World War 1 Explained (2/4): The African perspective | DW English

the russian started the whole nonsense.

Racist Europeans

....and now the Chinese are moving in with a new model of colonialism ...we'll see whether they can do a better job?
[Although I expect Europe would do the best job if given another chance]

Where are other two parts?

Thanks next time don't ask why Africans or black in particular are in Europe..

Look at the way they split African land in two like they were entitled to it..smh

Lies they weren't forced to fight.. they join the former colonial countries as a form of loyalty, resilience and bravery.More like European perspective. Europeans keep lying about our history as if we don't know the actual facts.

World War One then known as the Great War, was a turning point in the history of mankind. What made it unique was every nation was involved in this global conflict. The advent of weapons the likes of which were never witnessed caused wanton destruction. The world in its aftermath would never be the same again.

Poor souls.

Why doesn't the title match what's going on in the video. I could be wrong but I don't think the narrator is African-American.

What Africa perspective??

NWO at it again

African leaders and their colonial/imperial masters now pillage Africa.

Amen France took my great grandfather in Ww1 god rest his soul fought for a country he never even been in🙏🏾🙏🏾

We continue to witness the silent injustice on the continent Africa on the everyday lives of Africans all over the world.

how is it the African version not told by an African

Thank god white people gave up their Superior strength for equality to create the equal world we live in today 🙏

If it's to be spoken from an African perspective, then outside of his supporting video clips, why is this English guy the only one speaking?

Southern Cameroons and LR du CAMEROUN never unified constitutionally
Reason why there's an ongoing GENOCIDE war since 2016

The fact my teacher was showing us this but I’m such a geek for history I just had to watch

We will not fight again

This is ridiculous the world war was fighting over Africa and then they took Africans by force and put them in the front line- ridiculous and senseless. The Africans had no gain in this war at all neither African Americans… God ain’t dead….

1914 1918

Father Yah please have mercy and take care of your true people.

Is a lie we don't server as porter, cook we do fight in the front line give respect where it is doe😂

Monarchies have culled their men for ages in foreign wars to preserve and expand their reign. Capitalists are aspiring monarchs. If history teaches us anything about our future, it’s that there will be more wars.

Its sad that Africa in WWI isnt talked about more. It is such an important part of the war and in history.

Europeans (westerners) start wars and want everyone else to choose side and get involved, like recently with Russia 🇷🇺 vs. NATO in Ukraine. We Africans will choose for ourselves for now on! 💪🏾🌍

It wasn't a world war but an European war imposed on Africa
