This is one of the greatest history lectures 👍👍👍👍 I've ever heard. Please do not change your occupation, you are a real historian

Dr. Cassagranda is very knowledgeable and highly entertaining

Dr. Cassagranda's lecture on Yemen is very informative, for me it was a new thing that Israel was the aggressor in first two attacks, I thought the first blood was dropped by Arab county. Second now I understand that why Syria has always looked to Russia for support.

I'm Egyptian. My late grandfather was actually a Yemen war veteran. He told me that they really didn't know who to fight. He didn't tell me a lot about the war, but it became obvious to me that he was traumatized by it. The only story he told me is that they found a Yemeni guy strolling by them, when he reported it to his superiors, they told him to get rid of him (since they had no way of knowing whether or not he was an enemy). He couldn't do it, but one of his colleagues does it. He never told another story of his time in the war. He was a very intellectual man, not really a soldier. Egypt has obligatory military service since the time of Mohamed Ali, the founder of modern Egypt.

I find these lectures fascinating. much obliged!

As a Muslim woman I thank you for all the lights that you bring on what happened in the Muslim land in the past 100 years or so. I am really sorry that and grateful to you got this vicarious trauma from the research that you had to impose on yourself to uncover these truths. May you be rightly guided and blessed for all as a blessing for your endeavors!

This man is the epitome of cursed by knowledge

Where did he get his info that Yemen's population is 3/4 Shia? That's the opposite of what is widely known.

Well this was a summary of the history of the entire Middle East NOT just Yemen! Literally blew my mind!

Valuable information and a magnificient lecturer, thank you for allowing this to be uploaded Dr. Roy

Roy is the best historian heard..can listen to him for hours 👍

Awesome professor.... cleared so many doubts and a new enlightenment for me... Thanks to the channel for availing such a engrossing and insightful video from Prof Roy.

I always enjoy your lectures - thank you so much for putting them on you tube.

Another amazing piece from Roy! Thank you so much!

Another amazing video and amazing lecture! Thank you 🙏

Iam from india mumbai .. I just love his talks , I wish he could do weekly , and share his invaluable knowledge

This is the most enlightening video I have ever watched with regards to the situation of my country. It’s amazing how US tyranny created the kernel of all these modern social and political problem. The enemy is clear.

So grateful to find these lectures online!!! Mr. Casagrande is fascinating...

Greetings from Yemen, I just stumbled across a lecture of yours appeared on my recommendation and now I nearly finished listening to all of them, I enjoyed every second, thank you for making them online. need more please, wish you all the best. Btw, it's the opposite, 3/4 are sunnis in Yemen, also Saudis and UAE had a part in supporting Alli Saleh who supported Huthis who are the minority to enter sana'a and overthrow the new weak government Actually it's more complex nearly in all Arab spring countries Saudis and UAE had part in making things unstable.. you need to dig deeper regarding this part

Great storyteller, loved the Kalid ibn Walid lecture 👌

Excellent lecture. Thanks, Dr Cassagranda

Yeah I like the way he teaches . He's like a role model for me. I'd love to be a great teacher like him .

65% Sunni 30% Shia Yemen Demographics

Correction with all due respect for the professor sunni population is 65 percent and zaidi shia is less like 35 or something depending on Google and wepekidi

Correction: Shia in Yemen is 10% at most. But the majority Sunnies allyed with them against the common enemy (Saudi, USA & Israel) that is why they succeeded so far. Thanks

Thx for the lecture

Great lecture, thank you!

Very good video, thank you Sir . 👍❤️🙏

thank you so much professor Roy

Very informative brilliant...

Brilliant info.

شكرا لكم على رفع المحاضرة والشكر للمحاضر الكريم

Great lecture, I enjoyed it, and Dr. Casagrande is fun to listen to. As a yemeni, he had some details wrong though. But i can see his viewpoint as an outsider

I feel like I waited for this new season since 1919.

Dr. Casagranda's description of the strange friends comprising the Coalition forces sounds very much like, "Oceania had always been at war with Eastasia."

another lecture wchich i enjoyed thanks to the speaker

I would love so much to attend your classes !

highly recommended Dr Roy history lectures to be included it in the national curriculum for A-LEVELS. So the swathe of generations are well informed about the events took place in the past which have shape their respective countries in good or bad states.

