Germans were extremely popular settlers in Medieval Central Eastern and South Eastern Europe as well as early modern Russia because they were very skilled and productive (=taxable!) and usually didn't make their culture anyone else's issue.
Northern Europe as well, heck they pretty much built Sweden.
Love our southern cousins❤

Highly doubt that 😅
At least not if focusing on 19th to 20 th century

about countries with a 200 year history of pretending they invented everything , are the best , and basically the only?
nope, it will not fly.
germany is the origin of the west, for good and also for the bad. What annoys me is that those who build on our shoulders so seldom acknowledge it.
they never give credit, and they adopt an arrogance that is undeserved
poor soul

I am german. And it is kind of odd.
I say: I am glad to be german and I am proud of our past and all the stuff the former germans invented the reaction is always the same. No matter where I am.
The others: You can't say that as a german. You are a nazi.
But when americans say that they are proud no one mentions that they have slain millions of native people. Which live in reserves by the way.
The reserve thing is like the time Hitler was ruling germany. He put Jews in ghettos. But when he did it is a big no no. But when americans do this it is... Normal? I mean... Wtf?
You are right my friend.
Im a German who lived in different countries and even though I’m not a historian I learned that every country has it’s „darker“ parts in history. I was raised with a stamp of shame for being a German. My grandparents told me stories about the end of the war and how it was being raised in that time. It was a horrible part of German history. But that’s it. Thanks to videos like yours and my travels I learned that being German is not just bad. I think we should never forget and honor history. Learn from the good and bad. If we filter all of Germans past through the Second World War, it feels like the bad guys won.
I lived in Germany for a long time and can speak German without an accent. That's why I know the lies they spread to whitewash their own nation. One of the tactics the Germans use is the tactic of pointing with the finger at other nations with the assertion that they also committed terrible crimes. Like this German here, he also tries to whitewash the Germans with his shameless comparison with of Germans with other nations. Quote:...every country has its “darker” parts in history. In fact, this is a widespread tactic in Germany, in order not to make their own Nations history look so criminal and barbaric. The motivation is to spread the lie that Germans are actually equals among equals, nothing special with their history. I have experience with it! That's just a kind of falsification of history that this crimes were equal. But this tactic does not work anyway because there is a colossal difference between the Germans and the other nations. Nothing compares to the crimes of the Nazi nation. Also the number of victims! The crimes of the Nazi nation were unique in world history. The Nazi nation enslaved 20 million and also murdered many of the slave laborers through extremely hard labor and malnutrition. Hundreds of thousands of Polish children were kidnapped for the human breeding program and for slave labor. The Nazi nation also murdered or maimed many people through human experimentation. Germans started in a very short time various wars against various states largely with the aim of conquering the territories and exterminating the population there and enslaving a minority. Pure, insane, megalomaniac and utterly amoral barbarism! The Nazi nation committed various genocides which were partially committed on an industrial scale. They murdered tens of millions of people for racist reasons and for ethnic cleansing. The Nazi nation responsible for the death of some 65 million by the consequences of the war and the various genocides. What is decisive, however, is that they murdered millions of children in the process. That was unique in world history. So this damn completely megalomaniac, mad, criminal, amoral and degenerated Nazi nation cannot be compared to any other nation. Nothing compares to the crimes of the Nazi nation. Also the number of victims! The crimes of the Nazi nation were unique in world history. That was a completely megalomaniac, mad, criminal, amoral and degenerated Nazi nation!
Like the UK with Hong Kong, Germany had until WW1 a autonomous colony in China. From 1898 to 1919 the city Tsingtau belonged to German Kiautschou colony. Germans dont wanted to miss their beer in Tsingtau and build there the Germania brewery wich still exists today under the name Tsingtao. The Tsingtao brewery is currently the largest in the world.
Thank you, Mert, you are a very fair and open minded commentator without prejudices, preconceived notions and a stamped worldview.
What germans of today really hate is, when people of other countries think they can judge over their country, knowing only a little bit about a inglorious period of time, ONLY 12 YEARS!, where they had a blackout, whereas major imperialistic countries like England, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain, Mongolia, etc.
have done crimes against humanity DURING CENTURIES!
And they have never paid for it, they have never regret it, excused for it, made amends! Even though they are so guilty.
It's high time they finally held accountable for all their crimes.
The Germans of today want HONESTY AND JUSTICE, they are fed up with the hypocrisy of dumb badasses which think they can judge about their grandfathers, whilst concealing and suppressing all the atrocities that their own countries had done.
This is in special directed to the warloving USA, that like that crank sort of making profit, by walking over corpses.
Genghis Khan for example killed 40 million...40 MILLION! The Mongols razed entire villages and killed the entire population (women and children alike) for not joining or aiding them And nobody cares...The vikings left a trail of dead bodies with their raids of northern europe and the UK. They slaughtered civilians, nuns and monks for "fun". Again no one cares...Americans using agent orange (chemical weapon) during vietnam war, which caused (and still cuases) harm in vietnam (still-births and disabilities). No one cares...Every nation on earth has blood on their hands and dead bodies in their basement. But only germany is beeing held accountable for theirs...And we are the only ones with enough backbones to admit and feel sorry for our mistakes.
Yayy, Germany!!! 🇩🇪🇩🇪
i was born in germany, raised, and still live here. for the longest time i felt bad being german because of the first half of the 20th century history. i have thought about it a lot, i really struggled with it, but i have come to a conclusion what "being german" is, atleast for me. when i do something voluntarily, i want to do it perfectly and atleast do it right. i like to argue and want to be right, and i mean not talking someone into something but convincing them. for me "being german" is "striving for excellence".
i see how some people with that feeling, with a hint of hubris and narcissm, and without self-restraint, can easily slip into a mindset that enables something like the third reich. its like most things: the extreme form is really bad but the basis has potential to be really good

