Just a quick thank you for subscribing to my channel, making this video possible and ending 2019 on a great note! Hope you all have a wonderful holiday this Christmas!
“History isn’t a boring subject. It is a story. An epic drama with more twists and turns than anything fiction can produce.” Couldn’t have said it better myself
I'm 22 and started working as a screenwriter. Your channel made me appreciate History even more! In the end, movies and TV shows are stories full of emotions and excitement. Why can't it be full of reflection as well? History is not boring. History is a treasure - a beautiful (and often scary) treasure.
History isn't boring. It's just how you bring it and find what resonates with people. Something that apparently still seems very impossible at schools.
that is 100% true! as the old saying goes :" those who do not learn from history, are destined to repeat it to monstrous consequences and outcomes" so yes, History is not at all boring.
@@talmiz101 sadly I think most people out don't learn from history on reason I think it the way it taught in school I barely remember anything I learn form school because I didn't care enough
This channel is successful for lots of reasons, here's a few: 1. The videos are just really, really high quality; they're very professional and yet have the purity of being someone's labour of love and not just a job, and that's priceless. 2. The presenter conveys genuine enthusiasm, and not the fake excitement that's rife throughout UA-cam. Same goes for the humour, it comes across as one man's own sense of humour instead of pandering to an audience. 3. The commentary is very informative and salient, there's very little waffle and any little detours from the subject at hand always feel justified by the time its brought back on-topic. 4. The opinions given in the commentary demonstrate a consistent level of integrity that underline all of his work, and this makes the viewer trust the information source. 5. The format of the videos are such that you come to understand the subject matter the film is dealing with (enough), so feel more informed and included in the dissection of the historical accuracy that comes after. This is key, as without it, it could otherwise become aanother petty, boring, know-it-all video essay that UA-cam has plenty of already. One of the most heartening and uplifting things about this channel is the fact that it has been so successful, and this inspite of the infrequent uploads and tiny production team (virtual one man show). When I saw the tiny amount of videos, lack of clickbait, combined with the fact of it being a historical channel, specifically about historical films, and mostly 20 minute+ videos - I'd assumed it'd be doing well to have 100,000 subs. It blew me away that it has over 1.1. mil, what this shows us is that quality still trumps quantity. If you do something well, really well, with care, attention and passion, it's enough to win over a lot of people who aren't already 'History Buffs'. It's a timely reminder in an age of dumbed down content, short attention spans and on-tap entertainment consumption, that there's still no substitute for expertise and quality. Major props to you Nick and congrats on such a great milestone for your channel!
Miroslav Georgiev whatever gets people to watch. There was other good content that was more animal centric and beyond World War II. There’s just none of that today.
@@longforgotten4823 Oh, definitely true. I'm just saying that it was a running joke that that was all those channels ever showed for the first few years of their existence before they expanded into... whatever it is they're showing these days.
I bought Waterloo because of your video. Love the channel, I love the idea. Historical movies fill my top movies of all time and historical accuracy is important to me. Your videos are a real treat and I look forward to every one. Thank you.
There's also a huge rewatchability with the videos. Go a few weeks without watching a specific one and then put it back on not only for the renewed knowledge but the comedy and personality. Great channel I always show to my friends.
One thing that can make history seem off-putting is the need to memorize for a test or paper. That doesn't really let you feel like you're exploring the era correctly; it just becomes a hunt for specific information for tests or papers.
What makes this channel, Kings and Generals and the Great War channel (alongside it's World War II channel) so gosh darn popular and great for history people like myself is because you are keeping history alive while actual television stations of the same namesake abandons it's roots for...whatever they have got going on. I don't know how many times i lost count watching history videos in whatever shape and form because i enjoy it so damn much. That at times i do a marathon of it for the whole day without realizing it hahaha. So thank you to History Buffs, and other history channels here on UA-cam for keeping the subject of history alive and well.
I have a deep love for movies, history and story telling. You bring all three together perfectly! And as a bonus I always learn something new from your videos!
