World War 1, but it's a Group Chat

Why did one assassination drag the whole world into war? 37 days from Sarajevo to a continent at war, a plan that failed, 700 km of trenches, a football match in no man's land… and a peace that didn't last. World War 1 (1914–1919) if every country was in the same group chat: "I'm NEUTRAL!!" — "just passing through 🚶". Real dates, real borders, cartoon violence only. In memory of everyone who lived through it. 0:00 One shot in Sarajevo: the question 0:43 Sarajevo & the alliance dominoes 1:35 Belgium: "I'm neutral!" 2:21 The Marne & the trenches 2:55 Christmas 1914 3:20 1915: Gallipoli, the Lusitania, Italy switches sides 4:23 1916: Verdun, Jutland & the Somme 5:10 1917: the USA joins, Russia leaves 6:11 1918: the last year 6:55 After the war: new borders & Versailles 8:13 Next question 🗺️ Historical borders: historical-basemaps by A.
