Won a Judge's Award.
After World War I, the Treaty of Versailles was convened to end the state of war between Germany and the Allied Powers. Initially comprised of the five major victors, Japan and Italy soon left the negotiations. Japan had been refused a racial equality clause, and yes, Italy did turn traitor on Germany during the course of war. With just the "big three" left, it was decided that Germany must take the full blame for the war, including the price thereof. France, having been left weak after the devastation of the war, was mainly interested in security, England's chief goal was economic reparations, and America took a conciliatory approach in the proceedings. One of the clauses in the agreement also led to the formation of the League of Nations, which the allied powers hoped would prevent war in the future.
Of course, it was in the aftermath of the devastating treaty- a treaty which robbed Germany of its dignity and any hope of prosperity- that the country took arms in war again, this time with Italy and Japan as the Axis Powers.

This is exactly why I think Himuyara should do a dark!Hetalia spinoff with episodes that last longer and that give us a clear view on what it is like to be a nation. it would be the best thing in the history of forever.

[@jazzynice9]

It WOULD be the best thing!

[@kimmiewise1044]

Yeah especially about things from Germany’s perspective. A lot of people wanted to blame the Germans for both World Wars and completely misinterpreted what the Germans believed in just to make all of them appear evil and the exact same thing is being perpetuated again with the accusations of neo-Naziism rising. In the dark spin off he could go into the darkest parts of each nation’s history and explain what those countries believed in and thought of at the time from a neutral perspective instead of casting retrospective judgment on them. This skit actually shows this. A lot of people believe that Hitler rose to power BECAUSE he was anti-Semitic and the Germans were already anti-Semitic so they put Hitler into power knowing he would kill the Jews. But that’s not right and this skit actually shows the reasons why Germany (and in our world the German people) gravitated to Hitler. While Hitler was definitely anti-Semitic, anti Semitism wasn’t exactly a German exclusive phenomenon. France, England and America also have a lot of history of anti-Semitic sentiments, for example France in there was the Dreyfus affair which effected Jews all over Europe. During The Great War, there was also some anti-Semitic propaganda that came out of America as well as antisemitic speeches and demonstrations around New York and Washington DC. In England there has been a lot of religious unrest for centuries which Jews were always caught in the middle of. So it’s not like Germany was special when it came his people hating the Jews. Hitlers personal antisemitism was just a fraction of the idea that planted itself in the German people and the Treaty of Versailles was like industrial grade fertilizer to the idea. The Germans believed that they were being attacked culturally by other nations. That they were being blamed for the war simply because of the fact they existed. And this angered the Germans, especially German veterans who felt completely betrayed by their Chancellor who signed the Treaty without any input from his parliament. Because of the blame clause, Germany felt like his service to defend his allies was completely spat on. He might have been on the opposite side of the conflict but you don’t disrespect a man’s service. No. Matter. What. Add that the years of economic struggle in the wake of being war torn and then paying back the ENTIRE WAR DEBT YOURSELF and THEN to try to buy time you try to make more money but accidentally create inflation instead. The Germans were pissed and rightfully so. They were completely mistreated in the treaty and Germany resented the hell out of the Allies for his suffering. But the politicians of Germany wanted to appease the UN and none of them even remotely considered trying to repeal the treaty in fear of retaliation from France and the UK. But one man, a war veteran and a German patriot, stood up for the people of Germany and vowed to put the German people first before any bogus peace treaty. He was a great speaker as well and invoked the strongest sense of nationalism ever seen. Even more than America today. Hitler talked mostly about the treaty at first but then about the troubles that the government was causing by putting other interests before the people’s. The Nazi’s were socialists by the way so Hitler really hated capitalism since it put the business owner before the common worker (the German citizen). So imagine Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders having a Nationalist Socialist love child and that was Hitler. Germans loved all of this more than anything since Hitler promised to end the economic struggle with socialism and put their needs first by being the common man. He promised utopia and utopia was what they really needed at the time. More so when the Great Depression hit and cut off their last crutch to sanity which was taking loans from America. When America went south, Germany believed he had no choice but to start taking back what he thinks is his to get on his feet again. Germany thought this was the only way out. Like a man at suicide with the gun to his own head, there’s nothing left but to pull that trigger and invade France. Germany did so and no one intervened. When Rhineland was captured the German people rejoiced and their nationalism grew stronger, Hitler consolidated power using his victory as an excuse to continue. Continuing to convince Germany that what they were doing was making things right. Taking back Austria against his will as pay back for abandoning him in the Great War, and soon expanding Eastward to the Former Prussia. Germany just wanted his family back really, all the land and people that once belonged to him, all of the greatness he use to be before the Great War. And in the East was Poland. Poland, the one place the rest to Europe told Germany not to go. And he invaded. It was almost like a statement to say. “When I said I wasn’t at fault for the war, you didn’t listen. Are you finally listening now?” And the world plunged into war again. The anti semitism began to crawl out of the wood works and to conserve what little victories he had, Germany gave the Jews his burdens. Blaming them for any negative results of his grand scheme. But all in all, he was running on the fumes of fear. Germany was terribly afraid of being bullied once again by the Allies into poverty. He he got bigger and bigger so they couldn’t bully him anymore. His head got bigger but his mind did not. All of the pride was destroyed at the Battle of Berlin. And he was completely broken down at the very end. Because he was scared. He was too scared to see what he was doing. So scared he would loose that he couldn’t be satisfied winning once. He had to win it all or in the end he lost. He would be doing nothing. That soul crushing fear drives people insane. And it drove Germany right into the one of the most horrific war times in the 20th century. His anger, his contempt, his fear, his pain, his suffering...It’s not a justification. He shouldn’t have lashed out this way. But being in that position, I don’t know if I...As a human being...Would do different. Knowing how fragile and sensitive I am. There are so many other dark histories that have alternative perspectives. America has his civil war and maybe we can switch between the Union which is America and the Late Confederacy. How young the Confederacy would be compared to America and how the Confederacy just wanted to leave and live on his own even if it was immoral. That tough time where America is fighting his own brother, his own flesh and blood like so many during the war. How the Confederacy died seeing his land and people completely destroyed by Sherman on his March to the Sea. The pain that the South went though and America healing his own wounds to show the War restoration that was attempted in the years following. Japan has his own dark past too with the rape of Nanking and his imperialist itch that he inherited from the westerners. So much dark history that could seriously make these characters so interesting as well as show a whole different perspective to thinks we once thought were cut and dry.

