Fun fact: When the Treaty of Versailles was signed, Marshall Foch (who was present at the signing), said of it, “It is not a peace treaty, it’s an armistice for twenty years.” He was right.

[@mayankagarwal8739]

He said it because he felt that the treaty should be more harsh and France should occupy the Rhineland, so that Germans would be perpetually incapable of any revenge. So he was factually correct, but if people listened to him, Germany would have been in much worse shape

[@stxejn]

​@@mayankagarwal8739 Germany required liberating and since the Allies didn't, a failed art student was like "What have I got to lose?"

[@dm121984]

Sadly, Germany seems to have had a few leaders who knew the future but couldn't do anything to fix it - Otto Von Bismarck forecast the end of the Kaiser to within 4 months (the forecast was for about 20 years in the future). Sounds like Foch was also prescient.

The British had promised India would get independence if Indians got conscripted in the war. The number of Indians who participated in the war was immense as a result, with even Mahatma Gandhi encouraging everyone to get conscripted.

[@douglashanson7489]

How to win at Trench Warfare: (1.) Tunnel under your own Frontline Trenches. (2.) Bait enemy to attack/ advance. (3.) Pour out like Army-Ants and delete them. Long version: Build large systems of tunnels _underneath_ Your trench system, with many well-concealed entrances/ exits to the tunnels all throughout your trench system. Keep up the ruse, fighting up in the trenches, keeping the trenches fully-manned, for months, making sure the stand-off is believable, and that there's time to dig/ build the tunnels, plus enough barracks rooms and command facilities, ammunition storage, etc. Use counter-intelligence operations to make the enemy think they can pull off a major attack. You'll want their attack to be as large as possible, but not so large that they continue advancing past your first, Frontline trenches. You'll want a bit of a second no-man's land dividing your Frontline trenches with your second line of trenches that you can retreat to. If you have to, you can build the tunnels under your Frontline trenches very quickly, like Viet-Cong style. But if there's more time, then larger, cleaner, more spacious, more structurally- sound tunnels would be good, not just for troop morale, health, and safety, but also for increasing the effectiveness of quickly moving large numbers of troops, and also staging a sizeable force down there. You'll also want multiple tunnels that connect back to your secondary line of trenches, so your forces can be moved in to the tunnel without detection, stay well-supplied, and retreat if necessary. As for above-ground connecting trenches between you Frontline trenches and your second-tier trenches, you'll want to close those off or fill them in, so that when the enemy takes the bait and occupies your Frontline trenches, they won't be able to advance to your second-tier with cover. You'll be connected by tunnels, so filling-in the connecting above-ground corridors will help further-sell the idea that your line was vulnerable, and you were planning a retreat. You'll need that second No-Man's land to keep the enemy from advancing further. When the enemy advances, feign an above -ground retreat in the trenches, so that the enemy moves into your Frontline trenches in-force. Let them settle in, while lightly peppering them with small-arms fire from your secondary-line of trenches. But only shoot enough to keep them where they are. Hopefully they'll bring in reinforcements on top of their initial assault troops. All your extra troops who've been in reserve down below in the tunnels will wait for one of two things to happen, to then attack in a massive, close-quarters ambush: (1.), an enemy soldier accidentally bonks his helmet or rifle on the wall of the trench, and hears it strike wood, instead of the dirt that's covering the hidden door/ hatch, and he's about to investigate. If half of your troops below are constantly standing by, ready to pour out, then the other half that's sleeping, would have just enough time to grab their weapons and rush to their designated attack-point. If one of the concealed entrances is discovered, and this instantly triggers your ambush, you'll still have the element of surprise. (2.) If none of the concealed entrances are discovered, you can intentionally plan the attack however you like. Let the enemy get comfortable, hit them while they're sleeping, or hit them while your retreated-trench-troops have a firefight across no-man's land with your house-guests above; or hit them during an artillery bombardment when the enemy think there's no possible way anyone is crossing no-man's land; etc., whatever you want. If you can manage to prevent even a single enemy troop from escaping your ambush, you can do this more than once, and take some serious chunks out of the enemy's total forces. But your ambush would need to have enough tunnel-egress points into the trenches, to instantly occupy every last enemy soldier, so that none of them can Get a radio message off before they die. Any enemy weigh a radio would be the #1 target. That would be the ultimate battle-victory, if the enemy leadership, back behind their own lines, thought their Frontline trench-troops all died under the normal circumstances of trench warfare. They'd move more troops to the front and you could start over with the same plan. Depending on the original layout of your Frontline trench system, you could have all the tunnel entrances in places where soldiers would be unlikely to hang-out, like little, recessed, dead-end split-offs from the main walkways. You wouldn't want your ambush troops to open their concealed hatch right in the middle of a main trench walkway, where there could be dozens of soldiers within a few meters, all ready to fight. Maybe you could _only_ put rain coverings over parts of the main sections of the trenches, and do the ambush during a heavy rain, when the exposed little dead-end inlets won't have a bunch of enemy soldiers sitting around smoking or whatever. The more troops you can get through and out the concealed doors, without instantly getting shot at, the more overwhelmed the enemy will be. You'd have to get creative though, because the enemy will be using your own trench while facing backwards. So what used to be rear-wall storage-inlets, are now on the side that's facing your retreated forces. So your Frontline trench has to have at least two main, parallel trenches, so that you can count on where they'll mainly be. But if you dig these storage inlets into the front (what's originally the front) of your trench, that might look very suspicious. So your Frontline trench would have to be engineered specifically for this strategy, with a connected, parallel, rear-main trench that the enemy would naturally use to face your retreated troops. That would leave your original Frontline trench at their backs. This would've been so much shorter if I could just draw a picture!

