  1. Thankx for saying South Slavs insted of Serb, Bosnian, Croatian, Slovenian, Macedonian,Monte Negro, We are all the same people there juat religion divided us for yeara

  2. Mustache guy: I’m bored
    Mustache guy 2: me too
    Mustache guy: I have an army
    M2: same
    M1: wanna see who’s the better army?
    M2: fine but only til 7pm, I have a dentist appointment tomorrow.

  3. 28:54 didn't Karl Liebknecht vote against the war credits? You say all of the SPD Reichstag delegates voted for them. Wasn't he even expelled for refusing to cooperate with the rest of the party and the war effort?

  4. Knowing that Austro Hungary was activly genociding Serbs even before ww1 with its muslim and croatian traitor forces( in croatia known as mađaroni) Russia definatly had a reason to defend Slavs in Balkans

  5. Anyone notice how it is always Elites of every side who develop evil plans and then implement those plans? Same thing today in 2024. ……All while regular Joe’s are watching soccer games and chugging down beer or wine?

  6. The causes of the war linked to the sequence of events are rightly seen as complex and unresolved. One viable approach which as yet seems untried would be to begin with the cultural
    / political prejudices and tensions (and which of these prevailed) inside each combatant State –
    linked to the policies and actions that led to the war. I suggest the analysis of each combatant country's internal conflict would more readily explain the cause of larger events.

  7. Rotten royal family basically all created this war out of nothing. All royal families should have been abolished after ww1… but no… because people are freaking idiots.

  8. You guys could follow this up by giving us an insight in Austria-Hungary's first year of war. All the military plans versus the reality. How all Conrad's gambles and major decisions backfired in a spectacular run of bad decisionmaking, overconfidence, bad luck and wishful thinking. The offensives in Serbia, into Russian Poland and east from Galicia. How Conrad kept making changes in the beginning (defensive stance in Galicia versus offensive stance, shifting the reserves around in violation of his own war plan R and so on) and kept ignoring logistic and terrain related realities in favor of 'spirit of the attack' despite knowing what 'modern' weapons could do.

    We need to separate Conrad the meme from the reality of what it was. Plus, as extra bonus, there'd be lots of mentioning Przemysl 🤣
    Suggested literature: "Architect of the apocalypse" by Lawrence Sondhaus and both 'Ring of Steel' and 'The Fortress' by Alexander Watson, plus 'Fall of the double eagle' by Manfried Rauchensteiner.

  9. Germany fought almost alone (only supported by the weak Austria) against France, Britain, Russia, Italy and so on… 💪🏻🇩🇪

    And Germany would have WON if the US would not have joined the war!!!

  10. They went to war over Serbia and Hungary? That had to be a set up. The war was kind of between Germany and Russia over Serbia. But really?

    I mean there was imperial tensions between England and Germany. There's some mention of this; but, there's one detail not mentioned here. There was an English blockade against the Germans in South America – Chile.

    The Germans were trying to get sodium nitrate from there. This would be used for explosives – military purposes. And the English had blockaded it.

    Germany needed a reason to go to war. The killing of some Serbian royalty almost certainly was staged. By whom – nobody knows. But the conflict down in Serbia was almost more of a convenience for the those itching to start a war.

  11. I honestly consider that the failure of the European great-powers to avoid the decline of the Ottoman Empire and the destabilization in the Southern Balkans to be the fault of the Russian Empire. Europe as a whole should have kept the Ottoman Empire afloat and shouldn't have intervened in the Balkan Wars

  12. Jessies presentation and mastery of multiple languages along withe detail of the subject matter makes this channel a must. Personally I watch the episodes multiple times as there is so many interesting points to take in and absorb. The team at Great War Chanel are brilliant

  13. Fast-forward to year 1999 when the Great Powers finally realised that WWI was started by none other than… Serbia. A Strafexpedition was in order.

  14. I think the simplest answer is that every one of the great powers are responsible for the outbreak. Germany, however used its influence to push Austria into a war even faster than she was ready to.

  15. It’s funny that I watch these videos and almost reminisce about the early 1900s when in fact it was pretty much horrible for everyone who lived back then lol

  16. Your title……..is wrong? misleading? lazy? deliberate click bate? Pick one. All are disrespectful to the many millions who died. 
    If only I could complain to youtube.

  17. "Serious" alternate history question:
    Could Germany have broken the French lines without invading Belgium? What would happen if the concentrated might of all Western Front German forces hit the French border in August 1914?
