Funny thing is that the horse is native to North America, but they went extinct on the continent thousands of years before Europeans arrived. It a strange way bringing horses over was less of an import and more of a wildlife restoration.
Interesting, didn't know that. I imagine, that the species that was brought over, was pretty different from the ones that lived there before? 10.000 years is pretty long time. Interesting, that they might also have been domesticated. Good Comment.
Another reason why non-US American history isn't taught in US schools. Students on hearing about yet another coup and massacre: How do these mid ranking officers keep getting the idea to overthrow the legitimately elected government and become military dictators? Teacher: err, that... that would have been the work of the US government.
Could you imagine being a student having to keep track of all the democratically-elected governments that were overthrown by US-backed forces? That test would be hellish
nah if they taught actual world history students might get the impression that the world was full of evil people and it was not uniquely American to have slaves and drive people off to settle land and even worse the students might learn that communism/any-form-of-post-religious-government-or-culture has always not only fail but resulted in mass death
The only ones that invade during winter were the mongols and they were successful, though going north not west to east. As for why in june after winter there's a muddy period. Meaning June is the earliest you could invade it properly, keeping in mind harvest times as well. The issue beyond that is Russia is so big it's impossible to get through it from west to east in one season. Also worth mentioning Moscow is about as far as anyone gets too, the polish-Lithuanian commonwealth only got that far, and the germans only got a bit further to the Volga
What's kinda interesting is, that according to scientists horses originally came from America, long long before any humans existed. They spread to Eurasia when the continents were still connected and then went extinct everywhere except for some areas in Southern Russia or Kazakhstan. From there humans proliferated them again, including to America.
For reference in 10:13 in Germany you are not allowed to own a tank UNLESS the shooting mechanism is filled by concrete (legal term loosely translated: pacified). I think this is true for most of the EU though. This guy had also a lot of weapons in his basement. I don't know if you can legally own an armed F-35 in the US. I'd wager not. M1A1 might also be difficult.
The F-35 could be an interesting case if the person who owns the field the one crashed in last week (almost typod NEXT week!) files a claim for return after the investigation! IIRC there's currently a case pending for other objects that have fallen off planes, and it was 'technically' abandoned by the pilot... /s
@@bobd2659 I don't know about things falling off an airplane counting as "abandoned" because otherwise "fell off a lorry" wouldn't be synonymous to stolen. For abandoning, the expressed wish of the owner to abandon it is required. This doesn't apply to flotsam from ships as high seas law is quite different. Back on land: Even the F-35 wouldn't legally be counted as abandoned as the military didn't want to abandon it. So the owner of the field has little chance of getting it. But I do like the idea of asking the gouvernment for an F-35.
Would invading Russia in the winter be that dumb? After all, that means it would be winter when your army is in relatively warmer climate, and get warmer as you progress further into Russia. Also it would force the Russians to try and supply their army during Winter, and then the muddy spring time. And presumably it would be easier to supply your army as I presume Germany being closer home. The main problem with Russian winters is the supply lines not just the cold itself. Leaving them exhausted right before the actual push to take St Petersburg (or Leningrad if this is Soviet time frame) Moscow and Stalingrad before winter hits again. Then with those major cities taken try to force a peace treaty, because trying to invade Siberia is suicidal. That, or its a massive mistake. But I imagine winter fighting in Poland's better than Russia.
OH DUDE after the Dissolution of Czechoslovakia, there was a lot of fucking hell here in Slovakia. Prime minister Mečiar did some really dark shit. A LOT of mafia everywhere, dead people, even kidnapping of a president's son. We maybe didn't fight with Czechs, but we fought with each other a fucking lot. SIS (intelligence agency) was built by old socialist ŠTB (Czechoslovak intelligence agency that was directly under KGB) agents and they were literally working with mafia and Mečiar. Cars blowing up, gangs fighting, crime everywhere. NOTHING IS PEACEFUL
I wish I’d had you as a history teacher when I was in high school. I love the fact that you have a genuine curiosity for history, and love what you do which is absolutely amazing. God bless!
spring is the best time as soon as the Rasputiza (russian mud as they call it) dries up, normally it happens between April and may. But tbf weather has less and less impact on offensive preparations as technology develops as it's shown by Napoleon's invasion reaching Moscow but incapable of threatening enough big cities like the Germans were to truly take over
Speaking of the Czech/Slovak breakup, imagine how prosperous the Balkans could be if we found a way to make Josip Tito immortal. Agree with his politics or not, hes the only man to ever make the Balkans not a warring hellscape, and itll probably never happen again.
Im a guy, I don’t typically think about the Roman Empire at all unless prompted. Though, that kinda applies to any possible subject. Mostly I think of anime, cats, sci fi, what I want to eat, who would win a death battle, how long can this store be going out of business cause it’s been months fr close or don’t.
