Saw this video in my feed, and seeing Lavader I instantly clicked on it to watch.
While watching I realized I literally didn't even know that Austro-Hungary invaded Serbia.
I just sat there thinking how they taught literally nothing at all about European history around WW1, which is among the only thing they did teach. They mention the assassination of Archduke FF over and over a million times as the starting point for WW1 but they don't even bother teaching the few steps of escalation from there to the war.
Its literally just
1. Some Serbian kills the archduke
2. ...
3. France and England are fighting the Germans.
There is little mention of any war with Austro-Hungary and literally no mention whatsoever of Ottoman Empire except that they were there.
The curriculum seems to be constructed intentionally empty so that you just associate it with WW2 view it through the same lens. They don't say it out loud because it's obviously false but all of us came away with the idea that the Germans are the big bad warmongers and that WW2 was just a replay of WW1.
