Serbia during the First World War

- What happened in Serbia during World War One? During the First World War, Serbia played a significant role in the conflict as one of the primary battlegrounds in the Balkans. The war started in Serbia on July 28, 1914, when Austro-Hungarian forces launched an invasion after blaming Serbia for the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. Serbia resisted the invasion but was initially overwhelmed by the superior firepower of the Austro-Hungarian forces. As the Austro-Hungarian forces advanced, Serbia's army conducted a strategic retreat through the country's rugged terrain, employing guerrilla warfare tactics to harass and slow down the enemy. This resistance allowed the Serbian Army to regroup and strengthen their positions. As the Central Powers (Austro-Hungary, Germany, and later Bulgaria) continued their offensive against Serbia, the Allies, particularly France and Britain, provided support to Serbia. The Serbian army received supplies, reinforcements, and military advisors. This assistance helped stabilize the Serbian front and counter the enemy's advance. In August 1914, the Serbian Army achieved a significant victory against the Austro-Hungarian forces in the Battle of Cer. They successfully repelled the invaders and inflicted heavy casualties. In November 1914, the Serbs launched a counteroffensive known as the Battle of Kolubara, driving the Austro-Hungarian forces out of Serbia. In September 1915, Bulgaria joined the Central Powers and launched an invasion of Serbia from the east. This new front and the overwhelming enemy forces posed a severe threat to Serbia. Despite putting up fierce resistance, the Serbian Army was eventually pushed back, and the capital city of Belgrade fell in October 1915. Following the fall of Belgrade, the Serbian government and army went into exile, retreating through the mountains of Albania in harsh winter conditions. Many soldiers and civilians perished during this arduous journey. The surviving Serbian troops regrouped in Greece, where they received support and aid from the Allies. In 1916, a multinational force composed of Serbian, French, British, and Greek troops was assembled on the Salonika Front in northern Greece. They launched a campaign to liberate Serbia from the Central Powers. After several offensives and battles, the Serbian Army reentered their homeland in September 1918, freeing Serbia from occupation.
The First World War had a significant impact on Serbia, resulting in substantial casualties, widespread destruction, and population displacement. It also contributed to the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman Empires and played a role in shaping the geopolitical landscape of the Balkans.

I am a Serb. My great grandfather walked through Albania on foot to reach Greece. He is buried at the Serbian military graveyard in Salonika (Thessaloniki), Greece. Our family found out decades later where he was buried.
Sad story My grandmothers uncle served in the Austrian army and died of cholera in Albania . It would be impossible to find his grave in Albania . A forgotten lonely grave .
Respect for your grandfather 🙏
Then your great grandfather comitted crimes against albanians for sure. Nothing to be proud of!
I moj djedo bio je solunac!
And yet Serbia’s delegation sat behind Germany during the 100 years armistice celebration … Woke, man !
As a proud descendant of Serbian WWI sergeant, I want to say - thank you, History Hustle! 🤍🇷🇸
Thanks for watching.
@@HistoryHustle
Just to know, it would be nice if you can put in video, but now,...
Serbian secret service inform Serbian ministre in AustroHungary and sad to him that he must inform AusHun goverment about something is happening and that there will be attempt of assassination, Serbian minstre sad that to AusHun goverment, but they did nothing, they wanted this,...as i heard, they didnt love Franc, so they let it happend,...
Interesting, a?
And they didnt love Serbia, so they just wanted to attack, they would attack earlier, but Germany sad them not yet, cos Germany wasnt ready for war yet,...and in that time, even Russia goverment, didnt hate us, but didnt like the fact that we were growing stronger and they have family ties (AusHun, Rus, UK) so its normal they will love AusHun more than Serbia.
Plus, Serbia start to work with France, buying weapons from France, AusHun found out about this and they wanted to attack us,...that AusHun ultimatum was written several times, the guy who wrote it was waking up thru night and he put every imposible thing in it, just to make sure Serbia dont accept it (Serbia accept all, just one thing wasnt accepted) cos they wanted war.
Even army of AusHun 3 times took their weapon and wanted to go vs Serbia, but Germany sad NO, not yet,...
And when AusHun got green light, they attacked Serbia,...and what kind of evil killing and torture they did in Serbia is 👎
Two facts:
After conquering Serbia Germans built an monument in Belgrade on which it is (still today) written: Hier ruhen Serbische helden (here are laying in rest Serbian heroes). A rare monument in the world risen to enemy soldiers.
Near Corfu is inslet called Vido. On it there is a mausoleum to Serbian soldiers who died en masse on Corfu exausted and ill from Albania crossing. Dead soldiers were burried into sea, the Blue tomb as we call it in Serbia.
Thanks Stephan for this short but very accurate presentation. All the best.

