[@glennjanot8128]

Anyone else thinking that the "I win Ivan I vanquish" is kinda like a sidebar to Veni Vidi Vici? ^^ Teach, Ivan was played by NicePeter, Lloyd was Frederick, Alexander was Zach Sherwin, who helps Peter and Lloyd with writing a lot of the ERBs and Pompeij is actually one of the producers of the ERBs, hence him not having any rap lines, Great reaction, as usual 👍👍

[@clearlynotchloe]

oh it 100% is imo

[@MrTrellheim]

So, so much talent in this one. This is the way to do a multi-battle. I've said it before and I'll say it again: Nice Peter IS a GREAT actor, at least in the way this battles need him to be. Epic Lloyd is a better rapper and this sometimes makes Peter parts seem understated, but man, the authenticity he brings to his roles... Also, a recognition to Zach Sherwin (Alexander the Great), who might as well be the unofficial third member of ERB (and is a permanent part of the staff) and always delivers some sick raps. Old Fritz, Old Fritz, Old Fritz, Old Fritz, Old Fritz, Old Fritz, Old Fritz, Old Fritz, Old Fritz, Old Fritz...

[@majinsole8554]

Never seen anyone break an ERB battle down like this! Love the categories you created and props to you for making it fun! ~_~

[@UltimateGamerCC]

i love the idea of going back and grading battles you previously did, as long as you still get to ones you havent done it should only be a boon to do these twice.

[@oldeskul]

For me Catherine the Great won it with the line "It takes a Russian to beat a Russian", which is a nod to the fact that the only country that could beat Russia is Russia. Of course in her first verse, she shut down Ivan so hard that he could only come back with the lame horse diss that she completely shut him down in her second verse and then closed the casket on him by saying "I'm not queen, Empress to Tsar 8, checkmate." I can see your argument for Frederick the Great and yes, right out the gate Old Fritz brought the fire, but to me Alexander the Great spat hotter.

[@TeacherEddieHistory]

Except Catherine wasn’t Russian, I explained that in my full breakdown and that line doesn’t work for me personally

[@oldeskul]

@@TeacherEddieHistory True. She was from the Holy Roman Empire. She fully embraced everything Russia and when her man child of a husband wouldn't do his job, she overthrew him and became the first woman to be Tsar.

[@huginmunin8253]

Exept she was prussian/german but of course she adopt to Russias culture so she behaved like a russian. Also other countries has beaten Russia like Poland-lithuania and Sweden

[@yungsavage9120]

That horse diss was deep tho

[@frosteagle464]

Whats up eddie this is my favoirite battle cant wair for you to do the thanos vs j robert

[@TeacherEddieHistory]

mine too, I will def get back to redoing both battles, since they were my early ones.

[@Orion5010]

Not gunna lie, ERB has always gone hard when female singers did their thing. Epic Lloyd just fucking nails his bars like a railroad worker.

[@rockmailer07]

Shouldn't the last 2 awards subtract points instead of adding since they're negative? Pompey came dangerously close to the top there. Love the channel and the new scoring series!

[@TheLibermania]

This

[@andrewpilipenko1894]

Hi @TeacherEddieHistory. Let me be clear: I love your breakdowns. I am from Russia and because of that I often miss some things - i.e. almost all in "Jefferson vs Douglas". But that is not the point. The point is - you even know our history better then most of of us and it's very interesting to learn new facts from your comments. Thank you for your work, you returned my interest to history - I never thought it can be interested until your videos. Keep going!

[@DShadowWolf]

Just caught this... Last thing Catherine does is knock over the white king - Ivan died during a game of chess...

[@PaoloMG]

Kudos!!!!

[@dukeragereaver2208]

Eddie, youve gotta do Churchill vs Roosevelt, as far as this battle is concerned, i like alexanders round the most, its flashy and has alot of great references, plus that bucephalus!

[@ProgPiglet]

when ERB is good, its really good. basically a masterpiece for what it is. great vid as well, i like the format c:

[@dergrimmigezwerg333]

I think authenticity award would have also fit very well for Pompey. His representation of his journey to Egypt was spot on. That would leave him tied for the win, without even doing anything more than saying his name. Very impressive.

[@demonwolf5671]

I agree. Love the new style of grading.

