The ENTIRE History of WORLD WAR 1 | How Did Four Empires Destroy Each Other? | To Fall Asleep To
A four and a half hour narrated history of the First World War in thirty chapters, rebuilt here in full: the alliances and the July Crisis telegram by telegram, the Schlieffen Plan's death at the Marne, trench life, Tannenberg and Brusilov, Gallipoli, U-boats and aces, the home fronts, America's entry, the Russian Revolution, Verdun and the Somme, gas and tanks, the Hundred Days and the silence at 11 a.m. It follows how the German, Austro-Hungarian, Russian and Ottoman empires each collapsed from within, then through Versailles, reparations, the Lost Generation, the new map and the road to 1939. With a July Crisis cascade, a Marne map, a trench diagram, a casualty chart and a four empires table.
