  • Dumb bastards. We see the results of the WWI and II today, the almost complete destruction of Western Civilization. This was the ultimate plan concocted by the "House of Rothschild" and the International Jew bankers. Germany was the bulwark for the West and had to be subdued. Hitler and the 3rd Reich fought valiantly but was overrun by the whole lot of brainwashed tools. The only winner as we see today is Communism, the Jews and the bankers. The people must now fight to save Europe and America.

  • Very good music, very good pictures, do not forget!

  • Sorry, I didn't mean to vote down feurzug's comment. The one above it.

  • americas become of an empire.

  • you know the last ww1 veteran alive died months ago right?

  • Looks like archduke is wearing Paul mccartneys sgt pepper outfit haha

  • I agree, putrid!

  • The soundtracks is horrible.

  • @SatanicDoomElf dude its 1900's music it fits with the pictures , did you want a disturbed soundtrack ???

  • @lordpatrice I can do with old music, what I cant do with is music that sounds like its being projected from a homeless man's ass.

  • @SatanicDoomElf you got a point there, it made me laugh when I read your comment :) thumbs up!

  • where's chuck norris when you need him

  • I think it's a shame that so many people leave nasty comments about other countries/cultures. At the end of the day millions of PEOPLE went to war and a great deal of them never came home again. They were sent there by governments who acted for their own means. Most PEOPLE didn't have a choice, either fight or be shot as a coward. WW1 was one of the biggest, needless wastes of human life in history. They should never be forgotten no matter which country they hailed from. Brave men all of them !

  • eyh eyh eyh eyh me plus you i'ma tell you one time.

  • The nazis were not in world war one

  • Comment removed

  • yup the nazis were useless in the wars

  • @dannylamb456 yup. The Nazis were so useless that it took the combined efforts of the biggest and most industrialized nations on earth to defeat them.

  • All*&%$@#!^& aside! GREAT vid depicting all countries with their music of the period, esp. the Italians. My gramp fought the Austrians in The Alps. He was w/ the 65th machine gun Reg't of Alpinnes. Fix bayonets! Give 'em cold steel boys! "We're going o'er the top!"Whadya' wanna live forever?

  • good video

  • WHAT IS WORLD WAR 1 ?

  • Must have been so much to research, superb result.

    Thanks

  • war... war never changes

  • @animoia And the world just sat back and fuckin' watched...

  • To mrceebees14: Your twisted views of the actual historical events from that time are interesting, but end at that. Perhaps if you would be better versed in the facts regarding both wars, you may better appreciate the sacrifice made by all soldiers who lost their lives for their countries.

  • good music

  • very great video!!!

  • Out of all the deaths that WW1 saw, the most important one never happened.

  • True that. If only Corpral Adolf Hitler had met the wrong end of Sargent York's Springfield!

  • @TheGinger48 I don't follow.

  • @mrceebees14

    Ginger means that Hitler was in the Army during World War I, at the rank of Corporal. He suffered mustard gas exposure from the British, but didn't die. As for SGT. York, who's name was Alvin York, he was an American infantryman who was from the hillbilly hills of Kentucky. Yet, he was a great marksman. Legend has it that York captured a whole battalion of German soldiers by himself when they ran out of ammunition.

  • @TheGinger48

    While I agree with you on the aspect of how history ended up being for Hitler, I also wonder what would have happened had Hitler been accepted into the art schools in Vienna instead of him joining the Army. History would likely then call him Adolf Hitler the Artist.

  • @TY73Projex If he was accepted he would have not cared about politics would be my assumption. But with as volitale as Hitler is, I would gamble that he would have found something to complain about that would spark that anger in him.

  • @mrceebees14

    True. Even Picasso was an angry painter with a rough attitude to those around him, especially family. Hitler had already lost so much by the time he entered the Army and had often translated his emotions into his art. After the Army, feeling betrayed by the V-treaty, he became even angrier, which allowed him to become quite the speaker at Bund and Beerhall meetings. I have often thought of Hitler as the classic idea behind the man who has reached a fork in the road.

