so in this new video what we are going to see is a development of the world we
00:00:00
are going to see the different phases of the world but now using the PowerPoint
00:00:04
okay you have the other video explaining the world using the map the interactive
00:00:07
map now we are going to explain the Second World War using the PowerPoint so
00:00:11
the thing is as you know as you have seen in in the map or on the map sorry
00:00:16
your what you have seen is that in the beginning in the beginning of the world
00:00:22
what we are going to have is the Axis victories, no? Las victorias del eje, okay?
00:00:26
It means the victories of Italy, of Germany, and Japan. So in the beginning, until 1942, more or less,
00:00:30
what we are going to have is the victories of the Axis. It means France is going to be
00:00:36
overcome,
00:00:42
they are going to take over Germany,
00:00:45
France, and they are going to attack Great Britain,
00:00:47
that is going to resist a heavy
00:00:51
attack so the idea is Poland is going to be invaded in three weeks okay remember
00:00:53
that this invasion of Poland is going to start the September the 3rd of 1939 and
00:01:00
Poland is going to be invaded in three weeks if you remember they are going to
00:01:07
use the lightning war the blitzkrieg okay that means to attack using quick
00:01:13
movements and using surprise attacks and also they are going to use armor
00:01:21
divisions along with soldiers so the idea is they are going to move tanks
00:01:28
along with some soldiers on the sides or behind and they are going to be they are
00:01:32
going to move really fast so the idea is they want to move they want to conquer
00:01:37
Europe fast they do they want to conquer Europe fast because they thought that
00:01:42
that was the best way in order to not let the enemies prepare for the war okay
00:01:50
so the idea is to attack and carry out surprise surprising attacks in order to
00:01:56
to not let the enemies to prepare in order to defend their territories so
00:02:05
remember the Nazi Soviet pact this Nazi Soviet pact is the base for this
00:02:11
division of Poland in two sides the western side controlled by Germany and
00:02:15
the eastern side controlled by the Soviet Union and Germany is going to
00:02:20
invade Poland in three weeks only in three weeks okay they are going to
00:02:24
attack and they are going to conquer this territory in three weeks they are
00:02:27
going to do it really fast and they are going to use this lightning war okay the
00:02:31
lightning war or blitzkrieg the guerrilla power okay it's called
00:02:37
guerrilla power because it's really fast okay so they are going to use this
00:02:41
armored divisions it means tanks plus infantry and a strong aerial support it
00:02:44
means we are going to use the tanks we are going to have this moto these
00:02:50
motorbikes we are going to have these soldiers they are going to move fast
00:02:56
along with the tanks and what they want is to quickly take the different cities
00:03:00
and conquer the country okay so that's the idea they are going to fight
00:03:06
together the tanks along with the infantry and also the area support that
00:03:11
is really really important so this type of war is based on what surprise attacks
00:03:17
and quick advances so the idea is we want to move fast because we don't want
00:03:22
the enemy to have the chance to attack us it means si atacamos alguien por la
00:03:27
espalda no se ha preparado y podemos derrotarle the same idea the idea is a
00:03:33
surprise attack in order to move quick in order moving fast or moving fast in
00:03:37
order to not let these these enemies to react to attack back to to the Germans
00:03:42
okay so this is crucial this idea of blitzkrieg of lightning war or guerra
00:03:51
relámpago is crucial okay so remember this lightning war is based on armor
00:03:56
divisions means tanks plus infantry and also surprise attacks and quick
00:04:02
advances in 1940 Germany is going to invade most of Western Europe due to
00:04:06
this strategy they are going to invade Denmark remember the map Norway the
00:04:13
Netherlands Belgium and Northern and Western France so the idea is in 1940
00:04:18
they are going to invade at the end of 1939 Western Poland and then they
00:04:23
are going to attack Denmark, Norway, France, Belgium and the Netherlands they
00:04:29
are going to conquer all these territories in less than a year okay in
00:04:33
1940 okay in less than a year they are going to conquer all these territories
00:04:39
remember this region here in France is going to be the France of Vichy that is
00:04:44
going to be controlled by the general Petain so the unique country that is
00:04:49
going to resist the attack is going to be Great Britain as you can see France
00:04:58
has fallen and the Soviet Union is not participating in the war due to the Nazi-Soviet pact.
