Oh, and why did they fight? Ah, I see. For no reason at all, nice.
1.Centralisation of power
2.Nationalism
3.millitary weapon that the main cause
They all fight for ressources (money) it is as stupid as fighting for nothing
4. More money
Imperialism nationalism militarism allied forces
And ofc the assassination of archduke

World War I, also known as the Great War, was a global conflict that lasted from 1914 to 1918. It was a monumental event in history, reshaping the political landscape and laying the foundation for future conflicts. This essay will delve into the causes, major events, and consequences of World War I.
The origins of World War I can be traced back to a complex web of political, economic, and social factors. The system of alliances that dominated Europe at the time played a crucial role. The Triple Entente, consisting of France, Russia, and the United Kingdom, stood against the Triple Alliance of Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy. These alliances created a delicate balance of power, but also increased the risk of a large-scale conflict.
The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary in Sarajevo on June 28, 1914, acted as the spark that ignited the powder keg of tensions. Austria-Hungary, seeking to assert dominance in the Balkans, declared war on Serbia. The domino effect began as other nations got involved due to their alliances, drawing the world into a war of unprecedented scale.
The Western Front became a gruesome theater of trench warfare, characterized by stagnant lines, barbed wire, and devastating artillery barrages. Soldiers faced not only enemy fire but also the harsh conditions of the trenches - mud, rats, and constant fear. Technological advancements, such as machine guns and chemical weapons, added a new level of brutality to the conflict.
On the Eastern Front, the war saw dynamic changes in territorial control as Russia clashed with Germany and Austria-Hungary. The war also extended beyond Europe, involving various colonies and theaters worldwide. Battles in the Middle East, Africa, and Asia demonstrated the truly global nature of World War I.
The entry of the United States into the war in 1917 had a profound impact on the balance of power. President Woodrow Wilson's call for a "war to end all wars" and the establishment of the League of Nations reflected a desire for a lasting peace. However, the human and economic toll of the war was immense, with millions of lives lost and economies shattered.
The war concluded with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles in 1919. The treaty, a product of the Paris Peace Conference, aimed to reshape the world order and hold Germany accountable for the war. However, its harsh terms, including territorial losses and reparations, sowed the seeds of resentment and contributed to the rise of extremism in Germany, ultimately leading to World War II.
World War I had far-reaching consequences that extended beyond the immediate post-war period. The map of Europe was redrawn, empires crumbled, and new nations emerged. The League of Nations, though a noble effort, proved ineffective in preventing future conflicts. The war also left a deep psychological impact, with the term "Lost Generation" reflecting the disillusionment of those who experienced the horrors of the trenches.
Economically, the war accelerated technological advancements and industrial growth but also left a legacy of debt and disruption. The social fabric of many societies was forever altered, with changing roles for women and shifts in political ideologies. The scars of World War I echoed through the 20th century, influencing geopolitical dynamics and setting the stage for the challenges of the modern era.
In conclusion, World War I was a pivotal moment in history that reshaped the world in profound ways. The causes, major events, and consequences of the war highlight the complexity and interconnectedness of global affairs. As we reflect on this chapter in history, it serves as a reminder of the enduring importance of diplomacy, cooperation, and the pursuit of lasting peace in the face of conflict.
Thank you

And Americans were promised forever peace if they sent troops into WW1 😂 and why the US only entered WW2 towards the end and Russia took the majority of loses defeating the Nazis
You are so smart
But it's true relevance is American Indian and African American soldiers who originally weren't allowed to fight, who ended up fighting, and then used that momentum back home for civil rights in America 🇺🇸
WAR IS HELL,,,,NO ONE WINS,,,ONLY WASTED DEATH
Actually, war has its place. It stopped Hitler.
I don't care what people say but these WW1 soldiers are the strongest soldiers ever
Sure man!
Let’s go oilers!
Ever heard of the Spartans? Athens? Vikings etc? Yeah those soldiers, those were the strongest ever. They didn't have guns.
EVER? ... we have NO idea who came before them
Spartans weren't anything special, 300 just made that look mental.
This is seriously AMAZING it didn’t take much time and the explanation is brilliant keep it up!!

