If you all ever took AP World History and Euro History, etc. you'll recognize a lot of what he said. It's cramming evolution and thousands of years of history in one video - they shoulda played this during school lol.
@Throw Away of course, I agree. It was a well made video that everyone can understand. My point was that people who already learned this will recognize it, and that it's a good video.
As a history major, we should honestly depart from a Eurocentric or western history and consider history from other regional perspectives. But then if that’s the case for schools there would be an even more severe info overload for the younger students 😅
Every time I watch this, I end up giggling like a young girl about to go on her first date. It's incredibly well done, extremely informative, and way over the top all at the same time. But yeah. Kind of mind-boggling.
This would be the perfect video to start a world history class with on day one. Obviously there's no detail and he's going through it quickly, but you at least get a broad sense of how it all unfolded in an entertaining fashion.
the video is also like the perfect length for most class periods, It's like 20 minutes long, which should give the teacher some extra time to talk to the students and everything, or explain some stuff/answer questions
There's a history teacher's reaction channel on here, and he DOES show this video on day 1 and then again on the last day. First day he says "This is what we'll be learning all year, don't worry if you don't understand it right now." Then they watch at the end of the year to see how much they retained
For some context about the random beaver, beaver fur is borderline waterproof and when people found this out they started skinning them for their fur to stay dry.
That video is probably the best comprehensive way of understanding what it would be like to absorb all the knowledge as a download, like Neo. "I know king fu".
This is widely considered one of the overall best videos on youtube, for good reason. Its quite spectacular, Ive seen it so many time by now that I can almost quote it start to finish xD I still find it mindblowing.
I am happy that you enjoyed this and recommend it. However, remember that it doesn’t cover every culture or every country or every war or every religion or every issue that exists or existed in the past and still influences the present. So, it is a fantastic beginning point - but to think that this one experience can explain every aspect and is sufficient as an education, is not fair to all the other people, places and situations that make up the world. There are many histories not mentioned-the ancient Aboriginal peoples in Australia/New Guinea; the Inuit, Sami and many people who live/lived in frigid zones in North America and Europe; numerous tribes or cultures in North, Central or South America, and Africa - the list goes on and on. Of course, it would be impossible to include everyone everywhere from all time. But videos like this can be looked on as a starting point. Somebody may be more interested in studying just the spread and changes of languages or the development of art, architecture, entertainment, religions, or about animals-even extinct ones like dinosaurs, or about the spread of plants across continents or oceans, or the evolution of cuisines, clothing styles, philosophies, scientific discoveries, political beliefs, etc. This is a great video which shows that people love humor as they learn, and how visualizations like animated maps can really help. But it can’t replace years of in-depth study or research. Let’s hope it opens the eyes of lots of people to the richness of our shared history and shared planet.😊🌏🌍🌎
People are thinking just as much now as they were at any other point in time, arguably more so in some contexts. Ironically, this platitude is one of the best examples of one not thinking.

Remember, pretty much all of the atoms that make up every element we know and you and me came from the deaths of the first and second generation of Stars.

Love this video, but it doesn't replace actual history courses - this is great at reminding you about things you had learned but kinda forgotten.... and then pointed out some things you may not have known, and might persuade you to look up. It's a good primer, but any 15 second section of this video could have an entire semester of college to actually explain it.
Some teachers do play this for their students at the beginning of the year to kinda summarize what you’ll be learning. It took Bill Wurtz years to make this video.
This makes a stand on religion for me the most. Wish I could show this to my religious mother but hey…she’d had to take a break from all her religion to do so 😬
Well the thing is that this is just a summary. It's a great video but it's not a substitute for years of history classes. This video doesn't go into the hows and whys of human history. Why was Alexander the Great able to conquer the Persian Empire? How did the Roman or Mongol Empires rise or fall? Why was Hitler able to rise to power? Why did the Jews need to be given their original homeland back? Why did China break and reform over and over again? Why weren't the Americas on the same tech level as the Old World? It's not enough to know just what happened in history, you need to understand it so you can understand where we are now, and so we never repeat the same mistakes again.
