Here's a little fun fact. Harry S Truman's middle name was S. he didn't have a middle name when he got into office, and one of his political friends said he should get one.
Hitler made sure to borrow as much money as possible in order to modernize his army. By 1939 Germany was again on the verge of economical collapse as its debt was 200% of its GDP, however, it started the war and pillaged the occupied countries.
Kras hitler simply stopped paying debt then loant allot to build an army, since France England didnt have a real army anymore because of WW 1 they couldnt do much to stop him which is why they used appeasement
Bullshit. Our entire civilization was build around wars. Scientific discovery sped up enormously during wars. The very first cities appeared because it was easier to protect yourself against outsiders when you are large in numbers and behind a high wall.

WW2 was partly caused by France's greed through the Treaty of Versailles, which sow the seeds of revenge in Germany. Ridiculously, they couldn't even have won the war if America (& Britain) didn't help them. Now, under the veil of Franco-German amity, they "force" some part of Germany to build bilingual French-German school, while such schools hardly exist on the French side of the border.

***** Well yes, but considering it was not only the most significant battle of WW2, but also the most bloody and influential battle in the history of mankind, certainly more important than the D-day landings, you would think it would be touched on at least for a few moments.
You forgot something. The Soviets invading Romania, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. Also you didn't describe fascism really well, with the real definition of facism, Stalin was also a fascist and Hitler was just as socialist as Stalin was and they were both equally cruel. Also you forgot to mention the cruelty within the red army, shooting at their own people, the NKVD. And one more fact: The germans actually also found something cruel left by the russians in eastern Poland(occupied by Russia) the Katryn massacre. Also the west european countries were freed, but the east european were still occupied by Russia until the end of the cold war. And the allies betrayed Poland in defending it.
***** The soviets never invaded Romania. Romania invaded the USSR with the germans. Seriously, learn history. And yeah the soviets did crimes, but the germans did worse and now that i think of it you are probably just a german trying to make the soviets look bad and forgeting about your own crimes.
I think you'll find that the question mark can be used in that example as well as the full stop, as you're asking a question but you can also be stating it
You referred to the bombs as nuclear, although they were actually atomic. It's almost the same, with both releasing radiation. The difference is that atomic bombs destroy particles, hence the complete anhialation and levelling of Kiroshima(?) And Nagasaki. The Nuclear bomb leaves higher radiation, hence why the city of chnobble (spelling?) Is most likely uninhabitable for the next 10,000-25,000 years.
some say the hitler war was world war 3, world war 2 was the one fought between 1914-18 and world war one was the seven year war fought between 1754-63
This is a LIFE saver. I've got a lesson to teach in one of my Ed courses on Friday and was frantically trying to figure out how to review WW2 in less than 10 minutes!
Ivan Fesik not just the russians but all people of the ussr many tatars Kazakhs and Caucasians fought in the battle and mainly the nigoy due to there closeness to Volgograd
Poland invaded Russia first. Russia took back Russian land. Poland joined the Anti-Soviet Crusade where the capitalist nations teamed together to try and destroy communism. but they failed, they only took away Soviet land and enslaved the people who could have lived free under the Soviet Union. Stalin and his advisers made the choice to defend the Soviet Union by retaking the land to use for the upcoming war against fascism.
I think two points should be corrected/ mentioned: 1. Germany and Russia invaded Poland together and divided it up brotherly. France and Britain (that guaranteed the independence of Poland) declared war to germany only. 2. Germany and Italy formed the Axis. Japan joined later.
Yeah, it should have been at the very LEAST been two videos for each theater (maybe another for North Africa and Italy). This video kind of did a disservice to everyone who lost their lives, from all countries involved, in the Pacific. Not to mention what led to the decision to drop the bombs. As far as I know, it didn't go from Pearl Harbor to Nagasaki.
MAXZONE47 Or the Battle of Stalingrad, one of the famous battles ever, with almost 2 million casualties. And though, that's when the Russians started to push back the Germans, Romanians, Hungarians, Italians, and Croatians.
Άκης Τσιδαρ Actually in 1956 the Soviets and Japanese signed the *Soviet - Japanese Joint Declaration of 1956* ,which brought an official end to their war.
+Zachary Anthony Not taking sides but it was not the civilians that attacked Pearl Harbour or committed atrocities during their invasion of other nations. Yet it was them who payed for it.
