- Everybody's heard of Santa Anna, but do you actually know what he did? Mexico's most frequent president has more to his story than just the Alamo.

Nice new video Connor, been a long time since we last saw you
Truth be told I found the face cam a bit disruptive to the flow of the video.
Fun fact, Santa Anna pulled a Caligula and gave an official title to his horse.
I didn’t know that actually
oof
Of course Mexico is only a barren desert with gunslinging outlaws screaming HOWDY PARTNAH while on horseback. On point accuracy Connor
Hey, you wanna hear something cool? Poland doesn't have a happy ending.
I gotta keep the facts straight
@@HistoryHouseProductions lol bro
Thank you little Timmy
No no no, thats TEXAS. In mexico they say "¡Hola Gringo!"
El Presidente of that little tropical island knowns as Tropico: Hey! I like this guy. Penultimo steal this man's history and make it mine!
Penultimo: Right away, El Presidente! *Picks up the biggest stick he could find and starts scaring Historians to rewrite history with it.*
El Presidente: Oh and do write out that little marriage thing with a 14-year-old girl. That never happened.
screwing up the economy and life quality, giving up and start on new island, then going back to fix it, screw up some more and so on?
Yep, sounds like me playing Tropico 5

Fun fact: Santa Anna's army that besieged the Alamo was defeated in under 20 minutes at the battle of San Jacito to a force almost half of the size of his
They were taking a nap.
yes 18 mins, & some where napping others where supossed to be on guaurd Rumor is santa anna was with his Favorite prostitue so id say sam houstons timing was pretty good 😂
Gouvernment: exists
Santa Anna: So anyways, I started blasting!
Loool
Video didn’t explain that a Mexican government was led by President who was declared an Emperor, so a civil war broke out to have him (Iturbide) removed.

This is gold xD
Geez this guy is like every dictator rolled into one except way less successful.
That’s a good way to put it

As a Mexican i can confirm that sepia colour, cinematic black bands and guitar solos are part of our daily life
It’s just something you have to deal with
As a guy living right next to the border, I can confirm that the moment I step into Mexico to get my fucking groceries (Nogales am I right) a disembodied guitar follows me around constantly playing norteño
Santa Anna is the most Mexican Mexican to ever Mexican.
Nope he is definitely not.
Thats actually a good way to put. Even though he was ethnically Spanish.
@@3ddy447 santa anna, era mestizo, osea hijo de nativos mesoamericanos y español, todos los mexicanos son mestizos, no existen "puros" como tal, solo existen pequeños pueblos que se conservan, y eso no quita que sea mexicano, los estadounidenses ni tienen DESCENDENCIA nativa, son de reino Unido

Born in Spain yes!

Ngl, his life's epilogue sure was a way to go down the gutter of weird history
FUN FACT: in the last battle of the Texan revolution, the battle of San Jacinto, the Mexicans had 1,360 soldiers with a single cannon and the Texan troops had 910 soldiers with 2 cannons. the Mexican casualties consisted of 608 soldiers while the Texans had some enormous casualties of 11 troops. (only counting deaths)
That was not a battle but a coward massacre
That was a whole coward sneak from behind stuff not a real fight
@@gamereviews9509it was still pretty smart though if you are facing up against an army bigger then yours the last thing you would want to do is face them head on
@@gamereviews9509i would say that the goliad massacre was far more cowardly than San Jacinto
But, who cares
“Six people died at your party.” That to me sounds like rookie numbers.
At least triple digits or your party sucks!
He’s the Mexican equivalent of Ivan the Terrible.
No, not really. He's just an idiotic playboy which got waaay too much power for some reason.
@@mshaqed2538 that reason is because he was a decent military leader who could quickly rally large armies together, which meant the mexican government was willing to use him in desperate times, but soon forced him out after, over and over.
@@cageybee7221 also he kept quoting his job over and over.
@@elmascapo6588 that's like saying you can't call caesar a decent military leader because he lost over 300 battles, both still took power repeatedly and lead major offensives and defenses of their home country where massive armies few other leaders could muster were involved.

I feel like the Cartels would respect Santa Anna
Probably lol
He would need a second prosthetic leg
Who doesn't have an insane life at this point? You lead an insane life by covering insane lives.
He definitely had a more insane life than me haha
🧕🏽
Ive watched you for a long time, and this new style was genuinely a breath of fresh air. Definitely different from the other animated history channels, and definitely authentic. Well done, and please make more!
Thanks for the feedback! There seem to be people on both sides of the aisle in regard to the new style, so I’ll have to figure out a way to bridge the gap
0:39 That pause seems a bit awkward right there sir. Anything you're worried about Connor? Don't worry, we'll like the video!
It was for dramatic effect haha
To give you a taste of how Mexicans feel about Santa Ana, i was visiting my wife's family in mexico city and looking up things we could visit i mentioned driving to Santa Ana ranch. She responded with "I'm surprised that it hasn't been burned down"
He has a complicated legacy for sure
This new style isn't bad! I think it suits your persona. Well done man 👏
Thank you!
I thoroughly enjoyed this history...Keep doing what you're doing...Fantastic job :)
Thank you!

