When I was young and first started to learn about war and military history across multiple conflicts I've always had this urge and this sense to learn as much as possible from the victories and defeats of many battles from ancient Rome to nazi Germany to the USSR, America etc. I don't know where it comes from but I feel it necessary to learn how wars are fought and more importantly how war evolves.

Yeah, you can destroy the entire government's ability to wage war against you, but if you don't know how to keep the peace, (Or kill off/ enslave so many people the nation you fought against basically no longer exist. Or use heavy indoctrination so the desire to raise arms against you does not exist anymore.) the first war won could become a second future war in years or even decades or an insurgency that will never end. Also you need to make sure your other rivals do not get involved. Otherwise, THEY will help build up the people you just crushed and use them as a proxy enemy against you.

Morale...morale and the will to fight. If you can break the enemies will to fight and evaporate their morale. They will quickly fall to an enemy force.
@@QualityPen wars are NEVER profitable in the sense that you are always losing material, time and lives. I'd say the most profitable form of combat is to not fire a single bullet. No lives lost, no material spent, no need for reconstruction. Ironic, isnt it. Combat is always done for political or for short sighted gains.
You learn more from failure than you do from success. The late Tom Clancy had a book on leadership in the First Gulf War. It's called Into the Storm. It's a good book and had an introduction written by General Fred Franks.
I think your point about flexibility is not thought of very much, but is incredibly important. The strongest human doesn't survive. The one that adapts does.
I studied alot battles of ww2. It's amazing how little things, sometimes just luck, good or bad, changes the war drastically. Hitler was sleeping on D Day. And he was in control the panzer divisions. Orders were to not wake him. Who knows what may have changed if Hitler was awake and sent his tanks immediately.