***** The war could not have ended via a invasion of Japan. Sure civilians would have still died however I would imagine significantly less. Also After a quick lookup Operation Unthinkable seems to be Britain planning a invasion of the Soviet Union after WWII by recruiting ex Nazi soldiers to drive them back out of Europe?
World war one was started by the Austrian invasion of Serbia due to the assasination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. So in reality, it could be seen as the austrians fault
Youre right, but i have a question. Would you shoot 1000 people and they would die instantly, or kill 500 people in one of the most inhumane ways possible? (I know that the deathcount was higher and i also agree with you)
Im personally of the opinion that it was only the wrong thing to do if the total casualties on both sides were lower than those lost from the bombs. Somewhere around 250k lives were lost from the bombings. Projections put the loss of life a lot higher than that, and there would have likely been civilian casualties as well. There would have certainly been fewer children killed, but soldiers werent all old men or anything. The average age of a US soldier was only 26, so many were younger than that. At what point do we draw the line and say that the lives of countless soldiers are not worth the lives of far fewer civilians? After all, a soldier's life lost in combat is still a life in combat. So, as I said, so long as the death toll would have been greater, I believe it was the right choice. Naturally, we will never know for sure, but projections at the time lead the men in charge to believe that it wouldve been much higher. Look at the battle of berlin. around 150-200k killed and another 500k left wounded. It would not have been any easier, due to the dangers of beach landings.
***** Thats a good point. But im personally against nuclear weapons, because if they get in to the wrong hands or if someone fucks up millions, maybe even billions could die. But i agree with you on this.
After the surrender of Germany, Japan had installed a national militia. This means, that every citizen was expected to fight. You see, the Japanese fought to the last man. If you were a Japanese soldier coming home from a lost battle, you were openly encouraged to commit suicide. The Japanese would've done everything they could to stop the allies from their invasion, and wouldn't stop until the allies had set foot of every square inch of Japanese ground. They didn't care if there wasn't a single citizen left. Dropping the bombs was undoubtedly the best option, it would've caused the least bloodshed and wasn't really "inhumane."
I don't recall hearing that we killed 5 million Japanese people in the "similar camps". I don't recall hearing we starved the Japanese people in the "similar" camps. Was there forced labor in those "similar camps"? No? I guess what it comes down to you being full of shit when you call the camps similar. Sorry to kill your revisionist bleeding heart liberal history,
Just found this channel! Brilliant informative and funny video! For sure subbing, after watching "Darkest Hour" I wanted to refresh my WW2 knowledge 😂10/10 though, I'm gonna make revision cards with these pics, thanks!
fart on the way Germany Conquered Poland, and then Russia claimed eastern Poland. The Molotov-Ribbentrop pact meant that Russia would get eastern Poland, after Germany conquered.
MABUS SUBAM Because the Soviets didn't invade, the Germans just gave Poland to them. The Germans invaded, so the allies declared war on them. The Soviets just got Poland, they didn't invade
Thats not true when you show that Finland is part of Nazi. Russian attacked first to Finland but Finnish mans defended it from them. German helped Finland.
Daniel Vogels Finland joined Axis prettymuch towards the end of the winterwar, after that Finland tried to take back whats their. It turned out to be an unnessesary conflict.
actually after the battle of peleiu after Americans saw high casualties during the battle they decided it was best not to invade Japan in order not to see such a massacre of American soldiers lives
he just want some more land because of the treaty of versailles. now, they can't have 100,000+ troops, no troops on the Rhinelands. bordering france. so they decided to invade poland
Because Hitler was wanting to conquer Russia at long term. Because Hitler take Napoleon as idol, and he say "Napoleon couldnt do it, but i will." And Poland was sharing frontier with Russian's Hitler took Poland and make roads in Poland for his army to go fast to Russia from Berlin.
Translation: British Prime Minister: WHAT THE FUCK DID I JUST SAY? Adolf: We're attacking LOLOLOLOLOLOLO British Prime Minister: FUCK THIS SHIT IM OUT.
I love your videos! I do have one nitpick: referring to the Soviet Union as Russia. Russia is just one part of the Soviet Union, there were 14 other republics! This is like like referring to the United States as California. In addition while most Soviets who died in the war were Russians, they made up less than 50% of total Soviet casualties. What about all the Belarusians, the Ukrainians, Georgians, Uzbeks, Turkmen, Azeri, ect ect???? The USSR was as ethnically diverse as America is, lets not forget that. Thanks.
Hi John, Happy New Year! Well summarized but one significant event that should be mentioned was that the Soviet Union sided with the Germans as it invaded the Eastern side of Poland 16 days after Germany had invaded the Western side - followed by the invasion of Finland by the Soviet Army. It is only when Hitler launched Operation Barbarossa (invasion of the Soviet Union) that Stalin "joined" the Western Allies. Ciao, L