[@suilarot]

kimmie Wise History classes in half an hour. Excuse me, how long took you write all that?

[@kimmiewise1044]

AifoS LaroT How long? Maybe 45 minutes to an hour.

[@goob3898]

Italy and Germany though, they got the feels.

[@yoscastgirl]

This feels like a movie trailer.

[@ivypeoples3404]

+Felenciana Vargas I'd watch it

[@ivypeoples3404]

+Felenciana Vargas I'd watch it

[@diericlai3902]

Plspls I want the movie

[@happyanimalgirl2958]

It really does

[@poppywinarti2963]

They should make a movie about this

[@Shreya-to7ec]

Ah, this was absolutely AMAZING! Just one thing to point out - America called it the "First" world war in the beginning, but they didn't know there would be a second war, so they just called it the great war. This gave me chills, the Allied speech and the Axis together, this was absolutely amazing.

[@flour-ilikepasta-garden5338]

Wow, this is more historically accurate than the show!

[@jazzynice9]

I WANNA SEE THIS IN A MOVIE OMG IM GONNA CRY

[@hobali5171]

Britain: "In case another nations tries to take over the world again." Me: Sealand would and will someday...

[@lemonadas381]

In the end, everyone who watched this were all like, "WHY THE FUCK ISN'T THIS A MOVIE?"

[@koilynn304]

That was the most intense Hetalia cosplay skit ive seen! Awesome! -Admin

[@davenoel3982]

That was awesome. I feel bad for Germany though.

