The Great War Series

[Crandar]

The Great War is the First World War (1914-1918).

It also is an excellent Youtube channel which commemorates the one hundred years anniversary, by regularly uploading historical videos about happened that particular week, 100 years ago.
They also have a weekly special episode concerning a particular historical figure or some background facts about the Great War.

Personally, I consider his work as an almost impeccable example of how historical documentaries should be created and an entire thread dedicated to a Youtube channel might seem a bit excessive, but, in my opinion, they rightfully deserve our respect, for their historical research, organisation and fascinating presentation.

It truly is an amazing series, they even posted one of my photos on their facebook page from my trip to Ypres after I sent it to them.

Welp, there goes my free time for the next few weeks.

New week, new episodes, old rascals!

Thursday's video is mainly preocuppied with the german conquest of the lithuanian capital and the controversial intentions of Herr Lundedorff, who might have preceded his later years' idol:

Meanhwile, the special episode concerned the naval warfare of the Great War. Rather informative, but I hope that this was not the end, as I think that every major nation's navy deserves its own video.

Hmm, I do notice a certain lack of interest, but this week's episodes were somewhat special, as my homeland, Eastern Rumelia has been mentioned for the first time.

In the special episode, a brief summary of the Bulgarian policy is given. Very accurate, indeed, but he omitted to say that one of the Allies' offers was the incorporation of Eastern Macedonia (the Prefecture of Drama and her surrounding townlets) to Bulgaria, as the Greek prime-minister Eleutherius (his name means freedom) Venizelus had agreed to that.
It was a horrible act of betrayal, on behalf of the political leader, who ironically enough is considered as a great leader by most Greeks, pretty much because he prevailed over the King, Constantine I.

The Ottoman Imperial Elementary School of Doxato (a village near Drama), after the atrocities commited by the retreating Bulgarian Army:

The 8th of October's episode concerns the background of the incoming siege of Kut and the successful offensive against Serbia. The dispute between the King and the Prime-minister of Greece is also mentioned. It is going to end rather badly, with the creation of two statelets, that of Selanik, after a coup d'etat by Eleutherius Venizelus. and the official government of Athenes.
After an unsuccessful attack by the French Fleet in November 1916, the King will be forced to resign, under the pressure of the French cruisers, in favour of his second son, Alexander, as his firstborn, George, refused to accept the throne.
Still, they both became Kings of Greece a bit later.

The arch-bishop of Athenes anathematizes the prime-minister.
