1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,259 so in this new video what we are going to see is a development of the world we 2 00:00:04,259 --> 00:00:07,440 are going to see the different phases of the world but now using the PowerPoint 3 00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:11,699 okay you have the other video explaining the world using the map the interactive 4 00:00:11,699 --> 00:00:16,920 map now we are going to explain the Second World War using the PowerPoint so 5 00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:22,859 the thing is as you know as you have seen in in the map or on the map sorry 6 00:00:22,859 --> 00:00:26,579 your what you have seen is that in the beginning in the beginning of the world 7 00:00:26,579 --> 00:00:30,359 what we are going to have is the Axis victories, no? Las victorias del eje, okay? 8 00:00:30,359 --> 00:00:36,299 It means the victories of Italy, of Germany, and Japan. So in the beginning, until 1942, more or less, 9 00:00:36,299 --> 00:00:41,159 what we are going to have is the victories of the Axis. It means France is going to be 10 00:00:42,700 --> 00:00:44,700 overcome, 11 00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:47,159 they are going to take over Germany, 12 00:00:47,740 --> 00:00:50,560 France, and they are going to attack Great Britain, 13 00:00:51,340 --> 00:00:53,579 that is going to resist a heavy 14 00:00:53,579 --> 00:01:00,119 attack so the idea is Poland is going to be invaded in three weeks okay remember 15 00:01:00,119 --> 00:01:07,519 that this invasion of Poland is going to start the September the 3rd of 1939 and 16 00:01:07,519 --> 00:01:13,140 Poland is going to be invaded in three weeks if you remember they are going to 17 00:01:13,140 --> 00:01:21,599 use the lightning war the blitzkrieg okay that means to attack using quick 18 00:01:21,599 --> 00:01:28,319 movements and using surprise attacks and also they are going to use armor 19 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:32,680 divisions along with soldiers so the idea is they are going to move tanks 20 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:37,959 along with some soldiers on the sides or behind and they are going to be they are 21 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:42,359 going to move really fast so the idea is they want to move they want to conquer 22 00:01:42,359 --> 00:01:50,200 Europe fast they do they want to conquer Europe fast because they thought that 23 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:56,019 that was the best way in order to not let the enemies prepare for the war okay 24 00:01:56,019 --> 00:02:05,079 so the idea is to attack and carry out surprise surprising attacks in order to 25 00:02:05,079 --> 00:02:11,080 to not let the enemies to prepare in order to defend their territories so 26 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:15,639 remember the Nazi Soviet pact this Nazi Soviet pact is the base for this 27 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:20,259 division of Poland in two sides the western side controlled by Germany and 28 00:02:20,259 --> 00:02:24,460 the eastern side controlled by the Soviet Union and Germany is going to 29 00:02:24,460 --> 00:02:27,879 invade Poland in three weeks only in three weeks okay they are going to 30 00:02:27,879 --> 00:02:31,960 attack and they are going to conquer this territory in three weeks they are 31 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:37,300 going to do it really fast and they are going to use this lightning war okay the 32 00:02:37,300 --> 00:02:41,379 lightning war or blitzkrieg the guerrilla power okay it's called 33 00:02:41,379 --> 00:02:44,860 guerrilla power because it's really fast okay so they are going to use this 34 00:02:44,860 --> 00:02:50,500 armored divisions it means tanks plus infantry and a strong aerial support it 35 00:02:50,500 --> 00:02:56,259 means we are going to use the tanks we are going to have this moto these 36 00:02:56,259 --> 00:03:00,639 motorbikes we are going to have these soldiers they are going to move fast 37 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:06,560 along with the tanks and what they want is to quickly take the different cities 38 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:11,240 and conquer the country okay so that's the idea they are going to fight 39 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:17,719 together the tanks along with the infantry and also the area support that 40 00:03:17,719 --> 00:03:22,939 is really really important so this type of war is based on what surprise attacks 41 00:03:22,939 --> 00:03:27,860 and quick advances so the idea is we want to move fast because we don't want 42 00:03:27,860 --> 00:03:33,099 the enemy to have the chance to attack us it means si atacamos alguien por la 43 00:03:33,099 --> 00:03:37,199 espalda no se ha preparado y podemos derrotarle the same idea the idea is a 44 00:03:37,199 --> 00:03:42,120 surprise attack in order to move quick in order moving fast or moving fast in 45 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:51,599 order to not let these these enemies to react to attack back to to the Germans 46 00:03:51,599 --> 00:03:56,939 okay so this is crucial this idea of blitzkrieg of lightning war or guerra 47 00:03:56,939 --> 00:04:02,159 relámpago is crucial okay so remember this lightning war is based on armor 48 00:04:02,159 --> 00:04:06,240 divisions means tanks plus infantry and also