Peter the Great was 6'8 and for the majority of his life had seizures which could not be dealt with at the time. Whenever he had a seizure the protocall was to ignore it until his seizures stop and continue like nothing had happened.
Once, when Julius Caesar was giving a speech to the Senate he received a letter. Cato, one of his main political rivals, insisted he read it out loud, believing it was part of some conspiracy. After a bit of hesitation Julius decided to read it.
It was a love letter from Cato's sister.
and a veeeeery naughty one
Speaking of Rome in the span of like 20 years they had 3 imperators and many, many civil wars
Why would Cato do this?

Hey, great video! Glad it randomly popped up in my recommended!
For a fun fact: Neither the Rurikid or Romanov dynasties were actually Russian in origin. The former being descended from Varangians, and the latter being related to the House of Oldenburg.
Adrimal Byrd was a admiral for the us navy who participated in operation high jump. Which was designed to figure out what the nazis where doing in Antarctica. When he came back they put him in quarantine for 32 hours gave him the Medal of Honor and told him to never speak of what he saw.
In the 80s the cia really loved funding nicaraguan rebels called the contras. One problem: the contras got a LOT of money from the cocaine trade. Congress passed a law to stop cia support for the contras, but the cia really didn’t want nicaragua to be socialist. SO they did the only reasonable action and invented crack cocaine and peddled it in the san fransisco bay area to keep sending money to the contras
Not exactly historical but funny none the less.
Hans Island is disputed territory between Canada and Denmark. The militaries of both countries periodically remove the others flag, place their own flag, and leave a bottle of either Danish schnapps or Canadian whiskey. This has been going on since 1973 and it’s called the Wiskey war
Richard the Lionheart hated England so much that he say, he would sell London if he could find a buyer
The last public execution by guillotine in France was done the same year Star Wars came out.
King Gagik the second of Armenia had been falsely led to believe he would be signing a peace treaty with the Byzantines in Constantinople, instead, he was forced to relinquish his kingdom to the Byzantines as the only acceptable form of ransom, as a form of compensation he would be granted the district of Lycandus.
Did you know during the Civil War the reason most people uses muzzleloaders and not other firearms like lever actions was to "Not waste ammunition". Stupid I know...
Correct me if I'm wrong :)
hey Gideon I have an idea for a video you can play as either Tibet or Burma and form the Empire of the Burmans in Throne of Lorraine

We could always talk about that time when the Dutch navy lost to French Cavalry..... history is weird.
The Austrian empire once lost a battle against them self during one of their many wars with the Ottoman empire
In 1937, in order to appease the muslim majority in Lybia, Mussolini got given the "Sword of Islam" and thereby declared himself to be the protecter of Islam (, inhereting this title from the now dead Ottoman Empire).
Gustavus Adolphus the King of Sweden during the 30 years war Was such an innovator of military tactics that Napoleon was in part so successful because he followed Gustavian tactics, and we in the modern-day still follow some of his tactics
In portugal, my country, a royal had his wife that died and kept her around, sleeping alongside her. It wasnt like the queen, he was the king and he killed eventually who killed her

When the Aztecs settled in the place where Tenochtitlan would be, there was already a tribe there. They welcomed the Aztecs to stay and the chief gave them his daughter in marriage. The next day the Aztec delegation came back to the chieftain, but the daughter was nowhere to be seen. The chief then noticed their priest was wrapped in a strange type of leather. He realized in horror the Aztecs had killed and skinned his daughter as a sacrifice, there was a fight in which the Aztecs won. They enslaved the rest of the tribe and took over what became Tenochtitlan .
Couple centuries later when Cortez came, the surrounding villagers hated the Aztecs so much that 100,000 warriors immediately joined him.
grim
it was less they joined Cortez, and more that he joined them and took advantage of the aftermath, but yeah.
During WW2 a Maltese fascist sympathiser studying at the University of Rome offered his services as a spy to Italy and was sent to Malta to infiltrate the local administration and collect information for Italian Intelligence. He was sent to Malta on a speed boat and dropped off at the southwestern part of the Island, which is notorious for having extremely high cliffs, and he had no way of actually getting onto the island properly.
After his supplies were washed away by the sea, he was found by a British patrol boat and sent to a police station to be interrogated, but when a friend of his working at said police station recognised him they realised his intentions as a spy and was subsequently executed.
Bro was sent to the worst part of the island they could have taken him to, lost his supplies, had to hail a patrol boat to help and then was executed after a friend recognised him as a fascist. Probably one of the worst spy missions I've ever heard.
Imagine being executed by your friend lmao. Massive L

