1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:16,380
The 20th century was the bloodiest age in all of world history.

2
00:00:18,060 --> 00:00:25,260
During this era, for the first time, humanity was introduced to the concept of a world war.

3
00:00:25,260 --> 00:00:33,240
Taken together, World Wars I and II resulted in a total of 65 million people losing their lives.

4
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:38,520
About half of these casualties were civilians who had nothing to do with these wars.

5
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:45,100
Children, defenseless women, and the elderly alike were massacred cruelly.

6
00:00:45,100 --> 00:00:57,200
So one might ask, how did the world find itself in the mists of such colossal insanity?

7
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:12,740
How did people so easily sacrifice both their own nations and those of others?

8
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,200
What sort of thought lay behind this cruelty?

9
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:27,200
In this film, you can discover the answers.

10
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:56,220
In this film, again, not pornography, but the

11
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:18,180
wars have existed almost since the dawn of humanity itself competing political and economic

12
00:02:18,180 --> 00:02:21,800
interests led people to take arms against one another

13
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:31,480
weapons and armies have developed hand-in-hand and so wars have grown ever more violent than destructive

14
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:47,060
however until the 20th century wars took the form of front battles in which soldiers of two armies

15
00:02:47,060 --> 00:02:54,560
would meet on both sides of a battlefield and the fighting would revolve around this axis in these

16
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,940
conflicts it was the soldiers alone who were killed

17
00:02:57,940 --> 00:03:20,500
but in the 20th century a new breed of war was born one targeting not only soldiers but also the masses

18
00:03:20,500 --> 00:03:28,300
of people the effects of such wars would be felt in not just a handful of countries but rather were

19
00:03:28,300 --> 00:03:35,300
like they had taken the entire world in their terrible maw

20
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:51,300
throughout history war has inflicted great suffering and losses to society

21
00:03:51,300 --> 00:04:01,620
a number of prophets who were sent to the people as messengers warned them against this calamity and

22
00:04:01,620 --> 00:04:02,060
turmoil

23
00:04:02,060 --> 00:04:17,300
and to medyan we sent their brother shuaib he said my people worship god and look to the last day

24
00:04:17,300 --> 00:04:20,980
and do not act unjustly on earth corrupting it

25
00:04:20,980 --> 00:04:31,720
through the voice of their prophets the israelites made a promise to god not to shed blood

26
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:38,680
and when we made a covenant with you not to shed your blood and not to expel one another from your homes

27
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,280
you agreed and were all witnesses

28
00:04:41,280 --> 00:05:11,260
in nineteenth-century europe colonialism was widespread european power was

29
00:05:11,260 --> 00:05:15,940
in the past four and it was just great britain and france had established colonial empires in

30
00:05:15,940 --> 00:05:17,180
all four corners of the world

31
00:05:17,180 --> 00:05:23,180
germany which had established its political unity later than other countries was striving to become

32
00:05:23,180 --> 00:05:26,000
a forerunner in this race

33
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:33,000
by the beginning of the twentieth century interest based relations had split europe into two opposing poles

34
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:40,760
britain france and russia were on one side and germany and the austria hungarian empire

35
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:50,520
Empire ruled by the Habsburgs of German origin were on the other.

36
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:56,640
The tension between these two groups escalated with each passing day, and finally an assassination

37
00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:00,720
in 1914 provided the spark for war.

38
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:06,160
Archduke Franz Ferdinand, the heir to the throne of the Austria-Hungarian Empire, was

39
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:17,160
killed by Serbian nationalists who sought to curb the empire's influence in the Balkans.

40
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:22,980
Within a very short period of time, provocations following on the heels of this incident pulled

41
00:06:22,980 --> 00:06:26,200
the entire European continent into war.

42
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:30,280
First, Austria-Hungary declared war against Serbia.

43
00:06:30,280 --> 00:06:39,600
Russia, a traditional ally of the Serbians, then declared war against Austria-Hungary.

44
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:46,360
Then one after another, Germany, Britain and France entered the war.

45
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:56,000
The fuse had been lit.

46
00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:01,920
Before the war had even begun, the German general staff had drawn up a plan and decided to take

47
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:05,500
control of France through a sudden attack.

48
00:07:05,500 --> 00:07:15,000
To achieve this aim, the Germans entered Belgium and later crossed the border into France.

49
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:19,900
Responding quickly, the French army stopped the Germans on the banks of the River Marne and

50
00:07:19,900 --> 00:07:22,380
started a counteroffensive.

51
00:07:22,380 --> 00:07:41,160
Although both armies suffered serious losses, no progress on the battlefront was to be found.

