That is the best recap I have seen on UA-cam about the battle of Liège so far. One year ago I visited in one day each of the 12 forts. A month later did the tour of Fort de Loncin. It is truly impressive. And yes, essentially the Germans lost the First World War because of the failure of the Schlieffen plan. The Germans attacked Liège at the night of the 4th to the 5th of August and the only took Liège at the 15th of August 1914. The Schlieffen plan was to 'surprise' the French and BEF forces by not allowing them ample time to gather enough strength. The German army should have been at the French border by the 9th or the 10th (i.e. after 4 or 5 days). That clearly didn't happen and the speed and element of surprise was lost because of the resistance at Liège. Within a month German had what it always dreaded the most, a war on two fronts. All chances of Germany winning the war were lost from the very start of the war. Of course 4.5 years of essentially stalemate followed and the world changed forever. But if Liège and it's forts wouldn't have been there the 20th century might have looked very different indeed.
@@istoppedcaring6209 The defenders of Fort de Loncin were both from Wallon as well as Flemish background. The tour guide, an older man with really much knowledge spoke both Dutch and French. In the defense of Liège there were only Belgiums ☺. I can highly advise the tour.
Not true, the attack was conducted by the peace strength army, around 25k germans. The full march trough Belgium with the mobilized first and second army was scheduled at the 13th day of mobilization. Which in this case would be exactly the 15th of august. The attack on liege did not slow down the attacking germans and march order at all.
Waouh, I never knew Lemant got scared and withdraw most troops from the forts front ! I wonder how much time they could have bought if he didn't think the Germans had gotten through the forts ! Great video !
I tend to agree. The defence of Liège, although lost, did accomplish one absolutely crucial goal. It delayed the Schlieffen plan just enough for the French and British to gather defensive forces so that the first battle of the Marne was won by the French and British. This made the Schlieffen plan fail! The second important fact was that the Russians assembled enough forces much quicker than the Germans anticipated. Hence Germany got what it feared the most, war on two fronts. Liège played the most crucial role!!!
fun fact: after General Lemant was captured he offered his sword to a german officer . as was tradition at the time . but the german officer let him keep his sword out of respect for what he had accomplished ( delay the Germans for 12 days, and defending Leige to the end )
Amazing video! Your speaking tone and cadence was my only small issue with the last video and it seems like you’ve improved a lot! Great work and I’m excited to see future videos
You explain everything very well. I’m looking forward for more of this videos, I’d love if you could make videos about different battles from different wars instead of focusing just in ww1.
You say that Leman did panic and send the field division away. Leman was known as the man without emotions, no one ever saw him smile when he was the director of the Belgian military school. No he did not panic but stayed cool and foresaw what was going to happen. Thought the mass of the German army and the logistics could not pass, small cavalry units were passing trough on small roads (by nearly crossing the Dutch frontier and outranking the Belgian fortress artillery, if he did not send those infantry units back to the main Belgian Field Army, they risked to get trapped and would have been lost. They did escape in time and fought the rest of the war against the Germans. By the way the architect of the fortresses around liege, general Brialmont had foreseen to erect a fort to defend this so-called gap of Visé. It was not build because of budgetary reasons. General Brialmont predicted that this would be over which the Belgian nation would “weep tears of blood". He was right and Leman know it as good as Brialmont. in the interbellum Eben-Emael was build to close this gap. But that is another story.
general leman was captured unconcious in fort Loncin which was hit in the ammunition storage by a big bertha shell destroying it completely. when the germans came over to take over the rubble they came under fire from a few of the survivors including a 1 armed belgian soldier, the fate of these men is unknown. after his capture, amputation of a few of his toes and regaining conciousness Leman expressively stated that it should be written down that he was only captured because he was unconcious at the time. I think he was also allowed to keep wearing his sabre during his captivity. after he came back to belgium he received a hero's welcome and got uplifted into nobility. he passed away in 1920
Did you read "10 days in August" from Terence Zuber? It's 600 pages, describing everything that happened during the siege. From Army Corps lvl to that of the individual soldier.
I was told that my great great grandma was a rebel in belgium and every night you had to go home by 8 pm but she wanted to get eggs and she just went out ans she said "im going to get eggs i dont care about the rules and if they dare touch me then..." total savage
a genius, that is assuming much, war was allready expected and years priors the germans had allready devised this plan and asked for a treaty, it was denied on the grounds of belgian neutrality, but it was well known that since the franco prussian war of 1870-71 the French certainly wanted vengeance and the germans were a bit to confident in the suposed superiority of their troops add to this that the germans asked for free passage through Belgium before they actually invaded it, hoping to keep the brittish out of the war and be able to move much faster there was a very positive view of the germans in Belgium, especially by the flemish at that time, but Belgium was inherently tied to france, (not something i like) from French revolutionary occupation to the bogus revolution and French invasion that cut it from the united Netherlands, French influence was severe, and those few rebels that had fought in that parc, virtually all were frenchified bourgeoisy hoping to create a republic, the French wanted to anex, the dutch wanted to beat down this rebellion, (which the French army made impossible ofcourse) and the brittish were by that time anxious about the increasingly absulutist monarchy in the Netherlands (the roundheads had made them a parliamentary monarchy, and hoped the Netherlands would be to, and they absolutely refused the idea of a then very radical republic, thus they decided to force a compromise, which was Belgium, this compromise lead to over 150 years of oppression of the flemish people, which had started with the French revolution, the university of ghent was made French, French was the only recognized language, you could not be a postman without speaking French, the law was French and so on and so forth) anyway, the generals were all friends of French, as was the officer core ofcourse, flanders had little to no say, so he both had reason to expect a war, and reason to dislike the germans, which forced his decision,
