"We are fifty or a hundred years behind the advanced countries. We must make good this distance in ten years. Either we do it, or they will crush us." - J.V. Stalin, Feb. 4th 1931
Ataturk also predicted WW2 and made a lot of warnings to the following ruler Ismet Inonu that was one of the biggest reasons why Turkey stayed neutral even though Ismet was on good relations with Hitler.
@@Super-Shafs Polish resistance was the biggest resistance force in Nazi occupied Europe, the Warsaw Uprising was the biggest urban uprising in the history of Europe. You may ask why was the Warsaw uprising not successful then? The answer is pretty simple, allies in the west rushed to help the resistance in Paris while USSR simply stooped at the gates of Warsaw and waited until the Home Army will be destroyed by Nazis, because Stalin considered both the Polish Home Army and the Nazi Germany enemies of the state.
@@pacthug4life True that. All the talk about the Poles folding when the Germans attacked is rubbish. There was fierce resistance albeit futile at the end
@@syndicate983 The Battle of Moscow is another contender but I'd draw the line at the point the Germans had no chance of winning. At Kursk they were trying to force a truce with the USSR.
@@vova64778 point of the matter is, Russia essentially is literally unconquerable unless you get a HOI4 console command so it gives you infinite manpower and factories. First, Russia is so damn big that you need millions of troops to conquer everything, because this land means the average Russian mentality isn't to surrender once St.Petersburg or Moscow falls. They have so much men as well that they have the Urals protecting Siberia from any European invasion and the Far East to defend from Japanese/Chinese attacks means they can just move their economy to Siberia just like what they actually did in WWII. The people of the Soviet Union/Russia are also people who are willing to throw themselves upon meatgrinders to save their own people, again like in WWII. So yeah, unless you have HOI4/AOC2/any other strategy game, then chances are that even today's Russia is pretty unconquerable.

The Soviets and Bulgarians kicked out the Germans from most of modern day Serbia, Kosovo and North Macedonia. The partisans mainly fought in Smyrna and Bosnia. So Tito couldn't do jack shit on his own. The Tito Stalin split happened in 1948, up until that the two countries were alies.
@@CsGo-vf5dm Bulgaria was a dejure ally of the Germans but didn't send any troops to the front. In September of 1944 Bulgaria switched sides and "liberated" by itself North Macedonia, Southern Moravia, Kosovo and helped the Soviets and Ygoslavs in the battles of Belgrade, Srem, Drava and Vienna.
Most of them were Serbian Partisans, not really Yugoslav. Only the Slovenes and the Serbs actually fought against the Axis. Since Serbia and Slovenia were actually occupied while Greater Croatia(including Muslims), greater Bulgaria, Greater Hungary and Greater Albania were created on Serbian territories. And as you can see from the map, the uprisings were almost exclusively on Serb-inhabited territory.
@Jeb Bush It's not about the "countries", most of those borders are artificial anyway. Partisans operated in almost exclusively Serb-inhabited areas of Yugoslavia. It's not just because the Serbs were the majority of Yugoslavia, but it's because the Serbs were the only anti-Axis force in Yugoslavia. Every other people was an ally to Hitler and had irredentist goals achieved under Hitler. Albanians and Croats and Muslims even had their own SS divisions.

Russia and Russian nation were formed finally only in 1480. Before that in 8-14 centuries it was a bunch of Balto-Slavic, Balto-Finnic and Balto-Nordic tribes, settled from Baltic sea to White sea.
The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was the only one to conquer the Kremlin and the Russians so painfully remembered that Putin himself proclaimed the noroadic exile of expelling Poles from the Kremlin and Moscow
@@typowycebulak2060 yes, but it was during the troubles and civil war in Russia (1598-1613), when Rurik dynasty died and there was no one to rule the country. Romanovs came to power only in 1613.

Thanks so much man! I created this video over a 15 month period and worked as late as until 5:30 AM in the morning on it, so I really appreciate you saying that!
