Description

After the collapse of the ancient Silk Road, the European maritime powers began connecting the world in the early 16th century. After 500 years of a Western-centric world, Russia, China and other Eurasian powers are connecting Eurasia in terms of independent technology, industry, energy, physical transportation corridors, banks and currencies. Russia's decision to abandon the Greater Europe project in 2014 in favour of the Greater Initiative ended 300 years of a Western-centric approach to development and modernisation.

Glen Diesen: thank you for a concise and well integrated history of the last 2 centuries. This is precisely what has not been taught now for at least 30 years.

Please do more of these types of videos. Giving a historical background of everything leading up to today's events was very enlightening. Growing up, we didn't learn much about the histories of countries outside of the US in great detail, so I appreciate you making this video.

If after this lesson people still don’t understand what Russia is fighting, then there’s no hope they will ever understand.
