A firm alliance with Austria is clealy our best diplomatic move. Surely they won't go charging off a cliff at a bunch of Balkan terrorists while we are chained to them.

Just spark a war among the great powers, and we will have a glorious South Slavic empire for.......almost 70 years, minus two crushing occupations and a civil war or two.

Princip did nothing wrong, it was Austria and Germany themselves that started this whole thing.

Would have worked if they followed Churchill's plans properly and kept the element of suprise. Just like with the fucking gas. Just like with the fucking tanks.

Is there a reason that autists forget the fact that Germany wasn't the only central power fighting a two front war?

Black Hand was just a militaristic offshoot of the Illyrian movement and had not a clue about WW breaking out.

They did much more harm to Serbia by extingushing Obrenovic dynasty.

>Defending along an over-extended front, the Serbian Supreme Command decided to abandon Belgrade. The city was evacuated on 29/30 November. The Austro-Hungarians entered the city on 1 December, prompting yet more celebrations in Vienna.[32] The Serbian people withdrew alongside their army and many retreated to Niš, where news of Belgrade's fall was greeted "impassively", as it had been "expected since the beginning of the war". Albin Kutschbach, a German agent in Niš, reported: "More refugees are arriving by the day, and despite many people being sent on south, there are certainly still 60,000 people here." Germany responded to the capture of Belgrade with delight and sent a congratulatory telegram to the Austro-Hungarian leadership. The Austro-Hungarians ascertained that their war with Serbia would soon be over and began preparing for the country's occupation.[27] On 2 December, the anniversary of Franz Joseph's 66th year on the throne, Potiorek wrote that he was "laying town and fortress Belgrade at His Majesty's feet".[33]

>Determined to play his part, the aging Serbian king, Peter I, took a rifle and accompanied his troops to the front.[34] The Serbian offensive caught the Austro-Hungarians by surprise, and at the time that the attack was launched they were holding a large military parade through the streets of Belgrade.[27] The Austro-Hungarians now found themselves defending along an over-extended front as Potiorek had just begun strengthening his left flank, leaving the front line very lightly held.

>One Austro-Hungarian soldier wrote: "We could not have imagined that the Serbs were on our heels, after all we had recently been victorious."[38] On 10 December, the Serbian Army captured the lower reaches of the Drina, forcing the majority of surviving Austro-Hungarian troops to flee across the river.[35]

This is WWI period, keep up with the program.

Speaking of which.
>Guys, guys, guys, check this out: I'm not president of China anymore. We empire again lol.

You look an awful lot like Peter O'Toole.

>Leave Serbia to me.

>[later]

>OH GOD THEY'VE GOT RIFLES
>HELP ME BULGARIA

I still think the German Empire was the greatest nation of its time.

Actually, the Armenian Genocide didn't actually have much to do with Sarakamis. It was really more of a casus belli to kick Armenians out of Turkish borders so that they wouldn't have to partition away half of Anatolia after the war's end.

underrated

We'll *cough* join the war *cough cough cough* ehhhhh mañana.

>Please don't come in, I'd really appreciate it if you didn't.

All the victorious powers are sitting down to work out a just peace for the world. America is our champion for the self-determination of all peoples. Surely they'll liberate us from French colonialism.

WTF do you think I'm doing?
You ordered mobilization first. You crossed my border before I crossed yours.

His mistake wasn't thinking the British could be friends with Arabs but thinking that the political and military leaders who barely talked to anyone who wasn't British would take someone who actually knew the native population seriously.

What the fuck is that guys problem?

We'll take back the mainland next year.

>Is there a reason that autists forget the fact that Germany wasn't the only central power fighting a two front war?
The Italian front was an absolute joke under Cadorna. The reason everyone remembers Germany fighting a two front war is because they're the only ones that didn't fuck up beyond all reason.

WTF guys, you said you'd relieve my position. Why did you stop attacking?

