battle of Cer, the first allied victory, 180 thousand Serb soldiers against 200 thousand austrian soldiers, then battle of Kolubara the second allied victory, 450 thousand austrian soldiers, against 250 thousand Serbian soldiers. Battle of Mojkovac, 6500 montenegro soldiers against 20 thousand austrians. Serbian losses 1.300.000 out of 4.000.000 million inhabitants, which represented over 27% of its overall population. By comparison, france lost 16.8%, germany 15.4%, Russia 11.5%.
Does anybody know the name of the soldier or from which regiment was the soldier carrying the wounded man at 1:20? his face haunts me and I would love to know who he was?
bookerrulez-wat 2 SMALL countrys u talking bout??im guessing england and germany??we did'nt just fight, we fought for freedom, we fought for things most other countrys enjoy two. this clip is bout rememering the fallen, and in that a way thanking them for our lives 2day, we set a president with these horrendous wars, not just a war for oil, or money. no one has the dam right to rule the world, and make "the perfect race", plus u idiot, peace treaties, we'nt about then, so show some respect
snowmister wat two SMALL countrys are u talking about?? im guessing germany and england?? if this the case let me remind u that england did not just fight germany, we faught for freedom, we faught for all the the things most countrys, enjoy today, those who lost there lives did it for all of us, the above clip, is to remember the fallen, and in rememberance, we thank them, for our lives today, like my gr granfather sniped aged just 36, in the somme. have some fuc*ing respect
@suemcmoo He is talking about Austria-Hungary and Serbia. Please do some research about how WW1 started. Snowmister did some research, that can't be said about you.
thanks to all the men, women and children that helped us for thier sacrifices that make our world as is it today... so many deaths for so much to carry on... THANK YOU BRAVE WARRIORS... NEVER FORGOTTEN IN OUR HEARTS..
This was the stupidest war we ever fought, ever. It should have just been between those two small countries, but everyone had to get involved, because of all those peace treaties, which millions died for. Its just sad.
@ufesa3 Also true to say Ufesa that one or two modern main battle tanks would have 'cleared up' the German front line in 1916! a few spitfires would have done wonders to; but of course all speculation!
@ufesa3 uh there is a war occuring now & "nukes" as u say have been around since the 1940's, so yeah "nukes" exist currently & war is current as-well. so...... good point.
Four years in a meat grinder, that is WW1 in a nutshell. Empires, Nationalism and Industrialism sucked men and fortune into a black hole in the trenches.
Europe bankrupted itself buying materials from America, only to have America emerge a new superpower, and Europe left in the ruins of fallen empires. Along with a deep scare that would be a precursor to WW2, the cold war and the current war on terror.

salute to germany and its arm malicious,hail hitler..we need your substitute now,hitler in era 2010 onwards to abolish all jews who are compromised to kill & conquer this world without any races & religion with them..hail to nazi & dutchland
The WW1 was the end of the Autro-Hungarian Empire and the start of another WW resulting not only in a smaller Germany but also the end of Great Britain. Today in 2010 Brits still ask 'Who won the war?' That's a good question to ask: germany has lost a lot but we now only have a Britain and no Great Britain as all is lost!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow

And I will not stop until Nazi pricks like you no longer exist. I will hate Nazis until I die and spit when I hear the word " Hitler" said. If need be I will die to defend this world from racists like you. There are more of us than there is of you and many people who would do the same as me so ask yourself. Is it worth it? you will lose again just like you did those 65 years ago. The good will prevail in the end.
@Berazarulez absolutely true, but most wars have one nation that is doing something for a more just cause than the other, such as the difence of ones country, and btw im not Jewish, im agnostic, i just hate people that kill and insult people just because of they're skin colour or religion. Religion may be optional, but it is still the persons decision and should be respected, and it's not as if people can help being born a certain skin colour.

