Giuseppe Garibaldi: One of the Greatest Generals of Modern Times

- General Garibaldi cut a distinctive figure amongst the protagonists of that epic novel that is European history of the XIX century, when Nations were forged in iron, blood, but also in gold and deception. With his enviable beard, his Tuscan cigars, Argentine ponchos, his trusty saber and six-shooter, Garibaldi had become one of the most popular men in the World. So much so that his men accepted his autographed photos as a salary!

*gets beamed on the side of the head with a rock after delivering a speech*
“Good news men! It would appear the enemy is out of ammunition!”
Wow! I bump my head on a rafter and I can’t think straight for a few minutes...this guy gets nailed with a rock and thinks...wasn’t a bullet...they must be out of bullets! And he wins!
In Italy there are countless towns that bear plaques on the houses, commemorating where Garibaldi had spent a night on his marches for unification. For those who live in New York, in Staten Island there is the Garibaldi-Mazzini museum, hosted in the house they shared when they were making candles to make ends meet for a year. What a crazy life story for a timeless hero.
Wait!!! Garibaldi was a candle maker?!?!
You mean the Garibaldi-Meucci museum
@@alessandrodelrio1272 I lived on Staten Island as a child and that brings back memories of visiting as a kid.
My college history teacher used 2 say. This guy needed a movie.
Speed Racer if he had been American or English he would be well known and have dozens of movies made about him.
@shahla1123 there are like how many movies about Lincoln, and I don't think he's a Jew.
shahla1123 - Are you? Mazel tov!
There a movie called "the panterra" or some such.
And one called "Viva l'italia!", "Anita e Garibaldi",
A small fact to complete this beautiful video: the Battle of Solferino (10:45) was so bloody that a Swiss humanitarian, Henry Dunant, founded the Red Cross (which later led to the Geneva Convention) by organizing the medical aids for the wounded in the nearby towns.
Alberto Amato Cool! Explains the Red Cross using the Swiss flag! Never knew that!
Garibaldi is very famous here in Brazil too, he have a city in his name and a holiday to Farroupilha Revolution. And Anita has a beautiful story too.
beautiful but sad
In Rio Grande do Sul there is a city named after Garibaldi, and he is know as "the hero of two worlds" ("herói de dois mundos"). Indeed, he was responsible for the taking of Laguna and many other important achievements in the Ragamuffin War.
I used to live in a street named Garibaldi
Even in Italy Garibaldi is known as the "eroe dei due mondi".
@@Clipgatherer
We have a native fish species where I currently live that’s called the Garibaldi, because it looks like it’s wearing a red shirt... Also, I grew up next to Caprera as a kid, where Garibaldi lived and is buried, and the primary school I went to was previously a military complex inaugurated in his honor.
There is a biscuit named after him in U.K. He is remembered at tea time, a very high and frequent honour.
Sadly historical revisionism is getting everyday stronger, but there is still someone who remembers the hero of the two worlds 🇮🇹
He and his wife are held in high regard here on Brazil, especially amoung the gauchos!
@@efxnews4776 his wife was brazilian
@@giuseppeferri3817 don't you think i know that? Of course i know, she is one of the most well know history figures in Brazil, again, especially among gauchos (wich i am one)!
@@efxnews4776 so she is likely to be more famous in Brazil among you gauchos than here in Italy. Not everybody know this in Italy
@@giuseppeferri3817 she isn't famous just because she was marriage with Giuseppe tough, she also fight in the ragamuffin war alongside him, Anita was a heroin of the revolution.
In the war between Argentina and Brasil, he served as head of a mercenary legion on the brasilian side In one time, one of our admirals, Guillermo Brown, cornered him and let him escape saying that "He was a brave man". Garibaldi named one of his daughters "Guillermina" in honor of Admiral Brown.
He never served in a "mercenary" legion and he fought against Brasil
Everybody gangsta till Garibaldi withdraws his saber
69 likes, nice.
Gentleman Driver 96 now.