Translation of what Hitler says from 1:54 onwards: "The people's war, and their hate for each other, it is fueled by a certain kind of people. It is a small, rootless, international group, which agitates people, forces them against each other, does not want them to rest. It is the group of people that do not have a home! Those that don't have a homeland where they come from, but they can live in Berlin, they can be in Brussels by tommorow, in Paris the day after, and then in Prague, and then in Vienna, and then in London, and they feel at home everywhere! They are the only ones, that can be really called International, because they go about their business everywhere!" He is, propably, talking about Jews, despite not saying it.
@soulplexis Hitler said himself in speeches that he was against Communism and Capitalism but he supported business and he appears at a Siemens Factory 💀 😑. He was the most totalitarian state capitalist.

Well, they did jointly invade Iran with the British. At first they just demanded that Iran allowed some Allied forces in, in order to allow Allied supplies and Lend Lease to enter the Soviet Union via Iran. When Iran refused, then the Soviets and British used force, although resistance was not fierce and Iran did not have a strong or modern military
Hello! My name is kiril Burinskij. My great great grandmother which I got to see, was a partisan in 1941 to 1944 in the USSR.She recieved a red Cross medal for this. She stole information from the German nazi occupiers and sent them off to the front line. My great grandad was a pilot, and throughout the war he received 2 red stars/crosses for destroying over 20 planes throughout the war. My other great grandad was a soldier who fought in Stalingrad, sadly passed away after being shot multiple times with a machine gun. My great grandma lived with the partisans in forests, she had no food no clothes nothing, but what she was left in. She survived freezing temperatures with barely any clothes. She was starving due to a lack of food after Germans burned all the supplies and villagers in a church. She is still alive today and tells me everything about the war, she is 84 years old. She sadly can not walk, as after the war, due to the freeze, her legs were strongly affected. My other great grandad lived in the Kavkaz, he survived after my great great grandma hid him in a bucket, whilst she was sent of to be killed along with his sister and brother. He is also still alive today, but sadly has cancer. I unfortunately did not get enough time to ask all questions I had to my other ancestors who passed away. My message to you is, find out everything about your history, it is so interesting. respect the elders, we are the last generation to see them. That's my story.
Thanks man, I am a long time subscriber of your channel cannot wait for your Operation Bagration Documentary! I know the Eastern Front shown in this video in the period after Operation Barbarossa is not the most accurate, so I am considering making a remake in the future to hopefully show the Eastern Front more accurately, I have already found some useful Russian sources that I can use for that
Nico Iannacone: You get included, and you get included, and every partisan force gets included! (Polish Partisans, Yugoslavian partisans, and Italian Partisans)
I've watched a lot of these mapping videos (I find them addicting for some reason) and this is by far the best I've seen for WWII in Europe. Nice job :) You could try your hand at the Pacific War?
Thanks! I am currently working on a project about the American Civil War (in a bit different style to this video), but eventually I may do the Pacific War, although I would like a way to incorporate Naval Battles/Zones of Naval Control in a unique way for that
Thank you for letting me know. I used the date that Hitler ordered Operation Margarethe, March 12th, instead of the date it was carried out, March 19th. Totally my mistake, and yes I am planning eventually to make a remake of this at some point
I knew that Europe had a lot of Partisan soldiers fighting in the war but I had no clue the of the significance they held in liberating south Eastern Europe

Wow, that was really nice of you to say that, thanks man! And i totally agree with what you said, it is disappointing to see what content TH-cam does and does not promote
Actually i think that’s rude. Nothing has to be perfect. Not your drawings or yourself. You don’t have to call people’s drawings bad because nothing has to be perfect
This is amazing work! You even included the movements of Yugoslav partisans too! Do you consider the Winter War as part of WWII? Some mapmakers like Emperortigerstar don't but include it anyway. I assume you consider the Continuation War and Lapland War to be part of WWII right? Do you consider the Greco-Italian War and the Italian Civil War to be part of WWII? I've never heard them referred to by those names.
