Dear Patrons, 

Thank you to everyone who got involved with our two recent polls, which delivered two emphatic winners - 1848: Year of Revolutions, and Belisarius. I'm looking forward to getting stuck into both, alongside ongoing production of our HMS Victory and Salamis videos. 

(NB many of the poll losers will appear again as future options, and a couple will be subject to executive 'green light' decisions!) 

In other news, I've put together some compilation videos (not charged to patrons). They'll be released on YouTube over the next few weeks, but for the next few days, they're available exclusively and completely ad-free to Patreon viewers:

World War One (ALL PARTS) (2021 Re-edit)  A 2016 release that YouTube demonetized and age-restricted a few years ago, for no clear reason. Hopefully this re-edit will keep it available to all ages, so it can be the educational resource it was intended to be.

The Napoleonic Wars (PARTS 7-15)  The longest Napoleon video on YouTube?! The aftermath of Wagram to the Fontainebleau abdication in 3 hours 24 minutes. 

Apollo Program (ALL PARTS) James Malcolm's brilliantly researched and visualised Apollo series.

More updates in due course, and thank you all for your amazing support!

Toby

Thank you! I Can't wait for all of it! Especially looking forward to your Napoleon parts 7 - 15 and to the Belisarius one!

EpicHistoryTV

You don't have to wait for Napoleon Parts 7-15 - the video link is in the post!

Gordian III

Ops just realized. Thank you!

Stuart Carver

7-15? You have 16 videos not 15 why not include the Waterloo video it is part of the napoleonic wars many people learning this for the first time would finish part 15 and not realise there’s more? Can’t wait for Apollo plus all the new videos keep up the good work. I should point out then that you have the sinking of HMS Hampshire wrong in the current one as it’s show sinking of Shetland instead of Orkney

EpicHistoryTV

Thank you! Waterloo is a much earlier visual style, it doesn't sit comfortably in this new compilation. Thank you for the HMS Hampshire reminder, but I already had a note of it!

Stuart Carver

Haha that was possibly a hint for in update 😉 what new videos likely to hit first? Ah cool you’re way ahead of me there then.

Did you ever try to appeal the age restriction on the ww1 video? Because the individual year videos are fine, so i don’t understand why YouTube would age restrict it at all. It’s history!

EpicHistoryTV

I certainly did appeal. Unfortunately YouTube don't explain or respond to appeals, you just get a decision.

Dan Jaggers

Yeah it's annoying how Youtube has been locking videos away behind age restrictions for whatever reasons, but yeah it's about time we got the full compliation of the WW1 series. I'm really looking forward to the upcoming videos, especially Belisarius since he isn't as well known as other famous generals, but he certainly is among the best who ever lived. The 1848 video is going to be a real interesting one too, it was a catalyst for permenant change in Europe, the beginnings of the unification of Italy and Germany as modern nations, and for France, a relative of a certain former Emperor would take power.

In the WW1 compilation, I've never found out the name of the track that plays during the end of 1916 when explaining the changes in leadership, what is it called?

Hey Toby, just a small nitpick.... but in that Napoleon Wars (Parts 7-15) video, I sorta felt that the Vitoria segment should had been before the "Road to Leipzig" segment. This is because during the "Road to Leipzig" portion, Wellington's army is already being displayed right at the Southern France border, and Napoleon's army converging on Leipzig. As if the Battle of Vitoria had already finished. Then upon transitioning from the "Road to Leipzig" portion to Vitoria , Napoleon's army is shown marching from France to Germany, instead of already clustering around Leipzig like at the end of the "Road to Leipzig" portion. So yea I felt that the Vitoria portion should had come just before the "Road to Leipzig" video segment, rather than after it. Just a nitpick haha. Thank you so much for your work once again!

EpicHistoryTV

Hi, it's called 'Epic War Music Theme' from Audio Blocks. An old, reliable track.

EpicHistoryTV

Thanks Astrá. It was always going to be a slightly awkward fit, with a bit of jumping around the timeline. It's a fair argument, but I decided that 'Road to Leipzig', which begins with so much information about the aftermath of Russia, had to come before a high summer campaign in Spain.

Astra Solace

Understood, and on another note, I am just happy that I can now share your full WW1 video too without the stupid Youtube warning. Haha

Adam Burchett

That World War I timeline you did was such a great video I had to become a supporter. I hope to see more from WWI and WWII would also be great. You have fantastic content regardless of the topic. Cheers.

EpicHistoryTV

Thanks Adam, great to have your support! We'll have more votes coming up in the future, and I'm sure there'll be some WW2 at some point..
