American monkeys' rich and new monkey technologies coming out.

"We in America today are nearer to the final triumph over poverty than ever before in the history of any land."

But before we go back, first we have to go further back.

With the help of Today's sponsor, MyHeritage DNA.

Monkey often wonders, where does he come from?

With the MyHeritage DNA test, Monkey can finally start to climb his own family tree,

explore his geographic origin and discover long lost family members.

After a few weeks, monkey gets his results back.

MyHeritage's DNA test will reveal an ethnicity estimate and DNA matches to previously unknown relatives.

Because it covers more regions than any other test, Monkey can now see not only who his ancestors were,

Curious George, King Kong, Charles Darwin?!

Monkey also discovers thousands of distant relatives all over the world.

All these monkeys share a small piece of DNA.

Man, this year's family reunion is gonna be bananas.

Myheritage is offering a bundle that includes the DNA test, a 30-day-free trial, free shipping,

and he ancient origins feature so you can look really far back, plus so much more.

I mean, look, they're literally the same price.

And thanks to MyHeritage for sponsoring this video.

The Monkey War to End All Monkey Wars - World War I is over.

4 million American monkey soldiers return home.

But when monkeys get back, monkeys find most of their old jobs are gone.

But unemployment still low, around 1.4% and the banana market is steady.

Monkeys now transition from making military items to civilian goods.

But monkey demand is much higher than monkey supply.

Everyday goods like food, fuel and housing suddenly cost more leaves.

The demand is so high that more than 4 million monkeys, about 20% of American monkey workforce go on strike from high workload and low pay.

But even so, banana market starts to rise.

Monkeys think economy will go up after war.

To try and help, Monkey Federal Reserve steps in, raising interest rates,

which makes it more expensive to borrow leaves from monkey bank.

Monkey companies now can't afford loans to open new factories.

Which means some monkey workers fired to cut costs.

Unemployment almost doubles to nearly 12%.

And monkeys have no unemployment insurance, no welfare program.

Future monkeys will call this time "The Roaring Twenties."

Monkey government learned that making it more expensive to get loan from monkey bank causes problems.

Which means that making it cheaper to get loan from monkey bank must cause no problems, right?

Monkey companies start to borrow leaves from monkey banks.

Monkey workers build more monkey factories.

Goods are cheap and monkeys are now spending more leaves as there's more things for monkeys to buy.

Things like refrigerators, washing machines, vacuums.

Radios in every monkey home to advertise more and more products.

One invention is the Model T car made by Henry Ford.

Monkey workers can now make cars in 90 minutes, not 12 hours.

Ford sells cars to almost a million monkeys.

Soon, every monkey company is using this new belt technology to mass produce their products.
