Super, super videos. I just found your site and subscribed. I'm a history buff who has visited numerous sites in France. We lived in Germany and we still have a house in Spain. We will return to Spain in a couple of years when the kids go to university. I'm using your videos to get a better picture of what happened at these sites, plus the back stories. I plan to continue to visit the sites and thanks to you, I will be better educated. I really enjoyed meeting people from all over the world when I went to Vimi and the surrounding sites. It's interesting to hear their stories!

When doing genealogical research a lot of questions arise concerning German ancestors with names like Canii or Savage. Maybe Germans would better know the origins of un-Germanic looking names. Also my mother's French maiden name was changed to the "dit name" Barry, from Baril which is of Gaul or Gallo-Roman origin. The root word for barrier the same as found in Italy.

I knew that James Cook was killed in Hawaii because it was mentioned in the 1980s movie _The Bounty._

"Invade Canada", immediately followed by "Apologise to Canada" 😂

The battle of Bunker Hill started on june 17, my birthday :D

16:50 I don’t understand why this story is in here. The account is entirely plausible and impossible to prove one way or another. Now I have to wonder what else is his opinion and not a fact and why he’s trying to convince me it’s fact.

Im pretty sure alexander graham bell is scottish canadian, not Scottish American. This quiz was a bit too easy for chris

The hundred year war was won by the French and not England though.

In fact the final battle of the Alamo was on March 6th of 1836

I know it would be an 8 hr long video but ur reaction to Dan Carlin would be amazing but more do able mark Felton has great content about ww2 on a lot of things that u may or may not know about love the vids anyway though

The hotdog soundbite is Mitt Romney, Governor of Massachussets, Senator from Utah, and 2008 Republican Presidential nominee.

Hey Chris, to add to the Captain Cook story, one of the men present was actually the future King Kamehameha!

Tahiti is a French colony. I did well got 2 wrong

42/51. Not terrible, but i did guess correct 100% on Pudding street, London😆.

Not much to see at the Alamo? I’ve heard the basement was a cool place to stash a bicycle.

In 1979 I was at the Defense Mapping School at Ft Belvoir, VA and we actually had 3 Iranian officers in our class for topographic survey. Of course that would change dramatically in the next couple of months.

32/50 finally a history quiz I don't get a majority wrong (so far)

I got: Hawaii, Mendeleev, Archimedes, Spitfire, Turkey. You got: Crimean War (Florence Nightengale), Marconi, 18th century (industrial revolution), Gandhi's assassination, 1947 (India/Pakistan). Question 46: Nineveh was founded by the Assyrians before the Babylonians. Such an important city in human history; it's sad that ISIL/ISIS/Daesh were destroying walls and artifacts that they considered idolatrous. The audacity of this tiny blip in human history to decide that their values are more important than history.

For the eureka question, the fact that it specifically talks about a bath points to Archimedes as he was using water displacement to determine the volume of objects.

49.5 out of 51. I hedged on the King Tut one and got the coliseum wrong.

For a Roman Triumph, some victorious generals would live outside the walls for years, politicking to get it. If they entered the city, they lost the right forever. Romans were a little nuts.

THIS IS PEAK CONTENT

Divorced, beheaded, died. Divorced, beheaded, survived. That's the best way to remember old Hank's love life

A small correction as an Iraqi subscriber: Hillah would be the closest modern city to where Babylon used to be, not Baghdad. It's pretty much right next to it, and you can actually visit the city from there, although it's barely excavated and the parts that are excavated are actually in ruins. Love your channel ❤️

Lincoln was a corporate lawyer, the big corporations backed him. In a free market the government doesn't charter/sanction corporations therefore there are no corporations in a free market.

Slightly wierd... I missed the same ones you did, except for the one about Troy.

had a friend over we got 50/50 wow

Not related to the battles but I did not expect to see watch mojo using video from Rome: Total War lol

I got 43/51. I am not pleased with myself lol

Who started reading comments on a quiz video before actually doing the quiz? 🙄 Me.

Missed an opportunity here to have Midway as the 50th question

You're reaction always enhanced the video qualities you're reacting with

Re 3: The Hellenistic Period is named after the Hellenic cultural domination by the successor states of Alexander's Empire

19:29 small correction nubia consists of south egypt and northern sudan.

Please keep doing ERB reactions! I'm loving these

I liked Fremont. The old school GOP was very progressive for their time.

For the Bolshevik Revolution question, you said, "All three men were there." Not true. If you're talking about Nicholas's abdication, then yes, obviously Nicholas was there for that (March 1917). But none of the three men took part in the storming of the Winter Palace during the October revolution/coup.

I got 50 out of 51. Only one I missed was location of modern day Babylon. Said Turkey instead of Iraq

Are you going to be making a video about firebrand?

Please do more ERB reactions!

Straight off the bat there's more than one battle of Thermopylae😂

Please react to Drew Durnil 🙏

I was told that there wouldn't be a quiz today

Sooo everyone’s German? 😅

I don’t think that’s a fair characterization of Atun Shei Films. What he says is a fact is indeed a fact. Now you can raise other facts that shouldn’t be forgotten also but that doesn’t change the facts. Confederate soldiers PERSONAL motivations were for fighting were many but all of them KNEW they were fighting to preserve and expand the institution of slavery. Or as the lost cause Euphamizes it, Southern Liberty and Southern Rights. Most of them either signed up to willingly support this cause primarily or had that in the back of their brain while fighting for their manly honor. The clinging to the status of white men over slaves was shockingly clear in their personal notes and memoirs. I would say he’s correct that this is Neo-Confederate propaganda. The author of the book this is supposedly based on would agree with that statement and he’s not even anti-confederacy like Atun-Shei. He said they took 10% of his book and made it decidedly pro-confederate when it was balanced to both sides. I think you have a bit of a bias yourself in not calling a spade a spade unless it is literally shouting spade from the rooftops on this one As he mentions in a follow up video, which you should react to, he says he is all for telling a civil war movie from the southern perspective. The REAL perspective though. Gods and Generals tells the perspective of what the generals propagated after the war as opposed to what they did before and during the conflict. The best film in his eyes is the outlaw Josey Wales. While it is fictional, the story is one that very could have been true. As it draws from real history and is faithful to the themes. Gods and Generals takes the words of ex confederates after the war for granted and portrays them how they’d wish to be portrayed instead of portraying them as accurate to their actual selves as we possibly can get.

RazorScooter and the ilk do not care about facts. There is no more discussion.

Chris, if you're going to Egypt I'd watch the segment covered by "Best ever food review show". They went to Egypt not too long ago and ran into a ton of hassles and bribing when it comes to specific equipment and odds and ends.

22:50 When I read the question the " Philosophy Football" Monty Python sketch immediately popped into my head and I had to open another tab to watch it.

I only missed the Florence Nightingale one. History knowledge finally paid off
