As the old saying goes "The first victim of war is the humanity of the enemy."
How old is that saying?
"The first casualty of war is always the truth"
"And the second is you"
Zionist call all humanity the enemy... So i guess thats why life is cheap

The most depressing thing is that the people who truly need to watch and absorb this information won't even give this channel a second glance
I respect the fact that you watch others forms of media, with different biases and all, but I think it's very telling that you preface 'anarcho communism' with 'so-called' - who is actually designating these terms? Do they have any basis in truth? I know for a fact that I rarely see any communist media outside of various grotty student halls... Furthermore, even if this were a correct characterisation, would this be a bad thing? Isn't it good to have a great variety of opinions being showcased? You're very vague with this term, and unfortunately it leads me to the opinion that this is simply a misunderstanding (at the very least) or a deliberate provocation/misrepresentation of the political position. I appreciate you putting a thoughtful response though - it it much a rarity in this militaristic internet of ours c:
@@4nna5 Deep down they wanna play the victim getting trampled down by the dirty communist left.
@Indie Ink It seems they want to play both the in-group and out-group simultaneously - they can't bear the fact that they symbolise the status quo so they pretend to be the brave dissenters. It's childish.
@@4nna5 whats an anarchist communist? How can you be anarchist and communist.
@Indie Ink I think that anarcho communism is pretty much a subset of the communist movement generally, with a differing opinion on how exactly to achieve the end goal. If I'm wrong on this correct me, but I think that an-coms don't tend to see the state as necessary to produce the end goal, rather that it must be abolished before any transitory period can come about.

There aren't many things in this world that make me more sick to my stomach than uncompromising patriotism.
Jingoism can be a terrifying thing.
Agreed. Cot damn! Eric shut the fuck up bout the jews.
A significant percentage of any population like simple stories and clearly defined villains, they like to be told they are the good people without having to do anything for it, just by being born here you are good and no matter what you do someone outside these borders has done something worse, you will always be better than them.
It's worth noting that prior to 1945 most lower class sociopaths would have ended up conscripted or in prison, either way mindless violence was controlled put to some modicum of good use by society in forced labour or cannon fodder.
I have no data to back it up but as is befitting of a RUclips comment I will nonetheless state that simple minded people with a desire to justify violence still exist in the same proportions in our population though we no longer have the institutional sloptrays to carry away and contain them.
Not until you guys shut up about everyone that isn't you, Eric
Eric Smith Karl Kraus wouldn't need them! And now that you have a name to research, I am off!
Thanks for letting me contribute to this great video. Fascinating topic, I can't wait for the next part!
Excellent work.

"why are we fighting this war?"
"Ehh for glory? For Germany? For... you know what, I don't know either."
For the Capitalists profits.
I don't think Princip shot Franz Ferdinand because he was a capitalist
Lol
@Anghellik9 That is extremely reductionist. And if it's supposed to be a joke it's not. Jokes require anticipation and payoff.
@@alchemicpunk1509 he said it was for the capitalists profits. Theres plenty of things to criticise capitalism for without blaming entangling alliances with a spanner thrown into it by a social anarchist Serbian independence group assassinating the heir to the throne of the Austrian Habsburg dynasty.
About 5,4 Sargons long, not bad.
Kaza ddum

Sargons: :D
It is uncommon to hear anyone speaking at all about the atrocities of their ancestors, let alone exposing the lies told at the time and afterward to facilitate and cover up. Mad respect to you, my friend.
The best way to cover the bad past is by facing front up it and talk about it smartly.
as they said: the past can hurt but you denial and run from it or learn from it.
Oh, totally agreed. My point was that it's something that takes strength of will to do. The US, UK, Australia, and Japan (to name but a few) could afford to take a serious look at themselves in a similar fashion.
Japan has some very unique oddness in that regard. They both own and deny Manchuria.
www.voltairenet.org/article30028.html because to acknowledge why their military shouldn't own it is to admit they were indebted to a criminal empire
Basically the war with Russia exposed their soldiers to western vices and products, as well as western gambling games, and that demand created an extensive black market the Yakuza filled. This granted them their first "billionaire" who then set up his own nationalist party. He's even important in pressing them into the war itself. It's not in this particular link, but it should be noted he purchased a pardon from the US too. By replacing the carriers Yorktown and Hornet. Legit had enough undisclosed funds that the price of _carriers_ was a mere inconvenience. Dude had Bezos tier bucks.
