How the Worst Periods In History Got Better
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 июл 2024
- Humanity has lived through some horrific periods in history, including natural disasters, plagues, and man-made crises. Plagues have threatened to wipe out civilization more than once, while famine, floods, and fires have brought devastation and destruction. Wars, depressions, and atomic weapons have also contributed to the darkest times in human history.
How did the world recover from calamities like the Black Death, the Great Depression, and the Spanish flu?

As a shut-in, disabled vet I want to say how much I appreciate your excellent channel.
I love studying history and it's channels like yours that help bring the classroom to my bedside.
Thank you for sharing these thought-provoking programs!
@joshua Stanaway Thank you for your kind words!
God bless you sir. Thankyou. I can only hope that we as a nation are worthy of the sacrifices you made on our behalf.
@@douglasmcneil6689 Thank you for your kind words!
Good quality content
Thank you so much for the sacrifices you have made we owe our freedom to you I hope you’re doing OK I’m really happy that you enjoy learning about history I also am fascinated and love watching this channel to learn about history They really have a great way of teaching history with a little humour
All joking aside, the only thing left in Pandora's box was hope. So after the dark periods come times of peace and prosperity. This too shall pass.
As unoriginal as it sounds, it will pass, but it will pass like a kidney stone
I think that was more of a cruel joke from the gods.
So that people could suffer even more...
If you are able to watch videos and type out comments, then times are not "dark". Trust me, stop watching the media hype. You are still fed, clothed, sheltered, and able to watch RUclips videos.
I've been seeing ALOT of talk about EMP's lately. Whether man made or from the sun wiping out the infrastructure. THAT would be bad
Very well said. Great example given.
Its important that we remember that things can get better. It's not blind optimism, it's a drive for humanity to try. If we just accept that things are not going to improve, then why try at all?
You're exactly right. This is what I hate the phrase "the new normal" Thank you for thinking clearly in the midst of a population in panic.

@marla singer Fear is healthy. Fear can motivate change. Fear can be controlled and reasoned with. Panic is uncontrollable, Unreasonable fear. And is usually destructive to the person experiencing it. Fear will cause you to leave a burning building. Panic will cause a stampede that will kill more people than the fire itself. Fear can drive you to try. Panic stops you from thinking.

Dude stop linking this in comments, it has nothing to do with the vid.
I always adore of how this channel tries to do something different with their editing style on every video they make.
Adore? Gay choice of words
Maybe they have different editors
@@firebird_spleen4190 Do you have something against synonyms or just gay people? 😶
@UCiJVhiYLIoH-cY5O0ywOzGw Fairy? I’m a black girl. Adore isn’t a word strictly for women or gay people to use. William Shakespeare used to word adore, is he gay in your eyes? Admire is on the same level as adore. Plus, why go policing what people say?
@@vyentro29 That word was used in different context then, not like today.
so what did you during the pandemic?

A what did you do in quarantine question
I don't count that as a good thing.
I sampled some porn sites, downloaded over 100GB of porn and organised it on my computer. That counts as being just as productive, right?

@@kenthekool despite the current turmoil, we still have it better than anyone in human history
Why though
Things just might get worse...
People act as if 2020 is the worst year in history, but the fact is that its not even among the worst 1000 years in history.
When shit really hit the fan people will look at this year like the good old days.
If I hear, "unprecedented times" again I'm going to loose it!
It is the worst year in decades. Very few people were alive for WWII or the great depression. So for most of us, we have nothing to compare it to. Over a million deaths worldwide and that is 100% on the low end as many nations are underreporting. Add on to that the economic impact and this will go down as the worst year for billions of people.
It's all relative- For many people, particularly in the West, the emergence of Covid-19 and the ensuing economic uncertainty, societal fractures, political weirdness etc. all within the first few months of the year (not to mention the threat of nuclear war with Iran/USA/North Korea in January alone!) has been utterly incomprehensible. Add in the fear of Covid and the way we get our global news so instantly now, in some ways, it really is the worst for our psyches. We're being bombarded with distressing info everywhere we turn and to say "The worst year ever!" is hyperbole for sure, to us en masse around the world, it really can FEEL like this is about as bad as it could get.
You are right, it is just the governments, and especially media, that makes it look like for some uneducated people.
Just remember, we are the decendents from those that survived every catastrophe Earth has ever endured.. We will survive again. ❤

We most certainly will!

