Synopsis

In 480 B.C, during the Greco-Persian Wars the Persian Empire led by Xerxes I of Persia fought the Greek city-states forces at the pass of Thermopylae in central Greece. This battle was to become known as the Battle of Thermopylae. The only thing stopping the Persians was an army led by King Leonidas I & his 300 Spartans; the greatest soldiers the world has ever known. Vastly outnumbered, the Greek Spartans held up the Persians advance for three days, until they were overrun by Persian forces. The film also focuses on the lead up to the Battle of Thermopylae revealing that the Greeks might have played a part in the Ionian Revolts in Asia Minor in 499 to 493 B.C. It brings its viewers into understanding ancient warfare when the documentary focuses on the naval battle around Thermopylae, strategic & tactical considerations, and the aftermath of the battle which lead to the burning of Athens and Greek victories in battles such as Plataea. It also reveals to those unaware that the Spartans didn't fight alone.

In the First World War the Japanese fought on the same side as the British and captured German soldiers who were fighting in Asia. They were treated well, even, following an Imperial Order of 1882, 'as guests'. The question arises: "How could the Japanese behave with such kindness towards their prisoners in World War I and then, less than thirty years later, act with such cruelty?"

16 avril 1746. La bataille de Culloden, dans les landes marécageuses de l'Écosse. Sous les ordres du Duc de Cumberland, les régiments d'élite anglais écrasent les partisans de Charles Edouard Stuart, qui cherchait à renverser le trône de Hanovre à Londres, scellant le sort définitif de l'Écosse. L'ultime bataille à s'être déroulée sur le sol britannique tourne au massacre. Une fois les Highlanders décimés, une impitoyable « pacification » des Hautes terres s’ensuivit. Plus de 2000 Écossais tomberont, victimes des combats et de la féroce répression qui s'abattit sur tout un peuple et sa culture.
