As you can probably tell, this was not a small effort. I spent eight months on this video: five across 2023 and also the first three months of 2024. I hope you enjoy it and that it was time well spent. I say this on all of my videos but cannot emphasize it enough here; the only reason I'm able to take on a production like this is because of people who choose to support me either on Patreon or through the membership program here. It's the only way I was able to make a living doing this work during the quiet production months. So as always, a huge thank you to all of you who have been doing that. If you're interested, the membership program is only $1 a month and comes with access to more casual/intimate videos that I upload between the main channel videos.
I'm sure criticism will come in and I'll have notes that I want to add to the video, but for now that's all I have to say. Enjoy!
Edit: I just wanted to say that I'm touched by the outpouring of support for this video so far. I have never gotten so many donations through comments before or have received such positive feedback for a single video. I feel it's best to not be on here constantly replying to comments, but I do see and appreciate it. Thank you.

Waited so long for your new video. This is going to be awesome.
@RyanChapman doesn’t the USSR share responsibility with Germany since Their allied invasion of Poland is what started the war
@@NixonThr336ix If there was a fourth country mentioned it would be the USSR, but their role was more convoluted. They started participating fairly late in the cycle of aggression, they invaded Poland after Britain and France declared war on Germany, and they were soon turned on by Germany. In the section you're talking about I was just naming the basic facts that everyone more or less agrees on (that Germany, Italy and Japan were the aggressors). Their alliance with Germany was widely seen as a last-minute shock before war broke out that did facilitate it, but the war was going to occur either way (as Hitler, quoted in this video, made clear many times).
Edit: It's worth adding that the USSR did play a huge role in starting the war by spreading communism and the fear of communism around the world (by just the nature of their existence and also through Comintern), which led to right-wing dictatorships in the aggressor countries, which of course was covered at length in the piece itself.
@@NixonThr336ixI have a pet theory that Austria is responsible for both World Wars even though everyone blames Germany.
Austria DEFINITELY caused WWI.
And a certain painter with certain crazy ideas was also Austrian.
They did BOTH and no one ever talks about it. That country has World Wars in it's DNA.
@@realryanchapman that’s mostly allied shame not wanting to admit most of Europe wasn’t liberated they only *changed Adolph for Stalin
Humans never change. The worst mistake the people of the United States can make, is feeling like it can't happen here.
I agree it can also happen here. But we shouldn't jump from that to conclude that say, a portion of the population are already fascists, like so many do when it comes to republicans. That descent, like the video showed, requires a enemy to justify violence against.
The scary thing to me, is that so many common people are so eager to label other common people as the enemy. It's self-fulfilling
Or that the U.S. isn’t the bad guy. That would also be a mistake to make
@@destroytheboxes Is anyone not a 'bad guy' in your view?
War. War never changes.
@LibertyGoose American people are more critical of themselves than any other country probably. Constantly feeding into doomerism for a 100 years now
"An era of a weakening middle. Even a hollowing middle. And the expansion of the further-left and the further-right."
Sounds a lot like today.
WAOW 🤯🤯
How things always are
I agree. I think that the Far-Left and Far-Right are not the cause. I think they are a symptom.
The real cause is the increasing inequality in the advanced economies. Most people are becoming worse off and then will naturally choose an extreme Left or Right-wing as the cure, instead of looking at why lives are becoming more difficult.
Most people, whichever side they choose, want very similar things- decent and safe lives, and to be rewarded for hard work. That's what people aren't getting.
The Left-Right division is only making things worse.
There are alot of parts of this peice that remind me of today. I think this is purposeful on Ryan's part. So many dynamics are similar. Democracies that are war phobic, totalitarian states that have militaristic expansionist ambitions, faith in democratic institutions is low, more financial catastrophes loom, global cooperation between great powers seem at a low point...
The greatest change in dynamics is a MAD one: that being nukes. And there are many more differences but the parallels can't help chill one to the bone.
@@Thomas...191except every “democracy” in the west are the ones pushing for war.
One important thing you left out, which seems to be the case with all content about the Paris peace conference was the fact the China never signed the treaty. This was because despite being on the Allied side and contributing thousands of labourers to france to assist the war effort, many of whom dies digging trenches and building fortifications on the front line, the treaty ceded German colonial possessions in China to japan instead of returning them to China. This event almost single handedly cause the rise of nationalism in China. combined later with the League’s failure to defend China when Japan annexed Manchuria, it lead to disillusionment with Western values and democracy and a turn toward Communism as an alternative.
