00:00300,000 souls live in the city
00:04And they've all just left
00:06Hello and welcome to WatchMojo Spanish
00:08I am G and today we will know
00:10the most important mistakes in the history
00:12of humanity
00:14The simultaneous
00:16collapse of four
00:18powers is unprecedented
00:22King Jong Nam goes to Disneyland
00:24in Tokyo
00:26Why would the young dictator of North Korea want to kill
00:28his own brother?
00:30Well, to understand North Korea, you really have to think of it
00:32as being an absolute monarchy
00:34The Kim dynasty
00:36The dynasty was founded by Kim Il Sung
00:38after the Second World War
00:40When the old man died
00:42in 1994
00:44his son, Kim Jong Il
00:46ascended the throne
00:48Kim Jong Nam was in his day the heir
00:50of the North Korean dictatorship
00:52until in 2001 he made a shameful attempt
00:54to visit Disneyland in Tokyo
00:56With a fake passport from the Dominican Republic
00:58and a Chinese name
01:00he was arrested when he arrived in Japan
01:02and deported to China
01:04The incident deeply embarrassed his father
01:06Kim Jong Il
01:08and caused his family to reject him
01:10Finally, his half-brother
01:12Kim Jong Un took over from his father
01:14In 2017
01:16Kim was assassinated in Malaysia
01:18and later revealed that he had been a CIA informant
01:26Last time, Kim Jong Il
01:28his father, he never killed people
01:30But now
01:32I don't think so
01:34That's why he killed
01:36all the people
01:38He cannot trust the people, right?
01:40He also supported the political reforms of the free market
01:42which apparently contributed
01:44to him being hanged
01:46If he hadn't tried to make this fateful trip
01:48perhaps the fate of North Korea
01:50would have been different
01:52After Jang Sang-taek executed
01:54I killed him
01:56After that, one year, one and a half years
01:58Only one time
02:00I saw him
02:02I was waiting for him, but he never came
02:04This means that his situation
02:06completely changed
02:08He was dangerous
02:10and then suffering for the money
02:12Negative to hire Orban
02:14Praise to all of you, Engineer Orban
02:16Thank you, my Sultan
02:18Thank you, my Sultan
02:22Have a safe journey
02:49To free from misfortune
02:51Do not fail us in our mission
02:53Let our Korean soldiers
02:55be victorious on the battlefield
03:19The Ottoman Sultan also carried warships
03:21through the land to avoid
03:23the great chain of the port
03:25which gave them another advantage
03:34The Titanic sank after ignoring
03:36the warnings of Iceberg
03:49I need to...
03:51Many mistakes were made
03:53that caused the sinking of the Titanic
03:55so it is difficult to point out only one
03:57However, perhaps the most important
03:59was to turn to St. Ivor
04:01when they spotted the Iceberg
04:03which prolonged the collision
04:05and created a great gap
04:07that flooded five compartments
04:09If they had collided head-on
04:11the bow would have been crushed
04:13but only one or two compartments
04:15would have been flooded
04:17Follow me, enter it in the log
04:25What was that, Mr. Murdock?
04:27An iceberg, sir
04:29I put a hard starboard
04:31and ran the engines full of stern
04:33but it was too close
04:35I tried to port round it, but she hid
04:37In that case, the ship could have survived
04:39since it was destroyed to continue
04:41floating with up to four flooded compartments
04:43Also, it only carried
04:45twenty lifeboats
04:47enough for approximately
04:49half of the passengers
04:51The main mistake of that night
04:53was to ignore the warnings of Iceberg
04:55and keep a high speed
04:57throughout the journey
04:59Having changed only that decision
05:01could have avoided the accident
05:03The pumps buy you time
05:05but minutes only
05:07From this moment, no matter what we do
05:11Titanic will found her
05:13Mexico attacks the Alamo
05:15If you could oversee manning the walls, it would be a help
05:17We should have six men to a cannon
05:19eighteen tubes, which works out to...
