Obviously only the UK, France, and Germany are paid attention to or we wouldn't call it WW1 and WW2 as those labels only apply to those 3 nations being at war and not the actual ongoing conflict. Sadly the true state of affairs is never touched on and other peoples only get mentioned in context to these 3. If the UK isn't in danger then it isn't a war apparently.

Fun fact: the early US government also relied heavily on tax on alcohol. By the end of the 19th century up to 25% of the federal tax revenue came from alcohol sales. It is due to Prohibition that the federal income tax rose to become the primary source of revenue.

@@TheRezro Today's British monarchy are German. "UK's royals and the Nazis George's son Edward VIII became king in 1936. Less than a year later, he abdicated for love and married Wallis Simpson, an American divorcee. His brother Albert ascended the British throne as George VI. At the time, the Nazis and Adolf Hitler had long since gained a firm grip on Germany, with the world watching the Third Reich with interest and skepticism. Edward and Albert's mother, Queen Mary, insisted that her sons not forget their German roots - after all, they also had plenty of relatives in Hitler's Germany. For his part, Edward openly showed sympathy for the Nazis. One photo taken in 1937 shows the duke and his wife smiling and shaking hands with Hitler. Just a few years ago, a video emerged showing Edward and his sister-in-law practicing the Hitler salute with two little girls - Margaret and Elizabeth, with the latter one day becoming the queen of England. The snippet was filmed by Elizabeth's father, King George VI. To this day, the British do not like to be reminded of the at times cordial relations of the British aristocracy with the German Nazis, trying as much as possible to keep evidence of such connections under wraps. How German is King Charles III? The mother of Queen Elizabeth II was British, so she was only partly of German descent - even if she did display some stereotypical German virtues throughout her life, including discipline and a sense of duty. Her husband Philip, however, had predominantly German ancestors and spoke fluent German. In 1947, he became a British citizen and, shortly before his marriage to Elizabeth, relinquished his German title of nobility and called himself only "Mountbatten." Their eldest son, the new King Charles III, has a bloodline made up of roughly half German ancestors".

Bro my first period in college was canceled AND a new video came out? It’s a miracle of God!

I'm an Israeli jew with ancestors from Ukraine. When my family talked about the pale of settlement they actually talked about it as a good thing. The reason being that part of russification was attempting to turn the jews from wandering nomads into agricultural productive peasants. Believe it or not bur many jews were actually happy about it (at least temporarily). They received land and Catherine also opened Ukraine up for jews. Catherine was technically supposed to kick out all of the jews as her predecessors had done before with the lands they conquered from Poland, but instead she allowed them to stay and while yes they couldn't leave the pale, the pale was pretty much all of the territories that were taken from Poland plus a lot of Ukrainian land. Nowadays Catherine is portrayed in schools as a pretty good monarch especially in comparison to those who came before and after her, and most of the violence against jews in the pale is seen as the fault of the average man rather than the government. Obviously this was both the fault of the average man and the government, but it was more the government allowing violence to continue, rather than the government creating violence (like in nazi Germany or the Spanish Inquisition).

You seem to be rather welcoming to notes from the slavic folks who so happen to have more in-depth knowledge of some specific questions. This is truly heartwarming to see. Many pointed out the origin of eastern slavs, piece which I can't exactly evaluate, though I've studied the Soviet industry in more depth. Would be glad to provide some of my knowledge if anyone has deeper interest! What is often misrepresented in the popular sources is the academic consensus on reasons of the Holodomor and other early soviet famines. While it is clear the famine was largely accelerated and/or caused by the confiscations of grain, the death toll of the famine itself was an unintended consequence. There is a lack of historical evidence pointing to the deliberation. The soviet management is guilty of criminal negligence, failure to prevent starvation rather than aiming for it.

Can you do the History of Romania when you have time?

You should make a video of the US Empire/Hegemony too

17:48 i imagine "With the lord my protector" being heard for miles on end.

Im usually not a fan of long video, but yours are one of the few exception that I think benefits from it.

33:25 Marx's 10 point plan was followed by the Bolsheviks perfectly, it was not Marxist doctrine that said the state would fade away and many of Marx's contemporaries like Russian Mikhail Bakunin said Marx's plan was nothing more than the worship of state power. What Marx actually said was, "the class system would be abolished and the state would no longer be necessary to enforce the interests of one class over another". So totalitarianism would no longer be needed since the entire population would have no desire to fight back. This is why the Soviets and their acolytes like China were the ultimate example Marx's ideals. In practice unless Marxism enslaves the entire globe it will conform to the world around it. So no Marx never said the state would fade away!

Finally a video after 1 year

Good to have you back man!

The NED didn't cheap out on this one. Truly a masterpiss!

This was an outstanding summary of Russian history in a way which was accessible and told fairly. Please do more of these long form videos. Especially of Poland 🇵🇱

The history of Poland fits into the phrase "They came to divide us again." It's just a joke...But there is a part of the truth in every joke

I love your videos, I learn so much every time I watch one. Totally love the long format

Thank you for coming back to us ❤❤❤

amazingly informative video❤

​@@SuibhneI can't believe it's been 6 years since I first discovered the channel... Well that and also requesting Lithuania for 6 years after the Poland video

This is properly amazing stuff. What a video and I love the new projection of the channel

Could you do Egypt at some point? I really like your style and would love to hear and watch you do the Unification through to greek Egypt and ol' Cleo and even on to modern Egypt and the invasion of Israel (sensitive topic at the moment I know, maybe thats a good thing for the algorithm? I dont know). Kinda like your Italy videos! Anyways, thanks for doing what you do! Rock on and have a wonderful day!

I love this new video format, please keep doing this.

Thank you for an awesome video! I was a history and political science major - don’t use it in my career but love everything about history! Your video was excellent and accurate and I learned new stuff I didn’t know before - thank you! In a side note - Ticket to Ride is one of my favorite board games and appreciate that you have it on camera behind you at the end of your video. Thank you again and best wishes for happiness, health, and success!

Russia's history is fascinating, exciting, and all too often brutal beyond imagining; and has been something I've been a little obsessed by since high school. It's strange and yet also not at all to see that so many of the modern state's prerogatives, problems and obsessions were seeded hundreds of years ago.

Wouldn't call it more brutal than any other part of the planet. Powerful and corrupt commit crimes, kind of comes with being corrupt while having power.

please keep in mind that its all from western perspective and doesnt include circumstances leading to certain decisions. i would also doubt the amount of research gone into this video. it gets clear when he claims putin wanted russian empire back. means the author was to stupid or lazy to read 2 sentences further.

Top tier video, as always 🤘🏾

Love the new format.

Any men who learned history: What is your source? Suibhne: I've made them up

45:17 опять же где отрезок с Ельциным, ну где он белый дом с танка расстрелял, где шоковая терапия, где "Семибанкиршина"? И опять какие там олигархи поставленные, ладно, но как он избавился от старых, он не просто их убил или посадил? Были же причины?

So glad your back! Hope all is well with you

Your videos are always entertaining and informing! Thank You!

Some kind of Krautism.

1:52 - Thank you for not including the great Republic of Moldova in the Soviet Union, you've a dream map for millions)
