The British had promised India would get independence if Indians got conscripted in the war. The number of Indians who participated in the war was immense as a result, with even Mahatma Gandhi encouraging everyone to get conscripted. And when the war was over, the British gave India a masterpiece: A gate in New Delhi with the names of all the soldiers martyred on it.

It hits different when you realise how far the channel has improved. The audio quality has become so better.

How to win at Trench Warfare: (1.) Tunnel under your own Frontline Trenches. (2.) Bait enemy to attack/ advance. (3.) Pour out like Army-Ants and delete them. Long version: Build large systems of tunnels _underneath_ Your trench system, with many well-concealed entrances/ exits to the tunnels all throughout your trench system. Keep up the ruse, fighting up in the trenches, keeping the trenches fully-manned, for months, making sure the stand-off is believable, and that there's time to dig/ build the tunnels, plus enough barracks rooms and command facilities, ammunition storage, etc. Use counter-intelligence operations to make the enemy think they can pull off a major attack. You'll want their attack to be as large as possible, but not so large that they continue advancing past your first, Frontline trenches. You'll want a bit of a second no-man's land dividing your Frontline trenches with your second line of trenches that you can retreat to. If you have to, you can build the tunnels under your Frontline trenches very quickly, like Viet-Cong style. But if there's more time, then larger, cleaner, more spacious, more structurally- sound tunnels would be good, not just for troop morale, health, and safety, but also for increasing the effectiveness of quickly moving large numbers of troops, and also staging a sizeable force down there. You'll also want multiple tunnels that connect back to your secondary line of trenches, so your forces can be moved in to the tunnel without detection, stay well-supplied, and retreat if necessary. As for above-ground connecting trenches between you Frontline trenches and your second-tier trenches, you'll want to close those off or fill them in, so that when the enemy takes the bait and occupies your Frontline trenches, they won't be able to advance to your second-tier with cover. You'll be connected by tunnels, so filling-in the connecting above-ground corridors will help further-sell the idea that your line was vulnerable, and you were planning a retreat. You'll need that second No-Man's land to keep the enemy from advancing further. When the enemy advances, feign an above -ground retreat in the trenches, so that the enemy moves into your Frontline trenches in-force. Let them settle in, while lightly peppering them with small-arms fire from your secondary-line of trenches. But only shoot enough to keep them where they are. Hopefully they'll bring in reinforcements on top of their initial assault troops. All your extra troops who've been in reserve down below in the tunnels will wait for one of two things to happen, to then attack in a massive, close-quarters ambush: (1.), an enemy soldier accidentally bonks his helmet or rifle on the wall of the trench, and hears it strike wood, instead of the dirt that's covering the hidden door/ hatch, and he's about to investigate. If half of your troops below are constantly standing by, ready to pour out, then the other half that's sleeping, would have just enough time to grab their weapons and rush to their designated attack-point. If one of the concealed entrances is discovered, and this instantly triggers your ambush, you'll still have the element of surprise. (2.) If none of the concealed entrances are discovered, you can intentionally plan the attack however you like. Let the enemy get comfortable, hit them while they're sleeping, or hit them while your retreated-trench-troops have a firefight across no-man's land with your house-guests above; or hit them during an artillery bombardment when the enemy think there's no possible way anyone is crossing no-man's land; etc., whatever you want. If you can manage to prevent even a single enemy troop from escaping your ambush, you can do this more than once, and take some serious chunks out of the enemy's total forces. But your ambush would need to have enough tunnel-egress points into the trenches, to instantly occupy every last enemy soldier, so that none of them can Get a radio message off before they die. Any enemy weigh a radio would be the #1 target. That would be the ultimate battle-victory, if the enemy leadership, back behind their own lines, thought their Frontline trench-troops all died under the normal circumstances of trench warfare. They'd move more troops to the front and you could start over with the same plan. Depending on the original layout of your Frontline trench system, you could have all the tunnel entrances in places where soldiers would be unlikely to hang-out, like little, recessed, dead-end split-offs from the main walkways. You wouldn't want your ambush troops to open their concealed hatch right in the middle of a main trench walkway, where there could be dozens of soldiers within a few meters, all ready to fight. Maybe you could _only_ put rain coverings over parts of the main sections of the trenches, and do the ambush during a heavy rain, when the exposed little dead-end inlets won't have a bunch of enemy soldiers sitting around smoking or whatever. The more troops you can get through and out the concealed doors, without instantly getting shot at, the more overwhelmed the enemy will be. You'd have to get creative though, because the enemy will be using your own trench while facing backwards. So what used to be rear-wall storage-inlets, are now on the side that's facing your retreated forces. So your Frontline trench has to have at least two main, parallel trenches, so that you can count on where they'll mainly be. But if you dig these storage inlets into the front (what's originally the front) of your trench, that might look very suspicious. So your Frontline trench would have to be engineered specifically for this strategy, with a connected, parallel, rear-main trench that the enemy would naturally use to face your retreated troops. That would leave your original Frontline trench at their backs. This would've been so much shorter if I could just draw a picture!