As a German and a hobby historian, the horrors of the era between 1933 and 1945 was an extension of pre-existing trends, though far from a certainty nor something that only could've happened here. So much of what has happened was modeled after earlier similar events, perpetrated by the Ottomans, the Americans, the Belgians, German colonial adminstrations... The list goes on.
And it should be noted that that's the duality of man, being capable of great works but also great evils. Look at the UK and its colonial legacy, the US and its treatment of Native Americans and African-Americans, Japan and its history. Just because Germany did abhorrent things doesn't negate the good aspects of German history.
the Reich did alot of great works too, however just as the rest of german history, the good things of the Reich are not told. Also the constantly "12 years of mordor" or "exceptionally evil" narrative is just ideological propaganda, because if you truly compare the crimes, america and the soviet union easily hold up, just as well as the british, or pretty much every other country does as well. While Nationalsocialism gassed jews, the Soviets starved 4 million ukrainians YEARS prior already and that really is just a small portion of the violence that came from the soviet union. Not to mention Crimes comitted by other Countrys like the Bengal Famine or Nanking Massacre.
Sprich deutsch du...
Yeah Germany is kinda country ;)
good that u are not a real historian whataboutism at its best
Wenn die Geschichte wenigstens wahr wäre. Die Geschichte wird von den Siegern geschrieben. Die Behauptung, daß es einen Holocaust gab ?
Es gibt genügend Beweise, daß die sogenannten KZ's lediglich Arbeitslager waren. Ernst Zündel, Fred Leuchter und viele andere haben die Beweise erbracht, daß niemand vergast wurde.
Dagegen starben Millionen Deutscher NACH 1945. Allein schon in den Rheinwiesenlagern in denen sie verhungert ,verdurstet und an den Folgen dieser "Behandlung" durch die Amerikaner gestorben sind.
An der Holocaust-Lüge verdienen die Juden noch heute. Und sie können jeden mundtot machen , der es wagt sie zu kritisieren. Dabei begehen sie schon seit Jahren einen Genozid an den Palästinensern. Und dieses Land wurde ihnen von den Briten zugesagt wenn sie es schaffen Amerika dazu zu bewegen in den Krieg einzutreten . Siehe Balfour Declaration.
Churchill ist einer der größten Verbrecher der Geschichte. Siehe die Bombardierung von Dresden.
Es gäbe noch viel mehr zu sagen zu den endlosen Lügen der Geschichte.
typical self hate horror german: no sentence without "the horror": "hey german fellow - tell me about your history" "yeah i am german and a toooootal historian - but i only heard about ww2 - theres nothing before". Dummer links grüner. (green - leftist propagandist)
German settlements, e.g. in Russia would often be complete villages to resettle devastated areas after war or famine and thus be culturally isolated. In the US Germans would mostly be farmers going west, living in again small isolated communities and so be mostly among themselves. This was promoted by the fact than some groups, like the Texas Germans came in organized groups, organized by rich aristocrats, who kept everyone together.
It should also be noted that the German language is one of the central aspects defining Germans, and thus central to German culture.
Just saw a few days ago a video eveybody seems to notice right now: How "Made in Germany" Became a Seal of Quality
Fun fact, as a german i didn't even know that made in germany had this kind of meaning. :)
I like your neutral point of view and appreciate it. It's funny that so many people seem to like it more to learn about other countries, then they're living in.
Da wir in Deutschland lebenden deutschen keinen Wahrheitsgehalt bekommen.
born in the previous mid century I grew up being utterly ashamed of being German. I have been raging against my parents why they didn't do something about it - not realising they have been children and teenagers in that time. But they where silent. They where also silent about that my grandfather very very quietly helped a very few Jews to escape which I found out about decades later. Travelling abroad I strove to speak English accent free in order not to be identifiably German.
Staying in a Johannesburg Hotel I met Israeli businessman (them not knowing I am German) the conversation went to Germany's guilt and reparation. What they said in a nutshell: very few speak about the Holocaust maybe only the old and orthodox ones, there was and is Antisemitism all over the world, actually in centuries past there was the least of it in the German speaking realm thats why so many lived there and Yiddish is so closely related to German . German guilt is a business asset therefore it needs to be kept going.
From extensive reading I found - the racial theory with all the horrible aspects was developed in England and found attentive ears in Germany as well. Concentration camps - developed from the Spanish-Cuban Ten Years' War, to the British Second Boer War and the Philippine-American War finally to Germany as well. How to implement Race segregation followed initially the USA-model for their African citizens.
My point of view: all of the different bits which came to this hellishly efficient head in Germany had their roots somewhere else. It is NOT an inborn German trait. And as far as responsibility for the most dead human beings in the 20th century is concerned - Hitler ranked 3rd. First being Mao, second Stalin. So, to point the finger at Germans makes it so much easier to overlook the own part in diverse atrocities
Und auch der 3.Platz ist falsch. Der Holocaust ist eine der größten Lügen der Geschichte.
Forsche mal nach. Ernst Zündel und Fred Leuchter zum Beispiel.
Auch einer Ursula Haverbeck sollte man unbedingt Gehör schenken.

victors write history not loosers. and we lost. my granddad almost ended up in kz for refusing to greet with heil hitler. that was a shitty time for our ancestors. i never felt shame for what happened tho. it was 40 years before my birth and even 5 before my parents birth. so no. i can't feel shame for it. it's part of our history and shouldn't be forgotten but i refuse to take responsibility or acknowledge any guilt for this. it wasn't my doint. it wasn't my parents doing. and really most people hated what happened that were alive. it was just far too easy to get killed being openly against the regime. so yeah. don't feel sorry for what you aren't responsible for at all.
Most beer breweries in the US were started by German speaking people...the oldest brewery ,still operating , Yuengling (probably Jüngling) was started by the Yuengling, Busch, Anheuser, Coors and on and on.Isenbeck in Argentina, Tsiangtoa in China,Eisenbahn in Brazil......

