Imagine you got so angry at some farmer who grew up hunting in a forest and was just camping your guys so you decide to waist hundereds of thousands of dollars blowing up an entire forest just to hit the guy hoping to kill him and just make him get some battle scars
No one ever talks about Sgt Alvin York anymore. He was seemingly bulletproof. For someone who received a huge amount of fanfare when he returned home he sure got forgotten easily.
Totally underrated these days. Sgt. York was foremost a pacifist and only went to war because he had to. While he was picking off German soldiers (ultimately killing 25), he kept on asking them to surrender so he wouldn't have to kill them, and took over 100 prisoner, singlehandedly. He wasn't motivated by revenge or even wanting to save his own life, but by wanting to protect his fellow soldiers. Even the Right Whale, with the largest testicles in the animal kingdom, couldn't hold a candle to him.
Quick correction to the deal that ended Ching Shih's reign as pirate queen: The man she talked to was an official appointed by the Emperor to deal with her named Bai Ling, and it was *her,* not the government, that set those terms.
Somewhere in the unknown cosmos there is the soul of a caveman who fought off 8 saber tooths, 5 cave bears, 3 mammoths and an enemy tribe... and he's pissed he wasn't on this list.
The only reason they were annihilated at Thermopayleas is because a traitor lead the Persians through a pass in the mountains to attack from both sides. Leonora’s then ordered most of his men to escape while they could.
@@roshanrajgowda Ah yes, i watch One Piece, their bounty is higher ngl, it costs like millions or billions to get everybody in the bounty list of his crew.
It is important to notice that Alexander the Great's lands were going through turmoil. After losing the eastern lands and giving his daughter to Chaudagupta to ensure peace Seleucus was able to obtain 500 war elephants that would serve him well during the battle of Ipsus by scaring the cavalry that was supposed to flank him and then leading his own cavalry behind the phalanx causing a mass defection of the enemy mercenaries. So in the end they both got what they wanted.
Simo Häyhä had 505 confirmed kills on rifle only. He also had 300 confirmed kills with submachinegun, making his total killcount up to 800. And those are 100% confirmed kills. Some sources suggests his total (unconfirmed) killcount may be even up to 1200 as he was mostly acting solo.. And all this in just three months.
Chankaya didn't destroy Nanda dynasty because they made fun of him. Alexander was quickly approaching India from Kandahar region. Alexander would've conquered India one way or the other. Chanakya went to meet Dhana Nanda in his court to urge the king to make alliances with other smaller Indian kingdoms to stop Alexander. But Nanda king insulted him and threw him out of the court. Nanda king was a tyrant, and he had to be dethroned. That's when Chanakya vowed to destroy Nanda and end his tyranny. Chanakya was a genius war strategist, one of the most intellectual persons in all of Aryavarta. He found a gem of a person in Chandragupta, and he along with Chandragupta went on to create the first united(Akhanda) empire in India
If a part two comes out, I'd love to see napoleon and other amazing rulers like him, just such a upset that they weren't included here, I'd love to see more of this! :D
Wonderful video. I am extremely appreciative that this seems to be one of the few TH-cam channels to carefully type out and synchronize their own closed captioning. I often have to watch videos silently, so it’s a real credit to Be Amazed that they use proper spelling, capitalization, and punctuation, rather than trusting the automatic captions that so often butcher proper names and unfamiliar words. Again, thank you for an under appreciated job well done!
I Agree, I was surprised when he didn't include Khalid bin Alwaleed who took down the Persian empire and he entered in the heart of Rome and he took back the North Middle Eastern land from the Roman Empire, and he said a quote "We love death like you love life"
If you are considering a part - II, it would be great to see the Maratha emperor Chhatrapati Shivaji. He was up against the Mughal empire, and won several important battles and is also known as the father of the Indian Navy.
As a Brit I'm proud of our country's association with the Ghurka people. Their fighting prowess is legendary and their loyalty is unshakeable. They deserve far better treatment from the British Government than they currently receive.