00:05:01
So the idea is Great Britain is going to resist the attack and this attack or this fight is
00:05:11
going to be called the Battle of Britain.
00:05:16
It means Great Britain is going to resist the German attack and this fight is going
00:05:19
to be called Battle of Britain.
00:05:25
the Luftwaffe, it means the airplanes, the air force, the German air force, the Nazi
00:05:28
air force is going to attack, is going to bomb all these regions, London, the different
00:05:37
cities in the coast, and they want to invade Great Britain, the idea is to defeat the United
00:05:42
Kingdom and invade the United Kingdom, Dunkirk, the movie is talking about this battle,
00:05:49
before this battle, so the idea is the Luftwaffe, it means the air force
00:05:58
the Nazi air force is going to bomb the British ports and cities in order to
00:06:05
prepare the Great Britain for the assault, the idea is we are going to bomb
00:06:10
the different cities and then we will invade Great Britain, so that's the idea
00:06:13
we are going to bomb the cities and we are going to prepare for launching
00:06:20
the attack, the invasion.
00:06:26
This is the Luftwaffe, as I said the Nazi air force.
00:06:32
These are the data, this is the British planes lost during the months of the battle of Britain,
00:06:38
as well as the German ones.
00:06:53
this is the data the German data and these are the British data of course the
00:06:55
British are saying that they have destroyed more planes than the Germans
00:06:59
are saying it means if you are German you want to say okay we didn't lose that
00:07:05
much but the British are going to say of course they are the enemies they are
00:07:09
going to say okay we have a destroyed most of the planes okay if you check
00:07:12
here what you see is the the number of deaths and injured people during this
00:07:19
bombing attacks okay they are civilians okay so as you can see they are going to
00:07:23
move they are going to they are going to be really high in the beginning they are
00:07:29
going to tend to decrease later on the problem is Great Britain is going to
00:07:34
resist what I explained on the map so the idea is Great Britain is going to
00:07:42
resist so Hitler is going to decide to abort the mission the abort the mission
00:07:46
of invading the islands so he is going to decide to do the same as Napoleon
00:07:50
Let's establish a blockade against the British islands
00:07:57
Let's try to end with the British economy
00:08:02
And this blockade and the battle against Great Britain using this blockade
00:08:05
This strategy is going to be called Battle of the Atlantic
00:08:11
So Battle of Britain is the attack of Germany in order to conquest and invade Great Britain
00:08:14
After this battle that is going to fail because Great Britain is going to resist
00:08:22
Hitler is going to decide to order the blockade of the British Islands
00:08:27
And this is going to be called the Battle of the Atlantic
00:08:32
How they are going to develop this blockade?
