That moment in 1066 when you send your army to deal with the Normans in the south but they can't invade due to a storm but some Vikings invade the north so you send your army all the way up north and defeat them only to find out the Normans are invading in the south for real now and you get shot in the eye with an arrow and die.

I think on #11 I would add so-called "Miracle of the House of Brandenburg", when Prussia was on the verge of collapse during Seven Years War, but got saved by emperor Peter III, who not only stopped his army right before Berlin, but even gave some of his troops to Prussians, all because he fanboyed over Frederick II too much :)

Did the Ming Chinese have the technology to cross the Pacific (or even the Atlantic, if they went the really long way) and discover the Americas? My idea is that even if they did find the continent, they wouldn't have been interested in establishing colonies in the same way the Europeans were and history would not have changed too much.

The Siberian and Manchurian lands offered almost nothing to the Chinese. While Europeans knew every port established was one port closer to India, the Chinese would have just seen Siberia as frozen wasteland leading nowhere. I do not know much about Chinese and maritime technology in general during this time period, but I would assume it would have been impossible to cross the entire Pacific. 100 years later, Magellan barely managed to do it. If the Chinese reached the Americas, they may not have been interested in the land. After all, they discovered the Phillipines but decided against contesting local leaders there, because the isles had little to offer for them. Maybe the Chinese would have set up tribute colonies if they discovered the new world's vast silver deposits.

I am not aware of any other of Napoleon´s marschals becoming a king, he usually granted them some small principality or duchy, but nothing major, he reserved the big titles for members of his family. Actually the only other general who became king was Murat, whom Napoleon made king of Naples, but that was only because he married Napoleon´s sister and was therefore part of Napoleon´s family. Bernadotte´s story is unique, he wasnt made king by Napoleon, he was elected by the swedish parliament itself, as Sweden happened to be in the midst of a succesion crisis right during the Napoleonic wars. Thats why he didnt lose his crown as soon as Napoleon was booted out of France. All because some swedish baron thought, for some reason, Bernadotte would be the best pick and managed to convince the swedish parliament. They could have chosen any prince or high noble. Bernadotte was a son of Parisian prosecutor, he didnt have any sort of royal or noble ancestry, let alone to Sweden. Napoleon himself thought it utterly bizare. It would have been extremelly unlike that someone like Bernadotte would have been picked for the possition of a king. Like beeign struck by a lightning while a shark is biting your leg off while winning in a lottery unlikely.

Number 10 is really only surprising if you don't look into it that much, or don't know that much about the region. To say that the Mongols were not very good at seamanship is a gigantic understatement. On both occasions, the Mongols attempted to invade Japan by crossing the Sea of Japan during the typhoon season, with the second invasion occurring at the very height of typhoon activity. And then you have the fleet of the second invasion, which was launched with such haste that the Mongols used boats worthy only for river travel, again at the height of typhoon season. If anything, it's something of a miracle that they made it there at all, never mind got utterly wrecked when the inevitable finally occurred. I think one quote (that I am probably at least partially paraphrasing) best sums it up: "the army that conquered half the world on horseback suddenly decided it could launch an amphibious invasion". In my humble opinion, the end of the Mongol invasion of Europe was even more of a surprise, when the young and fit Genghis Khan dropped dead of a heart attack on the very doorstep of Western Europe. And then there's The Miracle(s) of the House of Brandenburg, where blind luck happened to save Fredrick II's Prussia not once, but _twice, in the same war_ when armies arrayed against him were literally right about to conquer his nation. That said, this was a good video and I enjoyed watching it.

Great vid! Love how informative and entertaining it is, along with your others! New subscriber, and I'm glad I did ^^

You should have honorable mentions as well. My personal favorite surprise moment in history was Oda Nobunaga´s victory at the battle of Okehazama in 1560, against Imagawa Yoshimoto, when his forces defeated an army which was about ten times as large as his army. After that battle he also gained a valuable ally, Matsudaira Motoyasu, later Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Tokugawa Shogunate some 40 years later.

The Confederates did not advance on Washington because they were also disorganized and exhausted with heavy casualties (for that time period). The Union army fled the field, but First Bull Run was only a tactical victory not strategic. The American Civil War is a long story about how neither side was able to secure any really decisive victories through individual battles.