Thank you! And yes I do consider the Winter War, the Continuation War, the Lapland War, the Greco-Italian War, and the Italian Civil War all to be part of WWII. The Italian Civil War occurred at the same time as the Allied Italian Campaign. Although it was the Germans who were the main opponents of the Allies in Italy, the Fascist German puppet state called the Italian Social Republic (ISR) did have some soldiers defect to their side from the Royal Italian Military, the most prominent of which was Italian Field Marshal Rodolfo Graziani; and they did raise their own divisions who did indeed fight on the battlefield. The Kingdom of Italy did join the Allies in October of 1943 and they did provide a good amount of troops to fight against the Germans/ISR throughout the rest of the war. As for the Greco-Italian War, most people may just call it the Italian invasion of Greece, however that only lasted for a few days and the Greeks did push them back and invade southern Albania. It remained mostly in stalemate for the next few months with some minor action, until the Germans bailed out the Italians by invading Greece in April of 1941.
Most of them were Serbian Partisans, not really Yugoslav. Only the Slovenes and the Serbs actually fought against the Axis. Since Serbia and Slovenia were actually occupied while Greater Croatia(including Muslims), greater Bulgaria, Greater Hungary and Greater Albania were created on Serbian territories. And as you can see from the map, the uprisings were almost exclusively on Serb-inhabited territory.
Señor Donald Trump kind of true but not so simple. Language, religions and nationality were not the main factors back then as they have been in the war of the early 90´s. Political belief was a big factor, if you felt communist, fascist, monarchist, republican or anarchist was a much bigger reason to join one side or the other than the language you spoke. Remember that Tito was Croat ...
Good map. Technical point: "Frankenreich" is the German word for the medieval Frankish Empire (of Charlemagne), not France or Nazi German-occupied France. The Armistice of 1940 divided France into occupied and unoccupied zones. "Vichy France" administered the whole (both), the administration was not divided, though in the occupied zone it was subject to the German military. The main reason for this odd result is that Germany wanted to deny France's big colonial empire to the Allies while preserving the nominal option of deploying troops to it. This required preservation of the French administration as Germany had no way of projecting power into that overseas empire (no way of doing it themselves) even after defeating France in Europe. The main short-term beneficiary was Japan, which of course could project power into Indochina, though invading Indochina beginning in September 1940 critically damaged Japan's already poor relationship with the United States. In May 1941, Germany proved unable to use French control of Syria to prevent Britain from quickly crushing the pro-Axis revolt in Iraq. Britain then immediately invaded Syria, and though France resisted strongly, Britain quickly took complete control and soon installed a Free French administration. In November 1942, the Allies landed in North Africa in Operation "Torch" and France resisted only weakly. Immediately what little reason remained Hitler to continue this arrangement totally disappeared and he decided to try to grab the French Mediterranean fleet. He then launched Case "Anton" to occupy of the whole, making Vichy France truly just a puppet state. France anticipated this, was prepared to fight the occupation at Toulon, and scuttled the fleet, rendering it useless to Germany.
You missed one thing though, Free France didn’t come from Syria although the Brits did install it there as well but some French under Charles De Gaulle in some colonies in Africa resisted Nazi occupation and started their Free French capital at Brazzaville! Later the Brits liberated Syria as it was a Vichy colony and the Germans could pour troops there to capture British oil colonies!
It's not really an invasion, the Germans were in Lapland since 1941. As part of Finlands peace with the Soviets they had to expel the Germans from their territory so the Germans fought against Finnish and Soviet troops while retreating to Norway.
Fact: Finland and Germany had a little secret ” deal ”, that the germans could retreat peacefully from Finland to Norway without any conflict between them. But then the soviets found about it and they had to push them out with force.
Also African theatre but oh shoot, there was minimal action in Africa as all their was was the pesky Italians in Egypt and losing their Central African colony and later Libyan colony and altogether the Vichy colonies!
I am working currently on a Battle of the Bulge documentary for the 75th anniversary, which I am aiming to have out by the 25th of January (but no promises). After that, I am not sure yet whether I will do a World War One and Aftermath video everyday (1914-1923) or the remake of World War Two, who knows, maybe I will try and do them both at the same time

Thank you very much! I am honored that a history teacher is using my video! And yes, I will be doing more in the future. I am not sure about making a patron account, but I greatly appreciate your support!
