This is what I needed in history class

A succint and imaginative documentary of what is usually considered a different period to precis. Well done.

50:16 The story of the Pilgrims is a bit different than told here. First, in 1609, this group of rather zealous religious, puritan people fled England via Amsterdam to Leiden in the more religiously liberal Dutch Republic as they felt persecuted in England for their religion. They founded a church in Leiden, when they moved there to escape the conflicts in Amsterdam between English refugees already there. Then after some 11 years in Leiden, where they kept away from other English religious groups in Leiden led by reverent Robert Dury because they found them not puritan enough, they decided to leave Leiden for the New World, basically because they found Leiden too regiously liberal. In the colonies they hoped to be no longer bothered by other religious groups they simply couldn't stand. They were the ultimate religious hypocrites.

These videos really are quite superb I particularly enjoy the well blended narratives of social, political, religious, economic history etc. 👍

This 40,000 ft. Cruise 🚢 across Europe & Environs is simply Astounding and Revelatory. Just enough detail to fill in the gaps of knowledge & memory, and show how TimeSpace events sequence and relate to future developments. Looking forward to absorbing more of your work... ❤ 🎉 🎉

You know most of recorded history, until we adopted a strict scientific method to try removing as much bias as possible & help them recognizing bias by past authors, whether it was unintentional personal beliefs influencing a previous historians work, or whether it's intentional bias by those in charge wanting to use intentionally biased works to indoctrinate citizens, while justifying their horrific behaviors and actions towards the peoples they conquered. Trying to "other" them as outsiders & make them appear as lesser beings, savages, and other negative stereotypes, indoctrinating their citizens to believe their civilized society is preordained by God to conquer these lesser people, in order to civilize these savages, and spread the word of God to peoples who've never heard the gospel. But these are all fake, biased information found in early history books, and early journals, not meant to record first hand accounts as accurately as possible, these are intentionally biased writings trying to influence the thinking of their own citizens, having them believe their doing something good for these different indigenous societies, rather than knowing their government is creating atrocities, slavery, and genocide of different people groups who don't have the same level of weapon technology to defend themselves. This has been a common example of what almost every empire & invader, throughout human history has done, use history as propaganda. But today's academic historians are usually held to a code of ethics, attempting to create an accurate account, while using the scientific method to be aware of as much bias as possible, and remove as much bias as possible before publishing their work in a scientific journal, or magazine that holds authors to an ethics code So future generations will have a reliable & accurate historical account, that attempts to remove any intentional or unintentional bias from creeping into the works. Also trying to stop dishonest people who pull snippets & quotes out of context, to share with their followers, and get an emotional rise from their biased audience who stay stuck in an echo chamber, but never checking the sources or first hand accounts, where they pulled the out of context quotes, making it appear your scholarly historical accounts support their personal ideology. And spreading false info all over the Internet, ten times faster than a post debunking these false claims. Like they say, the winners get to write the history books. And they make themselves appear totally justified in their actions against supposed "barbaric & savage" peoples, who they claim attacked them while they were on a peaceful diplomatic mission attempting to open a two way dialogue, or establish a treaty opening trade between these two groups. Often, falsely claiming in their accounts that these lesser technologically developed peoples, tried to use an unjust surprise attack to kill everyone in their peaceful diplomatic mission. So they were forced to retaliate to save their lives, ships, and goods they relied on . Making it seem like these violent people's were trying to wipe everyone out so they could take all the ships, weapons and various goods for themselves. And making it appear that these "violent peoples" are lacking the experience to understand that peaceful trade, and diplomatic missions, with colonials would have been a better long-term option for peacefully gaining access to new technologies, better weapons, more foods & alcohol from various countries around the world. While never admitting to their own people that they are actually conquering these newly discovered people & claiming control over their lands, oppressing them into submission , while they extract & ship home as much resources & wealth they're able to strip from the conquered lands and peoples. And if the people didn't have the type of wealth Europeans valued, like silver & gold, then they would turn the people themselves into a form of value by putting them into bondage, selling them into slavery, or working them to death as forced labor. Building the infrastructure colonials needed to efficiently extract all the wealth & resources as fast as possible. All the whole writing propaganda to influence the people back home. Attempting to appear as if they are helping these people, rather than showing first hand accounts of them committing various atrocities against people all around the world.

Great job! Summarizing Early Modern history couldn't have been easy. A couple of well-meant critiques, because this channel seems worth the effort. They're minor: 1) Is that a real narrator? Sounds AI. When you can, hire a real person to read. Though I must say, great job on some of these pronunciations. 2) The ending was abrupt. I would have liked a general, not too opinionated, overview of how Early Modern grew from what came before, and how it influenced the Age of Revolutions that came later. History does include analysis. Other than that, thumbs up!

The Anabaptists were not radically anti-war at the beginning; Anabaptists were blamed to be leaders in the German Peasants War, and then there was the Muenster episode. Anabaptist pacifism was rather a response to the early persecution.

The map shown at 1:28 is anachronistic. At that time no ships, nor of this type would say around continents containing the countries named ... irritating ... will this go on for another hour?

The Renaissance and Reformation were both part of a general questioning of the established way of doing things. But the Renaissance pioneers divided over the Reformation.

I would thought that life in some parts of Europe became particularly savage with sporadic brutal close up wars and torture that lasted 200+ years after the Protestant Reformation circa 1525 - 1760.

