*"History will be kind to me, for I intend to write it"* -Winston Churchill
Vladimir Budinski right he actually was a little bat
So why the fuck are you anti-jew facists being salty?
@@ahyan14 This is another one of his quotes: *"I do not admit that a wrong has been done to these people by the fact that a stronger race, a higher-grade race, a more worldly wise race to put it that way, has come in and taken their place"*
That moment when Churchill denied the Holocaust and worked with Stalin and FDR during the Yalta conference to economically destroy a lot of europe for the second half of the 20th century and also helped permanently fuck up the political landscape of europe.
Did he say that? Awesome
"The victors get to choose who is good and who is bad" said by many people and is true
only thing i was thinking about when seeing this video

"History is written by the victor, history is filled with liars. If he lives and we die, his truth become written and ours is lost"
"War does not determine who is right. Only who is left." - Bertrand Russell
@@GGreyWolff Where is this from? It sounds incredibly familiar
I tell ya T2, you are indeed not of this time. Your take on the world is more like great Classical music. You are part of the much younger generation that often times gets a bad rap. You are entirely too unique to be categorized in such a way. You’re a renaissance man in a much younger package. From your intelligence and what I consider ageless wisdom, to your choice of facial hair, you’re a cut above the rest. I’m a 50 year old seeker of knowledge and wisdom that appreciates your uncanny ability to teach us all a thing or 2! You’ve become possibly my favorite presenter and I look forward to your continuing contributions.
imma compare your speech to hitlers
Straight up!! Couldn’t have said it better brotha!
Every time I hear someone refer to a 'British leader' or' British hero' its almost always an English person, who is usually hated by the majority of the rest of the country. As a Scottish person I know he did a good job running the country during the war and can of course acknowledge this but I can also recognise that he was a racist, sexist, homophobic bigot who supported slavery and the apartheid. From our modern perspective its easy to see how this has been overlooked and even covered up by historians to perpetuate the myth that he was an amazing heroic leader.
You ok hun?
You can see him trying not to smile as he slides into the sponsorship

Damn son.
HYPERBRUH he said it
cmonbruh CHU MEAN
I love it how when it comes to WW2 people seem to always forget that USSR existed.
But I'm not saying that Stalin was a great leader, he's the opposite.
Especialy when they took Berlin and at the Victory parade they were marching first then French followed by Team GB and USA ,)
That's because just before the war the Russians government had mass slaughtered its way to power killing millions, the Russian people suffered more by their people than than the nazi
I find it rather interesting how people entirely forget The Bengal Famine of 1943, that Churchill directly caused, killing close to 3 million people of starvation because they weren't even allowed to eat the food they themselves grew..
You'll have to tell me where to go look it up where they link it to Churchill... What I've found so far on it blames natural causes with a few blaming the people of their own demise...
Churchill was not the direct cause at all, war-time inflation was one of the biggest Cause as it pushed the price of food out of reach for the common folk.... a cyclone and mass flooding is the biggest cause but Churchill cabinet made the situation worse due to them focusing more on the war effort as the nazi regime was on the British doorstep, there was virtually zero way to send resources out of Britain....
You cannot say that a drought, a natural disaster, is one man's fault. I agree he did take food away from the locals, but he did that as the troops needed it, if the soldiers were not fed there would be noone to protect India and Burma against the Japanese which were objectively way worse than the British
Basically what I'm saying is that your right it was a bad thing but it was picking the lessee of two evils
Always the smoothest transition to SkillShare
Skillshare hates white people.
Or is it vice versa? 😉
I was specifically looking for this comment, LOL!
Guess I just posted a comment that was on his other videos but perhaps not this one.
The winners always write the history books, don't they?
UK didn't win a shit in the WW2, it was just lucky !!
FTM Graphics they did take credit from all that luck. So they did write history. The french did the same thing didn’t they !?
Not really, winners just write the 'recent history', after it's no longer written it tends to get re-written by the historians. Just look at all the 'winners' who are no longer shown in a positive light.
