Age restriction because of human remain oh I wonder why it's a ww1 idots like do people not expect people died in war documentary like it has war I don't know but I see it's really dumb.
It's insane hearing the losses of individual battles. "60,000," "100,000," 'quarter of a million." Each of those people had families, passions, stories, dreams. Forever silenced by war.
I guess RUclips just afraid of what the next war is gonna bring because by the looks of things. Its building up. And with nuclear weapons involve this won't be nothing.

This is dumbed down like crazy, history is written by the winners and this clearly is written by brits. I'm not on the German side at all but this was clearly a very British way of telling the story
Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), 15 republics. 1922 is when the transcontinental country was formed. WWI ended in 1918. His narrative of "Russia" (Russian Empire) is fact.

@@jbllc6873 they've just gone absolutely wild with censorship recently. Pro-Ukrainian channels covering the current war have also become demonetised and videos have been brought down. RUclips as we know it is dying, but unfortunately all the alternatives suck
I am simply amazed at how much detail of the flow of WW1 can be compressed into a two hour presentation, and still be crystal clear for understanding. This is easily one of the best histories I have ever seen.
@@mikeherrera5302 But in all honesty...would you really want to know it? It would only be MORE horror. We could never fully document everything that happens in conflict. Just take the Russia/Ukraine war as an example.

