Hi Im Indy Neidell And This Is

another exciting episode of Out of the trenches where I sit here in the chair of wisdom and I answer your questions about the first World War. Michael William Hamilton, the second or junior from Patreon writes Greetings from St. Louis Indy greetings from Berlin Michael Jr. . great work you’re doing here.

My Question Is Rather Complex, But How

did commanders keep their men a willing to fight most likely die and be from not dropping their weapons or turning on their rather questionable command staff and officers personally. I think I’d find myself more in common with the soldiers on the other side of no-man’s land than these blind fools who keep ordering me around Mike okay Mike well. What what you need to understand is that these soldiers huge majority of these soldiers believed they were fighting for a righteous cause. defense of the motherland or fatherland or fighting for freedom and dying for that was most often acceptable for a soldier at that time. It was mostly only later in the war when victory was not realistically achievable anymore that you would see mutiny.

So Of Course There Was One As

early as 1915 in Singapore. The thing is desertion was treason and betrayal of your own country. The worst possible crime of course fraternization with the enemy and mutinies did happen even small-scale mutinies and complaints, but the military command made sure that these were not common now. One belief among the leaders was that the longer the soldier had to think and reflect the more free time he had the more likely he would question it all so you kept him constantly occupied. They also kept morale up by making sure they got food and mail from home.

Like That For France And Germany,

the troops were fighting against the arch enemy. I mean that was a big deal, so desertion was not really an option there. I mean France was fighting on its own invaded territory. Britain had some problems with morale, but Britain also had a really good propaganda machine like scary good I’m going to leave that here because we do cover things about morale. In the regular episodes Benjamin Doty says, Can you please explain why Franz Ferdinand was probably the worst man in Europe.

• soldiers believed fighting righteous
• complex did commanders men
• acceptable soldier time later war
• need understand soldiers huge majority
• did commanders men willing

If Not The World I Cant

say I know all that much about him, but it was surprising anyway. It seems to me. Conrad von Hotzendorf could definitely contend for that title as for Ferdinand didn’t he want to give Slavs more rights within the Empire in a kind of tripartite Kingdom yes and as mentioned in the video. Countered Hotzendorf to calm down tensions between Austria,-hungary and Serbia Long question so how was he so bad exactly when people say he was a terrible person. It doesn’t really have to do with his politics he was as you know as you say the counterweight to Conrad von Hotzendorf, who wanted war War war in 1913 and early 1914, but Franz Ferdinand was different privately and it depends what you mean by terrible.

• commanders
• soldiers
• soldier
• regiments
• troops

He Thought He Believed Many Of The

races of the Austro–hungarian Empire. Those people’s many were subhuman. He did tested the Slavs, but many other people actually thought things like that back then unfortunately, but in terms of just killing He killed hundreds of thousands of animals hunting really like like 300 thousand animals. So if you consider the life of an animal to equal a human life, then he was one of the greatest monsters. Once read and I think it was in the Book of Lists, though I may be wrong about that that his ideas of hunting included having animals driven before him while he mowed them down with a machine gun.

I Dont Know If Thats True But

in terms of treating people he was most likely par for the course for his time country and title though I’m Dre Joshua wait let me try this name Andre Joshua, Mohini Bahian Andre Joshua Andre Joshua, Mohini Bahian writes hi indie three exclamation marks hi indie This channel is so awesome thank you. Your names are too I hope for the best for you and the rest of the crew question me and my grandmother we’d like to know what participation did the Philippines have as an American colony during the war okay well. The Philippines were dragged into the war in 1917. When the U. s.

Entered It Because They Were An American

colony. At the time they had been American colony since the Spanish-american War in 1898 um. They bought Liberty Bonds. They volunteered for theNK] Army and the Red Cross and when when CongressNK] Congress federalized the Philippine militia and asked for 15,000 volunteers. They got around 25,000 but those men did not see action.

A Bunch Of German Merchant Ships In The

Philippines were confiscated and supposed enemy aliens were put under surveillance. Tomas Claudio was the first Filipino casualty in the war actually he died in France in June 1918. Several thousand Filipinos were drafted to serve in Hawaiian Infantry regiments I know that because these were drawn from contract workers who resided in HawaIi. The Philippines also contributed agricultural and mineral resources to the Allied war effort. Edward camp writes and one more really random question.

Question But I Saw A Houston Chronicle Thats
