I couldn't remember how i found this man on RUclips, but he is by far the best teacher i have ever known. Thank you again, I wish you a fast recovery of your injuries.
This man is the best lecturer I've ever heard. I've never been so immersed in anything, and he's just speaking. No videos or pictures. Absolutely brilliant.
Nice.😊 I hated history in school it was boring. But now I love it . I especially love those who lived through the historical times . Like 90 year old people.. they are living history books and I love hearing their stories. They were there in history. Were you?
About to sit through this but how the hell am I supposed to pay attention to a dr. Casagranda talk if he's not gesticulating and pacing all over the place?!?! That's like %50 of the fun and the inculcating/inoculating prowess of this man. Praying for the quick mending of that ailed limb, that literal pillar of knowledge. Salam
My thoughts exactly, it was sad to see someone I care about in pain, but my next thought (a selfish one) was how would that work for me? but as usual he proved me wrong. He is just as engaging and informative as ever. Salaams
Never in my life I've wished to go to the US but now its become one of my aims in life to get to Austin and sit there in just one of Dr. Casagranda's lectures! The power of the talent of this man!
@@irie1tes there are a ton of them.. Prof Casagrada is a very talented story teller, but he's also idelogically blinkered. I couldn't easily catch him on his tales of the Islamic Conquests, but Here he wanders into historical territory that I know extremely well and the entire tale is full of ideological twists and falsehoods.. the supposed "blooodthirst" comment, etc.. it's all very bad history. Also as mentioned below.. dead and completely wrong re main reasons for British to enter the war.
Can't wait for part 2! It's always a pleasure to hear Dr.Casagranda tell history, sometimes I think he was there and witnessed it for himself Incredible story teller
@@ahmedghazal3568 He is being sarcastic. Dr. Casagranda makes many erroneous statements in his lectures. He quite frequently makes claims that are wrong and have no factual basis.
You interweave complex socio-historical moments to form an exciting well-rounded picture. Dr. Roy, Thank you so much. I am so glad that I found you. Take care of yourself! We need our truthtellers, now more than ever.
Salam from Ramallah Dr. Casagandra , may you please tell the story of the Nakba or Omar AlKhattab. My family sits and watches your lectures and in a time when school is shut because of the war , you bring knowledge and experience that even our best teachers can’t accomplish with a powerful engaging way. My children benefit immensely as do I. Also may you recover soon our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Can't do it. Broke his left hand walking home from this lecture. Seriously love the knowledge of history but not the lefty bias. Many other historians disagree.
Please, upload part 2. This was amazing and I could watch hours of Casagranda talk about this era of history for hours on end. It all is more than relevant now than ever and we need to talk about how everything happened in the first place.
I write up mindmaps and notes when I listen to him. There's so much to understand and he does a wonderful job telling us even the backgrounds so we fully understand. This man is a national treasure. We need to protect him at all costs.

Hello everyone. I'm a German history student who happened upon this lecture. First and foremost, I must say I'm deeply impressed by the speaker's skills and the wealth of knowledge being shared here. However, I'd like to point out two minor errors that caught my attention. When Dr. Casagranda began talking about Prussia, he mentioned that the Polish king called upon the Prussians to fight for him. In fact, the Prussians were one of the tribes living in the present-day Baltics who posed such challenges to the Polish kings. So, it wasn't the Prussians he called upon, but rather the Teutonic Order. This was a knightly order, akin to the Knights Hospitaller or the Knights Templar, founded during the First Crusade in the Holy Land, which, after the collapse of the Crusader states, sought territories. After an unsuccessful attempt in the Balkans, it established its own domain in the Baltics which was called Prussia much later. Following the Reformation, the Order's territory became a secular duchy, and because the last Grand Master came from the House of Hohenzollern, he became its duke. However, this line of the house eventually died out, and Prussia thus passed to Brandenburg, which was also ruled by the Hohenzollerns. The second minor error concerns the statement: "Prussia is an army without a state." In fact, I'm not familiar with this exact phrase; rather, it's often quoted slightly differently: "Other states have an army, but the Prussian army has a state." This phrase doesn't originate from the time when the Teutonic Order conquered the territories of Prussia, but rather from the 18th and 19th centuries. Allegedly attributed to the French statesman Honoré Gabriel de Mirabeau, this statement refers to the militarization in Prussia, which began not until after the Thirty Years' War, flourished in the 18th century, and was further strengthened after the Napoleonic Wars through the "Prussian reforms."

