san pedro prison,a prison ruled by its inmates,different grp of inmate are ruled by elected inmate by other inmate and they have to distribute food and other thing by themself...thats a recipe for a constant conflicts if you ask me
A war that would rival the bloodiness of the Northern Crusade and the sheer brutality of the Mongol Conquests... Shit Potions. You ain't fucking around ain't ya
Well, in Germany it's taught as the biggest and most devastating conflict after the world wars. Maybe in English speaking countries it's lesser known since they hardly contributed to it.
The English Civil War took place at he same time, so it tend to suffer the same fate that all other wars that does not directly involving Britain/USA do.
This channel is so incredibly underrated. Your subscribers should be in the millions. Your voice is like sex to my ears. Your videos are both informative and original, and your graphic editing is spectacular. Keep up the great work.
norman berg you are 100% right about that. His subscribers are those individuals who wish to be informed, educated, and entertained. I hope the current issues and regulation adjustments from UA-cam doesn't threaten this channel. Unknown5 is a diamond in the rough.💎
Nicholas Novak I think the extremely click-baity titles discourage a lot of people who would enjoy this type of videos. At least, that's the case with me.
Trueee, I've only recently discovered his channel, and immediately subbed because the content is really amazing. Most 'educational' channels sacrifice accuracy, truth and detail in order to make short, quick 'sensational' videos that will pander to today's five second attention span society who will not sit through anything unless it has explosions, blood, and nudity. I'm really glad this guy isn't one of those view hungry 'Watchmojo' types, and that there are still UA-camrs that make content for content's sake.
Not many people know that Vlad "The Impaler" was a Romanian general who fought with thousands of his people to kill millions of invading Muslims. People just think of him as a vampire and Dracula. But people seem to not know that because of him the Muslims did not want to continue their advance through Romania and Greece.
Millions of ottomans, are youre insane? :D The sources speaks from 40 000 dead ottomans. What was a lot in this age. But its true that he win against a larger, better trained and better equipped army. But he impaled other christans too. And before his crusade he fight against hungary. He implaed priest and german traders, there were reasons why nobody helped him against the ottomans
Northern Crusades to Livonia were initially carried out by Sword Brothers, not Teutonic Order. They were only absorbed in TO after they got slaughtered at Saule in 1236 by Samogitians and Semigallians.
let them believe whatever they want to believe :) This channel and this clip has nothing to do with history, just cheap "did you know" videos with no substance.
The Lopez War (Paraguay vs 3 Larger Rivals) was a little known conflict. I first read about it and wrote a paper in the late 1960's. Most people know little or nothing of this horrid little chapter of South American war but is one of the most brutal conflicts of modern times. To think of what the Paraguayan forces went through is stomach churning. What devastation...
Both Argentina and Brazil had pretty much plotted their joint attack on Paraguay long before Lopez stupidly started the war, sucked in by their neigbours invasion of Uruguay. So you can say this was "the main cause", the cocky leader just provided the spark.
Arizona is my favorite state. i grew up in north carolina but had to travel cross country to washington state. definitely the best state we past though. oh new mexico was cool to :3
smg gam3r someone hacked my account. as you can see the responses are deleted and I did not do that. changed my password. losers have nothing better to do withtheir lives its sad.
Now if my teacher fails me im going to show him that chinese guy who failed the imperial test. Either you pass me or i will start a damn revolution in this shit
It's just so cliche to believe that only Americans are ignorant of history. How about all these people in Europe who support socialism? Do you think they understand the history and how many people were killed because of socialism/communism?
I don't know that the Thirty Years War is 'unknown', but its worth remembering yes. I appreciate the Paraguay one being done, that along with the Gran Chao war of theirs' in the 30s-couple brutal things that are very unknown of here. Nice job.
EvilBakaCat apparently they didn't.or I guess the yes be in the list.I doubled check the information in the video above and I must admit,its really accurate.btw ,he's mentioning the worst of them all.
5. The war of the triple alliance "WWI? That's not lesser known." Also known as the Great War "WHAT? WWI IS WELL KNOWN!" South America "WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!?!?" Paraguay "Oh."
I can't wait for your channel to blow up huge man. Thanks for another great upload and your audio is superb in this vid! Just the right amount of compression.
The Taiping heavenly revolt is not well known enough. Even Boxer Rebellion is better known. Well done on Qing pronunciation too I've heard much, much worse
There needs to be a TV miniseries or something like that about the 30 years war. the material is just great for TV. Wallenstein against the swedish lion.
Some classes in American schools do not cover this period, even though it was one of the most momentous conflicts in world history. I learned about the 30 Years' War in high school, though I found a book prior that briefly mentioned it.
While the Teutonic Order was pretty much beaten by Poland, it survived by converting to Protestantism and becoming the Duchy of Prussia. When they gained their independence from Poland they became the Kingdom of Prussia and had their great comeback. The dukes and kings of Prussia were the descendants of the last Grand Master and eventually the Emperors of Germany, all the way to World War 1. And if you want to imagine the 30 Years War, take any post apocalyptic movie and add swords. Minus zombies, when necessary.
The last topic was chosen perfectly, great thanks to the creator. And still I think that the factor of solid united force creation( duchy of Lithuania) seems a bit overlooked. It took a great effort and knowledge of leaders to not just create opposing force, but to comprise lands of primitive tribes into monolithic country strong enough to resist the enemy. So that's what makes the establishment of lithuanian country unique. Again huge thanks :)
Rubens Dalamaria Cirilo Ele diz que o Brasil invadiu o Uruguai e que depois o Paraguai invadiu o Brasil. Ele nunca disse que o Brasil invadiu o Paraguai primeiro...
