Politics & War

On April 24, 1951, after routing the South Korean army, the Chinese People's Volunteer Army pursued their foes to the positions of Australian and Canadian troops, who were still constructing fallback defenses 39 kilometers to the rear. In this challenging terrain, sometimes amid darkness, individual soldiers engaged in close combat, with a superpower clashing against a coalition of nations from around the globe. The battleground was a valley, a historic invasion route to Seoul, and its potential fall meant the loss of the southern capital and the war. While the United Nations forces held the advantage with elevated positions and artillery support, the Chinese relied on overwhelming numbers. Consequently, young men from both sides found themselves in a closely contested and intensely personal battle. The Battle of Kapyong marked a crucial juncture in China's Fifth Offensive during that spring in Korea. The offensive aimed to expel foreign troops from South Korea and push them into the sea. However, the unexpected occurred, altering the course of the Korean War. The Chinese were thwarted in their pursuit of victory and compelled to

In July 1942 a German Messerschmitt took off from Leipheim airfield in Bavaria…but it was no ordinary aircraft… It was an Me 262 - the world’s first operational jet fighter. Powered by two Junker Jumo 004 turbojet engines and able to travel 120 mph faster than the revered American P-51 Mustang, the Me 262 offered a ray of hope in the increasingly dark skies of the German Luftwaffe. On paper, it was faster and more deadly than any other Allied fighter plane, yet despite this remarkable feat of German engineering, the Me 262 proved not to be the salvation Hitler had hoped for… Why did such a frightening aircraft that could have been the kryptonite to the Allied Air Force, fail to make its mark during the Second World War?

In 1789 France was the powerhouse of Europe. It had the continent’s biggest population, a large overseas empire and had become the hub of the Enlightenment. But the country was to be transformed and engulfed by a fierce revolution… a 10-year struggle of profound social and political upheaval that would have a lasting impact on the world. It would create shockwaves that traversed the globe, ending the Bourbon monarchy and sending shivers down the spine of Kings and Queens in Europe. Though it degenerated into a bloodbath during the Reign of Terror, the French Revolution helped to shape modern democracies by exposing the power inherent in the will of the people. Many of its values – liberté, égalité, fraternité – are still used as a motto today. So how did this monumental series of events come about? How did they escalate into the scenes of King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette's execution that we conjured up today? Who were the key, influential figures, like Maximilien De Robespierre, Georges Danton, Louis de Saint Just and Jean-Jacques Rousseau? In this video, Luke

Historian Dan Snow reviews some of his favourite World War Two movies from the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s. Dan begins with a review of 'Guns of Navarone' (1961), starring Gregory Peck, Anthony Quinn and David Niven, and analyses the accuracy of British commandos using disguises on missions during the Second World War. He also sheds light on the Dodecanese Campaign, a relatively unknown Mediterranean theatre of the conflict which proved to be Hitler's last great strategic victory in 1943. Dan moves onto the cult classic that is 'Das Boot' (1981). One of the first World War Two movies to show submarine warfare with gritty realism, Das Boot has been praised for its historical accuracy and ability to allow audiences to empathise with soldiers from the wrong side of an inglorious war. Dan delves into the filmmaking process, which involved rebuilding the interior of a real U-96, and the history behind this aspect of naval warfare in the Atlantic during World War Two. Next up is one of the most famous World War Two movies of all time - 'The

Military historian Dan Snow MBE reviews the evolution of warfare over the course of 250 years depicted in historical movies. Spanning from the late-18th to early-21st Century, Dan charts the development of battle tactics and strategy, as well as the rapid evolution of weapons technology which have transformed the battlefield. In the second episode, starting of with Fury (2014) starring Bard Pitt and Shia LaBoeuf, Dan explains how the concept of a pitched battle was made obsolete by the introduction of armoured vehicles, more specifically, tanks. Although tanks had been introduced in the latter years of the First World War, it was only in the Second World War that they became integral to the strategies of Allied and Axis armies. Two of the most iconic tanks from the conflict are seen in this scene from Fury, the German Tiger Tank and US M4 Sherman. Dan assesses the pro and cons of each tank and analyses how they were used in World War Two. Moving on two decades from the Second World War to the Vietnam War, depicted in Casualties of

The Cold War was a war fought not by fighting, but by spying. The East and West engaged in a cat and mouse game of espionage, constantly trying to uncover what their rival's next move would be.

The Nazi regime lasted from 1933 to 1945 and was undoubtedly one of the most horrific periods of history.

Spanning from the late-18th to early-21st Century, Dan charts the development of battle tactics and strategy, as well as the rapid evolution of weapons technology which have transformed the battlefield. In the first episode, starting of with The Patriot (2000), Dan comments on the use of columns of infantry advancing slowly toward the enemy musket volleys in the American War of Independence from 1775 to 1783 - a battlefield strategy that seems almost archaic to us now. He also details the early forms of guerilla warfare seen in the American Revolutionary War, that were used to chip away at British morale. Moving on over half a century later in Glory (1989) - a film starring Denzel Washington, Matthew Broderick and Samuel L. Jackson depicting the horrors of the American Civil War from 1861 to 1865 - Dan notes how battlefield strategy, such as that seen at the Battle of Antietam in 1862, had barely changed from that seen several decades

In the run up to Remembrance Day in the UK and Veterans Day in the US, we have unearthed an archived interview with Oscar-winning filmmaker Peter Jackson (director of Lord of the Rings), in which he details the process of making 'They Shall Not Grow Old', a remarkable documentary that uses state of the art technology to restore original archival footage from the First World War.