History Buffs is good because it brings something genuine, because it doesn't rush things out just for the sake of publication times, because you KNOW you can find good value in each and every one of the videos. It would be great if more channels did this; we would not have cluttering and we would have better overall quality. Thanks for your time and dedication!
It's not just the history, It's the way you take the Hollywood view of history to clarify and debunk it. Watching your videos, we can tell that you have a tremendous enthusiasm for both history and the movies about it. Your channel is both educational and fun to watch. Keep up the good work.
I get so excited every time you upload a new video!! By the way are you going to review of the WW2 movie Midway (2019)? If so when are you planning to release the video? Thx for making awesome content!!
Many years ago I learned that History isn't boring, but History Teachers ARE (often)... And you are NOT! Congrats on the milestone and may you prosper in the coming year(s)!
@@michaelmcchicken8199 I had 2 truly outstanding history teachers - who both instilled a love of the subject in me, but also a string of teachers who taught history out of a book, and who's main purpose at the school was to be a sports coach...
Those who do not learn from history are condemned to repeat it. And thankfully, there are plenty of talented, dedicated channels such as History Buffs to ensure that we will ALWAYS learn from history and its many, fascinating stories.
You're welcome, Nick! For the record, I haven't watched all of your videos... I've watched them all, some of them repeatedly! It's been a hobby of mine to see semi-historical movies and then research the hell out of them. I went as far as to read the congressional hearings on the sinking of the Titanic to understand the event's impact! Alas, I never thought to make a channel dedicated to pointing out the accurate and inaccurate in historical movies. You did, and I love it!
HiopX of course, we cannot give Africans the ability to build pyramids. Us in the modern era cannot seem to remember how it was done so we make improper assumptions. It’s not like the pyramid is a basic structure that humans recognize and build it all over the world for completely different purposes. No, the answer has to be aliens.
Congrats Mr. Hodgers on making a million subs. Say Nick, there are a few movies that, and shows that I, and probably other people would like to cover. 1. "John Adams" tv show by HBO about the life of the 2nd President of the United States. 2. "Downfall" or "Der Untergang" is a great movie about the last 10 days of Hitler and the Third Reich. 3. "Bury my heart at Wounded Knee" an HBO movie about the massacre of Wounded Knee. 4. "Hell on Wheels" a tv show by AMC about the construction of the U.S. trans-continental railroad. 5. "The Last Kingdom" by BBC, it's about England's first king Alfred the Great. 6. "Versailles" a tv show about the reign of King Louis XIV of France. 7. "Knightfall" a tv show by History channel about the fall of the Knights Templar. 8. "The Bastard Executioner" a tv show about the times of king Edward II of England, and medieval torture. 9. "The Day of the Siege: September 11th, 1683" a movie about the 2nd siege of Vienna by the Ottoman Empire . 10. "Fetih 1453" a movie about the siege and fall of Constantinople.
1. "Bolivar" a telenovela about the life of the Latin American independence leader Simon Bolivar 2. "Chernobyl" the HBO mini series about the Meltdown at Chernobyl. 3. "Argo" a movie about the hostage crisis in Iran from 1979 to 1980. 4. "Gods and Generals" the movie about the early years of the american civil war. 5. "Hacksaw Ridge" The movie about that famous WW2 medic Desmond Doss 6. "The Alamo" (the one from 1960 that has John Wayne) a movie about the 1836 Battle of the Alamo.
Nick I consider your channel to be among the best quality content channels on the whole of UA-cam. Every cinematic film, television movie or television series you talk about is a fantastic lesson in historical events and truths. Thank you very much indeed.
Suggestion for a future video: Chernobyl (Mini Series). Would love to see a video from you on it, at least down the road. Thanks for making excellent content!
History is fascinating. That's why I subscribed not only here, but Schologladitoria, Skallgrim, and Metatron. Congratulations on 1M subs. You deserve every single one.
love this passion this guy has for history. its damn near infectious how charismatic the reviews and history lesson are in each video. i dont even mind the infrequent uploads, cause when we do get one, its like an awesome surprise. i make room in my day just to sit down and enjoy it. love this channel
Congradulations..If anyone deserves it, it's you!!!!!! Of all the history shows I watch on youtube, I enjoy History Buffs the most!!!!!! Thank you so so so much for all the hard work you put into your FANTABULOUS content. I eagerly await your next video. You're just plain awsome and now on to 2 MILLION SUBSCRIBERS!!!!!!!
