The vid: "Kobe, Japan"
Me: "wait..what"

My Great Grandfather met him in Penang in one of his tours.

So Sun Yat-Sen, fed up with the corrupt dynasty selling out to colonialists like England wanted to… overthrow the dynasty to revolutionize rule to an English system, and was using English support for that purpose… I don't know for whom is this more embarrassing: the Chinese revolutionary or the English…

Just love The Little Oddish

First time watching your videos. First, great videos, very educational and entertaining. Second, I love the hidden pokémon everywhere.

It’s the lesser known people such as the maids and servants that Sun convinced to help him that change history

It’s a shame the reality.

Now we just need to do this in America

Finally my Country is In AN Extra hsitory ePiSODe EEEEEEEE

Where is part 3 Extra Credits?

0:40 Lou ain’t no snitch

This beer's for you, Lu Hao Dong. Massive respect for what you did, risking your life to save so many others by burning that book. And even after they tortured you, you didn't spill the beans.

Put simply, there are some cultures out there that would deify a man for what you did.

The best part is when oddish appeared on the art

once you've felt that kick of leading an uprising you gotta go back for a second or third crack at it until final victory ;D

He fell for one of the classic blunders: Never get involved in a land war in Asia

10:01 oddish used pot

If I was him I would have killed the housekeeper who collects the money and throws the note

Why are there so many Pokemon references in one video???

Awhe, there’s a little oddish

10:12 the wave of kanagawa?

Just In another Version: housekeeper was a man, firstly he reported Sun asks him to deliver the letter to the Qing ambassador, then helped Sun until Sun gave him 20 quids and promised him 400 more after he escaped. And… Sun really gave him 400 pounds after.

Kobe? That part must be really accurate.

COMMIES

Did anyone notice the Pikachu

i want this movie

I don’t think the British know how this works; the Qing were operating on their own soil, soil which Sun had stepped on willingly and they had no right to prevent the Chinese from arresting him!

Pikach is in the news

The day an English housekeeper changed the fate of the China.

Sometimes, real life is much more dramatic than drama

New creature found on newspaper with a drawing of pikachu 8:30

Sun is not a chinese hero, he is a traitor. A foreign educated rebel, with a foreign religion, cohorting with China’s enemies at the time (Britain and Japan)

"Corruption and Incompetence" seems to be the red thread running through every single ethically unfavourable event in human history.

5:00 what is the gold and red pin the old man is wearing?

These are some cute, adorable murderers. I like how even the most bloody events in history are presented so cutely in this channel.
