Can you talk about the Korean Miracle?
FLY HIGH MATPAT
How has this guy gone from animated monty python to making a better documentary that actual television stations
That is a good way of putting it.
@@nathanseper8738 yeah
Real ones remember the vic2 tutorials
than*
UA-camrs making documentaries with higher production values than TV stations seems to be the standard these days.
It boggles the mind that one dude with a computer is able to do better than a company with dozens of employees with the best equipment available and access to subject experts, yet here we are.
45:25, Togo really went ahead and said GG
“Stand proud, Rostovensky. You were strong.”
-ToGOAT
This happens more than you think once the fighting is over.
"You were magnificent, Rostovensky. I shall remember your name for as long as i live."
In the end, Makarov committed the same old mistake that most often happens with great generals.
He didn't appoint a successor, no one stepped up and things took a turn for the worse. It's a classic.
To be fair he was basically the only competent admiral the russian had
@@TheFrenchBaguettesone of two. Rozhestvensky was fairly competent himself, but the problem was he fleet was iced in much of the time and the sailors were conscripts who rarely saw the sea. He was dealt a really, REALLY bad hand. That he made it to Asia alone was a miracle.
@@wesleyfravel5149 Hm I wonder They Won't Train those Conscripts how to doing their job First Before start expedition at least Some Basic Stuff or Capital Forced Them to start Expedition without prepare
@@Copy-x2k What? That’s preposterous. Why do any of that when you can just… not bother?
@@Copy-x2kif I remember correctly, a lot of those conscripts and reserves came last minute (relatively speaking), plus lots of resources were being directed towards the war.
So even when they tried to perform drills, such as gunnery, it was extremely limited by logistics.
15:50 OK the navy general rolled ONE. Critical Hit on the battleship. GAME OVER...RESULT OF FAILURE YOUR OWN SHIP SUNK.
he had a plan, but luck said no
Man, what if Makarov survived? Such an interesting scenario
A navy general? I guess we're calling the land military officers army admirals then!
@Historyguy-xu5ht fun fact his family is famous for the Russian Milltary hand gun of same name Pistolet Makorov M9 in 9×18 Makorov which became the standard Russian army sidearm of 1955# I believe his Great Grand Son was the gun maker# built in State own Factorys like the main on Of Tual# there is Chinese copys but unlike the original Russian don't have red colored grips which r the Russian Identification for them as opposed too Chinese Garbage version r.#mostly because Chinese type jam way too much.
@@shinsenshogun900 *The athenians were know by their use of Army Admirals and they had alexander, the "Temistocles"*
20:16 uncle iroh, but he doesn’t give up the siege
Avatar: The Last Airbender (and Legend of Kora) have been heavily inspired by East and North Asian culture, so it's not improbable that some aspects of the show could have been inspired by events such as this one, especially since the Fire Nation bears much resemblance to Japan and their rise to glory (and war crimes).
leaves from the vine
Like fragile tiny shells
Drifting in the foam
brave soldier boy comes marching home
in the words of Admiral Togo "Defeat is a common fate of a soldier. There is nothing to be ashamed of in it. The great point is whether we have performed our duty."
‘And honor died with it’
11:42
"...Suprise attack against the Russian Pacific fleet"
_This will be a recurring theme_
Spoilers
They did the same to the Chinese during the First Sino Japanese War. The Japanese do not formally declare war even on themselves. I remember reading that preemptive attacks were a core part of their warrior culture.
to be fair they are not know for there navy
Russia has this magnet style navy, which nations are attracted to it and do a surprise attack
@@galCheri TBH it would be surprise for them even if they would be going to combat.
Rozhestvensky's trip around the world with the second pacific squadron is an adventure worthy of its own hours long video, it plays out like a D&D campaign gone wrong
I want a dark comedy movie made out of that voyage. The random nonsense that happened is prime dark comedy gold.
I mean, how did the Kamchatka keep screwing up as badly as it did?
