@@ornament_of_throne12346 India was colonized by islamic and portugese invaders, Remainder to you that there is no Pakistan before 1947, so your argument falls flat!
I want to thank you for making an informative video on this war. My grandfather served both Indi-Pakistan wars as combat engineer. He unfortunately passed away earlier this year. He was a rough and stern man but had a caring personality.
The more you make videos the more I learn about history I might have never learned about because high school and college classes can be limited in certain areas. Keep doing what your doing.
@@Ferociousplayz_11 Well beated on both side... India captured 15,010 km Sq. in western sided but returned as a gesture of goodwill in Shimla agreement. (Written in Shimla agreement and signed by both head of government) India gained 883 km Sq. in Kashmir reason and kept it till now. While Pakistan gained 53 Km Sq. and kept it. (Because there wasn't any border recognized in kashmir before, afterthat it became Line of control)
@@shivanshsingh7593 Pakistan literally had An sales embargo, the Pakistani Military was already exhausted with the Operation searchilght and suppression of Bengalis there. The only reason Bengal got independent was because of two things 1- Indian intervention 2-Lack of development and security measures there
@PakistanicountryBall1 sure if your idiotic leaders had accepted the six points none of that would have happened. Well if they were smart enough then nothing would have happened. Remember it was the famous East Bengal Regiment that saved Lahore and Sialkot
I am sure that this comment section will be very civilised and focused on historical facts instead of pure nationalism. Here before it gets turned off.
@@gracefulassassin6845 1971 wasn't a sequel to this war. It was an entirely different conflict. 65 was focused on Kashmir while 71 was focused on East Pakistan
The kargil area has been always vital. 1-the guy in the vid didn't cover this, India would take some Pakistani peaks during the 1965 August war in Kutch as a response of Pakistan intrusion But would surrender those peaks, operation ablaze 2-in 1947 Gilgit scouts would capture Kargil, Zojila and even advanced towards Leh But due to no help of supplies from high command had to retreat back to skardu. 👍🏻
Fun facts :- 1. During the peace conference in tashkent USSR the Indian prime minister died mysteriously . 2. during this time, the Indian Prime Minister from tashkent , USSR signed the documents of permission for beginning of nuclear programme of India . Subsequently, India will move nuclear bombs, but will never test them until much later . 3. During this time, the CIA got its biggest most important lead on the Indian nuclear project by hearing the conversations between the Indian prime minister and the people sitting at Indian nuclear ☢️ facility , which later compelled them to kill the head of Indian nuclear department Sir Homi Daba by bombing his plane . 4. The 3rd point’s legitimacy can be checked by the book, written by CIA head of Asian division where he wrote in his book of how CIA was involved in the murder of Indian scientist .
I would dispute the fact that Pakistan and this war was the reasoning behind the push for the bomb. In 65 and 71, China has threatened India with use of nukes if we didnt withdraw. It was this threat that spurred the development of nuclear weapons in India.
Fun fact: Lal Bahadur Shastri used to be my neighbour. His house is just in front of mine. It is in Ramnagar, Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, India. Jai Jawan Jai Kisan. Jai Hind. 🇮🇳
This is a dream come true.I always wanted armchair historian to make more videos about wars in indian subcontinent.I hope you make videos about 1971 and 1947 indo pakistan war too.
I actually genuinely want a video on the whole 1952-1971 history of Bangladesh's Liberation movement from the armchair historian. As well as an in-depth video on the Liberation War itself and the battles it had. The Liberation War doesn't get much coverage on RUclips.
India dint invade Pakistan after Gibraltar. In fact after the failure of Gibraltar Pakistan lauched full scale attack to cut off kashmir...in response India opened the sialkot and lahore fronts.
Operation grand slam would be successful. My father told me that General Akhtar Hussain Malik was about to take Srinagar. But Ayub Khan replaced him with his favourite Yahya Khan. And that change in command led to a delay which was able to let India bring reinforcements. Pakistan waged battle in disputed territories. India attacked an internationally recognized border. It was a failure of Pakistan to even realize that India goes to full lengths to defend itself. They made this mistake in Kargil too where they sent a very small group of soldiers and India sent a whole battalion lol.
@@Xazzer81 Pakistani people are begging all over the world today because of these policies...in 65 la whore was in danger when ayub surrendered and in 71 93000 soldiers dropped their pants lol 😆 😳 🤣

