Publicado 2014-09-12
In which John Green teaches you about World War I and how it got started. Crash Course doesn't usually talk much about dates, but the way that things unfolded in July and August of 1914 is kind of important to understanding the Great War. You'll learn about Franz Ferdinand, Gavrilo Princip, the Black Hand, and why the Serbian nationalists wanted to kill the poor Archduke. You'll also learn who mobilized first and who exactly started the war. Sort of. Actually, there's no good answer to who started the war, but we give it a shot anyway.

    The comments in Crash course world history videos: 33% Mongol memes 40% people who are asking others if they are studying for tests like them 27% actual discussions about history

    Otto Von Bismarck said '' One day the great European War will come out of some damned foolish thing in the Balkans'' he was reffering WW1 and he said that 36 years before First World War.

    I can't be the only one watching this for a history exam ?
  • @FreshHas
    What makes history so fascinating is that the events themselves can be interpreted in so many ways. You could find in the unfolding events an argument that pins the blame on really any of these powers. John Green here in this video did a great job of illustrating this.

    What i learned from crash course: So archduke Franz Ferdinands death was due to a butterfly flapping its wings... The butterfly was the initial cause of world war 1 and eventually world war 2. Makes sense.
  • @bracken1000
    Gavrilo Princip was the most influential man of the 20th century, not because he was an inventor or a brilliant mind but because the incident he caused had a domino effect that still affects the world today.
  • @Jotari
    1:50 so the butterfly started World War One! Of course. No one suspects the butterfly!
  • @Bibky
    So a guy killed a guy so that guys group of guys got mad at the other guys group of guys so they attacked those group of guys so the other group of guys call in their friend guy who owned a grouped of guys and then the original guy that got killed group of guys called in their friend guy who owned a group of guys so another group of guys also helped that other other group of guys so then the Original guy who got killed group of guys ally attacked a group of guys to get to the other other other group of guys but then another group of guys allied to those group of guys came in to attack those group of guys attacking there friends... So like that?

    I miss going to school and my teacher having him as a way to explain us each topic and all of us would watch him. I mean I could learn this without a teacher, but it’s not the same and I miss my world studies class. The only class I liked tbh
