Yes, I did call Italy the Iberian peninsula. My bad! That's definitely Spain.
And Portugal :)
@@RubenJansen-jy6cv which is not spain
@mauer1 nor is it France
@@Frosty_47 Although part of southern France and Andorra are also in the Iberian peninsula

Oversimplified did a really good job with the animation for this video, no wonder it took him over a year 😅
hey
They're just doing history in real time lol.
And this guy just stole his whole video
@@lollandgibbons878he states who its from, and youtube detects its from another youtuber, so all the monetization money automatically goes to oversimplified, and not him. vlogging through history just reacts and gives more insight into the videos :)
tell him texancowboy@@laylakaylabayla
God can I just say how furious I am that Oversimplified didn't exist when I was in school. And follow up channels like VTH that pause, break it down, look things up, add context and clarity. All I had was dry textbooks and multiple choice quizzes.
I've been looking forward to this since the announcement and teaser video.
As a historian in the making, I enjoy all of the new history channels (oversimplified was around during my high school years, but I'm not a native English speaker, so I didn't have full access until a few years into my high school years) because it allows many, many more kids to be more interested in history
haha same man, if I had Chris's channel in highschool it would've made History a lot easier
Well to be fair man there's plenty of great history books you could have read. Herodotus histories is fantastic and actually reads like a modern book today considering it's like 2500 years old LMAO.
When you grow up with none of the tech and entertainment that’s available now, reading history books is like watching a movie.
Oversimplified Carried me through middle school history
16:14 New Carthage is today the Spanish city of "Cartagena." Also speaking of Spain, the city of Barcelona is said to have been named after the Barca family because of the Carthaginian legacy.
really, pretty cool stuff!
I think we all appreciate that you make sure to ask everyone to watch the original video first
ok, anyway
@@michaelharder3055 Oversimplified gets all the money from VTH's oversimplified reactions. VTH doesn't make any money from the video but I guess he does get exposure for his channel.
And thats exactly what i did ^.^ and now i will watch the video again with commentary
I did think the norm was to not review a video until it has been out for a week or two.
It is generous of VTH to give all profits back to the creator.
@@Jbird1988 it's an automatic feature I believe. TH-cam has it set up that way for content creators. Folks just don't know the nuances
Hannibal is my favorite historical general of all time. It's such a natural story if you think about it. Would make an amazing Shakespearean tragedy.
Napoleon and Hannibal had one thing in common, they both crossed the alps
Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus is my favorite. The greatest general Rome ever produced.
@@DenariusHaveNarius@Taskicore okay, you are now both legally obliged to fight to the death! 🤣
@@DenariusHaveNariusAlthough I must disagree, I'm an Agrippa fanboy.
@@DenariusHaveNariusMarcus Agrippa and Emperor Aurelian may have Scipio Afiricanus beat but one thing is undeniable, scipio clearly and decisively defeated Romes Greatest Boogyman, two other men would later follow his example; Flavius Aetius Against Attila the Hun in the 450s and Emperor Heraclius against the Sassinid Empire between 602-628
All five men certainly earned their place in elysium!
One of the very few people that the Roman Empire was afraid of was Hannibal. Things would have been different for Carthage if they had better logistics while not relying on soldiers of fortune.
Main example of this, the 3rd Punic war. Carthage got absolutely destroyed
Even when Caesar marched on Rome, Cicero asked "Who marches on Rome, a Roman general, or Hannibal?" Hannibal was one of the greats of all antiquity.
If the judges of Carthage developed more backbone they would win this war eazy. The main reason why the whole ordeal was a penance for Hannibal is that the lack of monetary and manpower support by Carthage.
If you just had a disastrous defeat few years ago, you would drastically reform your military. You wouldn't rely on passive strategies and mercenary troopers
Hannibal's last words - "Let us now relieve the Romans of their fears by the death of a feeble old man."