The great war must have been more horrible for the soldiers then the second world war.
just sitting in trenches just a couple of hundred meters no mans land between them. Knowing you'd face enemy machine guns when you'd leave the trenches and attacked. There was just one way to go. To the enemy lines, but that was almost suicide. In world war two you weren't stuck in a trenche... accept maby for Stalingrad.
@Fizzypop1211 That comparisson is a bit flawed since the mobilisation rate for Britain in WW1 was higher, also it does not consider lenght of contact with the enemy. In reality trench warfare has lower casualty rates than open warfare. Also that firgure you offer does not consider that fact Britain's highest casualty rates were in the open warfare of 1914 and then in 1918's counter offensives. Trench warfare is less lethal than open warfare but engenders longer contact with the enemy.
@iakodu Not really overrated, but I think the psychologial effects were much larger in the first world war.
Going over the top was probably one of the scariest things. Not to mention all the new weapons people never experienced before (on a large scale). Gas, Tanks, Airplanes, flamethrowers etc. Further life in the trenches must have been hell. Sure Stalingrad wasn't a nice place to be too, but still.
France & England are in great part responsible for the second world war, since they declared war to Germany! They were punished for that, particularly France.
The first world war?
In 1914, France didn't care any longer about avenging her 1871 defeat: It was old history, after two generations. England certainly had an imperial policy and cared about the balance on the continent, but was absolutely unprepared for war. Germany planned & declared the war.
They did not "defend your Vaterland". Germany attacked and invaded Belgium, France and Russia, which of course defended themselves. German war crimes provoked the intervention of the British and finally of the USA. In the end, Germany was beaten and got its just desert. Please stop believing in those nationalist legends, which paved the way for Hitler.
Germany was responsible for the second world war but not for the first world war. This war came from the imperial policy of all european powers. France wanted revenche for the 1871 defeat. England wanted to keep the balance on the continent. All euopean powers therefor were responsible for this war.
Thanks therefor to the German heros giving their lives for the freedom and integrity of the Vaterland
Sorry, but that's rubbish and you know it. It was only necessary to "keep the balance on the continent" because of Germany's expansionist policies. Belgium was trampled over as if it didn't exist; France would have been crushed had Britain and its Allies not intervened. Luckily Germany was defeated partly by its own arrogance, imagining it could win a war on two fronts.
It was thanks to Wilhelm II that Germany performed an aggresive politics to obtain a platz an die Sonne. And what did they defend, certainly not Germany. Most of the fighting was in France and Belgium. Germany is not solely responsible for the war but they had a great deal in it. And the German army was never completely defeated, so I have to say it again.
They didn't defend anything. The Entente were not planning to destroy and annexate germany. Somethimes I feel sorry they didn't, because then there wouldn't be a second world war.
i think the entente was somehow leading germany into the second world war with the contract of versailles. some french general even said this after WW1.
The Krauts were preparing for a war in some shape or form - Schlieffen Plan even identified the necessity for rapid troop movements to avoid a 2 front war because they knew their enemies. The Balkans may never have exploded the way it did if Germany hadn't been such a ready ally giving added confidence to the situation.
However, it is right to say Europe had, by 1914, become 2 armed camps, Deterence didn't work as the Axis were up for starting a fight.
@Fizzypop1211 actually they were called the central powers, the axis was WWII, you know with hitler and the nazis which could have been easily prevented if the allies were not such assholes and left the kaiser in power. BTW i'm american not german
infact dc does have a ww1 momorial its in west potomac park just of independance ave its not a national momorial as is why frank buckles wants it expanded to a national momorial
We lose so many to wars. My granfather lost one of his arms and suffered daily because of that injury. He died a relatively young man from complications from that injury. What do we get from all this suffering, killing and misery - god bless all the men and women who have fought and served their countries. We salute YOU!
my greatgrandpa fought in the both balkan wars and in the great war he died of old age he was 90 when he passed he was never wounded despite the fact he was a frontline sergeant :O i have never knew him he have died in 1967 but i can only imagine the horrors of this war poisonous gas millions of shells and the damned stinking trenches
People take for granted what these men done, so many young innocent lives were put to an end so that todays generation might live, we should never ever forget the sacrifice that was made by these courageous men and women, we literally owe our lives to them, and its sickening to see people nowadays, whose descendants are not essentially from here originally pay no respect to this countrys past, everyone should pay the upmost respect to these soldiers.
What not even if he was your brother? not even if he had saved your life on more than one occasion? your comment shows how little you understand the magnitude of war. where you fought and died and all who fought together wher brothers in arms. A stronger bond than we will ever Know.
my step grand dad was in the hitler youth, he wont mention anything about the war but has two bullet hole scars in him and an old photo with him as a young man in front of a line of piled corpses.
my great grandfather was supposedly a German soldier in ww2 as well. he got his leg blown off from the war tho. i never met him because my mom was adopted from Germany and shes never seen anyone from her real family since. only stories from my moms adopted mother that were told to her by my moms real mother.
Youtube should also have a warning on clips like this one, it should read something like 'Warning, this video might get your tears flow, dignify your spirit, and break your heart'. Thank you, seneven. And may God bless all those good men, forever.
