In which John Green teaches you about Nationalism. Nationalism was everywhere in the 19th century, as people all over the world carved new nation-states out of old empires. Nationalist leaders changed the way people thought of themselves and the places they lived by reinventing education, military service, and the relationship between government and governed. In Japan, the traditional feudal society underwent a long transformation over the course of about 300 years to become a modern nation-state. John follows the course of Japanese history from the emergence of the Tokugawa Shogunate to the Meiji Restoration, and covers Nationalism in many other countries along the way. All this, plus a special guest appearance, plus the return of an old friend on a extra-special episode of Crash Course.

In which John Green teaches you about one of the least funny subjects in history: slavery. John investigates when and where slavery originated, how it changed over the centuries, and how Europeans and colonists in the Americas arrived at the idea that people could own other people based on skin color.

Slavery has existed as long as humans have had civilization, but the Atlantic Slave Trade was the height, or depth, of dehumanizing, brutal, chattel slavery. American slavery ended less than 150 years ago. In some parts of the world, it is still going on. So how do we reconcile that with modern life? In a desperate attempt at comic relief, Boba Fett makes an appearance.

Released as a single January 23, 1984

THE SHORT FILM
Director: John Landis
Primary Production Location: Los Angeles, California

Michael Jackson's short film for "Thriller" was the third of three short films produced for recordings from Thriller, which continues its reign as the biggest selling album of all time with worldwide sales in excess of 105 million as of June 1, 2016 and in December 2015 became the first ever album to be awarded triple diamond status (i.e.: sales in excess of 30 million) by the RIAA for US sales alone. The "Thriller" single reached No. 1 in four countries in 1984, topping the U.S. Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart as well as charts in Spain, France and Belgium. The song peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100, making Thriller the first album to feature seven Top 10 singles. The Recording Industry Association of America certified "Thriller" Gold and Platinum on December 4, 1989.

The groundbreaking short films for the Thriller album, starting with "Billie Jean," following up with "Beat It" and culminating with the epic, nearly 14-minute "Thriller," truly expanded the possibilities of "music video" as art form. "I wanted something that would glue you to the set, something you'd want to watch over and over," Michael wrote in his 1988 memoir Moonwalk. "I wanted to be a pioneer in this relatively new medium and make the best short music movies we could make."

In the short film's extended prologue, Michael's moonlit date with his girlfriend (played by model Ola Ray) is interrupted by his sudden transformation into a howling werewolf. While the "real" Michael and Ola, observing the scene in a movie theater, walk home from the their date, Michael teases her by singing the verses of "Thriller."

Michael Jackson's short film for ""Billie Jean"" was the first of three short films produced for recordings from Thriller, which continues its reign as the biggest selling album of all time with worldwide sales in excess of 105 million as of June 1, 2016 and in December, 2015 became the first ever album to be awarded triple diamond status by the RIAA for US sales alone. The ""Billie Jean"" single reached No. 1 in 10 countries in the spring of 1983, including seven consecutive weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100 - becoming the second-highest selling single in America that same year.

""Billie Jean"" was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America on April 4, 1983, and Platinum on February 4, 1989. The song won two Grammy Awards for Best R&B Song and Best R&B Performance - Male, as well as an American Music Award for Favorite Single - Pop/Rock and was also named the Single of the Year on The Village Voice Pazz & Jop critics' poll in 1983.

The short film featured a paparazzo attempting to photograph Jackson as he danced through an urban landscape. A specially created set featured steps and sidewalk tiles that lit up underneath Michael's feet. It is here that fans first saw some of Michael's best-known dance moves, such as spinning and landing on his toes. Many of Michael's steps and mannerisms in the video would become forever associated with The King of Pop.

""[W]hen the chorus hit.he sprung into this dance that was unlike anything I'd ever seen,"" director Steve Barron recounted of Jackson's choreography in the video. ""It was just extraordinary, instinctive. He pulled it all together and turned it into what we saw.The camera literally steamed up, the eyepiece steamed up, because of my heat from what I was seeing."" Barron also recalled the crew breaking into spontaneous applause after Michael finished dancing.

The ""Billie Jean"" short film made history as the first video by a black artist to be played in heavy rotation on MTV, then in its second year. In 1992, the short film was inducted into the Music Video Producers Hall of Fame. MTV ranked ""Billie Jean"" as the 35th greatest music video of all time in 1999, one of three entries of Jackson's on the chart alongside ""Thriller"" and ""Beat It.""

"Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" was the first short film of Michael Jackson's solo career, filmed in 1979 for the No. 1 hit single from 'Off the Wall.' "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough," directed by Nick Saxon, was the jumping off point for the elaborate and groundbreaking "short films" Michael would go on to create throughout his career.

