In Gallipoli there''s a rather touching memorial inscription for both Turkish and Commonwealth dead. It reads: "Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives you are now lying in the soil of a friendly country therefore rest in peace. There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side in this country of ours. You, the mothers, who sent their sons from far away countries wipe away your tears. Your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace after having lost their lives on this land. They have become our sons as well 1934 K. Ataturk"

In 1914, Kaiser Wilhelm wrote: "I do not want to have any quarrel with you. But if you mobilize your troops, I will have no choice but to take extreme measures. Until then, give my love to Alix and the kids. Love, Willy." Tsar Nicholas responded: "In the name of our old friendship, withdraw your troops from Austria and let me settle the matter. Your Loving Nicky." Unfortunately, the Willy-Nicky correspondence did not fix anything. In 1917, Nicky reached out to his British cousin, George V, but George did not allow his family to escape. After the Tsar and his family were murdered, George changed his mind and allowed his sisters to escape to Britain.

8:30 The Germans started replacing the Pickelhaube with the Stahlhelm in 1916, but it's not like every single German soldier immediately started wearing it as soon as it was introduced. Some kept wearing the old Pickelhaube helmets for a while. I have a photo of my great-grandpa (who served in the German army in WW1) from 1917, and he was still wearing a Pickelhaube. What's interesting is that he was only recruited in 1917, so it's not like he just kept his old helmet from before 1916. He was given a Pieckelhaube even though it was after the Stahlhelm was supposed to be replacing it.

The Stahlhelm was first given to the frontline units, and there the important parts in regions with heavy fighting first (for example, Sturmtruppen). I have seen pictures of Verdun with a mix of Pickelhaube and Stahlhelm. I also read reports of soldiers having to give their Stahlhelm to the next soldier when getting pulled out of the frontline as they were pretty scarce at the beginning. So the Stahlhelm always stayed in the trenches and was crusted with the salt of its former wearers sweat. Anyway, the Pickelhaube was worn basically to the end of the war by certain units, although usually without the "Pickel" after ~1916

I feel like it's not a matter of "who" but "what". This was the end of the old world so to speak. Centuries of alliances, rivalries, etc came to a head and with everything so entangled once the ball started rolling it didn't take much for a massive war to break out.

So basically this was the "Europe" Season 5 finale...

As someone from western Washington love how you said Orting lol

As a Serb, I have to jump in here. The most problematic points of the Austro-Hungarian ultimatum were the fifth and sixth points. In the fifth point, Serbia was requested to allow Austro-Hungarian police officers and investigators to investigate and arrest potential suspects WITHIN the territory of Serbia, without any supervision and control by their Serbian colleagues. In the end, with great pressure (both external and internal), Serbia COMPLETELY accepted this point. the sixth point was the most controversial and demanded that the Austro-Hungarian authorities, if they were to potentially arrest any of the suspects on Serbian territory, could try and convict them according to the laws of Austria-Hungary. That was unacceptable, and that is why the Serbian side requested that an international court be formed instead, which would decide on the guilt of the suspects. Literally all points were met. Sebia did not want that war! Serbia did not need that war! Especially if you take into account that it was exhausted as a country after it had just emerged from two Balkan wars and after suppressing the great Albanian rebellion in Kosovo and Macedonia in the fall and winter of 1913.

This newly acquired land is from the Balkan wars of 1911-1913. The Balkan wars were supported by Italy, after Italy invaded and won Libya and Islands off Turkey in 1911.....So Italy started WW1...no?

@@Mixer2904 You're making it very easy for yourself. Princip was born a Serb in Bosnia, which was still part of the Ottoman Empire at the time. It was only with the annexation of Bosnia in 1908 that Princip became a citizen of Austria-Hungary. Gavrilo Princip was a member of the Mlada Bosna movement, more precisely a group of nationalist Serbs who called themselves the "Black Hand" and whose goal was to create chaos in Austrian Bosnia and to force the annexation of Bosnia to Serbia. The group was supported by the Serbian government with weapons and money, which was an open secret, and in whose interest they acted to create a pan-South Slavic state. I'm pretty sure Americans wouldn't like it if a group of Mexican nationalists, for example, who wanted to annex the southern states to Mexico, killed the US president and it later turned out that the group was secretly supported by the Mexican government. Lmao the US has started wars for lesser reasons. And now consider this in the context of a time when the world was already extremely unstable and each side was just waiting for the final provocation.