Well, the thing is that it's a 19 minute video. Of course it isn't a substitute for years of history class or a comprehensive lesson in history otherwise. What it is, is an index from which you can use as a guide to comprehensive research outside of the video.
he completely skipped over Mao, Stalin, and Mussolini. The most evil dictators in history were all alive at the same time, you'd think the world was ending back then
Thing is most people do not know those guys, which is in itself sad, but Hitler is the 1 everyone knows of. Fucked up thing is Mao and Stalin both have huge body counts on their name but since both went dark after WW2 most people are ignorant of the horror. Stalin was directly responsible for the deaths of 6 million Russians with another 3 million dead from living under Government policies. Both Hitler and Stalin can not hold a candle to Mao and the Communists of China between 1958-1962 that killed upwards of 45 million Chinese PEOPLE. "It is not merely the extent of the catastrophe that dwarfs earlier estimates, but also the manner in which many people died: between two and three million victims were tortured to death or summarily killed, often for the slightest infraction. When a boy stole a handful of grain in a Hunan village, local boss Xiong Dechang forced his father to bury him alive. The father died of grief a few days later. The case of Wang Ziyou was reported to the central leadership: one of his ears was chopped off, his legs were tied with iron wire, a ten kilogram stone was dropped on his back and then he was branded with a sizzling tool - punishment for digging up a potato." www.washingtonpost.com/news/volokh-conspiracy/wp/2016/08/03/giving-historys-greatest-mass-murderer-his-due/
You looked confused near the beginning when a star was first formed and the video said "new shit just got made" the reason for this is all elements heavier than Hydrogen and Helium were formed in the heart of stars during the Fusion reactions. When those stars died out usually explosively those new elements were ejected into the universe. We are all STARDUST even though this may go against your beliefs about creation but we would not exist without the Fusion factories in the hearts of stars. What is even more beautiful is the thought that atoms in your right hand probably came from a different star then that atoms in your left. ruclips.net/video/YCQPw9pbZnk/видео.html ruclips.net/video/Iy7NzjCmUf0/видео.html
I gotta recommend checking out The Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers, if you want a neat little history lesson. In my opinion, it's one of the most impactful monuments in human society today- and one that most of us Americans are NOT familiar enough with because the education system is, unfortunately, really lacking in our country.
I've read that it took him 11 months to put this video together. A child could grab any one part of this video that might grab their eye and decide to study it further. And yeah there are curse words in it. All the better to grab their young attention!
"Now you got my mind thinking already!" - yeah, that was the point. This should be a high school class. Just show this every day, then take questions. Then do the same thing next day, because you probably missed most of it. MIght not make things easier on the students, but it sure as well would on the teachers.
Every part of life comes from the same life-giving cells, plants,s and animals, all animals developed brains and central nervous systems that are very much like our own to feel the basics of pain, fear, emotion, and having a perception of life. Plants did not develop a brain or nervous system, animals did and that is why they move to escape pain and know fear to know how to recognise who or what will cause them pain. Hence they are all sentient like ourselves. We have so far removed ourselves from real life that most humans will deny most animals any natural life at all, constantly interfering with them in the most horrific ways possible, and acting as though what we do is perfectly normal when it is not.
See, i grew up in Lebanon for middle school and most of this is basic knowledge at 11 years old. Maybe i just paid more attention because i like history but kids going into high school should have a basic idea about all of this.
I find it kind of staggering that most Americans I see reacting to this video are entirely oblivious to the vast majority of it. Do they not teach world history in the US? Or is it just not as in-depth as it is here (UK)?
Perhaps people just forget as soon as they leave school, I haven't been to school in years but my memory is still decent lol but it could also be cause i'm from Canada XD
There's a decent amount of things that are taught in highschool and middle school in this video, though in america the education differs from state to state so it isn't super consistent. I think a lot of it is that they don't really teach you in a way that promotes memory retention, moreso just getting you to cram as much as possible in a short time so you can use it for a quiz or test. When that stuff is only gone over once instead of continually used like the basics of math or english, people usually forget because they were only focused on getting their test/quiz right and not remembering anything long term, because they won't need it. the environment makes it so that the general attitude is learn this now, it doesn't matter if you forget it because you won't need it past this date.
You should react more to history videos, because despite this video is brilliant...it didn't show even a tiny fraction of history. There are many wars with millions of dead people (for example the 30 years war), that weren't even mention in this video. Again: I think this video is brilliant. But watching it isn't teaching you EVERYTHING. It doesn't even teaching you everything about really big, major events in history. It is only a first little step into the history of this planet. BTW: You laughed about the beaver in Canada. Mentioning the beaver wasn't a joke. It was a huge industry back then. They didn't found India. But at least they found beavers and other furry anymals to make huge amounts of money from them. I'm recommending to you every single video from the following channels: Oversimplified, Extra History, Epic History TV. All those channels have animated, brilliant videos that are often reacted to. Because they are entertaining and brilliant. Do that more, and I will subscribe to your channel. I don't need to see another reaction to South Park, Bill Burr or some rappers that have a scandal. Do something useful: React to entertaining & interesting history videos! Greetings Mega

History should not be a class but an obligation that we each put upon ourselves to learn so that we do not repeat the mistakes of our forebears. “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." George Santayana
I did not learn the vast majority of that history in Elementary school. If you mean it's kind of taught at that level in this video, I will kind of agree , though there's also some junior high level sarcasm at times.
lol, try to teach a american kid nowadays. If you ain't on tik tok they ain't listening to ur azz. you teach them something, then they say "well on youtube this guy said what your saying is fake news" call me by my pronouns or im suing.
