"A lot of times people vote for someone they don't fully agree with, just because it's the best out of the 2 bad alternatives" US elections in a nutshell

[@firehawk5962]

Unfortunately yes, that is accurate, and I am saying this as a US citizen.

There are plenty of people that blindly support candidates from both sides as well. It's just easier to blame a single person, than an entire country.

Very true, trump is bad, but Biden is 10x worse. There is no winning scenario.

Try Australian politics where we've had something like 6 or 7 PMs in less than 15 years

[@ianchapman6254]

Yes but a lot of the problem as well was the Weimar Republic had a basket-case of a constitution that essentially made it nearly impossible for any party to get a governing majority....along with emergency powers for the chancellor that were....problematic. This meant that government didn't work which added fuel to the proverbial fire. Criticize it all you like (and there is definitely room for criticism) but first-past-the-post systems like are found in the US and UK at least tend to make it much easier for governments to be formed and actually govern (although of late the US congress is a basket-case but that is another issue entirely).

treaty of Versailles really changed the world.

[@xenotypos]

It's wrong to say it created Nazi Germany though. It participated, along with the economic crisis of the 30s, the prexisting anti-jew opinions and the recent rise of fascism in Europe. Historically it already happened that other countries had to suffer from this kind of harsh treaties in the past (for example the treaty the germans imposed on the french in 1870, even the one against the Russians in 1917). Yet, it didn't create some proto-nazi countries. There are a lot of factors. And in defense of those german people from back then, it's not like anyone would have imagined what the nazis did toward the end of the war, they weren't exactly publicly boasting about it. Most people probably didn't know the most extreme aspects of it.

[@conors4430]

World War I basically I… World War I and it’s aftermath was the single biggest cataclysmic event in world history in the last 200 years. Almost everything else that has happened in the last hundred years has its roots in World War I., the rise of Bolshevism, the rise of fascism, the rise of America, the rise of Russia, the rise of China, the Cold War, Vietnam, struggles in the Middle East even islamic terrorism. It can all be linked back to World War I

[@conors4430]

@@xenotypos also, something in that I didn’t find out until quite recently is. One of the main reasons the ss even existed was to protect the Nazi government from a revolution by the German people. You don’t need a security force if the majority of people agree with you.

[@enderreaper1482]

I don’t think it was the treaty of Versailles cos in 1929 Germany was starting to recover from the hyperinflation. It was the Great Depression that led to the rise of the nazis

[@11mousa]

@@xenotypos Nah, Versailles played a crucial role, and it can hardly be compared to other harsh treaties. The main reason: Except for a brief time in the beginning, when the Russians mobilized earlier, afaik, no enemy soldier really set a safe foot on German land. A defeat without being conquered in itself is already something highly unusual (ofc, seeing the bigger picture, it was the "best" option left for Germany, but people back then couldn't see the whole picture, as they only had access to German news outlets, and were told for four years that Germany was winning the war). And the second part: Usually, treaties and war conclusions either eliminated the country fully (like St. Germain did with Austria Hungary), or they left the defeated enemy with some sort of dignity (like the conclusion of the Napoleonic Wars and the Franco-Prussian war), where they had to pay reparations that hurt, and maybe had to give up land. But Versailles basically made Germany a puppet to the "allies" in everything but name. They were not allowed their own industries to a natural extend, they were not even able to provide food to all their people when behaving according to the treaty, etc. So they were fully dependend on their former enemies (especially the US). Now take this combination: Since over 100 years prior in the Napoleonic wars, no enemy soldier has set foot on German land (the Austro-Prussian war was more or less a civil war at that point), for four years, people "knew" that the war was as good as won, then out of the blue (for everyone who had not served), Germany capitulates while mostly still in enemy territory, then they get served with full dependency on people that "have not beaten them", and finally, the enemy economy they were fully dependend on collapes and takes the shell of own economy with them. At that point, there were just two logical outcomes: Soviet style Communism, or some sort/variant of Fascism (in the end it was a combination of the worst of both radical worlds).