I am an Indian student studying in a foreign land, and some of my good friends are Pakistanis. We talk often about the wars fought between our countries. And though we're all fiercely loyal to our own countries and armies, the discussions we have are very civilized. I say this to acknowledge your unbiased factual retelling of the events that happened. You are an amazing channel, and ive been following you and watching the content you put out for a couple of years. I hope you keep up the amazing work ❤
All these comments saying “there will be a war in the comments” but in actuality I just see comments from Indians and Pakistanis saying the war was pointless and stupid. What is more interesting are the ones from Indians and Pakistanis abroad telling stories about their parents and grandparents who served in the war…
Tbh Kashmir really isn't a big land to provide any economic benefit and it has no resources, the war was too stupid for both countries to continue it till today.
@@hippospoop1871 It has become a far too large political tool for both the countries. This conflict is the cornerstone of right wing politics of both India & Pakistan. No leader in their right mind will let go off this.
@anirecapped. Depends on where you stand. If you're investor at Lockheed Martin or Raytheon, it's not stupid at all, it's a threat to every democratic citizen of the world.
@@ShadowReaper-pu2hx It's not the decolonisation but the hasty decolonisation and the parting kick by the british colonisers of drawing unnatural borders of both the countries in 1947.
My maternal grandfather fought in the 1965 war in the Akhnoor sector. They had entered into Lahore towards the end of the war. He had an interesting story as to how they entered Lahore. Pakistan being a military dictatorship back then, the army had control over the TV and radio. So they broadcast as to how the Pakistani army had captured Delhi and was returning back home victorious. So when they saw the Indian army coming into Lahore, the Pakistanis actually started greeting and cheering the Indian army, thinking it was a victorious Pakistani army they were greeting. And then, complete chaos ensued.
Indian Army didn't actually enter or capture Lahore. The furthest we reached was Batapur which is on the outskirts of Lahore. Lahore was surrounded by heavy artillery fire so we could have easily captured Lahore but the USSR and US put pressure on us to sign the Tashkent agreement and our PM mysteriously died in the conference...
@@intellectualcucumber he/she said we reached lahore. Never said captured it. The soldiers could have entered the outer part of lahore before UN/US interfered.
My grandmother was in goa when the invasion occurred. She is a goa native. There was a discontent against Portugal in goa. Edit: There is a guy in the repiles spewing hate.
@@BigBrotherTheWatcher1984 she is from goa. Portuguese put bombs in their well for scorched earth. My grandmothers family was completely unaware. Those bombs were then found by the Indian Army and they were told to evacuate. There was an active movement against the portuguese in goa to join india. People who keep saying "fREE gOA!!" should shut the hell up. They dont even know where Goa is and its history. People wanted to escape the tyrannical rule of the portuguese and join india.
From what I’ve heard the British actually wanted to keep India and Pakistan united, but the Pakistanis wanted a Muslim state and the British had to accept the reason Bengal was added to the new Pakistan is because they’re Muslim. Though they have different cultures. I’m not Indian by the way I’m African.
@@legendrogue237im afraid your wrong, im not denying that britian would purposely divide and conquer and draw bad borders, but in the case of the colonisation and occupation of the Subcontinent, the Muslims and Hindus already didnt like each other, it shouldnt be surprising that not everyone in an entire subcontinent now with the population of 1.8 billion people want to be united when they have major cultural differences
why on earth would a pakistani pashtun be "united " with a north indian bihari? This idea that india and pakistan aren't both colonial countries is hilarious. The only "unity" they had was under British rule ironically
@@adadadadaadadadyep now as soon India takes back it's rightful land i.e. pojk we will have nothing to do with paxtanis or their any no of buzzlims for that matter .
1:39 - 2:00 correct me if i'm wrong, but the kashmiri king did not accede to india like that. pakistan and india had a standstill agreement, as the king wanted to stay indepedent. upon the violation of the agreement by pakistan, the king ran to india for help, who then twisted his hand into accession with india. "pakistan responded to the accession by invading" would be the wrong order of events here. just a correction i'd like to point out, loved the video!
Yes, the video is wrong here :) I hope he comes across a few comments here and fixes it. Pakistan invaded on 22 October, the accession happened in response on 26 Oct.
He wasn't arm twisted why should we fight and loose soldiers for no good reason it was give and take and to us he gave which half you people are in illegal possession of temporarily though because of spineless nehru forget you paxtanis we even lost land to china cause nehru didn't want to use them Indian airforce in 1962 and because of elevation and backward technology Chinese had no aircrafts none near the borders we could have won even with our shitty aircrafts but alas nehru in anycase the golden days for our neibours i.e. nehru and congress days are gone now if you mess around with us you will get hit back in kind sooner or later.
