Switzerland: I’m gonna pretend I didn’t see that
Hello to Switzerland from Turkey
Classic Switzerland.
True
Lichtenstein: yeah im not even gonna bother being recognized
Swizerland is the safest place for world war III whit 0 deaths 😄
Just imagine 1924 Germany. You can cut a newspaper into many pieces and each of these would be worth more than the banknotes.

to sum up WW II in about 20 mins is impressive, very well done, thoroughly hits the high points and it's very easy to follow.
These Industanis know how to present history better than anyone else .
Is it, I thought he took his time and was expansive, my grandfather who served usually got though the entire thing in about 9 minutes , with the story seemingly needing to take 15 (him leaving things out) lol . He touches on about 90 percent of the things here. I’d say he’s about halfway between this vid and a cotton hill lecture 😂
I'm a bit sad they didn't mention Malta since it was an important place in Europe in fact it was the most heavy bombed country in the worldb
Yeah but they pretty much neglected both the Pacific and North African theatres of the war.
These videos are 100% the best way to learn a bit of history. I’m shocked at how much I’m actually retaining
Iran: "hey I kind of like the Germans"
Russia and the UK: slaps Iran to oblivion
Iran? You mean "Persia"?
@@discharm210 No.
6dig-S 61 and you wanna know why it’s not anymore?
@@Ash-zm1vx So that the country was unified behind a nationality that everyone could "get behind" rather than a Persian dominated state populated by dozens of different ethnic groups?
6dig-S 61 and also because the (nazi-sympathizing) leaders wanted a name that looked more like “aryan”?
Love how you started ww2 at the end of ww1. It really helps to add a lot of context. Great work on this for real! Both in content and in design
Agreed, a lot of history videos ignore the end of the First World War giving no context, a lot however explain why Germany wants revenge
Also love how he basically ended WW2 with the new pact Germany and France made. Interesting
Doesnt discuss the putsch unfortunately
Unfortunately it's still a "Politically Correct" version of events.
A certain international Sect of people always seem to get a pass. I would try to explain further, but most likely my comment would get censored. Even if it's a quote from a Man like Churchill. It doesn't matter. Some people are above reproach.
Yep. He should have elaborated more on Japan's invasion of Manchuria, the real start point of WW2.
It is hard to fully thank someone for creating such a concise and informative video such as this one. Just know that it is excellent and very well appreciated.
I love maps, and history. I would watch a 3 hour version of this.
Switzerland is that quiet kid in the back of the classroom that reads books while other students fight when teacher is gone.
How about little Liechenstein?
@@gg-pv1do and Liechtenstein is the study buddy
Kinda....I mean Switzerland was technically neutral but Germany forced many trade deals and policies that Switzerland had to accept, so it was becoming de facto puppet state until the allies had the upper hand. Plus Switzerland shot down and killed like 30 U.S. airmen during the war.
@@AlphaSections cos the Americans bombed Switzerland by accident so they shot down the planes
*vibes in I was the Switzerland"
Last time I was this early, Germany still had a Kaiser.
Hi
Last time I was this early, The Holy Roman Empire still exists
Last time i was this early, we still conquered most of the world
Last time I was this early jesus wasnt born
Last Time I was this early, the Sun wasn't here
Definitely one of the best and most thorough videos that kept it under half and hour. Absolutely amazing context and in depth loved this video
This is the best video explained in detail and using world maps
This is what I was looking for
I could watch this video 100 times and it would never get old, i would learn countless viewpoints every time. We all understand how much time and research came into making this video. Thank you so much for the hard work.
There's a channel called ww2 in real time, I think you'll like it then.
This is like the 5th time I've watched
That quiet kid knows karate.
Crazy how he spent 3 seconds on Dunkirk and there's a whole movie about the evacuation.
You could watch it 1 million times, and the map of Ireland would still be incorrect.
The sequel everyone wanted!
*wait*
Lol
This sequel's hits different tho XD
I thought ww2 is already a sequel of ww1 ?
Sequels are always nice to have!
*wait*
I WANT THIRD PART
*wait*
This is the best summary of WW history I’ve seen. A world map view with timeline of years showing. Great job. An excellent visual for a classroom of students.
This was really good! Well done and thanks for making it.
Due to a technical and human error, our map did not include Brazil as part of the countries that participated in the WWII campaign. The original French version of our WWII video does not contain this error. th-cam.com/video/OJ0gZNmF63c/w-d-xo.html
ok
I have the privilege to be Geo’s 2nd comment
Finally! Thanks!
cool
Me can t speak that
The scale of this war us just mind boggling. And the speed with witch the countries rearmed themselfs and responded to threats (in matter of months) is just incredible.
Do remind yourself that this war was not over a few months, but 6 years. Think about all that can happen in year. Think about all the time. Not all that time, from September 1939 to September 1945, is filled with devastating and constant war. This war had fast battles, but was a long war.
@@randomalt9617 i cant imagine that civilain mindset that suffer across the world just mind their own thing and being force to participate...
@@randomalt9617 6 years is a relatively short war.
@@ursosexmachina Yeah, I _guess_ , but this was a *fucking World War.* Every continent had some battle just off of their shorelines or on their land, and across Africa, Europe, Asia and Australia and Oceania, there was immense conflict. Day in day out, fighting across the *whole world*
Wow, all those history lessons at school, stories from my grandparents, and yet I did not know witches were involved in the war! SpOoKeY
By far the most satisfying and informative documentary about ww2 out there.
Well done. Thanks for creating and posting.
In every ww2 video ending,
" then the US and Soviet union would involve in a cold war."
@Kerbal Miles what did it say before
Well, that was what happened. So no reason not to do that.
fun fact: United States is US and Soviet Union is SU, so Soviet Union is a diff version of US
@Kerbal Miles yeah, USSR is the most used term even more than referring it as Soviet union.
@Kerbal Miles no they use the term ccp more often
I love how this blends so well with your WW1 video. It really gives wayyyy more context than most videos and resources I've found.