surprise attacks and quick 49 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:13,400 advances in 1940 Germany is going to invade most of Western Europe due to 50 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:18,560 this strategy they are going to invade Denmark remember the map Norway the 51 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:23,819 Netherlands Belgium and Northern and Western France so the idea is in 1940 52 00:04:23,819 --> 00:04:29,860 they are going to invade at the end of 1939 Western Poland and then they 53 00:04:29,860 --> 00:04:33,860 are going to attack Denmark, Norway, France, Belgium and the Netherlands they 54 00:04:33,860 --> 00:04:39,980 are going to conquer all these territories in less than a year okay in 55 00:04:39,980 --> 00:04:44,240 1940 okay in less than a year they are going to conquer all these territories 56 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:49,459 remember this region here in France is going to be the France of Vichy that is 57 00:04:49,459 --> 00:04:58,329 going to be controlled by the general Petain so the unique country that is 58 00:04:58,329 --> 00:05:01,750 going to resist the attack is going to be Great Britain as you can see France 59 00:05:01,750 --> 00:05:11,310 has fallen and the Soviet Union is not participating in the war due to the Nazi-Soviet pact. 60 00:05:11,310 --> 00:05:16,970 So the idea is Great Britain is going to resist the attack and this attack or this fight is 61 00:05:16,970 --> 00:05:19,569 going to be called the Battle of Britain. 62 00:05:19,569 --> 00:05:25,470 It means Great Britain is going to resist the German attack and this fight is going 63 00:05:25,470 --> 00:05:28,649 to be called Battle of Britain. 64 00:05:28,649 --> 00:05:37,269 the Luftwaffe, it means the airplanes, the air force, the German air force, the Nazi 65 00:05:37,269 --> 00:05:42,889 air force is going to attack, is going to bomb all these regions, London, the different 66 00:05:42,889 --> 00:05:49,050 cities in the coast, and they want to invade Great Britain, the idea is to defeat the United 67 00:05:49,050 --> 00:05:58,490 Kingdom and invade the United Kingdom, Dunkirk, the movie is talking about this battle, 68 00:05:58,490 --> 00:06:05,569 before this battle, so the idea is the Luftwaffe, it means the air force 69 00:06:05,569 --> 00:06:10,189 the Nazi air force is going to bomb the British ports and cities in order to 70 00:06:10,189 --> 00:06:13,970 prepare the Great Britain for the assault, the idea is we are going to bomb 71 00:06:13,970 --> 00:06:20,189 the different cities and then we will invade Great Britain, so that's the idea 72 00:06:20,189 --> 00:06:26,689 we are going to bomb the cities and we are going to prepare for launching 73 00:06:26,689 --> 00:06:32,550 the attack, the invasion. 74 00:06:32,550 --> 00:06:38,370 This is the Luftwaffe, as I said the Nazi air force. 75 00:06:38,370 --> 00:06:53,189 These are the data, this is the British planes lost during the months of the battle of Britain, 76 00:06:53,189 --> 00:06:55,089 as well as the German ones. 77 00:06:55,089 --> 00:06:59,329 this is the data the German data and these are the British data of course the 78 00:06:59,329 --> 00:07:05,329 British are saying that they have destroyed more planes than the Germans 79 00:07:05,329 --> 00:07:09,009 are saying it means if you are German you want to say okay we didn't lose that 80 00:07:09,009 --> 00:07:12,529 much but the British are going to say of course they are the enemies they are 81 00:07:12,529 --> 00:07:19,149 going to say okay we have a destroyed most of the planes okay if you check 82 00:07:19,149 --> 00:07:23,949 here what you see is the the number of deaths and injured people during this 83 00:07:23,949 --> 00:07:29,050 bombing attacks okay they are civilians okay so as you can see they are going to 84 00:07:29,050 --> 00:07:34,569 move they are going to they are going to be really high in the beginning they are 85 00:07:34,569 --> 00:07:42,610 going to tend to decrease later on the problem is Great Britain is going to 86 00:07:42,610 --> 00:07:46,589 resist what I explained on the map so the idea is Great Britain is going to 87 00:07:46,589 --> 00:07:50,790 resist so Hitler is going to decide to abort the mission the abort the mission 88 00:07:50,790 --> 00:07:57,529 of invading the islands so he is going to decide to do the same as Napoleon 89 00:07:57,529 --> 00:08:02,490 Let's establish a blockade against the British islands 90 00:08:02,490 --> 00:08:05,509 Let's try to end with the British economy 91 00:08:05,509 --> 00:08:11,029 And this blockade and the battle against Great Britain using this blockade 92 00:08:11,029 --> 00:08:14,589 This strategy is going to be called Battle of the Atlantic 93 00:08:14,589 --> 00:08:22,170 So Battle of Britain is the attack of Germany in order to conquest and invade Great Britain 94 00:08:22,170 --> 00:08:27,069 After this battle that is going to fail because Great Britain is going to resist 95 00:08:27,069 --> 00:08:32,889 Hitler is going to decide to order the blockade of the British Islands 96 00:08:32,889 --> 00:08:35,529 And this is going to be called the Battle of the Atlantic 97 00:08:35,529 --> 00:08:38,669 How they are going to develop this blockade? 