Thanks Dr. Casagranda! Having the prowess and humor to take us back several centuries and different places and players to set up the whole lecture is masterful.
The man is a genius.I found him by chance and was hooked.I wonder how can someone remember dates so vividly and names! He throws around names from thousands of years ago and he is accurate..what a memory! Vow! He makes hearing history a treat.Thnx Dr.Casagranda.I lap up everything u post and I see and hear it again and again .Its the best audio to hear when I go for my walks.Previously I used listen to music.Not anymore..Salaam and respects from Pakistan.
I’m hooked to your lectures, so much information that I’ve never known nor do I think I’m better for it. In fact, I’m even more confused about my own existence as a human being considering current events. Have we learned anything about decency? All the pillage, plunder and genocide…it’s crazy. Still, such amazing lectures, and I am so grateful you have shared it with us.❤
A bit with Prussia is a bit more complicated. Polish duke granted land to Teutons (Knighty Order) to defend agaisnt "real' Prussians that were pagan baltic people. Teutons were effective but also very ambitious and through machinations finally established independent state. State consisted of lands taken from polish dukes and conquered territories from Prussians(in series of papaly approved crusades). In conquest and administration they were very effective and very brutal creating suprisingly powerful medieval state. Large income was also generated from crusades, as western knights paid a lot to participate in holy raids againts pagans. After around 150years Poland finally consolidated and allied with LIthuanians to retake stolen lands and remove Teutonic threat. After series of wars Teutonic State was cut down to East Prussia only, and finally in 1525 they secularized into protestant Duchy of Prussia as vassal of Polish Kings. In 1618 the Prussian line of Hohenzollern has ended and Brandenurgian Hohenzollerns took over and formed personal union. Then in 1657 Duchy of Prussia became soveregin, in 1701 King in Prussia title was established. And then, after some 40-50 years , militarization really became so radical that we can say of state built around army.
Im impatiently waiting for part II now,and i never recall myself this anxious for a history class So thank you for making it simple, enjoyable and as far as it gets to the truth.
Never had one heard the history in such an exciting way . He is so engrossed, lucid , with reasons and details as no one comes near him. There's high drama and high learning.

1:42:30 Our physiological responses to danger are fight, flight, freeze, fawn, or friend. Rather inconsequential in the grand scheme of course, just wanted to put it out there. I’m absolutely loving the lectures, btw. Thanks for providing them for free.
The background that is given to each tedious subject is gold. History is sooo complex and intertwined that every new piece of information could itself be a rabbit hole of information.
Wish I had a professor like this gentleman who actually has passion about history and preserving real history and culture having a little passion and with the humor you throw in now and then thank you for your time and knowledge it’s gratefully appreciated
This is single handedly the best lecture I’ve ever listened to! The way he packs so much information in such a concise manner, he helped me connect all the dots. Brilliant! Obsessed 🤩
Finished the whole lecture more or less in one setting 😂. Dr. Roy has the power of grabbing attention like no other man I have ever known. Salam from Bangladesh ❤❤
I’m going to watch this video while seating instead of working around my little work shop to give a respect to Dr Roy❤❤I’m with you on this 😁❤Massive Respect!🙏🏻
I find peace in knowing there are more people like myself, obsessed with history of the world wars and their impact on our world. Thank you for sharing this
Wow, just wow. This is so rich, apart from the main theme, in every other sentence he touched so many significant events of human history that I have lost count of how many times I searched google & discussion forums to make sense of it. This guy is a genius, Respect 🙏
When you mentiond the breakdown of the nervouis system of the soilders due to artillery barrage, this remind me of Innocent Civilians in GAZA and those little children observing their hands constantly shivering. 😥

Great story, as always! Minor correction: Deshima is an island in front of Nagasaki, not Hiroshima. Both cities were nuked, so it has no effect to the story.
