Australians: This oversimplified guy isn't even taking us seriously Oversimplified: Emu War Australians: This oversimplified guy isn't even taking us seriously But we're happy to get Canada too ... thanks for that flag in our capital city. Speaking of flags, yours is better than ours please jointly take us over with New Zealand I think an episode definitely in line with these videos would be the 1932 constitutional crisis, or more seriously, the British colonisation contrasts of frontier wars in Tasmania and treaties in New Zealand (and similarities between North America, also in terms of trees, because that is an important link...).
I like how Oversimplified spent 29 minutes on the whole World War 2, the biggest conflict humanity has ever had, and 38 minutes over some pigs eating potatoes in Canada
I know right! I started this video thinking it would be like 15 minutes, but no! The manifest destiny ending was definitely one of the most surprising things I've seen in an Oversimplified video thus far.
@@TalkingPork well it was never technically british they just said "you go to those islands get sheep make sheep farm" but you could say in that time it was british
It is extraordinary how far Overspimplified has come. Their content is great, the animation is great, and the jokes are great. Truly, this is the best channel ever.

Oversimplified always alternates between big wars and small wars/videos about individual people (like Hitler and Henry VIII), and since the last video was on the Napoleonic wars, this was not gonna be about something huge like Vietnam.
I honestly don’t think it would be a half bad idea to annex Canada they are fairly close to us culturally plus we can finally have a road from the lower 48 to Alaska.
Dw America can’t invade Canada, if they try to it will be like when the Germans tried to invade Russia. The winter will have our backs and so will our allies. Also since Russia and China hate America maybe they will help us.
@@ajmcdermottvids3085 America could take Canada very easy but it would have a really hard time justifying the war, drawing attention of other nations who are hostile to the US. (I'm American) You are right about other nations getting involved. Heck, they might even settle their troops on Canada border as a joint military directly on top of the US. This is interesting lmao. I'm giving it too much thought 🤣
Scott: "Harney, don't you DARE put Pickett back on the island." Harney: "Pickett, I'm putting you back on the island." Oversimplified: "This enraged Scott, who punished Harney severely."
My grandparents lived on San Juan Island, so every summer we'd visit on vacation. My grandma was obsessed with The Pig War, so much so that she built a building and created a Pig War Museum. She had old mannequins and wax figures dressed up as the primary people. When we'd visit she have us dress up as some of the characters. We have a picture of my younger sister dressed up as the pig and my dad as Lyman. I always thought she was crazy. At the time I only knew the pig shooting parts of story. She never went into the insane amount of politics that surrounded the incident. Thanks for helping me revisit my childhood.
You thought she was crazy yet only knew the pig shooting part of the story? Time we learned the whole truth. Did Lyman chase down the pig and shoot it despite offering him 3 wishes or was the pig a 20th century gangster that died on a dare? :D Both answers are acceptable, either answer is too but it has to be at least one of the two.
"Who spoke to god exactly?" "I heard it was Sharon's cat" besides the videos being so awesome little details like this make rewatching a ton worth while
That ending has got to be, hands down, one of the best endings on TH-cam. I’m Australian-Serbian, have absolutely no real connection to either Canada or America, but wow, just wow.
After all these years, I still find Oversimplified the most consistently quality channel on the whole TH-cam. Please, never stop, even if it takes half year to make a new video!
My 5 favorite moments from this channel: 5. The pig putting Lyman’s gun to his head 4. When everyone in Bologna was dancing around the bucket 3. The pig offering three wishes in Morgan Freeman’s voice 2. General Harney getting beaten mercilessly while screaming like he was in a horror movie 1. That unhinged rant about Canada
What I love about this dude is how he has no schedule. You don’t know what day, week, or month he is posting. Yet, every time he does post, your day is automatically great.
I positively flinched during this rewatch when he mentioned that Harney might have wanted to become President, because he'd have a _very_ strong chance at being elected nowadays. He's exactly the type of character that American voters admire, a windbag expansionist who'd threaten the sovereignty of our Canadian brothers.
“The Americans kept coming and they didn’t stop coming, they hoped in their wagons and hit the ground running” I need a whole album of this type of rhymes😤
Every Oversimplified video is like a family reunion, everyone eager to come together to enjoy a story told by that one very cool uncle or grandpa. Great videos, without fail.
