After many long months of development and production, its finally here! I hope you guys enjoyed the video and thank you all so much for 1,000 subscribers! I'm planning many more obscure history videos coming soon so stay tuned. Please leave any suggestions for video ideas or tips for making future videos better, its much appreciated! P.S. I'm aware of a few grammar errors and mispronunciations and I do apologize for them. Also I'm not an AI, I wrote and narrated this video myself without any artificial intelligence and voices.
I visited Monaco in June 2022 as part of a French class trip. I loved being able to go to the Prince’s Palace, and seeing the entire country in one view. Our school traveled with another school, an all-girls school from Texas. One asked if we were in England when we arrived.
Yeah I can confirm most american highschoolers (and young women especially) don't know geography and won't have the most basic grasp on it until their 40s
It would've been easy to overlook one or two grammatical errors and few minor mistakes in verb-tense usage, but he used "had came" and "has came" throughout the entire video. WTF?

3:33 Nazi Germany did not occupy Slovakia in 1939, Slovakia separated from Czechoslovakia (the Czech part was occupied, indeed), and became a vasal state of the nazi Germany. But there were no occupation forces up until 1944.
@@AlexGames306 correct, there was a Zone of Protection en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Zone_of_Protection_in_Slovakia , and Slovakia was really just a puppet state, but it was not a full-scale occupation like in Bohemia and Moravia.
A very interesting video indeed & one that as far as I'm concerned, I would have been happy if it had of been a bit longer!! None the less a well put together video & I enjoyed every single aspect of it!! Well done indeed!!
5:40 the allies were *not* encircled in the Ardennes, rather, the German army marched through this mostly undefended area around the French and encircled the allied armies around Calais and Dunkerque.
@aaronbasham6554 The difference between the Allied powers & Axis Powers. The Allies... US, UK, USSR, China... were fighting the same wars in attempted coordination with each other. The Axis... Japan misled Germany and was not involved in Germany & Italy's ambitions. Italy & Germany... weren't planning the same war. Germany wanted to consolidate Europe... Italy was trying to regain former Roman Empire territory & capture parts of Africa.
Was he really indecisive? He was caught between a bunch of much more powerful states. Appearing to be weak and going along with a lot of what the Italians and Nazis wanted meant that he could still secretly exercise some power to act against them, or at least it seems possible that this is an accurate assessment. I'm sure a more detailed analysis of historical documents could paint a clearer picture. Just the fact that he clearly wasn't pro-nazi or fascist, and that he and at least some other members of Monaco's government and citizenry tried to act against the interests of the Axis powers, even though a large percentage of their citizens were actually pro-fascist, is actually pretty impressive.
Yeah I agree. He was put into a terribly complicated situation, trapped between multiple nations trying to manipulate and control the micro nation, combined with his attempts to save jewish lives. I think he did admirably under the circumstances
What nonsense! Most of Europe was pro-fascist. The countries that weren't were looking for a war against Germany from at least 1937 on. Most especially FDR. They talk about Poland. Poland was a military dictatorship not a plutocratic Democracy like Britain and France. The biggest issue the British and Americans had with German, Italy and Japan was their inability to control the fascist banking systems. Britain, France and the USA couldn't get out of the Great Depression no matter what they did. German was out of the Depression in 1934-354 without a `military buildup" or expansion.There were more Americans unemployed in 1937 then there were when FDR came to power in 1933. There was even a 2nd stock market in 1937 in the USA that never gets talked about.
I thought the very same thing. Just how exactly do historians think Louis II might have stood against the Axis, tiny as Monaco is? On a side note, I find it interesting that when most royals always seem so intent on finding a pure and virtuous woman to marry, Prince Ranier III apparently had no problem with GK’s notorious reputation around Hollywood.
Better editing required. English NEVER uses the verb construction “had came” which was used at least 4 times. And Petain could not simultaneously be Louis’ “old adversary” and “friend”.
Excellent voice-over with some minor errors in a language which is not the narrator's native one. They do not reduce the quality of communication in any significant manner.
Wow! This video was so well made! I always wondered what happened to Monaco during WW2. Could you do one on Andorra please? As I know nothing about it other than that it never concluded a peace treaty with Germany after WW1.
Please note that the past participle of the verb "come" is "come," not "came." I am only a few minutes into the video and the presenter has said "have came" instead of "have come" three times! Also the interwar flag of Poland has the Polish Eagle displayed in the middle. The flag shown in the video omits it.
I had been to Monaco in the early 2000's and was overwhelmed by the beauty of Monte Carlo's harbor. Yeah, there were some errors, but overall this is an excellent video. P.S.: Thank you for NOT using AI!