@@Zeus-jv9ds But if America had done nothing in Ww2 like they wanted, they could never have defeated the combined efforts of the axis powers. They to would probably be speaking German. Especially with the deployment of nuclear weapons which Germany would of had at that point. America helped massively in bringing the war to a close but in combination with the efforts of the allies!
@@venom-gt7rc im from austria and it was like 2 months only ww1 (2 history hours a week => in total around 17-18h), ww2 was like 3-4 months tho. i think austrian and german lessons should be quite similar. i went to a good school tho so maybe it was urs being shite? 🥴😋🧐
@@venom-gt7rc i wonder tho if the history focus on europe is very heavy in phillipines too, probably and understandably tho. we gotta admit like 80-90% of the important stuff happened there at least from like 1700 to 1950 (in 1900 usa and japan entered the picture as well). before 1700 there was lots of important stuff happening mostly all over eurasia and northern africa tho.
@@SakuraWulf It really goes to show that if honour was still a thing during modern warfare, then we know who the clear victor would be. I’m not German, mind you, nor do I sympathise with anyone in this documentary. These are just observations of mine.
I don`t find it fantastic at all. It doesn't consider so many details we already know. Gerry Docherty & Jim Macgregors view on this war is quite the opposite of this version here. As long as the old story is told, nothing will change. The told story is: Germany starts the war. But it isn't that easy! Germany's not an actor, it is reacting. You might read a lot of books and listen to many historians, but to get a close look on historic truths, you must also read the inconveniant historians and and one must ask oneself whether these alternative views are not plausible. Without learning facts from books like "Hidden history", "Prolonging the agony" and "Wiederkehr der Hasardeure" (transl. return of the hasardeurs), you cannot break up encrusted victors' history and make the truths visible. The only way to prevent history from repeating is to understand the mechanisms that led to mobilisation and declaration of war. The back story is the linchpin.
This is the Best film about World war 1 I ever watch. I see that it was make with love and passion. Please make film about World war 2. Please make tutorial how did you make it. (Thank you for the good film to watch)🎉
I feel like the scale of destruction in WWI was lost on me as a kid when I first learned about it. It wasn’t until I started learning about earlier conflicts from just a few decades prior that I really started to understand just how unfathomable it must have been.
When I was a boy, the men who fought in WWII were in their 50s and 60s, and I talked to several old men in their 70s and 80s who had fought in the "Great War." Some of them knew men in their youth who fought in the American Civil War. It's crazy to think that I "knew the men who knew the men" who encapsulate so much defining history of our nation. I watch this perspective ebbing away, everyone buried in the current petty age. Even if it dies with me, I'll carry it proudly to the end.
@@shravan8848I don't think he was talking about the war itself, but the men who survived and managed to move forward after the horrific things they have seen during the war. These men deserve to be proud of.
@@d.r.v.r.war and slavery is the way of mankind though out all of human history. It is the fact that first two white christian men who first stood against slavery and were successful because of JESUS CHRIST. First in England then America but it was very costly to the nations . This type of individuals created the freedoms and luxuries you enjoy while been ignorant and ungrateful at it. Freedom and peace have come at a very high price because those men were willing to sacrifice their entire live for the betterment of their children and humanity because of JESUS CHRIST. Do a lot more studying and research on the subjects.
Unfortunately this includes some very distorted propaganda. The Lusitania was carrying munitions and it's sank because the munition blew up. In 1980 the admiralty warned off salvage crews because there was still live ammunitions on the wreck. The ship sank in 15 minutes very close to land because while there was a small entry hole for the torpedo there was a very large one on the other side where the munitions exploded. Churchill was part of orchestrating this deception.
What I love about learning about historical war is their incredible tactics. Just amazing to watch. With the kind of technology in that time, they adjusted their tactics and develop new machine in just few months. Truly a battle of mental toughness. Watch the WWII and the history of the Ottoman Empire.. You will learned so much how to handle pressure and the beauty of patience.
Back in mid 1990s, I’d spend my summers reading the encyclopedia about world wars, including ww1. I was engrossed with the story and the photos i would see in the pages of our two volumes of encyclopedias. After finishing the ww stories in one encyclopedia brand, I would go and read the other brand. People today are so blessed being able to watch such an amazing animated rendition of ww1. Thank you for this video! ❤
Me too buddy! All we had were books. I remember as a boy going to the public library and reading about countries and their writing systems, the planets of the solar system, the ancient ruins. The pursuit of knowledge was something that had to be planned and executed. I like your statement about this day and age and how everything is just a click away! Like what I am watchi now
@@wailingalen i can imagine how you planned your library “excursions”. I was blessed with the fact that my mom was a fan of reading and bought us books, books with photos, books with just texts on them, small books, huge books, soft cover ones and hard laminated books. Books were the thing a few years back
I think it's interesting how access to information is easier than ever before, but critical thinking seems to be depleting rapidly. I miss the days of skimming encyclopedias and nat geo magazines. We were blessed with the last of the good ol days 😂
The way you put your videos together is SO well done. You are the history teacher we all need. Looking forward for a ww2 video and that is going to go very viral. Great Job Epic!
The narrator's voice is really calming and soothing, I turn on any EPTV episode and just let it run while I do some other stuff just for that mental therapy
All about this video is perfect: the script, the narration, the map and, undoubtedly, the soundtrack. It was so skillfully prepared that I have just found myself watching it for the fourth time in a year. It is not only the best documentary about the WW1 but also should be placed among the best documentaries of all time and topics. As a learner of English, I would like to express special gratitude to the magnificent narrator of this channel as he manages to keep a decent pace while enabling even non-natives to catch his every word.
Recomend: Oversimplified channel, you will have the same vibe as this channel, but more comical xD, both channel are great, in 1 hour they success what school failed in 6 years
OK so I love the channel and the fact you show a massive variety of war history. I am an ex British soldier and have never commented on any RUclips video, ever. This video brought me to tears man. People in their twilight years meeting up after being enemies etc. Ther😢really is good in this world ❤
Big fan of this history, spent a winter reading the entire book by John Keegan on this subject and it was time well spent. Your progam is excellent, especially considering how much material you covered in the span of just over an hour. People tend to gloss over the Dardanelles and the Armenian tragedy, so that was much appreciated. Thank you for putting this all together in an easily digested format. I've subscribed to your channel and I'm enjoying your other content.