look on it from the one perspective they had the right to emerge victorious, and from the other they also think they had the right to win. But if you look on it from e neutral perspective you can see that noone of them needed to fight, their own stupidity brought them to this point
I think it's a stupidity to deem very far away generations' deeds and thoughts 'from the comfortable point of view of today's. And I see it from the British point of view, this was either to fight for Belgium, or to end being Austro-Hungarian. The neutral perspective only shows me that it's very easy to critisize other people's actions when that one who does it, just simply watches from behind a safe barricade of circumstances and time.
society made them believe what was right for tham. they were shaped besides if it had not been for the upper elite this war would not have been. Founding great empires does not mean creating great nations
In good British Battalions the word 'No Man's land' was banned! The stretch between the trenches was considrered to be Britsh, right up to Jerries wire. That is why it was patrolled and attacked day and night.
what a terrible, terrible necessary evil war is. hopefully we never quit iraq or afghanistan like we did vietnam and waste all the lives of the men who died in support of it
suomunkrisu, you're right, i am an infantry soldier who served in iraq and have some very bad memories. but i also have a lot of pride. just like our grandfather's had. the problem is nowadays no one has any pride to tough it out and everyone is interested in getting over. you can get money for claiming ptsd. non combat troop pussies are claiming it for money along with the guys who actually have it. but if you actually have it, money and getting by doesn't matter. nothing does.
I dont belive u r a vet of iraq because u r calling non combat troops like my dad (signals) pussies and soliders respect that noncombat troops make it so infantry soliders can fight effectivley, even if u r a solider my dad still probably outranks u by a lot. lol u r not a vet of iraq
It's funny that soldiers that come from Iraq they are so shocked and go to doctors and stuff like thhat, even Iraq war isn't qnything to compared to first world war. Ofcourse war is allways something bad and horrible... But that shows people today aren't strong as our grandfathers was.
thus there was only English or brits in the WW1 ? (ah these roast-beefs which incomprehensible people of blind fanatics)
if you speak about history learn true history and learn to be objective guy...
looks my video
/watch?v=FyMRKzWpkZ4
for example for the truth about a tribute to all the countries which lost their children in this terrible WW1 with truths numbers which puts facts at its true place
No it isn't, I own the whole set of Band of Brothers and I would have recognized this if it was on there. I can see how you would think that though, it does sound very similar...
The great war was caused by three fuses, number 1 a struggle for empires , number 2, an arms race between germany and england who were both trying to outbuild each other with bigger and better ships, number 3 the alliance systems and finally the spark, the assassination of archduke franz ferdinandthis then caused a huge events which started world war 1.
The Germans. Cause the social parties, the folks parties were discredited by the nobilitiy and later Nazis. So the Weimar republic was doomed from the beginning, without the help of the old and stable democracies of France and the UK. So it was easy for Hitler to manipulate the weak democracy for his own aims. Democracies are even today very vulnerable against terror regimes...best example...2001 with all its financial consequences
This war was cause beacause of the competition of the armament in europe and the murder of the archi-duc Francois Ferdinand from austria by the serbian and because of the alliances systems in europe
You'd be suprised what a call of duty can do for a nation Actiontrip. Some of the boys coming home as heros with Victoria crosses were no different at the beginning than some people you would see sitting around in city centres unemployed. People simply need inspiration.
What a waste of young mens lives,to go and die at the beck and call of a so called english upperclass who were clinging onto the so called empire,how many poor irishmen died in vain with the false lies told to them of freedom for small nations,where was irelands freedom?The working class englishmen doing the dirty work for a group of inbred snobs and so called royalty(who are german),,a total waste of good men from all nations all dying for the greed of the few.
not sure what bit you a re referring to, but the shot of the huge Messines mine going off on 1 July 1916 - 1st day of Somme offensive and then the troops crossing the field right to left is now verified as true actual first real war footage ever, It also shows editing as too many British (Canadian / Newfoundlanders) were going down so there is a rough edit (stop start) until the field was full of live men again - -truth, the firsts casualty of War.
it wuz an exercise simpli because it isnt a typical britisch trench and they dont have there gear on and its on film i dont beleive a camara of that age would think of going in the trench and film where wizbangs and scrapnel that wissel and roar
Yes - this footage doesn't show the footage I am referring to (sorry for confusion) -generally everyone has the Hawthorne ridge mine at Beaumont Hamel going up - and probably familiar with the copse of trees now there - but just after the mine there is accompanying footage not always shown of allied men - Newfoundlanders - going across the right to left - and the introduction of selective editing - they thought they were going to film a walk over on 1/7/1916 - not a massacre
@metalmephisto How do you now what people will and won't do? Photographers go into warzones all the time to gather footage for the world and to be used as a reference in the future for history.
It's not up to the "camera" if it want's to go in there or not, thicko.
No WW1 was cause by the Frenchies who wan't revenged the German's cause the have one a importent war in 1870. WW2 whas caused by the German's. But one thing we must not forget they all died for the fatherland, and who care's from what country the come. There olso some Dutch guy's there on the batlle-field that's why this ware interesting me for a 19years old Dutch boy.
The pain and suffering that war brings to all human beings is useless.. and we forget fast, because after that horrible war, we have had more and more conflicts and killings all over the world.. human race, brother against brother.. no matter what country we are from
If you are interested in this you might just like the book 1914: Golgotha now out on Amazon.

