World War II - Part 1 (WWI)

Dr. Roy Casagranda sets up the background to WWI and explains some of the moving parts of the brutal conflict. In parts 1 and 2, the question he's tying to answer is, "Why did WWII happen?"

[@zigravos]

About to sit through this but how the hell am I supposed to pay attention to a dr. Casagranda talk if he's not gesticulating and pacing all over the place?!?! That's like %50 of the fun and the inculcating/inoculating prowess of this man. Praying for the quick mending of that ailed limb, that literal pillar of knowledge. Salam

[@parvezhussain691]

Yes, praying he makes a speedy recovery.

[@amrkandeel2]

My thoughts exactly, it was sad to see someone I care about in pain, but my next thought (a selfish one) was how would that work for me? but as usual he proved me wrong. He is just as engaging and informative as ever. Salaams

@@irie1tes there are a ton of them.. Prof Casagrada is a very talented story teller, but he's also idelogically blinkered. I couldn't easily catch him on his tales of the Islamic Conquests, but Here he wanders into historical territory that I know extremely well and the entire tale is full of ideological twists and falsehoods.. the supposed "blooodthirst" comment, etc.. it's all very bad history. Also as mentioned below.. dead and completely wrong re main reasons for British to enter the war.

Salam from Ramallah Dr. Casagandra , may you please tell the story of the Nakba or Omar AlKhattab. My family sits and watches your lectures and in a time when school is shut because of the war , you bring knowledge and experience that even our best teachers can’t accomplish with a powerful engaging way. My children benefit immensely as do I. Also may you recover soon our thoughts and prayers are with you.

[@christopherbettridge5983]

I must admit to having the same "mental illness" as Dr. Casagranda when it comes to the period of history we now as The Second World War; I don't know why my brain is so overwhelmingly enthralled by the subject but I have a few theories. Regardless, Dr. Casagranda and I would likely have a grand time discussing the minutia of the historical events; I've been studying the period from mid-to-late 1860's through 1945-46, and he's one of the few individuals who (thus far at least) have their bloody facts not only accurate but chronologically correct. I look forward to Part 2. Thank you for your time
