    You can see some of the horrors the carnage, men walking into their Death, nothing could make you understand the noise and smell especially in a multi year war, horrible terrain for trench warfare especially as it seemed to rain non stop, think it was some of the wettest year's on record that clay holding water and all sorts of bits of humans and animals mixed in some crazy soup in a massive shell crater, slip in you'll never get out and become part of that crazy soup, that had to be most brutal war to date, even do the Ukrainians and Russians are close second and probably pass WW1 for wasting life the longer it go's on, probably end us all 😢🍄‍🟫🍄‍🟫

    you'd rather fight in ww2 over this hell, because in ww2 they didn't full on fucking charge machine guns in entrenched positions with nothing but a prayer, modern tech met old-school warfare in ww1, which led to this being the war you had the least chance of surviving, ww2 killed a shitload more, but it had more soldiers, more fronts, and lasted 2 years longer, thew only exception could be the german soviet front, which was by far the highest death toll in the war

    Some extra information. This is still to this day considered the deadliest day in the history of the British armed forces. What is more is that during ww1 when units were formed young men from the same and neighbouring towns were placed in the same unit to improve coordination. Unfortunately that meant that when a unit suffered heavy casualties the youth of an entire town could be wiped. On that day many villages and small towns in Britain lost all or most of their young men. An entire generation wiped out in just a few hours. Motorhead has made a song about this battle which sabaton has recently remade called 1916. Personally I prefer the remake more, however I recommend listening to both. We should never forget these men and their sacrifices, regardless of their side during the war.

    • @aetius7139
      @aetius7139 3 місяці тому

      It isnt though. WW1 is less about territory. But rather contest of resources. Both the allies and central power realized that the only way to achieve victory is to break the will of the people fighting them. Its ultimately is Kill/Death ratio contest. As to why the fight is a bit complex. A series of treaties and alliances that are meant to be countermeasures to stop war become a catalyst to make european countries going to war. By late 18th century, germany become a new superpower kid on the block. Russia eager to expand its influence, try to expand its influence in the balkans at the expense of the ottomans and austria-hungary. Both then seek the help and allied with new superpower, germany to keep russia at bay. Russia alarmed with this 3 neighboring country allied. Then sought germany nemesis, france for ally just in case germany attacks. France eager to avenge their loss in franco-prussian war decades earlier. Was more than happy to ally with russia. Italy was also a new country, at first they side with central powers, but later disagreements on territorial boundries with austria make them join the allies. Britain wanted to stay out of war. But after germany attacked belgium unprovoked. Joins the war.

      Because there are too many people, the ghost cant focus on some one to haunt, also children which have that weird aura that nullify the presence of a ghost, especially a lot of children. In my country, school only built on old graveyard or heavily haunted place, because with time, children/student presence nullify the presence of the ghost.
