<p>Before the trenches of the Western Front and the assassination in Sarajevo, there was the First Balkan War. In 1912, an &quot;Unholy Alliance&quot; did the impossible: they broke a 600-year-old Empire in just a few months.In this video, we go behind the scenes of the &quot;Great Game&quot; to reveal how the world&#39;s superpowers—Britain, Russia, France, and Germany—used the Balkans as a testing ground for the catastrophe to come. From the &quot;Gold Diplomacy&quot; of French banks to the secret Pan-Slavic dreams of the Tsars, we explore how this regional skirmish became the &quot;Curtain Raiser&quot; for Global War and the dark precursor to the 20th century’s first genocides.Key Chapters:<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCs9-Qz8sTw">0:00</a> The Sick Man of Europe<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCs9-Qz8sTw&t=135s">2:15</a> The Unlikely Miracle: The Balkan League<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCs9-Qz8sTw&t=330s">5:30</a> The Secret Power Play: Britain vs. Russia<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCs9-Qz8sTw&t=525s">8:45</a> Schneider vs. Krupp: The Battle of Firepower12:10 The 1912 Spark that Lit 1914First Balkan War, History Documentary, Ottoman Empire, World War I Origins, Pan-Slavism, Great Game, Balkan League 1912, Military History, Russian Empire, British Empire History, French Diplomacy, Schneider-Creusot, Lule Burgas, Kumanovo.</p>
