His father, Vladimir Konstantinovich Andropov, was a railway worker of Don Cossack descent who died of typhus in 1919. His mother, Yevgenia Karlovna Fleckenstein (none of the official sources mention her name), was a school teacher who died in 1931. She was born in the Ryazan Governorate into a family of town dwellers and was abandoned on the doorstep of a Finnish citizen, a Jewish watchmaker, Karl Franzevich Fleckenstein, who lived in Moscow; he and his wife, Eudokia Mikhailovna Fleckenstein, adopted and raised her.

Andropov's earliest documented name was Grigory Vladimirovich Andropov-Fyodorov; he changed it to Yuri Andropov several years later. His original birth certificate disappeared, but it has been established that Andropov was born in Moscow, where his mother worked at a women's gymnasium from 1913 to 1917.

He became the leader of the Soviet Union following Leonid Brezhnev's death in 12 November 1982.

In late January 1984, Andropov's health deteriorated sharply and due to growing toxicity in his blood, he had periods of failing consciousness. He died on 9 February 1984 at aged 69.

Three Kingdoms

**Three Kingdoms** is a video created by OverSimplified. It talks about the Chinese conflict called "Three Kingdoms," that was fought between the dynasties Wei, Shu, and Wu. The conflict started after the Han dynasty's fall.

## Summary

For thousands of years, dynasties would rise rule over China for centuries to come, improving people's lives as well as making advancements all across the spectrum. However, eventual political and economic turmoil would result in another dynasty rising and taking over the Mandate of Heaven, or the right to rule.

For example, there is rampant corruption in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, in part because of a string of child emperors that gave power to corrupt officials, such as Eunuchs. The Yellow Turban Rebellion (184 AD), led by a 'Magical Wizard' Zhang Jue would happen and eventually would be crushed by Regional Warlords. These Warlords included Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Dong Zhuo, and many others.

But due to the reliance on Regional Warlords, the power of the government would decrease and the Regional Warlords' gained power. He Jin becomes the regent and Jin gets killed by the Eunuchs.

Just then Jin calls in the Tyrannical Dong Zhuo from the Northwest. Chaos happened in the capital, which led to a fire. When Dong Zhuo reached the Capital with his Army, he realizes that he was 'In Charge'. Dong Zhuo becomes the emperor's regent. The emperor gets replaced by his younger brother. Zhuo becomes hated by the Warlords and a civil war happened. The Warlords, who hated Zhuo, decided to split up and the war ended.

Zhuo gets betrayed by Lü Bu, and multiple civil wars happened in China. Multiple alliances were formed by Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao. Multiple wars happened between Shu and Shao factions and a man named Cao Cao nearly win all of China.

But he was halted by Liu Bei and Sun Quan. The three Warlords would conquer most of China for themselves. They would create their own kingdoms. Cao Cao would died and his son, Cao Pi, would become emperor of Wei. Quan and Bei would crown themselves as emperors afterwards. Wei conquered all of China, and change their name to Jin.

**Vladimir Lenin** was a Russian communist and the first leader of the Soviet Union.

## Biography

Vladimir Lenin was born in April 22, 1870. Lenin was a middle-class Russian citizen, who can get mad easily, and insult anyone who dares to disagree with him. Lenin read a manifesto about an idea called 'communism' by Karl Marx. Lenin was exiled to Siberia and thence to Europe. Later, in WW1, the Germans sent him back to Russia, in hopes that he would disturb Russia enough to make itself vulnerable. Lenin did in fact manage to take over the government and a three year long civil war occurred. Lenin won the Civil War and created a Communist union. However, due to many arguments, the Union was divided, between the Bolsheviks and the Mensheviks. With a lot of stress, Lenin had a lot of strokes. Vladimir Lenin died in January 21, 1924 at the age of 53 years.

## Trivia

* During WW1, the German soldiers mistook him for John Lennon.

Western Australia

**The Second Great Emu War**, or **the Second Attempt**, was a "conflict" that look place in 1932 between the Australian Army and the Emus.

## Background

After the Australian Army lost to the Emus, they decided to wage war a second time. This time they were aware of the tactics used by the Emu Army and were more successful in casualties against the Emus. Despite this, even though the Emus took heavy damage, they still managed to win.

While the number of battles is unknown, it is known that the Second Great Emu War was fought mostly in skirmishes with the emus taking casualties in the double digits weekly. Despite this, the Australian Media was much more focused on other things, like Mel Gibson eating a koala bear, and the war was over in a matter of weeks.

