The Complete History of China | Compilation 

For anybody who lived or knew people that lived in Asia after World War II, Japanese people in Asia were pretty much ostracized from the rest of Asia, whether they were involved in the war or not

John Rabe is one the most important forgotten humanitarians in history. He save so many lives and did so because of his understanding of Nazi Ideology. (He never lived in Nazi Germany. He was an expat who was arrested upon his return to Germany after the Nanking massacre.)

Glad to have you back. First history channel I got into

Fun fact about Tiananmen Square: That famous picture where the guy is standing in the way of the tanks? It’s not a picture, it’s a screenshot. There’s a whole video of him climbing all over the tank and _civilians_ pulling him off the tank to get out of the way. I feel most people assume he was run over or shot by the tank crew, but that’s not what happened.

4:19 One of the people that Qin Shi Huangdi sent out to find the elixir was Xu Fu, who (according to legend) traveled to Japan, introduced better farming technques to the locals, and later became revered as "the god of farming". Some historians have actually identified him with Emperor Jimmu, the first emperor of Japan.

The Xia, while not having any archeological evidence, is now seen to be most likely real due to how sophisticated the Shang was. It wouldn’t make much sense that nothing came before the Shang. By the way a traditional Chinese farmers hat is not the conical one you see. That’s more common in Vietnam, instead it is a straw hat that is mostly flat with a bulge in the middle with sometimes the sides drooping down (probably have to google a photo to see what I’m saying)

In fact, accessing certain websites through VPN is tacitly allowed, as long as you don't do anything that violates the law, just like in other countries.

3:00 "it doesn't translate well into English" the Spring and Autumn Period has to be my favorite name for a historical period of anywhere, ever. Whether it clearly translates I have no idea, but it has a poetic sound in English that just can't be improved on

Ohmy!! What have i stumbled upon. 1 min to go!! Been waiting for this upload!! Thanks suibne!!

Great work, as always! An animated history of the Balkan peninsula would be amazing!

This channel is the best and your videos are so engaging for curriculum.

That last bit about Hong Kong sure didn't age well.

3:49 Qin burning the books actully is more like an ancient version of censoring. He only burned the books about Confucianism, and some history books from other conquered countries, and he kept all copies of them in his library only for the scholars of the empire to study. what he didn't burn and allowed to be had by the public are engineering, medicine, and all other sorts of science and tech books. So, the point is, he just wants a really strong and united ideology, but understand the importance of technology and science. Which is very similar with China today.

the bit about Ming and Qing is a bit short, the Ming sent out Zheng He to establish the maritime silk road and went as far to Africa. While Qing establish the much of the boundaries of modern China.

Bro i don't think you know how happy i am that you are back!

Well done, definitely put a good amount of work into making this video. I always find documentary style information so interesting to learn about. I’ll definitely leave a like for ya, thank you 🙏

brilliant video as always

Ah yes the functional independence of Hong Kong still is a fact and saying otherwise will definetly not get you thrown in jail there

5:53 was it only me who yelled out " if it weren't for you meddling kids!" and got a picture of the Scooby gang thwarting Wang Mei?

Dynasties, periods, centuries, decades, melleniums, eras, timelines, times, timings, generations, and more of China is some of the most memorable and quotable especially during the Xia, Xhou, Shang, Song, Tang, And Ming points yeah.

you know its a good day when this guy makes a new video

Man, i love your videos! Id like to request a video that either re does, or CONTINUES from your mongolian video PAST medieval mongolia into the modern day

The throw back to crash course world history. Thank you for that

Been lacking a Suibhne upload

Interesting and engaging video, cheers

Another banger from Suibhne.

THE LEGEND IS BACK AGAIN

nice presentation :)

19:34 aged like milk.

1:23 I took a few Chinese classes in Belgrade and in one these the professor (a Chinese herself) showed us parallel pictures of earliest known chinese writing and what we here know as Vinča script Similarities are uncanny! I certainly do not endorse the classic Serbs older than amoeba theories But it's incredible to see such similar markings so far away Yet more or less the same age.

