(AND ENJOY THE VIDEO!)
i love your videos so much omg
I love your stuff man
You my dude!
Finally
Was good great video
It's amazing how Louis the 16th, one of the "weakest" kings, had such a large impact on history by funding the American Revolution on behalf of the colonies.
He actually wasn't as weak as depicted in general culture. He actually wanted to rule, having grown in the absolute monarchy of divine right. He was opposed to the revolution and tried to betray the nation several times (the King's escape from the Tuileries, Marie Antoinette giving some plans to Austria etc...). So the fact that he was so deeply implied in US history is actually not that surprising.
Arguably this was the worst mistake he ever made
@Landry Longacre I mean, if you're already deep in debt, the last thing you should do is go around financing revolutions just because you're salty about Britain winning the 7 Years War.
Mário Ďuráč oh that too, but I meant helping them rebel to create the USA because this country was a mistake.
@Landry Longacre Oh yeah, no argument there lol. Maybe a second revolution would be in order at this point, just start the country over and try again.
The fact that he added the old united states flag at 3:45 really shows how much care he puts into these videos. Either that or I'm impressed by simple, easy to do things.
@Teman Nkri same to you
What was the point of that
@Leonard Hughe You mean to me or Teman Nkri? Because if for me, then I was simply stating that I think the amount of effort that OverSimplified puts into his videos and that everything in his videos seems to be of very high quality is great, and defiantly deserves praise.
I think your too easily impressed
Allegedly, Marat's skin condition was related to celiac disease. So, ironically, his debilitating skin condition would go away if he stopped eating gluten - as in, bread. Exactly what was lacking at the time.
Wow. That’s so horrible. To think that the cure would have been as simple as just cutting out bread. All his suffering was needless. That’s both funny and sad at the same time.
Separating a Frenchman from pastries is like separating Siamese twins, ultimately more trouble than it’s worth, and likely to cause horrific side effects
@Trombone Man what else would he eat?
@S P flourless chocolate cake? 😂
@S P
let him eat cake
Marie Antoinette was actually quite generous.
1. She donated a lot to charity. There's a letter she sent to her family in Austria that she cared and was concerned about the poor people in France
2. For "Let them eat cake", it's actually Rosseau who spread that propaganda. He probably referred to Queen Maria-Thérèse, the wife of Louis XIV who lived a century prior.
3. She actually popularized the simple white dress to women in France.
*"I was a queen, and you dethroned me. I was a wife, and you killed my husband. I was a mother, and you tore me from my children. Only my blood remains: you are thirsty. Drink it. Hasten to meet it that you may drink it."*
-Marie Antoinette, 1793
She donated to charity but was a strict conservative who wanted her family to remain absolute monarchs, so clearly she liked the idea of people venerating her for her « charity » more than actually helping them. She also wanted to raise an army from Austria to invade her « own people », all to keep power. She did not say « let them eat cake » but her actions are the reason why people assume she did.
At the very least, she faced her fate with dignity. Her last words were "Pardon me, sir, I didn't mean to do that"... referring not to what she was accused of, but to having accidentally stepped on someone's foot on her way to the guillotine.
The same is true for Louis actually. I heard how he was not exactly anti-reformation but rather anti-revolution.
Granted he did not help his case half the time but history paints him in a much worse light then he actually was.
One way I heard it described (I don't know how true it is) is that her famous quote wasn't so much a cruel/uncaring response to the starvation, as it was an ivory-tower liberal ditz's response: If the peasantry lacked bread makings, then simply feed them with cake dough (which was more expensive) to get them through the emergency . Ta-da, problem solved!
Living in Versailles, where the wealthy ate well, it must have sounded to her like a perfectly reasonable plan. It was a problem of total lack of frame of reference, rather than callousness. (although that was a problem, too)
@MM2 Yeah, that's why I never really had a problem with the quote, despite it not being something she actually said; it was accurate to her attitude and what basically everyone thought of the royal family, that they couldn't comprehend what the problem was.
Actually it was Marie's sister, Caroline Antoinette who said "If they can't have bread, let them eat cake instead!" It just got so twisted because the French were so angry the just hated all royals I believe. Marie actually often donated to the poor and charities
How did my comment get so popular?
She got what was coming for her. She’s the Queen. She’s responsible for her country.
@Dusty Honey mate shes the queen, yes, but im pretty damn sure all actual menaingful control goes to the king and the king alone
Sauce please
@Dusty Honey I get where ya coming from, but idk how much power queens had over government
@Dusty Honey She's a foreigner,how could she have control in France?
