  1. Man if Columbus could conquer entire islands with only 8 pigs just think what 30-50 feral hogs could do. Also... Sorry about the wall.
    10000
  2. And don't forget that Frederick's relationship with his father was SO bad that he wrote in his will that he wanted to be buried with his greyhounds, instead next to his father
    9100
  3. Ah yes, the least massacrery massacre that ever massacred.
    8300
  4. And people say capture the flag is an unrealistic game mode.
    7200
  5. I absolutely love the political neutrality in this series, you are doing a good job at making both sides sound reasonable.
    6900
  6. After rewatching the Catherine the Great episode, I can see why him and Catherine did connect well.
    6900
  7. my pastor LITERALLY believed the verse stating that "no man will know the day or the hour" of the 2nd coming. He said that anytime someone claimed to know the day the world would end, God would change it to another day even if he originally planned to end it on that day. Just to spite them for being a little too ambitious 😂
    6200
  8. The story of Akhenaten's attempted erasure makes you wonder how many people were successfully erased from all of history.
    5900
  9. How fitting, that a bear nearly started a war with the USSR.
    5700
  10. This woman is the closest thing to a D&D Bard that has ever graced this planet.
    5700
  11. Greek Mythology: "I'm the weirdest of all mythologies on the world!" Japanese Mythology: "Hold my sake..."
    5600
  12. "Not quite empress yet" I suppose you could say that I'm . . . not empressed.
    5400
  13. Anyone thinking about a certain band’s famous song for this series? 😏😏😏😏
    5300
  14. The person who actually opened the wall came to our school. The Borderguard that was in the video came to our school and talked about his life and that moment his name is Harald Jäger and is actually a nice dude
    5200

  19. “What a wonderful time to be alive!” “Hey, the Yellow River flooded again and destroyed all of your crops... and also, we’re being raided by nomadic tribesmen...and also, this period of Chinese history may be entirely mythical, so you may not even exist.” “Well, that’d certainly explain the laser eyes.”
    4500
  20. Frederick the Great introduced us Germans to potatoes, what a fucking legend
    4500
  21. I have struck again!
    4500
  22. Why are these horses so adorable?!?
    4400
  23. It isn't surprising Joan didn't consider herself French, most people didn't. For most people their frame of reference was the village they lived in or, at the most, the local lord. The idea of nationalism and nation-states wouldn't become a thing for about 400 years.
    4300
  24. You had me at Pirate Queen. Well, you had me at Extra History, but you know what I mean.
    4300
  25. This is certainly a different view of Genghis Khan, because this doesn't sound like the brutal barbarian conqueror Hollywood makes him out to be, but rather one of the greatest leaders in history
    4300
  26. I like barging into videos. They never see it coming. Great video guys!
    4200
  27. If you're going to ask us to sing along, you really should put the lyrics at the bottom complete with bouncing ball.

  28. Chinese Emperor: “KHAAAAAAAAAN!” shakes fist
    4200
  29. One of my favourite anecdotes about Ford is how Bonnie and Clyde actually wrote him fan-mail whilst in the middle of their crime spree - complimenting him on the quality of his automobiles.
    4100
  30. I never thought I'd be so fascinated in a young Bismarck. Fantastic video!
    4100
  31. I shudder to think about how many magnificent mustaches they had to draw for this episode.
    4000
  32. feeling cute, might purge the priesthood and start a monotheistic sun cult later idk
    4000
  33. Clearly, she was an open-world RPG protagonist.
    4000

    3800
  37. "in addition to descriptions of food, agriculture, religious life and court processions, he often remarked on how attractive he found the local ladies" Good grief, history stole another trope from anime.
    3700
  38. "Burn all my letters" was the Regency equivalent of "delete my browser history."
    3700
  39. I was terrified you guys were ending the channel entirely 😭
    3700
  40. >Hears story of dead warlock terriorizing town >walks by graveyard and and hears spooky noise "PRIVET COMRADE!!"

  42. Joan of arc strategic guide: Get em If failure GET EM
    3500
  43. Yeah. Those previous emperors were not killed by Diocletian. The same way Diocletian was not holding a sword against the narrator's neck during this episode.
    3500
  44. Everything in history is interconnected.
    3500
  45. I can't imagine how many lives Lu Hao Dong saved in burning that book. The man knew that the revolution was bigger than himself. Such a sacrifice in the end.
    3500
  46. John Brown's goal to start a slave rebellion failed spectacularly, but is goal to become a martyr probably succeeded to an greater extent than he could have hoped.
    3500
  47. Freedom* *Terms and Conditions apply
    3400
  48. So this is the historical version of "be gay, do crimes"?
    3300
  49. I feel like Joan would be a really interesting person to just sit down and have a conversation with. (If Bismarck's invited, even better.)
    3300
  50. Napoleon's words are truly honorable. He saw Frederick atleast his equal if even better.
    3300
  51. I knew people who liked math were cultists
    3300
  52. Joan had a plan. Joan always had a plan. Then again, that's to be expected when your plan is always "get 'em."

  53. When you forget to lock the door and an alternate history takes place.
    3200
  54. honestly who needs to be called something like "the great", when "THE EARTHSHAKER" is avaiable

  55. Even with 9/11, there were thousands who survived because regulations like these made it easy for them to evacuate the towers before they fell.
    3200
  56. Wow, I'm actually really impressed with Extra History for differentiating the different Kingdoms, Song, Jurchen Jin and Tangut empires and not just lumping it into "China" which gives off the misleading sense of that it was a unified nation. And Calling "Beijing" by its real name at the time. Not even BBC documentaries gave off these details. Honestly good work you guys. These kingdoms constantly plotted against each other, much to the benefit of Genghis Khan.
    3200
  57. No matter how strict or regimented, never doubt the power of teenagers finding a way to get into a drunken debauchery.
    3200
  58. "Our prisons are overcrowded and we can't send prisoners to America anymore. Should we stop locking people up for low-level financial debts?" "Nah, let's colonize Australia and dump them there."
    3200
  59. So in other words this was a major STEPPE in forming the Mongol Empire?
    3100
  60. Fighting against slaveowners- terorrism Beating a defenceless person with a cane- gantlemans way of dealing with enemies
    3100
  61. It's crazy how Frederick fulfilled his fathers dreams, without being the son he wanted.
    3100
  62. I wrote an essay for university on how the lead up to Pearl Harbour began with Theodore Roosevelt's arbitration of the Russo-Japanese war. I got a C because the professor disagreed, said I pulled my ideas out of context, and that I should have just focused on the Japanese invasion of China and the trade embargoes. I mentioned everything in this video, especially the Treaty of Versailles and the unequal naval treaties. After watching this, I've never felt so vindicated in my life.
    3100
  63. Moments in history I somewhat guiltily wish I was there for: - the drunken food fight involving Temujin and the Jurkin
    3000
  64. "I didn't have any of my rivals assassinated, they just happened to all drop dead around me. Convenient, right?"
    3000
  65. I have a mouth and ice cream.
    3000
  66. Interesting to note: some legends suggest that although everything else burned on the stake, Joan's heart refused to do so.
    3000
  67. Fun Fact: Harlan Ellison co-wrote the 1995 video game based of the book and even voiced AM. I'm honestly surprised you guys didn't us the game's "Hate Monologue" audio for the intro.
    3000
  68. I'm sure that the history of England settles down and becomes very normal after all this.
    3000

    3000
  70. This guy's life sounds like a D&D campaign
    3000
  71. Additional fun fact: Al-Khwarizmi didn't only write the book that eventually gave us the word "algebra", his name itself is the origin of the word "algorithm". So yeah. The guy left his mark.
    2900
  72. Wow is this Extra Epedemics
    2900
  73. A Mughal Sultan sends African-Indian soldiers to fight an English merchant company which in turn sends Japanese Ronin to fight a Dutch merchant company which sends pirates to fight Portugese merchants in India...the Age of Exploration was wild
    2800
  74. Joan's flag raised on the battle field: Land morale +50% Infantry combat ability +50% Siege ability +100% Tactics -100% (GET 'EM!!!)
    2800
  75. so... France was "cursed by god"... but then god sends a maiden to save France
    2800
  76. I sorta saw this coming. Good move, I think. Splitting into history was a bold move and took off wonderfully.
    2700
  77. This video wouldn't exist without my support, praise me
    2700
  78. Praise the Sun too far.
    2700

    2600
  80. This is the point where we realize that The Epic of Gilgamesh is just a time traveler's DnD notes. I mean Gilgamesh is a Barbarian/Cleric multi class and Enkidu is a Druid. They even act like every party I've played with.
    2600
  81. Heh. You guys did a video on Tulip mania just as the NFT market is crashing hard. I can't help but love the timing.
    2600
  82. Its really entertaining to see how the artists try to depict arm dismemberment in an art style that has no arms.
    2600
  83. A sign you know things have gotten out of hand is when a secret society start having secret societies within secret societies
    2600
  84. Can we just appreciate for a minute how brave some of these explorers who crossed the desert must have been? Five hundred miles with just one oasis, sending a scout ahead who might not even make it to arrange for water to be brought out to meet the caravan, oof .-.
    2600
  85. So, this is why Queen's song says "Nothing really matters, anyone can see, Nothing really matters to me..."
    2600
  86. Euclid: Parallel lines never cross. Lobachevski: What if you draw them on a non-2d surface? Everyone: Duuuuuuuude.
    2600
  87. I would PAY to see a series focused on this period of Japanese history since everyone can agree that Japan catching up with the western world is such a short amount of time is nothing to sneeze at, so seeing internal problems and how the people dealt with them would be a treat. Also, love your videos
    2600
  88. TFW this story is so dense that many of the unnamed assassins and shinsengumi members mentioned here are actually famous historical figures in Japan, hahaha
    2500
  89. I think Ford is a prime example of the importance of, when learning history, not letting the good outshine the bad, but also not letting the bad overshadow the good. To truly understand we examine the whole.
    2500
  90. As the son of a Polish Immigrant who lived in Poland for a few years, I really appreciate the videos you guys are making about Poland's sacrifices made during WWII. More people need to know about these events in my opinion.
    2500
  91. The story of Frederick convincing the Prussians to eat potatoes is a wonderful story that deserves a short of its own.
    2500
  92. Has anyone in Greek mythology had a kid prophesied to kill them and looked at all the examples of how it backfires and just goes 'well I'll raise him as best I can and hope he doesn't kill me...' I mean has anyone tried that option yet?
    2500
  93. As a black man well acquainted with this story and many others, it takes a high amount of emotional strength to get through this video without wanting to tear up. Thank you for taking the time to educate more viewers in this amazing community.
    2500
  94. You can never expect how EH explains history. It is impossible to guess a wrestling match is how they chose to explain the third Silesian War.
    2500
  95. I don't know what Euclid's power level is, but if you tell me his height and what angle he stands at I'm pretty sure I can figure it out.
    2400
  96. Sorry, France, your Maid was moved to another castle... How ironic (and sad) end of career for a warrior maid: been trapped in a tower, like a princess in distress.
    2400

    2200
  108. Remember friends: join your local unions. United we bargain, divided we have spies find out you were drinking on your own time and cut your pay.
    2200
  109. What i love about this channel is that they cover thing that we most likely wont know about, instead of following well known stories.
    2200
  110. Its crazy that the more you learn about the Confederacy, how maniacal they really were, and how its good they only lasted basically 5 years
    2200
  111. The more you learn about Arthurian legend, the less of a parody Monty Python and the Holy Grail looks like.
    2200
  112. Our hero finds himself in a Delhi-cate position?
    2200

    2100
  117. “I summon…Polymorph of the Arcane Goddess!” “I summon Just Kick the Fucker.”
    2100
  118. Nice to see Red and Blue drawn in a different style to the one in which they're usually drawn. :)
    2100
  119. So thats what causes minecraft scary cave noises
    2100
  120. Jamukha's "come at me bro" hand gesture MUST become a meme. Or at the very least become prized merchandise
    2100
  121. Ex Comm was about nukes and not aliens? what is this blasphemy
    2100
  122. The answer is always yes, especially if it's your wife.
    2000
  123. Geez. If this were a fictional story instead of real life, I'd be pissed at all the ridiculous coincidences. XD
    2000
  124. you guys draw horses so cute. Horse plushy any time soon?
    2000

    2000
  127. well let's be honest, if your dad has a snake-room, you might aswell have an anti-snake-scarf
    2000
  128. You know for all the flak John gets, considering his arguably most enduring legacy is as the villain of Robinhood, it's hard to really blame him when you know the whole story. He basically spent his life being passed over and humiliated in favor of his brothers despite the fact that he was in some ways the most dutiful son since he never rose against his father, especially when he had the least to lose and most to gain by doing so.
    1900
  129. So that's how those 30-50 hogs got here.
    1900
  130. OK I know one of these Pinkerton men: Where is Booker DeWitt?
    1900

    1900
  132. Dear people who complain about the Greeks' skin colour, War in this era happens in the summer, and Greek soldiers train outside basically everyday. Greece is a very sunny place and as a Greek i can confirm that in the summer, many Greeks (lol not myself, i'm like of the whitest whites) achieve a tan of this colour. Stop beeing so butthurt. Many Thanks.
    1900
  133. On one hand, I feel like this would be humiliating for West Point, but they have to at least give the cadets credit for being able to fully arm themselves and fortify the college in a drunken stupor.
    1900
  134. "Scott, we're gunna need to you illustrate a bunch of gods spitting berries into a bowl that manifests another god. I'll check back in a couple hours to see what you came up with. Oh and hows the drawing of a god weaving the literal fabric of time coming?"
    1900
  135. I wanna state for the record that having Henry get a son heir almost as soon as Louis divorced Elanor must have stung like an attack from a swarm of giant Asian hornets!
    1900
  136. Of course sword duels are banned, everyone knows duels are done with children's card game.
    1900
  137. I was only taught some of John Brown's raid while in school and this series was my first time learning about his methods and reasons. Now that I know, I can get behind the notion that "Battle Hymn of the Republic" be made into a secondary national anthem alongside the Star Spangled Banner.
    1900
  138. Wait wait, the Persians had WAR ELEPHANTS?! Why was I not told of this!
    1900

  140. My face when me and the lads break into Olive Garden and lick all the pans
    1800
  141. It's really very interesting to see how religions and cultures syncretised throughout the Islamic world through the eyes of a Muslim scholar.
    1800
  142. Samson; known for his strength, not his wisdom or intelligence.
    1800
  143. "Finally, I have defeated my half brother and the Empire is mine-" "NOBODY EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION!"
    1800
  144. Assassin’s Creed players : “Hey, I’ve seen this one !”
    1800
  145. This episode ending by calling back to "a boy who hated horses" is brilliant. Thanks guys.
    1800
  146. Fun mythological fact: Here in Brazil we know the legend of Boitatá, which literally means "Fire Serpent" in tupi language. However, the portuguese settlers associated "Boi" not with serpents, but with oxes. With result, the Boitatá usually mixes serpentine and cattle aspects, sometimes being represented as a big fire snake with bull horns.
    1800
  147. And then everything changed when a young peasant girl attacked.
    1800
  148. what an awesome prequel episode to the opium wars! great episode!
    1800
  149. I absolutely love the updated full series. It’s your decision if you want to do more of it. Seriously, I like the full length videos since I get a full unstopped series of it
    1800
  150. those who don't learn their history are doomed to repeat it, and those who do are doomed to watch other people repeating it...
    1800

    1700
  154. Obviously when Bloody Mary appears, he'll say "Please state the nature of the medical emergency!". She's a disembodied healer after all.
    1700
  155. "This is not usurpation, this is a Restoration" - Every coup leader, ever.
    1700
  156. I think "emotional rollercoaster" describes this one pretty well.
    1700
  157. To those who complain the Chinese pronunciation, please understand that there isn't a single "Chinese Language", at least not yet. This is a story happened in places around Canton, where one kind or another variants of Cantonese was, and still is, used. As a native Cantonese speaker, I think Dan's pronunciation is pretty good, but Anglicised, like how we normally say Cantonese names in an English context.
    1700
  158. Apologies to ALL for my pronunciation on these names! Lil tried her best to coach me through it, but a Linguist I am not. <3
    1700
  159. "For every quality you learn about Frederick you like, there is one that you dont" Almost like people in history books are actual people!
    1700
  160. Given the introduction about historical records, I will be very interested for Lies and hearing where this series' source material came from.
    1700

    1700
  162. The discovery was wonderful for the kids but imagine how the parents must have felt? Probably one of the greatest days of their lives. Imagine the dread they must have felt knowing their kid had what was basically a death sentence
    1700
  163. I have a Spanish friend who jokes that there's two tipes of European food. The civilized one that cooks in olive oil and drinks wine, and the barbarian that cooks in butter and drinks beer.
    1700
  164. Frances Perkins? The Frances Perkins? The first woman to serve in the US cabinet? Now there's a person I'm sure could make an interesting EH series.
    1700
  165. "how'd you guys meet?" "Well he shot me with an arrow and cut the ocean in half so he could chase me all the way home." How romantic!!
    1700
  166. Even though Frederick published his work as the "Anti-Machiavel," ironically enough I'd argue that whole bit about preemptive "wars of interest" is the type of pragmatic rulership that Machiavelli would actually endorse
    1700
  167. Hey everyone. This is Nick DeWitt, the artist. I just wanted to say I'm really happy you enjoyed it as much as you did. I put a tremendous amount of effort into this one. I've been excited about this episode for a long while and I'm glad to finally share it with all of you.
    1700
  168. In the battle of Patay, which was briefly mentioned here, the English weren't startled by a deer, they saw a deer and they shot it with their longbows, and made a ruckus about it. The french scouts heard it, and they told Joan. She then took an unusual military decision. She sent her knights ahead to meet the English in battle, leaving the infantry behind. This left the french with a disadvantage in numbers of 3 to 1, whereas otherwise they would have had the numerical advantage. However, this allowed theknights to teach the englishmen much faster, before they had fortified the field with stakes. The result is often called "reverse Agincourt", a scenario where the french cavalry charge worked as intended, because the English hadn't had the time to fortify. The English longbowmen were slaughtered, for minimal French loses. The English lost all their longbowmen and would never use them against France again, as it would take a generation before new longbowmen could be trained. They would be defeated again at Formigny and Chatillon, and then they would never again have serious plans for continental European territorial gains again.
    1700
  169. Omg could you belive how diferent the world would be if the mali empire had managed to settle in south america before the europeans?
    1700
  170. This is so intense, considering this happened just some 50 years ago it's still scary how close it all came to midnight. Thanks for this Extra Credits, I was waiting excitedly for your new series

  198. I watched a documentary regarding this incident and other similar factory fire tragedies a long time ago. Those who jumped off the building from the fire weren't necessarily trying to survive. They just wanted to end it quicker. Some reports state they might have wanted to make sure their loved ones could still identify their bodies rather than being burned beyond recognition. I felt sick. Imagine the despair in order to make that decision.
    1500
  199. Very controversial about Ford calling past history ficures meaningless, while at the same time his favorite Model-T was becoming more and more outdated. People wanted new cars with more luxury and his car did not offer that luxury. And ironically he also became more and more outdated.

  201. Hi everyone! My name is Bob Whitaker and I wrote this series on Cleopatra. I'm really excited to see this final episode published. This episode, focused on historiography, is the entire reason I wanted to do this series to begin with. My hope is that Episode 5 continues the discussion of why Cleo's story gets told the way that it usually gets told, and how that story has changed over time (particularly in the last couple of decades). I hope you enjoy it! Also, I've enjoyed reading your comments on the series as a whole, and I know Rob has got a Lies episode planned. Looking forward to seeing those questions as well!

  207. Most historians focus mainly on human events, and ignore the broader macrohistorical forces that can shape our lives like climate or disease. Kudos to you Extra History for covering the Little Ice Age.
    1400
  208. The book of Judges is akin to the Age of Heroes in Game of Thrones. It was the period that gave us legendary heroes like Gideon and Samson. However, if you read the book as a whole, you realize that the main theme is deterioration. The people continuously disobey God while the heroes themselves are progressively corrupt, eventually culminating in the genocidal Benjamite War. Samson, as the last Judge before said war, is in fact the most morally-corrupt Judge in the book. Most of the better known Judges were actually horrible people. The whole book was written to validate the need for a united kingdom. "In those days there was no king in Israel, everyone did what was right in his own eyes."

  211. The character dynamics in here are really interesting. Sam makes a mistake and begs forgiveness, which he gets. Zal gives Rudabeh's servants jewels and a message, and the servants don't immediately scheme to undercut her somehow. He also passes his tests with no divine help, and Rudabeh's disapproving father doesn't back out of the deal. I get the feeling that if this were, say, a Greek myth, half the people involved would be dead after a whole bunch of lies and miscommunication.

  222. If I could venture a guess, I would say she realized the only thing stronger than a powerful nation at the time, was the Catholic church. So she worked really hard to get on their good side and make them the ultimate allies for her people. It's really sad she had to sacrifice her beliefs and traditions for the safety of her people. But whatever it takes seemed like her motto.

  243. [Long Post Ahead] Hi everyone! I’m Rob Rath, lead writer for Hunting the Bismarck. Because sponsored episodes don’t have a LIES episode, the EH crew decided the best thing would be for me to write them here in the comments. EPISODE I: THE PRIDE OF GERMANY • BRITISH PERSPECTIVE: After discussing possible approaches, we chose to tell the story from the British perspective as an hour-by-hour intelligence thriller. This approach had a few big advantages: it was tense, had a propulsive narrative, and allowed us to focus on the British intelligence effort that’s usually glossed over in other documentaries. It also let us communicate the “fog of war” and show how little the British often knew. The downside, though, is it gives short shrift to the Germans—but my hope is that the Bismarck’s side of this story is already well known to most naval history fans. • WASN’T YAMATO THE BIGGEST?: Yes, the Yamato’s displacement was larger—but it was still under construction when Bismarck sank. Yamato had already been “launched,” but that merely meant that its hull was floating in the water with its superstructure and armaments still under construction. Only after being “commissioned” into active service did it count as a real battleship. • CANADIAN SUPPLY CONVOYS: Several people pointed out that the Royal Canadian Navy and Merchant Marines played a large role in the Atlantic convoys. This is absolutely true, and I wish we had depicted that. As a form of apology, let me offer this: did you know that four Canadian midshipmen served at the Battle of the Denmark Strait? One served on the Prince of Wales, while three died on the HMS Hood. The Hood crew also included 20 men from Newfoundland, which was not (yet) a part of Canada. EPISODE II: THE MIGHTY HMS HOOD • WHY WAS PRINZ EUGEN OUT AHEAD?: It actually wasn’t a strategy. When Bismarck fired at the cruiser Norfolk in Episode I, the concussion of its own guns knocked out its radar array. Prinz Eugen was going first to act as a radar picket. • DID ALL THAT STUFF IN THE BATTLE REALLY HAPPEN?: Many people thought we took artistic license, but the events in this episode are based on the accounts of veterans and Hood survivors. One caveat: much like the circumstances of Hood’s sinking, there’s significant debate over whether Hood’s B-turret fired one last salvo. Both British and German sailors reported seeing the shot, but that doesn’t necessarily mean someone intentionally fired the guns. It’s possible that ammunition cooked off in the barrel, or that an internal explosion made it appear the guns fired. • DIDN’T MYTHBUSTERS PROVE SHIP SUCTION IS A MYTH?: Mythbusters used a 20-foot boat, which doesn’t reflect the fluid dynamics of a sinking battleship. A large ship going down very fast can experience “downflooding,” where water pours into the large spaces in the hull and ventilation shafts, pulling floating objects down like a drain. In addition, air escaping from the ship creates bubbles and foam at the surface, making the water less dense and able to support bodies. Oil and entangling debris also contribute to dragging sailors down—all three Hood survivors described being pulled down in some way. EPISODE III: A CHANCE TO STRIKE • WHY DID THE BRITISH KEEP ATTACKING ALLIES?: During most combat operations, ships tried to maintain radio silence so that listening stations on land didn’t triangulate their signal and inform enemy vessels of their position. This meant a ship’s location wasn’t always clear, and it was hard for pilots to recognize the size and silhouette of a ship when hurtling at it from several miles out. Mistakes were common. • TIME TRAVELING SHIPS AND ENIGMA ROTORS: We accidentally depicted some ships with post-war modernizations like angled flight decks. We also used the destroyer HMS Sheffield (D80)—which the Argentine Navy famously sunk during the Falklands War—instead of the cruiser HMS Sheffield (C24). Also, we misstated the number of rotors on the Enigma: the standard version had three and the naval version had four. EPISODE IV: SINKING THE BISMARCK • WASN’T THE BISMARCK SCUTTLED?: Yes. The crew set scuttling charges, partially because regulations mandated that they be set before an evacuation could take place. But Bismarck was already foundering and most assessments agree that she would’ve sunk within a day or half a day—so really the British sank her, the scuttling just sped it up. • WHY DID THE ROYAL NAVY KEEP SHOOTING?: According to naval procedure, Tovey couldn’t stop firing until Bismarck struck her colors, which she never did. The feelings about this were very mixed among the British sailors. The HMS Rodney’s chaplain really did beg his captain to stop the shelling. • WAS THERE REALLY A U-BOAT?: The lookout on the Dorsetshire spotted U-74, which had come to pick up Bismarck’s war diary at the request of Admiral Lütjens. U-74 later rescued three men clinging to a raft. WALPOLE In 1732, King George II gifted Walpole the residence at 10 Downing Street, where Winston Churchill lived and worked during WWII. Too easy? Ok! The Prinz Eugen was named after Prince Eugene of Savoy, an Italian-French general who served the Austrian Habsburgs. In 1731, Eugene was responsible for hammering out the Second Treaty of Vienna, which reoriented European politics by breaking Britain away from its ally France and instead aligning it with Austria. Who steered this on the British side? WALPOLE.

  245. I like how you avoid lionizing Ford and explore his micromanaging and dictatorial tendencies that would've ruined his company if not for grounded minds like Couzens. That's one of the reasons I love Extra History: you tear down myths and explore the nuances behind the so-called "great men of history."
    1200
  246. I would like to add that a huge Irish population headed into the Montana region where many would work in the great Anaconda Mine which supplied a huge chunk of the US copper for many decades. There was also a move into the Dakota territories where they made a sizable minority of the populous but not as much as the Scandinavians and Germanic cultures that arrived. And I would say it makes a lot of sense that they would have stayed in those low-cost places having just spent everything to get to the US and yet still very close to family and friends back in Ireland who may very well be completely dependent upon family overseas to survive. One final observation though is that it would make complete sense to have a quarantine zone as that could have quickly lead to an epidemic. Not perhaps the best temporary situation for the immigrant, but I feel justified after seeing what not having pro-active precautions lead to with the Spanish Flu epidemic.

  256. See, Hephthalites? That's what happens when instead of annexing a territory, you made them pay you tribute. Yes, they are your friends now. But only because they fear you. You keep supporting the monarch you want in there with your own weapons, and eventually he will turn them against you. It's like the old saying: "Raise crows, and they will peck your eyes out."

  263. The worst is that Charles VI's reign began very well. He was popular, the kingdom was getting back on his feet thanks to spanish and italian trade, his father's policy had forced the english to withdraw and he even won a great victory at Roosebeke against the flemish. And then he was struck down from inside. Thanks for talking more in-depth about this, most people just say "he get mad, yo" and leave it at that.

  266. SUGGESTION: If you're thinking about getting a friend to share your home with, why not check out the local pounds and shelters. While many of these pets don't come with papers or are as flashy as that "gotta have certified breed" pet, the pets at the shelters often know the score. And they're often just as grateful and loving, if not more so. So, why not give your local shelter or pound a look.

  279. The alternate Dutch name for the dodo this video mentions is probably walgvogel. In the video this name is translated as ‘tasteless’ bird. Nah. It’s much worse than merely tasteless. Walg (from the verb walgen, the noun walging or the adjective walgelijk) actually has the meaning disgust/disgusting. Vogel is indeed bird, thus the more correct translation would be disgust(ing) bird.
    1100
  280. This feels like an episode of hoarders that went horribly wrong

  281. Fun fact: One of the main reasons tulips became such a commodity in the Netherlands was because their soil was particlarly suited for plants such as flowers. The seabed created from land reclamation with a mix of rain,sunshine and clever management,has created a unique type of fertile soil which although not good for farming crops is perfect for a plant such as a tulip. To this day the Netherelands account for 80% entire world tulip production.
    1100
  282. I think it's dumb and reductionist when people pretend that the democracy of Athens has anything to do with our modern democracy. If anything, Rome is the ancient republic that we nicked a lot of ideas from, not Athens. In reality, though, we have only really taken the names from those ancient republics. Our modern democracy would be unrecognisable to any ancient Roman or Athenian. Edit: I don't want to engage with the youtube reply system, so I'm just going to expand on a few things here. By "we" I was referring to the US and UK (which, given that I'm neither American nor British and have never been to the US, is admittedly a bit weird, yeah), and by "nicked a lot of ideas from" I mean the word 'senate', the fascis symbol, etc., i.e a bunch of symbolism and wording, but not really any actual direct influence of how the system works. Compared to the democracies of ancient times, even the US looks like a utopia of representation. I think focus should be more on what modern events and forces created the ideas that have led to our modern democracies, rather than the things that ostensibly "inspired" them. Modern democracy is a result of changing material conditions (improving standard of living and education, for ex.), not a re-discovery of a long lost system of government that everyone suddenly agreed was better.

  292. Alas, what a shame that you missed Dr. Sun's final teaching which inspires generations of Chinese and we still remember it today: The work of revolution is yet to be finished. Our comrades shall strive on for its consummation. 革命尚未成功，同志仍需努力。 And the Chinese civil war did not last for 20 years. Communists and nationalists fought between 1927 and 1937 before they reached an agreement to cease fire (at least openly) and deal with Japanese invaders first. The civil war started again in 1945 and ended in 1950 with the nationalist government escaped to Taiwan island. So it is 15 years of civil war in total. And it is also worth mentioning that Dr. Sun's wife Soong Ching-ling still played a big role in Chinese politics after Sun passed away. She contributed to form the united front of Chinese against Japanese invasion, and devoted a lot for social charity, children welfare and women rights. She became the vice president of the People's Republic of China later and remained this country's only honorary president until today.

  293. I am glad so many people are getting interested in history due to this series. But, let us remember, this style of telling history (more like a story) has distinct flaws. Specifically, to tell the story in a compelling way, some things get emphasized and some things get downplayed. Too much nuance is lost when this style of history becomes your primary source. For example, the show portrays Peter as just signing a letter claiming his unfitness to rule Russia, when he signed it at the point of a bayonet. Let shows like this get you interested in a historical event. History is interconnected. The American Revolution happened in large part because Peter pulled back from Berlin. The reason that was important was it caused the British to win the war. Due to that victory, they left the colonies alone, and allowed them to form their own governments. Also, the man who is credited with building the Continental Army was a former Prussian officer during the 7 Years’ War. If the war had continued, he might have died. The French loss in the 7 Years’ War is part of the reason they supported the Americans. Etc. You cannot tell all of that in a story format. One of my college projects (History Major, focusing on the History of Prussia), was building a timeline of the start of WW1. It could not be done in a left to right linear fashion. Instead, we started from a central event (the assassination). The timeline grew outwardly, forming a spider’s web of events. Solid circles formed time. Dotted colored lines connected the events, as each events’ influence spread, and connected with other events. Some events occurred only a few minutes apart, despite occurring in different countries, and immediately influenced another country's actions.

  294. Really would love to see a series on Bismarck. Edit: He was one of the greatest statesman ever, and I really find his lack of a series kind of a snub, to be honest.

  306. How can someone who studied the bible that much have missed the part where it says that no man can know the hour of christs return? (Matthew 24:36 to 24:37)

  309. Important note for the beginning of the story: in these times, men served in army for 25 (twenty five) years. By the time they get back home, there could be no home left. A lot of stories start with that premise. That also explains why the soldier stayed in this village in the end - there isn't much to return to 25 years later.

  318. My other favorite scene from Player Piano is when the traveling Mystic goes to a Barber Shop. The Barber talks about how the barber robot was made: A hairdresser was worried about the increasing automation, so much so that he had nightmares about barber-robots. He relaxed his mind by journaling about how the robot couldn't possibly perform X or Y task. Then he would have another nightmare, but this time the robot was built to perform the barbers task. The man would then think of other tasks the robot couldn't do, and the nightmares grew increasingly more complex. Eventually, the man realized that he had dreamed up a thoroughly perfect barber-robot, and sold the design for millions.

  326. The conversation here is great! I'm glad issues of imperialism and the way it turns people against each other is being discussed! My aim here was to point out the other side of that as well, which is that no empire in history, be it the Roman, the Mongol or the British, is solely the work of the people who get to name it. They are often the ones we write about when we write history but that overlooks the contribution and sacrifice (willing or unwilling) of so many, whose efforts are essential to these vast entities. -JP

  332. This is basically why I love Jane Austen. She gets written off and underestimated even today because people don't see past the surface of her work. To me, Sense and Sensibility is about determining what we value most and about growing up, emotionally. Pride and Prejudice's moral is to be willing to change your mind and laugh at yourself. Mansfield Park is a morality play that cautions against people who choose appearances and status over what actually matters. Emma is about humbling the privileged. Persuasion is about the advantages of a mature mind. And Northanger Abbey basically pokes fun at girls who take Gothic romance too seriously.
    960
  333. If you look at the Brothers Gracci series, you'll see that breaking social norms is what killed the Roman Republic. Tyrants wouldn't step down. Tribunes would be attacked. Those things which were protected by social norms and not hard law were essential to the government, and taken advantage of for shortsighted power. Seriously, watch the series, and you'll see it in action.

  334. It's only fitting, and a testament to the quality of this channel, that when the Dutch finally get some love on the channel it's done within the context of not just the impressive things they accomplished but also the horrible things they did to get there. tips hat to Extra Credits

  335. As a kid I did the Bloody Mary ritual only when the lights were off I stubbed my toe on a piece of broken wood which cut it and drew blood all over the floor. So that was fun!
    952
  336. Hey, you forgot the best part of the tasks. The tasks weren't all given at once. They were made up on the spot. Not only were they made up, but they were told from a bronze pithos in the floor that the king hid in because he was terrified of every single monster and artifact heracles brought into the poor guy's castle. Oh, and the tasks weren't based on time. They were based on number. There were supposed to be 7. This poor king, shivering in his bunker at this almighty demigod had to tell heracles that his tasks didn't count because he got help not once, not twice, but three times.

  337. Through all of these videos of Extra History, I think I found a good title to summarize all of world history according to extra credits.. "The Monarch died with too many or too few heirs, Chaos ensues (ft. Robert Walpole)"

  345. There’s an AMAZING romance manga called “Even If You Slit My Mouth”, that centers the Kuchisake Onna (Miroku) and how she falls in love with a human (who is absolutely in love and dedicated to her). It talks about so many other urban legends, their co-existence with humans, and how an urban legend only dies once people stop believing in them.
    907
  346. Funfact: With his half of the ransom (almost 12 tons of silver!), Leopold build some very nice churches and founded the City of Wiener Neustadt ("New Vienna"). So he not only restored his honor but could also legitimately say "I built a city and made the English pay for it". One of very few instances of very successful revenge with no immediate negative consequences in history.
    906
  347. Superb opening episode. Polymath, polyglot, consummate statesman and cunning politician; a profound lawgiver, inspired naturalist, mathematician, poet, and composer—Frederick II was probably the most brilliant person to ever wear a crown. Between the ages of Charlemagne and Napoleon, he has no equal and he was legendary among his contemporaries as either a demigod or the Antichrist. He was arguably the last true Western Caesar.
    903
  348. My six-year-old LOVES this channel. Whenever she hears Dan's voice, she runs into the room, and makes me rewind the episode for her. Keep up the great work.

  354. So this channel now has Mythology among History, Game Design and Sci-Fi?...Dude, this channel just keeps getting better and better!

  356. I'm used to the Little Ice Age being a passing note in history, usually not going much deeper than "food shortages caused by..." Seeing a deep dive into how it overturned daily life all around the world is a lot of fun.
    891
  357. As an Icelander who has read most of the old sagas (in the original language) and loves norse mythology I have to say that this is a fairly accurate accounting. I love it! Thanks EC for doing a little bit of work undoing what Marvel has made of our history :)
    891
  358. Loved the series, but I think that jumping from the Battle of Plassey of 1757 directly into the Indian Revolution of 1857, an exact 100-year jump, was too much. There should have been one or two more videos in between 4th and 5th.

  361. @4:44 why is it easier for some people to believe in a conspiracy that requires comic book levels of plotting than accept that humans are collectively a disorganized mess

  362. To clarify for those confused: The Jurchen/Jurched were a Tungusic tribe (related to the later Manchus) from Manchuria who had established the Jin Dynasty in North eastern China, an empire with its capital at the modern site of Beijing. The ruler caste were all Jurchen, while they ruled over Han Chinese and Khitans, and they were the Chinese empire Temujin would have interacted with here. The Jurkin were a Mongolian steppe tribe who were destroyed by Temujin here in this video. Important to understand the difference!

  363. Eunity is my favorite program

  364. I like how history hinges on such small details like the one worker who was careless enough to toss a cigarette (IN A CLOTHING FACTORY!!! What an idiot.) Reminds of the London fire of 1666 where a baker left an oven open next to dry wheat flour.
    881

  367. Ibn Battutah's reaction to the syncretic form of Islam practiced in the Mali Empire touches on a conundrum in religion that I've seen come up time and again as far as spreading Abrahamic religions is concerned: If the religion you seek to spread forbids something that is an integral part of the culture you seek to spread it to, how do you approach spreading your religion? Do you insist that the locals abandon the parts of their culture that your religion forbids, or do you leave those parts of their culture alone? On the one hand, trying to put an end to practices that have endured for centuries will almost certainly make it harder to attract converts--and will likely make the locals hostile toward you. On the other hand, if you allow the locals to keep their sinful customs, can you truly say that your proselytizing is helping them rather than hurting them?
    875
  368. India: "Finally, we're freed from the EIC." "Great" Britain: "I wouldn't say freed... More like; under new management."
    872
  369. I hope the Collyers found some peace. After so long together, their last thoughts must have been of each other. Langley quickly realizing he couldn't free himself, and Homer slowly realizing that something had gone horribly wrong but he could do nothing about it. Incredibly poignant horror.

  370. This video did a great job at describing the conditions imposed upon Ireland at the time. A few points left though: Some penal laws were still in place under different names. They also included limiting of the Irish language to the point it nearly died out. They were also expanded in new ways during the famine. The limited aid sent to Ireland was actually used as leverage to gain even more land. If someone wanted to avail of food aid they had to do one of two things: farmers had to give up their tiny strips of land and keep only 1/5 of an acre, essentially meaning after food aid was gone they would die. This was because of Malthusian economic thought at the time proclaimed this as just. This allowed the British to consolidate even more control over Ireland. The other option for urban working poor was work houses. They could not farm so they had to make use of the limited aid which required them to work in work houses. Families were separated, disease was rampant, the diet was terrible and many never left. Families were destroyed by this and was another way of making the Irish population dependent on the English government to suppress rebellion. The Ottomans organised 2000 tonnes of aid to be sent to Ireland, and although some saw this as a political move to anger the British, most of it was actually collected from the poor in the ottoman empire who had heard of the Irish plight and had sympathy for them. The British didn't allow the food to come into Ireland and threatened to sink their ships. The English purposely created conditions that would allow a famine to destroy Ireland. Given the land laws, potatoes were the only option. The English wanted to exterminate the Irish and take their land but wanted to make use of their labour too, so they struck the balance with these laws and conditions which in a way...kind of resembles an island wide gulag or concentration camp. Death as the end goal but making use of their labour in the meantime. The topic of the famine being a genocide is hotly debated today, however the UN definitions of genocide actually define the famine as a genocide. Because the English intentionally created the conditions for it to happen, it kind of is a genocide. After a smaller famine in the 1700s, they changed the laws further to worsen the effects of a future famine. This added with their apathetic response and literal rejection of outside aid means they exacerbated it too, taking advantage of a situation they could remedy, and using it as a genocidal tool. By definition of this UN convention, the famine was indeed a genocide for which the English government has not officially apologised for. There are appeals being issued in international courts to make them acknowledge it as a genocide and possibly even pay reparations. India are going through something similar in relation to their famine in the twentieth century.

  375. As someone studying Bachelor's level Mathematics I understand very well the feeling of trying to proof something and end up screwing up by accidently proofing the thing with itself. Also I greatly admire everyone coming up with those amazing and abstract constructs all by themselves, when I myself suck at most more theoretical applications of Math.

  379. As someone who struggles with social anxiety, I can relate to Pygmalion wanting company and simultaneously to have that company be happy, but simultaneously not being sure how to act. I express similar feelings when I craft chatacters for the short stories I write. Stories a lot of my IRL and Online friends enjoy reading.

  380. As someone used to the Celsius scale I had a brief "wait, what?" moment at 5:40, before realizing it's Fahrenheit. BTW, a very interesting episode!
    841
  381. Such a tragedy. Poor John Harper. As with so many moments in history, a simple misunderstanding sends greatness sideways. And the vitriol with which the townsfolks rather would burn their own than see salves liberated. Now that is unflinching evil.

  382. Native American and indigenous stories should be shared. They are so interesting and we shouldn't be forgotten

  384. As much as we credit Ford for his work for helping shape america, the darker side of him during his later life is unforgivable. Not to mention how he treated Edsel even after he learned he had stomach cancer. Goes to show us that figures of history aren’t as squeaky clean as we wish they were. Thank you Extra History for telling this tale! Your work is always a joy to watch!

    829
  388. That rollo walking segment made me laugh so much
    826
  389. Also fun fact, General Edward Rydz-Śmigły, the former commander of Polish Forces before the war, actually escaped internment in Romania and joined the Underground Army but went under another name, because he still felt guilty for Poland's loss. He died in 1941-2 due to a heart attack though.

  395. I want to really credit Scott and the other artists on these new amazing artworks like how better their artworks got since the Punic wars and the uses of gif. as well. Also credits to Wargaming on sponsoring Exra Credits and pays them to teach us a lesson about World War 2 rather than pick up a book(well books are great but videos are greater)
    805
  396. Fun fact about the covers shown, they were made by a woman named Margaret Brundage. It's a shame that for her work that not even you guys mentioned her.

Most of her children lived to adulthood. She gave birth to John at the ripe age of 43 and lived to her 80's in an era of shitty medical care 3. Rebelled against her husband by siding with her ex-husband and bringing her sons with her. 4. Joined a crusade.

  401. I was raised Seventh-day-Adventist and we were taught this story as gospel over and over, (though from a rather different point of view.) I used to confuse the Great Disappointment with the Great Depression. After the events in this video, the Seventh-day-Adventists explained that on October 22nd, 1844, God had moved from one chamber into another, and had begun the final judgement of humanity. Like so many other things in the Bible, this didn't exactly make sense considering the fact that they were teaching that God was everywhere and had always been judging people, but they explained the last part as, "well now he's judging people even more!" and they sent me to the corner for questioning them. I was in trouble a lot in my religious grade school.

  410. So a HUGE thank you for covering this. As an orthodox jew it's fascinating to see how they get interpreted by other cultures. A couple minor things: being a nazirite wasn't a "life sentence" generally. The minimum period was 30 days, after which you bring an offering to the temple as part of the ceremony to cut and burn the hair. Samson was a unique case in that he wasn't as restricted as a standard nazirite - he was only DIRECTLY restricted from the hair cutting, even though his mother was told to refrain from all the other nazirite aspects. As such, it's not clear whether he was in fact prohibit from contact with the dead or consumption of wine. All that aside, Samson is never held up as an upstanding citizen. If anything, he's sort of a jewish antihero, the Hebrew Batman, if you will...

  413. Honestly, in northwestern Spain and Portugal we have a very similar myth to the Wild Hunt, but also very distinct. The Santa Compaña. (Or Holy Company) They are a processions of the deceased in white garbs. Whose job, sometimes, is to go around villages to collect the souls of the recently deceased to travel with them. In which case, if you cross pathes with them or watch them from your window, you might see the face of a neighbour of yours between them, only for you to learn the next morning that he died during his sleep. But other times, if you are unlucky enough to find them in your way during the night, they will make you carry the cross as head of the procession. In which case, you better pray you find another living person on your path, to whom you can pass the cross in your place. Because if not, before morning arrives, they will take you with them to the other side.

  414. Holy shit. I honestly can't describe how much I love your videos. I personally love history, but I've noticed that friends who I've showed videos of yours to them, liked them as well. Literally last weekend, I had a friend over and I showed him the entire Ned Kelly story. After, I asked if he liked it, and he said he loved it, and wanted to watch more. You make history so accessible and can make people I'd never heard of some of my personal heroes, like John Snow. You also have the magic to make me interested in something I'd never even thought about. It pains me to see the end of the video, knowing I'd have to wait another week to get the next part. I can't wait for #4.