It wasn't a genocide. The Armenians betrayed and attacked us in the war. Although they were belong to the Ottoman Empire, they supported Russia. Therefore, we forced them to migrate, the main point of immigration was Anatolia cities not desert. They suffered as a result of immigration yes, so sorry I wish it hadn't. But what else could be done to treason during a war? We also suffered. Most importantly, there was no any genocide. Western media always full in hypocrisy...
Finished All Quiet On The Western Front(netflix) and then immediately went to this masterpiece, WW1, what a war , what a hell those soldiers had to live through in the trenches and during the attacks, may all the soldiers Rest In Peace🙏
Visited Vimy Ridge, in France, with a mate, back in the 80s. Was incredibly moving. We opened, and drank, a bottle of wine, in tribute to all the young lads, on both sides, who fought there. Massive graveyards all over the area......particularly poignant were the gravestones with the Star of David engraved on them, in the German section. Little did they know what was to come.
Seeing how many deaths and casualties WWI caused, you'd think men would never make the same mistake again. But not only WWII took place, we're currently on the verge of yet another world war, as if we learnt nothing from our past mistakes. Human idiocy and greed is indeed inveterate. Terrific video. A real treasure. Can't thank you enough for the colossal effort and the impeccable realization.
Extreme human cruelty, absurdity , greed, ambition, animal instinct, selfishness, especially under “leadership”of those who are in control of great power and supposedly having much greater responsibility and vision , are repeatedly leading mankind into total madness and destruction. Is this the kind of fate by design of GOD that we humans must hopelessly undergo even in the era of AI technology?
As long as we have different peoples, different nationalities, different tribes, different religions, different ideologies, we will always be at war. A One World Government could stop this. And intermarriages between all races until everyone's the same. But we will still look for differences I'm guessing. Everyone wants to be unique
My grand grandfather (*1898) was in Austrohungarian army in battle at Piava river. He killed an italian soldier with a bayonette in tense situation close combat. He worked as explosion engineer in mines in Moravia later in his life.
I love how they keep referring to the map, helps hold the whole documentary together, but then there's all this cool footage that also keeps it so interesting.
A great summary of World War I, when I learned it at school 20 years ago I found it complicated, this visualization helped me to understand better what the main phases were and what strategic concepts did both the Allies and the Central Powers pursue and why the war had such an important impact on modern Europe and today's politics...A big thank you to the whole team for this outstanding work!!! Best regards from Poland, one of the emerging states after the war :) We value the 2nd Republic, Marshal Pilsudski and commemorate it's creation each year on the 11th of November
this is genuinely one of the most informational captivating videos ive ever watched. The explanation paired with the display of the map and extremely well representation of who was fighting where when and who they were fighting against along with the music and absolutely perfect narration makes this easily one of the best videos ive ever seen. So glad i stumbled on this video cause wow I just learned more in an hour than I did about this damn war throughout highschool.
I am a filipino nurse who‘s working here in Germany for almost 6 years during my pre employment interview they asked what i know about Germany and i straight answered the question with a word „War“ because since i was a kid i saw how my father is too fascinated about Wermacht especially with their uniform and Stahlhelm since then me myself also get obsessed with everything related to Germany and it‘s war campaign. Now i am collecting toys and books about WW2 but i never expected that the germans also did it big during WW1. Everyday i‘ve learned something new.. Thank you for this video 👍🏻
Incredible production value! Learned only minor details about WW1 in school, but this video has really shown me how vast in scope it was. The number of casualties is absolutely staggering. Never knew how bad it really got.
I love your history videos man you do an amazing job and it’s crazy to here about all the little battles in the war that led up to the total casualties count it’s kinda sad we gotta go to war just so the government learns nothing from it other than hate
I have studied WW2 ad nauseam. Not taking anything from those brave men and women of that war. But I have been studying WW1 a little over a year now. The intricacies of this wars start is fascinating. And the lessons learned in this war trickled into WW2 and modern warfare. Epic history did a phenomenal job breaking down this epic yet tragic war and the implications it has had on our lives. Thank you Epic History.
Congratulations on producing one of THE greatest documentaries about the First World War. Never before have I seen such a clear comprehensive film that manages to cover the entire history of the War across all fronts in a simple straightforward no nonsense manner. This must've taken months of planning and preparation with many drafts and redrafts in order to boil it down to this excellent presentation. It would be great if you could also break it down into 3 or 4 parts that would make it easier to absorb- the current length is a bit daunting! Well done and thanks for this fantastic resource.
Really fantastic job on this video. It really brings to light just how extensive WWI was and how much of the globe it actually encompassed. It covered so many details that are most often glossed over or just omitted from most Great War documentaries. I thoroughly enjoyed this and look forward to more from your channel.
I'm a jeweler, I recently came across this channel, while I'm working I'm also learning history. Thanks so much for putting in the effort to create such educational content! watching this video makes me appreciate the world i live in!❤
@@ranjittyagi9354 Marjons in Plymouth, it was affiliated with Exeter back then, Renaissance and reformation, and the English revolution/war. (Depending on your views). Was going to carry on towards an ma. So did a couple of extra modules on the Ou. But it never materialised.
Moral of the story: Germany is a beast. It looked like from the start till the end they won most battles and attacks and caused the most damage even though the allies had more troops and basically the whole world on their side. As an Austrian I'm not ashamed to say that Germany carried this fight for us. When I saw The US declared war on Germany I knew it was game over though. I took WW1 in school as it's a huge part of our history, but some things were forgotten so I just wanna thank the people who made this incredible film for making it so detailed and visually amazing :)
To my discredit, I never knew much about WW I. But this utterly gripping documentary has helped to change that. It's an edge-of-your seat thriller accented by stunning casualty figures, perpetual Allied setbacks, and the pointlessness of it all. It gobsmacked me like little else I've learned about in history, Most of all, I was amazed at how truly 'world' this war was. Thank you, Epic History TV, for your substantial contribution to educating people like me about the true scope and cost of war, one whose wages are still being paid today.
I am super amazed with the narrator, his voice gives an awesome air of authority over historical topics like this! Other Historical Channels (mostly on TV) should take note of this

