Hello, friends!
2
World War II is the most devastating war in human history.
3
Numerous large cities were left crumbling after this war.
4
Today, nearly all geopolitical events and international relations can be traced back to this War.
5
Friends, I've told you many stories from WWII in previous videos.
6
But in this video, come, let's understand WWII in depth.
7
Starting to end.
8
What happened exactly?
9
Why? And what was its impact?
10
This is the story of World War II.
11
"It is difficult to track down one single event that sparked the conflict.
12
For ultimately, it was a series of events that conspired together.
13
To eventually light a flame of war." "The world's most hated treaty, the Treaty of Versailles, thus starting World War II in 1939." "The whole world is against Hitler and Hitlerism." Let's begin this story in 1919.
14
The year when World War I ended.
15
And the famous peace treaty was signed known as the Treaty of Versailles.
16
This treaty contained an important clause, Article 231.
17
Which held that, all the losses caused due to World War I, Germany was to bear the responsibility for all such losses.
18
This clause is also known as War Guilt Clause, because basically, it was trying to imply that regardless of the countries participating in the war Germany was to be blamed for it entirely.
19
France and Britain wanted Germany to pay heavy costs for losing this war.
20
They wanted to recover their losses from Germany.
21
As a result, according to the Treaty of Versailles, Germany was told to pay a fine of $33 Billion to the other countries.
22
In today's money, it amounts to around $270 Billion.
23
This is such a large amount that you won't believe that it was only in 2010, Germany made the final payment of this fine.
24
It took almost 100 years.
25
You'd wonder where this money comes from.
26
Obviously, from Germany.
27
From its citizens.
28
The first payment of this fine was made by Germany in 1921, right after that, there was hyperinflation in Germany.
29
Germany's currency back then was the German Mark, you can't imagine how rapidly it was devalued.
30
In 1922, in Berlin, a packet of bread cost 160 Marks.
31
The following year, in 1923, the same packet of bread cost 200 Billion Marks.
32
Obviously, the economy was crippled.
33
And the rate of unemployment rose rapidly.
34
In such circumstances, in our story, entered Adolf Hitler.
35
A young political leader, who knew how to manipulate the masses with his speeches.
36
In 1923, Hitler's Nazi Party tried to overthrow the German government.
37
By staging a coup.
38
Even though this attempt failed, this caused Hitler's popularity among the masses to increase manifold.
39
Rumours were spread among the people that the embarrassment faced by Germany the international humiliation of Germany, were because of the 'anti-national' elements living in the country.
40
People were distressed.
41
It was easy to manipulate them.
42
Hitler claimed that the Jews and Socialists living in the country, were to be blamed.
43
They were the reason for Germany's disgrace.
44
Over the next 10 years, propaganda was used in abundance, media organisations were paid, hate speeches were everywhere.
45
I won't go into its details because I talked about these in the video on the rise of Hitler.
46
In case you haven't watched it, I'll add the link in the description below.
47
In 1929 came the Great Depression.
48
This worsened the already bad unemployment situation, in 1933, 6 million people were unemployed in Germany.
49
Many people were homeless.
50
Children were starving to death.
51
As a result, in 1933, Hitler declared himself the Dictator of Germany.
52
After taking over full control of the country, Hitler started working on making his dream of a German Empire come true.
53
German Reich.
54
A state that would be racially pure.
55
Its residents would be people of the Aryan race only.
56
There would be no space for Jews and Slaviks.
57
To fill people with hatred, they came up with the Judeo Bolshevism conspiracy theory.
58
According to this conspiracy theory, the Russian Revolution in 1917, was supposedly caused by the Jews.
59
Which eventually led to the formation of the Soviet Union.
60
In 1935, the rest of the world came to know that Germany had an air force.
61
This might not seem like a big deal to you, after all, every country has its air force.
62
But friends, the Treaty of Versailles laid down the condition that Germany cannot have any form of military power.
63
This was an open violation of the Treaty of Versailles by Hitler.
64
But by this point in time, many people in Britain believed that the contents of the Treaty of Versailles were very unfair to Germany.
65
They were asking for such a large ransom, that crippled the country.
66
And the country wasn't even allowed to have military people consider it to be very demanding.
67
In June 1935, Britain signed the Anglo-German Naval Agreement.
68
This formally recognised that Hilter had the authority to form his navy.
69
Germany could have an independent navy.
70
But the growing militarisation in Germany alerted France.
71
France built a 450 km long fortification on its Eastern border.
72
This was named the Maginot Line.
73
In 1938, when Hitler believed that his military was sufficiently prepared, he focused his attention on their neighbour Austria.
74
Austria was a must-have country for Hitler.
75
He wanted all German-speaking countries to unite as one nation.