Note also the Japanese army needing him to *loan* them stuff, like *airfields*, and his outright purchase of a US president later on. Good biography by Seizaburo Sato about this guy out there.
Also his call sign by intelligence services is "Shadowman," pretty damn spooky.
Only Germans do that
In before I watch the video, this thumbnail is impressive. Good job, Skutchdraws!
As usual, I love the style of these videos. Very dry, on point, well researched, unbiased.
Kings and Generals damn you comment fast
Just out of curiousity, is it just one person at kings and generals, or is it a large group? I'm subscribed and just curious...
There are two of us.
Kings and Generals behind the scene video would be much appreaciated also a fan your alexander series was awesome gj you two
Thanks! I'm really proud of how it turned out.
They were all so, so afraid of each other.
It seems so alien when these days, we'd pop across the border to France whenever my mom had a craving for guava juice, and we get tons of French shoppers coming to our town simply because its closer to their villages than Metz.
We should appreciate that we don't live in such a frightening world anymore rather than trying to bring that horror back.
also interesting: austrian porpaganda and centraly-directed effort to hype the war up at the start failed becouse they portrayed the russians as drunks, the french as degenerates and the anglo as a goofy "happy merchant" of sorts, so it ended up doing the oposite of intended: the soliders underestimated the enemy instead of fearign for survival
You cant deny that the russians drink a lot thou.

A year ago I shared this video to the Facebook group for my college’s policy department. Today I got a message from a professor asking me to send him the link again because he wants to use this video in a class.
A point on the crusade; Thomas Asbridge claims that many people went in order to seek absolution for their sins. The reason why the warrior class in particular needed to cleanse their sins was because the Catholic Church condemned tournaments at the time of the first crusade.
Now, based more of my own memory of other sources, 1095 was a relatively peaceful time (especially compared to the other crusade times). This meant the warrior class had no way of demonstrating prowess and gaining renown outside of tournaments. A crusade, then, would have offered them the chance to gain said renown.
“The difference between patriotism and nationalism is that the patriot is proud of his country for what it does, and the nationalist is proud of his country no matter what it does; the first attitude creates a feeling of responsibility, but the second a feeling of blind arrogance that leads to war.”
― Sydney J. Harris
My god, just sat down with my tea and then I get the notification that you uploaded. Ahhhh my Sunday is complete!
The soldiers may be fighting
in the trenches or a battleship at sea
But there isn't any war
when the clock strikes four;
Everything stops for tea.
Please make more videos like this, this adds so much context to the interwar period and the effectiveness of German propaganda. You're a beauty.
20:20 - Ernest be like “I’m about to end this woman’s whole career”
Wow, Thank you for making this. It is incredibly inciteful. In the English speaking world our history from this time is, necessarily, US/UK perspective. Our historians do not emphasize the role of UK propaganda so clearly. Frankly, I was taught that most of the stories about Belgium, were British propaganda, and that there was a lot of enthusiasm and exuberance, belief in the valour of war. And casualty figures were suppressed. That's all true, but you've really laid out the development in a much more rational way. It's no longer a story of: weren't people crazy back then. And now it's a story of: this is how sane people drove themselves towards madness. And it is important to learn this all at this time now, when propaganda is evolving in new ways we don't yet understand.
Please make the next part about WW2! I know it must be a lot of work to do, you put in incredible detail. Thank you! You're providing many of us English speakers deep insights into German Social History. Even in the 1970s and 80s when I was a child, so much of what we learned about Germany was still hidden by the propaganda. Monty Python's caricatures of of Nazis, Hollywood WW2 movies. There just isn't a lot of comprehension of how it all came to be.
As a Belgian who studies History in Leuven I thought this video was very enlightening. There is an exhibition going on now in Leuven about the german occupation in the city between 1914 - 1918. It stands in a park only a few hundred meters away from the rebuilded Leuven library.
I hope you will make more of such good content and I will be sure to follow you :)
Thank you. This aspect was never really convered in school.