Congratulations! You guys deserve all the subs. And I'm here to stay, patiently waiting for the next video (very excited for the Elizabeth: Golden Age review btw).
The infrequency of your uploads only means that I am delighted whenever History Buffs does upload. It means, almost universally, that a quality video is there to feast upon. Here's to the next million subs! Congrats to all involved in this amazing channel.
I've always enjoyed history. I remember about 3-4 years back when I stumbled upon your Braveheart video because I was curious of the historical context and was blown away by your effort , production, and style. I'm not usually one to sit still for longer videos but every time you've released something I've set aside time (usually dinner haha) to watch. Doesn't matter if I knew the film or not, I was always curious thanks to your enthusiasm. You were one of the first channels I ever became a patron of as well because I realized you deserved all the support I could give and this 1mil is well deserved. Congrats Nick and crew! Here's to the next million! ♥️
@@ldsgermanshepherdboy9272 The true story behind Ford V Ferrari is actually pretty close to what the movie presented, they just spiced it up a little to make it more palatable for a general audience. I'd actually like to see a video on Steve McQueen's Grand Prix because that era of formula one is a fascinating era as it was by far the most dangerous era in the history of the sport due to the fact that speeds were increasing safety was nearly nonexistent and drivers were though of as expendable, the period between 1964 and 1969 is called "The Killer Years" by F1 historians for a reason.
You are most welcome! Thanks to you a million subscribers have a reliable source of commentary about movies based (sometimes) on history. Keep up the good work and we'll see how long it takes to get to two million!
There may be gaps between videos, Nick, but they are always worth the wait. I am never annoyed by the relative infrequency, but joyous when one pops up - always a very pleasant surprise. Your videos are high-quality, well-thought-out, well-researched, and extremely well-presented, and that's what draws us in. Nobody should be surprised by this well-deserved achievement of yours. Congratulations, and Merry Christmas.
Great Channel... A combination of fact and opinion presented in a really entertaining way. Informative, educational and thought-provoking analysis that's perfectly researched, scripted and delivered. Your 'style' as THE PRESENTER has the real 'ring' of 'The Enthusiast' about it, and really broadly appeals. Congratulations on one MILLION (plus???) subs!!! Keep up the excellent work, Nick! xx SF
I still remember that fateful day when you reviewed waterloo and then tora tora tora, I was then introduced to your lovely channel. Thank you for being amazing my man.
Congratulations! And history is in no way boring. An actor that was in Hamilton said that he used to use history class as a replacement since his school couldnt afford theater classes. That says it all. Also loved seeing Oversimplified and OSP in the scroll!
How anyone can say history is boring is beyond me. We have such a rich tapestry of events from the time man learnt to stand upright to where we are today. Looking at history, and especially ancient history, is like reading fantasy novels that are grounded in reality. History allows us not only to see into the lives of those long gone, but also gives us the chance to learn from our mistakes. Congrats on 1 Million subscribers, honestly can't think of a channel that deserves it more than you.
Hey , Ima early original subber who loved your presentation and STILL run your old beginning intro with your sister's string band's music BEFORE I watch anything you upload! Congrats mate!
History is the human story. Thank you so much Nick for creating this show, and to your team. Have been a faithful subscriber for over two years. I am always recommending your channel, and sharing your videos. Congratulations on this accomplishment; and appreciate the incredible and substantial content you produce!
Thank you so very much, honestly. I came by around a year ago, give or take some weeks, but it's been a delight, a pleasure, watching your reviews and comments on point about many, many movies we all history buffs enjoy. As you say, history is a magnificent story with so much twists and turns not even the best writer could think of. May you and your channel keep thriving and growing. Alea Jacta Est ✌🏻
This is one of the few channels that I recommend to my friends. I hate to brag but I am personally responsible for 4 to 6 of your subs. I accept your thanks you and offer you a thank you return. Don't get too excited but I'm 60% sure that I can get you 2.5 more subs in 2020.