52
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:46,180
Both the German and French soldiers hid in trenches in order to protect themselves.

53
00:07:46,180 --> 00:07:52,780
As the result of a series of attacks stretching over several months, some 400,000 French soldiers

54
00:07:52,780 --> 00:07:54,360
were killed.

55
00:07:54,360 --> 00:08:01,560
The death toll of German soldiers reached 350,000.

56
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:07,460
Trench warfare became the main strategy of World War I.

57
00:08:07,460 --> 00:08:27,220
Over the next few years, soldiers practically lived in these trenches.

58
00:08:27,220 --> 00:08:30,320
Life there was difficult in the extreme.

59
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:35,660
Soldiers lived under the constant threat of being bombarded, and they constantly faced extreme

60
00:08:35,660 --> 00:08:40,860
stress and fear.

61
00:08:40,860 --> 00:08:46,820
The bodies of those who died had to remain in these places, and soldiers had to sleep next

62
00:08:46,820 --> 00:08:58,100
to the corpses.

63
00:08:58,100 --> 00:09:07,480
When it rained, the trenches overflowed with mud.

64
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:12,760
More than 20 million soldiers who fought in World War I suffered horrific conditions in

65
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:14,400
these trenches.

66
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:19,080
And most of them died there.

67
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:25,800
Within a few weeks of its being established by a 1914 German attack, the war's western front

68
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,680
was essentially fixed in a stalemate.

69
00:09:28,680 --> 00:09:33,720
The soldiers burrowed in these trenches were trapped at a distance of only a few hundred meters

70
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,620
away from each other.

71
00:09:35,620 --> 00:09:51,620
The attack launched in an effort to end this stalemate was going to cost more lives.

72
00:09:51,620 --> 00:10:00,740
At the beginning of 1916, Germans developed a new plan to break through the western front.

73
00:10:00,740 --> 00:10:06,140
Their plan was to suddenly attack the city of Verdun, which was considered the pride of

74
00:10:06,140 --> 00:10:08,140
the French.

75
00:10:08,140 --> 00:10:13,940
The goal of the attack was not to win the war, but rather to inflict great losses on the French

76
00:10:13,940 --> 00:10:22,800
army and so weaken their resistance.

77
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:29,000
German chief of staff, Balkenheim, calculated that every German soldier was going to single-handedly

78
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:38,320
kill three French soldiers.

79
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,720
The attack began on February 21.

80
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:47,720
German commanders ordered their soldiers to get out of their trenches, but every soldier

81
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:57,720
that did so was dead or dying in about three minutes.

82
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:04,120
Despite attacks that went on for months on end, the Germans failed to capture Verdun.

83
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:14,280
Taken together, the two sides lost about a million soldiers.

84
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:20,680
And for that effort, the front line nudged 12 kilometers.

85
00:11:20,680 --> 00:11:36,600
One million people died for the sake of a dozen kilometers.

86
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:43,120
The British retaliated against Germany's attack on Verdun with the Battle of the Somme.

87
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:53,220
British factories produced hundreds of thousands of artillery shells.

88
00:11:53,220 --> 00:11:58,780
General Douglas Haig's plans called for the British army to rain down continuous bombardment

89
00:11:58,780 --> 00:12:03,400
for a full week, followed by an infantry attack.

90
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:08,960
Many believed that they would advance 14 kilometers on the first day alone, and then shatter all

91
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:19,220
the German lines within a single week.

92
00:12:19,220 --> 00:12:22,260
The attack began on June 1.

93
00:12:22,260 --> 00:12:27,720
British artillerymen attacked German lines for one week without let-up.

94
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:33,220
At the end of that week, British officers ordered their soldiers to climb out of their trenches.

95
00:12:33,220 --> 00:12:52,540
However, during the bombardment, the German soldiers had sat tight in their deep trenches and

96
00:12:52,540 --> 00:12:57,340
so hadn't been destroyed, foiling the British plan.

97
00:12:57,340 --> 00:13:02,900
As the British soldiers moved across the front lines, the German soldiers opened up on them

98
00:13:02,900 --> 00:13:04,900
with their machine guns.

99
00:13:04,900 --> 00:13:09,340
A total of 20,000 British soldiers died in the first few hours of the battle.

100
00:13:09,340 --> 00:13:16,340
In the darkness of that night, the field between two fronts was filled with tens of thousands of dead bodies as well as injured soldiers trying to drag themselves back.

101
00:13:16,340 --> 00:13:23,340
The battle of the Somme lasted not for the two weeks that General Haig had planned on, but rather for five months.

