there is two problem about the germain defeat: 1st, they took Elsaß-Lothringen to french, Bismarck was against this idea because he knew it would lead to a French revenge ... his objective was a European balance to avoid war, but other leader of the german reich wanted more, and that was stupid... Elsaß-Lothringen was nessecaire only in the plan of the great germany, but finaly the kaiser choose the little germany (without austria) In fact, germany could have made France an ally against the British colonial hegemony . Or liberate more german territories of the austrian hungarian empire and russia, who would be far more profitable for das reich... second is the treaty of versaille who was far to hard (but understandable after millions of death) a light peace treaty could have avoided revanchism, and made this war the last european major conflicts... major european country could have just worked together to avoid another war like that....
@@kamikazestryker The thing is there are many opinions about this or what should have been done, but truthfully the Germans did not have any more favorable of a situation, and it was actually a bad situation due to the geographical location of Germany, even Bismarck realized this... The thing is, world war would have almost entirely been unavoidable, especially with the countries France, England and eventually Russia. Bismarck had helped keep the peace and stability, but France wanted revenge for the former war and victory against them and taking a territory of theirs. Also, England was becoming very watchful and suspicious about Imperial Germany's growing power and influence in the region and did not want to give up their hegemony over Europe.

0:50-0:57 - King Constantine of Greece (the Kaiser’s brother-in-law) observing German Army manoeuvres in Spring 1914 - just months before the start of the Great War. He was a graduate of the Imperial German War College (Berlinisches Kriegsakademie, 1886-1888) and had served in the Zweite Regiment zu Fuss (Prussian Imperial Food Guards) the uniform of which he is wearing in this scene. Greece would later find herself on the side of the Allies (the “Entente Cordiale”) and Constantine himself would be exiled for his pro-German (officially neutralist) sympathies. The aftermath of his bitter conflict with the charismatic Liberal statesman Eleutherios Venizelos was the beginning of great calamities for the Greek nation, and still resounds in the country’s political life to this day...

I feel so bad for history and especially the Germans. Just this year I visited Mexico for a months time and, quite surprised, I met a young 'German' woman who was not really German. Her parents were Mexican and had immigrated in the 80's, where she was born. All she had known was Germany raised as a Mexican. She attacked me for being American. She attacked me for patriotism. She attacked me for anything I sought to feel prideful over. When I asked her if she was proud to be German, she said no. She was not white and did not have any heritage worth lederhosen. She truly hated the country that had raised her.

I respect him as a Serbian. My great grandfather fought in ww1 for Serbia and said Germans were respectful compared to Austro-Hungarian and Bulgarian soldiers which were burning Churches, killing children but worst were Bulgarians which were doing "bulgarisation" which goal was to kill as many serbians as possible, give newborn Serbian children Bulgarian surnames and learn Bulgarian language. He was captured by Bulgarians and later transported to Germany as P.O.W he said in German camp it was heaven compared to Bulgarian occupied Serbia.
Sorry but so did the Serbians and Greeks to us. The only difference is that those lands we took from you had majority bulgarian ehtnicity even after both the wars so tell me which one is worse: Cleansing an ethnicity with majority population or a smaller one.

One thing that is consistent in several of these films is that the Kaiser was reviewing his marching troops not distanced from them or at the top of a raised platform with lots of decorations, but as close to them as practical and accompanied by a small entourage. You don't see too many monarchs doing this.
The last film sequence shows the victory parade after the battle of Riga in 1917. My great grandfather fought there as a second-lieutenant in the 2. guard division. He is somewhere among the parading troops.

I know the world became pacifist, but back then it was really different. And I say that Napoleon was a great commander, and person too. Even if he caused millions to die.