@@sirfallsalot2000 The 3rd Punic war was over before it began. Even though the siege of Carthage took quite a while, Carthage was done for as soon as the war started.
They had 0 chance.
And the thrid war was absolutly uncalled for. Carthage did absolutly nothing wrong, they fullfilled everything that was required of them in the peace treaty after the second war.
They paid reparations, they provided sailors for the Roman navy...
The destruction of Carthage was the one thing in Roman history I do not like at all, almost every other thing they did was justified and ok. But the third Punic war was just bad.
32:16 Just to be clear, this is not Scipio Africanus who faced Hannibal at Zama who was sent to hold Hannibal in Iberia though. This is his father, also named Publius Cornelius Scipio. Scipio Africanus (who is around 18 about this time) is a lower ranking officer at this point in history. (Source: HistoryMarche TH-cam)
And Oversimplied notes this showing Scipo the Younger rescuing his old man.
@@emberfist8347 imagine if scipio the younger died in that battle. Rome might have fallen and the world would be very different for sure
@@proximitive3872 Carthadge didn't really stand a chance against rome during the second punic war, the only reason it seemed like it was was because Hannibal was an outsanding general on par with the likes of Napoleon.
At this point Rome was just too big, too populace and too hard headed to be beaten by carthage. The battle of Cannine was dissastrious for not only Rome but Hannibal too as it drained all of his manpower and recourses, his defeat was inevatable at that point.
I have to commend Hanibal for being able wage on 20 years of geurrila warfare in Italia but his efforts were probably better suited for taking over the Middle-east or something, as that could strengthen carthage enough for a future punic war.
@@blauwbeer556why couldn't he go back through alps after battle of cannine?
@@namastehindustan9879 I don't want to come off as rude but if you watched the Oversimplified videos you'll notice that going through the Alps may as well be a battle of Cannine for Hannibal.
He lost 75% of his army and only had like ~80 elephants left. Trying to go back *through the Alps* would be just as catastrophic, and that's assuming he can get even get there. By this point most of Roman Italia was completly Romanized with only the northern and southern part feeling resentment against the regime meaning that Hannibal can't recruit that many locals to their side and worse: everybody is an enemy.
Again, his army was completly depleted after Cannine. Getting to the Alps through hostile lands would be a massive challange on its own, and then going through the Alps? It would be impossible, i'd be surprised if Hannibal himself would survive that journey, let alone a not useless army.
Getting to Italia from the alps is like preforming an amphibious invasion and then burning the ships down so that there would be no escape, there was no turning back an Hannibal knew that. This is why he resorted to guerrila warfare for the next 20 years instead of leaving, at least with geurrila warfare he can also harm Rome whilst leaving would *only* hurt himself.
7:50 There's a reason why the famed economist John Maynard Keynes called the Treaty of Versailles reparations imposed on Germany after World War One the "Carthaginian Peace" way back in 1919. It ended up enraging a powerful country that, in response to its own humiliation, saw the rise of highly capable and vengeful military leaders and the emergence of another major war.
Versailles is generally overblown. ut wasn't really more punishing than most other surrenders of the period. the germans were just shocked they got treated like others would be, because the idea of supremacy was already widely spread
@@jurgnobs1308 Right, the market crash in 1929 is what really sent Germany into a spiral
@@David-sl6xf Germany's economic woes came from the way the Germans funded ww1, in essence they cannibalized their own economy and would have suffered huge economic issues even if they had won. One of the reasons they refused to concede to a compromise in the war was that they NEEDED French reparations' to save their collapsing economy, which in turn made the war last longer, which in turn made them need those reparations' even more. By the end of the war communist uprisings were occurring all over the country largely due to the non-existent economy (as well as widespread famine). Versailles then compounded this, then the crash reverted most of the progress they made
@@animatorofanimation128 IIRC, Germany made many peace offerings during WWI that the Entente rejected.
