- The History of Warfare, Blood and Steel, throughout the ages there have been so many wars and battles, this historic series takes us through some of the major events that changed whole countries, whole continents. Many lives lost through loyalty and a desire to serve ones country. Fought over land, on the sea and in the air, the tales of bravery and heroism are written into our very existence.
After much political manouevering at home, the American Expeditionary Force finally joined its European Allies on the Western Front in the spring 1918. Commanded by the popular General Pershing, the AEF played an important role in the desperate battles for final victory, particularly at Belleau Wood in June 1918. This is the story of the Dough Boys’ war....

The sound's of what's supposed to be music is drowning out the narrator, I'm a 76 year old veteran and hearing isn't very good
im 35 n that 💩 they say is music is to disruptive to the documentary, perhaps they could re-upload after 1 minor change that music removed
I am 63, and my rock n roll hearing is not great. Agree.pull the music back so the vocal is primary in the mix. The visuals are great….make the audio ENHANCE the presentation instead of truly sincerely interfering ❤😢
Yeah NO SUBTITLES TOO SMH 🧐🧐
Well said..drop the music
Drop music levels. 💯 I'm 47 and can't hear voice like I would like for certain
"OME ON YOU S.O.B's,DO YOU WANNA LIVE FOREVER?!"
Sgt. Dan Daily, God bless that MARINE!!!
I absolutely love these uploads. Thank you in advance for this one. I been more and more going back to know the warfare going on before and during WW1.
32 minutes in and only now are they FINALLY beginning to describe Bellow Wood!
I've always wondered if the lack of America's military in experience was exaggerated. People are quick to bring up Pancho Villa and other excursions by groups of Mexican revolutionaries (AKA, bandits) but the Spanish American war was less than 20 years before. The conflict in the Philippines 15 years before but a military issue much longer. The US navy and Marines was projecting power on Chinese rivers. The last recorded US Apache attack was 1924 6 years after ww1. That's a lot of potential activity for soldiers
Interesting, but were enough soldiers involved in comparison to WW1?
The American Civil War ended the way WWI was fought. Trenches.
There's a LARGE difference in small unit and guerrilla fighting experience, and large unit warfare. Entering WW1, US troops were very inexperienced in fighting peers and at that scale. Didn't take long to figure it out though
@@mikebrase5161ummm,,,, what!!??? The only similarities to the American civil war and WWI is that a shitload of artillery was used, but that was common back then before big bombs and planes showed up on the battlefield. Other than that the civil war in America isn’t anything like WWI Jesus Christ where do you people learn history??? Or what type of or lack of research do you perform?? Civil war was not fought in trenches 😂😂😂😂😂 it was cavalry charges, artillery batteries knocking out the enemy entrenchment if any and even just the enemy itself with point blank aiming, it was fought man on man with field charges 😂😂😂 bayonet charges, the battle at Gettysburg alone proves you all wrong, Sherman’s charge on Georgia, Harper’s ferry, the American civil war was a war of movement by foot, horseback and railhead which for you civilians means by train so again I’m not sure who’s history your researching but it ain’t the American civil war and WWI 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@marc2638 so check this out Meat, Vicksburg, Petersburg Charleston were all fought the way WWI was fought trenches of Infantry staring at each other with obstacles in-between. Balloons being used for observation, telegraphs issuing out orders and railways to move Corps sized elements from point A to Point B. You wrote a whole lot and said so little of consequence, I suggest you try reading books the original search engine.
I'm so glad to see the channel posting again. Cheers from Tennessee
Knoxville
Chattanooga
Remember seeing this on the channel, but was removed. Now, it's back.
You forgot the most important part of the battle. 1st sgt Dan Daly turning to his Marines and saying " Come on you sons of bitches! Do you wanna live forever!?" 😊
They also left out the Germans naming the Marines "Devil Dogs".
I remember reading about the revolutions or civil wars or whatever term is proper in south America from the 1960s till 1990s. I read in one country, Colombia or el Salvador, the government troops would kill any rebel surrendering without ammunition. So the rebels started issuing the troops 1 more magazine of ammunition to keep in their back pocket and never use so they could always have ammunition left to surrender. That's what the German machine gunners remind me of
Come on you sons of bitches, you want to live forever!?! OohRah 💪💪
You motivate me 😮
I've often pondered what a quick amphibious strike on the Belgian coast by the AEF could have done... even if it didn't achieve a breakout I doubt the Germans could have dealt with another front in the west, even a small foothold in the Germans rear in Belgium wouldnhave been devastating, I am sure it wouldnhabe been a shock to them.