Definitely the best WW2 Every Day In Europe videos iv'e ever seen from a small channel
Thanks!
Without a doubt, the best WWII video ever. Keep going bro 👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks man!
The music during barbarosa is 🔥🔥
Yes it is
Glory to the Soviet Onion!
Song is Sacred War if anyone wonders
"Holy war"
Its The Sacred War BTW, but not the more popular version. The one who made the version used here got removed off of here recently.
Thank you so much, the accurate mapping really helped my in my school project.
P.S: This is one of the best videos of this topic I've seen. It's concise, there's video footage of events during the war, and you also showed partisan forces in Yugoslavia. You surely deserve more support for what you are doing. All the best for the future!
3:55 sound name is The Sacred War (Священная война)
Book of War: Page one, paragraph one, rule one "Do not invade Russia."
Napoleon: "Who needs rules?"
Hitler: "I know right."
mongols:invade russia in winter, wins
@@putlerkaputt9201 mongols are the exception
Russia and Russian nation were formed finally only in 1480. Before that in 8-14 centuries it was a bunch of Balto-Slavic, Balto-Finnic and Balto-Nordic tribes, settled from Baltic sea to White sea.
The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was the only one to conquer the Kremlin and the Russians so painfully remembered that Putin himself proclaimed the noroadic exile of expelling Poles from the Kremlin and Moscow
@@typowycebulak2060 yes, but it was during the troubles and civil war in Russia (1598-1613), when Rurik dynasty died and there was no one to rule the country. Romanovs came to power only in 1613. After 182 years at the hands of Romanovs, Rzeczpospolita will disappear from the map and become part of Russia for hundreds of years.
I see so many of these videos but this one is for sure the best.
Excellent animation... the amount of work and effort it must have taken to compile this information... incredible. Thank you
Thank you for this vivid and detailed map illustration and the heart behind it so clearly displayed in your opening and in the spirit of this video.
Thanks so much man! I created this video over a 15 month period and worked as late as until 5:30 AM in the morning on it, so I really appreciate you saying that!
Translation of what Hitler says from 1:54 onwards:
"The people's war, and their hate for each other, it is fueled by a certain kind of people. It is a small, rootless, international group, which agitates people, forces them against each other, does not want them to rest. It is the group of people that do not have a home! Those that don't have a homeland where they come from, but they can live in Berlin, they can be in Brussels by tommorow, in Paris the day after, and then in Prague, and then in Vienna, and then in London, and they feel at home everywhere! They are the only ones, that can be really called International, because they go about their business everywhere!"
He is, propably, talking about Jews, despite not saying it.
He was, and was quite open about it.
What speech was that btw
@@darrenwaddington7185 November 10 1933 at a Siemens factory
@soulplexis Hitler said himself in speeches that he was against Communism and Capitalism but he supported business and he appears at a Siemens Factory 💀 😑. He was the most totalitarian state capitalist.
The music actually fits really well. Especially the ending with the allies victory.
Thanks! It took a bit of trial and error to get it just how I wanted it to sound
8:46 endsieg time
Such an underrated channel... best I’ve ever seen
I've seen plenty of WW2 mapping animations in my life, and i'd say some are better then others, but this one here takes the cake man! Good job on it!
Thanks man!

6:25 I love this part where the tide of war is changed and the music sounds more hopeful. (I swear HOI 2 has one of the best music in HOI series.)
EmperorTigerstar, we found your match.
A bit much more classic though EmperorTigerstar is also very good!
Btw, this is a real masterpiece! I really love it!
and its nice that youre still active in teh comments
Thanks!
Germany: I can make Sweden join.
Sweden: Hold my IKEA
Sweden: No one invted me ...
This us the best WWII Europe map animation ever! You also included the Yugoslav partizán forces and Slovak National Uprising! And the names of the countries make that more accurate and it gives more knowledge... This is so great ! I will add that to my Europe wars video list soon!
Thanks man!
Damn good job! You deserve way more views!!!