gethsoftware They don't really want to convert to a religion that invaded their homes and slaughtered their family. Thats why the teutons are the evil ones in this crusade.
By hit and run tactics, while the TO frequently gave away opportunities to gain upperhands, but finding it dishonourable to do things like suprise attacks. The battle at Tannenburg whas largely lost by Ulrich von Jungingen because of him being just a little to eager to show his über knightliness, while his older brother Konrad in previous decades kicked Lithuanian ass left and right in much the same manner. Dont know how the TO made the list though. They where kinda nice compared to much else going on in world history. Like children of dead enemies/heathens being compulsary adopted and put trough school etc.
Thats why they lost ALL of their Baltic coastline and the size of Holland and Belgium land inwards to combine east-Prussia with allied Latvia. The TO had decades of kicking Lithuanian ass momentum and took ALL the parts they had set their eyes on. Lithuania whas a huge land area back then and they could easily retreat in to the rest of it. The TO never had the manpower to endulge in to conquering largely unremarkable and economically unprofitable dangerous woodlands. Not with other powers in their backs and on top of them. They rather had crusader tourism of sorts where Euro nobles could go on some raids vs the pagans, but they didnt really try to conquer all of Lithuania when the TO had the momentum. And Lithuania only started ass kicking when they converted to Christianity and became the bitch of Poland, giving up their Religion and political independence. Not saying Lithuanians where not good fighters. I have lots of respect for them. But knights of that Kind where no joke, the TO had staunch Baltic allied fighters on their side and the administrating and rulership of the TO where one of the best in history(largely based on merits). So all went as expected. Lithuania had no chance when the TO whas trying and on ist height, but in the end lost out against numbers and enemies teaming up.
Should have mentioned about #1 that the teutonic order was the predecessor of Prussia which was in turn the predecessor of the German Empire. It was this very prussian militarism which we can blame for the World Wars.
From Black Adder, who knows a lot more about history than you do:" George, the British Empire at present covers a quarter of the globe, while the German Empire consists of a small sausage factory in Tanganyika. I hardly think that we can be entirely absolved of blame on the imperialistic front."
I'm proud to say that #1 failed, and the Baltic people still retain their 3000 year old traditions to this day! None of the European empires, Nazis or Soviets, were able to take away our identity.
But since the aim of the Teutonic knights was to convert pagans, how can you say that they failed in that? Also the old Prussians lost their ethnic identity completely.
Most of estonians are still pagans. 5 000 catolics, no more. Maybe max 40 000 protestants. Nobody believes in your jewish desert god. your faith is abandoned here.
I don't recall saying any of that, but I'll put it this way: if none of those other excuses to kill each other existed, people would still kill one another over religion just as if they were being dressed in red and blue like you said. Being apologetic to one reason for war doesn't undo or discredit another.
Religion is a bi-product of human nature. A man not wielding it can't convince another man that a killing was justified because god said so, and can't tell a murderer his conscience is clear so long as he repents. I said religion was a tool, not the actual perpetrator.
Wrong on two accounts, buddy. I believe in god. Nothing wrong with that, but organized religion sets precedents for people that on one account tell them not to kill, but forgive them for doing so or even claim to justify it in the name of their god. The crusades and the thirty years war were enabled by christians saying "well, we know our tentants say not to kill...but our brothers can forgive eachother and this slaughter is justified." You don't think these sound like men who are being deceived? Confused? On one hand being taught mercy, and then being handed the sword by the church? The deceived never know they're being deceived; they think they're doing the right thing.
barking gamer The leaders of ISIS etc, probably do it for power and wealth, than God.however, their followers, are people who are mispleased in life, perhaps poor or hanging out with the wrong people, and find comfort in religion, and turned to extremist, and fight for religion.
Love the picture you showed at 15:25. It's a culturally important painting in Denmark, which shows the time at the battle where our national flag "Dannebrog" allegedly fell from the sky as a sign that we would win the battle. We Danes are very proud of our flag and use it whenever we can. Such as at birthdays where it's often used all over the decorations, as well as on our Christmas trees on Christmas. Any shop which celebrates its anniversary or birthday also use the flag. So does every marriage, baptism of a newborn, burials. Basically any celebration or mourning we have, uses the flag. Our flag, currency and culture are all 3 some we are very proud of.
barking gamer I don't think you read what I said - WTC SEVEN. Not the Twin Towers (WTC 1 & 2). WTC 7 was NOT hit by any plane. Just watch the collapse footage.
Good stuff channel......I/we/most of us know about all these conflicts, but thanks for trying to go into a little more detail and not just regurgitating other stuff.
Top 5 and Top 10 lists are often the bane of youtube, but your vids remain informative, and often contain fairly unknown historical facts, so keep raising the bar! Good stuff. I found oiut that I had Teutonic ancestors in the northern crusades, and at the same time I'm playing the Witcher series. Anyone notice the similarities between the Northern Crusades and the wars going on in the Witcher series? Cool stuff. Also, sorry Baltic States for pwning you guys so hard back then. You got your lands back, and my people lost Koenigsburg forever. Oh welps, just chilling here in Australia now.
My Hometown of Blieskastel was by the end of the Thirty Years War completely depopulated. Some little villages that had been kind out of the way in the Forest had a few people left. I read once an account by a Capuchin Monk where he listed the survivors. It went something like this, 3 Adults, 2 Children, 1 Goat, 1 pig, 1 goose, 2 ducks and 4 chickens were found alive in 1648 after the Peace Treaty.
Your video's are a joy to watch and your commentary and material is excellent! Thank you. If I may suggest an idea, what about individuals who have killed the most people in history, I mean soldiers or warriors or whoever...who have killed the most with their own two hands.

