19:16 for me also

It seems as WW1 as a whole is overshadowed by the sequel

@@rtasvadam1776 HAHA, im glad the russians(spoiler, soviets) improved then.

What do you mean? Every history class I've attended since middle school talked about Russia joining the war and falling into revolution as a result. It may not sound like much, but it's the same amount of detail given to the Lusitania and America joining the war.

@@nbewarwe Not where im from, it depends on your nation.

@@poisonousbadge126 Where are you from then? Here in the southern US, we all learn about WW1, Russia's one of the main nations we're required to remember for tests, and we all learn they left because of the Revolution by at least middle school. It may not sound like much, but keep in mind ww1 is only given a week of coverage to make time for the rest of history.

Not always, his video on the Spanish Civil War was completely biased in favor of the Republicans. He complained about the execution of captured enemy combatants during a Civil War as "warcrimes" but completely ignored everything the Republicans did, only giving it a small footnote that explains nothing.

Well actually it's still from the American perspective, but just a little more objective

Just be glad that the Goodguys always won... xD

@@CoyoteHgood guys always win History is always grey After all, the victors decide the future of our morals and therefore, what is right and wrong

@@APersonOnRU-vidXworld isn’t as grey as you think

And forget about the Libyan Front, the submarine war, the Salonika Front and the Austrian and Bulgarian advance into Serbia, Montenegro, and Albania, the Japanese conquest of the German colonies in the Pacific and China, the Mesopotamian Front, the Caucusus Front, the Entente occupation of Iran that killed two million people, basically all of Africa in general, the contributions of Thailand and Portugal on the Entente side, the Italian Front, the naval race between the Ottonans and Austo-Hungarians vs the Italians, French, and the Royal Navy, and then consider the war to be over in 1918 with near absolute disregard for the war left after excluding maybe Mussolini's march on Rome and the Beer Hall Putsch.

@@robertjarman3703 Yep, those are important too!

I think france and gallipoli

A lot more people perished in eastern european marshes and plains than you think

That’s probably because you live in the West of course all you’re gonna hear about is the Western front since it’s more pertinent to you. These events aren’t ignored in eastern countries

Especially the Czech legion stuck on the transiberian railroad fighting their way to the coast

@@scottanno8861 Czehoslovak legion

Considering many of the Etente allies fought against the Bolshivek Red Army I wanna hear what all exactly caused them to fight

@@Carpediem357Anti-communism and the fact that they stopped the war, while the whites were likely to help fight central powers.

​@@Carpediem357 the same reason that everybody in Europe declared war on France after the French Revolution, they did not want the revolution to spread.

Well, if we look at the sequence completely, then one of the reasons why the civil war began was also because the Soviets seized the government (which already outraged many because not everyone voted for them) and came to “peace” by signing a derogatory peace with which those who fought at that time did not agree moment the regiments, who, although they were tired, were simply dumbfounded by what the new government went to for the sake of peace, it rather sounded in their heads like this

​@@mitrogulf4073 всё было куда сложнее. Если упрощать и брать в пример армию, то офицеры подписанию мира недовольны, а солдаты были очень рады .

It was inevitable as soon the Czar and Russian autocracy were removed from power.

Countries/kingdoms/empires descending into civil war after losing major wars is a fairly common theme throughout history.

Agreed I love Russia very much im from Russia its the best country in the world

​​@@UsudUsud-ly9qrIndeed, Russia is the best at being logistically and tactically incompetent during wartime when it lauches an offensive at other countries!

​@@UsudUsud-ly9qrI wouldn't say best imo since putin. But it is very beautiful nation, wish I could go there

@@UsudUsud-ly9qr no

@@SteveInLava so ukraine being annihilated and going to extinction is a bad war? We will see what you will say when they will reveal their casualties

There was enough time and opportunities to stop it. What was missing was someone of sufficient stature to say "hold on, let's all just turn down the rhetoric, roll back any mobilizations, and talk plainly about what our intentions are".

