Who is the Republican nominee in 1896 McKinley McKinley and who ran Ohio therefore pretty much own McKinley yeah Marcus Hannah what was the name for a court order that ended what’s the name for a court order an in the pulman say it again injunction and what did they put
On all the trains with a Pullman car yeah a male car you said male I heard someone say a male and the mail car and that allowed for an injunction Debs after being arrested for this became totally disillusioned with capitalism and would become the leader of what political party Socialist Party yeah because
Populist even though there had some socialist influence they were non socialist so McKinley gold standard but the Republicans did have a huge Advantage they weren’t in office when the Panic hit they weren’t in office and therefore blame for the the Pullman Strike or the seeming seemingly uncaring attitude
Around the coxy Army and so they had an advantage the Democrats Cleveland still supported the gold standard and back then the Democrats required 2third of the convention Southern States put that in back in 1840 to make sure no anti-slavery pres Democrats would be elected we do not pick presidential
Nominees this way anymore this would end and for the Democrats last one will be 68 for the Republicans in 72 19 okay so William Jenny’s bran in this hung convention he could pick nobody hung up on gold and somewh influenced by the populist 36 years old young congressman from Nebraska the
Conventions in Nebraska they’re trying to steal some of the populous Thunder what city is the crossroads of humanity of civilization Omaha Omaha is the most Cosmopolitan town in the world to be honest I think a lot of you would be too overwhelmed by omah start with Great Falls and then
Move step by step to Omaha well he he was known as being a great order but pretty much unknown darkos and he’s not really running for president per se but he’s very ambitious he got up and gave his speech to and he had a great voice to go little bit high
In a high pitch voice actually’s better for a big room without amplification and you know this was that one of those temporary wooden fire traps they built for 10,000 people and they were tired and exhausted they voted all night and couldn’t pick a nominee it was
A disaster so he got up to this exhausted speech but at the same time this was at a time when people wanted to hear long speeches they had much longer attention spans than the nlike attention spans we have today thank you technology and they wanted to they were
Ready for this so when it got up and started speaking it wasn’t like immediately everybody was listening but he had that gift that great orators do where he just grabed and he held the audience and he would talk and go up to Crescendo and they would rise up and
Applaud when he wanted the get back and listen and applaud just a gift and so think about for an hour he had them and when he finished the speech he finished with a crescendo that people would talk about for a hundred years so let me read to you the speech get comfortable it’s
Going to take a few days all right so I’ll read you the last few sentences it’s a great ending and don’t forget he has populist ideas and fre silver kind of represented all the populist ideas but the big thing is is more coinage of money or more currency inflation but
Also it implies the anti- Monopoly and that sort of element so he finished with if they dare come out in the open field and defend the gold standard that’s a good thing we will fight them to the uttermost having behind us the producing masses of this nation and the world supported by the
Commercial interests the laboring interest and the toilers everywhere we will their demand for a gold standard by saying to them and everybody was like what he had them you shall not press down upon the upon the brow of Labor this Crown of Thorns you shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of
Gold and they were silent say for 10 seconds just silent and then all of a sudden the place just erupted in cheers and standing up up and they stormed the stage Unfortunately they didn’t have a camera set up and where’s my mouse they picked him up on the
Shoulders and carried him around and by acclamation right there made him nominee for the Democratic party unknown to nominee overnight and people were like that speech was amazing we’re not sure what that last part meant but it sounded great had kind of vaguely religious but
It it made them feel like he sub you standing up for us we are down Tred and he is there for us a man of the people it was a remarkable speech and it would forever change politics forever this is going to be the beginning of candidates really campaigning for themselves that
Never happened before and this unknown now is the nominee and the thing is he stole the populace line free silver was the populace remember the pig dog that’s their thing free silver and remember I showed you the silver map here that was a populist thing and the populists were expecting
Or hoping to become one of the two parties no the Democrats stole it and now the PO the populists are at a real problem what do they do if they nominate their own guy that splits the free silver vote and assures McKinley’s victory and so they’re so to speak kind of
