Hello, dear viewers. We're happy to present this new, more detailed video about the First World War. This will be followed by a new video on the Second World War.
Two quick notes:
1) Arthur Balfour was indeed only a minister -- not prime minister -- at the time he published the letter to Lord Rothschild.
2) The name François-Ferdinand is the French version of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria.
We hope you like the video. If you'd like to support our mission of making history more accessible to the general public, consider donating to our Patreon: www.patreon.com/geohistory
How do you make these videos?
can you teach me video editing you biggest fan
Can u do one of these videos on the vietnam war? My pop that died two years ago was involved in the war and i didnt learn much from him..
Cool and video better I love you did thus
Please release ww2 history as quick as possible 😁👍

This is one of the best summaries of WWI that I’ve seen or read. I think what makes it great is the changes on the world map. I’m a historian so when I read historical documents, I always check maps to mark as I read. This helps with understanding the historical consequences of what and why events unfolded. Kudos. I think these videos should be shared in history classes and the students should break it down by decade. Well done.
@@johnmanning5568 Re-read the video title, this video is about World War One
They didn't say anything about heroic Serbia and their defence. The fact is that Serbia is attacked from 10 time much populated Austro-hungary. Such a little nation which survived retreat across Albania mountains where all european countres wrote off Serbians. At the that time, all the allies was admired Serbia, how such a little nation survived and won in WWI. Serbia suffered the worst casualties, as a proportion of its population, of all nations in World War One. Out of a population of 4 million, Serbia lost 1.1 million people in the war, or 27% of its population and over 60% of its male population 265,000 Serbian soldiers died or 25% of all mobilised men
@milosbajovic2971 I beg to differ. Serbia is a little country with a big chip on its shoulder. They were responsible for WWI and they have contributed NOTHING to the betterment of the world: no scientists, artists, musician, architecture, mathematics, philosophy or other civilized learning. They were under the boot heel of the Ottoman Empire and they never evolved. Go back to your cave and start improving yourselves.

I like the art style of your videos. Especially in middle when the base drops when the first world war starts. And at the end when you zoom out to see the entire world keep on turning.
When you realize the ottoman empire and austria-hungary fought against eachother for their whole life but ended up dying together in ww1
Ironic isn’t it.
True
If politics makes strange alliances then war makes even stranger ones.
bcuz of russia
Im happy my country (ottoman empire/turkey) controlled half of africa, half of europe and most of asia. They were strong but cause of them joining the wrong team they lost if they were on the right team, Ottoman would still exist today!.
Fun fact: To contribute to the war effort German women gave their gold marriage rings and replaced them with iron ones that had "Ich gab Gold für Eisen" (I gave gold for iron) written on them
That's neat
Wow really?
Good fun fact
Battlefield 1 player eh?
Looks like someone loves loading screen tips
Eisen means Iron not Silver!
really enjoyed reading the comments on this video about World War I. It's amazing to see how people are engaged and interested in history. The video's use of maps really helped me understand the historical context and consequences of events, and it's great to see others having the same experience. I think this video would be an excellent resource for students in history classes, as it provides a clear and concise summary of the war. I also appreciate the insights shared in the comments, such as the one about Germany's struggles to find useful allies. It's clear that there's still so much to learn about this complex and important period in world history. Thanks for sharing your thoughts

What's really cool in this video is the timeline of events and treaties in the several decades before WWI that led up to FF's assassination, and the connection drawn between new republics against old empires. AH & G doggedly held on to an ultimately vanquished royalty.
"Europe today is a powder keg and the leaders are like men smoking in an arsenal … A single spark will set off an explosion that will consume us all … I cannot tell you when that explosion will occur, but I can tell you where … Some damned foolish thing in the Balkans will set it off."

When your friend provoked the conflict but the teachers blame it on you
Edit : thank you for 1000 likes 😘
And who is the teacher?
Germany dreamed of becoming a prosperous state
Colonial neighbours particularly Britain and France didn't like rise of their new neighbour : WW I started
The greedy France and UK Colonialists eyeing oil in iran they destroyed the ottoman empire and brought terrorism to the world
America as always for protecting its trade interest supported allies and became rich and hence powerful
People died because of greed.

