Of all of Americas wars, the war of 1812 was certainly one of them. Starting from a dispute over unlawful conscription and trade regulation, things quickly spiralled out of control and ended up with Americans attempting to conquer Canada, and the British burning the Whitehouse.
Notes an Disclaimers:
1.There is no flag real national flag for Tecumseh's confederacy, the one I have used was found on Reddit
2. I have Used the NATO symbol for an "Army" for the majority of the units shown in the video, this is in no way representative of how many troops where involved in a battle.
Thank you to all who helped me in the recording process of this video, and to my Lithuanian friend who laid down his 15 munities of watching a Ryan Gosling film to help me record. Special thanks also goes to Denis Champoux (Link to his channel: https://www.youtube.com/@UCds7GsimKaFYHhJBa1icrjQ ) for allowing me to use his cover of "The Battle of New Orleans" in this video.

The winter war was a chaotic Time for Finland, and by far the defining moment in their history as they stood strong while heavily outnumbered against the Soviet union.
Note: A lot of the music used in this video is from the continuation war, not the winter war thus it is a slight anachronism. I have used it simply because it is good.

How the UKRAINE war started
In 2014, the Russian Federation marched into the Crimean peninsula in Ukraine during a very politically tumultuous time for both countries. In this video I try to explain these events in a humorous and slightly eccentric manner.
