  1. I googled it. "Unconditional surrender grant" isn't a joke. It seems that was actually a name the historical figure had. I love the way oversimplified does this. Historical facts and Easter Egg fun in the narrative. Brilliant.

  2.  @The_whales  just shows there's always something new to learn. To someone who has no interest in a foreign countries civil war (as it's has minimal effect on the history of my country and continent), the 'name' sounds silly and made up. But obviously it's neither and is intact an interesting insight into the war.

  3. One of the most impactful moments in 20thC history- Americans: what about the Vietnam war!? The rest of the world: sigh

  4. Fun fact. The American civil war isn't featured at all in the history curriculum of most countries. So this is a great way for us (in my case in the UK) to learn what happened in the American civil war. :) Classroom teaching only has so much time available so this is a great way to touch on history which is very much fringe/less relevant to people outside the effected country. I wish I had short videos like this when I was at school to teach me narrow context when studying world wide history.

  7. Today I learnt that Americans use honey to save dollars so that one day they can finally have plumbing in their houses.

  8. And Nicholas said "do you see torpedo boats" And even the kamchatka didn't think it was a good idea.

  9. Napoleon<=Hitler. An interesting historical figure. But not one worthy of reverence.

  13. The google grey area.... I mean I genuinely thought unconditional surrender grant was just a joke in the script. But I googled it and it's actually a thing...... So putting jokes in an area that's something you want to Google is ruddy brilliant.

  14. Sooo. Does Nord VPN let me watch Star Trek Discovery AND live in England?........ Dude. Cool.

  15. The end of the video was funny.......... If it was written with trump as president. I'd expect the general theme would be rather different 😅. It's probably worth noting. That even today, I could see the royal navy defending the sovereignty of a commenwelth state to the last man and missile. Wouldn't it be ironic after the cold war, the middles east crises, India and Pakistan and north Korea entering the nuclear club.... What actually ends humanity is a nuclear winter caused by an ICBM exchange triggered by a war between the British commonwealth nations and the United States in America... That, would be uncool
