  1. It didnt really matter. All what mattered if Russia entered WWI or not. Liberals liked WWI as much as the tzar did, because they were convinced by the western powers to be involved, Russia was unprepared and couldnt be prepared even under a liberal government under such a short time, Kerensky didnt want to quit, that was the cause of his downfall, so they would have been overthrown as he did. Commies on the other hand didnt like WWI they thought it as a war between the elites and aristocracies fought by the working class, so they were the ideal candidates to overthrow all the other political forces.

  2. They didnt even entered the Austro Hungarian Empire. Ok they did once but they were pushed back. After the great retreat every single offensive was going on their territory. The same is true for the Ottoman Empire, they fought in the Russian Caucasus.

  3. Lol this guy is as Czech as Im am a pigmee, he doesnt even know about Skoda. And he is talking about the Molotov Ribbentrop pact, while the Soviet Union was the only nation which officially complained at the partition of Czechoslovakia. @motanulatomic

  4. 100% Russia. They betrayed Bulgaria for Serbia in the second Balkans war, basically muscled for a balkans where noone really liked them anymore except the Serbs, whom they couldnt reach anyway. The tzar sided with kingslayers instead of demanding an apology, his whole attitude was arrogant irresponsible and dismissive. Even Austria and Serbia acted with more wisdom.Germany was chilvarous honouring its alliance towards Austria in dark times.

  5. The sole time when American soldiers actually met with the German military, not retirees, misfits, and unwilling poles/czechs/slavs on the western front was the Battle of the Bulge, and they didnt even know where to run from them.  @Andrew2k18

  6. Well, noone can argue they did better in WWII, at the end they captured Berlin at least. The funny thing is, every BS myth what the nazi generals invented to shed better light on them from the Russian horde swarming without rifles, and our machinegunners mowed them down like grass did really happened in WWI not in WWII yet people say how awesome they were. That shows how politics determine our view in history, if a rightwinger inept army marching around with their stoneage equipment losing half of their European territory at the end, thast awesome, with the wonderful martyr tzar, if the devil commies capturing half of Europe, then they were the worst army in the history of mankind forced ahead only by the whips of the worst generals ever. And people actually dont see how indoctrinated BS they are spewing.

  7. Lol, no dear, the first thing what the bolshies did, was to sue for peace with the Germans, and they even gave up today's poland just to finish the war in the treaty of Brest Litovsk. Why are you fabricating history? @MicahDamger

  8. The things what you call nowadays national security including 8 hour workdays, pensions and state healthcare was made by a guy named Bismark in Germany.

  9. Thats pretty much BS. Germans knew from the getgo, they have to fend off the Russians. If that wouldnt be the case Austrians wouldnt need them, western powers could by no means threaten Austria, they had a good enough fleet to fend off a potential troop deployment in the Adriatic, so there wouldnt be a way to reach them.  @volbound1700

  10. Can you explain me why horrible soviets sending in people without rifles at stalingrad (which is an actual myth just watch TIK where he debunks it), is a crime against humanity, while good tzarist rightwingers sending people without rifles against machine gun nests(which was a well documented fact), they can hold the front for years? People are actually not idiots and they dont like if you send them to death without the slightest chance of success, regardless of leftwinger or rightwinger government does it, they will simply flee as they did, it had nothing to do with the commies.

  11. Lol yeah sure the Danube flottilla conquered Belgrade in the same afternoon as the war broke out. Not that the Serbs didnt fight well, but telling that they stood a chance against the empire is extensively funny. Yeah I know they did better in Kosovo, but thats only a moral victory, when all of their important infrastructure and cities are in enemy hands, and they only can achieve partial successes in the mountains. @easycake3251

  12. Well for some strange reasons 100 million people joined up with the reds in the civil war, so he did screw it up brilliantly I guess.

