Social Stud Reacts | Otto von Bismarck - Iron and Blood - Extra History - #3 (FIXED AUDIO)

Mini-bio: My name is Brady. I'm 24 years old and am a graduate student in history. I started this channel as something fun to do while I finish my schooling. My primary area of study ranges roughly from the American Revolution through the first sixty years of the 19th century. While I am a historian (with a B.A. in Liberal Arts), I am a very new historian. I am more of a learner than a teacher, so I use the react format to do a little bit of both. Also, flags are fun, and I like them very much... and video games... and maybe some other stuff. While my videos are not all history related, this channel has a serious social studies bend to it.

Bird Note: I have a bird, his name is Peridot (Peri for short). You may see him appear in some videos and not others. While he has quickly become the channel's mascot, he only appears in videos when he feels like it. I don't force him to come on camera, he just likes being around hoomans, and I am hooman. Also, understand that birds are a lot of work, so don't go out and get one impulsively just because mine appears behaved in my videos. Bird parenting is a full-time job.

Fixed the audio issues with the previous version. That version is still up because I know nothing good comes from deleting a video while its doing well. Either way, I think I've found a system that will prevent any future audio goofs.

As they say, "In Every Age, In Every Place, The Deeds of Men Remain the Same."

In other words, people everywhere usually have the same problems.

You should really do Justinian and Theodora after this, it’s one of the best stories in history.

I assume the door handle thing was metaphorical.

Yeah, extra history does often focus on a single perspective, but, notably, they tend to be character centric, so to speak, as opposed to country focused. They tend to run through the life of a single person, or a small focused event. Basically, they do microhistory, they don't avoid the bigger picture when it's necessary, but they tend to zoom in to something small and specific, a single life, a single battle, a brief campaign. Paradoxically, the character focused series tend to be the broadest by virtue of covering the longest span of time. It can be debated how much historical value this tightly focused style has, but it's a rare approach, and very much refreshing.

Pretty sure Brady keeps getting replaced by alternate versions of himself and that's why we get new formats. I like the invasive universe hopper theory, but lab-born clones, like in Resident Evil: Extinction, is also a good theory

Hey! I came back to give you a 2nd view since you reuploaded. The audio is much better now. Thanks!

[TalasDD]

there should be a series of German history from the saxon perspective.

as a french, we didn't help the americans for no reason: anyone going against the english was considered an ally

[Gustav_Kuriga]

I think you should move the webcam so you aren't blocking the middle bottom of the video.