It started out bad, got worse, then the wild animals showed up, then it all got destroyed in one day
@@alexander1112000never can be too careful of torpedo boats
@@Balrog-tf3bg until the torpedo boats being present is actually a possibility
@@alexander1112000'Do you see torpedo boats?'
I love the intro, the dialogue is from ghost of tsushima i believe.
Thanks for the video
Yes it is and it’s great
Fitting since it's (finally, thank God) coming to PC.
@@Warrior-Of-Virtue When?
@@reverie314 May 16th
It’s definitely relevant. After all, the Baltic Fleet’s clash with Japan’s Imperial Navy is called The Battle of Tsushima
Lumber company causing a massive war is almost as superficially absurd as an arch duke getting shot starting an immensely greater slaughter
Let's not forget that a war was almost started because of a pig.
It was actually Russia who start WW1. By invading Austria-Hungary.
Russia also started WW2 by invading Poland with Nazi Germany.
Russia trying start WW3 by invading Ukraine, is nothing unexpected.
@@TheRezrothat's blatantly false, WW1 was started when Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia. Russia only joined because of a previous alliance, same as everyone else.
@@Sandycheeks6699 And who sponsored Serbian freedom fighters? Russia only join this war to cover humiliating defeat during Ruso-Japanese war.
@@TheRezro erm, the freedom fighters (the black hand)were bosnian, Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia because Serbia was giving resources to the black hand, Russia declared war on Austria-hungary because Russia had a pact with Serbia
P.S. i had to repeat names to make it clearer
Bro i cant belive how far you have come from teaching me vic2 now whole documentary I hope their is even more of this in the future great work my man
HOI4 REDDIT ENCIRCLEMENT. Actually made me laugh so hard, good one Ezekiel.
Alex the Rambler would be proud lmao
The animations and use of countryballs here are just so beautiful. What an amazing video about an incredible part of the 20th century. Thank you Ezekiel for giving us such an amazing video.
The introduction with Ghost of Tsushima dialogue is so amazing. I can Imagine that this would fit perfectly in the Russo Japanese War.
What noobs. If I was the Emperor I whould've'have spammed Yari Ashigaru and won in ten turns flat. If I was Russian it would've been Tsar's Guard. Just build farms, ports and roads, don't forget the guild, and you're all good.
Based total war reference
I've been waiting for this since you released the video about the Meiji restoration, and you did not disappoint.
japan said “screw it” and fought a war with Russia and surprised everyone by actually winning
(Just to simplify)
A peculiar fact is that Nogi single-handedly managed to Make Seppuku Great Again. At the time, it was widely regarded in Meiji Japan as old-fashioned and belonging in the country's barbaric past. With a war hero like Nogi doing it, public perception of seppuku changed drastically. Thus, in his own way, Nogi contributed to the growth of the cult of honourable sacrifice and disregard for one's own survival that culminated in WW2.
My greatgreatgrandfather was an East Prussian German who lived in Russia just kilometers away grom the German border. Sadly he was conscripted into the Russian Army and fell in the war. May he rest in peace.
Damn. Send from the furthest western part of the Empire all the way to the east.
"They decided to take the best of both men's plans"
Huh, pretty clever, almost too clever.
"...throw them out, and impliment the most self-defeating strategy possible."
Yeah I should've seen that coming.
Do you see Torpedo Boats?
No lol
@@HxdrxYT Kamchatka would disagree
@@anelstarcevic696 The time Kamchatka lost the fleet was probably the happiest for the admiral of the whole trip. Too bad she found the fleet again later. Same with the "reinforcements".
@kaltaron1284 honestly it's impressive that the reinforcement squadron even found the main fleet
@@lucasfragoso7634 It should have been impossible for them to catch up but they "cheated" by going through Suez and then there was the whole Madagaskar episode.
I also love that the Russians sent resupplies once. Instead of shells it was mostly winter gear. Famously very useful around Africa and the Indian Ocean.
You probably know Drachinifel's two-parter? If not, I recommend to check it out.
Thanks!
I love this channel, you dived into Asian history which aren’t really much covered. At least the animated ones. Your vids also keeps getting better and better!