History isn’t boring, especially when the truth is told. Way too many books and films are wrong because they don’t want to anger the people who want to be shown in a positive light. So many cultures are portrayed in such poor and negative ways. Thank you for showing the real truth and getting it right.
There’s a reason the phrase ‘History is stranger than fiction’ exists... why invent stuff, especially when it’s so out of place in the wider historical narrative? I also don’t understand why people have to ‘modernise’ or make history ‘relatable’... the human story is *eternally relatable*
When I was in school still I used to hate history with a passion. Watching channels like this one and playing games such as Hoi have really given me the kick in the butt I needed to learn all I could. I can't get enough history now, especially wartime history. Early WW2 is one of my favorite times to study with how new the concept was of armored combat and how to figure out how to integrate these new weapon systems into entrenched tactics held over from WW1.
History has always been my favorite subject, and your channel is my favorite when comparing History to Fiction! Congratulations on getting to a million!
Thank YOu! I survived cancer twice and lost half my face to amputation.. a tumor destroyed my jaw and changed everything.. I was labeled a freak. I decided to start over, and start a youtube channel to inspire others who feel ugly and not good enough for this world.. my scars will not define me. with positive projection you can overcome any mental or physical hurdle. go check me out and subscribe if you want to help me grow. i want to give people a spark of change and join me on my journey!
History is one of the most exciting disciplines of all time. Frankly, it is the discipline that unifies all disciplines together. You just have to find the right way to show it to the public. I am glad I am an academic historian.
Norman Wilson‘s book, a history in crisis shows how awesome the history is as a discipline. It is both an empirical science and a well practiced art form with literature and texts. It encompasses everything. How can that even be boring?
Nick congrats to you and the crew at History Buffs. Your channel deserves the follows it gets because you have a great way of looking at history, I have learned a lot from this channel. I have said it before Nick a lot of studios would do better for their product if they let you research it so they an tell the best story possible. I look forward to more fun and informative videos from the channel. Thanks a million.
Not only history isn't boring at all, but you make it even funnier. I couldn't say how much I've learned with your videos, and their quality justifies the waiting. Keep it up! Congrats and Happy Holidays!
Thank you History Buffs' team for the incredible work you all do on making the kind of content this platform deserves. Happy Christmas and a Happy New Year. xx
Thank You and Your Crew, for everything you do. To have things I believed either confirmed or redefined makes Us true believers of History as factual. Amazing channel and so happy when I watch History Buffs. ( Bows deeply and respectfully ).
That means you got one of those awesome GOLD trophies when reaching 1 MILLION!!! That is sooo cool man!! I remember stumbling on this channel when I wanted to see your views on Gladiator and then I instantly became converted. Thank you sooo much for making this channel and sharing your love and thoughts about history and historical movies, because you're right, The History Channel isnt what is used to be. It has grown in a reality show with a bunch of stupid conspiracy theory shows and "swamp people", which has nothing to do with history. This channel has stayed TRUE to history and thats why I always love tuning in. Sign one of your biggest fans, Peter!!!! A lover of Napoleonic history :) PS--- You should make one on 1917!!! loved that movie.
Congratulations to Nick and his little elves (researchers, editors, etc...) for this amazing milestone! One Million of us us seem to agree that it takes time to create something of quality. You guys keep up the good work, and Merry Christmas!
Congratulations Nick. Been with the channel since (nearly) the beginning. Always excellent content. Would like to see a breakdown of Timothée Chalamet's The King as I absolutely loved that film. Really impressed by the acting and dialogue, so would be interested in it's accuracy
It's true, it's frustrating how infrequently you upload new videos, but the fact that when you upload your videos are of such great quality, makes it worth the wait! Especially if it's about a movie I have never ever heard of in my life. So keep up the great work!
Your welcome Nick, History has always been one of my Favorite Subjects, for those who don't learn from History are Doomed to repeat it, and Happy Christmas.
I've been following your channel for years. And thanks to you, I've seen movies I've never even heard of. Thank you! More power to you, more videos and more viewers to come!