05:21108 men
05:23And we should have a man with a musket
05:25every four feet of wall
05:27We're gonna need more men
05:29In 1836, during the Texas Revolution
05:31the Anglo-American residents
05:33were fighting for independence
05:35from the Mexican Republic
05:37They succeeded and gained ten years of independence
05:39before joining
05:41the United States in 1846
05:43During the war, the Mexican forces
05:45under the command of
05:47General Antonio López de Santa Anna
05:49besieged the Alamo
06:01That's Santa Anna
06:03He's quite the peacock, isn't he?
06:05After 13 days
06:07some 1,500 Mexican soldiers
06:09launched a decisive and overwhelming attack
06:11to the barracks with some 200 Texans
06:13after three attempts
06:15However, it was a counterproductive victory
06:17since the ruthless bloodbath
06:19inspired many to join the army
06:21with the hope of taking revenge
06:23for the loss of their Texan comrades
06:25Just a few weeks later
06:27a Texan army, now fortified
06:29attacked the Mexicans by surprise
06:31in the Battle of San Jacinto
06:33ending them in just 18 minutes
06:55The Trojans and the horse
06:59An offering to Poseidon
07:01The Greeks are praying for a safe return home
07:03This is a gift
07:05We should take it
07:07to the temple of Poseidon
07:09I think we should burn it
07:11Burn it, my prince? It's a gift
07:13to the gods
07:29According to legend, the Greeks
07:31built a giant wooden horse
07:33hiding soldiers inside
07:35and gave it to the Trojans
07:45The Trojans believed
07:47it was a symbol of victory and put it in their city
07:49so the Greek soldiers
07:51emerged and attacked Troy
07:53The authenticity of the story is still in debate
07:55and there is no direct evidence
07:57However, the oral history played a central role
07:59in the ancient world
08:01that kept surprisingly true elements
08:03which suggests that this story
08:05may have been inspired by real events
08:17Caesar ignores the warnings
08:27What I tell you now is the truth
08:47If I may, gracious Caesar
08:49you were going to consider revoking
08:51my brother's exile
08:53I'm still considering it
08:57Take your hand off me
09:05What are you waiting for?
09:07Now! Now!
09:09Now!
09:11They were all despised
09:13which led to his death in the Senate
09:15where he was stabbed 23 times
09:17A fortune teller warned him
09:19to be careful with the Idus of Mars
09:21the date when he was finally murdered
09:23His wife, Calpurnia, had a dream
09:25about his death
09:27and insisted on staying at home
09:29but he disregarded it
09:31Finally, his trusted friend, Brutus
09:33convinced him to enter
09:35which turned out to be the dictator's last mistake
09:37So, you see, the tyrant is dead
09:39the republic is restored
09:41and you are alone
09:47Would you like some honey water?