CHURCH HILL IS SHIT AFTER WORLD WAR 2 HE LOST ELECTION BECAUSE HE'S INCOMPETENT HE HAS NO REFORM FOR DOMESTIC HE JUST DRAG UK TO DECLINE GERMAN NEVER WANT WAR WITH THE BRITISH IT'S JUST ALL PROPAGANDA TO JOIN WAR. HITLER NEVER SEE BRITISH AS ENEMY BECAUSE MOST OF PEOPLE THERE ARE GERMANIC WHICH IS HITLER BELIEF TO BE SUPREME RACE BRITISH START BLOCKAGE OF ALL GERMAN NAVAL VESSEL GERMANY JUST RETALIATE IF UK NEVER ENTER THAT STUPID WAR THEY STILL HAVE THERE EMPIRE AND WE DON'T HAVE FINANCIAL TERRORIST AND BANKERS WHICH HITLER HATE THE MOST .
Today the people have the right to write all kinds of history books. Especially on the net. Why the losers didn't wrote a book to reveal to us the truth?
fun fact: in Operation Catapult, at Alexandria, there was one French ship where a number of officers waited aboard armed solely with a cake and 27 candles to celebrate the British commander's birthday.
Noo don't say that😭😭💔
Lincoln once said of slaves, "I would drown the lot of them if I could." He didn't care about slavery, he just wanted to preserve the Union.
6:48 I call bullcrap. "Annotation: In August 1862, Lincoln stated: "If I could save the union without freeing any slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that."
Thank you someone said it
He was against slavery, but his biggest thing was saving the union.
@Henryk Gödel it's quite fascinating how many people don't even know this
@Henryk Gödel but who the fuck asked?
I've also heard many southern soldiers detested slavery but fought purely out of fear that the federal government was beginning to trample on states rights.
*That's REAL smooth* of a sponsorship transition there Arran.
It's not a thoughty2 comment section without someone complementing the transition to an ad
Lewis it was actually a much smoother transition than that, he said 'those arent traits of a great leader, just a passionate, angry fool.... Are you passionate about something, and tired of feeling like a fool?!' i thought it was smoove as butta lmao.
"feeling too much like hitler? use skillshare."
true
Dean Natuno Wow he just said his whole government name!
Can't get enough of your voice. Came here after the president's football/briefcase thing just to rewatch some old stuff. Thanks for making these, luv u ❤️
This man is amazing and has helped me answer Quora question. I told others on Quora about study’s showing halden prison in Norway is one of the lowest recurring crime rates in the world. This guy has filled my brain with knowledge that is incredible. Thanks Thoughty2.
I like his videos but this video is trash. He says Winston Churchill did not wanted to invade a land. Bruh this man destroyed India totally. people were dying in bengal because he was taking all their food as reserves for the war. officials were saying to him people are dying do something but all he did is saying that "why Gandhi hasn't died yet"? He has as much blood on his hand as some of the worst dictators. This man is responsible for the death of 35 million Indians. This guy might be a great leader for British people but for us this guy is no less than hitler but you know british people not going to admit it anyway. He forcefully recruited Indians in british army for ww2 deaths and 1,500,000-2,500,000 indian lost there lives in ww2. “I hate Indians, they are beastly people with beastly religion"-Winston Churchill Quotes
It wasn’t just that Hitler directed the people to his ideals, but he exploited their deepest fears and strongest prejudices. That’s why he was so powerful in his speeches, he could read the audience and determine their mood.
"Do you wanna be more like hitler? I cant recommend highly enough the Skillshare course"
Thank you! This really cheered me up xD

Had Hitler become professor in public speaking, he would have gone to history in a positive way.

I like how rule brittania plays when he talks about Churchill
Awesome Video. Thank you
Churchill was involved in Concentration camps in SA. Good, and evil is a disneyland theme. Churchill is spoke of well due to the spoils of war. Expect better from Thoughty2

A food for thought: If the nazis would have won the war, he would be telling the same history with the same arguments just for the opposite side.
well... yeah they would tell it differently... theyre still evil though
A food for thought: If the nazis would have won the war, neither of us would exist. You know, butterfly effect..
zAriF hOsSaiN yes it is butterfly effect but Hitler couldn't really kill everyone that wouldn't fit his ideals. So you can't really say that we wouldn't exist.
LOL no
Luka Papež Yeah but the smallest change in history can make a greater change over time so we wouldnt exist as we are right now.
Nothing in Life can beat a good story.Well done Aaran.
Whilst being voted my the British public as the greasiest leader, Churchill is simultaneously voted by Irish to be one of the most hated
@@BizlaC true but he will still be very much disliked for his attitude towards Irish people
@@BizlaC I completely agree. There is no great leader without his enemies
@@BizlaC Question: What evil would they face?
