Which war movie/series were you most deeply moved by? What resonated in you after watching it?

Avengers: We have the Hulk Vietnam:We have trees

Fact #51: It took 50,000 bullets to kill one soldier in Vietnam. Fact #52: The Vietnamese don't call it the Vietnamese War. The call it the American War.

I was drafted in 1965, went to Vietnam in 1966 , 20 years old didn't know anything but after being in a holding Company for 3 weeks recovered this was a war for the rich to get richer, and after being discharged other things come to light proving it, Ive been every year the last 5 years it's been the best thing I've ever done, 😍😍

Fact 51: The Vietnam War had made the US end mandatory military service. Fact 52: The first B-52, one of the US' most powerful strategic bombers, was being shot down by the North Vietnamese. Fact 53: Vietnam War has the highest numbers of B-52 shot down/heavy damaged (15_U.S report | 34_North Vietnam report). Fact 54: Paris Treaty 1973 ended the US & allies' involvement in Vietnam, which was unprofitable for South Vietnam. Fact 55: Despite the treaty being signed, both sides accused each other of violating the treaty. Without the supplies from the West, S.Vietnam soon fell one by one; which led the North the opportunities to fully engage and retrieved all the southern territories, successfully unifying the nation under their ideology. Fact 56: Technically the US had won the battle like real big but they didn't win the people's hearts. That might be a big disadvantage for them (the story which would happen in Afghanistan) Fact 57: Some people think this was a civil war, but it's not. Since the Vietnam War had directed involvement from: US and some others pro-US (from aids to men) -> S.Vietnam; USSR, China, and some others pro-communist (aids, military advisors, diplomatic support) -> N.Vietnam Fact 58: N.Vietnam had never allowed any foreign soldier of any country to fight in direct combat during the war (only advisors). But the fact that some North Korean pilots were sided with the Vietnamese pilots fighting the war in the 60s

I'm Vietnamese, and, yeah, our bush is friendly

USA: We have professional soldiers and high advanced vehicles Vietnam: *Hold My Trees*

Vietnam:let me tell you a joke The USA:what ? Vietnam: South vietnam The USA:I don't get it! Vietnam:YEAH

You can't win American War. Nguyen : "hold my rice."

Russia old allies: Winter Vietnam old allies: Trees Thank you mother nature

everyone gangsta until the trees learn Vietnamese

The Vietnam war was old rich men talking, and young brave soldiers being taken advantage of.

51st fact: VIETNAMESE DONT FIGHT FOR COMMUNISM, CAPITALISM OR ANY POLITICAL IDEOLOGY BUT WE FIGHT FOR OUR PEOPLE, OUR COUNTRY. OUR TRUE IDEOLOGIES ARE PATRIOTISM, NATIONALISM.

Vietnam has the people,full of courage and love for their country.

A lot of Australian and New Zealand veteran children suffering effects of Agent Orange like myself, but NOTHING compared to what the Vietnamese are still being born with to this day.

To quote the"Never get involved in a land war in Asia."

51. After the Vietnam War, it was the US that agreed China to invade Vietnam in 1979. 52. After the Vietnam War, it was the US that issued a total ban against Vietnam in hoping to collapse the Vietnamese government, and turned the country to stone age. 53. Both Russia and the US now want to lease land in Cam Ranh, Vietnam, to put up their base, but the Vietnamese government refuse both of them. 54. To gain friendly term with Vietnam, the US government not only give free old patrol and combat boats to Vietnam, it also encourage Vietnamese government to buy its weapons. The Vietnamese government has not order a single item yet. 55. Now the US government is willing to do anything to gain the alliance with Vietnam. THOSE ARE BIG FACTS, JACK!!!

So french military continued the traditon of losing after WW2

*_"they're in the trees!"_*

My mom is Vietnamese, she told me when she was a child, an American solider gave her some candies.

