Damn, you're extremely informed/educated compared to just about any other reaction channel, that's cool
The only reacting channel with more knowledge about that is vlogging through history but dude is literally a historian. Other channels are just having basic reactions.
@@xFurashux and Mr terry history
@@xFurashux I feel like she knows more about the war then me. When she said "Russo-japanese war" I felt useless. Any woman that can tell me about the policy of Brittain in the 1930s gets alot more credit
my thought exactly
@@TheTrueAltoClef same, and I learned about in APUSH just a few months ago! I can’t remember much after any quiz/test
I just *LOOOOOOOOOOVE* how you just start your videos and get to the meat of it with no _loooong_ BORING intros that we have to sit through...
Intro is normal this is strange
The Wadsworth constance dosnt apply here!
@@matej9368 no intros are stupid. We know you or we wouldn't be watching your channel and obviously we know what the video is about. Its an excuse for pretentious UA-camrs who think they're important to talk for 5 minutes without any real reason. Goof ball.
You mean you don’t want to hear people begging for likes and subscribers? What’s wrong with you? 😂
@@matej9368 normal doesnt mean good
Stumbled onto your channel from a home page recommendation, and thought I'd give it a watch. I did, and then watched a few more, and then a couple more. This is great content. The videos aren't overly long, and you learn something you didn't know from every single one. You're intelligent, funny, and just plain fun to watch. Liked, subscribed, and I rung that bell.
Woah, this is cool to read! I’m glad you’re liking the channel so far Dan. Also, thank you (:
I dont have time to subscribe to more conten.... dammit.
Chamberlain had seen the horrors of WW1 and was so anxious to avoid a repeat of millions of global deaths that he believed appeasement was the only way to deal with the situation. He wasn't weak without good reason but of course an oversimplification couldn't portray that. Hindsight's always 20/20.
Also, Britain was mobilising for war in the late 1930s while also trying to avoid war with appeasement. They weren't completely blind to the dangers, but rather that Germany had a headstart of a few years in mobilising and neither the British or French were ready for a fight.
WWI aslo weighed on the French who had to live with the war being fought on their land. If france had marched into germany when germany attacked poland, the war would have been over at that point. Germany only succeeded in beating the poles due to the russians also invading poland one day after germany. as it played out, germany almost ran out of bullets in poland and certainly couldn't deal with the french marching through the rhineland as well as fight the poles.
@@MartinSparkes-BadDragon Nonsense.
Chamberlain was also highly highly respected in British politics. The King was very fond of him and even the opposition had a lot of respect for him.
It was understandable he didn’t want a repeat of the Great War but in hindsight they should have crippled Germany the moment he started to build his forces.
Only 49 millIion more...
History Oversimplified is a great channel. Informative and entertaining.
That "hey I'll just start" got my sub loved it
Dan Carlin is amazing! Supernova in the East changed my entire point of view of the war in the Pacific. The cultural study of the Japanese and their military culture before and during the war was fascinating. Like when you have a book you can't put down, I missed listening to that podcast once it was done. I'm so glad you brought him up!
Some WWII book recommendations I'd make are
"Soldier from the War Returning" by Thomas Childers which takes a rough unfiltered look at life post-war and the difficulties Americans dealt as millions of service members tried to reintegrate into civilian life.
and "Freedom's Forge" by Arthur Herman which tells the story of the handful of business men who orchestrated the massive production of ships, tanks and planes during WWII.
oh and "Once Upon a Town" by Bob Greene which had me smiling the whole time. It's about a tiny all but forgotten town in Nebraska that ended up being a very special warm place during WWII.
Thank you for recommending Dan Carlin's hardcore history. Absolutely one of the best researchers and narrators of the modern time.
