Mostly cause your teachers have a set curriculum they have to teach, and this guy can make a video on any topic he wants. You’re still in school so you don’t get it, but there’s a major difference between a youtuber and a teacher. But also, you’re clearly looking things up to learn further outside of the classroom. That’s good, but it’s obvious why you’re learning more because you choose to do so. It’s like if I went to Wikipedia to read some historical articles and went “wow Wikipedia is teaching me more than my teachers are.” Like yeah no shit cause you’re choosing to further your education on your own. And I can almost guarantee you’re doing that because history peaked your interest in school.

But when I was younger, I was just a brat who just wanted to just pass the class and play COD4 (and every subsequent sequel after that). I used to blame my teachers for a poor to mediocre education, but looking back at it now, my own lack of passion for history at the time has allowed me to forget most of what I learned. Going through college has made me appreciate the fact that learning done under my own initiative is more fulfilling.

When reading Julia Lovells 'The Opium War', I honestly found it unbelievable how many times the Emperor and his court were: 1) Entirely lied to about how the war situation was going by generals and officials scared to be killed if they told the truth (fun fact: during that first capture of Canton, Qishan was basically the first person to say that the British had won any battles, probably a large part of why he was put to death); and 2) entirely unaware of geopolitics and smugly assured of Imperial supremacy, like during a late stage of the war the Daoguang Emperor had to demand maps and an explanation of who the hell these 'British' were.

I know you just remade the video, but I would have talked about the discontent with the Qing and the Qing's defeat helped fuel the Taiping rebellion. The Taiping rebellion was an enormous conflict where more potentially more Chinese died than World War One, and it's often forgotten in the West. It was briefly mentioned as instability at 12:40 but it jumped to the West demanding more, and I believe it deserves a mention.
