It’s interesting to think that if Wilhelm II hadn’t dismissed Bismarck WWI more than likely would have never happened,a pragmatic and skillful master of diplomacy he probably would have been able curbed the Austrian urge for revenge,negotiated a compromise with the Serbs, and calm the nerves of the Russians and preempted their mobilization and kept whatever fighting that erupted contained….this is however mere speculation and a “what if”……
@@mariocisneros911 1898….pulmonary endema,got stuck working in his garden with nothing to do,he was a man of action and probably would have lived longer if he something to live for….I still wholeheartedly believe that he would still have negotiated a settlement between Serbia and AHE, with Russia helping to mediate….
Bismarck was at the end of his rope and essentially planning a coup when Wilhelm II got rid of him in 1890, even if he didn't get sacked he'd die in 1898, best case is he puts the war off for a few more years
@@Zeruel3 the real surprise was the speed of the Russian mobilization and the rapidity of the troop movements,Bismarck would not have been keen on supporting Austria by expanding the conflict outside of the Balkans,he would probably forestall Russia by advising against German mobilization,hopefully containing the situation….speculation of course…
I’ve heard a few people complain that this version of the story changes the ending - and made the story worse. All wars are a little different although they have things in common. WWI was unique for its long stalemate. Army, Vietnam 1968.
I grew up loving history, being so happy we left it all behind, the mass armies of peer to peer bloodshed. being so young I foolishly didn’t understand what was happening in the Middle East, I feel most people there didn’t. But to have that crushing feeling, the soul sinking feeling that after 100 years of that bloodbath of a war, Ukraine is invaded. Now thousands and thousands are thrown against their fellow man for what? Made up reasons, “politics” or a map needs to look a certain way. I don’t care what your thoughts are about Ukraine, what hurts me is that humans are no better now then we where then, we have better things be we are no better
As an ex-military man myself it is hard to throw off the blind dumb patriotism. Most wars are nothing but the pawns dying to enrich their elite masters. WWI was the epitome of this. They were constantly in fear that the peasants would realize they did not have a beef with opposing soldiers. Mutiny was dealt with harshly.
Yes. I support both Ukrainan individuals and Russians individuals who refuse to fight. I´m on the side of "the little human", and I think the state can never own the individual, meither the Russian nor the Ukrainian. Therefore I gave a young Ukranian I met in my country some money to help him. I support them who have traveled away and don´t want to obey neither Putin nor Zelensky. I´m a believing christian, and I don´t think a christian can carry arms. I wellcome Russian and Ukrainian war refugees to my country, because I´m against war and also for the reason that I believe we need more Europeans in my country. (We´ve had so large immigration from muslim parts of the world lately, and I´d want to balance that with more European immigration to my country.)
I would say that most soldiers would know what their own propaganda would tell. Austria-Hungary would want to avenge the death of their Prince by attacking Serbia, Russia would protect innocent Serbia to be invaded, Germans would protect their ally Austria-Hungary against the evil soviets and French, the French would defend their territory against an uncalled attack aso...

@@sugarkane4830not" who" specifically but war is glamorized through propaganda, war movies and most recently video games. The government lies to neive young men and convinces them to sign up under false pretenses.
The film is consistent with the book it’s based on, but both are incorrect on one point. The attacks on the morning of the 11th, Armistice day, were instigated by the Allies, mainly US General John “Black Jack” Pershing.
Yeah this is the main criticism I have for this movie. I think they wanted to prevent to give the feeling of pro-German propaganda (evil Entente makes an useless last attack). But changing history like this and give the German a sort of bad image was really unnecessary.
To say war doesn't change is incorrect and failing to understand why wars are fought. On happy note several wars have happened with 0 battles and 0 deaths. The objective of war is what matters. The way and how war is waged is a evolution of human culture and technology. Wars are fought under a spectrum of different reasons all requiring a change in doctrine and mindset. The training for battles has also changed to suit operations for future wars based on thesis strategies and current global politics. In other words to say war doesn't change is discount way of dismissing the event or events as another blunder of human error. Rather then a struggle of has and has not or other Intricacies in which sociel spheres and their interactions. War is a complex social issue not unique to humans. We as just happen to be the only ones who think that war is bad and have not found a peaceful resolution that can be expedient enough that war is no longer useful.