When stating "the largest army is useless if you can't get them food and ammunition" you showed an MRE and no extra boxes of crayons. 0/10 for accuracy.
Not starting a war is the best way to win. Nowadays most countries are trying to avoid conflicts and by the same token many nations are arming themselves accordingly.
You bearly touched upon an important point. Winning a war is actually easy for a much strong force going against a weaker force. The problem, and expensive part, is what happens after the war. When destroying the infrastructure, this will need to be rebuilt after the war. When the head of state is the military leader, the religious leader, and political leader, removing them creates a power vacuum. (There are so many examples, but I am trying to limit to 10 lines and not 10 chapters.)
"The war is not meant to be won, it is meant to be continuous. Hierarchical society is only possible on the basis of poverty and ignorance. This new version is the past and no different past can ever have existed. In principle the war effort is always planned to keep society on the brink of starvation. The war is waged by the ruling group against its own subjects and its object is not the victory over either Eurasia or East Asia, but to keep the very structure of society intact." George Orwell, 1984.
My opinion about subject is as follows: First of all, always try to avoid war at all costs, but if it is not avoidable do the following. Try to keep war as short as possible even if that means to limit your objectives. Try to deal maximum damage in shortest amount of time. Fight on enemies territory and avoid your own. Limit your objectives to only practically achievable ones. Do not conquer land or go in to control large population centers with hostile population. Do not try to destroy enemy completely, aim at damaging them hard enough and let "gravity" do the rest. Whenever possible and as much as possible use proxies and not your own forces.
War was never cheap, but for long time in history was rewarding. Instead of making your own things, you just take from others, who while bussy makeing those things can not prepare to fight so much as you.
Depending upon the country's size, power and resources war tactics may be different. For example Nazi Germany defeated France, Belgium, Netherlands, Poland with their "Blitzkrieg" techniques and got unbelievable success in conquering Soviet union at the initial stages but later Soviets not only defended their country successfully but invaded the Germany and captured Berlin also. So I think only army generals know the answer to the question " How to win a war?" and that answers differs greatly with respect to the conditions.
I think that the most recent asymetric wars show that our rules of engagement (some written more than 100 years ago) are preventing modern armies from winning these wars.
A Conflict and a War are not the same. In a war the US has women building tanks ships and Jets in factories that once made ,car and washer and dryers .Public traffic has stopped because all fuel goes to the war effort not cars. You can not buy a Iphone because Apple makes Apple grenades now. In a Conflict like Vietnam , Afghanistan and Iraq , people go about their lives wondering when the PS5 or Iphone 12 will come out.
War is about attrition not skill it's just math . If the other side can build more quicker they will win. Example.) It did not matter if 1 German Tiger tank can kill 5 enemy tanks as long as the enemy built 6 tanks for every 1 tiger tank.
_'Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it.'_ Hitler vows to not make the same mistake as Napoleon and ends up making the same mistake... Russian winter was not the only factor in Operation Barbarossa's failure
Oh, that's easy. You spawn peek everyone on the enemy team. If you have somehow failed to do this and they've planted the defuser you have to make sure you have enough time to counter-defuse after you brutally murder every last one of them. Or this was a Rainbow 6 Siege match? Either way, kill everyone it usually works out.
Too bad the american politions caved in all wars since ww2,and did not follow your advice.maybe they would have followed your advice if only those damn siutcases full of money did not get in the way of objective of first winning the warn Iraq and Afghanistan
"You don't win a war dying for your country. You win by making the other guy - die for his." Tsung Tsue. lol (actually, not sure who came up with the phrase. But I keep that in mind at all times. Because a trained soldier is your greatest battlefield asset. "Trained" being the operative word. From pilots to infantry).
Next, "How to win the peace". We've gotten incredibly skilled at blowing shit up, but not so much how to completely win. Just a thought, Godspeed. note: (I wrote that before this began).
Unfortunately, winning the peace isn't very exciting, and thus does not get the same kinds of resources. Even worse, it messes with the worldview of the people who tend to push for war in the first place, so trying to win the peace makes you a political enemy of the people who take credit for winning the war.
Winning the peace means having the willingness before you go to war to actually win it, and not get squeamish about what must be done. We could win the war in Afghanistan in a week, and make that country peaceful for a thousand years, but does anyone in Washington, D.C. have the stomach to do so? We were able to win so decisively in Syria because there were no CNN reporters spreading demoralizing reports to the American people and asking uncomfortable questions of politicians. Soldiers aren't peacekeepers, they're warfighters. Let them off their political leash, keep the un-American press out of the theater, and we'll see plenty of decisive victories again everywhere, for far cheaper, and it will discourage future wars by making everyone too scared of war to wage it again. Making distinctions between enemy fighters and the populations that harbor them and being concerned about collateral damage only stretches wars out for many years and results in far more civilian deaths in the long run.
@Juan Sanchez when Japan surrendered they still had over 4 million men at arms in the field. So they had plenty of fight left in them. In fact they kept fighting the Soviets for 3 weeks after they surrendered. The Soviets kept on attacking them. The last Japanese soldier finally surrendered in 1974 almost 30 years after the war was over.
Thus we may know that there are five essentials for victory: 1 He will win who knows when to fight and when not to fight. 2 He will win who knows how to handle both superior and inferior forces. 3 He will win whose army is animated by the same spirit throughout all its ranks. 4 He will win who, prepared himself, waits to take the enemy unprepared. 5 He will win who has military capacity and is not interfered with by the sovereign. -Sun Tzu "The Art of War"
You forgot the most important bit: They enemy gets a say in ending the war; no war can be over without convincing the enemy to stop fighting, the get a say in too...
First you need to disconnect people (Politicians etc.), who have absolutely no idea what they are involved with, from war as much as possible. Iraq & Afghanistan are both huge political failures. And in all of "Blufor" the politics played by their governments have costed at least hundreds of soldier's lives.
If we look at a few modern wars, we see why they were successful or not. Gulf War: The objective was always to force Sadam to leave Kuwait. But some people wanted to kill him and demilitarized/puppet Iraq under the US or another power. Bush Snr was smart here, because he knew that they had no one to replace him, a power vacuum would open and the situation would get worse. So he left the military and government intact, just forced them to leave. Iraq: The objective was to remove Sadam and find his WMDs (which I still doubt to this day ever existed). The issue was, they had no one to replace Sadam and hadn't thought through what the aftermath would be. Hence the rise of ISIS, the war they continue to fight now, etc. Although militarily a victory, the war isn't over nor was it won. Korean War: The objective was to push back North Korea over the border and force them to surrender. This changed early on to removing North Korea and unification under MacArthur. This war stalemated, because they dragged in China, instead of just forcing North Korea to surrender or starving them out. East Timor: The East Timor Crisis was a very small war, but a good example of a war done well. The objective was to end the Crisis and allow East Timor independence. They defeated the Pro-Indonesian forces and then did what they needed to do: Ensure the situation was stable. Unlike the initial Iraq pull out by Obama, Australia didn't leave East Timor until they were certain the country could look after itself and the fighting was at a level the local forces could deal with. In Iraq, they left a poorly trained, but well equipped military behind that couldn't handle ISIS.
If you like military stuff you can find a lot of information. I have writen a 50 pages thesis on the military industrial complex of the European Union. To do so i read a lot of books and scientific articles on many subjects. There are nice books just like Sun Tzu by Kevin Alexander or Counterinsurgency Warfare by David Galula.
@@mikaxms , YEAH WELL THIS CHANNEL TOUCHES ON THE MILITARY SIDE OF WARFARE AND STAY AWAY FROM THE POLITICAL SIDE OF IT . IT'S BETTER THAT WAY. YOU ARE JUST TRYING TO STIR RESPONSES UNRELATED TO WEAPONS AND/OR TACTICS
Logistically, your idea is fantastic. A video on why the USA is the world’s policeman and why other nations aren’t (or which nations could conceivably replace the USA) is a interesting idea.
Italy never switched sides on either World War. Their participation in the Entente during WW1 was legal, as the Central Powers was never a mutual defense pact or alliance. They "switched sides" in WW2 after a revolution that ended the original government led by Mussolini
idk where it starts exactly cos I just got the idea when the example ended. It's also fictional but whatever. The lack of effective screening and formation explained around 6:40 to 7:30 -ish is exactly why the Battle of D'qar left the Resistance so dead in the water. They, obviously, had more than enough firepower. The T wings are immensely overpowered offensively speaking, but they couldn't jam enemy defenses, screen fighters, have an effective plan or various other micro-tactical positions. Maybe its the writer and SW nerd in me but that part just connected some dots for me.