Although Oversimplified didn't show it, I remember reading that when Fabius Maximus said, "Then I choose war!", the Carthaginian Senators replied, "And we accept it!" If that really happened historically and just wasn't made up by Polybius, that would have been an epic moment.
Its plausible that it happened. Ancient people had a thing for dramatic symbolism.
@@LegioXXI equally likely Polybius made it up
Actually, the Scipio sent to Iberia was Scipio the elder. His son, Scipio the younger was the one who would defeat Hannibal at Zama and become Scipio Africanus.
Yes but younger did go to spain too and he did a hanniball too there after Hannibals brother hmmm no u see in part 3 or 4
To be fair Roman history is a nightmare because they literally never distinguish between people with the same name and the same family in consistent ways.
And there is also Scipio (The Grandson) Aemilianus which is famous for burning Carthage to the ground once and for all. Lots of Scipio's yeah lmao
Given how this episode starts I feel obligated to quote Machiavelli's take on mercenaries "I say, therefore, that the arms with which a prince defends his state are either his own, or they are mercenaries, auxiliaries, or mixed. Mercenaries and auxiliaries are useless and dangerous; and if one holds his state based on these arms, he will stand neither firm nor safe; for they are disunited, ambitious and without discipline, unfaithful, valiant before friends, cowardly before enemies; they have neither the fear of God nor fidelity to men, and destruction is deferred only so long as the attack is; for in peace one is robbed by them, and in war by the enemy. The fact is, they have no other attraction or reason for keeping the field than a trifle of stipend, which is not sufficient to make them willing to die for you".
I highly recommend anyone even kinda into history to read the prince and everything else from Machiavelli
He spit FACTS - and he also have one of the best texts of the Roman Republic, in which he based his political treatise, "The Prince".
Yeah he was talking very much about his time’s recent history with them with about 100 years of them working out pretty great before that, way fewer people died- especially citizens, and everyone got richer so while they definitely have clear downsides but as per uszhe Machiavelli ignores the good of the alternatives.
Ladies and gentlemen.... We got him
Oversimplified+VTH is the second best combination right after island countries and naval power
Totally agreed. It’s simplified+desimplified
"Island countries and naval power" Hey! Don't discount us Dutchies ;)
@@willemthijssen1082tbh you guys are like an island nation in spirit
What about peanut butter and jelly? Waffles and fried chicken?
@@christopherjohns1566 That's not even better than taco and beef
Someone said oversimplified taught us 2 lessons:
History
Patience 😭
Holy.... we get 2 parts of an Oversimplified's video and get a reaction from VTH in the same day? Today is a blessing.
I feel like an overdog 😊
Exciting morning for me! Watched parts 1 and 2 and now review...my son says, didn't you JUST watch this?
YES.
Mercenaries: *goes into trouble within carthage*
Hamilcar: *punished it severely*
“The Carthaginian rebel upset Hamilcar.. who punished him severely”
I find it funny in the least insulting way possible that VTH goes on a mini speech about how Hannibal vs. Scipio is one of the greatest showdowns in history when he's talking about the wrong Scipio
That look on his face when OS said Hasdrubal was both Habbicar's son-in-law and boyfriend at the same time. 😂😂😂
It is the return of the king. Oversimplified is by far the best edited historical content on youtube.
I agree
Comedy + Education, this is the kind of history lesson that every schoolkid should have.
Kings and Generals is a better channel imo.
I love Kings and Generals. for historical research among the goats. But for pure entertainment? Oversimplified all thew way. @@ThwipThwipBoom
@@amrosh791 I learn to gain knowledge not entertainment personally.
The KING HAS RETURN! Never been said better ever!
The Catan easter egg is actually an amazing tribute to the late Klaus Teuber, the game's designer.
He got into board games when he was a kid because he was given a war game about Rome & Carthage.
It was probably called Mediterranean or some sort of similar spelling at the time. But the theme of Rome & Carthage is the same, and the latest version of it is called Rome & Carthage.
