One minor flaw I wanna point out, Hannibal didn't take 100,000 men to the Alps. He got 50,000. The other half was given to his brother Hasdrubal to defend Iberia from Roman attacks So Hannibal still lost alot of men, at least over 20,000 but he didn't lose 75,000
I believe it was around 70,000 he gave 30k to his brother to defend Spain. So he lost 20k on the way to Alps and crossed with 50k losing half of that before entering Italy.
Starting from 1:06:25 this is probably the first time I’ve ever had genuine chills watching an oversimplified video. From the music to the background with a storm rising throughout the battle was great cinematography
Man, mine is when they introduced Scipio Africanus and have that tense music at the end. Hyped me up for the massive showdown both generals are about to have
Watching that scene gave me a feeling I'll never feel again. It's a shame that some schools (including mine) don't talk about how glorious Hannibal's campaign was, and how crazy and dramatic the 2nd Punic War was. Truly one of the most dramatic, shocking, and bloody wars in the world.
1:06:32. According to the sources, Hannibal actually positioned himself in the middle of the formation on foot. He wanted to be able to rally the men and prevent them from breaking as they slowly backpeddled.
1:06:26 actually, Hannibal and his brother were on the frontlines during the battle. When the Romans began pushing the bulge back, the Carthaginian line almost broke, and Hannibal remained there to ensure they all stood firm.
There actually is a photograph taken from the Pyrenese in Spain where you can see the Alps in the background. It's considered the longest distance photo taken of a point on Earth by someone on Earth.
Fun Fact: For generations the Roman mothers said to their kids “go to sleep or Hannibal will come for you”. The man make a permanent mark of fear in Roman psique.
The “blind them and send one back” was Basil the second of Byzantium who defeated a Bulgarian army and wanted to punish them as revenge for the Bulgarian emperor turning the previous Byzantine emperors head into a wine glass (true story)
Well, not exactly. Basil The Second blinded the 1500 Bulgarian soldiers mainly as punishment for Simeon's slaughter of similar proportions more than half a century ago, it isn't well known, but Rome doesn't forget. Nikephoros' skull was a bit too far in the past by that point, it wasn't exactly on top of Basil's mind.
Yeah, Basil the Bulgar Slayer is one of the best Roman Emperors in my opinion. If only he had had an heir. Pretty sure, he blinded the entire 15,000 large Bulgarian Army and sent them back home.
Both outcomes have similar things: no matter how much Rome loses, they don’t give up. They will continue to fight until their last person in their country dies.

31:55 Drew, those Celts in northern Italy WERE Gauls. It's Cisalpine Gaul, as opposed to that Transalpine Gaul was the Gauls beyond the alps. Gauls were mostly Celtic people.
Yeah, Celts were all over Europe at the time. Celt-Iberians in Spain, Celts in Gaul, Celts in Illyria. There were even Celts in Asia Minor (Modern Day Turkey) called Gallicians.
The thing I like is the power of story telling and how your views change, during the first punic war video I cheered for the Roman 100%, in this one I despise the romans and love carthage
I get the sense in part 3 it'll be the Romans again given the position their now in, we know they eventually become one of the most powerful civilizations to ever exist.

Something that's not actually mentioned, is that in those first two major battles, the Roman vanguard did in fact break through the Carthaginians line. In the first battle, they got through the centre, in the 2nd battle by the lake, they broke through the front and then those guys climbed the hill. So in the battle of Cannae, the Romans quite sensibly thought they should use the one thing that went well for them in the battles so far, and break through the Carthaginians line. Also, when the Roman consul fled after seeing the cavalry coming behind them, that was always their plan from the beginning. They knew they couldn't win the cavalry battle, and they were just there to defend against the Carthage cavalry for as long as they could, and it was always the pre-battle plan that if one side fell, and the Carthage cavalry came round to help the other side, then they should just cut their losses and avoid a slaughter. The Romans were expecting that to happen, their plan was that they could break the Carthage infantry line before the Carthage cavalry would win the cavalry battle, and then encircle the Roman infantry, and that is actually what happened, the Carthage line did break before the Carthage cavalry could encircle. But as we know, Hannibal was also planning for that.
Pretty sure in the battle with Longus there is a red arrow pointing towards texts that pops up which say "These guys managed to break through". And in the lake battle, he explicitly says that the Vanguard broke through and ran up a hill
Elephants did exist in North Africa, but humans made them go extinct there. The carthaginian ones were probably the last bunch of north afrocan elephants in existence. The middle east had them too and there it was the same story.
6:52 You're not the only one who felt that way. We call the type of peace given by Versailles, a "Carthaginian Peace". The term was popularised by one of the drafters of the Versailles Treaty: John Maynard Keynes, in his book _The Economic Consequences of Peace_ . Similar labels would also be applied to the Morgenthau Plan, by Lucius Clay.
I live 5m away from Sagunto so I can tell you a little about it. it's less than an hour away from Valencia and it takes great pride in it's roman past, I can tell you that; a lot of social events like high-school graduations and concerts take place in the old roman theatre just below the ruins of the castle. On another note, the city also played an important role during the spanish civil war (wich some historians consider a prelude to WWII and I'd love to see it in one of Oversimplified's videos) since along side Valencia and other cities from the region, they were some of last strongholds for the second spanish republic!
1:05:51 Georgia used kinda similar tactics in the battle of dodgori. I can see this battle inspiring David the Seljuk slayer Because he loved reading books and knew history well

