🤔 How much was Napoleon worth? Are we including eastern Russia; or midwestern United States. When considering the midwest is it based on what it was sold for or actually worth today....Moscow was in ashes, still its the wealthiest city today. 😖

Ranavalona I, Queen of Madagascar was a good African ruler, probably the best of her time imo, because she was able to make Madagascar independent of European goods and the slave trade and started production of her own firearms. She also politically consolidated her empire, through increasing political complexity

@lolnoob5015

4 жыл бұрын

@Heru Behudety She was extremely successful, she fended off many french and british invasions and attempts to dethrone her, so she was very capable. For example, Taking for wikepedia: "Ranavalona's reign was marked by a struggle between France and Britain to secure control over Madagascar.[40] The French, who held several small islands off Madagascar, were interested in gaining control over the main island but this move was opposed by the British who had an interest in maintaining a safe passage to India. Ranavalona pursued a policy of self-reliance to limit the influence of these foreign powers.[44] Shortly after taking the throne, Ranavalona annulled the Anglo-Merina treaty that had been concluded between Radama and British envoys, and refused to continue receiving annual payments from Britain in exchange for adherence to the stipulations of the treaty. The most significant of these conditions was the kingdom's non-participation in the international slave trade, which had historically been a major source of revenue for the kingdoms of Imerina, Betsimisaraka, Sakalava and others across the island. One consequence of the termination of the Anglo-Merina friendship treaty was an end to the delivery of British weaponry, which rendered the queen vulnerable to designs against her from foreign powers and pockets of local resistance alike.[45] This vulnerability was underscored in 1829 when a fleet of six French ships launched an unprovoked attack against the fort of Foulpointe and the near"by town of Ivondro on the eastern coast of Madagascar.[45] The queen's army successfully repelled the French at the next port, forcing the ships to Île Sainte-Marie, where they engaged a diplomatic envoy sent from Antananarivo by Ranavalona. The protracted negotiations ensured the French suffered from the malaria prevalent in coastal areas, until the increasing casualties forced the ships' withdrawal from Ranavalona's territory.[46]" From: www.notablebiographies.com/supp/Supplement-Mi-So/Ranavalona-I-Queen-of-Madagascar.html "Despite her attempts to resist Western influence, Ranavalona had a curiously ambivalent attitude toward the West. It was French life that fascinated her; she had courtiers dressed in French clothing, often mixing the styles of a variety of eras, and she kept a battered piano on hand, sometimes inviting visitors to play it. When it came to economic and political matters, however, Ranavalona was the West's implacable foe. A combined French and English attack on Madagascar in 1849 failed miserably as European sailors were surprised by a false-fronted native fort that concealed a much more substantial structure. A struggle between French and English troops over a temporarily captured Malagasy flag also contributed to Ranavalona's victory. A set of 21 European skulls was mounted on poles and placed along the shoreline to discourage future invasions" She also foiled many other foreign secret plots: "Ranavalona's son, Rakoto, and her confidant, Laborde, turned against her and conspired with a French shipping merchant, Joseph Lambert, to drive her from power. The plot, launched in 1857, was well documented by an Austrian world traveler, Ida Pfeiffer, who was visiting Madagascar at the time and unwittingly became entangled in the intrigue. Ranavalona, probably with the help of spies, foiled the plan and toyed with the conspirators. Rakoto survived the resulting purges and pleaded for the lives of his European friends, and Ranavalona seemingly agreed." The problem with her is that she was cruel and ruthless, she's known as the muderous Queen, especially by many Christian malagasies, as she executed Malagasy followers of Christianity, by traditionalists she's praised, and her actions as defended as she was trying to maintain the sovereignty of Madagascar. She is given the title, the world's most murderous Queen, and some people estimate about 2.5 million Malagasies died due to war, disease, and her cruel system of justice.

Salt isn't "almost as valuable as gold" and has never been. This is a misconception. It was really valuable trade resource though. Exaggerations in educational videos should be avoided. I think Metatron made video about this salty thing.

Same. I mean it's overall good but there just too many "jokes" and cutaways. You're teaching history, people are here to learn history. He's has an intresting channel and the topic of the video is already intresting as is, the cutaways just distract from the lesson. I'm guessing this video was made for children or something.
