Well, it was kind of true at some point. Shortly before the war ended, german troops who weren't accepting fighting for the third reich anymore, asked an allied army for assistance at a castle, protecting the french people in there from the Nazis.
In Poland we still celebrate our great victory against Korean Empire in Vietnam. I am deeply grateful to our German allies who stood with us until the final victory. Not many people understand that our ancestors's heroic deeds managed to weaken Korea enough to make American independence possible.

No you didnt, the Korea took the chance to invade the US when Japan bombed Pearl Harbour back in the 80s. My grandfather and my father were part of the Resistance and they took our land back to us.

didn't Poland start murdering, raping and pillaging Germans living on its border countryside right before WW2. Hitler asked for peace but was denied and Poland kept killing Germans, forcing Hitler to retaliate.
That is complete bullshit. It's a Russian propaganda talking point. Poland didn't not "invade Czechoslovakia together with the Germans" what utter nonsense.
@@OogaBooga-tq7jc You got them all wrong. Nazi Germany and Poland were never allied, what you are talking about is the non-aggresion pact, an international treaty that was created so that two would put an end to their conflict. In reality it was used by Hitler just as further evidence of his eagerness for peace. You are talking about the 1938 annexation, where Germany and Poland didnt invade Czechoslovakia "together".
@@teodorul9280 Poland saw that Czechoslovakia (My country) was defenseless (Thanks to Germany) and invaded and stole our land. This can definitely be viewed as helping Germany therefore being allied. It didn't go well for them and they got karma pretty soon for it.

