Finally, we got the Vietnam war portrayed in the OverSimplified style. It may not be from the original channel, but it was long overdue and this is honestly good enough.
Let's just accept that Oversimplified is gone now. He has a main job (I think it was computer coding or something related) and a family now. TH-cam is the side project from this point onwards. The amount of time spent on TH-cam and research vs his actual job is insignificant.
@@Labyrinth6000 You have to put into account that videos like these take extensive research. It also takes time to animate and make a script that includes most of the material from the subject that is being talked about in the video. It has been a while since he has posted but you just need to remember the process and time it takes to make a video about history especially history that has tons of information and important events.
@@RoyalProd23 look I get it but its not like he is doing 20 videos a year, burnout is not an excuse here, at least 1 video in 2023 would have been fine, the only reason i see him not uploading at least once is something in his life happened and there is sadness
@@toggle2565true but mostly likely procrastinating and stuff like that also wanting to be correct as possible or just is a side job put no matter what it is always fun to see him post a video even if it takes a year cause there ain’t no one like him (besides this guy)
Well, Vietnam War is a very complicated topic and from the look of things, Oversimplified values quality over quantity so can't say I blame him for not making the video soon enough.
Why not? Their videos are insanely good. You can't make an accurate video about a period in history without doing a lot of research so I fully understand the time it takes for them to upload.@@merucrypoison296
I am a Vietnamese living in Vietnam. The war between Vietnam and America made both sides sacrifice a lot. It is a mistake of the past that we must not forget. Because it is a lesson for both sides. Let's look forward to the future and develop together for a world where everyone has the right to live freely. equality and happiness Vietnamese people have risen from the ashes. We appreciate every moment of living in peace. Vietnamese people love peace but if any threat comes from outside Otherwise, the entire Vietnamese nation will stand up and unite to expel the enemy. And no matter how strong or big China is, Vietnam is not afraid. If China attacks or invades Vietnam, even if the Vietnamese people die, they will still fight and will not submit. The last person. When all Vietnamese people die, then China will win. Ask all Vietnamese people if they are afraid of China and you will understand.And I just want to say I respect soldiers, they only follow orders and they only want to serve their country and their homeland, so don't blame them. Message from a 28-year-old man
Vietnam, China, and US should be allies. I am American, but socialist. We need to have peace and negotiate. What is the point we are fighting for?.The focus should be to improving the status and life of people not fighting about islands.
@@fluffybunny1200 bro.No, Vietnam will never be an ally with China. That alliance, whether it be America or Russia, is ten thousand times better than China. China has been trying to annex Vietnam for thousands of years. Vietnam only interacts with China for economic reasons because Vietnam is too dependent on China. But that reason is not enough for Vietnam to fear China. Do you understand that when a nation has lost faith, they will never forget? America attacked Vietnam, but they have corrected their mistakes and overcome the consequences. As for China, they will never stop dreaming of annexing Vietnam thousands of years ago
China isn't going to invade Vietnam, its cheaper for them to buy whatever things your country exports than going to war. China helped you in your war vs France, Japan and USA, and now helping VIetnam develop with foreign investments. They aren't the bad guy here.
@@SilverforceX It's true that Vietnam is in dire need of China's economic support for export. But Vietnam has also seen the problem of not being too dependent on China. So Vietnam wants America to help with the export route. and needs support from European countries. Vietnam will have many opportunities to not be constrained anymore. Although both countries are communist. But the two countries are completely different. Do you think Vietnam would be much more comfortable and open? and willingness to integrate always pleases those who come. Just don't have a gun, you're not missing anything. No one stops or monitors you. You can speak your political arguments freely. As for China, you should try it. China is not good. If they were good, they wouldn't be so greedy to annex the entire East Sea. vs all countries in Asia. Facing them now is probably only the Vietnamese people
@@SilverforceX China is claiming the entire South China Sea, a sea that Vietnam should also be able to take recourses from. I’m not Vietnamese but I wouldn’t be friends with a country that does that.
