Woooo
I was the first reply! Cool!

Can you talk about the Korean Miracle?
FLY HIGH MATPAT
How has this guy gone from animated monty python to making a better documentary that actual television stations
That is a good way of putting it.
@@nathanseper8738 yeah
Real ones remember the vic2 tutorials
than*
TH-camrs making documentaries with higher production values than TV stations seems to be the standard these days.
It boggles the mind that one dude with a computer is able to do better than a company with dozens of employees with the best equipment available and access to subject experts, yet here we are.
In the end, Makarov committed the same old mistake that most often happens with great generals.
He didn't appoint a successor, no one stepped up and things took a turn for the worse. It's a classic.
To be fair he was basically the only competent admiral the russian had
@@thefrenchbaguette919one of two. Rozhestvensky was fairly competent himself, but the problem was he fleet was iced in much of the time and the sailors were conscripts who rarely saw the sea. He was dealt a really, REALLY bad hand. That he made it to Asia alone was a miracle.
@@wesleyfravel5149 Hm I wonder They Won't Train those Conscripts how to doing their job First Before start expedition at least Some Basic Stuff or Capital Forced Them to start Expedition without prepare
@@user-oi3jk4qo9j What? That’s preposterous. Why do any of that when you can just… not bother?
@@user-oi3jk4qo9jif I remember correctly, a lot of those conscripts and reserves came last minute (relatively speaking), plus lots of resources were being directed towards the war.
So even when they tried to perform drills, such as gunnery, it was extremely limited by logistics.
45:25, Togo really went ahead and said GG
“Stand proud, Rostovensky. You were strong.”
-ToGOAT
This happens more than you think once the fighting is over.
"You were magnificent, Rostovensky. I shall remember your name for as long as i live."
11:42
"...Suprise attack against the Russian Pacific fleet"
_This will be a recurring theme_
Spoilers
They did the same to the Chinese during the First Sino Japanese War. The Japanese do not formally declare war even on themselves. I remember reading that preemptive attacks were a core part of their warrior culture.
to be fair they are not know for there navy
Russia has this magnet style navy, which nations are attracted to it and do a surprise attack
@@Nn91. TBH it would be surprise for them even if they would be going to combat.
in the words of Admiral Togo "Defeat is a common fate of a soldier. There is nothing to be ashamed of in it. The great point is whether we have performed our duty."
15:50 OK the navy general rolled ONE. Critical Hit on the battleship. GAME OVER...RESULT OF FAILURE YOUR OWN SHIP SUNK.
he had a plan, but luck said no
Man, what if Makarov survived? Such an interesting scenario
A navy general? I guess we're calling the land military officers army admirals then!
@Historyguy-xu5ht fun fact his family is famous for the Russian Milltary hand gun of same name Pistolet Makorov M9 in 9×18 Makorov which became the standard Russian army sidearm of 1955# I believe his Great Grand Son was the gun maker# built in State own Factorys like the main on Of Tual# there is Chinese copys but unlike the original Russian don't have red colored grips which r the Russian Identification for them as opposed too Chinese Garbage version r.#mostly because Chinese type jam way too much.
@@shinsenshogun900 *The athenians were know by their use of Army Admirals and they had alexander, the "Temistocles"*
Rozhestvensky's trip around the world with the second pacific squadron is an adventure worthy of its own hours long video, it plays out like a D&D campaign gone wrong
I want a dark comedy movie made out of that voyage. The random nonsense that happened is prime dark comedy gold.
I mean, how did the Kamchatka keep screwing up as badly as it did?
It started out bad, got worse, then the wild animals showed up, then it all got destroyed in one day
@@alexander1112000never can be too careful of torpedo boats
@@Balrog-tf3bg until the torpedo boats being present is actually a possibility
@@alexander1112000'Do you see torpedo boats?'
20:16 uncle iroh, but he doesn’t give up the siege
Avatar: The Last Airbender (and Legend of Kora) have been heavily inspired by East and North Asian culture, so it's not improbable that some aspects of the show could have been inspired by events such as this one, especially since the Fire Nation bears much resemblance to Japan and their rise to glory (and war crimes).
leaves from the vine
Falling so slow
Like fragile tiny shells
Drifting in the foam
Lumber company causing a massive war is almost as superficially absurd as an arch duke getting shot starting an immensely greater slaughter
Let's not forget that a war was almost started because of a pig.
It was actually Russia who start WW1. By invading Austria-Hungary.
Russia also started WW2 by invading Poland with Nazi Germany.
Russia trying start WW3 by invading Ukraine, is nothing unexpected.
@@TheRezrothat's blatantly false, WW1 was started when Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia. Russia only joined because of a previous alliance, same as everyone else.
@@Sandycheeks6699 And who sponsored Serbian freedom fighters? Russia only join this war to cover humiliating defeat during Ruso-Japanese war.
