    Same. This is where it all began, and you can clearly see how much his editing skills have improved, but you can also see certain techniques that he still practices today. He even used the punch effect when Germany invaded Belgium at 2:28. And also you could see the use of the same red arrows he uses today.

    I think we should share oversimplified videos in schools. Despite being oversimplified, he does give out a lot of good information, but not just that, he does it in an entertaining way. So when kids watch these vids, they get a good idea of what likely happened, and then, with this knowledge at hand, it can encourage them to study and know more of the intricate details.

    @Cyber_Spartan 300 Ikr in fact in ww2 it was The Germans VS the British, French, Russia, USA. Germanys main allies: Italy and Japan. Italy: "We are such a tough country that the Germans actually want us. So we actually raided the small British island British Somaliland as our one only success in the war" (which the British seized back within a year). Japan: Basically had its own plans, didn't really like Germany and they didn't even fight with them even when they were on the same battlefield. Did not sink any Russian ships full of USA weapons to support Russia against Germany which led to their own downfall. If the Germans had one good ally that worked together then I'm pretty sure it would be a very even war.

    Fun fact, despite the many treaties, Britain initially held off entering the war because it felt the continent wasn't it's business and it was fun being on its own. The ONLY treaty they took seriously was they promised to protect and honour Belgium's neutrality. Germany, having seen Britain not want to get involved, assumed that meant it wouldn't at all, and thus went through Belgium, and then did a gigantic OH CRAP when it realised that for once, Britain wasn't lying when it made a promise to someone. Makes you wonder what would have happened had German not attacked through Belgium

    Two fun facts 1. Franz actually died in part to not taking cover to save his own life, he instead threw himself over his wife to make sure she survived, and even in his dying moments all he said was asking if his wife was okay. Props to Franz for that. 2. If Austria-Hungary had actually declared war way sooner, odds are WW1 would have never happened, because at first pretty much all the great powers agreed that Serbia has a part in it and saw Austria-Hungary's justification as righteous. But AH took so long to mobilize that everyone figured it was no linger over Franz and more over exerting control over the Balkans.

    Feeling like telling some things about a school trip I had, related to WW1 because I'm mostly passionate about WW1, and also why not Back in elementary school, in what we call "CM1" in the French grades (the grade before the last grade in elementary in the French school system), we went on a class trip to No Man's land, visiting a museum about WW1 and everything surrounding it. At the end of the museum, we even got someone to make a presentation about the muskets, the huge weaponry etc. It was pretty awesome. Walking on the path in No Man's land felt surreal. The grass, regrown. Everything was cleaned up, and nice; nothing like what I had remembered from history class with the atrocities... Imagining that millions of soldiers died here, infected with pests, poisonous water along the muddy floor is horrible to think about. There was wooden floor along the trenches. I even got a little postal card from the visit with a bookmark! We got to trade cards with classmates, I got lucky and managed to trade mine. Got a postal card of No Man's land and a picture of the trenches. We went to visit the graveyards too. Before going to No Man's land, we visited a few areas left as memorials, with shellshocks. There were signs with something along the lines of "There might still be ammo, watch your step" at the entrance. Saw a poppy field in the distance. This was probably the most memorable school trip I will have. I remember everything clearly. The uniforms I saw at the museum, the firearms, the poppy field, and the memorials. The hard, wooden floor of No Man's land as well as the few hundreds of gravestones we saw amongst the millions of other soldier's graves. I remember, at the museum we had a little "Flip-book sized" stack of papers together. It was a little quiz. As we progressed through the museum, we needed to fill it in with the correct information. Gosh, I miss the old days where we had school trips like these at our schools.

    Funfact: The German General Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck held out for 4 years with 14.000 soldiers (3000 Germans and 11.000 Africans or Askaris) against 300.000 British soldiers despite being cut off from any supply line. He did this by being a brilliant strategist who moved his troops quickly and efficiently but also by treating his African troops as equals to the other Germans. During the Spanish Flu, when rations dwindled, only few soldiers deserted since they had all become so loyal and attached to von Lettow-Vorbeck. Decades later, in 1964 when von Lettow-Vorbeck died, the West-German Bundestag (parliament) decided to give back dated pay to all the surviving Askaris. So, a banker was flown to Mwanza at Lake Victoria who set up a provisional cashier‘s office. 350 former soldiers returned but only few of them could present documents, which von Lettow-Vorbeck had handed them out by the end of the war, to prove that they had served. So instead, others showed their uniforms to prove their service but there were still many left with no evidence. Then, the cashier had an idea: He gave all the men a broomstick and ordered them to perform the Prussian/German drill like they would‘ve done with a weapon. Not a single one of them failed the test and they were given their pay.

    Not taking a shot at this video, but I remember when it came out, I thought it was really good. But after watching “pig wars” I can’t believe how far he’s come in quality. He’s more enthusiastic in his speaking, his humor is consistent without getting too stale, and just the overall way he delivers the information is so much better.
