Great story, thanks for sharing it. I served in Germany where my eldest daughter was born, but to my American wife. But Lord knows, had I been single, I would have married some pretty German chick and my eldest would have been half German, on top of German-born. Stuff happens lol

American ingenuity...

Is he talking about the first or the second Russia 's American invasion?

We learn that at school , and one of reasons that Bolsheviks has won - was involvement of USA troops to support „white army“ so regular civilians saw that like invasion and betrayal from its own officers , that is why they had to choose „less evil “ and fight along with „red army“

This period always looked very complicated to me, i was just vaguely knowing white Russians had some support from the west but i didn't realize there was actual expeditionnary troops and all those legions constitued of former prisoners. What a mess! :) I always asked myself how the Bolcheviks managed to wage such a bloody war with troops that wanted end of the war in 1917. lol Cossacks style war raids is maybe more "fun" than trenches war. :)

I heard about the Siberian mission just last year from the anime Mars Red. The main character of the series is an IJA colonel who lost an arm in the Siberian intervention.

How many people know Japan was a member of the Allied Powers during WWI? For that reason, as part of the Treaty of Versailles forced upon Germany by the victorious Allies, Japan was handed control of German holdings in the Pacific including the Marianas (Saipan and Tinian among others), the Marshall Islands, Pulau, parts of the Solomon Islands, and Western Samoa. In other words a giant chunk of what would become the Japanese Empire's Pacific island holdings which the US had to seize one bloody island at a time during WWII. Even more history few people know: Woodrow Wilson pushed for an end to the Colonial Era and the formation of the League of Nations which he is famous for. Chinese intellectuals looked to him as their hero and champion to help rid China of the European and Japanese colonialists who had exploited China and ruled sections of Chinese territory as economic concessions. However, Wilson was so determined to get Japan into the League of Nations, he agreed to allow Japan to keep its Shantung Peninsula Chinese holdings as an incentive to join the League. So many Chinese intellectuals felt so betrayed by Wilson that they decided to look to the new Soviet Marxist model instead of one based on the United States for inspiration. Mao Tze Tung came out of this sense of betrayal. They invited Russian Communists to come to present their case and suggestions secretly, and the Chinese Communist Party was born. So it can be said that Woodrow Wilson indirectly is responsible for the creation of the Chinese Communist Party.

@@jody6851 Wilson is one of the worst U.S. presidents of all time. The federal income tax (by way of the Underwood Act), the Federal Reserve, and the 17th Amendment allowing for direct election of U.S. Senators happened under his administration as well.

Along with his resistance to the women's suffrage movement for equal rights for women. He sure did step in everything while claiming to be an isolationist, and everything he touched including himself went to 🪑. And let's not forget the rise of crony captain under his watch that we still suffer from today and the pushing of oil over better and cleaner fuel sources along with tree paper over hemp because that's what his friends wanted. All thanks to the Rockefellers and their ilk and Wilson helping them all along the way!

Wasn´t it British Army unit?

@@Taistelukalkkuna It was, but I am not 100% sure if it was officially that, or unit armed by the British. After the conflict, majority of them were transported to Britain where they continued to live, some for the rest of their lives, others moving to the united states or seeking a permission to return to Finland. Still, weather it was or not, I think an ex red guard unit, fighting against the Finnish whites under a British flag is an interesting prompt for a good story

@@cutekrizu8214 yes it is, very interesting indeed. Makes one wonder what was the British’s motivation or aims? I have a suspect in mind but this comment will likely be censored anyways. Thanks for the info my friend.

It was pretty complicated (whole civil war was). British, Finnish Reds and Russian reds were against White Finns but same time British and White Russians were allied against Reds. And next year (1919) British Navy had base on Finnish soil against Red Russians.

This video probably has the best comments section, learned as much as video.

@Farmer Stole My Tank 2022 - Yeah, right

All "traditional" education is meant to be an overview. First through twelve grade education, especially history is merely an introduction. The hope of the educators was (before the Leftists took over) that this foundational education would create curiosity. I learned about this so-called "invasion" from a documentary series on WW1 decades ago. I also read about in my books on WW1. If you study history beyond HS, you learn such stuff. Delving into details like this sideshow would mean that the most critical history would have to be replaced by it. This has been done in fact, by Leftists such as Howard Zinn to demoralize youth and indoctrinate them, rather than educate them into a cynical view of Western history. The Allies were worried about communism and Bosheivism in particular and for good reason, as its history well illustrates. They were concerned with the stability of Russia. They soon learned that they could not make a difference. I think calling this adventure an "invasion" is sensationalizing an otherwise interesting, but inconsequential piece of history.

