@KidRAYbot we're leaving, for an hour (what i guess is) our snipers have been hitting their machine guns, so it should go well for us. We will take the first line, and the one after. after, (something) will releive us at the end of the day; and well be able to rest in the rear. The scots will be on our left, you'll recognize them by their (something) black; ignore them. I'm like you - I want to go home too, so do what you have to do, and in a week we'll spend christmas at home.
@TheShinema That's really all in perspective. I'm not flaming your comment, but WWI showed the governments that war could be used as a method to achieve goals. To the soldiers and civilians you're right there wasn't a point to it. It's just a matter at how you look at it.
We're moving out. We have 100 meters to cross to get to the German trenches. Our gunners have been firing at them for an hour so we should be alright. We're going to take their front line, then the farm just behind. The 135th will relieve us at the end of the day and we can get some rest behind the front line. The scots will provide reinforcement on our left, you'll recognize their black caps. Don't worry about them, (continued)

@HiroTheJapeneseTrain Yea well all they care about is money and WWI won't exactly be hugely popular, which is a real shame as WWI or WWII is far more interesting than some fictional WWIII which was poorly portrayed. We have no idea how many people died in WWIII/MW3 and it just portrayed the Russians as evil, I hate the campaign really.
@HiroTheJapeneseTrain Its called the ww1 delema or however you spell it.Its hard to make a fps game about a mostly static war where you are most likely to die for sticking your head out of the trench to see whats happening.There was a mod made for any source game which was a ww1 game.It was okay but there is nobody playing it and its rather boring. the only thing that you can do with ww1 is make a rts out of it which even then is rather dull.Toy soldiers game is as close as you are going to get
En réalité, à cette époque de la guerre, plus souvent qu'autrement, la force adverse ne se rendait même pas aux tranchés ennemies, étant massacrés par les mitrailleuses dans le ''no man's land.