I love how you can tell the point when war stops being "fun" and becomes endless bloodshed for no reason but influence and territorial gain.
Thanks!
General Nogi really reminds Uncle Iroh from the Avatar.
Also the siege of Port Arthur can be compared with the siege of Ba-Sing-Se
I knew it sounded similar too something I had seen before did not realize it was that though
"Leaves from the vine...."
@KaiHung-wv3uljust everyone else I cried when he sang that song at the end of his short story cuz it's similar too the Japanese general in 1904 especially how Iroh puts the picture of his only son near the tree along with those incense in a holder next too said tree so sad😢 I believe iroh was modeled after the Japanese General!
Your quality just keeps getting better and better each video!
How the heck did you make such a masterpiece in a single month!!??!
Props to you fr.
"Also, check bounced. Please send again" 35:50 lmao
Countryballs documentary!
Edit: The intro is really well made. You put your heart into this. The voices were so good
This is amazingly done. Your videos just keep getting better and better. I really look forward to what you will deliver in the future.
The story of the Second Pacific Squadron, if you don't know it, is amazing and practically a Monty Python skit. This video doesn't go into it much but if you have the time, after watching you should read up on or watch a video dedicated to it.
2:28 do i see the "up next" theme for a video being chamberlain saves the world? Knowing the usual telling of ww2, that sounds interesting (or maybe ironic idk)
If I recall correctly, Japan's 'victory' was celebrated by Finnish people since Finland back then was under Russian rule.
Russia not being prepared to fight wars against weaker neighbors seems to be a trend
It just shows how russian goverment apatatus is
They always seem to underestimate enemy capabilities
Yet given enough time and losses the russians snowball into a formidable fighting force
Russia invading smaller neighboring states: 🤪
Russia defending against brutal invasion: 👹
Lol, I love comments like this end up aging like milk has soon has they made 🤣
"Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me thrice, I should stop drinking vodka" -Russians
Gotta love the Iroh reference
Out bloody standing Ezekiel. Loved it very much.
The Ghost of Tsushima intro is goated.
Fun Fact:Montenegro jpined on the side of the russians in the war and were left out from the treaty so they stayed in war with japan for ower 200 years untile 2006.
It was one century ago rather than two.
Love this video, The amount of effort put in is incredible.
I love the Uncle Iroh reference you made. It hits home.
that opening is the most dramatic use of Countryballs I've ever seen
This is fantastic, i love the animation.
It's always a good day when CallMeEzekiel uploads.
0:00 to 0:42. Those were lines from "Ghost of Tsushima" when Saki and his uncle are arguing about honor.
Reave instead of leave was a very nice touch on the japanese accent, they dont have Ls
I started the video 30 seconds ago but I already know this has just made my day. I loooove the Russo-Japanese war. LIKED AND SUBSCRIBED! 🤣 ok you're about to stop talking about Patreon, see ya
This video was a lot of fun! Great job. I love your video style. Keep up the great work.
I’m literally learning this in my U.S. world history class. Tysm ❤️
Lucky. We never learned about this war once in my high school classes
If you want to see a really interesting anime which involves this war, "Golden Kamuey" is a really good one!
20:22 I can just hear "Leaves from the vine" from this image.
What’s crazy about this era is that an entire squadron could actually disappear and there’s next to nothing a nation could do about it
Love the total war music you use in some of these videos 👍
Da : (Russian for Yes)
Net : (Russian for No)
Russians: So let me guess this right, you just decided to shoot up fishing Boats, BRITISH, GERMAN, SWEDISH, and FRENCH and Fishing boats?
Admiral: ... Da.
Russians: But you halted fire and helped rescue the survivors?
Admiral: Net! We ran away!
Russians: Where were you running to?
Admiral: Suez
Russians: The same Suez controlled by the British.
Admiral: Da.
Russians: Via British controlled Gibraltar?
Admiral: Da
Russians: So you were running away from the British by running to the British? What part of this plan did you think about?
