I'm getting the sneaking suspicion that Indy is actually a restaurant critic, or at the very least takes bribes from obscure restaurants in the theatres of war he visits. "Oh, and ten billion people died from artillery fire, but at least there's this lovely restaurant across from the bombed-out ruins of the postal office that you should definitely check out if you ever visit any part of France..." Nice puttees, by the way.

It actually took longer than normal to regrow. Soils were heavily polluted by lead, mercury, chlorine, arsenic, various dangerous gases, acids, and human and animal remains. The areas was also littered with ammunition depots and chemical plants. Parts of it is still a so called red zone (zone rouge), no building, digging or farming allowed in those parts. It is still a problem along most of the frontlines, even some large unexploded mines (these days known as tunnel bombs as used in the conflict in Syria and Iraq) are still somewhere underground along the old trenches. A test in 2005 found 300 unexploded shells on a area of just 10.000 square meters in just the first 15 cm of the top soil in the worst areas. Estimates says it will take between 500-700 years to clean up everything at the current rate.
@usuilucifer8922
@usuilucifer8922 7 жыл бұрын
Canofasahi that's why it's so amazing to me. A land polluted that much by metal and chemical still ale to regenerate itself after 100 years. I actually thought that it partly would be barren land. 500-700 years would be quite an over estimated since we have nature working too. Shells may still explode now but another hundred years and they all turn into Rush since the moisture of the area is very high most likely the soil will have a lot of water in it too.

Spoiler.... Russian revolution starts March 1917. End of 1917 Estonia (Viro), Latvia, Lithuania, Ukraine, Georgia and Finland declared independence after that. Early 1918 German troops arrive Finland. Finland is only European country that hold its independency from Soviet Union since became a nation December 6 1917.
@jessiemann8251
@jessiemann8251 7 жыл бұрын
"Finland is only European country that hold its independency from Soviet Union since became a nation December 6 1917." That is incorrect on several levels. First of all Finland was a Duchy of Imperial Russia and gained its independence from that not the Soviet Union - which didn't exist until 1922. Finland was never part of the Soviet Union. Second of all Finland actually enjoyed quite a lot of independence during Imperial Russia since Finland was allowed their own parliament and government institutions. For this parliament they actually elected the first female members in the world. Why? Because they had the freedom to do so. This is one of the reasons the transition to independence went so smoothly for Finland - everything was already in place and fully functioning. Besides, whatever little allegiance Finland had to Imperial Russia died when Imperial Russia collapsed so they had no further obligations to it. Following the Versailles Treaty we saw the birth of Czechoslovakia, Poland (re-birth), Hungary, Kingdom of Croats, Slovenes and Serbs (later Yugoslavia) - and even before the war, Albania. All of those maintained their independence officially (inofficially Finland's foreign politics during the Cold War were as much a game of compromise as those countries' were). Most of Poland had been part of Imperial Russia. Despite becoming a satellite-state during the Cold War it was never assimilated - neither culturally nor politically. Poland took an insane beating during WW2 so their survival as a nation is all the more remarkable. The Kingdom of Croats, Slovenes and Serbs became the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. During WW2 it was occupied by Nazi Germany but reformed after WW2 as the Socialist Republic of Yugoslavia. They never wanted anything to do with the Soviet Union and rejected Stalin's advances to join the Warsaw Pact. This angered him so much he planned an invasion of Yugoslavia in 1949-1950. The Korean War came between so he shelved that plan. Since Yugoslavia survived until 1999 it outlived the Soviet Union (which fell 1991) and maintained its independence all the way in whatever form the country came in (3 official iterations, all with different systems). Question: What were German troops doing in Finland 1918 when they were urgently needed on the Western Front? Finland had already declared its independence and whatever divisions Germany could spare would be needed to occupy the part of Russia (and Poland) they got at the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk - and even those were too few to control such a massive piece of land. It's lucky Germany was in a bad situation in 1918 and in no position to argue with Finland or else they might have considered Finland too to be German spoil of war from defeating Imperial Russia. It's interesting to note that after the war Finland made sure its own industry wouldn't be taken over or muscled out by (mostly) German investors and erected certain laws to protect its own industry by stipulating that any owner of property in Finland had to be living in Finland and registered as a Finnish citizen. That way whatever foreigner decided to invest in Finland had to stay in Finland and all the money earned stayed in Finland too. They wouldn't want to sell out their country to the Germans after having endured Swedish and Russian rule for centuries. Smart people. Anyways, their role in WWI was miniscule and they wisely sat out the war biding their time. Knowing the insane slaughter of the war who could blame them for not wanting anything to do with it? Ironically the war was something good for Finland because without it it would have taken a lot longer gaining full independence, although it was bound to happen sooner or later.

Indy's detailed recounting of all the food is making me laugh. We Americans do love our food 😄 "We toured this battleground with a vast cemetery and a village that was completely destroyed...and then we had some GREAT pizza!"

You guys should head to Ypres in September/October for the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Passchendaele (3rd Ypres). My Great-Grandfather's eldest brother died during the Battle of Polygon Wood in the initial phase of the Battle of Passchendaele.

Several years ago my wife and I were driving through France in our camper. We found ourselves in and around the Verdun battlefield site. It was late so we parked on a lonely road and camped for the night to sleep. Thst night I was haunted by very strange and eerie dreams. Perhaps the souls of of the many dead soldiers were not peacefully at rest. I had an idea of the hustory of the battle but was not that knowledgeable of it as I now am. After a fitful sleep the next morning we visited the site and the museum and took a tour to learn about everything. The more one learns of the battle the more shocking it becomes. It was truely a hell on earth. There was no glory. Only pain, death and destruction.

I hope they go the the Vimy memorial, it's an impressive structure in its own right and gives a great view of the Vimy battle site by virtue of being on top of it.

Hey Indie and team. Your show is the greatest KZbin channel. Please go to the Vimy Ridge memorial it's going to be huge this year. I cannot go but I have several friends that are going this year for the centennial. Canada's first huge independent success and a coming of age for the young country. Thanks guys keep up the good work.
