My great grandfather enlisted on December 27th, 1915 with the 106th Overseas Battalion, Canadian Expeditionary Force, 'Nova Scotia Rifles' He was only 17 when he enlisted, He survived the war and went on to have 7 children throughout the 20s and 30s. After an incident where he had went to a lavatory, but found a British soldier hiding there and decided to walk away not a minute before that position was hit by artillery, he said he never feared death again. He died of a heart attack on August 29, 1968, 3 days before his 70th birthday
For more reading about the First World War, I recommend All Quiet on the Western Front, by Erich Maria Remarque; Goodbye to All That, by Robert Graves; and Memoirs of a Fox-Hunting Man, by Siegfried Sassoon.
So proud of you for making WWI videos Sophie! Thank you! I watched My Son Jack today, it broke my heart. All about Rudyard Kipling's son Jack serving in WWI
Finally someone is remembering WW1. My Great Great Grandfather, Vaughan, fought for the Essex Yeomanry Cavalry in WW1. He received a shrapnel wound to the head almost killing him on 10/07/1916 in the Somme. He died at a young age of 54. Thanks for the video
21:18 fun fact: it is said that Fuchsl, a dog Hitler adopted when it ran into the German trenches, saved his life, it ran away from where he was sitting, he is said to have ‘heard a voice’ (like a gut feeling that makes you do something) which made him follow it so he got up with his dinner and followed the dog and sat with it, a little later stray shell hit the place he was sitting before he got up and killed every single person there
Hi Sophie!!! I think this Will be a very interesting video... Can you do a video about the second world war… because England had a trascendental prescence… Greetings!
So happy you are here Soph!! Hope you feel better as soon as possible. Rest up, please! Take care of yourself and worry less about everything else. Sometimes we have to stop and think of ourselves and pamper ourselves, so we can be our best ❤ love you so much!
This was such a good idea. I’ve been on a WWI Documentary binge for the past 3 years. It’s so interesting yet horrible. I feel awkward because I’m the only one I know that loves history this much. Thank you so much for this video
Woosh! Sophie, I don't know how are you doing it, but I can relax even when you speak about war :o Btw Poland is celebrating this year not only because of the century of ending the war, but also regaining independence after 123 years of occupation! For us, Poles this year is particularly special. Greetings!
Poland wasnt occupied at the time of WW1 it simply just didn't exist and it hadn't existed for 123 years, what you know as modern Poland at the time was part of three empires The German empire , The Haspburg Austro-Hungarian Empire and, the Tsarist Russian empire. While it was marked on maps as Poland it was just a regional reference point for Europe, like the Balkans or Basqueland.
If anything Poland was Occupied from 1939 (in ww2 after being invaded by Germany and Russia) to 1989, when the Soviet union fell Poland was finally free
Oh, I'm really sorry for my mistake and thank you so much for your comment! Anyway this is special year for us. I exactly know what have happened to Poland, we didn't exist on maps for a long time. I just didn't know how to write it in English, I'm still learning it :P My fault, I could use translator for make sure. Thanks a lot and have a good day!
I’ve been watching your video’s since you had 30k subscribers. You will always be my favourite Asmr channel for the passion and love you put into every single video. One of your best videos so far, keep up the good work. :D
Benjamin Figgins It was also fueled by anti-Semitism. If there had been no treaty Hitler and his goons would have ether focused on that or they would have found another excuse to start the war.
Patrick Star Hitler was put into office because president Hindenburg thought he could control Hitler and his radicals if he gave him a subpar government position with no real power. It backfired immediately when Hitler used his popularity to give himself real power and rearranged the government for his own needs.
Nibelungentreue if you did study history, you would know that the Treaty of Versailles was not the only reason for Hitlers rise to power. It was a factor but it was not the sole reason.
@@redshirt5126 not so sure, the more overt acts of anti-Semitism were met with anger by Germans (kristallnacht) and Hindenburg complained to Hitler about the treatment of Jewish veterans. Really, it was economic troubles that led to the growth of fascism, because it led to a disillusionment with democracy. Those economic troubles were all down to the Wall Street Crash. Also, fear of communism helped give rise to fascism.
Thank you for this video Sophie, very well done and done with a purpose! And there is never a need for you to apologize about your appearance! As always, I thought you looked lovely :)
Thank you for this. I am a HUGE lover of History and all these facts were so very interesting to hear, there were even a bunch of things I had no idea about. Sophie, you are amazing :)
Thanks for these facts of a war most people are forgetting fast. I usually watch UA-cam on my tablet. But I cast this to my HD TV. Wow, you are really pretty.☺ I hope you enjoyed Disney down in Florida!
You are gorgeous! No apologies are ever needed for the way you look. This is how you look when you’re under the weather? When I’m under the weather, I look like death tried to take me, and then spat me back out. Sophie, you’re one of my favorite ASMRTists. I love your videos and creativity. Thank you so much.
You are honestly the most beautiful person I have ever seen, this is my first time watching one of your videos and you are absolutely stunning! I love how big your eyes are they are soooo beautiful !!
Hi Sophie, I loved this video so much as I know a lot about the war and hearing all these facts again refreshes my memory!!♥️ilyyy you’re so amazing how you care about everything and putting a video out about this subject is fantastic xx
The first tanks used in combat to push seven miles were Mark IV's and Mark V's, although the exact Roman numeral is something I can't quite recall. Definitely weren't whippet tanks.
Mentioned sergeant York Me: “Into the fires of hell, the Argonne, a hero to be Entered the war from over the sea Intervene, 1918, all the way from Tennessee Hill 223”
My great-great uncle Robert rutt he died 2 weeks before the end of the 1st world war by shrapnel wounds in hospital, i use to live in France so i visited hes little cemetery every year on the day of hes death, those war cemetarys are always in spotless condition even if their in the middle of nowhere I suppose it's the least we can do for them now.
My great grandfather and all my great uncles served in both the world war. My great grandfather was at the battle of the somme in 1916 and one of my other great uncles was at Ypres and then re enlisted in world war 2.
As long as I’m on this Earth I will never forget the sacrifices made by all those young men and women of the first Great War. Something that is lacking with a lot of today’s youth. A lot of them need to start showing some respect for our fallen brave soldiers.
Agreed brother. The young day and age now haven't got a clue compared to what the war time generation went through i respect all soldiers past and present and honour all of the deceased men and women not just of the great wars but of wars before ww1 right up to the russian-ukraine war going on at the moment.
Not so fun fact: war in europe at the time meant more business for Argentina, as an exporter of primary goods. People *today* look back at those years longingly and would very much like to replicate that country model, which doesn't, didn't, work for a number of reasons, but I'm going off on a tangent here. I hope that you get better, and wish you success with your production!
Couldn't even imagine what it was like in those trentches, trentch foot, disease, sickness, shell shock, freaken pure hell! I've seen videos of some of the soldiers completely loosing their minds!
Thank you for this timely video. Two of my ancestors are among the dead and are buried in France. Let's hope for the whole world's sake that there is never a third one.
Love it hun and you are beautiful as always. I had family fight for England in the Black Watch for of the great war. Finding his kilt was what got me into tracing my family history back, so far have gotten it back from america right before the revolutionary war to Scotland in the 1400's. Had family sail under sir Francis Drake as a Privateer. Stand behind the soldiers of your nation and in front of your government to prevent war. Always support the boys and girls of the fighting forces no matter what bone headed crap is decided for them to do.
My great grandfather and great uncle were in the first world war they served at the somme and ypres my great grandfather was wounded but survived and my great uncle survived but he was diagnosed with severe Ptsd after the war.
I haven't watched this video yet (I'll watch it later), but I wanted to let you all know that there's a UA-cam channel dedicated to WWI, in case you want to know more about it. It's called The Great War.

