I can see you doing an Austrian monarch rankings, dating back to the Habsburg Maximillian I, though when exactly one can actually say the date of Austria being Austria is a mess.
great video though personally i would rank it slightly differently 1. Fredrick the Great (obviously) 2. The Great Elector (i simply think his achievements are greater than the Soldier King's) 3. the Soldier King 4. Albert (While he was manipulated quite a bit i don't think many of his decisions really harmed Prussia unlike the lavish spending of Fredrick 1st 5. Wilhelm 1st (ranked higher for the same reason as Albert) 6. Fredrick 1st 7. Fredrick William 2nd 8. John Sigismund 9. Frederick Wilhelm 4th (ranked him higher cause despite being a poor king he wasn't picking fights with people like napoleon so carelessly like his predecessor. 10. Fredrick Wilhelm 3rd (an idiot) 11. Wilhelm 2nd (an even bigger idiot) 12. George Wilhelm (ranked him lower cause he essentially abandoned his kingdom while half the population was being slaughtered 13. Albert Fredrick (rip)
Thanks for the positive feedback. I myself struggled between ranking the Great elector and the Soldier King as both made giant strides in terms of Prussian military and policies. Also I understand why you put Friedrich I so low but for me the elevation of Prussia to a Kingdom really helped his ranking.
Look I don't Wanna make a Enemy of You but the Ranking Itself is Very Flawed and Lacks Real Reflections of the Monarchs also 15:31 If you Knew that Putting Wilhelm II in the Lowest Spot of the Top Ten would Piss Others Off due to the New Era of Realization of the Kaiser's Regime and German Empire as a Whole you Should of at Least Put em Close to the Top Five also Only because you Still Believe the Entente-Influenced Information of Wilhelm and It would be Hard for you to Start Praising Kaiser Wilhelm II's Reign
@@hofnarrtheclownwell maybe your right, can you link some of the sources you have found to back this up because many of the sites i use all offer up the same info
@@sirruadhri3316 Okay but I don't See how the Regency Counts because Technically he Still isn't the Monarch by Then so you Definitely Overrated Him a Bit
@@hofnarrtheclown He ate himself to death. He only drank and ate all day long doing absolutely nothing. Hes just lucky to be the first duke to rule over a united Prussia.
I would Say he Believes in Entente-Influenced Info not Directly to the Propaganda since he didn't Label the Kaiser as a Warlord who Wanted the War to Happen

Thanks for the support, I'm trying these new ranking type videos to change up my content for once and I'm enjoying it so far!!
@@sirruadhri3316 no problem. I love ranking videos about history, so keep up the good work🙂
Awesome video, but the title should have been Ranking Prussian Rulers (Dukes,Kings,Emperors)

That would be a good idea, maybe ranking every Habsburg ruler in Austria or even just Holy Roman Emperors in general
@@sirruadhri3316 Since Maximillian, as there was still a split with the house of Habsburg until the Istrian branch submitted to Vienna.
@tyvamakes5226 Ah yes that makes sense, so it would go from Maximilian I all the way until Karl I in terms of Austria
We are entering a Golden Age
The dark days are no more
Nice bro do Spanish leaders and Russian tsars next Chinese Egyptian and they Indian and Japanese if you can
Thanks for the ideas, I'll consider them for sure!

Flawed (Not trying to Get into a Argument with you but Flawed Ranking)
@@hofnarrtheclown i mean its just an opinion its ok if you disagree… unless its on fred the greats placement, thats non negotiable
@@haydencampbell2197 Opinion Yes! but that Doesn't have to Mean that no Responses Agian shouldn't be Allowed, Especially if It's Well...Flawed.
@@sirruadhri3316 no problem thanks for replying of course my ranking is not meant to “debunk” yours but simply provide a different perspective 😁

John Sigismund is way too high. Hes honestly the worst.
His ranking was based on his rule as Duke of Prussia and not as Elector of Brandenburg so I was limited in what I could factor into his ranking
John Sigismund was a Ok Grand Duke, we Can't just call Him a Terrible Monarch because of the Very Short Reign.
@hofnarrtheclown His regency from 1611 to 1618 is what I based alot of his ranking on

You sadly believe in the British Propaganda about Willhelm II.
I made my ranking based on the facts of his reign which date back to before WW1
I would Say he Believes in Entente-Influenced Info not Directly to the Propaganda since he didn't Label the Kaiser as a Warlord who Wanted the War to Happen
@@sirruadhri3316The Propaganda Does Include Wilhelm II's Reign isn't that Obvious
