The Harlem Hellfighters were the first Americans to see combat. The 369th entered the combat trenches on April 15, 1918 under the French - more than a month before the American Expeditionary Forces' first major battle. ❤
im not sure if youve done it, but this same page also did a 4 part history on the campaign of aleander the great. . prolly the pages best work in my opinion. . def a great watch
Worth mentioning, after the first day of the somme, the british army heavily altered its command structure, placing more generals on the ground to adapt plans to changing conditions. Its part of why britain lost 78 generals during the war with 146 wounded. Stormtrooper tactics enhanced this idea further independantly.
You must know that Alsace - Lorraine was lost by France in 1871 with enormous financial reparation German occupation of France since the repayment.... as a frenchman I have never heard of French dismantling any installation there as it was part of France at that time. Maybe you are confusing with the Sarre valley? I suggest you watch some conference of Margaret MacMillan to understand the stakes and the unfolding of the great war 👍
10:28 From what I remember off hand (I will edit this comment later if I am wrong); the Americans landed in Arkhangelsk. Edit: I am half wrong, the United States sent two separate interventions, one to Siberia to attempt to save the Czechoslovak Legion that landed at Vladivostok; the second was AEF, North Russia which landed at Arkhangelsk.
17:45 Not to mention the eventual Occupation of the Ruhr from 1923 to 1925; which is another French intervention into Germany which truly stroke the flames and added to the humiliation of Germany by France.
This occupation is related to the bad faith of Germany which refused to pay its war indemnities. France paid every cent of its indemnity after 1871. German industry suffered very few during the First World War whereas 85% of the Belgian one and 30% or the French one were destroyed.
Isn't that what he actually meant to talk about, while mistaking the region for Alsace-Lorraine ? After the war Alsace-Lorraine wasn't in Germany, and apart from making the Germans that settled there after 1870 leave, I don't see what he was talking about. It wasn't like occupying Germany, there were tensions (even violence) between the people in Alsace and the rest of Germany during the German period. They didn't feel more German than French, most of what I've read even suggest the opposite.
Alsace-Lorraine is a strange place and has been for hundreds of years....the people are ethnically are Germans & have a lot of German names but mostly speak French....I could be wrong but I believe I remember this from school.
Nah. It is French for almost 4 centuries. Ethnically means nothing. It was linked to the HRE , but HRE and Germany are two different things. Alsace and Lorraine were French before Germany was even a thing.
Complete nonsense, in the few direct engagements involving the red army during the intervention, allied troops routed the reds. They just didn't have the commitment to keep the troops deployed there.
You make a mistake. Liberation of Alsace Lorraine was fine, you mean the occupation of Sarre in German territory and it was not harsh since German didn't pay the reparations.
@@ConkerVonZap you're probably right about Bulgaria, but I still stand by my point about the Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman Empires were multi-ethnic Empire. More over the austro-hungarian Empire than the Ottomans, mostly because the Ottomans dismantling was more because Britain and France couldn't keep their imperialistic you-know-what in their pants. So I guess I can probably rephrase my comments to more along the lines of " the austro-hungarian empire was dismantled due to its multi-ethnic nature and the desire of many to see an end of such an Institu. While the ottoman Empires demise came mostly due to Britain and Frances imperialistic desires of controlling the Middle East." I hope that is better
@@reygonzalez4719 The Ottoman empire would have been dismantled anyway, the difference is that in place of the french zone and british zone, you would have just had one or several Arab states (and of course an Armenian state, as in our actual history). There was literally no reason to let the Ottomans get away. Not even counting the Armenian genocide (1.5M), the pontic Greek massacres (500K) and the Assyrian massacres (500K). Of course they would have been dismantled. The Franco-British greed is something that came on top of that.
Alexander the Great next and finish the Napoleon series with the videos on his marshals
agreed .. the alexander series was prolly his best

17:10 it was the Saar that was occupied and had it’s industry dismantled not Alsace Lorraine

@@freewal That is true, I am just pointing out another national blow that was leveraged for power later on.

The American intervention in the Russian civil war is also known as the Polar Bear Expedition
God the World War 1 series was great. But adding your commentary it's even better because it's so nice to have a European perspective of the war.

@@freewal Ethnicity does not mean nothing.
The US Army did participate in the North Russia Intervention, but it was a failure by the superior Red Army
The US barely had anyone in Russia.

The Americans came in at the exact right time. Better late than never I guess.
Germans split the British and French line if the Americans aren't there to fill the gap.
Is there a ww2 version of this?
No
Sooo, we can celebrate Christmas now?

React too the Suez Crisis part 1 and 2 by epic history TV
Leave it to an American to rush in when he should have just stayed put for another minute.
What can we say we're overachievers
:)
First
why germany was the only major power that wasn't dismantle? destroy all Bismarck work.
Well Bulgaria wasn't dismantle either but I believe it's because all the other Central Powers were multi-ethnic Empires.
@@reygonzalez4719 Well , Tbh Bulgaria wasn't a major power.
