@@KingsandGenerals perhaps final taiwan invasion is not far 😂😂 we live in decade of war it seems.
Well done and Timely. Can you do a companion vid on the KMT and CIA backed Muslim resistance in Western China?
Upload Ukraine Russia war update and Israel update
The pre ICBM days were wild man. The notion that we could just include nuclear strikes as part of our battle plan because the enemy had no way of seriously striking back at the US is just crazy
why it is crazy? it seems only reasonable.. If you are engaged in a battle between life and death but still withold your strongest weapon.. That's CRAZY
@@sjsu4288it’s not that crazy. In WW2 all major power had chemical weapon stockpiled yet even Hitler isn’t crazy enough to use it
I mean, not for nothing but we wouldn't have any problems today.
We still do
@@stc2828 and do you realize why he didnt use them? for fear of them being used back against him. thats the same way nukes are nowadays. but at this moment when china didnt have them theres no fear of retalliation. hitler was going for the a bomb just like everyone else, you think he wouldnt of used it if he got it first?
10:38 slight inaccuracy with the map, Bangladesh didn't exist at the time, it was East Pakistan
Just to add, Arunachal Pradesh was controlled by India in 1951 but is claimed by China and India. So you could use a dashed line to put it in India. In the Map it is shown as part of China. Sikkim also did not join India until 1975.
Good catch. I'm sure it wasn't left in here intentionally but this reminds me of that time Operations Room did a video on the Indo-Pakistan war and his videos were taken down/ demonetised because he drew the borders as they were at the time. Honestly K&G might have been fortunate to make this mistake in case they suffered the same treatment XD.
@@jimmylavc561 Sounds a bit like an urban legend. Videos are not reviewed by people most of the time, and AI would need to be specifically trained on a map version (which one? India's? China's? US?) to detect it. With how random AI judgments are, it might be "lucky pants effect", whereas, for example, just mentioning "war" would give you 5% chance of getting demonetized.
@@fireiceuk9221 Could be a PATRIOT just happened to watched the video and made a stink/knew someone with weight to throw around...
Ton of fun writing this one =), rarely get to dabble in the cold war!
Did I miss one on the first crisis or is this a stand alone
I don't think they ever released a video on the first one, so whatever was mentioned earlier in the video would have to suffice.
@@Gameflyer001 thanks!
i am going to touch you
It was educating to watch this one, thx!
"Atomic weapons were just common bullets."
Eisenhower was an NCD member confirmed
NCD?
NCD- Non-communicable disease? Eisenhower warned people of the military industrial complex, and he was relatively a decent president compared to the nutjobs,crackpots, and quacks America had before and after him.
It's disconcerting that what is now a freak opinion for the deranged was once at least commonly enough believed to be shared by the president.
@@lonnellwestbrooks2147 he means r/nonCredibleDefense
@@lonnellwestbrooks2147 What if a website made plane-girls that everyone loved unironically?
The fact that the US upgraded the ROC Sabre fleet with the new heatseeking Sidewinder missile, a brand new kind of guided air to air weapon, and used it against agile MiGs over the strait to gain advantage over them, yet one of the Winders was a dud and stuck on the tail of a PLA MiG during the battle, so after the battle, obviously the PLA sent the dud missile to the Russians for study and made the Russians start to design their own version of the Sidewinder,
My grandpa was a ROCA junior officer who evacuated from Da-Chen island. My roommate during my graduate school years were also from a family evacuated from Da-Chen island during the first Taiwan Striate Crisis. To a lot of people in Taiwan, both crises are very relevant memory (not just stories/history). My grandpa just passed away last year and I missed him while watching this video. Nice work and hope you make another video on the 3rd Taiwan Striate Crisis (1996).
The Taoyuen airfield mentioned in the video is the Taipei International Airport (TPE) today

This war is commonly known as "823 artillery battle" (823砲戰) here in Taiwan (823 = August 23rd), probably because we like naming an event by its date. (e.g. 921 earthquake = 1999 Jiji earthquake, 918 incident = Mukden incident)
Anyway, this is very detailed, great job!
Ho Chi Minh was Saigon back in the day
And St.Petersburg was Leningrad
@@Jungletraveler00_12 Which isn't show on the map....