If you plan to do a Part 2, another great warrior to add would be Yi Sun-shin (or Admiral Yi). He was a Korean born around April 28, 1545. He fought against the Japanese when they tried to invade China through Korea after Korea didn't let Japanese soldiers go through them when they wanted to conquer China. He fought against unbelievable odds as an Admiral and never lost a single ship. He was such a formidable force and sunk so many Japanese ships, that he saved Korea and put the Japanese on the defensive because of stretched supply lines. He would later be let go because he refused an order to go into an obvious Japanese trap, but was later given the role back after his replacement fell into a similar trap and lost nearly all of their ships. I can't put every detail in here or it would be a mile long, but Extra Credits made great videos about this.
Galvarino, a Mapuche warrior, had his hands chopped off in part of Spanish leader, Governor Garcia Hurtado de Mendoza who ordered his troops to do so. Instead of giving up Galvarino attached knives to his stubs and used them in a major battle known as The Battle of Millarupe. He and his fellow Mapuche tribe were captured but he never gave up. Nobody knows his true reason of death though.
I say this as a person who knows the history of Persia. For the first time, I heard the story/history of Leonardis close to the truth, Thank you "BE AMAZED" for that. At the end of that conflict, They lost to the Persian army and for a few years, the Greeks had to annually pay compensation to the Persian empire. At that time, most historians were Greeks and wrote history to keep the dignity of Greece intact. Basically, they twisted the historical facts a little.
Leonidas was sided with Athenians at the hot gates, but they deserted by and large leaving the Spartans to themselves on the last day of the battle, when they found out they had been betrayed. Such an inspirational tale and incidentally leonidas' general Thamistocles (possibly misspelled) ran from Marathon to warn the Spartan leaders of the impending invasion which was 26 miles and is the root of the term Marathon that we run today! Love the story of Leonidas and his personal guard.
No. Leonidas himself dismissed the rest of the Greek army. 700 Thespians refused to leave, and some accounts report that Leonidas kept 900 helots (Spartan slaves), and that some Thebans also remained. All were killed, except the Thebans, who reportedly surrendered. At a minimum, the last stand was made by 1,000 men, and possibly by 2,300. Leonidas both expected and intended to die at Thermopylae, due to a divination by an oracle. No one deserted. The story of the origin of the Marathon is about Philippides, an Athenian, who ran from the site of the battle of Marathon, where the Athenians had defeated a Persian land army, to Athens, to warn the largely defenseless city (all fighting men being at Marathon) of an impending attack by the Persian fleet. He died from exhaustion shortly after arriving, and before he had warned the city. It all worked out, in the end, though. Personally, I've taken the moral of the story to be "never run a marathon", and, so far, so good.
the story of Marathon is a bit different. There was another battle between the Greecs and Persians, and a warrior ran after the battle was ended just to let the people know then had won, and these were his final words, as he collapsed and died. And the name of that man was Pheidippides. That was the battle at Marathon
If you decide to make a part two to this video, I would like to suggest Ben L. Saloman, an American dentist who was assigned to the front lines of WWII to replace a wounded surgeon. When some Japanese soldiers killed a man he had just saved, he took up a machine gun and killed nearly 100 enemy soldiers. He is one of only three dentists to ever receive the Medal of Honor.
It wasn't directly on the front lines. Saloman (not sure on the spelling) was defending a forward field hospital/command camp after basically all the brass and combat trained units got killed in the initial attack. He held out for a long time to make sure his patients could be evacuated. I only heard the story once, and a long time ago; only trying to fill a few holes in what you said. Edit: Something about the rules of warfare (which I cannot claim to know) made that camp less likely to be attacked, thus it only had a skeleton crew protecting it, thus why our dentist had to show his badassery.
Actually, Gurkha Chad used a bolt-action rifle than a submachine-gun or a machine-gun. Bolt-action rifles must used with two hands, one hand holds the rifle steady while the other one reloads, shoots and operate the bolt mechanism. So this was an amazing feat back in the day.
