"Blighty" - a phrase adopted by English soldiers in India, from the Urdu word "bilayati" meaning "foreign" and referring to Britain

@chrismackett9044 8 месяцев назад

Charlie Chaplin was British, although he moved to the USA just before the First World War, and made his films there.

@stewedfishproductions7959 8 месяцев назад

But later in life, he left the US with his family (via New York), to return to England on the RMS Queen Elizabeth to attend the premier of his film 'Limelight', in London. The next day the US Attorney General revoked Chaplin's re-entry permit because of his political views. This news made Chaplin decide to cut all ties with the country. His film received great reviews throughout Europe, but in America 'Limelight' was subjected to a wide-scale boycott. He never returned to America and moved to Switzerland. He knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 1975 and became Sir Charles Spencer Chaplin KBE.

"Tarzan of the Apes" was published in 1912 and became quite popular right away, so Blackadder could indeed have known about him in World War I, if he was a fan of American pulp-fiction stories, but that seems unlikely.

@paulhanson5164 8 месяцев назад

Tarzan was originally a book written in 1912, the first Tarzan film was a silent movie made in 1918, the most famous Tarzan was former Olympic Swimmer Johnny Weissmuller, he made about a dozen Tarzan films, the first one was made in 1932. He's the one every kid born for 50 years after remembers, the films were regularly re-run on tv throughout by childhood in the 60s and 70s.

The simple answer to why the Central Powers still lost after the Russians withdrew from the war was 2 fold, 1, The British blockade of Central Powers had starved them of everything needed for a country at war. The Central Powers' rations for food, clothing, and ammunition even at the front were abysmal and the troops knew it. Until the Spring Offensive in 1918 most German troops thought that the Western powers were as badly (or close to as badly) supplied, but in the offensive, they realised how well the Allies had it in comparison and morale collapsed. 2, With the US entry into the war the Central Powers' last hope, killing enough men that your enemy would be unable to fight, would be impossible. In truth, the US contribution to the fighting in WWI was not that important (don't get me wrong it was useful and helped blunt the German attack). But what the US entry into the war really made clear to the Germans was that any hope of winning an attritional war (if they could somehow get enough supplies) with around 100,000,000 more people now against them was gone.

I think W.G Grace was a cricketer and the character Tarzan comes from the books by Edgar Rice Burrows.

@stewedfishproductions7959 8 месяцев назад

Edgar Rice BURROUGHS. He followed 'Tarzan' with 'Tarzan of the Apes' and then 25 more 'Tarzan' story books; all about the son of an English nobleman abandoned in the African jungle during infancy and brought up by apes. The books became a world wide success and almost overnight the 'Tarzan' stories were translated into more than 56 languages and were turned into popular comic-strips, motion-pictures, television series and many radio versions...

Blighty, a nickname for Britain, or more specifically England, originated during the Victorian rule of India. The word comes from the Urdu word vilayati which means foreign, British, English or European. A mishearing changed the v to a b, and bilayati became Blighty (Oxford English Dictionary).

Hi Connor ....an Ostler is someone who works with/looks after and is skilled in the husbandry of horses (e.g. a stableman) .... During the First World War, well over a million horses and mules were used for a very wide variety of jobs. As you can imagine, the losses and injuries they suffered were as appalling and catastrophic as those inflicted on the troops. Vets treated an estimated 2.5 million equine injuries ..... so, the Ostler's role throughout the conflict was a very important one.

Two of which were made into films: 'John Carter' (2012) and 'Princess of Mars' (2009) - Plus the 2012 Disney film adaptation of the series, 'John Carter'.

The first Tarzan stories were written in 1912 by Edgar Rice Buroughs and the first Tarzan film came out in 1918 , however a load more Tarzan films came out in the 1930s in a franchise that went on until the 1960s. Edgar Rice Burroughs was also friends with Robert E. Howard who wrote the 'Conan the Barbarian' stories and H.P Lovecraft the horror writer and creator of Cthulhu.

4:50 That is why the German high command conveyed Lenin and some other revolutionaries by special train, in a sealed luxury carriage, from Switzerland through Germany and put him on a ferry on his way via Sweden to St. Petersburg. Without the German General Staff, the Russian Revolution might have taken a bit longer and taken a different route. The Russian Revolution ultimately led to the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, in which the Germans, the Austrians and the Ottoman empire dictated very unfavourable peace terms to the Russian government. An act that did not help the German position at all a few months later at Versailles.

In short the Allies held the line and repulsed a German attack in 1917. That broke the back of the German army. The arrival of the US tipped the balance finally.

'Blighty' derives from the Urdu word Viletī, meaning 'foreign', which more specifically came to mean 'European', and 'British; English' during the time of the British Raj. The Bengali word is a loan of Indian Persian vilāyatī, from vilāyat meaning 'Iran' and later 'Europe' or 'Britain', ultimately from Arabic wilāyah‎ meaning 'state, province'. The term subsequently gained an ironic connotation in its closeness to the English word “blight” meaning epidemic. It’s an example of typical post imperial British self effacement.
