Austria should of been allowed to decide after World War 1 who they wanted to join the same with other German speaking areas

[@andreas8465]

Both Austrians and Germans descend from the Cherusci tribes of Arminius, so historically, Austrians were regarded as Germans and viewed themselves as such. The Austrian lands (including Bohemia) were part of the Holy Roman Empire and the German Confederation until the Austro-Prussian war in 1866, which resulted in Prussia expelling the Austrian Empire from the Confederation.

[@Ranjanwatson]

Excellent footage and commentary. I liked the commentator's perspective. But then it is in-escapable to watch a footage without a perspective, which is often framed by narratives and visuals. If people are un-comfortable with the footage missing significant moments in recouting the events, it is but natural. There's nothing like a comprehensive documentary. We are in the better side of history, in that we know what happened to the decisions that were taken by the parties inolved and their consequences. Therefore it wise to support a perspective of peace and welfare and avoid the impulse wanting to know everything about historical events, moreso about wars.

The problem we have now is that there are no figures that move the masses so we are at a standstill. There is no individual who captures any sense of the honor to which must be restored. Robert Kennedy is the only individual in the lime light that can do something but we’re going to need more then just something…we’re gonna need a miracle. Only each individual can save themselves but as a civilization we will separate for to much mental damage has been done so will we move together as a mass of enlightened beings ready to begin.

As unbelievable as it seems, as a arm chair historian of WW2 I agree with the statement at the beginning of the video that one man was responsible for starting the war. It all comes down to decisions he alone made. Even Hermann Goering couldn't persuade him otherwise. To those who would say that the victors write the history, remember the saying, hindsight is 20 20.