Keep up the good work very insightful greetings from California
I have an entirety different, less than admirable, opinion of General Pershing since watching this video. The disdain he held for the Marines was unwarranted.
General Pershing was a marine himself!!!
I stand corrected he was NOT A MARINE GENERAL, sorry about that!!!
20 years ago I was with the 2nd ID in Korea, every day twice a day We sang the "Warrior March"
We're born in France in '17,
In the Hell of the First World War.
With Infantry and Proud Marine,
We Bravely Fought Amidst the Cannons Roar.
The Warriors went Across the Meuse and River Marne,
Our Names and Our Fame Were Won.
We marched Home Proudly with Flags Held on High,
And They Called Us, "SECOND TO NONE"
Today Along the DMZ,
Ever Watchful the Warriors Stage.
To Guard the Rights of Liberty,
Bravely Writing History's Newest Page.
Forward Together with Korea Sure and Bold,
We Fear Not the Enemy's Gun.
We Hold our Ground,
Our Confidence Sound,
For You Know We're "SECOND TO NONE"
Yet another thing on Belleau Wood that curiously didn't mention Dan Daly. Pitiful, as it was he that kickstarted the action that broke the static situation and inspired all the Marines to start seriously kicking ass and taking names and earning the "Teufelhunde" moniker.
This is where Desmond Doss's father had fought
Really?? I forgot that he mentioned that in the movie. So sad, but God bless those heroes.. America still hadn’t gotten over the emotional or mental pain of the Civil War and everything that happened and then we just didn’t want to get into foreign conflicts in to stay out of them because our first President of the United States said so. George Washington was right! I don’t regret the United States eventually getting into World War I or World War II, or even Korea, but every other war since then has been absolute nonsense, and after Osama bin Laden & most of Al-Qaeda, or the majority of them were destroyed. we should’ve come back home- not nation build over in Afghanistan, but pull out in a way in which we can still monitor and make sure they didn’t go in and slaughter the people again like they did again- the Taliban! Trump wanted to pull out of there and McKenzie told him they need to keep at least 2500 people there for the base so Trump pulled out 14,000 during his term and then Joe Biden just went and pulled all of them out. We were supposed to be pulled out September 1 and then we found out on Friday the 13th and August. He pulled him out six weeks before.! WTH?? what a mess.,
I think every single one of our soldiers are so brave, and God bless them all !
World war one destroyed, and took the lives of a third of the Europe’s young populated men between the ages of 17 and 30 or 33 years old . There was an entire generation of men and 1/3 of them were wiped out.. SAD!! What I didn’t know. It was prior to that for about 20 years that Germany had a baby boom and country growth rate of 1 million people a year!! They wanted to be an empire like Spain, Britain, and France, and during the industrial age it was just a terrible way to fight in industrial sized war.
All war is evil, and it seems like during most wars, the civilians usually suffer the most in the other modes, but in World War II it was just a meat grinder, and these officers would get these men out of trenches and just run right in to machine gun fire and bullets.
I watched all quiet on the western front and my stomach sank & I recall seeing that German staff Sergeant shoot a private because he wouldn’t get out of the trends just because he was so afraid and that was pretty common of them to do then. Just heart wrenching.!
I can’t stand war, and I wish it never had to happen
Pershing wanted all glory. He knew the Marines had so much more real combat than all of the army.
Isn't recognition of what troops would win for you? What are you saying?
Here comes the US Marines to save the day!!!!
Lol
The initial attack formations used by the Marines were taught to them by the French and were insisted on by Harbord. The Marines never used them again.
The french teaching >>>> ? That is funny....🤡🤡🤡🤡
Yeah, Frenchman aren't great soldiers (as a whole). Like Italians.
The reason the French plant trees along the roads, I heard was so the Germans can March in the shade?
@jeffpowell6224 both French and Italian soldiers were brave and disciplined but let down by their officers amd political leaders in both WWI and WWII, bad strategy, tactics, equipment, etc. Led to bad moral and eventually bad results in combat in WWI in WWII it was almost instant for the French but 100% the fault of the leaders, the Italians in WWII lasted longer but their leaders again used them as cannon fodder with horrible tactics and equipment.
@@daveweiss5647 Well, no argument there. I guess that means, what France's poli-chickens are slow to see through the lackluster abilities of their generals. Guess maybe more field grade officers should have stepped up.
