Migration: Crash Course European History #29



Between 1840 and 1914, an estimated 40 million individuals left Europe. This is likely one of the most important migrations in human historical past. So, who was leaving Europe? And why?

  2. Your reference to religious slander and persecution reminds me of the official religious policy in the Polish Commonwealth in late medieval times to the seventeenth century:
    "We must be careful with all these religions! After all, we don't want things to get as bad as….ENGLAND!!!
    (Think Henry VIII and 'Bloody Mary')

  3. 46% of the dem party???? His endorsed candidates can’t even make it out of a primary. Bernie and his cult just keep pulling this numbers out of delusional polls or just out of nowhere and that’s part of the problem y’all keep overestimating that little revolution that’s been failing since the day Bernard announced his first run. The addition of progressives to the dem party would be good but is not some big number of ppl we have to beg to be in the party.

  4. More free people came on the first fleet to Australia than convicts. It is a mythological false image some Aussies take pride in and is largely used to treat us as descendants of criminals and provincial by the English. Convicts themselves were virtual slaves, with the difference that they were still legal under the British rule, and everyone sees slaves as having been wronged, but convicts as wrongdoers.

  5. Good video! But really disappointed about the fact that "America is the promise Land" means only US.

    South America welcomed a massive wave of European migrants that you don't mention, and I think that's not correct for a channel that talk about universal history and not only the one from their country (also taking into account you are talking about Europe history, and not US)

    America is a continent.
    US is a country inside America.
    America IS NOT the same that US.

  6. First and foremost, as a historian and archeologist, I must say that I consider myself a fan of your History videos. Your videos help disseminate historiographic knowledge to the wider population, something that must be undoubtedly celebrated. Anyhow, I believe this video should be renamed "Migration to the United States: Crash Course European History #29". Simply no words about european migration to Central and South America, which constituted a major part of this demographic flow. To put things in perspective, Brazil and Argentina alone received almost twice as many italians than the United States throughout the period you mention in the video. No words about Iberian migration as well, though millions of portuguese and spanish immigrants reached the Americas between 1840 and 1914.

    It saddens me in particular because this radically american centrist perspective deforms the very historical process you were trying to speak about. At the same time, your video follows a wider and unfortunetly traditional trend of turning Latin American history invisible when it comes to World History. It seems this modus operandi won't fade out easily, giving the fact that even well educated and well meaning north americans seem to comprehend History through colonialist lens.

    In any case, I hope my commentary didn't cross the fine line between criticism and offense, another common internet trend. As I've said in the beginning, I really enjoy and admire your work and sincerely wish that you keep doing good videos about History and other subjects.

  7. I love these videos! I just wish you hadn't focused too much on the US (as you usually do, even though it's not a series about the US at all) and had mentioned how migration affected the WHOLE continent, because – shockingly – the American continent isn't made up of only the USA. Migration affected Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay and the whole of South America profoundly and it was worth a mention – to say the least.