09:51I won't
09:53Thank you
09:55I saw Russian cars
09:57which the Chinese have begun to make
10:01There were wood-burning buses
10:03of the type I had seen in Europe during the war
10:05Vehicles of all kinds
10:11In most places of the city
10:13there was a good traffic control system
10:15Mao Zedong was the founder
10:17of the Communist China
10:19which became the leader
10:21of the Communist Party of China
10:23during the Great March
10:25a crucial event in the Second Sino-Japanese War
10:27After Japan's defeat
10:29he tried to industrialize China
10:31and finally recover from the century of humiliation
10:33He believed that the rapid industrialization
10:35would help them reach the West
10:37but it became a catastrophic failure
10:40Here, oil is extracted from coal
10:42Built in 1928 by the Japanese
10:44destroyed during the war
10:46it was restored and enlarged
10:48The Japanese produced 225,000 tons of petroleum
10:50in their best year
10:521957 production was 320,000 tons
10:541958 goal 440,000
10:56to catch up with Britain
11:09Mao Zedong faced criticism
11:11for his policies
11:13and was marginalized in the 7,000-picture conference
11:15However, this did not last long
11:17since only four years later
11:19the Cultural Revolution began
11:21which allowed him to regain
11:23total control of the nation
11:40All kinds of steel products are made
11:42NASA ignores the warnings of the Challenger
11:463, 2, 1, and liftoff
11:50Liftoff of the 25th Space Shuttle Mission
11:54and it has cleared the tower
11:56In 1986, NASA launched the Challenger transporter
12:00which exploded tragically
12:02only 73 seconds after takeoff
12:04The event occurred during a cold morning
12:06which caused the rubber torsion joints
12:08of the ship to harden
12:10and a fuel leak
12:12engulfed the ship in fire
12:14The seven crew members died
12:16marking one of the darkest moments
12:18in the history of space exploration
12:32Months before, several engineers
12:34including Roger Boshilley
12:36had warned of an imminent failure
12:38due to the vulnerability
12:40of the cold rubber joints
12:42Boshilley even wrote a memorandum
12:44in which he described this problem
12:46but his concerns
12:48were completely ignored
12:50Although a team was formed to address the problem
12:52they grew in adequate support
12:54and the launch ended disastrously
12:56as Boshilley had predicted
12:58The United States increases tensions with Vietnam
13:04to get involved as he did
13:06with American force
13:08in that part of the world
13:10thinking that this great monolithic
13:12Soviet style communism
13:14would rule the roost
13:16when he could have played it differently
13:18I believe
13:20and fought it more subtly
13:22The United States entered the Vietnam War
13:24after the Gulf Incident in Tonkin
13:26in which the North Vietnamese forces
13:28supposedly attacked
13:30the US Navy
13:32The incident was advertised
13:34as an unprovoked attack
13:36but later evidence
13:38showed the opposite
13:58While the first attack
14:00was the subject of debate
14:02the second was completely invented
14:04It became a brutal war
14:06that lasted for years
14:08and caused thousands of deaths
14:10to Americans and Vietnamese
14:12The United States committed
14:14atrocious war crimes
14:16like the My Lai Massacre
14:18In the end the war ended in failure
14:20all caused by an incident
14:22with very little evidence
14:30to infuriate
14:38Henghis Khan
14:54You can use many words
14:56to describe Henghis Khan
14:58as one of the most successful
15:00ambassadors in history
15:02but he is not the only one
15:04In less than two years
15:06he annihilated the Joresmita Empire
15:08Although there were a variety of factors
15:10that contributed to this invasion
15:12the main one was the insult
15:14to his ambassadors
15:29In 1218
15:31Khan sent a caravan to the empire
15:33which was arrested and executed
15:35under suspicion of being spies
15:37When he sent diplomats
15:39to deal with the situation
15:41the Joresmitas refused to comply
15:43and beheaded the main envoy
15:45In 1921 his empire was destroyed
15:47and had suffered between
15:492 and 15 million casualties
15:51Maybe they should have thought about it
15:53twice before insulting
15:55one of the most ambitious conquerors
15:57Christianity is welcome in my kingdom
15:59as is Buddhism
16:01Judaism
16:03Islam
16:05and the eternal blue sky
16:07of my grandfather
16:09Henghis Khan
16:11descended from a wolf
16:13Forgetting the time difference
