Moritz von Schwarz Thanks. Went to Wien last year and it was wonderful. Tsardom( kingdom) of Bulgaria was one of the most prosperous countries in that time but sadly after we were occupied in 1944 by the soviets we lost our pace and become a lazy and poor country. We never reunited with Macedonia and the rest of our lands and sadly probably never will because of the soviet propaganda. You, Hungary and Germany were always our friends.

What's really sad is that during the complete lack of movement on the Western Front, from about 1915 to 1918, something like 4 million people were killed, with like two or three times more wounded.
If Germany didn't panic when the Russians crossed the border at the beginning of the war they would've taken far more land. Not necessarily Paris but a considerably higher amount of land than they did in our timeline.

If Central Powers lost the war it is not because Ottomans or Austrians did poorly it is because Germany's diplomacy. Litterally against the whole world at some point.
The Germans are totally not gonna win, the British have sea blockade on Germany, the Germans already have lack of supplies. The central powers are loss a lot of man and they still have to face with lots of enemies even the Russians were quit. Don’t think that the Germans were gonna win just because they get a lot of land from Russia
simon199418 To be more precise, it was the Serbs. Serbian army was retreated in Greece due to strong attack of AH in 1915. After recovering, three years later, Serbs were major force of the allies counterattack on the Macedonian or Salonika front. German Emperor Kaiser Wilhelm wrote in a telegram to the Bulgarian supreme command: "62.000 Serbian soldiers have determined the outcome of this war. For shame!"
Yeah but Baku is a pretty strategic location, it was basically one of the biggest oil producer in the world back then, Ottomans couldn't just sit still and let allies take it. Plus the government of Azerbaijan invited ottomans themselves to help free Baku and stop the genocide

For example, the intervention by 21 countries into Russia, the Russian-Polish war 1920-1921 and the Spanish civil war.
Can't stop to be amazed by germany's performance during ww1. Had Austria-Hungary not been near collapse. and were on the same level of Germany, would it be "bye bye Russia" Same goes for the Ottoman Empire.
It was already bye bye Russia, that happend. It would have been bye bye France, Greece, and Italy for sure, and probably bye bye to a couple of Britain's colonies. (aka Egypt and Sudan)
MrGeorge7062 Well, these nations did also claim territory which were at the point more Turkish than Armenian, Assyrian or Greek (with the exception of Armenia) but indeed the Ottomans did do great horror/genocide in the late of the war, primarily because of nationalism "Turkey for the Turkish" etc. Nationalism tends to make such actions unfortunatly.
+Justin Vincenti There's more to winning a war than taking over a lot of land. The central powers were running low on food and raw materials (Germany and Austria-Hungary), lacking industrial capacity (Austria-Hungary and Ottoman Empire), and plagued with internal issues posed by different minority groups (All three, more prominent in Austria-Hungary and Ottoman Empire).
+Justin Vincenti What FluffPa said. Also the allies made gains towards the end that look small on the map but were highly significant -look at France and Italy towards the end, and the speed with which the fronts are moving. The Central Powers could have kept fighting, but it would just have meant more deaths and probably less favourable peace terms.