Why they changed it I can't say
And Bangladesh was east Pakistan
New York was “New Orange” when Manhattan was reconquered by the Dutch. So what? Learn some history. The area that now comprises Saigon was originally part of the Champa Empire until about 1145 when the Khmers took over. They held the area for another 500 years or so, but Saigon was nothing more than a fishing village then called Prey Nokor.
這個解說非常詳細，還有動畫的方式，以及資料的收集，都是非常的好。👏👏👏
Ｍy grandfather told me there was a ship where a military meeting was held, before the crisis started. My grandfather was a military advisor that came to Taiwan with the KMT, he was going to be on that meeting, but he wanted a family life so he quit the armies. The ship was later bombed and everyone died on the ship.
Funny enough, my grandfather's brother, became a delivery boy for Zhou Enlaihigh during the civil war, and later even become a people's representative.
Its so sad even time I read modern Chinese history. Millions died for ideology difference, all for a few man's power.
Communism at its finest with blood spill on innocent local citizens.
@@TrancymindAmerica: So who is killing my people? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Sad, but human nature since the human race exists. There are people who has greed and brain to manipulate people and there are dumb people who gets manipulated.

Great video keep it up you're doing amazing things 😁😀
My great-grand uncle was Deputy Minister of Defense of the ROC during this whole thing. Very tense time.
Just love your videos. Detailed, thought out, and enjoyable no matter the subject
Chiang Kai-Shek's life is just crazy. Always coordinating things for war
This is amazing! Thank you very much!
Thanks for the video
The sheer quantity of ordnance poured into those little islands is kinda staggering.
BTW K&G, this video features an ad for a Caesar World Tour T-shirt in your store but the link is broken.. may wanna have your ad people fix that
so much they sell tableware made from the steel of those arterillery shells lol
@@chinesesparrows I've read that! Wild 😜
An insane amount of ordnance but not that many casualties if you compared casualties to the amount of shells dropped there
厲害！我是台灣人，介紹得甚至比我們早期的歷史課本深入，讓人印象深刻，非常佩服！
excellent as always
I lived with a Taiwanese who was there as a soldier being bombarded Kinmen for about a year. Had nothing but praise for the US 7th fleet and the fighter aircraft with the earliest versions of the Sidewinder missiles they carried.
Most clear presentation regarding the matter I have ever seen, thank you.
"where these things are used on strictly military targets and for strictly military purposes, I see no reason why they shouldn't be used just exactly as you would use a bullet or anything else," -Eisenhower
Fascinating. Easy to imagine this escalating but fortunately it stayed ... not sure the right word ... reasonably contained I guess.
2:10 There was no Bangladesh in 1951.
it was Bengal then Pakistan then renamed 1971, to insinuate it wasn't a country is like saying Ukraine isn't a country, its the exact same circumstances 27 years apart.
Pakistan tried really hard to make it so...
@@jakekilley9037
In 1951, Nether Ukraine nor Bangladesh was separate country. It wasn't even East Pakistan then, It was just East Bengal.
@@khatian6350 your missing the whole point, to insinuate there not is retarded, both of them were province's of minor nations who succeeded to become nations of there own. again to think otherwise is defective. like straight up ignorant lol
@@jakekilley9037 it was part of pakistan, pakistan was divided in 2 between west pakistan and east pakistan, in 1971 bangladesh had a independance war and former east pakistan became a seperate country bangladesh
Can you do either a video or a series on the Congo Crisis and it took place between July 5th 1960 and November 25th 1965 and this crisis was a proxy conflict in the Cold War and it saw around 100,000 people killed and among the people killed was Dag Hammarskjöld the second secretary general of the United Nations and he was killed on his way to ceasefire negotiations and the crisis saw many battles and sieges and among them was the siege of Jadotville where 150 troops of Company A 35th battalion held out against a force of 3,000-5,000 mercenaries and the Irish forces surrendered and lived in shame until 2005 when the Irish Army pardoned the company for their surrender and more recently in the 2010s events changed for the better as in 2016 they were awarded a presidential unit citation which was the first in the history of the state of Ireland and in October 2017 a plaque commemorating the commander of the Irish troops was unveiled by former Irish Taoiseach Enda Kenny and then on December 2nd 2017 company A was presented with newly designed siege of Jadotville medals which is only issued to the members of Company A 35th Battalion who fought in the siege.
Best channel on the Tube. Thank you for your efforts!