Dr Casagranda, please don't have negative sentiments. The resolve of human beings is remarkable beyond comprehension and these failed states will come bouncing back. I am from South Africa and we are proof that you can work thru trauma. We still have a lot of issues to deal with, but we dealing with it in a compassionate manner.

شكرا يا دكتور رجل رائع❤ يروي الحقيق من قل اليوم ان يحكو التاريخ الحقيقي حتى في مدارس العربية،وهذه امانة،اتمنى له توفيق وهداية ولعائلته الجميلة❤❤❤

Beautiful.

Thank you 🤓

These people should run the country and politicians should be made to read.

There are many flaws in his narritive around Yemen since the 1994 onwards, the south of yemen is not actually held by millitary power but by tribal affilations. and around 80% of Yemenies are Sunni Muslims, and the 20% are Zaidis which is a very different sect than shia. Salah was not hit with a rocket but and IED was placed in the worship place he was in and he was forced to resgin in Saudia. There are many flaws in your reading professor I hope you re-visit your references

Good job

thank you for the lectures although in some lectures there are some miner details that need to be corrected other than that thank you for the beautiful informational lectures Dr.Roy

He knows a lot of informations in details.

The students are like lifeless zombies how do you teach people like Roy? Maybe you should try using canned laughter so these seemingly lifeless young people know when it's time to laugh. I wish you would pan the camera angle so we could see their beaming intelligence on their faces.

I've learnt more from this lecture than 100 mainstream media "news"

Where can I find his lecture on Iran?

Are these lectures open to the public? We would like to know about them in advance to attend!

An excellent lecture. I enjoyed this. But I can't believe that Dr Casagranda suggested that Trump may have read a book.

No Yemen is only 35% Shia, and 65% Sunni!! I was completely on board until I heard that ruined statistic.

Every sources available say Shia is not the majority in Yemen. It is 65% Sunni and 35% Shia who now rule Yemen. Still it is better than Syria where 15% Shia minority is the ruler. Believe me, minority ruling over majority will never work. It only could because someone help propping it up. But there will be war forever.

He's very funny. Yes, it's horrible to even hear about, but if there aren't funny jokes, crying into a coma is a possibility. I hope the trauma he (and the people he's reading about and researching) eases and things get better.

I think that anybody with a inquisitive mind will be suffering from PTSD at this juncture

Yes

It is a unique perspective from an empathetic American but there are so many basic mistakes.. First of all there was no revolution in most of the GCC countries because surprisingly for Westernsthe people are very loyal to their leaders. I am from the UAE and i got know hush hush money to stay quiet so i am not sure where you got this information. Secondly Sheia in Yemen are a minority and ali saleh who controls the army backed them up to spite the elected government. Houthis ended up killing ali saleh. However the basic information of sheia sunni percentage should be verified before giving a whole presentation about the country

What made me less impressed about this lecture is when Dr Roy stated that most Yemen is Shias. It certainly NOT!!

Your arabic accent is superb👍🏼

OMG! This is intense! I didn't know Egypt profited of US aid to Israel! Thanks for informing us.

Please make one about Oman and the revolution of dhofar wich and the war crime there between 1968 and 1973

Appreciate the efforts of Professor There are many useful and interrelated facts But there is a mistake The people in Egypt did not revolt against President Morsi, but rather the remnants of the followers of the former regime of Hosni Mubarak, with the help of the army, Sisi internally, Israel, America, the Emirates and Saudi Arabia externally, then Sisi carried out a military coup and was not elected.

so I could not find the lecture on syria that he was talking about . Can anyone share it if he did the lecture ? Thanks

How do these guys have no questions? I had so many

Nice lecture. One thing though. You never once mentioned the non-aligned movement that Naser helped to establish. Were they in your view that insignificant?

Correction !!! Yemenis Shia are a minority representation less than 3% but there is around 30% of zaidis which are much closer to Sunnis than Shia . And houthis wasn’t a revolution but rather a coup against the government that they signed a peace deal and political agreement but turned against it and broke a deal with Ali Abudallh the former dictator that fought houthis for 6 wars . With Ali saleh ambitions to get back in power and houthis hope for power. And Iran hope to install puppet governments in Yemen 🇾🇪 we end up with civil war

Surprised that Iran’s great influence on the Houthis and the Shia people not mentioned.