  422. (Comment from Belinda) I don't know if anyone else has had this experience with Jane Austen's works, but in the educational culture I grew up in, the historical context of Austen's writing was almost never emphasized. Pride & Prejudice in particular is frequently reduced to being the original formula for romantic comedies (to say nothing of its own spin-off movies of the same name). I remember in high school class it seemed really weird to me that we would be talking about this 19th century novel as a progressive feminist work because it's already a given in the 21st century world that marrying for love is extremely commonplace. I'm really proud of our writers Jac and Rob, and our artist Ali, for bringing to life the "extra History" of Jane Austen that gets glossed over by popular culture. <3

  423. It's really important to note that up until Mercutio's death; the show looks, feels, and acts like a romcom. And Mercutio is the comic relief character. Try to imagine Dionne getting murdered 40 minutes into Clueless.

  427. Southern slavery expansionism is worthy of its own series. Both William Walker’s and Narciso López’s filibustering in Nicaragua and Cuba respectively had the eventual goal of being annexed by the US as slave states, a la the Texas Revolution. López asked both Jefferson Davis and Robert E. Lee to lead expeditions to overthrow the Spanish government in Cuba. They declined but it didn’t stop them from trying to do the same thing later on with their own government.

    725
  432. As a Dutchmen qualified in history, I have to say this video is very wrong about the Dutch Republic obtaining its wealth from the VOC. In fact, the VOC wasn't very significant until the 18th Century. What made the Dutch Republic such an economic powerhouse was the trade with the Baltic. The Wheat trade was still by far the largest in Europe and the Dutch economic system (which was way ahead of its time) was especially prevelent in the trade with the Baltic, not with the East Indies. It's a very common misconception, but I feel like this is important enough to point out as it disproves a lot of points about 17th Century trading all being about spices.

  433. The Knights of the Golden Circle make for great villains in any period setting or alt-history game. My husband is planning a lovely campaign where the Knights discovered how to use blood magic and are now only kept in check by an alliance of voodoo practitioners centered in New Orleans.

That's usually how EM is going to operate but I totally encourage everyone to check out all the alternate versions of these stories as the deviations sometimes provide amazing insights into how these cultures changed! -JP

  436. Song Jiaoren is one of the most underrated revolutionaries in Modern Chinese History. While Sun was the diplomat, Huang Xing the military man, it was Song who was the organizer of the Revolution. Most of the soldiers who revolted in Wuchang actually admired Song more than Sun, and this is why he was chosen by the Kuomintang over Sun to lead them against Yuan. If he was not gunned down by Yuan on that fateful day at such a young age, it is probably he who would remember as the founder of the Republic and there is a good chance he maybe able to hold China together which would spare the nation a lot of bloodsheds. For anyone who is interested in learning more about the Revolution and Song's life. I would recommend them looking up the following book: Struggle for democracy: Sung Chiao-jen and the 1911 Chinese Revolution (1971) published by ANU.

  440. I make fun of it a lot but this is something I actually remember from history class in high school (though they covered it in way less detail). Sad that it took this kind of disaster to enact any kind of reform though, as I understand it things were like this for pretty much the entire Industrial Revolution to this point. Also that little bit at the end has so many applications today :^)

  441. The Catholic Church has several patron saints of beer, including my favorite saint story: Arnulf Of Metz was a bishop in France with a devoted following in his home parish. When he died, those parishoners made a pilgrimage to retrieve hia body, but ran out of water on the way and asked for his intervention. Legend holds that their water containers then filled with beer that lasted them the rest of the journey.

As a life long type-1 diabetic who has seen advances from taking 2 types of insulin and have little flexibility in my life, all the way to being on a closed loop Constant Glucose Monitor and an insulin pump that communicate through my smartphone and dynamically adjust my insulin rate based on my current glucose levels, I just want to say thank you. I learned a lot I didnt know about the discovery of insulin, and I'm especially thankful you bring up the legal loophole that has allowed companies to make mind-boggling amounts of profit off a medication that is required for people to live.

  451. One thing I dearly hope is at least touched on and most certainly cannot be overlooked when talking about Modern Japanese Militarism is the antagonistic relationship between the Japanese Army and the Japanese Navy. Especially going into the 20th Century, the Army and Navy were arguably greater foes of each other than any outside power. Cooperation between the two branches was practically non-existent to the point of open hostility and occasional brawls between officers in the halls of government. Arguments have even been floated that this very antagonism between the Army and the Navy was one of the major factors that ultimately lost Japan the Second World War.
    687
  452. The old "void history," "lost history," etc literary mechanics always fascinated me for some reason. Digging up something like this that had been more or less unknown for 3000+ years must have been pretty exciting. also, Akhenaten probably might have learned a thing or two from CGP Grey's Rules for Rulers. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  454. Also worth noting regarding the failure of Operation Michael (the last German offensive mentioned here) was the breakdown in discipline among the German troops once exposed to captured French territory. Numerous reports have circulated of German units capturing French villages well behind the original trench lines only for their advance to mysteriously stop. When officers were sent forward to see what was wrong, they often found their troops drunk on French wine or gorging themselves on sausage and cheese, food and drink in quantities they hadn't seen for years due to rationing forced by the Entente blockade. Even when threatened with courtmartial, some units simply refused to move until the towns had been stripped bare. It's pure conjecture on my part, but it seems very possible that many German troops may have contracted the flu while on these pillaging kinda-mutinies. It was only a week into the offensive that Ludendorff declared a primary objective: The key railway junction at Amiens. Had the Germans been successful, the Entente's supply lines would have been thrown into chaos and supply of large portions of the trench lines would have been next to impossible. But by then it was too late; the offensive had lost momentum and the Entente forces had rallied, halting any further advance. It was all the Germans could do to dig in once again to avoid being pushed back, which they eventually were at the great Battle of Amiens, one of the first major uses of all branches of the military: air power, infantry squads, tanks, mobile artillery, machine gun units, even cavalry to a limited degree, all coordinated as one. Also, regarding the situation with Russia, even after the revolution things were far from simple. It took the Russians months to even settle on which new government was really in charge, and this quickly devolved into the Russian Civil War 1917-1923. Once the Bolshevik government, let by Lenin, did gain enough support to negotiate with the Germans, the Russian diplomats, led by Leon Trotsky, dragged their heels about accepting German peace proposals. It was only when Germany threatened to push through Latvia and take St. Petersburg that Trotsky was finally forced to accept... something. The final treaty was almost incomprehensible, but it did technically end Russia's involvement in the war against Germany... sort of. Even so, while the Germans were able to pull a lot of units from the Eastern Front, a large contingent of the army was kept pinned down at the Russian border as the threat of the war reigniting there still remained until the very end.

  462. As an Icelander I just love hearing the pronunciations, which are really quite good compared to other english speakers. 1. Thank you, thank you, thank you for pronouncing Hel as hell instead of hella. That alone almost ruined Thor: Ragnarok for me. 2.

  473. I think that Robert Peel is the person who John Keele was named after, the man who would shape the career of policeman Samuel Vimes in the Discworld books. Vimes enacted quite a few reforms of his own on the police force in his city, going from a bunch of louts who sweep up the corpses and the drunk to get them out of the public eye to a police force fitting a metropole like Ankh-Morpork.

And failing that, after the Vanir discovered the Aesir's deception, why kill the hostage who actually had genuine wisdom and not the dude they just realised was a useless idiot? If I were in their shoes, I'd have killed Hoenir and made Mimir the new adviser.

  497. In hindsight, I feel like Napoleon's time in Egypt is overlooked compared to all his other campaigns. Histories talking about him usually focus on things like his ascension to power, his wars with Britain, or even specific battles like Trafalgar or Waterloo. So, I'm hyped to see this side of his story 😊
    626
  498. While I agree that the Clinton impeachment was mostly politically motivated, the underlying reason was actually rather reasonable. There was a very strong case that the President of the United States lied under oath. While that might be no big deal when the lie is about an extramarital affair, it sets a very dangerous precedent if a President can lie in judicial proceedings and face no repercussions. So I don't think that it is the best example to use for changing the rules.
    623
  499. As a Dearborn native who is knowledgeable about Henry Ford (and loves the Henry Ford Museum) this series is one that I've been looking forward too for a while. A fascinating yet flawed man, he remains one of the most compelling historical figures in American history. We are living in his world, as without his influence and ingenuity we would be in a very different place. Right and wrong as he was, no one can't argue that he didn't change the world.

  516. I've read somewhere that Kara Mustafa Pasha tried to rally his men with the holy banner and had to be dragged away by his men. It would make sense, since the man REALLY wanted to capture Vienna, for the sake of his adopted family name. Also, Kara Mustafa didn't get executed for failing at Vienna, but for failing to hold Ottoman lands (Which I guess is the result of losing most of his men at Vienna). I think the important distinction is that the Sultan could probably stomach the failed attempt at conquering Vienna, but not the humiliation of losing territory under his reign.

What you have is a Cadceus, the staff of Hermes, a symbol of alchemy, astrology, trade and wisdom in general. While it's an ok symbol you are probably meant to use the Staff of Asclepius, god of medicine. This one has only a single serpent and no wings. Cheers!

  524. I'll admit, I was immediately nervous when I heard that you guys were going to attempt a political miniseries, given how tense that environment has been for the past couple years. However, this was a really reassuring start, and it's nice to see a dissection of the system without getting caught up in the modern day controversy constantly swirling around in just about every other form of media. The more informed voters are about the inner machinations of the US political system and various political strategies, the better.

  535. There's a lot to this story that really speaks to the time, and there's a whole bunch you probably had to cut down for time. One part of it is the lawyer for Harris and Blanck, Max Steuer, who was one of those lawyers everyone knew and feared at the time. One of the big reasons they got off the charges was because the witness the prosecution used didn't speak english very well (because she was an immigrant) and the DA thought that Steuer wouldn't press her too hard for fear of looking like a bully going after a young girl. Steuer's response was to instead ask the witness, Kate Alterman, to repeat her story again, and then again, and then again. The coaching she had gone through because of her poor english sounded more like she had been coached with a false story due to the repetition of specific phrases, which threw just enough doubt on the eyewitness testimony that there was no preponderance of evidence and the jury acquitted. He managed to tear down her story while doing nothing more than calmly and politely asking for clarification and repetition of the testimony. After the verdict, one of the jurors made a statement about why: "I believed that the door was locked at the time of the fire, but we couldn't find them guilty unless we believed they knew the door was locked." It's not important to the overall story of the historical importance of the labor movement, but it is a nice little keyhole insight into how the justice system works and how sometimes those cases you think are slam dunks turn out to not be the case. Also, I hope that it might help some people realize that as good as these videos are, you should use them as a springboard to do further research on your own. History is not a series of events. It's a weave of millions of things converging, and there will always be more to learn about an event than you think there is. It's always worth taking the extra time to dig more into something, you'll be amazed at what you can learn.

  536. Speaking of those female pubkeepers … in mediaeval English, the suffix -ster was the feminine equivalent of -er and was used to form names of women's professions. So the surname Brewster is derived from a female ancestor who brewed beer. (Similarly, Baxter was the feminine equivalent of Baker.)

  537. Here is a lesson: Don't be afraid of rich and powerful groups, fight for justices and common senses.

  539. "he had a plan" - I am having so many Bismarck flashbacks right now.
    582
  540. Guys, you have got to look up "March across the belts." It is honestly one of the coolest stories that came as a consequence of the Little Ice Age. Due to it being colder, a swedish army was capable of marching across the ice of the baltic with cannons, wagons, horses and all for 16 DAYS. From island to island, all the way to Copenhagen. The peace treaty giving the last puzzle pieces for that of which is now today Sweden's modern borders.
    581
  541. I feel like staring a firestorm in the comments today. So who would win, Walpole or Bismarck? (I leave the details up to you.)

  542. The doctor giving radiation treatment looks suspiciously like Vault Boy from Fallout. Coincidence?
    579
  543. Cool, so all I have to do is keep saying it'll be "tomorrow" every single day, and I can delay the apocalypse for at least the rest of my life? Neat! Having the power to bully God is rad af!
    579
  544. I love these stories from mythologies that aren't main stream. We need more stories about African, pre-colonisation American, and Asian mythologies! It's so refreshing and new to see something that isn't Greek, Norse or Roman
    576
  545. Is so rare that Hypatia gets mentioned. I think the last time I heard about her was Carl Sagan in original cosmos. She has always fascinated me as a historical figure. It’s a shame so much of what she wrote and taught was lost to a Christian mob
    576
  546. Bloody Mary? Isn’t that the alcoholic beverage?
    576
  547. This is one of the greatest series ever made. It sparked my interest in Chinese history and I find myself going back and watching it time and time again. Extra history truly made a masterpiece. Thank you guys for this and keep up the great work
    574
  548. I can scarcely believe how good these episodes are. The only "information" channel I can think of that may rival this one would be Kurzgesagt (you two should totally do an episode together)
    574
  549. Edsel deserved better. Fathers like Henry ford don't want their children to exceed them, they want them to be just as horrible as they are. It is very likely that the stomach cancer Edsel got, was been caused by the sheer level of stress Henry caused his son.
    573

  557. Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo is an anime series based on this book, though it's from the point of view of Albert de Morcerf. It's also set in the non-specific space future, the Count is a space vampire, and there are mecha duels, and it has a pretty awesome aesthetic. it's worth watching is my point.
    563
  558. How can 3 birds carry away more than 6 apples? Asking the hard questions here.
    562
  559. Additional info for anyone in interest: In the center of Quito, like in Cusco, you can find odd architecture where the foundations are made out of ancient stones, and the building itself made from colonial bricks. Although, these foundations are not inca like in Cusco, they are Cañari, a tribe from southern Ecuador relocated due to inca expansionism. Those stones are an ancient fortress and here the Cañari, along with other allied tribes, made their last stand against the Incas. Glad you mentioned the valley of hundreds of millenial civilizations. The valley named after the Quitus. Greetings from Quito EH!
    561
  560. If anyone wondering where Emerald Buddha is now. The statue is located in Wat Phra Kaew in Bangkok. (Fun tidbit: The Thai general mentioned in this video who stole the statue eventually became the first king of the current Chakri dynasty)
    559
  561. Looking for the Articles of Confederation? Never fear, that series will continue every Saturday as usual! This extra series is just that: an extra episode of Extra History every (extra) week! It will not interfere with our regular Saturday release schedule.

  564. Glad you caught the 1930 mistake, though it's too bad the audio can't be edited. Still, kind of like the idea of the Mali Empire lasting to the 1930s. Gonna write me some alternate history now.
    558
  565. Can we get that song in a standalone video? Preferably without an intro or outro? Or just a bonus MP3 for all of your Patrons regardless of the tier. I want to use it as a ring tone. (The one not-Dan sang not the one that comes out with the Lies video anyways.)
    558
  566. 1. The Peach is a Chinese/Buddhist symbol for knowledge or wisdom. The creatures of the underworld are compelled to eat the virtues/elements of the world. Something about creatures of rot feasting on the living. The grapes and bamboo also have symbolism here too but I don't know them. 2. This is basically the last chronological myth we see Izanagi in. There's no explanation why he's no longer relevant to stories of the sun or moon, just that the collection of myths that got written down stop featuring him. 3. Compare this story with Orpheus and the Underworld or Sodom and Gomorrah. The main story features of each myth, of descending to a place where the protagonist is not meant to be, of seeking a prize but not being allowed to look upon it and looking upon it and having the prize ripped from you, they are all similar enough to imply that there is some older Ur-myth that was popular when the ancestors of these cultures still talked to each other and shared stories. It gives us a peek into what our culture might have been like before agriculture.

  569. Oh so THAT'S where Games Workshop got inspiration for the Siege of Vraks from! And the Death Korps of Krieg, but one thing at a time, no?
    553
  570. I spent 12 years in the US Navy (08-20), and am currently in the Navy Reserves and of all the badasses of naval history I have had to learn about in that time, I have never before heard of anything as metal as an XO writting orders in his own blood

  574. I wonder if those siege had any part in inspiring Tolkien’s writing about the siege of Minas Tirith. Such a fascinating and complex story.
    550
  575. I love the art style in these videos. The little scene where Temujin slides up behind the throne was great.

    546
  578. Can you imagine if we'd had the Creative Commons, MIT, Apache, and other "public but still copyrighted" agreements at that time. Like ones that require later contributors to also adopt the "public" licensing. Or if we didn't have a For-Profit Prolong Suffering Industry in America.
    546
  579. Doom Otter! Otter of Doom!
    545
  580. MaidenCorp That's actually a very clever observation. It makes me wish historians would note the media's influence in modern historical more often.
    543
  581. I love M C Escher. Best rapper ever. I hear he also did some painting stuff, wonder if those'll catch on some day.

  584. Don't worry, we didn't forget to finish Ned Kelly's story. Join us next week for the "Lies" episode we know you've been waiting for!
    536
  585. I love that you guys used a códice style, thanks for using your high quality video making to teach the myths of my country.
    535
  586. 7:00 I guess this would be a question for Lies at the end, what's been the hardest series to research due to either a lack of written sources or something more exotic like information being burned? (this also came up in the Akhenaten video.) Unrelated but the last time you said "all of that stuff before was the simple part" we got a Walpole meme, so this ought to be good.
    534
  587. Now that everyone is well and vaccinated, something like this shouldn't be able to happen again on such a massive scale. ... Right? ....Right?

  590. I'm a Chinese student who came to study in America in the midwest. And this was taught to me during schooI, and the teacher even taching us that the unfaire treatment of American Indians was a shameful page in the American hsitory. I was pleasantly surpised to see America is willing to teach about its past wrongs and make some amends, something I was extensively taught in China that America doesn''t do.
    532
  591. As someone who always enjoys the lesser known stories of WW2, this series is going to be a banger
    529
  592. I know this episode plays on Indiana Jones but that opening to a castle got me feeling more for Wolfenstein for a brief second
    527
  593. I'm surprised, given the caveat about the bias of sources you started the episode with, that you didn't mention the more colorful aspects of Joan's introduction to Charles. In addition to the more 'traditional' tests, the record says that Charles dressed in disguise at their first meeting and Joan was able to identify him as the Dauphin despite insistence he was just a courtier, and after her death Charles said that she had known secrets about him that he'd only told God in prayer. Regardless of how accurate these accounts are, or how much they really indicate supernatural interference, it does seems likely that Charles had much more reason to believe and support Joan than just "she's a virgin and her beliefs are orthodox so what's the worst that could happen?," and it seems odd to omit that aspect entirely.
    527
  594. So you could say...they built that city on rock and knolls. I'll show myself out.
    526
  595. The fact that we still call them "third parties" says all you need to know about American party lines
    524
  596. I feel like Fredrick was born in the wrong time because it seems like he would get really into grand strategy games
    521
  597. Love him, but racist as hell. Read all his works too. Really is the foundation of my favorite game, Bloodborne

  598. At 27 seconds from release, the video had 27 likes. Neat.
    518
  599. Well, we finally are going to start with non-euclidian geometry three episodes in. I see it's not an easy matter to dwell in without a lot of background, isn't it?
    517
  600. Everybody know how it will end. Either Great Khan fleeing from new vegas or immortalized by suicidal attack on Hover Dam.
    516
  601. Guys I feel like gm is being unfair Heracles just keeps winning and he’s only rolled like 4 20s
    515
  602. I'm not very interested in Mythology, but that's exactly what I said when you launched Extra-Sci-fi, so I think I'm going to enjoy this series quite a bit. :)
    514
  603. That´s actually accurate representation for Mictlantecuhtli, the Lord of the Dead. He had those pokeball-like things on his head too on ancient codex drawings. :D
    513
  604. Does that "Japanese botanist" have any more Pokemon? I need to beat Let's Go.

    503
  609. A new episode of Extra history, a Monte Cristo sandwich on one side, a bowl of kettle chips on the other, and a vanilla coke in my hand. Life doesn't get better than this. EDIT: Uh... the snacks might have been a mistake. EDIT 2: Having finished the episode, I can confirm that the intro was as bad as it got. The other human experiment stories weren't as gruesome, and my Monte Cristo was eaten without incident lol.
    503
  610. This episode is too grim... Add some beach balls!

    495
  616. I have been with you guys since the beginning, my first extra history videos were the Sengoku Jidai ones as they were being released. It has been amazing to watch the development of your work, from just recounting events chronologically, to discussing how history has shaped our cultures and socities, and how events and trends from centuries ago still affect us today. You guys are the reason I am a history major today, going for my masters then, ideally, a doctorate, and material like this is why I am a social historian, focusing on how events in history affected their societies, and how they affected people living in those societies.
    495
  617. I finished watching the end of the samurai episodes 10 mins ago what a coincidence that the next thing following that is another series about Japan. Thank you very much ❤️

  621. Blame later writers. Originally, Morgan was the fairy queen of Avalon and was one of yhe maidens who broughy Arthur to Avalon to be healed. She was later converged with Morgause/Ana, Arthur's actual half sister
    488
  622. Hey extra credits. Truth be told, this is the first I've ever heard of Lord Dunsany and his works, and I didn't know he is the origin of inspiration of so many famous authors. What you've told of Lord Dunsany's works has caught my interest, so I'll try to find and read some when I get the chance. Thank you.
    485
  623. Thank you so much! The failed conquest of Canada is hardly talked about in American history. I'm glad you guys are talking about it. Keep up the great work.
    485
  624. Remember to vote in all the elections, state govs, city govs, and ballot initiatives are important too

  628. It’s so disappointing that I had read a excerpt of “I know why the caged bird sings” in middle school but was never told about the amazing woman behind it.

  629. The rod with two snakes is a caduceus, a symbol of commerce; one snake is the rod of Asclepius, a symbol of medicine. Although given the nature of capitalist health complexes, it’s probably fine.

  636. I think that the origin for the basilisk's weasel weakness is the observation of mongooses and cobras.

  637. I just adopted a kitten from a rescue agency. They brought his feral mom and siblings up from California to British Columbia. All five of them got adopted immediately.

  642. I'm so happy that we're getting treated to Christmas history videos. The Christmas Truce short series is still one of my all time favorites... (and since we're getting this one off video so early we might get another one next week, fingers 🤞).
    462
  643. Do you ever use any cat sounds for Zoey that Zoey herself didn't originally make?
    458
  644. Aaaand we're live!
    454
  645. The gangs of New York is a great movie that depicts some of the riots albeit in a very Hollywood way. The military shells New York in the movie which never happened but other then that I think it does a good job at showing what they were like.
    454
  646. I'm really liking this episode's art. Its very funny and wildly expressive.
    453
  647. Why do I imagine a vision of Bismarck standing right next to Temujin grinning and winking while Temujin is wearing the Always Have a Plan shirt
    451
  648. Holy shit that art.
    450
  649. Great video, but yall missed the two most important parts in the battle of Agincourt. First, Henry wasn't on horseback, far from it. He was actually in the center of the line, on foot, with a crown welded to his helmet so that everyone could see him (and likely target the strongest point in the center of the English line). Second, during the battle, the Duke of Gloucester, the king's own brother, was severely wounded by French knights and was being taken off the field by them. In the most heroic act of the battle, the king, who had been saved by a royal body guard, charged out and stood on the body of his brother, killing the knights and making it clear that no royal of England was going to be taken hostage. Great video, but again, these two points are really what made the battle legendary! Stay awesome guys!
    448
  650. 1:27 Walpole. Of course it was Walpole.
    448
  651. I admit, I started to cry a little bit watching this. Seeing that Zoey has a wonderful furever home made me so happy.

    447
  655. Why do I have the feeling Dan had a nightmare trying to pronounce Soumaoro Kante while recording this episode? XD But seriously though, when I saw this in my recommendations I literally screamed for joy. The Mali Empire is my favorite historical empire, and I'm so glad that you're finally covering it. Fantastic work EC!
    447
  656. Fun fact: rabbits can honk when extremely scared
    444
  657. If I were to make a slight suggestion to your amendment draft, I'd say to make election day an election week rather than a holiday. After all, many people, especially in retail, work on holidays. Give people a week to vote, however, and you eliminate that problem altogether for a lot of people.
    441
  658. Huh, I actually was raised a Seventh-Day Adventist and learned all about this in a bible history class. Didn't expect to hear about it here, haha!
    441
  659. I cringed when he burned all those records. I get the sentiment, but that stuff is history! That stuff is worth preserving!

  662. Philosophical question: If a measurement system is inaccurate, but it's the only option, is it bad? Is the utility of a system measured against other options, or against some objective standard? If the latter, what standard?
    438
  663. I'm experiencing a hunger for Latin American and South American culture and history like never before. Between watching Encanto, planning a personal trip, and this series, my hunger just intensifies.
    438
  664. Thank you, professor biker Jesus. You rock.
    438
  665. Wow, to see what all edsel was put through and still was running the company, loved by everyone and even missed by his gone mad father, he mustve been a very strong man completely opposite of what Henry thought of him
    437
  666. I love the theming used. It provides an extra bit of fun, and makes me want to come back just to achieve the next rank, though I am loving the history!
    436
  667. “How dare he try to stop their deep seated and wholesome tradition of celebrating the messiahs birth by getting utterly annihilated on cream drinks laced with cheap rock gut” Yeah how dare he! 🤣🤣
    436
  668. A quick note, that may be lost in translation. The word "giants" is a weird translation, because the scandinavian words like Jætte or Jötun doesn't mean giants in that language. In truth the giants were not all,... well gigantic. Most were in fact the size of humans and are more alike to the orcs of middle-earth. EDIT: I want to mention @KendrixTermina who pointed something interesting out that I didn't know. I'll just quote him and be sure to give him a thumbs-up down in the thread: AFAIK It was a translation by a 19th century playwright who wanted to Allude to the ancient greek Gigantes, as in "Our stories are cool too!" IMHO "Titans" would have been a more apt equivalent, with how they're remnants of the primordial chaos that are fought by the younger gods who deserve representation and around a similar power level as those
    436
  669. NAPOLEON JUMPSCARE???!! I thought I was free from his presence... 😨
    433
  670. British did not actually use pig and cow fat for their shot. It was a rumor started by local leaders because the British lowered their salary.
    432
  671. Honestly, I love this whole concept, and would adore it if you could do this for your entire backlog. A tad unreasonable, I know, but Extra History is a great way for me to pass the time while I'm washing dishes at my night job, but YouTube Autoplay doesn't always play what I want and individually selecting episodes I want can be a bit of a hassle. An hour long compilation is exactly what I need.
    432
  672. "Hey, should we stop that guy who is stealing from us?" "Nah, let him be. He's naked, we don't want to embarrass him."
    432
  673. I'm happy to see that criticism of this story is getting traction: there is no known case of lost children succumbing to their inner demons, but there are plenty of cases of lost people pulling together during crisis.
    431
  674. Adam and Eve is not the sponsor I'd expect on this channel. That shocked me at first!
    431
  675. Yet a cruel irony to that last part is that today's writers and filmmakers often portray science as being the instrument of our downfall. We venture into the vast limitless reaches of the stars, we find only horrid creatures who seek to devour us. We create new life in the form of a machine that can think, it becomes a murderous juggernaut bent on destroying us. We find the means to take control of the forces of nature, it ends in apocalyptic disaster. Scientific achievement was once portrayed in an optimistic fashion, now it seems to be something to fear as it can lead to sometimes lethal consequences.
    431
  676. I think the 1% alcohol point is important contextually. You’d have to drink a lot fast to get sloppy, which I think is important to note when the common narrative was “everyone before coffee came to Europe was at least pretty tipsy all the time”
    430
  677. It's a real sign of the times when you name a little kid as duke just so that they're less likely to try to seize the crown while you're out of town.
    429
  678. “If you’re always trying to be normal, you will never know how amazing you can be.” -Maya Angelou
    429
  679. This is why we need regulations. This is why unions exist. This is why workers need to be aggressive when it comes to their rights and protections. The Triangle Shirtwaist Fire wasn't the only or first catastrophe, it happened numerous times before and nothing was done about it because any means of addressing the dangers internally conflicted with the companies' bottom-line. Once society at large realized the risks people took everyday, and how mistreated they were by their employers, then and only then did the public put its foot down and forced legislation. That's the only way meaningful labor-reform can happen. I don't care if this unpopular to state or not, but most businesses, especially the large ones like Amazon, Walmart, and Google, don't care about their workers, and the situation is far, far, faaar worse in other parts of the world where people work now as people did at the time of the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire. Their comfort, livelihoods, and security is meaningless to them if it doesn't somehow enrich them. People need to be aware on how millions of people live and get by today, and how they could potentially improve.

  680. Hm. Reminds me of all that's happening with the gun control protests. As someone who tends to be in a constant state of anxiety over the apparent apathy and irrationality of humanity, this video gives me hope. Thank you for this.

  681. A story forever considered the gold standard of murder mystery novels 😊
    427
  682. Heck snek was responsible for resolving the Cuban Missile Crises? The more you know!
    427
  683. Yeah, as a current WP cadet, this makes complete sense. I could see this still definitely being a thing today. Hell, during covid, there were the Printer Riots, where cadets would throw their printers off of roofs and down stairwells to protest covid restrictions. Even today, Christmas dinner here is absolutely crazy with singing, cigar smoking, dancing, running naked across The Plain, and climbing on top of George Washington's statue to touch his horse's balls. We've got some weird things that happen here, and I'd love to see you guys make more videos about our rock-bound highland home, which is definitely not a prison.
    426
  684. Yeah, the South was HORRENDOUSLY hypocritical. Edit: it still is, but you get the idea.
    426
  685. This could not have been more timely. I'm working on a personal project about Vikings. Thank you for posting this!
    424
  686. 10:06 I BEG OF YOU TO COLLAB WITH Milo Rossi of MiniMinuteman channel sometime. He has an ENTIRE series titled Awful Archeology.
    423
  687. EH: "Don't google it" Me: Don't tell me what to do! "Googles it" Also me: I regreat everything 😢
    423
  688. I love that Shakespeare throws shade at his rival theater troupe during this play. "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet." is a jab at the Rose Theatre which, according to some sources, had some sewage troubles.
    422
  689. I don't think Julie can really be described as planning anything. The plans are too slow and can't keep up
    419
  690. The fact that this man lived into his early 90s without modern medicine is just astonishing
    418
  691. I'm kind of surprised at the people here mistaking a lot of what Genghis Khan did for communism. If dividing the loot to the men and destroying inefficient political systems that get in the way of military conquest is communism, than by that logic, literally many famous military leaders from Caesar to Napoleon would be communist. Dividing the loot and getting rid of old systems is really nothing new in history. This was especially common in the Roman Empire where Roman officers, after winning a battle or raiding a nearby settlement, would divide the loot among the soldiers, or in some Roman Emperors cases like Caesar, divide land to the soldiers. Not to mention the fact, that the Roman Empire is literally a history of reforms and overthrowing previous governments.

  692. I'm Navajo and I'm fully aware of this ugly system that has affected all native american cultures and to this day as a result of this system our cultures are at the risk of dying out, because the only people left practicing our cultures are the elderly but they're starting to die out especially thanks to the covid-19 pandemic. But there are a few members of the younger generation who are trying to learn about their heritage so they can practice their traditions themselves including me. At a young age I was unaware of my tribe's culture and traditions I didn't even know I was Navajo until I was 10 but since those years since I found out that I was a Navajo I decated the last 8 years of my life into learning more about my culture and heritage. And to this day I still have a lot to learn, I'm passionate about it even if it comes at a cost for example the first thing I did after learning about my heritage is to stop cutting my hair as it was tradition for men to have long hair but now that I have long hair as a result I suffered discrimination in school I even got it trouble with the teachers because of it and I only got away with it when I told them I was protected by the 1st amendment of the U.S. constitution. I just graduated a week ago and even though I'll have a long and difficult path ahead me I'll be proud of it no matter what.

  694. Let's not forget one of the biggest influences of Scandinavia on the English language, most of the names of weekdays.

  695. Giving your significant other a bouquet of Tulips is very romantic. Giving your significant other a bouquet of NFTs is…let’s say significantly less romantic.

  696. People victims of bigotry can be and many times are bigots. Suffering doesn't happens just to good people.

  697. While Dr Frankenstein seems to be depicted as having immense hubris for playing God, from everything said here it seems like the only flaw in his creation was cosmetic. The "monster" (for lack of a better term) was strong, kind, and brilliant. A plastic surgeon's touch up could make a superior being. As he was, little more care in his upbringing and perhaps introducing him to a more enlightened group of people, and this monster might have been a professor. In fact, it might be interesting to see a fan version where the monster wasn't shunned by his creator and was introduced gradually to learned men. If Frankenstein's monster was a success, save for some aesthetic issues and some depression, wouldn't there be those interested in reproducing his work? Rulers might want giants that could be educated in under a year for their armies. Others, especially the church, would probably consider this an abomination. But making a better man wasn't the most interesting application of this research. If this reanimation process could be modified to bring back a dead person with their own mind and memories intact, then perhaps death could be truly conquered.
    413
  698. This relationship is worse than getting eating by your spiderdemongirlfriend.

  699. Judging from the first minute Frankenstein sounds like he would make a great book reviewer.

  700. I'm sure the sword is pretty dandy and all, but we know it can't hold a candle to the Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog.
    412
  701. As one who has read "The Hobbit" recently, I love the amount of references that made it into this one. From the colors of the Dwarves caps, to the Trolls from "Hilda," to Smaug looking like the version from the 1977 animated "The Hobbit." Huge props on this episode! Great work!
    412
  702. "Strange women lyin' in ponds distributin' swords is no basis for a system of government! You can't expect to wield supreme executive power just 'cos some watery tart threw a sword at you!"

  704. As an organizational psychologist, i'm so glad you guys shed some light on this subject of safety and health in the work place and also the introduction of humanist progress to the industrial world. All this reforms and the ones to come after proved to be better not only for the well being of the worker and to ensure their fair and comprenhensive treatment, but also for the companies efficiency wise in the long run. This also helped close the gap between workers and administrations, creating a more efficient communication process and reducing both human loss and property damage by establising safety guidelines and programs. I could go on all day on how important this was for human rights, creating more effient and developed industries, and the modern world in general, but the important thing is that you guys created something valuable for students to start their own inquiries on the subject. Congrats on another great video, and best wishes.
    408
  705. I learned about the year without a summer (1816) about a year ago and it was so interesting to learn how one volcano (Mt Tambora) could change so much for society.
    406
  706. Elections = Mario Kart is a sentence I don't hear very often.
    404
  707. I've never understood why Romeo and Juliet has been considered a love story. It's about two teens "falling in love" over the course of a night, possibly just because Romeo is the kind of person who falls deeply in love for a week and then ditches them for someone else and then gets caught up in the family drama that gets them killed. The most functional member of the play is actually probably Paris. He follows what was considered proper courtship at the time, he doesn't even fight anyone until Romeo tries to break into Juliet's tomb (understandable because due to the feud and Romeo killing Tybalt he was under the impression he was there to break shit and cause chaos.) and he seems to actually care about Juliet's wellbeing. For better or worse Romeo puts Juliet on the spot with a hidden marriage and then gets banished for killing a member of her family while Juliet concocts a convoluted plan to go along with her boy toy even though it means leaving her family behind to someone she's known for Two Days at the most. Honestly, the play can be considered a deconstruction of rash impulsive decisions, and how needless feuds lead to pointless deaths
    403
  708. In case you are curious, the Lord of the Death's name is Mictlantecutli, and the name of the aztec underword is Mictlan, surprisingly a not so bad place to be when you die
    402
  709. the Lies episode for this one oughta be interesting
    401
  710. Please congratulate Jac - this is a very well-written series and I enjoyed it immensely.

  711. "Extra Credit Card" Some puns just write themselves.
    399
  712. Did Matt do all the voices for this story? If so, mad props!
    399
  713. the Crimean war was photographed, and the pictures from it are amazing as well as horrifying
    399
  714. I feel like YouTube is watching me like the eye of Sauron because this is precisely what I was thinking about. They see everything.

  715. During the US Civil war, a Union Infantry Regiment of mixed nationalities was called the "Garibaldi Guards" though they would be defeated when Jackson would attack Harpers Ferry.
    398
  716. Let’s be frank Japan’s political system at that time was a mess of contradictions. They had a parliament, a monarchy, and military dictatorship at the same time. I’d have a bloody headache if I was a Japanese citizen at this time.
    394
  717. Pierre and Judas live as roommates in the lowest circle of hell
    394
  718. Copied the description of romania from a travel guide, description of Dracula doesn't resemble the source material, co-opted vampire stories from elsewhere and integrated them into his story? Bram Stoker would have loved the Internet.
    393
  719. Are empires designed to fail? Is it possible to keep an empire to last for ever?
    392
  720. As someone who built a civilization with beer i can confirm that everything inside of this video is factually true.
    390
  721. I was always fascinated with the Napoleonic wars thank you for making this series
    389
  722. 1 hour of Vikings! How cool!
    388
  723. Sandman comic is amazing. The TV adaptation was really good too and covers the first 2 story arcs of the comic.
    385
  724. The subtle change in aspect ratio was key for the jump scare! Kudos!
    384
  725. "Wu Zetian didn't really have her rivals' hands and feet cut off before drowning them in wine." "That's good." "She probably just had them assassinated." "That's bad."
    381
  726. People just aren't weird and freaky like this often enough anymore
    381
  727. I wish you could've gone more in depth about the ghost dance, and how it operated. I find it as fascinating movement, but one that isn't talked about or completely remembered.
    379
  728. As a Chinese Canadian, I'm thankful for you guys bringing attention to this book and encouraging an open discussion!
    379
  729. That intro was basically how I felt after playing mafia definitive edition racing level. “Yes I WON I never wanna do that again”
    379
  730. More "so you haven't read" episodes please I know you guys have a full plate, but seriously, I think we and the audience could do with half rate (you guys pump out material).
    379
  731. Love that u guys make these corrections at the end of a series. Really makes your channel stand out with how transparent you are, and how serious you are with ur work
    379
  732. The story between the boy and his friend. Best Friends, Blood Brothers, Bitter Rivals. A sad tale, one of my favorite Extra History video series.
    379
  733. The description of the trail at 2:33 makes me think of a terrestrial version of the One Piece islands. Real life one-ups fantasy yet again.
    376
  734. Some Channels just want to watch the world learn.
    376
  735. Last time I was this early the crops were still edible. But really, this is a fantastic series on a very dark time in Ireland's history. You did a brilliant job showing the humanity and depravity of the famine. Thank you.
    375
  736. OOOOH each "Complete" gets it's own custom remix of your intro theme? That's so cool.
    375
  737. I absolutely loved this series. Can't wait for the new voted series next week! Side note: I'm happy to report that my Nana is finally back home! I'm so grateful for those who commented on my other post. 😊
    375
  738. Oh my God before this series, I had no idea about the Mongols, I only knew Genghis Khan by name, as a renown conqueror. But this, this is amazing! Can't wait for more of this series to come out! Also, I was pleasantly surprised with the release of this episode, as I thought the series on Genghis Khan was over already! Glad to see it isn't! hahaha
    374
  739. Brazilian here, and I would say that Pedro II is remembered very well, even by non-monarchists, because essentially every Brazilian leader that came after him was much worse, whether due to corruption, incompetence, authoritarianism, or more often than not, all of them.
    373
  740. Thank You guys so much, I never knew Fredrick the Great was so interesting! You present what could be a stale encyclopedic article in a fun and engaging light.
    372
  741. I’ll said it once and I’ll say it again I would love to see a extra credit d&d campaign
    372
  742. Almost the entire population of earth: "OH DEAR GOD, WHAT'S HAPPENING???" The Dutch: Ah yes, good, this looks like an excellent business opportunity."
    369
  743. Wow, Ibn was a jerk. Even with the issue of slavery, Mali was a really progressive African Empire, and I like how they blended Muslim and African cultures in a way that isn't forced. Diversity of cultures is good for human relationships and businesses. A country that is culturally homogeneous (which doesn't happen in real life) wouldn't be able to trade with other countries, and there would be risks of military conflicts.
    369
  744. I’m only in the intro right now and it’s the greatest thing I’ve ever seen. Peak video
    367
  745. Matt as a real person, instead of his own drawing. Wait, that's illegal.
    367
  746. Gonna just say that "Monte-Brew & Capulatte's" is a genius name for a coffee shop.
    366
  747. to think people once thought these things about Mars kind of makes you wonder what we presume to be true today that turns out to be nothing more the the reflection of what we want to see?
    366
  748. US soldiers, "Why are we invading in the winter! This is stupid idea!" Heer soldaten, "First time?"
    363
  749. Crime isn't that hereditary. Hey, what would I know, I just turned out to be a Geneticist instead of a criminal. Not bad for one of the Kelly clan :-)
    362
  750. Спасибо, что обратились к русскому фольклору! Успехов команде Экстра Хистори и роста аудитории канала!
    361
  751. How to extra history: 1.Explain something deadly 2. Make it look cute 3.sell it 4. Get rich So when you selling them?
    361
  752. I've watched Extra Credits for a long long time now, but it only just struck me... How come our dear narrator is the ONLY PERSON WITH SLEEVES? We've seen that he, just like everyone else, has Rayman-hands. But he is the only one with a jacket with sleeves for seemingly invisible arms.
    361
  753. Sucks having to wait a week to see another. I can’t complain these guys do a great job.
    360
  754. Egyptian Mythology please. Like the battle between Anubis and his nephew Djehuty. Edit: I'm actually surprised people got the reference.
    360
  755. Lord Dunsany is my favorite author of all time, and I'm currently working on translating his books into Arabic. I'm glad that you made this episode, and I'm glad to see more comments from people willing to read his works.
    359
  756. Wow. These people are so incredible. The things they had to remember and learn to not only survive but thrive and make it to each new island really makes me ashamed that because of my lifestyle I would never be able to pull anything like this off myself.
    359
  757. I was really hoping for Zoey to have her War elephant...
    358
  758. I'm mostly just here for history anyway. Good move y'all, and keep on keepin' on 👍🏻
    357
  759. Glad we got all these episodes out before November 5th, for absolutely no reason at all. History is important
    357
  760. OH NO I DIDN'T KNOW ZOEY ACTUALLY VOICED HERSELF HER MEOW IS SO CUTE
    357
  761. Claim to fame: I have one of the electric typewriters Zanzibar was written on. Doesn’t work anymore though...
    356
  762. Is it bad that I think the drawing of the flu virus is kinda cute?
    356
  763. Credit to the artists for going absolutely crazy this series
    355
  764. Ok, I know this is a little late/early but I like what I'm looking at. Being a guy who has caught several diseases (And Dengue TWICE) watching this series, is like watching a horror movie. The ending music didn't help either, I feel like Freddy Krueger is gonna sneak up to me only to give me a kiss and tuck me into bed, only for me to wake up in a BODY BAG after years of sleep paralysis!! I want to go home and drink my Orange Juice now.
    354
  765. The Israelis: No, you can't teleport via the ark after some of your guys have taken it, NOOOO! Meanwhile, Menelik and his bois: Haha, divine teleportation go brrr
    351
  766. This artist is really good, looks almost real
    351
  767. Your daughter has fantastic comedic timing
    350
  768. Once upon a Netflix there was a documentary called ‘how beer saved the world.’ Hard to find anymore but now the beer-goddess provides us with this.
    350
  769. Extra History on a Wednesday Thursday? It's like Christmas in February
    349
  770. Oh prester John. Clearly he was an alien
    347
  771. I wish our media didn't suck.... if they didn't care so much about "OMG VIEWERS/RATINGS/MONEY" and actually about objectively (as best as possible) telling what's going on and ALL the candidates, we might have a better system. And I hate the ones like Fox/MSNBC that do tribalistic shit.... same with the tribalism in the US in general. So much that ruins our system. And, no third parties do not "take votes" as we see that many, like in 2016, many third party votes said they'd just not have voted than voted at all. I'm SO sick of this mindset that "third party are stealing votes" cause that gives this idea that the votes were OWED to the other party. No, those third party votes were EARNED by their candidates. The other candidates sucked at earning them. Also, money is definitely 100% the biggest issue in our political process.
    347
  772. I got into such a massive argument with one of my professors in college because of this play. Ten minutes just arguing back and forth in front of an entire class. It wasn't even a literature class. It was supposed to be a political science lecture.
    344
  773. Bru I just saw a short about her and was about to look her up right when you posted this. Talk about perfect timing.
    344
  774. the extra credits crew is being overworked its only a matter of time till they start to do a revolution for less hours because i can swear a new episode comes out every other day
    344
  775. Actually, Darcy arranges a quick marriage between Wickham and Kitty when they had run away together, which could have ruined the family. So Darcy didn't rescue Kitty from Wickham, he quickly patched up Kitty' s impulsive mistake so it didn't effect the rest of the family.
    344
  776. There's a genre of game today like dnd that's called Journal RPG. I play it a lot. Now I fear someday after I'm gone someone would discover the secret of my "double life".
    341
  777. I have to say the art on most of Extra Credits stuff is fun to look at and does a good job making the subject matter more digestible but the art in these episodes has been legitimately awesome just to look at. This episode in particular with the film noir/modernist pop art style and the fluid transformation of the creatures from one form to another looked great.
    341
  778.  @FistoftheSnackBar  Basically the rapture will happen when everybody loses faith that it will happen
    341
  779. SIMPLE GEOMETRY!
    340
  780. Always enjoy a Extra History video. They dive into a diverse amount of topics.
    339
  781. Good grief, EH! That cliff-hanger! Looking forward to more!
    338
  782. Soraya is like the teacher you have the year after your favorite teacher taught the same subject. You think the class is gonna suck but she ends up being your new favorite
    338
  783. It’s like extra history only with magic
    337
  784. As a direct descendant of an English survivor of the Charge of the Light Brigade, I'm loving this deep dive into the history of its most famous action. Thanks EH!
    336
  785. Such an important time to talk about this
    334
  786. Our branches aren't co-equal, Congress is explicitly the supreme branch of government. It's why it is the only branch that can remove members of the other branches, has control over all federal courts save for the Supreme Court, and can override a presidential veto. Congress was always intended to be the main branch of the federal government, since it's the most representative of the three.
    333
  787. Henry Ford sure is a facinating historicsl figure, one I learned about as young as nine, which I don't think most Swedish children did.
    330
  788. Nice to see that getting completely sloshed during the holidays has always been a longstanding tradition 👍
    330
  789. Wow that was a hell of trick to pull on a trickster poor spider moma
    330
  790. It's 11 pm in India and that jumpscare scene at the end really took me off-guard and out of sleep😂
    329
  791. Imposing, grand, desolate and beautiful. Truly a work of art worthy of an unparalleled conqueror.
    328
  792. Fun Fact: France were in alliance with the Ottomans to rival the Habsburg Empire. The plan was that the Ottomans would attack the Habsburg from Belgrade while France would invade from the West. Plus Constantinople was renamed Istanbul in the 20th century. N finally, I want to say that u guys at Extra Credits have my utmost respect for your stand on sensitive issues n ur videos. Please continue to work like this.
    327
  793. Thank you, Jordan. Your work has been absolutely fantastic, and each of us wishes the best for you in your future endeavors.
    327
  794. Looks like the World Eater... Got his Kammapance
    326
  795. GG! I've been waiting for this since 660K
    325
  796. That was the FASTEST 10m I've had in a while! Very well done!
    325
  797. That whole lobbyist issue is why I hate that there is so much money involved in politics. Why should I vote for anyone if they're gonna spend most of their time in office scratching the backs of lobbyists?
    324
  798. I genuinely believe this is the best episode done by this channel.
    323
  799. 5:18 I have a feeling the sound bite is going become popular. Also maybe my imagination, but it sounded like the take used in the video had a hint of Matt laughing. So how many takes did it take Matt to get through saying that line.
    323
  800. Rather than do a series specifically on slavery maybe it would be interesting to do a series on the philosophy and practice of liberation throughout history. That way you can focus on the slave rebellions, the liberators, the philosophers, and legislators who freed people, rather than focussing on those who, in denying the liberty of others for profit, should be cursed and forgotten.
    322
  801. As an italian, I started the video thinking I'd see a less glamorous image of Garibaldi than the one I'd been taught in school. Instead it turns out Giuseppe was even more of a badass than I was ever told.
    322
  802. I am so grateful that I learned about Wu from the Extra History team first instead of some warped pop-culture interpretation of her. Although I always love learning about popular historical or mythological characters such as Vlad the Impaler, Rasputin, or Hercules, if I’m first exposed to them through popular culture (which almost always takes millions of liberties in regards to historical accuracy), that’s what I always think of first. Whenever I have to write about them for whatever reason, I have to constantly fight a mental war with myself to remember, no, Vlad the Impaler was not an immortal vampire who tried to eat a Victorian lawyer, Rasputin was not a spiteful sorcerer who sold his soul for a demonic reliquary to curse the Romanovs, and Hercules had way too much anger issues to be considered Superman in Ancient Greece. Because of this series, I will think of Wu Zetian as a cunning, manipulative, power-grabbing master of political intrigue and seduction (which I admit is not the most flattering view). However, I won’t remember her as some unhinged, megalomaniacal psycho-bitch who was murderously evil for its own sake and justified excluding women from positions of power and authority. I had never heard the name Wu Zetian before her name came up on the Patreon poll, but you’d better believe that will never forget that name now that I’ve finished this series, and I’ll never think of her as the heartless demon empress her enemies tried to cast her as. This was a fantastic series, and I look forward to watching the Lies Episode.
    321
  803. Looking for the Articles of Confederation? Never fear, that series will continue every Saturday as usual! This extra series is just that: an extra episode of Extra History every (extra) week! It will not interfere with our regular Saturday release schedule.
    319
  804. I find this video fascinating, and dedicated it to our teachers in Oklahoma who want better school funding for our children, and a better pay!
    318
  805. This taught me more about Maya Angelou than an entire semester's worth of English classes
    318
  806. A real American hero.
    318
  807. Me and the bois reading withering heights instead of wuthering heights
    317
  808. I actually cried a little when they got to this part in the episode.
    317
  809. Awesome analysis of Frankenstein, I love how you talked about the core of science fiction.
    317
  810. Thomas-Alexandre Dumas was actually the father of Alexandre Dumas, the famous author and playwright who wrote The Three Musketeers. Dumas Sr’s story is actually pretty tragic, but it might get covered in a later part of the series so I won’t say.
    317
  811. So Campbell is to be blamed for the spread of Scientology? It's quite ironic that a man that promoted science is responsible for spreading wacky ideas and superstitions.

