Football War - MiniWars #2

[GrumpyCatLawyer]

I never thought that I'd get a self harm disclaimer on a video about some stick figures fighting about soccer/football.

[Forrow]

You got that too?

[Player 2 Nation]

I assume the algorithm heard the part about the lady taking her life due to the lost soccer game, normally itll search up to the first 5 mins of a video and this video is only 5 mins long so i assume thats why it got flagged

[WorldeaterWill]

I dont get it

[Tho Bui]

[Diana Sanchez]

I'm from a Salvadoran family, I remember my father telling me this story and i didn't believe him at first.

[Victor Guevara]

My dad started laughing in the middle of his recollection and said something about how stupid it all seemed to him as a ten year old boy, seeing everyone running around, terrified. We're a Salvadoran American family.

[-cloverthespringfaerie-]

I'm from the US, but calling the sport where you kick a ball around with your feet football makes so much more sense than soccer.

[MxGachaKing]

fun fact: japan calls it サッカー (sakkā)

[J WELSHEY]

American logic for ya XD

[Ethqn]

same

[SK]

Football is honestly a dumb name for a sport where you use your feet like 3 times in a match I am American and my friends beef with me about this topic and when I bring it up they just say they don’t care and shut up

My grandpa was a high ranking military official in El Salvador during the time of the war. I'm not sure exactly how it happened, but he ended up being stationed in Honduras and got like 15 Honduran women pregnant. So we have A LOOOOOOT of family in Honduras we have never met. Edit August 2020: Hey guys! So seeing the reaction I got from this, I asked my great Auntie what the deal was with my grandfather and why he got so many confirmed women pregnant (yes, there's potentially more!) I learned that at the time my grandfather spent a lot of time in Honduras with Salvadoran settlers. At the time that the war happened, there has been a rumor around the villages that El Salvador was on the brink of becoming a US state, and it was thought that any children fathered by Salvadoran men or born to Salvadoran women would be automatic citizens. This of course, was a lie, but that didn't stop droves of beautiful young Honduran women throwing themselves at an officer. The hope was that if their children had citizenship, the mothers would somehow find a way into the country legally as well. Update September 2022: Hey everyone. In the last year I've done a fair bit of travel to Honduras and El Salvador, and I've been able to meet 3 families in Honduras that are made up of descendants of my grandfather. They reside in the Yoro and Valle departments. It's been wonderful getting to know my family, and although I've tried to get them to do a video diary with me, most of them aren't interested in doing it and are very shy. So I'll keep trying, maybe next year when I go back. Most of them are very sweet and have embraced me and they have a great sense of humor about the whole thing. I'll update this post if anything cool happens.

[Average internet user]

What a good day to be a salvadorian fr

[Ethqn]

@Sadoukist they did it to themselves

[Emperor Doge]

**Insert Shocked Pikachu here**

[Moose Watcher123]

Reminds me of ancestors of mine who fathered like 12 children, all the same woman, no multiple child pregnancies, all lived to adulthood, oh and this was during the 1600s. I suppose longevity runs in my family.

[Rahul Chauhan]

Bruh

[Perriwen Plays]

Fun fact: the Football War was the last war in which there dogfights between piston-powered WWII era fighters.

[Igor O]

@Emilio Melendez 507 ★ The Super Etandard planes sunk two important British ships, so they were at least as useful as the A-4, I would say.

[Trancera]

Radial engine sounds way cooler than piston powered.

[Jay Cisneros]

A friend of our family had to crash against a "Honduran" Zero-G because he couldn't take it down otherwise

[A Certain Student]

Until 2022

[Big O]

Cool

[Solomon]

Discretion Advised. Really? I just want to watch a group of animated people go to war because both their football teams suck.

[Amaan Sameer]

@Kitsune_Bot warning: stupid warnings ahead.