Tax collector: Hello.
Woman: Hello.
Tax collector: You responded? There's a tax for that, pay up lady.
😂😂😂😂 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA SO FUNNY
And from this we learn: never respond to tax collectors
@Shraga Mildiner "Oh, you're not responding to us? There's a tax for that"
I WHEEZED
*breaths* oof there’s a tax for that
Fun fact, Mozart proposed to marry Antoinette... Imagine if she accepted
I will search this up
I learned this from fate go
I learned this from the manga Innocent. Don't read it if you're squeamish.
Her hair would be a piano
Fun fact, that wasn't a fact, you simply asked "imagine what would have happend"
It takes significant skill to make the French Revolution funny with merch
theres a tax for that
Flags are Flags using a device to write that down? There’s a tax for that
Flags are Flags giving me more tax than required there’s a tax for that
You are amazing. I am impressed how interestingly you combine humour and satire in explaining such confusing and boring topics.
I think this just shows that the topic isn't confusing and boring. It's the teachers.
@Alicia Renae This Channel here aint called Oversimplified for no Reason - so you may not stop here and want to learn more about History. The Fate of French was covered in the provokingly-titled video
'Liberty&Freedom are Left-Wing-Ideas' by 'Second Thought'.
How is it boring. It may be confusing for you,but boring ?
@euryschan as a highschooler with constant boring history teachers the history topic has just became boring for me lol but with this channel its actually entertaining
I'm sorry but if you think that the french revolution is boring you're crazy...
It's an amazing part of history everything changed with the revolution
My history teacher just showed this to our class. We all had a blast and we took notes and this and the second part! Love your videos!!
You love his videos? There's a tax for that!
@cringe_contentYou commented, yeah, there is a tax for that
@UNDER・ LOVE you replied!? Yep there's a tax for that!
@cringe_content Your username has "cringe" in it?
*THERE IS A TAX FOR THAT*
There's a tax for that? YEP THERES A TAX FOR THAT!
Mental note for my upcoming history exam: Locking out the third estate from the building was actually an accident.
The Estates general scheduled an important meeting on a certain day, but they later postponed the meeting to a few days later. They forgot to tell the representatives of the third estate about the moved meeting and the third estate thought they were locked out on purpose, leading to the events of the Tennis Court Oath.
Also, the poorest people were not the driving force of the revolution, it was the average more educated of the third estate that actually started the whole thing. I heard lawyers were mostly behind it though, so...┐( ∵ )┌
Lawyers...
Not really, that's overemphasized in modern teaching simply to discourage any future revolts. The mobs of peasants certainly existed and necessarily ravaged the higher estates
@kno No, it was completely unnecessary and barbaric. Killing women and children simply because of their affiliation with the first 2 estates. Placing heads upon pikes, summary execution with a kangaroo court.
For anyone interested in a little background: Louis XIV introduced a really elaborate form of court etiquette as a way to keep control of his nobles. If they were fighting over who got to hand the King his gloves and who got to help the Queen put on her rouge then they wouldn’t have time to fight with him over important stuff. It sort of worked, and he actually had the longest reign of any monarch (that can be verified), 72 years. His grandson, Louis XV kept the system going, but he was a dilettante who spent his time chasing skirts and moping about his lot in life so the state began to stagnate. He reigned for a long time, almost 59 years. Louis XVI was his grandson and by the time he came to the throne things were in a bad way. France was getting kicked by Britain on the one side and Prussia on the other. It would have taken an extraordinarily strong ruler to turn things around and sadly Louis didn’t qualify.
Yeah if he and his father had switched places he would have been remembered much better
French revolution about kings Louis XVI and Louis XVII
ops
I literally want a video for every single piece of Earth's history. You are amazing.
Skyjohn so your one of those people who instead of going out and gaining knowledge on your own you want someone else to learn everything for you and then spend months creating a video to entertain you while teaching you about that period of history.
@Your Friendly Neighborhood Queer hey that's good idea
@Your Friendly Neighborhood Queer Some of these pepole don't even know about the topics in the first place. Like i didn't about the three kingdoms and how China was ruled during that time. Also the way Oversimplified persents it brings in an audience that otherwise would not traditonally look up history topics.
I never said it was a bad idea also I don’t have a problem with learning from Clip-Share or finding out new things but the way this person worded it made it seem as if he ONLY watches Oversimplified and I think that’s pretty stupid because there is only so much you can learn from one source, and I only want people to be educated.
