I was recruited by one of the history teachers in my school to make a YouTube video about the failed Fourth Crusade (which is not as famous as the first three Crusades). It is a tale of Crusaders who initially set out to defeat the Muslims at Jerusalem, but instead end up sacking two Christian cities (which is already a horrible start), and one of those cities was Constantinople (today's Istanbul), which never recuperated from the siege. I truly enjoyed researching this topic and presenting to YouTube. Another teacher wanted me to give a live lecture tp his class about the same topic which I did and had equally as much fun. The students were very attentive and they asked very good questions. Enjoy both the YouTube video and the live lecture!
This is the last of the videos: the Mexican Revolution. This is the least well-known topic of the three, which is truly a shame because it is one of the most prominent stories of true heroism, imperfection, struggle, and the strive equality. You have probably heard of Pancho Villa, the revolutionary bandit born in Chihuahua and fought for agrarian reform for the poor. I compare him with another famous revolutionary, Emiliano Zapata. who fought in the South. I also talk about the Constitution of 1917, how radical it was, and how its promises weren't fulfilled. I hope you enjoy this!
Hi! Here is the next video: WWI and WWII! This was honestly quite a challenge as it was quite a lot of information to present, but nevertheless, here it is. I gave a brief account of both wars, a description of the homefront for all countries involved, and how we could compare these two wars. By examining the two biggest wars in all of History, we can get a lot out of how global politics work and how yesterday's mistakes will not be tomorrow's.