@TheLoughDuck55 The really basic statements that are made from the very start... 'The Great War, now known as the First World War', 'Mussolini came to power in Italy', 'Hitler comes to power in Germany'. The video is about Monaco in the Second World War. Anyone clicking on this will have heard of Monaco and heard of the Second World War so let's assume they are already fairly informed. They therefore do not need to be told who Mussolini and Hitler were, or have the term 'the great war' explained to them? It just strikes me as either... 1. The creator doesn't actually have much information to tell us about Monaco in the Second World War and so drags out the script by adding useless additional filler Or... The creator really isn't very good at this and feels he has to explain everything, like he's talking to a seven-year-old. It's a shame, as it should be an interesting story that is rarely told elsewhere on RUclips. Instead, it's like watching an episode of Sesame Street featuring the Country Monaco
@@jimtuite3451 ehhh I think you’re being overly harsh. I really enjoyed the video. You have to do some necessary background world building, not only to inform those who might not have any knowledge of history (as mad as that sounds) and I order to world building for the people that the above facts are obvious to.
Absolutely fantastic video. Keep putting in the hard work (which you obviously do) and in a year’s time you’ll be viral. One of the best history channels out there, and I can tell even though this is the first video of yours that I’ve come across. You have something special. Keep chasing it!
Yeah a bunch of western leaning states fell in line behind the USA and in turn boycotted those Olympic games, which were held in Moscow. The reason given was because the Soviets had invaded Afghanistan but it was more or less just a way to hurt the Soviets economically by trying to make their games a monetary and political failure. The Olympic games were supposed to be non-political events where countries put their wars on hold and then went off and had their sporting events for a little while every so many years.
@@karlheinzvonkroemann2217OT I know why they boycotted the Moscow games and many who did were Muslim countries. Since a fellow Muslim country like Afghanistan was invaded by an atheistic Communist country like the Soviet Union, boycotting the games in that atheistic communist country seemed natural. The only Muslim country that boycotted the Moscow Olympics but not necessarily because the United States did and that country was Iran. We must remember that in 1980, 52 Americans were being held hostage in Tehran the Iranian capitol with an extremist ruler holding the power of life and death over those hostages, the Ayatollah Khomeini. Khomeini referred to the United States as the Great Satan for supporting the Shah of Iran and for Westernizing that country. So Iran boycotted the 1980 games on the own accord, but they were not following America's lead. It boycotted the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles, but not necessarily because the Soviet Union and it's satellites boycotted it, they were boycotting the games because they were being held in an enemy country. I'm sure the Ayatollah hated the Soviet Union with it's atheistic government; his was a theocracy and do you think for one moment a theocracy would do business with an atheist state that oppressed Christians, Jews and Muslims? Iran was Afghanistan's Western neighbor and with the USSR's invasion of that country, I'm sure the Ayatollah Khomeini feared Soviet expansionism in his country. He was anti-Israel too. One of the reasons why the Soviets invaded Afghanistan was because Moscow feared the Islamic Revolution which began in Iran in 1979 would spread to Afghanistan then a Moscow client and worse the USSR's Central Asian republics. The four other European countries that boycotted the Moscow Olympics were West Germany, Norway, Albania and the tiny principality of Liechtenstein, biggest boycott in Olympic history.
@@karlheinzvonkroemann2217 OT Biggest boycott in modern Olympic history. I know the US boycotted the Moscow Olympics in 1980. Most of the countries that boycotted those games were Muslim. But one Muslim country boycotted those games not necessarily because the USA did; that country was Iran. We must remember that in 1980, Iran was holding 52 American diplomats hostage at the US embassy in Tehran with an extremist government with an equally extremist leader that held the power of life and death over those diplomats. Iran's ruler, the Ayatollah Khomeini, hated the USA because of it's support for the Shah and referred to America as the Great Satan. President Carter tried to save the hostages by force with helicopters who would raid the US Embassy, but it failed miserably. The hostages were eventually released on 1/20/81, the very day Ronald Reagan became POTUS. So Iran boycotted the Moscow games on it's accord not because the USA did, but because the Soviets invaded a fellow Muslim country, Afghanistan, it's neighbor to the east. I learned of Monaco's boycott of the Moscow games on You Tube video called THE COLD WAR IN 9 MINUTES. A little back on topic what did you think of Princess Grace?
@@karlheinzvonkroemann2217 personally, I think it was pointless to boycott the Moscow Olympics; it didn't get the Russians out of Afghanistan and the games went on anyway.
When the Master Race surrendered, it became very polite. I read about its menu times. They are glad that someone else fought for them. But actually it's mainly old Panzer IV with a short barrel. In Poland, in 1939 they were modern, but they also burned well, but in 1945 they were like moving coffins.
How lucky to be one of the 300 French soldiers sent to Monaco during WWII? What we used to refer to as "good duty, if you can get it", in the extreme. Oh, wait, come to find out, it's too good to be true, starting at about 6:00 in.

