Can we just acknowledge for a moment how close this war was to a German victory?
Austrian Victory*
Germany didn't start a thing, they were bound by agreement to defend Austria, which meant invading Russia, which also meant invading France or else the French would take advantage and invade Germany
But yes if the US had no joined in the last 6 months of the war, the world would be a lot different. WW2 wouldn't have happened, Finland probably would not exist, the USSR and US may not have become the world powers they became...
@@mattc9598 not true. the only reason why the UK and US joined the war was because of germany (the schlieffen plan and the zimmerman telegram). austria caused the war, germany its escalation. so it isn't right to say germany was just an innocent little puppy who "didn't start a thing".
@Matt C to be fair Austria-Hungry was pretty trash in WW1, so it’s often overlooked.
Yep, but france hold it even after russia surrendered
@@mattc9598 Wrong, the Austrians started the war, but Germany became the main protagonist of the war, exerting the most important fronts and participating in the most memorable battles, while Austria-Hungary did not have the same participation that the German Empire had. If the Central Powers had won, World War II would probably have occurred anyway, the main defeated countries (France, Russia and the United Kingdom) would be humiliated and totalitarian governments (similar to fascism or communism) would emerge promising to bring those countries glory from back and defeat their enemies (it would be the "Axis" of this alternate reality), causing a new war, an alternate World War II.
Just seeing the soldier numbers decrease and increase while in a stand still for like a year is utterly terrifying.
Decreasing dosen’t only mean casualties. It could mean them withdrawing troops to fight somewhere else (example when russia agreed for peace).
@@SweetPotatoNotFound2 that or troops rotation
Frequently it means different data sets that don't jive with each other. Don't put too much stock in specific numbers.
I saw this pic of some french soldiers pretending to be scared shortly before the war started.
Those guys had no idea what was waiting for them.
Demobilisation for the sowing and the harvest. Agriculture was barely mecanized.
When you compare this to the WW2 map video, there's a key difference. In WW2, when you see a stalemate, there was sometimes fighting but often there was little or no activity, especially in the early years. But in WW1, although territory doesn't change much, there are constant failed offensives resulting in catastrophic loss of human life. So much destruction, for so little gain. Just consider the Austro-Italian front in the Alps, where something like a dozen battles were fought at the Isonzo, with absolutely nothing to show for it.
Yeah Bro Is a war of strategy in the trenches.
Altough the cost in manpower was appalling, the 12 battles of Isonzo progressively dislodged the austrians from their positions, which was more than what happened on the western front. Little territorial gain, yes, it was WW1, machine guns already existed but no real tanks or warplanes, making incredibly difficult to attack, nevertheless the austrians had to retreat and suffered great losses, smaller than the losses suffered by the attacking italians, for the abovesaid reason, but in the scale of 30.000 or more, for each battle.
The counterattack of Vittorio Veneto broke an austrian army depleted and exhausted, because of the utter cruelty of alpine warfare.
That is what the italians can show for WW1: the sudtirol. Too little? Maybe.
Too expensive in terms of lost lives? Sure.
Absolutely nothing? Simply not true.
What the UK can show for winning WW2?
Their empire was lost, and they become just a local power.
Warfare and politics are a dirty business.
@@ilmaio and who was the final victor of the Isonzo in the end? You seem to have left that out.
Austrians succeded counterattacking at Caporetto because Prussians sent in some reinforce with new war tactics, and Italians hold on Piave river also because France and England sent in reinforcements to prevent southern front from collapsing. During the early 1918 italians learned the lesson and built up a proper counteroffensive. Anyway, the reason why we fought on the Isonzo for so long is because at that time it was the only "conventional front" for the warfare doctrine (plain land, some hills). The war on the alps was intended only to disturb, not any real big offensive was planned there from both parts, nothing even close to Verdun or Isonzo.
@ilmaio - What You say seems very true. I think the Americans engineered the situation to be just so. They ended up with much of Our empire, defacto controling much of what We did. They ended up being the world hegemon by exploiting the vast need of the British for armaments and personelle - We signed deals with the Americans that they would enter war alongside Us, and supply vast arsenals of weaponry and manpower, while We gave much treasure. We had in the wake of WW2 abandoned Our silver and gold monetary standard to pay them, and in the face of scarcity had to grant independance to most, and then all of Our subjects abroad. Thats My take at this point, what do You think @ilmaio?
My grand grandpa fought in the war. By his stories, it's easy to understand how devastating this war was. He was a Serbian soldier and had to retreat trough Albania during winter together with the king and what was left of the army. The winter combined with the mountains in Albania killed most of what was left of the army. After they went trough Albania, they crossed the sea to go to a small Greek islands of Korf. After a couple of months the whole army was transferred to the Greek front. After the war, my grand grandpa, like every soldier that showed bravery and survived, received a singed document by the king and the main general in the whole Serbian army and a medal. We still have that document and the medal at my grandpa's house.
R.I.P to everyone who died in this terrible war.
Many Serbs soldiers were rescued by Italian navy in Albania.
@@mariorossi3898 it was more the french and the italian navy combined
@@borjanvasiljevic3743also French but Italian navy was heavily engaged also because closer to Albania.
Your great grandfather illegally tresspassed in another country while also commiting war crimes in said country btw.
@@aksu6528 : You are talking nonsense, Albanian bandits actually attacked the Serbian army during retreat, you were nobody and nothing as you are now.
It is always necessary to remember, while studying the history of warfare, that every man who has ever fought and died on the battlefield lived a life just as unique as yours. And to see that the numbers were changing so rapidly on the frontlines with hundreds of men dying each second... really puts into perspective how devastating the First World War was. The horrors of trench warfare scarred an entire generation, leaving millions of men dead and wounded. Lest we forget.