102
00:13:23,340 --> 00:13:24,340
These months were nothing but massacres.

103
00:13:24,340 --> 00:13:30,340
Generals insistently sent wave after wave of their soldiers to a certain death.

104
00:13:30,340 --> 00:13:37,340
At the end of the battle, the sides between themselves had lost a total of 900,000 men.

105
00:13:37,340 --> 00:13:42,340
The battle of the Somme lasted not for the two weeks that General Haig had planned on, but rather for five months.

106
00:13:42,340 --> 00:13:45,340
These months were nothing but massacres.

107
00:13:45,340 --> 00:13:46,340
The front moved only 11 kilometers.

108
00:13:46,340 --> 00:13:47,340
These soldiers were sacrificed for a mere 11 kilometers.

109
00:13:47,340 --> 00:14:00,340
These soldiers were sacrificed for a mere 11 kilometers.

110
00:14:00,340 --> 00:14:16,340
Both sides had many more attacks during World War I.

111
00:14:16,340 --> 00:14:21,340
And each one of these attacks was a massacre in itself.

112
00:14:21,340 --> 00:14:28,340
Three battles took place in Belgium's town of Ypres alone.

113
00:14:28,340 --> 00:14:35,340
Some half a million soldiers died only in the third battle.

114
00:14:35,340 --> 00:14:38,340
Each attack had the same result.

115
00:14:38,340 --> 00:14:43,340
Thousands of lives lost only to advance for a handful of kilometers.

116
00:14:58,340 --> 00:15:06,340
This terrible war, which had no good cause, claimed the lives of countless innocents.

117
00:15:06,340 --> 00:15:13,340
Many people lost their relatives or had to abandon their homes.

118
00:15:13,340 --> 00:15:26,340
The ultimate causes behind this social catastrophe were political ambitions and the interests of certain ideological circles.

119
00:15:26,340 --> 00:15:35,340
Promoting corruption, which is caused by the worldly ambitions of those who deny God, is forbidden in the Koran.

120
00:15:35,340 --> 00:15:45,340
God forbids people to cause corruption on the earth.

121
00:15:45,340 --> 00:15:48,340
Do not corrupt the earth after it has been put right.

122
00:15:48,340 --> 00:15:50,340
Call on Him fearfully and eagerly.

123
00:15:50,340 --> 00:15:54,340
God's mercy is close to the good-doers.

124
00:15:54,340 --> 00:16:15,340
God's mercy is close.

125
00:16:15,340 --> 00:16:21,340
World War I ushered in the first appearance of a host of deadly phenomena.

126
00:16:21,340 --> 00:16:30,340
One of these was that war began targeting not only armies, but also civilians.

127
00:16:30,340 --> 00:16:41,340
The first bombardment aimed at civilian populations was a 1915 attack on Britain by a German Zeppelin.

128
00:16:41,340 --> 00:16:49,340
The bombs hurled from these Zeppelins took the lives of many innocents.

129
00:16:49,340 --> 00:17:00,340
The German submarine U-boats began a campaign of firing on civilian ships crossing the Atlantic Ocean.

130
00:17:00,340 --> 00:17:10,340
On May 7, 1915, the world's biggest transatlantic ship, the Lusitania, was sunk just off the coast of Ireland by a U-boat attack.

131
00:17:10,340 --> 00:17:28,340
Out of the Lusitania's 2,000 passengers, a total of 1,195 people drowned or died in the attack.

132
00:17:28,340 --> 00:17:32,340
Another disaster of the war was chemical weapons.

133
00:17:32,340 --> 00:17:43,340
Poison gas, a weapon first used by the French and later also by the Germans, led to the agonizing death of thousands of soldiers.

134
00:17:43,340 --> 00:17:46,340
Many soldiers were blinded by the gas.

135
00:17:54,340 --> 00:17:59,340
And armies had to resort to issuing gas masks as a protective measure.

136
00:17:59,340 --> 00:18:09,340
Civilians, too, were given gas masks to protect them from the often deadly menace.

137
00:18:13,340 --> 00:18:24,340
In 1918, World War I finally drew to a close after four years of pointless attacks at the hands of the British, French and German armies.

138
00:18:24,340 --> 00:18:36,340
But this peace, declared at 11 a.m. on the 11th day of the 11th month, wasn't going to bring happiness to anyone.

139
00:18:36,340 --> 00:18:52,340
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers remained handicapped.

140
00:18:52,340 --> 00:19:02,340
Others proved unable to overcome the psychological impact of war after living in these trenches full of mud, dirt and dead bodies.