[@historyman9436]

7:42 The overarching plan was to actually take over Germany, its Just that they wanted to start in Bavaria to have a sort of foothold. The march which started (and ended) in Munich was called the "Marsch nach Berlin" (March to Berlin). Otherwise good video!

A little tale about a German family during the 1930's and 1940's, because the Nazi party never had a majority in the German parlement (43% at most). A lot of Germans did not support the Nazi party. My grandmother was German and lived in Germany until 1950. I asked her about what her family thought about Hitler. She told me that her father had a great dislike of the Nazi party. Her father had also fought in WWI, having a splinter of a grenade in his leg for the rest of his life. My great-grandfather became an alcoholic due to pain and trauma (I believe a classic Shellshock example) and he could never support Hitler or WWII. My great-grandparents had seven children. The eldest had to go and fight in WWII and died there. The second eldest son defected the army when he was called to fight at the age of 18 and survived. And the second eldest daughter died because in the last months of the war, due to hunger and illness. The Nazi's demanded that people living close to boarders with Allied troops near them (in my grandmothers case, the Netherlands), had to move to a 'safe' location. This ment leaving almost everything and getting into transport to said location. When they got back, most of their house was damaged due to bombings.

I watched like 3 of your videos and now you fill up my entire recommended section. Literally every video is one of yours. But obviously I’m not complaining 😎

[@JQS_96]

Great recommendation on Hitler: Rise of Evil, I remember watching it years back and it’s brilliant

[@maximustiberius3036]

People will do anything to feed their starving children. "I'm aware of the tremendous feats human beings are capable of once they abandon dignity."

[@Ghostbatman98]

I like the videos you put out, really entertaining to watch and get some more insight on basic videos. Since you're a historian I'm curious if you've read the book, A History of Central Banking and the Enslavement of Mankind, or watched the videos, Europa: The Last Battle? I'm curious what your thoughts on them would be

[@Lildeeper2]

Glad I found this channel subscribed right as I watched one video :)

[@nessesseda]

As a german, having to watch these videos only via reactiob channels, because they are blcked in Germany, really makes you think if people haven't learned anything...

[@trojanette8345]

I agree. I've also heard that denying that the Holocaust existed is a crime in, Germany. Is that true? Just curious.... as a school girl or school boy how much were you taught about the Holocaust and H --?

[@nessesseda]

@@trojanette8345 Deniying the Holocaust can get you in Prison on repeat offences. Just last week a notorious 96 yr old Lady was sentenced to one year in Prison. As for school, you have Holocaust education from grade 6 to 12, and not only in history class but also in language, politics, social sciences and geography classes.

[@trojanette8345]

@@nessesseda Interesting.I had heard a little bit about this but I didn't know how much of it is true. Thank You.

[@sclarke6969]

Love these videos. Found your channel from the ExtraCredits WW1 video. Here's to overtaking your daughter 😅

[@djflick8631]

Love the content sir history was my favorite subject in school keep up the great work !!!

[@kvman]

I love this channel. You are a true scholar of history and I am learning somthing new when I watch your videos. The fact that you made a Star Wars comparison is beautiful. I would like for you have a look at Extra History's Bismark or Cuba Missile Crisis series, both are good and I honestly think you will enjoy it.

[@VloggingThroughHistory]

Bismarck is one of the most common requests I get, so expect it soon. And thank you for the kind words.

[@tomeravrahami1327]

As a jew living in Israel I dodnt even knew this video existed thanks to u I could watch it and get your analysis as well. I'm really fascinated with hitler's story and how eventually let to ww2 and the death of millions. Such a sad and interesting story

[@xtremebatter2689]

I have watched this channel for 2 weeks and it is already one of my favourites

[@VloggingThroughHistory]

Thank you. Glad to have you here!

[@kellymoneymaker3922]

Oversimplified changed my lifelong hatred of history.....now I support them and History Matters through Patreon. Your additional content makes it even better. If you had been my instructor in college, I probably wouldn't have signed up for (and dropped) History 4 times. 🤣 Hope your trip to Fredericksburg was awesome. We try to get up there every few months (it's only two hours from us in Yorktown).

[@pr1est725]

This is amazing reaction!!! Question? Have you seen or reacted to the Grant Documentary from a couple months ago?

