#EpicHistoryTV #WorldWarOne #WW1
I hope you enjoy our complete history of World War One - 'the war to end all wars'. This series - produced in 2015 - has been re-edited and re-released in 2022, as previous versions were age-restricted by UA-cam (presumably because human remains were visible in a few photographs - though always in a clearly historical, non-sensationalist context. The precise reason is never given by UA-cam. For those interested in what an 18+ history video looks like, you can watch the previous version here: ua-cam.com/video/GG0LY8OLBG8/v-deo.html). Unpredictable decisions by UA-cam can make life quite uncertain for military history creators, which is why we are so grateful to all our supporters at Patreon - please consider joining their ranks! www.patreon.com/EpicHistoryTV

Enjoy the work, keep it up 👍
Will you make a similar video on WW2
I'm waiting for Ww2 Version
Age restriction because of human remain oh I wonder why it's a ww1 idots like do people not expect people died in war documentary like it has war I don't know but I see it's really dumb.
It's insane hearing the losses of individual battles. "60,000," "100,000," 'quarter of a million." Each of those people had families, passions, stories, dreams. Forever silenced by war.
The easiest way to depopulate the world is through war.
People die anyway and Earth is too crowded.
Tbf war is normal for the people 1950s and below, we're just Lucky the world is focusing more on economy now than expanding territories.
Especially the two million figure by austro hungary. Insane
@@verginn I'd say that nowadays proxy wars and unconventional warfare are much more viable, politically and economically
What a shame that UA-cam continues to mistreat creators like this channel. Thank you for continuing to provide us this wonderful content.
How's the channel being mistreated?
@@chez372 Censoring and demonetized his videos.
In other words youtube is censoring history.
say “Germany” demonetized lol
I guess UA-cam just afraid of what the next war is gonna bring because by the looks of things. Its building up. And with nuclear weapons involve this won't be nothing.
@@yaasinm it’s not censoring. youtube algorithm just sucks. a lot of good content creators face mistreatment regardless of their topic of their content. youtube in general sucks at creating good space for creators who want to make best content. it’s a space for brain dead content creators. creators who push out lazy 10 min videos are being rewarded

These days? There's a big war going on these very days, killing at least 1000 people daily, including civilians. These days...
There is a channel called the great war that breaks the war down week by week. Its a lovely channel.
If you like this you'll love WW1 week by week. It's the most complete and detailed documentary of WW1. They are in the middle of doing WW2 week by week. That's also a good one
@@theterrorvortex6415 I just read your comment as soon after I typed mine. I think they are the best documentary team so far

The amount of people who died in this war was unreal.... young teenagers from all parts. R.i.p to all the troops.
think of all the family trees that ended in this war... SMH
All for imaginary boundaries, jokes on us.
Feel like I just learned more in one hour than I did during an entire course in school. Incredible video. What an amazing job you guys did here.
Yeah no same. I had absolutely no idea how many countries were involved and the mass casualty rates. It really was a world war
Same I went from knowing nothing about ww1 to knowing everything and this video gave me the interest!
So, you didnt listen in school.. Shame on you!
Absolutely true.
Oh yeah, if you hope to learn history at all, just know it’s not through school
The way school systems teach history is terrible
What a fantastic job they did with this presentation, I cannot wait for a WW2 version of this...
if they ever make one. We've been waiting for ages
My guy, I've been watching this channel since 2016 when they first made the WW1 videos, we ain't getting one
@@magtinfal7908 thats what I said
@@magtinfal7908😥 well i should of said I HOPE they do lolz
I don`t find it fantastic at all. It doesn't consider so many details we already know. Gerry Docherty & Jim Macgregors view on this war is quite the opposite of this version here. As long as the old story is told, nothing will change. The told story is: Germany starts the war. But it isn't that easy! Germany's not an actor, it is reacting. You might read a lot of books and listen to many historians, but to get a close look on historic truths, you must also read the inconveniant historians and and one must ask oneself whether these alternative views are not plausible. Without learning facts from books like "Hidden history", "Prolonging the agony" and "Wiederkehr der Hasardeure" (transl. return of the hasardeurs), you cannot break up encrusted victors' history and make the truths visible. The only way to prevent history from repeating is to understand the mechanisms that led to mobilisation and declaration of war. The back story is the linchpin.
The score and effect in the background is perfect placement.
The way you put your videos together is SO well done. You are the history teacher we all need. Looking forward for a ww2 video and that is going to go very viral. Great Job Epic!
Yas exactly
I reeeeeeeaaallyyy need a WW2 Video from them
@@fernandocores7279I’ve been waiting for it for years
UA-cam really needs to leave the history producers alone and stop changing their standards arbitrarily.. Thank you guys for not scrapping the old version of the video like some channels have a tendency to do. You guys truly are Epic! ❤
Some alternatives must be found beacuse UA-cam's censorship is getting worse. Awful
What’s UA-cam’s issue with the channel?
@@jbllc6873 they've just gone absolutely wild with censorship recently. Pro-Ukrainian channels covering the current war have also become demonetised and videos have been brought down. UA-cam as we know it is dying, but unfortunately all the alternatives suck

