note from the guy: thanks for watching, this was a school project, hope i can do more stuff like this in a more stylistic way

Bill wurtz would be proud.

Bill wurtz:”You can make religion out of this” Kris:”You can make a political party out of this”

I believe this may have recapped a big portion of the basics needed for the APUSH Exam. Unironically helpful!

Fun fact: Bill Wurtz was originally going to do a video on the history of the USA, but so many other people had already done it so he settled for the history of Japan. I think this is what happened, I could be wrong.

I absolutely LOVE this Video! Great Impression and Homage on Bill Wurtz' Works! Please keep it up!

Excellent! Finally someone decided to make more historical videos in this style. If Bill Wurtz won't do it himself, it doesn't mean they shouldn't be done. This is an untapped gold mine!

I love how you had the Bill Wurtz style in it but still had your own handwriting over it! Its such a refreshing mix up!

I would be pretty satisfied if this became a micro-genre. Would love to see more like this!

Fun fact: the original concept of the famous “history of the entire world I guess” and “history of Japan” videos was going to be “history of the United States of America”, but he (Bill Wurtz) quit the project and it transformed into two of the most iconic UKposts videos ever made.

i love how this was inspired by bill wurtz, and not trying to be a direct copy. i’ve seen plenty of bill wurtz parodies that don’t work, but this one does. great job dude

The main two ways I've studied this school year are by watching this and Heimler's videos. I watch this one at the end of every unit. I have the APUSH exam tomorrow so this is my final little recap, thanks for making and sharing this video :) Edit: I was one of like 4 people in my class to pass so thanks to this guy

I am a history teacher, and this was incredibly impressive. Great job on this!

I like how he used accurate flags for the time showing that he put alot of time into this video.

this unironically is so useful for apush review

Cramming for my apush test and stumble upon this masterpiece. This actually helped me remember stuff

Finally. Someone decided to finally make a video mimicking his EXACT style. I know it's tough to recreate it, but I see a lot of creators making these types of videos, but trying absolutely no effort into actually trying to mimic his style. You just earned a like from me.

This is a gem!

This video popped into my recommended only a few hours after my AP U.S. History exam and I wrote about 80% of what he mentioned in all my responses combined. A+ video, I hope I got a 5.

The music dotted throughout this, though in very brief segments, is glorious. Excellent video overall, too!

Almost perfect, like a 9.9 out of 10, all it needed was some more jazzy jingles for words or concepts like Bill Wurtz's stuff, otherwise a 10 out of 10 for me

I really appreciate all the work put into this video. This format actually helps me a lot.

Thank you so much this is helping me with my GED test for social studies. Everything was simple and helped me quickly remember it, I now can recite a lot of this in order. Thank you so so much you don't understand how much this means to me. I just needed a simple explanation of the history of the US and this is everything I needed.

FUN FACT: Paul Revere never shouted "THE BRITISH ARE COMING, THE BRITISH ARE COMING" because at that time, everyone was British so it would be confusing. Instead he went up to peoples doors and whispered to them "The regulars are coming" and Paul Revere never actually finished his trip, another rider did. Him and William Dawes were captured by the regulars and questioned before being released.

I'm glad you started explaining the native population from the broad introduction rather than starting off with the usual pilgrim + new england relations with the natives. Also the chronological pacing was really well done and really puts into perspective the grand timeline the US has gone through, rather than stretching it out for an academic year and poorly connecting each event with the next. Bill Wurtz's was greatly enjoyable but his was made intentionally vague as it was meant to just be a brief overview, whereas yours was very detailed and nuanced. Bill Wurtz's gives breath into widening people's foreign understanding of the world to stray away from western-centric history, establish a foundational understanding of the world, all while being digestibly entertaining. Whereas yours dives into depths genuinely twice as deep than any textbook can dive into, as they ignore otherwise crucial subtleties that you included. Your video gives a strong wave of information in such a slapstick compilation of US events and it's greatly appreciated. Your video may have been inspired by Bill Wurtz, with the lightheartededly quick snapshots and explanations w/ jokes, it's obvious the video was made by another masterful comedian and historian with hopes to educate his viewers. Although Wurtz's video may have been an LSD wet dream, I genuinely prefer your video over his. Well done mate 👍

There is a definite musicality to the original, meaning, the beats that the bits have and that is preserved here. Really enjoyed it 😊

I have an APUSH tri 2 exam tomorrow. This is actually so helpful for studying. Thank you so much!

