Meanwhile in 1925 a Greek officer's dog escaped and crossed the Bulgarian border, and the officer tried to grab it. The Bulgarians fired, sparking a Greco-Bulgarian war and Greece got to sofia

How come they always say "yes" after the other person says "my parents aren't home?"
WOOF In this case it seems USA and France are in a romantic relationship that theyre hiding from their parents. Why are they hiding it from their parents? I mean I can understand wanting to hide it from England but Francia doesn't even exist anymore.
As a brit, I only ever really feel patriotic when viewing our nations past. Say what you will about the morality of it but in the words of Dave Chapelle - "don't judge a photograph because it wasn't taken today". All that aside, over the course of the two videos I've gone from feeling slightly scorned by the Americans basically mugging off the British to kick things off (knowing too how it ends of course), to now feeling like the American victory in this war was not only absolutely well deserved, due to intelligent strategy and British ineptitude, but also that the manner of the victory speaks so much to how present day America holds itself. Listing them would be mundane, but just thinking about the parallels is facinating
The concept of “historical relevance” doesn’t make any sense when you’re talking about morales. Causing human suffering e.g colonialism, slavery, sexism, etc is objectively bad as are the people or nations who did those things. Be proud of your country for its technological genius or something not it’s all encompassing imperialism.

Well depends if the USA was completely neutral in WW2. Nazi Germany would have won.
@@jj6407 if the US stayed neutral, that would have affected events far before WWII. Not in the least that without the US, Germany might have come out on top in WWI, so Hitler might not have ever come to power.
That said, I do agree that - especially in today’s world - isolationism is a bad idea, and it’s good that the US hasn’t stayed neutral (even if I disagree with some of what we’ve done in other countries *cough* setting up puppet dictatorships *cough*).

It’s cool to see Cowpens mentioned in one of the battles in South Carolina. Growing up here, I learned that most of the stuff that we are taught in school is either state based or simplified, so I’m not sure how many ppl have heard of that particular battle.

In 1814 we took a little trip
Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip'
We took a little bacon and we took a little beans
And we caught the bloody British in the town of New Orleans
We fired our guns and the British kept a-comin'
There wasn't as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
We looked down a river and we see'd the British come
And there must have been a hundred of 'em beatin' on the drum

We stood behind our cotton bales and didn't say a thing
We fired our guns and the British kept a-comin'
There wasn't as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
Old Hickory said, "We could take 'em by surprise
If we didn't fire our muskets 'til we looked 'em in the eye"
We held our fire 'til we see'd their faces well
Then we opened up our squirrel guns and gave 'em
Well, we fired our guns and the British kept a-comin'
There wasn't as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
Yeah, they ran through the briers and they ran through the brambles
And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go
They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
We fired our cannon 'til the barrel melted down
So we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round
We filled his head with cannonballs 'n' powdered his behind
And when we touched the powder off, the gator lost his mind
We fired our guns and the British kept a-comin'
There wasn't as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
Yeah, they ran through the briers and they ran through the brambles
And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go

Global superpower was around the Queen Victoria's reign. So, that's kinda right to do, because one followed the other.

I went to college in Williamsburg, VA and there was a prank among students to take freshman friends to see the wonder of “Cornwallis’s cave,” one of many nearby colonial US sights. The prank was for everyone to hype the cave as a must-see visit, only to show up and find a barely 6 foot unfinished dent roughly carved into a rock wall to store supplies, littered with straws and beverage cans, with a gate at the front and a “Historic Virginia” sign next to it noting that it was unlikely Cornwallis was ever there (the rest of Colonial Virginia sites are pretty amazing though, and I would highly recommend Williamsburg as a nice historic vacation spot….just not Cormwaliis’Cave).

