Hey what did you think of this bonus episode to complete the WW1 series? Please let us know what else you want to see in the comments down below!

I'm Thai and to be honest most of Thai people don't know how Thailand involved the both world war but world war one is forgotten.

Thank you from Cambodia❤ 🇰🇭

Nice video on a forgotten part of the world being involved in WWI. Your Thai pronounciations sounded like you trying to pronounce Slavic sounds (but hey, you tried, so I gotta give you props for that, a little more so than others who have done the same on KZfaq). Also kind of wished you covered nations like Burma, Laos, and Malaysia, (despite you adding Thailand and Cambodia, which was great as well) perhaps a part II? ;)

Some pretty good points you made, and you crucially pointed out how the First(and later, the Second) World War broke the perception of European and European origin people among many populations, shattering the myth that they were "destined" to rule over others. This is something quite a few popular retelling of both World Wars miss - they turned what were once powerful nations into neutered versions of themselves and showed that the Europeans in general were in no way special compared to the rest of the world. I would be interested to hear more about post Tokugawa Japan, in particular I would enjoy a very detailed take on various aspects of the Meiji era, as well as a history of industrialization efforts in Japan in general.

I was looking forward to seeing Burma mentioned but I guess there was not much. Far as I know the Burma rifle and sappers were sent to Mesopotamia and Palestine during WW1.

i did not realise the foundation role ww1 had on the independace movements in China and SE Asia. I had always thought it was ww2 - but thinking on it these movements all began before ww2. Was it similar with India and Burma? In Australia we celebrate ANZAC day and it signifies when we decided to stop grovelling to Britain and going it alone

I thought it was discusting how that priveledged colonialist woman was throwing crumbs to those poor Vietnamese kids like they were birds with a smile on her face.

Nice

Vietnamese Veteran would face even more discrimination against them by the colonial authority especially those that have PTSD and Disabilities from the war on jobs after the war. This heavily push Veteran toward crime syndicate and revolutionary movement which end as well as you expected for the Colonial government

Later, these Vietnamese soldiers joined Viet Minh to overthrow the French.

interesting video. i never knew that cambodians were involved in world war 1

I still don't know what the Philippines did during WW1

Were there any Laotians who fought?

Wow.. Why the heck did Europeans bring war to S.E.A? That is why colonialism is so awfully ridiculous...
