History Matters

Makes videos explaining history. Can't draw.

I know it's wrong but I will never not use 'Britain' and 'America' as shorthand for the United Kingdom and the United States respectively.

Sorry not sorry.

Hi everyone, the next episode is out tomorrow and going forward all of my uploads will be in 4k. As such I've redone everything including the maps and I want to know which format looks the best.

[History Matters @HistMattersYT]

Hi all, there was supposed to be an episode out in 30 minutes but YouTube has opted to demonetise it because I dared to mention Mussolini's name. It'll be up tomorrow as a result.

I love the community around my videos and I generally love the comments. But I promise you I didn't use the flag of Luxembourg, that's what the Netherlands old flag looked like.

It's like 40% of the comments on that video. Please.

[History Matters @HistMattersYT]

Sorry about the lack of videos last week. I've got a pretty nasty cold and so my voice sounds disgusting. Hopefully it should be mended by mid week and I can go back to a regular schedule. Sorry about the delays.

Fun history lesson for my American viewers: once upon a time the Pound was worth a lot more than the dollar.

@Kirioth I love also how HMRC also calls you a customer. If I choose not to 'shop' with you I just go to prison.

Does the Kiel Canal make Denmark an island nation? Does Britain's ownership of Gibraltar mean that it's not an island nation? Who decides this stuff?

[History Matters @HistMattersYT]

TIL about contextualising a tweet. Oops.

[History Matters @HistMattersYT]

@SnarkyCyclistAB One of the episodes in the pipeline is 'Why didn't Iraq backdown in 1991?' which covers the USSR and China agreeing with the invasion so expect to see it within the next couple of months.

[History Matters @HistMattersYT]

@WPrugbyjeff I think it's 'Why did Ukraine give up its Nukes?'

[History Matters @HistMattersYT]

People are telling me one of my videos has been shown on Dutch television. Can anyone confirm if this is true? Very cool if so.

@SomeRandomHoman There's one that changes the portraits in the game to those from my videos.

[History Matters @HistMattersYT]

Whoever made that HOI 4 mod is a champion and I love you.

[History Matters @HistMattersYT]

There's something I never thought I'd see. Thank you so much to everybody that hit the subscribe button. I can't even begin to tell you what this all means to me.

[History Matters @HistMattersYT]

When do you think World War 2 began?

[History Matters @HistMattersYT]

@gavindwain10 Yeah, it's just a little joke. I say 'now' and the ship in question is a Portuguese ship called a Nau. Just me being silly.

[History Matters @HistMattersYT]

@FPH42064498 @panstan12 There's 'Why did Australia get involved in Vietnam?', 'Why didn't the Dutch Colonise Australia?' and 'The 1975 Australian Constitutional Crisis: Explained'.

[History Matters @HistMattersYT]

@thehistorymatt1 Probably not honestly. It's still about three months away so I could change my mind but there's nothing I can think of right now.
