Nauru is best known on CZcams for all the poor investments it made in the 1980s, but did you know that the entire history of the island is just as wacky?

Don't you just hate it when you forget you're a God?
It's the worst
@Adolf Hitler oh god no
We just going to gloss over
“Nazi Pirates”?
Paints a great mental image.
More like Privateers but same concept
@Adolf Hitler Uncle Dolf, I am sorry it went south :(
Hey Adolf I’m hear to buy the bunker you put on the market. I checked it out and I noticed a similar color scheme. I don’t like the excessive use of red and white but I do like your collection of prop heads.
I heard the showers need renovation
Thank you Adolf for giving me the credentials, I want to congratulate you on converting your arm bands into make shift head bands it’s been a real life saver.
Lol! As a Nauruan, I thoroughly appreciated the satirical take on our history. Good content!
That’s awesome! I’m glad you like it!
Bro
do you speak nauruan?
Are you really nauruan?
@@jorgeh.r9879 i am not, but o would really want to ask a nauruan some questions as im interested in yor country.
CZcams: WHAT KINDA HISTORY IS THIS?!? I CAN’T DEMONETIZE THIS!!
History House Productions: Bazinga, no Hitler or Swastikas here.
@Adolf Hitler *no*
This is hilarious because I watched Geography Now's video on Nauru yesterday.
@Egg T What are you talking about?
@Egg T yes?
This is not funny
If you look at pictures of the island's interior there is just desolate stacks of coral, somewhat reminiscent of a grave yard.
Very sad story of human greed, at the islands peak the citizens were one of the richest nations on earth per capita, on an island with no running water many owned swimming pools, now they are one of the poorest nations and rising sea levels will render the island uninhabitable.
It is really too bad. The fact that so much of the island is uninhabitable is just crazy to me.
Corruption, Oh Corruption...
I never seen a Yuan Shikai supporter before.
Hello!
The island isnt a foot above sea level, its a relatively high and hilly island. it wont go anywhere you simp
@@CoffeeSuccubus to be honest, he really didn't do anything bad, he is a good general and a pragmatic leader, it's just that he's to power hungry.
“Almost a gun per person”
America: Those are rookie numbers!
Maybe America was crying in the video because it was just too beautiful.
This is a rags to riches to rags story.
Middle East: makes millions out of oil...
Nauru: *makes millions out of bird poop!*
Every one else: Steals Nauru’s poop.
Nauru: Bruuhhhh.... Unfair.....
Oil = dead dinosaurs...and other stuff turned into a thick black sludge.
@@navilluscire2567 but atleast it's dinosaurs!
America*: makes millions from oil
America: *steals oil*
Middle east:Bruuhhhh.... Unfair....
Oversimplified:Dude................Uncool
Why am I just seeing this?
Yeah alot of the stuff you mentioned was was true, and as Nauruan myself I can say this was pretty accurate.
We had little choice in regards to our actions in the international community. We had so little money that the dead in our morgues were starting to rot because we couldn't afford to buy diesel to keep our utilities going with power. And more people who were ill were stacking up in the hopsital.
Our elders who endured the horrors WW2 said it was better when they were exiled to the other island as slaves, because at least they had something to eat.
Nauru is now but a shadow of its former self, and may never recover fully. But despite the absnece of wealth and the growing challanges we face, the Nauruan people remain.
All we can do is to keep going and hope for the best.
Best wishes to you and your channel.
Thank you for watching! My best wishes to Nauru!
Damn. That is the exact fate that happened to their hotel in Susupe, Saipan called the Nauru Building. After the phosphate depleted, they couldn’t pay for the building anymore (just like their other ones). That hotel shut down and is now the Marianas Business Plaza.
The one dislike is a enemy of the greatest Nauru state
Sealand rivals nauru
I died at the Taiwan is part of China scene
@Gabriel Petkov where
F for you then
Gabriel Petkov well, now that China has money, they can play Australia’s and America’s game in buying off smaller island countries in the Pacific region for UN support.
@@alexanderchristopher6237 you know their economy is tanking atm right?
The dress was blue
Nazi pirates ? Sounds like fun
A match made in Hell.
This reminds me of the 'Are we the baddies?' sketch.
@@Artur_M. Are we the pirates ?
How can I become one?
Jarrr!
5:21 Murica seeing the almost non existent murder rate in Switzerland
That's not because they have less guns...
henrey no, it's because they have no guns at all. Im from switzerland by the way.
Britons realizing London's violent crime rate has surpassed NYC'S.
