- Sometimes misunderstandings happen - and that's normal. But when those misunderstandings or mistakes happen on a global scale between leaders or warring nations, they're not so normal. There have been plenty of historical mix-ups that led to terrible things: death, destruction, and world war. Some crises were averted, others were not. These historical snafus have shaped the way our world works, and have some huge historical consequences.

So glad they brought back the man with the golden voice.
The Golden tonsils that makes u feel at home, relaxed & tolerable.... & The way he delivers his smartarse/sarcastic one liners hit's perfectly as the other two, as much as they tried just didn't have that comedic timing & delivery. The other two were good, they did cop many negative comments which wouldn't have been great for their confidence & trying harder with their delivery was making it worse. But as the saying goes:
*If it ain't broke then don't fix it*
Good morning Weird World! Good morning to everyone!
Good afternoon
Mixing up the toothpaste and the Preparation H ended my world for a while.
I worked in homecare..a staff.mixed up preparation h and denture glue once..the daughter that called was cackling i couldnt hold it in...

@@djsedam123 ...if only I could.
This is why my car battery has a sticker that reads "don't drink contents "
Bet you could whistle really good😂 hope you feel better now
The US in addition to not invading Cuba agreed to remove its missiles from Turkey aimed at the Soviets. Left that part out. So much for accuracy
Ya, we don't talk about that part
Franz Ferdinand was not the younger brother of the Emperor Franz Joseph. He was his nephew, the son of the Emperor's brother Karl Ludwig.
When I was about 15 or 16, I had just crawled into bed when I heard the very loud blood curdling scream coming from my parent’s bathroom. Their bedroom was on the opposite side of the house and both my parent’s door and my door was closed. I jumped out of bed and ran down the hallway and into their bedroom (which was connected to the master bedroom suite). My mom was freaking out and holding her eye. I kept asking her what was wrong. She finally answered and said that she had her glasses off and had mixed up her eye drops and her bottle of styptic pencil (it’s a liquid that stops small bleeding injuries and hurts like hell). She had put a couple of drops of the styptic pencil in her eye and was in severe pain. I didn’t have my drivers license yet so I got her a cool wet washcloth and threw a jacket on (I was wearing pajamas on. I ran across the street and got the neighbor to come over and drive her to the hospital. She came back sometime in the early morning. I don’t know when because I was asleep, I just know she was home when I got up to go to school. Meanwhile, I had to call my dad (he was on a work trip) to see if he could come home early. Then later, I had to call my mom’s boss and explain the situation and why she wouldn’t be in for an unknown amount of time. Her boss was doubtful, but came over later that night and saw for herself. My mom had to wear a patch over her eye for about 3 weeks until everything healed up. My dad threw the styptic pencil away and forbid my mom from ever getting another one.
Thanks again for another great video! Love you creative quips
Franz Ferdinand was the nephew and not the younger brother...
I knew that was wrong, lol. What a weird mistake!
@MatthewTheWanderer It really is a concerning mistake to me cause all I'm wanting to think now is what else are they getting wrong? I need a new job, pay me to research weird history!! 😅
@@thevirgog2012 I catch them making "minor" mistakes like at least a couple of times in almost every video! I, too, would love to have a job fact checking for them!
Another great vid by Weird History
Could you please do a weird history on how samurai went number 2?
I’m watching Shogun at the moment and you never see anyone going number 2
So far you only see someone going number 1 on someone’s head.
Friendly fire isn’t.
Amazing vids
These events are tragic but the narrator made each funny to watch and listen to.
Thanks for this! 🤭
"It was 'some pig'" Yes indeed 👍 Bravo
King Henry II actually said "What miserable drones and traitors have I nourished and promoted in my household, who let their lord be treated with such shameful contempt by a low-born clerk!" though the meaning was the same in that he was frustrated with the Arch Bishop.
So the sub story is basically The Movie Red October With Sean Connery Alec Baldwin sam neil larry Ferguson an James Earl Jones!
There was a battle in the Philippines where the Samurais went to war against Aztecs, you should make a video about that
kind of disappointed they didnt include a clip from hey arnold in the story about the us and britain almost at war over a pig
Oh my God, I was just going to say that!!!
Franz Ferdinand wasn't the brother, but rather the nephew. Don't mean to nit-pick bc I do love your vids 🤗
Well, as you ask for subjects for new videos, here goes one: the true history of how the idea for the Original Kung Fu TV series *was not* stolen from Bruce Lee. Yup, there were different degrees of racism involved in the events, but the chronology of how Spielman-Friedlander wrote the first script for a film feature and it ended up as a TV series starring David Carradine because he was a better actor for that role is well documented in Matthew Polly's "Bruce Lee: A Life," and even in Wikipedia. It's a quite interesting story.
3:23 Speaking of chaffeurs...