When I lived in Peru for a few years I visited the German/Austrian colony of Pozuzo in the Oxapampa Province.
German architecture, restaurants and a German brewery can be found there.
They even celebrate the Oktoberfest there each year.
Not too many people spoke German though.
Das zeigt aber in gewisser Weise, dass deutsche kolonisten nicht unbedingt unbeliebt gewesen sind. Aus diesem Grund, wird auch in vielen Ehemaliegen deutsch-afrikanischen kolonien die erinnerung an deutsche kolonial herren positiv hoch gehalten. sklaverei der araber wurde beendet und den einheimischen mit respekt begegnet. deutsche haben viel gutes auf der welt bewirkt, ifrastruktur gefördert und handel begünstiegt. deutsche sprache wurde nie proaktiv einheimischen aufgezwungen. der kriegsgewinner schrieb jedoch später die geschichte neu und im nachteil deutscher. die vielen erfindungen, welche durch gefäschte patente oder gekaufte und gestohlene und von amerikanern geklaut wurde, darüber wird nicht gesprochen. auch nicht, über die vielen guten produktive ideengeber aus den vorständen deutscher unternehmen oder die ingenioere und erfinder, welche nach kriegsende nach russland verschickt wurden. darüber wird auch nicht gesprochen. den aufschwung der deprimierten deutschen bevölkerung konnte man weltweit in den 1970 - 1990 beobachten. mittlerweile wird jedoch ganz mittel-nordwesteuropa von sozialschmarotzern überrannt und die starke wirtschaft wird zerstört. deutschland geht es zur zeit so schlecht wie noch nie und die fleissiegen und gutherzigen menschen werden es nicht schaffen. es gibt zu viele lügen.

How little I know about my home. Thanks for teaching/showing.
thank you for your video and greetings from southwest germany.....thumb up
There are many things about our countries we never learn in school today. If we did, we would love them and take care of them much more. We all have hundreds of generations to look back on, to be proud of their heritage and thankful for their toils that brought us where we are, and thousands upon thousands of generations yet to follow us, for whom we now pave the way. It will do us and our loved ones good to think of that once in a while.

When you‘ve been asked where you‘re from in holidays as a german there is always that answer that they know a famous German - Hitler…
Thanks for sharing. Well, I don‘t especially like the documentary because it focuses too much on migration topics instead of showing what the Germans invented and brought to the world. It‘s so much more to cover! Maybe you‘ll find another video which can show all the great leaps in science, crafts and literature. So many things to talk about.
Johann Philipp Reis was the inventor of the Telefon. Alexander Graham Bell patented it.
Most classical Christmas carols are of German / Austrian origin.
Sandra Bullock speaks fluent German.
I don’t however know whether all claims in this video are true.
The funny thing is, that the anglo saxons who moved to the island and founded England brought their germanic language forming a new dialect "English" of ancient German developing to a new language but is very close to modern German still.,
By your logic modern German is also only a dialect of it. People tend to overgeneralise Germanics with Germans. Both Engllish and German have the same roots, but developed differently. English did not start from German, but Proto-Germanic. Same as German did.
@@Schwachsinnn I never said anything else. You are the one confusing it while reading. I said germanic language/ ancient German, i never said English started from modern day German. And also yes modern German is a dialect (i don't know what you mean by "only"), it's not like there is an original German everyone spoke and is more of a language than the dialects. In every language there were only dialects. It is that at some point (for communication reasons and with the forming of nation states) an official dialect was chosen or created with the help of existing dialects. So is High-German, which is based on Mid-East to High-East dialects.
@@pyrointeam It was not German, but GermanIC, which was spoken back in the day when the Anglo Saxons left and started to develop English. North Sea Germanic, which is a dialect of West Germanic to be specific. Later on the West Germanic "English" was influenced heavily by he North Germanic (which has its roots in Scandinavia) and then by the romanic language French.
@@Schwachsinnn Read carefully please, i said they brought their germanIC language. There is no discussion that i said that. when i refer to ancient german i refer to the group of all germanIC languages. modern German (with all its dialects) developed from Old German (with all its dialects) which developed from ancient german (with all its dialects) which developed mainly from (besides other influences) the indo-germanic languages. There is no such a thing as two languages GermanIC and German, German IS germanic, it developed slowly over time with many influences, you can neither say at this point indo-germanic became germanic or at this point it became german, we are speaking languages here not tribes, nation, states and politics. Changes in that can happen over night, while languages develope slowly and consistently. Nor can you make a noun out of an adjective and declare it something completely different.
What is lost in this video is that many of the people mentioned had a predominantly Jewish identity instead of a German one, even though they came from Germany and spoke German. We have many similarities, but are also very different. You can see it in the language, most of them spoke (and still speak) Yiddish, which is a mixture of Hebrew and German, and I'm able to understand much of it with no issue. The evolution of language that happens along migration is a very interesting topic in general.
As a German, I only now realised after this video how sad it is that we lost so much about our culture. We still do things as we used to but I feel like we aren't as proud of it as we used to be due to all the shame world war two has braught. Since then some time has passed, but even the younger generations nowadays don't enjoy being german most of the time. Videos like this make me wish that someday we can openly be proud without being hated for it. So thank you for this reaction. 🥺💙
So schön gesagt, ich fühl das so komplett genauso. Uns fehlt dadurch eine Menge Identität, was eigentlich was Positives ist für eine Gesellschaft. Nach dem Sommermärchen hatte ich kurz da Gefühl es könnte sich drehen. Hoffe auch dass wieder bessere Zeiten kommen,
And still: We are often only beeing remembered for WW1-2. Even in germany itself...Stuff like this is never taught in german history lessons, we only get "Germans=bad" hammered into our heads...
Also Thailands biggest beer brand Tiger Bräu has German founders. But what is interesting, is the chart he used here, showing Netherlands, Belgium and Germany shows the borders like 1937, but using The spelling of local city names like before WW 1, Like Cassel, wight is Kassel for over 100 years now and there is even Elberfeld, which was in the 1900s a city of knife manufactures, and machine construction, and the Birth Place of Karl Marx. And Elberfeld is now a part of the City of Wuppertal , i think for over 100 years already, and never to be found on German maps. Then there are Braunschweig and Köln named with the english "translation " Brunswick and Cologne. What a mess of a chart, mixing up centuries, decades, names and languages and borders all at once.