  13. You are canoeing on dangerous waters. If we would refer to lets say Georgia as the Soviet union, then objectively the worst bloodsucker and tyrant comrade Stalin was actually Georgian, not Russian, so by that logic poor Russians suffered under Georgian yoke.And half of their big comrades were actually Ukrainians, including Kruschev, Breznev and Andropov. Now can we say, that the Ukrainian lobby pushed poor Russians in joke to punish Hungary and Czechoslovakia, and they ordered the capture of Afghanistan? By the way what you see and identify as Ukraine on this map was given originally to Poland by the entente, so does that mean that poor Ukrainians suffered under Polish joke, which was corrected by uncle Stalin and the Molotov Ribbentrop pact? Ok in turn Poland received German territory after the war, their country was pushed westwards, where not a single Pole lived like ever does that mean that Germans are still living under Polish joke? History isnt exactly nice people doing nice things, its a violent clash of civilizations. We dont ask too many questions and leave things as they are, because if we would then all nations in the world would turn out to be violent oppressors, where Russia isnt even the worstone, and those who think themselves the most enlightened has the most oppression in their countries.

  14. Then how come the Austro Hungarian army got 500 km behind their border?

  15. Well technically they offered a white peace in 1917, so Britain and France wouldnt have lost, they wouldnt have won either. @kennethoram4292

  16. They had moments. They threw the Italians out of the conflict for half a year, by ordering the Kiregsmarine along the Italian shoreline bombarding all their railways, while they were mobilizing.

  17. Marne? My friend, germans actually reached the suburbs of Paris during the Schliffen plan, French have to throw people at them from the city to push them back.

  18. Yeah, those fairy tailed revolutionaries made Russia a superpower in 30 years, which the tzar couldnt do in a 1000 years. Maybe bolshies had their downs, but they were way more advanced than the old elite.

  19. There are multiple historical errors in what you are saying. Mao wasnt in a direct political contact with the last emperor, because the last emperor resigned from the Chinese throne in 1910, maybe he should have been a little bit angry, that ha was a puppetlord for the Japanese in Manchuria, but Mao's direct competitor for power was Chang Hay Shek, who fled to Taiwan. And bolshies didnt actually planned to execute the royal family, as it happened in the Russian civil war the Czechoslovak legion which fought on the white side made a succesful counterattack, and were very close to Yekaterinburg when the local commander made the decision that the family cant fall into the hand of royalists. It is even debated that Lenin actually knew about the plan. Not that it was a nice decision, but every single military commander would have done that in his position. Of course bolshies didnt let the royalist army parading around with the tzar holding their banner.

  20. It wasnt exactly planned. Whites made a counterattack and came dangerously close to their location. Bolshies didnt want to risk the family falling into the hands of loyalists, so they got rid of them instead.

  21. They werent exactly weak, Austrians and Bulgarians could achieve success against the Russians. But the Ottoman Empire was on its deathbed, Austria was a multiethnic state where a lot of ethnicities wanted independence, and the British navy could lay an effective continental blockade which even the Germans couldnt break. The decisive factor was Italy joining the Entente, if that wouldnt happen, Germans could most likely beat the French and British in France. The second thing that Germans were the best prepared nation for WWI, Bismark knew, that at some point in time it is inevitable that Britain and Germany will fight a war for colonial influence and started an intensive diplomatic maneuvering, built up the German navy to its all time peak, and invested heavily in military.

  22. So basically do what Stalin did. Ok, but Stalin had a very extensive modernisation campaign, which wasnt succesful in some fronts, very succesful in others, and he wasnt reigning against the will of the majority, well because no matter what police state some owns noone can stay in power against the will of the majority.

  23. Lol yeah Russians most likely lost to the Japs because the British didnt let the Baltic fleet through the Suez canal. By the time they went around Africa, their ships were in horrible condition and their crew absolutely demoralized.

  24. Lol its like talking about what Afghanistan refuses from the US after the WTC bombings. Serbian secret service operatives (proven fact) killed the Austrian heir in Austrian territory virtually every single government in the world would have punished the perpetrators for that. I know that war propaganda on Entente side later distorted the views of the general public, but war propaganda is not history. Austrians had every right to ask total access to Serbia to investigate, even the contemporary British and French government and press were supportive, up until Germany declared war on Russia. OK maybe the French were itching for war a littlebit, they had some unsettled scores with the Prussians for Alsace Lotharingien, and they were hostile towards anything Austria did, like since the Ottoman conquests, so maybe they were involved in the string of actions we will never know.