@@ll-nd1cj less bait than the average instagram thot
If not to say this war led to multiple fatal consequences such as revolution in various countries, birth of regimes with radical political ideologies, WW2 etc. 20-th century totally fucked up old way of human life.
@@PvtRebel We can attribute many of the conflicts & problems we suffer today as a result of the consequences of the First World War and its long-term effects over the 20th century. For the first time in human history, we utilised the potential of fully mechanized & industrial warfare, dishing out an untold amount of destruction combined with the new technology of the era. And to think, those who suffered in the First World War had to deal with the turmoil during the post-war period, with a great economic collapse, fueling the rise of dictatorships, extreme-nationalism, and militarism.
It is very ironic to see that the "War to End all wars" left so much destruction in its wake that it caused another, even greater war to occur just two decades later. History is one hell of a thing.

I think it's hard to understand how destroyed was Northern France after World War 1 for foreigners. My family is from a little 200 people village on the Aisne region. My grandmother used to tell me how mentally ill and ravaged and her father came back after the war
I'm a foreigner and i somewhat understand it. Entire zones in Northern France are still off limits due to the amount of ordnance that hadn't exploded yet still burried in the dirt. On top of that i know the tactics of human wave assaults against machine guns and the constant shelling by artillery. In many ways the fighting was way way worse in WW1 compared to WW2. WW2 being worse because of the deliberate atrocities on civilians going rampant on all sides.
The thing with WW1 is that, unlike WW2, is so hard to understand the process of collapse of the Central Powers and why they ended up losing just by looking at a map. For most of 1918 the Entente barely controlled France, Italy and few places in southeastern Europe
The thing is with WW1, that firepower was huge, but mobility/logisitcs was poor. So the participating sides often couldn't really do anything else than hiding in strong defensive positions and shooting each other from distance - often without success. This led to the well known "trench warfare", because both sides knew that leaving the trenches means death, so advancing was incredibly difficult. Both sides soon realized this, so the point of the war would soon become not conquering and occupying lands, but outlasting the enemy in terms of resources. And the Entente powers were much better supplied with that due to much better access to the Atlantic Ocean. So even though the western front was still on French and Belgian land, the Germans ran out of resources and knew that for them the war was over. Especially that all their allies had been eliminated at that point.
The british blockade pretty much fked up the Germans.
@@bruh5992 The small hat socialists fked up Germany.
Because the Germans were lucky enough that the entente accepted peace before they exploited what would’ve been a total collapse of the German Army
The simple fact that often gets overlooked is that Central Powers weren't militarily defeated in WWI. Social unrest and war weariness brought about the abdication of both Kaisers.