And then you lost, all, I repeat all your battleships, hit nothing and only sank 3 torpedo boats (technicaly 0 since the japanese accidently rammed their own boats in a night attack) : DA...
Another great video! 🪖
Highest honor of being watched while I eat lunch… peak countryball history.
You knoe this is one of the channels that i see so many Philippine countryball and as a filipino myself thank you
Not ending this video with "On the Hills of Manchuria" is a big miss, but still a great video
Every CallMeEzekiel video thumbnail be like: [insert topic]? Not in my [insert country]
Great video as always 🪖!
Love ur vids
Yo, Napoleon Total War music!🪖
This guy uses the most dumb music from that franchise for things. He used Japanese music to represent China so many times.
@@nicholasgutierrez9940 I don't care, this is good music
Damn this weather sir! Wet powder makes misfires a certainty
@@nicholasgutierrez9940And he used video game music for Russia. Stop being immature.
Im in love with your content dude keep up the great work
these are some of the best geography videos I've ever seen
Excellent content!
20:16 ...Uncle iron singing soldier boy come marching home reference? 🪖
雪の進軍は素晴らしい歌。
この動画いいぞ。
お疲れ様、エゼキルさん。
This is my favorite UA-cam channel ngl
The quality of this video is incredibly high
Well-made! Thank you for your hard work!
I am a simple man, I hear the Total War Napoleon soundtrack, I like.
20:20 Uncle Iroh
A man of high culture ,I see
Never thought I'd hear the word "madlad" used unironically in a history video lol
Love your vids man keep it up :)
27:30 they should've shouted "I AM IMMORTAL" at the top of their lungs
Golden kamuy reference?
@@SatriaSetiawan-v9c you would be correct
@@SatriaSetiawan-v9c yes
2:01 say incredible journey I’ll wait and still smile
I love the amount of detail he puts in his videos ❤
Ain't no one saying how that first minute was straight out of ghost of Tsushima
Love the total war music
DUDE WAKE UP NEW AUTISTIC HISTORICAL COUNTRYBALL VIDEO DROPPED 🎉🎉🔥🔥🔥🔥
Would be really funny if you would do a full separate video on the 2nd Pacific Squadron.
going to need this soundtrack you used 😮💨
It's a mix of the Napoleon Total War soundtrack and the Victoria II soundtrack.
I'm happy I have Golden Kamuy but man I wish Japan used this war more often in media. As controversial as their history was in the first half of the 20th century, it has so much beautiful complexity that I could watch endlessly.
So, I had heard of this war, mostly because of the High-Seas Sh@t-Show that was the voyage of the Second Pacific Squadron
20:16 (reading the subtitles)
Me: "Wait, General's penins be happy????"
Golden Honey: "It says 'the General's arrival on the peninsula would not be a Happy one'".
Good Work, this was informative and funny.
It was good alright all I am saying...
Ur still here
Beans
These videos are so ####### good. It has made truly like history and your channel. Very well made videos that are almost 1 hour long.
Keep up the GREAT work.🫡🔥❤️🇪🇪
Man i really pity Nogi story, that guy suffered even in victory.
This is some high quality video!
Easiest subscribe of my life! Great content thanks! 🔥
all started by... A LUMBER COMPANY?!?!?!?1/1??!?!?
Pinoy ball here, happy to watch your videos :>
I find it funny that while the second Pacific's squadron is being portrayed as incompetent in this video, it's still nowhere near the reality of how much of a disaster that expedition was.
It was a miracle it even got to near Korea in the first place. Some of the ships were even just old yachts with guns slapped on them.
50 Minutes on the Russo-Japanese war? Christmas must have come early!
i love the usage of NTW soundtrack
this is the only time ive heard the name MAKAROV being used outside of call of duty lmao
This animation style. I love it
Japanese tactics at Port Arthur are incredibly similar to infantry attacks in WW1. WW1 Generals never learn even when it was heavally documented by international reporters.
Thank you for talking about this war. My great Grandfather lost his arm in this war. Glad he made it out alive.
