"I dont know much about Japan guys" *Proceeds to demonstrate his impressive amount of knowledge on the history of Japan*

[Ichthyodactyl]

I would say that you came into this knowing quite a lot about the history of Japan, all things considered. Also, as others have stated, 'History of the World, I guess' is a must if you enjoyed this one.

Do "History of the World, I guess" trust!

Martin Luther's translation of the Bible from Latin to German was hugely influential though, so you can't claim that latin dying out takes away from his importance. it was essential in establishing a form of standard (written) German. of course, his antijudaism would also be very influential.

Its Asia, one can not be faulted for trying to use the word Dynasty, unless you're ABC.

Need to do "The history of the entire world, I guess". I have never left a YouTube comment ever, so gotta have it.

Great reaction and as others have said, the same guy has a "History of the entire world I guess" that's worth checking out, and it's aptly named - it covers big bang up through current day, so tons of stuff and it's trippy

[daedalus]

I love how you claim to be a novice on Japanese history, but it turns out you know quite a bit!

[bradleylawrence]

This guy has somepretty awesome videos. 'history of the entire world, I guess' is one of the best. It'll blow your mind with how much he crams into 19 and a half minutes.

Bill Wurtz does a great job summarizing Japanese History if you're already familiar with it. When I first watched this Video I had no idea about Japanese History so I didn't understand most of he was talking about. Really the biggest "flaw" I could is that he kinda misrepresents Tokugawa Ieyasu. He wasn't just one of five dudes supposed to watch over Toyotomi Hideyoshi's 5-year old Son. He was there from the beginning slowly building his way up to the top. In Fact, he was there at the battlefield working for the Imagawa Clan, when Oda Nobunaga defeated them in his FIRST really big important battle at Okehazama (1560).

If this is a "miniscule amount of knowledge" on the history of Japan, I would be amazed to hear you talk about something you're comfortable with

Some fun facts about Japan's name:
Originally called "wa", the "wa" prefix is still used in some compound words. Like 和食 (washoku - Japanese food) The character is different, though, so this might just be coincidence.

There actually is no official pronunciation for 日本 (Japan), which is why you can find both "nihon" and "nippon" being used. "nihon" is far more popular, though.

The name 日本 doesn't really mean "sunrise land". The characters are "sun" and "book". The second can also mean "origin", so I personally like to think it is "origin of the sun", but that is just me jumping to conclusions and not backed by anything.

History of the Entire world I guess

Glad that he made the U.S. own up to threatening Japan to open there borders with guns.

[Reblwitoutacause]

I think he has an entertaining teaching style, and keeping someone's attention and getting someone engaged is an underrated part of teaching. If at the very least he gets you interesting in a subject and makes you want to learn on your own about xyz topic, mission accomplished.

[kid_find]

I honestly thought youve done this video already 😂 Im glad you’re doing it now

[r.h.f.]

i mean to be fair the Samurai didn't really "build the nation." That was the workers.

[marquisevachon]

Hilarious.Entertaining as usual. lol every time you paused I was thinking "give it 15 seconds my dude!" lol

[thatonenerd]

You should also check out history of the entire world i guess. Also a note: from what i understand, the history videos he made were partially to promote his music.