Such a shame
There is a settlement within West Virginia called Vulcan that was once a really successful mining settlement until it ran out of general investors interest and became very impoverished. That settlement was relatively isolated where the only way to get into that village was through a rope bridge and it was so neglected by the American authorities that the bridge eventually collapsed and now the city was isolated. The community of that settlement had tried to contact the authorities that was met with little to no answer so the mayor of that settlement sent a letter to the Soviet Union requesting humanitarian aid and funds to fix and improve the infrastructure of that settlement. The Soviets accepted it and sent aid in hopes to mock the US government for incompetence. Now knowing this was Cold War and Red Scare was on its height an outrage happened across West Virginia threatening the settlement with threats that involved either violence against the inhabitants or whatever infrastructure built there would be bombed or damaged beyond use. So the Soviets sent down a journalist to the US to convey an survey of the inhabitants living in Vulcan over what they think of the situation and demanded the US government that if Vulcan does not receive the needs of that community they'll make sure to send any aid by any means necessary (or smth like that I'm going through memory). And after that the US finally built a proper bridge for Vulcan and everyone lived happily ever after 😊
edit: Vulcan is within West Virginia not Virginia
Pretty good summary but it was West Virginia close to the Kentucky border.
Love that story, heard about it before. Like just imagine some dude has to tell the president that the soviets just absulutley humiliated them buy just building a bridge
my bad I'll fix that
I love America, imagine the reverse scenario of what would happen if a Russian settlement tried to get aid from the US like this
In Australia during the Victorian Era an explorer named Frank Hann decided to go on an adventure into the heartland of Australia. He, and many others, believed that Australia was home to an inland sea located roughly in the North West of the continent, and so he had decided to try and discover this sea. He would eventually find a small river, and believing it would lead to a large lake, followed it all the way to a small dried up lake; he was so disappointed that he would name the lake "Lake Disappointment."
The English built a Trebuchet the size of King Kong to siege a scottish castle. The scots surrendered as soon as they saw the huge Trebuchet. The English king used it anyway.
The youngest medal of Honor recipient of world war II survived jumping out of a plane without a parachute because it failed. He proceeded to land without a scratch.This was after he earned the medal of honor for jumping on two grenades. After rehabilitating from the injuries sustained by the grenades he joined the airborne because he was scared of heights. It was during a practice jump his parachute failed. I believe it's his sergeant that said Jack was the last one out of the plane and the first one on the ground.
Once when a US research vessel was caught by the North Koreans, the crew put up a resistance in the funniest way. They knew if they actually resisted they would be killed so in every press picture that was taken of them, they all had there middle finger put out. The north koreans didnt know what this meant so they said in Hawaii its a greeting, or something like that.
Research vessel is an interesting way to refer to a spy ship
At one point the sassanid king known as Khosrow decided he really liked Antioch, but didn't like that it wasn't his. So he tore the city entirely down and recreated it using the same materials and the same dimensions. He named the city "Khosrow's better antioch"
Giuseppe Garibaldi, a major figure of the Italian Unification, had a military career in South America before his Expedition of the Thousand. He fled to South America after being sentenced to death. He would also fight in the Frano-Prussian war on the side of the French.

I new this guy was epic. Now he rose even more in my eyes.
During this time he invaded my hometown and declared it an independent republic which is today known as the Julian Republic, we have an statue dedicated to his wive who was from a neighbouring town which also was part of the republic
Garibaldi was also a free mason and the unification if italy was a masonic plot
@@cabercariboustudios196is that supposed to be a bad thing? not familiar with “masonics” but unifying italy doesn’t sound like so terrible of a plot to have
Fun fact: the first usage of the word 'bestie' that I have found was refering to Dutch people called 'the stedingers' colonising German swamps.
The stedingers are more famous for not paying taxes and then being crusaded.
During the height of the Siege of Sarajevo Bosnia was allowed to compete in Eurovision. The performer had to be flown out from Sarajevo in a UN helicopter while under consistent fire from the Serbs. The conductor was left behind on the tarmac and had to be replaced at the performance by a native Irish conductor (who was hosting). And the audience applauded when the Bosnian delegation called in from Sarajevo (under the peak siege) to Milstreet (a tint Irish town) and give their points
On May 26th, 2023, at 3PM, EST, the grand strategy game UA-camr known as Gideon released a video covering the Bohemia in the mod with no name for the game Victoria 2. In this video, he introduced himself with a parody of Lrrr of the planet Omicron Persei 8, and everyone laughed. Happy birthday!

