World War One and Two in easy comics form

 
 

Angus McLeod has posted up two absolutely brilliant simple comics histories explaining the whole of World War One and World War Two in just a few minutes; a quick excerpt from 1914:

World War One in comics form Angus MacLeod

I love the British Isles reaction to the German attack through Belgium "you wanker" and the donning of the war moustache is a great touch (and indeed a great 'tache). Angus also has a similarly (and again deceptively simply but actually bloody clever) strip condensing the history of the Second World War as well – see below for a snip – so  go and check it out.
