Dear Patrons,

Welcome to Epic History newsletter number 23! We've been hard at work on multiple projects, so here's a roundup of the latest news and updates...

Production updates

American Revolution Episode 1

This is getting its final touches and is scheduled for Patreon release this weekend! Our first episode is full of politics, protest and outright rebellion. Here's a few sneak peeks ahead of the premiere... look out for the email notification this weekend.

Rise of China Episode 2

Episode 2 of our epic history of 20th century China is coming to Patreon in just a couple of weeks. This episodes covers the tumult and conflict of the 1920s and '30s, a time of shifting alliances, the rising influence of the Chinese Communist Party, and the dominance of Chiang Kai-Shek. Thanks again to the Patreon supporters who have been providing assistance with Chinese translations and pronunciations!

World War Two

Progress continues - more slowly - on WW2. For the moment we are prioritising our other series, and it's fair to say - this one is a big beast. We're not just covering the war, on all fronts, but most of the 1930s build-up too! So some patience may be required, but rest assured, we are working very hard. A few early peeks...

ULTRA - Cracking the German codes

Newsletter readers will know that last summer, the Epic History team had a splendid trip to Bletchley Park, the British WW2 codebreaking centre (where Charles's mum worked as a translator). I am now delighted to announce that we will be making a short series about Bletchley Park, that covers Allied codebreaking, the Enigma machine and the vital role played by ULTRA intelligence in WW2. Even better, the series will be produced by James Malcolm, who created our fantastic Apollo Program series, and the 3D shots for our HMS Victory series. That means this series is going to feature stunning 3D shots and first-class art direction. I'm already struggling to tell the difference between his preview renders and the real thing...

One Cool History Thing

The world's oldest know chess pieces, spotted on a recent EH trip to the British Museum. The pieces are made of ivory and were found in Samarkand, now in Uzbekistan. They were made around 700 AD, probably in India...

Ask Me Anything

A quick reminder to all Patreon supporters that we have an 'Ask Me Anything' community chat, which is available to anyone in the 'Patron of the Arts' tier and above. There's already been dozens of questions and it's been fantastic to have a chance to speak to some of you directly. So if you have a burning question about any of our series or how we make them, make sure you get involved!

That's everything for this week. Keen-eyed observers will notice it's been four weeks since our last newsletter, rather than two - we're now going to stick to a monthly newsletter schedule. We want to ensure that we focus on creating content and aren't spamming you when there are fewer production updates to give. Of course, if there is any big news between newsletters, Patreon supporters will always be the first to know!

Thank you for your continued support - we'll be back with another newsletter in March!

Good to hear that we'll be seeing Ep.1 of American Revolution....

SCL

Will Charles Nove be doing the commentary for the American Revolution? I didn't mind the other voice for the previous United States content but for me Charles is the voice of this channel. The way he narrates is really second to none! I am really looking forward to all the content coming this year!

BP Gaming 175

Thanks a lot! Also a cool fun fact to add when you get to Yorktown: One of Rochambeau’s Aide-de-camp was a young officer named Louis-Alexandre Berthier, who would later become one of Napoleons Marshals.

Andrew Herbst

I like the bi-weekly newsletters but I understand switching to monthly! Better to focus on the video production than too much on writing news.

Richard Fernandes

Welcome back! It felt like a long time ago since the last time! Thank You very much for your Quality Job as always and for keeping Us up to date! Looking forward for the next release. Cheers EH Team 🍷

Fraser Whyte

I'm quite excited for the American revolution, should promise to be an interesting series

Geng Li

American Revolution is Great History Topics despite I love the Napoleon's series the best

Flint and Ball

I ditto the question and view regarding Charles and this channel.

Arcturus

hello! I was wondering if you would consider doing a series on Canadian history or the Franco-Prussian war in the future? i know very little about those two and I think it would be a really cool series!

Tristan Nagel

When do you think you'll be finished with WW2?

EpicHistoryTV

Hi Arcturus! Unfortunately we don't have plans for series on either of those two topics - for the Franco-Prussian War, I would recommend the series by our friends at Real Time History. Canadian history - it will feature in various other projects, but no dedicated series planned atm.

EpicHistoryTV

The whole thing? Hmm not till 2026 probably! But I hope to have Episode 1 finished in about 4 weeks.

Dhruv Gokhale

man there is a slight correction in the map of india. please correct it

Dhruv Gokhale

the borders of the islamic hindu states were on the eastern side of the punjab region and the borders of the shah of afghanistan occupied punjab

EpicHistoryTV

Ok, we'll take a look. Curious to know how you are watching our Patreon premieres as you don't seem to be a paying member?

Pedrobarra 10

Do you have any plans to make a series on the independence of Latin American country like Mexico the future (probably far as you seem to have already a lot on your hands)??

Dhruv Gokhale

No I just saw the preview. I was able to spot it in the 30 seconds preview which is available

EpicHistoryTV

Nothing imminent, but we have been having some long-range discussions about some Central / Latin American history.. stay tuned.

Mohammed Alsaadoon

Honestly, I'm not too excited about WW2. It's one of the most well discussed topics anywhere and I'm worried it will consume so much resources to produce. Still, I'm intrigued about how the videos will turn out. The WW1 videos are a great resource for getting someone unaware up to speed on the topic.

Dhruv Gokhale

when is the american revolution coming on YT?

EpicHistoryTV

That's the aim - to create a comprehensive, authoritative yet accessible primer on the topic, for a global audience. There is a lot of WW2 content out there, but I'm hoping this will be a distinctive contribution.

Alessandro Tassan Din

a video on the rise and fall of the Medici family would be insane

Alessandro Tassan Din

it would be combining my favourite history channel with my favourite period of time in history

EpicHistoryTV

The Medici family would be a great topic - perhaps one day!

Silas Martin

American revolution episode 1 was amazing-production quality was superb. Will the episodes on the Qing dynasty be made available on YT?

Ethan Venter

First thank you for everything you guys do, I’ll ask again on the upcoming news letter but I think it would be really cool if you guys made flags for the Merch store, like a French Corps Flag, or other Standards

Tristan Nagel

When will the second part of the American revolution come? on yt

EpicHistoryTV

Thanks Ethan! It's a great idea, but flags are beyond our merch capabilities at the moment!

EpicHistoryTV

Thanks Silas! Rise of China series will launch on YT 4 April.

Gaius Julius Caesar

What was the soundtrack in the History of Russia - Rurik to Revolution starting at 44:00? Thanks

Geraint Thatcher

Fun connection for the American Revolution and French Revolution is that A George Washington Laffeyete served as a staff officer to Grouchy. He was Laffeyetes son

Geraint Thatcher

On the retreat from Concord British Soldiers found a dead Soldier scalped by the Americans which enraged them

EpicHistoryTV

Hello - this track is Viking by Joseph Heath. It's from Filmstro, but also featured on the '1848 Revolutions', 'Napoleon Endgame: France 1814' and 'Napoleon in Italy: Rivoli' scores that have been published on Patreon for those in the 'Lords and Ladies' tier or above.

Dhruv Gokhale

do you use photoshop for making the maps? kindly tell.