@@milankolarski8876 What?
Serbia being a small country, sure did fight hard against AH and other Central Powers. I think I read somewhere that Serbia as a country lost a quarter of its population due to the war and all that accompanied it.
No,we lost one third 😢
😭@@Salvaeusall
Serbia lost around 28 % of population, or 1.1 million people.
Two thirds were civillian and one third were military casualties.
When you look at male population alone it is 50 percent.
We lost 50% of our male population
As a Serb, All my great grandfathers fought in this war. Two of them left Austro-Hungary to join the Serbian forces, one of them returned from USA too join the Thesaloniki front. One was immobilized directly from Serbia.
They say that the Serbain infantry was moving faster then French cavalry during the breaking through the Thesaloniki front.
You should also hear the song called "Tamo daleko", sung by Serbs on the Corfu, about how they miss their homeland.
Also, one of the reasons the Greeks love us, especially in Corfu, is because we spent some time with them there, healing.
The dead who died on the Corfu were released in the sea, which got the name the Blue Cemetery.
My grandfather, his brother and a lot of their male cousins fought in the WWl..Went across Albania...GREAT PEOPLE,HEROES!We shall never forget them!.LONG LIVE SERBIA !!!🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸

I had a nanny of Serbian origin. Out of her 9 siblings, 8 were killed during WW2. In the 70's she still had a sister alive, in Austria. Her husband, also a Serb, fought in the French Foreign Legion. He died much earlier.

Great video. :) I can add that the first shot was fired from the ship called SMS Bodrog on 29 July 1914. After WWI, the ship was renamed Monitor Sava and became part of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia fleet. During WWII, the ship was once again used, this time by the Independent State of Croatia, laying mines on the Danube. After WWII, it was in use in the Yugoslav navy until the 60s, but was later neglected and left to decay. In recent years, the ship was fully restored and is now moored on the Sava near the Branko's bridge in the center Belgrade as a floating museum.
Cheers from Serbia. :)
Thanks for your reply!
Brate, thank you very much. We always tried to help our friends, but when we needed it, we would often get stabbed in the back, but despite everything, dignity and honor were always in our blood. A small nation, which lost about 30 percent in the war, but proud of its last inhabitant, always wanted to be a friend of the world, but the world saw it as an enemy, even though we did more for it than some friends! I wish all the best for you, your family, and your channel.

Later they fight back and took Victory!

