VOICE OVER: Peter DeGiglio WRITTEN BY: Aidan Johnson
From ancient conflicts to modern warfare, history is marked by acts of unprecedented brutality. Join us as we examine the most devastating military decisions that shaped our world. These shocking events demonstrate how single actions can trigger catastrophic consequences and change the course of history forever. Our countdown includes the atomic devastation of Japanese cities, Vlad's terrifying forest of impaled soldiers, Britain's aggressive response to China's opium ban, and more! Which historical event do you think had the most significant impact? Share your thoughts in the comments below!

The Defenestration of Prague (1618)

Protestants Throwing Catholics Out a Window Triggered the Thirty Years War


The Invasion of Kuwait (1990)

Iraq Began the Gulf War After Occupying Kuwait


Bombing of Pearl Harbor (1941)

Japan Sought a Quick Victory Over America, but Got the Opposite


Japanese Invasion of Manchuria (1931)

It Would Eventually Trigger Japans Full Blown Invasion of China




Atomic Bombings of Hiroshima & Nagasaki (1945)

Things had taken a turn for the worst for Imperial Japan by 1945, with the Japanese homelands at risk of American invasion, plus the Soviet Union finally breaking their pact. By August, they were ready to surrender; however, the Allied powers sought an unconditional surrender. To achieve this, they dropped two atomic bombs on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It got what America desired, with Imperial Japan finally surrendering on August 15th. Many consider it a necessary evil, but this is a widespread falsification. Americas enemies were Japans leaders, not the civilians of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, making it one of the most barbaric acts of cruelty in human history.
