The very first global conflict to span multiple continents and oceans, World War I kicked off in July 1914 and ended in November 1918. Territory was lost and gained, empires crumbled and millions sacrificed their lives to fight for their countries.

It is, I remember like 15 to 20ish years back you'd still see WW2 on the media and video games and movies everywhere in comparison to WW1. It was talked so much it actually became kinda boring. I had to find a book to find something to learn about the WW1 other than the basics. It wasn't until relatively lately that WW1 was getting some attention. I guess that since it was barely over 20 years between the two world wars, and that period wasn't during the age of information and people never really got to process it, until mass media in the 00s made is kinda bored of hearing about WW2 constantly and people wanted to learn more about WW1.

Calibet Zeal But that part of the treaty wouldn’t exist though. The war was at a complete standstill, roll the dice and you had a 50/50 chance of either side winning. America joined the Entente and tipped the scales hard, if America joined the Central Powers? I honestly doubt that America would be interested in allowing that to happen, same for Germany, they were tired of carrying the Central Powers, Austria-Hungary maybe but I doubt the Ottomans would want anything like that in the treaty either considering they had their asses handed to them hard by the Russians and British. Bulgaria probably but they just want to be bigger. Basically not happening in that alternate universe. Basically in a Central Power victory, at a treaty where the terms are essentially dictated America and Germany, the others are forced to shut up and go along with not making the Entente starve. Edit: Really pushing your bullshit eh, me from a year ago. Holy shit if only you realized how much of a dumbass you were.

The Soviets suffered the most horrific defeats in military history, yet they never gave up and ended up victorious. If the Germans were more humble, they could have sued for peace with the Soviets and won great influence over Eastern Europe, but they wanted total victory, but got total defeat instead.

Then the winged hussars arrived

Passchendaele, 2nd Nov 1917 A man stood in his trench, knee deep in mud thickened by the earth shattering anger of the artillery trying to dig him out. He looks around him at the men he fought alongside each day. Each of them had the face of death, their spirits having been broken months ago. The shadows and mud covering their faces gave them the appearances of the very same corpses they fought over each time a charge was ordered. He checked his rifle, making sure it was fit to tear another man's life from his body, and his bayonet, still bloodied from the last man its razor edge had sliced through like paper. He gazes over the trench edge, tempting the ever present gaze of a sniper to see what yet awaited him. His eye was met with hell on earth. decomposed body's half swallowed back into the earth, still lying the way they fell. Barbed wire with its thousands of metal teeth suspending the body's of all. A singular tree, its bark burnt and its roots bloodied. And clouds of gas smothering and choking the very heavens themselves, before settling in the craters born of the pounding artillery. He wondered were the bodies of his friends, his brothers in arms, laid. He wondered what fate had awaited them when they had breathed their last breath. But he held no resentment for the men who had fought them back, no. He held resentment for the generals who had hidden in their bunkers and marched them to their deaths. The shrill sound of impending doom cut through the silence and the living corpses around him gathered at the trench edge. A captain marched down, forgoing the rousing speech, knowing his men no longer even heard his words, let alone cared for them. He thought once more of his fallen brothers, and his family back home. And finally the order was given and the mad scramble over the edge began. Immediately he heard the bloodthirsty chatter of the enemies weapons bearing down on them, more men falling into the mud around him. And once more, he marched into the gaping maw of death, with his rifle in his hands and an order to fulfil

And then it was USAs turn to launch carriers, 3 were sent. Enterprise or Lexington was destroyed but luckily it got repaired, after that Enterprise or Lexington was sent again.

My respect for Sabaton just grows and grows. They're making people who may not have heard of these battles/wars/people/vessels/etc and really making the history live again. I agree with so many people I've heard; WW2 was a war that had to be fought, the Nazis were an existential threat to the rest of the world and although millions died their atrocities are all that lives on. WW1 was a pointless war, initiated by the growing pains of globalism and just the result of utter incompetence, corruption and greed on all sides. The young men on all sides and the civilians who lived and died around them deserve to be remembered and their stories deserve to be told. If any of the guys from Sabaton are reading this: Thank you. You're doing a great service to humanity and making hstory RTFO. Eternal respect 👍🏻

Everyone talks about how great World War 2 is, but the Great War had an ace Prussian pilot, an incident where Russian soldiers were gassed and kept fighting, and another one where both sides decided to take a break from fighting and played soccer.

