You gotta take into account USA has a shorter history than most modern day States around the world USA hasn't a been in ancient warfare that high tech, nukes, guns, aircrafts, submarines and the other tech out there it was purely swords and horses a few could pull amphibious invasions like the Roman Empire, Mongol Empire, Macedonia Empire
They gotta fights them rednecks them gang bangers they gotta fight veterans they going to have to fight state and local police they gotta fight every american with a gun
This video started out exploring the geography of the US and expanded into understanding how the country became the worlds first superpower. Do let us know here if there are other countries that have a strategical advantage due to its geography. 🗺
@@bam-skater My list will go back further. When you look at the absolute dominance it takes to be a superpower, the Mongolians and Romans have to be tossed into the mix. We tend to forget that Rome dominated for nearly 100 years, longer if you include the Byzantines.
Also, we in America can be historically blind at times. The world speaks English not because of us but because of the British. The Empire was the first modern superpower.
@@ryanwarner5006 I say it's a moot point because the U.S. military would most likely stop the invaders first. The civilians would only stop the invaders in the very slim chance the military fails to stop them.
As a US Marine who's now a civilian, we would still fight for every inch of this country. In my opinion, one of the most dangerous people in the world is a Marine with one thing left to lose, and a foreign military standing in their way
As your audience from Hong Kong, this video is absolutely amazing and I love it, which is a highly informative video that I learned. Keep going and make more brilliant videos next time for the audience.
At 7:48 ...Europe had to rebuild...but guess who helped finance the rebuilding? And what about the Berlin Airlifts? Who gave constant aid to Germans trapped behind the Iron Curtain? And who was responsible for reconstructing Japan after defeat without annexing the country???? The USA......'nuff said...
1:55 It's important to point out that the US did succeed in invading Mexico, the only reason why we didn't take all of it was because it would have given the slave-owning South too much territory.
@@iamthinking2252_ Because the slave states and free states were extremely divided (this was fairy soon before the Civil War), and they couldn't come to an agreement so they decided not to take all of Mexico.
I was born and raised in California but moved to Boston and spent half my life on both coast. I'm 40 and spent 15 years in the Marine Corps. I believe it's best stated by Tojo, who stated: any invasion of the United States would be impossible, as you would find a rifle hiding under every blade of grass. "
Best to remind people that whole Teddy Roosevelt was president of the United States, his nephew Franklin was expanding within his own as assistant Secretary of The Navy. America ain't nothing to fuck with. Massive love and respect to to all people though! ❤
It really depends on the goal of the invaders. A long term occupation is a stupid goal for them. And if they are capable of landing on the US soil, then Geneva Convention is pretty much thrown out of the equation. They WILL NOT use conventional warfare to deal with the citizens, unfortunately.
Happy to have found your channel. I glowingly glanced over at my now outdated '80s era world atlas, pleased to see how much great B-roll it provides in your videos. I'm a fan of history, geopolitics, maps, and documentaries. Consider me a fanbois.
@@Faultlinevideos For reference, I found your Putin/Russia video featured in DIGG, while doom scrolling Flipboard. Watched it in full, then sent a link to a few friends as well.
Damn bro your videos are like Johnny Harris-level professional. Very good style and editing. It hurts that these vids get so few views, I hope your channel will experience massive growth in the future!
Thanks so much Phil, it’s great to have you here, big fans of your videos! WWZ has been on my Audible reading list for a while, I’m going to have to bump that up and check it out soon - Andy
amazing :) i enjoyed learning about this :) would love to know if a country like Switzerland , Mongolia or russia has been invaded due to the topography of the land.
If I were a commander in chief of a nation I would never attempt to invade Russia, Afghanistan unless full mobilisation, China, USA , UK, Vietnam and all the other nuclear armed countries
Simple answer: Two oceans on each side. Youre not gonna be able move the sheer amount of troops, boats, or planes, across the ocean without getting detected and obliterated
@@Faultlinevideos part of me feels like this is botted because you gained 100 subs in a day, but also i think it's just a good video and people see it, oh wait it's all the tags
When ever I read the title I was a bit worried because back in 1812 the US has been invaded by Britian but in the intro you avoided that by saying the US has never been successfully invaded. 🎉🎉🎉🎉
The history of the US began in the late 1600's which is contrary to the popular belief that the US is younger than it actually is. In name the US and laws the US "began" in 1783. (Declaration drafted 1776) However the Mayflower Pilgrimage and the 1st American colony of Jamestown were established long before. American Independence was over 100 years in the making by that point.
It's mainly due to its power (especially over its neighbors which stayed weak despite being bigger than most of Europe), regardless of its adjacent oceans. Weaker nations have always been invaded even by militaries arriving from afar.
You'll have to take Intercontinental missiles & aircraft carriers into account in this modern world ! ( Pearl Harbor comes to mind ) A Competent Leader could do considerbal deviation to the U.S.A. in a sneak attack ( not to mention the " wildeyed pistol waivers that's not afraid to die " ) , as if THAT'S not enough , there's the ever popular E. M. P. to worry about ! BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE ... ( .. too much to mention , but, I believe You get the picture )
Their best defence has been their geographic isolation from other main powers. No one tried to invide Canada neither for the same reason. USA was a superpower in the XX century but not in the XIX: just no one wanted to attempt to occupy a vast and far territory.
@@euskoferre Yes, and UK, but those were not the metropolitan territories. They could not launch a big scale invasion from those almost empty territories of Lousiana and Florida (and actually they lost them soon)
This is a great video! One thing though that I thought of while watching is that North America was invaded - by the Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, French, and English! I think the settler-colonialism of North America by Europeans would have been an interesting addendum to this story. That being said, settler-colonialism was a very different kind of invasion. Nice job, I just wanted to share some thoughts!
I don't know what you're talking about. They have been pretty severely invaded and continue to do so. The question should be, why do they keep letting it happen?
I would love to see my country incorporate our overseas territories as fully federalised states. The French have incorporated theirs as departments with voting power in Paris. We should do something similar otherwise we are treating them like colonies.
You have to get past the US navy then the largest airforce in the world greeting any ships that survived getting passed the US Navy. The Thin English Channel saved Britain a few times , imagined a Ocean thousands of miles wide.
The largest army on earth is China at 2 million strong. America has 2 million responsible and experienced deer hunters, in just 4 states. Minnesota, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. Texas alone has 1 million hunters. So why do politicians influenced by Chinese money and Chinese women want to pass gun control legislation?
This is gold for someone who has an interest in geography, can't wait to see more.
We won't disappoint! Thank you)))
Not to mention once you do beat the geography, you have more guns than people so you gotta deal with that as well
Yeah 120 guns to 100 people 😮
But do they know how to use them accurately, or even at all? I know a few that have great weapons yet they're afraid to use them. My husband taught me to shoot everything in our house except the crossbow but that thing has like a 70 pound pull which I can't budge...but I'll get to work with any of the shotguns