Such a brutal war. Ww2 was heavier in losses and just as horrific, but WWI is so sobering. Just the fact of surviving the beginning to the end of the war is so limited.
Yeah WW1 was, I think, the first war where people started realize that there’s no glory in war. The war started with men so eager to fight for their country and ended with soldiers to had witnessed hell on earth.
I feel like if someone who fought in WW1 watched this they would simultaneously be happy that we haven't forgotten, but also sad that their roughly 4 years of suffering had been condensed into an hour long video.
They would more likely be amazed at how an hour long video could summarize a war like that. What is crazy is an American could have seen the Spanish American war, ww1, ww2, Korea, and Vietnam in their lifetime. They probably would have served in at least one of them and they would have seen how technology in warfare advanced
Just when you hear 150000 casualties and think that's way too much, then you hear 240000 casualties in one battle, on one side and you ask "with such losses, how did they not run out of men?"
By 1913 Europe's total population (including Russia) was 498 million. Around 60 million men were mobilised, with total losses being somewhere around 9 million soldiers. Another 9 million were taken as prisoners. So, that's 18 million, and 21 million men were wounded. So that's 39 million casualties in total. Considering that the total number of fighting men was 60 million, they weren't that far off from running out of men lol. And of course that doesn't even include civilian deaths.
Tsar Nicholas II of Russia ,King George V of UK, and Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany were all cousins , their grandmother were Queen Victoria. Kaiser Wilhelm II once said “If our grandmother, Queen Victoria was alive, she would have stopped us cousins from going into war”
The thing is that none of those kings wanted to go to war. Their generals and diplomats dragged them into it. We overrate the power of monarchs during this era.
The best documentary on this conflict to date. I insist that we need one like this one about the second world war. Congratulations to @epichistorytv, the way you deliver this content is paramount.
Thanks for this animated story! One minor suggestion (actually major in Serbia which was never able to recover from the losses in the Great War) - after the offensive in Northern Greece, led by Serbian troops, the allies didn't stop as your animation shows. Serbs rather continued, as their homes were really nearby (a couple of days march) and they liberated all the territory up to Italy. Again, compared to the entire war bring animated, this isn't anything big.
Greek soldiers said(when Serbian soldiers recovered and together with them went back to Salonica front) that the march of the Serbian army was faster than the pace of their horses, thats how much they loved their country and were willing to sacrifice in order to reclaim whats theirs.
@@StromtrooperV2 Do not forget that the Serb army were quasi-destroyed after 1915, only 120 000 soldiers escaped on 400 000, French mainly equiped and led them (like the famous Franchet d'Esperey). The ferocity of serbians warriors with the French tactics and support were perfect.
@@inhocsignovinces1327 no france tactics,,,only Serbs Djenerals..Vojvoda Zivojin Misic,Duke R.Putnik and others,,because Frnce sand a fake artilery granates,and its nothing for support,and must reparate granats in midle of war..but Serbia is only whu go and take for 1 day 20 km or miles front...Thats the spirit of warior,france giv boat to go on Krf and recover them..nothing realy