I’m glad you already knew of him! Sometimes I put on his channel in the background while I work & end up listening to some episodes more than once. He’s a great teacher
@@NoProtocol I cannot have him play in the background. His episodes are just too enthralling. A Mongolian scout party knocked out every army it came across till it turned around in Central Europe? The letters that reported about the artillery from the Battle of Verdun in which a show would blow a tree up into the air and before it came down another show would land right next to the last and shoot it up again. I have never enjoyed history being well aware of those who win the war is write it. But this man has a storytelling gift. He's a kind of person that be reading a story to a circle for the children only to have an adult in the back ask, "Then what happened?"
A book recommendation if you see this reply. The type of History I have always enjoyed was that of pre Mesopotamia. The Lost ancients. I recommend "Dead Men's Secrets" by Jonathan Gray. He documents physical pieces of ancient civilizations. Everything from an aluminum cup found in Peru to ancient copper mines and what's now the United States to four-dimensional art carvings in the Middle East area. I enjoy your channel and wish you a good day.
Whilst simplified they do tend to hit a lot of key points and still manage to mention things I either had not known or had forgotten!
In fairness to Chamberlain, and most people at the time, appeasement was immensely popular because they didn't want to repeat ww1. Also chamberlain as Baldwins chancellor started to increase spending on the raf and navy
It's refreshing with a reaction channel featuring someone who's actually informed and who gives their own genuine reactions rather than some show. And by the way, you have the most beautiful eyes!
I don’t know how this channel popped up in my recommendations, but I am so glad that it did, love that there is no boring long intro, and the fact that No Protocol seems very knowledgable and only really comments when needed is great, plus her smile is infectious.
I absolutely love how educated you are on historical matters! This is only the second video(the first being “the history of the world I guess”), and am absolutely loving your insight on such matters.
I've only just discovered your stuff, this is only the third video I've seen from you, but I have to say: Not only are your reactions good, but I LOVE your intros. XD Straight to the point with no fluff or filler. Massively appreciate that.
I don't know what algorithm placed your channel into my feed but I'm so happy it did. It makes such a change to see someone as eloquent and obviously learned posting content that is outside the populist material. Well done. I look forward to watching a lot more.
I also have just subscribed. I'm a lifelong history 'student,' always trying to learn. My Dad fought, was gassed and survived WWI (he was 55 when I was born 30 years later if you're trying to figure the math), and I'm 73.
I read Shirer's book when I was in college and then, during the height of Covid, dug it back out and made my way through it again. If you have stuck with it, good for you. It's a remarkably comprehensive and insightful slog, and well worth the effort. I also spent so many hours reading all of the countless footnotes and branching off to Wikipedia and other sources to read about all the characters, both German and otherwise).
Good chance you'll never read this message at this point, but congrats on your channel. I love it, and mostly at my age am so thankful young people want to know about history and try to apply the lessons it tries to teach us. Good luck to you!
So nice to see an actual intelligent and educated reactor!
Thanks for the link!!! I love history and my older brother has a masters in military history. I agree with you regarding the presentation and simple explanation of past events being taught to children. The animation and pace could could garner interest in youth to learn more about it and why it’s important to know and understand. Keep up the amazing work and as always I look forward to your next video.
Sean
Love your insights and wide range of topics. Keep up the good work. All the best from New Zealand.
Thanks for watching (:
I try not to look at the description to see if I can guess your literary recommendation. Finally nailed it! My Dad made me read this when I was a kid and I'm glad he did.
That was a good guess then! Well done Carlos (:
I listened to the text you're talking about on audiobook. Honestly made me more terrified of the Nazi regime than ever. We must stop anything like this from happening ever again, at any cost.
As someone who is studies history (not that it gives me that much more credibility than the average person lol), OverSimplified’s videos are pretty accurate. He even manages to cover some things that you would never learn in school in the US.
Also, can wait for part 2!
The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich is one of the best history books I ever read. So much detail and facts. I know it was one of my mom's favorite books as I remember her reading it quite often while growing up. In fact when she went to the hospital to give birth to me she took that book. I inherited that copy when she passed. Another great book is Inside the Third Reich by Albert Speer. Great autobiography from Hitler's architect.