Appreciate this, I'm currently attempting to write a psychological horror book about a squad in Vietnam, this is incredibly helpful to help me make progress in it. Thanks for the info!

These are not insane facts, its just basic info.

When you were trying to fight against Colonialism to gain independence but had to fight the U.S for it. The most ironic war ever

Vietnamese people dont call "Vietnam war". It is "The war against the US to save our country"

Me as a Vietnamese talking to my friends: Quick! Guys pretend to be shocked!

When i'm watching this video, my christmas tree screams "dit con me may" and i hear AK-47 sounds :((((

Although the smallest draftable height of a soldier was 5 foot four as I understood, one of my friends who was only 5 foot two was specially drafted just so he could be a Tunnelrat. He died in action.

Another fact: Among 1 million people from North to South, there were many SPIES. Some of them worked for the Saigon government. The war of American lost when it was started.

The US:"Let's prevent the collapse of the Laotian government" Also the US *Dropped 2 million tons of bombs on Laos*

"The French lost and wanted the US to drop nukes on north Vietnam"?!?!! is that correct??

My grandpa was in there for 3 years and I still live with him to this day

Americans be like: "we didn't lose the Vietnam War, we just retreated"

I'm Vietnamese and my dad told me when he was studying the teacher would tell everyone when bombs are dropping so that they can jump into a tunnel

#1 lieutenant Dan ain't got no legs

"In the region the war was known as . . ." The war was called The American War in Vietnam. They did not call it The Vietnam War. It was The American War.

More such 50 facts about other historical events and wars please!! 🙏 💗💗💗

Those poor soldiers. Nothing could prepare them for what they experienced. That incessant use of Fortunate Son

If the Vietnam War was a group project: USA - Does all the work but its still not enough South Vietnam - Barely helps at all France - Shows up for the beginning then disappears

In the Marine Corps the smallest guy was the tunnel rat. I went in six tunnels and almost didn’t come out of four of them. Scariest thing I ever did. Still have nightmares.

you guys are the reason that i love history love from norway and i love your videos

I'm from Vietnam... These facts aren't that insane

World: Nobody can defeat the US army Vietnamese rice farmers: *HOLD MY BEER*

Some people say "The US have LITERALLY NO BUSINESS starting that War vs. Vietnam ..." -- Please consider again regarding "BUSINESS", as per below ================ Domino theory ? Stop the spread of communism ? Protect the "free world" ? ... # Maybe. But please consider the following first. # Imagine I was the owner of a company that makes ammunition for the US-army guns, plus canned food for the US Military. # If the war in Vietnam went ahead (i.e. killing people, Vietnamese and Americans; expected to last years), I'd stand to make maybe 100 billion dollars in total (makers of helicopter gunships, artillery shells, military clothing, ... would probably make more money) # If there wasn't any war, then I would not have that 100 billion dollars. # In that case (no war) I would try to destroy any obstacle on my way of getting that 100 billion dollars. # President John F Kennedy was hesitant about invading Vietnam and starting a war (he knew about Vietnamese people's history and spirits), and about to declare USA's no-war and non-involvement (or drastically reduced involvement) # Please suggest what I do to get my 100 billion dollars. Thanks.

The movie with Mel Gibson about the first engagement with Vietnam troops was called, “We Were Soldiers”. The Book it’s based on was called, “We Were Soldiers Once...(and Young)”written by Lieutenant Colonel Hal Moore.

The Infographics Show: “50 insane facts you didn’t know about the Vietnam War” *_Dwight D. Eisenhower has joined the server_*

In the first few seconds, it’s not democracy vs communism, it’s capitalism vs communism

We need a 50 facts of desert storm. Your' videos are awsome

It was a pointless loss of lives, President Johnson's downfall.

"50 Insane Vietnam facts you DIDN'T know if you've NEVER heard of the Vietnam War."