[ReechSteven]

HONDURAS DOESNT SUCK we just merely fail to win

[Rodrigo]

@Solomon Their teams are surely better than yours lmao

[Mateo]

Bruh I got cringe commie hippie mumbo jumbo advisory my self. Cause said includes talk about suicide 😂

[Joe]

“Pass the ball" “I have no legs" This channel is gold!

Use your head.

[Myles]

Ok

[AJ khan]

@Yellow marshmellow puff nob uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[AJ khan]

Joe is the guy who you replied too... -__- seriously bro?

[swordsmanoftime3001]

I´m form El Salvador and I showed my mother who lived through the war and she agreed with everything said here. She even told me a story for context: General José Alberto Medrano, along with his forces, dressed themselves as monks to cross into Honduras riding on donkeys. After crossing he went on to fight in the battle that crippled the Honduran airforce at Toncontin International airport.

[stranger]

I am sorry but I can't stop laughing at the riding donkeys part 😭

[A-10 Warthog]

You’re wrong unless you got it right -OverSimplified 2017

[A-10 Warthog]

@SiD tHe kiD such a Debbie downer

[SiD tHe kiD]

@A-10 Warthog yes oversimplified did say that we watched the video

[h]

I didn't lose! I merely failed to win!

[Bambina Saldana]

Every 60 seconds,a minute passes in Africa.

[Juancitø]

md z You did better than most of the people watching the video

[Oatmeal]

I’m a Honduran, and my dad talks about this all the time. I searched it up, and found this video. Thanks for explaining, because I had no idea what the hell he was talking about. Thanks lol

[pigeonpaw]

@rational conservative latino parents usually describe things with a lot of exaggeration, slang, and spanglish that non native spanish speakers may not understand

[rational conservative]

Did you ever think about just listening to your dad?

[The Symbiote Nation.]

@Jordie B also we moved away from there, it's a lost cause at this point...

[The Symbiote Nation.]

@Jordie B we talk like Venom because it's both entertaining and our brand, if you can tell by the name and pfp

[Hyperion]

Ah yes, if I ever find myself the barely legitimate leader of a corrupt Central American country, I will follow his advice

[Kelvin Yang]

Bro, how is that possible!

[ReechSteven]

wdym honduras is comepletely legit and not corrupts (not our last president being arrested for being a drug lord or something)

[PlagueDoc]

I mean, nicaragua's pretty much free to take rn so maybe you should get on that

[7325 Abhijay Agarwal]

@Liam Welsh Start a war, lose, and blame the other side for making you lose

[Canadaball Playz]

Fun fact: When the UN called a meeting discussing whether Taiwan should be recognised internationally as a country or not, El Salvador was the one and only country who voted for them to be recognised.

[HIPLSNOLS]

based el salvador

[Gipsy_3O3]

​@Canadaball Playz that was Mexican

[Canadaball Playz]

@Erick Chinchilla they were also the only ones to protest against Nazi Germany's annexation of Austria and the Sudetenland

[Erick Chinchilla]

Very proud of them for that to this day

[Paul Kirwan]

My dad is from El Salvador and my mom is from Honduras. Yea family gatherings are great

[CrisXD]

oh

[Melanie Cooper]

So what’s dinner like when talk about this

[Pengun Channel]

futbooooooooooooooll

[largol33t1]

@Imari Sharp But what if one his little cousins runs into the room shouting "Yayy! Let's play some football!" 😂😂

[Marz Racc]

I'm Honduran and I love to ask my parents about this. I see this very interesting to learn and listen.

[Full Metal Theorist]

El Salvador and Honduras : *Fighting* America : *Quietly stealing bananas in the background.*

@ococrash + my

[Sheikh Jesmar Gil V. Cubilla]

Sus bananas

[hazy]

knowing america, they prob werent doing it quietly

[Glenn Zarate]

@Wombat Chiquita, for example.

[Jhonny Silverhand]

As a Salvadoran myself I’m impressed how you really oversimplified the whole situation both countries now understand that our problems come from corrupt politicians a we deeply love each other

[William Moreno]

We do we also mixed with each other lol.