Amazing the fact that you used so many Brazilian military images.
They are the perfect example of a military who can be easily overcome by foreigns without waging a war.

Book on Lessons Learned from Iraq War - Lesson 1: don't go to war with Iraq.
Or you know... dont go to war. Because there is never a material benefit in going to war. Political though... very much
Why? So nice we did it twice
@@QualityPen wars are NEVER profitable in the sense that you are always losing material, time and lives. I'd say the most profitable form of combat is to not fire a single bullet. No lives lost, no material spent, no need for reconstruction. Ironic, isnt it. Combat is always done for political or for short sighted gains.
lesson 2:
if you're germany, do not try to fight every fucking country in the world
Lesson 3: never invade America for the same reasons that you don't go to war with Iraq- even two year old's can pull a trigger.
You learn more from failure than you do from success. The late Tom Clancy had a book on leadership in the First Gulf War. It's called Into the Storm. It's a good book and had an introduction written by General Fred Franks.
"Capturing an army our city intact, is better than destroying it all"
-Sun Tzu
I think your point about flexibility is not thought of very much, but is incredibly important. The strongest human doesn't survive. The one that adapts does.
I studied alot battles of ww2. It's amazing how little things, sometimes just luck, good or bad, changes the war drastically.
Hitler was sleeping on D Day. And he was in control the panzer divisions. Orders were to not wake him. Who knows what may have changed if Hitler was awake and sent his tanks immediately.
I love the strategic aspects of war. Not only on the strategies commanded upon the battlefield, but also the political and psychological strategies. From the ability to inspire a nearly defeated army with belief and purpose, enough to turn the tides, to the ability to invoke fear, and doubt in ones enemy, at just the right time, and in just the right way. The brilliantly orchestrate military strategy planned and the timely synchronized execution on the battlefield, including the "on the fly", real time, reactive modifications to defend, to trick, out wit, out maneuver, or psych out to demoralize one's foe. Sometimes, they'll even spread rumors about the enemy leader, (prior to declaring war), which correspond to possible doubts already present in the minds of his enemies soldiers about their leader. Alliances, marriages, vassals, spies, secrecy, successfully sniffing out traitors, etc, etc. The bravery, the fear, pain, suffering, inspiration, doubts, resilience, sacrifice, death, and destruction. Not to mention the absolutely astonishing logistics required, (economic, morale, food, water, weather, equipment, resources, deployment, etc) in order to even get the chance to orchestrate it all, and carry out their strategic game plan. There are so many moving parts. When it's all put together, it's like a glorious artistic symphony. A masterpiece
Nice video!

