- From 1939 to 1945 the world was at war. Ultimately, the fight for freedom over tyranny was won in large part by superior strategy. We invite you learn more by exploring Hillsdale College’s full course, “The Second World Wars” featuring Victor Davis Hanson and Hillsdale’s President Larry P. Arnn.

Hillsdale College is an independent institution of higher learning founded in 1844 by men and women “grateful to God for the inestimable blessings” resulting from civil and religious liberty and “believing that the diffusion of learning is essential to the perpetuity of these blessings.” It pursues the stated object of the founders: “to furnish all persons who wish, irrespective of nation, color, or sex, a literary, scientific, [and] theological education” outstanding among American colleges “and to combine with this such moral and social instruction as will best develop the minds and improve the hearts of its pupils.” As a nonsectarian Christian institution, Hillsdale College maintains “by precept and example” the immemorial teachings and practices of the Christian faith.
The College also considers itself a trustee of our Western philosophical and theological inheritance tracing to Athens and Jerusalem, a heritage finding its clearest expression in the American experiment of self-government under law.
By training the young in the liberal arts, Hillsdale College prepares students to become leaders worthy of that legacy. By encouraging the scholarship of its faculty, it contributes to the preservation of that legacy for future generations. By publicly defending that legacy, it enlists the aid of other friends of free civilization and thus secures the conditions of its own survival and independence.
It is very good to see the internet being used to educate and inform. It is beconing an endangered duty but Hillsdale does a magnificent job.
Thank you I always learn something new; and receive clarity on things I didn't understand.
Thank you Hillsdale College for great teachers of history that are willing to come and teach us. Thank you. Mr Hanson. God bless you all ❤️🙏💯
Amen to all that
VDH might be the best thing since discovery of penicillin.
USSR did most of the ground work against the Germans. They really defeated the Germans in the land war.
Hillsdale College is a light to our nation.
I absolutely love listening to VDH. He always does such a great job of putting things into perspective.
Terrific
VDH analysis is always so clear!
Excellent educational material very well narrated ! Thumbs up on the video 🗄
It`s horrible education material. Hanson is a genius historian who knows a lot of stuff but deliberately forgets to mention them so you can get the "correct" opinion. It`s more propaganda than anything else. Especially the Churchill part.
thank you, prof. Hanson! please more history lessons.
I’m reading his book “The Second World Wars” right now. I recommend it.
US nationalism set aside, Stalin and the enormous sacrifice of the Russian people won WW2. VDH is a Nationalist.
Turkey. Because no-one ever mentions that part of the Axis by name.
I just looked it up. Turkey signed a non-aggression pact with Germany and near the end of the war declared war on Germany. So... you'd have to say they didn't play much of a role at all. What's your understanding of Turkey's role?
I think you confuse Turkey’s role in WW1.
Thank you
Great explanation of how the allies rlly succeeded on a more specific level
I love this man!
Most ashamed battle was in pearlharbour. 2402 guys of usa were los in one charge of japan aviation.
Brilliant speech:) Greetings from Ukraine.
Dude, the USSR legit carried the allies during the war. They did the dirty work while the western allies took all the credit.
Don’t forget about the lend-lease (even before the invasion) sent by the Allies to the Soviets. Without that, the world we know it as today would be gone.
@@agent_k546 True, but the Soviets were the ones who actually used the equipment, therefore they should be given the credit for having to sacrifice so much to defeat fascism.
@@U_Go_Boom True, but it was a collected effort on both sides. Without allied supplies as well as the Greeks diverting the Germans focus, the Soviets would have no doubt collapsed. On the other hand the allies relied on the Soviets as it was to divert the Germans, without them, Britain could have fallen if the war was dragged out and America would have been forced to to sue peace.
@@agent_k546 Yes, but there is no denying that the Soviets paid the heaviest price for the war and endured the most intense fighting. Additionally, the US only began supplying the USSR after 1942, which by that point the German blitzkrieg had already been halted and slowed.
@@U_Go_Boom “British brains, American steel, Soviet blood.” - Joseph Stalin, 1943 Tehran Conference.
It blows my mind how you can come to this conclusion without addressing the role the Soviet Union played in defeating the Third Reich.
Actually, if the United States, with its industrial strength producing the armaments of war that supplied the Soviet Union with its initial tanks and much other equipment, the Soviet Union would have been defeated much earlier by Germany. Don't forget, Stalin murdered most of his generals to purge Russia's military of forces he thought was going to oust him as dictator before Germany attacked. All Stalin could do was thr0w bodies at the German forces which was devastating to the population until Russia was supplied by the United States with the equipment to stave off the German advancements long enough for Russia to begin producing its own machinery far east of Moscow. Hitler is the one who really defeated himself by deciding to attack Russia - it wasn't Stalin. Stalin's paranoia played a large part in Russia's devastating loss of human life of his country men.
This!
The United States was the arsenal of Liberty for the Allies and without our production the Soviets would have fallen before their infamous winter stopped the German advance.
@@richbattaglia5350 I totally agree with you! Without us supplying the Russians with tanks and planes and many other implements of war, Russia would have surely fallen. We supplied Russians with the weapons of war mainly to keep Germany in a multifront war and to help delay Germany long enough for us to build up our military and equipment enough so we could wage war with Britain. FDR, with his usual Democrat reticence about the military, failed to build up the military as Democrats always do - like they do to this day.
@@MrGili4 FDR's Republicans were, well, isolationists. Congress insisted on Cash and Carry and FDR ran into huge troubles to actually provide war provisions with Lend-Lease.
