On the German Wikipage the pig is mentioned as an offically fallen combatant 😂
The Swedish wiki also lists the potato as a casualty on the side of the US
@@wreslemaniac I thought Irish will do that. 🙄🙄
@Countryballs Animated M Indian and read about it in 9th Standards. After chapter on French revolution and Napoleon Bonaparte.
In Sweden the potatoe is too

I’ve been there, all I can say is that British camp had better conditions historically and currently

The reason the German Empire was chosen was because they were a neutral country and did not favor britian or the us so they did not have any bias
i dont think neutral is the right word. i mean if that were the case it would have been a country like switzerland or even a country completely disconnected from western powers. british royalty derives from germany (and had excellent relations with especially prussia till willhelm II) and wilhelm I even fled to london during the revolution, so its very odd that the land was given to the us.
the following is my speculation (bc i couldnt find any info on it), but either wilhelm wasnt happy how the british royalty treated him or, much more likely, the americans bribed the counsel more than the british...
@@maxmustermann369 neither the US. Germany saw that as a threat since the US was growing it will become to strong. And was economically stable and had a massive industry (that's how I see it)
@@Regimentz. as i said, thats just my speculation. im not to sure about that beeing a threat though. theese islands are not really that significant, as far away from germany as you can get and the year is 1872. the german empire is one year old and at that point arguably the strongest military power on the european continent while the us is not the powerhouse it will transform into later. i think its much more likely that money and/or personal preference made the decision here.
@@maxmustermann369 well. If it was I'd be weird. Since wilhelm is the grandson of Queen Victoria so he's technically picking someone else over his own family. Weird huh
@@Regimentz. Though the US did have a lot of Germans living there...
Ah the Pig War, I talked a bit about it in a Spaghetti Road video!

@Valkyrae Commenter Australian?
As someone from Washington who learned about this in middle school I love watching people who had no idea we almost went to war over a pig learn my states strangest fact. I mean it's not important to pnw history like the hostility that resulted in the division of the Oregon territory into Washington and Oregon but still.
I'd like to inform everyone that fort Vancouver is a historical site in the PNW
Well as someone from britsh colombia I had never hread of this till the video
It’s very important. Because we WON !!! SUCK IT CANADA, YOU HAVE LOST A WAR AND IT WAS AGAINST US!!!!
@@darthmaul216 dude... uncool
@@darthmaul216 That would explain why all of you ignore the war of 1812

I love that because the war wasn't very bloody and not overly complex, he can go wild with the funny part.
Kind of hard to do with wars with huge fatalities.
Yeah a bit tasteless to make a nock nock joke when standing near some folks still mourning the loss of a grandfather or even great grandfather

As someone who has been to the San Juan island: there is an interesting town there called Friday harbor that has the ferry that takes you to it and I recommend checking it out
oh nice
Is San Juan Island nice, like if you were a settler in the 1840's would you consider settling there?
@@thebasileus4793 I don't know what it's like in winter but during the summer there was a very nice breeze giving the place a comfortable temperature and yes, yes I would settle there
I go to orcas island every summer which is the big one shaped like a horseshoe and I have been to the surrounding islands like Lopez, San Juan, and sucia (the closest to canada). Anyway yes Friday harbor is a really cool place and it’s the biggest town in the San Juan islands Eastsound being the second.
The Columbia River divide border might seem fair, but I’d be a Canadian if it happened
Why not be a Canadian?
@nero why not be bri'ish