If you only read one book about WWII that's THE BOOK!
Ha! I actually picked this book up at a second hand store a bit ago, haven't read it, and when she read the title out I thought I think that's the book I have, and it is. Looks very good and hearing your recommendation makes me want to read it even more now!
@@HKotolos just be warned.... as I said, Rise and Fall is VERY detailed to the point it can a bit boring at times. But because of all that detail you learn soooo much you may not learn elsewhere or learned before.
@@danntheunknown7639 That's precipice why I picked it up, I want the details. everything else on this topic skims over so much, doesn't give any context
@@HKotolos then you should really enjoy the book. Hope you do
I love how you started the reaction without wasting any time
This channel is amazing and would be a great way to get people into history. I love how he implements some comedy into it to keep the learner engaged, which is what most good teachers should do. The American Revolutionary war videos he does are amazing. I assume it must take months to make each video.
I thought I'd let you know that I frequently have been watching your videos recently while I write and edit a couple books. I do NOT ever watch react channels more than once but you watch and comment all this great stuff. Haven't seen many science/philosophy/history react channels and you seem to be very well informed.
This is the first video I've seen on your channel before seeing the others, it showed up in suggested ones, I'm also interested in history, and I must confess that I admire it. You have wide horizons of interests, knowledge and passion to discover new and share it with others, and naturalness in yourself and of its expression.
I'm glad I found your channel, the straightforward way of narrating the movies you are watching, personal knowledge and insightful comments stand out from the thousands of other "reaction to x y z movie" videos, cause you bring something valuable from yourself to it.
Those who think that the intellect and the conscious evolving soul are not v. interesting and appealing, are very mistaken. Sincere congratulations and keep up with good work!:) Wish your channel grows.
Impressive reaction! WW1 and WW2 are my particular areas of interest. It is beyond interesting how the world basically lost its mind for those decades. I make music about both wars because they are so fascinating. That book you recommended Rise and Fall is absolutely one of the best history books written. It really gives you a look into the politics and all the moving parts that led to WW2 and the rise of the Nazi party. I also just got done with a book about the Nuremberg trials that followed WW2. It's called "The Anatomy of the Nuremberg Trials". Anyways great reaction I look forward to more content like this!
I first read Shirer's Rise & Fall of the 3rd Reich back in high school in the 80's and after reading many other books on WW2 since then it remains the definitive history.
First time on this channel
And that
"Hey let's start" was the quickest intro to a reaction video ever 👍🏻
You're one of the smartest react channels out there, it's refreshing.
Thanks for choosing to react to informational content, even if it is shorthand.
I definitely think that there's a bit of an attention pandemic going on with all these reaction videos, and people aren't really learning anything from them.
Then there's you! Keep that up, in my opinion it's very important.
I love this video. My father was in the AF stationed in Britain during the war. Only thing he ever talked about was a bunch of soldiers coming into the mess hall with paint all over their fatigues - no one knew what was going on. They were painting extra stripes on the planes for D-day the following day - so the Brits would recognize the American planes by the special stripes.
Many Polish WWII survivors resettled in the UK as they were unable to return to Russian-occupied Poland, my grandfather included (1920-2016). He was forced to join the German army when they invaded Poland. Some time around 1942/3 he managed to defect to the Polish Free Forces and fight alongside Britain in Italy.
So refreshing seeing someone react who is actually educated
I don't know how old you are, but the amount of knowledge you have retained is fascinating. I like to learn about stuff as well. It's my favorite UA-cam pasttime. But I struggle to remember specifics.
excellent posts it's a welcome relief to find someone with an appreciation & knowledge of history. i hope i don'e sound patronising i just want to show how much i rate your posts
Been enjoying these vids your defo gonna blow
Loved your reaction and the knowledge you displayed on what was being discussed. Very intelligent woman and eager to learn more. Subscribed, as I am eager to watch more!! Keep up the great reactions
It's very exciting that more and more reactors are contributing their expertise to videos like this. This is the future of learning.
