Marco Polo was a famous explorer who was one of the first westerners to bring back written accounts about the east. The kids game, the bridge, all of it is just named after the very famous explorer.
The amount of history I learned from Uncharted video games is amazing. I think I learned more history from video game cutscenes, movies, and TV than I did in school. 😂
A very detailed account of his travels was written soon after he returned to Italy. I read them as a kid and they was as interesting as any film.

The Queen became rather famous for serving as a regular soldier in ww2, she drove ambulances as I recall.
Truck driver and mechanic. There's a famous photo of her in her mechanic overalls.
The sweetheart Queen also repaired them!
she also was a mechanic in the war too! She was just the Kings daughter back then!
She was definitely not a regular soldier
@@DerekDerekDerekDerekDerekDerek she was a mechanic in the war though. There some cool photos of her fixing a car when she was young!
marco polo was a real person. he went to china and was absolutely dumbfounded how advanced and cultural their society was.
Thing is every time I here Marco Polo I think he was Chinese for some reason even though he wasn’t
He took examples of Chinese technology back to Europe, where they were embraced and improved. Meanwhile, the Chinese forgot about those same technologies or allowed them to stagnate. When Europeans returned to China centuries later, the people there marveled at European technologies and didn't know that their own ancestors had invented them. One of the greatest failings of China historically was that they had a tendency to make advancements until things were good enough to get by, and then never make it better.
My favorite way to explain it is a humorous story I made up.
"Thousands of years ago, there was a caveman named Ogg living in Europe. His people had recently discovered the secret of making fire, and that if they suspended meat over it, it tasted better and they didn't get sick from eating it. The problem that Ogg faced was that when he held the meat to eat it, he often singed his fingers.
"Ogg was a particularly bright person, and he soon had an idea. If he sharpened the end of a stick and pushed it into the meat, he could hold it without hurting his hands.
"But another problem arose. The meat could twist around on the stick, slide down it, or even fall off onto the ground. So he thought about it some more, and soon figured out that if he used a forked stick and sharpened both branches, the meat would be stable on it and he could eat it safely and comfortably.
"Over the next several thousands of years, Ogg's descendants picked up his idea and ran with it. Always inventive, they approached every new kind of food they invented with an eye on how to eat it best. They made utensils out of every imaginable material, and their arsenal grew to include a wide variety of implements that were often specialized for eating a particular type of food. They even turned their utensils into art. Today, tableware in the western hemisphere can include a bewildering array of items, many quite beautiful.
"At about the same time as the life of Ogg, in eastern Asia a caveman named Guu faced the same problem Ogg had, and was similarly bright. However, he approached the problem differently.
"It occurred to him that if he were to take two sticks and pinch his meat between them, he could avoid burning his fingers and hold it steady as he ate, especially if he cut it up into small pieces first with a sharp rock.
"His innovation caught on with his people immediately, and spread to all the tribes in the region. Over the course of the next several thousands of years, his descendants improved on his idea by polishing the sticks."
Marco Polo encountered a variety of Chinese noodle dishes -- so the appearance of spaghetti in Italy soon after his return is no coincidence.
I'm Italian. When my parents told me that pasta noodles came from Asian noodles because of Marco Polo I was dumbfounded!
@@robertcampomizzi7988
Yep…it’s true!
Marco Polo was most definitely a real person and an extremely important historical figure lol
He also came across a real life dinosaur. Which he chronicled and described in his logs in great detail.
Thereby demolishing the later theory that these creatures became extinct millions of years ago.
Of course, since that didn’t fit in with later evolutionary theory, Marco Polo’s observations were ignored by so called “scientists” leaving them free to propagate their made up fairy-tales.
oh boy....I was taken back not knowing this, thought this just general knowledge.
@@sicily7220nah, I know OF Marco Polo, but I don't really know much besides his name.
Oversimplified excels at explaining _why_ these things happened and what led up to them, and what could've been done to avert it.
Which matters so much more than just memorizing dates and a timeline events like so many schools teach.
One is simply memorization, but the other actually _teaches_ you something.
Does the UK not have a world history class? Britain played a major part in both worlds wars, so I would imagine you at least know Britain's role in the wars.
It's strangely reassuring to know America isn't the only place where schools say why bother teaching history.