@@BizlaC i dont understand, why Nazi?
@@BizlaC “if”?
2 million dead Bengalis might disagree with Churchill being a "Great Leader", he was an imperialist who wanted to preserve the British empire. He called Indians, "A Beastial race with a Beastial religion". The only reason he is considered a "Great leader" is because he won, just as Stalin was considered a "Great Leader" right after Germany's defeat.
RealHipHopManiac he was very racist but towards the end defending his island was his key moral
The people of India have yet to prove themselves to be otherwise. Ganges River being their washing hole proves how unsanitary and uneducated the people are. I am talking about their culture, by the way. The people of India, anywhere else in the world have flourished. Come to Canada and you will see many successful people from all over the middle east. India the country however, has been left in the past. They need serious reform.
+BlindlyZack Hey listen India was never like that before, it was rich af. Indians were the first to invent toilets and you think pooping in river is in their culture??? Indians were good at science, technology and astrology. but mughals and brits destroyed their culture and research books and imposed their own education system on them. Indians were the inventers of universities and you think they are uneducated? yes they are illiterate now but they were not like that before mughal or brit invasion.
Great like putin.
Don't judge me by my name. If they invented toilets then why did the majority of Indian houses not even have one up until a couple of years ago?
Since Im neither French nor British and since this is the first time I hear about this story, I will give my [hopefully] objective opinion. I cant justify Churchill's actions against the French navy. His decision was difficult yes, but ultimately based in his distrust of the French. Besides, if the French didn't want to surrender to the mightiest navy in the world against the most powerful ship at the time as you claim, then it makes sense that they wouldn't have allowed the Nazi's to take over their fleet without a fight, since they would be even less afraid or intimidated by the Nazi's. The French knowing that their Navy stood no chance against the British Navi, didn't surrender out of principle. That should have been enough for Churchill to realize that the French would do what they promised and destroy their ships. The real heroes are the French, who despite being surrounded and served an ultimatum by their supposed 'allies', didn't open fire or try to escalate the situation in any way. Besides, if Churchill knew that Hitler would undoubtedly try to capture the French Navi, why didn't he work with the French together to set a trap for the Germans and possibly end the war altogether or at least end the possibility of their advance outside of Europe? Oh right, he didn't trust them. What a hero. Sorry I know you're British, and I dont mean to insult, but I think its way more objective to say that he was wrong, or rather, didn't exhaust all his possibilities.
Dimitar Venov how would they know when the Nazis would come and grab the ships !! They couldn't have deployed such powerhoue vessels spying at french vessels ... They had to patrol around the isle
Dimitar Venov His whole way of thinking was _if Germany take over those ships, whole England is terribly fucked_ . Yes, French people didn't surrender, but it wasn't purely because of what heroes they were. They didn't truly believe their closest alies could open fire and kill thousands of them. It's better to be safe than sorry.
Dimitar Venov it was a risk to dangerous to take.
Dimitar Venov have you ever heard of a Uboat? If so you would know why warships can't set a trap against them
I mean it’s not only a trust issue... the Germans were known for their speed in war and it’s not certain if the French would even have the chance to destroy their own ships if the Germans carry out a surprise attack.
Winston Churchill was a hero! Especially to the Bengali people! Such a hero!
According to thoughty2 logic, maybe 4million Bengali deaths helped save 50million others
The Austrian Painter turned a horrific war torn country with the economy of Zimbabwe, into the 2nd richest and most feared, powerful country in the world in 5 years. He's the greatest of all time.

The British bias is hard in this one
Tanner Shahi can bias be soft?
Of course just as an American would be if he was talking about, say Eisenhower during the war or Patton . Just as a french person would talk about .... Nvm they would just surrender the argument
He boner probably broke his pant during this "unbiased" video lol
erwin naynes a non bias view would be that Churchill wasn't really all that great. For example he was very racist, and referred to africans as savages and he said that he was proud to have killed at least 3 of them. He would often use the air force to suppress rebels by bombing civilian villages and even suggested using poison gas against tribes in Iraq, much like Saddam Hussein did some decades later. It is also believed that Churchill was directly responsible for the great famine of Bengal in 1943, not only refusing to send them food from Britains own food storage, but also refusing to let other nations, such as the US and Canada, help them. The famine killed over 4 million people, most of them could've been saved if Churchill hadnt refused to help them

No doubt
I was just about to post a similar reply. Churchill was a war criminal & displayed racist attitudes towards brown skinned coloured people.
it's been a year and i still hear it heeey, 42 here
All I hear is "42 here", and the meaning of the name is to sound like 42, because it's the meaning to Life the universe and Everything.
