The Roman Empire. Or Republic. Or...Which Was It?: Crash Course World History #10
Video Overview & Insights
In which John Green explores exactly when Rome went from being the Roman Republic to the Roman Empire. Here's a hint: it had something to do with Julius Caesar, but maybe less than you think. Find out how Caesar came to rule the empire, what led to him getting stabbed 23 times on the floor of the senate, and what happened in the scramble for power after his assassination. John covers Rome's transition from city-state to dominant force in the Mediterranean in less than 12 minutes. Well, Rome's expansion took hundreds of years, he just explains it in under 12 minutes. The senate, the people, Rome, the caesarian section, the Julian calendar, and our old friend Pompey all make appearances, but NOT the Caesar Salad, as Julius had nothing to do with it.
thanks!

"Our senate is of the obstructionist variety"
Still lands 11 years later, my god.
This was before the Merrick Garland thing in 2016, too
Jeez.
omg that Chipotle joke more than anything is what blasted me back to 2012
@YoonchiYaSeeing you talk about American obstructionism 11 years ago 🫠
@AmyraCull2:59 Wiki says this is almost certainly false.
@NarynbekGilmanR.i.P Julius
@TheNoirOfNadirI love crash course
@wades_world22i love your shirt
@erikadmjMe watching it 10 years after it was uploaded
@Mickler.I got Ancient Rome test tomorrow wish me luck
@magicboba6531the one dislike is the ceo of netflix
@sammorgansart10 years later and Netflix is still around. We don’t understand how either.
@nuclearlioness2367A fun cooking tip: any salad can be a caesar salad as long as you serve it with 23 knives.
@jaydoggy904311:38 😂😂😂😂 exactly what i was thinking, can't wait to see the comments.
@GustavoSilva-ny8jcstill usefull after 10 years :D
@SleepIsImportant.Crazy,,, when I read about Rome, it was a multicultural territory, but when depicted in modern twist… Romans are always represented as pale skinned… in movies, educational material like this.
.Always. If whites were the Egyptians, Indians, Hebrews then i guess they were the slavs too 🤔. Soon Tupac, Malcolm X and Minister Farrakhan will be whitewashed too.
2:39 ONLY IN OHIO
@ImABaconHairNetflix CEO: destroyed company in two weeks
Elon Musk: "Hold my beer!"
11:43 it's the end already? Where are the Mongols??!
😜
NO! you can't even translate Latin correctly . SPQR means - "FOR" the People and Republic of Rome. (and yes, words have meaning)
not just THE People and Republic of Rome, you nitwit.
I’m black
@achimrohner5882TIL: Netflix exists for more than 10 years, and apparently a CEO destroyed it (in 2 weeks) 10 years ago.
@HeroDarkStorn1:51 Aged like fine wine
@lotepamera9271“But like a boss, fled the city” I spit my drink out
@jormungandr8936It's pronounced Yul-i-us Kai-zer (thank you, Latin 1 class)
@Blaze5484510 years later my social studies teacher found it
@User20p0L video
@malinen1374Been watching you guys for nearly 11 years..... Still rewatch for a night time treat sometimes.
@thomas-carlosciacca6115"Whose inscription is on the coin?"
@kadenwolf5798"Rome became an Empire, before it had an Emperor" -- seems oddly familiar today for some reason.
@mbdulkahow'n'hell did the army get so many pay raises for centuries?? g5
@vernedavis5856I like how you didn't even try to hide that you edited in the harmonica noises
@logangreen4588Watching this video for school 😭
@bayless8651How bizarre to hear the CEO of Netflix crashed the company 10 years ago, seeing comments 4 years ago singing of Netflix success and being in 2022 with the company in dire times. Maybe in 4 years this comment will be equally as dated.
@SolinvicWhen you suddenly see a map in Ukrainian (10:04) ❤
@yeldove9286I feel like this video thinks it's way better than it actually is.
@HistoryBlastThat Netflix joke did not age well.
@y0sh188"Netflix was destroyed in 2 weeks"..... immediately checks year of video
@Seqtopus20 seconds in and that SPQR joke is really cringey.
Can people just make a normal video without trying to be funny?
