You totally left out the 90s... From Berlin Wall in '91 right to the Florida recount in '00. There was time to put one picture of Clinton or something there and how about an actual picture of President Obama instead of just a campaign sign? You're saying this is through 2009, but the last event you pictured was before the '08 election. To be balanced I didn't see Reagan in there or much about Communism. Besides those criticisms a good video. I could recognize most of the events/people.

Thanks for your note. Actually, I agree with all of your comments. The title which ends in "2009" was given because it was shown in my school in January 2009, still before Obama was inaugurated and three months after completion in 2008, even before the election. But, a lot is missing - I think of new things every time I've watched it.

Very good compilation of pictures of hallmark events/personalities throughout US history. It would be a good starting point for discussions of the various events. As always, there is alot NOT discussed about US History in schools, both good and bad and each of the pictures could be a good way for students to dig deeper into the signficance of each.

YOU FORGOT TO INCLUDE THAT ALL OF THAT COULD OF NOT BEEN POSSIBLE WITHOUT THE THIEFT AND DESTRUCTION OF NATIVE CIVILIZATIONS! OH AND NOT TO BURST YOUR BUBBLE BUT,I FORGOT TO MENTION THE HOLOCAUST OF THE NATIVE AMERICANS! FUCKING PIRATES!

Guys, seriously. It's images from history from 1492 - 2009 in EIGHT MINUTES.

Yes, there are going to be things left out. A lot of things happened in all those years, but not everything has a picture for it. And even if ever single event had a picture for it, do you really think they would all fit on an 8 minute Youtube video? My goodness, don't we all have better things to do than bitch about some video on the internet?

Tl;Dr, calm yo tits, it's just a video.

@MrTummon,How come you haven't mentioned the death of George Harrison as well?

[98bigbutt]

@johnny1988ism,For once I agree with you on this one.

[vanallenbelt1]

where is the segment where the fuckers enslaved Native Americans, Africans, and carried out systematic genocide against them?

[Estupitastico]

Oh, there are yankees who know where are their roots? So you know Spain isn't at the south of Mexico? I'm really impressed, no joke.

No, we don't. Unemployment was 3x worse in the Depresion, and tax rates are lower than they've been since income taxes were first implemented. Pay attention in history class next time, smartass.