Great Video. My family is from Montenegro and i know some monetenegrian troops helped defend the serbs as they retreated.
Montenigrans aren't Serbs too? 🤔 i thought they are Serbs too,just from Montenegro region?
@emilianozapata2530 well you got serbs,albanians,muslim bosnians etc etc. SAME LANGUAGE but albanians don't speak serbian
@@wafflez-man-1995 Well that makes sense in some way,if judged by my knowledge nowdays Croatians are former Serbs just converted to Catholic religion or Bosniaks muslims,i think they are also Serbs just diffrent religion..
Albanians don't speak Serbian but are they from Balkan peninsula at all?
Thanks for sharing.
@@emilianozapata2530Yes, Montenegrins and Serbs are the same people. Disagreement is imposed on them for political reasons.
I'm Serbian and Hungarian... My Great Grandfather, Aleksandar Miloradović, was an officer in the Serbian Army during the First World War... He was also the Adjutant for Prince George Karađorđević, the Kings oldest son...(it seems like all the men in my family were either officers or priests... Lol)...
He also participated in the famous battle of Cer Mountain against the Austro-Hungarians...
Btw...
Serbia lost about 25 plus percent of the population in the First World War ( over 1 million people) and another 20 plus percent in the second world war.... The most of ANY other country (per capita) in the wars ...
Lastly, I just want to say that I'm VERY happy that you made this video and I love the Balkan videos in particular and I'm also very happy to be one of your patrons 💯🙏...
Thanks again Stephan and God Bless 🙏🙏🙏...
10%??
@@Salvaeusall so 10 % would mean roughly 800,000 or MORE Serbian people & soldiers killed in the First World War ... That's been my understanding
@@tommyschmierer4627 Wrong. Roughly 30% - some say 40% is more accurate, Serbs died in WWI. Out of that number 1/3 were civilians and 58% male population. Before the Balkan wars Serbia had 2,2milions and after the won territories around 4 milion. 1,2 milion died in WWI, but mostly those on the territories before the Balkan wars.
@@Salvaeusall so, my understanding was that Serbia's population was more like 8 million people... But, I think we both agree that over 1 million Serbs died in WW I ... It seems the difference in our figures lies in the total population but, we agree on the number of people killed ... I was always told that the total number of Serbians was around 8 million instead of 2.2 million ...
@@tommyschmierer4627 During 1914 according to estimates, there were 4.6 million people within Serbia, of which approximately 2.9 million lived in Northern Serbia(modern Central Serbia) and 1.7 million in Southern Serbia (North Macedonia and Kosovo).
Given the fact that almost 98% were mobilized in Northern Serbia you will get picture clear.
Southern Serbia was not mobilized cuz of many reasons but mostly there was no really any preperations for that so only two regiments were mobilised symbolically.
Only after fall of Serbia Bulgarinas mobilized some of their own regiments by force there.
And most of damage and civilian deaths happen in Northern Serbia
When I moved to country side from our capitol, I visited local church that's from 17th century if I remember correctly. Inside there are bronze or iron plaques with names of local people who lost their lives while fighting in WW1. I started counting, and after realizing that there is multiple plaques with total of over 200 names I was shocked. Why shocked? Because my and local villages don't have that number of people today :O That war decimated our population so much that it's genuinely felt till this day. Two of my grandfathers walked across Albania to Corfu, and both managed to come back victorious. Third grandfather died in Zagreb literally 5 minutes before peace was signed. My grandmother told me how they gave some land to one neighbor to go with bulls to Zagreb and retrieve his body. Imagine how crazy those times were.
i'm a serb and this is a pretty accurate video, with a lack of details, but a good one.
one of my mother's great grandfathers was killed at the battle of cer, the other survived the war as a colonel. from father side, he is a serb from herzegovina, one great grandfather was killed at the battle of kajmakcalan and the other one was mobilized, as many other serbs from bosnia and herzegovina, by austro-hungarian empire and sent in a war with russians somewhere in besarabia (as i remeber). the entire unit deserted and joined the russian army. initially they were in a russian prison camp until they were checked and later armed and added to the russian army. when the october revolution began they were in imperial uniforms, so they fought against the revolutionaries and over time were pushed further and further to the east and somewhere before manchuria, surrounded on three sides, they moved to china. returning home to herzegovina lasted six years and from the entire area where my family is from, only two survived, my great-grandfather and his neighbor from the village. the great-grandfather died after a few years as a result of his wounds and the exausting journey back, and his neighbor mirko lived so long that I also managed to remember him and his stories about their returning home.
serbs also liberated today's countries macedonia, montenegro, bosnia and herzegovina, croatia and slovenia. slovenia was liberated by former serbian prisoners of war and inmates released from austro-hungarian concentration camps, what possibly could be an interesting topic for you for a future video.
cheers!

When you threaten everyone do not be surprised if they just decide to kill you one day. European great powers and Russia saw a strategic purpose in having serbia and that is why the country was re-created after both world wars.

My great-grandfather was first in the Balkan wars in 1912 and 1913, and then in the First World War from 1914 to 1918, he returned home via the Albanian mountains, the island of Vido (where the weakest and sickest warriors were sent to die), he recovered and fought on the Thessaloniki front with the Serbian army and Allies. He returned home after 6 years of war and had 4 children with my great grandmother, one of children was my grandfather.

Stephan, a great potted history of a war I know little about. I live in Sydney, Australia. My wife's grandfather, A Bohemian Czech was a sergeant in the Austrian army in WW1 and we know he was in Belgrade at some stage. He wasn't killed but he was not the same when he got back and killed himself about a year later. All very tragic. Such a tragedy what happened to the Serbs of course but it affected my wife's father who was only 10 at the time.

