By the mid 1930s, the writing was on the wall in Europe. War began to look like more and more of a real possibility as the months went by. As this became clearer and clearer, major powers began to make preparations in their own countries in anticipation of future conflict.

What a great documentary the completely blurred screen really pulls me in

[@danielmiller1753]

History should never be censored youtube,get your head out your asses

[@xsnox7]

Agreed

[@amer9208]

Deja vu strikes! Two years on, and I'm back in the same loop. But hey, good content's good content, am I right?

[@paigetomkinson1137]

This is another in an excellent series of documentaries. The historians do a fantastic job, there is much detailed information, and the footage we can see is expertly selected. Unfortunately, the music almost drowns out the narrator, some parts move too fast, and KZbin has forced the blurring of images/video. There was so much presented, I may have to watch it again.

[@TheDavidlloydjones]

Paige, You identify a few of the things which so uniformly render KZbin shoddy, but fail to hit the absurd pro-Kuomintang and Tory propaganda passing itself off as history here.

[@winnerscreed6767]

I have been looking forward to this next section of this series, unfortunately it could be 5 minutes shorter if all of the blurred out sections were removed. I don't know if it is this channels doing or utbes censors. But I do strongly request that if footage can not be shown Don't include it. You aren't protecting anyone's delicate sensibilities by what was done in this video. There is enough repeat footage already that it is factually inaccurate to what topic is being narrated.

[@maxruedy951]

We are having our own late 1930's style moment right now in the world and are on the precipice of falling into a world war once more.

[@uptoolate2793]

Yup, the central bankers want to fleece us again.

[@timburr4453]

hopefully this is prevented.

[@derekbaker777]

Only this time the world now has nuclear weapons, which we didn't have in the 30's. The battle of Armageddon will be the last war fought on this earth, and than comes judgement day, which I believe isn't too far off. Acts 2:38🕊

[@stanleypotter6238]

Music too loud!

[@PaidSearch]

Let’s go. Get it together and let’s go.

[@williamspohrer545]

why bother streaming this video if certain segments are censored?

[@ryanreedgibson]

Get over it. You would like to get paid for your work, wouldn't you? Advertisers don't want to run ads next to corpses.

[@smokeykitty6023]

​@@ryanreedgibsonI agree. I'm so sick of these whiners complaining about this... Then don't watch it!

[@uptoolate2793]

​@@ryanreedgibsonare you the producer?

[@ninob411]

We won WWII. We should y need to censor. Know who liked censorship? Hitler.

[@jab101]

You have to blur certain things according to the youtube rules.

[@stevekutra3372]

Disgusted by censorship. Why bother posting this video?

[@kennyw907]

Y’all need to stop bitching and complaining about a little bit of blurred out footage. This documentary is fascinating and informative. Some of you are so damn entitled, your ancestors would be ashamed. You could never survive in these days that you’re trying to learn about smh

[@hmzdu]

Chamberlain is a good man, Churchill is a wise man, Richard Nixon

[@jasonjennings4349]

Why does this channel put up footage that they completely blur out? just use other footage.

[@stevefenelon759]

T:17 I’m😂how’s

[@jimmieavants5085]

I have a problem with all the blurring going on especially when I have seen the real footage and it makes the horror more palliable. I have a serious issue in that the background music drowns out the narrator's voice!!

[@paulweeldreyer7457]

It's because KZbin will de-monetize them.

[@robertewing3114]

Churchill College arrogance and bias has long tarnished the British record of historical evaluation.

[@adoe2305]

To remind us of KZbin's ridiculous censorship

[@antonius_006]

Remember how Churchill helped create The 1929 Crises.

[@derekbaker777]

Harry Truman was a much better President than FDR who was antisemitic and played head games with Churchill by taking months upon months to send Britain the necessary weaponry to defend themselves against Nazi Germany, and the attack on Pearl Harbor is the only reason why America entered WW2, and ppl on the far left like AOC & Progressive Squad Gang members in Congress haven't changed and are antisemitic.

[@robertewing3114]

Chamberlain mentioned the Americans privately in Munich, not the British Legion.

[@carlsmith8815]

Excellent ...A further consequence of the remilitarisation of the Rhineland was not so much that Germany gained more resources . She had been using the region to rearm already, but the loss of the unmilitarized western zone. Prevented France from taking effective military action to aid her allies in Central and Europe. If she had a mind to do so. Suffering horrendous losses in the WW1 , entering the Great Depression later than most countries and thus experiencing political paralysis with violence and obstruction by both fascists and Communists . The democracy buckled under internal pressure with no cogency or energy to address external threats. Britain reaching out to the USA and the USSR. . Roosevelt. was not prepared to rearm and Stalin wanted Eastern Europe in exchange for a deal and there was no confidence in the West that the Red Army had much value after 1937.

[@baruchben-david4196]

KZbin lives because of its advertisers. They will avoid anything that might drive these advertisers away. Blurring a few scenes is a small price to pay for getting this information.

[@r.w.bottorff7735]

Why can't we see what happened in Guernica?

[@robertewing3114]

Halifax only said what more senior diplomats knew, Hitler sincere for longterm relationship with the UK.

[@mohammedsaysrashid3587]

After WW1.. a cold war orchestrated by winners towards losers ( Germany, Austria, and Ottoman )and disappeared small winners ( Italy, Japan) but without claim ..Britain influence converted European content to inhospitable habitat against Germany, Italy, and USSR ... while the USA kept its eyes on Japan naval fleets and prosecuted Japanese migrated communities on The USA territory.

[@kimlatta4053]

🙏🙏🙏

[@robertewing3114]

Chamberlain actually told the world, quote, I did not go there to get popularity. Rather than read the speech and remind us all of what he said, it is contradicted by theory 17,000,0000, Churchill College bias and misquoting the FO to maintain the appeasement controversy. Sad.

[@robertewing3114]

The Saarland, like dominoe number one falling, against its neighbourhood the Rhineland zone, the second dominoe. Austria the third, Czechoslovakia the forth, but the fifth, Poland, because of the British nerve, only half fell, the USSR being complicit and accepted to invade half. The game of dominoes implied by the 1919 Saarland concept showed how reckless 1919 was, if the Saarland could return, Danzig could too, and all it required was nationalism, which in Nazi hands meant war.

[@willboudreau1187]

"The newspapers were staunchly Republican" ??? You can't just lay this stuff on me without a humor alert or a warning - I almost cracked open a rib laughing so hard!!!

[@TheDavidlloydjones]

American newspapers were generally tilted hard to the right until the mid-1960s. New York's PM was a rare exception.

[@Richard-tu9wr]

Stanley the coward

[@Chris-us6pk]

First in comments section and wee-wee size

[@scottbivins4758]

A state of War has been created by the empire of Japan-FDR🤣

[@knines4280]

Appeasement....... Like Brandon and Iran...,...

[@derekbaker777]

Harry Truman was a much better President than FDR and wasn't antisemitic like Roosevelt was.

[@user-tp4cg9ci6e]

Believe it or not, the world does not revolve around the jews.

[@bluecollarnobody4217]

Well, the new deal was a bunch of bullshit anyway Giving people more money does not help things artificially Creating more opportunity does help people so they can make money organically, therefore stimulating the economy