Whenever you see countries fighting over seemingly insignificant land, it's usually for decent enough reasons that outside observers might not understand such as geopolitical, advantage in case of war, land that helps repel attacks from outside invaders, putting distance between their borders and their main population/economic centers, natural resources, minerals (like gold), the land has historical significance, ethnic groups belonging to each country live on the land, etc.
Both countries wanted San Juan Island (the western one) for strategic/geopolitical reasons. Control of all the islands ensured control of the area between the Strait of Georgia to the north and Strait of Juan de Fuca to the south. This meant the owner of the islands could block others from entering at will. This would be beneficial in case of war or as leverage in any future negotiations between to countries (could threaten to block access). I think the reason why Britain was willing to settle for just having San Juan Island while America wanted all the islands is because Britain already had an advantage due to having the most powerful navy. The US needed all the islands to have any hope of blocking the British in the event of war (like a naval version of the Battle of Thermopylae). The British likely could easily force their way through with just the western island.
what about the Korean axe murder incident? I don't see any real reason but I could be wrong
@@ik6non712 Both those U.S.A and South Korea had most of their military in South Vietnam fighting a Communist insurgency, so the North Koreans thought that they could get away with it.
You have summed it up in a good way!
@idiotfrombritain leee
"It's kinda hard to call it a draw when our Capitol building was burned down."
It's okay, the Americans also burned down the Parliament buildings in Canada.
They burned down the Capitol of Upper Canada, modern day Ontario. The residents of Lower Canada, modern day Quebec, were smart enough to build walls around Quebec city.
Honestly the war of 1812 was more of a minor theatre of the Napoleonic wars than a stand alone war. So its a loss in that sense. But the USA got most of there stated goals and it didn't matter much to the British since they had achieved their real objective in Europe.
Base racing i see...
But the entire history of America would be unrecognisable if not for napoleon and the Spanish because most of the Royal Navy and army were too preoccupied fighting a war much closer to home to be concerned with America. However if they were not at war with two sides simultaneously, then America would have been far too overrun by the might of the British empire...
The Americans got far too lucky to be considered a fair victory 🤣🤣 this is an American admitting this btw
Man, Drew's looking more giga-mega-chadder every video he uploads

@@IcecreamMcGuy No He LiVes In AmEriCa
39:09 looks like drew is saluting 😂
You’re not wrong😂
At the worst part of the video.
Another reason why Winfield Scott was the best man for the job: this wasn't his first time settling tensions along the US-Canada border. He was sent there twice under the Van Buren administration alone, and was highly successful both times.
I actually looked it up and the total cost in today's dollars for $100 in a year that this took place in 1859 was $3,300 that should give you a scale on how outrageous that actually was.
Can we talk about how drew looks like an absolute chad today
Pretty sure he wanted to look like Stalin
No
When is the Drew and Oversimplified Collab coming?
32nd of november
@@Ok-but could of said 31s if november and it would still to impossible
No.. as being around with sheeps in the Netherlands.. the wool is not helpfull, and maybe sheep can swim a bit, but they definitely drown.
Cows totally swim, but might be having trouble getting out of water.
Random fun fact: The “crazy” customs collector was actually named Isaac Neff Ebey. Born on January 22nd, 1818. He was the first permanent settler of Whidbey Island.
17:47
That's not how you plant potatoes.
Have you ever wondered why it's called PLANTING potatoes and not sowing?
Because you don't use seed to grow potatoes.
17:32 "Interesting they call it San Juan Island. Spanish references."
The intermixing of Spanish and English naming for landmarks up and down the coast come from competing Spanish and British expeditions in (1791 and 1792 respectively) in the area. The Spaniards were the first Europeans to discover/chart the San Juan Islands (thus names such as San Juan, Lopez, Guemes, Haro, Rosario, Fidalgo, etc.), while Britain's "Vancouver Expedition" named other maritime areas (Puget, Whidbey, Cook, Burrard, etc.) and mountains (Baker, Rainier, St. Helens).
I love how the reference at 7:21 completely went over his head

