Franz Ferdinand

**Archduke Franz Ferdinand Carl Ludwig Joseph Maria of Austria**, known as **Archduke Franz Ferdinand**, was the heir presumptive to the throne of Austria-Hungary.

## Biography

Franz Ferdinand was born in Graz, Austria on December 18, 1863, and he became the heir presumptive to the Austro-Hungarian throne in 1896. On June 28, 1914, Archduke Ferdinand and his wife Sophie were visiting Sarajevo, the provincial capital of Bosnia, which at the time had been annexed by Austria-Hungary. A Serbian nationalist group known as the Black Hand plotted to assassinate the Archduke whilst he was being driven through Sarajevo in a car with the top down. The first attempt of throwing a bomb at his car failed. Later, after coming out of hiding, Archduke Ferdinand insisted to be taken to the hospital to visit the wounded officers. The driver accidentally made a wrong turn, and ended up stalling the car in front of a café, where Serbian nationalist and assassin Gavrilo Princip happened to be standing. Princip shot both Archduke Ferdinand and Sophie at point-blank range, killing them both. The assassination of Franz Ferdinand was the most immediate cause of World War I.

## Trivia

* He is one of the few characters that does not have an OverSimplified model, and possibly the only character who isn't even given a stickfigure body.
* In his first appearance in WW1 (Part 1), both Archduke Ferdinand and his wife Sophie appear only as a png of a real-life photograph of the couple; they are then inserted into a png image of the car that Ferdinand has been shot in.
* Much later, when Ferdinand appears again in The Russian Revolution (Part 2) once again for his assassination, he and Sophie are still only portrayed in the form of a still image. (most likely to pay homage to OverSimplified's first ever scene in his first ever video)

**Francis II** was the first emperor of Austria and the last emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. He fought on the side of the Coalition against Napoleon in the Napoleonic Wars.

## Biography

Francis II was born on February 12, 1768. He became Holy Roman Emperor and Archduke of Austria when he was only 24 years old. During the Napoleonic Wars and the French Revolution, he led Austria into several defeats against Napoleon and his forces, most notably at the Battle of Austerlitz and Napoleon's campaigns in Italy. He signed several treaties, which ultimately led to the decline of his influence and the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire in 1806. Francis II and Napoleon agreed in 1810 for his daughter, Marie Louise, to marry Napoleon, despite the French emperor already having another wife. They did this so Napoleon could have a male heir as his previous wife, Joséphine, was too old to give him one. The marriage of Marie Louise to Napoleon allowed Francis II to secure an alliance with France. Despite this, Austria declared neutrality, and the coalition quickly fell apart. In 1813, Francis II attempted to mediate a peace treaty between France and the Coalition, but they quickly rejected his demands for significant concessions to the French emperor. Napoleon’s rejection of his requests led him to join the War of the Sixth Coalition against France, ultimately winning a decisive victory at the Battle of Leipzig. After Napoleon's return from exile, Austria was quick to jump into the fray, joining the Seventh Coalition and defeating Napoleon. After the Napoleonic Wars, Francis II took part in the Congress of Vienna from 1814 to 1815 and began the Concert of Europe. Francis II died on May 2, 1835, at the age of 67.

## Trivia

* A running gag of him in Oversimplified was pooping his pants whenever he was scared.

It played a major role in the fur trade in Canada and was once known for being the largest seller of beaver in the entire world. During the height of its power, it owned land from the Hudson Bay right to the Pacific Ocean called Rupert's Land. By the late 19th century, the company lost all of its lands after selling it to Canada as part of the Deed of Surrender; an order that oversaw the transferring of the Hudson Bay Drainiage Basin (Rupert's Land) to the newly formed Dominion of Canada. Besides fur, the HBC also sold products such as furniture and fine homeware. During the 1850's, the HBC was involved in the Pig War with the United States and is partially responsible for starting the conflict due to their obsession with Beaver, which was mostly found in the Columbia River located in the disputed Oregon Territory.

