and today we’re gonna talk about World War I.

World War I wasn’t the most destructive war, or the first total war,

are kind of dominant lenses for describing our world today.

I’d argue that World War I helped make possible everything from The Simpsons

to intentionally unattractive mustaches. [some may disagree w/ your premise there]

are you referring to me? [Whoah. Any way to unsee this?]

Most people think of World War I as a tragedy

because it didn’t need to happen and didn’t really accomplish much,

except for creating social and economic conditions

inevitably, we’re also assigning blame.

The immediate cause was of course the assassination in Sarajevo

by a Bosnian Serb nationalist named Gavrilo Princip.

It’s worth noting that the first big war of the 20th century

So Franz Ferdinand wasn’t particularly well-liked by his uncle,

the assassination led Austria to issue an ultimatum to Serbia,

whereupon Serbia accepted some but not all of Austria’s demands,

leading Austria to declare war against Serbia.

due to its alliance with the Serbs, then mobilized its army;

Germany, because it had an alliance with Austria,

[Survivor has ruined the word "alliance"]

told Russia to stop mobilizing, which Russia failed to do,

because, you know, France. [how 'Merican of you, John]

Germany’s War plan, the Schillefen Plan,

required that it invade France in the most expedient way possible,

And Great Britain was a friend of Belgium,

I mean as much as anyone can be a friend of Belgium, [snap]

so by August 4th, all the major powers of Europe are at war with each other.

honoring its alliance with Britain, would be at war with Germany and Austria, too.

Counting colonies and spheres of influence,

the world map would eventually look like this.

So there were many opportunities NOT to mobilize and declare war,

which is what Woodrow Wilson tried to fix with the League of Nations.

Some blame Russia, the first big country to mobilize.

Some blame Germany for the inflexibility of the Schlieffen plan.

Leninists claim war grew out of imperialism

Germany’s radical modernism and Britain’s traditional conservatism.

I’d go with the alliance system and the cultural belief that war was,

War helped define who was them and who was us,

and doing that strengthened the idea of us.

war was perceived to be necessary and often even glorious.

The trench warfare on the Western Front is most famous for its brutal futility—

and there’s a lot of metaphorical resonance

in living men digging holes where they would in time die.

The lines of trenches on the western front

covered only about 400 miles as the crow flies,