Part 2 please. Add Khalid ibn al-Walid, the greatest warrior in Islam or the greatest general ever lived. He never got defeated once,i need to research just in case. If I'm not mistaken, he actually want to die in war but he cried when he can't die at war (edit) He fight over 115 battles. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) even called Khalid as Sword of Allah(God). He died at old age. He wasn't always a Muslim. At first, he was uhhhh the qurasyh tribe at Mecca.After the Hudaibbiyah peace treaty, he converted into Islam. His last sentence is "I fought in so many battles seeking matyrdom(die in war or struggle) that there's no spot on my body left without a scar or a wound made by a spear or a sword and yet here I am dying on my bed like an old camel.May the eyes of the cowards never rest" .And I will return to cover the other guy, Salahuddin Al-Ayub
Personally, if there was a part 2, i would love Rodrigo Diaz/ El Cid would be included, since his story is a perfect blend of a great warrior and the feudal politics that was the reconquista
The famous weapon of The Gurkhas is known as KHUKURI. I wonder how much study and research you have done for all your content. Really you are amazing 🤩
Clearly not much since he said Leonids and his Spartans fought 2mill Persians which isn’t even close same with just 300 Spartans there was other Greeks there as well but hey I guess that’s not a exciting m
For the GE, the Mandarin fleet wasn't powerful enough, now saw hello to the 7th fleet, the largest fleet ever. Speaking of that spartan, it inspired the battle of Rorke's drift between 170 British soldiers 20K Zulu Warriors and
@@nursestoyland I'm not kidding, the 7th fleet of the Guamanian Royal Navy was LITERALLY the largest Navy in the GE, 700 times larger than Task force 38, it has 765 warships, of which, here's the list of the class of ships in the 7th Fleet 1. The Guamerfi Class Ships -GNHMS/SSA Guamerfi Battleship (sank a few miles from where it was built during a training mission for new sailors) -GNHMS Royal Destroyer (decommissioned after WW2 and was commissioned into the Guamanian Royal Remnant, it was sank after being shelled by a fleet of 62 ships) -GNHMS Hercheal Dreadnought (based off of USS Texas from our world) 76+ other ships 2. Gwomnotta Class ships -GNHMS/SSA Gwomnotta Battleship (is a mix of both the KMS Bismarck and the IJN Yamato and is still used today) SSAN Guamerfi airborne Battleship (is a Battleship basically taken to the skies) Part 2 coming up soon.....
Obviously needs a part 2. Now add two Iban legends by the name of Awang Anak Raweng and Kanang Anak Langkau. Also, if you think Gurkhas aren't afraid of death, the Iban Trackers deserved the same respect and recognition. During the Malayan Emergency from 1948 till 1960, Awang Anak Raweng was an Iban Tracker, mind I tell you who were just civilians that volunteered the British Army at the time, who protected his severely injured comrade, Private G. Huges, against 50 communist even though he got shot on the tigh and right arm. After a 40 minute standoff, the communist withdrew after Awang pulled out a grenade and threatened to kill everyone with it using just his teeth to pull out the pin. He was awarded a George Cross for his bravery. Next is the legendary Kanang Anak Langkau during the Communist Insurgency in Malaysia from 1968 till 1989. He was an Iban Tracker in the Royal Ranger Regiment, now a real military after independance, who was outnumbered and in a fierce firefight after tracking the enemy for eleven days. While in battle, he shouted the infamous Iban battlecry "Agi Idup, Agi Ngelaban" which means "I Will Fight While I Live" which is now the moto of the Royal Ranger Regiment. He got shot on the body 3 times whilst trying to save his comrade and got into a coma for 2 months.
You forgot the White feather he shot a sniper through his own sniper scope! And even better the sniper that was shot was the Cobra (In the second world war)
I used to work where the Ghurkas are (were? It was 30 odd years ago). We'd see them in town, and because of the nature of my job, I occasionally went onto their garrison. They have the most awesome reputation throughout the UK for their bravery & sense of honour but when you meet them in peace, as it were, you couldn't wish to meet anyone more polite, smiley and generally adorable! I'm *not* saying this in any way negatively. I would *not* want to be someone in battle against them, because I'd probably leave the battlefield in a body bag, if I could be found. But they're just the complete opposite of that well-earned reputation in "real life". I always loved getting the chance to go to our job there, but as the supervisor, I didn't often get the chance to get out of the office (fortunately, my office was about a mile or so from the camp, so if I got my timing right I could "ride shotgun" with my worker, so to speak ☺️). Any non-allied soldier should take notice; if you see them coming, run! Their reputation is not exaggerated!
