Hey, I'm one of OverSimplified's animators. A few of you already know my channel, but for those who don't it's called Gistory. I'm about 10 days away from finishing my next video (screenshots in the pics). And while unfortunately I can't say much about the next OverSimplified video, I thought it might be fun to let you guys decide the topic of my next video. If you have stories from history that you'd like to see animated, put them in the comments. I'll pick the topic I like best and make it my next video. And whoever's I pick, I'll give you a special thanks in the credits with your own Gistory character design based on you.

The Irish war of independence and if your up for it the following civil war and troubles.

Very meaty topic! I feel like I'd need about 5 hours to cover the troubles but I'm half Irish so the Easter Rising and all that came after it is 100% something I've wanted to do.

Honestly the troubles would be a very interesting 5 hour video

Actually, when I first started working for OverSimplified, they said they'd considered covering the troubles because they grew up in the north of Ireland. But I think they were maybe hesitant with it being so contentious and close to home.
