Another way to define it would be an excessive love of self -- raised to a sociopathic level. A megalomaniac thinks that he/she is greater/more intelligent/more capable, etc., than most or all other human beings. Therefore, he or she will have gross overconfidence and rarely will question or reverse their own ideas, beliefs or decisions.
I do like the "Oversimplified" videos, as they give a good framework of what was going on and how the situation developed, in an easily memorable way. Once you have that overview, you can drill down into specific events that interest you. If history had been taught this way in school, it would have been far more interesting and students would have learned a lot more. The only thing is that they do go through so fast that it takes several views to catch all the details (particularly for those like you whose first language is not English), but it is very much worthwhile.
Oversimplified is really well done. You can always go and research in depth the points he make. He does talk really fast. Even for us English as first language people. Because they are short it’s easy to go back and rewatch, which I often times do.
When I was in school they didn't really teach about the war. They mostly covered the Holocaust and the Nuremberg trials and a survivor of the holocaust came in and told his story. But the war itself they didn't really teach about it. But my grandma was in the navy in ww2 so she kind of made it a point to learn about the time
The reason he shows Churchill holding up his fingers like that is because of a famous photo. Churchill was trying to make a V for "victory", but accidentally held his hand up backwards, and his staff had to tell him that was street slang for "Up your ass". He thought it was a hilarious mistake, because he wanted to tell the Germans that anyway.
8:27 in what I think is the greatest political blunder in history, upon returning to London, Chamberlain held up a copy of the treaty hitler signed and exclaimed “this document has secured peace in our time!” 8:47 while it is true that many Ethiopians fought the Italians with spears and arrows, many others still had actual guns. For a while they gave Mussolini a run for his money, but they won after the nazis gave them some kind of logistical support. Haile Selassie, emperor of Ethiopia, pled his nation’s case before the League of Nations, arguing that hitler was the true mastermind behind all of this and soon he would come for them as well. The Emperor’s warning fell on deaf ears.

Meglomaniac is just someone with huge egotistical delusions, such as of conquering everywhere, like Hitler and Napoleon. One thing I looked at recently was the Stalin-Hitler pact. In Russia I read it's taught as Stalin delaying Hitler. While in the West he's just seen as being deceived.
China was a mess for a long time before the 1930s by at least 100 years. "Oversimplified" is right. The simplified it so much some parts aren't very accurate, or are deceptive. The Allies, for example, had very strong motivations for not starting another war. In many ways WW1 was far more traumatic & damaging than WW2; something easily forgotten today. Stalin tried very hard to work with the Allies to contain Hitler, but he became convinced that they were going to let Germany attack Russia first, so he decided two can play at that game. He made a secret pact with Germany, which pretty much made WW2 inevitable, although there were several other times it could have been prevented fairly easily. I guess that's why they wrote the "Oversimplified" series. I have to give props to Dasha for historical curiosity. Not many people really care about history these days.
Russia (USSR) was there in the beginning btw. Invading Poland with Germany and having joint tank parades. No bid deal lol. It is one of the aspects of ww2 history that was not taught in Russian schools.
Oversimplified did so many amazing videos--easy to understand with the animated maps, and funny to not make it boring to watch. They also did WW1, the American revolution & American civil war--look at this if you're interested. Have a nice day.

