Hearted Youtube comments on Henry Stewart History (@HenryStewart) channel.

  1. This is probably the first ever english speaking documentary towards this topic that is not clouded in WW1 propaganda. Very very well done and subbed

  2. Calling the Duchy of Moscow "small" is quite a severe understatement. But otherwise, you have no idea how happy I am to see an english speaking channel talk about the Russo-turkish wars, the most underrated conflicts of the modern period.

  3. Also, Europe from 1814-1914 produced music so powerful and beautiful that it's still being performed today all over the world. Whistle a couple of lines and everyone recognizes it from hearing it in movies, mostly.

  4. WW I was THE most catastrophic event of the 20th century. It upended a century of relative stability and prosperity in Europe. It was a major contributor to European chaos of the 20s and 30s and of the rise of fascism and WW II and all of the misery, death and destruction that that war brought to Europe. Great video, thanks!

  5. I don’t think useless is the right word for the Russian Army in WW1 The faster than expected Russian mobilization placed pressure on Germany, and was a great relief to the Western front. The push into Galacia, and the eastern front in general tied up millions of Austrian-Hungarian and German forces that could’ve been used against Italy and France respectively. Its armies put constant pressure on the ottomans too. Indeed without Russia, I would say it’s incredibly unlikely France and Britain would’ve been able to win. I would more so ask: “Why did the Russian Army ‘struggle’ so much in WW1?” While Russia did make some successful offensives, it was hampered by supply issues (at times food literally arrive spoiled to the front), having less railway than the Germans, and so on. The Russian army was useful, incredibly so, but its issues ran deep, and they would eventually breed resentful soldiers, leading to two revolutions.

  6. Samsonov and von Rennenkampf communicated extremely well. The slight problem was the only thing they communicated so extremely well was the utter contempt and disdain they felt for each other.

  7. In school we never learned about communism. The internet had to be my teacher on that.

  8. Never change your cadence or manner of speaking. It’s a unique mix of, relaxing, authoritative, definitive, and relatable. Most underrated and easy listening historian on YouTube ❤

  14. The production quality alone makes it deserving of more views.

  15. This was a masterpiece. The analysis, explanation, everything. The original footage was of scenes I have never seen before and fascinating. I would love to know where the dramatisation scenes came from. Well done Henry Stewart and thank you.

  16. Finally a good video about this mess of a war

  17. There is no YouTuber at the moment that makes me drop everything to watch their videos like this channel does. Always such interesting topics and quality videos
    71
  18. I have never seen a documentary or any presentation that is as well thought out as this one. This video is the gold standard of how to discuss the start of World War 1. Absolute KUDOs to the creator of this video. History teachers should absolutely use this video in describing the catastrophe of the Great War.

  19. This analysis deserves more attention than it is getting. As a serviceman in the US, I appreciate the considerate and carefully considered outside perspective.

  20. wow this is well produced! looks awesome! keep it up! glad the algorithm offered me this channel. well done!

  21. Lest we forget.

  22. I have never seen such a objective, educational video on WW1. Every single event is covered, and well explained from a neutral perspective. We need more of this, and less of biased explanations we see on the news
    47
  23. The big factor was what the American military experienced in their invasions of Iwo Jima and Okinawa. Given the late stage of the war, American civilians might not want to experience possibly as high as 1 million American casualties of dead and wounded in an invasion of the Japanese home islands, according to some Pentagon estimates in 1945.

  24. Omg I’ve found a hidden gem in YouTube. Glad I’m here early

  25. OMG, thank you for this. The narrative is the most comprehensive i've ever seen or heard and strikes me as consciously objective. Very classy production that nicely leverages a mesmerizing mix of historic and theatrical film content. BRAVO!!

  26. This is quickly becoming my favorite history channel! Keep it up!
    36
  27. This is a fantastic video, there’s a ton of nuance to both the real history and the current regime’s narrative. You are quickly becoming one of the best history/geopolitics channels on this platform!

  28. Dude how do you only have 6k subs? This content is Kings and Generals quality both in animation and information
    35
  29. Man. Pretty discouraging to think about how easily people are willing to deny the holocaust given how long it took for it to be acknowledged. It’s good to not let anyone forget. Glad you’re showing this. Keep up the good work.
    33
  30. RIP big Nicky, Top lad till the end.

  31. Incredible documentary, the clearest video I've seen on the subject that is complex and includes so many intersecting and interrelated characters and that it doesnt lasts 5 hours. Fabulous job =)
    31
  32. Very good analysis of those possibilities. As a friend of mine once said " The Nazis could have won if they hadn't of been Nazis. " The very thing that led them to attack Russia in the 1st place was the same idealogy that forced them into stupid decisions. All of which you covered well in this video. Well done sir.

  34. This is a great overview, I’m gonna show this to my students. Very easy to follow!

  35. My great grandfather was caught by Japanese soldiers and he was being beaten and tortured because he hide Australian prisoners of war who escaped from Japanese maintain-prison in Malaysia. He is then being sentenced to prison for 5 years for “colluding with the enemy”. After war ended , he was released. Until this day, he is tortured by the memory of the ww2 and he never used any Japanese products at all. I believe we were fooled many times. I want Japan to at least had the guts or the will to acknowledge and teach about it. Even today, most Japanese think acknowledging their country's atrocities is shameful. I say the opposite, it is the correct thing and respectable thing to do. Thank you for making this video, Mr. Henry. At least no one will forget this dark fragment of WW2.

  36. I also came here because History Marche recommended it, and I am thankful that they did. I knew about the partitions of Poland but not the political background or the uprisings and military operations. This was a great video that made me want to know more about this part of history. Thank you for making it. You have one more subscriber and I am looking forward to check out your other content 🙂

  37. how the HELL does this only have 600 views??? This is AMAZING

  38. Brilliant overview. I may quibble on some minor points but I've never seen anybody explain it in so short a time with so much detail and remain neutral throughout.
    27
  39. I thought it was impossible, but thanks to you my level of patriotism has increased even more.❤🇵🇱 thank you for this emotional journey into the world of my ancestors.

  40. Glad to see yourself in this vid then just your voice! Great quality videos mate. Keep it up 🙌🏽

  41. That was such a balanced and objective review of this historical aspect !😎👌 Thank you!👍
    25
  42. I hope you can cover San Martín's campaign through the Andes to Chile. A wonderful masterclass of military command that's rarely talked about on english sources.

  43. The claims that the Japanese were about to surrender is at odds with everything that the allies had seen up to that point! The Japanese had not surrendered in any significant numbers on any of the other islands that they had fought the allies. The only thing that the Japanese understood was brute force!
    21
  44. I love this animation. This is a cool way to view battles. Different POV
    21
  45. My grandfather served as an Army artillery officer fighting Hitler in North Africa and Italy during World War II. He was on a troopship headed to the Japan fight when the bombs dropped and the war ended. Instead of fighting the Japanese, he arrived as part of a peaceful occupation force. You can't convince me Truman made the wrong decision.

  46. Thank you for your blunt and clear narration. It is gold.

  48. This is a terrific video. This is the sort of thing that should be on the History Channel.
