I think, based on this video, there appeared to be LOT of cowardice, ineptitude, and delays caused by the top French commanders.

Hitler was an arrogant overly confident greedy idiot. He had a huge part of europe under his grasp. he more than doubled germanies land and gained all the resources they offer. he could have stopped there and Germany would be the greatest super power. it still baffles me how Deutschland went from the definitive strongest wealthiest nation to being the weakest. the biggest fall.

Your timing on Crimean War is wrong u have shown 1953 instead of 1853

Although in Hine site the Arch Duke not GTF was a stupid but for a moment imagine if he made it to the hospital new papers spreading the news that the future kiser went to see the wounded both his military guard and the Bosnian civilians caught in the blast, weather intentionally or not it would be brilliant PR that he cares for all peoples of the empire even the ones chucking bombs at him but sadly a wrong turn and A-hole went to a sandwich shop started the worst war in human history

I'm glad you mentioned the USSR's involvement in the war however, I think their declaration of war had more to do with the surrender of Japan more than is mentioned by a so many people. When the Soviet Union declared war on Japan they of course invaded Manchuria which was under japanese occupation at the time. It was known as operation 'August Storm' or more formerly as the Manchurian Strategic Offensive. It took less than two weeks for the Red Army to completely overrun the Japanese army and completely control Manchuria. I believe (correct me if I'm wrong) it was the largest amount of land ever captured by an invading army in such a short amount of time and I believe that the successes of the Red Army to completely crush the Japanese army in such a short amount of time was one of the leading persuasions of surrender. Japan had been debating in around 37 or 38 to invade the USSR far east but they didn't even have the logistical capability to really even defeat them in the border wars that they had with them at the time. Japan never actually had the ability to really go up against a formidable military ever during the war whether it be the United States or the USSR. Japan dug it's own grave as soon as it declared war against China, if not beforehand

Great content! Do the Battle of “Las Queseras del Medio”. It’s great you’re doing Ayacucho as well

great video...just depressing.

France fought as well as it was able to. Germany had a lot of practice with blitzkreig before France had to fight. Keep in mind, France declared war on Germany, as the opening move.

still ottoman empire outlived russian empire, lol.

We know who is to blame, there still doing it now, and have been doing it for centuries and will carry on for evermore

Such a mischaracterization of what happened in the East. Massive amounts of Ukrainians & Balts enlisted in the Waffen SS, and were often the most responsible for executions, as they used the Nazi occupation as cover to target political enemies.

ton titre est une insulte aux combattants Français de 39/40 à 45 !! C'est grace aux troupes françaises que les brits ont pu quitter Dunkerque & traverser la manche et se préparer pour la suite .... Dès le mois de Mai 1940 après la reddition du gouvernement félon, en Afrique du Nord, une bonne partie de l'armée s'est rebellée contre le gouvernement Pétain pour combattre les Allemands. Les 23000 "évadés de France" sont venus grossir les rangs de cette armée d'Afrique en Mai'40.

The German's secret weapon was Pervatin.

Thing that before humiliation Ottomans burned Moskow but Russians cant touch Istanbul.

Not only WW2.

☦️

Those Germans must of had some super power powder. A japanese invention so the legend goes

First they came for the Communists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Communist Then they came for the Socialists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Socialist Then they came for the trade unionists And I did not speak out Because I was not a trade unionist Then they came for the Jews And I did not speak out Because I was not a Jew Then they came for me And there was no one left To speak out for me I think is also a very good poem to explain what happened it was gradual.

7:22 keep in mind we din't know who burnt it down, we just knoe that the nazis claimed it was communists, so that they could go after any left winger. As the poem goes.

Also the reson the centre was so poor a check against nazis, was that they were not threatened by hitlers policies in fact the flat tax rate would reduce tax on the wealthy and raise it on the poor and middle class. Being wealthy themsleves meant it was a positive. I think also because they are a broad brush party being in the centre that the kind of rhetoric the nazis use they would flirt with from time to time. There ignorance on politics meant that they didn't understand or know what they wanted to do and hand waved it off when told.

As with all popualist parties they grew on fear (jewish people, socialists and communists) and claimed they had simple solutions to complex problems. They l ied to the people.

Who invaded who?

This is so similar to the Biden admin.. it’s pretty scary tbh. God save us all.

why these people put themselves in the vid?

Vengo de tu canal en español, me gustaría que lo siguieras hablando por ti mismo!