Don't mistake 80s neoconservative Republicans with 1930s Republicans. FDR was a bigger warhawk than most.
In fact, VDH stated that.
@@MrGili4 that was at the start untill the soviets moved their war industries further inland. From there they started churning out tons of equipments and didnt need US equipment. Stop trying to take credit.
The western allies did not lose as many not because their leaders were brilliant, but because they pretty much had few if not any civilian deaths. Also, the British Empire and the US were not actually invaded like in the case of the USSR.
Britain wasn’t invaded because they beat the Germans in the skies landing Nazi Germany it’s first major defeat and the first turning point in the war.
Cannot trust Tyranny.
He was a great student of Ulysses S. Grant. Whose great push to win won the Civil War.
Now we know that without Soviet , the U.S. And British could not win .
Well, in hindsight things might look so easy and genius. But imagine on december 8th the japanese would also have invaded Soviet Union then all the reserve armies would not have been moved to the Moscow defense.
Imagine the Barabarossa would have happened a year later - El Alamein would have a different outcome.
Could Churchill anticipate all of that so easy ?
In the long run things had paid off but it had been on the verge even during the battle of Britain when they suddenly moved from strategic bombing of military targets to revenge and propaganda bombing without any succes or better hich losses.
Great talk anyway.
Thanks, Hillsdale. FDR was a brilliant president, even if you don't agree with all of his policies.
I was floored when I found out Truman had no idea about the Manhattan Project when FDR died and he became president. (Amongst many other secrets I'm sure.) That's a pretty insane need to be in control of everything. I assumed FDR did a pretty good job fighting the war but that made me wonder. Are you familiar with this? And how does that play a role in your calculation?
A brilliant king, for a country that was ruled by laws and not men for the previous 160 years
Churchill was an amazing man!!! He refused to surrender
This man has a high school military history understanding of wwii
Wow
Just saw him on fox.
Young blood and Logistics, bro
The sad thing is ,if Japan hadn't hit Pearl Harbor USA wiggly not have gotten involved. Which is awful to start with.

No wonder you're in such a mess! There are no aliens, just lost souls.
Second front was created too early. It should be created in 1946 or 1947
Remember once and forever- ussa won ww2. Solo. After won japan. Where ussa was helped by china.
Well won! And only had to turned over 55,000,000 million human beings to Stalin's tender mercies. Good job, gents!
They left the fighting to the Russians. Russian destroyed 90% of German and Italian divisions. THE END.
70%
@@ChrisCrossClash 90% destroyed. Surrender in Africa and in Western Front is not destruction.
Taken out 70%, yes.
before america bombing campaign german air force over halve of the combat missions was recon, and after bombing we pull the fighter west leaving german planes on the east front open to russian fighters
@@brucenadeau2172 Half in 1941 and half in 1945 is not the same. We talking 1000's of planes more in in the early war. Later on in 1944 we are talking 100's of planes.
Next there is quality of planes to consider. Before La-9 Russians did not have comparable planes to the Germans.
That said destroying a mighty 1941-1944 force on the Eastern Front was a gigantic task unlike "half" of what was left in the 1944-45
70-77%
WW2 was only one battle, the everlasting series of AngloAmerican heritage to become the Only Totalitarian Nation that exists.
This dream just don't go away.
Could be worse. Could be the Mongolians in charge.
What?
@@Xpistos510 just some garbly goop.
they had more firepower
Yeah, more resources and higher production capacity. Simply put.
@@TheCJUN and more man power...oil too
You can't make any discussion about victory, without including the Russian Army. They were essential.
Winston Churchill was overrated. Without the Americans and Poles and a very few excellent military commanders who ignored Churchill and brought back hundreds of thousands of soldiers from Dunkirk (Churchill wanted to leave them in France) plus the guy who organised our air power properly instead of listening to Churchill, the Allies would NOT have won WW2.
how britian organised your air defense had most fighter in forward bases within easy fighter range al most lost them
We, Russians won the war, we sacraficed the most of our lives and we did the main effort. We reached Berlin not you
or you had to literally be supplied by another country and couldn’t even keep your own people alive
Also Russia legit was part of the problem right away in ww2 so screw you guys
@@hacksawhackmann we defeated 80 percent of the German army which was in the east. Supplied? Lend lease didn't make a difference.
@@aranyaism 100 k trucks, 25k trains, 6k p39,p63, and food did not matter
the western bomber campaign after 42 pulled west 55 percent german fighters
You should thank HORMEL foods for 13 billion cans of SPAM that kept your army from starving. Dead soldiers don't fight very well. You are welcome.
More than 6 minutes of pointless beating about the bush.
The Allies won WW1/WW2 because of a *geographical advantage.*
In Europe, having the resources-starved inner lines (strategy) like Germany did, favors a short war, and a short war only.
Having the resources rich outer lines aka "most of the planet" (strategy) favors any "long war" scenario.
Oh! I know he answer to this one! They ignored the rules of war, rigged it from the beginning, and allied with some of the most evil forces in the world. That’s how they won. Gold star?
Soviet Union defeated the Nazis and won ww2.
The greatest part about this video is the music. The video could stand on its own without it. Next time please ditch the irritating Dr Hanson, we prefer less of his nuisance and more brilliant music.
Hanson is more a right wing talking head than a historian. His training isn’t in modern history anyway. He usually parrots right wing talking points on Fox News.
Okay this is about “the allies”😂 it’s a well known fact the Americans did nor]t want to get involved with www if it hadn’t been attacked by the japs if that hadn’t happened we would have fought the Germans alone so allies America is not
