I will make mistakes in my videos, the hope is is that if I provide transparency to my research process and sources, people can make up their own minds after the fact.
I’m always trying to make my coverage more accurate, but due to the scope of some projects and my emphasis on densely packed scripts with lots of sources some corner cutting is sometimes inevitable to meet deadlines.
I hope once this channel grows to a sustainable point I can take more time with videos than the usual 45 days.
Btw, the name IMPERIAL just comes from when I used to play Skyrim - it definitely is not an endorsement of imperialism lmao.

The King of Bavaria, a state in Southern Germany, was mysteriously found dead in a lake just days after he was declared mad by the Bavarian government. What happened to the Bavarian King? What happened to Ludwig II?

Turkey's Earthquakes: The Cost of Ignoring the Past

Little over a month ago, a 7.8 Magnitude earthquake struck the city of Kahramanmaraş in Southern Turkey, it was a devastating event. But it was not the first of its kind in Turkey, far from it, and its severity reflects a decades long problem within Turkish politics and its construction culture. This video intends to dissect these problems. I'd like to thank Professor Polat Gülkan for his parti...
The Largest Megaproject in History

The Trans-Siberian railway, at least to me, has always been an enigmatic topic in the sphere of Russian history. It's very famous today, but I have seen virtually no coverage of its origins and history outside of a Wikipedia article or two. Needless to say, Wikipedia isn't exactly a very thorough or extensive source. Considering its cultural clout and fame, I thought that this was a particularl...

I first encountered this topic while visiting Madrid in 2020, when a certain widespread phenomenon had caused most tourists to shy away from travel. It was during this time that I visited the Reina Sofia and laid eyes upon Picasso's Guernica.

Nearly 500 years ago Rome experienced one of the most brutal sacks since that of the 5th century siege of Rome by the Visigoths. It was brutal, chaotic, and memorable - still today the event remains a mainstay in Italian history, popular culture and historical intrigue. From the death of a French Duke to the last stand of the Swiss Guard, the 1527 Sack of Rome is a fascinating story of brutalit...

