I appreciate your thoughtful, intelligent responses to the topics. I'm a fan now. I would also like to say that I find you two adorable. Good luck and Happy New Year!
Much love from Utah, United States.
The Battle where Custer died was called "The Battle of the Little Big Horn", and it was fought against the Sioux and Cheyanne Native American tribes. so it was more an ethnic cleansing than a war. Also, Britain and the Commonwealth also supplied the USSR with thousands of tanks, planes and munitions. They also reverse lend-leased to the US, and gifted them millions of tons of food and munitions. Polish fighters who managed to make their way to Britain were given aeroplanes and formed several Polish squadrons within the RAF. The Royal Navy also gifted the Polish Navy several Tribal Class Destroyers, one of the best small warships of WW2. Most famous Tribal was the one renamed Piorun. while she was waiting for the British battle-fleet to come and sink the Bismarck with HMS Rodneys 16in guns, she made several torpedo attacks, signalling repeatedly to Bismarck, "I am a Pole".
As an American, I would add to this list the fervent belief by many that barely trained citizen-soldiers defeated the world-class army of Great Britain during the War of Independence. It is true that thousands of men heroically faced the Redcoats in battle. It is not true that they consistently won. Thousands of "Minutemen" were captured. Far more died in horrible conditions aboard British "prison ships" than in combat. It was not until later in the war, when the Continental Army had been made a professional force with the assistance of European military training, that the Americans had a good chance of prevailing. This myth still has a profound effect on our national politics.
Yeah that’s called a proxy war, we’re the leaders in that now so seems oddly less important
That is an accurate statement. Thank you very much💙
Hi guys, like your reaction vids -just been watching the Norm ones! I'm glad, Waldemar, that you've found something to occupy your time and creative juices now that What We Do In The Shadows (TV series) has come to an end.
A good series on WWI, WWII, and now the Korean War on a weekly basis is the one done by the "Time Ghost Army". They do a very thorough and entertaining job in covering everything.
The channel Epic History has an amazing series of videos on WW1 if you guys are interested. Each video is 12-15 minutes and covers one year of the war per video (beginning with "World War 1 - 1914"). They also have a single video with all parts combined that runs about an hour, but you may want to start with the 1914 video to see if it's to your liking.
I've seen videos and pictures of Poland. What an absolutely beautiful country. And unlike most other countries, you secure your border and preserve your culture. When I become rich I will visit.
9:50 Maybe react to Oversimplified US civil war?
Great Depression was in large part caused by the crash least in America
i would like to point out we the british had to pay the americans . so in fact the first part of the war was profitering for them
Did the narrator say Columbus spent most of his time in the East Indies?
in fact the emancipation proclamation was actually the opposite of a freeing document for slaves. It required the slaves to be codified as property to be enforceable, and required the war to be going on to be legal.
meaning the liberation of property for the war effort stopped being legal once the war ended. the southern slave owners once the war ended would revert to private citizens with rights after the war and would essentially be handed a receipt for what was taken, that could be used in court against the federal government (after the war ended). At best financial reparations would be awarded, at worst the slaves would have been legally required to return once peace had been reached. The document would have made it harder after the war to reach actual emancipation of slaves since it stated concretely that the federal government believed them to also be property.
This is believed to be one of the reasons the two sides took so long to reach a negotiated peace. the abolitionist forces and politicians, Lincoln included literally are said to have avoided speaking to southern representatives until the 13th amendment was voted on.
You are very confused, sorry. It was the Dred Scott decision, that codified slaves as property, not the Emancipation Proclamation. What is true, is that Emancipation Proclamation technically freed zero slaves, because Lincoln did not have the authority over Confederate slaves, and it exempted the slaves owned in slave states that did not secede, such as Kentucky.
@@Tijuanabill the emancipation proclamation relied on the slaves being property to allow the federal union government to take them for the war. Even lincoln feared what he was doing would be proven to be illegal. but it was considered by the powers act to be property of a foreign power they wear at war with he could take them. it is the very reason he could not outside the confederacy, because it was the war that hinged its legal premise.
General Lee was the General of the Army of Virginia. Great military mind but a poor statesman and misguided in his moral convictions.