@@junkoenoshima2756 what does this have to do with the comment? Too my knowledge most country's have good relations with the 🇺🇸 as USA is basically the world's military. The USA is friendly with many countries
I really appreciate that oversimplified teaches us about the most influential wars in history; the Falkland wars, the pig war, the football war, and the war of the bucket
There has been some dispute around that remaining 17.5%, there's actually a really interesting article about whether or not it even exists. But all things being equal, yeah 82.5%
I find it really cool that in this video, Winfield Scott comes off as more of a competent general than he did in the Civil War videos, where he just seemed overly cautious. Shows that there's more to a military man's legacy than one conflict.
It is funny cause you could probably consider Winfield Scott one of America's greatest generals historically. His actions during the Mexican-American war were pretty impressive.
Winfield Scott was a fantastic general and actually one of the most decorated in United States history, however by the time of the Civil War he was simply to old to contribute. Although he was actually the first to suggest the strategy the Union used to eventually defeat the South. Had he been young and capable I don’t believe the conflict would have gone nearly as long.
Historical content aside, just as pure writing/editing/acting/animating... this is by FAR the most incredible video on this channel, and that's saying something.
Just this morning I wondered: "Hmm, Oversimplified hasn't posted in a while. I wonder when his next video will come out?" and what was I greeted with this evening? A masterpiece.
Honestly this is one of the most comical videos he's made for this channel. But it's still educational. You get the basic ideas despite it being simple and exaggerated for comedy. I've never heard of any of this haha. Also some people have pointed out he's seemed to have improved his speaking skills over time and I gotta agree. Great job Oversimplified!
At this point, that could improve Canada. It wouldn't be surprising if America invaded, the Canadian military just joined up with them, like French military when Napoleon came back.
i can see why it took him longer than usual to make this one, the napoleonic wars and prohibition probably left him needing a break, and also, its just made better in general, ill always support your amazing content oversimplified!
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Well, half of him is. So is Jim Carrey, Pam Anderson, Michael J Fox, Alex Trebek. I don't get dual citizenship. I think you should pick one country as your citizenship. In fact, Gretsky complained a few yrs back about being subjected to voting restrictions so I don't know why he didn't do his homework before he signed onto dual citizenship. He must be able to afford people to enlighten him.
As someone who's never heard of this before this was a pretty enthralling and gripping story, I was actually nervous of a war about to break out. Also makes you think about how many old historic wars probably had petty trigger points.
One thing they didn't mention is that that area is warm year-around, so for Canadians it's like a tropical paradise. It may explain the demand for the islands more.
Gavarillo Princip had to make the decision between starting the violence that would mark the 20th century including worst war and second worst war in human history and eating a sandwich, and he chose violence.

Since America is a country with people of all the world's nationalities, it techincally can spread to the whole world under the claim of uniting its people. The true United Nations in a singular country has been USA all along!
I like how he finishes talking about a conflict between two countries that almost escalated into war for basically no reason, and then immediately suggests we start a war with Canada for basically no reason.
The slow transition from rationality to anger and overall insanity at the end is beautiful. I've watched it 40 times and I have wept every one of them. God bless America for we must manifest our destiny. o7
I’m not sure- the manifestation of such a destiny that led to the deaths of native Americans and many others around the globe seems like a costly, and unjust one to me
@@era_change I understand that but I was more so referring to the concept of manifest destiny as a whole. As an American, I can declare that our history is an undeserved sequence of expansion that was never justified from the start of it all
33:29 Had me rolling, especially because I can actually see Winfield Scott doing this. Despite being a seasoned veteran, he was normally very kind and gentle in manner... unless you managed to piss him off.
He was famously arrogant and a talk-talk-talk know it all, especially at dinner. And he got into lots of letter-based pissing matches over (to modern sensibilities) ridiculous "affairs of honor". But yeah, he wasn't a violent dude or anything. And he did defuse the nullification crisis in Charleston with tact.