  812. I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU GUYS DID AN EPISODE ON ELEANOR !!! SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!
    314
  813. By seeing how the Crusade was done, we can all agree that Frederick was an adept of "Work Smarter, not Harder" approach of things.
    314
  814. It’s amazing how ancient stories can give us so much information through how they were interpreted
    314
  815. Extra Credits  Or perhaps Walpole's face...
    313
  816. 2:05 Dr. Strange would like to have a word with you.
    313
  817. This is such a great way to learn history, with interesting stories and animations, not listening to some professor drone on, or reading from a textbook. This is a great channel, love the idea! Keep up the good work.
    313
  818. Damn my Euro-centric education! How am I only learning about all this NOW!?!
    312
  819. Wow, learning that about Dick's life really does contextualize all his work. I have read "Do Androids Dream", "Ubik", and "In a Scanner Darkly" and that information changes all of them. I guess this is an instance where "death of the author" is less possible because Dick's world view permeates so much of his material.
    312
  820. It is important to understand the past's history that coincidentally connects to today's world. Even after forced labor has been disapproved in the U.S., it currently still being used all around the world. This video reminds us that working in an unsafe environment is still in this society.
    312
  821. The Sandman is one of the greatest works of fiction in the last 100 years. It's amazing. Gaiman is a God of fantasy writing....
    311
  822. Even though I don't really drink alcohol myself, this has been a very fascinating series! Beer is a drink that truly has shaped human history as we know it. :)
    311
  823. John Adams was the fucking man. Super underrated founding father. One thing left out in this episode is that he single-handedly drafted the Massachusetts Constitution, which is not only the longest-living constitution in history, but also provided a template for the US Federal Constitution. Literally the exact same system of checks and balances. dabs for John Adams
    310
  824. Baba yaga is very popular through out eastern Europe. Especially in Poland since everyone knows the story here Edit: There's also a game everyone played called Baba yaga looks ( english) Baba Jaga patrzy! (Polish) Its just the typical if he seen you move you loose
    307
  825. Can I have your scarf, boots and gloves? Probably the coolest dressed person to ever come on the show (sorry james)
    306
  826. the pace at which you're drinking eggnog is kinda worrying dude :P
    305
  827. Shrimp! Heaven! Now!
    304
  828. Extra History and messing up flags? never heard that before.
    302
  829. In my opinion it would be nice to mention Robin Hood, and Magna Carta with the insulation of Disney's film. In many ways John "Lackland" deserved that very nice song "The Phony King of England"
    302
  830. Wow....this is sad. Seeing your own creation being destroyed in the scrap heap by your own father is an emotionally destructive experience.
    301
  831. So Adolf had a life-size portrait of Henry Ford? And people think that body-pillows with anime characters is a modern thing…
    301
  832. As an Italian, I can tell you that your work is outstanding. Viva Garibaldi!
    301
  833. this was like a combo episode of extra history and sci fi, verry enjoyable
    300
  834. The lesson: Don't tease the Norse in matters involving cats. They get really Thor about it.
    299
  835. Being Irish this was absolutely mind blowing, Firstly I’m almost ashamed that I didn’t know of this man before this. I know most of the history around the Easter rising but never knew this story and did not know that the legendary Micheal Collins was buried with this mans belt on, thank you for introducing me to this man!
    297
  836. take your time, don't actually hit the books though, they're better in mint condition.
    296
  837. SO happy to see Extra Mythology come back!! Such a good series! I wonder if you guys will find more material to possibly see Extra Sci-fi come back? ^^ Keep up the amazing work!! :D
    296
  838. And, perhaps the greatest gift of non-euclidian geometry: A way for Lovecraft to finally describe anything
    295
  839. Literally the only YouTube channel to make math fun
    295
  840. I'm a christian but I've always admired Buddhism for its clarity and kindness. It will be good to learn more about Buddhism.
    294
  841. Luckily there's ruins of the Templo Mayor in Mexico City so you can learn more about the Aztecs
    294
  842. Liked just for the reference to "how to turn a sphere inside out"
    293
  843. “I know their game. First, the traders and the missionaries: then the ambassadors: then the cannon. It's better to go straight to the cannon.” -Emperor Tewodros ll the great
    293
  844. Watched a YouTube video by NaShan Clay recently on how much damage the no crying rule does to young people. When you aren't allowed to vent your feelings through tears, you vent them through anger. And when you aren't allowed to show or cope with emotions, but have to bottle them up inside up, they build up over time instead of healing.
    292
  845. The worst part is, sometimes we can't even all agree what is or is not against the rules. For instance... "living constitution"- Feature, exploit, or game breaker?
    292
  846. SirFredrin And their enemy wasn't even unknown! I feel cheated.
    292
  847. I am surprise you didn't mention the cousin to Seventh Day Adventist: the Jehovah Witness. As the founder of the "Bible Student" movement, Charles Taze Russell later stated that "I confess indebtedness to Adventists as well as to other denominations", as it did started out as an Adventist Bible study group.
    289
  848. This video pretty much explains why I think Norse mithlolgy is a LOT better then Greek mithlolgy. Not only is their actual drama here, but the Norse gods actually have to deal with the problems their actions cause. Most of the conflict in Greek mithlolgy pretty much boils down to "Zues didn't keep it in his pants again." with the Greek gods NEVER having to face what they have allowed to happen just because their gods.
    288
  849. Man, this video makes me Verne for more! I'm so, so sorry.
    288
  850. Sounds like something from Plants vs Zombies.
    288
  851. The VOC: Where to match the sheer amount of wealth they had (adjusted for inflation) you have to combine the entire Fortune 500
    287
  852. I love how informative this series has been and cannot wait to hear your team's take on the Mongols! Cue the Mongoltage!
    287
  853. History via wrestling 🤩🤩 the team of ExtraHistory is full of genius .
    287
  854. I read the book around 1973 to 1974, my senior year in high school. I was also taking Russian as a foreign language. The main characters use of Russian was cringe worthy for me. I always did get a laugh out of "horrorshow", anglicized version of "хорошо".
    286
  855. Regular People: I can sing songs and stuff! Son Tinh & Thuy Tinh: Pathetic
    286
  856. I can't help being reminded of how Alistair Crowley's greatest battle basically came down to two LARPers screaming "Fireball!" at each other until one kicked the other in the jaw (See ExtraHistory: Secret Societies playlist for more on that)
    284
  857. Peter the third certainly has one of the best influence on history to time on the throne ratio ever. He was emperor for such a short time but in that time he single handedly saved Prussia. What a difference that made Oh btw. It’s Habsburg not Habsberg. They carry the name of their origin-castle in modern Switzerland and „Burg“ means „castle“, while „Berg“ would mean „mountain“
    284
  858. I'll admit, beer (and alcohol in general) ain't my drug of choice, but this series has been absolutely fascinating regardless!
    282
  859. Looking forward to this series! Another area I didn't learn much about in my schooling days :)
    280
  860. 3:21 I have to assume this happened a lot, and I know that for a lot of human history a lot of people didn't really bother distinguishing between history and folklore. History is fascinating.
    280
  861. I had just cracked a beer before seeing this in my notifications. Perfect timing.
    280
  862. We need an episode on the history of tea, I would watch that any day!
    279
  863. I know of him because of the Otter that has been terrorizing the Dr sun yat sen garden in Vancouver BC, and eating all the koi fish.
    278
  864. I'm genuinely curious, is it a bad thing in norse myth to be undefeated in battle? Would someone who could never be slain, who fought to their last breathe but was taken by age rather than someone else still go to hel?
    278
  865. Im buddhist and it's nice to see Extra History cover the History of my religion.
    277
  866. The Battle of "Guan"du One of the reasons why "Guan" Yu, become "Guan" Gong :)
    277
  867. This woman was literally about to marry useful Aquaman.
    276
  868. Of course.... Zoe is the mastermind
    276
  869. This video is amazing just for the references. But looking beyond that, there's also some really good literary education in here too! Extra SciFi - Come for the Walpole cameo, stay for insight into the history of western literature!
    275
  870. I was horrified at 7:21. Seriously I felt my blood go cold.
    275
  871. Found the phrase "Deus ex marriage-a" rather clever and funny. Good one.
    275
  872. So, me being an undecided voter, is the voter with the most influence/attention? Wow
    274
  873. I was raised on Tolkein literature, and this is always a good story.
    274
  874. One complaint, Scotland agreed to the act of union after the failure of the Darien scheme and that was proposed by a Scottish dynasty of monarchs in off itself and the Scottish and English parliaments were merged. So, conquest is really the wrong word for that example, right armmy?
    274
  875. The -by ending is a Norse ending, not Anglo-Saxon. Go look at maps of Denmark, Sweden and Norway and you'll find as many places with that ending as there are in England. The endings -thorpe and -dale are also Norse in origin. Anglo-Saxon endings tend to be -ton (as mentioned), -ham or -bury (plus variations on this word such as -borough, -brough or -burgh).
    274
  876. Videos like these trip me up because I've heard at least a couple different versions of this story already, and there's always details that differ between them. Still fun to watch though!
    273
  877. I've been watching extra history for years now I love you guys videos they've taught me a lot of things
    272
  878. I remember when the poll for this series went live on Patreon, and I was disappointed to see that my pick of Hildegard von Bingen didn't win (especially since I was the one who suggested it as an option). But man, two episodes in, and I've never been so glad to see my suggestion passed over.
    272
  879. I love that this guy, who's very important, all he really did was let people know "this exists" and then basically failed his way into getting an award named after him.
    271
  880. My Zoey Plush also finally came in! :_ExtraEmojiShiny::_ExtraEmojiHeart:
    271
  881. I would really like that "Marginal Votes" as a board game. Where you bid on a table of facedown circles and spend actions and cards to gain or lose votes. for example: playing a card like "Community engagement: gain 5 votes and if no opponent spends an action on this issue: gain all marginal votes." it would be kinda neat.
    270
  882. The water problem is to pump water from the nearby Tonlé Sap (Great Lake). Part of the Tonlé Sap Biosphere Reserve, this is Southeast Asia’s largest lake and one of the world’s most significant wetland ecosystems, due to its unique environmental qualities and extraordinary biodiversity. The variety of fauna and flora of Tonlé Sap is depicted in the bas-reliefs of Angkor’s Bayon Temple. Many of its plant species are used for religious and medicinal purposes by Cambodians. Two million Cambodians also depend on the bounty of the lake’s freshwater fisheries – one of the most productive in the world, with an annual fish harvest of over 250,000 metric tons. It is crucial for the Cambodian government to weigh the environmental impact before it approves any project to pump water to Siem Reap. The biosphere, which is also the cradle of the Tonlé Sap River, has enormous significance for Cambodians. It acts as a flood mediator for the Mekong River, which flows through five other Southeast Asian countries, so its significance reaches far beyond Cambodia. Each year, during the rainy season, the Mekong water level rises and overflows into the Tonlé Sap River which, instead of draining the lake as it does during the dry season, is forced to change direction and flow back ‘up’ into the lake. This phenomenon makes the Mekong the only major river in the world to flow in two directions at different times of the year. This annual flood raises the lake level from 1 to 1.5 meters up to 8 to 10 meters, increasing its area fivefold, as it spills out over the floodplain. One of the world’s great conservation success stories, which includes the revival of several species of endangered birds since protection efforts started in 1999, Tonlé Sap and its floodplain have been listed as the Tonlé Sap Biosphere Reserve under UNESCO’s Man and the Biosphere Programme (MAB). The 20% year-on-year increase in tourism has also contributed to environmental pollution. Waste control remains an ongoing problem, though many of the temples are swept and cleaned ritually. Rubbish heaps are a common sight in Siem Reap, and tourists and locals think nothing of dumping garbage and wastewater directly into the river. Residents living along the Siem Reap river have complained the water is too dirty to use or bathe in. They say that twelve years ago, the water was so clean, they could use it in their homes. Today, the river is dark and dirty, and the water stinks, according to residents. While Phnom Kulen (“Mountain of Lychees”), twenty-five miles northeast of Angkor Wat, is off the beaten track for the hordes of tourists that descend upon the temples each day, the ill effects of deforestation have eaten into the lush tree cover there. Located upstream, water from the Kulen mountain is another source that flows through the Siem Reap river basin and runs into the Tonlé Sap lake. Here, illegal logging and the planting of cash crops such as cashew trees and beans have adversely affected hydrological patterns in the entire ecosystem and impacted fish productivity. UNESCO recently launched a pilot project: “Enhancing and Restoring Water Systems in Angkor World Heritage Site and Siem Reap City(link is external)”. It uses the sustainability science approach to propose solutions and initiate a sustainable transformation of socio-environmental interactions in the river basin. Policy, legal and institutional frameworks are strengthened through collaborative linkages, learning alliances and targeted interventions for capacity-building at the pilot area, at the national, regional and community levels.

  883. My favorite tidbit about reconstructing Latin is how there have been a few preserved rants in latin about how people are mispronouncing it.
    268
  884. whatever stringed instrument they are playing, they are playing it masterfully the Kiners never cease to impress
    268
  885. I think it has something to do with population. The coast of the South China Sea was (and still is) historically one of the most densely populated regions in the world. It is easier to create massive pirate fleet when you have a larger pool of manpower, who have lost their livelihood due to famine and war, to draw from. Contrast this to the more famous buccaneers who operated in a (by comparison) vastly less densely populated region in the Americas.
    267
  886. I remember being slightly bored reading it until Darcy proposed I sat straight up in my bed and was hooked for the rest of the book
    267
  887. Lovely episode for this important and happy anniversary! I really like that you showed the role of Poland, Hungary, and Czechoslovakia in the process. BTW the Polish elections in June 1989 weren't actually 100% free, but the Solidarity made the most of the compromise negotiated in the Round table Talks preceding the elections, effectively ending the one-party dictatorship. The whole thing could really be its own episode or even series.
    267
  888. Well, the Declaration of Independence isn't actually a design doc. It was more of a social media post saying that they were going to make a game and why they thought the game needed to be made. Few of the Declarations most famous principles actually made it into the Constitution.
    267
  889. I'm learning things that I was never taught in school. Thank you and keep up the incredible work! ❤😊
    267
  890. You showed FDR in his wheelchair! As a wheelchair user myself that makes me so happy!
    266
  891. Why does Liu Bei hold a halberd? I think you may have mistaken him for Lu Bu. In the novel, Liu Bei uses a pair of long swords. Technically, Cao acted with or I would even say under Yuan Shao after the coalition for the quelling of the Black Mountain Bandits, against Yuan Shu and Gongsun Zan. Only when he gained the control over the imperial court, Cao goes on his separate way from Yuan Shao, but even then he had to appease him by giving him a higher court rank than his.
    265
  892. I think it is interesting how the things that made Fredrick “the antichrist” wasn’t his cruelty to peasants (which is frankly par for the course) but simply his issue with papal authority
    265
  893. Do Celtic, Polynesian, cambodian, Native American, African, Chinese, Japanese, and Indian.
    263
  894. "Clearly, Joan's failure came from God punishing her arrogance, for what else could you call a woman expecting to be part of the truce negotiations and whatnot like she was a victorious general or something? Clearly it's not a sign that anything we did was wrong, or the natural result of attacking the best-fottified city in France with tactics designed for field fortifications." And thus Joan learned that being on a mission from God has its drawbacks. Failure is not just the result of a mistake or harsh odds, but of personal moral flaws.
    262
  895. Being Québécois myself, I got to study this event from the French side, so it's nice to see the other side of the history, in a non nationalistic way. Love every single one of your well researched videos and hope to see more to come!
    262
  896. Sees Bismarck in the title “I need this” edit: OMG thank you so much for all the likes( 125 are you joking). Also a favorite from senpai. edit 2: I just looked at it again and.. 150 LIKES OMG THANKS!
    262
  897. I give massive props to this series for constantly introducing me to fascinating historical figures I'd have likely never heard about otherwise 😊
    262
  898. Especially since it's been in the queue for months beforehand. Fate has a funny sense of humor.
    261
  899. Thank you for covering something I knew about. It's silly, but it makes me feel smart.
    260
  900. Catherine de Bourgh is actually Darcy’s aunt not his cousin. She’s his mothers sister.
    260
  901. I feel as if I had STEPPED into a great man's shoes
    259
  902. I always think "this is the best music the Kiners have ever done for EH", and they prove me wrong in the next series!
    259
  903. Hey guys, if you're looking for other incredible figures from a bit later than this period with many of the same very modern persuasions, you guys should check out the Chevalier D'Eon - a gender-ambiguous (right up until their death!) diplomat and dueling spy. Very cool and interesting story here though. Thank you for bringing Julie's story to the forefront!
    259
  904. Charles XII has nothing on Loki when it comes to being a lousy guest.
    259
  905. one of my fav things are how we're starting to get these lines of history series tied together rather than a bunch of individual series ALSO THAT START WAS REALLY CHILLING
    257
  906. In his deciphering of the Bible... in EVERY deciphering of the Bible aimed at finding the date or time, HOW do people keep missing the following? "Noone knows the day or the hour" Or even WORSE, the statement that Christ HIMSELF doesn't know when he's coming back... But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
    254
  907. The "Pots that make the beer good" made me laugh out loud, i love it when we translate ancient things and they are literal descriptors. It makes ancient peoples far more relatable. As always a great video.
    252
  908. "Religiously open-minded: speaks fluent Arab" Huh! Damn. "keeps a harem" wha-
    252
  909. Olenna Tyrell being based of Eleanor is so fitting
    252
  910. Wait...how did they get a carriage inside their house?!
    252
  911. I think I might be too tired to watch right now. I heard "...is dead" and my brain immediately went "lol me"
    251
  912. Interesting that you're covering recent books as well as classics.
    249
  913. I this channel is just so warm and kind. :D I love it in here
    248
  914. Bro was the greatest crusader without even trying
    248
  915. "Thank you, animated Matt". Ok, it's official: In the EH "lore", there are two Matts, and one of them is animated.
    246
  916. As a Native American who came from the Sioux, I appreciate all of these videos about our past, especially Sitting Bull and his ever-lasting defense of what we called home. Extra History, I thank you.
    246
  917. 0:34 guess i do have excellent eyesight. AND OH MY GOD HE HAS A KNIFE
    246
  918. My son was diagnosed with diabetes two weeks ago so he is alive only thanks to insulin now. So really looking forward to watching this after he will be sleeping in half an hour hopefully :-)
    246
  919. I had heard of the Millerites and the "Great Disappointment," and I had heard of the Seventh-Day Adventists but I had no idea that they were connected. Interesting!
    245
  920. As a Quebecer it’s fun to see you talking about my home! Bonne journée!
    245
  921. Extra History Complete is probably one of my top 5 favorite series on this channel! Keep up the great work Extra History!
    244
  922. If you think about it, letting this ex-pirate have a personal squadron of merchant ships was actually a pretty good idea. As a former pirate queen, who would know piracy better than her? At her command, you could be assured that her ships would never be robbed or attacked, that she would be able to outmaneuver or outfight anyone who threatened her, that any cargo under her care would always get through safely. The only things able to stop her would be the gods and the sea.
    244
  923. Examining evidence from Greek and Latin authors from 700 BC to AD 900, the book demonstrates the important technological as well as ideological contributions the Europeans made to beer throughout the ages. The study is supported by textual and archaeological evidence and gives a fresh and fascinating insight into an aspect of ancient life that has fed through to modern society and which stands today as one of the world's most popular beverages
    243
  924. "The Pope's sexy time bed" is a phrase that cannot be unheard and will now live rent free in my mind. 😆
    243
  925. This shows got me more knowledge of the US problem in early 1800s. My school here in Finland didn't cover much, well at all these times, so its great to learn about the times! Keep up the great work❤
    241
  926. IIRC Suzanne Collins was referencing the tail of Theseus and the Minotaur with the Hunger games, hence why the releasing of vicious unnatural monsters into the arena to kill off kids that are getting too good at hiding from their competitors is such a recurring theme of the games.
    241
  927. I was about to ask who the pater of the EC society was, but then I realized it's Zoey. Of course it's Zoey.
    241
  928. Hey, good on my home state for sponsoring this! Minnesota, represent!
    241
  929. A trivia. In Angola local language "Quimbundo" there are 4 or 5 categories of names according to certain circumstances of the baby birth. For examples Queen Nzinga as a baby born with the umbilical cord around her neck would traditionally receive the name of "Lubambo". (Oscar Ribas is the most comprehensive author about the subject of myths, language and culture of Angola.)
    241
  930. I love this tradition! We used to learn about it in class everyday and we all made mini yule goats. Nice video my man. ❤
    240
  931. I was alone when I watched this and let me say I do not laugh when I am alone. laughing is for when there are other people around and you want to lighten the mood, but I kid you not when he said the punchline I laughed for a solid 30 seconds and was lightheaded for a while after. That is all.
    240
  932. From what I remember, both families seemed to copy each others lifestyles and they HATED that; which makes the whole feud even dumber than one realizes
    240
  933. And goats were used the same way. Also, Polynesians carried chickens and charting the DNA of wild and domestic chickens in the pacific islands and in South America is telling us how prolifically the Polynesians traveled.
    239
  934. It's a cautionary tale of why cellphones are great
    239
  935. I was hyped that Vietnam was in Civ 6 and now this is here
    238
  936. Henry Ford racing cars himself, funny this hasn't been covered more in other media!
    238
  937. This caught me off guard, but rather intriguing. Might encourage people to look a little more closely into politics. =) Does make me wonder though: if one tried looking at other countries' politics through this game design lens, how similar or different would they be?
    238
  938. Just little something about the pronunciations Temujin- sounds like tem-uu-Jing the u is pronounced much longer Uesugei- the u isn’t there so it’s more Esuuhey (the g’s sound more like h’s) Jamukha- jamuha with the h being heavily sounded Bortey?- burtuu Just a little something for anyone who’s interested (perfect timing for the series too cuz it comes a traditional holiday here) Edit- borte isn’t burtuu but is burtee (brain fart right there)
    237
  939. I loved Zoey in the endcard. Fly kitty!
    236
  940. Prophecies, holy trials, and messages from angels. Stuff most modern people would call superstition, or even madness. But let's not go all amateur psychiatrist on Joan; to history, where people believed orders came from is often more important than their true source. Also, the patient died centuries before the birth of modern psychology. We don't have precise enough reports to diagnose anything but piety.
    235
  941. This series teaches people the meta of politics. If you watch a competitive Melee video, and know nothing about Smash Bros, it's completely incomprehensible. You know nothing. But if you've played a bit of Melee, you can see the strategies of the players developing, and being implemented. The same with Politics. It's obtuse fro the outside, but once you've watched a couple tutorial videos (like this one) you can see the players' moves and plays, and understand the game.
    235
  942. Got to respect Delilah's work commitment. Take that over Samson's easy super strength any day.
    234
  943. If the Mythology videos continue to be a thing, I hope the Egyptian pantheon is explored. They seem really interesting, but Greek and Norse mythos tend to get most of the love. (Yeah, I know this one was sponsored- I just mean in general. :) )
    233
  944. man, it feels damn good to see my channel show up on a "things you might not have tried" style list. Thanks so much for the shoutout Dan!
    232
  945. The problem with Lovecraft is "Our position in the universe might not be what we think it is and that's terrifying" to him was "straight white men aren't inherently better than everyone else, and we should treat people outside of that demographic well."
    231
  946. Finally 4M subscribers, still an underrated channel

  947. This is amazingly uplifting and especially empowering for a young woman coming into her own. Thank you for bringing this amazing role model into the light. I’m going to share this with a ton of people I know who could use the inspiration and motivation this stirred in me! ^-^
    231
  948. It is always good to have a second teacher of history, books, and even mythology. Keep up the great work, Extra Credits people!
    230
  949. Daaaaaammmn Dan(iel), back at it again with the non-euclidian geometry!
    230
  950. Walpole, Jr, backing knockoffs of a French version of a play which happens to minimize the anti-Walpole criticisms of the original? Like father, like son.
    230
  951. wait... does the name of the café change to correlate with all the books they talk about? I would go check but I will just assume yes bc its more fun like that
    228
  952. So wait, did the Kiners just up and learn how to play Kora over a long weekend, or do they just like, put an ad on craigslist with the money you pay them?
    226
  953. Great bit of music, just shows the tense buildup for Japan going from industrialized nation to militarized empire, up to its most fateful decision.

  957. James and Dan, have explained this before in a Q&A. The answer is : "a mix of both". Most of the time "me" means the writer (which in EC is usually James, and in this series i believe is Soraya). But Dan also reviews and edit each script before recording, and he would make slight adjustments on format and style to it, and so, it also reflects "his thinking". TL;DR: ME refers to "Character Dan" regardless of who wrote the script.

  959. This episode had the most beautiful artwork to date in any of your videos! Huge props to the artists!
    222
  960. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Thank you for covering company towns! Ever since Hardspace Shipbreaker came out I've wanted extra credits to cover this horrible topic. Growing up in Pennsylvania where the coal mining and steel industry were huge we were taught all about this topic, bur sadly most of the rest of the US, much less the world, know not just the hopelessness of the people, but the horrors and how very very recent this all is.
    222
  961. Latin America and the Phillipines had a completely opposite history with Christmas, it's not just one day; its a whole season of festivities. In Mexico it begins since Advent with "Las Posadas" and then comes Nochebuena or "Good Night" (Christmas Eve), then a less formal Thanksgiving like party on Christmas Day. Then more revelry in New Years (in Mexico they follow the Spanish custom of eating 13 grapes, each for each month of the year plus one, at midnight) and also cider is preferred in many homes to Champagne. Then comes the "Rosca de Reyes" or fruit glazed round cake and then the children get their presents. And last on Candlemass (La Candelaria) you feast on Tamales of all flavors, colors and sizes and then finally its over.
    221
  962. For a moment I thought James had written a book. Btw, James, you should totally write a book, and I will totally buy it.
    221
  963. The Napoleon of Italy he deserved his own movie or better his own series, like how HBO Rome is based on Juilus Caescar ❤
    221
  964. Guys, you've been covering Garibaldi's life better than how my high school textbook in Italy did.
    221
  965. Man,the Romans were the greatest hypocrites of antiquity. They saw someone doing the exact same thing only with more local resources and they were like: Barbarian!
    220
  966. WALPOLE MOMENT!!! Did you know that the HMS Walpole was part of the D-Day invasion? WALPOLE WAS RIGHT THERE... -JP
    219
  967. I like bean-ally and bean-rob desperately running after the little animated car with Zoey and the child in it.
    219
  968. Wish you had mentioned Elizabeth Farrell, the woman who carried the surrender to the British. She was photoshopped out of the photo of the surrender. Also a nod to Margaret Skinnider who fought in the rising and was wounded in the fighting would be nice too. Otherwise a solid episode.
    219
  969. These intros are genuinely amazing, great job y’all! Watching this series with a Buddhist friend of mine rn.
    218
  970. The university made all of the human factors majors read this book, and through them I found this book. It's crazy how accurately he predicted technology. I also like that Hiro and YT are absolutely not hooked up at the end even though they are set up as the main man and woman in the story.
    217
  971. Japanese mythology PLEASE.
    216
  972. This has to be the first time an episode of the series covers a book that I actually have read. Because I read this book several years ago to prepare myself for the movie. Though I never did see it, I’m glad I read the book anyway.
    214
  973. 5:17 I really appreciate that you include the people not really mentioned, not only is it more accurate but also puts things to perspective
    214
  974. Your talk about third-party candidates makes me wonder...how do these rules work outside of the USA? Not just "how do small parties affect elections when there aren't just two serious parties," but "how many of these things are true in foreigh countries, and how true are they?"
    214
  975. Yayyy, Dutch history!!!! As a Dutch person myself I am absolutely stoked!!
    213
  976. Fun Fact: Sitting Bull's headdress is on display at Royal Ontario Museum in the Daphne Cockwell Gallery dedicated to First Peoples art & culture. I've seen it with my own eyes. 🧐
    213
  977. I know Medici where not without spilled blood, but attack during mass is real low blow. (And shows how messed up renaissance Italy was since this wasn’t even the first time. And how corrupt catholic church was when a mercenary is more afraid to sacrilege than two priests.) Why were people allowed to carry weapons in a church? Weren’t those supposed to be left into a designated space?
    212
  978. A new Extra Credits video! I'm all Set to Bast in its glory

  979. Trojan Malware inspiration

  980. The animation has gotten better and better with each video. Kudos to you Extra History!
    211
  981. Don't forget to mention how bad poetry came about, when Odin accidentally pooped out some of that poetry juice in eagle form while running (or I guess flying) away from giants. (Well, according to Neil Gaiman at least. But I like that version the best!)
    211
  982. Anyone else getting a serious Gracchi brothers vibe?
    210
  983. I pray we don't return to a time of gun slinging in the streets as normal 😢
    210
  984. Thank you all at the extra credits team. These videos are amazing to use in the classroom for my world history class. My sophomores live them with their narratives and fun artwork. I like them for the diverse range of topics you cover.... many of which add to my curriculum. Keep up the great work!

  985. It's ridiculous that the Flu Pandemic of 1918 isn't better known. I guess people focus more on WWI, Prohibition, The Great Depression, then WWII in that period, but it killed 3-5% of the world population. Not just infect that many, but killed them. This flu had a mortality rate of 10-20%, whereas usual flu epidemics are closer to 0.1%. Not only that, but unlike most lethal diseases, it was more deadly to young adults than the very old or very young who normally get hit worse by such diseases. The severity of the pandemic was censored in the media because of WWI (don't want to show your enemy weakness or hurt moral). Spain, being neutral, didn't censor it, leading people to think they were hit hardest, leading to the disease being called "Spanish Flu."

  988. What makes this awesome, is that in my history class we are right now learning about the Civil War and this video suddenly came up in my recommendation. Thanks for teaching me, what I needed to know.
    208
  989. Yes! Ray Bradbury! Will you, by any chance, be covering Fahrenheit 451? Also, congratulations to David! This series' art has been absolutely astonishing so far, full of character and emotion!

  991. Yes Extra History time!!! Lets gooo :_ExtraEmojiWalpole:
    206
  992. I like the format you went with, but I think update videos would fare better on a quarterly basis than a monthly one. Rather than previewing upcoming videos, this would allow you to talk about more general plans and ideas that are not yet finalized to gauge which ideas are strong or weak based on community reactions.
    206
  993. This is why I like this channel. I get to learn new and amazing things that even as a history buff I have never learned. This is how I relax with high school finals coming up. Thank you Matt and the extra history team!
    205
  994. I love how to Dan every journalist is just perpetually screaming "WHAT A SCOOP!" in 1930s talkies voice. Also, is it really that common and well known for different groups to just hand money to major political parties and go "so hey uh we friends now right? AGGRESIVE WINKING "
    203
  995. More Norse mythology
    203
  996. Imagine having to watch this a day later, couldn't be me.
    203
  997. I like how most of this is basically about how scary Genghis Khan was and how much of it was just people being scared. P.S. Someone let Jac know their boots & gloves are really cool.
    202
  998. You have to remember, at the time the US military academy at West Point was rapidly becoming like the British Army where rich and powerful individuals put their sons there to earn a officers commission for the sake of maintaining prestige and power. Discipline was before Thayer was not the order of the day per se. Rather they would try their hardest to ensure everyone graduated and the parents would be in the commandant's debt. It was a semi corrupt system that produce semi effective officers.
    202
  999. I love how you transcend classical literature into modern scifi principles

  1000. His soul goes marching on. Glory glory hallelujah.
    201
  1001. 4:50 I'm such a big nerd that I named all these Pokemon as they popped up, without thinking :P
    201
  1002. I think this was one of the better books I had to read while in high school. But also one of the hardest to analyze. There were just so many themes to write about.
    201
  1003. On the notion of redemption and non-violence, the famous Ashura statue at Kofukuji temple in Nara, Japan is another great story and worthy of a mythology episode, imho.
    201
  1004. I think they use different artists for the one-off type episodes
    200
  1005. The "Legion of Hell," from what information I've found on them, didn't start out as bandits or outlaws. They were men who lived on the Venezuelan plains that were used to life on horseback, a people that were more or less left to their own devices, owing no loyalty to the Spanish or the Republicans. They were recruited into the war against the Second Republic and became (initially) a 4,000 strong lance cavalry division. Much of the success of the Spanish Royalists against the Republicans during this war is attributed to the Legion as their charges more or less broke Republican forces everywhere they met them. They were so effective that in the future struggle for Venezuelan independence, the Republicans under Bolivar would end up recruiting them for their cause. So to write them off as bandits or outlaws is kind of a disservice to their effectiveness as a fighting force. That's not to say that their methods weren't brutal though. Everywhere they went, civilian rapes, massacres, and all kinds of atrocities followed. I think there were more like the ancient Huns, since they relied on spears and charges, rather than the Mongols since Mongol tactics revolved more around the use of their superior horse archers and feigned retreats.
    199
  1006. Can we talk about well the writers and narrator do their jobs? Last episode's and today's openings honestly gave me chills
    199
  1007. is it me or they are some Space Jam references during this video?
    199
  1008. I’d love a deeper analysis! Anything to help me become a better author and story teller. You guys do a great job of presenting information in an easily understandable way.

  1011. I'm fairly active in the disability rights community today, and most people I work with are opposed to terms like "different bodies" or "differently abled" because of a) the obscuring of atrocities against disabled people as a socially-defined class, as the original commenter noted, but also because of b) the tendency to use euphemisms for our lives and experiences, and the implication with them that disability itself is something that requires obfuscation or shame.
    197
  1012. If you don't allow the train to stop and eat breakfast it will eventually become enraged and start attacking the townspeople out of Hanger. Always feed your locomotive.
    196
  1013. Another interesting story is that Jamuka tried to summon a blizzard against Genghis Khan's forces during the final battle, but the spirits were angered by him and blew the wind right back at him.
    196
  1014. Weasel Stank would be a great name for a rock band.
    196
  1015. Fascinating bit of history here. So glad that, in spite of the clear desire for the accolades and fame, they did their best to make sure it would be as accessible as possible to the patients who desperately needed it. A pity the medical industry at large doesn't follow suit.
    195
  1016. 8:46 Great to see that Clara knew when to put her foot down even with all her saintly patience. You guys are the best! Every week i look forward to your amazing content and this has certainly show that those who don't learn their history are doomed to repeat it. Keep up the amazing work! :trophy-yellow-smiling::trophy-yellow-smiling::trophy-yellow-smiling::trophy-yellow-smiling::trophy-yellow-smiling:

  1017. HYPE!

  1018. Just the opening scene to this video gave me chills. Well done Extra Credits👌
    194
  1019. What did we learn? Hats are grapes and that peaches are the best weapons and should always have some with you. EDIT: Thanks for the <3 EDIT 2: 75 likes?! Thanks so much! I never even had 10!

  1020. The parallels to Animal House are impressive. Sylvanus Thayer is your Dean Wormer, Hitchcock is Niedermayer, and playing the role of Bluto Blutarsky is Jeff Davis.
    193
  1021. I love it when historical discussions like this cover how dynasties engage in mythmaking to legitimize their right to rule.
    193
  1022. Remember how the Gracchi brothers broke the Roman republic by not following the unwritten rules... So yes, this is important.
    193
  1023. It’s peak geek, and absolutely peek geek engineer.
    192
  1024. I learned about the Irish war for independence through the film "The wind that shakes the Barley" and it's one of the very few movies that reduces me to a wet snotty bawling mess. I love the added context by EH.
    192
  1025. This is one I HAVE read. I bet that Zoey particularly enjoyed "A Dream of a Thousand Cats".
    191
  1026. Aliester Crowley had always been my favorite mysterious figure. I am so glad you guys finally mentioned and told story of him at last.

