As an Irishman, RT Game definitely had the most accurate description of the typical feelings of Irish people about this whole situation. We’re all Irish, there’s been so much violence and death, let’s just vibe
Nah think your confused but you got the spirit ...Scotland wants to leave the Uk so they took a vote and all the Protestant Scottish/English wanted them to stay were as the Catholic Scottish wants to leave and majority of the vote was for them to stay and not catholic Scottish weren’t happy and since Scottish and Ireland are Celtic countries we support each other because we don’t like the English that’s why Minx wants a free Scotland like we want a free Ireland
@@chickensandwich939 most Irish people don't support unification. Th Uk pumps alot of money into northern Ireland, whether its unemployment benefits or police force, money that ireland doesnt have to spend. weve got a homelessness crisis and hospital crisis to take care of first
No joke, Lud would be a good teacher. He managed to find different perspectives and summarise key points and explain it in a way the modern gen can understand. I hope Ludwig does more of these random history stuff when he comes back
I'm from Northern Ireland, and I saw this video and just thought, "oh no..." Surprisingly wasn't as bad as I thought it was going, Ludwig was very conscientious about everything.
Scottish Heritage here, yeah dude deadass just said people would be alright with King Billy. Like dude, noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. Fuck King Billy and fuck the Campells.
I knew this vid was coming! That summary was god tier, the timing was so perfect and he just brushed it off like it was nothing. Irish gang rise up 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
The guy in the video kinda glossed over how cruel the British were, and also glossed over how a tiny army beat the whole British army into a ceasefire using geurilla warfare, and actually revolutionising how that tactic was worth.
You can’t fight an entire army with guerrilla warfare. That’s not how it works. Guerrilla warfare is simply blending in with civilians while actually being a soldier, aka using them as human shields. Then, when the inevitable unjustified murder happens, they blame the people who shot them dead, thus you gain more recruits even though you just used their family as human shields. And in todays age, it is borderline unbeatable because international opinion will plummet due to modern media/journalism and so will the army and its morale. For example, in the Boer Wars they just stuck them in camps instead. That doesn’t work however when cameras and journalists are watching. Additionally, you said the entire British Army. Considering that it’s not even acknowledged as a war by historians & that they had reached their maximum size for the biggest empire in history, I doubt you even managed to fight 5% of their army let alone 100%. They were also quite literally at war with Afghanistan after WW1, and in conflict in the Middle East every year afterwards.
"I'm an American, my education is dog water, I don't know what's going on in the rest of the world" as an American I have never related more to a quote before

As an irish person who's a historian in the simplest of terms...ulster plantation lead to lots of proteststants in the North which lead to them being partitioned in 1920 then when catholics wanted equal rights in the 1960 it lead to the troubles
@@kingoftheskys2135 the troubles is extremely interesting but sad. the home rule and Dublin strike and lock out is also very interesting when you do the correct research
@@kingoftheskys2135 Ireland has 33,000 years of history, England only ruled ireland for 400 years. I love learning about Irish kings and mythology I'm partly descended from two kings Brain Boru(Brian Bóruma mac Cennétig) and Lugaid Mac Con.
Don't usually comment, but I think it would be awesome if this Ludwig version of history became an ongoing segment on the channel. Most countries have interesting histories behind them.
@@theideaofevil fun fact, or not so fun. Roughly Once every 7 days somewhere in the world people have a celebration day of independence from The Brit empire.
the way he did the recap on beat and ended it right when the song ended was kind of amazing. idk how but he is always on beat with anything he says if there is a song playing.
@@Epicrandomness1111 Cromwell believed in democracy as much as Stalin did lmao. Fam just went and committed genocide as a dictator in my country for like 5 years and dipped. Almost half of the population of Ireland was either killed or sent to the Caribbean to be slaves during his short reign. He was a maniac
The Conquest of Ireland arguably wasn’t fully completed until the Act of Union in 1800 when the Kingdom of Ireland (after centuries of constitutional and regime changes) was forcibly merged into the British state (though our civil service and courts remained separate, and we retained our legislative representatives). Those representatives forced to sit in London instead of Dublin, but went back to Ireland in 1919 and declared independence in a reconstituted Irish Parliament (copying the Hungarian walkout of the Austrian parliament in the 1860s). European history is very complicated as you can imagine ..
Thank God Ireland was merged with the UK otherwise the people ruling the irish at the time did not want the native irish to have any rights at all. It was the Westminster parliament that repeal all the anti-irish laws with great opposition from the ruling elite in Ireland.
