We love this video! Our videos are sort of an appetizer for history, so people that may be curious about it have a fun entrance point, so a video where a history expert gives context is perfect!
Actually Kaiser Wilhelm II urgend Franz Joseph not to declare war on Serbia, the Blank cheque was basically just confirming their already existing alliance, saying yes, in case of war, we will support you, but in a personal letter, Wilhelm II asked Franz Joseph not to escalate the situation.
Honestly, Austria (not Hungary) should've been partitioned between the war-torn Germany, Italy, Romania, Poland and Serbia (Yugoslavia). Hungary should've been at least saved, since they were the less-involved part of the empire.
I'd love to see someone cover the invasion of Belgium in more depth. We always hear about it as a quick footnote like being yeeted into France here, but that phase alone was a month long German invasion campaign against hostile territory and Germany did some pretty horrible things over the course of the war that followed.
@@willowandluka5302 Absolutely. I would love to see each country put its own history classes online somewhere with good translation software. We are at least getting to see things like how the British teach the American Revolution now, so I'm hopeful having more and more of the world online will get us the opportunity to learn more of these perspectives.
The Austria Hungarians were probably looking for a war cause Serbia agreed to every other demand other than the investigation which was impossible since it basically was Serbia agreeing to give up its sovereignty. Germany also was going with the idea that if Austria Hungry did invade then they would do it immediately, while people were still angry at Serbia for the assassination but it took way longer than expected as well.
Lol no kidding. Most people don't know how brave the Canadians are and some of the wild stuff they've done during wartime. I would take a Canadian watching my back over many of our other allies. I did combined arms training with them back in 2000 and they were top notch Soldiers/Marines. Very professional
not so fun fact: the Geneva convention was made because Canadians all things on there was done by Canadians (other than gas attacks) ex. throwing food at Germans so they get used to it then finally throwing grenades
This guy puts some good amounts of analysis into his videos which I think is just great for videos like Mr. Spherical's. Which his channel is totally worth checking out for anyone reading this!
Mr. Terry. I've sort of realised that when Germany failed to secure France in the first month of it's invasion, they ultimately lost the war. Maybe you can elaborate on whether or not that's right or wrong. Secondly, I've also wondered if it wasn't the threat of Democracy that really caused Germany to [want] to invade anybody, really. But France was deemed the easy target. These are great videos you post in light of what's happening in Russia, China and North Korea. Is this, WW1, a harbinger to the end of communistic regimes as well?
I know it has not much to do with real history of ww1 but i find the story behind Tanya the evil really interesting maybe its something worthwhile to look at. It's kind of alternative history after all which I find very intriguing. Oh and before I forget thx for the video as always. ^^
Hey Terry, could you and Chris from Vlogging through History make a video together or even react to him. And if possible, could you, Chris and Mr. Beat make a video together.
In the history classes I had, we were taught the whole nationalism, alliance, militarism, and stuff like that. I always knew it was never 1 trigger(for example world war 1 and world war 2)
Please review Drew Durnil, he makes history and geography meme reviews, map reviews and history and geography memes in general Ps: original idea by Tom Schneeberg
From the German perspective Austria acted to slow. They assumed Austria would act immediately to use the wave of upset going through Europe. The blank check is actually a quite complicated topic. The deep reasons why Germany went through with it was since they expected that France and Russia planed a war at some point anyways (why else would France invest in the Railway infrastructure that was designed to help Russia to mobilise against Germany). And with the perception everyone outside of Russia had about Russia they expected to lose any war set in the future by virtue of Russia catching up in terms of industry and technology. So a war now was preferable and a lot of the other bad decisions followed from that assumption. The truth was of course that France did these investments expecting that Germany seeks a war at some future point (why else would Germany invest so much to be able to mobilise lightning fast against France ...). Classic catch 22 just on national doctrine level.
You should watch legends of tomorrow's last season I can't remember the episode number by going back in time to stop Franz Ferdinand from being assassinated it's a very funny episode
This video REALLY makes me wonder why Germany couldn’t have just gone through Switzerland or even Austria-Hungary & Italy into France if Belgium declined. Just wondering…
Geography, right? I may be mistaken, but isn't Belgium mainly flatter lands with the Italian and Swiss borders to France being mountain heavy. Also wasn't Austria-Hungary in almost the opposite direction?
The German plan was to get to Paris quickly to make France capitulate to avoid a 2 front war. Belgium is closer to Paris, and it's also flat unlike the borders with Switzerland or Italy.
@@drm9694 I know, but the French would’ve been unprepared if they tried ether of the two options I’ve just mentioned, & so therefore might’ve fallen quicker? Plus should’ve the Germans knew that going through Belgium might’ve gotten the UK into the war because of the 1839 Treaty Of London? Just wondering…
@@drm9694 correct me if I’m wrong if the Germans knew about it signed the 1839 Treaty Of London, but they were involved in it & so therefore k ew about it, but the question on if they signed it or not is irrelevant because the Germans knew about the treaty & so therefore should’ve known that the UK was gonna most likely enter the war if they went through Belgium. Hence why I suggested they go through Switzerland or if Switzerland also declined, then take the long way through Austria-Hungary & Italy, it just seems like the more logical solution to me because sure the route is longer, but there’s NO way the French could’ve expected it, & both Austria-Hungary & Italy were ether the Central Powers &/or had an alliance with Germany, so it would make more sense to take the long route & take out France while at the same time NOT provoking any other nations into joining the Allied Powers & NOT completely destroying their reputation (at least in the Allied nations) at the same time! Just saying…

It would be so interesting to have history class in another country. I’m sure in Belgium, they go super deep into all of that.

@@Merennulli yes I honestly want to hear the story from other countries' point of view
@@Merennulli That is a really good business idea🤔

Kind of disappointed that we didn’t see a Canadian countryball doing some crazy stuff in the background.
Me too i want them commiting war crimes

Canadians never lost wars before the 2000's is creepy as hell
Canadians disguise the batshit insane things they did in the World Wars by putting on a nice facade.

I heard it was because a guy called Archie Duke shot an Ostrich because it was hungry; seriously though that was a great video and commentary
