@@evzenvarga9707 But another reason why WWII was more recognizable than WWI is because the US fought longer in WWII than it did in WWI. Remember that the US was neutral most of WWI until 1917-1918 the final years of the war but in WWII, although the US didn't get into the war from the beginning but they got into the war earlier than they did in WWI. In other words, WWI was mostly a European War and WWII was mostly an American War.

Neo-liberalist policy is completely based on WWII; an embellished narrative of American heroes who saved the world from Fascism, Nazism, Communism, maintained free trade through maritime control of the seas, to build a Globalist trade network and banking network to loan and leverage nations into the new world order around a uni-lateral economic system.
Rudyard, gives a well thought out answer with perfect amounts of in depth details and wave top ideas to get a point across speaking for 10 minutes. Interviewer, hmmm fascinating. Anyways…. I read a comment saying the energy needs to match and I second that. This topic is the most fascinating historical topic to me and many others and I struggled to get half way through.
Im interested in why atheism is increasing especially in liberal areas, especially because everyday I find more and more proof of god I’d think that fuck hope the world was catching on but…
Great video. And I often find myself disagreeing with Rudyard. In the US we hear about how WWI changed the men who fought in it, shellshock, the roaring 20s. But how people viewed government, how an era ended, how much values changed from the war, especially specifics, is rarely covered. Good job!
Rudyard, you have a gift for explaining many things in novel and readily understandable ways. Thank you for solidifying my understanding of WWI in which my grandfather fought. He kept a diary and described nearly dying of dysentery, crapping on the major's tent, burying nine dead mules and a dud falling right next to him.
Great episode! Enjoyed it. Looking forward to the Russian Revolution video, that's a topic I've delved into hard the last few years and I've come to the conclusion that it wasn't a revolution, it was a coup.
"Ersatz" means replacement or substitute. German ships were ordered as "Ersatz X" where X is whatever ship they were replacing. For example, the battleship SMS Helgoland was ordered as Ersatz Siegfried, a replacement for the old coastal defense battleship Siegfried.
Not a fan of the interviewer. I can get by decently by framing it as "interviewer asking minimal questions to keep Rudyard on track" and I think that's generally a good way to work with Rudyard's extensive historical knowledge, but this guy really seems half-interested at best, like he was a student caught on his phone by a professor and forced to give some kind of explanation for the last 5 minutes of the lecture. I'm excited for these history videos but the energy does not match here.
This is the comment to focus on. The dynamic doesn't work. Whatif is too smart for this dude. Regardless of the relationship leading to this partnership, you can do better. If whatif doesn't know WW1 as well as other topics, what is the other guy doing to contribute? I'm calling it ⏳. Back to the drawing board.
The interviewer is a tech bro entrepreneur who started a venture capital firm and podcast network. He’s made a career out of extracting money from the talent from other people
35:34 it's also important to note some of the other fronts of the war, like the Macedonian front, where the Greeks defeated the Bulgarians decisively in the battle of Skra di Legen, and then moved towards their capital Sofia. When Bulgaria capitulated, the road to Constantinople was opened, and the Ottomans capitulated as well. This led the Austro-Hungarians to sign an armistice, leading to their eventual collapse, and thus Germany was surrounded on all sides. If the southern front hadn't opened up by Greece joining the war, it's actually unlikely that Germany would have signed the armistice when it did.
38:00 intresting thing is that after WW 2 we could see another shift, this time from traditionalists vs modernist to traditionalists vs modernist vs cultural creatives.
I’m British I use to believe that the Americans In WW1 took some weight off at the end but we could have done it without them. Due to British industry really kicking off, especially the increased tank production near the end, and just generally the Germans had overstretched their economy to achieve what they had while Britain could have materially kept up the war way longer than the Germans could have and striking Welsh industrial workers ending their strikes because as much as they wanted better pay they didn’t want the Germans to win this war they had already put so much effort in, so I believed British industry was decisive not the American entry. However as I’ve researched further I know that French moral was so low before the American entry that it may well of crumbled and though at first the Americans came in small numbers the French just knowing a hell of a lot more were coming gave them heart so I now do view the US entry as necessary or at least preventing the war from being very touch and go.
Can you guys possibly discuss in a future podcast on how king George V of Britain, Kaiser Willhelm II of Germany , and Tsar Nicholas II of Russia we’re first cousins?
So far it’s interesting. Although I haven’t finished the video I do have some questions. What sources do you have about this “everyone was good guy in ww1, everyone was bad guy in ww2”. Especially with claiming that Tzarist Russia was the worst yet respected human rights (and how they’re worse than Ottoman Empire or Kaiser Germany)?
The RUclipsr Lavender has a series of videos about how Kaiser Bill really was a decent, honorable leader who was unfairly slandered by the Allied propagandists. I'd love to hear your take on that!
This was awesome. I would love to see an episode on the wars of Louis the 14. Major turning point for French history in my opinion. I have often wondered what would have happened if louis' wars were successful.
Unrelated, but you mentioned you’re in Texas right now. Are you aware of the total solar eclipse that’s going to pass through Texas on April 8 of this year?
It was found that the only tactic to be able to break through the German defense in depth was an extremely well coordinated attack of Infantry, Artillery, and Tanks, now known as combined arms warfare
