I thinks it's a little weird when you apologize for stopping the video, as the commentary and deeper explanation is what we came for. Really like to get the refresh in my historical knowledge. Keep up the great work.
Most reaction channels are trash. They nod their head or chuckle and thats it, we are then watching a worse, small version or the video we care about. The more you add the better. Pausing the video and adding new information is idea. Please keep doing it.
He's being polite and considerate to his audience, and while we might think it's ok, or even better with the extra commentary, you have to appreciate how he takes everything into consideration.

Oversimplified: *produces a video that overly simplifies a topic* Mr. Terry History: *reacts to the video and basically un-simplified it* Oversimplified: am I a joke to you? Edit: I'm so upset that I didn't think about the "Dude, uncool" instead when I first wrote this comment... Edit 2: and no, I'm not changing it.
Discovered this channel just yesterday and i'm devouring all your reactions. So good to see someone actually educated about history watch these videos!
My hometown in Poland was on the border between Austria-Hungary and Russia, the entire place changed hands a lot of times. A forest right behind my house where I go for a walk whenever I’m back home is full of holes from explosives and makeshift trenches from WWI, I used to hide in these when I was a kid. Crazy to think that 100 years ago hundreds of people died there and the damage to the environment is still visible to this day.
In France we still have them too, we tend to these and give visitor a tour of the trenches in the mountains. We even have a small cemetary where Nazi SS officers where buried by thier comarades, with some bunkers around in the mountains. (Alsace-Lorraine) (Sounds improbable, but i was there, and it looked authentic to me)
i feel like in class but it's actually fun from someone who is passionate by history, i always felt like my history teachers never really show me stuff i didn't know already
Jean-philippe Lefebvre i feel the same way. history is one of thoss subjects in school that require a teacher to really put alot of time and energy into. most history classes in my high school were just memorizing events then a test. its sad more students are not passionate about history.
I think that one of the saddest things about this was that (if I remember correctly) Sir Hiram Stevens Maxim, the inventor of the Maxim machine gun, created the weapon as a sort of war deterrent. Apparently he figured that a gun so large, powerful, and fast-firing would basically scare people into rethinking why they were going to war.

