Frankenstein was written during this time. The volcano Mt. Tambora in Indonesia erupted in April 1815. It was the biggest eruption we've known in recorded history. It caused tremendous climate changes across the world which resulted in a lot of lost lives and other catastrophes. It enveloped much of the world in dark clouded skies. Hence 1816 was known as "the year without a summer". This was the same year when Mary Shelley, her husband Percy Bysshe Shelley, and others went to visit their mutual friend Lord Byron in Geneva, Switzerland in the summer of 1816. Since the skies were perpetually overcast, and the friends were mostly indoors in any case, Lord Byron challenged everyone to write the scariest story. Hence Frankenstein was born (along with other works including arguably the first vampire story, a precursor and an inspiration for Dracula). Edit: Several people brought up the good point that there are older vampire stories. So, in all good will, perhaps I can amend "arguably the first vampire story" instead to say something else like "arguably the first popular modern vampire story in English literature". Hopefully that's a little bit better at least, even if still imperfect.
There was another big volcano eruption that happened in 1808 that helped paved the 1810's decade as one of the coldest decades in human recorded history.

I think that it’s a little misrepresented to fit the themes of this episode. While a diplomatic coup for Britian, it wasn’t as if the US was duped into creating the Monroe Doctrine. It’s largely outside of the purview of the video, but the Monroe Doctrine was extremely useful to the US once they gained the ability to enforce it and exploit it post-Civil War.
@@damagicgiraffe5412 I agree the Munroe Doctrine had major effects for the entire western hemisphere movie forward, but it was never pointed out (at least to me) how much it helped Britain.
I feel like he explains it perfectly in this video why Monroe was so great for America. With the Spanish colonial countries just being born this was the time to strike, but America lacked the strength to enforce this doctrine. Instead the British supported it in its infancy, backing America’s promise while the US reaped all the political benefits which simply couldn’t be given to a colonial power such as Britain. I’m sure Britain got a lot out of it, but the norms this doctrine created would benefit American foreign policy for centuries
The funny thing to me was realizing how both canning and adams probably walked away from this thinking they'd put one over their counterpart. I'm also starting to wonder if this is where the "special relationship" started.
Here's the thing arguably the little ice age is what caused the disenchantment and anger at the Ancién Regime that led to the French Revolution. The fact that the crises that produced the Revolution intensified after they thought they had a working settlement immediately threw a wrench in the works.
@a_little_flame589 Where in God's name did you hear that? There are those who argue that what got us out of it was the beginning of climate change due to industrialization. It didn't end until the 19th century. See Extra History for evidence that I'm not the only historian or climatologist, amateur, or otherwise, that thinks of the Era as lasting beyond then. Also, there are those who assert it began right before the plague. Your "definition" is not as widely adopted as you think.