76
His ultimate goal was not only to conquer as many countries as possible to satisfy his pride, but also to acquire its resources to advance his own country.
77
The people Hitler believed to be racially superior, his Aryan race, he wanted to give them Lebensraum.
78
To give them living space.
79
So that they could live freely.
80
In February 1938, Hitler met Austrian Chancellor Kurt Schuschnigg, he was forced into signing an agreement.
81
The agreement allowed Hitler to place pro-Nazi people on the Austrian government.
82
The Austrian government was infiltrated by appointing his own people For example Dr. Hans Fischböck.
83
He was supposed to be the new finance minister of Austria.
84
He was a Nazi, and the other Nazis who were in jail, were set free by him.
85
Within a month, things were out of control.
86
Austrian Chancellor knew that if the infiltration was to be stopped the people needed to be consulted first.
87
Whether Austria should be an independent country or be a united country with the Nazis.
88
He decided to have a national vote for it.
89
As soon as Hitler found out about the national vote, Hitler took his army and marched into Austria.
90
The German military entered Vienna.
91
But the Austrian Chancellor wanted no bloodshed.
92
He resigned from his seat.
93
Hitler used his propaganda ministry to spread fake news.
94
Of riots happening in Vienna.
95
And how the Communists were responsible for the riots.
96
And so the Austrian government asked the German army to help them protect Austria.
97
The next day, the Austrian Parliament was dissolved And Austria ceased to be an independent country.
98
This invasion was successful without any bloodshed.
99
A major reason for this was that at this point, many people in Austria were in Hitler's favour.
100
They were victims of the propaganda.
101
They believed Hitler's invasion would help them.
102
That Hitler could make their country into a superpower.
103
After taking over Austria, Hitler moved on to the next country.
104
Czechoslovakia.
105
On Czechoslovakia's border, there was the region Sudetenland.
106
Of the people living here, around 3 million were Germans.
107
Hitler used that as an excuse to claim that region as German's, due to the Germans living there.
108
Here British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain came into the picture.
109
He wanted to avoid a war at all costs.
110
He believed that if Hitler was given what he wanted he would stay calm, and there would be no wars.
111
This is why, in September 1938, the Munich Agreement was signed.
112
"The settlement of the Czechoslovakian problem, which has now been achieved, is, in my view, only the prelude.
113
There are larger settlements in which all Europe may find peace." Under this agreement, this region of the Sudetenland, was to be given to Germany only if Hitler promised that there would be no more wars.
114
Hitler gladly took this piece of Czechoslovakian land, but not even 1 year passed before he violated the Munich Agreement.
115
March 1939, Hitler took his army to invade the rest of Czechoslovakia.
116
People fought for the first time.
117
But the German army won easily and the country was split into 2.
118
One part was included in the German territerritory and the second part was made a Nazi client state.
119
A puppet government was placed under the name of the Slovak Republic.
120
British Prime Minister Chamberlain faced heavy criticism due to this At this point in time, Winston Churchill famously said, Hitler looked for the next country.
121
Poland. To take control of Poland, in a sly move, Hitler signed a Non-Aggression Pact with the Soviet Union, in 1939.
122
At first glance, you'd think that Hitler hated the Soviet Union and Communist ideology.
123
So why would he do this?
124
The only reason for this was to invade Poland.
125
The Soviet Union wanted a part of Poland too.
126
In this situation, the interests of the two nations were aligned.
127
On 1st September 1939, nearly 1 million German troops started moving towards Poland.
128
They planned on attacking from the North and South simultaneously.
129
Other countries were shocked at this.
130
The UK and France were at the edge of their patience.
131
If Hitler continued invading one country after the other, the next number could be theirs.
132
How will the world cope?
133
They couldn't tolerate it any longer.
134
The UK gave an ultimatum to Hitler.
135
If they went ahead with Poland's invasion, they would declare war against Germany.
136
Hitler ignored the ultimatum.
137
And with this, the UK officially declared a war against Germany.
138
After this, France, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and Canada declared war on Germany too.
139
UK's Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain broadcasted this announcement on the radio.
140
But friends, at this point in time, World War II hadn't actually begun.
141
This period is known as the Phony War.
142
Because there was no real war yet.
143
Though technically, these countries had declared war on Germany, none of these countries provided military support to Poland.
144
Poland's army was extremely old-fashioned.
145
Their army still used horses.
146
They couldn't last against Germany's military strategy.
147
Neither Britain nor France could save them.
148
Nearly 1.3 million people were mobilised in Poland, but it didn't even take 1 week for the German army to defeat them.
149
On 8th September 1939, German troops occupied Poland.
150
Friends, here it's important to mention Hitler's revolutionary warfare strategy.