Hannibal crosses the Alps, Caesar marches on Rome, JFK is killed, 9/11

Honorable mentions (ignoring unexpected military victories because there are so many of them): - Ancient Greeks getting surpassed by Rome despite all their famous Greek intellectuals and early power - Christianity taking over the Roman Empire despite the initial attempts to stop it - Europe not defending the Byzantines from the advancing Ottomans despite fighting the Crusades before - Spain not becoming the leading power of the world despite a long head start and huge size, especially in North America - The Soviet Union dissolving without a huge fight to keep itself together

Nope it was because he was outnumbered 2.5 to 1. The Romans had 100k troops at their disposal and could call upon more as they wished. You have to also remember that Hannibal wasn't a king, he was a general. Carthage was controlled by the rich aristocrats that prioritized trade and wealth even in the heat of war. He wasn't given any reinforcements, money, or assistance by the fatasses of Carthage Abd so he could only get this by looting the countryside. Going into the Roman heartland and attacking Rome would leave him vulnerable on all sides and the siege would take too long. His only choice was to defeat the romans in decisive battle, which he did over and over again, but he was called back to Carthage to defend the city.

@SantomPh

6 жыл бұрын

That is no surprise. Hannibal needed siege weapons to seriously attack Rome , and he never got them. Plus his Gallic allies never really proved reliable as they were really there for the money. Hannibal always needed to stick his neck out to please his Gallic and Spanish allies. Although Hannibal defeated Rome 3 times it never occurred to Rome that he would actually win overall, since they had much more men and Hannibal was essentially on their turf. The Romans also had support in Carthage's government, which was half for and half against Hannibal.

@jasonfenton8250

His plan after crossing the alps was to get Rome's allies to turn on Rome and join Hannibal's army. This didn't work, Hannibal did not have the men or equipment necessary for siege. Hannibal's only logical options were retreat or a harrasment campaign where he could hope to distract the Romans enough to hamper their invasion of Carthaginian territory.

I swear I was thinking of that storm for Japan. I'm so glad it made it on your list

I would say a few more. 1) The Mongol Empire. I think this is more impressive than Alexander the Great. Phillip II had already set up the Macedonian Kingdom for Alexander to go to war with. So Alexander started with professional troops at his command. Temuljin started with nothing. He was the son of a low ranking noble, who died leaving him to be raised by a single mom and his siblings. They were then abandoned by their tribe to be left for dead. He went from that, to becoming a leader in other tribes, to defeating his opposition, outnumbered and led by his most trusted friends who betrayed him (Jamukha), then once he united them, he went after the tribes which had ruled over them and treated them like vassals i.e. the Tatars. After he did that, he went after the people who treated them like tributaries, Jin Dynasty China, and rapidly defeated them. Meanwhile, he also went westward, conquering the Kara-Khitai after they were taken over by one of the nobles who fled Genghis Khans wrath (they invited him, and he then usurped the throne and took over, a real asshole). Then the Khwarezmian empire insulted him, they felt like they could easily take on some steppe warlord, and he defeated them as well, expanding the Mongol Empire to the borders of Persia (people say he conquered Persia, but he really conquered the homeland of the conquerors of Persia i.e. Khwarezm, his successors would take Persia proper). Ending his life by taking out a Western Chinese state. Everything after is even more impressive, because after Alexander the Great died his empire fell apart, Genghis Khans fell apart more than 100 years after his death. Sure that's not great, it's not the Roman Empire, but it's better than the Soviet Union. It's even more impressive when you consider that the Mongols weren't the first nomadic steppe empire to try what they did, but they were the most successful. 2) The Roman Empire. Maybe this one is a bit different, but this wasn't some kingdom like Alexander which just decided to conquer everyone. They made enemies, conquered, then integrated them. They didn't have some grand design for conquest, they just gradually kept growing until they had an expansive empire. Pretty impressive for a state that was built by criminals and outcasts, and had to kidnap the women of a nearby tribe just to reproduce. 3) The Fall of the USSR and the Communist bloc. This one still baffles Communists to this day, since they resort to conspiracies as to why it actually fell (they blame America). But just 5 years earlier, it seemed as strong as ever. Then they voluntarily withdraw their forces from Eastern Europe, letting the Eastern bloc fall to protests. Then they themselves fall. It all happened way too quickly.