Sums up American borders
It looks better that way imo.
If Americans dumped tea into the ocean to protest British taxes then Brits should dump whiskey in a river as a retort. I think that'll make 'em mad
Think we'd be more worried about pissing off the Scots if we did that lol. Let's face it if we ever wanted to piss off the Americans like they did us with that tea incident, about the only thing they hold as much patriotism over as we do our tea is their flag.
That'd piss off Ireland more than America
Dump cola
How my Civil War History teacher described it with the selling of ships. British naval people would dock a ship in the Caribbean and just leave it there, the confederate forces would leave a large sum of money at a certain location. The Brits would then go to that location, "find" the money and take it. While the Confederates would just "happen to come across" an empty British ship, and take it without complaint and leave.
Well the USA had extremely awful generals leading up to Civil War, the best generals were from the south. The US military was kinda awful until post WW1.
Yeah, also I would say the oldest point that would turn the American military into, well, the American military as we know it before WW1 was the civil war itself.
The United States was very fortunate to have the British having their priorities on something else, and Mexico busy dealing with.. itself.
Yeah Robert E. Lee was a big hero from the Mexican war for example.
Troops would likely come from the south where the war was fought, which is the big reason why most generals would be from there.
We had Winfield Scott, who was recognized as a fantastic strategist and officer both domestically and internationally for his service during the Mexican-American War. He'd later on help the Union by coming up with the Anaconda Plan, despite being from Virginia himself.
3:41 he just silently watches the video, taking in all that information and his conclusion is “Burger land”
Even these easy to make videos that some people call lazy are appreciated, nice to see your reaction of the new oversimplified video
Well ya know it's like you're watching it with him
2:40 Drew kinda forgetting that the white house was still under construction and held no political/strategical importance at the time.
Also kind of forgetting that Toronto was burnt to the ground and Britain lost all of its forts in the area+New Orleans
The entirety of Washington DC was also burnt to the ground and the Americans suffered more casualties yet the Americans failed in the motive of starting the war .
1812 was a L for the US, cmon man. It happens
New Orleans didn't matter the peace treaty was signed already.
@@shahnarahman213 They failed to take British America but they accomplished their main political goals
I bet you think Toronto is the capital of Canada
One of my friends from Oregon had to play the Oregon trail game for history class 😂😂😂
38:06
Letting Germany decide is not THAT random...
Other than France or Russia, Germany never had any colonies in North America, which made them neutral on this subject.
Germany was a great power, which gave them the authority to make a decision.
We tend to see Germany as a warmonger, but they were often keen on finding a diplomatic solution.
Take the Berlin Conference of 1884 as an example. All major colonial powers came together in Berlin to negotiate how they would divide Africa among them.
And I believe this was before Wilhelm II became Kaiser. Germany and Britain hadn't _exactly_ fallen out yet.
wait France and Russia did have colonies in North America
@@idontknowwhatmypfpis1918 ,Russia used to own Alaska and France has colonies in the carribean
At 39:08 Drew looks like he is the one saluting to the flag
Not funny.
Like how the Chinese had their “great leap forward”
America has its “manifest destiny”
Those aren't really similar
@@__Man_ they both involve massacre of humans
@@redsky4038 except 1 was much much much worse.
@@thesimpleanswer2264 that really depends on how you look at it. The Great Leap Forward was a result of a famine caused by the Chinese thinking birds were eating crops, in actuality the birds were killing bacteria in the crops, while the killing of native Americans were intentional. People put good names on bad things.
As someone who grew up in Seattle, I wish we learned more about this in our history class
Like moment after the US gov occupied southern Cascadia they started tons of wars with indigenous one of main reasons why the topic is suppressd in the US. Check out the 1907 Seattle vancouver race war*
Wait drew with a 40 minute video…THERE IS A GOD!!!!!!
18:21 of course Charles Griffin said that ALLEGEDLY
I like how Canadians annoyed Oversimplified so much he threatened them with invasion, Drake and Biden.
Did other USA historian youtubers just did what oversimplified Fans want....?
6:00 They actually tried to claim Oregon but when things started to heat up they just decided to give up and let us and the British fight it out.
6:55 Fort Vancouver is literally right across the river from Oregon and yes it's still there.

Fun fact Canada has a burned earth policy if it was ever invaded by the U.S
it would probably start another world war
Like that would stop them
@@azulaquaza4916 that’s not the point, the point of a burned earth policy isn’t to win against your enemy, the point is to not let them have anything to celebrate but a barren wasteland and no resources to use, no oil, no food, no water
@@lastprimaris7914 If you think you can burn all of Toronto before the Americans roll through go ahead, but the only ones who will look like clowns are the Canadians destroying their own history. 80% live within 100 miles of the border this isnt Russia and Napoleon.