His greatest accomplishments was simply helping to pave the way for all other leaders and how they should act. Creating laws, leading the military, and protecting rights.
Basically he his celebrated the same reason we celebrate the other founding fathers. He helped establish the foundation by which the country grew and evolved, he is the standard by which other leaders would compare themselves.
@@darling9413 Thank you. So that's why. Now that I think about it, it is kind of impressive despite his flaws.
@@johndemesa5196 It was a flawed time, but despite it all they worked with the best of intentions. They certainly did better than many other Revolutions. For example the French and the multiple Russian Revolutions. Now to be fair those situations had different circumstances, but still often revolutions like these can end up one step back.
Britain: Let’s have good clean fight
America: Agreed
France: Y’all mind if I third party

Fun fact about the siege of Yorktown: The French had portable furnaces and used it to heat up cannonballs so they had fire cannons and used it to destroy many British ships in Yorktown.
Interesting
Damn.
"French portable furnaces"
They originally planned to use them to bake bread, didn't they?

Ben Franklin: "You seem to be under the impression that those are two separate things."
Brilliant.
My favorite quote from someone's commentary on Ben Franklin: "There's Diplomacy by Night, and then there's being the Dos Equis guy."
And it's France. They are not separate things more often than not.
Me: Great story, OverSimplified! By the way, what happened with "that" man after the war?

Man that is so sad that the slaves were left out of the Declaration. They could’ve skipped 200 years of slavery. So sad 😢
Wtf do you mean 200 years of slavery it was 90 years
"John Paul Jones is handsome, Scottish, and absolutely insane."
Revered by the Navy to this day.
Any ship named John Paul Jones has a tendency to find itself up a certain creek without a paddle and still come out on top, this proves that JPJ is still tearing it up on the seas even today.

@Insomnia Blaze France would've been a super power if you didn't funded the whole of europe to attack us 6 fucking times just in fear that ideas might spread to your old monarchy. like, freedom you know..
@@evryatis9231 Im pretty sure Britain's monarchy at the time was much more modern than all other monarchys at the start of the 19th century with the kings power being limited. And napoleon going around subjugating other countries isnt exactly freedom. Britain was fighting for other countries freedom from france
@@piggysew797 Ehm? I dont know what you mean, when we annexed the netherlands, every citizen was equal, and freedom was introduced. And when we took croatia when we defeated austria for the 300000th time, it was the first time in these lands that every citizen was equal. (And after we got defeated, every citizen became a serf once again, but lets forget about that)
So, no.
Wow, big brain time.
And if the Brits just excepted Britain as there name instead of the United kingdom, Us Irish would have the rest of our country back and the Scottish would still have a country.
Amazing video. Videos of channel helps linking so many little historical anecdotes together and interesting✨😎
I like your videos a lot. They give me so much information. Keep up the great work

US to France: If it weren't for us in WWII y'all would be speaking German
France to US: If it weren't for us in your WoI you wouldn't exist
ww2:soviets were already at the gates of poland before usa landed in normandy all their involvment changed was that not whole europe was communist satelitr
ww1:if not us involvment ithe war would most likely end with whitepeace since both sides werent close to winning and were stuck in line of trenches with no food and similiar casualties
@@Soap.-- WW1 was already over by the time the US arrived and no one wanted them because they were terrible soldiers.
WW2, the war was already over after the Russians took out the 6th army and the British took Africa, winning air superiority and already having a few enigma machines, knowing their enemy's plans and that they didnt have much left. The Americans only quickened the war, although it was already over. Britain also caught up and took over industrial production, and started hunting U boats with the invention of SONAR.
@@D1str1ct thats basically what i said but ww1 would just end with white peace in ww2 as u said their involvment didntchange anything
@@Soap.-- Unlikely. The unfunded, unfed, and all around unorganized army would see the United States likely end up as being no more than a failed experiment in the annals of history. Plus, if it was white peace, what result would that even be? I would imagine it would just end up with Great Britain retaking the colonies, although with less taxes.
I'm pretty sure no one says that.
But then again I have metal plates planted in my skull so how the fuck should I know.

Oversimplified: I'm going to only talk about the really important stuff, so that there's still room for jokes and so that your eyes don't glaze over like it's history class.
The reason you will not learn it is because a great deal of it is FALSE!!!!

Britains when seeing John Paul Jones:
_Oh no, he Scottish_
Sophia Nguyen Englishmen don’t have as much of a problem with the Scottish as much as we the Irish. 😂 If the Revolutionary War was a tad bit farther back in time than it was to the point where our Celtic ancestors still ruled Ireland, it would’ve looked pure bad for them. That lad Oliver Cromwell would’ve had wee of a chance.
