Romans knew how to move water via aquaducts that opened up dry places like parts of Spain to be able to have a population or larger population. History of Spain is a good one. From Hannibal barca, to Roman, Germanic tribes, moors, then the formation of the Spanish themselves. The mix of culture in that time is pretty cool.

Hello Vlogging Through History, I’m currently studying history in University, and I’ve got to say that you provide such an invaluable service to KZread. The insight of a real historian is something rarely found on this site. I wish you and your channel the best.

Discovered your channel a few weeks ago, binged everything several times. I never liked reaction videos before, but the way you do it, the way you show your emotions (especially in the WW 1-2 casualties reaction)... I can't help but love it. You're making me passionate about history, and you've gain a patreon. Continue the good work! PS: I'm from France, living in Paris. Really looking forward to your visits of the Atlantic wall when the pandemic starts to fade away :)

just found you on the weekend and i have been watching a bunch of videos keep up the great videos. i love history!

Love from Greece!!!i appreciate your videos and commentary about historical events,please make more reactions on the armchair historian,i believe he is one most accurate and entertaining channels

Washington was an AWFUL tactician. However, he was a FANTASTIC Strategist. And that was honestly what the Americans needed, since it was unlikely the Americans were even CAPABLE of defeating organized British forces prior to the Battle of Monmouth

The current format is pretty good, you should keep it. It's always nice to learn more about this topic, thanks for posting!

Ive seen most of the history channels on youtube, but your depth of historical knowledge and personality are great, earned my subscription easily. Im certain you'll reach 1 mil sooner than you think if you keep up the hard work.

A small point on logistics: the comparison in flint quality. British flints in muskets could fire only 6 times before they needed re-sharpening. American flints could fire 60 times before needing re-sharpening. The redcoats had an expression: "Yankee flint is as good as a glass of grog". British commanders frequently bemoaned the flint quality and wanted a supply of flints sent that were the same quality that gentleman hunters used in their fowling pieces.

It took me till college to really understand the American revolution, like as it was and not how we see it. Like “defeating the worlds greatest military” sounds cool but then you realize they probably had most of their troops fighting or stationed in other parts of the world

I love your content! I absolutely love history especially the civil war and the pacific theater in ww2. Keep up the good work!!!

Arm chair historian is a very good youtuber, just cause they do things that others may not cover. I would like to see more reactions to this channel!

Idea: you could have a now-royalty-free painting/picture/etc of the subject in question as your background. I imagine that's a lot of extra effort but it might add an interesting feel to the video....

Note also that muzzleloading muskets could shoot faster than muzzleloading rifles prior to Minié ball ammo. To effectively use rifling, your bullet needed to have a tighter fit. There was a reason militaries stuck to less accurate muskets. Shooting twice as quickly is a huge benefit for volley-fire. Hunting and sniping favored accuracy with your first shot over rate of fire, but it's barely relevant when firing walls of lead into ranks of men.

thanks to your channel.. I not only realized how to do genealogy but I found that on my mothers side of the family ( 6-7th great grand father) was a captain during the revolutionary war! Was captured at the battle of Long Island and was returned later on. So thanks to you I now know some cool info and I’ve learned about history! Thanks!

Hey man doing a great job. Would love you to react to Hip Hughes vid on reconstruction, or anything on reconstruction. Keep up the good work.

I imagined the black space be used for live corrections or clarifications during your videos. Or even updates to upcoming events or simple stuff. Keep up the insightful reactions.

I enjoyed this. Cornwallis is my great uncle. Love your channel.

Interesting fact: I found out just recently my great aunt and mom traced my family up the tree to the revolution and im not sure if it's a bragging right or not given his role in the war but im related to Benedict Arnold, I also tracked my family to the civil war I have photos of the union soilder im related (Andrew Jackson Wright) to who meet his fate do to an ordinance cart that ran him over, now that I think about it I've tracked family in every war the US has been in.

For sure add some small CTAs and other social handles on the bottom of the video. Or if you do a frame around your head put them above or below. Can have a place for sponsors too or link to your patreon in the actual vid instead of the description so it has more impressions. Could also put your logo on the screen or somehow incorporated into the frame you want to put around your head. Another idea is to put the name of the creator of the vid you’re reacting to on their video in smaller text. Idk just some ideas

Maybe for the border you could have a note section that could add more insight about something you talk about it and might have forgot to mention or you found more about after the fact

Finally!, really enjoying your vids, but can you react more to armchair historian?