“All Quiet on the Western Front“ (“Im Westen nichts Neues“) is a very good novel by Erich Maria Remarque (a german WW1 veteran) about the horrors about the war.
I know things don’t always translate perfectly and I don’t expect anyone to explain it (please do) but, it’s weird that whoever titled the English version went with “All quiet on the western front” when “Im Westen nichts neues” easily translates to “Nothing new in the west” If anything, I think “All Quiet-“ implies a break in the suffering rather than it being constant, inevitable, and hopeless.
Lol 13:40 "Ok, lemme go back here because you need to listen..." Mr. Terry going into full on teacher mode now...making sure his students are paying attention... Absolutely love your energy and clear passion for teaching history!!
As a Serbian I would like to make few corrections: 1. Group that assassinated Franz Ferdinand was called "Young Bosnia" they were made up of Serbs and Bosnians who were pro-Yugoslav nationalist their ideology was free and united south slavic nations in the balkans, they were supported and supplied from the Black Hand which was group from Serbia that made a coup in Serbia in 1903 and killed a king and brought in new dynasty and new king, they controlled half the Serbian government, but they were at odds with both the Serbian king and prime minister at the time. 2. As for the date of assassination 28-th of June, it is considered a holy day in Serbian history, as it is a day when battle of Kosovo happened in 1389, when Serbia fought huge battle against Turks. I don't want to go too much into it it's very complex topic, go check it out and "myth of kosovo" if you are interested, but its very important moment in Serbian history. 3. Considering the ultimatum: It had ten very hard demands, and Serbia accepted all of them except a demand for Austrian police and courts to work in Serbian territory arresting and putting on trial anyone they want.
And Wilhelm II, send a message to the Austrians to accept the deal. However instead of using a telegram, he used a courier. So the message didn't arrive on time.
Hi, suggestion there. Recently I watched a few series on Extra Credits channel and they were all great. Similar to Oversimplified, just with less humor but in greater detail. Those I saw and can recommend, so check one out and see for yourself: > Great Northern War - When Sweden Ruled the World - Extra History - #1 > Genghis Khan - Temüjin the Child - Extra History - #1 > Catherine the Great - Not Quite Catherine Yet - Extra History - #1
Seafox extra history do sometimes put narrative over history, they do address some (not all) of the stuff in the „lies“ episodes thou, but since he is a history teacher this should not be a problem so ... I second this I absolutely love the Justinian and Theodora series so i am gonna recommend that
The "blank cheque" was not truly blank. The Kaiser did not want war and it was largely his general staff that pushed for war as a means of expanding their own influence.
28:24 my great grandad was a machine gunner in WW1 before he was gassed and sent home, he used to tell my dad it was like shooting at the men coming out of the shipyards (he lived in Glasgow),you literally couldn’t miss, it was just pulling the trigger and sitting back. And if you aimed it was aiming just for aimings sake.
About the ultimatum, Extra Credits made a series on the events leading up to the first world War called "The Seminal Tragedy". In the first episode, they talk about the ultimatum and how Austria Hungary had a list of 10 demands. However the last demand was that Austro-Hungarian Police could investigate the murder. This was a demand that they could not accept as it was essentially them giving up their sovereignty. But their response was that they accepted all but the last demand. This tipped the international community in their support. (Their words, though altered a bit.)
A lot of people are asking you to look at Extra Credits videos, and they really are great especially for newcomers to the discipline. But they are subject to a lot and I mean a lot of criticism about inaccuracies, misrepresentations and just plain inept historical analysis. I would be mindful of that going in If I were you. Keep up the great work! This trend of "technical expert reacts to popular thing about their field" is one of the best things to happen on YT in a while.
@@qfuh8199 I disagree. Having an agenda means you are not trying to be neutral anymore, and thus twisting facts to suit your angle. This is bad if you are trying to give facts and historical recounts. History is history. It should be told as neutral as possible without personal feelings (if you wanna add personal feelings to it, you can, but you have to make it clear it is your opinion). I think extra credits showed their true colours in their terrible video analysis about how WWII games forces you to become a Nazi. That video was plastered with inaccuracies that contradicts scientific evidences and the agenda was so strong it was incredible. Which is all a shame. I used to like extra credits alot. They got me hooked with their take on the game Spec Ops: The Line.
@@johnlimzhiyue As I learned when studying history. You will never be objective in any of your works, but you should always strive to be as objective as possible. And to achieve this you have to tell the reader or listener where you comefrom, who you are, what made you research and write about your topic etc.. Extra history has an agenda to be objective, they try to be as much as possible, but they also tell you where they come from and who researched the topic in their team and so on. The episode about WWII games is a bad example, as it is not even a work of extra history it is a work of extra credits, their non history focused channel. there they focus on social problems, psychology and so forth. So saying Extra History sucks at being objective because of this particular video is pretty dishonest (I get the confusion since the labeling of videos gets confusing and they combined the channels) And usually they do a pretty goodjob in their "lies" series to go into further detail on controverse topics and or takes and explain why they went with the one they showed over maybe one with a broader appeal or longer aceptance. Always remember History as a science is ever changeing, just because a take is considered non mainstream today it does not mean that it is wrong or inaccurate.
Austria: Serbia u shot our boi Franz so we're technically gonna start a world war Everyone: (blames Germany for world war 1) Germany: Am I a joke to you?
@@arnold3768 Well, even more: both Auria and Hungary were reduced to small, insignificant countries. Austria lost Czechia and Galicia-Lodomeria. Hugary lost Transylvania, Slovakia, Croatia and Bukovina. Germany was the only country from Cental Powers that could be considered "power" after the war.
Ya, blame Germany for the war (mainly because first to use actually lethal gas, because the French sucked at it and instead made tear gas but that's a different story) while the Ottomans commit crimes like to tomorrow and the allies support, and go to war to support, state sanctioned terrorism :P. WW1 isn't the most intelligent time period in human history, it's a really cool, interesting time, but pretty much all intelligence went to war and nothing else. Personally (and as a Canadian) I blame the allies as the aggressors of WW1 and a big cause of WW2.
I visited Terezin, Czech Republic, where Gavilro Princip has held after he was arrested, and where he ended up dying from tuberculosis. I saw the cell where he was kept. The fortress was later turned into a concentration camp/ghetto during WWII
I have really wanted to visit the Czech Republic. I have met more than a few people from there in the states and all have been very friendly and have unique view points. Plus Prague looks like one of the most beautiful cities in the world. One day I will make it out there!
@Dalish02 a bit late, but I loved it. I especially loved the history when i visited Prague, and was pleased when the place was relatively cheap. 10/10 would visit again when I can
I'm so glad i found your channel! My stepfather was a major history buff ( he should have been a teacher!) and watching your videos helps me relive those cherished moments. He was always so aggravated thought with my history homework because it was very cliff notes,so he'd fill me in on what i missed. In turn, i would blow my teacher's mind with the stuff I knew LOL Thank you and keep up the good work!
19:39 Interestingly enough, the United States actually learned this lesson back in the US Civil War. A lot of that stuff went away as the war went on and the Union developed things like repeating rifles. For example, Picket's Charge was the death knell for the bayonet charge.
When they sent an ultimatum. Serbia agreed to all but 2 things. One was that Austro-Hungary would conduct an investigation on their land in order to find all the people behind it. And Serbia refused because it did not want anyone else to investigate its territory.
From U.K.: There was a surprising back story to this war, that few historians seem aware of. Just before the war, my maternal grandfather, then just a young teenager joined the Territorial Army. This was part time soldiering, they trained evenings and weekends. Like slightly older Boy Scouts, they spent Saturday nights camping and having a good time with the lads. In 1915 their unit (5th Battalion York & Lancs) was sent to France. The Battalion was to take part in many major battles, until in 1919 the surviving few were de-mobilised. Then having taken some time off to start families and return to their jobs, they reported back to the drill hall and re-enlisted in the Territorials! Our local museum is full of photos from the 1920s and 30s showing the lads out on exercise in the local countryside, with happy smiling faces! In 1939 these men, now senior NCOs were perfectly OK to return to France and do it all again! But this time without Granddad who had lost his sight. He was to spend the Blitz period, helping people home in the blackout and keeping sprits up with his jokes. He and those of his friends, I can remember, were lovely kind old gentlemen. It difficult to understand how they could have gone through that WW1 hell. But then to volunteer again, is just beyond my understanding.
I loved how they covered this war since it's kind of a cluster. And another huge advancement was aerial warfare. There were men going up in what was, essentially, canvas, wire, and wood biplanes, no radio or PARACHUTE, and they were typically the fuel tank was right below them, and they had to fight in the freezing air above europe
Thank you so much for this video, I really appreciate it and I had an essay with a title of 'Did 2 bullets cause 15 million deaths?' This video was very useful and helped me a lot. Thank you
