My great-grandfather fought for Austria-Hungary.
His father had left Russia for Austria, so he spoke fluent Russian.
After being captured by a squad of Russians while on night duty, he was brought to a Russian PoW camp. The warden didn't know German, and was trying to tell a group of Germans to give their names to him.
After about a day, he decided to speak up, telling the warden he knew Russian and German, and could help him if he was put in better quarters. The warden agreed. For most of the war, he was translating orders for the warden to new prisoners. At one point he even convinced the warden to let the Germans have Christmas free from work. When the Bolsheviks took power, a small force was sent to the prison, and told the Germans in Russian, "you are no longer at war with Russia. All prisoners must leave immediately".
My great-grandfather and about 150 other German and Austrian prisoners had to walk their way through the Russian civil war and back to their homes.
my great-grandfather fought for austria and the other great-grandfather fought for serbia so they were on different fronts xd
My grand grand father was defending his homeland Serbia from austrian invaders...and I still use his trophy,german lantern now adapted in electric lamp ....rip all of them

@@alpha-1730 hitler hoped america would focus on japan and two germany's future rivals would weaken, but he was wrong.
Most of the war, it actually seemed that central powers would win. At least, on a map.
Yeah, this is the problem with mapping this war. While it looks very nice, it doesn't accurately represent the military situation.
For example: Germany's army tried one last offensive in 1918 and although it got some land, it was completely exhausted. The French, British and the Americans were thoroughly trashing them until the German generals got the idea and gave up.
the americans saved France and Britain
Shanks
Not really. The German Spring Offensive failed, after that, the war could only go down the drain for the Central Powers.
The American troops had a significant contribution in shortening the war, but by August 1918 the German army was completely exhausted and its population in a state of starvation.
The longer the war would go, the higher the chances of the Spartacist uprising being successful and Germany forced out of the conflict.
It is kind of bizarre to me that they lose one offensive and then unconditionally surrender instead of have fair terms.
+Olaf Mikli
It wasn't just that. The map does not accurately represent the German situation at the time.
First, the German allies were knocked out of the war. While they weren't the best, their theatres kept numerous Entente forces occupied.
Second, the German government was on the verge of collapse. The economy was down the gutter since it never correctly adopted a war economy.
The people were starving because of the RN blocade.
The Communists were gaining traction. The main reason why the Spartacist revolt was quelled was because of the influx of battle hardened soldiers following the German surrender.
Third, while Germany did technically own Ukraine and large swathes of land in the east, it couldn't administer them properly. *The people didn't want the Germans there*. Over 1 000 000 troops were needed in the east after the Russian surrender in order to keep the new territories pacified.
Fourth, the German army was exhausted. The spring offensive was its last dying breath. The reason it failed was because it couldn't sustain to supply its quickly advancing soldiers.
The Entente started pushing back, the American army entered Europe and it was game over.
The Entente could've easily pushed deep into Germany, but by that time it too was exhausted from such a brutal war and it took the German offer for peace.
The UK and France could have never known that the Germans would be so angry that they would believe any conspiracy theory a madman would shove down their throats.

Because of tranches. That was too many soldiers killed, from the two sides. I know it, because I am French and I have my history lesson just in front of me. But it wasn't undramatic at all.

And then....
Most of the countries around the world: Can we join?
Switzerland: *eats popcorn*
I can't wait for the sequel in 1939.
Matt Mcgavin
Well one of the problems that made Hitler so bold to invade/annex other nations, like Czech and Poland was that there were not really allied military pacts against him...had UK, France and Soviets all came to agreement that Nazi Germany was big threat and allied together from the start, Molotov-Ribbentrop pact would have never been born and if they had taken Poland and Czech, among other smaller European nations in that pact along with them Hitler might have thought twice before invading on any direction,
The Soviet Union and Nazi Germany had a Non-agression Pact at the start of WWII. The Soviets didn't join the Allies until 1941, when they got invaded by Nazi Germany.

Well Otto von Bismarck did say “One day the great European War will come out of some damned foolish thing in the Balkans.”
Gideon Mour If it didn't start in Balkans, it would start in Luxemburg or Poland or wherever. Austro-Hungary wanted some land,and looked for an excuse to start a war in Balkans. Germany,on other hand, wanted some colonies. The war was already there,it was a question when it will begin,not where. Killing of Franc Ferdinand was only initial spark.
Yes, that was really significant reason for Germany to attack Russian Empire or Belgium...