As someone said: this is where the fun begins
Ah, general Skywalker!
As the same person said: I don't like sand. It's coarse, and rough, and irritating, and it gets everywhere.
“General Grevious, you’re shorter than I expected.”
Scipio to Hannibal:
My powers have doubled since the last time we've met, general.
32:22 This one is the father. The showdown was between his elder son (who was bearing the same name) and Hannibal.
I was also confused when I watched the original video. So many scipios.
Patrichian Roman Families had the original idea of naming all their Children exactly the same after yourself.
These have to be the most eagerly anticipated videos on TH-cam. I even phoned my history student daughter to squeal at her that this had finally dropped. And she was downstairs. Couldn't be bothered running down the stairs to tell her. One of the early comments on this video had more than 25K likes after just 4 hours.
You made a mistake refereeing to the Scipio sent to Spain as Hannibal's Rival. This is not Scipio Africanus, this is his father at this point.
32:22 I think you are referring to Scipio's son, Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus, who was the actual military genius going head to head against Hannibal. This is not that Scipio in this year. This is his father, Publius Cornelius Scipio, who did challenge Hannibal, but ended up wounded in combat, and would be killed in action in a later conflict.
Hannibal with that Grinch face 😂
Never expected that from Oversimplied the fight animations were also surprisingly fluid.
“If you like the Saguntise so much, perhaps you should SagunDEEZ NUTS” - Hannibal Barca, 219 BC
This is the official canonical Carthaginian declaration of war and nobody will tell me otherwise.
I believe that this was his best animation yet, the ending of the second one gave me chills
The last one that did that was the ending of the civil war part two, with the bit about Abe Lincon.
Same
The Publius Cornelius Scipio at the beginning was actually his father, although both him and his elder son have the same name, his son would be famously known as Scipio 'Africanus'.
Scipio was called Scipo the Younger as Oversimplified notes.
Someone on Mr. Terry’s reaction video to this already noted it, but does anybody else see all the WW2 parallels to the Second Punic War; victorious power takes the defeated foe’s land and forces them to pay a huge load of money, defeated foe get’s taken over by extremist leader who hates the ruling establishment for “stabbing the country in the back by cowardly and traitorously surrendering in the last war” in his eyes, defeated foe makes huge economic recovery after extremist takes power and adds more and more territory to the country, etc.
It gets even worse when you realize the aftermath of both mirror each other too.
Both empires coming out as the dominant force, getting decadent on the perch as they cannabalize themselves in social and political factionalism. Now we just wait for the Civil War Arc again.
The Second Punic War ! One of the war that change the most the Antique world by his incredible military leaders like Hannibal Barca, Quintus Fabius Maximus and Scipio Africanus....Hannibal showed the world how to encircle a greater force with a weaker army, Fabius and his Fabian Tactic of delaying and weakening his opponent and Scipio and his family who learned from Hannibal tactics and destroyed the Carthaginian empire ! It's the war that defined Rome as an empire and again, showed is magical ability to make infinite legion ! Again, Oversimplified gave us a great episode !!
Reaction video in the sameday the ordinale videos come out? Seems a little fast..
Sorry but the Scipio that marched his legions towards Spain in this episode is not the famous Scipio Africanus who would later defeat Hannibal at the battle of Zama. It was his father
Oversimplified has become more violent lmao 😂 also I tried to find any sources on the father in law/son in law “relationship” and came up empty. Believe me I tried lmao
I came here as soon as I finished watching the original videos.
The Elephant came back to do some Squats in the background of the Gym😂
i just finished watching part 2 right as soon as you uploaded, oh this is a great way to start the weekend
Does anyone want to hear a funny fact about the Punic wars the third one, the peace treaty a symbolic one was signed in 1985 on the 5 of february that is about 2130 years later between Italy and Tunisia(the country where carthage was).
