The whole event where the Ottomans got crushed by the balkan states then Bulgaria got crushed by the rest of the balkan states and the Ottomans was actually historically accurate. That is exactly what happened
Zechariah Kouns Willhelm II hated the idea of soldiers dying from any side as well, he just hated everything of fighting in WW1 but he was forced to fight in it because of the alliance with Austria-Hungary.
Indeed. This was not WW2. Russia and Germany might've fought each other but Wilhelm and Nicholas were family, enemies but families. Not like Stalin and Hitler in WW2. Imagine stalin being cousins with Hitler, nasty
Adam Gawlowski in ww1 we know none of the leaders wanted war but franz josef generals toldhim to declare war even though they knew he didn't want war ,the guy was 80
Y’all are forgetting Britain because king George V Wilhelm II and Nicholas II were all cousins if you guys have seen king George and tsar Nicholas together they look identical
the first war: ottoman vs. the balkan states, and then the bulgaria vs. serbia romania and grecce are historically accurate, that were the first and the second balkan war
Well, isn't it? Did Temüjin "Chingghis" Kahaan have any other names, and didn't he pass it on to his kids? In case you think the two are exclusive, consider what happened with "Cæsar" (originally the word for king, later also the surname of the roman imperial family).
Well, those two freshly built ottoman dreadnaughts that Churchill ordered to integrate into british navy instead of giving away to their owners might have also helped...
Well you could say it wasn't Italy in the central powers, it was more Italy not in the Entente, the Italian-Austrian border was a big problem for the Austrians, because everything is a big problem for the Austrians
Before WW1, Italy was part of the central powers. However, Italy and Austria-Hungary had a "hiccup" due to ethnically Italian lands, so when WW1 broke out, Italy stayed neutral. Despite this, Italy was planning to join the central powers, but the entente offered Italy the land they wanted from Austria-Hungary if Italy joined the entente and they won the war, which made Italy switch sides.
Historically, Italy was in the central powers, but they said it was a defensive alliance only, and since they wanted land from Austria-Hungary, they betrayed the central powers, opening a new front, which in my opinion made the central powers lose the war.
No it wasn't betrayal, first it was a defensive alliance and it was Austria that decided war, so making it an offensive war. Second : there was an agreement that if Austria or Italy took lands in the Balkans, it had to to give land in competition to the other nation, so when Austria refused to give land to Italy it was Austria that broke the alliance terms, not Italy
Bolt the hedgy Nope, it was world war 1. They just made Germany ultra evil because that's what we're used to in movies, even though frankly world war one was a lot more Grey area then the second world war and didn't actually have a "badguy".

*Robin Roos* Are you moralizing alcohol over weed? If so, you're ass backwards even though over smoking weed is not something to boast about. I grew up in England with football hooligans; booze abuse, followed by picking on youths with the wrong neck scarves. In Bristol it was 'City' fans vs 'Rovers' in the 70's. My best friend Kevin almost died after his throat was cut after being thrown through a plate glass window for wearing the 'wrong scarf'. I prefer non violent potheads!

@Paprika Huszár Kebab Removal Flags and Mapping Actually, Austria-Hungary declared the war. They gave Serbia a treaty that they couldn't sign, and Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia, which started WW1
Bulgaria joined the Central Powers 11 days before Bulgaria joined the Central Powers in reality.yes Bulgaria fought in WWI on the side of the Central Powers and they were very important to the Central Powers and were pretty good at defeating Serbia and Romania.There is your history lesson for today.
Actually the Balkan thing was historical. Greece Bulgaria and Serbia teamed up for the 1st Balkan war, and then they fought against one another in the 2nd.
10:50 definitely, Italy was big enough to put a lot of pressure in the Alps with France, and they would have probably saved the Ottomans from the British and the Serbo-Greeks. The Central Powers would over-all have a lot more men to put on the fronts.
The start of the video is very historical. Edit: Italy “stayed” in the central powers (Historically it is a not so unlikely scenario), japan joins entente (just like in our timeline). Portugal did join the entente Drewz
Drew, the Australians were researching the neutrality focus when you checked on their tech tree, so I have to assume that the reason they weren't invading German New Guinea was because they weren't in the war.
just want to mention. ottoman empire was shit during ww1 just like austro hungary and italy. germany was literally alone in war. just for you to picture it. ottoman empire lost almost whole army near egypt near suez(i think) canal because they were marching on egypt. ottoman leader was some son of some big guy who didnt know shit and didnt know about planes so egyptian army saw prepared and defeated them with more than 1 to 10 ratio. austro hungary managed to hold line BARELY so yeah
Ivan Jerkovic I really do not think you have any room to say anything about history. You seem to think Italy was on the Central Powers side during the war.
Portugal and and england have the longest standing alliance of all time, I think its over 1,000 years old. Even though Portugal isn't known for its army they did in fact fight in ww1.
A History Class for Drew, The Balkan League was Created To take the ethnic areas of the Balkans in the Ottoman Empire, the borders if they changed, it is called the first Balkan War, then the Antubulga League was created, as I declare Bulgaria the Serbian war to take Macedonia, which at that time was mostly Bulgarian, sip bulgaria obviously lost the second war of the Balkans, then, Japan sent an ultimatum to Germany to give him all its colonies in Oceania, Germany obviously rejected it and Japan declared war on Germany, then the United Kingdom saw opportunity to take the German colonies in Africa, since Portugal had borders with them, and convinced Portugal to enter the war on the side of the Entente. The only non-historical was that Italy enter the central powers, because in fact in 1915 Italy declared war on the central powers.
Quick fact : Italy actually joined the Central powers faction in the real World war but stayed neutral to later join the entante and also then join the war.
fun fact: the maginot line in ww1 was called "barriere de fer", it was in the vosges region, not like the maginot line, which was in alsace-lorraine later