Actually WW2 was worse. You were more likely to die in WW2 in any one theatre than any part of the Great War.
Trenches paradoxically are actually ver safe to be in compared to the open combat in 1918 and 1939-45
Also attacking the enemy lines wasnt suicide 99 per cent of the time
Also trenches were used to limited extents in ww2, although often smaller self contained trenches then trench systems

WWI- 70 million men deployed, 20 million MILITARY deaths. ~29% death rate
WWII- 100 million men deployed 24 million MILITARY deaths. ~24% death rate.

Way to under-report the military deaths of WW2, use the revised soviet losses. Also are you sure that includes the Chinese theatre?
fp470 2 years ago 5
The revised reports are almost entirely composed of chinese and russian civilians. And also I did count MIA as dead on both WWII and WWI.

Wrong
20 million in Russia alone.

@ele90 Yes but WW1 was 4 years. WW2 was 6. Keep that in mind.

It depends on your perspective a bit, and where you were.
For Instance GB WWI military casualties 908,371 killed,
( 4.9m wounded 2.5m missing or prisoners)
whereas GB WWII
382,700 military deaths - less than half.
So trenches didn't really save the British servicemen compared to WWII
On the other hand, Russia is horrendous - but not primarily through military loss, rather civillian extermination programs.
Fizzypop1211 1 year ago
@Fizzypop1211 That comparisson is a bit flawed since the mobilisation rate for Britain in WW1 was higher, also it does not consider lenght of contact with the enemy. In reality trench warfare has lower casualty rates than open warfare. Also that firgure you offer does not consider that fact Britain's highest casualty rates were in the open warfare of 1914 and then in 1918's counter offensives. Trench warfare is less lethal than open warfare but engenders longer contact with the enemy.

@iakodu Not really overrated, but I think the psychologial effects were much larger in the first world war.
Going over the top was probably one of the scariest things. Not to mention all the new weapons people never experienced before (on a large scale). Gas, Tanks, Airplanes, flamethrowers etc. Further life in the trenches must have been hell. Sure Stalingrad wasn't a nice place to be too, but still.

