| Video Discription | The Great War in Numbers - Episode 2: Weapons of War | History Documentary Watch 'The Great War in Numbers - Episode 1' here: https://youtu.be/X9KTIo9dm2A By the beginning of 1915 the horrific killing power of machine guns and artillery had taught all sides that the only way to survive is to find shelter and dig in. Nowhere is this illustrated more dramatically than at the Battle of Neuve Chapelle in March 1915, where a handful of German soldiers with machine guns held off a British force of 9,000 men. Eventually 25,000 miles of trenches will cut across Europe, and in front of those trenches over three million miles of barbed wire, enough to circle the earth 120 times. In 1915 the British first attempted to break the stalemate by sheer weight of artillery. They will start the Battle of Neuve Chapelle with a stockpile of 216,000 shells. It will not be enough. By the end of the conflict over a billion shells will have been fired; 15 for every single man who fights in the war. With conventional weapons unable to provide a breakthrough, new technologies will take the war into the sky and under the sea. Aircraft will be used in warfare. Britain starts the war with just 193 planes, by the end British factories are producing over 30,000 new aircraft a year, and employing 347,000. In Germany Anthony Fokker will invent a mechanism allowing pilots to shoot through their propellers at the enemy. The first fighter aces, like Baron von Richthofen, will use it to devastating effect. The average life expectancy of British pilots in France will be just 11 days. Germany in turn will respond to the British naval blockade by unleashing their U-boats on allied shipping. But the sinking of the liner Lusitania with the loss of 1197 lives, 128 of them Americans, will come close to bringing the US into the war. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Subscribe Free Documentary - History Channel for free: https://bit.ly/2FjRPgV Facebook: https://bit.ly/2QfRxbG Twitter: https://bit.ly/2QlwRiI ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ #FreeDocumentary #Documentary #TheGreatWarInNumbers ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Free Documentary - History is dedicated to bringing high-class documentaries to you on YouTube for free.
