I love how Oversimplified always shows unrest as someone kicking a garbage can over
somebody should do a compilation lol
Or some random explosion because someone fell over
Funfact: In Austria there was a Demonstration a few years ago and one guy was suit for reerect a garbage can during the the Demonstration.
Boy Marx is right on the mark about late stage capitalism. Can you say 6th mass Extinction? Also due to a few large media Empires controlling our formerly free press the Military Industrial Complex need never worry about being raked over the coals like the Pentagon Papers or Snowden, Assange or Steven Donzinger who is the Hans Linton of our time. Again
There's a rather famous clip of an Antifa knocking over a garbage can that this could be a reference to. I'll see if I can find it.
The best thing to do is watching the original video first then come back to see this.
I was studying for a chemistry test, guess my studies will have to wait
I watched the video right as it came out xD
Spitfire Gaming yes. Because, watching the original is just laughing 😂, with mr Terry we learn more
I went back here to this channel until it uploaded
Yeah! He doubled the time of the original :D
We’re in the minority. What do we do?
Lenin: Name our party, the Majority.
Ah yes its big brain time
ikr
started a long standing tradition of the "BIG LIE" for communist and socialists the world over. Cultural revolution, big leap forward, pravda, the democratic republic of Korea...
They were the majority,Idk how the American historians come up with this bs
@@rhoninwindrunner7575 do you speak Russian? Because the "video's" translation matches what a Russian speaking ex-soviet citizen told me in college 25 years ago. so unless the Russian language has changed completely in the last 20 years you need to stop using google translate.
@@rhoninwindrunner7575 ah, so it's a pun? As in Bolshevik meant "Majority/big idea" where as Menshevik meant "Minority/small idea"? That's actually rather cute/clever.
All of Russian history can be summarized in 5 words: "And then it got worse."
As well as "Warm water."
RLL
Sort of copied comment from another completely random video. In other word= It'S fInE
"And then it got cold."
Kinda as if "The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles"
"The Russian revolution. The thing all fhe history hipsters love to talk about, but very few actually know about it."
Holy crap Mr. Terry dropping straight poetic facts out here.
And they're facts
Genuinely, the only thing I look forward to more than an Oversimplified video is a Mr Terry Oversimplified video. OS lays the groundwork and Mr T fleshes it out. Perfect combo!
Combo breaker!!!
I pity the fool (sorry I had to you called him Mr. T)
Me :"YO , MR T , hit me up!"
Mr T :"BITCH , you're lucky you're endeering..."
From what Other animations show I think it’s just he can’t be done justice because the drawing style is too simple
Let's be honest, as soon as Oversimplified released his video we were waiting for the reaction
Yeah.. but I get it.. Mr Terry doesn't want to steal views even by accident.
Yup
Yep