@@formalist6096 He is right though in that the Germans are mostly seen as antagonist, even for WW1, probably due to WW2.

If you havent seen it allready, Highly recommend the original Das boot from 1981. Also a 100% POV, tells the tale of U96 during WWII. Very powerfull anti war movie..
My grandfather William was born in 1887. Italian front Alpini Fiamme Verdi. He runned on many battlefields from Isonzo to Piave. Caporetto, Vidor, Solstizio. First wave bayonet assaults. The hell in earth, every time the grass changed colour. He was a survivor. Rip.

A sadder thing is that Paul's dog tag was never removed, because the soldier got distracted by the piece of cloth, meaning that he was one of the forgotten of the war.
didn't happen, would never happen. men wouldn't go into battle with a couple of hours left in the war. if he had 300 men he would have been shot 300 times. not to mention the incredible treachery. this is a bad movie.
@@tekay44he americans organised an attack on the morning of the 11th which was carried out with large casualties, despite knowing it was over. So it did happen.
@@tekay44 It did actually happen, but not from the German side. There were American soldiers who arrived on the battlefield and wanted to kill some "Boche" to not come home ashamed, there were French soldiers who still wanted some revenge... And everybody talsk big about shooting a general instead of following orders, but in real life, peer pressure is immense; how can you know you won't be shot immediately afterwards from those loyal to the general? Even if you aren't and you aren't condemned by the law, you will come back as the "officer killer", do you think you will find any employment in your hometown you defended? Don't you have more chances on the battlefield? The movie is pretty realistic in this regard, it just shouldn't have been portrayed on the German side who didn't do any last attacks after the armistice had been signed.
Those old men spoke some words "Its your DUTY to fight for the GLORY of The FATHERLAND!!! It'll be GLORIOUS! GLORIOUS! its your Duty! Its an HONOUR!" The boys smiled as since these words spoken....made them eager and very happy! (those *same* old men made SURE that _their_ sons weren't goin to the trenches!)
Hollywood movie, and not historically accurate. Historian reviewing it commented that French were the ones attacking in the last days of war, after Germans already agreed to surrender. (No reason for Germans to attack on last day, when they wanted war to end and offered surrender.)
Sorry but your completely wrong 😂😂 why don’t you explain how there were German troops who continued to fight and hold out to kill as many allied troops as they could🤔 SO THEY DID CONTINUE TO FIGHT just how people say the war ended in 1945, YET Japanese troops DIDN’T STOP FIGHTING TILL 1976 THATS 12 YEARS AFTER THE WAR SUPPOSEDLY ENDED Both the Germans AND the Japanese didn’t stop fighting when the war had ended
@@zachall101 This ww1 not ww2 plz read a history book moron. Japan was on the allied side in ww1 Germany surrender because president Wilson was offering fair terms but the French and the British wanted blood the last attack of the war was done after the armistice was sign by a British commander who decided Britain and would be at war again he kill 150 germens and lost 90 brits they changed his with over 200 counts of murder he was shot by firing squaded.