29:18 Buchanan screaming in fear was just ( _chef's kiss_ )
It's so crazy how these videos are getting better, funnier and weirder every time. Totally worth waiting for!
Yes
True
Every time a video comes out i have to watch it immediately
It’s almost like an event for me now lmao
I personally prefer less jokes and more history, but still plenty edutaining.
I find it really cool that in this video, Winfield Scott comes off as more of a competent general than he did in the Civil War videos, where he just seemed overly cautious. Shows that there's more to a military man's legacy than one conflict.
That and he was older in the Civil War videos.
It is funny cause you could probably consider Winfield Scott one of America's greatest generals historically. His actions during the Mexican-American war were pretty impressive.
@@JediLordRevan just dealing with harney is impressive
Winfield Scott was a fantastic general and actually one of the most decorated in United States history, however by the time of the Civil War he was simply to old to contribute. Although he was actually the first to suggest the strategy the Union used to eventually defeat the South. Had he been young and capable I don’t believe the conflict would have gone nearly as long.
He was just not in top shape by the Civil War. Old man in an young man's game.
37:15 - Aged like a fine *wine* ! OverSimplified. You have no idea.
Historical content aside, just as pure writing/editing/acting/animating... this is by FAR the most incredible video on this channel, and that's saying something.
They get better each time. He’s constantly improving
And this is literally over the dispute of an island. Imagine him revisiting some of his old pieces of content???
@@tehpunisher4568 I feel like this style works better for small conflicts than something like ww2

The animation is upgraded too. Nice.
Hes been using skill share

37:07 The joke at the end about invading Canada hits different in 2025
This is probably the most chaotic video Oversimplified has ever created. Keep up the good work!
Funny since the only death was a pig
That ending is easily the best moment in cinematic history. Avengers Endgame’s got nothing on Banff
Just this morning I wondered: "Hmm, Oversimplified hasn't posted in a while. I wonder when his next video will come out?" and what was I greeted with this evening? A masterpiece.
I had the same thought this time last night! AND BAM!!
Same 😆
Same here guys😂😂
Its magic
Agreed
The last part of this video aged like a fine wine
OverSimplified is like a solar eclipse it takes a long time to show but when it does its beautiful.
Such a great comment. 👍
Couldn't state it more better
don't look directly at it!
its weird you say that because the last videos were released around the time of the last total eclipse

Best. Ending. Ever.
Hi alex
Do you think he hates Canadians
"Being an American, he emerged from his tent with four pistols and a giant knife."
The most American thing I've ever heard.
Would be more if he emerged with 20 strapped to him, a Bowie knife, a M16A1, and a M1928A1 w sawed of stock
More of: a mini gun, 50 pistols (one for each state) 12 grenadines, apple pie, and an American flag tied to him, while riding a Sherman tank.

Honestly this is one of the most comical videos he's made for this channel. But it's still educational. You get the basic ideas despite it being simple and exaggerated for comedy. I've never heard of any of this haha. Also some people have pointed out he's seemed to have improved his speaking skills over time and I gotta agree. Great job Oversimplified!
Ima Canadian goose
Your telling me. What could more dangerously silly than nearly starting a war with Britain over a pig?
Biden: Forgets to invade Canada
Trump: Fine I'll do it myself
That does sound like something Biden would do.
At this point, that could improve Canada.
It wouldn't be surprising if America invaded, the Canadian military just joined up with them, like French military when Napoleon came back.

