Well, he's in pretty deep now, there's almost no escape from the Oversimplified rabbit hole, he's gonna be one of us!
Hahaha Oh yeah, he's gonna go full on Alice.
Once you start watching, you can’t stop.
There's actually a documentary on McNamara's interview talking about his time as Secretary of Defense during the Cold War. And it's actually mind boggling how close we were to WW3 every time some new event happen, not asking for you to react(be cool if you did) but if you want more in depth understandings about the Cold War, it's the only documentary I recommend.
I seem to remember him saying that if he had had his way, US aircraft would have dropped dirty bombs all over the China-Korea border to prevent any Chinese troops from crossing the border.
@@TheUnspeakableh He talks quite a bit about how close we were to WW3 many times, I think he even brings something like that up.
I'm genuinely shocked that Luke actually knew that the Soviets were so far ahead from the Americans during the Space race. Not many people actually know that and would simply say America won because of the moon landings
I’m a bit of a space nerd haha 😎
@@OriginalHuman That's so dope, I'm a Political Science student with unhealthy knowledge about anything relating to the military and contemporary warfare information. Your earlier videos about fitness has been helping me deal with COVID pandemic and I plan to join the military as well, I enjoy your content man, keep it up! 👏
Where I am practically no one is a space nerd except for me, but most people know that it was indeed the Russians who got to space first maybe not because we won because of the moon, but definitely to space. In movies, history books, and in school it’s emphasized.
America did win, because in a race it doesnt matter who was first for the longest but rather, who reaches the finish line first. Now in Space there really isn't a finish line, but the moon landings are the largest achievement by humanity in Space. If some other nation manages to top that, they would become the winner, but as of now, America is in the lead.
@@LiterallyMe05 Practically speaking, there was no benefit for the moon landings other than propaganda, because that was the main point of the race. On the grand scheme of things, humanity as a whole won the space race and have benefited from it.
By the time Sergei Korolev died(he dreamt for the Soviets to land on the moon). JFK even had a speech expecting the very first man on the moon would have been a Soviet, but that clearly was not the case as their chief director for their Space program as he(Sergei Korolev) died 3 years prior to the moon landing which dealt a heavy blow on the Soviet effort in the race, once replaced by Vasily Mishin and Valentin Glushko, their objective changed to putting a man on the moon to exploring other planets and refining their rocket technology instead.
There were fatalities during training, test flight, and space flights on both sides. If you are well informed about the Space race, the United States had more fatalities than what the Soviets had experienced during the entire race. So anyone arguing that the Soviets didn't care for their subjects would be immediately refuted.
Nevertheless- how one would perceive which country won the space race is relative. In terms of who pioneered and achieved the firsts during the race, the USSR beats the USA no doubt. When it came to putting the very first person into a celestial body and who won the Cold war, it's definitely the United States. If we go beyond the Cold war, NASA still uses Russian Soyuz rockets to launch their astronauts in space, however that might change later in the future.

Napoleonic War after this one, that and the American Civil War is my favorite
This one I my favorite. then world war 2 and nepoleonic wars. But that one is long .
When does Oversimplified release “Vietnam War - Oversimplified” it would be a good idea as a video reaction
@@Jazzified1541 It could honestly be the next video he makes, but I’m not too sure
18:11 They do work. They clearly kept both sides of Germany apart for decades. I'm not saying that's a good thing, but they did in fact work. They had to tear it down in order to reunite the city.
I'm too young to have experienced the cold war (By quite a bit.) but it's insane that we're still feeling the repercussions of the fall of the soviet union, 30 years later all across the globe.
We still feel the repercussions of the First World War. Over a hundred years later, wars do tend to leave a mark, a hot or a cold one.
@@Cobretsov2022 Hell, if you even wanted to stretch it. you could say we're still feeling the aftershock of the Napoleonic wars.
it it crazy tho? 30 years is not that long
@rainbows5232 I've met people who think 1970 was 30 years ago, so yes, it is a long time.
If you like dark comedy I can’t recommend the movie “the death of Stalin” enough. It gives a wonderfully hilarious look at Stalin’s death and the events surrounding it.
Definitely react to Part 2! After the horror vids, you might want to come back and see some others. I can definitely vouch for the Emu War as being a great one for laughs if nothing else.
...Seriously, only in Australia would you lose a war with the state bird.
