Drew : the UK stood alone on 1940
Me : *angry Greek noises*
(Granted we only got involved on late October of 1940 and our contribution was.... minimal... but still we had the memeable smol W over Italy)
So how's tax evasion going?
He probably meant major power
Otherwise most of earth would be included too
@@Dutch_Man68I really like your new Prime minister, we're hoping to get one like him in the uk 🇬🇧❤🇳🇱
Not to start an argument but british troops kept the convoys to the ussr from being attacked, and d day would've been impossible without british ships
We Greeks have taken the first victory against Axis and gave Soviet Union just enough time to prepare .
Italy did very much to defeat Germany. Just by not getting sh*t done
Italian victory conditions in war only require for a germanic country to loose. Everything else is just bonus objectives.
I mean, the Mongols DID figure out the boat stuff. Building a feet of hundred of ships kinda means you did figure it out. They just had terrible luck with typhoons both times they tried.
They didnt figured out the weather
imagine mongol land success plus british naval success in one country
Rome also got caught in storms losing their entire fleet twice. Only difference was Carthage was a priority for Rome whereas the mongols couldn’t care wether or not they were in their empire
Nah, they didnt. Koreans build fleet for Mongols.
@@Bzhydack Then you kinda don't get the whole point of mongol meritocracy. They let people who know how to do stuff to do stuff. Also everyone gets equal share of the spoils.
Genghis was a proto-socialist, that's why he was so succesfull.

@ZNTPOfficerTelnice ok 3 year old kid wanting attention of mummy’s phone
3:13 it is accurate, russia obtained lands in central asia after they sold Alaska. These lands were ultimately larger than Alaska, making the larger than they ever were before
06:22 As a Dutchman I can confirm it was the Netherlands.
They did contribute a lot, I say it’s in the top 15.
Very bad contry
the Dutch would indeed probably choose either the Canadians or the Polish
8:53 slight correction the biggest desert is Antarctica.
I'm not saying you're wrong but pretty sure he meant the biggest hot desert
@@PrestigiousWarrior6500 nah, i think drew just forgot that antarctica is the largest desert
Plushie idea: British Empire plush, it would be 3x bigger than a jumbo plush
Eh, the British empire's flag ( at its peak in the 1920s )was the same as the current UK flag
@@PandaTheBot. nah the flag doesnt have the diagonal red lines 😃
@@WunYanHein no the diagonal red stripes were added when ireland got its independence and northern Ireland took its place (which was in the 1920s)
@@PandaTheBot. ok
Yeah,he would just make the UK countryball,but bigger (and it would cost like 100 dollars)
3:45 Spanish Empire at it's peak was 20,4 million square kilometres, so it was bigger than Qing
True, but I think the given date is wrong, as in 1810 Spain did not control the Netherlands or Italy anymore, as it is shown on the maps. The real date is maybe under Carlos V. as he was also Emperor of the HRE and ruler of Austria, Bohemia and Hungary. Or one other alternative is the Iberian Union around 1600 as a peak contender.
@@Echoak95and they gave Louisiana to France in 1802
The map is also wrong,we had till Alaska,in the Spanish wikipedia they used the correct map but still say 13.7 which is the map used by english wikipedia and this video
2:30 - _Nepal:_ *"Haha, I'm in danger! 😀"*
Spain>Quing dynasty
1:20 the magic word is "countries". Moctezuma had humans in his zoo too.
The UK: Peace out *disappears in tea* 0:39
Spanish empire had 20 millions km³ at their peak, it's bigger than qing china
1:25 that “random African country” is actually the Republic of the Congo, or “R Congo” as I call it
We'd never surrender!

USSR might of contribuate the most in WW2 but they took so much land(roughly 500k excluding satelites,2m including) that they become the country with most land got after a war in the whole history of humanity
07:52 The other country was the Netherlands.
7:06 they stood alone
meanwhile a quarter of the world angrily mumbling
look, its an empire, either they were forced by an oppressive power or they chose, they can't have both.
Another petition for Drew to make a Malta countryball plushie
To be fair, before 1943 I think the UK would be a very fair contender for the biggest contributor. And even then, convoy protection in the Atlantic, Indian Ocean, Mediterranean and Arctic Ocean was very dependent on the Royal Navy (which singlehandedly (although US lend lease escorts) defeated both the Geman and Italian Navy).
In the end maybe not the biggest contributor, but for the African and European theatre, a critical contributor.

