i love that wendigoons content swings wildly between "heres some of the most disturbing stuff you might ever hear" and "lmao ur not gonna believe this shit"
Zanzibari casualties be like: death, wounded, MIA British casualties be like: “oh dear, it seems that Officer Davie tripped over a bucket in the mess hall”
Enlisted man: my word, Karsters, sir! your leg has been shot off! Officer: oh don't worry Fairfax. I have another. During the age of Imperialism the British were absolute badass monsters. Wearing a varnish of sophistication
Personally this would make a great comedy. Have it be a parody of a dramatic retelling of all the events that lead up to the "war". Then, with all the gravitas of a real war movie, the captain gives the order to fire the first shot. Hard cut to a bunch of british soldiers standing in the rubble of the palace looking confused.
And, If you decided to make a movie exactly 38 minutes long, it couldn’t even be considered a movie, as a movie has to be 40 minutes or more to be considered “feature film” (although some academies say different)
Why Wendigoon thinks people say he has history teacher vibes: dad shirts, whiteboard, beard, history facts. Why people actually say he has history teacher vibes: “I’m not an artist” *draws on whiteboard*
You missed the best part (in my opinion) which was that the Zanzibaris’ cannon wasn’t a modern howitzer thing or even like a Napoleonic war cannon - it was a fully bronze, 17th century cannon like something off a pirate ship. Literally more time passed between when that cannon was made and when the war was fought than between the war and today 💀
I think the way Wendigoon described it gave that impression because that's exactly what I imagined the cannon would be 😂 the British could've brought out some old Victorian ships and still would've won in 39 minutes 😂
The Dardanelles Gun was a siege canon made by the Turks in 1464. During the Dardanelles Operation in the Anglo-Turkic war, the Ottoman Turks used this same cannon to defend against British fleets. In *1807.* Over THREE HUNDRED YEARS after it was made.
Bro, what did you read about that to not get let down? I read up on it because I was so tired of seeing people meme about it, and it was one of the most disappointing things I've experienced lol. It was literally a case of a few dozen ex-military and military guys being given some military surplus equipment after a war, and then being told to go and cull thousands upon thousands of emus. I'm really confused why it's become a default "aren't those aussies so stupid" meme. It's not actually a war guys lol - it's just some guys failing to kill enough animals in a cull
sounds like that time of the special ed kids wouldnt come out of the bathroom and said he was gonna shoot himself if anyone came in. he came out like 15 minutes later and just said he had to "take a rippin' shit" and tried to go about his day like nothing happened. the gun he had was a squirt gun. That wacky mf
I think I'd heard rumors regarding this war that Khalid may have intentionally provoked the war because of the policy that post-war the winner would come in and fix things up and he wanted some places to get fixed. Like if you really wanted some local library to get rebuilt you could start a war, surrender, and claim that it was destroyed in the shelling, and therefore the 'winners' would help rebuild it with their greater force and therefore better means. Which I think is a really funny idea in that it's like the ultimate insurance fraud. Instead of gently throwing yourself on a car hood and pretending you got hit, you knock down a building and claim it got destroyed by straight up war.
"A pair of boxers that are so well made, it feels like someone actually.. cared for once" I was afraid where that statement was gonna go. Anyway, I will watch ur midroll ads father Wendigoon
What's both cute and cool is at the end when Wendi expresses his amazement and gratefulness over how many subscribers he had when this video was created, 240k, compared to today, 2.22M. What is really amazing as well is how fast the channel has grown, like, this video was created not even 2 years ago. Really well done mate! :D
Every history teacher I’ve ever had: “I’m not an artist.” Wendigoon: “I’m not an artist.” Me: “I’ve seen your kind before. Studied in their halls. Which allows me to know if you had such talent you would be to powerful to be kept alive.”
Even with the end credits and "thank yous" AND the several minutes of Manscaped, the war lasted longer than the presentation. And you did great at the presentation, very educational and entertaining, and I loved how detailed it was. I'm just impressed that it was all able to be boiled down in such a way, but you have a talent for boiling things down I've noticed. Keep up the great content!
Need more of this content from you, you can pull off horror and history, not many folks can say that. Well "Bedtime Stories" can, and in a way so does "Plainly Difficult" but dude you just kill it every time, congrats on a million subs
I know I’m late but I’ve been binge watching your videos this week. When I heard those names I knew they sounded similar to historical figures we studied about in school (history class was a pain because of those same names). This is the first time hearing about this war, these people who stayed in Zanzibar were Omani. Oman has this huge influence on Zanzibar and they ruled over Zanzibar for some time. This story makes me question our history and what are the things they never told us in school. Nonetheless great story, I just love how overconfident they were😂
Then the fact that they felt bad and saved them lmao. Also raising the British flag while sinking is such immediate backpedaling after making a beeline for the ship
“War is awful and a major tragedy...now that I’ve said that I can make fun of it” best like yet love the vids it’s been a pleasure watching such a humble UA-camr like you grow into this legit UA-camr getting sponsored and everything this like legit makes me love history love your work man
It would’ve been cool if you somehow made this video 38 minutes long to really put in perspective that amount of time. And then you could’ve made a cool finishing statement on how we basically just sat through the duration of the war.
Hey Wendigoon! on this subject i recommend you talk about the "Batalla de Las Queseras del Medio" battle, where 150 venezuelan/colombian soldiers with spears manage to destroy a 1500 army with guns
Whats even more hilarious is that one salvo from the main battery of the St. George could have made it a 2 minute war cause there would be no palace and no ruler.
As a British person, I almost died laughing when you mentioned that the Brits charged them for ammunition that they fired at them 🤣 watched you for 2 months now and you're growing as now one of my favorites! Seen all your videos! 🎉

A movie about this war would be longer then the actual war lol
It would still be interesting to watch if they went the route of “Tora Tora Tora” where most of it is about the politics around it.
It’d fit the third act of a historical drama quite nicely though.
Personally this would make a great comedy. Have it be a parody of a dramatic retelling of all the events that lead up to the "war". Then, with all the gravitas of a real war movie, the captain gives the order to fire the first shot. Hard cut to a bunch of british soldiers standing in the rubble of the palace looking confused.

Yeah I wish this video was longer than yhsy war

Right I was hoping he'd make it 39 minutes long just so he could end it saying "and this video lasted longer than the war actually did"
Agreed 🤣
If it makes any difference, this video + the war = an hour
Why Wendigoon thinks people say he has history teacher vibes: dad shirts, whiteboard, beard, history facts.
Why people actually say he has history teacher vibes: “I’m not an artist” *draws on whiteboard*

Instead of gently throwing yourself on a car hood and pretending you got hit, you knock down a building and claim it got destroyed by straight up war.
