When the U.S. fired on Guam, the Spanish governor thought the U.S. Navy was saluting the Spanish flag. He did not even know the U.S. was at war with Spain until he was made a prisoner of the U.S.A. Despite the USS Charleston firing 13 shells at Guam's fortifications, no one was killed or injured, with all 54 Spanish surrendering peacefully to U.S. troops.

3:00 the engagement was of course more than 38 minutes long . That was when threats were acted on. However taking over and occupying is an act of war. This is why I would say the football or 100 hours war is the best example as it’s got more casualties so there was actually an engagement but also proper declarations of war from opposing governments

As a Filipino fan of the channel, the Spanish-American War is one of my favorite wars because of the Battle of Manila Bay as mentioned. I know the Americans were victorious because of their superior fleet, but I prefer the ships of the Spanish fleet. Though all of them are old, they're so interesting to know what ships that the Philippines' first colonizer had anchored at Manila Bay.

@@isaacdepaula2103​​⁠​⁠​⁠matched us Air Force? It’s hard to express how incorrect this is. The US had OVERWHELMING air superiority. But engaging MiGs for the sake of such as the Korean War wasn’t the purpose. The objective was to preserve strike flights, that’s it. Also the idea something was Drained (I think you meant) I’m not even sure what this means but it had little to do with money. All war is money but that’s not why. It was the style of fighting. It wasn’t a “fair” fight in terms of overall strength but odds were evened by the oppositions tactics reducing numerical advantages to Nil. You cite things like the Afghan war again absolutely nothing to do with Money - this was overall objectives issue (nation building) plus opposition strategy again. Sprawling terrain to hide and spread out forces in difficult terrain is tough to habitually fight with prototypical munitions and matériel.

People gotta do whatever it takes to survive, gain personal glory, supporting their countries and many other reasons for selfish causes. Unfortunately in today's history, many politicians do not learn the lessons of the past and somehow to choose to repeat or makes the same mistakes as other notorious figures like i.e Hitler, Stalin, Mao. So unfortunately, we come to a conclusion that history will rhythm itself again.

I'd include the hilariously one-sided British invasion of Ethiopia in 1868. An insane ruler started kidnapping priests and diplomats. Britian sailed in a rescue force of 20,000 British and Indian troops with 40,000 horses and elephants - Marched across a mountainous desert, won over the locals, annialated the Emperor's army, rescued the hostages, and then went home again. It would be amazing logistics now, but in the 1860s it was next level.

Technology is a sob if this was 1970 USA military in this situation it would have been a different story. More of a conventional battle. But the USA defense budget with research made it un winnable bc Iraq was using outdated weapons with no actual defense research of their own. I mean it's quite impressive how advanced the USA was in the 1990s. I remember a documentary where a tanker on the USA side "It wasn't even fair, we could fight at night or sand storm and our sights made it look like it was daytime, we could see if a solider farted from 2 km out and they could see us until we were 50 meters in front of them."

Plus the Coalition was largest since WW2, if they made that big of a Coalition they obviously knew Iraq was powerful Country military wise economically. But the other guy is right 70s american military and iraqi military have a lot in common they look similar. the technology and weapons are similar. 1v1 would be a different story tho.

Azerbaijan's recent aggression against Artsakh wasn't exactly very fair, either. Especially since The Armenians living there were likely malnourished, due to Azerbaijan starving them with a blockade for ages. Which the international community obviously ignored, as they were already too busy sucking off Zelensky.

Fun fact: during the Italian invasion of Ethiopia, Roberto Farinacci, a higher-up of the Fascist Party, lost his hand to a grenade. According to the citation of his war wound pension, it was a battle wound. In truth, he screwed up while grenade fishing, and Mussolini forced him to give his pension to charity.

A couple of notes about the 2nd Italo-Ethiopian war. 1) Emperor Haile Silase appealed for intervention from the League of Nations, but was turned down due to fears that intervention might precipitate what would later be WW2. 2) While Italians claimed Ethiopia as part of Italian East Africa, resistance lasted longer than months: indeed Ethiopians viewed Italian presence as occupation, and recognition of IEA did not come readily (plus no settlers came). Resistance was bolstered by the British and Yugoslavian advisors, such that by 1941, the Italians had been driven out

I think that you should create a limited edition collectable set of the you tube soldiers having a soldier from each branch of the US military and from each war beginning with the Revolutionary War to the Vietnam War. Each one being designed with the correct style uniform and weaponry. And not just the regular soldier but special units and weapons such as airborne, flame throwers, sniper, fighter pilots, tank crew, medics, calvary, etc.

​@@emberfist8347 That counterpoint is also a fallacy. The U.S. has plenty of oil reserves, maybe more than any other country on Earth - the minute we use them they theoretically stop being reserves. Just as with other natural resources, its scarcity - or the perception of scarcity - drives up the price, and vice versa. It's easy to forget that a U.S. president enforced gasoline rationing based on this perception of scarcity. Another guaranteed his reelection by opening up the oil reserves and bringing gas prices down, after which they have continued to climb YoY to unprecedented levels for the U.S. We invaded Afghanistan in a direct hunt for a HVT, while Iraq was invaded on vague justifications of re-stockpiling "WMDs" despite the U.S. bombing the country every 2 weeks for years.
