Yes. Because most of school teachers teach of out of necesity, not out of passion, so they do not do it well enough. They have the talent to say things in such a way that it sounds chinese. We didn't even have real maps in our class, how could anyone understand the movement of troops and so on without visualising it..?
@Gangsta Macc Yeah the International Bankers just control the money that everybody who fights these wars gets paid with and somehow as a result of this war Britain takes land from the Ottomans to the Rothschilds to create the state of Israel.
What I really liked about this video was how you really spoke about it as a WORLD war. Too often I feel as though general summaries of the world wars oversimplify it to the point where they only talk about the european countries involved. It really did involve and affect a huge percentage of the world and I appreciate how you at least BROUGHT UP the african combatants.
Britain to the Arabs: I'd offer you Palestine, except I offered that to the Zionists, but probably we'll just take it. You want Syria maybe? Oh wait, I agreed to give that to the French along with Lebanon. I would offer you part of Turkey, but hmmm, checking my cheat sheet, yes, that got promised to, Greece and Italy (really? I guess I did say that). I could give you a little piece of toasted sand just east of the Jordan River, but you have to be nice to the Europeanized twits I send you to govern it. You can claim Mesopotamia, but really, we all know I will be getting the oil. OK? We done here? I have a tea date with Francois. . .
Waleed Ahmed Italy signed a defensive pact with Austria-Hungary and Germany. The two countries decided to declare war upon the entrante without consulting Italy thus breaking their alliance. Italy wasn’t forced to follow The central powers in a war against the rest of the world. read a history book.
KB65 YT Yes, Italy could have chosen to follow the central powers anyway but it would have been a ridiculous choice. why would they follow countries who didn’t even bother to inform them about a war they were going to fight? not to mention, the entante was stronger and Britain and France promised Italy territories of AH with the pact of London. i don’t get how people are like “ThEy SwItChEd sIdEs” if we talk about WW2 then sure...
the triple entente was an alliance that had a very clear agreement regarding the balkans, in fact both austria and italy had interests in the balkans and the pact obliged the country that started a war in the balkans to have the consent of the other allies ... when Austria declared war on Serbia it asked Germany, but not Italy... Italy considered this not only a violation of the pact that freed Italy from all obligations, but also a reason for resentment in comparisons with them! therefore Italy not only changed sides with a valid reason... but also had valid reasons to later go to war against Austria!
@Eculs that is, because back in 1830 the british guaranteed belgian independence which means the british help the belgians when someone declares war on them
@Eculs The Imperial German Navy at that time had grown from a small coastal force to a power big enough to challenge Britain for dominance in the world's oceans. Regardless of what it said officially, Germany was a threat to the security of the British Empire.
Hoping they would make a fiction movie about WORLD WAR 3. The story was going to be pure fictional who started the war which countries are fighting before the others joined and then the consequences after the events xd
My great grandma has survived the *Edit:* second world war in the Philippines. She is still here today, waiting for her birthday to come on August 15 turning to 93 years old.
I believe that if the war crossed over into Switzerland that the Swiss would have had no choice but to get involved. Switzerland was very lucky. The Axis powers had no intention of respecting Belgium or Luxembourg that said they would remain neutral, and I believe that they would have gone into Switzerland if it meant easier access to France. Switzerland participated in helping wounded World War I soldiers. I believe they helped both sides with this. And I think that the Swiss would have jumped into the ranks of the allies had the Axis powers invaded... which I believe was going to happen at one point?
Also, there was no "alliance" with Belgium. Britain just used it as an excuse to join the war to fight the emerging naval power that was the German Empire. Read Britain at Bay, even the first few chapters are enlightening.
I'm glad you explained the very beginnings 43 years prior to the start of the great war. It's always been my belief that a war comprising of the 3 great empires (UK, Fra & Russia) against Germany would have taken place anyway sooner or later whether the Heir was assassinated or not. Germany was the new upstart threatening the supremacy of the existing superpowers and empire builders.