Draws his sabre
Steven Webb It should be draw but either spelling of saber is correct in Americanized English.
draws not withdraws
Garibaldi also vocally supported the Polish cause, especially during the January Uprising (1863-1864) against Russian Empire. One of his close subordinates Francesco Nullo led a small group of Italian volunteers known as "Garibaldi Legion" to fight in the Uprising. Garibaldi's son, Menotti was involved in organizing this and even planned to follow Nullo with more Italian volunteers and Polish émigrés, but nothing came out of these plans. Nullo was killed in the battle of Krzykawka on the 5th of May 1863.
Both the National Anthems of Italy (Inno di Mameli) and Poland (Mazurek Dabrowskiego), call each other in their strophes! A single case in the world! There was a legacy, between the patriotic movements, in that ages really strong (both were under Austria domination).
Exactly, another one to add to the multiple South American causes, the French Republic cause, the United States cause and of course the Italian cause.
@@ErCometaCoach69 Exactly, another huge historical facts always great to remember.
@@dusk6159 funny isn't? Garibaldi is the closest we get from a real life Superman, yet very people know about him in US, and because of this it isn't all that well known in the world.
Here in the south of Brazil he's a legend for the Gaucho people. Hope you'be touched the matter in the video
Please note how the italians made gaucho fashion mainstream, firs Garibaldi proudly wearing a poncho, and later Sergio Leone putting one on Clint Eastwood! 😊
@@arx3516 i never realized that! BOY that is fucking amazing! My own people!
Garibaldi is a legendary revolutionary in Rio Grande do Sul, second only (or even almost on the same level) as Bento Gonçalves, the leader of the rebel movement. I had hoped you'd have talked more about his time here.
Garibaldi is obviously the original "most interesting man in the world".
Kind of looks like that bearded guy in the commercial too.
He has sold more Dos Equis than Pablo Escobar has sold coke.
"I don't always unify Italy. But when I do, I leave out San Marino. Stay Italian my friends."
No doubt about that
It start is career fightig in Brazil tough, more precisly in my OWN state in the Raggamuffin war (the biggest civil war Brazil ever had).
He is a damn fucking hero here and also marriege is wife in Brazil, her name is Anita Garibaldi... she also is a heroin in my country, and is know as Heroin of two worlds.
What a remarkable man! I have heard his name spoke with near-reverence all my life, and not only by Italians; now I understand why.This channel puts information Iike this, that fills in the gaps in my knowledge of history. I consider myself reasonably well- educated. . .but I frequently find gems like this with delight here.
Garibaldi is the closest we het from a real life Superman.
Simon: Hit that thumbs up button down below. Garibaldi : OBBEDISCO.
Kind of an ironic story. I had two cousins, on my grandmother's side ( Cucchi) that were in the " 1000". Some years ago, I worked in a factory in Missouri. I became friends with a guy named Garibaldi. His great great great....... was Giuseppe! So 150 years later, two Italians with a connection older than we were and half way around the world. I thought that was pretty cool.
By the way, history is history, regardless of how the modern snowflake wants to spin it. This was a great man and a hero to ALL Italians!
Garibaldi is a national hero in Brazil eventhough he is italian, there are cities named Garibaldi and of course the love of his life was a brazilian from south named Anita Garibaldi, we have museuns about them and despite he is being a foreingner he was a great man, lagier than life, a true hero... and I am proud of his history...
For decades young soldiers in the south of Italy would have the words "W Garibaldi" etched on the blade of their saber. My great grandfather did too

Yes! Garibaldi's story is incredible, his character played a proeminent role in one of the many soap operas that are broadcasted here, many years ago.
Aptly so, considering he was (or influenced, or had his family do the presence, aside his comrades already) basically everywhere lol
That too very well apt with the time, considering that the 19th centruy was filled, to say the least, of the usual world situations but with the difference that by that century the stirring and the people and countries were all aware and active enough to get them sparked (either fixed or not), unlike the previous centuries.
That Cavour character seems to be real mastermind behind Italy's independence.
Cavour was Italy's Bismarck. Two very clever men who helped unify their nations.
@@stanleyrogouski well, you can't have everything.