  1030. But that wasn't love that the man who the monster idolized held for the woman in the story; it was lust. Love desires yes, but it also sets free what you yearn for and is willing to give not take. The woman already had a partner, already was in love, and this man from out of nowhere tries to inject himself into the partnership to take the woman from that individual who she desires. What he goes through is an act of selfishness and is the exact opposite of all that love stands for. A better example of what love is and what it demands is in Dracula where Quincey Morris, a foreigner who represented all that was good and noble in the American cowboy, who had lost the chance at engagement to Lucy, and who had nothing more compelling him to continue forth and end Dracula's hold on Mina and put and end to the monster, ends up willing giving his life to drive his Bowie knife into Dracula's heart putting and end to the fiend. His last words make this so clear the price and nature of love: "Now God be thanked that all has not been in vain! See! the snow is not more stainless than her forehead! The curse has passed away!"
    189
  1031. The preface from the video about the dream time was awesome! Past, present and future all together in the dream realm.. it makes you think, shall we see each other today, tomorrow or yesterday? Always love both the history episodes and mythology ones. Always teaching and always finding something that stroke a cord in your self. Ps: how about try a few myths from the south Americas?
    189
  1032. time travels to the past "Brother, have you heard of Non-Fungible Tulips? They're the next best thing bought with the superior windmill powered currency, Dutchcoin!".
    189
  1033. Question: How come so many myths take place in a bathroom with plumbing? Between this and Hanako-san (or kun) I wonder why these myths started in a place where the worse thing you would see is a toilet that someone forgot to flush. (Maybe that last part could of answered my own question...)
    189
  1034. What you've said here is basically what I tell people in STEM vs. STEAM debates.  Without art science, technology, engineering and math eventually become tech for tech's sake.  Including art in the curriculum introduces the human element, making tech for people.
    189
  1035. I'm really sad you didn't mention the"Food of the Gods", my favorite out of Wells' works. I enjoy it so much because it emphasises a really hard and almost unanswerable dilemma: What if the very existence of a group of people means the inevitable damnation of society as we know it and the decendents of the practically all the people in it? What should be done?
    188
  1036. I love these episodes Especially because they don’t seem to be talked about in depth as much
    187
  1037. I'm not sure if this is a mainstream opinion, but the narriative elements and daily life episode of this series helped make this my favourite extra history so far. Keep up the good work :)
    187
  1038. Any time the term Blood Oaths are mentioned, you know this is going to be good.
    187
  1039. I loved this series and can't wait for it to come back but i also cant wait for extra mythology this is so exciting
    184
  1040. Fame, Recognition, and Fortune. Some of many reasons why humanity may never know progress among its good and talented men and women… 😔

  1042. For Democracy!! :_ExtraEmojiHeart::_ExtraEmojiShiny:
    182
  1043. Fun fact about Carlsberg: Jacobsen the founder, was obsessed with making Bavarian beer, but the yeast was impossible to get in Denmark. So the story goes that he went to Bavaria and bought some yeast and hid it in his hat with ice. Every hour he would have to get off the train and change the ice. People will do a lot for beer. Or so the story goes
    182
  1044. Oh excellent, you did decide to elaborate on the bottle-throwing war!
    181
  1045. There's an argument to be made that the glut of "Isekai," or "other world," stories that have been coming out of Japan for the past five years or so are the descendants of cyberpunk. Lots of them even follow Sword Art Online and .//hack's premise of characters being transported from real life into a video game or a world based on a video game.
    181
  1046. The academic interplay between Extra History and my collegiate courses I’ve been taking these past 3 years has been so helpful and such a wonderful coincidence
    181
  1047. One sad thing is that, just like in the United States. Brazilian history classes never focuses on what exactly was going on the rest of the continent, Only the broad strokes, Garibaldi himself is never even mentioned on most states, the rebellion itself is told as a "oh yeah this happened, moving on" Extra History is amazing for going shallow enough that most people understand what happened while at the same time making those interested for it to go deeper. Thank you all for this great content
    180
  1048. I lost it when the drunken threat was delivered exactly like you'd expect a drunk person to sound like.
    180
  1049. Good episode, but what bugs me is that it skips over the lead up to before this. The context of who the Clantons are and the cowboys, to not talking about Wyatt earp’s previous law experience in Dodge City. There’s so much information that’s skipped over, so people new to hearing about it don’t get the full picture or why the clantons are so dangerous. And why the Earps are experienced law men.
    180
  1050. 0:15 everybody poops NO EXCEPTIONS

  1051.  @FistoftheSnackBar  And now you're hoping it isn't tomorrow. So as the boy who cried wolf, you'll never know if that "tomorrow" is the actual "tomorrow"
    179
  1052. Holy Jesus, this episode was intense! Cannons over sleds and shooting from windows, barricades in every narrow street, A captain escaping a point blank shot towards the face, snow hiding the ground, an officer being shot after ordering the enemy's surrender... Stalingrad is the immediate image inside the mind, seeing this.
    178
  1053. Hi! I've been a massive fan of your show for years now and you're a big part of why I decided to go back to university and become an academic. My upcoming PhD is actually in the social funtions of taverns so I'd be really interested to see your reading list for this fantastic episode, as you touch on lot of similiar themes. Keep up the great work all and best wishes for the future! :)
    178
  1054. You guys are the reason why I want to be a history teacher
    178
  1055. I ordered Frankenstein, read it and loved it. Now I'm about to order The Belonging Kind because it just speaks to me so directly. Thank you guys for opening my eyes to (semi)-classic literature!
    178
  1056. I kinda really wanna watch an Extra History Wrestling league now. You could you make an EH Rumble in a WWE game, in the same vein as the Jerma Rumble. Y'know, get all the EH favourites in on it, like Bismark and Walpole? Maybe we'll see Stalin vs. Washington or Kruschev vs. Hamilton? I dunno, silly idea, but I think it would be fun.
    177
  1057. Easily the worst part about this is watching all of the cute EH horses getting cut down by arrows. :(
    177
  1058. Been a huge fan of you guys since the beginning! Love to see how the EC team has branched out into so many different subject types, urban lore is so fascinating and underappreciated. Thanks for sharing!
    177
  1059. 8 kids in a row?! RIP whoever had to change those diapers 💀
    176
  1060. Perfectly sounds like "spooky action."
    174
  1061. I loved the “wizard battle” that ended with the ice king using his nunchucks. Wait that was adventure time.
    174
  1062. 7:47 I'm glad I cheated: that sloth was the cutest ^^ Also, loving all the NFT puns. Keep up with the good work, lads. Edit: at least the Dutch went crazy over some really pretty flowers. Those awful computer-generated monkeys are an affront to humanity.
    173
  1063. A traveling circus of insane tooth pullers is the greatest Assassin's Creed villain I didn't know I needed.
    173
  1064. Yeah how dare Frederick actually achieve success in a crusade without it costing tonnes of lives and money.
    172
  1065. You should compile a list of all the sci-if books we (as huge sci-if fans) should read in your opinion. Should we read every book you mention or are there a select few that we should focus on. I’m talking about all sci-fi books even, possible especially, the weird and obscure books most people will not have heard of.
    171
  1066. yeah i think it's safe to say we need more on-the-camera matt
    171
  1067. In case anyone was curious, at 2:15 that says "Am I not your brother?" And I think it's interesting that they used the specifically singular and familiar version of "your" too
    170
  1068. If anyone's interested in knowing more about how bot farms weaponize different social media platforms, Destin Sandlin of the SmarterEveryDay YouTube channel's done quite a number of videos on disinformation campaigns on YouTube, Reddit, etc. It's quite insidious. (Note that he did that project a few years ago now and the strategies have no doubt evolved since then.)
    170
  1069. This sounds like it’s going to be a very fun series
    169
  1070. Guys, can I caption this in Spanish? I want to share it with my friends! But some of them don't speak English.
    169
  1071. These anti-Universities riots mentioned at 5:50 were really bonkers. A HistoryTuber M. Laser made good videos about the Medieval History of the Oxford and Cambridge Universities, describing them in more detail. I know that I've recommended this particular channel a couple of times here already but you really seem to have an affinity for similar topics (including the history of hopped beer, which I mentioned previously).
    169
  1072. Nothing signifies "Engineer" better than thinking about everything except something as practical as that ;)
    168
  1073. As a technician who works on things Engineers designed with the assumption no one would ever have to actually fix their product, I can confirm that something like building your car wider than the entrance to your barn is 100% in line with an Engineer's concept of spatial awareness.
    168
  1074. Jac has some great boots there. Next True Lies: all about fashion footwear. It's an under discussed topic.
    168
  1075. Saint Nicholas’ feast day is still celebrated on December 6th today by many people. I grew up Catholic and my family would give small gifts to each other and kids would leave out shoes for chocolate coins. Major gift giving was still left for Christmas, but the two holidays aren’t quite the same still.
    167
  1076. I read this book freshman year of high school, and it’s stuck with me to this day. It’s some powerful stuff.
    167
  1077. I came from alternate history hub :)! And like what i see.
    166
  1078. Anyone who grew up in Michigan probably has been to the Henry Ford museum. We all took field trips there as kids and had a blast in Greenfield village. But Ford is the specter that haunts it. Knowing that he had such terrible demons that led him to lash out at the world sours the experience to a degree.
    166
  1079. Italian here, I just wanted to compliment this channel for teaching more about Garibaldi than our own Italian school does. We learn what he did after a certain point, but a lot of his life is left out (like his time in South America). I never knew about his wife. I am so hapy to see how you'll tell the rest of the story, hopefully you'll also spend some time to teach about the best unknown national hero, Camillo Benso. That man was the true mastermind behind Italy's unification!

  1080. Paddington and Oedipus, such an iconic duo.

  1081. Frederick II was the only Italian Holy Roman Emperor

  1084. This channel is what got me into classic/older literature like HP Lovecraft And Ray Bradbury, thank you!

  1085. "Romeo and Juliet" is to romance what "Les Misérables" is to revolution.

  1086. I only have 2 things to say: 1: It's so sad that the Health Care in America is so expensive people would rather flee from ambulances than to get treatment 2: I am so grateful to live in Europe
    164
  1087. 3:43 female wild boar, to be precise (and originally written "jabalina"); weird enough (well, not so), it's the same word usen for "javelin", that spear that's used as a throw implement in track-and-field along with the hammer and the shot. Another reason not to feed wild pigs and boars is that doing so encourages them to come back with reinforcements, and they are very dangerous (not only are they lumps of pure muscle with the temper of a hurricane, if you have the bad luck to very intimately meet one that's trying to cross the road, chances are high your vehicle is now scrap, and pray that you haven't been hurt or worse).
    164
  1088. I'm interested in starting a discussion: what topics do you think are not taught enough or even explored? Coming from an American angle, I think the Japanse occupation and Pacific resistance to the occupation, Byzantine history, Australian colonization, Bengal famine, and early North American exploration are good examples.
    163
  1089. The horses look like plushies. It's great!

  1090. This is symbolic fight of water over land. How a river or glacier once part of ocean continously carve out part of mountains. You can see this every monsoon in the landslides caused by massive rains every summer. For mountain its a loosing battle. That princess should have been handed over to ocean.
    162
  1091. Congratulations on 3 million! That means I am 0.000033% of the subscribers on this channel. For some context, if EH was a country it would be the 138th most populated one! Bigger than Albania, Lithuania, Qatar, or Jamaica! Not combined

  1092. Hi. I am a Mexican living in Tenochtitlan (Mexico City). I am a bit confuse. Here in mexico we are teaching that the Aztecs were nomads walking around Mexico trying to found their promised land. They started their long walk in the mythical city of Aztlan. But I never heard about that princes being sacrificed. I read that in one of the most reliable sources of the Pre-Hispanic times: historia general de las cosas de la nueva españa from Bernardino de Sahagún. The book is super huge, like two bibles, but is very interesting, I recommend you that book guys.

  1094. This is one of the reasons why I've long since desired collegial power and proportional and consensus systems, mainly single transferable vote, score voting, and the proportional form of score voting, reweigted score voting. In Ireland for example, in a five seat multi member district, if there were 60 thousand votes cast, you only need to win 10,001 votes to win (once five candidates have reached this quota, it is impossible for any other candidate to win) They are bigger than single member districts of course, allowing you to find many more people of similar beliefs and desires as you even if they make up only maybe a fifth of the electorate, a key factor that makes independents win in the Dail Eirann. And only about a fifth of candidates were elected in the first count of the votes, most need to have transfer votes from eliminated candidates (those who got the fewest votes and weren't popular enough to win a seat) and from the excess ballots from candidates who have met the quota. This makes it a very bad idea to alienate people. It's hard to say only I can solve problems, because you are only capable of getting 1/3-1/5 of the seats in the district, you will work at a minimum with other people in the same district, and nearly invariably this involves opposition or independent members,o and even members of the same party that competed against you for votes due to the ranking system. You also have an incentive to work with other members of the same alliance to help promote each other so as to get at least one of you elected, if you can't, you'll still get a decent life and usually some influence in the party, like organizing crucial roles, and may be selected to run in the next election if you prove to be decently popular even if you came up short. Political parties that are similar enough to current ones but under fresh leadership, they can pretty easily pop into existance, and can attract many of the guinea votes who otherwise would have been firmly stuck one way or another, having to choose between two similar options for them rather than one that you knew for a long time would be basically the only party or movement or person you wanted to choose. It's a much smaller risk, and you can focus on a group of supporters rather than trying to please an absolute majority or even plurality with promises you can't keep to any one of them. I also have disliked the US's focus on a singular president for a long time, and same with the senate where you only really have one up at any given time. I have been more favourable to collegial power via parliamentary, Swiss, and cooperative structures (such as trade unions, cooperatives, and commune boards of directors). There is not a big risk in losing by a small percentage, and even a president who wins in a two round system with an absolute majority will still be a second choice to many, which is not ideal. Confidence and supply deals and coalitions, cabinets, the ability to sack a prime minister or cabinet minister even if the party in general is popular without being accused of a coup d'etat, that's a very useful property in my opinion. This also applies for non state entities, which I believe are better at providing for what we really need and want instead of governments and should be promoted as an alternative. When you have a singular leader, you risk a lot. They may be arrested, they might be killed, inoculously or not, They might be censored, and it can be hard to remove cults of personality around them. It's far better to spread the risk out.

  1095. So Temujin Khan committed genocide against the Tatars and then against his own people to solidify his position as their leader and then he successfully defeated his last rivals for the rulership of the Mongols. This was foreshadowing what was to come with his reign as the Khan of all the Mongols.

  1096. Thanks for Watching Everyone!
    159
  1097. Thanks for posting this! I’d heard a lot of positive and negative things about this book, but had never really understood its significance before. This was a really concise look that covered all the bases. God bless you!
    158
  1098. The intro scene could totally be on the start of an Extra Mythology episode about Chinese Ghosts. Spooky!

  1099. 3:54 Even as an American, I felt a little pang of sadness when the Canadians, who had been working so hard and so long, realized that the only way to move forward was to bring the Americans in on it
    157
  1100. Thank you for explaining the French-British alliance switch for the Seven Years’ War. So many history channels have just mentioned it as a funny thing that happened without elaborating
    157
  1101. Bit of a missed opportunity here: beer brands have some of the oldest trademarks, registered and otherwise, in the world. Pilsner is possibly the oldest registered trademark, dating from 1859. Bass Ale is the UK’s first registered trademarks from 1876.

    155
  1109. I love those myths that explain natural events

  1113. You know what is also an act of irony? That around century later (1772-1795) Austrian Habsburgs took part in the dismembering of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, some gratitude there. Also, the famous wings of the Polish Hussars were most likely one of many Ottoman influences on the PLC, being inspired by the Ottoman "Deli" cavalry units. BTW the notion that those wings were making noise scaring enemy's horses, or had any real function besides looking cool is being contested by modern experts (like Radosław Sikora). Another fun fact; PLC while viewing itself with pride as the "Bulwark of Christianity" (specifically the Catholicism) was also pretty tolerant for that time, not only in regard to other Christian denominations and the large Jewish community but even the relatively small but well established Muslim one - the so-called Lipka Tatars. Who btw traditionally served in the light cavalry, so yes, there were actually some Muslims fighting on the "Christian side" in this battle.

  1115. Suda was the designer that taught me games could be weird. Not in the Mario "I'm stomping on turtles" type of weird, but the Killer 7 "Punk-rock-ultra-violence as social commentary" type of weird. This interview was hard to edit due to all the translating so it's a bit out of date at this point, but it was a blast to get to talk to him and playing Let It Die brought to mind just how passionate he is about everything. So in service of the weird, here it is. -JP (And check out Silver Case if you want to see Suda's early work or go play Let It Die if you want to see exactly what I mean by punk rock ultra violence..!)

  1118. In Canada, every provincial government and the federal government have an elections agency that is non-partisan. It's part of the bureaucracy and its job is to draw electoral boundaries every decade and run the election. We have one week of advanced voting, vote-by-mail, and you can register to vote online with a photo of your ID (which pretty much everyone has because of our healthcare cards are a form of ID). Also felons can vote, even if they are in jail. Because the right to vote is universal based on citizenship, age, and nothing else.
    152
  1119. How appropriate and festive. After all, Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without Mrs. Baddeley's plum pudding!

  1120. I'm surprised Netflix hasn't made a film about this yet💀

  1121. When I hear "This is going to be fun" about any period of chinese history, I already can smell the blood coming...
    151
  1122. I wonder how conventionally western genres could change if presented to and interpreted by non western artists? Much in the same way the detective changed when transitioning from Britain to America.
    151
  1123. Okay, just to get this clear because I'm not sure I fully do... The Mongols were composed of different tribes, but they were all considered Mongols, the Tatars were another steppe people but weren't considered Mongol. Did they have their own tribe? Did they just get absorbed into the general Mongol population after this event?
    151
  1124. Your mistake costed me 10 minutes of searching through african rebellions

  1125. Sidenote on the Dutch East India Company (VOC) & Indonesia, compared to the Mughals & India, that I was surprised you guys didn't mention out: The situation in Indonesia of 17th century was far more easy to be dealt with compared to India at that time, since the Mughals were at their height of the power. Meanwhile in Indonesia there were numerous smaller Islamic kingdoms that were just starting to rise after the chaotic 16th century. The 1500s saw the demise of both Majapahit Empire (that EC did a series couple of years ago!) and Malacca Sultanate (which was upended by the Portuguese). If Majapahit or Malacca wasn't destroyed, the Dutch might have also encountered a similar situation to what the Europeans faced in India: Forced to sign one-sided trade deals with a local hegemonic power, instead of leveraging their trade power and pitting small local kingdoms against each other.

  1126. This is single-handedly the best video ever posted on this channel and that’s saying a lot

  1127. I love the Extra Content, can you maybe keep it on screen a little longer? I find myself constantly pausing and going back. Thanks.
    149
  1128. I think it'd be nice if, in future Mythology Matters segments, you peeps went deeper on what some of the seemingly bonkers details of some myths may represent to their original cultures, even if only on a symbolic sense. Didn't someone comment, for example, on how the things that Izanagi threw at the Shikome actually have some symbolic meaning at Shinto?

  1132. Based on the tone I'm not sure if I'm repeating common knowledge, but Sleeping Sickness isn't a faulty old diagnosis, it's actually a communicable disease formally known as African trypanosomiasis spread by mosquitoes in Africa. That doesn't necessarily change that he was likely assassinated, but it was at least a legitimate disease to die of. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_trypanosomiasis

  1134. Irony is so delicious at times.
    147
  1135. I find Ibn's frustration with how Malian Islam isn't 100% on the letter to be pretty amusing. It's actually pretty interesting. Almost everywhere else in the world, Islam was spread by the sword, and so was enforced from the top down by the Pious Conquerors. Since Mali essentially got to adopt Islam on its own terms, they created this unique combination that preserved important aspect of their own culture, and that's honestly really cool.

  1139. No joke, "Gasoline Wagon" sounds a cool name for the first cars. Dieselpunk fans, arise!
    145
  1140. Ursula's Mother's books about Ishi are beautifully written and heartbreaking. For those looking for Ishi and background on Le Guin's family, the Ishi books are published as by Theodora Kroeber. There is also a non-fiction book about the relationship her Father had with Ishi.

    141
  1153. I had no idea "Berber" could be offensive. The etymological connection to "barbarian" never occurred to me. Now I feel kind of silly for not noticing that sooner. Hindsight is 20/20, as the saying goes. I'll have to make sure to use the word "Amazigh" from now on.
    140
  1154. After reading the title and watching this video, I'm even more confident in my belief about Santa being more than a person in red; he's a symbol (just like a superhero.) But while most superheroes are about symbolizing truth, justice and all other American virtues; SANTA embodies virtues that are (or should) be a part of all the world's cultures. These virtues include things like kindness, selflessness, generosity and love for all people

  1156. Hey I love that you guys are making more content but I really do hope you don't overextend yourselves, and that maybe you guys can take little hiatuses to rest after long video making hours? <3 other than that bless you guys
    138
  1157. Guys, you have no idea how much it genuinely means to not just myself, but just about every single Native American, that you guys are not just telling our stories and history, but how important this is that our history is finally being described from a NON-BIAS STANCE. From the bottom of my heart, and everyone else amung us here that watches these videos, Thank you Extra History Crew
    138
  1158. I loved that intro, this is a amazing video idea! 😺

  1161. I love this retelling of his story, I have a great admiration for this man and the work that he did. It's very easy to judge his violence from the future with no exacting knowledge of his struggles throughout his life and name him murderer. Brave, committed and righteous. Like deployed 👍
    137
  1162. Oooh, don't think I dont notice "Air and Light" playing in the background of the episode from the Gracchi brothers episodes! Beautiful melody, delighted to hear it once more!
    137
  1163. It’s always fully appreciated how high quality, passionate and well researched your videos are! Your content is always an instant watch! Thanks guys! I deeply enjoyed it and will be first here on youtube to see ford!

    135
  1167. The 'Peaceful' Ocean? Coming from someone who has lived in Hawaii for a long time, that is not accurate, especially when we have a tsunami Siren and on regular 3-5 Hurricane warnings between May and October. None really hit us, but we are still on guard. We have learned more about space then we have our oceans, like from videos I have seen, we barely know about 10% of our oceans. There are also signs that early on in history, Hawaii other islands had trade with South America. Pacific sailors have been proclaimed as some of the greates explorers for great reason. They are like reverse Vikings, they actually knew what they were doing and where they were going, no offense to vikings.
    135
  1168. I'm a huge sci-fi novel and literature fan. You guys are doing an awesome job! I can't wait to watch these. However, I never got the impression from reading Paradise Lost that God was flawed adn could have acted different to effect a more favorable outcome for Satan. That seems like a modern projection. I do like how you bring out the prevalent view among the Romantics of Satan as protagonist. These are great intertexts, and I'm loving how you're conveying the connections.
    134
  1169. Loved this series, it aligned very well with me reading uncle toms cabin, truly a memorizing period of history. I believe you've done a great man justice in documenting his life.
    134
  1170. I love the stories, but I want to give some love to the God of War team for putting money into education instead of more banner ads. And thank you, EC/H/M, for providing quality content and being a way something like this can happen.
    134
  1171. This is an impressive book and Jane Austen is a incredible writer!

    133
  1175. I did not expect that reference, and as avid roleplayers, it caused my entire family to break out laughing!
    133
  1176. You're providing more information on the life and accomplishments of Garibaldi in these videos than what my history high school curriculum in Italy did back in the days.
    132
  1177. In my home city of Basel (switzerland), the Basilisk is an important cultural symbol. Statues and fountains are found everywhere. It is said to live in the sewers and attack anyone that goes after it
    132
  1178. Crimean war is so underrated for it's importance. Thanks for doing this series!

    129
  1182. It's not worth preserving if it's the result of a civilization that ultimately destroyed itself, I think is part of the message. That's why they weren't merely books about earth or histories, they were the paraphernalia of the machine.
    129
  1183. I literally got a tattoo of Yggdrasil yesterday.
    128
  1184. FINALLY! As a dutch person, you don't know how much i WAITED for an extra history video covering dutch history. I'm so happy!
    128
  1185. I heard Will's voice and I cried happy tears. My finals are slowly getting finished and I'm so happy that I can watch EC on twitch!

  1186. First thought, "So THIS is where some of the Witcher 3 lore comes from!" 😂 Great episode!!
    128
  1187. Getting a terrifying "Oh god this is where Crypto is heading fast" vibe from this...
    127
  1188. While I'm sure London and Haiti will be interesting, I'm very excited for Ibn Battuta; I've been hoping for him to get a series ever since we learned about him in the Mali series.
    126
  1189. I mean, it's funding a lot of good people and making a lot of cool videos. You don't need to be that cynical about it.
    126
  1190. Very intense episode! Loved it! The voices were also great! Happy holidays guys! 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄

  1191. The song is so good that I just purchased a tulip.
    125
  1192. I never knew about this person ^^" And as A person who loves sci-fi and writing my own work on the genra, I kind of feel ashamed about that :,D I`m so happy you guys do these videos it has helped me a lot in recent works and It really is awesome just knowing the history of it. Thank you always on making these. ^-^
    125
  1193. Oof... I remember hearing about gerrymandering, but for it to be so clear cut an example as to use for teaching aspects about game design? Definitely a sign of something broken.

  1195. I hope yinz cover the Hermetic Orders of the 20th century, such as The Golden Dawn
    124
  1196. I absolutely hated this book, but this channel always makes the books it talks about sound so interesting. So let's see if they can change my mind.
    124
  1197. So happy to have extra mythology back. It’s my second favourite extra credits show, right after extra history
    124
  1198. I recently listened to the audio book of Neil Gaiman's Norse Mythology and, oh man, you have to hear his version of the origin of poetry. XD
    124
  1199. I don't know who's the game designer behind politics, but his game design is so incredibly flawed it isn't even funny.
    124
  1200. And the message came, “ ALAS, BABYLON”! and The Postman rose into the thousand year night, and the vultures feasted that season.
    123
  1201. This is roughly correct. One of the not-so-obvious results of the 5th postulate is equivalent to saying "the universe is flat". So when you try to do geometry in a universe that isn't flat (like, say, the surface of a sphere), you end up having to replace the 5th postulate with something else that expresses the non-flatness of your new universe. MrCervelo's example of longitude lines is a good one; spherical geometry is equivalent to saying "if a straight line crosses two other straight lines, the other two straight lines always eventually intersect each other on both sides of the first line." Which is clearly not what Euclid's original says.
    123
  1202. Gotta say, this is the best looking Extra History episodes to date Nice job, EC
    122
  1203. Yahooooo!!!! Thank you so much! I've been waiting until you guys did a series on him! You guys are amazing!
    122
  1204. Loved the Temple of Doom segue, always nice to tie in some humor.

  1205. At the age of 17 had a similar experience. Got beaten up and robbed on the way home. When I got to my corner, my guys were there hanging out. I told them what happened, couldn't hide it. I looked jacked. Well no one said anything or made any plans. All eight of us started walking towards where it happened. Most had knives. No guns in 70s. We walked about 12 blocks Iooking for them. By the 12th block my mind kicked in. What if we go to jail for this? A show called scared straight had aired. Not right or wrong, but fear of prison life stopped me. I told the guys, let's go home. Two guys robbed me. Years later I saw a picture of one of them in the NY daily news. He had become a famous boxer. It looked just like one of the guys. Not 100 percent sure though. Maybe 75 that it was him. Mike was lucky we didn't find him. And so was I.
    121
  1206. You guys should make resources for schools. I would've been a lot more engaged in history class if we were using books by Extra Credits :)
    121
  1207. Words cannot even explain how much I adore this channel mannnn!! The art style is incredible, and I learn so much more history here than anywhere else!!

  1208. I live in Genoa in Liguria (Italy) and I first saw how wild boars took to the city after the pandemic, and I had a couple of close encounters with wild boars.
    120
  1209. Been watching your videos for years now. You guys have improved so much in your animation, and I just wanna say that it looks great! Not to mention, even the facial expressions are looking fresh
    120
  1210. I can't wait for the incorporation of giant gold digging ants into the ancient aliens narrative 😂😂😂😂

  1211. I love how you can pretty much hear the massive grin plastered across Matt's face as he tells this particular tale.

  1212. Anyone else know these names from Persona series?

  1214. This was so, SO much fun! Thanks again for having me, it was a blast!

  1215. It's very interesting how Buddhism shaped from place to place, in Laos for example, where I used to live for 8 years, they took on many animist traditions that were already common in Laos, which allowed for a pretty quick adoption, heck they even made their own tales of past lives of the Buddha which are riddled with local religious beliefs.
    118
  1216. 0:25 Humor = tragedy + time, after all
    118
  1217. This whole series has made me want to see a series on the Indian independence movement. Will you please consider one? Love your channel!
    117
  1218. Always nice to see Irish history
    117
  1219. I’m glad you’re adding comedic elements to make your videos fun and entertaining to watch. I’m looking forward to the rest of the series and how Napoleon’s invasion spurred Egypt-mania.

  1220. Zal is apparently one of those guys who hoards his consumables all the way through the final boss fight, just in case he needs them later.

  1222. Read the book back in 2015 in my school library…and then 2017 film all i can say things like this makes me glad that I am Agatha Christie Fan….Words cannot describe how thrilling this book is want to watch Hercule Poirot series though but all I can say is Thank you Extra Credits for covering my favourite book from her(Agatha Christie)Thank you ❤️
    116
  1223. I knew everything said in this video about the cold war before but I still didn't regret watching it a second. Your ability to write compelling short stories is as good as recapping the important parts of history in a really tight format. Taking artistic freedom to create tension is really great at this level of history. I've seen one of the most boring documentation about exactly this most nerve wrecking part of history. I bet that is the main reason why so few know about these sometimes so vitally important events.
    116
  1224. I love this book... Was hoping someone could do a summary... This is perfect thank you.
    116
  1225. So Dune was originally a magazine story wow didn't know that.
    115
  1226. Hey folks! I'm currently at the hospital with my Nana. I'm happy to report that she's getting better. Please pray for me and my family. I'd greatly appreciate it! ❤ Also, another amazing video as always Extra History! ~Brianna
    115
  1227. Ooooh, I'm very excited about the Ethiopian series! I love Ethiopian history, it is so interesting and so understudied.
    115
  1228. I never knew how much I wanted this series until now. It seems to be perfectly tailored to my interests. Thanks so much for talking about this!
    114
  1229. I've known too many snobs be it in movies or games who have been gatekeeping passions away from folks because "they know best". Definitely something they need a look in a mirror for, and this book could help that!
    114
  1230. Lalibella is so freaking cool. Shame that Petra gets all the attention that Lalibella deserves
    114
  1231. The Belonging Kind reminds me of an rpg called Unknown Armies. In it there are mages called adepts who are able to bend reality based on their own twisted sense of it, examples include alcoholic wizards who see the sober world as the wrong and fake one, or plutomancers who hoard money and spend as little as possible. The arch of the hero in this story is a bit like that of someone becoming an adept but except when he snaps he completely loses his humanity to become something different, rather then slipping through the cracks of consensual reality while still being fundamentally a person. Which makes sense because adepts were designed as an option for you to play as and weave stories around while the hero in The Belonging Kind has completed his story by the time he becomes one of them.
    113
  1232. You know it'll be a good week when a new Extra History compilation drops.
    113
  1233. This is eerily well-timed with the impending strike of all the railroads lol Extra Credits more like Extra...PREMONITION! ...nailed it
    113
  1234. I remember reading Heinlein in high school and falling in love with his way of writing. Stranger in a Strange Land helped me think beyond my religious upbringing. Job, too, was a strange journey. Tunnel in the sky was a fantastic subversion to Lord of the Flies. Perhaps my favorite story of his, however, was the 1958 short "All You Zombies." It was exactly what I had been searching for in a time travel story. Better yet, in 2014, it was made into a movie starring Ethan Hawke called Predestination. And honestly? It's one of the best text to screen adaptations out there. I highly reccomend both the story and the film for people interested in fun time travel stories.
    113
  1235. 6:26 small correction: the dome of the rock is depicted in this image as blue with a gold dome, but the blue tiles were only added in the 16th century and the dome itself wasn't plated in gold until around 1960.
    113
  1236. Lmao my Frederick the Great's sword joke got mentioned 😂 another job well done EH team! As always can't wait to see more! Other things I'd love to see covered: -Hirschfield Clinic/Weimar Germany (gonna keep saying it till it's done :p) -The Great Game between Britain and Russia in the 19th century -Charles Guitteau being a friggin lunatic/Garfield's assassination/anarchists in the US (take your pick :p)

  1237. The Man. The Myth. The Legend.

  1238. Once again, you guys never fail to deliver with another amazing installment in this series! ❤️
    112
  1239. I think this is one of my favourite Extra History series, despite being so short. More Western stories!
    112
  1240. This is why i want more Extra History series about Quebec, its history is full of crazy stories and twists and turns.
    111
  1241. Poor Alexander Hamilton, his dream just got broken

  1242. Part of her family background was a routine reading of the Tao Te Ching. Her resulting translation is really an interpretation but it is quite enlightening.
    111
  1243. Honestly, I love how unsurprising an Adam & Eve sponsorship is becoming to me. Positivity!
    111
  1244. You guys are literally the reason why I passed all of my history classes in college! I could never get bored of these videos! Keep up the amazing work! ~Brianna

  1250. His upbringing raises an interesting question: if his interests and pasions were nurtered more, would he have become even greater or was it going through and overcoming the harsh treatment that shaped him to become great?
    109
  1251. It must've been tough being a Japanese diplomat at this time of such military and diplomatic unpredictability. Thank you for another informative episode! Merry Christmas out there everybody! ✝️🎄
    108
  1252. Was era mentioned? I watched two times but couldn't find time mentioned. I was guessing time through whole episode, but was uncertain, as I didn't know time frames for either empire or any name mentioned. Time wasn't tied to any other episode either, or any other more well known empire. You could have easily referenced Anastasios I or Rome. Or the fact that Kavadh was born in same year that western Rome crumbled and there was only one Rome left.
    108
  1253. OK, OK, been a fan of the channel for ages, so I got the community level - I owe ya that. Keep perks, this is a shoulda done it thing. Worth it to ease my conscience. No more freeloading for me.
    108
  1254. Kind of ironic how the man is known for forewarning against a coming chaos while a ship with a similar name practically sowed it.
    108
  1255. Shooting an officer that was there to parley is what they'd call in military lingo "a dick move".
    107
  1256. With the Sengoku Jidai, End of the Samurai, Rise of Japanese Imperialism, and now WW2 in the Pacific, I'm loving the coverage you guys are giving to modern Japanese history! (Hopefully you'll keep it rolling with post-war Japan through to the present day. I've never understood how the "economic miracle" happened, turning Japanese from a devastated country to a modern innovative global superpower in so little time.)
    107
  1257. Maybe do a whole series on Freemasons? :3
    107
  1258. I finally tracked down a print copy of Campbell's "Who Goes There?" and read it. After having the poo scared out of me by Carpenter's vision of "The Thing," I had to read the original story. It did not disappoint! I also read Amazing, Astounding, and Fantastic (I think) when I was a kid and loved those magazines. I cannot tell you how many SciFi books I read, but after exhausting the LA Public Library's juvenile section (much Heinlein there), the librarian directed me to the adult shelves. I read them all. Thanks for that memory!
    106
  1259. Now, I don't always comment, but when I do, I must speak to the great writing, voiceover work, and artistic talent of the Extra Credits team. (I watched your entire Extra history playlist in a few days. Was having withdrawl) Glad to see another episode. Heres to many more episodes!Cheers! R.
    106
  1260. My guinea pig is an abyssinian, so I'm playing this for him. He seems to like it, just laying down and eating his hay.
    105
  1261. I love this! I was literally thinking yesterday how interesting the little ice age is, and how I wish someone could make a video about it! Thanks Extra History!
    105
  1262. Netflix only wishes their Cleopatra series was this good.
    105
  1263. I mean... I hate to be that guy, but its kinda their MO Whoever the focus piece is currently on is treated like the main character in a book. Its written specifically to get you to identify with them. You see the same effect in various (usually fictional) media. Its both the best and worst part of this series. On the one hand it makes history accessible because its not just a list of events. Its told like a story with people you can identify with and characters you can root for. It also gives more tangible (positive) consequences to the actions of the characters. We know looting is bad, we know it was a consequence of being on the loosing side of a war. But that doesn't breed sympathy and interest in who you are spotlighting in the average person. And the downside is much the same, the travesties are downplayed a bit to make the individual seem more heroic and breed more interest in them. But in doing so you aren't quite getting the whole story. Its a trade off, and honestly there are enough (frankly better) sources out there if you want the hard facts rather than the pseudo serialization EH has going on. My nephew for example HATES history. Thinks hearing names and dates and the reasons those names and dates are important are a boring slog. But he loves this series. My only wish is that they did the "lies" episode in this same format instead of as a long rambling kinda thing. Because the layman that gets the distorted heroic version of this probably wont watch the lies episode due to its lack of formatting.
    104
  1264. Perfect for a slow day at work

  1265. I started reading Heinlein during my time in the army. I started with starship troopers and stopped reading after time enough for love. Starship troopers really struck me with how accurate many parts of it was about military life in terms of specific things that occur during basic training and the general military culture. It also struck me with how inaccurate it was in depicting service members. The idea of every person in the military having near perfect discipline and teamwork is honestly just laughable. We're just people too, after all. I can speak for most service members when I say we do believe that sacrificing for the greater good is important, but don't forget that we aren't automatons and we don't exist in a vacuum where the only thing we have to worry about is serving to the best of our ability. That said, the idea of being a super perfect soldier fighting aliens in my suit of super power armor was fun, even if it depicted war and enemies in an unrealistic light. Time enough for love made me move on from his writing completely, though. The incest elements were just distasteful, especially towards the end of the book.
    104
  1266. HISTORY TIME
    103
  1267. As a current cadet, I believe the same thing would happen if they try to make WP a dry campus Also have been loving your channel for years!
    103
  1268. I like how Best is the only one not arguing, I can image him as the voice of reason trying to keep the team together.
    103
  1269. MrDUneven As more and more people start to adopt hobbies and interests that fall within “Geek Culture”, there are people who are upset about it because this thing that was distinctly niche, an exclusive club that maybe not everyone WANTED to belong to but was their thing anyway, is no longer strictly theirs. Like an interest in these things expanding beyond them takes it away from them and makes them less special for it. As a result, gatekeepers are everywhere. People who say you can’t call yourself a gamer unless you play certain specific games or types of games, or you can’t call yourself a gamer if you enjoy certain types of games. Or “That person isn’t REALLY a geek, they’re just PRETENDING to be a geek in order to pander to an audience” as if that ever made any sense at all. Or how many times have you heard geeks get mad because someone near them mentioned that they hadn’t seen some piece of culture? Like they wanted to pull someone’s geek card because they never made time to check out Doctor Who or Firefly or even something like they tried reading Tolkien and couldn’t get into it, or never heard of The Fifth Element, Or they got exposed to a series like Alien or Highlander late and let the low quality of late offerings talk them out of checking out earlier installments? Geeks and Nerds can be vicious backstabbing bastards. The fact we learned it from the best vicious backstabbing bastards outside the culture doesn’t make it better.
    102
  1270. So I recently finished a book on general duma and he deserves his own series also his son is the novelist Alexandre dumas who wrote the three musketeers and count of monte Cristo
    102
  1271. THEY DID IT!!! Crimean war episode foreshadowed years ago! Man I love these guys so much.
    102
  1272. "How do you deal with failure" This is how. You stand up for it, you correct it, you move on. And it takes guts to do it, admitting that you messed up is never fun. In enjoy your history series particularly and tip my hat to you! :)
    102
  1273. I like how militaristic this is, it gives a sense of distance and the image of a massive army playing this. Reflects the tense build up of hostilities and stakes nicely
    102
  1274. It’s where people are the most vulnerable naked in the shower or sitting on the throne, with generaly no large windows and only one way out. Scary
    102
  1275. One of your best series
    101
  1276. Ferris Bueller’s day off Christmas special

  1285. Colonist: “Why did you think Katherine Grady was a witch?” Captain: ‘Her dress had pockets.’
    96
  1286. Just watching this I’ve realized something. Writers deserve an amazing congratulations. Not only impecable presentation, but beautiful literary images like the blood streams at the start. Keep it up!
    96
  1287. Keep up the good work guys
    95
  1288. I'm sure one of these days you'll come across a book I actually haven't read. There's so many that odds are good one of them is on your list.
    95
  1289. I’m from Ireland and this is a great series

  1290. If I recall correctly all you have to do to kill a basilisk is to get lvl 50 slayer and a mirror shield. By then you should have rune equipment anyway so they’re not particularly tough.

  1291. Don't you mean Spooktober?
    95
  1292. Over an hour of EH?! YES PLEASE ❤❤❤❤❤
    94
  1293. Oh come now, we all know how the pieces of Osiris were eventually found; Arkantos Ajax and Amanra gathered them up.
    94
  1294. I bet you and Walpole are behind the whole anti-vaccination movement.
    94
  1295. I can't believe King Arthur did the first ever Dark Souls Broken Sword run.
    93
  1296. Wuthering Heights is such a clusterfuck, I appreciate you guys breaking it down like this ❤
    92
  1297. That Walpole connection was probably one of the best yet!
    92
  1298. For other works to bring back, I've heard that there are tons of Jules Verne works that were either never translated into English, or very poorly translated.
    92
  1299. “Why let being enemies with the most powerful monarch in Europe get in the way of a good crusade?”
    92
  1300. Sara Samaletdin That's true. Although the fire that happened earlier which Frances Perkins was looking at should've signalled that something is wrong with the health and safety regulations at the time. In Swahili( I'm from Kenya) we have a saying that goes, "Usipoziba ufa utajenga ukuta" which basically says that if you don't fix a seemingly small problem then eventually you'll have to fix a much larger one.
    92
  1301. If youve ever watched Little Drummer Boy or read Leg3nd of the Poinsettias you know that gifts given out of desperation are often the best. Also with Dicken's tale.
    92
  1302. The "green for forests and yellow for gold" was kind of created by the republicans and is what I learned in the school, only after that I learned that this colors came from the royal family. The "Proclamation of the Republic" in Brasil I believe was one of the saddest part in our history. It was supported by slavers mad with the "golden law" that ended slavery and after the proclamation we had A LOT of bad presidents that fucked with the country. I'm don't want to return to monarchy, I believe it would have ended anyways. But they should never have removed Pedro II, maybe if his successor wasn't great, than remove him... or maybe all his successor continued to do a good job, so keep it. You should only remove a king when he isn't doing a good job, because as Hoppe wrote, democracy is usually WORST them monarchy because the president have the incentive to steal as much as he can during his 4 years because he won't face the long-term consequences.
    91
  1303. In Canada, we only really hear about Banting, and to a lesser degree, Best. Banting's press tour definitely has stayed in the public mind all these years! (Also ps - the Canadian flag at 6:14 wasn't in use until 1965 - but we get that people may not recognize the Red Ensign!)
    91
  1304. 2 Extra Credits in one day? What is this, Christmas?
    91
  1305. I think this episode might win the award with the most intersections with other EH series. Any I'm missing? - Viking Expansion/Greenland - Thirty Years' War/Famine - History of Paper Money/Nicholas Unless-Jesus-Christ-Had-Died-For-Thee-Thou-Hadst-Been-Damned Barbone - Ankor Wat/Decline If you ever wanted another Lies segment like Walpole or Ibn Battuta Sidequest...
    91
  1306. Fun story about the other possible origins of Russian Imperial Stouts: Back in the day, whenever a diplomat visited the Russian court, they were supposed to bring alcoholic beverages with them from their own nation. The Russians would then take that drink, and increase it's alcohol percentage and then serve it to the diplomat and court, with the higher alcohol percentage to establish dominance, and possibly cause Russians have a habid of making their drinks extra strong in general.

  1307. that intro was so good lol 😂

  1310. 4:15 Edward II was among the worst of the Plantagenets. Thank God his son Edward III, the greatest of them all saved England. Btw LOVED your 100 years war series. This one is cool too!❤❤❤❤❤

  1311. The last time i was this early, frederick hadnt been excommunicated yet.
    90
  1312. Words cannot describe how thrilling the plot is. Although I found the first 20-30 pages boring but it did a good job building the foundation for a good story without giving too much away and then the pace increases exponentially. This was one of my favourite books that I have ever read! Thanks for covering this.
    89
  1313. As a deep lover of Roman history, I wholeheartedly endorse the Rome-bashing in this episode.
    89
  1314. Was James recovering from the Magplague when this video was recorded
    88
  1315. Oh, boy! Time to systematically shread my faith in humanity again! EDIT: Yep, called it. 200 years later and basically nothing changed. All I can do is remember this line from Don't Be a Sucker: "We human beings are not born with prejudices. Always they are made for us. Made by someone who wants something. Remember that when you hear this kind of talk; somebody's going to get something out of it, and it isn't going to be you."
    88
  1316. Keep in mind he was to sum up calculus in a very short amount of time.

    87
  1321. Ends of series are always sad, but I know that you'll bring us even more amazing stuff and I just. Can't. Wait!
    87
  1322. I've been following your content for years and I'm so glad you're telling the story of my homeland. I do have a question though, can you cite the sources that state that Yekuno Amlak slew the last Zagwe king to get the throne? I'm asking because the Ethiopian history I've learned states that the Zagwe rulers peacefully gave Yekuno Amlak the right to rule.
    87
  1323. Spooky spooky quantum bits!
    86
  1324. I can’t wait for the little ice age video! I always found that time period in history very interesting and I’m actually studying the little ice age in world history right now! Congrats on a billion views! ❤
    86
  1325. I always look forward to Extra History!! :_ExtraEmojiHeart::_ExtraEmojiShiny::_ExtraEmojiBless:
    86
  1326. This is already gonna be one of their classic series
    86
  1327. One forgotten VR book was "The Electric Book" by Malcolm Hall, 1975 (out of stock at amazon). The story told of a boy who took a wrong turn in a research lab and wound up being used to test the new "electric book". I doubt it bothered with how reality was emulated, but our hero had to deal with whatever the "writer" threw at him. It was memorable enough to stick around so that when the cyberpunk movement hit, I remembered I read a precursor long before Gibson. I wonder if any cyberpunk authors actually read it.
    86
  1328. I enjoy these updates, its a good way to summarize up the month and a really nice way to give credit!
    86
  1329. As a kid from West Point and having grown up living on Worth road, thank you for talking about this! I learned about this all through middle school we thought it was hilarious!
    85
  1330. 6:07 looks at the top right of the screen Was it Walpole? Me: wheeze
    84
  1331. I don’t think Eleanor has ever slept during her child bearing up to her golden years.
    84
  1332. Great book! It seems like most people are like the Belonging Kind, trying hard to fit in while hiding their true feelings. By living like this, we do lose ourselves in a way. We say things or take actions that our true selves would not, becoming a different person.
    84
  1333. What's the saddest thing about the drama and tribulation in this video, it's basically a huge metaphor for Diabetes. No matter if you find a cure and can manage it, you still have to deal with the problems around it and how it's not curable (at the moment) more so for type 1 victims myself included.
    84
  1334. I didn't know anything about Maya before this. Dude, she's awesome!
    84
  1335. Oh man I remember seeing this interpreted in the Gangs of New York movie. It was absolutely horrifying.

