Yoo😊
How much effort do you put in each video?
@@ArpanDe Not much, because it id full of inaccuracies. Both Historical and Scientifical....
And Western Hypocrisy and BS.
Griffith we really need an evolution of canons video
I'm gonna be honest i was expecting a HOI4 sponsorship with the new DLC release being so recent to this video lol
I was thinking the same thing.
Same here😂😂😂
they did that before twice. I *think* it was Finland and Ethiopia but not sure. Exact same pattern. I assume they just took the sponsor offering more.
Especially since the dlc adds so much nuclear stuff
Same thing, missed opportunity
Nuclear Power Plants are honestly something that shouldn't be overlooked, or feared. Would save us from so much in terms of waste and gaseous byproducts.
But nuclear scary because Soviets.
@soulknife20
Nah, not just them, people just assume it'll break down and either explode or irradiate everyone, and don't realize that Russia and Japan had very isolated situations occur for them
There's actually some funny things coming from thoae who protested against nuclewr power in the 60s 70s and 80s now stating that they probably shouldn't have protested against it because compared to all the other Technologies we have nuclear is probably the best until we at least get Renewables fully up
@@Shinzon23renewables are half the problem; each sharing a lot of problems. The main issue is storing the energy and being able to produce on demand.
@Real-Ruby-Red both now engineering issues... easily solved. With advances in battery tech that problem is less and less a issue.
If we ever get room temperature superconductors then energy storage becomes a moot point.
You know it's going to be good when ArmChair Historians talks about bombs
Demoman: B O M B.

Bombs just as large as large as how much his game bombed
@@marcomorgen300Damn did it really?
In the name of polish people, I congratulate to you for saying the full, the proper name of Marie Skłodowska Curie
She left her name when she married her husband.
@@alexysaintemarie4259 She used both names, check out the front page of her PhD (it's on wiki, A la faculte des sciences de Paris)
13:00 - your friendly reminder that Uncle Sam has a plan to keep you safe in underground secure luxury shelters, that will have no negative consequences whatsoever, so even with the still present threat of total nuclear annihilation you can rest assured that you can enjoy a brighter future, underground.

Nuclear Power is crucial in the fight against climate change, it provides a critical base load that is always on, something that neither solar nor wond power can do.
But nuclear power also poses a risk of being able to allow other countries to make bigger bombs.
@@Real-Ruby-Redthey're always sitting in there silo so no need to worry
@@Real-Ruby-RedNot if they're thorium reactors. You can't make a bomb out of thorium, and they're more efficient than uranium reactors anyway.
If it's already in capacity tho. We won't fight climate change by switching to reactors that need 40 years to be constructed anew and that's not even with delays
@@lukasholtkamp7614 Better late than ever, simply put the need for power will only increase and thus focusing more effort on Nuclear would be beneficial nevertheless even if it takes time. Not everything can be so quickly done
Thanos: You’re a pencil pushing Terran who never learned to love his bomb.
Stalin: Does the “a” stand for atomic or a**?
oversimplified in a nutshell.
ERB mentioned 💯
You seem to be fixed on the old style Nuclear plants. The new ones are modular, built in factores, and can't melt down. As Japan disaster, it melted down because there was no power to the pumps.They were not allowed to use nuclear power plant to run its own pumps, insread it had to be external power, which was down. Also, the military and commercial companies have been using radiation to sterilize food for over 60 dears. They just don't want to talk about it. If you don't want to burn fossil fuels, nuclear power is the only reliable source.
Nuclear power is not the only reliable alternative source to fossil fuels. Wind in certain regions are just as reliable as nuclear and conventional fossil fuel power stations. Solar (I've worked for the past year modelling solar alternatives to steam boilers in Europe for industrial processes, not perfect but a good option for much of the year, and far cheaper than nuclear). The fuel everyone seems to ignore is biogas. Any source of organic material can be used as a feedstock, the infrastructure is already in place, and the burning of biogas is carbon neutral as the breakdown of organic matter naturally releases the same quantity of carbon dioxide. The issue with the nuclear argument is that people argue for it as a silver bullet, there is no simple, easy answer. To move away from fossil fuels, you need to utilise a range of alternatives for energy security.