37:08 well, you became like a Simpsons, you can predict the future!
i can see why it took him longer than usual to make this one, the napoleonic wars and prohibition probably left him needing a break, and also, its just made better in general, ill always support your amazing content oversimplified!

Well, half of him is. So is Jim Carrey, Pam Anderson, Michael J Fox, Alex Trebek. I don't get dual citizenship. I think you should pick one country as your citizenship. In fact, Gretsky complained a few yrs back about being subjected to voting restrictions so I don't know why he didn't do his homework before he signed onto dual citizenship. He must be able to afford people to enlighten him.
33:33 it is safe to say that Harney's actions angered General Wifield Scott greatly, who punished him severely
General Harney nearly caused a war, and had disobeyed orders from Winfield Scott. This enraged General Winfield Scott, who punished him severely.

As someone who's never heard of this before this was a pretty enthralling and gripping story, I was actually nervous of a war about to break out. Also makes you think about how many old historic wars probably had petty trigger points.
See: The War of the Bucket - OverSimplified
@@garethhanby It wasn't actually started over a bucket, but that's still funny to think about.
One thing they didn't mention is that that area is warm year-around, so for Canadians it's like a tropical paradise. It may explain the demand for the islands more.
Gavarillo Princip had to make the decision between starting the violence that would mark the 20th century including worst war and second worst war in human history and eating a sandwich, and he chose violence.
@@littleferrhis ww1 was actually the second worst European war. Chinese wars are way more bloodier

@@obscurereference6298 a moose? A MOOSE?! OUR EAGLE WILL ALWAYS BE BETTER
I like how he finishes talking about a conflict between two countries that almost escalated into war for basically no reason, and then immediately suggests we start a war with Canada for basically no reason.
For vengeance like he said
For the oil, meme of it, and the fact our Militias out number and out arm Canada armed forces. And it's the only way to unify America
I mean, it wouldn't be for no reason. He made a bunch of good points.
As a Canadian I think it was a perfectly reasonable argument
God bless America!
I love how oversimplified manages to turn history that may be considered boring to something fun and entertaining
History IS INTERESTING this just makes it funy i like that
37:17 is mostly the terrifying part because no one expected it
History is only boring if your educator is boring.
My teacher makes history fun aswell
Sooooo OverSimplified about Canada becoming America joke.
The slow transition from rationality to anger and overall insanity at the end is beautiful. I've watched it 40 times and I have wept every one of them. God bless America for we must manifest our destiny. o7
I’m not sure- the manifestation of such a destiny that led to the deaths of native Americans and many others around the globe seems like a costly, and unjust one to me
Dolbaeb
@@FunkInTheTrunk They were joking around about the ending.
For our founding farthers, for destiney, for syrup!
@@era_change I understand that but I was more so referring to the concept of manifest destiny as a whole. As an American, I can declare that our history is an undeserved sequence of expansion that was never justified from the start of it all
33:29 Had me rolling, especially because I can actually see Winfield Scott doing this. Despite being a seasoned veteran, he was normally very kind and gentle in manner... unless you managed to piss him off.
Definitely the funniest part of the video, cause it seems true for the time lol
How well did you know him?
I actually felt bad for Pickett being thrown across the room by the door.
Also, with all the crap Harney has caused he definitely had it coming.
When a Kind General gets pissed off by a dumbass
He was famously arrogant and a talk-talk-talk know it all, especially at dinner. And he got into lots of letter-based pissing matches over (to modern sensibilities) ridiculous "affairs of honor". But yeah, he wasn't a violent dude or anything. And he did defuse the nullification crisis in Charleston with tact.
The "just as god intended" scene is probably the best recap of all American history.
goes well with "Aliens must have done it"
3:54 "I hear voices all the time!"
Ngl manifest destiny sounds like Amercian lebensraum.
Especially dumping mcdonalds on top of an Indian reservation
@@mcboat3467 on a level it was but just under a different pretense surprisingly enough I learned that Hitler used manifest destiny as a comparison to help mold his concept of lebensraum