That painting in the white house you pointed out is based off the real deal, it's the artwork of George Washington crossing the Delaware river during the war of independence, in case you didn't know 😉
Just finished the Gettysburg video. Love the channel, also oversimplified is great.
Also with Russia and the US it was like a Jack Sparrow and Barbossa relationship where they hate each other but have to work together
It's easy to know Luke is a Royal Marine just by how he looks around every frame, he noticed things I never would've looked at.
I was just thinking, if you would react to this and woala, here we go. Oh Im gonna love this one.
Definitely want a part 2, I love the over simplified and I love the reaction!
please play Summer of '58 its a really scary game and it takes place in a russian pioneer camp. summer of' 58 is one of my favorite horror games
react to ww1 oversimplified
Whoah! Its the man, the myth the legend!
Yo Waddup Winston my guy
The Korean War was the setting for the long-running American sitcom "M*A*S*H". It's not very historical, but does give you some background on the times.
There is an Excellent Kevin Costner film called 13 days that is all about the cuban missile crisis. Watching this film is super scary to see how close we came to ww3.
Walls aren't 100% effective but they dramatically reduce how many people get across. We don't need the walls to stop them, we need the walls to slow them down long enough to see them on the surveillance and send agents to intercept them. That is something walls do very well.
Luke! If you like tatics, react to the Battle of Tuyuti. It's one of the bloodiest battles of the Paraguayan war between the Triple Alliance (Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay) against Paraguay. It would be cool if you look to battle from other nations outside of the major ones (USA, England) such as Brazil where in the time had one of the largest fleet of the world and even Britain was scared of them.
Can’t wait to see more oversimplified reactions!!
Haven't watched in a while. Are you willing to play Bioshock 1 or 2? Love your channel
Also...walls work all the time. They're incredibly easy to build and aid in enforcing constitutional law. They only fail if you lack the will to enforce your own laws...as we do today
not lack the will, those in power now refuse to enforce them. they want it that way. oh, and one more thing, Lets Go Brandon.
Lol
@@thomaschristopher8593 I don't know how to break this to you, but a lack of will is EXACTLY what leads to that refusal.
It’s funny how predictable you guys always are
Oversimplified is amazing please keep reacting to those.
Oversimplified videos are awesome! History with humor easy way to learn!
When it comes to nuclear weapons remember what Winston Churchill once said to the US Congress:
“Be careful above all things not to let go of the atomic weapon until you are sure and more than sure that other means of preserving peace are in your hands!”
Yes, I do want to see the second part
I find it so strange that both sides claimed the Nukes were for defense but they couldn’t trust each other enough to get rid of them
16:45 the Russians were good at doing things in space first, but it tended to be the bare minimum. For example, they sent the first satellite up, but all it did was beep, while the first US satellite had all sorts of scientific instruments on it. The planned Soviet moon lander had only room for one guy, no room to sit down, involved a space walk to actually get to, was unpressurized, and was only stocked with enough provisions to stay on the lunar surface for several hours. The US lander by comparison was pressurized, had an airlock, could comfortably house two people, and could stay on the lunar surface for days at a time, later ones even had a rover
In the scene where JFK is talking in front of the Berlin Wall, there was graffiti on it that read "When's the next video?" I'm guessing their videos get that comment a lot.
You NEED to play Empire at War,the best Star Wars strategy and tactics war game.It's a "classic" that has been kept alive by amazing mods
you got to check out the russian revolution oversimplified next
"let me know in the comments if you want me to react to part two" Haha Bro I think you're obligated to at this point! Great videos, keep up the good work!
Love the reactions. It's always interesting to see these oversimplified vids reacted to.
British intelligence services were key partners with American intelligence services during the Cold War. The James Bond books and movies were pop culture representations of that.
If you haven't seen "The Courier" starring Benedict Cumberbatch, I recommend seeing it. It's the story about a Soviet officer, Oleg Penkovsky, and his contact with MI-6 and the CIA. Intelligence from Penkovsky allowed for a peaceful resolution to the Cuban Missile Crisis.
My father served in the US Air Force from 1955-1975. He was in communications with Strategic Air Command. He remembers US military defense condition (DEFCON) escalating to Level 2 for SAC, just short of war. This is the highest level reached since the advent of the Cold War. Even after 9/11, we never went higher than DEFCON 3.