As a wee kid I was a part of the Orange marches due to family being involved and me being about 6. Now you could just say my favourite colour is green lol.
I'm northen irish and I've never really been involved between nationalism and unionism, i was lucky, got good school, good home, good friends so seeing kids being pushed out to do these riots by their own neighbours is just so sad.
no offense my man but he absolutely blew it at the end lmao everything was pretty deceent till he said the south and the north fought and that was the troubles lol
@@seanmckeown9910 ah sure he was just simplifying and mememing it for content at that point haha, I guess I mostly mean the video as a whole is a commendable effort for an American who knew nothing of it before hand
@@svendinsvinderlin4569 true but I think he was looking specifically into the history as to why the north and republic are split, not a general history of Ireland, while Britain is involved in the story of the famine and why it had such an impact on Ireland, it isn’t explicitly connected to the split
@@benislazy9569 I mean.... The famine was a pretty decent part of why Ireland left the UK in the first place. Ludwig makes it sound like it's just petty national pride even though England basically committed genocide on our people.
In the hall of the mountain king is such a great price of music to invoke escalation of events. Something I've always appreciated about ludwig's content is his ability to not just incorporate music but to do it in a way that felt almost movie like.
I love being scottish with many NI friends watching an americans perspective of this history, amazing also so funny seeing the vague edit after watching it live
As an irishman I love the energy she brought to the table but also I don't think Scotland was just brought along in Brexit, I think there was a vote that ended up being really close
as an irish person, this was really good grasp of our history from an outsider's perspective, however i think it is important to mention that the british did more than just occupy ireland and try spread their religion by just breeding lmao, oliver cromwell and more essentially tried to commit genocide and slaughtered thousands of people, including women and children just for the hell of it, there was also the penal laws that were incredibly oppressive and horrific and resulted in many irish people being tortured and executed just for something like speaking irish instead of english. the trauma the atrocities the british committed to my people and country caused still have an impact on our society today. we werent just fighting for independence so we could practice religion, it was because the british treated us as sub-human. we weren't even allowed to vote for a very long time. i know this video is lighthearted and stuff and theres no way for you to know everything so this isn't a hate comment or anything! just wanted to let you know the more gory details that are often left out when a brit is telling the story.
It looks so easy for ludwig to absorb information and spit it back into simpler words. It's so fun to watch too. This would make a great recurring segment if he finds enough streamer friends that are from different areas of the world!!
As someone who has lived in Northern Ireland all my life, you've done a pretty good job Lud. However, little bit of clarification, the 20th century fighting - the Troubles - was mainly Catholics Vs Protestants in NORTHERN Ireland, not between the Republic and NI. Now because of a funeral, Brexit, the Irish language act and a few other factors, it's looking awfully like the troubles might start up again in NI, rather than just NI joining the Republic
My last semester I had a "British civilisation from its creation to Brexit" course and yet I feel like I've learned more in this video than in those months
I’ve been watching for a year and a half and I don’t usually comment but I just wanna say that speech at the end with the music was god tier talented. So glad to see you finally get the views you deserve.
Never in my 25 years of living in Ireland have I heard of people having the same opinion as Minx. I’ve met so many people from Northern Ireland and all of them have considered themselves Irish. Calling them fake Irish is so stupid. Think she represented Ireland badly in this
Minx''s character, for how close is to her actual personality, is meant to look and sound like a mouth-loose angry Irish person so yeah its supposed to sound excessively over the top
@@zoinks7014 Well most of the younger population in the North will call themselves Irish. Like the only reason why the North are still apart of the UK is due to the boomers. I think it’s like 50% of the North that wants to unify, but those stats could be off
11:01 just want to add that the reason Sinn Féin won the majority of seats was because most people were shocked at the British reaction after the Rising in executing all the leaders and arresting thousands of men suspected of being involved. Most civilians didn’t agree with what the rebels were doing during the rising (they were even spat at on the streets) but they became sympathetic towards them after the British reaction.