Small nitpick. The Treaty of Bucharest was the treaty to end Romania’s participation in the Great War. The Region known as Dobruja would be split in two by the Central Powers. The southern parts would be annexed by Bulgaria, the Northern parts would become a joint-occupation zone for all four central powers in order to supply their nations with food and oil to continue the war due to the British blockade on Germany. Bulgaria, would beg the other Central Powers to let them annex the rest of Dobruja. 5 days before they capitulated to the Triple Entente, they got their wish and got the rest of Dobruja, though again, they’d only own it for like 5 days before their capitulation. And the region would be handed back to Romania in the Treaty of Versailles. Sorry for nitpicking small details, but I’m just a huge history nerd and can’t help it sometimes.
I saw this back in 2013, today I remembered the song and entered my old mapping channel to search this video... and RUclips literally recomended it to me!
Winning the war isn't just taking over a lot of land. They were running low on supplies, Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire were dissolving. Almost all people in the army were dead, and they were fighting against basically the rest of the world. The war was impossible to continue. - Jan Novotny
Interesting. Have read more about the Second World War. But this daily map gave a very good illustration of how this war progressed over these four years. Thank you for sharing this video.
You pretty much forgot the first Austro-Hungarian offensive on Serbia. During that offensive, Austro-Hungarian army managed to get all the way along the Kolubara river, occupying a big chunk of north-western Serbia including Belgrade itself, and Serbs managed to push them away completely only couple of days after, taking a small piece of Bosnia as well. But who gives a shit about the Balkan front, right?
Honestly, this is one of THE best videos on youtube in my opinion. The music is epic, the movements are almost completely accurate, and the dates are also accurate. My only problem with this video is that you didn't show any of the Red, White, ethnic minority, or Czechoslovak armies fighting in the former Russian Empire after the Revolution, (nor did you show Kalmykia trying to become independent) but that's a minor point. But was the Western Front really that still? Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought Verdun and Somme should've caused at least a few temporary noticeable changes. Also, didn't Austria-Hungary launch a full-scale invasion of Serbia in the first few months of the war (they were driven back quickly, but they actually got deep into Serbia; almost to the Greek border). But overall, this is a great video. My favorite parts were when the music turned all sinister when Bulgaria entered the war and Serbia was torn apart; Bulgaria is always overlooked when people discuss World War I since they always focus on the Western Front and only give a bit of attention to the East and only think about the Ottomans when they look at the Balkans and Middle East. That part made the Bulgarians look badass. I also love the ending parts when the music turned all sad after the Central Powers started to annex land from/establish vassal states in the territory they won in the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk and the Treaty of Bucharest. This was especially fitting when the Ottoman Empire started occupying Armenia and the CPR was occupied by Germany. I also liked how the music started turning heroic/epic and Persia was reoccupied by the allies just as the Ottoman Turks finished occupying Armenia and how Bulgaria and the Ottoman Empire were forced into Armistice immediately afterwards.

Most gained areas in the east after 1917 only played a minor role in support of the central powers. Ukraine wasn't much of a help to Germany; they were a minor client state. In september 1918, the Greeks and Brits broke through the Macedonian defense line, forcing Bulgaria to surrender. The Ottoman Empire was near collapse after the Brits and Arabs conquered all areas in the south. Austria-Hungary was near collapse as well, and with the millitary basically completely destroyed, and Greek and Italian forces closing in from both sides, they did not have much of a choice but to surrender as well. With the other 3 centrals gone, The Allies breaking through the western front and advancing into Belgium, and military being starved and near revolution, Germany had to surrender as well. Also remember that the allies controled the entire Meditteranean Sea and the Central Powers had difficulty getting supplies.
This war wasn't about taking land, it was all about attrition. The central powers supplies had been completely drained out, Lawrence of Arabia had captured Baghdad and severed ottoman supply lines, and Germany had to surrender. I actually wrote an essay for my history exam on why Germany had to surrender and the basic jist is: The United States had entered the war, a fresh completely new army with fresh supplies, the was a massive hit to German morale and a boost to the allies, Germany's allies had surrendered leaving them all alone, British naval blockade had drained German supplies and last of all Germany was being pushed back onto their own territory.
This video is two-dimensional and unlike the second world war many fronts may ware on a stalemate they still suffered huge losses and a British seablockade caused a bigger becoming shortage of food.
Why neither Suomi nor Tigerstar didn't added the states breaking independence from Austria-Hungary in october-november 1918 like it was shown with Russia in 1917-1918?

