The "iceland us bullying me"is a refrence to the cod wars
I thought it was about the 2016 European Championship. Maybe both ?
Ah yes, the Cod Wars. When a bunch of Icelandic and British fishermen got so rowdy that the UN had to step in.
I was about to say that dammit
Drew literally read this three different times I know about and all of them he said he's never heard this before lol
yes.
"Byzantium" was actually the literal continuation of Rome. The Empire had several emperors, nothing new in Roman history. And then the western half fell. The east lived on. No one even called it Byzantium back then. The "Byzantines" and pretty much everyone else called it the Roman Empire, or Roman Kingdom. Then when the HRE was formed, the Latins and western Europeans started calling it the "Greek Empire". But it was still objectively the remnants of Rome. The term "Byzantine" wasn't used at all till a century after the fall of Constantinople, when some German historian in the HRE used it, since he didn't acknowledge it as Rome. Despite it literally being Rome. Probably the most successful propaganda in world history.
I think it should be noted the sheer amount of hatred between the Catholic and Orthodox worlds as much of the Catholic world(Even the Pope) simply did not acknowledge the Byzantines as the true successors to the Roman Empire but instead chose the Holy Roman Empire.
@@syrialak101 which after the Thirty Years War was neither Holy, Roman, nor an Empire. It was the United Protestant German Duchies.
The aztecs were never called aztecs, they were called Mexicas/Meshicas and their language was a version of Nahuatl that they called “Mexican” so Karens in the US are technically correct when they said they dont speak mexican.
@@syrialak101 True, that's how they would have seen it. But my point is not that the Byzantines were the "true successors to the Roman Empire". My point is that there never was a Byzantine Empire. The Roman Empire just didn't fall before 1453. It didn't even loose the west permanently after the fall of the west. Italy was reconquered under the reign of Emperor Justinian in the 500's. They held the city of Rome until the mid 700's and still had some holdings in Italy till the 1100's, the last remaining one being in Naples.
But even if they hadn't retained any control of the west, they would still just have been the Roman Empire. It was seen as one single empire with two emperors at the time when the west fell. Which was not unprecedented, Rome had many periods with several emperors. This time, the Western half just happened to fall. And the east lived on, and even reconquered some of the west for a time.
Wans´t Constantinople called byzantium in the time of the roman empire and thats why it is known as Byzantine empire ?

Ok now i have to check it out
Which oversimplified

Whereas Germany was Austria *HUNGRY*
0:21 and that is how the love story between England and France began.
0:49 That symbol is called as swastik and it is considered very sacred in India.
yes
I thought it was the hooked cross

Pretty sure he knew
3:58 drew you will never find a party without that guy because its you
You can't say the byzantine empire is the only "new rome" one you will accept, it literally was the Roman empire.
Facts
he literally said he recognizes it as the roman empire what more did you want the man to say.
Byzantine Empire was just Roman Empire, but Constantinople City was the New Rome City. ;)

Oui, oui
Auctually the British offered them soup if the Irish People converted to Protestant and dropped the O in their last name, and if you chose to convert then you would be called as having "sipped the soup", if your name was Kevin O' Riley then you would be changed to Kevin Riley

"Next you're going to tell me Italy didn't actually switch sides??"
*About that..*
They didn’t switch sides technically they just got invaded
@@Dont-Watch-My-Vids-U-Regret-it Im pretty sure he was referring to WWI
@@Dont-Watch-My-Vids-U-Regret-it Mussolinis Italy stayed loyal till end, but other side of Civil war switched side
The Triple Alliance provided that Germany and Austria-Hungary were to assist Italy if it was attacked by France without provocation. In turn, Italy would assist Germany if attacked by France. In the event of a war between Austria-Hungary and Russia, Italy promised to remain neutral. By entering the war on the side of the Triple Entente, Italy merely broke the agreement of the Triple Alliance. Switching sides would entail that they were meant to help Austria-Hungary and Germany in their war but instead became their enemy, or that they were fighting along side Austria-Hungary and Germany but then started fighting along side the Triple Entente.
In WWII, Italy was invaded by the Allies and eventually surrendered and the Kingdom of Italy deposed Mussolini. After the surrender, there was an Italian civil war with the Italian Resistance and Kingdom of Italy aided by the Allies, and the Italian Socialist Republic aided by Germany. I don't know if calling a civil war is switching sides but I wouldn't.
4:43 that's actually true. Italy didn't switch sides, they had a civil war instead.
Fun fact: Guerrilla Warfare was invented in India by the Maratha Empire
It was used in battle of hydaspes too
Purushotam(porus) vs Alexander
No it was actually invented by sun tzu.
There are various types! One was even seen in Japan when The samurai jumped in top of their enemy from the trees while in warfare within the woods
No
Embarassing moments in history:
- Norway - drew about iceland flag, 2020
0:48 drew, thats a normal swastika and not the nazi one, you dont need to censor it
yaah 😅 many foreigners have misjudged with Swastika . Actually what Nazi used was "Hakenkreutz" meaning "hooked-cross" in German. Swastika has nothing to do with it.
Better be safe than sorry lol
I don't think YT cares
TH-cam's too damn draconian to tell the difference.
Because YT algorithms will be smart enough...
Italy did switch sides, and it didnt. Germany installed a puppet state while the allies pushed north from Sicily. So technically the Italian people switched sides, but germany tried to keep italy loyal