Obviously the Germans were OP in both world wars and had a valiant and strong warrior tradition that had been building since the 1700s... They basically took on the greater part of the world in both wars and pound for pound had the best soldiers imo.. But just to bring attention to Bulgaria in WW1 they were legit the 2nd best faction of the Central Powers and they straight up knocked out Serbia and Romania in the war and then helped tie up the Greeks.. Finland was the hidden gem of WW2 and mauled the Soviets twice during the war ...
Bulgaria second power? You should consider spending more time on balkans there perhaps you mistake bulgaria on taking down serbia in the ww1 with balkan wars but still i don't have idea how in name of earth you got idea that bulgaria is second power in central powers
@@dusanstanisic-im4go the Austrians had to be bailed out by the Germans time and time again... They would get their asses kicked by the Russians.. then the Germans would have to rescue them.. Germans even had to help vs the Italians ... The Ottomans were also a complete disaster by the time of world war 1 ... The Bulgarians joining the war was the key component to defeating the Serbs and defeating the Romanians in WW1 ... The only venture that they were not successful was against the Greeks.. but by that time they had already surpassed the Ottomans and Austrians in usefulness to the Germans ...
1:32 bit summarized very well why this period fascinated me. Though even if it's a crowd favorite, people obsess over WWII way more than WWI which is depressing. Without 1 there wouldn't be 2, and 2 solely exists because of 1. 1 changed the world forever so 2 happened, and it's arguably more important.
I don't care about this one, but I'm just listening because I have nothing better to do. Love the series overall lately. It could go on for years and would actually get better over time.
Topic: the Great Schism, i know about it, but it is confusing to me in more of the broader sense of why the event needed to happen between the roman and orthodox churches.I would love your take. Also I really want to know why european societies evolved from medieval countries into the Renaissance period. And the differences between the two culturally. Thank you!
I could forgive a single "say more about that", but when it's virtually the only question, repeated ad nauseum for an hour, it gets tiring. At least in a WhatIfAltHist video I'd have the occasional wall-of-text to supplement the expositional maps. It's like these guys are in opposite time zones and Rudyard is at the top of his game while the interviewer has barely woken up and will go back to bed at any minute.
This is also the case for the rest of Erik's podcasts. It might make more sense to view it like a monologue-style podcast rather than a conversational one.
Any plans to cover the founding and heights of the roman empire? Or maybe the bronze age or hellenic period? Would be cool to hear you cover ancient history and discuss things such as the Santorini eruption exodus theory and the various mystery religions
9:58 "the worst factions were the Tsar who" 10:04 "the tsars didn't genocide anyone" Are you sure that it wasn't the ottomans then? I heard they did some genocides back then.
24:44 "underlying tension inside of the European order", this forces me to wonder how this interacts with the Year of Revolutions in 1848. Would a series of revolutions like those six decades earlier have also provided an outlet that relieved these tensions, without the same kind of international conflict?
Gallipoli was a terrible idea even without hindsight, what should have been done was the original plan of occupying the Danish islands and using the Baltic Sea to connect to Russia and also isolate Germany from Scandinavia
I think the point on debt is a little off. The UK did gain debt from America, but chiefly private banks, and still left in a net creditor position after the war. They were borrowing to loan. France left with heavy debt, but that's largely because they had been the chief investor into Russia, which after the Soviets took over was unilaterally dropped, leaving France much worse off in debt to both the British and Americans.
The Great War (TV series) BBC in the 1960s is a great primer for the first world war. It's biased towards the Western front and the British and colonies forces. For military tactics, it is the true revolution in military affairs. Infantry minor tactics changed so much between 1914 and 1918. Modern company and platoon tactics are only a slight variation from the 1918 infantry manuals. LMG, rifle grenades and command and control devolved to the section/squad. Not a bad overview of the first world war.
i have a doubt if Germany would have won would world be a more conservative one or a liberal one like when allies won in this universe would decolonization still happen
7:50 This is a map depicting the situation in 1914. I am aware that this is a map of Europe, but pay attention to the lower right corner of the map. Saudi Arabia did not exist until 1932. Call it Najd or something else, please.
I know you are not a military historian, but the end of trench warfare was due to doctrinal shifts, not just tanks. It is a complicated subject overall and there is a lot of disagreement even today. You can see a similar thing going on in Ukraine, the truth is no one ever knows for sure the best strategy for using existing technology and countering your opponents tactics. By their nature they constantly change. A military almost always starts a conflict using the strategy of the last conflict only to discover they need to do something else.
My guy the Russians didn't care at all about human rights, look up the black hundreds, progroms, and what happened in Galicia under Russian occupation and tell me the Russians were good guys.
I would love to see a historical and anthropological view on the cold war. It was more recent but I feel like it was the true start to the I'm right your wrong politics of today without reason
Very fascinating video, i will say that your completely wrong about woodrow wilson. He was extremely anti-war, believing that america was the new "gleeming city on the hill" that war was a barbaric practice for the backwards europeans.
What's so crazy about WWI is that people hardly know or know nothing at all about WWI but are more familiar with WWII even though WWI was the war to change the world forever.
WW2 was bigger, much closer technologically and still in living memory.
@@evzenvarga9707 But another reason why WWII was more recognizable than WWI is because the US fought longer in WWII than it did in WWI.