00:08:35
Using submarines
00:08:39
So the idea is they are going to use submarines in the Atlantic Ocean
00:08:40
Also part of Africa
00:08:44
If you check the map, you can see in purple and pink
00:08:45
The regions that they are going to be under the Axis control
00:08:50
This is the Japanese Empire
00:08:54
and this is the territories controlled by Germany and Italy. You see here
00:08:56
Francia and Vichy, this is the France of Vichy, that is under control of
00:09:05
the General Petain. So this is the blockade, Great Britain is going to
00:09:10
resist so they are going to try to end with the British economy, how? Sinking all
00:09:16
the ships that they could try to help Great Britain. And also what we are going
00:09:21
see is not only the blockade but the nazis are going to intervene in the mediterranean
00:09:30
in the mediterranean why they are going to uh intervene in the mediterranean okay so the thing
00:09:36
is the italians are going to attack egypt okay from libya libya was a an italian colony so as
00:09:42
you can as you saw in on the map they attack albania first they tried to invade greece but
00:09:51
they couldn't so that the Nazis need to intervene and conquer Yugoslavia and Greece so what is
00:09:57
what is going to happen in northern Africa is almost the same
00:10:05
the Italians are going to attack Egypt they are going to attack Egypt from
00:10:11
Libya but the problem is they are going to be defeated by the British so that Hitler decided
00:10:15
to send one of his best generals Rommel he is going to be called El Zorro del
00:10:21
Desierto and they are going to call him that because he is going to almost
00:10:28
conquer Egypt okay he is going to defeat the British he is going to defeat the
00:10:32
French and he is going to almost conquer Egypt okay here is Rommel and here is the
00:10:39
situation in the map this is Libya Libya was under control of Italy so Italy is
00:10:50
going to attack Egypt the problem is Italy is not is not going to be able to
00:10:56
defeat the British so that Germany is going to send Rommel to Libya and Rommel
00:11:00
is going to start conquering Egypt as well as some the idea of Hitler was to
00:11:05
attack India remember is a British colony as well as the Japanese are
00:11:13
supposed to attack India from the east so the idea is the Germans will attack
00:11:19
India from the west and the Japanese from the east but now we are talking
00:11:25
about this Libya the the Italian Libya you see the the colon is controlled by
00:11:30
the France officially so Libya is going to from Libya Italy is going to attack
00:11:36
Egypt they are going to be defeated so that Hitler is going to send Rommel in
00:11:41
order to conquer Egypt and in order to stop the advance of the British in
00:11:46
Northern Africa. Of course, Rommel is going to succeed in the beginning.
00:11:54
Remember, we are talking about until 1942. After 1942 the situation is going to
00:12:00
change, okay? Yugoslavia and Greece is going to fall in April 1941, okay?
00:12:06
Remember that Greece and Yugoslavia, we have talked about that, Italy trying to conquer Greece, they couldn't, so Germany needs to intervene.
00:12:13
So the intervention of Germany in Yugoslavia, Greece and Northern Africa is based on the failure of Italy.
00:12:24
It means Italy is the weakest ally of Germany and due to the actions of Italy
00:12:31
Germany needs to intervene in northern Africa and needs to intervene in
00:12:39
Yugoslavia and Greece
00:12:46
So you can see here the map the idea is you see here Rommel the Africa corpse with Rommel going to Libya March
00:12:48
1941 April 1941 they are going to conquer
00:12:58
Yugoslavia and Greece
00:13:01
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.
00:13:03
Therefore, from there, Germany intervenes, conquering Yugoslavia and Greece.
00:13:10
Nor does Italy manage to have success in North Africa.
00:13:16
Therefore, Germany is forced to send Rommel to defeat the Britannians.
00:13:18
So, what is Hitler's mistake? The most important mistake.
00:13:27
the greatest mistake Hitler's mistake is going to be is going to be the to attack Russia okay
00:13:31
in June 1941 remember in March they attack in northern Africa in April they conquered
00:13:41
Yugoslavia and Greece and now in June in the same year 1941 Hitler is going to launch the
00:13:49
the operation operation Barbarossa operation Barbarossa they are going to
00:13:55
attack Russia and they are going to quickly reach Moscow and said and said
00:14:02
Leningrad or besieged Leningrad so the idea is in June this is March this is
00:14:09
April and in June they are going to attack the Soviet Union remember the
00:14:17
soviet union is the enemy of germany the soviet union is communist okay so the idea is they are
00:14:21
going to attack the soviet union and they are going to conquer all this territory really really
00:14:28
fast the problem is they are going they are not going to reach moscow they are going to besiege
00:14:32
leningrad and they are going to be stopped here in stalingrad okay remember this battle we are
00:14:38
to talk about it is more than six months from july till february 1943 okay almost six months
00:14:46
fighting in a city imagine that six months fighting in a city only that okay and after
00:14:53
this battle the war is not over after this battle the soviet union is going to advance but needs to
00:15:01
fight against the germans so this is the advance as you can see leningrad is here moscow is here
00:15:07
and stalingrad is here stalingrad is going to be the most important battle in the second world war
00:15:15