The chapter on the rise of nationalism in China is coming in the 3rd book...
Interesting…. Thank you for that insight
Damn. That explains so much.
Thank you for this comment, this actually explains so much of the consequences in China and even the current world affairs
China talks a lot about the hundred years of humiliation.
When a single dude makes a better non padded full info documentary, so better that it surpasses big Media houses. You sir, have a sub. Good work!
It’s taken me two days to finish this video, it’s amazing to me the audacity of human beings in power, they think they’re unstoppable. Something that still remains unchanged to this day sadly.
Think about trump becoming the next president. It will be like Hitler being reborn
like someone said. everybody has a plan until they get hit in the face. lol
Yep yep there is a psi experiment that preety much solidified the fact ww4 will be sticks n stones.
Talking bout the infamous prison experiment.
@@AnhNguyen-hn9vjMike Tyson
You clearly have no idea, as the video producer does not, what Hitler was trying to do.
You are the only channel i pay membership for, joined after watching only one of your videos. Quality work deserves respect.
Nice try, Ryan.
Ye
This was a thorough and easily understood historical account. It was so nice to hear (and see) a real human narrating the text. As a historian I acknowledge and appreciate the amount of work you put into this video. I am glad I found your channel. You have a new subscriber. Thank you, Ryan.
As a Ethiopian and who knows its history, I was amazed by the recognition and accuracy of the historical account though the atrocities were understated. Ethiopia was member of league of nation and is Founding member of United Nations.
hey man i am ethiopian too this is cool.

@@Austin-gj7zj Ethiopia thinking it matters
What you said 28:18 - 28:39 is exactly what I've learned from studying history extensively since the 4th grade. I'm 29 now. And I've gone so far back in history to understand every nations creation and fall. The patterns are yet again repeating again i fear. One of my favorite quotes is from Mark Twain. "History doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes".
I am Israel. I came to a land without a people for a people without a land. Those people who happened to be here, had no right to be here, and my people showed them they had to leave or die, razing 400 Palestinian villages to the ground, erasing their history.
I am Israel. Some of my people committed massacres and later became Prime Ministers to represent me. In 1948, Menachem Begin was in charge of the unit that slaughtered the inhabitants of Deir Yassin, including 100 women and children. In 1953, Ariel Sharon led the slaughter of the inhabitants of Qibya, and in 1982 arranged for our allies to butcher around 2,000 in the refugee camps of Sabra and Shatila.
I am Israel. Carved in 1948 out of 78% of the land of Palestine, dispossessing its inhabitants and replacing them with Jews from Europe and other parts of the world. While the natives whose families lived on this land for thousands of years are not allowed to return, Jews from all over the world are welcome to instant citizenship.
I am Israel. In 1967, I swallowed the remaining lands of Palestine - East Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza - and placed their inhabitants under an oppressive military rule, controlling and humiliating every aspect of their daily lives. Eventually, they should get the message that they are not welcome to stay, and join the millions of Palestinian refugees in the shanty camps of Lebanon and Jordan.
I am Israel. I have the power to control American policy. My American Israel Public Affairs Committee can make or break any politician of its choosing, and as you see, they all compete to please me. All the forces of the world are powerless against me, including the UN as I have the American veto to block any condemnation of my war crimes. As Sharon so eloquently phrased it, “We control America”.
I am Israel. I influence American mainstream media too, and you will always find the news tailored to my favor. I have invested millions of dollars into PR representation, and CNN, New York Times, and others have been doing an excellent job of promoting my propaganda. Look at other international news sources and you will see the difference.
I am Israel. You Palestinians want to negotiate “peace!?” But you are not as smart as me; I will negotiate, but will only let you have your municipalities while I control your borders, your water, your airspace and anything else of importance. While we “negotiate,” I will swallow your hilltops and fill them with settlements, populated by the most extremist of my extremists, armed to the teeth. These settlements will be connected with roads you cannot use, and you will be imprisoned in your little Bantustans between them, surrounded by checkpoints in every direction.
