#history #reaction
Thank you so much for highlighting my work, your kind words, and interesting additional commentary! I'd love to see what you have to add to some of my other videos!
Keep up the great work! You have a lot of devoted fans!
Why one comment let’s make it two
I find Lindsay's voice very soothing. She often explores the role of women in history in her videos, offering a perspective that's not usually seen
That's a good thing! We need more of that perspective.
@@VloggingThroughHistory If you're looking for more female creators to feature, I would recommend History's Forgotten People. They have a lot of biographies on queens and mistresses and how they influenced their SOs. They also feature men who are often overshadowed by more famous contemporaries, like Philip Marlowe or Elizabeth I's spymaster Walsingham
@@juliakovacs4885 Walsingham was not overshadowed. He is incredible well known by everyone who is familiar with Elizabethan history , his story incredible well documented since birth, his relationship with religion and how it impacts the man he becomes, his frustrations with Elizabeth and how they actually didn’t get along, his role in stopping several conspiracies, the Queen of Scots plot and his role in lobbying for her execution . There were more famous man at the time of course but that’s by design. If you are a famous spy in your day either you’re dead or terrible at your job, he wasn’t either, and today he is incredibly well known and it’s impossible to study the Elizabethan era and her reign without talking about him
Thank you!
@@VloggingThroughHistoryI am your biggest fan
Lindsay is so lovely I met her at a meet and greet in London before the coronation, I was sleeping in a tent outside Buckingham palace. She and her mum took me back to their hotel so I can freshen up then I took them to the mall to wait for the next day x
Hi Katherine! It was so nice to meet you at the coronation! 👑
Turning on notifications for VTH was the smartest thing I’ve ever done in my life. Period
Same
I have mine on but I still didn’t get notified 😪 Good thing I’m usually going through his content and found it anyway
@@samuelcroissant87712 If you didn't receive it on a mobile device, it may be blocked by the OS settings.
Right? In a lifetime of bad choices I can be proud of at least one 😂
27:32 It was not Denmark that Norway dissolved the union with it was Sweden just to be 100% precise here!
Did you know a 3 year old Norwegian princess became the first Queen of Scots?
A fact related to 18:40. Elizabeth II's cousin George Lascelles (later Lord Harwood) was a prisoner of war at Colditz Castle. He was considered very imporant as the nephew of King George VI (his sister's son) so wasn't executed immediately since they thought they could use him as bargaining tool.
When the war turned against Germany, Hitler did sign his death warrant - and of others at Colditz - but a general overseeing the prisoners of war refused to carry out the order since the war was, in his eyes, lost. Instead Lascelles was released to the Swiss.
You’re right about Wilhelm and Nicholas being more distantly related. They were 3rd cousins. They shared a 3rd great grandfather, Prussian King Friedrich Wilhelm III, who was on the Prussian throne during the Napoleonic Wars.
YES! I've been waiting for you to react to her, I'm a huge fan of both you and her! I appreciate that she takes the time to tell the stories of women in history and I love that you're speaking up for women in the history RUclipsr space!
Thank you!
Love Lindsey's videos ..she does trips with viewers too
Thanks! I'll soon be announcing a trip to Germany and Austria in May 2025!
Dude was on that gangster energy letting a crocodile loose in Queen Victoria’s office.
THE KING IS BACK🫡🫡
you dropped this->👑
I’m glad you’re finally reacting to her videos, they’re so informative. Between Lindsay, Useful Charts, and yourself, I‘ve learnt so much about history.
Thank you!
I‘m crying 😭. I’ve wanted you to react to her FOREVER.
Thank you!
@@LindsayHoliday Of course! I’m such a fan!
Lindsay does amazing work on her content. I’m also a patron on her Patreon.
Thank you so much for your support!
Lindsay also have done a playlist of every king and queen of England and a separate playlist for all the consorts xx
I follow Lindsey and she does a great job. She started this with “ the Grandchildren of Queen Victoria and Edward”. We all make bloopers. :)
As someone who has had interest in history of royals, im glad thst you made a video about this. Hope you complete the series
Love the way she talks and watch a lot of her historical content. Please do the other parts. You will enjoy them!