@@JonMartinYXD Even if it didn't happen then, it would have still happened at some other point later down the line. There were just too many material, political, social and economic contradictions.

@@game_boyd1644 True. Without some large scale changes - eg. ending the naval arms race, abolishing monarchies, decolonization, etc. - matches would continue to get lit and eventually one of them would start the fire.

​@@condelevante4i think he meant in general not in the video

@@haotatyan Oh well then I agree. The offensive was very close to knocking AH out of the war in 1916 and had the other generals cooperated they may well have succeeded. Had that happened Germanys position is untenable. History changes.

What are you talking about? It will take another 5 years and the West will not remember who made the most significant contribution to the victory over fascism!

Not forgotten here (in Ukraine). My great grandfather was an officer in the Austro-Hungarian army. He was captured and sent to Siberia when the Russians occupied our town (in Galicia) and gave us a taste of the brutal rule which they'd come back to impose again a generation later. His village held a funeral for him, because it was inconceivable that one could survive such conditions, but, somehow, he made it back and showed up several months later. His son, my grandfather, fought the Russians in the next war.Brusilov was no hero. He also switched to the Bolshevik side after 1917 and used his persuasive influence to convince many experienced czarist officers to join in for the Polish -Soviet war. This was a good idea (from the Russian perspective), and, thanks to their relative success, although my family's home remained free, the Russians were able to capture the city where I currently live and inflict the Holodomor on it a decade later. Very convenient for them, as they gained much land and nice apartments in this beautiful place. Now, I'm here as the Russians are back to their old playbook. Yes, I'm a bit emotional about it, but you would be too if they were sending missiles at you and murdering your neighbors.

Well the average soldier on the ground on each side is going to have a lot in common probably. They are facing very similar conditions and stressors. And feel the same emotions when their friends are wounded or killed and the same fear of dying and not seeing their families again. And are generally lower/blue collar/working class men. The eastern front of ww1 didn’t have hardly any of what we’d call trench warfare. It was a very fast paced conflict with a lot of rapid movement. Not a whole lot of sitting around in trenches for months on end. So that would be a drastic difference in experiences

It's called And quite flows the Don

Советую почитать "Тихий Дон " - роман-эпопею Михаила Шолохова, лауреата Нобелевской премии по литературе. Там описаны жизнь и события донского казака Григория Мелехова (главного героя) : мирное время, Первая Мировая война, Гражданская война, Послевоенная жизнь .

It wasn't just the Germans vs the Russians. I'm Ukrainian. My great grandfather was on the eastern front in the Austro-Hungarian army. At least in our part of the country, we saw ourselves as very different from the Russians although we got along with with the Germans. One of my cousins still has a zippo-style cigarette lighter a German officer gave him as a gift. They treated us very well. By contrast, the Russians were brutish savages who looted, raped and tried to ban our language and identity (even though they were busy fighting a war). For me, Ernst Junger's perspective is much more accurate than All Quiet on the Western front. I've read both. It's a different perspective when you're defending your home and family versus being an aimless, urban aesthete as Remarque seems to have been, who doesn't care about his country or people and just wants to enjoy the high life in the capital, and who was conscripted (contrary to the book, he wasn't an eager volunteer hoodwinked by propaganda) into a war which he felt (with some good justification) was for nothing but bankers and politician's pride. So, I'm not saying it's wrong for the western front but here was different. And is different today. I don't know what German soldiers thought but for us it was an existential struggle for survival. Neither my great grandfather (based on what relatives tell me; I never met him) nor my grandfather, who fought against the Russians in the next war, ever expressed the kind of sentiments like oh, all war is stupid, or oh, we were all just helpless pawns and those guys on the other side were no different from us, or, oh, I wish I'd never fought. They hated the enemy in the opposite trenches to the end of their days. With very good reason, as we see today.

​@@michaelwarenycia7588 yes, I'm sure you do. But don't worry, the Russians know how much you hate them, and want nothing to do with you. So keep Galicia as it is: The last vestige of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the birthplace of Ukrainian nationalism.