98 00:08:39,149 --> 00:08:40,570 Using submarines 99 00:08:40,570 --> 00:08:44,169 So the idea is they are going to use submarines in the Atlantic Ocean 100 00:08:44,169 --> 00:08:45,730 Also part of Africa 101 00:08:45,730 --> 00:08:50,490 If you check the map, you can see in purple and pink 102 00:08:50,490 --> 00:08:54,289 The regions that they are going to be under the Axis control 103 00:08:54,289 --> 00:08:56,610 This is the Japanese Empire 104 00:08:56,610 --> 00:09:05,090 and this is the territories controlled by Germany and Italy. You see here 105 00:09:05,090 --> 00:09:10,049 Francia and Vichy, this is the France of Vichy, that is under control of 106 00:09:10,049 --> 00:09:16,129 the General Petain. So this is the blockade, Great Britain is going to 107 00:09:16,129 --> 00:09:21,009 resist so they are going to try to end with the British economy, how? Sinking all 108 00:09:21,009 --> 00:09:30,450 the ships that they could try to help Great Britain. And also what we are going 109 00:09:30,450 --> 00:09:36,049 see is not only the blockade but the nazis are going to intervene in the mediterranean 110 00:09:36,049 --> 00:09:42,850 in the mediterranean why they are going to uh intervene in the mediterranean okay so the thing 111 00:09:42,850 --> 00:09:51,090 is the italians are going to attack egypt okay from libya libya was a an italian colony so as 112 00:09:51,090 --> 00:09:57,250 you can as you saw in on the map they attack albania first they tried to invade greece but 113 00:09:57,250 --> 00:10:03,809 they couldn't so that the Nazis need to intervene and conquer Yugoslavia and Greece so what is 114 00:10:05,169 --> 00:10:08,690 what is going to happen in northern Africa is almost the same 115 00:10:11,250 --> 00:10:15,570 the Italians are going to attack Egypt they are going to attack Egypt from 116 00:10:15,570 --> 00:10:21,730 Libya but the problem is they are going to be defeated by the British so that Hitler decided 117 00:10:21,730 --> 00:10:28,029 to send one of his best generals Rommel he is going to be called El Zorro del 118 00:10:28,029 --> 00:10:32,649 Desierto and they are going to call him that because he is going to almost 119 00:10:32,649 --> 00:10:39,309 conquer Egypt okay he is going to defeat the British he is going to defeat the 120 00:10:39,309 --> 00:10:50,059 French and he is going to almost conquer Egypt okay here is Rommel and here is the 121 00:10:50,059 --> 00:10:56,159 situation in the map this is Libya Libya was under control of Italy so Italy is 122 00:10:56,159 --> 00:11:00,440 going to attack Egypt the problem is Italy is not is not going to be able to 123 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:05,659 defeat the British so that Germany is going to send Rommel to Libya and Rommel 124 00:11:05,659 --> 00:11:13,299 is going to start conquering Egypt as well as some the idea of Hitler was to 125 00:11:13,299 --> 00:11:19,519 attack India remember is a British colony as well as the Japanese are 126 00:11:19,519 --> 00:11:25,539 supposed to attack India from the east so the idea is the Germans will attack 127 00:11:25,539 --> 00:11:30,980 India from the west and the Japanese from the east but now we are talking 128 00:11:30,980 --> 00:11:36,639 about this Libya the the Italian Libya you see the the colon is controlled by 129 00:11:36,639 --> 00:11:41,759 the France officially so Libya is going to from Libya Italy is going to attack 130 00:11:41,759 --> 00:11:46,399 Egypt they are going to be defeated so that Hitler is going to send Rommel in 131 00:11:46,399 --> 00:11:54,899 order to conquer Egypt and in order to stop the advance of the British in 132 00:11:54,899 --> 00:12:00,220 Northern Africa. Of course, Rommel is going to succeed in the beginning. 133 00:12:00,220 --> 00:12:06,860 Remember, we are talking about until 1942. After 1942 the situation is going to 134 00:12:06,860 --> 00:12:13,759 change, okay? Yugoslavia and Greece is going to fall in April 1941, okay? 135 00:12:13,759 --> 00:12:23,559 Remember that Greece and Yugoslavia, we have talked about that, Italy trying to conquer Greece, they couldn't, so Germany needs to intervene. 136 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:31,879 So the intervention of Germany in Yugoslavia, Greece and Northern Africa is based on the failure of Italy. 137 00:12:31,879 --> 00:12:39,179 It means Italy is the weakest ally of Germany and due to the actions of Italy 138 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:44,500 Germany needs to intervene in northern Africa and needs to intervene in 139 00:12:46,220 --> 00:12:48,000 Yugoslavia and Greece 140 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:57,309 So you can see here the map the idea is you see here Rommel the Africa corpse with Rommel going to Libya March 141 00:12:58,230 --> 00:13:01,250 1941 April 1941 they are going to conquer 142 00:13:01,950 --> 00:13:03,629 Yugoslavia and Greece 143 00:13:03,629 --> 00:13:10,250 The idea is that Italy is useless. Italy does not manage to conquer Greece, it manages to conquer Albania, but it does not manage to conquer Greece. 144 00:13:10,429 --> 00:13:15,110 Therefore, from there, Germany intervenes, conquering Yugoslavia and Greece. 145 00:13:16,029 --> 00:13:18,509 Nor does Italy manage to have success in North Africa. 146 00:13:18,769 --> 00:13:24,350 Therefore, Germany is forced to send Rommel to defeat the Britannians. 147 00:13:27,460 --> 00:13:31,200 So, what is Hitler's mistake? The most important mistake. 