Thank you!
I loved this! I think more reactions to History Tea Time would be perfect! Always appreciate the videos Chris, love from TN.
Fantastic to see you reacting to Lindsay's work! I met her when she & her mother came over for the Coronation 2 years ago. I can definitely recommend you check out some more of her video series; The children of George III & the English Royal Castles & Palaces through time are particular favourites of mine.
Thank you! 😊
I absolutely love Lindsay! She’s the one who got me started on my fascination with royal history.
😊
The Daughters of King Christian IX of Denmark and the The Sons of King Christian IX of Denmark is also a very interesting story - same channel
The King of Norway - Haakon VII and the King of Denmark - Christian X - were brothers and were kings of their respective realms when Nazi Germany invaded both countries in 1940. This is why incidentally both Norway and Denmark - which were occupied for most of the war - became founding member-states of NATO in 1949.
Yay!! I love this channel. I’m glad you reacted to one of her videos.
Wooooo!! Lady Lindsay!!! I’ve been subbed to her channel for years; I love her content! Definitely looking forward to more History Tea Time vids in the future!
Thank you!
Its irony that Queen Victoria's children tore down the things that she helped build.
Yeah, and one could argue that she brought that on herself, at least a bit, due to her own lack of caring for her children.
Henry of Prussia really fits in with George V and Tsar Nicholas as the third lookalike.
Also slight nitpick, but it was George VI who was called Albert, not Edward VIII
Funnily enough they also had a younger brother called George, meaning that when Albert took the throne and changed his name, George V and Mary of Teck had two sons by the name of George.
Edit: I wrote Edward VII and Alexandra when I meant George V and Mary
Lindsey has SOOOO many videos that you would love, Chris. You should check them out, even if you don’t react to all of them.
I agree! The video about the queens of the Bible may pique your curiosity. Glad you are reviewing Lindsay! She’s amazing!
Thank you!
@amybooi9390 thank you!
@@LindsayHoliday my pleasure!
Ahhh!! I'm so glad you found Lindsay's channel!! Her content and historical knowledge are so great! Thanks for reacting!
Thank you!
My 2 favorite youtubers together🥳
Ahhh VTH reacting to History Tea Time!!!
I’ve been looking forward to this! Both of you have great channels and I am glad to see the crossover!
11:20 About the hemophilia: it originated with Victoria herself, probably because her father was 51 when she was born. There's a link between paternal age and hemophilia.
That's actually Nicholas II in the bowler hat in that group photo. George and Nicholas are often confused with each other.
And Alexandra (the czarina) is standing next to him.
@@casandraleff4462 Yep that is.
I love this channel, happy to see you start looking into it. Definitely looking forward to more reactions to her channel
Thank you!
I’d love to see VTH do a reaction to the video ‘know your allies: Britain’. It’s an informational video made by the war department to educate their troops on who they’re fighting with and against and it’s a really interesting insight into how 40’s America viewed Britain and in some ways how little Britain has changed and how much Britain has changed in other ways.
On the note of the Greek royal family, every king of Greece after 1863 until the definitive abolition of the monarchy in 1974 was a member of the Danish-German Glucksburg dynasty. This Royal house officially still rules Denmark and Norway and technically the UK under Charles III, through his father Prince Philip. So when people talk of a “Greek royal family,” it’s technically more Danish than ethnically Greek.
Yes but even that line was German. Christian IX was German. Both his parents were from Prussia.
Wilhelm II is actually not buried in a tomb, his coffin rests on a plinth in the private chapel at huis Doorn (the manor he bought for his own use in the Netherlands in exile) and, as per his own instructions and will only be buried, in Germany, when the monarchy has been restored there.
Lindsay is a great creator and her videos really help me with my studies
Thank you!
So glad you’ve found this channel! Please keep reacting to it!