Thank you very much!
The subscriber to view ratio is unfortunate. You deserve much more credit through subscribers for the work you have done. Honestly mapping is very time consuming and it is amazing you were able to pull this off
Thank you for saying that, I appreciate it! And yes, it is quite time consuming, as I made this video over a 15 month period, and I usually stayed up late working on it, sometimes as late as until 5:30 AM in the morning
Underrated channel you deserve 100k subscribes
This video is way too underrated !
The Sacred War...that song gives me chills !!!
Man, shout out to those guys in Yugoslavia. They held on against the Reich for such a long time and actually made it to the end of the war.
wow just saw this again Nico!
Thanks Dr. Lui, hope all is well dude!
Ussr: guys we are getting rekt by the Germans
Also ussr: lets just invade Iran/Persia
Well, they did jointly invade Iran with the British. At first they just demanded that Iran allowed some Allied forces in, in order to allow Allied supplies and Lend Lease to enter the Soviet Union via Iran. When Iran refused, then the Soviets and British used force, although resistance was not fierce and Iran did not have a strong or modern military
you deserve to have more than 1mil subscribers great work buddy
Thank you very much, I appreciate you saying so!
Hello! My name is kiril Burinskij.
My great great grandmother which I got to see, was a partisan in 1941 to 1944 in the USSR.She recieved a red Cross medal for this. She stole information from the German nazi occupiers and sent them off to the front line.
My great grandad was a pilot, and throughout the war he received 2 red stars/crosses for destroying over 20 planes throughout the war.
My other great grandad was a soldier who fought in Stalingrad, sadly passed away after being shot multiple times with a machine gun.
My great grandma lived with the partisans in forests, she had no food no clothes nothing, but what she was left in. She survived freezing temperatures with barely any clothes. She was starving due to a lack of food after Germans burned all the supplies and villagers in a church. She is still alive today and tells me everything about the war, she is 84 years old. She sadly can not walk, as after the war, due to the freeze, her legs were strongly affected.
My other great grandad lived in the Kavkaz, he survived after my great great grandma hid him in a bucket, whilst she was sent of to be killed along with his sister and brother.
He is also still alive today, but sadly has cancer.
I unfortunately did not get enough time to ask all questions I had to my other ancestors who passed away.
My message to you is, find out everything about your history, it is so interesting. respect the elders, we are the last generation to see them.
That's my story.
This is Awesome! The Music is amazing!
And you even took the time to add Country names
Thanks!
Serbien / Belgien / Niederlande: why are my names german?
Nordfrankreich: ...
Dänemark: ...
I just saw this now. Thanks for crediting me! :D I saw you included all those minor encirclements that people often overlook.
Thanks man, I am a long time subscriber of your channel cannot wait for your Operation Bagration Documentary! I know the Eastern Front shown in this video in the period after Operation Barbarossa is not the most accurate, so I am considering making a remake in the future to hopefully show the Eastern Front more accurately, I have already found some useful Russian sources that I can use for that
@@nicoiannacone6464 no sweat dude, you did well.
@@BlitzOfTheReich Thanks, I appreciate it!
Nico Iannacone: You get included, and you get included, and every partisan force gets included!
(Polish Partisans, Yugoslavian partisans, and Italian Partisans)

*Albanian Partizans
This deserves more likes and views, keep it up man
Greatly Great!! You really need more attention for your videos!
You did it very well, I can't believe you just have 1.5 thousand subscribers, you really deserve more.
You need 10M views!!!!!

Great video man! Keep up the good work!
4:41 *you know shit gets real when Iceland joins the war*
It didn't, it was invaded by Britain
@@FranciTheGamer oh

Why isn't this more popular?
Every 60M casualties from this war are heroes for serving and defending their nation until their death
May they all Rest In Peace for ever
I've watched a lot of these mapping videos (I find them addicting for some reason) and this is by far the best I've seen for WWII in Europe. Nice job :) You could try your hand at the Pacific War?
