One of the most attractive points of Sun's land reform program was how it would assess and tax lands, and its simplicity in application for a country the size of China can not be understated. Land holders would be allowed to assess the value of their own land and pay taxes according to their own assessment, but the government would be permitted to buy the land at the assessed value for redistribution to the peasants -- meaning that if the land owner self-assessed too low to pay fewer taxes he risked losing the land, but if self-assessed too high he would end up paying more in taxes.
Georgism forever. All countries need a land value tax! It can take out the incentive for restrictive zoning laws and is a great extra source of revenue. You could either fund more programs or cut income taxes. It's just a great system.
@@dellaboca9737 Danish king while taxing ships through Copenhagen introduced a similar tax. As many ships were going through the officials could not assess the goods. He asked the ship owners to write the value of the goods in their ship. They will pay 5% tax on it. But randomly he will offer to buy the goods at the price they self valued. This made them value their goods correctly.

However, i believe we will definately be a real morden and united one when people can withhold government power.
@@acaperic359 Back in Sun Yat-Sen, it wasn't modern and definitely starting to divide. I mean, my great-grandfather always told his children that their impoverished village had to loot a cannon from an abandoned armory to defend themselves.
As a Filipino-American, I would hope that at some point someone covers the Philippines and their revolutions from the Spanish-American War to the overthrows of the late 20th century, as I feel like our history is often overlooked and is often painted as just the background and setting for more popular history such as WWII.

Have you seen a japanese menu, half the shit prepared can be poisonous (some literally......and some to the sole (dramatic music plays as pictures of crying whales pass by))
Anyone know whether Germany was even involved with Asia? I know they were pretty late to the colonial pie-sharing and pretty much only got the regions nobody else wanted. Never heard of any German influence in Asia at this time, but I could be wrong...
7:24 Those two facility were called 考試院 ( One for the test ) and 監察院 ( the one moniters the fiancial flow ). 考試院 's duty is to host national test for recruiting Civil servants, and manage officials' promotion, awarding, retirement etc. 監察院 was built to impeach, investigate any official that committed illrgal activities such as money laundering. And these facilities are both independent from the controlling party and can't show preferences to any political leanings.
@StarboardPlunger RE: "監察院 was built to impeach, investigate any official that committed illrgal activities such as money laundering." We certainly need something like that in the United States these days.
Indeed, only a matter of time before South Korea eats North Korea. .......Or China, or even possibly the United States, or- 'Goes on for several minutes naming countries that could and possibly would annex North Korea.'.
@@ShadowWolfRising Mostly South Korea and China though. Other nations don't really have enough of a stake to full-on annex or occupy it for a long time.
@@ShadowWolfRising The only circumstance i'm afraid of is if North Korea, now that they have nukes, chooses to launch them when they know they are going to be defeated, after all when the guy in charge who only cares about himself realizes that he is going to lose everything he might just want to watch the world burn as one last fuck you.
ShadowWolfRising Unfortunately it'll probably never happen. China is very set on keeping an allied nation between it and the western allied South Korea. If NK pushes south, the US, Japan, and Europe would be incited to war, and if SK pushes north, China would be rallied to the lines, and possibly Russia too. If it looks like China might fall to the West, Russia would face the same issue China is now with NK, and so would likely be compelled to join in the fray. Breaking the status quo in the Koreas would inevitably lead to a world war.
Woo whooo, another video, been waiting for these. Got a recommendation for u guys. U have done a series on the history of money. Why not a series on the history of agriculture. It’s such a crucial part and I’m pretty sure u guys could find a great deal of information that no one actually thinks about anymore.
That will be really hard. It's a huge and complex topic but unbelievable amounts of influence on politics and culture. Money, was less relevant during most of history. Most people were farmers and just consumed most of their own production. A lot of stuff they couldn't make themselves was bartered for. Money was really only relevant for merchants and rulers. Exploration and colonization greatly increased the importance of money but it still didn't become truly a critical thing until the industrial revolution. Maybe part of it could be possible such as the original revolution agraculture brings. Or the so called green revolution in the 17th century.
man they gotta make u a saint. Im an italian highschool student who was asked to create a presentation on China from 1800 till now and i couldn't understand a thing! i watched your videos and it really saved my butt from a bad mark😍
On the map you have India divided into the modern countries. In 1900s though, India, Pakistan and Bangladesh would have been united into the British Raj.