Pakistan knew India would simply annex the land anyways regardless of the Hindu leaders decision (which would likely have been to accede to India anyways) like what they did in Hyderabad who wished to remain independent. Revisionist Indians and their delusions
Yea, he glossed over that. It was local tribesmen that wanted the king to leave. The king asked India for help, the tribes asked Pakistan for help, and all hell broke loose.
They(Pak govt) tell us it was skirmishes which led to no political or Geographic change It’s your(🇮🇳 govt) which tell you lie that 1965 “WAR” was great indian victory when in reality it was a border conflict without any result or change
@@tsf2615 Not by a country mile. It was Pakistan that invaded, not India. It was Pakistan that lost more territory. Most territory lost by India was in the desert or the snows in Kashmir, while Pakistan almost ended up losing Lahore. The only aspect in which India lost more than Pakistan was in the numbers of aircraft lost. Make no mistake: India won the 1965 War. In fact, Pakistan has never won a war to date against India. If those numbers aren't enough, consider this: These losses are part of what catapulted the Pakistani Army to become the dominant power in that nation's politics, and we are still seeing the results today, where India is gradually becoming a military, economic, and geopolitical superpower, while Pakistan is setting records of how many times they can scam the IMF. Both nations have their faults, yes, but India is rectifying them gradually, while Pakistan is only epitomizing itself as the perfect example of a failed state.
The Maharaja of Kashmir wanted to remain independent but Pakistan armed Tribal militias invaded Kashmir, The jihadis targeted Sikhs and Hindus, even moderate muslims, plundering, looting, killing, and kidnapping women and children. They also forcibly converted some women and left a trail of bloodshed and fear. The Maharaja backed into a corner asked India for help but Sardar Patel(Home Minister) said India will only send in army if Kashmir officially joins India, October 26, 1947 Kashmir officially joined the republic of India. Indian army then entered Kashmir to kick out the Pakistani invaders, But our great PM Nehru being naive went to the UN hoping that UN will support India as Kashmir according to all international law belongs to India but the UN asked both parties to come to a ceasefire, which caused Kashmir to be partitioned and half of Kashmir is still occupied by Pakistan, if only instead of trying to become a international hero , Nehru initiated military action then the entire Kashmir issue would have never even existed.
@@Ayush_Vikram maharaja signed the document of accession to which there was an armed response by the Pakistani side. Please stop reading your indian propaganda and ACTUAL read credible sources. God, you are just embarrassing yourself
@@alldadamnusernames4930 brother what are you even saying, The Pakistanis invaded and in a response to the invasion the Maharaja had to request India for military aid, which Indian government said will only come if Kashmir officially joins India. Just do one Google search and you can read the truth yourself. Dont push this Pakistani propoganda
Thank you Griffin. Let me tell you, both nations have had their own spin on the war. From the extensive reading I have done through various resources, I wouldn't have been able to summarize this war in 17 minutes but you've done a great job here. On another note...At least a significant portion of our populations (India & Pakistan), particularly those born in the 90s and beyond, would like to have sustained peace and a rekindling of good relationships. We are one people who were divided by our colonizers and if not geopolitically, then at least socially - we would wish to put the past behind us and grow together.
The liberation war is not Indo-Pakistani war. The Indo-Pakistani war was on the western front that only lasted 2 weeks. Somehow Indians think that the victory is only attributed to them thanks to heavy glory seeking Indian propagandists.
@@kalochhaya 71 war lasted only for 2 weeks on both front and it was fought between India and pak so yes it's Indo-Pak war, Indian don't think about that we got a lot other things to think about but without India's intervention east pak would be still fighting for independence
One correction. Pakistan attacked Kashmir before the king decided to join india. The king had no option but to join India when Pakistan attacked them while both countries waited for 1 year after independence for his decision. India though annoyed waited for the king to decide, while Pakistan decided to annex it by sending tribal mercenaries like insurgents into Kashmir. They were too disorganized to capture too much land before king Hari Singh asked India that if they'd help he will succeed. It was believed back then that Kashmirs king wanted to be an independent nation like Sri Lanka or Nepal. But these were only discussed in closed doors cause no king would like to admit he has to give up his kingdom against his will, if he wanted to be with india then why unnecessary deaths cause you stalled it for a year, if you wanted to be with Pakistan why will you admit that when you have made a deal with India? So we will never know. Great video ❤️
@@spacebubble608 Was there any plebiscite for partition? No. Cong, brits and ML just decided it without discussing with public. Did the people of Peshawar and KP region (who demanded Pashtunistan) get a plebiscite? Did the hindus of Umerkot get a plebiscite? Did the people of 566 princely states get a plebiscite? What's so special about Kashmiris that they get a "right of self-determination" while the others don't?

