5:34 I believe this isn't referring to Napoleon's return from Elba, but rather to his Six Days' Campaign, where he managed to beat the allied forces invading northern France in a series of battles, despite being basically on his last legs and outnumbered locally little under 2-to-1 and overall over 5-to-1.
The reason why so many cities were built on swamps is quite simple. Before humans started to turn rivers into straight lines, they were meandering all over the place, thus the riverbanks were naturally all swampy and muddy and everything. Yet rivers were extremely important for transportation of goods of all kinds, so it was natural to build a city near or directly at a river. Only with the city-building did people then drain the swamps. The picture we have of rivers and their surroundings having a clear cut between water and dry land is not a river's natural form.
Well, there were some cases a bit different like the Mexicas who built a city literally in the middle of a freaking lake when building Tenochtitlan, so that was one case of people turning a lacuifer bed into a swamp rather than a swamp into something else but yeah and naturally by growing outside of the lake delimitations they also ended up building right into the swampy areas, but that was the post-colonial European and natives to be fair. In fact the Spanish did the opposite of what should have been done: drain the lake and redirect the streams, which delibilitated the ground immensely. But it's quite interesting, the fact that "roads" were literally man-made canals, rivers and streams in the middle of the city-lake, and going in-between collosal structures like huge pyramids and temples perfectly hold atop of the lake, no wonder the Europeans were so amazed by their engineering. That was also hundreds of years before the Dutch started constructing over water and gaining land from the sea and lakes.
5:50 I currently live here in Guyana and those had nothing to do with jonestown. Guyana has a border dispute with Venezuela claiming almost half of the country and Suriname claims the new river triangle which the GDF (Guyana defense forces) are in control of.
The "tree" thing is amazing. Just amazing. How people from the past was thinking about future generations. There is nothing like that now, except 2-3 probes in the space.
(Me and my mom are in and from Canada this is important) I told my mom that when the Philippines got their independence from the USA they got a second Independence Day so their second Independence Day was on the 4th of July... my mom responded with " I think they steeled ours " I am speechless..
As a brazilian, yesterday, I saw on the TV _"Sweden joins NATO"_ (it wasn't in english). I said "Woohoo!" so my mom wanted me to explain what is so important about that NATO/OTAN thing.
5:50 as a south american, the answer is colonialism. The spanish had very vage borders but it got resolve with wars after independence, since guyana was a british colony for almost all of history venezuela could not invade( for ovious reasons)britan to resolve the border dispute, now that guyana is independent venezuela could invade but guyana still has heavy ties with britan so the only thing venezuela can do is recognice their side of the border
The "terrible" title for Ivan was likely a title of fear and respect give to him by Russia's enemies not because he was brutal to his people. He wasn't much worse than any king during his era
1:31 Actually it’s the Comanche not the Apache that I would call the “Mongols of North America” cuz their mastery of the horse was so good that they dominated their neighbors.
Hi Drew, Its been over 2 years since i watched your channel and Im happy im finally back. Its nice to see you still making and posting videos. keep working and i hope you can grow even more
Regarding 10:20, many Second Crusade academics would actually pin the loss during the Second Crusade on the Byzantine Empire. Namely lack of support and adequate supplies. Specifically the flood on September ~7 1147 at Selymbria, Byzantine climatic experts allowed the German contingent to make camp on a flood plain, during flood season. Then, shockingly, there was a flash flood that decimated Conrad III of Germany’s force, its supplies, and morale. Such events greatly contributed to the Second Crusade failing. It wasn’t always nice friendship…
The german supply lines and economy were unitl 1944 relative intact and the second biggest in terms of production of steel, planes and weapons after the US.
That Trisha era in Japan was something else. You had Michael Jackson Kibutsuji running around with a basketball, a six eyed moon guy, a pot deformed guy with eyes for a mouth and mouths for eyes, a guy with crippling fear, a sister obsessed guy obsessed with his own ugliness, and a man eating train with spiders.
Guyanese here, the map is like that because both Venezuela and Suriname claims our land and Google is portraying the map showing everyone’s claim. As you know Venezuela is claiming about 80% of Guyana or out Essesquibo region and Suriname is claiming the Tigri triangle.
wow Venezuela is so greedy that's crazy i knew they claim some of your land but i didn't know it was so much ... and i didn't know about suriname's claims ( there is also a territorial dispute between suriname and ... france, since suriname claims a part of french guiana too, but even if i am french i don't know who is right )
The Catholic church seriously went MLP on us with Dante's inferno. (MLP: Friendship is Magic includes several characters and plotlines that are derived almost entirely from fanfiction, including the names of the characters _Lyra_ and _Bonbon_ and their lesbian relationship. One episode copies the premise of _The Time Loop Trilogy,_ a popular fanfic in which Twilight Sparkle has sex with Princess Luna, and quotes a recurring line from it.)
so the bog was a great natural defence from Calvary or from any attack, Venice was specifically made to ward off the huns, who later settled in Hungary
I live in Sweden and I got the Sweden ball plush that i ordered 3 months ago and I Love it🇸🇪🔵👍. Can you do a Finland ball next. Maybe a Estonia Finland and hungary trio🇫🇮🇪🇪🇭🇺
considering how innacurate were cannons on a Galleon, the more cannons, the higher the chance of obliterating the enemy ship. The Spaniards ruled the seas for around 100 or 150 years so I guess it worked for them until they eventually ran out of money to continue building more cannons idk
Petition for Drew to make a series covering Ace Combat and its multiple universes: [Day 172] The Cessna T-41 Mescalero is a military version of the popular Cessna 172, operated by the United States Air Force and Army, as well as the armed forces of various other countries as a pilot-training aircraft.
6:21 as a portuguese living in the south of england, I don´t understand why.... it's a bit of a toxic relationship passing as healthy (like toxic ones do). Lets not forget that the 1890 British Ultimatum towards Portugal (leading eventually to the dethroning of the Monarchy in Portugal). The raid on portuguese peasents by english soldiers that happened 3 years before 1373; Most recently the invasion of tourists, especially in Algarve and the golf courts in a region of few water resources; The english attacking and rading portuguese ships when Portugal was in the Iberian Union (and even after lets not pretend it didn´t happen); Oh but, the most outrageous thing: the english Victory (the only btw) in the FIFA world-championship of Footbal, where they had to win against Portugal at its Peak, with the best player Eusebio - we were stolen a victory.
@@Itziiiiiii not a joke, except the fifa stuff - that's not important, - still even if not a joke, it can be taken with ease, but people should also stay afar from nationalistic narratives
@RuiCBGLima Yeah, the football one did not seem very serious, but the rest make sense. Although, how does something that happens before the alliance count?
@@Itziiiiiii good point to rethorically answer: it was a raid that happened 3 years before the alliance, I think people would still have that in mind, or at least would be more carefull with people from the country of england, especially taking rumours in consideration in the middle ages. The alliance is "purely" political, if such thing exists. The portuguese in culture are much closer to the french and spanis (castillians) and so they know they would have to protect themselves from the french and spanish. The problem is that maybe the english are worst in terms war mongering
Not sure it's the right niche, however if anyone's interested in Hungarian/Central European history/warfare during the Middle Ages I warmly recommend Schwerpunkt
The vikings established the settlement of Dyflinn in a swamp actively avoided by the Irish Celts. Later after the vikings there assmiliated into the Irish culture, the Normans took the settlement as the Pale, and established Dublin. It is the most insultingly un-Irish city that happens to be our capital built on historically unwanted land