@ZNTPOfficerTelnicedid we ask no okay f of
4:13 After WWI the southern part of the Ottoman empire as well as the German colonies were given mainly to the UK and France, which was the final extention to their respective territories. That is why they both peaked around 1920.

How is the spanish empire smaller than Quin Dynasty? I literally plus all the territories of both and nope, spanish are bigger. Realise that Spain had the 3/5 of usa
1:00 North Korea💀
6:16 I think you could the case that Italy contributed the most to the downfall of Germany.
By losing North Africa they essentially created another front to split German attention. At the first battle of El Alamein, Rommel’s advance was halted because the Italians could not deliver sufficient supplies. Then the panicked retreat of an Italian division led to the capture of a German signals company which was providing Rommel with key information from British radio communications.
The inability of Italy to control the seas led to the Atlantic wall which resulted in Germany not being able to send most of their forces to the eastern front. Resistance in Italian occupied Yugoslavia and Greece necessitated German help.
When the soviets counter attacked at Stalingrad the Italians and Romanians failed to hold the flanks which led to the German army’s encirclement. Then Italy’s early surrender significantly reduced the strength of forces on the eastern front.
Just before I saw this I was watching a short about empires
With out lend lease Moscow would have fallen in 1941. America played a dominant factor in both the Pacific, and European theatre’s. The USSR fought the biggest front, but did so with American industry.
Zhukov and Stalin have said that without lend lease, the USSR wouldn’t have been able to mount a counteroffensive, which would’ve starved the Soviet Union as they had just lost the Ukrainian farmlands
Hey I would like to mention as an Aussie who has been in Aussie schools and what not, Almost every map of “BrItAiNs TeRrItOrY At ItS PeAk” is wrong they all say 1920 or 1921 but Australia gained independence in 1901 and Canada fought as a seperate nation in ww1 so as far as I know it had independence aswell by the 1910’s
To explain if I didn’t make sense I would assume Canada and Australia make up enough territory the British couldn’t been at his peak without those huge territory
@@Historyandartenjoyer Canada and Australia are not independent to this day. Y'all swear allegiance to the British monarch.
I mean ok if that’s what u think but that’s kind of like saying that BRICS is one country because they all have a sworn alliance but I mean if that’s how you look at it that’s cool I guess
@@Historyandartenjoyer No, there is a staunch difference by swearing to a union and a monarch. You literally swear allegiance to the British Throne, which subsequently means you swear allegiance to the UK. And thats not a figure of speech or an exaggeration.
3:44 Ah yes, the Qing Dynasty in WW2.
3:14 my bet is it’s considering Central Asian protectorates only then being annexed into Russia proper which would’ve happened after Alaska.
1:22 switzerland had humal zoos too. They werent like stationary but they were for months there and big attractions. I had it in school
We Greeks have taken the first victory against Axis and gave Soviet Union just enough time to prepare . I hope we are the "other country" that they choose .

6:58 in my perspective the british were mainly there to hold off the Germans and give intellegence to the rest of the allies as well as call in their empire.
Bruh the Romans literally did sail everywhere on that map. They didn’t just hear of Indonesia, they literally sailed there. We have journals from the delegation that Rome sent to China.

02:27 this kinda mimics the Land Power vs Sea Power. During the cold war used to be the USA & USSR, before that could be the British vs Germans and French, in antiquity maybe the Greeks and Persians. Nowadays maybe the USA and China. Usually the Sea Power wins because it can trade and has easier reach

6:17 they could be choosing Canada, they did quite a lot near the end to defeat Germany, like liberating the Netherlands.
Or China
09:14 funny how the Romans knew these places makes kinda of an elongated shaped map... just like the Italian Peninsula
Denmark also had people from India, Japan, Africa and Kirgisistan displayed in zoos.
8:23 - Those 'other countries' surely have to be "Germany", right? 😂
The known world map of the Roman Empire is incorrect. They had an outpost in what’s now Tanzania (Raphta) and traded with African countries all the way south to the Gulf of Guinea, having trade route maps to show the way. They also knew about the Han Chinese, but had no maps of the area as far as I know. They also knew if the people further northeast of the Black Sea thru Pontic traders. They even knew the Nile poured out of a massive lake to the south.
It's Japan. Japan contributed the most to the no no German defeat
8:50 Beyond the Sahara lay lands filled with gold, ivory & slaves, which were the main export of the people living there. So it is indeed plausible for Roman trade network to go deep into Sahara desert.