Honestly, this channel is underrated and, in my opinion, you should have at least 3mil if not more! I wouldn't have such a great knowledge of History today if it weren't for your channel and your amazing content. In my opinion, you should be remembered in History.
Thank you and your team so much for this channel Nick! Merry Christmas to you all! I admit, without you, so many great historical movies that you have reviewed or have yet to review would go almost completely unnoticed. Thank you so much!
History is just so easy to immerse yourself in and get lost in. You do a great job of conveying this and I eagerly await that next video. Thank you and your team for all they do, here's hoping for a million more.
HB is one of my favourite channels I'm subbed to. Because each video I get lost in the depth, detail and also explanation of historical events against some of the innacuracies of Hollywood.
You put a lot of effort into this channel Nick, and you output high quality, informative, entertainment. You deserve even more. I turned to the History Channel last night for the first time in years. What the hell happened? How sad.
Congrats, pal, you deserve it. Your channel is, in truth, one of the better ones. Much like another favorite channel of mine, LEMMiNO, you are educational, entertaining, and pure quality.
Firstly thank you for making these videos I find them so intresting and since I have a passion for history I do watch a lot of historical or sometimes not so historical films and it's great that you have reached a million subs and now I would like to ask you to consider doing a review on Midway and also The Irishman. Thanks again for such great videos and kept them coming.
I've always had an interest in history. Maybe it is because I never went to college so I didn't get a chance to study the more detailed subjects of history other than US and European history. There is so much more to know and learn about all over the world and I have used UA-cam to educate myself on other events in history. So Nick, you don't apologize for infrequent uploads. Quality takes time. Take your time and do it right. Thank you so much for educating me a bit about subjects I don't know much about and peaking my interest in those that I do.
It was just a view days ago that i learned of this chanel and i have been watching all the video's. It is nice to know that i am not alone with my love for history. Thank you for your entertainment, thank you for letting me feel part of this community where we all find history and storytelling one of the most beautiful things in this world. Thank you for saving my life.

And my son does too!!!
One thing that can make history seem off-putting is the need to memorize for a test or paper. That doesn't really let you feel like you're exploring the era correctly; it just becomes a hunt for specific information for tests or papers.
That's the results of poor teaching.
Teaching History should be akin to telling a compelling story, not a mess of learning random dates.
Trommari that seems to be a problem across the disciplines. History just gets the special treatment because administrators don’t like it.
What makes this channel, Kings and Generals and the Great War channel (alongside it's World War II channel) so gosh darn popular and great for history people like myself is because you are keeping history alive while actual television stations of the same namesake abandons it's roots for...whatever they have got going on.

Raging bull it's not a historical movie.
History is fascinating. That's why I subscribed not only here, but Schologladitoria, Skallgrim, and Metatron.
Congratulations on 1M subs. You deserve every single one.
love this passion this guy has for history. its damn near infectious how charismatic the reviews and history lesson are in each video. i dont even mind the infrequent uploads, cause when we do get one, its like an awesome surprise. i make room in my day just to sit down and enjoy it. love this channel
Congradulations..If anyone deserves it, it's you!!!!!! Of all the history shows I watch on youtube, I enjoy History Buffs the most!!!!!! Thank you so so so much for all the hard work you put into your FANTABULOUS content. I eagerly await your next video. You're just plain awsome and now on to 2 MILLION SUBSCRIBERS!!!!!!!
Congratulations! You guys deserve all the subs. And I'm here to stay, patiently waiting for the next video (very excited for the Elizabeth: Golden Age review btw).
The infrequency of your uploads only means that I am delighted whenever History Buffs does upload. It means, almost universally, that a quality video is there to feast upon. Here's to the next million subs! Congrats to all involved in this amazing channel.
