With both sides stuck in a hard stalemate, they knew this war wasn't going to be about taking territory,

雙方陷入漫長的壕溝戰，他們知道這場戰爭不會因佔領他國領土而結束

情態副詞

but about simply wearing each other down.

The Allies had plenty of men to expend from its overseas dominions.

協約國有許多的兵力去擴張海外的領土

And the British also started a naval blockade,

so Germany couldn't import stuff, like food.

所以德國就不能進口東西，像是食物

Neither side really wanted a long grueling war, though.

雙方都不想要一個耗盡國力的戰爭

So, they both thought of ways to break the deadlock on the western front.

所以雙方打算突破西線的對峙情形

When the war first broke out Australia was quick to take German New Guinea

當戰爭剛開始時，澳洲很快地便佔領了德屬新幾內亞

The Allies also quickly jumped on Germany's colonies in Africa,

協約國也很快就進攻了德國在非洲的殖民地
(多哥 喀麥隆 德屬東非 德屬西南非洲)

locals were enlisted as soldiers and carriers by both sides.

當地居民被雙方招募成士兵或是運送工人

Leading to a tragic loss of life for the Native Africans.

造成非洲原住民大量的因戰爭死亡

Some new combatants entered the war as well.

一些新的戰場也加入了大戰的行列

Japan was busy building itself an empire.

日本正忙著將自身打造成一個帝國

So, it was more than happy to take away German Islands and colonies in East Asia

所以對他們而言 能A走一些德國在東亞的小島與殖民地再好不過了

Italy actually had an alliance with Germany and Austria-Hungary before the war.

義大利其實跟德 奧兩國在戰前是盟友

and then the Allies promising to give them some of Austria-Hungary's stuff,

然後協約國承諾會給義大利一些奧匈帝國的土地
(提羅爾 伊斯特拉半島)

Italy opened up a front in the mountains here,

they were stuck in stalemate for most of the war.

奧 義兩國也在戰爭的大多數時間陷入了對峙

The Central Powers' new friend was a struggling empire in the middle East.

而同盟國的新盟友是在中東奮鬥的一個帝國

The Ottomen where divided on whether to actually join the war or not,

鄂圖曼帝國內部分裂成了不參戰派與參戰派

since they had been exhausted by the recent Balkan Wars.

自從他們在第一次巴爾幹戰爭已經國力疲勞以來

Some of the politicians who did want to join went off on their own and fired some shells at Russia.

一些想要參戰的政治家自己跑去炮擊了俄國的海岸

The Ottoman entry into the war was of particular concern to the British,

鄂圖曼帝國加入戰局讓英國特別關心，

since the middle East was full of oil and Britain wanted all of that oil.

自從中東地區有滿滿的石油，而英國想要全部的石油

First, the Ottomans tried to attack Russia in the Caucasus Mountains.

一開始，鄂圖曼帝國嘗試去攻打在高加索山區的俄軍

But they weren't prepared for the cold and many of them froze to death.

但他們並未為酷寒的天氣準備好，所以他們大多數被凍死了

Then they crossed miles of desert to take the Suez Canal from the British.

然後他們跨越數英里的沙漠想從英國手上奪走蘇伊士運河

Then the Allies tried to take the Dardanelles at Gallipoli in a long and hard trench warfare campaign....

然後協約國想要佔領在加里波利的達達尼爾，然後進行了漫長且艱辛的壕溝戰

The Ottomans blamed their initial losses on the ethnic Armenians living within Ottoman territory.

鄂圖曼帝國把他們的損失怪在住在鄂圖曼帝國境內的亞美尼亞人身上

led to the deaths of one and a half million people.

Then, the Germans sent spies into Afghanistan

然後，德國把間諜派往了阿富汗

to try to convince the Arab tribes there to rise up in Jihad against the British

嘗試與當地的阿拉伯部落溝通來引發對英國人的聖戰

But that plan failed. Partly because the spies got bored, brewed their own alcohol, and got drunk....

但計畫失敗了，一部分是因為間諜覺得有點無聊 便釀了自己的酒 然後喝醉了

which is a bad thing to do in Afghanistan.

而那件事在阿富汗做是不好的
(伊斯蘭教教義禁止教徒飲酒)

All these new Frontiers hadn't done much to change the war.

所有這些新的戰線對戰爭並沒有太大的改變

Aware that the Allies had more men and supplies than them,

知道協約國有更多人力與補給之後

the Germans knew they had to do something to break the stalemate.

