#EpicHistoryTV #WorldWarOne #WW1
I hope you enjoy our complete history of World War One - 'the war to end all wars'. This series - produced in 2015 - has been re-edited and re-released in 2022, as previous versions were age-restricted by KZhead (presumably because human remains were visible in a few photographs - though always in a clearly historical, non-sensationalist context. The precise reason is never given by KZhead. For those interested in what an 18+ history video looks like, you can watch the previous version here: kzhead.info/sun/eqtpfL1whn54enA/bejne.html). Unpredictable decisions by KZhead can make life quite uncertain for military history creators, which is why we are so grateful to all our supporters at Patreon - please consider joining their ranks! www.patreon.com/EpicHistoryTV

Enjoy the work, keep it up 👍
Will you make a similar video on WW2
I'm waiting for Ww2 Version
Age restriction because of human remain oh I wonder why it's a ww1 idots like do people not expect people died in war documentary like it has war I don't know but I see it's really dumb.
It's insane hearing the losses of individual battles. "60,000," "100,000," 'quarter of a million." Each of those people had families, passions, stories, dreams. Forever silenced by war.
The easiest way to depopulate the world is through war.
People die anyway and Earth is too crowded.
Tbf war is normal for the people 1950s and below, we're just Lucky the world is focusing more on economy now than expanding territories.
Especially the two million figure by austro hungary. Insane
@@verginn I'd say that nowadays proxy wars and unconventional warfare are much more viable, politically and economically
What a shame that KZhead continues to mistreat creators like this channel. Thank you for continuing to provide us this wonderful content.
How's the channel being mistreated?
@@chez372 Censoring and demonetized his videos. In other words youtube is censoring history.
say “Germany” demonetized lol
I guess KZhead just afraid of what the next war is gonna bring because by the looks of things. Its building up. And with nuclear weapons involve this won't be nothing.
@@yaasinm it’s not censoring. youtube algorithm just sucks. a lot of good content creators face mistreatment regardless of their topic of their content. youtube in general sucks at creating good space for creators who want to make best content. it’s a space for brain dead content creators. creators who push out lazy 10 min videos are being rewarded
I watched this endless times. Please release WW2. GREAT WORK!
WW2 from space.
Yeah!!!
Watch "BBC WW1 The Great War" Incredibly broad ,24, 1 hour episodes ,or the Battlefield series by Vasile Luga.
Watch Apocalypse: WWII
Watch john wick
I return to this masterpiece from time to time to remind myself of how lucky I am to live in this day and age. Best WW1 document ever
Try BF1
These days? There's a big war going on these very days, killing at least 1000 people daily, including civilians. These days...
There is a channel called the great war that breaks the war down week by week. Its a lovely channel.
If you like this you'll love WW1 week by week. It's the most complete and detailed documentary of WW1. They are in the middle of doing WW2 week by week. That's also a good one
@@theterrorvortex6415 I just read your comment as soon after I typed mine. I think they are the best documentary team so far
Feel like I just learned more in one hour than I did during an entire course in school. Incredible video. What an amazing job you guys did here.
Yeah no same. I had absolutely no idea how many countries were involved and the mass casualty rates. It really was a world war
Same I went from knowing nothing about ww1 to knowing everything and this video gave me the interest!
So, you didnt listen in school.. Shame on you!
Absolutely true.
Oh yeah, if you hope to learn history at all, just know it’s not through school The way school systems teach history is terrible
The amount of people who died in this war was unreal.... young teenagers from all parts. R.i.p to all the troops.
think of all the family trees that ended in this war... SMH
All for imaginary boundaries, jokes on us.
I encourage you to look at the Population pyramid between 1914 to 2014 for France, Germany or Russia... it is scary. Google it is it easy to find
Its just insane how Germany was single handedly standing strong against all the allied forces😮
am amazed by the German army's and how ruthless they are and their very tough to face it alone🤔
So true. Imagine, it takes over 4 countries just to beat Germany. At least if Germany stopped with France in Ww2 we'd have great sauseges instead of baguettes....
Germany was not alone. Without Austria-Hungary Germany will not resist one years. Where you study history? On Mickey Mouse?
@@giudicedredd9195yes yes you are right mickey mouse. We saw at ww2 who with who and who is really strong.
Germany was pretty amazing, they had to carry so hard for their allies inventing all this tech and how well trained they were.
I know one day this Re-Edit will achieve the heights it's predecessor did. Shame on all the censors who flagged the 2021 version. Thank You, Toby. This is a masterpiece.
Why was the previous flagged?
@@mikecostanza303 because how dare you talk about the horrible things that happen during war.