Released as a single July 10, 1979

THE SHORT FILM
Director: Nick Saxon

Although all of Michael Jackson's music videos are referred to as short films, the short films for Off the Wall, Michael's first solo album for Epic Records, are more classic "music videos," as they are performance clips rather than scripted stories. Michael's short film for "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" was the first of the three short films produced for recordings from that album. The single reached No. 1 in eight countries in 1979, topping Billboard's Hot 100, Hot Soul Singles and Hot Disco Singles charts as well as the Cash Box Top 100.

"Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America on November 29, 1979, and Platinum on February 14, 1989. The song won Michael his first solo Grammy Award for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance in 1980, as well as his first American Music Award for Favorite Single (Soul/R&B). "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" was ranked No. 9 on the 100 Best Songs of the '70s by NME and No. 16 on VH1's list of 100 Greatest Dance Songs.

"That song means a lot to me because it was the first song I wrote as a whole," Michael wrote in his 1988 memoir Moonwalk. "'Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough' was my first big chance, and it went straight to Number One. It was the song that won me my first Grammy. Quincy had the confidence in me to encourage me to go into the studio by myself, which I appreciated."

The short film featured Michael in performance against a dazzling background of geometric shapes and patterns. Wearing a tuxedo similar to his outfit on the Off the Wall album cover, Jackson sings and dances to the song, at one point even dancing with two other clones of himself, achieved through the magic of special effects.

In the U.S., ""Dirty Diana"" was the fifth of five consecutive No. 1 singles from one album on the Billboard Hot 100-making Michael the first artist to achieve this milestone.

The ""Dirty Diana"" short filmcaptures the high-intensity live experience of a concert performance, featuring Michael and members of his Bad World Tour band alongside Billy Idol guitarist Steve Stevens, who played lead guitar on the track. Michael sings and dances to the song, as theaction periodically cuts to footage of a beautiful girl exiting a car and walking through an alley. At the end of the short film, Michael leaves the stage and opens a car door, where the mysterious woman is waiting for him. Stevens would later recount his awe at Jackson's energetic performance in the video, at one point sliding through the guitarist's legs as he played.

In 1989, the 2nd Annual World Music Awards named ""Dirty Diana"" the Viewers Choice No. 1 Video. Michael himself was inducted into the World Music Hall of Fame that same year.

THE SHORT FILM
Director: Patrick T. Kelly
Primary Production Location: Wembley Stadium, London, England

Michael Jackson's short film for "Another Part of Me" was the fifth of nine short films produced for recordings from Bad, one of the best selling albums of all time. The "Another Part of Me" single hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Black Singles chart in the United States and reached the Top 10 in Ireland, Germany, The Netherlands, Belgium and Switzerland. In the U.S., "Another Part of Me" also reached No. 11 on the Billboard Hot 100.

The "Another Part of Me" short film is a live concert film recorded on Michael's Bad World Tour in the summer of 1988, as the tour made its way through Europe following a successful run through the United States in the winter and spring of that year. The short film captures the sheer excitement of a live Michael Jackson performance, with fans cheering wildly as he sang and danced across the stage at Wembley Stadium, where he played for five consecutive sold-out nights before a crowd that included members of the Royal Family. The vibrant live band for the Bad World Tour included longtime collaborators Greg Phillinganes on keyboards, Jonathan "Sugarfoot" Moffett on drums and a group of background vocalists that included a young Sheryl Crow.

The Bad World Tour earned Michael awards and acclaim around the world. In 1988, the tour set four Guinness World Records for Most Successful Concert Series, Most Sold Out Shows At Wembley Stadium, Highest Grossing Tour by a Male Solo Artist and Largest Attendance of Audience. In 2011, NME named the Wembley shows one of "21 Seminal Gigs You'd Sell Your House to Have Seen," praising him for "moonwalk[ing] his way through three hours of generation-defining classics."

THE SHORT FILM
Director: Will Vinton

Michael Jackson's short film for ""Speed Demon"" was the ninth and final short film produced for recordings from Bad, one of the best selling albums of all time. ""Speed Demon"" was released as a promotional single in the United States, the 10th of 11 songs from the album to earn a single release-an unprecedented achievement.

The ""Speed Demon"" short film, released as part of Michael's feature-length film Moonwalker in 1989 and featuring the groundbreaking ""Claymation"" of Will Vinton (who also worked with Michael in a Claymation ad for the California Raisins), was another humorous take on the media attention Michael was receiving at the time and Michael's attempts to escape the attention ""in disguise"" - wearing a Claymation rabbit head. The short film features a number of Claymation characters, including cameos by The Noid, the Vinton-created spokesperson for Domino's Pizza, as well as caricatures of celebrities like Sylvester Stallone, Tina Turner and Pee-wee Herman and featuring ""Spike,"" a man-sized Claymation rabbit who magically comes to life and engages in a dance-off with Michael after he changes out of the Spike costume.