Walking a tight line as you can see from this very exciting picture right here see high wire you like it yeah this uh French bani I think I mispronounce again but he was a famous uh Highwire Act of the 1970s he would do his most famous one
Yeah yeah did the Twin Towers 100 stories out yeah got a wire Str and went broke the law there’s a good movie about that yeah because it was illegal there’s a good movie but I’m a little SC I’m scared of heights and it actually made my stomach hurt those scenes of him 100
Stories up on a wire so if you’re scared of heights enjoy it yeah he’s alone so they nominated Brian too they rolled the die and nominated Brian okay so they pick a different vice president so they’re throwing their lot in with the Democrats now this cartoon from
1896 implied Brian and here’s Brian as the populist python as a snake swallowing the Democratic party but it’s the other way around the Democrats absorbed the populace and one more thing this then got the Democrats and fit in with a lot of the feeling that this was
An intensely biased and racious time so here is a populist but now for the Democratic nominee cartoon and it’s showing the cross of gold and here’s labor being crucified on it and those across is the Republican Party corporations holding them up the crown of thorns by Hannah and look how they
Draw McKinley in his pocket it’s very clever but it also shows the intense Prejudice and racism of that time especially amongst the populace they had debts they hated Bankers the Rothchild family was a large banking family from Britain still is a large family and they happen to be
Jewish and that fits in with that horrible myth for the middle age about the Jewish Banker you remember I told you about that the other day and it fits in with that horrible Prejudice and don’t forget this is the most racist time in history and it would be to well
After World War II and it’s not just here in the United States it is worldwide this is a horrifically racist and awful cartoon but it’s important to see that attitude but that kind of spread to all urbanites so with that that’s the end of the popul they’re going to be absorbed by the
Democrats absorbed so remember I showed you that cartoon of the populist party as a big hotter balloon here’s the balloon down same cartoonist and the populist are dead they rolled the die all or nothing for their campaign and you could argue it was a mistake but third parties do
Not survive they would have died unless they became the party and so I don’t know what else to do I’m there and their slogan now the Democrats have adopted the free silver populist idea not all the populist ideas but inflation and they would say soft or loose money
They called it by metalism gold and silver instead of just the gold standard but the big thing they wanted was currency but also there Brian was intensely anti- monopo he despised social Darwinism with a passion that would actually hurt his reputation down the road and he tried workers rights but
The problem they had is with that anti-urban anti-immigrant prejudice bias oops they had an anti-urban bias Andre add your hand up all yeah Puck was one of the most one of the biggest satirical political magazines of that era it got absorbed into another magazine in the 1950s no it’s
Not it got orb and that um couple ver was eventually in part of time and there still is time but magazines are which is sad magazines are magazines are kind of Ni but you guys don’t have any idea no offense I mean you just don’t know me
The same way talking to me said having my uh having my uncle told me about how things were a lot better when we telegraphs you’re right they might have been but I have any idea you know it’s just it’s just like a different world ah the march of time moving on
This is an anti- McKinley I’m sorry antiban cartoon and all those tags are like he took it to the pawn shop he Pond them to get money basically ponding is you you borrow money from the pawn chop and your collateral is what you give to the pawn chop and so like the whole
Thing is a rent low rent campaign that they’re mocking him as a low rent a blow hard who doesn’t really mean it which wasn’t quite true so this campaign became known as has the gold versus silver campaign gold bugs gold bug silver bug and the gold standard the
Conservative try to say we’re stability nothing risky the gold standard which is something that conservative economics has played to this very day we represent stability and ways that have worked in the past while the populist try to represent we represent the people of for money workers
Rights and so became like a team I’m on the gold team or the silver team and soon the issues became secondary to the slogan slogans work they might not know all that’s going on but they’ll remember free silver they’ll remember the gold standard they’ll remember like down the
Road you’ll get like the New Deal or the Fair Deal the Square Deal okay there’s a lot of deals back there the New Frontier things like that slogans work to this day even if nobody really knows what they actually stand for so Brian actually campaigned around