148 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:41,940 the greatest mistake Hitler's mistake is going to be is going to be the to attack Russia okay 149 00:13:41,940 --> 00:13:49,139 in June 1941 remember in March they attack in northern Africa in April they conquered 150 00:13:49,139 --> 00:13:55,620 Yugoslavia and Greece and now in June in the same year 1941 Hitler is going to launch the 151 00:13:55,620 --> 00:14:02,340 the operation operation Barbarossa operation Barbarossa they are going to 152 00:14:02,340 --> 00:14:09,240 attack Russia and they are going to quickly reach Moscow and said and said 153 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:17,159 Leningrad or besieged Leningrad so the idea is in June this is March this is 154 00:14:17,159 --> 00:14:21,960 April and in June they are going to attack the Soviet Union remember the 155 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:28,500 soviet union is the enemy of germany the soviet union is communist okay so the idea is they are 156 00:14:28,500 --> 00:14:32,860 going to attack the soviet union and they are going to conquer all this territory really really 157 00:14:32,860 --> 00:14:38,200 fast the problem is they are going they are not going to reach moscow they are going to besiege 158 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:46,019 leningrad and they are going to be stopped here in stalingrad okay remember this battle we are 159 00:14:46,019 --> 00:14:52,820 to talk about it is more than six months from july till february 1943 okay almost six months 160 00:14:53,539 --> 00:15:01,539 fighting in a city imagine that six months fighting in a city only that okay and after 161 00:15:01,539 --> 00:15:07,379 this battle the war is not over after this battle the soviet union is going to advance but needs to 162 00:15:07,379 --> 00:15:15,009 fight against the germans so this is the advance as you can see leningrad is here moscow is here 163 00:15:15,009 --> 00:15:21,009 and stalingrad is here stalingrad is going to be the most important battle in the second world war 164 00:15:21,649 --> 00:15:29,230 they couldn't reach moscow and they are going to besiege leningrad the soviet union of course as 165 00:15:29,230 --> 00:15:35,470 it was attacked by germany they are going to join the allied forces it means they are going to ally 166 00:15:35,470 --> 00:15:42,669 great britain france etc okay the soviet union is not in the world yet we are talking about 167 00:15:42,669 --> 00:16:00,620 June 1941, I will say it, the USA is going to join in 1942, early 1942, so as well as 168 00:16:00,620 --> 00:16:06,179 Hitler is going to make a mistake, Japan is going to make another, what is the Japanese 169 00:16:06,179 --> 00:16:13,960 mistake, so is to attack Hawaii, is to attack Pearl Harbor, so this is the map, this is 170 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:22,019 the Japanese Empire, as you can see they are controlling most of Eastern Asia, they are 171 00:16:22,019 --> 00:16:28,320 controlling Manchuria, that is now called Manchukuo, they are controlling part of China, 172 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:34,379 they are controlling the French Indochina, Burma, Thailand, they are controlling Indonesia, 173 00:16:34,379 --> 00:16:39,460 they are controlling all these islands, the Philippines, ok, and what you can see is here 174 00:16:39,460 --> 00:16:45,159 is Hawaii here is Pearl Harbor okay what is the problem Japan is going to decide 175 00:16:45,159 --> 00:16:50,799 to attack Hawaii why Japan is going to attack to Hawaii why Japan is going to 176 00:16:50,799 --> 00:16:59,059 attack the USA Japan is going to decide that in order to defeat the USA the only 177 00:16:59,059 --> 00:17:04,900 option the unique option they have only one chance at that chance is to or that 178 00:17:04,900 --> 00:17:11,779 option is to attack first so they believe that if they attack first Hawaii 179 00:17:11,779 --> 00:17:18,380 they could make they could end with the American fleet and after that they will 180 00:17:18,380 --> 00:17:24,220 have the advantage in order to prevent another attack another American attack 181 00:17:24,220 --> 00:17:32,319 what is the problem when the Japanese Air Force attack an army attack Pearl 182 00:17:32,319 --> 00:17:41,319 harbor not all the fleet was in Pearl Harbor most of it was in Midway so that 183 00:17:41,319 --> 00:17:48,880 they couldn't reach their goal and the USA enter war after that Japan is going 184 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:56,640 to fight here island by island against the Americans okay so the idea is Japan 185 00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:00,660 is going to attack Pearl Harbor in Hawaii because he thought they thought 186 00:18:00,660 --> 00:18:09,480 that the unique option they had in order to defeat the USA was to attack first 187 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:17,700 was to end with the to end with the American fleet since the very beginning 188 00:18:17,700 --> 00:18:23,759 okay so that's the idea they are going to attack Hawaii and they expect to end 189 00:18:23,759 --> 00:18:29,400 with the American fleet so that they will have time enough to prepare the war 190 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:35,000 against the USA the problem is the USA is not going to have all the fleet in 191 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:38,940 Hawaii part of it is going to be midway and they are going to react they are 192 00:18:38,940 --> 00:18:45,180 going to attack back they are going to answer okay and they are going to start 193 00:18:45,180 --> 00:18:49,920 fighting island by island Japanese and American people and American soldiers 194 