Too busy learning about all those times France handed you giant L's

As an American I can confirm we are taught nothing about the war of 1812

@@SuperCatacata the only one I learned about was the Norman conquest

I’m in history class run let me ask my teacher if we will be learning anything on it.

​@@CreateHarmony depends on where you're from tbh, in my country the the average height for men sits between 5'8 and 5'9, so i don't see why there couldn't be a country where 5'7 isn't short for men

@@CreateHarmony it was a little above average fo rEurope at the start of 19th century.

And, of course, Napoleon had the habit of surrounding himself with people who were taller than him, and not just his bodyguard. (If ole Nap was 5ft 7ins by modern standards, wasn't Josephine 5ft 9ins, beautiful, tall? That's something I heard a while ago.)

So he was short

USA demonized the Spanish language

Japan is STILL just logistics support and Okinawa is a traffic-locked shithole after 70 years. After 70 years of US-spread "democracy", voting on military bases would still make Japan an Afghan-tier pariah because that's how trash this US ideology can be proven to be. NOBODY "democaritc" actually gets democratized, only subjugated. Afghanistan is still behind an embargo while they illegalized 80% of opium production in the world, making Afghan farmers suffer from poverty and USA drug buyers move to fentanyl. Oops. Vote better next cycle, because Japan won't, they just have a funeral for Shinzo Abe.

yeah well we killed less people than spain and they actually liked being under american governance

Imperial Russia sold Alaska in 1867, 11 years after the Crimean War.

France was at war with the whole of Europe, the UK was only one of them

@@questionmaker5666 A poor choice of words on my part. The Tsar was worried about a potential future conflict that didn't end up happening.

@@questionmaker5666In a future conflict Britain could have easily seized Alaska. Russia needed funds after Crimean war so tried to sell it to Britain and then America in 1959. America purchased it in 1967 after the civil war.

@@jude_the_apostleI think you’re mistaken on your century pal

I mean even then, the usage of Spanish was reserved for the upper classes-it was a status symbol. The Philippines had so many different languages that the Spanish just gave up.

@@realemperorkuzco huh..i really thought friars chose to learn different native language instead of teaching the filipinos a common language so it will be much harder to unite and revolt

@@MugzD Yes. That is true, I said it that way just because it seemed funny

You used Spanish words in your Tagalog language

The funny thing is, every country that speaks Spanish today used to be like the Philippines in regards to the upper class speaking Spanish right after their independence. It was the upper class and intellectuals of those countries that forced the rest to speak it.

What else do they speak in Chile?

You are a joke @zaknork9282

​@@lukelyall5879basically chilean accent is really weird

they speak spanish in chile

Still, what made him think to say that to the LEADER OF THE SOVIET UNION?

@@thebigmightybattleship Strauß was kind of the Trump of German politics of that time. He was known for talking very provocatively. Also he was very strongly right wing saying "There mustn't be a legimitate more right wing party than our party in Germany". In the 50s he said "I think you know how I personally think about the front line units of the Waffen-SS. They are included in my admiration for the German soldiers of the last world war."

Strauß was a great politician, not even comparable to other Presidents of German states. Also because of him Bavaria is by far the most beautiful, rich and successful country in Europe.

​@@whaleofdarknesshe doesnt know why they were on the frontlines then 😭😭

Wait bavaria is a country?

I do knew it thx for a video

? Missionaries teached spanish to Filipinos basically since they arrived, thing is as in America they preferred to speak to natives in their language. Weird flex there since Spain built universities and public schools there.

@@maximipe Spain only reserve universities for the upper class meanwhile the Americans let everyone attended school to speak English.

@@bananenmusli2769 thank you for clearing.

Is it Desert Storm or something else?

So basically said "who here is bored as heck?" And attacked Iraq

@@Lyx21 yes, though to be more specific it was just the Gulf War as a whole, which includes both Operator Desert Shield and Desert Storm. A very minor distinction but worth mentioning because not all members that were active during Desert Shield were also active in Desert Storm and vice versa.

Can we just agree that that was WWIII to finish those memes

​@@user-rl2zm9ei9dthis is the true tho

He was also just the prime minister of Bavaria not Germany

He did say that. I watched a documentary where an aid of his told this story.

Really paints a picture of perspective. So much knowledge is passed on with severe bias, intentional or not. I mean, I’m Dutch so naturally a lot of the history books at school covered Dutch/European/Western history. Basically, if it had an influence on the modern day Netherlands, it was included (but a lot of things weren’t included and were glossed over). Perhaps it is shame, negligence, or apathy, but there’s really not too much about former Dutch colonies in the standard ‘middelbare school’ history curriculum (for havo and vwo at least). It is a very noteworthy part of the country’s history but I still feel like there’s a sense of reluctance. Perhaps some atrocities are still too fresh. And… on the other hand. There are a lot of people seeking to remove statues of national ‘heroes’ (let’s change that to ‘legends’); people who undeniably contributed to the Netherlands’ modern day wealth, but through exploitation or massacre of others. I’d say such statues mustn’t be removed from public spaces. Show both sides of the same coin. Both the (monetary) contribution and the atrocities committed. A black and white perspective will only result in incomplete and inaccurate worldviews.

fair enough

omg yes

It should be drinking beer and do cocaine.

+Commoners could learn it at various Churches, but often the Priests would have the same mindset. Read Noli me Tangere for a better idea on this.

+The Spanish last names were forced on the Philippines unwillingly.

​@@fonsie_gamesI thought I was.

@@espy58389no no your still first

Congrats bro

Got your dates wrong 1776 was the revolution 1812 was the war

That’s an understatement.

Would that make that WW0.5? And considering the amount of international participation in Iraq, would that make it WWIII?

Romania was kind of the weird kid. Basically the dictator there modeled his government after North Korea who is also not very well liked. Albania have the opposite problem. The reason why Albania was isolated because they did not want to diverge from Marxist Leninism, while most of the eastern block took more moderates stance after the disaster pock face midget Stalin created

Reminds me of that finnish soldier who fought for Finland, Germany and the US during WWII, just because it means he could fight Russia

But the British pubs, pubs would probably be the favorite places on earth for dwarves. And English people drink beer, French people drink wine, wine is elegant, thus elves would prefer wine, thus French people are elves, CQFD (no).
