I messed something up in the editing/rendering, but whatever, this isn't an important one.

Obviously, a big thanks to History Matters for making such inspirational content in general, in addition to mentioning why he chose his art style - that he apparently cannot draw. Incidentally, I can draw - alright - but animation takes loooong. If anyone's pissed about that, I'll probably go onto another style soon enough when I've worked things out.
Also, I do NOT represent his view or position on anything.

If you don't already know, you must go to his channel, 'History Matters,' to see his content. Basically, it's a channel where people keep asking him to do things. Outside of that, he's probably one of the most credible of the history youtubers out there today. If you see a bunch of videos about a certain historical period and there are inconsistencies and discrepancies about certain details between the different videos, then History Matters' take on the detail is the one you should automatically believe. He doesn't just read a Wikipedia article out loud.

Go and subscribe. And you won't be a true fan unless you relentlessly badger him to continue with his English and British Ten Minute History series. At least until he makes the Glorious Revolution. Seriously, I recently binged historical videos in a chronological order from all across YouTube, and the Glorious Revolution is clearly so important. Up until the 1690s, history is more or less the history of various tribes extending and losing their dominance, then boom, what? Suddenly you recognise where the emerging city of 1690s London is. You acknowledge that it's yet to come along way to meet our standard of humanity, but the society is recognisable, relatable and familiar. The period is clearly significant and History Matters acknowledges that. In his rise of the Ottomans video, he uses William of Orange as an exemplary figurehead for what the modern period is. Also, Isaac Newton spent the second half of his life being a detective, sending counterfeiters to the gallows and being in charge of standardising the mint and the first Bank of England's currency. And that's a pretty significant institution. Locke is popular all of a sudden there too. A lot of coincidences and emergence around that time. What's going on there? And why isn't there a video about it from your boy?!