Uhhh first history fact that comes to mind is one related to my homeland Catalonia:
During the reign of Byzantine Emperor Andronikos II, he hired a Catalan mercenary company known as the “Almogàvers” to fight against the Turkish invaders from Anatolia.
After a series of, let’s say, disagreements between the Basileus and Roger de la Flor (the mercenary captain), the first presumably had the latter killed; which made the rest of the company go absolutely apeshit.
The Almogàvers sacked and plundered both cities and countryside and would remain an issue for several years after the murder of their leader; even going as far as to conquer the city of Athens and hand it over to the Aragonese king in 1311.
What I’m getting at is that these random Catalan mercs wrecked so much shit that to this day, some 700 years later, the word “Catalan” is used as an insult in both Greece and Albania; which I find pretty funny.
Bro no one even uses the word catalan in greece. Most even dont know it exists. Hell they dont even know where Catalonia is..
I heard that it is also used in Bulgaria
While exploring Pacific islands populated with oceanic peoples, James Cook had been asked by male native to become his spouse, because he thought him cute. Alas, James didn't have appreciation for strong oceanic boyfriend.
during pax romana, there was a birth control plant. it was so popular it went extinct before the empire did.
During the American Revolutionary War an American Naval Officer by the name of John Paul Jones (really worth looking further into) led a series of pirate -esque attacks against the British mainland. At one point his small fleet was caught by a much more powerful British fleet. The result of the battle was an incredible victory in which John Paul Jones was able to capture a British vessel and flee to the neutral Netherlands. The British obviously demanded he was extradited and the Netherlands, despite being neutral, told them to stuff it. In order to "prove" that the boat belonged to the U.S. and wasn't stolen (or a pirate), the Dutch needed to create an American flag for the officer to fly while returning home. Thomas Jefferson wrote a letter describing (very poorly) what the flag looked like and the result was the U.S. Serapis (named after the HMS Serapis, the ship captured by John Paul Jones) Flag, sometimes referred to as the "John Paul Jones" flag. The entire story is super interesting and definitely worth looking into more.

Pretty mundane but interesting m&ms started as a war food. WW2 soldiers wanted to eat something sweet, but all the chocolate would melt before it could be shipped to Europe. So a company made a casing over the chocolate. Turned out when the soldiers came home they really liked m&ms so the company started selling them and from this base they became extremely popular.
it's a shame you recorded bohemian playthrough just before the HUGE mod update for bohemia and Germany, now it's much more tricky, still awesome video and happy birthday

Argentina is one of the few countries in the world which outlawed the feminine vote. The first woman to vote did so in 1911 after she successfully argued that there was no restriction that explicitly forbade women from doing so. 1 year later the most liberal and wide sweeping voting reform was enacted which enshrined things like secret ballots, poll watchers and the universality of the vote. Based on the civic military enrollment lists (which were exclusively male)de facto prohibiting women from voting.
HISTORICAL FACT: There was a very strong belief for many decades that there was, in fact, another planet closer to the sun than Mercury that was dubbed Vulcan! This was based on some wonky math and a SUPPOSED number of sightings from a few astronomers back in the 1800s.
Sicily was once ruled by Normans and its population was Muslims, Jews, Greeks, and Italians. Those societies lived in peace and harmony. Then, Germans came along.
I won't lie, this is the first video of yours ever that I'm watching. I found you very entertaining, funny and charming but then you attacked Poland and I can no longer support you nor your actions, sorry

The baptism and subsequent kidnapping of a baby indirectly caused the collapse of the Papal States and unification of Italy.
Wojtek was a Polish artillery man who carried ammunition while attached to the British in Italy during World War II. He enjoyed eating cigarettes and drinking beer and coffee in the mornings. He moved to Britain and could recognize his fellows from the war until he died in the 1960's.
Wait, did I say he was a man? No, he was a bear. Yes, they drafted a bear.
He was born in Iran.

