    Let's not forget Alan Turing in Britain (Bletchley Park) at the time decoding the german radio transmissions (watch Imitation Game) and strategically choosing which battles to win so as not to draw suspicion.

    The Netflix series “WWII In Color: Road To Victory” fifth episode “The Invasion of Italy” goes into a lot of detail about that now overlooked part of WWII. It even questions why America & the British Commonwealth bled so many resources fighting to take Italy. Rome fell the day before D-Day in June 1944 but German efforts to hold central & northern Italy for months afterwards turned the European theatre into a three front war for Germany that became nearly impossible to win.

    4:00 It seems like you’re saying Hitler is placed as head of government because of a 1932 legislative election. I know you’re trying to summarize this part quickly, but I would have said he was appointed Chancellor first, then head of government after a crisis, to avoid making it sound like it was a democratic process.

    • @suzannee6673
      @suzannee6673 Год назад

    His sentence was commuted to life in prison without parole on account of both his service to France during WW1 and his age.
    He was stripped of all his military honors other than his title as Marshal Of France.
    As De Gaulle said of him:
    "His life was successively banal, then glorious, then deplorable, but never mediocre"

    Mongolia was in USSR’s side since 1939 clash with Japan at its border, and Mongolian Peoples Army took part in liberating Inner Mongolia, which is north east China. Also, Mongolia was supporting USSR with supplies such like food, warm clothes and horses etc from the very beginning of German’s attack to USSR.. So, Mongolia was in alliance’s side during the whole time of WWII.

    Quick fact about the civial war in Spain: Hitler, intervened in the Spanish Civil War after Franco seeked for his help. Establishing fashism in Spain would serve his interests in expanding in Europe. Besides, as he was developing new weapons and war tactics, he saw the Spanish civil war as a great opportunity to test these "live".
    The civil war had one of its bloodiest battles in Guernica. Picasso drew a huge painting called "the battle of Guernica".

      Franco, leading the Nationalists, sent a plea for help to Hitler, who, seeing the opportunity to gain an ally or at least a friendly government in Spain, of course agreed. The goal here was to make sure that there is no French-/ Sovietfriendly government ruling Spain and also to secure access to Spanish resources.
      Same goes for the USSR who simply tried to gain a socialist/ communist ally or subject in the Republicans.

    The English historian John Keegan once said the following phrase: "Brazil the forgotten ally". This map reproduces exactly what he said. Brazil declared war on Germany on August 22, 1942 and participated with the Americans with its navy and bases in the South Atlantic campaign in July 1944. a fighter squadron, the first fighter group joined to the American 350 squadron. In combat on the Gothic line in northern Italy between 1944 and 1945, it then dominated all of northwestern Italy capturing Turin at the end of the war and advanced to Susa on the French border.
    After the war Brazil was one of the founders of the UN and until today opens all the speeches being Brazil responsible for creating the state of Israel in 1947.

I saw that the complex World War II can be presented in a simple, coherent and detailed manner through the Geo History channel. Not only that, the use of a world map as a process of describing the events of World War II actually makes it easier for viewers to understand, from the beginning of the causes of World War II to the consequences of this war.

      Austria: I will remain independant whether you want it or not.
      I mean even Belgium and the Netherlands, and the Netherlands and England (remember shared heritage, English people are the closest people DNA wise to the Dutch) couldn't stand each other enough to be one nation. How did he think all Germanic people (this includes Northern Europe) would live happily together under German rule? There were tons of war that germanic and Nordic eventually all just got their own nations. Like be happy over 50% of these two groups live in Germany alone. Leave us other Germanic and Nordic nations alone.

      @@alyssadumas2257 Spain fought a three year civil war before (proxy war between Nationalist Germany and Communist Russia), from 1936 to 1939, where the German-backed fascist dictator Francisco Franco overthrew the Republicans. He did not get heavily involved in World War II, and died in the '70s.

    Nice video, you just forgot that Brasil not only declared war against the axis but also helped in the invasion of Italy.

      @crassgop yeah, but this may cause some people who do not know the borders of the rhur and Rhineland, Historically, both were occupied, but for non-germans (except me since I'm non german and know) may not know the rhur and rhineland are not the entirely same entity.

    The voiceover is too impressive, accompanied by the music behind !! If you don't have any video ideas, can you make a video about the Chinese Civil War? ^^ It"s a rather complex and little known war, whereas I think it is very necessary to talk about it !

    On a lot of channels, these world events on a map videos solely focus on changing borders and/or military engagements. I like how this one, despite focusing on the geography and regime changes, does a lot to put the human toll and resistance efforts in the front and center.

    Awesome video! I love this informational style. It's like Oversimplified but *not* simplified. I'm definitely going to learn about some areas of history I don't know much about. Subscribed.