Later president of Yugoslavia, "the largest son of our nations and nationalities" Josip broz TITO was the corporal in the "devils division" in austro-hungarian army. There is a photo from ww1 of him in blue AU uniform.
I strongly recommend to watch clips about "Battle on mountain Cer" and "Kolubara Battle" ("Cerska bitka" i "Kolubarska bitka") as those 2 were first ally victories in ww1. AustroHungarian military leaders thought its gonna be walk in the park as Serbia waged wars in 1912 (1st Balkan war) and in 1913 (2nd balkan war) and was quite exhausted... The facts about Serbian victories and our overall contribution to victory in WW1 (Serbia lost one third of overall population and 50% of male population back than) is constantly beeing avoided or simply not mentioned. I guess, those amazing victories over the MUCH stronger aggressor (Serbia had about 3million ppl and Austro-Hungary 52mils in 1914) didnt fit into "bad guys are serbs - narrative" at the end of 20th century, AND Serbia is still constantly beeing molested by western (super)powers. 15% (Kosovo and Metohija) of our territory is forcibly taken after 1999 nato bombing, and given to biggest human/organ and narcotrafficers in the world - Kosovo albanians (shqipetare). We, the Serbian people, still hope that some other, better and more honest men will come to rule those countries, who will see and correct the enormous injustice that their countries inflicted on the Serbian people (who was always on the right side of history), as well as the consequences of that of violent seizure of territory (Russians literally used "Kosovo-example" to justify their actions in Ukraine, ALTHOUGH I would not wanna take sides in that war, until time /history shows us the truth of who was to blame for that conflict) as well as possible conflicts and secessions in many other places on Earth. Also, such violent act destroyed the rule of international law and now only law that is applied worldwide is "might makes wright".
These days on Kosovo there were Serbian ambulances closed, doctors arrested, everything taken away: ambulance vehicles, computers, chairs ..The car with money for social benefit was robbed, people are forbidden to buy serbian products or use our currency. Euro is introduced as a sole currency Kosovo and Metohia. People who come to sell their houses or just visit are arrested and without a proof or a witness, sentenced as war criminals. Not to mention our national heritage ( monasteries, churches , graveyards) destroyed or presented as catholic . People have no other option but to move. Ethnic cleansing put under a rug .