The influence of the Dutch Revolt / 80 years war on Europe is rather undersold in this documentary, if you ask me. And the wars on the British Isles (three kindoms, Cromwell) rather oversold. It was basically the Dutch Republic's model of government (also lead by Prince William of Orange as Stadtholder) and division of power assigned by the highest authority in the land (the States-General in the Dutch Republic and Parliament in England) to the Stadtholder of the Republic / King of England that was implemented in England under William and Mary. The idea a ruler should serve his people well, instead of the other way around comes directly from the Dutch declaration of independence (Act of leaving, 1581) and arguably inspired both the French Revolution and the American declaration of independence. The Dutch Republic leadership also wasn't based on divine power, but by elections in the States-General (which at the time obviously was mainly populated by nobility, some religious figures and rich merchants. Men only)

I'm not even from from part of the Commonwealth but in my head I hear divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived.

(At 2:56) "... millions of copies of books ..." Not quite. You seem to be alluding to 20th/21st century publishing, where indeed millions can be sold. But less than ("...nearly ...") 40,000 titles with ten million copies suggests about 250 to 300 copies per title - one per library - including Royal and Ecclesiastical libraries - and a few extra for the (very few) private scholars who were extremely interested in the particular subject - and successful enough to be able to afford the price. OK - 'twas cheaper (and MUCH better than) a manuscript copy - but still quite pricey.

Fabulous era. Great architecture. Great art. Philosophy. Writing. Discovery. Today, people openly discuss and celebrate being a witch so I’m not entirely convinced they didn’t exist then.

This video is full of reasons to quit Christianity but not the basic teachings of Jesus of Nazareth. My own conversion to Buddhism 53 years ago was based on what I saw at church and how it translated into the life I lived as a child with my parents. They were penitent and generous at church and then turned on me and my siblings perpetrating unutterable crimes. The disconnect was so great I began to follow the Dharma after having researched Buddhism as an assignment at boarding school. The Buddha's teachings are clear, simple, and make practical sense. I learned to meditate and began my journey along the Eightfold Path. There are practical solutions and clear remedies to be found in the Dharma, things that a child can understand very easily. In contrast, the more I learned about the Christian faith the less I saw of any value. Jesus of Nazareth was a gifted healer and teacher of love and compassion and is considered among Buddhists to be Bodhisattva or an enlightened being. Those who follow His teachings are whom I call "true" Christians, without the trappings of everything in this video: the Vatican, indulgences, the concepts of Heaven and Hell, the ideas of transubstantiation and prohibition of having direct contact with the Eternal. Only priests who were either as corrupt as their church teachers or entered the priesthood without knowledge of the evil flowing out of today's Vatican and Christian practice, distorted to encourage the giving of alms to the church and the sale of indulgences, a concept I find utterly abominable, had a direct line to God. There is a comparison that is very easy to see between Roman Catholicism and Buddhism. The Pope travels on his own plane, paid by worshipers around the world. He has a fleet of ground transport vehicles that are flown in a separate custom aircraft that is purpose-built for large vehicles, including something that is referred to as "the popemobile". The Pope is completely inaccessible to the lay believer. Contrast the luxuries inherent in being Pope with the life of His Holiness the Dalai Lama. He flies economy class on commercial airlines and takes either a taxi or rides with a volunteer upon touching down at His destination. He accepts gifts freely given and never pressures anyone for money. though He does give paid appearances funded by the audience attendees. It is also possible for someone like me or you to make an appointment with Him for a private audience without charge. The contrast is breathtaking. I prefer the latter. My sister, an Episcopalian Deacon, has told me that, because of my beliefs, I'll be going straight to Hell when I die. She is a woman who has been denied the priesthood, has a son who is a convicted felon and perjured herself in court sending an innocent man to prison for five years. When she told me this, she had no remorse for what she had done and worried only that she would be prosecuted for perjury as well as having her law licence revoked. My own life isn't perfect. I have served as a Registered Nurse, five years of which was in critical care. I still have my license and continue to practice when called upon in the senior housing facility where I live. This is my 54th year of nursing practice. I ask the reader to compare and make their own choices.

As for yourself instead, I don't disagree on the point of the catholic church being corrupt, but do not idolize the Dalai lama either, he's as much of a creep as many priests out there.

Quite a fancy view of Europe. But not exactly the point of view of all Europe. It seems very far from the reality of South Europe imo. It seems too positive. And with some lack of appreciation for the deeds made then specially from the Ortodox and Catholics, the Europeans. Too Anglo-Saxon biased... 😅 Another product of the machine and their neon god.

those chronological historical divisions are artificial and misleading . Each country has a different pace of change and particularities that no other country has. Swtzerland is a good example of a country whose history does not fit in any of the traditional models. Netherlands also is very unique, and so are the scandinavian countries. France seems to be the model for the traditional chronogical division of history, but no other country fits in those model as well as France.

Thank you for this very informative and scholarly piece of work.

How perfectly Christ Jesus illustrated the genuine Christians from the counterfeit Christians, and how they would be allowed to grow together until they could be clearly identified at harvest time, in his illustration of the weeds and the wheat, recorded at Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43. What a relief for the human family, when these wolves, these weeds, are soon destroyed by forces under the direction of the United Nations. Revelation 17: 1-7, 15-17 Revelation 18:4-24

Instead of creating even further schisms, the protestants should have simply returned to the Orthodox Christian faith of the Eastern Roman empire. But there was too much pride.

The religious split in Early Modern Europe is described as a division between Protestant and Catholic regions. Why does it ignore the Eastern Orthodox churches of Greece, Russia (the western part of which is in Europe), and what are now Ukraine, Serbia, Georgia, Romania, Moldova, etc.? In fact, there are (and were) many more Orthodox Christians than Protestants in Europe. This continues a sad disregard and ignorance of a massive part of Europe by western Europeans who wrote the histories that are now way out of date. Update your sources.

I would look for other countries history.
