    The Germans invested heavily into fortifying these areas because they planned on staying in these locations.
    The French, on the other hand, would need to reclaim these territories. The British and French trenches were naturally designed to be temporary.

    If 3 guys are surrounding you and making threats, and one of them attacks your friend next to you, you wouldn’t wait around. You are fully entitled to attack that threat before they attack you and put you on the back foot.
    The same principle can be applied to Germany in ww1. France was 100% going to invade Germany while Russia was also putting them in a vice. France wanted a re-march for 1870 and had plan 17 to take Berlin. Plus their pact with Russia pretty much guaranteed their entry into the war. So I would argue preemptive attack on Germany’s part is how they defended their homeland.
    If you’re a German it makes sense. 2 rival countries on either side have agreed to crush you on 2 fronts if a war happens, and with some government propaganda it isn’t hard to see why Germans believed (and I’d argue genuinely were) defending their homeland was much as any other nation. And considering the odds they faced they did a damn good job to last as long as they did!
    You could argue Austria-Hungary was spurred on by German support to attack Serbia, but the Russians and French mobilising justify Germany’s preemptive strike. In fact the German army was the last to be mobilised!!
    I like this vid it was interesting, but I think you shouldn’t use so much ww2 clips next time!! Good day

So....... you say Germany was defending their Homeland. How does that work? Germany was defending the Homeland from French soil? lol.

    Got up to the first minute and a half and had to stop to comment on the numerous inaccuracies: The Battle of the Somme did not take 1,000,000 lives. The British lost 95,000 (19,000 on the first day), the Germans 164,000 and the French around 50,000 for a grand total of 309,000 approx. There were a total of 1,000,000 casualties all told which include wounded, missing and prisoners. The initial images portaying the German soldiers are in actual fact from a German TV series about the experiences of German soldiers on the Eastern front in World War Two. I'm guessing it's not going to get much better hereon in, but will give it a try.

    I am English but my brains are not wrapped in the union jack flag. I try to be as objective as possible and generally agree with many things you said about German soldiers in ww1. May i recommend that you view A BBC tv series called "The Somme from both sides of the wire" which gives a far more balanced view than most nationalistic biased documentaries and shows just how much better the Germans treated their own soldiers compared to the British. .ie 350 British shot for cowardice, the German figure was a tiny fraction by comparison.

    No Germany was Barely touched during the First World War. German Trenches were built better because those trenches were literally considered the Border of the German Empire. That's why they defended them. The Germans had a Defensive Policy (Verdun the Exception) on the Western Front until Victory on the Eastern Front that would free up Men and Material for a new Offensive in the West. The British and French had basic trenches because they had an Offensive Mindset. No point in building anything grand if your not intended to stay there. I'm Done. This is horrible Vid.
