Should we continue with a history series? 🤔 hope you enjoyed the vid! 💕 give it a like for more! 👍🏾
Yes yes yes yes yes ☺️😊
Yeah definitely, I love oversimplified's videos :)
React to part 2
YES!
Yes you definitely should, but when you said about the German Aryan race, that was the ideas of Hitler's fascism which began his rise in 1933 and through out World War 2; the first world war began because of Imperial Germany (lead by Kaiser Wilhelm 2nd, cousin to Queen Victoria who died in 1901) ambitions of expanding the empire in Europe and aggressively invading Belgium, but it was also because of the assassination of the Arch Duke Franz Ferdinand of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, this made Austro-Hungary declare war on the independent nation of Serbia.
As someone who has a degree in history, it really worries me that the majority of young Americans may be as clueless about world history as this young person appears to be. There seems to be a mindset in the USA that if it didn't happen in the good old US of A it either didn't happen or is completely irrelevant.
But at least Favor is trying to learn about it and although she is looking at things that happen in history from a modern slant which, ok I admit, gets my eyes rolling sometimes, she is having a go at understanding, so cudos to her and long may she continue her self education. Better this than sitting watching Love Island and Jersey Shore and having your brain cells melted. Unless you are educated fully at school in world history and not just the history of your state or country or if you educate yourself later on because of your love of history in the whole it is a good thing.
@@sjbict yeah, U571's a classic example. Let's take credit for capturing an Enigma... Actual fact: That was a British capture.
Mixture of 1st world war and 2nd world war worrying.
@@dannystruggles5504 Except bring over flue which ended killing more people than another virus, It was called Spanish flue because the Spanish brought it to the attention of the authorities.
@@peterfriend2919 And then named it the Spanish flu to pass the blame

That’s world war 2 I love how she ww1 and ww2 confused 😂😂
I don't think America teaches much about ww1 in their schools because they didn't take a major part in it, even though the aftermath created the atmosphere for a second world war.
From her words i see they still teach alot of the post ww2 propaganda too.
@@the98themperoroftheholybri33 oh definitely mate. Their education system is based on ‘America First, America Best’.
It’s so depressing how little history is taught in US schools. Makes me genuinely sad for that country.
Cause many teachers here don't try to help us understand, the just give us a book, tell us a page number, and leave us to it. The schools here also don't often get the funding they need.
What you were saying about the persecution of jewish people, gypsies, homosexuals, etc was Nazi Germany - leading up to the Second World War. Definitely worth checking out a video on that too, as well as the Russian revolution, Stalin etc. Also more reactions to Tudors 🎉😂
Further to that, you're so fun & we love you 😁❤
German Jews fought in the German and Austro-Hungarian armies. Ww1 was the natural result of empires clashing
@@the98themperoroftheholybri33 precisely
That being said, ethnic tensions were very prevelevant in WW1 as well. Especially within the austro-hungarian empire.
I appreciated her knowing it wasn’t just the Jews who were targeted. A lot of people ignore the other who were killed in massive numbers. My grandma was thankful every day that her father brought them to England in 1900. Europe was not a good place for the Roma.
I think the only reason people got at you (over the British/German soccer match), was because you said it was Americans.
It would be like a British reactor taking credit for Apollo 11.
Side note: nazi Germany is different than regular Germany!! 😳
History is mandatory for our first 3 years of secondary school and then you can choose to do another subject or history for the last 2 years, that's probably why we are surprised
Here in Italy it is mandatory until university
Anastasia was the youngest daughter of the russian Zar Nicholas II. The family was shot July 17th 1918 as a result of the russian revolution 1917.
Holocaust was during WWII - you're reacting to WWI 😊
Tsar not Zar or you can say tzar
@@alexandrutf7412 Well, I used Danish spelling - my bad 🙃😊
Tsar*
It's absolutely fine that you don't know things about British history...
However.... I did get slightly annoyed when you called the british soldiers American 😂
It isn't really covered in this but you should remember: the UK, German and Russian Monarchs were all related. British King George V was a 1st cousin to both Germany's Kaiser Wilhelm and Russia's Tsar Nicholas & Nicholas was a 3rd Cousin to Wilhelm. meanwhile the Tsars wife - Alexandra - was also a first cousin of both George and Wilhelm.
