British Guy Reacting to The History of The Entire World, I Guess 

i love this video who would have thought you started with American football and ended up here lmao

luka dont worry about pausing. we're here to see your reaction. if we wanted to see it without pausing we could watch the original video.

history of japan, also by bill wurtz when did the us and uk become allies, by history matters

When you realize that Britain actually has had more influence on the world than probably even the US. For example, that Israeli-Palestine Conflict, that started with Britain and France dividing the Ottoman Empire. Also, Hong Kong used to belong to the UK (a reason why they are upset with China today). It's crazy how much each thing influences other things.

"I'm scared I've learned everything and nothing at the same time". Yep, that sums it up perfectly.

I think the reason I like your reactions is you genuinely seem to enjoy learning about new things, and it’s fun watching you dig into these topics. I usually don’t watch reaction channels besides yours.

my man nearly died when he found out about the Opium Wars lmao

Yes there was east and west pakistan. I'm pakistani, I know

You should also react to the history of Japan by the same guy

You have to react to “How the universe is way bigger than you think” or “The Ocean is deeper than you think”! Both very educational, but fun videos! I also recommend Sam O’Nella Academy! His channel is hilarious

I like how you learned about your own country's history you didn't know before

Thurston, honestly...I love sports and they're an essential part of our lives. Your reactions to them are great, and I don't want you to give that up by any means. But these new videos about history, weather, science, etc. are a lot more substantive and enlightening, which we all could benefit from. I'm enjoying seeing you learn, and I'm enjoying learning along with you. So please do keep it up, and I think doing at least one of these a day wouldn't be overdoing it. I subbed well over a year ago for your sports reactions, but I'm having more fun watching this new content. I've told you before that you're a very astute and thoughtful person, which makes you the perfect type for reaction videos...you seem very genuine unlike a lot of reactors who just try to put on a show. Appreciate it, and appreciate the time you put into your channels.

Someone suggested it already but watch "When did Britain and America stop hating each other?" By History Matters. And he's got a lot of good videos in general. They're all short so you can do a lot of them.

I remember my 7th grade history teacher showed this to us and said to take notes. We were all scrambling around to write everything and when it finished he collected all the papers and just threw them away. Loved that teacher.

that`s how EVERY it gets man, those still seconds are my absolutely favourite!

That video taught me more in fifteen minutes than my entire AP World History class. I credit my 2 on the AP Test to that guy.

pausing is good. your actually reacting when that happens instead of just watching it.

End of video: "By the way, where the hell are we?" Start of Video: "Hi. You're on a rock, floating in space."

Oh yeah bro the Opium Wars were a whole deal.

I enjoy the pause and reactions. Its fun and adds texture to your show.

Hey react to how big the universe actually is

I love how when people react to this they stop, pause, and react to the first 5 minutes, then they're completely silent for the rest. Information overload.

Dude when it said NO....THE SUN IS A DEADLY LAZER, I died. Dead. Done. Deceased 😂😂😂this video is great.

React to the cold war by oversimplified, please.

Check out: "The Fallen of World War Two." I know you like charts in basketball videos so this will be a great visualization for you!

and you wonder why this is a masterpiece because it took almost one year to extract all the information from start to finish 11 months to be exact great reaction mate.

I've watched a few people react to this video and yours is actually very entertaining in comparison. Knowing when to pause and how much to say is pretty difficult but it seems like you've got a good understanding of what makes for good content. Like someone else in the comments said, don't worry about the pausing. Your reaction is what this video is about.

Dude I love watching your reactions! I just watched your American civil war videos last night and I went down a 2-hour Wikipedia rabbit hole reading about it and Abraham Lincolns assassination. Like you said in a previous video it’s interesting watching a non-American learn about America and its history. I was waiting for you to get to this video because it’s literally one of the best in all of RU-vid. There’s so much information condensed into such a small amount of time and lots of historical humor sprinkled throughout. So glad you enjoyed it! Keep it up mate! You have a subscriber in me! Cheers! Edit: Next you have to watch “History of Japan”. It’s by the same guy and just as good only on a smaller scale. It’s like the little brother to this video.

I think that you'd enjoy Salmonella Academy. Funny history bits

This was fun! I could not begin to count all the times I've watched Reactions to this video, and like yours? They're always fun!

I feel like there would be 98% more historians in the world if all history teachers worked liked Bill. Took him over a year to create this masterpiece, and it shows. Just brilliant.

Found your channel last night and stayed up late watching it. Cool to see you reacted to this video today.

You just reacted to a top 10 RU-vid video of all time!!

The History of the Entire World I Guess May be the greatest video ever made. I’ve seen it a dozen times, seen several dozen people react to it and it just never gets old!

Before too much longer this man won't have the same accent

I watch this every month after I learn more in history class to see what I get

this makes learning about the earth fun

History of the entire world I guess is one of the masterpieces in internet content.

I was wondering when you'd get to this one! Another good one sir.

Next you should react to the French Revolution by oversimplified

Love your program. Im glad I came by it. My younger brother traveled through many parts of Europe. He loves London and he told me so much of then the English Empire and Ancient France. He's also brilliant about Languages and how they originated and moved throughout civilization. Watching your videos has help me understand and recognize a lot of what he's been telling me. I've grown a much better understanding Geographically and historically. Thank you.

I can honestly appreciate good contents like that. No extra bs. Very simple and very educational. Even the editing is simple. I can think of millions of videos that has more work put into it with 10x less the views this one got

Fun fact. The island of Great Britain is 209,331 square km in size. Which if you compare it to the US it would be the 16th largest by square kilometers. It is about the same size as Kansas and Nebraska, and just a little bit larger than Oklahoma. While being half the size of California, and under 1/3rd of the size of Texas. You could react to the September 11th terrorist attacks.

