I love how guessing the quote has turned into John trying to psychoanalyze Stan...

I'm a german exchange student at an american Highschool and they have no idea of what is going on in the world or what happend in the past, I think your videos are awesome and more people should watch them

If your teacher wants you to write 15 facts, here you go :) 1. WWII strengthened the federal government of the U.S. 2. Unemployment dropped from 14% in 1940 to 2% in 1943. 3. By 1944 American factories were producing an airplane every 5 minutes and a ship every day. 4. U.S. GNP went from 91 billion to 214 billion during WWII 5. Government expenditures in WWII were twice the amount the had been in the previous 150 years combined. 6. After WWII 40 million Americans played income taxes. 7. Union membership went from 9 million in 1940 to almost 15 million in 1945. 8. By 1944 women made up 1/3 of the civilian labor force and 350,000 were serving in the military. 9. Married women out numbered single women in the workforce. 10. By 1946 more than 1 million former soldiers were enrolled in college and almost 4 million got assistance with mortgages. 11. About 500,000 Mexican men and women served in the armed forces during the war. 12. Executive order 9066 in February 1942 expelled all persons of Japanese descent from the west coast. 13. 70% of Japanese Americans lived in California and as a result, over 200,000 people were sent to internment camps. 14. Executive order 8802 banned discrimination and defense hiring and created the fair employment practices coming. 15. By 1944 more than 1 million black people were working In and 300,000 of them were women.

John Green be dripping with the Ralph Lauren Polo 🔥🔥🔥

I learned more in this one video than I did in 12 years of public school.

I would like to go back in time and have teenager John Green be my waiter at steak and shake.

I just wanted to take some time to say how much I appreciate these videos. People like you, Hank, and Sal Khan are making this world a better place one video at a time.

We need to clone +John Green and use him to replace all high school football coach history teachers. Then, we need to pay the clones (and all other teachers) 100 percent higher wages for the extremely important work they do.

I am teacher, and I love Crash Course because it's awesome! However, I teach theatre and very little of Crash Course content has anything to do with theatre or creative arts. Have you all ever thought about creating a Crash Course series for theatre or art history? They would be super helpful for arts teachers.

Could you please do a video on the Japanese American internment camps? Not a lot of people know about it and how it affected them. As a 4th generation Japanese American whose family went to the camps, I am disappointed that a lot of people are unaware of this event and are now trying to do the same for Muslim Americans(post 9/11).

For those studying for the AP exam, congrats, you reached the end of what you need to know for this year! Unless you wanna watch more to possibly get contextualization, in which case good luck!

8:03. Shots fired. Lol

The day of reckoning has arrived, my fellow APUSH students. Good luck on the exam.

I actually guessed the mystery document! And I'm not even American.

Every time I come back to this video, I'm reminded of how inspiring the ending is. It remains one of my favorite ways of talking about the US. "Ideals pulling policy"

Amazing how things that happen so long ago have such a large impact on how things are today.

Hey all you APUSHers, this is the last one you need to watch! Because of lockdown, they reduced the content on the test! Less to cram means more sleep! Yay!

WW2 - Part 2 of Ms. Millers work 1. 0:50 2. 2:00 3. 3:10 4. 4:00 5. 5:45 6. 6:30 7. 7:35 8. 8:30 If your doing part 2 first then I have timestamps on part 1 aswell

Dear John Green, You're dad really made you declare your tips? Dude, that is totally brutal. Best wishes, Amoral Accountant

If I pass my IB history exam I owe a lot of it to these videos. So thanks, John Green! :)

I could literally watch the crash course videos and probably learn more than I did in high school

I've tried watching this like three times and I zone out after like eight minutes. :(

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS! I am currently crash course studying for my 2nd final exam in History and this is so helpful! I am doing a presentation on:"The treatment of Japanese Americans during WWII" and I obviously need to be prepared for general questions regarding the 2nd WWII, so thank you!

I’m Japenese，Mexican，and American

Who else watches CrashCourse for fun?

