Did America Carry WW1? 

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="160">2:40</a> "ww1 is boring it was just infantry".......deployable machine guns, full auto small arms, fighters, bombers, zeppelins, flamethrowers, deadly biological warfare, submarines, battleships, landships(tanks), body armor. Quite possibly the most interesting war humanity has ever been through considering the technological jump.

So true. The Founding Fathers also spoke out very harshly against a 2 party system knowing how easily corruptable it would be, yet after a few hundred years... They wanted no parties or a multi party system.

The Lusitania attack wasn't a false flag, but the vessel was, in fact, carrying 173 tons of "butter" on its cargo manifest. The manifest was falsified. This was actually war materiel, mostly in the form of ammunition, and slated for delivery to a British arsenal. The remains have been found in the wreckage, despite attempts at covering it up. The ship was a legitimate military target given the circumstances, and I say that as an American.

How does Tommy exist? A Pro Internet Boomer? The Internet ruined Boomers man.

Tommy does know cannons and fucking grenade launchers technically existed in 1700s lol

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="280">4:40</a> Germany did look good on those days, bc that was Germany, not some Nazi shit. Germany WAS that.

My uncle who recently passed was a part of big red 1’s transportation team during the Vietnam war . He never saw combat because he got crushed by a deuce and a half while someone was backing it up. Survived after multiple surgeries and learned to walk again only lost his left leg below the knee . His pastor back home in rural NC that spoke at his celebration of life was also assigned to his unit and they knew eachother before and after the war .

"Modern Paradox didn't cover WW1 in their games" there is no Paradox's Cold War game either (apart from Battle Goat Studios' Supreme Ruler), East vs West was cancelled after when alpha version was built.

do not equate ww2 and this russian intervention today

With all due respect a germain shouldn’t speak up about gun laws Cause you guys are kind the best exemple on why it need it

paradox should combine all of their games into one mega timeline game without mods

To answer the videos rhetorical question: Militarily, no the US did not carry the entente to victory. In terms of Economics and Logistics, most definitely the US carried everyone.

The Imperial flag is by far the best flag germany has ever had, It just looks good

1912 to 1950 would be a grear timespan for HOIV

"I have an issue that Americans set in stone shit said in the 1700s" If it works, it works. The US has had no major governmental change and only one civil war in the last 250 years. In the same amount of time, France has overthrown its government almost 10 times, Germany was formed and overthrew or restructured itself 5 times, Russia 5+ times (I forgot how many coupes happened in the USSR), China 5 times (possibly more I forget how many imperial dynasties they changed), and the list goes on. That "outdated" shit made the US the most stable nation in human history. We only started to have stability issues when we stopped following it.

Tommy my Great Grandfather was in the "Big Red One" in WW2 he fought in Europe in France and Germany.

I want a Hearts of Iron setting in March 12, 1947 - December 26, 1991 the entire cold war

As far as I know, Wilson was not responsible for putting forth some of the taxing demands levied on Germany with the Treaty of Versailles. It were the French and the UK who wanted to punish Germany for their war losses. And Wilson even tried to cool down some of these demands, well aware that a humiliated Germany might turn against Europe again. It is also reflected in his idea of a democratised Europe. And if you would have been an American during that time, it wouldn't be striking to think of Europe as a warmongering, unstable continent, which needs to embrace modern political institutions.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="990">16:30</a> "Wars are bad except for the ones the media tells me are good"

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="105">1:45</a> what does this even mean Tommy? The fundamental nature of government and these rights has not changed, which is why they’re still applicable to today.

My great great grandfather was a medic during ww1 and he was not grossed out

In my POV the Vietnam war WAS conceptually right, it was a good call. If it had gone well NOONE would be calling it a bad/injustified war, but that's how things work, after so many young men dies in the jungles no wonder people started to think that it was pointless.

Shall not be infringed

Tommy one of my favorite series on WWI is on this playlist. Took forever to track down the physical copy of this. It has its bias's and issues but mostly does a really good job covering the war in 10 parts, each section hyper specific to a front or country. ru-vid.com/group/PLAL84qjNOq_bniVYjC6I9lHHYepbG-uLM

Also fun fact: the second amendment isn’t about having guns for self defense. The second amendment exists to give citizen the right to fight back against a tyrannical government and be prepared to do so at a moment’s notice. In the end, it doesn’t matter what the founding fathers said or what technology they had.

For some reason, I'm interested to see Tommy react to the mandela catalogue and stuff like that if he didn't already

1. Yes there needs to be a hoi4 that starts in ww1 and ends in ww2 or continues. I've had mods that do this but not perfectly. 2. I remember reading the Medal of Honor Wiki. It's like 35% of the medals are dudes who jumped on grenades.

i highly recommend the netflix version of all quiet on the western front

Honestly I feel like people in general give Versailles too much shit. Hitler would’ve used the German economic problems and the loss of land to gain support(probably)

People in the chat saying that the Versailles treaty wasn’t unnecessarily harsh towards the Germans. I’ve always wondered how stupidity like that has survived evolution.