Can't you have some respect for the creator and wait a couple of days?
At least watch the video before commenting on it
Wow that was quick
That is what your mother told me last night
@@kfiraltberger552wtf?? Not called for, man.
This was uploaded so fast it was almost uploaded before the original video. Impressive!
32:35 That Scipio it's actually Scipio Africanus father.
Scipio the Elder I think he's called.
Just like his son would years later, Hamilcar was arguably doing the best in the First Punic War, waging a guerrilla campaign against occupying Romans, but he was caled back upon Carthage's surrender, which made him pretty angry....leading to everything that would come after.
Happy to see you reacting to more videos. Always enjoy your input.
The celts were actually spread across most of europe and britannia at one time. But most of the mainland cells Ended up being subdued by the franks and other geminic tribes. Now the only celtic languages that are still used are those on britannia.
The turks were similar, Spread across most of europe and asia. But now turkey is really the only turkish language that is really spoken prominently
Just food for thought but maybe when people you constantly watch upload a video maybe give the video a week so they can gain all the views they deserve before others jump over here before visiting his channel.
If you look up World War 2 Oversimplified usually your video and Mr.Terry pop up before the actual video. Don't stop reacting to him but maybe give his video time to feed before you get the leftovers
yeah, i was thinking that, should wait a week at least
os is an exception, do you people even read what he says
@@bouncyvenus you have given me no context to go off of, read what he says? Who are we talking about here?
@@123anaya14 it should be very obvious who im talking about mate its not hard
@@bouncyvenus bro the phrase read what he says needs context. Are we talking about VTH or OS? Cause regardless of who your talking about...read WHAT? OS video descriptions? Or VTH link? Wtf am I reading?
As a fan of you and your ''content'', at least let the video be out for a day... it didnt even take you 2 hours
I thought you wanted to wait a few days to react to a new video?
When it's a channel as big as Oversimplified and when Oversimplified gets the ad revenue anyways it's different
dawg its been 1 hour and you already have an video reacting to it
Love your channel so much! Looking forward to including more of your stuff as our homeschool unit moves out of the Middle Ages and into the 17th-19th centuries where you've visited a lot of relevant historic sites. :)
I don't really regard Scipio Africanus as one of the greatest generals of ancient times along with Hannibal as you said in the beggining. He had plenty of time to learn his strategies to eventually put him down. Is more of a comparison like The Red Baron vs the man who killed the Red Baron. They are not on the same level because eventually every great general/leader will come to an end by an unpopular one in most of the situations. History repeats itself.
Scipio was a good general. A very smart guy. But no. He was no hannibal. Hannibal was one of the greastest to ever do it. I see him as a greater commander than Alexander.
@@AB-bh6rbBut he is no Winfield Scott.
@@emberfist8347 True, no one in the history of the Universe can rival the mystery of Winfield Scott.
I'd say *because* Scipio learned so much from Hannibal, he deserved to be called as one of the greatest generals.
Because great generals always learn from their enemies. Only ignorant generals rely on their own dogmatic education, its literally what caused all the losses of Rome in this war until Scipio turned the tides.
Also, Hannibal himself also didn't just pop out of nowhere and suddenly was this tactical genius. He spent most of his childhood and teenage years alongside his capable father and learning the art of war first handed.
I think you pull a really double-standard here if you wanna downplay Scipio because "he had time", while completely ignoring that Hannibal had this same advantage for himself.
@@LegioXXI Yes it would be like ignoring the men who help stop Napolean. Sure Oversimplified summarized it "When his army shows up, we run away.", but it is nonetheless an effective strategy.
My favorite era of history done by one of my favorite content creator and covered by my favorite reactor. What a great video to pop up in my feed.
I think he’ll schedule part 3 to be uploaded a few seconds before it’s been a year as he said it wouldn’t be a year this time, that would be funny
I've been making a card game and your commentaries have really helped me learn so much so fast to make the game at a rapid speed. So thank you Chris
What is it about?
