I think that understanding the history of a country makes you understand more of their modern day culture. Yes, definitely do more of these!
Hi!👋 Personally I find this video on WW1 a lot more interesting and better made.

They also made a video on WW2 which I enjoyed watching
History
Hi Favour, I'm impressed that you're taking the effort to learn more historic stuff about Europe. This really is very valuable for understanding todays social and political dynamics and developments in Europe. (including Eurovision even) I believe this way you'll win over many viewers as real fans. It's great that you're not just assuming and judging, but start to question more, look up facts and try to comprehend things. Great stuff, loving it. -> Don't torture yourself though and react to more enjoyable content if you want. Greetings from Berlin.

World War One is honestly one of the most confusing wars to try and figure out, theirs a million and one reasons as to why it happened but I like to put it down to the M.A.I.N acronym (Militarism, Alliances, Imperialism and Nationalism) all things that the powers in Europe had in abundance. The British ultimately didn’t want Germany gaining too much power in Europe or Africa by gaining French colonies (which already split Britain’s African colonies in half). France wanted the region of Alsace-Lorraine back from Germany which the Germans took from them after the Franco-Prussian war of 1870-1871. Which was a source of resentment in France against Germany. And Germany wanted to weaken its rivals and gain “its place on the sun” as a great empire like all other European powers. It also feared being surrounded, strangled and starved of resources and wealth. (Their are many other reasons but this Is already long enough) so long story short no one nation should be blamed for World War One. This is just my opinion however.
Honestly the imperialism is the most important factor.
@@invidusspectator3920 I'd say Nationalism personally, I think that's what fuelled the other three factors
You are forgetting that many people on different sides wanted the war. I am talking about regular people that were unhappy with the situations in their countries. So they hoped that the war is leading to new systems, what it also did in Russia, Germany, Austria, Poland was existing again etc.
And until this war, no one really thought about how brutal war has become through technology and science.
When things started to escalate, the German Emperor actually tried to reach his cousin... Who happended to be Emperor of Russia (yeah) and make arrangements to contain all this to Serbia / Austria / the Balkans rather than engange in all out war all over Europe. He was known to change his mind often... So in the end you could argue Germany did not want the war afterall, but could not betray the oaths that bound Austria and Germany (Nibelungentreue).
This also shows after the war. Austria-Hungary was reduced from a global Superpower to just some of the German native lands (some nevertheless given to Italy despite without asking the locals in South Tyrolwhich even lead to terror attacks and still shows in elections) that formerly made up Austria-Hungary. What remained of Austria even wanted to reunite with Germany, but that was also denied by the Allies.
And let’s not forget they were also cousins with King George V of Great Britain.
Don’t forget that the people in many countries wanted the war, because of being unhappy with their system or society co.
No one expected such a brutal and long war, which was possible though science.
French did colonise, yes. Quebec in Canada, French Louisiana, much of north Africa and French Indochina and more.
Concerning your question on the German flag: The black-white-red flag you see here is the flag of the German Empire and was used between 1871 and 1922 as well between 1933 and 1945. The black-red-yellow flag that is used nowadays is the flag of German democracy, and thus represents the oposite of the imperial flag. Black-red-yellow was not only used by the 1848/49 Revoultion, but also by the Weimar Republic (1922-1933) and by post-WW2 Germany.
They sure made our French ancestors live miserably. Capitulated towards their compliance by imposing Tyranny rules all over our French soil.
10:19 "so they're like colonisers but french?"
me, an algerian, a country that endured 132 years of french colonisation : yes, yes they are
Same here from Syria brother👏
What this video fails to get across is that for hundreds of years these nations have had periodic wars with the last big ones being the Napoleonic wars. These earlier wars were perhaps romanticized and given that the leaders of the big countries Britain, Germany and Russia were actually cousins and played together as kids on the isle of whight. Given that Wilhelm had deformities its speculated that his cousins bullied him as some children do, which is probably where his desire to not loose to his cousins arose.
WW1 was unprecedented because of the railways. At the time many thought that it would be over by Christmas because they were basing their expectations on battles fought a hundred years earlier. No one in the run up to WW1 really appreciated the impact the railways would have. Trench warfare was only made possible due to the rapid logistic supply lines created by the railways.