I just realized that Armchair Historian _hasn't_ actually done a full, dedicated video about nuclear weapons before, let alone nuclear technology at large, but now that they have, they've become death, the destroyer of history RUclipsrs!
L comment
For some reason yesterday I was reading about nuclear power weapons etc…. And today you posted a video about it…. Man I love you 🖤
16:16 u guys get the feeling that others contend that humanity should not rely on the assumption that everyone fears mutually assures destruction?
Always been interested in nuclear physics but I'm not much of a math genius to figure it all out
Great video man
13:35 Wrong!
It relies on both, since you need the energy of a nuclear fission bomb to start the nuclear fusion bomb.
Precisely! And in most of these bomb designs uranium and plutonium tampers and casings are designed to contribute significantly to the blast yield. In fact the 100 Mt proposed design of Tsar Bomba was designed for about half the blast yield to come from third stage fission reactions of its tamper, which was omitted from the bomb design to cut down on the yield for the test version. Even the term H-bomb is misleading since thermonuclear devices often include lithium for fusion fuel.
🤓 "um actually that's wrong"
I am only joking but the way you said that sounded like 🤓
I don't think anything else fascinates me more than nuclear physics & engineering. Thanks for covering this topic!
Anyone else noticed that they got rid of Oppenheimer on the thumbnail
Still having nuclear weapons while almost "banning" nuclear reactors caused by environmentalist is a big tragedy for humanity.
14:00 sadly we dont have a way of sustained nuclear fusion yet...if we figure that out, we won. almost infinite energy, no way for it to melt down, very little radiation.
Even expanding thorium technology will help immensely in making energy cheaper than dirt, and thus prosperity our destiny
The tech race is certainly on, it is possible that manmade fusion energy that is manageable will come before 2040. The US, China, EU and Britain are the leading figures in this tech race. Presumably within 20 years all of the mentioned above would have harness the actual power of the sun.
You fill me with hope for the future, and i actually learned from the video!
I am a big fan of nuclear energy and its uses, and this video really shows that nuclear energy while dangerous it is just too good to be unused, thank you for making this video
My grandfather claimed that nuclear bomb saved his life. He was Polish volunteer serving on British destroyer during IIWW. When Germany fell, my grandfather was reassigned to the Pacific and he was freaking out. To him and his fellow crewmembers Pacific front was a meatgrinder, that this time they won't be so lucky... His fleet nearly arrived and suddenly war just ended. I felt really strange when I heard this story. I thought that nuking Japan was total overkill but its not that simple. Its bizzare how unpredictible consequences this invention had.
It's kind of terrifying how little these early scientists knew about the horrors they were playing around with.
As Oppenheimer once said, "Now I am become Death. The destroyer of worlds".
@@azurehorizon6097animal mother said that too
So horrible how those scientists invented a bomb that would prevent massive wars several times over
Most of humanity discovering things is like that “lets find out”
They didn't know what they're research would lead, alot of scientific breakthroughs are both good for civilian use and bad cause of military use.
The good in this one is nuclear energy. It's a really efficient method to produce electricity for large areas of populations.
The bad well the obvious, the bombs that are extreamly destructive and holds the wolrd in the MAD doctrine. Who knows when a country will break this doctrine and finally launch but it could soon, later or never. It truly is a maddening time we live in when whole nations can be wiped out in a blink of an eye and many nations have this power.
I’m going to use this to study my chem test
I am a history professor, love your content! I just made a video a couple months ago on the Samson Option! I think many folks would enjoy learning about it.
I also made a video on the Manhattan project and a movie review of Oppenheimer

Hey armchair historian I hope you see that I want you to do a serie about the arab spring in 2011 and all the civil wars and changes that happened in the arab world
Awesome video as usual Grif
The overall quality of this video, very well done.
