I always enjoy watching new Oversimplified videos. He always puts a lot of effort into his videos and they're always really interesting and hilarious to watch.
You're still one of the very few reaction channels that takes the time to look up things on screen. Filling in missing details that the related video misses, leaves out, or otherwise fills a gap.
Yes; even if I already know it, I enjoy watching other people learn something new, so I can see how they respond to just how batshit crazy or monumentally epic the past was in terms of what they were able to achieve.
Agrigentum was a pyrrhic victory from Rome. Fun fact, pyrrhic victories are named after the Greek King of Epirus, Pyrrhus who fought the Romans from 280-275 BC and won many battles against them but lost so many men doing so that it was hardly worth celebrating his success. Eventually, Rome began to get the upper hand and finally Pyrrhus left for Greece, leaving Rome the victor. Also fun fact, the Carthaginians and Romans fought together against Pyrrhus.
The Carthaginians (or "Punicus") were to the Roman Republic what England, with its likewise mastery of the seas and trade (second perhaps only to the Dutch, although the English would like to dispute that) to the American Colonies. And similarly enough to their respective historical precedents, the Romans/ Americans fought off the English/ Carthaginians. Though I believe the Romans took it a much more brutal step further by conquering the land that was Carthage's (I don't remember if the Americans ever took English land in conquest; I mean, you could argue that the colony that had formerly been established by England was taken from them, but if they seceded from England, first with the Articles of Confederation, followed by the more well-known Declaration of Independence, does it count as theft if the people living in that area don't want to be part of England; but I'm digressing, I'm sure America never took a piece of the English mainland or homeland). At the very least, they imposed heavy-handed terms on Carthage that made it difficult for them to function as a society (forcing them to pay immense reparations and allow Rome to Annex all of Sicily), so much so that it sparked a major though unsuccessful revolt in the Carthaginian Empire, because of their sudden inability to pay off their foreign mercenaries.
I was confused about the difference between romans and greeks at first too. I remember a girl in elementary school reading about the romans and I said "aren't they the same as greeks?" and she said "no they're not" thing is though. It's like looking back at the US and being like "aren't they the same as the british and the Europeans?" But no BUT they were born culturally from English and european culture though. Just as the romans were born from greek culture.
Romans, too hard headed to be defeated? The Carthaginian Army is like the Austro-Hungarian Army ... they aren't the same ethnicity or language. Romans were into clean, the baths and ... the Cloaca Maxima ... the first sewer in Rome, is still in operation. The very first inside running water and bath tub was much older, the palace of Knossos on Crete, in 1500 BCE. Ship rowers who were free-men were paid 1/2 drachma per day, about one pound in your money ;-) Yes, the Romans invented the Marines!

"Rome is the best civilization." "Is this the Greeks?" Good job man.
Geography clearly isn’t his strong point
In America "spunky" means audacious, not what it means in Britain.
I guess now I gotta look up what it means in Britain lol
@@ThePursoodm Man gravy. Also, we use just drop the 'y' and say spunk when we mean it like that.

That’s why I like watching these reactions after the actual video. The extra context/info is cool.
Plus he actually reacts instead of just sitting there staring at a screen saying absolutely nothing.

The Egyptians were the most powerful during the Bronze Age, in the Late Bronze Age in particular, from 1500 B.C. to about 1100 B.C.

Please react to "Cuban Goes to American Supermarket for the 1st time- Communism to Capitalism" by Yoel And Mari. Make sure you have subtitles on.
