[@deathbycognitivedissonance5036]

norman berg you are 100% right about that. His subscribers are those individuals who wish to be informed, educated, and entertained. I hope the current issues and regulation adjustments from KZbin doesn't threaten this channel. Unknown5 is a diamond in the rough.💎

[@viliussmproductions]

Nicholas Novak I think the extremely click-baity titles discourage a lot of people who would enjoy this type of videos. At least, that's the case with me.

[@TheaTheGenius]

Trueee, I've only recently discovered his channel, and immediately subbed because the content is really amazing. Most 'educational' channels sacrifice accuracy, truth and detail in order to make short, quick 'sensational' videos that will pander to today's five second attention span society who will not sit through anything unless it has explosions, blood, and nudity. I'm really glad this guy isn't one of those view hungry 'Watchmojo' types, and that there are still KZbinrs that make content for content's sake.

[@МахамбетМамыров]

30 years war? lesser known?

[@Darthzaroc]

Махамбет Мамыров to the average person yes, They don't really teach history like they used to.

[@Siegbert85]

Well, in Germany it's taught as the biggest and most devastating conflict after the world wars. Maybe in English speaking countries it's lesser known since they hardly contributed to it.

[@fanbuoy9234]

Yeah, I was quite shocked to see it on the list. It's a massively important war in Western history, and hardly "lesser known".

[@blodus4521]

I wouldn't call it lesser known but in America we don't really learn much about it unless we are in Advanced Placement classes.

[@bolsman]

The English Civil War took place at he same time, so it tend to suffer the same fate that all other wars that does not directly involving Britain/USA do.

[@loteixeira]

owwwn! You spoke about the paraguayan war!

[@Goofygooberston]

The 80 year war (which wasn't really 80 years long) between the Netherlands and Spain is also a lesser known conflict.

[@wisemankugelmemicus1701]

FatFuckGuyFieri It was more like 87 years, wasn't it?

[@gio5621]

Wisemankugel Memicus Of Kekistan That was the "100 years war" I believe

[@wisemankugelmemicus1701]

Giostino Corbo That was 106 Years Long.

[@gerardsotxoa]

FatFuckGuyFieri you are kidding right??

[@TheManofthecross]

the 80 years war also encompused the 30 years war as well after a 19 year truce after 50 years of war. so the 80 years war is in two parts.

[@randy95023]

The Lopez War (Paraguay vs 3 Larger Rivals) was a little known conflict. I first read about it and wrote a paper in the late 1960's. Most people know little or nothing of this horrid little chapter of South American war but is one of the most brutal conflicts of modern times. To think of what the Paraguayan forces went through is stomach churning. What devastation...

[@senpaisanchoyt5225]

randy95023 all cause of a cocky leader. Now we have North Korea.

[@rubennasser6907]

Both Argentina and Brazil had pretty much plotted their joint attack on Paraguay long before Lopez stupidly started the war, sucked in by their neigbours invasion of Uruguay. So you can say this was "the main cause", the cocky leader just provided the spark.

[@timothyprice3264]

Not many people know that Vlad "The Impaler" was a Romanian general who fought with thousands of his people to kill millions of invading Muslims. People just think of him as a vampire and Dracula. But people seem to not know that because of him the Muslims did not want to continue their advance through Romania and Greece.

[@craigmcdougall755]

Romania and Vienna were as important for pushing them back as the Frank's.

[@someguy1026]

A couple thousands, not millions

[@someguy1026]

It was tbh the Poles who pushed them back as Vienna would have fallen and so would europe if the poles hadnt come

[@kickkick1646]

Thomas Bright Vlad is best known for having impaled his Christian rivals. He was decapitated by the Ottomans and his head was exposed to Istanbul ...

[@xxklesx1]

Millions of ottomans, are youre insane? :D The sources speaks from 40 000 dead ottomans. What was a lot in this age. But its true that he win against a larger, better trained and better equipped army. But he impaled other christans too. And before his crusade he fight against hungary. He implaed priest and german traders, there were reasons why nobody helped him against the ottomans

[@martynasgruodis7049]

The last topic was chosen perfectly, great thanks to the creator. And still I think that the factor of solid united force creation( duchy of Lithuania) seems a bit overlooked. It took a great effort and knowledge of leaders to not just create opposing force, but to comprise lands of primitive tribes into monolithic country strong enough to resist the enemy. So that's what makes the establishment of lithuanian country unique. Again huge thanks :)

[@GalinPanchev]

Thank you for this video.

