Sears could have been just as great as any of the department stores online if they had just decided to upgrade and go online stores. Instead they neglected and by the time they realized it was too late.
Sears was founded as a catalog company. There was hundreds of small catalog stores. It would have been so easy to move to a online version of their famous mail order. Several other companies also, JC Whitney, JC Penney, Montgomery Wards. Etc.
A really great list! I only have one comment: at 9:19, you start the section about breechloaders during the civil war. You speak as though the Southerners had breechloaders while the Northerners did not. This is not the case. Most Southern forces had muskets, often handed down for generations. The South did not have the industry to create large-scale production numbers of such revolutionary technology, though they were the first to pioneer certain weapons (ironclads and submarines). The higher kill ratio in the beginning was because many Southern soldiers were familiar with their weapons and were good shots (that comes when you have to hunt for your food with the weapon you have), whereas the Northern forces were often draftees who were unfamiliar with their weapons. Usually outnumbered, outsupplied, but well-led, Southern forces were still able to push to within about 6 miles of Washington D.C. Fortunately, that's the closest they were able to get.
I heard that during the Vietnam War. The M-16s (Soldier's main weapon) were shipped over to the troops WITHOUT the FIRING PINs, Bullets. They were shipped separately. Rendering the weapon useless and many men dying because the Veit Cong caught the U.S. Soldiers unprepared and unarmed.
If remember correctly, it was actually due to a design flaw with the M-16's which caused the weapon to constantly jam in the middle of firefights where the enemy was only about 10-15ft away, so if your gun jammed during heavy contact, you were pretty much done. They (US military) eventually got it fixed, but not before a lot of soldiers and marines were killed because of it.
@@wavebye1Its sounds like to me that you have brought up another issue that the soldiers had to deal with in the battle theater upon all of the other issues that were going on that time. To much Government involvement, unpopular war from the populas. Quite a few items that never got taught to us kids in school. Thank you for your insight.👍😀
4:09 What’s funny is I never knew France occupied Vietnam (they never covered that in HS history). So, I went to dinner at this upscale restaurant in my city. Since it had a French name, I just assumed it was a French restaurant. When I got there, I was surprised to find it was upscale Vietnamese. The fact it was basically called Colonial should have been a hint.
13:47 I once heard that in addition to be reassigned to the RMS Olympic, David Blair had a secondary reason for leaving, his beloved cat was having kittens and he didn’t want to leave her in that state.
There were actually survivors of Japan Airlines Flight 123. Because there was such a delay between the crash and when rescue personnel arrived at the crash site, more people who had survived had died of exposure, leaving only 4 survivors.
Enjoyed this one. It is believed that the Jameson Raid which started the Boer War happened because a comma was either ignored or omitted from a telegramme and a command to defend if attacked was understood to mean attack unprovoked. The use of the worg "if" together with the comma disaster showed that correct grammar is a lotmore important than many people belie e. The New Zealand thing was probably due to the English contempt for the native population and their languages. Ask many Welsh, Scots and Irish about their contentious history and the term United Kingdom begins to sound like irony.
The real failure of the V2 rocket, was not only was the weapon late to the war, but that it was built by slave labour, who often sabotaged the rockets, when they could. So the first barrage of V2s on London, missed what they were aimed at, that is Central London and the Port of London, and hit the East London instead, because the guidance of the rockets was sabotaged. So building them using forced prisoner labour, was asking for failure.
And as I understand it they were always having a fuel shortage because they were using alcohol as a propellent and the Russian slave labor was drinking it.😂😂😂😂
I can add something to #13. The note handed to Hessian Colonel Johann Rall was written in English. Rall either didn't speak English, or didn't speak it well enough to understand the note, and he was too proud to admit it. That's why he laid the note aside. He had a chance to effectively end the American Revolution before the end of 1776, and he blew it.
10:37 A similar incident almost occurred un August 2001. An engine was replaced on an Airbus A330 but a missing hydrolic hose bracket causes the hose to touch a fuel line. The friction eventualy lead to a fuel leak. Look up Air Transat 236.
