2 things: Start creating your website for free today with Odoo! www.odoo.com/r/RAv5 Should we cover more modern history like this?

Got chills when you mentioned their fathers were samurai. How wild. Great bit of perspective.

The bird-shaped plane flying over WW1 trenches feels like a DaVinci dream. Awesome artwork.

Best channel on KZfaq, needs more recognition.

I genuinely can’t believe your content is free to watch. Incredible stuff

Narration and script quality is on par with the art. Good job.

Can’t believe this vid is free. Way far better than History Channel

I guess these 2 quotes really are facts: "There are no permanent allies, only permanent interests." "Yesterdays enemies are tomorrows allies." Great video as always one of the few YT channels I always anticipate in releasing new videos.

Absolutely undercut by whatever algorithm KZfaq has. Some of the best history content on the platform.

Honestly crazy how these videos underperform considering the really good quality. 700k subscribers but the views are nowhere near that??

I wasn't sure how you guys were going to pull this topic off, but holy crap it's exceeded anything I could have imagined! Incredible work guys.

I’ve been anticipating for this video for a while. As usual the video’s production quality has surpassed expectations. Bravo!

Appreciate your channel. I listen to History Daily…daily…and you’re up in that area absolutely.

Always enjoy being able to watch these videos, great work as always.

History dose art work is my cocaine

The seeds of WW2 in the Pacific were planted by the Allies during the Treaty of Versailles. Japan, despite fighting bravely on the Allies side and adhering to the better rules of warfare were treated like second class citizens during the discussions. It went so far as their delegation was seated at what amounted to the equivalent of the "kids table" with many of their demands ignored or watered down to nothing. This behavior by the West opened up to the door a younger, more nationalist and militaristic generation of officers in the 1930's who viewed the acts as an insult to Japan and demanded that Japan take what it wanted rather than having to ask.

Thank you! Your passion for history is appreciated.

I love your channel and as an artist to another artist the stories & colors have no competition on KZfaq. However thos document reminds me of Felix von luckner who terrorized the seas of WWI in a legit pirate ship

I find WW1 but also the time pre-1914 outside the european theater so interesting. Maybe tackle the russo-japanese war of 1904? They don't call it WW zero for nothing.

They also sent a naval fleet of 17 ships to the Mediterranean to help the british secure malta. It was there they engaged in numerous battles with austria hungary and german submarines.

Another great video! Keep up the fantastic work!

Man I just love how the with the narration and art work works together to immerse us into the story. This channel’s storytelling and quality are some of the highest on KZfaq.

im gonna say this again, your and your brother's work is just awesome! please keep up the outstanding work!

This is some top notch editing, absolutely love the animation style

This channel somehow just got 100x better. The fact your able to make all the ancient battles and stories so captivating to people says alot about the artist. The storytelling is next level, mixed with the sound effects and now on top of covering topics where actual footage exists… theres no stopping this man. Best history channel by far. Im constantly awaiting the next video and seeing this topic being covered im too hyped for whats to come! Thank you!

As always, can't wait for more. Thankful for every minute of this channel! Keep going 💯

This is truly top of the notch content! Thank you for keeping this content free and not behind bars for those who can't afford it.

Another great video! This was amazing! I only heard about Tsingtao as a footnote of the war before, but ur video really helped me to understand it better!

This was a bit of a departure from the channels usual scope of history, but it paid off. Excellent video!

Phenomenal written work. Gorgeous art. Ive been watching your videos for years and just recently came back to this one. Battlefield 1 is my favorite video game and it got my fiancee playing games. Cant wait to show her this video. It is wild that these two countries would later be axis powers together 25 years later

Once again another great video. Keep up the great work guys!

Such an underrated part of history, so cool to see it brought to light with beautiful artwork!

Your research, narration, and artwork are unmatched. Best history channel I’ve ever come across.

Always considered myself a history buff. Never knew a WWI battle between Japan and Germany even happened. I actually learned something cool and new today. And on KZfaq of all places.

Dude your brothers art is amazing. Your narration with your brothers art made this video amazing

Beautiful as always

I dont think I'd heard about this conflict before this video. Come to think of it, I don't really know much about the Eastern theatre in regards to the first WW. This vid was an excellent introduction! Fanstastic work as always!