@Divalvaro Germany has bigger economy than any of the Allies in Europe
but, isn't that with everything in life? Everytime you get told something you shouldn't do, you'd probably be like 'nah it'll be alright' but when something bad really happens, you learn from it and try to avoid it. You learn more from mistakes then you learn from getting told.
@Divalvaro Germany still has a strong economy today, and Germany managed to destroy the british and french colonial empires by weakening them to american and soviet influence. Germany today is the center of the EU and has created a sphere of peace and an age of utopia in Europe.
@Azshishchenkovy Andreyuskins military wise is it dumb to say who has the strongest army
It's more like who has the economy and Germany has a bigger economy then France Ore Britain means they can afford war better and longer so no Germany is stronger than France Ore Britain
However war would be unlikely fore several reasons
War is not cheap
It would cost way more than it would actually bring the winner
Second all off the just Listed Nations are part of an Military alliance
And an economic alliance
The story of Serbia in WW1 is very interesting and i encourage to learn about it (as a Serb)

We were the "huns and babykillers" and, the kaiser wanted colonies. That shoul be oonly. For the empaaaer....all that hate. Still going....look at the films......
Excellent resume, with the maps; I have always been confused about the European situation leading up to WWII.
Switzerland during 99% of wars in Europe: Did something happen?
Yeah, the Highfinance wanted at least one piece of earth not beeing destroyed.
switzerland getting richer and richer during the last two world wars. Keep it happening!
I imagine the Swiss people starting riots because of the “recent” Great War news right now!
@@HomoUniverzalis Smart. Like Denmark and Sweden and Norway and Spain and the Netherlands. Stay out of it. Let the Germans and the French fight it out again. Guess who will win?
have u ever tried Enchiladas suizas? they're not spicy or tasteless, they're neutral lol
A few things to note:
1. If History Matters is accurate, the Schillfen Plan was initially reversed at the start, this meant Germany was going to initially focus on Russia before going after France.
So why the total 180 where Germany focused on France before going after Russia?
The Russo/Japanese War of 1904-1905 which saw the Russian military get completely humiliated by Japan,after this Germany no longer saw Russia as an immediate concern/threat.
2. Why was Italy initially neutral?
As the Triple Alliance treaty was a defensive pact and Austria threw the 1st punch by declaring war on Serbia, Italy wasn't obligated under treaty obligations to help Austria.
In fact, Austria's 1908 annexation of Bosnia nearly caused Italy to leave the Triple Alliance.
3. Why did Germany help Austria even though Austria technically threw the 1st punch?
Because Germany was of the thinking that if their Austro-Hungarian allies were left to their own devices that Austria-Hungary would lose the war by 1917 at the latest.
3. The reason why the other powers of Europe objected to the Treaty Of San Stefano was the Bulgaria that was proposed.
This Bulgaria would've been a Russian puppet that would've given Russia access to the Mediterranean Sea.
For the other powers of Europe, it was a step too far:
1.The UK and France objected as Russia with access to the Mediterranean Sea would potentially make Russia a threat to the African colonies of the UK and France and possibly the Suez Canal.
2. Austria-Hungary objected because they felt the Treaty Of San Stefano gave Russia too much influence in the Balkans.
In my history class in the US we were taught that there were 5 main reasons for WW1: Alliances, Imperialism, Militarism, Nationalism, and Assassination. However even in my High School World History class they didn’t teach about the specific events that led to WW1. They didn’t teach about the collapse of the Holy Roman Empire or the German and Italian wars of Unification. I didn’t learn about the Russo-Turkish War (1877-1878) or the Balkan Wars which happened right before WW1. I’m not sure if they even told us why the Archduke was assassinated.
At the end of the war school focused mainly on Wilson’s 14 Points, the League of Nations, and the Treaty of Versailles. We didn’t learn about the German Civil War, Greco-Turkish War, or the Polish Soviet War. The only conflict after the war we learned about was the Russian Revolution. I didn’t realize how violent the aftermath of the war was. I guess they didn’t want to focus too much on things that weren’t relevant to the US.
In my Sophomore history class in HS, they only talked about WW1 for 2 days and it was mainly just about Zimmerman Tellegram and Franz Ferdinand lmao. We learned NOTHING else about WW1 or any other cause of WW1
Those were topics that were mainly explored in European History classes.
What a fantastic video! I know a bit about world war 2 but my knowledge isn’t extensive by any means. But I’m ashamed to admit that I knew absolutely nothing of world war 1 other than a few countries involved before this video and can’t believe the territories held by countries across Europe and what countries didn’t even exist in the no so distant past. So interesting, thank you :)

