Will this video survive demonetization? Should I do another battle in History

[viklifts-zkbl]

I love how historians before Thucydides simply made shit up and no one ever questioned them. "It was a 300 vs 10 mil, my cousin was there and he told me"

I always enjoy the fact that Athens was destroyed yet it just inspired the Athenians to go harder at Salamis instead of giving up

[KyoushaPumpItUp]

I was about to comment in the original video uploaded yesterday that you forgot to mention that Leonidas was already 60 years old when he fought and died in Thermopylae.

[francesco]

Then few years later Sparta was supported by the Persians in his war against Athens.

Moral of the story: ancient Greeks may have hated persians but they hated other greeks much more.

[saffron]

No mention of the 700 Thespians, who refused Leonidas' order to retreat and fought to the death to protect their homes and families. :(

Despite everything I'm sure that battle was intense as hell. The underdog/outnumbered victory stories in wars are fascinating.

Australian history be like :
- humans arrive in prehistoric australia

- they learn to master fire and obliberate them to extinction
- natives vibe
- the british discover australia
- its colonization time
- british send their criminals to australia
- colonizers almost starve
- one Guy who was arrested for stealing a potato masters farming
- they don't starve
- australia tries to get rid of the natives
- they stop
- australia tries to wage war with birds
- they loose (skill issue)
- ww2 time
- japan tries to invade australia
- they get welcomed by the local fauna
- japanese when the swamps start speak crocodilian (merciful neptune)
- the army gets eaten by crocodiles
- australia tries to get rid off the natives again by making their kids Australian
- the other Nations say can u don't and australia stops and says we're sorry
- years later a prime minister disappears after simming and no one notices
- australia gets invaded by rabbits and toads
- australia tries to wage war with nature again by killing camels
- they loose again
- australian text

Buddy you missed the part that even after the defeat at the battle of marathon occurred, the Persian army surrounded Athens and the athenians were looking to surrender. Then report came that Darius had died and then they all retreated. No one was even thinking of the Greek invasion until Xerses thought that it would nice. His advisors told him you have other pressing matters but he didn't listen to them.

300 lives as a 100% historically accurate documentary in my heart and mind.

[MrBenjarming]

Leonidas didn't take the 300 Hippeis with him as they were traditionally peak of their physical condition, which basically meant very young. Instead he took 300 veterans with sons to carry their names, as depicted in the film/graphic novel.

[arakain]

The fact that you used scenes from the movie "meet the spartans" is legendary

"Go tell the Spartans, stranger passing by, that here obedient to their laws we lie." - Inscription on the spartan warrior burial mound

[buckets_o_rust]

Even though it wasn't only 300 men, it's still crazy they fought as well as they did against such overwhelming numbers

1914-1918, 1939-1945: we cant participate in the olympics because of the war

480BC: we cant participate in the war because of the olympics

[-Raylight]

They lost the battle but won the war. That still counts as -one- heroic victory! xD

[stickman_the_youtuber]

As a Greek i call this video historical accurate but i suggest you make a video about salamis platea and mandinea (the battle of mandinea is not a well known battle but it was a Greek offensive at asian minor to liberate the Greeks there.

[microwavegommmm]

Love these vids, the perfect balance a of funny memes and knowledge

[Nodz]

Meet the Spartans is canon, this video proves it