My family and i were in Berlin on the 9th November 1989 and got to witness the fall of the wall.. we were there celebrating my 7th birthday. It was one hell of a birthday. My parents have chunks of the wall somewhere in the loft 😂
To be fair, Tsar Nicholas II was desperate to find a cure for his son’s condition and Rasputin *preyed* on that desperation. There were also rumors that Tsarina Alexandra was having an affair with Rasputin. Not sure if that was true, but she seemed to be dependent on him.
Not everyone onboard Japan Airlines Flight 123 died, dozens of passengers initially survived the accident but died from their injuries in the hours while they were waiting for rescue. In the end, only 4 people survived.
Show business is full of enormous mistakes. One of the biggest ones, was when the Beach Boys started their own record company, they had the chance to sign the then-unknown Three Dog Night and turned them down. Another was when the famous song Sugar Sugar was supposed to be for the Monkees who didn't want it. Almost all of the TV networks turned down the Flintstones and the one that bought it, almost didn't want it, either. Everybody knows how Decca records turned down the Beatles. Oh yeah and when the Wright brothers tried to sell the airplane to the army, the army didn't want it.
Here is a fact The person who could of stopped the war from even happening is a priest who was walking past a river and witnessed a 4 year old boy struggling in the river jumping in and saving the boy from drowning Who was the boy Adolph Hitler
13:58 Why didn’t they just break the door open and get the binoculars? They probably didn’t think they needed them, considering the other warnings they ignored.
Misplaced decimal point also caused Hitler's government to expensively research mining gold from seawater; the decimal error changed "profitable" to "unprofitable". In the picture of George Washington, did you notice the white horse kicking a soldier in the nuts?
13:55 Titanic. I always thought the were people on lookout but failed to see anything because they were drunk. Now, this changes nothing, because it was dark, cold, cloudy, icy and the weather was playing havoc with people's minds. The sea was just a mass black of nothing, there was nothing for them to see.. You know, it is like walking around a totally blackout room with no light, you just keep going until you hit something.'
@@philiprice7875 Exactly. It’s not hard to take into account someone else might be using a different method - especially considering the US is one of the few nations that don’t use metric. I honestly thought that science mostly used metric except when it came to measuring temperature.
I hate it when people bring up Henry Tandey for sparing Hitler like it's his fault but people seem to forget that they also contributed to Hitler's rise to power and they want to play innocent here,it's pathetic
People tend to forget that Germany at that time viewed the consequences of World War I as deeply unfair and viewed Weimar as an illegitimate government. They also forget that Europe was extremely antisemitic at that time. If Adolf Hitler wasn't the one to install Nazi Germany, someone else would have because the systems in place have geared their society towards authoritarianism.
@@sargunkaur4606 I'm just saying the people who are woke as fuck are the same ones that will give Hitler power if he was reincarnated they will still give him power
Who? The people at The Lost 25? I seriously doubt it. Most of the people who helped Hitler rise to power are dead. Most of them died in the 1940s though certainly not all. Henry Tandy still let an enemy soldier live and that enemy soldier still went on to be responsible for millions of dead people. Is it his fault? Well it's easy to see how people could think so. Personally I can't get behind that. There was no way to know and besides I don't like the idea of condemning mercy.
Yet another (possible) Hitler story. In 1912 a Sunday painter from Manchester (lets call him Stephen) noticed another painter. He wandered over to chat, and realised that the other guy was foreign. Even so, Stephen managed to chat with him, and found out that he was visiting his brother and his wife in Liverpool. They got on, and Stephen noticed that the other painter was quite skilled, but a bit "woolly". Even so, Stephen thought the guy had a good chance of selling his paintings in England. He swapped addresses with the guy and offered to be his agent. Unfortunately, Stephen lost Adolf's (for it was he) address in Liverpool, and forgot all about it.... until Hitler started his rise to power Yes, Hitler could have been L.S. Lowry's painting partner and client. Now, you can take this with as big a pinch of salt as you like, but Stephen was almost certain that the painter he bumped into was Hitler. If things had been different, instead of Adolf Hitler, genocidal maniac, we could have had Adolf Hitler RA, KBE (honorary)!
this is a urban legend the story that hitler was in Liverpool has zero basis but it comes up once in a while. BUT what is true is the the 2 major Blitzs on Liverpool the last one was just before the germans redeployed to the East the last bomb landed on a house in Stanhope Street L8 and destroyed the house of Hitlers Nephew
My biggest mistake in life was choosing to go on a date with a Korean woman I met at a local coffee shop near Az State Uni. and not a Black woman a friend was trying to hook me up with. The Black woman went on to finish Medical School and runs a Medical company in AZ so I have been told. Korean girl dated for almost 2 yrs and for a year of that was costing me a lot of money (School, car payments, Rent etc...) while cheating on me with at least 2 guys from my hotel job.