141
00:19:02,340 --> 00:19:17,340
The form of trauma known as shell shock was very common among war veterans, and it caused its sufferers to undergo fits of intense fear and shaking.

142
00:19:17,340 --> 00:19:24,340
The fear of being bombed, which they had lived with every day for four years on end, was engraved in their brains.

143
00:19:24,340 --> 00:19:40,340
Some patients felt compelled to go hide themselves at the mere mention of the word bomb.

144
00:19:40,340 --> 00:19:47,340
Some veterans even felt terror grip them whenever they saw a uniform.

145
00:19:47,340 --> 00:20:05,340
Tens of thousands of soldiers also lost one or more limbs in this war.

146
00:20:05,340 --> 00:20:27,340
So legion were the ranks of soldiers whose eyes, chins or noses were disfigured during the bombings that special masks were invented in Europe to mask their scarred faces.

147
00:20:27,340 --> 00:20:34,340
The great pain inflicted by World War I was also reflected in the fine arts.

148
00:20:34,340 --> 00:20:38,340
Works of postwar art depicted pain and insanity.

149
00:20:38,340 --> 00:20:53,340
These works reflected not only the psychologies of the artists, but also that of the entire generation.

150
00:20:53,340 --> 00:21:02,340
This generation, which felt the impact of the war's misery so deeply, was later dubbed the Lost Generation.

151
00:21:02,340 --> 00:21:09,340
As we have seen, this generation is the greatest generation.

152
00:21:09,340 --> 00:21:31,340
As we have seen, this generation is the greatest generation.

153
00:21:31,340 --> 00:21:37,340
As we have seen, war is a great agent of cruelty which has no benefit for people or society.

154
00:21:37,340 --> 00:21:46,340
It is a social catastrophe which brings forth great pain and inflicts deep wounds on people which are long in healing, if they can.

155
00:21:46,340 --> 00:21:54,340
God, on the other hand, has instructed people to steer clear of wars and to make peace prevail.

156
00:21:54,340 --> 00:22:07,340
God gives good news to those who commit good deeds.

157
00:22:07,340 --> 00:22:15,340
That abode of the hereafter, we grant it to those who do not seek to exalt themselves in the earth or to cause corruption in it.

158
00:22:15,340 --> 00:22:21,340
The successful outcome is for those who do their duty.

159
00:22:21,340 --> 00:22:28,340
Would we make those who believe and do right actions the same as those who cause corruption on the earth?

160
00:22:28,340 --> 00:22:34,340
Would we make those who do their duty the same as the desolate?

161
00:22:34,340 --> 00:22:53,340
Would we make those who do their duty the same as the desolate?

162
00:22:53,340 --> 00:23:09,860
So, what was the cause of this disaster which transformed Europe into an ocean of love?

163
00:23:09,860 --> 00:23:15,140
Why did the leaders of powerful countries push their nations into such a meaningless

164
00:23:15,140 --> 00:23:22,300
pit of death?

165
00:23:22,300 --> 00:23:28,520
Before the war, many people thought that such a war would be very beneficial and even that

166
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:30,760
it was necessary.

167
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:43,900
Many people welcomed the war and were overjoyed when war was declared.

168
00:23:43,900 --> 00:23:50,820
Leaders were proud to send off their soldiers to the battlefields.

169
00:23:50,820 --> 00:23:58,040
The main cause of this great mistake was their belief in a concept, namely, Darwinism.

170
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:01,040
American historian Thomas Knapp explains this as follows.

171
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:08,260
The war itself was not a surprise.

172
00:24:08,260 --> 00:24:14,260
It had been, in fact, anticipated in wide European circles in the decade or so before 1914.

173
00:24:14,260 --> 00:24:22,600
There's even a fair amount of evidence to show that the number of Europeans on all sides welcomed

174
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:24,480
the war.

175
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:30,160
War was to be cleansing, exciting, rejuvenating.

176
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:35,480
Educational systems in most European countries were shot through with a kind of social Darwinist,

177
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:45,700
collective mentality in which war was seen as exhilarating and ennobling.

178
00:24:45,700 --> 00:24:53,660
Social Darwinism was the application of Darwin's evolutionary theory to society.

179
00:24:53,660 --> 00:24:59,960
From this theory, which was later disproved, Darwin claimed that all creatures in nature were engaged

180
00:24:59,960 --> 00:25:02,660
in a struggle to survive.

181
00:25:02,660 --> 00:25:10,180
He claimed that humans were an advanced form of animal which moved ahead through conflict.