Not as good as someone who don't know anything would say. Dude didn't say anything about how Serbia created great Yugoslavia country out of Austria Hungary empire and tripled it's size. Nothing about southern front which determent the war. He literally said nothing about it except that Bulgaria attacked Serbs from back and that caused Serbs retreat. By his explanation you can understand that Austria Hungary declared war on Serbs and then fought France 🤣 video is dumb as any short explanation of anything on TH-cam.
Only after watching so many WW2 and WW1 related movies on Netflix that I got fed up and was like man I need to have a crash course on these wars before I can enjoy these movies !!
I already know most about the First World War in relation to the Western Front. I do know the tragedy of the Eastern Front (The Austro-Hungarian army decimated Serbia, I think their actions were considered war crimes when you considered the amount of civilians they murdered). If you are interested in picking up any non-fiction books about the First World War, I can definitely recommend some. :)
This dude sounds like the french guy who always says 3hours later in spongebob edit: damn if this gets to 200 likes, I'll sub to everyone who comments me
Dang I wish my teacher would send us to accurate and understandable sources like these. You'd think the history teacher who gets to write his own course wouldn't have us use sources as old as the NC health and PE curriculum but here we are.
I am from Moldova, my Grandpa told us, that when he was on first line of battle on W.W. 1 and meet face to face with a soldier opponent, and raise the sword to kill him; that man said: "Brother, do not kill me, because my wife and my children are waiting for me at house." When he heard that, the sword fell down from his hand. When he was returning home, he was living in a village and a she dog with two puppies big as her, meet him at the border of village territory. She was very happy and welcomed him as good as she could, but the puppies did not knew him because they were born after he went to war. So, they were barking at him and were angry with him, but their mum the she dog stopped them and bite them. When Grandpa saw that even a dog was waiting for his master, and is so happy when he returned, his eyes were in tears, because many which were waited of their lovers will never return.
You missed so many things. The war didn't start on the Western front, it started with an Austro-Hungarian attack on Serbia, if you are going to talk about the Schlieffen Plan, then before that talk about the first Allied victory of the war (Battle of mountain Cer). Then when you talk about German collapse, it didn't happen on the Western front, it happens after the breakthrough of the Salonica Front (Thessaloniki), de facto destroying Bulgarian and Austro-Hungarian armies capacities, prompting Germany to negotiate an armistice!

I'm sorry but how could you forget Gallipoli while preparing the video? It is not even mentioned that entente countries couldn't invade Istanbul during the war and that's why they couldn't send supply to the Tsardom of Russia which resulted with the success of communist revolt in Russia. Gallipoli is a very essential part of WWI where more than 500k people died.
Gallipoli was a mistake Turkey was not a significant threat and attempting to invade the Dardenells was more a stupid act of frustration at the lack of progress on the western front , The man responsible resigned as head of the Navy in the next war he was Prime minster and repeated the mistake by invading sourthern Italy !
@@5888max Yeah man Turkey was totally not a threat. Imagine Baghdad and the Persian Gulf in the hands of Germany. (Turkey had oil back then..) Now they're not a threat to anyone except themselves..
You missed quite a lot what about the battle of Gallipoli ? Whats about greece?the ottoman empire and so on its a good video vut you dont mention all the important things only the most popular
i'm not the one who made this plus the person who made it probably cant dedicate all his time to making these videos, his channel is currently not profitable enough that he could spend all his time making these videos without having to worry about work or other things thats my guess
@@nogussy firstly you are the one defending it and secondly there are a lot of other smaller history channels with videos that are way better researched than this one dont get me wrong but when you make a historical video you have to do it right otherwise its not historical the creator here claims he has created a detailed summary of the 1st world war but this is simply wrong
these smaller channels probably dedicate more time and he didnt say anything wrong, he just didnt mention the stuff you said all his videos are similar length and he can't fit all this in an 8 minute video, he'd focus on major stuff that affected the war, the ottoman empire sure did have affect on the war but it wasn't that much
5:44 Soldier 1: ey who brought some food ere? Soldier 2: idk man i thought they were at the camps or something? Soldier 3: wait aren't we in the trenches? Soldier 1: is it just me or do i smell mustard? Soldier 2&3: ah sh-
Keshav Rathnam Thankyou for your people’s efforts. The empire was only as strong as its subjects and what strength British India had. The British are eternally grateful
You completely missed Romania: entered the war alongside Entente in 1916 and fought against Austria Hungary, Germany and Bulgaria concomitantly. Kept fighting and stopped the Central Powers offensive even though 80% of its teritory was occupied. Then the Russian sgned the Brest Litovsk armistice and the whole Eastern front broke on the Romanians' heads...Only the Serbs had more casualties / capita in WWI.