I love to see lots of Oversimplified-inspired history channels emerging these past few years. I know there have been some channels doing the animated history years before Oversimplified became viral, but now, I think these channels get the right charm (and humor) to gain and grow its followers. Keep up the great work!
its kinda funny how oversimplifid said in their cold war video the vietnam war would come soon after it(something like that) and people waited years only to see someone else who has oversimplified style does it instead Kudos to you creator
My grandfather was a Morrocan Goumier that fought on the side of the French during the French-Indochina wars. You really explained the subject well even though it was heavily simplified. And i also like the Oversimplified animation style, keep up the work 👍
a minor correction, the ally's occupation to disarm the Japanese was divided between the Chang"s Army (Republic of China) north of the 16th parallel not the 17th, and the Brit to the South. The reason why the French could retake Cochinchina that fast was because the Brits beat up Việt Minh(Democratic Republic of Việt Nam) first and forced them out of the cities. But to the North due to the Civil War in China and having some compromises from both Việt Minh(Democratic Republic of Việt Nam) and the French, they withdraw their 200.000 soldiers back to China to fight the Communists. Then the French got some Compromise from Việt Minh (Democratic Republic of Việt Nam), and they moved north to jointly administrate the Government. And Cochinchina was a lot smaller and do not include Annam(the Central part of the country)
I'm a brazillian and at the history class, I really loved how Vietnamese people stood up by their own against all the terrible things that happened in their country. I really love their history and how they were against any treat!
Initially, I had my doubts, but hey, I really like this guy's content! the name sounds wholesome, and he uploads more often than Oversimplified! I also like that there is an increase in quality after every video! Cheers and keep going :D edit: Forgot to mention, even though he started with th Oversimplified style, he's also evolving his own style, which is cool tbh!
Amazing stuff man, I think all history enthusiasts on TH-cam would enjoy more uploads like yours, even Oversimplified; keep up the great work and keep bringing the great mix of comedy and real history that you adapted from and made unique in your own way! ❤🔥
Can we please have a final extra video over the Sino-Vietnamese war. It’s shorter and more easy to explain but definitely underrated and it would be lovely to have it explained in Oversimplified style
Seriously, I'm a Vietnamese, and I learn about this stuff in the curriculum, but this video taught me more than all the stuff I learnt about the war through 2 years COMBINED.
Finally, after a long wait, we finally have full, however unofficial Vietnam War Oversimplified. Even though it's fan made, the quality is practically the same.
This guy is better than oversimplified in my opinion because his videos are just as good{ if not better} and he uploads relatively every few months instead of every few years.
My guy… People have lived you do know that, right? Oversimplified doesn't need to be forced to make a video every 1 week just because your bored ass can't find something else to watch 😐
Okay? Oversimplified takes months and years to make good content this one is a bit rushed for animation but still has a better lore which makes this guy upload more while Oversimplified takes time and effort and has better animations and humours
As Vietnamese, This is the most historically accurate video made by a foreigner that I have ever seen. Until now, people still believe that the Vietnamese army is only guerrillas holding AK guns. Vietnam had such a large number of weapons such as tanks, artillery and missiles that it caused concern for the security of Southeast Asia at that time.
@@redrocket604Guess what? They were literally all FARMERS😅 For sure, we appreciated the support and aid from the Soviet Union, China, Iraq, Cuba, etc. The people at that time believed that Vietnamese people would have their own independence.
I got like really excited when I saw the thumbnail but got really put down when I realized it wasn't oversimplified, but then got really excited again when I just watched it.