The first lend/lease shipments from the US to the Soviet Union left the US east coast in August of '41. The US did not wait until we were at war with Nazi Germany to send aid to the USSR. Hitler declaring war on the US probably didn't effect the course of lend/lease, if anything, it may have indeed reduced it as the US's need for equipment increased with that declaration.

1).Hitler should have concentrated his forces on capturing Moscow and overrunning all the Russian defense plants. Instead, he split his forces into three parts, wanting to do too much at any one target. 2). He should have never declared war on the U.S., because without that declaration, our people wouldn't have so enthusiastically agreed to go after the Germans, and would have been content to just being a weapons supplier. Instead, he declared war on us, to no clear (at the time) purpose. 3). Hitler never took the time to find out what he was up against. He was later quoted as saying to the leader of one of his allies that if he'd known the Russians had 460 divisions, he would never have attached.

This video is nonsense, Hitler never had the numbers to take over the Soviet Union just like Japan never had the numbers to take over China, Hitler would’ve been overstretched like Japan in China, the further they pushed into the Soviet union only sealed their fate Germany could never keep up with Russia, both logistically and from a manufacturer perspective the only way I could see Germany actually winning is if they dropped a atomic bomb on Moscow something like that would push the Soviets onto the negotiation table. no nukes no victory in the Soviet Union.

Three reasons the French were throughly mauled. Leadership, leadership, leadership.

The similarities on this video with the MAGA movement are many and pretty scary.

Sad period of human history.

Interesting.

Abdul Abulbul Amir, a song that heard on the radio 70 years ago

This is the best "What If" about WW2 I have watched. The narrator gets right to the point. He simplifies the situation so all can understand what was at stake. The outcome was a close call. Germany COULD have conquered the whole of Europe. Don't kid yourself that it had to happen the way it did. Germany's greatest weakness was an amateur strategist at the top. Name was Hitler.

came down to leadership and drive. At the start of the war, the German military leadership, especially the field generals were unparalleled. That along with a unified drive and goal helped Germany.

After early victories during Operation Barbarossa, Hitler could have said: "We have liberated you, Ukraine." He would have had an intrepid people behind him to knock out Russia for good. Instead, Hitler murdered everyone in sight in Ukraine. What a nasty, stupid strategy.

WW I trench warfare mentality. They built the impressive Maginot Line, stuffed it with weapons and men, and waited for an attack. Germany simply went around it through Belgium and the Netherlands and headed a short distance to Paris.

To quote an oft used Anglo German phrase, hind sight is 20/20.

One of the key reasons Nazi Germany lost is Hitler did not keep any of his agreements, when he signed the non-aggression pact with Stalin, he broke the one he had with Japan. So, Japan attacking Pearl Harbor, Hitler declaring war on America, Japan signing a non-aggression pact with Stalin their goose was cooked, it allowed Stalin to free up more troops.

Atomic bomb was developed in 1945 . . . Nuclear bomb a decade later.

Read "The German Crisis" By Hubert Renfro Knickerbocker (1932). It is written as the events unfold.

If it were not for the interference of Britain and France, Constantinople would be in the hands of the real owners,the christians. They were Jealous of Russia,. imagine Britain fighting Russia stop Russia from taking back a City built by the Orthodox christians which was snatched from them by Muslim invaders.

Taking Moscow would likely have done as much for the Germans as it did for Napoleon. The Soviets would've burned it and deny any use to the Germans. The Germans drive south made sense. Oil and grain fields were more valuable to Germany than a remnant of a city.

A lot of this sounds Trump like...

Based on interviews done with Germans alive in the late 1920s/early 1930s a lot of voters were motivated by economic concerns.

Whats sad is that the allies learned almost nothing from Versailles, and implemented similar policies aside from economic austerity. This is one reason why the social fabric of the west is fsilling apart. The allied propoganda of "you are bad and shouod feel bad" has come full circle in the form of toxic wokeness crying about "colonialism" while cheering illegal immigration to western countries. The cognitive dissonance can clearly be traced back to these mechanations.

13:05 talks about ww1, shows ww2

Semites are Arabs as well as Jews. It's a linguistic, not a racial, religious, or national group. You are lacking in wisdom because you fall into the same unthinking acceptance of long-held certainties that are self-evident lies and distortions. The video is about well furrowed fields.

2:55 The comment on this time stamp is incorrect. The 19th century was a very tumultuous century for Europe. There were a lot of revolutions to topple monarchies, wars between countries, and war to establish one, Germany.