When my bio-mom (who was born in 1947) was a kid, they had a party line! If you don't know what that is, it's a phone line for your whole neighborhood, that you have to wait for no one else on your street being on the phone and then you'd call the operator and have them connect you to another neighborhood, hopefully who you wanted picked up, cause all the houses on that line would ring! After that, the phone numbers didn't start with numbers, they started with plants! If you go to Lakewood, WA, there's still a sign across from the Towne Center that has JU-65937 (I don't remember the exact numbers but yeah), which the JU stands for Juniper! My adopted dad and I were talking about it a few months ago and he said it started as plants because "they thought we were too stupid to remember that many numbers"
Yeah it's because you can't own a tank with a fully functioning gun and I am not even sure if you can own one in Germany with a deactivated gun, especially a german WW2 tank might be in violation of some other laws.
It isn't necessarily don't attack Russia in winter, it's you must push to Moscow and take it before "mud season" or Rasputitsa. Heavy rains in autumn and snow thaws in spring make anything not paved virtually impossible to move military vehicles.
Hi Mr. Terry. What is a common misconception about a historical event or fact you wish people understood right the most ? (Ex : Vikings did not actually have horns on their helmets) Thank you !
It's not really an easily digestible content for multiple reasons, however if you wanna have something really controversial to take in consideration I strongly recommend Schwerpunkt. Not sure it's the right niche but his videos on Tradition are mind-blowing, even aside his doctoral expertise in the art of war
OK I know I must be missing something but at 4:30 What has British Poet, Author and Children's Laureate (2007 - 2009), Michael Rosen got to do with the Apache? Were they going on a bear hunt?
I grew up in Dorset in the UK and was surrounded by ruins of Roman villas, mosaics, roads, there's a part of a Roman wall just in the middle of the town next to a roundabout... the place names are Romanised, the hills surrounding my village are made of abandoned hill forts that were remnants of the pre-Roman civilisations that migrated in to the Roman settlements in the valleys, the roads joining large towns are all dead straight because they follow the route of Roman roads... there's a reason I think of the Roman Empire fairly regularly! Even my village church was built in 512 AD, which was (possibly) within living memory of the Romans leaving the UK! And this is a rural part of the UK, I imagine people in Rome are reminded of it rather more often.
Its kind of ironic, but if they HAD invaded in midwinter, they could potentially have built supply lines while the ground was frozen enough and then already been there and ready by late spring. Fighting the Rasputitsa either way, just be smart and prepare for it.
The funny thing is: Mannerheim, when he was presented with a choice: assist Nazis in war with USSR, or not, he decided to just stop at former soviet-finnish border. And never go further. There was only some volunteers. Which is why Finland in ww2 were never occupied. Just made a peace with USSR.
I think Hitler intended to invade the USSR in early spring. But he had to divert troops elsewhere because Mussolini was failing to invade a country in the balkans (I think it was Albania), and it delayed his attack by several months. Hitler may have defeated the USSR if he had those extra months before winter.
The French resistance just sort of hung around passing information and waiting for the Free French forces to do something but that never really happened either. Eventually they got liberated. The UK was somewhat of a staging ground for a lot of resistance movements and soldiers who fled that wanted to fight. We had quite a lot of Polish soldiers and pilots that fought with us after Poland fell.
Well, regarding Slovakia a Czechia. Czechs just took everything from our state and made it theirs. Flag, all the achvievements and acted like they are carying out the tradition. Our Slovak flag was created after the Velvet revolution, but It was build on Slavic colours and old Slovak sign, representing three mountain chains in Slovakia. One of them is part of Hungary nowadays.
I think of Rome multiple times daily. Mainly in that they killed the culture of my ancestors, and how horrible it is Julius Caesar died, as I think it would have worked out great. All the way to the point that I think technology would be about 50 years further ahead of he hadn't been assassinated
@@robert3622its not the volcanic ash, its the limestone they used being of a very specific rare variety that has limited self-repair properties when mixed with seawater
I remember in European history that the rebels invade elsinor castle and raise the Danish flag. The next day the nazi flag was raised. This happen many times. Speaking of Roman Empire, they expanded too much and tried to get the land east of the Rhine, only to be defeated by the Allemani
No spring doesn't work eith for attacking in eastern europe in general. Because of the spring Runoff and back then most roads were dirt so you can imagine whats it like in spring. I mean we even have a word in Russiaan that describes this seasen with is "Rasputisa" which roughly translates to "unroading"
To be fair, why did the chef have the name Caesar? I have no clue but willing to bet that Julius Caesar very much influenced that name if not the Roman Caesar itself..................
As I understand it, and I'm no expert, Hitler's invasion of Russia was rapidly doomed anyhow as he completely overextended his supply lines. The winter finished things faster, but Russia would have beaten them back anyhow (possibly at greater cost to the Russians though).
the thing is if you invide Russia in other time but a winter it would be hell in other way, the road would become mud riden and wet, really wet and it will clog your engine most of the time, it reall an ardous task to invide Russia Winter time or not
The Apache were great horse people and great warriors, until the Comanche showed up and were done taking everyone's crap. They were the true plains horse lords of north America.
How often do I think of the Roman empire? NEVER. Ever. I know the planets, or is it the days of the week? One of them are all Roman names, but they don't make me think of the empire, at all. That's just friggin weird
I'm glad this Drew person stopped presenting videos like he was running late for the airport. Now I just wish he'd learn some better editing skills. Making a video about memes with half the memes cut off by the edge of the video, talking over tiktoks without lowering the volume.. It's just terrible. Also it seems he doesn't know the difference between "us" and "U.S.".