I have a great Uncle that was married to a woman whose grandparents were Nazis. Her parents and two older brothers went to back to Germany to join the Nazis and my Great Uncle was a pilot in the AirForce near the end of the war. He never fired a weapon but said even if he knew it was her whole family he’d have dropped a bomb on their house. Strange times
Another myth is that Imperial Germany unprovoked invaded Belgium and then in to France. It was the other way around when war were declared, the French set two armies off two invade imperial Germany, the Germans got wind of this and then counter attacked the French in the exact same location as the battle of the buldge took place , it lasted a few days the French withdrew and the Germans pursued them and went into the rest of through Belgium.
@@KingOfTresune "then counter attacked the French in the exact same location as the battle of the buldge took place" Try to read and understand a comment you reply to.
That's not true. France even pulled back their units from the German border in an attempt to de-escalate. Germany then invaded Belgium, drawing Britain into the war, in order to get around the Maginot line and attack France through its unfortified border with Belgium.
Ιt is so insane to order soldiers to climb up the trenches and run against the lines of the enemies who are shooting at them. Ancient soldiers with swords and spears at least had their shields, but those unfortunate youths had nothing to protect them against bullets and bombs. Their life or death depended entirely on luck which mostly was not on their side.
No it does not. feldwebel was a much higher rank among the NCO:s: Kadett Feldwebel-Leutnant Offizierstellvertreter Feldwebel Wachtmeister Vizefeldwebel Sergeant Unteroffizer Uffz Corporal Oberjäger Objäg
Well, I've read the unabridged All quiet on the western front and watched both the 1930 and 1979 film (Richard Thomas and Ernest Borgnine, seriously, is there nothing that he won't do?)...and this,...did not resemble any of them.
this could be the worst movie of all time, the book was phenomenal and the 1930s movie was chilling. they used the actual veterans of ww1 vets for the battle scenes and how they actually went into the trenches is crazy.
This was an absolute tragedy. Monarchs throwing away millions of lives over what essentially was a dick measuring contest. Europe has never recovered from WWI, and probably never will. America is not far behind.
Why can’t you have the movie titles listed in the actual name of the recap, is there a particular reason why you want to don’t want to keep it clear and concise? And why does every single recap video have to have an A.I voice over? it just doesn’t sound natural.
It's crazy that they learned not to linger around after making an attack because the enemy will know their positions. Then one of them gets killed after lingering around, by a little boy with a rifle, after a goose egg theft.
The English title is bad. The German and French ones are far more powerful and similar : Im West, nicht Neues. A l'ouest rien de nouveau. It doesn't mean that the western front is "quiet" but that there is nothing worth mentioning ( neu or nouveau) )in the newspapers. The correct title should have been : nothing new on the western front.
All Quiet On The Western Front is also a great title though, all the guns have fallen silent, the only sounds are the bells signaling the end, the war is over.
@@KingOfTresune . No. The French and German titles are more accurate. "Im West, nichts Neuss" and " à l'ouest rien de nouveau" is the title of the newspapers mentionned at the end of the book. Far far more significant. Nothing new means that for the government nothing is worth mentioning, forgetting all the deads.
@@antoinemozart243 The correct translation of this movie to English would be = In the west, nothing new. Wich points to the constant attacks and defending over a few meters. Paid by countless of blood and bodies.
The song the song at the beginning is Morgen marschieren wir I recommend it by Heeres Musikkorps Hamburg Leitung & Hans Herzburg but you can do whoever you prefer a lot of the end quite abruptly the one i have suggested does not
its actually on the eastern front historically but they purposely did that to show that it does not matter what side or where the war is and no matter what its chaos.
A lesson in how often a film adaptation differs from the novel it's based on. Incidentally, the Germans executed fewer of their own than did the English or the French.
@@Georgs4260 You are missing my point, wiseguy. I admit my error, but the whole point of my comment was that the earlier ( not original ) movie which starred Richard Thomas and Ernest Borgnine was BETTER than this version.
From the German perspectives, the Allies are solely responsible for all the deaths snd suffering because they foolushly and inexcusably refused to surrender right away without fighting, which would have avoided needless tragedies. From the French perspectives, the opposite is the case.
Good movie but not accurate to the book. The 1930 version was truer to the book. Many of the extras in the original really served in WW1. Special effects in this version were outstanding.
Love the scene when they use the dead soldiers uniforms and just take out the name tag.
There’s nothing good about that war is Hell they’re ready they’re excited and then they see the reality
It kinda reminds me of the bots in the books. Where whoever wore the boots, he will die and then it will passed on to someone else.

