Crash Course World History has 42 videos, which cover 12000 years of human history and every major civilisation which has ever made a big difference to the world, plus other very large things which have made an enormous effect on the entire world today, such as religion and trade. It is not unreasonable to point out how the technologically primitive nature of the aboriginals, as well as their relative isolation from the rest of history, makes them unworthy to talk about in the same fairly small series which covers the agricultural revolution, the roman empire and the colonisation of the new world, amongst other extraordinarily influential things.

Not just being "PC" here, I think a video about Australian Aborigines would be fascinating. There is definitely enough historical information about Aboriginal culture to fill up an 8 minute video (half of John's videos are filler anyway) because Australian and Aboriginal cultures coexisted for a hundred years or so, and there is a plethora of oral tradition which is being proven right by archaeological excavations (for example, there are accurate drawings of megafauna which have been found dating to something like 30kya). Aboriginal land management practices have also recently been examined as a sort of midway point between agriculture and nomadism, as they used fire to change entire landscapes while maintaining ecological balance. It really changes the traditional idea of pre-agricultural humans as just hands-off wanderers and fractures the whole dichotomy of "civilised" and "uncivilised" itself.

Although Captain Cook ventured into the Pacific for the first time in 1768, I think it should be mentioned that the Polynesian people (made up of the pacific Islanders, Hawaiians, Easter Islanders and Maori (NZ natives) should have a mention or even have its own crash course as its own history is fascinating. Polynesian people are known to have ventured into the pacific realm before Christ (BC) - descending from Asia and eventually arriving at South America (and some say North America of the Coast of California) using only star navigation. New Zealand itself was occupied by the Polynesian Islanders approximately around 300-1200AD (this point is being argued but it is around this time). It would be awesome if Crash Course would delve into this untapped topic as there is not much mention or recognition for this culture globally.

Mark Stuber You give credit to the true discovers. True Cook was an explorer and discoverer of lands, but Polynesians ventured out into the Pacific before Europeans even knew how to ocean travel. I can tell by your German name you probably don't even know nothing about Polynesian history and saying Captain Cooks discovery is more important just goes to show how uninformed you are.

The reason that I enjoy Crash Course History is that you present the information, the questions left unanswered and provide multiple interpretations. This gives me the impression that you attempt to at least provide an educational series without an agenda. I thank you for this and as long as these videos are online I know myself and others will refer back to them to educate ourselves on history.

I really appreciate the fact that you cover different views and interpretations of historic events. Thank you for helping me to broaden my perspective.

+LinguaPhiliax: Mind citing some evidence for your claim? Here's evidence for my claim that Cook was a decent person, written by someone who actually sailed with him (named David Samwell): "[Cook was] of a disposition the most friendly, benevolent and humane."

At the end of his videos, he always sounds like he's about to laugh.

+ Aviel Geronimo, in Hawai'i they definitely don't teach that. They teach that Cook died during an attempt to get back a stolen life boat (and the fracas that resulted in a scuffle along the black beach in Kealakekua Bay), and he was killed in Kealakekua (where a memorial today still stands---possibly not on the exact spot), he was stripped of flesh common ancient Hawaiian practice (also documented on other native chieftains) because it enables them to "gain the mana" of that chief, and or that's it's a common practice of respect among high noble blood. They then hide the bones after cleaning it. That's actually a sign of respect. Despite the shit bag ways of many Europeans navigators and colonizers (who often pay hospitality of the natives with violence) in the Pacific, eg Magellan, these so called "savages" actually have a lot respect. I grew up on the Big Island and been to Kealakekua (which a town uphill is named after Captain Cook aka Capt Cook, HI) and the Captain Cook memorial many times. If anyone's is visiting the Big Island definitely a nice place to snorkel.

John! I think I’m going to take those last three questions with me into a lot of the issues I’m trying to really think critically about right now. THANK YOU FOR THOSE!

These videos are pretty cool, good for a refresher.

i heard that when he came back it caused a lot of c9nfusion with the hawaians. before Cook and his crew played along with the initial belief they were associated with Lono (not actually lono) but when they came back the hawaiians were understandably pissed and confused. in the "pissed and confused" period (which included the king being kidnapped) one of Cook's men panicked and shot a child, resulting in the melee which killed cook and forced his crew to flee the island. when the europeans returned they returned Cook's remains, things got smoothed over and Hawaii became a popular port for Europeans in the Pacific.

I just figured out you wrote the fault in our stars...... good book, good movie.

Dear, Mr. Green, your show is fantastic! Thank you so much!

the rhetorical questions are such a good demonstration of what I've learned in the Post-structuralism Anthropology!!