world tensions had been growing throughout Europe following Germany's unification and annexation of French territories after the franco-prussian war of 1870. Germany's rise upset the European balance of powers and led to a game of alliances the spark was struck in Bosnia where the heir to the austro-hungarian Empire was killed by a Serbian nationalist struggling to end austro-hungarian rule over Bosnia Austria-Hungary supported by Germany blamed the Serbian government for the attack and declared war on Serbia which
was backed by Russia Allied to France within a week World War One unfolded Germany's strategy known as the schlafen plan was for a war on two fronts against France and Russia the plan was to rapidly concentrate the bulk of its Army in the west to defeat France first then shift forces to the east before Russia could fully mobilize in Asia Japan sided with Britain seizing German colonies in China and the Pacific the Ottoman Empire historic enemy of the Russian Empire entered the war on the side of Austria-Hungary and Germany

Front and the huge naval battle of Jutland between the German and British fleets in 1916. the recent invention of Aviation was first used for observations then planes were gradually used for bombing and air combat around the world European colonies and British dominions such as India engaged in war from 1914 to 1916 Russia's Army mounted several offensives on the Eastern front but was unable to break through the German lines to support geographically isolated Russia Allied Forces tried to open a sea Supply Route via the Dardanelle Strait
02:52
and then later launched a land invasion of the Gallipoli Peninsula both campaigns failed against ottoman resistance Italy which was initially part of the Triple Alliance with Germany and Austria-Hungary had stayed neutral until 1915 as it turned against Austria-Hungary to Annex new territories the 12 Italian offensives along the sonso river yielded little result aspiring to recover Balkan territories Bulgaria joined the Central Powers in invading Serbia in the Seas the Royal Navy imposed the naval blockade on

Germany while German submarines were used to sink Military and Commercial ships supplying the Allies including those coming from the U.S in addition Britain intercepted and transmitted the German telegram to Mexico offering an alliance against the United States which decided to go to war in 1917. Russia's lack of advances on the battlefield and economic instability exploded in the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 which ended Russian involvement in World War one and later led to the creation of the Soviet Union
03:55
although Russia was out of the game and Germany was able to focus on the Western Front it was unable to achieve quick Victory against the allies before the arrival of U.S troops despite the ottoman victory at Gallipoli later defeats and then Arab Revolt backed by the British forced the church to sign a treaty with the Allies in October 1918.

including Poland Finland turkey Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia Germany was forced to cut down its Army and pay heavy War reparations as it was considered the sole responsible for war damages by the Treaty of Versailles the treaty was considered the humiliation by the German people and laid the groundwork for World War II despite the creation of the League of Nations that aimed at promoting peace
THANK YOU VERY MUCHHH
Alliance won world 1
Thxx ..u deserve my like.
To think, everything bad that happened in the 1900’s, from wars to Hitler, was because a driver went the wrong way, an archduke was killed, and a bunch of countries started being petty. Insane.
60,000 Australians were killed during WW1. Australian Casualties
According to the Australian War Memorial website from a population of fewer than five million, 416,809 men enlisted, of which over 60,000 were killed and 156,000 wounded, gassed, or taken prisoner.
My Australian Great Uncle was one of those killed. He’s buried in Belgium 🥲
I only put this in here as sometimes Australia gets forgotten during war history.
Darwin Australian had more bombs dropped on it than Pearl Harbour during WW2.
the moment u close the map at 1:33, I don't understand 1 shit anymore. I need bird eye view visual, not history war picture slideshow.
This video is absolutely fantastic! The way you've managed to condense such a complex and vast topic into a concise and clear presentation is remarkable.
It worries when an American accent describes history. They typically turn up years late and pretend all other history doesn't exist. Like the world began with America...
The videos are produced in England. "We will cover most chapters of Human History from Antiquity to the Cold War and will post 2 new videos per month (every other Friday at 6PM London Time."
It helps me alott.. And answerd my all queries which I had in this topic of history
same used this to study and its amazing
No before no continuing against humanity final call Islam fann Kullu Mann alayeha faann jinnatiy wannas ajmayinn illabiiznillah Inshaallah
why are we fighting?…..Idk.
BUT HERE’S HOW
Good Video fr very helpful for my test
i agree
My Adhd still had me day dreaming off topic during this 🤣but due 2 the speed and compression of information, I took in like 89%
😂😂
Great video. You forgot Canada, more than 650K Canadians fought in this war!
Why did they fight?
Hmmm it's not really mentioned anywhere even in WW2
Canada shouldn't even bother fighting wars because nobody ever remembers when we save their sorry asses.
1st and great video
Keep pausing and wright and you have pages of information
Interesting overview of World War 1 but why use that famous fence scene from the civil war in it ?
@TheDiscoveryHistory3:54
our forefathers were fools
أهلا بشباب الفيصلية ركز في الدرس ليه تقرأ التعليقات؟
anyone know - it is suggested i get WW1&2 history books 20 years ago 10 years ago and published in 2018 - does anyone know what i will find?
Great channel
Don’t stop
Centralization of power, nationalism and military weapons that the main cause.
Great video! However, your picture of dead soldiers at about the 30 second mark is from the US Civil War
eh...Dead bodies are Dead bodies.
Damn only noticed that now
@@whollenbeck8by your logic you can make a ww1 documentary using pictures of dead soldiers from Iraq war in 2003?
Well spotted.. I saw that and though it looked mighty odd lol
Watching this as I smoke a cigarette after gym
Bro sounds like he’s gunna send me to bleak falls barrow on a quest