Little did he know that 8 months later 0:00 would be in an oversimplified video
This is so refreshing to see someone pay attention to the video after watching Tommy react
The Oversimplified Pig War video will be shown in history class as the official cause of the Canadian-American War of 2023.
Oversimplified is going to make a video telling how an Oversimplified video started a war
@@Mill_Jr lol
It's funny how Canada and the USA went from hating each other to being each others greatest ally
Well when America enter the world stage we realized that we hated everyone else more and just went up from there
You can thank the World Wars for that
Fort Vancouver was close to Oregon, because it was on the site of what is now Vancouver, WA, (across the Columbia from Portland) and not Vancouver BC. This kind of answers the common question why there are 2 Vancouvers.
The most American non war war ever.
2:34 As a Bosnian, it's completely fine to say that you drew even if your capital building is burnt down, maybe even won if we are taking everything into a conservation
37:05 Yeah both Britain and France wanted to get involved in the American civil war for multiple reasons, such as getting cotton, but the situation became awkward as getting directly involved would have been very unpopular with the lower class.
Then there's France who also had been eyeing places in America like Mexico for colonization and a United America would be a threat to their colonization efforts
It’s kind of cool that the whole video is about some islands I can see from my house.
they already have Canada in the US. it's called Michigan's Upper peninsula
What
Gold rushes were kinda a thing that ignored international boundaries- because most governments realize that short of shooting a ton of people there wasn’t much they could do to stop it. Plus the local area would make a killing selling supplies and tools to the miners. The main thing that made it tolerable was the miners weren’t allowed to settle down there afterwards unless they changed citizenship.
The story is quite funny as well as informative. We need more sessions like this
The fact that I knew what the Pig War was before the release of Oversimplified, and I'm not even a US citizen makes me question my life.
You should be proud. We salute you.
39:09 The salute fits perfectly on Drew WTF
Not funny.
Oversimplified actually watched this video because he included it in his Punic war video
The end in the pig war is the best
Not funny.
I imagine oversimplified said the 1812 war was a draw so he didn’t have a civil war in the comments
Actually during the War of 1812, we razed the British Canadian capital, I think at the time Toronto? (correct me if I’m mistaken), so yeah they got us and we got them too
A draw sounds like the best way to describe our 1812 conflict, yep.
how to make chocolate cake 175g butter
175g sugar
3 eggs
150g flour
50g cocoa
1tsp baking powder
1tsp vanilla extract

Oversimplified could unite with Pewdiepie to help each other in the conquering of Canada and Norway, together they could even get Antarctica.
the Swedish wiki page says that the potato was a fallen combatant on the American side and the pig a fallen combatant on the British side
I mainly imagine oversimplified said a draw because then there was less of a chance a war would start in his comment section
I don't even know what the pig war even is before watching the video. I literally thought it's gonna be about the bay of pigs invasion.
Thank you for accepting our request to react to this!
The first fish I every caught was on San Juan island. One of my best memories is all it took was some random pig to die for that to happen so be it
Canadians watching the end: W H A T H E F U C K
39:09 drew is confirmed saluting manifest destiny of canada
lmao
was that lmao an accidental occurrence
Finally, someone else that finds it weird that germany decided
They had no skin in North America and were mostly neutral to both sides at the time. A pretty good pick, actually.
Ikr, their skin wasn't in America but their Liver and Kidneys were, and I had assumed they were secretly biased towards America for reasons surrounding that
I love Oversimplified!! And you Drew I love country balls as well
me a canadian who watched till the end: should we be worried? like they almost started a war over a pig.

pretty sure when I was in grade school we took a field trip to fort Vancouver (lived in Oregon), of course being the kid I didn't pay attention but still super cool!
6:51 yes we do still have fort Vancouver. Unfortunately we don't have much when it comes to the sights in the pig war
Talking of officers sent way out west. In the 1850's one was a certain Captain Grant. Not quite as remote as that though. I think called California or something.
Traveling there actually meant going via ship, then through panama (no canal) and by ship again. Dealing with deseases all the way. It was a hell of a trip. The Chernow biography describes it in some detail. Which also shows how incredibly remote this area was, even for the US, not to mention for Britain.
The Swedish wiki counted the potato as a casualty.
Ah yes I've always wondered what someone from California would think about a war that didn't happen 😂

I love it when Drew doens't understand a single thing happening, he's just like "oh im supposed to react" and reacts.
There’s an alternate history trilogy that has the British declare war on the Union after the Trent Affair. Unfortunately, while the premise is interesting, the books themselves are terrible examples of ‘MURICA and lack of historical knowledge. Which is odd because the author’s other works are pretty good, and in some of them he isn’t overly fond of US authorities
Christmas has definitely came early
I love the McDonald's cameos.