I am Israel. I have the fourth strongest army in the world, possessing nuclear weapons. How dare your children confront my oppression with stones, don’t you know my soldiers won’t hesitate to blow their heads off? In 17 months, I have killed 900 of you and injured 17,000, mostly civilians, and have the mandate to continue since the international community remains silent. Ignore, as I do, the hundreds of Israeli reserve officers who are now refusing to carry out my control over your lands and people; their voices of conscience will not protect you.
I am Israel. You want freedom? I have bullets, tanks, missiles, Apaches and F-16s to obliterate you. I have placed your towns under siege, confiscated your lands, uprooted your trees, demolished your homes, and you still demand freedom? Don’t you get the message? You will never have peace or freedom, because I am Israel.
True. You know who THEY are ! Can we do anything about it ?
Sounds fun
At 60 and having to commit to memory history , as far as nations , they all had a fallen angel they called a god simply because scriptures say that the fallen angels where divided into nations. 1/3 that fell comes to 178 as scholars agree too.🎉
And which state is currently actively disregarding UN and international law for its own nationalist ambitions?
Hint: It begins with I, ends with L, and continues to be actively funded by the US despite their desired incursions being declared illegal by the UN.
I appreciate in the deepest way possible all your dedication to making this knowledge widely accessible without compromising on critical rigor. We truly need more creators like you, especially these days, which happens to mark nearly a century since the events you described. Thank you sincerely, all the way from Guatemala. Keep up the good work.
An absolutely fantastic listen, thank you for this.
As someone that consumed a lot of WW2 content in my childhood I was surprised by how much I learnt from this, practically essential reading for all history classes IMO.
Excellent use of references. Highlighted and book thumbnailed in the corner. Stellar work. It’s too bad it’s so hard to do this level of production.
Personally, this is one of those high-quality videos where you need some good food and wine while watching.
Personally I wouldn’t be about to watch a horror movie and think about food/wine. This is potentially what’s coming again in the near future but on an even larger scale. This should terrify you.
@@Silks- I understand that. I am referring to Ryan Chapman's video and how the length of it, plus the quality of the video make it seem like a proper film. I argue though it is no different from people who watched Schindler's List or 1917 films in the cinemas who ordered popcorn and drinks beforehand. I do understand the sensitivity of the issue and believe me it terrified me and it was not entertaining. I research world politics as a full-time job as part of my PhD focused on warfare and still to this day, I am not amused about what has happened and what is going on, but unfortunately it is part of our nature to engage in conflict (big or small) so we must always be vigilant try to minimize it as much as possible.
@@christiana.1204 I had a feeling you meant it for a reason other than the surface appearance of the comment. I’m glad you’ve given it an explanation. All the best 👍
More wine than food for sure
Alcohol is poison and will destroy your body and mind.
This is so well done! I’m only an hour or so in but. . .wow!! I’m sharing this with my 4 adult children because I think they need to understand past history to really grasp what’s happening in the world today. The relevance is uncanny! Bravo, Ryan!!
This is literally one of THE BEST WW2 content I’ve ever seen!!! Learned more from you than I ever did in 4 years of High School! Keep doing you, man!! This is really good!
2 hour long Ryan Chapman video. It going to be a Good Friday
Or I'll it will scare me out of my ass
A good Good Friday
I see what you did there.😏
It was difficult to watch given some of the glaring omissions. Some so grave that the perspective offered in this video became almost propagandistic.
@@mral4381how so?
Our long term memory is just so short, and we dont learn from those that lived befofe us. History is cyclacal and repeats itself once a new generation gets to that point. History MUST be taught and we NEED TO listen.
A history based on truth and reality not revisionist rubbish. But the great deceiver and his minions are too agile
I couldn't agree more. I have a history major, having studied as a mature age student, and frequently despaired at the lack of basic historical knowledge of my peers. (I was old enough to be their mother!)
Look at how many of us even took time to watch this absolute master piece , just under a million , out of prolly 2-3 billion thst have access to CZcams , even if u just take the US, that’s 1-335Th or .03435% of the population …. It’s cuz so few of us even care about this and care enough to learn , even tho that means gaining the tools to prevent … we are doomed , we’ve been at odds since Wilson died exactly a century ago
Yeah but most nations teach fabricated versions of history or they leave out crucial information.
