Decent overview but flawed presentation and biased
This video is simply a broad overview of the "War to End all Wars" i.e. World War 1.
One must be aware that this series does not make any attempt to be objective the obvious slant towards the Triple Entente Powers is glaring and unneeded.
Also the Triple Alliance i.e. Central powers are not even fully mentioned as this series omits Italy from the Central Powers listing.
It is important for any new student of history to understand that the Triple Entente Powers (UK, France, & Russia) concluded an additional secret agreement with Italy, effectively nullifying their membership in the Triple Alliance (Austria-Hungary, Germany, & Italy) in exchange for the right to steal lands from Austria.
Good Introduction to WWI
I used this in my classroom to introduce WWI and the students were both informed and entertained. The length was appropriate for a single class, followed by a short discussion of what was seen.
