@latinluigi the music from world war 2 is called big band, it is good too, also Mozart and the Beatles, you can learn history from the art and music of any era.
@ShazRetta293 these WERE the songs.....they had what was called music hall or vaudeville it lasted until the end of world war 2 and the invention of television.....radio was invented in world war one, and they did not have it for music yet....they had music hall, every one knew all the songs. people made lemonade from scratch, it is good look for a recipe and but that in your report....they had crackers most cookies made at home...people had fruit and meats.
Not to be nitpickey, but the one image you have of flat-helmeted solders alongside quonset huts is actually early WW2. They are actually wearing later issue OD clothing, the helmets were left over from WW1. The quonset hut did not come along until well after WW1 was over. This is probably the first US troosp that were shipped over to Northern Ireland for training in 1942
@pax41 Hello! Would you be able to possibly tell me where I could hear a high quality, full version of 'I may stay away a little longer'? This video has great quality but it doesn't seem to have the full song, and the only other upload is in rather poor quality.
In honor of "FRANK BUCKLES" the very last WW I Vet of all nation's who passed away this week. Please read "Farewell To A Generation" on the AP Website. That's written bluntly on WW I's horror's.........................I won't cuss "General Pershing" for Frank buckles sake at present but, he was a truly horrible person and Commanding Officer for how he treated the Black Troops in the U.S. Army. He had no problem taking credit for their accomplishment's they paid for in blood.
This is World War One not Word War Two. Leave Japan out of it they were not in this one........Pear Harbor didn't happen until l941 this War was in Europe in l914......Read your history -------------
@HarborGuy Maybe you should check your history, Japan was defintely part of World War 1. They were a global superpower at the time and the U.S. wasn't. Though in World War 1 Japan allied against Germany.
@HarborGuy Maybe you should check your history, Japan was defintely part of World War 1. They were a global superpower at the time and the U.S. wasn't. Though in World War 1 Japan allied against Germany.
greetings from serbia,we started the ww1,but we were atacked by austrian-hungarian empire and 75 procent of men from serbia died or been killed.I just want if you have your time look at "MARS NA DRINU" and then you can understand why we so hurry to die for freedom
Its really odd that most of the talk here is about WWII. World War 1 in many ways was much harder. Perhaps because killing became easier with practice. WW1 I always think of as the death of Euorpean civilization. Lord Greys words about the lights if Europe going out and we won't see them lit in our lifetime has always struck me as a correct assessment. The troop death on the front was horrendous and nothing was accoplished. God what a waste. God Bless the Troops of All Nations.
The Russians deserve a lot of respect for defeating the Germans. With that said, if the Germans had not attacked them and destroyed much of their military, the US and western allies probably would have had to since the Russians themselves were preparing to invade west. There are many German accounts of military equipment poised for an attack west, plus how did they take so many prisoners so early in the war? They were near the border and unprepared for defense.
If the germans had taken moscow and stalingrad before winter the russian advance would have looked impossible and if they were winning in north africa against the british empire USA wouldnt have wanted to get involved they would have just kept on supplying the british and russians And then made all there attensions to japan USA Knew the british were winning slowly in africa and the russians were winning in the eastern front they took there gamble and it payed off with big rewards joining brits
I only hear winter stopped them from everyone (this is total bullshit my friend),this a stupid excuse made by German generals.As you posibly know Japan attacked USSR a bit before the beggining of the war and the lost badly.From the other side US did not joined the war earlier because they were watching the Eastern Front if USSR started hopelessly losing I bet that they would had attacked some parts of Siberia themselfs.
@Russiarullez The US would not have bothered with Siberia or any other part of Russia if the Eastern Front had gone down hill more for the Russians. Most Americans wanted to stay out of the conflict before the attack on Pearl Harbor.
@Russiarullez Not only the winter war stopped the Germans. It was the Russian tactic to destroy their own villages and with this the support. They burned their own villages and killed their own Russians. Stalin wasn´t better than this "Führer"!
@Russiarullez If you mean 'only the Winter stopped the Germans' then I'm on your side, the Russians put an end to them on the Eastern front, not the snow. The defense of Moscow and Stalingrad stand to prove the unbelievable tenacity and courage of the Russians. They were so poorly equipped compared to the Germans but what they lacked in ammunition they more than made up for with pure will and brute force. They did themselves proud. To attribute their success to the Winter is an injustice.
to our dear friends the Americans . Thank you so much for your support in the 2 world wars . May our 'special relationship' last forever ----from the old mother country to our amazing daughter country the US of A . All parents should not do as well as well as their children :-)
@Russiarullez I think you better study your history more. If this is what they teach you, then it is not accurate my friend. WW1 we did join late and very likely did not change the outcome of that war too much. However, WW2 was a different story. The world as we know it today would have been much different. The Japanese already had over run most of Asia until we got fully involved. Most of Europe and North Africa were under Hitler's control. Russia was on the verge of falling.