As a Serb, I am very pleased with how you explain the situation as you go through the video. You really know your shit, and I'm grateful. Also one thing Oversimplified didn't mention is that, Novi Pazar (an area between Serbia and Montenegro, now a Serbian city) was occupied by Austria-Hungary until 1908 with the sole purpose of not letting Serbia and Montenegro share a border. Austria REALLY didn't want Montenegro to unite with Serbia and thus giving Serbs access to the Adriatic Sea. The Adriatic Sea was part of constant fighting between Italy and Austria, which is why in the London Conference of 1912, independent Albania was created and later occupied by a certain Benito Mussolini. Serbia and Montenegro had actually occupied the Albanian lands in the First Balkan War, but were forced out by Austria-Hungary under the threat of war (the war happened anyway so.... fuck it). Because of that lost territory Serbia betrayed their former ally Bulgaria and took Macedonia, land promised to Bulgaria in the first Balkan War. That was the start of the Second Balkan War, where Bulgaria basically got fucked by all sides; Greece, Serbia, Romania, Montenegro and Turkey. All of them (except Montenegro) took lands from Bulgaria, which was part of the reason Bulgaria entered WW1 on the side of the Central Powers. Now was what Serbia did unfair? Absolutely. I cannot make excuses for my country here. Still, it gives you an idea of how complicated all this shit really was.
There's a video called "In defence of Colombus" by Knowing Better, who challenges the pervasive mainstream negative narrative about Colombus, who he was and what we should think of him. It would be great if you could do a video reaction and hopefully offer your own insight into such a topic?
@Caffeinated Wizard He displays a lot of facts in that particular Columbus video, wanting people to look at what actually happened instead of what we've been told is a pretty tight agenda imo. Insufferable twat, maybe, agenda? Nah
@Caffeinated Wizard His gun control and feminism videos are informative tbh. What's your gripe with his ''agenda''? also, nice appeal to authority, but are you implying that people that write books you read on libraries don't have political views/agendas themselves? lmao
The assassination of the Archduke feels like one of those "Time traveler came back to ensure it would happen" type events. So many coincidences to take us down this road
You mentioned appalling casualty rates and honestly "appalling" barely covers it. For instance, the Battle of the Somme cost the British 40,000+ men on the FIRST DAY. The Battle continued for six more months.
pseudo nym 60 thousand on the first day. My great great uncle was 16 and he died on the first day. Apparently an artillery shell landed directly on him and his body parts went everywhere.
My province sent a regiment to fight in the war. It wasn't part of the CEF, as at that point we were still a British Crown Colony and hadn't confederated into Canada. The regiment "fought" in Gallipoli, but they had time to turn back before they suffered heavy casualties, unlike the Australians. The rest of the war they were in Northern France. On the first day of the Battle of the Somme, they were told to attack. However, since the artillery bombardment (which did nothing) started 20 minutes prior to the attack, the Germans were already ready for the battle, and the front 3 trenches were overflowing with dead bodies, so they had to attack from a support trench 800 metres behind the assault trench. They went over the top, and within 15 minutes, out of the 800 men, only 64 remained. About 300 died before getting to their own trench. A coincidence is that this happened on Canada Day, so in my province, July 1st is a day where everyone mourns the casualties on that day, but once the clock hits noon, people are on the streets waving Canadian flags and singing songs.
A small note: Part of the reason the assassins wanted to be rid of the Arch Duke is because... well, he was a moderate. They were scared that if he was allowed to live, he would change the political situation so much that it would remove all support for pushing for independence.
I would recommend extra history on the extra credits channel once you finish all the current videos oversimplified has made and I would start with extra histories first video and continue from there. They are very good. I enjoy them as much as oversimplified, if not more. I love all the extra input you can put into these reactions. You are my favorite reactor for these sorts of channels and I’ve watched about 4 or 5.
I recommend everyone researching the Winchester model 1897. This shotgun was used by Americans in WW1 and gained the nickname “Trench gun” or “Trench Sweeper” as it was the perfect weapon for trench combat especially with a bayonet attachment. This gun terrified the German’s so much, they tried to have the gun banned from the war (in vain)
22:20 There's a French poem called "Rosalie" which is basically all about how cool and awesome it is to spill your enemy's blood and guts with a bayonet.
I just realized you had NES, SNES and N64 Cartridges lined up behind you. You seem like a cool History Teacher my dude, my last History teacher i had before i graduated from High school was a gamer as well. Really chill guy.
Original Video: 6:23 minutes Reaction: 37:42 minutes After finishing the reaction and watching at the timeline of the original video i'm just thinking "what? I just watched a 38 min long video?!" Time: "Am i a joke to you?" It just confirmes the statement that time passes if you do/watch stuff you find intresting. Your pauses and explanaitons just nail it! We are here just for them. WIth this in mind, whenever you have something to say, just do it and don't think it would be too much pausing. Greetings from Germany . :)
My great-grandfather was actually one of those soldiers wearing that very skull mark shown in the photographs. They were called the "Husaren Regimente" (Regiments of Hussars) and while initially conceived as shock cavalry were later reorganized and in early WW1 mainly served as forward scouts, command guards or attached to infantry for trench warfare. Even later they made up most of the logistics division once mechanization took hold. Due to the change in tactics the army command never seemed to know what to do with them so their responsibilities sometimes changed on a weekly basis. Hence why my great-grandfather though serving in the Prussian military and initially trained in cavalry charge warfare during WW1 never actually saw any fighting or a trench for that matter and only rarely even rode a horse until the war was over. Naturally even his perspective of the glories of war were shattered when he saw the state in which the other soldiers returned from the front lines.
I love these videos and hope you never get bored of making them. Thank you for these. It's an excellent method to have a video that shows everything in broad strokes but has details pointed out :))) it makes learning very easy!
New sub here. I'm going to binge watch your whole library. I particularly enjoyed the additional knowledge you presented about the lead up to the assassination.
Gavrilo Princip died of Tuberculosis, he was already suffering from TB before he assassinated the Archduke, so seeing his days are already numbered because of the disease, he chose to do a risky thing for a cause that he believed in. Therefore TB was a factor that motivated him to assassinate Franz Ferdinand.
You missed a fact that Russia and France also allied to counterbalance the Central Powers.This status quo was an important political concept at the time.
I discovered your channel on the french revolution videos, I've been eating all your videos since :D Great channel, great content, subscribing. Keep it up you are awesome man :)
Darn you, Mr. Terry, giving me _homework._ 10:16 Okay, so now that I've read them, my take on your question at 10:39 is as follows: No, it doesn't appear so. Not to me, anyway. The demands *could* be met, but doing so would be arduous, humiliating, and above all require complete and total kowtowing subservience to the Austro-Hungarian Empire. I believe that is exactly what was intended. The next step would likely be annexation.
Princip was suffering (and dying) from tuberculosis at the time he assassinated the Archduke. So he already knew he was dead either way, whether the assassination attempt succeeded or not.
Never ever apologize for pausing the video. Your breakdowns and explanations make me feel like I'm in class again. History was and always will be my favorite subject, thank you for these videos :)
It is quite rare to find people who instead of only reacting adds a lot to thoses history videos.. im glad i found your channel.. most people when they react about world war just talk trash about french calling us coward .. it is really great To actually understand what happenned ... and that's why i love history.. hope you will make more videos like this, maybe about sabaton and the history behind the songs ..
From U.K. Europe had a long history of almost going to war. The term used is “Sabre Rattling”. Mobilisation was used as a threat, like fist shaking. But notification of mobilisation could only move as fast as a horse. Amies would then march to the boarder. This gave plenty of time for diplomats to exchange letters and calm things down. But in 1914, the order to mobilise was sent instantly by telephone. Armies would then march or board trucks to the nearest rail station. So almost immediately you had troops heading towards each other with a combined speed of 120mph. Shooting starting well before the diplomats could construct the first letter.
I'm studying to become a History teacher and I love when you tell us how you present some points to your students. It's really helpful and something that I may use in the future. Also, I'm from Quebec so I'll be teaching in french and I'm happy that your MAIN (hand in french) trick works in french too. I'll be borrowing that!
I’m insanely impressed how fast you Channel is growing! I think I was around you Seven thousandth subscribed and that was yesterday. Your already almost at 10K. Good job man and you deserve it
The thing I love the most about Mr Terrys channel is.. Its like being back in history class.. Every time a think about something to add.. He goes and says it in the next sentence
Yeah honestly life in Austria-Hungary in the late 1880s and earlier 1900s was a golden age. People didn’t mind living in the Empire and really ignored nationalist works against the Monarchy because of the more autonomy they were receiving and how long they’ve been apart of the empire... it was the country of art and history. Once the Empire annexed Bosnia Herzegovina (which was a again a newly freed country) it shot itself in the foot. If you think about it, that if Austria avoided Bosnia and the balkans as a whole... there would be no assassination (well that wouldn’t be really pinpointed on a serb), which would lead to even more equality among the Empire (the new king) and no World War(?). Hitler would still probably be failing in Vienna. The Croat - Serbian war wouldn’t happen. A lot of things could be way better if Franz Josef didn’t listen to Conrad.
This is really good stuff. I like how you explain what was going on in further detail.