Love watching your reactions to these. Definitely do part 2. Would love to see you react to the Three Kingdoms one as well (About Chinese history) it's a fun one and not something many people know about.
I love how the words on his hat are green so we can see through them.
The Berlin Wall was actually quite effective and walls and barricades do in fact work if you patrol them regularly
About those lost warheads, this was because in order to implement the deterrence plan they had to keep nuclear bombers in the air 24/7. They couldn't reach all the necessary high value targets without bombers and they had to assume a soviet first strike could target the airfields. At some points this was intensified because the Soviets were believed to have better ICBMs / SLMBs or because the US believed war was imminent. This pushed operational procedures to the limit (eg. operation chrome dome had recurring 24-hour flights) and caused quite a few mishaps.
I'm glad there are people still watching oversimplified's videos, the ww1 one has reached 5 years and I didn't even notice that
Do it. The videos are great and I love your more genuine reactions to both the comedy and new information. Definitely helps to be like "Ooh I didn't know that... oh well at least I'm not alone."
I'm Really hyped for the horror stuff
I actually listened to an audiobook pretty recently about the start of the Cold War. The British actually needed to pull out of Greece because they couldn’t afford to be there, and there was pressure for the US to be involved both there and in Turkey. When Truman made his case to Congress that funds were required for this, he essentially created the Truman doctrine. And unlike the funny version presented here, it basically stated that the US was open to friendly relations with communist states if those countries decided their system of their own free will. If they were being controlled by an armed minority or outside influence, then it would threaten the investment in freedom that the allies had made during World War II. Thus, Greece became the first conflict of the Cold War.
Crazy how he showed us how all the wars are connected from ww1 and on
I would love to see you do the French Revolution oversimplified next. It leads into the Napoleonic wars series very well
Hell yeah brutherrrrrr! Part 2 Part 2 Part2!!!!! Woot woot!
“Walls never work” proceeds to get proven wrong 😂
Hey, I was driving in Chesterton today and I saw a bus that had been renovated to be an RV. Was that you? It probably wasn't but it reminded me of you.
A really good watch about the rise of Krushchev is "The Death of Stalin" film from a few years ago. Its remarkably faithful to what happened in the wake of Stalin's death and is brilliantly, if quite darkly, funny!
OriginalHuman, I recommend the Napoleonic Wars by Oversimplified, It explains how the battles go just like the American Revolution and the American Civil War
Yes please watch part 2
I think you should react to an interview by yuri bezmenov in 1983. He is a former KGB agent that talked about how the Soviet Union was subverting the USA because the KGB saw the soviets were in decline. It's super interesting and clips of it was even in the COD cold war trailer
This
the soviets were also ahead in medicine btw
it wasn't just about the eeconomy, it was equally about basic individual human rights.
Walls don't work? You serious? Seems to me they work pretty damn well.
Absolutely love d this! Definitely do part two, and continue to do oversimplified. I would highly recommend their Russian revolution and French revolution videos!
Nobody:
Not a single soul:
A blonde guy in the 80s who wearing shade at night: Bell we've got a job to do.
The Korean War is often called The Forgotten War. Millions of people died in this conflict and it's basically never taught in school, even in the United States.
Nice you react. I was born in '67 so when I came to the US in '72 meeting my step father, a us citizen, I wanted nothing to do with the military. I joined the signal corps to keep me far away from the bullets and get my EE degree my parents could not afford. Didn't work out as planned but your videos give a view I didn't entertain. Thanks.
After cold war, I recommend watching grazed by the apocalypse by lemmino. It's crazy how many times we were this close to an all out nuclear war
9:25 that was called the Arms race
Walls are like condoms, sure they aren't 100% effective but they definitely do keep most stuff in or out of where it's protecting.
You should watch both parts of the Napoleon videos, phenomenal
looking forward for more oversimplified and horror (even though I'm a coward)
Pt 2 please... also this is awsome
Haha love you man great video haha the wall works around my house
I think it's fair to say that the rivalry between the US and USSR went from economic and social disagreements to fear of nuclear annihilation the moment that there were enough nukes between the two of them to end society as we knew it.
I also wish stuff would actually specify the difference between communism and what the Soviet Union followed, which was Stalinism. Basically what Stalin turned communism into in order to benefit himself the most.
Seeing another person react to my favorite videos seems so different.
