In the 1960s, the political groups in Yemen rose up to try and kick out their British colonizers. This period became known as the Aden Emergency by the British and it characterized by a series of insurgencies, counterinsurgencies, and political turmoil that left thousands dead and changed Yemen’s future forever.

I don't think Britain post WWII had any hope of retaining Aden. Its dismiss was inevitable. With the loss of India and Suez Crisis the writing was on the wall, literally (known Graffiti) and metaphorically. The elite in Britain tried desperately to maintain the colonies but it was just not feasible. It's actually kind of impressive they kept Aden until the 1960's.

Amazing lovely!
Aden would have to be the most miserable place I've ever had the misfortune of working in. Complete arse. And that in 2012 was just before Yemen turned into complete shit.
Contradictory, Sana'a was actually rather pleasant.
Don't you make star wars videos too? Lol
A no go zone for who?
Ah us British and the French loved drawing lines on maps and creating countries that, at the time suited our interests and then pretending any trouble was nothing to do with us when things fell apart.
I think the british could have consolidated all of their
Colonies and territories, Decades earlier and integrated them more into the British nation, Like the French Did with French guinia, (legally a patt of homeland France with all the same rights a d privilages) than i think wed still have a British Empire today
I thought your voice sounded familiar, so I went to your channels and realized "Ahh it's Geetsly".
This is a feeble video, biased, shallow, and full of irrelevances.
Controversial, but most of these former colonies were better off in the Empire
Your Bolivar photo is of Simon Bolivar Buckner Jr., an American WW2 general…not the 19th Century South American revolutionary. Buckner’s father was Simon Bolivar Buckner Sr., a Confederate general from Kentucky (both namesakes of the original Bolivar). Try not using Google images!

After the Suez Crisis the British and the French became American puppet states. At the end of WW2 the Dutch got forced by America to abandon Indonesia and after Suez the British and French lost as well. Later Belgium was forced to leave Congo. Funny thing, what Germany failed to do in WW2 the Americans accomplished by not being enemies of those countries but as allies. No, Europe jumps when America demands and Europe joins America in almost all their wars.
uncle Ho sure fcked this one up.
The Ottoman's prior to WW1 would have rounded up and executed all the young men of fighting age. After WW2 countries began to worry about World Opinion. Especially after the invention of the radio countries have been forced to show restraint putting down uprisings.
The move to seize the Suez canal by Nasser was not 'perfectly legal', but that doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things
Anywhere with Islamic laws are no go zones. Muslims are the enemy, every country they control ends up destroyed.
Lol, the narrator's South African roots are on full display here: you can tell dude DESPISES the British 😂😂😂. Keep up the good fight and these excellent informational videos comjng bro.
British did nothing wrong the Suez Canal was built by British and French not Egypt ions so it is British and French belongs to us not Egypt