@@stanleyrogouski You should be thankful. You could be living in Merkel's Germanistan instead.
@@stanleyrogouski only not for the poor who get nothing even if they work.
@@stanleyrogouski Eh, I live in the US and things could be worse, we still have most of our freedoms even if Americas economic reforms have favored the rich. And remember, We had the 1920 super rich favoured capitalism right before we had the New Deal, I just hope we don't need a depression to get us their. But if the rich want to go to one extreme, they must realize that the poor will just elect a liberal from the other side
By the way, about Alexander Duma, the story tells that he came to Sicily on his personal yacht and gave bottles of champagne and joined Garibaldi’s army.
Garibaldi INVENTED "red shirts" and fought against a man named "Picard". How many Star Trek references is this man going to make? ;)
Dont you mean how many garibaldi refrences star trek is going to make.
makes ya wonder how babylon V and trek were not so original
red shirts had poor survival chances. but there were ennough fools on the way to believe the promesse made by the masonry they were willingly enlisting to fight for
hahaha so true,but the real name is Gariboldi
Baldy.. 🙄
I live close to the home of Antonio Meucci, the true inventor of the telephone, where Garibaldi lived during his time on Staten Island, NY. Today it is the Garibaldi-Meucci Museum.
He was the only Italian officer receiving the saber of a Prussian officer as an act of surrender, during the Franco-Prussian war! It should be on the Guinness!
If the world ever had a hero, his name was Giuseppe Garibaldi
AJ Taylor said that Garabaldi was the "Only wholly admirable figure in history" and I have to agree.
Antonio Meucci isn't the arguable inventor of the telephone, he IS the inventor of the telephone. His advanced age, poor health, and even poor English language skills meant that he couldn't apply for a patent, so Alexander Graham Bell stole the plans and patented it himself.
Exactly
True. It was all a matter of who patented the device first. Bell was the winner.
Did he say Guiseppe with a hard G? OMG, I almost fell off my bed.
Revissionist theories to the contrary I remember a historian who stated the all major historical figures were disappointing when you gave them a closer look, except for Garibaldi.
That was AJP Taylor.
Well, he had his lacks, like everyone....
The only person who never disappointed is Jesus Christ. The rest of us will always fall short.
@@noelgeorgette3150 But Jesus was not a mortal man in the normal sense,
One funny fact about the war in Brazil: they once moved 2 ships across the land using cattle and logs to cross from a river to the sea
The Vikings did the same.
To understand the popularity of Garibaldi among the lower classes (not that he wasn't popular among the elites) it has to be remembered that, in his age, there had been the transition between the "old way" to make military career (that consisted in buying the ranks. IE The Duke of Wellington was a staunch advocate of that practice) and the "new way" (to be formed in a military academy, that were however rather "new" institutions, whose teachings were often not that useful). Both ways were practically reserved to the upper classes. A sailor that became a certified sea-captain, a teacher (several times, when he didn't fought or sail, he earned a living by teaching math), and a general that could beat the "professionals" was bound to became a popular hero, even more if he was honest and brave too.
Great video and I would add to those achievements the fact that Garibaldi was one of the last few true national heroes. What I mean by that is that with time we exchanged our values and virtues by quick and empty promises of economical growth and wealth and ended up betraying everything that we , as humans, regarded sacred. Heroes being one of them. Garibaldi was and, in my opinion still is, an important figure that every italian should aspire to be. We desperately NEED these kind of role models in our society again but instead what our younger generations learn to admire are dumb celebrities and empty promises of success all while hating on their own nation culture and history.
Don't forget that you're entire system is flawed corrupt and fraudulent from top to bottom. Your politicians are useless liars and do nothing. Your "justice" system is a inhumane monstruous atrocity. And your country is plagued by rich capitalists enjoying la bella vita whilst most italians recieve the worst income 1/3 compared to the rest of europe yet having to pay for practically the same prices regarding most things. Many if not most are left poor snd close to starving. Hence there is widespread crime because accepting the system is the actual crime. If garibaldi saw what italy is today he would have refused to fight a single battle. At least he doesn't know. Only once the italian people unite to take things into their own hands may there be room for change. Otherwise nothing changes.