Yeah do part 2
Also, video suggestion: Young Soldier Meets Old Soldier(two British vets compare stories WW2 - iraq/Kosovo/Afghanistan)
And Dark Docs has good vids too. Your perspective would be awesome to see, esp. on the two British soldiers talking.
Can't wait to see your reaction to part 2!
WE NEED PART 2
has anyone else noticed that on the soviet flag instead of a SICKLE it's a BICKLE?!
Love these type of videos love all your content luke ill be here for when ya hit 1 mill 🔥💪🏽
It was always a battle of economics. The huge military race and all that ensued, was just a show mainly, and intended to keep them from invading. But it played right into our goals of winning through economics and prosperity. We literally forced them to produce themselves into economic and sociological collapse. Trying to keep up with us.
Love learning!
A funny part of history is that the soviet union tried to join nato. The alliance designed to counter the soviet union.
I just realized that HALO on his hat shows the video behind him.
Thank god the notification was on time. EARLY SQUAD FALL IN!
Definitely do part 2!
Yep, do Part 2
Part two please!!
You should watch the Russian Revolution videos by Oversimplfied for more context on the start of the Cold War, and why Russia became communist.
LETS GOOOO ANOTHER ONE
I’m not sure if China actually thought the US would invade, but they have always seen Korea as their buffer state. Essentially, Korea was the same canon fodder against invasion that Eastern Europe was for the Soviets. And to my knowledge, they still are. China didn’t want a US ally on their doorstep.
The Oversimplified Theme continues...YAS!
If you're into horror and have Netflix, Midnight Mass is amazing.
Hey man, you and your channel are awesome! I have a suggestion for a video you could react to! The video is called "The Enormous USS Ronald Reagan Super Carrier | Aircraft Carrier : Guardian of the Seas | Spark"! It goes into great depth at just how an Aircraft Carrier works and what life on one is like day to day and it breaks it down and whatnot! I really think you would love it! You could even split your reaction into two parts if you wants cause it is a long video! You won't regret it! Peace🤙
Yes !!!! Part 2!
8:15: “walls never work, guys.”
Are you safe inside your house? Why? It can’t have anything to do with your walls…right?
The wall in Berlin work exactly as it was supposed to. How do walls not work.
Love your videos
Interesting story about a bear almost starting ww3, in my home state of Wisconsin
Dude said walls don’t work just before learning about a 20 year long working wall
There’s an Oversimplified video about the Russian Revolution in case you’re curious how it became the soviet union.
Yeah react to part it get even more crazy
Part 2, NOW. Plz
I am from Germany, i think every country should face there past. Every country has it. But it is swept under the rug. We need to lern about the history of every country so the past doesn’t repeat. In Germany we lern all of our history, so it doesn’t repeat. History needs to be kept alive so it’s not forgotten. It’s a shame history gets avoided and ignored because the ppl are ashamed of there History, Germany doesn’t, we have plates with the names of victims so the past is never forgotten and we will make sure it never repeats.
Except you don’t. I visited Berlin and the whole time they practically shoved the agenda that the Nazis were a Catholic army in your face. Sure, Pius ended up recognizing Hitler’s power, but he had no choice. Bavarian Catholics voted adamently in favor of the continuation of Weimar, while Northern Protestants elected Hitler. Nazis massacred hundreds of thousands of Catholic Poles and thousands of German Clergy. But history is written by the globalists, so we can pretend the Nazis were all Catholic and go on with our day.
Tldr: Germany absolutely does not teach its own history.
Point being; you can’t say “it wasn’t us it was the other guys” then call that “learning your history”
@@bigploppa154 Yes, thats basically what I’m saying
@@endercat1707 My first comment was removed. Shows youtube pushing your agenda. Germans don’t teach their history, they pretend that the whole SS and all of its supporters were Catholic and just call it a Catholic thing. Couldn’t be farther from reality, but history is written by the globalists.
@@endercat1707 I visited Berlin and went on several tours, whole time was just Germans trying to convince us that “it wasn’t the good Protestants and atheists in northern Germany, it was all the evil Bavarian Catholics”. That is a blatant lie and is not your countrys history
“Part 2, do we want it?”
Is that even a question. Lol I think you already know the answer
America wasn't petty either, we gave Poland tons of economic aid once they broke free from the Warsaw Pact despite the Cold War being essentially over. Despite this they along with dozens of other countries seem to generally hate America and Americans, for no other reason than that it's the cool and hip thing to do especially in Europe.
