- The Cold War. In the decades following World War II, a new era of frosty relationship was ushered between the greatest superpowers of the time. We know much of the history of US/Russian tensions during this time. But what of the enigmatic third party?

Are you saying that in a good or a bad way?

@@hammedl79 is that sarcasm?
I'm not so sure the makers of the channel will take that as a compliment
I LOVE IT!!!
My grandfather fought in the Korean War. He faced those human waves. He said that they would just fire their weapons frantically loading ammunition as they would come over a hill. They would fire and fire and fire and they would still keep coming. This was a brutal war.
Literally this youtube channel is way better than the History TV..😊
12:13 the veteran said in Chinese" we were fighting to protect our home country" But they didn't translate to caption
MASH isn't historically accurate?!? Now you tell me...
@@thechimp1963 i think that's probably one of the reason why us lose the war lol because the people's attitude in the MASH lol
Sooo True,I Wish The History Would Be More Like This
nah, but it's figuratively better than history tv
Your comments on what happened in the Soviet Union that lived in the shadows with Stalin and his accomplices are very interesting. Thank indeed for letting us know more about that tragic story.
Something that's frustrating, throughout this documentary the Chinese interviewees consistently, accurately refer to the opposing forces in Korea as UN forces, whilst the narrator consistently refers to them as US forces.
They're Chinese propagandists
It was Un forces. The Korean war was a UN combined force.
Slim 74 not really. The U.S made like 80-90% of the manpower
On 1 September 1950 the United Nations Command had a strength of 180,000 in Korea: 92,000 were South Koreans, the balance being Americans and the 1,600-man British 27th Infantry Brigade.
I caught that too. It was supported by the United Nations, a dozen or more countries sent troops, but by in large it was a U.S.run and controlled war.
41:36 the music was so sinister but that is a very impressive story. how a single friendly act can change the diplomatic course of nations.
We just need to know more context when we talk about Korea war. This is also telling the root of China-US tension
First, in the past 500 years, China sent troops to Korea multiple times when Korea was invaded by Japan. Also, when Japan invaded China in late 19th century, they landed in Korea and invaded North China. Thus, China has big concern or even become nerves if any foreign army exists in Korea.
Second, in China Civil war(1946- 1949), US provided military and financial support to KMT, other side of CCP, now they are still in Taiwan. Mao and CCP does not trust US at all.
Third, when Korea was occupied by Japan from 1900 till 1945, a lot of Korean youth went to China and joined Chinese Army. In China Civil war(1946 - 1949), there were already 3 Korean divisions in People's Liberation Army of China. In Fall of 1949, these experienced troops were handed over to North Korea because these soldiers/officers were closed to North Korea in their minds.
Here is the historical timeline:
On August 8, 1945, Japan surrendered and Taiwan was returned to China.
in 1946, China Civil war occurred, KMT fled to Taiwan and CCP established on Oct 1, 1949. Because People's Liberation Army of China(PLA) had no navy and air force, PLA halted the movement to Taiwan. However, in UN security council, KMT(Taipei) was still representative of China.
On Feb 14, 1950 Sino-Soviet Treaty was signed. Beijing needed USSR to help build navy and air force to liberate Taiwan, want USSR to return some military bases in Northern China. This gave strong signal to US saying China stand with Moscow completely.
In March 1950, Stalin gave North Korean leader Kim Il Sung conditional permission for the attack during meetings in Moscow. The condition is "get permission from Mao". USSR helped Kim to create military attack plans. Kim did not notify Mao. What Kim cared about was Stalin's military aid not Mao's.
In April 1950, Stalin urged Kim to meet Mao. Kim did not do this
In May 1950, finally Kim consulted Mao about the attack plan and stated "Moscow has agreed and no aid required from China". Mao requested to hold the plan "till Taiwan liberated" because the China Civil War did not end and Taiwan/Tibet/Hainan(3 provinces) were not yet liberated. Obviously Kim did not listen.
On 7 June 1950, Kim Il-sung called for a Korea-wide election on 5-8 August 1950 and a consultative conference in Haeju on 15-17 June 1950. On 11 June, the North sent three diplomats to the South as a peace overture that Rhee rejected outright. On 21 June, Kim Il-Sung revised his war plan to involve a general attack across the 38th Parallel.
On 25 June, 1950, 3 days after outbreak of Korea War, US 7th fleet went to Taiwan Strait. US 7 fleet in Taiwan Strait has actually stopped PLA's plan to liberate Taiwan.
On 26 June, 1950, Chinese Government protested US troops' invasion to Taiwan Area and requested US troops to leave. Protest parades happened national wide in China.
On 7 July, UN condemned North Korea and organized UN troops.
On 15 Sept, 1950, US troops landed in Inchon
From 15 till 25 Sept, 1950, Beijing announced several warnings that "if US troops cross 38 parallel, China will intervene".
On 25 Sept, 1950, US troops crossed 38 line.
On 4 Oct 1950, with a planned invasion of Taiwan aborted due to the heavy US naval presence, Mao reported to the Politburo that he would intervene in Korea and moved the troops to North of China. Politburo approved Mao's plan.
On 8 October 1950, Mao redesignated the PLA closing to Korea as the People's Volunteer Army (PVA) and entered North Korea.
In brief,
China needed USSR to help build navy and air force to liberate Taiwan, want USSR to return some military bases in North China, thus signed Sino-Soviet Treaty. This gave US signal saying "China joined cold war standing with Moscow".
US sent 7 fleet to Taiwan Strait 3 days after Korean wall outbreak, this told Beijing "US actually already invaded China". If PLA has to fight against US troops, Korea was better place than Taiwan Strait.
Don't tell the Korean War was between UN vs China. At that time, the China in UN was represented by the government in Taipei. Beijing did not approve Kim's military plan. So, for most Chinese, it is not called Korean War but a war "to protect motherland and Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid North Korea".
Strategic Communication is very important between US and China. Even today.
Finally I find someone say something true about that age history about my country, u really have a good understanding, I like ur summary
Taiwan's semiconductor factory makes the worlds best semiconductors, and holds over 80% of the world supply . CCP control over that would be disastrous for the world, considering semiconductors power the world economy. SN: Communism didn't make China prosperous, Capitalism did. Capitalism pulled China out of poverty. The only Communist aspect of China is the authoritarian state that commits genocide and oppresses it's own people, and a government like that isn't who we want controlling the world semiconductor supply. If that ideology is the one they want to lean into now rather than the one that saved their country, it will be their destruction. Taiwan should implement their own "2nd amendment" similar to the US, so their population can arm themselves in preparation.