6:02 France sabotage
I think the US had the biggest effect on WWII overall, including the Pacific theater, but I wouldn't say they had the biggest effect on the Germans.
8:46 It should reach to the Baltic Sea in today Poland, because Roman Merchants travel there to buy Amber.
11:17 Denmark did this too
USA send several thousands / millions of supplies to the UK & USSR before they even joined & after they joined. Weapons/vehicles/food
Petition for Drew to get a SPQR Roman Empire flag Day 216
I mean that poll about ww2 it’s literally the soviet union like they lost over 20 million people
Yet they would probably have lost if britain didn't stay in the war. The UK had much a reason to accept a peace agreement with germany(considering the defeat of the french) Britain staying in the war eventually led to the German downfall. If britain and the USSR weren't fighting the same enemy. Why do lend lease. Plus the 3 front war would change to a single front war against USSR had britain surrendered/accept a peace deal
However WW2 was also a combination of everyones effort against the germans. Resistance movements, Soviet and indian manpower, british resilience and intelligence and American industry and also man power(if America wanted to, it could have definitely brought hella lot more people to the war).
@@-._A2._- Nobody is saying the USSR could have done it alone, that's not the question. You're completely changing the narrative that he's going for with your platitudes. The question here is ''who did the most''. And that's the Soviets. Of course that's the Soviets. You're just frankly delusional if you choose anyone else than the Soviets. 80% of all German casualties were against the Soviets!
@@giantWario the very fact people defence for the USSR is how many people they lost says everything.
the question was what how much did they do.
the other defence is the percentage that died in the east, but 73% of german deaths was disease, infection, etc, and only 27% in direct combat.
and the USSR only faced around 50% of the entire Wehrmacht of WW2, not the what? 90% some claim?
@@bigenglishmonkey I really don't know where you got that 50% from but that's just blatantly false. 75 to 80% of the Wehrmacht were in the East at all time. Because obviously, how would the German lose 80% of their men in the East if they didn't have 80% of their men on the Eastern Front? Seriously, where did you get that number exactly?
Being sent to the Western Front was like being sent on vacation for German soldiers. That tells you everything. And yes, while it definitely wasn't 73% (once again, no idea where you got those blatantly false numbers from) a lot of them died to diseases, infections and famine. *Just like every soldiers in every war ever fought!*
And to turn this around for a bit, the fact that the USA fanboys always bring in the land-lease when the land-lease wasn't even 5% of all the USSR equipment says it all. For example, yes the US did sent 5000 tanks to the USSR. Meanwhile, the USSR built around *120 000* tanks in WW2. Yeah sorry but it really didn't make as big of an impact as you think.
@@giantWario But you have to subtract Soviet help to Germans. If you send someone resources so they can build a tank, and then you blow up the tank, your net contribution to war effort is 0.
They helped to defeat Poland, so German military was saved from additional casualties.
They attacked Romania, Baltic states and Finland, which granted Germany more allies they would otherwise had.
They completely screwed with UK naval blockade which was supposed to starve Germany of resources like oil, and cripple their economy. Just like in ww1. By supplying Germans, they kept them in fighting condition.
They helped Germany to circumvent Versailles treaty restrictions on banned weapons, which they tested in Soviet union.
Also ‘who did most casualties’ is pretty tricky metric. By that metric Ukraine currently did 100% war effort against Russia, which would completely disregarded the foreign aid, which keeps them alive.
7:47 I feel like Canada is so underrated, they fought in D-day, captured the fastest, allied so much with the US, saved the Netherlands in there time of need, etc.
Canada would be counted as British
@@bestleefboi Fair point, they were under the Brits at the time and hadn’t gotten there independence.
Whos ready for the British empire country ball
It's really ridiculous to not pick the Sovjet Union in this poll. The whole western world is just too much influenced by US propaganda through films and games. Quite obvious if you look at the poll in France in 1945 before all the propaganda started. All the "big" battles in the west like the invasion of Normandy and other famous ones pale in comparison to what was going on on the eastern front on a near daily basis from 1943 to 1945. It's just that no one ever makes a big flashy movie out of it.
You want to suck up to the Soviet Union so hard even when it doesn’t agree with what you’re saying

when it comes to doing the most to defeat germany if you take this as proportion of effort to possible total one it would be either yugoslavia or poland. If you look at nominal investment it would be soviets, and then us. If you would look at time multiplied by effect it would be prbbly britain