👍 part 2 please. May I suggest British naval captain, Thomas Cochrane? One of the most incredible stories I have ever heard. I believe Aubrey in Master and Commander was based loosely on him. maybe even Horatio Hornblower too
Vlad Dracul should be on this list. A hero to the Romanians working with hardly any armed, trained warriors. Let’s talk, not on how many were conquered, but how many were conquered with very few soldiers
As a Karelian and Finn, I must point out some lack of information, in Your video: Simo Häyhä, (The book: White Death, can be read in English) did not, get injured in any "barrage", he was shot in his face with a exploding munition. Forbidden by Geneva Convention. And, he was not only a farmer, he also participated in, what You call "National Guard", pre war. His, confirmed tally, is 542, with his rifle,( Originated from 1800! A Mosin-Nagant). To this should be added all the ruskies, he sent to a better place, when "cleaning up" trenches, with a Suomi machine pistol.
Lachhiman Gurung is a British-Nepalese Gurkha hero as he lost one arm but did not give up, he killed 200 Japanese soldiers and never got killed like a hero
Correction. Simo Häyhä was taken down by an explosive bullet. Not mortar round. The Soviets bombarded forests to hit him but all rounds missed. Also. Simo killed over 500 comfirmed. With the freaking spitz!
Yes, i agree but probably because khaleed is more to one of the best military general with genius mind rather than warrior as an individual achievement. I think he's the same categories like Napoleon who didnt make the spot too. But yea i kinda sad he didnt make the spot, he deserved it.
Have to admit, that was an amazing video! Ended up learning quite a bit and have to admit, I'd love to see a part 2. If I could make a suggestion though? Leo Major comes to mind as deserving the title of 'Greatest Warrior of all Time' alongside the people you had already mentioned.
24:59 Damn! I mean I knew the Gurkhas were tough but I mean from fighting one handed to the fact it was the Japanese he was taking on….to holding off 200 of them…..damn just damn. I’m honestly amazed.
Yes please! I sure enjoy this one and I'll be sharing this with all my friends and family! Because I know they'll enjoy it too! Thank you man. I always like watching your stuff! 💖😊💖
Many of these were undoubtedly great warriors, even if we subtract a bit to account for sources with overactive imaginations. However, others were mainly great generals; even leading from the front, a general's reputation is made by winning the battle, not by fighting in it. We need to account for much more than just overactive imaginations, when dealing with their stories. Also, there are several glaring omissions. The biggest, in my opinion, is Egill Skallagrimson. The man was an ongoing mass murder in human form, killing fellow Vikings, Christian soldiers, random neighbors, other berserkers, commoners, and royalty; in brawls, duels, skirmishes, battles, self defense, and "self defense". He killed an older kid with an axe, when he was seven; the kid made the mistake of cheating in a game. He killed the slave that helped him bury his gold, when he was 80, before dying peacefully in his bed (which he do doubt found annoying; it's not like he hadn't made an effort to get himself killed properly). An English king once paid him two chests of silver, for fighting in a single battle. He was also extraordinarily ugly, and a great poet. So great, in fact, that he got out of his own execution for killing the son of king Eirik Bloodaxe, by composing and reciting a poem so stunning that the king was bound by custom to reward him (the Norse took their poetry very seriously), and, for a condemned man, the only reward of any significance is a pardon. His moral standards may have left something to be desired, and he should definitely not be emulated. However, even accounting for massive exaggerations in the saga, he must still have been one of the most lethal warriors, ever. He did with a sword what modern soldiers rarely (if ever) accomplish with a minigun. So, you know, stuff him in there, next time. You definitely don't want his ghost haunting you. It might, if we are to believe in such things. I doubt they dared let him into Hell; the Devil doesn't need that kind of competition. That would leave his disembodied soul to roam the World.
As a Sioux, i appreciate the Crazy Horse memorial. Its commisioned by natives and will one day have a college there. Its entirely funded by donations, so help that out if you feel.. ✌
At 15:29 "Lieutenant Custer" You miss identified George Armstrong Custer's rank. His rank is abbreviated "Lt Col", short for lieutenant colonel. When speaking shorthand you refer to a lieutenant colonel as "Colonel", unless you're a higher rank and you are "pulling rank". That was tradition then, it is tradition now....
another person which I think may have fit well into this video is Adrian Carton De Wiart also known as the unkillable solder. he survived two plane crashes, tunneled out of a POW camp, bit off his own fingers when the doctor would not amputate them, and when discussing WW1 he said "frankly I had enjoyed the war"
Audie Leon Murphy.....nuff said. Cochise, Chiricahua Apache! Cochise taught Geronimo everything he knew about military tactics & survival. I'm a descendant of Cochise through his 1st wife.