  25. French and the British didnt consider it thatway they enlisted Russia amongst the Central Powers as the losing side. I guess they expected much more, for example them not needing to get the Americans on board, and not losing millions on the western front. They could have given back territory to them regardless of what they signed with the Germans, as they did with the Romanians, who joined up with the Central Powers after a series of catastrophic defeats, yet at the end they received lots of Austrian lands, but decided not to do so.

  26. If you cant win a war then dont start it.

  27. Dont take it personally Britain controlled half the world yet they were beaten by the Germans in every single turn, although on paper Brits should have beat Germany down like a fly. Honestly they were as much a rotting empire as Russia was, and their class system is still toxic today, but it was outright intolerable back at the times, when complete morons led the military based on their societal status instead of their personal quality. They managed to get through but they lost Ireland in the process.

  30. The NatGeo one is from the documentary: Apocalypse the firs world war I guess. Its not a really great show, heavily political though, I dont like it in documentaries.

  31. Lol while Stalin was absolutely a horrible leader this 100 million starved BS is fabricated by the CIA, it is actually checkably untrue. Even the Ukie famine is to some extent overplayed, and wasnt entirely Stalin's fault, the 1930s see a major meteorological low in the world, in the US half of Oklahoma went totally dry in the dustbowl. I would advise to remain on the Gulag train, not that the tzar didnt have them, but Stalin had them too, and expanded them. Besides that Stalin was objectively a better leader than the tzar, because he won against the Germans while the tzar lost, he modernized Russia, while the tzar made it a backwards country, and both of them were tyrants who used political persecution against dissenters. @Bialy_1

  32. America wasnt terrible in the middle east or Vietnam, but those were colonial wars, not major wars. Colonial war in this case means, its really not that important for them to win, like Afghanistan for the Soviets. They screwed up a lot, but that didnt harm neither their military nor their hinterland.

  33. If they wouldnt be popular they wouldnt win the civil war. Lenin was a sole man not a magician, to turn 100 million people against the liberals. They made their mistake by following the tzar's policies. People didnt overthrow the tzar just to do the same sht under liberals. Lenin promised change, so he overthrew the liberals and made the changes.

  35. Ahemm, I would watch how 60.000 British stop 4 million Russians charging their positions as in these offensives they did. Dont overestimate Britain you won WWI because of the Americans, I wouldnt even tell, that you won WWII such abysmal Britsh performance was in that war, basically you lost every single major battle you fought alone with the Germans and japs, and were denoted to the auxiliary units of the American high command. Patton was constantly disgruntled because instead of fighting a war he always had to wait Montgomery to show up and capture a totally secured place as a publicity stunt. Wehn he got his shot in Operation Market Garden it was the usual level of blunder, what the Brits made in Dieppe and Tobruk. Yeah you won El Alamein, mainly because Americans landed at Tunis and cut the German supply lines. I think the objective greatest achievemnt of the British force in WWII besides the sinking of the French fleet was the conquest of Iceland @TedShatner10

  36. Yes Czechia was pretty industrialized. 20 years later the conquest of Czechoslovakia enabled Hitler the French campaign, some estimates giving it that every second german tank in France was made in the Skoda factory. @dirremoire

  37. So they would have 15 shells per day instead of 10? The thing what colonial armies never get, that in order to win these wars, quality is one thing quantity is everything. No matter how good guns the Russians would have in 2 years if they dont have the factories to produce ammo.

  38. Lol did you told the Americans how unkind of them to invade the Afghans in search of bin Laden after the WTC bombings? Well, in 1914 Americans were the Austrians, bin Laden was Gavrilo Princip, and the serbian secret service, and Afghanistan was Serbia. But if it satisfies you you French didnt join because of some alliances, you joined first because you lost Alsace to Prussia in the Franco Prussian war, which actually you started, and wanted a revenge for it, secondly because you always schemed against Austria going as far as allying yourselves with the Ottomans, when they invaded Europe, and enslaved fellow christians. There are no good guys in history my friend.