[Jhonny Silverhand]

@Jou t7 the government of honduras at that time wanted a scapegoat. it was easier to blame foreigners than to accept their incompetence

[Jou t7]

Didnt El Salvador citizens start to make Bananas for Hondarus, when started living and working in Hondarus, so why did the Hondarus president blame El Salvador immigrants stealing Hondarus Bananas.

[Jhonny Silverhand]

@durdleduc exactly. I hope they made a video about our civil war and how it was more about drug trafficking rather than a proxy Cold War

[durdleduc]

that's good to know!! i think the point of these mini-war episodes are to simply explain the main bulletpoints of famously myth-surrounded wars, like the 100 hour war (because people like to think wars like these are always baseless and just say "haha, two countries tried to kill each other over football.) either way, i'm glad you guys are doing well :D

[SpeedyWings2323]

My great grandmother was an immigrant that went to Honduras to find work and after the war erupted she was among the huge wave of Salvadorans returning to El Salvador. She survived this war and the Salvadoran Civil War and has passed away yesterday September 7th 2020 due to the Coronavirus here in Texas. Her memory will always live on. Adios Abuelita 💕

[Erick Chinchilla]

Que descanse en paz tu Abuelita, mi hermano Salvi 🙏

[Mr. Meatler]

I dont know what its like to lose someone like that, it must feel terrible. Im so sorry!

[J. Iglesias]

I'm also bilingual :) I have a spanish last name but I don't speak Spanish... Lol I speak english and polish

[Mr Magmo]

@SpeedyWings2323 Kennedy city, Honduras. She was. Born in 1917

[SpeedyWings2323]

@Mr Magmo where was she from? And may she rest in eternal peace

[Max Power]

These Oversimplified videos are informative and fun to watch, great job

[carbohydrate child]

all of your videos make me go "that's funny" and "that's extremely messed up" at the same time

[The Belen]

Ikr. I'm laughing, but at the same time trying not to laugh because it's litteraly war.

[Vib]

Most of history is so messed up,that the situations just become absurd and so they seem funny to us now.

[Chicken_Ketchup]

ironic

[In a galaxy far,far away]

I’ve seen this video so many times that when he says , “quick you have 2 seconds to name these two countries .” I always get them right.

[tower defense enjoyer]

El Salvador. And Honduras

[るなめりあ]

Honduras didnt lose It just merely failed to win

[Ellison Palaima]

Watch …………….. :

[Mygg Jeager]

@ареф нар I don't get it

[Mygg Jeager]

Lol, Russia be like:

[Mahalaxmi SaGi]

"I merely failed to win!"

[-Superstar2-]

How about you. Actually, your doing good kid :]

[HyperDimension Bliss]

"Quick, you have 2 seconds to name these 2 countries." Me with over 800 hours of looking at Hearts of Iron 4's map: the expert

[CapCody 5731]

"You have 2 second to name these two countries" Me who lives in Costa Rica and they have been our Central American neighbores since independence and after 10 years of studying this borring Central American history: wait who was Salvador?

@Oof Ree Civil Wars in a nutshell.

[2HotFlavored]

Same here xD

[Oof Ree]

jacob f lol yeah “The Mexican forces have defeated the Mexican uprising, and although Mexico will continue to fight in exile, this is still a major victory for Mexico.

[Sam Chiu]

5:14: "In the end, nobody achieved anything, and there were no winners." Sounds like WWIII oversimplified to me...

[Danny Beane]

We got ya, time traveler.

[Bruh Moment]

@JoseP well, the trailer already came out

[Sam Chiu]

​@European Enjoyer I'm not quite sure if the conflict in Ukraine will become WWIII. I think it'll just fizzle out.

[Liberty Prime]

@European Enjoyer Ha, good one. NATO would absolutely roll over russia, winter or not.

[Liberty Prime]

@Jacob Schweiger Exactly, ww2 resulted in anime and now humanity has been barred from entering the gates of heaven for creating such a horrific abomination.