182
00:25:10,180 --> 00:25:15,720
This mistaken theory, which looked like a scientific fact to many people considering the technological

183
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:22,460
level of that age, formed the foundation for World War I as well as a number of other social

184
00:25:22,460 --> 00:25:28,360
disasters.

185
00:25:28,360 --> 00:25:33,720
The diaries and personal correspondence of European leaders from that time show that they were

186
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:39,540
influenced by social Darwinism.

187
00:25:39,540 --> 00:25:44,620
These leaders rejected the path of love and mercy-based morality which God had revealed

188
00:25:44,620 --> 00:25:51,260
to the people in favor of social Darwinism instead.

189
00:25:51,260 --> 00:26:03,260
For instance, General von Hutzendorf, the Austria-Hungarian chief of staff, wrote this in his post-war memoirs.

190
00:26:03,260 --> 00:26:08,940
Philanthropic religions, moral teachings and philosophical doctrines may certainly sometimes serve to weaken

191
00:26:08,940 --> 00:26:12,820
mankind's struggle for existence in its crudest form.

192
00:26:12,820 --> 00:26:17,360
They will never succeed in removing it as a driving motive of the world.

193
00:26:17,360 --> 00:26:21,700
It is in accordance with this great principle that the catastrophe of the World War came

194
00:26:21,700 --> 00:26:27,580
about as the result of the motive forces in the lives of states and peoples, like a thunderstorm

195
00:26:27,580 --> 00:26:40,960
which must by its nature discharge itself.

196
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:49,940
Frederick von Bernhardi, another First World War general, also drew a link between war and the so-called evolutionary laws of nature.

197
00:26:49,940 --> 00:26:54,480
War is a biological necessity.

198
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,980
It is as necessary as the struggle of the elements of nature.

199
00:26:57,980 --> 00:27:08,480
It gives a biologically just decision since its decisions rest on the very nature of things.

200
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:17,020
In sum, World War I was caused by European rulers who believed that fighting, bloodshed, suffering and making others suffer

201
00:27:17,020 --> 00:27:20,480
were all part of the law of nature.

202
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:31,480
It is Darwin's evolutionary theory which pushed an entire generation into these mistaken beliefs.

203
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:46,020
The dark figure of Darwin lurks behind the curtain of war.

204
00:27:46,020 --> 00:27:54,440
However, contrary to Darwin's claims, humans are not animals that survive in order to do battle with each other.

205
00:27:54,440 --> 00:28:04,020
In the Qur'an, God has this to say about those who start wars.

206
00:28:04,020 --> 00:28:08,800
Each time they kindle the fire of war, God extinguishes it.

207
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:11,640
They rush about the earth, corrupting it.

208
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:13,440
God does not love corrupters.

209
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:33,300
God created people, gave them a spirit that is unique among all other living things, and commanded

210
00:28:33,300 --> 00:28:36,860
them to lead a moral existence.

211
00:28:36,860 --> 00:28:43,560
This way of life requires love, fraternity, mercy and peace.

212
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:49,600
Only if people obey this instruction can the world become a place of peace.

213
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:59,420
The divine order that will bring peace and salvation to all humanity is expressed in the Qur'an as follows.

214
00:28:59,420 --> 00:29:06,320
And do good as God has been good to you, and do not seek to cause corruption in the earth.

215
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:08,280
God does not love corrupters.

216
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:23,000
God does not love corrupters.

217
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:24,900
God does not love corrupters.

218
00:29:24,900 --> 00:29:28,300
God is always Do good to heal free Nazis, who espessily here.

219
00:29:28,300 --> 00:29:30,580
He глазube.

220
00:29:30,580 --> 00:29:33,800
So eventually that's three of them will fortune to walk back afterкам leads to death and kill.

221
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:37,560
First people say they do not follow.

222
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:39,760
And they will...

223
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:45,840
The other people do not Excel teach my life

224
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:47,660
Things they call Sapp нат�� chia

225
00:29:47,660 --> 00:29:57,660
World War I was the product of a thought system that assumed that fighting and bloodshed were

226
00:29:57,660 --> 00:30:07,660
an essential law of nature.

227
00:30:07,660 --> 00:30:12,660
Even after the war ended, this philosophy lived on.

228
00:30:12,660 --> 00:30:23,660
Because it did not die, it went on to plant the seed of an even larger, more terrifying war.

229
00:30:23,660 --> 00:30:33,660
Germany was at the center of this great threat.

230
00:30:33,660 --> 00:30:41,660
The Treaty of Versailles that ended World War I imposed on Germany a very heavy financial burden of compensation.

231
00:30:41,660 --> 00:30:50,660
Even as the nation struggled to recover from the effects of the war, it began to fall into a serious economic crisis.