And the man who Everyone thought was celebrating in the hose water atop the wall, actually would come back later and say he was getting a shower to wash himself off.
as a native American I can understand why the Maori don't really trust the English we were screwed by them for years and in 1830 we had a very long march to Oklahoma we didn't ask for ten years before the maroi deal and my tribe the Cherokee was definitely doing alot of crying in the 1830s..so I can understand the tears of my maori cousins
I was young living in NYC for four months. One day my (adopted) father sent me a plane ticket to fly back to San Francisco. I accepted. This despite my friend to whom I was living with at the time was helping me to obtain relief (welfare) in Brooklyn/ The course of my life ever since has turned into a HUGE nightmare! I should have torn up that ticket (if non-refundable) or tried to cash it in at JFK. My life just might have had a better course to follow!
sorry but i am quite an avgeek so i have to correct you, not ALL people abouard JAL 123 died, there were 524 souls onboard with 520 dead, so 4 survived
This title is the very definition of clickbait. If you had called this "25 mistakes and bad decisions in History" then sure. But you didn't. Be better.
Could you imagine the then owner of excite telling ppl today "yup I could have owned part of a trillion dollar company if not for...." Lol probably some homeless/nut story lol
Christopher Colombus called Native Americans the Indians because he stranded on the wrong continent. But once people back then figured out this was a mistake, they kept using the word anyway. Oops!
actually it never stopped. they have been doing it since their start. parts fail so often that the real numbers would make someone never fly again. it's not until it causes a crash or what fails is witnessed by the passengers that people are aware. whistle blowers that try and shed light on the real practice are silenced by hit men. many of our disasters in space travel and failures in war because of vehicles malfunctioning is due to Boeing who has been responsible for making our vehicles and parts for them for a very very long time.
The Treaty of Waitangi is problematic due to the maori language not having phrases (and concepts) that could be easily understood from English. But yea, I don't think the British govt of the day cared what the native language version said as they were going to ignore it anyway.
For British read English. They still don't understand the low (sometimes more than low) level resentment the "other" races in the UK feel toward them. Like all their colonies they took everything of value and left them bereft. In fact it can be localised even further to the Home Counties, which treat the north and west in the same contemptuous way.
But had they sent rescuers right away, there would have been 20-50 survivors. The American military had been monitoring the distress calls and located the crash site right away. It was a Japanese pilot who flew to the location and announced there weren’t any survivors, so there was no point in rescue. The Americans even offered to help with the effort and the Japanese declined.
Came here to say this. Also of note, one of the casualties was Kyũ Sakamoto, who was a Japanese pop star whose hits included "Ue No Sariko", released under the moniker "Sukiyaki" in most Western countries, in 1963.
Hannibal crossing the Alps was one of the most amazing things that happened in ancient warfare. The simple fact that he made it across the Alps at the beginning of winter was a phenomenal feat. Yes he lost 30 to 40% of his army but he still made it across with a large enough army to convince the gulls that were in Northern Italy to join his team further strengthening his army. When he went to go fight Scipio the first at the Battle of tancino he totally kicked their ass and then he kicked their ass again at the Battle of tetsano lake and then he kicked their ass completely almost wiping out the entire Roman army at the Battle of canae. I do believe that you need to get your history a little bit better than from somebody who's just trying to make a short video. The only reason why Hannibal ended up losing the war was because Scipio the first son skipio the second attacked Carthage itself and he had to retreat home

You included Excite not buying Google but left out Blockbuster not buying Netflix. I’d almost say the Netflix buy is almost a bigger deal.