I can't imagine how long and difficult such a massive project most've been. And you did this while taking APUSH?? I admire your time management!

as a massive u.s. history nerd from australia and also a big bill wurtz fan, thank you for this masterpiece

this is my apush review

3:54 Hamilton: “NO” 4:17 Jefferson: “OK” 5:12 Jackson: “OK” 6:56, 10:48 “AND HE GETS ASSASSINATED” 8:40 “Soviet Union” 8:02 “GETTING ASSASSINATED”

Fun fact: bill wirtz was originally going to make a history of America but went with Japan instead This video is so great, bill would be proud

6:11 *EMOTIONAL DAMAGE*

Dude this was incredible, and amazingly well edited! Well done!

I will forever appreciates this channei. I think it would be great if there were only 10 million people in the world , or less . I'd love to live in a place with abundant natural resources , no war , and a meditative lifestyle . And some nice cannabis sativa stands .

as someone who just took APUSH, this felt like speedrunning the entire course. well done, good man edit on july 5th: I GOT A 3 GUYS I WAS SO SCARED I WOULDN'T PASS AND I STRUGGLED A LOT IN THE CLASS ITSELF BUT OMG I'M LITERALLY SO RELIEVED edit for the non-Americans: a 3 in the US is passing. anything 3 or more on an AP exam is passing. AP exams are graded on a score from 1-5

This is perfect to display at History class.

My GOOOD Congrats, you give your own spark to Bill Wurtz’s video style

the illustrations are what elevates this beyond any mere copy of this format, i think (among several other great parts)

Not too shabby for an APUSH final project No but really you have a talent for this sort of thing great work mate Bill Wurtz would be brimming with pride!

I'm so glad that someone decided to make a video in the same style as Bill Wurtz did with the history of Japan. Could you please do it for more countries such as Korea, China, Russia?

This is a masterpiece

Bill Wurtz: You can make a religion out of this! Kris: You can make a political party out of this! Oversimplified: *This enraged his father, who punished him severely*

I came in with low expectations but was pleasantly surprised by the accuracy of both your impression and historical knowledge. Sublime!

This nice video has DIFFERENT content while giving homage. Full respect. Another point, there's no such thing as intellectual property rights regarding style. please use what inspires you and make the best out of it. This is how human beings learn and improve. Keep in mind if you think it's good, there are others that think like you so don't get demotivated by the doubters. I guarantee there are people that appreciate what you're creating. Keep up the inspiration and the great work!

Toads poetry was gold I cried when I read his newest novel "My toady life" Such poetry😭

9:22 *Japan wants more land but Japan is scared of the US, so Japan spits on them* US: *WhElP tImE tO dIe JaPaN!*

9:09 dam makes D-day war more sad

impressive! gave me nostalgia to Bill Wurtz videos about the Hirstory of the entire world and Japan. You did well with this one and deserve every like

found this video the night before the APUSH exam

this was actually super helpful for me because my history classes in high school were crap and I needed to brush up on history since I haven't had a class on history since then. definitely wrote down a number of events and names. Also just plain funny too, well done! :)

this video is amazing, hats off for all your hard work that went into this! As someone from the Philippines I was waiting for when you'd mention that part the US occupied us from what happened with Spain and the way you incorporated it was absolutely stellar, I can't imagine how much hard work went into making all this (those animated segments you drew were perfect!)

6:17 The song is called Jubilee by T-Square and is truly a banger.

Someone in my US History 1 class recommended this and we watched it on the last day of school. A lot of people didn't see the bill wurtz video but they enjoyed this one a lot

100k likes. Big milestone👍 congrats!

This is a great homage to Bill Wurtz’s legacy. The samples and humor are just spot on.

I don’t know how I got recommended this video, but I am glad I did. Never have I seen such high effort put into a video with so little views. Remember me when this blows up.