One of my favorite quotes has always been "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable" and it consistently comes true throughout history.
For me, looking back, the lesson has become that 'the guys who carry out violent revolution are entirely unsuited to governing the state they create'.
@joshuamarvin7400 George Washington and the founding fathers would seem like an excellent counter point to that. Just saying I know this was like 2 years ago so... sorry
@@trevorbirkbeck4011Wouldn't they technically count towards it since Britain in this case was the one who made peaceful revolution impossible, forcing them to make it violent?
@@trevorbirkbeck4011The founding fathers didn't begin with violence. They used protest until the Boston Massacre, after that they chose a war. They knew how to influence people through peaceful means and how to win battles, Lenin just bounced in at the right time.
My history teacher in my sophomore year world history class equated the Russo-Japanese war as a varsity team (Japan) going against the freshmen team (Russia).
Edit: ok so I'm seeing the replies, and thank you to everyone for the correction. It's been awhile since i heard the analogy so I got mixed up on it.
I don't think that's very accurate. It would imply that the Japanese had experience and prestige on their side, which they didn't. The Japanese war machine had yet to be tested against another large and relatively modern military power, and both sides were testing their capabilities. A more fair analogy would be like Russia being a WW1 era biplane vs Japan being a WW2 fighter plane.
@@youtoob4life Yeah, but a Sophmore class isn't really gonna get that analogy, because they don't A: Understand planes that much, and B: the analogy is suppost to help them understand it by equating it to something they know and understand, now, the correct form of the analogy would be Russia being a varsity team and Japan being the freshman team, because it would be just as shocking to see a freshman team beat a more experienced varsity team as it was to see a major European power like Russia being beaten by a "tiny" (according to Europeans) island nation that's only recently modernized.
Wouldn’t it be more accurate if was the (Japan) seniors varsity team going up against the freshmen (freshmen)? Or would freshmen need to be replaced with sophomores?
I would say no. No one thought Japan would win, this was the start of their Imperial era.
It's actually the reverse
Most of react videos are just stupid, just seeing the guy on the video laughing and doing exaggerated facial expressions. But Mr.Terry, you are best. You give extra information, opinions and some interesting stuff. You make actual content.
Best reaction channel ever exists
This is what reaction videos are supposed to be
I’m not gonna lie they got us in the first half
Normal reactions are only like “WOW That’s SO crazy” “OMG I didn’t know that!”
At the end of the video: “I really liked the video, I learned So much. Bye!”
Boring, unlike mr terry.
Or they just ask dumb questions that where answered in the video.
To bad Mr.Terry just does history he be great with almost every topic.
Just like vlogging through history
The show is 90 days fiancée (I might have messed up the title)
By the way, I’m happy to see people tackle Russian history as a Russian and a history buff.
My grandmother is a history teacher herself and she had a lot of choice words about Nicholas II for being a weak ruler.
Fun fact: Witte was actually granted the title of a count after the peace treaty with Japan and since, according to the treaty, half of the island of Sakhalin was given to Japan while the other half was Russian territory, Witte’s enemies mockingly dubbed him Polusakhalinsky(Half- Sakhalin) to parody beautiful surnames granted to nobles by the monarch.
Your subscriber,
Anastasia
So is the lower half of Sakhalin also included in the unsigned peace treaty between Russia and Japan over the Kuril Islands during WW2?
I couldn’t find anything that either confirmed or denied it.
@@moonman5880 Actually I don’t know that either. Maybe it was.

@@michelle9445 no but my family has this as an inside joke because my sister is Maria 😂
@@anastasiap6253 it is true when ceasefire was called rusland occupied the area

Hey man, sorry I'm late. But I actually subscribed for not just Oversimplified, but as a fan of History as a whole. You remind me A LOT about my own high school teacher back in the day. Who inspired me to major in world history and helped me become who I am today. So I subbed for that reason, and that reason alone. Please don't think we or at least me specifically only subbed to you for Oversimplified content. It's more than that. Keep up the good work sir.
99% of the reason I am on youtube is waiting for oversimplified to drop a new video and then waiting for Mr. Terry to react to it. We’re here. Today’s a great day.

And how insular was Russia to not have seen how Japan kicked China’s ass back in 1894 and 1895?
David W. They probably just thought China was a week Asian state and that japan was just the same, probably assumed that it was a war of equally weak Asian countries because Europeans were kinda racist

Or knowing that Aspirin is a blood _thinner_
the deal with rasputin and hemophilia was hinted at about him taking the child off of aspirin as that makes hemophilia far worse.

“The beatings will continue until morale improves.”
Me: *makes peaceful petition for Mr. Terry to react to Oversimplified*
Mr. Terry: "A peaceful petition? I better get out of here!"
Man "Ugly girly girl beard" is a FANTASTIC insult and I will now forever be on the lookout for the opportunity to use it.
the book "Five Sisters: Women Against the Tsar" has journal writings of Russian women who were politically active during the time of the tzars including Vera Figner one of Alexander II assassins is a great and relativly easy to accessible primary sources from the era leading to the fall of the tzars
I have that book and it's fantastic. It really gave me insights into the times decades before the Russian Revolution, and these women who came from different levels of society who were committed to challenging the power of the Tsars.
Why is it that no one uses punctuation anymore? Most seem to think that punctuation marks are just for making emojis.
I think Mr Terry should react to horrible history, it's a British children's show that's more factually true then the history channel. Not to mention how funny it is and the great songs they make to teach history. It's where I personally learned a lot of my history too.
That was my childhood m8, wake up Saturday at 7 am to watch horrible history
A) i never noticed the Waldo

When he said at the start about the comments I really though we were in trouble for saying something bad😅 teacher vibes
I was afraid he was going to say his video got demonetized or copyright struck
firin' lightning games ya but other youtubers I’m like bruh but for him it feels like when someone does a bad thing in the class 😂
I'm a very simple man. I see a new Oversimplified video - I watch a new Oversimplified video. I see Mr. Terry's reaction to Oversimplified video - I watch Mr. Terry's reaction to Oversimplified video. Simple as that.

