Estonian reacts to The Falklands War by Oversimplified

hello my friends my name is Arthur ray and I am an Estonian youtuber these are some weird white albino gummy bears the guy from Australia sent me really good and if you do want to send me can be very good I would eat all the candy I love candy we are carrying on with over simplified because I love it and I know you guys love it you watch the hell out of this stuff right now we have here Falklands War many wars part 1 I don't know what palette lens is it's it's some kind of island I guess I didn't know that war in that Island you're from Falcons definitely write in the description below so I know where you guys are from but let's see what happened was I never heard about this war I guess it's a small war but still we have to research high English Mariner John strong hi Anthony Kerry v I count of Falkland I would very much like for you to go to Chile and locate the wreck of a Spanish treasure ship for me ok [Music] hey I found some Islands what the English were probably not the first to discover the Falklands but they were the first to write it down they found it to be cold wet and miserable just like home so they established the colony in 1765 unaware that the French had also discovered the islands and done the same a year earlier and for a while the tour oh they both discovered them one year apart this is pretty big coincidence unaware of each other's existence until presumably there was an awkward moment where they ran into each other then the Spanish showed up and told the French that a couple hundred years earlier the Pope drew a line on a map and said all of this belongs to Portugal and all of this belongs to Spain and that the island was in Spain's territory and they would like the French to hand over their settlement now since the two are good friends and Spain was willing to pay in cash money the French obliged but since they were still a little bitter about the recent Seven Years War thing they made sure to warn the Spanish not to let those dirty English on the other side of the island take over so Spain went over to the English and explained Pope line on map Spain's island and the English said Yeah right this is ara the Spanish had more guns so they kicked them off anyway but then England threatened to go to war so Spain went to their friends and France and said hey it looks like stuff is about to go down you in on this and the French so they're going to warm for a small island on the other side of the world that basically doesn't even have I don't know call the Diamonds I guess just imperialism stupidity Minister of War said yeah and we'll launch a full-scale invasion of England and party like it's 1066 the 15th said one you're insane and two you're fired sorry Spain weren't ready for a war right now so Spain had to give the English their settlement back saying it's still our island and the English said no it's our Island then some colonists in North America got a bit rowdy so the English had to leave their settlement to go focus on that but they left behind a plaque that said this is totally still our island so the island was in Spanish hands but then a French guy no not that one that one turned on the Spanish took over most of the country and captured King Ferdinand the seventh and in response the Spanish colonies in South America started vying for independence so Spain had a little bit on its hands and also had to leave the islands for a couple decades the islands were left uninhabited except for the Penguins some fishermen and the Gauchos which are basically that's good that's how it should be just British in this to school wait leave it alone he liked cowboys but cooler and Spanish a merchant from Hamburg living in the now independent united provinces of the Rio de la Plata heard about the feral cattle roaming the Falklands and thought it would be a good way to make some money so he got permission from both bonus Aires and the British government to set up trade there as a private venture some American ships came down and began hunting whales and seals around the islands and Verneuil wasn't too happy about it so he asked Buenos Aires for some military assistance in defending the islands but Buenos Aires said men do it yourself give him some weapons and appointed him governor of the islands so he sees fewer ships and arrested he was a privateer he was private merchant he cannot go to war against the conch with their cruise in response to things happen first America came down and said nice settlement you have there would be a shame if someone destroyed it and then they destroyed it second britain heard Renee had been appointed governor meaning the United Provinces actually now the Argentine Confederation were officially claiming the islands as theirs so Britain showed up and said hey didn't you see her plaque and since they had more guns they kicked them off the island and the Falklands remains that's how it works you have more concerts firmly in pretty hands for the next century they officially became a crown colony in 1840 Port Stanley became the islands capital in 1845 the cattle heights from the island weren't worth much so they imported sheep from Britain in 1851 two world wars came and went and all this time the Argentinians never rescinded their claim over the islands now it's 1976 and after a couple civil wars and new brutal military dictatorships sponsored by the u.s. fight against communism has taken control in Argentina and by 1981 this guy was in power the economy had been struggling for a long time and Galtieri had been unable to improve the situation now if you ever find yourself the brutal military leader of a struggling South American country and you start getting into hot water here's a bit of advice that has been tried and tested throughout the centuries start a war to distract everyone from their misery Galtieri popular he'd be if he could actually yeah people want dictators usually make small wars and win them easily to show through their people that they are good and that's why they weak nations Britain is not weak go to war against Britain finally take back Argentina's last Malvinas from the occupying Britain there have been proposals to cut British military spending and the ice patrol vessel HMS endurance had been withdrawn from the area so the Argentinians assumed the British may not even bother doing anything about the invasion easily capturing the largely uninhabited South Georgia island 600 Argentine troops were sent to the Falklands the small number of Royal Marines and other British forces stationed there put up a small amount of resistance but in the end had to surrender to the larger