  • I had to laugh someone is flogging a 1st world mess tin its dated 1917 just at the end of the war. Typical isnt it Americans weasel in at the end of a campaign and try to claim the glory ironically the mess tin180487256984 looks in good nick typical Americans we always have to save there skins

  • @BarbedHook 1) England and France came to the United States from the beginning asking for supplies, we gave it to them ON CREDIT asshole. Which at the end of the war, they did not want to pay it back in a generous amount of time. That is how we got involved directly in the war, they sunk a troop transport carrying supplies to England to feed your starving asses because of Uboat blockades of supplies.

    So fuck you, you should be greatful, we put food on the table for you you eurotrash.

  • @mrceebees14

    Actually, in World War 1 we weren't nearly as reliant on US supplies as we were in World War 2. In fact, Britain was lending France and Russia money and supplies (Which we never got back off Russia). Most of our supplies came from colonies. Meanwhile, Germany was busy starving due to the Royal Navy blockade.

    When US soldiers arrived in Europe they were using British and French weapons

    Not believe me i am grateful, but don't start that 'saved your asses' shit.

  • @Azog150 The fact remains that what the European Allies took from the US in raw materials and food that was not paid back even by WW2. LaiseFaire had everything to do with that, that is why it was created. For some reason Europe thought just "being their friends" should be payment enough for the young USA. But when they failed to baby sit Germany properly and let a mad man take over the country and mobilize for war, they were SCREAMING for US help. I have a picture of Uncle Sam with

  • @mrceebees14 @mrceebees14

    As for WW2, I agree without US supplies we would have had to negotiate peace with Germany (indeed, the German's would have been more then happy to be at peace with Britain- Britain got involved purely through its own choice).

  • @Azog150 But there is absolutly no chance that Germany could ever have inavded Britain. Operation sea Lion was a joke. BTW, it wasn't the BOB that saved Britain- it was the very existance of the Royal Navy. Even if we lost the BOB, all that would have happened is Germany would have gained temporary air superiority over S.England while the RAF recouperated.

  • Thats why American talk of 'we saved your asses' or 'you would be speaking German without us' is utter shite. We could have sued for peace, but we chose to fight.

    I also find it funny when the US tries to take the high ground over the rise of Hitler. The US had just as much responsibility to deal with Hitler as we did- after all the US was at Versailles. At least we tried to do something. The US just ignored the problem completely.

  • @Azog150 The Americans always seem to forget about the Russians as well and how Nazi Germany would not have invaded America if we had surrended and allied

  • @burnleyboy01 The American children are hardly taught true history today (in public schools) and most of it's revisionist history... In many classes WW1 is done in one class and the same goes for WW2. The American Civil War is hardly taught at all, except in the South and that's only in certain school districts. Instead they are taught sensitivity, sex ed, women's history...

  • @mrceebees14 No, the Entente was simply waiting for Germany to pay their war reperations first, and the UK was owed more debt by Europe than the USA was so maybe you should shut your mouth fucking ignorant prick

  • @Azog150 A piece of paper behind his back that says "WW1 debt....UNPAID" and it shows England on her belly, reaching across the Atlantic grasping for US help, with the shadow of Germany behind it.

    If the US does not enter that war, England falls to the Nazis, that is fact. The Battle of Britian was the holding off of Germany, not the defeat. Ultimately, no US involvement, you have Nazis rounding up your Jews and taking them east to be exterminated.

  • @mrceebees14 You have a propaganda cartoon. Well done

    I am not talking about WW2 but WW1 (You know, the war with the video in question). In WW1, US aid was very welcome, but no where near as necessary as WW2. Without US involvement in WW1 it may have dragged on another year, but the Royal Navy's blockade would have starved Germany to submission sooner or later.