They just teach different things. We in germany also learn nothing about the war itself we only get tought holocaust etc
@@nerevarchthn6860 oh really? I understand not l learning about other things, the knowing why the world wars started and why they happened seems pretty important. Especially if your country had a major part in it, but I suppose it is what is ¯\(°_o)/¯
My son attends school in England and learned about the World Wars in Elementary School. Perhaps they just don't recall learning about it. I'm confused as to why they know so little.
@@purplegorilla9592 reassuring? you dumb? it means an even greater percentage of the world is getting increasingly dumb
Then Princess Elizabeth was 13 when the second world war started. She turned 18 in 1944 and joined the women's branch of the Army training and serving as a mechanic.
Okay that makes sense, from what others said I thought she was there longer
Yall really should learn as much as you can about WW1 and WW2. Both of those wars were really important for the relationship we have for each other today. We saved each other's lives...
Absolutely true.
My dad was stationed in the UK in WW II in an American anti-aircraft artillery battalion which tried to shoot down buzz bombs. I hope you can continue with Band of Brothers and other WW II movies. After WW II, Winston Churchill gave his famous Iron Curtain speech at a small college in Missouri called Westminster College. The Battle of Britain movie is also a good movie to watch.
Chad dad
The whole US Japan forced trade thing was true and also where the term gunboat diplomacy came from. Basically the US pulled into Japan with warships, and then basically said "You will open your borders to trade with us or see those warships over there, we will use them on you."
And yes Hitler was indeed Austrian.
I mean...The Brits were in WW1 and WW2 so the whole "I was taught british history" is a bit....well I guess the history teachings in England are lacking.
The Dunkirk boat lift was almost the largest in history. The NY and NJ boat owners on 9/11 surpassed Dunkirk by 200k evacuatees
BTW, Millie looks radiant....
But, "Those who forget history, are destined to repeat it."
Sorry I have a Bachelor's in History and Political Science. It's an extremely important subject... Now more than ever.
You guys were talking about the Queens age during WWII. She actually served as a vehicle mechanic during the war. That’s one of many reasons I’ve always admired her.
@2:10 "im british and my history lessons were British" that isn't going to age well.
Come on now you were one of the primary belligerents in both world wars, they had to have spent weeks covering both of them. Ww1 is weeks long in american schools and we were in thatbwar for 5min comparitivly 😂
Don't forget we have a over a thousand yrs of history . I was taught a little on both wars , the tudors and a little on the Elizabethan era . That was in the 80s .
@@claregale9011 we get taught 12-14 years of history in the US( mandatory). They cover everything from the birth of civilization to rome, the three kingdoms, holy roman empire, england( roman-viking-norman-reform) I could keep naming random stuff but we learn the basics and some in depth version of everything the western world has touched
@@claregale9011 also had to point out don't try and say the 1850s to us, we had a civil war, progressed as a people, destroyed the Spanish empire and became a superpower in the time it took you all to notice you were not one anymore.
@@A_Name_ cool .
@@claregale9011 still awaiting for a real response. The yorkshists(sp?) And the Lancasters, the 1st second and 3rd war with Scotland. The potato famine, Cromwell before that, churchhill becoming prim minster after sending thousands of Anzac boys to die. All taught in American schools.
WWI caused WWII. Both Germany and Italy were unhappy with the outcome and banded together.
Would love to see the bunkers on Jersey as this is something different.
Watching you made me weep for the state of British education xD
WW2 Started with Germany, Italy and Japan as the axis. Look today Russia, China and Iran history always repeats it self !!!!!
It's gonna be Russia China and North Korea maybe Israel and potentially Myanmar or Saudi Arabia.
Why do no Europeans I’ve ever seen watch WWII stuff (which is a lot) know almost nothing about it? I would have thought it a major occurrence for Europeans
Not to be hyper critical bit I think part of the issue of understanding the video was talking over the first part of each chapter then trying to play catchup.
But still very fun watching. 😊
Marco Polo was an explorer. He opened the world map to Europe quote extensively.
The game using his name, "even though I can't see, I'll still find you" matches his operation as an explorer.
To answer her questions: Hitler was Austrian until 1932, when he obtained German citizenship to run against Hindenburg in the Presidential elections.
He did heavily play up the fact he came from Austria when giving speeches there after the Anschluss.
Marco Polo was a real person lmaooo
Marco Polo was a famous explorer. That is why kids say it.
The queen was a volunteer mechanic and driver in WWII. Also, wasn't Jersey occupied during the war?