George and Nicholas were the double of each other and would often swap their outfits at parties to see how long it would take for someone to realise they were speaking to the wrong person.
@@jenniedarling3710 And get when the revolution came, George was to scared to take Nicholas and his family in,leading to their execution... (Russians, not whatever flavour said Anastasia was)
There's a photo of George, Wilhelm & Nicolas stood together....they look like triplets!
@@danosverige Wilhelm stands out, but probably only because he didn't grow a beard and had "kaiser mustache" instead.
@@Ruosteinenknight -Yeah, but if you shaved them all?
Sadly the fact that they were family was supposed to prevent war. Turns out overthrowing the nobility was a better solution.
Hi Favour I really admire you trying to understand and learn about world history. The holocaust was world war 2 mainly. World war one 1914 - 1918 world war 2 1939 - 45. (Generally) there was some fighting outside of these dates.It was in the space of no man's land that the football game was played.
what
Britain didn’t just rule the sea at this time, we also had the worlds first Air Force. 👍
And invented the tank..
And enslaved the world 👍
@@JoeVington They still had their colonies during WW1 lmao
And the train
And used Arabs to win the war and then betray them afterwards
When bayonet charges take a long time to reload
...Let me just reload my bayonet real quick
The thing you said at the start about what Germany wanted with the aryan race wasn’t till a couple decades later.
WWI was basically a lot of people dying for some rich people who commanded it. And there was conscription. That's why the football match in the Sainsbury's ad was so important. The people on the ground were mostly poorer people from both countries and they had more in common with each other than with the leaders of the countries sending them to war. On Christmas Day they celebrated together during the Christmas Day truce and then the next day they had to go back to killing each other. Nazi Germany was WWII and therefore a very different war (ideologically).
I'm British but I am not a water person 😂😂😂😂
@@danielleeskelton i can swim, but i loath water as a drink unless it's been adulterated with tea,coffee or squash
If you're interested in ww1, react to the trailer "they shall never grow old", its a documentary created by Peter Jackson with old interviews from veterans and full colour restored footage from the time with added lip sync dubbing, its mind blowing.
I suggested that one after Xmas ads2
the title simplified is correct, it was called the war to end all wars and claimed the lives of 20 million with 21 million casualties, cavalry regiments were still used and around 8 million horses died, the scale of the slaughter was made worse by the fact that you were branded a traitor if you refused to enlist and in 1916 all men between the ages of 19 to 41 were conscripted with few exceptions
15:03 They had machine guns in WW1 they tried several rushes but they were complete massacres. If soldiers refused to go over the wall they were shot for cowardice.
ok, reason why we couldn’t just build a trench around them was in 1914 Britain had an army of 300,000 and Germany had an army of more than 1 million
Been waiting for this one! Keep it up!
They had bolt action Lee-enfield and mouser 98k's not muskets
I am not very familiar with the American school system. Does it mean you don't do history classes in middle school? Or primary school? I went to school in Italy and we had history classes in primary, middle and high school. My high school was focused on foreign languages but you could not opt out of history.
Anastasia: You are talking about the Russian Royal Family assassinated by the Communists in 1918.
There is a 5 part series of WW1 made by Epic History TV it's a fantastic way of learning about WW1 in general but not detailed to much so that you don't get lost. There was no good or bad sides in WW1, it was simply just Empires fighting each other. And also no Holocaust in Germany, that happens in WW2. Germany in WW1 and Germany in WW2 are pretty different.
One of the saddest occurrence of WW1 is when young men and boys would sign up with their friends to fight together and be massacred. So you'd have villages and neighbourhoods where a lot of, if not all of the young men got wiped out.
Anastasia i think she was from Belgium 😂
What's America doing? Making the money from both sides. Through war bonds and stocks.
Just wanna point out the draft is still a thing in America. All 18 year old boys get a letter on their 18th birthday with instructions on how to sign up.
At my school the computer science teacher could often be found in the computer lab helping that days 18 year old sign up.
