a lot of people including myself
have found the study of world war I to

程度の副詞

and i think the reason is is
the world was very different

leading up to World War I than it is today.

and to some degree
the modern world we live in was shaped

to a large degree by war one
and later world war two

and just to get a sense of what our modern world
looks like

and especially what modern Europe looks like,
this is a map of modern Europe.

But the interesting thing about this map is
instead of being the traditional map

that you normally see
where you just see the country boundaries

the state boundaries
this has a state boundaries right here

in these little gray lines
they show the where where

France and say Switzerland
or Germany or Italy begin

but overlayed on top of that
we see where the languages are spoken

so this is actually much more focused
on where the people speak French

and i think that you all noticed for the
most part throughout most of europe

today's boundaries or modern boundaries
closely closely match up

There a few areas where this isn't clear, there is more of a disconnect with

and actually that is leading to uh... some issues,

but for the most part in modern europe
the country boundaries and the linguistic

boundaries
of the national boundaries kind of match up.

If we go, if we rewind to the world entering into world war one,

We recognize, we recognize the United Kingdom
and well, Ireland has since been carved out,

but we recognize that as not being that
differently than it is today.

In fact if you take Germany
the German empire entering into World War I

or in the early nineteen hundred's around

between them and the Russian empire they essentially
they essentially  were

swallowing up a bunch of linguistic
groups

a bunch of linguistic groups right over
here that now have their own independent states.

The other thing that you might notice is
this huge, this huge state called Austria Hungary

often called
the Austro-Hungarian empire.

And people say Oh you know there's uh... you
know I'm familiar with

some of these nations that have the word Austria Hungary in them,

but i'm not, you know "what is the Austro Hungarian empire" and what's interesting about

it was really trying to cobble together all
of these folks that

spoke all different, all of different types of
ethnicities.

This is kind of a zoom in of the austro-hungarian empire leading

And the austro-hungarian empire is probably the most

important thing to understand if we're trying to get a sense

Because leading up to World War I in
1908, the austro-hungarian empire

and that's another confusing thing for
many of us but that's actually one country.

It's called Bosnia and  Herzegovina or I guess for the

austro-hungarian that was i guess one region that  they annexed

and what's interesting about that is
if you look at the linguistic map, you see

over here speaks a very similar, essentially
they are dialects of Serbian

They're all very linguistically an ethnically connected

so this whole region right over here this
whole region right over here is

and we will see is is that
this desire to to connect people with similar

ethnic or
linguistic roots was well huh linguistic

happened in world war or at least was the
sparked that fuel to

the people sometimes say
the powder keg of world war one

the other thing that was very different or
the other i

guess country or nation or empire that we
are not used to today

so if we go today we
see the could the country of turkey which

this is turkey this is turkey right over here
this is

but entering into world war one in
nineteen fourteen turkey was essentially part

so this right over here is what the
ottoman empire look like

this is this is right over here is roughly
modern-day

but the Ottoman empire consisted of
modern-day turkey

and much of the modern middle east so
much of a

specially much of the arab especially the
arab

this was really the dying state of the
ottoman empire did

At it's peak it controlled much of the muslim
world

a controlled
northern africa as well as all the stuff that

and even a little bit and even a little bit
of persia and

actually a good bit of the balkan southeast
europe and even grease

now i'm talking about going hundreds and hundreds
of

we don't have a world where people kind
of our

where states are defined by linguistic boundaries
or by ethnic