Fun fact: In Germany, Austria and other countries, there were so-called "war nailings" from 1915 to finance the war. In this process, a nail was hammered into a wooden object for a sum of money. In the end, these objects, which were full of nails, resulted in monuments.

This presentation just put alot of history teachers out of work.
This is the best explanation of the start of WW 1 I have ever seen or read!! You have done an amazing job. Thank you
Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire were bitter rivals for centuries before WW1. Both empires died in that conflict - fate loves irony.
As a shade-tree historian, I found this very enjoyable and informative 👍.
They didn't say anything about heroic Serbia and their defence. The fact is that Serbia is attacked from 10 time much populated Austro-hungary. Such a little nation which survived retreat across Albania mountains where all european countres wrote off Serbians. At the that time, all the allies was admired Serbia, how such a little nation survived and won in WWI. Serbia suffered the worst casualties, as a proportion of its population, of all nations in World War One. Out of a population of 4 million, Serbia lost 1.1 million people in the war, or 27% of its population and over 60% of its male population 265,000 Serbian soldiers died or 25% of all mobilised men
Good visuals and narration. Looking forward to seeing others
An excellent summary with great maps and descriptions. Love the narration :)

Really enjoyed this video. Getting ready to cover the Start of World War 1 on our channel, and this video was a quick cover of an entire century in Europe.
Not even lying, I spent about a month of school learning about WWI, and I legit have learned more in this video than that whole unit
schools want you to learn what they want you to learn and you cant learn what YOU want to learn. i hated school with the bullying teachers and students. i was always the outcast and loner and getting an insufficent education but that is ok as education is a pack of lies and i havent spoke to my fellow students since the final day of school and im very content in never seeing the likes of them again. goodbye to bad rubbish!
You have been learning falsehood
Major fact. At the end in the aftermath there was a huge war between newborn Poland and Soviets during which Poland defend own independence alongside with Baltic states. Without that the European map after IWW would had been quite different and soviet revolution would reach Germany immediately and the war would spread along Europe again, so this was quite significant.
as usual, a Pole should appear who should shit on the Soviets and blame them
There was also other fights on Russian territory where British and other western troops fought for the zarist side. This cooled down to become the cold war, with a less tense period before and during WW2.
You right, but "westerners" do not care. Polish-Soviet war of 1920 was "oriental" for them. But that war shows that Suvorov could have been right in "Icebreaker" book stating that Stalin planned to conquer whole Europe. And now 100 years later there is another Russian idiot who want to conquer one country by another with a slogan "Go west" - like that 30yo song. Good news is now "westerners" do not leave it as an "oriental" war and care more... so far. We'll see what happen.
Also in Ukraine.
DUDE!!!!!! ARE YOU STUPID?????? BRITISH FORCES NEVER PREPARED TO ENTER PALESTINE!!!!!!!! BECAUSE PALESTINE NEVER EXISTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE BRITISH MANDATE FOR PALESTINE IS NOTHING MORE THAN A MANDATE FROM THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS, WHICH WAS GIVEN TO THE BRITISH EMPIRE, UNDER THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS MANDATE SYSTEM!!!!!!!! THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A COUNTRY CALLED PALESTINE!!!!!!!! THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A NATION CALLED PALESTINE!!!!!!!!!! THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A KINGDOM CALLED PALESTINE!!!!!!!!! THERE HAS NEVER BEEN AN EMPIRE CALLED PALESTINE!!!!!!!!!!!! THERE HAS NEVER EVEN BEEN AN ETHNICITY CALLED PALESTINE / PALESTINIAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU ARE FACTUALLY WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE GEOGRAPHICAL AREA YOU ARE REFERENCING WAS FOR THE PAST 1,000 YEARS, REFERRED TO AS GREATER SYRIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ALSO, THE OTTOMANS HAD THE AREA UNDER 3 DIFFERENT NAMES "SIMILAR TO THE PROVINCE SYSTEM IN EUROPE!!!!!!!!! NONE OF WHICH MENTIONED THE WORD PALESTINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THE LAST TIME THE INHABITANTS, BEFORE THE MODERN ERA, REFERRED TO THE GEOGRAPHICAL AREAS AS PALESTINE, WAS LITERALLY 1,000 YEARS AGO, UNDER THE n WHO RULED AROUND 1,000 AD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D

