@theone1087 None of the cultures you've mentioned have made any contribution for well over a thousand years. They have nothing to do with the modern world which is solely the product of the last 500 years of Western civilization. I'm sorry but today's medicine, technology and science are due exclusively to the West. It's useless to whine about what is historical FACT.

I don't agree with "theone 1087". But the comment is thoughtful, well expressed, and pertinent to the subject. Also wrong, in light of what the series IS and ISN'T, and in light of Lord Clark's explanation of the matter which became a controversy after the series aired. Anyway, the comment applies equally to all of the clips in the entire series, and I see no problem with all the multiple postings. It is not "spam" in any sense of the word, as it has been identified on so many of the clips.

For goodness sake, please stop spamming the same message throughout this series. The series focuses on Western civilization because *GASP* it's about Western civilization. If Western civilization displeases you so much, I suggest you do without the benefits it has given you - Among other things, modern medicine, heating and cooling, indoor plumbing, modern technology, and the computer you are using to incessantly spam your neo-leftist propaganda on.

Since revolutions seem to loose animal impulses, violence, and revenge, should the American Revolution have a different name? "The American Transition" lacks music.
