Video

The quality of this production is excellent. I found the comparative mapping of the two expeditions extremely informative. For example, I had no idea that neither expedition had depots beyond the mountain range described in the video. Also, I had no idea that Scout had created a depot so far away from the mountains both groups had to cross. The Norwegians laid THREE depots. By the way, Amundsen learned his snow craft in the Canadian Artic while living among the Inuit people. That was the difference (dogs, food, sleds used were all influenced by his time in the Artic). I enjoyed this video very much. Well done!!!

Amundsen did his research. His biggest advantage was the dogs, which were faster and provided his men with protein and protection from scurvy. Scott lost this race the minute Amundsen entered it.

I watched this in class and everyone wondered why u sounded like that 💀

Magnífica descripción de esa batalla naval, enhorabuena por el trabajo desde España

Los gráficos y mapas muy buenos, enhorabuena

Fue una victoria táctica rusa, pero victoria estratégica de Napoleón, básicamente debida a la torpeza de Chichagov -que era un oficial de marina. La captura de Napoleón y sus principales jefes estaba al alcance de la mano y hubiera supuesto el fin de la guerra, como dice la propia narración.

Do the german Blitzkrieg for the next video

nice

Thanks, enjoyed the small details in this that otherwise don't get a mention.

While a mildly interesting concept, it doesn't take much to realise that 19th century wooden warships would stand no chance against a WWI battleship. But DANTON was hardly a shining example of that class of warship by the way - although she was laid down about the same time as DREADNOUGHT, she was missing many of the revolutionary developments the RN battleship featured and thus not even a true dreadnought battleship. Frankly, a WWI battleship would have huge advantages in range, explosive shells, manoeuvrability, speed and armour. She probably could have simply rammed each British 1st rate and saved all her shells. This video could have been much shorter and achieved the same result. Incidentally, there are no troops aboard ships. "Troops" by definition are soldiers. Not seamen. Also, you say "...[DANTON] could traverse thousands of nautical miles, a stark contrast to the limited range of Napoleonic era warships." You've got that backwards, mate. Coal-fired warships were heavily dependent on coaling stations around the world to restock their coal bunkers. 18th century warships were only limited by their provisions. So quite the opposite.

Cuted ,disperse

Great video, simple and useful.

Ok , now if the submarine is submerged deep down then how does it get air to fill the tank ?

No way the first ship to surrender was a French one XD

Excellent.

Great video!

I can I use your video as presentation on my video

Übles English , laß es lieber . Sprich lieber vernünftig Deutsch , statt solch grottiges , jammerndes English . Ist echt grausam 😢

Just what I was looking for! Thank you, the other commenters just want entertainment

Tan byl tez korpus polski ksiecia Jozefa Poniatowskiego. Nie sam Napoleon

Thank you for saving me so much time trying to create a Powerpoint on this exact topic.

Clear explanation but blud sounds dead ash

Why is British BLUE and French RED? Makes no sense! Great animation! Thank you!

Sometimes it seems to me that the Franco-Spanish fleet is actually me in hoi4

when they were in september only 100k remanins,😅

"Cap Finisterre; France lost 2 ships". NO, Spain lost 2 ships, The "Firme" and "San Rafael".

The Norwegians knew a thing or two about extreme cold. Sadly the English didn't.

Very impressive animation that outlines very clearly Amundsen and Scott's differing strategies to access the pole. I enjoyed it. One point of accuracy - Scott used Ponies not horses. This was a mistake as they simply could not deal with the temperatures as dogs could. Amundsen actually took dogs to the pole with him... Their paw prints were visible when Scott's polar team arrived after Amundsen.

It's funny they used the french strategy in land to win in the sea

The notorious blizzard never happened. Scott faked it.

what map, wtf is this

When ever you go to the snow, take an Norwegian flag😅.

Can someone discuss if this was ever winnable for the French ? Purely counter factual , but there were big flow on impacts from this crushing defeat from their point of view.

around 2012, british and norwegain marines did allmost same trip on Greenland and they gave same gear as in 1912. They copied diet and transportations, and medics checked teams allmost every day. Instead of killing dogs, they removed dogs and gave them some other meat. This testing showed that british troops lose so much weight, so they had to stop . Norwegians in other hand, they gain weight and manage to do this trip. Main difference was, norwegian had high calorie diet like chocolate and fat, while british troop had low calorie food like biscuit.

Cool video

3:45 weren't the allied commanders smart enough to think, the weak French southern flank was just a trick? There's no way a smart commander like Napoleon would leave one of his flanks weak unless he was playing them?

i like the format

Speak.

Wow the British fukin stole two thirds of the enemy ships💀💀💀

Good vid

Thank you, great video, exactly what i was looking for !

Lots of books on the subject, couple of notable I’ve read were Ranulph Fiennes take on Scott’s journey and by the youngest member of Scott’s team Apsley Cherry Garrard wrote the worst journey in the world, reckoned to be the best account describing Antarctic exploration and his account of searching and finding Scott’s tent the following spring.

It seems that, with the exception of Dresden, victory went in every case to the side with the most troops. Could you do a video on Dresden to explain how Napoleon overturned the coalition’s advantage in numbers?

Good stuff. Thank you

The air is compressed. That's how it works. Ur welcome

Love the narrations much better than with music and printed words. Excellently done!

I love the short overview of battles I've heard of but are never explored

Glad you went back to narrating, don't let the haters get to you

Hindenburg, Ludendorff & Trains.

Really loved the video, very informative and easy to follow!