  • @BarbedHook Who saved our skins? I assume you are French? We paid the French back in full for our independence. Called WW1 and WW2, as usual, the French had to be bailed out AGAIN from a beating at the hands of the Germans, eventhough the French had a larger army and well equipped army back then.

    But weaponary doesn't mean squat when you are a PUSSY like the French are.

  • I like those songs, especially the last one. Where can I find them on the web, anyway?

  • did allied troops attack germany?

  • no!

  • I guess in world war 2.

  • no!

  • nee!! andersom !

  • yeah

  • Thanks for this video, particularly for the choir of "marsouins" (= French marines) (3:27 to 4:20) : Sweet song, frightful lyrics !

  • That was awesome, It was really well done. 5+

  • those poor bastards, r.i.p.

  • Poor bastards, indeed.

  • I have a question. Who was, fighting in world war 1 ?

  • There were the Central Powers; Germany, Austro-Hungaria, Ottoman Empire (Turkey). Then the Entente Great Britain and her Dominions, France, Russia, Italy and Serbia and in 1917 the United States entered the war. Some other countries also fought for the Entente such as Romania & Japan. Bulgaria fought for the Central powers also.

  • Great Britain did not start the entente France and Russia did

  • @fp470 Italy was one of the central powers then changed camp in 1915 !

  • @lookgooddz Italy was in negotiations and had military agreements, but never formally entered into a binding alliance with all the central powers. they had a provisional alliance with German which was void if Britain was or could forseeably be an opponent. So they never truly were in teh Central POwers.

  • don't forget Canada!!

  • Australia, Canda, India, New Zealand, Rhodesia ,South Africa and all the other Commonwealth countries past and present are included under Britain and her Dominions.

  • @YeOldeDudes Oh yes !! i can't forget Canada which was crushed in Gallipoli and was used as a bullet shield for the Brits !

  • To answer this question, you might read something called a book There are a few about WW1, I think

    Italy was initially a member of the Triple Alliance, with Austria & Germany (just a way to thank France which had fought for Italy's independance). In 1915, when it appeared that the Central Powers wouldn't win the war, Italy joined the Entente.

  • you seem a tad resentful towards italy... still thinking of berlin 2006, are we?

  • Personally, not at all. I like Italy and I'm not surprised to observe cynicism in international affairs whatever the country, including mine. I just regret that Mussolini got so greedy in June 1940, instead of being wise like Franco, and attached Italy's fate with Hitler's.

  • There's John Keegans "First World War" that is definitely worth reading. The Great War was pathetic and chilling from a moral and economic standpoint, but it was also a watershed event politically for emerging countries in the East. Millions of scenes of misery and destruction laid waste not only to the land and as many lives, but also whisked away the optimism of our civilization and left an ache in its place.

    The music demonstrates the attempt by countries to stir people up for war.

  • Lots of countries

  • only hate among nations

  • World war one wasnt senseless in the reasons why it was fought, but it is regretable it didnt have enough positive results. It was fought, because Germany had planned to basically take over Europe, if not militarily it would be the pre eminant power and form economic control/imperialism over much of europe and be the most powerful force on the continent. Germany's expansionism, military dictatorship had to be stopped and many veterans despite the horrible war felt proud they did their bit.

  • Germany didnt plan on taking over the world it held an alliance with Austria which in turn dragged them into the war

  • I agree the first world war was senseless

    there was no point and no mean for war and it almost wiped out a hole generation

  • World War 1 was just a war to 'test' wich country was the best and the strongest.

  • My grandfather lost a lung to gas in that war... yet seemed so fiercly proud of his service - hated Germans. In my honest opinion, WW1 was the most SENSELESS war ever fought - the only "bad" guy was the punk who shot the duke and his pregnant wife - & the governments of all countries so eager to go to war. WW1 was fought for nothing but man's stupidity or anger at life - can't figure that one out. Would like to have told my granpa that... but it was his war - his generation - his sacrifice.