They told us how everyone just stumbled into this conflict no one wanted and then kept throwing men and ressources at it untill someone ran out of them, but they never illustrated why no one thought to stop the madness apart from "Well, people were stiill stuck with the medieval perception of war as being glorious" before everything collapsed into rubble. Now it's pretty clear what kept the madness going.
I mean you would think the Revolutionaries would have received fair treatment after chasing out the nobles and the generals, after all they'd done that to end the fighting and it wasn't even the same government anymore, but in this context it would've been hard to sell anything like that, because who cares about productive solutions when you can just stick it to your opponents. Of course the surviving generals opperated on much the same logic.
It was all such a bitter waste.
Man, people talk about dehumanizing and othering people if you want to wrong them somehow and it's always made sense, but I surely never realized how far this idea has been taken in the past. It would almost be comical were it not so chilling.
I found this incredibly fascinating, especially after recently learning about the Christmas Truce at this time. It's pretty amazing to me that with all this bullshit news and the nations gearing up to kill each other, Christmas was the only thing that would prevent them from continuing to fight which would eventually lead to more insubordination on all sides. I know it didn't end the war officially, but the Truce does give a good glimpse at how sick of war people were getting when the conflict started reaching its climax.
the christmas truce can show even people who being propagated all the time can soft spot/respect for there enemy. Aka having humity and looking past the bullshit.
and now Europeans feel guilty about having public Christmas events because it may incite migrants to mow them down with trucks.
oh how times have changed lol.
No, Echo Chamber Infiltrator, that's... that's not actually a thing in real life. Fear of trucks in terror attacks, maybe, but that has nothing to do with "provoking migrants" whether by Christmas celebrations or any other celebration.
leave your echo chamber and seek out information that challenges your perceptions once in a while, this article is 1 out of 100s you could have looked into

As someone who studies history in a sort of brief, distant way, this was a really intriguing video. I'm interested in all of your work and I expect that you'll have a library of interesting videos for everybody to see by the time you're through, which I hope very much is not anytime soon.
I like how emotional your voice sometimes gets, when reading excerpts and impersonating people etc. (Plus I love the German accent :) You don't manufacture enthusiasm and you don't drone boringly, as many youtubers do, you're not fake.
10:30
This alleged hands thing about the childrens' hands in Belgium is especially ironic considering what King Leopold II was doing in the Kongo less than ten years prior.
The ending very much reminded me of the aftermath of 9/11.
"Who attacked this great nation?" "After everything we have done to the world and represent, who is the enemy we need to blame?"
And ofc the US can't (whether conspiracy or not) blame its ally Saudi Arabia from which these terrorists come from. Already from thr 70s dependency on oil alliances and firm foreign agreements for global outreach were done. And how can the US allow an ally to do so? And so the US shifts the blame to something more vague but that plays on ppls ignorance and fear of something unknown and removed from their knowledge of the world.
It is very much the same attitude that has us still fighting even though everyone can see that the espoused wargoals are impossible to achieve through force alone. What politician has the guts to go down in history as the leader who lost the war for freedom and democracy.
Except the "vague" answer was because the terrorism problem is undoubtedly not just one group. In Afghanistan there is the Taliban. Iraq was sending WMDs to Syria.
@@heavypupper1219 Well, if you can turn something around in your favour at the same time, then why not kill two birds with one stone.
9/11 was an inside job
@@heavypupper1219 Taliban didn't attack US. It was Al Quayda. And Iraq had no WMDs ever, as we all know now.
This was an absolutely fantastic watch. It feels like a real natural step for your channel, since it feels a bit like your videos on Drezden, race in WWI or gun rights in WWII, but without a specific point to argue against. It's really interesting, and you do a pretty good job of telling the story and keeping it interesting, while also keeping it relevant. Can't wait for part 2.
I love how Three Arrows presents very well informed arguments and makes his case solid without using slander and character assassination attempts against the people who disagree with him. As someone with opinions both from the left and right I find Three Arrows to be one of the very few creators I can watch without being insulted for disagreeing with him sometimes. Kudos man, we need more people like you if we'll ever bridge the ever growing divide between the left and the right
You know the Left and the Right are meant to be politically divided, right? They are both -sides- to the political spectrum.