@@wackypeace1135 There is no world power from Roman Republic and later Empire to US hegemony today that didn't want that region. Who ever put his ass on Balkans, starts big war... Like US did With South Serbian province Kosovo, now you have same arguments from Russian side according Ukraine which will eventually end in big disaster for whole world.
This channel reminds me of the docu-series back in the 70's titled, "The World at War". Helped me with my history studies. Very disturbing. History has always been my passion. 🌻
What a great educational video detailing the specifics of WW1. Growing up in California I was never given any detailed explanations of WW1 through public schooling. We were taught to memorize a few dates, causality numbers , technological inventions and thats it; I had no idea of the territorial exchanges or the number of countries involved. This education comes at a time where I find it to be truly necessary to the United States and citizens around the globe. As those who do not know their history, are doomed to repeat it.

Wow! Now THIS is superior content! I appreciate the production value and (clearly) hours of labor, love and effort that went into the making of this history program.
Such a wonderful way to present one of the most instrumental events in modern history. This program should be taught in every High school curriculum! It engages people in a visually stunning way that “grab’s” one’s attention like none other!
Fantastic job, Epic History TV!! So happy I found this channel today. You have made a subscriber for life on the first video I’ve ever watched on your channel! Thank you so much.
This video will inspire and enlighten hundreds of thousands or, dare I say, millions of viewers over the years! Bravo!
Feel like I just learned more in one hour than I did during an entire course in school. Incredible video. What an amazing job you guys did here.
Yeah no same. I had absolutely no idea how many countries were involved and the mass casualty rates. It really was a world war
Same I went from knowing nothing about ww1 to knowing everything and this video gave me the interest!
So, you didnt listen in school.. Shame on you!
Absolutely true.
Oh yeah, if you hope to learn history at all, just know it’s not through school
The way school systems teach history is terrible
Thanks for your videos! I enjoy watching them for knowledge and entertainment!

I don`t find it fantastic at all. It doesn't consider so many details we already know. Gerry Docherty & Jim Macgregors view on this war is quite the opposite of this version here. As long as the old story is told, nothing will change. The told story is: Germany starts the war. But it isn't that easy! Germany's not an actor, it is reacting. You might read a lot of books and listen to many historians, but to get a close look on historic truths, you must also read the inconveniant historians and and one must ask oneself whether these alternative views are not plausible. Without learning facts from books like "Hidden history", "Prolonging the agony" and "Wiederkehr der Hasardeure" (transl. return of the hasardeurs), you cannot break up encrusted victors' history and make the truths visible. The only way to prevent history from repeating is to understand the mechanisms that led to mobilisation and declaration of war. The back story is the linchpin.
Mulțumim!All your effort to make this bazzing detailed video's deserves the best!!!

I feel like the scale of destruction in WWI was lost on me as a kid when I first learned about it. It wasn’t until I started learning about earlier conflicts from just a few decades prior that I really started to understand just how unfathomable it must have been.
They just kept sending men to die.
Google Spanish flu 1918
When I was a boy, the men who fought in WWII were in their 50s and 60s, and I talked to several old men in their 70s and 80s who had fought in the "Great War." Some of them knew men in their youth who fought in the American Civil War. It's crazy to think that I "knew the men who knew the men" who encapsulate so much defining history of our nation. I watch this perspective ebbing away, everyone buried in the current petty age. Even if it dies with me, I'll carry it proudly to the end.

