We understand this video is going to be controversial, and some of you will disagree with what was presented. We welcome an honest and respectful conversation in the comments below, but we discourage ad hominem. Corrections: - I understand that "South Central Asia" is a more accurate term to describe the location of Afghanistan and Pakistan instead of saying "The Middle East." We'll be sure to correct the wording next time a conflict is covered in this region. Discord: discord.gg/j8Eu2Ww Twitter: twitter.com/ArmchairHist
  • 2001: The Taliban controls Afghanistan. 2021: The Taliban controls Afghanistan ... but with Blackhawks and UAVs.
  • When stuff from 2002 starts becoming “history”, I , a 23 year old, feel old.
  • I was born on January 25th, 2001 in Afghanistan. Now I live in the U.S. Me and my family went through all of it. From soviet union invasion, civil war, and then end of the war (operation nothing) amid extreme poverty, corruption, lack of security and stability. Miraculous survival after experiencing a lifetime of war, poverty and displacement. Of course, we each got our own mental conditions (PTSD, GAD etc...)

    This is the history channel with the best atmosphere. The music, the drawings and the tone are really immersive.
  • @Zenth93
    Its surreal watching this the day the U.S evacuates.
  • @DaYemenball
    I’m watching this 3 years later and it is incredible of the evolution of your videos! Love your Chanel!!!
  • @davelowe8105
    I'm loving these videos sir! I wish I could have found them sooner lol. Looking back, I wish I'd went in historical order, but I've corrected the mistake and I'm off and running lol. Thank you for the education!
  • So, who is watching this for a bit of context now that the Afghan government has collapsed today?
  • @DaytimeAce
    clicks immediatly so I don't miss this again

  • @Harveyb358
    This is a great channel. Well done. Similar to the operations room. About the only place I can watch history.
  • @brrrt7623
    Your narration and cinematic quality of animation is second to none. Thank you for this great content.
  • @mgt1429
    Now make an animated version of our withdrawal.
  • @jimmyraven93
    Love the Star Wars Battlefront “zoom in” reference
  • @slavsquat8788
    Just discovered this channel! I love the visuals and detail. Very well narrated. Respect to all who fought and those fallen to both sides. Edit: all sides (obviously wasn't just the US and Afghans)