Dude, this was a fricken awesome video! Out of this list, I have to say my favourite warrior is The White Death, with Lachhiman Gurang and Julie D'Aubigny rounding out my top 3. However, my personal favourite warrior from history was only mentioned a couple of times but wasn't on the list, so I would love to see a part 2 to see if he's on it, along with other legendary warriors! (Sadly my number 1 "Greatest Warrior" won't be featured in any of these videos because he's a fictional Aussie character by the name of Jack West Jr. 😉)
Chandragupta Maurya , one of the Greatest Warriors of all time. U should make next video on Shivaji Maharaja , Guru Gobind Singh Ji, Banda Singh Bahadur, and Maharan Pratap. Great Warriors of India...Shivaji Maharaj killed a lion in his young age....Guru Gobind Singh Created Sikh Khalsa , fought against Mughals, won all battles in his lifetime....!!!

If you decide to make a part two to this video, I would like to suggest Ben L. Saloman, an American dentist who was assigned to the front lines of WWII to replace a wounded surgeon. When some Japanese soldiers killed a man he had just saved, he took up a machine gun and killed nearly 100 enemy soldiers. He is one of only three dentists to ever receive the Medal of Honor.
It wasn't directly on the front lines. Saloman (not sure on the spelling) was defending a forward field hospital/command camp after basically all the brass and combat trained units got killed in the initial attack. He held out for a long time to make sure his patients could be evacuated. I only heard the story once, and a long time ago; only trying to fill a few holes in what you said.
Edit: Something about the rules of warfare (which I cannot claim to know) made that camp less likely to be attacked, thus it only had a skeleton crew protecting it, thus why our dentist had to show his badassery.
This is why I don't like dentists, they are scary
Actually, Gurkha Chad used a bolt-action rifle than a submachine-gun or a machine-gun. Bolt-action rifles must used with two hands, one hand holds the rifle steady while the other one reloads, shoots and operate the bolt mechanism. So this was an amazing feat back in the day.
Part 2 please. Add Khalid ibn al-Walid, the greatest warrior in Islam or the greatest general ever lived. He never got defeated once,i need to research just in case. If I'm not mistaken, he actually want to die in war but he cried when he can't die at war
(edit)
He fight over 115 battles. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) even called Khalid as Sword of Allah(God). He died at old age. He wasn't always a Muslim. At first, he was uhhhh the qurasyh tribe at Mecca.After the Hudaibbiyah peace treaty, he converted into Islam. His last sentence is "I fought in so many battles seeking matyrdom(die in war or struggle) that there's no spot on my body left without a scar or a wound made by a spear or a sword and yet here I am dying on my bed like an old camel.May the eyes of the cowards never rest" .And I will return to cover the other guy, Salahuddin Al-Ayub
@@neilw.3012 Yawn it is
I've watched the movie '300' about legitly 300 Sparda soldiers with 2 million enemy kills or more. They're so great. 😎
They made an f-ing wall out of the bodies. And yes Spartans were trained with only a cloak
Please do part 2! Don't forget the greatest man in history, One Punch Man. Ending all his battles with one punch.
Personally, if there was a part 2, i would love Rodrigo Diaz/ El Cid would be included, since his story is a perfect blend of a great warrior and the feudal politics that was the reconquista
Actually Simo was hit by an explosive bullet when he was sent into battle, not hit by a mortar
You should include Audie Leon Murphy, the most decorated soldier in the entire history of the U.S Army.
The famous weapon of The Gurkhas is known as KHUKURI.
I wonder how much study and research you have done for all your content.
Really you are amazing 🤩
Clearly not much since he said Leonids and his Spartans fought 2mill Persians which isn’t even close same with just 300 Spartans there was other Greeks there as well but hey I guess that’s not a exciting m
@@timsmith1323 he did mention that! Weren't you paying attention?
@@y_fam_goeglyd yes he said it as a afterthought but used the numbers i but in the above msg as the main numbers
This is how I like to learn history. Can we have a part 2 please?
Simo häyhä, 505 confirmed kills with his rifle + 200 with m/31 suomi smg.... there should be part 2 and add 3 army veteran finnish guy also...
