In the 1960s, the political groups in Yemen rose up to try and kick out their British colonizers. This period became known as the Aden Emergency by the British and it characterized by a series of insurgencies, counterinsurgencies, and political turmoil that left thousands dead and changed Yemen’s future forever.

What about Toussaint Louverture, who actually did free his country (Haiti) from it's colonial overlord, the French, then did NOTHING to improve his peoples situation?
If only the Americans had learned from the Suez crisis….. Some 30 years later, they would start to do the same thing, weakening Iraq in the 90s in a conflict they should have stayed out of before doing the ultimate moron move by bringing 'freedom and democracy' to Iraq in the early 2000. This last move not only weakened Saudi-Arabia's power and influence in the region but also ensured terror groups like ISIS would come, see, and overcome the Iraqi government.

It was not a lie that the fedayins attacked Israel all the time. They came from Egypt and attacked israelis on a daily basis
I thought it was always pronounced Ay den
It is ADEN not ARDEN
They have really progressed well since independence, keep up the good work!
Yemen is a failed state.
fantastic video mate, well researched, loved it!
The British (and many other European countries) used the Arabs to get the Turkish control out of Arabian countries… They promised too much…
"my friend my friend, buy this piece of shit from my magic carpet" "for you my friend! special racist price" …..stop sympathizing with them please. if you go to Egypt you will realize why the British empire was mostly a good influence on uncivilized barbarians. they are a society of beggars and con merchants. RULE BRITANNIA!
I was there and remember about mad Mitch!! As a 15years old I was worried as to what this crazy Scottish soldier will do to us!
Remember that incident about Mad Mitch recovering the dead soldiers from Crater Aden! Well your claim is not accurate ! He was not able to collect the dead soldiers from crater Aden! Unfortunately many of the dead soldiers were set on fire and burnt in the centre square . It was a terrible sight to watch those poor soldiers.
Anyone else noticed the rifle that was in the hands of the older gentlemen on the left? At 18:29 I thought it was very cool. Watching from AZ
Yemen feels like it was better under British rule… the crown only fell to chaos after the weakening of the empire.
but what we have now, a 6 away civil war doesn’t sound like its been better without the British.
Famed British GUNBOAT diplomacy😢
"Yemen is still a no-go zone." As opposed to all the other muslim totalitarian states?
Yemen is currently no go because the American brits and Saudi savages have been inflicting famine genocide and ethnic cleansing against its people for a decade👍🏻🙃🤡
The British were going to leave Aden anyway. The Adenis knew this and were, at the wishes of Nasser, trying to make it look like they were being driven out.

The US backstabbing of UK and France for the Soviets was a grave mistake.
I know of one person that posted there and several other "hot spots" near there. He was a navy medic. He stated it was a constant bar room brawl with the lights out. Every side pointed a gun at him at one time, and he was always giving first aid to anybody that needed it.
