  I don’t know why this video is marked as using AI. I didn’t notice any AI visuals or audio in the video.

  As discussed at the beginning, George Washington basically started the French and Indian War with Jumonville Glen.<br><br>Which, along with the Seven Years War, led to British debt.<br>Which led to more taxes.<br>Which, along with the peace treaties as a result of the war preventing expansion westward, led to American Independence.<br>Which led to the French going into debt from helping the US.<br>Which led to the French revolution.<br>Which led to Napoleon.<br>Which led to the establishment and spread of republics and the Napoleonic code as well as nationalism across Europe.<br>Which led to the crisis of 1848.<br>Which led to socialism, fascism, etc.<br>And that nationalism led to the eventual creation of places like Italy and Germany.<br>And of course, that nationalism would eventually lead to the balkanization of...well, the Balkans.<br><br>Going back, losing the colonies and the debt from all those wars led to the British going in on India and expanding to China.<br>Which led to the opium wars. Which significantly diminished the Qing Dynasty&apos;s legitimacy.<br>Which scared the f*** out of the Japanese .<br>Which, after Matthew Perry forced the end of Isolation, led Japan to modernize in the Meiji Restoration to protect themselves from foreign incursion.<br>Which, led to Japan start seeking their own colonies.<br>Which led to the first Sino-Japanese War.<br>Which destroyed almost any legitimacy the Qing had left.<br>Which led to the Russo-Japanese War.<br>Which led to Russia being humiliated.<br>Which led to the protests in St Petersburg that the Tsarists tried to put down.<br>Which was the start of the downfall of the Tsar.<br><br>And all of this obviously sets up everything for WWI, which is basically the foundation of the modern world.<br><br>George Washington was the main character.

  ATTICUS WAS AT THE BOSTON MASSACRE???? I consider myself pretty well-versed in the early days of the revolution, but that is a shock to me!

  These videos have WAY too much effort put into them for youtube to make it as ai.

  I’ve paused it halfway through to go ahead and issue a formal complaint…. Why the hell is this only 45 minutes? I need more now.

  Considering how difficult indigenous words can be to pronounce, I think you did pretty well pronouncing Monogehela! They can be quite difficult!!

  I know that you never use AI and you have no idea how much I appreciate that!!! Please tell me that I heard you wrong that you&apos;re going to put most of this on Patreon!! I Really want to be able to watch this new series, but I also can NOT afford to support anyone on Patreon 😢 If I could afford to do that, I&apos;d happily support your channel. I&apos;m sure that YouTube regularly &nbsp;demonetizes your videos, so i wish I could, &nbsp;but I&apos;m disabled and am unable to work.

  I&apos;m so excited because I am from Pittsburgh and live just outside the city now. My high school was about 2 miles from the point.
