My great grandfather fought in the Boer War in South Africa. We still have his cavalry pistol and his gold pocket watch. He suffered from PTSD after coming home to Canada after the war and became an alcoholic; it was a brutal fight.
My great grandfather fought against yours. Yes indeed, terrible war, especially considering the British resorted to interning women and children in concentration camps in order to stop the Boer men from fighting. Not that your great grandfather had any say in that, but if he was aware it would not have helped his psychological state.
My Great-Grandfather was also in the Second Boer War and was at the Defence of Ladysmith. He had to eat rats while under siege and killed Boers in close combat. Sounded like a rough time from the stories.
I've always found the lead-up to war more interesting than the war itself - the countless times conflicts could have been avoided. That's why I really appreciate this channel going into the background of the War.
I also find the aftermath of war interesting; not so much the politics as ordinary people trying to get their lives and their country put back together. It's unfortunate that history books, shows, etc. usually give this time scant coverage.
i know right? its so interesting, New Imperialism era is one of the most fascinating chapter of world history, the prewar era certainly so because after it the world is barely recognizable anymore
My Paternal Great Great Grandfather named Albert Edward Sugg was born in January 1880 in east London. He was a Bare-knuckle boxing from the age off 16. He joined the Royal Navy in 1900 aged 20. He married my great great grandmother in 1905 and had my great grandfather named Charles Sugg in 1910 who was also born in east London. In the Great War he served in the Battle of Jutland. He died in 1960 in my home town in Essex.
You’d have liked Malta, they had very old buses until they joined EU. Well looked after a lot were, my Dad recognised them from his school days in 50s.
This channel is unprecedented and will never be overtaken by a similar show. For that, I hold this to the highest esteem and the Great War to the highest admiration.
Please do a video on the arms race. I feel like its often not mentioned when discussing the start of WWI even though it was very influential in shaping the alliances going into WWI
I literally cannot wait for the episode covering the empire most engaged in the war.. the German one. The series covering the nations before the war is one of the most interesting things there is, and as an empire that experienced such an exceptional golden age before the war, this is going to be highly interesting.
I lived in germany for a while and listening to old phonograph records of that time and visiting cities like Dresden you see the golden age of Germany in the early 1900's. It's the same the world over however, England, France, USA and even Russia would have been infinitely more beautiful and stable had the blood letting of the first and second world wars not depleted us of the empire and Germany and France of it's confidence and manpower.
So sad the war is nearly end... and this channel will be over. But do you guys have any plan to continue the series and i know a lot of people saying this. I have been a fans of your channel for two years now. BTW I'm from Malaysia and you guys introduce me with history of WW1 that i don't even know of it... so i appreciate for what you've done.
As exited as I am for the climax of the war. I can’t help but feel sad that the Great War is coming to a end. Been my fav TH-cam channel ever. And you guys deserve a massive amount of credit. Wish you guys were going when I was doing my GCSE 15 year ago. Quite simply thank you for bringing this Great War back to life
I’m pretty sure it’s a British knockoff of Seaworld. New (S)Zealand. The British, in their unsurpassed majesty, took over an entire island and turned it into tourist paradise. I even heard The Ring was filmed there along with the Legend of Bilbo Bagger Vance. Sounds like a neat place, just have to be watchful of Orks and the like.
Hello Indy and Crew. Could you do a video on Prussian identity during the war? I am especially interested in later and post war years. Thansk for show. Best wishes from the Danish Kingdom.
There was very few Prussian identity left after the foundation of the German Empire in 1871. Strechting from west to east for 1000 kilometers lived very different People in Prussia, among others Hessians, Lower Saxons, Silesian, true Prussians only in the northeast around Berlin, Danzig and Königsberg.
Ross Kyle if you only know... in 1918 Switzerland was also at the brink of country wide rioting - the so called Landesstreik lasted for 3 days before the union reconsider & stoped the strike altough shots have been fired on the last day killing several demonstraters
First off I want to say you and your team are the Peter burns of ww1, that being said got a question for OFTT. I read some where that each country built their respectable trench differently could you please explain. Thank y'all for all the hard work that y'all do.
Hey Indy, on the statistics on income distribution you cite, oftentimes it's not clear if you were referring to Britain (with or without Ireland) or the British Empire as a whole.
