@Dod o They almost erased Ottomans from the history. Have you ever checked the Treaty of Sevres? It aimed to drove out Turks from Anatolia where they lived and ruled for 1000 years. It still remains as a serious trauma in Turkish psyche. Caused huge distrust against others. A regular Turkish citizen to this day believes that other countries still wants to carve up the motherland if they had the chance. And it is sadly true in case of Greece, USA, Israel, Russia, and Europe etc.... Because they support separatist Kurdish communist partisans, which are terrorist organisations which caused the death of thousands of civilians for decades in Turkey. Also, the British was the spearhead of the anti-Turk propaganda machine which aimed to change the public opinion on Turks around the Europe. I read it in a Swedish report about the history of anti-Turkism in Europe.
@Lil Rob There is a thin line in being critical and dumb and you are currently doing the latter. Turkey joining the Axis would mean one more enemy to fight for the Allies and vice versa. For the Axis, Turkey meant easy access to Caucauses and the support of the Turkic people inside USSR as well as a route to the Mesopotamia which was oil rich. For the Allies, Turkey meant a buffer zone between the Axis and the Allied colonies, a new frontier which was barely protected by the Italians and led straight into the heart of the German warmachine. The ingenius politicians and the strategists of that era didn't ask for Turkish support just because they found the Turkish culture exotic and then 100 years later a guy named Lil Rob comes and says that Turkey would have made no difference in the light of professional views.

Turkey's reasons for staying out of the war are completely sensible. Imagine that you're a a relatively minor Euro/Asian power still recovering from a destructive war against the European powers just twenty years earlier and literally a century of mismanagement under the Ottomans and later Young Turks. Your economy has been hit hard by the Great Depression, your military is still largely using technology from WWI and the 1920s, with few tanks, planes, anti-aircraft weapons, modern warships, and almost no industrial capacity to produce weaponry on a large scale. Then, add to that the shock of watching the destruction of Guernica by the Luftwaffe in Spain, the brutality of the Japanese invasion of China, the devastation brought on by Mussolini's invasion of Abyssinia. And this isn't even the main show. This is only a fraction of the power of the Axis powers. 1939 rolls around, and you awkwardly sit there and watch as Hitler invades Poland. And not just invades, he absolutely annihilates Poland, with the Wehrmacht destroying entire Polish divisions despite their spirited resistance, with the Luftwaffe wiping entire cities off the map, the refugees are fleeing, everything is on fire. And before you know it, the Nazis are now scorching their way through Belgium, Netherlands, Denmark, Yugoslavia, Greece. France, your main ally on continental Europe, and the biggest powers in the world is toppled in like a month by the Nazis. Do you seriously think you'll be doing your people ANY favors by joining the war just because Britain, a country who you're not even sure how much you really like, wants you to join? Best case scenario is that you are rapidly defeated and maybe liberated God knows when. And you're not even sure if that's a best case scenario, because while you may want Britain, France and potentially America to come kick the Nazis out, you know more than likely, it's the Soviets who'll "liberate" you. And you saw pretty clearly what Soviet "liberation" looks like in Eastern Poland and Finland. Even if, by some miracle you hold your own and make it to the end of the war, your economy is destroyed, your country has been bombed to shit, and for what? So you can get some holdings in the Middle East and Balkans that you didn't even really want? The cost benefit analysis simply did not favor war.
Excellent analysis and summary. Not even the majority of Turkish people today are capable of understanding the points you have made and some are still pining after the "missed opportunity" of grabbing back the Aegean islands, parts of the Balkans and Middle East. All sensible people know that they're enjoying a phantasy version of history as Turkey would very likely end up with considerable territorial loss, regardless of which major power would be the "liberator". In the case of Soviets bringing "liberation", it would probably be parts of Eastern Turkey and the Straits, and in the case of the Allies, southeastern parts, possibly the Aegean coast and naturally the Straits. The economic hardships suffered by Turkish people during WW2 years and still remembered by the old generation and very often blamed on the leaders of that period, would simply be nothing compared with the type of suffering either the Axis or the Soviet sides would inflict on the country, had Turkey joined the war willingly or otherwise.

