The Great War is a history YouTube channel and web series which covered the events of World War I week-by-week from July 2014 to November 2018,[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][excessive citations] now focusing on the events that followed it in longer episodes. The Great War is operated and owned by Real Time History. The series debuted on July 28, 2014. It is currently hosted and written by Jesse Alexander, a Canadian historian. It has been previously hosted by American historian and actor Indy Neidell. The channel produced weekly content that follows the events that occurred one hundred years prior during the war.[11]

After the centennial's conclusion, Indy Neidell, the first host and writer of the series, left the project and now presents the World War Two channel.[12] Jesse Alexander was picked to replace Neidell. It currently focuses on World War I's aftermath, abandoning the week-by-week format and focusing on longer, more in-depth documentaries about events that followed it, such as the German Revolution and the Russian Civil War.
