the amount of people that died during World War 2 is mind-blowing....if its not taught in an interesting way then people won't learn it....the invasion on the beaches of Normandy is more well known over here in states than the battle of Stalingrad....that picture of the soldier kissing the woman is one of the most popular pictures from the end of the war

Military mission would've made sense if it was only focused on the Donetsk Region. He got greedy. From videos I've seen people in the Donetsk region are glad that the Russians came. Yeah Zelensky was put in as the president of Ukraine rather than the rightful elected president, but he should've just stuck with the Donetsk region rather than going for Kiev and all of Ukraine

When 9/11 happened, I thought of this quote because I know a lot of us compared 9/11 to Pearl Harbor because both events were shockers for us and I just need this would anger all Americans. This was the ONLY time I ever saw ALL of Congress stand side-by-side on such a major issue. We all were prepared for War and wanted to attack those who would dare attack us. My Papa, who was still alive and was a WWII vet, did say 9/11 did feel like WWII because he remembered exactly where he was and what he was doing when he heard about Pearl Harbor (which was from Franklin's speech over the radio).

I am a big fan of Eisenhower, but his contribution was not so much in tactics, as it was in organization and balancing the diplomatic side of leading a multi-national Theater of Operation with Armies from the US, UK, Canada, and France, with smaller contingents from other countries as well. People debate endlessly the merits of Eisenhower's broad front strategy, the strain it put on his own logistics (Germans held onto the major French ports for month after most of the country was liberated), and delay it caused for the advance into Germany at several points. On the flip side, their were reasonable justifications for that approach as an alternative risked being cut off among other dangers.

Stalingrad was the most important battle of WWII. Hitler never recovered. It was a massive error in judgement on his part. Midway was probably the second most important. Throw in El Alamein and it was the turning point. Those battles weakened the Axis, Normandy became attainable once they'd accomplished the other battles. The Battle of the Bulge was the blow that Hitler didn't expect. With the Soviets closing in, it was all but lost. And, let's not forget about the accomplishments of the British, Canadians and Australians.

Lastly, you mention that Hitler made a mistake by invading the USSR, because he got greedy. The simple fact of the matter is that he gave himself no alternative ideologically or economically. In terms of ideology he had to destroy Bolshevism because he saw communism as a Jewish plot and he had to strike while the Soviet Army was still in shambles from Stalin's purges and the Finish War. In terms of economics, Hitler's whole economic strategy was to outsource inflation via conquest. Hitler's 1930s economic miracle was a mirage produced by massive borrowing to fund his military buildup. Going to war and stealing both the resources and labor of the entire continent, meant that he could outsource the inflation/shortages this would cause to the conquered people and isolate Germany from the consequences of his economic policies. By the time the invasion of the Soviet Union came, Germany was on the brink and it needed an infusion of resources and forced labor, otherwise Hitler's whole economic approach would be regarded as the fraud that it was.

@6:31- I really do not like how Oversimplified used his wording here. We were not 'forced' to declare war. WE WANTED to go to war. I know this channel is about keeping things simple, but here's why us Americans were SOOOO POed about Pearl Harbor. During that time, Japan and the US had peace talks. In fact they were still happening WHILE the attack happened. This was seen as a 'stab in the back' for the Japanese caught us completely unaware. You wouldn't believe the number of Americans who signed up to join the armed forces to join the war. D-Day (the day Allied Forces landed in France) is huge. Sadly I lost a great-uncle on that day. My own dad was named after him. One of my wishes is to make it to Normandy to see his grave because he's buried over there.

@@WolfLove89 I wouldn’t say that. Things would have eventually come to a head anyway. If we hadn’t intervened, Britain would have eventually fallen and then the Nazis would have had nothing stopping them from hitting Iceland and launching attacks off from there, launching out more Uboats and Luftwaffe from British ports and runways. Canada was already actively participating against Germany long before Pearl Harbor Harbor ever happened so there would have been retaliation anyway.

What gets overlooked about Pearl Harbor aside from not destroying the repair yards & the oil reserves is that Japan had three aircraft attack waves and only sent two of them before they decided to withdraw and end the attack however had they sent the third wave they would’ve sunk all four Pacific Fleet carriers of the US Navy they also would’ve destroyed a fleet of B-17 bombers and they had enough military manpower to occupy the Hawaiian islands completely and not doing so in the long run cost Japan war

Was D day the defining single event of WWII? Who is to say.

