The "How about I don't" at 4:21 is one of my all-time favorite Oversimplified moments

I think we should share oversimplified videos in schools. Despite being oversimplified, he does give out a lot of good information, but not just that, he does it in an entertaining way. So when kids watch these vids, they get a good idea of what likely happened, and then, with this knowledge at hand, it can encourage them to study and know more of the intricate details.

Fun fact, despite the many treaties, Britain initially held off entering the war because it felt the continent wasn't it's business and it was fun being on its own. The ONLY treaty they took seriously was they promised to protect and honour Belgium's neutrality. Germany, having seen Britain not want to get involved, assumed that meant it wouldn't at all, and thus went through Belgium, and then did a gigantic OH CRAP when it realised that for once, Britain wasn't lying when it made a promise to someone.
Makes you wonder what would have happened had German not attacked through Belgium
