Can you do indo-pak war of 1971 or Bangladesh war of Independence? Many western ppl forget it and just focus on Cuban missile crisis or Korean war as a serious part of cold war but during this war the navies of USSR(which defended India against USA and UK navies) and USA and UK (which were supporting Pakistan and send to attack India's navy) came nearly into a conflict.
Can you please make videos about bulgarian participation in world war one?Battle of Dojran for example
I like the intro for modern wars.
After the the Tecumseh can you make a video about Mustafa Kemal Atatürk.
That feeling when you're an Australian soldier fighting Turks in Gallipoli because a Serbian shot an Austrian
To be precise it was a Serbian thug shooting the hier of Austrian Empire, Prince Fernandez. That is the scale of the incident that triggered that war and that is where each side was fighting on. Then the Allies blamed Germany for everything in
Versaille and asked for full compensation.
@Dylan Drummond exactly. Hitler was a knee jerk reaction to Versaille. Does not justify his ideology at all. But Allies have so many questions to answer as well especially about WW1.
That feeling when you are a Turkish soldier fighting Aussies...because UK promised land (Turkish land, that is) in Europe to Aussies...Aussies traveled half way across the world to take our land...and they ended up going back home. How would you feel if we Turks traveled half way across world to take your land? Kinda like how the Aborigines feel, huh...

Also britian did plenty of stuff without the help of the soviet union and america. They squeezed the axis out of the middle east and east africa. Britian also did most of the fighting in north Africa was well and the British navy was vital in operation torch and the invasion of italy. British troops also played a key role in liberating the benelux and in the italian campaign.
Also britian did give up half of europe to the communists, that was the land that the USSR had occupied after ww2 and short of going to war with the soviet union, which would be devastating for all those involved, they couldnt do much about it except try and stop the spread of communism further.

Fun Fact:
The Gallipoli landings were closely studied by generals in charge of Operation Overlord during WW2, as they wanted to see the mistakes of the landings so that they wouldn’t repeat them in Normandy.
Where did you get that info. Please tell us because it is rubbish.

@@anthonyeaton5153actually it’s 100% correct! British Gen Frederick Morgan began planning for the Normandy landings in 1943. He did indeed study the allied landings on the Gallipoli Peninsula prior to planning preparations for D-Day!

Turks had no food on their own land, ... then I wonder if the Europeans were photosynthetic beings for surviving so long.
Fun fact, as an Australian adult, when I was in primary school we learnt in-depth about Gallipoli, but it wasn't until I was in college that I found out we lost at Gallipoli, they never told us that... Thank goodness the Australian curriculum has changed.
I remember my grade 4 teacher had told us the Allies had won...
In highschool they had a anzac school olay and the guy made it look like Anzac s won. But then me and my brother and cousin’s got up yelling calling him a liar. We even had our Turkish flags ready😂 you cant lie about history.
Atatürk even wrote letters to some dead Anzac soldier's mothers saying "They rest in our land with our people now,don't worry,now they are our child too,we will take care of them" and in school we learned as it was a war of death,it's the only front that Turks really won because they fight so hard to protect our motherland.I don't like that Anzac's deaths in this battle,they died because of UK was wanting a cake named Ottoman Empire...
I had a similar thing with the ANZACs fighting in the Sinai-Palestine Campaign. About 10 years ago (a couple of years after I finished high school) I learnt about the Australian Light Horse charge of Beersheba through youtube. Fast forward to 2 years ago, I was involved in the centenary of the charge in Beersheba.
Not sure which schools you went to, but at least in New Zealand and those I grew up around, no one ever considered it a victory.
While the Russians, who called the Ottomans a sick man, collapsed in 1917, the Ottoman Empire collapsed in 1923.