I love how garfield represents the embodiment of consumption. Like a lovecraftian monster. "Garyogathas" consumes all Italian cuisine. And hungers for blood.
This truly shows how rare it is that revolutions succeed, and really high-lights how lucky the American and French revolutions were. They could have easily been crushed by the Powers That Be, but a combination of factors, some of which that Sun Yat-Sen lacked, like incompetent enemy governments and long travel times between armies and communications, allowed them to achieve their goals relatively easily. It really makes you think.
the mandate of heaven is determined by the hearts of the people. the ones who wins the hearts of the people gains the kingdom is a long-held understanding for centuries of chinese rulers
9:59 There’s a memorial hall in Singapore for Sun Yat Sen. Apparently it used to be a villa of his. You can search it up, “Sun Yat Sen Nanyang Memorial Hall” It was in this villa that he planned three uprisings before the successful Wuchang Uprising of 1911.
I'm so damn sorry that teachers don't make us learn history by telling the story. Of course you have to know when and why everything happend, but the problem is, the tales are never told ! How many students would love to educate history if they knew a bit more about the events ?
Because it's a lot to take note on for a single year, also the utter pointlessness of learning it. Who on earth cares what the British did with their king in 1642 while I am here in Asia studying Asian history? That is the common complaint.
8:30 I remember when my grand-ma told me a story about my great grand mother. At that time, having small feet was a sign of attraction so parents usually craked the bones of the foot and shoved it into smaller shoes in an effort to acquire this. She said that my great grand mother often couldnt walk and was in constant pain. What a tragedy :(
Excellent video, well done Extra History, this series is one of your best yet! Learning about the Father of Modern China is both interesting and in my opinion, important for people to know. Please keep up the great work, KMT for China!
I always watch Extra history man. Why am i so pump up when i watch videos from this channel. Simple videos and great narrators. Extra history dudes I'm always been waiting for a Phillipines extra history vid
Fantastic work on designing such expressive characters in each illustration. Those details really help convey the context and emotion of each conflict. 👌🏻
Extra History can you do a series, or a episode on the USSR? Like the events leading up to it's formation, everything in between, and the after-effects of the fall?
I had some vague knowledge of Chinese history in that time, the colonization by Western and Japanese powers and the revolutions, but I had no idea Sun Yat-Sen existed until you made a video about him. You really achieved your goal here, making people learn.
It wasn't really colonization. There were westerners living in China but they did so as businessmen. China was still independent and though the areas given to foreigners were numerous they were all very small.
this series is AWESOME by the way, it's literally nice to see as much detail on happenings within the asian sphere as the european of that period, like god i get bored of ww1 this is really interesting, so many dashing revolutionaries full of spunk and ideals :D
That man is a brave and fearless hero but his fiery temper is his main flaw. Other than that, he fell victim to the connivance and power plays as well as selfishness of his compatriots
Idk if i wrote it down before but this series is by far the best, most awesome series you've done and I love it. Though I realised the other day is that I kind of struggle to remember all the points from other series... maybe like a conclusion at the end running over all the main points would be cool.
My Social Studies teacher told me that she had a brother and his wife who lived in China, they were Christian missionaries and had lived there for 6 years with a son too. One day they were evicted from the country because they had been seen on social media In the country saying church to many times. They had to leave the country and those stuff to in there apartment and went back to America. This is China for you ( *Real* ).
Been gone from this channel for a while, already miss the old voice. Not that this one is bad or the other one great. Takes time to adapt to this at times bit more sarcastic way of presenting ;). Other then that, very glad with this subject.
Crap, Obama was a Chinese agent trying to establish democracy in the US! A Manchurian candidate! Well jokes on him, the gerrymandering and electoral college is as strong as ever!
After Yuan dynasty fell, Mongol area didn't separate permanently, and Mongolia didn't declare independence until the Qing dynasty fell. It was only really actually independent about 10 years after that, with the support of Russia/USSR, and really only had fully recognised status 20-40 years after that.