If there is a ww3 and we win, the United States will make up some bullshit story about how we did it for liberty 😂
@@kerryrowles5217 That’s not coincidental by the way
The painting at 41:37 is from 1835 and from Belgium. It's about the Belgian declaration of independence and is clearly nationalistic romantic (painted by Gustave Wappers that passed away in 1874). But not German nationalistic romantic from the 1920's.
Better analysis than any cable documentary and presented excellently. Thank You!!
Excellent breakdown of the political causes to WWII. The quality of your videos only grows over time!
@Rusnationalsocialist You replied
You really brought scholarship to life with this outstanding summation.
The most amazing overview of events i have ever heard. AMAZING detail. Love how you speak! Just wow!
I'm amazed by the impartial insight that you offered in this video. Big respect from Warsaw, Poland.
Almost a million views which means your hard work paid off. someone like me would never be interested in this history, but as a 34 year old mother now seeing our world collapse and desiring to know more to protect my child from what’s right and wrong with this world. I appreciate this so much. It’s so easy to understand. Thank you!
Our world is not collapsing. Most people are better off than they have ever been.
@sinatra222 the people of the 1900s believed the same thing and yet ww1 happened. Don't fool yourself into thinking that we have evolved enough to not let ww3 happen. Just look around and you'll see the same patterns that were presented in this video
@@felissylvestris6557The problem is boredom people who have it so good that don't have to put any effort into survival ! That have enough time to destroy property for the thrill of being in a big group ! Who the Democrats keep giving out money to end the family because separately people vote for Democrats 39% of single mothers vote Democrat when a family stays together they vote 75% Republican that's why they want to tare this country apart power money
@@sinatra222I wonder if these words have been spoken by someone in the months leading to ww1. There is a big chance that there will be something similar to a civil war in USA when elections happen. There is civil unrest in Europe on a scale that rivals that of the 1930s. There is war in Europe. The middle east Burns and Asia is falling into crisis. We live good. But for how long?
Focusing on right and wrong is the most important thing that can be done right now. If that is your priority everything else will fall in line and you and your child will persevere through what comes next.
I must say, I am a WW2 history nut. I have watched many CZcams videos and documentaries about how WW2 started and you Mr. Chapman gave the greatest explanation of how the war started that I ever seen.
I have subscribed and look forward to seeing your other videos and your future content.
Keep up the great work!!👍
Have you seen TIK I am a socialist? That’s my favorite. He does not only say socialism caused ww2 - he proves it. This guy in this vid says hitler started it. Well, yes, but let’s peal this onion back some
@@dogfacedponysoldier87 Sean Mcmeekin author of Stalins War has a pretty good explanation of how Stalin was equally if not more responsible for WW2 as Hitler. but somehow the left likes to claim that Stalin was a saviour of ww2
Then you’ll love Europa: The Last Battle
@@dogfacedponysoldier87 TIK is a conspiracy nutcase who is historically illiterate when it comes to politics. His assessments regarding 'was Hitler a socialist' has been widely debunked by the rest of the academic community/high profile published authors. If you listen to him as opposed to the 99.9% of historical studies then you're on the route to becoming a far right extremist /Nazi yourself
@@OhsoScary nazi propaganda conspiracy theory
At the end, I was in tears. Thank you for your contribution to society. Unbiased, descriptive yet easy to understand, this video is one of the best I've ever seen.
This was beautiful. I’ve never seen history explained so well, thank you! Sharing with everyone i know
For a proper analysis on the post-great-war period, well written, well researched, and without bias. Thank you so much.
Thank you!
Class act
Anyone studying ww2 always conveniently omits the heinous thing being done in the Weimar period. What kind of books were they burning and banning? "When victims rule" is a much better book looking into this time period. Shame on this "historian" for accepting money for yet another tried and tired and "safe" video. What a modernist farce.
There is clear bias
Sadly I see many of these same elements today in many nations. History does not repeat itself, but people sadly do because they fail to learn from history. Thank you Ryan Chapman for teaching people what we should never forget!
Something is slowly building up in the world, just have to wait and see what it'll be.
@@AFellowCyberman so true.
What a great video. Thank you for putting all the time you did into it. It was incredibly enlightening.
Dear Ryan, your tremendous efforts here continue to inspire and inform profoundly. Thank you so much for this and all your other video essays. Please continue to do this work - understanding history is so critical, lest we be doomed to repeat its worst excesses and tragedies.
