This is my first video ever. Please be kind!

“So whatever happened to your elementary school teacher?” “Not much, just became the fascist leader of Italy.”

You can tell he's an actual teacher because he leaves the mouse on the pause button

Unpopular opinion: almost every history teacher is cool af

"Even as a history teacher, I'm learning new things." F. Yes. That's how a teacher should be!!!

This felt like showing someone a meme and then getting a 1 hour lecture about it.

My history teacher used oversimplified...of course I was absent that day

Random guy: reacts Oversimplified: it's just normal people History teacher: reacts Oversimplified: *_PROFUSE SWEATING_*

*See's Winston Churchill* My brain: Pass me a cigar and large glass of Brandy.

"I can invade Greece" -Someone who cannot invade Greece

“The term ‘Fascism’ gets thrown around so much these days and it’s hard to define now.” You’re absolutely correct.

Dude I wish I had this teacher

I can't even imagine being Switzerland during all that shit.

*BLAME IT ON THE **-GERMANS!-** **_AUSTRO-HUNGARIAN ARCHDUKE’S CAR DRIVER!_*

USA: Sir, you've been in a coma for 7 years. Switzerland: What'd I miss? USA: World War 2. Switzerland: I MISSED ANOTHER WORLD WAR :(

Teachers like this are the best They’re passionate on what their doing and listen and interact with student like their normal people My civics teachers rn is one of the best teachers I’ve ever had We even made a football bet where I got chick fil bc I won He always has a good lesson and teaches it very well

Mr. Terry:You know, if you take Paris, France will done. HOI 4 players: *Paratroopers intensify*

The world at war Meanwhile Australia is struggling with mother nature

History teacher: Watches Oversimplified videos Oversimplified: There's a tax for that.

Imagine your elementary school teacher becoming the fascist dictator of your country. Also, dr. Seuss made a political comic on The London Blitz. Look it up

I wonder what would happen if Germany invaded the allies before invading Poland? *discovers HOI4* Interesting

Can I just say, at the ending where you recommend your viewers to go like the actual video rather than your own is the sweetest and most appreciative act, especially on UKposts. You seem like a wonderful teacher.

Why are all history teachers cool af... like every history teacher I’ve ever had was chill

I think these oversimplified videos are best as a mind refresher for people who forget the history, and not a form of replacement to history education

He did it in secret... That's why the Panzerkampfwagen I and II were officially developed as agricultural tractors. And with these tractors they rolled to Poland....

You’re a history teacher, I didn’t even need to see the vid for you to get my subscription

One time when I took a beginner level Japanese language course, the professor (who's a Japanese lady) told us a story about an experience she had when she was in college. One of her classes had Chinese and Korean students in it and she felt uncomfortable NOT because of prejudice but because she was a Japanese person in a room full of Chinese and Korean students. This was also a Japanese history course which made the atmosphere all the more distressing. She herself knew about the Rape of Nanking and "comfort women" beforehand. My professor simply got up, went to the front of the class, and apologized for what Japan did. Now, this was upsetting because she felt it was her duty to apologize for something she had nothing to do with. She wasn't even born yet at the time it all happened. The actions of the Japanese military and the approval of it from people who thought it justified had made it that the following generations would feel compelled to take responsibility in order to work with others, especially when those they want to work with are people no one can blame for feeling apprehensive.

Plot Twist: He is oversimplified.

Unlike other react channels that stares at the screen for the rest of the video, you’re so much more deserving of subs for actual explanations, you’ve earned a sub ;)

REAL QUESTION IS: would you use this video in a class? Kids might enjoy learning with visuals more.

It’s like the book “if you give a mouse a cookie” and Germany is the mouse during the phony war.

3:23 Germany got rekked by the treaty of Versailles ‘Virus detected’ Why do I hear the death march?