I'm liking this so far, I'm a bit of a sucker for Revolutionary China as a period. Are you going to cover some of the interesting foreign volunteers who were in this? I know they were airbrushed out of the narrative in the film "1911". It might help people outside of China realize that there were people like them who thought fighting for a free and sane China was a worthwhile sacrifice.
I have mixed feeling when I watched this as Chinese. As a main-lander, I have deep respect for Sun and I will be forever grateful that his bravery and diligence gave China its needed chance of reborn. But What Sun did was not much different than today's "civil rights" lawyers in China, "biding foreign influence to change China". Most Chinese netizens believe in our ancient meritocracy system(not the party) so we don't want to adopt western model of "excessive freedom" and "everyone gets a say" a single bit. In fact, Sun's republic was considered weak and corrupt, also heavily manipulated by regional military officials(warlords in disguise). We have a neighbor, Thai, in similar situation today so we know that's not going to work well. Should Sun have failed, history will only remember him as another traitorous dog of imperialist Japan. Alas, such is the way of 成王败寇。
Not entirely, visit Taiwan you would be surprised that Sun's original ideas are actually achieved in Taiwan today, and nobody sees him as a traitorous dog there.
@@petersu33 No offense but your logic doesn't make sense. First of all Sun didn't fail, so he isn't traitor in reality. Secondly, Taiwan isn't a much brighter place. I read and write quite a lot about what's going on there, from the primary source directly from Taiwan media and books. Don't let so-called democracy fool your vision. Wise people don't even care about ideology. It is just another example of how wrongfully adopt western value can harm to an eastern society. Taiwan has learned some good thing from democracy and made an impressive state welfare. Mainland has much to learn on that. However, they also learned the ugliest things about "western democracy". Bipartisan feud, corrupt and incompetent officials, "brawl club" legislature, inconsistent policy and no long-term planning, populist insane street politics(ever heard generating electricity with LOVE?). I am fairly sure that's not how Sun planned. Surely, though our mainland authoritarian neo-capitalist government is evil and horrible but at least it is somewhat efficient and realistic. That's why it hasn't been overthrown yet.
I mean china's government model is always western since the fall of qing coz China follows Marxism and socialism so that itself is western. I would also like to argue that Suns republic was only controlled by warlords "yuan shi kai" due to the lack of a standing military and how the revolution was heavily reliant on yuan's Pacific army which can even be matched against Japanese imperial army due to German leadership and training so no shit Suns republic was overthrown by yuan. And Suns republic is considered the most successful model of government if it had continued as it combines western democracy and socialism while maintaining ancient and traditional Chinese values that currently neither china's possess due to modernisation from Taiwan and the cultural revolution in China.
And a mainland Chinese along with Taiwanese is never culturally Chinese as u guys have completely neglected Ur own culture due to arrogance and ignorance. A Chinese from Singapore and other abroad Chinese communities have more connection to culture and beliefs than modern so called Chinese
@@petersu33 no body sees him as that in mainland china either. the dude is saying if he had failed in the end, he might have been seen as just another (minor)puppet of foreign powers(those foreign powers were indeed trying to use him)

You know who really made the rebellion? It was Walpole.
These drawings are so entertaining! Also they explain it well. Great stuff!
Pls do the Spanish inquisition

Would you consider doing a series on Qiu Jin? She is quite the badass!
8:37 Taiwan forbids the binding of women's feet right after Imperial Japanese rule
Been gone from this channel for a while, already miss the old voice. Not that this one is bad or the other one great. Takes time to adapt to this at times bit more sarcastic way of presenting ;). Other then that, very glad with this subject.
At this point, Extra Credits is hardly trying to make the flags accurate to the time period. So many mistakes...
I've been waiting for this
How do you exile an army
by exiling it
Ask Poland.
You say "get lost"............smug dance
I knew nearly nothing about Sun Yat Sen... But, damn, the dedication of this man 0o0
wow, 10 failed attempts! this man doesn't know how to stop.
There is a saying about hammering a boulder a 100 times and the boulder doesn't even show a crack, but by the 101st blow that boulder cracks in 2
Would love to see a series on the Boxer Rebellion down the line
That whole 2nd opium war to Sun's revolt would be cool, that period of chinese history is GoT level crazy
A forged birth certificate from hawaii................... Oh man, where am I getting........ LOL.
