    If you’re having a bad day, always remember that at least you didn’t start a war only because you took a wrong turn
  • crazy to see how much oversimplified has improved since their first video (writing this just after 2nd punic war part 2 came out)
  • @ThatCanadianGuy
    Ain't no way this is already 6 years old. I still remember watching this only a few months after it came out. This basically shaped my entire life into history and I'm now better than anyone I've ever met!
  • @jamesporter3761
    I like how he didn’t even introduce his channel and just started spitting facts
  • @Yabuturtle
    I think we should share oversimplified videos in schools. Despite being oversimplified, he does give out a lot of good information, but not just that, he does it in an entertaining way. So when kids watch these vids, they get a good idea of what likely happened, and then, with this knowledge at hand, it can encourage them to study and know more of the intricate details.

    Imagine taking a wrong turn somewhere and suddenly you’ve changed the course of human history

    WWI: caused by shooting an austrian guy WWII: caused by not shooting an austrian guy
  • 7 years and this video is a showcase of exactly how far oversimplified has come. It's crazy how both the length of videos increased with the quality honestly
  • @captain_rewind
    Anyone else here 7 years later to keep the engagement up??
  • “Belgium is like school, something you have to go through” ~ German proverb Edit: France is like the summer on the other side.
  • @estebson
    Germany is that one guy in online PvP/Battle Royale games that has to carry the entire team and loses as a result.
  • @jessejace
    The "How about I don't" at 4:21 is one of my all-time favorite Oversimplified moments
  • Whos here after the new video to see how much the animation quality improved
  • @loa7194
