Germany screwed up so much they had American political parties agreeing with each other
Great content and production values. Hugely informative. I never knew about the big explosion in NY
Let's face it, the war was pretty much done by the time USA started fighting. 4 years of conflict had ground down the central powers to the point of collapse by 1918.
I have to wonder how far back the fake news media in the US goes. I don't trust them today… were they trustworthy then? We'll never know because there was no alternative to their words.
Please tell us of the American perspective at the beginning of the war.
It’s a shame we went back into isolation rather than taking a more proactive step to moderate. And in doing that, maybe preventing WW2 by keeping Germany on a short leash, a war that was an absolute bloodbath that we sat idly by on until it got to us.
Define consolidate
Its always amazed me that we let the British use our citizens as human shields on the Lusitania, and shipped 3 million rounds of rifle ammunition in its hold, and had the audacity to bitch when a U boat sank it. Then, we shipped war material under our flag to Britain and escorted supply convoys- and declared war when they were torpedoed as well. We were lied to about everything, just to give the bankers and politicians control of our country, AND eliminate Germany as an economic/ military threat to Britain- who was financed by those same banks and bankers. Look into it. We were duped into fighting Germany for nothing, TWICE!
I thought for a second that the sponsor was going to be Baphomet, but i digress.
Surprised the lost battalion isn't mentioned here.
Imagine an Army of Rough Necks and Cowboys 😬
Graduated marine boot camp last Friday, they taught us “retreat hell we just got here “ a ton
5:00 otherwise known as taking American Taxpayer money, and giving it to another country, so that country can enrich US arms dealers.
This model continues to this day, making sure to funnel an ungodly amount of American wealth into the hands of a handful of weapons manufacturers.
To shorter this model down to something easily understandable it is currently called.
The Military Industrial Complex.
the video is 19:41 long
Wilson, president of of united states really said "cmon guys can't we all just get along" and thought it would work💀
I was in the 6th marines in falujah and ramadi ww1 is a point of pride for my unit
I love the fact that these show in widescreen, so the aspect ratio or something.. not many channels do this and its so amazing!
Who else is getting sabaton vibes
I'd ask for a Canadian perspective but;
1) it'd be too bloody
2) there was no such thing as canada at the time
Good video, precise and impartial. I enjoyed the watch and found it both informative and of a quality I'd come to expect from your works. Very well done, Griff!
Me: Studied this war in the American perspective since middle school
Also Me: Let's see the American perspective on this one
wow i hope Wilsons of ethnicity=border wont massively backfire in 30 years after the war
One of the most badass remarks EVER when it comes to close combat
I wonder what Black Tom was like, compared to Beirut.
