You don’t say. Eddie likely wanted to restore some of the monarchy's power and was sympathetic of that Austro-German with the funny mustache, so he had to go. Wallis Simpson was just an excuse to get rid of him, and yet the Windsors once more discovered that marrying a multi-divorced actress was a bad idea.

A bit of Eddie sperging here but I do wonder a lot as to the extent of his Nazi sympathiees. Today he ets painted widley as the Nazi king (Which implies eh wold've sent the jews right over or some shit) but what is rarely touched on is his service in WW1. He did witness the effects frontline combat did with his service in the medical field as well as royal tours of the front and like a lot of appeasement politicians probably didn't want that repeated.

That being said, the Marburg letters have and likely never will be released, and he did leak at least some intel to the Germans, as well as allegedly state that bombing the UK would make Britain drop out of the war.

During his brief reign he did have a weird group of support for his marriage, including Churchill and Mosley.

Now, I do understand that Edward seemed too sympathetic to the Third Reich and that likely would've made him less likely to wage war against them, but I also don't think he was going to turn himself into Hitler's puppet. At worst, he would have wanted to seek neutrality rather than side with the Reds, if some correspondences suggest.

Can't go wrong with History Matters. Granted, he used to do longer topics on more known events but he still is pretty good on more obscure topics.

I remember reading somewhere that the British royal family had drafted several documents on conditions of their own surrender if Great Britain had to surrender to Germany in World War II. I believe they are still inaccessible to the public. Maybe they had details of what they wanted Edward to do.

Man, I bet Tolkien is spinning hard enough in his grave to produce more power than Hoover Dam.

On a more productive note, what do you Farmers like about Tolkien the most? I personally enjoy the long, info-filled appendices. They're enjoyable because its info that wouldn't have been there without the thought of the author.

I just appreciate the amount of thought the man put into his world. Entire false languages, fake histories that go back centuries, if not millennia, the man didn't just create a setting, like D&D, he literally created a world and he wanted you to be a part of it.

It being his magnum opus and something he was truly passionate about. One of my personal heroes for how dedicated he was to the world he made even if in the beginning when he was scribbling it down on scraps in the trenches he may have felt no one would get it. I think he said once in an interview someone askwed him when Lord of the Rings was published if he was done ansd would finally move onto actual work in relation to him being a professor on Literature and Anglo-Saxon studies, and he had replied that his work wasn't silly. I think he always knew the impact his work would have on literature.

Tolkien's legendarium, but the three Lord of the Rings books in particular, are some of the best selling books in the world, behind the bible of course.

Also I do love how much of a traditional Catholic he was, dowen to hating when one of his churches switched to English mass.

Still waiting for another part in the 10 Minute English history series. 3 years waiting...

I'll admit I haven't really seen his 10 minute vids, but in a QnA he said he wanted to do more but can't for a reason I can't remember off the top of my head. Will have to check them out.

I think OverSimplified needs to be put into the OP. As a point of proof, here's his ACW part 1, which is a shitton of "Muh Slavery" Whinging.

To be totally fair to him , if he didn't he probably would have drawn the ire of many a retard pissed he didn't make out the south to be awful neo-nazis.

Also the whole "muh slavery" argument doesn't own the states right narrative , the war was over states rights to allow the ownership of slaves , just because we see slavery as a objective evil in 2021 doesn't mean people in the 1860s did.

That's a little optimistic of a view. It doesn't matter if slavery was still considered a necessary evil during the time period, and that secession was a fundamental right of states even if their motive seemed atrocious, the fact that OS makes a point to rattle off a bunch of documents mentioning slavery as a motive for secession indicates he fully believes that there was no other reason to be considered and the CSA was a pure evil entity whose citizenry deserved to suffer.

Never really watched him but I probably should've. His content does fit under the pop-history and the use of rage comic faces makes it even more worse.

Discourse.

Late, but I want to say that the ones that write history are the survivors, not the winners or losers. A group might get nearly extinct from another group, but if they outlast them then that other group was full of evil sodomites.
Also I wouldn't put something as history until everybody involved with the event are long dead.

History is written by the sponosors and state.

Ok this just confirms Cynical browses Leftist echo chambers. The US shifting right is a regular talking point at leftist subreddits.

If the United States was on a rightward tick, then we wouldn't in the 80's have seen Reagan offer amnesty to illegal immigrants, the culture war the Evangelicals waged would have been won by them, gun rights would have been fortified rather than trampled, abortion would be even more a taboo topic, gay marriage would still be not legal not including still taboo to be homo, Transgenderism would rightfully be viewed as degenerate,etc... The fact that basic border security with a nation whose been overtaken by naked corruption and its narco violence is spilling out to border states is a fiercely debated topic or not discussed at all should tell you.

New video from Dovahatty on Israel and the Jews. Its called an Unbiased History but even still it is a big departure from the old format at least in terms of artistic style.