Wow, take a look at 10:09. That one Mate is camera shy and the his friends are teasing him for it. Something like that really makes me realize how indifferent we are
@@FinDan07 Not really. All the largest empires on earth were contiguous land. The Mongol Empire was connected first by land. So was most of the Roman Empire. The colonial empire of Portugal and Spain were connected by land. What is now North, Central, The Caribean, and South America is mostly connected by land. The British conquered via shore, they created the idea of modern India and Pakistan. As a side note, Alexander the Great and the Mongols were not able to conquer India. I'm not advocating for empires, but look at how complex it was to create and control such vast lands. If the British did not control sea like they did they would be in the same position as Portugal. Who had an Empire, but was dependent of a single colony. To an extent I'm betting you hear only about Brazil and never about Portugal.
@UCLpLyRE6TIdyQ178WIx0mIw because India is right next to South Africa which makes it easy to get to Australia. Contiguous land was not something that the British had. All other colonial powers had a more contiguous territory to administer
@@andersonandrighi4539 That said, the Roman Empire grew as large as it did over the sea. That all parts were connected, was in many cases just mopping up at later stages. The Mediterranean was the important "road" that held the provinces of the Empire together. You didn't go to Carthage all the way around the sea; you travelled by ship. The Dalmatian coast technically provided a land bridge from Italy to Greece; you _could_ march to Egypt on land (not counting the Bosporus) - no-one used either of that. Rome's first province was an island (Sicily), Rome's first possession in Asia (western Asia Minor around Pergamon) was not connected via land to any other Roman territory; Carthage was conquered by ship.
@Anderson Andrighi Out of all the empires you listed, only the Mongolian empire was not a maritime one where seas played a huge role. How exactly were the colonial empires of portugal and spain connected by land? Last i checked there’s no land connection between south america and africa. Darien gap divides the americas as well. Caribbean is not connected by land. I have no idea what argument you were trying to make there, if anything you just confirmed what i said? The atlantic divides portugal and brazil as well? I literallly have no clue what you’re aiming to prove. Britain would be in the same position as portugal? Last I checked the british empire no longer exists. And I’d say India was to Britain similar in importance as Brazil was to Portugal, and heck many in India speak english nowadays and India is surpassing Britain as an economy. The fact that you got nine likes baffles me lol
Question for Out Of The Trenches; I don't recall if you guys have covered the Battle of Ambos Nogales which occured August 27, 1918. Were there really German advisers present at the battle? Great Job with the series, I'm going to miss it.
Excellent stuff indeed. Not wishing to get into a modern political debate, I couldn't help noticing how much of the numerical data relates very similarly to the current situation in the USA.
If you want to continue this,you should make analyse of those wining war plan and see If it could work or not and why not a "what if serie" or a serie about project and prototype of all nation made during the first war.
Indy's general presentation is kinda like that of someone shouting headlines at a corner somewhere, trying to sell newspapers so when he segways into the promotion in this video it kinda fits the way he usually talks, idk lol
@@HerewardWake Germany didnt even want to fight Britain during WW1. It was only about continental Europe. Germany, France, Russia and Austria-Hungary. Britain inserted itself into the war after Belgium.
@@HerewardWake But of course, ever since German unification, Britain and France have been trying to undermine and destroy it. Suddenly a new superpower appears in the middle of Europe, of course these old empires want to destroy and control it. Both world wars are ultimately because of this.
@@hhussy Yeah ofc they did, they wanted to keep balance in Europe, no one getting too powerful to dominate it. Germany did, so they worked against them. Anyways if Germany wasn't too aggressive they could have kept Britain out of the war. They invaded a neutral country, who Britain had a written alliance with. If Britain didn't join after that, no one would trust them with treaties.
"1% of the population holds 2/3 of the wealth and the working class holds less than 10%." - Nothing changed according to the newspapers here in Germany. Even more: the gap between rich and poor is widening!
If the Germans had captured Paris then the French possibility had surrendered and without Frans and without a land based way to Europe then the Entent wold have to have a truce. This wold not though (in my point of view) have been a total capitulation and the peace treaties wold nod dismantle all of the French and British empires, instead it wold have been a peace treaty that both powers wold get and lose som land (in my point of view) Thank Indie for taking the time to respond to my comment and I thought that it was a weird idea and a Chanel with almost 1 million subs wold probably never care to answer my question.
Absolutely love the depth of research and how concisely you manage to get it across. Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah! Thank you the crew of the Great War. I echo the sentiments of others who regret it is coming to an end soon but it has been a great ride.
Wow.. I started subscribing to you guys when I was just starting my first job. How time flies.. I found out about your channel not from TH-cam recommendation, but instead from a local newspaper of my hometown, Jakarta. There was an article about the 100 years commemoration of WW1. There, they mention (in all caps with your logo covering 1/4 of the article) a youtube channel that specifically tells the history of The Great War on a weekly basis.
