Bismarck’s neighbor: want that peasant army gone? Bismarck: want that head of Yours gone?

I love the chutzpah Bismark displayed during his period of good-ish ideas. Recruit a peasant levy to keep the peasants down? Sure! Disguise yourself by trimming your beard? Sure! Elevate a six-year-old to the throne without asking his mom? Sure! That kind of chutzpah is one of the most important qualities a great leader needs. However, Bismark still lacked another equally-vital quality: Not failing at basically everything.

I'm sure you guys get this all the time but you are so much more engaging than anyone I've ever seen, I could watch you for hours when at high school the same lessons and information was made boring and a drag. You do everything I wish the American school system did from the begining.

I squealed when you cracked that joke about VTM. I love your guy's video's and this just makes me want to watch more. Please keep up the good work.

Fudge me sideways, I love you all already, but that Vampire: The Masquerade reference has me swooning all over again... ;)

After this, you should do a short video about the Toledo War.

Ike Okereke It's pretty insignificant in the grand scheme of things, though. Maybe something about the American entry into World War 1? I imagine there'd be some very interesting debates about the benefits of isolationism from that period.

DylanDude Who cares if it is a small moment in history. As well, Extra History seems to look at lesser known parts of history.

Ike Okereke There's not a whole lot to talk about there, though. There was a dispute between Ohio and Michigan, and some skirmishes, but that's about it.

Extra Credits, You do a FABULOUS JOB on Extra History!

A whole series on the Concert of Europe would be interesting.

If anyone is interested in a more detailed account of the revolutions of 1848, Mike Duncan has just finished talking about the revolution in France over at revolutionspodcast.com

I’ve been waiting for this all week!!!

That World of Darkness reference hah, that had me laughing so hard I could hardly breath! Very well placed!

Pleaseeeeee! Make a series over Julius Caesars early life. Not a lot of people know about the turmoils he went through when he was teen like how the first Roman dictator took away his title, wealth, and annulled Caesar's marriage. How he steps on Britain's shore and instantly leaves, comes back with twice as many soldiers and gets beat. It like main stream media only thinks of him as over throwing democrac republic when in reality, he over threw a corrupt anti system, ran by powerful family that was anything but a republic.

I would like to see a caesar vs cato. From their boyhood.

"C'mon lads! To Berlin!" Really?!

I've watched this video 5/7 days so far. At least once but usually twice a day. I haven't done this since Admiral Yi. Another EXTRA HISTORY MASTAPIECE I can't wait for Sunday!

what a fascinating man didn't think he would be this interesting can't wait for next week

I'm always wondering why all male Hohenzollerns seem to be named either Wilhelm, Friedrich or Friedrich Wilhelm....

IronVader Probably because of Old Fritz and trying to recapture the glory. In the same way most British kings after the Glorious Revolution have been called (or at least reigned as) George. Hell, Prince Charles may even reign as George VII

TheBespectacledN00b It started a bit earlier though. Fritz grandfather was the first Friedrich Wilhelm, and from then one the heir to the family was always named either Friedrich or Wilhelm or Friedrich Wilhelm, until after WW1. The current head of the family is Georg Friedrich though, so the Friedrich is still there.

That was a tradition in the Brandenburg line of the Hohenzollern that goes beyond Friedrich II (the Great). Friedrich was a frequent name even in the medieval beginnings of the house, while the combination "Friedrich Wilhelm" is probably an homage to the Great Elector ("Großer Kurfürst"), Friedrich Wilhelm I of Brandenburg. Naming traditions like these (with changes every few centuries or so) are quite common in German ruling houses. The Thuringian House Reuß turned this up to eleven with naming _every_ male member of the family "Heinrich" (and coming up with some confusing schemes to limit the numbers).

Remember, Bismarck always had a plan.

Oh my God. I absolutely lost it when you went down the rabbit hole with the Vampire: The Masquerade reference!

I think Bismark was actually brought up at one point in Clanbook: Ventrue. Someone was bemoaning the fact that they couldn't bring him into the clan 'cos he was too high profile.

Nah, I liked Bismarck the Wild...