Just a slight correction, the group that was doing the assassination was called Mlada Bosna aka Young Bosnia, they were a group of young people who were seeking to gain independence from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, after the assassination Austro-Hungary tried to link Young Bosnia with the Black Hand organisation in Serbia so they could have an excuse to start a war and to start the invasion of Serbia which was planned years ago but they didnt have a public reason to do that yet before 1914. Regarding the German stance on the war, German Empire was actually pushing Austro-Hungary to declare war (if you notice the dates of assassination and official start of war its a huge time gap unusual for such events) because German Empire thought that they were more ready for a huge scale war than France, Russia or UK, so in this situation it was the Germany that was pushing for war while the Austro-Hungary was unsure what to do. And yes the ultimatum was done in such manner so the Serbia would have no choice but to reject it which would give Austro-Hungary a public excuse to declare war.
I've read the ultimatum as you suggested. Right now I'm developping a small business simulation game about ww1 and ww2 where you're a "swiss" company selling cannons and later tanks so I've dig a lot about how things happened. And the most I look into it the most I'm starting to feel the war wasn't the cause of neighter germany or austria-hungary but that was used as a pretext by the allies to Reconquere some very old lands... As if they wanted to "get back what they lost during the crusades" in the Middle East.
When you talked about Russia being like an older brother to other slavic countries... That´s because of panslavism, which is an ideology to unite all slavic countries as one. This ideology persists to this day and some people are actively trying to make it happen... Also, this ideology got a huge middlefinger to the face when Russia "liberated" Czechia during WW2...people figured out that communists are a no go and it ended up with revolution
Ran into your channel bro and I’m a huge fan of history. Great to see you doing a video on one of my favorite youtubers ever. You go into depth and also you don’t have to apologize we’d prefer you to get detailed about this. You have yourself a new subscriber my man 👍🏻