My granfather was in the Assam Regiment of the Indian Army,joined in 69 and fought the war in 71..i am not so sure where he was exaclty but he was either in Gujarat,Punjab or Rajasthan..somewhere on the Western Front in 71..he talked of how they captured few towns and forts and were so close to Lahore..how he often saw Pakistani jets flew into India..i really should ask him more information about the war..

Well done!! Have done justice to a sensitive topic. No complaints!! PS- Shastri strangely died of a heart attack in Tashkent, Uzbekistan (then in the Soviet Union) on 11 January 1966, one day after signing a peace treaty to end the 1965 Indo-Pak war, many experts claim that he was poisoned.

Speaking of that could do one on Pakistan's role in the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan of 1979 or deal the whole war there since at the time the US really thought Osama Bin Laden was a cool dude to deal with. Anyway may tell Griffy about that.
Really good also another part I can also think about and is the most famous and if he hasn't already done it the 1979 Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan and be really interesting also involved Pakistan, USSR and the USA.
@@Freelancer-kd4zr Really seems to be the case there anyway really Google that there may have been other countries involved as well and also at the time when the Soviet Afghan War was going on Osama Bin Laden and the Taliban well before that was formed seemed like cool dudes at the time since they were fighting the USSR boy did it come for harm later on.
@@kellychuang8373 Facts. When the Soviet Afghan war was in full swing, many countries were working together to free Afghanistan from communism. The mujahadeen were formed and later we’re so effective they managed to kick the Soviet out of Afghanistan in 10 years with 50,000 killed or wounded soldiers. Then eventually there was a splinter faction in the mujahideen which later became the Taliban. In a way it’s kind of depressing to see that after all the war that was fought in Afghanistan, the country just seems to go from one oppressive government to another.
@@Freelancer-kd4zr Really do have a point and could tell Armchair about that also speaking of other wars this country involved itself in besides the Soviets could tell Armchair about these ones as well the Anglo-Afghan Wars of the 1800's and 1919 anyway give that a Google as well involves the British and also this was no cakewalk unlike what the people at the time was expecting anyway may want to tell him about that as well.

