[sasson24]

[stevesDFG]

hey i could careless about the bias this guy has, i just wish he brought up the various republics like 1st-5th

[DaOneAndOnlyShreyrey]

What the fuck is your problem?

[oka297]

you are an drunk old man

[Zambia95]

This man is a genius

[BestBuyReallySucks]

You're an idiot my friend.

[Sp3tSOrton]

what a asshole

[protapirus]

wow... i hope, nobody gets his education exclusively from videos such as this...

[NFL9475]

Sorry guy, but Napoleon didn't want to ruled the world! That's what English think about Napoleon, but that's bullshit. He sold Louisiana to the US, for exemple. With the 130 departements France (from Atlantic to River Rhein), he had enough to do. But the other kings and emperors didn't accept the French Revolution, so they put on several coalitions against France. France beat them all, except ther last one, of course. Napoleon introduced French Revolution ideals and tools all over Europe.

[LeMousqueteerBleu]

oh, thanks america for existing !!! (snif snif) now: listen here: the Christian Kings of Europe are returning! whatcha gonna do? eh?? ;))

[rex285rex285]

hey thanks edmonds, you were a great teacher this year and we learned ALOT.

[aceattorney123]

congress of Vienna kept peace for almost 100 years how was it unsuccessful?

[legojingle]

cmon guys, at least the class looks fun am i right, if you do not agree dont watch this, it aint yo thang

[rbd510]

The European Union should be crumbled and destroyed!!!

[Janosh112]

It could be argued that french revolution didnt end when napolean took over. Some historians claim that the revolution still continues today, although that is taking it a little too far imo. Also, id just like to say Europe isn't just about the two world wars, open a textbook and learn a little bit more about europe before you just start screaming about the USA and how it "saved europe." For the most part, for most of Europe's history the USA didn't even exist.

[wiimaster98]

@Janosh112

quite true.

Even though people considered Napoleon dictatorial, he was in fact quite liberal. For example, his Concordat with the Pope kept him from giving up Catholic lands from the French Revolution. Mostly though Napoleon wanted centralization and efficiency, some of the hallmarks of the French.

[animemanga15]

Oh ok yes United States saved Europ twice. Let me see who the fuck is going to believe you on that. Frickin retard the most they did was aid in soldier and supplies plus fianacal aid. Russia did most of the work including britian, and france cuase you know why? They're in Europe! The Pacific war was mostly fault between United States and Japan but Russia came to help United States too but the war ended with the Atomic bombing. Even without the Bombing Japan would had still lost. Allied agaisnt 1

[kerpal3]

@animemanga15 Russia did do a lot of the work and britain did to but they would of lost if the US didn't come and help plus France did not do anything they lost in the first year

[xSilverPhinx]

The only thing that's of any value in your video is the Monty Python poster on the wall.

[JpfluegerIV]

I diaagree thegermanator123 soviets lost 1 million troops because hitler had to send troops to fight on a north africa/italian front and a french front thus weakened the german line on the Soviet front enableing the soviets to invade easier simple as that

[xoshkoshjoshx]

this is so shamelessly biased. haha

and i'm an american.

[SLuMberMoOn7]

@xoshkoshjoshx totally xD

[holyhermit1]

@xoshkoshjoshx Biased *takes note.......THAT'S A POV KEY WORD!

[fushu818]

he answered at least 11 questions on my AP final by this video and helped me on a french essay part c. :D thx dude. french revo. i used some of your words in the essay. passed the test with a 4 after having a low c the whole year. also go to the cave online if you need ap european history help. i heard that it is today O.O so study up

[AerialDeathFireStyle]

wow.... this is really biased for america being portrayed as some kinda of world savior....

as an American i just want to tell everyone that not all of us are this arrogant

[MePhIsToPhELftw]

You must be quite dumb to be a history teacher and still think that the Americans "saved" Europe. One needs only to read a textbook on 20th century European history to see that in WWI Germany was defeated from within and in WWII the USSR was what won the war for the Allies.

[Pozd10207]

Remember that American pretty much gave out blank checks to the Allies in both wars. While Europe's economies were being demolished, the US was prospering by staying out of the wars for as long as possible. The US was a big player in both wars. Read a textbook.

[tru3motion]

useless and some parts were straight up wrong. not even from bias, just not true.

[EQUILIBRIUMWINTRSUN]

maybe because if the US didnt enter WWI than the germans would have captured paris

dumb-ass

[lysablue]

au minimum vous êtes xenophobe

[slanova]

his so racist

my god

my teacher needs to give u a bit of a history lesson

come on....what did the US do?

the US doesnt know shit about war, never went through it, poor soldiers are dying in Iraq because of a loser president who wanted revenge for his damn daddy who started the whole thing

but anyways, dont mess with Europeans, or will mess u up

;)

[matman4593]

your a fag

[sgnica26]

agreed, we entered Iraq in the early 90s because Iraq invaded Kuwait, which broke thier peace treaty, you cocksucker.

[daisytinabeckybubble]

I'm not saying the US is perfect, but they did aid WWI and WWII immensely. Prior to American intervention, the allies were on a losing streak. It was fresh American troops and financial aid that gave new life to the Allied cause in WWI. When they pushed into Europe itself on the coast of Normandy--in combination with the Russian sweep into Berlin, of course--they were able to force the Germans back into their borders. And let's not forget about Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and the Marshal Plan.

[ssnickloc13]

I really hope this guy isnt a teacher as he has a very skewed view of european history.

