The embarrassment of relying upon such tactics, and barely coming out of the war with control of Gaza, may have influenced the generals who led the coup against king Faroukh. Naguib and Nasser's Pan-Arabist ideology surely had a lot to do with consolidation and coordination of resources, feeling perhaps that they had Suez but not enough to hold it and Sinai, let alone Gaza, alongside it.
As a Jewish guy and immigrant to Israel who's studied this war a lot, I have to say I love the detail of this map and the events of our Independence War. I'm glad you included the Lehi and the Etzel too. This is the best map I've seen, well done!
Day of Independence? I'm sorry, you have to be a country first in order to have an independence day. Small hats and long noses have no such claims except by apartheid and injustice.
I really liked this but I have a couple of criticisms. This format, of simply showing the areas occupied by political entities may not be the best to explain what had occurred. 1. It doesn't demonstrate contested areas of control among Arab or Jewish allies. It also doesn't demonstrate internal conflicts such as those among the Jordanian v. AHC and Egyptians in Hebron or Bethlehem in May 1948 and December-January 1949, tension between the ALA and Lebanon in the Galilee, or the destruction of a Syrian brigade during operation Hiram, or Lebanon's conflict with Syrian tribes in October 1948 (resulting in withdrawing their forces from the area completely after their defeat in May 28-29). 2. It doesn't the size or scale of different forces or the movement of armies which were required to occupy areas. Such as Syria's withdrawal of the galilee in May 1948 they only returned , the scale of the Muslim Brotherhood's control of the south and the coast, the ALA's control of the north, or the . 3. It takes liberties with certain aspects, such as Transjordan's army moving from Jordan itself to capture kfar etzion, when the army actually moved from its base in Hebron (Transjordan had a problem after the battle of getting supplied, transporting prisoners, and reinforcements which they had to wait two days until after the mandate ended to receive, and the British withdrew from Ramat David and Haifa on June 15, (though British planes did continue to constantly patrol the skies). I think a better way to have mapped it would have been to do it similar to operations room and follow the brigades, battalions, and regiments. Or simply showing areas on the map simply as blank if they were either unknown to you or had questionable control over. Otherwise I really appreciated the level of detail to demonstrate the fighting over the roads, villages, and cities.
The reason that it is in the current format as it is much easier to read (a colour-coordinated map is way easier to read than one with a bunch of squares everywhere) Eastory does a combination of divisions and frontlines, but it is much easier to produce one that is just coloured
Map lovers should check out my realistic maps for Age of Empires 1 and 2. I did the Far East, Eurasia, Europa, the Spanish lake (Pacific Ocean) and the world.
As an Israeli military historian I can say this is the most accurate map I found on youtube. The only thing missing is sources, which some of my colegues complained about
My grandfather fought in this war when he was in the Lebanese Army. The Lebanese actually showed a good fight as they won the Battle of Malkieh (the only major battle between Lebanon and Israel in 1948). But they were to small (3000 men of which 1000 were deployed). Israel could go to towns that had little to no resistance.
I thank him for his service. Every soldier who fight should fight bravely and it sounds like he did. :) I like when a smaller nation shows it can still fight well. I wish that the Jewish and the Islamic Peoples could live in peace in this land that once prospered.
@@Uqwefsdjxsa Yasser Arafat, May 10th, 1994, recorded in the Johannesburg's mosque : "This agreement, I am not considering it [1993 Oslo Agreements] more than the agreement which had been signed between our prophet Mohammed and Koraish, and you remember the Caliph Omar had refused this agreement and [considered] it a despicable truce." All is said.
True. The main force in the north was the "salvation army". All it did was attack jewish towns, then when the IDF came run away. Ironically, the lebanese pressured the local arabs to leave "until the war is over", calling them traitors if they stayed... Then were shocked when they stuck.
As an Israeli who studied this war in highschool (already graduated), this is a great map who shows more or less exactly what happened. We really did have the sheer determination and the spirit to win. That's what happens when you have nowhere to turn to and you're being threatened on all sides, don't put Israel in a corner.

