How on Earth do you mistake British ships for a Japanese Fleet in the middle of the Baltic Sea

[@the_Kutonarch]

RogueSkull Japan and Britain were allies, Japan was even buying navy ships from Britain. I guess the Russians thought that the Japanese would have sailors in Britain so that they could sail the ships back to Japan. But instead of sailing back, they thought they might attack their fleet instead.

[@Mushroommate7]

With a few bottles of vodka you can mistake anything for anything

[@pasztetomnomnom]

[@thedarklordreturns990]

[@CapybaraTut]

Actually, there was a report according to which some Japanese mine ships moved from Japan to the Britan's shores. That's why Russians were on the alert. Then they noticed ships that didn't have lights at night so they confused it. Also, there were the misunderstanding between the admiral and other officers so ships started the attack without command.

[@JackRackam]

Boy, I knew this war was a flop for Russia, but that Baltic fleet takes the cake.

[@sergei_bobrov]

Read book of Novikov-Priboy about the battle of Tsushima, there are very good explanations how it did in real life. All second maritime squadron was on paranoia from the first day. Admiral was stupid and self-confident. Japanese were more traned, modern, quality. And don’t forgot that Russia is better on ground and out fleet never was the best thing at the seas like our army, for examples. Fleet is like poor parents. Always was: first army, second army, third army..... Oh, yeas, fleet, take a little money. All this squadron knew that they go to die. So it was very stupid war for us, respect to japanese. We don’t like to remember this.

[@Reilly-Maresca]

There was an article about that on the World of Warships forum back during the Alpha. I don't remember all of the details.

what about that bill wurtz reference with the russian railroad?

[@jacques8221]

[@Kardia_of_Rhodes]

Not entirely a reference. The reason Russia likes "warm water" is because other than Sevastopol and Rostov on Don, all of Russia's ports are inaccessible for about 1/3 of every year due to ice. No ports means harder to trade, harder to trade means harder to sustain economy, and harder to sustain economy means harder to quell the masses. This is the real reason Putin Wanted Crimea.

[@johnc4122]

The Battle of Tsushima... now THERES a tale. With Russia's first Pacific squadron destroyed, they renamed the Baltic fleet the "Second Pacific Squadron" and told them to set sail for the Far East, relieve Port Arthur and destroy the Japanese fleet. And so, the absurd and epic journey of the Second Pacific Squadron began. The journey took months, and was hell. Most of the sailors were untrained peasants shanghaied into the whole thing, and Admiral Zinoviy Rozhestvensky and his second in command Nikolai Nebogatov, the poor guys put in charge, knew full well that they were all being sent to die. And thousands did. The battle wasn't so much as a battle as a massacre. The Russian ships, some modern, but many decrepit and obsolete vessels (referred to by Rozhestvensky as the "sink-by-themselves ships") were sunk one by one. The Russian fleet was crushed, and what remained of it was surrendered to the Japanese by Nebogatov (Rozhestvensky had been badly wounded) who was unwilling to see more of his men die pointless deaths. And of course, when he and Rozhestvensky returned to Russia, they were blamed for absolutely everything. The Tsar nearly executed them, but instead they were imprisoned, their naval careers ended and their names were forever tarnished.

[@adamfrisk956]

Rozhestvensky - Rozhdestvensky - Рождественский - Christmassy. There's actually a really neat book about it. www.amazon.com/Tsushima-Soviet-Literature-English-Transaction/dp/0883554089

[@kostam.1113]

John C Those poor men, 1917 revolution was really imminent if original leadership was so inept.

[@Fluetify1]

Dont forget that on the way they nearly started a war with Great Britain, someone who you didn't want to mess with back then, especially on the sea. The incident was caused by a russian intelligence officer based in denmark, who was a huge fan of spy novels. So he told the fleet that there were japanese torpedo boats in the north sea(!). The russian fleet sunk some english fishers because they thought they were japanese. Also after the stops in africa the ships degenerated to zoos, effectively not able to shoot some of the cannons because they had snakes around it. Its an absolutely incredible story.

[@ingvarjankowsky9363]

Rozhestvensky, not Rozhdestvensky :))) So, no any XMas :))

[@adamfrisk956]

[@theorganizer1273]

The reason why Russia lost the war was because there was an “immortal” Japanese soldier who went on a rampage and took down multiple Russian soldiers in a trench with his bare hands after being shot in the neck by a Russian machine gunner...

Actually the explosion of USS Maine wasn't what started the war and the "furnish the picture and I furnish the war" is false. It did however bring many volunteers.