@breezeman199 pardon? millions of soldiers being prepared, alliances being formed, taking worthless scraps of land to show power- and nobody thought that there would be a war? EVERYONE knew there would be a war, and France wanted their land back from Germany, Germany wanted more over-sea's empire and Austria-Hungry was trying to supress the whole of yogoslavia. Germnay had the Schliefen plan and France had set up defences.
Just read a book or somthing- Germany planned for the war in 1906!
@Themesticks You sound like Wellington House propaganda, sir. If Germany had wanted a war in 1906 why didn't it just start one? Russia had been defeated by Japan, its navy was sunk and the country was being torn apart by revolution. It could have offered no resistance to any German designs and France by itself was no match at all for Germany. But Germany did nothing. By the way, "yogoslavia" (Yugoslavia) didn't even exist at this time.
@breezeman199 Germany's plan was dependant on France attacking alsace-lorraine. So they were waiting for the French to attack- then they'd out-flank the French and march to Paris then come back for the french in alsace-lorraine. If you know about the Russo-Japanise war, then you must know the Schleiffen plan?
p.s. I know yugoslavia (dont get too hung-up on a slip of the fingers, im only human) didn't exist- nor does it now. But just accept im talking about South-Eastern Europian countries.
@Themesticks Your mischaracterising the situation. The Kaiser asked Moltke to scrap the S. plan in 1914 and turn the trains east towards Russia. Moltke refused saying it was impossible, which was quite false. Also don't read too much into the S. plan. All countries draw up plans of war against other nations just in case. America and Canada and the U.K. had plans of war against each other into the 1930's. The U.K. is currently drawing up plans to participate in war against Iran.
@breezeman199 The point is-the schleiffen plan wasn't made 'just in case', the Germans wanted an empire in Europe and France wanted their land back. These plans were war plans- not 'back-up plans' or 'plan B'. This war would happen. There were over 10 million soldiers waiting for war-just in Europe- and in early 1900s, they had no clue what a war of this magnitude would be like. In hindsight, they were idiots for starting the war, but they didn't know that at the time. Your 2nd last line is crap
@Themesticks America made plans for war against Canada into the 1930's. It also made plans for naval warfare with the U.K and vice-versa. Canada also had plans both to attack and defend from an attack from America. Germany was no more imperialistic then any other country in Europe. Britain should never have abandoned "splendid isolation" and thrown in with France and Czarist Russia. Still the war was by no means inevitable. This seems to be the new British argument. Blaming Germany is old....
@breezeman199 OK, lets start over cus ur using information which doesn't support the question, but instead is used it to support ur intellegence. The War wasnt inevitable- As i like blaimin Germany- lets start with them; 2200k ambitious German soldiers wanting an overseas empire like Britian- R they going to want a war? 1250k French soldiers wanting A.Lorrine back-R they going to want war? 750k Italians wanting an empire- war? And if there is that many pro-war soldiers- whats going to happen?
@Themesticks The war wasn't inevitable and largely happened because of a series of errors and miscalculations. The most serious of these was the duplicity of Edward Grey. He had tied the U.K. to France but Germany wasn't aware of this. This was a glaring mistake. As for A.L., Germany offered to return it to France in 1917 but the French government rejected the offer.
@breezeman199 soz, only just got this so pardon my late replay; you can use all your shizzle-bizzle stats and facts which i am aware of- but really saying,'in hindsight' doesn't matter- glaring mistakes, 'miscalculations' (which i dont understand, and we arn't debating maths here?) and errors are irrelivant- if most of europe is fully prepared for war (which it was) and is going to use petty excuses to go to war- they is going to be a war... how don't you understand this simple fact?
@Themesticks Not quite sure what your saying here, and your poor grammar and spelling doesn't help. WW1 was an avoidable disaster and a tragedy. That Germany has been traditionally blamed for it is due to British propaganda and the fact that history is written by the winners.
@breezeman199 Newsflash! writing correctly on YouTube doesn't make you clever- just makes you seem like a grammar physco who attends posh upper schools and quivers in shock whenever s/he sees 'you' shortened to 'u'. Let’s say WW1 didn't start in 1914; are you seriously suggesting that tensions in Europe could stay as high as it was for 100s of years to come? That is a retarded thought...
@Themesticks I don't believe the war was inevitable. I guess we part company on the subject. I also feel Britain played a key role in shaping the political dynamics that created the tensions you speak of. Czarist Russia was industrializing and modernizing rapidly in the years just before the war. Had it been delayed a few decades the Czar may well have been overthrown. Likewise Britain may have turned inward, distracted by Ireland and socialist-class tensions.
@Themesticks I thought of it more as a discussion then a feud. In any case your view that the war was inevitable is unfalsifiable, since alternate history is only speculation. It will be interesting, with the centenary of the war coming up, to see how European countries will try to spin it.
Ww1 was just pointless, a bunch of young men slogging it out in death and destruction in the name of sorting out hissy fits between superiors of their country... pointless.
@xbbamasters This is true, some say it's only a matter of time before Usa upset someone else. We came within an hour of ww3 during the Cuban missile crisis.
@ByrneBeatsInc It wasn't useless. Was it tragic? yes. But don't ever say that their sacrifice was useless. It was what changed Europe and introduced the entire world into a new age of Democracy and order. The losses and deaths of the young men are disgusting, but it happened. So don't ever say that such a momentous and violent tragedy was in vain. Because for a lot of people, it was something more.
@TiberiusOmega3 But it wasn't, the tragedy of WWI was these men died for empire and those who keep these myths alive play into the hands of governments who would have many more young men and women slaughtered for oil and industry.
@Comrade4561 Okay so we went to war afterwards. But that still doesn't give someone the right to say that their deaths were pointless. They died and fought for what they believed in. The historical significance cannot be ignored.
@TiberiusOmega3 Surely they fought and died for something . Either way most countries in the world are basically protectorates of USA . So they died in vain since their countries got enslaved by treaties and banks and not by force of arms .
@Comrade4561 If you're slave - you're slave. No matter whose slave - your neighbour's or your purse's, and no matter how you got there - by force of arms, or trickery and delusion. It's something inside. Rome got into slavery of it's dictators before emperors even emerged - romans as a whole were ready to submit to some other roman's rule, and not to think for themselves. Slave will find his slaver this way or another. I know what i'm talking about... And most us are there...
@TiberiusOmega3 'They died and fought for what they believed in' - which was pointless. Misguided at best, total arsehole governmental lies at worst. I dare say most didn't really believe in much or understand what they were belieiving in anyhow. They were simply bowing to authority and a blind loyalty often called 'patriotism'. The real ideal should be not to killy our fellow man, whatever his race or nationality.
@ByrneBeatsInc Well put. It's so sad and infuriating. It amazes me and makes me sad for the free-thinking capability (or lack of it) of the human mind, that just about everybody swallowed it and followed the 'cause' (which they had very little understanding of beyond blind faith of their govenments and zenophobia). The French did try to mutiny at Verdun at least, but somehow, God knows how, the hierachy always win the day in leading the sheep to the slaughter.
@ByrneBeatsInc Well, WWII wasn't any less pointless. Most wars are, anyway. They have their place in human history, but make no mistake : There's usualy not much to gain from them, for any side of the conflict.
@thedicklick1 i am from Germany sorry for my mistake but you are more then an idiot because everybody understand what i mean, and if you have a problem with my speak you can write without insult.