@pax41 Well...there is a little problem with your theory.The Japanese were mostly conquering various colonies that were not that important.The real battle was in Europe in the Eastern front.You can not read any books in Russian so you are unable to see it from my part of view.I do not deny that US did not helped but their contributing was not as big as of USSR.
@Russiarullez True, a good portion of Asia were colonies at that time. However, Japan had been at war with China for years prior to the start of WW2 and controlled a large portion of that country, which was not a colony. They took advantage of the war in Europe to move on the colonies, Vietnam, Singapore, Philippines etc to expand. So it was still a large piece of Asia no matter how you look at it. The USSR was barely holding their own. US involvement caused Germany to fight a 2 front war
@Russiarullez which they could not manage. Had we not got involved in the conflict I doubt that the USSR would have survived the German assault. There were no other countries in Europe able to resist Germany since they had been mostly been defeated. Britain was unable to do it on their own and France was defeated. Germany was on the outskirts of Moscow my friend and old man winter stopped them, not the Russian army.
@pax41 pax, so wie Du schreibst, warst Du wohl auch mal während des "Kaltebn Krieges" bei der Truppe. Ich war damals begeisterter Soldat! Heute bin ich froh, daß ich keinen von "diesen" aus dem Osten erschießen mußte. Und es sollen auch alle wissen, daß ich heute mit keinem mehr den Krieg habe, den man mir einreden wollte.
Respond to this video... If Hitler had listened to his generals there may have been a very different outcome to the Eastern front and maybe the rest of the war.
@marko091289 ....Bullshit...a Serbian named Gavrilo Princip was the cause of WW1 when he gunned down Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife, Sophie. Serbians, over the years have be a pestiferous lot.
not one country won the war not the brits or the americans thebrits could not have survived without their allies including french troops and commonwealth troops when america entered the axis were allready weakened so it was a combined effort and all troops fought well it was over 90 years ago so lets stop arguing
In the second song I just noticed there is a line "Rasputin was disputin'" I assume the song writer assumed that American listeners would know who Rasputin was in 1918.
I recommend that anyone interested in what the US did in WWI find a copy of To Conquer Hell, by E L Lengel, about the Argonne Forest campaign. The Americans lost 26,000 dead in 50 days of fighting. Bloodiest single campaign we ever had.
Whilst for those involved the sacrifice is the same, whether 1 or 1000 are lost, and all are entitled to respect, it should not be forgotten that the British Army lost some 60,000 in a single day on 1 July 1916, the first day of the Battle of the Somme. It is also right to remember that these lossses included soldiers from Canada, Douth Africa, Australia, New Zealand and other parts of what is now the Commonwealth
It is amazing how Germany did it stood almost alone in to world wars against almost all of the world.(dont yell at me saying what about Italy like a said almost alone ,but remember Germany was the only real superpower on the Central Powers and the Axis nations
the umbrella of the commonwelth blurs out many nations that fought as hard as any of the main powers in the war this was indeed very unfair but it what was needed at the time
April 1917. By the time of the Armistice, a million were in Europe. If the war had gone on until 1919, the US would have the biggest army of the Allies.
Who? Canadians? You are right, we didn't do much - after all the Canadian Corps only outperformed all other armies on the Western Front in terms of combat efficiency and only earned the title Strosstruppen from the Germans. That isnt saying much.
We didnt do a thing at Ypres, the Somme, Vimy, Hill 70, Passchendaele, during the Last 100 days or at Mons.
While I in no way wish to deminish the Canadians in WW I, it was not for nothing that the Marines got the nickname "Devil Dogs" from the Germans im WW I.
Interesting Signsman87, but during the Napoleonic Wars there was a time when Britain was isolated and fought on to win. What makes you think that without USA UK and France would not have prevailed? Asumptions, assumptions. And if you are right...how disgusting. Britain fought on in 1940 after fall of France. We stared defeat in the face but we fought on. We kept faith, at massive cost to us - but we saved civilisation by not doing a deal with the devil.
1/3 of tottal Serbian population died and more then 1/2 of mans!It was the same situatinon in WW2. House on the cross road is the worst thing for small nation! I realy feel sorry for every life but take a look on German coments! They will try again! Peace uber alles!!! I`m 28 but I saw 3 wars: Bosnia,Croatia,Kosovo (Nato bombing of Serbia) in the hart of Europe in the late 20st.Peace!Greets from Belgarde,the oldest capital in Eur after Athen and Rome but burrned to the ground 40times in 1000yrs!
USA stayed out = Germans win = France demiltarized = No Hitler = No Holocaust = No Soviet takeover of Eastern Europe = No forced dislocation of Germans, Poles, etc. = 120,000+ more Americans' descendants alive today! Agree or not? :-)
USA stayed out = Germans win = France demilitarised and humiliated, Britain driven beyond exhaustion
= Rise of revanchist socialism in france, Britain and possibly a fracture in Italy. Britain was close enough to uprisings as it was in 1918.
=Combination of socialist and MItteleuropa economic blocks = major economic depression in the united states as war debts not repaid and access to foreign markets denied.
I agree with you the Yanks did not get into action until March or April of 1918. I should also point out that everyone keeps talking about the Yanks and Brits. Canada was in this fight and they were the country that the Germans feared most. In 1917 and 18 Canada was put at the head of every major offensive and took land that the Brits and French couldn't. The Germans monitored every move of the Canadians and always put their top troops wherever they were moved to! tough fighters Canada.
Yes as was the case in WW11. The reverse was true during your Civil War and the Vietnam war. One of my best high school buddies (Canadian) was a helicopter pilot in the Vietnam war. I only mentioned the Canadian involvement specifically because they tend to get grouped in with the Brits and deemed to be of minor importance in their war contribution.