[@Yora21]

While the Teutonic Order was pretty much beaten by Poland, it survived by converting to Protestantism and becoming the Duchy of Prussia. When they gained their independence from Poland they became the Kingdom of Prussia and had their great comeback. The dukes and kings of Prussia were the descendants of the last Grand Master and eventually the Emperors of Germany, all the way to World War 1. And if you want to imagine the 30 Years War, take any post apocalyptic movie and add swords. Minus zombies, when necessary.

[@defiler2]

You mean..beating by Lithuania? They did most of the heavy lifting.

I found oiut that I had Teutonic ancestors in the northern crusades, and at the same time I'm playing the Witcher series. Anyone notice the similarities between the Northern Crusades and the wars going on in the Witcher series? Cool stuff. Also, sorry Baltic States for pwning you guys so hard back then. You got your lands back, and my people lost Koenigsburg forever. Oh welps, just chilling here in Australia now.

Excuse me, but Thirty years war DID NOT start in Germany but in Bohemia... just a wee important detail.

To be fair, Bohemia was a part of The Holy Roman Empire, and prety much german.

Bohemia, or Czech, completely unrelated to German, but part of the not Holy, not Roman, not Empire Holy Roman Empire.

My Hometown of Blieskastel was by the end of the Thirty Years War completely depopulated. Some little villages that had been kind out of the way in the Forest had a few people left.

[@MasterSethern]

TEUTONIC KNIGHTS!!! HELL YEAH!

[@antka3520]

Master Sethern i have to admitt that tevtons had cool aesthetics

[@MasterSethern]

There you go, man!

[@SuperMrFriendly]

Doing it with 400 or so knights is the bad ass part...

[@SuperMrFriendly]

By hit and run tactics, while the TO frequently gave away opportunities to gain upperhands, but finding it dishonourable to do things like suprise attacks. The battle at Tannenburg whas largely lost by Ulrich von Jungingen because of him being just a little to eager to show his über knightliness, while his older brother Konrad in previous decades kicked Lithuanian ass left and right in much the same manner. Dont know how the TO made the list though. They where kinda nice compared to much else going on in world history. Like children of dead enemies/heathens being compulsary adopted and put trough school etc.

[@SuperMrFriendly]

Thats why they lost ALL of their Baltic coastline and the size of Holland and Belgium land inwards to combine east-Prussia with allied Latvia. The TO had decades of kicking Lithuanian ass momentum and took ALL the parts they had set their eyes on. Lithuania whas a huge land area back then and they could easily retreat in to the rest of it. The TO never had the manpower to endulge in to conquering largely unremarkable and economically unprofitable dangerous woodlands. Not with other powers in their backs and on top of them. They rather had crusader tourism of sorts where Euro nobles could go on some raids vs the pagans, but they didnt really try to conquer all of Lithuania when the TO had the momentum. And Lithuania only started ass kicking when they converted to Christianity and became the bitch of Poland, giving up their Religion and political independence. Not saying Lithuanians where not good fighters. I have lots of respect for them. But knights of that Kind where no joke, the TO had staunch Baltic allied fighters on their side and the administrating and rulership of the TO where one of the best in history(largely based on merits). So all went as expected. Lithuania had no chance when the TO whas trying and on ist height, but in the end lost out against numbers and enemies teaming up.

[@Arterexius]

Love the picture you showed at 15:25. It's a culturally important painting in Denmark, which shows the time at the battle where our national flag "Dannebrog" allegedly fell from the sky as a sign that we would win the battle. We Danes are very proud of our flag and use it whenever we can. Such as at birthdays where it's often used all over the decorations, as well as on our Christmas trees on Christmas. Any shop which celebrates its anniversary or birthday also use the flag. So does every marriage, baptism of a newborn, burials. Basically any celebration or mourning we have, uses the flag. Our flag, currency and culture are all 3 some we are very proud of.

[@gethsoftware]

Allot of Respect for Lithanian pagans. They chose death over being forced to abandon the faith of their forefathers.

[@Lykosas]

Should have mentioned about #1 that the teutonic order was the predecessor of Prussia which was in turn the predecessor of the German Empire. It was this very prussian militarism which we can blame for the World Wars.

[@Goofygooberston]

Andrej Chernysh If you honestly blame the then German empire for either of the world wars you need to do more research on how world war one started.

[@ricardoaguiar8841]

From Black Adder, who knows a lot more about history than you do:" George, the British Empire at present covers a quarter of the globe, while the German Empire consists of a small sausage factory in Tanganyika. I hardly think that we can be entirely absolved of blame on the imperialistic front."

[@Harry_S._]

The prussian militarism was one of the most important reasons for WW1, not its only one.

[@joehill4094]

dude, you took that Entente pill hard, The Great War started because of the numerous alliances dragging multiple countries into a war

Great video - extremely educational, and a great reminder of how humanity is nothing but a blight on the planet.