Will be girls too soon, true equality at last.
Yes i had to sign it as well.
WWII didn't happen because of the holocaust, it happened because Germany kept invading places (Poland being the last straw)
Award for most oversimplified reason for WW2 hehe like it
@@cubbykovu8955 Thank you 👍
Well one you have to keep in mind. America did not have an influence around the globe like we do now
My grandfather fought in WW1, survived but was gassed (chlorine). You may want to look up Florence Nightingale & the Crimean War. She established nursing but was also a mathematician & infographics (including popularising the Pie Chart).
Very good vid. Only really learned the basics on ww1 in school was mainly focused on ww2. Right here learning with ya from uk. 👍🇬🇧
You should totally do more of these!
People in general tend to forget that modern belgium only exsists as a country to act as a buffer between germany and france.............admitedly not a very effective buffer but still
I think you are confusing World Wars. You were referring to events in World War 2. This is World War 1
You are sadly confused between WW1 and WW2. American schooling..... fantastic.
While someone's digging another is shelling the enemy with canon. Britain still uses original canons from WW1 for ceremonial gun salutes in London. WW1 was a war of the railways as trench war fare only really worked because both sides could keep the trenches supplied with ammo and food. They say German spies just had to monitor Clapham junction in London to know when the next offensive was due to increased traffic to the front. The stalemate did not end until Britain created the first ever armoured tanks.
You guys in the comment section need to remember that Americans didn’t have the best kids tv show and best kids books ever created aka HORRIBLE HISTORIES to grow up with
Neither did i! No excuse. (I'm 53, so it'd been too late by decades for me)
@@AndrewHalliwell I'm not excusing her lol I trying to be lighthearted
It didn't mention that the heads of state for England germany and Russia were all cousins and that it was a family fall out xx
ww1: 1914-18 The "Triplice entente" were the one who provocked the war
ww2: 1939-45 The Axis powers were the one who provocked the war the germans didn't do the massive genocide in ww1 but in ww2
When you described your understanding at the beginning you were describing ww2 not ww1. Love your videos though! 🥰
2:27 that's... WW2
16:56 that does still exist
The leader of the German army was Kaiser wilhelm the second , in the beginning the British thought it would be over by Christmas so young people joined to meet new people and something to do and obviously earn money
They were killing “pedestrians” LMFAOOOO
11:20 "War is an advantage" 😂😂
Yes continue !
I don't know if you have read the book "War H
Orse" by Michael Morpurgo (I think !) Or watched the full length film of the same name. It is set in Was W1 & helps to really understand the stories of the men ( soldiers & civilians) who were involved back in the years between 1913 - to 1918. It in s well worth reading & / or watching. 🙂💕
trenches were used to stop either the enemy getting further to there objections and miners use to dig trenches as they were better at digging and many times they use to dig tunnels under the enemy trenches to disable them .
Even in British school I don't remember a lot about ww1. We learnt ancient Greeks, Egyptians, Romans & some of the Victorian era in primary school & learnt 1066 battle of Hastings, The Tudors, slavery from 1700s & ww2. So as a brit I'm also learning or relearning
Lord Kitchener said that part of the problem both sides faced was that nearly all the full time professional soldiers got killed during the first year of war, so by 1915 the armies were filled with raw untrained conscripts. This meant that the Generals couldn't use elaborate tactics, the soldiers on the ground would not have been able to execute any complex manoeuvres
Regarding the French uniform, yes it does seem absurd now but what you have to remember their hadn't been a war in Europe between 2 nations since 1870 and no Europe war in 99 years. The reason for all the colourful uniforms is partially due to a historical status but also so soldiers could recognise different regiments on the battlefield. Although the British in particular sussed it in the Boer war, the French hadn't yet so they were easy targets in early months. That explains the calamitous casualties in the early weeks.
When looking at how WW1 went it's important to remember that although technology had advanced greatly, warfare mostly hadn't, so they were still using outdated tactics that weren't effective against the newer armaments and technologies that were available.