the battle of schrute farms
Canada vs US men's hockey 2010 Vancouver Olympics
The Armenian genocide... Oops I just got banned from Turkey.

I have never, and never will, put a dollar in a water vending machine.
Epic! That one was truly epic.
Who won?
A war that would rival the bloodiness of the Northern Crusade and the sheer brutality of the Mongol Conquests... Shit Potions. You ain't fucking around ain't ya
Respect for Paraguay for surviving such a brutal war.
Lil Pump
They still have not really recovered.
GhostBear3067 Same with Ireland after the British caused famine
Based Savage a war they didn’t have to fight
There are many paths to victory.
More people died in the Battle of Gettysburg than the there were men in the Paraguay army at that time.
Insane props
Not even 17min after upload on a 17min video and already one dislike. That guy is dedicated to hating
he skipped to see any mention of Muslims but didn't find any so he dropped a dislike LOL.
OkInsanity don't derail
OkInsanity Amen
Hate is a big word
Just because that person disliked something
Doesn't mean it's hating
Fuckig idiot lol
These aren't lesser known conflicts.
You forgot the battle at Schrute farms

lmao ..Dwight
shaun williams damn fools how could they?
shaun williams lolololol
shaun williams perfect comment!
Bears, beats, battle star Galactica
you forgot the "war of the ant hill" named after the land it was fought on, 100 million ants and various other creatures died in a afternoon
What? lol
Spencer Lenz the integration showed that even ants know diplomacy
Have the Greens Party of Australia pressed to get a monument to the senselessly slain ants yet (and the voting age lowered) ...?
100 million is a gross overestimation. Ant colonies are not that large
30 years war? lesser known?
Махамбет Мамыров to the average person yes, They don't really teach history like they used to.
Well, in Germany it's taught as the biggest and most devastating conflict after the world wars. Maybe in English speaking countries it's lesser known since they hardly contributed to it.
Yeah, I was quite shocked to see it on the list. It's a massively important war in Western history, and hardly "lesser known".
I wouldn't call it lesser known but in America we don't really learn much about it unless we are in Advanced Placement classes.
The English Civil War took place at he same time, so it tend to suffer the same fate that all other wars that does not directly involving Britain/USA do.
Brilliant video

