U should react to more world wars/wars in general some really interesting stuff
416000 Australian soldiers enlisted from a population of a little of a million. 60 000 were killed with 3 out of every 5 men being wounded at least once during the war. We had one of the bigger casualtie rates during the war as a average it was over 65%.
To this day it has left quite a mark on our nation.
The constant assumption that Britain = Good, Germany = Bad is one of my biggest historical pet peeves.
Did the Germans and Austrians commit atrocities in this war? Yes, but so did nearly every warring power, the massacres of German civilians by the Russian army in Eastern Prussia and the British blockade that lead to thousands of German civilians starving comes to mind.
And yes while Germany did bomb London first via Zeppelin then by bomber the British soon retaliated with their own strikes against German cities, whoever did the most damage is debatable.
Yes it is very annoying
Britain dropped twice as many bombs on Germany than Germany on britain
yeah the 1st WW was a freaking mess, nobody was really aware why they were fighting for, what a waste
Don't ask the Turks what happened to the armienians inside their country xD
@@andrews.5212 But that was the Ottoman Empire, Turkey don't know what you talking about, maaan!
About "small" Austria-Hungary: Austria-Hungary was geographically the second-largest country in Europe after the Russian Empire, at 621,538 km2 (239,977 sq mi) and the third-most populous (about 52,8 m in 1914 - after Russia and the German Empire). And in 1914 it had been 938 years since first named in a document!
For real Austria- Hungary was huge
Well...China was massive too, and still not too important. It´s mostly about industrial production, and apart from Bohemia, industrial production in Austria-Hungary was NOT great.
it was a big empire where you did well only if you were Austrian or Hungarian, otherwise the majority of the population was of other nationalities with 0 rights.
@@leoh3616 Ja. China war aber auch nicht der Mittelpunkt der Industrie, hm?
@@florianlasser2779 Austria---Hungary? What's the score?
4:07
You're making a assumption when you think that the allies where automatically the "good guys"...
WW1 is more complicated.
2:50 "Let me know how you feel about that."
You may want to check your understanding of history before making statements like that.
I know that the image of the "historic" Germany for a lot of U.S. Americans is still shaped by the Nazi era, and here especially in the hindsight of the Holocaust.
I know - and have directly experienced - that there are some Americans - even intelligent and educated in their field ones - who seriously think that World War One was fought against the Nazis.
But that image is wrong. The Imperial Germany of the late 19th and early 20th century wasn't that much different from any other European nation... and even the USA.
Sure... it was a more autocratic system than the United Kingdom... but not as much as Tsarist Russia.
Sure, it was a monarchy, unlike France or the United States... but so was Italy.
Sure, it was a very militarized society, but massive military build-ups did happen all over the world... in the UK, in France, in Russia... and in the USA.
Sure, there were nationalistic and racial discriminatory tendencies in society. But so there were in all of the "good side" nations.
And when you take a look at the map of the world of that time... it wasn't Germany that controlled - and subjugated and exploited - the most part of the world. Even the USA dabbled in colonialism - and not the most benign version - at that time.
This is not meant as a defense of Imperial Germany... in general or specifically regarding WW1. But they weren't solely responsible for the war... that was something that the victorious Entente powers decreed... and they weren't a stereotypical "bad side".
Fun fact: Soldiers are also people, many of them didn’t volunteer and did not want to fight but had no choice (those who refused were convicted of cowardice which was punished by execution) so the difference between soldiers and civilians is that civilians were not forced to be on the front or in the trenches, they were living their lives as you said.