@@fernandocores7279I’ve been waiting for it for years
The score and effect in the background is perfect placement.
I am simply amazed at how much detail of the flow of WW1 can be compressed into a two hour presentation, and still be crystal clear for understanding. This is easily one of the best histories I have ever seen.
Shut up
The winner writes the history. There is much we don’t know
@@mikeherrera5302 But in all honesty...would you really want to know it? It would only be MORE horror. We could never fully document everything that happens in conflict. Just take the Russia/Ukraine war as an example.
@@OneBiteoftheCherrycorrect if the nazis write history books it would be pure propaganda
Germans always want to pick a fight. Their Greens are the most bellicose group now, and usually Greens are pacifists.
Back in mid 1990s, I’d spend my summers reading the encyclopedia about world wars, including ww1. I was engrossed with the story and the photos i would see in the pages of our two volumes of encyclopedias. After finishing the ww stories in one encyclopedia brand, I would go and read the other brand. People today are so blessed being able to watch such an amazing animated rendition of ww1. Thank you for this video! ❤
I think most of us could achieve rank up to Cadet Corporal just by memorising this video.
Me too buddy! All we had were books. I remember as a boy going to the public library and reading about countries and their writing systems, the planets of the solar system, the ancient ruins. The pursuit of knowledge was something that had to be planned and executed. I like your statement about this day and age and how everything is just a click away! Like what I am watchi now
Go watch Europa the last battle
@@wailingalen i can imagine how you planned your library “excursions”. I was blessed with the fact that my mom was a fan of reading and bought us books, books with photos, books with just texts on them, small books, huge books, soft cover ones and hard laminated books. Books were the thing a few years back
I feel like the scale of destruction in WWI was lost on me as a kid when I first learned about it. It wasn’t until I started learning about earlier conflicts from just a few decades prior that I really started to understand just how unfathomable it must have been.
They just kept sending men to die.
Google Spanish flu 1918
I feel gross watching this without paying money. It’s easy to tell this was made with love and a passion for history. In a time when fewer and fewer people appreciate the past, this channel shines like a beacon in the darkness. That sounds dramatic but I don’t care.
Thank you so much for your generous contribution and support of the channel!
KZhead really needs to leave the history producers alone and stop changing their standards arbitrarily.. Thank you guys for not scrapping the old version of the video like some channels have a tendency to do. You guys truly are Epic! ❤
Some alternatives must be found beacuse KZhead's censorship is getting worse. Awful
What’s KZhead’s issue with the channel?
@@jbllc6873 they've just gone absolutely wild with censorship recently. Pro-Ukrainian channels covering the current war have also become demonetised and videos have been brought down. KZhead as we know it is dying, but unfortunately all the alternatives suck