How Orbán Uses History to His Advantage
“The racist mobs that formed to run random people out of town because their ethnicity weren’t inherently evil” is a very concerning stance to take. That’s the kind of thing that the right uses to justify genociding arabs in Palestine right now, because, “Well we’re just afraid of their kind after 9/11!”
Subscribed. You’re telling stories that are not often told. Very interesting stuff. The graphics and presentation are very cool. Keep it going, sir.
I worked for them.always scheming,and lies.
You're ability to do this topic justice without taking sides is admirable. I think there was only one just cause in all of this, but I still admire how you didn't allow this video to fall down the hole of choosing one sides argument over the other made it a much more informative watch.
Switzerland doesn't have any national heroes? But what about DJ Bobo?!
Imagine being able to build to build one of the worlds most iconic castles for $50mil in todays world
I was in Albanian 2 years back brilliant a bit highly strung but I’m Irish and didn’t notice Albanian people are fun
am i the only one who saw sleepnessness instead of sleeplessness lol.
Why is every "Classless society" full of closed off upper class neighborhoods.
Until recently it was also HUGE. The last generation was massive and didnt fit in anyone's wallet
This one-sided video is a bunch of pro Communist, anti Christian garbage. Talk to the older generations of Spaniards and you’ll see that they were thankful to Franco for not losing their Spanish culture and strong Catholic faith to the atheist Communists…
Indeed Pinochet was slightly worse for the country than Allende. But not much.
Its amazing the amount of forensics they were able to accomplish in the 1880's
Clicking on it HOPING it's about Ludwig the IInd. PLEASE let it be about Ludwig the IInd
YOOOOOOOOO POGGERS, POGGING SO HARD
> Swiss tend to paper money due to suspicion of credit. I can't say whether the Swiss are suspicious of credit, but I can say that paper money has been long on the way out for a long time for casual transactions with debit and credit payment instruments. I'd never describe Switzerland (in the ten years I've lived there) as being paper cash-loving either (compared to, say, Germany). The pay-by-electronic-transfer mechanism (Überweisung) is just so consistently ubiquitous.
I have a shirt with his face on it
Thought this is a fern's video for a sec when I didn't realize which channel it was because autoplay lol
I thought it said the IRS's war on london 😂
it’s a tragedy; two lives lost because the psychiatrist put politics over his medical duties, and the king was an overgrown child if they both acted how they should have it never would have happened
I love your work! Could you make a video about the history of the Cyprus Problem???
You make ads very entertaining.
Correction: Wlhelm Tell is on the 5 CHF coin to this very day.
ayo Idaho Falls
Hapsburgs at it again.
What have the Hapsburgs got to do with anything?
@@gubgub3275 just sounded like their MO.
@@AuthoritativeNewsNetwork Riiiiiiiiight...
@@gubgub3275 Look at maps of Habsburg imperial territory from 1282 to 1556. They do that with *one weird trick* which is they marry into a royal family and then betray and murder and bribe whoever it takes until THEIR guy is the one who takes over the throne. Now in this instance I was making a throw away comment. Spurred on by the fact his brother was declared insane and then died, then he was declared insane and then died.
I love your narrative style and, fittingly enough, the aesthetics of your animations and storytelling graphics. My algo knows me well! Easy sub, great stuff my dude!
Tell us about life in Albania but drop the anti communist political propaganda. You think that you are spicing up the video, but you become repetitive.
Deep in the minds of this right-wing government, there is an Islamic concept of fate or destiny that precludes any kind of preventive action against earthquakes or other natural disasters.
Wow this production quality is insane
I love your models, they look so cute
Thanks so much, absolutely great video. I really learned a lot. By the way, incredible editing.
It reminds me of some candy bars, like Schogetten.
I was living in a high-rise in Dalton in April 1992 when that Baltic exchange bomb went off. Miles away. Our windows shook, we could see the blinds flapping out of the windows at the bomb site.. Also heard the Motorway bomb. And was standing next to a bomb planted St Martins in the Fields church (!!! )at a performance of the Messiah just before Christmas, the night of the Harrods bomb (we were evacuated and it was defused- there were so many bomb/police vehicles racing around that night). And in a cinema at a random time. And so 'bomb delays' on the Tube. We emigrated in June.
an atrocity is taking place The USA = not my problem buddy Israel has been mentioned The Usa = WHERE ARE THEYY
The real mystery is who is throwing these 'spectacle-like' youtube essay ANIMATIONS. Everyone has them now. I mean how much of this has been procedurally generated? Is war thunder behind this?
Go outside
What weird, you guys are weird! 😅Best country in the world in every respect! No one can hold a candle to us!
Rest in peace Ludwig
I was trying to fix my headphones so the first line i actually heard was how Ludwig was obliterated by a time traveling tank. 10/10 content.
Does anyone know the name of the music that plays at 20:47? It’s so beautiful
Really compelling video. I really liked the small amount of profanity when describing war thunder. Great visuals.
Oh ...
It wasn't until the plane jacking part did I remember I heard about these terries from Mentour Pilot.
Kind of inaccurate to describe Albania & Nth Korea as Marxist/Leninist. This is because Stalin created his own ideology of Stalinism. Hoxha & Kim were both adherents of Stalinism. In addition, it's totally inaccurate to describe what Lenin put in place as Marxism. If you read Marx, Marx saw the transition from capitalism occuring at the ballot box, not as a result of civil war.
21:41 "casualties" refers to the combined dead AND injured, and since you're a research channel I thought you should know the difference going forward. So the casualty count for this is 10, with 4 killed (pilot and 3 hijackers) and 6 injured. It's not mentioned if the 4th hijacker is injured or not
Thirty years that "Dirty little war" went on for. 3,500 dead and about 47,000 injured, many seriously. And for what? Did the Provos really think that the Brits would agree to their demands by terrorism? They obviously knew nothing about that country's character. Thank God that it is (mainly) all over now. 🙏
Check out Gabriel Knight 2: The Beast Within, a PC game based on the mystery surrounding Ludwig's death.
I’ve been in that place! Very impressive.
In the end, it is just plain cash, fiat currency. It won't yield interest, depreciating over time. With that CHF 1000 deposited or invested, one could get a good return rate.
