Iraq Explained -- ISIS, Syria and War
Economy | Information | History | Online | Facts | World | Global | Money
The current crisis in Iraq explained in under 5 minutes. There is war in Iraq? Again? And the US and Iran are talking about working together? And who is this ISIS Terrorist group that is all over the news? And Religion? Oh dear... When exactly has the world gone mad again? It is not possible to explain a complicated topic like this without simplification. We are very aware that this video is not painting a full picture of the situation. But we hope that it may lay the foundation on which you can try to do your own research and understand how horribly Fu**ed up the whole situation is. We did have to produce the video super fast -- thanks a lot to our friends Martin Wackerbauer and Magnus Schlüter for helping us out -- we would not have been able to make this video in time without you guys! Kurzgesagt loves all people as long as they don't hurt others and don't hinder mankind on its quest to the stars. So it was very sad to read so much terrible stuff about the situation in Iraq. Hopefully it will get better. You can get the music of the video here: http://thomasveith.bandcamp.com/track/iraq-explained Videos, explaining things. Like evolution, time, space, global energy or our existence in this strange universe. We are a team of designers, journalists and musicians who want to make science look beautiful. Because it is beautiful.

"Events in Iraq show again that exploiting the people you've defeated in a war, denying them power, a living, and a stake in the rebuilding of the country, is just sowing the seeds of the next bout of violence"
Hmmmm. this sounds oddly familiar. Cough Treaty of Versailles Cough -
Syria's president isn't a dictator wtf
-
At 4:02 wasn't correct, US is a very powerful country, don't forget when it started war on Iraq it took them only 22 days to take over a full country that had much more power than ISIS at the moment. The whole thing as you said is been paid for and Iran trying its best to control it.

Isn't religion great
-
2 years later Assad and Russia won the Syrian War.
-
At 1:12 Bangladesh is also left out in the map and it's a Muslim country.......
-
The USA created ISIS , even if ISIS is not created by the USA , it serves well American want and expect from the situation in the Middle East, "divide to reign" or better say "divide to conquer".

hello kurzgesagt,
as you see ,,my name is youssef
but I'm from Egypt and iam from sunni,,
I have a lot of Syrian friends and I'm kind of interested and sad for these troubles,,I think that I must tell you about Isis
Saudi Arabia doesn't have any connections with Isis
in fact they are having war between them
and Muslims are not terrorists and I know this very good
Shea are not Muslims ,, they call themselves like this to give people a false reason to enroll in wars,,
at all ,, keep giving people info(s) ,,keep doing great for humanity💗💗
hoping for a reply
your fan,, youssef -
George W Bush and his cohorts should be executed for orchestrating fake war against Iraq. thousands have been killed. no weapons of mass destruction were found. they manipulated the UN body to ruin Iraq. americans, your soldiers are no heroes of your country. they are dummies, tools being used for the greatest crime against humanity. such a shame...
-
Sunni and Shia sound like 2 girls got in to a fight together.
-
accurate
-
You are not successful at politics as much as science. I think you are watching the world from only USA media. This clearly observable from the video.
-
Isis is sucks. I hope Isis stopped. It feels sad for Syria amd Iraq. We have to stop fighting and became friends together. Fighting people is just like ISIS. Isis isn't muslim. It's fake muslim. They're non - religious.
-
well US is trying to help but failing spectacularly at it
-
*i have a solution USA and musliams incliding ISIS should kys
-
"Bashar Al Assad starting a brutal civil war on his own people" Utter bullshit.
-
Ok, I went here bc I want to know why they're doing this but I still don't get anything....
-
It's the Muslims fault for removing pork from my local butcher
-
This is just fucked up !!!!! 🙏
-
You left out part of the drama. Why would Assad start a civil war against his own people? Answer: Barack Obama backed Muslim lunatics across the region to conquer and obtain no bases for their world conquest. When reaching Syria, Assad fight back. Kind of a different perspecitive.
