Yeah and the amount who actually surrendered in combat rather than had their nation defeated and ended up in custody as a result of the collapse. It is a long walk home for Austria Hungary, Germany, and Russia and when the government collapses and they have no way home custody is how you survive the war and get back to your family eventually.

The "sick old man of Europe". The empire collapsed and it wasn't really a surprise to anyone. This chart is more like who lost the war and had a ton of people stranded in foreign lands with no way to get home, than it is any measure of who surrendered in combat the most. Totally predictable considering the outcome and the way these soldiers were stuck far from home without food, ammo, and any other way to survive short of walking into captivity.

Unfortunately for the Austro-Hungarians, Cadorna was replaced after the disaster at Caporetto. So, the Italians were led by Armando Diaz, who used more effective tactics than just mass infantry charges with artillery on the same positions like Cadorna. Diaz was basically the opposite of Cadorna and is regarded by historians as one of the best WW1 generals.

@@Sun-Tzu- which is still a relatively puny number by any objective standard. In any event, the Americans were one of the only true winners of WWI considering that they walked away from the conflict wealthier, more influential and more powerful than they actually were all while barely suffering any casualties. This is in direct contrast to the rest of the Triple Entente, who were left completely bankrupt, entirely destitute, hopelessly impoverished and severely depopulated by war's end. With virtually nothing to show for it outside of a few pitiful scraps of worthless territory and the right to say "we won" even though they actually lost almost as badly as the defeated Central Powers. Perhaps if the nations of Europe hadn't been such gigantic dumbasses and, I don't know, actually attempted serious diplomacy with the intention of actually ending the war on fair/equitable terms for both sides instead of very stupidly dragging the war out in a vain attempt to achieve an obviously impossible total victory, then they wouldn't have suffered so horribly and needlessly.

Nice video, that would be much more representative if the number of total troops and the time in the war were to be taken into account. Basically something like a surrender rate. Because without it, the myth of the heroic American stands tall! Take in to account these factors, and create something like a surrender rate of soldiers, and the picture is completely different!
@xenotypos Жыл бұрын
Not really, the picture would still be incomplete as some soldiers fought for years, others for weeks. The US would be advantaged as they only fought toward the very end, when the allies finally had a big advantage. So they were only participating in large numbers when Germany was retreating. The US army in total in WW1 was rather large (not as much as the top nations, but still millions), the defining factor is just WHEN they fought and how long.

Remember that US was reason that Entente won this war in 1918. Enter of US forced Germany to make quick offensive (Kaiserschlacht) before few millions of American soldiers will arrive to the continent. The offensive was absolute failure and Entente launched counterattack together with fresh American soldiers, which resulted in collapse of German front, worker strikes and riots in Germany, finally communist revolution and abdication of Emperor Wilhelm II. Entente would won this war even without US, as German industry was already in very bad condition, but Americans entering the war just made it impossible for Germans to win in any way.