I love this channel! I'm so glad you did a reaction to it ❤
Thank you!
There’s a video from a channel called Accented Cinema that details historical events that happened at the same time. They use historical movies to showcase some of these events. I think it’s a video you should watch as it goes a lot of East and West events that don’t get enough attention
So glad to see you reacting to Lindsay, hers are some of my RUclips favorites! Her backlog is filled with with stuff that’s right up your alley, very much an Anglophile like yourself
Highly recommend her First Ladies of the US series
Thank you!
I'm gonna share this historical fact since I feel not many know this. After a chaotic century in the kingdom of Abbisinya, Kassa Hailu managed to end all the chaos of the Era of Princes. In 1855 he took the throne and became emperor Tewodros ll. He pretty much started modernizing the country but was hated by the nobels because he took their money and gave it to the less fortunate. After a series of bad decisions he was defeated in the battle of Magdala in 1868. He sent his son and wife to England before taking his own life. His wife Tiruwork died en route in 1868. His son Alemayehu Tewodros made it and was brought to queen Victoria who grew fond of the boy. Alemayehu's life in England was a depressing one as he longed to return to his homeland. He died in 1879 at the age of 18. He's the only non British royal to be buried at the St George Chapel at Winsdor Castle.
The union dissolved was of course the one with Sweden, not Denmark. What a grave insult upon Bernadotte!
You and Lindsey are my favorite history channels!!! I can't wait for this!!!❤❤
Thank you!
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I'm not an Anglophile, but this was fascinating info. Especially, the part where after WW1, the royals were allowed to marry outsiders.
Please do parts two and three.
Also, the channel History Calling has an excellent video on the princes that Richard the third supposedly killed. It's another channel narrated by a women.
I like her channel a lot. She's always interesting and has a lovely speaking voice. She knows what she's talking about. I would love to see more!
Thank you!
Hello from Costa Rica! Man! I'm so addicted to your content right now. Here's something interesting I wanted to comment. Back in 1856 we fought and won a war against some filibusters from USA, and that war is kinda related to the American Civil War because this guy William Walker who was the ruler of Nicaragua, wanted to create a slave colony in Central America, and to that end invaded Costa Rica, but they were repulsed. This war was extended to 1857 and at one point this guy Walker invited PGT Beauregard to join him but Beauregard declined. Pretty Interesting story preceeding the Civil War.
This was good! Looking forward to parts 2 and 3.
The Royal families and most of the nobility are indeed related and one thing that is often overlooked is that it's the women who often tied them together. A ruler would keep his hier close to replace him, and usually his spares were his 2nd layer of support. It was the daughters who were sent out to marry and build bonds and connections. Treaties were often sealed by sending a daughter for marriage.
Daughters were iften viewed as disappointments, but the fact is that they were VERY important if you wanted to build your dynasty.
I am surprised you haven't already reacted to Lindsay's channel. There is so much good there, about royalty in general and British monarchy in particular.
She also have stories about the children of Victoria, but also generally Queens of the world, not to mention a multipart series about The First Ladies of America and the wives of the Fouding Fathers. And about the Queens of England, Holy Roman Emperors and much more 😀
Thank you!
Lindsay does a great job with her videos. She was one of the first history creators that I supported.
Thank you!
Oh i love this ladys videos i binged, watched them through the lockdowns in 2020
Thank you!
A female history creator you may enjoy is J. Draper. Their videos tend to be on the shorter side, so may not be right for your reactions. Bur really, really interesting.
I sub j draper, too! She's good!
Might as well take advantage of this and suggest VTH to react to a video made by DJ peach cobbler “Blue Jay was Wrong”. Where he highlights a mistake done by the titular Blue Jay. Blue Jay commented on the video of how he appreciated it, of how wrong he truly was. More importantly he brings up a very interesting point that most historians forget when it comes to ancient history, humanity.
Lindsay is great and is my go to when it comes to royals.