Sunnis are 70 % in yemen not 25% .. hothies are less than 25% , i like your way but to say a fundmental information like this wrong ,, i m sad

Professor you said all of this (back in 2019) but then at the end (of this talk) you said "we've picked the wrong side again", why pick a side to begin with? Sometimes (a lot of the times perhaps) we shouldn't.

❤❤❤

Can you do Libya too please?

i really like your lecturing style. However, I am curious to know the references that said US funded Muslim Brotherhood. As far as my reading goes on Hassan Al banna writings, he didn't get any funding from other countries, except from their people. That was the teaching of ukhuwwah (brotherhood).but then, i might be bias, hence i would like to know on your references.

So depressing 😢😢😢😢

I'm living in the UAE, what you said had happened in 2011 never did

Dear Dr. Casagranda, Why humans don’t learn from history and doomed to repeat it?

The relationship between the US and middle east is like that of a sadistic dog owner... damn how tame is this dog? But more important question is will it lose it's mind and bite the owner.

Let's ignore the fact that 50% of the Yemeni people are Sunna, the Yemeni shia are Zaydia Shia, which are FAR closer religiously to Sunna that the Extremest 12er Shia. In fact the 12er Shia consider them disbelevers, and they consider the 12ers the disbelevers too. The 5% Jarudie Shia are allied militarily allied with the 12ers of Iran, and thanks to Obama's nuclear deal with iran, Iran was able to spend all all it's income on the Jarodies (AKA "huthi" rebels), along with hizbolla in Lebanon. Beond killing the population, the huthis capture Saudi and international humanitarian aid, and sell it for weapons and force labor. That, along with holding the oil tanker in disrepair of their cost, and using it as an ecological time bomb, by blocking all efforts to repair it, before it spills it's oil into the Arabian and red seas

😢

One correction, nothing happened in Algeria during the 2011 Arab spring. Algeria had its revolt against the military rule in 1988 but the military reorganized a coup d'etat in 1991 when people voted for an islamiste party in the parliamentary elections in 1990.

Is it possible for the US to reverse its”Kissinger policy” and stop the madness?

I played Doom for weeks and never got PTSD

i really like the way you are telling stories but if I may say that Yemeni majority is sunni first incorrect information from u

Does anyone have Tylenol or ibuprofen

52:08 you said majority of Yemenis are Shia... 3 quarters? Wiki is saying its 42% shia and 56% sunni... this is a factual error on your video

18:39: What does it mean: "que", "que against the que"?

Hello. Some mistakes and errors you need to fix in your analysis , like per example the active role of the US in the " Arab Spring" ,

So ask yourself,who is the real terrorist?

The views here on this video shows how people are not willing to get free knowledge or history. The more you learn from history the better you fix or steer your future to the right side.

You know it’s bad if Kissinger is the *good* guy in your story

'' HAVING SAID THAT" ISN'T IT COOL?"

Our culture is getting entirely too soft when you have trauma from reading about something.

Funniest part of this lecture is when he suggests Trump can read.

Israel doing it's thing as usual

Muslims of South Asia are thankful for Iqbal and Jinnah that Pakistan became possible. Freedom from the British did not mean slavery of Hindutva as the current sutuation shows. The Christian minority elite were allied with the colonial powers, British and France and it has resulted in the mess Middle East is in today. In South Asia Gandhi used Muslim revolt in South Asia and Afghanistan and then betrayed the Muslims. Keeps saying India, India . There was none such thing then. The British had created British India, a colonial empire including 500 plus princely states and in 1947 handed it over to the Hindu dominated Indian National Congress and created a new country that Hindu nationalists strangely call it by a Western name called ‘India’ Nasser was not a benign tyrant, it was a torture state which has continued along in that mode with the Syrian Assad regime.

In just an American phrase: I love this guy! 😂

*Who let the dogs out? They are the criminals. Follow the money (profit from WAR WEAPONS)*

He is either not as knowledgeable about Yemen or isn't really interested as he is about other subjects in the Middle East. Aside from the lack of thorough analysis about Yemen and the conflict with Saudi Arabia which goes back to the establishment os the Saudi entity, he sidetracks to talk about everything else but Yemen and the whole lecture has just a few minutes about Yemen in it. Very disappointing.
