I'm 15 seconds into this video, and I'm already hooked. Here's why
1) He gets right in. No "click the bell subscribe blah blah." He doesn't waste our time. He doesn't even introduce himself. He figures (correctly) that if we like how he teaches, we'll take the time to figure out who he is:
2) He uses no overt political jargon that gives away his political bent. He clearly wants to teach, not indoctrinate. He delves right into his topic and doesn't do some useless "in this video, I'll cover. . " Yes, well, if we like the video, we'll find out what he covers, won't we? So he simply starts teaching. This is the hallmark of a confident teacher who actually has something to say.
3) His backdrop. It is interesting enough to be engaging, but not distracting. He uses the Art-Deco theme of the era he's covering (as well as his clothing) to demonstrate that he knows a little bit about what he's talking about.
4) He's speaking diction and speed are spot-on: Not too fast so we can't follow, but not so slow that we start looking at our watches.
OK, so, really, I have no idea if I agree with his points, or his outlook, but if he was a prof. at college, I'd fight to be able to petition his classes.

An excerpt from the memoirs of a Greek soldier, Christos Karagiannis, in 1919, concerning the battles for Aydin. During the first days of the Greek landing, Aydin was taken and retaken many times by the Greek Army and Turkish irregulars, and each time the “rival” civilian population suffered. The source is "The Vanquished: Why the First World War Failed to End" of Robert Gerwarth:
“We enveloped the city and as we drew closer, we heard louder and louder the screamings and the clangs from rilfes and grenades. It was hell. The (turkish) regular army was retreating, but the Turkish irregulars remained and slaughtered, plundered, tortured Greeks and Armenians, gathered the females for their harems. […] In a Greek neighbourhood we found entire families slaughtered in their houses, along with their children. Greek flags were torn apart and trampled. We found in few Greeks killed that the flag poles were fixed into their arses (sic). And the wells were full of corpses.
And then the reprisals were initiated: The mosques were burned, the beards of the hodjas were burned, impalements took place, soldiers of ours unclothed the men and shot at their arses […] A local Greek priest holded a large dagger and slaughtered every Turk he found. The Turks killed his wife and one of his daughters […] he didn’t spare even dogs […]”

Goodbye to Chiang, my little one,
You tried to show them how to fire a gun,
And built an army with your rule,
You know I'll always think it's cool founding China's army school.
Bye Chiang Kai Shek it's hard to die,
When all the birds are singing in the sky,
Now that the spring is in the air,
And the warlords everywhere,
When you crush them, I'll be there .
We had joy, we had fun, we all worked with doctor Sun,
But The army we made let the Japanese invade.

To say that the finger snapping at the end made my spine shiver is an understatement.
Few channels can make you feel amazed, sad, excited (not sure if that's the correct word, but I think we all know what I'm trying to say), hopeful, etc.
Thank you, Indy, Astrid, Spartacus, and the rest of the crew, as well as all the members of the Time Ghost Army!

I am constantly impressed and amazed that not only The Great War/week by week, and Time Ghost, and the coming "sequel" for WW2 are still forging strongly ahead, but that you and your team haven't suffered massive burn-out due to the huge workload in all those behind-the-scenes moments, all that research, proofing and fact-checking, scriptwriting, practice, editing, recaps, public relations and social media presences, budgeting... Seriously. This is an awesome feat in educational history, and one that seems so unimaginably colossal, and you all deserve the highest of praise for dedicating yourselves to taking such a comprehensive look back to the past, and one which with benefit of hindsight keeps away from most of the bias that one tends to get from history books or lessons teaching one or two sides of the wars, especially the... I guess it'd be called western bias? Giving a fresh look at the lesser-told sides of history really puts a lot of what led to the outbreak of WW2 and all that followed in perspective, and is a beautiful opportunity to learn from both the mistakes and triumphs of the past which now might be starting to seem bland, or so normal they lie forgotten, for those mistakes to resurge again in new contexts would be a terrible shame.

Astrid, I thank you all for tackling the days of darkness that befell our world all those years ago. But for some, it feels like yesterday, the smells, sounds, attitudes and the anti Semitic message of hatred seen in every sight seen. The lessons from these atrocities must remain at the forefront, for this world is damned to repeat history should it be forgotten!
For some, it was our fathers, grandfathers who fought these days we reminisce, with a heavy heart and endless tears flowing from my heart. These are the moments of my father's years of youth; of becoming a man. And manly decisions, life or death decisions, were made.
He left me as a young girl, and more questions now than when he left, remain. But the snippets I have, I wish to know more. It's healing, it's cathartic, it is answering questions that, if even still alive, you don't have the guts to ask. Questions you SHOULDN'T ask because...you just SHOULD NOT ask! It as a respect thing with him, I suppose.
But now the answers are coming. I get it. I get HIM.
And I'm okay with it.
I have a personal request, if possible. Or of anyone reading this. 507th PIR, 17th ABD US ARMY.
That's my fathers unit. '44-'45 Ft Benning Paratrooper.
What actions, specifically did they see? I've got all the paperwork available from archives...fire in '76 destroyed some records. Where can I find this into? Pictures, assignments, etc. Roster, Roll...
I've done family genealogy and have military history before revolutionary war. I am proud of it, and would💜to know my father's unit history!
A Happy New Year to each of you, viewers and vets! Be safe and healthy, for you are truly rich indeed! 💋💖🎊🎉