What you leave out is that Stalin hand picked the ruler of North Korea (Putin used the same playbook by picking a communist puppet for Czech Republic decades later). Thus planting the seed of Commune-ism into the country of Korea forever. If there is one ideological threat in the East it Russia and the US failed to wipe them out after WW2.
Thank you for the enlightenment. We never know the sequence of events until you explained it.

If you enjoyed this, "I enjoyed listening to the Chinese government’s perspective on this."
Then you'll like the declassified conversation between Mao and Nixon..
There were some good jokes and laughs on each side..
At one point, Mao asked if this would be a private conversation, and Nixon assured him it would be..
It was private, and classified, but is now public >30yrs later.
You'll notice how when Nixon insists on talking about the Soviet Union, Japan, India, and Taiwan,
Mao essentially, politely asks to change the topic..
Worth a read, start to finish.
Jokes at the start to half way..
Last 1/3 to 1/4 are the tougher, heavier conversations..

You were informed about chinese history in your high-school???
@@user-xq4st9ie7r Yes my high school years much was home teaching and my parents where smart and Republican. its sad not to be taught the facts and make up your own mind its better that way.
@@maryt9104 me too!! We extensively learned Mao’s rise to power in the communist party as well as his managing of the PRC until his death. We had meaningful discussions and It was fun putting ourselves in Mao’s perspective and having a debate with regards to his motivation 😁
More of this stuff please
So as far as the United States armed forces having advanced weapons?. That's a flat out lie!!!. The United Nations forces were still using WW2 weapons during the Korean conflict!!!.
More accurate would be to say that the UN forces had much more and superior heavy weaponry, even though much of it did date from the Second World War, and greatly superior communications. The UN also had complete control of the sea and almost total command of the air, making major Communist troop movements during the day or within the range of naval guns almost suicidal. The Navy and USAF, with their UN counterparts, couldn’t win the war alone, but they could make it just about impossible to lose.

Some of these battle scenes are from World War Two, not the Korean War.