Just like the 300 greeks hold a narrow path vs a huge army, the small swiss army + their trained and armed civilian could shut down the valleys and defend them vs much larger troops. Today besides their many bunkers in the mountains they have massive retractable barriers in the valleys to stop any army movement. Also the Alps are no easy target for any aircrafts.

That's a really cool story thanks for sharing that. Shows that not all sides are wholly good or bad.

[@camembertdalembert6323]

when the americans arrived in 1917, the first thing they did was to fight like the french and british did at the beginning of the war : huge frontal assault. It was a mistake due to a lack of experience in a moment where the french and british didn't use this strategy anymore.

That is a really cool story of compassion. You don’t hear about this kind of this very often. Thanks for sharing. 🙂

@roasted pancakes Yeah the Pearl Harbor theory is especially infuriating.

[@goldenstatewarriors9418]

We're fashionably late as usual. In fairness though, joining in WWII made a pretty big difference.

[@maxdavis7722]

@roasted pancakes doubt people would call it a warmongering nation. If it joined at the beginning of ww1 it would’ve looked the exact same as France, Russia, UK and Germany who all joined because of an alliance. Same in ww2 if it joined with the UK and France where it would’ve looked normal as protecting Poland albeit unsuccessfully.

@@maxdavis7722 Yeah, because it’s not like we get blamed and stereotyped for anything else bad that we’re involved in. (No, I’m totally not annoyed about it).

[@maxdavis7722]

@@agent_sus3273 well it does get called a warmongering nation because america has been involved in a huge amount of wars since ww1 and ww2 and has escalated the situation of every single one whilst not always achieving a great amount of things. It wouldn’t be called a warmongering nation just for joining ww1 which was my point.

I was wondering what was happening with Spain but then I remembered Spanish Influenza, and I just imagined the countries like “Hey Spain…?” And Spain like “leave me alone I have the flu!”

[@nightowl3218]

You do know Spanish influenza originated in the USA right

[@Beremor]

Spain was simply neutral at the time. Where the Spanish flu originated is unknown, but the first major outbreaks happened in Canadian military camps and spread through troop deployments into France. The press wasn't allowed to report on it (if they found out at all) so as to not show weakness to their allies or to the enemy. Spain, being neutral, wasn't under any such obligation to stay quiet, so when the virus reached Spanish cities, their press was the first in the world to write headlines over it. Thus it was dubbed the Spanish influenza. Source: Extra Credits' video series on the topic.

[@OhSkyeLanta]

@@Beremor yes that’s literally what I said. Spain was the only one willing to acknowledge they were actually sick and had something else to worry about. I too saw that very popular video by a very popular channel 🙄

[@Beremor]

@@OhSkyeLanta Apologies, didn't mean to preach to the choir! I think we came away with different interpretations: I assume Spain would have remained neutral independent of the influenza. I freely admit my knowledge on the matter is lacking, though. Have a bright day!

"This isn't Peace. It is an Armistice for 20 Years!" - French Marshall Ferdinand Foch, commenting on the Treaty of Versailles.

[@ZORO12ful]

Fun fact: He said it because he considered the Treaty to be too light. He wanted France to annex or at least occupy the Rhineland for 50 years in order to gut Germany once and for all. His words proved to be true as Germany was still the biggest economy in Europe up until the crash of 1929 when the entire world's economy blew up and went on to remilitarize to start another war.

[@ZORO12ful]

luis angel encarnacion I don't think that there's more to explain. Ferdinand Foch considered the treaty to not be enough to stop Germany from becoming resurgent and desiring revenge. It was true because, as history shows us, Germany still had the biggest economic growth in Europe during the interwar up until the Great Depression. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferdinand_Foch#Paris_Peace_Conference alphahistory.com/weimarrepublic/golden-age-of-weimar/ Just as a conclusion, it wasn't the Treaty of Versailles which facilitated the rise of the Nazis, but the Great Depression and the German revisionism from the republic which solely blamed all of its problems on the post-WW1 conferences.