Yes more history please I love it
People can still get drafted against their will in many countries. In Norway this is the case of for both men and women. In peacetime very few unwilling people needs to join the millitary (usually, if they force someone who is unwilling, it is because the person have some qualifications that the Norwegian armed forces want). But if a war would brake out in Norway, they would first send out those who already have millitary training, and they would start training up more people willing or unwilling in the ages 19-44 of both genders to strengthen the forces (Exept women born before January 1st 1997, this is because the law was changed very recently).
this might help you out so please don't take this the wrong way :-) almost all armies during the first world war had a conscription act in place for example able bodied men in Germany were supposed to serve a few years in the army then after they left were in reserved call up meaning in the event of war they were to return to the army if still of age. The only army that had no conscription at the beginning of the war was the British army where the old world mentality of war being an adventure or nationalistic pride meant thousands enlisted in droves. Conscription wasn't introduced until 1916 after the battle of the Somme where nearly 60,000 British soldiers were killed or wounded on the first day alone (1st of July 1916)
As for going around the trenches well both sides did try that in 1914. This is known as the race to the sea, however as they met each other they started digging more and more trenches which eventually did connect and they streched from the English Channel to the border with Switzerland
This is great but you are confusing Belgium in 1914 with Russia in 1917, World War 1 with World War 2 and muskets with bayonets (bayonets don't take long to reload),
You don’t reload bayonets at all, they’re a knife you put on the end of your sword for charges.
You should look at the war poets, Wilfred Owen, Siegfried Sassoon and Edmund Blunden.
Don't forget the Baldrick classic...
@@AndrewHalliwell Oh yes the classic but never to be forgotten the British Tommy's Poet, S Baldricks " Boom Boom Boom ".
Film recommendation: 1917
It does a really good job of showing what trench life and warfare was like towards the end of WW1
At the time of 1914 they had moved past barrel-loading civil war era rifles and had proper weaponry. Very rarely would a solider be carrying something other than a standard rifle
Omg my fav CZcamsr is reacting to my favourite CZcams channel! Check out oversimplified videos like ww2, Cold War and prohibition next! The editing is so 👌 and you also learn a lot from them (I did anyway) 💕
YES FAVOUR GO OFF
You should watch World War 1 1914, 1915, 1916, 1917, 1918 bit more detail in each
Ignore the really annoying people complaining and having a go at you all the time. You're amazing and seem like such a pure soul 💙 Nobody in the comments would have the balls to make videos like you do and neither would i to be honest so big respect to you for doing it and bringing joy to peoples lives that you dont even know
Watching this is like listening to the actual Donkeys in charge that sent the lions to their death. Just send in waves of men, whoops, the enemy have machine guns!
("Lions led by donkeys" is a phrase used to describe the British infantry of the First World War and to blame the generals who led them.)
Please continue
Most....most, not all, of the racial "purifying" you mentioned early in is actually from WW2(not that there were not racial tensions, etc. at this time as well, there was). As for Franz Ferdinand....I don't know I'd say he was a "good guy" as such, but the sad thing there is that he was actually one of the few voices in the Austro-Hungarian Empire at the time that was leaning toward more independence(at least a sort of local rule of internal affairs) for the Slavic people living in the Empire, so they kind of killed the one who was less against them, one of those historical ironies.
Hi favour
Your confusing ww1+ww2
It was ww2 that had the holocaust and areanism(sorry about the spelling)though it's nice to see an american willing to broaden their horizon with world history
It's "aryanism"
@@Silvia_Arienti thanks for the spell check
Something that may interest you is the huge amout of medical advancements that took place during and because of the first world war. Particualy the feild of cosmetic surgery saw big leaps forward.
Another point of issue is the 1918 spanish flu pandemic. This spread across the world through the artires of was, its control and treatment hindered by the war effort. called the spanish flu because spain wasnt at war and so the media reports of it werent censored in spain.
I wont spoil what this war did to the world but les just say it set the stage for many of the issues that would dominate the 20th centuary, some of which are still with us today. For instance the red zone in france; huge swaths of uninhabitable land destroyed by the war and choked full of poison, unexploded shells and dead bodies that where never recovered.
Virtually none of the frontline Conscripts had voting rights, so those Governments didn’t fear any backlash from the ballot box!
