Hi, I have to evaluate a source (i picked this) for some history work. i have'nt never watched this and am wondering if enyone can tell me the chracters names and ranks
@TheKris006 That this source paints a very modern, revisionist view of the war and is very critical of the leadership - it follows the "lions led by donkeys" view that took root in the 1960s. Ben Elton wrote this and he is known for his liberal, slightly left wing stance. It makes some valid points - the pity of war - but exaggerates and is misleading in some other areas. The first world war was complex and there is more than one view. Treat this (very well wriiten) source with some caution.
im sorry ..i read your comment and ww1 has been war on which i have watched many many documentaries..i have a fascination with the tremendous waste of life....it was appauling..but to correct you...if ever there was a war that didnt need to be fought it was ww1,,neither britain nor germany nor france wanted in...a fatal communication breakdown and bloodlusty army generals got their way...it was all so avoidable..ben elton makes no exaggerations..a bloody fiasco it was..
@andrewkenworthy Obviously we know that now, with hindsight, but in 1914 no one believed they were entering into a stalemate that would last four years and take millions of lives and in britain's case almost bankrupt the country. But a judgement on the decision makers at the time must be made by the standards of the day they lived in and the facts at their disposal. Remember the population was behind the war throughout, despite the losses, and many generals/officers were killed.
@andrewkenworthy Given that Germany invaded France, and France could not defeat Germany on her own, how else was Germany to be removed from France but with Britain joining the war?
Of course it was a human tragedy, but no one had the foresight to understand that the war would be totally different to anything previous, and that it would kill millions. Generals simply were not deliberately intent on killing their own men, that is nonsense.
the generals didnt give a crap about soldiers..had they cared the war would have been conducted in a more humane way..they made life a living hell for their own..executing men who had shell shock ..accucing them of cowardice..sometimes only teenagers as young as 15..the whole thing was a slaughter house, a travesty, britain and germany were reluctant to get involved ..bad diplomacy and a lack of will..topped off with the eagerness of pompous general to try new weapons and tactics...
@andrewkenworthy Conducting war in a humane way? Are you for real? War is killing and always has been. How can it be humane? As for the other things you say, it is the typical popular myth without bothering to do any research. You do realise that a tiny % of death penalties were ever carried out, and many of them were for murder etc which carried the penalty anyway. Generals developed tanks, gas, etc to reduce casualties, it was not in their interests to lose their men, obviously. Wise up.
humane as in ..not sending men to certain death without them even getting a chance to fire their weapons,stupid bastard generals were fighting a war of attrition with the germans...tanks ..yeah tanks that drove over and crushed their own injured troops..ordered to go just straight,i own the ww1 series and have watched it diligently,you think war is necessary..listen to harry patchs comments just before his death. ask any veteran what they thought of it...from both sides.
@andrewkenworthy Again, you are falling into myth. Actually, the war saw huge technological advances - the british army of 1918 was entirely different from the army of 1914, and it attacked with tank, artillery and aerial support, developing into a modern army and learning its lessons. All historians agree on that, whatever you think about the Somme. It is nonsense to argue that generals deliberately wanted to see all their men dead as they would lose the war. Seriously, wise up.
ok..for a start i didnt say generals wanted to see all their men dead, i said they used human life wastefully,,monumentally wastefully, if you wanna defend them and their idiocy...thats your stand,the bristish army as in the second ww1 would have been fucked without the canadians and yanks..at the end of the war germany was tearing up their tram tracks to make bullets even manhole covers being used..germany ran out of men and munitions,and food,otherwise war would have gone on...
@andrewkenworthy Seriously, if you want to take a black and white, simplistic view, that's fine, but people a lot brighter than you spend their lives studying this period because it is very complex. It is just too easy to say "all the generals were mad". It fails to accept that major advances were made in technology and lessons learned, that helped to win the war.
Canada and the US's role in WW1? what exactly do you mean? They contributed fewer men and suffered fewer losses than Britain
you know..you keep insulting me..experts on the period..you mean people who have also watched lots of documentaries..theres an expert for everything nowadays.you seem to like war,,you should go to somalia for a while..techonological advances..wtf..i suppose your going to tell me ww2 was necessary too..and britain would have won that without help ..i cower down in your awesome knowledge of all things earthly..my mistake..the general were all just brilliant..no fuck ups..my mistake.
@andrewkenworthy No, not pop history documentaries! I mean leading academics like Bourne, Hussey, DeGroot, Simkins, Harris, Badsey etc who recently presented papers at a conference on the subject of Haig/the generals. There are always two sides to every argument, of course mistakes were made, but it is a gross simplification to simply label every genreal an idiot. Heard of De Lisle? Even Rawlinson learned and developed tactics at Amiens 1918. Of course there were mistakes, obviously.