All is fair in love and war!
This is gonna help with my WW1 map Thx!
Serbia won the first win for the allies against Austrohungary on the cer mountain.
And fun fact in Canada is a mountain called Putnik mountain named after Serbian WW1 general Radomir Putnik.
serbia just started that war and then they fled through albania and greece. the Serbs never won a single war. you are partly right about Mount Putnik ... because the Serbs traveled (fled) over that mountain.
@@joelsimunic7381 Look, my friend, the Serbs not only brought the first victories for the allies in the Great War (Mount Cer and the Kolubara River), but by breaking through the Thessaloniki Front, they initiated reconciliation on the Western Front. Now, I understand your frustration as a Croat (a nation that helped Hitler and the Nazis) Mount Putnik exists in Canada
@@crnidjordje8340 As early as August 1942, General Alexander Löhr, the Nazi protector of Serbia, proclaimed Serbia a "Judenfrei" ("Jewish-free" - a Nazi term for an area cleansed of Jews) and praised Serbs and Serbia for their help in ethnic cleansing. Nedic's Serbia imprisoned Jews and Roma in the following concentration camps:
Banjica Concentration Camp (near Belgrade)
Sajmište concentration camp (Zemun near Belgrade, then NDH, but under the direct administration of the Third Reich, occupation zone East Srijem)
Cannon sheds, near Belgrade
Veliki Beckerek, Zrenjanin
Red Cross (in Nis) (30,000, of which about 12,000 were shot, the rest were taken to other camps)
Dulag, (Sabac)
Svilara (Pancevo)
Paracin
The "final solution" of the Jewish question was carried out at the Fairgrounds with the arrival of a gas chamber-van from Germany. One of the first such vans was sent to Belgrade. As early as March and May 1942, every morning except Sundays and holidays, a van was loaded with Jewish children, women, and the elderly who were told to move them. Seemingly kind, and information can be found that children were even given sweets on board, just like Ratko Mladic, who treated Bosniak children in Srebrenica the same way.
In total, some estimate that as many as 80,000 people were killed in concentration camps throughout Nedic's Serbia from 1941 to 1944.
The Serbian propaganda machinery, which can be compared to the Nazi one in terms of success, is gaining momentum, as is the revisionism of the genocidal actions of Serbian governments in the Second World War, similar to the wars of the 1990s. Revisionism, which seeks to make Serbs the only victims, requires attention and honest disclosure. Serbia needs to experience catharsis. While other countries, including Croatia, have accepted that regimes and individuals have committed crimes and are not trying to revise them, the fact is that Serbian politicians still live in myths and legends.
@@joelsimunic7381 Complexes, complexes and only complexes, you said all that well, except for one thing, and that is that these people were set up by the Germans, right after April 4 when they bombed us and divided the country into 8 parts. Croats (Ustashas) and the German Gestapo. Let me tell you something else, pay attention to your camps and how many people you killed, women, children, grandparents, Gypsy Jews. If you were great opponents of Hitler, did you have someone who was in your captivity, or were they all killed in Bleiburg?