#2 "Fuck you dad!" the war
haahahaahaa
TheBacknblack92 *slow clapping*
True
Not many people know that Vlad "The Impaler" was a Romanian general who fought with thousands of his people to kill millions of invading Muslims. People just think of him as a vampire and Dracula. But people seem to not know that because of him the Muslims did not want to continue their advance through Romania and Greece.
Romania and Vienna were as important for pushing them back as the Frank's.
A couple thousands, not millions
It was tbh the Poles who pushed them back as Vienna would have fallen and so would europe if the poles hadnt come
Thomas Bright
Vlad is best known for having impaled his Christian rivals.
He was decapitated by the Ottomans and his head was exposed to Istanbul ...
Millions of ottomans, are youre insane? :D
The sources speaks from 40 000 dead ottomans. What was a lot in this age.
But its true that he win against a larger, better trained and better equipped army.
But he impaled other christans too. And before his crusade he fight against hungary. He implaed priest and german traders, there were reasons why nobody helped him against the ottomans
The 80 year war (which wasn't really 80 years long) between the Netherlands and Spain is also a lesser known conflict.
FatFuckGuyFieri It was more like 87 years, wasn't it?
Wisemankugel Memicus Of Kekistan That was the "100 years war" I believe
Giostino Corbo That was 106 Years Long.
FatFuckGuyFieri you are kidding right??
the 80 years war also encompused the 30 years war as well after a 19 year truce after 50 years of war. so the 80 years war is in two parts.
owwwn! You spoke about the paraguayan war!
Northern Crusades to Livonia were initially carried out by Sword Brothers, not Teutonic Order. They were only absorbed in TO after they got slaughtered at Saule in 1236 by Samogitians and Semigallians.
let them believe whatever they want to believe :) This channel and this clip has nothing to do with history, just cheap "did you know" videos with no substance.

To think of what the Paraguayan forces went through is stomach churning. What devastation...
randy95023 all cause of a cocky leader. Now we have North Korea.
Both Argentina and Brazil had pretty much plotted their joint attack on Paraguay long before Lopez stupidly started the war, sucked in by their neigbours invasion of Uruguay.

Ah yes, the war where emus beat the aussies
Love your videos
Now if my teacher fails me im going to show him that chinese guy who failed the imperial test.

The Baltic Crusades is more brutal than the Crusades in the Holy Land
Avernal79 technically they failed. they took the lands, but our people still thrive.
As Christians... so they din't fail.
Temple of uppsala is mostly most definitely moist propaganda
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albigensian_Crusade
The Albigensian Crusade was even more brutal. "Kill them all; God will know his own."
Yes. The Northern Crusades also include the Swedish conquest of Finland.
Well, I've watched the entire channel.
and became dumber because of that. I am sorry.
@@MegaRagingBunny you should be sorry
MegaRagingBunny this is bullshit!
There are some lesser known videos
Hi! Really like the longer historical videos. The narration and images lets my imagination take off. Very relaxing and interesting content!
I honestly don't know why this channel hasn't got more than a 100k subs by now
I'm just now realizing how little I actually know about our (bloody) history. This extremely educative, thank you. Keep it up!
"5 most brutal lesser known conflicts for USA's People"
oh
Thank you for acknowledging that only the United States and our opinion matters ;)
You're welcome
Gerard, sounds like a British name. We already beat you guys asses once. Don't make history repeat itself.
It's just so cliche to believe that only Americans are ignorant of history. How about all these people in Europe who support socialism? Do you think they understand the history and how many people were killed because of socialism/communism?
Awesome video! I'm from Paraguay so love hearing stories about it the war! Especially since most people don't know the story! Keep up the good work :)
The Thirty Years War is "lesser known"?
never heard about it until this video
I didn't even know what the hell that was until I clicked on this
In America, yes
Appreciate the amount of detail you put into these videos for a list comprised of only 5 topics. Underrated if you ask me.
Seems nothing short of a miracle humanity exists today...
What about the australian - Emu war?
Velox Fut lel
Shh.
I don't know that the Thirty Years War is 'unknown', but its worth remembering yes. I appreciate the Paraguay one being done, that along with the Gran Chao war of theirs' in the 30s-couple brutal things that are very unknown of here. Nice job.
So we're just going to ignore how the Islamic empires went around wiping everyone out in asia/india?
EvilBakaCat apparently they didn't.or I guess the yes be in the list.I doubled check the information in the video above and I must admit,its really accurate.btw ,he's mentioning the worst of them all.