Casagrande is LEGEND!!Finally the deep economic and cultural breakdown of WWI & WWII !! I waited a long time for this - i had a sense of it from my own studies BUT DAAYUNG Leave it to Professor Roy's supreme flow to bring it all together !! Droppin' bombs literally and figuratively!!
20:24 saying america didnt conquer and annex everything is deeply misleading; all they did was refrain from using the words annex and conquer, and hide their actions behind native actors and coups. There should be more emphasis on what it means that their military covers 75% of the world
Small correction about Japan: Christianity was not seen as evil but seen as threat because unlike with shinto and buddhist faith, the boss would no longer be Daimyo, Shogun or Emperor but God and perhaps Pope in Europe. Very simimar situation than with Christians early in Roman Empire. Also it was seen as negative influence for warriors as christians would be afraid the desth more as nobody wants to go hell (Which is why introducing buddhism to Samurai class was a big thing earlier) Japan was not afraid of guns, but guns were essential to win a civil war, So Togukawa shogunate decided to ban guns from anybody else and restrict foreign trade (potential source of the guns). Thus making sure there would be no rebellions, This worked until Meiji restoration
Learning so much about real history and not the fiction we have been taught throughout the years. Love Dr. Roy's lectures, and think i was introduced to him through Tik Tok, yes shocking something educational on Tik Tok.
I have been reading history for 55 years. Never accept any historians take as the "real" history. As Napoleon said: "History is a set of lies agreed upon." I love this professors take on history. But you should read and listen critically. Never accept a narrative just because it is entertaining. But I do think this professor has a very interesting and unique take on history.
I'm glad this professor wasn't at my university when I was studying; otherwise, I might have become a historian instead of an engineer. I love your lectures and appreciate the excellent work you do. Please keep it up!

If you like this type of story telling ypu should listen to hardcore history by dan carlin. Its the best on the internet
@@mugiwara7347 thank you
Dat heb je mooi verwoord
@@silversurfer2140in het begin zei hij dat het heel moeilijk uit te leggen was omdat het niet lineair was, ik dacht gelijk aan de regisseur Nolan 😅 great minds think alike. Deze professor is gewoon geweldig 🫡🫡
@@mugiwara7347will definitly check it out, thank you
Thanks Dr. Casagranda! Having the prowess and humor to take us back several centuries and different places and players to set up the whole lecture is masterful.
The man is a genius.I found him by chance and was hooked.I wonder how can someone remember dates so vividly and names! He throws around names from thousands of years ago and he is accurate..what a memory! Vow! He makes hearing history a treat.Thnx Dr.Casagranda.I lap up everything u post and I see and hear it again and again .Its the best audio to hear when I go for my walks.Previously I used listen to music.Not anymore..Salaam and respects from Pakistan.
I’m hooked to your lectures, so much information that I’ve never known nor do I think I’m better for it. In fact, I’m even more confused about my own existence as a human being considering current events. Have we learned anything about decency? All the pillage, plunder and genocide…it’s crazy. Still, such amazing lectures, and I am so grateful you have shared it with us.❤
So much disinformation
Bro, I was in need for some insight on the world wars, thank god this great teacher decided to make a serie!! 🎉
A bit with Prussia is a bit more complicated. Polish duke granted land to Teutons (Knighty Order) to defend agaisnt "real' Prussians that were pagan baltic people. Teutons were effective but also very ambitious and through machinations finally established independent state. State consisted of lands taken from polish dukes and conquered territories from Prussians(in series of papaly approved crusades). In conquest and administration they were very effective and very brutal creating suprisingly powerful medieval state. Large income was also generated from crusades, as western knights paid a lot to participate in holy raids againts pagans. After around 150years Poland finally consolidated and allied with LIthuanians to retake stolen lands and remove Teutonic threat. After series of wars Teutonic State was cut down to East Prussia only, and finally in 1525 they secularized into protestant Duchy of Prussia as vassal of Polish Kings. In 1618 the Prussian line of Hohenzollern has ended and Brandenurgian Hohenzollerns took over and formed personal union. Then in 1657 Duchy of Prussia became soveregin, in 1701 King in Prussia title was established. And then, after some 40-50 years , militarization really became so radical that we can say of state built around army.