Again, no. It's the contrary.
France & England are in great part responsible for the second world war, since they declared war to Germany! They were punished for that, particularly France.
The first world war?
In 1914, France didn't care any longer about avenging her 1871 defeat: It was old history, after two generations. England certainly had an imperial policy and cared about the balance on the continent, but was absolutely unprepared for war. Germany planned & declared the war.

Huschtensaft 2 years ago
They did not "defend your Vaterland". Germany attacked and invaded Belgium, France and Russia, which of course defended themselves. German war crimes provoked the intervention of the British and finally of the USA. In the end, Germany was beaten and got its just desert. Please stop believing in those nationalist legends, which paved the way for Hitler.
Fridomfry 2 years ago
Germany was responsible for the second world war but not for the first world war. This war came from the imperial policy of all european powers. France wanted revenche for the 1871 defeat. England wanted to keep the balance on the continent. All euopean powers therefor were responsible for this war.
Thanks therefor to the German heros giving their lives for the freedom and integrity of the Vaterland
Huschtensaft 2 years ago
Sorry, but that's rubbish and you know it. It was only necessary to "keep the balance on the continent" because of Germany's expansionist policies. Belgium was trampled over as if it didn't exist; France would have been crushed had Britain and its Allies not intervened. Luckily Germany was defeated partly by its own arrogance, imagining it could win a war on two fronts.

It was thanks to Wilhelm II that Germany performed an aggresive politics to obtain a platz an die Sonne. And what did they defend, certainly not Germany. Most of the fighting was in France and Belgium. Germany is not solely responsible for the war but they had a great deal in it. And the German army was never completely defeated, so I have to say it again.

They didn't defend anything. The Entente were not planning to destroy and annexate germany. Somethimes I feel sorry they didn't, because then there wouldn't be a second world war.

@Huschtensaft
This is a misleading answer
The Krauts were preparing for a war in some shape or form - Schlieffen Plan even identified the necessity for rapid troop movements to avoid a 2 front war because they knew their enemies. The Balkans may never have exploded the way it did if Germany hadn't been such a ready ally giving added confidence to the situation.
However, it is right to say Europe had, by 1914, become 2 armed camps, Deterence didn't work as the Axis were up for starting a fight.

look on it from the one perspective they had the right to emerge victorious, and from the other they also think they had the right to win. But if you look on it from e neutral perspective you can see that noone of them needed to fight, their own stupidity brought them to this point
Killare2 2 years ago
I think it's a stupidity to deem very far away generations' deeds and thoughts 'from the comfortable point of view of today's. And I see it from the British point of view, this was either to fight for Belgium, or to end being Austro-Hungarian. The neutral perspective only shows me that it's very easy to critisize other people's actions when that one who does it, just simply watches from behind a safe barricade of circumstances and time.

The great war was caused by three fuses, number 1 a struggle for empires , number 2, an arms race between germany and england who were both trying to outbuild each other with bigger and better ships, number 3 the alliance systems and finally the spark, the assassination of archduke franz ferdinandthis then caused a huge events which started world war 1.

The Germans. Cause the social parties, the folks parties were discredited by the nobilitiy and later Nazis. So the Weimar republic was doomed from the beginning, without the help of the old and stable democracies of France and the UK. So it was easy for Hitler to manipulate the weak democracy for his own aims. Democracies are even today very vulnerable against terror regimes...best example...2001 with all its financial consequences

not sure what bit you a re referring to, but the shot of the huge Messines mine going off on 1 July 1916 - 1st day of Somme offensive and then the troops crossing the field right to left is now verified as true actual first real war footage ever, It also shows editing as too many British (Canadian / Newfoundlanders) were going down so there is a rough edit (stop start) until the field was full of live men again - -truth, the firsts casualty of War.

Yes - this footage doesn't show the footage I am referring to (sorry for confusion) -generally everyone has the Hawthorne ridge mine at Beaumont Hamel going up - and probably familiar with the copse of trees now there - but just after the mine there is accompanying footage not always shown of allied men - Newfoundlanders - going across the right to left - and the introduction of selective editing - they thought they were going to film a walk over on 1/7/1916 - not a massacre
