Dear Patrons,

Exciting news: we will be collaborating with YouTube channel Warhawk - specialists in early US military history - to create a one-off video on a topic to be chosen by YOU! 

We've come up with four options - the winner will go into production next week when the poll closes. Your choices are:

Battle of Little Bighorn 1876: In the untamed West, Colonel Custer’s 7th U.S. Cavalry makes a desperate stand against Native American forces led by Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse.

Battle of Belleau Wood 1918: The United States Marine Corps goes into action on the  Western Front, and is soon locked in bloody close-quarters fighting with the German army.

Battle of the Wabash 1791: Native Americans win their greatest ever victory over the United States in the hellish battle on the Wabash River, with no prisoners taken.

Battle of Tippecanoe 1811: Future U.S. President William Henry Harrison crushes Tecumseh’s Confederacy in the woodlands along the Tippecanoe River.

I look forward to sharing news of the winner next week! Meanwhile, work continues on our other projects - Battle of Eylau, top-secret naval project, and WW2. Updates soon, and thank you for supporting the channel.

I'd love to see more War of 1812 stuff, so voted for Tippecanoe. But Wasbash is a close second for me. So much on WW1 that'd I'd steer clear of that. As for Custer... Well...

Stuart Macrow

It's going to be a very close winner I think.

William Deere

This was the most difficult poll decision I've ever had to make. Looking forward to this collaboration!!

Hopefully Belleau Wood wins, it's certainly a battle in US history that is vastly overlooked, along with the events that followed which followed a series of conflicts and battles that prepared and tried the U.S Military on its climb to its height during the Second World War. Battles during various wars against the Native Americans, although interesting, should be revisited at a later date.

Robert Bridgewater

Damn haha whenever I see videos, Im like I hope there is a full campaign planned. But you guys put so much information even into one video you will have everything likely needed to understand each battle, so it works out no matter what.

Wabash is the only one I haven't heard of, since the rest have already been discussed on other historic channels.

Dan Jaggers

Those are all good choices to pick, and I have to say, I love the idea of one-off videos focusing on specific battles in history, whether a collab or single production. If this ends up becoming a regular thing overtime, it'd be a welcome addition to the channel.

Would like to see all done in the fullness of time, but as someone not American, Little Bighorn is a battle we hear about as a case of the plucky underdog taking it to the arrogant industrialist titan. However, we probably don’t understand the wider background to the battle (and I include myself) so would be interested in hearing that. Edit: Also, this is my first poll since becoming a patron. Looking forward to the outcome either way 😊

Andrew Herbst

I love the collabs as long as Mr Charles Nove is the narrator!!! But these are amazing options, and I concur with above statements about the one-off videos. You continue to hit topics that are less common, as I have said before-I am very thankful for this! Thanks for all your work!

I know they had french support but I still think of Battle of Monongahela as the greatest native American victory. Little Bighorn and Tippecanoe are fascinating battles but I'm going with Wabash.

Justin Bailey

Custer’s last stand at Little Bighorn would be epic!

Aaron Hernandez

Wow what an amazing list of choices. Whichever wins we all truly win Cheers!

Stuart Carver

All of them one per year in chronological order? 👀

Gage Hardesty

Honestly I've never heard of any of these topics before but I just went for the one that had the most votes so yeah it's pretty indecisive for this one

PastInNumbers

Honestly anyone of these will appease the American fervor