Been looking forward to this! I am not disappointed.

Great video as always love the narration coupled with art. Try reading on the battle of kolachel it is quite unknown.

Great stuff, thanks for the video!

That Video was amazing! You need much more Subscribers! Greetings from Germany 🙋‍♂️

Another great video, Thanks guys.

Your aesthetic, the artwork, sound, composition, and your vocal presentation is absolutely amazing. Captivating and entertaining.

Commenting for the algorithm. Praise the machine god Great video love the style and presentation

Such well made videos. The effort and care in them is so apparent.

This is the first video I've seen of yours and as a history teacher I commend you for how well done this is! You've definitely earned a subscriber and I look forward to seeing more of your videos!

I’ve watched this over and over. Your brother’s art and your adept narration make this channel a consistent producer of premium historical content. Truly under appreciated art all around.

Having a father that was a samurai only to have 30 years pass and we have flying machines must have been insane. Seeing the old world and such with horses and carriages go to street cars and trains must’ve been pretty life changing we evolved so fast we don’t even realize it

Feels wrong not to pay you guys for your videos, best history content on youtube.

This was insane. I always click so fast when I see you guys upload. Edge of my seat-type content.

Commenting for the algorithm. Keep up the good work lads.

Not only fascinating history, but presented in beautiful fashion. Great stuff !

Love everything you guys are putting out! Always look forward to a new video from you! I can only imagine how hard it is to put stuff together but all I’m saying if you made like a 45 minute video with your quality…. It would be the best thing I’ve seen on KZfaq in a very long time!

Absolutely remarkable!!😮

GREAT stuff. Super immersive as usual, but probably even stepped up a notch. Despite the dark subject matter, this is a satisfying puzzle piece to put on the table, helping fill in the World War era for non-experts like me. The glimpse into primitive plane warfare is very imagination-inducing. One could make a fantasy universe where plane technology never advanced past that level, with large scale wars of people shooting at other pilots with handguns; basically car chases in the air, with the slow speeds referenced in this video. Also leaving a mark on my memory in this video was the ship explosion that killed almost everyone on board. Can you imagine how loud it would be for a ship carrying all those mines to get hit by torpedos? I don't know how many of the mines exploded, but I would like to know how loud it was if anyone could calculate.

Another masterpiece. You haven’t released 1 video I wasn’t captivated by. Usually there’s at least a few I get bored with, but not your channel. Thank you for sharing these. It’s a blessing to history buffs everywhere!

You HAVE produced the most comprehensive coverage of this battle outside of shorts done by the BBC and so on. The media and depictions of the battle are THE best that are out there, how can we get some prints of them?

Fantastic video. This channel needs a million subs

ANOTHER amazing video. Had no idea this conflict even took place. Art. Music. Narrating. All on point as usual. Always love the "created by humans " part at the beginning.

Your brother does a damn good job on those art pieces

Phenomenal work gentlemen! You've made one of the lesser known engagements from WWI palpable. Please bring us more stories from this conflict, there's near endless inspiration to be found.

You guys always produce amazing videos. I would love to see your spin on Yi Sun Shin, or the Imjin War as a whole. Fantastic work!

This forgotten piece of history is so, so important to understanding the following decades; it is unfathomable how it is not more widely known, if people are to understand why the Japanese did what they did in WWII. WWI saw Japan do a whole lot for it's oldest western ally, Britain. The German South Seas Squadron was chased not only by the British and Australian navies, but almost the entire northern and western Pacific, as well as a large portion of the Indian Ocean, was searched by the Imperial Japanese Navy. In addition, British, Indian and Australian ships were released from the Indian Ocean convoys throughout the entire war due to the IJN's support there, with Japan being exposed to considerable levels of anti-submarine warfare in the process. Their support was crucial to Allied successes against the Ottomans, in addition to the engagements the Allies had against German Pacific and African possessions. Yet at the end of the war, and largely due to the late Ally having a very anti-Japanese view due to their own conflicting strategic interests, the following Treaty of Versailles that divided the ex-Central Powers possessions saw Japan lose many of the regions they had fought for alongside their British and British Colonial allies to the, as they saw it, latecomer who never bled for those territories. Further, alongside the British Empire, Japan was primarily a naval maritime power, not a land power. However after the war, they were forced to destroy most of their fleet in order to meet the new naval standards. Between the immediate post-war treaties, Japan saw only betrayal from the Allies - complete indifference from France, weakness from Britain, and hatred from the USA - which saw those in political power in Japan lose their positions and a notably hostile, insular government take power. It was this mindset, and the government that national mindset empowered, that set the stage for what occurred from the mid 1930's onwards, culminating in the first ever nuclear war. So why does this matter? History is lessons for the world. And the sad thing is, these are lessons we are wont to forget, and therefore doomed to repeat. Deep prejudice and disrespect caused the rifts that enabled WWII's Pacific War, and we must ensure we don't repeat that mistake in our future endeavours. That's not to say we will never fight wars again, but we must respect and value our allies, not just hype the value of individual nations over others. Patriotism is admirable, but prejudice destroys nations.