Great video!
Holy shit! Didt know you cover moder warfare as well damn do you also do ww2? Or ww1
Thank you
Thanks for this great video. Love studying history mostly WWI WWII but also like learning about cold war conflicts and weapons. I did not know that much about Taiwan and China. Thank god the US did not drop a nuke. We need more of these videos. Always look forward to a new video. Love the animations.❤️❤️👍👍🫡
bro its just propaganda imagine calling taiwan dictator presidient but chines president a dictator.
at 13:16 text says "F-68" but they are F-86 Sabers great episode tho😎👍
Upvote for putting together this video! The Pacific is often ignored when compared to Europe (i.e. for WWII).
Great content
Agreed, K&G are kings.
中華民國萬歲 🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼
Taiwan Republic. The KMT and the Republic of China are disgusting colonizers. Go back to China.
The information of film is Correct, good job.
Interesting to watch how this unfolded since my grandfathers were with the KMT military so retreated with their family to Taiwan. Not knowing much Mandarin (born and raised in USA) so not much material about this.
I love anything about Taiwan, thank you so much!
Wow I'm fifty years old and I did not know that. Thank you.
Great vid.
Thanks!
What is PM-61 @13:42? I have never heard such aircraft used by USAF. Are you talking about MGM-1 Matador missile?
It is a good overview of the Taiwan conflict at that time, but full of carthographic and other mistakes. Some have already been mentioned in other comments. Another one is that there was no North and South Vietnam on 10 June 1951, but that was still French Indochina.
The Chinese characters you use need some addition too: Peng Dehuai is not written Peng De as you do 彭德 but it is 彭德怀. Doing that correctly is just a simple copy and paste job from Wikipedia.
If you read this, you are loved
Thanks man, a lot of people need this ❤
great video
well done
How is there no movie about this? I want a 90s style movie like "Thirteen Days".
Bro in whick program you do your map?
After Effects
As a straight crisis myself, Taiwan's troubles really speak to me
Just a Taiwanese comment passing by
3:41 wow never knew this, how successful were the raids!
The CCP and the KMT were in civil war both before and after the defeat of the Japanese in WW2. It did not "erupt" following it. The civil war was from 1 August 1927 until 7 December 1949.
The civil war was paused in 1936, following a coup, whereby Chiang signed the national contract to resist the Japanese. He be negated that following the defeat of Japanese at the behest of American war agenda.
Can you do a video on the KMT in Burma after they lost the Chinese civil war.
I think You made a mistake with the planes, o it was another designation for the sabres?
13:12 Indeed 86. The audio is correct. The written text (68) is a typo.
@14:14, 657 'warships' might be a stretch
Good job! When can we see a video on the 4th Taiwan Strait Crisis?
You should do a video on the 3rd taiwan crisis next.
Great video! But damn those 'morse code' sound effects were rather loud and distracting from the narrative.
How is this not mentioned or known now during current events!?!
In one of "Greg's Airplanes and Automobiles" TH-cam videos on the P-47, he had a short discussion on post WW2 action of ROC Thunderbolts against PRC Soviet produced propeller driven fighters. The P-47s did well. I was hoping this video would have more information on this air combat.
History might not repeat itself but I think we’ll hear the marching of the same drum in the coming years
My humble request to K&G, please cover the Indian Mediaeval History part❤
agree from uk
12:07 there are 2 "baghdad" cities in Iraq ?
If we use the history of the America to explain the relationship between Taiwan and the Mainland, it is like the relationship between the North and the South in the American Civil War. The difference is that the Northern Union, which represented orthodoxy, was defeated in the war and retreated to Alaska at the head of its army and government, while the South occupied the entire United States, and the war between the two sides has never stopped, with both sides claiming to be orthodox.
This is also the status quo of Taiwan and mainland, a China that is democratic and has Chinese orthodoxy, and a China whose legitimacy of rule by the Communist Party is questioned but very powerful. Both deny the sovereignty of the other, both claim full sovereignty over the mainland, Taiwan and the South China Sea, but both compromise on their right to govern, engage in "unofficial friendly exchanges" and trade practices, but it all falls apart. Hate propaganda from mainland-hating Taiwanese, U.S. hostility and China's economic depression have the CCP in hysterics, only God knows if the civil war that began without an armistice 70 years ago will return. ....