I would love to see small snippets of regular life things happening during the time frame the video is in

Certainly the slowness of Howe was a major factor as well. And as we learned in Vietnam, you cannot pacify a populace. And "amen" on the desire for other countries wanting to stick it to the British. I think it was Pershing who mentioned Lafayette in a speech in France.

Almost 100k subs nice job

Yoo i found the video you mentioned during your stream.

You're a young guy. The series "Turn" seemed to get Washington's age right. The French Navy beat the British at Yorktown. Not only did Benedict Arnold gain the victory at Saratoga, he laid the ground-work for it by a delaying action down Lake Champlain. One of the more incredible "naval" accomplishments of the Revolution.

Yes I totally agree with your thoughts on Arnold. With his home town 15 minutes from me, he is still remembered good and bad to this day. General Green from RI was definitely are best tactical and fighting commander

I love the color commentary, very informative. My one suggestion is that you match your audio levels with the video you are critiquing.

I would just add that although there are some inaccuracies in the video, Armchair Historian’s other videos are higher quality in many ways. I hadn’t seen this video for a while since your reaction, and it does feel different from Armchair Historian’s later content. The later videos have more meat to them and are more nuanced in ways. If this one was interesting at all I would recommend the two videos by Armchair Historian on the Seven Years’ War, it goes much more in detail than this American revolution one.

Finally a Armchair Historian Video!

You should visit Cowpens or Kings Mountain!

I would love a quote in the bottel related to the video

Yes this format is the best

I realize that this video is a month old. I don’t mind the black bars personally but something you could do if you are using OBS to record is to repeat the video in two layers but have one take up the full black bar area, add a blur over the black bar area layer and then it will look like the full video is in the background but it’s blurred kind of hard to explain over text but you might get the idea.

I’m proud to be from the Greensboro,NC area which is named after Nathaniel Greene and the sight of the battle of the guilford court house and we have so much around the city that is named because of the war

If I could go to Chattanooga or any other historical site for that matter with this beautiful history man I’d have the time of my life. Would probably be the best day of nerding out to history ever. Want to make that happen one day.

You should visit Oak Ridge. The city in particular played an important part in WWII.

In the black space under the video, you can put a scrolling text for calls to action and social media links.

Great video, bro! Wish you knew ancient history (my degrees will be ANE history and Semitic languages) but you put out great content!!

I think you should react to some of the less known Sabaton songs like Wolfpack or Rise of Evil

Hey! I love your channel! I think it would be cool if maybe in the background you put your social links or something, I don’t know how I feel about the pure black background. Additionally, did you attend OSU? I frequently see you repping their merch, and my old history professor and mentor attended there as well.

On the black space around the video, although it would be extra work for you by being video specific, an idea would be that if you had particular thoughts on the video in question that require in depth analysis that would mess with the flow of the overall too much to say, you could place book or paper reccomedations for people to read into the background you would like to add but would take a lectures worth of talking to cover to the degree you would be happy with.

At Cowpens Tarleton sent his best cavalry dragoons ahead of the infantry, and Morgan was aware of this tactic setting up a trap with his sharpshooters. With his most experienced "skirmishers" out of action, like Lee at Gettysburg, Cornwallis was blind to what Washington was doing and got backed into the peninsula at Yorktown while the French turned back the British navy.

My Favorites from Armchair Historian are the 2 videos on WWII The Western Front!

Hi VTH.Really like the channel. Sage history and done entertainingly. I live in England Buckinghamshire, and there are many American linked locations .Next time you come to the UK check out the Chiltern District. I live close to a village with links to Howe.The local church contains a Howe banner from the time of the revolutionary war.

You should have the background look like a war map and and small social media plugs on the bottom

My niece lives in Chattanooga so I’ve seen some of those places

8:07 Washington was incredibly erratic but its worth noting that when he was at his best he had Fredrick the great call him brilliant.

Voices of the past. Don't know if you've been recommended this channel, but they are insanely interesting to me.

