WW1 - Oversimplified (Part 1)

[@vincoustic1855]

I've been waiting for your Oversimplified reactions for ages

[@renzluigiaquino7608]

Luke, I recommend you watching alternatehistoryhub their animation style is somewhat similar to oversimplified's, but the channel is based around what would happen if several major events throughout history took a completely different route, and the eventual future that comes with that route.

[@asmodeus292]

Yes i love alternatehistoryhub.

[@andreilican]

Luke, I absolutely LOVE your reactions to Oversimplified. Oversimplified is such an awesome dude, and I am really glad you're enjoying these. And even though you're moving away from him for a bit, one day please react to the Russian Revolution, Napeleonic Wars etc. (off topic but I am planning on becoming a member soon👀)

[@pyronuke4768]

I feel like, with how high tensions in Europe was at the time, if it wasn't the archduke's assassination it would have been something else. Otto von Bismarck, a Prussian politician famous for being able to read and predict how European countries would react to certain developments, once stated that "Europe today is a powder keg, and It's rulers are smoking cigars." He then predicted that in twenty years something would go down in Austria that would kickstart a major conflict. His prediction was off by only four months.

[@prologicgaming00]

I know your already reacting to oversimplified but I recommend watching epic history's ww1 videos. They give more information and are extremely well done. It is quite long but it is definitely worth it

[@qrowdabro6332]

Yes please!

[@melkor3496]

I second this proposal

[@m-seian]

Yes Epic History's World War 1, Napoleonic war series is fantastic

[@stingingcashew2321]

4:40 This reminds me of a skit where a German soldier points out the skulls on the uniforms and asks, "Are we the baddies?"

[@televisionhead4705]

Considering the horrific conditions of WW1, it really surprises me that the death count of the war was only 15 million

[@justhereforkicks8208]

Heck yeah I want you to react to part 2. I enjoy hearing your thoughts on it. WW1 isn’t nearly talked about as much WW2 or even Vietnam or the Gulf War here in the states. The Korean War is barely even mentioned, which is why it’s often called “The Forgotten War”. Perhaps too much time has passed since the First World War, but I’m always fascinated to hear about it.

[@thehowlinggamer5784]

Fun fact. A lot of modern military strategies you start seeing around ww1, actually saw their first use in the American Civil War. Trench warfare such as at Vicksburg and Petersburg, ironclad ships, submarines and even air power. Planes wouldn't be utilized until ww1, but in the Civil War, they used hot air balloons for a better visual command of the field. Also, the Gatlin gun, tge first sub machine gun ever used.

[@thomasofarrell5524]

Nice to see another former boot neck living in the US. I left in 2016, now living in NC. Well done on the success with your channel, all the best brother. 🇬🇧

[@tomevers23]

Welcome to OriginalHuman, the no.1 military history educational channel

[@Crazyasian123456]

Yay, was waiting for you to react to this!

[@drego4474]

I subscribed due to your reacts on different topics. Love the videos man keep em coming

[@Jagecage]

I highly recommend Dan Carlin’s “blueprint for Armageddon” it’s a whole podcast ww1 and it’s amazing

[@DakotaofRaptors]

Fun fact: conditions during the Battle of Okinawa were quite similar to that of WW1 trench warfare.

[@kronosbot5]

Artillery literally shapes the battlefield, everything since WW1 has really been a response to better circumvent the advantages of firepower.

[@followeroftzeentch8060]

You should check out Extra Credit WW1 seminal tragedy to understand more about the causes of this event

[@melkor3496]

Yes I agree hopefully he reacts to it

[@chinonotonyoutube]

2 weeks late but I'm loving all the content I've been here since the good old Airsoft reactions which I loved so much

[@SimpleGunner]

"this war was not going to be like any war anyone had seen before. 'the war to end all wars', but it ended nothing"

[@Darksoulg]

Love your videos wether it’s this type or your gaming. Keep up the good work

[@ForgottenHonor0]

I highly recommend you watch Indy Neidell's Great War series. It covers the events of the whole war in real time week by week. By the end, you're gonna need a drink...

[@user-qj9oc4hl1p]

YES I Love these keep these up please

[@spoktv3343]

If you want to see a more detailed videos about the First World War, I can recommend Epic History he has 5 videos about this topic.

