Absolutely loved this. Looking forward to more book reviews man, especially, you already know, "The Making of the Atomic Bomb" ;) I also appreciated that you weren't scared to admit that the book challenged some of your past beliefs. I'll check out the book and probably add it to my endlessly growing book pile. Didn't realize you passed 100 subs! Congrats man, you definitely deserve them. One one criticism: I like the idea of using different colors per subjects, just not a fan of some of the colors you use especially when they are "flashy" like the one of this video. I recommend checking out 'flat colors'.
Thanks, this one was a bit more energetic than the previous videos! The Making of the Atomic Bomb is on the reading list for 2019, so be prepared ;). The majority of videos will still surround history though. About the colours; I ran out of flat ones! Green for culture, blue for politics, parchment for history and red for biographies. I'll play around a bit though, as the flashy colours irk me as well. Then again, this probably was an exception (just like the black thumbnail for the biblioclasm video). And thank you very much for the reply! Take care and speak to you soon. Wondering what 2019 has in store for our channels.
@@HoH Yes, it definitely was. Your hand movement was exponentially greater haha I enjoyed it man. And The Making of the Atomic Bomb is definitely a historic book. You'll see. And I understand, but I guess different shades of flat colors? Anyway, I hope you find out because flashy colors irks me too. I am the least unflashy person possible. Take care too man and see you soon.
Reading this at the moment. Nice synopsis. This is very dense history but the Great War requires it, as so many parties were involved, with so many influences, ambitions, paranoias and misinterpretations. My overriding conclusion was that war could have been avoided over this particular flashpoint but that it was ultimately inevitable given the imperialist, interventionist and militant era that it unfolded in and the constantly shifting balances of power. It was an unsustainable geopolitical framework which was never rectified post war, in turn leading to the inevitability of World War Two (irrespective of the unambiguous question of who the aggressor was in the latter global war).
(4:07) The German Case is more complex. The Kakanian Case is rather more special, for the complex balance between "Austria" and "Hungary", since 1867. The Russian Empire can be called an administrative absolute monarchy. The strong factions within the Russian "cabinet" controlled tsar Nicolas II.
I think you'll be happy to hear that I finally got my hands on a book about the Finnish civil war to read these weeks! I'll make a video about it once I finish the book. An early happy new year to you, thanks for the comment and continued support.
Thank you so much for the quality of your work so far. I hope that your channel will grow. Also that’s really cool about the Finnish Civil War book. I hope you have an amazing New Year!
I will dare answer you, Shayan: the sophisticated overview is his main quality. On the other hand, maybe the writer is more pro-Germany than I can swallow...
I think i read the book a bit before your video, but i can support this, i think it is a great book. If you are interested in something even less known in the greater public about WW1, the Book Isonzo by John Schindler i can recommend.
@@HoH No problem! But be aware, the book is really expensive! I was searching for it, after watching a little speach by the author on YT and basically bought it immediately because in the book store near to me it did cost half the price Amazon wanted for it. I paid 79€. (maybe because it is in a "foreign language".) My personal interest in it grew because the Italian front in WW1 is near, or at least, the nearest one to my home (in geographical terms: around 2 hours drive i think,) and we didn't learn that much about it in school (other than "our ancestors caused WW1, were the bad guys, drew germany into it, lost" and the major other participants). Also because of conscription i did get a bit of winter mountain infantery training (which is hard enough with kind of modern equipment) and reading what they (both sides) had to endure and where and also what they managed to do was fascinating and sad at the same time. And the Battle of Narvik is interesting to me because from what i was able to research, it seems that my grandfather took part there as a "Gebirgspionier" (basically mountain engineering troops). I was 8 when he died, so no real chance to ask him about this topic.
Not Surprised You have this one . Way to Go ; @ HoH . !

Great review!

grand masterpiece
I've watched countless videos on your channel, fun to see you swing by.
(4:07) The German Case is more complex. The Kakanian Case is rather more special, for the complex balance between "Austria" and "Hungary", since 1867.
The Russian Empire can be called an administrative absolute monarchy. The strong factions within the Russian "cabinet" controlled tsar Nicolas II.
A really complex and confusing situation, that sounds like a like to me!
I think you'll be happy to hear that I finally got my hands on a book about the Finnish civil war to read these weeks! I'll make a video about it once I finish the book. An early happy new year to you, thanks for the comment and continued support.

In your opinion what are the strength and weakness of this book?

You mentioned the land battle of Narvik on my other video, but this is something I definitely want to read first! Thanks for the great suggestion

(3:32) Arendt was right: "The banality of evil".