Not starting a war is the best way to win. Nowadays most countries are trying to avoid conflicts and by the same token many nations are arming themselves accordingly.
"A strange game. The only winning move is not to play."
I think this should become a series. This felt more like an introduction than a whole video
You bearly touched upon an important point. Winning a war is actually easy for a much strong force going against a weaker force. The problem, and expensive part, is what happens after the war.
When destroying the infrastructure, this will need to be rebuilt after the war.
When the head of state is the military leader, the religious leader, and political leader, removing them creates a power vacuum. (There are so many examples, but I am trying to limit to 10 lines and not 10 chapters.)
Wars are won before they begin.
Unfortunate but true.
How to win a war?
"See that big red button"
"push that"
"The war is not meant to be won, it is meant to be continuous. Hierarchical society is only possible on the basis of poverty and ignorance. This new version is the past and no different past can ever have existed. In principle the war effort is always planned to keep society on the brink of starvation. The war is waged by the ruling group against its own subjects and its object is not the victory over either Eurasia or East Asia, but to keep the very structure of society intact."
George Orwell, 1984.
That's on the 1984's war merhods though
My opinion about subject is as follows:
First of all, always try to avoid war at all costs, but if it is not avoidable do the following.
Try to keep war as short as possible even if that means to limit your objectives.
Try to deal maximum damage in shortest amount of time.
Fight on enemies territory and avoid your own.
Limit your objectives to only practically achievable ones.
Do not conquer land or go in to control large population centers with hostile population.
Do not try to destroy enemy completely, aim at damaging them hard enough and let "gravity" do the rest.
Whenever possible and as much as possible use proxies and not your own forces.

THE MOST PERTAINENT QUESTION:
*When was WAR, **_EVER_** , cheap?*
War was never cheap, but for long time in history was rewarding. Instead of making your own things, you just take from others, who while bussy makeing those things can not prepare to fight so much as you.
1. Define what winning consists of.
2. Don’t pick the wrong enemy or the wrong allies.
3. Go all in and direct all resources toward the war.

A comprehensive 10 hour video about war would require both Sun-Tzu and Bismarck coming back to life and then collaborating on the project...
Me before: This looks interesting
Me after: *WORLD DOMINATION*
Depending upon the country's size, power and resources war tactics may be different. For example Nazi Germany defeated France, Belgium, Netherlands, Poland with their "Blitzkrieg" techniques and got unbelievable success in conquering Soviet union at the initial stages but later Soviets not only defended their country successfully but invaded the Germany and captured Berlin also. So I think only army generals know the answer to the question " How to win a war?" and that answers differs greatly with respect to the conditions.
Even they dont know all the time.
Will come in useful later, thanks.
I think that the most recent asymetric wars show that our rules of engagement (some written more than 100 years ago) are preventing modern armies from winning these wars.
A Conflict and a War are not the same.
In a war the US has women building tanks ships and Jets in factories that once made ,car and washer and dryers .Public traffic has stopped because all fuel goes to the war effort not cars. You can not buy a Iphone because Apple makes Apple grenades now.
In a Conflict like Vietnam , Afghanistan and Iraq , people go about their lives wondering when the PS5 or Iphone 12 will come out.
War is about attrition not skill it's just math . If the other side can build more quicker they will win.
Example.) It did not matter if 1 German Tiger tank can kill 5 enemy tanks as long as the enemy built 6 tanks for every 1 tiger tank.
Finally the information i needed
Please make the 10 hour breakdown video!!!
one does not win a war, one simply loses less

If war is that easy, every country win
Oh, that's easy. You spawn peek everyone on the enemy team. If you have somehow failed to do this and they've planted the defuser you have to make sure you have enough time to counter-defuse after you brutally murder every last one of them.
Or this was a Rainbow 6 Siege match? Either way, kill everyone it usually works out.

