What I love about this video is how all the partisans are shown. Everyone always acts like people in the occupied territories were starving and not offering any more resistance after their countries had fallen. But that is not the case, partisan movements controlled a lot of areas in Europe and this video shows that.
The Yugoslav resistance were the only resistance to fully liberate themselves. At the tail end of the war the resistance turned into a fully fledged professional army waging conventional war. Truly incredible how far resistance against oppression can go if people are united against it.
@@Astro_Guy_1 you can also say that for Albanian resistance but they did not had such difficult task as Yugoslav partisans. Beside fighting Nazis partisans foth against quisling forces that also counted hundred of thousands of soldiers.
@@Astro_Guy_1 Nations throughout history have been formed or strengthened out of insurgency. US was one of the successful ones to form out of it and Yugo was strengthened by it, at least their people were.
Most neutral countries joined in 1945 because you needed to have declared war on the axis powers to be admitted into the UN which was seen as the hope for peace and diplomacy in the postwar world especially in the colonized countries.
note how the most important parts of war (most of eastern front in central russia) are not visible in this map while empty atlantic ocean is visible. indication of revisionist bias to hype up the minimal western contribution to war
Finally someone showed the formation of Yugoslavia in 1918 correctly (meaning Serb unification first, that is Serbia annexing Serb-Inhabited territories of Austrua-Hungary, then Yugoslav unification second). Also someone actually showing rught-wing Yugoslav guerilla resistance, which was joint with the Communists in 1941(when it mattered the most) and continued to resist until 1945, saving many American pilots in the process and even liberating a few towns with the red army.
I really liked how you showed Yugoslavia post-liberation, the USSR, and Finland as separate sides of the conflict rather than merging them into the allies. That's something that irks me whenever I see mappings of WWII

@@dante6055 yes they fought under a anti communism pact with the germans/nazi's (shared battle theater)but no not allied (officialy) with the axis. as depicted here Finland remains sovereignty and had even had an armistice (cease fire)at one point i think in its right under the geneve treaties, don't quote me on that last one.