Just thinking, but what if... The Germans had turned around the Schlieffen Plan?: Leaving some forces at the heavily fortified Franco-German Border while transporting all remaining Armies to the East to deal with Russia first? Seeing how much damage Hindenburg and Ludendorff did with only one Army in 1914, what could *five* Armies have done? Plus, no march through Belgium = No causus belli for Britain to enter the war.
France would have gone through Belguim and GB would have entered the war anyway, Belguim was an excuse, not a cause. But you are right, it might have changed the war.
+John Poindexter I doubt France would have gone through Belgium, in all likelihood Britain would have declared war on Germany anyway but it would have been much later (Like months to years later).
the french explicitly stated that under no circumstances would they enter Belgium until the germans did. and I think the British would join the french almost immediately after the fighting started regardless of entry through belgium. the French and English were in bed with each other for several years before 1914
FDR and Churchill + Stalin promised a free world for everyone. I guess not all promises and statements make the deal. The French would get desperate and probably invade Belgium.
Belgium was never fully taken. My great grandfather was fighting along our king ( Albert I ) during WWI. A small region behind "de ijzer" ( the iron ) a small river in west flanders, Belgium outlasted the war. Our king knew we could never fight Germany, however, he knew he could perfectly block them in their march.,.
Should have just fought with the entente and take Bulgaria and then fight austria hungary its a win for the ottomans then because they get the to keep there empire of turkey syria iraq palestine jordan and hejaz while also taking european lands and getting to join the leauge of nations after that I mean come on whats a better deal
It's amazing how Germany was still able to dig deeper into Northern France even in June 1918! This war was a lot closer than everyone thinks and perhaps the central powers may have won if America didn't intervene
Everyone got hyped and Germany was like "Let me cook. Just trust the process, bro.", but they quickly understood that they're the only prestige level player with a bunch of casuals in the team. This really brings back memories of having to carry the whole squad and they get the audacity to call you trash when you lost.

I'm bulgarian and I can stay that bulgaria entered the war with one thing in mind - to unify all bulgarians in one country - at that time South Serbia, Macedonia and Northern Greece were considered bulgarian lands by our people and indeed they were inhabited mostly by bulgarians. We enterd this war becasue we couldn\t achieve bulgarian unification in the previous Balkan Wars where Greece, Serbia, Romania united against us with just one aim - to take bulgarian lands. We entered WW1 to regain those lands back and Germany promised that if victourious they will be ours for good. Notice that Bulgaria took just the territories that we considered ours and we didn't want to go beyond that.
Boris Georgiev Actually , Romania didn't enter the war to take bulgarian lands , they entered to regain Transylvania which they considered their rightful land , so they had the same goal in mind as you had. Besides , they didn't get to invade too much since they were beaten to a pulp.
Boris Georgiev Aha and than bulgarians killed thusands civilians in Serbia, after balkan wars Serbia want to get albania, and bulgaria to get macedonia, but with help of AH, albania become independant so, blame Austro-Hungary, not Serbia
Stefan Kartchev Oh don't get me started... If we wanted to "steal your lands" we would've took much more since we arrived in Sofia. Bulgarians were becoming too greedy and agressive, this is why Romania intervened to tip the balance. It was more a demonstration of force, no real fighting took place, more troops died of cholera than from battle. Romania was not happy to see the balance of power in Balkans to be upset by Bulgaria, especially because Bulgaria was a potential ally either for Russia, either for Austro-Germans, both threats to Romania's security. With a Bulgarian superstate, Romania was to be crushed betweeen Bulgars to the South and Russians to the east or Austro-Germans to the North and West. Also the apetite for lands of Bulgarians was worrisome as the next target for an expansionistic Bulgaria would have been Dobrogea , a territory long time claimed by Bulgarians as being theirs ( as your profile picture suggests ).
That Regular Romanian You tried to bring balance on the Balkans and you did the exact opposite. After we lost the war(because of you) 1,1 million bulgarians were left outside Bulgaria and 500 000 got killed, Turkey conquered more european land, WW1 lasted two more years, instead of beeing ended in 1916 and in 1940 you lost Moldova and all of that, just because you've tried to bring "balance". And yes, since 681 Dobruja was always ours untill Russia gave it to you in 1878. The border between Bulgaria and Romania/Vlachia was always the Danube river and what we see today in Dobruja is a pornography, but whatever I don't really care now.