What you never hear about this war is that 2/3rds of the POWs chose not to be sent back to N Korea and China. In negotiations Truman himself said the USA would repatriate anyone who didn't want to go back. When the 8th army had to fight it's way south from Chosen Reservoir Chinese solder's gave up after throwing rocks at our troops that's all they had. They were in bad shape the tennis shoes they had had rotted so we had boots air lifted in. They actually helped our men with our wonded men and they helped with all the refugees get abourd ship's and they willingly got abourd with us after again helping with the wonded
Some videos of Korean war are wrong. They are from self-defense war against Vietnam in 1979. And some are from China culture revolutionary time .
ElPocho DelMundo The Chinese invaded then legged it after getting a good kicking.
@ZELIANG LI That doesn't have anything to do with China. China was obviously more powerful than Vietnam and therefore could be way more aggressive. There would be no reason for Vietnam to provoke a superpower. Even the sino-indian war was an act of aggression over Tibet and a part of india. The Chinese wanted to make it seem like self-defence to the international community.
@@sappy_boi Cambodia and Laos are allies of China in the same camp, and Vietnam's allies in aggression against China have nothing to do with China?Do you think that Vietnam’s invasion by the United States or China has anything to do with the Soviet Union?
China is a CONTRIVED world power, but I will tell you HOW that was all initiated. As it turned out, in the late 1940’s when future Secretary of State, General George Marshall, acting upon the direction of the corporate globalist Deep State completely disarmed nationalist leader Chiang Kai Chek and his forces, knowing full well that Joseph Stalin, using all the military hardware and logistics support given to him by the U.S. during WWII, that he no longer needed, would ship all that war material/support on over to Mao in Northern China, where Mao quickly overran the forces of Chiang Kai Chek, establishing a Communist dictatorship in China.
@@frankbecerril9835 China provided Vietnam with a large number of food, weapons and personnel in the war between Vietnam and the United States. At that time, the Chinese people could not eat enough. After that, however, Vietnam completely defected to the Soviet Union, which was preparing to attack China. Vietnam also invaded Cambodia, which is friendly with China. At the same time, Vietnam also harassed China's borders and robbed food and resources. If this continues, Vietnam will attack China with the Soviet Union.That is why it is called self-defense
I’m a quarter of the way in and there’s nothing about Chinese Cold War strategy, and certainly no secrets... it’s just a boring re run of the Korean War that I learned in school
What were you taught in school about Americas forgotten war Lingua? Time line grants you the opportunity to research what you doubt. Brainwashing in The US schools started around 1965. US History is distorted like what the Civil war in the USA was really fought about! 750,000 white men lost their lives in that war between the States!
@@chuckkady7282
Are Chinese students taught about WWII? You know like how Japan and China had 25 battles (a battle being defined as having a regiment or more on each side) and how Japan won all 25 of those battles? Officially how many Chinese citizens were killed by Mao according to the CCP school books?
Thats propaganda with easy ad revenue for ya.
I just realize something interesting today, it's how China state run media never have ads on majority of their videos.
Fox News, MSN and pretty much every anti China propaganda outlets are infected with ads.

It's called Chinese Cold War bc in none of these conflicts were the fight actually with the Chinese. They fought by proxy. Get it now bud?
When I was serving at South Korea in 1951 to 1953 fighting North Korea Chinese volunteers were fighting us many of US soldiers and South Korean troops were killed around 50,000 UN troops were killed.

The Soviet Union was not in the United Nations at the time of the vote. In fact, the essence of the Korean War is the product of hegemony of the Soviet Union and the United States, and China is only protecting its own geopolitical security.