EvilBakaCat unfortunately Christianity did far worse...

I love your Channel man
Really? You add the thirty years war to the unknown conflicts wtf! How much of a savage does one has to be to not know about this war?
There needs to be a TV miniseries or something like that about the 30 years war. the material is just great for TV. Wallenstein against the swedish lion.
I swear my history class went from Rome. To describing feudalism. Then straight on to Napoleon and Columbus and the new world.
Gloryseeking Spaceman Mine too. I had to self educate.
Some classes in American schools do not cover this period, even though it was one of the most momentous conflicts in world history. I learned about the 30 Years' War in high school, though I found a book prior that briefly mentioned it.
Congrats on 200k you deserve it
All wars are fought in the name of god spelled G.O.L.D
You are awesome! I love the ones everyone else hasn't covered a million times.
While the Teutonic Order was pretty much beaten by Poland, it survived by converting to Protestantism and becoming the Duchy of Prussia. When they gained their independence from Poland they became the Kingdom of Prussia and had their great comeback. The dukes and kings of Prussia were the descendants of the last Grand Master and eventually the Emperors of Germany, all the way to World War 1.
And if you want to imagine the 30 Years War, take any post apocalyptic movie and add swords. Minus zombies, when necessary.
You mean..beating by Lithuania? They did most of the heavy lifting.
+Dima S Teutonic order died by lithuanian and polish hand
this channel is amazing great job man
15:35 and the danish flag was born =D
Just saw this video!Thanks allot great video!
The last topic was chosen perfectly, great thanks to the creator. And still I think that the factor of solid united force creation( duchy of Lithuania) seems a bit overlooked. It took a great effort and knowledge of leaders to not just create opposing force, but to comprise lands of primitive tribes into monolithic country strong enough to resist the enemy. So that's what makes the establishment of lithuanian country unique. Again huge thanks :)
Thanks for this video! I learned a lot!
Excuse me, but Thirty years war DID NOT start in Germany but in Bohemia... just a wee important detail.
To be fair, Bohemia was a part of The Holy Roman Empire, and prety much german.
Bohemia, or Czech, completely unrelated to German, but part of the not Holy, not Roman, not Empire Holy Roman Empire.
Yea but Bohemia was a part of the German Holy Roman Empire, and under habsburg control
Habsburgs were initially a Austria's family.
Dima S actually their birth or first trackable feud was in switzerland, the Habichtsburg.
I had heard, but knew little about Paraguai's war with Brazil (and Uruguai) and Argentina. Paraguai has my respect.
The 30-year war is a "lesser known conflict"? Lol.
Im a big fan of these kinda videos nicely done
Lesser known conflicts: The Thirty Year's War.. yeah, so unknown.. xD
W4tch0ut I have only met like 1 other person in my physical travels that knows of that conflict. English speaking world is largely ignorant of it.
good video thank you.
it seems many faiths that wants to convert unwilling people ... karma comes back full circle .....
Great video man, keep it up.

"Brazil invaded paraguay"
Wrong, Paraguay attacked Brazil twice before Brazil counter attacked
Rubens Dalamaria Cirilo Ele diz que o Brasil invadiu o Uruguai e que depois o Paraguai invadiu o Brasil. Ele nunca disse que o Brasil invadiu o Paraguai primeiro...
Thank you for this video.
Allot of Respect for Lithanian pagans. They chose death over being forced to abandon the faith of their forefathers.
gethsoftware They don't really want to convert to a religion that invaded their homes and slaughtered their family. Thats why the teutons are the evil ones in this crusade.
Lykos Lt yeah but they looked badass
oh good for them they died in their sins.... You idiot.... their forefathers are the same patriarchs as the Christians
This was a very well made video/slideshow commentary
Where is The Deluge?

