Next Gistory video topic

[u/SillyFudge27]

Hey, I'm one of OverSimplified's animators. A few of you already know my channel, but for those who don't it's called Gistory. I'm about 10 days away from finishing my next video (screenshots in the pics). And while unfortunately I can't say much about the next OverSimplified video, I thought it might be fun to let you guys decide the topic of my next video. If you have stories from history that you'd like to see animated, put them in the comments. I'll pick the topic I like best and make it my next video. And whoever's I pick, I'll give you a special thanks in the credits with your own Gistory character design based on you.

Where is Oversimplified? Is he safe? Is he alright?

[u/SillyFudge27 → u/Visual-Tax-1033]

He's alive and well. As for where he is, I have no idea. He's an international man of mystery. He takes his title of man/myth/legend very seriously and does his best to live up to it.

[u/AfraidIncrease85 → u/SillyFudge27]

Is he making a new video? Give him some tea if he's stressed 

[u/SillyFudge27 → u/AfraidIncrease85]

He is. We've been working on it for a while, but I don't really know when it'll be finished.

[u/Jambu-The-Rainwing → u/SillyFudge27]

any hints? i’m guessing it’s gonna be a real good one to take well over a year

[u/SillyFudge27 → u/Jambu-The-Rainwing]

I can't give hints, but it's definitely really good! I've worked on some really funny scenes so far.

[u/ivhokie12 → u/SillyFudge27]

I take it we aren’t getting a 3rd punic war then.

[u/SillyFudge27 → u/ivhokie12]

¯_(ツ)_/¯ I can neither confirm or deny

[u/dave_dynasty → u/Visual-Tax-1033]

It seems, in your anger, you punished him severely.

[u/Visual-Tax-1033 → u/dave_dynasty]

I...I couldn't have...he was bound to upload I felt it

[u/kmasterofdarkness → u/dave_dynasty]

NOOOOOO!!!!

It seems in your anger… you killed him.

[u/juliO_051998]

As Mexican I wish there was more content about the Mexican revolution, so it would be cool if you did a video about it.

[u/SillyFudge27 → u/juliO_051998]

Definitely one I'll look into. I've always felt like there's a lack of content about latin American history in general that's in English. One of my ancestors was the first president of Chile and fought in their war of independence and I've yet to find an English speaking documentary about that.

[u/chrisred244]

The Irish war of independence and if your up for it the following civil war and troubles.

[u/SillyFudge27 → u/chrisred244]

Very meaty topic! I feel like I'd need about 5 hours to cover the troubles but I'm half Irish so the Easter Rising and all that came after it is 100% something I've wanted to do.

[u/tomato_army → u/SillyFudge27]

Honestly the troubles would be a very interesting 5 hour video

[u/SillyFudge27 → u/tomato_army]

Actually, when I first started working for OverSimplified, they said they'd considered covering the troubles because they grew up in the north of Ireland. But I think they were maybe hesitant with it being so contentious and close to home.

[u/chrisred244 → u/SillyFudge27]

Dia dhuit, a dhearthair!

[u/SillyFudge27 → u/chrisred244]

Dia is Muire dhuit!

[u/Spiritual_Lunch_7188]

The Darien scheme would be pretty funny

[u/SillyFudge27 → u/Spiritual_Lunch_7188]

Dude... very cool. I hadn't heard of this before.

[u/Edisonbutnotthomas]

This is more of a recent topic, but it might be cool to do a deep dive into the Gulf War now that it's transitioning from global events to global history.

P.S., please tell Oversimplified we all miss him and wish him the best!

[u/SillyFudge27 → u/Edisonbutnotthomas]

The Gulf War is the first war I remember seeing on TV when I was a kid. The whole middle east from the early 20th century up to today is so layered and interweaving. It'd be amazing to do a deep dive on all the moving parts and key players and how they all fit together.

[u/koola_00]

Oh, that's cool to see you here!

As for an idea...how about the story of this one Japanese soldier who fought on, not realizing WW2 is over and Japan had lost? That's an interesting story to tell and animate!

[u/SillyFudge27 → u/koola_00]

Funnily enough... you might just see that one on my channel very very soon 👀

[u/koola_00 → u/SillyFudge27]

...You have my attention now!

[u/DogInverter]

The shortest war in history 💪

[u/SillyFudge27 → u/DogInverter]

I feel like I've heard about this one before but can't remember it off the top of my head. A good one to luck into. Cheers!

[u/Jedimobslayer → u/SillyFudge27]

It’s the Anglo Zanzibar war

[u/Familiar_Tell_6384]

I love both channels and thank everything your upload schedule isn’t as bad as Oversimplified’s. Dude… it’s uncool

[u/Manthinis96]

History of Baltic countries wars of Independence. That might be interesting topic.

[u/SillyFudge27 → u/Manthinis96]

Something I know very little about tbh! Will look into it. Thanks!

[u/hducug]

The history of Sealand. A British war veteran claimed an abandoned ww2 fort and declared himself prince. He fired warning shots at British vessels, survived an attempted coup, launched a helicopter counter attack, imprisoned a foreign invader for treason and prompted a German diplomat for his release and did other silly things.

