    The split-up of Czechoslovakia is like a couple breaking up, but they still maintain a healthy friendship.

    From what I understand the Czechs and Slovaks were mostly unified for so long through necessity, even when they fall out on hard times dealing with No No Germans and Soviets, they were able to hold in long enough despite their differences. When there were no more enemies left, they both could feel their differences be more highlighted, but were still brothers in arms, so came to a peaceful split, which honestly seems to be a rare thing to see.
    it's honestly an interesting story.

    5:13 The British Empire didn’t even reach its greatest extent until 1920 so great point!

    10:36 that doesn't make sense, France and Germans are 2 completely different nations with very different language, traditions and history, whilst Czechs and Slovaks are very close nations in terms of these things, as a Czech I can very easily understand Slovaks without ever learning it, during the formation of Czechoslovakia, those languages were considered 1 language and 2 dialects, a morre fitting example would be let's say Norway and Sweden, or Turkey and Azerbaijdzan

    8:45 Luther was not the first to protest Papal corruption and practices. Others before him (The Waldensians, Lollards, and Hussites) preached the same things he did, but they didn’t have the advantage of the printing press on their side.

    In earlier times it was easier to transport an army by boat than land - that's why the British Isles were invaded lots of times before 1066.

    Technically we didn't lose Cuba nor the Philippines, both of them were commonwealth territories effectively speaking independent in internal affairs, but subservient to the US on foreign affairs Drew is also forgetting the fact we got Guam as a result of that conflict as well, which we likewise still have along with Puerto Rico.

    the second most influential thing after a navy and what is most overlooked by pop history due to political zeitgeist is after colonising a small section they built alot of infrastructure and attempted to develop the immediate area which other colonial powers did not focus on as much.