I have never understood why all combat arms in the US don't train the way delta does. It takes longer but the end result is one of the best fighters in the world
Because Delta force does specific jobs. They are a piece of the puzzle. But you need all the pieces to get the full picture. Besides, if delta force training was the only available, then our military would be reduced to only a few hundred. It’s that not an obtainable goal.
Devil-Dogs!
Dan Daly ... 2 time awardee of the CMH ... was recommended for the 4th time for his actions at Belleau Wood
Huh. . . Recommended for what a forth time?!?!
@@jeffpowell6224bud read the comment, Daly has 2 medal of honor’s was recommended for a third and then again was recommended once again for a fourth!!! Understand now????
I am a Marine Vet, old son, and know Corps history. Dan Daly won the CMH twice. He's also won the Navy Cross and the Army's Distinguished Service Cross, and France's Medaille Militaire. I find no sources stating 3rd or 4th nominations for the CMH. So I'm saying to you, show me your sources.
@@marc2638 A comment on CZcams is not a source of historical record. Cite your sources.
I’ll go look for Dan Daly’s history now.
Very good presentation, only thing the Americans arrived long before the autumn of 1918 as is mentioned around time 08:30 to 09:00. Thoroughly enjoyed the documentary!
I always wondered why the Americans didn’t train up with the Canadian Corps and the ANZAC Corps.
Not a word about how at Belleau Woods the Marines were given their nickname of Devil Dogs!
they weren't. it was us media that gave them that nickname.
WW1 German Soldiers never gave their enemies names. This is pure Marine Corp propaganda. This is where the modern day Marine Corp myth was started. The US Army would liberate Belleau Wood later on.
Nope it was the Germans who termed them "Teufelhunden"
Mythhh
@@michaellind3653false. The Hermans named them that.
The Americans were the first to see extensive trench warfare and understand massed fire power after the civil war long before WW1. The machine gun was an American invention introduced to Europe. Prior to that the Gatling gun was used in the Civil War and the Indian Wars. It is a poor assumption that the Americans had seen little combat prior to WW1. The American loses on D Day in WW2 were smaller than the Civil War battle of Antietam.
The lessons we learned in blood in 1864-65 were completely ignored by Europeans.
The war of 1812 , Spanish American war, Mexican American war don’t count?
Good video. Semper Fi.
Drop the music. It’s just distracting.
My grandfather may have been there. No living relatives left to ask. He was a farrier in the Army
32:00-40 is the actual Belleau Wood discussion.
Also, it's crazy thay Pershing didn't respect the Marines... they would have been by far the most combat experienced troops in the AEF.
Music is too loud and ruins the documentary part.
im 35 n that 💩 they say is music is to disruptive to the documentary, perhaps they could re-upload after 1 minor change that music removed
The Lusitana carried munitions for England and it was a legal target. When it was struck by torpedoes the large cargo of munitions exploded causing the ship to sink so fast causing such a large loss of lives. Germany had posted in the newspaper of the United States warning not to be passengers on the ship. It was a propaganda that caused the USA to join the war. When the technology was advanced to the point that it was possible to dive down to the debt where the ship was laying the English used the ship on the bottom as a dept charge target to practice on to cover up the evidence of the munitions carried on the Lusitaina which would show that it was a legal target. They blew the shit out of the ship and what is left of the ships debris field is full of unexploded debt charges and it is off limits for diving on.
... Belleau Wood = American Banzai Charge
Bouresches... Is to the east of Belleau Woods.
Lots of experience doing something wrong is useless.
... WWI a prime example of the working class doing the bidding of the wealthy, (Royal Cousins squabbling).
.... Research the attack on the "Bonus Army" .... Led by Douglas MacArthur.
Today, how would those German positions be attacked?
Drones, Himars, etc etc. Troops would be mopping up afterwards.
Português
The glaring problem with the narrative is that right from the beginning they are completely discounting the fact that the US had more combat experienced troops starting out than any of the other countries. Prior to entering the war. 1 out of 3 of the initial men sent to France were combat veterans from the Banana wars or other conflicts from the previous 20 years
Boxer rebellion
They were Marines. I thought doughboys referred to the Army soldiers.
Beat off the enemy ? I think you meant beat back 😂
The reason the army 2nd Infantry Division is called the Combined Division army and marines worked together on this battle. USA FOREVER
Rah
They weren’t dough boys..they were Marines.
Well without the USA in both WW1 and WW2. Europe would have been done. The US had to save the World twice thats the bottom line.
Nonsense, that's what you think. When you fight on your own you lose, Vietnam.