Excellent summary. Thank you
This video is amazing. Not only does it explain what happened in WWI in a nutshell, in doing so it reveals interesting things not many of us in the West ever really learned in school, like why the Serbians and the Armenians, who literally have very little culture or language connection to Russia, seem to share an affinity and alliance with them that endures 100 years later, long after the original reason of sharing a mutual enemy (Germany, and Turkey) began. Even the term "balkanization" comes from this. Such simple things lead to much more complex and grander things in the future. Without Russian aspirations and a without a weakening Ottoman Empire, the axis of Balkan politics might have centered on Austro-Hungarian conflicts with the Ottomans once again, and Ottoman expansion north of the Caucasus, "liberating" the Georgia, Astrakhan, etc. In an alternate 2022, the Serbs and Armenians may have shared their affinity to a more liberal Ottoman Empire who fought off Russian expansion and Austro-Hungarian aggression. Just one of many different alternate histories of course...
Serbs and Russians are connected a long time. Religion and ethnicity.
@@nemanjajovanovic8295 so you're saying Serb language and culture is more connected to Russian than, say, Slovakian or Polish? I don't think you're understanding what I'm saying. Serbians didn't have any *more* special connection to Russia than anybody else in Eastern Europe. Not until something specific occurred, it seems to me. My comment was that this video explains how that came to be, in that they simply shared a common enemy. That's where the *special* connection that makes them different from Croatia, Ukraine, Poland, etc. comes from. If you are telling me that Serbia has a special connection to Russia *before* 1900s, something totally different from Croatians, Poles, etc. I'm all ears. Because we do not see special relationships between Croats and Russians or Poles and Russians even though Polish is actually closer in language to Russian than Serb. We all know Russia came to Serbia's defense, but you're telling me they had a special relationship before the 1900s? I'm all ears...
@@jamesdeninojr.5041 as are many different eastern European groups. Again, listen to what I'm saying. I'm talking about the *special* relationship, unlike the Ukrainians, unlike the Poles, unlike many other Slavic groups with similar language and/or religion. This special connection appears to be *recent*, in the last 100-150 years, and it comes from their common enemy: the Turks and the various Germanies. Yes maybe Slovakians, Poles and Croats aren't Orthodox... but Bulgarians are, Georgians are, Romanians are. Similar languages shared in a few cases here too.
16:18 one big reason why the German people considered the treaty a humiliation, is because the treaty named "Germany and its allies" as the ones responsible for the war (and because of that wording Germany as primarily responsible) while the population counted the reason for joining the war as honouring its alliance to Austria-Hungary
"Germany" (Deutschland) did not exist back then. It was the "German Reich" (Deutsches Reich). There is a big difference.
@@andrewchesler2029 I am from Germany and I think you are the first person I meet who (besides form of government) doesn't consider it the same.
Edit: Grammar
@@kuhluhOG Hmmm why is that ? I mean they differ between the Austra-Hungarians and the Austrian/Hungarians like between the Ottomans and the Turks. The difference must be shown concerned to German history. I mean noone calls a Russian still a Soviet….
@@andrewchesler2029 You would be surprised for how many people Soviet Union = Russia...
Also, no, most people here don't make a difference between Turkey and the Ottoman Empire.
Also also, most people here also say Austria-Hungary = Austria. Yep, in a lot of people's minds it's the same in anything but name and the amount of different cultures they ruled (or, as some people said, oppressed).
In case you ask: I live in Southern Bavaria.
@@andrewchesler2029 Dude, you have no idea what you're talking. The national anthem mentions the name Germany several times. It was used by everyone back then and further before. This term dates back to the Ancient Roman times (Germania). If you are that nitpicky, then there's no Germany today because it's the "Federal Republic of Germany" which is a big diff... not.
Dude, I love your channel so much! You have no idea what a service you are doing to people who love history. Soldier on, brother!

fun fact: Bulgaria in ww1 or sooner, had a really huge army.
As big as the British army, as well as Portugal, Greece, and Italy COMBINED