Thanks! I am currently working on a project about the American Civil War (in a bit different style to this video), but eventually I may do the Pacific War, although I would like a way to incorporate Naval Battles/Zones of Naval Control in a unique way for that
Best WW2 European Front mapping I have ever seen, perfect job.
Even if the axis loses... Becouse thats the worst part...
Nice video.
Hey Nico!
I don’t know if you will make another video can you fix that Operation Margarethe didn’t occur at march 12, however it occurred at 19 march.
Thank you for letting me know. I used the date that Hitler ordered Operation Margarethe, March 12th, instead of the date it was carried out, March 19th. Totally my mistake, and yes I am planning eventually to make a remake of this at some point
Thanks
Really nice video!
I knew that Europe had a lot of Partisan soldiers fighting in the war but I had no clue the of the significance they held in liberating south Eastern Europe
This is the best version of the scenario of ww2 I’ve ever seen good job
You deserve more subs. This is mapping better than tiger star.
There are lots of small channels buried under clickbait in recommendations but you deserve to have more subs
Also TH-cam should recommend this stuff and this is worth several millions of subscribers
Mapping channels put out great content and barely reach 10 k subs while channels that put out bad content with click bait get millions which is not right because mapping needs more credit and deserves more than it gets. If you see this comment please subscribe to this mans channel to finally get the algorithm to recommend his content
Wow, that was really nice of you to say that, thanks man! And i totally agree with what you said, it is disappointing to see what content TH-cam does and does not promote
Actually i think that’s rude. Nothing has to be perfect. Not your drawings or yourself. You don’t have to call people’s drawings bad because nothing has to be perfect
Whoa...So many details...Beautiful! :D
Wow, your maps are much better than Tigerstar!
3:58 I like how the Soviet music starts playing on the day it was written, June 25th.
The Drumstick Empire
June 22nd?
Devrim Ascott no it was on the 25th, it was written three days after the invasion under orders from Stalin.
The Drumstick Empire yeah but the song started playing on the 22nd, when the invasion started
Supreme Leader Admiral Alexander Kolchak no it didn’t it started a ew seconds late.
The Drumstick Empire hehe, okay, hear what you want to hear lmao
4:04 Bezirk Byalistok was annexed by Germany on 1st August 1941 and it didnt include city Grodno, it was attached later.
Excellent work. You should have at least 40.0000 subscribers
5:33 One of the best parts.
Ottimo video! Però non riesco a vedere l’ Operazione Barbarossa senza la solita musica😁
The first soldier in the top left at 2:31 wipes out haha
That soldier: CHARGE !!!
*Falls
That soldier: Oh shit
He predicted Cold War duck and cover drills
Every now and then I come back and see this video and every time I am very impressed
This is amazing work! You even included the movements of Yugoslav partisans too!
Do you consider the Winter War as part of WWII? Some mapmakers like Emperortigerstar don't but include it anyway.
I assume you consider the Continuation War and Lapland War to be part of WWII right?
Do you consider the Greco-Italian War and the Italian Civil War to be part of WWII? I've never heard them referred to by those names.
Thank you! And yes I do consider the Winter War, the Continuation War, the Lapland War, the Greco-Italian War, and the Italian Civil War all to be part of WWII. The Italian Civil War occurred at the same time as the Allied Italian Campaign. Although it was the Germans who were the main opponents of the Allies in Italy, the Fascist German puppet state called the Italian Social Republic (ISR) did have some soldiers defect to their side from the Royal Italian Military, the most prominent of which was Italian Field Marshal Rodolfo Graziani; and they did raise their own divisions who did indeed fight on the battlefield. The Kingdom of Italy did join the Allies in October of 1943 and they did provide a good amount of troops to fight against the Germans/ISR throughout the rest of the war. As for the Greco-Italian War, most people may just call it the Italian invasion of Greece, however that only lasted for a few days and the Greeks did push them back and invade southern Albania. It remained mostly in stalemate for the next few months with some minor action, until the Germans bailed out the Italians by invading Greece in April of 1941.
Most of them were Serbian Partisans, not really Yugoslav. Only the Slovenes and the Serbs actually fought against the Axis.