they couldn't reach moscow and they are going to besiege leningrad the soviet union of course as
00:15:21
it was attacked by germany they are going to join the allied forces it means they are going to ally
00:15:29
great britain france etc okay the soviet union is not in the world yet we are talking about
00:15:35
June 1941, I will say it, the USA is going to join in 1942, early 1942, so as well as
00:15:42
Hitler is going to make a mistake, Japan is going to make another, what is the Japanese
00:16:00
mistake, so is to attack Hawaii, is to attack Pearl Harbor, so this is the map, this is
00:16:06
the Japanese Empire, as you can see they are controlling most of Eastern Asia, they are
00:16:13
controlling Manchuria, that is now called Manchukuo, they are controlling part of China,
00:16:22
they are controlling the French Indochina, Burma, Thailand, they are controlling Indonesia,
00:16:28
they are controlling all these islands, the Philippines, ok, and what you can see is here
00:16:34
is Hawaii here is Pearl Harbor okay what is the problem Japan is going to decide
00:16:39
to attack Hawaii why Japan is going to attack to Hawaii why Japan is going to
00:16:45
attack the USA Japan is going to decide that in order to defeat the USA the only
00:16:50
option the unique option they have only one chance at that chance is to or that
00:16:59
option is to attack first so they believe that if they attack first Hawaii
00:17:04
they could make they could end with the American fleet and after that they will
00:17:11
have the advantage in order to prevent another attack another American attack
00:17:18
what is the problem when the Japanese Air Force attack an army attack Pearl
00:17:24
harbor not all the fleet was in Pearl Harbor most of it was in Midway so that
00:17:32
they couldn't reach their goal and the USA enter war after that Japan is going
00:17:41
to fight here island by island against the Americans okay so the idea is Japan
00:17:48
is going to attack Pearl Harbor in Hawaii because he thought they thought
00:17:56
that the unique option they had in order to defeat the USA was to attack first
00:18:00
was to end with the to end with the American fleet since the very beginning
00:18:09
okay so that's the idea they are going to attack Hawaii and they expect to end
00:18:17
with the American fleet so that they will have time enough to prepare the war
00:18:23
against the USA the problem is the USA is not going to have all the fleet in
00:18:29
Hawaii part of it is going to be midway and they are going to react they are
00:18:35
going to attack back they are going to answer okay and they are going to start
00:18:38
fighting island by island Japanese and American people and American soldiers
00:18:45
are going to be fighting island by island one each other so this is the
00:18:49
attack this is the here is the fleet so what you are going to see is they are
00:18:58
going to attack this Rio here is far from Japan and these are the movements
00:19:03
of the different planes these are the areas under Japanese control as you can
00:19:09
see Hawaii is here but they are controlling most of Asia and well this
00:19:20
is again Avetema with expansion the highest expansion of the of the
00:19:31
Americans as you can see the Americans are going to answer and they are going
00:19:36
to answer into they are going to fight the Japanese in two different places a
00:19:40
naval attack okay another attack in the in midway and the other one is going to
00:19:45
be in Guadalcanal that is an island here so the Americans are going to attack
00:19:51
here in midway and they are going to attack here in Guadalcanal okay so the
00:19:57
idea is they are going to prepare two different armies two different american armies one is going
00:20:01
to attack in midway and is going to advance through these islands to attack japan the other
00:20:06
one is advanced from in the solomon islands okay these are the solomon islands to conquer new guinea
00:20:10
and then to attack manila to attack the philippines in order to attack later on japan so the idea is
00:20:18
attack Japan from two sides okay one side here the other side here okay
00:20:25
remember if you want to bomb Tokyo you need islands where from from where the
00:20:33
the different planes are going to are going to attack the the the Japanese
00:20:40
territory in order to do that you need to conquer these islands okay they cannot
00:20:46
attack directly they need to go island by island okay because they need these
00:20:50
islands in order to attack the main the main japanese archipelago here what you have is a
00:20:53
youtube video is uh is extracted from from the from the film from the movie per harbor and you
00:21:02
have there the minutes of the japanese attack if you want to see how was the the japanese attack
00:21:10
please click on this video and you'll see the japanese attack the thing is until 1942
00:21:16
as we have seen the Axis is having the advantage, it means Germany has almost conquered the whole
00:21:24
European continent, Italy has been defeated but still an ally of Germany and they are fighting
00:21:32
along with the Germans in Northern Africa and in Egypt and also in Eastern Europe they conquered
00:21:40
Yugoslavia and Greece and now what we are going and also Japan that has attack
00:21:50
Pearl Harbor so now what we have is the allied offensive it means how the allies
00:21:55
are going to react and how the allies are going to finally start defeating the
00:22:00
Axis so the turning point is this when the US and the Soviet Union enter war it
00:22:05
It means June 1941, January 1942, ok?