Ill give him the benifit of the the doubt as he was pressed for time

[alpha999one]

haha I love this guy

[Dolko187]

I am so good damn tired of Americans having to remind us that they saved us.Why did the USA step in to WW1 and WW2?It was simply because America wanted free trade and was loosing a lot of money because of the war.Not to mention the fear of an allmighty German or Russian state that would challenge the USA.And if it wasnt for America i bet Europe would be less dependent on American finances.FFS why cant americans be more humble for once in their lives?Im so tired of the "we are the best"-speeches

[Orlan54]

Because we're so god-damn wonderful ;P

[xXcynicalMINDXx]

rofl the US was actually making a lot of money from the European war since they were hte ones supplying most of the weapons and supplies...they only entered because of the Germans attacking the Lusitania and there unrestricted submarine warfare, oh and we are the best

[gymir]

for a teacher this guy is a pretty racist douche.

[mrfiber]

Who is this guy?

[Baxteronsteroids]

Our economy is fine. America will be alright if we just make the Mexicans go back home.

[Quentin0000000000]

59 trillion USD. in dept deep vault gold reserves. All your main trading partners have no more gold reserves. and seen as you are going to create the NAU to try to match the eus economy the mexicans wont be leaving

[Baxteronsteroids]

Quentin, please rephrase your comment regarding my country's economy. I find it difficult to understand your Irish slang and grammatical errors. The Mexicans will leave eventually because people like me are fed up with them and we will soon be forced to take drastic measures to forcibly turn them back. As far as our economy, our median household income is 15 thousand dollars more per year than Ireland's so as I said, we will be fine.

[Quentin0000000000]

your 59trillion USD in dept. the mexicans wont be leaving beccause of the NAU(north American union).

[thewoerldisyours]

sorry, but it's bullshit.

so many facts are missing, jumps from one theme to the next and back again...

this is really confusing and historically wrong.

take more time for one thing. you can't talk about 220 years within 10 minutes

[Quentin0000000000]

he states the main points when you remember the basic headings it is easy to recall the rest of the story.

[ElleisAL]

lol i'm doing the same thing as freshlexicons!! argh apec!!

[TheWeez04]

Did he just reduce the onset of World War II to homeless aristocratic drunk men? I think he's downplaying the importance of the Treaty of Versailles and Central Europe's revisionist interests.

[peteryhyun]

if youre from troy are watching this you guys are pathetic.

[cutelilcindy]

hi peter! lol

[freshlexicon]

hahah I have my euro test tommorow too. I don't know why I'm doing last minute youtube searches for help.

[xLeiGarYee]

I have my AP Euro test tomorrow !

Thanks for helping me [:

[cr0ttych0p]

agk! i got my test tomm

[TheRealSuperbatXS]

yea...it sucks, i do too.

[sabrelove26]

This is good!

[chinesechongo]

overall good overview but u missed a couple of key details

[sushiman]

Very good insight, generalization, and summary of European history.

[jenniferLaFesse]

he's such a wannabe cool

and in ww1 germany didnt lose. it was a stalemate germany was just treated as if they lost and had to sign the shame of versaille.

[triviumordie]

if u read the book you would know this explaination is crap...dont listen to him or ur screwed on the ap exam

[biomelk]

uuuhm yes it did happen.

1925, the Dawes plan/the young plan,

Wall Street. look it up.

[biomelk]

america didn't exactly save europe in ww2... when america lended germany money to build up their economy all was fine untill the american economy went down the drain and germany had to give the money back.... drunken germany was poor again, got pissed and started a fight... yay!

[jamy30]

napoleon was a nice bloke and he should of united the world. US didnt save europe out of the kindness of their hearts, they did it for their own benefits. WW1 without US allies would lose, ww2 russia did 70% of the job

[danny123xvz]

world war II have you ever heard of the eastern front 8 out of 10 germans died on the eastern front, you learnt your history during the cold war that much is obvious no serious historians believe that america beat germany all know it was russia

[danny123xvz]

america won world war I, ha ha thats like having a boxing match were two boxers fight for 14 rounds and then a fresh one comes in the 15th and knocks one out laughable

[SuperCrazyBanana]

european history summed up in 20 minutes...thanks

now im ready for my test..Which is in..ummm...an hour and a half...

[LocaDeAmor]

a couple of hundred years old*

[LocaDeAmor]

the americans killed old europe?? SHUT UP ! at least europe is more than a couple of hundred years war and besides we have history ;} but yeah american power will eventually fall just like it happened to europe, RIGHT ;D

[hunterbender]

Also, after WWI, Europe DID NOT want to start another World War. With the raise of Hitler, and the "ism" (prim. Nationalism) which brought new powers.

Europe didn't try to pick a fight. WWI was a pointless war, a chain reaction started with a little conflict from the Balkans.

WWII was different, it was for a reason. Europe tries to avoid the war through appeasement.

[hunterbender]

I think you forgot Napoleon's Hundred Days March back to power. The Battle of Waterloo against the Duke of Wellington. These are essential event. Also, you completely forgot the mention the French Third Republic. You completely ignore the Revolutions of 1848's. In addition, you fail to mention the Crimean War and how it lead to changes within Russia.

[NinjaturtleDK]

Keep these commmin i love um they help a lot =p

[GibbieSonOfGib]

well i could now pass that AP test after hearing that thesis

[spacewulfe92]

I personally like the hand motion, jokes, and props. It makes it easier to remember the information. Keep up the good work on bashing the French Edmonds!