I'm Polish. My grandfather told me stories about how during World War II his Polish-German unit was attacked by the Japanese in Pearl Harbor, Vietnam ... fortunately American helicopters came to the rescue with a Panther II tank brigade and his unit won the battle
Apparently I was given all the interest in history, damn I kinda wish we could keep these guys outa the gene pool. As rough as its sounds I don't think they'd notice lol
To be fair a great many of you actually did. What's really weird is how on the other hand a great many Jews fought for the Nazis. Arabs too, they even had an elite Arab paratrooper division defending Berlin to the end. That´s what i love about history, there are so many details no human could possible know it all even if he read a lifetime.
My Grandpa enlisted when WWI began. He was there when George Washington crossed the Delaware into England. After being killed by a gas attack, he fought in the Vietnam War in WWII. He crashed his Huey into a Polish Tiger tank, but survived. He got redeployed in '51 just before the war ended. And then the civil war began in 2002, shortly after the American Revolution, which started in 1995. My grandpa fought for the Germans in the civil war. He was actually led into battle by Kennedy himself. Unfortunately, he died while marching into Virginia, at a battle called D-Day. A droid gunship destroyed his whole platoon. Rest in Peace Grandpa.
My great grand father was there when they fought the no-no Germans and the Polish in Vietnam. He tells me stories of how bad the situation was when the Germans launched Operation Barbarossa and took over Liechtenstein, everyone was desperate. Thankfully when the Japanese invented the Atomic Bomb and threw it on Warsaw and Berlin the war ended. Such a relief that was, sadly the relations started souring when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor in the 80s with their Bombs. Everyone was shocked when out of nowhere the Koreans took over the Japanese and invaded the US. My father was part of the Resistance and he died an hero. I thankfully lived a nice life, since I was born in 1996 when we already had gotten our independence back. This century was really strange, hopefully nothing like this will ever happen again, let's pay our respects to the heroes that fought for our country!
I bet they know, it's just that this information is usually buried deep inside one's head since it's given in school, and they just need to take their time and get this knowlege out. But when some random questions you in the street most people anwser as quickly as possible without thinking and weird nonsense comes out. We have videos like that in Russia, and randoms on the streets also say weird nonsense, even though they most likely know the correct anwser, because it's literally in the school programm.
@@adramalihk3307 Yeah maybe, but in that situation, I would answer most of them correctly. I expect most people to do that as well. Some people are just bad at history.
As a person who tried to convince Koreans in 1995 to let the United States be an independent country I must say I had to learn Korean for over 244 years to finally state my intention and I'm sure this is fact checked information. Also I'm glad to say I fought for Germany against the Nazis in our heartbreaking American civil war
So Germany got its ass whooped by Korea who then snatched the German American 13 colonies away, but later lost control over the colony in the 1995 Vietnam War and were compelled to admit independence. How did Korea beat the German-Polish alliance though? Gives Boston Tea Party a new meaning as well.
It would be sad if Americans think that when the UK and the US haven't been at war with each other since the revolution, and have actually been allies.
@@Zaire82 Even after the wars UK and the US had a ok relationship The US still relied on the UK for trade and the UK at least trusted the US not to start shit
As a Pole I still believe that we should not have withdrawn from Vietnam. It was that close! Now we are trapped in Europe with nowhere to go during winter.
as a pole I agree. Im also very sad that we ended the german polish allance during ww2. our countries have been the bestest friends ever since we helped the germans defeat the nazis in the korean colony of america
Its scary to see how few people actually know about such important historic occurrences. This is the reason these past mistakes are doomed to repeat themselves.
@@enel8219 I can't tell if you're being sarcastic but if not you should've payed attention in history classes cuz this is definitely not historically accurate
It's edited for the memes, you can see that the scene of the people asking the question and the scene of them answering are not aligned. Wonder why they don't have a full uncut scene.
nah the ignorance is the minority its judt that theyve gathered specifically the idiotic answers to make this video but dont take it as an actual statistic for how many people in the USA actually know history.
Man, you met some real history scholars there. everyone seems to get it wrong these days, but im glad someone is actually showing us the correct details of history!
If you've ever thought that they're the most dumb people ever... remember that I thought that London was in America and I thought New York was a country in Europe. I got an +A in physics, chemistry and maths but I got a +D at English, I got +F at social studies... I really suck at Social studies.. well basically "Geography" to be more specific. Ah yeah.. -I also thought that Kuwait was in Africa.. -I didn't know how to pronounce the word "bear" until I turned 12yo. -I didn't know that "Ireland" existed. -I didn't know the difference between Britain and England.. -I didn't know that Mexican people speak in Spanish. But that's all in the past! -Some of them are really from the near past tho💀- BTW I'm 16yo now.. well- I'll turn 16 in 1 month and a few days.
I mean they probably interviewed hundreds of people and took the 3 who gave the answer they were looking for. You could go to any country in the world and get the same thing.
You shouldn't be embarassed, after all you can't do anything about the fact that other people aren't good at history, we have people like them in Europe too😂
@@mastere6115 The problem with the editing is that you can just link answers to different questions. The answers you see people give, could be answers to a totally unrelated question. And they most likely are when there is made a cut. Otherwise there would be no need for a cut. That doesn't mean they all gave the right answers, but some of the most ridiculous ones are just made up.
As a 25 year old who has never visited the USA and lives thousands of miles away, this physically hurt me. This level of ignorance shouldn't be possible, it takes extreme effort.
@@outlandishbottle9279 Common sense should tell you that they also asked a lot of different people and picked the dumbest answers. Cherry picking for clout.
@@shoelacedonkey I do believe they put more dumb answers than right ones but if you actually went to any school in like New York or Cali the more popular states no joke most kids wouldn't know
@@outlandishbottle9279 ok sure, but I highly doubt they would confidently scream that the US got their independence from Korea in the nineties. If a European like me (and I am CLUELESS about what happens in the world) feels like this was cherry-picked or staged, there's a very real chance it was. I'm from Belgium ad a couple of youtubers did something similar for our history with teenagers, and it was also face-palm worthy, but also a lot more natural than how this looked
@@outlandishbottle9279 I am from NY and I won't go into details but just between my myself and my nieghbors growing up.. one is a pilot for an international (good) airline captain, another is a software engineer (architect level), another is an executive at Amazon not sure of his exact position but hes very intelligent, another owns and operates his own photography company and has been successfully running his business for over 15 years now. We all went to an average public school in NY state all with parents who could not afford college for any of us.
This is the perfect representation of having lots of (random) information but not being able to put them together. It's just like information overload from all the media sources, where people just scramble together some sort of sense that isn't in accordance of reality anymore. It's hard to actually process information for a lot of people these days.
As a Historian and as an American I knew this video was gonna trigger me because so many of my fellow citizens do not know history especially our own National history, it shocks, saddens, makes me very concerned for the future. History is Important y’all.
I know right?!? I’ve always absorbed history, but that doesn’t stop the fact that you have to take some sort of history class through all of grade school. People should really start paying more attention to history.
There are ALWAYS cuts between the question and the answer. And it is even more suspicious how they are not very obvious. This Video is fake In my opinion and was purposely cut in a way to make the people interviewed look bad for views. Show the uncut clips of the interview!
yeah this is so painfully obviously edited lmao, the people in the background vanish between the answer and question, but if he just paused a second they would have only moved a bit.
I mean, but it was KIND OF a possibility, right? Heard of Ribbentrop-Beck Pack? There's even a book about what would have happened if such a pact actually came to reality.
@@hellomypeople9070 People in other countries do not approach strangers with the intent of making them appear uninformed by cutting and stitching clips together. When it comes to geographical knowledge, Europeans might have a slightly higher likelihood (around 5%) of correctly identifying or naming countries, particularly those within their own continent. This phenomenon can be partly attributed to the proximity and smaller size of European countries compared to the vast and diverse states of America. However, it's important to note that general knowledge of geography can vary widely, and many Europeans also face challenges in accurately identifying regions outside their own continent, such as countries in Africa.
@@customerservice1565 Also when people are put randomly into positions like this, they panick and say the wrong shit, especially women. Its a documented psychological phenomena. They did this in Germany and France, and the results are pretty similar.
As a German I die too. A very good example of human history tho, is that, if you‘d go back a couple hundred years before 1914 our countries would have been strong allies. I mean… Vienna ? The Winged Hussars and HRE joining up ? And then skip forth and it‘s deserved hatred from your end for the fuckery we did, a couple decades further and we are allies again. Even export our tanks to you guys instead of using them against the very people that actually formed Prussia in the first place more or less. Humans are just strange af sometimes. Not even mentioning the France thing that‘s even more dumb.
@@bananabread2137 i am aware yes xD I sorta drifted away into my perception of how dumb human conflict is and hoe that even gets worse if you look at it over time. That doesn‘t make any war better ofc. I guess my point is that no matter how bad human cultures treat each other most of the time you can either go back a while or look at where they are now and see that there is always some common ground we should use to build bridges instead of bombing them you know ? I for one deeply respect all our neighbors and while I would bever even try to act as if germany never fucked up, we have also done a lot of good things over the centuries and many of those were with all our brother nations around us.

