How WW1 Lit The Fuse Of WW2 | Impossible Peace | Real History

The First World War claimed a life every twenty five seconds for four years. What had been the point of it all? It was believed that World War One was the 'war to end all wars'. But 20 years after the guns fell silent the war drums were banging again-louder and more lethal before. Told through archive and the insights of international historians, Impossible Peace is a story of twenty years of peace that produced war.

Outstanding documentary. 😎

Thank you for this documentary. It is true that nothing is new under the sun. Let us hope that people of all nations would wake up, show wisdom and hold onto the common sense, saying no to the new wars brewing under the surface. Let us choose life.

"Let" Americans stop funding wars on 3 other continents.

blurred out imagery, censorship ruins an otherwise fine documentary

[@jezalb2710]

Says you

[@b1646717]

It’s KZbin. How many times do we have to say it?

[@katr8756]

I totally agree!!

[@skatterbrainz]

Does anyone know where this documentary can be viewed without blurred censorship?

[@jezalb2710]

Sure

[@joshsmith4512]

television ironically 🤣

[@kriscarlson2716]

I know obviously it’s not him but that prohibition news reel announcer sounded an awful like Vin Sculley the baseball announcer 😁

[@jorgecruzseda7551]

No sound?

[@musicforatime4863]

What's with the music? Annoying!

[@gangwu4541]

The worst thing about ww1 is dissolution of the Austrian empire.

[@vmoses1979]

The Austrian empire was an artificial entity with nationalism raging in Europe - its dissolution was always inevitable and any attempt to hold it together would just result in endless strife and rebellion.

[@mattt233]

Too bad the US still hasn't learned that not everyone can function as a democracy nor want to be one. If they hadn't broken up the Empires things would probably have ended up very different. But no we believe everyone needs to live as we do.

No one wants to live like you, nor has ever wanted. Luckily, tides are finally turning.

[@jmad627]

The USA isn’t a democracy. She is a republic.

[@amer9208]

This is a repost

[@jamesbugbee9026]

The blurry parts R very informative, a good use of time. Censorship is of great use 2 civilization.

[@GnosticElohim]

Ww2 never ended!

[@kevinmcgoff2235]

Heavily censored

[@wellitsjustG]

the music all the way too is ridiculous

[@brianw612]

Germany's reparation of 33 billion US in 1921 is over a half trillion in 2022 dollars.

[@landofalwayswinter666]

It gave new meaning to the word absurd

[@kellywright540]

Blurring out images that you and your producers find objectionable is censorship. Really, enough of this woke crap already! I went to school starting in the sixties through the early eighties and I pretty much have seen what you are blurring out. The thing is, if you sanitize history for future generations, its bad parts are more likely to be repeated. Now this is an awesome documentary but stop already with this blurring stuff out. If YOU find it offensive while you are producing it, just cut that portion of the video out. 🤦‍♀️

[@michaelsmyth3935]

Um...without the blurring, the video will be demonetized. Blame youtube.

[@joshsmith4512]

it's KZbin 🙄

[@TheRealSlimshadyyyyyy]

I couldn’t agree more Kelly!!

[@CAGChannel1]

This video was not made for you tube. We are lucky it is on this platform. You tube demonetizes and takes down many visuals they don’t approve of. So, people putting such awesome content as this on this platform, need to be overly cautious and do their best to not get hit by the you tube censors.

[@vmoses1979]

What does censorship have to do with 'woke'? Why are employing that word? Did censorship not exist before 2010? I find it hilarious how 'woke' has become a meme for anything the right wing dislikes.

[@jeffedwards823]

Judea declares war on Germany 1933...

[@GeorgeLowrey]

German militarism is more to blame than any other single factor. The next most important factor was the initial feckless response to German militarism by the Allies. Lose deterrence, and you invite war.

[@florinelenaradamilea]

Nope. You weren't paying attention.

[@GeorgeLowrey]

@@florinelenaradamilea The video is wrong.

[@florinelenaradamilea]

@@GeorgeLowrey It's got its faults, I agree.
