    China’s Three Kingdoms War civil war (220-280 AD) is the worst civil war in history with 40 million dead.

    75 years of peace in Europe is a myth. Uprisings in Poland, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, revolution in Romania, the Troubles, Balkan wars, Georgia-Russia war, Turkish-Greek conflict etc. As well as the current conflict is not the rearrangement of the outcome of WW2 but the outcome of cold war when Eastern and Central European countries finally became independent from USSR.

    American Democratic Presidents…..
    Ukraine wants to maintain independence from Russia: we must send troops to defend them.
    The UK wants independence from the EU: how dare they, the racists, we must refuse to do trade deals with them.

    All these things this guy is saying about Lincoln is exactly how Lincoln screwed up. The South used this empathy and instituted Jim Crow. They were graciously allowed back into the legislature and stabbed America in the back. This was an absolute failure in American history that we are now seeing the effects of in politics with the racist, illiterate, fascist, anti-American South.

    Jeez! What is it with Americans and their ignorant “we are #1!” nationalism!?
    No, the civil war was not “the biggest war in history on that scale – not even at that very same time”!
    Learn some history, John! Preferably *not* from American textbooks.
    The Wikipedia article about the 14 year civil war called the Taiping Rebellion (“the bloodiest civil war in world history, with 20 to 30 million dead”) might be a good start!

    4:15 My God, we have such a bizarrely low threshold for mass death here in the USA. The Paraguayan War, which was roughly contemporaneous to the American Civil War, saw sixty to ninety percent of the population of Paraguay die in six years. Get a grip of yourself America