At first, it had looked like the Australian Army had won the war. However, very few Emus were killed while lots of ammunition was used, which led to most saying the Emus won the "war."

Even though the Australians had eliminated a distinct number of the emu population, the woes that Farmer Bruce had to deal with were still present. Farmer Bruce (and other farmers) were subject to their thievery and bullying until they found the solution of building better fences, thus preventing emus from ruining their crops.

"**The Vikings did**" was a running gag used in two OverSimplified videos: "Emu War (Mini-Wars #4)" and the American Revolution. It would only be used when Oversimplified sposored "Vikings: War of Clans;" hence, why the line hasn't been used in two years. It was spoken by an unspecified character referred to as "You" (the viewer).

## Trivia

* This is the second gag to appear in more than one video. The first was "Dude, Uncool."
* It has not been used since "Emu War (Mini-Wars #4)."
* The first time OverSimplified used the line, he said, "Columbus didn't discover America," which is partially correct. The second time, however, he said, "The British didn't discover Australia," which is incorrect.

The Powerpuff Girls

The Powerpuff Girls are gender-defying superheroes in a cartoon from the late '90s. The original series teaches amazing life lessons about inclusion, being gay, and true to who you are. To stand up and celebrate what you are in life. Here are some of the most fabulous and profound things that PPG teaches children about being gay:

That not everyone will understand how special and unique you are, and that's all right. The fact that people won't always "get" or understand you doesn't make you any less special or unique. Sometimes a sickening hairflip can make your life a whole lot better. It's never okay to judge people based on looks and assumptions. You should never let anyone else define you. Sometimes reinvention can be an amazing thing. You gotta throw a little shade when necessary, of course, and sometimes you gotta get down and dirty.

The looks, the career, the fab life ... you can have it ALL. But make sure you always have time for a little tea. Things in life, especially when you are LGBT, aren't always going to come easy. But as long as you have a good support squad, you'll be set. Gender norms are for lames, you are always fabulous no matter what.

The first episode aired November 18, 1998, following superhero kindergarten girls named "Blossom", "Bubbles", and "Buttercup". Buttercup is a gay trans boy, Bubbles is asexual panromantic, and Blossom is a lesbian. Buttercup was the most notably queer character with boyish colour and a boys hair-cut.

Trench Warfare

A Birds-Eye view of a common type of Trench Warfare.

**Trench Warfare** is a type of warfare where troops fight in a trench. There was tons of fighting, with little to no territorial changes.

## History

Trench Warfare was first used by the Roman Empire, where Legions would entrench themselves during the night. In early modern Warfare Generals used this method to stop possible attack. In 1840, the trench warfare was again used in the Crimean War.

In the American Civil war, both sides used Trench warfare.

Trench Warfare was widely used during World War 1 on the Western Front. In the Iraq-Iran War, trench warfare was also used widely.

## How it works

Troops would either launch shells at each other, or one side would try to rush the other. This system was used for several years in World War 1, between German, French, British, and Belgian troops.

Following that WW1, due to tanks, airplanes, and bombs being used on the battlefield more regularly, using Trench Warfare has reduced significantly.
Wei

*魏*

**Wei** was one of the three major Chinese dynasties during the Three Kingdoms period, and was located in northern China.

## History

Near the end of the Han dynasty, northern China came under the control of Cao Cao, the chancellor to the last Han ruler, Emperor Xian. In 213, Emperor Xian gave Cao Cao the title of "Duke of Wei" and gave him ten cities as his dukedom. The area was named subsequently named "Wei". At that time, the southern part of China was divided into two areas controlled by two other warlords, Liu Bei and Sun Quan. In 216, Emperor Xian promoted Cao Cao to the vassal king title “King of Wei.”

Cao Cao died on 15 March 220 and his vassal king title was inherited by his son Cao Pi. Later that year, on 11 December, Cao Pi forced Emperor Xian to abdicate in his favour and took over the throne, establishing the state of Wei. However, Liu Bei immediately contested Cao Pi's claim to the Han throne and declared himself "Emperor of Han” a year later. Sun Quan was nominally a vassal king under Wei, but he declared independence in 222 and eventually proclaimed himself “Emperor of Wu” in 229.

## Trivia

* To distinguish the state from other historical Chinese states of the same name, Wei is often referred to as "Cao Wei" (曹魏)
