The Most TERRIFYING Things To See In War
We were tired of self-censoring for KZread, so we told our animators to go crazy on the chapter about Biological weapons and post it to Patreon. Check it out and support the channel: www.patreon.com/join/simplehistory

As an good boy loyal American I don't really understand this sentiment. How can you get drafted when you already volunteered to protect your family, friends, and community? I mean you're not a coward are you? Because in the US the only time a draft could happen is if we're both at war, and running low on volunteers. We've done drafting sure, it's dumb, you get the least motivated people; only do it if you have no other choice.

I want to specify that the Atomic Bomb drops were NOT REVENGE for Pearl Harbor. The DOOLITTLE RAID was called “Pearl Harbor’s Revenge”, as was the Naval Siege of Japan. But under no circumstances, would any sane individual would ever call the dropping of the Atomic Bomb a revenge mission for Pearl Harbor. I bet even the Pearl Harbor survivor that I met in 2010 would not be insane enough to say such words.

*Ron Perlman voice* The Romans waged war to gather slaves and wealth. Spain built an empire from its lust for gold and territory. Hitler shaped a battered Germany into an economic superpower. But war never changes. In the 21st century, war was still waged over the resources that could be acquired. Only this time, the spoils of war were also its weapons: Petroleum and Uranium. For these resources, China would invade Alaska, the US would annex Canada, and the European Commonwealth would dissolve into quarreling, bickering nation-states, bent on controlling the last remaining resources on Earth. In 2077, the storm of world war had come again. In two brief hours, most of the planet was reduced to cinders. And from the ashes of nuclear devastation, a new civilization would struggle to arise. A few were able to reach the relative safety of the large underground Vaults. Your family was part of that group that entered Vault Thirteen. Imprisoned safely behind the large Vault door, under a mountain of stone, a generation has lived without knowledge of the outside world.

From reading the diary of an Allied POW at the Thai-Burma railway, working in slave conditions in the Thai jungle after being captured by the Imperial Japanese in the Fall of Singapore, he said (summarised): Many of the Allied prisoners and others (Thai or Chinese?) were forced to work were starved and looked like skeletons, and did not have long to live. They certainly did not feel regret about the nuclear bomb being used to speed up the end of the war, which lively saved their lives. This is not to mention the insane Allied and Japanese casualties that would have occurred in an Allied invasion of the Imperial Japanese Home Islands, had it occurred, which would have dwarfed the unfortunate nuclear casualties.
The first time I read about the ant walking alligator people, I had nightmares that I had driven into an apocalyptic wasteland and suddenly heard this noise that sounded like a bunch of quiet, murmuring croaks like the sound that girl in "the Grudge" makes, and that one started walking at me for no reason, not gesturing or anything, just walking with their arms crossed as if they were holding something but nothing was there... and they had no hands.. and they didn't really appear to have eyes, and their footprints were leaving behind a blood trail, and their blood was like an oily dark orange color, with soot mixed in... it was not a good night.

11:13 During the battle of Eylau in 1807, 12 000 French cavalry men charged the unprepared Russian lines. It is said that the Russian felt the ground shaking before even seeing the charge, and that, despite the fact that Russian troops were probably some of the most courageous soldiers of this time, some had a heart attack when they saw thousands of cavalry men charging towards them. Even if it is maybe a legend, yes, seeing cavalrymen charging towards you is probably horrific.

Yamaguchi’s story is especially interesting in that he arrived in Nagasaki, and was explaining to his bosses (He worked for the Mitsubishi company, if memory serves.) They did not believe him, that a single bomb could have such power, when the second bomb was dropped. I believe they all died, except Yamaguchi, of course.

I take issue with your use of the term "murdered" when describing the casualties caused by the atomic bombs. They were killed, yes. They were be no means murdered. There is a distinction.
Incoming Kamikazes, the Atlantic Wall and Banzai charges should’ve been on here.
When he said the UN banned the use of napalm on civilian targets I was pretty confused. You would think all bombs were banned from being used on civilians.
So you'll show medieval tortures and punishments, unit 731 but not medieval biowarfare?
What's crazy is that war has been and will always be a thing, it'll be a thing in the future, and in the past, even after Earth ends, conflict never ends.
Make a video on the battle of tarain 1191
Hey Simple History, would you please do a video over the Mesopotamia Campaign of WW1?
For me, the battle of Ramree Island (which has been covered on this channel) stands out. Why? For several days between late January and early February 1945, large numbers of saltwater crocodiles (reportedly) slaughtered Japanese soldiers, allegedly killing hundreds of them. Nowadays, it’s been proven that many of the victims had died of other causes, such as disease or dehydration. Still, the crocs must’ve been responsible for some of the deaths. I mean, getting torn apart by a prehistoric killing machine isn’t a pleasant way to go out. Then again, neither is death by dehydration or malaria.
That thumbnail is legit pretty disturbing Edit: well don’t change it
Fire bombing of tokyo and dropping nuke on Hiroshima and Nagasaki is probably the worst thing that happen at war. Survivor from this bombing account how the river is actually boiled and litter with dead burned body and some of the burned victim scream “i want water” and one Japanese told she give the water to one of the burned victim and they sip every single drop of those water from her hand.