Yes, Hitler, an Austrian, took control of Germany. And Stalin, a Georgian, took control of Russia.
The two world wars are extremely important for the UK and the US. There are still people alive who were in WWII. It’s not that long ago, and it killed more people and was more destructive than any other war in history. Another war of that magnitude would likely end humanity.
Okay, you guys. Because of you, I will never again let a Brit give Americans guff about not being taught world history in school.
But Millie did remember correctly where Hitler was from. It doesn’t quite make up for not recognizing Marco Polo, though.
Seriously. 4 minutes in (or less) and they both look like they're trying to learn a foreign language they're so confused. It's your channel do what you want but I strongly recommend SHUTTING UP especially if you're clearly clueless about the topic. You could, I don't know, learn what you're confused about in literally the next sentence. Jesus christ. And Americans are stupid?
I think this is a generational thing. This is what happens when students prefer to smoke weed instead of pay attention in class. Absolutly disgraceful.
I love you guys but it's nice to see the U.S. isn't the only place they stopped teaching history.😮
Sad actually.
TBF a lot has happened since WWII and their country does have over a thousand years of history to cover. They get more of a pass than the US does IMO.
@@gwgux TBF Nothing more consequential has happened since WW2. And it happened on British soil (by air). And American education of history is terrible too. Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it.
Lmao I had to laugh when they were completely surprised by the existence of Mussolini and Marco Polo. 😂😂😂
@@jariemonah Agreed. I cannot believe a modern British person did not know their Queen served as a driver in WW2 (not a child.) Probably the most famous (and respected) person in the world. WW2 effects everything you do today... (sad to say were about to have WW3.)
YES! Please watch part 2 soon
When the video started so long before WWII, you two seemed to overthink it. It's simplified, true -- but the easy rise of Hitler needs a mention of Mussolini to fully understand the events.
Did you guys not cover this in high school? This was all 11th grade history review for me.
How did Europeans not cover Italian history in the mid 20th century, but we did in the US?
10th grade in California, but yeah. I wonder if they know about the Spanish Armada or the Opium Wars.
I don't really feel like two people from the UK reflect in any way on how the rest of Europe learns or has learned history.
Even in a specific country the amount of history + the contents of it in your studies depends on the time when the studies took place and your further choice of an education after the mandatory portions of school.
@@DremoraMaster In reverse order, the subjects we are talking about were covered in K-12 education in our experiences in the US, sometimes multiple times in increasing depth or breadth. Our two Brits have advanced education and come from very different parts of the UK. Millie is a primary school teacher and James has a degree in Architecture, IIRC.
But c’mon, Marco Polo?! How is it that their only experience is with a game that is played in the pool?
@@DremoraMaster Nor does this guy's experience reflect the US. Because a lot of Americans couldn't tell you much about WWII either. Especially the younger generation.
"Europeans" don't lump us in with british people lmao. Most European countries know better than them
You need to search for who was Marco Polo lol. Looking for Marco Polo in the swimming pool was a summer activity for many kids in the USA when I was growing up. He was ant Italian explorer. I'm an educator in the US who grew up in the 60s and early 70s. We learned a whole lot more about World War 1, 2, ancient history , world geography and World civilizations than what they teach now. US schools are focused on mostly US history from the founding through the civil rights movement They touch on World War 1 and World War 2, Vietnam and the Cold War. But you don't get a lot of ancient history or any in-depth study of world civilizations or world events unless you take advanced history classes in high school.
It's a shame really because I think we repeat so many mistakes when we don't know and understand history. It's also what bothers me the most of that people trying to change and rewrite history to suit their modern-day sensibilities. We should tell history the way it actually happened The Good The bad and The ugly so we can learn from it. Oh and don't be influenced too much by Hollywood movie versions of History.
Ha, yes. He was responsible for the Silken Road. Opening up trade with China and the West.
Bro traveled all around Asia in the Mongol Empire
Hitler was indeed born in Austria. Peace!
Really enjoyed seeing you get back to Oversimplified. I would happily watch you guys vlogging trips to historical sites in Jersey and other places you go as well.
I agree about a lot of info fast . Makes me realize how much I had forgotten . Good reaction as always .
Hitler was Austrian but Austria and Germany have a long and complicated history and they were a united confederation at the time of Hitler's fathers birth. So growing up Hitler listened to a lot of German nationalists that saw Austria as part of Germany. This led Hitler to renounce his Austrian citizenship just before WW1 kicked off and he went and joined the German military.