Trees speaking Vietnamese intensifies

You forgot the battle of Long Tan where 460 Australians defeated around 2,000 NVA troops, which earned great respect for the Australian soldiers from the NVA and VC. The respect was mutual.

I already knew a lot of these. Thanks Infographics Show

Because I’m Vietnamese I get weird looks by people in school every time a veteran mentions he serve in the Vietnam War in Veterans Day

Vietnam soldiers: *hide in trees The world: deforestation Mr.Beast: plants 20mil trees The world: you betrayed

I love the fact that you coloured Finland as part of the Soviet union but not Lithuania or Kaliningrad .

just read a horrible news from google about 1968 Vietnam war, there were 504 unarmed women and kids murdered by the US army soldiers. I was so so angry that why !!!!???

Vietnam is not the strongest country but the strongest countries fail to Vietnam

You forgot number 51: The U.S. was supposed to leave Vietnam after national democratic elections, but instead the U.S. remained and prevented the elections from taking place.

“Insane Facts you didn’t know #49: Vietnam was supported by China and Russia.” Thanks, that was one ‘insane fact’ I never heard of 😂. I’m still a fan of The Infrographics Show, but a lot of these were common knowledge, with a clickbaity title...

My grandpa and two of my uncles served in the US military during the 60s. My grandpa served in Vietnam but my uncles served elsewhere since the military didn't want all the brothers of them in active service. My grandpa ended up being awarded 3 bronze stars during his service in Vietnam.

Dont Forget how the Americans used Agent Orange which is still effecting lives down there !

Who's Vietnamese here? 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️ My grandpa was in that war; I'm grateful he's alive

Fun fact: Rambo once said he was their worst nightmare.

Hot, humid, rice, and standing water in a rice field. Looks like home sweet home to an East Arkansas boy. “Is that a crow or a skeeter?” “Both.”

51 ho Chi Minh had no animosity towards the United States in the beginning and actually saw them as an ally for their help in beating the Japanese and assuming they would be in favour of ending colonial rule by France as they had ended their own colonial rule by England. The United States decided capitalism was more important than a foreign people’s self determination to rule themselves as they pleased

Who would win? The Best military in the world with high technology (at that time) Or Rice farmers with some weird yellow cone hats.

For those who are asking. Yes, we have speaking tree bushes as pets in our home :)

As sabaton once said “they where far too young to die in such a way”

11:50 yet people still call it a “civil” war. I guess the Americans just only had a trip in Vietnam and died“accidentally”...

Fortunate Son Intensifies

I live in america because of the Laotian civil war and my grandfather had to fight in war and helped america in the vietnam war. My mom lived in thailand and my dad lived in laos before moving to usa for helping in the secret war

😊! Great content

Lv. 1 South Vietnam Lv. 50 North Vietnam edit: *_That's how communism works_*

I'm learning Vietnamese so I can speak for the trees.

other country people: wow this is new, i didn't know it. Me, as a student: I know this since grade 4

0:50 Finland wasn’t part of the Soviet Union at that time.

Usa:hahahaha we are the most powerful country in the wolrd!!! Vietnam:hold on my tree Ussr:hahahaha we can turn you into pieces!!!!!! Afghanistan:hold on my sand

You didn't mention Robert McNamara,Hanoi Jane and the final collapse when Walter Cronkite pronounced it over. You also forgot to mention the hate and disrespect and blame veterans suffered for years afterward. The cruelest thing I ever indured was older veterans who blamed us for the loss! I will go to my grave remembering being turned out by my own nation!

Me: Ooooooh a Vietnam war video Also me: Hey google, play fortunate son *fortunate son song intensifies*

My grand father fought in the war of Vietnam can we all get a salute❤️🇺🇸👏

*Father lets son see a documentary on the Vietnam war Nobody: The son:"Dad, why are the trees and the bushes talking ?"