In case you are wondering, Germany is in Southern Finland due to the Finnish Civil War and the allies are in Archangelsk due to the Russian Civil War.
But why did the allies decide to land there because of the civil war specifically?
They were important ports and the Allies were afraid that should the Bolsheviks gain control of these territories, they might win the civil war, which they did anyway
good job man.
song by neil dismond
Yes, after the whites won the Finnish Civil War, Finland was supposed to have a German king called Prince Frederick Charles of Hesse as the head of our "new monarchy". Central Powers lost so this never happened so we decided to have presidents instead.
My second great-grandparent was a warrior in ww1 fighting for the Kingdom of Serbia. When the serbs escaped through albania, he himself escaped to but not only that, he was one of the 4 men that carried King Peter 1st on the road. Once the allies cleared everything up, the king offered my 2nd great-grandfather a large piece of land, which we sold and are a wealthy familly now because of that.
Damn. My great grandfather was a soldier in the ottoman army and fought at the fronts in Russia or in Iraq. First he made food or such stuff, and then he fought with swords with the brits or the Russians. Sometimes he played dead, just to survive. The foreign enemies would stick to him and go on. He catches them there😂🤗
He got scares in his head

When you watch the end of this video you can catch a slight grip of the humiliation Germany felt at the end of WWI and how the "knife at the back of the nation" myth got so popular. When you look at the territorial gains, it looks likes Germany is winning, it made Russia surrender, took big chunks of its territory, yeah the Brits defeated the Ottomans, took them long enough, but on the Western front Germany was still inside France when they surrendered. How often do you hear of that in a war- you catch the enemy's territory, couldn't be moved for years, and you surrender your territory instead. What the generals knew and the public didn't was that there is no way Germany could sustain the war for much longer, especially not when the fresh US army has joined and Germany's allies surrendered. They wanted to avoid what later happened at the end of WWII- allied forces in Berlin, the annihilation of Germany. Lloyd George, if I'm not mistaken, wanted to keep the fighting, said that the Germans would never believe they have lost if they wouldn't see the allied armies marching in Berlin with their own eyes. History would prove him right. France have lost the most out of the allied forces, wanted to cut their loses early and punish Germany severely. Another reason for WWII.
They should have never attempted the spring offensive but try to end the fighting diplomatically
@@leonpaelinck it was tried in 1916 with American president as the mediator. The German Emperor was happy to accept peace with nothing changed in 1916 with the American president pleading the entente Britain and France to accept them aswell.
Britain and France rejected and they laughed at the American president calling him a naive fool who doesn't understand politics.
But the truth was the germans had been blockaded, and were starving.
Germany surrenders because Romania joined the allied powers.

Then he was released. He did so many things in ww2 as well

@@rafanana0077 thank you mate!
@RUclips User That's what English propaganda of ww2 wants you to believe. Just because due to our generals we didn't achieve victories during the second world war, it doesn't mean our soldiers weren't brave. As a proof of that, you can see what our soldiers did to the English army at Alamein, resisting without weapons and food for days; indeed we were given the military tributes for our bravery. If you don't trust me read what Hemingway said about Italians soldiers in his books, and you are going to find out we were everything but cowards

It’s a shame that the Gallipoli landings are so hard to see here. They were really defining in both Australia and New Zealand’s history. At the time they were both young nations that sent many men off to war, many of which died in the trenches and beaches of Gallipoli, it’s still something that defines both nations, and ANZAC day is widely respected in both countries. This would have also been significant for the Turkish people too, to have your homeland invaded by a foreign force that you were told to fear would have been a nightmare for the people, let’s not forget the many young Turks that died at Gallipoli too, they fought just as valiantly as the ANZAC forces.

Pretty Irrelevant in the grand scheme of things honestly
@@wewonesverdes101 Well it is utter ignorance to look at the Gallipoli front from your point of view. Those events changed the world for good. And I am not just talking about the Anzacs or the Turks. Gallipoli front had opened to bring aid to the Russian Empire. It was going to be a quick death for Ottoman Empire and after the surrender the British were going to gain the control over the Bosphorus. And that meant they were going to be able to bring help to Russian Empire. Russians were suffering a very hard famine and that was one of the main reasons why the October Revolution happened. The defeat of the Entente both caused the fall of the Russian Empire and the war to prolong.

