10 Historical Facts You Should Know (But Probably Don’t)

History is a muddle, a maze, a mess even!

PLEASE more general interest/history lists like this. The movie based videos are getting a little repetitive...the same movies keep showing up.
I'd like to see more non-movie lists on WhatCultureHorror as well...you could focus on topics that fit the horror theme of the channel.

Fanta: Blitzkrieg your thirst!
Fanta: We need drinking room!
Fanta: Reject the blight of juice!

[DreynHarry]

Fanta is a short form for: Fantastische Limonade (fantastic lemonade)

Nice to have WC bring back a general list like the old times. Did enjoy the Creepiest Sounds in
history one.

As if we needed another reason to not take the grammys seriously...

Another soft drink fact: club soda was originally a branded drink originating from Ireland, before becoming a generic term. It was created for use in a gentleman's club, hence the name. The company still exists but doesn't sell club soda. They have other brands like Club Orange and Club Lemon.

It should be noted that the drugs Hitler was using were acceptable in his time. Heroin and cocaine were legitimate medicines at one time and methamphetamines were used worldwide at the time. I'm not a Hitlerist, just a chemistry enthusiast

WhatCulture should make a history channel for facts called WhatHistory

You mean Henry IV was the first King of all of England to speak Modern English?
Old English aka Anglo-Saxon began around the 5th century AD. Many kings in England spoke it. Then came Middle English or Anglo-Norman which began from the Norman Conquest in 1066 AD and went for 4 more centuries. Then came Modern English which began in the 14th century and solidified most in the 16th century AD. Henry was born in 1367, so this was around most of his life.

Was this something Garreth was interested in, or was this just to make a quota of videos. It’s a neat video, just seems a bit out of WhatCulture’s usual MO

[weirdlyinteresting]

Absolutely amazing video 🔥 Can’t wait for what’s to come!

Fun fact: The Constitution of Australia lists New Zealand as one of the States of Australia.

I can't tell you what historical facts I don't know that I 'd like your channel to cover ... because I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE LOL

[charlescassis]

The fact that St. Nicholas and the Ecumenical Council of Nicaea were on a what culture video is more of a shock than anything else. Also ive never heard it told that way and now i dont know how else to tell it

[DreynHarry]

The first English king who has spoken English was John I. not Henry IV.

So factor in that Nintendo was around way before the computer or gameconsole. As well as the fact that germany was a unification of preexisting states and it all makes more sence.

Why do I find it funny that when he talks about the island of Britain, they have a photo of Neist Point on the Isle of Skye? Technically not part of the island of Britain, and the people that lived there at the time probably weren't speaking English either

[servalous]

The "german" is older then 120years... back in the days of romans there was an area called germania; additionaly in the 10th century the holy roman-german empire was founded with a german emperor... you cod say a unified "germany" is around 120 years old. the US had a similar story...

[Trixstien]

The creators of Superman sold him to DC Comics for only $130 cause they thought no one would like him.

I could swear that the 3 Edward's Longshanks, his son Edward II, and Edward III were more "English centered"
