@@ryan-ln2hx, I'm sure this a just a joke, but I'm going to explain anyways. Tuva (or as it was known before, Tannu Tuva) is a Siberian Turkic polity located between Russia and Mongolia. For the longest time, it was part of the Mongol, then Chinese empires, before the 1911 Revolution which saw Tuva become independent like Mongolia and Tibet, as a tate called the Urjanchai Republic. This republic soon came under the influence of the Russian Empire, known as Uryankhay Krai, which continued through 'till the Civil War, where Tuva was largely under White Russian influence. This was until Soviet forces invaded Tuva along with Mongolia and set up a Tuvan puppet state, creatively called the Tuvan People's Republic, or just Tannu Tuva. This lasted until 1944 when Tuva was annexed into the USSR as part of the RSFSR, and remained part of Russia after 1991, and to this day, Tuva is a part of Russia.
Thanks for this. My grandfather signed up underage to fight at Khalkhin Gol against the Japanese. Zhukov's tactics were notable for using combined air/armour assaults, an innovation for the Red Army. The victory at KG burnished his reputation, leading to his key role in the defeat of the Nazis at the battle of Kursk. Minor objection: the term is 'home in' as in 'homing pigeon', not 'hone in'. Hone means sharpen.

An episode about postwar mongolia as well as its democratic revolution in 1990 would be very interesting if you can do it.

All interesting questions to answer
The democratic revolution of Mongolia was notable not only for succeeding, but was a relatively peaceful affair, especially compared to its southern neighbor's Tiananmen square incident. In 2021 the global freedom index gave Mongolia a freedom score of 84, which was actually higher than that of the USA! Incredible, considering how it is surrounded by two authoritarian giants.

The rise of Imperial Japan is quite fascinating and terrifying. Basically what happened is that the government lost control of it’s own military, led by ultra nationalists. And said military proceeded to invade East Asia against the will of the government.
After the death of Emperor Menji Japan became in fact a military dictatorship ruled by the army and the navy. Any democratic representation or monarch power became just representative.

No, they were occupied by Italy, but were never “part of Italy”. The only European power who really considered an African colony part of the territory of the home country was france with Algeria (which was itself completely laughable). Spain also holds small bits of land on the northern coast of Africa to this day.

Make one video about Bulgarian participation in Second World war. Bulgaria was the last state to make any agreement with Germany on 1st of March 1941 after Munich Conference and Ribentrop -Molotov pact. 600 000 German army was station in Romania on Romanian Bulgarian border , when they signed to avoid war with Germany, USSR still had NAP with Germany as well.Bulgaria saved all its Jews , It did not send 1 soldier on Eastern Front. After September 1944 participated in the war on the side of alies with 455 000 strong army cleared all South Ygoslavia from German troops blocked their retreat from Greece. The fought until the end of the war and reached Viena Austria .My grand-father was killed at Kossovo operation, when 22 years old. He was buried near Poduevo. Jugotalibans destroyed all garves and monuments of Bulgarian soldiers who fought against Germany. Tito and Cold War propaganda worked hard to hide that. Bulgarian military dead per capita against Germany are much higher than British Empire,French Empire,Canada and Australia
@@Scrap_Lootaz Most of the members were from turkey, and Ataturk regime was more or less a informal ally of the nazis at the time.

AFAIK, there still is a two way diktat that neither New Zealand, nor Finland can give each other military aid, which was in the original peace plans and has never been repealed.
During World War Two, Japan didn't have a single air force. Rather there was an air arm of the Army, and another of the Navy. This is probably particular relevant because the Army and Navy had different ideas of who they wanted to fight (China and the USSR in the case of the Army, Western colonial powers in the case of the Navy)
Before World War II, the Khalkhiin Gol conflict is one of the significant historical events in 20th-century Mongolia. In some historical accounts, it is described as a “conflict,” rather than a “war.” Nevertheless, the Japanese army aimed to advance into Mongolia, while Soviet (including Mongolian and Russian) forces sought to defend their territory and test their military capabilities before the larger conflict in Europe. Following the Khalkhiin Gol conflict’s conclusion in 1939, the Japanese and Soviets signed a ceasefire and border agreement. The Japanese withdrew from the region, and the southern part of Mongolia, now part of Manchuria, was handed over to Soviet control. During the conflict, the Soviet air force played a significant role in providing air support to their ground forces. While detailed records of individual actions may be challenging to find, it is accurate to say that airpower was used during the conflict. Regrettably, during the conflict, actions were taken against Mongolian horsemen by Soviet forces, rather than giving orders to these units the air-force straight up killed off hundreds of horsemen on the field. Those who were aware of these actions were later executed, reflecting a complex aspect of this historical event. In reality, the Mongolians lost territory to the Japanese and suffered losses from both Japanese and Soviet forces. The conflict also left a lasting impact on Mongolian society, with generations influenced by Soviet propaganda. Nevertheless, Mongolia continues to commemorate the Khalkhiin Gol conflict as a victory and maintains a strong relationship with Russia to this day.
Whaaa never knew that they executed mongolian soldiers, why did they do it tho? Dont understand did Stalin have somethibg to with this? Maybe not trusting the mongolians.

