God can I just say how furious I am that Oversimplified didn't exist when I was in school. And follow up channels like VTH that pause, break it down, look things up, add context and clarity. All I had was dry textbooks and multiple choice quizzes. I've been looking forward to this since the announcement and teaser video.

[@willemthijssen1082]

As a historian in the making, I enjoy all of the new history channels (oversimplified was around during my high school years, but I'm not a native English speaker, so I didn't have full access until a few years into my high school years) because it allows many, many more kids to be more interested in history

One of the very few people that the Roman Empire was afraid of was Hannibal. Things would have been different for Carthage if they had better logistics while not relying on soldiers of fortune.

[@sirfallsalot2000]

Main example of this, the 3rd Punic war. Carthage got absolutely destroyed

[@willemthijssen1082]

Even when Caesar marched on Rome, Cicero asked "Who marches on Rome, a Roman general, or Hannibal?" Hannibal was one of the greats of all antiquity.

[@hannibalburgers477]

If the judges of Carthage developed more backbone they would win this war eazy. The main reason why the whole ordeal was a penance for Hannibal is that the lack of monetary and manpower support by Carthage. If you just had a disastrous defeat few years ago, you would drastically reform your military. You wouldn't rely on passive strategies and mercenary troopers

[@lancelot848]

Hannibal's last words - "Let us now relieve the Romans of their fears by the death of a feeble old man."

[@wedgeantilles8575]

@@sirfallsalot2000 The 3rd Punic war was over before it began. Even though the siege of Carthage took quite a while, Carthage was done for as soon as the war started. They had 0 chance. And the thrid war was absolutly uncalled for. Carthage did absolutly nothing wrong, they fullfilled everything that was required of them in the peace treaty after the second war. They paid reparations, they provided sailors for the Roman navy... The destruction of Carthage was the one thing in Roman history I do not like at all, almost every other thing they did was justified and ok. But the third Punic war was just bad.

[@IowanMatthew683]

16:14 New Carthage is today the Spanish city of "Cartagena." Also speaking of Spain, the city of Barcelona is said to have been named after the Barca family because of the Carthaginian legacy.

[@TheSupertube22]

[@tracymeahan]

32:16 Just to be clear, this is not Scipio Africanus who faced Hannibal at Zama who was sent to hold Hannibal in Iberia though. This is his father, also named Publius Cornelius Scipio. Scipio Africanus (who is around 18 about this time) is a lower ranking officer at this point in history. (Source: HistoryMarche KZbin)

[@blauwbeer556]

@@proximitive3872 Carthadge didn't really stand a chance against rome during the second punic war, the only reason it seemed like it was was because Hannibal was an outsanding general on par with the likes of Napoleon. At this point Rome was just too big, too populace and too hard headed to be beaten by carthage. The battle of Cannine was dissastrious for not only Rome but Hannibal too as it drained all of his manpower and recourses, his defeat was inevatable at that point. I have to commend Hanibal for being able wage on 20 years of geurrila warfare in Italia but his efforts were probably better suited for taking over the Middle-east or something, as that could strengthen carthage enough for a future punic war.

[@namastehindustan9879]

​​@@blauwbeer556why couldn't he go back through alps after battle of cannine?

[@blauwbeer556]

@@namastehindustan9879 I don't want to come off as rude but if you watched the Oversimplified videos you'll notice that going through the Alps may as well be a battle of Cannine for Hannibal. He lost 75% of his army and only had like ~80 elephants left. Trying to go back *through the Alps* would be just as catastrophic, and that's assuming he can get even get there. By this point most of Roman Italia was completly Romanized with only the northern and southern part feeling resentment against the regime meaning that Hannibal can't recruit that many locals to their side and worse: everybody is an enemy. Again, his army was completly depleted after Cannine. Getting to the Alps through hostile lands would be a massive challange on its own, and then going through the Alps? It would be impossible, i'd be surprised if Hannibal himself would survive that journey, let alone a not useless army. Getting to Italia from the alps is like preforming an amphibious invasion and then burning the ships down so that there would be no escape, there was no turning back an Hannibal knew that. This is why he resorted to guerrila warfare for the next 20 years instead of leaving, at least with geurrila warfare he can also harm Rome whilst leaving would *only* hurt himself.