@@marvelfan4767 No, Germany and Russia didn't want the war to happen. But Germany had to help AH because they were in an alliance and the Russian Empire helped Serbia because they are our Slavic brothers. Russia wanted some territories on the Balkan but not such a cruel war. After the October Revolution when the Russian temporary government was thrown by the Bolsheviks and the Soviets had gained the power Russia declared the Brest peace treaty between Germany, AH and the RSFSR.
@@marvelfan4767 The so called "First World War" was not the first world war and there’s no "Second World War". The war didn’t end in 1918, but in 1945. Those 20 years between these phasas weren't peaceful years. There were many of smaller wars between the countries. For example, the intervention by 21 countries into Russia, the Russian-Polish war 1920-1921 and the Spanish civil war.

Can't stop to be amazed by germany's performance during ww1. Had Austria-Hungary not been near collapse. and were on the same level of Germany, would it be "bye bye Russia" Same goes for the Ottoman Empire.
It was already bye bye Russia, that happend.
It would have been bye bye France, Greece, and Italy for sure, and probably bye bye to a couple of Britain's colonies. (aka Egypt and Sudan)
Cade Griffith Actually meant to write "Bye bye Russia" in 1914-1915. and of course France in 1914.
MrGeorge7062 Well, these nations did also claim territory which were at the point more Turkish than Armenian, Assyrian or Greek (with the exception of Armenia) but indeed the Ottomans did do great horror/genocide in the late of the war, primarily because of nationalism "Turkey for the Turkish" etc. Nationalism tends to make such actions unfortunatly.
Esben Drenck did u know Anatolia was at least 15% to 20% Christian before the genocide and now its not even 1%
Because of the population Exchange of 1920.
Looks to me like Germany-austria-turkey was winning... WTF
+Justin Vincenti There's more to winning a war than taking over a lot of land. The central powers were running low on food and raw materials (Germany and Austria-Hungary), lacking industrial capacity (Austria-Hungary and Ottoman Empire), and plagued with internal issues posed by different minority groups (All three, more prominent in Austria-Hungary and Ottoman Empire).
+Justin Vincenti What FluffPa said. Also the allies made gains towards the end that look small on the map but were highly significant -look at France and Italy towards the end, and the speed with which the fronts are moving. The Central Powers could have kept fighting, but it would just have meant more deaths and probably less favourable peace terms.
what they said, but lets not forget that when Russia left the war, the US joined.

I think so too
This was the last war of the glorious old-world armies. After this so many innovations took place that modern style warfare was born.
Germany's performance was superb. They were almost one step away from complete victory, if they defeated France, and had better allies. To think that just 3-4 nations held off the 75% of the world for so long and nearly managed to defeat them, while keeping order at home, deserves an applause.

+Général Solonias France would had to split her forces to fight Italy. Germany's job in the western front would've been easier. In real life, Italy did quite a good job against Austria-Hungary, in fact the battle of Caporetto was lost by Italy because Germany helped A-H in the Dolomites.

Small nitpick. The Treaty of Bucharest was the treaty to end Romania’s participation in the Great War. The Region known as Dobruja would be split in two by the Central Powers. The southern parts would be annexed by Bulgaria, the Northern parts would become a joint-occupation zone for all four central powers in order to supply their nations with food and oil to continue the war due to the British blockade on Germany.
Bulgaria, would beg the other Central Powers to let them annex the rest of Dobruja. 5 days before they capitulated to the Triple Entente, they got their wish and got the rest of Dobruja, though again, they’d only own it for like 5 days before their capitulation. And the region would be handed back to Romania in the Treaty of Versailles.
Sorry for nitpicking small details, but I’m just a huge history nerd and can’t help it sometimes.

Winning the war isn't just taking over a lot of land. They were running low on supplies, Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire were dissolving. Almost all people in the army were dead, and they were fighting against basically the rest of the world. The war was impossible to continue.

Interesting. Have read more about the Second World War. But this daily map gave a very good illustration of how this war progressed over these four years. Thank you for sharing this video.
You pretty much forgot the first Austro-Hungarian offensive on Serbia. During that offensive, Austro-Hungarian army managed to get all the way along the Kolubara river, occupying a big chunk of north-western Serbia including Belgrade itself, and Serbs managed to push them away completely only couple of days after, taking a small piece of Bosnia as well.
But who gives a shit about the Balkan front, right?

