This channel is so great that I successfully passed my university's course of history only by watching this video. I have to thank and congratulate you from the bottom of my heart. Keep up the great work
Why so many criticisms, someone spent time and a good deal of effort to put this together. The odd bit of bad grammar, hell who cares. The narrator, far better than some. To all those negatives out there. Could you do something like this?
This was so good! Just the right speed and excellent transitions between the interweaved topics. The 19th century, and thus the base of much of modern Europe, now makes much more sense to me. This must have been a big effort to make, thanks so much!
What is wild about this is I learned about all these 18th century tech innovations by playing Empire Total War. I knew about the industrial revolution in general and some innovations but some of these specifics like the flying shuttle and spinning Jenny, I saw in the game.
The title made me think of an instructor I had in college who always said the 20th century didn’t start until 1912 😂 thanks for the memory, and the great video!
This is my kind of history: social, military, art, invention, demographics, economics . . . .a bit of everything but more importantly how each played a part in the events discussed. Remember to ALWAYS remain sceptical but not cynical: go read about this century from multiple sources and perspectives . . . . . 😊
The second sentence says something wrong: you say "wind and water was replaced with coal and steam". There was no replacement, there was an addition. The 19th century saw a huge increase in the use of the power of wind and water. It is very important to change our phasist representations of the history of materials and energies, there were only accumulations and, to use a notion developed by the historian JB Fressoz, symbioses: the use of materials and energies increases in symbioses: more coal allows the use of more wind, and vice versa. More wood allows the use of more coal, and vice versa, etc. Otherwise, congratulations for the work done, it’s huge! Even if I would have preferred without music.
1:10 Sri Lanka was not under the British until 1815. Before then, it was Portuguese and Dutch, and even then they never controlled the whole islsnd, only the coasts.
Thank you for presenting this documentary - There are tons of videos on battles - but very few covering the Acceptance of the Enlightenment ideals in Europe . At the beginning of the Victoria's reign in Britain in 1837 , in the horrific working conditions of the industrial revolution , the average life expectancy was 39 years old . Then we see the Chartist movement and their 6 points and the 3 Parliamentary Reform Acts . By the time of Queen Victoria 's death in 1901, all males in Britain had the vote . A stable democratic government allowed commerce to flourish , slavery in the Atlantic was phased out, there was public sanitation , parks , transportation ( subway ) , child labour was ended by making schooling mandatory , industrialization increased manufacturing , A National Transportation System ( Railways ) and Communication System followed ( telegraph and mail ) allowed the follow of goods and information . Improvements in metal and glass fabrication allowed prefabricated metal frame buildings ( green houses , KEW gardens and Chrystal palace ) .
Amazing video man. Really enjoying it. Please let me know what you call the image you use at 36:28. I'd love to know. Thanks again dude. Have subscribed and anticipate watching all your other videos!
I love the age of empires in the 19th century. Like it or hate it, it was impressive. Especially with the British Empire encompassing a quarter of the world's population and land surface. And the British Empire exists today in the form of the British Commonwealth. It really shines on their accomplishment as an Empire that the Commonwealth is alive and healthy while membership is VOLUNTARY.
The 'long 19th century' lasted from 1789 until 1914, hence the 'long' adjective. It was a period when the old regimes and social structures of the 18th century were interrupted by the French Revolution and the Napoleonic wars, followed by national uprisings and wars in Italy and Germany that caused the unification of these countries. The last period being one of growing prosperity and industrialisation from 1871 to 1914, with WW1 finally putting an end to that relatively golden age. The 'short 20th century' followed the long 19th century; this period lasting from 1914 until the fall of the USSR in 1991. The short 20th century referring to the age of extreme, utopian ideologies, from fascism to communism, the two world wars and the cold war in the last phase.
Seeing this video , emphasizes that its important to see the political ideas of the Enlightenment , that began in England / Scotland in the late 17th Century , spread and slowly became ACCEPTED over a 300 year period . . - the Acceptance of Democracy , and Meritocracy replacing Aristocracy - the Acceptance of Science over Religion - Classical Liberalism - The promotion of the rights of the individual , and Religious toleration . - John Locke , Adam Smith , Jefferson , Rousseau and others , writing their versions of the " Social Contract " - Acceptance of Rule of Law ( Justice is blind , no one is above the law , it applies equally to every one ) . - Use of the Socratic method to search for truth .
I don't object to the use of AI art in general, but using AI images to show architectural styles at 1:00:00 is just pointless and it comes off as lazy. You could quite easily google for a real image and put it there instead, and it would be infinitely more interesting and demonstrative. Remember that we are talking about real things that actually happened and directly affected the world we live in today. Why not show the real consequences as they exist in our own world?

6:11 wonder where the data here comes from. I think the share of US gdp peaked higher than 30% post ww2. Also, wasn’t the Song Dynasty’s gdp share around 50-66%? It’s so low on the graph.
Yeah, all that censorship was real progress. We can't let adults decide for themselves what to read and write, as in recent centuries, the Soviets and fascists had it right.
