In 1914, the world believed it was too economically connected to fall apart. Global trade was booming, stock markets were strong, and Europe’s great powers were tied together by debt, alliances, and financial dependence. War, many believed, was irrational and therefore impossible. They were wrong.

This video explains World War I not as a story of battles and dates, but as a systemic failure of globalization, incentives, and economic logic. Using a finance and economics lens, we explore how debt, alliance commitments, industrial capacity, and financial markets turned a regional assassination into a global economic collapse.

You’ll see how mobilization became a mathematical trap, why trench warfare was an industrial inevitability, how war spending reshaped global finance, and why the United States entered the conflict as a creditor protecting its balance sheet. We also examine how shortages, blockades, and inflation destroyed empires from the inside.

World War I wasn’t just a military disaster. It was a financial one that rewired the global economy and set the stage for the 20th century’s biggest crises. Understanding it helps explain why modern globalization remains far more fragile than we like to believe.