[@highdefinitionapollo2189]

People like to call it the first war in recent history where an Asian country defeated a European country, even though out of all European countries, Russia was the most Asian, and out of all the Asian countries, Japan was the most European. (If that makes any sense)

[@nodinitiative]

Russia was in a sense, a "European power", Don't forget, its main armies were in Europe. Japan was lucky because of the lack of Russian intelligence in Japan, if the Russians knew the war was actually financially unsustainable for Japan and Japan would have been force to sue for peace by 1906 or 1907, then I'm sure Russia would have stayed the course.

[@huynhtranhung]

nodinitiative Nah, the Russian empire was already weakened, that's why their troops were weak and undersupplied. Japan in the other hand, was raising up to be one of the most powerful countries in the world at that time. It's no coincidence that Hitler befriend to the Japanese before WW2.

My family has a pretty long written record of what each family member did both on my mother and my father's side but only notable military service they had other than one single member in WWII was Russo-Japanese war. My great great great grandfather and two older sons died at battle of hill 203. We still have a huge gravestone made from a single boulder cut in half near our home

[@nodinitiative]

Fun fact: Japan would have lost the war, if Russia had not commit to battle so soon or just made the war last for another year or two. The war kind of bankrupted Japan and that is why the Japanese government at that time were not happy they were not able to get a huge financial compensation for the war. lol.

[@TheNorth15]

Fun fact 2: Teddy Roosevelt actually wanted America to side with Japan simply because he was shocked and excited by the unexpected victories Japan was gaining over Russia until he thought the possibility that Japan may actually completely kick out Russia from East Asia.

[@dimas3829]

Fun Fact 3,5: At the time after assasinaion attempt Japan was used to pay hugely for attacking foregniers and they were prepared even to give Russia some of their land as a sort of reconciliation. Emperor of Japan personally went to Russian's ship to give out his personal apology even though it was quite dangerous action for him to do. And yeah, that lifelong prisonment didn't lasted long, Asassin didn't live for a year after the court. By the way Nicolas 2 enjoyed some (japaneese hookers and) cool tatoo that japaneese master did on his arm before that and there are even photoes of him posing with it open to be seen.

[@phileas007]

Fun fact 5: The Tsar actually agreed to the Japanese ultimatum long before action started, being fully aware of the inadequate supply routes and much weaker navy in the region. However being an incompetent buffoon, couldn't manage to send the papers on time, the signed treaty arrived in Japan like 2 weeks after the start of action.

[@CommanderJonny]

Fun Fact 6: Russia could've won the Battle of Mukden (and thus the war), but the Russian commander had his plan based off faulty intelligence; the Japanese received reinforcements from Port Arthur because Russia couldn't make up its mind and actually launch a decisive attack; and the Russian officers were overall generally incompetent to say the least, not to mention the top commander basically handicapped himself because he didn't like one of his immediate subordinates, and set him aside.

[@joellaz9836]

nodinitiative Japanese thought Teddy cheated them, but he actually wanted the Japanese to win, and he ensured that the treaty was as favourable to Japan as it could be. He didn't like the Russians. He wrote some horrible things about them.

[@The51stDivision]

It seems that Japan is somehow very fond of the idea of sneak-attacking enemy ports first before officially declaring war later...

[@arnold3768]

I don't even understand what's the point of declaring war. Without it, the enemy won't be prepared and can give you easy victory. Japan and later, Hitler, knew all this.

[@travelleryu]

Every country does that

[@michaelho4014]

Pearl Harbor was actually inspired directly by the British attack on the Italian port of Taranto in mid-1940. Before that, the Japanese did not have any confidence that a sudden air strike on a sitting fleet with carrier based planes could ever work. This was before they entered the war, which meant they had diplomats overseas who relayed everything back home in a lot of detail.

[@Chris_0803]

Look at Japan as the Great Britain of Asia. An island nation protected by ocean borders, with a homogenous people and culture, forced to become super efficient due to a lack of natural resources. Add to that a culture that effectively uses shame and notions of honor as a behavioral deterrent and there you have it...a successful country (historically speaking)

[@theobuniel9643]

Great Britain as homogeneous? Hahaha..... Not really. Tell that to the Scottish.

[@demilembias2527]

Theo Buniel there's another similarity, actually...great Britain has their culturally different people to the north, the scottish, and Japan had theirs, the Ainu people of Hokkaido. Except with the latter case, most of them got wiped out by imperialism...

