    I hope you enjoy our complete history of World War One - 'the war to end all wars'. This series - produced in 2015 - has been re-edited and re-released in 2022, as previous versions were age-restricted by RUclips (presumably because human remains were visible in a few photographs - though always in a clearly historical, non-sensationalist context. The precise reason is never given by RUclips. For those interested in what an 18+ history video looks like, you can watch the previous version here: ruclips.net/video/GG0LY8OLBG8/видео.html). Unpredictable decisions by RUclips can make life quite uncertain for military history creators, which is why we are so grateful to all our supporters at Patreon - please consider joining their ranks! www.patreon.com/EpicHistoryTV

      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.

    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.

      This type of individuals created the freedoms and luxuries you enjoy while been ignorant and ungrateful at it.

      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.

      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...

    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.

    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.

    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.
