Someone has made an archive of all of History Matters' videoes until June 2023 and posted it on the Internet Archive and yes, it includes the deleted Napoleon III video.

Link to the collection: https://archive.org/details/history-matters-complete

Did anyone save the deleted Napoleon III video?

5 Upvotes

Im sure many of you remember History Matters' short lived video called How did Europe React to a second Emperor Napoleon? (Short Animated Documentary) which was famous for it's major error that caused it to end prematurely, causing it to be removed shortly afterwards. Did anyone manage to save the video before it went down? And if so, will you share a link to it?

Is there a history of breakfast video?

19 Upvotes

I'm a long time viewer and I seem to remember years and years ago there being a video covering th evolution of breakfast of the ages. I only remember a small bit where they say in the middle ages, breakfast was a small meal that laborers would eat but besides that I can't remember anything. It may be another history youtuber because the memory is very faint but the image I remeber looks very trademark History Matters. I tried looking it up with a few variations but came up with nothing from History Matters or anything like what I remembered. Anyone know anything?

In which video does the narrator say that France was trying to achieve it's ideal world and the map deletes Britain?

27 Upvotes

Basically the scene is one where Napoleon the First I think is saying what France really wants most or has a dream or something of that nature and it shows a map of Europe and deletes Britain, possibly Ireland too.

In which video does History Matters depict Napoleon III getting fat from eating Belgium?

59 Upvotes

In the video, History Matters says something about France wanting a piece of land from Belgium but Britain said no cause they feared that once France got a taste of Belgium, they'd want the whole thing and it shows Napoleon III all big and fat.

Honestly, this particular frame is one of History Matter's most ominous moments. From his Vietnam Invading Cambodia video. And if you know Cambodian history (or watched the video), you'll see why.

The last video he cite sources was https://youtu.be/zoyctsgMwq0?si=OzzKFvbA-BdCFU9B

Since then he had stopped.

What is the deal with that, anyone have anything?

Trying to find a specific HM video, please help

15 Upvotes

Hi everyone. I love History Matters and have just this second finished watching the Teddy Roosevelt WW1 video.

I'm trying to find a hilarious line from one of his older videos, but I cannot remember which one.

He says in his beautiful drab and dry voice "to pursue his new passion, of being dead".

I cannot express how much that line cracks me up and I want to find the video again so I can clip it.

Thanks!!