[@koilynn304]

Yeah... And that part with Italy was sad ;3;

[@davenoel3982]

Ok. I almost cried. ;-;

[@koilynn304]

yeah... *hugs*

[@davenoel3982]

*hugs back* but it was still cool.

[@butterflyutonium1661]

We're learning about The Great War in History. Italy spent one year in the Central Powers before changing sides.

[@MarcyStevonshy]

This is so intense! They should seriously make a movie about this! This could be one of the best trailers EVER!

[@belarusarlofskaya1026]

When I saw Germany tied up and blind folded I freaked out. I through my phone and started to say over nononononono.

[@jazzynice9]

I'm barely learning about WWII and the causes... I'm so glad I knew Hetalia last year just in time for this!

[@duckydae]

I get that it's a bit late but this Skit was based on the aftermath of WWI not WWII that's why they start preparing if it were to ever happen again - meaning WWII.

[@borghi998]

No, this video refers about WWII when Italy and Japan were Germany's allies

[@Sipu97]

No, this video is about WWI. Italy was Germany's ally in the first world war too but joined the allies. The League of Nations was founded in 1919 in order to stop these kind of conflicts before they even started.

[@frostycap]

If only Hetalia episodes were as serious as this..

[@icepops25]

I can't even put it into words I just want to scream. This was so clever and beautiful. And very very Feely. I want to scream XD

[@TheOtakuWisher]

[@sociallyawkwardnerd1617]

[@EvilCookie1442]

When Germany was like, "There will be war.", I seriously got a huge shiver down my back. I love this skit.

[@GhostingIcarus]

[@desolatedaisies]

[@kimmiewise1044]

[@anthropophobia2069]

Germany: "they will be war (dramatic music) *Italy, Japan, Britain, America and France put there head up* Me: *faces wall dramatically* sister: Why are you facing the wall Me: SIS DONT RUIN THE DRAMATIC MOMENT

[@lavenderotaku2481]

[@aWERFRGT6545BGFG]

so let me get this straight in ww1 everyone got mad at germany for starting a war...even germanys allies so italy and japan betrayed him then in ww2 they came back to germany and they all became allies again ? EDIT Just noting here, I wrote this 3 years ago..I was 14 back then and didn't know much. I think I was trying to imply that wow italy and japan were with allies in ww1 then in ww2 they were with axis and I was saying that everyone assumed germany started the war and blamed them for that when really it was Austria-hungarys fault. Anyway I understand how ww1 went now, thankyou to everyone in the comments for explaining it !

[@ImBlueDaBaDeeDaBaDaa]

No. Germany didn't start the war in WW1. It was started between Austria-Hungary because their Archduke Franz Ferdinand, nephew of Emperor Franz Josef and heir to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, along with his wife were assassinated by the Serbian nationalist Gavrilo Princip. Austria-Hungary got Germany's alliance and together they declared war on Serbia. And then all the other European countries got Into the mix because: They were dragged into it, or they wanted more land/ status/and/or greed. Japan and Italy joined the first World War because they had a common goal; to secure their own specific expansionist interests among other things. Japan gave an ultimatum to Germany and when Germany did not respond, Japan declared war on Germany. While Italy, though having a reluctant alliance with both Germany and Austria-Hungary because of a fear of France and England taking their territory and newly gained independence, switched sides when Britain and France offered Italy Tyrol and Trieste from Austria. But the Allies didn't really hold their end of the bargain after everything was said and done. So both Japan and Italy got the short end of the stick in that. And then when WW2 came around, they became Germany's allies because, lo and behold, their common interest were the same again. More territory among other things. But all this is what I read on the internet, so if there is anything wrong, then I apologize. Most likely I got something wrong since I only researched for about an hour or two for this info. Edit: I went back to correct my mistakes. A couple of hours of research and I still made mistakes. (-.-;) *Le sigh.*

[@aWERFRGT6545BGFG]

Eden Blue thank you so much i just didnt know this cause i havnt learnt it yet but than k you for writting this whole thing even if it is wrong or not :D