You mean that Italians are starving?
Garibaldi was so beloved by his men that many made their way to the US around 1861 and formed the 39th New York regiment, nicknamed the Garibaldi Guard in honor of their former leader.
I have to tell you, there are some information that are impressive, many that usually are forgot. Your research i meticulous and full of correct insights. As an Italian and a passionate lover of history I’m truly impressed. And the one on Amedeo Guillet is fantastic. Keep up the good work and let’s bring some quality stuff on CZcams.
This dude was sick. Unified Italy under one government with just a sword and a small army of volunteers
People say he unified all of Italy but he didn't get little San Marino
Funnily enough, I think they only stayed independent because of Garibaldi's good faith.
San Marino helped Italy in battles so much that the Italians decided to leave them alone.
@Paul Calixte missing a spot is a big deal, especially if it is a G-spot 😊 .
Very true!
He didn't get the city of Nice aswell...
So, I remember in my History of Europe from 1820-1914 class, we talked about The Springtime of Nations and how it like every nation was uniting or declaring independence, and honestly my professor talked more about Cavour than Garibaldi. She mentioned Garibaldi, not as a hero trying to unite Italy but as a rebel of Two Siclies who was supported by Piedmont. Honestly, she did not do the man justice. He was a bad ass and needs a damn movie about him.
Thank for sharing this!!!! As an Italian native and studying this part of Italy by a very bigoted and boring teacher I never understood fully understood the legend of Garibaldi and the story of Cavour etc...
Garibaldi was a great man, his autobiography is crazy, I wish I spoke Italian so I could read the original text. I think he's remembered so fondly by so many because he championed freedom so relentlessly.
@@dexocube wasn't Garibaldi the guy who almost went to war against France because he wanted to invade Rome? And thereby almost destroying the cause of Italian unification and probably almost made Italy a French puppet? And that Cavour was only able to convince him that now is not the time to attack Rome?
And, as Alexei Sayle says on an episode of the 'Young Ones', its interesting how revolutionaries gave their names to biscuits:
"You've got your Garibaldi, your Bourbon, and of course, there's your Peek Frean's Trotsky assortment..."
"Revolutionary biscuits of Italy, rise up out of your box! You have nothing to lose but your wafers! Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum."
Classic
To this day, I'm still waiting for a Sabaton song about Garibaldi.
I can't tell you how happy I am thst you covered this topic! Italy's history is often overlooked and it's difficult to find someone with the will to investigate such a rich and complex country. Keep up the good work!
The Red Ale ”Italys history is often overlooked” read that again and think a little
@@adamberthold5941 what do you mean by that? It's true. Past the renaissance, not a lot is said about italy, even though its history continues to be incredibly interesting
The only thing i mean is that italys history probably is the most well coverd in world history. After the renaicence they join us other countries in being covered to a normal extent, but is Hardly overlooked or forgotten. Im
From scandinavia, we are at large timeperiods forgotten
@@adamberthold5941 Well, you know, it only depends on your perspective i guess. I am Italian, and I'm often struck by how little is known about some events and figures regarding my country; Garibaldi is the perfect example of this: how many videos are dedicated to the unification of Italy and its consequences compared to, like, Otto von Bismarck and the German unification?
Having said that, I'm happy to hear another person's point of view. It is true, not many know a lot about Scandinavia (apart from the Vikings and maybe the Winter War) and that's totally a shame.
@@adamberthold5941 As to the "most well covered history", i wouldn't say that italian history takes the price, really.
I think English, German, French and maybe even Japanese history are all more likely candidates.
For a man who didn't care much for school, your videos continue to inspire and inform. Thank you for your work.
I'm proud to say that one of my ancestors was a red shirt and fought the 2nd and 3rd independence war
He's certainly lived the life. A western film needs making to honour his legacy.
“I thought I married a countess, not a WHORE”
CLASSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, what a great point of view. How dare a woman seek the same things men do.