“All Quiet on the Western Front“ (“Im Westen nichts Neues“) is a very good novel by Erich Maria Remarque (a german WW1 veteran) about the horrors about the war.
Its a book though, and isnt it in German?
@@Killerbee4712 There is definitely an english version.
I know things don’t always translate perfectly and I don’t expect anyone to explain it (please do) but, it’s weird that whoever titled the English version went with “All quiet on the western front” when “Im Westen nichts neues” easily translates to “Nothing new in the west”
If anything, I think “All Quiet-“ implies a break in the suffering rather than it being constant, inevitable, and hopeless.
@@joebobby1412 it's more or less the same meaning but "All's quiet" entails irrelevance more than tranquility

As a Serbian I would like to make few corrections:
1. Group that assassinated Franz Ferdinand was called "Young Bosnia" they were made up of Serbs and Bosnians who were pro-Yugoslav nationalist their ideology was free and united south slavic nations in the balkans, they were supported and supplied from the Black Hand which was group from Serbia that made a coup in Serbia in 1903 and killed a king and brought in new dynasty and new king, they controlled half the Serbian government, but they were at odds with both the Serbian king and prime minister at the time.
2. As for the date of assassination 28-th of June, it is considered a holy day in Serbian history, as it is a day when battle of Kosovo happened in 1389, when Serbia fought huge battle against Turks. I don't want to go too much into it it's very complex topic, go check it out and "myth of kosovo" if you are interested, but its very important moment in Serbian history.
3. Considering the ultimatum: It had ten very hard demands, and Serbia accepted all of them except a demand for Austrian police and courts to work in Serbian territory arresting and putting on trial anyone they want.
And Wilhelm II, send a message to the Austrians to accept the deal. However instead of using a telegram, he used a courier. So the message didn't arrive on time.
Thanks for the local perspective. 👍

Hi, suggestion there. Recently I watched a few series on Extra Credits channel and they were all great. Similar to Oversimplified, just with less humor but in greater detail. Those I saw and can recommend, so check one out and see for yourself:

And World War I: The Seminal Tragedy -- Extra History
Seafox extra history do sometimes put narrative over history, they do address some (not all) of the stuff in the „lies“ episodes thou, but since he is a history teacher this should not be a problem so ... I second this
I absolutely love the Justinian and Theodora series so i am gonna recommend that
Also extra credits on the start of WWI was really great and fitting after this Video
yes do it mr.terry
The series about Bismarck is also very good.
The "blank cheque" was not truly blank. The Kaiser did not want war and it was largely his general staff that pushed for war as a means of expanding their own influence.
Man if I had this guy as a teacher I'd have graduated
28:24 my great grandad was a machine gunner in WW1 before he was gassed and sent home, he used to tell my dad it was like shooting at the men coming out of the shipyards (he lived in Glasgow),you literally couldn’t miss, it was just pulling the trigger and sitting back. And if you aimed it was aiming just for aimings sake.
About the ultimatum, Extra Credits made a series on the events leading up to the first world War called "The Seminal Tragedy".
In the first episode, they talk about the ultimatum and how Austria Hungary had a list of 10 demands. However the last demand was that Austro-Hungarian Police could investigate the murder.
This was a demand that they could not accept as it was essentially them giving up their sovereignty.
But their response was that they accepted all but the last demand. This tipped the international community in their support.
(Their words, though altered a bit.)
French: *marches in to battle*
Germans: *readies the artillery* "the future is now old man"
A lot of people are asking you to look at Extra Credits videos, and they really are great especially for newcomers to the discipline. But they are subject to a lot and I mean a lot of criticism about inaccuracies, misrepresentations and just plain inept historical analysis. I would be mindful of that going in If I were you. Keep up the great work! This trend of "technical expert reacts to popular thing about their field" is one of the best things to happen on YT in a while.
@Caffeinated Wizard ur also a twat with an agenda. having an agenda is not a good reason to dislike someone.
@@qfuh8199 I disagree. Having an agenda means you are not trying to be neutral anymore, and thus twisting facts to suit your angle. This is bad if you are trying to give facts and historical recounts.
History is history. It should be told as neutral as possible without personal feelings (if you wanna add personal feelings to it, you can, but you have to make it clear it is your opinion).
I think extra credits showed their true colours in their terrible video analysis about how WWII games forces you to become a Nazi. That video was plastered with inaccuracies that contradicts scientific evidences and the agenda was so strong it was incredible.
Which is all a shame. I used to like extra credits alot. They got me hooked with their take on the game Spec Ops: The Line.
@@johnlimzhiyue As I learned when studying history. You will never be objective in any of your works, but you should always strive to be as objective as possible. And to achieve this you have to tell the reader or listener where you comefrom, who you are, what made you research and write about your topic etc..
Extra history has an agenda to be objective, they try to be as much as possible, but they also tell you where they come from and who researched the topic in their team and so on.
The episode about WWII games is a bad example, as it is not even a work of extra history it is a work of extra credits, their non history focused channel. there they focus on social problems, psychology and so forth.
So saying Extra History sucks at being objective because of this particular video is pretty dishonest (I get the confusion since the labeling of videos gets confusing and they combined the channels)
And usually they do a pretty goodjob in their "lies" series to go into further detail on controverse topics and or takes and explain why they went with the one they showed over maybe one with a broader appeal or longer aceptance. Always remember History as a science is ever changeing, just because a take is considered non mainstream today it does not mean that it is wrong or inaccurate.

Ya, blame Germany for the war (mainly because first to use actually lethal gas, because the French sucked at it and instead made tear gas but that's a different story) while the Ottomans commit crimes like to tomorrow and the allies support, and go to war to support, state sanctioned terrorism :P. WW1 isn't the most intelligent time period in human history, it's a really cool, interesting time, but pretty much all intelligence went to war and nothing else. Personally (and as a Canadian) I blame the allies as the aggressors of WW1 and a big cause of WW2.

19:39 Interestingly enough, the United States actually learned this lesson back in the US Civil War. A lot of that stuff went away as the war went on and the Union developed things like repeating rifles. For example, Picket's Charge was the death knell for the bayonet charge.
Holy crap, turned a 6 minute video into a 37 minute one. Literally the best history teacher I’ve ever seen
Fun fact: The king of the UK, the Kaiser of germany and the Tsar of Russia were all first cousins. All grandchildren of Queen Victoria
Austria did make the demands impossible on purpose because they wanted to make it look like they gave the Serbs a chance for peace
When they sent an ultimatum. Serbia agreed to all but 2 things. One was that Austro-Hungary would conduct an investigation on their land in order to find all the people behind it. And Serbia refused because it did not want anyone else to investigate its territory.
From U.K.: There was a surprising back story to this war, that few historians seem aware of. Just before the war, my maternal grandfather, then just a young teenager joined the Territorial Army. This was part time soldiering, they trained evenings and weekends. Like slightly older Boy Scouts, they spent Saturday nights camping and having a good time with the lads. In 1915 their unit (5th Battalion York & Lancs) was sent to France. The Battalion was to take part in many major battles, until in 1919 the surviving few were de-mobilised. Then having taken some time off to start families and return to their jobs, they reported back to the drill hall and re-enlisted in the Territorials! Our local museum is full of photos from the 1920s and 30s showing the lads out on exercise in the local countryside, with happy smiling faces! In 1939 these men, now senior NCOs were perfectly OK to return to France and do it all again! But this time without Granddad who had lost his sight. He was to spend the Blitz period, helping people home in the blackout and keeping sprits up with his jokes. He and those of his friends, I can remember, were lovely kind old gentlemen. It difficult to understand how they could have gone through that WW1 hell. But then to volunteer again, is just beyond my understanding.