[@demilembias2527]

Altar of Freedom yeah but the comparison was that both culturally important island-based empires had untamed wildernesses to the north with people who they fought to dominate many a time. The Japanese analog to the extermination of indigenous peoples by the British and others would probably be what they did to the Chinese and pacific islanders during the early part of WWII

[@demilembias2527]

Thanks for the video, this will help me greatly for my History Test

[@Noah_Levy]

3 years late to the party, but the British fishing boat shenanigans actually happened in the North Sea. The Baltic fleet's voyage to the Pacific is definitely a meme of legends, though. Otherwise, great video.

[@ravenknight4876]

The surprising thing is, that the Japanese Army won nearly all the battles in this war, but essentially always had larger casualties.

[@ShinobiHOG]

I've seriously been trying to find more documentaries about this war for years. Such a forgotten war for how significant the consequences of it was......

[@rawpgb]

Cool vid. I like this format.

[@internetexplorer7143]

I'm completing my history homework about this as I'm watching this video. Thanks for helping me with my homework.

[@christiandiazmiranda2635]

I really liked the video, I’m don’t understand English well, but with your video I felt that I understood all, thanks for doing videos of that quality.

[@APalebloodSky]

Thinking Japanese ships were in the Baltic sea was ridiculous.

[@michaelho4014]

For people who are interested in more of the massive meme that is the Russian Second Pacific Squadron, Drachinifel has an even longer video on this that includes Dogger Bank: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b37HmpJ8nZ6Sd8k Once you watch it, the word Kamchatka will be forever ingrained as who spotted Japanese torpedo boats that were never actually there

[@get2dachoppa249]

Surprised you didn’t mention that one of the negotiators of the Treaty of Portsmouth was then US president Teddy Roosevelt, and was awarded a controversial Nobel Peace Price from it.

[@coltonberry985]

Could you please put some links and referencing to your sources? (I say this because I am studying this in my Modern History Class, and also did you know y'all know this was uploaded the day we discussed this topic?)

[@InternetFag]

I knew that background music sounded familiar,you have good tastes,my man.

[@joujou264]

The story of the Baltic fleet is hilarious, I encourage everyone to read up on it. I'm from Latvia, so it's especially funny to us how inept Russia was with it.

[@unitedhistory7795]

When mean old Russian's saw little Japanese men rolling in with their ships and army. Russia was kicked in right in the face twice on land and at sea. Made everyone think twice after facing someone so small. :D which leads to this big major problem for Russia. GOOD OLD FASHION Revolution :3

[@smalhazi]

Russians don't like to remember this war. They truly believe, that russia has never been defeated, and it was just "strategic retreat".

[@MenRot]

ShoniMa they think it is betrayal, not retreat, but, ya, they don't love this war

[@FatDragon73]

Nah, we alwaws remember it as a disaster. Some people just don't wonna research it mach, defeats are kinda boring to stady...

[@dimas3829]

+ShoniMa I am Russian and my point of view is that at the time Russian aristocracy stole most of the war funds, which led to this disaster, furthermore, it was more of some captains incompetence that sea battle was cripplingly lost, not a tsar fault. While Japan's establishment of the time was in patriotic fever, Russian one was enjoying the debauchery. Furthermore, while I do despise some army officers for their poor choices in the battles, I do value very highly glorious Russian diplomats and their astnoishing work that turned a crushing defeat in a mild inconvinience. All in all, Russia didn't pay a single ruble of contribution while Japan, which took a shitton of UK's credits was on a verge of starvation as an result of it and met with it's own pro-revolution forces as a result massacring it's own batshit-ctazy nationslists later on before moving on to massacre koreans and robing food from them.

[@kostam.1113]

United History At least they got their revenge 40 years later, Japan could have stayed even without Hokkaido.

[@northumbriabushcraft1208]

you should do the pacific war, sino-vietnamise war, Russian civil war & winter/continuation war as a 2 part. love your videos!

[@TriatomicAI]

It would cool if you did more wars from the 1400s to the late 1700s. I find your Seven Years War, War of the Roses, and Thirty Years War vids the best of the bunch. Maybe even the Protestant Reformation?

Love this channel

[@DJEDzTV]

This is so brief that key facts and reasons for certain actions are not explained to the depth required to fully paint a correct picture of this war.

[@dinodonut5776]

"Bought some exotic pets that killed some crew" lmao

[@MattyBerke]

Do the 1920 Battle of Warsaw, I would like to learn more about it

[@hentehoo27]

Can't wait to see a video about the *Winter War*!