So true. Imagine, it takes over 4 countries just to beat Germany. At least if Germany stopped with France in Ww2 we'd have great sauseges instead of baguettes....

I feel like the scale of destruction in WWI was lost on me as a kid when I first learned about it. It wasn’t until I started learning about earlier conflicts from just a few decades prior that I really started to understand just how unfathomable it must have been.

WW2 too complex for 1 hour video
@@pablonush4261 They spent hours detailing Napoleon, they could definitely do WW2, take it slow and smooth

Definitly needed
Back in mid 1990s, I’d spend my summers reading the encyclopedia about world wars, including ww1. I was engrossed with the story and the photos i would see in the pages of our two volumes of encyclopedias. After finishing the ww stories in one encyclopedia brand, I would go and read the other brand. People today are so blessed being able to watch such an amazing animated rendition of ww1. Thank you for this video! ❤
I think most of us could achieve rank up to Cadet Corporal just by memorising this video.
Me too buddy! All we had were books. I remember as a boy going to the public library and reading about countries and their writing systems, the planets of the solar system, the ancient ruins. The pursuit of knowledge was something that had to be planned and executed. I like your statement about this day and age and how everything is just a click away! Like what I am watchi now
Go watch Europa the last battle
@@wailingalen i can imagine how you planned your library “excursions”. I was blessed with the fact that my mom was a fan of reading and bought us books, books with photos, books with just texts on them, small books, huge books, soft cover ones and hard laminated books. Books were the thing a few years back
My grand grandfather (*1898) was in Austrohungarian army in battle at Piava river. He killed an italian soldier with a bayonette in tense situation close combat. He worked as explosion engineer in mines in Moravia later in his life.
Really fantastic job on this video. It really brings to light just how extensive WWI was and how much of the globe it actually encompassed. It covered so many details that are most often glossed over or just omitted from most Great War documentaries. I thoroughly enjoyed this and look forward to more from your channel.
He just forgote The Finnish civil war where germany helped The whites win
I am simply amazed at how much detail of the flow of WW1 can be compressed into a two hour presentation, and still be crystal clear for understanding. This is easily one of the best histories I have ever seen.
Shut up
The winner writes the history. There is much we don’t know
@@mikeherrera5302 But in all honesty...would you really want to know it? It would only be MORE horror. We could never fully document everything that happens in conflict. Just take the Russia/Ukraine war as an example.
@@OneBiteoftheCherrycorrect if the nazis write history books it would be pure propaganda
Germans always want to pick a fight. Their Greens are the most bellicose group now, and usually Greens are pacifists.
As tragic as it may sound, this is one of my favourite videos on UA-cam. Thank you so much for all this hard work to everyone involved!
Lest we forget
this is genuinely one of the most informational captivating videos ive ever watched. The explanation paired with the display of the map and extremely well representation of who was fighting where when and who they were fighting against along with the music and absolutely perfect narration makes this easily one of the best videos ive ever seen. So glad i stumbled on this video cause wow I just learned more in an hour than I did about this damn war throughout highschool.
I feel gross watching this without paying money. It’s easy to tell this was made with love and a passion for history. In a time when fewer and fewer people appreciate the past, this channel shines like a beacon in the darkness. That sounds dramatic but I don’t care.
Thank you so much for your generous contribution and support of the channel!
Epic History TV never disappoints
Agreed
epic but partly incorrect
Far more interesting than any history lesson at school.... Gives me goosebumps everytime I re-watch it...
especially the truce on the first Christmas in the trenches
Got chills at the very beginning
This am going to definitely share with kids at my tennis academy !!!!