Heya. I enjoyed your reaction. You don't need to apologize for focusing on the video. There is a lot of information just thrown at you, and he also speak very fast. Pause or replay if you feel you didnt get it all. I really enjoy these videos, he makes history very enjoyable and fun to learn. This is how it should be done in school also I think. If you are interested in a very good and long story (5 parts total), I highly recommend "Admiral Yi" from the channel "Extra Credits". He's one of, if not the greatest of Korean war heroes. Very funny and interesting story =) I hope you have a great end of the week
I dont get all these guys on youtube i watched the history of the world and i didn't feel "bUrNeD" TH-cam reactors are usually stupid. This shit is easy asg
It's also dependant on the nationality of the one producing the video. For example, British views on WW2 differ from that of Japan, Germans view differ from that of Russians, etc. Even though we can look at history for events, not every culture covers all aspects of the war or their involvement in it.
One thing that doesn’t get talked about is the US and Britain were never truly allied with the Soviet Union, they just had a common enemy in Germany. From the time of the Bolshevik revolution there was a fear it would spread to the west. So the appeasement of Germany was to keep Germany happy and send them to fight the Soviet Union, keeping Germany as a buffer between the west and the Soviet Union. But Hitler signed the non aggression pact with the Soviet Union which basically destroyed any plans the west had. There was also reluctance on the US part for any significant Russian involvement in the pacific theater, the fear being whatever territory they took, they’d keep after the war as in Europe. The mistrust went so deep Churchill was drawing up plans to attack the Soviet front lines after the war ended in Europe in Operation Unthinkable.
An Honest question. In Russian schools, did they teach that Russia originally allied with Germany, until they realized that Hitler was planning to attack them?
Some good Russian history ones History of Russia by epic history TV (This includes images like portraits) Catherine the Great by extra credits (cartoon, funny in parts) Both of these are slower than Oversimplified.
I really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really wish you would consider reacting to a movie about Russia in WW2 called Battle for Sevastopol. I really think you would like it.
What I've never quite understood is how Britain and France declared war on Germany for invading Poland, but didn't declare war on the Soviet Union for doing the same thing...🤔
A few things. Technically, the Soviets argued that they had not invaded Poland, merely taken custody of Polish lands from Germany after Germany had more or less dissolved the Polish government. This is bullshit of course, but the alternative is trying fight Russia and the Axis simultaneously, so.... yeah. The second thing is that the British and French had specifically guaranteed Poland against German aggression, as Hitler had demonstrated dangerous expansionist and revanchist ideas and a complete refusal to abide by treaties. The Soviet Union after the Winter War was a bit of a laughingstock and many did not believe they were the primary threat to world peace.
Dasha, my russian friend, you are so beautiful and graceful. I hope you are doing fine there, I'm loving your entertaining reactions. Greetings from Brazil! ♥
After this two part series, I recommend th-cam.com/video/HmUZgCGCO8Y/w-d-xo.html (Short - fully Russian oriented) th-cam.com/video/DwKPFT-RioU/w-d-xo.html (compares death toll - especially in WW2 and shows how high Russian death toll was)
Remember the German people were desperate and starving, with most of the German industry and economy destroyed by the Treaty of Versailles, which falsely blamed Germany for starting WW1, when actually it was Russia (or Serbia, depending on your interpretation of the relationship between Austria and Serbia at the time). The deliberate destruction of the German economy was one of the major causes of the Great Depression.
Nazism is not Fascism!, there are similarities, but the Nazis based their (Left wing) policies on racial superiority & Anti Semitism. The Nazis looked down on Fascists, especially once Hitler become more dominant in Europe than Mussolini. The Fascists didn't really persecute the Jews before the war, or much during the war. Mussolini even had a Jewish mistress for 10 years before WW2. The myth seems to originate from the Spanish civil war, where Fascist Italy was the main foreign Nationalist Ally, against the Socialists, backed by Soviet Russia. Russia then labelled everyone it was fighting against 'Fascist'. Essentially, left wing Nazism & Fascism, fought left wing Soviets/Communists.
The Nazis were fascists. Calling them "left wing" is a hilarious lie, especially when you're comparing them against the Italians, whose fascist movement literally began as a(n extremely nationalistic and authoritarian) socialist one and who were far more hostile to big business than the Nazis ever were. Seriously, the word privatization was coined to describe the German policy of selling off any state industry not essential to their war machine, and even then they vastly preferred symbiotic arrangements with corporations over direct control.
@@TheAngryXenite Thank you for your reply. The Nazis would see themselves as Nazis, not Fascists. Only Nazis included a racial policy in their agenda. Nazis are left wing due to how they handled the economy, viewed monarchy & their social system. It's even in their name. If they are not Left Wing, what are they? They're not right wing, & cannot be. Fascists don't have the racial policy of Nazis, at all. The Germans took over all the industries they could, to control them & the economy. Hitler wanted to create 'Autarky' (self sufficiency) & to do this, he needed control, which also helps stamp out opposition. I'd recommend viewing TIK's youtube videos on WW2 etc on this subject.
@@eze8970 Tik is, I'm sorry to say, full of shit. Autarky is not a leftist idea. Republicanism is not a leftist idea. The Nazis handled the economy by essentially selling it off to massive consortiums which collaborated with the government for mutual gain, which is corporatism, a fascist idea. There is this common idea that the Nazis attempted to institute some sort of command economy, with the syndicates little more than servants to the party, but there is no evidence of this. The various corporations in Germany did not comply due to coercion, but because there was simply a lot of money to be made when the regime openly promises to assist you in crushing workers movements, grant you special privileges, and allow you to crush small business in the name of keeping the war machine running. As for calling themselves the National Socialist German Workers Party? That's a deliberate choice to appeal to as many people as possible. It's the 1920s German equivalent of someone in America declaring the "Democratic Republican Conservative Labor Party," it's a nonsensical name that's meant to attract all kinds of people. And as for the racial policies being unfascist, Mussolini never really made up his mind on that. Some days he would declare racism to be an affront to fascism by weakening a civic nationalist ideal, other days he'd use racialized rhetoric to stir up hatred against blacks and Slavs. But the important thing here is that the ethnonationalism of the Germans is not antithetical to the fascist ideology, but a particular form of it. While Fascismo (which I will use to refer to specifically the brand of fascism practiced in Italy) upheld the nation-state as the player in the perpetual struggle of peoples to secure dominance, Germany held up the race as that player, with nation-states developed to rule and organize them. Germany was not traditionally right-wing, this is correct. But the left and right wing dichotomy is simplistic and flawed. That's why fascist nations were typically referred to as third-positionists, as they claimed to offer an alternative route to modernity than socialism or liberalism. People like Tik are blinded by their own ideological biases and seek to lump their opposition into one monolithic enemy that stands against their own beliefs (Tik, being a right libertarian/ancap, is likely conflating Nazism and fascism with Communism due to both being statist and collectivistic).
@@TheAngryXenite Thank you for your reply. Autarky/self sufficiency - is desired in all political systems, it's how it's implemented by that Government that defines it. Hitler's way was massive Government/State control & intervention, which is a left wing method. Republicanism - Various forms available, you could have left , middle, or right wing. NSDAP - I'm sure there was a decision to make it sound popular, but it did apply these core beliefs. The part about racial superiority & subsequent actions wasn't promoted so much until Hitler's power base became secure. Hitler didn't want a class system, & never trusted the remaining aristocracy, which was a big issue for him, as a lot of the senior German Army were. In the armed forces, the old class system was discarded. Hitler 'worked with' (bought off) Industry, Army & Church officials, but that was just political convenience for him, he was still establishing state (i.e his) control. I'm sure Mussolini did use racial propaganda when it suited him (i.e when he was about to invade somewhere), but there wasn't the element where he said Italians are better than everyone else, or the completely planned control (& later systematic extermination) of a particular race or religion. Despite conflict, I've not heard that the Italians denigrated the Greeks for being Greek. There was far too much classical respect & history from the Italians for that. Mussolini was far more worldly wise than Hitler, he'd travelled more to other countries, & had been a statesman for far longer. He had seen how other countries ran themselves, economy & their politics. Hitler had only a very limited, landlocked view of the world & economies, & his viewpoint was shaped by pre WW1 German territorial ambitions, & the German collapse in 1918. Hitler never got over this. Fascist Italy kept it's King & aristocracy, Hitler made sure the Kaiser was never coming back, & was trying to remove the class system. Fascist Italy's economy never collapsed like Germany's did just before WW2. It wasn't necessarily a good economy, but it kept going, & traded with the world, unlike Germany. I'll agree though that it still hadn't had to incorporate the military expansion of Germany's. To be fair, Hitler's idea of the extermination of the Jews idea evolved over time, originally it was to remove them from society to a place they could be controlled. Once the war started, the areas he wanted them to be taken to, were unavailable to him. He still saw them though as a class/race that was a threat to the world. Most political systems get lumped together. Due to the sheer number of them, fractions & splinter groups, the main points are just aligned. Franco gets lumped into the 'Fascist' camp, as he was fighting socialists etc, but he wasn't a Fascist.
Love your stuff. Watch you all the time. I would love you to watch the Edward Snowden Joe rogan podcast and react to it. It wouldn't be easy to do but would love to hear a Russian side of it. It's about the global government spying.
It’s stupid if people thought that Norwegian battles ended when British Forces abandoned Norway in the north. My city Norway happened to fight back the Germans themselves that was hitlers first loss
Megalomania means "power mad", wanting more power at the expense of everything else.