Although we were not officially a country at that time and still under british rule we were known as Upper and Lower Canada. 4 Canadians obtain the rank of General and 29 won the Medal of Honour during the Civil war. It was estimated that approx 50,000 Canadians fought in this war personal I feel this may be a little high. Reasons, opposed to slavery, money paid to them for joining, adventure, and some had recently moved to the US just before war broke out. There was also some Confederate ties.
No doubt, many escaped slaves or their children came back to defeat the Confederacy. If I was an escaped slave in Canada, or I was son of one, I'd have been very eager to do so.
William Henry Metcalf won the Victoria Cross at Arras in 1918 while serving with the 16th (Canadian Scottish) Battalion. My great grandfather served with the same battalion for a short time.
It is interesting to note that Metcalf claimed to have witnessed the crucifixion of a Canadian soldier during the second battle of Ypres in 1915. This tale of crucifixion is widely dismissed as wartime propaganda but controversy still rages today.
The Yanks did not go into action until march or April of 1918 they did help to shorten the war. You keep talking about the Brits and Yanks it should be noted that the Germans in the later part of the war feared the Canadians more than any other country. The Canadians were used to spearhead every major offensive in the later stages of the war. They took objections the Brits and French were not able to take. What ever sector the Canadians were moved to the Germans put in their top troops.
good for you, all wars are stupid and ridiculous, but a lot of good music comes out of it, never heard of a 15 year old liking this, but it's impressive
lol well technically that's not true. The Austro-Hungarians started the war but the Austrian's are of the same race as the "Germans" which used to be called Prussians. So technically German people did start the war.
As for the Zimmerman note, which was the real reason that the US government joined the war, the British wanted to keep the SOURCE of the original intercept secret, and got the Americans to agree to wait for a version to be intercepted with the headings it had went sent from Washington DC to Mexico.
Why the misdirection? The original intercept was from a British tap of a German cable, and they didn't want the Germans to figure that out.
Try spending an hour on Amazon -- lots of good general histories of WW1 there. (John Keegan is v. good) The reason not much is said about US involvement in the 1914-18 war is that US forces were really only engaged in the last year -- a comparatively tiny involvement., though many brave American individuals signed on with the British and French forces much earlier.
Can anybody reccomend any decent books/documentaries on American involvement in WW1, think its seriously underdocumented, at least over here in the UK.
Loved this video! Someone remarked that it would have been nice if America had been involved earlier. I've heard others say everyone would have been better off if we'd never gotten involved at all.
Well, it was the accidental collision of the American ship Lustania with a German mine that started the whole involvement. if that never happened, the war wouldv'e been very different.
I don't believe it was a German mine that hit the Lusitania, it was a U boat. This ship sunk off the coast of Ireland and a long ways from German waters.
If I recall correctly the Luisitania was sunk by a German U-boat. Many years later it was determined the Luisitania was carrying arms to Great Britain in violation of our own neutrality pledge.
Not everyone holds to the belief that the ship was full illicit munitions. There were several million rounds of regular rounds, however these were legal and mentioned on the cargo manifest. If there was more of a dubious nature, my guess is it would have been leaked by the numerous people of Germam ancestry who worked on the loading docks. However, what were we doing violating our own neutrality pledge? Tsk, tsk, tsk ..
London was bombed in WW1 by both zeppelin airships & later by Gotha bombers this fact is not known about in the US & many people were killed including my mothers great aunt who was struck by shrapnel,you could also hear the guns in France quite clearly in southern England.The English Channel which is 26 miles long is all that separates the two countries
Even if it was only for a short time, over a year, we still contributed men's lives to the cause. Uncle Sam was used greatly in the war ads to get US men to enlist.
We were involved in the war from April of 1917 till its end in Nov. of 1918. I know it has been debated as to our contribution to winning the war but still there were over 120,000 Americans that died during this conflict. WW2 was a whole other story and took the bombing of Pearl Harbor to gets us involved 100%. It is almost certain that Germany and Japan would have won the 2nd World War without our involvement.
If the US 'wasn't really involved' then how do you explain 120,000 deaths? Yes, the Yanks came in late, but they brought supplies and morale. We also helped to demolish German uBoats who had declared unrestricted warfare on any oceanic craft, be it civilian or military. We could wonder the Brits were so hesitant to reveal the deciphering of the Zimmerman Telegraph, as that very document was one reasons for the US getting involved. Nice gratitude.
i dnt want to start arguent but your right americans were involved greatly for final 3 years sooner would of been nicer would of caused less deaths but cant complain bout whats been done. Can you just tell evey american to stop saying 'we saved your ass in world war 2' cosi canreally prove that wrong. or turn it around :)
what about the thousands of Canadians and Australians that fought on the front lines. Sure we were under the flag of the Commonwealth, but in Canada we are not British .We are Canadians
What the hell is this crap? Surely a motivational song shouldn't belittle your ally. Especially since you pretended nothing was happening for 3 years.
This is the best video i had seen about the great war.Thank you soldiers for protecting your country and your country men