Make a video of the complete history of Greece!!

I love this channel

aww yea the channel is alive

Wait I thought your gonna do a full couple parts of china history

HES BACK

From Hong Kong here, this was a very interesting overview. I studied Chinese History in rushed, unorganized fragments during the pandemic, and this video really helped me wrap it all up, so I truly thank you for that. As for the Hong Kong part... well. A really teeny nitpick, but 7:27 西夏(xixia) should be 宋(song). The English part was correct, it was just the Chinese character. 西夏 is another nomadic tribe in the west between Song and Jin.

Good stuff wish it was 2 hours long instead of 20 mins

Do Canaan next plz

Hey where is the link to that other channel?

This was really good. I enjoyed it. I could definitely watch a much more in depth version of each of these events by you.

Can’t wait for the Egypt episode

While it's very important to only share specific information in China these days, it's also important to note that they're actually less authoritarian than some US states on certain things like some vice laws. This was very good and thorough overall. Some things weren't pronounced correctly like Zhou or Yue for example but that's neither here nor there. You're also smart by keeping these videos under 30 minutes. One thing, as a history nerd, that I get frustrated by is the number of 3h+ videos. I get the nuance is tough to explain in 30 minutes but it's so important to limit the size per video. Anyway, great stuff.

What software to make this animation

what is the source for the city banners?

5:26 Tarim Basin back then wasn't Turkic but more of a mixture of Tocharians, Sogdians, Turkics, Eastern Iranians and probably more

you know i think you could be a good historical comedy animator. Maybe you should give it a shot.

That hong Kong segment aged like milk

13:17 I had always heard the opposite: That the KMT did most of the fighting, while the CCP strategically avoided confrontation and let the KMT and Japanese weaken each other, just to march on the city right after the end of the invasion, taking advanrage of a weakened KMT.

Great job enjoyed this

I'd love to see a video on Hungary

Pls make a video about austria :)

@12:20 "An event you probably havn't heard of".. what? It's like one of a dozen things we learn about China in middle school.

Amazing video. Thanks xx

春秋translates into "Spring and Autumn" is so humorous!

Love your videos! I know the U.S. history is minuscule compared to these other nations, but I’d love to watch a video on your take of the United States.

Thanks

damn bruh where you find these songs, they fye

There are many errors in the video . . . 10:59 The country where KMT was founded is the “Republic of China / 中華民國” 🇹🇼，not the “Qing Dynasty / 大清” 11:24 “Kahan Balig / 大都” is the name of the city in the Yuan Dynasty. At this time in the film，during the Republic of China 🇹🇼，it was called：“Peiping / 北平”. After the rule of the People's Republic of China 🇨🇳，it was changed to its current name：“Beijing / 北京”. 13:30 In 1945，Taiwan Island was officially incorporated into the Republic of China 🇹🇼，so the color was dyed blue at this time. In 1949，the central government of the Republic of China 🇹🇼 retreated to Taiwan Island until today ～

13:00 what link below?

Very interesting. Good compilation.

15:30 "This video is illegal in China". :( Really great video! You treated this very complex & at times potentially incendiary subject matter with lots of respect while also listing the important facts to educate people interested in learning, and in talking about it. It would be so important for the Chinese to be allowed to be part of this conversation. :(

Is this a re upload?

We need the complete history of Denmark

The Tarim basin at the time was ethnically tocharian and Saka.

The crash course edit sent me. Subscribed for that.

You must do a video on South Africa the Cape of good hope era to modern day south africa

Is this video a reupload? Or did you just forget, what happened in Hongkong in 2019/2020?

4:47

Well, Hong Kong is basically China now. One country two systems did not last long.

the Hong Kong segment was interesting, learned some new history! Taiwanese American here

Can you do Greece?

