Fateful History

True stories of the mistakes that changed history.

What we do

Fateful History is a YouTube channel of short documentary stories: the decisions, accidents and blunders that changed the course of events — and how they still shape the world today.

Every fact in a script is checked against at least three independent sources. Claims that are disputed are either left out or presented as disputed. Images are public domain or openly licensed and are checked against the narration before a video is released.
