Eastory is history channel with a particular focus on Eastern European and military history.
Eastory sets itself apart from other history channels by providing an in-depth approach to vast and complex historical events without sacrificing production values, or resorting to oversimplified, historically inaccurate narratives. The most significant videos are the animated map series about WW2.
The channel also features videos about Estonian history from my other channel, which you can find here ru-vid.com/show-UC76Amg293P5-NOFH016z9Bw
The Soviet Advantage in Manpower and industry was not overwhelming, something that a lot of German Commanders after the war exaggerated to excuse their many failures. The Soviets had about twice Germany's manpower, but it more or less evened out when you considered their axis partners. By 1944 The Soviets were almost out of available manpower, despite having brought in women to serve in almost every capacity in the war. If the Germans had not made several catastrophic decisions at Kursk and later on with their collapse at in Operation Bagraton (in which the Wehrmacht was legitimately outfoxed by the Soviets and humiliated tactically and strategically) then the Soviets would likely have not been able to continue large scale offensive operations in the war for much longer. In fact Stalin planned to halt at the Polish border unless the Allies could put several million troops in Western Europe to aid him, since the Soviets just didn't have the strength left to invade Germany alone.
Only regret is we didn't settle Outer Manchuria and Transbaikal, then we could have a claim to it that Russia doesn't. Not to say that we'd ever claim any part of Siberia aside from Tuva, Transbaikal and Outer Manchuria of course.
Factors that went into Germany's defeat: - the Soviets were importing equipment from the Allies, especially trucks, massively improving their supply lines. - The Germans relied on speed and maneuver, which was hampered by the poor Soviet infrastucture. - There was so much territory the Germans had to take, that they simply couldn't do it fast enough. - The Soviet Union's strategy was to overwhelm the enemy with superior numbers. The Germans, on the other hand, might have a numerical disadvantage in a war (as they did against France), but used their speed and advanced armor to encircle and destroy enemy troops. Unfortunately for them, they could only take so much out of the Red Army before attrition wore them down, as the USSR was just a massive country. - Winter.
China was in a civil war(1927-1936) between the Nationalist and Communists while the Japanese attacked and started the second Sino-Japanese war, and when the Japanese attacked, the both factions(Nationalist and Communists) needed to combine forces to stop the Japanese invasion.
После видео про Эстонскую войну за независимость очень интересно было бы посмотреть другие виде про гражданскую войну в России, например советско-польская война или высадка Антанты на кольском полуострове.
I love how this guy takes our knowledge seriously becuase he is only history RU-vidr to actually show all the divisions and map a really realistic map.
At the battles of El Alamein you put only britch and Commonwealth troup but at bir Hakeim (werre you put the britch tank) it was only french troups defending this point bravely and put an end to the axis avance but cool video thx
I remember watching a video stating the French could’ve ended the war in 1940 or 1941 but they were hesitant because they didn’t want to waste a lot of lives like ww1.
Marshall Model fortified this City in 1942. thats the reason that only Taking Jarkov, the Donbass fell and with Karkhov+Donbas, all DNipro´s east German positions. fell. to the Battle of 1943. the Dnipro´s Battle´s series. a forgotten Battle like Bagration, because hollywood over-superSize-Stimates the Overlord Day.
so the moral of the Story is : when Russians take Jarkov, will be the End of any Ucranian State east to Dnipro´s River. if Jarkov Falls. Kiev Falls. and if Kiev Falls, Odessa Falls. and if Ucraine Falls, well , many things on NATO-European-Unión will Change badly
I feel that the mind blowing scale of this conflict is possibly the most magnetic conflict in history. It’s fascinating that maneuver warfare where 300 thousand troops get surrounded is considered a misfire. Where 20k people getting captured is just “a drop in the bucket). There’s nothing that compares to the eastern fronts sheer scale. This conflict holds the titles for: Largest tank battle in history (likely), The largest battle of aviation in history, the largest encirclement in history, the deadliest battle in history, and holds 5 of the 10 largest infantry battles in history.
Either Hitler should have never invaded the Soviet Union or he should have matched on Moscow instead of turning south to the Ukraine. Truth be told Hitler would have likely better been served and fondly remembered in Germany today had he either never invaded Poland or accepted the soviets offer to join the axis.
@@Mentol_ without the allies, they wouldn’t have beaten Germany. Although Russia was giving Germany troubles as they pushed them back from Moscow and even won the stalinburg battle. Soviets dealt the most damage to the Germans while the Germans were being attacked on all fronts. Once you’re attacked on all fronts, it’s pretty much over with. They also had to battle the British/American forces in Africa which might of also been a reason why some German troops withdrew from USSR.
Honestly I hate the u.s and their cockiness to drop 2 nukes wich killed many civilians when all japan did is attack a navy base the the west acted the victim
It was either two nuclear detonations (129,000-226,000 estimated fatalities), or over 1,000,000+ dead as a result of an invasion of mainland Japan. Which is the lesser of two evils?
@@economicallyunviablekitten Not to mention the number killed by the nukes was small when compared to the war at large. More people died during the conventional bombing campaigns carried out by the US prior to the nukes being dropped.
It was not a ''full scale invasion of Ukraine'' never ever. The russians force were not strong enough to even take Kiev. And it was not their goal either.
