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!

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.

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.

TIL: Netflix exists for more than 10 years, and apparently a CEO destroyed it (in 2 weeks) 10 years ago.

How 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.

20 seconds in and that SPQR joke is really cringey.

Can people just make a normal video without trying to be funny?