lmaoo, that's the testosterone.
@@randomdude4207 lol
Archduke Frank Ferdinand of Serbia agrees.
@@drsnova7313 Oh god... smh
The fact is that every european nation at this time really wanted war. So it was not at all intended by anybody to avoid war. Therefore, it is problematic to blame one or two participants alone. And perhaps that's the lesson to be learned from WW1: rarely is there only one culprit for war.
And the historical joke is that the leaders of the nations all were related. The german emperor Wilhelm II. was a grandson of the british Queen Victoria. And Zar Alexander III. from Russia was a cousin of the german emperor.
The german flag by the way was black-white-red during the german empire. That is the reason why we today use another flag black-red-gold that is not historically encumbered. On the contrary: black-red-gold had been the flag of the democratic revolution in Germany in 1848.
It's kind of like Oversimplified said, military technology had come a really improved since the last major war situation, and all of a sudden, a lot of countries were pretty eager to beat each other up, further industrialize, and take over more stuff.
and Belgium? They were neutral and didnt want any war
@@leonbas3958 Let's say "oversimplkyfied". Switzerland and Luxembourg didn't want to get to war either. But I talked about the european powers.
5:55
There I'll have to disagree with the video.
He was used as a scapegoat by the entente after the war.
He certainly wasn't blameless.
But this war was just way more complicated then this.
You found out that there’s no good and bad sides. There’s no evil and legit countries. It’s all about money, power, survival. It’s been like that for centuries, it will be forever.
Everyone is to blame. Honestly it is probably better that way. In the end we all are neighbours and while some people sitll feel some sorta way about WWI and WWII towards outher nations, it is generally understood that the war happened not coz of 1 national, but coz of one human atrribute - GREED. Everyone wanted more wealth and territory and the Austrian-Hungarian x Serbian conflict was just the last drop everyone was waiting for.
Russia mobilized first but didn't use it first
The assassination of Franz Ferdinand was really sad. Franz himself was shot in the neck, whilst Sophie was shot in the stomach (IIRC), whilst he was bleeding from the gunshot wound in his neck Franz begged Sophie not to die, but to live for their children.
World War 1 leads in to World War 2 witch leads in to the Cold War, that also resulted in the Korea and Vietnam War. So almost all wars during the last century happened because of World War 1.
Well, you can also argue that WW1 is a result of the Franco-Prussian war which for some parts also came to be due to the napoleonic wars and so on. You can trace the big conflicts in europe back to Karl dem Großen / Charlemagne / Charles the Great. All the conflict between the french and germans (I am purposfully not using the nations here but the people) came from the split of the Frankish Empire (Frank not french, the franks were a germanic tribe from modern days Netherlands who conquered Gaul after the fall of Rome) into West Frankia (later France), East Frankia (later Germany) and Middle Frankia/Lotharingia/Lothringen. Middle Frankia was fought over by East and West Frankia and because of the diversity in the region it was always a hotbed for french/german wars.
Most know example would be Alsace-Lorraine/Elsass-Lothringen which switched rule by either french or german rulers a lot of times and what triggert the french revanchism after the Franco-Prussian War.
@@fusssel7178 Alsace et la Lorraine is ours.
Il est à nous.
Everything you said about our French origin. We have some German traits/influence due to the fact we Franco German used to be one Nation like you mention it under the Frankish Empire/Kingdom of Emperor Charlemagne 🇫🇷🇩🇪

Infographics isn't the best source of information tbh
You're sooo right...!
They called Italy a central power. Yikes
Bullteproof glas... 1914
"Russia doesn't have allies, except the biggest nation in the world, but that doesn't count"
And come on, supervillain? This is the real world, not some fantasy story.
Colonizers but French? France was one of the biggest colonizers, right there with the British, Spanish, and Dutch. They still have a lot of their colonial holdings today
7:06
Heir, not leader.
It was his father that ruled the country.
4:25
Regarding Northern Ireland...
You're aware that the catholics there where treated as second class citizens and wanted to cede from the UK and enter the Republic of Ireland, right?
12:17 during the time the European Great powers were all pretty Equally matched
Can't say the same about Canada and Mexico who are both much weaker than the US
this is incorrect, italy fought alongside the allies in ww1 not against them
What made it more personal was that the kaiser ,king George v , tsar nicholas 2nd were cousins
Interestingly, Kaiser Wilhelm, King George, and Tsar Nicholas were all related v IA Queen Victoria.
4:49 thats just sexism lmao.