One of my favorite channels ever! Your videos have really inspired my newfound passion for history, poly sci, law and ethics. As a STEM person I previously overlooked the importance of these topics, but now I am hooked. Haven’t even watched this one yet but I know it’s going to be great. Thank you!!
Do you generally find STEM more important than these topics? If so, how Oscar? Genuinely curious!
What is a STEM person?
I’m also in stem but I’ve loved history and politics much more
@@olivergilpinI personally don’t believe STEM is more important, however I think people view as more important as it is so focused on what is in the current. It is what decides our future in many ways, and it is what is used to create new ideas. Many forget the importance of humanities like history as they are seen as less ‘academic’, however if everyone valued history the same, chances are we would not see major political and historical issues repeating themselves. But that’s also just how I see it, and it’s important to get others views on it too.
@@ixophor Totally agree
Thank you for your insights and time to put together this video. The quality of information and presentation was first-class.
This history is very important and I'm glad you took the time and effort to create this. Well Done 👍
I'm italian and i can say the italian part was well done.
Leftists would add that rich capitalists were scared of a communist revolution and so supported Mussolini.
Lavader actually has a good video that debunks that claim. The Communists and Socialists mainly got booted out of the Farming Regions of Italy by not only The Fascists but also Farmers and peasants, of whom, ultimately were getting hurt by Socialist and Communist Policies.

God, really? Quit lecturing the Internet 😒
@@user-ek9vo2ub9b Well , fascism rose to power in Italy as a militia movement ( Squadrismo ) that was funded by farmers and business associations during the socialist uprising and labor unrest in the Biennio Rosso. 💯 Fascism protected private property and businesses when the weak liberal Italian government could no longer do it. Philip Morgan's book "Italian Fascism 1914-1945" has a good chapter on this titled "The Fascist Reaction"...💯💯💯

@@johnnysilverhand1733 This is completely false, we can see what your disastrous free market economics has done to the global south, their industries destroyed, foreign companies engaged in child labour and more abuses, exploitation of resources sent to the developed world, corruption and interference in politics, coups, genocides.

Simply outstanding. I learned so much, and, to be honest, it made me queasy for some parallels I see to today.

@@theskyizblue2day431YOU DON'T HAVE A CLUE ABOUT WHAT IT TAKE'S TO START WAR'S
Haven't finished it yet, but I gotta say, it's so refreshing to see a politics/history youtuber who tells it like it is and doesn't "have an agenda," if you will, and seems like they actually understand the topic more than just repeating a wikipedia article.
I agree he had something to add, and wasn't just restating common information about a topic in a different tone, or over video game footage. You can tell he is interested and cares about this topic and has thought about it deeply and tested those thoughts.
As a European and a German I must say that his perspective seems to be decisively that of a liberal American (without wanting to make this an attack on liberalism, I just want to point out that even this is a specific Lense through which history is observed), from the idolization of Wilson (who was definetly one of the better man of his time, but nothing more, especially when you consider the limitation of his ideas of self determination on a Handvoll of powerful western nations), to the misunderstanding of the impact that legal fixation of war guilt had on Europe (it may have been some words on a legal documents, but the people of both great continental powers, France and Germany, saw it as way more, a historical clarification of moral responsibility. Also he oversimplified the situation before the overthrow of the Russian Zar (Medieval sociatal Organisation with an according exploitation of peasants by noblemen was basically still in power). Not to forget the evidence that points towards the de facto military dictatorship of German at the end of World War One intentionally sending the democratic politicians instead of going themselves, to be able to strategically shift the blame of defeat onto them, even though they themselves initiated the process of peace talks. I could continue portraying a alternative German counter narrative, but I just wanted to point some possible interpretations of history out to get to the following point .
Seeing something and thinking that it is free of ideology is always a big warning sign, that should be met with a critical analytical approach towards one’s own underlining convictions, as it can be a sign that one self is falling into a bubble of ideology, making one unable to see that the perspective taken is not universal and objective but still a specific perspective with underlying elements shaping what you see.
@@roundthoughts4644 I get what your saying, I just meant relatively speaking compared to how you usually see people present the series of events that lead to wwII, this is about as "agenda-free" as you could hope for, without being completely dry and free from analysis.

Thanks for your take. Well produced !