Solaxe S Oh look, another chauvinist that hates Serbs has issues with a person explaining that a video that deals with WWI doesn't mention an INTEGRAL part of it.
He and his wife were sent to sarajevo to provote serbian people in bosnia and bosnians,then there were two assasinations, first failed, grenade bounced off car window and explode in public, later, car driver didn't know that trajectory was changed because of gavrilo princip and his band so he stopped on the road, gavrilo pricnip's band had gone to breakfast but gavrilo princip stayed there, took revolver and killed franz ferdinand, then austria sent ultimatum to serbia and declared war.
Ottoman Empire was the only power in the one in the Central Powers that didn’t accept the consequence what the allies imposed them. That was the reason of the Turkish War of independence. Had Treaty of Serves went through, Turkey would have been a fraction of it’s modern day size.
8:26 those aren't exactly the Polish boarders per say; Poland was involved in series of wars right after WW1 that defined the post WW1 boarders. The boarders shown are those after those wars not before.
Nice overview. I find the turmoil and territorial changes in Central and Eastern Europe very fascinating. Would be nice to see a video about that one. Keep up the good work.
When you put the Italian and Romanian flag but miss out the Serbian one. Serbia achieved more success than those two combined.. no offense to any Italians or Romanians out there.
I am from Belgium and because of Versailles we have a german speaking area. Anyway , if it would depend on me I would like to give the territory back to Germany. The people in that region do speak german and acctually belong to germany.
@adamo salvas Belgium has always been a region where dutch and french speakers work together. The german minority was never part of Belgium untill we had to take that territory. We had to take it !!
@adamo salvas Yes we don't really work equally. Flanders does most of the work and Walonia steals from us. But still that little piece of german speaking may go to germany , I wouldn't mind
@@tibodeclercq2131 why should it go back to germany? there is no reason for it. the people who live there themselves generally don't want to go back to germany either. it's just "belgian" territory now, it's become part of the country that is already artificial in nature. The other communities (walloon and flemish) don't have any historical connection with each other either, apart from Caesar's province of "Belgica" which was in sense just a very "loose" federation of the northern tribes of Gaul. And the romanization of this province was more profound in the south (Wallonia), then in Flanders (north) which was more under Germanic influence.
It's absolutely insane hearing the battles with casualties of "60,000" "20,000" but all of those people had dreams, families, stories. All silenced by war and a number.

Keep up the good work 👍👍👍 Edit: I love how Switzerland wasn't involved in the war XDD. Even tho Switzerland was in the middle of Italy, France and Germany.
Some key pieces of information are missing here. Since I am from Serbia, I am going to share some interesting and important thinga here. If you would like to know more about Serbian involvement in the war, and trust me, Serbian contribution was enormous in the beginning of the war and also in ending the war, then continue reading. Austria-Hungary issued an ultimatum to Serbia before starting the war, basically wanting to occupy Serbia, knewing that Serbia cannot accept that, so they can have an excuse to start a war. But Austria-Hungary planned to expand its territories on the Serbian detriment long before the Austrian heir to the throne Ferdinand was assasinated in Sarajevo. They just used it as an excuse. Austrian annexing of Bosnia was basically the start of the war. Serbia wasn't attacked from 2 sides, but 3. The countries that Serbia fought alone are Croatia (surprise, surprise, I know) under Austria-Hungarian rule), Austria, Hungary, Bulgaria, and Albania (later). When AH first attacked Serbia, Serbs were beating them with ease in several occasions and that made AH plans to fall apart, as they were expecting a fast victory in the Balkans, so they can proceed to strenghhen their forces on the eastern front against Russia. Since AH alone couldn't beat Serbia, German emperor Wilhelm II was pissed and refused to send help, as Germany was fighting against France, England and Belgium on the west and Russia on the east (plus they had troops in Africa). So AH decided to call Bulgaria into action. Bulgaria joined the war and attacked Serbia from behind (that's actually something Bulgaria is known for when it comes to stabbing Serbia in the back, we even have some sayings and jokes about that here in Serbia). Since Allied forces didn't want to help Serbia and weaken their own army, they all basically flushed Serbia down the toilet. It was like "you bought us some precious time, thanks for that, nobody was expecting that you are going to beat AH and prolong the front on thr Balkans, so thank you, but now you are on your own". France even sent the wrong ammunition caliber for Serbian rifles and cannons, so basically Serbia couldn't even defend anymore, so Serbian king decided that it's best to abandon the country and head towards Montenegro and Albania, so Serbian army can recover properly in Greece and prepare for the