Jokes are ruined when you explain them
7:10 demonetization oof
Haha
Drew, I’m so proud of you for knowing about Michael Collins.
0:43 the joke is that many of nasa scientists worked for germany in ww2
4:07 volcano sounds way cooler than 2 fishermen yelling at a british destroyer while trying to fish cods
Hey drew 😅 that's 'Swastika' Its second symbol used in Hinduism after this 🕉 . Also this is used in Jainism and Buddhism. What Nazi used was "Hakenkreutz" meaning "hooked-cross" in German. So this has nothing to do with Swastika 😅 I hope this helped you to get rid of this misconception .
FINALLY
I highly doubt TH-cam cares which one that is, honestly.
@@gengarzilla1685 tru
@@gengarzilla1685 but a person just had to state that cause swastik is totally different from the hooked cross both morally and visually
I was amazed to find that story of Boris Yeltsin true. I love those funny events in history.
The Iceland and United Kingdom joke was referring to the Cod wars
I disagree with ur point on the idea we shouldnt apply history today. It kinda flies in the face of the idea of those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it. Knowing the history and then not basing ur opinions and actions based on the history is not really any different than not knowing the history.
I love that this channel exists.
Getting a banana as a snack in the 1800s, in a factory in England, before adequate refrigeration and when most transport was still wooden sailing ships, would have been a bloody luxury.
People actually used to pineapples as a decoration for a party to show off their tremendous wealth
That is Star Wars: The Clone Wars at 4:37, the best Star Wars TV show.
4:43
Drew: next thing your going to tell me is italy never actually switched sides
Me:
My head: well... technically they never did
Fun fact: Royal inbreeding wasn't done to "keep the bloodline pure", but to keep territories and lands in the family and to ensure that your offspring inherited all of the lands in the family, without splitting it up.
so Alabama no longer has someone to relate to