GER from a geopolitical standpoint had to be extinguished cause they threatened the world dominance of the Anglosaxon ruling class. Since 200 years the Brit rulers are after GER reaching so far that they were the first supporters of Hitler (see Rhodes circle) the handler was Mr Hanfstaengl. The Brits rightfully concluded that a irrational nationalist movement would drive GER into the abyss and that happened. GER today is a vassal of the USA going so far that it's us backed administrators keep quiet when a whole pipeline is eradicated by the USA.
You may check out this GER sources:
Thorsten Schulte
Wolfgang Effenberger
In Britain there is a far more honest discussion amongst historians and many have symphaties and also a bit of guilt of what the support of the British Rhodes circle brought into existence.
And pls don't feel guilty. The GER pop had the least power to do smth against this operation which was produced by ruthless elites inside GER like Krupp and outside like Rhodes.

As a German, I think we often feel like we are not allowed to be proud of any part of our history. Or that we don't allow it ourselves out of fear it might be interpreted as national socialism.
As to your question regarding integration, there was and still is a hugeeeeeeeeeeeeee difference, needing to be taken into account first and foremost. Although they have often retained at least part of their culture too, they have always learnt he local language, rules laws and respected them. It was therefore never a case of Germans presenting themselves as people who could be rejected through racism, based on their refusal to integrate. They've always integrated.
German emigrants did not stay somewhere they were not welcome to and they did not arrive there illegally. When wars forced them to leave their homes, they were genuine asylum seekers and were willing to go back home, or move on elsewhere, if unwanted or they were allowed back home again. Again, that's rather different to today's African and middle Eastern migrants to Europe. And for the German accepted that fact, and the consequences it presented, they've always worked hard, not only at integrating themselves but worked hard full stop, so as never to be perceived as a burden by citizens, and instead be shown as an asset to the country. Lazy and mean people would be racists against them, but against such matters, what can one do?
Presenting German language newspapers as "proof" of a refusal to give up their culture for a new one is a profound error, not only of judgement bur of historical and anthropological facts. For centuries, German tribes literacy for all and the understanding of the complexity of the German language concepts at the top of their priorities. After all, the French started to have to go to school and learn at least the basics of reading, writing and mathematics only when Charlemagne came to power and he was a German, with a very Germanic attitude to labour and knowledge, respect and law. The French have tried to avoid school for centuries afterwards, and it is only with it becoming more heavily fined, that parents stopped preventing their children from attending school (even if still taking them out of school on many days 'to help with the business, the farm, their siblings,...) And it is due to this that we have had many more thinkers of some merit and, by a bizarre twist,, the luminaries which lead to the idea of a French Revolution, which in turn destroyed all the lights and intellectual thought processes.
Back to the German newspapers abroad though. What Sowell forgets to take into account is that at that time, few people outside the German migrants could read well enough to even see a point in buying a newspaper when times were rough. Many areas did not have a press, and that was unthinkable to the Germans so they've build or imported their own. And so printed papers of intellectual interest to them, but not only to them. Many locals and other migrants with an intellectual mind enjoyed reading them. The German press were open to other ethnic groups wanting to print their own papers. And if most of the time what other groups printed was tabloids, this isn't to be blamed on the Germans but can also further explain why they've held on to their own papers and why often enough there wasn't any real newspapers but the German one in some new lands or in rural areas of more ancient countries.
Also, these newspapers served as a link with home at first, by recording who was there, who got married, who was born, who died and who became something important. Should their homelands be able to welcome them back some day, it would be possible to offer documentation as to who still qualified as of German descent and ensure nobody was left behind. But it also served as an integration tool , by addressing matters Germans arriving to the land would have to attend to or problems they would be faced with when moving to this land. German efficiency. Other migrants soon realized the importance of these newspapers and would read them or have them translated for them. Thus integrating other migrants too.
And if the newspaper reminded German emigrants of recipes and celebration from home, this was not a refusal to integrate, but often a religious matter as well as a social economics class of sorts. And if locals and other foreigners from this learnt about dishes or celebrations they had never heard of until then and discovered they enjoyed Bretzel and sausages or Pflaumenkuchen.... then it led industrious Germans to the idea of opening a German Cuisine restaurant for locals and foreigners, instead of the itinerant kitchen they otherwise had to provide food for workers wherever the work took them. And that is how some villages began to look German. You went for the food, you joined the church. On that latter matter, one must remember that Germans had both Catholics and Protestants in great numbers. And so, it would be very rare for a German contingent not to have a big community of either one of the other, when not of both. And being Germans, they'd make certain that a church of some kind be properly build from early on. Even if only a small one, it would be BUILD, and not a meeting around a wine barrel at the back of some house, as for many other migrants. This would attract other foreigners of the same faith, and the church would then get enough money or artisans to be decorated like they'd have been in Europe. Which, in turn, would dictate surrounding buildings to follow that style, and so... like you have Dutch or French or Italian villages in the USA, you would have German villages in South America.
To today's locals, be they of Germanic or other origin, the German cakes baked there would now be part of the local culture and not thought of as Germans per say. And this isn't by a refusal to integrate themselves but for they've filled a gap through their efficiency and clear thinking, organizational skills and hard labour, at a time when locally there was a need for someone to improve the conditions of the inhabitants.
One place I would say is different is one particular small village in Argentina. But that is a totally different story and is a mixture of descendants from Germans and Jews having worked for the Nazi regime and Jews and Argentinians having supported the Peron regime. So not really people wishing to integrate and work hard and not that many really are Germans.
Germans want quality, and try it in the scd. ww when they overcome all other races because the german race should be the most perfect race. Sometimes it's not good to be perfect or wanted to be it. Sometimes it's ok if it's enough. Maybe more people should think so and told them self that enough is ok and more we don't need.
You know that this will be good the moment you see Thomas Sowell in the title. 😀

As a German, I can tell you that the Germans also gave the world baseness and arbitrariness, and above all one another - I know what I'm talking about. I enjoy every moment dealing with British, Swiss or American people, I love these people. Why hasn't so much atrocities emanated from these nations? I no longer wonder. ❤ 🇬🇧 🇨🇭 🇺🇸
Swiss is the bank of dictators, British Empire enslaved half of the world..so what are you talking about
Rest assured, a lot of atrocities were committed by the US and Australia, too. Do you know what happened to the Aborigines? Did you know that basically the whole Aboriginal population of Tasmania was massacred? This is just one example of many.