I was surprised he didn't react to this earlier tbh
Ich weiß kommt ein bisschen zu spät, aber ich schaue es immernoch
Ich agree
After hearing his intro, I kinda feel bad. I only come to his channel because of Oversimplified and the context he adds.
Yeah me too
😂😂😂
But now I'm stuck here XD
I always enjoy coming to these videos and seeing them twice the length of the original, because you fill us with thoughts and facts, and I learn so much
Me with most Oversimplified videos: Well, they’re a comedy channel so the jokes they make that _simplify_ a lot of points aren’t gonna bother me too much.
Me with this video after doing my dissertation on the Russian Revolution: *YOU TALKING MAD SH*T FOR SOMEONE IN METICULOUSLY CORRECTING DISTANCE, BOI!*
Hail Longshanks! Good to see a fellow massive!
That wording lol 😂 10/10 comment execution
I’m related to you bro.
21:37 The show is "90 Day Fiance"
Random Nordic fact of the video 1: in Denmark there’s a tower called goose tower, and it got that name because the Hansa declared war on the Danish king at the time, who responded with: 77 chickens and 77 geese doesn’t matter. and then he put up a golden goose on top of the tower. Afterwards there were a couple of wars which has their own weird stories.
I'm definitely a casual history fan, but every time I watch your videos, oversimplified, or listen to Dan Carlin or anything like that I'm collecting a much more comprehensive picture of history than I ever got in school.
Thanks for putting more about history into the zeitgeist than what we get in public school in the US. We skipped more than half of the text books we were given lol.
Oh wow, I didn't even know Oversimplified made this until you reacted to it.
Me Terry unsimplifies the video so we get the whole history
But not over complicate it.
This was an extremely youtubery introduction...
and I loved it.
Our favorite nerd is all grown up and introing all suavely like a real RUclipsr now *~sniffle~* soon we won't be able to keep the girls off him
Mr. Terry went from a teacher who did RUclips to a RUclipsr who is a Teacher
I've learned more in a couple of videos of MR Terry that in years of history lessons in school
Me watching oversimplifies new videos: hey I can’t wait for Mr terry to make his videos about this
Me browsing RUclips: Mr terry Russian revolution oversimplified in notifications
Me: :)
I can't wait to see about 10 years later 2020 oversimplified.
9:37 You can see the Pi symbol on Tsar Alexander the Second's forehead
Just so you know, you can frame by frame videos with the keys "," and "."
So earlier this week, I saw Oversimplified posted and watched it immediately and then went "hey, Mr Terry's fallen off my notifications."
Love seeing that Mr Terry is more animated here with the jumpcuts. Gonna be a good vid.
0:49 to 0:51 "it's probably my favourite channel, it's probably your favourite channel"

I did not know about the Oversimplified Waldo…Thx this is what I needed from my RUclips teacher
Actually Stolypin was really cool guy. I know here he has been portrayed as some maniac , but you need to understand the scale of violence. You know Russia is a big country and back then was even bigger. And some region went completely rogue , in some areas criminals took power and it was a mess. So Stolypin brought military courts and stabilized that regions. Plus his reforms were great. Thanks to him russia avoided famine. And eventually he became so popular he started overshadow the Tsar , so Nickolas released him from duty
Bet that made Nick REALLY popular
Btw Stolypin made Stalins mass deportations look timid.
transylvanian well I can only advise to check out the reason why he had to execute such harsh measures
transylvanian it wasn’t because he was blood-thirsty monster like Stalin ot hitler
transylvanian no you are wrong. Read some resource . When I mean criminals and rogues I mean criminals and rogues! Not some local political movements establishing some autonomies. Imagine the regions where murders robberies and rapes are the common things because of lacking of federal forces . That’s why he had to act like this.
You seriously make the oversimplified videos even better. You started your channel with those videos and you just made them even more entertaining.
"taking him off his aspirin" oh you mean it's a bad idea to give blood thinners to a hemophiliac? :'D
I don't know if you're even gonna read this, but I seriously want to thank you for your reaction videos. A passionate teacher can really make or break a class, and in high school I fortunately had the luxury of a great history teacher as well, I remember he used to quiz us sometimes on current affairs to make sure we kept up with what was happening in the world. I even took a trip to Cuba on his recommendation when we were on the topic of the Cold War.
History is an incredibly powerful learning tool and stuff like this makes me fall in love with it all over again. I hope channels like yours, Oversimplified and so many others can keep doing what they do for a long time to come.
This is a reaction channel done well. It's nice to get a second take from an actual history teacher, keep it up
I can't imagine how big oversimplified's head is right now
“And people like you could get a girlfriend”