VTH normally: I like to wait some time after the upload to not take views from the creator
* Oversimplified posts a new video *
Alright guys, the king has returned, no time to wait
I think oversimplified claims all thr money for the video so he doesnt care
@ronaldom2239 I was just joking but yeah, if that's the case it does make sense.
So I had to look this up first because I didn't want to put out false information. But yeah that is definitely the wrong Scipio you're thinking about lol. The Roman Consol Scipio is Africanus father. Weird how the sons of two different people who are at war with each other would become rivals after each side was losing lol.
Don't know if you heard already but Mr. Terry got mentioned in part 2. Be on the lookout for some text in the background
Yep! He texted me about it this afternoon. Awesome.
They hired mercenaries to fight the ones they couldn't afford to pay? Uh, then where did they get the money for the second group of mercenaries? Just pay the first with that money???
how does bro finish this video 1 hour after the oversimplified video is released
But the entire video is 45 minutes, and if it was released 1 hour after the ov video he has 15 min to edit
Quite impressive
It does take effort to add insight and commentary, since you're so hurt by him reacting, maybe you should just not watch the video?@@Cvit8
I kinda think you did a reaction to this a bit too early, it's only been out for a few hours, it's not really considered good form to do one this early, it can eat into views for the original creator.
Your reactions are always part of the oversimplified narrative experience!
12:20 When Hannibal's brother was made governor of Spain he started to mint coins in Spain with his image in the style of a Hellenistic king, wearing a diadem. Normally Carthaginian coinage only featured gods and symbols.
Kinda puts into perspective why Carthage was so reluctant to support the Barcid war effort.
Yeah when you are setting up your fiefdom you aren’t going to make many friends in power.
I always like the way you laugh at Oversimplified's jokes so please don't cut them out. It adds so much more to the reaction.
bro it just came out, i know youre not a big yter, but since he's been on a long ass brake this could cannibalize his seo/metadata on youtube give it like a week, maybe do some patreon day one rest next day, just be careful with posting same day reactions, some youtubers aint chill abt it, and i dont want you getting more strikes or auto copyright strikes
Can anyone explain the "Hasbrubal, his son in law and possible gay lover... no further questions line?" A quick Google search doesn't bring up anything on this.
Went straight in here after watching first 2 parts from oversimp can't wait for part 3
Man this vidéos came faster than me in the bed
3:55 We need to go back to those days haha WHO'S WITH ME. On another note, it's mindblowing to me how these VPN's and their fraudulent ads are allowed. A VPN doesn't do ANY of those things, not really.
A lesser known nickname of Scipio Africanus was Skippy. They named a brand of peanut butter after him.
'You just made that up!' -- Tom Segura
Well I insta-purchased 2 of those figures...Its the opposite of uncool.
A bit of critisism on my part. The man has barely uploaded and you're already reacting to it. At least give the uploader some time get some amount of views on the video. But anyway, that's just my way of thinking.
Well it is Oversimplified. It's pretty much impossible to steal views from them
VTH said before that, with Oversimplified at least, all of the money he makes goes immediately to their channel.
It's really not, but "steal" is an nteresting choice of word indeed. But I digress.
44:22 does anybody know what chilling/creeping music that sounds like ur about to fight a final boss is called? or any similar alternatives? need it for a project im working on thanks!
Bruh...you could at least wait a day.....christ
I don't think so. His own followers would be immediately pushing for a reaction the minute it was released.
@@Nolroa that's just sad
@@dr.sergeykutzofykock9720 why are you crying
Werent you supposed to wait for a while until you do a reaction?
hes said oversimplified is an exception
"Celts" could be thought of it the same way as "Native Americans". When people say "Native Americans", do they mean the hunter-gathered Plains Indians, Arctic-inhabiting Inuit peoples, agricultural village/town-based tribes east of the Appalachians, those who built great cities like Cahokia...?
