Austro-Hungaria was preparing a war against Serbia for years. It just needed an excuse. The killing of Franz Ferdinand by Gavrilo Princip was that excuse.

All Serbs are proud on WWI and our heroic ancestors. They brutally shed blood to preserve the existence of our nation and state.





Serbs in WWI fighting for the king and fatherland lost 60% of male population but at the end they won a lot more powerful Austro-Hungarian and German occupying forces!Serbia in WWI lost 30% of the population. 1.25 million from a total of 4.6 million. It is a precedent in the history of warfare. Serbia is among the few if not the only country in history not to have accepted an ultimatum.
On average (considering the population) Serbs sacrificed more than any other nation of the world in defeating the Central Powers in World War I,from which it never recovered.
Major Gavrilovic will be remembered for his speech he gave to his soldiers - defenders of Belgrade in 07.10.1915. at 14:30 pm, just before the infantry charge in which he was heavily wounded: "Soldiers! Heroes! The supreme command has erased our regiment from its records. Our regiment has been sacrificed for the honor of Belgrade and the Fatherland. Therefore, YOU NO LONGER HAVE TO WORRY FOR YOUR LIFES - THEY DO NOT EXIST ANYMORE. SO,FORWARD TO GLORY!FOR KING AND HOMELAND!Long live the king! Long live Serbia!"

"World War One in Serbia"

Really great documentary. I think it's created with help of artificial voices, but still it's great!
