The Spanish Civil War or Mexican Revolution

Maybe some ancient or medival history

7 years war

The history of professional whistling?

War of 1812, Korea, Vietnam, crusades, Russian civil war

Its our Destiny to have every land we just been busy with the World Wars but Canada well UPA (United Providences of America is next)

More like someone finally acknowledging Canada's existance, probably

Russia would also be fine with an invasion of thier home land for other reasons.

Mine is the "You`re an idiot, you`re an idiot" summary. It is something everyone can relate to.

@@aureliodeprimus8018 that's probably mine as well along with the farmers pig story where he the pig is painted as this demented mobster

I didn't notice Scott hiding behind the door at all the the first two times I watched the video

Our history teacher taught us that there is a reason for conflict, and then there's a trigger. Basically the reason is always there, but everybody needs just one thing to go wrong to justify the whole war.

@@steelbear2063 yep. basically that

i mean WW1 started because a teenager shot Archduke Franz Ferdinand. imagine if that gun misfired or the archduke's driver didn't do that right turn.

Desire for war has always been common, throughout history. But good reasons are rare... So people need to stretch the ones they find for the war to be properly 'just'.

The karabakh war is one recent example

That's insane, I thought it was pretty standard to learn about local history on the state level

@@AWACS_Snowblind It is, but we made a maps of Washington and...I can't remember what else. To be fair, they did a great job with American history and we learned a lot about slavery, Jim Crow, the Trail of Tears, etc. I think they decided those bigger topics were more important than the Pig War. They were probably right. But still, we should have heard about this insanity.

As another Seattle native, I remember the classes focusing more on the conflicts with the native tribes like the Suquamish and Puyallup, trying to respect and preserve the native culture. We discussed the 54-40 or Fight, the gold rush, and Hudson bay conflict a bit, but yeah, NONE of this.

@@Metrion77 to be fair while is a funny anecdote is not that important to history Though it could have been if it ended in war of course.

@@Metrion77 Funny, my Washington State history class did teach about it, but yeah, it was mainly about The Whitmans and Weyerhaeuser.

To be fair the British didn't have any reason to fear Argentina

The telegraph was already invented though, not only the electrical telegraph but the optical telegraph even earlier. OK, I get it, even if there were telegraph lines between New York and Philadelphia and some along the railroad lines that is not true in the Wild West. Still, I think there would be faster means of communication if they would want to use it. Like, hey boy, go to the nearest telegraph station by horse or boat and then send this message to Washington D.C. But it is like nowadays: if a water pipe cracks in the office, you can phone your superiors that it is an emergency, send people to fix it at once. Or, if you want the office flooded for some reason, you can write a report on paper and have it sent to the headquarters the next morning, claiming that this is the official way to notify your superiors about stuff happening in the office:P Sure, this is an exagerration but the point is that I think they could get some faster way to communicate if they really wanted to. But you can always say that the mailboat is the usual way to carry reports and you saw no reason to do it otherwise because of this little island occupation :)

and almost 23 years before the invention of the electric iron...or almost 63 years before the invention of the modern electric thermostat iron that Pickett is using.

Yeah. It was dangerous enough with the odd musket misfire, but when WW1 introduced gas and month long stalemates, it lost the image of a glorious and exciting war

@@Metrion77 don't forget the machine guns, or long range artillery

The living in trench conditions for years while being randomly barraged by shellfire day and night

Good. It's one of those things that was a stupid idea then and even more so now.

As for the US Invasion of Canada, outside of some old Cold War contingencies, if the US were to invade Canada, a NATO member and also part of the Commonwealth of Nations, it would WWIII, between the US and the rest of the Free World.

I'm not so sure about that, I mean take a look at how Turkey, a NATO member took half of Cyprus from Greece, another NATO member, the NATO did nothing. And if this would happen, I'm pretty sure all the NATO members would make up the most brilliant ideas for NOT going over there like hey USA you are NATO and Canada you are NATO as well, you guys sort it out it's not our problem:P Hell, no other NATO members could take on the US, not even the UK, and the other member states wouldn't even wanted to get involved in something big like this. If any country, then it could be Russia or China to start the war for they could not tolerate such an increase of US power and influence like doubling the US size. Of course, THEN the rest of the NATO member states SHOULD join the war too because then it's a NATO member state attacked by a non-NATO member and there is no excuse for that, but... I'm pretty sure most of the member states would simply betray the alliance and wouldn't come to help the US either. I mean, it's the World war III, an all-out nuclear war, and just because the USA is an idiot in this scenario with other regimes involved too which don't give a crap about half of their countries blown up, the rest of the world won't follow suit rather start constructing fallout bunkers for their politicians:P No, I think the only way the European member states would be involved in such a war if they would be directly attacked too because then it doesn't matter anymore.

those two ideas are not contradictory.

​@@netuddki2009 You do realize this is over a century before NATO became a thing, yes?