Duckworth is the butler and chaffeur in the tv series Ducktales.
He is one of the best characters of the show.
History is the story of events, with praise or blame. History is not the past but a map of the past, drawn from a particular point of view, to be useful to the modern traveller.
Please look into the Armenian genocide
Day 3 of asking when the next series of Timeline is going to come out. (Hoping it’s going to be 2000-2010)
7:11 Wow, what a miscommunication massacre!
Could you do one on Honey (from beginning to now)
I second that.
Contrary to popular belief, Princip was not eating a sandwich. Serbian Delis didn't even serve sandwiches at the time.
A battle against nobody and a bunch of ppl died that’s crazyzy😂
Better luck this time I hope.
Turkey bacon is good man cmon
The pig war is so ridiculous 🙄
1:57 The king's "utterance" is like a veiled threat to those who refuse to act on a silent command.
If they don't get rid of the "problem," then there is no guarantee the king will not see them as a problem later...
11:08 X-Men: First Class (2011), fantastic film!
The Hunger Games films just dropped on Netflix also!
No idea who that “beck” lady is
A+ video!
Fascinating topic and history, disaster can escalate so fast!
😳
The Soviet subs around Cuba in the Cuban missile crisis did not have nuclear missiles they had nuclear torpedoes. If they launched them, they would have shot them against the US aircraft carriers in the area they could not have launched an attack on a US city.
Also the agreement stipulated that U.S. nuclear weapons were to be removed from Turkey I believe.
Well the Cuban crisis was ended when we agreed to remove our nuclear missiles from Turkey. But close enough.
Bro you could narrate anything with interesting associated pictures
0:36 Watched the music video "Mixed Bizness" by Beck, awesome video!
Beck was my avatar name when I played Star Wars: Battlefront.
Eating ANOTHER Weird video!
Eating Vienna Sausages*†...while watching this Weird History video!
That is Boy Scout food!
* Inspired from the Weird History video "How Has SPAM Stayed So Popular?"
† The 4.6 oz can now has one of those pull tabs (no can opener necessary).
3:08 I really want to read all of the Canterbury Tales!
We read a couple of the tales in my high school English class.
Moreabout king Henry 8 sexcapadeds
0:01 Per my previous post...actually I think I was confusing two similar-looking cars I had...
The car at the end of the music video "get him back" by Olivia Rodrigo is a 1991 Buick Century.
It is EXACTLY the same car I had throughout nursing school, I actually dropped it off at the scrapyard the day I graduated!
0:50 That reminds me of the pile of machetes left at some conflict-ridden place in Africa.
Some wealthy financier sent an entire pile of free machetes to just sit out in the street.
For the violent locals, it was like starting a time bomb.
7:45 A pig drama...governor Jim Pillen would love this!
He has declared National Pig Day and even has an office pig (it is a metal pig named "Petunia").
0:01 That wrecked car looks like my 1986 Chevy Celebrity did after I hit a deer!
My 1986 Chevy Celebrity looks almost identical to the car Olivia Rodrigo is sitting in at the end of her music video "get him back!"
1:21 It blows my mind that there are "justice" systems that only apply to certain members that participate in them.
Justice - The principle of fairness that like cases should be treated alike.
(Collins dictionary).
I am going to watch the videos:
x How a Soviet Soldier Saved the World From Annihilation (1st recommendation, second time watching)
x Everything The US Government Has Planned For Surviving A Nuclear Attack (2nd recommendation, second time watching)
x Everything That Had To Go Wrong For Chernobyl To Happen
x Everything That Went Wrong During the Bay of Pigs Invasion
This is my favorite narrator, but I can't help but laugh at him saying "by-standards" instead of "bystanders" when talking about a grenade missing Franz Ferdinand's vehicle & hitting the crowd instead. Bystanders are people who are standing nearby something that happens- hence bystanders. Apparently many people make this mistake, but I just don't get it. 🤔
0:19 Back in the Gen X Days...the previous generations were notorious for having no diplomatic skills.
If the average person from those generations tried to be diplomatic there would be WW3 in less than 60 seconds!
Their "conflicts" were almost exclusively about self-intererested matters of no importance.
You have zero idea what you're talking about.
@@THE-X-Force You are a PERFECT example of what they were like, it's almost like they are typing your responses!
@@THE-X-Force It appears that you are siding with the people that are going to be blamed for losing the entire country.
@@btetschnerAmazing. You know all about me from my 1 comment. Right now there's 47 comments on this video .. and SEVENTEEN of them are from *_YOU_* .. I don't know if you're drunk or just lonely .. but maybe take a nap and reconsider how you spend your life.
@@THE-X-Force You have already chose your side and you went out of your way to confirm that.
You're mad at yourself for always taking the cowardly way out of everything.
There are consequences and you are going to pay the piper.