You would have liked my great great grandmother Tommy. She was born in Eastern prussia in 1896, she was married in 1914 to have her husband conscripted 3 months in. She however was a trench medic, she served 4 years on the western front in the somme, verdun, over the War she would loose her parents, 3 sisters, 2 brothers, husband's mother 2 brother in laws. After the war she would be polish but her husband still worked in Germany. However in 1938 the SS took her and her husband as political prisoners. She would not see her husband agian till 1948, however she tried to kill hitler herself 8 times but killing 12 higher ss officers in the war, she would loose her youngest son at stalingrade, oldest On D-Day, middle child to the SS in the war, she would move to the united states and live her life till her death in her sleep in 2003 at 112.

I’m absolutely intrigued by WW1 because I believe it is hands down the worst living conditions humanity has ever subjected itself to. If you haven’t listened to Dan Carlin’s Blueprint for Armageddon, I highly recommend it. Very detailed and thorough while remaining entertaining and engaging.

I think a HOI game that takes place from November 12th, 1918 to December 31st, 1935 would be interesting.

Tommy enjoy your secret labs chair. Mine has been great for my back.

these videos are the only reason I passed my 10th grade history class are teacher didn't teach us anything and only watched football clips on the classroom TV if I didn't go off and learn about south america and Asia I would have failed the exam as all the questions were over things we didn't learn about as we were reading about ww2 for half the school year

Wonder if he can still remember the duration of the war

Victoria 3 covers ww1, and it will hopefully get better

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="109">1:49</a> 'Bazooka' and 'Assault rifle'. Tommy is proof that ignorant people should not be allowed to talk about a topic.

Nice vid

The second amendment was for citizens to defend against government corruption, not hunting. They also had rapid fire weapons and early Gatling guns which people who say they made the amendment without rapid firing guns in mind which anti gun people choose to ignore

There wont be ww1 hoi becuz victoria and such ww1 games exist Paradox make sure to develop two world wars separately

Tommy - "I have this issue with Americans that they look at stuff that was set in 1770 or some sh!t" Me, an American - *chuckles in Reinheitsgebot while sipping a well aged Oktoberfestbier* "Funny, I can think of some others that do the same" 😉😋

Oi tommy it’s my god damn American right to own a bazooka!

A German arguing that we should get involved in German affairs is always funny to me, what have they ever done for us?

Tommy should debate/talk to a casual right leaning gun owner

I agree that we hold things said hundreds of years ago too close to home, and I feel the founding fathers would actually agree. There's a big reason why the constitution is ammendable, they didn't feel like they should be able to dictate what future generations need to follow. I think there's a lot of wisdom in that.

Austria got the Go from Germany without germany ww1 would have never started Austria would have just had to accept it

I’m glad we don’t have to care about European opinions on weapons.

Not really if you compare it to ww2 usa who economically was supporting every single ally and ussr while out maneuvering the axis pretty much everywhere

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="148">2:28</a> dommy, victoria 3 exist and it's covering world war I

This made me read the 14 points, none of it concerned germany except alsace-lorraine

Victoria 3 will feature WW1 it seems. The game ends in 1936.

what this is just getting uploaded here? damn markoni you slacking or something ?

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="738">12:18</a> random Tommy ADHD moment.

i would like to see hoi5 be a cold war game or a ww1 game and i would like to see hoi4 and hoi5 have scenarios for example hoi4 should have starts in 1944 1945 1941 and a ww1 game should have 1914 1910 1918

I agree that WW2 happens no matter what as a result of the end of WW1.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="101">1:41</a> Typical Tommy bad take, but you can't really fix what has been broken to this degree.

Didn't Tommy like Vicky3 though? :P

Did a bear shit in the woods?

Lmao future of education

yes ofc they did now if you'll excuse me im gonna get back to my chesseburgers and moonlandings

no

ww1 from 1914 to 1918

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="617">10:17</a> not really an accurate depiction of why Germany re-introduced unrestricted submarine warfare. They did not implement it again in 1917 to prevent the US from joining the war by threatening and killing its citizen, no idea where they heard that but that is not true and makes no sense. Most german generals and admirals actually expected the US to intervene in the war because of this. However the germans estimated that they would be able to suffocate the british into a peace deal by the fall of 1917 before the US could land troops in France. Though the US did not join the war as expected by the Germans straight away, the submarine warfare did not have the expected effect on the british morale eigther. Also the opinion of Germany towards the US had become increasingly hostile towards 1917, and alot of germans already saw the US as an active partner of the allied because of their massive economic support and coorporation with them. Not to mention the domestic pressure for escalating submarine warfare due to the blockade and food shortage Germany was suffering under.