I could never imagine looking upon a field of white crosses and nowing that somewhere my family or friends are one of thoes crosses are for them.

Battle for Kosare , or Karaula Kosare which was like battle of the border, maybe you can make it like when Russian volunteers arrive it gets better and everything, highly recommend watching the documentary on the thing, there are english subtitles, its made by RTS and you can probably find it 5.

I know this will get buried, but here my take on why this song message is tragic. Pay attention on how at the beginning the "soldier" who's point ov view we see blames others, the higher ups, the politicians etc. not directly but the message is clear. Then we have the mourning part, soldier is trying to understand and comprehend the whole situation. But he cant. When Captain orders the charge, he "snaps", narration changes. There is duty, worthy sacrifice and serving the country, heroes rise. There is no more thinking of the purpose of war, there is just war as it is. When he said at the beginning that the promised glory was a lie, there is no more of that. He fell in line like everyone else, he fell to the "Glory" narration indicated by "heroes rise". And the most tragic part is, that "soldier" says that we will "write our own history". But he doesn't know yet that he and most of his generation are turning, or already turned into the same people that "lied" to them at the beginning. War to end all war, no encore. But, they will do the same. for their children, sooner or later. Maybe he doesnt know that, but because of what happened during the Great War and its aftermath, the pieces are already in place for the next round. And his generation will be blamed the same as the generation he is blaming in the beginning. Remember that Hitler didnt came out of nowhere. He was the same man, from same generation, as our soldier who sings. And THATS tragic.

The War To End All Wars. A rejected Austrian dude with a funny mustache: *Oh I don't think so.*

А лето 2019 года было хорошим, лето 2022 года будет холодным.!

It was called The Great War because of the scale, kinda like the Great Wall of China, and other names for WWII are The Second Great War (UK) and Great Patriotic War (USSR/Soviet Union/CCCP, three names for one country) and yeah I know this song is about WWI, I just figured those that are curious might want to know how it got that nickname

Honestly I think the lyrics of this song can apply to any war if you interpret them hard enough. When you think about it what soldiers were sold in WW1 is what soldiers are being sold in practically every war.

This was my first song I heard of you guys my brother was trying to get me to listen to you guys when my brother said its a history band I really didn’t take him seriously but now I’m glad I did and I got to see you guys in phoenix’s thank you sabaton and keep up the good work

When Joakim bellows "so follow me an we will write our own history!" and the instrumental commences, I get a mental image of a platoon climbing out of the trenches, following their sergeant and facing the lead in a charge.

"Though men are falling we see the heroes rise" - man, every time it gets me, every time I hear it - it brings tears to my eyes. One of the most simple, yet so powerful phrases.

My Great Great Uncle died in the Canadian Army in the final days of the Battle of Passchendaele. He was wounded on November 6th and he died of his wounds on November 9th at the Allied hospital at Boulogne France on November 9th. Also when I was sixteen I had a dream that I was sure was the final moments of a past life where I was a soldier in the French Army in WW1 and I died reaching the German trench in an attack. Me and my comrades were wearing the light blue helmets and trench coats that the French wore in WW1 and we were speaking in a language that this version of me understood but I didn't (I'm an Anglophone Canadian).

I've had visions of WWI and WWII. I'm an American so imagine how disturbed I was when I was about 15 and I woke with a jolt screaming "-th to the nazi invader" after dreaming of a soviet assault on a machinegun position the germans had set up and waking up after taking a shot to the head mid battlecry; scared the daylights out of my grandmother let me tell you. The WWI *NIGHTMARE* was in some god's forsaken mudpit of a trench in a can only think was either a canadian or british position going over the top and getting fragged by an artillery shell, I broke my leg in football in my freshman year and my right leg had a divot smacked out of it so when I woke up with a jolt I felt the pain crawling in my legs; I didn't sleep for 2 days straight it impacted me that much. ~As to the men that lived and experienced it for real, I can only imagine how painful they felt the rest of their lives and how psychologically broken they became.

Rest in peace all those who died. And all those people who were never found.

I think this song so perfectly connects with World War 1. The song seems to ooze grandness, probably due to the choir and, as usual, amazing guitar work and the work of whatever instrument is used at 3:40-3:42. I don't believe there can be any better song that can be made about World War 1.
