The Netflix series “WWII In Color: Road To Victory” fifth episode “The Invasion of Italy” goes into a lot of detail about that now overlooked part of WWII. It even questions why America & the British Commonwealth bled so many resources fighting to take Italy. Rome fell the day before D-Day in June 1944 but German efforts to hold central & northern Italy for months afterwards turned the European theatre into a three front war for Germany that became nearly impossible to win.

Must be the best map animated video I've seen w.r.t. WWII. Brilliantly summarizes all major events, considers all fronts and touches on subsequent results.
This video on the Geo History channel should be a recommendation for International Relations students or anyone interested in the history of World War II. I say this because after watching for 23 minutes 54 seconds, I found various advantages contained in one video. I saw that the complex World War II can be presented in a simple, coherent and detailed manner through the Geo History channel. Not only that, the use of a world map as a process of describing the events of World War II actually makes it easier for viewers to understand, from the beginning of the causes of World War II to the consequences of this war.

Kinda forget the Frissi people who are now the Dutch have existed and were their own tribe since before even the Romans arrived. So he thought the Netherlands and England (both descendants of the Frissi people of which many are still alive) would happily join the union. Just liek Austria used to be part of Germany aswell. Netherlands, Belgium and England: Heavy resistance it is Austria: I will remain independant whether you want it or not. I mean even Belgium and the Netherlands, and the Netherlands and England (remember shared heritage, English people are the closest people DNA wise to the Dutch) couldn't stand each other enough to be one nation. How did he think all Germanic people (this includes Northern Europe) would live happily together under German rule? There were tons of war that germanic and Nordic eventually all just got their own nations. Like be happy over 50% of these two groups live in Germany alone. Leave us other Germanic and Nordic nations alone. Nope was the answer apparently, we were lucky England was founded on an island so they could hold out and we all had a plce to flee towards and regroup at.

EDIT: Quick fact about the civial war in Spain: Hitler, intervened in the Spanish Civil War after Franco seeked for his help. Establishing fashism in Spain would serve his interests in expanding in Europe. Besides, as he was developing new weapons and war tactics, he saw the Spanish civil war as a great opportunity to test these "live". The civil war had one of its bloodiest battles in Guernica. Picasso drew a huge painting called "the battle of Guernica".

To anyone wondering: This is of course not true. Franco, leading the Nationalists, sent a plea for help to Hitler, who, seeing the opportunity to gain an ally or at least a friendly government in Spain, of course agreed. The goal here was to make sure that there is no French-/ Sovietfriendly government ruling Spain and also to secure access to Spanish resources. Same goes for the USSR who simply tried to gain a socialist/ communist ally or subject in the Republicans.
Thank you for mentioning Canada in the invasion and battles of D-Day. A lot of documentaries forget our part in the play..

Canada just hit juno Beach and it wasn't really anything compared to what the American went through on D Day. Canada just pretty much walked onto the beach unopposed. The Americans get most of the attention because they had the most casualties and juno beach in comparison was a Sunday stroll.
This video is the perfect Way to learn about WW2

I love it! Straightforward, detailed, well paced, and with no fluff.
For those wondering: Petain was put on trial for collaboration with the Nazis,he was found guilty and sentenced to death. His sentence was commuted to life in prison without parole on account of both his service to France during WW1 and his age. He was stripped of all his military honors other than his title as Marshal Of France. As De Gaulle said of him: "His life was successively banal, then glorious, then deplorable, but never mediocre"
All your stuff is top notch, well done

А мне не очень понравилось. Диз не поставлю конечно , потому что это труд. Но ... ни слова про ленд лиз почему то. Война с территории Финляндии почему то велась только возле Ленинграда, а про то что немцы на севере рвались к Мурманску вообще ни слова. Но что больше всего убило - то что у все завоевания Японии сохранялись до 1945 года, что совершенно не так.
Good quick history lessons. Thanks 🙏
Italy in both world wars: Hey Germany! Wanna see a magic trick? Bing! I'm in the allied camp!
18:26, nice rhyme 😃
19:28. Thanks for using the period correct old Canadian flag.
Pure truth. Like I was teached at school. Nowdays this facts are beeing distorted through politics. But you present pure truth. Thank you for that!
I remember my grandfather (RAF photographer) retelling the day he first saw German scouts and advance attack planes flying down from the north over Greece. Two weeks later they were evacuating!
14:18 Love the addition of Portuguese East Timor
That was fantastic, I watch WW2 documentaries a lot and this was a great timeline you typically don't get.
i love this video so much information that i wasnt educated on. Japan did messed up bombing pearl harbor, they really poked a sleeping lion and found out.
Maps offer us insights into world events that we otherwise would be hard pressed to find. Awesome video.

It's kinda crazy that the UK was basically soloing about a dozen countries for a while. That island defense is bonkers and they were just everywhere on the globe at that time.
A very good documentary of what happened from beginning to the end of the war
17:30 important detail nice that you said it
Awesome video! I love this informational style. It's like Oversimplified but *not* simplified. I'm definitely going to learn about some areas of history I don't know much about. Subscribed.
This is a great summary but every doco about ww2 I watch always fails to mention that Australia was also bombed by Japan as well as Hawaii and a sub was in Sydney. As an Aussie remembrance day is a huge part of our culture and so many of our soldiers helped in the war and died and are never mentioned as much as I feel they should be. Xx
It must have been asked before, but what software do you use to do your map ?
Ww1 and ww2 are amazing subjects, I’ve seen countless videos and documentaries about them but this guy is the greatest! The music his voice the cadence the information all just fits is so perfectly this guy is amazing I’ve learned so much! Dude you’re great keep it up love your videos!