[@marcusgliddy-keetash4692]

You should listen to sabaton since they do A-LOT of history based songs like “Primo Victoria”, “Ghost division”, “defence of Moscow”, “Bismarck”, “The attack of the dead men”, “Uprising”, “Fields of verdun” , “Last dying breath” And so much more. Another band that I think you would like is called “citizen soldier” they do a LOT of mental health based songs like “Face to Face”, “Buried Alive”, “hope it haunts you” , “I’m not okay”, “would anyone care”, “devil inside”, “never good enough” and once again a LOT more

[@aaronparker8029]

Fredrick the Great literally comes in like hild my flute

[@enkeli19]

Fredrick put his leg up like Ian Anderson while playing his flute

[@cassper3898]

Dude I love drop dead Fred haha

[@JDP5127]

This is one of the battles where everyone has a great and unique flow, which makes it so much harder to pick a winner.

[@blindangel7472]

Maybe do Rasputin vs Stalin since it also has like 4-5 people

[@edwardblair4096]

All of whom appear behind Ivan in his "first Tsar of Russia" line 1:24.

[@brosk9694]

The battles really hit different when you play the battle all the way through

[@OtakuJuanma2]

Catherine (or at least the girl playing her) is totally my type NGL.

[@taylerkuntz4805]

She has a yt? Channel megan tonjones

[@DMXIII]

I still waiting for one day see a battle rap between HP Lovecraft vs. Junji Ito

[@marcorodriguez8792]

I would like to see that

[@shannonharris898]

One subtlety that I dont think anyone has picked up on is the speculation that Catherine was very promiscuous with the guys. In this battle, when she decaps Pompey, pay very close attention to the shape of her Garrote handles.

[@Selenkate]

Catherine: Literally cuts Pompey's head off Eddie: Deepest cut award goes to Frederick. Catherine: Am I a joke to you? Jokes aside I love the grading, I wouldn't be against giving two characters a point in the same category, especially in these battles with so many characters I feel like it's hard to really fairly judge them if only one person can win. For example if you got 5 characters and 4 of them do 1 thing really well and get a point, but one of them does everything well but falls just short in each category leading to an overall total loss. Not a big deal, it's all for fun, and I agree with all the scores given

[@mcgigglefits9864]

I think Pompey and Ivan should share the authenticity award. Because of Pompey’s short journey when he died. He was authentic in how fast he got killed off. 😂 and Vader VS Hitler would be awesome for the point system. Along with Deadpool VS Boba, Oppenheimer vs Thanos, and of course Pennywise VS The Joker.

[@jakeand9020]

I don't know, I'd be tempted to give Frederick the mic drop award "Beating you only took me twelve bars."

[@eveljkov]

The only real winner of this battle is the viewer. One of the best.

[@miketrujillo3677]

Hey eddie you should really watch the Behind the scenes on this one the guy who plays alex has an AMAZING 30-40 second freestyle cut out of this battle i think youd like

[@Partrees]

Opinion question: Who do you think the single most important person in history is, and briefly (if you can) explain why? Love the content, and insights! Keep doing you. :) Edit: Rude of me to ask a question and not bother to answer it myself. For me, without question it's Augustus. He was far ahead of his time when it comes to policies, and even though he was a dictator, he tried to do best for the majority of his people. He also shaped the Roman Empire for nearly a century directly, and for its entire existence indirectly. Without him there would be none of the early emperors we know of today, and I think the Roman Empire would have fallen long before due to corruption, greed, and incompetence.

[@saber1epee0]

I think a couple of your scores should have been Cat's, but I'm biased AF... Cheers man.

[@mr.e5595]

I wouldn't have given it to Frederick, certainly not for disses. He really only dissed Ivan once, and all he did was call him ugly. Dude just rode the beat.

[@kevinkocher9347]

The puns make me watch this again and over again

[@LED816]

Frederick didn’t really have any disses aside from calling Ivan ugly. He just bragged on himself.

[@andrewspaulding8802]

alexander absolutely murdered this

[@blpitts11]

I’ll always think that opening bar from Ivan is heat

[@robbrown9743]

Pompey was so awesome that he didn't even need to battle.

[@bradparton6249]

The only thing I would have changed was the mic drop. I would have given it to Fredrick "and it only took me 12 bars."

[@voiceaton5630]

History question: what do you believe would happen if Alexander the Great appointed an heir to his empire?

[@TeacherEddieHistory]

sounds like a homework question

[@shadowyred6239]

It will depend on how competent or incompetent Alexander's Heir will be, but regardless it would only delay the inevitable or just the meant downfall

[@jacksmith-vs4ct]

I think depending on the person. there definitely still would have been some splintering but a larger chunk probably could have stayed together at least for a time.

