The Russo-Japanese war is very important to Russian history. It made clear that the Russian army was old fashioned and not the superpower it was showing of to be (and was during the reigns of Catherine the Great or Alexander I). This damaged the power and image of Tsar Nicolas II badly. The most important part of the Russian navy was sunk in less than an hour by Japan and the economy was damaged. This is one of the moments that was the beginning of the end of Tsarist Russia.

This is one of the most humiliating things ever happend to China. Chinese government signed a great number of "treaties" since 1840 with western countrys and was losing ground, but this is the very first time that Chinese people saw two foriegn armies fighting their war on what is originally a part of China. This inccident, together with the Treaty of Paris which gave Qingdao to Japan from Germany even though China is also considered as a victorious nation of WW1, then became the foundation for all the revolutionaries happened later, including Mao and communist party.

As someone who had some teachers who were more advanced, and some stuck in the old ways, it is definitely not about us being mature now. The way teacher interacts with class and what kind of person they are matters a lot. To many teachers are incompetent and power tripping, and bother about anything but teaching their students. If something is not working, they will keep doing it because "thats how it should be", while good teachers will start considering changes. The world changed A LOT in last 20 years, yet some people who taught 20 years ago, still are considered to be qualified teachers, despite the fact that they still teach same things they did 20 years ago, in a same way.

Wanted to add some stuff why the dutch were the ones allowed to trade with japan. So basically before they got their permission the portuguese had the monopoly on japan but like you said they were very pushy when it came to christianity. So much so that there was a christian uprising in Kyushu which gave the Tokugawa shogunate a really big headache. So they kicked the portuguese out and asked the dutch for help crushing the revolt. After the revolt was over they got the permission to trade.

4:13 That's exactly the point of "react" videos, thank you very much for your insights and commentary.

To your point about these videos being assessable - they're not, but that doesn't make them any less valuable. They're high point overviews of entire topics, which makes the little details more interesting. I so wish I had this in school, after watching them I became so curious about the rest of it & watching your reactions made me realize how cool history actually is after 22 years of hating it. Now that I have a solid overview of what happened, the details make so much more sense and I would have done a lot better on assessments from the lessons if I had the context these videos put everything in. School is about learning, not assessing. It's creating problems in this country that so many people in charge of education believe this. The only thing assessments do is give teachers hard data to base their performance on, but what happened is kids started only learning things for the test. I'd study up all night & then ace a test that I would fail if I tried to take the next week, because I was studying for a test, rather than studying to learn. If I had the contextual overview these fun videos provided prior to my history classes I would have learned so much more.

I am currently looking into getting a degree in history and eventually start teaching. My largest trepidation of the teaching aspect is getting my students interested enough about history that they become hungry to learn. Ultimately I want to teach military history to military cadets because of my prior service (ROTC, OCS, or maybe at one of the academies). I love the feeling when I see the look of excitement on someone's face when history "clicks" after I tell them little snippets and facts about certain historical topics, but those instances were just informal conversations with one or a tiny group; never a class in a learning institution.

I'm guessing that they also restringed the trade with western europe due to the influence of christianty. After more than 150 years of war, having to deal with both a western power and possibly with a religious uprising would have been to much. Japan was at peace after a long period that exhausted many of their... Feuds? I don't know an exact word to describe it, but it would be the regions that were controlled by different clans during the sengoku period. Also, one of their latest religious uprisings were a true pain. Most notably, the Ikko Ikki, a different branch of buddhism, who started an uprising near the end of the 15th century at the city of Echizen and they lasted until 1564, when Nobunaga actually managed to defeat them after a 10-year siege (Siege of Ishiyama Honganji). Plus, like you said, the fact that european kingdoms did take advantage of their trading partners. I guess that all of this had to do with Tokugawa's decision of closing the country. Finally, as an opinion, i don't think you should excuse yourself for pausing the video. If people is watching this, it's because they also care about what you have to say. Otherwise, they would have went to the original video. Plus, it's way more interesting to hear soemone more knowledgeable on the matter, who might point out something that looks like a little detail but that it was in fact a major thing, like the two typhoons during the mongol invasion. Someone would have usually said "Hey, that's lucky". You pointed out "This might have to do with their strong religious roots, after all they revered nature itself".

I found the oversimplified way better as it is not too quick and it is more in depth and you can pause easily to address certain things to the students.

I feel like these can be apt for analysis. For me it was a good way to gain a perspective from a distance. Sometimes you can get muddled in the details and miss the big picture. I feel like Bill's videos are great for being able to see the big picture and peak interests on specific topics.

he said at the very beginning he's watched this many times and he also teaches about japan - at this point it's just him spitting out info from memory

Would you react to: The Russian 2nd Pacific Squadron - Voyage of the Damned, by Drachinifel? It's a long one, but it so intriguingly tragic and comedic at the same time.

Yup we’ve all already watched the original video we want to hear as much as you know but also re watch the video as it plays

When I lived in Japan we had 5 or 6 Typhoons a year they aren’t that rare

I’m just letting you know, oversimplified has uploaded a new, two part video on the French Revolution, looking forward to the possibility of a reaction of those videos! Have a good day! :)

luv ur vids

French revolution by oversimplified

others reacting to the video: laughs and random comments Mr Terry: tells you more about it

Dutch also helped Tokugawa by supplying cannons to them, so that's also possibly why

The Typhoons that stopped the mongols are the namesake for a more modern japanese tactic, the Kamikaze pilots, as the typhoons got called this aswell when they stopped the mongols, it translates to Divine Wind.

This is sooooo good!!! Greetings from Chile !

15:01 Didn't they lost in ancient Vietnam aswell?

Nice to see some history that actually explicitly talks about selective borrowing, and hierarchies