That is a heartbreaking amount of human loss.
Thanks, for the awesome content!
When I was a boy, the men who fought in WWII were in their 50s and 60s, and I talked to several old men in their 70s and 80s who had fought in the "Great War." Some of them knew men in their youth who fought in the American Civil War. It's crazy to think that I "knew the men who knew the men" who encapsulate so much defining history of our nation. I watch this perspective ebbing away, everyone buried in the current petty age. Even if it dies with me, I'll carry it proudly to the end.
we forget so easily especially in our modern world
war is nothing to be proud of

It’s incredible how little I have heard about the eastern front of WW1. It was unbelievably brutal
The Eastern Front during both world wars were brutal on their own
@@a_09.7 Eastern and Balkan front were much more brutal than the Western front.
Unfortunately this includes some very distorted propaganda. The Lusitania was carrying munitions and it's sank because the munition blew up.
In 1980 the admiralty warned off salvage crews because there was still live ammunitions on the wreck.
The ship sank in 15 minutes very close to land because while there was a small entry hole for the torpedo there was a very large one on the other side where the munitions exploded. Churchill was part of orchestrating this deception.
@@7Quarryman Churchill was a demon
@@7Quarryman To what end? To bring USA into the war?
I’ve no doubt there was lots of deception to convince the US into joining

Thanks for your videos! I enjoy watching them for knowledge and entertainment!
nice dono
The Ottoman Empire never massacred the Armenians
I love how they keep referring to the map, helps hold the whole documentary together, but then there's all this cool footage that also keeps it so interesting.
Excellent video and presentation. Animation was perfectly done; narration was incredible. Thank you
Wow this is stunning. Without a doubt the most comprehensive info on this war that has been put together for free
All about this video is perfect: the script, the narration, the map and, undoubtedly, the soundtrack. It was so skillfully prepared that I have just found myself watching it for the fourth time in a year. It is not only the best documentary about the WW1 but also should be placed among the best documentaries of all time and topics. As a learner of English, I would like to express special gratitude to the magnificent narrator of this channel as he manages to keep a decent pace while enabling even non-natives to catch his every word.
Your English looks pretty good to me sir
yes...the maps made it easy to follow and comprehend....the sound of course took us to battle.
Thank you so much Epic History TV. Your content is incredible and you guys truly do the world a great service by making this available and free to the public. What a marvelous breakdown of WWI, couldn’t stop watching. Excited for the future.

Excited? I'm rather worried
Ya..World War 3 is gonna be dope. America kicked it off when they overthrew the Ukrainian government.
@@Zeus-jv9ds But if America had done nothing in Ww2 like they wanted, they could never have defeated the combined efforts of the axis powers. They to would probably be speaking German. Especially with the deployment of nuclear weapons which Germany would of had at that point. America helped massively in bringing the war to a close but in combination with the efforts of the allies!
The best documentary on this conflict to date. I insist that we need one like this one about the second world war. Congratulations to @epichistorytv, the way you deliver this content is paramount.
Best ever video of the Great War! Very concise. Thank you for all of the efforts that you put into to it.
This was so incredibly well-put together - and I want to thank you so much for having done so. You really made History an affair of suspense and interest - the narration was impeccable, and so was the script and animation. Such a wonderful way to educate oneself - I look forward to watching more of your stuff! Once again, grateful 🙏 😃👋❤️

The narrator's voice is really calming and soothing, I turn on any EPTV episode and just let it run while I do some other stuff just for that mental therapy
A great summary of World War I, when I learned it at school 20 years ago I found it complicated, this visualization helped me to understand better what the main phases were and what strategic concepts did both the Allies and the Central Powers pursue and why the war had such an important impact on modern Europe and today's politics...A big thank you to the whole team for this outstanding work!!! Best regards from Poland, one of the emerging states after the war :) We value the 2nd Republic, Marshal Pilsudski and commemorate it's creation each year on the 11th of November

I am a filipino nurse who‘s working here in Germany for almost 6 years during my pre employment interview they asked what i know about Germany and i straight answered the question with a word „War“ because since i was a kid i saw how my father is too fascinated about Wermacht especially with their uniform and Stahlhelm since then me myself also get obsessed with everything related to Germany and it‘s war campaign. Now i am collecting toys and books about WW2 but i never expected that the germans also did it big during WW1. Everyday i‘ve learned something new.. Thank you for this video 👍🏻