The mahraja chose to remain neutral, not joining India or Pakistan. Unfortunately, the Pakistani establishment believed that because the raja was a Hindu, he would eventually join India, which led to a Pakistani army-led Kabali attack on independent Kashmir. To save Kashmir from Pakistani occupation, the maharaja requested Indian army assistance, which PM Nehru denied. The PM informed the Raja that the army would only be dispatched if he chose to merge Kashmir with India, which is why Kashmir joined India.
Indian Lt Gen Harbakhsh Singh’s book on 1965 war quotes the following: "On September 6, XI Corps launched a surprise attack at 4am, led to the crossing of the Ichhogil canal and the capture of the Bata shoe factory on the outskirts of Lahore by 11am. But the senior commanders could not cope with the situation and ordered a withdrawal to the east bank of the canal [BRB Canal] by that evening". Congress Leader Capt Amarinder Singh: “India almost lost Amritsar in 1965 war” Fifty years after the 1965 Indo-Pak war, deputy leader of Congress in the Lok Sabha, Captain Amarinder Singh, has shed new light on an order allegedly given by the then Army Chief to withdraw Indian Army troops in Punjab, which could have led to the surrender of Amritsar.
In Line of Duty: A Soldier Remembers, according to Zia Sensations, the editor of Dawn, Lt Gen Ayub Khan reveals that not only "did Gen Khan play a very important role in the entire surrender at poonch, he was so nervous as to be on the verge of losing half of Punjab to India, including the city of Rahimyar Khan. Khan describes, in clinical detail, how our own offensive in the Lahore sector had come unhinged. The general commanding the division on Ichchogil canal fled in panic, leaving his jeep, its wireless running and the briefcase containing sensitive documents that were then routinely read on Radio India during the war and Pakistan surrendered 20000 soldiers after that. Ayub Khan wanted to court martial him, Yahya Khan let him get away with resignation.
It was an invasion, whether you believe that it was justified or not it was undoubtedly an instance of India putting troops on soil that did not officially belong to it.
Seriously people sayings this, how Portuguese come there? Portuguese colonized part of India i.e Goa for some time just like British colonized US. We took it back to unify into one single nation. It was always been part of India. Strange that people comes and comments on this without having any knowledge.
Subcontinent incomplete partition during 1947 without Khalistan, Dalits and Christian separate country. Presently only 5% Hindu Brahmin are enjoying all authority and power in India.

The 1965 war may have been useless for both India and Pakistan since they were still back to square 1 with no side gaining anything but I see it as a win for Bangladesh. It was the Bengali troops of the famous East Bengal Regiment that saved Pakistan in Lahore and Sialkot which led General Yahya Khan the army chief of Pakistan increase the number of battalions in that regiment. These additional troops were vital to build up the Bangladesh Forces during the Liberation war of 1971.
Hilarious how Pakistan started this war to conquer kashmir, Failed to capture it and much of lahore streets ended up getting patrolled by Indian troops until the peace resolution was passed. (Chawinda battle only halted the Indian advance, it didnt expel Indian troops out of Pakistan, the peace treaty caused Indians to leave pak). Soon few years later, Entire eastern pakistan and it's capital dhaka would fall to Indians who will also capture numerous parts of sindh in the west.
@@sarwatj5751 you didnt capture anything, nor could you defend lahore fully, if UN didnt declare ceasefire, we would be having several parts of lahore today lol.

2-in 1947 Gilgit scouts would capture Kargil, Zojila and even advanced towards Leh But due to no help of supplies from high command had to retreat back to skardu. 👍🏻
The sequel to this war is still not out and paxtanis should pray that it never gets out.
Fun facts :-
1. During the peace conference in tashkent USSR the Indian prime minister died mysteriously .
2. during this time, the Indian Prime Minister from tashkent , USSR signed the documents of permission for beginning of nuclear programme of India .
Subsequently, India will move nuclear bombs, but will never test them until much later .
3. During this time, the CIA got its biggest most important lead on the Indian nuclear project by hearing the conversations between the Indian prime minister and the people sitting at Indian nuclear ☢️ facility , which later compelled them to kill the head of Indian nuclear department Sir Homi Daba by bombing his plane .
4. The 3rd point’s legitimacy can be checked by the book, written by CIA head of Asian division where he wrote in his book of how CIA was involved in the murder of Indian scientist .
As a Pakistani,never knew Indian nuclear programme began that early
The most US thing ever
I would dispute the fact that Pakistan and this war was the reasoning behind the push for the bomb. In 65 and 71, China has threatened India with use of nukes if we didnt withdraw. It was this threat that spurred the development of nuclear weapons in India.