Churchill said ''10 Squadrons of Royal Air Force'' İnönü smiled and answered ''10 squadron of Royal Air Force protecting you right now but you promising me just 2 squadrons of your air force..''

Great video! It would also be worth to mention that Hatay province (a French mandate) was returned back to Turkey in 1939 for Turkey to stay neutral and not to join Germany.
There is another reason that you missed out. An earthquake struck Turkey's eastern Erzincan Province at 1:57:23 a.m. on 27 December 1939 local time with a moment magnitude of 7.8. The earthquake was the most severe natural loss of life in Turkey in the 20th century, with 32,968 dead, and some 100,000 injured.
Almost everyone in Turkey agrees that Inonu's best accomplishment was to keep Turkey out of WW2, regardless of whether they like or hate him. And he was involved in Turkish politics until 1970s
@@georgeevangel4292 you are either misinformed or just simply prefer to ignore facts. Disregarding your aspirations to stir up a comment fight, know that Ataturk was a mere lieutenant colonel during 1915.

Ismet inonu was an ottoman army officer just like ataturk and they saw all the shits happened in balkan wars, ww1 and independence war. So they knew exactly what they shouldnt do
why would the turkish government want to bring back an empire that had a carppy economy and just a bad country in itself? the technology sucked, industry was weak and took a long time to catch up with newer technologies
Ataturk mocked mussolini and hitler to his friends. he said these privates have never known the war. he said in war there is no real victory. you lose less then the invaded country and call it a win. but real victory is won by economic and societal progress. he was a goat.
Hello A. Switzerland controlled several train tunnels that connected Germany and Italy, and were not shy about showing how they had rigged them to exploded the second they were attacked. B. Nazi sympathizers inside Switzerland were used as go betweens to import materials to the blockaded German economy
Not participating in WW2 was Inonu’s one of the best political decisions ever. Turkey’s economy was heavily affected by the war, but at least the soldiers didn’t die for a war that doesn’t even concern Turkey.
this time it wouldve been an axis victory, turkeys position was way too strategic for the axis, meaning they get entry to oil fields and also persia, africa and the caucasus
Please make videos about this Why people in Madagascar are related to present day Indonesian people? Why did Japan colonize Korea? How did Portugal colonize Macau? Why Sri Lanka isn't part of India? Why did Bangladesh separate itself from Pakistan? Why did British fail to colonize Nepal?
Japan colonized Korea because they wanted resources, Sri Lanka isn’t part of India for cultural differences, And the British never got Nepal because it was hard to conquer the mountainous land.
0:49 Turkey would actually look like a submarine if you remove the Gallipoli peninsula, connect Eastern Thrace and the Kocaeli peninsula together, and then rotate it so that it sticking straight up.
Well the colonial yoke was transferred from spain, portugal to the local elite, kind of. So yeah they were pretty much a colony still in every practical sense
The reason we didn't join the war makes sense. 15 years ago, you were rebuilding a state from the ashes of the empire. Within 15 years you are making major reforms in the military, technology and social fields. The whole world respects you and takes you as an example, even the colonial states follow in your footsteps and gain their independence. And then you will find yourself in the midst of a great war. The policy we pursued in World War II is a perfect balance policy. Intelligence 100.
Actually not only Turkey but almost all countries in Europe tried to keep away from any conflict with Nazi Germany before the beginning of WW2. First Britain, then Soviets signed treaties with Germany. Turkey had a bit of luck since Hitler had to deal with other big countries before Hitler's arm could rich to it. However one shouldn't underestimate the political ability of Turkish president Inonu to carry out a state of art balance politics between the two sides of the war.
Hfar not true turkey still mobilized its troops for a possible invasion.People weren't able to find a loaf of bread,almost all of the major industries that turkey made money on,shrinked during ww2.There was uncertainty and paranoia on whether any of the major powers that turkey is surrounded by will attack or not.Staying neutral isn't easy as you think.
@@wanshitong7877 *shrug* What can I say? I consider any death toll under half a million/fewer than 1 in 100 total population deaths to be doing better than most of the countries who fought in that war. Poland lost a sixth of its total population to the war and subsequent occupation, the USSR's death toll reached a quarter of a billion, and China's fifteen million plus death toll is second only to the USSR's. And hundreds of thousands more would die in each of these countries due to war related famine, not to mention the economic instability that would linger for decades after. In short, Turkey did better than many countries from 1939-1945 on the grounds that it's population didn't get literally decimated by getting involved in the most brutal conflict mankind has ever seen. Turkey may not have done well, but in this regard they at least did better.
Turkey is indeed one of the most unique countries in the world. Not part of the EU, but also not part of the Asia either. Not a great power, but has never been a colony either. A completely separate actor on its own. And the summary was absolutely correct: "Not our fight." literally.
If ı have to say as a Turk, we had suffered heavy losses by fighting on many fronts in the ww1. Even though we saved our lands from occupation, we were under heavy debt because Germany lost. The country was not economically well. Besides, the ottoman was demolished and the new secular state had just been established(we are grateful to Atatürk). With such promlems in the country, the last thing we needed was another war. We would had no benefit in this.