Im impatiently waiting for part II now,and i never recall myself this anxious for a history class
So thank you for making it simple, enjoyable and as far as it gets to the truth.
Without any restriction dude give most honest and comprehensive history lesson of all times.
Unbelievable.
Never had one heard the history in such an exciting way . He is so engrossed, lucid , with reasons and details as no one comes near him. There's high drama and high learning.
What a tidal wave of knowledge. And the narration skills to match.
A great lecturer, His passion is so clear when he is lecturing. I was engaged in the lecture til the end and this is my 3rd time hearing it!
Professor Casagranda, In Darija Which Is Moroccan Arabic, The Term Casagranda or Its Meaning Is Often Given To People With Good Heart, Generous and Welcoming, Just So You Know.
Thank You For The Generosity Of Your Courses 🙏.

You are a fantastic teacher that genuinely loves teaching and it really shows
Ooh my fav Historian, just super stoked to watch all of this series, thanks ever so much!!
I say this without hyperbole. Best lecture I’ve ever listened to.
Because he provides background to the facts,not just facts.
Hello Roy. Thank you for all the wonderful lectures. You have friends all over the world. I wish you fast recovery and much warm welcomes to come visit Bosnia Herzegovina.
1:42:30 Our physiological responses to danger are fight, flight, freeze, fawn, or friend. Rather inconsequential in the grand scheme of course, just wanted to put it out there. I’m absolutely loving the lectures, btw. Thanks for providing them for free.
Certainly, you are among the great storytellers, your tangents are more interesting than most.
Thank you for this and keep posting!!
The background that is given to each tedious subject is gold. History is sooo complex and intertwined that every new piece of information could itself be a rabbit hole of information.
I wish you a speedy recovery Prof.
Wish I had a professor like this gentleman who actually has passion about history and preserving real history and culture having a little passion and with the humor you throw in now and then thank you for your time and knowledge it’s gratefully appreciated
the passion and the story telling sklls are amazing. The ideological blinkers don't impress me though
I so excited to watch this new series by this amazing professor. You're amazing sir!
This is single handedly the best lecture I’ve ever listened to! The way he packs so much information in such a concise manner, he helped me connect all the dots. Brilliant! Obsessed 🤩
One of the greatest pros for internet is Dr. Roy Casagranda, i appreciate the Austin school. Thank you
Finished the whole lecture more or less in one setting 😂. Dr. Roy has the power of grabbing attention like no other man I have ever known. Salam from Bangladesh ❤❤
I’m going to watch this video while seating instead of working around my little work shop to give a respect to Dr Roy❤❤I’m with you on this 😁❤Massive Respect!🙏🏻
I find peace in knowing there are more people like myself, obsessed with history of the world wars and their impact on our world. Thank you for sharing this
Is there a book that you would recommend if you wanted to get into history?

i love watching/listening to Dr. Casagranda's lectures
can't wait for part II !
I just a finished a 6 hour documentary on WW 1 and 2,
glad I found more on the topic from this particular dr. He’s very informative.
Always beneficial to watch Dr Roy. Patiently waiting second part and whatever injured Dr Roy I hope you'll be fine soon!
Amazing presentation. The ease of narration and depth of knowledge. Wow. Learnt more about the details than I ever had. Thanks. 🙏🏾
this is phenomenal!
can't wait for Part 2!
I just love how honest he is in his speech. Genuine guy.
Wanna see u speak about salah ad-din part 2.. especially during these days when israel is becoming genocidal
Wow, just wow. This is so rich, apart from the main theme, in every other sentence he touched so many significant events of human history that I have lost count of how many times I searched google & discussion forums to make sense of it. This guy is a genius, Respect 🙏
Thank your for the lecture professor. Waiting for part 2
When you are 45 and haven't had the patience for over 25 yrs to listen to a teacher.. and then comes Professor Roy Casagranda! Brilliant man ☕️👏
Eagerly waiting for part 2...
Samee
This man is just brilliant. I learned so much from him so far ❤️
There is no part 2 yet? I´m becoming addict to this lectures.
Best Historian I have ever met...... God bless you Sir
Except he's got a bunch of details wrong.