When I was a kid, a friend of my parents, who being aware that I was fascinated by history, gave me a book from that era that was aimed primarily at young adults. Part of it profiled each of the combatants in terms one might expect, characterizing the Belgians as “brave,” the Serbs as “valiant patriots” and so on. When it came to Germany, it described the country rather shockingly as being “The Enemy of the Human Race.” One often hears about propaganda “dehumanizing” the side being fought against, but never have I seen it stated quite so overtly as that!
Its obvious that germany was painted as the main savage enemy, but it is not surprising nor entirely false. In Serbia, it's not Germany who is hated and blamed for the suffering of our people, even though they were the enemy and occupants of the nation. It was your allies AH and Bulgaria, who committed the worst atrocities and left an undying hatred and distrust towards them. The blame here is always put on AH first, and Germany second.
Our guys over here only translated some of these to Turkish and called it a day.
The Mad Menshevik turkey is a shithole lol
Are you talking about these videos or the propaganda?
Turkey is a noice place tbh

@@uperdown0 no. No it is not
In regards to the pre-WW1 European fervor for war, I've always wondered if during that period the still-living memory of the US Civil War had something to do with how late the US entered the conflict, or if it significantly shaped perceptions of warfare in general in ways opposite Europeans of the day.
Fuzzy Dunlop seems pretty sound. Americans could remember what "modern war" looked like. They knew it wasnt going to be like Napoleonic battles. All grandeur and "honor". They knew that what was supposed to be a quick conflict turned into a 4 year slog were 600,000 Americans had died, and especially in the south, they had experienced total war.
You also have to remember that Americans were dealing with a belligerent Mexico at the time, and the thought of sending troops south was a big enough issue.
Creating an American Expeditionary Force that would go all the way to Europe was not something most Americans wanted or even saw the point of, Even after the unrestricted sub warfare and the deaths of Americans on the Atlantic.
I do recall a strong sentiment of "isolationist" running through the country as well. It's "their war, somewhere else" sort of thing. A major plank of Wilson's reelection campaign was specifically not getting into the war, after all (didn't really hold true to that)
Keep in mind that the US had a pretty cool relationship with European powers at the time as well, having had wars with the Spanish not too much earlier, and seeing European colonialism in the Americas as dangerous meddling.
It should also be mentioned that the Napoleonic Wars saw their own post-war reaction of horror, which is why we see the Concert of Europe and the Metternicht Plan, which attempted (and partly succeeded) in preventing another "continental war" for almost 100 years (although there were certainly a lot of other wars inbetween).
Interestingly, the Napoleonic Wars also contains some of the same points mentioned above, the idea that once the people get invested in the goal of the war personally, it suddenly becomes a whole lot harder to stop it in a sensible way. Keep in mind, that from the perspective of the French, the Napoleonic War was an extension of the Revolutionary Wars, it was about spreading the new rational rule across the world, and enlightenment values against the broken aristocratism of Germany, Russia and Britain. Those parts in turn saw France as a horrendous threat to their traditions, values, and way of life, much like the Western powers viewed the Soviet Union in the Cold War.
+Enthused Norseman - that comparison of Revolutionary France and the Soviet Union seems very apt, but I don't see it get used very often, for some reason.
*Hunter deja - If I remember correctly, Roosevelt renounced his jingoism shortly before his death, mostly due to seeing the slaughter of the First World War. Could also be from public backlash, as you've stated.
I haven't gotten around to your entire body of work but this definitely feels like one of your best.
The pacing is REALLY good. Really well scripted and the art choices are on point.
"You furnish the pictures, and I'll furnish the war."

No faster way to drum up support than creating a false threat, especially a foreign one.
Love the thumbnail, by the way.
I was supposed to go to sleep then BAM Three Arrows video. Godamnit man.
Thats funny and terrifying at the same time
fake is all silly and funny, but when people use it to justify hate and authoritative powers, it becomes scary.
Polandgod 75 thats true man, it was just the thought of the Germans going way over the top by spreading fear that even nuns couldnt be trusted anymore
The Vatican is sending us some sororia malia.
I have to admit I feel like a happy child listening to this video. The origins of propaganda and fake news are completely amazing to me, that people accept the lies that are told to them and run with these things in their lives and devote their life energy to this faith is way too interesting and downright scary. Thank you so much.