I recommend that anyone interested in what the US did in WWI find a copy of To Conquer Hell, by E L Lengel, about the Argonne Forest campaign. The Americans lost 26,000 dead in 50 days of fighting. Bloodiest single campaign we ever had.

@Gydinglight12
Whilst for those involved the sacrifice is the same, whether 1 or 1000 are lost, and all are entitled to respect, it should not be forgotten that the British Army lost some 60,000 in a single day on 1 July 1916, the first day of the Battle of the Somme. It is also right to remember that these lossses included soldiers from Canada, Douth Africa, Australia, New Zealand and other parts of what is now the Commonwealth

Who? Canadians? You are right, we didn't do much - after all the Canadian Corps only outperformed all other armies on the Western Front in terms of combat efficiency and only earned the title Strosstruppen from the Germans. That isnt saying much.
We didnt do a thing at Ypres, the Somme, Vimy, Hill 70, Passchendaele, during the Last 100 days or at Mons.
Not a thing.

Interesting Signsman87, but during the Napoleonic Wars there was a time when Britain was isolated and fought on to win. What makes you think that without USA UK and France would not have prevailed? Asumptions, assumptions. And if you are right...how disgusting. Britain fought on in 1940 after fall of France. We stared defeat in the face but we fought on. We kept faith, at massive cost to us - but we saved civilisation by not doing a deal with the devil.

SIGNSMAN87 2 years ago
Very interesting thoughts to ponder.
pax41 2 years ago
USA stayed out = Germans win = France demilitarised and humiliated, Britain driven beyond exhaustion
= Rise of revanchist socialism in france, Britain and possibly a fracture in Italy. Britain was close enough to uprisings as it was in 1918.
=Combination of socialist and MItteleuropa economic blocks = major economic depression in the united states as war debts not repaid and access to foreign markets denied.
...isolationism carries its costs.