@@Tom_Cruise_Missile LOL
@@ThrE3-GeS that's not how it works. You've heard of getting guns illegally and how most guns are gotten illegally when it's linked to crime right?
And this is just setting aside the fact there is a huge difference of culture in Switzerland.
As a nauruan I totally aprove this video
Just curious about the gun thing, are airsoft bb and pellet guns banned to?
poor Nauruans : (
Nauru went from one of the richest nations from selling bird poop to Australia’s prison island, and now into 2020 they are now Australia’s quarantine island.
Petition to call the population of Nauru ‘Narutos’
I’d sign it
I'd like to make the official national greeting "Hiya fatso!"
“Put him in a raft and pushed him out to sea.”
My brain….
Naru and Beach Combers: “We’re not your buddy, friend!”
Jones as he sails away: “I’m not your friend, guy!”
Naru and Beach Coners: “We’re not your guy, Buddy!”
"Wow europeans are so brutal"
*Japanese* "Allows us to introduce ourselves."
I thought they were going to say," TAIWAN IS PART OF US" and "THE INVASION OF GEORGIA WAS BRITAINS FAULT" because they wanted revenge for colonizing them i guess
Outcast Panda Nah, it’s about the money.
That’s one of the reasons why they agreed to host the detention camp for Australia there.
The small island nations of the South Pacific often relies on other countries, especially richer countries like Australia or the US, for aid because they don’t have much of a sustainable economy there. Tourism sometimes isn’t enough.
So they trade their UN memberships and diplomatic support for money. Many such countries are often knee-deep debating Asia-Pacific issues in the UN. The most famous is probably calling Taiwan as China and support for an independent West Papua. Though tiny, they still have equal votes in the UN as other countries save for the veto powers of the 5 permanent members.
part of us or part of united states?
"The dress was blue"
just when i thought you couldnt get more based
*RESPECT THE DRIP GUSTAV*
Oh ok
The jaystation joke had me sold😂
When you realize you got a response from the creator and and get happy
And don't feel depressed that the comment dead
RESPECT THE DRIP GUSTAV!
My favourite line from the video. Awesome writing bro.
Thank you!
There is a Nauru Tower on Ala Moana boulevard in town. A good investment? There were other phosphate islands, and the commissioners were obligated to invest and help islanders when the phosphate was gone. I think there is more to this story and other similar ones. Sir Arthur Grimble's A Pattern of Islands tells the story of his post on Tarawa, 1914-30 as a British Colonial officer. He left for the Carribbean in 1931
Wow, the island of Nauru is just getting better and better!
2:55 Perfect depiction of what native populations felt when seeing a huge strange ship coming for them.
I love you videos and thank you for putting the sponsor at the end :D
Another well-made video. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Man, this is so similar to Sam O'Nella Academy...
damn Gustav, respect the goddamn drip.
There’s no sorts of intelligent life anywhere shows J station
I straight up rolled on the floor laughing till i couldnt breathe at that part, and im only 1:10 in? What else could be here?
Amazing video,it's nice to see you rise to here. Hope I,loyal s̶l̶a̶v̶e̶ subscriber of you,am not forgotten. You still deserve more.
Great video! I love your channel
Thank you!
My world history teacher for university did a lecture on the guano mines on islands in the pacific. He started class by saying “ today we are going to talk about bird shit and indentured servitude. One of those is a lot funnier so I’ll try and focus on it first. So bird shit was worth more then gold........”
Haha! That's an interesting way to start a lecture.
Congrats on getting monetized
Those birds in naru island would have been safe if they were sponsored by world of warships
Nauru became rich by selling poop.
I have been trying to fossilize my poop for 37 years,
soon I will be rich and I will be the one laughing!
no mom i don´t need a job i am working on opening a poop store
It's a fool-proof scheme!
Oh oh poopy
Nauru when undiscovered: Well i bet that the future looks good to us.
Nauru in the future:I JUST GOT DRUNK AND KILLED A BUNCH OF PEOPLE.
OMG FINALLY!!! I thought you died. I'm so glad your still making PREMIUM content. DID STALIN LET YOU GO FOR QUALITY CONTENT!
YES COMRADES! Stalin LET HIM GO IN EXCHANGE FOR CAPITALIST INTELL
It took a month because I was walking back from Siberia.
@@HistoryHouseProductions Damn stalin and those gulags....
Yay a heart
Glad you’re back. Keep up the great work
Thanks! Will do!
What a weird history of this island. I never heard of it. Nice job
Thank you!
On your Warsaw Uprising video what is the name of the music you play at 5:17
good job
keep up good work
Thank you!