TEUTONIC KNIGHTS!!! HELL YEAH!
Master Sethern i have to admitt that tevtons had cool aesthetics
There you go, man!
Doing it with 400 or so knights is the bad ass part...
By hit and run tactics, while the TO frequently gave away opportunities to gain upperhands, but finding it dishonourable to do things like suprise attacks.

Thats why they lost ALL of their Baltic coastline and the size of Holland and Belgium land inwards to combine east-Prussia with allied Latvia. The TO had decades of kicking Lithuanian ass momentum and took ALL the parts they had set their eyes on.
Lithuania whas a huge land area back then and they could easily retreat in to the rest of it. The TO never had the manpower to endulge in to conquering largely unremarkable and economically unprofitable dangerous woodlands. Not with other powers in their backs and on top of them.
They rather had crusader tourism of sorts where Euro nobles could go on some raids vs the pagans, but they didnt really try to conquer all of Lithuania when the TO had the momentum.
And Lithuania only started ass kicking when they converted to Christianity and became the bitch of Poland, giving up their Religion and political independence.
Not saying Lithuanians where not good fighters. I have lots of respect for them. But knights of that Kind where no joke, the TO had staunch Baltic allied fighters on their side and the administrating and rulership of the TO where one of the best in history(largely based on merits). So all went as expected. Lithuania had no chance when the TO whas trying and on ist height, but in the end lost out against numbers and enemies teaming up.
GREAT VIDEO................
Should have mentioned about #1 that the teutonic order was the predecessor of Prussia which was in turn the predecessor of the German Empire. It was this very prussian militarism which we can blame for the World Wars.
Andrej Chernysh If you honestly blame the then German empire for either of the world wars you need to do more research on how world war one started.
From Black Adder, who knows a lot more about history than you do:" George, the
British Empire at present covers a quarter of the globe, while the German
Empire consists of a small sausage factory in Tanganyika.
I hardly think that we can be entirely absolved of blame on the
imperialistic front."
The prussian militarism was one of the most important reasons for WW1, not its only one.
dude, you took that Entente pill hard, The Great War started because of the numerous alliances dragging multiple countries into a war
Sir, I already corrected myself: It was only one of the reasons for WW1, not its only one.
I'm proud to say that #1 failed, and the Baltic people still retain their 3000 year old traditions to this day! None of the European empires, Nazis or Soviets, were able to take away our identity.
How so? Are there still pagans in the Baltic?
MacX1985 No, but we still hold a lot of old traditions, but not religion, after the conversion lithuanians couldn't care less in what you believed.
But since the aim of the Teutonic knights was to convert pagans, how can you say that they failed in that? Also the old Prussians lost their ethnic identity completely.
Sounds a lot like LARPING. Like those Skandinavians and Germans who go full "Odin etc." and British and French roleplaying as celtic druids.
Most of estonians are still pagans. 5 000 catolics, no more. Maybe max 40 000 protestants. Nobody believes in your jewish desert god. your faith is abandoned here.
If the devil exists, there are few tools better for setting men upon one another than organized religion.
They definitely do those things, but they also factionalize and segregate themselves via faith.
I don't recall saying any of that, but I'll put it this way: if none of those other excuses to kill each other existed, people would still kill one another over religion just as if they were being dressed in red and blue like you said. Being apologetic to one reason for war doesn't undo or discredit another.
Religion is a bi-product of human nature. A man not wielding it can't convince another man that a killing was justified because god said so, and can't tell a murderer his conscience is clear so long as he repents. I said religion was a tool, not the actual perpetrator.
Wrong on two accounts, buddy. I believe in god. Nothing wrong with that, but organized religion sets precedents for people that on one account tell them not to kill, but forgive them for doing so or even claim to justify it in the name of their god. The crusades and the thirty years war were enabled by christians saying "well, we know our tentants say not to kill...but our brothers can forgive eachother and this slaughter is justified."
You don't think these sound like men who are being deceived? Confused? On one hand being taught mercy, and then being handed the sword by the church? The deceived never know they're being deceived; they think they're doing the right thing.
Great channel.Could you consider putting dates and names on the selected moments?For visual remembrance?
