1:53 Although in the grand scheme of things Parma had mixed allegiances at that time it was pro church leaning.

2:48 Also the supply lines to the besieging army would be threatened as well.

3:07 He wasn't as much of an Imperial party supporter as he was dissatisfied with the Papal and Bolognese control and governents.

3:40 The English version of Wikipedia.

3:48 To be fare outside of Wikipedia (exceptions apply), you shouldn't be going to any of these pages for source material.

4:56 Also the poem in an of its self had made up some aspects of the war that weren't true.

6:46 All this maneuvering took couple of nights not just one single night.

7:41 Prati di Saletto plateau not Castelletto sorry.

8:49 Even though European infantry war drums are usually seen as a modern era tool they where actually used in battle by the Europeans since the crusades.

10:42 Crespellano, Zola, Samoggia, Anzola, Castelfranco, Piumazzo and the Rhine lock in Casalecchio,

10:44 Locks on the Reno river diverted drinking water to Bologna.

10:49 There are several reasons why the Modenes didn't besiege Bologna and some are still debated to this day. For example Historians are still not sure whether Modena had enough soldiers to even attempt a siege of Bologna on top of that the Modenes supplie lines where already very stretched and it would be hard to have a drawn out siege. Lastly besieging Bologna wouldn't give much direct gains to Modena as they definitely wouldn't be aloud or capable of annexing it.

11:07 It is still debated whether this truly happened or was invented a years later as a funny story/anecdote. However most sources do seem to point towards it actually happening.

12:19 Most of this money was taken by Passerino and Modena it's self didn't see much from it.

Grew up in Modena, have seen the bucket. Can confirm, its a good bucket. 10/10, would have stolen again

[for.tax.reasons]

Oversimplified: hey can I copy your homework
M: sure just give me credit
Oversimplified: ok
This pleased the subscribers, who rewarded them severely

-"This, is a bucket."
-"Dear God."
-"There's more..."
-"....No!"

[GoodFish]

There should be an option to loot enemy's well bucket in games like EU4

[deciusx]

A few years ago (must have been around 2015 or earlier) the Mayor of Bologna asked for the bucket to be lent for a history exposition or something like that.
The response from Modena was literally: “Nice try, but no.”

This channel is so underrated (probably also because of the youtube algorithm). The ammount of research and work and the quality of information are a few times better than many popular history yt channels. Your research is always one step ahead of most channels I know. I really apreciate how you're willing to dig deeper into subjects seemingly well-known like the king Venceslaus carol video or this one. Keep up your great work. If I was earning my own money, I'd definetely become a patron.

[TheGoldenFluzzleBuff]

Literally no one:
Every single history youtuber: Did you know that there was a WAR over a bucket?? 😂😂😂

[ThisisBarris]

Great video M. Laser! I love that you actually went over the general context and significance of this war rather than focusing on the meme aspect of the war like others do. I didn't know the significance of taking a well bucket to basically mock how backward Bologna was - pretty clever imo.

[OzymandiasWasRight]

Oversimplified sent me. Now I shall accomplish nothing today, and binge watch every video here.

[Astropeleki]

I'm here thanks to OverSimplified


Btw, Modena and Bologna still don't like each other. Lol.

[Jimmy_Johns]

Ok, it’s great that Oversimplified gave you credit, because it’s pretty much the same, at least the second part of the OS video. I was your subscriber since before, but definetely will check your videos more often. Great search for sources! 👏🏻

[blueyweird]

Thanks to oversimplified for shouting out your channel. I’m now sub’d.

[Mbewe_SM]

Here from Oversimplified great content instant like.

[daveychaselao]

Modena guy : I love you
Bucket : Uhmm Oh Okay
Modena guy : SAY IT

[dragonrykr]

That Skyrim ambient music though <3

[sllk]

Good to see educational videos trending on YouTube like yours.
P.S. Oversimplified brought me here

[nuclearsurvivor]

Came here from Oversimplified. Just wanna say I love your work and have subscribed. I hope to hear from you soon.

[jmmp]

Just visited the Modela town hall today. It said that some scientific research had been conducted in 2015 and that it had confirmed that the bucket is real. Great video!

[grdprojekt]

This explains why did Enzo Ferrari (Modenese) tell Ferrucio Lamborghini (Bolognese) to bugger off and have that rivalry to this day.

[LandonB]

I love this channel! totally different than other history channels!
