The world wars show how far mankind has evolved into a violence it can't direct away from itself unless it should be attacked from the stars. The world as it is mirrors us exactly. We can dream and fantasize, but reality will always call us back. Perhaps we can find some comfort in the assumption that a peaceful world would be a world without life. This is what an evolutionary victory looks like.

These documentaries are excellent. I know a good amount of history and I always end up learning more through these. This narrative is also really damn good. No over emotional pronunciation and calmness.

Best documentary, I've seen on one of the most pivotal relationships in history.

In two World Wars, 162K Indian soldiers died fighting for the British, around 87K in WW2. By some records, a million plus Indian soldiers fought in WW2. Indian nationalist Subhas Chandra Bose had taken exile in Germany. In later stages of the war, he fought the British in Eastern India using Japanese help. This was for independence of India from the British and unrelated to other war goals of Japanese or Axis powers. His army called Indian National Army consisted soldiers from other South Asian countries as well. Eventually British were able to defeat them. But INA later inspired a Naval mutiny in Bombay in 1946 which accelerated the demise of British Empire in India. Before this in 1942, Congress (Indian party) leaders had started the Quit India Movement, they were promptly jailed by the British. However this was a nationwide movement which posed the biggest challenge to British in India since 1857. After this in 1945, first time Labor Party in Britain had promised full independence for India (which eventually happened in August 1947). During the Quit India Movement, British had kil led 15000 mostly non-violent protesters. During the naval mutiny, British had kil led 400.

Only thing this really missed was the counterbalance regarding events with Japan. Japan is not even mentioned until Pearl Harbor. An important aspect of Roosevelt's mindset and perhaps elusiveness.

I think this documentary clearly shows that both Roosevelt and Churchill were consummate politicians who represented the best interests of their own nations. It was in Churchill's best interest to drag the United States into the war. It was in Roosevelt's best interest to avoid sending America's youth into yet another European war. I would expect nothing less from either. Where Churchill did succeed was in getting Roosevelt to adopt the "Europe First" policy when it came to executing the war. Since it was Japan's attack the dragged America into the war, it would be quite reasonable to expect the US to focus on Japan first, tossing a few scraps towards Europe as they came available.

Everyone is missing the point, nobody has mentioned the Stockmarket crash in 1929 leading to the Great Depreasion. FDR's idea was war was good for business and selling weapons would make the US alot of money. Dragging their economy out of the Great Depresion. Creating jobs, saving lives while not risking their own, create a new industry and also ensuring Britain didn't get away with their continued Empire Building around the world. So Churchill had to make concessions to the US. All without comitting a single US soldier. Also, war is good for business.

My parents, to their dying days, always believed that Roosevelt knew beforehand that Japan was going to strike Pearl Harbor and allowed it to happen, with the huge loss of American lives, in order to be able to declare war and enter World War II. According to them, most Americans felt the same way. Daddy went in the next day, Dec 8th, to volunteer to serve. Due to his age and medical history he had to fight to be allowed to serve and he never got to go overseas, which he was embarrassed about his entire life. That was a major difference between WWII and when I served, in Vietnam. In WWII, most men wanted to serve their nation. During Vietnam a sizable number of men were willing to do whatever they could to avoid serving, even leave the US and go to Canada.

I think it had a different weight. WWII had reached America with Pearl Harbour, with real people dying on American soil. Before the cold war. Vietnam and the "police-action" in Korea did not and came with a different "justification", a different reasoning. Yes, most wars are explained to the public by saying something about freedom, way of life, gods will etc, but it has a different feel to it, if it is in the context of people dying on hometurf, or not. And the price in blood of WWII was still fresher in memory, when Vietnam happened. I am sorry, if I sound judgemental, it is not intentional, but I am not a native speaker, so I am not sure how to phrase it better.

Props to your dad. He was like James Stewart, had to push to be allowed in the front lines. Unlike John Wayne. Which of them featured in WW2 films afterwards? The reality of the Nazis going over the Atlantic was more tangible. There was their foolish attempt at drawing in Mexico. Vietnam on the other hand, was far and miniscule. It was harder to convince people that impoverished farmers fighting for their independence were a direct threat to the USA. The theory that Roosevelt knew about Japan's impending attack is pretty much debunked by this video. It is possible that some intelligence or suspicion that it might happen. But I doubt he would know for certain and did nothing. It's too much of a political risk if you discount the immense effort he put in keeping America out of the war. Vietnam on the other hand, the false flag operation to justify the start of a shooting war was pretty much exposed.

As long as Roosevelt lived he was correct. The issue became an issue because Roosevelt never took into account that though he was the youngest, his health was the most compromised. FDR never brought Truman into the inner circle and like the rest of the country believed FDR and Churchill were very tight and of one mind. They were close but Roosevelt had his own mind and agenda. And it had nothing to do with underwriting the British Empire

The western allies should have negotiated with the USSR to leave eastern Europe and promising the soviets that Europe from oder river would have been a neutral demilitarised zone. The west should given them Finland and manchuria if the Soviets really wanted some compensation . Stalin note was proof that Soviets only wanted a buffer zone and had no interest in ruling eastern Europe. This is the same deal which ended the cold war in 1990 when the west agreed that NATO wouldnt expand beyond a reunited Germany but the only problem is that NATO didnt keep its promise of not expanding and now america has to defend frankly speaking useless nations of eastern europe and contain china in the pacific at the same time.