Actually, this video is only about the domestic side of the war within the USA, which is a pretty narrow topic to begin with, but there still is a lot of information that they have to present in 14 minutes. It's hard work cutting everything down while still having some sort of themes to stick to in order to keep people's interest. Pretty hard work! But yeah... why bother with learning? We need to focus on whether things have been MENTIONED or not!!!

i just realized this, but one of the things i love most about crash course is the perfect set up and length of the intro.

John Green, I just wanted to say the part 2 brought WWII in better perspective for me from the US standpoint.Your lessons have really helped me to understand and build upon what my us civ book teaches. Thank you!

This is probably my favorite channel on here (plus crash course bio with Hank), been watching for years. Great video. Shoutout to my man D. SMITHEE and the HUSH squad!!

Thank you for talking about the Japanese interment camps! A lot of people don't know anything about that and it's nice that that subject got attention in your video.

For all those clamoring for more History, not that I'm opposed... if anything quite the opposite (I'm glued to my computer every Thursday/Friday looking for the new CC:US History), but I'd be really happy with some Crash Course: Economics, since that's also an area of expertise for John.

The first few decades after WW2 were the window of opportunity to establish a socialized healthcare system in the United States, just as it was for every other First World country (all of which did so). After that, the rapid expansion in medical services in turn led to the insurance lobby becoming too powerful, and FDR's ambitions were tragically never realized.

Another fantastic episode of Crash Course US History. Thanks, John Green.

Can someone explain to me why "Korematsu v. United States" is always mentioned but never "Ex parte Endo", considering how it was in the "Endo" decision that the government stated that a citizen could not be illegally detained if there was no evidence found to provide suspicion of a lack of loyalty?

I think finding these videos has actually saved my life... I have an exam on some of this stuff in 2 days and knew literally none of it! Now I can take notes from this and relax :)

Anyone else feel that this was as much as we learned in high school? Every year we would get through WW2 and then the class was over.

"You've changed, me from the past, and not in a good way" ... Uhhh... I think that's more of and insult to your present self

Maybe "Improving" the names of historical events would add further biases into the interpretation of historical events.

I’m a New Hampshirite, thanks for mentioning us!

"The White House has 32 bathrooms." Is that some sort of subtle message that the White House is, uh...heheh... Full of shit?

10:43 - Redtail Mustang... nice touch, Thought Bubble!

RIP to the lady that posed as Rosie, she was real and she passed yesterday

There was a Rosie the Riveter- my AP US History teacher's mother worked as a riveter during the war and her name was Rosie.

I broke the numbers down in a few posts (it took several) in reply to the same person. I mistakenly referred to taxable income as AGI, but the calculations were correct. The 39.6% is inclusive of FICA, medicare, etc. Sales tax can only be applied against spendable money, which means it's applied AFTER all other taxes have been applied. It can only be applied against the entire remainder if you don't save money. Different items have different tax rates, and some states don't charge sales tax.

Thanks John and all the Crash Course team for the World and US History Series. They were amazing! Please keep doing more series!! A Terror History Series (not only US but worldwhile, religious and/or political motivated) would be an opportune one. I know it will be very controversal but also very opportune to our times. People seems to be very confused about it. A World History of Arts Series will be also great (maybe not that popular, but I would love it!).

We can't hear the rest of the world's desires over all that FREEDOM we're gonna give em. #Murica

I really like this series particularly because John tries to take a balance approach giving both sides admitting both what have done wrong also what we have done right. But more importantly i feel he just explained what america and our history is really about its not about how perfect or amazing we are as we have seen we dont have the best record but the ideals we have developed and what it represents to the US and the world and how we are continually striving for this ideals we have.

For those wondering about the effects of WWII that you can see today, I'm a CA kid in a military family. The state is still a powerhouse for military research and manufacturing. The largest naval yards, drydocks, training centers, R&D labs, bases, and classified hangars are out here.

WHAT? Bite thine tongue, John Green!!!! I love Zoot Suit Riot! .........The song, not the actual event.