Indian Army didn't actually enter or capture Lahore. The furthest we reached was Batapur which is on the outskirts of Lahore.

upon the violation of the agreement by pakistan, the king ran to india for help, who then twisted his hand into accession with india. "pakistan responded to the accession by invading" would be the wrong order of events here.
just a correction i'd like to point out, loved the video!
Yes, the video is wrong here :)
I hope he comes across a few comments here and fixes it. Pakistan invaded on 22 October, the accession happened in response on 26 Oct.
He wasn't arm twisted why should we fight and loose soldiers for no good reason it was give and take and to us he gave which half you people are in illegal possession of temporarily though because of spineless nehru forget you paxtanis we even lost land to china cause nehru didn't want to use them Indian airforce in 1962 and because of elevation and backward technology Chinese had no aircrafts none near the borders we could have won even with our shitty aircrafts but alas nehru in anycase the golden days for our neibours i.e. nehru and congress days are gone now if you mess around with us you will get hit back in kind sooner or later.
Pakistan knew India would simply annex the land anyways regardless of the Hindu leaders decision (which would likely have been to accede to India anyways) like what they did in Hyderabad who wished to remain independent. Revisionist Indians and their delusions
Yea, he glossed over that.
It was local tribesmen that wanted the king to leave. The king asked India for help, the tribes asked Pakistan for help, and all hell broke loose.

Trueee @@tsf2615
@@tsf2615 Not by a country mile. It was Pakistan that invaded, not India. It was Pakistan that lost more territory. Most territory lost by India was in the desert or the snows in Kashmir, while Pakistan almost ended up losing Lahore. The only aspect in which India lost more than Pakistan was in the numbers of aircraft lost.
Make no mistake: India won the 1965 War. In fact, Pakistan has never won a war to date against India. If those numbers aren't enough, consider this: These losses are part of what catapulted the Pakistani Army to become the dominant power in that nation's politics, and we are still seeing the results today, where India is gradually becoming a military, economic, and geopolitical superpower, while Pakistan is setting records of how many times they can scam the IMF. Both nations have their faults, yes, but India is rectifying them gradually, while Pakistan is only epitomizing itself as the perfect example of a failed state.
The Maharaja of Kashmir wanted to remain independent but Pakistan armed Tribal militias invaded Kashmir, The jihadis targeted Sikhs and Hindus, even moderate muslims, plundering, looting, killing, and kidnapping women and children. They also forcibly converted some women and left a trail of bloodshed and fear. The Maharaja backed into a corner asked India for help but Sardar Patel(Home Minister) said India will only send in army if Kashmir officially joins India, October 26, 1947 Kashmir officially joined the republic of India. Indian army then entered Kashmir to kick out the Pakistani invaders, But our great PM Nehru being naive went to the UN hoping that UN will support India as Kashmir according to all international law belongs to India but the UN asked both parties to come to a ceasefire, which caused Kashmir to be partitioned and half of Kashmir is still occupied by Pakistan, if only instead of trying to become a international hero , Nehru initiated military action then the entire Kashmir issue would have never even existed.

One correction. Pakistan attacked Kashmir before the king decided to join india. The king had no option but to join India when Pakistan attacked them while both countries waited for 1 year after independence for his decision. India though annoyed waited for the king to decide, while Pakistan decided to annex it by sending tribal mercenaries like insurgents into Kashmir. They were too disorganized to capture too much land before king Hari Singh asked India that if they'd help he will succeed.
It was believed back then that Kashmirs king wanted to be an independent nation like Sri Lanka or Nepal. But these were only discussed in closed doors cause no king would like to admit he has to give up his kingdom against his will, if he wanted to be with india then why unnecessary deaths cause you stalled it for a year, if you wanted to be with Pakistan why will you admit that when you have made a deal with India?