@TimeGhost You’re very welcome. It’s the least I can do! You all have been providing me entertainment since 2014.
Wow. 11 years since World War One channel started.
I based my Senior History project off of one of your episodes, and got an A.
So, seriously, thank YOU.
All of you. I know you hear this a lot, but I genuinely sincerely mean it. I still cannot financially support you via the TimeGhost Army, but I always make sure you like and try to comment.
So thank you, TimeGhost team. For over a decade of history entertainment. For making me more knowledgeable on the subject. And for giving my hundreds of hours of entertainment.
Every week I knew no matter how bad of a week I had I could always count on a World War Two Episode. Or a War Against History, or Spies and Ties, or more.
I sincerely love you guys. I love what you do, I love the passion you all have, and I hope you are able to continue doing work that you both enjoy and makes you proud.
Because you should be proud of what you have done. First in history to do such a thing. I seriously, seriously love you guys. Have a good night TimeGhost team :)

@TimeGhost History team! Hey guys, thanks so much for your work. I understood when I read in school etc, about all the events you guys cover that I was only getting one side of every story, the... "politically clean" version of events and I always wondered if I'd ever get to see a more impartial view without having to form my own conjectures around all the types of things you guys take detours into, little details of life, bio's on minor players who merely appear for 1 line in a history book, but who were people, with lives and goals and a story, and your shows, I've found, have always managed to keep me watching, no matter how... not "uninterested" I am... maybe, "haven't ever considered that topic before" is better maybe, but I feel like no matter if you guys do a subject I know loads about or nothing about, I always learn something and get a new insight into something. Thanks so much, take care, keep doing your thing!

I run history site visits ( what used to be called school excursions) for Secondary / High Schools. A couple of the sites we visit are Victorian / Edwardian and later cemeteries on the North Shore of Sydney. A large percentage of burials in these cemeteries took place between 1919 and 1921. Your explanation of how the combined affects of WW1 and Spanish Influenza affected society, through the example of a school, is so good, that if you don't mind - I'd like to borrow it, please! :-D .
They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery - thank you for coming up with such a lucid, powerful and clear explanation of this tragedy. I think that in order to explain this in future history tours, while we are in the relevant part of the cemetery, I am going to get a school group to go through in in single file, count every fifth student out, and tell them to go off to a separate group. Once they are all sorted - the one in five group I will ask to lay down on the ground for a minute....then tell all of them:
" If you want to know what WW1 and Spanish influenza did, look at your classmates laying on the ground. They represent all of the young people, as a percentage of your group, who didn't make it."
" Then imagine that it wasn't just your form that was affected - it was every form in your school, where this kind of numbers, are dead, at random. Then imagine, just for a minute, that it is not just your school - it is EVERY school..... "
"About one in five of all of the young people under thirty, in the world at that time, died, in about the same time frame as it takes as you starting and finishing high school, with the biggest numbers dying in waves, towards the end before graduation. Unlike most kinds of the 'flu, which kill about one person in a thousand who is usually either very, very young, old, or already sick, this nasty version was good at killing young, strong adults, because it tends to cause their immune systems to over react, particularly to the infection in the lungs, causing them to stop breathing."
" 40% of the Australian population, were infected with this disease. In some Aboriginal communities - the death rate was up to 50%. Every one of those people who died, either by not returning from the war, or dying from the 'flu, had family, friends, and people they were connected to.
"Now you have an inkling of the sheer amount of heartbreak involved - and how much EVERYTHING was changed, because of it!"

@TimeGhost @Spartacus Olsson Thank you both for your replies. I figured it as much, that it would be impossible to assign a single event that put the world in the path of WW2. But this is a much scarier thought, as Spartacus pointed out, if it is millions and millions of decisions big and small that came together to launch the war, then we have to watch every decision we make, every action or inaction that countries make. We are living in a better era today, but everything can change tomorrow. This series teaches us that peace can only be obtained when we as a society actively pursue it.
Once again, thank you for your hard work Indy and team, See you over at WW2 channel. By the way, the Ending of the episode, you always had such a flare for dramatic Indy. Goosebumps, just incredible.

@clownpendotfart SCOTUS took several dozens of minor and major decision that effectively ended the Red Scare persecutions after Warren became Chief Justice. A few notable ones are:
Slochower v. Board of Education
Cole v. Young
Yates v. United States
Watkins v. United States,
Kent v. Dulles
Warren was in the majority on all of these, and most of the many others.
Beyond Ed Murrow, one of the most fervent detractors of McCarthy's crusade was anti-communist reporter, author, and former Director of the United States Office of War Information, Elmer Davis. There were many more.
While McCarthy was indeed a Senator, he worked closely with HUAC, and while HUAC formally lasted until 1975, by 1957 they were a toothless tiger thanks to the many, many SCOTUS decisions against them, and the fallout from McCarthy's censure. In 1959 ex-President Truman called HUAC the "most un-American thing in the country today".
Lucie Arnaz, Lucille Ball's daughter said in an interview for the documentary "Lucy and Desi" that her mother "was scared that people wouldn't believe" she wasn't really a communist. "This could destroy everything that they had, and my father took charge that week." So whatever you think, it seems that Ms. Ball indeed felt threatened and persecuted.
If you're honestly interested in the topic, you should really read some literature on the topic instead of sharing half baked ideas, and self made deductions on YouTube.
I recommend:
The Supreme Court and McCarthy-Era Repression: One Hundred Decisions by Robert M. Lichtman
The Warren Court and the Pursuit of Justice by MortonJ. Horwitz
Many Are the Crimes: McCarthyism in America by Ellen Schrecker