liberation. But Albanians also started to shoot and kill weak Serbian people and soldiers. The temperatures were freezing below the zero, thousands and thiusands of people died from cold, famine, typhus, when they stopped to rest and froze to death, etc. And Albanians only worsened the total death toll by killing weak, wounded, starving people. But that's not all. Even after walking for hundreds of kilometers on foot, and surviving cold, typhus, famine and Albanian surgents, after Serbs reached their destination on the shore, Allied ships didn't want to pick them up and transport to Greek islands because of the typhus. So Serbs were forced to walk another few hundred kilometers to be picked up by French ships. And when they arrived there, Allied ships still refused to pick them up, basically letting them all to die. That's when Russian tsar Nicholas Romanov issued an ultimatum to France, saying that if French ships don't pick up Serbian solders and civilians, Russia will sign a separate peace with Germany and France would get overrun. Only then France agreed to help and transport the Serbs to Greece. And then some people wonder why Serbs love Russia so much. Even though we had some disagreementa with Russia in the past, like when they backed Bulgaria instead of Serbia in the Balkan wars, that reason alone is enough for us to be eternally grateful to our Russian orthodox brothers. Fast forward to 1918, when the Serbian army recovered in Greek islands, they headed right back to join the Salonica/Macedonian front, liberate Serbia and win the war. Fun fact: Salonica front was created to help Serbia in the beginning of the war, but the expedition came too late when jt eas all over for Serbia, so Allied forces left some od their soldiers there. In 1918, in the eyes of everyone involved, Salonica front was the last front anyone expected to have a crucial significance in winning the war. Well, in the eyes of everyone except in the eyes of Serbia. When Serbia joined the front, they felt rejuvinated and eager to free their homeland. They disregarded the command of the French general Franchet d'Esperey and stormed the front, forcing the Bulgarians to retreat. In the wake of the Serbian storm, scared and confused Bulgarian soldiers were shouting: "Run if you are alive, here come the dead.", since everyone believed that Serbian army is non-exiatent after the 1915 and their retreat. Soon after Bulgaria capitulated and there was nothing that could stop the advances of the Serbian army. In only 45 days, Serbian army marched 600 kilometers, fighting the enemy along the way while marching 17 hours a day. Not even the French cavalry could keep pace with the Serbian soldiers going on foot. German emperor Wilhelm II was so furious, he couldn't believe that some small Serbia that was basically non-existent can win the war and force 700.000 soldiers of the Central Powers to retreat, surrender or die. He wrote a letter to Bulgarian monarch Ferdinand I in which he wrote: "A Serbian army of 62.000 soldiers decided the war. Embarassing." After Serbia liberated the capital of Belgrade, Italy wanted to take over some territories that were previously under AH rule (modern day Croatia). Basically, that was the only reason Italy stopped being neutral and joined the Allias (Italy previously signed a pact with Germany and AH), so they can take new territories in Dalmatia. Since Croats were unable to defend those territories, they asked for help from Serbia. Serbs, still wounded, not even recovered properly, came to Dalmatia to stop prevent the Italians from taking over those cities. And how did Croats thanked Serbia? By killling around 700.000 Serbs in the WWII, by having the first and only ever recorded concentration camp for children in the history of warfare and by starting a war and breaking down Yugoslavia in the 1990s. Less than 30 years after World War I was over, Germany once again started a war, bombing the Serbia in the early morning, because Serbs didn't want to join him, so Germany choose Croatia instead. Hitler was welcomed in Croatian capital of Zagreb with flowers as a hero, he had a parade, he was celebrated. While Serbia lost around 1.500.000 of its population in WWI (more than 1/3 of total population before the war and around 60% of total male population), and
That sound like extreme nationalistic propaganda. And also very oblivious of the realities of the time, how would France or Russia send help hundreds of kilometers away when themselves were falling back across the line. Not saying that Serbia's performance in the war was not amazing but attributing the success of the Macedonian front to Serbia seems like a stretch at best, they were only one out of 5 nations present there and neither the most numerous nor the most well armed. OH a'd Croatia was not a country at the time, just a part of AH

Good explanation video,
You got a new subscriber from Indonesia :)
Njir
Not as good as someone who don't know anything would say. Dude didn't say anything about how Serbia created great Yugoslavia country out of Austria Hungary empire and tripled it's size. Nothing about southern front which determent the war. He literally said nothing about it except that Bulgaria attacked Serbs from back and that caused Serbs retreat. By his explanation you can understand that Austria Hungary declared war on Serbs and then fought France 🤣 video is dumb as any short explanation of anything on TH-cam.