Yep. Every time someone says America never had colonies I point them to the Philippines. That was a horrifically brutal war and occupation.

that story has much more truth to it than this one does. this is a narrative lacking important facts. What the US did there was shameful, yet remember the US unlike any other country is public about its shame, and there is a lot of shame.

@@Oxtocoatl13 the US did good and bad in the Philippines. I would point out that to this day the government of the Philippines does not have control of all of the islands it claims. Yes the US took many colonies from the Spain at the end of that war. As stated that history is very ugly for the US, but it is very ugly since the US left as well.

But mostly full of war crimes, so we don't really talk about it. It would illuminate however why the crowd goes into a frenzy whenever Duterte uses an expletive with USA.

Я нисколько не удивлен

Let me guess, you’re saying this because you don’t like the fact that you can be called a hypocrite for condemning Russian aggression when America is the only one that has attacked Russian troops while being a foreign military in their land when Russia has never been in American land attacking American troops. That’s what this is about. Why else play semantics about it being called a invasion vs. a “intervention” or “expedition” Yet…when it’s Russia that backs separatists in Ukraine since 2014 and sends GRU/FSB units to help command, arm, and train rebel separatists it’s considered a Russian occupation & Russian invasions + occupation of Eastern Ukraine But when US troop “advisers” who engaged in combat & CIA Special Activities Division Paramilitary Officers were participating in backing and fighting with Contra Death Squad Rebels in Nicaragua and El Salvador and overthrow the Leftist Sandinista Government it’s not considered a US invasion of Nicaragua and El Salvador nor “American backed separatists or “Rebel held American foreign occupied territory” *Makes fun of Russia for calling it a military operation instead of invasion* *Simultaneously says things like “it’s not a US invasion, it’s a expedition “intervention”* Look, Anytime Foreign troops are in your land shooting people in your country while being across the globe from their nation, they’re invaders. That is the internal affairs of another nation. When the Communist Afghan Government requested the Soviet Union come in to help them repel the Mujahideen Islamic militants that began attacking Government forces and trying to overthrow the Afghan Government, the United States still referred to it as a soviet invasion despite the fact that the UN Charter internationally recognized Afghan Government requested the Soviet Union send their military in to help them repeal Mujahideen fighters As matter of fact, after the American backed Islamic Mujahideen militants (including Osama Bin Laden) successfully overthrew the Soviet Allied Afghan Government (After the USSR withdrawal) The United States and the rest of the world in the UN Charter never even recognized the subsequent Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (Aka Taliban Government) Regime that took power in Kabul replacing the Soviet Allied Afghan Government. So America literally still recognized the coalition accord Government with the same Soviet Allied Afghan President that America had backed Islamic extremist to overthrow yet they stilled called it a Soviet Invasion So if you’re gonna call the Soviets entering Afghanistan a invasion then you can’t be a hypocrite and say Americans didn’t invade Russia during World War 1. As matter of fact, the Bolshevik and Reds were already the new Government officially in power in Saint Petersburg and Moscow & had signed a peace agreement to end participation in WW1 and remain neutral for the rest of the war The United States and British forces are the ones that invaded Russian territory to deny land for German forces and for their allied forces to be able to use it to launch offensives from while simultaneously backing the now overthrown and toppled absolute monarchy czarist forces and their loyalist that had already been deposed and overthrown and put out of power by the Russians who rose up to put them out Now if Russia would have “intervened” when Yanukovych was forcefully overthrown by a violent uprising and overthrow (Yes the Maidan by the end of it had turned from a peaceful protest to a violent and bloody clash between organized anti government street militants and insurrectionists throwing fire bombs at capital policemen, shooting capital security forces, and taking over government buildings) and if Yanukovych requested foreign “intervention” from Russia to come in and restore order after a new government commenced in Kyiv would that not be considered a invasion? Oh wait, that already happened and Americans called it a invasion after Yanukovych requested Russian troops to increase their levels in Crimea even before the annexation of Crimea! Don’t be a hypocrite then. That is the *INTERNAL AFFAIRS* of another nation. It is not another nations place to send their military in to the internal conflicts and internal affairs of another sovereign nation to influence a favorable outcome to who ends up in power subject to their national interests and interjecting their military to make it happen. If Russia was invited in by the rebels in the American civil war and Russian troops were killing The American soldiers who fought for the union side would you not consider that a foreign invasion despite the fact they were welcomed by other Americans who had no right to invite a foreign nation into the internal affairs of their nation? Of course you would, that is a invasion, don’t joke about Russia calling it a “military operation” if you’re gonna call it a “humanitarian intervention” or “expedition” while sending your military in to attack another nation in Russians in their land during WW1 You are equally using semantic word play just like Russia when they call their invasion a “military operation” Invasions aren’t contingent upon having 100,000 troops involved nor is it contingent upon thousands of tanks rolling across another nations borders blitzkrieg style. ANY event where foreign troops are sent in and attack another foreign nation is a invasion, period. It doesn’t matter if it’s only some American fighter jets and US military choppers carrying units of American special forces and supporting them with air strikes & recon for raids and drone warfare JTAGS that do extrajudicial killings. The US can’t decide to use drone military attacks or cruise missile strikes in the internal affairs of another nations militant factions just because our own Government designated them terrorists The Russian Government recognizes Right Sector and Azov as foreign terrorists organizations and Dmitry Yarosh publicly advocated in support of the jihadist terrorists attacks on subway trains in Russia So if Russia sent In cruise missiles and drones to blow up Dmitry Yarosh and Right Sector bases are you telling me America wouldn’t condemn them as a foreign invasion attack against another sovereign nation? Of course they would. Well same thing when America does extrajudicial killings against who we designate as foreign terrorists. For example the Yemeni Houthi Rebels that took power in the capital of Yemen are designated foreign terrorists, how is it America’s place to aid and support in the bombing and military forces attacking Yemeni’s in their own country fighting the internal affairs and internal conflicts of their own nation just because they are butt buddies with Saudi Arabia and Israel who want them dead because of their friendly relations with Iran? Iran is a enemy because they aren’t subservient to US national interests, Iran’s democratically elected leader was overthrown by the United States in a military coup and was replaced by the American installed U.S. puppet shah who was a brutal absolute monarch totalitarian that ruled over the Iranians and sold out their commodities and oil to American and British corporations at cheap and privatized prices, enriching himself at the expense of suffering Iranian people Ever since the Iranian Revolution of 1979 rose up and overthrow the US installed puppet shah, Iran has been a huge enemy of the US ever since, all because they have huge natural gas and oil reserves and they dared overthrow our puppet and nationalize the oil that went on to be BP oil. We later backed Iraq’s invasion and became best friends with Saddam, giving him weapons, targeting Intel, and Donald Rumsfeld even gave Saddam biological and chemical weapons to use against the Iranians as payback for them ousting our puppet, our goal was to have Saddam and Iraq’s military collapse the Iranian government so we could re-install a American puppet and privatize the oil and commodities again for America Iranians led by Khoemeni fought tooth and nail against Iraq though and prevented it from happening That’s why it’s so hypocritical that USA acts like we cared for Iraq invading sovereign nations during the gulf war, we have just gotten done being best friends with Iraq and overwhelmingly supporting their invasion of Iran like Saddam’s cheerleaders and providing them with everything they need to win line satellite Intel, weapons, and even CIA training The Gulf war had nothing to do with invasions, it had to do with Saddam having too much access to the earths oil supply and being a potential threat to Israel and Saudi Arabia which are US client states that America relies on for our national interests and use of petrodollars keeping the US dollar as the global reserve currency If the gulf war was truly about supporting international law and being anti invading nations, the USA wouldn’t have invaded Panama less than a year before Iraq invaded Kuwait We supported Iraq invading another nation just 2 years before the gulf war and we invaded another sovereign nation just the year prior to the gulf war