Well done. A very clear synopsis. Can't wait to check out your other videos.
WW1 is a truly awful time in history but watching a video like this gives you a better understanding of what caused the war to the consequences of the war, good job man
Ja danke endlich....endlich etwas.....all that hate......wahnsinn.....oh these germans. We are great.....
i agree. was about to say that. i realised what i meant for france as the new german state was formed. russia who used to have good relations with prussia back then is slowly pushed away
@@johnmanning5568no? cant you tell? 1914-1918 is ww1, ww2 is from 1939-1945
Good basic "cliff notes" telling of WW1. Always valuable to remind people who ignored or disliked history (and geography) when in school so that past history is understood. Learning and understanding history is essential to understanding current events and hopefully not repeating the tragic past.
Obviously when you see these alliances and the WWI outcome, one understands how it set the stage for WWII unfortunately. You can also see how Europe, through colonialism, formed the powderkeg in the Arab Middle East, sowing the seeds of much hatred among the Persian/Arab population against Western influence, and Palestine/Israel.
The Balkans/Slavic areas have always been a powderkeg in turmoil with changing borders it seems due to ethnic nationalism.
Let us hope and pray that Russia's invasion into the Ukraine isn't the preamble to WWIII. Will mankind ever learn from its mistakes?
A minor miracle of precis and compression. Obviously, slightly over-compressed in places - no room for the decisive October Offensive that turned the tide of the war? - but what can you do, in under 20 minutes. Well played sirs, well played.
This is really well done, few youtube videos fit in all the various fronts of the war (including the less well kown ones like Macedonia and Mesoptamia), the timeline of various nations entering later in the war, the consequences and fallout of various decisions (Balfour Declaration and such) all within a short timeframe. Bravo!
I like how there is chill music in the background while talking about war 😂
Only found this recently after watching another small video on WW1. Although I thought this would be interesting, I like it even more than I expected. Steady narration, clear visuals and much more info on the leadup to that war. Really nice.

What blows my mind is in retrospect that the end of the war was only about 100 years ago...with how fast 1 year is going right now to me...Holy cow a lot has happened. We really need to learn from this. Theres so much to learn in history from the people before us!!
This was an excellent high level presentation of issues, facts and outcomes. Well done.
Nope, it was just a superficial exposure to people who know almost nothing about history.
@@DM-yi8ko Then create a better video. Otherwise STFU
@@crimson6397 what are you excited about? I haven't entered yet..😁
A haunting fact (at least to me) - Armistice of Compiègne (end of the war) was signed at 5:45am. However, they wanted to end the war on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, so the agreement came into effect at 11am. On the last day of the war, 2738 people died.
So due to some symbolism by the rulers in their comfortable and safe rooms, almost 3 thousand people died for absolutely nothing (granted, some maybe died before 5:45am).
In the beginning of the video, around 1:00, there is an error. After the Russo-Turkish war of 1877-1878 and the Berlin Treaty, San-Stefano Bulgaria's lands were divided into 3 parts. Firstly, the Principality of Bulgaria, which was rather independent with an independently functioning parliament (just the knyaz had to be approved of by the Ottomans and Bulgaria had to pay a yearly tribute). Secondly, Eastern Rumelia, which was more closely tied with the empire. The other lands of San-Stefano Bulgaria were indeed returned to the sultan.
PP: In 1885 Eastern Rumelia joined Bulgaria, which sparked the Serbo-Bulgarian war.
An excellent presentation. Thanks.
Easy to follow. Educative. Simplified maps that are just right and well paced and clear diction.
The editors have restrained themselves and reduced the background moosick to just acceptable.
So thankful to be apart of the generation that didn't have to go to war and got to play epic world of warcraft instead, I love the 2020 future!

I am from Montenegro and i live in small city on the north called Mojkovac, if you google 'Mojkovacka bitka' or battle of Mojkovac
You can find that here we (Montenegrians and Serbs combined) fought vs Austrohungarians, while they had 4:1 army advantage, we still won
Tho days later they send ships on our coast in towns Kotor and Herceg Novi which are close to our old capital Cetinje and then we surrendered because of too many enemy soldiers and no ammo supplies for our country...

Germany actually tried persuading Austria-Hungary to give Italy the territory it wanted in order to keep Italy from going to war against the Central Powers.
