The British had promised India would get independence if Indians got conscripted in the war. The number of Indians who participated in the war was immense as a result, with even Mahatma Gandhi encouraging everyone to get conscripted. And when the war was over, the British gave India a masterpiece: A gate in New Delhi with the names of all the soldiers martyred on it.
the same happened in ww2, british told congress they would give smth after ww2, but they weren't clarifying what. So this time Gandhi and congress opposed british in ww2 while subhash chandra bose's INA joined hands with hitler and Japan. Though congress was against nazism.
@Carey Wang Well They mostly lost because the U.S enterd the war When the U.S Joined the war Germany knew the war was turning against them so they tried to attack but the more they attacked the weaker they got.
The last living veteran of World War I was Florence Green, a British citizen who served in the Allied armed forces, and who died 4 February 2012, aged 110.
Fun fact: When the Treaty of Versailles was signed, Marshall Foch (who was present at the signing), said of it, “It is not a peace treaty, it’s an armistice for twenty years.” He was right.
He said it because he felt that the treaty should be more harsh and France should occupy the Rhineland, so that Germans would be perpetually incapable of any revenge. So he was factually correct, but if people listened to him, Germany would have been in much worse shape
Sadly, Germany seems to have had a few leaders who knew the future but couldn't do anything to fix it - Otto Von Bismarck forecast the end of the Kaiser to within 4 months (the forecast was for about 20 years in the future). Sounds like Foch was also prescient.
Red Polscorp expect no, in ww2, it wasn’t the winter that stoped the german, it was a successful counter attack done my one of russia’s greatest generals. The winter was just the “icing” on the cake.

Some germans and french even experienced 3 wars. Towards the end of the 1800s there also was a big war between germany and france. There were families on both sides that lost grandfathers, fathers and sons.
WW1. Austria: You are doing great! Germany: I'm doing everything. WW2. Italy: You are doing great! Germany: I'm doing everything. No wonder why Germany struggles a lot. It's always facing the whole world "almost" alone. Also the U. S. are always like: Let's wait until everyone is weakened so we look freaking powerful, hehe.
Exactly if America had entered the war from the very beginning they would’ve been getting their asses handed to them just like the British and French and maybe even due to casualties been forced to pull out of the war by the angry American people who did not see a point in sending men to die in a European war

Doesn't mean they're a bunch of sissies though. When Hitler wanted to invade them in WWII every civilian was armed, 400,000 men were enlisted into the military, and they were explicitly told by the government to fight to the last man. (Even if the government fell they told the citizens to keep fighting.)
@@tomfischer3210 a lot of schools in many countries don't take history seriously, in the U.S. the education is different from state to state so there are some states that takes history seriously while sadly there are some that don't.