War won.
Too bad the american politions caved in all wars since ww2,and did not follow your advice.maybe they would have followed your advice if only those damn siutcases full of money did not get in the way of objective of first winning the warn Iraq and Afghanistan
"You don't win a war dying for your country. You win by making the other guy - die for his." Tsung Tsue. lol (actually, not sure who came up with the phrase. But I keep that in mind at all times. Because a trained soldier is your greatest battlefield asset. "Trained" being the operative word. From pilots to infantry).
Please talk about China Unrestricted warfare.
most vital point is to win the moral victory from the perspective of neutrals - or else you are just the villain in the next war
Next, "How to win the peace". We've gotten incredibly skilled at blowing shit up, but not so much how to completely win. Just a thought, Godspeed. note: (I wrote that before this began).
Unfortunately, winning the peace isn't very exciting, and thus does not get the same kinds of resources. Even worse, it messes with the worldview of the people who tend to push for war in the first place, so trying to win the peace makes you a political enemy of the people who take credit for winning the war.
Winning the peace means having the willingness before you go to war to actually win it, and not get squeamish about what must be done. We could win the war in Afghanistan in a week, and make that country peaceful for a thousand years, but does anyone in Washington, D.C. have the stomach to do so? We were able to win so decisively in Syria because there were no CNN reporters spreading demoralizing reports to the American people and asking uncomfortable questions of politicians.
Soldiers aren't peacekeepers, they're warfighters. Let them off their political leash, keep the un-American press out of the theater, and we'll see plenty of decisive victories again everywhere, for far cheaper, and it will discourage future wars by making everyone too scared of war to wage it again.
Making distinctions between enemy fighters and the populations that harbor them and being concerned about collateral damage only stretches wars out for many years and results in far more civilian deaths in the long run.
@@neeneko True story
@Juan Sanchez WE?
You mean Soviets, right?
Anyway. Plan Marshall
@Juan Sanchez when Japan surrendered they still had over 4 million men at arms in the field. So they had plenty of fight left in them. In fact they kept fighting the Soviets for 3 weeks after they surrendered. The Soviets kept on attacking them. The last Japanese soldier finally surrendered in 1974 almost 30 years after the war was over.
Now I know how Battles can be won
I don't need you (Military Tactician)
Would you like to know more?
Thus we may know that there are five essentials for victory:
1 He will win who knows when to fight and when not to fight.
2 He will win who knows how to handle both superior and inferior forces.
3 He will win whose army is animated by the same spirit throughout all its ranks.
4 He will win who, prepared himself, waits to take the enemy unprepared.
5 He will win who has military capacity and is not interfered with by the sovereign.
-Sun Tzu "The Art of War"
Not start one in the first place. A defensive war is more likely to be won whatever the odds are.
You forgot the most important bit:
They enemy gets a say in ending the war; no war can be over without convincing the enemy to stop fighting, the get a say in too...
Unless you wipe out your enemy to dust that is...
@@AbcdEfgh-sq2tf which is far less practical, but yeah, that could also work
First you need to disconnect people (Politicians etc.), who have absolutely no idea what they are involved with, from war as much as possible.
Iraq & Afghanistan are both huge political failures. And in all of "Blufor" the politics played by their governments have costed at least hundreds of soldier's lives.
If we look at a few modern wars, we see why they were successful or not.
Gulf War: The objective was always to force Sadam to leave Kuwait. But some people wanted to kill him and demilitarized/puppet Iraq under the US or another power. Bush Snr was smart here, because he knew that they had no one to replace him, a power vacuum would open and the situation would get worse. So he left the military and government intact, just forced them to leave.
Iraq: The objective was to remove Sadam and find his WMDs (which I still doubt to this day ever existed). The issue was, they had no one to replace Sadam and hadn't thought through what the aftermath would be. Hence the rise of ISIS, the war they continue to fight now, etc. Although militarily a victory, the war isn't over nor was it won.
Korean War: The objective was to push back North Korea over the border and force them to surrender. This changed early on to removing North Korea and unification under MacArthur. This war stalemated, because they dragged in China, instead of just forcing North Korea to surrender or starving them out.
East Timor: The East Timor Crisis was a very small war, but a good example of a war done well. The objective was to end the Crisis and allow East Timor independence. They defeated the Pro-Indonesian forces and then did what they needed to do: Ensure the situation was stable. Unlike the initial Iraq pull out by Obama, Australia didn't leave East Timor until they were certain the country could look after itself and the fighting was at a level the local forces could deal with. In Iraq, they left a poorly trained, but well equipped military behind that couldn't handle ISIS.

If you like military stuff you can find a lot of information. I have writen a 50 pages thesis on the military industrial complex of the European Union.

How to win a war
Step 1 : switch sides
(🇮🇹)
Italy never switched sides on either World War. Their participation in the Entente during WW1 was legal, as the Central Powers was never a mutual defense pact or alliance. They "switched sides" in WW2 after a revolution that ended the original government led by Mussolini
idk where it starts exactly cos I just got the idea when the example ended.
It's also fictional but whatever.
The lack of effective screening and formation explained around 6:40 to 7:30 -ish is exactly why the Battle of D'qar left the Resistance so dead in the water. They, obviously, had more than enough firepower. The T wings are immensely overpowered offensively speaking, but they couldn't jam enemy defenses, screen fighters, have an effective plan or various other micro-tactical positions.
Maybe its the writer and SW nerd in me but that part just connected some dots for me.