In fact, it did not completely collapse, the regime changed, it would be more accurate. made by their own people.
There was an Australian friend who i had a chance to meet in Istanbul. We had a conversation about the Gallipoli war. After all the history talk, we hugged and gave each other our gratitudes. She told me that there is a museum in their homelands, exhibiting the facts of this war. And I felt so happy that even though they lost the fight, they still respect us and feel grateful because of the honorable attitude of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, speaking to the Anzac mothers who lost their sons "your beloved children are now also our children and they will rest in peace here". I feel sorry for all the troops all around the world who lost their lives during the warfare. And also proud of my nation for being able to repell the attack. Thanks for the video ❤
I was never taught in school (Australia) that the Ottomans had less soldiers but inflicted more casualties (1/3 less) during the Gallipoli campaign.

that's completely normal .Every country does such things .
did they teach about the emu war too?
Eren Yesil thank you for that diplomatic and kind reply. All humans and nations make mistakes.

Letter from Atatürk to Anzacs:
Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives ... You are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore rest in peace. There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side here in this country of ours ... You, the mothers who sent their sons from faraway countries, wipe away your tears; your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace.

One of the saddest stories I’ve read about Gallipoli was about the attack at the Nek. Two waves of Australians had gone over the top and were nearly wiped out by Turkish machine guns. The Australians were preparing a third assault when a Turkish Officer climbed out of his trench and yelled out in English This is madness, for Gods sake stop it. The third assault went the same way as the first two. What happens when you have ill prepared plans, incompetent leadership at the top, arm chair generals who think they know more than the real generals and contempt and arrogance to an enemy.

@@anthonyeaton5153 I guess for the same reason you Poms will never admit you had some of the most incompetent Generals (Raglan, Chelmsford, French, Percival,…. The list goes on) but rather than admit it just blame the troops, blame the cheating under handed tactics of the enemy.

When the Ottoman entered the war, there were not enough men because of the recent losses (Balkan Wars, Turkish-Russian Wars etc.)

Mustapha Kemal: You can try
Funny but its mustafa not mustapha
He was just a low-ranking officer... The general was Liman von Sanders.
TheCastleConqueror He was yet he refused orders and saved the entire gallipoli defence campaign via moving troops and stopping allies gateway to the capital risking tge possibility of him getting court marshelled or executed..After these actions he got so popular and even the enemy generals spoke of him highly
@@CookieGamerss I know that he had whole his regiment eradicated in an attempt to root out the enemy and promoted for that. I am fine with his name being specifically mentioned because he is the founder of Turkey after all but I just find his role in Gallipoli a bit exaggerated in many many narratives...
In this war, the biggest problem of Turkish army is German Generals. They wasnt know geography of there, wasnt know turkish soldiers characteristic, even how to motivate them. Many times Mustafa Kemal and other officers did not listen their orders , they did what they know.
It's a joy to watch this channel.

"Unless a nation's life faces peril, war is murder."
~ A wise quote by the same Mustafa Kemal Ataturk
He murdered 2 million Armenians and done many genocides on Kurds killing 1 million so basically he killed 10% of his country
@@scg4201 first its 300k then 600k then 900k then 1.6m million and now 2 million ? 😂😂😂😂😂😂 where do you pull these numbers from
@@kanki147 bro he killed 2 million Armenians in 2 years and in all the time he was leader he killed over 1m Kurds he killed Assyrians all together he killed 10% of his whole country in his reign
@@scg4201 look man I'm not gonna say anything about kurds or Armenians but I'm Assyrian myself and my grandfather likes Ataturk too much. Ataturk gave us the freedom in our religion. We can go church today in Turkey thanks to him. Assyrians loves Ataturk for his secular ideas and it won't change. I am an orthodox Assyrian person proudly and I'm proudly thankful for living in Turkey. We are NOT enemy to turks. You're just a stupid hate monger who tries to spread animosity in my lands. Kurds also killed Assyrians in Simele but you wouldn't talk about it right? And i don't hate kurds because of that, so i don't hate turks too. In Anatolia everyone hurted eachother. But also every time everyone fought with one enemy all together.
@@dumanalt2977 didn’t he kills 500 thousand assyrians and 1.5million Armenians and if you add up all the genocides on Kurds he killed roughly 10% of his whole country he barley built any schools all he done was create turkey replace Islam with extreme nationalism and kill 10% of his whole country send Turkish settlers to Kurdish areas as he couldn’t make Kurdish majority places Turkish majority through genocide like he did with assyrians and Armenians but Kurds survived till this day and still fight for independence
Ataturk hated Islam and his past so much he shut down Islamic schools and mosques he also stupidly changed the Arabic alphabet Turks have been using for centuries stopping Turks from reading there past he changed the alphabet to Latin no country near turkey uses Latin alphabet and because of his actions to this day Kurds are being forced to become Turkish and are being forced to kill Kurds and are being systematically oppressed and killed and tortured but no one cares but everyone cares about Palestine but no one cares about Kurdistan or Balochistan because the oppressers are Muslim