When I came to Thailand, Phitsanulok in the north of Thailand to be precise, I was struck by the architecture of the train station. It looked so familiar. After a Google search, I found out that the architect was indeed German, Karl Döring, who built it around 1920.
Many Germans nowadays demand foreigners integrate into German culture completely and get rid of their own roots. This video shows that this was not always the way Germans themselves behaved outside of the borders. Let people be proud of their native customs and culture.
12:37 That's a good point. Of course I can only speak for myself, but I identify more with the Ruhrgebiet (Ruhr-area) where I was born. Patriotism, identification and pride are today only used by right wing, right extremists and fascists... unfortunately, as they define these words in an ignorant and xenophobic way.
2:25 Who wants to live in the Balkan when you can live in Germany?🤣🤣🤣🤣
Rather than an "aboration" I would look at germany like a person
The Nazi time represents an aspect of Germany feelings that is par for the course BUT, and this is the important bit, it is a very small part. A part, that germany is very aware of by now, is not good and a part that is actively been tried to avoid in the future and worked on (like a person that went to jail and vowed to become better once they are out).
I'm very sceptical of Thomas Sowell and everytime people make videos about his stuff or he talks about something it's some clickbaity "THEY DON'T WANT YOU TO KNOW THIS" and then it's just something a lot of people already know, it's not that much of a deal or it is just incorrect or completely out of context. Like the main topic I see people talk about him is some "This is what they will not tell you about slavery!" and then it's just the information that different African ethnicities had enslaved each other before white people came and white people bought slaves from African slave traders and stuff like that. Like yeah, that's not something historians try to hide from you. And no, it doesn't change anything about the transatlantic slave trade or the history of racism against black people. But I guess people like to pretend they know some secret knowledge their ideological enemies don't want to recognize so they can feel smart about themselves. I think he also wrote something in the same spirit about the fact that the Democrats were originally the pro-slavery party. Like... yeah, that's known. Without any historical context that may look like a big gotcha, but it's really not.
Germany needs a Renaissance
13:18 I think many people set the difference between german immigrants and immigrants from the middle east because of the status they have around the world as war deprived and humiliated compared to germans back in the day which brought new things to the country that they've openly accepted because they liked them. But in total I dont think that much has changed over time with the view on immigrants.
"German is a language thats canturys old..."...than comes straight to 1939 :D
6:40 look at the list of german inventions. And why do you think the mericans went to the moon? Paperclip
We gotta saying here Machs richtig oder gar nicht
Do it right or don't do it at all
The language point is, in my eyes, quite useless maybe wrong. Language is a continuum, not only over space to naturally over time as well. There is continuous evolution taking part spreading from "one" point or another. The marking of Old-High-German having become Middle-High-German is completely arbitrary. There is no gathering/thing of people within "Germany", which did not exist than anyway, where people decided that they wanted to pronounce some words differently all and all at once, no Caesura.
Short period of taint? We had a lot more of genocide in our past even if that is less popular
Germans Settelt to England and develop English (Angelsachsen) 😜
I´m not completly sure but after the first WorldWar there was a "degermanification" and which lead to the decline of the German Language and culture in other countries (Like for example the Usa)
You are right. Especially in the US a lot of German families changed their names into English equivalents or English sounding names,´to avoid superstition and to distinctly seperate themselves from German (Germanies) politics.
it was a german colonie thats why tsingtao is german made ....
The smallest colony in the world, more one harbor and a little free trade zone. Monaco is huge compared to Tsingtao. The story about China being a victim of European imperialism is more of a CCP propaganda story. Hong Kong and Macau were uninhabited Rocks and Tsingtao was 500 m x 2000 m. The Chinese killing the German ambassador and taking 2000 Europeans hostage in the "55 days of Peking" was the catalyst of the Europeans establishing outposts close to mainland china. To call these outpost colonies dismisses the horror of colonization other countries had to suffer.
P.S. china started all opium wars by attacking Europeans with far superior numbers, and the Europeans would have loved to sell the Chinese other things than opium. The trade imbalance between China and Europe had crippled the European economy. Most silver in the world was in China at the time. Smuggling opium was the only way to get some of the silver back.
There wasn't enough silver left to produce dollar and pound at the time because of the one way trade with china.
Violently enforced trade imbalances are kind of an aggressive act.
China seems not to learn from its mistakes of the past, mainly because they created that mythos about the "unequal treaties". In reality, these "unequal treaties" were more of an equalizing of the former unequal trade.