00:22:12
So the US is going to join the war due to the attack to Pearl Harbor, the Pearl Harbor
00:22:20
attack, so the Americans are going to stop the Japanese advances in the Pacific, where
00:22:26
Battle of Guadalcanal and Midway, what I have already explained.
00:22:30
Remember here is Midway, remember here is Guadalcanal.
00:22:34
The idea is to attack Japan from these islands.
00:22:37
The idea is to liberate these islands, to liberate the Philippines that used to be American
00:22:41
and then attack Japan.
00:22:47
So here is the island of Guadalcanal that is part of the Somalaman Islands.
00:22:50
If we zoom in here what we see is Guadalcanal is really small.
00:22:54
Careful because the battles here in order to conquer these small islands is going to
00:23:00
last more than six months okay the battle of midway is going to be faster but these ones
00:23:05
are going to be a slow advance so they need to land okay and they are going to start dying in
00:23:12
the different beaches so they started to reconquer this territory but they are going to lose a lot of
00:23:20
soldiers okay the idea is they are going to advance from midway to these different islands
00:23:29
the Carolinas, the Marianas in order to attack from these islands or Okinawa to attack Japan.
00:23:35
The other one is to attack Guadalcanal and advance to New Guinea and then the Philippines
00:23:44
and Borneo.
00:23:49
In the same way the UK is going to react.
00:23:54
The same way the Germans are going to be defeated finally in Northern Africa.
00:23:57
The battle is called El Alamein because it's the region, the area where this battle is
00:24:02
going to take place okay the idea is Egypt is going to be almost conquered by
00:24:08
the Germans but in this specific place in an Alamein Rommel is going to be
00:24:13
defeated by the British and the by the British sorry so Rommel with the Italian
00:24:18
and German forces are going to be defeated by the British let's see the
00:24:27
map here are the italians here are the nazis and what you see is the british but not only the
00:24:34
british you have greeks you have french people you have indian people you have a people from
00:24:39
australia or the different colonies okay so the idea is all together are going to start defeating
00:24:46
the italians are the germans and finally romell is going to be defeated okay romell is going to
00:24:53
be defeated in 1943 so that here libya is going to be conquered by the british and also the americans
00:25:00
and the british are going to land here in northern africa in order to attack tunisia in order
00:25:11
to defeat the germans here to attack sicily and italy remember italy is the weakest
00:25:18
is the weakest ally of France so the idea is they are going to attack Italy or they are going to
00:25:26
attack Tunisia in this case from two sides the western side that they are Americans and British
00:25:34
and from the eastern side the British along with the people from the colonies in order to conquer
00:25:39
Tunisia and attack Sicily and Italy so the Americans led by Eisenhower this is the this is
00:25:44
the general he will be a president of the u.s in the 50s so the americans landed in french africa
00:25:53
and conquered tunisia may 1493 after the british and america after that sorry the british and
00:26:01
americans attacked sicily and italy what i said they are going to conquer tunisia okay may 1493
00:26:09
while the British have defeated Rommel here in Libya
00:26:15
so they are going to support the attack to Tunisia
00:26:19
and then Sicily and Italy
00:26:24
the idea is Western attack is going to be
00:26:26
American, British and French
00:26:30
and the Eastern attack is going to be
00:26:32
Russian attack
00:26:34
and finally if you have seen
00:26:36
we are talking about the Allied offensive
00:26:44
we have seen this American offensive
00:26:47
the UK offensive
00:26:48
and now the soviet union offensive we have the battle of stalingrad as i said almost six more
00:26:49
than six months fighting in this city in the city of stalingrad the russians finally are going to
00:26:57
defeat the germans okay and this is the moment when the so the the the russians the communists
00:27:03
are going to start reconquering or conquering eastern europe so that's the idea after stalingrad
00:27:09
okay after more than six months fighting here they are going to move forward and they are going to
00:27:19
start defeating the germans in eastern europe please do not think to the that defeating that
00:27:26
to defeat the the germans was something easy a lot of casualties the russians are going to suffer
00:27:33
a lot of casualties. The country that is going to have the most casualties is going to be
00:27:41
the Soviet Union. So here is the Battle of Stalingrad, some pictures. They are fighting
00:27:51
