Simple History

About
Simple History is a YouTube channel that makes animated educational history videos.

Frequent subjects include World war I and II, the Cold war and the Middle Ages. Videos go indepth about a certain event, piece of technology, or important icon in history.

This channel is different to other history channels on Youtube because of its unique approach to using animation. Because the format is cartoons rather than photo slideshows, it means that visual historical accuracy has to be thoroughly researched, in costumes, backgrounds and weapons. This means that episodes take a lot more work that your typical educational video.

The channel grew out of the ongoing Simple History books in 2014. It has since reached over a million subscribers as of 2018.