[Furichu Raichu]

The shortest war and the shortest video. Perfectly balance history! I liked it a lot! :D

[Austria-Hungary]

actually zanzibar vs britain is the shortest war in history

[Shady Zummar]

As a Honduran, I appreciate the attention to detail in the beer cans in the hotel scenes! That’s cerveza nacional (now known as salvavida)

[nope]

We love unneeded disclaimers on over simplified videos

[Phoenix The HeroHater]

But oversimplified! El Salvador didn’t declare war on Honduras, The Vikings did

[yes]

The vikings presumably saw a dingo being eaten by a crocodile, being eaten by a death adder, being eaten by a koala, being eaten by Mel Gibson and thought to themselves "Yes, Good"

[KineticManiac]

@angelo shamus So is his. Watch emu war.

[Abul Khayer]

@sinub801 He got the joke, but you didn't.. So, get out

[RMT. W Coffey]

@k.k slider oh wow so quirky

[Trevor Seeley]

This enraged oversimplified, who punished this guy severely

[vastar25]

Im from Honduras and I really appreciate your work and the accuracy of the narrative, saddly the only winner of that war was the banana companies who has control of the country in that time

[Vladimir Eguizabal]

greetings from El Salvador

[The Symbiote Nation.]

@Daniel Harvison indeed

[Daniel Harvison]

@The Symbiote Nation. That's real world history for you. This is why we bury ourselves in make-believe!

[The Symbiote Nation.]

It's like Donkey Kong country... but real... and depressing

[Pratum Vulpes]

Every war is depressing, but this has to be one of the most depressing wars in history. Bonus depression points for how US influence was one of the causes of the war and the fact that the US exploited Honduras economically before, during, and after the conflict.

[dukeofirony]

@A Cat US companies were actively supported by the government itself to do these sort of things. This is only one instance where they did do that; there are dozens more across Central and South America.

[A Cat]

It seems to that it was mostly the US companies this time not actually the US itself

[Mah Lawn]

We need more commenters like you that actually take these videos seriously.

[Esteban Echevarría]

You know what would be good? A continuation of the mini series on the shortests wars

[RWallace514]

1:48-1:58 Yep, this is truly a football. this is everything about football condensed into but a few seconds. Good job.

[James Marjan]

An incredibly remarkable story

[Jonni]

the US somehow finds itself involved in every situation

[FryBoi]

@NO ANIME :0 because it intervenes with everything

[powder clan]

[Cmon ༊*· ̊]

@xJGB // Gaming _Like how they helped fuel the mujahideens in Afghanistan which in turn created the Taliban, which in turn caused 9/11_

[Nelson Cruz]

The Salvadoran civil war was incredibly brutal. I’ve heard stories from my parents and grandparents. From what they’ve seen, entire towns were rounded up. And executed for being suspected of harboring rebels

[Baby Sonic GT]

@Wozami gamez wow hahahahaa funny...

[Wozami gamez]

@Canasmax That is both sad and Horrifying.

[Wozami gamez]

@Baby Sonic GT Wait your dad went to get milk.

[Carolina Coreas]

@Canasmax that's so sad.

[Canasmax]

@Carolina Coreas a popular way of torture was by hammering construction nails into the under part of people's nails. My mom told me that during the war, a huge bus full of kids had come to their place to study and learn. By the end of the war, they were all dead.

[K]

I'm Honduran and I'm going bananas over this video. Great job! Also, props on accurately depicting the beer cans. Immediately recognised the brand.

[Forrow]

Nice one

[Arturo Müller Matheu]

Honduras and el Salvador: fight Guatemala and Belize what the hell is going on down there Love to Salvador and Honduras from Guatemala 🇬🇹🇭🇳🇳🇮

[Itz Been Dakav Gaming]

The U.S.: "Someone say 'Naners?"

[Ray Banner]

"... and I'm going bananas over this video" Dude, seriously... 😑😑

[Max Hayward]

Used to live in Honduras. Love the inclusion of the Salva Vida beer cans!