@@DinoHistoriansThank you so much . I don't want to cause confusion because I didn't say when the conflict started and we had a lot of wars with Peru south America wasn't that peaceful back then . But it's the second Ecuadorian Peruvian of 1941 .
Obviously not sponsored by the Grimadli family but it might as well have been. I'm sure others could write a different storyline of family self preservation above all and enrichment while collaborating with the Axis powers.
Monaco's flag looks just like Indonesia's with a red horizontal stripe on the top and white a horizontal stripe at the bottom. Sort of like the Polish flag upside down.
In World War II, Rainier joined the Free French Army in September 1944, and served under General Joseph de Goislard de Monsabert as a second lieutenant. As soldier, he witnessed action during the German counter-offensive in Alsace. Rainier received the French Croix de Guerre with bronze star (representing a brigade level citation) and was given the rank of Legion of Honor in 1947.
Why would you pick the color blue to represent France and blue to represent the Mediterranean wouldn't perhaps green been a better color to represent land?
Reasonable conclusion in not making him a war criminal; he had few options.....Also, Italian occupation was more lenient to the Jews (not stressed in your documentary)--more so than was standard for Germany or even Vichy.
Monaco doesn't matter (has always been a place to hide/launder money - now its about tax avoidance for F1 drivers and Russian oligarchs), love it, been there several times BUT its less than 1 SQ mile ?! - and was even smaller during WW2 (they have recovered land from the sea since) ... its a small country/town with privileges ... actual physical size never mentioned in video - "the king toured the country in uniform" - well that would take less than an hour walking (it is very hilly) ... we only know of it because of the Grand Prix, James Bond flicks and the once most beautiful woman in the world ...

@@DinoHistoriansThank you so much . I don't want to cause confusion because I didn't say when the conflict started and we had a lot of wars with Peru south America wasn't that peaceful back then . But it's the second Ecuadorian Peruvian of 1941 .
@@DinoHistoriansI don't think am good at commenting on videos so that's why all of my comment except this one is edited.
Maybe the Vatican can send prayers to St. Michael?
NO.
THE VATICAN WOULD RATHER SEND SS OFFICERS TO SOUTH AMERICA.
EVERYONE IN URBS VATICANA IS NOT A SAINT.
AND, THAT INCLUDED POPE PIUS THE TWELFTH.
Obviously not sponsored by the Grimadli family but it might as well have been.
I'm sure others could write a different storyline of family self preservation above all and enrichment while collaborating with the Axis powers.
What could they have done better? How many people did they save?
8:20 “the Italians Axis adversary the Third Reich....” somebody got the wrong script here….
Why does the narrator keep mixing up "came" with "come"? Or perhaps I should say, how come he does that?
Perhaps he learned his English in Scotland.
My family may have been in Singapore during the Japanese occupation?
Yeah, this narrator needs to review how to use past participles.
It depends which English dialect he was using.
I guess blood is more important than paper.
Monaco's flag looks just like Indonesia's with a red horizontal stripe on the top and white a horizontal stripe at the bottom. Sort of like the Polish flag upside down.
This video is very pro allies.
Do you consider being pro-Axis to be admirable?
really, really good video. although, i think you should cut out those awkard pauses lol
RUclips sends me so many photos of beautiful women exiting exotic cars in Monaco that I wanted to know more about Monaco. Fascinating.
I hate a chatbot, they not only mispronounce words but get the definition of the word wrong as well.
Adversary means enemy not friend
to the accusations of indecision, what could he have done to reduce german influence?
Billionaire’s tax Haven.
GRAMMAR is terrible!!
I quite agree that grammar is terrible. All this heavy capitalisation is very Trumpy.
Interesting perspective! I never knew this. Thanks!
In World War II, Rainier joined the Free French Army in September 1944, and served under General Joseph de Goislard de Monsabert as a second lieutenant. As soldier, he witnessed action during the German counter-offensive in Alsace. Rainier received the French Croix de Guerre with bronze star (representing a brigade level citation) and was given the rank of Legion of Honor in 1947.
When the war is almost over he made the politically expedient move and joined the 110% US supported FF Army LMAO! How risky was that move huh?

Why would you pick the color blue to represent France and blue to represent the Mediterranean wouldn't perhaps green been a better color to represent land?
I will guess that it is too small to be noticed or cause a blip .
Reasonable conclusion in not making him a war criminal; he had few options.....Also, Italian occupation was more lenient to the Jews (not stressed in your documentary)--more so than was standard for Germany or even Vichy.
brigadier general BRIG a Deer bridge a dur lol
I think it's a digital voice.
10:25 Ohhhh pleeeeease 🙄 stop the cap
5:06 well...in a way they are right
Party, party, party?
Monaco doesn't matter (has always been a place to hide/launder money - now its about tax avoidance for F1 drivers and Russian oligarchs), love it, been there several times BUT its less than 1 SQ mile ?! - and was even smaller during WW2 (they have recovered land from the sea since) ... its a small country/town with privileges ... actual physical size never mentioned in video - "the king toured the country in uniform" - well that would take less than an hour walking (it is very hilly) ... we only know of it because of the Grand Prix, James Bond flicks and the once most beautiful woman in the world ...

"... has finally came to a close"?
I suspect this is AI
No. I'd assume it's just a narrator working in a non-native language. His general phrasing rules out AI.
What country does the flag between the French and Austro-Hungarian flags represent?
It is the union mark of the Kingdom of Sweden - Norway.
@@DinoHistorians Thank you, but no such union ever existed. OT Norway was once part of Sweden until about 1905, right?
Resistances?