fun fact, oversimplified typically uploads every 3 months so you can be on the look out for new vidoes by him
Nicholas may not have ordered the massacre of the peaceful protesters, but that was clearly his intention.
Nicholas may have been incompetent, but even he knew the outcome of sending troops to address a protest, no matter how peaceful.
Execute the officer who gave the order.
@@0816M3RC Did Nicholas do that?
One thing I was taught about the Russo-Japanese War was that both nations were lucky it was a mostly naval conflict. The Battle of Mukden saw Russian infantry Ura charge into Japanese Hotchkiss guns and Japanese infantry Banzai charge into Russian Maxim guns. Most foreign observers noted the butchery of such attacks and how it wasn't proper European battle etiquette. The German observers noted the effectiveness of machine guns against infantry and cavalry in the open...
"Looks like we'll have 20 minutes"
So we'll make it 40
So Alexei haemophilia was likely worsened by his mum. She had extreme anxiety, but Rasputin helped her a lot. Nicholas once said something like 'it's better to have one rasputin, then for Alexandra to have another of her moments'. So rasputin calming Alexandra, likely stopped her from making Alexei panic and worry, which would've raised his blood pressure. Add the fact that the doctors were giving him aspirin, which has a side effect of being a blood thinner, amd its probably safe to say he only had a mild case of haemophilia, but everything around him made it worse
Tfw the Taipei Rebellion was partially responsible for communism being a thing.