@Your Friendly Neighborhood Queer Very true. If you only see one thing in life, your perspective is limted.
I love watching your videos so much. They’re my go-to for falling asleep, they’re easy to follow and entertaining. Please never stop making content (unless of course you feel that you need to)
Mee too
Falling asleep? Bro😂
60th likt
@ScissorLuv same tho I do
Zamn
This video was actually really useful. I have an assignment on The French Revolution, and I just used this video because it helps. So thank you.
I have that next year :D
Fun fact: the French military during the French Revolution invented “canning” using boiled food stuffs and absolutely airtight glass containers.
"wow. They're not *THAT* desperate."
Best lines of this whole channel
This video is an assault on Taco Bell crunch wrap supreams
@wildcat swim You sir are an overstuffed stoat! I am here to defend the honor and tastiness of Tao Bell! And apologize as there is no defense for Taco Bell... and you are not a stoat, stuffed or otherwise,,,sorry (no stoats were harmed or offended by this, except those who eat at Taco Bell, but these are already dead and incapable of taking offense).
@wildcat swim I'm with you! I love crunchwraps; and I've never gotten sick from them.
People pulling into Taco Bell:
Me: They're THAT desperate
@wildcat swim and rightfully so!
I have always loves watching history from you. It's so hilarious how you portray historical figures. KEEP IT UP!!!🎉
Tax collector: have you paid your taxes?
Lady: yep.
Tax collector: oh, there’s a tax for that
Lady: ok, here's a pike for that...(*head of yours
Noah Moore and...?
This is literally the top comment
Fun Fact: That tax exists in Spain
Oversimplified did a good job at highlighting how King Louis had it fairly difficult. You can see what he was battling, and possibly what set him up for failure, all at the start of this video. He did indeed drop the ball as far as his responsibility as a king, but the situation that was dropped in his lap, and his own kin, made him too weak for his role. The King is an intriguing dude, because the revolution was in part his fault while simultaneously not his fault.
Btw, I don't think he deserved the weirdo thing at the beginning since he was obviously overloaded. Lol.
I've got to say, Louis seemed like that kind of guy who would make a decent friend, but a terrible leader. I've also got to say his plan to escape France was pretty lousy
Especially the "I hate those parties,it's so awkward". King Louis xvi is a shy guy person and couldn't make eye contact to those who are not close to him.
The King was pretty innocent for the most part, he wasnt at fault but he was. Just like Marie, the deeper you look inside her actual life is extremely depressing.
Fun Fact: Kings of that time usually had mistresses, who would try to influence them politically, and the people would blame the mistress for any political wrong doings, but since Louis XVI had no mistress everyone blamed Marie Antoinette even though she most likely had no idea how bad it was for the common people.
Edit: 700 likes! Mom I made it!
Edit 2: 1.2k. This is my most liked comment EVER!!
Edit 3: IT’S AT 1.8K!!!!
She really didn't, and when she DID find out (even though they were trying to keep it from her) she actually tried to make things better, like reinstating the- I forget the term rn but basically parliament of the people, and made the peasant class have more representation. But the court did NOT like the idea of less power and tried everything to stop her at every turn, including SO MUCH propaganda made up just because the rebel leaders needed the people to hate the monarchy.
Misogyny is everywhere in history it's crazy
@Stuff With Soph It really is and it pisses me off.
Also marie never said the " eat cakes " thing

BUFF ARC
Fun Fact: King Louis was so out of touch with France that when the Bastille was invaded, in his diary he wrote, "Nothing." And that's it. It was later found out that when he wrote "Nothing" It meant that the day he hunted for animals on the same day as the Bastille Massacre, he found no animals.

Fun Fact: Antoinette never actually said the famous line "Let them eat cake." She was way too out of touch with the poor people to even consider it
@Sanjana Karthik hell yessir
@Sanjana Karthik To be fair, She was already hated when she came to France even when she hasn't even done anything simply because she was Austrian. She was also very much a teenager when she reigned and not properly educated on how to be a queen plus It was pretty much her husband's responsibility to care for the people.
@Sanjana Karthik She was a teenager so you can’t really expect that much from her as a queen and France was in financial ruins before she was even queen so you can’t really blame her. If you saw the affair of the diamond necklace, she’s also got framed for things she hasn’t done.
@• Dreamixx • EXACTLY. She was framed for a lot of things which had lowered her reputation ,not only that considering she wasn’t even French gave the people a better chance to blame everything on her so she was kinda the scapegoat queen.