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:58,599 are going to be fighting island by island one each other so this is the 195 00:18:58,599 --> 00:19:03,220 attack this is the here is the fleet so what you are going to see is they are 196 00:19:03,220 --> 00:19:09,640 going to attack this Rio here is far from Japan and these are the movements 197 00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:20,680 of the different planes these are the areas under Japanese control as you can 198 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:31,940 see Hawaii is here but they are controlling most of Asia and well this 199 00:19:31,940 --> 00:19:36,859 is again Avetema with expansion the highest expansion of the of the 200 00:19:36,859 --> 00:19:40,279 Americans as you can see the Americans are going to answer and they are going 201 00:19:40,279 --> 00:19:45,440 to answer into they are going to fight the Japanese in two different places a 202 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:51,819 naval attack okay another attack in the in midway and the other one is going to 203 00:19:51,819 --> 00:19:57,079 be in Guadalcanal that is an island here so the Americans are going to attack 204 00:19:57,079 --> 00:20:01,319 here in midway and they are going to attack here in Guadalcanal okay so the 205 00:20:01,319 --> 00:20:06,339 idea is they are going to prepare two different armies two different american armies one is going 206 00:20:06,339 --> 00:20:10,940 to attack in midway and is going to advance through these islands to attack japan the other 207 00:20:10,940 --> 00:20:18,440 one is advanced from in the solomon islands okay these are the solomon islands to conquer new guinea 208 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:25,000 and then to attack manila to attack the philippines in order to attack later on japan so the idea is 209 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:33,000 attack Japan from two sides okay one side here the other side here okay 210 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:40,140 remember if you want to bomb Tokyo you need islands where from from where the 211 00:20:40,140 --> 00:20:46,059 the different planes are going to are going to attack the the the Japanese 212 00:20:46,059 --> 00:20:50,079 territory in order to do that you need to conquer these islands okay they cannot 213 00:20:50,079 --> 00:20:53,980 attack directly they need to go island by island okay because they need these 214 00:20:53,980 --> 00:21:02,700 islands in order to attack the main the main japanese archipelago here what you have is a 215 00:21:02,700 --> 00:21:10,380 youtube video is uh is extracted from from the from the film from the movie per harbor and you 216 00:21:10,380 --> 00:21:16,059 have there the minutes of the japanese attack if you want to see how was the the japanese attack 217 00:21:16,059 --> 00:21:24,009 please click on this video and you'll see the japanese attack the thing is until 1942 218 00:21:24,009 --> 00:21:32,329 as we have seen the Axis is having the advantage, it means Germany has almost conquered the whole 219 00:21:32,329 --> 00:21:40,569 European continent, Italy has been defeated but still an ally of Germany and they are fighting 220 00:21:40,569 --> 00:21:50,170 along with the Germans in Northern Africa and in Egypt and also in Eastern Europe they conquered 221 00:21:50,170 --> 00:21:55,049 Yugoslavia and Greece and now what we are going and also Japan that has attack 222 00:21:55,049 --> 00:22:00,069 Pearl Harbor so now what we have is the allied offensive it means how the allies 223 00:22:00,069 --> 00:22:05,789 are going to react and how the allies are going to finally start defeating the 224 00:22:05,789 --> 00:22:12,789 Axis so the turning point is this when the US and the Soviet Union enter war it 225 00:22:12,789 --> 00:22:20,990 It means June 1941, January 1942, ok? 226 00:22:20,990 --> 00:22:26,170 So the US is going to join the war due to the attack to Pearl Harbor, the Pearl Harbor 227 00:22:26,170 --> 00:22:30,690 attack, so the Americans are going to stop the Japanese advances in the Pacific, where 228 00:22:30,690 --> 00:22:34,690 Battle of Guadalcanal and Midway, what I have already explained. 229 00:22:34,690 --> 00:22:37,950 Remember here is Midway, remember here is Guadalcanal. 230 00:22:37,950 --> 00:22:41,710 The idea is to attack Japan from these islands. 231 00:22:41,710 --> 00:22:47,109 The idea is to liberate these islands, to liberate the Philippines that used to be American 232 00:22:47,109 --> 00:22:50,359 and then attack Japan. 233 00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:54,819 So here is the island of Guadalcanal that is part of the Somalaman Islands. 234 00:22:54,819 --> 00:23:00,799 If we zoom in here what we see is Guadalcanal is really small. 235 00:23:00,799 --> 00:23:05,480 Careful because the battles here in order to conquer these small islands is going to 236 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:12,119 last more than six months okay the battle of midway is going to be faster but these ones 237 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:20,829 are going to be a slow advance so they need to land okay and they are going to start dying in 238 00:23:20,829 --> 00:23:29,579 the different beaches so they started to reconquer this territory but they are going to lose a lot of 239 00:23:29,579 --> 00:23:35,180 soldiers okay the idea is they are going to advance from midway to these different islands 240 00:23:35,180 --> 00:23:44,619 the Carolinas, the Marianas in order to attack from these islands or Okinawa to attack Japan. 