Yes! Part 2 is definitely needed!
For the GE, the Mandarin fleet wasn't powerful enough, now saw hello to the 7th fleet, the largest fleet ever. Speaking of that spartan, it inspired the battle of Rorke's drift between 170 British soldiers 20K Zulu Warriors and
Task Force 38: am I a joke to you?
@@nursestoyland I'm not kidding, the 7th fleet of the Guamanian Royal Navy was LITERALLY the largest Navy in the GE, 700 times larger than Task force 38, it has 765 warships, of which, here's the list of the class of ships in the 7th Fleet
1. The Guamerfi Class Ships
-GNHMS/SSA Guamerfi Battleship (sank a few miles from where it was built during a training mission for new sailors)
-GNHMS Royal Destroyer (decommissioned after WW2 and was commissioned into the Guamanian Royal Remnant, it was sank after being shelled by a fleet of 62 ships)
-GNHMS Hercheal Dreadnought (based off of USS Texas from our world)
76+ other ships
2. Gwomnotta Class ships
-GNHMS/SSA Gwomnotta Battleship (is a mix of both the KMS Bismarck and the IJN Yamato and is still used today)
SSAN Guamerfi airborne Battleship (is a Battleship basically taken to the skies)
Part 2 coming up soon.....
@@theconfederacyofindependen7268 dang. What I mean is by terms of experience
Obviously needs a part 2. Now add two Iban legends by the name of Awang Anak Raweng and Kanang Anak Langkau. Also, if you think Gurkhas aren't afraid of death, the Iban Trackers deserved the same respect and recognition.
During the Malayan Emergency from 1948 till 1960, Awang Anak Raweng was an Iban Tracker, mind I tell you who were just civilians that volunteered the British Army at the time, who protected his severely injured comrade, Private G. Huges, against 50 communist even though he got shot on the tigh and right arm. After a 40 minute standoff, the communist withdrew after Awang pulled out a grenade and threatened to kill everyone with it using just his teeth to pull out the pin. He was awarded a George Cross for his bravery.
Next is the legendary Kanang Anak Langkau during the Communist Insurgency in Malaysia from 1968 till 1989. He was an Iban Tracker in the Royal Ranger Regiment, now a real military after independance, who was outnumbered and in a fierce firefight after tracking the enemy for eleven days. While in battle, he shouted the infamous Iban battlecry "Agi Idup, Agi Ngelaban" which means "I Will Fight While I Live" which is now the moto of the Royal Ranger Regiment. He got shot on the body 3 times whilst trying to save his comrade and got into a coma for 2 months.
Simo hayha was The most impresive in my opion
You forgot the White feather he shot a sniper through his own sniper scope! And even better the sniper that was shot was the Cobra
(In the second world war)
yes part 2, it was a very well researched video and I even knew a few iI would greatly enjoy seeing a part 2 in the series.
Finaly a low quality thumbnail by be amazed
I used to work where the Ghurkas are (were? It was 30 odd years ago). We'd see them in town, and because of the nature of my job, I occasionally went onto their garrison. They have the most awesome reputation throughout the UK for their bravery & sense of honour but when you meet them in peace, as it were, you couldn't wish to meet anyone more polite, smiley and generally adorable!
I'm *not* saying this in any way negatively. I would *not* want to be someone in battle against them, because I'd probably leave the battlefield in a body bag, if I could be found. But they're just the complete opposite of that well-earned reputation in "real life". I always loved getting the chance to go to our job there, but as the supervisor, I didn't often get the chance to get out of the office (fortunately, my office was about a mile or so from the camp, so if I got my timing right I could "ride shotgun" with my worker, so to speak ☺️).
Any non-allied soldier should take notice; if you see them coming, run! Their reputation is not exaggerated!
Do you think this was a new kind of bots???
This was an amazing video, but I'm both surprised and sad you didn't mentioned the Unkillable Soldier himself, Adrian Carton De Wiart.
During the battle of the little bighorn, Custer was a lieutenant colonel, not a lieutenant. A lieutenant colonel is one rank above a major.
Respect for GORKHALI ❤❤
👍 part 2 please. May I suggest British naval captain, Thomas Cochrane? One of the most incredible stories I have ever heard. I believe Aubrey in Master and Commander was based loosely on him. maybe even Horatio Hornblower too
Herbert Horatio Hornblower?