PEOPLE go to my channel,and down in the description you will see links to the great strategy game,they are all the same.(I earn gold when you register,but don't worry you start with 20 000 gold which is a lot.)
This strategy game is about WWI where you will lead any country of that time(Italy,Germany,Russia,Austria,England,France,US and other countries),rule the world,manage your economy,military and diplomacy,WIN!
I don't know how you guys feel - but I don't care who won how many battles and wars. I'm kinda happy that we live in times of peace in Europe. Damn sure I wouldn't want to go to war!
I am Belgian, I want to thank the Frenck, Brittish and American armies for what they did for us... our men fought side by side in the trenches and showed courage that a lot of soldiers these day dont have... rip
france the country that once boasted napoleon mother fucking Bonaparte the most skilled and arguably the greatest military leader to ever walk a battlefield is now basically synonymous with coward?
@BasicallytoBasics i was just making a point. i fully realise that not all americans are arogant louts, indeed many are extreemly nice people, but idiots like 34201618 seem to be rather plentifull in your country (no offence)
@MrItalianman1982 i understand this, i'm only making a point towards this idiot, but after this many comments, i think i'll remove mine. america can sort it's idiots out itself, as is how it should be.
I agree - the French pioneered the use of field radios to inform their artillery when and where to fire, whilst other armies were still using timed attacks, often killing their own men or shelling already taken positions. It was the French who delayed the Germans' advance (as well as the Belgians, who chose to fight instead of remain neutral like the Germans predicted).
@Rangerfull3 What about in WW1 when the Germans did much better in almost every battle they had against the French. What about the North American colonies that were taken from the French by the British. What about the Franco-Prussian war, the Hundred Years' War, Italian wars?
Hundred years war epic fail from english , 7 years war we took our revenge during american revolution ( Chasepeake , Yorktown ) , Italian's war yes helped by spanish and who has beaten Spain and ut a french king on the throne ? Louis XIV even today the spanish king is a bourbon . France won 9 wars against England/britain and lost only 3.
France and england are the 2 greatest countries in war, and it will never change
u americans forget we helped u win ur war of revolution, if we had known in the 18th century that your country would house dickfaces like you it would probably have aided england,
France has honor, we fought like men against similar opponents, like every european country, not like americans, genociding arabs and indians and enslaving milions of africans, ur country is full of cowards and immoral fags
@TheUndutchified We don't forget that France helped us in our Revolution. Some might think we paid that back as Soissons, Champagne, and St. Michel. Others might think we paid that back in Normandy. I had a friend in Normandy, an old man who ran a railroad signal in Normandy. He and his son helped pull US soldiers out of a flooded river while under German fire. He didn't complain about the way the US fought. He was honorable. You, not so much.
@Rangerfull3 I presume you know about the 1940 invasion through the Ardennes. After the surrender, Vichy France was the rump state left after Germany took over the Atlantic coastal areas and northern France. in 1942 Germany again invaded Vichy France when the Allies landed in North Africa.
@Rangerfull3 If one sharpens one's pencil a bit, one can justify a third German invasion, also successful. In 1944, at the request of the Free French (le chamois des Alpes bondit) The the Maquis of the Massif du Vercors declared themselves an independent republic. They laid careful ambushes for the Germans on the roads leading to the plateau, but the 4000 Maquisards were short on heavy weapons. The Germans attacked using airborne and glider forces. Over 600 of the Maquis were killed.
@Rangerfull3 That is why I caveat-ed the third invaion with the 'if you sharpen your pencil' but the Ardennes in 1940, Vichy France in 1942 were the two main invasions. The Maquisards had a cool flag, a French flag with a cross of Lorraine and a V.
@Rangerfull3 French are given such bad Rep not because of that, but because the entire Soul of France was torn out during the First Great War. Who would want another war on your own soil after what happened during that war, France was scared physically and physiologically. Petain was a hero from that war, in WWII he with others gave France up so quickly, in fears of it happening all over again. Wouldn't you? The French did most of the fighting, on their soil, suffered greatly.
@Luminahawke Hmm.. i see what you mean.. Unfortunately i don't really know much about France's military history in both ww1 and ww2, and I bet many others don't either, mainly because, well at least for me, they're easy to overlook as in ww1 france was just the battlegrounds for others to fight, and in ww2 it was basically the only allied nation to fall...not counting Poland
@Rangerfull3 I think it's unfortunate that you have overlooked the french war effort, considering their contribution to the allies in terms of manpower was twice that of USA for example, and thats not even counting its contribution to the wareffort of gathering supplies. But I understand what you mean, France has been drastically wronged in many movies, books and educational focuses for many years, time to do something about that I think :)
well im sorry i disagree with you greatly in ww1 France was the Majorpower in the Triple Entente and yes England fought like devils and they lost many soldiers in France (respect) but it was France who really carried the war and when the americans came after 4 years hard fighting much of the german strenght was bleed dried after battles like Verdun and Somme. France lost 25% of ther manpower between 18-50 years its quite devastating for any country and hey FranceandEngland won ww1
@Narjoso Its pretty Ignorant to say that France carried the war based on the amount of men they lost. From a tactical standpoint you could say that sure, they were great at holding Key objectives, but when it came to alot of offensive actions they lacked. In fact they went on no major offensive actions during 1917, But the british and canadians participated at Vimmy Ridge, Pascheandale and Arras, Messines and Cambrais. Both sides contributes equally, the french held, Verdun, and the Marnes