great documentary, my great grandfather was a political commissar for the Chinese volunteers while his wife was a field hospital officer. My father and I used to debate the nature and historical influence of this war. He believed it was wrong to go into Korean. I argued that it was needed at the time for China to protect its own from boarding with a nation with US bases.
WOW, really? Your parents must have been some confused then. How'd they like the whole Great Leap Forward affair and how about the cultural revolution, now there was a good time aye? And what did they think when Vietnam was invaded by the ChiCom for the Vietnamese invasion of Cambodia who were trying to stop the genocide of Vietnamese living in Cambodia for the sound reason Pol Pot gave. He thought all Vietnamese needed to be killed because he, Pol Pot, hated Vietnamese and when Mao met Pol Pot he didn't tell him he shouldn't do that NO he said "For every step China takes the Khmer Rouge takes 4" and Gang of four thought they should import many of Pol Pot's methods into China, like doing away with money and emptying all the cities into the countryside Sounds like a warmed over version of his Great Leap Forward, except that Mao's plan only killed 35,000,000 Chinese. Do to a HUGE population, as China had, then compare it to Pol Pot's Cambodia and it's rather small population and that 35,000,000 would have been a drop in the bucket and become known in China as The Good Old Days
Meanwhile many north koreans flee their repressive country only to be sent back by the Chinese government, insuring a lifetime of slave labor and death sentence for their relatives and descendants.
I'm American and I agree with your statement about China needing to go into the Korean war because Korea bordered their country. The USA was in South Korea, etc.. the heartbreaking part of the story is that the Soviet Union used the Chinese. Yes they did give them weapons, but the Soviet Union did not give the Chinese military the air cover over Korea as they promised. Once again I believe that China was used by the Soviet Union.
@@montrelouisebohon-harris7023 I actually disagree with this. In order to support China's effort, the soviets built a lot of industrial bases in Northern China, giving them the industrial capability that they never had prior to the war. In China's vietnam campaign, china went into Vietnam to get rid of the industrial sectors that they helped Vietnamese set up during their war with the americans. It shows you that China realized how important industrialization is to a agricultural country.
it think it's weird China would go into Korea to fight against the Americans but literally shared multiple borders with other nations that also Hated China and its ideologies and did nothing
Uh, the USA did NOT "retreat" from Pusan. They were attacking to break out of the Pusan perimeter WHILE attacking Incheon.

Is there a time based sequence of documentaries? For example, consider a period of 1870 to 1930, sequence all milestones or major events in history describing the events leading up to a milestone. How British used chemical warfare and initial versions of concentration camps in the Boer War. This experience informed the Germans to use Chlorine gas in WWI
I am sure the British did not use chemical agents in the Boer war. They used unintentional germ warfare, that broke out in the cramped conditions of the concentration camps..

The POW thing where they tattooed the prisoners is outrageous and I cannot believe that isn't more relatively known. I've never heard that mention in my life and it's not surprising but still really disturbing and awful to treat people that way
it's a popular method of identification and labeling, due to the difficulty of one swapping numbers or altering them, any modification can easily be seen so its used commonly, most popular use of the system is by the nazi's to concentration camp prisoners during WW2
@@Dominicn123 However, as someone who understands Chinese, I found that the tattoos on POWs were not designed for identification. Instead, those tattoos are anti-communist slogans, such as the word "反共” directly meaning anti-communist. It is clear that those tattoos were not used as identification but instead as humiliations.
Ever hear of the Holocaust?

So during the Korea War it seemed the North Koreans had no soldiers that they had to rely heavily on China and Chinese soldiers to push the Americans back. That’s just my impression from this documentary, correct me if I’m wrong.
The reported military casualties of the war included about 1.2 million deaths from the South Korean army, 1 million deaths from the North Korea army, 36,500 deaths for U.S. troops and 600,000 deaths for Chinese soldiers. The total number of Korean people, men, woman, and children dead by war’s end approached three million, ten percent of the overall population. These statistics represent the American strategy of never ending bombing raids countered by the Chinese strategy of never ending human waves. Korea and the Koreans happened to be the unlucky strip of land between American ships/Pacific rim bases, and China. Korea was never autonomous after WW2 and this chapter of their ongoing slaughter was engineered by the United States and China.
Well I know North Korea and China were joined closely together. Kim Jong Il Song fought with Mao in Chinese Civil wars for example, so it is vague on which troops were North Korean and which were Chinese exactly. Or at least that is how I understand it.
During the Korean Civil War, North Korea attacked South Korea, and the number of casualties was low. Push the South Korean army to only 10% of the territory. However, when the United States entered the war, the number of casualties in the North Korean army soared. In the end, the US army attacked the border between China and North Korea.
Then the Chinese army entered the war, and the battle line stayed near the 38th line.
China, North Korea and the Soviet Union suffered 650,000 casualties. There were more than 360,000 casualties in China, and 197,653 people were killed in battle.
The Korean Army, the US "United Nations Army" suffered more than 570,000 casualties. The CRS of the United States submitted a casualty statistics report, with a total of 36574 deaths.
According to the statistics of several aspects, the lowest personnel loss statistics confirmed by the "United Nations Army" during the entire Korean War is: the personnel loss of the "United Nations Army" was more than 570,000. In this figure, it is estimated that the losses caused by the Chinese army accounted for more than two-thirds, that is, more than 380,000 people.
Hearing this made me want to imagine the North Korean "Commissars" (I hope I spelled it right) firing on their own soldiers for taking _one step back._