I have watched every single one of your videos atleast 5 times over, i recommend this channel to anyone i can who wants to know more about history. Thank you for you time and effort in making these videos, they have made a major impact on my life and worldview. Thank you so much and if im ever not poor the first thing i will do is become a member to your channel/patron.
When you mentioned about Castlereigh ending his own life I had to pause and read more into that. I knew nothing about him beyond what I'd learned in your excellent Congress of Vienna videos, and was surprised to learn that despite being one of the key figures behind the century of relative peace between 1815 and 1914, he was a deeply unpopular figure in his own lifetime. I think the best part was reading the epitaph that Lord Byron wrote for him, it's brutal. Posterity will ne'er survey A nobler grave than this: Here lie the bones of Castlereagh: Stop, traveller, and piss.
Castlereagh was suffering from extremely poor mental health in the last few years of his life and possibly developed psychotic depression, not helped by the death of his father and the constant media harassment. He began losing his ability to speak coherently in Parliament, developed paranoid delusions about his servants, and told his friends he was being blackmailed for performing homosexual acts. The Duke of Wellington basically had to drag him into a room and tell him bluntly that he was too mentally unwell to continue in his job and sent him back to his wife in the country, where he took his life shortly afterwards.
New countries were formed and slavery was becoming abolished in these countries. Hats off to the hispanic people as being the first major ethnic group in the world trying and getting slavery banned in modern times. El Salvador abolished slavery in 1825 becoming only the 3rd country in the Americas to banned slavery after Haiti and Chile.
My wife refers to this channel as "little squares guy." She'll overhear me watching a video instead of doing something more productive and responsible and go "What, are you watching Little Squares Guy again?!?" Because I was in bed one night watching the death of Caesar video with my headphones on while she read a book next to me. Something about the way the video described how Caesar was stabbed in the dick just made me feel queasy; like all the blood was draining from my head (I kind of have a blood phobia). I got up out of bed thinking I was going to throw up and collapsed on the floor, sort of passing out, much to my wife's alarm. When she asked me in a panic what was happening/what had just happened, all I could say was, I shit you not: "I was watching...little squares video.....Caesar got stabbed in the dick." Of course she thought I had watched something super graphic but when I was able to recompose myself and further explain what happened I showed her that I was literally just watching little narrated color squares jumping around. So....yeah. She thinks I'm insane. Thanks for vids dude!
18:11 That constitution wasn't impose by Napoleon, but rather by a liberal assembly in Cadiz with the objective of restoring the Spanish king under a more liberal regime. After the defeat of Napoleon, Ferdinand VII returned to Spain but rejected the constitution just as the video says.
Indeed, it never sounded right that the Spanish would rejoice of Spanish Bonapartist reforms. Truly this episode of Spanish history forever scars the empire and nation together, for a very long long time
And when he fakingly accepted it, it was because there was a mutiny, of the army that was supposed to go recover Argentina. Also, that mutiny succeeding and Ferdinand saying that he would accept all those liberal things is what led to the de actual independence of Mexico and central America, as up until then the rebels there had been kept under control but the elites were very conservative and joined them.
I didn't know much about 19th century spanish history, always found it confusing. But I was disappointed to hear that Ferdinand VII was so absolutist, I had no idea. It's a shame since he was Spain's future hope for a better future when the Spanish fought so hard against the French in his name and instead after the war is over Ferdinand seems to end up the exact path as Carlos IV and wants to destroy himself. Also a big shame for Spanish people and their pride getting such bad kings two times in a row.
@@Iason29 If Ferdinand hadn't been an ""absolutist"", the war against Napeleon would have been meaningless. In the eyes of the people it would have been +5 years of war and destruction only to change the name of the ruler but accepting all the principles it had brought, looking at traditicional anthems and songs of the time show the general rejection of liberalism, not just in Spain, also in Italy for example. Moreover, after Ferdinand death a civil war started in Spain called 1º Carlist War between the daughter of Ferdinand which ally with the liberals, and the other side constituited of lower aristocracy(the high aristocracy sided with the liberals on the mayority...) and the peasants . The war was won by the liberals because Britain sided with them. P.D: The side that lost the war were called "carlist" and they exist till this day and represent the traditionalist ideas. They are a very vast and complex movement
“ power doesn’t corrupt it reveals” that right there was a powerful moment, for me. It’s in contrast to what I’ve always believed, but it makes sense. this is why I love this channel and you.
The corrupts in power were corrupts before power, of course it makes a lot of sense!. A bad person (corrupted) can't show off when is not in power, is only in power whe reveals to everyone the true nature of himself I don't know why power corrupt people is so wide accepted though
@@JP-xd6fm Exactly I’m guilty of saying power corrupts almost daily but I never sat down to examine what those words meant. It was refreshing to hear and your comment is justice refreshing
@@JP-xd6fm Corruption within power structures is accepted because everyone _expects_ powerful people to be corrupt. We don't expect better, so we aren't surprised when powerful people abuse their power and don't demand better - "Who cares if we get rid of this guy? The next guy will be just as corrupt anyway." People have become more and more cynical about politics over the last 20 years, which is understandable but the problem is if we don't expect better we won't _get_ better. Political systems are a reflection of the people that live under them.
@@rdrrr I agree, for example I'm from south europe, corruption is whithin the day to day of the people here, and I had the chance to live in Denmark, one of the countries with less corruption and you can clearly see the difference in the streets, for instance, in the gas stations they dont have chained the pump for putting air on the tires, in my country they have to put a chain to a bloody pen.... It's all about civism and trust.