@Paul Calixte spoken like a man who doesn't know much about history or relationships. I've known men in my own life who raised other men's kids. And we have no idea what this situation really was, not in a detailed way so really I'm just saying, don't be a douchey guy that trashes women without thought.
nicholas schoonbeck bruh
@@nicholasschoonbeck6866 Hiding pregnacy was a bit far-fetched.
Classical hypocrite
Thank you! You have really very good explained this part of the Italian history and Garibaldi epic life. At the minute 2.38 you talk about “Carbonari” (charcoals). They were called this way, because they used to meet in secret in the coal warehouse, or coal sellers shops in the towns, away from the Austrian Police ears! Our patriots, i Carbonari, met usually late in the night to talk about sabotage plans against the Austrian. But of course, they get hungry...and so they fixed a very good pasta with the things they had (pasta, eggs, pancetta, olive oil and parmigiano)! This is still called “Pasta Carbonara”, and when you came to Italy don’t miss it! It’s our “patriotic” pasta dish.
Very well researched and condensed. I'm happy that a possible dark side was mentioned. Modern historians often agree on the fact that Garibaldi was somewhat naive when it came to political schemes. He was a revolutionary for the revolution's sake, in this aspect quite similar to Ernesto Guevara
He was influenced by Saint-Simonianism socialism since his youth and was an advocate of the necessity to fight for good causes, that he identified with emancipation (from foreign powers, the church, slavery, patriarchy...) , republicanism, self-determination and internationalism. However, and for that he was despised by Karl Marx, he was not a revolutionary, arguing that the first victims of revolutions were the lower classes and that much more could be obtained with social reformism.
@@neutronalchemist3241 He was a socialist but despised communists. He wanted spcial reform but take from others just for the sake of it seemed wrong to him
He had not an high education but he was by no means stupid
@@NoName-hg6cc For the time, he was quite educated. Not in classical studies, but more than the average infantry officer that came out of the military academies of the time (the first ones had just been estabilished), not to say the ones that simply bought their rank (a practice the Duke of Wellington was a big advocate of). He knew at least five languages (Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese, English. Some source report he knew German too). He had a sea Captain's patent, and, during his years in South America, when he wasn't fighting or trading, he earned his living by teaching maths.
@@neutronalchemist3241 I don't think he knew English, not for what I read, but French, Spanish and maybe Portuguese yes
You are right, he was educated, but I think his education wouldn't go as far as a high school, but only because he started working young, and he was not stupid, as I said, just didn't have high class ( high bourgeois or noble) education but he had less scruples to say what he think and was less hypocrite
Muchas gracias Garibaldi por haber luchado en Uruguay !!!
Sometimes a saber just has to be unsheathed. 😂
Just what I said to a very good looking lady once... before she called the cops on me... :(
I always sheath my saber. I prefer safe sabering to the undesirable consequences of untimely prolonged penetration.
A bonus fact. The Garabaldi fish, known for its bright orange color and ferocity when protecting its territory and young was named in honor of the General.
Could we have a video on Dom Pedro II, the last emperor of Brazil?
That would be awesome
Funny, when Garibaldi foght in the ragamuffin war, Dom Pedro was still an infant and unable to go to the throne.
The two most beloved historical figures as far as I know 😇
Giuseppe Garibaldi era un eroe nel vero senso della parola
Yes ! I've been asking for this. Thanks Biographics.
I am glad you have been! : D
Neapolitans: YOU ARE SURROUNDED
Garibaldi: All I am surrounded by is fear, and dead men *pulls out saber*
the "Giu" part of Giuseppe in Italian is pronounced just like "jew", not "goo"
Dude, you would be hard-pressed to find a video on this channel, where he pronounces ANY name correctly (the episode on Oliver Cromwell might be the big exception....). But as far as that Gary Baldi guy goes...
If I’m not wrong “Giuseppe” is just the Italian version of “Joseph”
@@fahoodie1852 Yes, my uncle's name was Giuseppe but everybody called him Joe.
Thank you very much. I'm from Italy, and i'm really proud of my country and of my national hero!
Ye we all love Garibaldi, but how smart was Cavour?