@@Mousey10101 I keep chocolates around for that purpose, my boyfriend however manages to make hot baverages to equal success!
As a biologist, I think that this "worst lead to something better" principle also applies to some aspects of evolution. For example, we contain ancient "viruses" in our DNA (called transposons) which have inserted themselves millions of years ago. Although these transposons have and still can mess up our DNA by breaking chromosomes and destroying genes they also gave us additional DNA sequences which were used to drive evolution (I just made a video about that). Without these ancient "viruses" for example we would have not able to make placentas meaning that dogs, cats or us could not exist today. Interesting principle I think!
Except evolution doesn't happen.

Thank you for making this. We all need to know we will get through this pandemic - it's just hard to imagine an end, when we're trapped in the middle of it.
Most pandemics last about 18 months
Here in Canada it will be used as a political tool for years to come. Identity politics is how this country is ran. So I'm not optimistic about 18 months lmao.
Gotta love them for stepping on this topic and making it fun

Sorry for your loss
Have y'all ever considered making a video about the entire history of a nation? Kind of like Bill Wurtz's History of Japan or History of the entire World. That would be pretty interesting.
Fire of learning is a channel that has videos like that ruclips.net/user/Fireoflearningfeatured
The Wurtz vids are what happens when a population with the attention span of a fish can't be bothered to learn actual history so it gets watered down to a forgettable memey mess with nobody gaining any actual knowledge.
@@RobotacularRoBob To be fair, Wurtz never meant his videos to be educational, they are pieces of comedy and should be regarded as such
@@RobotacularRoBob bro, Wurtz content is entertainment...just chill out and stop being so condescending

"French revolution pushed for human rights" *laughs in Haitian*
Wouldn't Haitians be laughing in French?
@The Gentle Guy pal. I'm pretty sure that my ancestors didn't like being tortured, violated and killed by the French even though "they treated other races better".
@marla singer when did I belittle anyone? I don't have any issue with current day French ppl since it wasn't their fault. I'm angry at their ancestors for what they did to so many ppl. You can be proud of your French ancestry without agreeing with that part of history. Honestly, I think you're just trying to start beef lol

I feel like it's a sequel to The Most Destructive Pandemics and Epidemics in Human History. Also reminds me of Would You Survive in a Different Era?
You people are so good at Weird History. Thank you so much for providing education, entertainment and inspiration to learn more.
I'd like to see a video on how Rwanda recovered after the massacre of the Tutsis by the Hutus. That country is doing very good now!
Excellent idea!
The underlying point of this video is: history shows that every time there was a downturn or a catastrophe, things eventually turned better. I know this is what people want to hear now but that is the real issue: using history for propaganda. There is no evidence that things will be so much better as soon as the pandemic is over, and a real overcoming of the pandemic may require a complete revolution in our ways of living (not necessarily a bad thing).
The role of this pandemic is to dilute humanity, thus, hypothetically, allowing the survivors to rebuild with enough resources for all. We definitely need to review our existence and reinvent to rebuild.
We're not done with the aftermath of covid, we have heaps more to deal with. These famous moments were rude awakenings, usually made possible by long running ignorance. Reverting back to problematic times is also possible when corrupt people and decisions take advantage of peacetime.
@laser325 I hope not. But, that's a possibility.
"Using history for propaganda"
Bingo. That's exactly what his intentions were. It was oh so obvious, lol. CNN would be proud.
I'm having my period right now so this should be interesting
Eat chocolate
😶😐
You have my deepest sympathy
DISGUSTANG!
Didn't really wanted to know that but ok
This gives me some hope. The important thing right now is to be careful and stay safe. If we survive, we might walk into another golden age or something.
Poignant topic to be sure. We are currently living in what will indeed be considered ”weird history”. I can't wait to see the video. If I live that long that is.

Can you please do a video on The War of 1812 ? It’s so under rated
Whenever an American gets uppity make sure to remind them Brits and Canadians burned the White House
@@nathanialramirez160 Just a reminder: Britian lost to peasent farmers.
@@PinkFloydBootlegs
Nope, the American Revolution was supported primarily by the American aristocracy. People such as wealthy merchants, slave owners and intellectuals. The leadership of the revolution was wealthy, well connected and were no peasants. Meanwhile, France supported America and so did the Dutch, so combined with that the English cut their losses. In no way did they lose to “peasant farmers.”
@@nathanialramirez160 Don't forget General Howe and Admiral Howe, the brothers who commanded Britain's army and navy. They were halfhearted at best. They passed on every opportunity to win the revolutionary war.
I don't think George the 3rd was any better liked in England than he was here.
We won the War of 1812 after losing every battle. The only battle we won was after it was over. Though neither side knew it at the time.
@@nathanialramirez160
But... the rich, well connected Americans supported the war. They funded it with their own money. The peasant farmers fought it. It was their unrelenting sticktoitiveness that showed our eventual allies that we ment business and could actually win.
Cigar is more correct.
Thank you so much for this. We all know we're living though history again. There's a chance we might live though it.
Appreciate this channels content I love learning about weird history!
I really like the editing style on this video.
One thing we can be certain is this. We never thought we live in the golden age but we will always live in the worst age. At least, in our own thoughts. And can you do the video about Timurid Renaissance, please?
This is a video I really needed to see after all the craziness of this year. Thank you
you mentioned healthcare developing in the west for Europe but forgot to include North America -- Canada also developed health care too.
Wonder why the us didn’t go for universal healthcare as well?
We are living in a worst period right now that means things will get better.
RIGHT

