You need to watch the History channel series that is going on right now called "The World Wars"
Holy shit, I have learned so much from this already, just after 2 episodes.
Really well put together.
I don't want to get anyone pissed off, or pointing fingers for this, but I feel completely failed by my School Educational system as far as history goes.
I learned Patton (while only a Captain) chased Poncho Villa into Mexico, and was the first person to incorporate Automobiles and Weapons, by attaching a Machine gun to a car in (I believe) 1914. He ran down 3 guerrilla fighters and mowed them down, one being Villa's right hand man. Patton tried his own thing when traditional Military tactics would not work (due to the guerrilla style by the Mexicans)
He also led the 1st Tank Brigade in WWI.
I learned Hitler was considered "too weak to hold a rifle" by the Austrian Military, so he moved to Germany, whom was gathering as many as they could.
Before the USA joined into the first World war the military was only composed of 100,000 Soldiers, to Germany's already 4.5 million.
I learned they didn't want to join until Hitler bribed Mexico to go to War with the USA and he would sponsor it, so they could take back AZ, NM, and Tex while keeping us distracted and unable to join WWI. The letter was intercepted by us between the 2, and ultimately pushed us to go against Germany.
I learned Mussolini was Hitler's idol, and accomplished his goals not too far before Hitler attempted to follow suit.
OK must watch if you love History