Really confuses me that this is your first video because this is so High quality. Keep on the good work! :D

Mexico: hey we’re coming to invade
Us: yea we’ll take about from here to here
Mexico: yes sir sorry about that
Don’t forget he has NATO

So you didn’t even watch two minutes into the video..

Welcome Akshay, really glad you enjoyed the first episode - Andy
You also can’t forget the amount of citizens that own their own weapons and gun and are basically a militia at the ready
But that's a moot point, though.

You forgot to add that the ordinary citizens have better armory and weapons than some entire countries
I mean it WAS successfully invaded once. We're still dealing with the fallout from that.
The history of the US began in the late 1600's which is contrary to the popular belief that the US is younger than it actually is. In name the US and laws the US "began" in 1783.

American's dont bow....to no one
It's mainly due to its power (especially over its neighbors which stayed weak despite being bigger than most of Europe), regardless of its adjacent oceans. Weaker nations have always been invaded even by militaries arriving from afar.

With the amount of ICBMs the US has now they will never be invaded even without a Navy ,Air force or Army.and two Oceans guarding.

It’s called geography bruh. Don’t overthink it.
If u exclude the War of 1812 and the WW2 Aleutian islands campaign, then the US is pretty much invulnerable

I would love to see my country incorporate our overseas territories as fully federalised states. The French have incorporated theirs as departments with voting power in Paris. We should do something similar otherwise we are treating them like colonies.
the united states funds the defense on most of Europe on its own. imagine if we pulled all of that out and brought it home. there is no chance.

Has has america never been invaded,
Except the twice it was invaded. The war of independence. And. 1812,
Well made. 👍 Lots of johnny harris influence on story telling. ;)
Even the British couldn’t invade them during the birth of their country
TLDR: it big and has lots of rivers
Hey, not *all* of those territories were seized via imperialist conquest. The US Virgin Islands were acquired because we paid Denmark $25 million.
At 7:18 ...you almost say this is a bad thing...NO...It's a good thing!!!!!!
why do you never talk about nukes
good first vid but id say it has too many sound effects at some parts.. like a kid just smashed their hand at a soundboard for no apparent reason
Thank you for the feedback! We'll make note of it)
Well, it has - they’re the ones that did the invading.
It was invaded by the French and British Empire in the past late years
LEND LEASE???????
Great, because it's diversity of its people.
The largest army on earth is China at 2 million strong.
America has 2 million responsible and experienced deer hunters, in just 4 states. Minnesota, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia.

Chinese women? I guess you're just checkin all the boxes 😂
Japan invaded Alaska
At 5:14 ..."By the end of the 1900's" uh...you mean by the end of 1941...
0:12 They put Russia as a super power, I'm crying 🤣
The problem with China is its stability and population growth
The battle of new Orleans was our payback for the Whitehouse and demoralized the British.
*laughs in war of 1812*
Not to mentioned its has a gigantic armed population...good luck
pretty sure uk did
video: exists

Because 'Murica babbbyyyyyyy

OKay, so whats the most invaded country in the world? and why?