🇷🇸 Serbia 🇷🇸 👍👍
Honestly, this is one of THE best videos on youtube in my opinion. The music is epic, the movements are almost completely accurate, and the dates are also accurate.
My only problem with this video is that you didn't show any of the Red, White, ethnic minority, or Czechoslovak armies fighting in the former Russian Empire after the Revolution, (nor did you show Kalmykia trying to become independent) but that's a minor point.
But was the Western Front really that still? Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought Verdun and Somme should've caused at least a few temporary noticeable changes. Also, didn't Austria-Hungary launch a full-scale invasion of Serbia in the first few months of the war (they were driven back quickly, but they actually got deep into Serbia; almost to the Greek border).
But overall, this is a great video. My favorite parts were when the music turned all sinister when Bulgaria entered the war and Serbia was torn apart; Bulgaria is always overlooked when people discuss World War I since they always focus on the Western Front and only give a bit of attention to the East and only think about the Ottomans when they look at the Balkans and Middle East. That part made the Bulgarians look badass.
I also love the ending parts when the music turned all sad after the Central Powers started to annex land from/establish vassal states in the territory they won in the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk and the Treaty of Bucharest. This was especially fitting when the Ottoman Empire started occupying Armenia and the CPR was occupied by Germany. I also liked how the music started turning heroic/epic and Persia was reoccupied by the allies just as the Ottoman Turks finished occupying Armenia and how Bulgaria and the Ottoman Empire were forced into Armistice immediately afterwards.
Why do you think the allies were the good guys?

I can't believe it has nearly been 100 years since the beginning of modern warfare...
Is it just me or does it seem like the allies should've lost? It looks like they really should've lost looking at it.
Most gained areas in the east after 1917 only played a minor role in support of the central powers. Ukraine wasn't much of a help to Germany; they were a minor client state.
In september 1918, the Greeks and Brits broke through the Macedonian defense line, forcing Bulgaria to surrender. The Ottoman Empire was near collapse after the Brits and Arabs conquered all areas in the south.
Austria-Hungary was near collapse as well, and with the millitary basically completely destroyed, and Greek and Italian forces closing in from both sides, they did not have much of a choice but to surrender as well.
With the other 3 centrals gone, The Allies breaking through the western front and advancing into Belgium, and military being starved and near revolution, Germany had to surrender as well.
Also remember that the allies controled the entire Meditteranean Sea and the Central Powers had difficulty getting supplies.
with the remaining serbian army
This war wasn't about taking land, it was all about attrition. The central powers supplies had been completely drained out, Lawrence of Arabia had captured Baghdad and severed ottoman supply lines, and Germany had to surrender. I actually wrote an essay for my history exam on why Germany had to surrender and the basic jist is: The United States had entered the war, a fresh completely new army with fresh supplies, the was a massive hit to German morale and a boost to the allies, Germany's allies had surrendered leaving them all alone, British naval blockade had drained German supplies and last of all Germany was being pushed back onto their own territory.
This video is two-dimensional and unlike the second world war many fronts may ware on a stalemate they still suffered huge losses and a British seablockade caused a bigger becoming shortage of food.
this video deserves more views!

Just thinking, but what if...
The Germans had turned around the Schlieffen Plan?: Leaving some forces at the heavily fortified Franco-German Border while transporting all remaining Armies to the East to deal with Russia first? Seeing how much damage Hindenburg and Ludendorff did with only one Army in 1914, what could *five* Armies have done? Plus, no march through Belgium = No causus belli for Britain to enter the war.
hmmm. A German flag flying over Moscow. Wow.
France would have gone through Belguim and GB would have entered the war anyway, Belguim was an excuse, not a cause. But you are right, it might have changed the war.
+John Poindexter I doubt France would have gone through Belgium, in all likelihood Britain would have declared war on Germany anyway but it would have been much later (Like months to years later).
the french explicitly stated that under no circumstances would they enter Belgium until the germans did. and I think the British would join the french almost immediately after the fighting started regardless of entry through belgium. the French and English were in bed with each other for several years before 1914
FDR and Churchill + Stalin promised a free world for everyone. I guess not all promises and statements make the deal. The French would get desperate and probably invade Belgium.
Belgium was never fully taken.
My great grandfather was fighting along our king ( Albert I ) during WWI.