I loved how they covered this war since it's kind of a cluster. And another huge advancement was aerial warfare. There were men going up in what was, essentially, canvas, wire, and wood biplanes, no radio or PARACHUTE, and they were typically the fuel tank was right below them, and they had to fight in the freezing air above europe
Thank you so much for this video, I really appreciate it and I had an essay with a title of 'Did 2 bullets cause 15 million deaths?' This video was very useful and helped me a lot.
Thank you
As a Serb, I am very pleased with how you explain the situation as you go through the video. You really know your shit, and I'm grateful.
Also one thing Oversimplified didn't mention is that, Novi Pazar (an area between Serbia and Montenegro, now a Serbian city) was occupied by Austria-Hungary until 1908 with the sole purpose of not letting Serbia and Montenegro share a border. Austria REALLY didn't want Montenegro to unite with Serbia and thus giving Serbs access to the Adriatic Sea. The Adriatic Sea was part of constant fighting between Italy and Austria, which is why in the London Conference of 1912, independent Albania was created and later occupied by a certain Benito Mussolini. Serbia and Montenegro had actually occupied the Albanian lands in the First Balkan War, but were forced out by Austria-Hungary under the threat of war (the war happened anyway so.... fuck it). Because of that lost territory Serbia betrayed their former ally Bulgaria and took Macedonia, land promised to Bulgaria in the first Balkan War. That was the start of the Second Balkan War, where Bulgaria basically got fucked by all sides; Greece, Serbia, Romania, Montenegro and Turkey. All of them (except Montenegro) took lands from Bulgaria, which was part of the reason Bulgaria entered WW1 on the side of the Central Powers. Now was what Serbia did unfair? Absolutely. I cannot make excuses for my country here. Still, it gives you an idea of how complicated all this shit really was.
There's a video called "In defence of Colombus" by Knowing Better, who challenges the pervasive mainstream negative narrative about Colombus, who he was and what we should think of him. It would be great if you could do a video reaction and hopefully offer your own insight into such a topic?
@Caffeinated Wizard Care to elaborate?
@Caffeinated Wizard He displays a lot of facts in that particular Columbus video, wanting people to look at what actually happened instead of what we've been told is a pretty tight agenda imo.
Insufferable twat, maybe, agenda? Nah

The assassination of the Archduke feels like one of those "Time traveler came back to ensure it would happen" type events. So many coincidences to take us down this road
Maybe preventing something worse? Or ensuring it? 🤔
You mentioned appalling casualty rates and honestly "appalling" barely covers it. For instance, the Battle of the Somme cost the British 40,000+ men on the FIRST DAY. The Battle continued for six more months.
pseudo nym 60 thousand on the first day. My great great uncle was 16 and he died on the first day. Apparently an artillery shell landed directly on him and his body parts went everywhere.
My province sent a regiment to fight in the war. It wasn't part of the CEF, as at that point we were still a British Crown Colony and hadn't confederated into Canada. The regiment "fought" in Gallipoli, but they had time to turn back before they suffered heavy casualties, unlike the Australians. The rest of the war they were in Northern France.
On the first day of the Battle of the Somme, they were told to attack. However, since the artillery bombardment (which did nothing) started 20 minutes prior to the attack, the Germans were already ready for the battle, and the front 3 trenches were overflowing with dead bodies, so they had to attack from a support trench 800 metres behind the assault trench.
They went over the top, and within 15 minutes, out of the 800 men, only 64 remained. About 300 died before getting to their own trench.
A coincidence is that this happened on Canada Day, so in my province, July 1st is a day where everyone mourns the casualties on that day, but once the clock hits noon, people are on the streets waving Canadian flags and singing songs.
A small note: Part of the reason the assassins wanted to be rid of the Arch Duke is because... well, he was a moderate. They were scared that if he was allowed to live, he would change the political situation so much that it would remove all support for pushing for independence.
I would recommend extra history on the extra credits channel once you finish all the current videos oversimplified has made and I would start with extra histories first video and continue from there. They are very good. I enjoy them as much as oversimplified, if not more.
I love all the extra input you can put into these reactions. You are my favorite reactor for these sorts of channels and I’ve watched about 4 or 5.
They talked very well about the July crisis you can really feel the tension between the nation one month prior to WWI
Yes
I recommend everyone researching the Winchester model 1897. This shotgun was used by Americans in WW1 and gained the nickname “Trench gun” or “Trench Sweeper” as it was the perfect weapon for trench combat especially with a bayonet attachment. This gun terrified the German’s so much, they tried to have the gun banned from the war (in vain)
Wow, he knows a *lot* about history. He should become, like, a history teacher or something.
I've been a fan of Oversimplified for awhile and I have to say I love your reactions and how you go deeper into the explanations. Thanks Mr. Terry
Black Hand sounds like an assassination group from fiction.

Greetings from Germany . :)
My great-grandfather was actually one of those soldiers wearing that very skull mark shown in the photographs. They were called the "Husaren Regimente" (Regiments of Hussars) and while initially conceived as shock cavalry were later reorganized and in early WW1 mainly served as forward scouts, command guards or attached to infantry for trench warfare. Even later they made up most of the logistics division once mechanization took hold. Due to the change in tactics the army command never seemed to know what to do with them so their responsibilities sometimes changed on a weekly basis. Hence why my great-grandfather though serving in the Prussian military and initially trained in cavalry charge warfare during WW1 never actually saw any fighting or a trench for that matter and only rarely even rode a horse until the war was over. Naturally even his perspective of the glories of war were shattered when he saw the state in which the other soldiers returned from the front lines.
Dude, you NEED to watch the Seminal Tragedy WW1 of Extra Credits, they literally talk in more detail of some things you explained. PLS
I love these videos and hope you never get bored of making them. Thank you for these. It's an excellent method to have a video that shows everything in broad strokes but has details pointed out :))) it makes learning very easy!