  1336. The Nord VPN sponsorship being the only way to research the topics without ending up on a watchlist is a genius stroke of marketing if ever I’ve seen one.
    84
  1337. Great job with this soundtrack! I know that this question is a little out of left field, but, is there already a Genghis Khan Pokemon? If not, it should possibly start out as a wood/steel type (young hunter with bow and arrow) and turn into a ferocious fire/steel type (armored leader conquering his neighbors).
    83
  1338. Nice usage of Ascension in C at the end. It's interesting that we went from Catherine the Great to Vladimir Putin. Anyway, still love the music. One of my fave from you guys.
    83
  1339. I have a huge freaking collection of Pulp Sci-fi comics/graphic novels from my uncle. The books are called Weird Fantasy, and they're pretty cool!
    83
  1340. can I just say I've been watching this channel since the beginning and I love your content. From the wendigo, to the pirate queen, Genghis Khan, and the seminal tragedy, and Joan of Arc. For almost as long as I remember this channel and extra history has made me who I am, and its been wonderful learning so much, I have a friend that a while ago was talking about high school, and at the time I was still in middle school (A couple years are between us) and he said the stuff I learned from this channel was stuff they hadn't even learned yet. Back then I couldn't subscribe or like because none of us made an account. Then I got a laptop and I was happy to see the channel thriving. I'm now a huge history buff and have you guys to thank. Also, I love D&D so when I saw all that kind of stuff on your channel I got excited, so that's just more to love. Thank you for all the amazing memories, can't wait for the next episode!
    83
  1341. "Good" leaders creating something incredible, but which their successors lack the skills and/or resources to hold together... I'm reminded of so many other series you've done in which a "great" leader does that exact thing. The idea of settling for less when one can get more doesn't quite sit right with me on an emotional level, but no logical rebuttal occurs to me off the top of my head. After all, "great" leaders have been sacrificing my future to enrich their present for longer than I've been alive.
    83
  1342. Viewed as a companion piece for the previous episodes, this does a great job of showing how the situation in Japan spiralled out of control so well. This is a cool little piece, would love to see this kind of video on future series where it's appropriate.
    83
  1343. Either you die a hero or you live long enough to see yourselve become a villain
    82
  1344. And I know understand what the inspiration for the Koopas in the Mario games comes from... Thank you Jordan! You really got a great myth as your final assignment 😄
    82
  1345. I'll admit, this series is really helping me learn the different types of beer and what types I might actually like. If stouts are really on the sweeter side and Pilsners are lighter and more refreshing I might want to try a few.
    82
  1346. Can you imagine in modern day america someone extremely religious fighting FOR social equality? Mad lad read the bible and went "The bible said we're equal and BY GOD, I'll make it so." Legend.
    82
  1347. Everyone knows that Santa Claus is a Time Lord. It's the only explanation. 😅
    82
  1348. Ah, the Yule Goat. I was hype for this one. There is on youtube a live, 24/7, livestream of the Yule Goat, to see if it thoes survive.
    81
  1349. If history classes just played this channel we'd have a lot more history majors!
    81
  1350. Love this series, cant wait to see more. Ive recently read a lot of whats been recommended and enjoyed most of it. Also is there merch for the cat? That cat-stronaut would be a great pin or sticker
    81
  1351. YES! The greatest pharaoh of ancient egypt! Love your work guys!😊😊😊😊❤❤❤
    81
  1352. Sorry, my heart lies with Ascension in C and Waning Moon
    81
  1353. Damn Extra Credits back with another banger. Hope we get more information about the Battle of Blair Mountain. Definitely an underrated aspect of American History
    80
  1354. Thank you for this series! A hero's tale should be told in detail for the entire world.
    80
  1355. It must be 6 weeks later
    80
  1356. Not gonna lie, the Catherine the great chair shot popped me. More of these please!
    79
  1357. This was, by far, the most thrilling fight scene in Extra History... uh... history. Hats off to the writing, the animation, the sound effects, and the narration.
    79
  1358. The problem I find with horror is that I don't leave horror in the pages. I often take them to the real world which is why I avoid horror. If you can suggest books that aren't horror then I would be more than glad to read them. Also, I notice the artist loves to reference a lot of other things than what you are talking about. D&D, Futurama, Steven Universe, Ghost Busters, and Fallout to name a few. Please tell the artist to keep it up because I love seeing the little additions. It keeps my mind even more engaged when I'm playing "Where's the next reference?".
    79
  1359. I love the fact that you address that she was murdered for political reasons rather that being a martyr of the christian fanatism.
    78
  1360. My wife and I got to see Frederick's Sanssouci Palace and his grave while in Germany recently. He has always struck me as a very humble, down-to-Earth man, despite his being one of the most important leaders of his era. Looking forward to this series!
    78
  1361. The better way to learn history
    77
  1362. I remember reading the Wikipedia article for this a few years ago. it seemed like such a random thing to be remembered in history, interesting to see why.
    77
  1363. Really glad you guys covered the part about his lover in the beginning of this video, I’ve seen a lot of people online deny that such things ever happened in Fredericks life.
    77
  1364. "Spread by the sword" is inaccurate, sir. Islam was actually spread by the tax code. Islamic rulers imposed their faith by charging Non-Muslims a poll tax (the Jizya) for practicing their faiths. In fact it was mostly Christians that converted people through armed coercion, as many pagan peoples of Northern and Central Europe can attest
    77
  1365. Ah, The Long Walk. One of King’s underrated short stories.
    77
  1366. They are doing a series on the actual Bismarck this fall if someone is curious.
    76
  1367. Christmas is winning so much? That in the US it has eaten Thanksgiving and is gnawing on Halloween.
    76
  1368. Awesome!!!!, thank you. I love scary winter stories.
    76
  1369. May he rest in peace, but never die in our hearts.
    76
  1370. I swear if history class was this accessible my time in it would have been a lot more productive
    76
  1371. POLAND MENTIONED 🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱
    76
  1372. من خوشحالم که شما در حال انجام یک قسمت از ایران هستید
    76
  1373. Huh, had no idea this was actually part of the DC universe. Hard to imagine that Batman could end up fighting this guy.
    76
  1374. Those Oni be looking like they're trying to take Max to where wild things are 😆😅🙃
    75
  1375. This is one of the unknown events that really shaped the period
    75
  1376. I love the baba Yaga tale thank you for covering some more Russian stuff❤
    75
  1377. There is a torch by Banting's house here in town that is to stay lit until a cure for diabetes is found.
    75
  1378. 5:29 I think it would be better if you said this was nothing compared to what happens EVERY DAY to African Americans because of slavery
    75
  1379. Ah an Ireland history video, nice to hear more about my history
    75
  1380. I am mastering this campaign and as a first time DM i must say, this is a really good introduction story for players and narrators alike. Everything is simple, but open to nuances. 9/10
    74
  1381. I'm glad you're doing this. Sci-fi is important and interesting and if there is something that can be recovered, Mary Seacole that stuff back into the public eye.
    74
  1382. Read all of Austen last year, Pride and Prejudice is by far my favorite book.
    74
  1383. I really liked this video. I never considered Samson as a representative for Israel, breaking covenants and yet turning back to the Lord and receiving his strength again. Keep up the good work with all channels of Extra Credits!
    74
  1384. I feel like I need to read the "Martian Chronicles". Recently I've been very pessimistic about how it feels like humanity has become more stupid, naive and intent on ignoring major problems in society and potential future disasters until they come. Reading this book will most likely help give me a more optimistic view on the future of humanity.
    73
  1385. All realities have limitations. That isn't a characteristic specific to virtual ones. The list of things that I cannot do, or whose outcomes don't seem to make sense to me in this world we like to call 'reality' is as long as it is tedious. What virtual worlds have is often different limitations that are at odds with the baseline that normal 'reality' establishes... Thus it is only through comparison that you can infer anything...
    73
  1386. Don't usually comment, but i need to express how much I appreciate your content. All of it. Particularly this lately literature based content, but it's all fantastic. I don't watch you guys like i watch i do the late night show clips that i watch. I'm always stoked when i see you have new videos. I'm " rewinding" to get every word. Every picture. It's hard to find such passion for "content" as for you guys. It's clear you love what you do. And i love you for it. One of these days, I'll afford to support you on patreon, but until then, just don't stop. Please. Love you guys, so much. Cheers.
    73
  1387. Another day another amazing series! Love your content guys 😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
    73
  1388. Straight up “fireflying it” is one of my favorite lines this show has ever said.
    73
  1389. Once again, an exciting and tense piece of history presented by this channel. I cannot wait to see how the story goes (well, I know it leads to war; what I mean is presented by you peoples). Keep up this exceptional work!
    72
  1390. I've seen the movie and it was powerful... Specially the lighthouse scene.
    72
  1391. Fun fact: After the stunt with the pipe, he actually had trouble walking back home due to the sheer mass and weight of the enormous brass balls he was dragging behind him.
    72
  1392. "Oh hey, they're threatening to kill you, but its probably nothing. Lets go walk right up to them in a posse, I'm sure that won't go wrong at all." It's like Virgil wanted a shootout. I have no idea why he thought that might be a good idea.
    72
  1393. L love the Series on the Potato Famine and how you guys talk about it great knowing million of People who love history know a little but more because of your guys and now people around the world can watch this series of new episodes
    72
  1394. Former SDA here. Its fascinating they focus so heavily on miller. so much so i didn't know about snow. also for those interested they interpret the disappointment as Christ entering the holiest place of the heavenly temple to begin judgement.
    72
  1395. Walpole called. He wants his Extra History Roleplay Accounts back.
    72
  1396. This era of extreme famine helped to create the tale of Hansel and Gretel, and we're going to see some witches burning on the next episode... Interesting, to say the least.
    72
  1397. Very good episode!! Rough she couldn't escape the drugs on the road abundant with them 🥺
    72
  1398. Love this Sitting Bull series. Have been waiting for years!
    72
  1399. There's actually lots of non dragon african creatures that match the descriptions of dragons such as the Ninki nanka, the Grootslang Bida the black serphant Aido-Hwedo was described as a great serphant who keeps the world spinning She's also often described as a dragon in some mentions Grootslang were said to both a python and an elephant in one hunted to near extinction because the gods thought they were to powerful they live in caves hoarding vast wealth of gold and jewels Zulu have myths about giant sky snakes whose withering causes tornadoes said to have the head of a Zebra body of a snake and eel and a Giraffe's neck
    71
  1400. Millions of lives and counting, myself included.
    71
  1401. I discovered this channel pretty recently and I gotta say I love these videos! They give me insight on history and mythology that I didn’t know before. Both entertaining and educational. ❤
    71
  1402. I'm soo relieved this doesn't translate to "extra credit going away." Love your style and various serials.
    71
  1403. I also recommend listening to the audible version, with McAvoy and Neiman, really awesome
    70
  1404. Is there any particular edition of "Frankenstein" that ya'll recommend?
    70
  1405. That was one of the more intense openings you've done on this channel. Well done
    70
  1406. Non-Euclidean geometry? Man, I haven't learned about that since I was a high school freshman ten years ago. Looking forward to it!
    70
  1407. Oh I've been waiting for this video to come out since the last episode. I have a fascination with Iranian history and this video really inspired me to read up more on the historical period. When you were going through the things that you might have gotten wrong or glossed over you kept bringing up sources that I had recently read or was going to read It's nice when you're able to engage with a common body of knowledge like that; it takes me back to my university days. It's funny that you mention alternate history as I'm actually planning to write a timeline on the alternate history forum inspired by this, albeit one where Kawus wins out against Khosrau.
    70
  1408. Thanks for all your hardwork and dedication guys! Your content always makes me more imformed and fills me with joy!😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
    70
  1409. Another one of EH amazing compilations?! YES PLEASE 😊😊😊😊
    70
  1410. I completely forgot about Catherine’s role in these events so it was a genuine surprise when she came in with the chair.
    69
  1411. God I loved that movie too. That they still called their guns 'swords' so so camp.
    69
  1412. I am Matthew of Krol. Resistance is futile. Your life as it has been is over. From this time forward, you will service us.
    69
  1413. Also, would love to see an episode on mead halls!! A contrast with how pubs are like social living rooms today!
    69
  1414. Hey Extra History! Love your show, been watching since the Ned Kelly series! Awesome work, keep it up!! ❤
    69
  1415. It caused grapes to be difficult to grow from most northern regions of Europe, which changed their drinking culture. They substituted grains to brew beer and distill hard alcohol. It went from wine to beer and liquor. So the effects are still with us.
    69
  1416. Awesome work! You guys make learning politics fun and interesting!
    68
  1417. Bill Blizzard is a fantastic name.
    68
  1418. Dragon's Milk is actually still around, sort of. New Holland brewery in Michigan makes an 11% abv Bourbon barrel aged stout called Dragon's Milk and it's absolutely delicious. It's hard to find in a lot of places and stupid expensive, I've seen individual 12 oz. bottles going for around 5 bucks each here on the west coast, but it's so worth a try if you can.
    68
  1419. Youtube crashed for me as I went to watch the update video. I was convinced the Internet was pulling another Homestuck debacle and that the news was too much to handle.
    68
  1420. They probably had a few dozen to hundred maids to help raise the children so they could work out a nice rotation of diaper changing
    68
  1421. Keep these coming! Such a fascinating topic!! :D
    68
  1422. Is it even legal to stop a hospital treating a patient?
    68
  1423. Welcome to the ranks of fatherhood <3 it’s a thankless job, there’s no training, and its importance cannot be overstated. You’ll be fine!
    67
  1424. I just love the “Take that, dead [person’s name]!” Moments. They’re darkly hilarious.😂
    67
  1425. Thats sacrilege!
    66
  1426. you know it's a good day when Extra Credits uploads. Great video you guys! Keep it up!
    66
  1427. This song captures everything about the man so perfectly! thanks for this outstanding piece!
    66
  1428. Thank you for covering RUR! I was incredibly fortunate to have that taught to me in 10th grade, and am surprised that how few people know of it.
    66
  1429. The NFT jokes are so damn good
    66
  1430. ;-)
    65
  1431. Curious if this Ghana is different than the Ghana we know today? If it is different did the new Ghana we know use this older Ghana’s name as a tribute after the British were forced to abandon the Gold Coast?
    65
  1432. Eleanor is one of my favorite historic female figures, I often consider her as the Cleopatra of France.
    65
  1433. That opening scene is one of the most visually stunning you guys have ever produced. Hats off to the artists!
    65
  1434. Your mythology content is superb! Keep up the incredible work guys!
    65
  1435. I like this history channel!
    65
  1436. Merry Christmas Extra History! You Guys Are The “Goat”
    65
  1437. As a professional brewer, I have been looking forward to this series since you first mentioned you were doing a series on beer. I can't believe its finally here.
    64
  1438. Thank you! Never got a chance to read Angelou's works before but I will put it on my to-do list. 😀
    64
  1439. Getting pissed on Xmas isn't just an American tradition, it's the most traditional way to celebrate across much of western Europe. That's why Oliver Cromwell banned Christmas under his Puritanical rule as Lord Protector of England
    64
  1440. Midsummer Night's Dream always puts me in the mood for "Oscar" starring Sylvester Stallone. That and Gargoyles, but I suspect there will be a dozen shout outs to that fine show. Not nearly as many for Oscar.
    64
  1441. So that is the origin story for one of the "League of extraordinary Gentlemen" characters. Eager to watch your take on most of the others. :)
    64
  1442. Yes he does, catch Extra politics on their Twitch channel on Wednesdays.
    64
  1443. I adore the combination of western drums and Japanese Taiko. Really good interpretation of Japan’s rapid industrialization and sudden interest in western affairs. That, and it sounds like an ominous war march. Awesome work.
    64
  1444. Let’s go a video on this man is what we wanted
    64
  1445. turks pronounce it jenggiz han, thats also a very legitimate pronounciation, people shouldn't worry how they pronounce it as even their people pronounced it differently
    64
  1446. One of the things I seem to remember about the movie was that its depiction of Asian men was straight out of old Hollywood racist tropes. The Asian men in the film were either abusive, philandering jerks, or emasculated and effeminate. The daughters in the film always seemed to find happiness with Caucasian mates.
    64
  1447. Those first minutes are the pinnacle of Extra History....
    63
  1448. Oh, I've actually heard of this before back in early highscool for me. Glad to see that the book has come full circle, and makes me interested in reading this!
    63
  1449. any day there's a new Extra History video is a good day.
    63
  1450. You guys are the best channel on YouTube. Been watching since the escapist days and I'm now 20, an award winning filmmaker, a published writer, a video game designer and a stand up comedian studying my craft at guildhall. I wouldn't be who I am without this channel. Thanks for making the world a smarter place
    63
  1451. Oooh, using Catherine's tune at the end there. It is suitably sonorous.
    63
  1452. Article 11 from the articles of confederation series. Love that song.
    63
  1453. @Extra History, from that beginning of the soldier running and the body falling to the wrestling match explaining the Third Silesian War, and the end with the Napoleon quote. this is by far my all time favourite episode of any Extra History. Thank you for this masterpiece of educational content.
    63
  1454. In Belgium i know that wild boars are a troublesome subject. It's a local animal with some cultural significance and which is often hunted for food like dried sausage. But they wreck havoc on crop fields and it's know that some hunter feed them (which is illegal) with the puropose of encouraging them reproducing and making them tamer so they're easier to hunt. We've been trying for years to reintroduce wolves in the country but some farmers and hunter see them as a threat for their buisness.
    63
  1455. You know you are gifted when the church unintentionally compliments you by calling you the antichrist.
    63
  1456. Oh Ya! My favorite HoTS character Sonya just got more interesting.
    62
  1457. I legit haven’t laughed this hard in a while. Absolutely hilarious episode.
    62
  1458. I know this book might be a bit hard to summarize in 10 minutes but I would love to see an episode on Les Miserables
    61
  1459. this explains why we don't hear more about this empire despite how powerful it was we don't have clear records what a shame but this is still intriguing and fascinating can't wait to learn more next week
    61
  1460. I saw a rendition of it done in Dead Poets Society. It was even referenced in shows like Gargoyles (which was really good, in my opinion) and Animaniacs, though that was a parody because Yakko poked fun at it as he translated it.
    61
  1461. This series reminds me of the situation in WW1 where it seems like people on both sides were actively trying and narrowly falling to prevent war or things happened to go wrong in enough different small areas to cause it all to implode. Thank you guys for another very interesting video! Merry Christmas out there everybody! ✝️🎄
    61
  1462. Extra Credits give him a raise dammit
    61
  1463. I am Thai American buddhist and have watched your second episode on nebula (long time fan). This series is FANTASTIC. You are right about how diverse buddhism is and I don't claim to be a good source of it but this has been a pleasant experience when compared to learning it in AP World history where I was more confused than anything. A lot of the story and even discussions about the practices and principles like Nuns (conservativism toward women / gender hierarchy-esque) and the important (dependent) relationship between the common people and the monks are just chefs kiss. It's those details I tell my friends that I wouldn't expect to hear. Again, I am not any authority of the subject, but this was very interesting as it resonated with me more than the education I got from school about my own religion. Interested to see how far this goes. Had made me think of the tales I was told by my folks about the Buddha. People have asked me "wait there is hell in buddhism?", "isn't it a philosophy?", "is nirvana a place or mental state?" Valid questions, but it just shows how buddhism and how people know it is so complicated and mysterious, especially outside the East.
    61
  1464. Napoleon: I'm going to recognize the government of the former slaves... but reestablish slavery. Former slaves, you okay with that?
    61
  1465. Too bad you skipped Fridrich´s dealing in Bohemia ... that was real-life Game of Thrones and affected whole Czech nation to this day.
    61
  1466. Can't wait to see the Lies of The History of Sleep episode! :D
    60
  1467. What I have learned from these videos is that we need more John Browns.
    60
  1468. Goodness! I can't imagine a world where "alternative facts" are believed over provable science. That would be so silly!
    60
  1469. ​ @extrahistory A quick suggestion; for stories with such strong endings, perhaps consider putting the sponsor at the beginning of the segment, that way we have a great ending. I agree with the others, not the best sponsorship transition, but still love the work you guys do. :)
    59
  1470. Lit,so glad to see an African story featured on the channel especially one from a country with so little representation as Lesotho l,please do more of these bro❤️🔥
    59
  1471. Content like this is always hard to watch but I’m very grateful someone had the 🏀 ⚽️ s to do it. Thank you for your honest take on history.
    59
  1472. ​ @extrahistory Would love to see a like... Dark side of history of beer? Like how you did with Justinian where we see some of the darker stories. Plus it's more time to get into the stories you had to skip.
    59
  1473. One of my favorites. Will you be doing Sense and Sensibility or, better yet, Persuasion?
    59
  1474. Lovely music! The whole series on Ethiopia was so well done, and taught me much about a great nation of which I knew very little.
    59
  1475. As someone who just recently landed a job at Anheuser -Busch, the timing of this series is rather timely for me
    59
  1476. Has a Portuguese it brought me great joy to learn about this "rescue" of Ethiopia. With us having done soooooo much harm in other parts of Africa, it's nice to learn we also did some good.
    59
  1477. How else can he display his elbow patches
    59
  1478. 2:52 For anyone confused of why Virginia is shaped like this, this was how Virginia was shaped before West Virginia left.
    58
  1479. As a Canadian we are very proud of this team which Earned us our first Nobel prize. It is a shame that the pharmaceutical industry in the United States is exploiting this life-saving medicine for extra profit.
    58
  1480. As an Ethiopian who was to put up with Ethiopian music blasting on Ethiopian holidays, I can confirm that this is what it sounds like. Just a lot better.
    58
  1481. Ferrari said, “you aren’t Henry Ford, you’re Henry Ford the Second.” This was a great series. I went to Greenfield village as a kid. Henry Fords sanitized accomplishments were bedtime stories for me growing up. I appreciate learning more:)
    58
  1482. Thank you extra history. You make the world a better place
    58
  1483. "A noble cause, but a bad plan." - Oversimplified
    58
  1484. I don't know if it was just me, but as a Brit that opening scene reminded me a lot of the Grenfell tower firre.
    58
  1485. 1. Use of Law & Order CHUNG CHUNG melted my heart. 2. I would like the Paddington 2 analysis please. How much coffee do you need?
    58
  1486.  @extrahistory honestly, it was probably the best transition possible. Perhaps it could’ve fit more if the last segment explained the slightly improved treatment of natives as to be hopeful and more uplifting
    57
  1487. Can I just say your animation is getting more amazing every episode, keep up the tremendous work!
    57
  1488. One of the top(if no the top) history channel out there. Keep up the awesome work!

  1489. I'm a touch disappointed you didn't share the extended title of Little Wars, as it is such a spectacular product of its time and author; decades ahead in gender ideology and yet still pitifully misogynistic. "Little Wars: a game for boys from twelve years of age to one hundred and fifty and for that more intelligent sort of girl who likes boys' games and books."

  1490. 2:54 - And 3. Most French Canadians/Quebecers of the time used the name “Canadien” to refer to their French speaking compatriots at that time: since simply French (Or “Français” as they said) referred to people from France itself. They also used the term Canadian to differentiate from most English Speaking people of Canada who largely did not identify themselves as Canadian yet, but instead still held hon strongly to being people of the British Empire in the same way as anyone living on the British isles (Regardless of if they were born on those isles or in North-America. So kudos for using the term correctly and for looking into the proper identifications/names of the time! I look forward to the next parts of this mini-series on Québec since, as a French-Canadian myself, it is a large part of what we cover in secondary (“High school” as you Yankees say 😉 ) history classes here.
    57
  1491. Ah so I see Jack Rackham's opening on Fredrich II had longer legs than we think.
    56
  1492. Yay! New episode of the best history content on YouTube! 😍😍🍻
    56
  1493. Ordo Extra Historia Throwback! :_ExtraEmojiShiny::_ExtraEmojiHeart:
    56
  1494. "Romeo and Juliet is NOT a love story." My whole life has been a lie...
    55
  1495. You guys are the Best! Compilations rock🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
    55
  1496. This is still my favorite novel of all. I own both the original Red release, and the updated version for the translation fixes that came with it. The manga and film have noticeable differences that take away from some of the quality, and the audiobook available on Audible sadly has a very monotonic narration, but I've read the physical print version over a dozen times, and will always go back to it. But seriously, can we get an audiobook version that doesn't sound like the reader is sleeping through his lines? Please?
    55
  1497. Definitely miss Extra Mythology 🥺😢
    55
  1498. Love seeing you guys cover Federico II. as a Sicilian I'm thrilled!
    55
  1499. As the son of a late Point Graduate, this brought a smile to my face. I don’t know if he even knew about this.
    55
  1500. After watching Extra History for years, I’ve come to realize how true the line in Dark Knight is: “You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain”.
    54
  1501. I love when they animate some scenes, ik its probably really hard to do but it looks really good and it would be amazing if they did it more often
    54
  1502. Welcome to the family!
    54
  1503. AMEN FOR EGG NOG!!!
    54
  1504. Ah, now this is a book I haven't read. Did have a lit professor in college who wouldn't stop banging on about it, though. Every class he taught, he mentioned it at least three times.
    54
  1505. I love the compilation intros so much
    54
  1506. Bravo! I'm from Québec (French Canada) and too often people misinterpret this part of history of Canada. Chapeau bas.
    54
  1507. what a fascinating man to be both equally admirable for a taking something that I grew up with and loved to the heights that I would come to adore it for and also be the reason why it wouldn't progress which makes me want to hate him but at the end ultimately I cannot, I suppose that is what makes history fascinating the men that do great things can also be the ones that tear those same great things down
    54
  1508. darthmunck I think that's required to gain an understanding if you aren't already familiar with Euclidean geometry (and the history is interesting).
    54
  1509. Loving the animation keep up the good work
    53
  1510. Thank you so much for this lesson. You definitely have a new fan. John Brown’s fight for justice and peace for the people of America isn’t over. We must continue to March with him, as his souls keeps marching on.
    53
  1511. So Eleanor was pretty much an earlier Victoria. Considering she also had a lot of children and grandchildren end up on thrones in Europe and ruled for a long time
    53
  1512. Had to create a class about beer for my English teaching job and man, this video series was determinant on the elaboration process, thank you so much for it!!!
    53
  1513. This series is really good even though I am not interested in cars
    52
  1514. The mighty unifier of italy! This series will be out of this world! Extra history! You guys are the Best ❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊
    52
  1515. Earth rises above the moon's horizon... cue Star Trek theme intro...🖖🏾
    52
  1516. The idea is not that they need work to have meaning, but that they need meaning to be happy, and in most cases derive meaning from their work. Yes, there are other ways to make life meaningful, but that isn't always practical - travel is expensive, not everyone enjoys creating art, education for its own sake can be difficult to find, and you still need to put food on the table somehow. Ideally people would still be able to pursue whatever lifestyle or career fulfills them the most even if it's less efficient than an automated alternative, but that would be a hard sell to anyone who stands to profit from efficiency being as high as possible.
    52
  1517. Have a good christmas, keep up the good work
    52
  1518. Frederick is always so fashionably late that this episode took two weeks. On par with the character.
    51
  1519. OHHHH! THIS is where "Do you want to live forever?" as a rallying cry came from! I'd heard it in one of the Gaunt's Ghosts novels, and while it sounded odd at the time, I hadn't realised it was from somewhere else.
    51
  1520. This, along with Postulate 5, have become my favorite music tracks from you. Great job!
    51
  1521. The closing words were particularly touching. Cheers to the whole crew.
    51
  1522. Been here since 6 years and I just want to thank you guys for always having a series for everything I needed to learn either for school or out of boredom
    51
  1523. I love these mid week episodes guys! You always make my day!😊😊❤❤
    51
  1524. “His soul goes marching on!”
    51
  1525. This would make excellent video game music.
    50
  1526. Only a new extra credits video to make my saturday even better
    50
  1527. Romeo and Juliet is a mob drama
    50
  1528. You guys always make my days better with these midweek videos!😊😊😊😊🎉🎉🎉🎉
    50
  1529. Really loving this series! The combination of specific narrative scenes with larger social analysis is really effective
    49
  1530. "I'm the show runner I can do whatever I want" my favorite line of the episode. XD
    49
  1531. My Favorite Show is back!! :_ExtraEmojiHeart::_ExtraEmojiShiny:
    49
  1532. Watching from Detroit. So proud to see the local history!
    49
  1533. We got Brazilian Empire, and the Ethiopian Empire is coming! Hell yeah!
    49
  1534. 7:10 i have never before been tempted to watch/listen to a Podcast. But if you were to upload a podcast episode about all the amazing stories you guys found during researching these episodes, I'd be SO interested!
    49
  1535. I would love to see musical about this or any historical person
    48
  1536. Love the channel, extra History rules!!
    48
  1537. Something you guys don’t get enough credit for is your endings. Every last one has made me feel stunned and makes the subject stick in my head for days afterwards. They are truly profound. Thank you!
    48
  1538. I am looking forward to a full history of him since it’s surprisingly uncommon. Usually when I hear about him it’s either someone who only gloats on him being a visionary or the person who loves to focus on his darker beliefs. They make him less of a man and more of some American mythical figure
    48
  1539. I feel like these topics are so random and are stuff I didn't ask for, but I am SO glad they do them anyway.
    47
  1540. Rob: ‘I could talk for 45 minutes, but I'm not going to do that.’ Also Rob: talks for 35 minutes. Thanks for keeping it short, Rob! 😂
    47
  1541. Love your videos guys! This seried will be awesome! Cant never get enough of your work 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
    47
  1542. “Played all their interrupt cards” Man if that isn’t a way to tell somebody you’re a Magic OG
    47
  1543. This is such an important topic for frank and honest discussion. Thank you for having the bravery to raise this issue for awareness.
    47
  1544. Finally a new episode
    47
  1545. So let's give them more views and subscriptions so they can hire a larger staff to keep producing this amazing content.
    47
  1546. My 2 penn'orth ("2¢" for the Atlantically challenged), on the question of whether something counts as myth, is the qualification of "Mimetic Circulation" (a term I learned from Tale Foundry). Has the story been told, retold and reinterpreted so much that it now reflects something about the culture that created it. (I'm joking about the "Atlantically challenged" thing, I love my fellows from across the pond, even if they do drive on the wrong side of the road, call trousers "pants", price petrol by the gallon and formulate dates middle endianly)😉
    47
  1547. An important and informative series; nice to see this one getting the 'complete' treatment!
    47
  1548. This is one of my favorite stories growing up. Wrote a final paper on her in college and I was so excited to see this go up I immediately shared it with my dnd group where she serves as my warlock/Paladin's patron. Loved this
    47
  1549. Me: "I wonder why that list of results starts with things like fortnite and not the Hunger games. I mean, it's clearly a copy/paste" *Suzanne Collins says she never read Battle Royale* Excuse me, my eyes rolled so hard I have to collect them from the floor!
    46
  1550. Absolutely stunning.
    46
  1551. I'm actually reading this right now! What hilarious timing!
    46
  1552. Okay, I need to draw attention to the panel at 3:07. As an Israeli Jew, I've seen this image many times in my life, and it was always one of the most powerful emblems of the Holocaust for me. Ali - hat's off to you; to say you've done this bit of horror justice would be a massive understatement.
    46
  1553. The Patrons made a good choice, this series is great
    46
  1554. thought this would be a one off but a whole series from this is pretty interesting :D
    46
  1555. thank you guys for covering vietnamese myth
    46
  1556. That's a cute little spud you got there!
    46
  1557. Thanks a lot , I´ve tried to make my best art for this series and so far I had great fun doing it :D, I hope you continue to enjoy what is to come.
    46
  1558. Reversed Text: When recording for EC: "Backward talking sure is fun now!" Charity numbers go up: "Oh my gosh, you are too, you are too kind!" Charity numbers keep going up: "Holy Moly this is insane!" Talking to Zoey: "What do you think your episode is gonna be about?"
    46
  1559. 2:35 you can clearly see a gate address, as well as the point of origin symbol for the earth stargate.
    46
  1560. I hate to admit it, but I've been waiting for this since I learned of this person on ERB. Should have known Extra History would surpass all my expectations
    45
  1561. I love the fordlandia shorts and I am glad to get a bit of context for them and what led up to that dumpster fire and what was happening at that time.
    45
  1562. I am still surprised Alfred forgave Guthrum many times, and Danish kingdoms were really volatile. Also, I like the fact that Vikings influenced British culture. There's no such thing as homogeneity in culture, and everyone can bring the best and the worst of everyone. Now we have awesome tv dramas in History Channel, new video game stories for God of War and Viking Metal bands.
    45
  1563. Master Otter sounds like someone who should be the protagonist's sensei in an action anime.
    45
  1564. There's so much that the modern understanding of Frankenstein leaves out, from the implied alchemal knowledge and techniques which went into creating the monster to its existence as a nearly human creature, just different enough to disturb the doctor (an accidental precursor to the modern concept of the uncanny valley?). Oh, and Clerval. I'd love to see an adaptation which focuses on the bits which movies usually leave out. Hopefully, this series will expose more people to these fascinating elements of the work.
    45
  1565. I was not expecting lies on this series because it like the whole reason for joining is for being part of lies
    45
  1566. Hey Extra Credits. I just want to say yet again. You intro as normal is amazing. The book physics gives me goosebumps
    45
  1567. I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL, do a history of Mexican empire please
    45
  1568. FINALLY HYPATIA PART 2!!!!
    45
  1569. When the people overturn the attempts of slavers to silence the will of the people, John Brown's soul GOES MARCHING ON! GLORY, GLORY, HALLELUJAH!
    45
  1570. It's a shame this release didn't line up with National Beer Day on April 7 in the US
    45
  1571. A little diddy I feel John would have chuckled to hear the army singing Away down south in the land of traitors...
    45
  1572. EH! HUGE fan of your work! Never miss a video!😊😊😊😊😊
    44
  1573. The red “broken tulips” look like they are made of prosciutto.
    44
  1574. Fun fact! In the radiant city of Lyon, France (look, I live here) there is a brand of craft beer and brasserie named Ninkasi, from the name of the goddess. After we heard about that from one of the waiter, we took the habit to start each meal there with a toast to Ninkasi.
    44
  1575. If only the next president would just be like "executive order, no more of this evil insulin patients"
    44
  1576. Hi extra credits! Can you please do more extra mythology, the diversity in that series is absolutely amazing!
    44
  1577. Mentally rips up the background in 3 seconds, while still appreciating the talk, feeling like a Holmes for a moment. (Internal: Oh, that, with the that, and the that! The Lost Ark! The T-Rex with the top hat, I say! Poe and Poe! Who was the E5 with the boonie hat?) External: Great presentation, man. I especially like the information about the Triads, the Tongs, and Guan Yu. Thank you for the show.
    44
  1578. This series has been amazing! You guys are the Best 😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
    43
  1579. I have had diabetes for almost 7 years now, very glad medicine has progressed enough to keep me alive 👍🏻
    43
  1580. Okay, just to be clear. Revel's actually performing Blur's "Song 2", isn't he? :D
    43
  1581. I was born in that Kolín. There is a hill named Bedřichov after Frederick the Great
    43
  1582. Today I learned the origin of the name Ninkasi. Which is also the name of a fantastic craft brewery in Eugene, OR. I guess they knew their history!
    43
  1583. extra history you guys are amazing always top tier videos and hilarious as well
    43
  1584. I remember this being teased during the panel about it at MAGfest this year, this is great
    43
  1585. I've been waiting for this video. Just to add in. Emperor Ling's "older brother"(the General against the eunuchs) was actually He Jin, the older brother of Empress He aka the Emperor's consort. Dong Zhuo was actually "invited" by He Jin and Yuan Shao to the capital to kill the eunuchs, though after He Jin died, he had plans on his own. After his death, Dong Zhuo's corpse burned for several days when lit, because of the amount of fat he had.
    43
  1586. 1:40 ...and that says A LOT in 2024...! 😱😱😱
    43
  1587. I'd love to see an episode on Bleeding Kansas going into detail about the various skirmishes and Beecher's Bibles etc.
    42
  1588. The chess board at 3:25 is set up incorrectly, the knights should be over near the castles on the edge of the board and Frederic should be, as king, swapped places with the queen piece.
    42
  1589. We've seen him on panels he is the guy that usually stalls when james is late
    42
  1590. Having played her son Geoffrey in “The Lion in Winter,” this will be a very interesting series for me.
    42
  1591. The art and narration are second to none guys! Bravo! 👏👏👏👏👏
    42
  1592. Bro threw holy water at snow and ice and expected it to melt💀
    41
  1593. Ok, that thumbnail deserves to become a meme. "Oh, no, my only weakness... Logical thinking!"
    41
  1594. I appreciate the little comedic segments - going through the mtg “stack” of actions and counter-actions was good fun
    41
  1595. History has some funny stories
    41
  1596. What more does Extra History need to do to get "The Greats" in their name???
    41
  1597. A new Extra History video!!! Let’s gooooooo!
    41
  1598. Hey folks! There's been a couple of helpful notes in the comments about our pronunciation of names in this video. We appreciate the feedback, but also ask for folks to keep in mind that there are multiple accepted pronunciations for the names, depending on where you are from. We worked hard with an external group to try and get the pronunciation of the names as accurate as we could and apologize for any discrepancies. Thanks! - A
    41
  1599. Thanks again for this video covering the unification of Italy.
    41
  1600. 2:45 - Before anyone say something, this is the flag of the Dano-Norwegian Realm, a united monarchy between Denmark and Norawy.
    41
  1601. I'm so excited for Extra Sci-Fi, it' seems like exactly the kind of series I'd want to see from EC!
    41
  1602. You can call it Jewish mythology, just as there is Scandinavian, German, Chinese, Celtic and other national mythologies. Almost every myth (or joke) is based on a kernel of truth, and in the two hundred year struggle between the Israelites and the Philistines, there were times of strife and periods of calm and even trade. This story, like most, has layers of meaning. Just as the slaying of the Philistine giant Goliath by shepherd boy David later king of ISrael. One parable is as you mentioned, a strong man falls for a sexy Philistine (enemy) lady who ends up betraying him and taking his power away. In his blind state, he nonetheless repents and gets the strength to finally bring down the Philistine pagan temple that has him bound and thereby becomes a martyr for his God and nation. So one can make of that as one will. Plenty of material. Interpret as you will.
    40
  1603. This was a great video. Extra History is always putting out great, informative content.
    40
  1604. Saw today's scishow video, just saw this in my subscription box. HMMMMMMMM
    40
  1605. Glad they’re getting into how intertwined Sicilian culture was with Arab culture.
    40
  1606. I think you're giving too much credit to romantic aspects and not enough to sociopolitical reasons for the relative successes of the Abrahamic religions: they were the ideologies of conquerors who forced their beliefs onto the conquered. And even still, accounting for 50%ish of world population there are four separate branches that are frequently in conflict with each other, so I hardly think that the Abramic religions can be said to be unified. Abrahamic religions excelled at institutionalisation, which I would credit for more of its success than being appealing.
    40
  1607. Those Secret History segments... I know they're unlikely, but I want some of those to be true, it's just insane enough to be fun.
    40
  1608. Equal treatment and pay for an army isn’t the same thing as a society based on equal distribution
    39
  1609. What makes Extra Credits great is that they cover relatively unknown or look-over parts of history. Gotta respect that.
    39
  1610. That's actually on the list. After the current one about Majapahit and the one after that about Viking Expansion.
    39
  1611. This series is alredy amazing! You guys rock! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💪💪💪💪
    39
  1612. Wow, I’m 17 1/2 and I’ve been debating voting, and this just gave me the reason to vote. I hate that we are never taught this in school
    39
  1613. Sadly, I feel that what happened with the Nobel illustrates how and why we tend to disregard collective efforts in science: the paper credited all who took part in the experiment (specifically Collip and Best) and they got snubbed by the Nobel Comitee anyway
    39
  1614. The fact that the "wealthy merchant" has a Trazyn The Infinite mini in his curio-cabinet really nails that he HAS the money. God WH minis are expensive....
    39
  1615. Click the wheel in the lower right corner, choose "Subtitles -> Add subtitles", and go from there. Submit when you're done, and after a while (not sure how long) they should be available. ¡Mucho éxito! :)
    39
  1616. OMG, I love random history mini-episodes like these. 😂
    39
  1617. I hope you get around to The Tempest someday. There's so much to dig into there, not to mention the (arguably) deconstructive plot structure.
    38
  1618. Russian cinderella doesn't need a fairy godmother to make her catch an eye of the prince, she'll just have a woods witch murder her family and marry the czar herself! Sounds cool.
    38
  1619. EH: "On one side, the Cowboys" My brain: "On the other side, the Jets." My brain STILL: "On the other side from the Jets, the Sharks?"
    38
  1620. I am literally getting a filling right now I am watching this in the waiting room
    38
  1621. they might but their patreon supporters need to vote on it as they suggest and vote on all the episodes
    38
  1622. I was born in Michigan, at the hospital down the street from The Henry Ford Museum. It is an incredible place and some of my happiest childhood memories happened there and at Greenfield Village. I'm currently a history major at college and have no doubt that my experiences at the museum (and Extra History videos!) shaped my love of history. This was a great series! :)
    38
  1623. "...stupid peasant...!" "...help, help, i'm suppressed...!" 😉 ...a classic...! 😁👍
    38
  1624. This was one of my favorite movies as a teen. This is the first of your series that I ACTUALLY read lol!
    38
  1625. this is my favorite channel and all of you have taught me more about the world and game design so thank you for the wonderful memories.
    37
  1626. Your vids are brilliant. Short and nice . Love these vids. Your fan from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰🤝🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿. We always appreciate your time and hard work to make these videos.
    37
  1627. If this series appeared few years before, the sponsors would probably be the creators of the game Frostpunk. “The City Must Survive!”
    37
  1628. Hey just wanna say that I think you're handling the transition much better than just a hard change. Your audience at large will surely benefit from videos like these directing ppl over who may not have seen the first announcement video. And doing the giveaway is a great way to soften the blow. :)
    37
  1629. 1987MartinT one thing that makes politicians more dependent on lobbyists is that they don’t have expertise. So if a bill comes up about net neutrality, you have to find an expert to listen to because you don’t have time to become an expert yourself. Lobbyists often are the ones who show up offering that expertise. Or, if you’re Ron Wyden (D-OR), whom this channel has mentioned before, you have an advisor on technology issues who can give you independent advice.
    37
  1630. As someone who just started DMing, I am going to be taking notes.
    37
  1631. 3:14 - That detail on the mustache… Genius!
    37
  1632. This channel has changed so much for the better, but still kept the strong identity its had this whole time. It's been a staple of my youtube diet for half a decade.
    37
  1633. There is also a 2003 version of The Lion in Winter with Patrick Stewart and Glen Close in the lead roles. Both versions are well acted and well worth watching.
    37
  1634. I LOVE these midweek videos guys! And the arturian legends too ! Perfect combo🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤
    37
  1635. I am related to Clay Allison. Wyatt Earp actually had a famous showdown with him.
    37
  1636. I think Baba Yaga would be great in modern stories inspired by the myth. Kind of like how Attack on Titan draws from mythology for its story.
    37
  1637. How could they miss that?!! Maybe they got confused with Catherine de Bourgh's daughter Anne, who is Darcy's cousin?
    37
  1638. I LOVE THIS VIDEO!!!!!! This is what we are learning in Minnesota history Native Americans!
    37
  1639. Sean Connolly, not to be confused with Sean Connery.
    36
  1640. I adore your history output, but I tell you, this series has been an absolute joy in its own right. I am so excited to see what other books you have lined up to discuss, because there's so many wonderful stories out there.
    36
  1641. I love how you guys tell us all These Things the lies Videos
    36
  1642. It's a dead man's party Who could ask for more? Everybody's comin'; leave your body at the door Leave your body and soul at the door...
    36
  1643. So that giant who cut the rope indirectly caused the apocalypse
    36
  1644. Makes sense.
    36
  1645. Really looking forward to this series!! The point you made about conspiracy theories being used as a means of undermining societies was excellent, and depressingly familiar too
    36
  1646. A few months earler, trying that could have ended in a blood bath. But after a quarter million people had already left the country and the new leaders had announced everybody would be able to apply for visas (earlier you would have to be known as very trustworthy and/or you would have had a spouse and children you‘d leave behind if you did not return), the border guards decided not to arrest the people or turn them back even though crossing the border without a visa was technically still illegal.
    36
  1647. I've heard that monks excel at punching, as a character class. ;)
    36
  1648. Speaking from my experience as an administrator for a web forum, I think social media outlets need to limit how many accounts someone may have. They also need stronger methods of dealing with bot accounts and preventing new ones from being formed. Having dealt with spambots for a while (we get at least a few each day on average, and those are just the ones that break through our existing countermeasures), though, I'm not going to claim to know what exactly social media companies can do to block bot accounts, let alone how effective any of their countermeasures would be or whether or not there would be collateral damage. It's an arms race, for starters; bad actors are always going to seek ways to get around whatever defenses social media outlets develop, and given enough time, they will eventually find a weak spot to exploit, meaning social media outlets can't just put up a new layer of defense and call it a day (I speak from experience on this one; for a while, we were spambot-free thanks to automated countermeasures, but they started breaking through again a year or two ago). This arms race is also rigged in the bad actors' favor; bad actors only need to focus on breaking through the latest countermeasures, whereas social media outlets need to craft countermeasures that not only keep bad actors out, but are also precise enough to only affect bad actors. rjr81 also raises a good point about the dangers of making links between accounts public knowledge; cyberbullying is a serious risk if someone's got a personal account and an "anonymous" account, especially if the owner of the account is from a demographic that's frequently targeted in online harassment campaigns. You've brought up such campaigns in the past (I believe the most recent mention was in your video on CDA 230), so I do think it was an unfortunate oversight on your part that you apparently failed to consider it when making this video.