The country he did a couple big train tourers including the Montana you can imagine how he was huge in be he gave a speech in be all because mining miners free silver lots of farmers here he is in Iowa here he is in Illinois he some
To give speeches from the back of a rail Carriage the first Camp candidate in American history to actively campaign for themselves intens not just get speeches and then let newspaper um newspaper or posters do the work here he is actually a few years later I just love this one because he
Would give this great speech he’s the boy oror he was called in even though by 1908 he didn’t look all that young anymore hey age but he get the speech out people just cheering and yelling with him I love this one because then look at this
Guy he’s like oh god I’ve heard this Spiel 100 times before same old thing even the greatest ERS you get those people going oh God is doing it again I’ll tell you that story we into the March on Washington for jobs in Freedom in 1963 but it felt like he had all these
People those are just tiny percentages of the population no matter how excited they are rallies only have a few people the Republicans ran What’s called the front porch campaign where McKinley now knowing he’s got a match this said I’m too busy as governor of Ohio so here’s the governor’s mansion
In Columbus and he just stayed there occasionally giving speeches where he just would do platitudes but now they have to kind of campaign but he’s like I’m so busy being governed uh in 1972 Richard Nixon would do the front porch campaign but they called it the Rose Garden campaign there
Big Rose Garden in the back of the white is said I’m too busy being president and a lot of campaigns will do that I guarantee you that is exactly what Joe Biden plan is for 2024 I’m so busy being president I’m you know and let ABS do it
And my guess is both will kind of do that because there’s an issue of age but moving on front porch campaign and let money do the talking but Brian of course is going to be attacked of what’s BTA stand for yeah of these IAL policies that would destroy the country and think
About campaign you don’t have to be honest here is a republican ad outside the Democratic campaign and it’s showing what free silver is doing to all these other countries you want to be prosperous like Guatemala or India two cents a day China 10 cents a day which
Then was low salary as it is today implying all those places that went to free silver are now decrepit and poor backward are are is 15 cent a day in Japan is that what you want for here those countries had nothing like what Brian was proposing or the Democrats were proposing doesn’t matter
Just say it give people an argument or most people are busy they’re doing their um actually like you know living and surviving and so they don’t pay attention to the facts this might surprise you but campaigns are going to lie to you in 2024 did I just ruin your
Entire just wait till you get send it out yeah was the average wage I don’t know I don’t know the hourly wage but the medium wage was about 100 or about um was about uh my num right about $450 now now you oh that’s not there’s been a significant amount of inflation
So money back in bot lot but it’s still pretty low it’s still pretty low but don’t forget you know the medium wage in the medum wage in in the 19 in 1980 was about 19,000 a year and that could buy more than what more than the median wage
Today so there’s been a lot of inflation so Harper’s really show up this other thing that the Republicans did we have the veteran politics McKinley was in the United States Army in the Civil War so he’s doing it in 1861 while Brian was a baby the boy oror
Do we want somebody that young just a year over the Constitutional requirement for president it’s 25 for the house 30 for the Senate 35 for the president that’s in the Constitution and they really pushed this now he never was in combat doesn’t matter he the closest he got to battle
Is he served coffee to president or to General Burnside at the Battle antina for burnside’s Merch there’s a big Monument for him there I’m not kidding and all he did is serve Cofe but when the election came blue in this are the Republicans yes I know my
Honor against the blue State Red State so that’s Republicans the populist really thought workers would come out the problem is workers were told if you vote for free Sil we shut in the B and this is still pre secret ballot you went and voted let’s say you were a factory worker and
You went and voted you voted right in front of somebody representing your boss and it was are you sure you going to vote that way they were told you will lose your job if you vote for B now they said your Factor was shut down but what it really meant you’re
Going to be fire and so the most industrialized area stuck with the gold standard so it looks like a lot but it’s very Mis Brian did not do as well as they thought and he’s going to run two more times and each time do a little bit
Worse the importance of Brian why this election is so important is not how he did in the election it’s how he changed politics so add one more thing Campa this is the first time they actively campaigned and now we’re going to get kind of active as active as as 80y olds can