I was at that part right when I read this
The Iceland thing was the cod wars where Iceland kept expanding its sea territory which would mean less fish would go past the UK due to Iceland overfishing, Iceland expanded its borders 3 times and each time UK threatened war but Iceland threatened to pull out of NATO which would mean NATO would lose strategic submarine areas so uk was to back down, in the end Iceland had 200km of sea from any part of its border that others countries needed permission to fish from so thousands in the UK lost jobs, UK then opted to have a similar law which caused disagreement with France, I think in fact that's one of the many factors of brexit
Day 5 of telling Drew that Pepsi never had a navy
You wached history matters ?
@@muxijim6442 You right, you right, but I also checked some other stuff, and the rumor does get *really* shady
*HOW DARE YOU!*
You ruined my childhood and my dreams!
REALLY!? HOW MANY OTHER LIES HAVE I BEEN TOLD BY THE COUNCIL!?
Day 26: still wondering if drew will look a map change color again
Drew doesn't know about the Cod wars (Þorskastríðin in Icelandic)? When Iceland (c country without a Navy) won a naval campaign against the British in the 1970s, in a territorial dispute over fishing rights.
18 mins and it already has 4K views this is a good channel
4:00 it's referencing th cod wars. You should definitely check them out
4:03 | I think its talking about how they had some fishing water disagreements lol
Bruh his face at the end saying what we were trying to say 😂😂😂😂
Drew is still the goat even 3 years later
Me, as a person who lives in the southern hemisphere, always get confuse when I see drew with a jacket in this time of the year 'cause I'm getting cooked with the temperature
Drew u have had the biggest glow up I’ve ever seen
At 4:03. This is talking about an incident in the 1970s, when British fishermen were in Iceland waters, taking Icelandic fish. The Icelanders got really pissed off, and they started to ram British fishermen boats, scaring them off. I believe a war was about to explode when cooler heads prevailed in London because, well, it's Iceland. It's not a good look for a former imperial power to bully far smaller countries after just having been accepted into the EEC (precursor to the EU). I believe the fishing waters problem was resolved in Brussels, as both the UK and Iceland were members of the EEC when this happened.
But Italy didn't actually switch sides Drew they just had a civil war.
3:14 Can we acknowledge that Mumin format?
4:33 You see, with notice being given so far in advance, by the time the Inquisition arrived everyone had forgotten that they were coming.
9:00 Wait, penguins from madagascar, Norway, Copenhagen
everything makes sense now
4:06 it’s because in the cod wars Britain was losing cod and discovered with Iceland and was scars of them leaving some group
4:05 I think they’re talking about water area because of fishing
The UK, Iceland, Norway and Ireland are kinda competing for the Norwegian Sea and the rest of the North Atlantic
"Next thing you're gonna tell me italy didn't actually switch sides"
Buddy, i have some news for you.
I like how in the thumbnail you replaced the CSA with the south instead of the flag
my genre on spotify is "not available in your country"
6:35 going to hawaii, too far, and ending up in oceania moment
I think that one about iceland bullying England was refering to the cod war
The testudo formation could actually be stacked on one another, creating formation with more layer, but still solid and compact
not sure if that's what you mean, but I can just imagine a bunch of soldiers trying to balance on the shields of the soldiers underneath
@@carteradams43 more or less, but that problem didn't exist: the testudo was a damn floor, you could easily walk on it
@@paolob.5667 still, imagine the weight of having another soldier on top of you, with all of his gear and his own shield
@@carteradams43 yeah, that wasn't very funny
@@paolob.5667 I doubt it would be
THE END HAD ME LAUGHING LITERALLY SO HARD
I
Oversimplified finally uploaded
i believe the iceland bullying england thing was a reference to when england was knocked out of euro 2016 by iceland
i thought it was the cod wars
Good job
I am working for impasta vid
It is reference to "fish war" between Iceland and UK
Portugal: Abolishes Monarchy for being friends with the UK
Also Portugal: Stays friends with the UK
Man your job is so cool. You get paid to look at memes 😂
10:34 it would seem as Drew has forgotten that it is NNN
Drew got too excited about Belle Delphine's bells for it to be a joke XD
Just found out that he has smooth jazz in the background I feel like a Balkan against the world
4:05 no its the cod wars
4:38 the way he just gets louder and anakins face 🤣
mehmed the conqueror was carried the galleys "ships" through land during siege of constantinople
7:20 is a reference to how young men who had higher voices were castrated so they could keep their high voices and perform in opera companies into adulthood.
Hollywood : no one expect the Spanish Inquisition
Reality: we expected you 30 days ago
1:20 my dad went to history, never to be seen again
I've actually used that I'm Austria joke on my nephew. He was not amused because he hates dad (or I guess in this case uncle) jokes or puns.
At 4:16 it was a reference of the cod wars.
4:11 War of Salmon UK vs. Iceland
7:27
Even though Portugal and England has always (since 1373) been allies, their relations have not always been the best, allies, but not friends, for example, the episode of the "mapa cor-de-rosa", the pink map.
The Portuguese during the Berlin conference (partition of Africa by European powers) showed up with a map of Africa, where they had coloured in pink the new territories that they wanted to have, annex the territories between Angola and Mozambique, both of these countries already being under Portuguese influence.
Unfortunately for Portugal, Britain wanted to annex all territories between Cairo and Cape Town, and thus, wanted those territories between Angola and Mozambique too.
Britain issued an ultimatum to Portugal, demanding that they'd leave the claimed territories.
Portugal being at the time (late XIX° century) a country who had several troubles, and lost his old might, the King decided, in all logic, to accept Britain's demands, Portugal being not able to risk a war against the first global power.
This acceptance of such demands, however, made the king even less popular, leading to a greater democratic influence, and, later, the end of monarchy in Portugal.
Nonetheless, Portuguese people weren't happy with Britain too, and literally had until they joined world war 1 this passage in their hymn: "Contra os Britões, marchar, marchar!' which can be translated to "Against the British, forward, forward!".
It has later been changed to "Contra os canhões marchar, marchar!" "Against the canons...."
Hope someone reads all of this.
I read this and found this interesting thank you
I read it, for fun despite already knowing all of that... they teach you that stuff when you're like 10 or 11 here in Portugal.