The cool lincoln edit makes me so happy

my passing apush score is to you 🙏🙏

dude, first video of yours and I'm already craving more. It basically nailed bill wurtz humour and even had some edginess to it which I appreciate. One thing from a youtube perspective, your videos are constantly fast-paced and you could definitely get away with slower segments. It makes the videos more engaging and funny, Keep it up!

3:58 REAALLLY should've listened to Washington

I'm taking every moment of this video seriously, as I am genuinely using it to study for my AP US history test

4:06 my favorite part for some reason

Man I wasn't having high hopes after seeing other creators try and replicate bill's style, but this video definitely exceeded my expections by miles.

Thank you for releasing this after my APUSH exam 😭

I have to tell you that Mr. Terry History sent me in your direction. You copied Bill Wurtz's style beautifully, but still made it your own. NICE! I'm enjoying your video.

Thanks for getting me into AP US History! 😄

dude im not even american but this was hella entertainment, it might be so hard to make but one day could you do "the history of brazil"? anyway great video

7:50 my favourite part

how did this video get recommended to me literally 5 hours after the apush test, would have been quite helpful before.

Recently stumbled across this video and I have to say that its production value and animation shocked me. Keep up the the excellent work!

Well done. Captures Bill Wurtz's style really well. It must have been a pain to edit

This taught me more than my social studies teacher, georgraphy teacher, and civics all at once.

INSANE!!! the amount of work that went i to this is incredibly appreciated

LOVED this video! You did a great job at impersonating Bill Wurtz’s unique style while keeping it your own. Could you do history of Canada next? I’d definitely watch the hell out of it.

4:25 Plantation owners: “Hell yeah! Now we got business!”

I watched this video right after history class. Unlike those boring textbooks and papers in class this was entertaining

pro tip: wurtz usually speeds up his dialogue by a little bit for every video

9:50 “twice” 💀

this video was awesome! Great job, I can tell the inspiration from Bill, but I honestly feel you put your own twist and energy into it. Keep going man, your doing awesome!

heh this was amazing i've been learning us history at school, and today just learned about the whigs. It was nice to see everything before it and go, "Oh I know that!"

Using this for apush throughout the entirety of this next year 🔥

8:27 I like that because of the black background it just looks like Woodrow Wilson is yelling at Poland instead of Germany because that's exactly the kind of dumb thing Wilson would do

"Then we buy the universe, or maybe go extinct idk." This is painfully accurate.

Have my ap us history exam tomorrow and cramming in some study time ( I know, dumb of me) but this has helped me more than my actual teacher 😭

taking the apush exam tomorrow and this is saving my life rn

I like how you gave your own charm by putting in drawings while staying true to Bill Wurtz’s style. Makes a good replacement to the jingles.

It's insane that I was just thinking of how amazing a video on the history of America would be in the format from Bill Wurtz. Brilliantly done!

Can’t believe this never came my way, this is so faithful, love it

Well done. Worthy of adding to my essay on history, which already had the Wurtz video. ChatGPT - make a video on history in the style of Wurtz. I don't think so.

Awesome job. I love the style. I always wished Bill Wurtz had continued doing these kinds of videos like he did for the world and Japan. Great idea doing this finally as there is definitely demand for it. Hope your channel blows up!

Not only is the video great, you did an awesome job capturing the unique style! I really appreciate all the clear work that went into making this so similar to bill wurtz's videos. I also loved the little cartoons you did!

The fact that I am now gaining interest in this type of stuff after learning it in history is scaring me

currently debating whether I should send this to my extremely serious U.S. history teacher or not.

You're definitely gonna get a mil one day. The talent, the bill style, the animation. Just beautiful

You got his style so well! If you had his voice I genuinely wouldn't be able to tell that this wasn't a Bill Wurst video

6:51 there was no reason for that transition to be that smooth

pardon my curiosity but, does anyone know what the small jazz clip at 2:24 is? -Sequoyah p.s keep up the good work :) also, idk why. but the way that the music chords played for certain jingles has given me ideas for fanmade extended versions of them.

This is really well made. I’m actually taking APUSH in September and this is really helpful, thanks