Roosevelt was a very cunning and duplicitous politician. He told people what he thought they wanted to hear without every really committing himself to do what they wanted him to do. A very slippery character.

Without England, the axis power wouldn’t have to split their troops to both fronts therefore increasing the chance of them winning the WW2.

@@marcze2525 Roosevelt, had to contend with two powerful factions at home. The pacifists who wanted nothing to do with the another European war which included some industrialists, and the industrialists that saw the great profit potential. Up until 1938, the US was selling scrap steel and large amounts of Oil to Japan. This ended with their invasion into China, He was trying to get Japan to settle by economic pressure of deprivation of materials. This infuriated the military except Yamamoto who had gone to college in the US and understood the industrial potential of the US. While Churchill did make some persuasive arguments after September ,1939, during 1940-41 Roosevelt sent emissaries unofficially around the world to countries that would need support after the war was finished so these private wealthy citizens acting on FDR’s behalf made under the table agreements with various rebel leaders to fight against Germany and Japan,unbeknownst to Churchill. Such as Mahatma Ghandi, and Ho Chi Minh. These agreements were signed on US currency byRoosevelt and his emissary then the persons affiliated with the agreement all in secret. These agreements would have been the basis of Roosevelt’s stance after the war. Even the most vocal of the non involvement proponents such as the US ambassador to Britain, Joseph P Kennedy publicly stated that we should have no involvement unless we were attacked. A premise that we have followed until 9/11.

@@walterulasinksi7031 Pearl Harbor and 9/11 aren't even remotely the same. Pearl Harbor happened because we put Japan on a draconian oil embargo. Japan didn't "invade" Manchuria, because China had no right to the land; same with the annexation of Korea, which the Koreans wanted and the western powers recognized it. Japan was an easier target to lure into war than Germany, Japan was also battered fighting KMT forces for 10 years, no western power cared at all for a decade until it was convenient for them. FDR signed JB 355 months before Pearl Harbor, he was borrowing Chinese bombers to attack Japan. FDR did have to placate both sides, but all he had to do was be honest; he could have convinced the American public that the US had to help the Allies take down Germany, instead he lied and threw a former ally under the bus. 9/11 was intended to have as much civilian casualties as possible; the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor believing eliminating the naval fleet could end the war earlier, they had to fight the US and Allied forces either way if they stayed in the dutch east indies. Bin Laden formulated 9/11 because the US supported Israel.

@@millabasset1710 yes the Oil sales reduction was draconian as was the restrictions on selling them our scrap steel. Both were due to the expansionist actions of Japan. When Roosevelt transferred the major pacific fleet to Pearl Harbor as a measure to decrease transit time to defend the Philippines, and while some of the Japanese codes were broken as far back as WWI, the code changes after the expansionist movement began, placed the US at a disadvantage. It might have been anticipated that the Japanese would try to take Borneo where the British had control of the oil there, but we could not be sure.

When the British Army was rescued from Dunkirk, in EARLY June, 1940, FDR turned over to the British more than million rifles, 250 rounds for each, as well as 900 field artillery pieces. By the end of summer Roosevelt was turning over nearly the full monthly production runs of US P-40 fighters, which made all the difference in the early stages of the North African campaign. By spring 1941 the US Navy was waging an undeclared war against German subs in the Atlantic.

If any one is truly interested in learning about Churchill and Roosevelt: read Nigel Wilson’ s three books: 1) The Mantle of Command, 2) The Commander in Chief, 3) War and Peace.

This is very good -- to a point. It naively assumes that Churchill (a politician in a democracy) had no idea that Roosevelt was a politician in a democracy. They both lied, exaggerated, minimized, pushed, and praised to persuade. The US had a miniscule army at the start of the war in Europe and Roosevelt spent the first 18 months building it, and by playing the slippery politician -- lying to everyone -- managed to do so with the support of both the internationalists and the isolationists. Even if he'd persuaded Congress to declare war -- far from a sure thing! -- he'd have had a domestic political fight on his hands which would surely have impeded the process. His strategy was brilliant....even if it was the outcome of endless small pragmatic decisions.

Amazingly well scripted documentary. WW2 of course a never ending subject with reproductions that are currently and will be eternally fealt for the nations of the world. It is epicly intriguing to look into the minds of these large as life leaders. Hearing their personal thoughts, concerns, gleeful agreements, disappointed differing viewpoints, seeing their restraint and breaking points to that restraint to apply force, plays of power on the geopolitical chessboard. This is all very interesting and fits right in with the military decisions of the war and the intense ice cold tensions for decades after the war. Well done on this. The transcripts of their personal contemplations and that of their secretaries is like gold for the ears of a WW2 junky. 🇺🇸🇬🇧