Be don’t get me wrong they’re GNA be very active 80 years olds but that still is getting getting pretty old and uh my guess is I don’t know it’s going to be they’re going to be it’s going to be very controlled you have a you have President
Biden the other day saying that he was just talking to president midon of France the midan hasn’t been president of France since 1992 and then then um pres former president Trump was talking about how he defeated Barack Obama for president in 2016 no he didn’t and so they’re going to be very
Controlled in this election it’s going to be we don’t want them well especially you know the president’s be even more control so that’s an issue hey people make the current president of Francis macron midon you know it’s when you get older names start blending together hey
I was called my brother’s name by many teachers who are very intelligent and they did not seem ancient to me but younger than I am now so have some SYM and it’s easy to forget you know you know but still that’s why they’re could control back to this thing
It’s not just campaign it also showed that Urban interest are going to come to dominate politics now Urban interest and even candidates who try to appeal to rural voters are still representing Urban interests to this day and urban the percentage of people as Farmers is now below 40% I think I have
That yeah it’s just about it’s under 40% by this election and so there just not as many farmers anymore but also it shows the importance of money 1840 the lock have campaign was a real campaign about image but still it was only done by newspaper editors active campaigns require money
And this is the first one where it showed how couple different things how candidates need a lot of money and big money donors as I’ve mentioned before realize we get money to candidates they will do what we want you dance with who BR you Brian raised $700,000 in this
Campaign and that was an unheard amount of money back there just unprecedented $700,000 John D Rockefeller alone what was rockefeller’s company you remember yeah Standard Oil Johnny Rockefeller alone gave nearly $800,000 to mck alone why he was worried about anti- monoply stuff McKinley raised almost $7 million money made a difference he could
Get his name out posters plets talk to people money means everything especially below the president elections below it’s all money now the senate race in Montana is going to be one of the most expensive races in American history Montana this next election and tester already has raised well over $1 million
No I’m sorry he’s raised more than that he has over $11 million in the bank just waiting to spend he’s got 10 times more than his oppon whoever his opponent’s going to be probably Rosendale or she boy are we gonna start to enjoy abs of John tester and his farming big
S whether you likes tester or not there’s gonna be a lot of those ads of him I’m on the farm and I lost my three fingers on a thrasher yes see all he yes he doesn’t have these fingers farm when I first met him he was a
Member of the Montana house I remember shaking his hand and I didn’t know about that and I put my hand out and he put his hand out and it was like that and I was like and he goes everybody does that I like okay that’s pretty cool gu all
Right doesn’t mean you like him or not but he was that was a very clever move so oh you noce silver crying yeah Grand oh yeah probably and then probably a little bit more for the value of the coin you know the Rarity of the coin but
Yeah I’m not surprised at all would you give me a couple yeah all of the zero I have one more thing got Frank bra B would write a book about the populist movement but he said it in a different story he said it starting in Kansas with
The populist movement began a bunch of farmers there’s also Omaha part of that book but he had to go to this mystical World a fantasy world we jumping right here we’ll come back to that the wizard of odds the wizard of ozs is a is a metaphor a parable of the populace
Movement the characters in it all have representation of the populace they all the yellow brick road is the gold standard Oz is the capital Oz Oz o it’s all representation has anyone seen the movie Wizard of O if you haven’t seen it on it’s fantastic it’s such a good movie it is
So good and what color shoe what color shoe slippers does Dorothy have they’re ruby slippers but in the book They’re silver silver The Travelers on the road kaz’s Army to the capital industrial workers Farmers blow hard politicians that that they have courage to make a change it’s all like Brian all have representation
One more thing I’ll tell you real quick from the movie see the rust on the Tin Man you want know how they did it in the movie chocolate yeah it’s chocolate there’s a lot of stories good about I highly recommend this movie if you’ve seen it you might recognize
Here’s this was in the newspaper and I thought it was wonderful to kill and kill again they do kill the wicked witches yeah no they they start he’s he’s cashing in on the kids story but the first one is populism and he was sympathetic it’s argued if he was
Directly thinking po populism start writing the story and then kind of just did it one more thing let’s go so the populist movement in Brian would be the roots of liberalism liberal economic thought and this this then would have a conflict conservative versus liberal and liberalism would dominate the United