If you know about the Russo-Japanise war, then you must know the Schleiffen plan?
p.s. I know yugoslavia (dont get too hung-up on a slip of the fingers, im only human) didn't exist- nor does it now. But just accept im talking about South-Eastern Europian countries.

@Themesticks Your mischaracterising the situation. The Kaiser asked Moltke to scrap the S. plan in 1914 and turn the trains east towards Russia. Moltke refused saying it was impossible, which was quite false. Also don't read too much into the S. plan. All countries draw up plans of war against other nations just in case. America and Canada and the U.K. had plans of war against each other into the 1930's. The U.K. is currently drawing up plans to participate in war against Iran.
breezeman199 2 months ago
@breezeman199 The point is-the schleiffen plan wasn't made 'just in case', the Germans wanted an empire in Europe and France wanted their land back. These plans were war plans- not 'back-up plans' or 'plan B'. This war would happen. There were over 10 million soldiers waiting for war-just in Europe- and in early 1900s, they had no clue what a war of this magnitude would be like. In hindsight, they were idiots for starting the war, but they didn't know that at the time. Your 2nd last line is crap
Themesticks 2 months ago
@Themesticks America made plans for war against Canada into the 1930's. It also made plans for naval warfare with the U.K and vice-versa. Canada also had plans both to attack and defend from an attack from America. Germany was no more imperialistic then any other country in Europe. Britain should never have abandoned "splendid isolation" and thrown in with France and Czarist Russia. Still the war was by no means inevitable. This seems to be the new British argument. Blaming Germany is old....