When you are vietnamese and learning history but you still watching english fact about the war of your country... Loving myself

Great info. As my late father a field grade officer for the US Army with 2 tours said...we lost the war. Also Col. David Hackworth highly criticized the US Army for its poor leadership!

Much Power & Respect to Vietnam From INDIA 🙏🇮🇳

A Vietnamese: "I am the Lorax, I speak for the trees."

Everyone gangsta until the tree say :"dit con me may"

everyone gangsta until the bushes start whispering to each other about last nights poker game

Fun fact: Vietnamese rice farmers can defeat the worlds biggest military

I visited Vietnam just 4 months ago and also went to visit one of the tunnel systems. We had the opportunity to cross one of these tunnels that went on for I believe 300 m in total and it was one of the most claustrophobic experiences I made... and I'm not even claustrophobic. It was so narrow that I couldn't turn around and so low that I had to bend down not only my back but also by legs ^^ ... but I was lucky that I a a rather short woman, a guy in front of me was so huge, that he had to crawl on all fours in order to get through it. It was a very unique and rather terrifying experience to be so limited in the movements and I don't want to imagine how it would have been to be in the tunnels when being bombarded from above or having to transport injured comrades. It made me realize how lucky I am to be born into a peaceful country and time.

"grandpa, whats your kdr in vietnam?"

the comments: tree. me: haha french lost due to 100,000 normal civilian Vietnamese.

If we think the Taiwanese should be allowed to decide on how they are governed, why not also the Vietnamese. America burnt and poisoned a far weaker country and people, but for what ? You can't do that just because you fear a domino effect. If you are afraid of communism then make Capitalism people friendly, that would be far more effective.

who would win? An super power with hundreds of thousands of men: Some Bushy Bois:

No mention of the Tet Offensive. Really?

actually, while the 2nd gulf of tonkin attack is unlikely to have happened, the maddox and turner joy did believe they had been attacked. it was a tense situation, an attack was expected, and radar contacts in bad weather (most likely heavy seas or other natural phenomena) were reported as approaching enemy craft. the captains of both ships said the attack was dubious, but the lbj administration jumped at the chance to take a more active role in the war and ignored the doubts. it was not a manufactured incident, but a mistake made by nervous sailors and exploited by corrupt officials for their own reasons. and false radar contacts have often been the cause of such mistakes. in the aleutian islands during ww2, a us navy task force, on a night of bad weather, detected several radar contacts, thought to be japanese ships and attacked. after the war, japanese records showed no ships anywhere near there on the night in question, and the incident is often called "the battle of the pips" by historians today. just given as an example of how such things can occur, and radar in the 60's wasn't that much better than in the 40's.

00:45 Highlights the USSR, but Finland somehow also got highlighted and Lithuania didn't. 01:41 still highlighted Finland as apart of the USSR but didn't highlight Lithuania as apart of the USSR. Fun fact: Sweden also sent aid to north vietnam.

I like how most of your "amazing facts" are just recounting the history of the war

You left out a few salient facts. After fighting with the US against the Japanese, at the end of WW II, Ho Chi Minh petitioned Truman and the US to recognize Viet Nam's independence. Charles DeGaulle wanted to keep Viet Nam as a French colony, so the US refused recognition to keep France in NATO. The irony was that France withdrew from NATO in the mid-60's, after the US got fully sucked into supporting South Viet Nam. Also, Richard Nixon, aided by Henry Kissinger and Anna Chennault, sabotaged the Paris Peace Talks in '68 to prevent LBJ ending the war, which almost certainly would have given the Democrats the Presidential Election. Through private back-channels, Nixon convinced the North Vietnamese they would get a better deal from him than from the Democrats. The talks were stalled, and Nixon won the election. The Republicans then continued the war for another SEVEN YEARS, resulting in tens of thousands of additional American casualties, just so Nixon could become President.

My Grandfather fought in Vietnam. He still has a knife he found from there.

It's wasn't Democracy vs Communism it was Capitalism vs Communism.
