- How did World War 1 start? We bet some of you don't know it began with an assassination, but why would the killing of the heir to the Astro-Hungarian Empire start a global conflict which the world had never seen before? Check out today's new video where we try and explain the many factors that led to the world erupting in what would be known as the "Great War".

Facts
Not funny. I didn't laugh. Your joke is so bad I would have preferred the joke went over my head and you gave up re-telling me the joke. To be honest this is a horrible attempt at trying to get a laugh out of me. Not a chuckle, not a hehe, not even a subtle burst of air out of my esophagus. Science says before you laugh your brain preps your face muscles but I didn't even feel the slightest twitch. 0/10 this joke is so bad I can't believe anyone legally allowed you to be creative at all. The amount of brain power you must have put into that joke has the potential to power every house on Earth. Get a personality and learn how to make jokes, read a book. I'm not saying this to be funny i genuinely mean it on how this is just bottom barrel embarrassment at comedy. You've single handedly killed humor and every comedic act on the planet. I'm so disappointed that society has failed as a whole in being able to teach you how to be funny. Honestly if I put in all my power and time to try and make your joke funny it would require Einstein himself to build a device to strap me into so I can be connected to the energy of a billion stars to do it, and even then all that joke would get from people is a subtle scuff. You're lucky i still have the slightest of empathy for you after telling that joke otherwise I would have committed every war crime in the book just to prevent you from attempting any humor ever again. We should put that joke in text books so future generations can be wary of becoming such an absolute comedic failure. Im disappointed, hurt, and outright offended that my precious time has been wasted in my pathetic brain understanding that joke. In the time that took i was planning on helping kids who have been orphaned, but because of that you've wasted my time explaining the obscene integrity of your terrible attempt at comedy. Now those kids are suffering with out meals and there's nobody to blame but you. I hope you're happy with what you have done.

Itâs crazy to think that someone could have fought in World War 1, thinking it really was âthe war to end all wars,â just to have their kid fight in World War 2 less than twenty years later.
Mhm
Actually, a good chunk of soldiers might've fought in both wars because children as young as like 18 were soldiers. which means that 20 years later they wouldn't even be 40 which would've made them forced to be drafted into the second world war as soldiers.
RIP To The Legends Who Passed Away In War

- I still have no idea how WWI started.
A serb shot a prince
Go and watch Oversimplified's videos much easier to follow
-A Serb shot the prince of another country
-The country that had the prince declared war on Serbia due to old grudges
-Everyone joined in the war due to alliance treaties and they wanted to show off their military and prove they were better than everyone else
-Other countries joined because they were bored and were promised things that they were never going to get
Really that's it in a nutshell

I completely agree, I don't think World War I was avoidable. For example if the Archduke hadn't been assassinated, but I think it was an excuse for all of Europe to declare war on each other. The only way it could have been avoided is if Europe's leaders weren't so power hungry.
The primary cause of the war was Imperial Germany, blowing up a local Balkan conflict to crush France and Russia.

Indian soldier were one of the most important army in both World War but Western country forgotten India's contribution. In first World War, Over one million Indian troops served overseas, of whom 62,000 died and another 67,000 were wounded. In total at least 74,187 Indian soldiers died during the war. And Lastly Second World War, The British Indian Army during World War II began the war, in 1939, numbering just under 200,000 men.[1] By the end of the war, it had become the largest volunteer army in history, rising to over 2.5 million men in August 1945. Over 87,000 Indian soldiers (including those from modern day Pakistan, Nepal, and Bangladesh) died in World War II.

Italy didnt fight with the Germans. They were going to fight with the Germans and declared the alliance with the central powers but had a pact to remain neutral if Germany attacked France which was one of Germanys main goal. So Italy remained neutral then a few months later they decided to join the allies side.
The Italians did not fight with the Germans once in WW1 but instead starting attacking Austria Hungary.
*These Italians just dont seem to be able to make up their minds*
Italy in many ways were outside the European theatre north of the Alps. This also included WW2. I have sympathy with them.
@@malcolmabram2957 I don't feel sympathy considering they colonized my people and enslaved them under Mussolini. Even though we had nothing to do with European affairs and conflicts.

Some more facts: Austria-Hungary annexed Bosnia (crawling with Serbs) which domestic people found quite repulsive, that's why they killed a lot more high officials there. The Serbian ambassador In AH delivered concerns that attentat might be possible and he was laughed out loud. But the main game changer is that Gabrilo Princip was Austro-Hungarian citizen, not Serbian. He was a Serbian guy living in Bosnia which was annexed by AH.

man , you have soo much of info
actually, i believe that the rapid industrialization of Germany at the time led to the conflict leading up to WWI. Due to their sudden rise in power, it put Britain, France and Russia on high alert, and as we all know it got worse from there.
Coalitions and arms race are the reasons behind ww1. Look at Ukraine now, everyoneâs wanting to send weapons to them and help them, they think theyâre helping, but theyâre just heating up the situation, getting more nations involved. The worst case scenario is that weâll have China and Rusia against the rest of the world in a few months. Then; whoâs the dock head. Not saying that Iâm with Rusia, I dislike Putin and his acts alot, but I donât think interference will help Ukraine one bit, if we now should look at history, so that weâre not condemned to repeat it.
Yeah no bud.