Very well put together piece. Many thanks
this is a shockingly good description of events, including a lot angles and perspectives that peice the various mounting tensions together very meaningfully. A+
We still don't know if things happened how its being told. Looking at the propaganda Media nowadays let me question the past. what they tell is just historically told by the winnners.
Noone knows the actual situation back then.
I can see a lot of parallels to 100 years ago.
Giving lots of money to other countries, flooding countries with immigrants and demonising the right wing and trying to ban them.
That what happened 100 years ago. And it will happen again. But I doubt it's a coincidence. Seems all planed. Israel was created to bring armagedon and to fulfill all the prophecies. So it's inevitable
This is the most incredible video I have seen on CZcams. Thank you Ryan.

The treaties of WWI were major contributing factors in creating WWII.
Of course they were
... and the Balfour declaration along with the Potsdam agreement are responsible for the situation the world currently finds itself.
Of course not, it was all that evil mustache man. Don’t you dare try to bring the truth into this!
Yeah, that’s what the video said also
@@UncleJunSushi but I said it in 3 seconds
This was amazing, thank you so much for putting this together. Well done!
Thank you for educating us on a very important topic. For the algorithm.
Absolutely phenomenal. Thoroughly researched and superbly communicated.
This is the first video of yours I've watched, I'll definitely check out some more. I think this was a really well done outline of the events leading up to WW2. I like that it wasn't unnecessarily colored with personal political opinion or national perspective (as best as can be expected, we're all from somewhere after all).
I think something a lot of people seem to miss while watching historical documentaries like these, are that these events including the war itself took place over a rather long period of time. Tension and conflict didn't develop, peak and conclude over a single year or even single decade. It spans multiple decades and multiple causes and effects. Well done.
Thank you for this excellent video
This was beautifully put
Listened and subscribed

Excellent. Many thanks for this great work
My grandmother was born in the Free City of Danzig in 1932, to a german father and polish mother. Her stories of those times and the war are harrowing, especially in March 1945 when the Soviet Army was approaching, her family hiding in the woods for a week before german soldiers conscripted her father in exchange to get her mother and the kids onto a refugee ship to Denmark. There, they were able to live in refugee camps, but given no medical care, no assistance, barely any food, and all were forced to do hard labor. Thousands of women and children died. Because they were viewed as the "enemy".... After 4 years, they were able to go to Hamburg where her father got work, and eventually she immigrated to USA by herself in 1955. Married an army officer/cowboy, had 4 kids, now 9 grandkids and 3 great grandkids. She is still living, in california. I talk to her as often as I can on the phone since I live far away. She tells me, something big and bad is coming soon. It's coming again, she says. You better get ready. 😟
This video was really amazing details and great flow, some stuff I didn't know before, and it was incredible to watch, I hope to find more of this content from you. You did a great job. Thanks for reading if you did, I just wanted to share because I know she likes when people hear her story. She tries to share it on facebook, but no one really sees it. Her story is the kind that doesn't often get heard. But is important none the less.
I love her story.
The old ones who saw what happened in their time see the pattern repeating. Even younger folks who have fled authoritarian regimes & have come to the U.S. for freedom, are seeing the repeating pattern of tyranny here also & try to warn us! I'm listening!!!
Thank you for sharing!
Amazing. The profoundly weak international leadership of Joe Biden is chumming the waters for all who would seek the destruction of the US as that world leader. Strong American leadership means a safer world for good people.
Thank you for that wonderful share. I am so happy to hear a beautiful ending.
Have you thought of making videos of her stories? Whether it’s just audio or if she’s willing to talk to the camera.
I think you are right about it being important to know, especially since she witnessed war.
Thanks for this Ryan.
I appreciate all the effort and details you ingrained in this video. As an SE asian, our history has always been centered around OUR own history and my schooling of WWI has been comically lackluster. Since about 25 years ago though I had a burning desire to know more about it - but almost all resources only dove into the actual war as it started and the aftermath. This is probably the only resource Ive seen that delves deep right into the source, and youve done it beautifully.
Great video. Glad I found your channel
What an amazing video. What I'm taking away from this is that history may not literally repeat itself, but it rhymes, and there is A LOT of rhyming going on these days
I've never seen so many spontaneous donations in a comments section before, and well deserved I must say.
pretty obvious where all the donos are coming from.
