The video picks up where our the Long 19th Century left off, with the prelude and buildup to the war, and the assassination of Franz Ferdinand. King George V and the British Parliament, Raymond Poincaré of France, Nicholas II of Russia, Woodrow Wilson of the United States, and their Italian and Japanese allies face the Central Powers of Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany, Franz Joseph of Austria-Hungary, Enver Pasha and the Ottomans, and Bulgaria, in the Great War: the war to end all wars.

We go through the conflict itself, and the different theatres, from the Western and Eastern Fronts (Marne, Somme, Verdun, Tannenburg), to the Balkans, all the way to the Middle East, Africa, and East Asia, touching on many campaigns like the Gallipoli campaign, Mesopotamian campaign, Sinai and Palestine campaign, and the different offensives like the Brusilov offensive in the East, and German Spring offensive in the West. We also go over some of the newer war technology of the time, like tanks, submarines, and fighter planes.

The Russian Revolution and the lesser known German Revolution are also covered, as well as the Russian Civil War, before we head into the social and political aftermath of the Great Powers after the end of the war, along with the new culture and art styles that flourished during the 1920s, like Art Deco and Dada.

The Late Modern Series:
   • Phase 4: The Late Modern Period (1800...  

Welcome to Late Modern series of the World History Summarized project! The entire project is meant to summarize broad topics in history and balances political history and events, with social/daily life, and culture. If you've watched our History of the World documentary, the project is a perfect next step. The videos are standalone, but presented in a chronological fashion. This series "the Late Modern" takes place after our megadocumentaries "The Ancient World", "The Medieval World", and the "Early Modern". It will be divided into 6 or 7 videos about the Late Modern period (c. 1800 - 1945) all over the world, and will be called Phase 4. Once these videos are completed, we will move onto Phase 5, the FINAL PHASE of the project, but this series will be considered completed, and compiled into ONE MEGA-DOCUMENTARY containing all 6 or 7 parts.