  1649. I totally didn't remember that Paris died in the play at all. In fact, I don't even remember there being such a character. I guess I wasn't paying much attention.
    36
  1650. One of the scariest things about Frankenstein I found in the foreword, where Shelley feels compelled to emphasize that the characters' morals are not representative of her own morals. It points to a contemporary ideal of moral purity that I see on the rise again today.
    36
  1651. Internalized Misogyny is still sexism.
    36
  1652. ALL OF IT IS GOOD TO KNOW THIS IS WHY I CAN CITE YOU AS A SOURCE IN HISTORY. THANK YOU
    36
  1653. Hehe these are my favorite part of the series! I can’t wait to get them every time!
    36
  1654. As a joke, I like to say the book has something to do with zombies.
    36
  1655. It's Saturday afternoon and this video is still unlisted. Did something happen, or was there a change in the day/time of release? Great video, btw, but I'm still wondering why it's not public yet.
    35
  1656. Would love to see more D&D "Actual Plays" from these guys, love the dynamic between the DM and players here
    35
  1657. Speaking of transitions, the Lakota actually started out not on the prairies but in the forests of present-day Minnesota and Wisconsin (the name "Minnesota" actually comes from their language, meaning "cloudy water"). In about the 1600s they were pushed out into the prairies by the Cree.
    35
  1658. Only in new York will you walk around in a Spider-Man costume and not seem crazy
    35
  1659. More peak EHC episodes, this series is definitely one of my favs
    35
  1660. Why isn't Eleanor in Robin Hood stories??? She could recruit the Merry Men as agents against John, maybe even using Maid Marian as a spy to ensure they carry out her wishes, and then Eleanor could become an enemy when the political tide turns and there would be drama and romance and adventure and it would be so cool!
    35
  1661. This and US labor history is something we should really spotlight more and more.
    35
  1662. Saved on my Dungeons and Dragons playlist, looking forward to using this for my next time we are visiting an exotic village, an ancient temple or in a dangerous forest.
    35
  1663. Very excited for this series, it's always fascinating to see how geologic and climatic processes interact and influence human history.
    35
  1664. I've heard people talking about traveling through the airlines even into the 70s where they'd applaud when they'd land. Getting air travel to even as safe as it is today took decades.
    35
  1665. I'm so glad to see Dutch history on this channel! Also, bonuspoints for the extremely meta Necrons reference!
    35
  1666. This video made me tear up. It was insanely good! :D
    35
  1667. Love the work you guys have been doing. Genuinely helps people to understand the past and the world we live in
    35
  1668. Extra History is the Highlight of my week! :_ExtraEmojiHeart::_ExtraEmojiShiny:
    35
  1669. That song about three daughters was amazing 😂😅
    34
  1670. He clearly got the diamond sword in creative mode🤦‍♂️
    34
  1671. My heart just exploded with joy when I heard that the easter rising is coming up. Slainte from Ireland 🇮🇪
    34
  1672. To be fair on the issue of colors, red is basically shorthand for "antagonist" (and blue for "protagonist").
    34
  1673. Love the beer flood. There was a pretty big molasses one too!
    34
  1674. Adjusted for inflation, $5 would be about $155 a day
    34
  1675. I’m attempting a different sort of Tudor Novel and Eleanor of Aquitaine is one of the inspirations and role models I’ll be drawing most heavily on, so I’m really excited to see you cover her!
    34
  1676. I see Extra History, I click Extra History
    34
  1677. As a Haitian-American, thank you for this series.
    34
  1678. A video filled with humor and deep philosophical questions about mankind...wonderful
    34
  1679. 8:20 and this is why unionising is so important, kids.
    34
  1680. I've always loved Eleanor of Aquitaine, based largely on reading A Proud Taste for Scarlet and Miniver by E.L. Koenigsburg as a child and on the fact that she is a minor character in my favorite Robin Hood movie (Disney's The Story of Robin Hood and His Merrie Men) and is a total badass. Very excited for this series!
    34
  1681. I'd like to thank EH for doing this series. I as an American think despite not being directly responsible for what our predecessors did, we still owe it to the people whose land we stole to understand this grim part of our history, and just do better.
    34
  1682. I’ve been a huge fan of Extra History (and Extra Credits and Extra Mythology and Extra Sci-Fi and So You Haven’t Read) since 2017! Great work, guys!!!
    34
  1683. WHY I AM I HYPED FOR AN ASHOKA VIDEOO???
    34
  1684. You've just done an incredible job at predicting what the next few episodes are about. :D
    34
  1685. I really like the wooden clog-like sounds 😎
    34
  1686. The Pazzi Conspiracy truly feels like a Shakespearean tragedy brought to life—betrayal, ambition, and high stakes! Can't wait to see how you unravel this fascinating piece of Renaissance history. 🔥👏
    33
  1687. How... How do you know that our king is secretly Santa Claus? O__O
    33
  1688. Love these episodes. Been interested to know more about Fredrick since he was mentioned in the Catherine the Great series. Wonderful job guys! Thank you!
    33
  1689. YEAH!!! I love mythology and learning it through you guys is going to be sweet!!! THANKS A LOT!! And thanks to the GoW guys for sponsoring Norse mythology! It’s one of the coolest ones, and shows up so much in entertainment nowadays, yet it’s never fairly explained!
    33
  1690. YES! BEEN WISHING FOR THIS FOR SO LONG! 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
    33
  1691. I will state that your channel has become of my top favorites on YouTube, each time I finish one, I go looking for another. Each is easy to follow, and often makes me want to look up the more complex official stuff out there. 😁😁😁
    33
  1692. This Lies section is such a perfect way to cap off a saga! Love it! 🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️
    33
  1693. November November the Fifth of November, the Gunpowder Treason and Plot! I Know of No Reason Why The Gunpowder Treason and Plot Should Ever Be Forgot!
    32
  1694. Maybe my favourite video so far, awesome job! Props to the EH crew
    32
  1695. For this beast we require the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch!
    32
  1696. I'm still watching the intro but I'm getting Journey To The West vibes and I'm getting excited!
    32
  1697. I can’t believe you guys are making a series on this thank you
    32
  1698. You guys's videos are so good, I always watch the newest one.
    32
  1699. 3:54 - wishing I had skipped ahead now 😆
    32
  1700. Sounds like an interesting read. Something I can recommend is the Belgariad saga (and the sequel the Maloreon saga) by David Eddings and his wife. Basically take some stereotypical characters and fantasy countries and still make an interesting and intriguing story out of it. And some of the banter between the characters is legendary.
    32
  1701. I learned about Italian unification doing my A-levels at school and Giuseppe Garibaldi , good times
    32
  1702. Rob's tangent and tier list on Indiana Jones is probably my favorite part of this video, if I'm being honest. :)
    32
  1703. Double combo episode!! Let's go!!
    32
  1704. Seeing Cthulhu with some beer makes me smile. Absolutely looking forward to more videos in this series.
    32
  1705. Only EC can make you laugh at a jump scare. The ending left me in tears.
    32
  1706. I had long known sitting bull to be a bad ass, but this shows that he was a bad ass from a very early age
    32
  1707. Another awesome intro! Is this for all complete series?!?! Im so hyped!
    32
  1708. THIS IS SO GODAMN CUTE MY HEART IS MELTING
    32
  1709. Thank you for talking about Garibaldi! As you will probably mention, during the last part of his life he retired to the island of Caprera in northern Sardinia. I was born in La Maddalena, the island right next to Caprera, and my grandpa recently told me about the time he met Giuseppe Garibaldi's daughter Clelia Garibaldi visiting the family's house (which is now a museum). I'm sure you will do a great job at giving people the most important pieces of information regarding his life and contributions and inspiring people to learn more about it and about the unification of Italy. P.S. It's Giuseppe (similar to -ay), though, not Giuseppi!
    32
  1710. As a Swede living in the USA it’s good to see some of our culture represented. 🇸🇪
    31
  1711. I cried a bit at the end, this was a wonderful series. Thank you guys for all your hard work!
    31
  1712. These next series all sound AWESOME!!! The MPS, a Revolution, AND IBN BATTUTA!? What’s next, the Cataline Conspiracy???
    31
  1713. As a veteran, the way you described the death march at the end just made me think “so the army hasn’t changed at all then”
    31
  1714. My great grandfather was a worker at the plant and wounded at the event known as the battle of the overpass described here 6:10 Thanks for making this video Extra History about one of the most influential, innovative, ignorant and infamous men in US history whose name
    31
  1715. Love the channel! Keep up the great work! Everyone does a kick ass job. Thanx.
    31
  1716. Thank you so much for creating a new series about the Little Ice Age! I been looking for more information that is found on videos for my Environmental History class from university. My professor and classmates would love watching this series so much.
    31
  1717. Have to agree with the "Using Professional Wrestling to Teach History" argument. If American education had used this tactic when I was a young adult, American Adult Males nowadays would be among the most historically educated people in the entire universe (every boy I knew in Middle School, including myself, was nose-deep in WWF/WCW Wrestling back in the day)!
    31
  1718. Dodo is surrounded by fire " This is fine"😊 Perfect thumpnail 😂😂😂😂😂😂
    31
  1719. Mercy got nerfed again. Ana is now the best healer
    31
  1720. Not sleeping around per se, living her life as she wanted. Which happened to include sleeping around quite a lot, but that's her decision. Like freedom, self-determination, independence, and all that stuff.
    31
  1721. Thank you for telling stories and educating us. :)
    31
  1722. 9:39 When Gregory died, the Cardinals actually did pretty easily choose a new pope, Celestine IV. The election only took a month. The problem is Celestine promptly died 17 days later. After which it took them a year and a half to elect Innocent IV.
    31
  1723. I've never awaited one of these episodes as eagerly as this one. Here's to Part 3.
    31
  1724. Always look forward to your videos! This series has been amazing 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
    31
  1725. I have to say, using flying/bird type Pokémon for Frederick II's love of avian studies is both funny and a nice touch. Keep up the good work, EH Team!
    31
  1726. You're right to point out that a "judge" in the Old Testament is not the same as a courtroom official like it would be in modern days. I know saying they were basically kings was an oversimplification for time, but I thought I'd share a bit more information on that. As I understand it, judges could not raise taxes, conscript laborers, or seize property. They led armies, but all the instances I recall seem to be volunteer armies. I'm guessing people joined the fight, brought their own supplies, and plundered to get their pay if there was any pay to be had. (1 Samuel 8 indicates that a king had a number of powers not common in Israel, and I can't remember a judge ever doing any of these things. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Samuel+8&version=NIV ) Judgeship was also not hereditary. The Bible records that there would be no judge, Israel would get itself into trouble, God would raise up a judge to deliver them, and then the judge would die and the cycle would repeat itself. It was not a permanent institution and certainly not passed down from father to son. Judges also seem to be an eclectic mix of people. They're not usually particularly wise or devout or competent or militarily powerful. They're not always male. The only common factor seems to be that they're chosen by God for a specific purpose. Kings are either the heir to the previous king or else seized power or proved their worth. But that doesn't seem to be the case for judges.
    31
  1727. Oh the irony of how some people today don't yet realize that our current climate change catastrophe will make the Little Ice Age look like a summer picnic...
    31
  1728. A 40 minute extra history episode 😍
    31
  1729. I think the sarcasm flew over a bit there, he was trying to make a sardonic analogy XD
    31
  1730. Pure Makoto energy
    31
  1731. If you ever visit germany and venture around berlin I highly recommend visiting potsdam and all the beautiful remnants we have of Friedrich dem Großen. There are wonderful roman inspired gardens, spires, columns, victory arches and residences you can visit. Especially schloss sanssouci, it is a "small" summer residence with beautiful gardens. He was buried there together with his beloved dogs rather than the traditional burial places. He is also responsible for introducing the potato to germany and the specific story is almost identical to the one told in france about the same plant.
    30
  1732. I love this history channel
    30
  1733. This is a very difficult topic, yet it's important to delve into the depths of depravity humanity has, and can still more deeply, reach. I appreciate your making of this series, and I hope YouTube doesn't censor this video or any going forward. Knowing history in context is power.
    30
  1734. The image of Portugal and The Dutch Republic as mice wielding needles for spears will stay with me forever😂😂😂
    30
  1735. Best part of the lies? The FFXI music <3 oh the feels
    30
  1736. You either die a Hero, or live long enough to become a Villain...
    30
  1737. He also added that if you dont stop stealing his accounts, he will create another scheme to take your money
    30
  1738. I've heard interesting things about the Haitian Revolution. I can't wait
    30
  1739. It's crazy how far this country will go to not take care of its people. All that money thrown around to kill workers who just wanted better working conditions and a paycheck for once. It ain't much better in the present day either.
    30
  1740. Your page is about to become soooooo important now, even colonial williamsburg has already bowed down to Project 2025 and their idea of a purified American history where nothing bad really happened there
    30
  1741. LOVE these lies section! Always serve as a great epilogue to an amazing series ❤❤❤❤❤
    30
  1742. Cristianity did a disservice to poor Morgan laFey... They twisted her role in the arturian legends so much that she ended the villain of this story for the sin of being a powerfull woman and a fairy queen...
    30
  1743. Between this and the Christmas Truce, y’all tell us about all the coolest Christmas stories!
    30
  1744. EH is definitely My favorite channel
    30
  1745. Seriously though, the sheer balls and reflexes on that kid to be running around the walls of a minor fortification, waiving any chance to be spared by actively firing on the enemy, and tracking the entire space outside his cover for arrows to be able to deflect them in time... just dang.
    29
  1746. Extra Credits, as a Black fan I really love that you’re covering these, but also speaking as a a Black fan, there’s more to us than just our trauma. We deserve more spotlight on stories that don’t center Black trauma. Every video you do on Black history shouldn’t always center our tragedies and while that’s not all of your videos, it is a lot. I wanna celebrate being Black without constantly being reminded of Black trauma. Keep up the great work. 🖤
    29
  1747. I have been following along with this series since the beginning, and I legit wake up EVERY day looking forward to the next video you guys post. This series was absolutely fantastic, hats off to everyone who put in their efforts on these videos 🎉
    29
  1748. I couldn't help but notice the correlation of "claim nature for civilization" And the Dune stuff behind you.
    29
  1749. I started to write a brief reply and got carried away with myself. Sorry that it's a little on the long side, but yeah, there it is =) You're right that libertarianism (whether from the left or the right) does not support fascism. It's worth pointing out, however, that right libertarianism, in its support of capitalism, does allow fascism the possibility of existing. Right libertarianism, in the form of unquestioning faith in the Free Market, allows fascism to thrive, since fascism is an outgrowth of the capitalism seen in the real world. Ie, "hands off" capitalism has never existed; the state, as it developed in the 18th century, was integral to the industrial revolutions that allowed the capitalist/investor class to thrive (see 'Empire of Guns' for a good rundown of this thesis within the context of the British Empire). Support for capitalism, therefore, allows fascism, even if it does not support/condone it, because fascism co-opts the mechanisms of capital and harnesses them to ethnonationalists ends. Hence the alliance in the 1930s between German business interests and the Nazis - the businessmen wanted the profits that government contracts would provide, and the Nazis needed the arms produced by these private institutions. Fascism and business, therefore, are quite symbiotic in that way. And since state supported capitalism seems prone to monopoly, you're always going to get business magnates ready to profit off an aggressive state enterprise (like conquering Europe). Left libertarianism, which is what people outside America mean when they reference libertarians, claim that it is capitalism itself (which, remember, is supported by the state and requires forced labor of some sort to provide profits - whether actual slaves, wage slavery like what we see in Amazon fulfillment centers, 3rd world sweat shops, or the Foxconn factory that makes Apple products) is the current means by which most people are kept unfree. It seeks, therefore, the abolition of private property and the democratic control of the means of production (factories, resources, etc) so as to allow people to live uncoerced by bosses, landlords, or unaccountable bureaucrats. Both forms of libertarianism seek freedom; it's just one looks to market competition and the other to democratic collective action. Heinlein loathed socialism mostly as a response to the USSR, which he rightly saw as tyrannical, since it basically replicated the state-capitalism seen in England, France, or America, just with more central planning involved. Heinlein, erroneously, equated this state mandated (and state defined) socialism/communism with all socialist thought and philosophy, and, as they say, ended up throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
    29
  1750. I love the fact there is a Warhammer 40k figure in the peoples little museum! 7:06
    29
  1751. I've never heard of the little ice age before. Great content, as always!
    29
  1752. As an American, we never learned about this in school. Very interesting to learn about now. Always love watching as i learn so much that I never would have before
    29
  1753. Well, I knew most of this, there were some things I did not know. Thank you for sharing this. It’s very important for Americans, especially those who were never taught this. In the American south for many years, it was likely you MIGHT only hear his name and harpers ferry and not much else..
    29
  1754. Extra Credits: I’ve seen your search history! Me, who just deleted my search history: I am four parallel universes ahead of you Anyways, great video once again, and I can’t wait for the last episode!
    28
  1755. I love your guys series please keep posting
    28
  1756. Bro imagine being one of the people on the train and constantly thinking about how you're stuck on a train with a murderer
    28
  1757. Everyone playing VTM was a very pleasant surprise!
    28
  1758. It's the myth that scared me the most when I was a child.
    28
  1759. Whew, that was a heavy burden. Thank you.
    28
  1760. Even if I'm not an American, Native American History is always a very welcoming story for me. Please have more on this EC!!
    28
  1761. In hindsight, it's odd that the month of October would feature an EH series with "Easter" of all things in its name 😅
    28
  1762. Get Zoey on a war elephant!
    28
  1763. Wait, there weren't suppose to be any zombies? I might have taken my book from the wrong row... 🤣
    28
  1764. We at The Ledge Theatre loves literally everything about this channel. Thank you everyone for all of this. (And personal shoutout to R. Kevin Garcia Doyle).
    28
  1765. Hands up if you want to see more of Matt's character. I NEED more of this in my life.
    28
  1766. a new part this quick? nice! also LOVE the artstyle
    28
  1767. Love how Fredric Douglas’s hair is drawn
    28
  1768. Your storytelling skills are absolutely on-point with that opening naval battle, Matt 😊
    28
  1769. now thats an episode i want to see
    28
  1770. You guys are the Best! The art, charm and narration are second to none! Love your channel! Hearth please ❤❤❤❤❤
    28
  1771. It’s nice to see EH’s classic art back for a big series again!
    28
  1772. I think you could also read Enkidu fighting Gilgamesh as... these wild forces, these bad forces, are still here in our civilization. In the wilderness they are wolves and lions, but in our cities they are the power-hungry, the terrible ruler. The wild ones do not simply go away within the walls.
    28
  1773. For a split second, only the title had loaded in and I thought Extra History was doing a Star Wars episode. 😅
    28
  1774. It's a great fun to listen to the history of beer, booze and such while consuming these. Thanks!
    27
  1775. Now THIS is what I call one of the greatest openings to an Extra History video! Love it! Also, happy belated birthday to me.
    27
  1776. Yeah, Hancock smuggled his goods. Calling him a business man who imported his goods is incredibly generous.
    27
  1777. Just came back from a family farm outside detroit and saw the ford plant and theme park in a whole new light. Great channel and accurate story telling. Thanks extra history homies!
    27
  1778. Happy holidays to the entire Extra Credit family. Thank you for improving my life one video at a time. ❤
    27
  1779. A very happy holidays to all!
    27
  1780. I don't know that I've ever heard of the USS Panay before. I'm enjoying the focus on Asia and the Japanese doings over there in this episode. It's a subject I could sure stand to learn more about. Thank you for another excellent episode! Merry Christmas out there everybody! ✝️🎄
    27
  1781. Sounding a bit like a Dalek there. "Christians are Superior. Excommunicate! Excommunicate!"
    27
  1782. See the title of next episode: "Do You Want to Live Forever?" What a coincidence: I've watched the first Highlander movie yesterday.
    27
  1783. I've always wondered what caused and happened in the Tulip Mania. Glad to know what happened! Could you guys to a series on the Risorgimento (Italian unification)? It would make sense, as you've already done Germany.
    27
  1784. Bros like Admiral Yi with the amount of set back orders set on him
    27
  1785. Someone dear to me passed from cancer a month ago. as a disease so unique with history from ancient times to the high end of technology today, a series (or a mini) about it and the history of the pursuit for a cure would be a. Very interesting and for me personally important. I know that I am a subscriber here and not on patreon, but I guess suggesting can't hurt, right?
    27
  1786. Right in the middle of March Madness, of which the University of Kansas is a consistent major player in. Lovin this.
    27
  1787. 2 EH videos in just a days? What kind of early Christmas is this?!
    27
  1788. Ofcourse beeing unsure is better than noing nothing at all (not to mension that we can never truly be sure about anything), Love your videos im planning on studying history because of your and other channels videos (Thanks for sparking my interest)
    27
  1789. CONGRATS ON 4 M SUBSCRIBERS! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
    27
  1790. This story sounds oddly familiar... are these the real-world events that inspired the legend of Robin Hood? 🏹
    27
  1791. This seems eerily well timed with the Crypto crash.
    27
  1792. I love your drawings and the little people are so cute! Keep making these epic history vids.
    27
  1793. I hope the way certain beers have gone international through colonialism comes up in the next episode. Tsingtao is probably the biggest beer in China, coming from the small German colony in China before WW1, and there's a fascinating history behind ownership of Bintang, the main beer in Indonesia, after the Heineken breweries were nationalised after Indonesia won independence.
    27
  1794. I for one am now just going to assume that any big structure was built by Trajan. Aqueducts? Trajan. The empire state building? Trajan. Lincoln cathedral? Trajan. Pyramids? Trajan.
    26
  1795. Crazy that this man isn’t a household name

  1796. As an author of science fiction, I find that this episode actually revealed aspects of my own writing that I hadn't given much thought to while I was writing. It's not that I wasn't aware of the tropes I was using, it's more that those tropes were so ingrained in my concept of narrative flow itself that I never stopped to really examine them. In retrospect, I can see those aspects in my stories clearly, even though I wasn't actively trying to include them. It speaks volumes to the influence of Frankenstein that the tropes it gave new life to have become so second-nature to writers.
    26
  1797. I did hear about them actually collecting ancient artifacts. But I didn't think the Thule Society was a real thing. I thought it was just a Hellboy reference 😅.
    26
  1798. History idea: The Boxer Rebellion
    26
  1799. I suspect it's going to show up in the lies episode, but something that may be relevant to what people are picturing when they hear Frederick had a "harem" is that "harem" doesn't mean the same thing in the Islamic world as it does in the modern colloquial. In Muslim households, a "harem" is a section of the house reserved exclusively for women, it doesn't necessarily denote having multiple wives or concubines. While he may have had lovers on the side, which wasn't uncommon for rulers of the day, that likely wouldn't be the part the diplomat would've considered relevant in regards to finding common cultural ground.

  1800. Thank you for making a episode on this I’ve been waiting for a video that goes more in detail about this
    26
  1801. I'm already excited by what I've seen and hoping you give Virgil some more of the spotlight than takes on the story have usually given him. Compared to his younger brother he was the more experienced lawman and had also served in the civil war for the Union. I'm hoping someday you could do an entire series on reconstruction and just how important it was in shaping the trajectory of US history.
    26
  1802. What a fascinating series! Great work guys! ❤
    26
  1803. Absolutely amazing! Love the work you do to black history in America
    26
  1804. ICYMI, they just had a 3-part series of Shorts about Fordlandia
    26
  1805. I once again have enjoyed watching this episode of this fascinating series. Please keep up the great work!
    26
  1806. A triumph. I haven't even watched it all yet. Do more of this specifically.
    25
  1807. Finally, were getting to the other father of Italian unification, Cavour. Piedmont has become first Italian industrial revoluution hub, and his savvy diplomacy helped get invaluable French aid. BTW, I hope you will get a mention of the origins of the Red Cross in next episode, because French-Austrian battle that spawned the idea for that organisation is just around the corner of the timeline!
    25
  1808. 11:12 bro, what's goin' on with Zoey? You might want to get her checked out...
    25
  1809. “What wickedness lurks in the heart of this man? The Foreshadow Knows!” “The Tree of History bears bitter fruit!” A+ cult movie reference.
    25
  1810. That's MY American hero
    25
  1811. Frederick's reign feels like a 4x game
    25
  1812. @7:30 Vulcan salute witnessed

  1813. Can't WAIT for the rest of this series!!
    25
  1814. Yall tried to go hard with the art for this one and i appreciate that
    25
  1815. Today we have a special interview between James and Suda51 (The Silver Case; Let It Die) about dreaming big... and making it happen! Play Suda51's debut game (now in English!), The Silver Case: http://store.steampowered.com/app/476650/

  1816. I got the nebula add when I clicked on the video and was confused for a moment till I realized it was an add
    24
  1817. Yes! More awesome videos! And on Napoleon no less! You guys rock!
    24

  1821. Great work as always! You guys are the BEST history teachers!😊😊😊❤❤❤
    24
  1822. Watched this with a Miller lite (Pilsner) in my hand. Finally understand what that means. Excellent series guys!
    24
  1823. I always hate wen I get a skull on a stick instead of a match.
    24
  1824. Out of all the artists that EC and EH employ, Nick DeWitt (the one who drew for this series) has to be favorite. There is a certain realism he brings that adds extra detail to these drawings.
    24
  1825. Thanks for inspiring my love for history! (Note: great animation!)
    24
  1826. I disagree, you can find a dozen videos on big subjects, these are less talked about subjects
    24
  1827. Damn my man breaking the pope like some kind of medieval Undertaker
    24
  1828. Didn't expect this, super happy yall did it.
    24
  1829. 14:01 Absolutely love the Dodge Ball reference.
    24
  1830. Patreon for Extra Mythology? SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!
    24
  1831.  @extrahistory  I'm sure the script look wonderful with reminders about wuthering vs withering (doesnt help that I and U are next to eachother in qwerty)
    23
  1832. Anything about Egypt needs a Dio reference! Change my mind...
    23
  1833. Justice and Vengence, how thin the lines be, when you're the one who is impacted by violent tragedy.
    23
  1834. I love Extra History!! :_ExtraEmojiShiny::_ExtraEmojiHeart:
    23
  1835. The art of this channel really get better through years，such as depicting typical Japanese destroyers instead of random destroyers.
    23
  1836. And here I thought NFTs are a new phenomenon. Thanks for the history lesson guys 🙂👍. I'm always excited to see what new stuff from history I'll learn.
    23
  1837. Good tunes to grow tulips to.
    23
  1838. These extra videos are always so imformative! Thanks guys, keep it up!
    23
  1839. Aye I love the Siege of Vienna series, lovely to see this.
    23
  1840. Earth benders vs water benders
    23
  1841. First I guess?
    23
  1842. 15:00 Ah first time in a while I've thought about Nebula. I remembered I got a 1-2 year subscription for like $10 or something a while back. That was a pleasant surprise not having to wait 2 weeks haha. I do wish we could break YouTube's monopoly.
    23
  1843. As an Italian, thank you for covering this topic!
    23
  1844. Well, I certainly expected some shuriman-like sun-disks in his new temples^^
    23
  1845. My favorite Internet show is back! :_ExtraEmojiShiny::_ExtraEmojiHeart:
    23
  1846. thank you for all the history topics you teach
    23
  1847. I am SO freaking excited for this one! Sitting Bull has always been one of my favorites, ever since we read "A Boy Named Slow" in fifth grade.
    23
  1848. Extra history is cooking🔥🔥🔥🔥
    23
  1849. Personally I think this "jumpscare" at 7:37 was a bit too exaggerated. (poor thing, thinking of her at that stake brings to mind the "curse" made by the last Templar grand master Jacques de Molay, he said: "Those who have unjustly condemned us will very soon be summoned before the divine Tribunal", turned to Pope Clement V who died about a month later and to Philip IV the Fair, 8 months from that terrible day, due to a hunting accident, he was responsible for the annihilation of the Order.)
    23
  1850. Science itself is like a great drama. Full of ups and downs. Never thought I’d get teary eyed over science
    23
  1851. The sand man is one of my favorite books
    23
  1852. I absolutely love every episode of history you and you team produce, you all should be very proud of your selfs. It’s always very entertaining and very informative. I can’t wait for the next one
    22
  1853. probably one of the best ending songs extra history has ever made
    22
  1854. OMG, yes! It never would have occurred to me, but Dutch Tulips totally were the original NFTs.
    22
  1855. These midweek videos are amazing! Happy holidays guys!!❤️❤️❤️❤️🎄🎄🎄🎄
    22
  1856. Honestly I don't mind any map mistakes unless it is obvious to people not in the know (edit (ex: something anyone would see is off)) You guys do a great job working within many different constraints.
    22
  1857. You cannot even begin to understand how happy I am to see a serie about Aliénord of Aquitaine, a huge thank you to the team from an Aquitanian men
    22
  1858. ..hearing this and knowing the episodes makes me feel a very fitting name could have been escalation aswell..yet, escalation fits too many things in history
    22
  1859. I love your videos I look forward to watching you
    22
  1860. Not sure why you would act all surprised when one of the biggest topics on the channel tend to be inclusivity and accessibility. Seems like a you problem.
    22
  1861. You're amazing guys! Always looking forward to your videos 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
    22
  1862. I LOVE this format! 😍 It's like having a movie/doc
    22
  1863. YESSSS❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ IVE BEEN WAITING FOR YALL TO TALK ABOUT NATIVE AMERICAN HISTORY LESSSS GOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
    22
  1864. It was believed the urban legend was based on a queen mary who was essentially a sadist who bathed in the blood or her servant girls Idk if you guys would be interested but a lot of popular urban legends have ties to real world stuff mostly true crime and it would be cool to see you guys do a series on each well known urban legend and the true history behind them Examples of some intriguing urban legends with interesting origins are: the hook man: multiple origins from the red scare to the Texarkana moonlight murders the babysitter (when a stranger calls): true crime case of a murdered teen (victim of a potential serial killer) tainted halloween candy: serial killer, filicide, and the satanic panic (another history topic that you guys should cover) Cropsey: true crime case that has a interesting update
    22
  1865. Glory, glory, Halleluja
    22
  1866. You guys always make My days better! You're the Best!😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
    22
  1867. Lawd I'm already getting PTSD from my performance in our high school rendition of this play. 😮‍💨
    22
  1868. Great time as always! Learning new mythological things with you guys is awesome!😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤
    22
  1869. I love this small little series.
    22
  1870. This is great, I just explained to my parents that Tulip Mania was always referenced, but I never actually had a class or studied it, and would be interested in knowing the details, JUST as you said the story wasn't true. Can't wait for the other episodes =)
    22
  1871. Love your content guys! You always make My day 😊😊😊❤❤❤
    22
  1872. Just realized that the local brewery in my home town is named after the goddess of fermentation. This is officially a rabbit hole
    22
  1873. AMAZING video as always! And man Set really was a one trick pony wasn't he? And i personally think his head resembled an aardvark combined with a hyena. Keep this series going guys! Your'e all incredible! :eyes-pink-heart-shape::eyes-pink-heart-shape::eyes-pink-heart-shape::trophy-yellow-smiling::trophy-yellow-smiling::trophy-yellow-smiling::trophy-yellow-smiling:
    22
  1874. Problem, that picture of the armor has a trapdoor rifle next to it not a revolving rifle. http://www.ironoutlaw.com/weapons/ Yep that is a Betty Snyder-Enfield. Kelly did use colt Revolvers,[E: and] revolving rifles. The repeating rifle that was used was the Spencer, repeating carbine [E: and the colt revolving rifle as well]. Edit: Seems the revolving colts have been lost to time but they were used
    21
  1875. I have binge watched the entire Extra History playlist. I have never had an interest in history before this. Thanks for making it a good story. Suddenly I care a lot about history!
    21
  1876. Thanks For teaching us with these amazing videos! Love your work 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
    21
  1877. It is interesting to note that what the angel said to Samson’s mother differs from what Samson’s mother told his father. The angel told the mother ‘he was to be a nazarite from the day of his birth to begin to deliver Israelites from the hands of the Philistines’. She changes it when she tells her husband to ‘he shall be Nazarite from the day of his birth till the day of his death’ She removed Samson’s purpose, the reason for the rules(The Nazirite Vow) But kept the rules giving him a futile life with no purpose. Everything he does against the Philistines he does for himself not God. His last act of pulling down the pilar’s was to ‘ take vengeance on the Philistines for my two eyes’ that they had gouged out. Shows that he never understood or at the very least never accepted his purpose, and his life was miserable despite his efforts to fulfill it.
    21
  1878. I am on a super historic kick these days! Medieval Popes, the Renaissance, and now Frederick II! 😎
    21
  1879. "I rolled a natural 1 on my character's willpower to give away part of his treasure to the poor. 'Robin Hood? Bah Humbug!'" -A player at D&D game on Christmas somewhere
    21
  1880. This was so awesome! Kinda wish there was a final episode on the craft beer revolution that started in the late 70s, but that might be too recent for you all; anyways really enjoyed these episodes!
    21
  1881. Just a quick note on the use of the lever action Henry Rifle in this video (which looks pretty good by the way, good job Nick) Technically, you probably shouldn’t show US troops using them at this time, I think the cavalry was still using some variety of Spencer carbine at this point, but that’s a really minor detail and this isn’t a series about the US cavalry. What I think is more interesting is that, by the time of the Battle of Greasy Grass/Little Bighorn, the US was issuing single shot rifles, but the Indigenous peoples had a couple hundred repeating rifles of various models kicking around, Henries included. They also had some muzzleloaders, so in aggregate I don’t know how much of a difference the repeaters made, but it’s a cool little detail that I think helps to deconstruct notions of “primitive” Indigenous peoples, taking a technological step forward that the US Army was unwilling to because of the perceived logistical challenge of supplying enough ammunition to keep repeaters running.
    21
  1882. This is out quite early, and I am very pleased.
    21
  1883. Time for Five Saturdays with Freddy!
    21
  1884. Thank you for uploading!!
    21
  1885. Though I do have to admit the one wrestling segment was also very good.
    21
  1886. The thumbnail looked like a laser from afar, I was like: "Wait, historical laser???"
    21
  1887. Love your content guys! You're the Best!😊😊😊❤❤❤
    21
  1888. Minor mistake: the map at 2:15 shows a gap between Africa and the Middle East, but I don't think the Suez Canal had been built yet. This stuck out, because that scene was about the Portuguese having to sail around Africa to get to India, and I was all "<pause> wait, but why didn't they go the short way... Oh."
    21
  1889. Army bad
    21
  1890. I absolutely love the new style in the backgrounds of the videos and thumbnails it really brings together the world of the story you are telling!
    21
  1891. So ... Voyage to Arcturus = Homestuck?
    21
  1892. Thanks for answering my question, although I realized after writing it that this series was going to awnser that, this does mark my second time in lies. (Third if you count the HRE one)
    21
  1893. Do a Extra Pre-History series, where you talk about Earth's History like the dinosaurs.
    21
  1894. She married and she divorce, back and forth back and forth, over and over again until she get REGET of this. WOW! It's kinda amazing to see how this works 😲 Plus: ALI'S A GREAT ARTIST 😊
    21
  1895. Giving Maria's alliance the Spider villains meme faces was a great touch!
    21
  1896. You guys always make My saturdays better With these! Thanks! Hearth please ❤❤❤❤❤
    21
  1897. Is there a part 5 coming out? I hope so, I am totally invested in this! Thank you, Extra History team for your splendid work, I love your channel.
    21
  1898. That was an ending that sent chills down my spine. Thanks Extra History
    21
  1899. The lesson of the story is, fey be weird yo, don't mess with them if you can help it!
    21
  1900. I closed my eyes to imagine the Netherlands despite having lived there my whole life and being there at the very moment 😝
    21
  1901. Campaign vibes indeed, it felt like I'd jumped into something mid-campaign with characters already so familiar with each other and everything! Y'all are fantastic roleplayers! P.S. Zorna's so much fun, I love her :D
    21
  1902. Buddhism sounds really progressive but I guess it depends to what degree people adhere to the principals. Really like the idea of planting trees along roads to provide sustenance for travelers
    21
  1903. is James taking a break from these,or are Soraya and James sharing writing duties?
    20
  1904. Amazing work as always Extra History!
    20
  1905. Hope they do catcher in the rye
    20
  1906. PLEASE keep the Foreshadow as a recurring character!!! I'm not at all familiar with "The Shadow" , think I might have heard of him in reference to Fallout 4's "Silver Shroud", but I thought it was such a fantastically funny bit of self-awareness on its own that you shouldn't worry about it being a bit of a niche reference, it just stands on its own merit!
    20
  1907. Good show. Thanks for the great content guys, gals an everything inside and out of the spectrum at the extra history team. Especially you, Zoey!
    20
  1908. Why are dnd games with a Matt so good?
    20
  1909. Hello extra credits! I really enjoy your content! (Your Ethiopian history series was amazing)
    20
  1910. Medieval family politics so intriguing it's small wonder George RR Martin would make books based around this kind of thing 😅
    20
  1911. These animations are getting really good
    20
  1912. Fun fact the oldest still existing companies in Europe are all breweries.
    20
  1913. Watched this last week on Nebula. Watching again here to help it sink in, and because the story is just so enjoyable!
    20
  1914. My history teacher glossed over this literally two days ago haha, thank ya for covering it :)
    20
  1915. Thank God for those cantankerous scientists and their work. Even if I do want to give them a long timeout and tell them to play nice with our friends. Nearly 1000 likes at this moment, and no dislikes. :)
    20
  1916. Wow that is very good animation and education
    20
  1917. I'm your huckleberry
    20
  1918. In mainland, there are many roads, regions (including his birthplace) and facilities(like the Sun Yat-Sen University in Guangdong) named after him, and it's a very special honor as there is a law that roads and regions shouldn't be named after a person in general, even Mao isn't an exception while Sun and names that exist before 1949 are(there are some counties named after CCP martyrs which all get the name before 1949, and in 1980s there was an attempt to remove such names but it results in strong protest of the local people and failed at last)
    20
  1919. So that's why it sounded different from Overly Sarcastic Productions! Thanks for explaining!
    19
  1920. The youtube thumbnail goes so hard for no reason
    19
  1921. It's kinda funny timing that while this series is coming out the autoworkers of various car manifactioners are currently striking for better wages so they can even afford the cars they produce. The same mentality that Henry Ford pushed for with his workers. This will be a fun series that is also pretty topical of the times.
    19
  1922. Zoe's a psychic I always knew it! No wonder she has level 100 lockpicking!
    19
  1923. Thanks for featuring a myth from Vietnam. I appreciate you trying to pronounce the names. 👍👍👍
    19
  1924. 32:04 Wow, very interesting! I went to a Catholic grade school in Chicago, and when they would take the student body to Veterans Day mass, I remember singing Battle Hymn of the Republic with that verse in it. So , so cool to hear about the origins of the song! This series was awesome, thank you and everybody so much!
    19
  1925. This will be a fascinating series, thanks for covering it!
    19
  1926. Hopefully one day you guys go over the life of Margaret Beaufort! The Mother of Henry Tudor and how she navigated her and her son's way through the wars of the roses and eventually to the throne
    19
  1927. The production value on this series was probably one of the best.
    19
  1928. Thank you for the extra info. I wrote the scripts to this series and I really appreciate all the work you've been doing in the comments here to add depth and context. The story is so deep and interesting, and it was impossible to include everything. Thanks so much for all of your added insights!
    19
  1929. the beginning theme was coool as heck
    19
  1930. The science dive was quite interesting, be cool to do more videos on chemistry/physics effect on history
    19
  1931. Props to the artists!
    19
  1932. Finally one I've read, and I've listened to that song on repeat more than once 🤣

  1935. I love your content honestly it's very interesting and making a lot of facts from you so thank you for the amazing work
    19

    19
  1937. I was coming to say this.
    19
  1938. Aphrodite: I am the goddess of love. Hera: I am the goddess of matrimony. Athena: I am the goddess of wisdom. Ninkasi: I am the goddess of beer. Phrat boys: You had me at beer.
    19
  1939. This sword 🗡️⚔️ and king 👑 himself are legends in great Britain ❤️🔥 we know it take lot of time and dedication to make these videos So we always appreciate your hard work to make these videos.
    18
  1940. right, in many "epic killings" there is something very similar: in King Kong or godilla are examples of two "innocent monsters" who are killed for the "good of humanity"
    18
  1941. Finally a serie about italian history!
    18
  1942. Western Mass Native here, love seeing some history on my area! Keep it up you guys rock!

