We’re back! We’ve been hard at work on this video, and we really hope you like it! And also see you soon for the second episode on Russian history.

By the way, Omar, who was doing the translation and voice-over for the Arabic channel, just started a new channel of short educational videos about history. Please have a look at the channel, and if you like it, don't forget to subscribe!


Thank you!

When Geo history posted, my day got 1 million times better.

I’m literally learning about trade routes and connections in my AP World History class, this was perfectly timed.

[tijlaerts]

Sad you didn't spend any time on bronze age tin trading routes.
Otherwise amazing video!

China 2000 years ago: I'll build a silk road
China today: I'll build a silk road
China in the future: I'll build a silk road

So India and Europe are trading since more than 4000 years... Damn!

0:10 This video completely neglects the *actual* earliest route, that of copper and tin. Copper and tin are not mined any where near each other, but the trade of these two metals is what started the bronze age worldwide.
Also, the *end of the trade* of copper and tin marked the end of the bronze age (The Bronze Age Collapse) - and people searching for alternatives to bronze led to the start of the iron age.

Ah the Hanseatic League. The most prosperous time for Estonia. All of our old town date back to that time. All of them built with German architecture, pretty deep inland too. The trade even went through the rivers.

[gavinm]

Literally what I’m learning in College Right now!

[noahkidd]

Excellent video! Really demonstrates how important the factor of trade has been throughout world history.

"Alexander the Great founded the city of Alexandria..."

Which one ?

[enricofreddo]

It's nice to see that this video ends in the present, 2021, it makes me feel like we are actually living the history and we're part of it!

[cushconsultinggroup]

Literally a “follow the money trail” informational video, which gives great insight.

I imagine the story goes something like this:

Turmoil has engulfed the Galactic Republic. The taxation of trade routes to outlying star systems is in dispute. Hoping to resolve the matter with a blockade of deadly battleships, the greedy Trade Federation has stopped all shipping to the small planet of Naboo. While the Congress of the Republic endlessly debates this alarming chain of events, the Supreme Chancellor has secretly dispatched two Jedi Knights, the guardians of peace and justice in the galaxy, to settle the conflict....

Great video, India called as golden bird in ancient times and during the time of gupta empire, India's gdp had shares of 35% in total world gdp, and the fact is no one empire ever achieved this much percentage in global gdp but cuz of rich region, it attracts many invaders and india got looted over time, and now the countries of those invaders like UK, France etc and mostly whole europe calls india as a poor nation and also say that india never got rich in past, so yeah it hurts when people forgets history

[skeletonminer]

Thanks so much, this helped me a lot to study for my exams. Continue the hard work

[abhinavkp]

Muziris on the first trade route is 10 miles from my place. It lost its importance in the floods of 1341Now the place is known as Kodungallur Another port formed as a result of the floods and today it is one of the major ports in India called cochin

[Elderrion]

13:06 oh, hey, they labelled the congo as the property of Leopold II. That's surprising. I mean, it's factual, but it's rare to see attention to such a small detail. Would've been easier to label it as Belgian, if slightly inaccurate.

[AnjumulHaque]

Thanks for this. People only focus on single known routes that are stuck in people's consciousness like the Silk road between China and Europe or the Spice Route after Europe founded ways to America and Asia, forgetting that there were other trade routes equally important.

[indianinja]

Hey this is a great video! I would have loved if you highlighted more about how Indian/Tibetan/Southeast pre colonial politics affected trade in the in the region. Players like the Chola creating a merchant guild in South India and the East Indias, Tibetan Empire wrestling with the Silk road going toe to toe with China and linking overland trade between India and China through the Himalayas, or the Majapahit of the Javanese in modern Indonesia who locked down all east Indies trade and was was a economic juggernaut at it's zenith.