Amazing content. I am really amazed how well put everything together in this video. It really makes you feel the war and how devastating it is. It's also very interesting to see how war spread out to world. Thank you for this masterpiece!
Big fan of this history, spent a winter reading the entire book by John Keegan on this subject and it was time well spent. Your progam is excellent, especially considering how much material you covered in the span of just over an hour. People tend to gloss over the Dardanelles and the Armenian tragedy, so that was much appreciated. Thank you for putting this all together in an easily digested format. I've subscribed to your channel and I'm enjoying your other content.
Very generous, thank you! I’m also a big Keegan fan.
@A Z Vimy was little more than a footnote in the grand scheme of the war.
@@EpichistoryTv Can you make a ww2 of this
It wasn't a genocide. The Armenians betrayed and attacked us in the war. Although they were belong to the Ottoman Empire, they supported Russia. Therefore, we forced them to migrate, the main point of immigration was Anatolia cities not desert. They suffered as a result of immigration yes, so sorry I wish it hadn't. But what else could be done to treason during a war? We also suffered. Most importantly, there was no any genocide. Western media always full in hypocrisy...

Thanks for this explaination.
please make a video on World War II, I really like your unbiased presentation of the material and its quality
I only recently discovered this channel. And as a lover of history, just in awe. The Napoleon series in particular is amazing.
Hope to see more series of famous battles. Say for example the American civil war, ww2, ect.
I feel like if someone who fought in WW1 watched this they would simultaneously be happy that we haven't forgotten, but also sad that their roughly 4 years of suffering had been condensed into an hour long video.
Better one hour than nothing at all. Video was excellent for us armchair historians who have read some books on the topic, to refresh our memory.
This is an amazing hour well spent
They would more likely be amazed at how an hour long video could summarize a war like that. What is crazy is an American could have seen the Spanish American war, ww1, ww2, Korea, and Vietnam in their lifetime. They probably would have served in at least one of them and they would have seen how technology in warfare advanced
The most comprehensive summary of WW1, excellent work!
Loved this video. Very well put together

amazing summary and very interesting to watch.
Just when you hear 150000 casualties and think that's way too much, then you hear 240000 casualties in one battle, on one side and you ask "with such losses, how did they not run out of men?"
Rewritten history... the "his"-story doesn't even make sense as you pointed out... but empty heads buy into any BS.
one general said these are commoners we have more of them.
By 1913 Europe's total population (including Russia) was 498 million. Around 60 million men were mobilised, with total losses being somewhere around 9 million soldiers. Another 9 million were taken as prisoners. So, that's 18 million, and 21 million men were wounded. So that's 39 million casualties in total. Considering that the total number of fighting men was 60 million, they weren't that far off from running out of men lol. And of course that doesn't even include civilian deaths.

It's an edge-of-your seat thriller accented by stunning casualty figures, perpetual Allied setbacks, and the pointlessness of it all. It gobsmacked me like little else I've learned about in history, Most of all, I was amazed at how truly 'world' this war was. Thank you, Epic History TV, for your substantial contribution to educating people like me about the true scope and cost of war, one whose wages are still being paid today.
53:24 Wow! It became so much more detailed😍
Every time I watch this video, I feel like I should undo my upvote just so I can have the pleasure of upvoting it again.
Thanks for this animated story!
One minor suggestion (actually major in Serbia which was never able to recover from the losses in the Great War) - after the offensive in Northern Greece, led by Serbian troops, the allies didn't stop as your animation shows. Serbs rather continued, as their homes were really nearby (a couple of days march) and they liberated all the territory up to Italy.
Again, compared to the entire war bring animated, this isn't anything big.
Greek soldiers said(when Serbian soldiers recovered and together with them went back to Salonica front) that the march of the Serbian army was faster than the pace of their horses, thats how much they loved their country and were willing to sacrifice in order to reclaim whats theirs.
@@jovankaravezic6695 Do not forget that the Serb army were quasi-destroyed after 1915, only 120 000 soldiers escaped on 400 000, French mainly equiped and led them (like the famous Franchet d'Esperey). The ferocity of serbians warriors with the French tactics and support were perfect.
@@inhocsignovinces1327 no france tactics,,,only Serbs Djenerals..Vojvoda Zivojin Misic,Duke R.Putnik and others,,because Frnce sand a fake artilery granates,and its nothing for support,and must reparate granats in midle of war..but Serbia is only whu go and take for 1 day 20 km or miles front...Thats the spirit of warior,france giv boat to go on Krf and recover them..nothing realy
I will keep watching this even a thousand times
fantastic! I hope you continue to do more of these on other wars!
