Founded in 2018
History made clear.
House of History began in 2018 as a passion project shaped by a long-running interest in history and politics. Since then, it has evolved into the channel it is today: an independent home for manually animated, research-driven documentaries.
Research-driven films built from smooth, manually animated maps and battle sequences.
The films cover a broad historical range, from the Ancient World to World War II. Every map and battle sequence is animated by hand to clarify movement, timing, decisions, and consequence.