French Revolution is one of the greatest Revolution . It's was like a really emotional ,action , thriller Real life movie . Oversimplified simply did an absolutely brilliant job doing justice to it.
My all knowledge of history on this rev goes to you , it's better to learn this was than boring teaching in schools .
It made France the strongest force in Europe for like 23 years until the unification of Germany
Let’s all appreciate the time and effort he puts in the making the video ❤️
Bot 🙄🙄🙄
Bot
@Absolute Infinity Really ?
@fp2z. 3 years late could have done it any earlier
@Wales Kingdom Countryballs [UK] I'm today years old that I see this
Oversimplified thank you for these very short and simply videos I watch them all the time but for the first time in my life im watching your videos for SCHOOL a Final!!! Your videos alone got me moved up above like my entire grade in history as I watch them for fun so thank you!!
These videos must take a RIDICULOUS amount of time, effort and skill to make. I love them so much!!!
10:06 I love how detailed this is, it even showed that random guy that looked like he was walking, and the people on the right pledging, that guy on the left in a chair..
Marie Antoinette actually didn’t say “let them eat cake”. That was said by a Spanish princess a century earlier. Marie Antoinette’s last words were actually translated to “I’m sorry sir, I meant not to do it” after she stepped on her executioners foot.
yeah she also didn't tell people to go to taco bell grats
@Pirate r/woosh
I don't think anyone ever thought "let them eat cake" was her last words, as implied here.
That made me feel bad for her.
Meh, credit where credit is due, she was kind and gracious in her final moments
Danton: Hey let's calm down and start working on making things better
Robespierre: Sounds like you're losing your head
good one
It’s worth noting that most of the revolutionary sentiment was concentrated among the urban Parisians. The rural peasantry was suffering and wished for reform, but they remained loyal to the monarchy throughout much of the revolution. It was the Parisians who were the most radical and who were best positioned to force concessions from the king, what with Versaille being so close to Paris.
The traitors including Robespierre ruined the system that made France a stable and powerful country and turned it into a hell only to be restored by Napoleon (who btw originally a revolutionary but didn't forgot the importance of monarchism when he became emperor).
This video actually helped me with my history test i just love how his videos are educational and funny
Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to make these videos! This is how I prepare for my history classes. So much better than studying!
Wow, the animation in these...
You put a lot of effort into it, thank you
Remember children, revolution isn’t always the answer.
Sometimes revolution is the question and the answer is yes.
As in should we not star a revolution? Yes!
Lol
@Marko Erakovic there can be a political revolution rather than a revolutionary war revolution is needed though
Isn't Love the answer?
@Jon Dunmore love of our people not love for thy enemies they send our kids to die they don't give a shit by whatever means
The most humorous,yet educational channel on Clip-Share 👍
i miss your vids so much you make learning fun and entertaining not to mention you have a great voice i realyy hope youll be able to upload more i love having you as my history teacher
THANK YOU SO MUCH! This was my LEQ question on my AP World History Test and this saved me so much! Easiest essay of my life, and it’s all thanks to this video. Just THANK YOU! ❤
Just learned about the French Revolution today in school, this video actually helped me a lot. Thanks oversimplified
Just so you know, the women walk to Versailles was not targeting the king, but the QUEEN. She went to the balcony, did not say a single word, and she bowed to the people. Then they re-gained an itsy bitsy amount of sympathy for them, all yelling "All hail the Queen". Then, the royal family was removed from Versailles castle to le Louvre, in the center of Paris, and former royal family palace before Louis XIV built the castle in Versailles.
Parties: exist
The french nobles: *we could make a religion out of this*
At some point we have. It’s called Laïcité. A word usually badly translated as Secularism but it’s not exactly all what Laïcité cover. It’s protected beyond reason for some of our citizens. I am widely for its defense. I am definitely converted to the cult... ;)
sounds like dionysus
Dont
Lol
@Thaleis Von Paris Theres a cult devoted to parties? Cus where do I sign up?
You make teaching my students so easy with these videos. Thank you.
these over simplified history stories are funny af & most of the time historically accurate while being entertaining 🤣🤟🏻 even if it wasn’t it’s close enough for me to listen to regardless while half asleep 🤟🏻
oversimplified puts a lot of work in these videos i love how he mentioned the change of
france's flags
This channel is pure gold!!! Great work!!! Cheers 😃
10:05
i love the fact he did not forget in his redrawing of tennis court oath to add Joseph Martin-Dauch signature the only man who opposed the oath
just like in the orginal picture you can find him on the left sitting down not looking too happy
"Fear, left unchecked, often boils over into anger, and that anger detonates with violence."
