Liberty Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Extremely good data visualization. Helps you realize the scale of WWII... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongHaul Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 A+ presentation. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks for posting Liberty. The long peace and lack of conflict is why I think the US should cut its spending on OFFENSE and just focus on defense and nuclear to save a ton of money.

cubsfan Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Very well done. The numbers are staggering and the visuals are great. The numbers blow your mind if you read Antony Beevor's "Stalingrad" and "The Fall of Berlin". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travis Wiedower Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Great video, thanks for posting. I'm in New Orleans right now and visited the World War 2 museum yesterday. Great learning experience but so incredibly sad. Highly recommended to anyone that hasn't been before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adesigar Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Really amazing video. I think the numbers used for the An Lushan conflict might be off tho. Proportional to world population Mongol wars were much worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Packer16 Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Much of Eastern Europe had a mass genocide from the Communist Revolution to the times of Stalin. The book Bloodlands documents much of what happened as most of the victims had been killed in these events or were under dictatorships when the story could be told. The scale of this is just monumental. I had to put the book down many times while reading it as it was so disturbing. For me a good reminder of what freedom really is and how important it is. The things we debate now as freedom versus are not are trivial in comparison and am indebted to the soldiers who stopped this madness.

Gamecock-YT Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Great video. Thanks for posting. I had the opportunity to visit Normandy last month, and just came away staggered at what the invading forces accomplished. How anyone made it off Omaha Beach is mind-blowing. Whenever the d-day anniversary came around prior to visiting, I thought I had an appreciation for what occurred. But visiting there certainly changes someone and it's a place everyone should get the chance to visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope that we won't have to experience this in our lifetimes. For a while it seemed that we won't but with rise of Putin's Russia I can't be sure anymore.
