@@chugachuga9242 yea Its a cool video too! I would love if they did one with the Swedish uniforms since i have a bit of a military history in my fam ;)
As a historical reenactor in Gibraltar (a British overseas territory), I'm familiar with and have worn a few of these uniforms. These uniforms include: The Royal Manchester Volunteers (mid to late 1700s), the 68th Durum Light Infantry Regiment (Napoleonic era), the Blackwatch Regiment (Napoleonic era), the 24th Light Infantry Regiment (Victorian era), and the Gibraltar Defence Force (WW2 era)
The tall shako hats were more practical than most people realise. The plumes were detachable and the empty space combined with a wire frame helped prevent fatal injuries from cavalry sabres swung from above.
Armchair historian is such a great channel. Quality content that deserves to be lifted up so it's awesome to see Luke promote and share their links and merch.
In my time in service ('99-'07) I had 3 different combat uniforms (BDU, DCU, ACU), 2 different dress uniforms (green service uniform for the army, and blue for air force), and 3 PT uniforms (army, gray sweats and gray/black wind suit, and I can't quite remember what my AF PT uniform was like). I have to admit, I miss wearing the uniforms. When I wore them, I felt a sense of pride and did nothing to ever disgrace them. The closest I get to it now is on every Veterans Day I wear my ribbon rack. I just made myself depressed, maybe I go and polish my old jump boots for old-time sake.
Hey man, big fan here. One fun fact of the Falkland’s War that I know of is, if my memory serves me correctly, it’s one of those rare instances in warfare where both sides were using the same equipment. The British were armed with the L1A1 SLR (a copy of the Belgian FN FAL) and the Argentine forces were armed with the FN FAL. Interestingly enough, I’ve heard of stories where the British soldiers became hesitant or would actually trade their weapons for the FN FAL, as the L1A1 was semi auto only, whereas the original FN model had full auto capabilities. I’ve also read somewhere that while the full auto capabilities were not that useful, nevertheless the Argentine troops managed to shoot down a British helicopter, a Gazelle down using the full auto spray and pray. The falklands have such a unique history tbh, keep up the good work :)
14:42 Interesting fact, it wasn't the FIRST instance of camoflage in militaries, the Germans did that. Americans fielded an early camoflage pattern for a short time before deciding to pull it, as until this point, GIs generally saw it as, "If he wears camo, he's a German." Caused a lot of confusion in the early days.
my great grandad was a captain in the british army and trained gurkhas aswell as fought along side them. he always praised how amazing it was working along side them. happy to see them mentioned in the video :D
Swords was worn by British officers into early ww1. While still practical in trench warfare they were also a perfect signboard for snipers that the bearer was an officer. The lesson was quickly learned, and the swords were ordered to be collected and taken out of frontline service.
19th century saw advances in leaps and bounds, the British army went from the Brown Bess to the Lee Enfeild Mk 2. other Kit also made advances on the same level over the same period.
Uniforms were originally designed for more standardized units such as say the Roman legions but as time passed it becomes more ceremonial as well as allowing commanders to identify which troops belonged to who such as the French blues vs the British reds, and eventually the uniforms were used to identify different regiments or units as well as their origins or specialization and eventually as war and technology progressed uniforms became more and more practical in order to ensure that troops are less likely to be spotted
The thing is If you’re not nicking other peoples stuff It’s usually someone else nicking other peoples stuff until they eventually become too powerful either economically or militarily where they could either say cut off any and all trade to your country starving you, or just outright invade the place and the greatest modern example would’ve big businesses where they compete with each other for territory (reel estates), wealth, and assets such as the purchase of a company or its assets or via sabotage such as tampering with a rival companies security.
Warfare sees such a drastic advancement in technology because everyone shares a common objective, imagine how quickly we could colonise other planets if our entire race focussed on it.
Great video man, I'm 16 and looking at passing my college cource and then joining the royal marines as I beleive it is what I truly want to do thank you for inspiring me and finding out what I really want to do. 👍👊
Yes, enjoyed both this video and the American Uniforms one. It's really interesting how uniforms have evolved over the years, AND the possibility of what is to come! As regards your reference: Alan Turing, played by the excellent actor Benedict Cumberbatch, in the movie 'The Imitation Game'. SPOILER! His 'Bomb' machine - the first electrically powered computer - went through all the possible sequences of coding. If it hadn't been for that tell-tale 'Heil Hitler!' at the end of many coded messages (sent by a certain German agent who must have been kicking himself afterwards), I don't know what the Allies would have done! Actually visited Bletchley Park which for some years has been a museum dedicated to the codebreakers who cracked the Enigma Code. It's a great day out.
I like how they showcase the loadouts and weapons used along with the uniform changes. I was saving the original video for later until I seen you were doing a reaction and thought "best of both worlds, let's do it." Boy howdy 😉👉
Hello Luke, I am a huge fan of your videos. As a Portuguese, I’d like to ask you if you could maybe react to what kind of stuff my country’s military does. Btw. we are really close allies, which really cool. Anyway, have a wonderful day:)
You should also check out the channel Battle Order. They put up videos on unit organization and tactics from many countries. They are a fairly new channel only 40 or so videos but the information is awesome.
Whats odd about the falklands war is that both the British and the Argentinian forces used licenses copies of the FN FAL. And is the only modern conflict where such has happened
Really, your uniforms started in the English Civil War. It saw the use of colored sashes to designate the sides. The leather under tunic was introduced at this time too.
I whish i was British. I have multiple freinds in Britain and the history is cool plus there so much historical stuff there plus a great accent. It sounds great!
the funf act about how most of the soldier in WW2 was canadian instead of british was because most of the canadian was foot soldier while most of the british that was send , they were send via glider and commando and special task , they are bunch of elite soldier , they hardly joined the foot soldier coz most of them do covert
you only need to hear him, and you know that hes bri ish (yes memes hahah funny), i mean... some of you guys really speak like the people from zhe memes.... and i think zhe old bri ish wouldve talked a little more "normal" english rather than zhe "high pitched and more royalty" english that some of you guys use today. and yes im from germany
Except the animators screwed up the sequence of loading a muzzle loaded rifle. The characters hand works the lockwork first (a big NoNo) then puts a ball in the barrel. They didn't add powder, then the ball, and completely forgot to show the use of the ramrod to seat the charge. You prime the lockwork last, because you don't want it going off when you're loading a charge.
Fun fact: the English-Portuguese alliance is the oldest standing alliance dating from 1387
That’s actually kinda cool
That is the absolute epitome of a ride or die homie lol FR