You have been playing the *old* version of the mod prior to the German Rework (which borders can be seen in the current version of Victoria 3 Divergences) which had completely redone Bohemia (and the Holy Roman Empire) along with just about every other tag in that region.
As such you have been experiencing the Holy Roman Empire as it originally was, which was a extremely overpowered and relatively easy to form tag with very little regional balance which had as you said in the video title (*Broke Europe*). Alas, that's what I get for never uploading the new version on ModDB due to its abundant variety of bugs which I've been fixing alongside doing yet another rework of the Commonwealth Content (Ruthenia is now actually a thing rather then being a ghost tag that rarely appears) and finishing up the Scandinavian Content.
I'll upload the new version on ModDB when I finish it (and patch it at least a couple of times).
Thank you for explaining my good chum! Regardless of what version I’m playing I must say the is a solid 10/10! I do hope to play the newer version someday.
During the the 17th century, the Dutch Republic declared war on the Isles of Scilly due to them letting pirates onto their island. Such pirates interfered with Dutch trade and after Scilly declines booting the pirates off their island the Dutch declared war on them. 335 years later a treaty was signed signaling peace between the two. It was a war without blood. In a nutshell, two countries at war with each other forgot they were at war, and 335 years later signed a treaty.
I agree Imperial German borders without Elzas-Lorraine looks nicer it looks otherwise including that province like someone got hit on the head with a comically large stick
The 30 years war was started by someone being thrown out a second story window

No matter how epic a history battle may be, funny deaths are always better.
While Julius Ceaser was in the early stages of general-hood, he was kidnapped by pirates. They demanded a ransom for the general, but upon hearing the amount, Ceaser demanded they raise the ransom, offended they asked for less than he was really worth. After the ransom was paid, he was released, and promptly raised a fleet to go and sink the pirates, and capture the crew and ransomers so he could torture them.
He also would repeatedly tell his captors that he was going to torture them once he got free and they thought it was funny and laughed

During the Scramble for Africa, different European Empires had different end goals for their territories. The French, Germans, and Portuguese all had intentions to stretch their holdings from the Atlantic to Indian Oceans, while the British had intentions to connect their territories all the way from Egypt to South Africa. Ultimately none of these empires would walk away with what they wanted. The British would snub the French in Sudan (almost leading to a war even), the British would basically bully Portugal to prevent them from gaining territory in-between Angola and Mozambique (which would contribute to instability and a later revolution that deposed the monarchy in Portugal), absolutely nobody wanted to let Germany have the resource rich Congo, but the Germans would successfully secure Tanzania, Rwanda, and Burundi which cut off the British from being able to connect their northern and southern colonies.
Overall, nobody would get what they want. However, it would lead to weird, seemingly illogical outcomes, like France having the extremely disconnected colony of Djibouti, German South-West Africa (Namibia) having that weird panhandle to connect it to a river that flowed East, and Belgium, or rather, King Leopold specifically, ending up with the Congo (since nobody wanted any other actually relevant country to have it).
Theoretically, it would have been in the best interests of the French, Germans, and Portuguese to ally against the British if all they cared about was achieving their respective connected colonies. Which, once again, might have happened if the French didn't back down regarding Sudan, and would have completely undermined the point of the Berlin conference in the first place.
Bro am i schizophrenic what the fck is going on
During the Austro-Prussian War of 1866, the Army of Liechtenstein was placed at the disposal of the Austrians by the ruler of Lichtenstein, Prince Johann II (also called Johann the Good). Having little else to do with the small force of 80 soldiers, the Austrians placed them as Stelvio Pass (called Stilfser Joch in German). The soldiers reported "there was little else to do but sit and drink wine". When the war ended, the Army of Liechtenstein marched back to Vaduz with 81 men rather than 80. The extra man is said to be an Austrian liaison officer who chose to join the group.
The American Revolutionary War was largely kicked off as a response to high taxes levied by the British in the aftermath of the French and Indian War (and broader Seven Years' War). The opening battle of said war was the Battle of Jumonville Glen in 1754, a British ambush against French Canadiens in what is now Pennsylvania. This was largely unprovoked, basically the commander of the local troops going rogue, albeit the final straw in mounting border tensions between British and French colonists. Who was that commander?
George Washington. Washington, as a random, 22-year-old officer, indirectly set into motion the very chain of events that would lead to America declaring independence over 20 years later, with him as its first president.
One time, when Charles V von Habsburg was Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, his court herald was so tired upon reading off his full list of titles that he got up and just went home and had to be replaced.
Search up the full list of titles. You'll understand.
The tsar of Bulgaria simeon II abdicated his throne in 1918 after the country becoming democratic, he after fall of the soviet union returned to his country in 1996 and was elected pm in 2001, and became the only person to serve both as a monarch and a president.
Im waiting for a good, proper Poland playthro.
This history fact you may have heard, but in 1410, just hours before the battle between Polish-Lithuanian and the Teutonic forces near Grunwald, the Teutonic Knights were getting bored waiting for the praying Poles and Lithuanians to enter the battlefield. So they send 2 guys with 2 swords to the Polish-Lithuanian camp calling them out for battle. But the soldiers of Poland and Luthuania havent finished praying to God and prepering to battle. So the Polish king straight up denied the Teutons callout for battle. Just said nuh-uh, they have to finish their mass befire getting to the battlefield.
The Poles went on to win the battle.
May not be as crazy as some of the other facts here, but it was the first thing that came to my mind.
De Gaulle ate sugar cubes laced with LSD
During Apollo 10, someone's poo got loose and was floating around inside the spacecraft. None of the three astronauts claimed it as theirs. There is an audio recording of the event as well as an official NASA transcript.
In the same vein as the above story, during Apollo 16 the meals lead to the astronauts having a lot of gas. This lead to a hot mic situation where an astronaut complained about "Having the farts again" and "in another 12 fucking days, I ain't never eating any more[of the fruit causing issues]."
During the Taiping Rebellion, also known as the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, there were a number of Europeans who followed Jesus Christ's sword wielding little brother. A group of them were Irish mercenaries who became the offical executioners of thr regime.
In the late 1960s, a grassroots political movement known as the Harmony Coalition emerged, captivating the nation with its visionary ideals and unwavering commitment to unity. It was led by charismatic leader Grace Thompson, the Harmony Coalition sought to transcend partisan divides and foster a new era of collaboration and understanding. Through a series of peaceful protests and community-driven initiatives, the movement advocated for inclusive policies, social justice, and environmental stewardship. It ultimately disbanded in the early 1970s, its profound impact on American society cannot be overstated, inspiring future generations to strive for harmony and cooperation in the pursuit of a better world.
During the 1904 Revolution in Uruguay, the battle was between the two parties that used to share power in the country, the Blancos and the Colorados, with the Colorados holding government. The Blancos (or Whites) used old remington rifles that the revolutionaries bought, whereas the Colorados (or reds) had a hold on the government and army, and had just modernized it with new Mauser rifles.
The issue was that the old Mauser rifles had a longer effective range than the remington rifles, so the army would just sit outside of the revolutionaries' range and take shots at them from afar.
This is how the government killed the revolution's leader, Aparicio Saravia, as he inspected his troops on horseback, getting shot by a government soldier who saw him from afar and decided to fire, with the revolutionaries having no chance of firing back due to the distance.
Needless to say, the government won, just sitting away from gunfire
Charles IV of Spain, besides believing himseof to be a frog and being nocturnal, had such a large penis that they had to custom-build a special cushion with a hole in it so he wouldn't hurt his wife while they performed their marital duties.
He also happens to be the only spanish Bourbon king to not be buried in the Escorial monastery.