Imagine how great it would have been if the Arab armies just let the Jews have a state. Their wouldn't have been a war and the whole area would be larger. Then again, seeing as Egypt and Jordan took over it might have just been a land grab.
@@user-yi4mt4hp8u well yes, they had the potential and were deciding on whos land to make a state in. Ireland, Argentina or Uganda! Hence there are no supporters of Israel from any of these 3 countries.
The Zionists never fully agreed to the partition plan, they just agreed to it because it gave legitimacy to the Jewish state, and only agreed after they became sure the Arabs would refuse, because had the Arabs agreed, they would have had to agree to the borders assigned to them by the UN, when it came to the actual war and fighting, the Jews completely ignored resolution 181 and conquered far more territory
you are a fool to thinks this was a "war" becase it was not and none of the attackers had a regulated army. it was all just some locals with old rifels on horses and nothing more
@@urbanarmory Not really, the fronts are in the sea with the houthies, in the North with Syria, Lebanon and partly Iraq, there is also a front with Iran in the border between Iraq and Iran, because during the war Israel also attacked Irainan troops and Iran attacked Israel, a front with Hamas in Gaza, another one with the Islamic Jihad in the West Bank, and a front with Iran near Yemen [Iran attacked ships of a lot of countries with the Houthies near Yemen]. Those are 8 fronts.
The Jordanians stepped in and the British let them. The British goal was to get out of there and hand everything over to the Arab armies who they supported and assumed would win.
Imagine 2/3 of your people killed systematically and methodologically, and then finally, after almost 1900 years of yearning to return to your land, you get the chance to fight for it. And again, this fight feels epic, so epic that you see how you and your 600,000 brothers and sisters might perish again, and your dream will die along with you. The Jews of The Independence War of Israel did not fight for themselves, they did not fight for a country, they fought for Jews of past, present, and future.

@@karims4168 massacre? the population of Palestine grew by almost 200k this year. what massacre? also, the reason why Hamas got a lot of occupied land in the beginning is because they launched a suprise attack on an israeli holiday, when everyone was just celebrating and chilling at their homes. also, hamas controls the entire gaza strip and has its own militants.

People love to dismiss this time period. How outnumbered and outclassed Israel was, no American support like the drones love to cry out about. And still Israel prevailed ❤
There was nowhere to run, nowhere to retreat. Arabs live from Atlantic all the way to Indian ocean. Control tens of counties, vast territories. Jews have just this tiny piece of land they call their own. If they loose it, it might be lost forever.
outnumbered? by the end of the war they literally had double the soldiers tf do u mean? israel were loising the war badly till the truce where there was supposed to be a weapons embargo, obviously israel broke the terms of the truce as they always do and just imported weapons, by the enmd of the truce they both outnumbered the arabs, and had ww2 equipment compared to arabs which were using mostly ww1 equipment no wonder they lost
great map and outline. You know what would make it even better? If you could get an idea of the OOB of the belligerants and eventually the reinforcements.
Iranian here. I support Israel for its determination to thrive and bring democracy (however flawed) into the region. I support Israel and others who promote in saving LIVES and building a future for their people, not advocate for martyrdom and jihad. I also support a free Palestine free of Hamas or any other extremist warmongers who have taken Palestinians as hostages such as the Islamic regime in Iran and their puppets like Hamas and Hezbollah. I am against terrorists like Taliban, al-qaeda, ISIS and their supporters who (might surprise you) are Russia and the US both. Free Iran from the Khamenei and IRGC terrorists and you'll have a very very different landscape in the middle east.
@Mr. poor well yea Pan Arabism is an ideology that is kept alive only by it's leaders. without them it's just a bunch of tribes. what you don't really expect a bunch of tribles uniting the so called "Arab world" do you ? its only strong authoritarian army man that hold these countries together by the gun. that's how it always been. without them in charge they collapse.
@Mr. poor Its not only about power its compeating interests people in syria want things diffrent then lets say people in Lybia. Thats why unifications like the united arab republic did not last. You blame it on foreign impirialists that the arab world stay disunited but in reality its more about you then them. As many states were devided by impirialism yet they manged to unite, china, india, vietnam,italy. Maybe your not as strong or united as you thought up to be. No point to unite into something bigger when what's there is already rotten. As you just built a very shaky house of cards.
@Mr. poor You think im a dumb american lol ? No im an israeli my self and cause of this i know pan arabism is a joke the only thing you could agree on is israel cause otherwise you don't have any purpese to unite and even that thought is collapsing as more and more arabic realize that they can't distruct their masses of their problems any more and blame everything on israel. So more and more arab countries recognized israel and moved on.
this was the Nakba... as coined by Constantine Zurayik in his book "On the meaning of the disaster" and what was the disaster? five Arab armies were unable to destroy the Jewish state... he also had disparaging words to say about the Arab refugees (who were not expelled but fled.) in his words because they were weak and impotent.
@@mssk2004 here’s a simple answer. You started a war of annihilation against Israel and Jewish people and you lost. You started more wars against Israel and lost those as well. Those are the consequences. Same consequences Nazi Germany faced. They lost a lot of land, a lot of people who lived on those lands were subsequently deported and sent back to the new German border, and they got their country split up for 50 years, with the East placed under tyrannical communist rule. American troops are still stationed there to this day. Do you see them claiming they’re the victims of genocide? No, because they were the ones who started the war with the world and committed genocide. They reject Nazism today and they’ve become better people for it. Palestinians will never reject their Nazism, which is to wipe out the Jewish state. Therefore Palestine will never be a prosperous place or a respectable country. Until Palestinians accept that Israel has the right to exist and Jews deserve a homeland and a safe haven, there will be no peace.
And the Arabs keep blaming on their lost the "West" when Britain actually saved Egypt ass and helped them. Also Britain helped the Arabs in Jaffa. Also supplied all the Arab nations and still lost... wow.
Its a very complicated subject, but remember that the Jewish militias were around for decades under constant attack by Arab raids and forces, and were also veterans of both wars (the Jewish militias who were fighting the British volunteered to join them for WW2, because of the seriousness of the situation). They were joined by partisans and Holocaust survivors, many of whom had nowhere else to go. The Jewish militias were wildly underarmed and under embargo, and only got weapons from Czechs who were willing to break the embargo. The British supported the Arab armies and supplied them weapons for years and years. In the end it was the result of a lot of extremely serious incredibly well trained fighters who had no where to go and had survived the Holocaust or Hitler's armies, vs. Arab nations that had mostly palace guard armies with very little experience, even though they were well equipped, that mostly just wanted to go home.
Props for showing the war between Israel and Palestine in the opening months before the Arab states intervened. A lot of people forget that wasn't the start of the war.
There was no war against palestine, since it didnt exist. It was a british mandate and on the map it just shows the jews ariving there, no combat or anything. The war starts one day after the declaration of Independence by Israel.
@Samer Nattifi no, they didn’t have ww1 technology, though many malitias I will admit did, but Egypt was more then armed as during the Italian invasions and the North Africa campaign the Egyptians were armed and trained well to fight, and Syria was roughly the same thing. Further more they wouldn’t ethnically cleansed them. The Israelis I will admit around the 50-80s were brutal in occupation but in its early days they understood that more violence and murder would only make things worse. Also it wasn’t against all odds, and it wasn’t 50 thousand vs 150 000, yes by the end of the war the Israeli numbers around 118 000 by the start of the war they were outnumbered everywhere except Jerusalem and had to build entire army’s from scratch. And last is that I think it’s petty for you to keep this up. Most Jewish and Arab citizens are friendly towards each other, it’s just the big men in power that refuse to make things better. The Israelis refuse to give up Muslim sacred land end the arabs refuse to stop launching attacks and refusing negotiations. Both sides have people that want it to stop, but politicians and generals that want more.
Don’t try to say this was america and uk america was embargoing the Middle East and even embargoed arms there until after the 6 day war and uk trained the Arab armies

