Very educational yet a question. Will there be a video About Josip Broz Tito? He was a dictator of Yugoslavia yet a good one. Will there be a video coming out about him anytime soon?
most dictators love their country that their actions, though we may say are evil, was because of their love for their country. Perhaps they were only evil in history because they were defeated and painted as so by the victors. But there's a dictator that is considered good because he was not defeated - and dictatorship with iron fist was necessary at that time - Lee Kuan Yew. Looks what his dictatorship accomplished for Singapore.
Yes, MANY dictators believed they were doing GOOD. Hitler believed he was building a "Thousand Year Reich," of peace, plenty, and technological advancement. Unfortunately, he ALSO adopted the principle, favored by far too many political leaders, that "the end justifies the means," and his glorious Utopia wouldn't include certain people, like Slavs & Jews. Even Pol Pot thought he was doing the right thing, by exterminating Cambodians he considered genetically defective. To find truly EVIL dictators, one must go to the deepest cesspools of the "Third World," for men like "Papa Doc" Duvalier, who had a dungeon in the basement of his National Palace, where he personally tortured prisoners, or the "Emperor" Bokasa, who beat to death two dozen school children, because they didn't like a school uniform his brother had designed.
Without the Mongol Empire connecting the East and the West, Europeans would not have gotten their hands on the gunpowder technology for who knows how many centuries--which would have directly impacted their global colonization efforts.
I find it also noteworthy, that they left out that he personally saved the life of a J! (referring to his mother's doctor) Quite a few high-ranking Ns saved some Js, mostly when it came to highly decorated veterans of WWI, as that's a question of honour.
Despite what many would believe there is rarely if ever been a dictator that has been 100% pure evil Even if someone commits heinous crimes against humanity, there is a chance I have a one percent or 0.00001% goodness within them
minor correction, but genghis khan created the larger land based empire in history, not the largest empire in history, the 'honour' of having the largest empire period belonged to the british empire

Genghis Khan or Mongols to be precise, they didn't just come to today's Hungary. They even came to the banks of Danube in today's Balkan peninsula. Meaning to say that they came to South - Eastern part of Europe. Also Yugoslavian president Josip Broz Tito did a lot after WWII. He also helped literacy of Yugoslav citizens. Also Yugoslav engineers did many good things in the world, and some structures in USA, USSR, Africa, and South America were built by the civil engineers from Yugoslavia. Here is one fun fact. USA once bought some jet planes such as Soko G-2, and couple of Soko G-4, since they loved that engineering achievements, and performances as well.
The only thing close to good is making a drug legal (can't remember the name- which is why he is still leading Canada but soon hopefully we'll be free from that idiot) but ye-
First of all, Justin Trudeau is not a dictator in any way, shape, or form. Second, he's done lots of good things for Canada and the World, including legalizing marijuana (the "drug" the other moron here can't remember...). Why do I get the feeling you think Hitler is a good person?
People honestly just view Hitler as evil on how he harshly treated some people (by killing or enslaving some) and some people with harsh discipline (death penalty etc.), but overall he didn't want an evil world, just a very systematic and effective world.
What's really funny is actually learning about the things that you were taught again to find out what all was brainwashing polarization and what was actually history
Mao Zedong strikes me as a particularly vile dictator with little redeeming qualities apart from 'raised China from civil war and corruption to a major power again' and 'improved relations with the west late in his rule'. And that's...about...it. Enver Hoxha of Albania and Lenin too. About the only nice things I could say about them is that they both loved their wives and families, and they both tried to improve rights and education for women.

@@edi9892 dude SERIOUSLY getting such a high literacy rate in a country with Chinese as its language is impressive on the part of the CCP. Every single word in that language has an unique character for it that needs to be memorized - there is no such thing as Chinese "spelling". There are thousands.

Well.. the jews do have a ritual where they "transfer their sins to a chicken so that the chicken will be punished by god instead of them" which is then grabbed by its feet and bashed to death against a wall while professing how they are "punishing a sinner" to trick god. "kapparot" I think they call it

Please represent my favorite vegetarian asexual art loving war veteran who went from homeless in a second world country to president of it and making it a first world superpower more accurately
Hitler was not the President of Germany.He only combined the office of Chancellor and of the President.
I was going to comment why any American president wasn't mentioned; but then I remembered they didn't do anything good
Exactly
or maybe because they're not dictators since they were democratically elected
Bait used to be believable.
Because they were not dictators.
Learning to read with Stalin is crazy
I never knew of this, thanks Simple History but it doesn't escuse everything they've done.