Nice job, Geo History! I appreciated you going over minor but important nonetheless details.

The Netflix series “WWII In Color: Road To Victory” fifth episode “The Invasion of Italy” goes into a lot of detail about that now overlooked part of WWII. It even questions why America & the British Commonwealth bled so many resources fighting to take Italy. Rome fell the day before D-Day in June 1944 but German efforts to hold central & northern Italy for months afterwards turned the European theatre into a three front war for Germany that became nearly impossible to win.
The Italian campaign would've been a desisive victory if US general mark Clark had obeyed an order to cut of a German retreat, instead he went for glory and took Rome
@@joshrasmussen4002 Italy was very difficult to traverse, which is why it took so long to barely reach Rome
Germany never put many troops there also because it is very easily defensible, whilst the allies threw many men in the meat grinder
20:10 - Brazil declared war on Germany in 1942 and even participated in the Italian campaign.

And I'm glad. As a fan of vexillology, it really irks me when people use the wrong flags when representing historical nations. I understand why TH-camrs censor it, for fear of demonetization, but it still annoys me.
Yeah, i mean, putting a nazi flag in a video about ww2 doesnt mean the person who uploaded it is a nazi
@Daniel im not sure about what you tried to say
@Daniel sure, whatever you say kid...
If hitler using swastika why you are blaming indian even 3 m india fight against germany and japan with allied powers
We just used this as an overview for our homeschool WWII study. It was excellent! Thank you so much for the work you put into this! The kids followed along on backline maps, color coding as they went. Took like an hour cause we kept pausing it. :) Everyone was engaged and interested.
Great video, explain a lot of things in History at short time !
Thanks for mentioning Canada's contributions to the war effort. We always get over looked and under appreciated. My Dad fought in this war and it means a lot to us Canadians for them to be recognized. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

These are great. Thank u for the education and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