>W-WHAT THE---

I went straight to Krupp steel (more like KRAP steel) and told him and his HUN friends to fuck offand promptly signed a deal with the French. Oh, willy will pay for this. I made sure his 'ally' the archduke couldn't get to dinner on the train ride too. Fuck germans, Romania is the true roman anyway.

This. If they stuck to his plan, then it might have been the 'German Century'.

bastard kike puppet

What's a good source for leaving the basics of WW1 for somebody who really knows nothing about it except that it was utterly miserable to fight in?

Martin Gilbert's "The First World War" is the seminal overview. But it's just that, an overview. Was there anything. specific you wanted to know about?

Oh and btw there's a Youtube series called "The Great War" that mostly uses Gilbert, Hart, and a few other guys and covers the war week by week. Good for listening to while driving or exercising.

I mostly just want to know who was fighting who and why. I know that Germany and Britain were fighting as always, and France was on Britain's side, and there was a revolution in Russia that took them out of the war (pretty sure that they were supposed to be with France) and resulted in them becoming the USSR. America didn't enter the war until like the very last year. So who was even on Germany's side in this?

kekekekek
fucking moron.

>entire strategy depends on overwhelming strength of right wing.

>Right flank Overwhelming strategy is so critical that you invade independent Belgium just for better positioning

>Thus drawing Britain into the war, who will inevitably also draw US into the war.

>Still abandons the right flank plan

Franz Ferdinand was not Franz Josef's son.

...

>Surely the patriotism and heroic service I offer to my country will never be forgotten

>Surely no one will call me a traitor a few years later just because I step forward to shepherd and safeguard my homeland in its most difficult hour of defeat and weakness, when the government collapses and flees

>What? What?

this was funny at first, but it was sadder than it was funny.

No death in WW1 can be funny.

>WW2 over, Vietnamese free from Japan want independence and US inclined to say sure
>France REEEEEs so hard you have to let them have Vietnam again to keep their autism in line
>they fuck up badly enough you get saddled with their mistake anyway
The eternal Frank never dies

Maybe you already know this, but the Ho Chi Minh post was in keeping with the WWI theme. He went to Versailles in 1920 to plead for Vietnamese independence.

stop

>Spain
>Any reason at all to join
Besides, we would have been even worse than Italy.

>WE NEED MORE BATTLESHIPS THAN BRITAIN
>sir we can't build as many battleships as Britain
>WE NEED MORE SUBMARINES THAN EVERYONE

>Whelp, the Germans want to surrender, time to make peace terms.
>Should I take the prewar allied treaties into account?
>Nah, I'll just base it all on Muh Feels, I'm sure that congress and the rest of the allies will take it well, especially Italy

The BBC documentary "The Great War" is absolutely incredible, though there's a bit of an Anglo bias.

Is there any pictures of Willys hand not covered up?

>my son
>own king for not being jingoistic enough
LMAO
Aleksandar Obrenovic was universally hated, you're talking about a manchild. You're talking about r9k running a country. He brought down 11 governments during his 14 year rule, and organized 3 coups, first when he was 15, he proclaimed himself of age holding his regency at gunpoint. Later he suspended the constitution twice and made two new ones to increase his power. He tried to DEPORT his MOM when daddy came to visit, only to be thwarted by university students who intercepted the car with his mom in a bag.
He married his mom's handmaiden who was 13 years his senior, as well as a divorcé. She faked a pregnancy, and he wanted to make his little bro his heir because she couldn't have kids. The people were livid when they found out about the fake pregnancy. She also had the secret passage out of their room turned into a closet, which ultimately sealed their fate.

"Hey, you guys wanna check out my Sonic fanfiction?"

Kek the filename.
I know i bashed him, but it's all true, except the closet, that one's unconfirmed.
I kind of feel sorry for him, he never should have been a ruler, and his dad probably fucked him up in the head. Still doesn't excuse him.

>Willy, I've been a monarchist all my life but we fucked this war up. There's not way we can win and you have to abdicate or else there will be a revolution
*A few moments later*
>I never asked for the Kaiser to abdicate, it's all Groener's fault
