I was also surprised when it wasn't mentioned. Funny how the humans in Australia were the only ones who weren't deadly in comparison to the animals there.
As an Ashanti there is something I want to clarify, the reason why the Ashanti's went to war for the Golden Stool was because that stool was the sign of our identity and cultural and if that was taken away from us then we had no leg to on. What you failed to mention was that the British took Ashanti King because they refused to give the British the tool. And one last thing Matt, the Ashanti's and British had been to war 2x before and they never lost, they only won this war cause they had a spy in the Ashanti's army reporting back on their tactics. They forgot for their right, their king and their freedom, I doubt very much that is not something worth fighting for.
As an Icelander I'm pretty damn proud of the cod war. It is the only thing remotely close to a war that we have been in and we actually won! I guarantee, we were as shocked as anyone.
I know you have been working really hard lately, especially doing this daily. Thanks for all your hard work. I'm hoping you can make the time to be able to do some content special to you. I'm sure we will enjoy it! Great job btw!
Pirates of the Caribbean reference here. So we are fighting because this guy wants to kill this guy ... and we all have to fight because of it? Why don’t we just sit back a place some bets have some beers and have a laugh?
"The kettle being knocked over and everyone losing their soup caused the troops to surrender." Me: "When did this turn into an episode of Invader Zim?"
It wasn't pointless just because they failed. The emu war was an attempt to control the booming - and destructive - population. They just happened to need military resources.

Yeah hi , i am an arabic guy , am from dubai , hey matt ... ummm ... about albasus war everything you said was true but here's some facts for you whale 😉 1- A single can camels costs more than 15 Lamborghinis. 2- Back then camels were almost the only thing the arab had , so it's a dear creature to them. 3- The real reason behind the war is not the camel . Those two tribes used to hate each other since the beginning sooo you could figure the rest out.
Prins van Oranje please look at the video. He had a picture of the Roman empire with Spears saying "not us" so people didn't get that confused.why do people want to make a issue
Geekstinkbreath123 the dutch won by firing once, oh wait, we once started a war, went there, saw their defences and got back home. The peace treaty was signed 300 years later and not a single casualty on both sides (they = some former country in italy)
1. It's not "Holy" 2. It's not "Roman" 3. It's not even much of an Empire, seeing how small it is compared to, say, France or Spain So *WHY THE NAME!?*
You can look all over the world and find presidents in every corner that shouldnt have been elected. The Witness will probably be king, we are THAT stupid as a species.
My sister asked me when I talked to her about war: "Why can't we have a cooking contest like those iron cook guys you watch?" I never laughed so hard, but she had a very good idea.
The reason for the war is not the camel itself I saw a lot of sources keep adding this war to a list of silly reasons for a war and that does prove they are saying it without knowing the traditions that people had at that time. The real reason comes from what the "Al Basus" said. In her poem, She advises her neighbour (the camel owner that Kulayb killed ) to move because he lives near people who will not protect or take revenge for their neighbour and that what make Jassas mad because in Arabic traditions they held a huge respect for the neighbours and the one who can not protect his neighbour he can not protect himself or his people and that was a big insult for the whole tribe especially if the insult were toward Jassas which is a big name in Bakr tribe. That makes the real reason for the war is the assault that Kulayb did toward Jassas's neighbour, not the camel itself as they claim. Also,
le louie crew: THAT'S IT BOYS. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. WE ARE HERE TO BREAKTHROUGH THE BLOCKADE!!! *canonball hits soup kettle* le louie crew: mama mia we surrender
+Parth Bonde I'm not proud of the atrocities they commited, but I am impressed by their sheet ability, a small island, to conquer huge land masses. The empire led to great things too: tea, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, etc...
How the Camel War thing should've went- 'Uh, HEY!? You kinda killed my camel!' 'Oh. OH, DANG! I'm sorry, I thought it was one of my own! Would you like to take one of mine? Or I can buy you one, if you'd like?' 'Yeah, that sounds good.' 'No hard feelings?' 'Yeah, we're cool.'
wow, these are the kinds of videos that are supposed to make Matt bigger in fame ! the silent matt in the background as he waits for the Title and transition animations to finish is COURTESY baby!
For seceral years, Denmark and Canada have been at war over a tiny island between Greenland and Canada's arctic islands. Every couple of months, a comando from one country takes over control of the island, taking down the other's flag, replacing it by its own and drinking the alcool left by the "ennemy" before leaving some bottles of their alcohol. The Danes leave schnapps and the Canadians leave whiskey.
i would like to say that in the cod wars Iceland did not try to shoot at a ship (we did try to ram it) but we did make some knife weapons that would cut the fishing net from British ships.
Yes but... they lost to freaking emus.... have you seen videos of emus...? They're the most derpy bird ever, at least dodo birds had a reason. Dodos never saw people and had no natural predators, so they didn't know any better... but emus... they're just weird, and I love them
Hi Matt! Just wanted to give you A HUGE THANK YOU! Myself and family is currently quarantined and you videos are life saving! I've watched and enjoyed your videos for YEARS 😁 God bless and be safe.
F.B.I I’m Canadian and I know how to say Maori. And if it was my job to make these videos I’d do a bit of research to make sure I said everything right.
In a game of 7 Days to Die (Think Minecraft + DayZ) I once started a war with an entire clan because a man stole my rabbit. I mean, you don't touch someone's rabbit. Ask Daryl.
Seriously, how pathetic do you have to be to make a comment like this? Also, why is google being a bitch and refusing to let me block him or delete it. Got to love Google, encouraging and supporting harassment till their dying breath.
You forgot to mention how there was only 1 death during the Cod Wars. It was an Icelandic engineer who was killed accidentally while repairing damages on one of Iceland's gunships, which collided with a British frigate.
i dont see it as a pointless war or even a war at all, if someone miss pronounced your real "stupid" name you would correct them wouldnt you. by calling it a waitangi a stupid name you have just insulted all Maori's throughout New Zealand as it is there heritage. In which case you would have just started a pointless war. What I had said was in no way insulting him or belittling him, it was simply giving him information that he didnt have before Now that you have had your 2 minutes in the spot light, go be a troll to someone else
The cod wars were always a fun part of history class, lemme tell ya. Our high school teacher had to cut the lesson in half due to the class cracking up over it with the biggest onslaught of fish puns a group of 15 year olds could think of. Okay, so the lesson was only cut in half because this class was at the end of the day, but still. Good times.
Ha, the Pig War. I live on Lopez Island which is one of the San Juan Islands. Incase you were wondering, yes, the pig was the only casualty of that war.
Le Louie: “we won’t surrender, will we!” (Cannon fired at kettle of soup) Le Louie: “.......well that’s a pain in me iron trunk. Alroight! Alroight! We give up!”
From "horrible histories" Hodgeson:now that you have been conquered,queen Victoria shall now be empress. Ashanti (did I spell it right):I guess so. Hodgeson:so,as empress,she must sit on that stool. Ashanti:she should really. Hodgeson:so give me that stool,and I shall sit upon it! Ashanti:WHAAAAT?!
why are so many people butthurt over his pronunciation of New Zealand names? he is not from there. i am russian but i dont get my pants in a twist when a youtuber pronounces russian names wrong