When you mentiond the breakdown of the nervouis system of the soilders due to artillery barrage, this remind me of Innocent Civilians in GAZA and those little children observing their hands constantly shivering. 😥
i love how he takes you back into history to actually understand the everyday perspective, sure anyone can just say what happened with some dates and events but he goes the extra mile
My grandfather was fighting 4th and 5th offensive with Tito and partisans in 1943..
My grandfather on the mother side was fighting against them in the same offensive,batlle off Neretva and Sutjeska in Yugoslavia
The other grandfather was in Devil's division off NDH., bloody Balkans
And I was in Sarajevo in Yugoslavia war's 92/95
And I am a historian so just recently founded Your's video classes Roy and for now You are my favorite historian,so❤
Hello to fellow 'historian psycho'😊
Probably the best history teacher in the West. Funny and extremely insightful
This feels like im stealing education,like who do i pay for this? thanks
You could probably donate? I dunno! I agree haha. I've been holed up going on historical deep dives and reading so much it's been awesome !!! I hope you enjoyed the lecture as well, the internet is so awesome and we have so much info available to us crazy these videos don't have more views lol ppl busy looking at vapid and ignorant shit 😅
They are called massive open online classes, or MOOCs I've used Coursera, and Harvard has free classes. You hold a world of knowledge in your hand. All free. Don't feel bad, an educated public is vital. Be a lifelong learner. 🎉
You can pay me, I wouldn't mind!))

I've been following you on TikTok for a few years. I'm glad to have found your youtube!
Oh God, hope you get better the soonest Prof Roy. I’m Syrian and I appreciate the way you talk about Near East.
Brilliant intellect! Every single lecture is great to listen to! Thank you!
First Comment!!!! Prof. Casagranda is back
Eagerly waiting for Part-2 after such a awesome part -1 .
Great story, as always! Minor correction: Deshima is an island in front of Nagasaki, not Hiroshima. Both cities were nuked, so it has no effect to the story.
Fantastic lecture! Thank you for sharing these with the rest of us.
My next 2 hours are planned out. Thanks ❤
Waiting for more lectures. I really enjoy his lectures. Too far between posts, not only for this lecture series, but his lectures in all.
Movie? Nah...2 hours lecture on WWII? Yes please.
You my kind of human ♥️
Casagrande is LEGEND!!Finally the deep economic and cultural breakdown of WWI & WWII !! I waited a long time for this - i had a sense of it from my own studies BUT DAAYUNG Leave it to Professor Roy's supreme flow to bring it all together !! Droppin' bombs literally and figuratively!!
where is the second part 😢
No one is perfect but I enjoy these lectures very much!
20:24 saying america didnt conquer and annex everything is deeply misleading; all they did was refrain from using the words annex and conquer, and hide their actions behind native actors and coups. There should be more emphasis on what it means that their military covers 75% of the world
Dr. casagranda ...
The coolest professor ever ...
We demand the second part .. pls 🙏🏽
your student .. from sudan
This guy's a genius ❤
This guy has so much passion and knowledge about history…I wish I could be him.
Small correction about Japan:
Christianity was not seen as evil but seen as threat because unlike with shinto and buddhist faith, the boss would no longer be Daimyo, Shogun or Emperor but God and perhaps Pope in Europe. Very simimar situation than with Christians early in Roman Empire. Also it was seen as negative influence for warriors as christians would be afraid the desth more as nobody wants to go hell (Which is why introducing buddhism to Samurai class was a big thing earlier)
Japan was not afraid of guns, but guns were essential to win a civil war, So Togukawa shogunate decided to ban guns from anybody else and restrict foreign trade (potential source of the guns). Thus making sure there would be no rebellions, This worked until Meiji restoration
Learning so much about real history and not the fiction we have been taught throughout the years. Love Dr. Roy's lectures, and think i was introduced to him through Tik Tok, yes shocking something educational on Tik Tok.
I have been reading history for 55 years. Never accept any historians take as the "real" history. As Napoleon said: "History is a set of lies agreed upon." I love this professors take on history. But you should read and listen critically. Never accept a narrative just because it is entertaining. But I do think this professor has a very interesting and unique take on history.