@@KSSKAYDEE That would better be described as having 'delusions of grandeur' or something. Thinking you're something so much greater than you are.

In Russian "Puppet starte" is called "Марионеточное государство".

Hitler never got over this.
Fascist Italy kept it's King & aristocracy, Hitler made sure the Kaiser was never coming back, & was trying to remove the class system.
Fascist Italy's economy never collapsed like Germany's did just before WW2. It wasn't necessarily a good economy, but it kept going, & traded with the world, unlike Germany. I'll agree though that it still hadn't had to incorporate the military expansion of Germany's.
To be fair, Hitler's idea of the extermination of the Jews idea evolved over time, originally it was to remove them from society to a place they could be controlled. Once the war started, the areas he wanted them to be taken to, were unavailable to him. He still saw them though as a class/race that was a threat to the world.
Most political systems get lumped together. Due to the sheer number of them, fractions & splinter groups, the main points are just aligned. Franco gets lumped into the 'Fascist' camp, as he was fighting socialists etc, but he wasn't a Fascist.

Love your stuff. Watch you all the time. I would love you to watch the Edward Snowden Joe rogan podcast and react to it. It wouldn't be easy to do but would love to hear a Russian side of it. It's about the global government spying.
I don't think much of oversimplified
OMG! you are gorgeous
you are a beautiful woman
It’s stupid if people thought that Norwegian battles ended when British Forces abandoned Norway in the north. My city Norway happened to fight back the Germans themselves that was hitlers first loss
damn .. it was really hard watching this .. I spent more time watching the young beauty instead! :)
You are beautiful