241 00:23:44,619 --> 00:23:49,579 The other one is to attack Guadalcanal and advance to New Guinea and then the Philippines 242 00:23:49,579 --> 00:23:54,500 and Borneo. 243 00:23:54,500 --> 00:23:57,220 In the same way the UK is going to react. 244 00:23:57,220 --> 00:24:02,960 The same way the Germans are going to be defeated finally in Northern Africa. 245 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:08,119 The battle is called El Alamein because it's the region, the area where this battle is 246 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:13,440 going to take place okay the idea is Egypt is going to be almost conquered by 247 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:18,599 the Germans but in this specific place in an Alamein Rommel is going to be 248 00:24:18,599 --> 00:24:27,180 defeated by the British and the by the British sorry so Rommel with the Italian 249 00:24:27,180 --> 00:24:34,299 and German forces are going to be defeated by the British let's see the 250 00:24:34,299 --> 00:24:39,579 map here are the italians here are the nazis and what you see is the british but not only the 251 00:24:39,579 --> 00:24:46,380 british you have greeks you have french people you have indian people you have a people from 252 00:24:46,380 --> 00:24:53,099 australia or the different colonies okay so the idea is all together are going to start defeating 253 00:24:53,099 --> 00:25:00,859 the italians are the germans and finally romell is going to be defeated okay romell is going to 254 00:25:00,859 --> 00:25:11,680 be defeated in 1943 so that here libya is going to be conquered by the british and also the americans 255 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:18,079 and the british are going to land here in northern africa in order to attack tunisia in order 256 00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:26,559 to defeat the germans here to attack sicily and italy remember italy is the weakest 257 00:25:26,559 --> 00:25:34,079 is the weakest ally of France so the idea is they are going to attack Italy or they are going to 258 00:25:34,079 --> 00:25:39,319 attack Tunisia in this case from two sides the western side that they are Americans and British 259 00:25:39,319 --> 00:25:44,980 and from the eastern side the British along with the people from the colonies in order to conquer 260 00:25:44,980 --> 00:25:53,220 Tunisia and attack Sicily and Italy so the Americans led by Eisenhower this is the this is 261 00:25:53,220 --> 00:26:01,819 the general he will be a president of the u.s in the 50s so the americans landed in french africa 262 00:26:01,819 --> 00:26:09,660 and conquered tunisia may 1493 after the british and america after that sorry the british and 263 00:26:09,660 --> 00:26:15,519 americans attacked sicily and italy what i said they are going to conquer tunisia okay may 1493 264 00:26:15,519 --> 00:26:19,900 while the British have defeated Rommel here in Libya 265 00:26:19,900 --> 00:26:24,200 so they are going to support the attack to Tunisia 266 00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:26,160 and then Sicily and Italy 267 00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:30,160 the idea is Western attack is going to be 268 00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,039 American, British and French 269 00:26:32,039 --> 00:26:34,339 and the Eastern attack is going to be 270 00:26:34,339 --> 00:26:36,480 Russian attack 271 00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:44,920 and finally if you have seen 272 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,000 we are talking about the Allied offensive 273 00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:48,859 we have seen this American offensive 274 00:26:48,859 --> 00:26:49,819 the UK offensive 275 00:26:49,819 --> 00:26:57,440 and now the soviet union offensive we have the battle of stalingrad as i said almost six more 276 00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:03,720 than six months fighting in this city in the city of stalingrad the russians finally are going to 277 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:09,900 defeat the germans okay and this is the moment when the so the the the russians the communists 278 00:27:09,900 --> 00:27:19,640 are going to start reconquering or conquering eastern europe so that's the idea after stalingrad 279 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:26,099 okay after more than six months fighting here they are going to move forward and they are going to 280 00:27:26,099 --> 00:27:33,559 start defeating the germans in eastern europe please do not think to the that defeating that 281 00:27:33,559 --> 00:27:41,880 to defeat the the germans was something easy a lot of casualties the russians are going to suffer 282 00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:50,039 a lot of casualties. The country that is going to have the most casualties is going to be 283 00:27:51,079 --> 00:27:58,680 the Soviet Union. So here is the Battle of Stalingrad, some pictures. They are fighting 284 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:07,400 in the city, the city is going to be devastated after the battle. You see here the communist flag, 285 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:13,960 they are fighting in the city and after six months the city is going to be under soviet control 286 