I took a class on the Irish Literary Revival movement in the 20th century last semester (I’m an American who happens to really like Ireland). It was fascinating. As far as I know, one thing that this video glosses over is how the British basically annihilated Irish’s gaelic culture, to the point that its language is progressively dying. When Minx says she wants her country back, it’s probably because it’s hard to miss the fact that hardly anyone natively speaks the Irish language and so on. You look at something like James Joyce’s short story “The Dead,” and you realize just how depressing that fact is, that there’s just this massive history of the Gaelic Irish people that’s slowly fading away as time passes. I highly recommend anyone interested in Irish culture to look at Old Irish mythology and it’s various cycles of legends (we focused mostly on Fionn mac Cumhaill’s Fenian Cycle and the Ulster Cycle). It can be super confusing, but it’s fascinating to see just how rich this seemingly forgotten mythology is.
fun fact Irelands flag is based off the French flag because Thomas Francis Meagher said fuck it that flags cool and the colors on the flag all have a meaning green is for Irish independence orange represents protestant British unionists and white represents peace and purity and this is pretty much all I can remember from history Ireland has a pretty boring history its mainly just famine, invasion, famine, revolution and now were here today but its always nice to see someone try learn Irish history even though its really fucked and confusing
watching this live and seeing him quickly write out the summary and then perform it perfectly timed to the music is when I truly realized that ludwig is built different

@Eupo not hard when you have multiple takes, sure. But first try perfect? And for how often he does it on stream is commendable

As an irish person who's a historian in the simplest of terms...ulster plantation lead to lots of proteststants in the North which lead to them being partitioned in 1920 then when catholics wanted equal rights in the 1960 it lead to the troubles

22:01 RT
25:01 Recap
25:32 Summary
Me, who's studied irish history for school: Aw sick, Irish history, I should learn about my culture
Only 1916 and 1920 r good the rest is ider sad or just bowring
@@kingoftheskys2135 the troubles is extremely interesting but sad. the home rule and Dublin strike and lock out is also very interesting when you do the correct research
@@kingoftheskys2135 Ireland has 33,000 years of history, England only ruled ireland for 400 years. I love learning about Irish kings and mythology I'm partly descended from two kings Brain Boru(Brian Bóruma mac Cennétig) and Lugaid Mac Con.
That ending only proves that grabbing an English degree was worth it for the long run.
That summary at the end is LEGENDARY
I WAS BORN IN THE DUBLIN STREET WHERE THE ROYALS DRUM THE BEAT
Me watching the history of ireland: *in one ear out the other*
Ludwig watching the history of ireland: *shamwowing all that juicy knowledge.*
25:32
Don't mind me just putting this time stamp here just in case I learn about Ireland's history in the near future
Don't usually comment, but I think it would be awesome if this Ludwig version of history became an ongoing segment on the channel. Most countries have interesting histories behind them.
Yeah and it would help a lot with understanding architecture in Geoguessr lmao
I would watch one for each country
Most countries have their own story of fighting for independence from the Brits lmao
@@theideaofevil fun fact, or not so fun. Roughly Once every 7 days somewhere in the world people have a celebration day of independence from The Brit empire.
27:57 what an absolute chad move
the way he did the recap on beat and ended it right when the song ended was kind of amazing. idk how but he is always on beat with anything he says if there is a song playing.
2 of my favorite streamers that i never thought would know each other... Ludwig and RT... Such a POG moment
I knew all this but it’s fun to see Ludwig’s reaction to learning
As an English person I didn’t expect the English civil war to be a surprise to someone from anywhere else
Americans don't understand where their republicanism comes from lol
@@Epicrandomness1111 Cromwell believed in democracy as much as Stalin did lmao. Fam just went and committed genocide as a dictator in my country for like 5 years and dipped. Almost half of the population of Ireland was either killed or sent to the Caribbean to be slaves during his short reign. He was a maniac
@@eoghancasserly3626 he’s not referencing Cromwell he’s referencing the levellers, who Cromwell executed
@@eggthief9310 ah based nvm
I was just referencing the parliamentarians and Whigs generally
The Conquest of Ireland arguably wasn’t fully completed until the Act of Union in 1800 when the Kingdom of Ireland (after centuries of constitutional and regime changes) was forcibly merged into the British state (though our civil service and courts remained separate, and we retained our legislative representatives). Those representatives forced to sit in London instead of Dublin, but went back to Ireland in 1919 and declared independence in a reconstituted Irish Parliament (copying the Hungarian walkout of the Austrian parliament in the 1860s).
European history is very complicated as you can imagine ..
Thank God Ireland was merged with the UK otherwise the people ruling the irish at the time did not want the native irish to have any rights at all. It was the Westminster parliament that repeal all the anti-irish laws with great opposition from the ruling elite in Ireland.