  • @feurzug no one won anything... just germany got blammed for everything...which then caused a leader like hitler to rise up which then caused ww2...so ya ww1 was pointless

  • @surfer260 didnt hitler fight in ww1? just something i heard

  • @TheCODlovr yes he did...he was a soldier for Austria ,,,he was a small little man who was known for hes speeches he would make in some trenches when some soldiers were afriad... he was also a victim of poison gas...which is why at the end of the war when he was losing he didnt even use gas because he knew the horrific affects of it ... but he did use gas for the gays jews mentals ect.

    but yes he was in the ww1

  • @TheCODlovr Yea he did XD

  • @feurzug that punk was gabriel princip

  • @starlightassassin Gavrilo*

  • @feurzug you hit the nail on the head

  • would seem to be supported by the evidence. why would the murder of 2 people justify the subsequent murder of millions? Only in the talmud is this justified, after all..the dead are only goy's.

  • Long live the Austria-Hungarian Empire!!!

  • gO DIE.,

  • Fuck you. What are you? Serbian?

  • Canadian BOYYYY!

  • Nice footage. Oh wait, there was none. Just pictures, but thanx anyway.

  • Really?

  • i just noticed that the war started in the month of june.

    so did the first battle with US and at the time NATZI GRMANY...in june.

  • I think that if the Germans had been smart and put off war until 1920 they could have won. They needed a slightly bigger navy and a treaty with Russia, even though it was secretly allied with France and the U.K.

  • they wouldnt hav won, and what do u mean held off war thats not the way it happened.

  • secretly iy was out in the open it was a cycle pact to stop germany for declaring war

  • well thank god they dident win or we would all well england and france for a fact would have been ruled by germans

  • No,no,no. The Germans wouldn't have occupied France and England. They planned something similar to the "Versailler Vertrag". Maybe a bit harsher than Versailles but similar. Look for "Septemberprogramm". There's an article about it on the English wikipedia.

  • At 3:00 you show two consecutive scenes of World War 2 Gurkhas. Back to library with you...

  • hey think youre right!!!!

  • THANK you serbia for starting this Frekin WW1 by killing the ARchduke and causing 40 million lives to be lost

  • Dude read some history books, Serbia didnt start war, Gavrilo Princip shoot Archduke Franc, he was member of Crna Ruka (organization who were fighting for free Bosnia, that was occupied by Austria in 1908). Axis were just looking for clue for war and that was it, Serbia wasnt involved in assasination, Serbia didnt want war in witch she will lose evry second man and approximately 30% of entire population. Read some history before you can say such things.

  • Serbia was full of radicals and hated Austria.both austria and serbia are retards.

  • Lol dude from america say that other people are retards, look first at your home for retards and then say to someone else. And dont say things about history when you dont know them, learn first.

  • @aWTFproduction The united states was created by something called Hunger ! don't you know that? 

  • Austria declared war on Serbia, Russia was so backward they had to fully mobilize or not at all. German mobilized because Russia did. that's how it went. No premediataion, just the result of rigid mobilization schedules and beaurocratic needs and foolish Alliances.

  • WW1 was a war just waiting to happen. IF it were not for the assassination of the archduke, some other event would have sparked it.

  • are you dumb....

    There was already tension in Europe for many years... The assasination just was the spark that set the fire

  • but it did start the war

  • no idiot, Germany lost both wars

  • @1061237a

    Proving Germany shouldn't go to war with anyone. They are better at making beer and partying than war.

  • richardhedditch261 u r an idiot if u think germany drew with us cos they lost both wars and hitler wasnt in power in 1918 he didnt come into power until the 2 August 1934 so how could he have reversed the 1918 Armistace in the same train carraige in 1940?