King Phillip the Second, Alexander the Great's father once sent a letter to the Spartans, saying "If I invade Lakonia you will be destroyed, never to rise again". The Spartans replied by taking the "If" directly from the letter and sending it back. Philip eventually decided to bypass Sparta as it was a poor region and not worth the fight. Neither Philip nor Alexander attacked the Spartans while they ruled.
This isn't true. Antipater crushed the Spartans at the Battle of Megalopolis and killed one of their kings. The only reason Alexander couldn't do it himself is because he was off fucking around in the East the entire time.
@@44hy57 "Neither Phillip not Alexander", Antipater is neither Phillip nor Alexander.
@@PeterTremor "while they ruled". I would not state that George Bush did not invade Iraq because he did not personally command the troops. Under Alexander's reign, he sent funds and delegated his general and regent to crush a Spartan rebellion.
@@44hy57 if you recall, back then was a different time where the leaders themselves fought in combat, so my comment is technically correct
One of the real events that helped create the myth of El Dorado was that the spanish conquistadors came across some native south americans that used a ton of gold in their coronation and funeral rites. As a result, they burnt a ton of glitzed-up funeral pyres on their local lake, and so people fogured there must be a TON of treasure at the bottom.
Fast forward to the industrial age, and the Brits try to go and siphon the water out of the lake to get at the gold on the bottom. But they do it so shittily that all the sediment on the lakebed hardens under the heat of the sun into something like cement. The brits then try mining the gold out, and fail, then blasting it out with dynamite, and fail, and never get more than a few specs of the stuff out to this very day. Now, its a protrcted cultural heritage site, and also the world's finest monument to the glory of British engineering.