232
00:30:50,660 --> 00:30:54,660
Competing political groups took to fighting in the streets.

233
00:30:54,660 --> 00:31:01,660
In the midst of this chaotic atmosphere, a fanatical political movement began to rise.

234
00:31:01,660 --> 00:31:13,660
This was the Nazi party led by Adolf Hitler.

235
00:31:13,660 --> 00:31:20,660
The Naziism was nothing but an interpretation of social Darwinism.

236
00:31:20,660 --> 00:31:27,660
Hitler had already adopted the racial struggle to survive view, which was the basis of Darwin's theory.

237
00:31:27,660 --> 00:31:34,660
According to Hitler, the Aryan race of the German people was at the top rung of the evolutionary ladder,

238
00:31:34,660 --> 00:31:37,660
and it had the right to rule over other races.

239
00:31:37,660 --> 00:31:42,660
In order to make this view a reality, they needed another war.

240
00:31:42,660 --> 00:31:46,660
A war that would make Germany the ruler of the whole world.

241
00:31:46,660 --> 00:32:14,660
Brutal, ambitious leaders were leading this movement.

242
00:32:14,660 --> 00:32:21,660
The situation of these leaders was explained as follows in the Koran.

243
00:32:21,660 --> 00:32:33,660
When he holds the upper hand, he goes about the earth corrupting it, destroying people's crops and breeding stock.

244
00:32:33,660 --> 00:32:36,660
God does not love corruption.

245
00:32:36,660 --> 00:32:45,660
Then, is it to be expected of you, if you assumed power, that you will cause corruption in the earth and sever your ties of kinship?

246
00:32:45,660 --> 00:33:13,660
Naziism started another world war in 1939.

247
00:33:13,660 --> 00:33:19,660
Nazi armies occupied Poland through a sudden attack.

248
00:33:19,660 --> 00:33:23,660
Germany brought Poland to its knees in only three weeks.

249
00:33:23,660 --> 00:33:28,660
Poland's capital, Warsaw, was bombed mercilessly and many civilians died.

250
00:33:28,660 --> 00:33:47,660
The entire world was huddled in fear, waiting to see what the next target would be.

251
00:33:47,660 --> 00:33:51,660
The German general staff was making plans for new attacks.

252
00:33:51,660 --> 00:33:56,660
Meanwhile, another totalitarian power took the first step towards war.

253
00:33:56,660 --> 00:34:02,660
The Soviet Union ruled by Stalin's bloody dictatorship.

254
00:34:02,660 --> 00:34:12,660
Stalin and Hitler signed a non-aggression pact in August 1939.

255
00:34:12,660 --> 00:34:20,660
They reached an agreement to share Poland, but this was not to satisfy Stalin.

256
00:34:20,660 --> 00:34:27,660
With a sudden attack, the Red Army invaded the Baltic states of Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania.

257
00:34:27,660 --> 00:34:31,660
Then they moved towards the north and occupied Finland.

258
00:34:31,660 --> 00:34:35,660
This attack claimed over a quarter million lives.

259
00:34:35,660 --> 00:34:51,660
Hitler's troops occupied Denmark, Norway, Belgium and the Netherlands.

260
00:34:51,660 --> 00:35:09,660
German armies entered France via Belgium in May 1940.

261
00:35:09,660 --> 00:35:24,660
Tens of thousands of civilians started fleeing their homes out of fear of Nazi violence.

262
00:35:24,660 --> 00:35:30,660
On June 13, German armies marched into the streets of Paris.

263
00:35:30,660 --> 00:35:34,660
Hitler posed for photographs in front of the Eiffel Tower.

264
00:35:34,660 --> 00:35:42,660
In the months to come, Germany went on to invade Bulgaria, Yugoslavia and Greece.

265
00:35:43,660 --> 00:35:48,660
All of entire Europe was being crushed under Hitler's boots.

266
00:35:48,660 --> 00:35:54,660
Germany's largest plan for occupation was against one-time ally Russia.

267
00:35:55,660 --> 00:36:04,660
This plan, codenamed Operation Barbarossa, began with a sudden attack on June 22, 1941.

268
00:36:18,660 --> 00:36:28,660
The German army moved quickly, and within 12 weeks, they had invaded Kiev.

269
00:36:28,660 --> 00:36:32,660
One month later, they were at the outskirts of Moscow.

270
00:36:33,660 --> 00:36:40,660
The next three years witnessed the unfolding of a horrific war between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union.

271
00:36:40,660 --> 00:36:49,660
This conflict, which became the bloodiest war in all of history, claimed the lives of over 30 million people.