Soldier with the Arabs is a great book from the commander of Trans-Jordan's Arab Legion. (An English WW1 vet) Outnumbered, outgunned, hopeless 'allies' like Egypt who stole ammo shipments intended for Trans Jordan. This was a cool video that brought back many memories. 👍
The embarrassment of relying upon such tactics, and barely coming out of the war with control of Gaza, may have influenced the generals who led the coup against king Faroukh. Naguib and Nasser's Pan-Arabist ideology surely had a lot to do with consolidation and coordination of resources, feeling perhaps that they had Suez but not enough to hold it and Sinai, let alone Gaza, alongside it.

"Small hats and long noses" and after that your kind is saying that they are not anti-Semites but anti-"Zionists".
Enjoyable as always, especially the map orientation, gives it a distinct look.
I really liked this but I have a couple of criticisms. This format, of simply showing the areas occupied by political entities may not be the best to explain what had occurred.
1. It doesn't demonstrate contested areas of control among Arab or Jewish allies. It also doesn't demonstrate internal conflicts such as those among the Jordanian v. AHC and Egyptians in Hebron or Bethlehem in May 1948 and December-January 1949, tension between the ALA and Lebanon in the Galilee, or the destruction of a Syrian brigade during operation Hiram, or Lebanon's conflict with Syrian tribes in October 1948 (resulting in withdrawing their forces from the area completely after their defeat in May 28-29).
2. It doesn't the size or scale of different forces or the movement of armies which were required to occupy areas. Such as Syria's withdrawal of the galilee in May 1948 they only returned , the scale of the Muslim Brotherhood's control of the south and the coast, the ALA's control of the north, or the .
3. It takes liberties with certain aspects, such as Transjordan's army moving from Jordan itself to capture kfar etzion, when the army actually moved from its base in Hebron (Transjordan had a problem after the battle of getting supplied, transporting prisoners, and reinforcements which they had to wait two days until after the mandate ended to receive, and the British withdrew from Ramat David and Haifa on June 15, (though British planes did continue to constantly patrol the skies).
I think a better way to have mapped it would have been to do it similar to operations room and follow the brigades, battalions, and regiments. Or simply showing areas on the map simply as blank if they were either unknown to you or had questionable control over.
Otherwise I really appreciated the level of detail to demonstrate the fighting over the roads, villages, and cities.
I ain't reading allat
Does it demonstrate the fact that you never got laid?
The reason that it is in the current format as it is much easier to read (a colour-coordinated map is way easier to read than one with a bunch of squares everywhere)
Eastory does a combination of divisions and frontlines, but it is much easier to produce one that is just coloured
I disagree