3:33 I wouldn't say that Austria Hungary didn't have an Impact on European politics
there wasn't really a "good" guy in WW1, the same goes for most major events in history
i would say that the agressor is worse than the defender. In this case the agressors were the Central Powers
@@leonbas3958so Russia was Defending themselves from Austria Hungary which Went to war with serbia by mobilising And stationing troops to the Austro hungarian And German Border
Did you just call Austria-Hungary a small country? Back then it was bigger than Germany the Family had influence in nearly every kingdom/empire everywhere in the world. Girl even now Austria is important as fuck for the UN cause it’s neutral
Ferdinand von Zeppelin invented the zeppelin wasn't actually intended for the war, at that time it was the largest flying object in the sky, transporting passengers around the world. It was actually the flying Titanic at the time. It was common at the time for inventors to give their inventions their own names.
Like Bunsen, Diesel etc
The start of WWI is an excellent example of 'history consists all those things that could not be avoided'.
Alliances intended to prevent war meant no-one could stay out once the dominoes started to topple.
This vid shows why it's considered to be the first 'World' war.
- though the fighting with Napoleon involved all the continents and ships across the world's oceans.
On that hand one might also could count the 7 years war in the potential candidates
3:30 Back then Austria was one of the most powerful empires in Europe and territorial-wise 8 times larger than it is today.
8:37 Yes, Australia was part of the British empire until 1931. So the Australians were involved too.
14:10 The rigid airships were named after German count Ferdinand von Zeppelin. The album cover of "Led Zeppelin" shows the disaster of the the zeppelin Hindenburg from 1937. The image refers to the origin of the band's name itself: When Page, Beck and The Who's Keith Moon and John Entwistle were discussing the idea of forming a group, Moon joked, "It would probably go over like a lead balloon", and Entwistle reportedly replied, "a lead zeppelin!"
*austro-hungary empire
not austria :)
@@adaada7318 Correct, of course!
Why do you question fact #27? During the First World War, letter writing was the main form of communication between soldiers and their loved ones, helping to ease the pain of separation. The British Army Postal Service delivered around 2 billion letters during the war.
I'm also disapointed you didn't finish the video.... missing many more facts.. and why we wear a red poppy, have two minutes of silence on the 11th hour of the 11th month every year in remembrance. and the story of "Silent Night" the 1914 Christmas truce, the unofficial ceasefires on christmas day which lead to allied and enemy soldiers playing football.
Please react to 'The fallen of ww2'
Russia didn’t push to have the war happen at all what are you talking about😂
Serbia would obviously have fewer soldiers lost than countries like Russia or Germany. Their population was far smaller than many other nations in the war. They held out against more powerful nations for far longer than they should have been able to and suffered terribly because of it. As a percentage of the population killed, I don't think any other nation lost more than Serbia.
Lost 30% of its population (biggest percentage in both World wars) and 60% of male population.

The Zeppelin got his name from Ferdinand Earl in german "Graf" von Zeppelin. he was the inventor of the airship!
As a Nurse you should react to "Florence Nightingale - The Lady with the Lamp"
and how she change war hospitals and the job of a nurse
I think neutrality is, practically, difficult to maintain in its entirety; "neutral" as in not being involved in any way but this is not quite the case realistically. Switzerland was neutral in WW2, but it did offer refuge to the displaced and persecuted during said conflict. This is the case in many other "neutral" countries throughout history in many conflicts. A country can be neutral and still do good in times of hardship in war besides sending troops and such. Some countries might not have been able to do so in the first place. In fact, in times of war, neutral countries provide safe havens for refugees and can be seen as necessary in a wartime environment. Please don't judge such nations too harshly.
My great grand father fought on WWI for Portugal
WW1 is considered number 6 of the most deadliest wars. WW2 is number 1. And eight of the ten deadliest wars are chinese wars.
america was this time not realy an worldpower
21:54
It depends on if you look at total casualties or casualties as a percentage of the world population.
There's been wars in the past that has killed a far greater percentage of the people alive then the world wars.
But more people where alive during the world wars.
the USA had so few casulties cause they joined in 1917 (end of the war 1918), close to no equipments, had to be trained and equiped by the french and even that, they were put on the second line mainly, instructors found them not fierce/ready enough for frontlines they relieved allied forces on secondary frontlines; in 1939, the USA had the 17th army strength only, they would have been wiped out by germany like denmark or belgium was.