Even the Google auto generated speech interprets it as "42"
LORD KHALID Because he saids "42 here,"
He mentioned in a video that that's what he actually says
Awesome video! thank you Thoughy2
17:03 imagine being this man
The dude is a legend!
Winston Churchill actually denied sending vital supplies to India which at the time was experiencing an awful famine comparable to that of the Irish Famine in the 1800s. He instead decided to send all this food to his troops stationed in France and Dunkirk when it could have easily saved the lives of millions of starving people.
Plasma Blitz Every leader in a war will choose its military before the rest of the population
Plasma Blitz yeep there are just praised by looking one side only😕
Jonas Dijk, What happened though was that any food like grain that was produced in India was *exported* to England when part of it could have been used to alleviate the famine.
Tushar jain, every famous leader in history has done something reprehensible.
The Indians brought themselves into poverty and famine. Indians bred beyond what they could even support with the food they had. They're to blame. Not churchill
the alternative for Churchill was to...you know, trust his allies instead of turning on them and killing them because he didn't have faith they would carry out their commitment to sink their own ships
It's also very possible they wouldn't have been able to. Or the orders could've been ignored. That's why this was a difficult choice to make.
They would not have sunk their ships and they would have fought alongside the Axis. All their families were under German control and many French were facist. The French Army did fight the British and Americans in North Africa.
And what makes you think when the nazis had invaded that the French may have complied with the nazis for fear of backlash to its citizens who were like hostages
Brilliant video 🙌🙌🙌
Damn right! You never show weakness, you never surrender, you never complain, period.......
As a Russian I see a bit of a double standard here. What I mean is that if you read about Churchill in Russian history books, monographies etc you'll see him as a very gray figure and and quite thee good-doer you portray him in this video. And I am convinced it's a question of perspective. Churchill did good for the British people, which is natural, and good for the British was not always good for the others. That's why I was surprised to hear you credit Putin's popularity to plainly mentality and good PR. The reason Putin is popular is quite similar to the reason Churchill is popular: the man is doing good for his own country. I am not a huge Putin supporter, but you can't deny him success in lifting Russia out of poverty and "new dark ages", you know. So in my opinion it's a bit strange to first praise Churchill who did a lot of extremely questionable things including even the one you describe here and at the same time say that Putin is only popular because Russians value power (that's a very strange statement, by the way, but that's not the point). If you try to look at this issue form the perspective of the country's people, you can quite easily understand why people support Putin, Kim Jeongeun or even why Germans supported Hitler at the time.
are you writing in English, or is your comment automatically translated?
Whenever people support nationalists with their pseudo-values then there is more idiots than we actually need.
Kim Jong Un gets supported because children in north Korea are fed with propaganda the moment they're born, otherwise I agree with your comment.
What do your history books say about Stalin, and the "work camps"? I'm very interested in learning.
Also, who switched Russia from communism to capitalism? It wasn't Putin. Putin just arrived when it was being born in Russia.
Hitler had a high approving rating as well. Globalism =/= Nationalism Preserving culture is different from preserving face.
Nationalists are the same atheist liberals claiming to be humanists
If only suicide prevention campaigns existed back then, Amen RIP
@Red Crown Centrists are conservative. They believe in checks and balances, equal measure of laws and freedom. So........? Leftists are National Socialists. they use right wing tactics (anarchy) to get what they want. Then they blame the right wing when their left wing politics fails as a means to make later attempts to implement leftism to survive and try again later.
@Red Crown Well I guess you dont know shit about the political spectrum. lol.... thats embarrassing for you.
@Red Crown Here Ill help you with the children's version. Left wing is total government. Right wing is no government. Centrists are equal measure of freedom and government. like the constitution.......... All oligarchs, totalitarians, socialists, communists, facists, are on the far left. all conservatives are in the middle and on the far right is no government. Anarchy. used frequently by the far left throughout history to obtain total power by destroying current structure. Dont you idiots learn anything in school anymore?