@@istoppedcaring6209 A lot of what you say isn't true and is driven by 20th century propaganda and mismatch. "There was a very positive view of the germans in Belgium", indeed there was, and specially in Liège which had a lot of exchange, commercial and cultural with the German empire. A large part of nowadays Wallonia was germanophile due to a fear of the french invasion (look at the fort around Namur oriented towards France). "This compromise lead to over 150 years of oppression of the flemish people, which had started with the French revolution". Oppression is quite a big word especially that most flemish bourgeois were french speaker... Do not forget that flemish at that time was considered as a peasant language (as was the walloon, and this is why it is now barely spoken in wallonia) and that to show that you were part of the elite, you had to speak french which was the lingua franca of Europe. "Flanders had little to no say" : that is bullshit, flemish politicians always had things to say, however, as stated above, a lot of the french-speaker you describe were flemish but spoke french... Please do not make the silly mistake of seeing the history of Belgium as a simple dichotomy between french and flemish because it isn't that. The question of language was indeed key but associating walloons as the only french speaker and "oppressors" is an historic blunder.
@@istoppedcaring6209 Walloons also had a positive view of Germany at the time. The Belgian revolution was also a popular event, it wasn't just a bunch of chaps fighting in a park. Also the bourgeoisie was constituted of French-speaking Flemish, it wasn't Walloons oppressing Flemish it was a French-speaking bourgeoisie, mostly made of Flemish, that oppressed all local languages. You hear the same stories Flemish nationalists like to tell about Flemish discrimination in Wallonia. I have many stories of young Walloons that couldn't speak French being humiliated and punished at school for speaking their mother tongues. Many Walloons tried to learn French to get to higher social status, like it happened with Flemish in Brussels. My grand father, who was a farmer in Namur, couldn't speak Walloon at home for his parents didn't want him to look like "a peasant". We also lost our language and you can check that we weren't even well represented in the government or the administration. Of course the Flemish language was repressed, but it wasn't by Walloons, it was by the Belgian bourgeoisie thus by more Flemish than Walloons.
one small victory for the belgian army took place the 12th of august near Halen. Over there they stop a small part of the german army. It is an interesiting batlle because of the following facts. The belgian general was an old school general, but his younger officers convinced him to let the cavallery fight dismounted. So, together with the 4th infantrybrigade, the blew up the bridges over the river gete at halen. The german dragoons eventually got over the river. These dragoons consisted of a lagre number of aristocraty. The did nog wear the typical feldgrau uniforms, but instead wore a lot of silver helmets an they still adopted the idea tha cavallery charges were the best way of fighting. (typical prussian idea's among the militaristic noble families) 14 cavallery charges were pushed back by the dugg in dismounted belgian cavallery and infantry equiped with machineguns. at the end off the day the germans had to retreat leaving 140 dead, 600 wounded and 250 captured soldiers. it marked the end off cavallery charges. It was enlarged (for propaganda reasons) by the belgian army and called "the battle of the silver helmets" due to the large amounts of german helmets left behind. But, non the less, it was an important lesson, especially for von der marwits, who later became an important german general who commanded several german armies and the right hand man for the kaizer.
GB would not stay out of any continental war which endangered their own grip on continental affairs. Unlike their government, who aimed to involve itself in *any* continental war, regardless of who fired the first shots, or why it started, most British civilians didn't want to become involved in a great war on the continent. Of course, London already knew this. That meant that in the leadup to WW1 London (the state) had a little problem: Which was that they (the state) had already determined that Germany was the rival in peace/enemy in war, but "the people" of GB didn't despise/hate the Germans (the people) but their own "allies", the Russians and French, the traditional imperialist rivals, whom they had fought against for centuries, and were firmly ingrained as "enemies" in the belief system of the people who lived in the UK around the turn of the century (around 1900). *And so "poor little Belgium" was born.* Of course it was a propaganda tool, set up after the Napoleonic Wars to protect "poor little (still in single states/kingdoms) Germans" from "nasty nasty France"... France was beaten in 1871, and Germany (in a rock-solid Dual Alliance with Austria-Hungary) was now the "power" which needed to be "balanced out"...in peace as well as in war. *The propaganda simply did the 180˚ about-turn Jedi mind-control trick on weak minds :-)* "Friends" one day. "Enemies" the next... Right or wrong? London didn't care. The policy came first. Of course the above comment is no excuse for invading neutrals. It just goes to show how "wrongs" add up. Adding up "wrongs" don't create "rights". It just leads to what the Bible calls "sowing seeds", which all have to "reap" at some point.

Just like WW2, Belgium wanted to stay neutral like Switzerland. France and UK were not considered as arm allies. As said in the video, general Lemant was criticized by the government for building defenses only on the german side.

Great video !
If he hadn’t retreated the war might have ended alot earlier maybe even Christmas.
No, he was getting encircled and cut off from the rest of Belgium. If he hasn't retreated, they would've lost the whole 3rd division
Or if that single company hadn’t gotten lost and ended up on his doorstep convincing him to retreat.

"Friends" one day.

Right or wrong?
London didn't care.
The policy came first.
Of course the above comment is no excuse for invading neutrals.
It just goes to show how "wrongs" add up.
Adding up "wrongs" don't create "rights".
It just leads to what the Bible calls "sowing seeds", which all have to "reap" at some point.