that's not russia that Slovakia but i understand the confusion
@@blank2588 ok lol
Slovak State was a facsist dictatorship and still today, in modern Slovakia, we have a political party in parliament which is fascist and it is completely legal, since they “aren’t” a threat to democracy.
I mean in 2020 over 9% of population (5,5 Million) elected this Neo-nazi party.
It is called Kotleba - People’s Party Our Slovakia.
@@michaelpocci1876 interesting
So Slovakia was always a puppet state of Germany after all...
I literally check this channel once every two weeks like I’m in love with it. Every time for the past two years that you’ve made a new video I nerd out like a little kid.
This video on the Geo History channel should be a recommendation for International Relations students or anyone interested in the history of World War II. I say this because after watching for 23 minutes 54 seconds, I found various advantages contained in one video. I saw that the complex World War II can be presented in a simple, coherent and detailed manner through the Geo History channel. Not only that, the use of a world map as a process of describing the events of World War II actually makes it easier for viewers to understand, from the beginning of the causes of World War II to the consequences of this war.
America to every other member while selling weapons: sorry Link, I can’t give credit, come back when you’re a little more, *mmm,* richer
Cash and Carry was only at the beginning of the war. Credit was extended later. Then the US started delivering.
Germany: annexes sudetenland where are only defenses of czechoslovakia and then occupies all of bohemia and moravia. France and UK: I see this as absolute win
Maybe the czech's shouldn't have put systemic racism in place against the 7 million germans living there, and against the slovaks.
Cyrus lmao
And then they blame the USSR for having a non aggression pact with germany
@@sdsd2e2321 ah yes 7 milion germans in czechoslovakia and also if you look at poland they did same well everybody did same thing. And btw tell me how much rasist were czechs against slovaks thank you. Last thing i must say is that you germans forget that you were invited in lands of crown of bohemia not bohemians moravians silesians and sorbs
@@makrela1231 Over 90% of the slovak population voted for the fascist, independence party. That's all the proof required
The voiceover is too impressive, accompanied by the music behind !! If you don't have any video ideas, can you make a video about the Chinese Civil War? ^^ It"s a rather complex and little known war, whereas I think it is very necessary to talk about it !
Sehr informativ und gut gemacht !
13:00 idk why thats so funny to me hearing deadpan "they decided to invade the country" and that was it for them LOL
My mum laughed at that too lol
I love it! Straightforward, detailed, well paced, and with no fluff.
Thank you very much! You did amazing job!
Thanks for the upload!
Maps offer us insights into world events that we otherwise would be hard pressed to find. Awesome video.
The map style you use is really good.
dday gives me shivers its so hard to picture all these men laying down theirs lives, storming beaches filled with barbed wire and tank defence, on top of mortar and machine gun fire, chills
Good quick history lessons. Thanks 🙏
This is a great video! You managed to present a balanced and clear range of these events in a shell. Thank you so much!
А мне не очень понравилось. Диз не поставлю конечно , потому что это труд. Но ... ни слова про ленд лиз почему то.
Война с территории Финляндии почему то велась только возле Ленинграда, а про то что немцы на севере рвались к Мурманску вообще ни слова.
Но что больше всего убило - то что у все завоевания Японии сохранялись до 1945 года, что совершенно не так.
Mongolia was in USSR’s side since 1939 clash with Japan at its border, and Mongolian Peoples Army took part in liberating Inner Mongolia, which is north east China. Also, Mongolia was supporting USSR with supplies such like food, warm clothes and horses etc from the very beginning of German’s attack to USSR.. So, Mongolia was in alliance’s side during the whole time of WWII.
Mongolia didn’t officially join the war until 1945 it clearly was on the Allies side but saying it was in it is the same as saying America was in the Allies in 1940
Partisans were present and pretty active in Italy, too. The post-war political scenario in Italy had its roots in the resistance against fascism and german occupation...
4:00 It seems like you’re saying Hitler is placed as head of government because of a 1932 legislative election. I know you’re trying to summarize this part quickly, but I would have said he was appointed Chancellor first, then head of government after a crisis, to avoid making it sound like it was a democratic process.
Yeah, that did come off as an incomplete description. Hilter manipulated his way into power by using the mechanisms of the democratic government to nullify itself. Obviously hard to condense into an 18 minute video, but it could be clarified a bit more.
Thank you so much for acknowledging the fact that Mexico fought in the war, not many people know about this.
And Poland :(
Like battle of britian
Or Monte casino
Or Tobruk
Or Bzura,Westerplatte,warsaw
@ no name no one cares about mexico. You do whatever america tells you to do
Awesome video! I love this informational style. It's like Oversimplified but *not* simplified. I'm definitely going to learn about some areas of history I don't know much about. Subscribed.
For those wondering:
Petain was put on trial for collaboration with the Nazis,he was found guilty and sentenced to death.
His sentence was commuted to life in prison without parole on account of both his service to France during WW1 and his age.
He was stripped of all his military honors other than his title as Marshal Of France.
As De Gaulle said of him:
"His life was successively banal, then glorious, then deplorable, but never mediocre"
Underrated channel
Much love 💕
EDIT:
Quick fact about the civial war in Spain: Hitler, intervened in the Spanish Civil War after Franco seeked for his help. Establishing fashism in Spain would serve his interests in expanding in Europe. Besides, as he was developing new weapons and war tactics, he saw the Spanish civil war as a great opportunity to test these "live".
The civil war had one of its bloodiest battles in Guernica. Picasso drew a huge painting called "the battle of Guernica".
I remember they teach you this fact in school, my history book even had that picture
Ussr felt the same way
The war was seen by both as a way to test their tactics before they fight
So basically a training ground before the match
The Spanish civil war was the last war to employ cavalry units.
Viva Franco
To anyone wondering: This is of course not true.
Franco, leading the Nationalists, sent a plea for help to Hitler, who, seeing the opportunity to gain an ally or at least a friendly government in Spain, of course agreed. The goal here was to make sure that there is no French-/ Sovietfriendly government ruling Spain and also to secure access to Spanish resources.
Same goes for the USSR who simply tried to gain a socialist/ communist ally or subject in the Republicans.
You forgot that Czechs and Poles, after being defeated by Germany, fought in the West, among others, in the French campaign and the battle for Britain. In 1945, almost 200,000 Polish soldiers also took part in the Battle of Berlin...

