You should do french Revolution and Napolenic wars.

[syamft]

FINALLY THEY REALIZED THAT THEY HAVE A CHANNEL LESGOOO

[sarareiss]

I honestly love their videos. It even helped me in class. During the pandemic we were learning history over the phone, and the teacher asked who knew the alliances that inflamed WW1, and I remembered their whole rundown, and so I started to say....

[Beorthere]

As an American of mostly English descent, I love this. Gotta remember my original roots.

[TheDarkCeratosaurus]

this was AMAZING!! i'm glad that after almost 2 years, you're back with another song!!

[dodec]

Nice, but WW1, WW2, Vikings and Cold War remain my favourites.

Could you do one about the Dutch Revolt/Republic?

[aqua]

This youtube channel DEFINITELY deserves more subscribers !

[ramonribascasasayas]

Small detail: The Alfred and the Guthrun impersonators look to me the SAME as the ones in Vikings (in one take) years ago.

Make Britannia Great Again - Donald Britrump

[liurui]

you're back! That's so great

[bloxynflox]

This was great! Unfortunately ill have to wait 1 year for the next episode of history bombs

[BJIa]

Yes I really like it when a one take rap lesson happens on this channel. Maybe you can do another about the Industrial Revolution and how the computer helped advance modern tech so quickly. Also hopfully when 2050 happens this channel will still be around and we might get a rap recap of how the 21st century started and then in 2100 how it all happened can’t wait for more rap vids.

A small correction here Christianity didn't bring writing to the Anglo-Saxons they already had the Anglo-Saxon Runes they brought from their german homeland and there are numerous inscriptions in the Anglo-Saxon Runes so they already knew how to read and write way before the Latin alphabet was introduced to them

[Snorlaxitives.]

Thanks for making a new video been waiting for a while

[piousbasas]

Can you do the crimean war next and the napoleonic wars

[oliversherman]

[ScottishMeetBall]

I'm so glad you cast the same people to play Guthrum and Alfred in the Vikings Episode

[Michael-zikk]
