Squire Explains

History's strangest "why" questions, answered in under a minute by a very smug squire.

Why did armies march in straight lines? How did kings survive poison? Why did Australia lose a war to emus?
Every short takes one odd moment from the past and explains how it really worked, with hand-drawn animation
and the facts checked.

New shorts every week. Got a "why" you want answered? Leave it in the comments.