Unfortunately there is more details than just put into this video. Like if this was just what you heard about ww2 it would be seen completely in a different light. It wouldnt seem like such an important historical event. I must admit I liked how the creator put in the fact that slavery still exists in some countries but it is not as prevelent. We know it doesnt exist here anymore but many people get misinformed about the rest of the world. He put the info inside the video in a respectable manner as to not offend anyone too much. I also liked how they mentioned certain parts of the world trying to stop the slave trade before the US finally stopped (when they showed the pic of martin luther king jr.). This would be a great video to watch as a review after taking a world history 1/2 class and maybe science classes for the very begining parts. It at least gives you a perspective of how many nations have been around and how many have been conquered over the years. It still suprises me how china is still going and ended up a communist country today. They still think of taiwan as a part of themselves hence all the debate over the US helping the country of taiwan against china's regime taking over again. Not a lot of people realise how old china really is. They brought up previous countries that came and went throughout history. The different religous factions being brought up I think was intersting too. They showed when they popped up and took a stab at each so none were really roasted more than the others. Which brings me to the use of the global map. It was done very well. I think the way it ended showcases the way the US is in right now still today. No one knows what the f is going on and people cannot use specifics correctly.
Something I noticed you did not comment on is the changing of Empires. When those lines changed on the map from Empire to Empire that involved the death of millions and millions over our long very blood soaked Human history. There is so little land in this world that isn't a place where some human being was killed at the hands of other people. Seeing it laid out in 20 min just makes me sick to my stomach.
Not every map change was bloody, though the vast majority were, true. This video has both hopeful (the elimination of slavery) and unhopeful (the constant presence of conflict) themes.
This reaction seems incredibly strange. There is no reason for it to make you sick to your stomach. Obviously, the video is not meant to be a comprehensive history or does it claim to be. What it does do is make the history of the world more accessible. People can use it as a guide and look up comprehensive history at various points in time. Not all coverage of history is, or should be, comprehensive. That you enjoy a comedy/parody film about history makes this comment even more strange.
You only slightly understand this video because of your years of proper schooling and it just goes to show that regular school time can only scratch the surface of our history. So maybe don’t shit on schools just bc you didn’t put in the work

Well, the thing is that it's a 19 minute video. Of course it isn't a substitute for years of history class or a comprehensive lesson in history otherwise. What it is, is an index from which you can use as a guide to comprehensive research outside of the video.
Let’s all Save the Planet: LOL, that’s George Carlin’s line. Very enjoyable video. ✌️
Its a good video to build enthusiasm for World history.
Living in the south, everytime I go outside I think "the Sun is a deadly laser"
he completely skipped over Mao, Stalin, and Mussolini. The most evil dictators in history were all alive at the same time, you'd think the world was ending back then
Hitler was the most evil dictator in history. Everyone knows that.
Thing is most people do not know those guys, which is in itself sad, but Hitler is the 1 everyone knows of. Fucked up thing is Mao and Stalin both have huge body counts on their name but since both went dark after WW2 most people are ignorant of the horror. Stalin was directly responsible for the deaths of 6 million Russians with another 3 million dead from living under Government policies. Both Hitler and Stalin can not hold a candle to Mao and the Communists of China between 1958-1962 that killed upwards of 45 million Chinese PEOPLE. "It is not merely the extent of the catastrophe that dwarfs earlier estimates, but also the manner in which many people died: between two and three million victims were tortured to death or summarily killed, often for the slightest infraction. When a boy stole a handful of grain in a Hunan village, local boss Xiong Dechang forced his father to bury him alive. The father died of grief a few days later. The case of Wang Ziyou was reported to the central leadership: one of his ears was chopped off, his legs were tied with iron wire, a ten kilogram stone was dropped on his back and then he was branded with a sizzling tool - punishment for digging up a potato." www.washingtonpost.com/news/volokh-conspiracy/wp/2016/08/03/giving-historys-greatest-mass-murderer-his-due/
7:19 where was this in class was the best statement I've heard.