@@gandalf_thegrey i agree to an extent, it wasn't just Hitler that wanted to reclaim former german territories like Danzig and Posen, that were lost after WW1. Mainly because Poland wasn't an independent participant in WW1, because they were part of the Russian Empire at that time. This essentially fueled hate against Polish People who basically did nothing wrong, but were granted a sizeable amount of Land from Germany by the Entente. But yes without Hitler, this reclamation of Territory probably wouldn't have been executed at all
Its a lack of care in our education system for the last 40 or so years. Kids have been taught less and less as teachers became worse and worse all while social activist groups slowly changed whats taught from things like civics and history to focusing on more 'progessive' topics.

@@yusted1 It has literally nothing to do with that. The problem is the underfunding of schools, which is mainly a problem in red states, because democrats actually care about their students.

I have been asked hilarious questions on more than one occasion, questions that a well-educated 15-year-old from Germany could answer without hesitation. I have even found that I know more about the history of the USA than many Americans themselves. I don't want to say that the German education system is top-notch, because it is not, but in my opinion it is far superior to the US education system.

That German-Poland alliance during WWII took me off guard.
didn't Poland start murdering, raping and pillaging Germans living on its border countryside right before WW2. Hitler asked for peace but was denied and Poland kept killing Germans, forcing Hitler to retaliate.
There actually was a German-Polish alliance from 1934 till 1938. They even invaded Czechoslovakia together.
That is complete bullshit. It's a Russian propaganda talking point. Poland didn't not "invade Czechoslovakia together with the Germans" what utter nonsense.
@@OogaBooga-tq7jc You got them all wrong.
Nazi Germany and Poland were never allied, what you are talking about is the non-aggresion pact, an international treaty that was created so that two would put an end to their conflict. In reality it was used by Hitler just as further evidence of his eagerness for peace.
You are talking about the 1938 annexation, where Germany and Poland didnt invade Czechoslovakia "together".
@@teodorul9280 Poland saw that Czechoslovakia (My country) was defenseless (Thanks to Germany) and invaded and stole our land. This can definitely be viewed as helping Germany therefore being allied. It didn't go well for them and they got karma pretty soon for it.

My Grandpa enlisted when WWI began. He was there when George Washington crossed the Delaware into England. After being killed by a gas attack, he fought in the Vietnam War in WWII. He crashed his Huey into a Polish Tiger tank, but survived. He got redeployed in '51 just before the war ended.
And then the civil war began in 2002, shortly after the American Revolution, which started in 1995. My grandpa fought for the Germans in the civil war. He was actually led into battle by Kennedy himself. Unfortunately, he died while marching into Virginia, at a battle called D-Day. A droid gunship destroyed his whole platoon.
Rest in Peace Grandpa.

HISTORY SHOULD NOT BE CENSORED!
My great grand father was there when they fought the no-no Germans and the Polish in Vietnam.
He tells me stories of how bad the situation was when the Germans launched Operation Barbarossa and took over Liechtenstein, everyone was desperate. Thankfully when the Japanese invented the Atomic Bomb and threw it on Warsaw and Berlin the war ended. Such a relief that was, sadly the relations started souring when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor in the 80s with their Bombs. Everyone was shocked when out of nowhere the Koreans took over the Japanese and invaded the US. My father was part of the Resistance and he died an hero. I thankfully lived a nice life, since I was born in 1996 when we already had gotten our independence back. This century was really strange, hopefully nothing like this will ever happen again, let's pay our respects to the heroes that fought for our country!

This phenomenon can be partly attributed to the proximity and smaller size of European countries compared to the vast and diverse states of America.

