Good day! I would appreciate if you give a listen and leave a comment for the lecture on the "Death and Decline of Western Civilization" by prominent Russian historian Evgeny Ponasenkov - ruclips.net/video/wmbYicBvj5E/видео.html. Thankyou.
Ask the questions, what culture was imposed on the victims of armed economic expansion, who actually did it, and how they did it. My 3 simple answers are, the English with their superior race ideology, using guns.
If no WW2, UK still empire-ing? or in parts? & empire to me is just influence, and can be good compare to some other influences. e.g. is china 1 party ccp & 1 man xi new world order better?
he forgot to mention the African contribution to the west European civilization, i mean free labor which was as much sort after like the oil boom of today. free gold, diamonds, copper, rubber, timber, and other minerals necessary for technological advances were all extracted free and at free labor from Africa. he should not also forget that the African civilization strive when European and Asia were still living primitive, the Moors who conquered Spain, the Nubia empire,the empire of Ghana, the empire of Mali, the empire of Songhai.
Africa was the best place to live on earth up until 1400, that is the reason humanity originated in Mother Africa and its migrants populated the world, after that (1400), everything that made Africa (South of the Sahara) "safe," it's geography (no navigable rivers no natural sea ports/bays, vast deserts/jungles/pestilence) its isolation (1500 recognized/known languages) doomed Africa economically, technology, social... The last nail in Africa's economic coffin was the *Abolition of Slavery,* from 1850 (see English Parliament Abolition of Slavery Act) to 1950, only 100yrs, Africa's economy went into the basement and has never recovered. By 1880 Slavery World Wide had virtually ended, the various African War Lord's lost their main product, Human-Slaves, and therefore had nothing to exchange for foreign products/goods.
Absolutely ! I would simply say, Eurocentric BS ! The Eurocentric British historian mentioned Europe being influenced by Christianity, but not Christianity itself being influenced by Ancient Egypt, that Ancient Greece & Rome were copies of Ancient Egypt, which was a black African civilization. And Eurocentrism is most toxic against people of African descent, the reason why Europe is the only region on the planet, where Africans or blacks didn't manage to survive for generations, say unlike other minorities like jews and gypsies. And that toxic Eurocentrism is now declining and being replaced by Afrocentrism in Africa and the Western hemisphere.
Is this Niall Ferguson for real? The great war was essentially, put simply, Germany looking to gain power and territory...and I don't need to say that in French. Alliances, good or bad were followed through for selfish gain. I wonder how much he gets paid to practise his French on stage?
I respectfully point out that Niall Ferguson does not refer to ‘Democracy’ as a killer app. In fact he purposely debunks that idea by referring to the fact that the ‘West’ was already dominating the ‘Rest’ prior Europe becoming democratic.
The last thing the Middle East requires is a ‘Chinese Style’ one party state. I don’t believe absolute control in the hands of one party has worked out too well these past 50 years in the Arab world.
I agree with you but that is why his statements are contradictory. Some degree of democracy is important in steering a nation in the right direction. Iraq under Saddam was briefly successful, but his stewardship failed. Park was responsible for S Korea's success but long term he could have ended up going down the same road as Saddam. Den Chao Ping had vision but can a select elite keep going in the right direction in China?

Becomes interesting*
@@MLouah-gp9ef there ya go.
Nacissistic? Niall Ferguson is easily the smartest historian in the world of public intellectuals.
1:14:23 sounds like John Kornblum to me
Brilliant

Thank god they did too: would you want the Belgium Congo to have won the culture war, or Communist China?
Jihadists didn't do the same?
I watched this on my Sony connected Apple TV
47:34 empires are like the poor... So unemployed are like Cesars?
He is wrong about education. Asian education lacks creativity, knowing how do math doesn't mean a richer economy necessarily.

Racist aren't you?

Africa is poor because it has the worst geography of any continent.

also contradicts himself about the Arab spring. Democracy isn't a winning app. Arab countries would be better to copy the Chinese model
Maybe the food, dude, but that's it, shyat.
