Bill Wurtz, who has achieved internet stardom after his world history video, has another video to get everyone caught up on Japan’s history — and it’s hilarious.
In nine minutes, Wurtz goes through a broad but very entertaining history of Japan: the early settlement through frozen land bridges, the spread of rice cultivation, the internal wars Japanese states fought before final unification, Japan’s attempts to shield itself from the rest of the world until America and other Western countries intervened, the world wars, and, finally, modern Japan.