I've always enjoyed history. I remember about 3-4 years back when I stumbled upon your Braveheart video because I was curious of the historical context and was blown away by your effort , production, and style. I'm not usually one to sit still for longer videos but every time you've released something I've set aside time (usually dinner haha) to watch. Doesn't matter if I knew the film or not, I was always curious thanks to your enthusiasm. You were one of the first channels I ever became a patron of as well because I realized you deserved all the support I could give and this 1mil is well deserved. Congrats Nick and crew! Here's to the next million! ♥️
UA-camrs are taking the risk that history channel abandoned years ago
Your right, history channel is not what it used to be.
@@ethanstang9941 Since the Internet took off, TV in general has declined.
Ya. Why do they even call themselves the history channel anymore?! They produce practically no history content nowadays.
Do Rush or Ford vs Ferrari!
I recommended Midway since that one's been out for a bit, but yeah, I would LOVE to see Ford Vs Ferrari too😁
@@ldsgermanshepherdboy9272
The true story behind Ford V Ferrari is actually pretty close to what the movie presented, they just spiced it up a little to make it more palatable for a general audience.
I'd actually like to see a video on Steve McQueen's Grand Prix because that era of formula one is a fascinating era as it was by far the most dangerous era in the history of the sport due to the fact that speeds were increasing safety was nearly nonexistent and drivers were though of as expendable, the period between 1964 and 1969 is called "The Killer Years" by F1 historians for a reason.
@@Hammerhead547 huh... interesting🤔
You are most welcome! Thanks to you a million subscribers have a reliable source of commentary about movies based (sometimes) on history. Keep up the good work and we'll see how long it takes to get to two million!
There may be gaps between videos, Nick, but they are always worth the wait. I am never annoyed by the relative infrequency, but joyous when one pops up - always a very pleasant surprise.
Your videos are high-quality, well-thought-out, well-researched, and extremely well-presented, and that's what draws us in. Nobody should be surprised by this well-deserved achievement of yours.
Congratulations, and Merry Christmas.
Great Channel... A combination of fact and opinion presented in a really entertaining way. Informative, educational and thought-provoking analysis that's perfectly researched, scripted and delivered. Your 'style' as THE PRESENTER has the real 'ring' of 'The Enthusiast' about it, and really broadly appeals. Congratulations on one MILLION (plus???) subs!!! Keep up the excellent work, Nick! xx SF
I still remember that fateful day when you reviewed waterloo and then tora tora tora, I was then introduced to your lovely channel. Thank you for being amazing my man.
Congratulations! And history is in no way boring. An actor that was in Hamilton said that he used to use history class as a replacement since his school couldnt afford theater classes. That says it all.
Also loved seeing Oversimplified and OSP in the scroll!
You are highly appreciated, Merry Christmas to all at History Buffs!
Hi, have you ever considered going to review Band of Brother's sister show, "The Pacific"?
Seriously Nick, congratulations on one million subscribers. Yours is one of my favorite channels, and one of my two favorite British UA-camrs.
How anyone can say history is boring is beyond me. We have such a rich tapestry of events from the time man learnt to stand upright to where we are today. Looking at history, and especially ancient history, is like reading fantasy novels that are grounded in reality. History allows us not only to see into the lives of those long gone, but also gives us the chance to learn from our mistakes.
Congrats on 1 Million subscribers, honestly can't think of a channel that deserves it more than you.
Hey , Ima early original subber who loved your presentation and STILL run your old beginning intro with your sister's string band's music BEFORE I watch anything you upload!
Congrats mate!
Yeah, that intro was epic.
History isn't A story, it's THE story, the story of everything
History is amazing, and your channel is one of my favorites on the site. Thank you Histoy Buffs!! On to 2 million!
Thank you sir. I don't know how many times your channel has helped me teach history for my children. Thank you so much and a Merry Christmas!!
Congrats! Cleopatra would be a good review.
History is the human story. Thank you so much Nick for creating this show, and to your team. Have been a faithful subscriber for over two years. I am always recommending your channel, and sharing your videos. Congratulations on this accomplishment; and appreciate the incredible and substantial content you produce!