YES MY FAVOURITE HISTORY YT COVERED A WAR RELATING TO MY COUNTRY!
At 12:12 if you watch past a little bit and watch the Pakistani infantry behind the tank, one dude straight up disappears.
Correction at 12:02: Indian forces are aiming to capture the town of Chawinda.
Great video! I appreciate your efforts on a topic that isn't widely covered. Thank you for this insight. Sialkot is my hometown, and due to military censorship of school curriculum, we never had the chance to study or learn about the exact events that occurred there. Your video has been very informative. Please continue making more videos like those covering the 1947-48 War, 1971 War, Kargil War of 1999, and others.
Bhai wo bhi views kelye karaha he Indian. Bc map ki animation to dekhi 😂
you forgot to include "The graveyard of Tanks" in Chawinda, Punjab. Its the biggest graveyard of tanks in the world as it has 600 destroyed indian tanks
Bro, could you please tell me the name of weed ?! 🤤
😆😆😆
These is the reason why you guys are not developing 😂😂😂😂
India didn’t had 600 tanks in western front that time so where did you got the numbers from ?
😂 the reason why pakistan is in such state.
greece vs turkey, rome vs carthage, france vs england, france vs germany, india vs Pakistan, china vs india, greece vs Persia, us vs ussr.... some of these rivalries need to come back

I love Griffy when he rides on “the Sensitive topics”
Speaking of that could do one on Pakistan's role in the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan of 1979 or deal the whole war there since at the time the US really thought Osama Bin Laden was a cool dude to deal with. Anyway may tell Griffy about that.
I was just thinking Armchair historian should make a video on this war. You guys never fail to impress us with amazing videos.
Really good also another part I can also think about and is the most famous and if he hasn't already done it the 1979 Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan and be really interesting also involved Pakistan, USSR and the USA.
@@kellychuang8373 That would be cool. It would also be cool to see a video on the six day war but I doubt RUclips would allow that.
@@Freelancer-kd4zr Really seems to be the case there anyway really Google that there may have been other countries involved as well and also at the time when the Soviet Afghan War was going on Osama Bin Laden and the Taliban well before that was formed seemed like cool dudes at the time since they were fighting the USSR boy did it come for harm later on.
@@kellychuang8373 Facts. When the Soviet Afghan war was in full swing, many countries were working together to free Afghanistan from communism. The mujahadeen were formed and later we’re so effective they managed to kick the Soviet out of Afghanistan in 10 years with 50,000 killed or wounded soldiers. Then eventually there was a splinter faction in the mujahideen which later became the Taliban. In a way it’s kind of depressing to see that after all the war that was fought in Afghanistan, the country just seems to go from one oppressive government to another.
@@Freelancer-kd4zr Really do have a point and could tell Armchair about that also speaking of other wars this country involved itself in besides the Soviets could tell Armchair about these ones as well the Anglo-Afghan Wars of the 1800's and 1919 anyway give that a Google as well involves the British and also this was no cakewalk unlike what the people at the time was expecting anyway may want to tell him about that as well.

A nice and fair analysis on the conflict. Hope it doesn't get bombarded with trolls.
A robber is occupying your home but after sometimes that robber started to loose it's ground and decides to ally itself with it's minion, minion has this historic rivallery with you,
Meanwhile after some time, robber decides to leave but at the cost of the partion of your home, your home is carved and since then that minion is your neighbour, and now that minion wants more place from your home,
according to the minion more place was actually promised to it by the robber, minion declares war on the original owner only to be defeated by the original owner, minion later forms an alliance with the arch rival of the original owner and then declares another war but this war gets transformed into a war of defence of it's capital, another defeat for the minion, even after that minion continue to claim more land,
Meanwhile minion is having a tough time in controlling it's own place, which leads to a civil war, original owner decides to to teach minion a lesson and minion gets beaten up again by the original owner, minion also makes a record surrender of 93K as well, minion lost half of it's nation in this war,
Afterwards minion began to hold a grudge against the original owner beliving that owner had taken away it's place
So,
Original owner is India🇮🇳
Robber is UK🇬🇧
Arch rival of owner is China🇨🇳