Quarks and oreo stuf!
You looked confused near the beginning when a star was first formed and the video said "new shit just got made" the reason for this is all elements heavier than Hydrogen and Helium were formed in the heart of stars during the Fusion reactions. When those stars died out usually explosively those new elements were ejected into the universe. We are all STARDUST even though this may go against your beliefs about creation but we would not exist without the Fusion factories in the hearts of stars. What is even more beautiful is the thought that atoms in your right hand probably came from a different star then that atoms in your left. ruclips.net/video/YCQPw9pbZnk/видео.html ruclips.net/video/Iy7NzjCmUf0/видео.html
Humans are made of nuclear waste of the stars.
He says his mind exploded? Must have been a very tiny explosion then! 😂🤣😂
I gotta recommend checking out The Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers, if you want a neat little history lesson. In my opinion, it's one of the most impactful monuments in human society today- and one that most of us Americans are NOT familiar enough with because the education system is, unfortunately, really lacking in our country.
I've read that it took him 11 months to put this video together.
A child could grab any one part of this video that might grab their eye and decide to study it further.
And yeah there are curse words in it.
All the better to grab their young attention!
"water is in the egg" 😂
i didnt know imdontai has an older brother lol
"Now you got my mind thinking already!" - yeah, that was the point.
This should be a high school class. Just show this every day, then take questions. Then do the same thing next day, because you probably missed most of it. MIght not make things easier on the students, but it sure as well would on the teachers.
I was like "ugh" as soon as she started talking. lmfao
@@GeneralLocooo
No, she spelled it out. Why people should see this. You can "ugh" all you want, but that's the correct reaction.
Every part of life comes from the same life-giving cells, plants,s and animals, all animals developed brains and central nervous systems that are very much like our own to feel the basics of pain, fear, emotion, and having a perception of life.
Plants did not develop a brain or nervous system, animals did and that is why they move to escape pain and know fear to know how to recognise who or what will cause them pain. Hence they are all sentient like ourselves.
We have so far removed ourselves from real life that most humans will deny most animals any natural life at all, constantly interfering with them in the most horrific ways possible, and acting as though what we do is perfectly normal when it is not.
I actually watched this in Science class when I was still in school!
You have to watch Fun to Imagine with Richard Feynman. It's awesome and you'll learn a lot.
And this just skimmed the surface
Thinking isnt a bad thing my guy
you should react to how deep the ocean is if you haven't already
I feel so special to be able to understand every second of the video 😎🤙
See, i grew up in Lebanon for middle school and most of this is basic knowledge at 11 years old.
Maybe i just paid more attention because i like history but kids going into high school should have a basic idea about all of this.
Bill Wurtz's music is really great.
Fun Fact: The word "Lord" is derived from a word meaning "Bread Warden".

We should all join the church of Ozzie for rock 'n' roll is his religion and law!
The creator of this History video said it took him 11 months to make it
Yall should check out some of the Oversimplified videos..
This must have taken him hours to make.
Took him a year. He hated the process and almost quit on it several times he said.
Yeah, not 59 min... But more than just some hours...
I find it kind of staggering that most Americans I see reacting to this video are entirely oblivious to the vast majority of it. Do they not teach world history in the US? Or is it just not as in-depth as it is here (UK)?
Perhaps people just forget as soon as they leave school, I haven't been to school in years but my memory is still decent lol but it could also be cause i'm from Canada XD
There's a decent amount of things that are taught in highschool and middle school in this video, though in america the education differs from state to state so it isn't super consistent. I think a lot of it is that they don't really teach you in a way that promotes memory retention, moreso just getting you to cram as much as possible in a short time so you can use it for a quiz or test. When that stuff is only gone over once instead of continually used like the basics of math or english, people usually forget because they were only focused on getting their test/quiz right and not remembering anything long term, because they won't need it. the environment makes it so that the general attitude is learn this now, it doesn't matter if you forget it because you won't need it past this date.
You should watch " History Of The World Part 1 " by Mel Brooks 🤙🤙
That is definitely 1 of my all time favs!!!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 legendary 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
You should react more to history videos, because despite this video is brilliant...it didn't show even a tiny fraction of history. There are many wars with millions of dead people (for example the 30 years war), that weren't even mention in this video.
Again: I think this video is brilliant. But watching it isn't teaching you EVERYTHING. It doesn't even teaching you everything about really big, major events in history. It is only a first little step into the history of this planet.
BTW:
You laughed about the beaver in Canada. Mentioning the beaver wasn't a joke. It was a huge industry back then. They didn't found India. But at least they found beavers and other furry anymals to make huge amounts of money from them.