You know the sight was good when you use the word awesome on a formal document.
history channels closely observe paradox's release schedule, every expansion drives interest in a new topic.
oppenheimer 🔥
We need more nuclear power
we don't need nuclear bros
@@FlagAnthemuntil we get better batteries, yeah we do
Yay, nuclear power ☢️😎✨⚡️
@@svenrio8521 Even with better batteries, to ignore such a powerful and efficient source of power is ludicrous especially in terms of other applications that mandate its use.
Doing a video on battle of cuito cuanavale would be very interesting it was one of the biggest battles in Africa between the South African armed forces and Cuba / Angola its hardly covered at all on RUclips which is sad..
We came a long way from those days and a miracle we lived through the Cold War without being blown to bits. Really a lot of nuts and bolts to figure out.
HOI4 just released a new "Gotterdamerung" expansion today, perfect timing!
Excuse me good sir you put that original thumbnail back to its glory
15:49 the US alone had more than 4200 nukes in 2012 this is completely inaccurate there was nearly 20,000 nuclear weapons still in service.
Maybe with enough videos a whole history of the world could be assembled.
I'm starting to see a pattern with youtube videos, most of them are about nuclear bombs and they correspond with this current global issues we have.
Great video guys! Superb job in maintaining a neutral view in showing the pros and cons of nuclear science ❤
Awesome video thanks
2:32 Chicago Pile 1 definitely did not generate electricity!
I‘d love to see more Historical Videos on scientific topics!
I have become death, destroyer of worlds. - Robert.J.Oppenheimer
Peaceful video with peaceful comment's 😊
I support nuclear energy. Bring it back. Humanity has learned.
“And now I am become death, destroyer of worlds”…
Nuclear power is safe when treated right.
“Britain was able to draw from its involvement in the Manhattan project”
Yeah, that project we started that the Americans then froze us out of.
Yeah, he's basically skipped all of Tube Alloys/MAUD and then forgotten to mention that Britain just carried on with it's own research after the US terminated access in 1946.
Greetings from Los Alamos, New Mexico!
Woah
Now I wanna see him do like a 60 seconds animations or stm like that
People look at Nuclear power as if they fear we are gonna end up like the Fallout universe post apocalypse. Where In reality we might get so advanced we might end up like the Fallout universe pre apocalypse.
"This video was a fascinating deep dive into the history of nuclear technology! ☢ I learned so much about its evolution, from weapons to peaceful applications. The Armchair Historian always delivers top-notch content with great visuals and storytelling. 🙌 Definitely subscribing for more! 👍"
This reads like a school project for leaving comments on social media
@@DaveyBones2376 Instead of quickly judging and saying this "reads like a school project for leaving comments on social media," pause for a moment and consider that there might be a deeper reason behind these words.
Perhaps I am practicing expressing myself, maybe I want to improve my communication skills, or maybe I just want to connect with the world around me and have a small part in the conversations.
Everyone enters this virtual world with a purpose, and mine is to learn and grow.👌👌
@@time_warriors It still reads like a school project for leaving comments on social media.
@@DaveyBones2376 Oops, I guess I got a little carried away playing the literature teacher and forgot this is the real world! 😅
8:10 what is bro doing here he's supposed to be conquering the Earth
Marie Curie did this in France with her French husband Pierre Curie (also a genius, often forgotten).
Armchair Historian, please create a video on the mentioned Marshall Islands.
very cool video, your animation only gets better and better
Nuclear Energy is the future of power.
Early viewers knew the person on the thumbnail was Oppenheimer before it got changed.
The Nuclear Family by Ari Beser. Story of the author’s grandfather involvement in the bombings of Hiroshima & Nagasaki as well as survivors accounts from the aftermath of the bombing.
Once more a lovely video as one truly knows you for. Just one teeny mistake at 10:41 . You used square-kilometers there to indicate distance, yet used the right unit when converting it to miles. I know a tiny bit nitpicking here, but just wanted to let you know.
"Mr. Oppenheimer the biggest bomb ever built that we've been working on for the past 5 years, the ricecooker 3000, has been dropped on japan"
"NOOOOOOOO WTF HOW COULD THIS HAVE HAPPENED?? I CAN'T LIVE WITH MYSELF😭😭😭😭"
seriously wtf was his problem? What did he think was going to happen?