Liked and commented for the algorithm boost!

The fact that this entire episode is only done by 2 people is incredible

I get so excited when y’all drop new vids!

I love you, History Dose. I can never get tired of your channel.

Your narratives are incredible!

Love the coverage of less well known parts of history. Keep it up guys!

I read up on the events of this video and was even more amazed at the story - excellent video!

Brilliant video about a little known conflict. Thank you.

Absolutely love this! Well done guys, incredible work.

I subscribed to this channel because Joe makes incredible digital paintings. Truly amazing work.

I love little unknown conflicts like this great vid

Wow. This is quality, subscribed.

Channel never ceases to amaze with its quality. I share it with people whenever i can!

This channel should be the standard for historical content. Superb

Your brother's art is incredible. Fits perfect with your voice. You both are incredible.

Great video as always.

The only problem I have with this channel is that it doesn’t release enough videos,a true masterpiece in the art we need more!!!😍

Man, that's a really obscure topic. Great video as always!

Superb video of a battle not many are aware of

Ww1 ideas perhaps: The first Zeppline raids or Gotha bomber raids. The first use of tanks in combat. U9 that sank 3 British cruises in 1 hour. The raid on Zeebrugge. Ngl I am mainly interested in seeing your brother Joe's depiction/ artwork and your Narration concerning these events but I do hope they are somewhat good ideas😂

Keep creating 🤩. Always learning new things and the art is fantastic as always!!! Thanks guys for sharing such interesting moments of history!!!

A truly incredible video from the writing to the unique art, you've created drama that is both concise & enlightening

mesmerizing work as always. hats off to you gentlemen!

How is this free . Everytime you post a video , I immediately drop everything . Love this ❤

Awesome video cool to see the somewhat modern warfare content, the light from the explosions are so well animated!

Love that you chose a recent conflict (although I think the more ancient ones are awesome!). Would you ever consider doing a video about the Boer Wars in South Africa? There were two main conflicts, one in 1880 and then again in 1899. I think you will find the conflict fascinating.

Incredible writing and editing, thanks for giving us this video

Amazing video and I'm glad you add subtitles hopefully, It will happen to every video you guys make.

Greatest history Chanel on YT hands down , you should do a vid on the battle of verdun 1916 , or even focus on one aspect like the tug of war over Fort Douaumont, the soilders descriptions of the battle paint a hellish nightmare of never ending fire, smoke , and death , your narration would be perfect , currently reading alistair hornes book on it Price of glory , amazing read

OMG HISTORY DOSE JUST DROPPED

These videos are always a masterpiece. Both the artwork and narration are superb. You and your brother do an amazing job

Been watching for years, this was one of your best episodes! I know the algorithm can be brutal, but keep it up.

As a history major specifically studying ww1 and ww2 I’m glad you’re uploading some more 1900s history keep it up history does🩵

Best channel ever love your voice the writing and the art!!! Please keep them coming!

Battle of Culloden 1746 please!!! Last highland charge, don't forget to watch 'Culloden' by Peter Watkins 1964. Your channel has become my favourite youtube channel!

Once again. Amazing video. Can’t wait for the next one.

First of all, i love your content. I think you might do well making full length documentaries. People who watch this type of content are always looking for a good documentary.