@@TheRezro erm, the freedom fighters (the black hand)were bosnian, Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia because Serbia was giving resources to the black hand, Russia declared war on Austria-hungary because Russia had a pact with Serbia
P.S. i had to repeat names to make it clearer
I love the intro, the dialogue is from ghost of tsushima i believe.
Thanks for the video
Yes it is and it’s great
Fitting since it's (finally, thank God) coming to PC.
@@WarriorVirtue When?
@@reverie314 May 16th
It’s definitely relevant. After all, the Baltic Fleet’s clash with Japan’s Imperial Navy is called The Battle of Tsushima
Bro i cant belive how far you have come from teaching me vic2 now whole documentary I hope their is even more of this in the future great work my man
HOI4 REDDIT ENCIRCLEMENT. Actually made me laugh so hard, good one Ezekiel.
Alex the Rambler would be proud lmao
Do you see Torpedo Boats?
No lol
@@TrollAntiYT Kamchatka would disagree
@@anelstarcevic696 The time Kamchatka lost the fleet was probably the happiest for the admiral of the whole trip. Too bad she found the fleet again later. Same with the "reinforcements".
@kaltaron1284 honestly it's impressive that the reinforcement squadron even found the main fleet
@@lucasfragoso7634 It should have been impossible for them to catch up but they "cheated" by going through Suez and then there was the whole Madagaskar episode.
I also love that the Russians sent resupplies once. Instead of shells it was mostly winter gear. Famously very useful around Africa and the Indian Ocean.
You probably know Drachinifel's two-parter? If not, I recommend to check it out.
Russia not being prepared to fight wars against weaker neighbors seems to be a trend
It just shows how russian goverment apatatus is
They always seem to underestimate enemy capabilities
Yet given enough time and losses the russians snowball into a formidable fighting force
Russia invading smaller neighboring states: 🤪
Russia defending against brutal invasion: 👹
Lol, I love comments like this end up aging like milk has soon has they made 🤣
"Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me thrice, I should stop drinking vodka" -Russians
The introduction with Ghost of Tsushima dialogue is so amazing. I can Imagine that this would fit perfectly in the Russo Japanese War.
The animations and use of countryballs here are just so beautiful. What an amazing video about an incredible part of the 20th century. Thank you Ezekiel for giving us such an amazing video.
japan said “screw it” and fought a war with Russia and surprised everyone by actually winning
(Just to simplify)
I've been waiting for this since you released the video about the Meiji restoration, and you did not disappoint.
What noobs. If I was the Emperor I whould've'have spammed Yari Ashigaru and won in ten turns flat. If I was Russian it would've been Tsar's Guard. Just build farms, ports and roads, don't forget the guild, and you're all good.
Based total war reference
The Ghost of Tsushima intro is goated.
My greatgreatgrandfather was an East Prussian German who lived in Russia just kilometers away grom the German border. Sadly he was conscripted into the Russian Army and fell in the war. May he rest in peace.
I love how you can tell the point when war stops being "fun" and becomes endless bloodshed for no reason but influence and territorial gain.
General Nogi really reminds Uncle Iroh from the Avatar.
Also the siege of Port Arthur can be compared with the siege of Ba-Sing-Se
I knew it sounded similar too something I had seen before did not realize it was that though
"Leaves from the vine...."
I love this channel, you dived into Asian history which aren’t really much covered. At least the animated ones. Your vids also keeps getting better and better!
Gotta love the Iroh reference
How the heck did you make such a masterpiece in a single month!!??!
Props to you fr.
This is amazingly done. Your videos just keep getting better and better. I really look forward to what you will deliver in the future.
A peculiar fact is that Nogi single-handedly managed to Make Seppuku Great Again. At the time, it was widely regarded in Meiji Japan as old-fashioned and belonging in the country's barbaric past. With a war hero like Nogi doing it, public perception of seppuku changed drastically. Thus, in his own way, Nogi contributed to the growth of the cult of honourable sacrifice and disregard for one's own survival that culminated in WW2.
Your quality just keeps getting better and better each video!
Love this video, The amount of effort put in is incredible.
Countryballs documentary!
Edit: The intro is really well made. You put your heart into this. The voices were so good
Fun Fact:Montenegro jpined on the side of the russians in the war and were left out from the treaty so they stayed in war with japan for ower 200 years untile 2006.
It was one century ago rather than two.
"They decided to take the best of both men's plans"
Huh, pretty clever, almost too clever.
"...throw them out, and impliment the most self-defeating strategy possible."
Yeah I should've seen that coming.
Out bloody standing Ezekiel. Loved it very much.
This video was a lot of fun! Great job. I love your video style. Keep up the great work.
It's always a good day when CallMeEzekiel uploads.
Yo, Napoleon Total War music!🪖
This guy uses the most dumb music from that franchise for things. He used Japanese music to represent China so many times.