151
Known as Blitzkrieg.
152
Using this, Hitler successfully invaded several countries.
153
This military strategy focused on speed and stealth.
154
They used tanks to invade the countries so quickly that their opponents didn't have the time to think.
155
And then their air force would join from above.
156
It was known as Luftwaffe.
157
And the invasion took place at a lightning speed.
158
In German, Blitz means lightning.
159
Hitler focused on making the wars as small as possible.
160
A war that could be wrapped up quickly.
161
Within less than a week.
162
To maintain this Blitzkrieg, German soldiers were given drugs.
163
That's right.
164
A drug by the name of Pervitin was quite common.
165
Today, we know it as Crystal Meth.
166
"Confidential military communications revealed that the Allies suspected that the Nazis were using something to supercharge their troops.
167
But they had no idea what it was." When this drug is taken, it takes away fatigue.
168
One doesn't need sleep.
169
It suppresses hunger and thirst, reduces pain, and gives a confidence boost to the user.
170
Giving such drugs to soldiers proved enormously advantageous.
171
Even if it was extremely harmful to their long-term health, in the short term, it was very useful in winning these wars.
172
The defending soldiers would waste their time by sleeping at night, while the German soldiers could fight day and night and finish the task within 2-3 days.
173
As we move forward with the story, you'd see how successful the Blitzkrieg military strategy was for Germany.
174
Now, back in Poland, Not only was Poland invaded by Hitler, but the Soviet Union was also invading it from the other side.
175
After it was defeated, it was partitioned into two.
176
Half of it went to Nazi Germany, And the other half to the Soviets.
177
The logic used by the Soviets was that before the Russian Revolution, the area actually belonged to the Soviets.
178
And so they deserved it.
179
But from the Soviet's perspective, there was another country which was a part of the Russian Empire before 1917.
180
Finland. Stalin was worried that Germany would invade Finland.
181
Stalin couldn't really trust Hitler.
182
The worst problem with it would've been that the city of Leningrad, where Stalin resided, was only 50 km from the Finnish border.
183
Had Finland been actually occupied by Nazi Germany, they would've been too close to Stalin's home.
184
So without waiting for Hitler to try to occupy Finland, the Soviet Union asks Finland to hand over their territory to the Soviets.
185
Obviously, Finland refused.
186
And so the Soviets launched military action Soviet Union's army was much larger than Finland's.
187
They had better equipment too.
188
But this war lasted for more than 2 months.
189
And the Soviets couldn't gain much.
190
Finally, in March 1940, this battle was over.
191
And the Moscow Peace Treaty was signed.
192
According to this, 11% of Finland's land, would be handed over to the Soviet Union.
193
In the meanwhile, Hitler's focus wasn't actually on Finland.
194
He was looking at Norway and Denmark.
195
In April 1940, Hitler prepared his plans on how he could establish control over Norway and Denmark.
196
On 9th April 1940, Hitler used his Blitzkrieg strategy to invade Norway and Denmark.
197
This invasion didn't last long either.
198
Both were small countries.
199
How could they compete against the German Army?
200
The Norwegian government fled to London and in London, a Government in Exile was set up.
201
In Norway, Hitler established his puppet pro-Nazi government.
202
British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain accepted his failure.
203
The failure to protect so many neighbouring countries from the Nazi invasion.
204
Due to this, on 10th May 1940, he resigned from the position of Prime Minister.
205
The seat of the Prime Minister and its responsibilities were handed over to the infamous Winston Churchill.
206
On the same day, 10th May, Hitler launched an attack on France, Belgium, Netherlands, and Luxembourg.
207
This was a declaration of an all-out war.
208
Everyone could see that Hitler didn't intend to stop.
209
At the beginning of the video, I told you how France had built the Maginot Line because they were worried that Hitler would attack their country.
210
They were building a wall at the border.
211
The French troops lined the wall to protect their country.
212
"...is the fate of Holland and Belgium, like that of Poland and Czechoslovakia, and Austria will be decided by the victory of the British Empire." On the borders of Belgium and Luxembourg the Allied forces were stationed to protect them.
213
Hitler used his trademark Blitzkrieg strategy.
214
More than 1,000 fighter bomber airplanes around 3 million soldiers on the ground as the offence for Germany, this was known as the Battle of France.
215
The German troops were divided into 3 groups.
216
A, B, and C.
217
Group B was to attack the Netherlands.
218
And then enter Belgium to fight the Allied forces.
219
Group C was to attack the Maginot Line.
220
And are you wondering what was Group A supposed to do?
221
Group A was the master plan.
222
Group C's attack on Maginot Line was merely a distraction so that Group A could sneakily execute the master plan.
