Things everyone loves: Food Water YouTubers who post a part 1 and 2 on the same day.

the most influential human in russia: 1900 - Rasputin 2000 - Putin 2100 - Tin

Those assasins made a misstake about Rasputin: they've poisoned a cake with a cyanide, while sugar is known to neutralize it.

Trotsky: “surprising military genius” Also Trotsky: “let’s stop fighting and see what happens”

lowkey, history is addictive when it's like this

The fact you posted both at the same time... this is why people love you

If anyone's curious about what became of Alexander Kerensky after he fled Petrograd, he managed to survive the Russian Revolution and lived a relatively peaceful life, outliving many of the significant figures of the Russian Revolution. Oversimplified didn't cover this, but after Kerensky escaped the Bolsheviks during the October Revolution, he fled to Pskov, where he rallied some loyal troops in an attempt to re-take the city. They managed to capture Tsarskoye Selo but were beaten the next day at Pulkovo. Kerensky narrowly escaped again and spent the next few weeks in hiding before fleeing Russia for good, eventually arriving in France. During the Russian Civil War, he supported neither side, as he opposed both the Bolshevik regime and the White Movement. Eventually, after Germany invaded France in 1940, Kerensky fled to the United States, where he spent the remainder of his life. He lived in New York City with his wife but spent much of his time at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University in California, where he contributed to the Institution's huge archive on Russian history and taught graduate courses. He wrote and broadcast extensively on Russian politics and history. Kerensky eventually died of heart disease in New York City on June 11, 1970. At 89, he was one of the last surviving major participants in the turbulent events of 1917, having outlived Lenin, Stalin, Trotsky, and all the other prominent figures who had overthrown him.

I absolutely love how completely random the introduction of Rasputin was to the Russian Monarch, and how crucial his role was to the collapse of Czarist Russia, despite the fact he was some weird horny and overall batshit crazy guy who just did whatever he wanted, like a literal college student. It's random shit like this that makes history so fascinating to me, and it shouldn't be that way lol

Oversimplified: Starts talking about World War 1 Everyone else: Hey, I've seen this one. It's a classic.

For some reason I feel Oversimplified doesn't like his mother-in-law.

15:03 "The palace was defended by a force known as: "The Battalion of Death" who immediately gave up." love it

“The peasants were getting more peasanity, the workers were getting more workery, all the while Germany was getting more Germanery.” 😂

"You've probably been wondeiring what Nicholas has been up to this whole time" I forgot he even existed

21:31 Stalin was actually very intelligent. He had a great knowledge of history, a great understanding of the political game, had an amazing memory, had a great understanding of tactics (though he would make occasional catostrophic blunders, like in Poland) and would read constantly. Stalin was many horrible things, but stupid was not one of them

the fact that oversimplified does better Rise Of Kingdom ADS then the actual game, OverSimplified should just be the media manager for them

Man in 1900’s: doesn’t have moustache Literally everyone: yeah, there’s gonna be a tax for that

Such a missed pun “The Germans were getting more Germany” 😔

THESE VIDEOS AREN'T JUST EXTREMELY EDUCATIONAL... But they also have that PERFECT touch of satire and comic relief!! AWESOME JOB!!