@@nicholasgutierrez9940 I don't care, this is good music
Damn this weather sir! Wet powder makes misfires a certainty
@@nicholasgutierrez9940And he used video game music for Russia. Stop being immature.
Well-made! Thank you for your hard work!
Easiest subscribe of my life! Great content thanks! 🔥
"Also, check bounced. Please send again" 35:50 lmao
Thanks!
This is fantastic, i love the animation.
I started the video 30 seconds ago but I already know this has just made my day. I loooove the Russo-Japanese war. LIKED AND SUBSCRIBED! 🤣 ok you're about to stop talking about Patreon, see ya
The story of the 2nd russian Pacific Fleet is one of the funniest journeys from hell type stories.
And when you read about it, you then think to the modern Russian navy, and you think not much has changed.
Another great video! 🪖
I love the Uncle Iroh reference you made. It hits home.
Excellent content!
Reave instead of leave was a very nice touch on the japanese accent, they dont have Ls
Love the total war music you use in some of these videos 👍
going to need this soundtrack you used 😮💨
It's nice to see that Russia's military incompetence is as strong as ever! Truly a great military tradition that Putin is upholding
What’s crazy about this era is that an entire squadron could actually disappear and there’s next to nothing a nation could do about it
I love the amount of detail he puts in his videos ❤
Came here just here to listen about shenanigans of the Russian Baltic Fleet.
Ended up subbing because I love the presentation style
This is some high quality video!
I’m literally learning this in my U.S. world history class. Tysm ❤️
Lucky. We never learned about this war once in my high school classes
The story of the Second Pacific Squadron, if you don't know it, is amazing and practically a Monty Python skit. This video doesn't go into it much but if you have the time, after watching you should read up on or watch a video dedicated to it.
Love ur vids
that opening is the most dramatic use of Countryballs I've ever seen
This is my favorite TH-cam channel ngl
Good Work, this was informative and funny.
It was good alright all I am saying...
Ur still here
Beans
Every CallMeEzekiel video thumbnail be like: [insert topic]? Not in my [insert country]
2:28 do i see the "up next" theme for a video being chamberlain saves the world? Knowing the usual telling of ww2, that sounds interesting (or maybe ironic idk)
Nice vid
I find it funny that while the second Pacific's squadron is being portrayed as incompetent in this video, it's still nowhere near the reality of how much of a disaster that expedition was.
It was a miracle it even got to near Korea in the first place. Some of the ships were even just old yachts with guns slapped on them.
If you want to see a really interesting anime which involves this war, "Golden Kamuey" is a really good one!
Love your vids man keep it up :)
You knoe this is one of the channels that i see so many Philippine countryball and as a filipino myself thank you
Would be really funny if you would do a full separate video on the 2nd Pacific Squadron.
Why doesn't this guy have 1 million already?
This animation style. I love it
20:47 "The Russians first expected their war against Japan to be short and glorious, but their defeats at Sea, in Manchuria, and the coming Siege of Port Arthur made it clear that they were in for a long War"
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Just like in Finland
Never thought I'd hear the word "madlad" used unironically in a history video lol
Woah, this video is magnificent
Just from the music I can tell what games you like haha. I pray for all the souls that were sent to the afterlife in this underlooked conflict.
Very high quality
My great Respekt for this great Video
Is that ghost of Tsushima in the start?💀
i love the usage of NTW soundtrack
Thank you for talking about this war. My great Grandfather lost his arm in this war. Glad he made it out alive.
Highest honor of being watched while I eat lunch… peak countryball history.
20:16 ...Uncle iron singing soldier boy come marching home reference? 🪖
20:22 I can just hear "Leaves from the vine" from this image.
Amazing
That intro looked like the Backstory of Zuko from avatar.
Leading men to their deaths? Definitely one of Zukos pet peeves
DUDE WAKE UP NEW AUTISTIC HISTORICAL COUNTRYBALL VIDEO DROPPED 🎉🎉🔥🔥🔥🔥
The quality of this video is incredibly high
Honestly I would like to see more of this and I think that some videos for Scandinavian history would be cool😊
this is a literal documental masterpiece of a work
The Shogun 2 Total War music 10/10 FOTSFOREVER
Man i really pity Nogi story, that guy suffered even in victory.
You're fricking awesome
Almost made the Russian baltic fleet sound competent.
Love the total war music
These videos are so ####### good. It has made truly like history and your channel. Very well made videos that are almost 1 hour long.
Keep up the GREAT work.🫡🔥❤️🇪🇪
20:20 Uncle Iroh
A man of high culture ,I see
Is that Yuki No Shingun playing during the patreon plug.
The Emperor’s Army, a million strong, set out to punish the powerful savages of the North.
On the battlefield, in the midst of the sieges, the bodies piled up like mountains.
I am ashamed to show my face to the fathers who remain back home,
Though we few return today in Triumph.
Triumphant Return -written by Nogi Maresuke
That ghost of tshumia intro went so hard