Music is too loud.
Tannu Tuva might be intresting since very little is known about it's efforts to supply ussr during ww2.
Can you do a feature about The Philippines under Ferdinand E. Marcos and the Philippines under Martial Law from 1972 to 1981
Can you also do a video on what the heck was Tannu Tuva?
Tannu Tuva is actually part of Mongolia
@@sansan2591 no, tuva and Mongolia are different countries. Tuva is our friend
About the agreement described at 3:17. Shouldn't that be a "comrade's agreement" not "gentleman's"🤔 ?
Love the Men of War music
What sources did you use for this video?
You should cover the OAS or Years of Lead theyre prettt obsecure
During World War Two, Japan didn't have a single air force. Rather there was an air arm of the Army, and another of the Navy. This is probably particular relevant because the Army and Navy had different ideas of who they wanted to fight (China and the USSR in the case of the Army, Western colonial powers in the case of the Navy)
very nice video on my Country
Before World War II, the Khalkhiin Gol conflict is one of the significant historical events in 20th-century Mongolia. In some historical accounts, it is described as a “conflict,” rather than a “war.” Nevertheless, the Japanese army aimed to advance into Mongolia, while Soviet (including Mongolian and Russian) forces sought to defend their territory and test their military capabilities before the larger conflict in Europe.
Following the Khalkhiin Gol conflict’s conclusion in 1939, the Japanese and Soviets signed a ceasefire and border agreement. The Japanese withdrew from the region, and the southern part of Mongolia, now part of Manchuria, was handed over to Soviet control.
During the conflict, the Soviet air force played a significant role in providing air support to their ground forces. While detailed records of individual actions may be challenging to find, it is accurate to say that airpower was used during the conflict.
Regrettably, during the conflict, actions were taken against Mongolian horsemen by Soviet forces, rather than giving orders to these units the air-force straight up killed off hundreds of horsemen on the field. Those who were aware of these actions were later executed, reflecting a complex aspect of this historical event.
In reality, the Mongolians lost territory to the Japanese and suffered losses from both Japanese and Soviet forces. The conflict also left a lasting impact on Mongolian society, with generations influenced by Soviet propaganda. Nevertheless, Mongolia continues to commemorate the Khalkhiin Gol conflict as a victory and maintains a strong relationship with Russia to this day.
Whaaa never knew that they executed mongolian soldiers, why did they do it tho? Dont understand did Stalin have somethibg to with this? Maybe not trusting the mongolians.
Plz do Portugal as one of the series
quick thing is the flag you showed was tuvan not mongol
Dude the flag literally says Republic of Mongolia in traditional Mongolian writing
@@ganbatmunkhtur9048 my mistake however I know as a fact that was not the flag. It may be the emblem. Also the offical name was peoples republic of Mongolia not republic of Mongolia.
@@Random_Panda_eating_cake Okay dude I searched through the Mongolian sources it turs out this was our national flag from 1940-1945 when we were Mongol People's Republic
@@ganbatmunkhtur9048 Oh that's interesting. I think Mongolia had some other flags though as de-facto flags but that's very interesting
I didn’t know the specifics but I was aware that Mongolia was involved in fighting between Japan and the USSR.
This title originally piqued my interest, but I really got the impression this was a podcast and not a video. There are far too few images for this to be called a video, and often just the same ones repeated and shown for an unnecessarily long time on each occasion. Either that, or they were just images of text.
According Wikipedia, Mongolia declared war on Germany in 1941. It's true?
Will you do a video on the beast that is tannu tuva?
Tannu what?
Mongolia has pretty big role in Germany as well because one Mongolian force scared Germany and Mongolia didn't have lots of people it was so little population that it didn't reached at least 1 million
I would like to see a video about bulgarian role in both World Wars :)
I knew of the involvement in Russia, during the Revolutionary War.
Tried to play hiding, seeking, looking, or and searching yeah
Any one else finding it hard to hear him over the music? 🙋♂️
the history of Mongolia is inseparable from horses and other large domesticated mammals.
What did Myanmar do in Vietnam war? I bet they had some involvement since it’s a country in the Indo Chinese peninsula.
Talk about Kalmykia
Tannu Tuva next
I want to know if it is true that Japanese knew they lost and didn’t send troops for backup, 2nd: the war declared border of mongolia, which was a negotiation between china and russia
