Yes, I did call Italy the Iberian peninsula. My bad! That's definitely Spain.
I've been making a card game and your commentaries have really helped me learn so much so fast to make the game at a rapid speed. So thank you Chris
Oversimplified has become more violent lmao 😂 also I tried to find any sources on the father in law/son in law “relationship” and came up empty. Believe me I tried lmao
Could you please wait at least a day before publishing a reaction?
It is as though whenever Oversimplified uploads, a million voices cry out in joy. And are suddenly silenced…
So I had to look this up first because I didn't want to put out false information. But yeah that is definitely the wrong Scipio you're thinking about lol. The Roman Consol Scipio is Africanus father. Weird how the sons of two different people who are at war with each other would become rivals after each side was losing lol.
Always excited to watch your commentary when Oversimplified drops a video!
I’m surprised you were this fast this was DONE TODAY.
how does bro finish this video 1 hour after the oversimplified video is released
Rome did saguntum dirty😢
I love how much videos like this get people into history, history teaches a lot of lessons.
You should check out History Marche's Hannibal series.
You made a mistake refereeing to the Scipio sent to Spain as Hannibal's Rival. This is not Scipio Africanus, this is his father at this point.
If you like this video you should check out the extra history video series on this
Extra History did some videos on this too that are pretty good.
Hannibal is my favorite historical general of all time. It's such a natural story if you think about it. Would make an amazing Shakespearean tragedy.
I thought we were going to get an oversimplified video on oversimplified
The punic wars 2 this time the role of the ocean will be played by Hannibal…
32:22 This one is the father. The showdown was between his elder son (who was bearing the same name) and Hannibal.
❤️🤍💙From a Rangers fc fan
What a great way to start my birthday!!! An Oversimplified video and VTH rescting to it.
A bit of critisism on my part. The man has barely uploaded and you're already reacting to it. At least give the uploader some time get some amount of views on the video. But anyway, that's just my way of thinking.
This Scipio isn't the famous great general, it's his son, or "Younger". Sorry if you comment on it later. Hannibal and Scipio Africanis easily are a couple of the greatest in history. What a turning point in world history this particular war is
Like if you came here to learn more after watching the video on Oversimplified's channel! 😊
Thanks VTH for reminding us to first support the original creators ❤
Leecher!
Can I see your original first reactions to oversimplified video please
Watched them while they were still having their premiers going.
Your reactions are always part of the oversimplified narrative experience!
My man aint wasting no time
Your suggestion to Scipio reminds me of a line from Almost Heroes (Matthew Perry/Chris Farley):
“Rest assured, Bidwell. In 20 years or so, the ravages of old age will deal with the bear [that tore your ear off] far more cruelly than we ever could have”
So happy this dropped 😭😭
Oversimplified and VTH go together like shrimp and grits
The Publius Cornelius Scipio at the beginning was actually his father, although both him and his elder son have the same name, his son would be famously known as Scipio 'Africanus'.
This channel has always been my next stop after just watching the original content, so rest assured I made sure to watch their original content, don't worry lol
I feel this video should’ve waited a few days at least.
Still love this channel.
32:35 That Scipio it's actually Scipio Africanus father.
Man Chris was on this fast, good stuff!
Holy…. we get 2 parts of an Oversimplified's video and get a reaction from VTH in the same day? Today is a blessing.
Maybe he could change his name to Overspankified…
I watched this video expecting a shocked video to the shocking brutality in the video but not what I expected.
The Saguntum situation isn't portrayed accurately in Oversimplified's video. Saguntum isn't some city clearly in Carthage's area but rather right next to the Ebro River. Still… should be easy to figure out… which side is it on. Well that's the problem… it splits.
The Ebro river split at parts and Saguntum sat in between both parts. Carthage claimed that the river officially diverts north so Saguntum was on Carthage's side of the river per the treaty. Rome claimed that the Ebro river officially diverts south so Saguntum was on Rome's side per the treaty. This wasn't a situation where Rome picked a random city clearly in Carthage's region. It was a problem that was very common and still shows up to this day.
Love what you do, Chris. I’ve been reading some stuff on the Punic wars, and Carthage Rome relations for awhile. And hearing your commentary is always fun. 💪🏻
I just watched part 2 and this is the craziest & most brilliant military campaign I've ever heard of in my life!
Regarding the ~14:00 bit (which seems to be a twisted version of Mufasa's talk with Simba), I recall Atun-Shei maybe saying that there are very few human experiences like collective defeat (in that case he was talking about the aftermath of the civil war) I assume Hamilcar would've been in a very similar situation, feeling betrayed, pointless, maybe emasculated. We can find societies dealing with defeat all over history and most of the time they make revenge a part of their identity. I am willing to bet Hamilcar left for Spain with a base of suporters that felt exactly the same, and this might have been a major rift in Carthaginian society.