Just caught up on all of the crash course videos (not all in one day, of course). I absolutely LOVE thought bubble graphics!! Bravo for the neat and humorous artwork. Also bravo to you John (and Raoul Meyer) for writing and making the show so entertaining and educational.

*Gets excited when John mentions New Zealand* *cries when he continues to just say Australia* CCWH should have a special on NZ history, it's the most unique of the colonies since the British didn't treat the Maori anywhere as horribly as they treated the aboriginals and native Americans, and pretty much the only time a large majority of Maori died by the hands of the British was during the NZ civil war between the British and the Maori

Many of the enigmas John cannot resolve would be illuminated by examining James Cook's journals of his contact with Maori and other Polynesian peoples. Cook was an eighteenth century naval officer with all the limitations of world view this implies to a contemporary person. However, taking Cook's world view as an undiluted enlightenment intellectual's is as condescending of him as John condemns in other historian's attitudes toward the Hawaiians. Cook makes a number of humane and shrewd observations in his journals and certainly didn't fall into the "noble savage" trap of his contemporaries.

One things to be said is that Cook was a very compassionate person when he started his first voyage however he eventually became desensitised in his later voyages. A good example of this is how in his early voyages he ate what his men did in order to prevent scurvy however in one of his later voyages he forced his men to eat (either seal or walrus) as their food supply was in danger

Aloha (Hi) everyone. I live in Hawai'i and would like to comment that the Hawaiians obviously killed Cook because of a conflict that he wasn't prepared for. It's hard to say what the primary reason was. Hawaiians stealing, Cook disrespecting the buildings and people or some unknown cultural misunderstanding could have been the primary reason. But whatever it was he was probably not prepared because of the season. During the season of Lono it is forbidden to go to war. Also him showing up on a ship with a big white (sail) symbol of Lono probably made the first encounter much more civil. When he came back it was during the season of Ku, the god of war. So, Cook probably didn't change the way he conducted himself. The Hawaiians would have treated everyone different depending on the season. Cook probably didn't know that the politeness was only seasonal and that later people expected to go to war. So, Cook acted culturally very appropriate (initial arrival) and then very inappropriate (returning during season of WAR). I'm not sure if any Hawaiians thought he was Lono or just a representative. Old Hawaiian culture thought of gods, volcanoes and powerful people as being kind of similar in that they all have spiritual power known as Mana. It's like the ideas of qi, ki, or prana. Anyone or anything could have Mana and the important thing is how righteous (socially appropriate) the thing/person is. So, a Hawaiian saying "That's Lono" is not as big of a jump as a European saying "That's Jesus". They definitely thought he was important because you don't try to eat and absorb the Mana of just anyone. Yea, we ate him. Probably. Maybe. But Hawaiians weren't normally cannibals. Just if your name is "Cook".

It's kind of sad that he skips over the 50000 year history of Australia and the Polynesia island

@Questron71

7 жыл бұрын

well, what exactly did happen during that 50k years and how much of it can be shown by well sourced historical records? The show has gone pretty far out of its way to lay that down as ground rule during past episodes, e.g. the one about Mali and the african kingdoms... if we do not have much proper material to go by it doesn*t get an episode of its own. All the more if the happenings do not have much of a worldwide perspective so they would fit into the CCWH moniker of the series. Especially since he jumps over practically all of inner european history because it only led to one king, prince or duke having a bit more land to get wealthy from instead of another one... wars and big funny hats do not truly make you important to the whole of history and JG kind of thrives of going to spots where that is different and bigger perspectives wait to be observed. Polynesia and its cultures are fascinating, sure. But they are pretty isolated and "introverted" for most of these 50.000 years. Compare to China that undoubtedly had a giant impact on the world and its history... 99% of chinese history was gone through in a 30 second segment of "oh yeah, these are the dynasties / periods of it" and those 30 seconds also included a mongoltage...

At a young age I was taught that the Samoan word for Europeans was: Palagi. In some cultures like the Maori their representative word reflects how they see the world. Maori by the way means normal (or so I was taught). So anyone not Maori was by this meaning as "not normal". Back to Palagi. Which I can't spell with this keyboard cause the first A in Pa should have a bar above the letter A. The closest I can get is Pà which means explosion or break. "Uh Pà'a le mea" that thing is broken/exploded. Lagi the second half the word means Heaven. Or the close approximation to it. The first sittings were of clouds drifting in from the horizon (the sails) to the peoples of little island a vessel that to them was larger then life (because any ship bigger than what they could build were large ships were none existent). So the arrival would have been celebrated cause fair skinned peoples bringing new things were viewed as tidings of good fortune. BUT them returning limping and battered and seeking refuge would be a show of weakness. The Hawaiians probably sought to take what they viewed as easy pickings. Just my two cents.