[West mezzanine]

What’s the worst of the Amelia Bolaños situation is if she’d just held out, she would’ve seen her team come back and win the series. Obviously suicide is never a solution to anything, particularly to a sporting event, but it’s sad that she could’ve survived had she waited, or had El Salvador even won the first game so she would have something to keep her hopes up

[Isaac Gary]

@The Algerian it boggles your megamind that people watch these videos to have a simple version of history?

[The Algerian]

@Isaac Gary Yes. Yes I can. How can you just sit there, purposefully watching videos about History and still have such a simplistic view of events like these? This really, genuinely boggles my mind.

[Isaac Gary]

@The Algerian i mean the video is called football wars. Can you blame them?

[The Algerian]

I'm amazed by how many people actually think this is about football.

[Joey Fowler]

I had a very hard time watching this video today. Apparently, KZbin thinks giving me a content warning, that I pressed ignore 50 times on, means I still don't want to learn from past. Thank goodness real history is so family friendly and never repeats itself, since it's so difficult to learn from now.

[mohamed meskini]

a kid couldn't name those two countries this enraged his father, who punished him severely

[Lucas Pena]

@Mygg Jeager 'Nazi' I died

[Mygg Jeager]

Lol oh I did Nazi that coming.

[Lucas Pena]

Perfect

[Arms Nnakwe]

Bestest ever comment

[Shrey Shah]

@Edd Grs and he was severely punished: Hitler vid

This angered their fathers...

[Dominic last name here]

i din't lose i merely *gets cut off* (robes pierre) To the guillotine

[Julius Raben]

3:42 on of the best broken plane aninations ever xD

[María Celeste]

@Liberty Prime bruh I live in Honduras and the airport is lit like next to my house lmao its not scary Maybe I'm just used to it idk

[pyrosanta74]

Did anyone get like a weird notification about this video causing self harm or suicide cause this is a history thing

[Alisha Vilela]

Yea

[Gertie the bus]

yeah

[nope]

@Sammich I did

[Radiant Knee Knight SharaShaymin]

KZbin added a warning about it, likely because of 2:15 It's not a cause, just a heads-up that suicide is mentioned in the video

[Edwin Flores]

I showed my father this video, a Salvadorean himself, he knows first hand a lot that has happened during the Salvadoren Civil War. So when i showed him the video he just kept nodding in agreement and then 5:18 when you showed the real winner of this war he just nodded and said, "yeah just about sums it up" Update: OVER 800 LIKES!?! Holy crap guys thanks ^^ August 2020 Update: ....I made this comment a year ago...and now it has 3.3K likes....HOW!?

[D1ndad0r]

I would show it to my Salvadoran dad but he doesn’t know English lol

[Lord Eddard Stark]

3.3k likes fam

[lisica]

So he didnt get enraged and didnt punish u severly

[Luisito Libre]

Honduran here, same thing.

[Luisito Libre]

Riff Raff A huevo!

[Simplified Battles]

Love this Mini-war series. You are great at this military stuff.

[Petrichor]

My family was disappointed in me for not naming the countries. I’m glad this video was made since I would always ask my grandparents “why did you come to Australia” and they only answered me with “A war” and I’m not sure if this was the war they were talking about but I’m glad I got some way to understand what “the war” was actually about, and why my family is disappointed that I can’t properly play soccer.

[Petrichor]

Happygamer 3 Bahaha I forgot I commented this I’m actually dumb. Football / soccer 😐

[Happygamer 3]

football dude

[W H A T]

I never knew the Football War was an actual war. I thought it was just a series of Honduras vs. El Salvador football games.

[Iwuedfh]

"Or if you're a freedom loving patriot, soccer" Sad Canadian Noises ( for context we also call it soccer )

[Turtl3e]

@Watcher ZeroI know this reply section is from a while ago but the war of 1812 was a draw

[Ryan Smith]

I wouldn't advertise that unless you're actively looking to get bullied by Europeans. It's a pain interacting with them on soccer Twitter because if I don't call it football I end up getting ignored/ratio'd.