    18
  1948. Good on Rovio for taking the initiative and spreading important knowledge
    18
  1949. These lies sections always compliment an amazing series! Love it! You guys rock 😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
    18

  1955. I just love David's art for these more "abstract" series
    18
  1956. 0:35 O.o Okay now I'm rethinking about adopting another cat.
    18
  1957. I hope Extra History one day does a series on William Marshal, the greatest knight in England. Eleanor should have complained about him being lazy. and eating anything put in front of him when he served as a page in Aquitane..
    18
  1958. My brother is diabetic, this is a series i look forward to watching.
    18
  1959. Sitting Bull is such an inspiration. As an indigenous myself, he fills my spirit

  1973. Thank you for talking about this it is important to teach people about this.
    17
  1974. "I'm still paying off that trip to West Point for eggnog." That was a beautiful reference!
    17
  1975. Looking forward to Rome making the switch to Christianity in 3080!
    17
  1976. I love Extra Credits they make good videos that I can watch about books my school make me read. They just explain it so well!
    17
  1977. Amazing work as always guys! This series is going to ve Incredible! And im gonna be here for the whole ride! 🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️
    17
  1978. Genghis Khan: kills millions of people and gives their possessions to his soldiers Me: What's this Marxist BS?
    17
  1979. Patreon is worth the money, I can confirm
    17
  1980. 9:09 OH GOD NOT HIM!!!! NOT THE CHAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NooooooooooooooooOOOOOooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!
    17
  1981. For something that was covered for 5 seconds in Oversimplified, this is insane! Good going EH.
    17
  1982. LOVE this mythological videos! You huys are amazing 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
    17
  1983. It really is remarkable how much the story of "beer" is the story of civilization. I actually read a very interesting book called The History of the World in Six Glasses, which goes over the history of six drinks that defined human history. Beer, wine, distilled spirits, coffee, tea, and soda. It is a very fascinating perspective to take on history.
    17
  1984. Wow! You know, I have been with you guys since the early days, and I'll be honest with you, nebula wasn't ever on my mind.... But with all the stuff you're offering, heck yeah. I think imma sign.
    17
  1985. genuinely loved the wrap around of truth or dare from the beginning of the video to the end. that was cool!
    17
  1986. This was such a fun series and I learned so much. Also the music just fits perfectly
    17
  1987. Love these mid-week videos guys! You always make my day!🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤
    17
  1988. This series was AMAZING guys!
    17
  1989. She's my favorite character in civ 6!
    17
  1990. Next series you guys should do The Siege of Leningrad
    17
  1991. CHONKY HORSE
    17
  1992. Hey Extra Credits! Been a long time fan!
    16
  1993. Great song
    16
  1994. I love the range of myths that this series covers.
    16
  1995. When you were talking about the military for a second I thought Empress Wu was the inspiration for Mulan
    16
  1996. loved how you guys promoted nebula in this ep, this was the one to finally make get onto it 🙌🏽
    16
  1997. This is a masterpiece. I can not stress how amazing this video is. Zoey is an adorable little black void, I wish her a long, loving, and cat treat-filled life of plenty.
    16
  1998. You should really make compilation videos for each of your series, just fun to have a lot of history to watch
    16
  1999. Sitting Bull mentioned 🗣 They should really make a movie about my GOAT
    16
  2000. "still paying off that trip to westpoint for eggnog" That got me rolling. Well played.
    16
  2001. I want to take the time to show my appreciation for learning and to compliment you on the pronunciation of Bayreuth. You even use the slightly rolled R that is common in the area around Bayreuth. I understand that it's probably a nightmare for English speakers to pronounce. But you tried and you really nailed it.
    16
  2002. To whoever reads this, thank you🙏. For seven years now, you folks at Extra Credit have taught me that such history doesn't go away when you get out of bed, don't end up stranded horrified with each stone on the stage, my little ice age
    16
  2003. What about Georgian mythology? Georgian is also right south of the North Caucasus and Georgian used to have a lot of influence on them. And both Georgia and North Caucasus are both dealing with Russia being bad to us. I’d really love to see some Georgian myths.
    16
  2004. Loving how much care you're giving Brown's story. I've thoroughly enjoyed this whole series.
    16
  2005. Maaaan, so there are so many blanks I have in world history. Thanks again for all the stuff you do. All the major reunifications like for Italy and Germany were never covered in my background.
    16
  2006. LOVE these videos guys! Thanks! Specially Rollo the walker and Alfred the Great! You guys are the Best ❤❤❤❤❤
    16
  2007. What a QUEEN! literally and metaphorically. Thanks for another great series.
    16
  2008. Good upload as always!
    16
  2009. Whenever there's a new video, I hop over to nebula to watch the newest one, then let this one play on mute in another window so that you get the extra youtube view credit. it's not much, but i love your channel more then anything on this platform
    16
  2010. Love this video and love what you guys do but I actually have a question a lot of this video is focusing on the city life of Alexandria which I think is great don't get me wrong but I was wondering on a hypatia what are the sources that exist on her you mentioned the seven letters in the previous episode are there any other primary sources or sources that reference primary sources how well and extensively documented is her life before her murder. PS I love that were connecting the Christian schism with this one
    16
  2011. Is it a better love story than Twilight?
    16
  2012. Someone knows how to play the court
    16
  2013. I did the Bloody Mary thing and nothing happened. I have been skeptical of super natural ever since
    16
  2014. You guys turn history into a cozy world we get to explore
    16
  2015. Love these segments; As a Québécois, it's refreshing to see non partisan mention of this part of our history. I'm a history teacher and it's barely mentioned in official high school material ( I still take time to teach this part to my students ).
    16
  2016. 9:12 "Died of Spite" this is the level of petty I aspire to lol
    16
  2017. Personally this channel should have more subscribers. The amount of work and time put into it is incredible.
    16
  2018. This series is fantastic. You've already done same to Early Christianity. I hope one day you do a series on Voodoo or Orisa worship.
    16
  2019. I work at a Brewery and Liquor store in Alberta. This could easily be the biggest topic you covered.
    16
  2020. These midweek videos are amazing! Thanks guys😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
    16
  2021. 3:25 That caught me off guard. Extremely. Keep doing jokes like these
    16
  2022. Great Video! Keep up the good work! Every of your videos captivate me.
    16
  2023.  @extrahistory  already voted on 😎 that was more for other people to see
    15
  2024. I love this show! :_ExtraEmojiHeart::_ExtraEmojiShiny:
    15
  2025. 8:10 I like the Attack on Titan reference
    15
  2026. Zoe is the real star of Extra Credits, we neeeeeeeeed an episode dedicated to her again
    15
  2027. The museum spoken of in the episode is amazing. It's called greenfield village and it's adjacent to the Henry Ford museum in Dearborn.
    15
  2028. Pirates of the Caribbean reference?
    15
  2029. Yes finishing up with Frederick's masterpiece!
    15
  2030. I have never felt legit hype for youtube shows before.
    15

    15
  2032. Awesome video to watch during my lunch hour. Keep awesome content.
    15

    15
  2034. Congratulations on one billion views Mr. Rath!
    15
  2035. You're going to Brazil Extra Credits!
    15
  2036. Keep up the good work, he's a wonderful fully illustrated documentaries on history lovingly made thank you for your hard work !!!
    15
  2037. This is great, and I am a member of Nebula, so I am happy to add to your algorithm here, too!
    15
  2038. Surprised that you didn't talk about the writer of the hammer of witches. He was one weird dude.
    15
  2039. Loving the art in this series so far! Also, that letter at the beginning sounded so threatening. 😅
    15
  2040. sad the Farroupilhas didnt get mention... yet again we were independent for a decade! we had Garibaldi on our side! its one of the key elements of Brazilian-Gaucho culture! c'mon!!!!
    15
  2041. Painful history. Important history.
    15
  2042. New Extra History series! Happy weekend, everybody!
    15
  2043. Can you do an episode on Henry Hudson? I've Watched literally every single one of your videos and they're amazing!!
    15
  2044. 2:07 is how I imagine every episode is written
    15
  2045. The Christmas lights blinking in the background are such a nice touch
    15
  2046. I love this! My first exposure to Eleanor was in the movie The Lion in Winter with Kathrine Hepburn and Peter O’Toole, which saw the imagined Christmas court of Henry II. It was an amazing performance and show and since then it’s always wonderful to see any media represent one of the most interesting though little known female figures of history, either from CIV to this!
    15
  2047.  @hypotheticalaxolotl  it is not possible to make beer at 30%. Most yeast stop fermenting and become dormant at 10%. Some go to 15 or a little bit higher, but absolutely nothing can ferment to 30%. You need to distill to reach that high, and that's no longer beer.
    15
  2048. God bless a new extra history post
    15
  2049. Ohh God I was waiting for this episode to come out
    15
  2050. Thank you for this beautiful episode, as a dentist I enjoyed knowing the history of my profession
    15
  2051. You know this episode gives much more context to the 2nd episode of the Catherine the Great with Peter III offering Prussia peace and giving back all they took, which led to the coup led by Catherine that put her on the throne
    15
  2052. Ok. This is the best end credit ad read transition you guys have done so far, with all those poster, studio background that then transit to real Matt and Zoey.
    15
  2053. The animation scenes are getting so damn good
    15
  2054. Wait is this the shootout that’s recreated in Tombstone?! That’s super cool if it is. I have a pamphlet for it in my memory box.
    15
  2055. Ooh new episode I wonder what is in store for me
    15
  2056. Love a new pope related series
    15
  2057. The Emperor was here
    15
  2058. Sending good thoughts for your son. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
    15
  2059. I did not expect the Cell to Singularity sponsor considering I play that game. Neat.
    14
  2060. Perfect timing. For whatever reason in the shower this morning I couldn't remember Romeo's last name and it was killing me.
    14
  2061. Arizona history!!!
    14
  2062. Rewatching this playlist, I must say: I have nothing but respect for the Irish
    14
  2063. Love the atmosphere of the start of the episode 😊
    14
  2064. Always enjoy a extra credit video.
    14
  2065. The dates on the cups are so underrated
    14
  2066. Truly a masterpiece, and an excellent way to end this interesting series. This was quite the creative way to tell the story of the war. Keep up this great work!
    14
  2067. I've always wanted to know more about this conflict, thanks for doing it. And thanks for acknowledging the parallels to the modern Russian invasion of Ukraine. Your content as always is top notch.
    14
  2068. You guys always make my day with your videos! Thank you so much for all your hard work and dedication! We truly appreciate it! Huge fan🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤😊😊😊😊
    14
  2069. @ Yeah, haha. Frederick II was sort of a mix of Jack Sparrow and Lord Beckett. Nietzsche also called him a ‘Mephistopheles’.
    14
  2070. As much as I love the regular episodes of Extra History (and I really do love them - even when they're about something historical that I thought I had no interest in I end up enjoying them and learning something anyway), I think the LIES episodes are my favourites. I find it really interesting to see what you got wrong (and why), but also I just really like the extra context from these discussions, and tangents about different interesting historical tidbits that were left out of the main episodes for one reason or another.
    14
  2071. I want more history via wrestling! That was awesome. Loved Catherine clobbering Peter with a chair. I love that he wanted to be buried with his dogs and eventually was.
    14
  2072. I love extra history and extra mythology 👌👌🏻👌🏼👌🏽👌🏾👌🏾👌🏿
    14
  2073. Eight minutes ago... Boy I'm here early. Thanks recommendations! :3
    14
  2074. Oh I just read this in my English class! It's really good and I'm glad I got a chance to read it!
    14
  2075. Love this please do this for each of the series if you can it's easier for me to research and I'd love some extra insight the tidbits that we get in lies in the actual video for more context
    14
  2076. 11:54 thanks for spotlighting direct cash giving --- donations will go straight to Kenyan families in need as cash, no strings attached 💸
    14
  2077. I had never heard any of the darker sides of his story. Absolutely horrifying
    14
  2078. As an Egyptian whose last name is "Ramesses", thanks for telling the story of our ancestors.
    14
  2079. My GAWD! I love this episode, when Catherine threw up the douces I was absolutely sold. Great work guys
    14
  2080. Love your content guys! You always make My day ❤❤❤❤
    14
  2081. 6:55 It was Walpole!😅😅😅
    14
  2082. I really like this series! I would also love to see you make one about Otto III and Pope Sylvester II (Gebert of Aurillac). A fascinating Emperor and Pope duo.
    14
  2083. A book recomendation that i give for this subject is: 'An American Betrayal: Cherokee Patriots and the Trail of Tears'. Admittedly parts can be a bit slow but it is very worth the read.
    14
  2084. Referring to The Vampyre as “some trash about a vampire” is absolutely gonna get a shoutout in the Lies episode isn’t it lol
    14
  2085. WoD is honestly the best rpg imo. between the wide array of skills (brawl, technology, academics, occults, etc.), its pletora of non-combat focused abilities and the heavy emphesis of storybuilding in your characters, I've been in love with it ever since I started playing it. It's hard to find other players in my area unfortunately :(
    14
  2086. "I'm bad with numbers." Understandable mistake. More importantly, that camera *moves*?!
    14
  2087. Hey folks! I hope you all have an AWESOME Christmas and a wonderful New Year! ~Brianna
    14
  2088. Goodbye Jordan gonna miss you
    14
  2089. Now, this is truly interesting. I wonder, which series is next? Personal I hope it's the Khosrau series.
    14
  2090. Actually, it was not locals that told him "Tombstone". It was by a military officer stationed in FT. Huachuca by Sierra Vista AZ when applying for a mining permit..
    14
  2091. All in good time. I get the distinct impression that they've got more of a specific curriculum in mind than they did with Extra History.
    14
  2092. Any thought's about doing a video/series on Shintoism?
    14
  2093. I love that the earlier series posted on militarism in Japan provides the additional context of just how they got to the point where their foreign policy was so at the mercy of the most aggressive elements in their armed forces. The way the pieces fit together gives so much richer an understanding than the individual events on their own.
    14
  2094. Thank you for covering one of my favorite influential pieces of the media of all time. Highly recommended. Love the art of this vid btw
    14
  2095. Valeu!
    13
  2096. I'm not going spoil for people who don't know about Frederick II outside his military life e.g. government reformer (even non-nobility could get higher rank etc) patronage of arts, philosophy, attracting various immigrant and protection too raise up this art to his kingdom/nation etc. He was unique figure of the military war state countries in Europe and excellent pick of you Extra Credits, talking about his early age and raised up by his father. Fredrick didn't get his name "the Great" for non reason. Big 👍👍 for you Sincerely D. Duck
    13
  2097. Heathcliff: I will take my revenge in my elaborate multigenerational plot Count of Monte Cristo: I have a more... Direct idea
    13
  2098. This channel is warm, bright and a very gentle place. One day, it will make someone a goodly home.
    13
  2099. Girls: "Ugh I hate dealing with other girls they start so much drama!!!" Boys:
    13
  2100. Thank you for all you do
    13
  2101. I commented before the video came out
    13
  2102. Is this really a huge deal
    13
  2103. Who knew that this knowledge is what I was missing in my entire life? Thanks, EH
    13
  2104. The 6th crusade but told from the PoV of the two broadcasters from espn 8 the ocho would be amazing
    13
  2105. Soon :D
    13
  2106. Thanks for all the awesome videos, you can see all the hard work that is put into each one. Keep up the amazing job.
    13
  2107. The animation and narration are second to none! You guys always knock it out of the park! Hearth please ❤❤❤❤❤
    13
  2108. Happy Holidays Extra History! Another wonderful video as always!
    13
  2109. Bruh
    13
  2110. Of course it was those evil Europeans. Happy Holidays! I hope that everyone at EC and EM have wonderful holidays(whatever they may celebrate) Thank you for all the awesome videos, and even more so the knowledge within.
    13
  2111. Question: how often did the Epic Rap Battle of History about Fredrick the Great go through the writer's head, while writing this series?
    13
  2112. Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Foreshadow knows! Gods I love this channel! No matter what flavor of nerdy you are, they cater to you in style
    13
  2113. I like the subtle clues you put in 😉 I don't think it's a very interesting story once you know the solution: too many characters so it kinda rushes through the plot. Some other Poirot stories are better imo. The connection to the real case feels distastefull to me (i also disliked it when CSI made their cases to much plucked-from-the-headline)
    13
  2114. Last night I drove to Harper's Ferry and I thought about you There were signs on the road that warned me of stop signs The speed limit kept decreasing by ten As we entered a town about halfway there It was almost raining at the train station We put our hoods on our heads at the train station We threw rocks into the river The river underneath the train tracks And when the train came it was so big and powerful When it came into the little station I wanted to put my arms around it But the conductor looked at me funny So we had to say goodbye and leave The Monopoly board still in the backseat Took that nightmare left turn to get out of town Ran into the decreasing speed limits again
    13
  2115. Love your videos guys! Keep up the good work!🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
    13
  2116. Dont tell me this book wasn't required by your school to read 😂😂
    13
  2117. I love this channel! It'd be great if you guys could do a series on the Mexican Revolution! Pleaasseeee!
    13
  2118. 10th grader here! Loved our topic around William Shakespeare's works in school And loved doing research and work around the play, and comparing different adaptations
    13
  2119. Absolutely excited about this series
    13
  2120. Coming back to Extra History after a 2 year break lol. Good to know it’s still around.
    13
  2121. Awesome video :D
    13
  2122. His truth goes marching.
    13
  2123. It's about time for this video
    13
  2124. just read this book- it's literally one of the best books i've ever read. SO good.
    13
  2125. When’s Extra Biology?
    13
  2126. Always looking forward to your amazing content guys! This series specially has been incredible! You rock🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
    13
  2127. I just found this channel. Being informative and fun attracted me, but the narrators enthusiasm is what made me subscribe. Keep up the good job!
    13
  2128. Best episode in a while! Can't stop laughing.
    13
  2129. As a first-time DM with an upcoming 4th session, I intend to take notes
    13
  2130. Was not expecting “flirty Tiefling Druid” but I’m all for it like… usually the bard is the flirt. That’s the usual stereotype
    13
  2131. I might be a little late, but this was an amazing video Extra History! BTW, I love David's art!
    13
  2132. I love your videos extra history you guys were the ones who gave me my passion for history
    13
  2133.  @extrahistory  stop blowing your budget all on animation, at this point you'll have to do all of next year's episodes entirely with hand puppets...... Totally worth it!
    13
  2134. The first actual real American hero.
    13
  2135. The Japanese political situation can mostly be summarized with one word: Clusterf-
    13
  2136. Glad to see another episode! Great work!
    13
  2137. While I agree, I'm pretty sure Jac said that 'cause explaining the link to the Yuan dynasty would've been too complex for a lot of viewers.
    13
  2138. I mean British brought racism to India and packed it as being civilized. That lead to billion dollar cosmetic business in India Let's face it Europeans of old were mostly there to say how great they are
    13
  2139. Interesting, I think this deserves extra credits.
    13
  2140. I'm not sure what Joan's "All-Out Attack" screen would look like but I'm sure the caption behind her would be "Get Em!"
    13
  2141. 3:30 Huh, so I wasn't too far-off when I thought that the next episode (or two) will mention the Freemasons.
    13
  2142. Absolutely loved it ❤️ Still I would love if you guys could make a video about The divine comedy
    13
  2143. Let’s go new video! You guys rock :D
    13
  2144. I literally just spent my entire day watching so many shorts from this channel
    13
  2145. I live in mass and never new of this, they never taught this in school thanks!
    12
  2146. Ah... I just noticed tha the wee one is standing now... she probably has been for a while... but still. It's still super cute. Seeing how much she has grown along with the show.
    12
  2147. Okay. 'Till some time you were one of my favorite channels on YouTube and interesting content creators at all. But with Extra History, other series - and now this - you are becoming THE favorite channel of mine hands down! You are awesome, guys, honestly. You rekindled my interest in history with your Extra History (really, I even found great interest in 17-19th century history with your series about Sweden king, which never interested me at all up until now), and now you will talk about sci-fi, genre I grew up with and love endlessly. Not to mention tons of so much interesting stuff and insights about my favorite media - game industry. I'm really looking forward to the new series, keep doing your awesome work!
    12
  2148. Hey Extra History/Credits! The portuguese slave trade was so intense we have a specific name for it, " O comércio triangular", which referred to the fact of the portuguese bringing Merchants from Portugal to Africa, Slaves from Africa to Brazil, and Gold from Brazil to Portugal, forming a triangle between the three locations
    12
  2149. little dark age
    12
  2150. Extra history!
    12
  2151. I been watching since I found you all on the escapist it’s been a real treat watching all your hard work. Thanks for the edutainment and happy holidays!
    12
  2152. Brilliant video. We know it take lot of time and hard work to make these videos. Love from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰🤝🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿.
    12
  2153. Is this a series hope it is extra history amazing videos
    12
  2154. Not to nitpick you guys, just interested in starting a discussion, this video like the last touches on huge historical topics that honestly needs videos of their own because no one talks about them enough. The Boxer Rebellion, Rape of Nanking, and Chinese Civil War are super important. Honestly, Southeastern Asian history is barely taught despite the area's importance today: the Taiping Rebellion, Japanese Occupation of Korea, Bengal Famine are some other ones.
    12
  2155. Please remember to place a pumpkin spice latte in front of the mirror before invoking Bloody Mary. Despite being centuries behind on basically everything, she's surprisingly pleasant to chat with if you treat her well. Oh! I almost forgot the most important part 🤦🏼‍♀️ She's lactose intolerant, so ask for a non-dairy milk in the latte, because she'll totally merc you if you give her dairy.
    12
  2156. LOVE YOUR CONTENT! THANKS FOR THIS
    12
  2157. More graphic novels please! 😺👍
    12
  2158. Good job sound designer(s)! There was a lot of detail in this video!
    12
  2159. I need Jacob to give me career advice. I want to be the gamedev that the gamedev I am jealous of is jealous of!
    12
  2160. Love your videos guysn! you made my day!😊😊😊❤❤🎉🎉🎉
    12

    12
  2164. I love this series! Even being relatively well versed in history i hadn't really thought about just how many massively important events were influenced by the little ice age. It's fascinating.
    12
  2165. What's the coolest bloodline in VTM, and why is it the Lasombra?
    12

  2168. It has been a monumentally exciting and enjoyable experience to watch the rise of ThatBronzeGirl in the online TTRPG scene. Massive fan.
    12
  2169. 2:14 calling Occitan just a "dialect" is a huge understatement. Especially in modern times when the language and its speakers are fighting to not die out
    12
  2170. as a population of one country in Southeast Asia where Buddhism is the state religion, These videos made me interested in Buddhism and remember it better than I did in my classroom for years.

  2171. Thank you, american youtubers, for disproving the popular claim in the US that reagans "tear down this wall" speech had an impact on the fall of the wall
    12

    12
  2175. Thank you for the series. It was wonderful.
    12
  2176. I am exhausted after the gym and just got home with this queued up. I did NOT expect to feel confusion when my exhausted brain heard EH mention the city/town i live in as the first words of the video x3
    12
  2177. Epic! Love beer and extra credits equally :)
    12
  2178. This is awesome! When I saw that it was a series I was like “is there really that much to say about the tulip bubble?” And I am happy to be proved wrong
    12
  2179. I’m loving the longer videos

    12
  2185. Heh... I saw the thumbnail and I was like "wait a moment... I recognice those assets". Spending countless hours in HeroForge really burns them into your mind.
    12
  2186. Who else is watching this whilst enjoying a beer 🍺?

    11
  2202. Henry Ford, Genius turned Madman.
    11
  2203. No need to worry, Matt! I personally have been a proud Nebula subscriber since I first heard about it in either 2020 or 2021. Admittedly, it was originally to watch TierZoo's more exclusive content, but I was overjoyed to hear that you had joined the platform. Not to mention how successful Nebula has become over the years.
    11
  2204. Beautiful episode beautifully told! Amazon animation and narration on this one EC team :)
    11
  2205. Great to see this talked about on a global scale.
    11
  2206. Okay, now this is epic
    11
  2207. Another Amazing video! Keep up the great work! :)
    11
  2208. Never expected you guys to make a full-on compilation for one of your series, but this is one of my faves! Definitely going to do a well-needed rewatch with this! 😄
    11
  2209. What a Glorious ride it must had been
    11
  2210. Time for extra credits Assignments sitting the corner
    11

    11
  2212. howdy from the Patreon crowd, Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to everyone who sees this!
    11
  2213. Of course Angkor wasn't built by Romans or Greeks. It was built to copy the city of the Witch of Izalith & her Daughters of Chaos. The kingdom's rulers figured "if it was good enough for the Age of Fire, its good enough for me".
    11
  2214. Different than the usual... I love variety
    11
  2215. Great video, really love your channel. But could u guys do more video on African kingdoms and history
    11
  2216. This is useful. Please keep doing timestamps
    11
  2217. You are doing a great job. It's good to tell the history of others cultures, often forgotten ones.
    11
  2218. 2:49 Who else guessed it was Napoleon?
    11
  2219. “Babe wake up, Extra history made another video”
    11
  2220. Don't you mean Spooptober?
    11
  2221. Whether I've read the subject matter I always enjoy these videos! 😀 I love extra mythology, history and all your other videos too. I subscribed in hopes it helps bring So You Haven't Read back for another run, and just as a general thanks for your awesome content.
    11
  2222. watching the history of beer while drinking beer is quality
    11
  2223. I like the Leonardo DiCaprio movie version the best :D
    11
  2224. For anyone that's a fan of GitS 2nd Gig, this EC series (Japanese Militarism), and specifically this episode, is a huge insight on the 'May 15th incident' referenced throughout the show, and it's use and role in the story. Incredibly interesting... I knew it had some roots in history, but seeing this explained this paints the backdrop for it much more clearly...
    11
  2225. It's not a holiday season without EH videos! Thanks For this ❤️❤️❤️🎄🎄🎄🎄
    11
  2226. This is one series I'm deathly obsessed with, I'm very happy that it was this month's lucky series to get a Complete video! :)
    10
  2227. Oh, thanks a lot, man. I was alone with lights out.
    10
  2228. I think they're talking about Tolkien's significance in science fiction because of how much modern sci fi borrows elements from fantasy. If there's anyone who's influenced said fantasy, it's Tolkien.
    10
  2229. You never dissapoint! EH IS BEST CHANNEL ❤❤❤❤
    10
  2230. This is an amazing series ✵
    10
  2231. heck yeah more underrated empires!!
    10
  2232. I cannot wait for the music to become available on YouTube. This may be one of the best pieces since the Ireland series.
    10
  2233. Ayyyyyyyy I've been waiting for something like this keep up the good work extra history team and ill be sure to be a member forever :)
    10
  2234. 1:44 - Not contradicting your words, just clarifying, but Wyoming and Utah actually gave women the right to vote back in the 1870s. Although Wyoming was first, Utah was the first time women exercised that right. However, their right to vote was taken away, as the government kept pressuring the Latter-day Saints to cease polygamy. Ironically, easterners thought they were liberating women, but the women of Utah heavily protested this, wrote books, journals, met with politicians, and still did not regain their voting rights for a while.
    10
  2235. I hear garibladi could make some good biscuits 🍪
    10
  2236. your stuff has all ways been some of the best history stuff on the internet so thank you for the show ❤
    10
  2237. I heard the name earp and immediately snapped my attention to the screen, absolutely woke me up
    10
  2238. When I was a kid the story was that all lights in the home had to be off, not just the bathroom's, you did not have to say anything, and it was Satan who would appear in the bathroom mirror. I'm a French Canadian so it might be why the myth is so different, to my ear "bloody Mary" is more catchy than "Marie sanglante".
    10
  2239. Ali is such a great addition to your team. I´m glad to see more of her art in here.
    10
  2240. I used to do SCA combat. I had no idea that when the leader of our group would yell "Get 'em!" that it was a period strategy.
    10
  2241. My dad cannot listen to Matt now without thinking of Shade. The two are just combined as one now
    10
  2242. I can imagine watching the king of your country flop on the ground and start gnawing on the carpet is rather terrifying, disappointing, and occasionally a little bit comical lol. Thank you for another informative video! Stay well out there everybody, and God bless you, friends. ✝️ :)
    10
  2243. My favorite statement that sums this up. "Basically they were fucking around, and they were gonna find out"
    10
  2244. I get this book has had an impact on the Asian American narrative but honestly it’s written with a white savior perspective which is problematic but I appreciate your coverage of this book
    10
  2245. Yikes, that Flaming skull- face melting part was seriously metal.
    10
  2246. This video essentially tells the story of Temujin's life as displayed in the Secret History of the Mongols (written sometime after his death in 1227, possibly within the next few years, possibly in the 1250s). Here's a few online copies if you want to read it (some of the translations are easier to read than others.). Persian and Chinese sources (mostly written in the late thirteenth/fourteenth century) repeat most of these events and they were likely well known as part of Chinggis' legend.

  2249. New Extra history video spotted. Must watch❤
    10
  2250. Growing up in the Lakota Culture, I loved this video, and it's pretty accurate from the constant history of this culture that has been driven into our heads growing up here
    10
  2251. Amazing work as always guys! Ford rode race cars himself?! Cant believe this hasnt been covered more! Im definitely gonna be here for the whole ride! This series is fantastic! 🫡🫡🫡🫡🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️

  2258. Love your content guys! You're the Best 😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
    10
  2259. scrundler!!!!!!!
    10
  2260. Cannot wait for next weeks episode, cause oh boy does Frederick nearly get ganked, where his only reason for not dying was thanks to Peter the 3rd idolizing him so much and essentially ending the war with Prussia against what Elizabeth had wanted before her passing.
    10
  2261. Saw this and part 2 on Nebula. Sitting Bull is already amazing and we haven't even gotten to the parts of his life he is best known for. Really enjoying this
    10
  2262. Cup of JoCasta is a classical level of pun
    10
  2263. Jasmine sounds EXACTLY like Deb, as in "The Deb of night" from VtmB!
    10
  2264. Yay another upload! These are the few videos keeping my spirits up lately!
    10
  2265. I watched movie with my brother (mostly, because I like Takeshi Kitano, The Man), and it was veery scary! And then I've read the manga and I was in such shock... I'm usually not afraid of gore in media, but that! But I prefer manga version since it opened for me more interesting points that I missed in the movie. Especially I was fascinated by demontration of how fear of your friend or just fear for life changes and twists people in their own way, it's REAL scary and you just can't help but think, that these students before Battle Royale were just like us — ordinary people, but how we could be twisted in our own way. (Also, while I read the manga, I've immideately understood, where Danganronpa series of games takes inspiration for their story) Thanks EC for showing this story to everyone! It's amazing effort, tyring to push for learning some really interesting and on-the-time topics with such talent and fun!
    10
  2266. Amazing video as always guys! Love mythology! Hope you all had an amazing Christmas! 🤗🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️🎁🎁🎁🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
    10
  2267. As always, great music.
    10
  2268. I haven't read it myself but I watched a really good old six part tv series. mild spoiler Best part by far is when the main character insults another person directly to their face in a way they take as a thoughtful compliment but everyone else around definitely understood it.
    10
  2269. Nice video
    10
  2270. Just found out you guys are doing "extra plays" and I did not realize I needed this all along! 😁
    10
  2271. Unless you're educated in the language any Eastern language is hard to figure out for native English speakers. Sometimes you can't even hear the difference. I remember a friend trying to teach me how to pronounce "Ngo" correctly before giving up after 15 minutes. I couldn't hear whatever sound the G makes and kept saying "No". Unless he watches a lot of anime he'd have NO hints on how to actually pronounce it right.
    10
  2272. So glad I got here early I love your vids also great opening
    10
  2273. Thanks for the extra history :)
    10
  2274. Midweek surprise! Thanks For this Guys ❤❤❤❤❤
    10
  2275. As a professional DM I can appreciate the load off my shoulders
    10
  2276. Definitely need to do more full compilations!!
    10
  2277. Funny thing, my grandpa used to lead the Great Falls, Montana Octoberfest with a few local German families back in the day. It was such a success that it generated a good deal of money... which led to its downfall. After my grandpa died in the early '90s, the rest of the people running the thing argued about the money portion and it ended like that. ... and funnily enough, some people have been trying to revive the tradition here...
    10
  2278. Love this!!! Going to look for that Bilbo song now ahaha 🎶
    10
  2279. OMG I have been trying to find a series talking about this subject for so long! Super excited you are covering it!
    10
  2280. Awesome video also love these videos they are amazing :D
    10
  2281. Having just read ‘Red Rising’, that “making his son give him corporeal punishment for his son’s sins” felt very close!
    10
  2282. The current thing extra history is talking about, in fact I never even heard of the Frederick the great until I saw his videos, so thanks for teaching me about a infamous person that I had never heard of extra history!😊
    10
  2283. This could be more like Game of Thrones than you know. It seems George RR Martin named a character in the lore called Eleni. She is a daughter of the gods who weds a king against her parents will, who then wage a destructive conflict with their son-in-law. I had never heard this history before. But consider GRRM's love of historical parallels in his fiction; I suspect this is an intentional reference.
    10
  2284. One rule I would love to see changed, is term limits imposed on Congress. Congress already made an amendment that limited the President to just two terms, but they have no such limit. This is also one of the reasons why somethings never get done, the old blood clashing with the new blood. Old blood uses their "experience" to levy pressure on the new blood, even if it's on their own side.
    10
  2285. This is what I have always been saying!!!!!! books needs trailers, I mean how am I to know if a book is worth the time if it usually takes a hundred pages to find out. THIS IS BRILLIANT
    10
  2286. Love ❤️from Fort Belknap, home of the Aaniiih Nakoda Nation

  2288. First time i caught an extra history video this early
    9
  2289. I've been watching this channel since the last 5-6 years and I love the approach and topics you cover. I hope you cover the spanish civil war at some point.
    9
  2290. Loved the book, my teacher recommend it when I was in high school.
    9
  2291. Under a min love your work☺️ 👇
    9
  2292. For extra reading check out Garrett Oliver's "The Brewmaster's Table." The first chapter is a great look at how we discovered fermentation (in fact our first fermented beverage was likely the simplest, therefore mead but not in the viking style) Also, his analysis of styles by time period and region has yet to be outdone and he gives ideas for pairing that would make a sommelier blush. The history of humanity goes hand in hand with the zymurgic arts and I'm thrilled to see this!
    9
  2293. I guess you could say he was in de-Nile
    9
  2294. hahah! I just checked your channel and this was posted 4-5 minutes ago!? never been this early before... can't wait to watch this 💖💖
    9
  2295. Please do something for Indian History like Mauryas Gupta Empire or Ancient Indian History The Conquest of India was a pretty bad series which had very little Indian history. Show MORE INDIAN HISTORY and less Colonialism.
    9
  2296. "It's a fact, universally acknowledged" that when I see a video from Extra Credits, I click.
    9
  2297. Maybe the artist had a little too much to drink?
    9
  2298. You better make a compilation of Walpole facts someday.
    9
  2299. What you can’t leave us on a cliffhanger! Who digested the food better????
    9
  2300. Thank you for the Ground News sponsorship. I'm always worried about being too biased in the news I get. If this really is true, it's just what I've been looking for!
    9
  2301. Get em Indy, I mean Extrahistorian(s)
    9
  2302. Legend has it that every time they gain knowledge, their hair grows longer ;D
    9
  2303. Still my most favourite YouTube series
    9
  2304. You always make My day guys😊😊😊❤❤❤
    9
  2305. Timing of this couldn't be more perfect. I was just at the Napoleon museum earlier this week
    9
  2306. Ok, after watching the video, I think I know WHY I hated that book. I absolutely despised Heathcliff, like hated him beyond hatred. He did messed up things, and I felt like the book wasnt acknowledging that they were messed up. That being said, I was an early teen when reading it, and I didnt realize the point of the book kinda was the fact he does messed up things. As in, with the situation he was in, he became the man he was out of necessity. That being said, I dont think ill be adding this book to my favourites list, but for the alternative reason of it simply being a genre I'm not into. As an ace person, I've always struggled connecting to romance novels, but just because I personally don't love it, doesnt make it bad.
    9
  2307. You guys are doing history of beer next? That's cool but also makes me think about how it is not the first time you will be making something about a topic previously covered by M. Laser - a very good and underrated HistoryTuber.
    9
  2308. I subbed about 2 years ago and I didn't really pay much attention to your stuff but in the past couple of months I've really gotten into your content! Thank you for your amazing videos, they're great!
    9
  2309. Amazing video as always guys! Please consider covering the wars of the roses in the future!😊😊😊😊❤😊❤❤❤❤

  2310. woooh nowhere as early before, let's enjoy this video!
    9
  2311. PANR has tuned in.
    9
  2312. No amount of beforehand research prevents mistakes and errors, it's in the nature of science itself
    9
  2313. Yes! I have been waiting for this series since the South Sea Company! This is such an important and crucial piece of financial history that economists like myself love to discuss! So excited for the other episodes!
    9
  2314. It's interesting the number of times and various ways Rob's Hawaiian background comes up in these series. I wasn't expecting that connection right at the end.
    9
  2315. ❤❤❤ Göttern auch, dieser Video ist Fantastisch. ❤❤❤ Sehr gut für lernung über das Klima Notfall, dass wir jetzt haben. ❤❤❤ Danke Extra Geschichte. ❤❤❤

  2319. I love this series. Now I have 2 EC videos to look forward to every week!
    9
  2320. It might have been said already but, this episode is for the birds.
    9
  2321. My favorite aside from this time is the mention of pine trees exploding as the sap inside would freeze
    9
  2322. WOW this is odd. I was literally just thinking about pearl harbor and WW2, i go to check my youtube reccomendations, and you guys release this. Great job but tell zoey to cool it on the mind reading.
    9
  2323. It's sometimes strange to hear American history told in this format. The US is a very young country compared to say, France, so our history isn't always given the same sort of deep look. The whole "Americans think 100 years is a long time ago" deal.
    9
  2324. Coming full circle between Extra Sci-Fi and Extra Literature, are we?
    9
  2325. The smallpox vaccine works against smallpox and cowpow... and monkeypox. If you had the vaccine, of course.

  2329. Honestly this Story about a Botanist showing of His cool flowers to his botanist friends is so wholesome <3
    9
  2330. You left out the part about the Second Crusade when Eleanor dressed herself and her female entourage as Amazons and rode bare-breasted to Damascus. Even if not true, it is part of her legend.
    9
  2331. Always appreciate your hardwork and dedication 😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤

  2337. I’m doing history homework as I am watching this.

  2338. I love Eleonor's story ! Thanks for covering this great figure of both French and English history.

  2339. You really should make "how to" tutorials for wizards... Get them Galleons 😂

  2340. You know, the hobbit is one of my favorite stories. So I cannot thank you enough for this episode.
    9
  2341. As a long time history fan, your channel rocks! I also like your videos on literature and mythology!

  2342. The Famine of 1315 inspired the story of Hansel & Gretal.

  2344. I love your medicine related videos! Please make more of them!

  2346. I second this

  2347. This book was one of my absolute favorites. Still read it every once in a while too! Oh! I also read it after a test along with the entire “Lord of the Rings” series in less than 4 hours.

  2352. Beer, and alcoholic beverages in general, have been some of the most influential liquids, or substances for that matter, in human history, right next to water.
    9
  2353. Great series! I learned a lot about militarism in Japan! You guys are great, and keep it up!
    9
  2354. It maybe odd to say, but I would love for you guys to cover Queen Esther. I think it would be perfect for this series.
    9
  2355. PANR has tuned in.

  2357. Rob isn’t just a Warhammer 40K fan, he’s written some several 40K novels, including the Infinite and the Divine, which is probably one of the most well regarded 40K novels.
    8
  2358. I loved this! Seeing newer books is very cool! Might pick it up myself in the library

  2363. I will watch this video just so you get the view time for ads, and to petition for more vampire content
    8
  2364. I know that I am going to love this series. One mistake though, the alcohol in beer does not kill the bacteria. This is a wives tale. In order to make beer, you have to cook the wort. It is the heat from the cooking, that kills the bacteria. Thanks for the vid
    8
  2365. Happy holidays guys! Wish you all the Best 🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎄🎄🎄❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

  2366. The opening of how Matt’s words were on the letter was well done too!

    8
  2373. I feel like the top task pinned to everyone's scrum board at extra credits is don't die
    8
  2374. I'm seriously looking forward to the rest of this series! Thanks Extra History! 😊

    8
  2378. I love your guys, I think we all really needed that kind of content right now.
    8
  2379. In Ireland, you need to take a shot of a bloody Mary every time you say it, for it to work. Or a whiskey, or tequila... or any strong alcohol will do. I've tried it... never got past shot number 8 😂
    8
  2380. Nice video, Buddhism is a religion which is not much discovered but a religion which has swayed multiple rulers , even those who once were conquerors
    8
  2381. As a native to Arizona, I believe I am required by law to be interested in the OK corral.
    8

    8
  2398. Last Spring I visited Arizona, and one of my biggest regrets was not making it to Tombstone. I got as far as Tucson for the Pima Air Museum, and that was it.
    8
  2399. Your openings are always so great, but this one really stood out to me! I'm so excited to watch this

  2411. I am top of my class in history and top in school. My secret is I just watch extra history.
    8
  2412. I love how the little ice age is. Very interesting history!
    8
  2413. The Extra History guys are back! :_ExtraEmojiShiny::_ExtraEmojiHeart:
    8
  2414. Oooh, this is going to be a great series! I'm excited to learn more about this period of history. Seems like a lot of important lessons in adaptation we need to learn.
    8
  2415. He was looking at Mongolia, we are the ones seeing the Americas
    8
  2416. This Channel taught me more than collage
    8
  2417. From what I remember the story is much more convoluted then they portrayed it. If I'm not mistaken their adoptive son was also the lover of Cheng's husband (i.e. his adoptive father), and the adoption was an excuse to allow them to spend more time together amongst other things.
    8
  2418. I'm looking forward to this Extra Credits series on Eleanor of Aquitaine - one of the greatest women in history :)
    8

  2423. It's best or second best extra history series after Justinian
    8
  2424. that has got to be the best open to date so far had me in stitches
    8
  2425. Ummm, Amsterdam is in the Netherlands, not Denmark. She wrote in Dutch.
    8
  2426. You know, I always thought the whole 'Christmas is cancelled' thing was just made up for children shows and movies...only to find out that (thanks to this video) Christmas DID get CANCELLED at one point in history!
    8
  2427. Happy Valentine's Day, Extra Credits. Also, please do these other Shakespearean plays next: Macbeth Cymbeline King Lear Anthony and Cleopatra The Tempest Hamlet Othello The Merchant of Venice Twelfth Night Much Ado About Nothing The Taming of the Shrew
    8
  2428. Oh damn you guys are slowly adding more frames to get them animated, can't wait to someday it will be fully animated
    8
  2429. Miniminuteman is a great youtube channel that discusses pseduoscinece in histort snd tdoay in acrheology snd anthropology
    8
  2430. Love this episode: I am actually glad that the coverage gave Sun Jian the credit he deserves, he was quite a daring commander, unfortunately a lot of his achievements were retroactively accredited to Liu Bei's band. 2 quick little points: Cao Cao did not declare his faction as wei just yet. I know a lot of works describe the era by labeling Liu Bei as ruler of Shu, Sun Quan as ruler of Wu, and Cao Cao in turn as the ruler of Wei. But he never dared to depose the Han Emperor and elevate himself in their stead (seeing the bloody results for Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shu) instead he ruled as the chancellor of Han and the power behind the throne. It was only after Cao Cao died that his son Cao Pi did away with the pretense and declared the kingdom of Wei and retroactively put his father as the ancestor of the royal dynasty. Another is that Dong also killed the 1st young emperor (Emperor Shao) he laid his hand on * Also props for making the eunuchs all Varys 👌😎
    8
  2431.  @MrWoman_III  I'm a patron 😎
    8
  2432. I gotta admit, this series didn't make me like Ford any better than I did before. He was an important historical figure and he helped build the middle class in this country but seriously, dude was an ass.
    8
  2433. 0:36, classic cat! 😅
    8
  2434. Absolutely loved this series.
    8
  2435. OH MY GOD! YES FINALLY!! another extra history complete with one of my favourite characters!
    8
  2436. Love your content guys! You're the Best 😊😊😊😊🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
    8
  2437. All this makes me think is that it’s ridiculous that modern American minimum wage is only two dollars higher than minimum wage a hundred years ago.
    8
  2438. Oh come on. The tunnel fights weren't that bad. They only suffered miner injuries...... :D
    8
  2439. 31:59 Zooey responded. :3 🥰
    8
  2440. Ahhh, nothing like booze, the Christmas spirit, and a good story!
    8
  2441. This was one of my favorite books that I have ever read.
    8
  2442. I did like the Heathcliff jokes in this. So I would like to thank Zoey for giving me a good laugh.
    8
  2443. I thought it would be a song again
    8
  2444. I remember both reading and listening to it as a book on CD back in high school, it’s always one of my favorite books! Thanks for the video!
    8
  2445. You guys always make My days better!!🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
    8
  2446. I think for your “So you haven’t read” series ,if you’re planning on continuing it, you should do an episode on the book “cent ten oil”. I’ve never read the book but I have seen the 6 part series with dvds and it’s really great and ,get this, the authors kids starred in the show.
    8
  2447. the seven years war could be multiple of these series on its own
    8
  2448. Honey, wake up! Extra history just dropped a banger video!
    8
  2449. This series is amazing guys! Thanks For all your hardwork ❤❤❤❤

  2450. I love your african history playlist. Would also appreciate some more chinese/asian history
    8
  2451. Keep running up that road.
    7
  2452. I like how big you make Tombstone seem considering how small the town is n real life. I went there and drove right through town without realizing it and had to turn around to go back to town after driving an extra 15 minutes past town. If you blink you will miss it entirely.
    7
  2453. I got ur calendar!!!✨ I got it the last day it was available, my dad was driving me to my school as I ordered it, I bought it 5 minutes before it was gone!!!!!!... Lol
    7
  2454. This is great!
    7
  2455. I don't think my World History class back in high school mentioned anything about the Baltic campaign when we covered this war.
    7
  2456. never been this early Hi!
    7
  2457. Thank you

    7
  2460. I use this as a rhythm for my runs for my school so far I have won 5th in conference I’m shooting for 1 this year wish me luck

  2467. Always waiting for new videos
    7
  2468. Gunfight at the OK Corral was the basis for a SEVERELY underrated Doctor Who story
    7
  2469. Hell yeah thanks for covering Arizona History. Shout out from Prescott, AZ.
    7
  2470. "Us poor folks do not stand a chance unless we organize"

    7
  2473. No nog on hand but here's a glass of water to the amazing crew at EC, drunk Matt, and the amazing Zoey 🍻
    7
  2474. I love you guys's videos. They're pretty entertaining and educational❤ But do you have a chance to do a full series of the the history of The war of the roses 🌹
    7
  2475. It really depends in which country you get your history education. Here in the Netherlands, the Little Ice Age is important because it happened during the 80-year war and the Dutch Golden Age.
    7
  2476. Man I am loving this
    7
  2477. It's a me Giueseppe! (Sorry, had to)
    7
  2478. Gotta say I had a good laugh at 9:25 and the tacticooled-up cartridge razor.
    7
  2479. 1 Star, I dont see any golden diamond encrusted 1911 handguns in this video
    7
  2480. Sitting Bull is here let’s goooooo! I hope we get a series about Standing Bear too!

    7
  2483. My favorite Show! :_ExtraEmojiShiny::_ExtraEmojiHeart:
    7
  2484. Portraits of this time are hilariously wrong.
    7
  2485. Awesome thanks i grew up with a different version of the story but I enjoyed this one too
    7
  2486. The start of the video sounds like the Roman senate instead of the usa …
    7
  2487. This could be more intriguing and it's getting more exciting for this series. To Extra History, thank you for making a new series, short or a one-off that made me feel excited or curious! Keep going, you're almost there to 4 million subscribers! - by a Extra History fan ❤
    7
  2488. Max Gustafsson they were added because gay bars and other lgbt spaces in Philadelphia were being super racist.
    7
  2489. PANR has tuned in. Hope your holidays are going well, friend.
    7
  2490. Great series but I'm a bit disappointed that there was no mention of Fritz meeting Catherine and sending her to Russia as a plug for the Catherine-series...
    7
  2491. How about replacing "Old Testament Myths" with "Tanakh Tales"? (Woo-oo)😛
    7
  2492. 6:05 You had me there guys!😂😂😂😂😂 Love temple of doom! You're awesome 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
    7
  2493. Love your content guys! You always make My day 😊😊😊❤❤❤
    7
  2494. The history of Sicily is such an interesting pocket of European history.
    7
  2495. A good week is defined by a surprise mid-week upload, and I commend your team's initiative to help people out, no matter what! ☺️
    7
  2496. Keep up the good work mr history man
    7
  2497. Started to go rogue was a funny visual joke.
    7
  2498. Whenever I hear the year without a summer, I think of Mary Shelley.
    7
  2499. Hell yeah, love me some Irish history
    7
  2500. Loved this one. Would love to see more videos about modern myths!
    7
  2501. Guys, can we just work together and get rid of more diseases like how we eradicated smallpox?
    7
  2502. Now i aint sayin she a gold digger, but shes definitely not an ant
    7
  2503. 7:10 Crazy that a section of time noted for its warmer temperatures was actually cooler than it is now. Christ, we've made a mess of things.
    7
  2504. Thank you for videos about the great Shahanshah Kosrow Anushirawan.
    7
  2505. That beginning was touching
    7
  2506. Romeo and Juliet is classic Freshman English. In fact, in high school, I was told there would be a Shakespearean play read every year. Sophomore Year was Julius Caesar, Junior Year was Othello, and Senior Year was MacBeth (though in my IB English, we read A Streetcar Named Desire instead).
    7
  2507. Definitely bring back the foreshadow. It was such a fun thing
    7
  2508. As an Egyptian I petition they keep it
    7
  2509. Hi Extra Credits! I just got into an argument with my parents about whether i should listen to your videos or listen to “scholars who spend their entire lives studying this.” Can you send me some of the links or books you used for the info you are presenting? Thank you! :D
    7
  2510. Oof
    7
  2511. We're basically going to have the entire history of Japan at this point and I'm here for it
    7
  2512. Was literally watching the first episode of this when you guys just put out the second one
    7
  2513. Great video series guys! I used to work at Ford here in Australia and even here they used to revere Henry Ford like some sort of Messiah, we got emails of quotes from him...funny how they tended to gloss over the darker stuff 😂 Another awesome series 😊
    7
  2514. And he shall return, disguised as Sir Patrick Stewart
    7
  2515. The few time the son was better than the father
    7
  2516. My excitement is through the roof!
    7
  2517. This summary was an incredible to a topic I was never able to ask properly about to anyone, for they wouldn't know about what it is or be offended by me asking it. Maya may represent even what was and is like to be a black woman to the whole continent. About the ones we could pay respect for here, those really are pretty much impossible for me to look up. Anyway, tl;dr thank you so much for this, Extra Credits crew! t. White Brazilian guy
    7
  2518. My favorite novel of all time - so glad to see y'all cover it!
    7
  2519. The wrestling part was perfect. Just perfect. Entertaining, short explained so great.
    7
  2520. For the later versions, yes. For the earliest known versions, you only have the skill at archery and the Sheriff of Nottingham as his adversary.
    7
  2521. It’s pretty interesting that JEB Stuart and Robert E Lee were the us soldiers that went for him
    7
  2522. Shared to an old VTM player.
    7
  2523. Bro I love what you do. Thank you for teaching people about My county rich history. Moreover can you please do a video on Oromo Gadaa system.