God bless God loves you
His name is similar to my school name in Malaysia, Cochrane Perkasa(Glory, I think). That would be make sense if he invaded Malaysia
I agree
Don’t forget about Doss Desmond!
I visited Crazy Horse Memorial in 2016. The staff told me that it's going to take 300 years to build the monument.
The Fuck did you visit if it ain't built? And how's it going to take them 300 years to build it??
Please make a part 2 with Lyudmila Pavlichenko!
Your stuff is always great. I'd love a part 2.
"All of these warriors, better than i will be."
"Honey go outside."
"Shut up mom im talking to Myself and my made up friends!"
Vlad Dracul should be on this list. A hero to the Romanians working with hardly any armed, trained warriors. Let’s talk, not on how many were conquered, but how many were conquered with very few soldiers
As a indiaian I am proud of Chandra Gupta Muarya ❤😊
As a Karelian and Finn, I must point out some lack of information, in Your video:
Simo Häyhä, (The book: White Death, can be read in English) did not, get injured in any "barrage", he was shot in his face with a exploding munition. Forbidden by Geneva Convention. And, he was not only a farmer, he also participated in, what You call "National Guard", pre war. His, confirmed tally, is 542, with his rifle,( Originated from 1800! A Mosin-Nagant). To this should be added all the ruskies, he sent to a better place, when "cleaning up" trenches, with a Suomi machine pistol.
Tlahuicole was just Aztec Thor at this point.
Hey Be Amazed, I love your videos!
I’m Native American like crazy horse
Lachhiman Gurung is a British-Nepalese Gurkha hero as he lost one arm but did not give up, he killed 200 Japanese soldiers and never got killed like a hero
There was also a Russian woman who fought German men almost single handedly to avenge her husband.
In her own personal tank, if I remember correctly.
He covered it in the revenge video
Correction. Simo Häyhä was taken down by an explosive bullet. Not mortar round. The Soviets bombarded forests to hit him but all rounds missed. Also. Simo killed over 500 comfirmed. With the freaking spitz!
Please include Khalid bin Walid as he was one of the greatest fighters in history
Yeah he was strongest and the best commander
He doesn’t get any respect unfortunately, every video like this always misses him out
Yes, i agree but probably because khaleed is more to one of the best military general with genius mind rather than warrior as an individual achievement. I think he's the same categories like Napoleon who didnt make the spot too. But yea i kinda sad he didnt make the spot, he deserved it.
I was expecting to hear Steph Curry's valiant performance in the NBA, He's literally the greatest Warrior of all time!
part 2. please bring the Swedish Caroleans. They beat Russia, Poland and Denmark at the same time after marching miles.
You are that teacher who makes a hard and boring subject fun and easy because you are so good at telling a story.
Have to admit, that was an amazing video! Ended up learning quite a bit and have to admit, I'd love to see a part 2. If I could make a suggestion though? Leo Major comes to mind as deserving the title of 'Greatest Warrior of all Time' alongside the people you had already mentioned.
24:59 Damn! I mean I knew the Gurkhas were tough but I mean from fighting one handed to the fact it was the Japanese he was taking on….to holding off 200 of them…..damn just damn. I’m honestly amazed.
Simo häyhä The best sniper in the world 500+ confirmed kills who didn't use a scope the man that makes me proud of my country
No warrior is greater than this generation for enduring this life
I like the sarcasm.
11:39 "Because someone made fun of you" Like he didn't killed his entire family💀
Every day in the winter war was a field day for Simo
Jack Churchill, Killed Nazis with a bow and sword during ww2. Absolute legend.
Yes please!
I sure enjoy this one and I'll be sharing this with all my friends and family!
Because I know they'll enjoy it too!
Thank you man. I always like watching your stuff!
💖😊💖
I just finished watching your video about the white death!
Can there be a part 2? And if there will be a part 2, can you please add 'the red baron'? he's one of my favorite war heroes!
Lachiman didn't use a machine gun or a sub machine gun. He used a bolt-action rifle to kill the Japanese soldiers.