While living in Siberia for some years as a German a funny thing happened. I heard a lot of high praise for Germans building houses, being more orderly, etc. There was also a rumor about small "German" towns in the Altai. To be honest I mostly put that down on sweet talk and them trying to be flattering.
Then after two years being on a business trip I came to a place and there was a house named "pharmacy ", "townhall", the fences were standing straight!
I couldn't believe my eyes. It was very touching to see that after literally houndreds of years regardless to being deported by Stalin to the middle of Siberia in the forties the German-ness was still so obvious.
Many ethnic Germans from the Altai came back to Germany after the fall of the Wall. Many have settled here in Bernau near Berlin. So we hired a few Russia-Germans in our company. There was a funny situation when my old man had a lively chat with Waldemar (newly hired) during a company party:
Waldemar, where are you from?
From Barnaul.
I know, but from where in Russia?
Barnaul!
I know......we all live here in Bernau..but where in Russia?
BARNAUL!!!
Why am I actually telling this? Oh yes.....Photos from Waldemar. That's right, the houses looked original like they did here in Bernau 100 years ago. Flowers in the front yard, fences straight, everything freshly painted. Just like you said....:)
Yes, the Germans have given so much to the world. 2 world wars! With 100 million dead in Europe. Most of them murdered in genocides by this disgusting nation. Yes, this completely megalomaniac, mad, felonious, amoral and degenerated Nazi nation really gave the world a lot of very evil things. Like the SS, NSDAP, Nazism, SA, Hitler Youth, death camps, gas chambers, wars of extermination, genocides, massacres, Ethnic cleansing, collective expulsions, tortures, General Plan East for the genocide against all Slavic nations, Romani genocide, Holocaust genocide against the Jews, murder of millions through starvation, Enslavement of millions, Abduction of hundreds of thousands of children for Germanization, cruel human experimentation, terror bombing of cities, book burnings, intentional destruction of cultural heritage of other nations, art looting, deliberate destruction of cities. I could go on presenting the list of German gifts to humanity for a very long time. Although these are only the gifts of one era, because in the Kaiser era there were already genocides in West and East Africa at the beginning of the 20th century and they also criminally waged the First World War, including massacres against civilians by the German army in Belgium and Poland, and this criminal army also deliberately destroyed cities as early as the First World War. Yes, these are all wonderful gifts from the Germans to humanity. We should all be grateful for that.
The whole "everything leads up to Hitler" perception is actually it's own debate among German historians called the "Historian's debate" (Historikerstreit) or more precise "the special way (to national unity) debate" (die Sonderweg Debatte).
Having studied history in Frankfurt for almost ten years I'd say the whole idea is an inverted obsession the immediate post-war generation of German historians of Germany beeing "special" and thus perversely continuing the NSDAP idea of Germany beeing exceptional just in this case beeing Mordor for twelve years... "exceptionally evil" but exceptional.
I feel it's idiotic and has echoes of a gleefull, almost sexual, masochistic obsession with shame - "spank me hard oh history!"🙄.
But maybe that's just me, I also feel that Prussia was grossly and unfairly mistreated after the War... but then I am of Prussian- Huguenot descend... 😂

Very well observed, that obsession of large parts of the first generation of post-war German historians (as well as many social- and political scientists, they featured just a little less prominent in the eye of the general public) to make the Sonderweg-theory happen, and two successive generations of their doctoral students trying to preserve the legacy of the (mostly) men who educated them. Indeed a rather perverse inversion of the Nazi/Völkisch obsession with German(ic) racial excemptionalism. Another factor that should not be underestimated is guilt, though: if the descent into National Socialism was all but inevitable, because it was predetermined and set in motion by the actions of several generations of our ancestors for the last several hundred years, what could those those that lived through National Socialism have done to prevent it? Nothing! It was predetermined! No personal responsibility or culpability (aside from the very upper echelons of the Party and the Wehrmacht, who were all conveniently dead or locked away in Spandau by the Allies) to contemplate for the lucky ones who were now building shiny new upper-middle-class academic lives in the new Federal Republic. Especially not for erstwhile ardent little Hitler Youth members the likes of Hans-Ulrich (Wehler) and Jürgen (Habermas)...
A prime example of those kinds of people is Fritz Fischer, with his absurdly myopic, nowadays thankfully utterly discredited Fischer Thesis, patron saint of everyone claiming "if Martin Luther didn't already directly cause the 'Evil Germany' of Hitler, it certainly was Kaiser Wilhelm!": Fischer, who started out as a theologist(!) before switching disciplines, and joined the SA in 1933 and the Nazi Party in 1937, directly profited in the form of career advancement from the Nazi's ban of Jewish scholars and lecturers from academia. An utterly detestable hypocrite, who unfortunately received way too little flak for his 40-year-career of lickspittle opportunism during his lifetime. On the other hand - who was supposed to deal that out, when many of his contemporaries often had to contend with broadly similar biographies as well.

Refrigerators
In 1876, the German engineer and entrepreneur Carl von Linde developed the Linde process, which is fundamental to science and technology, as a purely physical cooling process. His invention made it possible to improve the reliability of the compressor and the entire refrigeration machine so that they became suitable for industrial use. Before that, there were only refrigerators in which blocks of ice from frozen rivers and lakes were stored over the winter, which were then used for cooling in summer... So, are there refrigerators in Germany? Yes, the world's first industrial refrigerators were invented right here...as was so much else.
Or Haber and Bosch

2:30 its true. My father is a german from the city Akkerman, Basarabia, Russia from the Black Sea. Today its called Bilhorod-Dnistrowskyj an area between Ukrain and Moldavia. They were resettled to Poland during the war and had to flee from there to Germany. Those who failed were then resettled by the Russians to Kazakhstan. In their USSR identity card was written: Citizenship: USSR; Nationality: German.
In Germany they called Russland Deutsche (Russia germans).
an today they suck putlers dick. they arent real germans.
Amerigo Vespucci (9 Mar. 1451 to 22 Feb. 1512) -- an Italian merchant, navigator and explorer from the Republic of Florence -- charted large parts of the east coast of South America. In 1507, German cartographer Martin Waldseemüller named the double continent of America after him.

Qingdao brewery was founded by Germans in 1903. Qingdao was a german colony from 1898 to 1914. The City Center of Qingdao looks like a City in Germany. Same houses like here in Germany.

I find German history incredibly fascinating because the Germans and Germany were always there, but at the same time not and always different like a shapeshifter.
Stupid oversimplified:

