At this rate you could start to organize your content into playlists too, like video lists about native american conflicts, mongol invasions, WWII stories, etc. to more easily follow the overarching narratives you've been developing. Anyway, appreciate the amazing content as always!

I was close again, I read a book called "The Revenant" by Michael Punke and he talked about certain tribes would wear red warpaint on the tops of there heads which meant that the person wearing the warpaint was a experienced fighter with a certain number of kills, with was also marked by the amount of feathers tied to his Chest and arms. Edit: I would recommend making a video about the book I mentioned, it's a crazy good story, albeit it's not entirely true (the movie it does take some creative liberties to make the film more appealing), but the real story, in my opinion, is just as crazy of a story, would totally recommend the book and film, the character writing is excellent and I really think you guys could do something special with this story of vengeance and the sheer will to live and survive.

For that I would recommend you read the book "empire of the summer moon: the rise and fall of Quoana Parker and the Comanche, America's most powerful Indian tribe". It's my favorite nonfiction novel of all time and as you might be able to guess by the name, details the entirety of the golden age of the Comanche. They essentially would also go on to defeat Mexico, texas, and the United States over and over again in armed combat and are actually credited with being the reason for the formation of the Texas rangers. Eventually, it was not military defeat that forced them to succeed to the United States but rather starvation. Had the Buffalo not died out, the Comanche would have never surrendered. They never lost a single War

@@DavidAguilar-wo6ho the Comanches had the numerical advantage on the Spanish, as well as geographical advantage, that's basically why the Comanches won for years against Spanish settlers, who, the majority of the times, were not even defended by soldiers, and had poor supplies. The Comanches avoided combat on open field, they based their actions on raids and surprise attacks involving several thousands, which were impossible to avoid by the settlers. Spain was always in disadvantage in that situation, It got to the point that Fermín de Mendinueta wrote to the Vicerroy of New Spain and considered abandoning New Mexico if he didn't recieve 1500 horses and powder for the soldiers. Things changed when Juan Bautista de Anza arrived in 1778. He gathered an army of initially 600 men made by soldiers, settlers and natives (not that much really) plus another 200 Ute and Apache in 1779. He eventually defeated Cuerno Verde that same year near the present day Colorado Springs. Anza was now prepared to negotiate peace. The Comanches were now devided in two groups, the ones that wanted peace, under the rule of Ecueracapa, and the ones that didn't, under the rule of Toro Blanco. Eventually, Toro Blanco was killed, and peace was achieved. The Spanish defeated the Comanches, they stopped being a threat, and in fact, the Comanche's power peaked after 1821, when Mexico became independent, and specifically in the 1840's, not when Spain was around.

Pray elaborate on the use of the words "complex civilizations" in this context. I don't want to be unpleasant, but to be honest it sounds like complete nonsense.

@@QualeQualeson Just look up any early native civilization in the United States, they had complex social structures, complete religions/mythology, the Mississippian Culture had entire cities, and the plains natives had very interesting housing structures.

@@PrestonFrankel Compared to what? Let's take the topical Comanches for example. According to Gwynne, they were nomadic hunter/gatherers on a near stone age level technologically. Culturally, they were fairly one dimensional in that they almost exclusively revolved around warfare. They were human, so there's a natural default complexity, but "civilization" by regular definition is hardly present. "Complex civilizations" is a comparative description. I'd like to know what/who you compare them with that elevates them so.

You are a great story teller

This was awesome; I'd hope to learn more about this in the future, great video!

The Rebel Yell was actually influenced by the Comanche/Apache war cries.

the last thing you didn’t want to hear: 1. nuclear war sirens 2. a comanche war cry

As usual, another great one!

Great work on the video history dose.