I'm recommending to you every single video from the following channels:
Oversimplified, Extra History, Epic History TV.
All those channels have animated, brilliant videos that are often reacted to. Because they are entertaining and brilliant. Do that more, and I will subscribe to your channel.
I don't need to see another reaction to South Park, Bill Burr or some rappers that have a scandal.
Do something useful: React to entertaining & interesting history videos!
Greetings
Mega
Alexei Katyushkov here from russia, i love your videos 🖤 really helps with whats going on rn
He does some great stuff check out "just did a bad thing"
One class? One video....lol.
This was a brilliant unique presentation.
People dont' know this, but "barbarian" is the Greco-Roman term for people who are foreign or people who speak "gibberish." In other word "Blah-Blah-Rian."
Madagascar actually has a near 100% population of mixed black/Asian people. They also have an African martial art compared to muay thai called moraingy.
What Japan did to Nanking, China was FUCKED UP!!! Imagine a Nazi tellilng you that your'e crossing the line. I think they had rape competitions and shit.
About European royalty marrying each other, not only was incest a thing to keep the bloodline pure in some regions of the world, but Tsar Nicholas II of Russia is the cousin of King George V of Britian.
you should react to some sam o nella. his one about non water floods is really funny and educational but they all are.
How about History of the World Part 1 by Mel Brooks? Hint, its would never by shown in school.
It's the best history class I ever had
History should not be a class but an obligation that we each put upon ourselves to learn so that we do not repeat the mistakes of our forebears. “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." George Santayana
elementary school history crammed into 15 minutes 😅
I did not learn the vast majority of that history in Elementary school. If you mean it's kind of taught at that level in this video, I will kind of agree , though there's also some junior high level sarcasm at times.
What do they do in American schools every day?
practice dodging bullets
Not much...
lol, try to teach a american kid nowadays. If you ain't on tik tok they ain't listening to ur azz. you teach them something, then they say "well on youtube this guy said what your saying is fake news" call me by my pronouns or im suing.
@@cheebees .........but can they conjugate their verbs?
Teach very propagandized history.
I feel like y’all might like the napoleonic wars by oversimplified.
Unfortunately there is more details than just put into this video. Like if this was just what you heard about ww2 it would be seen completely in a different light. It wouldnt seem like such an important historical event. I must admit I liked how the creator put in the fact that slavery still exists in some countries but it is not as prevelent. We know it doesnt exist here anymore but many people get misinformed about the rest of the world. He put the info inside the video in a respectable manner as to not offend anyone too much. I also liked how they mentioned certain parts of the world trying to stop the slave trade before the US finally stopped (when they showed the pic of martin luther king jr.). This would be a great video to watch as a review after taking a world history 1/2 class and maybe science classes for the very begining parts. It at least gives you a perspective of how many nations have been around and how many have been conquered over the years. It still suprises me how china is still going and ended up a communist country today. They still think of taiwan as a part of themselves hence all the debate over the US helping the country of taiwan against china's regime taking over again. Not a lot of people realise how old china really is. They brought up previous countries that came and went throughout history. The different religous factions being brought up I think was intersting too. They showed when they popped up and took a stab at each so none were really roasted more than the others. Which brings me to the use of the global map. It was done very well. I think the way it ended showcases the way the US is in right now still today. No one knows what the f is going on and people cannot use specifics correctly.
Guys, what happened to the Towelie video?
It was blocked for some reason
3 months ago. Yeah, sorry.. That vid is the peak of RUclips. It's all downhill from there.
Something I noticed you did not comment on is the changing of Empires. When those lines changed on the map from Empire to Empire that involved the death of millions and millions over our long very blood soaked Human history. There is so little land in this world that isn't a place where some human being was killed at the hands of other people. Seeing it laid out in 20 min just makes me sick to my stomach.
Not every map change was bloody, though the vast majority were, true. This video has both hopeful (the elimination of slavery) and unhopeful (the constant presence of conflict) themes.
This reaction seems incredibly strange. There is no reason for it to make you sick to your stomach. Obviously, the video is not meant to be a comprehensive history or does it claim to be. What it does do is make the history of the world more accessible. People can use it as a guide and look up comprehensive history at various points in time.
Not all coverage of history is, or should be, comprehensive.
That you enjoy a comedy/parody film about history makes this comment even more strange.
these guys have negative IQ feels bad man
I agree
You only slightly understand this video because of your years of proper schooling and it just goes to show that regular school time can only scratch the surface of our history. So maybe don’t shit on schools just bc you didn’t put in the work