The storms that stopped the Mongel invasions were called the kamikaze which translates to “God wind”. Also the Chinese didn’t just stop exploring the world. They destroyed the ships too.

Late to the party but I would argue against Dunkirk as a number of reasonable explanations have been offered. I would argue for Pearl Harbor as literally everyone was surprised by it. Also Constantine's conversion after the battle of Milvian Bridge was pretty surprising and probably the single most important event in modern Western history (IMO).

"Miracle of the Marne" and "Battle of the Teutoburg Forest" ?

Neither of those are historically surprises. Teutoborg was an ambush and a well planned surprise but not HISTORICALLY a surprise- Arminius was certainly supposed to win.

It would be so funny if that one french soldier just shot Napoleon as he was talking.

The Mongols came over, ready for war, and died in a tornado. But they tried again! And had a nice time fighting the Japanese but then they died in a tornado.

Soviet Union could not invade Finland.

Great video but I have 2 tips for you: 1. The volume of the video was very low, I had to turn up all the way my headset to hear it properly. 2. Put some titles, fancy background and decoration on the screen because these pictures/paintings are cool but this looks very "low budget"-windows paint style. Just a tip to get the channel fresh and even more interesting. :)

Hey, EmperorTigerstar, can you please do the ambitions of the Axis video just like you did to the Central Powers? And please detail the Lebensraum if you do.

Pompey not defeating ceasar when he had a chance definitely deserves to be on the list

JohnnyElRed You can not remember more than three wars, where the winter played a role. And secondary and not the main thing. With hundreds of other defensive and expansionary wars, which led Russia. Propaganda-Boy.

The Fall of Constantinople wasn't really much of a suprise. The Roman Empire had been on it's deathbed for around a century prior to that and had already been sieged twice by the Ottomans before 1453. The 4th Crusade was probably a bigger suprise, suprised that wasn't on the list.

One time I was at the store and my mom was like do you need any of your breakfast bars (things I ate before school) I said no, I have plenty at home. We return home and no breakfast bars... Biggest surprise in history

NOBODY EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISATION!!

2:45 i wouldnt call the German Army in 1940 a modern and fully equipped army. Some of the french equitment was arguably better than the germans. Also, a lot of their divisions were lacking in motorized transport and relied heavily (more than france and Britain) on horse drawn vehicles.

The biggest 'surprise moment' in history I read about recently was the hilariously face-palm-inducing story of the tiny spontaneous coup that somewhat unintentionally replaced the democratic Brazilian monarchy with an authoritarian republican dictatorship. The 'Empire of Brazil' was the most democratic and stable country in South America at the time and was widely regarded by the international community as an emerging great power. Pedro II, emperor of Brazil, was at the peak of his popularity and almost universally loved by his people. So popular was the monarchy that the leader of the coup, who was himself a monarchist, expected to be immediately arrested and imprisoned. Most of the participants, including its leader in the initial stages, thought they were merely forcing a change of the cabinet. Instead the emperor, who had grown weary of his position after 58 years on the throne and didn't want his daughter to succeed him, refused to give the order to put down the coup and let them proclaim a republic so he could retire to Europe. Other than a few hard-line republicans, plantation owners who were angered by the recent abolition of slavery and, paradoxically, the emperor himself, nobody (including most of the coup's participants) had any real desire to abolish the monarchy.

On the second invasion attempt of Japan, the Mongol navy was kind of just chilling in the water looking for a place they could land without enemy fortifications. Even though the first invasion had failed in the same way, the Japanese still engaged survivors on land, and had fortified the coast in preparation for the second. Had the Mongols even landed at all on the second, they may not have encountered the storm that time.

Great video, but I have a few things to talk about. 1. Napoleon invaded Spain because the old king was going to abdicate, and the new one was heavily anti-French, as well as that anti-French sentiment was rising. 2. Hitler stopped Dunkirk because the Panzer Divisions were out of fuel, and exhausted, so yeah. 3. China stopped exploring all of a sudden because the king who encouraged had died, and everyone else was heavily isolationist.

i like it!)