[New]

And y’all qualified for the World Cup finally, congrats!

[Nemo]

@Smug Snivy what are you talking about?

[Nemo]

@Watcher Zero wasn't that primarily Britain?

[Case Callista]

Ahhh , the good ol' days when even a friendly football match turns into a full fledged war 😬🤐

[jacobe5]

1. War is bad 2. War is not good Sounds good to me

[mannyy]

Not for me

[MrMustardBottle]

Totaly legit

[MiG-21 Fishbed]

War...war never changes

[Tamil gaming channel]

Wait what

[Lucas Stallone Tesla]

You shoud get a heart

[Jan Koopman]

So the El Salvadoran team was completely exhausted, yet the Honduran team only scored 1 goal in the last minute? Yeah... I think we all know what that would mean for the skills of the two teams...

[Wozami gamez]

@Jim Jim Well they are good with each other but bad with other team, but Honduras cannot even do a goal, yeah Tat shows the skill of Hundouras

[G.O.A.T]

@Jim Jim no

[Jim Jim]

They're both terrible

[G.O.A.T]

@Viltautas yea no prob

[Viltautas]

@G.O.A.T damm, most people would flame the shit out of me, but respect man

[Falcon_by_the_lake]

A friend recommended this one. Delightful art style, and goofy, yet your presentation still sold the idea of the horror of that war.

[Marshawott]

I am just surprised how far these countries would go over a football loss in the 1960s

[Nick Zardiashvili]

"So in the end, nobody achieved anything and there were no winners." - That's most wars in history, in my opinion.

[Wozami gamez]

@Zekedia222 The main reason at least in my opinion was because of USSR capture of Berlin which saw the Death of Hitler.

[Wozami gamez]

@thesummergamer They did had kinda of reasons, before the attack on Poland, Czechoslovakia was a target of Hitler, Britain and France got involved in it mainly because of How they didn't wanted the great war, so they set up a meeting in Munich, and had Hitler Sign a piece of paper which stated that Hitler calm downs. But Hitler still invaded after the Munich agreement. Second reason was hostility for The Jewish.

[Epsilonsama]

There was a winner.

[tovar26]

Perhaps learn some history then... there are clear situations where one must go to war for the greater good (like the Union to end slavery - seems like there's a winner there no?)

[thesummergamer]

@Zekedia222 it is good that the allies won but if you think about it germany was just expanding their territory in the east but france and the uk declared war for no reason just like what the us did on this war

[Erick Chinchilla]

My uncle fought in this war (For El Salvador where we are from). His helmet had 3 very visible bullet dents. He would have been in his mid 20's.

[RKyve]

I couldn't name those two countries in less than two seconds Which enraged my father, who punished me severely

[Roman Soviet]

I could

[Pan American World Airways]

Nice adolf hitler video reference

[Vorceful]

meme approved

[PyroRock814]

I had a babysitter when I was a kid who was from El Salvador and she told me that this war was one of the main reasons why she moved to the United States.

[Bob McGuffin]

To be fair "Those are our citizens, stop bullying them" and "We really don't have enough land for the citizens already here plus these ones to live and thrive on" are both perfectly legitimate moral reasons not to want the El Salvadorian immigrants evicted

[DJ rebel]

It's kind of funny how all over the world different sports have different names depending on the country sometimes it can get pretty confusing

[Mario S]

I Loooooove all the random shot of football! Like from the most recent moment to shit outta a '96 textbook. Oversimplified is just amazing 👏

[Paula Mendoza]

Hi! I was wondering if you could send me the bibliography you used for the Football War video. I'm going to do a paper for uni on the subjet inspired by your video. t'd be a lot of help. Thank you! Your channel is my absolute favorite 😊

My grandparents lived in Ocotepeque, really close the border with El Salvador, during this war. My grandpa's family ran away to other Deparment but his father sent him, his brother and an employee to get their cows that were left in Ocotepeque. When they arrived and found the cows, the employee said he wanted to see if he could get something from the business that were abandoned. After a long wait, he didn't returned so my grandpa and his brother came back without him. The employee was captured by the Salvadorian army in the middle of the town and he was sent to jail in El Salvador. He was sent back to Honduras later, and was able to return home like 4 years after the war ended. Moral of the story, don't steal.