Thank you for that video 😊

4:42
World war 1 will always be remembered
Guestion to the author of the video, how do you feel about the fact that if I translate your videos into Russian? (Of course, the original author will be mentioned in the video)
And yes, as you understand, I want to translate your videos from English into Russian, and yes, completely free
@@isko008 Sure.
Let me know if I got this right. Every country hates another country. Some countries that don’t hate each other make an alliance. Another group of countries that don’t hate each other (but each is hated by a country in the first alliance) feel threatened and they answer with making another alliance on their own. Now that there are two great powers that are rapidly growing in political and military might they just search for an excuse to start a war because the two sides have a lot of hate relationships. It’s more like several small conflicts that would lead to individual smaller wars but because of all the uniting everything got linked and formed one Great War of many conflicts. And as the war is going each side recruits more countries that also have a negative relationship of one of the enemy countries.
it would be cool if you could show us your sources
Lol this isn’t a fucking thesis; it’s a fucking UA-cam video.
...And peer reviews.
What sources do you want..theres a whole multipages long article of it on wikipedia
@@Fran_Tluanga i dont need the sources anymore, i wanted to do more research on ww1 topics since i had an exam in it but now its over and i got an A
@@engineerscientist8699 yea actually me too, im having an exam at the end of the year..thing is everybody's gonna write almost the same story, i just want to write in short but interesting way😥
Thank you for this video. It really helps.
We have won the war, our country has gained glory, and our spoils are land, even if sacrifice How many lives are worth it.
ඔහ් මේ මගුල අපේ විභාගෙට ඇවිල්ලා අපිට වද දෙනවා රෙද්ද එපා වෙනවා 😂
You didnt explain why germany austria and ottoman started fighting france russia japan and usa.
In ww1 Germany and France declared war on each other despite both their armies being where they're supposed to be. Both Germany and France had the security system that has every power.
Britain didn't declare war on Germany until the German army had gone through Belgium. The German army is not supposed to be in Belgium. Britain had mi5 that does agent handling and surveillance, and then police that display badges and arrest people.

