History Matters

I know it's wrong but I will never not use 'Britain' and 'America' as shorthand for the United Kingdom and the United States respectively. Sorry not sorry.

Hi everyone, the next episode is out tomorrow and going forward all of my uploads will be in 4k. As such I've redone everything including the maps and I want to know which format looks the best.

Hi all, there was supposed to be an episode out in 30 minutes but YouTube has opted to demonetise it because I dared to mention Mussolini's name. It'll be up tomorrow as a result.

I love the community around my videos and I generally love the comments. But I promise you I didn't use the flag of Luxembourg, that's what the Netherlands old flag looked like. It's like 40% of the comments on that video. Please.

Sorry about the lack of videos last week. I've got a pretty nasty cold and so my voice sounds disgusting. Hopefully it should be mended by mid week and I can go back to a regular schedule. Sorry about the delays.

Fun history lesson for my American viewers: once upon a time the Pound was worth a lot more than the dollar.

@Kirioth I love also how HMRC also calls you a customer. If I choose not to 'shop' with you I just go to prison.

Does the Kiel Canal make Denmark an island nation? Does Britain's ownership of Gibraltar mean that it's not an island nation? Who decides this stuff?

TIL about contextualising a tweet. Oops.

@SnarkyCyclistAB One of the episodes in the pipeline is 'Why didn't Iraq backdown in 1991?' which covers the USSR and China agreeing with the invasion so expect to see it within the next couple of months.

@HistMattersYT A suggestion: Why did the Soviet Union and People´s Republic of China agree to allow the Security Council and the Coalition to invade Iraq in 1991?

@WPrugbyjeff I think it's 'Why did Ukraine give up its Nukes?'

@HistMattersYT Is it the one about them eating their PM?

People are telling me one of my videos has been shown on Dutch television. Can anyone confirm if this is true? Very cool if so.

The Mod is this one: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/fi…

@SomeRandomHoman There's one that changes the portraits in the game to those from my videos.

Whoever made that HOI 4 mod is a champion and I love you.

There's something I never thought I'd see. Thank you so much to everybody that hit the subscribe button. I can't even begin to tell you what this all means to me.

When do you think World War 2 began?

@gavindwain10 Yeah, it's just a little joke. I say 'now' and the ship in question is a Portuguese ship called a Nau. Just me being silly.

@HistMattersYT are you aware of this random Portuguese ship in the China nukes video?

@FPH42064498 @panstan12 There's 'Why did Australia get involved in Vietnam?', 'Why didn't the Dutch Colonise Australia?' and 'The 1975 Australian Constitutional Crisis: Explained'.

@HistMattersYT could you make a video about the Carlist wars?

@thehistorymatt1 Probably not honestly. It's still about three months away so I could change my mind but there's nothing I can think of right now.

@HistMattersYT Hey History Matters, because you're almost at 1M subs; will you do something for when you reach 1M subs