Regarding the "short war". To be fair: Germany before WW1 had any reason to believe they can win the war quickly. A few decades ago, they changed the French army from the biggest one in Europe to the second biggest army in France within weeks. Around 10 years ago UK declared that they would not necessarily defend Belgian neutrality in a conflict between Germany and France. Now of course a lot happened in those years, but UK never officially revoked that statement. And assuming UK stays out of the war and France falls quickly, I doubt Russia would be able or willing to defend Serbia for a long time.

Honestly, word Empire being rooted in word Imperator, Imperium etc. is only coincidentally related to the word we use for monarchs. It's just because post-Caesarian monarchs of Rome weren't feeling comfortable with calling themselves "kings" they had to use cluster of different republican titles. One of which were "Imperator", or "the one who commands", awarded by the soldiers to succesfull military leaders. "Imperium" was a word for command authority in the name of state. This word predates second roman monarchy by several hundred years, and using it to describe huge states that *command* over vast amounts of peoples or territories is perfectly fine even if they are republics or are monarchies led by kings. French or British Empires have more in common with Rome than let's say Bulgaria who actually had king who styled himself as an emperor

It needs also to be noted that other languages then English handle this different and therefore this problem does not exist there. For example the German and Austrian rulers were no "Emperors". The word "Imperator" (Emperor) exist in the German language but their title was "Kaiser" which is the German spelling of "Caesar". In a very similar way the Russians and Bulgarians also had no "Emperors" but instead they had a "Tsar". This word also can be traced back to "Caesar".

Sidenote : Karl Dönitz was an officer on the SMS Breslau (later Midilli) during Raid of Sevastopol

It's also worth noting that the Ottoman Empire had been defensively fighting wars since 1911, first against Italy, then the Balkan Wars (and I think rebellions), so they were weakened immediately before WW1 started

As part of the Treaty of Versailles, Denmark got back lost territory from the Second Schleswig War of 1864, even though Denmark was neutral during the first world war.

One of the more difficult challenges in history is to prove a far context cause of any historical event. They are a great deal of fun to discuss but very difficult to prove in a research setting. OTOH, near context causes are the fodder of a great deal of historical research. An advisor saved me a great deal of tears and frustration by steering me away from a far context related project.

Hey Vth, I have too recommend Sean Munger, he's a smaller channel but he is a PHD historian with VERY in depth videos about topics like Watergate, The fall of the great European monarchy's, the Assassination of Franz Ferdinand, The election of 1872 and stuff like that.

It’s interesting that everyone forgets France’s alliances that were specifically designed to start a war with Germany to avenge Alsace-Lorraine. France pressured Russia to mobilize, and France’s alliance with Russia wasn’t a defensive one, so it required France to declare war against Germany if Russia did.

The Schleiffen Plan was in response to the Franco-Russian Alliance, which require both France and Russia to mobilize their armies if the other country did. Also, France was giving loans (similar to the loans they were giving Russia) to Serbia pre-war and were pushing them to provoke Austro-Hungary. France had a choice to tell Germany that they would not mobilize, but they refused. France wanted a war with Germany (as long as Russia was going to help them) in order to regain Alsace-Lorraine.

Yeah, Mr. spherical is awesome I highly recommend looking at more of their videos

33:24 Yes true VTH, but that's because they were for the most part "like people." I'm sure that while your typical WW1 Tommy felt that way about about Gerry in the opposite trench, that your typical British solider didn't feel the same kinship with his opponent during the Battle of Rourke's Drift during the Anglo Zulu war due to the stark differences between the two kinds of men and how they viewed each other's humanity ie viewing the other as less than human because they're nothing like me. Empathy is always easy when your opponent could easily pass for your cousin.

The problem with this kind of video (let's say "American") is the lack of global context of this war.

If Italy didn't invade Ottoman held Libya and islands off Turkey in 1911, I don't think WW1 would have happened. With Italy defeating the Ottoman Empire, this started a chain reaction that lead to Italy backed Balkans fighting Ottoman Empire for more land. (Balkan wars of 1911-1913). In 1914, Princip shot Ferdinand due to Ferdinand's support for Bulgaria to take over land Serbia fought and acquired from the Ottoman Empire. Maybe that time would have just been a cold war between UK, France, Germany, etc... with cooler heads prevailing?