11:52 New Hampshire, "Yeah It's our time to shine!"

Immensely helpful to learn about this war with a home-front perspective, especially from an economic and policy aspect.

he always ends the show so thought provokingly.

With this video I conclude my journey from period 1 all the way to the end of period 7 in preparation for the 2020 Apush test... one day in advance...

"You've changed, me from the past!" -John Green (and everyone else as well)

We always watch you in history class and let me just say you're like my savior my teacher is a joke but as for you, you explain thing amazingly and make me LOVE history!

online learning has been a pain, but he does a great job at explaining everything!

I just want you to know that God loves you.

Please make a WW3 vid A.S.A.P, thank you in advance. I really need it for my test.

A ship... Every day. That's mind-blowing.

What a beautiful episode. Well done, this is probably my favourite of all your shows.

Turn on the captions and see the extra line at 14:13.

How about an episode on The Winter War, Finland vs USSR?

Super excited for next week! The Cold War and the Race to the Moon are two of my favorite historical events!

This is my favorite episode of Crash Course. Well done, John.

I honestly need a teacher exchange

This episode isn't on the US history playlist!

I would like to wish a big happy birthday to my history teacher. Have a good one.

I want another literary CrashCourse!

"Deep inner meaning... of mostly girls." I see what you did there

Do you guys think you'd be able to make an episode on the social and political developments relating to the LGBTQ community in the US over the last 50 or so years?

hey mr. smith i forgot to submit my work on friday but thats only because i was so busy staying up all night watching crash course

As ANOTHER Canadian with a History Degree! I say John Green should do one!

Steak n' Shake is delicious

Do you guys use "Give Me Liberty" by Eric Foner? Because some of the sentences you say are almost exactly as some lines in that book

Both of my grandfathers were Braceros and this is the first time I have ever heard the program mentioned in anything related to WWII.

Keep preaching Michael, most don't think about the unseen taxes that affect the bottom line. I'd like to add, any tax on a corporation is just a tax on the employees wages.

I'm not seeing an episode on the Great Depression... and I don't mean when George W. Bush was elected President. It would be valuable to see what didn't and what did end that bleak period.

*But, you've changed, Me from the Past, and not in a good way* Was that supposed to be an insult to "Me from the Past" or present John?

I'm learning about ww2 at the moment and you've really helped me! Thank You!

Thank you for the great lecture. Love this video!

In this video, they don't talk about it because it's a US history "course." I definitely wouldn't call anyone from a small(er) country stuck between badass evil superpowers pussies, though. That's a pretty damn hard situation to face by either a government or an individual.

is that a real shock pen?

thanks for teaching us about world war II!

lol when the mystery document turns into mind games with stan

APUSH test is this friday...only 12 more episodes to go :) #PROcrastination #LiteralCrashCourse

Man, you know you have a terrible sense of humor when you burst out laughing at a war painting because the soldiers are Mexican.

John's last words at 13:40 made think of INCEPTION!

I would love to see you talking about the relation of U.S. and Latin America in the Cold War era. Great video :)

do you notice that he said ci instead of hi at the start of the episode

So, what I got from this is that the US grew exponentially because of government spending? If so, how come there's so much controversy surrounding government spending whenever it's proposed in the US today?

This is great for future teachers

Shout to David Smith and TSM Aidan Lopez

Who's taking the AP test on May 14th?

john green sounds like he has a cold

OPA for the WIN! Seriously the records of the Office of the Price Administration are some of the funniest records in the National Archives.

Hey, this had maybe been pointed out already, but I think you've maybe forgotten to add this one to the US History playlist - mine just went from WW2 pt1 straight to the Cold War. Cheers for all the great videos, much appreciated! :-)

World bank and IMF is a joke

No one ever talks about Romania :( Is it because we were pussies during the war?

Amen, my friend! Hooray for all the oppressed who showed their valor and skill during this war!

THANK YOU FOR MENTIONING SEATTLE! (If you ever visit us, take the Underground Tour! We have some bizarre history you'd like!)