Nice to see the paratroops, my great grandfather was a paratrooper during WW2.
Great one mate! Keep it up!
I like how Luke was being Luke. Until when they showed the Commando’s his Commando’s self, boost up real quick and his personality changed for a sec.😂
Dennison's smocks were the first use of Camo by the British.
But the German Stormtroopers of the Great War, were the first to use adaptive camoflage.
my great grandad was a captain in the british army and trained gurkhas aswell as fought along side them. he always praised how amazing it was working along side them.
happy to see them mentioned in the video :D
I Recognize that Victoria 2 soundtrack in the video. XD

If you haven't watched it I highly recommend the Sharpe's Rifled series, it has some great uniforms.
Actually, the poles were the first to break German enigma codes, but the machine they used to do so was too slow
So proud of our soldiers and our history. Amazing video Luke GSTQ
The thing is
If you’re not nicking other peoples stuff
It’s usually someone else nicking other peoples stuff until they eventually become too powerful either economically or militarily where they could either say cut off any and all trade to your country starving you, or just outright invade the place and the greatest modern example would’ve big businesses where they compete with each other for territory (reel estates), wealth, and assets such as the purchase of a company or its assets or via sabotage such as tampering with a rival companies security.
Looking at the history i just thought, "What if todays M4 guns, LMGs, and miniguns were used in the 1700s and 1800s?"
And "What if Rambo was in?"

1:25 well actually he didn't broke the enigma code, he made it cheaper and quicker. Those who broke enigma were from Poland
Poland just break the first enigma germans did another harder one and alan turing break it learn your facts
