To be fair: The Art of War was written as the most basic advice possible for ancient nobles who had zero idea how to war. On War was intended to be an overview of modern war for military officers in training / already trained in the early to mid 1800s. Both are really good at what they're trying to do, it's just that they're not trying to do quite the same thing.

7:36 The really crazy part is there was one American guy who went out of his way to bayonet charge a German machine gun at 10:59 am. The Germans tried to wave him off, then fired warning shots, but he wouldn't stop, so they finally shot and killed him. He was the last known soldier to die in combat in WW1.

@@fandyus4125 Less a case of blood thirst I think and more a case of suicide by German.

[@matthewdossantos1414]

@@fandyus4125 I think the reason he charged the Germans was to reclaim his honor. Earlier in the war he had been demoted for writing home about the terrors of the war and encouraging people who were resisting the draft. He was shamed and put down, and he felt his only chance to reclaim his honor was to defeat a group of Germans, specifically a German machine-gun nest which was guarding a road blockade. While I don't believe taking the lives of the enemy when they weren't a threat at all is worth it to reclaim your honor, it is important to recognize his motive wasn't simply bloodthirst.

5:28 Fun fact: the Allies did actually have plans to nuke Berlin first before Japan became the last member of the Axis still standing, but the reason that never happened was because it fell to the Soviets sooner than many anticipated.

[@asordidlobster]

Also fun fact: the first country to actually drop the nuclear bomb could have been Britain, as the American's didn't exactly have a bomber that had a long enough range to get to the target while carrying the massive bomb, only the British Lancaster could. So when the B-29 was made available, they scrapped the plans with the British bomber.

“Why are so many world leaders falling?” It’s because they are all ancient.

[@user-dl1bs6lm1g]

In the battle of Adua 10,000 Italian troops and 7,000 Eritrean troops were defeated by 70,000 - 150,000 Ethiopians, which were armed and supported by the British and the French. On top of that the Ethiopians had a superior knowledge of of terrain. One does not have to be an expert to understand that it was not a humiliating defeat at all, if anything it's a miracle that the result was not worse considering the odds. People seem to think that the Ethiopians were armed with sticks and stones only because they are African.

[@Boretheory]

Exactly plus Italy still had regional issues and the commanders of the small Italian force didn’t collaborate which meant the Ethiopians were fighting 2 armies of 3/5k separately.

[@learnjazzmusic]

The humiliation comes the Italian government thinking they could take Ethiopia with just few men, completely underestimating the Ethiopian's number and generals. "Ethiopians being armed with sticks and stones only because they are African." is literally what the Italy though about them.

Adrian Carton De Wiart the "Frankly, I enjoyed the war" guy ( who, btw, also described another war as the single greatest experience of his life), is surely a candidate for most interesting man in the world. You could do an entire video just on memes about his life, really someone worth taking a look at, he'd probably take a look at you, but it would has slight perspective problem, because he lost an eye (and more) to war.....yet, still said what he did about his life as a soldier.

1:37 No Drew, the reason why the Monroe doctrine didn't apply is that Falklanders want to stay in the UK so it's not colonization. Same reason why French Guinea is still a part of France, they had plenty of referendum that showed they wanted to remain a part of France so they're still a part of France and the US don't care. Also, since there were no Native American on the Falkland Islands, that technically makes the British, who had the first colony there, the actual natives of the Falklands.

[@georgiandude4810]

Wasn't the french technically first and they sold it to Spain because Pope and line on the map

[@giantWario]

@@georgiandude4810 Nope, not even remotely close. The English discovered it in 1690 and the French in 1764. But yeah, Argentinians try to pretend otherwise as much as possible because their bogus claim on the islands would become even more bogus. Also, the Treaty of Torsadillas was between Spain and Portugal. No other country cared or had any reason to care, France sold it to Spain because Spain wanted it and they were allies, that's about it.