@@TaliyahP I think at least an episode talking about how Augustus consolidated his eventual power and turned himself into a practically monarch, legally, well, merely the first citizen is necessary
You know the eruption of Laki was a major factor of the French revolution too, and I sometimes see people talk about it, but almost never from the Icelandic perspective, where the "Hardship of Fogs" killed 1 out of every 5 Icelanders and 75% of livestock through noxious gas and ash that blocked out the sun and poisoned livestock, along with accounts of people being trapped by lava flows and farmland lost under vast new lava fields. These things are especially close to us now as volcanic activity is near constant near the capital in the last couple of years and the town of Grindavík had to be evacuated in its entirety this year.
Yes laki was a significant eruption, not an explosive plinian eruption like tambora but a massive effusion eruption, far larger than what Iceland has seen recently. You're right the gases released devastated Iceland and harmed agriculture on the continent. I've heard historians blame the French revolution on both the debt from supporting America and the food problems from lakis eruption
my brain is slowly getting fried by short videos over the years but when i see a video of yours it could last 24 hours and i wouldn't even notice, great job man

Historia Civilis : Canning was a conservative *goes on to describe a liberal man who probably just wandered into the wrong party convention and is now too scared/in deep to leave*
He was fairly conservative about Parliamentary reform IIRC which at least up until the 1832 Reform Act was one of the main dividing lines between the Whigs and the Tories. Not sure where he stood on other domestic issues like the Corn Laws and Catholic Emancipation off the top of my head.

He got pretty political with his "Work" video. Very Marxist, which is fine, but definitely biased. He completely ignored any economic data that shows the productivity of workers and GDP/capita rising, as well as technological innovation that made working in a nice comfy office with lots of coffee and padded seats WAYYYYYYYYY more luxurious than toiling in a field breaking your back and getting skin cancer from constant sun exposure and lack of sunscreen

17:49 - I think there is a significant misrepresentation of Spanish political life. Spanish liberalism grew IN OPPOSITION to Napoleon, and the actual liberal constitution that king Ferdinand betrayed was not the Napoleonic Bayonne Statute for 1808 (which is not considered a constitution by historians and was barely applied), but rather the 1812 Constitution, approved in Cadiz while the city was under siege by the Napoleonic army, so not quite the liberal saviours they are made to sound like. As a matter of fact, that idea that Spain was backwards and Napoleon came to paternalistically take it out of the Dark Ages was precisely Napoleon´s own supremacist and misinformed notion, which he had his propaganda machine attempt to spread in Spain, when in reality Spanish liberalism pre-dates the Napoleonic invasion. Not uncoincidentally, the Spanish word "liberal" became internationally widespread to define the movement, and the whigh liberal faction came to name itself so after Spanish liberal influence. That the Napolenic Bayonne Statute of 1808 imposed a system closer to an 18th century Ancienne Regime enligthened authoritarian monarchy with very minor reforms that were nevertheless barely applied due to the war. It goes without saying that "the people loved it" is a rather misplaced comentary. The true, revolutionary, liberal constitution was that of 1812, which was the third modern constitution after the American and the French, and was regarded as revolutionary in Europe. I imagine you are actually unconsciously referring to the 1812 Constitution yourself, because the Bayonne Statute did not grant universal male suffrage, and the 1812 fits the historical events you are describing (Ferdinand VII, the Three Liberal Years of 1820-23, etc).
So, your statement also misrepresents Spanish political life a little. Don't get me wrong, History civilis is wrong as well but Spanish liberalism did not grow in opposition to Napoleon, though I know why you say that, it grew because the conservative elements were not represented. For example in the cortes of cadiz. Virtually no conservative factions were present. The church was oppressed, the nobles were either out fighting, fled the country or were otherwise captured. When the 1812 constitution was being written, the goal was not to make a revolutionary document, i mean, in the actual document they affirm that the Roman Catholic church would be the national church, not a very revolutionary statement right there. It did, however, end up being much more revolutionary than originally intended, due to the liberal factions also being supported and promoted by the British since the conservative factions were butting heads with the British military presence and distrusted the British. The cortes of cadiz then had liberals over-represented. Every country had a liberal faction there was not a single country that did not, but the Napoleonic presence did indeed help spark the Spanish liberal movement, not necessarily in support of Napoleon but not in opposition either but because they were really the only faction that could gather that was actually around to make decisions. Were their liberals that opposed Napoleon? Yes, were their liberals that supported Napoleon? Also yes. The majority of liberals saw Napoleon as a despot, tyrant, and hypocrite, but they did appreciate the true liberal politicians and thinkers that Napoleon had working for him. Even those who hated Napoleon found his invasion of Spain as a great way to influence change!...the problem was that the Bayonne Statute was not the same type of document that the italians, or the dutch got it offended both conservatives and liberals alike. The next problem is that Many spanish liberals did support French revolutionary ideas and some even liked Napoleon but his actions and the insult it was to national identity as well as the farce that was the Bayonne statute led to a somewhat united opposition. After the war is where people were conflating Spanish liberals with supporters of bonaparte when they were more supporters of French revolutionary idealism, yet the Spanish conservatives did not see a difference between the two.
I'm not sure the US lost as much as Canning thought to Britain signing onto the Monroe doctrine. By doing so, Britain effectively promised not to carry out any colonial expansion into territories it did not already claim, and if it did so, the other great powers were likely to be perturbed by Britain claiming colonies it had excluded them from, meaning the US would likely have their support against Britain. This let the US be extra sure that Britain would not move into the American West, which, so soon after the War of 1812, was probably as much on Americans' minds as anything.
Britain ONLY morphed from Open colonialism into a clandestine version. The "freedom & Liberty" was NO MORE than Veneer, a narrative & a means to fool the Proletariat into conforming.
War of 1812 PROVES IT.. Britain came in to solely destroy the (REAL) original 13th amendment (No esquires or nobility to hold public office) thus; keep the veiled power structures in PLACE and on schedule.
I feel like The US involvement in the Monroe Doctrine is being slightly undervalued. It wasn't an accident that the Monroe Doctrine exclusively blocked future European colonialism in the Americas, whilst at the same time leaving the door open for 1. The US to exert colonial influence over the Americas, and 2. Allowing existing European colonies in the Americas (mostly British at this point). It basically locked the door behind the Americans and British, allowing America to exploit future opportunities and Britain to maintain current operations. So it wasn't exactly a free coup for the British, as they had to allow America to use the Monroe Doctrine in their own favor.
Agreed, it seems he narrates it in a manner that the British pulled a fast one on the United States. Canning wanted the U.S. to issue a joint declaration with Britain since both nations had similar concerns (and objectives) regarding colonization. President James Monroe, former presidents James Madison and Thomas Jefferson were all receptive to the idea, but SecState John Quincy Adams was against a joint declaration, so Monroe ended up unilaterally issued the Monroe Doctrine. Of course in reality the U.S. was in no position to uphold the doctrine, thus relying mostly on British naval power for enforcement, but post Civil War would change that.
@@DiamondKingStudios Yes. We shouldn't infer that Canning tricked USA even if that's what Canning said. It was more a coincidence of interests. DC liked the new republics and The Brits wanted meddling continentals confined to their own continent.