Spain was simply neutral at the time. Where the Spanish flu originated is unknown, but the first major outbreaks happened in Canadian military camps and spread through troop deployments into France. The press wasn't allowed to report on it (if they found out at all) so as to not show weakness to their allies or to the enemy. Spain, being neutral, wasn't under any such obligation to stay quiet, so when the virus reached Spanish cities, their press was the first in the world to write headlines over it. Thus it was dubbed the Spanish influenza. Source: Extra Credits' video series on the topic.

I love your channel and find your videos immensely enjoyable! With that said - I feel your take on Jutland / Dreadnoughts in general is rather off the mark. The 1st generation dreadnought era is characterized by the naval doctrine "fleet in being" - the idea that the threat of a fleet sortie, especially an inferior navy's sortie is more valuable than the sortie itself. This is absolutely true, and it is the reason why the Royal Navy was stretched so thin in the Second World War. Neither the Kriegsmarine nor the Regia Marina (Nazi and Italian navies, respectively) could have challenged the Royal Navy, but together, their existence was threat enough to stretch the Royal Navy nearly to the breaking point until the decisive Battle of Cape Matapan took place. By reserving their main battle fleet in Wilhelmshaven, the Kaiserliche Marine's High Seas Fleet presented such a threat to Great Britain that only third-rate and outdated vessels of the main battle line could be sent to the landings in Gallipoli (which failed spectacularly). Similarly, the threat of the Royal Navy's Grand Fleet in Scapa Flow prevented the High Seas Fleet from sailing into the Atlantic with anything other than submarines. And the nature of submarine durability and crew complement necessarily restricts the taking of Prize-vessels, meaning they had no recourse but to sink those ships which carried supplies to the aid of England. This provoked the United States into war with Germany, a fact which proved decisive. In short, it was not the fear of losing dreadnoughts and super-dreadnoughts which prevented the Grand Fleet and High Seas Fleet from putting to sea more often - it was an appreciation of their true strategic value.

This video should have one of the most Important topic. 'British inconsistent triplicate diplomacy'

2:38 it should be noted that chemical warfare was used a lot in WWI because the situation just made it more effective than it should have been. First, everyone spent months in small, tight, low laying trenches, which is exactly what you want when you want to catch people in dense gas. Second, chemical warfare is best used against soft targets. If you keep on gasing an enemy army, they will just make gas masks standard issue. However, this was not as much of a problem in WWI, since the French were still in the "bright red pants" phase of the war. So it is hard to be a softer target than the un-helmeted head of a WWI soldier. In comparison, modern use of chemical warfare is only 'effective' against civilian targets that lack the resources and training to deal with it. Of course, even in the 'war is hell' mentality, that is still considered being a jerk.