00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:20,359 they are going to take back ukraine and they are going to end with the siege of 287 00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:31,480 Leningrad in january 1944. the siege started in june 1941 almost three years of siege 288 00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:41,920 900 days of siege so the idea is due to this victory against the Germans in the 289 00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:49,000 battle of Stalingrad in the battle of Stalingrad the Russians are going to be 290 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:55,180 able to take back Ukraine and to end with the siege of Leningrad so that's the 291 00:28:55,180 --> 00:28:59,740 idea this is here is Leningrad okay in 1944 they end with the siege and they 292 00:28:59,740 --> 00:29:08,400 are going to move forward they are going to take back ukraine that is region here as you can see 293 00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:17,200 here is ukraine here is leningrad this is the advance of the of the germans in in june 1941 294 00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:23,200 but the russians are going to move in after the battle of stalingrad here they are going to move 295 00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:28,400 in 1943 okay and they are going to end with the siege of leningrad and they are going to 296 00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:35,329 start conquering Eastern Europe the final assault the final assault in 297 00:29:35,329 --> 00:29:39,750 Western Europe is going to be led by the British the Americans and the French 298 00:29:39,750 --> 00:29:44,170 okay in Normandy they are going to they are going to be they are going to land 299 00:29:44,170 --> 00:29:49,710 the British and American troops in June 1944 okay remember January 1944 is when 300 00:29:49,710 --> 00:29:55,730 they ended with the siege of Leningrad so almost six five months later they are 301 00:29:55,730 --> 00:30:01,710 are going to start the Normandy landings okay it's really important this Normandy 302 00:30:01,710 --> 00:30:09,650 landings because what they are going to do they are going to open a new front 303 00:30:09,650 --> 00:30:15,009 okay they are going to attack here remember they the troops are attacking 304 00:30:15,009 --> 00:30:20,869 in Italy okay remember the map and they are going to attack now here so the idea 305 00:30:20,869 --> 00:30:25,309 is to conquer Western Europe why Eastern Europe is conquered by the communist is 306 00:30:25,309 --> 00:30:31,910 liberated by the communists these are the name of the different beaches Utah 307 00:30:31,910 --> 00:30:38,630 Omaha gold Juno and sword this is the most of the soldiers the nationality of 308 00:30:38,630 --> 00:30:45,529 most of the soldiers Americans Canadian Canadian and British one interesting 309 00:30:45,529 --> 00:30:52,250 fact is that there were Spanish people fighting here this Spanish people were 310 00:30:52,250 --> 00:30:57,369 Republicans they fought in the Spanish Civil War in favor of the Republic 311 00:30:57,369 --> 00:31:02,569 against Franco and they are now fighting along with these people in order to end 312 00:31:02,569 --> 00:31:10,470 with the Nazis remember for them Franco Hitler and Mussolini are the same okay 313 00:31:10,470 --> 00:31:17,470 and in so and to some extent they are the same so these are the Normandy 314 00:31:17,470 --> 00:31:22,670 landings as you can see they need to reach the beach and then they are going 315 00:31:22,670 --> 00:31:30,710 to land and start fighting and start dying of course so sorry for this for 316 00:31:30,710 --> 00:31:34,289 this for the photograph that you cannot see you you have in that photograph 317 00:31:34,289 --> 00:31:41,990 people dead on the beaches so after this Normandy landings the the Allies are 318 00:31:41,990 --> 00:31:46,049 going to start liberating France and occupy part of Germany remember the 319 00:31:46,049 --> 00:31:51,049 western part of Germany okay so they are going to advance northern from Italy and 320 00:31:51,049 --> 00:31:58,509 And they are going to attack here in Normandy and they are going to liberate France and move to conquer to liberate Germany 321 00:31:58,849 --> 00:32:05,410 While the Soviet Union is advances in is advanced advancing in Eastern Europe 322 00:32:06,769 --> 00:32:12,150 In Eastern Europe, what is going to happen is just the Soviet Union is going to live in Poland Romania Bulgaria, okay 323 00:32:13,049 --> 00:32:20,049 Poland is here Romania Bulgaria, etc is moving a forward until they are going to reach Berlin 324 00:32:20,049 --> 00:32:26,049 when is going to end everything in the moment that Hitler committed suicide the 325 00:32:26,049 --> 00:32:33,970 30th of April and in 8th May the Germans are going to surrender this is the end 326 00:32:33,970 --> 00:32:39,910 of the war but is the end of the war in Europe not the end of the complete war 327 00:32:39,910 --> 00:32:46,809 okay the war is not ended because there is the Pacific front still remains 328 00:32:46,809 --> 00:32:52,269 okay so Hitler is going to commit suicide the 30th April or April the 30th 329 00:32:52,269 --> 00:33:00,730 and in May the 8th Germany is going to surrender so the problem is the the the 330 00:33:00,730 --> 00:33:09,309 war is not over we still have the the we still have the the front the Pacific 331 00:33:09,309 --> 00:33:12,849 front so what we are going to see is how did the