History of Japan by him is a must watch

When you say how surprised you are and how did you not know this... it's understandable. Whenever someone finds education (even if it's comical/mostly factual), that's a good thing. Let us know in your reaction that you're spreading your thoughts to your friends. Never preach, but give out the question... "What do you guys think about this?".

This man made a joke and somehow made it SO STINKING ACCURATE HOW DID HE DO THIS

The opium wars are a very interesting thing to learn about.

When I say that I have anxiety, I always sing it like the way bill wurtz sings "Society"

"I've been looking forward to this."

The word to describe this video, comprehensive, its quick but wtf for history of everything it gets so much in

I would suggest The Fallen of WW2 by Neil Halloran It’s equal parts educational, mesmerizing and horrifying all at once. As a person who loves history, I think you will enjoy it.

I love your reaction videos! From Canada 🇨🇦

as someone who remembers this video dropping way back when, I love watching peoples reactions to it. it truly is a masterpiece.

You’re a legend ma love your videos keep up the great content also I hope your neck is feeling better

Thats awesome you're reacting to this video. One of the most iconic internet videos tbh

It’s so nice to see I’m not the only one who is watching every single reaction to this vid on Yt

never feel bad about pausing. we're here for your takes

GREAT REACTION! I've been down a rabbit hole watching reactions to this. It was uplifting seeing a brit acknowledge the european influence and its consequences. Clearly the UK doesn't teach its citizens about what its done to the world. (That's a dig on Governments, not you. Loved the reaction) Sincerely, -an American Gen Xer whose pissed off that after all that time, after industrial revolution, after "world peace", after technology revolution, we're still arguing about whether everyone should eat.....or be sheltered from the elements.....or exist with a different opinion....without being owned by someone else. 🖖🏼

I love your videos, I feel like I'm learning things I never knew before right along with you. Never even heard of these over simplified videos they are amazing! I'm hooked now.

damn bro you're almost at 40K!

Never saw this; enjoying your more current vids. Among your first geography/history vids, I take it. Good decision, all in all - sports is relatively cut and dried; this kind of stuff, however, blows one's mind in a number of ways. Cheers!

Just want to let everyone know that Eddie Van Halen died today at 65.

The entire video (the one you are reacting to) is super entertaining but very in accurate

"I feel like I've learnt everything and nothing at the same time" History!

There was a podcast interview with Bill Wurtz. I think he said this video took everything out of him and it took him like 11 months to make it.

Enjoy the reactions man top notch

Hey I'd be really interested to see you react to the extra history Opium wars series if you'd like to learn about some more British history. I really like a lot of their older stuff and some of the new series are alright though its an entirely different group working on them.

I agree. MASTERPIECE

You gotta watch this one about 4 or 5 times to really soak it all in.

So glad ur reacting to this

you can watch as many of oversimplified’s videos and also the history of japan video as you want, this is a pretty good rabbit hole to get into lol

you wont believe how many times ive watched this, original and reactions cos its just so awesome lol

Creativity? Amazing. Musical Talent? Huge. Animation? Godly. Hotel? NO THE SUN IS A DEADLY LASER.

the quarks are especially mind blowing

If I remember right he spent a whole year on this single video to get everything squared away as factual as possible. He definitely tried to do his research haha

bill wurtz actually posted this video the day before the advanced placement tests for high school history (US). idk if england has them, but APs are a really hard class and then a standardized test. this video was a godsend

I’ve watched this twice on your channel and probably over a hundred times in general

Just liked and subscribed, you look like an awesone dude :)

Yep, Bangladesh was originally “East Pakistan” and Pakistan was “West Pakistan”... Basically the British just called the two major areas with predominantly Muslim populations in the East and West both “Pakistan”, despite the fact that West Pakistan was mostly filled with Hindustani people and Bangladesh was filled mostly with Bengali people; two very different ethnic groups

I'm really happy for you man. Keep grinding!

Wow that was intense, so much info and a never ending video

the first time i watched this, my brain hurt

Extinction Ball! I burst out laughing at that (no pun intended)

Awesome video, one thing though just in case you werent aware: youtube has this feature now called Nightmode which gives you a cool, crisp darker layout which is overall more visually pleasent, check it out, if you like it, use it :)

Holy shit, you actually reacted to that video.

Whoever made this is so damn funny and genius!!!

Bull Wurtz is so good - he has a lot of short videos that are fun. He plays all of the instruments, does all of the graphics, edits everything & sings on all of them. Highly recommended! “Outside” is one of my favorites.

Love your reactions Luka and love how you have expanded beyond sports

Heyyyy said the romans eating the entire Mediterranean for breakfast 😂

You seemed to be shocked over the opium wars, there's a really good video series by Extra Credits about it

I love the history videos you’ve done lately.

22:12 look at that smile... you funny boi it's like the face when I find UK drifting away from the EU

As someone who has followed Bill Wurtz for a while, this was a HUGE deal when it came out because he put his channel on hiatus for almost a year to make the one video

doing a great job. i am surprised i never saw it before either

Dude don't apologize for pausing that's why we watch reactions to listen to your views

Also Jules Verne talked about the opium commerce from UK to China in one of his most popular books from that age (1872) "Around the world in 80 days".

Magnus opus of the maker. He had to check so much different history of the world. I know my Eurocentric history but i have not that much of an idea of Asia history...ofc some things are scratched like Egypt and so on but in 20+ minutes it's funny and pretty accurate. Fantastic

You're great in these history vids! Keep it up, man!

You should react to After Ever After 1, 2, 3 by Paint. It is a hilarious parody of the Disney Princesses if they were in modern day.

The channel Extra Credits has a pretty good series of videos on both the first and second Opium Wars, since you said you never heard about it