272
00:36:53,660 --> 00:37:00,660
Both of the sides fighting in this war, Nazism and Communism, committed terrible crimes against humanity.

273
00:37:00,660 --> 00:37:17,660
The ideologies fighting in this war were trying to realize their own plans and expectations,

274
00:37:17,660 --> 00:37:21,660
although they had no moral or humanitarian cause.

275
00:37:21,660 --> 00:37:30,660
Towards their ends, they allowed the killings of millions of people.

276
00:37:34,660 --> 00:37:39,660
Supporting such cruelty, which recognizes no boundaries, is strictly forbidden in the Koran.

277
00:37:39,660 --> 00:37:57,660
Do not obey the orders of the profligate, those who corrupt the earth and do not put things right.

278
00:37:57,660 --> 00:37:58,660
You will be divided by the Nazi, both the ruling of war.

279
00:37:58,660 --> 00:37:59,660
You will do some woolly prey.

280
00:37:59,660 --> 00:38:24,660
You will break it obviously, but you will break it quite a bit.

281
00:38:24,660 --> 00:38:31,300
world war ii was more than just a war it was also a concerted effort to commit massacres

282
00:38:31,300 --> 00:38:40,980
and genocide this initiative was based on hitler's racist living space policy

283
00:38:40,980 --> 00:38:58,260
he claimed that germany's current territory was not enough for the german people

284
00:38:58,260 --> 00:39:04,740
and that the aryan race was being squeezed on this land he thus argued that they had to occupy the

285
00:39:04,740 --> 00:39:11,700
eastern european countries and turned these places into lebensraum or living space for germans

286
00:39:13,220 --> 00:39:18,580
the tens of millions of people already living on these lands faced cruel massacres

287
00:39:19,940 --> 00:39:25,780
the nazi armies perpetrated enormous massacres in every region they occupied in eastern europe

288
00:39:34,740 --> 00:39:44,020
so

289
00:39:44,020 --> 00:40:10,520
In particular, they carried out wantonly merciless acts against Jews, Gypsies, Poles, and Slavs,

290
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:19,520
groups they saw as inferior to them. Special Nazi SS units, formed especially to carry out these massacres,

291
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:25,520
started killing all the groups they targeted, above all, the Jews.

292
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:36,520
All the occupied areas were thick with the bodies of the dead and survivors grieving over them.

293
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:47,520
Clergymen and places of worship were favorite targets of the Nazis.

294
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:54,520
They burned and destroyed all the churches and killed people of faith.

295
00:40:54,520 --> 00:41:01,520
Clergymen and places of worship were favorite targets of the Nazis.

296
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:07,520
They burned and destroyed all the churches and killed people of faith.

297
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:19,520
The Nazis' cruelty was on full show in their concentration camps.

298
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:26,520
Jews, Gypsies, prisoners of war, and Catholic clergymen were made to toil like slaves.

299
00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:33,520
These camps were turned into slaughterhouses for human beings.

300
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:44,520
Millions of innocent men, women, and children were cruelly murdered in systems designed to kill people en masse.

301
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:59,520
When the camps were liberated, the Allies were greeted by tens of thousands of dead bodies side by side with prisoners waiting at death's door.

302
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:06,520
In the Nazi concentration camps, a total of 11 million innocent people lost their lives.

303
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:12,520
By 1943, it had become clear that the Nazis were going to lose the war.

304
00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:18,520
In Stalingrad, Hitler's army suffered a huge defeat at the hands of Soviet forces.

305
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:25,520
After this disaster, Germans also lost another battle in the Kursk region,

306
00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:29,520
an event known as the greatest tank battle in history.

307
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:48,520
defeat was now inevitable.

308
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:53,520
But the Nazis, even as they withdrew, continued their slaughter.

309
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:58,520
Acting under Hitler's orders, they laid waste to all the areas they passed through

310
00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:02,520
and killed civilians.

311
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:08,520
German armies left behind millions of dead bodies and survivors grieving for their relatives.

312
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:35,520
When the Allied armies reached Berlin, the downfall of Nazism was inevitable.

313
00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:49,520
However, the Red Army troops which entered Berlin were representatives of another ideology of violence.

314
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:57,520
In the years to come, it became all too clear that Stalin's armies were no less cruel and violent than Hitler's.

315
00:43:57,520 --> 00:44:04,520
About the same number of people came to perish in Stalin's camps.

316
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:12,520
In the areas they occupied, Stalin's soldiers committed massacres similar to the atrocities of Nazi soldiers.

317
00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:19,520
The insanity known as World War II claimed the lives of 55 million people.