@breezeman199 OK, lets start over cus ur using information which doesn't support the question, but instead is used it to support ur intellegence. The War wasnt inevitable- As i like blaimin Germany- lets start with them; 2200k ambitious German soldiers wanting an overseas empire like Britian- R they going to want a war? 1250k French soldiers wanting A.Lorrine back-R they going to want war? 750k Italians wanting an empire- war? And if there is that many pro-war soldiers- whats going to happen?
Themesticks 2 months ago
@Themesticks The war wasn't inevitable and largely happened because of a series of errors and miscalculations. The most serious of these was the duplicity of Edward Grey. He had tied the U.K. to France but Germany wasn't aware of this. This was a glaring mistake. As for A.L., Germany offered to return it to France in 1917 but the French government rejected the offer.
breezeman199 2 months ago
@breezeman199 soz, only just got this so pardon my late replay; you can use all your shizzle-bizzle stats and facts which i am aware of- but really saying,'in hindsight' doesn't matter- glaring mistakes, 'miscalculations' (which i dont understand, and we arn't debating maths here?) and errors are irrelivant- if most of europe is fully prepared for war (which it was) and is going to use petty excuses to go to war- they is going to be a war... how don't you understand this simple fact?
Themesticks 2 months ago
@Themesticks Not quite sure what your saying here, and your poor grammar and spelling doesn't help. WW1 was an avoidable disaster and a tragedy. That Germany has been traditionally blamed for it is due to British propaganda and the fact that history is written by the winners.

@breezeman199 Newsflash! writing correctly on YouTube doesn't make you clever- just makes you seem like a grammar physco who attends posh upper schools and quivers in shock whenever s/he sees 'you' shortened to 'u'. Let’s say WW1 didn't start in 1914; are you seriously suggesting that tensions in Europe could stay as high as it was for 100s of years to come? That is a retarded thought...
Themesticks 2 months ago
@Themesticks I don't believe the war was inevitable. I guess we part company on the subject. I also feel Britain played a key role in shaping the political dynamics that created the tensions you speak of. Czarist Russia was industrializing and modernizing rapidly in the years just before the war. Had it been delayed a few decades the Czar may well have been overthrown. Likewise Britain may have turned inward, distracted by Ireland and socialist-class tensions.

@Themesticks I thought of it more as a discussion then a feud. In any case your view that the war was inevitable is unfalsifiable, since alternate history is only speculation. It will be interesting, with the centenary of the war coming up, to see how European countries will try to spin it.

I agree - the French pioneered the use of field radios to inform their artillery when and where to fire, whilst other armies were still using timed attacks, often killing their own men or shelling already taken positions. It was the French who delayed the Germans' advance (as well as the Belgians, who chose to fight instead of remain neutral like the Germans predicted).

@Rangerfull3 I presume you know about the 1940 invasion through the Ardennes. After the surrender, Vichy France was the rump state left after Germany took over the Atlantic coastal areas and northern France. in 1942 Germany again invaded Vichy France when the Allies landed in North Africa.
DonMeaker 3 months ago
@Rangerfull3 If one sharpens one's pencil a bit, one can justify a third German invasion, also successful. In 1944, at the request of the Free French (le chamois des Alpes bondit) The the Maquis of the Massif du Vercors declared themselves an independent republic. They laid careful ambushes for the Germans on the roads leading to the plateau, but the 4000 Maquisards were short on heavy weapons. The Germans attacked using airborne and glider forces. Over 600 of the Maquis were killed.

@Rangerfull3 That is why I caveat-ed the third invaion with the 'if you sharpen your pencil' but the Ardennes in 1940, Vichy France in 1942 were the two main invasions. The Maquisards had a cool flag, a French flag with a cross of Lorraine and a V.

Who would want another war on your own soil after what happened during that war, France was scared physically and physiologically. Petain was a hero from that war, in WWII he with others gave France up so quickly, in fears of it happening all over again. Wouldn't you? The French did most of the fighting, on their soil, suffered greatly.

@Narjoso Its pretty Ignorant to say that France carried the war based on the amount of men they lost. From a tactical standpoint you could say that sure, they were great at holding Key objectives, but when it came to alot of offensive actions they lacked. In fact they went on no major offensive actions during 1917, But the british and canadians participated at Vimmy Ridge, Pascheandale and Arras, Messines and Cambrais. Both sides contributes equally, the french held, Verdun, and the Marnes