I swear the Italian peninsula hasn't seen a politician so skilled and pragmatic since he died.
(No butthurt comments please, I'm Italian :))) )
It's even more amazing if you notice how young he was. He became minister at 39, premier at 41, and died at 50. All he did, he did it in 9 years.
Metternich himself recognized that
He could spare Nice from the agreement he made with Napoleon III, that himself first betrayed making an armistice with the Austrian without asking the opinion of Cavour and King! Half respect, half agreement! He could only give the Savoia region! Nice was important, not only because Garibaldi was born there!
I don't know how you bring these story's to the four front so well...My hat is off to sir...Well said...Well done....As always....Thanks as always...!
Er..."forefront"?
When I get home from school and like 20 channels that I follow have all published videos
The fact that you (a student) are excited to watch historical videos after school makes my ( a teacher) heart grow ten sizes this day.
I live in Rio Grande do Sul, and my house is just two blocks away from a Garibaldi Square. People around here are crazy about the romantic version of the "Ragged Revolution" in wich Giuseppe fought.
"He was buried by his farm"? BTW Nizza's appropriation by France explains why if you look around parts of Nice today you'd swear you were in Italy going by the ochre colours of the buildings and architecture.
Thank you, Simon, for this Phenomenal story of Italian & world history. What a most inspiring Man !!!
Great video! Thank you from Italy!
Of course, Cavour deserves his own video!
In one of the great "what if?"s in hisory, Garabaldi had two conditions on accepting a commision with Lincoln. That Lincoln acctually free the slaves as Garabaldi would only fight for men's freedom. And that Lincoln made him the overall commander of the Union forces. Garabaldi was a greater general than Lee or any of the Confederate commanders so its hard to believe the war would have lasted 5 years with him in charge.
Definitely a role model. One of the most genuine statesmen I know.
Covour now tours as the lead singer of Smashmouth.
What a fall from grace....
Politic is exhausting!
The effort you put into pronuncing Italian names is commendable. I'm sure you'll get one right sooner than later (Just a joke, I love your videos and the work you put into them)
The writer on this video, Arnaldo, is Italian, and he included phonetic guides :)
@@Biographics and still... :-p
P.S.
Daje Arna'!
@@Biographics Did he suggest pronouncing Giuseppe with a hard G?
@@DerekDominoes yes, he is a great wit.
Biographics they’re still 95% wrong. Great video tho!
So fascinating. Teodorani's script and, of course, Simon's marvelous narrative voice really brought this tumultuous period brought to life for me.
He was so popular in Brazil, there is even a city in Rio Grande do Sul called "Garibaldi"
In Australia, yes that great southern continent, he tries his hand seeking gold. He, there involved himself in local politics and soon went home. True story.
I'd really like to see a biography about Cavour, the real mastermind behind Italy's unification.
There is Piazza Garibaldi (Garibaldi Square) in Mexico City named after Garibaldi’s grandson, Giuseppe Garibaldi lll who was a Lt Colonel serving under Pancho Villa.
Garibaldi fu ferito,
Fu ferito in una gamba,
Garibaldi che comanda,
Che comanda il battaglion.
For those who do not know Cavour spoke either French or the Piedmontese dialect. He knew the Italian language but little; there are letters written by his hand in Italian full of spelling errors. This is to give an idea of how different and heterogeneous Italy was in those times where the illiteracy rate exceeded 80% of the population. Imagine what a mess it was to put all this together.
Source? I bet it's Bocca(LOL)
It's said that his French was better than his Italian and he did speak Piedmontese and tended to lapse into it during talks in Parliament.
Also note that Italian was just being standardized at this point and there were many spelling conventions.
If that’s Garibaldi, I can’t even imagine what Garihairy would look like…
Thanks a lot for this, having lived in Milan for some years now, I find this a nice summary!
after seen all the battle he did to regain rome for italy, for a while i was thinking that garibaldi was reincarnation of belisarius lol.
Garibaldi deserves much more recognition.
You deserve so many more subscribers, I’ve been subscribed since the beginning!
Thank you. Growing every day :)
Wish you many more!
