World War II - Part 1 (WWI)
Dr. Roy Casagranda sets up the background to WWI and explains some of the moving parts of the brutal conflict. In parts 1 and 2, the question he's tying to answer is, "Why did WWII happen?"

About to sit through this but how the hell am I supposed to pay attention to a dr. Casagranda talk if he's not gesticulating and pacing all over the place?!?! That's like %50 of the fun and the inculcating/inoculating prowess of this man. Praying for the quick mending of that ailed limb, that literal pillar of knowledge. Salam

Hello everyone. I'm a German history student who happened upon this lecture. First and foremost, I must say I'm deeply impressed by the speaker's skills and the wealth of knowledge being shared here. However, I'd like to point out two minor errors that caught my attention. When Dr. Casagranda began talking about Prussia, he mentioned that the Polish king called upon the Prussians to fight for him. In fact, the Prussians were one of the tribes living in the present-day Baltics who posed such challenges to the Polish kings. So, it wasn't the Prussians he called upon, but rather the Teutonic Order. This was a knightly order, akin to the Knights Hospitaller or the Knights Templar, founded during the First Crusade in the Holy Land, which, after the collapse of the Crusader states, sought territories. After an unsuccessful attempt in the Balkans, it established its own domain in the Baltics which was called Prussia much later. Following the Reformation, the Order's territory became a secular duchy, and because the last Grand Master came from the House of Hohenzollern, he became its duke. However, this line of the house eventually died out, and Prussia thus passed to Brandenburg, which was also ruled by the Hohenzollerns. The second minor error concerns the statement: "Prussia is an army without a state." In fact, I'm not familiar with this exact phrase; rather, it's often quoted slightly differently: "Other states have an army, but the Prussian army has a state." This phrase doesn't originate from the time when the Teutonic Order conquered the territories of Prussia, but rather from the 18th and 19th centuries. Allegedly attributed to the French statesman Honoré Gabriel de Mirabeau, this statement refers to the militarization in Prussia, which began not until after the Thirty Years' War, flourished in the 18th century, and was further strengthened after the Napoleonic Wars through the "Prussian reforms."
I couldn't remember how i found this man on KZread, but he is by far the best teacher i have ever known. Thank you again, I wish you a fast recovery of your injuries.

I feel like people who watch these lectures should be awarded academic credits. Always has such an insightful and illuminating account of the people, places and events from our past that continue to resonate today.
I only discovered these lectures by Dr Casagrande a few weeks ago and I can't get enough of them! I do have to take issue with him over the end of WW1. In the final 3-4 months of the was, after the German offensive was stopped the German army was comprehensively beaten. The arrival of large numbers of US soldiers was a really crucial factor. After the war a myth arose that Germany's defeat was due to a collapse on the home front. This myth of "the stab in the back " was used by the Nazi's. It's simply not true, the army was beaten and that was like the last straw!
Salam from Ramallah Dr. Casagandra , may you please tell the story of the Nakba or Omar AlKhattab. My family sits and watches your lectures and in a time when school is shut because of the war , you bring knowledge and experience that even our best teachers can’t accomplish with a powerful engaging way. My children benefit immensely as do I. Also may you recover soon our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Mind blowing this one talk explains so much of history I didn’t realize tied together and has great meaning for where we are today!
A bit with Prussia is a bit more complicated. Polish duke granted land to Teutons (Knighty Order) to defend agaisnt "real' Prussians that were pagan baltic people. Teutons were effective but also very ambitious and through machinations finally established independent state. State consisted of lands taken from polish dukes and conquered territories from Prussians(in series of papaly approved crusades). In conquest and administration they were very effective and very brutal creating suprisingly powerful medieval state. Large income was also generated from crusades, as western knights paid a lot to participate in holy raids againts pagans. After around 150years Poland finally consolidated and allied with LIthuanians to retake stolen lands and remove Teutonic threat. After series of wars Teutonic State was cut down to East Prussia only, and finally in 1525 they secularized into protestant Duchy of Prussia as vassal of Polish Kings. In 1618 the Prussian line of Hohenzollern has ended and Brandenurgian Hohenzollerns took over and formed personal union. Then in 1657 Duchy of Prussia became soveregin, in 1701 King in Prussia title was established. And then, after some 40-50 years , militarization really became so radical that we can say of state built around army.

Waiting for more lectures. I really enjoy his lectures. Too far between posts, not only for this lecture series, but his lectures in all.
His story is so inaccurate! Greece got independence in 1832, not in 1850’s. Russia didn’t declare war on Austria-Hungary, she only started mobilization and then Germany declared war on Russia on 1 August 1914 and Austria-Hungary followed on 6 August. The British didn’t want to enter the war. The Germans didn’t want to fight the English. Russia wasn’t the first to invade another superpower - the French attacked Germany on August 7, while Russia attacked Germany 10 days later. Britain was outbuilding the German navy because they had a doctrine of being stronger than two any other navies combined, so it wasn’t competition of Britain against Germany, but vice versa. He forgot to mention that Russia tried to seize the Hawaiis in early 19 century but was kicked out by the Americans. Japan annexed Korea in 1904, not in 1895. Alliance between England and France wasn’t the first in Europe, Germany and Austria had got it before. His gesturing doesn’t help to improve his narrative.

If your right then his numbers are off, slightly off, however. He contains so much historical facts that one might get some dates mixed up. With that being said he knows exactly what transpired chronically. History isnt just regurgitating dates, its what led up to each event, and he portrayed that perfectly.
Please doctor talk about history of what’s going on right now in the Middle East I know you’ve done a general talk on the whole Middle East but can you just focus on the history of Palestine Israel?

He's nuts to blame Great Britain for WWI. It was the Germans who invaded Belgium and France in a war of aggression. Without German militarism and aggression against other sovereign states, there would have been no WWI. WWII was a consequence of the failure of the Allies to invade and permanently occupy Germany and to dismantle and control its military. It took WWII for the Allies to learn this lesson.