My grandfather fought in this war when he was in the Lebanese Army. The Lebanese actually showed a good fight as they won the Battle of Malkieh (the only major battle between Lebanon and Israel in 1948). But they were to small (3000 men of which 1000 were deployed). Israel could go to towns that had little to no resistance.
I thank him for his service. Every soldier who fight should fight bravely and it sounds like he did. :) I like when a smaller nation shows it can still fight well. I wish that the Jewish and the Islamic Peoples could live in peace in this land that once prospered.

Those are 8 fronts.
What happened on December 15th 1947? How did the Arabs capture the entire West Bank from the British?
I guess the West Bank was already populated entirely by Arabs, and local Arab militias just began administering and arming themselves there.
The Jordanians stepped in and the British let them. The British goal was to get out of there and hand everything over to the Arab armies who they supported and assumed would win.
Imagine 2/3 of your people killed systematically and methodologically, and then finally, after almost 1900 years of yearning to return to your land, you get the chance to fight for it.
And again, this fight feels epic, so epic that you see how you and your 600,000 brothers and sisters might perish again, and your dream will die along with you.

this is amazing
Palestine supporters complain about Israel occupying land, but never ask why.
Why ...
@@mssk2004 here’s a simple answer. You started a war of annihilation against Israel and Jewish people and you lost. You started more wars against Israel and lost those as well. Those are the consequences. Same consequences Nazi Germany faced. They lost a lot of land, a lot of people who lived on those lands were subsequently deported and sent back to the new German border, and they got their country split up for 50 years, with the East placed under tyrannical communist rule. American troops are still stationed there to this day. Do you see them claiming they’re the victims of genocide? No, because they were the ones who started the war with the world and committed genocide.
They reject Nazism today and they’ve become better people for it. Palestinians will never reject their Nazism, which is to wipe out the Jewish state. Therefore Palestine will never be a prosperous place or a respectable country. Until Palestinians accept that Israel has the right to exist and Jews deserve a homeland and a safe haven, there will be no peace.

Its a very complicated subject, but remember that the Jewish militias were around for decades under constant attack by Arab raids and forces, and were also veterans of both wars (the Jewish militias who were fighting the British volunteered to join them for WW2, because of the seriousness of the situation). They were joined by partisans and Holocaust survivors, many of whom had nowhere else to go. The Jewish militias were wildly underarmed and under embargo, and only got weapons from Czechs who were willing to break the embargo. The British supported the Arab armies and supplied them weapons for years and years.
In the end it was the result of a lot of extremely serious incredibly well trained fighters who had no where to go and had survived the Holocaust or Hitler's armies, vs. Arab nations that had mostly palace guard armies with very little experience, even though they were well equipped, that mostly just wanted to go home.
Amazing

Props for showing the war between Israel and Palestine in the opening months before the Arab states intervened. A lot of people forget that wasn't the start of the war.
There was no war against palestine, since it didnt exist. It was a british mandate and on the map it just shows the jews ariving there, no combat or anything. The war starts one day after the declaration of Independence by Israel.
Very brutal. Only 3 years post holocaust too.
@Samer Nattifi no, they didn’t have ww1 technology, though many malitias I will admit did, but Egypt was more then armed as during the Italian invasions and the North Africa campaign the Egyptians were armed and trained well to fight, and Syria was roughly the same thing. Further more they wouldn’t ethnically cleansed them. The Israelis I will admit around the 50-80s were brutal in occupation but in its early days they understood that more violence and murder would only make things worse. Also it wasn’t against all odds, and it wasn’t 50 thousand vs 150 000, yes by the end of the war the Israeli numbers around 118 000 by the start of the war they were outnumbered everywhere except Jerusalem and had to build entire army’s from scratch. And last is that I think it’s petty for you to keep this up. Most Jewish and Arab citizens are friendly towards each other, it’s just the big men in power that refuse to make things better. The Israelis refuse to give up Muslim sacred land end the arabs refuse to stop launching attacks and refusing negotiations. Both sides have people that want it to stop, but politicians and generals that want more.