How NATO actually PROVOCKED Russia and caused the ongoing war in Ukraine with Russia in 5 ways: Thought it could be good tell the other side of the story. In Western media you only hear the propaganda lie so many people now believe. Not strange. If you hear/read the lie hundreds of times during a couple of years you start to believe it. Talking about the propaganda lie ever perhaps "that the ongoing Russian war/invasion in Ukraine was unprovocked" repeated over and over again.. Here is the a list of how the USA/The West/Nato provocked the ongoing war in Ukraine in 5 ways with the goal of making the Russian economy crash under pressure of sanctions and higher and higher war expenses with the hope that ordinary citizens of Russia would rise up and take down the present government of Russia lead by the president Vladimir Putin and replace it with a Western friendly Russian goverment which the West could control: 1. Nato expansion in Eastern Europe and more and more along the Russian border. Expansion even if Russia said many time to Nato that they see the expansion as a very serious threat to national security of Russia. So by the expansion new nato members felt more secure while Russia for every new member felt the national security of Russia was more and more threaten. In that light. Not so hard so see that if you increase countries feeling of security in this way it can go very wrong if the same expansion are making a superpower feel its national security more and more threaten by every new Nato member that this development one day can lead to conflicts and a war like the one ongoing in Ukraine.. With other words. One superpower, USA, leading a military alliance which take in more and more member close and along another superpower, Russia, borders. Not hard to understand that an expansion of one superpowers military close another superpower could and lead to conflicts and in this case the Ukraine war. Just think how USA would have reacted if a russian military alliance in alternative universe would have started talking about accepting Mexico and Canada as members..US would in this alternative universe for sure had invaded these countries as Russia invaded Ukraine for the same reason to stop an existential threat to national security to arise.. 2. US coup in Ukraine. USA plan and paid for the coup which removed the democratical elected and russian friendly Ukraine government not so many years before the ongoing war of today in Ukraine. And replaced that goverment with a Western/US friendly government. One of many US suppported coup around the world during the last 100 years to get a US friendly government in another country. The coup we are talking about is the orange revolution in 2004-2005. 3. Nato governments/In Europe and USA participated in peace negotiations in Minsk and Istanbul with Ukraine and West/Nato just fooling Russia to have time to send a lot of Arms to Ukraine och upgrade its military capability.Both the present president in France and the former leader, Angela Merkel, of Germany have admit they just fooled the Russians who thought the negotiations was real with Ukraine and the West. Talk about a big provokation. 4. Ukraines governments sending representatives to Donbas to try to stop etnic russians from using russian language and living according to russian culture. This treatment lead to an uprising in Donbas by ethnic russians towards the Ukraine government whoch became a civil war which was ongoing many years before the present big war between Russia and Ukraine today in Ukraine. That the west/nato/us with close ties to Ukraine government did say to their alies in Kiev to stop this treatment was for sure very provoking for Russia. If west had said no the Ukraine goverment would have stopped the bad treatment of ethnic russia as the west otherwise could have stopped the big arm shipments to Ukraine. But the west did nothing. 5. The war declaration towards Russia by Nato representatives for Ukraine. Here it comes. NATO started to talk on western media about the possibility of Nato membership for Ukraine knowing very well that Russia saw Ukraine Nato membership as an existential threat to the National security of Russia. One thing Russia said to Nato representatives many times that they would never accept to be created. Nato knew with others words that a war in Ukraine soon would follow if they started to talk about Nato membership of Ukraine.. And started to talk anyway knowing ver well what would happen. I guess Nato/US wanted the war and the sanction which were a chances for them to turn the Russian public against Putin with big economical problems in Russia as a result of the war as it in best case for Nato, as nato hoped for, it would have resulted in the fall of Putins goverment and a west friendly government taking over the power of Russia. But it did not happen. Horrible that the Ukraine people had to suffer and die and get their country destroyed for this global power play move by Nato/US against Russia.
The Germans outnumbered the Russians 2 to 1 at battle of Moscow Its only after Stalingrad that Russians began to outnumber the Germans. 9.5 million Germans were drafted into war,14mil Russians were drafted into the war. Germans caunted casualties vary differently than Russians. Germans didn't include the 1mil of their allies as casualties. (Italians and Romanians). Germany produced 35,000 armored vehicles of all types Russia produced 55,000 armored vehicles Bartow of Moscow the Germans lost 463.000 soldiers .the army group center buckeled but Hitlers fanaticism saved it.He did fire dozens of Generals to This all comes from most recent studies on ww2 done by the British. Germany was actually behind Russia in doctrinal development. Spanish civil war (seen as proxy ) was showing it. Stalin imprisonment of Russians officers severely damaged Russian military, the reason why he did it is because he claimed they are showing this Germans to much .indeed German officers..many spoke Russian fluently and often came for education at the Moscow Frunze academy.
russia struggle to achieve his goal ? really ? or west struggle to survive ? and now they speak about their fear to russia attack west ( at usually a lie ) they bet to a dead horse , and spend 60 billion + other 60 billion + west other 60 billion whit NO HOPE TO WIN . only to START A WW3 ? WHY ????
In the end, the west may have spent a sh*t ton of money on this war, but the real losers are both Russia & Ukraine, think about losing a combined 500k+ soldiers on both sides, 500 thousand of the youngest and fittest of the countries population which has been shrinking for decades. No one wins here war is bad.
Are you sure it's "the most important city" and not a useless backwater? Cos I saw people designate this or that city is "the most important", theb 6 months or so later they say it's a " useless heap of rubble". May be I shall look forward for people to claim that on Kharkiv?