In both cases it is as likely, if not more so, that they would not have built those companies into what they are now.

Enjoyed this one. It is believed that the Jameson Raid which started the Boer War happened because a comma was either ignored or omitted from a telegramme and a command to defend if attacked was understood to mean attack unprovoked.

And all this time I thought David hasselhoff what's the one that brought down the Berlin Wall
The real failure of the V2 rocket, was not only was the weapon late to the war, but that it was built by slave labour, who often sabotaged the rockets, when they could. So the first barrage of V2s on London, missed what they were aimed at, that is Central London and the Port of London, and hit the East London instead, because the guidance of the rockets was sabotaged. So building them using forced prisoner labour, was asking for failure.
And as I understand it they were always having a fuel shortage because they were using alcohol as a propellent and the Russian slave labor was drinking it.😂😂😂😂
also, london leaked the wrong areas hit by v-bombs to the germans. tricking the germans to change guidence on future attacks.

This title is the very definition of clickbait. If you had called this "25 mistakes and bad decisions in History" then sure. But you didn't.
Be better.
Could you imagine the then owner of excite telling ppl today "yup I could have owned part of a trillion dollar company if not for...." Lol probably some homeless/nut story lol
Too many kids….😅
Christopher Colombus called Native Americans the Indians because he stranded on the wrong continent. But once people back then figured out this was a mistake, they kept using the word anyway. Oops!
My mistake was falling for an actor! He was gay and wanted everyone to think he was straight..
Let's hope that Biden stepping back is not #26.
Unfortunately Boeing seems to have forgotten all the problems with their planes.
actually it never stopped. they have been doing it since their start. parts fail so often that the real numbers would make someone never fly again. it's not until it causes a crash or what fails is witnessed by the passengers that people are aware. whistle blowers that try and shed light on the real practice are silenced by hit men. many of our disasters in space travel and failures in war because of vehicles malfunctioning is due to Boeing who has been responsible for making our vehicles and parts for them for a very very long time.
Joe Biden didn’t make the list?
Dislike for the most misleading video title in all of history.
The biggest mistake is being born.
being born poor with average looks and intelligence for me
Getting married for the second time.
The soviets won ww2 though... so d day really did nothing...
The Treaty of Waitangi is problematic due to the maori language not having phrases (and concepts) that could be easily understood from English. But yea, I don't think the British govt of the day cared what the native language version said as they were going to ignore it anyway.
For British read English. They still don't understand the low (sometimes more than low) level resentment the "other" races in the UK feel toward them. Like all their colonies they took everything of value and left them bereft. In fact it can be localised even further to the Home Counties, which treat the north and west in the same contemptuous way.
Another great video and love the shirt

JAL123 had 4 survivors. 520 died.
Love your videos 😊
I thought there were a few survivors. Was it made a film?
But had they sent rescuers right away, there would have been 20-50 survivors. The American military had been monitoring the distress calls and located the crash site right away. It was a Japanese pilot who flew to the location and announced there weren’t any survivors, so there was no point in rescue. The Americans even offered to help with the effort and the Japanese declined.
Came here to say this. Also of note, one of the casualties was Kyũ Sakamoto, who was a Japanese pop star whose hits included "Ue No Sariko", released under the moniker "Sukiyaki" in most Western countries, in 1963.
This may sound trite, but, I should have divorced my now ex husband eight years before I did.
Why not say you should have married someone else, or no one?
Well done on Maori pronunciation
Hannibal crossing the Alps was one of the most amazing things that happened in ancient warfare. The simple fact that he made it across the Alps at the beginning of winter was a phenomenal feat. Yes he lost 30 to 40% of his army but he still made it across with a large enough army to convince the gulls that were in Northern Italy to join his team further strengthening his army. When he went to go fight Scipio the first at the Battle of tancino he totally kicked their ass and then he kicked their ass again at the Battle of tetsano lake and then he kicked their ass completely almost wiping out the entire Roman army at the Battle of canae. I do believe that you need to get your history a little bit better than from somebody who's just trying to make a short video. The only reason why Hannibal ended up losing the war was because Scipio the first son skipio the second attacked Carthage itself and he had to retreat home

Love your lists!