14:11 when the band was starting someone told them that they were going to crash like a led zeppelin, so they decided to name their band that.
Russia didnt help push the war, The war started because of the death of Franz Fredinand in Bosnia, And Austria, the ottoman empire where empires.
Please react to "the fallen of world war 2 "
Africa is a counitinant not a country do say africa is involed when africa is different across the board
You should react to the Vietnam war
We swiss have a population around 5-6mil people in our country at that time. Yeah sure we fight with that against who.
France Austria Germany Russia wanted to have Switzerland as a buffer state after the napoleon wars. Plus we are neutral since the battle of marignano 1515. The problem is more that some people dont respect thous who want to be neutral
Being neutral is important you are not bad if you don’t fight in a war it’s actually a strong thing not to go to war
Choosing a side in someone else's war means dooming your own people to suffering for other people's ideals. Neutrality is the smartest choice, provided there is no threat to your own country.
Please react to all parts of "WW1 Epic History" pleaseee
look into the medical developments because of war some of the ambulance technics were developed from battlefield medicine; have I been watching too many air ambulance programs on youtube
think of the 30 year war in europe or even the 100 year war in europe. so there died more peaple for sure
Gotta keep in mind that the population was way lower back then and the war was less symetric, to give you an idea, the total death of ww1 is estimated to about 68 million, 30 years war about 7 million
In the 30 Years War, a third of the German Population was killed.
The 30 years war saw a significant amount of deaths in the Holy Roman Empire, but one the larger scales it is wars in China, Mongol invasion, WW2 that are in the top with at least 4 of the top 10 happening in China. China has just always had a huge population
Next clip to view. " The Fallen of WW2".
there is a well made video about the casualties of WW2, called: "The Fallen of World War II" by the channel Neil Halloran.
This is such a supper good video.. If i were a teacher i wold definitely show it to the kids.
You might find kurzgesagt "how the immune system works" interesting
Australia is part of the British empire so if England is in a war so will all the member states of that empire Canada Australia even India at one point
It always starts with making people kneel.
Terrible losses in Europe in ww1and now
Again is there war in Europe, its very sad
Basicly it started BC a Serbien man Had a Gamer Moment
Most places ur gunna want to travel to have good health care systems. Most places that are going to need Healthcare aid are gunna be rough. Not to say they won't be beautiful or have sights u want to see.
Check out "The Fallen of World War II"

Congratulations! 👏
My country was also neutral in WW 1, The Netherlands.
My Grandmother lived in Folkstone during WW1. She was talking to a friend in the street when a zeppelin went over, dropping bombs. One fell close by, my Grandmother was thrown to the ground by the blast, her friend was killed
I'm so fed up by all those "historical" videos and movies who simply ignore french soldiers, as if they just were'nt there. Only brits and Commonwealth.
wait, 13 million german soldiers were mobilised. that sounds plausible.
but 8.7 million dead?
They mixed up injured and killed.
and why do they consolidate the dead and injured in other nations, and others have only killed.
the german killed would also be closer to 2 million
the french to 1.7 million
British to 1 million
russion to 1.7
those numbers seem inaccurate and weirdly counted.
soon they had enlistment so no volunteers plus those noncombatants who were killed
war is the best inventor.
You should start to react to the Geography Now! videos... For example, you can start with *Geography Now! Turkey 🇹🇷* reaction 🖤
or czechia
Or india
Princip was only like the match which started the fire. There was so much tension in Europe already and this action was only the excuse for the start of the war. If he wouldn't to it, somebody else would do something else and the war would've started anyway....that't of course only a theory and in history there's no would've, but most likely it would've started anyway, at some point.