The draft is still a thing in the USA men when they turn 18 have to sign it, i had to as well. Great video by the way.
Louvain is one of the big university city's in Belgium. I study there
7:52 Louvain (aka Leuven) is a Belgian city.
When you mentioned Paris, Paris (and france) was actually taken over by Germany in ww2
You're getting your wars mixed up sweety! Bless!
WW2 was the war which had the most US involvement; but I'd argue WW1 was a much more important time in history.
In these few years the world changed completely and set the seeds for pretty much every conflict, tension and social upheaval since either through the action, or inaction of the waring powers.
Name a significant event, social change since 1918 and the root cause is pretty much these four years.
Vast swathes of current technology also stems back to this era as both sides tried to innovate for advantages.
The draft still exists today
Grand Duchess Anastasia was the daughter of the last Tsar of Russia ... Nicholas 2nd . The whole family were executed in 1918 by the Bolsheviks after the Russian revolution in 1917 which led to the decades of communism and the Soviet regime . The revolution led to Russia withdrawing from WW1 which meant the German army could redirect the troops that were fighting on the Russian front over to the Western front to fight the British , French and allies . Lenin returned from exile helped by the Germans to lead the revolution .
To understand the present and safeguard the future, we must understand the past.
Awww ignore the shade. You do you! I haven't got a clue about the American Civil war..... 🤷
This is a WORLD WAR as in the war to end all wars people should have at least a modicum of knowledge not just a war in a certain country
@@irons6229 she is making an effort to educate herself. More than a lot of people do. I don't think anyone should be shamed for not knowing things. Never too late to learn 😊
Ohhhh, only 3 minutes in and I'm going to the comment section to see the glorious chaos!!
The Trench's stretched from the English Channel to the Swiss Border 500 miles.
You say 'thank God you don't have the draft anymore'... actually all USA males have to register for the draft at 18 so you do. Its just the US government hasn't called anyone up since Vietnam, but all it takes is a single US President and an Executive Order...
In 1914 America hadn't done very much.
This video is part of a series I believe.. the war mentioned in this video is World War One,
not World War Two. The fallout, penalties and repatriation Germany had to pay were a major contributing factor that lead up to World War 2.
WW1 started because the World was divided into Empires each with allies and enemies/rivals so what started small spiralled into 'The War to end all Wars'. The Germans of the 1910's were not the Horrendous Nazi's of World War 2.
Yes between 1914-1918 they had machine guns, rifles, snipers, and artillery. The first day of The Battle of the Somme resulted in 57,470 British casualties. So yes Trench warfare was horrific, hundreds of thousands of soldiers died for very little distance gained. There are some battles where mere metres were made that had huge human cost.
If you get around to reacting to World War 2 videos. I thoroughly recommend The Fallen Of World War 2.. it really puts things into perspective if you've had an USA centric education.
czcams.com/video/DwKPFT-RioU/video.html
Some men were shamed into going to war, you were not a man of you did not apply. People would give the men who would not apply white flowers as a sign of shame and embarrassment.
That ww2 that you are talking about
Yeah sontforget 1900s very different time and morality and stuff
You do realize that these Oversimplified historic videos are parodies of actual events, correct?
In ww1 London was bomb by airship as the villain could not reach that far yet
How did you guys ever get to the moon...
Don't underestimate Americans 😌
No muskets at this point, full blown rifles.
Extra History's The Seminal Tragedy has a good background to WW1.
The draft actually does still exist
Some of the things you say - such as racial purity- relate to WW2 not WW1.
Russia has a huge land area but it's army was pretty inefficient back then. It didn't come up to expectation.
The Anastasia you mentioned was one of the Russian princesses. It was the Russian royal family that was massacred after the revolution in 1917.
When Germany invaded Belgium, some of the civilians resisted. They were often shot. They didn't behave well.
Germany had invaded and defeated in France in a matter of weeks back in 1870, so they were pretty confident they could do the same again.
I'm pretty sure ww1 started when a guy named Archie Bishop shot an ostrich because he was hungry
Watch ‘they shall not grow old’ by Peter Jackson. This will make you understand WWI a lot better
Try oversimplified WW2