King Clovis of the Franks gets my vote. Do a vid on him Thoughty; interesting af. 😉
The section on Putin is rather more chilling today.
I think the definition of Great is arguable
You kind of forget to distill what it takes to be a great leader. You say - emotional intelligence - but then do not go into any detail about what that constitutes. Also, you skip over the fact that Hitler believed he was acting for "good" - not "evil". In fact, most leaders do. Even the communist leaders in the USSR, China, Cambodia etc. who killed millions of people of their own population, thought they were acting for "good". You also say that Churchill had no desire to invade and enslave other nations, but Churchill was earlier in his life actually quite active in the fights against the zulus and the boers in South Africa under British rule.
Well the victors get to choose who is good
The truth is there were several empires and Germany was one until WWI ended then they lost everything and were saddled with war reparations, hyper inflation and the depression. Meanwhile Great Britain still had its empire and was exploiting native peoples all over the world while they owned much of the world against the interests of the native peoples. Who created Hitler?
Jakob Jenkov you just debunked yourself on the Winston Churchill part lmao
Many of the leaders mentioned are basically amoral. They seem horrifyingly pragmatic and efficient. They know ( but don't care) that killing hundreds of thousands is bad- at least for those being killed, yet it is all justified by the endgame. The ultimately aloof omelet makers they are.
Actually, the difference there is with *Stalin* ; he knew perfectly well what he was doing was wrong, and he did it not caring at all. The Soviets got lucky that WWII took so much out of him to have him offed a few short years later.
I absolutely adore this guy
Thoughty2: Churchill had no desire to enslave other people Countries colonized by britain: Are we jokes to you
Yes you were
My first dislike on this channel as some others have said, you cannot be Thoughty2 so naive? It is so silly how you talk that before the world was black & white but now it is grey.. of course it was always grey, but because of the lack of internet and other alternative media made sure they did not make in the the history books

Yes, Winston didn't want to conquer foreign lands. He already had them. I expected a more nuanced video than this
England is a country His government still grabbed fewlast crown colonies in Southeast Asia in 1946 against the Atlantic Charter. The expansionist tendency remained
if anything, he should of gave up their countries/colonies instead of wasting money, time, and resources trying to be the king of everything.
Dregs give up everything? First of all that would.of course cause the British people to hate him which isn't good. Second, he would be deemed as weak by the neighbouring superpowers, this they would become more daring especially Hitler. Come on for that time period, expansionism was the norm
idgaf about the norm at that time. England was stretching itself thin just like Germany, including supplies and men. If they wanted to have more supplies, manpower, and resources give up india or a large colony which would of boosted their military, supplies, defense, and resources. I laugh at how UK, italy, and france want sympathy yet researching their treatment of people in their colonies just prove neither side could be trusted.
They were very effective yet their methods weren't really "heroic" from leadership perspective. "I have loads of people, lets throw them at enemy until they go away". Leave alone that Eastern Europe wasnt really paradise after WW2 when they were pretty much in charge. (not talking for or against Britain here)
When your goal is to crush your enemies, a great leader is more effective if evil.
Or else he'll spare them and they'll hit back
Sounds like a good way to lose support. You win people, not fights. Crushing an enemy only brings out the evil in others, eventually that evil will consume you.
@@maxz69 The best example is Julius Caesar. He spared his enemies which is why he got stabbed by them multiple times. Its a good thing Octavian learned from this and became the Greatest Leader in Roman History.
I love the grammar you use in your videos.

The "Great leader" Winston Churchill has the blood of many Bengalis on his hands.
Damn yes
Anubhav Saxena chruchil was far from the man thouthy describes here but you got to place the bengali famine in context . A was being war fought in bengal against the Japanse. Witch makes getting food there very hard. I mean if you want to show that the allies where not all good Either pick A better exampele
Hard decisions is what makes the man Great, yes it was a Bengal famine caused by the British, yes he ordered the ships to divert to help d-day. But what if d-day failed as they couldn't get enough men on the shores of Europe? Why is the lives of the Bengali always held in such high value compared to the lives his choices saved? Ok those ships delivered food now you don't have enough ships to supply the western front your Solders are falling by the hundreds thanks to limited munitions lack of tanks and basic medical supply's. your offensive failed and the 1m soldiers are stuck in Europe. Germany was able to force the allies off of the mainland and in doing delayed the allies by at least another year to regain the supply's and train new Men. you may even need to sue for peace thanks to public backlash. You also have to account for the soviets, they were not Britain's true ally and there was a race to Berlin look at what happened after WW2 imagine if they controlled more of Germany, Italy and France. Now if you had a choice between your country's and by extension the worlds future or the future on the other side of the world. i can understand his decision. im not gonna go over the point of the Japanese front as that has been said already. But it is what makes him a great man, he made the right choice, looked at the big picture. It is a horrible choice i pity anyone who has to make anything close to that choice.