The Nuclear bomb leaves higher radiation, hence why the city of chnobble (spelling?) Is most likely uninhabitable for the next 10,000-25,000 years.
"WW3 hasn't happened yet" It will soon if you catch my drift
nah it won't trust me.....
I don't think Trump is a good president but I don't think he's THAT bad
the GBO gamer but some of the countries aren't getting along so there is a possibility
The cause of ww3 which will either be this year or next will be North Korea
KhalidSmile93 Are you fuckin stupid?
Remember watching this years ago, great video!
World war 3:
America: lol i have to many bombs *bombs North Korea*
N. Korea: ...
*then the whole world started to fight*
AlternateWorlds Lol and then... World: why are we this dumb? *war stops* and it lasted 1 hour.
Mr.Corn's Worlds not sure how that would result in a world war
No one would jump to the side of the northern Koreans
The_anti-rabid-brony China would.
And then out of nowhere BRICS attack
White Porl naw China only helped the first time because they feared that we would push our advance and take over China, not anymore
Actually, it would be the other way around.. judging by how North Korea acts.
I loved the ww1 video and this video is no letdown. Make a video on the Japanese invasion of China during ww2?
some say the hitler war was world war 3, world war 2 was the one fought between 1914-18 and world war one was the seven year war fought between 1754-63

This is a LIFE saver. I've got a lesson to teach in one of my Ed courses on Friday and was frantically trying to figure out how to review WW2 in less than 10 minutes!
No mention of Stalingrad, eh? That "Irish air corridor" is surely so important to be mentioned, but not the biggest battle ever...
That is the saddest battle in history. But a huge victory for the Russians
***** It doesn't matter. It is mentioned in other places.
Ivan Fesik not just the russians but all people of the ussr many tatars Kazakhs and Caucasians fought in the battle and mainly the nigoy due to there closeness to Volgograd
This is the worst 7 minutes ever.
The guy didn't even explain how Poland got invaded by both Germany and Russia at the same freaking time.
It's mentioned visually here.
th-cam.com/video/wvDFsxjaPaE/w-d-xo.htmlm2s
Poland invaded Russia first. Russia took back Russian land. Poland joined the Anti-Soviet Crusade where the capitalist nations teamed together to try and destroy communism. but they failed, they only took away Soviet land and enslaved the people who could have lived free under the Soviet Union. Stalin and his advisers made the choice to defend the Soviet Union by retaking the land to use for the upcoming war against fascism.
злые кубики льда that was russian territory, poland take it in the 20,, most of that territory is today's bielorrusia, so nope
that is what I said.
:)
This is called "world war 2 in 7 minutes", not, "highly detailed events before world war 2"
War is not good in anyway, no countries are good in war , so stop comparing them and spreading hate
+Sai Ashwin The truest words I've heard in a long time!!!! :)

Solaris de Tämir bro,i am not talking about the video, its about the comments
+Sai Ashwin I see, sorry fam.
+TheDarkLord joined in late in both wars...Russia killed 80% of the nazis btw
I think two points should be corrected/ mentioned:
1. Germany and Russia invaded Poland together and divided it up brotherly. France and Britain (that guaranteed the independence of Poland) declared war to germany only.
2. Germany and Italy formed the Axis. Japan joined later.
Franco you good?
*Spainsh Civil War*
Oh...
You kind of short changed the war in the pacific and Asia.
That's what I was thinking! Japan basically dominated South East Asia and got so far as bombing Australia and that wasn't mentioned.
Yeah, it should have been at the very LEAST been two videos for each theater (maybe another for North Africa and Italy). This video kind of did a disservice to everyone who lost their lives, from all countries involved, in the Pacific. Not to mention what led to the decision to drop the bombs. As far as I know, it didn't go from Pearl Harbor to Nagasaki.
+Gabriel Pan ...Who even cares about Australia? People there don't care about Australia!
The biggest part of the war took place in Europe.
Wrong.
just baying but you missed a huge chunk of battles in asia
Kenneth Huang I was about to say I'm suprised he didn't mention Singapore where 100,000 allied soldiers were surrounded
MAXZONE47 Or the Battle of Stalingrad, one of the famous battles ever, with almost 2 million casualties. And though, that's when the Russians started to push back the Germans, Romanians, Hungarians, Italians, and Croatians.
Kenneth Huang It's a 7 minute video.
It's a 7 minute video he's just touching the subjects
+Chorneful Builds he mentioned that
Who's here before World War 3
I like the animations
japan actually surrendered only to the usa so between russia and japan the world war 2 is still on no fighting though
Yeah true, they both dispute ownership over the Kuril Islands so no formal peace treaty has been reached. Doubt they'll kick off again soon though
Chøy Sa Kantø what about general Philippe Leclerc who was representative of France on USS Missouri
True except they didn't surrender to Soviet Union now Russia Japan wanted the they islands it got in the Russo Japanese war
It was on war with USSR not Russia, so technically the WW2 ended on 1991.
Άκης Τσιδαρ Actually in 1956 the Soviets and Japanese signed the *Soviet - Japanese Joint Declaration of 1956* ,which brought an official end to their war.
I think it was necessary, because it was time to like tell the Japanese that the war ended and it was time to stop.
and it started the new era of warfare
Yeah really.
+Zachary Anthony Not taking sides but it was not the civilians that attacked Pearl Harbour or committed atrocities during their invasion of other nations. Yet it was them who payed for it.
***** Well the US did have a choice who died in that situation and they chose the civilians of Japan.
***** The war could not have ended via a invasion of Japan. Sure civilians would have still died however I would imagine significantly less. Also After a quick lookup Operation Unthinkable seems to be Britain planning a invasion of the Soviet Union after WWII by recruiting ex Nazi soldiers to drive them back out of Europe?
I love the way it is animated