States the 1930s to the 1970s also coincide with the massive growth of the middle class and the only time in American history world history that the gap between the rich and the poor Shunk but the big goal was to reform capitalism and here is an anti- McKinley cartoon when McKinley is President Uncle
Sam fearful as monopolies are going in the White House and yeah yeah McKinley was against antitrust so the progressives they’re not the populace they’re not the same but they use many of the same Solutions the New Deal really was a populous Movement we got to get the years so the
First 20 years of the 20th century the New Deal order in the United States was 1930 to the 1970s even though many of the things that we consider about government are going to come out of the new deal and the 1960s Great Society of lynon Johnson all those have their legacy from the
Populace and you see elements of legacy of the populace today you the Democrats the Democrats became much more conservative economically but it seems like the Legacy might be coming back a little bit and there were Progressive Republicans so this has a long history and now we’re getting to the Divide so
Let’s get to something new imperialism which of course as we all need me know means Empire try it impire you’re not trying try it impire going be deep down we really should do that I’ll start chanting stocks and just put something and just watch watch their by the way I should
Add that it’s I’ve had people in there and after about 10 seconds they were so uncomfortable want to your back at this weird angle and you think oh it’s not too bad and then all a sudden everything hurts at once now I tell them you volunteered I’ll see you tomorrow so
Imperialism Just A Brief Review of you remember mercantilism that’s to suck the wealth out of the colony provide the raw materials so new heading big letters imperialism big headed imperialism and this was there’s two basic types of imperialism Colonial imperialism like you literally plant your flag like the United States were
Colonies and won their independence from an imperial power and here’s two examples of imperialism here’s British imperialist so she’s from Britain being hauled by by uh uh this is in Northern India that’s actually a pretty telling picture of how Colonial Masters looked at the population there this is even
More horrific these are German imperialist in Southwest Africa to today Namibia and what they did to the local population there the horrific treatment see the chains around them and the treatment was um genocide the Germans horrific meaning they were colonizers or economic imperialism would the countries remain independent but their mother
Country the larger neighbor takes over their economy for example Britain would go in and force countries to become protected so with the US this is a cartoon from Cuba and it’s attacking American imp economic imperialism of Latin America sir Uncle Sam is a monster scooping up the wealth of Cuba and the
Caribbean there’s a lot of cartoons from Latin America of Uncle Sam is this monster doing this a lot to this day so these are the two types of imperialism the United States would do which one that’s a trick question both the United States would do both and be
Gung-ho about it the United States is still both a colonial imperialist nation and economic imperialist to this day we have remember we have troops everywhere enforcing economic imperialism so the first thing we have to get to is called sews fall this is the first big expans big expansion besides a couple
Islands outside the continent of the United States and that’s 1867 William Stewart was Secretary of State for Lincoln and Johnson and he bought Russian America from Russia for $7.2 million and it was called Seward’s fall because Russian America was well what place is Russian’s America I gave you a
Hint with a map that’s Alaska I love this map from 1870 so here’s Alaska look at this we’re not sure it’s somewhere and it is it’s here and they said how dare you buy like this big ice chunk that’s why I was called Seward’s fall what did we buy
Alaska for well the reason we bought it was two full we didn’t want what country to get it Russia wanted to sell it Russia could not afford to colonize it what countries here Britain British C we do what Britain but the other thing was this in
The Civil War only one great power from Europe supported the United States Russia so we could we allow you don’t want it we’ll give you $7.2 million which was a lot of money I know that’s pocket change today by the way here’s a check for $7.2 million that is an amazing check imagine
Being being the person riding that check 7.2 million put okay H just just go to Walmart go cash in checks how how do the Russians use a check American so the United States said $7.2 million back by gold and they literally deposited and they actually deposited in the Bank of
Amsterdam yeah and used that as credit it’s not much different today now we just move money around electronically but they literally just and it was all okay the US in is worth gold so now the bank has it and then Russia use that to borrow money
