I love both sets of uniforms. The first sets of uniforms have a sense of elegance and beauty, while their successors demand power and superiority. Really shows how genius the designers were, truly evil design.
@@nicolaipetersen5675 they’re not bad guys, they don’t deserve the title of “person”. Even if they are a human, that doesn’t make them a person. Well, at least the higher ranks, the lower ranking gunmen might actually just be blinded by propaganda and are genuinely misdirected.
I love how the position kinda have a pattern to them Front position : the weakest of the group and also the one who started the chain of events of both world wars (A-H with the archduke assassination and Italian fascism inspiring Germany fascism) Middle position : the escalator of both wars (Germany helping A-H in the first world war, attacking Poland in ww2) Last position : allies to both axis and central power due to Russia (the ottoman join the central power at first because Germany promises to modernize the ottoman army and protects them from the Russian, while Japan join also because of fear of a Soviet invasion) Edit: also anybody notice that both Japan and the ottoman joins both with a surprise naval attack? Japan with pearl harbor while the ottoman attack Russia black sea coast In a surprise attack lmao
The ottomans weren’t actually ottomans, that’s right The Germans and ottomans signed a treaty when ww1 started, then some German ships docked near Constantinople. The ottomans bought them (I think) then the German soldiers disguised themselves As ottomans, who were already at war with Russia, and the Germans disguised as ottomans would THEN attack Russia I’m a history nerd 🤓
Austria-Hungary performed significantly better than the Ottoman Empire during World War I, as it was expected to do befitting its status as a Great Power. The Ottoman Empire managed one major victory when it prevented a British/French force from seizing the Dardanelles and capturing Istanbul. A blow which would have knocked the Ottoman Empire out of the war. The only reason the British and French thought it was even possible to knock out the Ottomans in one decisive blow was due to that empire's weakness. An Ottoman invasion of the Caucasus was a fiasco while they managed to force a small British force to surrender in what would eventually become Iraq, they steadily lost ground to the British. The Ottoman Empire was about as important to Imperial Germany as Bulgaria. Had either collapsed, the war would not have significantly changed for Berlin. The loss of Austria-Hungary would have ended the war for the Germans. At the beginning of the war, Austria-Hungary withstood initial Russian attacks and found troops for a less than successful invasion of Serbia, but an invasion they conducted alone. The Dual Monarchy knew it was no match for Russia alone, but by the same token, the French knew they were no match for the Germans alone. In any case, the Dual Monarchy would survive Italy's entrance into the war in 1915 and held back their offensives. When there are a dozen battles with the same name, the defenders are doing pretty well. In 1916, they contributed to smashing Serbia and, in 1917, they were part of the destruction of Romania and the final collapse of Russia. The destruction of the Italian Army in 1917 was a joint operation between the Germans and Austro-Hungarians. Had the Germans prevailed in the west in 1918, the Austro-Hungarians would have had the second most important seat at the peace conference having won, admittedly with help, on all fronts they fought. While the Dual Monarchy was a junior partner to Imperial Germany, it was as important to the Germans as France was to either the British or Russians. Despite being considered a relic of the middles ages, a multinational empire held together by religion, the Dual Monarchy fought reasonably well and held together until the end. More men ended up dying for their Catholic Emperor than died for King and Country, so if nothing else, they were suitably motivated.
No lie, seeing Ottoman walk like that while being so calm and not showing any signs of emotion gave me a huge sense of authority and intimidation..i did not say that because i'm Turk myself, it's just what it made me feel.
@@jinsonne I am and it's normal, a word of advice; at this point if a countryhumans video includes anything related to Türkiye or it's history just expect türks to be there in the comments, many of us desperately search for more videos that includes Türkiye in it one way or another after all.
I love how you animated the 2 countries flanking the one in the middle with different walking poses compared to the original video. It matches their walking style
True. But if the German empire was to walk like kaiser willhielm than his left arm wouldn't move because it was a deformed arm. And for the third Riech, he would walk with his right arm behind his back and his left in front of him. Not that I'm saying it's wrong because you can't break tradition with this meme, but just giving some info that not a lot of people knew.
I love the designs!! (and the symbolism, even if some of it could have been coincidental.) Central Powers: - Austria-Hungary started WW1 by declaring war on Serbia, so they're in the front. - The German Empire joined next after Austria-Hungary and was basically the brains of the operation, so they're in the middle. - The Ottoman Empire joined after the first two, so they're in the back. Axis Powers: - The Kingdom of Italy became fascist before Germany and also surrendered first out of the Axis Powers, so they're in the front and therefore approach the end of the timeline first. - The Third (German) Reich became fascist after Italy, was the brains of the campaign on the western front, and surrendered second out of the Axis Powers, so they're in the middle (again). - The Empire of Japan joined after the first two and was the last to surrender out of the Axis Powers, so they're in the back. Also, I am aware that these sets of three countries weren't the only members of the Central and Axis Powers. I'm just listing my observations by simplifying global involvement.
I know lots of folks mentioned this but… One of the ironic things about this meme is the fact the countries in both Axis and Central powers have the same colors (A-H + Italy being green, white, and red, Germany (which was in both World Wars) being black, white, and red, and Ottoman Empire + Japan being white and red) Another ironic thing is that both Ottoman Empire and Japan joined their respective powers during the World Wars due to their fear of Russia. One other ironic thing is that both Ottoman Empire and Japan were involved in marine battles. I think no one mentioned this but like I said Germany was in both World Wars. I’m laughing and crying rn cuz the “Round 2?” caught me🤣
@@bunnitomoe3866 Yeah for some reason i felt the Ottoman Empire wear dark red coat suited him. Even though they abandon the red color for uniform in the 19th century.
The most ironic thing is that the three main Axis Powers have the same color palette as the Central Powers. Japanese Empire and Turkish-Ottoman Empire: Red and White. Fascist Italy and the Austro-Hungarian Empire: Green, white and red. Third Reich and German Empire: Black, white and red. The big difference is that the first triad didn't start the war, it was Serbia and in the second triad Germany got mad and wanted revenge.
They may have sacrificed a lot to survive as a country, but they also gained important things, such as comrades-in-arms and friendship between countries.
Germany carrying the team because most of their allies can't do anything by themselves. Looking at you👀: Austria-Hungary and Ottoman Empire (WW1) Kingdom of Italy, Romania, Iran, Irak (WW2)
Random human: "What do you do for living?" Me: "Uhhhhhhh doing uhhh HOMEWORK AND LEARNING" What i actually do: *Watches countryhumans do Dr Livesey walk for hours*