You know that they fought really hard there? The Belgians hold the Germans at the Ieper Front with the French
do you heard about the battles of "la Somme", "Verdun" , "le chemin des dames", "la Marne",etc... these are well know in France ;)
Actually the Western front was the hardest.
Territorial changes happened all the time on the Western Front, but they were measured in Meters and payed dearly in blood. Imagine fighting over the same set of trenches several times a day.
First and last shots of Western Front was fired in less than a kilometer distance. Turns out they fought for nothing.
I gotta say as a german. Its hard to watch Germany surrender.
Big A Seal you call that funny?
Thats actually the reason for WW2
Big A Seal oh please we were fighting against 4 Great Powers.
Name me one nation that did that and sustained longer in that war.
Big A Seal hahaha i will only be grateful to France cause Britain did the most slavery in the world. And wow are they good at wars just sitting on their pathetic Island and proclaiming they are helping while in WW1 and 2 it was the US and the USSR defeating Germany.
The reason why I like Feance is because of Napoleon, the first king who did something against slavery.
The Modificator No no no no. Let's fix that. The Brits provided tons of help in WWII. Kicking the Italians and Germans out of North Africa (With some American help), Deciphering the German code. Creating Radar, and preparing/following through with the invasion of Normandy. Plus they sent supplies via lend lease to the Soviet Union, and basically removed German air superiority via the Battle of Britain. Britain was a HUGE contribution.
WW2 is France's fault.

Excellent video as usual. And I'm glad you've decided to insert the "Bollettino della Vittoria" at the end of the video. Many people are completely unaware that without the Italian victory of Vittorio Veneto and the complete destruction of the Austrian Army in the battle Germany could have continued the fight for several months ahead.
Fantastic overview, thanks for creating those videos!
Love the marches you upload.
Serbia was beating Austria Hungary until Bulgaria joined, central powers really had to invade a country both sides with a backstab just to barley conquer a tiny nation
Because most focus went on bigger parts. If Serbia was alone then it might have lost.
Bulgaria just wanted all lost land,The Treaty of Berlin stole almost one half of lands populated with Bulgarians
Austria-Hungary needed another country to invade a tiny one.
Remove Schnitzels
Not whole Central Powers,if Germany helped Austria,Serbia would be cruhed in couple of weeks.
It's amazing how much different the beginning of the war was from the ending. In 1914 and early 1915, old fashioned cavalry-on-cavalry and infantry-on-infantry battles were still the norm, even with trench warfare settling in. But after that, other than the odd cavalry charge or infantry charge "over the top", it had become dominated by trench warfare as technology favored defense over offense. It wasn't until airplane and tank technology improved that there were any breakthroughs. Cavalry still had a few limited advantages over tanks and airplanes, which is why it continued to be used to an extent all through the war, even in the early days of WWII, but by summer of 1915, the days of marching into battle alongside a band loudly announcing your presence were done for.
Your comment only applies to the Western Front, WW1 was immediately followed by the Polish-Soviet War in which the last great cavalry battles of history were fought.
WW1 was both the last War of the Imperial Era and first War of the modern Era

It's kinda funny how, based on the map, 2 months before the war ends it's hard to think of it ending with anything less than a full German victory
For most of the war looked like Germany would win
Germany was only winning in Europe. They lost all their colonies fronts
@@reaperx4589 doesn't that mean germany has less fronts to focus on?
The germans were quickly retreating since mid august.
Considering how much ground they lost the last 2 weeks before 9/11, they way far from winning, clearly the opposite. It’s either Will germany reinforce and stall or its arming is collapsing.

Amazing to see how little the fronts changed in WWI. The weaponry, including machine guns and automatic rifles, had far outpaced the Napoleonic tactics still in use, so both side lost massive amounts of men gaining only a hundred yards or so of ground.

Everyone thinks of the western front to be so active when in reality:
France: Pass the popcorn
Germany:Nein
MooMoo Chicken Not funny.
MooMoo Chicken That's actually the exact opposite. People have the misconception that it was mostly stagnant but there were a ton of offensives, counter offensives, strategic maneuvers, retreats, espionage, etc etc. Very active yet people think what you're thinking.
MooMoo Chicken, actually, the western front didn't move a lot in 3 years, but the battle there were the worst France have ever experience. For example, the battle of Verdun killed around 150000 soldiers in Each camp but the frontine was almost the same at the end...

