Naniiiii!!!

We went only there to lame their boars and eat their sheep
The 31st Infantry Regiment is probably the most hard-luck regiment in the US Army. Their first combat deployment was to Siberia. Their next combat was on Bataan in the Philippines and were subject to the Bataan Death March. In the Korean War they were at Chosin Reservoir. Poor bastards.
The frozen chosen.
The same......wow. I did not know that.
Indeed very hard-luck, they also fought in China together with the 4th Marine regiment.
That’s awful.
There a proud regiment and they take pride in the fact they went through all those things and still came back as a regiment
This is the last thing I thought I would know in history.
Knowing Russia and USA once fought absolutely surprised me.
Wait until Russian Reds and Whites invade China.
Me too, I've never thought that it actually happened!!
I wonder what else history hides for me to learn??!
@@deeipomar2366 Try this:
1. The furthest the Greeks have traveled was to Scandinavia.
2. Celts had sizable population in Egypt. They were first invited by Ptolomey II as bodyguards, but they soon settled with families. That means Egypt was at that time place where you could find Celts from Europe and Ethiopian merchants living side by side.
3. Muslim Spain was so well connected that they had plantations of rice. Emirate of Granada financed all their fortresses that Christians had hard time conquering by selling Silk to Italians on nearly an industrial scale.
4. Few Japanese visited Tenochtitlan that was now capital of New Spain and converted to Christianity.
5. Portugese tried to conquer a Sultanate in Somalia and they failed spectaculary. That same Sultante sold Chinese a Giraffe.
6. Sultan Ismail fathered over 1000 children, making him one of the most fertile men in history.
7. Mussolini suggested that, if Jews have to be transported and given home, it should be neither in Madagascar or Palestine, but in Beta Isreal (Ethiopia).
8. That same Wodrow Wilson would invade Mexico and occupy Velcrauz for a decade. This happened because Mexico accidently arrested American crew for smuggling goods. When they realised what they did, Mexico appologiest and offered reparation in return, to with America simply invaded.
9. USA and Soviet Union nearly gave up all the nuclear wepeons. That never happened because Regan was convinced his program Star Wars will succsed, which is arming of the space. It didn't happen for now.
Lol fun fact those same White Russians fought with the IJA during ww2

@Hannibal B China? Cause those guys are (and have) invaded Vietnam and Australia, economically and through their bases in the South China Sea. With no tough foreign policy team in the White House now, China and Russia will press up more and more.
@Hannibal B that's what communism looks like in the real world: a very rich upper clique profiteering off the system. In a country that contains 20% of the world population, that's a lot of billionaires. But they have been implementing more free market policies, as you say.

I actually learned about the Russian Civil War and the Anti-Bolshevik invasion which included the United States. Amazing considering it was an American education. You would not learn that in school now.
I love how those foreign intervening forces who has no idea of local politics decide to mold kingmakers then started infighting among themselves.
Kind of typical if you look at US's interventions in Latin America and South Vietnam.
Since the Bolsheviks were basically German agents at the start, it was more a low stakes low commitment continuation of WW1 than any serious effort to beat the Reds.
So, in 1918 you had to intervene to put pressure on the East German Empire, then the Macedonian front collapses and there's peace, and now you're just kind of pissed at the Bolsheviks and since the British had spent the entire 19th century being rivals with Russia the idea of have a Russian puppet sounded nice.
I get what you're saying, but I think this is significantly different from those other interventions in ways that makes comparison difficult at best.
@@simonmabee100 "Since the Bolsheviks were basically German agents at the start"
Complete nonsense.
@Don't Trigger Me the german sent lenin back to russia but the bolsheviks is definitely not german agent
@Don't Trigger Me This means nothing. The Germans would need a form of control over Lenin after letting him go, which they had not. Therefore the Bolsheviks were not German agents, but Germany just knocked over the first domino piece.
@@AeneasGemini That only happened because Russia happened to boycott the UN at the worst possible time. It's absolutely hilarious.
I have been waiting for someone, anyone to do a short on this subject. Thank you "Kings and Generals"!
Great work on the animations and graphics.
Your videos are always great, but this one was truly a masterpiece.
Fun to watch, plus another great history lesson, Nice work.
Keep up the great work, this is really awesome!!!
Woah, those globes looks amazing!
My favorite channel is back at it again!
Love your videos
Great documentary! Thanks Kings and Generals Team.
It is surprising how little is known about these two interventions. I only knew about them because George Orwell features them in Animal Farm.
Utterly bizarre seeing American and Japanese ground forces on the same side.
Not gonna lie, using the word "liberated" to describe Americans capturing territory in North Asia is pretty fucked up
Lot of propaganda in this video
@@tyroneemail Yeah but that one sentence was especially brazen. Some of the rest I can kinda forgive since obviously his main sources are the US military's claims about itself. But calling that "liberation" indicates a very advanced case of brainworms
Comrade here. I didn't find it strange. Its from american perspective in a military sense. "liberated" as in "cleared of hostiles". Not a case of propaganda imho, the opposite: the very existence of the video is proof of quite the absence of it, you would think anti-sovuet ideology would hide and deny being the invaders.
They're used to picking a side in another country's civil war and calling themselves liberators. It would be politically incorrect for anyone else to do the same.
You do realize it's 2020 and "liberated by the US" almost literally means "occupied" or "installed an authoritarian government"? It's basically a meme.
Been waiting for a good video on this
Between this channel and the cold war channel you guys do amazing work.
Salute!!!!
Americans: Bravely attack, bravely retreat
Any other soldiers in the video: attack, retreat
Throwing stones in a glass house, my friend. Like the Russian Soviets playing the world's greatest victim when invaded by the Nazis, but they're the same Nazis with whom the Russians jointly invaded Poland and divided it between them. Does the Katyn Forest ring a bell?

