Almost three years ago, we launched Extra History as its own show and talked about World War I. In that first episode, we talked about Otto von Bismarck and unification of the German state, and we mentioned that he deserved an episode to himself.

Now, thanks to the voters on Patreon, he will finally get that episode... and more besides! Bismarck ran away with the votes and will get his own series starting in the fall of 2017.

Current Schedule: Articles of Confederation --> Bronze Age Collapse --> Great Northern War --> Otto von Bismarck

Who comes up with all these great series names? :D

This one was actually David, waaay back in the very first episode! He wrote it as a joke and we've sort of stuck with it internally ever since. ;)

Marco Honrade

Wow has it really been that long. Third time's the charm. Even better that he won with the highest approval rating in Extra Credits history at 72%, not even the second highest comes close, the First Opium War at 65%. As well as this is perfect timing as this would air in late September/early October, three years after the WW1 episodes. Great series to mark your third anniversary.

The man who fooled the world by telling the truth, the warlord who became the biggest peace keeper in history, the man who learned from the mistakes of other, the man whose map of Africa was in Europe, the man who mastered the art of the possible, the myth, the legend the Iron Chancellor himself!!! Been hoping for this one for a good long while! So excited!

Martin Verran

YAAAAAAAAAYYY!!! For the Second Time, something I Voted for has actually Won! Ok Otto wasn't my First choice but he still won, so who cares? It seems all I normally get out of these polls is angry and frustrated after so many tries, but thank goodness that's been avoided this Time. Really looking Forward to this.

Oooh! Nice stats, Marco! I haven't been keeping track of approval rating for past votes, but Bismarck definitely ran away with this one.

Martin Verran

I've yet to encounter an Extra History Series I didn't like. I'm still resentful that Alexander lost to the Great Northern War last Time [Walpole must've rigged the Vote again.] but now that that Topic and Otto Von Bismarck are out of the way, and assuming that no more silly 'Factions' form, Alexander and Rasputin'll have a much better chance of winning the next Time they appear on the Poll.

Sean Sarff

Sean finally won a poll! Oh man...spoiler alert, everyone knows how his career ends!

Hurrah!

Yup. I'm afraid I didn't submit any of your ideas for the next raffle though Martin, I went with the 7 years war.

Martin Verran

I suppose we'll find out if anyone did submit any the next Time there is a Raffle. I was curious because of a Comment you posted earlier when you said: "Oil because it's fascinating. Bismark because we've been waiting for extra Bismark since the WWI series. Lets see what happens!" which made me wonder if you'd suggested the Oil idea. I keep meaning to update to $8 but I never get round to it. The 7 Years War would certainly be very interesting as I Think it isn't studied much anymore here in Europe.

Nessf

Ahh. Well - none of the ideas I suggested have come up yet. But that's fine, other interesting things come up instead. ^_^

Marc Paris

Cool Bismarck is worth a series. Can I suggest a future topic. "The 30 years war and the peace of Westphalia "

ExtraCredits

You can suggest a topic at the $8+ patron level, or if any patrons at that level see your suggestion here, they're welcome to adopt it!

Tay-tech

What should we be looking for to see where we can suggest topics? (New to this whole patreon UI deal)

ExtraCredits

Once a month, I'll put up a post for the $8+ patrons inviting them to send their suggestions through a Google Form. That post hasn't gone up yet for this month, so look for it in another week, maybe two! They tend to be towards the end of the month OR at the end of a series (i.e. last episode of Articles of Confederation).

ExtraCredits

Oh, and Patreon will email you when that post goes up letting you know your reward is ready. It never hurts to check the page around the times when you're expecting your reward, just to make sure nothing gets lost in your inbox, but in theory you'll get that notification!