I love the history. It does go a little fast. Might have to watch it twice😂 I know a little bit more than you because I'm old! My grandparents were in world war I and my parents were in world war II.
I think you're doing a service by reminding people how fragile peace can be. With everything crazy going on with Putin and China it's a good reminder!
These videos are a little fast aren’t they? I think they work great as a kind of starting off point, “here are the bullet points now you have to fill in the rest”
Can't wait for part 2
Hitler was born in Austria and in fact, try t o become an artist. After being kicked out of art school, he did join a local fascist group that eventually become the NSDAP (Nazi Party).
Princess Elizabeth was 13 in 1938. She would go on to become an truck mechanic toward the end of the war. She became queen in 1952
lol Marco Polo was a real man he was a very famous explorer
"marco Polo Brigde cannot be a real bridge"... wow... this is embarrassing...
Queen Elizabeth was 19yrs old in 1940 and she trained as an engine mechanic and worked maintaining military vehicles in WW2.
Wow, they really did not teach you much in school. Yes, Marco Polo was a real merchant that went to China for trade opportunities for Italy. In the US, we have a world history class in High school. I take it they don't have that in the UK?
I was going to say the same. That and that they didn't know that Mussolini was the first to establish fascism and that Hitler was second kid on the block as far as establishing it in Germany is a sad commentary on the UK educational system.
She was in Auxiliary Territorial Service in 1945 so yeah, but was 19 (I think) then so way too young at start
She was born in April 1926, so your dates check out. She would have been just 13 when the war began.
Every time I hear a discussion on Mussolini, I hear my Father, (a WW2 vet) say "Il Duce" in a way that you could hear him bringing up phlegm.
I think that all of the over=talking at the start left you at a disadvantage to better understanding.
So... a few things:
1. Marco Polo was a real person who visited China in the 13th century during the reign of the Mongol Empire under Kublai Khan. He brought news back to Europe about the east that later inspired Europeans to pursue the Age of Exploration, unwittingly leading to Columbus "discovering" the Americas in the process. The bridge in Beijing is named after him, which is where WW2 in Asia started in 1937.
2. The Japanese capture of Nanking in 1937 led to a spree of war crimes that saw something in the order of 200,000 Chinese civilians being murdered by the Japanese. This was the most infamous but hardly the only major Japanese war crime during WW2. Something like 30 million people died as a result of Japanese actions in WW2, with about 15-20 million of them being Chinese. This is why Japan has such difficult relationships with other East Asian nations today, particularly China and the two Koreas.
3. That you two only know that Hitler was "a bad person" is... please look up more about him, despite how unpleasant it is. Hitler and the Nazis are routinely used as a byword for evil, and it is for a very *very* good reason.
But... to sum up? Hitler was a far-right nationalist who pursued intensely socially conservative views, German ethno-nationalism that saw all non-Germanic peoples as inferiors needing to be subjugated or exterminated, and a deep hatred of both Democracy and Communism. Opponents of his regime were stripped of legal rights, beaten, locked up in concentration camps, or murdered. Such opponents include (but are not limited to) Jews, Roma/Gypsies, Communists, Homosexuals, Slavs (a broad ethnic category of peoples from Eastern Europe such as Poles and Russians), people with mental or physical disabilities, and many more. During WW2 Hitler's regime carried out a massive program of exterminating these "enemies" of his regime either through murder or slave labor that is today known as the Holocaust. At least 13 Million people were murdered as a result of these extermination programs, including 6 Million Jews (2/3rds of all of the Jews in Europe at the time) and over 3 Million Soviet Prisoners of War. This is in addition to the tens of millions more killed in the fighting itself and in less organized atrocities all throughout Europe.
4. Then-Princess Elizabeth II was indeed a teenager during WW2. Her father George VI was the King during this time.
If you would like to learn more about WW2 in far far greater detail, including the really ugly stuff, this ongoing youtube documentary channel is my recommendation: www.youtube.com/@WorldWarTwo
I relate to your shock at the levels of ignorance on display here, but come on we both know they're not going to bother
@@otho69AD That also makes me sad. I put effort into that post too. :(
@@CrazyYurie If it's any consolation, I read through everything you wrote and it's honestly really refreshing to see someone so well-informed about history as yourself, especially on this platform
@@otho69AD Have to get some use out of my degree... might as well be in youtube comments. XD
If you would stop talking you might be able to follow along.