Damn Austrians causing 2 world wars
Edit:holy crap this is the highest amount of likes I’ve ever gotten
Well, it was the Allies who made Germany sign that stupid treaty in the first place
World war one was started by the Austrian invasion of Serbia due to the assasination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. So in reality, it could be seen as the austrians fault
Austria got threatened to join Germany
*H A L T* ww2
*H A L T* the nazi were sent into Austria to threaten the public to vote to join or they would be killed

You shouldn’t joke about the bombing, it could be offensive to some people.
@@leonerobbins9130 YOU SEEM LIKE THAT ONE COMMENTER THAT ALWAYS HATES PEOPLE WHO JOKE AROUND ABOUT WAR, STALINOTGLAD
@Leone Robbins Have you ever heard of jokes Karen?
Yeah, its wrong to use atomic bombs in my opinion...
Youre right, but i have a question. Would you shoot 1000 people and they would die instantly, or kill 500 people in one of the most inhumane ways possible? (I know that the deathcount was higher and i also agree with you)
Im personally of the opinion that it was only the wrong thing to do if the total casualties on both sides were lower than those lost from the bombs. Somewhere around 250k lives were lost from the bombings. Projections put the loss of life a lot higher than that, and there would have likely been civilian casualties as well. There would have certainly been fewer children killed, but soldiers werent all old men or anything. The average age of a US soldier was only 26, so many were younger than that. At what point do we draw the line and say that the lives of countless soldiers are not worth the lives of far fewer civilians? After all, a soldier's life lost in combat is still a life in combat. So, as I said, so long as the death toll would have been greater, I believe it was the right choice. Naturally, we will never know for sure, but projections at the time lead the men in charge to believe that it wouldve been much higher.
Look at the battle of berlin. around 150-200k killed and another 500k left wounded. It would not have been any easier, due to the dangers of beach landings.
Yeah, it's better to keep fighting with soldiers, tanks, artillery and bombers. That totally isn't wrong.
***** Thats a good point. But im personally against nuclear weapons, because if they get in to the wrong hands or if someone fucks up millions, maybe even billions could die. But i agree with you on this.
After the surrender of Germany, Japan had installed a national militia. This means, that every citizen was expected to fight.
You see, the Japanese fought to the last man. If you were a Japanese soldier coming home from a lost battle, you were openly encouraged to commit suicide.
The Japanese would've done everything they could to stop the allies from their invasion, and wouldn't stop until the allies had set foot of every square inch of Japanese ground. They didn't care if there wasn't a single citizen left.
Dropping the bombs was undoubtedly the best option, it would've caused the least bloodshed and wasn't really "inhumane."
Really great video! At 3:40, I think you forgot that Newfoundland wasn't apart of Canada yet! Thanks!
Idk why but I can't imagine what the Swiss were thinking when they were completely surrounded by axis territory

holay shet yor right
You forget to add that we put japanese people in similair camps
I don't recall hearing that we killed 5 million Japanese people in the "similar camps". I don't recall hearing we starved the Japanese people in the "similar" camps. Was there forced labor in those "similar camps"? No?
I guess what it comes down to you being full of shit when you call the camps similar. Sorry to kill your revisionist bleeding heart liberal history,
And the fact that the Brittish invented the camps in South Africa.
I enjoyed the Canadian easter eggs in the video :)
Oh yay! Someone read them, as opposed to the standard "Canada was in the war too you know!!!" Thanks :D
We do have a bit of an inferiority complex, but can you blame us? The neighbours are so noisy haha :)