Crap, Obama was a Chinese agent trying to establish democracy in the US! A Manchurian candidate! Well jokes on him, the gerrymandering and electoral college is as strong as ever!
Unfortunately this joke is no longer relevant.
Can't wait for #4!
1:12 why is mongolia not there
After Yuan dynasty fell, Mongol area didn't separate permanently, and Mongolia didn't declare independence until the Qing dynasty fell. It was only really actually independent about 10 years after that, with the support of Russia/USSR, and really only had fully recognised status 20-40 years after that.
Great work good too see you had a break
Do extra science
Such a complex and extremely interesting time in Chinese and Asian history.
Yo someone on patreon suggest history's greatest African empire and easily one of humanities top ten empire. The Ethiopian empire aka Abyssinia
I love these types of stories
*sun yat sen*
I'm liking this so far, I'm a bit of a sucker for Revolutionary China as a period. Are you going to cover some of the interesting foreign volunteers who were in this? I know they were airbrushed out of the narrative in the film "1911". It might help people outside of China realize that there were people like them who thought fighting for a free and sane China was a worthwhile sacrifice.
Since you mentioned the Philippine independent revolution.can you make a story about Andres Bonifacio after you finish this series .😂😂😂

Sun Yet made the biggest comeback in history
I have mixed feeling when I watched this as Chinese. As a main-lander, I have deep respect for Sun and I will be forever grateful that his bravery and diligence gave China its needed chance of reborn. But What Sun did was not much different than today's "civil rights" lawyers in China, "biding foreign influence to change China". Most Chinese netizens believe in our ancient meritocracy system(not the party) so we don't want to adopt western model of "excessive freedom" and "everyone gets a say" a single bit. In fact, Sun's republic was considered weak and corrupt, also heavily manipulated by regional military officials(warlords in disguise). We have a neighbor, Thai, in similar situation today so we know that's not going to work well. Should Sun have failed, history will only remember him as another traitorous dog of imperialist Japan. Alas, such is the way of 成王败寇。
Not entirely, visit Taiwan you would be surprised that Sun's original ideas are actually achieved in Taiwan today, and nobody sees him as a traitorous dog there.
@@petersu33 No offense but your logic doesn't make sense. First of all Sun didn't fail, so he isn't traitor in reality. Secondly, Taiwan isn't a much brighter place. I read and write quite a lot about what's going on there, from the primary source directly from Taiwan media and books. Don't let so-called democracy fool your vision. Wise people don't even care about ideology. It is just another example of how wrongfully adopt western value can harm to an eastern society. Taiwan has learned some good thing from democracy and made an impressive state welfare. Mainland has much to learn on that. However, they also learned the ugliest things about "western democracy". Bipartisan feud, corrupt and incompetent officials, "brawl club" legislature, inconsistent policy and no long-term planning, populist insane street politics(ever heard generating electricity with LOVE?). I am fairly sure that's not how Sun planned. Surely, though our mainland authoritarian neo-capitalist government is evil and horrible but at least it is somewhat efficient and realistic. That's why it hasn't been overthrown yet.
I mean china's government model is always western since the fall of qing coz China follows Marxism and socialism so that itself is western. I would also like to argue that Suns republic was only controlled by warlords "yuan shi kai" due to the lack of a standing military and how the revolution was heavily reliant on yuan's Pacific army which can even be matched against Japanese imperial army due to German leadership and training so no shit Suns republic was overthrown by yuan. And Suns republic is considered the most successful model of government if it had continued as it combines western democracy and socialism while maintaining ancient and traditional Chinese values that currently neither china's possess due to modernisation from Taiwan and the cultural revolution in China.
And a mainland Chinese along with Taiwanese is never culturally Chinese as u guys have completely neglected Ur own culture due to arrogance and ignorance. A Chinese from Singapore and other abroad Chinese communities have more connection to culture and beliefs than modern so called Chinese
@@petersu33 no body sees him as that in mainland china either. the dude is saying if he had failed in the end, he might have been seen as just another (minor)puppet of foreign powers(those foreign powers were indeed trying to use him)