"With full and unshakable faith and hope in God, forward Heroes, to the FATHERLAND."
The army made the sign of the cross and went on a terrible charge chasing the enemy. Although it seems like a myth, there are supposedly reports that the French cavalry were unable to catch up with the Serbian infantry as eager as the Serbs were to return to their homes in their fatherland.
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Stefan ! Would you be able to cover occioation of Southern Hungary by Antanta forces ...French ,British ...What kind of troops were used.etc.I realy believe that something like that is s kind of topic that no historian touched on yu tube...Probably " Banat republic" special,Bela Khuns Hungary etc.Another good one woukd be Serbian Kingdoms expeditionary force in Finland and Murmansk fighting the Reds
Thanks so much good man! Keep telling stories about brave Serbian people who saved Europe multiple times and got stabbed every time
Sounds a little too dramatic don't you think?
No, I don't. You are saying that because you scratched only surface about our history, and that is understandable.
We first started rebellion against 3rd Reich in WW2.
In 1999 we fought genocidal organization called NATO and stopped Islam from entering in Europe, both in 1993-1995 in Bosnia and 1999.
In WW1 we won against 2 empires.
Those are only things happened in 20th century, and there is A LOT to mention and speak about before 20th century.
So yea, thats not too dramatic, its too heroic. They cant and they wont destroy us. :)@@HistoryHustle
Rarely accurate and objective video... Bravo! 👏
Thanks for watching.
Great presentation. Now please do a video on prisoner exchange in ww2
Not anytime soon. I am traveling till July in South America.
"Wonderful"Report"..."Instructor"....you "continue" to make "sense" out of the " "mayhem" !!!
Many thanks for your reply.
the one intresting fact is that after the comming back to solun front serbian military marched all way to belgrade rarely making and stops.France general written that serbs wouldnot listen him and that they lost serbs bc o fthe speed of the walking even running when they were kilometers from belgrade
Thanks for sharing.
An all-around decent, if short introduction into Serbia and Austro-Hungarian hostilities at the very start of the war. Cheers.
The only aspect that requires redress is the reference to partisans. In fact, Chetnik Association members were heavily involved in supporting the regular Serbian Army. Following the retreat, they took part in resisting the occupation by the Central Powers.
Thank you for the video.
Thanks for your reply.
It would be interesting to see a video about Milunka Savic on this channel.
Sure an interesting person!
@@HistoryHustle yup, a unique individual.
Always learn something new!
Great!
Thank you for making this video, Serbia is too often overlooked when WWI is in question, and the heroism of our forefathers as well, even though during WWI even our enemies were
so impressed by the valor of Serbian soldiers that FieldMarshal Mackensen erected a small monument dedicated to them. In a video short like this one, you can't really go in too much
depth so it's OK overall, but concerning your video about Vardar's offensive, I must protest. Serbian army broke through the front, and they did it alone, The British were opposed to that idea,
and the French agreed when the Serbs said they would go alone and that the French could follow 3 days behind. Serbs liberated 600km of territory in about 2 months, defeating Bulgarians and
Germans along the way. Which led to the Bulgarian surrender, and consequently to the German surrender as well. German Kaiser wrote a telegram to his Bulgarian counterpart: "It is a disgrace 62000 Serbs had won the war" acknowledging that fact.
Thanks for your reply.
If you need pics from that era of the Serbian army, leadership... I have a nice collection let me know, I love history and it is important to talk about it,
so be glad to contribute to your efforts @@HistoryHustle
Thank you
Thanks for watching!
Stefan are there countries in Europe you havent covered in Ww1 or Ww2 yet?
Yes, and would love to re-do some vids in the future.
1:15 A little context is needed here. In the 17th and 18th centuries, the relations between Serbia and Serbs in general towards Austria were very positive. Relations were friendly, many Serbs went to school in Vienna and Budapest, Austria (and Russia) rewarded the resettlement of Serbs to places that had previously been ravaged by wars or looting (hence the Serbs in the "Serbification" of Croatia, Dalmatia, Slavonia) and supported to a greater extent, uprisings. One of them that was initially supported and encouraged was the uprising of the Serbs in Bosnia in 1875, which was supported by Serbia and Montenegro itself (with the help of Russia) by attacking Turkey.
Now the key part: Austria played dirty by ignoring the insurgents, waiting for them to bleed to death. Because they had a plan from the beginning that they would take Bosnia, and then the fewer insurgents left - the fewer problems tomorrow. And they will weaken the Turks so that when I attack they have no chance. She sat on the sidelines and waited for as many Turks and Serbian insurgents as possible to perish fighting among themselves and then she entered with her big army with the words "this is mine now!". There, the Serbs saw what Austria thinks and how it views them, and that was the moment when our relations turned upside down. If you want to enslave us - we will tear your country apart.
1:46 The big problem was that Austria was doing everything to expand its influence in the Balkans, always insisting on peace agreements that they installed their German princes as kings at the heads of: Bulgaria, Albania and Greece. That is why those countries were neutral at the beginning of the war, and they were also in a war stance with the Bulgarians. Greece barely entered the war, and Albania, even under the administration of Serbia, was still divided into various factions that mostly supported the Turkish policy, and therefore the Austrians in this war.
Thanks for sharing this.
Thank you man.