just how people say the war ended in 1945, YET Japanese troops DIDN’T STOP FIGHTING TILL 1976 THATS 12 YEARS AFTER THE WAR SUPPOSEDLY ENDED
Both the Germans AND the Japanese didn’t stop fighting when the war had ended
@@zachall101 This ww1 not ww2 plz read a history book moron. Japan was on the allied side in ww1 Germany surrender because president Wilson was offering fair terms but the French and the British wanted blood the last attack of the war was done after the armistice was sign by a British commander who decided Britain and would be at war again he kill 150 germens and lost 90 brits they changed his with over 200 counts of murder he was shot by firing squaded.
Counter attack was a key part of german defensive doctrine and one of the reasons they lost so many men. Attacks carried on until the last hours
This is a moviet abt war and its brutality, not a documentary
@@mcdough-sl7wf ikr like take ur history expertise somewhere else
Man i loved the movie but couldn't get past the moment where he and the frenchman were in the shellhole together
10:30 Frenchmen looks like C. Ronaldo.
Reminded me more of Antoine Griezmann
Yea@@thebloodwolf9906
Finally a movie that is about the perspective of the Germans. Instead of the “Germans” being the nameless evil cruel people.
Thank you for posting.

Just think the world was ready to do it all over again in 20 years.
to think WW1 was considered (At the time) "The war to end all wars"
I have a great Uncle that was married to a woman whose grandparents were Nazis. Her parents and two older brothers went to back to Germany to join the Nazis and my Great Uncle was a pilot in the AirForce near the end of the war. He never fired a weapon but said even if he knew it was her whole family he’d have dropped a bomb on their house. Strange times
Name of movie: All quiet on the western front
Another myth is that Imperial Germany unprovoked invaded Belgium and then in to France.
It was the other way around when war were declared, the French set two armies off two invade imperial Germany, the Germans got wind of this and then counter attacked the French in the exact same location as the battle of the buldge took place , it lasted a few days the French withdrew and the Germans pursued them and went into the rest of through Belgium.
That’s blatantly wrong, also the Battle Of The Bulge happened in WW2.
@@KingOfTresune "then counter attacked the French in the exact same location as the battle of the buldge took place" Try to read and understand a comment you reply to.
That's not true. France even pulled back their units from the German border in an attempt to de-escalate. Germany then invaded Belgium, drawing Britain into the war, in order to get around the Maginot line and attack France through its unfortified border with Belgium.
Love how this movie is on the German’s side to show that the Germans weren’t just brutes, and that war is horrendous for everyone
I cry to the title
saddest movie SUPPORT MEMORIAL DAY!
The best WW1 movie ever and one of the best war movies period.

Ιt is so insane to order soldiers to climb up the trenches and run against the lines of the enemies who are shooting at them. Ancient soldiers with swords and spears at least had their shields, but those unfortunate youths had nothing to protect them against bullets and bombs. Their life or death depended entirely on luck which mostly was not on their side.
I saw the thumbnail in a meme which is the main reason why i clicked on this video
At 8:00 It wasn't an officer, it was a sergeant as "Feldwebel" means sergeant in German.
No it does not. feldwebel was a much higher rank among the NCO:s:
Kadett
Feldwebel-Leutnant
Offizierstellvertreter
Feldwebel
Wachtmeister
Vizefeldwebel
Sergeant
Unteroffizer
Uffz
Corporal
Oberjäger
Objäg