[@MrTrellheim]

According to the historian Diodorus, he did appoint an heir, it's only nobody understood (or wanted to understand) who he was refering too. On his deathbed he was asked to whom he gave his empire. He either answered "tôi kratistôi" (to the strongest) or "tôi Kraterôi" (to Craterus, one of his generals who had been given regency over Macedonia).

[@davidharshman7645]

Odds are, there would have been no change. Alexander's empire really wasn't established enough under his rule to have followers that would have respected his wishes after he wasn't there to enforce them anymore. Especially when it would be so easy to instead just...grab power for themselves.

[@squishyfrecks2463]

I hope u react to 8th of November by Big and Rich and the documentary they did for the song

[@mauricioramirez5948]

I feel like the deep cuts should go to Cleopatra. Her miss carriage line is still top 3 ever

[@TeacherEddieHistory]

… she wasn’t even in this battle, must be an Uber fan

[@valzalel5203]

Pompei managed to get tied with Ivan lol

[@williamrhoten1612]

Try reacting to a history vs. video on the Ted ED KZbin channel

[@Painfully_Punny]

Not that this isn't great but I really miss your old style where you were breaking down every line and giving us a history lecture I know they can be tiring but I honestly got really excited when I seen a 45 min video

[@TeacherEddieHistory]

I broke this one down 7 months ago. I still do full breakdowns of each video, obviously didn’t listen to the beginning.

[@Vrandack]

Sorry Eddie, but My boy Fredrick stole the video again.

[@TeacherEddieHistory]

why are you sorry, did you watch the scoring?

[@Vrandack]

I meant he outshone you :p Excellent supercuts though

[@Krtek98LP]

Please check The Bad History - Putin as we need some russian reactions to that :D because most foreigners think of Putin just as a villain in this world not looking at him neutraly :D also that channel has a song Pewdiepie as you can quick check his history on youtube in one video :D

[@Chief-Remeldian-Olympus]

My personal favorite Ivan who won I would have give Fredrick. I am just starting to how these ERB works.

[@aaronbarlow4376]

Alexander was the greatest historical figure but Cat had some good bars. I thought Fred had the best flow.

[@rockonileva]

Well I was torn between Alexander and Old Fritz,... both of them were amazing.. But I just don't agree with the POE PWNS POSER award being about the Poser character... This is such a great line.. it should be an award to the best crafter bar on the battle

[@rockonileva]

btw.. the Edgar Allan Poe VS Stephen King is one of the best battles

[@thehollowking]

Pompey is my favorite

[@TeacherEddieHistory]

RIP

[@LED816]

Katherine had great disses but Ivan had the most.

[@wingofshu]

Pompey was ..............heading into the right direction

[@TeacherEddieHistory]

dont forget to tip your waitress, folks!

[@frosteagle464]

And yes my boy fredrick came in a did rip ivan a new deriere

[@MatoWitko]

The checkmate at the end cause Ivan died during a chess game

[@CiveSha]

I Always thought Alexander the Great were Roman. And Joseph Stalin were actually not an Tsar over Solvia Russia. So ERB did a little mistake there. But he were a dictator yes. But Thats What I heard from other's

[@TeacherEddieHistory]

That was Ivan the Terrible, Stalin was not in this ERB...

[@CiveSha]

@@TeacherEddieHistory Yes. But like in the background when he mentioned "First Tsar all of Russia" every Tsar shows up in the background. Except Rasputin and Stalin which wasn't a Tsar. But it Maybe are just all the Russian Character they have cosplayed as.

[@LED816]

They were just showing other famous Russians that came after him. Like in Thomas Jefferson vs Frederick Douglass. Showing what he was responsible for.

[@TeacherEddieHistory]

@@CiveSha or they were leaders of Russia and Ivan is claiming he’s the father of modern Russia, which he is…

[@raodvanlaontotaoke4993]

Frederick is the most enjoyable in this batle.

[@PaoloMG]

Poor Roman traitor!

[@darcraven01]

we all know Pompey won... lol jk jk Fred wins imo.. cat was second... i didnt really like alex personally

[@grantpflum6844]

I like it when you grade the videos but I am not sure of some of your categories. Like the poser and why the hell are you here? Those are negative points so why should a contender win based on those

[@TheLibermania]

As impressive as Alexanders part was, i don't think it fits into a rap battle which this is supposed to be. Maybe it's just me but at some time i though "Wow" and totally spaced out because i was thunderstruck. And even in the second and third time i needed subtitles to understand him. And honestly, as much as i hate to say this, but everyone should get an Authenticity point because i feel like they were all great in that regard.