In this Battle lot of Muslims from Balkan especially Albanians & Bosnians fought for the Ottoman Empire. My Grandfather told me lot of stories of their family members who fought in this war and thought they were killed but one of the soldiers my grandfather knew met his cousin in the trains very emotional stories of people who suffered lot.

My Great Grandfather was there, landing on the first day at Anzac Cove with the 1st FAB ( Field Arty Brigade ) - 1st Division AIF - theirs was the only 18 pdr landed ashore that remained and silenced the Turk artillery on the first day. He survived nearly 4 months before succumbing to dysentery ( As did thousands ) - and was removed to a Hospital Ship and returned to England to recoup - after which he was taken on strength to rejoin the 1st FAB in France where he fought the rest of the war in France and Belgium until 1918 when he shipped home. What he must have seen ... and endured ... beyond my imagining!
Churchill thought he could conquer Turkey with nothing but battleships. he thought they just had to show up and the Turks would surrender. when that failed he thought that they just had to land troops and the Turks would surrender. it never occurred to him that the Turks would actually fight. talk about arrogance
@@Mmjk_12 look where the ships were sailing , very dumb position where both coasts could shoot at them, they also landed too south and they got flanked.Maybe he should have opened a map
@@sskspartan If they had pressed that attack they would have won - by the time they decided to withdraw, the Turks were out of ammo.
@@sskspartan Unless my history is wrong, those ships had almost broken through the last defensive lines before they turned back, unknowing how close they came to the breakthrough they need.
Churchill made the same mistake in WW2, deploying Force Z thinking Japan would be cowed by a pair of British Capital Ships.
@@Edax_Royeaux Well, the real mistake *there* was surrendering a well-equipped 85,000-strong army in the face of a poorly-supplied 36,000-strong invading force that had an urgent need of rest.
Essentially, the same problem of dithering and incompetence by the British officer corps. 1,000,000x worse than Gallipoli.

Really nice work guys
An interesting fact is that historians call this the last gentleman war
Edit: hey guys can we all just get along now, what became a simple fact turned into a heated debate about the First World War, I’m not one to tell who’s smarter than the other, I mean we all know different stuff but it’s kind of getting outta hand, ps thanks for the likes
Which was a major part of the problem in WWI. Too many proper gentlemen sending troops out to be slaughtered for no gain because they were issuing orders based on the way things had been done, rather than fully taking the new realities of war into account.
It is because neither of sides used weapons of mass destruction such gas warfare which was very common in western front. German officers advised to use gas while claiming that their high ground position is perfect for gas attacks and if Brits had this position they would have used gas against them without any question but Turkish side refused to use them!! So not all WW1 fronts are called as the last gentleman's war rather only Gallipoli...
Actually it runs deeper. The generation that fought the war essentially grew up in the 19th century, most of the beliefs that shaped their worldview were violently torn down by the experience of the war. After it was all over people felt like everything they had ever been told was a lie, western civilization itself was plunged into crippling self doubt. In 1919 WB Yeats wrote this in his poem The Second Coming:
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed,
and everywhere the ceremony of innocence is lost
The best lack all conviction,
while the worst are filled with passionate intensity
@@Torus2112 True, it was the end of an era. But it was also an era that was deceiving itself by styling war into a gentlemanry thing. It never was. At no time. But the veterans of the napoleonic wars were ded by then and the enormous butchery of the American civil war had been widely ignored.
@@ggoddkkiller1342 This isn't true. The British and Germans alike both saw the little potential that there was in gas, and subsequently it's use became rare. Gas was a very inefficient tool to use in warfare and it often failed or backfired due to unfavorable conditions; of which was the norm on the Western Front.