I love history,John Green vids,and captain cook stories. I heard cook was fluent in a few polynesian languages and introduced the west to the idea of the amazing seafaring pacific island cultures all having the same origin. THE HAWAIIAN VERSION i heard around waiamea,kuaii was that cap'n cook had dissed and pissed off the locals,agreed to leave,started to leave,then came back with a few armed guys for survey equipment or something. Several armed islanders (including the young k'meameah in some accounts) intercepted cook on the beach. They didnt really want to fight guns with sharktooth clubs but hoped their bravery would scare off the haolis. One of the inexperienced white guys panicked and fired a wet or misloaded straightbore pistol and the ball bounced off an ali'i warrior's wooden armor. The islanders then cast aside all fear of firearms and get stabby. Cook survives long enough to drag himself to yhe ocean and attempt to swim to his boat but still died because the greatest western marine navigator in history COULDN'T SWIM. if its not accurate its still a good story.

My grandmother's second husband was an explorer, and spent a few years as president of the Explorer's Club in NYC. Lowell Thomas was a friend of his, and sent him a small hand carved boat along with a note. It stated the boat had been carved by a crew member from a branch of a tree under which Cook died. There is writing on the boat with a date. The boat was supposed to go to the Peabody Museum but he died shortly after and my grandmother gave me the boat. I need to get some imaging done of the writing on the boat and the note that came with it for proof as it is getting hard to read.

pumpSHO The Hawaiians were not cannibals per se, it was however apart of ritual to consume parts of an enemy or greatly venerated person once they were dead. They did not kill Cook with that purpose in mind, it is questionable if they were meaning to kill him at all. His crew attacked the village in retaliation, also seeking his remains. The frightened natives it is said, presented Cook's second in command with a newly cleaned skull, some flesh they suspected was human, and some bones of what would have been a very tall man (Cook was 6'2"); along with some clothes and belongs identified as belonging to the dead Commodore. The Hawaiians kept parts of Cook for iconic cultural practices, as they considered him to be legendary. The parts surrendered to his crew were given an honourary sea burial. His heart was probably eaten, and his flesh boiled of the bones like the medieval saints. Dismembered body parts carried around in a ceremony. So not eaten in entirety, but probably in some part, as a sign of respect in their culture.

Matthew Laurence yes that would be an European point of view, the flesh that the Hawaiians gave back to the English were his buttocks as a sign of contempt, the confusion if him being eaten is because he was "cooked" (lol cook was cooked) so his bones could be taken as trophies, which is common in Hawaii

pumpSHO Yes, that does seem a visible explanation, though they highly viewed him as someone of greatness, and islanders where asking European sailors about Cook decades after his death. We were not expressly taught that he was eaten, but it is a common knowledge thing here. Not saying your wrong. After all, I am in no authority to do so, as I know so little of Hawaiian culture.

You know Mr.JREEN, I think that all your videos are JOOD. Also what was that voice in the BACKJOUND

YOU MENTIONED US!!! THANK YOU!!!

pumpSHO ....... yea okay lol whatever you reckon 😂😂

Wow im from australia and I wont shut up. Fight me

Hilarious... funny way to learn. Thumbs up!

Thankyou for mentioning us

Captain Cook is pretty much the only part of Australian history that people all around the world know/care about. What about federation! Or even the fact that the allies would have definitively lost WW1 and WW2 if it wasn't for the Australians and New Zealanders. And what about the fact that Americans and Britons choose to overlook our involvement in the wars as footnote even though we struck Hitler his first fatal blow in the desert and he never won another battle!!! We Australians and New Zealanders (I'm both) have shaped the world more than anyone else gives us credit for!!! I want to see at least one Crash Course video on the real history of Australasia. Also with a focus on Maori and Aboriginal heritage.

What if he was killed because he introduced gonorrhea and the Hawaiians were not happy about that?

Brooke Charteris maybe they were talking about cook himself exploring? What times in the video did you see Maori? But Hawaiian and Maori are the most similar of each other compared to other Polynesian languages, not like that's on topic

I just saw an image pop up as they were explaining cook's encounter with hawaiians, It came up around 6:00 minutes into the video. Watching it again though they have put a little comment box in there saying that they weren't hawaiian though. I can't remember if that was there when I commented originally. If so, i just didn't see it. (sorry.)

Brooke Charteris oh hey they were....cool but possibly confusing

I read somewhere that Captain Cook asked a native Australian what the word for a certain marsupial was, and they said "kangaroo" which basically meant "what's this guy trying to ask me i don't speak English"
