The United States is an opportunistic dog, they would never have beaten him or gotten close to the Germans.
Why are you making a vid about this? I thought we had enough with Hollywood.
Like video
Shout out to whoever spent weeks or even months animating all this. I don't think animators get enough credit for all the hard work they do. The visuals and audio that went along with this are amazing in my opinion.
It's done by artifical intelligence
@@naswiipp is it actually
No it's not. While it may benefit from some concept art pieces that are AI - This is very likely edited and animated by a person/s@@naswiipp
@naswiipp It doesn't look like it, unless my eyes deceive me.
@@naswiippdefinitely not AI, unless they heavily edited and corrected every word and logo
My father served in WWII and Korea, USN. He was upset because he was given his North Atlantic campaign ribbon (detached service, North Atlantic Convoy) and his Pacific campaign ribbon (mainly milk runs from California to Hawai'i, then later Hawai'i to Japan after the war), but he was denied his Mediterranean campaign ribbon due to being two weeks short of the mark ... but that service was when he was being shot at, as he was doing runs to supply the Anzio landing.
The worst part of a black and white grading scale is there will always be outliers like this that absolutely earned their right to wear a bit of chest candy but some pencil pushers and legislators disagree for some reason as if they could say whom denotes what without said experiences.
@@cheezburgrproductioneven worse, these days, you get ribbons out the wazoo for no reason. So many men and women in our armed forces have told countless stories of people having a chest full of, as you so hilariously stated, candy...and they never even left the wire, yet there were people who saw plenty of active combat and somehow...got...nothing? Or nowhere near what they earned. Sad
My great grandfather on my moms side, was at Anzio. So thank you because without supplies no army moves. Logistics are critical and in modern war ever more under threat of fire due to that very importance.
The problem is your father served for medals. Lol
As the great grandson of someone who served at Anzio I thank your father for his service!
As an American, I can confirm this is exactly my perspective when the wars happened
What is the freedom in your eyes
As the world wars, I can confirm this is your perspective
It took American steel, Russian blood, and British Intelligence to win the war

The part where the Japanese were solemnly awaiting the “waking giant” of America, represented by an unhappy Uncle Sam rising from the ocean, is simultaneously scary and funny.

Wise words armchair historian! ❤
ok
And sadly once again we forget those lessons. I'm looking at Ukraine who've been attacked by a megalomaniac dictator consumed by a war of conquest wanting to reassemble the Soviet Union & now he's basically being appeased by the Republican party. I never thought I'd see the day when Ronald Reagan's Republicans would be bent over & f*cked by the Evil Empire, the Putin regime. Sorry I appear to have gone on a bit of a rant, apologies.
WW1 wasn't only a huge battle on land, but a huge battle in the world economy.
Thank the federal Reserve
That's the most overlooked part of war in my opinion. Wars are almost always decided by not just logistics and supply, but by production & trade.
ok
Yes. American trade was so important to the british that they fought dirty with German subs by disguising themselves as civilian ships and likely staged the sinking of the Lusitania.
@@joshuajohnson191ok
man, the americans after all those wars are not tired of freedom.

Have you seen the alternative? The socialists will claim that real socialism has never been tried before, same for the communists, they all claim that the brutal dictatorships were not true communisms, true socialisms, yet there is not a single government that embodies “real socialism” “real “communism, only pieces of paper and modern socialists that say that Hitler and Stalin weren’t real socialists, that Mao Zedong and Pol Pot weren’t real communists. Everybody back then stated that Hitler and Stalin were real socialists, before their crimes against humanity and the wars they started were brought to light, they were called socialists, same for Mao and Pol. It’s only after we know the truth about them that the left states that they are not real socialists, not real communists. So please name a legitimate alternative to American Democracy, the American Republic.