[@Mikeanglo]

If the devil exists, there are few tools better for setting men upon one another than organized religion.

[@Mikeanglo]

They definitely do those things, but they also factionalize and segregate themselves via faith.

[@Mikeanglo]

I don't recall saying any of that, but I'll put it this way: if none of those other excuses to kill each other existed, people would still kill one another over religion just as if they were being dressed in red and blue like you said. Being apologetic to one reason for war doesn't undo or discredit another.

[@Mikeanglo]

Religion is a bi-product of human nature. A man not wielding it can't convince another man that a killing was justified because god said so, and can't tell a murderer his conscience is clear so long as he repents. I said religion was a tool, not the actual perpetrator.

[@Mikeanglo]

Wrong on two accounts, buddy. I believe in god. Nothing wrong with that, but organized religion sets precedents for people that on one account tell them not to kill, but forgive them for doing so or even claim to justify it in the name of their god. The crusades and the thirty years war were enabled by christians saying "well, we know our tentants say not to kill...but our brothers can forgive eachother and this slaughter is justified." You don't think these sound like men who are being deceived? Confused? On one hand being taught mercy, and then being handed the sword by the church? The deceived never know they're being deceived; they think they're doing the right thing.

You forgot the little know war of me and my neighbour! It still rages on.

[@chandutomaz]

i would wish that you also do a coverage of how the British starved 25 million Indian people to death during World War 2

[@icelandcountryball7912]

yes because an indian person is the one to give an unbiased opinion about the british RAJ. btw why would britain not be able to fight britain?

The war between the coal miners, mining companies and the US army. Look into it, it is really interesting

[@iconoclastwar]

lot of suffering for religion...

[@emiljohansson2698]

Although at thesame time, most of these religious wars and conflicts probably was sparked by another reason.

[@keithlee4081]

iconoclastwar it's always about religion, even today

[@emiljohansson2698]

barking gamer The leaders of ISIS etc, probably do it for power and wealth, than God.however, their followers, are people who are mispleased in life, perhaps poor or hanging out with the wrong people, and find comfort in religion, and turned to extremist, and fight for religion.

[@iconoclastwar]

Yeah, but religion is a great recruiting tool. And the ones fighting are doing it for their religion.

My country was apart of number 1 im estonian finally someone mentions this conflict

[@crustysandal4580]

For the next video, you should do '5 reasons that 9/11 was an inside job'. (I want to see brainwashed haters get triggered.)

[@cheekibreeki2712]

lmao

[@keithlee4081]

A Hacon I hope you are joking because otherwise you have been brainwashed by the internet

[@crustysandal4580]

barking gamer if you understand physics, you'll know that WTC 7 SHOULDN'T have collapsed. There's one reason right there.

[@keithlee4081]

A Hacon it got hit by a airliner flying at 1220km/hr, no building was or is built to withstand such an impact

[@crustysandal4580]

barking gamer I don't think you read what I said - WTC SEVEN. Not the Twin Towers (WTC 1 & 2). WTC 7 was NOT hit by any plane. Just watch the collapse footage.

[@Reket11]

I saw a documentary on the An Lushan rebellion. The historians were clear that the events where as follows: he got the rank of general and the command of the army, then his main ally at court was removed - this meant that he could be summoned to the capital at any moment and ambushed. His hand was forced.

Though far smaller than any of the conflicts listed here, New Mexico's Lincoln County War continues to reverberate to this day.

the picture at 14:32 is one that is very valued and important in danish history. It shows the danish bishop and statesmen, Absalon near a statue of the pagan Slavic god Svetovid which is being dragged away. The Christian Danes and the pagan Wends around the now german island of Rügen, where at war. The Danes had declared a holy war against the Wends. the Wends had acted like pirates and raided the coast of Denmark. the picture is said to shows Bishop Absalon topples the god Svantevit at Arkona in 1169. bonus info: apart from being a close advisor to the danish king Valdemar I of Denmark (1131 - 1182) is also the founder of Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark. He, therefore, is a prominent figure in danish history and identity. this is even more so the case of the picture at 15:31 which shows the legend of how the danish national flag, Dannebrog, fell down from the sky as a gift from god. It is said to happened during the Battle of Lyndanisse in 1219. The danish king Valdemar II was on another crusade against the Estonians. During the battle, the danish crusaders were hard pressed but then a flag fell from the sky which boosted morale and the Danes won over the pagans. The flag had a white cross on it as a symbol of Christianity. The flag that fell from the sky was then adopted as the danish national flag - or so the national myth goes. Funny how a today peaceful small nation was once a bloody crusader nation during the rein of the Valdemar kings...
