"Indiscriminately mow down folks.." I think that's the classiest synonym I've ever heard for people killing.

[@LowescC]

not surprisingly, BBC has made some excellent documentaries that really bring home the reality of this horrific, unnecessary war....

[@stevenscalling]

Wow great!!! Please more of this!!!

[@ChristopherMarlowe]

Sal Kahn; this is a lecture from his online university - the Kahn Academy. This guy gives lectures on everything, and it's all for free. Kahn has degrees in math, electrical engineering, computer science from MIT.

[@kasualstudio7141]

Khan academy: These are some pictures of new weapons Me: Pasta? Really?!

[@cartmanoce3254]

Kasual Studio it’s pizza

[@noahbowen3499]

0:36 Why the Pizza box?LOL

[@varsega]

The better question is "why not?"

[@AirsoftMarine36]

4:05 that is a French tank.

[@TheOzTurkish]

Excelent video it would've been good to point out the connection between the aircraft and the idea of launching.them from the boats essentially creating the first aircraft carriers and spelling the beginning of the end of the battleship unless that's been covered in a separate video I'm not sure. I'm looking forward to seeing how in depth you go with this I'm fascinated by WW1 and 2, again great job

[@SiIkyJohnson]

Yes!! I love you!

[@riamin1665]

Amazing stuff, thanks a lot

[@jvry8c]

also the first appearance of flamethrowers. Another terrifying weapon.

[@spimm1672]

They can mow people down.😂 best line ever!

[@caelenz]

The amount of people here because of social studies class:

[@genesisaramosalicea2658]

I'm literally here because of it 😭😭😭

[@hugenerd97]

Honestly though

[@HisCarlnessI]

I think of the Napoleon Wars as the turning point towards modern warfare, and World War I and other wars around that time as a culmination of the changes that started then. But it's a spectrum so I suppose you can put the turning point almost anywhere you like.

[@Nersius]

Just to name one previous flamethrower used in combat, Greek Fire was used before even 400BC.

[@aepuns]

'He was still alive when the soldiers arrived at the wreckage and is reported to have said "alles kaput", which means "I am finished". Then he died. The bullet was found in Richthofen's clothing when the allied forces examined the body.' -Wikipedia

[@mehrabmiraz9869]

Nice video

[@mhrmunshi]

Nice

[@troyrgrant]

Screw machine guns... the more terrifying weapon was mustard gas

[@JAYISCOOL435]

[@troyrgrant]

@@JAYISCOOL435 11 years in the making? :)

[@charlessmyth]

Died in battle. Lives on in a pizza :-)

[@ChrisBranleh]

great video

[@nu.wa.n]

This video immediately reminded me of Blackadder goes Forth.

[@MindofScience3]

The Crimean War and American Civil War (1850-1870 time period) could be considered as the first "modern" wars. Both used "trench" warfare as used until WWI.

[@skkhammuansangngaihte4989]

Trench warfare were used in the 16th century too

[@ANSARI5X5]

Thank You Salman

[@howtonanaba]

Do Korean war please!

[@HisCarlnessI]

Well yes, but trench warfare is not the defining factor of what makes a modern war, as it isn't really used today. I was really thinking more about the turning point in how people thought about and carried out wars, with a focus on management of resources instead of thinking of things on more ancient terms.

[@joecoolmccall]

I love the concept of Kahn Academy- I guess I was just wondering if he actually had a background in the subject- or was at least a history major/professor.

[@eudaimonia97]

Thanks i didnt know how Red Baron pizza got its name

[@RandomAccount922]

Is Sal God? He knows everything.

[@b0b0maj0]

^ This made me laugh out loud.

[@xavierang6117]

[@bornfedslaughter]

Now we have a powerful FED, which makes that need obsolete for all the future free wars we'll enter, at the expense of the dollar.

[@MessedUpGaming]

Can't wait till WWII

[@IchimaruRin2332]

his last words were "kaputt" which means "broken" in english. ;)

[@numnutz1000]

Brilliant

[@MarkAkAMarkinator]

It made an angle each few meters, for the blast of grenades and other things.

[@Lightshockie]

"It made the trench a very toxic environment to work in"

[@HK-sw3vi]

they might have been using chlorine gas at my internship office, dunno

[@studolf]

Although Germans are criticized for unrestricted submarine warfare, it was the French that first utilized poison gas on the western front.

[@andrehyacintheromain6482]

4:05 that’s a French tank!!!

[@KirillOsipov_Kashimir]

"Remember the old colonialist verse; Whatever happens / we have got / the maxim gun / and they have not? Yeah, well, now everybody had machine guns." - John Green in Crash Course World History on WWI

[@mezgotrich1]

i am not smoking the trippys unless it has the grabbas!!!!

[@kennedirose5423]

It would,ve been good to point out the connection between the aircrafte and the idea of launching. them from the boats essentially creating the first aircraft carriers and spelling the beginning of the end of the battleship unless that's been covered 'he was still alive when the soldiers arrived at the wreckage and is reported to have said "alles kaput " which means "i'am finished " then he died .the bullet was found in Richthofen's clothing when he allied force examined the body .They was terrifying of the weapon was found call mustard gas rememder the old colonialist were ;whatever happens\we have got \the maxim gun\and they have not ?

[@Altarcraft]

Did world war 1 show us the introduction of the special deluxe pizza?

[@webbertee]

[@HisCarlnessI]

A pretty niche weapon though.

[@LoisGavros]

What does kaput (or however it's spelt) mean?

[@felixr.4177]

kaputt means broken in german

[@ToxicxChex]

Interesting fact, his brother was also a celebrated ww1 ace.

[@6deivid6filipe6]

Only on the internet...

[@gaziesa8371]

[@MarkAkAMarkinator]

Trenches in WWI were shaped diffrently.

[@Salvor_Hardin_42]

The Americans bought/borrowed many of their first tanks from the French.

[@goldensilverstar]

Wow those Germans are so good

[@1210sigma]

[@dirac17]

Was there a shortage of frozen pizza in the trenches?

[@Scuzza16]

Not really, Greek fire existed for thousands of years.

[@MessedUpGaming]

Hope you do realize i said world war 2 and i was referring to him making videos on it.

[@zackueoo]

[@1982rf]

Airplane? Do you mean aeroplane? Your history videos are far too generic, vague and directionless. Your maths videos are on the other hand are excellent.

[@TOTALLYANDOMNESS]

Well, just saying, but I think the fellows with the water-cooled machinegun are in a fox hole...

[@billybobjoepaulfrank]

Richthofen? Like nazi zombies Richthofen?