-poland didnt exist before ww1- Mieszko the first: say sike right now

Teachers deserve a lot more love and respect

Mr. Terry: "WW2 is probably the most famous war" Americans such as myself. Intellectuals: "History started in 1776, everything before that was a mistake!"

I didn't notice how Oversimplified was so oversimplified until I watch this getting a lecture every minute

i love how he's emphasizing the oversimplified content. so we can get full informations.

My History teacher is a really good and interesting man but I wish that I had a teacher like Mr. Terry :D

Mussolini was a bald teacher who was into history. It reminds me of someone...

And now you’ve been given a shoutout by the main UKposts historian himself. Bravo Mr. Terry. You truly are an inspiration to many. You have come so far. And it’ll only grow from here. Thank you Mr. Terry. You are the teacher of all of us.

Europe’s favourite pastime, called Invade A Neighbour.

A fun fact, the Germans rarely used the term "Blitzkrieg". It was just the modern interpretation of the Prussian doctrine of a quick war. They could not sustain a long, attritional war so their wars were always in a mindset of, "Mobilize, fight and win quickly, demobilize." This is also the mindset of the OKW in WW2 as if the war turns out longer than expected, they do not have the men nor material to continue a prolonged fight with the Western Powers with their access to many, many resources such as rubber, oil and rare alloys.

If Chamberlin day was released i would celebrate that and my birthday lol

These 2 videos (this and the original) are so great and educational because they explain one of the most complicated and important events in history in plain language. Having learned about ww2 all throughout school, I had a lot of this info ingrained into my head, but it’s so easy to get lost in the political talk and many different names and locations. Documentaries and history books can be so dense in their vocabulary, so it’s just refreshing to learn about history and keep my attention for once! Good stuff, man.

Always nice to see the take from someone who can expound on the Oversimplified's points in greater detail.

Literally Nobody : Windows 10: VIRUS AND THREAT PROTECTION

These types of reaction videos r actually good cause it’s realy wholesome and he actually adds stuff so your learning whilst learning

Awesome video and awesome idea of having a History teacher reviewing these videos. I had already seen this video and it really helped me to understand better this topics the teacher comments/insights. I hope that Mr. Terry keeps doing this type of videos. Kudos!

I remember watching an episode of "Doc Martin" and as part of a test to determine the mental state of an elderly patient, he asked her "when did WW2 start?". Her answer was brilliant - "1919". When he confronted her about the inaccuracy of that answer, she said, "WW2 was guaranteed the moment the Treaty of Versailles was signed because the burdens were too onerous" (I'm paraphrasing the episode, it's been years since I've seen it).

There was a group called Fasci Siciliani in the late 1880s to 1890s, so Mussolini didn't pick the name of his political organization out of thin air as the video suggests.

“You lied to me…” “What do you expect? I’m Hitler!” 🤣🤣🤣

@Mr.TerryHistory It's so nice to see people who actually react to the videos and not just sit there and do nothing and just stay silent like it's not even worth it then. But you commentate and you actually say some interesting stuff while reacting good job man. Keep up the good work

What Hitler never knew, is how close the RAF was to collapse. IF Hitler had continued, he would have succeeded, but he relented to not waste time.

France had plans to expand Maginot Line by building it in Belgium / through Belgium, but reason it didn't happen is relations between France and Belgium worsened and Belgium pursued being perceived as neutral nation. This ended up badly

1:23 "we all know who he is going to become" *me who doesn't know history intensifies*

If I was in his class, I'd probably get 100 - 99.% on every test or assignment. I love history and Oversimplified I watched every video start to finish.

It's interesting to hear that perspective on Chamberlain, he is certainly judged by history through the perspective of hindsight... As a Brit I would point out that Chamberlain's failures continue to have an impact on Prime Ministers of the UK to this day... Thatcher famously said on more than one occasion "I'm not in the buisness of appeasement" and followed that mantra throughout much of her administration (particularly the Falklands). Tony Blair certainly played on those 'anti-appeasement' ideals during the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan (and destroyed his reputation in the process)… Theresa May had been accused many times by her enemies of being an 'appeaser' during Brexit negotiations... For a British PM, being called an appeaser is the ultimate insult.

there's gonna be another video called "teacher of history teacher reacts about the teacher he taught reacts to Oversimplifed"

3:25 is the ultimate prove he is a real teacher!

