Sometimes you have to go westward to go eastward. This video is really fun because I got to take a look at parts of the world I haven't yet been able to properly cover through a well-contextualized European lens.

My aim is to follow where this video leads and cover India in December!

Meanwhile, stay hype for Operation Odysseus, a massive collaboration project between myself and 16 other great History channels on YouTube. We've got Griffin the Armchair Historian, Potential History, Suibhne, and loads more, all coming together to talk about maritime History over the past three thousand years. I'm really looking forward to seeing it come together. Mega bonus points to anyone who can guess what topic I'm covering for the occasion.

Another great video Blue. I really like how you brought in the Enlightenment there near the end. You’re videos are inspiring me to pick up my Herodotus and Marco Polo books again, so thanks!

Ahh I friggin' love this stuff. Keep going Blue! Also, thanks for doing Portugal. I may be Danish, but I love Portugal. My grandfather had a nice summer retreat in Algarve that I and my parents often went to :)

After a video on Portugal and the link to Spain can you segway into the the 80 years war of Spain and the Netherlands?

water pollution, or particularly, those floating plastic wastelands?