Great video! It'd be even better with a recoloring? I remember my grandma telling me of Emperor's birthday. Everyone would dress very nicely and wait by the street. The emperor would drive by in an open carriage and wave and greet people. Very positive, cheerful atmosphere. Berlin suburbs in the 1900s. Generally, she was very much pro monarchy till her last breath.
Oh dear, the Kaiser was about to get into that motorcar wearing that helmet; I can just imagine what leaf-spring suspension and an unseen pothole might lead to...
You can date the times when the videos were filmed by the types of uniforms. The dark uniforms are the dark blue, pre-1908 tunics worn with black trousers. Some of the fancy head wear is really rare, like the Garde du Corps helmets with the Eagles as a finial[they were heavy, uncomfortable and completely obsolete by 1914]. Those Leib Kuraissere helmets with the lobster-tail neck guards were pretty but equally useless by 1914. By 1918, most troops wore the Stahlhelm, the Pickelhaube was worn only on ceremonial occasions usually only by officers.

I knew Wilhelm II had a withered arm but I honestly didn't realise how short it was compared to his other arm. They really did a good job of hiding it in official paintings and photographs but here in this footage it is very noticeable.
And yet he became a very capable horseback rider in spite of it. He also chopped down trees during his later exile using only one arm to swing the axe.
He was very mean to his mother.
He was often painted or photographed in Hussar uniform, as the easiest way to hide the shortened arm.

0:50-0:57 - King Constantine of Greece (the Kaiser’s brother-in-law) observing German Army manoeuvres in Spring 1914 - just months before the start of the Great War. He was a graduate of the Imperial German War College (Berlinisches Kriegsakademie, 1886-1888) and had served in the Zweite Regiment zu Fuss (Prussian Imperial Food Guards) the uniform of which he is wearing in this scene. Greece would later find herself on the side of the Allies (the “Entente Cordiale”) and Constantine himself would be exiled for his pro-German (officially neutralist) sympathies. The aftermath of his bitter conflict with the charismatic Liberal statesman Eleutherios Venizelos was the beginning of great calamities for the Greek nation, and still resounds in the country’s political life to this day...

I feel so bad for history and especially the Germans. Just this year I visited Mexico for a months time and, quite surprised, I met a young 'German' woman who was not really German. Her parents were Mexican and had immigrated in the 80's, where she was born. All she had known was Germany raised as a Mexican. She attacked me for being American. She attacked me for patriotism. She attacked me for anything I sought to feel prideful over. When I asked her if she was proud to be German, she said no. She was not white and did not have any heritage worth lederhosen. She truly hated the country that had raised her.

I respect him as a Serbian. My great grandfather fought in ww1 for Serbia and said Germans were respectful compared to Austro-Hungarian and Bulgarian soldiers which were burning Churches, killing children but worst were Bulgarians which were doing "bulgarisation" which goal was to kill as many serbians as possible, give newborn Serbian children Bulgarian surnames and learn Bulgarian language. He was captured by Bulgarians and later transported to Germany as P.O.W he said in German camp it was heaven compared to Bulgarian occupied Serbia.
It goes to show how loose the WWI alliances really were.
Sorry but so did the Serbians and Greeks to us. The only difference is that those lands we took from you had majority bulgarian ehtnicity even after both the wars so tell me which one is worse: Cleansing an ethnicity with majority population or a smaller one.
WalrusSucker25 Neither
I always loved the story of how August von Mackensen had his soldiers build a monument to the Serbs they had fought in one particularly fierce battle.

@@ParabellumStoria probably you know less about the hugenottes
You can date the times when the videos were filmed by the types of uniforms. The dark uniforms are the dark blue, pre-1908 tunics worn with black trousers. Some of the fancy head wear is really rare, like the Garde du Corps helmets with the Eagles as a finial[they were heavy, uncomfortable and completely obsolete by 1914]. Those Leib Kuraissere helmets with the lobster-tail neck guards were pretty but equally useless by 1914. By 1918, most troops wore the Stahlhelm, the Pickelhaube was worn only on ceremonial occasions usually only by officers.
I like the way the Kaiser makes his hand into a fist: “We will be victorious!” Boy, was he in for a surprise.