[@kazaam5459]

You acknowledged the parallels between Star Wars and Nazi Germany! You just went from a great channel to one of my favorites in that alone! All kidding aside, this really is an amazing channel. Thank you for the work you put into it!

[@HistorysRaven]

I know it was last episode, and I apologize, but a bit of backstory that isn't mentioned is just how good Hitler's paintings were EXCEPT for one detail: none of his scenes had people in them. I'm not sure if it's because he couldn't draw people, but that tells me just how little he felt about his fellow people. His "idealized" world was one where there were beautiful buildings, beautiful landscapes, but no people. In art, everything is a decision. Even if the decision was early on, Hitler somewhere made the decision not to paint people, and that decision was made by how he viewed humanity.

[@notsoaveragejoe7275]

Bob Ross didn't paint people

[@cb41503]

​@@notsoaveragejoe7275didn't he do one with a person's shadow in it?

[@Nick-rc1vh]

I am an aspiring history professor-close to graduation. I’m new here and I must say I love this channel. I watch Mr Terry History (history teacher) and I hope you guys can do a collab one day. That would be awesome!!!!!

[@mr.t244]

Damn you mention going over 25k just 6 days ago and atm. you are at 33 k subs. That's like 1/4 - 1/5 of your total subs in just 6 days, that's great.

[@MochaMochaV2]

13:45 poor dud he's one of those random victims feels bad man better luck next time

[@xcrankthatalex2829]

I love your input on such reaction vids, greetings from Germany and stay healthy ✌️💯

[@LebanonStorm]

I just stumbled on one of your videos for the first time yesterday and I like your videos.

[@zohzu]

Where are you from? And did you study Historie ? Your knowledge is impressive

[@VloggingThroughHistory]

I live in Northeast Ohio. Yes, I majored in history in college.

[@MellyGG883]

As someone who brushed off history classes because they were boring, this is quite good.

[@ayman5917]

12:22 I’ve always compared the way Palpatine and Hitler rose to power. And you are the first one I know that shares that thought with me :), nice vid!

[@dusklunar]

hey i just found your channel and have been watching some of the oversimplified videos and enjoy your commentary on the historical events the videos cover. i would like to see more if your willing to do so and i know its a bit off your kind of motif for your channel but maybe check out the SCP stories? i bring that up because while fictional a lot of the stories and creature tie into real historical events. Detective Void's video on SCP-3456 The Orcadian Horsemen does a good job of showing this by bringing up several disasters and wars throughout history, focusing on a fictional solider in the Vietnam war who ran across the creature and lived. again just an idea and understand if it doesn't work with your content, still love the videos though.

[@lordgarmeldor442]

You really should do some reaction videos about the channel "Invicta", they make great content regarding the roman empire and ancient history in general!

[@symn00]

I know at the time it didnt look so bad but just imagine having to choose between communism and nazism

[@SimonDelgado68]

And they already know what communism was and every country was afraid of a revolution like in russia, and I think people prefer whatever other shit rather than that. Turns out they were the same shit with another smell xd

[@HenSt-gz7qj]

Talking about a show inspired by the world war, the anime Gundam is one of them. Starting of with the assassination of a political figure that followed by a series of conspiration , it leads to a full blown all out war. The two sides involved in the war are Earth Union Federation (which is basically the Allies) against Principality of Zeon (a combination of all the Axis power).

[@snarsgames703]

My father told me a bit about the time of hyperinflation and how people would take baskets full of money to the store and if they got robbed they wouldn’t be mad about losing the money but about losing the basket

[@lithium23]

12:25 I recall reading material that came out recently that really pushed the "who did it" question towards it actually being Communists.

[@rubymosquito763]

I like your vids

[@imperialinquisitormordecai9688]

Sabaton also has a song called "the rise of evil" which is long but very good.

[@HistorysRaven]

Speaking to the Palpatine-Hitler connection, I wrote a junior or senior report on just that. And I also pointed out a few similarities between Bush and Anakin, specifically, "If you're not with us, you're against us", which, too be honest, wasn't the most subtle of references. I don't remember what my final grade on that paper was. Episode III came out my eighth grade year.
