World War II Uncovered | Essential Documentary Part 2 🌍

World War II Documentary - After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, what had started as a mainly European war, had now turned into a global conflict, with America’s focus now shifting towards the Pacific War as well as The North African and Italian Campaigns. Japan's attack had backfired and far from wiping out American influence in the Pacific, they had just awoken a sleeping giant, with the subsequent Battles of the Corral sea and Midway shifting the balance of the war. The Allies would also see success in North Africa, with Erwin Rommel 'The Desert Fox' being forced off the continent, securing Egypt and in particular the Suez Canal for the British. From Africa, the Allies would be able to disrupt Axis operations in the Medditarain with the Invasions of Sicily and Italy all on the horizon. The War was finally turning in the Allies favour and it would not be long until the Axis were retreating, being pushed all the way back to their homelands. #history #ww2 Timestamps 📽 Intro: 0:00 The Road to War 0:50 Roosevelt and the Rising Sun 4:19 Italy's New Empire 7:09 Operation Compass 10:23 Greece 12:24 Japan's Path of Conquest 14:46 Pearl Harbour 18:00 Japanese Blitzkrieg 20:52 America Strikes Back 24:14 The Battle of the Coral Sea 27:20 The Battle of Midway 30:10 The Desert Fox 38:43 Auchinleck 41:44 The Battle of El Alamein 44:27 The Battle of Alam el Halfa 45:57 The Second Battle of El Alamein 47:14 Malta 50:48 Operation Torch 55:45 Sicily 59:54 The Soft Underbelly 1:04:30 Mussolini 1:05:32 The Invasion of Italy 1:06:51 The Gustav Line 1:08:44 Monte Cassino 1:10:08 Anzio 1:12:58 The Allies Break Through 1:17:00 The Great Escape 1:19:06 The Capture of Rome 1:20:09 The Fate Of Mussolini 1:21:12 The Fight Continues 1:22:07 The Italian Campaign 1:23:20 Part 3 1:24:12 Other Videos: Apollo 11 - The Moon Landing Explained | Best Space Race Documentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUh3P3ivNbE Fall of The Soviet Union Explained In 5 Minutes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M16RMXZDG_g The Vietnam War Explained In 25 Minutes | Vietnam War Documentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tNTh6KlXXU World War 2 Explained | Best WW2 Documentary | Part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLHPLWDyHio Greek Gods Explained In 12 Minutes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ri-AoKE42rw Egyptian Gods Explained In 13 Minutes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bURNgGA2lzM Norse Mythology Explained In 15 Minutes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2oxzmJPoRu8 The Fall of Rome Explained In 13 Minutes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJz15Y6hKMM Sun Tzu - The Art of War Explained In 5 Minutes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hz4FNBj1APA Nikola Tesla Explained In 16 Minutes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ok8JDXSYw1U Left vs Right: Political Spectrum - Explained In 4 Minutes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JlQ5fGECmsA Genghis Khan and The Mongol Empire Explained In 8 Minutes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDyece8CQF8 MUSIC AND VIDEO: Intro and Outro Music by: https://soundcloud.com/ryantothec Video music by: https://artlist.io/ The Life Guide is a channel dedicated to providing interesting and educational content about a range of political, philosophical, economic and historical topics.