@@magtinfal7908 thats what I said
@@magtinfal7908😥 well i should of said I HOPE they do lolz
I don`t find it fantastic at all. It doesn't consider so many details we already know. Gerry Docherty & Jim Macgregors view on this war is quite the opposite of this version here. As long as the old story is told, nothing will change. The told story is: Germany starts the war. But it isn't that easy! Germany's not an actor, it is reacting. You might read a lot of books and listen to many historians, but to get a close look on historic truths, you must also read the inconveniant historians and and one must ask oneself whether these alternative views are not plausible. Without learning facts from books like "Hidden history", "Prolonging the agony" and "Wiederkehr der Hasardeure" (transl. return of the hasardeurs), you cannot break up encrusted victors' history and make the truths visible. The only way to prevent history from repeating is to understand the mechanisms that led to mobilisation and declaration of war. The back story is the linchpin.
My grand grandfather (*1898) was in Austrohungarian army in battle at Piava river. He killed an italian soldier with a bayonette in tense situation close combat. He worked as explosion engineer in mines in Moravia later in his life.
this is genuinely one of the most informational captivating videos ive ever watched. The explanation paired with the display of the map and extremely well representation of who was fighting where when and who they were fighting against along with the music and absolutely perfect narration makes this easily one of the best videos ive ever seen. So glad i stumbled on this video cause wow I just learned more in an hour than I did about this damn war throughout highschool.
As tragic as it may sound, this is one of my favourite videos on KZhead. Thank you so much for all this hard work to everyone involved!
The background music is too loud. He should delete this, turn down the music to a lower level and then upload. Too loud.

Definitly needed
The best documentary on this conflict to date. I insist that we need one like this one about the second world war. Congratulations to @epichistorytv, the way you deliver this content is paramount.
Very well put together and executed. Great work all who participated and all who supported them whether noticed or not.... I got a lot out of this; it helped me to string dispirate parcells of previous knowledge into a more coherent appreciation of events before, during and after. Thanks.
Far more interesting than any history lesson at school.... Gives me goosebumps everytime I re-watch it...
especially the truce on the first Christmas in the trenches
Got chills at the very beginning
This am going to definitely share with kids at my tennis academy !!!!
When I was a boy, the men who fought in WWII were in their 50s and 60s, and I talked to several old men in their 70s and 80s who had fought in the "Great War." Some of them knew men in their youth who fought in the American Civil War. It's crazy to think that I "knew the men who knew the men" who encapsulate so much defining history of our nation. I watch this perspective ebbing away, everyone buried in the current petty age. Even if it dies with me, I'll carry it proudly to the end.
we forget so easily especially in our modern world
war is nothing to be proud of
completely missed the point, he's talking about the history carried by the men who fought in the war@@shravan8848
@@shravan8848I don't think he was talking about the war itself, but the men who survived and managed to move forward after the horrific things they have seen during the war. These men deserve to be proud of.
@@d.r.v.r.war and slavery is the way of mankind though out all of human history. It is the fact that first two white christian men who first stood against slavery and were successful because of JESUS CHRIST. First in England then America but it was very costly to the nations .

Freedom and peace have come at a very high price because those men were willing to sacrifice their entire live for the betterment of their children and humanity because of JESUS CHRIST. Do a lot more studying and research on the subjects.
Wow this is stunning. Without a doubt the most comprehensive info on this war that has been put together for free
Bro I can't explain how I am feeling.These animations, background sounds, editing literally made me fall in love with history ❤
It’s incredible how little I have heard about the eastern front of WW1. It was unbelievably brutal
The Eastern Front during both world wars were brutal on their own
@@a_09.7 Eastern and Balkan front were much more brutal than the Western front.
Unfortunately this includes some very distorted propaganda. The Lusitania was carrying munitions and it's sank because the munition blew up. In 1980 the admiralty warned off salvage crews because there was still live ammunitions on the wreck. The ship sank in 15 minutes very close to land because while there was a small entry hole for the torpedo there was a very large one on the other side where the munitions exploded. Churchill was part of orchestrating this deception.
@@7Quarryman Churchill was a demon
@@7Quarryman To what end? To bring USA into the war? I’ve no doubt there was lots of deception to convince the US into joining
I got my whole class even the teacher to subscribe your channel. Thank you for your hard work.
i love how you explain things, making everything clear and enjoyable!
All about this video is perfect: the script, the narration, the map and, undoubtedly, the soundtrack. It was so skillfully prepared that I have just found myself watching it for the fourth time in a year. It is not only the best documentary about the WW1 but also should be placed among the best documentaries of all time and topics. As a learner of English, I would like to express special gratitude to the magnificent narrator of this channel as he manages to keep a decent pace while enabling even non-natives to catch his every word.