Well, as you saw, the Germans changed the world with their inventions many times. Where we would be today without the German art of thinking.
Germany the land of poets and thinkers - that's how it was known (Actually)
The problem is that many Germans are not proud of their country and blood, unfortunately also because they were brought up that way. Because if you say anything to that effect, you will be called a Nazi. The problem is that many people don't have the right deep historical knowledge that people need to understand the world and and that only Hitler himself and his party were Nazis. Almost no German was a Nazi during the Nazi era. Also, any historian will tell you that the Allies, created Nazi Germany and WWII because of the unfair Versailles Treaty. Germans were so depressed that it is unimaginable for us. They were seen as evil around the world as they were blamed for everything in World War I. And when you have 3 kids at home, no job, money is worthless and no food and water you will follow anyone who fixes it. Because that's what the Nazis did in the beginning - they fixed everything and gave the Germans hope again. No German at the time could have known that Hitler was so crazy.
It's not as easy as we always think. Even in the Wehrmacht, only a few liked the Nazis. They were German soldiers dying for the country. the general German soldier, like my grandfather, had nothing to do with the Nazis and the Holocaust. You must consider this one army fought against the rest of the world. And if we are honest: what kind of "peace" could the general German soldier expect? What could have they expect after all the Nazi crimes and everyone thought that all Germans were evil Nazis. What "Peace" could they expect. These soldiers fought for their lives and German people against a planet. If even many of Hitler's own generals like Rommel (legend) or Stauffenberg knew that he was not quite right in the head.. Then the normal people knew that even more. Many were manipulated and could do nothing about it. The Nazis were a small parasite not the Germans. You can imagine the Nazis like a natural dark Parasite Rising from the suffering of the Germans. And the 'Problem' is that Germans are People who have a very special work and perfectionism mentality. That's not a weak enemy. Calling all German soldiers Nazis is like calling all American soldiers democrats because they were in power.
We should be prouder of ourselves, after all, Germany has repeatedly fought against the entire world, one time under a bad regime. We made this modern world possible and maintain a reputation for perfection and quality. The hard-working German with perfection in his blood! Or rather, we once had this reputation. Today there is no longer a country of poets and thinkers. We are still occupied by the USA. And people are manipulated and have no prospects. A dark age.
What I also find very interesting is that the Germanic people spread very far and are therefore the ancestors of many other people. Therefore, historians are not entirely sure how German the Germanic peoples were, but since they were the first to speak German and also created English, they were already German. In addition, the Germans were also the ancestors of the Vikings means Germanic mythology is almost identical to Norse mythology. Actually the same.
Thanks for listening 🥂
I would be in favor of not only teaching the Americans that Germany is the bad guy and that they really deal with it.
Most of the settlers who came to America at that time were German. Over 40 million. That's why the Americans have so many German names. That's why the Americans love German culture and are surrounded by it, but don't want to admit it. Every "your" fairy tale was recorded and reinvented by the Brothers Grimm, they were German. But the Americans didn't understand the original meaning behind the brutal children's fairy tales and weakened them. That shows you how stupid most of them actually are over there. It was always about raising children. If they have something on their mind and are afraid of it, they remember it. It also hardened the children. Even though we no longer live in times when war is normal, the world hasn't gotten any easier..
But that's why we're talking about Germany, the land of poets and thinkers, and not America. The Americans would be nothing without the German thinkers and craftsmen. The Germans always had these brilliant ideas.. Which makes me doubt whether they are actually all the same. Almost every big ami company or rich family comes from Germans. If you look at history and see that wherever the Germans went, something big happened. The world was then populated by German emigrants. But since there was no unified Germany or Germany in general at the time, there were only German states or kingdoms such as Austria, Bavaria, Switzerland. There was no national immigration. Just like in America. But something big was still happening everywhere Germans were going. All over the world I see people talking about German books and poems and the culture that shaped them as children. Tyll Ulenspiegel is an example.
I find it very interesting. We should talk about it and explain it.
You are the first one who make it clear. So many humans have only learned to limiting us to the third Reich. Chapeau. Thank you ❤️☺️