I think that D-Day is more important to the post war environment than to WW2 itself. By the time the allies landed in Normandy, Germany was already destined to lose the war. It was only a question of time. However, if the western allies wouldn't have landed in Normandy or would have been defeated by Germany, the Soviet Union would have captured pretty much most of Europe themselves from the east. This would have meant, that in the resulting Cold War, the Soviets would have been in control of large parts of the continent and would have been even stronger. The USA and as such "the west" could have "lost" the Cold War under these circumstances and the Soviet Union wouldn't have fallen apart.

The Kwantung Army was the largest grouping of the Imperial Japanese Army during World War II. It was prestigious to serve in the Kwantung army, soldiers and officers were given the opportunity to quickly advance in the service and have a good salary. The Kwantung Army was assigned the role of the main enemy of the Red Army in the event of a war between Japan and the USSR. In addition, the Kwantung Army, along with the Korean Army, was an exception in the Imperial Army, since, among other things, it had a very large numerical composition relative to other formations. The Soviet Union began the war against Japan, fulfilling the Yalta agreements with the allies. The offensive as part of the Manchurian operation began on the morning of August 9, 1945. The day before in Moscow, the Japanese ambassador to the USSR was notified of the outbreak of war between the USSR and Japan. And although a Neutrality Pact was signed between the two states before the start of the Great Patriotic War for a period of 5 years, Japan, which was an ally of Hitler's Germany and fought with the allies of the USSR, inevitably became an enemy of the Soviet Union. And the Neutrality Pact was denounced by the USSR in advance. Thus, the Japanese side was warned. There are disputes regarding the date of August 19, 1945 and the surrender of the Kwantung Army. Their essence can be reduced to the fact that 64-year-old Japanese General Yamada Otodzo on that day actually signed the act of surrender of the Kwantung Army, obeying the decree of the Emperor of Japan on surrender of August 14, but to what extent the order took effect and whether by that time the main forces of the Kwantung army had been defeated by Soviet troops or only a smaller part of them is not a fully resolved question. In any case, the Japanese continued to offer some resistance to the Soviet troops in Manchuria, but mostly surrendered everywhere under the onslaught of the advancing Red Army troops, who had passed almost a five-year school of the fiercest war in the history of mankind. The defeat of the Kwantung army made further resistance to Japan pointless. Many historians, including Japanese, agree that even the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki by the American side did not have the same impact on the Japanese emperor's decision to surrender as the defeat inflicted on Japan by the Soviet Union in Manchuria.

In 1941 the Kwantung Army was well-trained and well-equipped, but as the war began to turn against the Japanese they could no longer hold the best units they had in strategic reserve. So the best units in the Kwantung Army were redeployed to fight the Americans and the Chinese. These soldiers were replaced by inexperienced and poorly equipped militia, draft levies, and reservists. By 1945 the Kwantung Army was a mere shell of it's former self, so it's no surprise that the well equipped and battle-hardened Soviet troops quickly defeated them.

5:46, it's evident that the title 'OverSimplified' captures just a fraction of the true darkness of World War II. Recently, I watched 'Come and See,' a film set during the Nazi occupation of Belarus. It chillingly portrays the atrocities and war crimes committed by the Nazis, such as the burning of 628 Belorussian villages along with all their inhabitants. It's one of the most realistic portrayals of war and can be a hard watch for some

André, we have more US military veterans in our family -- especially on my dear husband's side. His great grandfather fought in the Civil War. He was a runner (message carrier) for Robert E. Lee. He kept a "Mess Journal" -- diary. A family member paid to have it published, decades ago. We have a copy. Most recently, our eldest son served almost 10 years in the U.S. Navy. Submarine Service. Running the nuclear power plant on a fast attack sub. Relevant to this video: my Daddy served in WW 2. He was a bit older, & possibly for other reasons, he was assigned to be a driver for a mobile radar unit. They traveled around Southern California, searching for enemy aircraft & submarines. My understanding is that my Daddy was 1 of the men & women who spotted a Japanese sub off the coast of California. Was kept a secret & I've never researched that. I know there were enemy balloons (high altitude, I presume) that were dropped in the state of Oregon. There is info available about that. Blessings to you & your family.

Please react to "Desert Storm The Air War - Day 1" by The Operations Room. I have suggested this video before. I think you'll be amazed at the scale of the war. It is animated and family-friendly for your channel.