318
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:25,520
The world has borne witness to another satanic rite of bloodshed.

319
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:26,520
In the years of bloodshed.

320
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:28,520
In the years of bloodshed.

321
00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:30,520
In the years of bloodshed.

322
00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:35,520
memory ends

323
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:37,520
by the stars during B 성공's death

324
00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:39,520
by the German army.

325
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:43,520
In the years of war, the police inά so escapades females.

326
00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:48,520
And when gold ranked war front.

327
00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:50,520
After róż all the wars Bite shall be abandoned and blown.

328
00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:55,520
In the years of P Scheer temps

329
00:44:55,520 --> 00:45:08,600
However, God told the people to follow the way of peace and security, not evil.

330
00:45:14,180 --> 00:45:18,540
O you who believe, enter absolutely into peace.

331
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:21,380
Do not follow in the footsteps of Satan.

332
00:45:22,260 --> 00:45:24,240
He is an outright enemy to you.

333
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:54,960
The two world wars of the last century that we somehow lived through

334
00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:57,280
offer important lessons for humanity.

335
00:45:58,560 --> 00:46:04,600
Both of these tragedies showed that wars aren't merely a natural result of conflicts of interest

336
00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:09,760
between countries, because such conflicts can be resolved through diplomatic means.

337
00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:16,940
The real cause of war is the ideology of the people who make the decisions to pursue it.

338
00:46:16,940 --> 00:46:26,580
This is the ideology that regards fighting, bloodshed, and inflicting suffering as elements of human nature.

339
00:46:26,580 --> 00:46:28,900
This is the real cause of violence.

340
00:46:28,900 --> 00:46:36,220
This ideology is called social Darwinism.

341
00:46:36,220 --> 00:46:44,680
It is the belief that humans are a mere kind of animal that came into existence as a result of a string of coincidences.

342
00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:55,320
World War I was the product of European leaders who openly expressed their Darwinist views.

343
00:46:55,320 --> 00:47:02,320
Those responsible for world war II also had strong faith in social Darwinism.

344
00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:11,640
Hitler borrowed this racist ideology and his faith in wars from Darwinism.

345
00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:20,700
His biography, Mein Kampf, My Struggle, represents an adaptation of Darwin's struggle to survive.

346
00:47:20,700 --> 00:47:29,040
In his early years when he was working as a journalist, Italian fascist leader Mussolini was such a committed evolutionist

347
00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:33,700
that he even considered Darwin the greatest thinker of the 19th century.

348
00:47:33,700 --> 00:47:43,600
During his dictatorship, he maintained the same ideology and claimed that the existence of war was a law of evolution.

349
00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:52,600
Although trained as a priest during his youth, Stalin became an atheist after reading Darwin's Origin of Species.

350
00:47:52,600 --> 00:48:02,600
During his violent rule, he imposed the theories of Darwin and Lamarck, an even more primitive evolutionist, on the Russian people.

351
00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:10,600
For these dictators who saw humans as herds of animals, shedding blood was a mere biological process.

352
00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:17,600
Behind the murders, we find the dictators' faith in social Darwinism.

353
00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:32,600
There will be no peace on earth as long as social Darwinism continues to exist.

354
00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:39,600
This ideology invites nations and even whole civilizations to continuous conflict.

355
00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:46,600
According to social Darwinism, this is humanity's reason for existence.

356
00:48:55,600 --> 00:48:58,600
The reality, on the other hand, is very different.

357
00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:07,600
People exist not to fight with each other, but rather to serve God and lead their lives under His guidance.

358
00:49:07,600 --> 00:49:13,600
This requires love, forgiveness, and peace.

359
00:49:13,600 --> 00:49:25,600
When people come to realize this, there will be an end to war and tears, and peace and happiness will prevail.

360
00:49:25,600 --> 00:49:28,600
This is revealed in the Qur'an.

361
00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:37,600
God calls to the abode of peace, and He guides whom He wills to a straight path.

362
00:49:37,600 --> 00:49:43,600
Believers should cooperate with each other in order to spread friendship, fellowship, and unity.

363
00:49:43,600 --> 00:49:48,600
For if they do not, turmoil and corruption will always plague the world.

364
00:49:48,600 --> 00:49:53,600
The Qur'an lays out this vitally important truth.

365
00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:58,600
Those who disbelieve are the friends and protectors of one another.

366
00:49:58,600 --> 00:50:03,600
If you do not act in this way, that is, protect each other,

367
00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:07,600
there will be turmoil in the land and great corruption.

368
00:50:07,600 --> 00:50:13,600