@@kino6395 nope. The food supply was already enough for british army. Churchill did what he did purely because of hatred for indians. He was glad that indians were dying. He is a pure villain in india.
He ordered the captain of Lousiana to go to an area where he knew there were German submarines. Hoping it would be torpedoed with its American passengers. Then the United States would join the war. This plan went through. Churchill was nothing more than a power hungry politician who sacrificed others for his own gain. He was more or less a failure when he was a prime minister after the war.
Y’all do understand this is one man’s opinion. I glad we get to hear a man give an opinion and gives reasons as to why he feels that way. Seems no one does that anymore.
Super smooth segue there...
One thing irked me: Churchill was responsible for the Bengal famine which as most of his documented conversation suggest, was nothing but a genocide. How can he be great by the same token of 'good cause' or 'empathy for his people'? In the same official documentations, he ignored the dying bengalis because of his callous action of stockpiling grains for reserves and not providing relief for the workers who actually produced it, was his vile reply, "Why is Gandhi still alive?" Churchill was vile and I know the world probably needed him at that time. But the world, especially the English student in Britain, need to be taught of this too. That he was a necessary evil, but evil none the less.
Tell the Indians about Churchill's "sympathy"
Darkfireice At the time racism was the norm. You cannot simply impose current political views on the past and the call them evil. It's like saying all medieval lords were evil because the majority of the population lived in poverty. To flip it around, surely the countless Indian rulers before the British raj were evil as well, they often fought wars resulting in thousands of deaths. What makes them any better? Is it because they weren't white?
So why then is Hitler evil, if racism was norm ?
you don't know about Indian way of warfare and honor. we are not like you or any European tribes or the rest of the world. look at Indian history. i guarantee that no war we fought was mindless or we slaughtered any of the civilians harming civilians and surrendered soldiers are forbidden and no Indian(except leave Muslims rulers) king would ever think of doing that. surrendered king or lost king is treated with honor and wounded soldiers weather it is foe or friend was treated. and died soldiers weather friend or foe was buried with their customs and rituals performed . and many more. each Indian (except leave Muslims rulers)king was great and one million times better then the winston churchill.
Chruchill allowed Britain military to attack Greek civilians, read more on Gallipoli campaign and yes ottoman lands were taken in ww1, but Winston Chruchill was one of the main commanders at the invasion, he also failed in that invasion that resulted in many deaths. Why is it being like me? I'm not rating who is more evil, I'm just saying that there are more similarities between leaders then people see. I just dislike that Thought2 represents Churchill as great, empathic and intelligent leader with no flaws.
when did I say taken? I said invaded."Winston Chruchill was one of the main commanders at the invasion"
Winston Churchill is the greatest leader by far. He was willing to make huge sacrifices for the greater good and right reasons. In the film "The Darkest Hour" one scene stuck with me for ages and that was when he said " I will take full responsibility" and his opposition said "really?" Winston replied with "REALLY. YES SIR. IT THE REASON THAT I SIT IN THIS CHAIR!" which to me just shows that he knew what he was doing and that he was willing to live with the possible guilt of failure for the rest of his life if needs must just like he did with the Gallipoli situation and outcome. He was willing to risk it all and fight on the end no matter what.