Excellent documentary
The enemy of my enemy ARE friends👌
Wow, pitiful summary of China and Mao during WWII and the civil war.
Mao was not a fraction of the military genius he is depicted as. Please read the book on Mao by Jung Chang, an academic and scholar born in communist China and a former Red Guard...
Okay
@mike boultinghouse yes
Mao did what no one else could. India nowdays needs a Mao to force change but they will never. produce someone like Mao. He is part of history, for the good and bads hes done.
@mike boultinghouse China needed to go through steps in order. First was to fight for the land we have today, second to enrich the country, then to industrialize and finally now to fix our reputation. Every leader did their part from Mao and since along with their faults.
@mike boultinghouse -BAM! Truth- every word you said.
I really think the US alliance with China is one of the Nixon Administration's biggest foreign policy blows. However, I think that a serious mistake was made when the Carter Administration considered completely breaking off the relationship with Taiwan to normalize relations with Beijing - which was only corrected in the Reagan Government after the Taiwan Relations Act. Nevertheless, ALL administrations since Richard Nixon have made the grave mistake of omitting the human rights situation in Communist China to preserve the alliance against the former U.R.S.S., which does not even exist anymore!
The struggle between the East vs. West is not primarily ideological but rather strategic. Selling ideology is part of the strategy but they are willing to stray from their own ideologies. In this regard, it doesn't matter if the USSR exists anymore. Even when the USSR existed, its existence was for the strategic benefit of Russia which has a habit of annexations. Imagine if Russia & China, already BRIC countries, teamed up to conquer or exercise greater influence over resources adjacent to Asia, e.g., energy in the Middle East. They could then make their currency the global reserve currency for energy which other countries would use internationally for everything else. In addition to that, imagine if China exported more of its labor to other countries instead of the USA in exchange for that non-US currency which would free up foreign human capital and further economically & diplomatically isolate the USA.
no matter what, you have to respect the humanity of your enemy.
even if you hate, what they stand for and their beliefs etc.
you have to have dignity for their humanity and their right
their right to fight you in turn you must respect your own right
I dont respect communism.
Sorry, not sorry.

Does anyone have a transcript for this video please
The differences between Popular Republic of China and U.S.S.R. were as cosmetic as those between Trotsky and Stalin - deep down, they were all representatives of the same political regime.
It baffles me that some people in the comment section still defends this utterly incompetent, oppressive and destructive ideology.
It was a combination of events that happened at that time to change the history of the world and will continue, It is the laws of the universe everything has a time of birth and a time to die.
100x better then history tv
Calling Mao "the founder of Chinese Communism itself," at 0:38, is incorrect.
Mao was one of the leaders of the southern, largely rural, grouping of the Chinese Communist Party. This grouping of the Party became important after the Kuomintang's murder of many of the Party's leaders, including most of the urban and northern leadership, in 1928. In the course of the so-called Long March, the retreat of the survivors of this group to Yunnan, Mao emerged as one of the top leaders -- but even then required the permission of other Yunnan leaders to marry Qiang Qing. During WWII the Japanese crippled the Kuomintang and the few remaining urban Communists.
Like George Washington, Mao Zedong was the tallest of the revolution's leaders.
The tale of the "tactical retreat" from Pusan leading to the invasion at Inchon, at 6:11, is utter fiction. After UN forces, British, American, Turkish and Korean, were pushed south to the Pusan perimeter in 1950 they were subsequently victorious, and the North Koreans retreated.
The subsequent invasion at Inchon, a brilliant success for the US Marines and Navy, was conducted by entirely different troops, and General Douglas "dug-out Doug" MacArthur claimed it as his victory.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Pusan_Perimeter
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Inchon
www.history.com/topics/korea/inchon
MacArthur's previous record consisted mainly of his defeat in the Philippines: he had relied for his security at Bataan upon the big gun emplacements built by his father a generation earlier; the Japanese Navy shelled the hills above the guns, silencing them with rock slides. MacArthur fled by motor-boat.
After the Marines' victory at Inchon, MacArthur bloviated about invading North Korea and was fired by President Truman.

