Hey everyone!

The 3rd video in the series is set to Premiere tomorrow! We travel back to India, Southeast Asia, Australia, and Africa, as we go through the changes and conflicts brought about by the increased European presence during the age of New Imperialism. 

We go through the British expansion in India and their eventual dominance, the Indian Rebellion, and British Raj. In southeast Asia, we briefly take a look at the different European powers in the region, the Burmese Wars, Thailand, and French Indochina. After a look into Australia and the Pacific, we travel to Africa

We go through, region by region, covering the Dutch, British, and Boers in South Africa, to the French in Algeria in the North and British in Egypt! We conclude In the late 1800s, with the Scramble for Africa, the Belgian Congo, the Boer War, and Italy's attempts to colonize Ethiopia. 

As always it’s jam packed with information and offers a glimpse at the world outside of Europe and the Americas before the First World War. Hope to see you all there at 7pm EDT! 

Detailed Assyrian wall panel of a soldier diving under the river breathing and floating from an inflatable goatskin bag (800s BC)! Who is sneaking up on? 

A 12th century stone carving of a dog and hare on the wall of a church in Herefordshire, England. Would make for a great medieval cartoon series. 

1914 Life cover portraying how they imagined people in the 1950's would dress, as they look back at the outdated fashion of 1914. 

Hey everyone! Update time!

The episode on New Imperialism might be released next during the week instead of the usual Sunday, but I'll let you know in advance and give you all the info as to what it will cover! 

From Europe and the Americas (covered last 2 episodes), we'll check out the rest of the world (mostly) in the 1800s. We'll travel to India, Southeast Asia, the Pacific, and finally Africa, taking a look at all four corners of the continent both before and after the Scramble for Africa! It's another jam-packed episode and if you can't wait, it's available now for members!

Look out for at least 1 more update before the Premiere! Thanks so much to all you guys! 

A very rare Roman swiss army knife, 200s CE 

Ancient Greek rhyton (drinking vessel) in the shape of a dog's head, dated from early 5th century BCE. Priceless expression! 

Hey everyone! Update time!

The next video will be the 3rd in the series! It will take on New Imperialism and the different territories Europe conquered or colonized during the 1800s and early 1900s! So expect a focus on India, Southeast Asia, the Pacific, and Africa, both before and during the Scramble! Japanese imperialism will be covered in a later episode.

More updates will come soon, but in the meantime a couple of good primer videos would be the Age of Discovery and Gunpowder Empires videos from our last series, which touch on earlier time periods of the regions we'll check out!

Hope you all enjoyed the last video on the Americas as well! Appreciate each and every subscriber and member! Thank you all for helping to keep the project going! 

Can you guess how old this mug is? 

If you said 1970s or even Civil War era…. Go back over another 2000 years! This mug from Southern Italy is 2400 years old and predates even the Roman Empire!

What a classic design!