Argentine force crowds in Argentina celebrated in news that they were wrong to assume the British would do nothing because the person in charge of the United Kingdom at the time was this lady that controversial Prime Minister but whether you loved her or hated her there was no denying that she was tough like metal iron for example she immediately declared an exclusion zone around the islands and organized for a task force of over 100 ships to set sail 100 ships the whole culture of Argentina that many ships up for the Falklands the United Nations expressed concern at the Argentine invasion all South American nations apart from Chile backed Argentina and since the United States had propped up the Argentine dictatorship Reagan went to Thatcher and said could you maybe just let them have the islands and that you said no okay here have some weapons fighting a war of what 8,000 miles from home was a logistical challenge for the British they requisitioned civilian cruise ships and containers and they used british-owned Ascension Island as a forward base by the time they arrived at the Falklands in May the Argentine forces had had time to entrench themselves the first task for the British was to gain control of the Seas which they did easily on the 2nd of May a British submarine sank an Argentine Cruiser this thinking is so now it's real work it's really sinking ships and stuff Wow and this only happened in the eighties it's pretty recent its controversial as it occurred outside the British exclusion zone it was also the largest loss of life in a single incident during the war Wow this is an act of war the real at war and this is really recent also the big powers haven't actually fought each other directly for I don't know four since the Second World War actually directly they haven't but this is different and in response the Argentine Navy withdrew from the islands the next task for the British was to gain air superiority while the Argentine Air Force control the skies they were able to inflict considerable damage on the Royal Navy below days after the sinking of the General Belgrano two argentine super attend ours carried out a raid on the hms sheffield and sync it with a nexus they sank the HMS ship British kingship or Queens that's a mistake you gotta get destroyed boy I can't I'd go back home at miss out for weeks the Argentine Air Force would continue to carry out raids and inflict heavy casualties on the Royal Navy with British sea Harriers doing their best to take out as many of the Argentine aircraft as they could while the battle in the skies raged on San Carlos was chosen as the best landing site for the British ground forces and SAS raid took out Argentine defenses in pebble island and the HMS alacrity sailed through Falklands Sound to flush out any Argentine supply ships the landings began on May 21st with Argentine aircraft carrying out full-scale raids on the Task Force ships taking part in the landing damaging several and sinking a few but anti-aircraft cannons and sea Harriers shot down many of the aircraft in what became a major turning point for air superiority and a beachhead was successfully formed then the ground troops began their movements out of San Carlos across the north toward Stanley and south toward the Argentine stronghold at Goose Green in the following battles so interesting I would have never thought that this is so interesting I actually really don't I'm not that interested about South American history I'm sorry don't get offended just from another part of the world but this one hey a clear trend emerged the Argentine conscripts put up a good fight and with the rough muddy terrain the war was by no means easy for the British but with highly-skilled Royal Marine commanders and parachute regiment troops the British would often find themselves taking on larger numbers of Argentinian soldiers but would still come out victorious with minimal casualties the 14 hour long battle for goose green commenced on the night of May 28 the battle ended in a decisive British victory with over 900 Argentinian surrendering then with 5,000 reinforcements arriving from the fifth Infantry Brigade the British started preparing for their final assault on Stanley in a series of hard-fought battles they took control the hills and mountains surrounding the town as the Argentine forces withdrew with British ships yelling their positions from offshore utterly surrounded on the 14th of June the Argentinians surrendered and the war was over the two-month long war claimed hundreds of lives and left the killed 600 okay almost four times as much almost injured double as much almost three times as much this shows how much they're more powerful of the British and what step the training counts I'm turning right now for the war how much I don't it's really hard sometimes but I see how much it counts islands strewn with minefields that still pose a problem to this day Argentina still claims the islands but in 2013 a referendum was held and the Islanders voted 99.8% in favor of remaining British plus oil was just found near the islands so the British probably aren't going to give them up anytime soon ok so there is oil that's why the iotus they didn't know there was all of course but they found oil now so they're not gonna let it go any time soon as he said well if you are South American I guess you have heard about this and you know much more about this than I did I basically found out about this war right now but now I know it was a war in the 80s when big powers didn't really fight each other anymore directly and the weapons the huge weapons weren't used because they were so expensive but here many ships were sunk British ships but it was a show of force in the end I think really interesting really new information for me and I think for you also my friends this was oversimplified they have like four more videos that I haven't seen something to react to all of them and just I want to make sure that you know I'm not making any money off this because they claim all of these videos they basically own them so they get their claim so yeah if you want to support me the Patriots in the description below that would really help me out that would ensure that I get paid for what I do so please go do that but as always my friends until my next video which will be oversimplified video stay cool and bye bye my name is Arthur Brady and I am in Russia in Sochi I came here with my mother and we're here on a very specific mission I never told you who was my grandfather now he was a great man of Estonia he was a politician an athlete and journalist a great thinker a great mind and treasure for Estonian nature
