When your officer gives you orders in German but you’re Italian so you ask your NCO but he only speaks Hungarian and your only squad mate speaks only Romanian and most of the regiment deserted already because their Czech and the Polish is drunk talking about socialism and you hear Italian screams from the mountains. “Guess I’ll die then.”

“I’ve invented this thing called an armored tank, it has weapons, is impenetrable to infantry, and no other country in the world has anything like this, you will dominate the battlefield” Austro-Hungarian war dept: “We’ll take it! But you’re paying for it right????”

"Undeterred by this sudden display of reason . . ." - WW1 in a nutshell

Germany is that one teammate in your group project who actually does all the work

My great grandpa was a Czech shoemaker and was conscripted into the Austro Hungarian military. He fought at Caporetto, was wounded by shrapnel and cared for by nuns. Ended up surviving the whole battle.

My Great-Grandfather fought on the Italian front for Austria-Hungary in the war and since they were winning most of the battles, aswell as not being informed what was actually going on, he returned home thinking they had won the war

As a Slovenian, my great grandpa was sent to South Tyrol where his feet were crushed by rocks but thankfully he made it back and created a family

Someone in Hungary said: "We won't be anything further by achieving victory, but we can lose everything by defeat." That's what happened.

Germany: Don’t go attack here Austria-Hungary: How ‘bout I do, anyway.

Fun fact (actually very sad) : The last words of Archduke Franz Ferdinand were something along the lines of: " It's nothing, it's nothing". He was telling that to his wife, to calm her down.

My great grandfather was a doctor from Slovenia who worked as a medic during the battle of cappereto. He was one of the only medics in the whole battle and ended up breaking down and crying because of all the people begging for help that he wasn’t able to save. I can’t imagine the stress he was under, not only did he have run into the line of fire in to save people he didn’t know and knowing he couldn’t save all of them, not only did he have to choose who lived and who died, but he also knew that some of the men on the other side of no mans land had been his friends in school, who had moved to Italy to get away from Austria Hungary. He spoke many languages so he was often looked to assist with communication.

Random assassins: kills the heir to the Austrian Hungarian throne* The future: the heir was gonna help you now you have chosen 8 million deaths.

France and Britain in WW1: Yeah serbia, we'll protect you. procedes to not protect Serbia France and Britain in WW2: Yeah poland, we'll protect you. procedes to not protect Poland

"We learn from history that we do not learn from history" - Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

My great grandpa fought for Austro-Hungary, his name was Vendel Sári. He was severely wounded in one battle, but somehow survived leaving in his body lots of bullets marks, after recovering he past the rest of the war in back line services. He always told that in the end of the war he walked far distances seeing dead bodies everywhere, almost had no space to step on the ground. After the war his life was equally hard, he had to move for a new land. May God have him in a good place.

7:47 Apparently Belgrade just walked a few kilometers north into Hungarian territory. Fascinating

I'm still shaking my head at how idiotic the Austo-Hungarian high command would be to reject such an advanced tank.

When you’re playing on multiplayer and it’s not you that’s pulling all the weight during a game.

“Britain and France declared war on Germany after German troops entered Belgium.” No that’s not what happened, Germany declared war on Russia for refusing to end mobilization and France then began mobilization, and Germany sent an ultimatum that said “stop mobilization or war” and France continued mobilization and Germany declared war on France, then according to the Schlieffen plan, Germany invaded Luxembourg and sent an ultimatum which said “let me move my troops through you or I’ll invade you”, Belgium refused and Germany invaded Belgium and then Britain declared war on Germany.