Dozens of nations invaded Russia in 1919. The reason it's forgotten is because these weren't invasions of conquest. They were military interventions. None of those nations were trying to wipe Russia off the map. People say Russia has been invaded like 50 times in its history, but there are maybe 3 times when those invasions/incursions were an existential threat, and those are the ones that get highlighted when teaching history.

@@stendall True technically these may not be called "invasions of conquest". But you wrong in saying "those nations were not trying to wipe Russia off the map".

Something you never hear now but i have a set of books on the subject published in 1921 the Serbian Army acted as rear guard while the British escaped which explains why there was so many Serbians in the Czech Legion .

Washington sent General Graves a Intel Officer said to help him out but he hardly saw this Officer he was always in Moscow Graves became suspicious when his men started to be attacked regularly so he contacted Washington and was told to shut up or he would be sacked ,

The Japanese were paying Ataman Grigory Semyonov who's Cossacks attacked and kidnaped Americans , Japan also provided Sternburgs Asiatic Calvary Division with a few special forces to man his artillery

I think you got a bit wrong concerning Alexander Kolchak he had little if any control over the Cossacks that was Grigory Semyonov who also ended up with 40% of Kolchak's Gold and ordered Roman Ungern von Sternburg to invade Mongolia. Do you know where whats left of Kolchak's Gold is now ? hahahaha

The Russians would have been the first to introduce a Tank but beside Tank being the British nick name for an Armored Land Ship this thing was so big with two petrol engines it was far too heavy to be of any use so they converted it into an Armored Train and it was captured by the Czech Legion and used as their HQ and to transport 8 wagon loads of gold which became known as Kolchak's Gold
