Who Really Started WW1? The Shocking Truth About July 1914
Sean McMeekin’s July 1914: Countdown to War shatters the myth that Germany alone caused World War I. This video dives into the hidden machinations of Russia, France, and Austria-Hungary, revealing a cascade of blunders, secret mobilizations, and diplomatic lies that turned a local crisis into a global catastrophe. From the premature Russian ‘preparatory period’ to France’s cynical 10-kilometer retreat, you’ll see how every major power fueled the fire. Discover why the ‘blank check’ backfired, how Britain got dragged in, and why historians got it wrong for a century. If you think you know history, think again.
