Переглядів 183 тис.Рік тому
I struggled with what to call this installment of the Crusades series. I was thinking "The Crusades: Part 2, OMG" or "Part 2, WTH." Or even "Part 2, Does Leadership Matter?" In Part 2, we see the leadership of the Seljuk Empire try time and time again to overcome the Crusaders. Bad luck, cowardice, sloth, alcoholism, madness, narcissism, and the pursuit of self-interest all conspire to give the...

Yes, yes, yes. Thanks you for posting part II. Keep them coming 🤩
A natural teacher 🙏💥👌
Hi Roy. Idk if you will see this but, I just wanted to let you know how much I love your presentations-they've been incredibly helpful in deepening my understanding of modern politics, and you're the reason I log in to UA-cam every day
I absolutely agree that dr. Casagranda should receive any Oscar for his presentation. I find myself on occasion disagreeing with some arguments put forward by some historians but I have never so far felt to have to disagree with anything dr. Casagrande said/presented so far.
So that's why you're so frustrated and biased against Germany, because they refused you as German Citizen???
???
Such a great lecturer. Thank you The Austin School and thank you Dr. Roy.
My god I just found Dr. Roy yesterday and I can get enough. I feel sorry for the people who waited months for this 2nd part. Now I'm sitting in my car totally ignoring even my dog at the moment has been waiting for me whole day after 😬 He is amazing at story telling This should be complusary for all the teachers before the become one,
This was recorded at the side of a highway apparently
Thank you so much for this. Absolutely love your lectures- this series most of all. Thanks for teaching us our history. Warwickshire, England.
Been waiting for this :) Thank you!
FINALLY! (Thanks) (Grabs popcorn)
Thank you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤great lecture
whoa whoa whoa, hold your beer there. Bavaria as the cultural center of Germany? As a hamburgian (German from Hamburg [in the north]) i have to kiiiiinda protest. Many other states see the bavarians as a bit weird and also a bit over the top. Most people i know would say bavaria is soooo 19.th century in many aspects. But thats today, maybe it was different back then. Heck the bavarians went kommunist. Never heard of that, the politics there now is conservative/reactionary.
How are there empty seats? I would've paid to fly out and get a ticket to attend this lecture.
Japan beat Russia in the turn of the century
Waiting a couple more months for part three is gonna hurt
YESSSSSSS MY GOAT JUST DROPPED
too bad they had no sound engineer to wash out the highly disturbing noise.
Funny how the Italians have been fighting modernity until today... They will never win
please keep these coming!
It’s fascinating how similar the socio-economic conditions of Germany after WWI were to present day US. 🤔
1:04:02 😂😂😂
You know it’s a great day when Dr Roy Casagranda has a new video out!
I literally finished part 1 last night , took me a week ! Luck
I love this dude. My favorite sources of history are my old narrative history textbooks, Dan Carlin, The Rest is History, Oversimplified UA-cam channel, author Adrian Goldsworthy, and this dude. Roy Casagranda is the man. Obviously has read so much and has a talent for sharing his knowledge concisely and entertainingly
It’s seems this is the kind of person that would be needed as president.. is that a crazy thought? Iv listened to most of if not all his lectures on UA-cam
This is one of the GREATEST SERIES OF ALL TIME!!!!!! Please keep going!!!!!!!’nnnnnnnnnn
1:32:12 professor is definitely wrong about “needing” to feel guilty about what conquistadors did to enslave and murder millions of people 500 hundred years ago. Absolutely not. Not in the slightest. Not in the least. Besides, Professor Casagranda does not appear to feel very guilty himself, giving such an engaging and interesting lecture for us to learn history, and for him to slurp up the audience’s attention, which it seems to me that he delights in.
Cancel all my appointments.
Those who accuse the professor of lying should simply listen to their sanitized version of history. We appreciate Roy's perspective, as it adds depth and intrigue to our understanding of events.
Very easy to listen to. Keeps me entertained the entire time. Great work!
Roy Casagranda is picking up the torch that great thinkers like Noam Chomsky are handing off.
What a bloody mess. Fascinating!
Thank youuu🎉
Dr Casagranda is there anyway you can upload lectures on a daily basis. You tell history in such an understandable and realistic way with all the facts. I want to listen and learn everyday. Any topic of World History will do. Any part of the world, any and all religions and religions. Please consider my request. I feel like ur lectures posted here are every semester. I am from the SFO Bay Area and can’t make it to your lecture hall. So I have to wait months just to see your new posted videos. I’ve watched all your lectures and videos. So I need more. Thank you for posting them. Love to learn from you. I have learnt more from your lectures than I did in class or article or videos I have ever watch. May God bless you and ur family.
What gave the crusaders a military advantage over the Muslims ? Different armor ? Tactics? This Prof. is top shelf , he should direct movies in Hollywood .
Finally finally
Even God cried of joy when hearing him speak
somehow he’ll blame the europeans for the arabs miseries later
So glad this finally came out🙏🏻
I just finished part 1 a couple days ago, the chances wow. Excited.

And now we patiently wait for the next part. Thanks for another amazing lecture!
👋 hello well come back again Dr.Roy! waiting for you for so long....finally!

Self determination is just used today as an excuse why no one should intervene in obviously bad situations.