İnönü looked at Churchill and asked ''How many of your forces in Middle East protecting you from getting attacked by Germans right now?'' Churchill said ''10 Squadrons of Royal Air Force'' İnönü smiled and answered ''10 squadron of Royal Air Force protecting you right now but you promising me just 2 squadrons of your air force..''

You missed the whole dismantling of the Ottoman Empire after WW1. The memories of that would have weighed heavily on the minds of Turkey's leaders.

Hello A. Switzerland controlled several train tunnels that connected Germany and Italy, and were not shy about showing how they had rigged them to exploded the second they were attacked.
B. Nazi sympathizers inside Switzerland were used as go betweens to import materials to the blockaded German economy
Not really neutral, they aided the Germans during the war.
Not participating in WW2 was Inonu’s one of the best political decisions ever. Turkey’s economy was heavily affected by the war, but at least the soldiers didn’t die for a war that doesn’t even concern Turkey.

The reason we didn't join the war makes sense. 15 years ago, you were rebuilding a state from the ashes of the empire. Within 15 years you are making major reforms in the military, technology and social fields. The whole world respects you and takes you as an example, even the colonial states follow in your footsteps and gain their independence. And then you will find yourself in the midst of a great war. The policy we pursued in World War II is a perfect balance policy. Intelligence 100.
and now look at us. Thanks to erdogan and his rejime we have lost that respect
Actually not only Turkey but almost all countries in Europe tried to keep away from any conflict with Nazi Germany before the beginning of WW2. First Britain, then Soviets signed treaties with Germany. Turkey had a bit of luck since Hitler had to deal with other big countries before Hitler's arm could rich to it. However one shouldn't underestimate the political ability of Turkish president Inonu to carry out a state of art balance politics between the two sides of the war.

Hfar Turkey didnt came out of the war
Hfar not true turkey still mobilized its troops for a possible invasion.People weren't able to find a loaf of bread,almost all of the major industries that turkey made money on,shrinked during ww2.There was uncertainty and paranoia on whether any of the major powers that turkey is surrounded by will attack or not.Staying neutral isn't easy as you think.
@@wanshitong7877 This is all true. But I did not say it came out well. I said it came out better than most.
Hfar by most do you mean axis or allies/comintern ? because if its the latter again not true.
@@wanshitong7877 *shrug* What can I say? I consider any death toll under half a million/fewer than 1 in 100 total population deaths to be doing better than most of the countries who fought in that war. Poland lost a sixth of its total population to the war and subsequent occupation, the USSR's death toll reached a quarter of a billion, and China's fifteen million plus death toll is second only to the USSR's. And hundreds of thousands more would die in each of these countries due to war related famine, not to mention the economic instability that would linger for decades after.
In short, Turkey did better than many countries from 1939-1945 on the grounds that it's population didn't get literally decimated by getting involved in the most brutal conflict mankind has ever seen. Turkey may not have done well, but in this regard they at least did better.
Turkey is indeed one of the most unique countries in the world. Not part of the EU, but also not part of the Asia either. Not a great power, but has never been a colony either. A completely separate actor on its own. And the summary was absolutely correct: "Not our fight." literally.