Great video, glad to see an Oversimplified-style take on the Vietnam War or as it is known in our country: "The War against American Aggression". A few facts and corrections on the video. 1. Nguyen Sinh Cung went to the Treaty of Versailes under the alias of Nguyen Ai Quoc ("Ai Quoc" means Patriot in Vietnamese), which was a collective pen name of a group of independence activists. Nguyen Sinh Cung later adopted the name and became the new face of independence activism through that. 2. Nguyen Sinh Cung, now Nguyen Ai Quoc, co-founded the Communist Party of Vietnam by uniting smaller parties in different parts of Vietnam. The founders met in Hongkong under the guise of playing mahjong. 3. Nguyen Ai Quoc was actually ousted by the CPV later on because they viewed him as "too nationalistic" as he advocates for independence first and foremost, disregarding class warfare. Tran Phu, a young communist, basically replaced him by declaring his own manifesto which focused more on class warfare and put workers as the main force for revolution. Under General Secretary Tran Phu, the CPV attempted an early revolution called "The Soviet Nghe - Tinh Uprising" which ended in a disaster and killed most of the "first generation" of communists. Their death also allowed for Nguyen Ai Quoc to return from exile in the Soviet Union. 4. The picture used for "Emperor Bao Dai" is actually of Ngo Dinh Diem, a prominent court official who became the Prime Minister of the State of Vietnam then President of the Republic of Vietnam by ousting Bao Dai in a rigged referendum. 5. During the 300-day free travel period, the Americans organized a propaganda program target at Christians in the North, telling them that the communists would kill them all. This leads to a huge exodus of Northern Christians to the Republic of Vietnam. A huge wave of refugees means problem and by doing this, the US basically begin one of the key dominos that led to the downfall of the First Republic. 6. The first Constitution of Vietnam, the 1946 Constitution, is considered the "most democratic" constitution Vietnam ever has with no emphasis on the role of the CPV. However, due to distrust and infighting, the first unity government collapsed and comes a more powerful CPV who rewrite the constitution to be more communist. 7. Later into the 1960s, Nguyen Ai Quoc (now Ho Chi Minh) was sidelined by the more hardliner faction of the CPV led by Le Duan and Ngo Duc Tho (yes, the one who rejected the Noble Peace Prize). Ho Chi Minh became effectively a figurehead for unity. Ho Chi Minh and his protege, Vo Nguyen Giap (the architect behind the Dien Bien Phu victory), actually favored rebuilding the North to become a beacon of socialism and from then, convince the South to reunite. Le Duan and the hardliners wanted none of that and preferred a war which led to the escalation. 8. Allegedly, in his last year of life, Ho Chi Minh wanted to set aside the war and re-visit the South (where he began his trip to study in France) for the last time before he died. The hardliners refused the request either to protect him or to prevent giving influence to the growing anti-war movement in both the North and the South (more prominent in the latter).
Also I cant express how much I love the fact that you give us true history, unlike oversimplified, who is way too biased, and makes certain nations warcrimes sound like games and fun. Wish you all the best, you have all my support.
Bros on cocaine, drugs, meth, and all of the above Bro hasn’t seen his WW2 video where he expresses the bravery of resistance movements Bro hasn’t seen the American Civil War video where he details how brutal slavery was Bro didn’t see his Cold War video where he exclaims how many wars there were in the Third World Bro hasn’t seen his WW1 video where he details how brutal trench warfare was Bro hasn’t seen his French Revolution video where he details the Reign of Terror and all the executions This comment has so many things wrong/misunderstood that I can’t help but laugh at it
@@Randomdude112 Why should I insult my intelligence, by arguing with a tiktok addict who doesnt know that meth and coke are drugs? Dropping down to your level, would be frustrating, as people like you dont believe the US is supplying the fascists, spearing nazis, and using your taxpayer money to replace democratically elected socialist leaning governments, and replace them with genocidal dictatorships, while stealing that nations natural resources. Faced with the evidence, your tiktoker mind can only think of "I AIN READIN ALLAT🍆🍆💦💦🤡🤡💀💀🗿🗿"
You are honestly as good or maybe even a bit better than oversimplified in my opinion. You should do a video on the 7 years war, I think it would be interesting to see.
I love love love the video style. You should still put that it is oversimplified inspired like your first video for people who don’t understand the context and the credit is there.
Thank god! Oversimplified completely forgot about the Vietnam War video that he said he is going to make in the future, but he is too busy doing the Punic Wars and other stuffs.
