Love to see that bro 🙌
Tbh him saying that while skipping the add is bit wierd...
I'ma skip this ⏩ 😂😆 lol
Ikr. But he’s probably praising him for getting sponsorships, doesn’t mean he’s going to use/watch them
Just think boys. Without these events, we wouldn’t have the greatest national anthem on the planet.
its not even good its a fucking national anthem
@@trevor8726 if that isn’t the best melody you’ve ever heard, idk what to tell you
@UpsideDown yeahhhhh but we don’t have to talk about that
Nah we have the best one
You mean "Freebird" by Lynyrd Skynyrd?
"It's all faberge eggs"
*Always has been*
LUKA!! They brought back General Hickenlooper, your favorite guy from the US Civil War video
Colorado Sen John Hickenlooper must be proud of his Great grandfather... Who else could have fought for the Union in the American Civil War AND for Russia in WW1?
As a Brit, you should react to Henry VIII by Oversimplified
Oh yeah....that would be good
There was a music group called ‘Boney M’ that wrote a song about Rasputin. It’s actually really good.
“Rah Rah Ra-sputin ...” 🎶
Another related tune, "The Czar" by Mastodon. If you like hard rock and prog, it jams.
Just gonna leave the lyrics here for that song (I love that song actually):
There lived a certain man in Russia long ago
.
He was big and strong, in his eyes a flaming glow
.
Most people looked at him with terror and with fear
.
But to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear
.
He could preach the Bible like a preacher
, full of ecstasy and fire.
But he also was the kind of teacher
, women would desire.
Ra-Ra-Rasputin
!
Lover of the Russian queen
!
There was a cat that really was gone
.
Ra-Ra-Rasputin
!
Russia's greatest love machine
!
It was a shame how he carried on
.
He ruled the Russian land and never mind the Czar
.
But the kazachok, he danced really wunderbar
.
In all affairs of state, he was the man to please
.
But he was real great when he had a girl to squeeze
.
For the queen he was no wheeler-dealer
though she'd heard the things he'd done.
She believed he was a holy healer
, who would heal her son.
Ra-Ra-Rasputin
!
Lover of the Russian queen
!
There was a cat that really was gone
.
Ra-Ra-Rasputin
!
Russia's greatest love machine
!
It was a shame how he carried on
.
"But when his drinking, and lusting
, and his hunger for power became known to more and more people."
"The demands to do something
about this outrageous man became louder and louder."
"This man's just got to go", declared his enemies
.
But the ladies begged, "don't you try to do it, please"
.
No doubt this Rasputin had lots of hidden charms
.
Though he was a brute, they just fell into his arms
.
Then one night some men of higher standing
set a trap, they're not to blame.
"Come to visit us", they kept demanding
, and he really came.
Ra-Ra-Rasputin
!
Lover of the Russian queen
!
They put some poison into his wine
.
Ra-Ra-Rasputin
!
Russia's greatest love machine
!
He drank it all and said, "I feel fine"
.
Ra-Ra-Rasputin
!
Lover of the Russian queen
!
They didn't quit, they wanted his head
.
Ra-Ra-Rasputin
!
Russia's greatest love machine
!
And so they shot him 'til he was dead
.
"Oh, those Russians!"
His title of Commander of Cheese was passed down to me
I like how you copied Stalin’s idea of mummifying Lenin and putting him on display for your own father 😂
@@coyotelong4349 Wait he did that?
@@celestialorb1680
Yup yup, Kim Jong-il is on display in Pyeongyang’s Kumsusan Palace of the Sun... Actually I think Kim Il-sung is as well
Even though Nicholas II's wife was German, she was one of Queen Victoria's granddaughters and first cousin of George V of England. Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany.was also a grandson of Victoria and first cousin to George V and Empress Consort (Nicholas' wife) Alexandra Feodorovna. To make things even more fun for those interested in the genealogy of Europe's nobles, Kaiser Wilhelm II and Nicholas II were simultaneously third cousins and second cousins once removed. They were said to have looked so much alike that they were often confused with one another when appearing together. Currently, of those monarchies still remaining in Europe, Belgium, Denmark, Luxembourg, Norway, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom's thrones are occupied by descendants of Queen Victoria and King Christian IX of Denmark. The only monarch in Europe not of this line is the current king of the Netherlands.
So, how do you figure out first, second and third cousins and so on and how do you figure out once, twice and so on removed? It's actually pretty simple but, keeping track of it can be a pain. You begin with the common relative as a base and go from there. First cousins share grandparents, second cousins share great-grandparents and third cousins share great-great-grandparents. That pattern carries on down a family tree but most genealogists will stop keeping track at around fifth cousin unless, you're doing an extended examination of a family tree.