When reninents of Serbian army arrived at Macedonian front at Thessaloniki, word of it got out and thousands of Serbian emigrants from all over the world came and volunteered to join the Serbian army.
At the time of Macedonian front breakthrough, Serbian forces were 5x what they were when they arrived to Thessaloniki
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing.
As a Serb, this video is perfectly summarised. Exactly the way we learn it here in Serbia.
A 10/10.
Solid video
👍
It is a pity that no film is made about the Serbs in the First World War. The first victory over the Austro-Hungarians was won by the Serbs. After that, an entire nation, the army, the king, the church, left the country and retreated to Corfu in Greece. After recovery, they returned to their country and won. Proud Serbia made many victims. ❤️☦️❤️
Are there no Serbian productions?
@@HistoryHustleThere are but without a subtitle.
" Gde raste limin žut"
Interesting but short. Greetings ;)
Thanks!
I am a Serb from Republika Srpska. After the assassination of Ferdinand, the Muslims in Sarajevo stripped my grandfather of the oxen that were transporting wood in Miljacka river. Then they destroyed all Serbian shops in Sarajevo and threw the inventory outside. The Austro-Hungarians started to hang and kill the civilian population. It was the first genocide after that war in which Serbs lost 1/3 of their population.
The Macedonian front was the Thessaloniki front, just to be clear that it had nothing to do with the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (name was given by the Communist party after WW2), in 1916 that region was simply known as south Serbia.
Да, али Македонија се састоји из три дијела Вардарске, Пиринске и Егејске, које су подијелили Србија, Бугарска и Грчка. Данас само србски дио, Вардараска Македонија је инстант творевина док су Пиринска и Егејска Македонија и даље у Бугарској, то јесте у Грчкој.
"Old Serbia" nowadays "North Macedonia"
You mentioned the direct cause how WW1 started but what is the direct cause how it ended? It's the victory of the Serbian army against Bulgarians. It happened as a storm so much that suprised Bulgarians shouted "run away, the dead have returned!" (they though Serbian army was not existing any more). Since Bulgarians could not hold its part of front any more, and Serbs wanted to liberate Serbian land (they came all the way to parts of Slovenia), Austro-Hungary could not stop them (and the French army that travelled along with Serbs). And with Austro-Hungary down, Germans could not rely on them any more and decided to end their participation in War.
To sum up the end of WW1: Germans and their allies LOST, English and their allies retained an ARMISTICE while Serbs WON.
You bet I am proud of my Serbian ancestry!
My grand-grandfather died in WW1; it is not known whether he remains in the Albanian mountains or in Plava grobnica (Corfu).
Anyway, thank you for the nice video :-)
Thanks for watching 👍
Write funny things. Not the Serbs but the French 122 and 17 colonial divisions broke trough the front and the Serbs followed the French.
We are small.but a great heart.with roots and culture.
Ok👍
Bravest nation in the world-Serbians ❤️🇷🇸
😊❤
Can you make video about the hussite wars thanks
Not anytime soon.
You didn't describe how we won even though it didn't seem like there was a chance. The breakthrough on the Thessaloniki front was made by the Serbs. General Franche d'Epere said "Tough, sober, indomitable - these are free people." "Your army is like a TORNADO, on horses we are slower than the SERBIAN INFANTRY".
It is about Serbia the country
Serbian army won some battles in First World War against a much superior enemy, people study it military schools, even at West Point. Battle of Cers in west Serbia was first won battle against Central Powers in the First World War.
There are a number of claims as to who fired the first shots of ww1. There's a strong argument that the first shots were fired by an African soldier in service of the British. I appreciate and enjoy your work Stef
Ipak, Srbin, ne zanima ga ako sam Slovenac :D
Dobar video, kratak, faktički.
Thanks for watching.
Serb here. Video is nice but it omits an important detail. WWI ended because Serbian Army entered modern day territory of Austria and was on its way of taking over Vienna. That is the reason why German Emperor Wilhelm II decided to capitulate. Both German Field Marshals Paul Von Hindenburg and Erich Ludendorff wrote separate memos that point out that the reason for the capitulation of Central Powers was the collapse of Salonika Front and subsequent rapid Serbian advancements. It is no wonder why you haven't mentioned it because Western historians tend to avoid that fact.
Yes, the famous glory of the western civilization - rewrite, copy paste..
Yes, Serbia was put aside when the war ended. In fact , if it was not for Mihailo Pupin who was a close friend with American president Woodrow Wilson, Serbs would gain nothing and would even have to give up our territories to Bulgaria .
So WW1 was won only due to the fact that Serbia marched into AH? Have to research that. Sounds like a nationalist version of history.
@@HistoryHustle I am sure it does. You do your research.
@@Salvaeusall Shopluk - a region til Sofia. Shopi are serbs.
Not bad @HistoryHustle! Just a few things...
It is important to say that at that time, in Bosnia (annexed - occupied by Austro-Hungarien Empire), Serbs were the major ethnic group (now they are the 2nd). Maybe there lies the answer to why Westerners reduce numbers of Serbs who lost lives in WWI.