Many of these were undoubtedly great warriors, even if we subtract a bit to account for sources with overactive imaginations. However, others were mainly great generals; even leading from the front, a general's reputation is made by winning the battle, not by fighting in it. We need to account for much more than just overactive imaginations, when dealing with their stories.
Also, there are several glaring omissions. The biggest, in my opinion, is Egill Skallagrimson. The man was an ongoing mass murder in human form, killing fellow Vikings, Christian soldiers, random neighbors, other berserkers, commoners, and royalty; in brawls, duels, skirmishes, battles, self defense, and "self defense". He killed an older kid with an axe, when he was seven; the kid made the mistake of cheating in a game. He killed the slave that helped him bury his gold, when he was 80, before dying peacefully in his bed (which he do doubt found annoying; it's not like he hadn't made an effort to get himself killed properly). An English king once paid him two chests of silver, for fighting in a single battle. He was also extraordinarily ugly, and a great poet. So great, in fact, that he got out of his own execution for killing the son of king Eirik Bloodaxe, by composing and reciting a poem so stunning that the king was bound by custom to reward him (the Norse took their poetry very seriously), and, for a condemned man, the only reward of any significance is a pardon. His moral standards may have left something to be desired, and he should definitely not be emulated. However, even accounting for massive exaggerations in the saga, he must still have been one of the most lethal warriors, ever. He did with a sword what modern soldiers rarely (if ever) accomplish with a minigun.
So, you know, stuff him in there, next time. You definitely don't want his ghost haunting you. It might, if we are to believe in such things. I doubt they dared let him into Hell; the Devil doesn't need that kind of competition. That would leave his disembodied soul to roam the World.
11:52 As a half Portuguese person, I can say I am very proud of the country.🇵🇹
As a Sioux, i appreciate the Crazy Horse memorial. Its commisioned by natives and will one day have a college there. Its entirely funded by donations, so help that out if you feel.. ✌
At 15:29
"Lieutenant Custer"
You miss identified George Armstrong Custer's rank. His rank is abbreviated "Lt Col", short for lieutenant colonel. When speaking shorthand you refer to a lieutenant colonel as "Colonel", unless you're a higher rank and you are "pulling rank".
That was tradition then, it is tradition now....
If you do make a part 2, let me propose 'Mad' Jack Churchill to be included in it.
another person which I think may have fit well into this video is Adrian Carton De Wiart also known as the unkillable solder. he survived two plane crashes, tunneled out of a POW camp, bit off his own fingers when the doctor would not amputate them, and when discussing WW1 he said "frankly I had enjoyed the war"
Into the fire through trenches and mud
long live Sabaton!@@jurrehuizinga7136
"This it's Spartan"
Me:They still badass
This is amazing can’t wait for the next part
Audie Leon Murphy.....nuff said.
Cochise, Chiricahua Apache! Cochise taught Geronimo everything he knew about military tactics & survival. I'm a descendant of Cochise through his 1st wife.
Oh i love hearing about Simo "The White Death" Häyhä. i always hear so little about him when it comes to famous warriors. and i say that as a german.
I like the Indian guy who defeated his empire and died mediation
Chanekya was badass too
@@Mahlak_Mriuani_Anatman true
Dude, this was a fricken awesome video! Out of this list, I have to say my favourite warrior is The White Death, with Lachhiman Gurang and Julie D'Aubigny rounding out my top 3. However, my personal favourite warrior from history was only mentioned a couple of times but wasn't on the list, so I would love to see a part 2 to see if he's on it, along with other legendary warriors!
(Sadly my number 1 "Greatest Warrior" won't be featured in any of these videos because he's a fictional Aussie character by the name of Jack West Jr. 😉)
hope to see Shaka Zulu in the next series
I want part 2 of this 😢
I’m sorry but it’s so hard to hear you pronounce agoge wrong
"Ah-Go-Gay" 💀
They haven't met me yet. I once had 20 large armed youths on the run , single handed, lol they just couldn't catch me!
Another fun video there.
Chandragupta Maurya , one of the Greatest Warriors of all time. U should make next video on Shivaji Maharaja , Guru Gobind Singh Ji, Banda Singh Bahadur, and Maharan Pratap. Great Warriors of India...Shivaji Maharaj killed a lion in his young age....Guru Gobind Singh Created Sikh Khalsa , fought against Mughals, won all battles in his lifetime....!!!
Ya