Who here, like me, are watching to educate yourself about world history? 🙋♀️
Only after watching so many WW2 and WW1 related movies on Netflix that I got fed up and was like man I need to have a crash course on these wars before I can enjoy these movies !!
I already know most about the First World War in relation to the Western Front. I do know the tragedy of the Eastern Front (The Austro-Hungarian army decimated Serbia, I think their actions were considered war crimes when you considered the amount of civilians they murdered). If you are interested in picking up any non-fiction books about the First World War, I can definitely recommend some. :)

I am from Moldova, my Grandpa told us, that when he was on first line of battle on W.W. 1 and meet face to face with a soldier opponent, and raise the sword to kill him; that man said: "Brother, do not kill me, because my wife and my children are waiting for me at house." When he heard that, the sword fell down from his hand. When he was returning home, he was living in a village and a she dog with two puppies big as her, meet him at the border of village territory. She was very happy and welcomed him as good as she could, but the puppies did not knew him because they were born after he went to war. So, they were barking at him and were angry with him, but their mum the she dog stopped them and bite them. When Grandpa saw that even a dog was waiting for his master, and is so happy when he returned, his eyes were in tears, because many which were waited of their lovers will never return.

You missed so many things. The war didn't start on the Western front, it started with an Austro-Hungarian attack on Serbia, if you are going to talk about the Schlieffen Plan, then before that talk about the first Allied victory of the war (Battle of mountain Cer). Then when you talk about German collapse, it didn't happen on the Western front, it happens after the breakthrough of the Salonica Front (Thessaloniki), de facto destroying Bulgarian and Austro-Hungarian armies capacities, prompting Germany to negotiate an armistice!
He talks about the Austro-Hungarian attack at 2:00! Before talking about the Schlieffen Plan.
@@brendotec7241 no... He only says that Austria declared war.... No attacks, not anything

Када су “праваши” из Загреба хтели тад да прогласе независну државу, Сплићани су им одговорили да уколико се то деси, они (Сплићани) ће са целом Далмацијом да се припоје Србији.

Srdjan Nalis this is a summary. He cant cover all the details in 8 minuyrs
I'm sorry but how could you forget Gallipoli while preparing the video? It is not even mentioned that entente countries couldn't invade Istanbul during the war and that's why they couldn't send supply to the Tsardom of Russia which resulted with the success of communist revolt in Russia. Gallipoli is a very essential part of WWI where more than 500k people died.
Just like Verdun or the Somme, and he didnt talk about it either. Stop playing the victim card.
Many things are missing... th-cam.com/video/tclAbWvBt70/w-d-xo.html
Komşu, birçok şey özlemiş.
Gallipoli was a mistake Turkey was not a significant threat and attempting to invade the Dardenells was more a stupid act of frustration at the lack of progress on the western front , The man responsible resigned as head of the Navy in the next war he was Prime minster and repeated the mistake by invading sourthern Italy !