  39. I wouldnt say much more successful, if you manage to throw back a 200.000 force with 4 million 500 miles behind your own border, but we all have different measures of success.

  40. Half of it is true, other half of it is communists actually won the civil war against Kerensky, every single intervetionist troop which was sent by Britain, France, and the US, and they beat them on every single turn from Petersburg up to Mongolia. So commies absolutely and unquestionably were more popular than Kerensky and his cabinet, who only took over Petersburg. And a minor correction Lenin was sent to Moscow.

  41. Yeah international financiers are in love with communists. You know that Adolf Hitler, from whom these theories are coming was an unemployed painter, with a lot of BS in his head.

  42. Yeah, not that the tzar didnt have his own version of the Gulags.

  43. The only more useless military in the war than the British was the French, by numbers they should have finished WWI and WWII in a month. Does this satisfy you? They did better however than in WWII, when the Japs and the krauts handed their ases over to them, and its an actual historical fact that Britain didnt win a single major battle without the aid of the Americans. No not even El Alamein, they would have lost El Alamein, if the Americans dont land at Tunis. Every single engagement they made alone from the Narvik operation to the Dieppe adventure, up to Tobruk was a major military disaster. Some labor MPs directly called out Churcill about their social caste system plaguing their military, stating that field marshal Rommel with his family tree couldnt serve as a sergeant in the British military. Their tanks were highly inferior to the Germans, their whole army was trained for colonial adventures, supported by the navynot to engage with a near peer continetal type landforce. Even their Navy was decimated by an utterly inferior German submarine taskforce almost forcing them out of war with 10% of their offensive capabilities. The only thing what the Brits were good at as they usually do, was war propaganda. No offense Brits, but things as they are you lost your empire because you were weak and incompetent as hell.

  45. The thing what I never got about Canadians and Australians is that why did you march on the sides of those imbecile British. Seriously they never gave a crp about you, they sent in the ANZAC troops at Gallipoli in a criminal manner, they used you to manufacture their dated weapons designs, while their military was not just kindof a meh but a total meh. They stationed more troops in Singapore than in France and lost it to the Japs overnight. Ok I know Spitfire this Spitfire that, it wasnt that good of a plane, as soon as it flew over France it had as huge losses as the Germans had over Britain, even the allies had the P-51 Mustang which was absolutely superior in every respect, I would add that I personally think the BF-109 was a better plane, Germans could achieve a 100+ killcount with those, their tanks were laughable, their machineguns were more primitive than russian BB guns etcetc. Ok sticking with the Americans makes sense, they are strong and wealthy, you share a continent with them, maybe they had a questionable track record on some morality, but they nevertheless always treated their allies as equals, so its good to have them on your side, but the British?

  47. If the revolution would have gone just fine, then the bolsheviks wouldnt be able to hijack it. Kerensky was weak, he didnt understand, that people wont forgive him what they didnt forgive to the tzar, they didnt make a revolution so that this guy could continue the bad policies, he should have quit WWI as soon as possible as Lenin did, because thats what the people wanted not Kerensky or the liberals.

  48. Not likely. It was all about production. Russians could easily recuperate their losses, meanwhile Germans lost all of their equipment in Kursk, without the hope to ever replenish it. There was actually no way Germans could win against the Soviet Union. Hitler was right, even if Germans would manage to capture Moscow, they would be approx 1/3 of their way towards the Pacific, so it was pretty much a pointless symbolic target. Getting the oilfields of the Caucasus was the key because that would have cut the Russians from their food and oil, but it was simply too far for the Wehrmacht, by that time they reached it, their lines were that thin, that soviets could break it where they wanted to.  @Reinhard_Erlik

  49. Lol Lend lease contributed to 5% of the Russian GDP. No Germans were in Russian territory well after the battle of Kursk they were chased out in Operation Bagration. No Germany wouldnt destroy Russia even if there wasnt a Lend Lease simply because Russia is goddamn huge, and they didnt even conquered 20% of it, not even the important sectors where the raw materials were produced, and they managed to push their industry behind the Urals. @diomuda7903