This was enjoyable to watch considering your knowledge, much appreciation for that.
thank you so much for not rambling on with an insanely long intro that adds nothing to the video like all the other reaction videos out there!
u just gained a subscriber.
When should we expect part 2? Also you're going to really enjoy these oversimplified series if you continue to watch them.
I highly recommend on of my favorite channels, The History Guy: History that deserves to be remembered. Very fun and informative.
WWII is kinda in my wheelhouse. I have always been fascinated by the vast amounts of military equipment generated by WWII, yet always in the back of my mind is how many people died.
I really appreciate that you jump right into it.
Love your reactions. You are a gem. "Glossed over."
Oversimplified does great work on these. Another good, unique YT video about WW2 is the "Fallen of WW2"
Love how you’re straight onto the video, and somewhat have background knowledge. Also love that pic/poster in the background, where can I get one?
Just a side note (first off, great video, great reaction), your voice is wonderful. You have what I call a radio voice. I'd listen to you narrate my bad medical news lol.
I was always fond of History and Language arts classes, because it felt a great deal like I was being read stories the whole time. Incidentally, I now fall asleep listening to audible.
You know, pretty lady (I gotta call you something and I haven't a clue what your name is), one of the things I really love about these reactions of yours (quite aside from your often very insightful commentary) is the fact that there's no "Look at me! I believe this! I'm wanting the focus whilst masquerading as a reaction etc etc" in you clips...... particularly at the start!!!!
You just go straight into them! That tells us a LOT about you. Your reactions as the clips proceed tells us a few things about your intelligence (I think you've a stunning amount of capacity) but also your empathy and ability to grasp things that often, I am sure, are outside your personal experiences.
Yeah! I've watched (or more correctly listened) to a lot of your clips and my admiration for you and your style has done nothing but increase. I know that won't have a scintilla of impact upon you, as I am just an old bloke out in the middle of nowhere, with no real impact upon the world, but I thought I would throw it in anyway, just in case you saw this! :) :) :)
It's worth bearing in mind that whilst Chamberlain sued for peace, he also pivoted the UK to a war economy. Churchill made him part of his war cabinet, and following his death, said: "there was no man more resolved to pursue the unsought quarrel to the death. The same qualities which made him one of the last to enter the war, made him one of the last who would quit it before the full victory of a righteous cause was won."
He bought Britain *time*. The one thing we were so desperately short of in the late 30's.
It cost Chamberlain his career, and ultimately his life, but he is the most unsung hero you ever hear about.
(edit: subscribed, btw)
Hello, hope you’re doing well. I just found your channel today and I love how there’s no intro lol just get right to it!
Peace and wholeness fam
Brilliant, So glad I've discovered this channel, Taken aback by how natural and at ease you are at narrating/presenting. You definitely have have a career in this. If you're this good now, then the future is bright for you (if that's what you want to pursue).. My Grandad fought in this war in the UK. He fought for the future, People like you. He would have loved this channel. Bravo :)
I couldn't have cared less about history when I was in high school. But now it fascinates me!
same here, elemtary and the few years i managed to stay in high school i had no interest in it at all, it was boring and something which already happened, but after that i started to be interested in it myself and it gave me good understanding of whats goin on in this world and why.
You are extremely smart and informative and a pleasure to listen to.
2:46- 3:24
seeing a random american quoting versailles and apologizing for not knowing the exact article, I was not prepared for that.
As a german, i feel quite humil^r^rbled by that.
Go on then, have my like.
Oh, and the 'you've read the title, we both know why you're here so let's start' attitude really helps. I'll be watching more of you.
I absolutely loved this (as I do everything of yours I've seen).
Great review! And cool shout out to Biographics and Warographics! I love those channels 🔥
That was going to be my suggestion!! It’s long, and often boring, but it’s one of the best books I’ve found giving insight into what exactly went wrong in 1930s Germany.