Since Serbia and Slovenia were actually occupied while Greater Croatia(including Muslims), greater Bulgaria, Greater Hungary and Greater Albania were created on Serbian territories.
And as you can see from the map, the uprisings were almost exclusively on Serb-inhabited territory.
Señor Donald Trump kind of true but not so simple. Language, religions and nationality were not the main factors back then as they have been in the war of the early 90´s. Political belief was a big factor, if you felt communist, fascist, monarchist, republican or anarchist was a much bigger reason to join one side or the other than the language you spoke. Remember that Tito was Croat ...
Nice music choosing. Personally best Video so far about World War Two on the European Theatre that is pure accurate.
Thanks! I tried my best
2:20 hitler has a heart attack “oohhh gaawd”

Thanks! I was not sure how well they would mix together but I think it ended up coming out good
Good map. Technical point: "Frankenreich" is the German word for the medieval Frankish Empire (of Charlemagne), not France or Nazi German-occupied France. The Armistice of 1940 divided France into occupied and unoccupied zones. "Vichy France" administered the whole (both), the administration was not divided, though in the occupied zone it was subject to the German military. The main reason for this odd result is that Germany wanted to deny France's big colonial empire to the Allies while preserving the nominal option of deploying troops to it. This required preservation of the French administration as Germany had no way of projecting power into that overseas empire (no way of doing it themselves) even after defeating France in Europe. The main short-term beneficiary was Japan, which of course could project power into Indochina, though invading Indochina beginning in September 1940 critically damaged Japan's already poor relationship with the United States. In May 1941, Germany proved unable to use French control of Syria to prevent Britain from quickly crushing the pro-Axis revolt in Iraq. Britain then immediately invaded Syria, and though France resisted strongly, Britain quickly took complete control and soon installed a Free French administration. In November 1942, the Allies landed in North Africa in Operation "Torch" and France resisted only weakly. Immediately what little reason remained Hitler to continue this arrangement totally disappeared and he decided to try to grab the French Mediterranean fleet. He then launched Case "Anton" to occupy of the whole, making Vichy France truly just a puppet state. France anticipated this, was prepared to fight the occupation at Toulon, and scuttled the fleet, rendering it useless to Germany.
Very detailed explaining!
You missed one thing though, Free France didn’t come from Syria although the Brits did install it there as well but some French under Charles De Gaulle in some colonies in Africa resisted Nazi occupation and started their Free French capital at Brazzaville! Later the Brits liberated Syria as it was a Vichy colony and the Germans could pour troops there to capture British oil colonies!
Very well presented and the soundtrack is pretty awesome, too!
9:10 only TH-camr that shows Finland being invaded by Germany during WW2
It's not really an invasion, the Germans were in Lapland since 1941. As part of Finlands peace with the Soviets they had to expel the Germans from their territory so the Germans fought against Finnish and Soviet troops while retreating to Norway.
Fact: Finland and Germany had a little secret ” deal ”, that the germans could retreat peacefully from Finland to Norway without any conflict between them. But then the soviets found about it and they had to push them out with force.
#EastoryWW21944/1945
Very good. Finaly someone put work in this things
This is the best for ww2 out there I've ever seen. You should try other conflict as well bro WW1 or the Pacific theater
I will eventually, don’t worry!
Pacific theatre would be cool man!
Also African theatre but oh shoot, there was minimal action in Africa as all their was was the pesky Italians in Egypt and losing their Central African colony and later Libyan colony and altogether the Vichy colonies!
Great video! Your channel is so underrated! Definitely a like from me.
Thanks dude!
@@nicoiannacone6464 No problem at all. Count me as a new viewer!

When will you make the remake version? I’m really excited.
I am working currently on a Battle of the Bulge documentary for the 75th anniversary, which I am aiming to have out by the 25th of January (but no promises). After that, I am not sure yet whether I will do a World War One and Aftermath video everyday (1914-1923) or the remake of World War Two, who knows, maybe I will try and do them both at the same time
@@nicoiannacone6464 Is this still happening?
So good! Thank you!