Well, I've read the unabridged All quiet on the western front and watched both the 1930 and 1979 film (Richard Thomas and Ernest Borgnine, seriously, is there nothing that he won't do?)...and this,...did not resemble any of them.
this could be the worst movie of all time, the book was phenomenal and the 1930s movie was chilling. they used the actual veterans of ww1 vets for the battle scenes and how they actually went into the trenches is crazy.
@@tekay441 just because it's a bad adaptation of some honestly overrated book doesn't mean it's a bad film
This was an absolute tragedy. Monarchs throwing away millions of lives over what essentially was a dick measuring contest. Europe has never recovered from WWI, and probably never will. America is not far behind.
""We will be back with Christmas!!""
Why can’t you have the movie titles listed in the actual name of the recap, is there a particular reason why you want to don’t want to keep it clear and concise? And why does every single recap video have to have an A.I voice over? it just doesn’t sound natural.
It's crazy that they learned not to linger around after making an attack because the enemy will know their positions. Then one of them gets killed after lingering around, by a little boy with a rifle, after a goose egg theft.
bro the music is putting me off
This remake was not a patch on the Book, the 1930 original and 1979 first remake.
The English title is bad. The German and French ones are far more powerful and similar : Im West, nicht Neues. A l'ouest rien de nouveau. It doesn't mean that the western front is "quiet" but that there is nothing worth mentioning ( neu or nouveau) )in the newspapers. The correct title should have been : nothing new on the western front.
Agree with you by 100%.
All Quiet On The Western Front is also a great title though, all the guns have fallen silent, the only sounds are the bells signaling the end, the war is over.
@@KingOfTresune . No. The French and German titles are more accurate. "Im West, nichts Neuss" and " à l'ouest rien de nouveau" is the title of the newspapers mentionned at the end of the book. Far far more significant. Nothing new means that for the government nothing is worth mentioning, forgetting all the deads.
@@antoinemozart243 The correct translation of this movie to English would be = In the west, nothing new. Wich points to the constant attacks and defending over a few meters. Paid by countless of blood and bodies.
Your recap was better than the actual movie! Just kidding... but seriously, it was great.

The song the song at the beginning is Morgen marschieren wir I recommend it by Heeres Musikkorps Hamburg Leitung & Hans Herzburg but you can do whoever you prefer a lot of the end quite abruptly the one i have suggested does not
its actually on the eastern front historically but they purposely did that to show that it does not matter what side or where the war is and no matter what its chaos.
A lesson in how often a film adaptation differs from the novel it's based on. Incidentally, the Germans executed fewer of their own than did the English or the French.
war never changes
What happened to franz?
he died offscreen during the retreat, but in the 1930 version he was sent home because he lost a leg
Inte bra Förbjud det
What I hated about the ending is that he died literally 5 minutes before the war ended.

All Quiet on the Western Front (2022)

Europe ruined its chance to rule the world in these trenches they already had colonial power what a shame
Imagine all that energy and wealth pumped into something useful, what a shame.

I thought there were medics to revive the people who died, but they just put them in caskets
I feel like this ha something to do with the movie 1917 cuz Schofield said there would be a German attack
First they didnt know what they were getting into so they just joined the army now people seen what an hell it was and almost nobody joins
2 mil ppl in indian army, 1.2 mil people in american army, a million soldiers in russia. they are a small fraction. nobody ever wanted to join

Respect to you, Sir. You shall soon celebrate your 80th birthday. Godsped, and God bless!
This is a nice movie but it cannot ever replace the original movie which starred Richard Thomas and Ernest Borgnine .
Sorry the first version was filmed 1930 by Lewis Milestone and received an Oskar for best movie.
@@Georgs4260 You are missing my point, wiseguy. I admit my error, but the whole point of my comment was that the earlier ( not original ) movie which starred Richard Thomas and Ernest Borgnine was BETTER than this version.
@@reynaldoflores4522 Okay, I haven‘ seen the newest version, but the version with Ernest Borgine was very Food.

Thats why in some cases they buried the soldiers naked?
From the German perspectives, the Allies are solely responsible for all the deaths snd suffering because they foolushly and inexcusably refused to surrender right away without fighting, which would have avoided needless tragedies. From the French perspectives, the opposite is the case.

Wait isn’t the French soldier Paul stares at in the end his old friend

Good movie but not accurate to the book. The 1930 version was truer to the book. Many of the extras in the original really served in WW1. Special effects in this version were outstanding.