223
Entering France through the Ardennes Forest.
224
This was a vast forest was believed to be a strong fortress by France's military experts.
225
They assumed that the German army would never be able to come through it because it would be too difficult.
226
They didn't expect the German army to invade via this forest.
227
More than 40,000 military vehicles were used.
228
by Group A to enter France through this forest.
229
On 15th May 1940, they captured Sedan and started travelling Northwards.
230
The British army fighting Group B in Belgium were shocked to see the suddenness with which the large force attacked them from behind.
231
The soldiers were surrounded by the Nazi army from three sides.
232
They had only 1 way to escape.
233
Through the sea.
234
Near the port of Dunkirk.
235
So they planned to escape from there.
236
What happened in Dunkirk was a historical turn of events in WWII.
237
Nearly 400,000 allied troops were stranded on the beaches of Dunkirk.
238
When I'm using the term 'Allied' it basically refers to the British and French armies.
239
The countries fighting Hitler their group or their collation is known as the Allies.
240
And the countries fighting in support of Hitler, are known as the Axis Powers.
241
It was crucial to save the Allied soldiers in time because the Nazi army was moving towards them at great speeds.
242
They had no other way of escape.
243
They could evacuate only through the sea.
244
If this couldn't be done in time, 400,000 troops could be killed there.
245
It would've been a huge drawback for Britain and France.
246
They might have lost their countries forever.
247
Winston Churchill made a plan to evacuate the soldiers.
248
On 26th May 1940, Operation Dynamo was launched.
249
The biggest evacuation in military history.
250
On land, the German army had reached the beaches.
251
They were firing at the troops.
252
The German airforce was attacking from above.
253
Christopher Nolan made the amazing film Dunkirk which masterfully depicts the events that took place there.
254
This film focuses on 3 areas of evacuation.
255
First, British Royal Air Force's counter attack.
256
The British ships which were coming to evacuate the Allied soldiers were given cover by the British air force.
257
To protect the ships.
258
Second, some private fishing boats in the English Channel and the common civilians joined in to help in the evacuation.
259
And third, the events that took place on Dunkirk's beach.
260
The soldiers trying to save themselves and helping each other.
261
4th June 1940.
262
Nearly 350,000 soldiers were successfully evacuated.
263
As you would've seen in the film as well.
264
But the bad news was that most of the military equipment of the Allied forces was used up in this evacuation.
265
Some days later, on 22nd June 1940, France surrendered to Hitler.
266
By this point in time, in Italy, was under the rule of Dictator Mussolini.
267
He formed an alliance with Hitler to wage war against France.
268
The alliance of Italy and Germany was known as the Pact of Steel.
269
The two countries declared war against France and Britain on 10th June.
270
By July 1940, the situation was that Hitler had established control over nearly all neighbouring countries.
271
Austria, Poland, Denmark, Norway, Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, and France.
272
At this point in time, Hitler's Germany, Britain, and the Soviet Union.
273
Germany and the Soviet Union had a Peace Agreement.
274
So Hitler needn't be wary of the Soviet Union.
275
He believed that the Soviets wouldn't attack Germany.
276
He thought that Britain was the only remaining fighting Germany.
277
You'd be wondering about America's role.
278
Friends, America wasn't involved in WWII yet.
279
America was standing back because after World War I, America wasn't interested in interfering with Europe's situation.
280
It was clear that had they stopped fighting at this point in time, Hitler would've been the clear victor.
281
Hitler had a major upper hand.
282
So how did the situation take a U-turn?
283
And Britain could defeat Germany?
284
"We shall fight on the landing grounds, We shall fight in the fields and in the streets, We shall fight in the hills, We shall never surrender!!" Friends, let's talk continue this story in the next video, part 2 of the video on World War II.
285
I know what you're thinking, this might sound vague to you, that you'd have to wait months for the part 2, don't worry about that, I won't torment you with the suspense for too long.
286
Because this time around, both videos were shot together, and edited together.
287
Till then, you can watch this video, in which I explained how Hitler used propaganda to brainwash German citizens.
288
Basically, the way Hitler took over the government and control.
289
There's an interesting angle to this story involving Albert Einstein.
290
You can click here to watch it.
291
And I'll see you in the next video.
292

- ฟังวิดีโอให้จบหนึ่งรอบโดยยังไม่ต้องพูด แล้วจดคำที่ยังไม่รู้จัก
- เริ่มที่ความเร็ว 0.75× พูดตามทีละประโยค แล้วกลับไปใช้ความเร็วปกติเมื่อเริ่มคล่อง
- อัดเสียงตัวเองแล้วเทียบกับต้นฉบับ โดยสังเกตคำอย่าง invade, ally, evacuate เป็นพิเศษ