How to win at Trench Warfare: (1.) Tunnel under your own Frontline Trenches. (2.) Bait enemy to attack/ advance. (3.) Pour out like Army-Ants and delete them. Long version: Build large systems of tunnels _underneath_ Your trench system, with many well-concealed entrances/ exits to the tunnels all throughout your trench system. Keep up the ruse, fighting up in the trenches, keeping the trenches fully-manned, for months, making sure the stand-off is believable, and that there's time to dig/ build the tunnels, plus enough barracks rooms and command facilities, ammunition storage, etc. Use counter-intelligence operations to make the enemy think they can pull off a major attack. You'll want their attack to be as large as possible, but not so large that they continue advancing past your first, Frontline trenches. You'll want a bit of a second no-man's land dividing your Frontline trenches with your second line of trenches that you can retreat to. If you have to, you can build the tunnels under your Frontline trenches very quickly, like Viet-Cong style. But if there's more time, then larger, cleaner, more spacious, more structurally- sound tunnels would be good, not just for troop morale, health, and safety, but also for increasing the effectiveness of quickly moving large numbers of troops, and also staging a sizeable force down there. You'll also want multiple tunnels that connect back to your secondary line of trenches, so your forces can be moved in to the tunnel without detection, stay well-supplied, and retreat if necessary. As for above-ground connecting trenches between you Frontline trenches and your second-tier trenches, you'll want to close those off or fill them in, so that when the enemy takes the bait and occupies your Frontline trenches, they won't be able to advance to your second-tier with cover. You'll be connected by tunnels, so filling-in the connecting above-ground corridors will help further-sell the idea that your line was vulnerable, and you were planning a retreat. You'll need that second No-Man's land to keep the enemy from advancing further. When the enemy advances, feign an above -ground retreat in the trenches, so that the enemy moves into your Frontline trenches in-force. Let them settle in, while lightly peppering them with small-arms fire from your secondary-line of trenches. But only shoot enough to keep them where they are. Hopefully they'll bring in reinforcements on top of their initial assault troops. All your extra troops who've been in reserve down below in the tunnels will wait for one of two things to happen, to then attack in a massive, close-quarters ambush: (1.), an enemy soldier accidentally bonks his helmet or rifle on the wall of the trench, and hears it strike wood, instead of the dirt that's covering the hidden door/ hatch, and he's about to investigate. If half of your troops below are constantly standing by, ready to pour out, then the other half that's sleeping, would have just enough time to grab their weapons and rush to their designated attack-point. If one of the concealed entrances is discovered, and this instantly triggers your ambush, you'll still have the element of surprise. (2.) If none of the concealed entrances are discovered, you can intentionally plan the attack however you like. Let the enemy get comfortable, hit them while they're sleeping, or hit them while your retreated-trench-troops have a firefight across no-man's land with your house-guests above; or hit them during an artillery bombardment when the enemy think there's no possible way anyone is crossing no-man's land; etc., whatever you want. If you can manage to prevent even a single enemy troop from escaping your ambush, you can do this more than once, and take some serious chunks out of the enemy's total forces. But your ambush would need to have enough tunnel-egress points into the trenches, to instantly occupy every last enemy soldier, so that none of them can Get a radio message off before they die. Any enemy weigh a radio would be the #1 target. That would be the ultimate battle-victory, if the enemy leadership, back behind their own lines, thought their Frontline trench-troops all died under the normal circumstances of trench warfare. They'd move more troops to the front and you could start over with the same plan. Depending on the original layout of your Frontline trench system, you could have all the tunnel entrances in places where soldiers would be unlikely to hang-out, like little, recessed, dead-end split-offs from the main walkways. You wouldn't want your ambush troops to open their concealed hatch right in the middle of a main trench walkway, where there could be dozens of soldiers within a few meters, all ready to fight. Maybe you could _only_ put rain coverings over parts of the main sections of the trenches, and do the ambush during a heavy rain, when the exposed little dead-end inlets won't have a bunch of enemy soldiers sitting around smoking or whatever. The more troops you can get through and out the concealed doors, without instantly getting shot at, the more overwhelmed the enemy will be. You'd have to get creative though, because the enemy will be using your own trench while facing backwards. So what used to be rear-wall storage-inlets, are now on the side that's facing your retreated forces. So your Frontline trench has to have at least two main, parallel trenches, so that you can count on where they'll mainly be. But if you dig these storage inlets into the front (what's originally the front) of your trench, that might look very suspicious. So your Frontline trench would have to be engineered specifically for this strategy, with a connected, parallel, rear-main trench that the enemy would naturally use to face your retreated troops. That would leave your original Frontline trench at their backs. This would've been so much shorter if I could just draw a picture!
I disagree with this never ending blaming of Rasputin for this and that, it's totally wrong. First of all he was against the war, very loud opponent of it, actually, and that's why he was killed.