5:18: Genghis Khan created the largest empire in human history. Us Brits would like to have a word
What he was meant to say largest CONTIGUOUS empire
@crashwave299 Even then, the Mongol Empire didn't reach its greatest extent until AFTER Genghis Khan died.
British empire were the largest mostly because of literal wastelands with 0 population in Canada and Australia.
@@4354-d4v Yeah, but they also included India, so your point is invalid. And, most of the Mongol Empire was also very sparsely populated.
@@MatthewTheWanderer if you remove no man's land from British empire it would much and much smaller than Mongolian empire. If Genghis Khan cared about stupid numbers, he could've pulled the same trick and colonize Siberia.
270,000 - 300,000 max. The reported number is impossibly unrealistic.
Yet Himmler and Goering were both avid hunters. I guess they went along so they themselves would not be executed.
hunters often love animals and the environment the most out of anyone, believe it or not. I think it's because they spend the most time around animals and the environment and have the time to develop a deep appreciation for nature.
Very educational yet a question. Will there be a video About Josip Broz Tito? He was a dictator of Yugoslavia yet a good one. Will there be a video coming out about him anytime soon?
No good deed goes unpunished

The Largest Empire in human history was the British Empire
Did the British Empire exist 1000 years ago?
most dictators love their country that their actions, though we may say are evil, was because of their love for their country.
Perhaps they were only evil in history because they were defeated and painted as so by the victors.
But there's a dictator that is considered good because he was not defeated - and dictatorship with iron fist was necessary at that time - Lee Kuan Yew. Looks what his dictatorship accomplished for Singapore.
Yes, MANY dictators believed they were doing GOOD. Hitler believed he was building a "Thousand Year Reich," of peace, plenty, and technological advancement. Unfortunately, he ALSO adopted the principle, favored by far too many political leaders, that "the end justifies the means," and his glorious Utopia wouldn't include certain people, like Slavs & Jews. Even Pol Pot thought he was doing the right thing, by exterminating Cambodians he considered genetically defective. To find truly EVIL dictators, one must go to the deepest cesspools of the "Third World," for men like "Papa Doc" Duvalier, who had a dungeon in the basement of his National Palace, where he personally tortured prisoners, or the "Emperor" Bokasa, who beat to death two dozen school children, because they didn't like a school uniform his brother had designed.
nah,. pretty sure Hilter and Stalin were objectively evil.
Commercial air travel, highways, foundation of space technology & Fanta!
Without the Mongol Empire connecting the East and the West, Europeans would not have gotten their hands on the gunpowder technology for who knows how many centuries--which would have directly impacted their global colonization efforts.
2:12 deliberately not mentioning what the traditions actually are lol
Thats what im saying!
Exactly
Evil people doesn't mean that they were extremely tyranical,but they have some good vision for their surroundings
I feel that calling Hitlers animal rights campaign as secretly anti-semetic is a bit of a stretch.
I find it also noteworthy, that they left out that he personally saved the life of a J!
(referring to his mother's doctor)
Quite a few high-ranking Ns saved some Js, mostly when it came to highly decorated veterans of WWI, as that's a question of honour.
Despite what many would believe there is rarely if ever been a dictator that has been 100% pure evil
Even if someone commits heinous crimes against humanity, there is a chance I have a one percent or 0.00001% goodness within them
minor correction, but genghis khan created the larger land based empire in history, not the largest empire in history, the 'honour' of having the largest empire period belonged to the british empire
Mr Pedant busy picking holes
Thank you so much for this amazing video! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How can I transfer them to Binance?
Genghis Khan or Mongols to be precise, they didn't just come to today's Hungary. They even came to the banks of Danube in today's Balkan peninsula. Meaning to say that they came to South - Eastern part of Europe.
Also Yugoslavian president Josip Broz Tito did a lot after WWII. He also helped literacy of Yugoslav citizens. Also Yugoslav engineers did many good things in the world, and some structures in USA, USSR, Africa, and South America were built by the civil engineers from Yugoslavia.
Here is one fun fact. USA once bought some jet planes such as Soko G-2, and couple of Soko G-4, since they loved that engineering achievements, and performances as well.

I was about to ask why isn't Trudeau in the video, but then I realized he's done nothing good
plus he's a clown 🤡
The only thing close to good is making a drug legal (can't remember the name- which is why he is still leading Canada but soon hopefully we'll be free from that idiot) but ye-
First of all, Justin Trudeau is not a dictator in any way, shape, or form. Second, he's done lots of good things for Canada and the World, including legalizing marijuana (the "drug" the other moron here can't remember...). Why do I get the feeling you think Hitler is a good person?
Because by definition, he's not a dictator?
Very interesting
Here before the cancelation
Stalin helped eliminate Hitler, that’s pretty much the only W Stalin took.
People honestly just view Hitler as evil on how he harshly treated some people (by killing or enslaving some) and some people with harsh discipline (death penalty etc.), but overall he didn't want an evil world, just a very systematic and effective world.

“He made also good things” ahhh video.
What's really funny is actually learning about the things that you were taught again to find out what all was brainwashing polarization and what was actually history
Mao Zedong strikes me as a particularly vile dictator with little redeeming qualities apart from 'raised China from civil war and corruption to a major power again' and 'improved relations with the west late in his rule'.
And that's...about...it.
Enver Hoxha of Albania and Lenin too. About the only nice things I could say about them is that they both loved their wives and families, and they both tried to improve rights and education for women.
its almost like their enemies in the media slandered and lied about them.
Imagine all the good these leaders could have done if it weren't for their vile nature so much potential for good wasted by being a monster
