It's not always accurate to a tee but the general idea of it all is. Plus the animations make it interesting, and it's not bogged down in super series music and a deep voiced narrator.If you want I could recommend you someSurehttps://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhyKYa0YJ_5Aq7g4bil7bnGi0A8gTsawuThere you go. If you wanted something in Roman times, choose the Punic Wars. If you want one on Japan, Sengoku Jidai is pretty cool on the characters he dives into, but the one he apparently put the most work into is Justinian and Theodora, which is basically the Eastern Roman Empire, after the West had fallen.The hidden bonus I enjoyed was The Broad Street Pump. It's about John Snow (I know) and how one man more or less changed how cities were built. It's a shame they don't teach this more in schools.this is pretty cool, thanks

I'm 11-hours in to a WWI podcast, and also planning to buy a dozen or so books on the subject. After that I'll probably jump into Napoleonic Wars stuff, even if that seems a bit backwards.It's all about finding something that you're interested in.

History Buffs and Alternate History Hub are also two youtube chanels you might check out.History Buffs gives reviews on films from a historical perspective.While Alternate History Hub doesn't strictly-speaking do actual history, he provides context in his videos that is valuable if you're looking to learn.Lindybeige might be another one you'd be interested in, since he does videos on a wide variety of historical topics and doesn't necessarily focus on warfare.

The thirty minute video on why human females evolved permanent breasts really just kinda cemented it.