Thank you so very much, honestly. I came by around a year ago, give or take some weeks, but it's been a delight, a pleasure, watching your reviews and comments on point about many, many movies we all history buffs enjoy. As you say, history is a magnificent story with so much twists and turns not even the best writer could think of. May you and your channel keep thriving and growing. Alea Jacta Est ✌🏻
This is one of the few channels that I recommend to my friends. I hate to brag but I am personally responsible for 4 to 6 of your subs. I accept your thanks you and offer you a thank you return. Don't get too excited but I'm 60% sure that I can get you 2.5 more subs in 2020.
Congrats
Getting from the US
my friends and I watch history buffs on a loop at work.
You are also my go to when I hit the gym keep it up.
History isn’t boring, especially when the truth is told. Way too many books and films are wrong because they don’t want to anger the people who want to be shown in a positive light. So many cultures are portrayed in such poor and negative ways. Thank you for showing the real truth and getting it right.
There’s a reason the phrase ‘History is stranger than fiction’ exists... why invent stuff, especially when it’s so out of place in the wider historical narrative?
I also don’t understand why people have to ‘modernise’ or make history ‘relatable’... the human story is *eternally relatable*
Do “The Iron Lady” and “Glory”!
Glory was a great movie that deserves the History Buffs treatment.
@@cathibewley8028 You are right about that, and I want him to do the History Buffs treatment for this telenovela called Bolivar.
When I was in school still I used to hate history with a passion. Watching channels like this one and playing games such as Hoi have really given me the kick in the butt I needed to learn all I could. I can't get enough history now, especially wartime history. Early WW2 is one of my favorite times to study with how new the concept was of armored combat and how to figure out how to integrate these new weapon systems into entrenched tactics held over from WW1.
History has always been my favorite subject, and your channel is my favorite when comparing History to Fiction! Congratulations on getting to a million!
Thank YOu! I survived cancer twice and lost half my face to amputation.. a tumor destroyed my jaw and changed everything.. I was labeled a freak. I decided to start over, and start a youtube channel to inspire others who feel ugly and not good enough for this world.. my scars will not define me. with positive projection you can overcome any mental or physical hurdle. go check me out and subscribe if you want to help me grow. i want to give people a spark of change and join me on my journey!
you’re welcome
Congratulations. This is one of the best and most entertaining channels on UA-cam. You deserve all of our support. Well done!
History is one of the most exciting disciplines of all time. Frankly, it is the discipline that unifies all disciplines together. You just have to find the right way to show it to the public. I am glad I am an academic historian.
Norman Wilson‘s book, a history in crisis shows how awesome the history is as a discipline. It is both an empirical science and a well practiced art form with literature and texts. It encompasses everything. How can that even be boring?
Please do an episode about Sharpe!
Citizens of Cadia and The Last Kingdom if we’re onto Cornwell
2 mill before 2021? 😳
Nick congrats to you and the crew at History Buffs. Your channel deserves the follows it gets because you have a great way of looking at history, I have learned a lot from this channel. I have said it before Nick a lot of studios would do better for their product if they let you research it so they an tell the best story possible. I look forward to more fun and informative videos from the channel. Thanks a million.
Not only history isn't boring at all, but you make it even funnier. I couldn't say how much I've learned with your videos, and their quality justifies the waiting. Keep it up! Congrats and Happy Holidays!
If history if boring, why would these movies exist in the first place?
Ladies and Gentlemen.
We did it.
And it's a good feeling too.
Thank you History Buffs' team for the incredible work you all do on making the kind of content this platform deserves. Happy Christmas and a Happy New Year. xx
Sometimes it's about Quality rather than Quantity.. some get the balance but I know that this is an Outstanding History Channel. Congratulations.
I really hope he does midway the 2019 movie.
Or 1917
Grubix or both
He Did!!
Quality Over quantity!
Because of your channel I have come to appreciate and enjoy historical content and movies. Thank you very much.
Thank You and Your Crew, for everything you do. To have things I believed either confirmed or redefined makes Us true believers of History as factual. Amazing channel and so happy when I watch History Buffs. ( Bows deeply and respectfully ).
"history is boring". Mhmmn , tell me more how the entire story of mankind is boring?
History is only boring to stupid people or people who don't believe that we can learn anything from the past.
dickhead at work: History is boring
same dickhead: My favourite movie is TItanic
Do HBO Chernobyl.