Historia Civilis has to be one of the best educational channels on TH-cam. My own history professor occasionally has us watch some of these videos in our Roman history course as a take home learning piece. Fantastic to learn more about 1800’s European Politics!
This 43-minute history lesson is outstanding-- incredibly well-done. I found myself watching the whole thing without oausing for breath. As a history minor, I finally had an explanation and rough outline of 19th century European politics. All my previous studies had made little effort to show interaction on a broad scale, so we learned of Garibaldi, for example, but without much context. This is priceless as a series, and I hope i can watch all of it. Of course, i subscribed.
I'm so hyped for this! All of your 19th century videos have been fantastic (well so are all of the Roman ones too but I love the diversity)! the workday can't end soon enough
this is the best history channel out there in that it actually brings be back to university and makes me feel like i’m listening to a talented lecturer. you’re a genuine historian, not someone who just vomits out facts and info, but someone who provides analysis and seeks to answer the why. i would love to attend your class and open debate with you and fellow students
well worth the wait, this guy dives deeper into history than any youtube channel and engages you just based on whats going on and how the pieces of history interconnect. as a yank, i would love to hear more about the americans expanding role in geopolitics as their presence on the international stage increases.
Canning is the rare type of conservative that I like. The fact that he wasn’t adamantly colonialist, was pro peace, abolitionist and supported liberal regimes above absolutism speaks highly of him
Part 2, part 2!!! Pleeeeze. Brilliantly composed and explained for a crazy complicated period. I just rediscovered this Chanel from way back and so glad I did.

Hopefully that's a little bit better at least, even if still imperfect.