I've been to Verdun this summer (vacation). It's probably the saddest and bloodiest place I've ever visited. Walked through the trenches, visited Verdun(town)and also visited the cementary (Douaumont ossuary). The cementary hit me so hard, I've cried for what felt like ages. There was no sound, no cars passing by, no birds singing, no wind. So many graves as far as your eyes can see. If you find ww1 interesting, go and visit Verdun but I can tell you this: you won't come back home the same. Thnx for the video✌️
thanks for don't make Jokes over the countries in war. R.I.P. to all dead soldiers, and to all viewer, don't make jokes about this war, Serbia had the most victims, over a third of all men!! we live in comfort today, faced never a war, so we should be grateful for that!
If you've ever been in Switzerland it's not difficult to see why: 1) Almost no resources worth fighting for. 2) No big threat to anbody around since their army was and still is too small to occupy bigger territories. 3) The Alps are a deathtrap for ever army you send in. Just like the 300 greeks hold a narrow path vs a huge army, the small swiss army + their trained and armed civilian could shut down the valleys and defend them vs much larger troops. Today besides their many bunkers in the mountains they have massive retractable barriers in the valleys to stop any army movement. Also the Alps are no easy target for any aircrafts.
I'd love to see him go back and remake these videos. I really enjoy the long format of the newer ones, the inclusion of humor, and the more in depth bits. He gives a lot more exposition and includes more historical figures in his newer videos and I think it works well.
I honestly think that's a possibility, the 5 year anniversary of this Channel is coming up soon, he hasn't uploaded for a while and he's said he isn't proud of this video, so I think his next video could very well be a remake of WW1
Wuanslm yeah, let’s face it: we weren’t prepared for any war at that time. Winter is okay, because Finland is in the same climate zones as St. Petersburg or Murmansk, so snow and ice aren’t new. But war then your army is fresh from another political cleansing... a lot of professional officers from imperial army were recognized as unreliables long before that, because, you know, they weren’t communists. And new wave of people with real war experience from WW I and civil war was also not good enough, because, you know, political reasons. And then you terrorized your commanding officers for several years and killed a lot of competent people, a brand new war isn’t a good idea. So, yes, it was very ironic. Tragic, unnecessary and also ironic.
FishFossils this is matter of debate, because imho country lost a lot of opportunities for cultural, scientific an economic exchange. And we can’t simply separate ideology and say: capitalism 1: communism 0. The most bad thing is that all this matter still affect countries and social options.
My Great Grandfather fought in WW1. His Name was Joseph Young. He was Native American so they didn't give a shit about him or his friends he enlisted with. His battalion were put on the front lines. They were either killed or captured. My grandfather was one of the captured. The Germans never seen a person with brown skin before. So they asked my grandfather who he was, and where he came from. He told them he was a Native American Cree and he came from Manitoba. They told him this wasn't his fight and let him free. If the Germans didn't spare my grandfather and let him go, he wouldn't have had a family, and I'd never have been born. *EDIT:* I didn't think this would get much attention. It did. If you believe me, that's awesome. If not, that's less awesome. But I'm proud of my grandfather, Joe Young. So fuck all y'all
when the americans arrived in 1917, the first thing they did was to fight like the french and british did at the beginning of the war : huge frontal assault. It was a mistake due to a lack of experience in a moment where the french and british didn't use this strategy anymore.
Quick fact about the battle of Jutland, both main fleets had actually been patrolling for months in these waters, accompanied on the british side by seaplanes and german side by zeppelins for air reconnaissance, because they actually did want a fight. Second fact, the battle of Jutland happened literally the one time both sides had no air recon. Both fleets found eachother by pure luck.
China Boiii Austria started it even though they didn’t know if Serbia did or not. If germany hadn’t joined the war then Austria would have fought them because of the treaty so it was easier fighting Serbia then Austria

Bulgaria is also carring. Got rid of Serbia and Romania. And didn't really have much of a punishment when the war was over.