world the Second World War is 332 00:33:12,849 --> 00:33:20,289 going to end in the Pacific front in the Pacific area remember May the 8th is 333 00:33:20,289 --> 00:33:27,430 when the the war ended in Europe the war is going to end in September in the 334 00:33:27,430 --> 00:33:31,930 Pacific so the idea is the Americans are going to reconquer most of the 335 00:33:31,930 --> 00:33:36,430 territory where we were as I was explained before the idea is to conquer 336 00:33:36,430 --> 00:33:42,589 island by island in order to bomb an end with to force Japan to surrender okay so 337 00:33:42,589 --> 00:33:47,049 So they are going to be conquering, remember Guadalcanal, remember Midway, okay? 338 00:33:47,049 --> 00:33:57,269 So the idea is to conquer and take back the Philippines, while they want islands in order to bomb Japan. 339 00:33:58,650 --> 00:34:02,970 But the problem is Japan is going to continue this fanatical defense. 340 00:34:03,069 --> 00:34:04,589 They are going to use the kamikazes. 341 00:34:04,589 --> 00:34:11,630 A kamikaze is a soldier that is going to take a plane and is going to crash the plane into 342 00:34:11,630 --> 00:34:15,030 an enemy ship, an enemy boat. 343 00:34:15,030 --> 00:34:23,869 So the idea is they are going to commit suicide in order to try to end with the enemy's fleet. 344 00:34:23,869 --> 00:34:26,690 These are some of these kamikazes, ok? 345 00:34:26,690 --> 00:34:35,510 As you can see they are holding the katanas, the Japanese swords, and they are going to 346 00:34:35,510 --> 00:34:40,510 take their planes and they are going to crash the planes into the different ships, the different 347 00:34:40,510 --> 00:34:47,010 boats in order to try to kill as much Americans as they can. 348 00:34:47,010 --> 00:34:54,690 It means only one soldier killing a lot of Americans, that's the idea. 349 00:34:54,690 --> 00:35:02,369 As the war was ended in Europe and the USA was losing a lot of lives, a lot of soldiers 350 00:35:02,369 --> 00:35:10,190 in the Pacific, the new president, Truman, that is the successor of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, 351 00:35:10,190 --> 00:35:16,989 you may remember Franklin Delano Roosevelt from the New Deal, the New Deal policy in 352 00:35:16,989 --> 00:35:24,630 order to end with the crisis of 1929, so Truman is going to decide to use the atomic bombs. 353 00:35:24,630 --> 00:35:36,269 In order to shorten the war, they are going to drop to throw these bombs in August 1945 354 00:35:36,269 --> 00:35:44,809 two atomic bombs in these two ports, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Hiroshima and Nagasaki is going 355 00:35:44,809 --> 00:35:51,869 to be a commercial port, a really important port related to trade, so the idea is they 356 00:35:51,869 --> 00:35:59,389 are going to bomb these two cities in order to force japan to surrender because japan wanted to 357 00:35:59,389 --> 00:36:04,590 resist island by island so the thing is the americans are going to say the president of the 358 00:36:04,590 --> 00:36:10,349 u.s henry truman is going to say okay we need to shorten this war we need to shorten the war in 359 00:36:10,349 --> 00:36:19,710 order to avoid fighting or lose to lose more american lives so the idea is president truman 360 00:36:19,710 --> 00:36:28,010 is going to drop these bombs, these two atomic bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and finally 361 00:36:28,010 --> 00:36:33,110 of course after this the Japanese are going to surrender, why the Japanese are going to 362 00:36:33,110 --> 00:36:36,190 surrender after these two atomic bombs? 363 00:36:36,190 --> 00:36:44,150 Because of this reason, these are some images, this is the destruction of the cities, there 364 00:36:44,150 --> 00:36:53,090 is no houses everything is destroyed the people is burned alive okay all the 365 00:36:53,090 --> 00:36:58,389 people is just gone what you hear is a stairs what you have here is the shape 366 00:36:58,389 --> 00:37:06,510 of the people that they were just they integrated in that moment it means they 367 00:37:06,510 --> 00:37:13,429 are going to make them disappear there is no remains apart from the shadow of 368 00:37:13,429 --> 00:37:15,570 of the person. ¿Qué quiere decir? 369 00:37:15,710 --> 00:37:17,329 Esta es la silueta 370 00:37:17,329 --> 00:37:19,349 de la escalera y de la persona que estaba en la casa, 371 00:37:19,429 --> 00:37:21,429 al lado de la casa. Cae la bomba, la bomba 372 00:37:21,429 --> 00:37:23,510 lo fulmina, y lo que queda 373 00:37:23,510 --> 00:37:24,750 es la impresión 374 00:37:24,750 --> 00:37:27,530 en la casa de la persona que ahí había. 375 00:37:31,179 --> 00:37:32,599 More than 150 376 00:37:32,599 --> 00:37:34,300 people died in minutes. 377 00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:35,940 In minutes. 378 00:37:38,559 --> 00:37:40,519 ¿Ok? So the US 379 00:37:40,519 --> 00:37:43,099 lost 200,000 380 00:37:43,099 --> 00:37:44,199 people, it means 381 00:37:44,199 --> 00:37:46,659 50,000 382 00:37:46,659 --> 00:37:54,099 more during the whole war during three years but in minutes the japanese are going to lose 383 00:37:54,099 --> 00:38:02,340 almost the same number of people 150 000 people of course on september the second japan is going 384 00:38:02,340 --> 00:38:07,380 to surrender and the second world war ended and that's it the second world war ended in this 385 00:38:07,380 --> 00:38:14,099 moment the next point is the characteristics of the war and we will see that in the next video
