John Greene, you have honestly been one of my heroes since you first started hosting crash course history. I've read some of your books and I think I have watched each episode of your crash series twice. You are one of the most influential teachers I have ever had, and now I'm a history teacher myself! When I saw you were hosting this series, I could hardly wait to watch it. However, I sincerely miss the charisma and energy you had in your older episodes: the jokes, the pace of your speech, the cultural references... Could we have some of that old John Greene back? It feels a bit hollow without him. Either way, keep up the great work man, but please consider this request!

As a teacher, thanks for slowing down a bit! Makes it easier to use as an educational tool.

Hey John! I absolutely love this European History crash course. I've been bingeing it once again during the covid-19 outbreak. I was wondering though if crash course plans to do a crash course on the History of the Americas? I could never seem to find as much information on pre-colonial Native American and Mesoamerican history. Would love to binge through a crash course series like that one day!

-*Scream's like a girl from those old Beatles videos* - OMG it's John Green! I never thought you'd be back! I love you and miss you! Super excited to watch the rest of this series!

14:03 "It's nice to be back". Good to have you back!

I'd love for you guys to explore some pre-christian European history, I know there's not nearly as much documented but it would be cool to hear more about the celtic and germanic tribes (not just vikings), what we know about their traditions and rituals etc

3:14 "Imagine losing half of your community" Me: Mr Stark, I dont feel so good

It's SO good to have you back John! You and your hilarious teaching style during CrashCourse World History are the whole reason why a lot of us have become such big fans and haven't left since! Missed this!

I'd feel bad saying this but I think John himself would agree--people change with age. He can't be the youthful, energetic guy he was in 2012 videos, because he's not that same person now. And that's totally okay. I've been watching Vlogbrothers for years, and I've noticed that John now speaks slower and says increasingly candid and personal things in his videos (especially since the release of 'Turtles All the Way Down'). This doesn't necessarily mean he's any more or less exhausted or depressed than he was before--he just no longer feels the need to play a role, and is more comfortable playing himself. His videos have only grown more thoughtful, and this video is as good an example as any. Nowadays, he may speak fewer words, but he says more with them, in my opinion.

I've been watching a TON of crash course US history over the past few weeks. It dawned on me that eventually I'm gonna run out of episodes so I went to the channel and am super happy to see that their are recent uploads with Mr. Green! I miss the 'me from the past' bit a lot, but still love learning from this man and enjoy every part of this video :) Hope you keep uploading Mr Green

Thank you for this crash course, I live in England so I've learnt a lot of British history but with video and subtitles it's much easier for me to take in lots more information. Looking forward to the next episode!

becoming a huge fan of this series, feel like i'm learning way more in way less time than i did in high school and do in university

so glad to have John back with a nice history topic!

Oh this couldn’t have come at a better time! I’m taking European history next year! Thank you! You have no idea how happy I am for these episodes (I’ve watched all the US history,and world history videos and I’ve loved them!)

John! I'm so very happy to see you again teaching history in crash course!!!! I shall enjoy and learn from this new course as I did years ago. I'm truly happy. World history and biology where my favorite courses! :)

I love the look of this series already 🙂 This looks to be a great series - you should definitely do more of these more focused history series.

The Byzantine was already weak even before the Fourth Crusade. That's why they fell to the Crusader in the first place.

Byzantium itself could have survived the Ottomans had they gotten their political act together & strengthen the rules of succession in order to cut down on the number of their civil wars. The Ottomans were actually invited into Europe to help one side in a Palaologian (last Byzantine Dynasty) civil war. As is the Crusader Latin Empire (which actually envisioned itself as a conquering continuation of the Byzantine Empire in competition with Nicea, Trebizond, & Epirus) might have had the best shot at instilling the principle that usurping the throne just because you can is a bad thing. 'Tis such a shame that the crusaders fired most of the Greek bureaucracy in the parts of the Empire that they controlled (because they didn't trust them), thus severely damaging the economy & then suffered a crushing defeat by the Second Bulgarian Empire at Adrianople in which their Emperor Baldwin I got captured.

I appreciate the slower pass, and the further elaboration of concepts brought up in the episode. Really excited about this series!

Welcome back. You have been sorely missed. This is one of my all-time favorite KZread channels.

History is so amazing, awe-inspiring, and overwhelming, that’s it’s almost impossible to believe that all of this actually happened.

WOW! A new history series! I love it!

You gotta love this channel. The Amount of work they put into this video is insane. Honestly, you should have even more subs and views than you already have. Thanks for the amazing videos and being able to teach me how the middle ages better than me teachers ;)

I love this contextualization of European history! I love how events described here are more than just dates and facts to remember for a history test.

I know that there isnt really such a thing as a separate Europe and Asia but it would be cool if you guys did an Asian history series since it isnt talked about very much

So the title should be "Late Medival Europe" i guess :) anyway, great summary of that time.

Amazing! I was just thinking today it would be good to watch some crash course and here you are! Thanks John

Excellent job!! And one of the most succinct and even handed explanations of *all* of these big events. Also the explanation that made sense, which most of the ones I encountered in school quite emphatically did NOT. Glad to see you back in the teacher's chair!

Burgundy was a DUCAL court, not a royal court. Though there was a Kingdom of Burgundy, it had been absorbed by the Holy Roman Empire about half a millenium prior (technically the Holy Roman Emperors were kings of Germany, Italy and Burgundy until 1806, but de facto those titles had long dissolved). However as Imperial power over its western fringe slowly declined several regions, including Burgundy, fell under control of France. The Dukes of Burgundy were, even during the 100 Years' War, technically vassals of the French king, but as royal authority was weak due to that whole "other kings want to ursurp our throne" deal the Dukes of Burgundy were de facto a sovereign realm seeking full independency from the French crown, especially after they inherited significant territories in the Low Countries as the Dukes of Bavaria-Straubing went extinct. Fun fact: Through marriage these Burgundian Low Countries fell first to Austria and then to Castile/Spain before a minor noble from western Germany led these provinces into revolt and thus founded the precursor of what is now the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

So European history looks like it is going to be very focused on England, with a bit of France. With a bit of other stuff to give context. Scandinavia still have elected kings in this periode and had not yet totally commited to the idea of nobility. It is the start of the Jagiellonian dynasty in Poland. The Hansactic League forms. The Kalmar Union. The last king of the Bohemian royal line dies. The mongols are beaten by what would latter become Russia.

I think we all know that the real cause of the black death was China opening up the silk road and thereby breaking their isolationism. But wait... The Han Dynasty only opened the Silk road because they wanted to spread Chinese culture to the Tarim basin. And they only wanted to do that because the Tarim Basin was paying tribute to the Xiongnou nomads who were ravaging China and extracting Chinese tribute. And they hoped that by spreading Chinese culture and encouraging trade they could break the Tarim Basin from the Xiongnou empire (and it worked). History is so beautifully complex.

Yeah love your videos. Glad you're back.
