The Russian Revolution (Part 1) by Oversimplified | History Teacher Reacts

Peter the great was a madman, killed his own son, technically killed his son in law by alcohol poisoning and many other atrocious things. His mustache was on point though so that's good.

What if Alexander II was never assassinated?

I think aspirin is a blood thinner, exactly the opposite of what you’d want for a hemophiliac.

How did he make the longest oversimplified video longer

Btw how,s life over at the school you teach. says in intaragation mr TERRY.

I remember talking Russian history in highschool good video to remind me we called Rasputin the ninja monk

Another really great history channel that isn't exactly funny but goes into further detail for laymen is History Tea Time with Lindsay Holiday. She focuses primarily on women's history and European history (re: queens), but she did cover Tsarina Alexandra, as well as her and Nicholas's children.

The fact that people are still so entranced by this evil ideology is amazing. Communism killed hundreds of millions of people in the last century. If people learned how to get along and not make petty squabbles, we would all be fine.

So Alexei haemophilia was likely worsened by his mum. She had extreme anxiety, but Rasputin helped her a lot. Nicholas once said something like 'it's better to have one rasputin, then for Alexandra to have another of her moments'. So rasputin calming Alexandra, likely stopped her from making Alexei panic and worry, which would've raised his blood pressure. Add the fact that the doctors were giving him aspirin, which has a side effect of being a blood thinner, amd its probably safe to say he only had a mild case of haemophilia, but everything around him made it worse

Cereal isn't a soup. It's a cold stew

Father Gapon survived Bloody Sunday, only to be assassinated a year later by being hanged

Are muffins cakes? Or are they just flavored bread? Cupcakes are cakes, sure. Muffins are borderline.

Here’s the real controversy, though. Pizzas are sandwiches.

1905 war - send the brown water navy to Japan? Sure. Takes forever, and sucks.

Ra- Ra- Rasputin, lover of the Russian queen, it was a shame how he carried oooon!

*Isn’t one of the lines “Russia’s famous love machine”? 😂

rasputin took him off aspirin wich was thinning the boys blood and sinc ehe had a blood siccness yo udont want to thinn blood and then the boy recovered

fn fact much of japans naval power was started by the dutch who have a long friendly relationship with japan with the dutch being their only european trade partner for along time during its isolation the country still had ties with the netherlands and the dutch later shared designs with the japanese and trained alot of their personel for their navy and even gave them a bunch of ships this leading to japan having a strong navy and thus managing to defeat the russian navy

So... They went from an autocracy to a communist society to whatever you could call Stalin's time, to Communism again, then had a brief stint of trying to be democratic then circled all the way back and became an autocracy again.
"What we learned from history is that we do not learn from history "

Oversimplified is good and then you improve it cool

Nah a strike is when you get a day off school

Im unapologetically capitalist.

I have a cooking degree.
Cereal is soup unless its Oatmeal
Hotdogs are a sandwich not unlike a hoagie but still its own thing.
Muffins aren't cakes, only so I can keep eating them for breckers.

Also, honey is a sauce if thats how you use it and beans on toast is only a meal if you include a side.

Hey big fan
But communism was actually very popular in Germany till some angry Boi came and un alived them all
Also as a union man in a factory a strike is a way to bring the boss to the negotiation table and get better working conditions and in rare cases social activism like in my city when many years ago one of the major universities found out a student was gay so they expelled him and the workers doing renovations on the university at the time went on strike over it and the student was allowed back

Yea sure, Back-To-School merch, as if we even love school 😔

How do u have twice the views as u do subs?? This man needs to have 10x the subs he actually does.

Communism in a nutshell. Commies take over. Tens to hundreds of millions die. Commies pretend they are moral.

min 24 see France

Why is Russia always modernizing just enough to be miserable again??? Like never enough to actually evolve just to keep going!!!

I'm puzzled why you went over this without comment; maybe you took the mention of Aspirin as a joke, but Rasputin keeping the doctors away is likely to have helped, indeed: They were prescribing a blood-thinning agent to someone who tended to bleed a lot. Not a good idea. But then again even today some people seem to regard Aspirin as an all-purpose medication. When I was visiting the US back in '99, I got into a minor accident and had a huge strawberry on my leg. The first thing they did was to throw a bunch of Aspirins in my hand. 🙄🙄🙄

Yes let's totally give the hemophiliac aspirin a blood thinner what can possibly go wrong

All i knew about Rasputin before this video:
Most people looked at him with terror and with fear, but to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear.

Bro we love your channel too never forget that! We just love seeing ya both at once!

Wow, sounds like the US...a LOT!

There’s a fantastic Russian phrase that I feel summarizes the Russian revolution and the transition to communism very well. The rough translation of the phrase into English is “we thought we had hit rock bottom… then we heard a knock from the basement”.

watching this now it reminds me of a saying history does not repeat itself but it does rhyme

I am older. Many of Us SEE The Hat. It is Now & will Always Be. Special Needs Yellow Bus. I can't get Past the Hat

When you have to silence people from talking shit, you know you're doing a shitty job in charge.

And Russia continues to fall behind the entire world to this day

Do a reaction of puppet history

The entire problem with communism in Russia is that the autocracy never ended. It was just under new, equally cruel management. It just pretended to care about its people now.Whenever you try to install a new government which previously had an autocracy, people are going to exploit the lack of democracy to further their power. I hate that people complain as if it's the fault of communism itself, Russia was equally as poor and desolate before the communist revolution.

stalen and moa didn't actually believe they wanted power
