the virgin 5'7 Stalin vs the ' Man in France, 6'5, Trust Fund, Brown eyes' Degaulle

1:32 I'm pretty sure the meme is referencing the Fourth Crusade. The Europeans didn't merely not help the Byzantine Empire, they very much destroyed it because instead of going to take back Jerusalem from the Muslims, the leaders of the Fourth Crusades decided to help a pretender to the throne of the Byzantine Empire instead because he offered to pay them a lot. And when they succeeded (by destroying the Byzantine army) and the guy couldn't pay them, they sacked Constantinople instead. So yeah, they did pretty much destroy the Byzantines (or at least severely weakened them). They also all got excommunicated.

Not Drew being so sure about beating FDR 😭😭 that dude had some crazy upper body strength because he couldn't walk

Mannerheim being on that "Would kill me" listing absolutely tracks.
Dude was in cadet school at the age of 14, served 30 years in Russian Empire and getting promoted as a General Lieutenant, was a 3rd westerner to be granted an audience with then current Dalai-lama whom he gifted a pistol and whom Dalai gave a gift to deliver to Tsar Nicholas II, fought in Russo-Japanese war, commanded troops in first world war in several different fronts, pretty much created a model for the Finish defense forces with a Jäger-regiment, said "F this" when Soviets came into the picture and came back to home in Finland, won the Civil War, led FDF against USSR in both Winter- and Continuation war and then became a President.

The mustache man lost because of three simple reasons:
1- Wasn’t holy
2- Wasn’t Roman
3- Wasn’t an empire

10:35 Charles de Gaulle was 195 cm tall, nearly two meters. He would kill you.
This is likely referring to the wartime presidents or prime ministers of France. I couldn’t find any sources for height on Reynaud or Dadalier.

Fun fact the reason that Mussolini looks so crazy is because he was.

On the topic of black armor, I don't know how common it was for plate, but mail was sometimes dipped in molten zinc to give it a rust protectant layer, which also made cleaning it easier and decreased the distance between links to increase protection from piercing blows(at the cost of some extra weight and slightly less flexibility).

I like how the pope is marked as "would kill me"

[justgaming]

I think if Churchill needed to beat you in a fight, he'd just body slam you

"where are these royal bloodlines at"
The Habsburgs have gotten into racing cars.
_Ferdinand Zvonimir Maria Balthus Keith Michael Otto Antal Bahnam Leonhard Habsburg-Lothringen_ won his category at the 24 Hours of Le Mans 3 years ago.
his sister, _Eleonore Maria del Pilar Iona Christina Jelena Habsburg-Lothringen_ married a former F1 driver.

9:16 When it comes to leaders during WW2, I think a lot of the would be very dangerous in a fight since basically all of them were veterans of WW1 or wars that happened around that same time. Assuming we're talking about the day WW2 begins in 1939. Franklin D Rosevelt just wouldn't be fair, he's crippled you could literally just tip his wheelchair over to win. In Japan Emperor Hirohito would be a massive pushover, he has no military experience, and as an Emperor has a thousand guards around at any time so he defiantly isn't ready for a fight. Hideki Tojo isn't in charge just yet but he is also a war veteran so I wouldn't risk it.

11:00 Given that the Showa Emperor was a General/Admiral of the Army and Navy by 1926, I doubt Drew would have a chance against the Emperor at his prime.

The chad Eastern Roman Empire which was both Roman and an Empire lasting 330 to 1453:

0:23 though mongolia was late to officially joining the war, they were still somewhat participating in border skirmishes before that and they also made actual efforts in invading Manchuria alongside the Soviets

[artharias]

4:52 is the Anarchists (CNT) and Communists not under stalin (POUM) talking to Stalinist Communists (PCE) all 3 fought on the same side, that being the Republic, and still tried to kill each other constantly.

[franzxaverjosephconradgraf]

The strangest thing is that the Japanese at the time were okay to continue fighting on after getting nuked twice but wouldn't agree to surrender unconditionally if it would put their Emperor Hirohito's life in danger

[AtlasGamingTX]

1:50 this reminds me I was playing a game of the revolutionary war, I was a colonel and single-handedly dodged and blocked hundreds of bullets, even managing to kill 30 redcoats and injuring many others, in the end he was shot in the leg and then in the head, RIP Colonel C. Grey

8:55 corresction, soviets lost 27-29 million people. that 8.6m is just the military casualties
