Dear John, --
I am writing you from the future. It is with a heavy heart I tell you that you will die a man not fully unappreciated in your lifetime. --
If it is any condolence. 111 years from this post, you will birth a reformation. This leads to a revolution that will be based on historical knowledge, random facts and an understanding of the human condition. We now learn from factual sources that can be verified and only drink diet Dr. Pepper.
Please note the latter has created a great schism in our ranks. -- Most important though, is that we are bound by the battle cry -never forget to be awesome-. --
BTW your brother is mentioned history. It's not clear. Historians call him a side kick, mentor, nemesis, no one is sure. This is what lead to the revolution after the reformation. -Hankers- were defeated in the 12 Years War preceding the revolution, just after the reformation. The war was only 2 days but you know history is never accurate.

-Just how desperate you have to be to add sawdust to your dough. -
You mean just how exploitative and desperate to earn profits the merchant class were at the expense of ordinary people. Oh well, that's what happens when you dissolve the guild system and separate the processes of industry into hyper-specialization.
People in the middle ages had it better than modern folks in the 17th - 19th centuries, and that's a hilarious fact.

This sounds like Bonapartistic agenda. The truth is of course a bit different. You forget you made a video about the little ice age. Which explains a lot of what went on between the Catholics and the Protestants. You forget to mention about the illuminati > Adam Weishaupt. The Illuminati were involved (the cause) of the French revolution. Napoleon Bonaparte allowed slavery when he controlled France and Europe.

Fun Fact: the legs in that famous portrait of Louis XIV aren't his actual legs, because Louis XIV didn't like how his legs looked in the -original- so they actually used a local prostitutes legs instead for the painting, just showing you how idealism in paintings in some ways was the norm.
Edit: I learned this while on a tour in Versailles.

Hi I like how these new episodes are slower paced. It-s a lot easier to follow. Thank you for all the content you guys put out. Such a treasure trove of knowledge and information that will forever exist as long as this platform and the internet sticks around.

Also don't forget that absolutism is just a political theory. The reign of Louis the XIVth had some absolutist aspects but not enough of them to be called an absolut monarch. You fell in a trap like most of English -historians-.

French never had an -absolut- monarch. It's an exaggeration coming from the period of the French Revolution. Louis XIVth for example had a lot of counterpowers including the Parlement. He didn't even reign alone.

Yeah, John Green. by -other places- you mean ENGLAND? There's no other place where Huguenots skills and businesses had larger impacts, than in England itself. You omit that because. ?

Much more subdued then the first seasons of World and US history. maybe because PBS is trying to reach a broader audience?
