Wacky War Tactics in a Nutshell | BlueJay | History Teacher Reacts

[@MrTerry]

Which wacky war tactic would be most useful in World War 1?

[@iwantwins8016]

how did he do this 13 hours ago the video was uploaded like 14 minutes ago

For shame Terry, you can not have catapults in Hearts of Iron

[@jumper1680]

Probably the wine one Imagine just some British diplomats walking across no man's land to tell the german soldiers that if they could drink an outrageous amount of alcohol, the germans retreat.

[@Merennulli]

Allegedly they did have a small degree of success with the sacks and hammers strategy. Proving once again, anything can be melee combat if you try hard enough.

3:05 it gets even wackier When the SMS Cap Trafalgar, disguised as the RMS Carmania, engaged the real RMS Carmania, the real RMS Carmania was disguised as the SMS Cap Trafalgar. The Brits had the same idea as the Germans, and the fact that they happened to disguise their ship as the German ship that happened to be disguised as their ship that they were dosguising as the German ship, and then the two happened to come across each other, is one of the funniest coincidences in history in my opinion.

[@scholargrove]

Ocean liners were also extremely fast ships, able to outrun most any ship that might try to intercept them. It's also interesting to note, though this might be fictitious as I've done little research into the topic myself, that while the Cap Trafalgar did run into the ocean liner-turned-convoy raider it was disguised as, said ocean liner was supposedly also disguised as the Cap Trafalgar, meaning both crews would suddenly find themselves face to face with their own ships.

[@marquisdelafayette1929]

Im guessing it is because they didn’t have the heavy weaponry and reinforced hull etc and that’s why they were “faster “. Like it definitely would not be something that could take multiple hits and still a) make it back to port and b) be able to be repaired rather quickly. Like the US aircraft carriers in the Pacific in WW2 would get hammered and still be able to keep limping into port. It’s nuts. Like the Yorktown.

[@steven95N]

Lazerpig made an amazing video going into detail about the Cap Trafalgar. I'd recommend it. Lazerpig is a hidden gem.

[@TheMyrmo]

The more interesting parts of WW1 were definitely on the periphery, and there's a specific battle that took place in German East Africa that is covered in that other Bluejay video. Highly recommended.

[@nicholasvannucci124]

Thanks Mr. Terry. I wish I had you as my History Teacher. Maybe wouldn’t have dropped out of College if I had someone who cares as much as you.

[@Stephan-H]

Yes, we do want you to react to part 2! Also have a react/info to your own intro: what the pictures show and why you picked them.

[@oliversherman2414]

I laughed so hard at the anti-submarine tactics 😂

[@barrywerdell2614]

The author Nathaniel West wrote a play titled "Fox Hunting" set during WW1 when the war had devolved into a ghastly stalemate and each side was looking for ways to break free of it. An outpost near the front lines was always getting their dispatches stolen by the enemy so they would write absurd battle plans knowing they would be stolen. Then a new naive officer is assigned to the outpost and interrupts their little game and the enemy doesn't steal the absurd dispatches and they get sent to the front. The soldiers follow the crazy made-up orders and they start being victorious and gaining ground. The enemy adopts these absurd tactics and they start winning.

[@wak69]

8:17 That 5 percent of undelivered messages is because Captain Blackadder definitely didn't shoot a delicious plump-breasted pigeon

[@instantchaos2385]

lol i only got that because i've seen a YT short of that moment

[@Theturtleowl]

I legit thought that he had a sponsorship from a lingerie company too. The transition was just too perfect.

[@MrTerry]

[@quinlanmccormick35]

Lazer pig has an amazing I depth video on the trafalgar and British counterpart ship its amazing

[@GrendelCavern]

Dropped a like just for you actually remembering Handy Mandy

[@SamuraiX6288]

Yes, do all the BlueJay content. He’s awesome!

[@mikitz]

[@TheGallantDrake]

Lazerpig did a fun video about the Cap Trafalgar incident, the “great cruise liner duel” video

[@comradekommandmentklaus1848]

His video on escapes in history is definitely worth it.

[@tkfaf15]

wait a minute.........if you ended up sending a paratrooper with the pigeon........why do you need the pigeon at all?

[@varnasblade]

There is a creator called the fat electrician, his vids are short but they're all about odd and interesting weapons/vehicles and military stories I'd highly recommend checking him out

[@jmurray1110]

Reminds me of when the Russians strapped suicide jackets to hogs and taught them to run under tanks Slight issue was they were trained using Russian tanks so the digs hightailed to them instead of the Germans

[@doogles-lq9eb]

Of course there should be a part two hell id be happy with a full series reaction

[@MrTerry]

There’s a part 3?

[@doogles-lq9eb]

@@MrTerry i just looked yeah it was released 7 months ago

[@Tekdruid]

3:05 That moment in Team Fortress 2 when you're playing Spy and come across the enemy player you're currently disguised as.

[@jaxsom12]

yes please check out part 2! I love blue jay reactions

[@Little0cean]

I love how so many of there’s stories include Germany in some way. Us Germans are just in a silly goofy mood when it comes to war tactics.

[@badledgend1172]

[@WanderingWriter]

so does part 2

[@juliakovacs4885]

Blue Jay's stuff is awesome! I would also recommend checking out Jack Rakham's channel, he has a lot of cool content.

[@HA1LILPALAZZO]

you might wanna check out Lazerpigs video about the Cap Trafalger lol

[@mangantasy289]

On your final thoughts, yep, exactly: arms race. Even good old fashioned evolution does this. As an entomologist/arachnologist, one of the "craziest" findings of that in nature for me is the evolution of reproduction in spiders. IT basically comes from two different interests (VERY simplified): the female has a certain power to choose which sperm (from which sexual parter=futute daddy) she will use to fertilize her eggs. The males wants to make sure HE will be the chosen one and thus tries to foil her power of choice. It's way to much and to digressing to cover all of that here, but for anyone interested, I encourage you to do your research. It's a real exchange of blows of adaptions on both sides.

[@harutogames9204]

Funny enough pigeons are actually domesticated birds. They used to be pets for the rich, and i believe they make really good pets too.

[@sophiewhite6258]

Yes, you need to cover Part 2! Did you really have to ask?!?

[@wombat4191]

Finally he's back with the history videos! I mean, nothing wrong with memes but I enjoy it much more when Terry reacts to weird history stuff.

[@MrTerry]

It’s definitely hard to please the more serious history crowd AND the meme crowd.

[@trueredpanda1538]

Thats fair. Personaly, I really don't mind eighter of the videos. Terry himself is very entertaining, and I actully learn some new stuff here and there anyways. 😁

[@WuCSquad]

5:00 also the fact that they already supplied the UK and France through those sunk merchant ships with weapons from the beginning and thus were already a belligerent state.... but let's quickly forget that and only focus on actual declarations of war because otherwise we would draw comparisons with the modern day and the arms supply to Ukraine....