This was super interesting. Please do more Video Essays like this
I thought this was really well done. The way you approached each section kept it engaging and made it easier to digest. Thank you for this!
Truly stupendous work. Perhaps your most informative video yet. You provide great insight and perspective on history and modern politics. Never stop!
This is excellently made. A lot of this I had never heard of before, especially the first example of the non-existent supply convoy. Thank you for putting the time and effort into making these, and I wish you luck on your next project.
What an excellently produced video. While different from your usual content, I enjoyed this format greatly. Very professional and very engaging; makes me happy to be your subscriber. Keep up the fantastic work and looking forward to the next installment.
An excellent video, but I think it was Foreign Minister Bernhard Von Bulow who made the "Place in the Sun" quote. From Wikipedia: "in one word: We wish to throw no one into the shade, but we demand our own place in the sun." ("Mit einem Worte: wir wollen niemand in den Schatten stellen, aber wir verlangen auch unseren Platz an der Sonne.")
I just finished my MA and studied The Great War. I found this a wonderful video on the propaganda in Germany and England. I think you should be proud of this new video, and I hope you do more in the future!
Love the visuals! It's so cool to see you improve with every video.
This earned you a subscription. The quality, the depth of content, clarity, and general flow are fantastic. Keep it up
very good video three arrows, fight the good fight.
viel glück
three arrows should call himself antifa, since he's not anti-communist.
Echo Chamber Infiltrator Maybe he is fervently anti-communist and keeps it to himself. I don't trust people who use socdem symbolism.
How is the "good Fight" determined?
Polandgod 75 lmao fight what?
I absolutely LOVED THIS! The history of the world wars, and war in general, is something I’m utterly fascinated by, as studying it gives such immense insight into some of the most fascinating aspects of human psychology; aspects of our psychology that it’s very important to understand, if we’re to think critically and tactically about how to improve the planet. This video a beautiful exploration of that psychology, even though it’s not your focus. This is different from your usual focus, but I think the perspective it gives is highly relevant to our political and cultural tension today, and the dangers of the lies and propaganda so carelessly flung about by those who control information. Cheers! ✌🏼🙏🏼✊🏼
Excellent work - Been watching your stuff for a bit now and this is definitely one of your best. Happy to see the higher production value and encouraging you to continue doing so as possible
Very good job, I thought it was informative, and it kept my attention
>let me guess, it will be a pure democratic state where the people will make all the decision and thus negate the need for a government? I'm sure they said the same thing in Russia, China, North Korea and most recently Venezuela.
"I'm sure they said the same..." Well, if you knew anything about basic history you would know whether or not the revolutionaries did argue along these terms. Since this goes to show that you don't, you shouldn't share your half-baked views.
Libertarians - good non violent free thinking folks
Anarchists - violent communist hippies
Choose your anarchy carefully.
You speak neoliberalism. The multinational private sector having their backs backed by the governments is keeping them in power. This is in the same time slowly digging a grave as printing fiat currency creates inflation. That party will end one day.
You full of shit. Venezuela is an example of stupid endless spending and printing of gov. money.
I’m visiting Belgium, and just got back from the Ypres museum earlier today! What a coincidence!
Those are some really well made remasters of century old films.
This was a great watch! Thank you for putting this together so nicely and for addressing such an important topic.
this is such an excellent video! Thoughtful, well researched and fascinating - hope you do more of these long form vids!
No one ever speaks of WWI its always 2 so thank you. I always try to explain to my mother that this war ..not exactly the same as 2 and that's mostly forgotten in the glorification of WWII
Its scary ...how one action can have a chain affect that still is seen today
Austria-Hungarian police knew that young Bosnia is on their territory and what they wanted to do. They didn't want to stop them. Franz Ferdinand was anti-war, unlike Austrian Emperor, German Emperor and Austrian military leaders. Killing Franz Ferdinand was killing two birds with one rock.
Fantastic! Worthy of the Great War
Extremely well done video - informative, well-written, and visually well-made. This is professional grade production, better even than some professionally made documentaries. Great job and keep up the great work.
