[@alvexok5523]

Yeah, it really is mind blowing, the number of people perished in that war was astronomical. Hey, just curious, is the information in these Inforograph videos mostly accurate and reliable? There are some commenters on here saying it isn't, and more people thumbs upping those comments, but who knows how intelligent these commenters and thumbs-uppers are?

[@carfo]

what's more mind blowing is that it happened on a fluke chance because ferdinand's driver took a wrong turn when he shouldn't have even been out in the first place. one 19 year old caused two world wars that killed tens of millions of people and shaped the world as we know it, so if someone ever tells you that you aren't capable of changing the world just rememeber gavrilo princip

[@jaspr1999]

My father was born in 1911. His family were forced to 'relocate' to a German community here in Texas. During WW-2, my father was already in the Navy when they got word about Pearl harbor. Because of my father being of German heritage, he was transferred to the Pacific Theater to combat the Japanese. The irony for me is that, although he didn't have a family until his 50s, I grew up around my German-speaking family, my Spanish speaking friends, and my father picked up enough Japanese to teach me a bit. As a result, I have friends all over the world that, thanks to the internet today, I'm able to keep in almost daily contact. One thing I will always be grateful for is that I ended up with a very diverse viewpoint that would not have existed had both wars not happened.

Sometimes the crucible of war has a way of bringing people closer together in their aftermath. North and South were VERY different, and far apart culturally before the Civil War. While not ALL the bad blood was shed, we are now a FAR more unified country (at least North and South) than before the war.

Yuri DeKhed Well okay then, I understand calling out people for not knowing their stuff but it’s still true, they were in a defensive alliance with Germany and Austria, which would obviously mean they can’t attack each other. Germany’s argument was that Russia declared war on Austria which was true. But Italy argued that Austria declared war on Serbia first, which is uh... not exactly true but in a legitimate enough position to be said. That in its own is worthy of being considered betrayal... but Italy sided with the Entente anyway which is definitely betrayal. And I realize you’re likely just a troll but I want to clear up the information for everyone else.

Why was the Three kingdoms of China mentioned...

[@colinwrubleski7627]

Presumably, to show why World War I, despite most people's preconceived notions, was in the video's estimation "only" the 6th-deadliest conflict on record. The video contends the 60-year Chinese Three Kingdoms war was even more horrific...I am not a historian in a position to debate or confirm that contention, but the mention of those Three Kingdons, while admittedly rather tangential to the main topic, is not without merit.

How can Germany alone have twice as many casualties as all Central powers combined? You clearly didn't check your numbers. Had to give a thumbs down.

[@jackiez3290]

They clearly didn't, by the end of the war Germany had lost approximately 7.15 million soldiers (give or take 1 million), these are counted as casualties. However a casualty does not necessarily mean the soldier is dead, rather he is unfit to serve anymore (lost limbs, missing jaws etc.), only around 1.7 million (again, give or take 100,000) German soldiers actually died (mostly on the Western front). If any army had a casualty rate that high during the war the country would've must certainly fell into chaos and revolution (like Russia in 1917).

[@Zkkr429]

You want to look at the casualty figures for Austria. Savage!

My mother told me that when she was growing up they would often have to pin her father too the floor during thunderstorms as he would, in his mind, be back in World War 2. One time when they were to slow at restraining him he threw my (at the time 7 or 8 years old) mother across the room thinking that she was an enemy soldier. Though he had trouble with flashbacks the rest of his life these hallucinations and flashbacks did lessen up as he got older. He was no cowardly man but war is terrible and beyond the understanding of those who have never had to fight in one.

To unite all Germans, and I will be doing just that. My plan also includes the USA, and my goal there is to basically bring back what Woodrow Wilson destroyed. After I'm done, German culture, German language and German patriotism will be everywhere in the USA, amongst more than 100 millions of Germans in the USA, making it the unrecognised majority.

I'm not going to lie here, the British empire did most of the work on the western front, with the blockade of Germany and a attempted assault at a potential ally of Germany and Austria-hungary. At least in northern France. The French did a great job at holding and fighting the southern front, but there were many rebellions within their ranks. Russia was a great power, but didn't know how to use power properly, it just charged across a broad front. Only until they charge across a small front did they see some kind of success. The Americans joined far too late to make a effective effort.

After listening to Dan Carlins hardcore history, I pretty much fascinated by WW1. It get's no media attention, since the USA barely touched it, but man, it was brutal. D-day was also bad place to be, with 25% chance of survival, but it was a walk in the park compared with somme or verdun. Just in the battle of somme, there were 60.000 casulties ON THE FIRST DAY, a total of 1.1 million people died, it was a meat grinder. The first 200.000 or so people had about 99.99% chance to be dead or crippled. Talk about heroic fights. Most of them never saw a enemy, just mowed down by machiene guns, mortar fire, gas attacks or land mines. In WW2 you had least a chance to see an enemy and shoot at him. In WW1? You were lying in a mortar hole, literally in toxic water and on top of about 500.000 people blown to pieces while being constantly shelled and shot at. They said the shelling was like drumming. They didn't even exaggerate. Millions of shells were fired in a short time. It's just really brutal, if WW2 bad, than WW1 must be hell on earth.

[@mroppossum4100]

Don’t forget about fucking Gallipoli

[@BabyDoIIx]

25% CHANCE AT SURVIVAL? No lol. allies had 156,000 men....around 12,000 casualties and about 4,000 dead. that meant around 2.5% died......you have the right outlook but your numbers are off. Germans lost 9,000 of 50,000 btw

[@ironfox2411]

hey dont sell it short, the US's entry in the war was the very factor that brought it to an end. The Michael Offensive in late 1918 puttered out against a now beefed up Allied Army. Since the americans had gotten combat experience under the french, and then let loose under Pershing, the German army had to face the facts that they were not going to be able to win. America didn't win the war, but we are why it ended.

PTSD was referred to as "Battle Fatigue" in WWII and "Shell Shock" in WWI. Many British soldiers who succumbed to Shell Shock in WWI had their records marked "LMF" meaning "Lacking Moral Fibre" suggesting that they were cowards. When the British intercepted the message to the German ambassador in Mexico, it was not passed on immediately as the British did not want the Germans to realise that the British had broken their main code. The Americans received the message thinking that it had been a breach of security in the German Mexican embassy.