I agree with you the Yanks did not get into action until March or April of 1918. I should also point out that everyone keeps talking about the Yanks and Brits. Canada was in this fight and they were the country that the Germans feared most. In 1917 and 18 Canada was put at the head of every major offensive and took land that the Brits and French couldn't. The Germans monitored every move of the Canadians and always put their top troops wherever they were moved to! tough fighters Canada.

There were quite a few Americans that enlisted in the Canadian military prior to US involvement.
pax41 2 years ago
Yes as was the case in WW11. The reverse was true during your Civil War and the Vietnam war. One of my best high school buddies (Canadian) was a helicopter pilot in the Vietnam war. I only mentioned the Canadian involvement specifically because they tend to get grouped in with the Brits and deemed to be of minor importance in their war contribution.
686204 2 years ago
I have never grouped them with the Brits but could see why some might. Interesting about the Civil War, didn't know about that.
pax41 2 years ago
Although we were not officially a country at that time and still under british rule we were known as Upper and Lower Canada. 4 Canadians obtain the rank of General and 29 won the Medal of Honour during the Civil war. It was estimated that approx 50,000 Canadians fought in this war personal I feel this may be a little high. Reasons, opposed to slavery, money paid to them for joining, adventure, and some had recently moved to the US just before war broke out. There was also some Confederate ties.
686204 2 years ago
No doubt, many escaped slaves or their children came back to defeat the Confederacy. If I was an escaped slave in Canada, or I was son of one, I'd have been very eager to do so.

William Henry Metcalf won the Victoria Cross at Arras in 1918 while serving with the 16th (Canadian Scottish) Battalion. My great grandfather served with the same battalion for a short time.
It is interesting to note that Metcalf claimed to have witnessed the crucifixion of a Canadian soldier during the second battle of Ypres in 1915. This tale of crucifixion is widely dismissed as wartime propaganda but controversy still rages today.
Number7smokesForEver 2 years ago
The Yanks did not go into action until march or April of 1918 they did help to shorten the war. You keep talking about the Brits and Yanks it should be noted that the Germans in the later part of the war feared the Canadians more than any other country. The Canadians were used to spearhead every major offensive in the later stages of the war. They took objections the Brits and French were not able to take. What ever sector the Canadians were moved to the Germans put in their top troops.

As for the Zimmerman note, which was the real reason that the US government joined the war, the British wanted to keep the SOURCE of the original intercept secret, and got the Americans to agree to wait for a version to be intercepted with the headings it had went sent from Washington DC to Mexico.
Why the misdirection? The original intercept was from a British tap of a German cable, and they didn't want the Germans to figure that out.

Try spending an hour on Amazon -- lots of good general histories of WW1 there. (John Keegan is v. good) The reason not much is said about US involvement in the 1914-18 war is that US forces were really only engaged in the last year -- a comparatively tiny involvement., though many brave American individuals signed on with the British and French forces much earlier.

I don't believe it was a German mine that hit the Lusitania, it was a U boat. This ship sunk off the coast of Ireland and a long ways from German waters.
pax41 2 years ago
If I recall correctly the Luisitania was sunk by a German U-boat. Many years later it was determined the Luisitania was carrying arms to Great Britain in violation of our own neutrality pledge.
Vydio 2 years ago
I remember seeing that on a special showing the wreck. Wonder who leaked that information to the Germans?
pax41 2 years ago
Not everyone holds to the belief that the ship was full illicit munitions. There were several million rounds of regular rounds, however these were legal and mentioned on the cargo manifest. If there was more of a dubious nature, my guess is it would have been leaked by the numerous people of Germam ancestry who worked on the loading docks. However, what were we doing violating our own neutrality pledge? Tsk, tsk, tsk ..

We were involved in the war from April of 1917 till its end in Nov. of 1918. I know it has been debated as to our contribution to winning the war but still there were over 120,000 Americans that died during this conflict. WW2 was a whole other story and took the bombing of Pearl Harbor to gets us involved 100%. It is almost certain that Germany and Japan would have won the 2nd World War without our involvement.
pax41 3 years ago
If the US 'wasn't really involved' then how do you explain 120,000 deaths? Yes, the Yanks came in late, but they brought supplies and morale. We also helped to demolish German uBoats who had declared unrestricted warfare on any oceanic craft, be it civilian or military. We could wonder the Brits were so hesitant to reveal the deciphering of the Zimmerman Telegraph, as that very document was one reasons for the US getting involved. Nice gratitude.
