Japan: Hi china
Chinese: Hi dipshit -
Honestly, as a person from Japan this video explained about the Heian Period way easier to understand than my history teachers did in high school here. AND I find this lesson more informative.
They didn't even teach us more than half of what John was saying... -

I'm a fan of cultural history and I love crash course but I feel this was a waste. They have the land of the Samurai and Ninja at their finger tips. They have a country that went from a feudal society to an industrial empire in the span of 20 years. They have a land full of terrible acts of violence but also epic tales of heroism. But what do they do? They focus on the top sliver of the 1%. I love crash course but I think they really did waste an opportunity. Nevertheless I still love crash course and always will.

Well the world is never really black and white so it's not so surprising that you can get societies that massively favour one group while still affording privileges to another that the first is prevented from enjoying - in this case men and women.

Can you imagine a world in which rich people systemically receive lighter sentences for crimes committed than poor people? Yeah. I live in it.

do you (or anyone) have any comprehension questions that follow your video?

Some of the points unnecessarily stick out and lack context in this presentation. For instance, statements about the aristocracy vs "the vast vast numbers" of regular folks leads you to ignore the actual fact that in on Japan at THAT time, there were maybe 1.5 million people. I liked the lecture but it was a bit too Marxist - history as only viewed from the perspective of an economic class analysis.

what about pre colonization in the americas?

Correction-only rich important people hire a samurai poor people that cannot hire a samurai did not hire a samurai
In which John Green teaches you about what westerners call the middle ages and the lives of the aristocracy...in Japan. The Heian period in Japan lasted from 794CE to 1185CE, and it was an interesting time in Japan. Rather than being known for a thriving economy, or particularly interesting politics, the most important things to come out of the Heian period were largely cultural. There was a flourishing of art and literature in the period, and a lot of that culture was created by women. The Tale of Genji by Murasaki Shikibu was the classic piece of literature of the day, and it gave a detailed look into the way the Aristocrats of the Heian period lived. While this doesn't give a lot of insight into the lives of daily people, it can be very valuable, and the idea of approaching history from a cultural perspective is a refreshing change from the usual military or political history that survives from so many eras.