thank for all the word about the summary
The Second World War began in Poland because it was a particular keystone of the Treaty of Versailles in Central and Eastern Europe. That was how both the leader of Bolshevik Russia, Lenin, and the conservative British politician (later Prime Minister) Churchill described its role. Poland rescued the Treaty of Versailles with its victory over the Soviet army in Warsaw in 1920. It is even correct to talk about a Versailles-Riga Treaty in relation to Central and Eastern Europe which was proposed by Polish historians. The war broke out in 1939 because two totalitarian powers with a strategic alliance desired a nulling of the peace treaty and by destroying Poland they destroyed that order.
Of course, history could have happened differently. It has never been the case in history that only one series of events was possible. Military operations in the second global armed conflict could have begun with the German attack on Czechoslovakia (if, of course, they had taken the decision to defend themselves in 1938) or with the Third Reich’s attack on France which Hitler spoke about in a secret briefing of the Wehrmacht command on 22 May 1939. But one thing must be made clear: the tactical alliance between Berlin and Moscow only made sense if its aim was the division of the Polish state. It was with this in mind that the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact was signed and thus Poland became the first victim of the Second World War.
Very concise and interesting. Although the war was horrible, it was very interesting to see how so many countries were trying so many different ways to conquer territory.
Your videos are simply amazing. Thank you for the outstanding pacing and visuals.
The best video about world war 2, in my opinion.
Switzerland is like that one guy who just doesn’t wake up from anything
Or the guy who is secretly holding Nazi gold and stolen Jewish goods while saying, "I'm neutral!"
1 thing wrong with this map. The aral sea was still big back then
And Brazil isn’t marked as an ally, but that’s minor and might be corrected in the description or the pinned comment.
Also, Switzerland, Austria and Sweden shouldn't be blue countries after the war
Yours Truly actually Austria was divided after the war so it should be red and blue
@@yourstruly4817 and turkey

I love this video and it’s very neutral about both sides, you just display the facts and that makes this video more accurate. Best in its class.
In fact, Japan did not commit a massacre in Nanjing.

I remember my grandfather (RAF photographer) retelling the day he first saw German scouts and advance attack planes flying down from the north over Greece. Two weeks later they were evacuating!
Great video! And nice touch using the Canadian flag from that time period.
It's kinda crazy that the UK was basically soloing about a dozen countries for a while. That island defense is bonkers and they were just everywhere on the globe at that time.
These vids are always so great, keep up the good work dude.
The English historian John Keegan once said the following phrase: "Brazil the forgotten ally". This map reproduces exactly what he said. Brazil declared war on Germany on August 22, 1942 and participated with the Americans with its navy and bases in the South Atlantic campaign in July 1944. a fighter squadron, the first fighter group joined to the American 350 squadron. In combat on the Gothic line in northern Italy between 1944 and 1945, it then dominated all of northwestern Italy capturing Turin at the end of the war and advanced to Susa on the French border.
After the war Brazil was one of the founders of the UN and until today opens all the speeches being Brazil responsible for creating the state of Israel in 1947.
But on the map Brazil appears completely blank !
Despites men, Brazil offered most of its food supplies, which some have been sunk by German submarines

It's easy to explain the Germans after February 1945 were fleeing the Soviets in the east, the Americans and British in the west and the Americans, Brazilians and British in Italy because they were losing the war.
In Norway the Germans didn't run because nobody was attacking them.
i love this video so much information that i wasnt educated on. Japan did messed up bombing pearl harbor, they really poked a sleeping lion and found out.

This video is soo amazing, simply explained and understandable. Awesome!

Im sorry for Canadian,but i didn't know Canada participated on WW2 XD
Canada just hit juno Beach and it wasn't really anything compared to what the American went through on D Day. Canada just pretty much walked onto the beach unopposed. The Americans get most of the attention because they had the most casualties and juno beach in comparison was a Sunday stroll.
Wow this is so much to learn, this is much better than history classes TwT
I love this AND the Music!
Oversimplified is an exceptional channel for getting people interested in history.... but Geo History is the GOAT. one of the most complex eras in human history condensed into a 23 minute video. Take a bow
This is one of the best videos in the condensing of such a monumentally complex world event. You need to watch it several times to absorb the overall, however, this should be essential viewing in the effort to understand the maelstrom that was WWII.
Let's not forget Alan Turing in Britain (Bletchley Park) at the time decoding the german radio transmissions (watch Imitation Game) and strategically choosing which battles to win so as not to draw suspicion. As Joseph Stalin said, WWII was won with British brain, American brawn, Russian blood.
I really like the music they played when ww2 started because it really fits that event
This was made really well, good job!
your videos are so simple and delicate, I really don’t think others can top your quality
A very good documentary of what happened from beginning to the end of the war
5:20 you forgot to say that Republican Spain had soviet support and international (poorly trained) brigades.
Let's goooooo I've been waiting for this!
This is exactly what I wanted. Awesome video!