Population and casualties lists are not hard to find today and many of them are done by others, not Serbs, so it is easy to determine Serbian casualties. The hard truth is: During WWI, Kingdom of Serbia (Bosnia, Montenegro, Vojvodina etc. not included) lost 1/4 - one quoter of its population and almost every 2nd man lost life. Austro-Hungarian army used ammunition later forbidden internationally because of brutality. So after the war, Serbia was filled with crippled men bagging on the streets. Also, when they occupied the country and chopped it to pieces (like vultures) they killed thousands of civilians, many massacred, raped, hanged etc. Serbia is the way most devastated country (in population) during the WWI and the way most forgotten after the war after all that she gave and lost. (Without breaking through on the Balkan front by "resurrected Serbs" and all others, maybe there will be no WWI end that soon.)
The Ammo that came to Serbian army from France and Greece was useless because it didn't fit with Serbian heavy guns so Serbs had to take it to ammo factories to be adjusted and then send back to the front. Also, lack of ammo was the main reason why Serbian King, government, armies, civilians etc. decided to leave the country after they were backstabbed by Bulgarians and attacked from 3 sides by 3 countries.
Very much important and missed to mention is that it was Montenegrian army who was defending Serbian retreat over Albania. Back then, Serbia and Montenegro, divided by leftovers of Ottomans, were one people one nation fighting for unification (no jokes of countries that we have today)...
Also, Serbian King Peter thinking was of true leader, he anticipated that the country might be caught in a bad situation so it has to retreat south long before that actually happened. So he signed an agreement with one of the Albanian leaders who accepted to protect and take care of Serbs who would be retreating over Albania. Which he fulfilled during the retreat. In return, Serbia would provide him support to get on power. This is just one positive example where Serbs and Albanians were able to be friends and allies. Unfortunately, Albanians who weren't under his command attacked and robbed dying Serbs.
Other facts... Serbs had the youngest soldier ever - Momčilo Gavrić join the army at the age of 9 if I am not mistaken after Austro-Hungarians killed whole his family. He got the uniform and the rank like a true soldier. Raised in and by the army, he spent all the time on the front including the Albanian golgotha (the retreat over Albania) ... Milunka Savić - the most decorated female soldier ever, wounded a few times, joined the army as a man instead of her younger brother, when it was discovered that she is a woman (during tending one of her wounds) she refused to join medical staff and insisted to be sent back to the front, she alone captured dozen of enemy soldiers and was always the first who'd march forward... Old King Peter joined the common soldiers in the trenches once to burst the moral and was with the army during the whole retreat. (Imagine something like that happening in the famous British army back then!)
@HistoryHustle Only one more thing. PLEASEEEE remove that man from the cover of the video. That's not Serbian soldier.
Thanks for sharing. Where is the man from?
@@HistoryHustle Serbia :)
@@HistoryHustle One more fact for you I missed to share... You know which colors were the uniforms in WWI? For example Austrohungarian soldiers had dark blue uniforms. I am sure we're all familiar with British uniforms - they were red etc. Armies up to the end of the WWI used very vivid colors without being worried their soldiers can be spotted from the Moon. Serbian army was the first one who saw the need for camouflage and started using green uniforms even before WWI to make their soldiers less visible to the enemy.
Bravo , this is indeed a greatest short insite of the Serbs in WWI. As I said , allies' help was payed in gold and it was mostly useless. Even Korfu was payed in advance. The allies with their ships helped only after king Peter urged Russia to put a pressure. And genocide put under the rug. Not to mention the Austrian army would leave their tiphus soldiers and we took care of them. That led to further Serbian deaths , it was a sort of biological war included. Austro-Hungarians replaced muslims from Bosnia into Sandžak to create a vacuum between Serbs and Montenegreans.
There were ethnic Serbs from Austro-Hungary who fought with in Serbian army and more of them who fought with in Austro-Hungary army but on Italian and Russian fronts .
First of all thank you very much for this short video.
The Great war is called in Serbia “Serbian Golgotha” and rightly so!
We were attacked by 4 armies and we have liberated our beloved land, loosing 1/4 till 1/3 of our whole population as well as 50% of Serbian male population.
In both WW1 and 2 we were on the right part of history and then, in 1999, the collective West showed its gratitude by bombing and killing us. Never to be forgotten and even less forgiven!!!
It is correct video,I didn't notice any errors accept that is story is shorted but every key point is there.
But number of killd soldiers and civilians are not eksctly right.
Thanks for watching.
Well Serbia stood tall against the Otoman superpowwr no matter the cost, Started WW1 for not leting be puppet to Austrian superpower and is the first country to stand shoulder to shoulder with France and Russia against Hitler in WW2... that is realy impresive for any country, let alone such a small one. People there must be realy proud and rightous.
We are proud, but we did not start WWI.
Montenegro puppet better?
Serbia put in work on Austria-Hungary. Would have been interesting to see what would have happened if it stayed AH v Serbia without allies.
Serbia had little help from the allies