@@morganrenders3139 ?
How to win at Trench Warfare:
(1.) Tunnel under your own Frontline Trenches. (2.) Bait enemy to attack/ advance. (3.) Pour out like Army-Ants and delete them.
Long version:
Build large systems of tunnels _underneath_ Your trench system, with many well-concealed entrances/ exits to the tunnels all throughout your trench system.
Keep up the ruse, fighting up in the trenches, keeping the trenches fully-manned, for months, making sure the stand-off is believable, and that there's time to dig/ build the tunnels, plus enough barracks rooms and command facilities, ammunition storage, etc.
Use counter-intelligence operations to make the enemy think they can pull off a major attack. You'll want their attack to be as large as possible, but not so large that they continue advancing past your first, Frontline trenches. You'll want a bit of a second no-man's land dividing your Frontline trenches with your second line of trenches that you can retreat to.
If you have to, you can build the tunnels under your Frontline trenches very quickly, like Viet-Cong style. But if there's more time, then larger, cleaner, more spacious, more structurally- sound tunnels would be good, not just for troop morale, health, and safety, but also for increasing the effectiveness of quickly moving large numbers of troops, and also staging a sizeable force down there.
You'll also want multiple tunnels that connect back to your secondary line of trenches, so your forces can be moved in to the tunnel without detection, stay well-supplied, and retreat if necessary. As for above-ground connecting trenches between you Frontline trenches and your second-tier trenches, you'll want to close those off or fill them in, so that when the enemy takes the bait and occupies your Frontline trenches, they won't be able to advance to your second-tier with cover. You'll be connected by tunnels, so filling-in the connecting above-ground corridors will help further-sell the idea that your line was vulnerable, and you were planning a retreat.
You'll need that second No-Man's land to keep the enemy from advancing further.
When the enemy advances, feign an above -ground retreat in the trenches, so that the enemy moves into your Frontline trenches in-force. Let them settle in, while lightly peppering them with small-arms fire from your secondary-line of trenches. But only shoot enough to keep them where they are. Hopefully they'll bring in reinforcements on top of their initial assault troops.
All your extra troops who've been in reserve down below in the tunnels will wait for one of two things to happen, to then attack in a massive, close-quarters ambush:
(1.), an enemy soldier accidentally bonks his helmet or rifle on the wall of the trench, and hears it strike wood, instead of the dirt that's covering the hidden door/ hatch, and he's about to investigate. If half of your troops below are constantly standing by, ready to pour out, then the other half that's sleeping, would have just enough time to grab their weapons and rush to their designated attack-point. If one of the concealed entrances is discovered, and this instantly triggers your ambush, you'll still have the element of surprise.
(2.) If none of the concealed entrances are discovered, you can intentionally plan the attack however you like. Let the enemy get comfortable, hit them while they're sleeping, or hit them while your retreated-trench-troops have a firefight across no-man's land with your house-guests above; or hit them during an artillery bombardment when the enemy think there's no possible way anyone is crossing no-man's land; etc., whatever you want.
If you can manage to prevent even a single enemy troop from escaping your ambush, you can do this more than once, and take some serious chunks out of the enemy's total forces. But your ambush would need to have enough tunnel-egress points into the trenches, to instantly occupy every last enemy soldier, so that none of them can Get a radio message off before they die. Any enemy weigh a radio would be the #1 target.
That would be the ultimate battle-victory, if the enemy leadership, back behind their own lines, thought their Frontline trench-troops all died under the normal circumstances of trench warfare. They'd move more troops to the front and you could start over with the same plan.
Depending on the original layout of your Frontline trench system, you could have all the tunnel entrances in places where soldiers would be unlikely to hang-out, like little, recessed, dead-end split-offs from the main walkways. You wouldn't want your ambush troops to open their concealed hatch right in the middle of a main trench walkway, where there could be dozens of soldiers within a few meters, all ready to fight.
Maybe you could _only_ put rain coverings over parts of the main sections of the trenches, and do the ambush during a heavy rain, when the exposed little dead-end inlets won't have a bunch of enemy soldiers sitting around smoking or whatever.
The more troops you can get through and out the concealed doors, without instantly getting shot at, the more overwhelmed the enemy will be. You'd have to get creative though, because the enemy will be using your own trench while facing backwards. So what used to be rear-wall storage-inlets, are now on the side that's facing your retreated forces. So your Frontline trench has to have at least two main, parallel trenches, so that you can count on where they'll mainly be.
But if you dig these storage inlets into the front (what's originally the front) of your trench, that might look very suspicious. So your Frontline trench would have to be engineered specifically for this strategy, with a connected, parallel, rear-main trench that the enemy would naturally use to face your retreated troops. That would leave your original Frontline trench at their backs.
This would've been so much shorter if I could just draw a picture!
The British tried this and then the Germans started doing the same thing so it didn't change much.

