Road to Unity Part 4 | The Guns of August: How Germany Went to War in 1914 | Ancient to Recent | Episode 8

In this epic episode of Ancient to Recent, we unpack the tragic and complex chain of events that dragged Germany and the world into the First World War. From the assassination of Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo to the infamous "blank cheque" to Austria, we explore how imperial ambition, strategic paranoia, and domestic turmoil pushed Germany into a devastating global conflict.


We examine Germany’s war plans, the myth of the “defensive war,” the Schlieffen Plan’s failure, and the haunting cost of four years of trench warfare. Discover how WWI shattered the Second German Reich, transformed German society, and sowed the seeds of future catastrophe.