Germany caused both world wars, no respect at all for the prussian old goats.
The fact that the war ended without mainland Germany being invaded is impressive
It was the biggest mistake the Allies made, not invading Germany, it gave the sentiment to the Germans that they never lost WW1, that they were stabbed in the back by the Revolution
@@thomascatty379 Well they kinda were. They could have regrouped behind the Rhine and that would have been a tremendous barrier for the Allies to overcome.

Your argument makes no sense
Fun fact: Great Britain accused Germany of violating Belgium's neutrality, but entente were the ones who violated Greece's neutrality by militarizing Macedonia. That's why you see Northern Greece in blue but southern neutral. Greece joined officially the war in 1917.
Britain has always been double-standarded hypocritic moron. Always blaming others while she occupied a quarter of planet. Yup.
what has violating belgium neutrality to do with salonica front? serbian army moved to greece, they were there fighiting to liberate serbia and would do the same in any way because it was already occupied. it was done with french help yes but they would do it anyway so why wouldn't they help their allies?
@@gahdhsh623 Greece was neutral until 1917. In 1916 the country was split in two states, the Athenian one and the Salonican one. The allies were constantly asking from Greeks to join but they were disagreeing for that matter. However, when the split of the state was done, British ans French militarised Macedonia and started war operations against the Bulgarians who had also violated Greek neutrality and occupied Eastern Macedonia despite the annexation of the aeria from Greece in 1913. The fact that Serbia was a Greek ally and was occupied by central power does not legalise the fact that British and French army put leg in Greek soil despite the official neutrality of the state, which was an act of raw intervention.
@@marsakn268 i know what you are saying but if serbia is attacked and its army goes to greece who provides them with food and allows them to wait for their allies and if serbia is a french and british ally then we could say that greece wasn't neutral since then, it was obvious what is going on... you are probably right but i don't see that clear correlation
@@joonamikkonen_ true though
One often overlooked factor in Central Powers defeat is their collapse in the Balkans. It basically opened the door for the Entente armies to march straight up to Wien.
Yes, even though Greek King was pro German due wife influence, UK & France hold interests in Greece not to join Asix via Greek premiere.
It was the Entente victory in Macedonia that caused the Austrians and Germans to cowardly recoil out of the war before they got the backdoor-ing of a lifetime, the Balkans are so often slept on in this war because people focus on the west and east but the south was where Bulgaria, Austria, and the Ottomans were knocked out and was crucial for the collapse of Germany
Not just Wien, but Sofia and Constantinople as well. The Allies killed three birds with one stone.
Sorry to let your fantasy down. No Entente soldier marched to Vienna. The armistice of Compiegne ended the war. Nobody attacked or even conquered Vienna.
@@testtor2714 I never said they marched to Vienna. I said that the collapse of the front made it possible for them to march to Vienna. They did not, as the war ended. It ended because situation for Central Power became untenable, Vienna being defenceless being one of the reasons.
It's crazy to see how much land the Central Powers held up until the very end. Really shows that WWI was just about who fell like a sack of bricks first.
It's crazy to know that at one point Austria Hungary was fighting a 3 front war
Btw the BF1 music is making me nostalgic 🔥

It is heartening to see so many comments paying homage to the dead, and recognizing the fact that those numbers we see on the map are millions of cases of PTSD, millions of debilitating injuries, million of people who won't return to their homes, millions more people who will never see loved ones again.
We must also remember that there were competant generals in WW1, and the nature of warfare during this time made it incredibly difficult to effect large-scale battlefield successes. All war is terrible, it doesn't matter if 60,000 men died for 1km or 200km. We simply see the horror of war so much more clearly when there aren't large scale manuevers to distract us.
Perhaps I am a humanist of a slightly different interpretation, but I have my own arguments. Past wars worry me less than present and future ones. The past cannot be influenced, but there is much to learn. The future depends on our actions.
The socio-economic prerequisites for the emergence of wars have not disappeared anywhere and have never ceased to operate (since the emergence of civilization).
I suspect you have a penchant for constructive thinking, and therefore you have a question about WWI.

