00:25 The Franco-Thai War 1940 video....
10:48 The Iraq 1941 video "Neutrality breached The British Invasion of Iraq."
24:23 The Iran 1941 video "400 Years of Independence Are Over; the Anglo-Soviet Invasion of Iran"..."
Greetings folks !! This video project is one I agonised over quite a lot, fearing that it would be seen as an attack on one well-meaning YouTuber rather than what it is, and that is : a wake-up call to viewers who believe everything they are told in documentaries ! I had to pick SOMEONE to be my case study, my object lesson, and that somebody turned out to be "Tipsyfish."
I love what he is doing, i.e, making the masses aware of obscure sideshows of history - which were NOT sideshows to those who had to suffer through them, watch their best friends get killed or - if they were the civilians - have devastation wrought upon their economic life. THE PROBLEM IS that Tipsyfish is quite ready and willing to misrepresent the photographic record (rather a lot ! I identify over NINETY mirepresented pictures and films in this breakdown of three of his short video documentaries !
I try to present them to you in a way that will stay entertaining and hold your interest, but : DON'T believe everything you are told on YouTube documentaries!!! Read up the original sources for yourself (something made far easier to do by the changes wrought by the Internet !!
And don't automatically believe ME EITHER !!!!
Be your own fact-checker please !!
