WWI In a Nutshell (Explained by Arthur)

EDIT: Thanks for the feedback and suggestions y'all. Damn, I really wish I could go back and change some stuff like Switzerland's place and Prussia. Suppose it was influenced by my love from Hetalia... Anywho, this could be interpreted as Hetalia, but I am choosing to publish it as a depiction of the real thing. And I look at all your comments; Some of you are asking for WWII in a nutshell, and to that, I say: Possibly. I'll need to go searching for the right episode/scene as this was originally inspired by a measly video I saw and its comments, not my own personal idea. Again, thank you all for your comments and suggestions!

EDIT2 (05/25/19): Yeah, yeah, I might be a little sensitive when it comes to comments providing criticism. Though that wasn't the only reason why I turned off likes/dislikes and comments as all the notifications in the top right of my screen were becoming bothersome. I've been busy with school work and my personal life so making more videos may be unlikely. However, I've kept ideas in the back of my head if I were to come back to make some. Thank you for all the support and that one comment that hit home but inspired me to open this video back up. Stay spicy

My favorite part was America as the background character rabbit banging erasers together to represent neutrality!

Okay, so if you are confused about this like I was, here is the story
Austria-Hungary's pencil was worn down, so she asked Turkey to get a new one from Russia's desk. Turkey refused, so she asked Serbia to sharpen the pencil in return for a seat at Turkey and Austria's table. Russia is angered by this, so he threatens to crush Serbia's project (Central Powers). Germany doesn't like this, so she threatens Britain's rubber ball (Belgium, whom had an alliance with Britain.) Austria-Hungary threatens to cover Russia's desk with soldiers (invasion of Russia), but France was promised those soldiers (?), and threatens German troops. Bulgaria is in support of Germany, and if German soldiers are killed, she will take Romania's oil. If Romania loses those oil fields, then Turkey and the rest of the Central powers can kiss those relations goodbye. Russia then threatens Serbia with the lose of German troops (once again, why?) if they comply with Austria. Serbia goes through with Austrian commands, and so:
Russia destroys the Central Powers
Belgium is tossed out the window by Germany
Britain destroy Austrian commands
Russia destroys the German soldiers
Austria invades Russia
France destroys German soldiers
Bulgaria invades Romania
Romania cuts ties with the Ottomans
So yeah, not a perfect demonstration of what happened, but pretty darn close.

This episode scared me when I was little since it was basically the kid version of a riot with how nasty everyone was being.

"Since this class is a normally a well-behaved group of children, I'm going to give you an opportunity to work together to clean this mess."

Yes, Europe in the 1910's has always been "well-behaved." Haha.