Very true, that one statement actually sums up a lot of things.
Fear of diarrhea 😖
I was almost expecting it to go “anger leads to hate, hate leads to the dark side”, lol.
@Chief_BEEF10 violence of diarrhea 💀
@killercore007 suffering not dark side
@OM3GA I know. Just that since he only used 2 statements, I had to improvise.
I'm a Venezuelan guy, and there isn't really fun history videos in spanish. I'm inspiring myself to learn french with your videos. Thank you so much!
wdym learn french,he speaks english in his videos
You literally teach me more about history than any public school could in a week! It’s insane how good your videos are and how they make me genuinely love history. So thank you, I hope your career last a long time and YOU! Yourself, make history!
OverSimple…..you are creative and hilarious dude. I loved history class as a kid and but best grades came from history class. I can say without a doubt if we were friends it school it would have been super fun
Marquis de Lafayette was just an awesome person in general.
This is so funny and understandable. Thank you so much for this.
When you know the history, but still watch for the great jokes.
And memes
I came here for the memes only
@Simone ye
Making jokes with history?
There’s going to be a tax for that
@Wolfe Games lol
Straight up... I've spent my entire life knowing the "... eat cake" from Auntinette.. you finally made it make sense. Thank you
Ironically enough she actually said: “Qu'ils mangent de la brioche," or "Let them eat brioche." Which is basically a fancier version of bread, she was antagonized a lot to be honest but was still quite arrogant and out of touch lmao
@L0ST_WALLET Actually it wasn’t her who said that. It was her sister, Caroline Antoinette.
@Yoosun damn it! I deleted that part of the comment afraid of spreading misinformation but I’ve become the misinformation!
She never actually said that
To be completely honest he should have hundreds of millions of subscribers for his content and history
Bro, love you. Just subscribed. Made my life easier.
You've explained me better than my teachers and source materials!
Love you. Also binged many of your topics. If the three estates were still in order today and I was the ruler of France, I'd invite you to be a citizen and directly put you to the Clergy sub head. A new position made just for you. You didn't need to do anything oversimplyfied, the peasants would take care of you my man.
"wow. They're not THAT desperate."Best lines of this whole channel. Fun fact, Mozart proposed to marry Antoinette... Imagine if she accepted.
Wow, this video was absolutely amazing! I can't thank you enough for creating such a wonderful piece of art. It has inspired me to create videos of my own, and I would be forever grateful if you could take the time to watch some of my videos as I think they are on par with what you have created here. I'm so glad to be able to watch your videos, and I just want to thank you for all the hard work you put into making it so awesome. You're truly an inspiration!
Tax collectors: “ hey. Are you alive? “
Poor: “obviously.. “

Tax collector A: “Oof, yep... there’s a tax for that.”
Hello,I would like to tell you that you made a comment similar to mine,it was like this but had a different ending,just saying! Not trying to be rude.
Oversimplified History is a very boring chapter for me personally thankfully to you im actually like getting into it thank you for the good work and keep uploading videos like this
Damn, what a time to see this video on my feed.
You go French! Show us how French do it!
I knew this would be fun to come back to while I was learning about the French Revolution in my World History class. And boy I wasn't wrong!
I have adhd and I watch your channel a lot because it's funny and I can do chores while listening, however, IVE HEARD THEM ALL 20 TIMES
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
MAKE MORE
PLEASE
THEYRE AWESOME
YOURE AWESOME
PLEASE ❤
I like how he has the first seeds of Revolution originate in a bar in this video, since that is actually historically accurate. A little fun fact: The founding fathers of America first started talking about the oppressive nature of Great Britain in taverns, which would pave the way for revolution. I don’t know if the same is true for France, but it does have its roots in history.
Bruh, just imagine how much research this amazing guy does to make this video + the animations and editing. Not to mention his voice has to match with his animation with the exact speed....
A round of applause to you man.
Always wondered how much time it really takes to make these. And how he makes these.
@RingoA the reason why I never get upset with how little he uploads. I know he's putting his all into it and I trust him
He probably have a team for it.
If they showed this in school (which sadly was ahead of my time in school) besides the point I might’ve actually payed attention. I learned more from this Chanel than 12 years of social studies and history.
Like Nogent said. The "research" is an abridged version of the history lessons for elementary school childrens. It's good to have an overview of the period but it's not really history, it's more a story.