I love to learn and these videos are a great way to keep ones attention
Oversimplified is great. All of his video's are worth watching.
You watch biographics and Mr. ballen. No wonder you got recommended to me, lol. Either way, you just got me through about 6 hours of work. Thank you
read Shirer's book when it was first published. Brutely detailed but hard to put down.
Just found your channel. Commenting to push it for the algorithm. I like you. Also, how in the world was that channel name not taken? Good for you!
The treaty also pushed Japan into being an enemy after being an ally in WW1. They were left out all the talks on the treaty and felt dishonored which from what I have found out started their dislike of the west. I may have gotten bad information, but it does fit the timeline and outcome. Very cool video and commentary young lady.
Basically, Japan prior to WW1 had played by the rules of the West: modernize, create a colonial empire, etc., but the negotiations at Versailles showed that Westerners did not consider Japanese as equals because of their skin color. After that point, the Japanese were furious because they had played the Western game and it was shown to be hollow. This led to Japan becoming much more antagonistic towards the West leading up to WW2.
@@oremfrien Exactly good sir, great explanation, Thanks for the reply
Wow! Your knowledge of that period is impressive 👍
I love the TimeGhost Army stuff, week by week amount of the war. Did it for WW1 as well
I love Oversimplified! Definitely not super in-depth, but it's the perfect Cliffs Notes version of history with a touch of humour. He did another great video on how the border between Canada and the United States came to be. I think it's called "The War Of The Pig" (and yes, the motives behind this war are as ridiculous as the title implies). I think you should check that one out
16:35 Winston Churchill sticking two fingers up was hilarious as it means F*ck off in UK
I was always interested in this in history class in highschool but I have forgotten alot about it, which surprised me! Oh and I actually won a portrait drawing of Hitler back in 7th grade. We had to do portraits of past world leaders and at the same time I was learning about the war in history class. I don't know where that drawing ended up but I have 3 awards for it. My one and only #1 at the school, the district and the whole state. I don't think I can draw that well anymore. 🤔 this new war is getting scary and I'm hoping it doesn't happen just like it did in the past!
There's an episode of Mad Men where a character mentions that Hitler knew Chamberlain was a heavy smoker and so held their appeasement meeting in a building that banned all smoking. It made Chamberlain edgy, impatient and contributed to him giving in to Hitler's wants so easily.
I didn't know that. The overriding factor for Chamberlain and his most of his staff was to avoid war. WWI traumatized them (as well it should have) and Hitler played on this as well.
I like your comment about not liking history at school, but now enjoying it to done extent. Same here. 👍
I think there are a few things missing from the lead up section. For instance, Mussolini and Hitler were not the only two dictators setting up the scene, but Stalin completed the triumvirate. He also had expansion plans toward Europe and divided it on paper with Hitler. He invaded Finland and the Baltic states. They actively cooperated before WW2. (e.g. The Gestapo learned a lot from the NKVD about concentration camps.) It's just that... you know... the victors write history and those chapters were redacted later.
Another one is that the WW1 treaties did not only leave Germany in that kind of situation (I personally think that the people leading those treaties as just as much responsible for WW2 than the three dictators.) That, combined with the 19th century raise of nationalism, meant that the majority of the continent "had issues". While other countries were not a major factor on their own, the fact that they happily joined the party once it started, or at least were amicable, made a considerable difference.
I know this was "history oversimplified", but given the amount of details brought up in that section, I felt this as a gap.
One thing to think about is that even the victors were absolutly wrecked by WW1. They had an entire generation of young men who were gone. They weren't sure their nations could survive another war like that.
Whoa, a woman super knowledgable and interested in history... I think my heart just skipped a beat.
I love Dan! I immediately sub'd when I heard you mention him.
Himmler was a school teacher too. Hitler studied under the leading hypnotist of Germany.