@@---675 Don't see me as a natonalist but we had no supply line between libya and Istanbul. Goverment sended some officiers through British territory. British didn't knew about it because they didn't looked like officiers. Mustafa Kemal ( Ataturk) was one of those officiers . He passex the British territory as a journalist. Those commanders who went to libya organized the locals to grab their own weapons and fight against the Italians. In first they did pretty good tho.
They barely holded the Italians but at least they holded. We lost libya because of the Balkans war . When the Balkan war started we basicallt forced to make peace with Italians in able to focus on the Balkan war. But no lies , they kicked our ass in balkan war :(
@@---675 Because they couldn't even send their army, as British didn't gave access and they didn't have a serious navy. Plus, even local militias defeated Italy, Ottomans surrendered after Italy blockaded straits and Balkan Wars begun, because they couldn't send any force and there weren't any reason and possibility to continue and retake Tripoli.
Everybody gangsta, until Mustafa Kemal Atatürk shows up.

@@sskspartan Nope, the landing sites were fine, as said in the video as-well, the main issue was not pressing home the advantage before the Turks reinforced, don't allow blind nationalism to paint a fake history, also you're blaming Navy overconfidence on the army which wasn't.
why lol?
Even the stupidest fool knows that the battles between the Ottomans under the leadership of Ataturk and the British were just a comedic, designed to show Ataturk as a national hero, but in fact the greatest scum of the twentieth century was ataturk, and his nominal goal was to destroy the Islamic identity of Ottoman Turkey
@@devilmanscott Actually Mustafa Kemal guessed the areas where Entente would land but ignored by Liman von Sanders, Entente landed on the areas Mustafa Kemal guessed. Anzacs was on the move until Mustafa Kemal dissobeyed the orders of Liman von Sanders and take his forces to stop them which he did.
Mustafa Kemal was a tactical genius which many of the historians sees him one of the best military and political leader of 20th century. Yeah Brits's ignorance also effected the outcome of battle but if Mustafa Kemal didn't move his troops to stop the ANZACs Campaign would be over in a day.

Gallipoli was one of the last wars of real gentlemans. After bloody fights they were making breaks to collect their bodies and wounded soldiers. Soldiers were throwing each other cigarettes and food as gifts. They were curing each other's wounded soldiers.
The Turkish officers and commanders refused German offer about the chemical warfare. "Usage of such a fatal instrument was not fair and just," they said. Moreover, such an action was out of the "War Law." They rejected to release poison gas until the end of the war.
During the wars, Australian and New Zealand press often mentioned that the Turkish Army has not been using any chemical warfare and there was nothing to worry. For example, "Otago Times" published an article on 01 November 1915. In this article about the Turkish Warriors, the frankness of the Turks was emphasised as; "the Turks never fire a hospital, they never use chemical warfare. They ceased fire when Triumph has been hit. The Turks are not hypocrites."
Both of my great grandfathers were in Gallipoli, both were officers (beys) one lost an eye (from shrapnel) the other lost an arm. From what I’ve heard they never truly recovered from the war.
Modern Turkey was found on such sacrifices by people.
I wish the world peace.
My grandfather fought there too mate, never spoke of it.
This victory is magnificent and glorious for Turks as the whole super power of the time in their peak of power with countless soldiers couldn’t take Istanbul.