So 1898 though this chunk of I that the United States thought was a Folly would turned to valuable what turned to very valuable but what was discovered in 1898 what the 1898 Gold Rush massive some just called the kond Gold Rush what are you talking about oh that’s what you said gold tell
Said wow that what it sound like he said okay yeah they bought kond CLS and nothing else yes that’s actually where the name comes from though it’s a kond gold rush that that that is actually that old it’s kind of funny how that happens but yeah and they bought ice cream but the
Big thing about the gold is this remember we had the Panic of 1893 there’s a relatively there’s a relative finite amount of gold all of a sudden in this 1890s because of Alaska and one of place the amount of gold doubled in World circulation and that helped get
The world out of the out of the panic everyone got that help get the world out of the panic and one more thing where else was gold discover there was a British colony where a lot of gold was discovered a lot but what’s kind of a British colony is complex you’re going
To find a little War called the war war you kidding say it again good guess there’s a little bit discover there but not South Africa South Africa all this gold so that would give the gold standard like a little bit of a boost but now we have Alaska and but
Still it’s too far north well people forget how big Alaska is square miles of Alaska is about the third of the continent of the United States you just forget how Massy Alaska is it’s bigger than L Park County did I just blow your mind also one more thing what president back in
1797 would warn the country as he was leaving office what’s call now we call Farewell Address against not only political parties turning to war but also foreign inang yeah George Washington in his farewell of he warned against conflicts about portion War but that’s a warning against Imperial Wars
Don’t get involved in these wars for Empire all those Wars that help lead to the United States but don’t forget this is right during the wars of the French Revolution he warned and the United States for the most part heeded that except for the War of 1812 until the 1790s everything changed everything
Changed why did they change let’s get to the reasons for Empire Qui well no we got quick so here is Uncle Sam and Colombia and this this represents this actually the new century so it’s 1900 so it’s the baby representing the New Year the creepy baby that’s half naked with a
Top hat SE it’s 1900 they’re weird yeah wand came out ining the War of 1812 but it was kind of join its caricature for the United States with Colombia until World War I and here’s the United States in 1900 so American worker paper app businessman farmer but there’s more the United States has
Grown Cuba Puerto Rico the Philippines and the Hawaiian Islands it’s a radically different country why did it change what were the reasons number one the closing of the frontier it’s no coincidence that the Massac wounded KN after that that sad tragic ghost it be 1890 the West had been
Conquered the people living there have been driven off the land or murdered the United States had took taken this land in the west and they still look Westward what was that idea back before the Civil War to make the United States a continental power it’s our duty to spread the civilization what
Was that called it is our duty to spread Westward Manifest Destiny well that’s idea that America was this exceptional Nation we must continue to spread and that did not end so it was still energetic next the Panic of 1893 brought hold this idea that we have to unify the country coxy’s
Army and Pullman Strike that is the Pullman Strike right there seem to show people that the United States need to be unified but don’t forget what other event that might require unification happened 30 years before this 30 years before the country was still divided because of
This that little Civil War there was a big deal during the Spanish American war that this one uh former Confederate soldiers fighting with the United States against Spain trying to unify the country and so see you thanks and also to trade off the Surplus remember the
Boom bus cycle the boom bus cycle what is the first thing you have a boom and what makes a deflationary curved to bus what is the first thing that happens that starts that shows the sign of a bus coming over production that means you have a surplus of goods we could trade
Off our Surplus to an Empire empire we control them we’ll make them buyer stuff remember that’s what the British did to the United States with the trade and Navigation Acts all those events that led up to the American Revolution and here is trying to show the United States
Could put up tariff walls create an empire Home Market and not worry about other countries and this shows how trade boomed in this period exports Imports three it’s hard in history to find a book more influential than author more influential than aler F or Mahan Mahan would the influence of Sea power
And it was all about how countries become great Powers well so everyone just call it the influence of Sea power but it’s in the year 1660 to 1783 what European country became a great power in those years you say America that European power what year the United States win their Independence