[Te Leo y Dibujo]

I'm from Honduras, and you make an excelent video, so sad for this episode of the history, but also, so funny how you delivered. BTW, hate to the banana business.

[Hanna Mäkelä]

This war puts the Sweden-Finland ice hockey matches into perspective.

[mixtin]

This video makes me somewhat proud to have a Salvadoran mother.

The Football War of 1969: Belligerents: El-Salvador Vs Honduras Winner: USA

[Cappacho!]

@Razgriz 914 it’s a mix of both actually. Esp in the case of Guatemala. The 10 years before the PBSuccess coup are referred to as the “10 years of spring” mostly because a lot of Guatemalans had hope that their government at the time could take care of them. After the coup, the country spiraled into a civil war that didn’t end until the 90’s with each leader being more brutal than the last. Not so sure about Mexico but Central America’s problems stem from both incompetent colonial governments that have struggled to find a good way to govern themselves since their existence and intervention from foreign powers

[Cappacho!]

@Karsten Schoenberg Chiquita lol

[Anh Tuấn Nguyễn]

Agree

[DeeJay Aech]

As an american i apologize for our stupid government. I swear the average american doesnt know what central america is let alone hate it.

[Luis Martinez]

@Vignesh B oh that makes much more sense

[𝕾𝖆𝖑𝖆𝖟𝖆𝖗]

Your way of telling the history is and might be the most hilarious. Thanks mate you always made my day

[Hannah Neighbors]

Nothing has made me feel more at home than the tiny animated Salva Vida cans on the ground outside the hotels OMG

[CaptainCole]

"The following content may contain suicide or self harm topics" BRUHH WTF

[Musab playz]

you also had that message

[Onyx Dragon]

Thanks for this video (despite being a year old). I only heard brief clips about this 'football war', but now your vid clarified everything. It was sad that a war had to break out on land instead of settling issues on the futball field.

“So in the end, no one achieved anything, and there were no winners.” War in a nutshell.

[Beautiful sky]

@MattC80 But we called Football first so we are the Original with Rugby

[Channel Name]

@l Americans aren't the only group of people to call it soccer. Regardless, there's nothing wrong with the word soccer

[Channel Name]

@Flavivs Aetivs There's nothing wrong with the word soccer

[Alex Hamer]

@Channel Name Tbh calling it soccer is not as bad as it sounds to me. Considering that Americans call 'american football' football that does keep it simple. I just wish that they didn't make it so annoyingly complex

[Channel Name]

@Alex Hamer I don't disagree, I think the world's a better place if everyone spoke the same way (in their respective languages), but the word is interesting BECAUSE people speak differently, even if they speak the same language. I find both words to be legitimate ways of referring to the sport, maybe I just think people have a harsher opinion on the word "Soccer" because it's associated with American culture, and it goes against the grain of European football. We've seen the backlash on Twitter and the internet when the European Super League was announced and promptly disbanded, we've seen the anti-American comments regarding it, and the "they're turning football into soccer" comments.

[Laura Rivera]

Jajajajaja love how he manages to make diplomacy disputes so funny and entertaining

[Eli Cokelet]

El Salvador: starts a war OAS: THERE'S A TAX FOR THAT

[Erfan Eden Donata]

@Nigel Marvin there is tax for that reply too

[Nigel Marvin]

Eli Cokelet: **comments a “there’s a tax for that” comment There’s a tax for that,

[Erfan Eden Donata]

There is tax to for write that comment

[Sunny 3OD]

the tax's father will punish it severely

[European Union]

This is how serious this sport has got, even English crowd is involved now.

