0:59Now Playing"Bellum se ipsum alet"—Latin for "the war will feed itself." 🍽️ This military strategy sustains and funds armies using the resources of conquered territory. First seen with the Romans, it was notably used during the Thirty Years’ War. However, in WWII, both Nazi Germany and Japan adopted this tactic with disastrous results; attempts to exploit Soviet lands failed to meet their army's needs, and Japanese troops faced starvation in places like Guadalcanal due to supply dependence. #BellumSeIpsumAlet #MilitaryStrategy #HistoryShorts #Craig #RomanHistory #ThirtyYearsWar #WW2History #WarfareStrategy #HistoricalConcepts #Logistics #MilitaryDoctrine #TitusLivius #Guadalcanal #NaziGermany