Back in mid 1990s, I’d spend my summers reading the encyclopedia about world wars, including ww1. I was engrossed with the story and the photos i would see in the pages of our two volumes of encyclopedias.

Thank you for this video! ❤

Me too buddy! All we had were books. I remember as a boy going to the public library and reading about countries and their writing systems, the planets of the solar system, the ancient ruins.

@@wailingalen i can imagine how you planned your library “excursions”. I was blessed with the fact that my mom was a fan of reading and bought us books, books with photos, books with just texts on them, small books, huge books, soft cover ones and hard laminated books.

I think it's interesting how access to information is easier than ever before, but critical thinking seems to be depleting rapidly. I miss the days of skimming encyclopedias and nat geo magazines. We were blessed with the last of the good ol days 😂
The amount of people who died in this war was unreal.... young teenagers from all parts. R.i.p to all the troops.

@@EpichistoryTv Can you make a ww2 of this
It wasn't a genocide. The Armenians betrayed and attacked us in the war. Although they were belong to the Ottoman Empire, they supported Russia. Therefore, we forced them to migrate, the main point of immigration was Anatolia cities not desert. They suffered as a result of immigration yes, so sorry I wish it hadn't. But what else could be done to treason during a war? We also suffered. Most importantly, there was no any genocide. Western media always full in hypocrisy...

Visited Vimy Ridge, in France, with a mate, back in the 80s. Was incredibly moving. We opened, and drank, a bottle of wine, in tribute to all the young lads, on both sides, who fought there. Massive graveyards all over the area......particularly poignant were the gravestones with the Star of David engraved on them, in the German section. Little did they know what was to come.
Seeing how many deaths and casualties WWI caused, you'd think men would never make the same mistake again. But not only WWII took place, we're currently on the verge of yet another world war, as if we learnt nothing from our past mistakes. Human idiocy and greed is indeed inveterate.
Terrific video. A real treasure. Can't thank you enough for the colossal effort and the impeccable realization.
Extreme human cruelty, absurdity , greed, ambition, animal instinct, selfishness, especially under “leadership”of those who are in control of great power and supposedly having much greater responsibility and vision , are repeatedly leading mankind into total madness and destruction. Is this the kind of fate by design of GOD that we humans must hopelessly undergo even in the era of AI technology?

Never before have I seen such a clear comprehensive film that manages to cover the entire history of the War across all fronts in a simple straightforward no nonsense manner.

Moral of the story: Germany is a beast.

What a great way to learn a general overview of the war and how different fronts emerged.
I feel like if someone who fought in WW1 watched this they would simultaneously be happy that we haven't forgotten, but also sad that their roughly 4 years of suffering had been condensed into an hour long video.
Better one hour than nothing at all. Video was excellent for us armchair historians who have read some books on the topic, to refresh our memory.
This is an amazing hour well spent
They would more likely be amazed at how an hour long video could summarize a war like that. What is crazy is an American could have seen the Spanish American war, ww1, ww2, Korea, and Vietnam in their lifetime. They probably would have served in at least one of them and they would have seen how technology in warfare advanced
Just when you hear 150000 casualties and think that's way too much, then you hear 240000 casualties in one battle, on one side and you ask "with such losses, how did they not run out of men?"
Rewritten history... the "his"-story doesn't even make sense as you pointed out... but empty heads buy into any BS.
one general said these are commoners we have more of them.
By 1913 Europe's total population (including Russia) was 498 million. Around 60 million men were mobilised, with total losses being somewhere around 9 million soldiers. Another 9 million were taken as prisoners. So, that's 18 million, and 21 million men were wounded. So that's 39 million casualties in total. Considering that the total number of fighting men was 60 million, they weren't that far off from running out of men lol. And of course that doesn't even include civilian deaths.