I like this channel sooo much
Really funny video 😂😂😂 thanks for making my day better
Thank YOU! I’m glad you enjoy it!
Omg that jay station reference
CALLING THE NAURUANS ON 3AM (THEY STINKS!)
Great Britain when they took over Nauru: So we back in the mine
How about history of germany? I know there is many but your content makes it so funny.
Germany may appear sometime! XD
@@HistoryHouseProductions Please yes. *Kaiserreich intensifies*
Damn your channel has grown so much
Great channel
Thank you!
Historically it is beleived that Nauruans are descendents of Micronesians and Polynesians that settled and mixed on the island. Thus why there genetics and language are a mystery.
Hi, I’m making a video about Nauru. Can I use parts of your video in my video, with credits to your channel/instagram?
Thanks so much for asking. What kind of video is it? Where’re you planning to post it?
Well, I answered your question but YT removed my comment... it will be a video about Nauru (geography, history and fun facts) in Portuguese.
@@RafaelScapella yeah. I’d be okay with that. As long as you don’t use the whole video and credit me, I’d be okay with it.
@@HistoryHouseProductions sure, no I wouldn't use a lot of it and yes, I would totally credit you. I know what it's like when people just grab your content and present it like its theirs... once a TV channel did that with videos that I spent time and money to make. I wasn't happy...
Finaly a new video! And now how many months will take for the next one😅
Probably less time now that I’m stuck in my house because of Coronavirus...
Oh yeah...but because Im a curious person Im going to ask you from curiositi where ate you from?
Im living there when Coronavirus spreads more in my country
Dude amazing vid. 10/nauru's economy
I have 17 friends sub to you at my school someone sharednthis chanel to me and i really like it I wosh you could upload video every 2 days or something but it will be a hard work and im a big fan and. Keep doing vid i love it its funny.
Im from onother country
Good vid👍
Thank you!
i fucking love this channel for all of the I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE moments
Haha! I’m glad you like it!
Why's the name of the song you played during the sponsorship? Sounds like a real banger
nice i missed your videos
2:16 an airliner b-17 would be the coolest shit ever
I love all of ur vids and I would love to see South America history vids like the triple alliance war
That’s on the list!
History House Productions thank you dude
Lol that last bit was cold lol
Could you make a Video about the Country Georgia? It has a pretty interesting history:)
What is your intro music? I really want to know!
I composed it in GarageBand
@@HistoryHouseProductions thanks!
I learned something new today
Why don't they just pour sand and dirt and stuff over the old mines to make the land habitable again?
@Bluenevolent Perhaps they could get a loan?
isit justme or was the entire ad just shots of the u s s misouri ship?? at the end
The fricken boat got me.
I love the intro
Fertilizer isn't the only thing phosphates can be used for
That transition to world of warships though
Congratulations, you have roughly 45k subscribers. Next video you'll have like 80k.
Always has been one of my favourite / most interesting countries. But their 20th century history is just really sad
Glad I'm not the only one with a crippling fear of playing games with voice chat HEUEHEUEHEUE
Wow I heard about that camp I didn’t know it was Nauru
beautifully drawn spider
The beginning kind of has a Sam O’Nella vibe
You can cross that whole country watching this video and still have a couple minutes left
This is pretty interesting
I thought so too! Glad you liked it!
I can't believe how many Nauruans are in this comment section. There aren't very many period. That is amazing.
So basically every video about small unknown country’s: So there was a peaceful friendly Country living in harmony, then rich Europeans,Americans or Asians came and just ,you know, destroyed everything for there own goods. Noice
Nazi pirates?? *WHY AM I JUST FINDING OUT THAT WAS A THING?!?!?!?!*
you so under rated
A fool and his bird pop are soon parted.
fuckin hilarious! definitely subbing
All I knew about Nauru was 'Bird poop'.
So, I was waiting for HOI4 to start up and in the meantime watched this video, and just when they fell the music started playing
Do Tuvalu next please
@Gabriel Petkov yes
I wanna watch this but I’m at work :(
Quit your job then
@Twój Stary Wkurwiony 😉
Respect the drip Gustav needs to be your Instagram bio
Where did you see that the detention centre closed? It’s still operating as far as I’m aware..
Beatyful
5:21 ... This is priceless.
I’m so glad that the creation of humans phased out the brainlethal, modernly known as the ‘Jaystation’
“Nauru during the colonial period” then the next slide has the year “1845” , which was during the Victorian era
But it was during the colonial period of Nauru. Nauru wasn't a colony during the traditional "colonial period."
History House Productions ah then my bad , still enjoy your content and I appreciate the clarification
No worries at all!