Hello there, great video and very informative. It’s just when you say “Bao Dai” which is the last emperor of the Nguyen Dynasty in Vietnam, you have a picture of the first President of the Republic of Vietnam Ngo Dinh Diem instead of Bao Dai. Also the French occupied Laos and Cambodia as well as French Indochina. Overall awesome work 👏 thank you for sharing the video.😊 Looking forward to seeing the next.👍🏻
Great job on the video! The Vietnam war is a topic I love seeing discussed, and wish was taught more in depth in US schools (but if we talked in-depth about each country we messed with after WWII, it'd be a multi-year class...)
The US ignoring all those requests from Ho Chi Minh was one of the biggest mistakes we've ever made. Had that not happened, or 10, 000 other stupid mistakes, I might not have had to go to my dad's funeral when I was 9.
Bro I'm just letting you know, I'm your biggest fan, I started watching when German Revolution came out. Your the best oversimplified inspired channel. The Voice, the Cartoons, Humor make it good.

Great video, glad to see an Oversimplified-style take on the Vietnam War or as it is known in our country: "The War against American Aggression". A few facts and corrections on the video.
1. Nguyen Sinh Cung went to the Treaty of Versailes under the alias of Nguyen Ai Quoc ("Ai Quoc" means Patriot in Vietnamese), which was a collective pen name of a group of independence activists. Nguyen Sinh Cung later adopted the name and became the new face of independence activism through that.
2. Nguyen Sinh Cung, now Nguyen Ai Quoc, co-founded the Communist Party of Vietnam by uniting smaller parties in different parts of Vietnam. The founders met in Hongkong under the guise of playing mahjong.
3. Nguyen Ai Quoc was actually ousted by the CPV later on because they viewed him as "too nationalistic" as he advocates for independence first and foremost, disregarding class warfare. Tran Phu, a young communist, basically replaced him by declaring his own manifesto which focused more on class warfare and put workers as the main force for revolution. Under General Secretary Tran Phu, the CPV attempted an early revolution called "The Soviet Nghe - Tinh Uprising" which ended in a disaster and killed most of the "first generation" of communists. Their death also allowed for Nguyen Ai Quoc to return from exile in the Soviet Union.
4. The picture used for "Emperor Bao Dai" is actually of Ngo Dinh Diem, a prominent court official who became the Prime Minister of the State of Vietnam then President of the Republic of Vietnam by ousting Bao Dai in a rigged referendum.
5. During the 300-day free travel period, the Americans organized a propaganda program target at Christians in the North, telling them that the communists would kill them all. This leads to a huge exodus of Northern Christians to the Republic of Vietnam. A huge wave of refugees means problem and by doing this, the US basically begin one of the key dominos that led to the downfall of the First Republic.
6. The first Constitution of Vietnam, the 1946 Constitution, is considered the "most democratic" constitution Vietnam ever has with no emphasis on the role of the CPV. However, due to distrust and infighting, the first unity government collapsed and comes a more powerful CPV who rewrite the constitution to be more communist.

The hardliners refused the request either to protect him or to prevent giving influence to the growing anti-war movement in both the North and the South (more prominent in the latter).
and yes, if you notice the trend, Ho Chi Minh had a lot of aliases

@@Randomdude112 Why should I insult my intelligence, by arguing with a tiktok addict who doesnt know that meth and coke are drugs?
Dropping down to your level, would be frustrating, as people like you dont believe the US is supplying the fascists, spearing nazis, and using your taxpayer money to replace democratically elected socialist leaning governments, and replace them with genocidal dictatorships, while stealing that nations natural resources. Faced with the evidence, your tiktoker mind can only think of
"I AIN READIN ALLAT🍆🍆💦💦🤡🤡💀💀🗿🗿"
Oversimplified but it isn't western propaganda. Respect 🔥
The hell are you talking about
"choose a dictator" - men i just can't 😂😂
Vietnamese Oversimplified is something I didn't know I needed 😃
Thank you and much appreciation on a great new video “Son of Oversimplified!”
I'll call him Oversimplifiedn't
I saw this on my TH-cam feed I swear I thought this was an Oversimplified video.