You made an omission in your intro-The Kingom of Serbia existed long before invasion by the Ottoman Empire and our grand, grand , grand fathers never stopped fighting against the Ottomans, untill they finally kicked them out after over 500 years of plight. That is why Serbian nation will never perish- no matter who and how powerfull our enemy is. God looks upon us with favor..
I see.
By the way my dear man,my village lost almost 1/4 of habitans and soldiers in that war so I don't see why overall statistic could be so much different?!
Because one village suffered an amount of cassualties that doesn't mean the whole country did the same.
@@HistoryHustle If you think so you then know nothing about that war but you need publicity,that is the main reason why you are on UA-cam! Every village in Serbia has monument with at least 80-100 names on it from that war,in my village are105!
nice video , can you please do episode which can explain why serbia entered or was forced to form SHS or yugoslav kingdom instead of greater serbia which would unified all serbs, thanks
Yes, it was forced to form it , the same case with Yugoslavia- to cover up the crimes of others and to give them a free path to achieve their goals.

One of the most important actions of the Italian Navy during the war was to help evacuate the Serbian Army out of Albania to rebuild in Corfu.
After the Russian intervention.Before they just stood and watched Serbs die .But at the end of the war , Russia stood by Bulgaria not Serbia. We almost lost some territories due to Bulgaria and were not allowed the entrance to the sea from Austrians. Politics has no friends.
Unfortunately Albanians tribesmen acted like savages
То није тачно. Италијани нису дочекали Србе у Скадру, Љешу и Драчу са храном, лијековима и опремом, него су са пучине гледали умирање српске војске од глади, изнемоглости и болести, док није интервенисао руски цар Николај други Романов, па су Французи покренули акцију спасавања Срба и у то под својом комндом укључили Италијане. Италијани су хтјели што више Срба да умре, да би лакше узели Далмацију.

Great video. Would have been nice to include why Serbs specifically reacted the way they did on the annexation. Many of the reasons being: Complete ban of Serbian schools, language, cultural gatherings etc. Serbs were horribly treated and there were numerous instances of massacres and forcible conversions to Catholicism.
Also important to note that an attack on the occupant isn't a terrorist attack as terrorist terrorize civilians, not dictators. Gavrilo came from a poor family and has experienced many of the things abovementioned. Many historians agree that the ultimatum given to Serbia was pure insanity as no serious country would ever accept all of the points which were in all honesty occupation in disguise. It was more of a surrender note which we declined.
Exactly
I'm a Serb but I'm from Großbetschkerek-Hungary what's now northern Serbia, my great grandfarher fought in ww1 in a machinegun unit of the K.u.K. 29 I.R. Von Laudon in Galicia. Serbs didn't want this war, Hungarians didn't want it, even the Austrians didn't want it but the bloodthirsty cousins(George, Wilhelm, Nicolas) had to settle their differences by killing milions of people.

You just can't catch a break in this region.
It is interesting over there.
1,2 milion Serbs died in WWI,out of that number 1/3 were civilians and 58% male population
During 1914 according to estimates, there were 4.6 million people within Serbia, of which approximately 2.9 million lived in Northern Serbia(modern Central Serbia) and 1.7 million in Southern Serbia (North Macedonia and Kosovo).
Given the fact that almost 98% were mobilized in Northern Serbia you will get picture clear.
Southern Serbia was not mobilized cuz of many reasons but mostly there was no really any preperations for that so only two regiments were mobilised symbolically.
Only after fall of Serbia Bulgarinas mobilized some of their own regiments by force there.
And most of damage and civilian deaths happen in Northern Serbia
True
Radomir Putnik was a genius
And Živojin Mišić
Wrong notation, there is no Bosnian Serb but only a Serb, Gavrilo Princip was a Serb and not a Bosnian Serb. The killing of FF was not a terrorist act but an assassination, the word and meaning of terrorism you can mention for today, for such distant historical times you cannot practice the term terrorism. The same applies to the meaning of genocide, it cannot be taken into account for the time before ww2 because after ww2 the meaning of that word was established..
He was a Bosnian Serb as far as I know. So not from Serbia proper but from Bosia under A H rule.