Italy was not part of the central powers during WW1, they were friends but just before the outbreak the italy and german friendship fell apart, then the allies promised them a lot of land, so they switched sides, but they never got all the land which is a reason for italy being an axis power in ww2.
i saw a american movie the movie is in english where it tells of german soldiers during world war 1 they were fighting in trenches in occupied france they were off duty swimming when they saw girls they went up to the girls and spoke to them in french. the german soldier saves a foreign soldier fighting in the trenches i do not know what country he was from at the end of the movie the german soldier telling the story gets shot and dies i do not know what movie was that i forgot the name of the movie

âWorld war 1 was caused by many different factors and countries, theres not just one person or nation to blameâ but we will mostly talk about Germany, their ambitions, leaders, military, and peoples almost exclusively.
We will mostly talk about germany because that's the history provided by the "heroic" allies. In reality Britain could prevent the start of World war 1. Germany were willing to leave both beligum and france be if Britain ensured its neutrality but they refused. That's right, Britain could have prevented world war 1 with a sentence but it was never their intention. Churchill was a true war-monger . They were definitely the ones steering the world towards a war.
grus grus well I agree with the narrator, there is many reasons. Europe was a powder keg, the rapid colonialism helped escalate a European conflict to a global one. I grew up in small town America where I was told Germany caused both world wars, and videos like these almost help fan the flames to that narrative but the whole picture is much more dense than a global conflict being chalked up to a single lone nation.
đ đ
@@TheDarkEnemy Actually, no. By that point there was already war between Germany and Russia. Britain couldn't prevent the war by then because it'd already started. There was war in Serbia, and with Russia.
And if Britain agreed to neutrality, all of its alliances would be wrecked, because nobody would consider them trustworthy enough for an alliance. It'd be a case of "you sold France and Belgium out, who's to say you won't sell us out too?" If Britain did that, France was still refusing a guarantee of neutrality, probably for the same reason, so Germany would've gone to war with them anyway.
Also, Churchill wasn't Prime Minister in 1914, Herbert Asquith was.
Informational, useful and educational, unlike quite a few of your other videos. Well done.

Correction it wasnt so much Wilhelm who wanted this war to happen but more his army chief of staff Helmuth von Moltke (the younger), it was he who most feared the future capabilities of the Russian rail network
My great grandpa served in the US army in ww1. We have a picture of him in his uniform on the mantle.
You must know that Franc Ferdinand hated Serbs and it's not a nationalism , it's centuries of being oppress by foreign powers . Plus Franc and his wife were in Sarajevo on Vidovdan , important day for Serbs bc of the battle on Kosovo . Serbian people experienced atrocities and ofc that they were revolting.

Well actually, the Kaiser went on vacation before the war, and most Higher up Russians were trying to not end up in war. One of them basically told the Tsar he was weak, and the Tsar continued the mobilization while on the verge of peace. The Germans in charge while Wilhelm was away were the ones who really wanted the war. France wanted revenge om the Germans for the Franco-Prussia war. Britain really just wanted Germany to be weak. The diplomats in Russia and Germany had almost reached a peace settlement, but then the German diplomat died of a heart attack. However, everyone thought it was poison.
" Britain really just wanted Germany to be weak. "

Very interesting.....
In old literature, starting from the time of the War of 1812, all the way up through the start of WW1, it is often expressed that a group of independent British Tycoon Imperialists *were suspected of constantly trying to covertly* "stir up" aggressions between neighboring balkan/european countries. As Imperialists, the idea was to get neighboring countries engaged in a war, and, from a safe distance (provided by the "water gap" of the English Channel), sit back and watch two nearby combatant countries WEAR EACH OTHER DOWN (and thereby render each other Weak.) Once the two manipulated countries were sufficiently Weak, the plan of the British Tycoon Imperialists was to "swoop down" and "scoop up" all the available spoils that the two (manipulated) weakened countries had to offer. In other words, back in the Old Days (years 1812 through 1918), it was *THE BRITISH* who were constantly suspected (in a "tin foil hat"/conspiracy sort of way) of reliably being the universal *BAD GUYS* .
And it probably ended after the start of WW1 because then it was the US's turn to fill that role