Really awesome video. A conflict often times over looked. If you ever get the chance, I recommend visiting Verdun. Really eerie place.
Your video quality has improved so much. This is great!
this was fantastic, I hope you do more of this kind of videos in the future
Great build up at the end for the follow up video. Looking forward to it!
I read somewhere that at the time of the French Revolution, all of the asylums were empty. Why? The neurotics had found an excuse to die in a war.

This is awesome. Thank you so much for doing this. I love your video responses and such but this is a great and good change, as well. Keep doing what you do; it's all awesome.
Thanks for this video. Please continue this series!
This is such a great video. Thanks for the effort.
Superb video.
"All quiet on the western front" should be required reading in schools.
It was in my freshman year of high school. I was home sick with mono at the time but it was so powerful, even without a class to discuss it with.
in austria it sadly is not.
We studied in New Zealand in the 80s
Fantastic video! Btw I discovered you from the shoutout Potential History gave about the Dresden bombing, and subscribed soon after. Keep up the good work!
Holy cow. This is an amazing video. I shivered when I could tell you were about to mention "stab in the back".
Like watching a documentary, thank you.
Wow, what a fantastic video. So informative, I loved it!
You are killing it with your videos. Getting a world perspective for these issues is fantastic!
This was superbly done. My hat's off to you sir. I'm left wanting more.
This feels a lot more like an educational video and i love it
Blimey, people really don't change. Really interesting video and great to hear your perspective
Amazing video. I really hope this gets big. Truly interesting, eye opening and stimulating.
This was brilliant! Thank-you very much for making this.
Thank you Daniel, very cool!
Well, gosh darn, I needed to sleep but now I am a skeleton. Thanks Three Arrows.
Loved this! I knew so little about the first world war and not only do I now know more but I feel compelled to learn more! Thanks!
Really good video, informative, on point, well researched and nicely put together with those animatios/pictures in background.
Fascinating aspects of this period in history. Well made. Just wondering if you've ever seen an 80's episode of the twilight zone called 'A small talent for war' ?
Not too relevant to this but one of the best and most revealing short stories about human conflict ever. There's a copy on the Tube. Edited 7 minute version. Think you'd enjoy.
Your videos are great. I am a huge fan. I am an American who grew up on military bases in Germany, from 1965 to 1971, and am a little dismayed by the alt-right movement in the US. These proponents are mobilizing around a web of alt-facts, with a skewed world view, and no amount of rational thought seems to sway their views. I am not optimistic that rational thought can overcome blind prejudice, but it is nice to have well researched narratives out there. But when your videos get 50,000 views and dumbasses get 20M, what will the future hold?
I am a battlefield our guide. Of course, everyone sees the cemeteries and asks 'why?'. Why did they do it, why were they made to do it? I try to remind them that our view of the Great War in 2018 is not the view those at the time had, it's another, remote country we can only try to understand. This video has inspired me to reiterate how the information people were fed played its part. Your point about it fitting what they *wanted* to believe is most valuable.
Excellent and much appreciated. Please don't make us wait too long for the next part.
It was very good and interesting, it reminds me a lot of what Hannah Arendt said, more or less something like "lies paves the way to violence".
The only thing is maybe you can talk a little bit louder into the mic, I had trouble hearing what you were saying at some moments.
Hope to see the next video soon!
Excellent as always.
This was very interesting! Good job! I'd also love to see more content like this
I usually speed up your videos (more to do with the calm but slow tone of your voice than anything) but I didnt for this one and didnt even notice when the time passed. this is amazing and you're getting so good at this youtube thing!
I enjoyed this history series!
This is very informative and well researched video. The one purely technical criticism I have is: black captions over a dark background are virtually unreadable. Go with white captions for your quotations next time.
this is an immensely educating video, and the presentation of the knowledge within was perfect! i greatly enjoy it, and would love more.
Wow! Amazing and so timely!
Thanks for another thought provoking vid. Getting an education in the history of applied propaganda is useful in this day and age
Can we get Three Arrows into the Trends? Probably not, but let's try anyways. Leaving comments should help, it's not like there's a shortage of topics to discuss in the video.
I loved all of this. Thank you.
This was wonderfully informative. I love your speaking style and how in depth you are with your writing/research. Keep making awesome content.
