Watch out for storm of pissed off turkish ultranationalist trying to convince you they didn't lose the war (although they did) because of Ataturk xD

[@andrewstrongman305]

@@abbfilmann3735 Australians have great respect for Ataturk, why would you blame him for the Ottoman collapse? The point I was trying to make was that the Ottomans gave the Central Powers access to vital materials and secured their South Eastern flank by controlling the Black Sea.

[@pickymapping6098]

@@abbfilmann3735 The Young Turks & Pashas are more to blame for the destruction of the Ottoman empire by bringing them to the war rather than ataturk, even if he offically ended turkey being "The caliphate". The treaty Entente ended up giving to the ottomans would've killed the future of turkey for good had ataturk not intervined. So in short they did lose the great war, but they also rejected the original peace treaty and fought for a better outcome which they won.

Your new editing really improved the already exciting experience it has been before. Thanks and don't stop 🥇

[@exharkhun5605]

I hate to imply anything you do isn't perfect but a video like this really needs a date ticker. Your narrative is great, it's very concise and a litany of dates would be detrimental. But it would be nice if the month and year is always visible somewhere in the corner of the map. That also helps when you need to switch fronts/theaters as things can happen at the same time. Absolutely love your work. The moving maps are such a great aid in understanding the operational level of the wars, and something we never had before you guys started doing them. ❤

My great grandfather was a draftee from South Alabama in the 81st "Wildcat" Division and participated in the Meuse-Argonne offensive. He spent the last night of the war in a shell crater in no-man's land. In letters he wrote home, he said that he and a couple of his buddies were there together and too scared to sleep because they were close ebough to hear the Germans talking. We have an antique, WWI soldeir's trunk at my Grandmother's house that holds a collection of his things. These include letters, pictures, souvenirs in the form of bullets and buttons, and a "naughty" finger ring wuth a peek hole in the side. If you look into it, there's an image of a naked girl.

Great Video! Will you make a video about wars in europe after ww1(1918- 1923)?

[@RedMeteor]

Hey eastory, i've been a patron for a few years now. Just a few things I wanted to comment about the videos. While the content is great as always, I really prefered the old art style, the music, design of the map of the WW2 eastern front videos. I think a lot of others did too with the extremely high views they received. They were just a bit simpler and flowed really nicely. But yeah, the units, design, commentary, everything about those videos were just perfect. While these videos are good they just can be a little too much into the detail, quality not quantity. Either way keep it up! Will continue to support you.

[@GUYGUY_idk]

Im ok with this new style of mapping but I think the old style like that of the 1941-1945 eastern front series style was better than the current one. Still tho, cool vid and cool mapping, just hoping that one day u would return back to ur old style of mapping.

[@jarvee9407]

There is no much mapping the fronts barely moved or moved super fast with almost no battles.

[@MustachemanfromArgentina]

I liked the old Eastory where it had like every single division fighting the take cities

[@NLuck-eh5cd]

This exact time period already has a complete 3 video series in that style - this one looks like more of a overview that gives a quicker run down and more context about what's happening on the western front and how that plays back into the eastern front. So this one is a little more macro, while the previous three are more mirco. Would be nice if the title or description was a little more obvious about it, though.

[@MustachemanfromArgentina]

@@NLuck-eh5cd I can agree with that

[@Eastory]

Now the title is a little more obvious :)

[@blazeeer1483]

That mapping was at the corps level I believe. At least it was for Eastern Front. Corps -- not divisions, which I would've preferred, but settled for Corps, as it was well ahead of anything else at the time/

[@fgtm5685]

Your content could be even greater if you mentionned the actions of the Allied Armies of Orient in the Balkans, because it was a very big pressure and threat against Austro-Hungarians and prevented them to allocate all their troops to the eastern front. And also it prevented Turcs to support the other central powers. Also, US Expeditionnary Corps joined too late on the western front to have a real impact on the combats, but it was a great signal for central powers that they would lose finally.

[@theOKguy]

Hey Eastory, or the editor, I have some suggestions to do with this specific video. It seems you or someone on your team has altered the standard a bit. - Sound effects should be reduced or removed, they are repetitive, unnecessary and the audio mixing is jarring. - Simplifying the positions of army groups/subgroups (as compared to earlier videos) doesn't hurt the product in my opinion due to the broad coverage of the entire war this video is attempting. - As another commenter has said, adding dates in the corner like had been done in earlier videos would be nice. - My main issue is that the writing is slow and of noticeably less quality than previous videos... it should list city names, territories or other important objectives rather than listing "another advance, more captured..." and instead of saying "other entente nations launched their own attacks... one being russia (segue)" (9:55) you could've simply stated "Italy and Russia launched their own offensives... the russians had... (segue)" because your infographic already shows who is attacking. This mistake is repeated again around 11:32 with "the war exhaustion". The writing and visuals convey the same thing like it's trying to be a youtube short. It feels like a 15 minute 10 minute video due to the breaks in dialogue not being cut. The video isn't centered on the eastern front like the title would suggest, so a better title (in the future) would simply be "World War I - military strategy animated" or something such. Otherwise, the animation quality has improved and your videos convey military information much better than history textbooks. Your previous videos were of very high quality and informational value so I don't know what happened here. I hope you are having a good day nonetheless

[@alexzero3736]

13:25 this statement is very wrong. Read about Treaty of Brest- Litovsk more. Germany just wanted to traverse troops from Eastern front to Western to do the Kaisersclaught - the final offensive against France to end the war, as German leadership knew that they were on limited time since USA joined the war, so initial German demads in the Brest- Litovsk conference were to just draw a new border by winter 1917 frontline, so Soviets would just give up lands already occupied by German and Austro- Hungarian armies. But Trotsky refused it, as Bolsheviks expected soon red revolution in Germany, and conference ended without result. Only after that German leadership ordered overall push into Russia, so Lenin got no choice but sign a new very humiliating treaty, other way Bolsheviks would not survive. Another factor is Ukraine, UPR declared its independence after fail of initial peace talks between Russia and Germany. And Germany recognized UPR as independent state, so it became another participant of Brest- Litovsk peace talks.