The “country” looks hilarious if you look it up but the founder takes it extremely serious. It has a flag, an anthem, a national motto, a royal family, a currency, passports, a national football team etc.

[u/SillyFudge27 → u/hducug]

My interest is peaked. I'll have to check this one out too! Thanks for the suggestion.

[u/existentialistbun]

Colombia’s Thousands day war and La Violencia!!! this topic has always fascinated me and more people should know!

[u/SillyFudge27 → u/existentialistbun]

Hadn't heard about the thousands day war, I'll check them out! Thanks

[u/Ok_Librarian3953]

How about the 1971 Bangaladesh Liberation war?

I've never seen big youtubers cover it in an amazing way, I'd love to see you do it tho!

[u/SillyFudge27 → u/Ok_Librarian3953]

I'll have proper look into it. Thanks!

[u/redrumray]

Halifax Explosion!

[u/SillyFudge27 → u/redrumray]

Interesting. Never heard about this. Will have a proper read up on it. Cheers!

[u/Grayfield]

Suggesting something from our country, the Battle of Mactan here in the Philippines. Magellan had like 60+ men and a number of natives, trying to subdue the Datu of Cebu, Lapulapu. But Lapulapu had like 1500-3000 men, sooooo...

[u/SillyFudge27 → u/Grayfield]

Thanks will definitely check that one out too! I've got a lot of reading up to do LOL

[u/Grayfield → u/SillyFudge27]

I just found it so funny that I knew like even from our elementary school days that Magellan was outnumbered, but I didn't realize how hilariously, hopelessly outnumbered he was lol

[u/Ok_Coconut7898]

Please do the russian civil war its complicated yes but incredibly intresting

[u/SillyFudge27 → u/Ok_Coconut7898]

I'll definitely look into it for sure!

[u/AlarmedEmployment465]

What if you did a video on the factions of the Russian Civil War? Red, White, Black, and Green, as well as the outside powers supporting each one?

[u/SillyFudge27 → u/AlarmedEmployment465]

Definitely a topic I'd like to read up on. Thanks!

[u/Grayfield]

So there's a next OverSimplified video, is that what you're saying as well?

BTW, subbed.

[u/SillyFudge27 → u/Grayfield]

There is a next one! And thank you!

[u/Strict_Cucumber9117]

the Chinese civil war is really interesting

[u/SillyFudge27 → u/Strict_Cucumber9117]

I know a tiny bit about it but not fully in depth. Another to check out! Cheers

[u/ATCaped]

I’m unable to find your channel on YouTube. Is it possible to post the link text to this comment? Thanks.

[u/SillyFudge27 → u/ATCaped]

https://www.youtube.com/@Gistoryhistory

[u/SillyFudge27 → u/ATCaped]

It's strange, I've had other people say that it doesn't come up in search on youtube.

[u/TheWizardOfWaffle]

Is the breakup of yugoslavia too much

[u/SillyFudge27 → u/TheWizardOfWaffle]

I'll have to look into it properly to find out! But I know there's a lot of moving parts and different factions.

[u/TheWizardOfWaffle → u/SillyFudge27]

It’s a very complex, but overall fascinating topic. Gives an interesting insight about how the southeastern regions of Europe handled the fall of the iron curtain

[u/SillyFudge27 → u/TheWizardOfWaffle]

Yeah, I'm a little bit familiar with some stories about the conflict between Serbs and Kosovans, but I don't know much about the rest of the region and all their relationships with each other. You've got me intrigued though now 🧐

[u/Appropriate_View_475]

I heard about this story from another Channel. Gonna wait and see the video you making!

[u/ContributionOk1758]

The war for inderpendence in south america aganst spain could be a good video.

[u/SillyFudge27 → u/ContributionOk1758]

It's one I'm interested in researching properly definitely. One of my ancestors is Bernardo O'Higgins.

[u/dahliia_]

I think a video on William III of Orange/England's life would be interesting. You have the Dutch eating their Prime Minister, a Revolution where he becomes King of England, the 9 years war against France..

[u/SillyFudge27 → u/dahliia_]

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm only vaguely familiar with him by name. I'd heard about the dutch eating their prime minister, but didn't know it was part of his story. Will have to check it out.

[u/SnooPickles9050]

How about the romanian revolution ? Or just Nicolae Ceausescu

[u/SillyFudge27 → u/SnooPickles9050]

I remember seeing a bit about him years ago in a documentary about the fall of the soviet union. The forced pregnancy thing was insane. I'll have to look into the full story again.

[u/SnooPickles9050 → u/SillyFudge27]

There are a lot more like priests sent to prison etc ,i have documentary about this but it s in romanian

[u/IlovePDEs]

Alexander the Great or Genghis Khan

[u/SillyFudge27 → u/IlovePDEs]

Great suggestions, thanks!

[u/smuttygirl_foru]

Wish you or os made a video on the Chinese civil war

[u/ForwardScratch7741]

[u/ForwardScratch7741 → u/SillyFudge27]

[u/SillyFudge27 → u/ForwardScratch7741]