According to sites.lafayette.edu/lafayettewwi/, it was General Pershing and his staff that went to Lafayette's grave and Black Jack's aide COL Stanton who said, "Lafayette, we are here!" I have a great interest in John J. Pershing, I've been a Pershing Rifleman since 2006.

Was going to take a Rail Road Vacation to Chattanooga & Area via Amtrak ( Boston -New York - Washington DC - Atlanta or Raleigh ); once there I would probably rent a Cab or Auto. But after getting the Round Trip Cost of three separate stops/trains ( $ 850.00 Plus ) and the bus to and from, which would take at least a day or two each way, I decided to go the less expensive route. Chattanooga had no Passenger Service nor Rail Service. So, Flew USA down and back - 30 minutes - from RI cost $145.00; Rental Car upgrade cost about $250.00 for the week; Motel was about $ 200.00 for 6/7 days. Of course, this was around 2000 -2005. Lot of Great Civil War History. All started after hearing song - " Chattanooga Choo Choo " . You'll need more than one day. Enjoy the Trip.

You really need to come to Massachusetts not only the Boston area but where i live Concord,Lexington etc. Lots to see , where Paul Revere was captured , Concord is almost as it was so long ago .

He's actually considered to be a not so great historical youtuber. He gets a lot of things wrong or out or context etc. There are so many better quality channels.

honestly, as a brit I think the war for independence was lost on the British side from the start. The whole reason it started was due to British debt and taxes on the 13 colonies, so there was no way we would have had the money to keep up the war. it was also inevitable that the French, dutch and Spanish would jump in on the fight too, specifically the French as the 7 years war had just ended, which is also the cause for the debt the British faced and in turn the taxes etc. I think that it was honestly never going to the British, no matter what we had done. And to think that all of this can be rooted back to George Washington starting the French and Indian war all because he attacked a tiny French force at Jumonville Glen. Crazy how history just does that sometimes

Armchair historian does put out a lot of good content, but as you see, a lot of his information seems be what I like to call “traditional history”

@ Vlogging Through History Half the counties in Kentucky are named for people killed at Blue Licks.

I am VERY disappointed that Friedrich Wilhelm (Baron) von Steuben was only a brief footnote in this video. His importance as a General in the Continental Army is extremely underrated. It is because of him that the Continental Army became a REAL and respectful/disciplined and properly trained army.

People do forget that from 1913-1922 about 300,000 to 900,000 Greek civilians where killed by Turkey in the Asia Minor area

I always had a question about royal families. So the house of Tutor was the royal family in power, but when a royal family comes to an end with no remaining members. What happens to the vacant throne? How is a new family put into power?

@VloggingThroughHistory

3 жыл бұрын

It's always an extension of the family. For example, when Queen Elizabeth I died (the final Tudor), the throne passed to the next in line, James I. He was a great grandson of Henry VIII's sister. Every monarch since then in England/Britain/UK has been a descendant of Henry VII (Henry VIII's father). The reason the family/dynasty name changes is because the male line of that family is no longer on the throne, so the dynasty name changes to the new male line. Technically this would mean that when Queen Elizabeth II dies, Charles would be the start of a new dynasty.

Whether or not Britain could actually send another army is very debatable: Britain tended to have a chronic shortage of soldiers in its wars (presumably because of it's focus on the navy,) and between fighting the Second Anglo-Mysore War, and around the world against France, it's far more likely that Britain simply had nothing to send that wouldn't risk losing something far more immediately lucrative.

The guerilla units didn't necessarily retreat when engaged. The very nature of guerilla warfare is to conduct quick attacks typified by speed, surprise, and violence of action usually upon a moving or temporarily halted target (ambush). The objective is to cause physical and psychological damage to the enemy by attacking at a time and place of the guerilla's choosing. Such operations seldom have the task of taking and holding ground.

Bayonet - a device which transforms a musket/rifle to a spear. Also, Chesapeake Bay, where the French Navy took revenge for their humiliating defeat at Quiberon Bay in the 7 years war.

Washington's best decision as a general was ordering his troops not to loot or abuse civilians and strictly enforcing it. That eventually led to public opinion shifting against the British and losing hundreds of little skirmishes to local militias when they decentralized their troops.