History: America's arrogance is good
Taiwan was fascist at the time, and the white terror was in full swing. It wasnt a battle between democracy and tyranny, neither were democratic. Native taiwanese cultures and languages were erased to establish a dominant chinese identity, they were literally being genocided. It was so bad that people preferred japanese rule over the ROC for a time.
@@halmstadrapbeats8084 The indigenous people of the island of Taiwan were exterminated by the Han Chinese Empire, and the rest became slaves
@@user-fl5mq9kp7g Are you actually denying that the White Terror happened? There were native Taiwanese when the Kuomintang retreated to the island, there ARE native taiwanese still on Taiwan. The Kuomintang absolutely were not democratic, Taiwan became a democracy in the 90's.
The massacres of Taiwan's aborigines were caused by early Han Chinese settlers and later by Imperial Japan's "Qingxiang" operations. Japan's "Clear the Countryside" operations were designed to suppress aboriginal resistance to its rule. The Japanese killed thousands, if not tens of thousands, of people in each operation, including not only the rebel fighters but also their families. The most famous was the "Kirisha Incident". The behavior of the Han Chinese settlers was purer and more evil. They occupied the land and killed all the aborigines. They even boiled the meat and bones of the aborigines to make "pango chili sauce" for consumption and then sold them to the Mainland. They believed that eating the "savage" aborigines would make them better. It made them healthier and could even make their genitals stronger. In contrast to these evil acts, the ROC government did not slaughter the aborigines. Almost all of those killed during martial law were Han Chinese who had been assimilated by the Japanese. They were arrested and "disappeared" by the government for sympathizing with the Communists and for their contempt and hatred of the Kuomintang. In stark contrast, the aborigines were trusted and heavily integrated into the military, and in order to educate the poor aborigines their high school entrance exam scores were raised, which also caused resentment among the Han Chinese people.
This incident is actually very ironic and sickening. The real "Taiwan" Pingdi 16 and Takayama were massacred by the Han Chinese and suppressed by the Japanese and their auxiliary forces. After the defeat of the Japanese, the Han Chinese began to claim that they were the aborigines of Taiwan, the true owners of the island, and hated their "compatriots" who had retreated to Taiwan in 1949. However, the "aborigines" did not hold these latercomers There was a special hostility. Today, the aborigines, whose blood and culture are still very pure, live only in the mountains of eastern Taiwan and in the southernmost part of the island. They are calm, gentle and fond of music, which contrasts sharply with the hate-filled and unashamed Han Chinese.
shit i didnt know there was crisis between china and taiwan already. thanks for the video
Bro after the WW2, China were at war against Taiwan, even if both defeat Japan during WW2 they weren't really in good relationship bcoz at that time Chiang Kai Shek was greedy as shit, want to be king in Taiwan, China won't allow it, that's why CCP was established
I feel that the team is on full on research mode regarding the recent attacks on Israel. More power and greatly appreciate the videos.
Make sure to include Israel's illegal attack on Iran's diplomatically protected embassy, which touched off the crisis. The USA looks like a laughing stock, being the enforcer of the rules-based international order and yet standing by doing nothing while these rules are flagrantly broken.
They didn't Bang Ladesh yet in 1951
so if something happens again its gonna look like this small island hoping
I have a question, there was no Eastern Theater Command in the 1950s

(I know they are all Chinese people and there might be political backlash)
4:38 shows a us flag 7,000 US marine raiders. On 6 July 1953 never heard of this. I thought the USMC got rid of the raiders in 1944. Is this ROC raiders? Anyone have more info on this if it's USMC I can't find anything.
What if the mongols invaded Europe was continue
謝謝您介紹台灣的過去歷史!!!!!Thanks
My father used to tell me, when Taiwan was about to elect our first president, the CCP have two missile launched and landed outside the Keelong port, he was a military academy student, and he feels like the world is ending, everyone in the base were maintaining weapons instead of training, and officers tell them to write their will in case war broke out, and all the vacations are revoked.
I love K&Gs talk bout Cold War, not someone elses. Although as a Japanese I feel something heavy
17:26 You mean 6th
It actually seems quite likely that the PRC didn’t actually want to take the Kinmen islands (and Chiang Kai Shek understood this) as these and the Matsu islands are Taiwan’s last link to the mainland. If these fell then the Chinese people might not see the point of going further (for context, Formosa had been part of Japan for a long time and had few links with the Chinese mainland).