Before seeing this video i didnt care even a little about the french revolution, your videos are so good they make me interested in historical things i didnt care about before
This is so well done 😂 I feel smart and entertained.
The worst part of all is that, although the tax collector scene looks like satirical exaggeration, there were actually a lot more and they all had very high prices
People might not know this but it was really common to assign a married or widow maid in the room of nobility to ensure that they consumate the wedding properly as most of them were kids who were married from age of 10-16.
And also have lessons before marriage as well for the same
I could have lived the rest of my life without knowing that💀 Imagine you are a maid and you have to watch a 10 year old girl/boy have sex for the first time (hopefully the first time). I couldn't imagine how awkward it would be...
I love how when he leaves us with ex: option one and option two he makes it so you can immediately tell which its going to be by being oddly specific
The royalty had awesome parties...
Which enraged the peasants, who revolted violently.
Cali Gaming 😂😂, good one😂😂
Cali Gaming was this from the Hitler one?😂
Was sagst du yea, it was from the part one.
Which lead to more economic downturn
This enraged adolfs father
Who punished him severely
The clergy were actually a lot more open to reform than they're historically given credit for.... most delegates were small scale rural priests, which were not very impressed with absentee bishops and had a lot more in common with peasants. It's not till the seizures of church lands that they turn starkly against the Revoltuon
I love it when a historian actually pronounce porsche properly
I’ve never heard of this channel and was just randomly reading about the French Revolution, this is greatness. What YT was made for
The constant Jokes and laughs this guy throws out makes watching about history fun
cant believe it has been 3 years since this masterpiece came out
Video was posted 7 hours ago and already has half a million views..
I am proud of this channel
What about Pewds??
There's a tax for that
It’s interesting coming back to these videos after you actually know a bit more about the topic and seeing how much gets left out or misconstrued for simplification. I don’t think it would bother me as much but seeing the number of comments that say they’re using this video or others for school assessments is a little concerning haha
This was literally funny as hell well the explanation was also really good
That moment when you're both Oversimplified and Coldplay fan and never knew that one of their biggest song hit 'Viva La Vida' was referring to this part of history.
I love how on the tennis court oath you got everyone’s poses and positioning correct
For a channel with only 29 videos, was able to attract 7.3 Million subs shows its content quality! Just brilliant!
Fun fact:
Knowing Lafayette was really clumsy, Marie Antoinette invited Lafayette to a ball. When he ended up falling, she laughed at him in front of everyone
Marie Antoinette, you have chosen to lose another limb of yours.
No one hurts my large baguette
No one shall laugh at our Large Baguette
Bro learning this before playing assassin’s creed unity is an experience! Everything he said mixed perfectly with the game even the heads on spikes thing
im watching this video for the 100th time and still not getting bored ( btw i love jean paul marats animation)
It’s gotten to the point where I watch these purely for genuine entertainment
Fun fact, Mozart proposed to marry Antoinette... Imagine if she accepted. "wow. They're not THAT desperate."Best lines of this whole channel.
Oh btw Louis XVI only closed down the building of the building because of constructions preparing it for an assembly with all estates together, and not each estate voting privately on issues. Which would've been better for the third estate, but in the confusion they thought the king was trying to take it away.
Oversimplified: doesn’t upload for 2 months
Also Oversimplified: uploads two videos in under 1 hour
*perfectly balanced as all things should be*
A soul for soul
@Gaspar Compaired lol
Oversimplified is communist
( *everyone liked that* )
This enraged his father, who punished him severely.
Out of all videos that use NordVPN sponsorships on their videos, I honestly almost sort of fell in love on how Oversimplified does NordVPN sponsorships. I mean.....IT CAN'T BE A VIDEO WITHOUT IT
Helped me immensely with my AP World history LEQ. Definitely a dub!
I'am flabbergasted King Louis and Tsar Nicholas can be so.. ineffective. Its like they do it on purpose.
The third estate was really getting dunked on. It was almost cathartic to see them revolt and succeed.
Even though the victory went sour with Robespierre and all that.
Surprised he didn't mention that Antoinette never said "Let them eat cake".
That was a political satirical joke that was first said at least when she was a child, if not even earlier.
“Hey, my hair is a boat”. This enraged the populace, who punished her severely.
Nice joke
Nope
Underrated comment, should have at least 2K likes
@RetrO’s Roblox Reviews Oooh no, there's a tax for that.
Thank you for this video, it helped me in writing my 3 pages essay on American vs French Revolution!
I have learned more about history from oversimplified then my history teacher