  • i suggest you go to a world history class... =D

  • yes of course if guy who give this video don't cancel my msge like usually (???) i remains you Soldiers -> - Germany : 1.800.000 died, 4.200.000 wounted - France : 1.700.000 died, 4.000.000 wounded - UK : 960.000 died, 2.100.000 wounded (brits "Empire" whith Canada and Australia) - Russia : 1.700.000 died, 4.800.000 wounded - Austria-Hongry : 1.200.000 Died, 3.620.000 wounded - Italy : 650.000 died, 947.000 wounded etc...

  • Yeah Sturmabteilungmann!

    I don´t know about german songs made

    in WWI. Someone knows about them?

    I tried to find german songs made in the WWI

    but I didn´t get! where are them?

    Thanks.Danke!

  • For example: the"Engeland-Lied"

  • "Engeland-Lied" is WW2!

  • Are you sure?

  • I checked again, and you were right Britachtzig! The "Engeland-Lied" was sung as of WW1 in the German navy.

  • Its my favourite song from former times. I like bells in the refrain.

  • Very good footage! But this song is from WWII just so you know... My respect for all the fallen german heroes of WWI R.I.P

  • why not for the french, british, australian, american, canadian, russian, serbian,irish, belgian, etc. etc. ?

  • why not for the Italians?

  • those were under: etc. etc.

  • you can be under etc. etc...

    600,000 dead deserve more respect...

    all nations have suffered in the conflict. If you are superficial, you had better not write about this topic.

  • look, you dont have to get offensive... I admit i didnt know it was that much italians. But i didn't mean any disrespect by etc.,

    so who's superficial... so please, dont be so nationalistic...

  • The American woman sowing seed around 1:36 was inspired by a famous French postage stamp design of that time.

  • Very good footage!

  • What a mess old Europe

  • back in ww1, the US army had a hired army consisting of snipers as well as other weapons. they were called Pink Pony. They would prance around in the fields until they saw the enemy and then they tore some new assholes

  • funny thing is the catholics supported this war and many to come.thats religion for ya

  • religion was the last thing that was on peoples mind in this war...

  • no im just saying that they did support both wars germanys catholics killing great britanias catholics there killing their own brothers man...

  • what do you mean i can't understand what your trying to say!Ireland and the IRA supported Germany??Some did and lots more didn't.We liked the anti british side (usaully) but the facist thing,wasn't too big.

  • i wasnt even talking to you? wow this is so long ago

  • Alsatians, before war of 1870 didnt speak german but a germanik language (same origin as german as can be dutch or swedish, but not german). True than after 1918 french tried to stop this language, but german did same between the wars. And dont forget the shame nazis did here (not all germans i dont confuse) in WWII. To be a part of a country means to want it, not to speak a language ( we have 77 differents languages here in France).

  • that's why you guys suck. omg i'm jk. but seriously you do

  • I am alsacian and you said is false: in thirty years wars germany didnt exist.

    And what is to be french? to feel french. I am french and dont want to be german (i love germany BTW). We are in a democracy, we can vote if we dont want to be a part of France. As an alsacian i feel shock by you 14zero.

  • ...At that time, there are Germans and the German particularism. The then-Alsace also was it´s own culture area and it´s German speakers outlasted till the early 20th century. After the First World War the creeping acculturation began. Sorry, but these are the facts. By the way, the main reason for both nations to get Alsace was to have a natural border and a military gain. And till today speaking German is the most important thing in Germany - That´s their only national feeling. :P

  • The last french soldier of WW1 is die today 03/12/08 he was 110 years.

    there s just 8 soldiers of WW1 alive today.

  • poor little Belgian

    the causes are open to conjecture

    the effects are not

    having a meaning to go to war is only a spin

    mankind enjoys war

    3 instincts

    compete for resources

    protect your offspring and breeders

    go hunting

  • Austria wanted a limited war with Serbia.Due to alliances other countries mobilised. Germany did not believe it could win because of the 2 fronts.Germany did win in the East.

