Funfact: The German General Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck held out for 4 years with 14.000 soldiers (3000 Germans and 11.000 Africans or Askaris) against 300.000 British soldiers despite being cut off from any supply line. He did this by being a brilliant strategist who moved his troops quickly and efficiently but also by treating his African troops as equals to the other Germans. During the Spanish Flu, when rations dwindled, only few soldiers deserted since they had all become so loyal and attached to von Lettow-Vorbeck. Decades later, in 1964 when von Lettow-Vorbeck died, the West-German Bundestag (parliament) decided to give back dated pay to all the surviving Askaris. So, a banker was flown to Mwanza at Lake Victoria who set up a provisional cashier‘s office. 350 former soldiers returned but only few of them could present documents, which von Lettow-Vorbeck had handed them out by the end of the war, to prove that they had served. So instead, others showed their uniforms to prove their service but there were still many left with no evidence. Then, the cashier had an idea: He gave all the men a broomstick and ordered them to perform the Prussian/German drill like they would‘ve done with a weapon. Not a single one of them failed the test and they were given their pay.

I like the theory that the assassin was eating a sandwich before the archduke came. Can you imagine hearing about your friend’s failed assassination attempt, then go out to have lunch at your local sandwich shop, only to come out and see the duke right there.

when he talked about the trench warfare, it just sends chill to my body. So many men have to faced intense fear and died for nothing, maybe not even an inch of land gain for their death. Rest in peace soldiers. You all were born in a wrong time. May God bless your soul.

I'd recommend reading "A Short History of WWI" by Norman Stone. Fairly quick reading, and goes over these points and the wider political context in more detail- not quite as Oversimplified, but better than a textbook.

Hace 4 mesesNoah Ramey
@Black Haze yeah that’s true.
Hace 4 mesesBlack Haze
@Noah Ramey Yes it would have had a different outcome but major powers in Europe were trying to find excuses to try out their new weapons(like germans) to conquer others for their own interests. This is an undeniable fact. Wars were more common back in the day as well and it was a matter of someone invented the atomic bomb to stop all major wars. Which is what happened in the end.
Hace 4 mesesNoah Ramey
@Black Haze well yes but actually no. Tensions were rising greatly, but the war still could’ve been avoided if we got lucky enough. Even still if the war did still happen, it would’ve happened later and played out differently and would’ve gave a different outcome.
Hace 4 mesesBlack Haze
@Noah Ramey WW1 was unavodiable though. Something else would have triggered it if the assasination didn't occur.
