If you’ve ever been to Korea in the winter, you know cold. In the worst moments of my time in combat I would think to the men of the Frozen Chosin. If they could handle that, I could handle whatever hardship I was facing. Those men’s sacrifices saved my life over 50 years later.
Wade McClusky's hunch involved deducing just where the Kido Butai might have gone and heading in that direction. This is how he and his dive bombers found the destroyer Arashi and followed her home to deliver what's been called the single deadliest and most decisive blow in naval history.
They were only three American carriers at Midway, the USS Enterprise, USS Yorktown, and the USS Hornet. Eventually all four Japanese carriers were sunk at sunk Midway.
@@timtheskeptic1147 and she almost made it home after being bombed twice. The first one was so effective that they thought the second one sunk Enterprise
I think its important to note that in the US Navy every sailor is a member of the damage control party this was not true for the Imperial Japanese Navy they had dedicated damage control teams this why often times you read about Japanese ships taking 1 to 2 hits to sink it was very lucky that the planes where rearming but it was also lucky that the first strike took out most of the damage control party.
3:30 this is a somewhat important nit-pick. There were three U.S. carriers plus the planes on Midway itself. One of the things about the battle of Midway is portrayed is that the USN won "against all odds." I mention it because one of the things the U.S. Navy had going against it was that the IJN had more carriers.
And the idea has been overturned and accepted as the odds being even or maybe more for the USN. Shattered sword certainly changed my thinking and how we for years underplayed the advantages the Americans had the deficiencies of the Japanese navy and the flaws in Japanese carrier doctrine in 1944. Go read shattered sword. But yes you’re right it was 3 to 4 carriers
i will never get over how the history of the entire world was changed because one ruler died and their successor was obsessed with the enemy leader. Truly stranger than fiction
Unfortunately, most information in books about world history isn't truthful. History is written by those who "won" wars, all while leaving out the evil things they did to win.
3:36 is that CVN-65? CVN-65 didn’t even exist till the early 1960s. You must be thinking of CV-6 which is also named enterprise, but unlike CVN-65, she did participate in the battle of midway.
US only had 3 carriers at Midway, not 4. Although Nimitz did look at Midway island itself as a 4th "unsinkable" carrier. Thanks to the code breakers ingenious "we are low on water" idea. We wiped the Japanese's ability to fight an offensive war for the remainder of the war.
@ within hours too. Thing I never understood was after coral sea why weren’t the Japanese like “wait a minute, how did they get so lucky as to be here for this?” But instead assumed their code was “superior” and couldn’t possibly be broken by the Americans. 🤦♂️
At the same time I now have my doubts about the story. Mithridates spending his whole life studying poisons and antidotes and then trying to end himself through poison? Sounds like something the Romans would say to make him look stupid,

Well done Simple History, well done. I find it fascinating how some seemingly meaningless slip-ups or misunderstandings or decisions can cause a chain of events that changed the course of history, fate truly works in misterious ways.
This is a neat video, but there's a few slip-ups: 1. First protests demanding reforms in GDR erupted in Lepzig, not in Berlin. 2. The Berlin wall was a layered array of barriers (fences, anti-vehicle ditches, anti-tank-barriers, anti-personnel barriers (minefields, tripwires w/ signal flares, watchdog patrol zones) watchtowers, bunkers and two walls on each side of the border strip. The westward wall made from cast concrete prefabs was usually referred to as "the wall".
My brother visited the wall a few weeks after it was breached. Enterprising vendors were selling pieces of it in plastic bags. I still have the pieces he gave me when he returned to the States. I keep them on display in that same plastic bag because I was told the concrete contains asbestos.
13:21 it’s highly likely he really was exposing himself. We have modern toxicology reports and vast scientific studies examining the styrian arsenic eaters proving low level habitual exposure can indeed build up an effective tolerance . His obsession actually wad a useful one 17:17 Peter III never stood a chance. While I think this twist belongs and don’t disagree at all as the focus is on the TIMING, I will say his overall pro Russian nature made this less about Frederick and more about his disdain for his own people according to a majority of scholars. He was already named presumptive heir and was reigning 5 months. Usually garbled to history is the nature of Peter. At best, he’d have some sort of spectrum disorder along with other violent tendencies. The latter being universally agreed upon. But the surviving accounts come from a less flattering Catherine of his “feeble-mindedness”. But I tend to think it’s between closer to Catherine’s side. Frederick after all spoke harshly of Peter even after the treaty and his subsequent “death” (likely murder) saying he was overthrow like “a child being put to bed”.
7:56 Not quite. While Berlin was defined as a part of the FDR by the FDR's constitution as well as by that of West Berlin, the Western allies had overruled this. Consequently, West Berlin continued to be a protectorate directly under the US, Britain and France.
Doing a video on battle of cuito cuanavale would be very interesting it was one of the biggest battles in Africa between the South African armed forces and Cuba / Angola its hardly covered at all on TH-cam which is sad.
The lucky strikes during the second world war where to many to count most people dont realize how xlose that war would have drug out if not for stupid luck .the fact we made history during Dday was another crazy story of luck not to take away from the brave men who stormed it but other factors where key
Damn that is so sad about Prussia and Russia losing their alliance all because the Russian nobles didn't like it. I thought it was sweet that the Russian king had admired Prussian Fredrick the Great. Peace is always great instead of war and I thought this was an endearing way to have peace. 😮💨😢
Get your facts straight only 3 U.S. carriers at Midway Enterprise, Hornet and Yorktown fought 4 Japanese carriers. One American carrier sank, the USS Yorktown.
Correction: there were ONLY THREE Allied carriers at Midway: Enterprise and Hornet (Task Force 16, Rear Admiral Raymond Spruance), and Yorktown (Task Force 17, Rear Admiral Frank Jack Fletcher). As per Wikipedia, combined Allied fleet consisted of 3 fleet carriers, 7 heavy cruisers, 1 light cruiser, 15 destroyers, 16 submarines, and 9 PT boats. Total air strength consisted of 233 carrier-based aircraft and 127 land-based aircraft. *Check your facts.*

Yep, good catch
Not to mention that USS Enterprise cvn65 is in the same timestamp is also weird.
Yep. All 3 Yorktown class carriers.
Also all four carriers were sunk the Hiryū did not survive. If you’re going to make history clips please get it right.
Id consider Midway island as a 4th carrier in this instance.