It always makes you think when people say it wasn't taught in school or were they not paying attention talking to their friends when it was taught. I remember this being taught in school.
Yes, I would love to see more on WW2
The reason Belgium seemed to be at the centre of both world wars in Europe is that it was originally created as a buffer state between France and Germany after the Napoleonic Wars. So, Belgium's existence was supposed to prevent war between France and Germany, but it actually meant that it slowed any counter-invasionary efforts due to the fact that Belgium wanted to repel Germany on their own without British or French help in their country. By the time Germany inevitably gets through Belgium into France, they are already dangerously close to Paris, so it makes it harder for France and Britain to repel Germany back
The lack of knowledge about european history is really sad...
Getting a deeper understanding of history requires choosing the right sources and paying attention.This source gives you an accurate but very simplified insight. However, you guys, are watching it and interrupting with an attention span of kiddies and taking it in as if it was a video game.
To people of the baby boomer generation, it is so scary to see that this generation knows nothing about world war II. What scares us the most is that history tends to repeat itself, and if you don't know what happened you won't be aware if it starts to repeat.
Lmfao, Im American and even I know the Queen served during WWII. She was an ambulance driver and mechanic. Reportedly a very daring driver.
Are you serious that you didn't know that Marco Polo was a real person? Surely this is a joke. Yes, Adolph Hitler was originally Austrian. Do they not teach history in the UK?
9:50 Definitely a real bridge. Marco Polo was a Venetian explorer who travelled to Persia, India and China in the 1200's with his father and uncle. China was ruled by Kublai Khan (grandson of Genghis Khan, ruler of the Mongol empire at it's height and the founder of the Yuan dynasty) at that point. His father and uncle travelled there before and met Kublai Khan, and he sent them back to the pope with a Mongol ambassador. On the second trip Marco joined and they met with Kublai Khan again, and stayed in his court for over 15 years. Marco Polo wrote a book about his travels and Chinese technology (China was technologically way more advanced at that time) and that's why he's so famous.
The bridge in question is known as both the Marco Polo Bridge and the Lugou Bridge, and is located on the western side of Beijing. It still exists to this day and became famous due to Marco Polo describing it in his book.
Thumbs up on doing vlogs on Jersey historical sites. That would be cool.
8:20
You're correct, Mollie
Hitler was Austrian by birth, the town he was born in was on the banks of the Danube
Something the video didn't mention is that the RAF didn't defend Britain alone. The Czechs, Poles, and Canadians helped defend the skies of Britain and were key to holding the Germans off.
Clarification, Mussolini didn't quite on Socialism he went to another version of it, Fascism, just like Lenin only his form was Communism
13:10 that’s not the peace sign! Lol it’s the English version of the middle finger lol😅😅😅
Would like to see a vlog about jersey during WW2 . I think they were occupied by Germany during the war.
The agreement over Poland started resentment toward Hitler among his military commanders since it handed oil fields to Stalin.
Hitler was Austrian, and moved to Germany to escape the Austrian draft. Hitler in many ways emulated Mussolini, and had sort of a man-crush. This later came back to kick his butt, as Italy was weaker than they projected.
France could've ENDED the war, with a quick strong attack into the Rhineland.
It sounds like you should watch "Finest Hour", it does a reasonably accurate job showing the state of affairs in the UK and France right after Norway, up through the Fall of France.
@8:25 - Hitler was born in a town that in now on the Austrian side of the border with Germany, but at the time of his birth was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Since the AH Empire no longer exists it's easy to say that Hitler was born in Austria, but it's a bit dodgy.
@10:00 - Marco Polo was a 13th century Italian merchant who helped establish trade routes between Europe and Eastern Asian nations on behalf of Kublai Khan, ruler of the Mongol Empire. The Marco Polo bridge (aka Luguo Bridge) is a 12th century stone bridge near Beijing that Marco Polo was very impressed by.
You need to do Hitler oversimplified asap! Y'all would love it
The UK was nearly starved out because of imported oil and not enough agriculture at home to feed their population. It frightens me that we, in the USA, only imported 20% of our food in the year 2000 and now import 40%. Other nations could starve us out at this point, plus we no longer produce as much oil as we did.
Hitler was born in Austria, but his hometown was right across the river from Bavaria in southern Germany and most of the people living there, including Hitler’s family, saw themselves as ethnic Bavarians and not Austrians.