@@yusted1 well, they all know that America is a greatest country in the world and it have moral right to judge everyone, so not a big deal.
@@yusted1 It has literally nothing to do with that. The problem is the underfunding of schools, which is mainly a problem in red states, because democrats actually care about their students.
If it were really social activists that destroy the school system, then you'd think that students in blue states are worse at history, but the opposite is the case. On average, students in red states know significantly less about history than students in blue states.
Funny how people like you take a video where they asked United States citizens questions but only recorded the dumb ones as facts
Without knowing if these answers were common or the interviewer had to sort through many to find those he wanted to put on RUclips to say if many Americans are so lacking in knowledge about their history.
These answers apply to 99% of Americans. Utterly clueless.

It’s depressing that me, an Australian, knows more about American history then some Americans do
Edit: Thanks for 696 likes guys.
I was in Atlanta once. Im from Germany. They asked me if i came by Car. Among other ridiculous things, many Americans think the World is 6000 Years old. They are lost.
Die denken die Welt gab es erst seit deren Geburt?

I was literally about to comment the exact same thing
Florida, New York, Texas, and California are basically different countries.
@@mgkpraesi I can't name a single person who thinks the world is 6000 years old. Sure, there are some that may think that, but it's such a small number that I wouldn't say it's even remotely appropriate to apply that to "Many Americans"
As a history nerd, I'm currently in the fetal position crying my eyes out.
be relieved that the interviewer is an asshole who cut around in the interviews to make it look like they were answering falsely.
me too
I found it funny though
Same bro....same....
Bro he must have asked them for fake answers or something, there is no way anyone is THIS stupid
As a polish guy, yes this is all true, I remember my great uncle telling me stories about how he fought in vietnam with the germans in WW2, the vietnamese with the help of the koreans (?) stopped the germano-polish alliance from winning.
As a korean, I sincerely apologize that we used 'Agent Orange' against you and germans during WW2.

“Germano-Polish alliance” is the biggest oxymoron I’ve heard
Unfortunately the Brits jumped in to prevent this from happening in March 1939.

Luckily the Japanese turned the tide when they bombed the German fleet at Pearl Harbor, allowing the Axis to end the war and making our countries Korean protectorates. 🤗

I'm an American and history buff. My brain had a legit meltdown. I also surely hope they were trolling.
most of the americans dont really know a lot in history they are the same people who say war in ukraine started in 2022 you are just special one

You realize these are edited to make the people look stupid right?

hello I am doing survey if the term yankees is offensive to you or not or if you just don't care, and what state are you from (or which part of 🇺🇸 you live south or west)
I am German and have been to the USA several times. I know that there are many really smart people in the USA, but large parts of society are simply undereducated. I have been asked hilarious questions on more than one occasion, questions that a well-educated 15-year-old from Germany could answer without hesitation. I have even found that I know more about the history of the USA than many Americans themselves. I don't want to say that the German education system is top-notch, because it is not, but in my opinion it is far superior to the US education system.
I am so glad the college tuitions in the US are so high, imagine all those people getting proper education for free! That would be insane.
All of this is taught in free public high school (or even middle school.) Look at how well "Free Education" has taught these masses, and weep as you know in your heart that your liberal agenda is disgusting and vile.
I’m getting mixed messages from this
@@The-Devils-Advocate Yep, that's the joke
That's stuff you learn from Highschool bruh

Its scary dude.
Don't. Apart from bombs you guys bring also joy to the world 😂
most of this is fake, the questions and their answers are usually 2 different clips that were cut together
@@Dusk135 Pheww, That is such a relief to know.
You don have to apologize.
Americans de-evolving is your problem, not ours.
I'm sure there were plenty of people that new the answers to the questions but they won't be features here. That's the magic of editing. This is why that whole country is so misinformed on everything. They only hear a narrated version of events that fit the agenda of who is providing the information.
I learn a lot about US history from the Average American. I have so much respect for the brave men who died fighting for independence in 1995.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
you can clearly tell its cut lmao
@@JEEM346 you sound like youre offended lmao, I dont blame you tho

how did you do
dont believe in this bullshit, how about u interview people urself?
@@sigma.batman.rizzler it's a joke lol
This won't help you pass, but it will help you understand what Americans think you should put on the test.
Don’t forget the major battle between coke and pepsi.
That feeling you have when you realize most full-grown adults know less about history than you did in elementary school.
facts
these videos are (mostly)edited in ways to make people seem dumb
@@RealFakeSimsl yeah I noticed that to, bro probally asks people other questions and clips the answers onto previous asked questions to make them look extremely dumb. I know that americans are stupid, but aint no way a normal functioning human is this dumb
@@RealFakeSimsl ya its just hard to watch
Well not primary school as we weren't taught about other countries so much. But blater on in life...
How is this not political? I mean what kind of people are we imagining who vote Republican?
