Caligula a fost pâine și cuțit pentru romani! Pâine pentru săraci, cuțit pentru bogați! Până la urmă acest împărat drept și crud a sfârșit prin a fi ucis de cuțitele senatorilor și pretorienilor corupți!
Because King was in a more political and administrative role, a lot of people who just read about the military action don't understand the role. But make no mistakes about it. George Marshall and Ernest King had the most important military roles in WW2. I'm fond of Eisenhower and Nimitz but they were higher profile and less critical to the cause.
Also Trajan is the real 666. In ancient rome people of Power were given numbers. So as he is the 666 and an opponent of the up rising christian church, it became they symbol for "shei tan", which translates to "enemy of the church". Satan was born
George Washington wasn’t a great general. He’s only remembered because the French won that war for the Americans not Washington. As for Patton, he wasn’t that great either, simply a Prima Donna who had the media on his side.
As great a leader as George Washington was, I'm not sure I could rank him in the top 10 generals of all time. He got out flanked a lot by the Brits. Now Grant, maybe. Agree that the best 5 are Caeser, Hannibal, Genghis Khan, Alexander, and Napoleon.
The British ran circles around Washington the majority of the Revolution. If it weren't for the French Washington would likely only be a foot note in British history.
1:42 Halsey’s leadership at Leyte Gulf is debatable. His leadership in late 1942 and 1943 in the Solomons, however, was outstanding. Also, nice job using a photo of Nimitz while introducing Spruance. And speaking of photos, this video is full of historical photos (well done) so then why are we treated to ridiculous AI-generated images of warships when there are thousands of publicly available REAL photos of warships that can be found with a simple google search?
With all due respect, Halsey’s aggressiveness at Leyte Gulf nearly led to disaster. If not for the valiant efforts of sailor’s and airmen off Samar, the landing force might have been destroyed. Halsey’s aggressive nature was known to the Japanese and exploited at Leyte Gulf.
Overall I have to agree with these choices. But I often wonder about the behind the scenes officers that saw the need for subs and carriers. The one that worked to prove there need and play the game in Congress to gain the fnding. Sure King played part of that roll but many others did too. Our fighting admirals still needed the right tools.
Halsey is the one I wouldn't have put on this list. He nearly lost the battle of Leyte Gulf by his failure to deploy his fast battleships to protect the 7th fleet escort carriers as he chased a decoy force. He lost three ships in Typhon Cobra because he just wasn't much of a sailor. For all of his press, he just wasn't that good an Admiral. Six months later he ran his fleet into a second typhon.
Spruance never being promoted to 5 star rank is one of the great injustices with regards to promotion. The man won the battles of Midway and the Philippines Sea, directed Operation Hailstone and blunted the Japanese Operation Ten-Go. Alas he never had the political backing Halsey had. Damn you Carl Vinson.
Halsey at Leyte Gulf fell for Japanese feint that almost led to disaster and should have led to his removal from command. While he was an effective commander early in the war, nothing in his overall record would come close to him being a top admiral.
Disagree with King. He was slow to recognize the u boat threat, slow to recognize the deficiencies in Navy procurement especially with torpedoes, slow in bringing air power into the Atlantic. Churchill hated him suggested that King's intransigence lengthened the war 6 mos to a year.
Hi,,,,,i saw your all videos, you have beautiful content but not enough views and subscribers, are you need promotion your video for monetize??? I provide all you tube services
The byzantines standing between the Holy Roman Empire and the Ottomans is what let them exist till the 1800’s until napoleon came around. In the meantime they had to run battles with people like the Hussites. Europe and the Middle East had so many overlapping wars it’s crazy.
Qutaiba conquered overall central asia😅😅but turk tribe modern day in khazakhistan revolt against Muslim empire after the battle of aksu and become independence but Abbasid again captured khazakhistan 😂😂😂😂😂😂
These naval battles should be on the list Battle of Actium Battle of Lepanto Spanish Armada Battle of Chesapeake ww1 Battle of the Atlantic ww2 Battle of the Atlantic
Patton wasn't in command of the 3rd Army on the eve of D-Day. He was in command of a ghost army across the channel north of Normandy, holding the Nazi's away from the beaches.
I hate to be overly critical, but whoever but this together really has only a cursory knowledge of American military history. I hope those drawn to the site understand the information it presents is highly questionable and very arguable. If you’re interested in the subject matter do actual research and not rely on RU-vid.
@@QuickHistoryHits865 sad & George Patton either. And for all of you who state "Lee was not a US General, Lee was offered Command by Lincoln first. He was a US General Officer before the Succesion and followed his heart.
@@deadpilgrim3888 Well.. certainly presented as facts, and maybe I am too critical in how I hear this presentation, if it's just meant to peak interest, but admitting no uncertainty when talking about ancient historical figures is a major red flag generally for me, and especially when so clearly praising them, when in 'reality': "So thorny is the difficulty of distinguishing the historical Socrates from the Socrateses of the authors of the texts in which he appears and, moreover, from the Socrateses of scores of later interpreters, that the whole contested issue is generally referred to as the Socratic problem. Each age, each intellectual turn, produces a Socrates of its own." -SAP entry on Socrates
@@deadpilgrim3888aand the spelling error in 'intriguing' at the end (in the typewriter). Might seem petty, but again to me it indicates a lack of thoroughness