Despite its limited participation in WWI what the US military gained was valuable experience which was essential for their victory in WWII.
That's why World War 2 is far more remembered in the states, America in addition to being involved for 4 years also sent lend lease before joining the war
especially in logistics and moving stuff to europe
Ah, the Russians won ww2
@@jefclarkespecially this. Having to move millions of men to another continent was insane and the US learning how to do this was invaluable.
Tbf America sent vital aid and military supplies lastly America did put the nail in the coffin for Germany/War right when Russia left the war too as German army was gaining traction but were stopped as new troops came
The battle of Belleau Woods is when Sergeant Major Dan Daly famously shouted "COME ON YOU SONS 'A BITCHES, DO YOU WANNA LIVE FOREVER?" To his men, his men went hyper-aggressive and went insane, charging towards German Defenses, giving them the nickname "Teufel hunden" in German, or as we know it as the famous "Devil Dogs"
I see a fat electrician enjoyer is present.
Is this just a myth like the "ladies from hell" nickname for the black watch
@@Anakin_Sandy_High_Ground no it’s real
@@Anakin_Sandy_High_Ground The nickname is real, but evidence shows that they had been calling themselves that before that battle. So while they did 'go crazy', the Germans didn't give them the nickname. Doesn't stop people from believing and repeating the wives tale despite it being wrong though. Sort of like how Stockholm Syndrome has been disproved for decades but most people still think it's a valid theory.
I find it funny how Sabaton is a very clean band, but them using that one quote made their song Devil Dogs "explicit" on Spotify. Just kinda funny.
Hello to our treacherous former colony , from across the pond . Joking aside , as a British veteran I’ve nothing but respect , admiration and thanks to The Armed Forces of the USA . Thanks lads 🇬🇧🤝 🇺🇸
always was disappointed that WW1 isn't remembered in america the same way the British do :(
@@capitaljushman5756 The British lost entire towns of young men in single battles during that war. The war the Brits and French saw was not the same as the one the Americans experience. What the Brits and the French experienced in those trenches is something I think nobody can really comprehend today. I'm an American by the way.
You call us treacherous, we call you tyrannical
@@rickhigby39 talking of tyrants , how’s sleepy joe ?
@@capitaljushman5756 why would it?
I remember reading somewhere that from 1776 until today, the U.S.A. has been in some form of military conflict for more than 90% if it's history.
We have. America is very “young” compared to many countries and yet we’ve had more conflict than them
I agree with you, but then again, isn't that true for nearly every country in the world aside from maybe Lichtenstein?
@@DeathInJune83 almost all nations in latin america have almost the same age as Unitated states, and yet, not even combining all the latin american countries you will have the same number of arm conflicts that USA. so, no... not nearly every country has made his foreigh policy annexion/controlling by force
@@esteban20969564 I’ll admit I don’t have a great foundation on Latin American history but my point being is that wars globally are usually the rule not the exception. Plus the 18th and 19th century was an exceptionally violent time, so what America was going through was no different from the zero sum game of European expansion or ottoman warfare or Chinese hegemony.
@@Day2Night_well when you’re the strongest country to ever exist it’s kinda hard to stay out of conflict when the world economy runs through you
My Great Grandfather was 15 when he joined the national Guard in 1916, when the War was declared in 1917 he became part of the 42nd Rainbow division. He made Sergeant by the end of the war. Unfortunately I don’t know anything else about him. I’m 17 and I find it so insane that he was fighting in France when he was my age. One more thing, he was 58 when my Grandmother was born!
Rainbow division was a legendary group of fellas.
the throwaway joke of Wilson being on twitter was extremely funny
ok
😂 That trench shotguns meme also spot on
I literally want someone to take historical figures and create a channel based off of them interacting on Twitter while using memes 😂
no, it was extreme cringe as others modern memes shoveled into the video.
@@dimas3829 idk, I feel like if Wilson was alive he would make that kind of racist anti German on twitter. plus I see ppl making funny memes about drone bombs which is frankly insane to me

Would you ever consider doing a series of videos on the English Civil Wars?

Hey chaps, just wanted to give you kudos for mentioning the Black Tom explosion. Sadly, the event is often overlooked in most generalized histories of the United State’s involvement in the Great War instead prioritizing the Lusitania and the Zimmerman Telegram exclusively. Good show!
As a Brit, I highly respect the American military during WW1 and WW2. While the claim by some Americans that "America won both wars" is certainly irritating, I can't ignore the achievements of the US military at the time and their great contribution to the Allied war efforts
But we won both wars, we didn’t lose did we?
@@looinrims What I meant was when Americans claim America was the sole reason for the Allied victory. Completely forgetting or neglecting to mention the hard fought contributions of the other Allies
,ww1 ww2 was a European thing but the US put themselves in it

Great work 💪 !
America owes everything to its courageous soldiers. It is hard to believe that america is spending a lot of resources and sacrificing a lot of soldiers in conflicts so far away from its homeland
No country out there is dumb enough to invade the US these days. (Hopefully)
So the fighting has mostly been reserved to helping friends abroad.
America IS those courageous soldiers. They came from there and decided, "This.. This is worth fighting for." And gosh darn did they put up a fight to save the world.