It's results have directly impacted every issue in our world today.
1) USA/Mexico border was constructed in 1918 and only exists due to a potential Mexican/German alliance due to the Zimmerman Note.
2) The Ottoman Empire lost it's lands outside of Anatolia, which gave way to the British Mandate, as well as the current House of Saud. The Arab countries are born out of rebellion against the Turks. (With English help)
3) 99% of Ethnic Germans in the United States severed their connection to the old country out of a show of loyalty. Resulting in loss of language. (German is the largest European point of ancestry in the United States besides Spain)
4) African American & American Indian soldiers were segregated and broke those barriers in war and returned home fiercely fighting for desegregation and voting rights.
*Literally the whole world is what it is because of this*
☮🕊
😮😊 I learned a lot
Austria & Hungary were actually one country, and that’s kind of weird because, Otto was actually turkey
How is that a summary ?😃
Green 😋😋😋
US should have joined earlier.
Love the last image as he says "Peace" we see Adolph Hitler
Awesome video
The War to end all Wars, and all it did was set the stage for an even deadlier war that would have a genocide of millions and the unveiling of the most devastating weapon created by mankind.
Why Nato failed
well,. they've all really just been battles in one WAR, I think the KJV refers to it as a RACE, where there isn't but One Winner,.. I don't believe in having any violence in LIFE, unless there is a finish to 'IT', so we need to learn how to stop performing violence with the use of all bodies, and just overcome all struggles inside our MINDS, as I have done with my EVOL'S MIND,.. I have names for the entities in my Mind who are the predecessors, & successors of all entities anyway, therefore it doesn't matter who wins the battles in my MIND, now as long as ppl are aware that I have subdued All Evil of the EVOL'S MIND§ËT,.. 🛡️👁️👶👅⚔️
Dhanyavad 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

🎉😢
I was exposed to I survivor, thought seriously injured and bedridden due to gas, I at approximately age 4 had the chance to visit with my Uncle Earl. He was married to my father's father's sister, Besse Bizzelle. Of course I had no concept of war just remember visiting with my Uncle Earl.
it was always a big question, why the most of Crime, like WW1, WW2, terrorists attacks in those wars, Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Apartheid, Colonize, Genocides from N-Amerika to Australia, Slave trade, terrorism in Land and Sea, done by Western states, while Western States that at least on paper and visually act al the time like human rights, children”s rights inspector in the world and even attacked several countries, because as per Western States there was no human rights and Democracy. But in the recent Genocide against innocent children and women and elders and destroying of residential houses, hospitals, churches, mosques, children refugee camps in Gaza, and unconditional full support of Western states gives the answer!!!!
Cảm ơn bạn đã cho tôi biết về chiến tranh thế giới lần thứ nhất
You lose a little bit of credibility when one of the first pictures you show about World War I is actually a picture from the Civil War...
Is he Lebanese
All this death for no reason. Besides greed and ego started all this.
а как же Февральская революция в России? так-то у России внутри проблемы начались ещё в феврале, а не в октябре.
Good starting point. Now learn more.
you can't explain/teach history in 5 minutes. who's behind this "lesson," AI?
Wars = waste of life! Money and time ! Caused by idiotic control freak MEN!
Good video
So greater than

1:08 4:40
Every soldiers where strong but those Germans 🥶
Seriously, what a waste of precious lives.
Why there is not a word about Armenian genocide? 🤦
What are the effects of first word war
99% of Germans in America sever the old country out of loyalty, African & Native soldiers break barriers in the military and use the momentum as they return, Ottoman Empire loses it's territory outside of Anatolia resulting in Arab countries, Saud Dynasty, and British Mandate. And first official border put up between USA & Mexico due to distrust over a Mexican/German alliance.
All the complicated talking bla bla bla 😂 and they didn’t even tell us the reason why did ww1 start it tottaly started for some fighting over who should get more milk
No it's due to a conflict of ideals.
What do you just have done😢
😮🥺
1:17
Italy in allied power?
And it will happens again
Ah, war... human against human? Nice...
You exceeded 19 secs bro 😅
The freedom we aspire to
I think that the tragedy of war is that people go thinking that it's like a sport or maybe they have an ego to wear a uniform, but it ends more like watching people die of old age or cancer. People have that feeling about construction or a job like being a plumber until they had to start by doing the rough-ins with a shovel in basements. You have to dig and fill a trench with gravel. Then I worked with people from vietnam and they're very relaxed working all day and nice. If you work with them they're nice. If you are a business man or salesman they don't want nothing to do with you. I think that personality kind of changed and that's why they prefer illegals. I think it's a sense of who's going to abandon you. They stick with you if you stick with them.
World war 1, 1914-1918
😮It has been a good learn
