So exciting to see History Marche's presentation of this most famous of battles. We see so many popular media takes on it but it's so refreshing to see one based purely on historical and to help us become acquainted with the key personalities, strategies and tactics of both sides 🔥

So you're telling me Xerxes didn't have that huge golden throne in 300? I am disappointed...
-
Incomplete...No mention of giant goat monsters and that guy with the crab arms.

They didn't need armor, they had six pack abs.

One of those battles that never gets old to hear about. As always thanks for providing us with great and consistent content

What Leonidas accomplished is staggering against the odds. But I always think about the insane logistical and diplomatic achievement that was required by the Persians to transport, feed and arm an army of that size so far away from home. And on the back of a succession crises and revolt in Egypt.

David, in my oppinion you have the best voice on the internet. It's simply unbelieveble. And I would also love to hear Doddy again. Thank you for learning us so many things and also for your contribution to our education. And don't tell me this is to much. Respect!

I thank you David and the History March team for incredibly boosting my love for military history. I actually listen to your videos when I go to the gym or before a boxing class to get my adrenaline firing and spirit fired up. Especially hearing Leonidas's reply to the Persion envoy "Come and get them." I feel ready to face a challenge. Keep it up you guys

Great video as always y'all! You guys should consider doing a video on Plataea, for all of its importance its seldom talked about.
-
Nice video, I did know Thermopylae happened but I didn’t know much now I understand

This is probably the best description of the Battle of Thermopylae I have seen. Well done.

Finally a great channel covers a great event in all history. Excellent production and narration!

One of my favorite YouTube Channels. I’m always smarter after watching.
