During the siege, all 8 legations (U.S./British/French/German/Russian/Austro-Hungarian/Italian/Japanese) were defended by naval units: USMC, Royal Marines, French “Fusiliers Marins”, German and Austro-Hungarian “Seebatalion”, Imperial russian naval batallions and Japanese “Rikusentai”. Only exception were the Italian “Belisageri”, as they were not (to my knowledge) navy units. However most relief troops were army units, such as the British Army of India and the Imperial Russian Army.
@@jacktattis Legations were usually guarded by "navy" units, which had more experience in colonial deployments.

One of the great iconic epics they made...along with zulu and lawrence of arabia. Classic films with deep feeling and a fantastic cast to carry the story the way it was meant to be told
It was, until McKinley announced the "open door" policy for China, an idea of NOT carving China up into colonies. I heard Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany was so pissed off about that he ordered invasion plans drawn up to invade the US mainland. The German general staff was aghast, but followed orders, hoping the Kaiser would cool off by the time they were done. When they presented the plans to him they were horrified when Wilhelm said something about "implementing them". The Germans started the preliminaries when the Kaiser came back from some sort of diplomatic thing in Europe. He had met US president Teddy Roosevelt and became buddies, hence the plans, to the relieve of the German high command, were shelved. Teddy ended up building up the US navy during his presidency, so those plans became unworkable.
Vi esta película por primera vez en tv en febrero 1978 (ojo, que por la tarde habían puesto "murieron con las botas puestas 😃"), y todavía hoy me emociono igual con este final. Sobre todo recordando el comentario de mi padre recordando un hecho igual en la guerra civil española.
This is nothing like how the relief happened. What a shameful movie. They didnt just walk in. There was street to street fighting in the sieged city, walls had to be scaled or blown up. It was a whole operation within itself that practically deserves its own movie.
Anyone who studied this period of Chinese History knows that. But this movie had enough action and drama scenes in it by this point. They needed a quick ending.
Very wholesome when the relief arrived. Reminds me of a passage of the sepoy rebellion in India, when kilted scots relieved a city and proceeded to hug kiss the besieged children with tears of happiness in their eyes.
4:24 -- Italy Bersaglieri were always a crack outfit, in spite of the bad reputation the Italians got in WW2. They were wearing those plumes when they charged the American 1st Division at Gafsa in 1943. The GIs kept shelling them, of course, but they were a brave bunch.
@@tsr207 -- The Italian conscripts the Greeks and British humiliated in 1940 and 1941 didn't really want to be there and were terribly trained. After those failures, the Italian military in North Africa got its act together and the Italians who served alongside Rommel were fairly well trained and equipped. That professional army, as it happened, was almost entirely lost in the Tunisian surrender in May of 1943. The conscripts left behind in Sicily did not want to die for Mussolini and surrendered in droves. Sadly, some of the bravest Italians were those fighting the Germans in Italy in 1943 and 1944. Their senior leaders deserted them, the Germans captured most and enslaved them, executing about eight thousand junior officers out of spite.
Bro theres this one scene that made me think of bravery is this one officer with a revolver almost teached a whole crowd of boxers a lesson then he died after hitting them with his gun he dosent care if he has no ammo and no time to reload this guy died it was the most emotional moment 😢
German here: There are 3 Voices. They go: "Das sind ja die Unseren!" "Die Uns´ren!" "Mensch, das sind ja die Unseren" That translates to: "Those are ours (our Troops/men)! They are ours! Wow, those are ours!".

During the siege, all 8 legations (U.S./British/French/German/Russian/Austro-Hungarian/Italian/Japanese) were defended by naval units:

Nightingale Nightingale, little bird!
When all those reinforcements came in I fucking got the chills.
The saddest part about this movie is all of the actors here are dead now. :((
This was made in the 60s the extras were under thirty and the lead actor was in his 30s but probably most of them died