Bro you disappoint me Thoughty2
I find the military history in this video was flawed: If the french warships were captured by the Third Reich, does not mean the Royal Navy would stand without a fight, and the loses would be too great for the Kriegsmarine to sustain, not to mention that the Third Reich managed their Resources for increasing industry output poorly. Just like how on paper the Italian navy had more ships (not supperior though) during 1940 than the British, but not the industry to make up for any of the losses. I am not saying that the Royal Navy wouldn't be very badly off, but it's unlikely that the Kriegsmarine wouldn't take a Heavy amount of losses. And even if the British would have the UK invaded, in Operation Sea Lion, it's very hard to claim that the Wehrmacht would do this without flaw, D-Day took several years to prepare for and even then a lot of problems were faced on the big day, so it is unlikely that the Wehrmacht would be different in that aspect. Not to mention the British home guard, standing quite strong. My next Point is just my opinion with out any real evidance (to my knowledge), but eitherway. I find it unlikely that the entire World would crumble if Britain had lost to the Wehrmacht. And if the Wehrmacht further would have attacked the USSR in better timing, it is still not likely that the Wehrmacht would have won a stagering victory, they were ready for a campagin of a few weeks, not a years long war, and it was still the Red army who defeated the Wehrmacht, not the Russian Winter. Anyways, great video, but what I Think one should be careful of; Making big what ifs is a dangerous zone to travel to, since we can't possibly ever know what would have happened, we can support our claims through facts, but we can never truly know. I know I am responisble of this myself, but to counter what I Think is unprobably I can only do the same. And as a side note: I do apologize for the Spelling and capitalization, a Swedish auto-correct works in mysterious ways.
Thank you for existing and making videos!
Very nicely envisioned and true about the Russian culture, especially today.

You oversimplified alot of historical events
Zemprophenom yes i agree quite shocked as he seems normally well balanced
You think he would make a 5 hour video of all the details?
This is KZhead, it's full of simple people who need simple explanations.
It is a 20min video, there's only so much he could discuss
o c e a n m a n prob cause if hitler gets his hands on the 4, he would have enough resources to replicate hundreds of them and build his own fleet
Churchill would have been overwhelmed without the ally's what is this?
"And he was passionate, but a fool... tired of feeling like fool, but are passionate." Nice Segway....
He is back baby Love you Thoughty2 Been a subscriber since the strangest planets in space. Time has passed You evolved content and video making wise Miss the suits hope they come back.
Do *more A.I and robotics, Singularity* please, that was an eye opener!
Ayy man love the videos, far be it from me to tell you how you should do videos, but you appear to have dropped your comment section.
13:55 Yamato begs to differ...
At that time, Yamato wouldn't be operational for a year and a half
Don't forget that Churchill lead the Gallipoli disaster which caused him to be fired from his job as head of the Admiralty. I don't think you can say that Hitler wasn't a great leader just because he had questionable morals. The defeat of Germany was a close thing. And don't forget that part of the reason for Germany's aggression was due to the way they were humiliated after WW1 by the allies. Look at the great Generals of ancient times. They are regarded as great leaders yet they often committed terrible atrocities.
Old plugin very good point. The man who defeated him, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, went onto achieve things that no one has rivalled yet if you ask me. Regardless of your opinion on him, as far as leaders go I'd call him great. Surprised he wasnt in the video.
Old plugin Now that is a good and well educated comment on the matter unlike most of the critically close minded comments I see here. I personally agree with the video yet I have to agree with your opinion here as it is a much more realistic perspective.
Old plugin Germany's defeat may not have happened at all were it not for Hitler's hubris and refusal to follow the advice of his experienced military leaders, like Rommel. His insistence on Barbarossa led to what most historians agree is the turning point against Germany at Stalingrad. On the home front, the nazi bureaucracy was hopelessly inefficient and whether this was by accident or design - depending on what interpretation you follow - it is hardly a hallmark of good leadership.
The reasons for defeat weren't solely his fault first of the ANZAC's landed in the wrong place and although they fought bravely the terrain was massively against them, also the Turks we're fighung on their home soil, for their country. The plan was a really good idea though.
Churchill was not a great leader. He did not care about all his people. In fact he was wildly racist, especially towards the Indians. He was responsible for the deaths of millions of Indians during the Bengal famine.
My comment was made in reference to the topic of the video and Thoughty2's claim that Winston Churchill was a great leader. Please consider the context before denouncing another person's views.
Rory Ayland At the time racism was the norm. You cannot simply impose current political views on the past and the call them evil. It's like saying all medieval lords were evil because the majority of the population lived in poverty. To flip it around, surely the countless Indian rulers before the British raj were evil as well, they often fought wars resulting in thousands of deaths. What makes them any better? Is it because they weren't white?
You say he was responsible for a famine? No those supplies were needed for the British Soldiers, which included over a million Indians who were fighting for their lives. It was a matter of priority and I am sorry to say but in WW2 and a war as desperate as that, Soldiers are far more important than civilians.
poorman then why the hell you guys scream your lungs about what happened to Jews !! Though more Hindus lost their lives !!