I am very scared for my sanity as i go into watching this
I really thought for a second this was a bill wurtz video
As an Irish person, the trick is to never trust someone who likes the colour orange...
As a wee kid I was a part of the Orange marches due to family being involved and me being about 6. Now you could just say my favourite colour is green lol.
Please make this a series, this was funny af
I'm northen irish and I've never really been involved between nationalism and unionism, i was lucky, got good school, good home, good friends so seeing kids being pushed out to do these riots by their own neighbours is just so sad.
I'm born and raised in the republic and I can tell you I don't hate the north and I don't want the violence to escalate again
Dude wtf, I’m Irish and you explained that at the end better than I ever could lmao great job
no offense my man but he absolutely blew it at the end lmao everything was pretty deceent till he said the south and the north fought and that was the troubles lol
@@seanmckeown9910 ah sure he was just simplifying and mememing it for content at that point haha, I guess I mostly mean the video as a whole is a commendable effort for an American who knew nothing of it before hand
I think it's a bit bad out that the famine wasn't mentioned at all
@@svendinsvinderlin4569 true but I think he was looking specifically into the history as to why the north and republic are split, not a general history of Ireland, while Britain is involved in the story of the famine and why it had such an impact on Ireland, it isn’t explicitly connected to the split
@@benislazy9569 I mean.... The famine was a pretty decent part of why Ireland left the UK in the first place. Ludwig makes it sound like it's just petty national pride even though England basically committed genocide on our people.
Who woulda thought that Ludwig would be how I found out how the Union Jack was created
Me who lives in Northern Ireland: I’m learning more than I did in school
LITERALLY SAME LMAO
You guys didn't learn this in school? We were forced to study this boring stuff.
If I were forced to learn about irish history rather than the American government I would have gone to school every single day
honestly, one of your best videos, absolutely love the format
I'm so glad I woke up to this love from ireland 🇮🇪
I was expecting a wholesome and FeelsGoodMan video about the incredible journey of the subathon - but I'm also down for a history lesson
what on earth...this title tells me nothing but im into it
In the hall of the mountain king is such a great price of music to invoke escalation of events. Something I've always appreciated about ludwig's content is his ability to not just incorporate music but to do it in a way that felt almost movie like.
I love being scottish with many NI friends watching an americans perspective of this history, amazing also so funny seeing the vague edit after watching it live
As an irishman I love the energy she brought to the table but also I don't think Scotland was just brought along in Brexit, I think there was a vote that ended up being really close
The ending really shows the true potencial of ludwig’s story telling
Ludxplaining is the greatest thing ever
as an irish person, this was really good grasp of our history from an outsider's perspective, however i think it is important to mention that the british did more than just occupy ireland and try spread their religion by just breeding lmao, oliver cromwell and more essentially tried to commit genocide and slaughtered thousands of people, including women and children just for the hell of it, there was also the penal laws that were incredibly oppressive and horrific and resulted in many irish people being tortured and executed just for something like speaking irish instead of english. the trauma the atrocities the british committed to my people and country caused still have an impact on our society today. we werent just fighting for independence so we could practice religion, it was because the british treated us as sub-human. we weren't even allowed to vote for a very long time. i know this video is lighthearted and stuff and theres no way for you to know everything so this isn't a hate comment or anything! just wanted to let you know the more gory details that are often left out when a brit is telling the story.
It looks so easy for ludwig to absorb information and spit it back into simpler words. It's so fun to watch too. This would make a great recurring segment if he finds enough streamer friends that are from different areas of the world!!
now we need entire history of ludwig, i guess
Luds face when minx started on her roll was hilarious.
Ludwig: posts a video about why Ireland is Ireland
Me: clicks instantly
As someone who has lived in Northern Ireland all my life, you've done a pretty good job Lud. However, little bit of clarification, the 20th century fighting - the Troubles - was mainly Catholics Vs Protestants in NORTHERN Ireland, not between the Republic and NI. Now because of a funeral, Brexit, the Irish language act and a few other factors, it's looking awfully like the troubles might start up again in NI, rather than just NI joining the Republic
My last semester I had a "British civilisation from its creation to Brexit" course and yet I feel like I've learned more in this video than in those months
I remember him doing this intro and saying "All I need is one take." during a Mang0 Friday
"Why is there an Ireland, and a Northern Ireland?"
ludwigYikes
As an irish man I'm delighted with the depth of knowledge you gained from this Lud. Now you just have to visit 😁
I’ve been watching for a year and a half and I don’t usually comment but I just wanna say that speech at the end with the music was god tier talented. So glad to see you finally get the views you deserve.
this is actually so amazing. ive never had so much fun watching history until it was with Ludwig. please do more of these
If Lud is having a breakdown with Ireland's history, he would just explode just hearing about the brazilian history LOL
2:38 "Short but sweet" - every girlfriend Lud's ever had
I sped to this cause I’m Irish and thought something was happening
I'm really bad at identifying accents, what accent does the narrator have?
