Don't know much about Alexander the Great, but Green exaggerates a bit on the influence of the technology at the time. Having the right leader at the right time is damn important, the tec is as well of course, but imo both are what contributed to the success of the Macedonians and they shouldn't be separated.

Alexander and Frederick are both examples of fuccbois who took their father's hard drilled army for a walk and became famous because of it.

>implying marching an army from macedonia to india in the BCE is just a walk
Pls.

>>558579
>the sarissa was the technological breakthrough that enabled Alexander to conquer Persia
someone please kill this guy before he pollutes popular consciousness any further

>>558907
Is it a crime to be a fuqqboi? Maybe it was in Frederick's time but not in Alexander's.

>implying alexandros was the one working out logistics

>>558907
lelno.

Fred fought for his fucking life as compared to Alex, they didn't win all the time.

>misogynistic implications
>a whore a a queen who did nothing
>Catherine the great doesn't count because he did man stuff like defeating the turks or killing a ghost
John Green is a meme, she's implying that being a whore is great

It's too late.

It's out of your sphere of choice, fem, let it go.

I still can't believe that I used to be subscribed to this channel and I liked his videos.

>>558957
Well Green is known to be a heavily leaning feminist, but the catherine part is just a joke to simplify the subject.
Guess what, you have to simplify stuff when you make 10minute videos about history

I heard this alot, what is wrong with his channel?
I stopped watching it because his videos were too short and not very informative.

>>560230
I still like the World history and US history series, because it introduced a lot of history stuff I didn't know about before. I disagree with him on the stuff where he clearly states HIS OPINION instead of facts.

>>560251
It's too post-modern/feminist/anti-European/leftist narrative for many.
>Boo hoo eurocentrism
>boo hoo male history
>boo hoo you don't know anything about true islam
The mongol gag is really funny tho

>>560265
sounds like tumblr

>>560274
Just ignore it.
For history heavy hitters CC is too light anyways.

>>558951
Well maybe he was

I hate him just as much as the next guy but I am unironocally a mongol apologist