Hey it's.. like... Right now.
Holy shi**
New sub here. I'm going to binge watch your whole library. I particularly enjoyed the additional knowledge you presented about the lead up to the assassination.
Gavrilo Princip died of Tuberculosis, he was already suffering from TB before he assassinated the Archduke, so seeing his days are already numbered because of the disease, he chose to do a risky thing for a cause that he believed in. Therefore TB was a factor that motivated him to assassinate Franz Ferdinand.
You missed a fact that Russia and France also allied to counterbalance the Central Powers.This status quo was an important political concept at the time.
You are a history teacher, Terry. No need to apologise for stopping the video, I want to learn details.
I discovered your channel on the french revolution videos, I've been eating all your videos since :D
Great channel, great content, subscribing. Keep it up you are awesome man :)
Darn you, Mr. Terry, giving me _homework._ 10:16
Okay, so now that I've read them, my take on your question at 10:39 is as follows:
No, it doesn't appear so. Not to me, anyway. The demands *could* be met, but doing so would be arduous, humiliating, and above all require complete and total kowtowing subservience to the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
I believe that is exactly what was intended. The next step would likely be annexation.
A rector who actually reacts and ADDS to the Video reacted to! My hats off to you sir. You have a new sub!
Princip was suffering (and dying) from tuberculosis at the time he assassinated the Archduke. So he already knew he was dead either way, whether the assassination attempt succeeded or not.

From U.K. Europe had a long history of almost going to war. The term used is “Sabre Rattling”. Mobilisation was used as a threat, like fist shaking. But notification of mobilisation could only move as fast as a horse. Amies would then march to the boarder. This gave plenty of time for diplomats to exchange letters and calm things down. But in 1914, the order to mobilise was sent instantly by telephone. Armies would then march or board trucks to the nearest rail station. So almost immediately you had troops heading towards each other with a combined speed of 120mph. Shooting starting well before the diplomats could construct the first letter.

Jugoslavijo
one of the most informative videos i've seen about history.
Yeah honestly life in Austria-Hungary in the late 1880s and earlier 1900s was a golden age. People didn’t mind living in the Empire and really ignored nationalist works against the Monarchy because of the more autonomy they were receiving and how long they’ve been apart of the empire... it was the country of art and history. Once the Empire annexed Bosnia Herzegovina (which was a again a newly freed country) it shot itself in the foot.
If you think about it, that if Austria avoided Bosnia and the balkans as a whole... there would be no assassination (well that wouldn’t be really pinpointed on a serb), which would lead to even more equality among the Empire (the new king) and no World War(?). Hitler would still probably be failing in Vienna. The Croat - Serbian war wouldn’t happen. A lot of things could be way better if Franz Josef didn’t listen to Conrad.
Bosnia by itself wasn't very important, murder of Franz Ferdinand was just an excuse and not a reason for the world war.
This is really good stuff. I like how you explain what was going on in further detail.
Just a slight correction, the group that was doing the assassination was called Mlada Bosna aka Young Bosnia, they were a group of young people who were seeking to gain independence from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, after the assassination Austro-Hungary tried to link Young Bosnia with the Black Hand organisation in Serbia so they could have an excuse to start a war and to start the invasion of Serbia which was planned years ago but they didnt have a public reason to do that yet before 1914.
Regarding the German stance on the war, German Empire was actually pushing Austro-Hungary to declare war (if you notice the dates of assassination and official start of war its a huge time gap unusual for such events) because German Empire thought that they were more ready for a huge scale war than France, Russia or UK, so in this situation it was the Germany that was pushing for war while the Austro-Hungary was unsure what to do. And yes the ultimatum was done in such manner so the Serbia would have no choice but to reject it which would give Austro-Hungary a public excuse to declare war.
Why didn't I discover this channel when I was in school lol
Great work! I understood every explanation and was invested in your 'class' all the way.
Came here just to see what a teacher has to say about Serbia. And because his content is good as well.
I've read the ultimatum as you suggested. Right now I'm developping a small business simulation game about ww1 and ww2 where you're a "swiss" company selling cannons and later tanks so I've dig a lot about how things happened.
And the most I look into it the most I'm starting to feel the war wasn't the cause of neighter germany or austria-hungary but that was used as a pretext by the allies to Reconquere some very old lands... As if they wanted to "get back what they lost during the crusades" in the Middle East.
When you talked about Russia being like an older brother to other slavic countries... That´s because of panslavism, which is an ideology to unite all slavic countries as one. This ideology persists to this day and some people are actively trying to make it happen...
Also, this ideology got a huge middlefinger to the face when Russia "liberated" Czechia during WW2...people figured out that communists are a no go and it ended up with revolution
Don’t apologize for stopping your insights are what make these videos great