But Chiang Kai Shek and all those that follow him are from mainland and got nothing to do with Japanese occupation period of Taiwan.
The truth is people in Taiwan are split between both KMT and Communist, but when Chiang Kai Shek ran to Taiwan he basically force them submit to his ideology. That why dark history of White Horror happen it done to eliminate all supporter of communist ideology.
So how did this crisis effect the Korean war and Vietnam war later on?
1.) Korea War convince the Americans that Red China is a Huge threat so they back-up ROC in Taiwan.
2.) Vietnam War happen because America becomes Paranoid of other Communist State in Asia that is near China that will be surely align with China and USSR.
But the one who make this Problem is the American themselves the root cause is abandonment of American to ROC in Chinese Civil War.
1.) They Fucking forced ROC to ceasefire and negotiate peace with CCP when ROC forces has Finaly cornered Communist Forces in Manchuria giving Breathing Room the Communist Forces and Time to Re-Arm , Re-Supply and Re-Align there Troops .
2.) Also America Limit the Military Aid too ROC because KMT Goverment don't want to form Coalition Goverment with CCP which the Americans Stupidly Pushing while CCP is Continiously Aided by USSR in the whole Civil War Happening also KMT knew that CCP is not really interested in Forming Coalition Goverment between them because Communist only goal is to Rule Alone Undemocratically.
The amphibious assault on Dong Shan Island has been considered an attack to draw the attention of the PLA away from Korea.
FYI, the Civil War RE-erupted after WW II.
"Saving face," is another term for "lying to save one's reputation."
It's just propaganda.
When your side decides to not shoot it's called "deescalation," "humanitarianism," "achieving objective," etc. When the enemy decides to not shoot, it's called "weakness," "indecisiveness," "saving face," "running out of resource," etc.
I loved the video.. but the map doesn't clearly show who is who.. the flag colors are to similar and small to notice
it is surprising to see how much control US had over Taiwan, effectively de-escalated the crisis. The same level of control is no longer there for other allies such as Israel today
Another great documentary. Thank you. I was unaware until now of the extent of American intervention between Taiwan and the mainland.
Unfortunately, you as many others do not accurately describe the differences between the nationalists and communists. Even those two names cloud the issue. This is to be somewhat forgiven as the various states of China in the early twentieth century were extremely complex.
At their beginning the Nationalists were quite socialistic with relatively minor differences between them and Mao's communists. But as time went on both groups morphed away from their original forms.
What is not talked about much is the effect of the various colonial powers on much of Asia, and how that influenced everyones reactions from Japan onwards. Even now the western world still has considerable influence in Asia and it's politics.
US marines went to Dongshan?
PRC used 150mm artillery? Hand me down German weapons? Only place I know of that produced 150mm artillery. 6:32
They were probably 152mm and 122mm, but just rounded down

hey so uuuuh that telegram sound effect is really obnoxious... tone down the sound effects a bit maybe
So komintang is the Original Government then outcast and overrun by the CCP😮😮
Taiwan have many missiles.
I would love to see a full history of Taiwan from pre Dutch Portuguese Spanish discovery, during the colonial settlement, being incorporated by the Chinese, then given to the Japanese, then given back to the Chinese and finally Taiwan being independent.
There are a few on youtube. And to be a pedant, Taiwan wasn't given back to China, the ROC unilaterally occupied it, and it isn't independent, it's the ROC.
@@Doochos Taiwan and South China Sea islets, both taken from the Qing dynasty by Japan and White colonials were returned to China following WWII, as stipulated by the Cairo Declaration.
@@kenh758 The declaration wasn't a legally binding treaty.
@@Doochos correct, the legal binding treaty is the Treaty of Taipei that was signed (between Republic of China and The Empire of Japan) hours before the Treaty of San Francisco, from which Japan renounced its colonial possessions. Neither chinas were represented at that treaty signing.
@kenh758 That wasn't legally binding either, and neither did it mention the transfer of Taiwan to the ROC. There is no documentation that legally transfers Taiwan to the ROC. Also, the Treaty of Taipei was signed a year after the Treaty of San Francisco.
That telegram noise is incredibly abrasive. Great video otherwise...