To my knowledge, while keeping their own language alive, German immigrants usually spoke the language of their respective host nations and respected their culture and customs. That's not what we're seeing today.
Exactly….
I was friends with a Greek girl whose parents had come as guest workers during the 60‘s…she was in the best sort of German school (Gymnasium) with me, while her much older brother had just chosen the school based on where all his other immigrant friends were going after elementary which happened to be the lowest tier German school (Hauptschule), because his parents didn‘t know the difference and he came to greatly resent his parents and himself for that decision.
Both spoke accentless German while at home everything was Greek…it was quite strange visiting because it was almost always instant culture shock like you never get going to Greece as a tourist….I loved it.
No one complains about immigrants keeping alive their own customs and culture, but not knowing the language and understanding societal rules in this case greatly disadvantaged their older child, who became an electric, while Maria became a doctor.
Integration is paramount, but I think this was never the issue for German settlers, we still learn two or more languages in school, even though one might argue that Latin should be exchanged for Spanish at this point in time.
Well , the conditions in the Peace Treaty of Versailles after Germany surrendered in the 1 st World War layed the ground for the 2 nd one . The citizens of Germany suffered under the high reparations the must pay to the Winner Countrys , there was a Hyperinflation , an several year long economic recession , they wanted a strong Men , a strong leader and the one which promised an end to all of this was someone from outside Germany , a man called Hitler from Austria ..... , the rest is History . Its like with Brexit , there was someone who promised everything gets better after the UK leaves the EU and 52 % of Voters believed him and is it now better ? I dont think so ...
not to forgett the ocupied rheinland by france where germans died because of the french
And you musn't forget:
In the last free votes, where even was forgery, The NsDAP got not even 35%.
It's definetly the latter. The lead-up to WW1, the revolt of the Kriegsmarine in Kiel, the subsequent 'abdication' of the Kaiser and the Formation of the Weimar Republic, already on the cusp of a Civil War at it's inception and paired with the humiliation at Versailles with the EXCLUSIVE moral fault to the war (like litterally, the fault to a War that had many fathers was laid solely upon the conscience of the german people) and with the follow of deprivations, excesses and tumultous times of the Roaring 20s all of which lead to the rise of Nazism with all it's terrible rammifications in the time from 1933 to 1945.
It was a pretty wild rollercoaster ride alright?
This is why I am so proud to have been to Walhalla in Regensburg, 2k of Germanic history. It makes you think, how far the culture I was brought up in has come, globally. xD
der adulf guy was austrian btw.
yes but he started his carrier in Germany 😉 like Stalin was a Georgian but would ever remain as the bad Russian .
@@bankimmun8621 Well, Austria was also a fascist dictatorship since 1933. First, Engelbert Dollfuß was the "Führer", after his coup d etat. After his violent death it was Kurt Schuschnigg, who closely followed the Italian "Duce" Benito Mussolini, who guaranteed the continued existence of a separate Austria. As Mussolini became more and more aligned with Hitler, Austria's independence was over and Hitler was able to annex the country to the great approval of the Austrian population.
@@wolsch3435 i know! Try to make a joke
@@bankimmun8621 John Churchill made Hitler an Austrian. Braunau am Inn was a Bavarian Town till Winston Churchill's ancestor beat the Bavarians in the Battle of Bledheim in the war of the Austrian succession. In the Peace treaty the Boarder was moved to the other side of Braunau, but it was still a Bavarian Town, just on the Austrian side of the boarder.
Austrians are German 🧐
Wenn die deutsche seele erstmal wieder versteht wer sie wirklich ist ,die zeit kommt immer näher wo die deutsche seele wieder deutsch ist und voller stolz auf sein Land ! Ich bin stolz deutsche zu sein ! Die "dunkle" Vergangenheit darf sich niemals wiederholen ,allerdings was danach bis heute mit den deutschen gemacht wurde auch nicht ! Wir sind alle eins ,alle Menschen,egal aus welchem Land wir sind !
Es erfreut einen jeden Deutschen, dass Mert eine so aufschlussreiche Sammlung deutscher Taten, hier gesammelt von Thomas Sowell, ins Netz stellt. Während wir Deutschen immer noch glauben, wir müssten uns kleinreden, kleinmachen, kleinkriegen (lassen), damit uns die anderen Länder ein bißchen mögen, wird hier gezeigt, dass wir durchaus ein ehrenwerter Teil der Erdenbevölkerung sind, die anderen immer gerne was gegönnt, gegeben, ja geschenkt haben.
sus
Wenn man die besten Beispiele nimmt, sieht auch Nordkorea aus wie das beste Land der Welt. Ich kann verstehen , dass viele Länder uns vorsichtig mit uns sind, nachdem wir 2 Weltkriege vom Zaun gerissen haben, bei denen zusammen 77 Millionen Menschen gestorben sind. Ich glaube die Menschheit wäre auch schon wesentlich weiter, wären die Deutschen damals nicht so stolz , auf ihr Land gewesen, also fang jetzt nicht wieder damit an
Sefton Delmer lesen bzw sich damit befassen was der so getrieben hat,
die Kriegsproaganda endete keinesfalls mit der D niederlage. das hat nachwirkungen bis heute
German design language has a strong influence on the modern world. For example, the iPhone, or the entire design of Apple goes back to simplicity and efficiency of Bauhaus design. Dieter Rams was the mentor of many of today's successful designers.
Don't forget Walter Gropius.
Rams is the Goat of design
It's really funny, I'm from germany and I didn't know the most of these things. It's interesting to see something that you won't get teached in german school, so there isn't something special i didn't know. I just know that the Kindergarden is also an german invention. Also a lot of philosophers and scientists (like Einstein, Luther, Beethoven, johan Gottlieb) are from germany and a part of the alchemy have his roots in germany. I also have to say thanks, it often feels like you will called "nazi" after you told someone that you are from germany. Have a nice day everyone
weltkrieg ging auch nicht von deutschland aus sondern england, man muss sich nur mal die zeitungsartikel von damals anschauen und die reden der politiker.

I (53) and German really grew up feeling very very very ashamed for my ancestors. So much shame, you cannot make it good anymore. Sad, isn't it?😢
As a German, I am sad to see what we have become a synonym for today: 'legalized Korruption', Failed budgetplanning, imkompetent politicians and insane laws. As well as forcing depts on other countries all the while draining the "common working class people" of everything they still "own".
"Runs like a german train schedule" is still pretty accurate. Just the meaning did a "360° turn" (A.Baerbock) - meaning a 180 for the rest of the world.
A pretty sad but equally accurate assessment of the current day situation.
atm we are just famous for destroying ourself and our economics, also 23 natiosn put is as TOO DANGEROUS TO VISIT . yep g ermans is just a name left from the past, the land will be done till 2040 and i kinda think its good like that, germans not deserve any better if they v oting so retarded parties and are so easy to manipulate over their state media which is essentially just state propaganda like under hitler or stalin
Es ist mit worten nicht zu erklären was aus dem Land der Dichter und Denker geworden ist...
i think there is a difference between being integrated and keeping up language and tradition and on the other side keeping it and refuse to integrate. most countries back then profited from german immigration. most immigrants today (from a german perspective) bring no benefit to the country, they are more likely seen as cost factors and trouble makers. but this is no matter of times we live in. italians and asians are well integrated even today in germany. there are zivilizations that fit and others that dont fit together.
Just some thoughts to your opening question: what we have learned and experienced together in the last 3 years, that all countries, people and cultures can drift from enlightened free countries to fascistoid tyranny in a matter of weeks. Have we learned from German history? History does not repeat itself, it rhymes! I am still shocked by the fact how easy it is to exclude and tyrannize people....
As a german, it is heartwarming to see, that lots of ppl. from outside germany, appreciate our old culture and influence. While our own politicians destroys everything. Germans today live in a invisible golden cage. You're not allowed to say you're proud, bc than you're a nazi. These ppl. do everything to make the germans fall silent. That's why I say, maybe after 3 or 4 generations nothing to be proud of is left over. Culture dies, language dies, respecful human beeing dies, quality dies, good doctors well they don't all die but lot's of them left the sinking ship. I can tell by watching this downward spiral for about more or less 30 years now. Tbh most germans I know aren't even able to talk and write correctly in their main language... Btw. sorry for my english, I guess it's a bad quality example as well.
I must agree with you, sadly...Over half of german 9th grade students doesnt speak or write proper german. Our politicians work against us and silences (calls you a nazi or conspiracy theorist) us if we dont agree or share their opinion. Media is scaremongering and based/ not independend (and likes some "gifts" from politicians). Nepotism, brib...uh "Lobbyism" and elitism are common. Germany is basicaly a oligarchy (Rich/ Powerful minority ruling). I love democracy...The last good politician was Helmuth Schmidt. Berlin nowadays is just the biggest asylum (or clown show)...
