Very good video.
The explanation is very clear and funny.
Through this fragment, I can understand in depth the conflict between England and France during the years 1756 - 1763.
The most hilarious video about history I've ever watched. Summed up where and when the main battles occurred, who the participants where, the winners and losers, and what were the after effects of the 7-years war in a humorous and fast pace tone. I enjoy these little videos.
I especially enjoyed the bubbles moment..
Yes John, the ever fancy hats. The cherry on top of this lesson is the hats.
I liked this video in particular because John Green presented us with the who, what, when, where and why of the Seven Years War. The video was perfectly broken down in order to allow the viewer to understand all the information presented. I would definitely show more of these in class.
Amazing video, really funny and interesting to watch and learn about history. The seven year war for me was unnecessary.
Great video! I'm glad I watched it. It's a fun way to understand the war between France and England. There should be more history related videos like this one.
This Video was very interesting. It was a great way to learn about the seven years war and captivating my interest. I usually don't enjoy history videos, bu this was one that I could watch forever.
Wow, its incredible that the Austrian succession troubles from Europe led through to the Americas in the seven years war.
I love these videos! They're funny and move on so fast that you never really get bored of listening to what e is saying. One comment Green made really stuck out to me, that winning the war cost Britain their largest empire. I've never thought of that and I found it amusing.

It's so funny when he mentions that in West Africa, the British and the French were fighting because "you know, why not?"
I feel people got too used to fight. :/
He's very funny! I did not know the 7 year war, was really more than 20 years
So much for 7 being a lucky number... it seems like everyone lost in this war due to debt!
I find this videos to be an interesting method for learning about history. I really liked the humor of John Green, acting the typical history student who is typically guessing at the questions asked by the professor. It is evident that wars are expensive, we can see this fact even so today. I was surprised to learned that the death toll for combatants during the seven years war was about one million.