00:11 Formation of Yellow River civilization and Sha Dynasty 02:34 Feudal system and rise of regional warlords. 04:41 Han Dynasty's aggressive foreign policy and cultural advancement 06:49 Tang China's influence and collapse 08:54 The collapse of the Juan and Ching dynasties led to China's fragmentation 11:02 Civil war and Japanese invasion led to tragic losses for China 13:06 China's Civil War and the Establishment of People's Republic in 1949 15:19 Modern China is culturally isolated 17:17 Hong Kong's transformation under British and Chinese influence. 19:04 Hong Kong's uncertainty post-handover

please do a video on Taiwan

hay just curious how to you research your history I’m trying to develop my own method so I’m just curious Suibhne P.S. I love your videos and I’m also a history fanatic. Oh and can you please put the sources in the description.

Still waiting until a video on Lithuania is made. It's been brought up for years, but hasn't gotten Its own video yet

Could you please do a video on Cuba?

Please Make video on Nepal 🇳🇵

Wonderful series!!!!

please do an episode on the Phillipines

2:49 det slår mig at jeg overhovedet aldrig nogensinde på nogensomhelst tænkelig måde kommer til at skulle bruge denne viden til noget, og at jeg er fuld

when will bro do US history

We haven't forgotten about the Nanking Massacre or the Japanese invasion of China and Asia. Not for a second!

The joke about paper 👌🏻

Please do the USA. A section about the Native Americans would be cool.

Its crazy how every culture has a great flood story

4:35 Wow, this looks just like what has been happening in the US for the past few years!

Trivia note: The U.S. game show The Amazing Race has been on for 35 Seasons, & they have traveled to China for 9 of them; 1, 6, 10, 14, 16, 18, 21, 24, & 28.

could you make a video about the history of Taiwan? Please.

As an asian american, let me just give some insight about the mindstate of Japan at the point. Value of human life wasn't on the same standard as europe at that time and the difference was day and night in that era, Japan being severely worse due to their isolation nature (outside of trade with china and korea) and warrior culture. Raping and pillaging was pretty much outlawed by professional european armies by the mid to late 1700s and east asia still living by mediveval standards in terms of value of life and taking in japan's extreme warrior culture (their value of life was considerebly lower and looked at as crazy by koreans and chinese during the 1600-1900s and raping and pillagin was still fresh to Japan's society at that time.

brief and correct introduction ❣from mainland chyna

7：41的地图 宋成西夏了

Can u make an animated video about the history of Iran? Iran has one of the richest histories in the world.

The date in the upper left corner is kind of hard to read

Kazakhstan please!

Bulgaria video ? or Balkans ?

1: There is also a huge controversy in China about the existence of the Xia Dynasty. But we are not arguing about its existence. Rather, we have excavated a large number of historical products of the same period or even earlier than the Xia Dynasty to prove that there was a huge dynasty or a huge dynasty before the Shang Dynasty. Kingdom, but the problem is that we have not excavated this textual proof to prove the Xia Dynasty 2: It is simply ridiculous that Yunnan and Guizhou and other regions are not from the Qin Dynasty. You must know that Qin Shihuang sent Zhao Tuo to lead more than 100,000 troops to capture Baiyue. It is today's Vietnam area and it was ruled here until the Qin Dynasty was overthrown by Xiang Yu and Zhao Tuo declared independence. Therefore, there was no Yungui in the early Han Dynasty. I understand that there was still the saying that Yelang was arrogant at that time. But by the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, both Yunnan and Guizhou and parts of Vietnam, including the Korean Peninsula and Part of the Western Region (Xinjiang) was in the hands of the Han Dynasty😅

6:48 Why Is Thai's established in the 500s CE? They didn't become an empire until 1300s CE

I caught your joke about paper.. nice 👍

The flooding wasn't accidental, it was tactical. Republic of china had german military adisers that recommended this tactic due to inferior training and equipment compare to the imperial japanese army. Is it cruel to drown that many civilians? It sure was. But it happend.

7:30 wait did he just say French tribe?