[German Aguirre]

Love all your videos, but this one has earned you my "Like & Subscribe" my good man... You are a true oversimplified scholar on conflicts, no matter how global or obscure they may be. Well done!

I want one for the Anglo-Zanzibar War, as it was the shortest war ever, having lasted about 38 minutes

[Mirza Ahmed]

Make the video 38 minutes long.

[Yugbodh Khanal]

It was british zanzibarwar

[theoutlook55]

@TandemDwarf oh wow. Thanks very much. I was dead wrong about the bloodshed, pun intended.

[TandemDwarf]

@theoutlook55 You're kind of right. It started because of the accession of a new sultan that Britain didn't like, and as stated ended 38-45 minutes later when the leader fled to a German embassy. There was fighting though, 500 of the sultan's forces were killed and a single British sailor was wounded

[theoutlook55]

@Priya Choudhary I very vaguely remember that it was started and ended during a contentious diplomatic meeting. No actual fighting had the chance to get underway. I'm not sure though.

[Storm-Trooper-JJ]

Oversimplified, thank you for teaching me all those Central American countries, because when I took Spanish in high school I was like the only one who knew the names of them

[Don Senuja]

Thanks to you,I got a A plus for history

[Johnny]

The “Good work, boys” at 2:51 for some reason absolutely floored me. Don’t know why I thought that was so funny.

[Т1000 Youtube]

So apparently my memories of Mini Wars 1 and 2 mixed up and that's why it felt like a fever dream

[John Rockett]

El Salvador: Dude! What are you doing to my people??? Honduras: They aren't your people because they are on my territory. El Salvador: THEY CAME FROM ME! Meanwhile some hundred miles away... America: Look at those countries talking so nicely to each other. Maybe they are talking about new ways to ship me bananas.

[Jubjub McNasty]

@Juan Honduras was. And that's delicious.

[Hay pog]

chilled viper i hate bananas.

[Audiel Amaya Estrada]

@Utopia my great uncle got injured, he still lived until he died in the 80s, not from the injury but poisoned. :(

[Utopia]

EddyPlays55 ! Same my great uncle actually fought in the war

[DY]

xD

[Aaronlol]

Ireland also calls “football” soccer because we have a sport called Gaelic football and it’s quite popular and it gets constantly mixed up so it’s a lot easier to call it soccer

[ShamanMcLamie]

It's good to see the Irish speak proper English as well.

[dark]

@sabin97 I meant america as in USA

[sabin97]

@dark in all of america(except usa, and maybe canada who are their lapdogs) we call it futbol(or "football", for the spanish impaired). none of that soc-cer bullshit.

[dark]

@fired skull Yes you do use your foot in gridiron, at the start of every game even.

[Wilson Martinez]

I was born in Honduras, so I watch this basically every day

[Sarawut S. Art]

I just couldn't resist cracking up by the cheerful banana guy, lmao.

[REME]

Great video and very well narrated.

[Blue Byrd]

The intro to this video is phenomenal

[I Love Bees]

What have we learned from this? You can't escape from Big Banana

[AUDIOGYNEPHILE]

thats actually true. look up "1928 banana massacre" and "1954 guatemalan coup". big banana is just as evil as big oil

[A cat with a fancy hat]

Big business

[largol33t1]

@Gio LOL, I went to college with the son of the guy who exports them throughout the Americas...

[Gio]

If I'm not mistaken, the company was never actually punished for this either. After every atrocity that they committed (because they "persuaded" high ranking authorities to basically establish dictatorships) the consequence they got was..... A name rebranding. They go by Chiquita Banana now. Their bananas are still everywhere in stores

[Lucas Z]

xD

[Cri -]

You’re an absolute genius. Please make more videos. Can you make some on the story of art?

[Jyotshna Gogoi]

Me when I see oversimplified calls it football as well: I see your a man of culture as well.

[Mo Luther]

Fun fact: the football war was stopped by Ngolo Kante's smile