@THthefirst pop history..the history of ww1 isnt as muddled as other conflicts..think about it for a moment..what happened..let the scale of the slaughter of good men on all sides..lions led by donkeys its been said, the civilians murdered, the propaganda, the atrocities. and youll realise it was just utter madness, bloody utter madness, it nurtured adolf hitler..i study conflicts..and the bitch queen wont pardon executed shell shocked soldiers so their familes can feel better..anyway.....
We do take a view that has the advantage of hindsight and we tend to imose our modern, politically correct sensibilities on a very different world with some different values, almost 100 years ago. Remember that at the time, the public support for the war - even taking into account the huge losses - did not waver. Yet in 2001, the country was massively divided on a tiny war (by comparison) in Iraq. The lions v donkeys view only took hold in the 1960s, and there is much debate still.
Out of interest, what would you have done to remove German troops from France in the Somme area in 1916? There were no tanks available of any use, no aircraft to offer a realistic supporting role. Just artillery to try to soften up the trenches (which was attempted) and sending men to attack. In those circumstances, what would you have done differently to remove Germany from territory it had taken by force?
Second, have you read any of the (very interesting) works to which i refer?
at the time the somme was fought the war had no direction,no one knew what victory would consist of, it was bogged down stalemate trench warfare, the german public had already had enough, to keep throwing men into machine gun fire didnt win the war, germany realised she couldnt sustain it, germany wasnt beaten but stood down..before anarchy reigned in the fatherland. i would have done nothing..being sucked into a war of atrition was madness, hold the line without attacks..
@andrewkenworthy germanys plan in verdun failed, the game was up..unsustainable losses, just as russia bowed out under revolution, the same illfeeling towards the war was festering in the fatherland, but alas those crazy german and british generals who gave orders from cushy castles chose to call everyone cowards but themselves..as for the books,i might have read a different stages of my life...authors names i dont remember...anyway it was nearly a hundred years ago..and no ones learned from it.
@andrewkenworthy No, the point of the somme was the opposite to what you say - it was to give it direction and a major allied offensive was aimed at winning the war. Many historians and indeed Ludendorff himself cite the Somme as a major reason for Germany's defeat. As for doing nothing - are you serious? You would simply allow hostile German troops to occupy French territory for what, decades? That is no solution at all. The generals had to prosecute the war, to achieve victory, obviously.
again i clarify..its hard to say what would have happened, was easier to defend than attack, thats for sure, no major adavances in warfare were made during ww1..but they sure were very evident in german tactics during the start of ww2 or as i call it ww1 part two....the hostility is not was not in the troops ..they didnt care to be there..except hitler o ff course,who was a maniac,the hostility lay in general and governments attitudes,to say it couldnt have been resolved without
warfare is to accept there is no hope in humans."were here because were here because were here because were here" they sang..knowing full well it was all bollox,,the british tommies,,and irish ,,im irish,..you might mock black adders version of history and claim its was all much more complicated,,but it does show the insanity of it all..i dont like warfare...anyway this could go on forever..im off to the sauna...ive more present day worries to dwell about.....
@andrewkenworthy You seem to have a simplistic view of the whole thing - you do realise that millions of british troops volunteered and were not conscripted? As for advances in warfare, again, have you not actually read or studied this? The tank was developed and air power used at Amiens in 1918. Why don't you know this? The German Spring Offensive 1918 used stormtroopers/blitzkrieg - again, why are you unaware of these basic facts? And defending was more costly - go and look at Verdun 1916
i havent said it till now, but youve said it yourself, german forces bar their navy,,were superior and better trained than the other armies, the tank was a failure in ww1..the aircraft hadnt come into its own till ww2..the tactic of sending men into oncoming enemy fire lasted until the last shot was fired, verdun..a victory of sorts for the french and catastrophe for the gemans,we are different in our views of things,my view is simplistic as far as im agaist violence in all forms..
@andrewkenworthy I am afraid I have reached the end of the road - you don't deal in facts or details, just your own simplistic view of things. Regardless of the points I make and the examples to which I refer - generals such as De Lisle, battles such as Amiens 1918, which clearly refute your arguments - you resolutely ignore them. The fact you end with such a childishly naive sentence, without any understanding of the sad realities of life, says it all. End of debate. Best wishes, T
you know,instead of reading the books of armchair experts who werent there and will never know the true horror of war,just facts and statistics keeping war sterile,so people can talk tactics like its a game of chess, listen to the interviews of regular soldiers,people who really didnt want to die at all,it saddens me you cant see how futile it all was,the british propaganda machine would have given a lesson to goerbels,such crap they spewed to get men to join..
@THthefirst ive just watched ww1 from above, its here on you tube, i reccomend it to you, truly touching on a human level,its too late to talk tactic about that war now, but attitude towards war has to change, its a repulsive practice,how many died needlessly fullfilling the fantasys of cowardly generals and kings,but alas soldiers are hired killer, the true innocents were civilian deaths,especially the murdering of children,the genocide of the armenians,and all for what.