I just wanna ask; Will we be seeing your reaction to Armchair Historian's video on Sherman's March as well as Epic History TV's Napoleon in Egypt Part 2 anytime soon?

Have to correct one thing the assassin Gavrilo Princip was never part of the black hand, he was part of the organization called Young Bosnia which was more anarchist pro-Yugoslav organization not a ultranationalist one like black hand, and yes Black Hand did had a lot of influence over Serbian government in a way they got to do whatever they want without Serbian government being able to control them, so they supplied weapons and logistics to Young Bosnia, also Gavrilo Princip was an Austrian citizen as were his co-cospirators, so they were actually tried by austrian courts, it would be like US citizen of Mexican origin (born and raised in USA) killing US president and USA invading Mexico for that. Also even so Serbia accepted very harsh ultimatum the point in question being point 6 where Austrian courts could operate in Serbia and arrest and convict anyone they wanted, Serbia didn't refused that point but left if for mediation for Great Powers and if they decided that Serbia should accept point 6, then Serbia would oblige. When German emperor saw Serbian response to ultimatum he said "well it seems there is no reason to go to war anymore" but Austria went and declared it anyway, and since blame for war usually goes to the country that first attacked and it's aggressor country, therefore the blame for war is usually given to Austria and Germany.

RIght off the bat, I'd say imperialism is a big reason. The Balkans for example were designed on the table (through arbitrary borders, foreign rulers and their dynastic ties, politics) in a way to remain small (partially under someone else's rule) and angry, so that was always a ticking bomb and the Balkan wars definitely didn't help. But that's still due to the Great Powers. Their Greatness "allowed" them to meddle in other peoples' affairs, which was not appreciated by the latter. Hence the dead ostrich?

18:42 This is actually a myth. Granted I know more about France than Germany in WW1, but after the war, to contrast with the somber mood, there was this idea that soldiers went to war "la fleur au fusil", i.e. with flowers in their rifle muzzles, to portray the populations as naively optimistic. Same idea as "the war will be over by Christmas". However it's largely untrue, at least for France and I'm guessing to be nuanced for Germany: farmers weren't happy about leaving their fields and families to go to war, workers were pretty disillusioned with how socialist and social democratic parties all over Europe had rallied behind national governments for an "imperialist war", and people were scared about going to war. Now, many didn't think the war would last very long, certainly not four years, but I don't think a lot of people were cheering going into it. People may have cheered soldiers going into what seemed like a defensive or just war.

Fan fact - when British entered Jerusalem in 1917 they made it very clear that they occupied the city primarily as modern non-religious military's force and not in the name of any religion in order to not cause stir between anyone living in that city (Orthodox, Catholics, Muslims and Jews).

I think that the Bosnian Crisis of 1908-09 played a major role in how many of the countries involved in the July Crisis of 1914 behaved. I really don't think it gets mentioned enough. WWI probably would have started then if Russia hadn't backed down at that time. This diplomatic humiliation almost certainly played a role in Russia not backing down in 1914. Also Franz Ferdinand is never assassinated in Sarajevo, if the annexation of Bosnia by Austria-Hungary didn't happen, or was overturned. Firstly because Franz Ferdinand probably wouldn't have went there if it wasn't part of the Empire. Secondly because while Serbia, who felt the territory should be theirs, was forced to back down when Russia did, they only did so officially. They continued to unofficially agitate against Austro-Hungarian control of Bosnia. So basically the outcome of the Bosnian Crisis, is the reason that both Franz Ferdinand was in Sarajevo, and that there were Sebian backed assassins trying to kill him. It also played a significant role in creating further animosity between Italy and Austria-Hungary. There was an agreement where neither would expand, without providing territorial compensation to the other. When Austria-Hungary annexed Bosnia, and Germany backed them, they felt no need to compensate Italy. Especially after Russia backed down.

I believe firmly in Russia being responsible. Not for a war starting, that blame falls to Austria. But for making it a World War instead instead of a regional war in the Balkans like there had been in the decades prior. Had Russia not mobilized, my Guess is minimal German involvement, no French involvement, and no British involvement because there's no reason to invade France through Belgium. I think Russia is the piece of the puzzle that remove it and it remains a regional war.
