@gregzeigler3850 I beg pardon, i meant the US took profit from WWI and WWII. But the US was after the end of WWII too weak to influence the political situation in China. The Chinese civil war between Mao and Chiang Kai-shek, beginning 1927, ended 1949 and the result of the Korean war ended with a stalemate. Here we see the start of the US decline as the leading world power from it's beginning. In 1978 Deng Xiaoping took over and created the current China (& the entire far east), which dislodges the US and the entire West, as you decribed it. The imperialistic thinking of US policies, inherited from the Brits, led to the expensive expansion of the military complex. 800 US overseas bases against one of China in Djibouti, (Britain still 16), charges the taxpayers a lot, and the US charges the entire planet with indirect taxes, enforcing the planet to buy the worthless Petrol-$. Your president Donald Trump is the first one in Oval Office who understands, that the US policy of military threats (for centuries) is over, already a long time. And he tries to counter China in the right way to support the own economy outside the military complex.

@tarn1135 still in the 60s black people had not any chance to become an officer in the US Army. In the evil Waffen SS everyone, anyway which heritage, could become an officer. Drach offered the info in the vid and we debated already. The Royal Navy started anti-slavery action in 1803 and it ended in the 1860s. In this time John Company replaced the slavery business with the opium trade and enforced China to accept it. The Royal Navy waged 2 opium wars,1838-42 and 1856-60. The enforced opium consumption produced around 20 Mio. dead victims, China suffered eminently. The Brits took over Burma, the US under Perry enforced Japan for trade-opportunities, and the French captured Indochine from the Chinese by war. A French commodore or rear-admiral did it, if i remember correctly. Would be an interesting vid on Drach's channel, the late conquer of Asia and the concerning maritime actions. To spend the Royal Navy a free ticket for being the good guys is nonsense. Royal Navy officers and other European partners as Germany during those opium wars and other conflicts, were war-criminals, although German colonial policy invested more money than to receive it. But war is war. In such a debate people like us often forget the European situation. Frederik II of Prussia was the first national leader who abandoned serfdom on the King's properties after the 7-years-war. France did it 1789, Britain 1849, Russia did officially late in the 1861s and Brasil in the 1880s.

@deankruse2891 Britain was liberal in Britain for the upper - and small middle-class, of course, but not the empire. Do you think the Empress of India was elected? I make not a real difference between feudalism and fascism. Drach is teaching us about RN action against slavery between around 1803 and 1863. But in Europe the first guy who forbade serfdom was Frederik the Great after the 7-years-war on Prussian royal properties. In Britain we had remains of serfdom till 1850. Prussia started in 1717 the project of compuslory education, with the success in 1816 of 60% registered students. Britain, at least, started compulsory education in 1914. About the US is to say, they are/were structured as the Republican Roman Empire. For US citizens (comparable to Roman citizens) it was a democracy till corps were allowed to refinance election campaigns, what means the US are in the process to become an oligarchy as their western partners, too. For non-US-citizens, as the West-Indians till 1903, the US are a fascist state with the business model of permanent war of aggression. With the exception of the British-US-war of 1812, the US soil was never attacked by foreign invaders, but the US were permanently attacking others. From the historical point of view, Trump was an exception, he was one of the most peaceful presidents of the US ever, except small gifts to the hardliners as the execution of the Iranian general Soleimani and 80 Tomahawks targeting the Syrian desert. But Trump is over, the fascist warmongers are back.

@rhedges9631 When Vanguard was dismasted in a storm, which brought Brueys out of Toulon-harbour, he was already vice-admiral an not responsable for the accident. Nelson got as the same good education as any other officer in the RN. That he was a good leader might be correct, but most times he led into desasters. That the French forces were competent is a thesis without any evidence. The idiot Brueys, anchoring at Aboukir with his battle-fleet, sent half of his crews to land to fetch water, knowing, that Nelson was searching for him. So during the battle, the Frenchie man'o'wars fought with half crews, lucky Nelson. The next thing, the Frenchies anchored only at the bow-anchors, too lazy to set a spring. And even the bonehead Villeneuve did not ordered springs during the battle, to bring the broadsides of 2 ships to bear, crossing the T of the Brits. If this "competent" idiot would have done it, Neslon's fleet would had been sunk in 2 hours. Before Trafalger Villeneuve sailed to the Carribean and back without training battle-formations? The franco-spanish "line" at Trafalgar was a pharce. After Calder stopped Villeneuve at Finesterre, why he did not sailed to Brest? An admiral who is not willing to destroy the enemy should give his commission away.

@gregzeigler3850 of course, Trumpi is right. But he is the first in 240 years, who sense it, away from the war-businnes-model. In Korea the air force suffered under the MiG alley. And you are right again, the US have 3 foreign departments, the foreign office, the CIA and the military and all 3 wage war against each other, so funny our US friends. To nuke Hanoi it is a bit of a problem. You had nothing lost there, whether in Germany, nor in Cuba, nor in Mexico, nor in Canada, nor on the Philippines, nor elsewhere. Go home.

@MrLinkkid we have reports from German generals (most famous Liman von Sanders, who organized the defense of Galipoli) about the Turkish genocide against Armenians. You mean Tutsies and Hutus. Historically Africa is full of tribal conflicts, check Kongo (the civil war about cobalt). More than 1 Mio. Europeans were enslaved by Arabs & Turks. The point is, most Europeans lived in serfdom, not a big difference to slavery. Frederik the Great of Prussia was the first european leader (King), who abondoned serfdom after the 7-years-war (1756-63). In Britain were regions using serfdom till 1850. So, what i have to admit, is, that most of the european nobles, who led or lead a state or empire, were Germans. British Queen Elisabeth II is german, too.