You sometimes say really weird stuff like:"It hurts more when a woman dies of violence."
4:07 who is gonna tell her that no one liked living in austria hungary at the time
Wilhelm II is a funny character. In reality he was an overcompensating fool with extreme insecurity and a desparation for popularity, he literally changed his mind daily based on what he thought would make him more popular. British propaganda during WWI however created this myth of a comically evil maniac so effective, that the idea is still present among armchair historians.
Unfortunately, one does not exclude the other. He was an asshole by all accounts, probably exactly because of his insecurities which his mother had imprinted on him since he was young. Often miserable people live for making others more miserable than they are. Not even his other monarch cousins liked him.
@@vanyadolly You make it sound like being not liked by other useless inbred monarchs is a bad thing.
I also recommend the following movie alll quiet on the Western Front
To connect the actions of Austria-Hungary and the assassination of the Duke to something more recent, the US openly invaded Afghanistan after 9/11, where they mad yes, did they also want the oil yes so with 9/11 they had cause to invade as so did. Same with Austria-Hungary, the Serbians killed the duke, and they have an excuse to invade. This is why you had more than one son so that if one died and gave you an excuse to start a war you still had a spare.
@@Maria-js9ou well I should've written it gave them an excuse to declare the war on Terror which gave the presidents the power to declare war on any Muslim, or none Muslim country even if I think that would be harder in the middleast as the requirement for invading or involving troops is whatever the president considers a possible threat which is an opinion and doesn't have to be true. The invasion of Iraq followed a year after 9/11.
@@Maria-js9ou Nope! But other rare materials...
There had been another heir for Austria, but he killed himself - see Mayerling.
you should definitely dive in more world war 1 or 2 topics,from europe aswel as from the pacific perhaps.
And the reason the USA and Canada and Mexico are not threats to eachother is because they were all results of European Colonialism, with no concrete culture, as Mexico, Canada and the US especially are multi-cultural, whereas in Europe all our nations HAVE concrete cultures dating back 1000s of years ago and we have been fighting eachother for 1000s of years and growing
But still the US invaded Canada 1812 (but failed) and fight against Mexico (1846-1848) to grab former mexican California, Nevada, ... and started with the US annexion of Texas.
That wasn't true in the past with the USA going to war with Canada in 1812 and of course the USA taking territory from Mexico.
A more detailed video about the rise of the Nazis in Germany would be great too !
7:52
No, this video is very biased so far.
Edit:
Actually it's just very sensationalist, completely failing to catch the nuances.
Italy didn’t fight with Germany in WWI
Yeah but it was in a alliance with germany and austro hungary before the war. They kinda backstabbed this and joined the other side.
@@nellam8 that alliance was a defensive pact
They did. In late 1917 germany helped the austrians and broke the Italian lines.
Who do you think is most responsible for WW1? 🤔
I'm not an expert on this topic so please take my comment just as an opinion that was formed after reading Books on this topic. There are many books out there with different viewpoints so opinions on this matter will widely differ among the community I think.
1st) The "Emperor Wilhelm was evil and Germany wanted War at all costs" is a quite english sided and old fashioned view coming from the anti-german sentiment after 2 WWs. You can find this claim in many old english History Books. Many modern Historians on the contrary, with more modern and neutral stands on this topic and other sources than those that were avaiable 40/ 50 years ago, question this nowadays. One Historian even claims that Germany actually didn't wanted that War as they found old letters that were sent from Berlin to Vienna where Berlin asked Vienna to reconsider their plans (Declaration of War). Another point is that Wilhelm was actually quite close with the russian Tsar. And saying that Germany didn't want other Countries to be more powerful than itself is a bit odd as the same goes for all the other major european powers at that time. France and - especially - England were in no way any better - maybe even worse as the now unified Germany was seen as a thread.
My Opinion on this question is that it's not as easy as in Hollywood Movies. There is no deep Black and radiant White (and certainly no "Evil Emperor" behind the scenes) but a lot of Leaders with different motivations and stupid decisions in a time that was already quite tense.
I would say each great European power(UK,France,Germany,Austria-Hungary and Russia).
The Entente-Cordiale was a friendly pact between Great Britain, France and Russia but unlike the latter two didn`t obligate Britain to join the war. Belgium was a country created by the British after the Napoleonic Wars from the Netherland states. It acted as a neutral buffer between warring states so as to deter one power from dominating Europe in the future as Napoleon had done. Great Britain insisted to Germany that Belgium`s neutrality must be maintained knowing full well it probably wouldn`t be. It was the quickest route for Germany to march on Paris and once they entered Belgium Britain declared war.
Controversial answer is Queen Victoria
Rothchild
Your putting 21st century sensibilities on early 20th century facts, the king and queen grew up in the late 19th century when they expected to be treated like gods by the peasantry.
after ww1 when germany became a republic they changed their flag to include yellow
I mean, America did try to invade Canada so ;) At this time, pretty much everyone wanted an empire- it was the age of imperialism for all major nations
Plz search what Germany, Russia and Austrio-Hungary did to Poland 100 years befor WW1
All sides were pulling strings because they all had large competing empires
Terence McKenna called that the "male ego"
You should do the Balkan wars
franz ferdinand was the austrian prince
I recommend the following film for the second world war from the perspective of the Germans, it wasn't all Nazis in the Wehrmacht
czcams.com/video/VnJJQxZ0hu8/video.html
The narrator mentioned America early on as one of the countries at war. However, there was no mention of Canada being involved and I've got to say that, without Canada joining in, I would not be here. Briefly, my grandad was born in South Africa, emigrated to America and joined the Army there ,then he and his mate went to Canada and settled. WW1 started and grandfather joined the 1st Canadian Infantry, shipped to Europe, injured by shrapnel at Ypres and transferred to a war hospital in England where he met a nurse who he married - and here I am. So why no mention of Canada?
That's easy... All these troops, were Empire troops and counted with the British...
the ww1 video is extremly one sided lol
did you just say imperialists BUT french? france was one of the leaders of imperialism.. only beaten out by britain..
I just watched this women figure out why men get aggressively obsessed over war😂