I love your video! Your like a new Oversimplified but you cover original things. Keep up the great work! Good job.
As soon as I looked at the thumbnail I said :oVERSIMPLIFIED IS BACK!!
Bravo! Love your stuff. I’d say your 90% there to matching oversimplified’s quality
No way i got jebaitet, thought it was oversimplified. Still happy its someone who took over his job
Finally a Vietnam war video, Love this!
Learnt more from this than my history teacher...
You are honestly as good or maybe even a bit better than oversimplified in my opinion. You should do a video on the 7 years war, I think it would be interesting to see.
and this enraged Oversimplified, who punished him severely
I love love love the video style. You should still put that it is oversimplified inspired like your first video for people who don’t understand the context and the credit is there.
Thank god! Oversimplified completely forgot about the Vietnam War video that he said he is going to make in the future, but he is too busy doing the Punic Wars and other stuffs.
Bro did it bc he was tired of waiting on Oversimplified to do it lmao
It began with material analysis & not liberal aesthetics about "muh freedoms." Respect! I'm subbed.
Wow this was absolutely incredible. Keep up the great work, and I cant wait to watch your next vid :D
If oversimplified don’t implode I know where I can get information from my history test🎉🎉🎉🎉
Hello there, great video and very informative. It’s just when you say “Bao Dai” which is the last emperor of the Nguyen Dynasty in Vietnam, you have a picture of the first President of the Republic of Vietnam Ngo Dinh Diem instead of Bao Dai. Also the French occupied Laos and Cambodia as well as French Indochina. Overall awesome work 👏 thank you for sharing the video.😊 Looking forward to seeing the next.👍🏻
Great job on the video! The Vietnam war is a topic I love seeing discussed, and wish was taught more in depth in US schools (but if we talked in-depth about each country we messed with after WWII, it'd be a multi-year class...)
Keep it up with the series bro
Can’t wait for part two
Yoooo
dude i saw the top half of the thumbnail and got hella excited
Still no contact from oversimplifyed sir...
Pending video
Vietnam war
Video about Carthage war part 2
Nearly as good as oversimplified
And that’s good
That ain’t oversimplified that’s under complicated 💀
No hate I just wanted to make a stupid joke
“You sonova bee, I’m in” should be a trademark or something
At 5:23, u pick the wrong image of Bao Dai, that's Ngo Dinh Diem, the puppet president of RVN.
Bro bring the definition of "fine, I'll do it myself" to the next level
Bro really said " HE DIDNT MAKE IT SO I WILL!! " ( this was really good )
I love the content, but could you make your style less derivative? This is clearly “inspired” (stolen) from oversimplified.
That’s the whole point, it’s like a budget oversimplified for the year period we wait for oversimplified. Stop being an ass and just watch the videos.
we finally got the vietnam war video that oversimplified promised years ago
0:10 Why is France animated mirror way, while Vietnam is in normal way?
France is facing Vietnam
Bro legit lifted oversimplified's entire style. And to think, illuminaughtii got salty over a single out-the-box editing feature.
This isn't oversimplified, but it is one of the Things I Care About
My favorite youtuber! Undersimplified
The US ignoring all those requests from Ho Chi Minh was one of the biggest mistakes we've ever made. Had that not happened, or 10, 000 other stupid mistakes, I might not have had to go to my dad's funeral when I was 9.
I NEARLY SPIT MY FOOD WHEN I SAW THAT THUMBNAIL
Oversimplified vibes here and I like it
Things I Care About and History with Seb were like pre-shows to an upcoming Oversimplified video
Proffessor Terry sent me here ^^ you have great content my dude
thank you!
Oversimplifided really changed since the last video
Bro I'm just letting you know, I'm your biggest fan, I started watching when German Revolution came out. Your the best oversimplified inspired channel. The Voice, the Cartoons, Humor make it good.
Thank you for the kind words!
@@ThingsICareAbout are you french?
Imagine Oversimplified is making a video about this and saw this. Great video by the way.
