00:05Great War I
00:06And Let me tell you
00:07It's a version that might just challenge
00:09everything you thought you knew
00:11about the Great War
00:12Think about it
00:13What if that whole story
00:15you learned in school
00:16you know
00:16trenches
00:16clashing empires
00:18that one assassination in Sarajevo
00:20what if that's only scratching the surface
00:22What if there's a completely different story
00:24a hidden one
00:25that totally flips the script
00:27on how our modern world was built
00:29So
00:30For this explainer
00:31we're going to look at the perspective
00:32from just one source
00:34a channel deepati rolled al bash morecally a retin time a version of world war one that's
00:39well it's pretty controversial you're definitely not going to find this one in your standard history textbook
00:45okay so first up beyond the assassination we're going to start without one event everyone knows
00:51but according to this source the real reasons for the war oh they go way deeper and are a lot
00:57more
00:57من فقط يقوم بقى لأنه فقط واحدة.
01:00بالحب، نحن الناس يعرف جدًا سواء مقابلات.
01:03حتى جنوان 28 عام، كثيرًا سواء سواء جدًا،
01:05سواء سربيان العديد من مقابلات بعضهم،
01:08جدًا سواء جهاز فرد النظام،
01:10وقم، وحتى مقابلات هذه اللعنسة كن
01:13ويقوم بسرطة أن تدربتها.
01:15فبهما يسرح بحثث عن بحثث عن هذا الرسال.
01:18إن تقام بحثث عن السرالي
01:20وهو سواء فقط إذن أسرح،
01:26أسرح،
01:2750 years so according to this view the real countdown to war starts way back in 1871 germany
01:34unifies and suddenly there's this new beast on the european scene right and that seriously
01:40threatens the dominance of britain and france this leads to the triple alliance in 1882 with
01:44germany austria-hungary and italy then in a huge move britain and france enemies for a thousand
01:50years they team up in 1904 to counter germany and all the while this source claims britain
01:56was stirring up proxy wars in the balkans to weaken the ottoman empire which it calls the wounded
02:01knight basically setting all the pieces on the board for the big show all right part two the war
02:07against the caliphate now this is where we get to the absolute core of this source's argument because
02:14in this version of history the fighting in the middle east that wasn't some sideshow nope it was
02:19the main event so what we have here are two totally different wars happening at the same time on the
02:26one hand you've got the western front that's the one we always hear about a brutal bloody
02:31stalemate over territory and power but on the other hand there's the eastern front and this source
02:37frames that conflict well it frames it as a war driven by hatred for islam and its people it's
02:43presented as a kind of modern crusade with a secret goal to completely destroy the state of islam and
02:49dismantle the caliphate and to back this up the source points to one number five hundred thousand
02:56that's the staggering number of allied casualties at the battle of gallipoli for this source that
03:01isn't just a number it's proof of just how powerful the ottoman empire really was and here's a direct
03:07quote from the source at gallipoli the ottomans annihilated half a million of the allies while the
03:13russian front completely collapsed victory seemed imminent for the central powers i mean it sounds like
03:18they were on the brink of winning right the ottomans were holding strong russia was falling apart
03:23so what happened how did it all turn around well that brings us to section three a victory lost by
03:30betrayal and this is probably the most explosive claim in this whole narrative the argument is that
03:36this victory which seems so close wasn't lost in the trenches it was stolen stolen by treachery
03:44so according to the al-bash moirik channel the whole thing fell apart because of two major
03:49betrayals first there was the arab revolt sharif hussein of mecca teamed up with the british and this
03:55is described as a stab in the back of the ottoman caliphate all to create a kingdom for his family
04:00but the second betrayal is presented as the real knockout blow it's an allegation that on the german
04:05home front jewish financiers and media owners orchestrated a total collapse of the war effort from the
04:10and the source connects these dots by claiming this supposed internal collapse in germany was all
04:18part of a deal in exchange for a promise from the british a national home in palestine now to support
04:25this claim the source quotes adolf hitler himself saying we were not defeated on the battlefield but
04:31by betrayal the brave german soldier dies before the cowardly french soldier only because the latter has
04:36ammunition while we have nothing and you know this very idea this stab in the back theory became
04:42a cornerstone of nazi ideology okay on to our final section the legacy of a stolen war so if the
04:49victory
04:49was stolen what happened next well from this perspective what followed wasn't about making
04:54peace it was about methodically carrying out the allies real goals for the war the source lays it out as
05:01a clear chain of events first the treaty of versailles which it says was designed specifically
05:05to humiliate and bankrupt germany taking away its military and hitting it with impossible debt
05:11second the ottoman empire is completely dismantled the caliphate is abolished and its lands are just
05:16divided up by the colonial powers this was all done through the secret sykes-pico agreement where
05:20britain and france carved up the middle east for themselves and finally number four the british
05:25supposedly made good on their promise facilitating the creation of what the source calls the
05:29occupying entity in palace and let's not forget the unbelievable human cost i mean the numbers are
05:35just staggering millions and millions of lives lost according to the figures presented by the source
05:41russia lost about 1.8 million people germany 1.7 million britain and france combined lost about 1.5 million
05:50and the ottoman empire half a million and this is a really crucial point in the narrative the source
05:57argues that the humiliation baked into the treaty of versailles didn't actually end a war instead
06:03it created the perfect conditions and the perfect man adolf hitler to start the next one it wasn't
06:10about peace it was about planting the seeds for another conflict so the source leaves us with this big
06:16what if what if the central powers had won well in their alternate history you'd have two massive super
06:23empires the ottoman empire ruling from the atlantic all the way to the gulf and germany in control of
06:28all of europe a completely different world than the one we have today and all of this really leaves us
06:34with a big question doesn't it when we dive into alternative histories like the one we've just
06:39explored here it really makes you think how do these different stories we tell about the past whether
06:44they're the ones in the textbooks or the ones on the fringes how do they actually shape our world right
06:49now how do they define who we see as friends who we see as enemies and our whole understanding of
06:54the
06:54our querida friend
06:55our querida friend
