The Seven Years War and the Great Awakening: Crash Course US History #5

Показать описание

In which John Green teaches you about the beginnings of the American Revolution in a video titled The Seven Years War. Confusing? Maybe. John argues that the Seven Years' War, which is often called the French and Indian War in the US, laid a lot of the groundwork for the Revolution. More confusing? Why does this war have two names? Why were the French and Indians fighting each other? The Seven Years' war was actually a global war that went on for nine years. I think I'm having trouble making this clear. Anyway, the part of this global war that happened in North America was the French and Indian War. The French and Indian tribes were the force opposing the British, so that's the name that stuck. Let's get away from this war, as it makes my head hurt. Other stuff was going on in the colonies in the 18th century that primed the people for revolution. One was the Great Awakening. A religious revival was sweeping the country, introducing new ideas about religion and how it should be practiced. At the same time, thinkers like John Locke were rethinking the relationship between rulers and the ruled. So in this highly charged atmosphere, you can just imagine what would happen if the crown started trying to exert more control over the colonies. The colonists would probably just rise up, right? We'll see what happens next week.

Still curious? Watch this other Crash Course video!

Dear John Green. My students literally cheered when they realized I was showing another Crash Course in social studies class. From the bottom of my heart - thank you!

"For today we're just going to refer to it as the seven years war on account of how it lasted for nine years"

LMFAO.

That made me laugh so hard

I don't get how people can hate crash course. To be honest, I absolutely love this show and your crew should keep up the excellent work! XD Thank you John Green

The Seven Years War: Now with 2 Bonus years for your warring pleasure.

Just a piece of trivia that I learned: the reason that it is called the "Seven Years War" even though it lasted nine years is because the British did not officially declare war until 1756 which means officially the war technically only lasted 7 years.

When he said "ocean away" all I could think of was Angelica and Hamilton's "Do you have to be an ocean away?"

Btw if anyone's worried there isn't enough content to do well on the APUSH test just from watching crash course there's a channel called Hiemler's History that goes thru all the actual periods and its also clear and easy to understand

3:48 I was younger than you are now, when I was given my first command,
I lead my men straight into a massacre,
I witnessed their deaths first hand.

To everyone trying to cram for the AP national exam: a toast (of copious amounts of black coffee) to many more all-nighters and stress induced migraines. The two weeks of "what did I get myself into" before the exam, starts now. May the force be with you.

I took AP World last school year and got a 5 on the exam that is nearly entirely due to crash course world history. The Mongols, having long been my favorite civilization, were by nature my favorite theme on CCWH: I even bought the "We are the exception" tee shirt.

Having said that, I got super nostalgic when the mongoltage played. Thank you John-Green-3-years-ago

How many people are here right now for APUSH?

The super religious animation actually killed me. I love you Crash Course, I will donate as much money as I can as soon as I get a proper job.

Honesty what would any of us do if Crash Course was never created. It's truly a gift and saves me from failing all of my tests. Thank you Hank and John Green
