How would the world be different today if Germany didn't invade the Soviet Union?

Yes and maybe the tides of war because the Soviet ain't planning to attack because they are neutral and a non pact aggression with germany

Honestly I think Germany would still have lost, mainly because Nukes would still be a thing

Germany probably still would have lost. I think the two would have ended up fighting anyways. Germany was always going to invade the Soviet Union based on Nazi ideology.

Napoléon not only spread the metric system, he tasked people to invent it.

Invented as a revolutionary act, because of the dependence on kings for things like the yard (distance from nose to thumb when arm extended) or at least that original basis, they wanted to de-royal weights and measures.

Facts.....

4:21 the rest of the world, except for Liberia and Myanmar those two also use the imperial system, as their official measurement system

The hundreds of Local measuring systems that were replaced by the Metric System (every tiny German state had it's own weights and measures and the Spanish had two different measurements for the mile) greatly simplified trade across the Continent.

Sweden actually started using the metric system long after Napoleon died. Before that we tried we tried to "resolve" the confusion between Swedish and English inches by introducing yet another inch that was 1/10 of a Swedish foot rather than 1/12, so it was definitely not straight forward.

10:25 Hi Terry, I wanted to correct a misunderstanding, that meme is talking about the Qin dynasty, not the Qing. (It's confusing) Qin was the first Chinese empire, while Qing was the last. The name China comes from Qin, not from Qing. Qin unified China after 500 years of fighting and the military tactics and battles were some of the most nuts and horrifying. This doesn't get talked about enough, this was during the time when macadeon empire and Roman empires started, yet the strategies and battles were on par. Even though the dynasty didn't last long, around a couple decades, replaced by the Han dynasty. But during the warring states period, it was an astounding machine of warfare.

Fun fact! The flushable toilet was invented in 1596, by Queen Elizabeth I's godson Sir John Harington. The 2 that were made were installed in John Harington's home, and Queen Elizabeth's Chambers. The next flushable toilet didn't come along until 1775.

That last one is just going so hard into the war ship trope, lol.

11:55 kind of looks like Hiroo Onoda, the WWII soldier who didn't surrender until 1974 making him the second to last Japanese soldier to surrender.

"He'd be flopping" i said the exact same thing almost at the same time.

Be yourself

There's proof of the various forms of measurements used in Europe is the construction of various castles. The equipment to the foreman would have their own system and the people who worked for them would base it off of that. There's a documentary on it, on here, of a team building a castle using the same techniques from the time period.

Feel like for the USA and USSR there was no scaling with like performance to resources available ratio.

4:28 I wish we lived in this universe lol

10:24 I'm pretty sure the meme was talking about the edgy Qin dynasty (of Qin Shi Huang) not the Qing dynasty

Mr. Terry I was wondering what is your opinion as to when people cover the Vietnam war they never mention how America only lost politically and not militarily? People say we got our butts kicked but if you look at the military stats between North Vietnam and America it says the opposite. We kicked thier butts to my understanding. I want to learn more on the war because my dad was in it in 67-68 and was in Tet of 68. But I was wondering what your view is on the matter?

let us not forget that it was english privateers that raided the ship carrying the metric system standards to the US for congress to evaluate.

Yeah it would have probably went better for the Germans if they would have invaded in the end of the winter instead of right in the dead of summer. I mean come on fighting is snow is pretty damn hard i couldnt imagine a shittier time to try to do an invason definitely would have probably looked a little different if they would have done it towards the end of winter

I ship turkeys Greece

Imperial has the "Rule of Cool" you sounds lame when you say Ki-LOMMM-eaterz or (Special) K, the only decent method is the US Military Klicks. Add to that Miles are what Kilometers want to be when they grow up. "I can't believe it! Your going 120 Ki-LOMMM-Eaterz on the Autobahn?" (What's that? Oh just only about 75 Miles an Hour-Yawn, in Texas you would be passed as if you are going in REVERSE)