Is it just me or has this channel been uploading in tuesdays more in addition to the regular thursday/sunday schedule? Absolutely love to see it!!
Excellent historical information that I did not know-Thank you!
I've been watching a lot of this channel called the Great War. And they went quite in depth to the Russian Civil War. So some of these details are familiar to me. Others not so much. A different perspective is always nice. My compliments to all those who made this video a reality.
Terrific as usual. While part way through I remembered a shipmate of mine talking of his uncle being in White Russia after WWI while in the U.S. Army. While enroute to Russia it was discovered he could understand elements of spoken Russian.
Fascinating time period and war. Thanks for covering.
I read about this before but this is the first time that I've seen this on film. Thank you very much for this upload.
From the Australian War Memorial Canberra: “An Allied expeditionary force, including some Australian volunteers, was landed at Murmansk in March 1918 to support the weakening Russian front against Germany. The front was reinforced by further landings at Archangel in August 1918. In supporting the White Russians, the force became involved in operations against the Bolsheviks. To extract the force after the Armistice and after the Russian winter, the North Russia Relief Force was raised in UK, again including Australian volunteers, arriving in North Russia in June 1919. All British forces were evacuated by September 1919.”
Two Australians were awarded a Victoria Cross for actions in North Russia: Corporal Arthur Percy SULLIVAN and Sergeant Samuel George PEARSE. Their Victoria Crosses are on display in the Hall of Valour at the Memorial.
Thank you, that was interesting. But... but... Russia signed a peace treaty with Germany on March 3 (!), 1918. Why didn't your brave soldiers just pack up and head straight back home? Why "getting involved"? It's called invasion, intervention, violation of independence or whatever, isn't it? Why couldn't they just be brave on their own land instead? I know it's the governments that are to blame. Those are rhetorical questions. I'm just sad.
KNG: *mentions Canada at all*

@@jerkizum2793 Not American invasions lol
The United States wanted neither an expedition on a large scale, nor free action by any single country in Siberia. The expedition was obviously limited in its aim, area, and number of forces. This was not the kind df military operations which the Japanese interventionists were expecting to cany out.
Great video like usual
Happy new year kings and generals i wish you all best ❤️
I learned so much new things today. Amazing topic.
The battle of lower tulgas, around the 11:00 minute mark, is an interesting read on wikipedia. A group of soviets charged a field hospital, and the commander ordered all the wounded to be killed, but was stopped by his mistress. While this was happening the Canadian Artillery repositioned their guns, and when the russians eventually left the field hospital to charge at the artillery, they were met by a salvo at point blank range, scattering them.
Thank you for calling them the Entente! Too many people call them by WWII labels Axis / Allies. This is another reason I love this channel.
I love to watch your videos I am your subscriber since 2018