"I can fix everything!" No w where have I heard that in modern times......

Hi! I would also like to mention, that Munich Deal is for us Czechs known as "Betrayal from west". We still feel sad about that event. Another thing is, that adding Czechoslovakia to Germany was huge profit for Germans. Czechslovakia had advanced military, industry and skills - which surely helped Hitler with war - he used a lot of our modern tanks etc. We were also ready for fight, we had great defence lines with border of Germany..... but we were sold and than everyone payed the price. Have a nice day, Richard from Czech Rep!

I wouldn't call Mussolini anti-war befor the war, he was anti-foreign war, but he was pro civil war (see violent overthrow of monarchies calls)

"you cant negotiate with a tiger when your head is in its mouth"

Your videos are amazing and I absolutely love them! Just one side-note (obviously from a Pole ahahah). Poland existed before being incorporated into the three powers (Germany, Austria-Hungary and Russia on 1772, 1793 and 1795, the Three Partitions of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, after which we disappear from the map for 123 years.) Poland's 'official' beginning is marked by the year 966, the christianization of Poland by our first Duke, and first ruler of Poland.

Man, 0:19 is the wisest thing i've heard in 2019 so far. You have *ALL* my respect.

The Maginot line wasn't extended because Belgium refused to let France extend it into Belgium which was where building had originally been intended

In about an hour, I have learned 1000X more from Oversimplified videos that I ever learned in schooling :) Im just here to see how accurate they are.

In regards to the Maginot line, I think Belgium was supposed to fortify their border as well and not continue the line to the channel.

"Mussolini fought and died and felt like it was all for nothing" Umm from my understanding you cannot be disappointed after death

This vid didnt mention one important moment. In the begining of war Japan tried to invade Mongolia which was suppported by Soviet Union. Didn't end well and that experience was one of the reason for them to not open the eastern front for Germany later with their invasion of Soviet Union which allowed Stalin to move more troops from the eastern part of the country to the west.

History teachers are without exception epic and cool people

Hello Mr. Terry. I just wanted to say that these videos are really good. Having analysis of these events from someone who knows what they're talking about is really refreshing. I like how they're almost an informatory podcast in the sense that I can leave them on in the background and just listen to what you're saying. Keep the videos up man .

I'm really glad you did this in a way that wasn't stealing content like other reaction channels do. You actually went and gave us more background information and talked about stuff that the video didn't instead of sitting through the whole video and doing nothing. legendary teacher

My history teacher in secondary school was the greatest influence on my academic life. Fostered a real love of learning, critical thinking and a willingness to delve into a differing perspective to this day. Weird to think that Mr Terry is my age, and gives me the same view, from 4000 miles away. A pleasure though. Odd side comment; I never forgot the moment my old teacher (Mr Kew, who I had the pleasure of buying a pint for recently) brought a piece of the Berlin Wall out from his desk. Stunned moment in the class - the man was there, welding a sledgehammer.

I love these oversimplified videos lol seen most of them.. thanks for doing this video! I love history it's so damn interesting

Okay, so I already loved Oversimplified, but your added commentary is beyond cool. It’s awesome seeing a teacher doing something like this.

how about what war can do to technology. WW2 started with propeller driven Bi-planes and ended with Jet-planes in a span of 5 years. that's friggin insane, that would be the equivalent of having the first computer ever put into service and 5 years later have the first octa-core.