Really hoping that you guys make more on the Pacific theatre in WW2.
The Pacific theatre besides a few battles is often overlooked, The Pacific War was one of horror and brutality as the Japanese Army were relentless and American soldiers and marines became hardened veterans

@@A_reasonable_individual42 And much like any push to leave the Union: Its gonna be given a hard "understandable, but impossible, good day" by BOTH parties.
America can relax being the world hegemon for a bit these days. It's been "letting go", quoting Sweet from GTA San Andreas.
@@jameskarg3240 Any state wishing to leave the union will face a lot of obstacles: America will pull its connections to get the world to boycott the leaving state, and America now has more of an excuse to invade the state to "liberate" it. Against the rest of the union, the state couldn't possibly win. Unless it's multiple states who leave, but even then, the White House can just have them boycotted all the same, neutering their ability to maintain their American luxuries, let alone the ability to wage war. Moreover, the leaving state now has less ability to tap into "I am part of the USA so back off" aura when dealing with stuff like illegal immigration and the cartels.
I watched this like a movie. Great work guys!
way to go covering one the least covered sides in these wars!

WW1 & WW2 - so little learned for the crisis of today. Its not that history repeats, its that humans don't really change.
WW3 would be a weird mix of both, cuz on one hand, we kinda had our own great depression, but on the other hand, while we view it as the next war to end all wars, it's guaranteed to lead to WW4
@@jvbutalid8316 Still don't understand why the US seems to have learned so little from them and hell bent on repeating the same, at least from a morale/ethical point of view, mistakes. On the cynical side of things, waiting for the time where Europe has lost millions of people before going into actual action does strengthen the relative position of the US however I don't think this is the actual calculus of the people in power, its just a "benificial" side effect
@@emildavidsen1404 In case you think I'm American, nah I'm not. Never been to Murica either. I'm just a dude seeing America from the outside.
Anyhow, probably the biggest lesson America has learned from WW1 and WW2 was that it had to step up to promote global peace and freedom. Yeah, the Cold War is prolly hotter than WW2 because it involved more of the world more than WW2 ever did, but at least more peaceful ways of contest were employed. What about freedom? Well, decolonization happened left and right, and the Great Powers of Europe got screwed over by their colonies, one way or another (think of the French and the Vietnamese, and the British and the Egyptians). All those "mistakes" it did were ultimately justified because it kinda ended well for the world.
Meanwhile, "beating" the Soviet Union gave America a different lesson; from the 90s onwards, it has all the cards on the table, and can do whatever it wants. With a change of presidency it can appear extremely inept and weak on the global stage like it does now, and on the other appear as if an omnipotent world policeman. It perfected that lesson HARD. Reminds me of the Global War on Terror.
This China crisis can be resolved by choking the right trade lanes. The Ukraine crisis can be resolved by boots on the ground at this point in time. It could've even been resolved by a strong deterrence before it even started. The Israel situation can be resolved with a change to a president who's actually intimidating and walks the talk occasionally to keep up the facade. America could do that, but I've got the suspicion that it, or at least its elites, they don't want to at the moment, because they are interested in other things. California, for God's sake, only cleaned its streets for Xi Jinping of all people. Some elites make career of advocating for war, others for accommodating the underprivileged, others for lining the Treasury with as many Benjamins as possible, others for God knows what. All of this has become just a game for America, especially since the 90s, my fellow UA-cam commenter. America can do whatever it wants, and is so privileged that in the face of the absolute power it had since beating the Soviets (it still had some degree of absolute power right now), a mistake or a hundred don't exactly mean much.
@@jvbutalid8316 im not american either and although I wouldent exactly word it like you've done, I share the overall sentiment. However, the fastest way to loose something is to take it for granted.
@@emildavidsen1404 decadence is dangerous in the long term, indeed.
Great video! Both of my mom's grandfathers participated in D-DAY and my dad is from Micronesia where part of the Pacific theater was fought. My father's country was colonized by Germany, "given" to Japan and then colonized by the US until finally gaining independence in the 80's

One thing that is largely ignored is all of the war crimes commited by the Japanese. It can be argued that their crimes were actually worse than those commited by the Germans. Japan has still not come to terms with the horors commited by Japan during the war.