Omg educational asmr might be the best idea ever
The two things that make me sleepiest combined! 😴
17:30 Quite sad when you realise that all those extra lives ended up in WW2 right when they hit around 20 years old, the serving age
Gofert 4455 he’s talking about the children from the post-war baby boom.... bruh...
They were different for each country do research
I love your facts videos, it's a really great concept and you literally go to sleep less stupid like we say in France! Keep up the great work!

Its also Veterans day in the US

GaiusXI Also a good one I found was They Shall Not Grow Old was a great documentary. Although I do not know who made it.
I have a history test tomorrow on the First World War and this is my revision! Thank you sof very informative I hope I do well ❤️
Carla McGrath good luck ☺️
*Soph her name is Sophie not Sofie. Best of luck on your test. Pay close attention when you read the questions. That's what messes people up the most.

Truly the most relevant and important war ever fought in the last several centuries
My great grandfather was in the Durham light infantry at the somme also that's just mad to think our relatives fought alongside eachother in France.

ASMR and WW1. Never thought I’d see the two together but I’m definitely here for it
Hi Sophie!!! I think this Will be a very interesting video... Can you do a video about the second world war… because England had a trascendental prescence… Greetings!
As a former member of the British forces, I thank you for your interest in our history. Well done and good luck.
Love the educational stuff. We all spend soo much time listening to asmr it’s nice to be able to also learn while I go to sleep.
This reminds me of the voiceovers in museums that tell you information. It’s so calming!! 😍
So happy you are here Soph!! Hope you feel better as soon as possible. Rest up, please! Take care of yourself and worry less about everything else. Sometimes we have to stop and think of ourselves and pamper ourselves, so we can be our best ❤ love you so much!
What a great idea for a video; both extremely informative and relaxing! Top notch, as always! 💜
*lady gently whispers facts of devastation in your ear as you fall asleep*
Jk 😂
Lovely video though
This was such a good idea. I’ve been on a WWI Documentary binge for the past 3 years. It’s so interesting yet horrible. I feel awkward because I’m the only one I know that loves history this much. Thank you so much for this video
bless you for filming when youre under the weather, you are honestly such a dedicated creator and your videos are never a disappointment. big love 💜
I love history facts videos! It's great to fall asleep while learning. You should do one about the French Revolution!!

Versailles treaty is the start of ww2.
Gary Rice The rise of Communism and Fascism was the start of ww2.
Benjamin Figgins It was also fueled by anti-Semitism. If there had been no treaty Hitler and his goons would have ether focused on that or they would have found another excuse to start the war.

Ur a real sweetie u are with a real understanding and respect for what you talk about. God bless you, never forget x
