The Russian Revolution - OverSimplified (Part 2) 

no

Neow

No

Unification of Germany?

When’s the Vietnam episode?

Let's be honest, it's cut into 2 parts because of sponsorships reasons, lol. edit: too many of you think i give him shit cuz hes sponsored. i already wrote a reply about how this wasn't meant to be shitting on him, but some people still respond with "its okay that he's sponsored." yes, im aware, i support his decision, now please stop telling me.

Alinek he chasing da bag😜😜😜

@@alinek2289 in their defense youtube pays basically nothing

Alinek it’s not a bad thing, the guy posts like 5-6 vids a year

@@alinek2289 if this video gets demonitized that means he wont get any money *which would suck* so he accepts sponsors

Lowkey? You mean Highkey.

They should show this at school instead of trash quality and boring ass educational videos made only for money

I got an A+ just by binge watching them

Yes

Ja

They weren’t very smart

According to extra history, the assassins were so bad at their job that they bought fake cyanide from a scammer and non of them had ever fired a gun before that night. That’s how botched Rasputin’s assassination was.

Wow really. Sugar Neutralizes Cyanide.

@@theonering2966 or it simply isn't a common knowledge Especially it wasn't 100 years ago

Rasputin called their bluff He was aware of the poison, and already knew he wouldnt be affected. He didnt expect everyone in the room to turn into savages when the passive attempt failed

And then the central powers charged into more land and punished Russia even more severely

It's called oversimplified for a reason dawg, it wasn't that simple

​@@staticalelectricPhew atleast someone gets it...

@@staticalelectricso why did he stop fighting

@@heynowur9146 not for military, but for political reasons. The bolsheviks saw that revolution was on germany's doorsteps ans wanted to accelerate the process. One of the things they had to do for this was to show the true imperialist ambitions of german capitalism in pursuing this war. At that time the german generals didn't say it was a war for the conquest of land, but for peace and the self determination of nations. So if they stopped fighting without signing a treaty, one of two things could happen: either the germans didn't advance, which would mean that the situation in germany was already so unstable that the generals were afraid of attacking, that would have boosted morale in Russia enormously. The second option was that the germans would advance, but in doing so would reveal their real intentions, which were not peace and the self determination of nations, but brutal imperialist conquest. This revelation would have massive effects in the consciousness of the german masses. Lenin and Trotsky thought that if germany advanced they would still be able to quickly sign the original peace treaty. This calculation was mistaken, and they paid the price, but the main intention, of revealing the brutality of the german ruling class was achieved, and a few months later on the 3rd of november 1918, the german revolution broke out, effectively bringing world war 1 to an end. Sadly the german revolution failed, but that is a separate matter.

As a university history student I'd argue with the "extremely educational" part, they're good satire for sure, with many liberal biases I'd say, but from an historical POV they're good for passing a middle school test at best, they're inaccurate and don't bring any source. So yeah, while they're good for having a laugh over history they shouldn't be taken as historically accurate at all

I find most of the comedy to be lame but he does do an excellent job of breaking down every historical event he covers.

Funny story, Lindybeige did a video about that division of Czech soldiers who took over the trans-siberian railway. Fascinating bit of history

M1k3y Czechoslovak legion

It was actually, there were like 4-5 parties in this conflict and it wasn't clear which side will come victorious for 3 years Betrayals, civilian deaths, breaking up families, shooting down peasants for some bread-all that good stuff

In Estonia we wall russian civil was à "freedom war" and we came out pretty good. In the war there were à lot of schoolboys. People were afraid of Red terror. We got pièce of it. It was horrible. And many estonians thought that nazi Germans are going to save us. After the red terror. And it was good. Until we were occupied

Grace Huang *Why does he have to be so mean?*

Bro ur literally not the only one seeing it as well good job

It’s almost as if people get better at things they practice as time goes on.

Revolutions always start off like that. Charismatic leader who offers hope to the oppressed. Past Oppresive government is overthrowed. New oppressive government installed.

This is pretty much the path that the extreme majority of movements devolve into if they become successful. When the preservation of the faction takes priority, it discards its values to survive at the expense of everyone else. Power corrupts super hard.

I think a good point of comparison is the French Revolution. You have an oppressive, outdated government, you a massive and certainly justified popular revolt led by people with radical new ideas for what to replace the oppressive government with, some of whom were no doubt true believers and some of whom just saw it as a path to power, you have massive resistance from surrounding conservative/reactionary governments fearing the threat to the status quo, which leads to the Revolutionaries being further radicalized, and you have the failures of the Revolution projected onto the the entire Ideology as proof of its failure. It's interesting, then, looking at the histories of the respective Ideologies, where you see that Liberalism was, indeed, synonymous with the chaos and bloodshed of the French Revolution for many years in Europe, allowing the reactionary Absolute Monarchies to stay in power, but eventually, a somewhat more moderate version of Liberalism did triumph, sometimes even through peaceful means. I imagine we'll see Communism/Socialism take a similar path in the coming century, especially with many people once again growing justifiably dissatisfied with the status quo. History doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes, as the saying goes.

That's why they're trying to ruin everything now

He was also alive days after being shot and left outside in the snow.

Technically their name was "Women's Battalion of Death". These were all-female units created by the Provisional Government, mainly for propaganda purposes - to raise the patriotic mood in the army and to shame the male soldiers who refuse to fight. Despite their propaganda role, they took a limited part in the war at the front (yes, in Russia in 1917 everything was so bad).

Why does noone use their full name? "Battalion of Death by Old Age"