Same thing happened WWII. They’ve got serious conenctions on both ends
It's them Swiss banks the pockets are deep.
If you've ever been in Switzerland it's not difficult to see why: 1) Almost no resources worth fighting for. 2) No big threat to anbody around since their army was and still is too small to occupy bigger territories. 3) The Alps are a deathtrap for ever army you send in. Just like the 300 greeks hold a narrow path vs a huge army, the small swiss army + their trained and armed civilian could shut down the valleys and defend them vs much larger troops. Today besides their many bunkers in the mountains they have massive retractable barriers in the valleys to stop any army movement. Also the Alps are no easy target for any aircrafts.

political cleansing... a lot of professional officers from imperial army were recognized as unreliables long before that, because, you know, they weren’t communists.

And then you terrorized your commanding officers for several years and killed a lot of competent people, a brand new war isn’t a good idea.

His battalion were put on the front lines. They were either killed or captured. My grandfather was one of the captured.
The Germans never seen a person with brown skin before. So they asked my grandfather who he was, and where he came from. He told them he was a Native American Cree and he came from Manitoba.
They told him this wasn't his fight and let him free.

when the americans arrived in 1917, the first thing they did was to fight like the french and british did at the beginning of the war : huge frontal assault. It was a mistake due to a lack of experience in a moment where the french and british didn't use this strategy anymore.

2:42 Important detail, if I remember correctly it's believed the Lusitania was transporting war materials to Britain, making it a legitimate target.
It was carrying ammunition but it still swayed public opinion just because it has Americans on board
@@randomaccount4950 Yeah, all I'm saying is that if anything this was an American war crime (committed before they officially joined the war) and not a German one...
yep! and it also sank in 18 minutes. it was a disaster because they barely had any time to evacuate and most lifeboats couldn't be launched successfully. it's surprising over 700 people survived
War rages in Europe!

Spain, Switzerland, and Sweden: Gonna pretend I didn't see that
Edit: This comment is referring to actually joining the wars, not just giving economic aid and resources to a certain side or country, this is also only talking about European countries because that’s where most of the fighting took place.
sweden kinda had a part in WWII coz they exported some iron ore to germany

America mastered the art of third partying long before gamers
Marcus they’ll then try and claim they won it
@@Harrisonc06 The Americans were in a better position in literally every way after both world wars, while most other countries were either weakened or collapsed entirely. So ya, that does sound like a win.

@@loganwilliams4711 I mean they pretty much just jumped into the war when Germany was at its weakest so barely changed much
@@loganwilliams4711 Would you say I won a marathon if I just jump in during the last mile and cross the line?
Have a document test coming up soon, I’ve watched this twice now, great refresher. Hope you cover more history like this 👍

@roasted pancakes Yeah the Pearl Harbor theory is especially infuriating.
We're fashionably late as usual.
In fairness though, joining in WWII made a pretty big difference.
@roasted pancakes doubt people would call it a warmongering nation. If it joined at the beginning of ww1 it would’ve looked the exact same as France, Russia, UK and Germany who all joined because of an alliance. Same in ww2 if it joined with the UK and France where it would’ve looked normal as protecting Poland albeit unsuccessfully.
@@maxdavis7722 Yeah, because it’s not like we get blamed and stereotyped for anything else bad that we’re involved in.
(No, I’m totally not annoyed about it).
@@agent_sus3273 well it does get called a warmongering nation because america has been involved in a huge amount of wars since ww1 and ww2 and has escalated the situation of every single one whilst not always achieving a great amount of things. It wouldn’t be called a warmongering nation just for joining ww1 which was my point.

Schools should hire oversimplified as their history teacher, he oversimplifies any hard history lesson, he could teach the students history in just 5 mins