Fun fact: after the battle of lake trasimine hannible was looking for the flamunius body to give him a bearial but the celets left no trace of any limb all there was was blood
Now that drew is pointing out, there is quite a lot of similarities between the World wars and the Punic wars In the first, It was unclear which side was gonna win, in the second the side that lost builds up more and more strength before the war starts, and when it starts that same side manages to gain lots of victories over the before winning one, only for it to lose at the end... truly "History repeats itself" moment.
There is a reason the Treaty of Versailles and others as or even more severe treaties are known as Carthaginian. When someone says a Carthaginian peace, it refers to how severe the peace was, often times resulting in another worser war down the line. 6:55
Imagine Hannibal with modern technology. Hannibal leading the Germans or the Allies in WW2. Hannibal with the Soviets or the US during the Cold War. Hannibal during the American Civil War. Heck. Even Hannibal vs Russia right now
Talk about oversimplified, Hanibal's mom was Lusitani and Amilcar founded Castelo Branco In Portugal, 10000 Lusitani horseriders rode with Hanibal across the Alps not because they were mercenaries, but because of their blood pact with Carthage.
hannibal was basically a living embodiment of the gods displeasure to romans. he completely wipes out like 3 roman armies. 3 battles and he kills or captures almost 200,000! he is an absolute beast and is NEVER defeated! he ends up as a mercenary in the seluccid empire i believe. we talk about napoleon but hannibal was the OG, if you dont count alexander that is!!!
The people waiting for next book in the Song of Ice and Fire (Game of Thrones) book series have been waiting 13 years so far. (Though to be fair, they aren't all that patient. They are constantly bugging the author to hurry up).
The reason why Oversimplified took over half a year to make 2 new videos, is because it’s hard to make does kind of animation videos. And don’t forget that each video of the Second Punic War was over 20 minutes!
1:07:39 With an average of ~1.3 gallons of blood in the human body 30 000 gallons of blood would imply ~23 100 people slain & completely wrenched of their bodily fluids; at a total toll of ~88 000 souls at most, this would mean that at least a good quarter (~26.22%) and at most a good third (~33.94%) of their blood spilled out before stopping (for some reason), depending on the estimates of the Romans' death toll
You ever start watching a youtube video, go, huh his shirt looks familiar, and then look down and realize you are wearing the literally the exact same shirt
@drewdurnil throughout roman history the 2 consular leadership was really effective if the 2 consuls agreed. Think of it as two motivated people each taking a day shift leading, all well and good if you both want the same thing, the issues start when your rivals
1:03:03 Actually, the tactics of the Romans were very good there. By choosing a battlefield that was only 2 kilometers wide, they would nullify the influence of the Carthaginian cavalry. You can see that the Carthaginians had much more cavalry than the Romans, about 10,000 cavalry (6500 heavy cavalry and 3500 Numidian cavalry), and the Romans only about 6000 (3600 allied cavalry and about 2400 Roman cavalry). The Roman tactic was to limit the room for maneuver of the Carthaginian cavalry to only 2 kilometers of the battlefield, probably even less, and thus improve their chances in suppressing the attack of Hannibal's cavalry. The point is that the Romans knew they didn't have much of a chance against the Carthaginian cavalry, but they believed that by prolonging it, they would buy the infantry, which was twice as large as the Carthaginian, enough time to break the Carthaginian infantry, and then the victory of the Carthaginian cavalry over the Roman would be unimportant, because they would have no one to encircle.
There's just something horrifying about an army only granting mercy because, AND ONLY BECAUSE, they got tired of killing. That just shows how much hatred Hannibal and Carthage had for Rome.
Saguntum (modern day Sagunto) is only 29km from Valencia. Valencia was actually founded many years after Sagunto, established in 138 BC as Valentia Edetanorum.
Oversimplified took so long to upload I finished an entire semester of a history course where I now went from knowing near nothing about the Punic Wars to nearly everything.
1:07:19 That figure'd have made Rome's total population _(before_ that massacre), assuming a 1:1 gender ratio for adults and an average of 2 (minor) children per couple of adults, accounting for adult children, minors who die young & the presumed high fertility of mothers (like, over 2 children for each on average), of about 1.2-1.6 million habitants

What I've learned about the Punic Wars:
1. LOTS of Romans die.
2. They keep winning anyway.
They are really just to stubborn to give up and it somehow pays off 😅
The Romans quite literally never surrender
Russia 2.0😂
they dont stop coming and they dont stop coming
Barely any Carthagians died and they still lose😂 smh
One minor flaw I wanna point out, Hannibal didn't take 100,000 men to the Alps. He got 50,000. The other half was given to his brother Hasdrubal to defend Iberia from Roman attacks
So Hannibal still lost alot of men, at least over 20,000 but he didn't lose 75,000
it does show that he had 50,000 by the time he got there, though he never verbally pointed that out
I just like that he’s back
i wouldnt call that minor
I believe it was around 70,000 he gave 30k to his brother to defend Spain. So he lost 20k on the way to Alps and crossed with 50k losing half of that before entering Italy.
In the video it was 50k
Starting from 1:06:25 this is probably the first time I’ve ever had genuine chills watching an oversimplified video. From the music to the background with a storm rising throughout the battle was great cinematography
Man, mine is when they introduced Scipio Africanus and have that tense music at the end. Hyped me up for the massive showdown both generals are about to have
Yes! Victory!
Watching that scene gave me a feeling I'll never feel again. It's a shame that some schools (including mine) don't talk about how glorious Hannibal's campaign was, and how crazy and dramatic the 2nd Punic War was. Truly one of the most dramatic, shocking, and bloody wars in the world.
1:06:32. According to the sources, Hannibal actually positioned himself in the middle of the formation on foot. He wanted to be able to rally the men and prevent them from breaking as they slowly backpeddled.
So he was there to see his victory on rome
Oversimplified did mention that