@@5888max Yeah man Turkey was totally not a threat. Imagine Baghdad and the Persian Gulf in the hands of Germany. (Turkey had oil back then..)

Outstanding! Thank you for making these! PEACE AND LOVE.
You missed quite a lot what about the battle of Gallipoli ? Whats about greece?the ottoman empire and so on its a good video vut you dont mention all the important things only the most popular
and that was because the video is too short
@@nogussy then make it longer if you are going to title it events and origins of the first world war
i'm not the one who made this plus the person who made it probably cant dedicate all his time to making these videos, his channel is currently not profitable enough that he could spend all his time making these videos without having to worry about work or other things
thats my guess
@@nogussy firstly you are the one defending it and secondly there are a lot of other smaller history channels with videos that are way better researched than this one dont get me wrong but when you make a historical video you have to do it right otherwise its not historical the creator here claims he has created a detailed summary of the 1st world war but this is simply wrong
these smaller channels probably dedicate more time and he didnt say anything wrong, he just didnt mention the stuff you said
all his videos are similar length and he can't fit all this in an 8 minute video, he'd focus on major stuff that affected the war, the ottoman empire sure did have affect on the war but it wasn't that much

I am from Belgium and because of Versailles we have a german speaking area. Anyway , if it would depend on me I would like to give the territory back to Germany. The people in that region do speak german and acctually belong to germany.
@adamo salvas Belgium has always been a region where dutch and french speakers work together. The german minority was never part of Belgium untill we had to take that territory. We had to take it !!
@adamo salvas Yes we don't really work equally. Flanders does most of the work and Walonia steals from us. But still that little piece of german speaking may go to germany , I wouldn't mind
@adamo salvas Your name sounds latino , why are you even so deep into this ?
@@tibodeclercq2131 why should it go back to germany? there is no reason for it. the people who live there themselves generally don't want to go back to germany either. it's just "belgian" territory now, it's become part of the country that is already artificial in nature. The other communities (walloon and flemish) don't have any historical connection with each other either, apart from Caesar's province of "Belgica" which was in sense just a very "loose" federation of the northern tribes of Gaul. And the romanization of this province was more profound in the south (Wallonia), then in Flanders (north) which was more under Germanic influence.

Some key pieces of information are missing here. Since I am from Serbia, I am going to share some interesting and important thinga here. If you would like to know more about Serbian involvement in the war, and trust me, Serbian contribution was enormous in the beginning of the war and also in ending the war, then continue reading.
Austria-Hungary issued an ultimatum to Serbia before starting the war, basically wanting to occupy Serbia, knewing that Serbia cannot accept that, so they can have an excuse to start a war. But Austria-Hungary planned to expand its territories on the Serbian detriment long before the Austrian heir to the throne Ferdinand was assasinated in Sarajevo. They just used it as an excuse. Austrian annexing of Bosnia was basically the start of the war.
Serbia wasn't attacked from 2 sides, but 3. The countries that Serbia fought alone are Croatia (surprise, surprise, I know) under Austria-Hungarian rule), Austria, Hungary, Bulgaria, and Albania (later). When AH first attacked Serbia, Serbs were beating them with ease in several occasions and that made AH plans to fall apart, as they were expecting a fast victory in the Balkans, so they can proceed to strenghhen their forces on the eastern front against Russia. Since AH alone couldn't beat Serbia, German emperor Wilhelm II was pissed and refused to send help, as Germany was fighting against France, England and Belgium on the west and Russia on the east (plus they had troops in Africa). So AH decided to call Bulgaria into action. Bulgaria joined the war and attacked Serbia from behind (that's actually something Bulgaria is known for when it comes to stabbing Serbia in the back, we even have some sayings and jokes about that here in Serbia). Since Allied forces didn't want to help Serbia and weaken their own army, they all basically flushed Serbia down the toilet. It was like "you bought us some precious time, thanks for that, nobody was expecting that you are going to beat AH and prolong the front on thr Balkans, so thank you, but now you are on your own". France even sent the wrong ammunition caliber for Serbian rifles and cannons, so basically Serbia couldn't even defend anymore, so Serbian king decided that it's best to abandon the country and head towards Montenegro and Albania, so Serbian army can recover properly in Greece and prepare for the liberation. But Albanians also started to shoot and kill weak Serbian people and soldiers. The temperatures were freezing below the zero, thousands and thiusands of people died from cold, famine, typhus, when they stopped to rest and froze to death, etc. And Albanians only worsened the total death toll by killing weak, wounded, starving people.