16:15paralyzed the invasion of Cochinos Bay
16:17During the Cold War
16:19the United States supported
16:21numerous coups all over the world
16:23Although several managed to establish new regimes
16:25they failed miserably
16:27Worried by the communist policies
16:29of Prime Minister Fidel Castro
16:31in 1961
16:33the CIA orchestrated the infamous
16:35invasion of Cochinos Bay
16:37disembarking against Cuban revolutionaries
16:39on the southwest coast of the country
16:41However, an evident paint job
16:43in a B-26 bomber
16:45disguised to look Cuban
16:47denounced the participation of the United States
16:49to the world
16:51which led President Kennedy
16:53to the airspace
16:55A few days later
16:57a desperate bomber
16:59that departed from Nicaragua
17:01failed when the vehicles were surprised
17:03without its escort of combat aircraft
17:05shamefully someone had forgotten
17:07the difference of an hour
17:09between Nicaragua and Cuba
17:11Fleming left bacteria
17:13on his laboratory table
17:15The Scottish doctor Alexander Fleming
17:17was a brilliant researcher
17:19famous for his work on bacteria
17:21accidental discovery
17:23while investigating
17:25the bacteria Staphylococcus
17:27in 1928
17:29he left cultivation plates on a table
17:31of his laboratory during the weekend
17:33when he returned he observed that a fungus had grown
17:35in the areas close to the organism
17:37the bacteria had been eradicated
17:39the moth led to the creation
17:41of the first antibiotic
17:43penicillin
17:45without Fleming's mistake
17:47the history of medicine in the last century
17:49and many of those who lived could have died
17:51the nuclear disaster of Chernobyl
18:09the fusion of Chernobyl
18:11was the most destructive nuclear disaster
18:13in history
18:15and could have been completely avoided
18:17if the proper procedures had been followed
18:19the event was caused
18:21by a safety test
18:23that had to be carried out during the day
18:25but with a trained team
18:27however the night team
18:29without training carried out the test
18:31with very little time to prepare
18:33and carry it out correctly
18:47the Soviets also kept
18:49in secret their nuclear technology
18:51and hid important information
18:53from the operators and engineers
18:55who must have understood it
18:57after the explosion more mistakes were made
18:59such as not evacuating the nearby city of Pripyat
19:01until more than a day later
19:03it was the perfect storm of mistakes
19:05that led to one of the worst disasters
19:07of humanity
19:17a birthday in a hurry
19:19on June 6, 1944
19:21the allies launched
19:23an ambitious operation
19:25to retake western Europe
19:27known as the D-Day
19:29the first landings occurred
19:31on the beaches of Normandy, France
19:33there were many casualties
19:35but the operation gave the allies
19:37a point of support that finally led
19:39to victory on the western front
19:41however things could have been
19:43very different
19:45the most consumed general of the Germans
19:47Erwin Rommel was in charge
19:49of defending the Atlantic wall
19:51against the invasion
19:53but he decided to take permission
19:55since the 6th was his wife's birthday
19:57and the German meteorologists had predicted
19:59wrongly storms for a few more weeks
20:01which made it unlikely
20:03an invasion by sea
20:05if Rommel had been in command
20:07it is possible that the allies
20:09would not have had the advantage to retake France
20:11Russia sold Alaska
20:13during the 19th century
20:15the Crimean war caused several countries
20:17to begin to exert pressure on Russia
20:19by blocking their sea routes
20:21because of this they could not adequately supply
20:23their largest territory in the overseas
20:25Alaska
20:27to compensate for the situation
20:29Russia sold the territory to the United States
20:31for $ 7.2 million in 1867
20:33although it may have been an intelligent decision
20:35at the time for the country
20:37in retrospect it is considered a mistake
20:39since the gold and oil
20:41discovered in Alaska
20:43greatly exceeds the value for which it was sold
20:45not only that but the fact
20:47that Russia had a point of support
20:49in the North American continent
20:51would have made the Cold War
20:53develop in a very different way
20:55a hasty public announcement
20:57demolished the Berlin Wall
20:59the Berlin Wall was not only a dark symbol
21:01of the division between East and West Germany