Has it really been 4 fkn months since that movie came out?!
Love this so much. The music, the narration, the visuals, the pace, detail, everything. Well done.
This is so informative! Importantly, it gives a good overall view of those years. Something I would never grasp by myself. Thank you!
That is a heartbreaking amount of human loss. Thanks, for the awesome content!
Tsar Nicholas II of Russia ,King George V of UK, and Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany were all cousins , their grandmother were Queen Victoria. Kaiser Wilhelm II once said “If our grandmother, Queen Victoria was alive, she would have stopped us cousins from going into war”

A great summary of World War I, when I learned it at school 20 years ago I found it complicated, this visualization helped me to understand better what the main phases were and what strategic concepts did both the Allies and the Central Powers pursue and why the war had such an important impact on modern Europe and today's politics...A big thank you to the whole team for this outstanding work!!! Best regards from Poland, one of the emerging states after the war :) We value the 2nd Republic, Marshal Pilsudski and commemorate it's creation each year on the 11th of November

Big fan of this history, spent a winter reading the entire book by John Keegan on this subject and it was time well spent. Your progam is excellent, especially considering how much material you covered in the span of just over an hour. People tend to gloss over the Dardanelles and the Armenian tragedy, so that was much appreciated. Thank you for putting this all together in an easily digested format. I've subscribed to your channel and I'm enjoying your other content.
Very generous, thank you! I’m also a big Keegan fan.
@A Z Vimy was little more than a footnote in the grand scheme of the war.
@@EpichistoryTv Can you make a ww2 of this
It wasn't a genocide. The Armenians betrayed and attacked us in the war. Although they were belong to the Ottoman Empire, they supported Russia. Therefore, we forced them to migrate, the main point of immigration was Anatolia cities not desert. They suffered as a result of immigration yes, so sorry I wish it hadn't. But what else could be done to treason during a war? We also suffered. Most importantly, there was no any genocide. Western media always full in hypocrisy...

Great work. It gives great lesson if we are ready to learn from the damages created by wars.
I love how they keep referring to the map, helps hold the whole documentary together, but then there's all this cool footage that also keeps it so interesting.
Incredible production value! Learned only minor details about WW1 in school, but this video has really shown me how vast in scope it was. The number of casualties is absolutely staggering. Never knew how bad it really got.
He just forgote The Finnish civil war where germany helped The whites win
I never heard much about the ottomans vs Russians and the colonies fighting in Africa
I knew a bit of this war. But this channel learned me everything of this war. Thanks for creating this.
Germany: "I declare war on Russia... and France." France: "Yo, wtf?"
Moral of the story: Germany is a beast. It looked like from the start till the end they won most battles and attacks and caused the most damage even though the allies had more troops and basically the whole world on their side. As an Austrian I'm not ashamed to say that Germany carried this fight for us. When I saw The US declared war on Germany I knew it was game over though. I took WW1 in school as it's a huge part of our history, but some things were forgotten so I just wanna thank the people who made this incredible film for making it so detailed and visually amazing :)

Best WW1 presentation I've ever seen. This video should be in a curriculum.
I feel like if someone who fought in WW1 watched this they would simultaneously be happy that we haven't forgotten, but also sad that their roughly 4 years of suffering had been condensed into an hour long video.
Better one hour than nothing at all. Video was excellent for us armchair historians who have read some books on the topic, to refresh our memory.
This is an amazing hour well spent
They would more likely be amazed at how an hour long video could summarize a war like that. What is crazy is an American could have seen the Spanish American war, ww1, ww2, Korea, and Vietnam in their lifetime. They probably would have served in at least one of them and they would have seen how technology in warfare advanced
I wish there was more on World War I. I really enjoyed this coverage. Thank you so much. 10/10
Quite a lot to take in but a very comprehensive examination of WW1. Great work.
Such a brutal war. Ww2 was heavier in losses and just as horrific, but WWI is so sobering. Just the fact of surviving the beginning to the end of the war is so limited.