Rise and Fall was a great read. Loooong but well worth it. I read it about 40 years ago in my early 20;s. It helped that my wife was a librarian in the County library. It was like having my own library LOL
I love Simon's channels (all like 50 of them) I would highly recommend any and all of them
I knew he was a teacher, but I did not know about the double Switzerland. I too, was only aware of the one period he was there.
"The only ones who like us Germans are the Japanese, and they don't look very Arian!" Yorkie" in "Jo Jo Rabbit". Somehow that came into my head while laughing at "Shitler" and I laughed even harder 🤣 Lol.
I really love that Picture behind you! Also I enjoy your channel keep it going girl! Peace and Love from Phoenix!
The motivation of WW2 was really oversimplified. I would like to add 2 more points:
1. the end of the Weimarer Republic (the first democracy in germany) left the war between communists, nationalists, socialists and supporters of monarchy on the german streets and with that, lots of ex soldiers from WW1, that were roaming the land and destroying/ killing and destabilizing the country.
And this fact might be interesting: communists and socialists are not the same. In the end socialists choose to not support the communists in german history and with that making the position of nationalists a stronger one.
2. before WW2 germany was into export, like today, but instead of cars it exported narcotics and drugs.
That ended due to an american missionary that convinced the U.S.A. to crimalize all kinds of drugs in 1938. Germany lost alot of money by that.
ps sorry for my bad english, I'm not a native speaker
Finally a smart reactor. subbed
Brilliant reaction 😊 absolutely love your intelligence 🤓. Much respect Birmingham UK 🇬🇧.
The best channel on youtube about WWII is TIK. Everything he does is pure fantastic.
Second this!
the fact that drugs played a huge part in the unstoppable german advance during blitzkrieg is just as fascinating as it is hilarious
I recommend the vid on Qxir's channel about the WW2 Finnish soldier OD'ing on meth (when they were a German ally). Crazy and hilarious story.
It's titled "Soldier ODs On Meth, Has Crazy Adventure".
not so fascinating if u ever tried meth, its actually no wonder they managed to do so much, but its just not a good long term strategy ;D
@@MrMajsterixx it's still fascinating because it was not me the druggy, it was the Nazis
Appreciate it's Oversimplified, just adding a little.. Seem to recall Altmark was carrying a few hundred British prisoners of war and being escorted by the Norwegians. Not exactly cricket, so she was cornered and, to the Captain's credit, Altmark even tried ramming the Brits in the final moments. I may be off but I'm relatively sure that was the ship at least..
Wow you know alot about WWII, I'm seriously impressed!
Ferdinand Foch already said that the treaty of Versailles was a peace for 20 years. He knew the treaty was to much of a humiliation and the reparation payments were to high.
We wants Part II please :)
THE video left out this, but the RAF had great success in defending the homeland despite being out gunned because they had developed radar which gave them a huge advantage. pretty good documentaries talking about it
Let's get to part 2!!!!
It's nice to see someone who know their history. Any reaction I see I ended up cringing because they get their wars/revolution mixed up.
Seen all the over simplified many times I've always loved history hope you'll react to history of the world I guess its fast paced I think you would enjoy it. Love to see your channel is growing an appreciate the diverse content have an amazing day
Hey, have a great day too Richard (:
If I recall, Keynes wrote a small booklet called the economic consequences of the war. He predicted that the French forcing punitive damage on the German economy would lead to inflation and the collapse of Germany society. as we can say, everything has a consequence.
Consequences of peace - my poor memory
You made the comment to the effect: What videos on history would you have wanted when you were in school? To that, one must consider the band Sabaton,. To start things off, the following three videos are a must: Bismark; No Bullets fly (the animated story); Christmas Truce.
Good commentary comments. The media one especially. That channel did a fair few good videos on the WW.
Another good history channel is The History Guy: History That Deserves To Be Remembered.
I don’t know this one yet!
@@NoProtocol He live a few miles from my house. His channel is amazing. You should check it out soon. He keeps it simple and thorough.
