History Teacher Explains Ad Infinitum (The Horror of World War 1)

World War 1 was one of the most horrifying periods of modern history. In this video I explain the historical context behind the events of Ad Infinitum, including trench warfare, poison gas, military hospitals, and more. To aid the discussion I use the following memoirs: "Undertones of War" by Edmund Blunden, "Fear" by Gabriel Chevallier, and "Storm of Steel" by Ernst Junger. I highly recommend you read these memoirs for yourself! Subscribe to the channel if you enjoyed this video, now go do something fun and uplifting! Sources: 1.