With the Spanish colonial countries just being born this was the time to strike, but America lacked the strength to enforce this doctrine. Instead the British supported it in its infancy, backing America’s promise while the US reaped all the political benefits which simply couldn’t be given to a colonial power such as Britain. I’m sure Britain got a lot out of it, but the norms this doctrine created would benefit American foreign policy for centuries
The funny thing to me was realizing how both canning and adams probably walked away from this thinking they'd put one over their counterpart. I'm also starting to wonder if this is where the "special relationship" started.
You mean the July Revolution in 1830?
Lured us in with the hardships of the year without summer and all we got was a great video about post napoleonic Europe
Here's the thing arguably the little ice age is what caused the disenchantment and anger at the Ancién Regime that led to the French Revolution. The fact that the crises that produced the Revolution intensified after they thought they had a working settlement immediately threw a wrench in the works.

It didn't end until the 19th century. See Extra History for evidence that I'm not the only historian or climatologist, amateur, or otherwise, that thinks of the Era as lasting beyond then.

When you mentioned about Castlereigh ending his own life I had to pause and read more into that. I knew nothing about him beyond what I'd learned in your excellent Congress of Vienna videos, and was surprised to learn that despite being one of the key figures behind the century of relative peace between 1815 and 1914, he was a deeply unpopular figure in his own lifetime. I think the best part was reading the epitaph that Lord Byron wrote for him, it's brutal.
Posterity will ne'er survey
A nobler grave than this:
Here lie the bones of Castlereagh:
Stop, traveller, and piss.

@@luispanaderoguardeno3306 Come visit in 10 years. I will take you on a pissing tour.
Debuya, Cheney, Rumsfield, Wolfowitz... and for kicks DJT.
Castlereagh was suffering from extremely poor mental health in the last few years of his life and possibly developed psychotic depression, not helped by the death of his father and the constant media harassment. He began losing his ability to speak coherently in Parliament, developed paranoid delusions about his servants, and told his friends he was being blackmailed for performing homosexual acts. The Duke of Wellington basically had to drag him into a room and tell him bluntly that he was too mentally unwell to continue in his job and sent him back to his wife in the country, where he took his life shortly afterwards.

My wife refers to this channel as "little squares guy." She'll overhear me watching a video instead of doing something more productive and responsible and go "What, are you watching Little Squares Guy again?!?"
Because I was in bed one night watching the death of Caesar video with my headphones on while she read a book next to me. Something about the way the video described how Caesar was stabbed in the dick just made me feel queasy; like all the blood was draining from my head (I kind of have a blood phobia). I got up out of bed thinking I was going to throw up and collapsed on the floor, sort of passing out, much to my wife's alarm. When she asked me in a panic what was happening/what had just happened, all I could say was, I shit you not:
"I was watching...little squares video.....Caesar got stabbed in the dick." Of course she thought I had watched something super graphic but when I was able to recompose myself and further explain what happened I showed her that I was literally just watching little narrated color squares jumping around. So....yeah. She thinks I'm insane.
Thanks for vids dude!
18:11 That constitution wasn't impose by Napoleon, but rather by a liberal assembly in Cadiz with the objective of restoring the Spanish king under a more liberal regime. After the defeat of Napoleon, Ferdinand VII returned to Spain but rejected the constitution just as the video says.
Indeed, it never sounded right that the Spanish would rejoice of Spanish Bonapartist reforms.
Truly this episode of Spanish history forever scars the empire and nation together, for a very long long time
And when he fakingly accepted it, it was because there was a mutiny, of the army that was supposed to go recover Argentina.
Also, that mutiny succeeding and Ferdinand saying that he would accept all those liberal things is what led to the de actual independence of Mexico and central America, as up until then the rebels there had been kept under control but the elites were very conservative and joined them.
I didn't know much about 19th century spanish history, always found it confusing. But I was disappointed to hear that Ferdinand VII was so absolutist, I had no idea. It's a shame since he was Spain's future hope for a better future when the Spanish fought so hard against the French in his name and instead after the war is over Ferdinand seems to end up the exact path as Carlos IV and wants to destroy himself. Also a big shame for Spanish people and their pride getting such bad kings two times in a row.
@@Iason29 For that reason Fernando VII was called "El deseado" (), and later was really hated by spaniars
@@Iason29 If Ferdinand hadn't been an ""absolutist"", the war against Napeleon would have been meaningless. In the eyes of the people it would have been +5 years of war and destruction only to change the name of the ruler but accepting all the principles it had brought, looking at traditicional anthems and songs of the time show the general rejection of liberalism, not just in Spain, also in Italy for example. Moreover, after Ferdinand death a civil war started in Spain called 1º Carlist War between the daughter of Ferdinand which ally with the liberals, and the other side constituited of lower aristocracy(the high aristocracy sided with the liberals on the mayority...) and the peasants . The war was won by the liberals because Britain sided with them.
P.D: The side that lost the war were called "carlist" and they exist till this day and represent the traditionalist ideas. They are a very vast and complex movement
“ power doesn’t corrupt it reveals” that right there was a powerful moment, for me. It’s in contrast to what I’ve always believed, but it makes sense. this is why I love this channel and you.
The corrupts in power were corrupts before power, of course it makes a lot of sense!. A bad person (corrupted) can't show off when is not in power, is only in power whe reveals to everyone the true nature of himself
I don't know why power corrupt people is so wide accepted though
@@JP-xd6fm Exactly I’m guilty of saying power corrupts almost daily but I never sat down to examine what those words meant. It was refreshing to hear and your comment is justice refreshing
Yup and corrupt people seek power, good people usually feel unworthy. So you end up more and more corrupt over time until revolution or collapse
@@JP-xd6fm Corruption within power structures is accepted because everyone _expects_ powerful people to be corrupt. We don't expect better, so we aren't surprised when powerful people abuse their power and don't demand better - "Who cares if we get rid of this guy? The next guy will be just as corrupt anyway."
People have become more and more cynical about politics over the last 20 years, which is understandable but the problem is if we don't expect better we won't _get_ better. Political systems are a reflection of the people that live under them.
@@rdrrr I agree, for example I'm from south europe, corruption is whithin the day to day of the people here, and I had the chance to live in Denmark, one of the countries with less corruption and you can clearly see the difference in the streets, for instance, in the gas stations they dont have chained the pump for putting air on the tires, in my country they have to put a chain to a bloody pen....