Credits to those who discovered these songs
If Austria Hungary were there, the song I think would be there would be Bruckerjager
Or Pariser Einzugsmarsch
It's not "Scotland The Brave" - it's also known as "Blue Bonnets Over The Border."
one of my favorite hestons
One of the great iconic epics they made...along with zulu and lawrence of arabia. Classic films with deep feeling and a fantastic cast to carry the story the way it was meant to be told
Yeah but in this film they cut out the war crimes the colonialist did after they won
The song it’s the best change my mind
which one?
@@YF-23_Enjoyer indian i think
Can somebody tell me the music the British calvary Raj were making?
1:40 i love how the rainbow appeared lol
My grandfather's regiment, the 9th U.S. Regulars (2nd Division) took part in that, which is why they're called "The Manchus"!
4:39 I like the russian imperial army
Taking the cavalry to the rescue to another level.
Whats the name of the song that played in the indian calvalry?
Anyone know the name of the song when the Russians are marching?
@Ro Ca thank you!
@Ro Ca но как ты узнал?
@@Tyler12532 i think he would be the one to know
The Nightingale March!
Truly a time of great friendship between the allied powers.
its colonial powers dividing and conquering. nothing to admire here
It was, until McKinley announced the "open door" policy for China, an idea of NOT carving China up into colonies. I heard Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany was so pissed off about that he ordered invasion plans drawn up to invade the US mainland. The German general staff was aghast, but followed orders, hoping the Kaiser would cool off by the time they were done. When they presented the plans to him they were horrified when Wilhelm said something about "implementing them". The Germans started the preliminaries when the Kaiser came back from some sort of diplomatic thing in Europe. He had met US president Teddy Roosevelt and became buddies, hence the plans, to the relieve of the German high command, were shelved. Teddy ended up building up the US navy during his presidency, so those plans became unworkable.
@@mykolatkachuk7770 It is very admirable.
And then a few years later back to butchering each other by the millions in a pointless war.
Just hate on the Chinese
chuck and david were so good
Very good movie to watch.
And in about 14 years these same soldiers would be at war with each other
ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!
Vi esta película por primera vez en tv en febrero 1978 (ojo, que por la tarde habían puesto "murieron con las botas puestas 😃"), y todavía hoy me emociono igual con este final. Sobre todo recordando el comentario de mi padre recordando un hecho igual en la guerra civil española.
Image the relief that most have felt like. :)
This is nothing like how the relief happened. What a shameful movie. They didnt just walk in. There was street to street fighting in the sieged city, walls had to be scaled or blown up. It was a whole operation within itself that practically deserves its own movie.
🤓
Anyone who studied this period of Chinese History knows that. But this movie had enough action and drama scenes in it by this point. They needed a quick ending.
If that light battalion of the british 24th infantry regiment at Rorke's Drift were there, they would have made short work of these boxer guys.
Italy Reinforcement: Bersaglieri, who runs at every ceremony. They ran through the gate of Beijing.
one of my favourite movies
2:39 anybody knows the song that the Bengali lancers used here?
All you need is *THE LOG*
Use the arrow rain at them
What is the name of the first melody as the allies arrive?
It’s just known as help arrives if you look up 55 days at peking pekinghelp you should find it
1:40 Okay, the part around the 2nd bridge is funny :) They don't even know which direction they should be running XD
What was the music when the boxers arrived 0:01
Hmmmm.... only way they can reach us with swords is over those bridges.... let's leave them intact
I had goosebumps upon seeing the relief forces, especially at 4:49, as I'm French 💙🤍❤.
I related to captain Georg von Trapp
I enjoyed the movie and the book.
Very wholesome when the relief arrived. Reminds me of a passage of the sepoy rebellion in India, when kilted scots relieved a city and proceeded to hug kiss the besieged children with tears of happiness in their eyes.
Why is nobody there other than a soldier to greet the Japanese army?
There aren't enough Asian people in Spain when the movie goes on, also that's why Chinese aren't focused with the camera
Most the Chinese are Spaniards. There aren't alot of Asian in Europe
@@forevergone3637 そういった理由があるんですね！知らなかった
so basically, it's a battle of the bands.
❤❤❤
truly a "Well hello 2nd Armoured" before tanks were invented moment
Does anyone know the bugle song at 2:30 ?
Nvm
Smedley Butler was awarded a Medal of Honor for his actions in Peking against the Boxers.
"Listen to them. They're all playing different tunes again."
2:39 that was some good music that i heard what is the music name?
4:24 -- Italy Bersaglieri were always a crack outfit, in spite of the bad reputation the Italians got in WW2. They were wearing those plumes when they charged the American 1st Division at Gafsa in 1943. The GIs kept shelling them, of course, but they were a brave bunch.
My uncle always used to say that the Italians that he was against in WW2 seemed to be very professional and trying really hard to kill him!
@@tsr207 -- The Italian conscripts the Greeks and British humiliated in 1940 and 1941 didn't really want to be there and were terribly trained. After those failures, the Italian military in North Africa got its act together and the Italians who served alongside Rommel were fairly well trained and equipped. That professional army, as it happened, was almost entirely lost in the Tunisian surrender in May of 1943. The conscripts left behind in Sicily did not want to die for Mussolini and surrendered in droves. Sadly, some of the bravest Italians were those fighting the Germans in Italy in 1943 and 1944. Their senior leaders deserted them, the Germans captured most and enslaved them, executing about eight thousand junior officers out of spite.
Bro theres this one scene that made me think of bravery is this one officer with a revolver almost teached a whole crowd of boxers a lesson then he died after hitting them with his gun he dosent care if he has no ammo and no time to reload this guy died it was the most emotional moment 😢
I love how you could tell which national was marching with the tone of the music, even if you didn’t know the name
I always wondered what the German Officer at 4:00 said? Does anyone else here know?
"may we march with you?" "what do you mean, of course, you can march with us." then the germans go with the relief force
German here: There are 3 Voices. They go: "Das sind ja die Unseren!" "Die Uns´ren!" "Mensch, das sind ja die Unseren" That translates to: "Those are ours (our Troops/men)! They are ours! Wow, those are ours!".
@@Johannesburg_ That´s wrong and silly.
The answer of MegaBorusse is the right one.