So getting paid to stay indoors all year was bad?
Wrong, worst times have yet to arrive

Yes please!
Topics like this make me want to study history, there are so many tiny facts that I can never distinguish from being important or just a random tidbit. Your interesting facts also have importance and back up the topic/argument.
"Dad, how did the COVID period get better?" ... "Simple son, the news cycle moved on and everyone forgot about it."
13 thousand years ago was the worst for us. We're going to go through that again.
What is most worrisome about this pandemic is that: in the scheme of things, it is nothing, and this is the way we react? God help us when there is a serious calamity in this world..
Some people, yes
Love the new editing style!
When I was a kid I thought it was called the potato famine because they had nothing to eat BUT potatoes.

Great video I actually passed my history test because of you
Bottom line of this fascinating video is that we need pandemics to help us move forward to flourish as a human society. How comforting(: I don't want to sound too selfish but I'd rather have my pre-Covid life back😊
Covid 19 "pushed" us to make the mrna vaccines. Mrna has been studied for years. It took the pandemic to put the knowledge in use

Nice video! Thanks you. Heads up though- the image you used for Robert Hooke was Isaac Newton. And the image you used for Isaac Newton was Edmund Haley =) Overall, nice job.
Wow! History is just an endless loop, Hoover, and FDR situation is a similar situation today
Except biden is no fdr
I hope you don't believe the new deal did anything but extend the great depression and royally fuck up our country.
@@Noneofyourbusiness2000 If you actually read the new deal, which I had to do in class, and you learned how it effected our economy by bringing us out of a depression, while also adding a standard federal wage, aid for the elderly, and a huge problem he stopped business stock buy backs. Now please your side 🙏
@@tyvizenor4076 FDR was an amazing president. Biden is not close either, but Trump is so much worse.... the only reason why Trump got voted in was because Hillary was so much worse
@@Ghostofwar08. Do yourself a favor and forget all the propoganda you learned in school. Price fixing and the minimum wage caused a huge number of layoffs. FDR only brought security to the elderly by taking the security away from future elderly. SS is a giant liability now and will eventually fail. That means people who put money into SS, unlike the first generation, won't see a dime for their efforts. Did you know FDR had the government pay farmers to not produce anything? That resulted in increased food prices, during the great depression of all times, and of course also cost the jobs of many farm hands and migrant workers. His tax hikes, price fixing, and labor laws also bankrupted numerous businesses, and also stiffled investment in private enterprise. Instead people and companies invested in government works projects, or better put, a complete waste of resources. I could go on and on, but I've probably already wasted enough time. It sounds like you have fully embraced your government education.
Virgin Herbert Hoover vs the Chad FDR

Damn, this is soo eurocentric. Out of the 11 different events, only one wasn't in Europe or the US. Seriously you guys, try to add some variation. I mean, you didn't even mention the late bronze age collapse, *the worst event in human history* . It gave way to the neo Assyrian empire and the classical era of Greece. But I forgot, it didn't happen in western Europe, sorry.

Lol. Newton pushes science ahead by a century. We're bingeing on social media.
After that preamble, I was 50% sure the end was gonna be about how we got over the loss of Mrs. Garrett.
So what you’re saying is, we need to care about each other and go a little further left in the US to make this better?

Herbert Hover protecting domestic jobs, wasn’t a misstep. He just didn’t aid in distributing food to the masses like FDR did.
Also the NAFTA, NORTH AMERICA FREE TRADE AGREEMENT, was one of the primary causes leading to the Great Recession. Leading to the outsourcing, of most our high paying manufacturing employment. Now we are left with low paying service jobs and the manufacturing jobs still available have significantly fewer benefits and have all but done away with pensions. Replacing them with 401k’s, to ensure employers don’t have to pay for the remainder of a lifetime
Thanks for making this video. For participating in a positive way during this time.
I guess it naturally leads to the question; What changes are we going to make now? About climate change, how the world responds to corruption and abuse of power in government, law enforcement and business, about our global health that the pandemic has brought into focus? It's our turn; are we up for the challenge?