Queen Elizabeth was a vehicle mechanic in ww2
The queen actually fought in the war, she served as a military truck driver.
Fun fact: The reason Stalin allied with Germany is because Poland (the country they’re gonna invaded) was previously part German and part Russian territory, and they gained their independence at the end of WWI.
WWII began when Germany invaded Poland in 1939 and ended when the Japanese surrendered in 1945, as a generalization of when it took place.
@beezleys - marco polo was an explorer who made it to china via ocean ... (oversimplified)
Thank you for explaining something that happened shortly before I was born in 1946!!
Technically WW2 is a byproduct of the allies arrogance.
Yes he was Austrian.👍
I don't know why people have to be idiots about when others don't know something. Everyone has their things they know a lot about and things they know not much about. I know a lot about America and UK history, but I know not much about Chinese history for example.
This is going to sound a bit nasty possibly. In the US, the French were called snail eating surrender monkeys. Bcuz they feared shooting at Germans while at war and were easily over run by the nazis.
Marc Polo was a real person before the stupid pool game.

I actually share a birthday with Benito Moussilini
Millie's Kryptonite: history of Italy.
hell yea ide love to see a vlog of the bunkers
Weird intro not really then you should watch oversimplified Napoleonic wars to see a weird yet hilarious intro.
Hello from Chattanooga, Tennessee.
You guys should react to the Italian invasion of Ethiopia, A crisis that foreshadow the failure of the league of nations and showed the interesting diplomatic relations between Britain, France and Italy when it came with Germany
Hitler got his idea from Mussolini
Beesleys, you previously reacted to The Fallen of WW II. It visualized the mind boggling death toll of World War II.
You also reacted to BOATLIFT - An Untold Tale of 9/11 Resilience. It was even larger than the evacuation of Dunkirk. Both were performed by boat, not airplane. Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk was superb; the battle raging on the ground, air, and at sea simultaneously was difficult to capture, but Nolan did an excellent job.
Since you are reacting to Band of Brothers, you might also want to react to Saving Private Ryan.
Only problem with Dunkirk is it made it look like an evacuation of a few thousand instead of 300,000
@@Alex-kd5xc, either the number of boats shown would have to be greatly increased or the movie would have to cover a greater span of time.
I can't picture movie goers watching a real time depiction over the course of nine days.
Top Military in the World 2023 USA # 1 , #2 China , #3 Russia and #4 India. If England didn’t learn from WW2 were we go again.
*part of a video about Hitler*
“I don’t know too much about a him, or what he did, I just know that everyone hates him.”
Wait…WHAT??!! I love you both, but please tell me you are kidding. Wtf is wrong with British education, if so?! And they say American schooling is bad…(seriously, love you both….that’s just hard to process as a human being on this planet)…
Hitler was born in Austria-Hungary, but was ethnically German. So you’re (half) right, but given the poor quality of the family records kept at the time, his specific ancestry is unknown.
Boy "oversimplified" is really the word here. But, actually most histories just gloss over almost everything between 1918 and 1937.
7:14 Xzibit cameo was cool.
Do the walk of the bunkers, that would be great
Hitler and the Nazis actually hated the black, red, and gold flag of Germany.
Quick question, which nations were involved in WW1: the war to end all wars?
Basically the same as in WW2.
Europe,
And the US.
So long as you don't count the nations outside of Europe and the US
10:37 France and UK declared war to Germany by invading Poland , why not Russia?? Russia did the same thing ??!
Your wife is right Hitler was Austrian but was born in a town right on the German border from early childhood he felt that these two German speaking peoples should be in the same country, he hated the multi-cultural Austro-Hungarian Empire and went to Bavaria and begged the Bavarian king to serve in one of his regiments which was granted. It should also be added the Hitler did not create the party it already existed but only had a handful of members and was more of a drinking club then a political party, Hitler then a corporal was working for a special branch of the German army who investigated political parties and Hitler was sent to observe, while there an individual stated that Bavaria should breaking away from Germany and become it's own state, this enraged Hitler who unleashed on this man his own political thoughts and after as Hitler was leaving the leader of the party handed him a flyer about the political agenda of this new party and after reading it Hitler noticed that their ideas were similar to his own he quit the army went to work for this party and would eventually take it over and make it his own. Hitler was mad about the Munich Agreement, Goering and Mussolini were happy because neither wanted war, but Hitler was pissed he wanted war and felt that the British and French had denied him his war.