It's amazing how Germany was still able to dig deeper into Northern France even in June 1918! This war was a lot closer than everyone thinks and perhaps the central powers may have won if America didn't intervene
That was done because of the yanks were coming
Everyone got hyped and Germany was like "Let me cook. Just trust the process, bro.", but they quickly understood that they're the only prestige level player with a bunch of casuals in the team.

@@yellomelon5382 Your kidding. Serbia shot the archduke and started the mess in the first place but in the end they got more out of it (Yugoslavia) Also there was no bad side in world war 1. Russia was also the one who encouraged Serbia to be strong
@@Randomdude112there’s no proof that Serbia it’s self had anything to do with the shooting
this is great! i subbed!
The music is perfectly timed to fit the morale of the troops
1914-16 Full Out War
1917 Seriously, end this
1918 YES THE WAR IS ENDING!
I'm bulgarian and I can stay that bulgaria entered the war with one thing in mind - to unify all bulgarians in one country - at that time South Serbia, Macedonia and Northern Greece were considered bulgarian lands by our people and indeed they were inhabited mostly by bulgarians. We enterd this war becasue we couldn\t achieve bulgarian unification in the previous Balkan Wars where Greece, Serbia, Romania united against us with just one aim - to take bulgarian lands. We entered WW1 to regain those lands back and Germany promised that if victourious they will be ours for good. Notice that Bulgaria took just the territories that we considered ours and we didn't want to go beyond that.
Boris Georgiev Actually , Romania didn't enter the war to take bulgarian lands , they entered to regain Transylvania which they considered their rightful land , so they had the same goal in mind as you had. Besides , they didn't get to invade too much since they were beaten to a pulp.
Boris Georgiev Aha and than bulgarians killed thusands civilians in Serbia, after balkan wars Serbia want to get albania, and bulgaria to get macedonia, but with help of AH, albania become independant so, blame Austro-Hungary, not Serbia
+That Regular Romanian He is talking for Second balkan war, when you joined to steal our land.
Stefan Kartchev
Oh don't get me started...
If we wanted to "steal your lands" we would've took much more since we arrived in Sofia. Bulgarians were becoming too greedy and agressive, this is why Romania intervened to tip the balance. It was more a demonstration of force, no real fighting took place, more troops died of cholera than from battle.
Romania was not happy to see the balance of power in Balkans to be upset by Bulgaria, especially because Bulgaria was a potential ally either for Russia, either for Austro-Germans, both threats to Romania's security. With a Bulgarian superstate, Romania was to be crushed betweeen Bulgars to the South and Russians to the east or Austro-Germans to the North and West. Also the apetite for lands of Bulgarians was worrisome as the next target for an expansionistic Bulgaria would have been Dobrogea , a territory long time claimed by Bulgarians as being theirs ( as your profile picture suggests ).
That Regular Romanian You tried to bring balance on the Balkans and you did the exact opposite. After we lost the war(because of you) 1,1 million bulgarians were left outside Bulgaria and 500 000 got killed, Turkey conquered more european land, WW1 lasted two more years, instead of beeing ended in 1916 and in 1940 you lost Moldova and all of that, just because you've tried to bring "balance". And yes, since 681 Dobruja was always ours untill Russia gave it to you in 1878. The border between Bulgaria and Romania/Vlachia was always the Danube river and what we see today in Dobruja is a pornography, but whatever I don't really care now.
5:26 and 5:28 Was Georgia a vassal of the German empire or Ottoman empire?
It was the Democratic Republic of Georgia and it was under German protection
In the case of WW 3, always go against Germany. You won't mistake.
PowerBosnia Being french I think it would be a better idea to be on the german side
+LinuxDistroDude but only because nukes nothing more

***** France alongside Germany is a very strong alliance
Larax456 Germany is not a military power anymore, only France and UK can be called like that today in Europe