Once, twice, three times removed and so on refers to the number of generations a person is removed from the original first, second, third cousin relationship. It is likely that you have a first cousin. If your first cousin had a child, that child would be related to you as your first cousin, once removed. That is because that child is one generation removed from the original first cousin relationship. In the same way, if that child grew up and had their own child, that new child would be your first cousin, twice removed. The same principle applies to second, third and so on cousins. So, if you have any second cousins, you share great-grandparents. Your second cousin's children would be your second cousins, once removed. Once you get the hang of it, it isn't hard to figure out. It's just kind of a pain putting it into a chart of a family tree.
I used to live across the street from the place Lenin was exiled in Finland...
I would be Extremely interested in seeing you react to the “Irish potato Famine” by “Extra Credits” they are a channel similar to Oversimplified in the fact that they do history in a comic/cartoon style. I would like to see your perspective as a British person to what happened in that time of history. And how much you were taught about the famine in school.
Animal Farm was an allegory of this very historic event.
Snowball = Lenin
Farmer Jones = Tsar Alexander III
Napoleon = Stalin
Windmills = Industrialization
Again, Snowball is Trotsky.
@@kennandunn7533 Ah, now I’m seeing that. Then I’m guessing that Napoleon is a composite of Lenin and Stalin?
@@gamingdemigodxiii5630 Napoleon is pure Stalin, Old Major is a composite of Lenin and Marx.
@@kennandunn7533 Well I do see the philosophy of both in Old Major.
Orwell said it was a Fairy Tale. Just the way things are. It was his interrupation of the events of Soviet history. Do you remember The Battle of the Windmill. That's Stalingrad.
Boy, I knew something about the Russian Revolution before I watched this video, but I didn't know the whole thing was so complicated. I'm learning something.
"Lenin thought the elections were unfair, and refused to give up control of the country."
Boy, how history repeats itself sometimes.
well... human ALWAYS repeated history over and over again.
as if we never learned from it. Often times, our ego took over our logic.
we need a Rasputin reaction after this! his story is crazy
*This Oversimplified video came out 2 weeks before I started studying Russian Revolution in my sixth form (high school).* Didn't know a thing about this history before the video. *LIFE SAVER*
The 20th century really hammers home the whole 'to be Russian is to suffer' thing.
I have spent years trying to figure out what it is about Russia that it is always a mess, even though it started kind of the same as the rest of Europe: probably Vikings, then monarchs related to all the other European monarchs. But, like, their monarchs tended to be way worse, always, even when they grew up in other European countries!
I remember learning about this stuff in high school. I have been absolutely fascinated ever since. I teach now and I am always SO excited to talk about this with students. Heck I will talk about it to anyone who will listen. People really need to know about this stuff because it is GREATLY impacting what is happening today especially here in the U.S
Lenin: "Those votes don't count"
Sounds familiar 😅
“Get your money bro”
When the game is free lol
Jokes aside, I love these reaction vids
Dropping both parts on the same day is much appreciated my man
Really love the oversimplified reactions, hope you react to more of their content when they upload
Fun fact: Tsar Nicholas II was King George V (king of Britain at the time)’s Cousin. Their mother’s had both been Queen Victoria’s daughters
First came to the channel for the sports but I’m loving the history stuff, keep it up
Thank u luka I was just about to start my homework but now I can keep procrastinating 🥳
Old good days
You may by now realize most Brits are not English, especially the Royal family. There was no mention in here how Nicholas reached out to his British royal relative asking for help and to be able to go there when it was no longer safe for his family to remain in Russia and he was ignored.
If you want to see a good show about this. Watch The Last Czar on Netflix
soviet is translated to english as council - group of people making decisions together
Luka: "Get your cash"
Everyone: "You weren't supposed to do that"
Tsar Nick was cousin to English King George...they look like twins. Google it. The web of royal marriages across the continent was so interconnected that King George V of England was first cousins to both Nicholas and his wife, Alexandra. Through Queen Victoria.
Love your vids, Luka! Plz react to Crash Course’s Reagan Revolution.
It’s true. Rasputin was poisoned, shot, beat, then thrown into a river. The scariest part is the coroner said the cause of death was hypothermia from the river😨😨😨
yes perfect timing:)
Almost no one regretted the death of the Tsar and his family as a whole, and yes. If the Entente (Great Britain, France, and later the United States and Japan) did not support the White Guards, then there would be no Civil War, at most a couple of skirmishes with the Anti-Communists. And yes, everyone forgets about the "White Terror" in Russia, it was worse than the "Red Terror", for example, the Death Camp in Azov, or the shooting of surrendered Communists. And yes, the Leader of the White Guards Alexander Kolchak - deservedly received the title of War Criminal. Nowadays they love to lie about the Communists, for example, about Lenin or Stalin.
Hey man, great video. You should react to three kingdoms by oversimplified
Your vids are cool. Just wish you make your reaction screen bigger. A lot of people click on your vids because you look, um, appealing in the thumbnails and are disappointed by not being able to see u that well in the vids. But cool reactions overall.
I know this is now an old video, and it isn't that important, but just to let you know, Lenin's Last words were "Good Dog". He said this to a dog that brought him a dead bird. Kinda interesting and sad.