That means you got one of those awesome GOLD trophies when reaching 1 MILLION!!! That is sooo cool man!! I remember stumbling on this channel when I wanted to see your views on Gladiator and then I instantly became converted. Thank you sooo much for making this channel and sharing your love and thoughts about history and historical movies, because you're right, The History Channel isnt what is used to be. It has grown in a reality show with a bunch of stupid conspiracy theory shows and "swamp people", which has nothing to do with history. This channel has stayed TRUE to history and thats why I always love tuning in. Sign one of your biggest fans, Peter!!!! A lover of Napoleonic history :) PS--- You should make one on 1917!!! loved that movie.
Congratulations to Nick and his little elves (researchers, editors, etc...) for this amazing milestone! One Million of us us seem to agree that it takes time to create something of quality. You guys keep up the good work, and Merry Christmas!
Thanks for all you do Nick, found some great books and shows because of you. Your time and effort is appreciated.
Congratulations Nick. Been with the channel since (nearly) the beginning. Always excellent content. Would like to see a breakdown of Timothée Chalamet's The King as I absolutely loved that film. Really impressed by the acting and dialogue, so would be interested in it's accuracy
It's true, it's frustrating how infrequently you upload new videos, but the fact that when you upload your videos are of such great quality, makes it worth the wait! Especially if it's about a movie I have never ever heard of in my life. So keep up the great work!
Your welcome Nick, History has always been one of my Favorite Subjects, for those who don't learn from History are Doomed to repeat it, and Happy Christmas.
I've been following your channel for years.
And thanks to you, I've seen movies I've never even heard of.
Thank you! More power to you, more videos and more viewers to come!
Quality over quantity, Nick! Each video is so well done and thoroughly entertaining! Keep it up, and gratz on 1 million subs!!!
Congratulations on now having one million subscribers! And THANK YOU for creating a terrific UA-cam channel!
Honestly, this channel is underrated and, in my opinion, you should have at least 3mil if not more! I wouldn't have such a great knowledge of History today if it weren't for your channel and your amazing content. In my opinion, you should be remembered in History.
Thank you and your team so much for this channel Nick! Merry Christmas to you all! I admit, without you, so many great historical movies that you have reviewed or have yet to review would go almost completely unnoticed. Thank you so much!
History is just so easy to immerse yourself in and get lost in. You do a great job of conveying this and I eagerly await that next video. Thank you and your team for all they do, here's hoping for a million more.
HB is one of my favourite channels I'm subbed to. Because each video I get lost in the depth, detail and also explanation of historical events against some of the innacuracies of Hollywood.
You put a lot of effort into this channel Nick, and you output high quality, informative, entertainment. You deserve even more.
I turned to the History Channel last night for the first time in years. What the hell happened? How sad.
Congrats, pal, you deserve it.
Your channel is, in truth, one of the better ones. Much like another favorite channel of mine, LEMMiNO, you are educational, entertaining, and pure quality.
Firstly thank you for making these videos I find them so intresting and since I have a passion for history I do watch a lot of historical or sometimes not so historical films and it's great that you have reached a million subs and now I would like to ask you to consider doing a review on Midway and also The Irishman.
Thanks again for such great videos and kept them coming.
I've always had an interest in history. Maybe it is because I never went to college so I didn't get a chance to study the more detailed subjects of history other than US and European history. There is so much more to know and learn about all over the world and I have used UA-cam to educate myself on other events in history. So Nick, you don't apologize for infrequent uploads. Quality takes time. Take your time and do it right. Thank you so much for educating me a bit about subjects I don't know much about and peaking my interest in those that I do.
Thank YOU! The effort you and your team put on this vid is exceptional. Congratulations!
It was just a view days ago that i learned of this chanel and i have been watching all the video's. It is nice to know that i am not alone with my love for history. Thank you for your entertainment, thank you for letting me feel part of this community where we all find history and storytelling one of the most beautiful things in this world. Thank you for saving my life.
Found your channel from the stalin movie and was instantly hooked! Literally binge watched every episode in your catalog