    The Tsar and Kaiser wished only to mobilise. The huge armies were out of central control and war ensued. They ultimately did engage in attrition and both sides inhibited diplomatic resolution. Generally it was a popular war ,except it went on for too long, bankrupting Britain and causing revolution and famine.

    Sad.

  • the assasination of ferdinand is not the real reason ww1 got sparked...

  • No it was just the excuse 2 get it started :)

  • exactly...

  • Eccellente clip.

  • what's the name of the italian song? i'm italian! and i would like to have it, on my computer!

    thanks!!

  • "Venti giorni sull'Ortigara" or sometimes known as "Ta Pum"

  • The colored one wasn't italian but was a french soldier.

  • If i could start WW3 just by killing one individual i would. then maybe the house prices in the UK might come down and i could buy a really nice place...

  • very good work

  • doesnt matter if there white. but america is not a goed country without america theres no war and the EUROPEANS MAKET AMERIKA

  • Dude this war lasted for 4 years without any american help, same for 40-45 germany did this twice so dont blame america, blame germany if you wanne be a hater

  • For hundreds of years us white guys have been killing each other fighting stupid wars in Europe, If not for this we would be several hundred million more by now ,Instead we are in rapid demographic decline, R.I.P white guys.

  • absolutly true! since white people begon kolonising the world 500 years ago, people were allready starting to get mixed. at the end all people will have a skincolor like puertorican's :)

  • Viva La Bellissima Italia!

  • Sul Piave, sul Grappa e su tant'altri campi i nostri nonni hanno combattuto per l'unitá di tutt'Italia. Non dimentichiamolo mai anche in futuro! Eroi per sempre, viva L'Italia!

  • I Love the Italian Song...beautiful "Venti Giorni Sull'Ortigara"

  • What a great speculation is war

  • recently the last canadian veteran died, soon after the vimy ridge memorial, god bless them all

  • The war was the fault of France. They were imperialists. The attacked the german troops first in Lorraine. Without the americans we would have won the war, becuase 1917 the french army canceld and without the british attack at the Somme the german army would have won the battle at Verdun. LANG LEBE DER KAISER!

  • You Guys Were imperialists, we wanted Lorraine and Alsace back You had stolen those region from us. But The War is over. For a long time now, get over it.

  • Historical correction: Alsace (Elsass-Lothringen) was German land and "stolen" in the time of Thirty Years´ War. It cames back to the German Rich in 1971 after the Franco-German War. Till the 1960s only a minority of the population was French and only a little bit more than 10% were fluent in France. After the Second World War the Alsatians asked for a referendum but the French occupying power denied that. During the last decades France more and more adapted the Alsatians to the French culture.

  • I am Alsacian and I feel 100% French - Ich bin hundertprozent ein Franzose !! Alsace adhered enthusiastically to the French revolution, some of the best generals of the Revolution were from Alsace, and the Marseillaise was composed in Strasbourg. A nation is not based on race or language, but on the will to live together. If the Germans had organized a referendum in 1871, Alsace would have remained French !

  • the French army canceled in 1917, 1914: french victory of la Marne, 1916 french victory of Verdun, the americans came in july 1917 and enter in the fight 2 months later, at end :during the battle of the Somme half of Allied troops were French...

  • Idiot! Some people never learn. Come and visit langendorp where 24.000 german soldiers are buried on a surface as small as a tennis court. And by the way, the theory that they where buried in an upright position like if they were in a position of attention is bollocks. They where just stacked one above the other. At least, what was left of them. Little heaps of flesh and bones. This is not about who started what first. This is about the millions who lost there lives for nothing.

  • very nice vid

    and the music agrees with the video

  • where are the serbian songs?

  • Why?

  • because then all young englishmen go into in war and nether came back

  • beautiful footage of WWI, good choice of photos and musics (I like the french and italian military songs in particulary); and very good montage!

  • The name is: "Le forban" (version "Marsouin").

    bye

  • Thank you Sir. I'm sorry but I don't know the name of the french song. Bye! :)