**Harry S. Truman** was the thirty-third president of the United States.

## Biography

Harry S. Truman was born on May 8, 1884. He grew up in Independence, Missouri. During WW1, Truman was sent to France as a captain in the Field Artillery. Returning home, he opened a haberdashery in Kansas City, Missouri, and was later elected as a Jackson County official in 1922. Truman was elected to the United States Senate from Missouri in 1934 and gained national prominence as chairman of the Truman Committee aimed at reducing waste and inefficiency in wartime contracts. After the death of Franklin D. Roosevelt, Truman became the president of the nation. He authorized the first and only use of nuclear weapons in war. Truman's administration engaged in an internationalist foreign policy and renounced isolationism. He rallied his New Deal coalition during the 1948 presidential election and won a surprise victory that secured his own presidential term. After the onset of the Cold War, Truman oversaw the Berlin Airlift and Marshall Plan in 1948. When North Korea invaded South Korea in 1950, he gained United Nations approval to intervene in what became known as the Korean War. On domestic issues, bills endorsed by Truman faced opposition from a conservative Congress, but his administration successfully guided the U.S. economy through the post-war economic challenges. In 1948, he submitted the first comprehensive civil rights legislation and issued Executive Order 9981 to start racial integration in the military and federal agencies. Harry S. Truman died on December 26, 1972.

**Alexander I** was the Tsar of the Russian Empire from 1801 to 1825. He fought on the side of the Coalition against Napoleon in the The Napoleonic Wars. His assistant was Dmitry Senyavin.

## Early Life

Alexander was born on 23 December 1777 in Saint Petersburg, and he and his younger brother Constantine were raised by their grandmother, Catherine. Some sources allege that she planned to remove her son (Alexander's father) Paul I from the succession altogether. From the free-thinking atmosphere of the court of Catherine and his Swiss tutor, Frédéric-César de La Harpe, he imbibed the principles of Rousseau's gospel of humanity. But from his military governor, Nikolay Saltykov, he imbibed the traditions of Russian autocracy. Andrey Afanasyevich Samborsky, whom his grandmother chose for his religious instruction, was an atypical, unbearded Orthodox priest. Samborsky had long lived in England and taught Alexander (and Constantine) excellent English, very uncommon for potential Russian autocrats at the time.

On 9 October 1793, when Alexander was still 15 years old, he married 14-year-old Princess Louise of Baden, who took the name Elizabeth Alexeievna. His grandmother was the one who presided over his marriage to the young princess. Until his grandmother's death, he was constantly walking the line of allegiance between his grandmother and his father. His steward Nikolai Saltykov helped him navigate the political landscape, engendering dislike for his grandmother and dread in dealing with his father[*citation needed*].

Catherine had the Alexander Palace built for the couple. This did nothing to help his relationship with her, as Catherine would go out of her way to amuse them with dancing and parties, which annoyed his wife. Living at the palace also put pressure on him to perform as a husband, though he felt only a brother's love for the Grand Duchess. He began to sympathize more with his father, as he saw visiting his father's fiefdom at Gatchina as a relief from the ostentatious court of the empress. There, they wore simple Prussian military uniforms, instead of the gaudy clothing popular at the French court they had to wear when visiting Catherine. Even so, visiting the tsarevich did not come without a bit of travail. Paul liked to have his guests perform military drills, which he also pushed upon his sons Alexander and Constantine. He was also prone to fits of temper, and he often went into fits of rage when events did not go his way.

**Carthage** was a city-state that appeared in the First Punic War. It was based in modern-day Tunisia and was an important trading empire. Founded by the Phoenicians in the ninth century BC, the Romans destroyed the city in 146 BC.

## History

The specific date of when Carthage is founded is unknown, but is mostly placed at 814 B.C. It was erected by Phoenician colonists, who were expert in seafaring and trading. According to legend, Queen Dido managed to acquire a land from a local Berber chief by using her intelligence to her advantage. This land would later become Carthage.

To facilitate their ventures, Phoenicians built a bunch of trading colonies and outposts along the Mediterranean Sea. Phoenician cities in their homeland are sadly sacked by invaders, such as the Achaemenids and Macedonians, which forced the survivors of this sacked cities to take refuge in other Phoenician colonies, such as Carthage. This contributed to their growth and began eyeing the idea of expansion. Carthage's success is thanks to its key position, good climate, lucrative trade routes and arable land.