In WWI the Germans were for the most part already defeated and in their last gasps of strength by the time US troops arrived in any numbers to make a real impact on the war. Did we Americans make a difference in the war? Yes, but not nearly as much as we like to portray. It's my opinion that the biggest contribution we (the US) made was that when we declared war it kind of forced Germany to try and end the war before we did arrive in strength, hence the Spring offensives. In those offensives, the Germans had some initial success, then the offensives stalled and failed, in large part due to British and Commonwealth forces along with the French. The Germans had shot their bolt and had expended virtually all of their remaining strength, decimating the vast majority of their best troops. Even if the US had stayed out of the war, it would've almost certainly ended in 1919 with an allied victory.
@@user-tt1ow1ey5gwhat does Vietnam have to do with world war's one and two????
@@jackdaniel7465 just to show your not as great as you think. Yes you joined the 1st in '17 and the second in 42 only then because you perceived a threat. Yes the USA helped no end but to suggest we only won because of you is a big claim. That's all I meant by mentioning Vietnam. You fought an under funded, under armed and undersized enemy and lost.
The UK and the USA have a good relationship, it's not who's the biggest and hardest. We work well together.
@@user-tt1ow1ey5g Well just to educate you a little WE DIDN'T START WORLD WAR 1 AND WE DIDN'T START WORLD WAR TWO, so maybe just maybe you should look yourselves in the mirror, but keep one thing in mind little fella, each time you were screaming to have America get get involved.....and that's a fact, just ask Sir Winston Churchill!!
Balfore declaration. All this jawjacking is bullshit.
And CADET BONE SPURS didn't want to get his hair wet honoring these brave men.
Still trying to push that dementia ridden Dark Brandon across the finish line huh? He’s caused enough suffering, chaos, and death around the world. PLA much?
It was not US troops which held back the German Spring offensive of 1918, a major factor in German defeat was the Royal Flying Corps / Royal Airforce.
You lost two wars to the Americans ..get over it
@@westpointsnell4167 which two wars ?
The war of 1812 was a failed US attempt to conquer Canada & the Revolutionary war was a sideshow to the European wars beginning with the 7 years war & ending with the final defeat of Napoleon in 1815.
The rebellious colonies were a continual drain on resources whilst Canada & the West Indies were beneficial & the rebellion occurred because of an attempt to recoup the continual financial drain by levying taxes a fraction of the normal levels across the Atlantic.
That is the undeniable history of the matter with the proviso that it was the Spanish & French involvement which caused the loss of the colonies.
Four years of the same useless strategy and zero tactical evolution and then the Marines try it one time and say nah dude. Four months later it's over. Get a clue Mr Magoo.
You just keep telling yourself that if it helps
@@marklumley619 I suggest you read the History books, the conclusion of which is that the French (who had the largest army) had been fought to a standstill by the Central Powers, the Americans were arriving & were shoring up the French whose forces had mutinied under the strain.
If the war had continued into 1919 the American land forces would have been present in such numbers that barring military incompetence on the part of the inexperienced American forces it is unlikely that the Central Powers would have been able to resist.
Having survived the Spring Offensive the British Empire (a Maritime Power & as such still the most powerful military force on Earth) had re-organised & now exploited their new doctrine of Combined Arms Offensive using aircraft which had been developed in France & Britain & the Heavy & Medium tanks which the British had developed to push the already starving Germans back behind the Trench lines into open country where their commanders realising that the were on the edge of rout pleaded for an armistice.
As had happened in the Napoleonic Wars the Royal Navy had blockaded those parts of Europe which were hostile & by 1918 this had caused starvation in Germany & the Astro Hungarian Empire.
PS during both the American Revolutionary War & the War of 1812 the Royal Navy blockaded the Eastern Seaboard of North America to a greater or lesser degree.
So go & read the books (not something created in Hollywood).
I'll have you know that those doughboys were U.S. MARINES, Sir.
Itália won the war your liars..
I am assuming the background music 🎶 is period or a reasonable facsimile ❤
Just try and enjoy the video and stop whining.
Historically inaccurate as the war was already over. The u.s. was only there for 3-4 months. The hums had already been bled dry..
The United States was the reason you didn't lose
Bled dry was amongst the allied ranks ,the Germans were able to bring a staggering 1.5 million more men to the western front after the Russians quit the war with another 3,000 guns ..as I said :at least the allies commanders didn't think the war was all but won ,Haig even told his men that they were going to have to be stubborn with our backs against the wall ,meantime we are wait for the Americans
FULL OF LIES!!!