The fact that the central powers did this good is honestly surprising when you consider these things
1.)The central powers had only 4 countries, whereas the Allies had over 12, plus the British commonwealth. That means each central power had to fight an average of 3 countries.
2.)The central powers were at a geographical disadvantage, with Germany fighting France and Belgium on its west, Russia on its east, and its territories abroad. Austria-Hungary fighting Russia and Romania on its east, and Serbia and Montenegro on its south. Bulgaria fighting Serbia to its west, Romania to its north and Greece to its south. And the Ottoman Empire fighting the Greeks from the west, Russians from the north, and the British from the east.
3.)The central powers had their own issues. Germany was pretty good, but Austria-Hungary was massively ethnically divided, Bulgaria was fairly tiny, and the Ottoman Empire had been losing land for decades by that point.
To think that the Central had all of this and still kept the war at a stalemate for 4 years and nearly won
And now try to understand how was hard to hold such long front for Russia.
From Baltic to Caspian sea. It's damn tough.
focusing on number of countries doesn't even make sense, it's the size of them , gdp, population and manpower that count. Germany, Ottoman Empire and Austria - Hungary were massive, huge population centers. The Central Powers had a lot more manpower vs the Allies. They underperformed.

@@LoLMasterManiac and we beat you in the end 😂
Vittorio Veneto was a pathetic walkover. The Austro-Hungarian Army had completely disintegrated by this point and was incapable of mounting any serious resistance. To call it a "great victory" is frankly like feeling good about punching the shit out of an 80-year-old on crutches. The reason why modern Italians still celebrate Vittorio Veneto as a "great victory" is because it is pretty much the only victory they achieved in the entire war, after having wasted millions of lives in the senseless slaughter at Isonzo and then been overrun at Caporetto, needing the support of British and French troops to stabilise the front on the Piave River.
I come from an Italian city, and there is a "Via Vittorio Veneto" as well as a "Piazza Amba Alagi". It always makes me sick to pass those streets/piazzas, because their names tell lies: they project the image of great, heroic victories of the Italian nation, when in reality one was a walkover which was almost impossible to lose, while the other was a genocidal massacre of Ethiopian natives by using, amongst other things, poison gas. And yet modern Italians are oblivious to this.
And this is a problem not just in Italy. In Austria, there still exist Conrad-von-Hötzendorf streets. To honour that complete and utter moron is simply beyond me.
Fuck nationalism and national pride. It is almost always built on lies, myths and legends which have little to do with the awful, awkward truth.

Glad I found your channel on Reddit! I never want to skip your ads lol. You deserve it!
by far the best depiction i have ever seen of this war on a map
Your channel is getting better and better. Keep it up
In the 1915 campaign on the Russian front, German troops lost 1 million people (on the French front during this period - 721 thousand people), Austro-Hungarian troops - 1 million 252 thousand people (on the Balkan and Italian fronts during this period - respectively 29 and about 182 thousand people), Turkish troops - up to 100 thousand people .
Of the total combat losses of the year, these figures were: 58% for German troops, up to 86% for Austrian troops, up to 30% for Turkish troops. On average, the German Bloc lost over 67% of the people of this campaign on the Russian Front.
That is, in 1915, the Russian army inflicted total losses of 2 million 350 thousand people on the enemy's troops - and this year's damage was the heaviest for the enemy coalition in the entire war.

Very cool. One minor criticism is having Romania still colored when it was out of the war.
There is no sense from your Romania, only difficulties were created for the Russians by stretching the front.
8:07 onwards is perfect. The music denotes the final phase where the Germans had a narrow window to break the western front before too many American troops arrived and before their own internal issues collapsed the Empire. At this stage, all of the major powers were at complete breaking point, and all of the powers knew this was a fight for the survival of their realms. The loser would lose it all. Finally Germany had gotten rid of the nightmare of a 2-front war and was able to release its Eastern troops to the West. It simply was all done too late