in the city, the city is going to be devastated after the battle. You see here the communist flag,
00:27:58
they are fighting in the city and after six months the city is going to be under soviet control
00:28:07
they are going to take back ukraine and they are going to end with the siege of
00:28:14
Leningrad in january 1944. the siege started in june 1941 almost three years of siege
00:28:20
900 days of siege so the idea is due to this victory against the Germans in the
00:28:31
battle of Stalingrad in the battle of Stalingrad the Russians are going to be
00:28:41
able to take back Ukraine and to end with the siege of Leningrad so that's the
00:28:49
idea this is here is Leningrad okay in 1944 they end with the siege and they
00:28:55
are going to move forward they are going to take back ukraine that is region here as you can see
00:28:59
here is ukraine here is leningrad this is the advance of the of the germans in in june 1941
00:29:08
but the russians are going to move in after the battle of stalingrad here they are going to move
00:29:17
in 1943 okay and they are going to end with the siege of leningrad and they are going to
00:29:23
start conquering Eastern Europe the final assault the final assault in
00:29:28
Western Europe is going to be led by the British the Americans and the French
00:29:35
okay in Normandy they are going to they are going to be they are going to land
00:29:39
the British and American troops in June 1944 okay remember January 1944 is when
00:29:44
they ended with the siege of Leningrad so almost six five months later they are
00:29:49
are going to start the Normandy landings okay it's really important this Normandy
00:29:55
landings because what they are going to do they are going to open a new front
00:30:01
okay they are going to attack here remember they the troops are attacking
00:30:09
in Italy okay remember the map and they are going to attack now here so the idea
00:30:15
is to conquer Western Europe why Eastern Europe is conquered by the communist is
00:30:20
liberated by the communists these are the name of the different beaches Utah
00:30:25
Omaha gold Juno and sword this is the most of the soldiers the nationality of
00:30:31
most of the soldiers Americans Canadian Canadian and British one interesting
00:30:38
fact is that there were Spanish people fighting here this Spanish people were
00:30:45
Republicans they fought in the Spanish Civil War in favor of the Republic
00:30:52
against Franco and they are now fighting along with these people in order to end
00:30:57
with the Nazis remember for them Franco Hitler and Mussolini are the same okay
00:31:02
and in so and to some extent they are the same so these are the Normandy
00:31:10
landings as you can see they need to reach the beach and then they are going
00:31:17
to land and start fighting and start dying of course so sorry for this for
00:31:22
this for the photograph that you cannot see you you have in that photograph
00:31:30
people dead on the beaches so after this Normandy landings the the Allies are
00:31:34
going to start liberating France and occupy part of Germany remember the
00:31:41
western part of Germany okay so they are going to advance northern from Italy and
00:31:46
And they are going to attack here in Normandy and they are going to liberate France and move to conquer to liberate Germany
00:31:51
While the Soviet Union is advances in is advanced advancing in Eastern Europe
00:31:58
In Eastern Europe, what is going to happen is just the Soviet Union is going to live in Poland Romania Bulgaria, okay
00:32:06
Poland is here Romania Bulgaria, etc is moving a forward until they are going to reach Berlin
00:32:13
when is going to end everything in the moment that Hitler committed suicide the
00:32:20
30th of April and in 8th May the Germans are going to surrender this is the end
00:32:26
of the war but is the end of the war in Europe not the end of the complete war
00:32:33
okay the war is not ended because there is the Pacific front still remains
00:32:39
okay so Hitler is going to commit suicide the 30th April or April the 30th
00:32:46
and in May the 8th Germany is going to surrender so the problem is the the the
00:32:52
war is not over we still have the the we still have the the front the Pacific
00:33:00
front so what we are going to see is how did the world the Second World War is
00:33:09
going to end in the Pacific front in the Pacific area remember May the 8th is
00:33:12
when the the war ended in Europe the war is going to end in September in the
00:33:20
Pacific so the idea is the Americans are going to reconquer most of the
00:33:27
territory where we were as I was explained before the idea is to conquer
00:33:31
island by island in order to bomb an end with to force Japan to surrender okay so
00:33:36
So they are going to be conquering, remember Guadalcanal, remember Midway, okay?
