World War I: Opportunity for Nazism | The Abyss Ep. 1 | Full Documentary

The First World War opened a world of chaos and devastation. But how could Hitler and his Nazism emerge at this time?
France 1940: It is the time of the Second World War and the German Wehrmacht defeats the French army in only six weeks. Adolf Hitler is at the peak of his power. But his rise to power began all with World War I, the first truly global war. Conducted with industrial weapons, the world war became an industrialized slaughter. In a four-year slaughter, 20 million people were killed and 21 million wounded.
At the end of the First World War, it is unclear: What will happen after the First World War? This is Adolf Hitler's opportunity. Originally, an Austrian artist and motorist, Hitler volunteered for the Bavarian army. The First World War boosted Hitler's own politicization and radicalization.
Watch the full documentary and learn how Hitler's power began to rise.

As i face my own mortality, i often winder what it must of been like for those soldiers on the front. Never knowing when a shell can scoop your life from you. Families destroyed over someone's else's battle. So much of those wars was unnecessary and that area is still a hot spot for war and people are just as barbaric. Sad.

[@ilokivi]

Article 231 of the Versailles Treaty refers to responsibility for the damage caused by warfare, not guilt. The reparations imposed on Germany were financed by loans obtained largely from former adversaries, resulting in repairs being paid for by Allied countries. The programme of the NSDAP initially focused on the myth of a ‘stab in the back’ by anti-war and Jewish dissidents, rather than the obligations of the treaty.

[@bbmtge]

Well stated. It is unfortunate that a single issue, reparations in this case, is repeatedly cited by non-thinkers as a most single cause. It is not true and to see historians in this documentary as so simple minded is absurd.

[@alexcarter8807]

Yep the "stab in the back" by Jews etc rather than admit the German army got beat fair and square. Kind of like the US right-wing going on and on about "stop the steal" rather than admit American voters voted for a return to normalcy.

[@suzannakoizumi8605]

germany never paid any reparations.

[@LeopardIL2]

Wodrow Wilson was said by is own diplomats: this isn't a treaty for peace but rather for another war in twenty years time. Sadly they were right.

[@leoarc1061]

Yes, but these "reparations" included costs which were never before included. The widows pensions for instance. They were never part of reparations. "...resulting in repairs being paid for by Allied countries." Germany received loans (with interest; they weren't gifts) from the USA, which it then used to pay British and French reparations, which it couldn't afford, thus resulting in insane hyperinflation. At Versailles, everyone with the minimum understanding of economics knew that Germany, with its massive loss of territory and with its own domestic problems was never going to be able to pay the reparations on the conditions which they were demanded. If you read through the 400+ clauses of the treaty, you should conclude that blame was indeed being put on Germany, or at least understand that it was dictating unreasonable demands on a defeated enemy.

[@skillz7119]

seems like a decent series, but absolutely pointless with so many scenes blurred out. Editing history down to be PC friendly is an absolute abomination and a massive insult to all who suffered and died. Anyone know where I can find the unedited series?

[@IsaRican810]

It’s not about being PC. It’s about money. KZbin’s advertisers don’t want to be associated with graphic content so KZbin highly censors/disincentivizes/ takes down content that’s not deemed to be “advertiser friendly”.

I don't understand when we went from the HUMAN race to multiple races. What's next? A white cat and a black one are two different species because one's black and the other's white?

Probably many many thousands of years ago the humans who survived the ice age who had the genetic mutation that made them white had conflict with Africans in bordering regions. Maybe even way before the ice age, I don't know history that far. Point being when there's conflict there's always an us vs. them mentality. It's in our nature. Well, take that instinct of us vs. them and apply to thousands of years of history and grudges developing and well, all of a sudden it's not such a surprise. Still equally frustrating, though.

@46:44 Mussolini was a former communist. He always remained a fanatical socialist. The fasci symbolizes strength through collectivism. "The State" representing "the people" and its control of the means of production. He was kicked out of communist party only because of his support for Italy's involvement in WWI. The Fascists may be right of communists because of their nationalistic views but always remained ideologically socialist. If there is one lesson we learn from history is that we never learn anything from history. Can we not start learning from history by leaving our ideologies at the door? 🙄