[@Firynn]

Absolutly would like you do it... its detailed, well written, explain a lot! You will enjoy it

[@Brian-ul2vm]

When ever you’re going to go back to history videos I recommend extra history.there videos are really informative

[@call4906]

Finally! another oversimplified video lol

[@Airz18]

Definitely watching Oversimplified, I love your reactions to this! Also you might want to check out Dan Carlins podcast Hardcore History (in your own time). His series on WW1 is fantastic.

[@christ9406]

Finally i want it to watch your reaction for ww1

[@ghfdt368]

hey, you should definately react to ww1 by epic history. They go through ww1 year by year covering all major battles and events across the world its really good and is enjoyable and really educational.

[@dertchilll3422]

Watch extra history, one of the best history channels there are

[@NaVy_Swift]

These are always so much fun!

[@jamesgiles4517]

The reason why this is so short is because this is oversimplifieds first videos

[@kendallcribbins415]

The napoleonic wars by oversimplified is awesome!

[@redneos1603]

could you react to great northern war with extra history plz

[@g.iredronald5]

1:23 true story I skiped leg day but was good a running

[@mikeobrien6411]

That assassin was 19 years old (teenagers, am I right?) and therefore did not get the death penalty. He died of TB while in prison, before the war ended.

[@hadesdogs4366]

France lacks the finance and men to deal with a full on war and so their main strategy was to rely on heavy and interlinked fortifications to wear down the enemies which did work to an extent but later at the start of WW2 no one truly realized the LUDICROUS LEVEL of mechanization and had under estimated the level of technology that was available

[@frontgamet.v1892]

The Red Baron was a legend

[@crimsonknight7011]

Trench warfare had been a thing for years and years but the big difference of WW1 compared to all those other times it was used was the creation of the machine guns. Before people had guns that had to be reloaded giving the attackers time to get across no mans land easier. With the creation on the machine gun they just got mowed down.

[@hkiller57]

The other big difference was the use of barbed wire as well

[@LiquidCallous]

what kings and generals, he is a very good youtuber just like oversimplified

[@opelasslo9592]

Safe the Driver was a time traveler 😂

[@Andrew-vw5vb]

When I was in the Infantry I had to dig a trench once. A spider came out of the ground and I never want to go in a trench again. I would have died so fast in that war lol

[@Juicejunkie409]

When you do other people shows used to turn up their volume so we can hear them properly

[@joshuayarrington9684]

If you think those conditions arounf the Archduke's assassination is surprising. You should watch extra history's "He Seminal Tragedy" episodes. It's insane.

[@dramsac17]

Any one else think it's a little too convenient that the great war between the European empires is all blamed on a group of dead freedom fighters instead of the people who actually created the circumstances that lead to this war? Though, of course, no one will ever be able to prove it, it seems much more likely to me that Franz Ferdinand was assassinated on the orders of his own family. The idea of sending an agent to instigate an assassination of an unruly heir and then using it as an excuse to invade your neighbor is right out of the royal court intrigue playbook.

[@lewisd7306]

Two recommendations Battlefield friends How historically accurate is rdr2 ? (Chapter 1 and 2)

[@lukepasterski4666]

Belgium tries to stay out of everything and somehow get pushed around 😪

[@TKDragon75]

The older oversimplified videos were shorter than they are now.

[@marintheking1515]

ahhh , oversimplified’s 1st video

[@prussben5431]

Yes part 2 pls:)

[@kirkdaley3441]

Aye I love the man untd representation

[@phantomtitan9792]

Awesome video

[@connornorfolk8530]

I hope oversimplified uploads again

[@julianmrgl9568]

Cool reaction vid

[@songquan2427]

Can you play some Strategy game like : Wargame red dragon,Steel Division 2,etc... Also im your new sub 😃😃

[@nubnubdubdeh]

I have a random question have you watched The Vikings TV show its amazing

[@MarkTitus420]

I hate when I hear people say "I don't need to know that crap, I wasn't even born yet!" I used to be one of these idiots. Now I love history!

[@Andrew79334]

you should do epic history ww1

[@jamesgiles4517]

Don't forget to react to the mini wars because they are just as funny

[@A_Name_]

Not a recommendation for a video just for something you may like. Check out Dan Carlin's podcast. He does tons of history stuff and in his WW1 western front series (it's like 5 4 hour long podcasts) he talks about the initial invasion of Belgium and the personal account he's refrencing in that is nuts.

[@Skylander404]

I know you're a big fan of history, but if you want to diversify a little, you could try reacting to some TierZoo videos. He basically looks at nature through the lens of videogames, and ranks animals on a tier list based on their viability in the "meta".