4thcrusade.exe
love it keep it up
"Lesser Known Conflicts In History" 30 year war LMAO, probably one of the biggest and most popular wars in european history
fascinating, well done,
I THOUGHT THE VIDEO WAS CALLED BRUTAL BROCK LESNER FIGHTS XD
Yolo Swaggins haha. I wouldve clicked on that notification so fucking fast if it was.
Swissie94 yeah lol
Yolo Swaggins no Just "Darude Sandstorm" Lyrics.
I really like seeing portrait painting of guys in full plate and those frilly collars. Badass facial hair always accompanies the paintees.
lot of suffering for religion...
Although at thesame time, most of these religious wars and conflicts probably was sparked by another reason.
Emil Johansson exactly
iconoclastwar it's always about religion, even today
barking gamer The leaders of ISIS etc, probably do it for power and wealth, than God.however, their followers, are people who are mispleased in life, perhaps poor or hanging out with the wrong people, and find comfort in religion, and turned to extremist, and fight for religion.
Yeah, but religion is a great recruiting tool. And the ones fighting are doing it for their religion.
Love the picture you showed at 15:25. It's a culturally important painting in Denmark, which shows the time at the battle where our national flag "Dannebrog" allegedly fell from the sky as a sign that we would win the battle. We Danes are very proud of our flag and use it whenever we can. Such as at birthdays where it's often used all over the decorations, as well as on our Christmas trees on Christmas. Any shop which celebrates its anniversary or birthday also use the flag. So does every marriage, baptism of a newborn, burials. Basically any celebration or mourning we have, uses the flag. Our flag, currency and culture are all 3 some we are very proud of.
i would wish that you also do a coverage of how the British starved 25 million Indian people to death during World War 2
yes because an indian person is the one to give an unbiased opinion about the british RAJ. btw why would britain not be able to fight britain?
You got Cricket, tea and a much depleted Tiger population.
Stop your whinging.
@@Elephantstonica
And railways!
You've uploaded so much recently, loving it!
For the next video, you should do '5 reasons that 9/11 was an inside job'. (I want to see brainwashed haters get triggered.)
lmao
A Hacon I hope you are joking because otherwise you have been brainwashed by the internet
barking gamer if you understand physics, you'll know that WTC 7 SHOULDN'T have collapsed. There's one reason right there.
A Hacon it got hit by a airliner flying at 1220km/hr, no building was or is built to withstand such an impact
barking gamer I don't think you read what I said - WTC SEVEN. Not the Twin Towers (WTC 1 & 2). WTC 7 was NOT hit by any plane. Just watch the collapse footage.
Good stuff channel......I/we/most of us know about all these conflicts, but thanks for trying to go into a little more detail and not just regurgitating other stuff.
I skipped 4 and 2. Asian conflicts are boring.
Night Stalker935 yeah fuck those fish looking people
"fishing looking people" XD
there is one brewing right now, is that boring to you ?
it might pay looking up Asian history
That SJW butthurt tho
Top 5 and Top 10 lists are often the bane of youtube, but your vids remain informative, and often contain fairly unknown historical facts, so keep raising the bar! Good stuff. I found oiut that I had Teutonic ancestors in the northern crusades, and at the same time I'm playing the Witcher series. Anyone notice the similarities between the Northern Crusades and the wars going on in the Witcher series? Cool stuff. Also, sorry Baltic States for pwning you guys so hard back then. You got your lands back, and my people lost Koenigsburg forever. Oh welps, just chilling here in Australia now.
The war between the coal miners, mining companies and the US army. Look into it, it is really interesting
great video
My Hometown of Blieskastel was by the end of the Thirty Years War completely depopulated.
Some little villages that had been kind out of the way in the Forest had a few people left.
I read once an account by a Capuchin Monk where he listed the survivors.
It went something like this, 3 Adults, 2 Children, 1 Goat, 1 pig, 1 goose, 2 ducks and 4 chickens were found alive in 1648 after the Peace Treaty.

Nasty business.
Your video's are a joy to watch and your commentary and material is excellent! Thank you.
If I may suggest an idea, what about individuals who have killed the most people in history, I mean soldiers or warriors or whoever...who have killed the most with their own two hands.
Great video - extremely educational, and a great reminder of how humanity is nothing but a blight on the planet.
68k subs? You deserve more. Great content, very interesting, really enjoying your videos.Good job.
King Phillip's War definitely deserves a mention here.
a high quality channel.
Nice video.
I like your voice man👍👍