Serbia was the catalyst but every country, especially the ones in Europe, had some blame in the war.
belgium didnt have any
No, Austria didn’t want more land - the serbian black hand was killing a lot of people from the other slavic states too - they always wanted more power and dreamed from a Great Serbia - see the war in Jugoslavia - one of the most horrible wars.
The empire of Austria still lived to that time and was about 90 years old - he never wanted to get into war but he was too old and weak.
The people around him wanted to take down Serbia because they always make troubles in this region. And russia was waiting to get power all over the balkan and more - Sovjet Union - Serbia surely didn’t want this but shit happed.
The Russian, German and British were Cousins and Wilhelm II hated his british cousin - Queen Victoria their grandmother was always angry about them. There were emotional reasons too.
For Austria it was too late to make right decisions - the son of the emperor killed himself, his wife Elisabeth was assassinated and the nephew Ferdinant and his wife too - the leaders of the „Hofkanzlei“ government were old and not very clever and arrogant.
The Austrians made a lot of fails - but they had always a motto: Tu felix Austria nube - means others may make war but you happy Austria marry. They always tried to get land over marriage.

Na mein lieber Schwarze hand hin oder her.Wer hat den Habsburgern erlaubt Bosnien zu annektieren.Nur weil Serbien und Bosnien schwach waren nach der Osmanischen unterdrückung heisst das noch lange nicht das sie das recht dazu hatten sich das Land zu greifen.Die Schwarze Hand mag ja die Waffen geliefert haben,oder auch die Attentäter ausgebildet haben.Aber es sind alles Bosnisch stämmige Studenten,Serben, Kroaten und Muslime.Also sollte auch ihnen klar sein das es gehen denn Besatzer ging,und nicht um eine Vergrösserung Serbisher Gebiete.
same hapening now . all ship wepons to ukrain but did nothing to prevent the fights.Hiden motives aggain.
Fall of roman empire is the real reason
How if you for example have family in a village 100 miles from your home beaing attacked? Guess it might change your views.
well one is that women couldnt go into power most of the time soo
"You need bulletproof glass", IN 1914 LOL
You don't know anything. Regards from glorious Serbia!
Serbians wanted freedom from Austria-Hungary, that's why the duke was assassinated
Yes,but Bosnia too.After the fall of Ottoman empire Bosnia was aneccted by the AustoHungerian empire.Didnt we have the right to finally live free on our soil?
It was a huge own goal, though, since Franz would have been the most likely one to give it them had he taken the throne.
ww1 broke out because of an accumulation of tensions throughout Europe, however, by no means one could blame it on France, as germany literally invaded them with 5 millions soldiers
