If you’ve always wondered how WW1 started, but you’ve never been arsed to pick up a history book, then you should definitely check this out.

From the man that brought us The History of Ireland in six minutes, comes the History of WW1… in six minutes. Manny Man, or John D Ruddy as he’s better known, squashed all the important bits of WW1 into this extremely creative video.

However, as he says himself: “[It’s] six minutes so not every single detail is in there but you get the general gist of what happened! Enjoy!”

You can check out more of John D Ruddy’s videos over on the RudTheSpud YouTube page.