In 5th grade when we would do history, my teacher always showed us Oversimplified and we liked watching Oversimplified cuz he was funny

This is some of the best reaction I have ever seen

Hey, I just wanted to say that I absolutely love your channel. I discovered it with the epic rap battle reaction videos and have been hooked since. I love that you give an extra bit of information on top of the already great over-simplified series. You clearly have a passion for History, your students are very lucky to have you as their teacher!

Good reaction not like some people

I have a presentation about WWII next week, thanks for the help sir

The point about the Maginot line. it was intened to reach the coast, but the Low Countries objected as they felt it was being abandoned by France. There was another defensive line built in that section, but far less extensive nor sophisticated On Norway.... the entire campaign was planned by Churchill.

I discovered you about an hour ago, and you are awesome! You just earned yourself a subscriber!

The maginot line was not extended all the way to the coast because where it ends it was supposed to line up with belgian fortifications which was planned but at that time not made

I refreshed my homepage 10 times and this was the top result every time

German Guy here. I found your channel with the oversimplified videos and it shocked me how much details my history teacher skipped from WW1 to the cold War. Thanks for explaining many things that weren't in the video :)

This is simply an excellent video with very insightful commentary. Keep up the good work sir ! :)

9:30 same in my country happened when a disguised "cigarette factory" used to make ammo

His laugh when he saw Mussolini going bald HAHHAHAHAH

WWII is like this: Hitler: TIME FOR WAR **Sabaton Music begins** Hitler: OH NO! ITZ ZE ZABATON MUZIC!

Congrats For 50k subs! Keep It Up and honestly 50k is nothing since you deserve 1 MILLION...Truly

My favorite history teacher showed us Oversimplified videos and it was amazing! I miss that teacher so much...

Wow, this video is amazing. I love history, it's my favourite subject in school, and seeing a history teacher watching oversimplified is kinda cool and funny since I watch oversimplified a lot :)

About Maginot Line, the only plan to extend it was with belgium line, but they didn't build it.

Few inaccuracies in both the video and the commentary; reason is that most of older history book especially those used in schools are outdated. Maginot line did extend to the coast; northern part was a combination of smaller fortifications and a movable line in the form of high concentration of non-mechanized troops and big heavy modern tank units meant to move into Belgium or south depending where the invasion will occur. Areas around the Ardenne where fortified as part of the Maginot Line; problem is the very high tech French fortresses was supposed to be used together with conventional army units to be stoppable force and not act as single solution defense force as popular believed. Building was behind schedule but there were still lots of heavy fortresses that took Germans weeks to neutralise a single fortress complex; the only one to fall during the Battle of France. Also they together with supporting troops were suppose to delay any attack for 30 days and not be impregnable as popularly believed. So when the main units were drawn into Belgium and the weaker units made up largely of senior part time reserves that was not well trained was left north of Sedan to stop the fully mechanized German units (troops and tanks together moving fast as a unit) could push through after the Luftwaffe bomb the crap out of them since Allies air forces where all deployed to Belgium. Even together with all against them the French units held of the German Panzer 1 and 2 divisions for couple of days causing heavy losses against for Panzer 1. Also French did advance technologically wise, problem was military doctrine was still stuck in WW1 mode so infantry was not mechanised and heavy tank units had non infantry and slow. But where they faced the Germans head on they were the superior force. The Manstein plan could have easily stopped by the French on various occasions; by diverting air forces to Sedan or by moving in reinforcements when the Germans were held back at the Muze or by moving the larger units from the south up north instead keeping them stationed to protect the roads south. Basically the fall of France can be blamed on the poor French command structure, and lack of central command and specifically on General Huntzinger who made poor decision on poor decision and lied about the situation at Sedan to not make himself look bad.

This turned fro oversimplified to just simplified. I LOVE IT!

Benito’s past self:”you have become the very thing you swore to destroy”

Great addition to the video! Extremely positively surprised for a 'reaction' video! Sidenote: a hat! A teacher with a hat! I thought you were archenemies

Hey you should do more of these! These videos are amazing!