Tommy there is no such thing as an "Assault Rifle." The AR-15 which is commonly thought to stand for assault rifle, actually stands for the company that made the AR-15 ArmaLite an American firearms manufacturer. The platform is not deadlier than others due to the caliber either. The AR-15 is commonly loaded in 5.56 or .223 virtually the exact same round. If you did any research into American statistics then you would know that majority of firearm related killings are from handgun platforms, and the vast majority of the killings are gang related. If you were to take out the gang related killings we would be pare with Belgium, this was from a FBI UCR study can't remember the year. America has a strong check and balance system. Where each branch does not hold all power, granted they are largely corrupt due to lobbying and high funders. A check and balance like no other in this country is the fact that the government faces an armed population, an armed militia if you wish. This is not a guarantee, but a deterrent to a tyrannical government. Another issue many people bring up is that the forefathers did not imagine high capacity firearms; however, the founding fathers did have knowledge of similar power. - Girardoni Air Rifle, 1780-1815, was a firearm that was gravity fed and had the capacity to hold 20 balls in a hopper. - Puckle Gun, 1718, had a revolving cylinder that could shoot 63 shots in seven minutes (nine shots/min). -Kalthoff Repeater, 1630, between 5 to 30 rounds depending on the style of magazine. -Harominca Gun, 1742, a pistol or rifle style firearm that had a bar with x amount of chambers, IIRC 10 was the average. -Cookson Repeater, 1750, a breach-loading lever action repeater, that had a rotating drum. -Fafting Rifle, 1774, could fire 18 to 20 shots a minute, the inventor was also working on a version capable of firing 30 per minute -1789 French Rifle, a rifle that held 5 to 6 shots able to shoot 15 to 18 shots in a minute. Compare this to the Kentucky Rifle, the firearm that most would associate the founding fathers with, which was capable of firing 2 shots per minute. Then you factor that the founding fathers saw fit to the private ownership of artillery of the time as well as vessels.

americans should have bazookas

You just had history teached the wrong way then, there is so much more context to the class history itself then just bare facts.

You know how sad it is that the world could have been better if only ww1 never happen or atleast end in different way, one of the saddest things in ww1 is how it started, if the archduke live longer then Austria Hungary wouldn't brought so many country with it But if that happen the colonialism in Africa and Asia could be carry over into the modern era, sure they would probably gain their indepedence but it would end like Haiti who have their economy destroy by having to pay the French for independece or Vietnam style as European nation would help each other for fearing there would be uprising for independece in their colony, a domino effect

Hitler was not in WW1 but in 2

No.

no they dindt

zyzz

they helped but they aint carry

Why does Tommy insist that people fight in wars that don't concern us?

Im an american and I LUUV WAAARRR!!!

Key thing was that USA wanted to protect their BET in form of loans given to GB. And France. Its just politic man, no need for emotion.

You say Hitler was the worst thing to ever happen to Germany and yet you don't know what year WW1 started. It's almost like you have no idea what you are talking about... Hitler was a product of WW1 and WW2 was an extension of that conflict. He is not free from blame, of course, but the Allied and Communist leaders seem to have escaped any type of scrutiny whatsoever from 90% of people. It baffles my mind.

This honestly makes me more angry at the British than I already do United States should’ve supported the German empire The world would’ve been a better place

The Great War mod for hoi4 is kinda scripted but it starts in 1912 and ends in the 50s

Man, it just pains to realize that if it wasn't for US' usual meddling the era after the Victorian would've been the Teutonic/Wihlemic Era.

For me as an american the most important war for me to learn was the American Revolutionary War, A war that was Fought by Colonist for what they believed in and were willing to die for. there is a famous saying from before the war "No taxation without representation".

America wasn't in ww1

Typical French <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="67">1:07</a>

you would think but school is relly dum and dosent think vidios are true

40,000 Americans died in the Korean war. 51,000,000 South Koreans are free today because of it.

Dont care tommy, never giving up my right to own a gun.

they did yeah

Canada had more game impact during WW1 than America, and I refuse to hear otherwise. (btw this video is weirdly kind to Woodrow Wilson, one of if not the most damaging and terrible presidents in history)

We carried both wars, in WW2 if we hadn’t come the Europeans would’ve been nazified.

L take on the 2nd amendment

As an American who’s family comes from Prussia in 1860 I want to see Germany be restored to its former glory (no I don’t mean 1940)

Didn't carry, but by God did we clutch. I'm not downplaying the role other allied countries played, but you can't deny how much influence the U.S. had when they entered the war. Much more than people care to admit.

The commonwealth & uk carried ww1 lmao

Americans showed up when the British Expeditionary Force had done the hard work and took the credit. Typically Americans

The US army didn't carry the war, american oil companies did. Without american oil, Britain and France wouldn't have been able to fuel their navies and logistics.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="120">2:00</a> Tommy jelly of our 2nd amendment rights 😏😏😏

so this is a high quality animated video about history being watch by some brainlet who knows nothing and he gets ad revenue from this? i better hope not

Dude Tommy talking about politics is so cringe. One of the major reasons i stopped watching Tommy was because hes extremely left wing and the crazy kind. Like any time he talks about the second amendment i want to die.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="110">1:50</a> an armed population is a population the government won't mess with
