I started this then went to the site heavy R before finishing this, when I came back to this video it was probably the happiest I’ve ever been watching a hearts of iron video
Why did unmodified France and Britain fail while Hungary and Romania succeeded? Well there are a few reasons for this. First of all The AI is terrible at dealing with a situation where they own land in many parts of the world. Often sending troops to defend useless bits of African or Asian land instead of keeping them in the mainland where they're actually needed. So two nations without colonial possessions have a better chance of success due to actually keeping all their troops in their own country. Second of all France and Britain are democracies so they don't take land when they win against nations that don't join a faction, instead they puppet them or force them into being a democracy and otherwise leave them alone, which is fine and dandy if your new Allies member has time to build up, but if you're at war with the whole world that puppet is going to get murdered before they become useful. And, number three is that France sucks. They have near China levels of negatives to go along with their seemingly purposely bad AI.
Hmm I'm getting recommended these old videos since I started watching hoi and other such series. Very interesting to see how he was back then and how he evolved
Found your channel about a week ago and you’ve quickly become one of the 3 channels I have running for hours on end up there with Jacksepticeye and Markiplier.

It's cute watching him be so excited about his 5k likes and 75k subscribers isnt it :) Maybe one day he'll be successful enough to move off of the awful Yorkshire stuff and start drinking some nice Tetley or Twinings :)
Scotland has historically not been part of the UK. the modern stuff was formed from Britain annexing Wales, signing a treaty with Scotland, and negotiating the independence of Ireland.

Arise, children of the Fatherland,
The day of glory has arrived!
Against us tyranny
Raises its bloody banner
Do you hear, in the countryside,
The roar of those ferocious soldiers?
They're coming right into your arms
To cut the throats of your sons and women!
To arms, citizens,
Form your battalions,
Let's march, let's march!
Let the impure blood
Water our furrows!
What does this horde of slaves,
Of traitors and conjured kings want?
For whom are these vile chains,
These long-prepared irons?
Frenchmen, for us, ah! What outrage!
What fury must it arouse!
It is us they dare plan
To return to the old slavery!
To arms, citizens,
Form your battalions,
Let's march, let's march!
Let the impure blood
Water our furrows!
What! Foreign cohorts
Would make the law in our homes!
What! These mercenary phalanxes
Would strike down our proud warriors!
Great God! By chained hands
Our brows would yield under the yoke
Vile despots would have themselves
The masters of our destinies!
To arms, citizens,
Form your battalions,
Let's march, let's march!
Let the impure blood
Water our furrows!
Tremble, tyrants and you traitors
The shame of all parties,
Tremble! Your parricidal schemes
Will finally receive their reward!
Everyone is a soldier to fight you
If they fall, our young heroes,
The earth will produce new ones,
Ready to fight against you!
To arms, citizens,
Form your battalions,
Let's march, let's march!
Let the impure blood
Water our furrows!
Frenchmen, as magnanimous warriors,
Bear or hold back your blows!
You spare those sorry victims,
Who arm against us with regret.
But not these bloodthirsty despots,
These accomplices of Bouillé,
All these tigers who, mercilessly,
Rip their mother's breast!
To arms, citizens,
Form your battalions,
Let's march, let's march!
Let the impure blood
Water our furrows!
Sacred love of the Fatherland,
Lead, support our avenging arms
Liberty, cherished Liberty,
Fight with your defenders!
Under our flags, shall victory
Hurry to thy manly accents,
That your expiring enemies,
See your triumph and our glory!
To arms, citizens,
Form your battalions,
Let's march, let's march!
Let the impure blood
Water our furrows!
We shall enter the (military) career
When our elders are no longer there,
There we shall find their dust
And the trace of their virtues
Much less keen to survive them
Than to share their coffins,
We shall have the sublime pride
Of avenging or following them
Children, let Honour and Fatherland
be the object of all our wishes!
Let us always have souls nourished
With fires that might inspire both
Let us be united! Anything is possible;
Our vile enemies will fall,
Then the French will cease
To sing this fierce refrain:
To arms, citizens,
Form your battalions,
Let's march, let's march!
Let the impure blood
Water our furrows!
No,

13:15 and Britain decides to take a casual strole to the OTHER END OF ASIA...
13:45 you can hear him notice ^that^
I noticed that too, I couldn't stop laughing as it happened, Spiff commenting on it made it that much better.
Spiffing Brit is easily on my top five list for UA-cam. Every video having something to enjoy is just awesome.
"Close to 75K subs..." Less than a year later, over 770K lol

"but the hundreds year war was actually more like attack on Titan..." Spiff confirmed weeb
looking at this just over a year later, spiffs excitement at the beginning was so adorable. it made me go "Awwww spiff"
13:19 1 division smells the tea from china and decides to head for a quick tea break xP
Spiff: drinks tea menacingly
France: capitulates
I got this recommended and I hear that he broke UA-cam back then to.🤌 very spicy
I love that he was up to 75k subscribers. Puts to shame the small amount he has today.
I can't wait til the day you get 1'000'000. I'll be so proud and happy for you SpiffingBrit

France: "Practice, Mon Ami!"
Ive never had border gore make me uncomfortable before
But this...

And this is where GoT season 8 got its inspiration for the fight against the undead.

Yep being a history France has always been the rival of Britain. Never really tough but just always bickering about something.
It was sometimes quite tough - both countries invaded each other multiple times and fought lots of proxy wars
I mean France bankrupted itself just to say a big fuck you to the British, ya know when they helped the colonies

Very good taste in music my good sir top-notch to be sure

Can we just take a second to appreciate that single division who went all the way from Kazakhstan to Nanjing without being encircled
Remember? When he didnt get the subs that he deserved?
I mean, neither today, but it actually is better
Heh 750K subs by now a lot has changed dude keep the Tea comin' !

Go spiffing Brit keep up the good work
sometimes I just click through a bunch of spiffing's videos at once just to hear him say hello ladies and gentlemen
When I hear the instrumental of God Save the Queen, I sing Heil Dir im Siegerkranz XD
It's cute watching him be so excited about his 5k likes and 75k subscribers isnt it :) Maybe one day he'll be successful enough to move off of the awful Yorkshire stuff and start drinking some nice Tetley or Twinings :)

Well, it seems the UK has given Russia a nasty looking rash...What year did you say this was taking place in?
Slovakia stronkkkk!
Spiffing Brit: “How could the French even possibly occupy Russia?”
Napoleon: “Allow us to introduce ourselves”
Invading Russia really didn't end well for Napoleon... in fact it ended very, very, badly... with Russians in Paris.
Why would Scotland be a ‘rival’ of the UK?? Asking as a Scottish person, that implies we aren’t part of the UK.
Scotland has historically not been part of the UK. the modern stuff was formed from Britain annexing Wales, signing a treaty with Scotland, and negotiating the independence of Ireland.
Spiff, looking back when you have over a million subs and you saying 75,000 is huge to you, you must be blown away
Spiff then: "UA-cam is broken" and is near 75 000 subs
Spiff now: "UA-cam is broken" and is near 75 000 000 subs
"near" 75 million 🤔
I wish dude but it's more like 2 million