One of my great-great-grandpa’s (maybe more greats, idk) survived the war. He would go on to survive WW2 as well. He was a great man, and served as a Sikh soldier in the British Army. He was deployed at the 2nd Battle of Ypres, and also served during other battles such as Mons, Antwerp, Brussels, and other non-Belgian battles. In WW2 he served mainly in Paris, Normandy, and the Bulge. He also served in the BED (British Expeditionary Force).
What a hero
Must a high ranking officer then according to the age. Probably led at least a battalion or be a member of the staff for larger size units such as division and corps.
France in ww1: 😎🗿
France in ww2: 👶😭
Agree.
@Nick Gurr That is because the french defense were at the Franco-German Border, so if france extended their Maginot line to the English Channel, The Germans would've lost. at WW1 and WW2 at the start.
@@lyn1451 this is not true because the french knew that the germans would pass through the belgian border, even though it was not their original expectation they had "plan D" aimed at trapping the germans in a confined space that the french employed as "funnel" what the French had not foreseen was that the Germans did not wait for the logistics to follow to rush to the Ardennes
English ww2: 🏃🏃🏃🏃🚣🚣⛵🏳️🤡
@Nick Gurr The French weren't usually better than the Germans. Up till that point, they'd only fought one 1v1 war and Germany crushed them. Look up Franco German war 1871.
Its finally here! I wanted this for 5 months
Just looking at the axis position in 1917 and I can see how the stab in the back conspiracy was so persuasive
the problem is that these positions do not reflect the real situation at the front and in the economy, and it was not in favor of Germany! even the victory on Russia could not save Germany and it was doomed because in the war of attrition the Entente had a much larger reserve of forces, especially given the huge US army gradually replenishing the ranks of the Entente!
@@Artur-qq1ef6zm1l но было бы интересно посмотреть чем бы все закончилось если бы Германия перекинула этот миллион солдат с востока, вместо того чтобы абсолютно без толку оккупировать уже вышедшую из войны Россию.
@@user-uw7kq7tu1t закончилось бы тем же самым! экономика Германии даже при условии приобретений была в кризисе армия и народ устали от войны и даже если бы она перебросила все силы на запад что было невозможно это бы не помогло! во Францию стабильно пребывали Американские Войска! США уже тогда были очень сильной и богатой страной и во многом поддерживали огромными кредитами Антанту! за свое короткое участие в войне они успели мобилизовать 4 миллиона и к марту 1918 во Франции уже имели 1 миллион солдат! у Германия была обречена в войне на истощение с этим гигантом единственным ее реальным шансом было быстрое взятие Парижа и выведение Франции из войны в 1914
It's utter nonsense.
The germans lost the western front against the French mainly, and the brits since Verdun in 1916, massive french victory. Even the german general was fired.
No amount of coping, weraboos or hitler conspiracy theories will change the fact.
If not for the US criminal decisions, european armies would have paraded in Berlin like it ought to preventing WW2.

It's really shocking to see that most of the movement happened during the first two months of the war. Initially there were cavalry on cavalry clashes, infantry squares, and other such formations you might have seen in Napoleon's time, then trench warfare settled in. I know that in late 1914 through 1915, a common tactic was to send a cavalry charge or an infantry charge against machine gunners and the survivors that made it over there would attempt to capture that trench, which wasn't easy because of the mass of barbed wire entanglements. When the best case scenarios happened, it changed the battle lines by a few hundred feet. But it's really shocking to see how stationary the battle lines were for years. With airplanes and tanks getting better and better, traditional charges became uncommon after 1916.
Try to watch the video until the end. You will be surprised how the front moved in 1918.
Trench warfare will always result when there is high troop density and the "first strike" fails. That's why it is still happening now 100 years later. The Balkan and Eastern Fronts did not really see trench warfare because the troop densities didn't lead to it
It's even more shocking that the Thessaloniki front was actually decisive, its collapse literally caused domino effect to Central Powers.
You deserve so many more subs man
Seeing those numbers really makes you wonder if the world wars together really was the war to end all wars.
The Second World War was the war to end all wars
The un was created and most wars stopped happening
Only some minor wars besides Russo Ukraine
I think some people are starting to forget the horrors of war and want a 3rd instalment nuclear fallout edition
Its such a shame that after so many deaths and after such a devastating war, people still didnt learn and ended up starting an even more devastating war. And even after that, it ended up being just another war with more wars following after that.
Putin apparently doesn't think so
@@colinmerritt7645 you mean the US invasions of Vietnam Korea Afghanistan Iraq and Lybia?
Insane how that western front barely changes throughout the entire war.
Stunning, absolutely stunning.
I find it eerie and chilling that the only way we can describe the loss in a war, in as near a practical sense as possible, we must use the cold empirical science of mathematics, to stand in for human life, and yet at so great a scale as this, even this tool becomes useless, as we cannot truly understand what it tells us.
It's a very good work‼️
I’m just amazed how many troops there were 100 years ago
Those where ordinary men given a rifle and they needed to fight to survive.
Wouldn't be possible to replicate atm..
Great work
You never disappoint us
Overused ahh comment
This is very cool just liked that other vid I saw about everyday army size in ww2
Impressive and VERY important work! It gives a clear view of the military developments of the war and also of the most terrible bloodshed, this conflict took. My compliments. Remembering the victims assures, that they are still alive spiritually and did not died in vain, but for the duty of their home country. I´m German but I live in France and in every town are monuments of the residents, so many young men, almost children, that died in the wars of 1870/71, WWI, WWII and the colonial wars. But the lists for WWI French sacrifices are the longest and always makes me sad. It really should not have to be. Only why could nations so close together engage in such a terrible war, like France and Germany. I will never understand that...
The battlefield 1 music just gave me chills the entire time. Loved that game so much😭
Nice vid!
You used Battlefield 1 music didn't you? That music gives me chills every time i hear it. Such powerful music for such a world defining moment in history.

