The Collapse of the German Empire: Every Day 

Apologies for the reupload! One of my label slides was out of order and it threw off a third of 1919 so I had to fix it. Anywho, enjoy!

I like how Poland is having a side quest fighting Russia in the back ground.

I think it's sad that the story directly following ww1 is rarely discussed, it's just "Germany capitulated and now ww1 is over" But the fighting continued and treaties took months to negociate, which we often forget

When you accurately portray the Polish-Soviet war by accident

This is actually a rarely mentioned part of history and you've made a pretty good job in making it. Keep up the work 🙌

I didn't realize what a mess post-ww1 Germany was, I might see if I can find a book or something on it now. Thank you for teaching me history that is often overlooked!

The german name of "Bott. Rep." (=Bottleneck Republic) is "Freistaat Flaschenhals".

Collaps of ottoman empire would be intersting

"The second partitioning of Poland: every millisecond"

Political turmoil in Germany: *exists* Bavaria: I better get outta here

It's interesting how people have this idea of everyone being sick of fighting after witnessing the horrors of war and then things being different over night when in reality there was another three years of all sorts of wars.

Monarchist be like: "I wish that I could turn back time, cause now the guilt is all mine."

Its cool to think that the German Empire and the Weimar Republic technically co-existed for about 27 days

1918-1933 Germany become China Warlord German edition

Very interesting. And it shows how the "end" of the war on Nov. 11, 1918, wasn't really the "end" of the war for a whole lot of people.

2:00 "nothing bad will come of this, i'm sure" - the French, probably

I liked that you added the bottleneck Republic nice detail

Neat! Didnt know there was an independent Bavaria in 1919.

I had the colors mixed up for a second and was very curious as to what the Bavarian Peoples Republic was up to in France

I like how you made also Polish-Bolshevik war animation

I love how the Saxon Soviet Republic just kinda chills there for a whole year.

The Poles where hardcore dude during that time

Your videos are gold.

3:00 Poland with the clutch

1 small detail is lacking: plebiscit in Warmia and Masuria 11.07.1920.

It's also war of independence of Poland after 123 years of partitions. Even Polish-Russian war is visible :D

I am not crying there is a Christmas Truce stuck in my eye

where werr you when Kaiserreich was died? i was eating Makrelen when phone ring "Kaiserreich is kill" no

way more chaotic than i thought it was. Great video!

The German and Polish border was like the cold war each spying on the other from 1902 to 1936 true fact

Very interesting and informative Video! Well done!

This video pretty much nails it all down! Great Work! I just would like to add that the Rhein and Ruhr regions were occupied by France *after* the inflation in 1923 because Germany couldn't pay the reparations. They were not occupied from the beginning on

i literally never get tired of these videos even after watching them 10x-20x

I HAVE BEEN WATCHING YOU FOR 4 YEARS AND I LOVE THE CONTENT THANKSSS

Two mistakes: First Silesian Uprising has bad location Third Silesian was against German, not Allies

Im so interested in the interwar period but can rarely find videos about it. Thanks for the great vid, gave me some good background info If anyone has any videos / channel recommendations please let me know!

Poland is like: I reborned again

The border gore of the German states in Germany hurts my brain

I am obssesed wit your videos. thank you for the dedication

"I guess I'm just too tough to cry"

After seeing this video and seeing the actual expansion of Interwar Poland following November 11th, 1918, it would be nice to see a Every Day video on the (Second/Interwar) Republic of Poland [November 11th, 1918 to October 6th, 1939], and maybe the (Regency) Kingdom of Poland [January 14th, 1917 to November 11th, 1918]. Too bad it hasn't been made yet (Best thing right now is every year.)

you know you're early when you see the first upload before the re-upload

I love this guys channel keep up the great work love your vids :)

Loved this one! We try to preserve history too!

music: kevin macleod - killers (btw, does anyone know why kevin macleod's youtube channel was closed)

The Silesian uprisings are kinda fuzzy, and the 1st one is not even in it's supposed location i'm pretty sure. There's a map of them on the polish wiki version and on google images and they only lightly differ territory wise, great job on the video though!

Very instructive

The stuff I learned from this video... Among your best.

I like the animation of czech-sudeten civil war. This part of history is rudely erased from czech history learn-books, but very clearly explains the coclusion of 1938.

Nothing:you win ,,who wants to be a millionaire,, you live in Weimar republic 1923.

Thanks.. Great content

Look how they massacred my boy!

0:08 What is the name of the song?

It's hurt every second of it, but nice video

I HEAVILY reccomend "The Iron Dice" podcast. They finished a multi-episode run covering these events just this year.

good job EmperorTigerstar 10/10

Emperor Tigerstar: *uploads* Me: *The return of the King*

4:01 RIP Free State of Botteneck :,(

Fascinating. I did not know about this.

Had NO idea all of this happend, makes you think about how much we could have missed in history

Next vid: The Collapse of the United States: Every Day

Yeah, 1918-1920 was really messy in Europe.

Quite interesting. I wish it was longer.

0:20 top 10 anime betrayals...from bavaria of all places

My heart, it hurts

Wait why was there's a civil war in Bavaria at 1:10?

I would love some documentation about this period in history. Not only in Germany, but also the similar collapse in Austria Hungary. There's basically no documentation on what exactly was happening, and if anyone has any, please link some in the replies to this comment.

0:16 that yellow dot in the north is like 5 miles from where I live nice

Very nice :) i wish there was an insert for berlin but that could be an entire video on its own to be fair

*0:24** Rest In Peace German Empire...*

Great Video

This hurts...

The time Germany almost became Yugoslavia

I am in tears, there is no fun in this video, just pain

I love that you included the „bottle republic“

In 2:43 Germany is losing part of its lands to Denmark (15 Jun 1920). But there is no information as to why.

Wilhelm II was a fool in every sense of the word. He ousted Bismarck and put Germany in a terrible position.

Such a pleasant view!

I been wanting to make this a long time but don't now exactly how anyways, good video!!!

A very interesting video, thank you for this one on a so unknown part of the history of Europe.

Dad: "son, why are you crying so damn loud?" Son:

Did not realise there was a brief Soviet Alsace-Lorraine, or the Poles seized all of Posen province, or there was a communist uprising against the Bavarian republic, or the Poles fought the Entente in Upper Silesia. Amazing.

Thanks for the video. Hope you make the Austrian version from the end of WW 1 until the Anchluss.

I like how Poland is fighting a deadly war with the Bolsheviks in the background

Allenstein polish here saying hi

"Promise you won't cry?" "I promise"

Poland: The German and Russian Empires have collapsed! Our time has come, boys. *Germany and Russia reform with completely opposing ideologies* Germany: Hey dude, even though we utterly despise each other and will inevitably clash in brutal fashion, why don’t we dunk on Poland one last time? Russia: Of course, bro.

Greetings from your old ally, Turkey. My German brothers.

Now, this is epic

Saddest video in the world

4:03 And they all lived happily ever after. The end

Very cool!

I will not cry... I WILL NOT CRY...

Miracle on the Vistula cameo 3:05

Blessed video

These are actually interesting, because the weird time periods of both eras ending and starting were at 1919.. and that's also where the world kinda burned for a bit at a fast pace..

3 days until 150th B-Day of the German Empire!

why did the video get removed and reuploaded

Bavaria couldn't click that declare independence button fast enough, typical lol.