SO glad you watched Lindsey’s channel. Her series on the monarchs of England is excellent. Check it out. Thanks.
I love your reactions to Lindsey's little side notes.
Love History Tea Time, glad you are coving this channel
Thank you!
Really like Lindsay. In the first Downton Abbey movie the king and queen stay and they make it that the maid of Mary of Teck is the kleptomanaic and several things go missing and one of the Downton maids discovers it. Tellls her what if thanks to you people think Queen Mary is a kleptomanaic though in real life Mary was not her maid!
Love Lindsay's videos. I also watch Dr. Kat.
I was today years old when I find you watching history tea time
Oh, I know this channel! If memory serves she has an excellent series on all the Queens of England
This is a great channel. I have seen this video a couple times because I like it that much.
Wow, thanks!
They also organise trips... at some points you were actually both organising trips in your videos at the same time, it was funny.
Once I told my grandmother that Queen Victoria had 42 grandkids and she found it terrifying as, in her words, she can barely keep her sanity having 4 🤭
Lindsay has amazing videos, I highly recommend her channel!
I’m surprised you haven’t done a reaction to this channel
Waiting for part two🙏🏻😭
The Royal House of England should be named the House of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg. Prince Philip dropped the name of his father and used the name of his mother, which was anglicised to Mountbatten. The House of Windsor is now a cadet branch of the House of Oldenburg
The nerve damage is called Erb’s Palsy, I was 12 pounds 13 ounces when I was born, I have it as well, I cannot straighten my right arm, or lift it above my shoulder.
Wilhelm II may have also sustained partial brain damage during his difficult birth. For ten minutes his brain loss oxygen. It would explain his irrational behavior at times.
I've also read that if you didn't give Queen Mary the item when she was at the home, that she would write how much she admired the item(s) in the thank you notes she'd send to her hosts
One of my favorite channels reacting to one of my other favorite channels? Today is a great day!
Thank you!
I really enjoyed this video. I’d definitely watch reactions to the follow up videos.
I love Lindsay’s channel!
Thank you!
Allies are all for self determination unless you decide against them is a relatively true statement. In the case of Greece, it was self determination they were supporting. Constantine was known for regularly ignoring public sentiment.
He was notorious for heavily involving himself in politics, despite being the head of a constitutional monarchy. His decision to keep Greece out of the war was due to personal connections, and most greeks at the time considered it illegal, since Greece had signed a mutual defence treaty with Serbia.
He regularly batted heads with the greek Prime Minister, Eleftherios Venizelos. Venizelos won the 1916 election publicly promising Greece would join the war on the side of Serbia. When Constantine refused to sign the decision, Venizelos resigned and new elections were declared. He won again. The King ignored the outcome and refused to sign the decision again. Venizelos resigned a second time.
He then left Athens and went to Salonika, where he declared an open revolt against the king, and the birth of a new nation that would go to war against the Central Powers, and asked the Allies for support. It was only after the English and French blockaded and bombarded the port of Piraeus, thus starving Athens out, that Constantine agreed to abdicate in favour of Prince Alexander.
This is both absurd and enjoyable. I hope you go thru the next 2 segments
I would love to see parts 2 and 3
My great-grandmother had 19 children (18 made it to adulthood). 64 grandchildren in total
My mom was youngest of 13 children, so I'm one of 50 some grandchildren on her side of the family.
omg my fav history youtuber reacting my other favorite history youtuber, its like christmas
Thank you! 🎉
I watch all of Lindsay Holidays videos as soon as they
premier.
Thank you! That awesome!
Thank you, Chris, I enjoyed this, best wishes from Sussex, England
I feel like it's unfair to only mention Wilhelm II writing a letter of congratulations to the leader of Germany at the time, but not the several public and private condemnations he had for them.
4:33 I unironically considered Alexandrina as a name for my daughter for a hot second but, while beautiful, it just seemed like too much name to saddle her with.