[@casosullivan639]

MissesKitty Italy and Japan were never allies with Germany in the First World War, Italy was with the allies

[@ImBlueDaBaDeeDaBaDaa]

Claire PlaysYT Thank you so much for commenting so I could go back and correct myself! I'm on mobile, so I couldn't do so before, so thanks! Lol ~

[@casosullivan639]

Eden Blue no problem im doing GCSE history, also italy was a memeber of the league of nations. the league of nations consisted of italy france england and japan. america didnt want to joing the league because the war would put a bad reputation on them and use up all of there supplies and money. that is why england and france went bankrupt, they had to owe money back to america because america lent them supplies for the war. hope this comment comes useful!! \|^-^|/ also it was caused by the germans assassinating franz ferdinand!

[@maxmaus9888]

IM SCREAMING

[@blueseer]

The ending of his always gives me chills. I love serious Hetalia and wish there was more serious skits in general. You completely deserved the award for best acting.

[@xConquistadora]

Huge bonus points for using Globus as background music= that is some of the BEST immediate music to use for skits like this. Not a lot of Hetalia skits are serious and well done, so this definitely deserves that given award!

[@femromanoplayz2348]

this made me want to slap Germany for making Italy feel bad lol

[@Rain_VA_VODS]

I freakin love this!!! specially the ending! freakin pastamazin!

[@Kambroski]

You guys were freaking amazing! My friends and I had chills! When ya'll were done, we started clapping and just kinda turned to eachother in like, complete awe! Best skit A-kon's ever seen!

[@TheAudaciousApple789]

the timing with the music is so perfect... and i luv the person who yelled "go england!"

[@smoshhasmyheart5974]

No matter how many times I've watched this, I always get the chills

[@eternalights]

still one of the all time best hetalia skits I have ever seen. I'm so happy I found it

[@LadyAmanita]

It took me a second to recognize the music, but yes, I love Globus! And this is proof that dramatic skits, or skits referencing real world history can indeed be awesome.

[@hetaliafordummies9372]

Germany was so badass in this

[@vanikolya9193]

OMG I WOULD WATCH THIS IF IT WAS A MOVIE-

[@devinpolley]

i have never seen a hetalia skit done like this before it was so serious and dark not funny and silly like they usually are i couldnt help but want it to continue even after it was over

[@cosplayer-to-be6613]

This will never not be awesome. I always fangirl so hard at this and its so amazing!!!!!

[@darkmousyjen]

This is so amazing! I was like ITALY NO HOW COULD YOU!!! That part made me cry. This is probably the best Hetalia skit ever!

[@Werewolf91]

Wow. Just...wow. I haven't seen any skits about this subject before, I love how you used the elements, like the music, it fit perfectly with the concept. Amazing!

[@GraceSolar]

you guys are truly brilliant. this was so amazing to watch

[@Soulhin]

This is by far one of fav hetalia skits! It is a dramatic representation of the result of WWI and the lead up to WW2. Very well done it stirred up quite a bit of emotion

[@fitzerin05]

Nooooooo Germany 😖

[@TamChronic]

Wow, this is actually quite good. The acting is much better than what is usually seen in cosplay skits, particularly Germany and Italy's interaction. You didn't do a bad job with the accents too, which is lovely to seel. Well done.

[@xXmusicxloverxX100]

Three words A-MA-ZING! It's a refreshing change from all the humorous cosplays! Well done!

[@DancingNinja77]

This was so cool for me to watch because I leanred this is history class! We put so much time in to this specific subject and this is just amazing to watch and be able to connect!

[@RETSoldja]

That came out awesome! Thanks for allowing me to be a part of it! It was truly an honor.

[@PrussiaFan]

I love this skit so much. I love the funny skits, but this is serious and it is my new fav cosplay. Germany made me feel so sorry for Italy when he said Feli betrayed him. I just wanted to hug Feli so much. I do admit that is the Germany cosplay I have ever seen.

[@anangoohns]