00:33:42
So the idea is to conquer and take back the Philippines, while they want islands in order to bomb Japan.
00:33:47
But the problem is Japan is going to continue this fanatical defense.
00:33:58
They are going to use the kamikazes.
00:34:03
A kamikaze is a soldier that is going to take a plane and is going to crash the plane into
00:34:04
an enemy ship, an enemy boat.
00:34:11
So the idea is they are going to commit suicide in order to try to end with the enemy's fleet.
00:34:15
These are some of these kamikazes, ok?
00:34:23
As you can see they are holding the katanas, the Japanese swords, and they are going to
00:34:26
take their planes and they are going to crash the planes into the different ships, the different
00:34:35
boats in order to try to kill as much Americans as they can.
00:34:40
It means only one soldier killing a lot of Americans, that's the idea.
00:34:47
As the war was ended in Europe and the USA was losing a lot of lives, a lot of soldiers
00:34:54
in the Pacific, the new president, Truman, that is the successor of Franklin Delano Roosevelt,
00:35:02
you may remember Franklin Delano Roosevelt from the New Deal, the New Deal policy in
00:35:10
order to end with the crisis of 1929, so Truman is going to decide to use the atomic bombs.
00:35:16
In order to shorten the war, they are going to drop to throw these bombs in August 1945
00:35:24
two atomic bombs in these two ports, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Hiroshima and Nagasaki is going
00:35:36
to be a commercial port, a really important port related to trade, so the idea is they
00:35:44
are going to bomb these two cities in order to force japan to surrender because japan wanted to
00:35:51
resist island by island so the thing is the americans are going to say the president of the
00:35:59
u.s henry truman is going to say okay we need to shorten this war we need to shorten the war in
00:36:04
order to avoid fighting or lose to lose more american lives so the idea is president truman
00:36:10
is going to drop these bombs, these two atomic bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and finally
00:36:19
of course after this the Japanese are going to surrender, why the Japanese are going to
00:36:28
surrender after these two atomic bombs?
00:36:33
Because of this reason, these are some images, this is the destruction of the cities, there
00:36:36
is no houses everything is destroyed the people is burned alive okay all the
00:36:44
people is just gone what you hear is a stairs what you have here is the shape
00:36:53
of the people that they were just they integrated in that moment it means they
00:36:58
are going to make them disappear there is no remains apart from the shadow of
00:37:06
of the person. ¿Qué quiere decir?
00:37:13
Esta es la silueta
00:37:15
de la escalera y de la persona que estaba en la casa,
00:37:17
al lado de la casa. Cae la bomba, la bomba
00:37:19
lo fulmina, y lo que queda
00:37:21
es la impresión
00:37:23
en la casa de la persona que ahí había.
00:37:24
More than 150
00:37:31
people died in minutes.
00:37:32
In minutes.
00:37:35
¿Ok? So the US
00:37:38
lost 200,000
00:37:40
people, it means
00:37:43
50,000
00:37:44
more during the whole war during three years but in minutes the japanese are going to lose
00:37:46
almost the same number of people 150 000 people of course on september the second japan is going
00:37:54
to surrender and the second world war ended and that's it the second world war ended in this
00:38:02
moment the next point is the characteristics of the war and we will see that in the next video
