"General Brusilov, where will we concentrate our forces in this offensive"
"......."
"General?"
"Yes."
117.
Yes……….
We really don't realize how important Russia was no matter how brief it was. All we talk about is the USSR. I wish we spent more time an Tsarest Russia
"no matter how brief it was" - Tsarist Russia had existed for 4 hundred years.
@@iliakorvigo7341 i think he means the years they fought in the war
if the Communist revolution didnt happened Austro Hungary would surrender within two weeks there is the brief at a museum in Vienna that prooves that.
@Roughman Dude, you don't know much about Russian history. The Bolshevik propaganda destroyed the troops morale after, not before February 1917. In February 1917, Russian troops on the frontline were quite firm. It was the rear units, the city garrisons, that had low morale and rose in a revolt. But the situation at the front was still managable. It was the revolution, with the "democratization of the army", that followed, that destroyed the Russian Army.
@Roughman as a latvian, whose Fatherland was the battlegrounds of ww1, the Eastern front, I know troops didn't leave their posts so willingly. They were holding half of Latvia with the Latvian Riflemen holding the germans back from advancing deep in the Empire. Germans were alright with holding their captured teritory that had rescources and no one was trying much to take it back after The Febuary revolution. A bit of a pickle in Russia during that time. So the germans didn't take the teritory so easily with the Russian army troops abandaning their posts.
Now some days I found a journal from my grand grand father , he was Romanian but fought for Austro Hungaryan force , and he wrote about brusilov and so many other fights. He finished the war in the prison at the Russians
My great grandfather was a Cossack Cavalryman and later went on to fight in the White Army
my grand father was apart of Al Qaeda and died during the war on terror
@@stephano3211 LOL
Ya boi Stxph and that’s why the USA shouldn’t invade other countries at the end they lose, (Vietnam-war, Irak-war...) and take unnecessary casualties.
My great-grandfather fought in WW2. I forget where.
I've been here for a year when you guys had only had 20k. You guys are the best.
Thx for simple history now i'am a smart boy ty
You should do an episode on the Italian-Austrian front during WWI. Imagine several million men occupying mountainous trenches; using avalanches and dragged artillery against one another.
It was from this front that a soldier named Mussolini came.
And Rommel if I'm correct was a part of that
Nice btw my teacher loves this channel

Nobody:
Russians in 1916: In the name of the Tsar it is then
Brusilov - Verdun and the Somme where the three major battles fought at almost the same time.
This was modern war.
Verdun - 707,000
Somme - 1,050,000
Brusilov - 2,400,000
Around 4,157,000 total casualties for only 3 engagements in only 1 year.
Still blows my mind how the Allies saw these numbers and said "Yeah, let's keep going"
@@whishiwhooshi5783 Imagine what happened in Russia during civil war when 11m russians died
I know the casualties of the Brusilov Offensive:
Russia: 500,000-1,000,000 Casualties
Austria-Hungary: 1,000,000-1.5,000,000 Casualties
Germany: 350,000 Casualties.
Let’s not forget the Ottomans got involved of this offensive:
Ottomans: 12,000 Ottoman Casualties.
@Michael Miller you overestimate the losses of German and Austrian soldiers. Everyone is clear what has been lost only one German-Austrian boi with Turkish blood.
@Michael Miller with your statistics there could be no successful offensive.
I love the 1.5,000,000 number.
As someone who often visited the same Wikipedia page from time to time to learn about history, I can tell you that Wikipedia is not the most reliable source since today there might say that the Russians lost 1 Million men, after 3 months it said they post 500k and after 6 months they lost 750k. It might not have said that but this is just an example. I saw casualties and army strength numbers change from time to time on Wikipedia.
For the tzar my friend!

Man, you all are amazing Simple History! I love how you guys simply show all of this in short and sweet videos. I’m in a 2018 competition called NHD, Or NationalHistoryDay. My project I have chosen is castle Itter, and your video is helping me gather info along with other sights.
Simple History really is simple! Very easy to understand, fun to watch, great narration. Love this channel!
Trivia Time! Without rewatching the video:
1) What town did the Russian eighth Army take?
2) How many German divisions did Erich von Falkenhayn, release from Verdun?
3) What new strategies did General Alexei Brusilov's bring?
I think Russia did the most in ww1 and had the biggest impact on the war as well 🇷🇺