1776 from Britain Britain became a great power in that era so everyone got that this is about Britain and so it’s telling people or people read it as it’s not why Britain became a great power it is taking the lessons from Britain and how we can
Become a great power and how what made him great International Trade mercantilistic trade exporting more than Imports but here’s the problem if you’re going to trade you need an Empire you need raw materials you can’t be dependent upon other countries for raw materials but that means if you have raw materials you’re
Going to start going over these crazy things called oceans therefore you need a Navy Britain had a fleet that’s what made them great so they could protect their sea Lanes protect their empire protect their trade but here’s the deal if you’re going to protect your trade you need to go to
Have your Navy where they want to trade like off the coast of let’s say China so you need bases and that means even more reason for Empire also bases became important because in 1890s what became the most important fuel source for for ships at that time it’s also for trains and everything
Else coal they can only carry so much coal so they need coaling stations if you look at this map the United States started getting islands in the Pacific there’s nothing on Midway Island except for big Albatross birds and few scrub PS there’s no water it’s in a toll but they
Built a station there for coal it’s midway between the Hawaiian islands and Wake Island that’s the name Midway it’ be a slightly big War battle World War II there wake up same deal just in a toll of cold we need col stations bases for Empire and if we don’t have a powerful
Navy we will become dependent upon a country with a powerful navy or they can squeeze us off at any time to be at their Mercy we don’t want to be dependent upon Britain to protect our sea mons we don’t want this and every other country was looking at this the
Same way so how do you become a great power you build a navy and protect your trade and therefore you need a Navy to fight a battle and what kind of battle did he predict every war would be decided on what kind of battle every war they said what kind of
Battle would finish start and finish the war one big or one large battle so we need big ships of the lawn they started calling the big ships battle ship and these battleships will fight this climatic Battle of battleships and Naval commanders would read this and prepare
For this big naval battle that was in World War I they thought it in World War II no that’s not what happened but they always think that just like the Civil War at the beginning of the war or Bunker Hill for the Revolutionary War what countries read this well the
US started modernizing their Fleet with modern steel vessels and and modern cannon with smokeless powder revolutionized War changed everything remember the marac and the monitor those two iron classs in Civil War that would be just a start what other the countries read this well Britain read this and say hey we’re doing everything
Right other countries read this and they didn’t have the Industrial Revolution they couldn’t do it falling the H France needed every penny every penny because their population was two3 that of their biggest enemy who was France’s biggest enemy by the end of the century a brand new country
Germany Germany had the strongest army in the world they’ve never been a naval power Germany’s a new country started 1871 but they started to build a Navy because of this they wanted to be great I should have Britain France hated each other but all of a sudden Germany started building a Navy threatening
Britain anybody want to guess what war is going to come out of that what war one what other country read it they just begin the Industrial Revolution they wer read good guess China China was in serious decline going through a civil war mil Japan now everyone look at this real
Quick so Japan started building a fleet and expanding who else is building a fleet and expanding this way do you see a colonial war coming up in the Pacific nah I see no colonial war called World War II yeah not start building very lar all well there’s a number we have a
Clear Advantage a bunch of Lucky things not by we’re pretty we had three regional three the Japanese were much more disorganized shot Yamoto Commander complex PL instead of matching their Fleet they had all these different operations and that really hurt their up it was a it it’s an incredible battle and they
Made pick it up thr it away yeah it’s even though it’s a horrible movie Way movies bad I’ve never watched I I got be honest with you I can’t I don’t have saw silly Murphy was but that’s about the only who silly Murphy oh okay okay
Okay good acting I don’t know watch like two years ago I don’t really like historic movies more oh hey whatever taste you have have you ever watched a Mad God stop motion animation movie oh you should it’s so weird what’s it called Mad God Mad God
Yeah you’re going to want to shut it off like halfway through you keep watching well then why do I want to watch it it’s it’s good it’s good see you later see tomor
