21:27 "I think if people knew more about history, I think we would be doing better." This is an incredibly boiled down version of why I love history so much and why it is important to know what happened. Well put, Shane.
Real talk, they were committing suicides because they were brainwashed into thinking they would be treated horrendously as POWs (as they were treating their own POWs). The german civiliians similarly committed mass suicides to avoid the Soviets, difference in these situations being the Americans were not the Soviets.
For anyone interested Thomas Francis Meagher survived the American Civil War only to drown in the Missouri River two years later after falling off a steamboat, his body was never recovered.
And journalists of the time were basically the equivalent of modern day podcasters. Half the articles would be like… “according to local reports there is another sea serpent in the local duck pond again and four of seamus’s sheep were killed by faeries. Dark magic is clearly afoot in county cork”… thats basically what chris does for a living
@@notmyname9625 that is 100% on point!, didn't so called "yellow journalism"(named for the color of the paper) start in the 1890's? Hearst leading the start of totally sensational, very little research involved "news"...hmm, sounds shockingly familiar though!.
@@RobSandman yes despite them both being highly celebrated historical figures in the journalistic world both hearst and pulitzer promoted the use of sensational headlines and low integrity journalism while competing with eachother. This was later coined yellow journalism but that wasnt anything new it was just one of the more notable times in modern history when it had been used to essentially fuel a war that had yet to be justified in the eyes of the general public. Yellow journalism still goes on today tho and its practices certainly didn’t start then. What i am referring to went on since before that term was even coined and isnt exactly the same. Newspapers in general were just far less reliable back then and folklore commonly made headlines in regions all across the world. Even moreso in ireland. You can actually find news articles from ireland about sea monsters and fairies that arent even all that old. Shit was just absolutely wild back then. Even the best journalism of the time was extremely unreliable by modern day standards. Even the actual history of the country is somewhat unclear due to the amount of folklore mixed in. Same is true for the whole uk.
@@notmyname9625 Are there?, I tend to find that it's tourists who come here talking a load of pants about fairies and leprechauns, and calling us Paddy, which is a great way to get slapped by a "Jolly Oirishman hurr durr", my family were farmers in County Clare(before we moved to Dublin, still loads of relatives there) and you'd have to go back generations and pick the thickest cnut in the clan to find someone who really believed in that kind of malarkey.
WW1 was started after the assassination of the Hungarian heir to thrown, but more importantly, a war between 3 nations initially between three related monarches under a single family aunt (early military industrial complex, planned). WW1 ended and then the treated of Versailles, which destroyed the German civilian population into starvation, then a veteran of WW1 initially in prison (Adolf) got to writing and using the misery of the public to motivate Germany into violating the treaty and producing armaments banned under said treaty, then WW2... Japan was also a society under hyper foreign imposed restrictions, so naturally they both had generational hate of their controlling adversaries
You are giving Japan way too much credit. Yeah, they were forced to open to the world, but their immediate reaction to doing so was to militarize and become one of the worst expansionist civilizations in modern history. They really weren't huge victims, they just got pushed around by the big boys a bit. He did skip over the German entrance to WWII but that because this is a conversation and not a history lecture. As for the German entrance to WWI, they were the ones that unconditionally backed Austria Hungary to establish dominance in the Balkans. Doing that involved Russia, and from there Germany provoked Britain and France by invading Belgium. That whole thing was started as a result of an increasingly gridlocked series of alliances which built tension in Europe. Germany broke ground on the gridlock due to a desire to strike first and wrestle control of the continent from the Allies. The treaty of Versailles is obviously a pretty terrible outcome, but America was just the mediator. Woodrow Wilson was a moderate voice in the deliberation and the europeans were the ones who pushed so hard against Germany. I mean, I dislike Wilson but he did try to help the Germans and the US senate didn't even sign the treaty. Germany was at fault for starting both world wars, I don't see an argument against that. They may have had motivations to do so, but that is the case for all of history, it doesn't excuse their actions in either war. I don't get why you guys need to try and justify goddamn Nazi Germany or Imperial Japan in order to discredit the US. Just bring up the Phillipines or Korea or something lol.
you had me with a lot of the fact you brought, you then lost me with your ending it in emotionalism. I personally am not justifying the disgusting acts on the part of axis nations, and i dont know who 'you guys' are

One of the funniest things/moments he did was talk trash about the south and confederates for years. In so many cases. He said that the irish kicked their asses. Then on tour in Richmond (the confederate capital) he complained that there were no irish bars 😂 took molly at one of the only ones and wondered why people had a attitude. 😂😂 it made me laugh so hard. He never put the pieces together too 😂😂😂😂😂😂
No committing suicide rather than losing is THE most stupid tactic in all of human history. All great generals lose, could you Imagine Alexander the Great getting to the Persian gate and losing the first battle, then committing seppuku along with all his men lol. The Greeks would have never made it out of Persia or taken India. Its so fucking stupid.
Ok so could you explain how is the story of your friend is a daughter of german soldier rping a Ukrainian mother related to insurance companies saying yes to wars.
Describing America's empire as not as bad as the Europeans is why you guys win. You have popular comedians (today's rock and roll) telling everyone on your globe-spanning social media platforms, that the US are the good guys. Well played America, well played.
Bro America sucks ass, they just have a few genuine legends. Aside from that google how many coups America has been involved in....dirty deeds, done dirt cheap.
Saying America is better than Russia because Russia fought so hard to save the world from fascism is crazy. 7 million people die every year of hunger under americas regime, despite famine being conquered with food surplus.
Gillis is better educated than I am regarding history but listening to him try to “comedically” dumb-down atrocities kind of makes my skin crawl. I understand where he’s coming from but it just doesn’t connect for me.
That humor can miss with some, for sure. Many comedians have a dark sense of humor, especially with each other, and human atrocities are just about the darkest parts of our history. To find the comedy in it, especially in tragedy, you go the other way with it, you "lighten it up", like in "History of the World Pt. 1" with the Spanish Inquisition song & dance number. I don't think Shane's watering down horrible realities, he's just following what usually works comedically.
21:27 "I think if people knew more about history, I think we would be doing better." This is an incredibly boiled down version of why I love history so much and why it is important to know what happened. Well put, Shane.
