Pretty weird they don't know if they're Americans (who usually know a bit of English history), because English people are/were often called the "Anglo-Saxons": those are the two germanic groups that migrated to Britain in the early middle ages to create later England.
@@xenotypos It's a little more complicated. For instance also Frisians, Franks and Jutes took part in this, well, migration. Furthermore the Saxony around Leipzig, Meißen and Dresden is another Saxony. The Angles and Saxons of the Dark Age lived in modern Niedersachsen (Lower Saxony), Schleswig-Holstein and Westfalia. Simplified: In 1182 Heinrich der Löwe (Henry the Lion), the duke of this older Saxony and of Bavaria was exiled because of several reasons. Later he came back and his descendents could bear the title 'Duke of Saxony', but only rule a little part of the original Saxony. Later they ruled around the cities mentioned before and some day someone started to name this region after the highest ranking title of it's ruler. It'y pretty much the same as with Shakespeare and the coast of Bohemia. Bohemia has no coastline. But it's King ruled also over countries with a coastline. So Shakespeare could mention the coast of Bohemia in one of his plays. Today there are three german states with 'Saxony' ("Sachsen") in there name and three more with regions on their territory Heinrich der Löwe ruled as parts of Saxony. Even a lot of Germans confuse this.
For reference, the bloodiest day in American history was the one day Battle of Antietam. During that day, roughly 23000 soldiers became casualties. And that was during the American Civil War where both sides casualties are counted as American. For the French to lose more than that and on the first day alone is horrific beyond measure.
i think the bloodiest day in france history was on the August 22, 1914, during the battle of the frontiers, some 85 000 casualties including 27 000 dead in one day.For the first 4 months of the war, they suffered 800.000 casualties.
you prolly dont care but if you're stoned like me during the covid times then you can watch pretty much all the new series on instaflixxer. Have been binge watching with my brother lately xD
I'd see no reason to require students to learn about a war that had absolutely nothing to do with them whatsoever. But you are correct on that. They don't teach shit to Americans about history, we are only required to learn American history and most involve learning about the country itself and not other parts of the world
the airport fight in Captain America: Civil War was filmed in Leipzig Airport. Leipzig has the biggest war memorial in the world, the "Völkerschlachtdenkmal", a 280 feet high Dome structur.
Guys dont get offended but some of ur questions really made me laugh. I think this is related by history classes given in america. Europe history itself is the history of the world. Good job btw. Love ur videos ❤
Funfact- the congreve rockets were based on Mysorean rockets of the Kingdom of Mysore, which were acquired by the British after the 4th anglo-mysore war.
Well, only "based on" insofar as both were rockets, and that might not even be true since some sources claimed Congreve was inspired by a device of Irish origin.
When a citizen of an Anglo-Saxon country with an Anglo-Saxon language asked me in this video...what the word "Saxon" means...and if it is a city or whatever...I stared in disbelief at the screen.
I don't understand why the Coalition didn't block Napoleon's single escape route west of Leipzig sooner. At least destroy the single bridge. Any thoughts by anyone?
One of the strategy to encircle the enemy, at least in the Chinese wars, long long time ago. You need to leave the enemy at least one route for them to escape or they will fight as their lives depending on it and you will be in a deep trouble. I think this is done on purpose.
@ViraDrama should also remember that the Austrians were scared by a French counterattack so they withdrawn from there. So by the time they could send men back there it be to late.
Saxony was a German kingdom. Leipzig is a saxon city. Germany was divided in several independent states since 1806.

@Jaxx Mathew Yup, have been using instaflixxer for since november myself :)
I thought the battle of Gettysburg was the bloodiest day
@@AchillesofTroy Its the bloodiest battle but it was a three-day battle. The Battle of Antietam was only one day.
The "Pleiße" (ß=ss) is the name of the river.
American education system seems very lazy
What a dick. Some people are more/less interested than others
It is lazy .
They know nothing about the world. Very few Americans are intelligent and know about the world.

@@snakei3ites164 This is not only lack of education in military history though. It's like a void lol
Bruh 55,000 people lost in one day and you say it is not that much. It was.
They got pretty normalize by the losses by this point. Remember when they started and the saw the casualties?
I agree Vojtech Povazan that is bad in a causality stand point
@@ChicagoReacts People getting blown to pieces and maimed, people disemboweled and made into invalids. Normalized. Lack of empathy and lack of scope

Saxony was a german kingdom, it's citizens called saxons. Today it's part of Germany.

I agree. Thats why NASA has a portrait of Tipu Sultan army firing Congreve Rockets
@@CruelestChrisBut that's true. After the defeat of Tipu, some rockets were sent to England. You can study about it on Wikipedia and other sources.
@@VaibhavGupta-hr8vc
According to some, yes. Wikipedia is bad with anything that's according to some and involves Indian nationalists.
I will still sit here even 8 hours later 😐
you still there bro? almost time.
@@knight.paladin1214 If Paris moves, we will see it in the News.
@@fraso7331 never know, its good to check
@@knight.paladin1214 🤣😂 I knocked out
@@fraso7331 🤣😂 yup
the saxons are the guys from saxony -- saxony has been part of the game in your last 3 videos and were allies of France.
When a citizen of an Anglo-Saxon country with an Anglo-Saxon language asked me in this video...what the word "Saxon" means...and if it is a city or whatever...I stared in disbelief at the screen.
The Pleiße is a river. He was talking about the left bank of the river.
Pleaser is a river. He said so at the beginning of the video. Pay attention!

Great Video 🎬
This is my favorite channel right now 🔔✅🤗
You Dont know who the saxons are in 1813?! Its obvious you were not at Wagram.
You should watch the video about napoelon’s marshal from epic history. So great and epic
10:30 Markleeberg is today a district of Leipzig
No, it is it`s own city.
Epic history ww1
battle of leipzig biggest battle before ww1
saxon is german
They were using men like popsicles in these wars. Thousands of men dying didn’t mean much to these key players at the top
That is what war is. Spending lives to secure dirt.
A soldier accepts he is both expendible and irreplaceable and must hope the former is done with respect to the latter.