Based

A fine example of Russian religious mythology about their supposed 'racial supremacy' that never happened in reality. (because biology doesn't care about any delusions of grandeur)

Приоритет фронтов у Германии? Не, не слышал. А потери в брусиловской операции нужно смотреть по документам (нелипович), а не в Википедии.

​@@kulrul9180so you support russian fascists?

@@Neversa I don't like overdramatization of War. Russians don't create concentration camps, don't do mass sloughtering of civilians don't wage propaganda against Ukrainian people. It's like any other war in history bigger one wants resources of smaller

The Winchester is historically accurate but I assume you already know from how you typed the correct name

It's really weird, but Simple History is more inaccurate

The Russian probably did a little thing called "using weapons captured by the enemy because they are better" and the German would be "using weapons sent by allies as support"

@@slavic_viking9638the Germans weren’t short of weapons and needing Ottoman help, it was the other way around, German civilian and military industrial might dwarfed the tiny specks that the ottomans had, the Ottoman Mauser was, as the name implies, a German rifle.

Tf are you talking about?

​@@johanbjorkman1914history repeating itself with the Ukraine war

@@OperatorMax1993 Gotta love how the media is reporting that missiles are about to run out since a year or so but they keep firing them

@@placeholder4988 they’re not “about to run out” as Russia is constantly making more. What they are doing is running consistently low and their production can not keep up with demand.

Yeah, and Ukraine is about to run out of men some time next year unless Poland intervenes.

It was the Devil deceiving him so that a path to Godless communism could be paved

It was one of the most successful offensives of the war, at least up until then, broke static warfare on the eastern front and nearly knocked AH out of the fight. Tsar Nicholas significantly limited it, but I don’t think it’s fair to say it failed. It diverted attention to the east away from verdun, helped cause German army leader Falkenhayn to lose his job and led to Romania entering the war, even if that was a double edged sword. It is hard to imagine brusilovs offensive as being that much more successful, especially since any joint offensives would fall to generals like Evert who had pretty bad records. The Russians poured in a few million men into a fairly narrow front with poor logistics. And they also suffered more than a million casualties. The brusilov offensive may have given Russia the boost to stay in the war a bit longer, but there wasn’t much way of winning it short of another million casualties on both sides and somehow keeping momentum going across the Vistula and carpathians.

But it achieved most of them

Well they think this war make so much destruction and suffering huge casualty no one really want others war they wrong.

The peace treaty hadn't even been signed before fighting escalated again in Russia, the baltics, Finland, Romania, Ireland, Hungary, Poland, Turkey, the Caucasus, and even in Germany with its constant uprisings and attempted revolutions. I doubt anyone believed for a second that the wars would end, especially when most of them started the instant the previous one stopped

​@@thea6573given the allied strategy diplomatically towards Germany, yeah they hooked they wouldn't have to go to war again

@@skyprior3866 agreed

Content for all fronts besides the Western Front seems to be comparatively sparse (in English-language works, anyway). I’ve encountered similar difficulties with the Italian Front as well. I’m always glad to see content for the lesser-discussed areas of the war!

She has not been forgotten in Russia. In fact, this is the very moment when the non-monolithic nature of society is most visible. Everyone looks differently. From monarchists to Stalinists, different parts of the political spectrum. My great-grandfather fought for Nicholas, but when the war ended he did not go to fight with the “whites” (monarchists). He did not go to fight for the Reds (Soviet). He did not go to fight for the black guard (anarchists). "I don't care, I don't care, I'm tired of fighting, I don’t know anything, my house is on the edge. My house is small, the stove is small, But not the official one, but our own legal one. You are Erema, I am Foma, you give me your word, I am those two, And I’ll stuff your piece of paper with makhorka. You are the people and I am the people, and my darling is waiting for me at home, I’ll come and agitate her. Glory to you, Lord, I shot enough, For my sweetie, I’ll leave some strength. I don't care, I don't care, I'm tired of fighting, We were soldiers, and now we’re going home. "(old song, translated into English as best I could, selected analogues for outdated words, which, however, are still used)