## Trivia

* Carthaginians are also called Phoenicians, which in Latin is Punic, hence the name of the **Punic** Wars.

**Charles Griffin** is an Irishman settler and farmer who had a prominent role in the Pig War episode.

## Biography

Born in Ireland. He was sent by Governor James Douglas, along with a couple Hawaiian shepherds, to settle in the disputed island of San Juan. During his settlement in the island, a totally mentally stable American customs inspector and his assistant went ashore to interrogate Griffin's sheep, ending with a bleating match. After the incident, to give Griffin legal power to deal with the issue, Douglas crowned him as a magistrate. Griffin, in turn, turned one of his Hawaiian shepherds, a constable. They then set off to arrest the customs collector, which was "trespassing" on British territory, which failed due to the very stable inspector pulling out four pistols and a large knife to drive them off. Later on, he told one Sheriff Barnes of Whatcom County after an attempt to get him to pay $80.33. After that interaction with Barnes, he lost 34 breeding rams to "trespassing" Whatcom County officials, who were auctioning said rams to themselves, as a payment of sorts. He then had an interaction with American settler, Lyman Cutler, about his pig and Cutler's potatoes, which he allegedly said, "It is up to you to keep your potatoes out of my pig!". He also had issues with other settling Americans. After that, Lyman shot the pig because the British farm animal didn't have a moral compass and didn't respect his property rights. After hearing the news and crying uncontrollably, he demanded an outrageous sum of $100 ($3,348.77 today) for the loss of the pig, which Lyman refused to pay and threatened to shoot more animals who entered his territory and even threatened to shoot Charles himself. For a while of not being seen in the episode due to General Harney's entrance, he was then seen being upset with the encroachment of American soldiers and tourists, which he complained to Douglas. He then gave a story to General Winfield Scott about what happened during Porky's killing. He was last seen and mentioned, when the British finally conceded, to have already left the island and had his farm sold.

## Trivia

* He, like Lyman, had a partner for the Belle of the Ball event featured in the video. His was the prized Berkshire shot by Cutler, Porky.
* He was branded as an "idiot" by General Winfield Scott.

The **Empire of Japan** was a historical country character seen in WW2 (Part 1) and the Russian Revolution (Part 1).

## History

In 1633, under Tokugawa Iemitsu, the Tokugawa shogunate enacted the policy of Sakoku (*鎖国*, meaning "closed country"). It was an isolationist foreign policy under which, for 214 years, relations and trade between Japan and other countries were severely limited. It barred nearly all foreign nationals from entering Japan and kept common Japanese people from leaving the country. In 1853, Sakoku ended when American ships commanded by Commodore Matthew Perry forced the opening of Japan to American (and, by extension, Western) trade through a series of treaties. These treaties were highly unfair and humiliating, and the Tokugawa shogunate soon faced internal hostility, which materialized into a radical, xenophobic movement. After years of civil war, Emperor Meiji came to power and industrialized Japan. In WW1, Japan joined the Allies, mainly because it wanted resources and land. After the war, Japan kept the occupied German islands.

However, Japan wanted more resources and land, so in WW2, it joined the Axis and took over many islands, including parts of the Republic of China, the Philippines, Burma, Indonesia, and others. Despite these victories, it screwed up when it attacked the United States, declaring war on it. The US and the United Kingdom began "island-hopping" (slowing taking over Japanese islands). Soon, the Allies defeated Germany and Italy, but Japan didn't surrender. The Allies had a choice: they could invade Japan or use a nuclear bomb. They chose to nuke Japan, so the United States dropped two nuclear weapons over the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on August 6 and 9, 1945, respectively. The bombings caused massive damage, leading to Japan's surrender. Then, Japan turned into Allied-occupied Japan. In 1947, the country adopted a new constitution emphasizing liberal democratic practices. The Allied occupation ended, and Japan regained its independence in 1952. It was granted membership of the United Nations in 1956, and the country has been at peace since.