    7
  2537. Ah yes, nothing brings us closer together in moments of cheer then a hearty glass of a hearty bit of booze!! <3 CHEERS MY FELLOW EXTRA CREDIT'S LEARNERS!!!🍻
    7
  2538. Another great episode
    7
  2539. ok..... this is now my favorite EH/EM/EC video of all of your content, all of the channels... lmao this is top shelf writing/research <3
    7
  2540. I grew up listening to the original The Shadow radio shows on cassette with my mom, thank you for that piece of nostalgia this morning ❤
    7
  2541. “Weasel in the hole!” When did you start working blue?
    7
  2542. Algorithm go brrrrrrrr
    7
  2543. I have watched this at school today and I want to watch it again!
    7
  2544. Oh my word that is my last name
    7
  2545. I love this story! Gotta say the D&D references made it 10 times better
    6
  2546.  @CaptBackwards  I didn't know about Jack Rackham. I mostly read or listening pods about subject history. Reason I liked Extra credit made video about Fredrick the Great, they don't go hardcore deep into part of history as well they are good explaining, in this case who was Prussia? For people outside Europe will have hard understanding of the kingdom, even the era of Holy roman empire. I like too share too other ppl in discord and friends when it comes specific subject or leader. One of them when Extra credit made video about Insulin and why it's important too remember they made their product so cheap... and now it's very expensive as many ppl who have diabetes are suffering from economical finance. Short story: Sharing is caring, Knowledge is power. I appreciate and thank you mention that other ytber like Jack, I will check him as well. 👍 Sincerely D Duck

  2547. Mythology is always the best thing to ever exist.
    6
  2548. I think part of this has to do with sci-fi and geek culture becoming more filled with white cishet men in the last few decades. Sci-fi was created by a women but you wouldn't be an idiot for thinking it wasn't when you see how some people reacted to the new Star Wars and the fact that it had a woman and a black man in the lead (and I know Star Wars technically isn't sci-fi but it's very much part of sci-fi culture and every sci-fi nerd has seen it). I'm not saying that these are inherrently bad people, what I'm more pointing at is that a lot of these people came into this, and then started to feel a sense of ownership over the genre and culture.
    6
  2549. Keep in mind that this was the culmonation of two different 'Wests', too. The rough-and-ready Cowboys lived by the Wild West creeds: Tough, sometimes violent, sometimes loyal, survivors in a dangerous country. The Earps were businessmen. Now, money spoke louder than guns. Law brought by court, not by the gun. Now, these two different versions of The West crash together in this... Situation. But I wouldnt want to be Virgil: You know there are dangerous gunhands with Billy Clanton and Frank McClaury... Do you bring Wyatt and Doc and risk violence? Or do you not, and risk being slaughtered? OOF.

  2550. This absolutely threw Context Fairy for a loop. 😅
    6
  2551. Glad to catch something early
    6
  2552. Hello
    6
  2553. Hello nerds, thanks to Patreon I can finally say... FIRST
    6
  2554. I LOVE YOUR WONDERFUL VIDEOS!
    6
  2555. Love your videos guys! They always make My day 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
    6
  2556. Bro doesn't know how to parent
    6
  2557. Blah blab blah Walpole is to blame <bottle flips and dabs>
    6
  2558. I genuinely love your guys's content but I'd probably still watch it on YouTube only for the fact that it's like watching TV I got to wait a week for the next new episode
    6
  2559. Would love some more WW1 or WW2 vids focused on other stuff. Been years for a big saga of vids
    6
  2560. There's no such thing as "unbiased" when it comes to politics. "Unbiased" usually just translates to "generally pro-status quo and opposed to significant change," and I've never seen someone value being "un-biased/objective" in politics who wasn't extremely ignorant themselves.
    6
  2561. Thanks for the shout out to the Dutch ;). The greatest rivalry there is. The Dutch vs The Sea lol.
    6
  2562. Not enough Huckleberrin'. (good episode as always)
    6
  2563. LOVED the intro! One of your best yet! Great indiana Jones style 🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡
    6
  2564. Of all the facts I learned this time, one sticks out... 9:07 you paint Warhammer minis?
    6
  2565. I missed maybe my one and only chance to be the first commentor on Extra History's videos, and I do not have the heart to become the first dislike on the masterpieces Extra History regularly makes.
    6
  2566. 8:47 I was in 8th grade this year and all i did was watch your videos and some other channels videos and my classmates thought i was some history expert so thank you 😄
    6
  2567. You guys are the Best! Love your passion and dedication!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
    6
  2568. Ah yes, more historical drama.
    6
  2569. Love this video, love history
    6
  2570. You guys always make My day 😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
    6
  2571. Non fungible tulips, perfect coincidence.
    6
  2572. i keep notifications on because im addicted to this series
    6
  2573. All of these videos keep getting better and better! The art is really good, would like to give a shoutout to these animators they are wild!
    6
  2574. This is one of my favorite Shakespeare plays because we re-enacted this in my theater class when I was small
    6
  2575. PANR has tuned in.
    6
  2576. I love this show! :_ExtraEmojiHeart::_ExtraEmojiShiny:
    6
  2577. Oh boy I'm gonna learn so much stuff from this episode, I think
    6
  2578. Pretty underrated channel tbh
    6
  2579. You guys always make My day! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
    6
  2580. Thanks!
    6
  2581. Didn't think I was going to hear a quote from Lord Byron's Darkness today! That was a pleasent surprise.
    6
  2582. Great video. I hate that this 9 minute video alone has done more to educate people on this than the public school system.
    6
  2583. Another great vid, I am more than excited for the next one.
    6
  2584. Keep up the great work
    6
  2585. As much as I like this series I feel like it ignores a lot of systemic problems beer has caused, and some of the downsides of it in general. Despite being a history show this one seems to glorify more than provide an accurate picture to me. Still love Extra Credits though!
    6
  2586. boys... that escalate quickly
    6
  2587. Made me laugh. Nice! ;)
    6
  2588. I've been to the Little Big Horn battle ground

  2591. I have never seen this side of the Napoleonic wars thank you ❤
    6
  2592. Holy crow, Whatta Ahole! Didn't teach any of this in my schools, either. Always liked Ford, but no more....
    6
  2593. SOBBING DID NOT EXPECT MY REGION TO BE MENTIONED TODAY. LOVE FROM RIO GRANDE DO SUL! <3
    6
  2594. Thank you from Italy. We should all collectively go to review all the storytelling of past historic events and restore narration of such episodes. Even if and more so, when theese episodes are deemed as “inconvenient truths” 😢
    6
  2595. You guys knocked or out of the park with the cinematic story telling and art here! Especially loved the climatic moment with General Montgomery.
    6
  2596. This is actually perfect I was just about to go out to the store to get more coffee and have to grind it for my French press but now I’m just going the convenient route for only$15 it’s a actually a nice deal and it takes a lot of the guess work out for me at the store thanks for the plug
    6
  2597. Man, I've never seen this early before! Great video as always Extra History!
    6
  2598. I love your videos! This one inspired me to read a book about wu zetian!
    6
  2599. I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!

  2600. Bende bir şeker hastasıyım. Ne yazıktır insülin olmadan yemek yiyemem yoksa karnıma ağrılar girer birde şeker olunca hastaneye kaldırılma var. Ben tip 1 diyabetim hasteneye gidince serüm taktılar ve suyu kanımdan verdiler ağızdan izin vermediler. Bununda üstüne 5 saat kadar beklemek zorunda olmak . Birde şekerine dikkat etmek zorundasın yoksa hastanye kaldırılırsın . Ben şeker olduktan sonra birkaç defa hastaneye kaldırıldım ve en kötüsü sonuncusuydu. Yürüyecek halim yoktu gittik amonyak istediler çisim yoktu beni yürüyemediğim için. Sakat sandılar ve çok afedersiniz penisime hortum taktılar inanılmaz acı verici ve bide bunu çıkartması bir kaç gün hastanede kaldım ondan sonra gitmedim. Yani sağlığınıza dikkat edin kimse bu halde olmak istemez. Extra credit böyle bir video yaptıgi içinde teşekkürler bende bunu merak ediyordum. Biree bilerek türkce yazdım ingilizceye üşendim
    6
  2601. Awesome series!
    6
  2602. PANR has tuned in. Home from hospital. Get your flu shots, my friends.
    6
  2603. Thank you ExtraHistory for giving us hope.❤ What I learned from all this is in case a volcano erupts or two, or pollution starts catching up to us (which it is already doing😅). In all of these cases we will not die. Things will be pretty bad, possibly for a few generations, but it is a far cry from "And all the dinosaurs lay dead overnight".🥲 If humans would have time to think of a plan, humans will survive! Gosh, someone even thrived throughout all of that. All hail humanity!🌟☺️🌟
    6
  2604. As someone who has played cell to singularity daily for about 1 year now. It was so weird to see the game I play a lot show up here
    6
  2605. Us Brits are never happy with anything from Europe are we!? .....Even if that's beer, shocking!! Loving the attachment to Religion though, and sure the American Revolution started in Inns and Coffee houses too which ironically sold booze Lol
    6
  2606. Extremely good use of production value in this. The bits of extra animation and audio do a lot! Great job! Even after 15 years the channel is still improving.

    5
  2687. it's really just heartbreaking that this account doesn't have official captions, I'm deaf but I love animated history videos and auto generated captions are very inaccurate at times.
    5
  2688. I am impressed you have cameras that can pick up Ghosts.
    5
  2689. God I love y’all’s videos I just want the whole Ford series now lol, but Ik it’s worth the wait. Y’all end ur videos on perfect cliffhangers I swear
    5
  2690. My family have been Freemasons for generations. Not something I was never interested in(especially now as a non-binary atheist who has a problem with the racism built into the group), but it was always interesting to hear people talk conspiratorially about a group your father, grandfather, and great grandfather were all in. ...I was in Order of the Arrow, which is a secret society within Boy Scouts(now Scouts of America). Never thought of it in that terms, but that is 100% it. There was so many rituals and you were not supposed to talk to people not in the Order about any of it. Even other Scouts.
    5
  2691. Love this book
    5
  2692. I almost want to see a short series on American eccentrics like Howard Hughes, Thomas Edison, William Randolph Hearst, Henry Ford and Elon Musk (I know Musk wasn't born in America but still).

  2704. I love that ending! It’s always a joy to watch the small animated bits
    5

  2709. You always thank us for watching but I think us as the viewers should be the ones doing the thanking because of your dedication to make good content.
    5
  2710. Actually, he dramatically raised wages mostly because turnover was so incredibly high that higher wages were actually less expensive. Also, a worker couldn't get the full wage unless they met certain conditions that required his minions to come inspect workers' homes so they were living in a way he approved of.
    5
  2711. Dev from the original Ever Quest?! That was the first MMORPG that my brother and I played! Way back in the early years of the internet, and before Warcraft was a MMO! Thank you for many hours of fun! Thank you for introducing me to RPG's in general! Thank you for introducing me to paladins, and the frailty of wizards! It was a distant gateway to D&D for me. I still use the name of my wizard that I got from the EQ name generator from back then.
    5
  2712. I realized I spent $60 on Elden Ring for 20 hours of content but I received a hundred hours from you guys for free. Thanks!

  2716. The Nebula release came just in time for my Summer Internship at the Fort Western in Maine. We got to walk a little bit to the area where Arnold landed, and learned more about the way maps were altered, confusing Arnold’s campaign through Maine, which is something the Nebula release of episode 2 covers briefly.

    5
  2737. Insulin should be $1 and the pump should be $5 because no one should have to pay nearly $2000 per refill even with insurance covering most of the cost. The $2000 is based on what my grandpa paid by the way I'm not entirely sure on actual costs and they aren't really the point of the comment I am just clarifying.
    5
  2738. Holy crap I got here early

  2796. You scared me so much when you said you were not going to do the dishes until new years eve😢

  2797. Heck, you could make a series on just the ingredients of beer. For example, the rise of hops over gruit was probably the first example of mass production destroying cottage industries. Before the widespread cultivation of hops, beers were flavored with gruit - mixtures of sweet and bitter herbs taken from local forests. Monasteries in particular would have forest lands set aside so that they would have access to these herbs for their brewing needs. The interesting thing is with gruit, there's literally infinite combinations of flavor profiles, and each and every local brew truly was unique - that whole fantasy trope of adventurers getting into arguments about whose town has the best beer actually was a thing in medieval times. So why did hops win in the end? Part of the reason is taxes - gruits were effectively patented and owned by monasteries, and as towns grew larger and more taverns appeared the monasteries would continue to charge church taxes for anyone using their gruit recipes. The gruit taxes did not apply to hops, so over time because hops were cheaper brewers came to use them more and more. Hops are also easier to grow at scale - instead of relying on finding herbs out in a forest, you can simply grow the hops on trellises in your garden. The final nail in the coffin was the fact that hops are a preservative - and just as we over-salt our foods today to extend their shelf life, late medieval brewers switched to hops so that they could store their beer for longer before it turned. In the end, increasing profits for brewers and the bottom line won out over gruit recipes that were centuries old, and today we can only speculate what portions of herbs went into a typical gruit. What we do know is that while the switch was happening, it seems almost universal that beer enjoyers preferred the flavors of gruit beers over hopped beers, and they bemoaned the dying art of making a good gruit. We may have given up a superior flavor of beer all for a bit longer shelf life and a slightly higher profit for brewers.

  2847. I tend to love all of your videos but... I will have to say that Frederick "ruled" (pun intended) on his time. He was everything that people then weren't and of course that would have given way for many enemies to pile up.

  2853. Great vid as always guys!!! Just a quick correction however, Peccaries are not actually technically a true pig. And Feral hogs have gotten practically all over the US. From California to Carolina, and some isolated populations in the northern states. Most are animals gone feral, however, some regions have had Russian wild boar introduced as game animals. and they've interbred with the feral population.

    4
  2877. One thing I wanted to note was there was a point in time where Braylon, targeted a zombie with infestation. It is notable that the damage part of infestation is poison, and zombies are immune to poison damage. I am unsure if the DM glossed over that in terms of assigning damage anyway or if he just didn't verbalize the immunity. Anyway it is a small thing, and thus far this is good.

Though I totally agree with your sentiment, I must add that I was clickbaited by my university into doing an entire semester on the history of the plague in Medieval and Early Modern Europe (the course was called "Medieval and Early-Modern Europe").

Politics can be a venomous creature when $$$ are involved. As a pre-diabetic, I fear when I would need to inject insulin regularly. As u have said, may be the stripe among them was a bit much; however, this shows that none of them were in for it for $$$ and just for that all 4 of them deserve highest credits & honors!

  2948. This series is freaking amazing, for so many reasons: 1. You've just spent 5 episodes talking about Frankenstein but I'm not at all sick of hearing about. This entire series couldn't just been "Why Frankenstein is awesome" and I'd be here for the next twenty episodes. 2. You guys are so thoughtful and articulate. You manage to find these complex themes in a work and explain them in a concise and entertaining way. 3. You do a great job at both looking at the work on its own merits and in the greater context of artistic movements, be it the Romanticism of its time or the Science Fiction it will bring. 4. I never thought I'd want to pick up Frankenstein, but now I'm itching to get my hands on a copy. 5. Science fiction is just great in general.

  2975. I absolutely LOVE this channel and this series, but I'm going to have to disagree on this one. As someone who VOLUNTARILY read Wuthering Heights and actually ENJOYED it, I still cannot, in good conscience, recommend it to anybody else. The writing is very difficult to get through and there is not a single likeable character. I enjoyed the reading challenge and there ARE some good lines like: "Your presence is a moral poison". And I saw the story as two obsessive sociopaths falling in love and destroying everything around them. But it's certainly not everyone's cup of tea. It's an intense, dark, depressing story and not one I would impose on anyone. Of course you should give it a try, but I cannot say it's objectively a good book.

  2994. Best history videos on youtube. No argument.
    4
  2995. Finally, after seen the events of both superpowers in Extra Credits it is time for the diplomatic dance between these giants. It's a facinating concept. You have talked about Japan's expansionism, its militarism and also US racial depates and their expansionism. All of those things are playing a role for the coming events. It's like you are tying the nods together for the big event.
    4
  2996. I love how whenever you finish a series, you make a little mini episode to go along with it.

  2998. That reminds me, I already watched this video last week (and also saw Boomers last month). I’m just here for a refresher before watching part 2 on Nebula. ✌️

    4
  3002. Obligatory mrenter joke
    4
  3003. I cannot express how much this channel has helped with general and detailed knowledge for my kids! Y’all have the perfect balance of information to the imagery to catch both kids’ and adults’ attention, which I certainly appreciate for being a history nut! Also having grown up with Wild West legends, I love the cleaned up presentation and clear explanation of the line of events for one of the most iconic yet-random events in the southwest!

  3004. I was born and raised in Connecticut. New England is absolutely this creepy.
    4
  3005. PANR has tuned in.

  3006. Thanks to you, I googled "baroque painting holding seashells." There weren't too many of people holding seashells, but definitely plenty of baroque paintings of seashells.
    4
  3007. second!
    4
  3008. I literally finished this last week lol, what a coincidence
    4

  3010. There is a surprising lack of comments here... excellent video as always! <3 Edit: Must have just been an error on my side. Good to see you all!
    4
  3011. Thanks for doing these EH. It never occurred to me that other cultures have mythologies too. And, I'm college educated. 😄🤣
    4
  3012. It's mine as well.
    4
  3013. I watched the series long ago when there as only 3 episodes, now I was searching for it to see again, AND I'M SO HAPPY THAT YOU MADE A BIG VIDEO AND THERE IS 3 MORE EPISODES!!!! thank you soooo much

    3
  3022. I watch literally every single one I have watched this channel for years!
    3
  3023. Of course not, but just like the other Extra series they go in detail in to the topic. This isn't just a real brief summary of a book but a deep analysis of the Progenitor of Sci-fi and how the Romantic movement at the time influenced this classic.
    3
  3024. Well I'm going to absolutely LOVE this if you do more like this.

  3040. Hey guys, I've been watching your stuff since your "No Redeeming Value" video was posted on The Escapist way back when. I have to say, as the years have passed, I am increasingly impressed with the sophistication, culture, and depth that goes into your content. You guys blew me away with the Punic Wars series that kicked off Extra History, and now you have again with Extra Sci-fi. Kudos. Thanks for being a thing that exists!
    3
  3041. Loved the Jurassic Park vibe for the introduction.
    3
  3042. :D
    3
  3043. I like how you mentioned the legend of Zelda tears of the kingdom because I am playing it as I was listening to this, trying to 100% tears hopefully I can finish before 2024 that is not a joke this a lot to do.
    3

  3060. Surprisingly, I was just binge watching your channel when this new video popped up, new subscriber and I love the ' you haven't read ' series
    3
  3061. That Glacier cameo was a 10/10. I bet he's feeling nice and warm, even in Casa de Frosty-balls
    3
  3062. I feel sick when you literally have to say the whole "[...]to see if your child is eligible for free checkups". Like what? That should be free from the damn start. They saved so many lives over the years.
    3
  3063. One of my personal favorites is farewell to greta. But this one is great as well.
    3
  3064. Do any other cou tries have a tale like this that's as important to the story of that countries history? This story essentially defines what people think of when they think of the Wild West and in reality it's just a bunch of hot heads with alcohol and guns settling their issues
    3
  3065. I commented last time about Guinness, But Sapporo has to be my second favorite. I like Heineken but only the canned kind, the bottled kind in the US has an off taste.
    3
  3066. What an awesome video
    3
  3067. Thanks!
    3
  3068. Etymologically, the word civilization relates to the Latin term civitas, or 'city', which is why it sometimes refers to urban state-level societies, setting aside the nomadic people who lack a permanent settlement and those who live in settlements that are not considered urban or do not have a state-level organization. Sometimes it can be used as a label for human societies which have attained a specific degree of complexity.
    3
  3069. Thanks!
    3
  3070. This has cleared a lot up , can’t wait to show my fellow noobs

  3074. Cracked open a cold one for this...it's going to be a good series
    3
  3075. I'm always dazzled by how superb EH videos are. Simply first-class.
    3
  3076. If you do also more temporary books, would you consider doing David Mitchell´s "Cloud Atlas"? I consider it a great book since it can be read just for joy or to look for deep meaning. To me it is the greatest book ever wrote due to it´s brilant way to cover six diffrent styles of writing and many aspects of life in one book.

    3
  3080.  ReddoFreddo  i know! Crazy isn't it (can confirm, am Dutch myself)
    3
  3081. God the lead in to the sponsor read was funny. Good buildup, actually got me to jump, funny line, and a smash bros reference. Good job EH team!
    3
  3082. There should be an Extra History Wrestling channel where you summarize historical events and battles in a wrestling commentator format.
    3
  3083. Anybody that says mockingbirds don't harm anyone has never had a male set up shop outside a bedroom window and try to attract mates with its call between 2 - 6 AM for fucking months.
    3
  3084. Y’all should do a video of the history of the Ethiopian Empire the only African kingdom/empire to keep their independents
    3
  3085. We read this my ninth grade year and acted out the Court Case. I was Atticus.
    3
  3086. What's really funny about that sponsorship segway is that I actually do mark every single weekday that has new uploads from y'all on my calendar. But I'll make sure to mark next week again for that suspenseful love triangle! 😆
    3
  3087. Congrats on your Kick Starter

  3091. An impressive work of art.

  3110. This series give me goose bump. Even the most shining example has some fault that important to be acknowledge
    3
  3111. Wow, I had no idea Ford had cast that large of a shadow... Thank you for making and sharing this series, Extra History people, well done!
    3
  3112. No kidding. I've known who Banting and Best were my whole life; had never heard of the other two.
    3
  3113. Every piece of history learned is one more piece of modern-day nonsense put in context
    3
  3114. Thank you for making this I have been looking for this kind of nostalgia in a long time
    3
  3115. I read Frankenstein back in college. I even did my final paper on it, talking about Victor's lack of love and compassion to his creation, and how that turned it into a monster.
    3
  3116. it's a pity Ford fell from grace so hard. He goes from one of the most inventive and innovative men to a backwards, abusive monster spreading ignorance and hate. I wonder if him building Utopian towns was his form of escapism when he realized how horrible he became?
    3
  3117. I love this channel
    3
  3118. Another extra history classic 😛
    3
  3119. why not Extra culture instead of extra history, to encompass the other extra series?
    3
  3120. This is awesome! Would love to see this with something like Justinian
    3
  3121. Your content always makes My days guys! Fills me with entertaiment and facts! Keep going! 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️
    3
  3122. I actually really like this sponsor. I recently went from throw away razors to a barber style razor and I ain't never going back: it's so much cheaper and cleaner shave.
    3
  3123. A new video to kick off the month AND the summer season is amazing. Great timing! ❤️😄
    3
  3124. I can't believe I'm this early to an Extra History video

  3138. Among the Japanese beer, I think Sapporo is the best. But Asahi and Kirin are great too. And yeah Tsingtao is really very popular among the Chinese.
    3
  3139. T H A N K Y O U F O R M E N T I O N I N G T H A T V I C T O R I S A C O W A R D I A M S O G R A T E F U L You really did Mary Shelley justice, as well as the intricacy of the book! You talked about the parallels, and included details like how the book is a series of letters. You mentioned the influences from Paradise Lost, Dante Alighieri, and Prometheus. By far the best informational Frankenstein video on YouTube. Amazing job, I’m right about to watch part 2! I’d genuinely enjoy a conversation with you about Frankenstein, because there are so many philosophical ways and different angles to observe the novel from, and you seem to understand that. I just don’t like Victor’s illustration bc he’s less of a moustache guy and more of a lanky nerd.
    3
  3140. I loved Legends and Lattes, when I'm finished reading the last 2.75 books on my shelf, I'm planning on buying Bookshops and Bonedust, as well as several other books. I want to make a movie out of L&L. I'm picturing Gwendolyn Christie as Viv, Aubrey Plaza or Kat Dennings as Tandri, myself as Cal, Rita Moreno as The Madrigal... I can't think of the rest right now.
    3
  3141. You guys are the Best 😊😊😊❤❤

    3
  3150. Tombstone the movie just went on Hulu today! What a line up!
    3
  3151. Will you guys have Desktop Calendars too?
    3
  3152. I can't be a member of patron because I am incredibly unhealthy, live in America, am poor and well, you know but I very much support your Frederick Douglas series!!!!
    3
  3153. strange that you are moving the content that started your channel off to a different channel, but it is what originally drew me here so I am glad it's getting a dedicated channel and hopefully more uploads. because lately, the gaming content I want to see feels kinda absent... glad to know it going to get the attention it deserves.
    3
  3154. This is cool and all but I just want to say that I really like your vikings mini series.
    3
  3155. You should do The Judges of the Dead from Greek mythology

  3190. Okay I just thought of this but if you guys did a series of Joseph Smith, the founder of Mormonism, it would be awesome.

  3196. A new character, the Foreshadow, it would be fun to watch this vids and try to find him in the crowd on a scene rather than have Matt tell us that he is there, a mini game in a history lesson.
    3
  3197. This episode is extremely unhinged, it's kind of like the spiritual successor to the Secret Societies series...
    3
  3198. man its a good day when extra credits posts a new series
    3
  3199. I've recently gained an interest in how conspiracy theories and pseudoscientific beliefs spread, and what I've learned so far is fascinating. I eagerly look forward to the next video.

  3237. Actually, Grandpa Frost and Snowmaiden are postpagan XIX cc characters introduced by tzarist regime to stop people of Russian Empire connecting christmas pagan rituals with important saints. After october revolution the character was firstly "put on the shelf" with priests and kulaks but in 30's was reintroduced for New Year's Eve.

  3277. RESEARCH! They've mentioned libraries, books, primary source documents, etc. Any university library worth their salt will have this information. You just gotta parse it.

  3278. Well, Thanks a lot , that it´s so great. I´m a sincere fan of scifi since I was a teen and I love horror so the series was tailored to me and I really enjoy drawing these episodes I have mutch more creative freedom here too, so that gives me the opportunity to stretch my art muscles a bit. I´m really happy that you enjoy it. Again Thanks for the comment really appreciated that.

  3283. Due to the similarities in bread making and beer making its not possible to know which one came first, one theory is that a group of humans drank from a local water source contaminated by rotting wheats, some believe that the first proffesion was beer maker as they wouldnt be able to hunter or gather and needed to trade for food, with the first bars being the beer makers house

  3287. I wonder if the whole "drinking beer was safer than the water" was true for urban centers and downstream and it just expanded outwards to where the water was relatively clean.

  3294. Funny fact about beer: in my town of schijndel, in the netherlands, in the years between 1900 and 2000, about a 100 homemade brewers ( or more ) ruled our little town until the 90's. There where so many brewers and pubs ( or "kroegen,, if you say it in dutch ) that even People all the way from Amsterdam or even germany, Engeland and france visitid our little town. Even if you consider the size of the town itself. Unfortunetly nearly 90 % of all these homemade brewers where lost. But thankfully there is still one brewer whom still makes his homemade beer till this day. There not big, but are still a fine reminder that in our little town still exsist a love for brewing. Even though this is just a smaal example of the subject, it is still a fun detail in this history lesson. Both for my town and for the history of beer. And for that i toast to all who love this amazing invention. 🍺🍻🍻🍻cheers to you all!!!😀👍

  3295. I love how you guys are approaching this!
    2
  3296. Thanks

  3297. You'd think by now a historical event like this would already have a period drama movie of sorts about it. Or maybe it already does! What do I know? 😆

    2
  3303. This a great video I just find it funny it pops up just after alternate history hub made a video on “the most underrated era in history.” That touched a bit on little ice age..I hope to see more videos about this era.
    2
  3304. Yo EC you guys are frocking awesome Love your vids
    2
  3305. that was amazing to learn, also gad damn dude was good at speeches

  3307. I think I had to read this in high school and watched a movie adaption
    2
  3308. So, as a historian, people have asked me why would you listen to things you know alot about. In this case, I'm a pretty big WWII buff. Yet, it had never dawned on me that the Non-aggression pact would allow the USSR to pivot to a conflict with Japan. I had always viewed it as either an ability to increase their domestic stability or expand towards other parts of Europe/the Middle East. It does make absolute sense though since the USSR wanted to support Maoism on the global stage and the previous war with Japan that they lost. Now, the Tsar started that war and I'm positive Stalin didn't give two shites about China as a whole, but there's a lot of political weight being shifted around there. Point being: It's good to learn about things you know alot about because you may find a new way to look at it!!
    2
  3309. Bummer this series is on pause because as a reading addic I love it so hope it comes back but also love mithology so fair exchange. If anyone read the 8n death series by j.d. robb there are a few books were computer programs kill people or make them.kill other people.
    2
  3310. Watch the Lizzie Bennet Diaries on YouTube, it’s a great adaptation
    2
  3311. Excellent Episode. This book reminds me of the Doctor’s speech in the Zygon Inversion. If I may pose a suggestion, could you do Tamora Pierce’s Protector Of The Small Series? They are great books.
    2
  3312. (7:07) That kind of garnishing is known as a michelada, and they say it tastes better if drunk from a clay vase (a really big one).

  3365. Very interesting video, can’t waiting to see what else y’all discuss.
    2
  3366. A little late to the party here but still, thanks so much for making this video! It really struck a chord with me... My mother grew up in East Germany and though she told some stories of what happened to her and her family under the system - such as how hard it was to get a decent car or manage the family's "Volksegeigener Betrieb" ("Nation-owned Business") - she hasn't really opened up much about how it all panned out. She and her brother escaped (after the family was apprehended and subjected to extensive questioning before being sent home while on a legit holiday trip) about 2-3 weeks before the wall came down. One of her stories I remember fondly though is about those 'deconstruction workers' chanting "Die Wand muss weg! Die Wand muss weg!" ("The wall must go! The wall must go!")
    2
  3367. Okay, now I got My Sharona stuck in my head, but it's La Llorona instead of Sharona.

  3381. Thanks for the new video!
    2
  3382. So excited for this miniseries/topic. I grew up having enjoyed the movie Tombstone but having sought more accurate information, and it's really neat to see a professional effort put to what I could only dive into at a glance. Thank you for working on an objective discussion of the events. I am also curious if you will get into the various land diaputes between county and town, as well as how each shootout belligerent was tied to them. Either way, thanks again!

Greta is actually pronounce 'Gree-tah' rather than 'Gret-ah' (Apologies, not sure how best to iterate this phonetically!) Follow this link and you'll be able to hear it after a second or two: https://youtu.be/p8-NH1VM-JA?t=6m22s
    2
  3428. Awesome series! EH is the BEST history channel 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
    2
  3429. I did not expect you to know the theory that beer predates wine. Is it beacuse you reqd about the findings in the galil area where they found fermented when dating back to the times humans where hunters gatherers?
    2
  3430. VTH sent me here

  3446. This one has always intruiged me, but as I have a dislike of romance I've never gone out of my way to read it. The Wheel of Time, on the other hand, I'm just jumping into, and it's perfect for my preferences.

  3452. btw, before anybody goes and buys Snow Crash, YT is fifteen and is HIGHLY sexualised throughout the book. I enjoyed my read, but that whole aspect of the book is really gross.

  3453. Its incredibly important that the public know the truth of this history. Thank you for covering it!
    2
  3454. Thanks!
    2
  3455. struck by lightening can be referring to specific reference to Zeus. Some connotations have to be kept alive through intuition and creativity more so than written or spoken. There will always be groups as long as their are families and cultures.

  3472. In Ogedei's reign the Secret History of the Mongols was written, which has a lot of details about him. There are also chinese records that, since they chronicled the history of the Yuan, also included Genghis since he was regarded as the dynastic founder. On top of that we have muslim biographies and histories of the mongol empire

  3473. OH THANK GOD I cannot express how relieved I am to hear that you guys (and videos) aren't going anywhere, just separating onto different channels *whew*!

  3474. A lot of animation in this episode, wow.

  3475. 1 million beers please

  3479. And maybe I’m a dork but I had my Rockband character pimped out. I gave all my gear to my nephew when I up and decided to move to Costa Rica and I had to determine what was worth putting in a storage unit (in case Costa Rica didn’t work out) or worth packing and taking with me. I did take my Xbox though (which was stolen while I was in the United States visiting family) but the really messed up thing is they got my pimped out $300 Evil controller too and since I ordered mine with a blue power button you wouldn’t know it was worth more than the actual Xbox. Dunno why I decided to share that v( ‘.’ )v :_ExtraEmojiSad:

  3480. Finally!!!!! I was really waiting for a shift like this for so long... grats!!

  3481. Started giggling when I saw today’s sponsor

  3482. Jack Skellington is still my most favourite Santa Claus. Although Cid in Emminence in Shadow tells an interesting version. I hope it bites him in the behind because at the same time he makes up his story he was telling someone else she shouldn't lie.
    2
  3483. Please at some point do Why You Should Read: The Godfather. It offers a look behind the closed doors of the past, and in doing so reveals a surprising amount about the present.
    2
  3484. "I will rise and follow, follow, I will rise and follow follow I will rise and follow on, Rise and follow Charlie!"
    2
  3485. This is also the best sponsorship segue you've ever done
    2
  3486. Oh boy. Literally the darkest and most evil secret society stuff in history.
    2
  3487. But who are the bigger villain? The pigs or the ones who introduced them to ecosystems they are not native to? [[insert "DUN-DUN-DUUUUN" here]]

  3488. Bloody Mary? Yes, thanks, with a splash of Tabasco sauce and a celery stick, please!

  3498. 1. anti-Semitism for shadowing on Henry Ford? Wow that's news to me. Someone called the Dearborn Independent. 2. The Henson razors are also very nice because they're made out of aluminum and are lighter, giving you a little bit more control and being much easier for me, since I have carpal tunnel. Those hundred blades could easily last 100 weeks.
    2
  3499. Soon to be adapted for Apple TV. Talk about a victory lap

  3500. You’re great EH

  3514. At "bird and jet engine" I was ROFL. Why? Back in the early 70s, I had a bf who was in the Navy and stationed at the local Naval Air Station (NAS), and serviced the engined on the aircraft. Everything from jet fighters to the P3 Orion sub-chasers, which were prop jets. NAS Moffett Field, now Moffett Federal Airport, is atvthe south end of San Francisco Bay. The stories bf told about the problems of cleaning chopped and diced seagull remains out of the various engines! And all raw, too.

  3515. As an Australian, it just made me think of Kaiju brewery's "Cthulhu On the Moon"

  3518. I played a Goblin Bard that uses Cooking as a performance art. He was based off a random thought I had. What if Gordon Ramsey was a goblin? Of course, he's a bard, because who else could match Chef Ramsey's vicious mockery game? Grubsey also had an obsession with chickens to the point of having a special magic cage that held live chickens in a pocket dimension. Because live food never spoils
    2
  3519. Now I need to play the Beer Song from Bard's Tale.

  3521. YOUR VIDEOS ARE WONDERFUL!
    2
  3522. Thanks!
    2
  3523. One of the reasons we teachers have to yada yada so much is that the school year is short. In the school that I teach at in the state of New Jersey, there are only 3 years of social studies required. I believe two important changes need to be made to social studies education: 1. Require 4 years of social studies, and 2. Get rid of the "world history" and "U.S. history" distinctions. We could cover things so much more efficiency and in true chronological order if we just taught the history of the world for 4 years. Just call them History 1, History 2, History 3, and History 4.
    2
  3524. I actually read this but it's good to get a refresher from high school
    2
  3525. These 3d graphics are insane.

  3549. There is actually an earlier short story by English author Jerome K. Jerome that explores the concept of a modern Dystopia called “The New Utopia” published in 1891. While at the time many authors were beginning to explore the dystopian possibilities of Capitalism and European governments Jerome actually finds himself imagining what could probably be the earliest version of a Socialist Dystopia. It is a surreal tale that I openly recommend people to read, it has a lot of the elements we see today in modern dystopian works. Heck! I think it could have inspired more than a few people that wrote about dystopias in the 20th Century.
    2
  3550. Oh God, imagine how sick he got from the tulip thinking it was an onion.
    2
  3551. So funny because i posted a video about tulips last week. Some of the history and now and how i take care of them and such.. i am a dutchie and i loved diving into the topic!!

  3574. Ooo looking forward to the series! Should really add that the 'beer' they were drinking to replace water in towns and cities did not have the alcohol level that we have today, it was much more watered down.

  3605. when you said "everything will transport you to the wonderful terrifying world of dream" it's so true, once you read one panel in, you suddenly in a weird beautiful majestic new world that gaiman made, every panel, every story will stuck to your memories 🤍 and can we talk about your doodle of neil gaiman himself? it's truly one of the cutest thing I've ever seen 😂

  3622. While I'm well aware that the movie is less than historically accurate, it's still one of the finest films of the 20th century and is my all time favorite Western.
    2
  3623. I have in fact read Snow Crash and definitely recommend it! Hiro is pretty awesome but YT is my favorite character.
    2
  3624. Another week of this series, another week of bird-brained maniacs! I'm kind of baffled that these guys REALLY wanted to be liked despite all of the genuinely sickening things they'd do to others. 😰 Great upload as always, though!

  3709. For all of you a little question. How do you think a interplanetary or intergalactic calendar would look like? If there was a colony in mars, how would we agree on when certains things should be done? The lenght of the days and years are different and to just stick to the earth calendar would be a headache for those martians. So what do you tink a calendar for both planets would look like? How would you extend it to other parts of the universe?

  3746. Purchased! I already got two of his books (free, public domain) off Amazon so getting an annotated edition is great! It's amazing at how many of the books on Extra Sci-fi are freely available in ebook format.

  3757. Hello from the future past!!!
    1
  3758. Wait... I always got a different story about Sun Jian's death dying after being shot by an arrow, as well as that it's not his "elder brother", who inherited rule over the Sun Family, but his oldest son Sun Ce, who was killed by retainers of a subdued lord... and Sun Quan, who was his youngest son, not his younger brother, who then led what would later become Wu and allied with Liu Bei?... I kind of wonder what sources this is from?...

  3765. I hate this video. Not because it's bad, its well done. But to find out this was still a problem in 1978 shames me to my core

  3768. Could you guys make an episode on the Brazilian independence.
    1
  3769. Just one quick Question: The Calendar is a great idea (Im gonna buy for sure one)! Do you plan to make European Version also? As you know our week starts with Monday not Sunday... Maybe this is also a good Video Idea?
    1
  3770. I must say, your match commentary was way more interesting than the forthcoming Superb Owl.

  3771. OOOOOOOOOO

  3772. Hey James and the rest of the crew, it was super cool getting to meet you, albeit briefly, at PAX! I was the one who ran into you guys late on Saturday night near the entry lobby, if you recall. Mentioned how I got my dad, who's a big history buff (he's THE guy to ask about ritualistic bull sacrifices in ancient Mithraic cults...yes I know that's very specific) into watching this channel. I'm sure you met a lot of people that weekend, though.

  3781. I'd love for that coffee shop to be a real place to go to. Seems like it'd have a good atmosphere 😊
    1
  3782. I’m still not gonna read. Books are exhausting to me and and I can’t find any enjoyment from them. I enjoy good stories but I prefer a recap on youtube with visual aides rather than an audio book or just straight up words on paper.
    1
  3783. Yes I have
    1
  3784. Heh, "Ass"... Even as a swede I can't help but let my inner english-person chuckle childishly. At least in Swedish it's spelled "As" or "Asagud" for singular and "Asar" or "Asagudar" for plural.
    1
  3785. Really love these styles of shows. The wrestling match analogy/filter was a perfect choice. Poor Peter getting "DACHAIR!!"
    1
  3786. So I did the math, and for perspective, 9000 guilders is worth approximately $9.3 million. That is a huge amount of money, even for today, and for back then, those kids likely would have been set for life.

  3790. Man. The books got me into the series. Both good, books better lol. ( points at self ) NERD!
    1
  3791. I am very thankful for this shift. I don't think I'd have ever started watching this channel if it remained entirely gaming, since that's just not a major interest of mine. But I LOVE your other material. I started watching when Extra History first came out. And if I'm honest I was mildly annoyed by notifications of gaming-related content that I just wasn't going to watch. I don't think it would have ever dissuaded me from watching the channel. But it will be nice to have the content compartmentalized more logically.
    1
  3792. This was the greatest way to quickly highlight complex politics in a battle I've ever seen. And the "fate is a woman" line has me howling!

  3799. An aggressive anti-Russian sensational western press demanding rash action and riling up the public for war? Russian leadership with vast misconception of a western response, taking overly aggressive and bloody military actions? The formal introduction of new, controversial and deadly military technology in war? Future Historian will have a field day making the Parallels from then and today.

  3800. heyyy , love this

  3801. This was amazing, and the art is next level. Also love the storytelling environment. Cannot wait for more.

  3802. Nice video as always :_ExtraEmojiGetEm:
    1
  3803. this is actually a great step forward. When i first found this channel, i thought it's just an animated history channel like Oversimplified but then stuff like computers, games, codes started popping out and i was like "What on earth are this topics doing in this channel". Separating history stuff and game stuff would make it easier for viewers to gravitate to the topic they want.
    1
  3804. Thanks for posting❤❤
    1
  3805. I have been waiting for a video about this.

  3832. Only reason I didn't get a doggo from the pound was we could only have a hypoalergenic dog, so we needed to go to a breeder. Still, Rocky da puppy is the best ever puppy like puppy to be a puppy.

  3833. For those on the fence about it, please do yourself a favor & read this book. About 1200 pages & 100% worth it. This video just barely scratches the surface when you consider all the intricate sub-plots
    1
  3834. That opening made me laugh a little. Yeah, no, I don't think Hypatia was a young supermodel...like, ever. 😅 Here's to a new upload! 😆

  3835. Great video.

  3836. You deserve all the love in the world

  3837. Extra Credits I believe the echoing from the room is one of the issues bothering others. If you had a microphone on the lapel, it'd reduce the distance from the mouth to the mic and likely reduce the reverberation effect. I don't mind it, but I noticed it. Great content, and thank you for all your hard work!

  3838. Would love to see some Danish history too

  3839. Erin go Bragh!

    1
  3841. No. Their regular Extra History videos are always on Saturdays but they will also from time to time do special videos during the week. This is the latter.

  3842. Romeo and Juliet is also arguably just plagiarism of a greek myth :) heh

  3843. We didn't want to put any of the real politicians in the EC style - so we use whatever photos the politicians supply to news outlets when we reference them.

  3844. Hi, as you have medical mini series about medical history and as a subject which sadly effects a lot of people, as patients, as family, as friends - have you thought about the history pf cancer, from pre-history, to antiquity to the present and maybe with hope to the future? It's not an easy subject for sure - but it might give hope to those who need it the most I, sadly, want to think that someone i care about has that sliver of hope

  3854. i breathed a sigh of relief 😌I was fearing that you guys might say "We are leaving YouTube for good, from now on we will be only on Nebula". Don't get me wrong, Nebula is good but I just can't deal with all these streaming services piling up, so I decided to just keep those where I can find the majority of the content I want to see. And Nebula didn't make it...

  3894. One problem in the USA is that you use a 250 year old rulebook in a 250 year old system. It needs to be updated to modern standards. Just look at all the hallabaloo around the presidential elections and the problems with the two chamber parliamentary system. Sweden (where I live) changed its parliamentary system once in 1866 to a two chamber system, then again in 1971 to a one chamber system. All to keep in sync with what a modern world demands.
    1
  3895. Thanks!

  3896. It never really occurred to me that there was thought to be a difference between 'myth' and 'folklore'. Not in origin, at least; they are all man-made. Same for religions but they have added rituals, rites and rules. I suppose, maybe, epic-ness-osity might be a distinguishing factor.

  3927. There’s a University still operating there today, Sankore. Also the largest mud-brick Building in the world was made in the Mali Empire, The Great Mosque of Djenné, bigger than any of the Ziggurats of Mesopotamia Try that for contribution ;) . The story of his Hajj actually is written down among many parts of Malian History. Oral history was used alongside it. It was a cultural preference as spreading history down each generation was a form of community bonding. Unfortunately, due to many years of Colonialism under the French , as well as Corruption from Malian government, plenty of Malian Documents and history have been destroyed, or suppressed .