Thanks for this animated story!
One minor suggestion (actually major in Serbia which was never able to recover from the losses in the Great War) - after the offensive in Northern Greece, led by Serbian troops, the allies didn't stop as your animation shows. Serbs rather continued, as their homes were really nearby (a couple of days march) and they liberated all the territory up to Italy.
Again, compared to the entire war bring animated, this isn't anything big.
Greek soldiers said(when Serbian soldiers recovered and together with them went back to Salonica front) that the march of the Serbian army was faster than the pace of their horses, thats how much they loved their country and were willing to sacrifice in order to reclaim whats theirs.
@@StromtrooperV2 Do not forget that the Serb army were quasi-destroyed after 1915, only 120 000 soldiers escaped on 400 000, French mainly equiped and led them (like the famous Franchet d'Esperey). The ferocity of serbians warriors with the French tactics and support were perfect.
@@inhocsignovinces1327 no france tactics,,,only Serbs Djenerals..Vojvoda Zivojin Misic,Duke R.Putnik and others,,because Frnce sand a fake artilery granates,and its nothing for support,and must reparate granats in midle of war..but Serbia is only whu go and take for 1 day 20 km or miles front...Thats the spirit of warior,france giv boat to go on Krf and recover them..nothing realy
Absolutely outstanding work. To summarize such an important part of human history in one hour so well is incredible. The presentation, the narration. All of it for free. I have made a small donation. Thank you!
The effort you guys put into these are astonishing and it doesn't go unrecognized.
Love this so much. The music, the narration, the visuals, the pace, detail, everything. Well done.
Ive always wondered why world war 1 was named like that. I only read and understood the war in Europe and never understood how massive and how every continent was invovled in the war. Great video! Learned something new!
Absolutely fantastic video! The narration, visual representations, diagrams, depth of content! Really encapsulates this period of history.
This was so incredibly well-put together - and I want to thank you so much for having done so. You really made History an affair of suspense and interest - the narration was impeccable, and so was the script and animation. Such a wonderful way to educate oneself - I look forward to watching more of your stuff! Once again, grateful 🙏 😃👋❤️
94th liked🚬🗿
Agreed amazing!!
This format was stolen even the music was stolen from oversimplified
@@dyadace5093 I am pretty sure they did it much better than oversimplified, they are much more detailed info about WW1, and the video for WW1 from oversimplified is kind of vague
Bravoooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!
Here's the thing. I try really hard not to watch your videos. I turn on Unhook, I close tabs, I keep my work in front of me. Because I don't think I have ever clicked on one of your videos and not watched the entire thing, no matter what time it is, how tired I am, how busy or behind I am. I mean I don't even like history! I was a freaking math major. That's how good this channel is. You hook me in the first 30 seconds. Well played, EHTV ... well played.
Incredible isn’t it?!
It's amazing that small country of Serbia was standing against such a powerful enemy, and even made central powers to seek Bulgarian assistance
And you think Serbia stood alone??? behind the scenes, there was more funds than you can imagine in your life time. Every war is planned, on both sides.
They divide macedonia with greece during the balkan wars also try to make the local population there serbian/greek with force and atrocities ,so was matter of time Bulgaria to join because of it , pretty much the only good allie Germany had in this war ,Austria was so trash that its just sad watching it,dying ottomans too are sad picture in the field.
It's because no one really wanted it, they had bigger fish to fry and prizes installed
@@wackypeace1135 There is no world power from Roman Republic and later Empire to US hegemony today that didn't want that region. Who ever put his ass on Balkans, starts big war... Like US did With South Serbian province Kosovo, now you have same arguments from Russian side according Ukraine which will eventually end in big disaster for whole world.
Same happened in second war, and in 90is against the NWO. Serbs never back up when they fight for freedom
This channel reminds me of the docu-series back in the 70's titled, "The World at War". Helped me with my history studies. Very disturbing. History has always been my passion. 🌻
What a great educational video detailing the specifics of WW1. Growing up in California I was never given any detailed explanations of WW1 through public schooling. We were taught to memorize a few dates, causality numbers , technological inventions and thats it; I had no idea of the territorial exchanges or the number of countries involved. This education comes at a time where I find it to be truly necessary to the United States and citizens around the globe. As those who do not know their history, are doomed to repeat it.