Great video. Never knew this story. The Polar Bear regiment I seen in Ft. Drum when I was there. I believe the Wolfhound are in much more warmer climates these days. Great video, thank you for this enlightenment
It would be fantastic to get a full series on the Russian Civil War. I'd definitely watch that.
All that fighting talked about, only for the casualties to be that few? It's almost as if the invading troops simply marched through without a fight, or the casualties are way higher.
Bolsheviks was busy fighting with Whites, anarchists, poles and others, so they had similar to Allies strength in Northern front with around 10 thousand men just to contain them and they hadn't communications with Siberian forces, there was just pro-bolshevik partisans. It's the reason of such low casualties from both sides
You should make more videos like this
Wonderful work, thank you for clarifying this time period.
Great exposé ! Why not making one more global about the other Western powers interventions in the Russian civil war like France, UK or Japan ?
Someone in 1918: America, Russia has oil
America:
I haven't watched so not sure if covered but Kamchatka had/s oilfields and America wanted to do a deal with Soviet Russia during Lenin's rule to take over Kamchatka in order to put a check on Japan's power seeing as they had plans on expansionism in the region [and possibly Siberia]. It's pretty niche but interesting, Lenin disagreed but still ended up letting the Americans rent the oilfields there.
Damn neocons.
@@shangtsung1362 What?
At the time and until post WWII, the US was the largest and principal producer of oil in the world. The US so dominated the commodity that the embargo imposed upon Japan, by FDR in 1941, convinced the Japanese to attempt the Pearl Harbor attack, since without US oil, its economy would simply collapse.
The Saudi fields and Iraq, Iran and Kuwait did not begin to come on line until the 40s and 50s; nor had the other modern, major oil sources such as Venezuela, Mexico, Canada, Nigeria etc...
Everything in world history has not been inspired by a desire for oil.
Also, the major oil fields in Russia at the time, were between the Black and Caspian Seas, not in Siberia. These were the fields that supplied the USSR in WWII and what Hitler attempted to seize in the Stalingrad campaign in 42.
@@thomassenbart Its a joke, if you cannot take it gtfo
It's always a good video whenever Kolchak shows up.
Great video as always. Production value was out of this world on this one. On the subject of White Russia, perhaps a video about Pyotr Wrangel could be made one day? Fascinating guy who looked like he came out of a portal from the Middle Ages and united the Cossacks against the Reds.
No Partisans of Amur song in the end? Honestly, I was expecting it very much after hearing Kalinka playing in the background in the latest Rus video.
I watch your channel regularly but was excited to see this as you showed the 27th Infantry Regiments crest in the thumbnail. I served with the "Wolfhounds" in the 1990's. Learned about our involvement in Russia back then as it played a large role in the Regiments identity.
I feel like WWI isn't something you guys do a lot so this is awesome!
I was assigned to the 3rd battalion, 27th Infantry regiment in 1989 and 1990. Nice to see a little Wolfhound history. In December of 89 through February of 90 we added Operation Just Cause (Panama) to our regimental colors.
Americans “liberating” Russian towns/villages on their own soil? Come on K&G
Lmao imagine defending bolsheviks
Bolsheviks are not representatives of the Russian State. No country recognized the Soviets as a state, similar to how we do not recognize Al Qaida as an "Afghan" state. It is just a terrorist organization.
@@bringbackmy90s But the Bolsheviks did become the representatives of Russia (obviously for a lot of people even to begin with), and you're crying about the country and every other one for recognizing it.
@@tritium1998 So the Taliban did become representatives of Afghanistan, by your logic, and North Koreans representatives of the whole Korean Peninsula. A totally false assumption, even the bolsheviks never called their state officially "Russia" or a "successor-state" to any Russian state, as such thing was considered "Tsarist" and "reactionary". They regarded Russia just as a "place d'armes" / carrier for World Revolution and for their expansion into Central Europe, and only when that failed after being stopped in Warsaw, they had to settle for "Russia". Besides this video is about the early years, when nobody recognized the bandit and terrorist groups as a legit state, even Lenin admitted he had no control over all of them. So whatever you are crying about, it is not relevant for the period in this video. Soviets are not the same thing as "Russia", just as North Korea and South Korea are not successor states or anything like that.
@@bringbackmy90s Lmfao imagine if Russia came to "liberate" US towns
What is the songs title at 19:13 I hear this a lot but never could find it.
Amazing
dat's some epic stuff
Will you do the Balkan Wars in 1912 and 1913
Yes, yes. The foreign forces intervening in a civil war and capturing cities are actually "liberating" those and when they fall back it is brave retreat, while the forces fighting with popular appeal on their own soil just "flees" or conquers cities.
I have to say, not many people can show their bias so subtly, but surely didn't expect such from K&G.
The music is great too
Forget the video, those globes are so cool 🤯