Is it Irish? Was this a dumb question to ask?
natch it's Scottish
@@nat2057 I actually don’t think so telling by the comments, they’re all talking about the title being random? If that helps
@natch it's a northern Irish accent
Ireland have so many emigrants in America that half of all US presidents have irish heritage
This is got to be my favorite Ludwig video. I also like how youtube thought that this was HoI4.
Anyone else think he was gonna switch it up and do a bill wurtz style video? no? just me?
Would've been neat :(
Yup a bill Wurtz styled video would have been so fucking good..... This piece of crap is ... Not good
@@altsum1509 watch bill wurtz then
@@maximhoste3269 Already did, bill Wurtz is not a channel it's a way of life
@@altsum1509 ok but dont be mad at Ludwig for not making a bill wurtz style video
Never in my 25 years of living in Ireland have I heard of people having the same opinion as Minx. I’ve met so many people from Northern Ireland and all of them have considered themselves Irish. Calling them fake Irish is so stupid. Think she represented Ireland badly in this
I think Minx was playing it up for jokes
But that is her content. Minx will say whatever if she feels its funny. Especially if its funny in a rude way...
Minx''s character, for how close is to her actual personality, is meant to look and sound like a mouth-loose angry Irish person so yeah its supposed to sound excessively over the top
@@zoinks7014 Well most of the younger population in the North will call themselves Irish. Like the only reason why the North are still apart of the UK is due to the boomers. I think it’s like 50% of the North that wants to unify, but those stats could be off
dude she never called them fake irish, and loooads of irish want the north back and hate the brits still
Ludwig: I need to learn more about Oliver Cromwell
Me, who learnt about Cromwell in History a few weeks ago: I am 4 parallel universes ahead of you
11:01
just want to add that the reason Sinn Féin won the majority of seats was because most people were shocked at the British reaction after the Rising in executing all the leaders and arresting thousands of men suspected of being involved. Most civilians didn’t agree with what the rebels were doing during the rising (they were even spat at on the streets) but they became sympathetic towards them after the British reaction.
I took a class on the Irish Literary Revival movement in the 20th century last semester (I’m an American who happens to really like Ireland). It was fascinating. As far as I know, one thing that this video glosses over is how the British basically annihilated Irish’s gaelic culture, to the point that its language is progressively dying. When Minx says she wants her country back, it’s probably because it’s hard to miss the fact that hardly anyone natively speaks the Irish language and so on. You look at something like James Joyce’s short story “The Dead,” and you realize just how depressing that fact is, that there’s just this massive history of the Gaelic Irish people that’s slowly fading away as time passes.
I highly recommend anyone interested in Irish culture to look at Old Irish mythology and it’s various cycles of legends (we focused mostly on Fionn mac Cumhaill’s Fenian Cycle and the Ulster Cycle). It can be super confusing, but it’s fascinating to see just how rich this seemingly forgotten mythology is.
Time to get taught more than my school does
Imagine not getting a sub during the entire subathon
No need to imagine
:/
Jack: didn't know shit
Minx: patriotic as fucked
RT: just wants them all to get along
minx also doesnt know shit lol
Minx and RT wanted the same hing Unification, Jack couldn't be arsed.
@@seanmckeown9910 She was right
@@seanmckeown9910 She's pretty right.
Truly one of my favorite videos on TH-cam.
fun fact Irelands flag is based off the French flag because Thomas Francis Meagher said fuck it that flags cool and the colors on the flag all have a meaning green is for Irish independence orange represents protestant British unionists and white represents peace and purity and this is pretty much all I can remember from history Ireland has a pretty boring history its mainly just famine, invasion, famine, revolution and now were here today but its always nice to see someone try learn Irish history even though its really fucked and confusing
And they didn't realize until much later that they mirrored the flag of the ivory coast
@@the_peak true we did do that
From an Irish man your a top lad Ludwig
