most people think that world war 2 is more exciting than world war 1, but i think it's the other way around because in world war one it was infantey man aginst infantry man and in world war 2 it was machine aginst machine in wich i find less inresting.

@BigMTBrain - By "public-funded" I mean, not through personal money and fund-raising, but by equally distributed, tax-generated campaign funds.

(pt 1) Excellent series! While watching, it occurred to me, what a HUGE mental blind spot on world affairs a person has when not well-acquainted with and appreciative of history. How can one understand the shape of the world today and avoid future pitfalls without knowing what forces and actions led it to being the way it is? Our current system (in the U.S.) of having limited choices among those who are rich enough to campaign is somewhat pathetic. The rich are not necessarily equipped to lead..
Thanks for putting this up. I have a hard time absorbing textbooks but if I hear something it stays with me forever!

Man’s greatest folly is our inability to reason with our selves and prevent such barbaric actions such as war. WWI is the perfect example of this. Was there a need for this war? No! Never-the-less, millions of people died as a result of our stupidity and twenty some odd years later the survivors of that war would start a second world war. These videos are a necessity so our children will learn from them and not make the same errors. May GOD have mercy on us all!
