At least by people who don't a large interest in history. Is ww1 starting to fade from people's minds, how long until it might be considered just another war or something people vaguely learn about.

It became that in most countries after ww2 there is just a revival right now because of 100 years celebrations

WW1's view is starting to be shat up by Anglos media who try to make people believe that Britain rather than France was the main allied power of the war (BF1, 2017 Wonder Woman, most American movies about WW1....etc)
That shitty pic you used won't help as well

Isn't it a bad sign that a game was needed to remind people of ww1

>how long until it might be considered just another war or something people vaguely learn about
soon IMO
it will happen in our lifetime
it will fade into relative obscurity as one of the major events everyone learns about but no one really knows about if you know what i mean
the narrative that it was pointless and inevitable and sort of naturally happened because empires r dum amirite xD will win over
it will become a two-sentence caricature in the same sense civil war or the revolutionary war are distilled into "it was about slaves" (not trying to be edgy here, i know the majority (all?) of the south seceded literally because of the institution of slavery, just that the war and the politics are far more complex) and "it was about freedom/taxes/representation"
so some twenty, forty years down the road we will have "empires itching for war culminated into a big war. everyone wanted it. no one was ready for it. it was bad. there was gas and machineguns. it spawned a lot of politics that would shape the 20th century"

also i might sound bitter but it is only understandable
>>

Battlefield 1 is a terrible interpretation of WW1

>>1991080
>but it is only understandable
i mean the above process (but it also applies to my bitterness haha)
>>
>>1991080
Honestly, that's happening even now.
In highschool, the extent to which we covered WWI was mostly limited to Canada's role (Vimy ridge, Canada's 100 days, etc) and the root cause for it was distilled down to "Everyone was allied with each other so they got forced into a global war over a regional conflict, old tactics were ill suited for new weaponry so we got trench warfare."

They'd have won if they had focused on Russia instead of invading left and right
France greatly overestimated Germany and wanted to avoid war at all cost
Had Germany not attacked them, it's almost certain France would have stayed out of it
>>
>>1991285
>Had Germany not attacked them, it's almost certain France would have stayed out of it
And endanger themselves with the danger that Germany might vanquish Russia, and come out of the war twice as strong, now looming aggressively France who had lost her sole ally Russia on the continent? Meh.

Nah, France cherished their alliance with Russia as pretty much the only thing that prevented them from being steamrolled by Germany (Germany having twice the population France had, and being more industrialized too) so France would've probably held true to their oath to Russia, and declared war on Germany had it attacked Russia.

Think about it: why would France prefer the idea of fighting Germany alone, rather than the one of fighting Germany alongside Russia?

>Germany lost because the Americans intervened
Shush, calm down little American.

France prefered the idea of not fighting Germany at all
Why would Germany even need to attack France after having beaten Russia?

It sure will help to make disgusting britbongs even more overrated than they already were at the expense of France and Russia

WW1 was covered abit at my school, instead we had 4 years of Hitler and the Holocaust
>>1991238
If America hadn't intervened and sold arms to anyone then UK definetly would have won but France would be more ruined.
Germany never could have won a siege war against the great empire
>>
>>1991698
>If America hadn't intervened and sold arms to anyone then UK definetly would have won but France would be more ruined.

If by more ruined you mean having a few hundreds thousands losses, sure
But French and Brits were already winning before Americans arrived
The war would've just been won in mid 1919 instead of late 1918
>>
>>1991671
Because Germans are paranoid and wanted conquest.
>>
>>1991711
No I just mean as in the occupied cities would be worse off and the country side would be more unstable and muddy.

All the Americans brought was morale and STD's
>>
>>1991060
That's more depressing, then something to be celebrated.
>>
>>1991698
America had terrible industry in ww1. Its intervention did not turn the tide of the war at all; it had a small moral impact on the french armies who had been foghtg an enemy twice as strong for 4 years, but not much else.

>the war against France bogs down to an endless stalemate and Russia, the big bad wolf that everyone thought was comig to blow the Kaiser's log cabin down, just crumbles like wet paper

What is this, the most historically damning case of overthinking things ever?
>>
>>1991285
>They'd have won if they had focused on Russia instead of invading left and right
Utter nonsense. Both France and Russia had offensive military planning. If they did NOT focus on the west France would have taken the Rhein-Ruhr area and cut out the industrial heart of Germany, making them lose pretty much instantly.

>France greatly overestimated Germany and wanted to avoid war at all cost
They were reasonable in their assessment because without British support Germany would have defeated both France and Russia. If anything, Germany overestimated France and Russia. The Schlieffen-Plan through Belgium would have been unnecessary because they could have beaten France and Russia conventionally.

>Had Germany not attacked them, it's almost certain France would have stayed out of it
Complete nonsense. Poincaré assured the Tsar of his absolute support and there is absolutely no evidence that France wouldn't have followed through with their offensive planning.
>>
>>1991399
This.

>>1991028
It happens to most things in history once they become older.

While WE WUZ KRAUTZ N SHIET might put it in the public's consiousness for a while, i doubt it will last much, specially in time as tense as these.

Schlieffen-Plan
Quick conquest of france, so all the focus could then be put on russia
>>
>>1993856
Yep
>>
>>1991076
A game isn't needed to remind people, it is capitalising on the centenary and increased interest around it, plus the best known US WWI films are arguably Paths of Glory, and All Quiet on the Western Front.
>>
>>1991028
its connection to ww2 will mean it will never be forgotten.
Even if both wars come to remembered by different names, ww1 will always be seen as one of the main causes of ww2

Really? It can't be the Kaiser or his cohorts? It must be the evil and vindictive German citizenry who are 99% genetically and culturally identical to the rest of Western Europe?
>>
>>1991671
Even if France didn't want to fight (and after begin humiliated in 1871 I'd say a sizeable part of the French population did want to fight) they were still allied with Russia.
>>
>>1991032
So underrated you may as well be in your own network.
>>
>>1994461
but they're not, you're talking out of your ass
>they're close, so they must be same!

>>1991671
Stupid. A good amount of french wanted revenge for Alsace-Lorraine. And letting a superpower, extremely hostile to you, with already twice your population take the totality of europe under its rule is not a bright idea.
