Crowns to Trenches

Kings, empires, revolutions and world wars, told by the guy who always got stuck paying for them.

Crowns to Trenches is animated history from the bottom up. Our host, Pete the Peasant, has lived through every era: taxed by kings, drafted by emperors and sent to the trenches. He's here to tell you what really happened.

On this channel:
⚔️ The ENTIRE history of countries, from the first kings to today

🎖️ The world wars and the armies behind them: soldiers, ranks, weapons and battles
