Kings and Generals animated historical documentary series on the history of modern warfare continues with a video explaining how Russia won the Second Chechen War. Previously, we have talked about how Russian lost the First Chechen war (   • How Russia Lost the First Chechen War...  ).
The Second Chechen War, a brutal conflict that shook Russia and Chechnya, altered the course of history in the North Caucasus. This video delves into the intricate details surrounding the war, from its origins to its aftermath.

Beginning with the aftermath of the First Chechen War, marked by the devastation of Chechnya's infrastructure and the rise of armed militias, the video explores the complex political landscape that paved the way for the second conflict. It discusses the rise of fundamentalist groups and the deteriorating situation in Chechnya, culminating in the incursion into Dagestan and the subsequent bombings in Russia.

The video analyzes the motives behind Russian involvement in the war, both on a personal and national level, highlighting the political ambitions of figures like Vladimir Putin and Russia's strategic interests in maintaining control over Chechnya to prevent further destabilization within its borders.

Moving on to the start of the war, the video details the military operations launched by the Russian army, including the siege of Grozny, and the fierce resistance put up by Chechen fighters. It examines the strategic maneuvers employed by both sides and the devastating impact of the conflict on civilians caught in the crossfire.

As the war progressed, the video narrates the shifting dynamics within Chechnya, including the co-optation of key Chechen leaders by the Russian government and the gradual decline of the pro-independence movement. It also explores the long-term consequences of the war, including the consolidation of power under figures like Ramzan Kadyrov and the ongoing tensions between Russian nationalists and Chechen authorities.

  • You should have showed captured parts of Chechnya, during the war, with a different colour. Honestly it was a little confusing.
  • @thesixth2330
    I have been waiting for this since the video for the First Chechen War! Thanks!!!
  • @markusmeldre
    one of the deadliest wars since WW2 when measuring by per capita deaths.
  • @wretchedegg2208
    Great content as always. Would like to see videos about the Yugoslav wars from 1991 - 2001
  • @eliteplier
    Chechnya is very forgotten these days despite beeing so important for the rise of Putin.
  • Putin bombs his own buildings to gain public support for war. The CIA: "Write that down"
  • Thank you for your videos, but as a request, would it be possible to paint the parts of Chechnya that where invaded a different colour? Thank you
  • @redrusski7180
    16:14 The placement of the village is wrong. The village today is called Goi-Chu and is located south-east of Urus-martan. The indicated village had the same name but is a completely different one.
  • @pastellight8573
    I am Chechen, so far none has so precisely and absolutely correctly described and explained from point a to point z the two wars . Thank you .
  • @larisssa9471
    A funny thing was that some ministers started talking about the blown up buildings before it happened. There was a miscommunication and they were told that it already happened and of course they had prepared their speech and were before the explosion talking about it. That is something that tells you that it was them behind it.

    “Won” is a very strong word for this. Rather, Russia “bought” Chechnya. But despite all the bright pictures from Grozny on TV, the people there are very poor. Also, many people had relatives who died in that war, and they hate the Kadyrov clan and his loyalists.
  • @user-tg9qi8wk4g
    Make please more videos about Russian-Chechen wars and in general about Chechens. It was really interesting and thanks for this
  • Anime Washington and Stalin is both the best and absolute worst thing I’ve seen all day