You should react to the Boston molasses flood there are a ton of good videos on it but I’d recommend the one called disasters of the century molasses flood it’s kind of a mini documentary
thanks again from your old yankee friend happy in carolina.
I like how Lenin basically became a german agent
My great-grandfather was actually part of the white Russian army. After the tsar and his family were killed, he fled the country before they could close the borders, and immigrated to the US
got a video suggestion about a famous Finnish soldier who fought against the Soviet Union in Finnish Continuation War(1941-1944),
he didn't get his fame the usual way other famous soldiers get it tho.
"Soldier OD's on Meth, Has Crazy Adventure | Tales From the Bottle" from the channel "Qxir"
Basically every body in power loved doing the exact opposite of whatever people wanted.
but you can't please everyone, I'd guess 90% of countries have had at least civil war.
Please react to oversimplified one off videos. Like the football war
The Social Revolutionaries were another socialist party, and a lot of the anarchist rebels were anarcho-communists. This led to a lot of cases where Socialists and Communists were fighting Bolsheviks, so there's a lot more depth to the Civil War. Ultimately the Bolshevik oppression on non-Bolshevik socialists both in Russia and the greater world, would lead to a complete change in Socialism's image. What had once been an ideology about freedom, liberty, and expanding democracy, became about dictatorship, and it's only recently that Socialists are starting to reclaim themselves from this.
Well name me a single anarcho-socialist or dem-soc revolution that succeeded.
Any revolution is by definition an oppressive authoritarian action. To think you can take the power from the ruling class with democracy is naive.
Theirs got too far like in every other revolution ever, so the only reason socialists were singled out as uniquely horrible, is cold war rethoric.
They were so close twice they could have a democracy, : 8:52 and 15:47
Hey! Please react to Chris Chambliss 1976 - ALCS Gm. 5 Walk-Off Called by Phil Rizzuto,
Petrograd is St. Petersburg, city of three revolutions. Yes, it was the capital where the Romanov Tsars were based. That's where all the revolutions happened. Did you not follow any of the video?
PSG jersey in the thumbnail but not in the video. Im trippin haha
Out of the Czar's family, you probably shouldn't look up what happened to the youngest daughter and the Czar's son Alexei. Out of the family, their deaths were extremely brutal.
I wander what the source was for those events. Like the reds wouldn't say that they did something too bad, and the whites would exadurate.
What is not mentioned is that Ferdinand was nicolas’s cousin
Also. Nicholas and his entire family were murdered. That is a recorded fact.
Practically all of Europe's royals were close cousins by 1914, because of Victoria and Albert having so many children and grandchildren to marry off, which seemed to fulfil the dream shared by them that if all of Europe's rulers were connected by blood there wouldn't be any more big wars to devastate the continent.
Theory didn't turn out so well in practice.
you should react to rasputins death by simple history
lets not forget there was a pandemic at that time
React to the finno- ugric languages- from the north to the south
Can you please react to "Tales From TheVarus" & "TheVarus Strakes Buck" from Internet Historian's channel, very funny videos !
Wow I’m so early
React to king Henry VIII next plz
Can you react to MLS review show playoffs.
You should react to some anime
Do a video of America’s military power
Yeah, the 1900s in Russia was... not a great time.
The U.S. is too free, check out M.T.V.. pranked :)
Capitalism FTW
React to internet historian
10 people can’t be first
No soviet union without germany
And the argument to say that was stupid is stupid... Because Germany didn't lose against the soviet union they lost because of the winter and own mistakes. The soviet union didn't destroy them. They suffered so much more... Sadly.
Can you please react to jonny arnett This is day 30 of this please
16th comment let’s go edit I forgot to put the th in 16th
Man people love to hate Stalin.
1. He didn't bring war to the brink of annihilation, if anything Trotsky would have been far more proactive in this. The US were the ones to develop and use nukes, and they were planing to do it again if Stalin didn't make his own.
2. He fixed all the chaos and most of the problems that all those horrible events created, modernized and Industrialised the country. Then won a world War and rebuilt it again turning it into a superpower.
3. No revolution succeeds by democratic means. Revolution is inherently authoritarian. There was little choice if any for a pure democracy in Stalin's material conditions, but even so, the people had a lot of power then even during Stalin.
4. I doubt you can call reasonable fears, paranoia. Fear of the west? The same west that invaded rsfsr? The same.west that hated.communists for decades? The same west they were just at war with? Yrah paranoia sure came from nowhere.
He had good reasons for the purges for the most part. He couldn't live any chance of another coup and even more chaos is an already eviscerated country.
All kinds of counterrevolutionary groups have infiltrated hight offices and the military, including the Japanese and actual nazis. There weren't a lot of things he could do, he couldn't risk them turning during ww2 and executions worked 100% for the time.
Stalin was one of the best rulers in russian history. The system he build was made on a bloody foundation, but so is every single other one. People need to stop singling him out as some unprecedented monster
Wait so Trump is just modeling Lenin by not conceding an election?! 🤔😂
Yes, Trump is a communist. Didn't you know it?
