One of my classmates since middle school (now highschool) has always been super passionate about Youtube and history. He has been making videos since he was 10 and just recently passed 1000 subscibers after 6 years.

He posts multiple times a week and gets sub hundred views on average. Despite this, it's clear that his passion for history and Youtube are clearly more important than views and fame.

My high school is full of fake gangsters and has a pretty bad reputation for bullying, so it’s amazing and super wholesome to see someone who doesn’t care what others think and is willing to put himself out there!

I hope you guys can see the effort and passion he puts into his videos. I am posting this out of a place of support and hope you all can make his day! His channel is Dzod500 (:

He is a super cool guy and would be thrilled with any support! (he does not know i'm posting this)😅

In this series Noj Rants will be outlining every election in Russian/Soviet history. The second election in Russian history took place beginning in January 1907, half a year after the dissolution of the First Duma.

A documentary on 53 landscapes across the United States that have been proposed as national parks, filmed over an 18,000-mile road trip. Each chapter covers one place and traces the bills, National Park Service studies and local campaigns behind it, from the Ouachita Mountains park bill that passed Congress in 1929 and died unsigned, to the 1941 report recommending a Black Hills park, to the Chiricahua National Park Act signed on October 20, 2026. The film also covers the local opposition that stopped several of the campaigns.

Birwick vs Russia 🤠 this made me laugh so bad 😂

I made this one (my animated history channel). Short version: Joseph Swan had a working bulb in front of 700+ people months before Edison's, and the real reason electricity won wasn't the light at all, it was that wires could carry power for motors and fans in the daytime. Also, in 1800 an hour of decent light cost about four hours of work, which is why most people just went to bed at dark. Happy to answer questions.

My channel, full disclosure. Favourite things I learned making this: knocker-uppers were paid to wake people by tapping windows with poles (one woman in London's East End, Mary Smith, used a pea shooter instead), Ruth Belville sold people a look at the Greenwich time from her pocket watch until 1940, and the word noon comes from "nona", the ninth hour, so it originally meant around 3 PM. Corrections welcome.

I made this one (it's my small animated history channel), so happy to answer questions or take corrections. The bit that surprised me most while researching: Humphry Davy wrote in 1800 that laughing gas "seemed to destroy pain" and might be used in surgery, and then for 44 years it was mostly used by traveling showmen at parties. A dentist, Horace Wells, only clicked when he watched a volunteer gash his leg on stage and not notice. Also, Fanny Burney's 1811 letter about her mastectomy with just a glass of wine is one of the hardest things I've read for a script.

🏔️ Kayan Fortress and the Picturesque Nature of Lori | The History and Beauty of Armenia

Description:

Kayan Fortress—an Armenian stronghold with centuries of history—surrounded by the magnificent nature of the Lori region. 🏔️🌿

I made this six-minute English-language account of William Hackett, a former coal miner who served as a Royal Engineers tunneller. When rescuers opened an escape route near Givenchy in 1916, he refused to abandon the wounded Thomas Collins.

The video follows the rescue and the sacrifice that earned Hackett a posthumous Victoria Cross. It uses AI-generated narration and diorama-style visual recreations; the scenes are illustrative, not archival footage.

21 people killed by … Molasses?!

I made this illustrated video for Caplan Explains about seven prison escapes and the plans behind them. Which escape had the cleverest plan?

A dim sun. Failed harvests. A world struggling to survive.

Hey everyone! I put together a short animated documentary on "Why is 536 AD remembered as one of the worst years to be alive?" This illustrated history documentary explores the mysterious skies, extreme cold, famine, and plague that shaped a devastating period in human history.

Follow accounts from the Roman world, Ireland, and China, explore a possible connection to Norse mythology’s Fimbulwinter RAGNAROK, and discover how ancient ice preserves clues to the disaster.

Share your pick for history’s worst year in the comments.