Man i missed your videos alot
Also I loved the updates in this video but.... but...
Where Timmy?
Jimmy is in the trash compactor
Nice touch mentioning the girl who snitch Santana's position with Houston.
My family is related (albeit distantly) to Santa Anna. It's kind of a trip.
How many coups have you launched?
He's been a bit quiet
Im related to Santa Anna. Always great to learn about your ancestors lmao
i guarantee if santa anna came back from the dead and walked into mexico city he'd become president again with mixed results and then die again.
I expected Solano López but found something even better ! Amazing work dude
Thank you!
Well done with all your new subscribers, man. Knew that you'd get there.
Thanks!
Pog. New Video.
Santa Anna: “Parkour!”

This is peak comedy with history lol, i love this video so much also that joke at the end freaking killed me xd
Classic potty humor
@@HistoryHouseProductions My kind of shitty humor
You’re one of the few you tubers who I see posts and instantly click
Glad you hear it haha!
I've just stumbled across your channel recently and have watched a number of videos. I so enjoy the history lessons and the humourous way you write and deliver. Nice job! A +
Finally Little Jimmy face reveal
The legend back from the dead
santa ana was of full spanish decent lol so drawing him a bit darker is not necessary lmao all of his grandparents where born in spain and his family was aristocratic
Anastasio Bustamante was also white due to his Spanish descent, but here is depicted even darker than Santa Anna.
well yes theres also brown skin southern europeans@@Jevorkan9168
Yaaaay a history house upload day!!!
12:27 oh, THIS is when things get weird? Not before?
Mexico has a wild history
I just love how this guy won a few small battles against the spanish in the independence war (after serving spain for most of it) and built an entire political career based solely on those victories (because he didn't really have any other real victories).
Also, could you do a video on Ataturk next? The guy had some serious personal issues and yet still proved himself as one of the best generals that ever lived.
Ataturk is definitely an interesting dude
La historia esta muy modificada, santa Anna era un genio militar, lo que pasó en Texas fue más un descuido por su negligencia, y no sólo lucho contra los españoles, también venció a los franceses que atacaron tampico, también había vencido al emperador iturbide, el cual era considerado uno de los mejores estrategas militares
There’s an episode of King of The Hill where The USA gives Santa Anna’s leg back to Mexico. Did that really happen or was it just made up?
I don’t think so hahaha
Oh wow never heard of this man. Thanks for covering topics that are obscure!
What you did does work but it is a bit distracting. You do a great job treating characters and world building the history and then your face pops up and kinda takes us out of it. It was still a great view and worked well but maybe do it a tiny bit less and only at major transitions. Love you and glad to see you trying new things and gaining support.
You have my sword
Is this also a face reveal? Because hot damn you’re good-looking.
Oh right… let’s talk about Santa Anna.
Lol, thanks. I’ve shown my face a few times before, but never this much
1:16 */Holy Music Stops*
Could you do a video on Miguel Hidalgo? He has a longer name, a more succesful militar carrier and sexual history, was an intelectual and a priest, and it's also the Father of the Country
I suggest making a video about the Spanish-American war and how the US became a big imperialist country

Honestly this was a very informative and absolutely hilarious video
😂😂. I love how you used that orange Mexico border filter they use all the time in stuff like Breaking Bad
I saw your art style and immediately clicked it
Ah yes Mexico
This will be Good
And yes it was of course xD
I’m glad you liked it!
How many rebellions you wanna launch?
Santa Anna: Yes
"a sexually defeated Santa Ana was then ambushed while taking a nap and kidnapped by the Texans"
Just my 2 cents on the change, your face breaks the animation flow. Now if you only made a few appearances for effect it might be a lot better and actually add to the charm. That said I seem to be in the minority it seems so up to you.
Actually, the majority of comments I’ve seen seem to agree with you. Thank you for the feedback!
Santa Anna to Spain:
Trade Deal Offer!!!
I receive many awards and honours for my service
You receive me doing an Italy on you and joining the rebels
Sounds good to me
When I saw Santa Anna, all I could think about was the sea shanty
Finally! someone talks about Santa Anna the dude was a trip for sure also nice reference to the yellow rose of texas for the Texan girl to wear yellow clothes
That was unintentional, but I’m glad it worked out haha
7:23 Captain America: *"L A N G U A G E !!"*
You really just blew over the Alamo and the battle of San Jacinto that ruined Santa Anna’s military career (kinda). He got his cheeks slapped at San Jacinto, it’s a funny and cool story
This is like oversimplified in a alternate universe

You wanted feedback, so I'm going to give it to you. Your speech impediment is far more pronounced when the audio is from recording on camera. I'm not sure if you are using a different microphone or something, but it makes a huge difference.
The speech impediment is why we are here.
Good to know I guess haha
@@HistoryHouseProductions It may be your concentrating on the acting and it just comes out more. You could also use a little makeup to reduce the shine on your nose. It stands out because of your beard. Plus you may want to play around with some of the aspect ratios so your head shows a little smaller on the screen when there are cartoons in the background.
I really do like that you are trying new things. I may sound a little harsh, but I only have good intentions. You make some great content and adding new things will help, but they need a little fine tuning.
I don’t mind this format, especially if it allows for longer videos
Dam so much effort went into this video. Def a new subscriber. You had me rolling.
Dude you're videos are dope