Part 2 and 3 and then the great-greatchildren videos for tomorrow please 😆
Arthur Zimmerman gets a lot of flak for sending the worse email of all time but he is also responsible for approving sending Lenin to Russia. So he had his ups and downs. Unfortunately, history has only remembered his telegram and not the role he played in knocking Russia out of the war.
Finally! I have been waiting for the time that you might react to some of Lindsay's videos. I love both of you guys' channels. You should watch the series she has on King Christian VIIII descendants as well.
Thank you!
Oooohhhh, I can't wait for the other ones as well. I really enjoyed Episode 1.
Not only is Prince Philip a blood relative of Tsarina Alexandra Feodorovna but he was also a blood relative of Tsar Nicholas II. Prince Philip’s father Andrew was the brother of King Constantine I of Greece and their father George I of Greece was the brother of Queen Alexandra and Maria Feodorovna (Dagmar of Denmark) so this meant that Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip shared both Queen Victoria and Christian IX of Denmark as Gt Grandparents 😮
Mary of Teck did like to put people in the position of handing high end things over to her but many of those things had been taken from the various Royal dwellings ( supposedly). If so she was just recovering stolen goods.
There is a story of Mary of Teck being a magpie when is came to Jewelry. As many of the monarchies were collapsing in Europe she would send people out to buy the jewels, but she wouldn't pay for them instead she would insist that the people "donate" or give them to the Royal Collection. She would then breakup the jewelry and have new pieces made and claim them for herself.
Frederick III. didn't became emperor after german unification though. Frederick's father Wilhelm I. ruled until 1888 and was then only briefly followed by Frederick (who died of throat cancer only a few months after); after that came Wilhelm II. Thus, 1888 is known as the "Year of the three Emperors".
King Christian IX of Denmark is interesting just like Victoria. They came to their thrones at around the same time and, I believe were born in the same year. Both were unlikely heirs to the throne. There is a series Called 'The Father-In-Law of Europe' where his descendants tell their family stories and the ones they know about from diaries and letters, and even childhood memories. Queen Margarethe of Denmark (since abdicated in favor of her son) is featured in many of the episodes as are her sisters Princess Benedikte of Denmark and Queen Anne Marie of Greece. King Constantine of Greece tells of his deposition, King Haarkon of Norway his family story etc. Most of Christian's children married into Victoria's family in one way or the other. I highly recommend the series, although the first episode appears to be missing some audio, perhaps 5 mins total. But the stories and the charm of these individuals is amazing. They know the family intimately. The first two episodes center around Christian's daughter Alexandra who would become Queen of England when she married Edward VII, and her sister who would become Tzarina of Russia. I'm not sure if it would be suitable for a reaction, but they are available on RUclips.
I met a Mennonite or Amish man here in Missouri who said he had 86 grandchildren "...so far."
If you haven't already, can you make a video about how boss King George the sixth was🤓
Finland ditching its German king wasn't just due to Germany losing WW1, though that was certainly part of it. Finland had just had a civil war between the political Left and the political Right, and the Right had won. In the aftermath, there was a power struggle within the winning side between a moderate conciliatory faction and a hardline faction. The hardline faction went for establishing a monarchy, and not just a figurehead monarchy but one with real power as a safeguard against the Left gaining power through winning parliamentary elections. By the time Germany lost the war, the moderate faction had gained the upper hand, in part because the undemocratic actions of the hardliners were hindering efforts to get international recognition for Finnish independence, which at the time was less than a year old and recognized by few. The combination of the shift towards political moderation along with a German monarch being geopolitically disadvantageous contributed together to burying Finnish monarchism for good.
There was a documentary series on PBS like 15 years ago about this very subject. I believe it was called the Grandmama of Europe
Love Lindsay's videos ... But, I'm anxiously waiting for you to review Extra History's series on the invasion of Province of Quebec by the continental army and the following one on Benedict Arnold !!
These videos are great! Waiting for Pt.3
I recommend watching The Operations Room's video called "Battle of Leyte Gulf - Complete Animated Documentary".
Super detailed.