Kinda scummy to post a reaction immediately after it was posted
god read his replies to some comments simmilar to yours at least
This is just perfect. First, watching original video, and then enjoy it once again with your entertaining comments ❤
People who have been watching him since 2019
👇
Fun fact about silver is that the value of bronze, silver, and gold are a bit wakey over time. For example during the time of King Solomon of Isreal silver wasn' very valuable and are as common as pebbles with bronze being the most valuable. In the time of the Punic wars until one or two centuries ago silver was the most valuable tham gold. Today now adays gold is the most valuable.
34 year old me also laughed hysterically at SagunDEEZ Nut 😂😂😂
Personally i think crossing the alps in the winter at all was actually a really stupid movie. I think it got played up by Roman historians because they really wanted Hannibal to be as impressive as possible to posterity because that makes the repeated defeats he inflicted on the Romans less embarrassing. Nobody wants to say "yeah this dumbass lost half his men on a suicide march through the alps and he still whupped our asses like red headed step children".
I feel this video should’ve waited a few days at least.
Still love this channel.
All of VTH's ad revenue goes to Oversimplified. That's why he doesn't wait in this particular case.
@@vodyanoy2Rightfully so when he just sits watching
@@AttyDouro22 Reaction videos are a guilty pleasure of mine. I know how unethical they are, but I still enjoy watching them.
@@vodyanoy2 I’m aware. But as revenue isn’t the only important metric of a TH-cam channel. By waiting a few days to a week, you give a channel’s subscribers the chance to boost the videos view count before using the video to boost your own view count.
@@AttyDouro22 he does so much more than that, he always adds extra information to that provided by the original video, plus throws in his own thoughts and opinions sever times within each video. You definitely get more with VTH’s reaction.
Bro wasted NO time 😶😶
it released hours ago and he's already reacted to it
Just when I thought I was done thinking about the Roman Empire, OverSimplified pulls me back in.
Dude you are not the only one who is not knowledged about the pubic war i play fgo non of the people in this period are a seevant i have been saying hanibal anniversary servant 6years ago we hit year 8 this year
Napoleon encountered a similar issue when crossing the alps. The italian side of the passes is generally steeper than the french side making the descent treacherous, especially for heavy equipment and baggage.
Awesome video Chris. Although I’d like to point out something because it’s something many people confuse! The Scipio we see in this video is NOT the famous Scipio Africanus we all know. That’s actually this video’s Scipio’s eldest son who we will see in Part 2.
I just discovered this channel and love it haha. For a future reaction, StarvHarv did a badly translated history of modern history which I found more fun and interesting just because it was a bit more stuff I've actually seen in my lifetime lol
Do we have any Frozen body from the Second Punic war at the Alps?
The second video explains the battle of cannae so well. I never really understood the significance of it until I watched it.
24:09 I definitely agree with this so I gotta ask, who noticed the elephant doing squats in the background 'cause I didn't the first time lol
Lovin the Lion King reference between Hannibal and his father xD
I know I sound like a hater, but I cant believe this guy has the balls to have a Patreon when all he does is leech around other historian videos.
I know hes not the only one, and I know "REACTING" its a common practice in all sort of videos (sports, videogames, etc). But goddam boy, dont be asking for no money if you aint doing sheeeeeeeet!
I mean, all ad revenue from these videos go to the original creators he's reacting to, and the patreon money he gets, he organises trips and tours with subscribers for example WW1 travel and tour in France, and he records them and uploads them. Hence the channel name "vlogging through history".
Now consider reacting oversimplified fan made video : Vietnam war
i was literally just watching part 2 thinking "man i cant wait for vlogging through history to watch this, but will probably be a week or two" but nope mere hours later we got it
Let's gooo just finished watching both parts now I'm excited for some VTH commentary!
I like how he cut the video when he laughed, I laughed hard as hell too