@@evzenvarga9707 Also for some reason, when I think of WWI, I think of the Metallica song, "The Thing that Should Not Be."

Topic request: Decline of Religion since the 20th century.
Did it really , more like got replaced with new religions such as communism and racism and modernism
I suppose a more correct title would be: "Decline of Christianity (or even all traditional religions) in the 21st Century"@@uberjoe-08
Im interested in why atheism is increasing especially in liberal areas, especially because everyday I find more and more proof of god I’d think that fuck hope the world was catching on but…
Episode suggestion: Portuguese & Spanish Reconquista.
Agreed!
RealCrusadesHistory has a bunch on this
And one channel has a 10 or so part (each part being multi hour) set of videos on the Reconquista
The only bad part about this Podcast is that it ended. Amazing work 👏
Have been looking into ww1 for quite a while now and there were lots of facts and perspectives I heared for the first time. Keep it up!
Your way of explaining history is very entertaining. No need for any fancy animations
This was truly fabulous, thank you guys for sharing this wonderful deep dive 🙏
Great video. And I often find myself disagreeing with Rudyard.
In the US we hear about how WWI changed the men who fought in it, shellshock, the roaring 20s.
But how people viewed government, how an era ended, how much values changed from the war, especially specifics, is rarely covered. Good job!

Love how this is uploaded as my APUSH class is going over the first world war
Check out Dan carlins stuff. I passed European history 2 in college with it
Rudyard talking about World War I? I am so there!
20:18 Christina Croft has a great book on this topic called "Princes in the Trenches." It's fantastic. 👍🏻😊
Fun fact: when Japan brought German pows from China, one of the pow camps became a cultural exchange between Japan and Germany.
Thank you both for this intriguing and informative conversation.
Yes! Been listening to your podcasts all day at work!
PS: interview Randall Carlson
omg yes

Thanks for the lesson.

The only wrong thing they did was losing

I'd really love to see you do the evolution of the Holy Roman Empire up to the start of WW1.
Ww2 is just fallout of how ww1 "ended". You can very much argue ww2 is just a continuation of ww1 after an intermission.

or still doing both?

Def gonna use this

Are you sure that it wasn't the ottomans then? I heard they did some genocides back then.
no. only christians do genocides
Nuttin' about Bittish, I'll throw your coffee in the harbour, eh?
Why do the French still own Quebc? I honestly tried living in Canada, firstly due to my northern accent, they thought I was Australian.
Fuck America.

2:48 Bro WHAT!?!?
What if the South won WW2? Now that’s a video I’d actually like to see lol
I wish it would have been mentioned that the war ended in a truce. Not a surrender.
So is Ottoman Turkey not a part of World War 1 or something, cause they were bad, and committed at least three genocides.
Britain didn't exactly control Canada during WWI. We've been mostly independent since 1867.
Can I be in one of your podcasts one day?

Gallipoli was a terrible idea even without hindsight, what should have been done was the original plan of occupying the Danish islands and using the Baltic Sea to connect to Russia and also isolate Germany from Scandinavia
You should do alternative history mods review on Iron Heart and stuff.
I think you should cover how and why Africa has become authoritarian since decolonization
Do an alternate history based on if eur0pa the l@st b@ttle was true info
Don’t need too 😏
Average whatifalthist fan ruclips.net/video/SJPcldxLvXY/видео.htmlsi=4LuCb8k4mBkQfu_h

the world around you is the result of that info being true

Love it, but u definitely have to use correct maps: there was no Saudi Arabia in 1914 and no USSR in 1918.
I think the point on debt is a little off. The UK did gain debt from America, but chiefly private banks, and still left in a net creditor position after the war. They were borrowing to loan.

Modern company and platoon tactics are only a slight variation from the 1918 infantry manuals. LMG, rifle grenades and command and control devolved to the section/squad.
Not a bad overview of the first world war.

by the bell?? 😂
Don't forget the biggest impact of all, what was birthed from the traumatized immune systems of our strongest generation: the Spanish Flu of 1918.
Nod, nof. Command, and Conquest?

Germany was a democracy first weimaurer republic before getting to be dictatorship
why are you telling him that y'all have struck up a friendship?
" germany gave up cause their wasnt enough men "
SO i guess were just ignoring that all of germans allies collapsed or surrendered to the enemies?
America didn't like this thing, but the American word for 'English' it's English.
It's pretty crappy English, but English none the less, phanny pack.