21:03but also the steel curtain
21:05erected to maintain the mass exodus
21:07of the East controlled by the communists
21:09to the democratic West
21:11however everything collapsed
21:13much faster than expected
21:15thanks to an official of East Germany
21:17who was not prepared
21:19on November 9, 1989
21:21Gunther Schabowski received a text
21:23about new travel authorizations
21:25but did not have time to review it
21:27before his press conference
21:29instead of telling people
21:31that the citizens of East Germany
21:33could request to cross the border the next day
21:35he said that people could do it
21:37immediately
21:39this quickly led thousands of people
21:41to meet on the wall
21:43border guards, reluctant to open fire
21:45let them pass
21:47and the rest is history
21:49the invasion of Russia by Hitler
21:51the decision of a British soldier
21:53to forgive the future Fuhrer
21:55during the First World War
21:57turned out to be a huge mistake
21:59but we could say that the most dramatic
22:01that involved Adolf Hitler
22:03was one that he himself committed
22:05despite signing a non-aggression pact
22:07against Russia
22:09he still considered Joseph Stalin
22:11and the Soviet Union as his enemies
22:13in June 1941
22:15the Germans invaded Russia
22:17despite deploying
22:19the largest invasion force in history
22:21the Germans were not prepared
22:23for the Soviet land tactics
22:25nor for the Russian winter crew
22:27and suffered more than half a million casualties
22:29the offensive divided and exhausted the German forces
22:31and deposed Russia
22:33which probably caused Hitler
22:35to lose the war
22:37a wrong turn
22:39started the First World War
22:41one of the most famous murders of all time
22:43that of the Austro-Hungarian archduke
22:45Francisco Fernando
22:47is usually considered the catalyst
22:49of the First World War
22:51but what some may not know
22:53is that it could have been avoided
22:55if it were not for a wrong turn
22:57the archduke had already survived
22:59a murder attempt with a bomb
23:01on his return
23:03the drivers of the regent
23:05who spoke Czech
23:07did not understand the indications
23:09for a new route
23:11and took a wrong turn
23:13when they stopped to reorient
23:15they were right next to one of the murderers
23:17who quickly pulled out a gun
23:19and shot both Fernando and his wife
23:21Treaty of Versailles, hard conditions
23:31the treaty of Versailles
23:33was an agreement signed in 1919
23:35at the end of the First World War
23:37which focused mainly on weakening
23:39the German Empire
23:41despite the fact that the Austro-Hungarian Empire
23:43was the main instigator
23:45with a strong ultimatum for Serbia
23:47the victorious powers blamed
23:49mainly Germany
23:51the victorious powers blamed
23:53mainly Germany
23:55the victorious powers blamed
23:57mainly Germany
23:59we were journeying to Paris
24:01not merely to liquidate the war
24:03but to found a new order in Europe
24:05we were preparing not peace only
24:07but eternal peace
24:09there was about us the halo of some divine mission
24:11we must be alert
24:13stern, righteous and ascetic
24:15for we were bent on doing
24:17great, permanent and noble things
24:19they had to accept all the responsibility
24:21for the beginning of the war
24:23and they were forced to pay huge reparations
24:25and they were forced to pay huge reparations
24:27Germany neutralized their economy
24:29and promoted the resentment
24:31towards the victorious powers
24:33which finally led to Hitler's rise
24:35to power and the Second World War
24:37if the allies had adopted
24:39a less punitive approach
24:41as the United States did with Japan
24:43after the Second World War
24:45the devastating Second World War
24:47and the rise of Nazi Germany
24:49could have been an alternative story
24:57Napoleon invades Russia
25:23nobody understands that Russia is unconquerable
25:25in 1812
25:27Napoleon declared war on Russia
25:29alleging his refusal to comply
25:31with the continental blockade
25:33he took half a million soldiers
25:35from all over Europe to the border
25:37and made them march to Moscow
25:39the Russian defense was confused
25:41without planned resistance
25:43and its land tactics were largely improvised
25:55in the battle of Borodino
25:57Napoleon abandoned his
25:59cunning usual tactics
26:01and ordered a direct assault
26:03the French won
26:05and Moscow was taken
26:07but little Bonnet
26:09never received the peace agreement