I'm right with you. The Sarajevo bombing was just the spark that ignited the war. Root causes are more complicated than that. The colonial rivalry and the desire of the Germans to catch up with the English and the French, the balkans were a powder keg under the tutelage of a declining ottoman empire, the French wanted their revenge of 1871 and recovers Alsace and Lorraine. All these reasons led to a rearmament initiated at the beginning of the 20th century by the German Empire, followed by other European countries.
Can you react on story from Kruzgat animation, The story of Egg ?
What videos do you like the most on this channel? 🤔💬
Hi Mina! Good idea about checking out other cultures outside Europe! And I used to post 3 videos a day which helped me stay up to date on content/ what my audience wanted. I am in a transitional period in life right now as I begin my career in nursing. Once I get a better feel for my daily schedule and am less overwhelmed I will definitely post more videos in "real time" because I agree, we have barely scratched the surface with my classical content.

Maybe we will see you react to them in the future?
Some groups didn’t pick a side but still fought in ww2. The polish home army fought against the Nazis and Soviets on the eastern front, hoping the western allies would help them and they never did.
pretty much every country that got invaded right (belgians, dutch, danish, greeks...)
Nope, you don't have to pik a side if it is going to destroy your country. That is how Turkey survived WW2
You like the think America is the king of the world
There are no right side in war
Bruh world war 1 was basically a family argument 🤣🤣🤣 the main countries involved and impacted the war the most their leaders were all cousin by blood and grew up together lmao
People need to remember that the British empire once ruled 1/3 of the world
You can remain neutral only if you have a strong army and if you fulfill certain policies.
I woud recomend you check out Father from the Channel Sabaton History. Its about probobly the most important German inventor of all time who was about and relivent in this time.
The video forgot to include that New Zealand sent over a 100,000 men to fight in WW1. 18,000 of those were killed during the war.
By 1914, New Zealand had a only little over One Million people in its total population.
Imagine sending 10% percent of your total population to fight in a war?
Great Reaction, Favour!
As a man today I will say we've come leaps & bounds in respect towards "weak men" we now understand an emotional man isn't a weak man rather someone who needs a hand. Where we haven't made progress is accepting that completely while we know it we're not necessarily as forgiving & it's a double edged sword. We see the times we are in now, the men we've started to produce will not do well in hard times when they reach the USA, while the rest of the world is working towards more masculine men we're working towards more feminine men or at least accepting them, which I agree we should accept people as they are. We're in a pivotal point in our country & it will be interesting to see where we go. Not the topic of the video or really the argument you were making but just something I thought I'd comment on.
I still stand by saying men must not be weak, men must not cry
The US has only 1.3 million active military personnel and our population is much higher now. Those levels of mobilized military men are insane. The full force of empires and populations were behind this and ww2. It's something I hope we never have to experience again.
On of these big wars was the,, 30 years war,, in Europe in 1650-1700.....Try the movie,, all quiet on the Western Front,,... Show the ließ and horror of War.... Every war(now we got a New one here in Europe 🇺🇦
30 years war was 1618-1648

Turks not count :/
Gavrilo Princip was a freedom fighter, because in the Balkans until 1918, the Austro-Hungarian Germans allowed slavery over the Orthodox population. The English imperialist world does not see the suffering of other nations if it is not in the interests of the Anglo-fascist regimes. Similar to the Baltic countries, where a third of the population was stripped of their citizenship because they are Russians, and the liberation struggle of the Russians who live in Ukraine, they see as it is in their imperialist interests. Because for centuries they did not have to democratize the media and their regimes, which still, as for centuries, aim to Anglicanize the whole world, regardless of the suffering of other nations. In America, a century ago, the Slavic peoples wanted to establish their own party, but the Anglo-fascist regime began to persecute them with the police, with a corrupt judiciary and bribes, so that they abandon their party and join two English parties, which two bypass everything necessary for democracy worked. The best defense in the English countries is that they constantly emphasize democracy, divert attention so that people don't rebel, because they can't silence everyone by force like they did the Slavic party.