What a man, what a band too
Do a video about Dante Alighieri!
When he came to the Tyne river, hiding etc he was welcomed with galas and was the talk of the town. The local miners union raised money for the cause & gifted him a sword he then used going forward. Such a fascinating man & his visit with his to Newcastle is one our great local legends
4:48 so thats where "catenaccio" in football comes from. Fascinating stuff.
Word
Churchill did say that we treat football games like war
May I make some recommendations for further biographies: - Marquis de Sade, Clement Atlee, Henry Dunant, Mguel de Cervantes, Henrik Ibsen, Queen Christina of Sweden, Atilla the Hun
And Joanna The Mad, she was quite the character
YES! YES YES YES YES YES! I cannot tell you how excited I was when I saw they had this video up!
My great great great grandfather was a monk member of Garibaldis thousand and a good friend of his, he was later excomunicated by the pope for his involvement
Well, that makes sense, especially when Garibaldi had plans to invade Rome.
The fact that he had children surely didn't help!
It would have been magnificent if her had joined the Union Army!
Can you do Michiel The Ruyter? Hero of the Dutch and one of the most respective Admirals of the 17th century.
Michiel is een fucking baas
Garibaldi and Picard history has a sense of humor how many science fiction references can history give us LOL
Napoleon iii getting played by German and Italian politicians. Who else?
?
he got nice and savoy at least
Take Nice and Savoy
Can you do a video about Subutai one of the greatest generals ever?
Yes, please.
HuesingProductions I will help if sources are needed. While Jebe invented the earliest Blitzkriege Subotai perfected it.
@@kknives36 feigned retreat as the mongols used it is totally different from the concept of blitzkrieg
Valentin Loew nah Jebe literally used Cavalry attacking from flanks with a volley of arrows before a feigned retreat. That’s a primitive form of Blitzkriege friendo.
@@kknives36 yeah but the idea of retreat is entirely absent from the idea of blitzkrieg... that's my point. When the germans slashed through the soviet union for example, they used mostly pincer movement to encircle large soviet formation. They didn't bait the soviets to go after them . The definition of blitzkrieg is the following "Blitzkrieg is a method of warfare whereby an attacking force, spearheaded by a dense concentration of armoured and motorised or mechanised infantry formations with close air support, breaks through the opponent's line of defence by short, fast, powerful attacks and then dislocates the defenders, using speed and surprise to encircle them with the help of air superiority." Air support and armor is at the very essence of blitzkrieg and they we were no planes or tanks at the time of jebe^^ The cavalry charges who fired a volley of arrows from the flanks were a bait- the enemy would follow, break formation and be picked off in small groups, its a completely different tactical concept. In a blitzkrieg attack the flanking move its what allows you to encircle and then destroy the enemy, in a way its not as subtle as what mongols generals were doing at the time where they could let an enemy army pursue them for 10 days.....
His home at Montevideo, Uruguay were he lived several years with Anita is a museum. Although it was very modest, it had "and has" one of the very few wells in the citadel. There he earned his life teaching mathematics, when he wasn't fighting.
A good subject for a video is the life of Dom Pedro II of Brazil.
Pls do King Charles of Sweden. One of the big players in the Great north war. Very underrated war in its importance for all of northern europe

Always a pleasure to watch these videos. Thank you so much 🥰🥰
Love you, my man. I was searching Garibaldi on your channel today.
Waiting for Mazzini as well
Please do Carl Gustaf Emil Mannerheim, man who led Finland through ww2, or Risto Ryti who was president from 1940 to 1944. He took all the blame for allying Finland with Germany so others wouldnt have to face the consequences.
im going to keep posting this until you do it :)
nieet molotov nieet molotov
I will keep supporting you until they do one for Mannerheim
in 1862 he was stopped in aspromonte by the italians national guards and from that event was born the most famous song in all of italy... "GARIBALDI FU FERITO"
The sheer amount of content you guys pump out is quite amazing. Would you please let me catch up!!
Currently reading Umberto Eco's excellent novel 'The Prague Cemetery' in which Garibaldi's exploits play a significant part. This is good for background research.