@@bunkerkorpf1440 you must have a very warped view of the ottoman people, he did not fight alongside ottoman christians there were virtually none in gallipolli, there we’re basically no one except muslim turks and a small contingent of muslim arabs defending gallipoli, and most of the massacres that happened in the empire were not related to the average conscript soldiers it was either carried out by the agents of Teşkilât-ı Mahsusa or by lynchmobs again aggravated by Teşkilât-ı Mahsusa.

It's turkophobic to talk about Armenian genocide, Assyrian genocide and Pontic Greek genocide ? For me it's just history.
Absolute art. Maybe one of the globe as well?
My great great grandfather was a Serb but fought for Austria Hungarians. They forced him. He died from his brothers in arms instead of fighting with him.
Im sorry for you and your grand father too whos father got killed in the war

Dang, that's a lot of men being thrown into senseless meat grinder on german-france front with no any progress
Good!!
Great video except that you kinda forgot Salonika front. It didnt open in 1917 but already in january 1916 when Allied forces came to Greece after the defeat at Galipoli. Serbs joined them soon, after their withdrawal through Albania. And Greeks in 1917.
This is Epic
Its impressive how little progress was made with so many people.
The soundtrack of Battlefield 1 is incredible with this video!!!
GRAN TRABAJO CRACK!!!
Another banger has entered the chat
General sacrifices 400000 men for 36 inches of land
General: ViCtOrY!?!!?!
Really interesting to see this map especially towards the end of the war. It looks like the central powers were winning just by looking at the map.
Good job for the WW1, it's beautiful, can you do a simulation of the battle of Dunkirk (Operation dynamo 1940) ?
Correction: romanian signed a peace treaty with central powers also known as treaty of bucharest after the russian withdrawal and romania's seizure of moldova/moldovia.
Just after ww1 the entente nullified the treaty of bucharest and romania later declared war on Hungary.
7:00 Germans sent Lenin to Russian Empire, he destroyed it and then Russia lost so many lands and then people in Civilian war.
But we returned back in 1945
I don't know what is Lenin,can you explain it?
@@averagedisabledman473you can Google )
@@averagedisabledman473he is a Russian communist he wrote articles against the russian empire and got exiled a couple of times, by the time World War 1 began he was in Switzerland and Germany sent him in an armed train to Russia to create another Revolution and pull Russia out of the war, he did that, but he had to solve the problems the Russian empire left behind, so while he was doing that he caused a famine and started a civil war which he won and then he created the Soviet Union and pulled out of the war.
2:56 a direct land route between ottoman and germany was connected. Meaning easier for germany to send suppliers and advisors to help the turks.
Now nobody cant say we not have video map for ww1. Amazing work, specialy with gallipoli .thank you