Great
Dude at 12:00 was literally bragging about being slaughtered 🤦
I saw this documentary on the matrix several months ago.
Retreat from the pusan perimeter???.Who researched this and came up with that.The US and SK never left pusan it held the out the entire war because it had to.If they wouldve just left pusan and hopped over to incheon like this "documentary" says it wouldve been a disaster.
They retreat some guys for the landings.
@@filipeamaral216 No units were pulled out of Pusan for the Inchon Landings. The US/UN order of battle is well documented.
I noticed the same thing, very sloppy. There are a lot of problems with this documentary.
Salute SALUTE to all my Chinese Heroes lost in the Korea war.
China 🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳.
can not stand communism I think it's creation is the worst thing that the human race has ever invented in the entire history of the human species it may bring about the end of all humans on the planet ...they will set doomsday in motion apparently according to the Bible there was a thing that said something about the people from the east will spark a new world war that will kill off all living humans ... it makes sense because the first country to implement a communist form of government was Russia which is in the east.... the Soviet Union collapsed China is still communist and so is North Korea.......
Conclusion:... communism will literally kill us all....

thank u for documentary film... stories verbally told nd circulated in the ethnics/peasants around asean lands is as in the film...
There were footages from different times mixed in this video about the Korean War. The Korean War was the most important war for modern China. Because of Chinese soldiers’ bravery, China saved USSR’s face and it had to fulfill its promise to return key ports and territories back to China. Not only that, it did a massive technological transfer to China, which helped to strengthen China’s industrialization.
Apart from all comments...this video is brilliant💐💐💐🌹

Taiwan's semiconductor factory makes the worlds best semiconductors, and holds over 80% of the world supply . CCP control over that would be disastrous for the world, considering semiconductors power the world economy. SN: Communism didn't make China prosperous, Capitalism did. Capitalism pulled China out of poverty. The only Communist aspect of China is the authoritarian state that commits genocide and oppresses it's own people, and a government like that isn't who we want controlling the world semiconductor supply. If that ideology is the one they want to lean into now rather than the one that saved their country, it will be their destruction. Taiwan should implement their own "2nd amendment" similar to the US, so their population can arm themselves in preparation.

"I'm angry!"
That guy wang chin, says he’s 80 years old at the time of the documentary, the battle for triangle hill was 1951. Was he 11 years old? Does anyone know when this doc was made?
Good eye mmmmm
Well, this aged well!
I know right we were sold out and someone needs be held accountable
there are a lot of inaccuracies in this documentary
Stop complaining show us the evidence.
@@allanang8709 he's right. They mention nothing about Mao's killing 60 million people or his crimes against humanity. They make it sound like the Korean War was something that surprised in China when in reality Mao and Stalin were helping plan the invasion of South Korea the whole time. They also make it sound like the sino-soviet split took place in the late 1960s of 1971 in fact it was pretty much completed by 1962, long before the rain Vietnam War took place.
I`d say some of the translations from chinese to english are wrong, makes the whole meaning total different. For example 19:25, it should be "The Iron Triangle became the Heart-Broken Hill of America".
Mao was more ruthless then Stalin
US dropping of the atomic bombs were even worse.
On the percentage of Chinese military deaths due to heavy weapons fire. I had a co-worker that served in the US Army Artillery during the Korean conflict. He told me that one afternoon he sat on top of a hill and watched as the Chinese kept marching soldiers directly into their artillery barrages hour after hour. He said it was the biggest waste of human life that he had ever personally witnessed. The Chinese Communist National Anthem has a verse that gloriously exclaims: 'March forward into the canon fire, march forward, march forward'. They literally MEAN IT !
1) What was China's reaction to communism?
2) How did China's adoption of communism affect their interaction with other countries?
Need the answers for a World History work, pleaaase
You forgot about PHILIPPINES. We also fought the war..... 🇵🇭 Remember the Battle of Yuldong
We can blame all of these events way back from 1917, the Russian Revolution!
You could go even further, back to 1789 and the French Revolution.
Not the Tsar or first world war? Right ho, old boy.
Some of the shots meant to portray time around the founding of the PRC are actually from the Cultural Revolution. Not very accurate
Lots of ww2footage in here too.
We American need better informed our adversaries and learning their history better decisions in dealing with them.
@7:00 very valid critical crucial view point
What a poor history documents video it is. There are too many mistakes found almost every where in pictures, video clips and commentaries.