Very good explanation, also, the animations seem to have improved! Keep up the good work!
Thx for making education fun. I love to learn about ww1 and ww2
as always brilliant content and great facts!!!! keep up the good work!!
I really appreciate the attention paid to the rifles and uniforms used by different countries in your videos. Good job with animations.
Some suggestions for further WW2 videos (I know this isn't a WW2 video but I love that series):
- the Ustase
- the 201st Fighter Squadron
- Battles of Khalkhin Gol
- Battle of Clervaux (aka Luxembourg's Alamo)
- the Free French forces
- the Free Arabian Legion & Free Indian Legion
- Burmese campaign
calypsis I don't think this channel will ever do the Ustase. They are too controversial and just imagine the shitstorm that will be the comments...
they won't do these maybe 201st the rest aren't well known
Khalkin Gol is interwar fyi
to much credit is give to ustashe, they peak number was 70 000 at 1944, in 1941 they were only 20 000 of ustashe.. plus history is not precisely accurate
This channel is amazing, everything is just perfect and unique! Props to you guys!
bloody brilliant video guys, keep them coming! My school has started to use these animations in my History lessons since they're are so understandable and clear!
Kinda wish my unit was with those reserves. Would've been a grand experience.
I am sure and I would have helped if I was alive that the time
Erwin Rommel you betrayed the Nazis
no
Erwin Rommel
You failed us in the Western and North African front! I'm afraid you might do it again.Sorry, but you're a failure.
You were just a lieutenant by then, wouldn't have made much of a difference.
When will Erwin Rommel get his own video?
He was over rated, brave (recklessly so at times) and a decent tank commander, but he had no clue about how to run supply lines properly. It was a constant problem that he'd over extend.
@@LordDeathNote but he's awesome.
@@LordDeathNote lmao overrated what a dumb. Even the allies respect him
@Feelippines 🇵🇭
Rommel was daring. He was relatively good strategist, but paid little attention to supply lines.
I would say the Germans' best generals in WW2 were Manstein, Guderian, and Rundstedt (probably in that order too). Rommel would be high up on the list too, but he was not as good as the three very gifted men I have mentioned above.
Keep up the good work guys I’ve noticed that you are trying harder and harder with the animation so really well done
Nice job, looking forward to new videos of Simple History - I support this channel!!!
Man I love this! My triplets in junior high school have learned a lot about WWI from this channel.
Cool video!
Keep up what your doing!!! This stuff is awesome!!!
I always understand why you make almost every week. Its because they will be quality videos and not trash videos. I love this channel so much!!!!
My great-grandfather received the St. George Cross for the Brusilov breakthrough, then was captured and was there for about a year, learned the German language. He escaped from captivity through together with one Ukrainian.
I like how you put a “Russian” 1895 at one part because large numbers of them were used by Russian forces due to weapon shortages

Now I know what I’m fighting for in BF1
That’s right,General Brusilov was Russia’s Finest General in WWI and Trained Russian soldiers were very good at combat.Thanks a lot for the video
Evry time u upload a video my notification goes off and I can't wait to watch the video keep it up
This was the highest quality video you gave made
Interesting fact - after revolution Brusilov became a general of Red Army of workers and peasantry(RKKA).
Guessing he was pissed at the incompetence of the previous government
He also was a friend of Mannerheim, but Brusilov was anti-Monarchistic and Mannerheim was pissed at Russians.
@@fulcrum2951 No, most former Imperial generals who later served the Reds simply had few other career options then.
@@jurisprudens Most former generals fled Russia or died in the civil war. Brusilov joined the reds, that was the point.
@@GabrielNichoContrary to stereotypes, the White generals and officers, who later had to emigrate, were the minority of the former Imperial army generals and officers. The majority joined the Reds, like Brusilov, or stayed neutral
When russia single handedly takes on 3 countries and almost takes out 2 of them in ww1 but gets little recognition
Russia almost took the capital of the ottoman empire and crippled Austrias army
that was gallipoli and it was a disaster for the entente

Ohh..
@@faurtracstv715 "bloody communists", said the monarchist, who would prefer to own slaves. Can u imagine that? In 20 century, Russian nobility had slaves! When other countries was in progress, doing new inventions, searching, Russia was in medieval century! And peasants, workers hadn't any rights, nobility and tsar thought that it ridiculous and no way to do it. They hadn't rights to study, what am talking about, they even hadn't own soil! Of course communists aren't angels, but remember - Russian monarchy killed a WAY more than all the communist (dictatorships, actually, but it other long discussion) regimes, what ever exist. Commies at least guaranteed some rights and gave ways to be successful, to have fucking own house, and made ussr the great power, from fucking peasantry to nuclear country
Awesome video!
Nicely done with the history.
2:25 just me who is happy to see a Russian Winchester 1895?
Can you do the Anglo-Zulu war?
Everything is perfect with this channel.
Fantastic video
Diverting 18 German divisions when they mattered the most in verdun and near complete destruction of Austro Hungarian army are some of the miraculous and underappreciated aspects if only brusilov was supplied with men and ammunitions after initial gain😔😔😔