Tsar Alexander ll: BOY
me: Kratos? Is that you?
13:58 Swede here, just want to point out that by that time, we were a constitutional monarchy. I think. Depends on when the Gustavian era ended. But I'm pretty sure we were a constitutional monarchy too by that time.
What Nicholas II should have done (in my opinion):
- Instituted a bunch of labor laws that benefitted the poor and rich
- Make sure taxes were lower for the industrial sector than the agricultural sector, so that Russia would start its industrial revolution
- Make the monarchy constitutional and set up a parliament so that the workers would be able to make sure the country was ran well
There might be more, but that might have saved Russia
Ooh
transylvanian but then Joseph Stalin took control and then.....
@transylvanian Under those reforms people would still have more money than you, and let's face it, that's what really fires you up 🤣
@transylvanian ok 1) the labor laws I mean are limited health and safety ones, like don't have workers going round food production plants while they are coughing and spotting all over the place
2) the low taxes are meant to incentivise businessmen to industrialise, not to equal things out
the intro was very much a teacher coming back from having a sub and giving his class "the talk" w/o actually scolding them so they get the point
Who else felt like a historian after watching this guy
I love Oversimplified, but I love this channel to for reasons independent of the video creators this guy reviews. Mr. Terry is clearly a dedicated teacher with a genuine passion for the humor, (sometimes face-shattering irony) in the archived stories of the planet and the knowledge and real world wisdom those stories can impart to people even today. I am a fan of that enthusiasm and dedication. I am a Mr. Terry fan 4 LIFE.
Always love watching your content, but I was one of the people that recommended Russian revolution in the last video 😂
To add to what you said about Rasputin healing the boy, I don't know much about this specific story but I know a thing or two about drugs and if the boy was taking a prescription of aspirin and Rasputin as a crazy ass healer told him to stop that would have improved his health considerably.
Aspirin is used for pain, inflammation and fever but it is also and anticoagulant and would have made the boys conditions much worse considering he suffered from hemophilia (difficulty to coagulate blood and stop bleeding).
Teacher so cool that he has a discord
There’s a fantastic Russian phrase that I feel summarizes the Russian revolution and the transition to communism very well. The rough translation of the phrase into English is “we thought we had hit rock bottom… then we heard a knock from the basement”.
I'm just waiting for oversimplified to comment on this video
aah, the bill wurtz “time for World War One” jingle was a nice touch
I know that channel is called literally Oversimplified, but for myself and to fight "ignorantism" about Imperial Russia and Nicholas II, i must write this:
Look at what Nicholas II did for Russia..:
Expanding education (was halted because of WWI)
Signing the October Manifesto
Modernized the navy and army after the war with japan
Gave workers rights
Instated the Duma (which was not entirely toothless and nicholas only dissolved it when it tried to change the system)
Saw incredible growth of grain, iron and coal production
Improved infrastructure specifcally adding electric trams to major cities
The Russian Empire of the new 20th century was not backwater and many pro-soviets guys or just ignorant (no offences) people considers it like this, and Late Imperial Russia was always predicted to become a global power by numerous economists. Just a few examples of how backwards the Russian emprie was in 1888 St Peter's became the first city to use electric trams rather than cable or gas trams and by 1916 all major cities had intricate functioning tram systems. Russia also produced more grain than Argentina, the US and Canada combined. Russia was industrializing faster than the US at the time. It had the 4th biggest economy in Europe behind the UK, Austria Hungary and sometimes France who they would go back and forth with over the 19th century. Russia had a submarine fleet and airforce and a russian pilot was the first ever to take down an enemy aircraft in combat. Nicholas granted workers insurance and limited work hours something most of europe wouldnt touch until the 30s. By 1917 literacy in the Empire was 80 percent circa and the soviets actually furthered Nicholas' programs. History is not on the Soviet's side. The human cost was not worth it and please explain how those rockets and sending a guy to space helped the common people of Russia?
As great as the space race was for technological growth it happened because of the cold war and the constant threat of nuclear warfare. To the average person they benefited shit from it
Russia was always behind and a real backwater during the soviet era, neutrally and unpolitically speeking, because of the inefficiencies. During WW2 the USSR army used outdated equipment and poorly trained conscripts but because Stalin could spare 24 million men and that is what won the war.
Disclaimer for the people that says "nIcHoLaS WaS A TyRaNt bLoOd-wAnTeD, hE DiD'T CaReD AbOuT ThE PeOpLe11!!!"
Tbh, the soviets did. Just to start, Nicholas and family, even if the most living richest family, lived really in a humble and simple way. The daughters of Nicholas II hated beging adressed with their titles and et cetera, the older two daughters and the Empres made active nursing service for the wounded souldiers, meanwhile the little daughters made charity works. They really loved visited their people, like a farm that was close to the Imperial trainstation of Mogilev (The russian army HQ). Even duing their captivity, all the family wrote in their letters to dear ones and in their diaries that they didn't dislike their new life, and that they were pretty happy. About Rasputin, try to let your wife see her only son dying unable to find any medic to cure your loved son, who was the center of Nicholas' family...
Note on Russian Serfdom- It was abolished in 1861. This is in the same year as the American civil war. I think that this says a lot about Imperial Russia
I find Lenin to be a bit of a complex character. Yes he showed he could be a brutal dictator, but he also put forward policies that generally helped people, gave liberties to minorities and so on.
Do I think he would have been a brutal dictator like Stalin? No.
Do I think he would have been just a brutal dictator? Maybe.
Do I think he would have helped his people? Possibly.
The fact is he died before we could really see what kind of leader he would be in 'peace time'. We know what he was like when leading the Revolution, we know what he was like when fighting the Civil War. We know he was very dedicated to his ideals. Maybe he would have been a good leader, possibly a brutal leader. But we will never really know because he died before he could really shape his ideals into reality and gave way to Stalin to rise.
I remember reading about Lenin's exile to Siberia. Apparently he actually found it one of the best times in his life, fresh country air, free time to focus on ironing out his ideals, and a good place to find like-minded comrades, it wasn't even that good of a prison, Stalin alone escaped like 3-4 times. At the same time the labor camps for exiles seemed to inspire the gulags under the USSR, which shouldn't be surprising as many of the Bolshevik leaders had a good amount of experience in them.
I guess setting the bar for brutality at Stalin is a little high, isn’t it?
Bertrand Russels conversation with Lenin is pretty telling of what kind of man he was, check it out. Besides, Lenin and the bolsjeviks imprisoned and murdered political opponents by the thousands and eventually by the hundreds of thousands. I agree in that, in spite of all the thuggery of bolsjevism, i dont think he would have ended up nearly as murderous as Stalin, since he also considered Stalin to much of a brute, but Lenin was a dictator nonetheless responsible for the killing of many.
Would you ever do Mr. Terry Reacts to the Hamilfilm?