Iron Stark no the food wasn't sent to the soldiers but to rich and powerful men in Europe to keep the food as reserves
A great leader is one who fights only for the dignity of the most vulnerable.
I need this one for school yes school
“Hey Thoughty2 Here!” Damn, such a simple intro but catchy to me for some reason.
Got yours and pewdiepies notifications at the same time, I chose yours.
MrPryze heresy
Cause this is quality content.
Well obviously
Wise decision
Same
Your good at transitions
Winston Churchill, due to the the decisions he made through his entire political career, was the person who was mostly responsible for the demise of the British Empire. Such a great man caused the fall of the largest empire in history. That's showing some great leadership.
Was Attila the Hun a 'great' leader? Did he have emotional intelligence? Was Alexander the Great a truly 'great' leader? Did he have emotional intelligence? Was Julius Caesar a 'great' leader? Did he have emotional intelligence? Was Napoleon a 'great leader'......... Were they all just 'angry passionate fools' or just men of their times? Put simply the difference between a more and less ignorant leader is 'power to'? or 'power for'?
Alexander was very progressive for his time.
What you say about Churchill is highly debatable! One might even say it is biased. And the most of the time is spent on about Churchill although the title says about Putin
that evil smile at 3:11 because you knew you were about to plug skill share LMAOO
Notice how he zooms in on trump when he talks about traits he put for bad leader?
yeah very misleading
He’s definitely down on trump.
Trump good
Trump 2020 ! MAGA!
Trump 2020
As a Chinese, I must point out that Winston Churchill is no match to those cold-hearted rulers in Chinese history.
Chinese RULER. Not Leader. Get it?
It takes a leader to become a ruler.
Rulers of the day were made of wood. Now they're just cheap plastic.
mikitz uhh i dont think they would even be a matter of atom
so many negative comments with truths that are being ignored yet the dislikes are still at low.... why???
Butts Matters ugh people believe complete nonsense sense propaganda by Russia and idiot scumbag communist. Lol
@Michael Are you Ukrainian by any chance ?
"Who is History's Greatest Leader?" Well its definitely not the leaders shown in the thumbnail
Favorite KZheadr
Bruh, you must not know what Churchill actually did then, especially to the colonies
not at all relevant to the point of the video.
Come on, if you win a war, you can't be an asshole. Just ask Stalin. Just to mention, Churchill had almost the same amount of civilians killed as Hitler. But they weren't Jewish, therefore they don't really matter, I guess.
Hell with the colonies, everyone wants to move to England ,US, Canada, Australia, in short the European successes not the African Muslim or Latin hellholes.
Churchill wanted to use the slogan “Make Britain white again” or something of the like in his election campaign.
@@TwenOalley hum yes it is? Did you actually listen to the vid?
As a German I think that you overstated Hitler's rhetorical abilities. Of course he gave good speeches and understood how to manipulate the people but the way you described him it almost seemed as if he could control your mind through his super human speeches. I don't know how much you know about the German history and especially about the Weimarer Republik but I can assure you that not only Hitler's rhetorical power but more than that the general bad attitude of the public towards democracy lead to his rise. I find it really critical to glorify Hitler as a mad mastermind that tragically used his genius skills to do evil instead of bettering the world as you kind of did.
if you look at some primary sources from the time he was almost hypnotic. People who listened to him were in awe, even if they disagreed. While there were many many factors to the rise of Nazi party, Hitler's public speaking was undoubtedly a large part of the success, especially in the early years.
Yes, of course you could easily fall for Hitler's ideas back than while listening to his speeches. But that wouldn't be possible if not a lot of people were frustrated and disappointed by democracy or still were faithful to the German Emperor. They wanted a strong leader to substitute the fallen Emperor. That and a lot of other factors (eg the Treaty of Versailles) made his rise possible. That's why I think it is to simple to just say Hitler was almost like a magician controlling the masses. Because that kind of takes the responsibility from the people who systematically killed millions of people under his leadership.
Reagan, Lincoln, Washington, Trump, Teddy Roosevelt, Kennedy, and Churchill are some of my favorite.
Honestly if your question of who was best at leadership, your answer would probably be Marcus Aurelius or cincinatticus , if your asking who saved the world from certain doom the best. Then it would be Churchill