德國知道他們必須做些事來打破對峙的局面

Before the war, there was a big conference that set out the rules of Modern warfare:

戰前，有個大會議招開了，立下一些現代戰爭的規則

The Germans held a meeting, and decided to be jerks.

德軍內部開了個會議 並決定要當個G8人

Zeppelin air raids commenced over British cities,

齊柏林飛船開始從空中轟炸英國城市

they also started attacking the ally trenches with chlorine gas,

他們也開始以氯氣攻擊協約國的戰壕

and they used submarines to sink civilian ships.

其中一艘船隻叫做盧西塔尼亞號

which had a hundred and fifty-nine Americans on board when it was sunk.

當它沉沒時有159名美國人在船上

Further swaying US opinion against the Germans.

讓遠在天邊且仍躊躇不前的美國決定要對抗德國
(有人要被解放了)

Not to be completely unfair to the Germans,

the Allies also engaged in chemical warfare soon after,

協約國也在不久後使用了化學武器

and they had been hiding anti-submarine weapons on their civilian ships.

且他們已經開始在民用船隻上藏著潛艦武器

Which led the Germans justify their attacks.

Meanwhile, Austria-Hungary still hadn't dealt with Serbia,

同一時間，奧匈帝國仍然還沒處理好塞爾維亞的問題

so the central powers enlisted some help.

Bulgaria wished it was bigger and was still bitter about

且仍然對輸掉第二次巴爾幹戰爭感到怨恨

The Central Powers promised to make all of Bulgaria's wildest dreams come true if they helped.

同盟國保證如果保加利亞能幫忙 他們能成全所有保加利亞的瘋狂夢想

So they signed on and together they knocked out Serbia.

所以他們成為了盟友 並打爆了塞爾維亞

The Serbian troops retreated through Albania

which was neutral but had some ties to Austria-Hungary.

雖然中立 但跟奧匈帝國有所勾結

So, Austria-Hungary entered Albania in a 'friendly invasion' to chase down the Serbians

所以奧軍進入了阿爾巴尼亞，並以[善意的侵略]為名追殺著殘存的塞軍

As if they didn't have enough enemies already,

既然如果他們還沒有足夠的敵人

Portugal had been getting a bit chummy with the allies behind the scenes ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Around the same time, the only sea battle of the war happened.

大概在同一時間，一戰中唯一的一次海戰發生了

Both sides had a new powerful class of battleships called "Dreadnought."

雙方都有著一個新的強力的戰艦級別稱為[無畏級]

But they were so expensive to build that neither side wanted to risk losing them in a battle.

但建造它們太貴了，雙方都不想冒險在戰鬥中失去它們

So they kept them in port. Except for one time when they had a big fight and a bunch of them got damaged.

所以他們把戰艦都停在港內，除了有一次他們之間有個大海戰，而很多的無畏艦都被損傷了，所以他們沒再做第二次
(日德蘭海戰 史上最大的無畏艦海戰)

So they didn't try that again. The UK started conscripting men to the army so they had plenty of reserves.

英國開始招募士兵所以他們有很多的後備軍力

Which is just as well because the western front was about to get brutal.

The longest and one of the bloodiest battles of the war started

一戰中持續時間最長且最為血腥的戰爭開始了

when the Germans launched an attack around the French city of Verdun.

就在德軍在法國城市凡爾登發動攻勢的時候

leading to hundreds of thousands of casualties.

Under pressure, the French called on its allies to do something to draw the Germans' attention away.

在壓力之下，法軍呼叫它的盟友做些事情來轉移德軍的注意力

So, the British started their own long and brutal fight, the Battle of the Somne,

所以英軍他們自己的漫長且殘忍的戰爭:索姆河戰役

with 60,000 British casualties on just the first day.

It was also here that the British first used one crazy brand-new piece of Sci-Fi technology.

這場也是英軍第一次使用一個瘋狂且全新的科幻科技的戰爭
(坦克)

The Russians had been getting pushed back further and further into their own territory,

俄軍開始被後推到越來越靠近他們自己的領土了

but in response to the French call for help,

他們開始了一次浩大的攻勢
(勃魯希洛夫攻勢)

and did really well until they ran out of supplies and got stuck.

而他們做的不錯，直到他們補給耗盡並卡在那裏