But that's not all. Even after walking for hundreds of kilometers on foot, and surviving cold, typhus, famine and Albanian surgents, after Serbs reached their destination on the shore, Allied ships didn't want to pick them up and transport to Greek islands because of the typhus. So Serbs were forced to walk another few hundred kilometers to be picked up by French ships. And when they arrived there, Allied ships still refused to pick them up, basically letting them all to die. That's when Russian tsar Nicholas Romanov issued an ultimatum to France, saying that if French ships don't pick up Serbian solders and civilians, Russia will sign a separate peace with Germany and France would get overrun. Only then France agreed to help and transport the Serbs to Greece. And then some people wonder why Serbs love Russia so much. Even though we had some disagreementa with Russia in the past, like when they backed Bulgaria instead of Serbia in the Balkan wars, that reason alone is enough for us to be eternally grateful to our Russian orthodox brothers.
Fast forward to 1918, when the Serbian army recovered in Greek islands, they headed right back to join the Salonica/Macedonian front, liberate Serbia and win the war. Fun fact: Salonica front was created to help Serbia in the beginning of the war, but the expedition came too late when jt eas all over for Serbia, so Allied forces left some od their soldiers there. In 1918, in the eyes of everyone involved, Salonica front was the last front anyone expected to have a crucial significance in winning the war. Well, in the eyes of everyone except in the eyes of Serbia. When Serbia joined the front, they felt rejuvinated and eager to free their homeland. They disregarded the command of the French general Franchet d'Esperey and stormed the front, forcing the Bulgarians to retreat. In the wake of the Serbian storm, scared and confused Bulgarian soldiers were shouting: "Run if you are alive, here come the dead.", since everyone believed that Serbian army is non-exiatent after the 1915 and their retreat. Soon after Bulgaria capitulated and there was nothing that could stop the advances of the Serbian army. In only 45 days, Serbian army marched 600 kilometers, fighting the enemy along the way while marching 17 hours a day. Not even the French cavalry could keep pace with the Serbian soldiers going on foot. German emperor Wilhelm II was so furious, he couldn't believe that some small Serbia that was basically non-existent can win the war and force 700.000 soldiers of the Central Powers to retreat, surrender or die. He wrote a letter to Bulgarian monarch Ferdinand I in which he wrote: "A Serbian army of 62.000 soldiers decided the war. Embarassing."
After Serbia liberated the capital of Belgrade, Italy wanted to take over some territories that were previously under AH rule (modern day Croatia). Basically, that was the only reason Italy stopped being neutral and joined the Allias (Italy previously signed a pact with Germany and AH), so they can take new territories in Dalmatia. Since Croats were unable to defend those territories, they asked for help from Serbia. Serbs, still wounded, not even recovered properly, came to Dalmatia to stop prevent the Italians from taking over those cities. And how did Croats thanked Serbia? By killling around 700.000 Serbs in the WWII, by having the first and only ever recorded concentration camp for children in the history of warfare and by starting a war and breaking down Yugoslavia in the 1990s. Less than 30 years after World War I was over, Germany once again started a war, bombing the Serbia in the early morning, because Serbs didn't want to join him, so Germany choose Croatia instead. Hitler was welcomed in Croatian capital of Zagreb with flowers as a hero, he had a parade, he was celebrated. While Serbia lost around 1.500.000 of its population in WWI (more than 1/3 of total population before the war and around 60% of total male population), and
Yugoslavia = 👍
That sound like extreme nationalistic propaganda. And also very oblivious of the realities of the time, how would France or Russia send help hundreds of kilometers away when themselves were falling back across the line. Not saying that Serbia's performance in the war was not amazing but attributing the success of the Macedonian front to Serbia seems like a stretch at best, they were only one out of 5 nations present there and neither the most numerous nor the most well armed.
OH a'd Croatia was not a country at the time, just a part of AH