You forgot the fallout over the U.S.A. New Mexico and surrounding states. A movie, with John Wayne, called Genghis Kahn, I think. Most of the actors etc. died later of cancer related illnesses. Young woman, girls, that were playing outside, saw "snowflakes" falling on them. The "snowflakes", were nuclear fallout. I think it's important to give as many horrific situations, when it comes to weapons. I don't think you did forget or did research on these infamous situations.
I think thats kinda debunked. The famous gus on that is a chronic smoker.... a stable example of coalation does not mean causation.
@@aldrinmilespartosa1578 Oh. I understand and agree. It's just, I've heard this on other channels etc. Thank you.
@@aldrinmilespartosa1578 The movie tidbit is actually a common myth, however the young girls who were playing outside and were blanketed with Fallout is very true, it was during the Trinity test.
4:07 skłodowska was not french-polish, she was a fully polish scientist
Exacly, she was just married to a french man, but was fully polish
She was a naturalised-Frenchwoman
One step closer to the Grim Dark Future.
now i am become a commenter, trying to get likes
Just like me
The threat of nuclear power is not nuclear power itself, but the untrustworthyness of mankind.
'In the Hindu Scripture, the Bhagavad Gita, Vishnu took on his four-handed form to impress the Prince Arjuna, as He said - I am Become Death, the Destroyer of Worlds'
Bet she was into that
We got the history and science all in one video. Learned something new today: mother of radium!
Even though the Cold War ended almost 30 years ago Nuclear Weapons are one thing that shouldn’t be messed with even to this day.
I recommend Weinberg's _A World At Arms_ (single volume history of WWII) for a proper historical reckoning of the nuclear bombing of Japan if anyone is interested.
Very interesting
Me with the new hoi4 dlc:
I have become death destroyer of worlds
This wouldve been great if this was released during the release of fallout tv show
Remember that before the USSR had the Tzar-Bomba, the US already had the project "Sundial"; though never realized of course!
What about a vídeo about the contra wars?
As someone from Hiroshima, I cannot express how often I get asked if Hiroshima is safe like I literaly just told you I lived there??? Also the G7???
I suggest watching video titled "The Ant Walkers Of Hiroshima" with stories of nuke survivors. It describes those "normal" effects of using a nuclear weapon on a city.
Little spoiler: conventional bomb don't deglove your skin and leave you alive.
As I see it the only way humanity will stop using Nuclear Power completely is to find a source of power that's greater and maybe safer. Also a little cheaper. But what that could be, I don't know. Nice video.
You might consider the Baltic wars of Independence, for a future video. ^^
Here in 3 minutes 🔥
"Whoops"
-Nuclear Scientist
"Now I become death the destroyer of worlds I suppose we all thought that one way or another"- Julius Robert Oppenheimer father of the atomic bomb
Fallout/S.T.A.L.K.E.R Referencia.
@TheArmchairHistorian You are talking in the beggining of the video about "Nuclear fission". The bombs arent working with nuclear fission but with nuclear fusion
Stuff like this makes us think to this day what would happen if AI gets there hands on this and what would happen then?
I really hope we don't live through a nuclear apocalypse
_and we did not live up to this obligation_
We never do. Could we? Absolutely. We just don't *want* to, on the average.
been to hiroshima ground zero. that building with the broken dome roof is still there; taken over by nature. u can see lots of birds next there now
Hey armchair historian make your amazing RUclips videos on famous war hero’s like Desmond Doss and Louis zamperini SGT stubby and so many others
17:41
Well a steam engine with extra steps
Turning a wheel with extra steps
Why do people have a problem with nuclear plants in their town, but don't have a problem with sending their sons and daughters on nuclear powered ships in the military?
I thougt you would go into more details about chernobly

4:26 guess why she called it POLONIUM
10:03 Oh god, that was horrible... (pay attention to the foreground)
Fallout Reference confirmed!
Nuclear power could be a really important intermediary powersource until we are fully sustainable
So in summary with great power comes great responsibility. Maybe uncle Ben too was a nuclear scientist.
I heard that the country of Belarus in the southern part got a lot of radiation after the chernobyl disaster