[@majindomttv3903]

Are you going to the first halo infinite lan tournament in North Carolina in December?

[@bobafett1313]

This was a war that had no good or evil. Everyone was to blame for this war but they all decided to blame Germany and we all know how that turned out.

[@scar9023]

Ayyy the guy that shot ferdinand was my relative lmao no joke

[@tylerpacker6047]

I wish Oversimplified would redo the WWI video. It is good, but it is a little too Oversimplified.

[@YouTube_creators1000s]

If your ever interested in reacting to a movie I recommend operation Valkyrie it’s about a world war and Top cruise is in it

[@hadesdogs4366]

Ww1 was the industrialization and mechanization of war in general Old traditions and beliefs of honor or chivalry such as honest duels and the like no longer exists and at the end of the day it’s kill or be killed and whilst wars previously had massive impacts on a nation most were colonial wars where the fear of attacks were far from home for the most parts and it ultimately destroyed the value of soldiers since ww1 and 2 were mostly about shoveling as many troops at a problem and see what happens

[@jesussantillan7317]

Yes please you must react to part 2!!!!!!!

[@krypticsceptixx26]

YESS

[@thegator7018]

beautiful jersey lad

[@umbles7007]

1.25 playback speed makes it feel like his newer videos.

[@ryanbroguy]

Are you going to play the GTA Remaster coming out soon?

[@baconsandwich922]

Damn it I got tricked. I saw oversimplified and clicked

[@carolemartino1292]

Actually it was ww2 where it really really changed warfare

[@julianmrgl9568]

lol the halo on his cap is green so it blends in with the green screen

[@mrcleanthebaguette1422]

You should watch the Napoleonic wars by oversimplified

[@ethansscc]

if you haven’t already seen the movie 1917, you should totally react to it! it’s set towards the end of world war 1!

[@immortal_kind7680]

I feel like if your going away from one history channel, can you then please watch Armchair Historian, imo he is one of the best for learning small bits of history but is surprisingly entertaining. Or even react to the video 'WW2 in 39 Minutes.

[@TrymYoutubeMainChannel]

Manchester United fan ^^ awesome

[@jamesk3565]

Not sure if its just me but i can hear you loud and clear but not the video you are watching

[@kavcav]

You should react to what if ww1 never happened by the infographics show

[@ghostsstarwars1929]

When is the next episode of call of duty 2 of ww2???

[@GermanFCM]

I'm The 7 View Lol Another Oversimplified Luke Reccomended: Napoleonic Wars

[@TrymYoutubeMainChannel]

I was in a play that feautured WWI and I played Franz Ferdinand

[@abc_tkabc7893]

You should react to history bomb

[@zeki7753]

i've seen this but not gonna spoil or anything

[@MalusTmcraeensis]

I think you should react to audie murphy animated. He is one of my favorite soldiers, and he's a Texan like me.

[@terraseamapping823]

World war 1 would have happend either way because tensions were at the highest europe had ever seen. Every little thing could have broken out a huge war at the time.

[@ethanqwert7524]

WW1 was inevitable but it could of been prolonged

[@terraseamapping823]

@@ethanqwert7524 maybe

[@baleygr76]

Do the extra credits ww1

[@C.A._Old]

Trench Warfare Worst Warfare Ever All Times. ! +1

[@greysonnealy7673]

Watch more of the armchair historian

[@fenner1986]

If you'd like to know more about the events that actually led to WWI, it's actually broken down by another channel called Extra Credits, who are like Oversimplified, just without the bits of humor - kzbin.info/www/bejne/iV7ahH9qjNaIrdU (This is the first in the series) It's actually horrifically tragic how many chances there was to prevent WWI from happening, but there were so many failures in a row between Serbia, Austria, Russia and France that it was like watching a car crash in slow motion :(

[@torrez8788]

Do it!!

[@tannerm6719]

Please for the love of god react to Metal of Honor on Netflix !!!!

[@tombell912]

you should watch some of their mini war videos like the battle of hastings and the emu war

[@kolberg-_-7157]

man united lessssh goooo

[@Pyth0n313]

React to Checkmate Lincolnites from Atun Shei Film's

[@joshuaclaywilliams6141]

Is water wet?

[@hadesdogs4366]

To simplify it think of say what would happen if China invaded Taiwan

[@aldi_bags6947]

This was oversimplified first video
