  • "Open the country, stop having it be closed" said the United States
  • Japan - Is Isolationist USA - Ends Isolationism Japan - Turns into a imperial empire Usa - :O
  • Great English subtitles, I absolute adored them, they were enriching and empowering. I mean, so powerfully written and so accurately composed. Brillinat.
  • A Samurai entered the "pleasure" district. This angered his father who used to punish him severely.
  • @alilirara
    "Japan has isolated itself from the rest of the world for over 200 years, until the Americans came and said, "you're gonna trade with us and you're gonna like it"
  • Capital before the deciding civil war: "KYO-TO" Capital after the deciding civil war: "TO-KYO" ...
  • Japan: Isolationism USA: I don't think so. Japan: Ends Isolationism
  • "The Country of a Samurai", It's been a long time since our country was called this. Samurai once daydreaming while looking into the Edo sky. Now, foreign ships come through
  • My teacher showed us one of your videos that i watched, it was cool to see a channel that I watch a lot at home, being brought to school. Thanks Simple History :D

  • The moment when a Weaboo goes to Edo Japan and there's no signs of subtitles everywhere. Weebs: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
  • Everything in Samurai Champloo makes so much more sense now
  • When I was a history mentor, this era was without a doubt my favourite to teach about. Thank you guys so much for making this!! <3
  • @zuko1569
    Long time ago, the Japanese people lived together in harmony. But then, everything changed when anime attacked The 4th Great Ninja War erupted and changed Japan forever
  • Merchants might have been among the "lower classes" but many merchants were very wealthy and very influential with regards to government policies and politics in general. A key detail that you fail to mention.
  • During the fall of the Samurai class in the late Edo period, breeding goldfish become a Samurais' second job for income. In fact, Samurai was the first goldfish keepers in Japan back in the 16th century. Ranchu, Ryukin, and Tosakin are the 3 signature breeds developed by Samurai
  • I've watched Japanese Samurai movies and shows such as The Last Samurai, Shogun TV series, 13 Assassins, 47 Ronin and this video is among those I admired the most in your channel.
