Hello, author of the original article here. Just popped in to say that Karl did a great job in bringing this story to life. Much of the word count was taken by figures and names, to say nothing of the complicated chain of consequences leading from the flawed warning system to the brink of nuclear war. But Karl’s delivery was riveting, equally tense and enjoyable. Keep up the good work!

George Harrison of The Beatles held 2 NY concerts in 1971 for Bangladesh. Partly because of the war, & partly because of the devestation. Nice reporting KS.

It took several years for the money to get to Bangladesh. Why George was never knighted in his lifetime for that is beyond me.

THANK YOU.

Excellent video! Riveting from start to finish. And terrifying. I hadn't heard of this cyclone before and the lead-up to the creation of Bengladesh, so I definitely learned a lot today.

Interesting channel Karl 👍

Suggestion: Agincourt for Henry V!Love your content karl😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤

Interesting 😮😮😮😮

I Couldn't imagine anyone else other than Simon doing these presentations Carl, however you have done an amazing job!!! SIMON WHO!!!? 🤣

I am currently doing my doctoral research on this topic. I am investigating the role of various actors in setting a new level of disaster politics right after the Bhola cyclone. The cyclone created a domino effect that ultimately led to the birth of a new nation, first time in human history. Fascinating!

hello from Australia!

Man, I didn't know about this at all. I was aware of the East/West Pakistan thing and that they split after a brief war, but nothing about this cyclone. Fascinating stuff.

The opposite for me. I remember the cyclone (I'm old AF) and only learned of the East/West Pakistan thing in another video (probably in the Whislterverse) in 2023. I didn't come out from under my rock until educational channels became a KZread thing.

Hmmm.. Smallwood.. same brother.

I jave heard about this from my family in Bangladesh, they kept us hidden from the worst of it. It is so scary what they went through and often go thrpugh again and again

Doing good Karl.

"Karl" xD yeah it's pretty funny

I very much like your presenting style and it was fascinating to revisit a moment from recent history I have not studied or thought about for several years. Very nicely done.

Not sure if he's just slowed down from when he started, or I'm getting used to his speech pattern, but I quite like his presentations of late.

The Middle East, a place where races, religions, and continents come together to form one thing: conflict. It’s been like this for centuries and I don’t see any end to these conflicts.

The central government's handling of the relief effforts helped exacerbate the bitterness felt in East Pakistan, swelling the resistance movement there. Funds only slowly got through, and transport was slow in bringing to the devastated regions. As tensions increased in March 1971, foreign personnel evacuated of fears of violence. The situation deteriorated further and evolved into the Bangladesh Liberation War, which led to the 1971 Bangladesh Genocide.

Don’t mean to sound dumb but could someone please explain who does what channel? I love Simon’s delivery method but am more than willing to give his collaborations a go… I thought this was Simon’s channel but don’t recognize Karl’s name. I am a big Brain Blaze, Casual Criminalist, into the shadows fan.

I'm getting used to the change of host finally, but have you thought about a beard? It may be that final detail that's needed 😁

Karl yep that is funny 😂😅

Thank you Karl!

Don’t change your presentation style - hearing from different voices and styles makes content so much more engaging.

I would love to know what, ‘Interim host means?’ So, what does it mean?

Oh hey Karl, I didn't know you were taking over for Simon, nice!

Pretty sure it's still run by him just with a new host... Whom I REALLY like by the way. He does a really good job and I like his voice. And I'm not saying that he put a picture of his real mom up or anything but there is a semi famous painting called "Whistler's Mother" and i think it would just be funny and cool if it were to be in the back ground on some of Simon's current and/or former channels. No disrespect intended towards the new host or Simon and definitely not Simon's mother. (My mom passed away some years ago so I know it's not cool to talk about anyone's mom/mum n ANY kind of negative way)

Did you get teased about your last name so much while growing up that you instinctively try to cut more people off in a passive aggressive way?

i feel this video could have been shorter n very concise

Great job Karl, I like you better than Simon already.

Your presenting style is just fine! I've been binging both this and biographics channels along with those of Simon. I admit I was surprised the first time I saw one of your presentations but was by no way disappointed! Keep up the good work, and really hope you lose that "interim" title and become the official presenter! For all those who miss Simon, there are plenty of other more channels to enjoy him. Instead of comparing between the two, just enjoy both, each at his place!

Cant stand to watch any videos with this dude is in them he gives me a headache

Appreciate your / your team's work, if not always the take on things. I try and enjoy to be open to other's opinions unless they are bat-shit crazy and involve politically convenenient assassinations !

ENUNCIATE!

And this could still be the cause of a nuclear war, the US's participation in the conflict was a major factor in India developing their own nuclear weapons, which then prompted Pakistan to also develop nukes. And given Modi's government's increasing nationalism, and Pakistan's continuing instability, it's not a great situation.

Smallwood, Arnoldo ... I fail to see how this big "standoff" almost started a nuclear war and why this isn't really clickbait bullshit. No ultimatums, no warnings, no threats ... just some ships within a few hundred miles of each other. But this isn't why I gave it a dislike. No, that was for the snarky US reference and bullshit cheapshot at Kissinger. If you want to be a channel with any kind of historical significance, you can stop that.

Bring Simon Back for Geographics and Biographics. He pioneered these, there are enough Side Projects or Channels to get some substitute teachers.