It's because no one really wanted it, they had bigger fish to fry and prizes installed

@@lordlycan5035 What uni did you go to? Did you pursue M.A. in History? What specialization, if any? Thank you!
@@ranjittyagi9354 Marjons in Plymouth, it was affiliated with Exeter back then, Renaissance and reformation, and the English revolution/war. (Depending on your views). Was going to carry on towards an ma. So did a couple of extra modules on the Ou. But it never materialised.
The best 1 hour Display of w w 1 I have ever seen . By far . A really nice job.
A great, informative documentary. First class.
I have studied WW2 ad nauseam. Not taking anything from those brave men and women of that war. But I have been studying WW1 a little over a year now. The intricacies of this wars start is fascinating. And the lessons learned in this war trickled into WW2 and modern warfare. Epic history did a phenomenal job breaking down this epic yet tragic war and the implications it has had on our lives. Thank you Epic History.
To really understand WW2 you have to understand WW1
I saw no justification in WWI, but I think some in World War II
Just when you hear 150000 casualties and think that's way too much, then you hear 240000 casualties in one battle, on one side and you ask "with such losses, how did they not run out of men?"
Rewritten history... the "his"-story doesn't even make sense as you pointed out... but empty heads buy into any BS.
one general said these are commoners we have more of them.
By 1913 Europe's total population (including Russia) was 498 million. Around 60 million men were mobilised, with total losses being somewhere around 9 million soldiers. Another 9 million were taken as prisoners. So, that's 18 million, and 21 million men were wounded. So that's 39 million casualties in total. Considering that the total number of fighting men was 60 million, they weren't that far off from running out of men lol. And of course that doesn't even include civilian deaths.
@@jasoncropley5334 I think you're looking at combined military and civilian losses of 16 million.
@@JFDA5458 Yeah you're right. Plus the 9 million deaths were military personnel rather than just soldiers
1:02:46 thanks for let us know epic history tv you are a legend
Thoroughly enjoyed this. Thank you ❤
Thank you for such a complete yet concise summary of WW1 together with its causes and effects. Both my grandfathers fought in the trenches of that vile war so I feel I should know as much about it as possible.
The best channel on KZhead. I rewatch the WW1 and Napoleon series over and over again. So good
Not one mention of any of the 6 - 7 positions the Canadians secured after Vimy Ridge, they were virtually unstoppable till the end of the war after Vimy. The Germans feared them.
Fr the Canadians were ruthless in war
Not only ruthless but smart
@@Ender-bu7bh yes, thanks to General Arthur Currie and the men he had fighting for him.
The most comprehensive summary of WW1, excellent work!
This video goes further than most other historical accounts on how global WWI - and all its epic madness- really was. 👍
I am super amazed with the narrator, his voice gives an awesome air of authority over historical topics like this! Other Historical Channels (mostly on TV) should take note of this
First video that did justic to all the parties involved in the war , very objective and detail ; keep on the good work
Thank for sharing
To my discredit, I never knew much about WW I. But this utterly gripping documentary has helped to change that. It's an edge-of-your seat thriller accented by stunning casualty figures, perpetual Allied setbacks, and the pointlessness of it all. It gobsmacked me like little else I've learned about in history, Most of all, I was amazed at how truly 'world' this war was. Thank you, Epic History TV, for your substantial contribution to educating people like me about the true scope and cost of war, one whose wages are still being paid today.
Congratulations on producing one of THE greatest documentaries about the First World War. Never before have I seen such a clear comprehensive film that manages to cover the entire history of the War across all fronts in a simple straightforward no nonsense manner. This must've taken months of planning and preparation with many drafts and redrafts in order to boil it down to this excellent presentation. It would be great if you could also break it down into 3 or 4 parts that would make it easier to absorb- the current length is a bit daunting! Well done and thanks for this fantastic resource.
Rothschild funded both sides in this war
Its 5 parts put into one. Asking it to be split kinda defeats the purpose of this Video.