You literally covered nothing about the 2nd Sino-Japanese war going on in Asia during WWII before America got involved
I know. I hope to do a whole video on that at some point. Thanks

Why didn't Britain declare war on the USSR they also invaded poland?
fart on the way Germany Conquered Poland, and then Russia claimed eastern Poland. The Molotov-Ribbentrop pact meant that Russia would get eastern Poland, after Germany conquered.
shammywizard Doesn't explain the reasoning why allies didn't declare war on USSR
MABUS SUBAM Because the Soviets didn't invade, the Germans just gave Poland to them. The Germans invaded, so the allies declared war on them. The Soviets just got Poland, they didn't invade
shammywizard I'd like to hear polish people opinion of that one, it was two way front in the end, soviets also invaded non-allie countries too. >_>
_The Soviets just got Poland, they didn't invade_
Of course they invaded. More than half a million troops deployed!
Thats not true when you show that Finland is part of Nazi. Russian attacked first to Finland but Finnish mans defended it from them. German helped Finland.
PatU Finland was axis-alligned in its first war against the soviets. and they signed the anti-comintern pact in 1941.
Daniel Vogels Finland joined Axis prettymuch towards the end of the winterwar, after that Finland tried to take back whats their. It turned out to be an unnessesary conflict.
Then Finland, along with the Germans, lost to the Soviets
Do the Cold War!
He can not do the cold war because its not over yet...
The Cold War finished in 1991 on the Soviet Union crush
Do the Korean war
enderman Slender Don't pretend like it's really over.
Shit's still going on between Russia and 'murica.
Blaackys It sorta is over because we had trouble with the USSR or SOVIET UNION not RUSSIA. Two different countries.
Thank you for not denying the Holocaust in 5:19 it means a lot to me
Didn't mention Canada ,India,China , Greece, Yugoslavia,Finland, Bulgaria,Romania and Vishi France.
"World War 2 in 7 Minutes" not "World War 2 in 30 Minutes"
actually after the battle of peleiu after Americans saw high casualties during the battle they decided it was best not to invade Japan in order not to see such a massacre of American soldiers lives
also the Americans decided to hold their position on the Rhine rather than attack Berlin and the Red Army wanted to do the honors of attacking Berlin
Usa is racist
Axe and Shield just a little missed up. Thanks
Educational, factional, and well drawn. Keep up the great work.
Thank you very much for spreading historical awareness!
No stalingrad?
Why not tell us why Germany Invaded Poland exactly?
because they are European
Europeans like to conquer things
he just want some more land because of the treaty of versailles.
now, they can't have 100,000+ troops, no troops on the Rhinelands. bordering france. so they decided to invade poland
they invaded Austria-Hungary Czechoslowakia before and made it their property..u forgot that
Germany said "Gib Gdansk and muh leibensraum"
Poland said "Nyet"
Germany said "Ja" and invaded Poland
Because Hitler was wanting to conquer Russia at long term. Because Hitler take Napoleon as idol, and he say "Napoleon couldnt do it, but i will." And Poland was sharing frontier with Russian's Hitler took Poland and make roads in Poland for his army to go fast to Russia from Berlin.
WTF ! What about Kokoda! The Australians held back the Japanese from getting to Australia!

I love your videos! I do have one nitpick: referring to the Soviet Union as Russia. Russia is just one part of the Soviet Union, there were 14 other republics! This is like like referring to the United States as California. In addition while most Soviets who died in the war were Russians, they made up less than 50% of total Soviet casualties. What about all the Belarusians, the Ukrainians, Georgians, Uzbeks, Turkmen, Azeri, ect ect???? The USSR was as ethnically diverse as America is, lets not forget that. Thanks.
Thanks! Ill know this for the future! Thanks :)
No, Russia is the successor of the Soviet Union. every Soviet accomplishment and treaty was given to Russia.
Who saw the list of video games at 4:58? Very brief just saying
Hi John, Happy New Year! Well summarized but one significant event that should be mentioned was that the Soviet Union sided with the Germans as it invaded the Eastern side of Poland 16 days after Germany had invaded the Western side - followed by the invasion of Finland by the Soviet Army. It is only when Hitler launched Operation Barbarossa (invasion of the Soviet Union) that Stalin "joined" the Western Allies. Ciao, L
That’s in my updated version ;)