The mahraja chose to remain neutral, not joining India or Pakistan. Unfortunately, the Pakistani establishment believed that because the raja was a Hindu, he would eventually join India, which led to a Pakistani army-led Kabali attack on independent Kashmir. To save Kashmir from Pakistani occupation, the maharaja requested Indian army assistance, which PM Nehru denied. The PM informed the Raja that the army would only be dispatched if he chose to merge Kashmir with India, which is why Kashmir joined India.

I’m pleasantly surprised by the friendly fact telling and sharing of stories between others in the comments, there hope yet for humanity ❤
Indian Lt Gen Harbakhsh Singh’s book on 1965 war quotes the following:
"On September 6, XI Corps launched a surprise attack at 4am, led to the crossing of the Ichhogil canal and the capture of the Bata shoe factory on the outskirts of Lahore by 11am. But the senior commanders could not cope with the situation and ordered a withdrawal to the east bank of the canal [BRB Canal] by that evening".
Congress Leader Capt Amarinder Singh: “India almost lost Amritsar in 1965 war”
Fifty years after the 1965 Indo-Pak war, deputy leader of Congress in the Lok Sabha, Captain Amarinder Singh, has shed new light on an order allegedly given by the then Army Chief to withdraw Indian Army troops in Punjab, which could have led to the surrender of Amritsar.
Fake
Yahya Khan surrendered Poonch and transferred to Rahimyar khan where he also surrendered 20,000 Paxtan soldier 🤣
La hilala billa.
In Line of Duty: A Soldier Remembers, according to Zia Sensations, the editor of Dawn, Lt Gen Ayub Khan reveals that not only "did Gen Khan play a very important role in the entire surrender at poonch, he was so nervous as to be on the verge of losing half of Punjab to India, including the city of Rahimyar Khan. Khan describes, in clinical detail, how our own offensive in the Lahore sector had come unhinged. The general commanding the division on Ichchogil canal fled in panic, leaving his jeep, its wireless running and the briefcase containing sensitive documents that were then routinely read on Radio India during the war and Pakistan surrendered 20000 soldiers after that. Ayub Khan wanted to court martial him, Yahya Khan let him get away with resignation.

Unsubscribed this channel immediately!
Well y'all too insecure to hear reality ? Goa at that time was part of the Portuguese state.
It was an invasion, whether you believe that it was justified or not it was undoubtedly an instance of India putting troops on soil that did not officially belong to it.
Seriously people sayings this, how Portuguese come there? Portuguese colonized part of India i.e Goa for some time just like British colonized US. We took it back to unify into one single nation. It was always been part of India. Strange that people comes and comments on this without having any knowledge.

The 1965 war may have been useless for both India and Pakistan since they were still back to square 1 with no side gaining anything but I see it as a win for Bangladesh. It was the Bengali troops of the famous East Bengal Regiment that saved Pakistan in Lahore and Sialkot which led General Yahya Khan the army chief of Pakistan increase the number of battalions in that regiment. These additional troops were vital to build up the Bangladesh Forces during the Liberation war of 1971.
Hilarious how Pakistan started this war to conquer kashmir, Failed to capture it and much of lahore streets ended up getting patrolled by Indian troops until the peace resolution was passed. (Chawinda battle only halted the Indian advance, it didnt expel Indian troops out of Pakistan, the peace treaty caused Indians to leave pak).
Soon few years later, Entire eastern pakistan and it's capital dhaka would fall to Indians who will also capture numerous parts of sindh in the west.
But we did defended it and captured other areas