Round 2 with the Chinese.
10 minutes and 38 seconds, the map is wrong, the Yalu River is the boundary river, and China and North Korea are half of each other, not most of them are in North Korea
Seven Hundred Thousand Chinese soldiers were fighting the United States in South Korea. Imagine seeing when the Chinese Soldiers were deploying their human wave tactics, that'd be terrifying 😳

I feel terrible about this war, it should not lost so many lives in this war
"We had no qualms of going to battle. We had nothing to miss or distract us. The more fierce the battle the more encouraged we are."
What does this mean? What did they have to win? Wouldn't a quiet peasant life be better than being killed violently in a river? Was it nationalism? I don't understand, but what he said feels important.
Well, maybe he loves his country and is eager to bear arms to defend his country. Why is it difficult to understand?
@@CLu-uw7uv exactly. These were Chinese patriots wiling to sacrifice themselves for the good of their country. It's pretty simple really.
I think the main reason is that China was quite poor and weak at that time, while America -one ideological enemy at that time- got involved in the Korean civil war with ideological reasons, so it can be rational to concern if North Korea falls, America will gain dominant strength in far east Asia and she can directly threaten the North East region of Chian which was the only industrial base when China was found. China did not want to have an unbalanced far east Asia situation so she decided to help North Korean, and we have to accept that North Korea and South Korea do work as a buffer. By the way, please do not forget that America is the nation that forcefully separate the Korea Penisula by the 38 degrees line... I mean really, I can understand that Americans do not want the Soviet Union to take a dominant position in the region, but she should not interfere by this way - the best way I believe is to base the idea of self-determination: launch an election in Korea and let people decide which leader and ideology they want since if America was done so then the Soviet Union had no reason to stop this since the whole Soviet Union itself was founded based on this idea of self-determination.
@@xiuyuyuan8384 Yes, China was just coming out of the "century of humiliation" as a result of the colonialists, so they were poor at the time. Towards the end of the Korean war, America did not trust the Chinese or North Koreans to implement a free election. They agreed on the 38th parallel so both sides don't try to take over the whole peninsula. im not sure what you mean by 'forced' as both sides were fighting an all out war for the peninsula.
C'mon man just do what you're told hgvhyyvhgvghv you know that thing ; Joe Biden..... Probably
I learned a lot from this documentary in the space of 43 minutes. All things clear but what I want to know is when Mao met Nixon I see that they were conversing directly, so Mao could actually speak English or was that through an interpreter? Surely Nixon wouldn’t be speaking Chinese lol 😂
There was a lady there interpreting for them
You're right! Interpreters are always out of the cameras to make it look like they were speaking directly (for the general public). In fact, there's almost always an interpreter. For instance, Kissinger understood that Zhou Enlai did speak good English because he often reacted to the comments immediately and not only after the interpreter translated. Nevertheless, leaders often speak in the official language of their countries even when they could understand each other.
42:00
Mao believed America had a stranglehold on information, and interactions of its people.
They probably assumed America was extending an olive branch!
43:54 Coming to an end? It simply took a break.
I used to marvel at the depths of these historical wars thinking they're all in the past.
Now, with the waging war in Ukraine...I can't help but fear about what faces the human kind. :(
Why Ukraine? the war in Ukraine is exceptionally mild compared to the one that has been raging in Syria for years and years. And much milder than the one in Iraq in 2003 and the one in Afghanistan in 2001. Ukraine is a minor little political skirmish over the tiny little Donbas and Luhansk regions and has resulted in extremely low casualties compared to most others.
Dr. Li Xiao Bing (from the University of Central Oklahoma) still has his Chinese thinking cap on. Chairman Mao was never a great military strategist. He relied on Lin Biao, Zhu De, Chen Yi, and Peng De Huai mostly in military matters. Even within the early "party" Mao was a thug towards his competition, especially Wang Ming. In fact the "Long March" was so long because Mao was manipulating the emotions of the party and the circumstances, waiting for things to fall to his favor before arriving triumphantly.
You're completely correct to a tee. All these nationals have their cap on though. Watching deep propaganda speech from a modern dictatorship is really bazonkerrs. I feel like it's seeing Goebbels and Goering etc speak in their times.
BTW. Did you catch the last line?
@杰森Jason : Correct. Re Dr Li, I also noticed that on 14:59 he refers to China as "we", which is quite an interesting slip of the tongue, considering that he is introduced as being from a US university.