The animation by itself that can be taught as a lesson in classes of history. Shows important locations and the invasion times of them while giving the instant informations about the events gone through at war at the date it's in. This' probably the best animation have ever gone as far as it could! Really appreciate to your kind job you've made to us sir, hope to see more efficient stunning works in these tough days.
if Romania didn't betray the axis the war would have lasted tow more years also if the axis had radar and the proximity fuse as well as lasers and intelligence they could have won.
@@jarrodyuki7081 Lmao, no thats not how you win a damn war you win the war if you are smart to win or have the equipment to do so, germany was literally running out of resources during ww2 that is why they were losing. They also lost due to the arrogance of hitler and how cocky he was thinking he was a "greatest general who conquered europe" yet he could still lose to napoleon if hitler was alive during napoleonic era even if romania didnt switch sides they couldve instead surrendered knowing that they lost the war and have alot of instability in the country and also lack of equipment, resources.
This video is amazing! Only problem I had was that it was kinda hard to see what was going on in the Eastern Front. I know that you have a separate video for the eastern front, but maybe zooming out a bit more so we can see the action in the east in this video would be a good idea. Overall, amazing work as usual!
@@Scenariania yeah I know that. It’s a shame though because this could’ve been a ww2 everyday europe video like EmperorTigerstar’s but with much higher quality, though I understand his intentions for focusing on the western front.
@@Dardelsploon And I’ve got to admit that. He even added different types of resistance AND every half-day? Certainly excelled, he really did great on that video
Your Pacific WWII map was probably one of the best maps on RU-vid, with amazing music and detailed charts. This new European WWII map is absolutely awesome.
So, you improved since your Eastern Front video and included the Polish Resistance Movement, which reached 500.000 people at its peak in mid 1944, during the Operation Tempest and the Warsaw Uprising. Thanks for that!
This is simply incredible, the amount of dedication you had to make this. In particular, the light colours on the map look visually appealing to the eye and with the border glow softening the borders, well done! Hopefully, the youtube algorithm recommends this as much as your video on the Eastern front. Seeing it's of the same genre as other WW2 videos AND probably will have more watch time, I don't doubt this video will go viral. Sublime!
You could make WWI, too! And WWII on The whole map of Europe. Seeing how you made the ending stages of WWI and all your foregoing videos, I think you would be the winner among the other mappers.
Incredible First the eastern front one which i watched multiple times because i loved it now one of the western front you're truly a Legend! спасибо for this quality content!
This is a masterpiece. I had to pause the video multiple times after saying "what the fuck what that?!", and went on to learn about entire aspects of the war I'd never even heard of. And other aspects I had, but had never been able to put into context, and can now finally begin to appreciate.
Just completed watching the ww2 mapping video... Wow... How you don't have hundreds of thousands of subs is beyond me. Definitely worth the wait and I have no regrets subscribing to you. I wonder what's next. Maybe the East African front WW2? Just a suggestion. Keep up the good work and I will continue to watch your mapping videos. 🙂
Hats off to a tremendous amount of work. Most people do not realize what it takes to do this. The research, edit, animation, etcetera. Bravo, my friend!👏👏👏
The video is just perfect! Yes, there are small mistakes about the Yugoslav partisans (especially the Chetniks) and there is no Legality movement in Albania, but for the most part it is just fine, this is a huge step for videomapping! Ставлю любо такому прекрасному видео!
@@ArhivatorSrbija In fact, they are well shown, but there are just a few Chetniks in Eastern Bosnia, and there were many of them, in 1941-July 1942 they are not shown at all (Jezdimir Dangić and Boško Todorović) And one more thing. And he marked the liberation of Krushevac in green, since it was mainly liberated by Soviet troops
From 1946 the symbol from the House of Savoy was taken off from the flag of Italy because Italy became a republic in June of 1946. But nice job though. One other thing you should have taken out is thegreen spots in southwestern France on the 1949 maps of Europe. On the other hand, East Germany shared the flag with West Germany so East Germany did not added its socialist coat of arms until 1959. Great job! I like the simulation
I live in Poland and before I watched this video I hadn't known partisans in Poland had many territories not under German control (I knew only Warsaw uprising).
11:54 Yugoslavia: Greece? Greece: Yes? Yugoslavia: We are the only countries that liberated themself... Do you know what that means? Greece: PARTY TIME Yugoslavia: Yayyyy Greece: Yay- 12:16 British Empire: Hello there
It's probably the best animation of this kind ever made, but Im still upset that there are "left/right wing" instead of communists/nationalists. It would be much more exact, cuz left/right is in fact a fictional partition. Anyway thumb up 👍
@@camponotusinflatus9920 no, that's just not true, there's a difference between internationalist communists and national communists. National Bolsheviks come to mind who are socialists but also fierce nationalists and socially right wing. The Yugoslav partisans under Tito may have been internationalists, but their goal was nationalist, the liberation of Yugoslavia and formation of an independent state. The same is true with Vietnam where Ho Chi Minh is quoted in saying "Independence first, communism Second".
Beautiful animation plus events, but just about everyone puts it right on the Balkans. You are ahead of the present time for mapping. I have no words of all praise! And epic music!
In every video about Balkans, you can see comments like, "Here before the nationalists", "war actually in comments" and other derogatory comments. This video proves that Balkan people are not nationalists nor uncivilized pricks. There are just people, who love freedom and fight for it. Balkan people were the most effective resistance in WW2, compared to the other states of Europe. I know this comment will annoy and insult many people, but that's the true.
I don't it was the most effective and the most complete. For me , it was Free France , or French french forces (FFF), they had huge network to inform allies , they had an army that fought everywhere, they had newspapers just for them, they had diplomatic ties with almost all of the allies, even USSR . Speaking of USSR , FFF helped them in the eastern front, they were a threat in the Western front since they cutted supplies with sabotages, they liberated Paris themselves and made the landing far easier, they made sure to be part of the big winner of the war and they were organized (left and right wing worked toghether in Free French Resistance). But i'm not gonna underestimate Balkan resistance , they liberated themselves and fought Germany with only a bit of supplies, and won .
@@mrronron7328 "they liberated Paris themselves" Let's not get carried away here. The Americans chose to hold their army back and put the French army in front to liberate Paris, because of the psychological effect it would have for the French people. This was an American choice, not something the French resistance simply did on its own.
@@Alsayid 1st american decided to go around Paris, it was Free France's choice to liberate it. However, when Free French Forces came, French Resistance in Paris , knowing the landing was happening, decided to fight the german themselves, and they won .

@@Leantenant Нет, это не причина. Черчилль предал четников в 1943 и поддержал Тито и коммунистов, стало понятно почему в 1948, когда Тито предал Сталина.
This is the first video where the civil war in Italy is well represented... wonderful. Btw the Italian civil war is very poorly documented in my country: we tried and portray it as a war of liberation for decades, but it was much more complicated. I’m a left wing youth, and I have to say we didn’t come to terms with our past... some regions like Tuscany tore themselves to pieces, others faced a somewhat simpler fate, not seeing much infighting: that’s the worst part of that war, our country being shattered, Italians fighting against Italians... the true apocalypse came upon us after September 8th 1943🇮🇹
@@emirturkmen4524 no points of wars.germany doesnt waste to much money on milatary.I wish all countires in the world would do the same and instead put their moneys intoSpace Exploaration just as americans fpdid between 60s and 70s
Although Britain and France declared war on Germany in September 1939, no military operations were conducted there until May 1940... A strange war on the Western Front.
Респект и уважение автору за тяжёлую и долгую работу. Уверен, много ночей было потрачено на создание этого шедеврального ролика. Это то видео, которое обязательно нужно лайкнуть.