The dance-off is stopped by a motorcycle cop writing a ticket for Michael dancing in a ""No Dancing"" zone-ironically getting the ""autograph"" that the others had sought. As Michael mounts the motorcycle to leave, he smiles as a distant rock formation turns into the winking face of Spike.

The short film for Michael Jackson's ""Smooth Criminal"" was the centerpiece of the feature film Moonwalker, and featured the debut of Michael's iconic ""anti-gravity lean."" Inspired in part by Fred Astaire's ""Girl Hunt Ballet"" dance number in the film The Band Wagon, ""Smooth Criminal"" was named Best Video at the BRIT Awards, Broadcast Film Critics Association and the People's Choice Awards.

THE SHORT FILM
Director: John Landis
Primary Production Location: Los Angeles, California

Michael Jackson's short film for "Black or White" was the first of nine short films produced for recordings from Dangerous, Michael's fourth album as an adult solo performer. As a single, "Black or White" was an international sensation, topping the charts in 20 countries in 1991 and 1992, including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Spain, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand.

"Black or White" was certified Gold and Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America on January 6, 1992. The song was also nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Performance - Male in 1993. Both "Black or White" and its follow-up "Remember the Time" received BMI Urban Awards in 1993 for being two of the most performed songs of the year.

The ambitious "Black or White" short film again found Michael pushing the boundaries of the "music video" as art form. (This edited version of the short film was created for mainstream airtime after controversy arose over the final "panther sequence.")

An extended prologue stars Macaulay Culkin as a boy whose father (George Wendt) is angered by the playing of loud rock music after bedtime. After being admonished for "wasting your time with this garbage," Culkin vengefully plugs a guitar into an enormous speaker, blasting his father out of the house and across the globe, still sitting in his easy chair.

THE SHORT FILM
Directors: Jim Blashfield & Paul Diener
Primary Production Location: Los Angeles, California

Michael Jackson's short film for "Leave Me Alone" was the seventh of nine short films produced for recordings from Bad, one of the best selling albums of all time. While "Leave Me Alone," exclusive to the CD edition of Bad, was not released as a single in the United States, it reached the Top 10 in eight countries throughout Europe, including the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Spain, Poland, Norway and Ireland (where it reached No. 1).

"Leave Me Alone" was the first of Michael's songs to directly comment on the media frenzy that often surrounded him. "The price of fame can be a heavy one," he wrote in his 1988 memoir Moonwalk. "Consider that you really have no privacy. You can't really do anything unless special arrangements are made. The media prints whatever you say. They report whatever you do.I think my image gets distorted in the public's mind. They don't get a clear or full picture of what I'm like."

The "Leave Me Alone" short film features images of Michael singing from the fronts of various tabloids and newspapers, before Michael travels by rocket ship through a surreal amusement park built around a giant Michael tied down like Gulliver in the classic book Gulliver's Travels. We follow Michael as he guides the rocket through various send-ups of press reports from his life and career, including a shrine to actress Elizabeth Taylor and even the bones of Joseph Merrick, the "Elephant Man," who Michael dances with toward the end of the short film.

Along the way, he picks up his pet chimpanzee, Bubbles, and his boa constrictor, Muscles, and is "hounded" by members of the press, represented as dogs superimposed onto human bodies. At the end of the short film, a giant Michael emerges from the center of the amusement park, breaking free of the roller coaster tracks and other diversions that were built upon him.

THE SHORT FILM
Director: David Fincher

Michael Jackson’s short film for “Who Is It” was the seventh of nine short films produced for recordings from Dangerous, Michael’s fourth album as an adult solo performer. As a single, “Who Is It” reached the Top 10 in nine countries, including Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Ireland and Germany. In the United States, the song reached No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Dance Club Songs and Hot Dance Music/Maxi-Singles Sales charts.

The “Who Is It” short film was directed by David Fincher, a Grammy and MTV Video Music Award-winning director who has since directed Oscar-nominated feature films including Se7en, Fight Club and The Social Network. Fincher’s dark, expressionistic visual style complements the tone of “Who Is It.” In the short film, Michael sings of heartbreak over a lover, while the woman he sings about changes costumes and identities for her work as a high-class call girl. Michael leaves town and her at the end of the short film, and his assistant hands her the calling cards she offered her clients, making sure she realizes that Michael found out about her infidelity.

In Moonwalker, after the "Smooth Criminal" short film concludes with Michael defeating Mr. Big (Joe Pesci) and reuniting with his friends, Michael brings them back to Club '30s for special backstage access to one of his concerts, where he thrills the crowd with an upbeat rendition of "Come Together."