[@soumajitsen1395]

Although Oversimplified didn't show it, I remember reading that when Fabius Maximus said, "Then I choose war!", the Carthaginian Senators replied, "And we accept it!" If that really happened historically and just wasn't made up by Polybius, that would have been an epic moment.

[@LegioXXI]

Its plausible that it happened. Ancient people had a thing for dramatic symbolism.

Mercenaries: *goes into trouble within carthage* Hamilcar: *punished it severely*

[@IowanMatthew683]

7:50 There's a reason why the famed economist John Maynard Keynes called the Treaty of Versailles reparations imposed on Germany after World War One the "Carthaginian Peace" way back in 1919. It ended up enraging a powerful country that, in response to its own humiliation, saw the rise of highly capable and vengeful military leaders and the emergence of another major war.

[@jurgnobs1308]

Versailles is generally overblown. ut wasn't really more punishing than most other surrenders of the period. the germans were just shocked they got treated like others would be, because the idea of supremacy was already widely spread

[@David-sl6xf]

@@jurgnobs1308 Right, the market crash in 1929 is what really sent Germany into a spiral

[@animatorofanimation128]

​@@David-sl6xf Germany's economic woes came from the way the Germans funded ww1, in essence they cannibalized their own economy and would have suffered huge economic issues even if they had won. One of the reasons they refused to concede to a compromise in the war was that they NEEDED French reparations' to save their collapsing economy, which in turn made the war last longer, which in turn made them need those reparations' even more. By the end of the war communist uprisings were occurring all over the country largely due to the non-existent economy (as well as widespread famine). Versailles then compounded this, then the crash reverted most of the progress they made

[@joshuawindsor-knox3626]

Given how this episode starts I feel obligated to quote Machiavelli's take on mercenaries "I say, therefore, that the arms with which a prince defends his state are either his own, or they are mercenaries, auxiliaries, or mixed. Mercenaries and auxiliaries are useless and dangerous; and if one holds his state based on these arms, he will stand neither firm nor safe; for they are disunited, ambitious and without discipline, unfaithful, valiant before friends, cowardly before enemies; they have neither the fear of God nor fidelity to men, and destruction is deferred only so long as the attack is; for in peace one is robbed by them, and in war by the enemy. The fact is, they have no other attraction or reason for keeping the field than a trifle of stipend, which is not sufficient to make them willing to die for you".

[@cyberus1438]

I highly recommend anyone even kinda into history to read the prince and everything else from Machiavelli

[@Jamhael1]

He spit FACTS - and he also have one of the best texts of the Roman Republic, in which he based his political treatise, "The Prince".

[@Souledex]

Yeah he was talking very much about his time’s recent history with them with about 100 years of them working out pretty great before that, way fewer people died- especially citizens, and everyone got richer so while they definitely have clear downsides but as per uszhe Machiavelli ignores the good of the alternatives.

[@joeshufelt]

The Catan easter egg is actually an amazing tribute to the late Klaus Teuber, the game's designer. He got into board games when he was a kid because he was given a war game about Rome & Carthage. It was probably called Mediterranean or some sort of similar spelling at the time. But the theme of Rome & Carthage is the same, and the latest version of it is called Rome & Carthage.

It's the war that defined Rome as an empire and again, showed is magical ability to make infinite legion ! Again, Oversimplified gave us a great episode !!

[@prabhatsourya3883]

32:22 I think you are referring to Scipio's son, Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus, who was the actual military genius going head to head against Hannibal. This is not that Scipio in this year. This is his father, Publius Cornelius Scipio, who did challenge Hannibal, but ended up wounded in combat, and would be killed in action in a later conflict.