That's not funny those movies are on my don't watch list

@@thebandit0256 Mate, they are more well known for being older books than movies.

As an Indian I really liked your 2nd Idea but my friend Winston is quite skeptical about what you just said and keeps asking me about some Gandhi and famine guys

@@bruh7928 Not sure what to think of that. I just came up with The Bengal Empire because I thought it was a cool name.

And his presidency proved why no one wanted to marry him.

@@vampiregamingyt8754 NOW THAT'S A LOT OF DAMAGE!!!

@@gamezone2996 James Buchanan is the dictionary definition of indecisiveness. He literally said of the secession crisis that he didn't believe the states had the right to secede, but also believed America didn't have the right to keep them from seceding

@@vampiregamingyt8754 OHHHHHH

@@vampiregamingyt8754 He also might have just been gay. That was a common belief at the time at least, and there is some evidence of it

Why can I actually see Biden doing that in a moment of dementia and rage?

As I remember from my Washington State history class, The decision was made because the islands were closer to Washington then Vancouver Island. Based on the fact that the strait was wider between Vancouver Island and San Juan Island then the strait between Lopez Island and Washington State.

don't forget about the German British Rivalry on the World Stage. Britain and France feared a united Germany since it basically had the potential to overcome both of them economically and militarily. With Wilhelm I. and Bismarck around as Chancellor, they didn't want the British to gain a single thing, and while Many Germans live in the US, prussian officers helped to train the Continental Army to form them into an European Style Army and German Volunteers helped the union (there is even a german Version of the Battle Hymn of the Republic for those People) i guess Germany/Prussia hoped to gain a partner Overseas against the British.

We were the most powerful nation in the world for over 300 years so of course others would try to kick the ankles

​@@SweetBrazyNyou were NOT the most powerful nation until the early 20th century 💀💀

@@xyrelium 1588 to 1956 our governments and monarchs heavily influenced the world.

I am not american but I am pretty sure he is

Pretty much one of, if not our greatest presidents, was sandwiched between the two presidents who both could vid for being the worst (Buchanan and Johnson)

He lost a war or an election to pierce?

That's just getting cucked by fate there

I think the Kaiser simply thought that Great Britain is the bigger threat, or not threat, but player in world politics than the US and so it's better not to strenghten its prestige any further. Yes, sure, the USA was an enormous economy and military power even back then, but funny enough no European power seen it as a power in world politics. That point of view did not change up until World War I. And even after that war there was a strong isolationist sentiment even in the US. So I guess the Kaiser just thought hey why not give it to the USA, anything, just not to assist giving Great Britain any more land when half of the world is theirs already:P And as for the family relations, well sometimes that mattered in state affairs, mostly during the medieval times, but not much in this era. The king of Romania came from the German royal family during WWI too, still he agreed to attack A-H (and thus Germany as well).

Also Germany had a strategic interest against Britain. The problems between the two countries was what made Britain flip its attitude towards France to friendly during the 1800s.

#2 is out as the Kaiser had a personal hatred of the British royal family because he had a deformity that he blamed on being related to Victoria.

@@imrpovking845 that was Wilhelm II, not Wilhelm I

Thanks!

You mean the legion of Czechoslovakian soldiers who took over the trans-Siberian railway and stole all the imperial gold reserves?

@@jwil4286 That's the one.

@@kennandunn7533 how could this get any worse???

I mean just look at all the people with cameras and selfies during 06/01/2021(01/06/2021 for Americans)

UnknownDane An elderly Ukrainian lady just got viral by handing a death threat (basically “Pushing Daisies” but with Sunflower seeds) to a Russian soldier. Of course the dark irony being that the soldiers didn’t shoot her and that’s how the footage got to get out in the first place.

Are there penguins in the Falklands?

@@joshuahunt3032 yep well over a million apparently :D

Most Canadians live near the US border where it's warmer, just take that & you have it all. The rest is just emptiness & Inuit with only occasional extreme small towns.

@@fandomguy8025 yeah, but you know a bunch of foresty survivalist dudes are gonna be painful about it. Besides, you're still more used to colder temperatures than most Americans. Although Alaska could be an issue for much the same reason.

As an European I would rather live in Canada than the USA

That would be the easiest war we've won

@@skxlter5747 fear our moose army

@@skxlter5747 I'm sure Germany thought that, too...twice! :D

He is widely agreed upon to be the most useless President in the country's history, if not just straight up the worst of them all. Some like Jackson, Johnson, Pierce or Hoover could certainly apply for being the worst for various reasons but I would personally say that Buchanan was just a complete waste of space who deserved the spot.

Anything the British did.

I claim the entire province of Alberta for uh . . . reasons. Mostly Dinosaur Park Formation and stuff like that, no big reason.

@@maximaldinotrap sorry....we promised that to Justin Bieber if he would leave the lower 48 forever. How about a few thousand acres of pristine ice in the Northwest Territories?