Yea, the war was for nothing, but Germany was winning. I don't consider Germany evil during the war, they just wanted to fight. So did the French, Russians, Italians, Austrians, and Ottomans. (Serbians, they really wanted to cause some shit.)
+MuricaMapper Germany was not winning, Germany doesn't have army, France have thousand tank and planes modern army, and arrive by The south of Germany and with The UK by The north, Germany didn't got army after German offensives of summer.

Nice video, but a little note: the final speech is not of Vittorio Oralando (the Prime Minister of Italy) but of Armando Diaz, Chief of Staff of the Italian Army
Ah, WW1, the war which destroyed the optimism of Europe, the idea of absolute rule, and balance of power in Europe, which from 1918 on saw a vacuum in Central/Eastern Europe, allowing for the extremists in the stronger countries on the fringe of this vacuum (Russia and Germany) to take advantage.
I can't help but imagine what the world would be like if the war had ended by Christmas. For starters, no matter which side that one, the peace would've been less harsh. Much less damage and human loss would occur, and ultimately there would've been no "stab in the back" as Hitler called it if Germany lost. Germany's armies would've been thoroughly crushed by the end of the "five month war". It's very likely many monarchies would survive the war, most notably the Russian monarchy. Also a survivor, the Ottoman Empire, which would've had no chance to join so quick a war, historically joining in late October, which at that point would see the Central Powers on the run (in the scenario I'm describing). The Turks wouldn't join so disastrous a conflict. Italy wouldn't have felt betrayed, the Treaty of London was signed in 1915. The real question would be the status of Austria-Hungary and Germany. The Austrians would probably have seen some instability, perhaps the empire would've collapsed anyway. The Germans would probably liberalized their nation, adopting a British model, or something similar. Overall, there would be less revanchism in the peace conference, France regaining Alsace-Lorraine, Belgium gaining the Eupen region, Russia gaining parts of Prussia and Galicia, Serbia gaining minor concessions or even Bosnia. The reparations would be few, and payable, and disillusionment would've been limited to few. Be interesting to see what you would make of a scenario, EmperorTigerstar *wink wink*.
And then there's the Central Power victory, for those of you still reading. A similar scenario would've happened overall. Minor land concessions on the behalf of the allies, with Luxembourg, and Belgium and France up to at most the Meuse being annexed. In Russia, Poland would be annexed, or granted independence, depending on how the Germans handled the situation. In the south, Serbia would be puppetted, and the southern half annexed into a friendly Bulgaria, regardless of their intervention. Italy would've been revisited, and certain punishments would be placed on their disloyal ally. The Ottomans would've annexed parts of the Caucasus, all of Kuwait, and the Sinai, or even all of Egypt. The domestic repercussions would be felt hardest in Russia, the Czar's position even weaker. However, the communists wouldn't rise, as there would be no political or military need to send Lenin to Russia. Russia's fate would depend on German intervention, which if it occurred would preserve the absolute monarchy. Otherwise, a constitutional monarchy or even a republic would form based off of western lines. In France, the shock of a second defeat to Germany might result in the rise of extremist groups, such as Fascists or Communists. In Britain, it is unlikely such a thing would occur. Britain would've lost less of consequence, and at most the colonies would be unstable (mostly India).
And that's my analysis of the alternatives of an early victory. If there are any other theories based off of this, feel free to suggest them, or even debate what I put, and why. Thanks for reading my wall of text.
And the likely point of divergence in the Entente victory would be Tannenburg, and the divergence in a Central Power victory would be the Marne.
And didn't matter who won ww1 ww2 would still happened
WW2 as we know it wouldn't happen. There would be no Anti-Semitic Fuhrer in Germany, no "stab in the back" the public morale wouldn't have been nearly as broken as in 1918. There would be no massive democratic revolution, no mutinies. One side would've been thoroughly beaten, not lost because their citizens protested so. If Russia entered Berlin, Wilhelm would have given up, same if Germany entered Paris. If anything WW2 would be caused in a similar way to the first world war, or maybe even like the Franco-Prussian War.
I was talking about like if the war end in 1918