You know the eruption of Laki was a major factor of the French revolution too, and I sometimes see people talk about it, but almost never from the Icelandic perspective, where the "Hardship of Fogs" killed 1 out of every 5 Icelanders and 75% of livestock through noxious gas and ash that blocked out the sun and poisoned livestock, along with accounts of people being trapped by lava flows and farmland lost under vast new lava fields. These things are especially close to us now as volcanic activity is near constant near the capital in the last couple of years and the town of Grindavík had to be evacuated in its entirety this year.
there's like 5 people in iceland
Yes laki was a significant eruption, not an explosive plinian eruption like tambora but a massive effusion eruption, far larger than what Iceland has seen recently. You're right the gases released devastated Iceland and harmed agriculture on the continent.

Historia Civilis : Canning was a conservative
*goes on to describe a liberal man who probably just wandered into the wrong party convention and is now too scared/in deep to leave*
Just like a Republican who doesn't realize their entire party is based on white supremacy.
He was fairly conservative about Parliamentary reform IIRC which at least up until the 1832 Reform Act was one of the main dividing lines between the Whigs and the Tories. Not sure where he stood on other domestic issues like the Corn Laws and Catholic Emancipation off the top of my head.

A little correction: Ferdinand VII didn't abolish the "Napoleon impose constitution". He abolish "La Pepa", it was constitution of our own making.
17:49 - I think there is a significant misrepresentation of Spanish political life. Spanish liberalism grew IN OPPOSITION to Napoleon, and the actual liberal constitution that king Ferdinand betrayed was not the Napoleonic Bayonne Statute for 1808 (which is not considered a constitution by historians and was barely applied), but rather the 1812 Constitution, approved in Cadiz while the city was under siege by the Napoleonic army, so not quite the liberal saviours they are made to sound like.
As a matter of fact, that idea that Spain was backwards and Napoleon came to paternalistically take it out of the Dark Ages was precisely Napoleon´s own supremacist and misinformed notion, which he had his propaganda machine attempt to spread in Spain, when in reality Spanish liberalism pre-dates the Napoleonic invasion. Not uncoincidentally, the Spanish word "liberal" became internationally widespread to define the movement, and the whigh liberal faction came to name itself so after Spanish liberal influence.
That the Napolenic Bayonne Statute of 1808 imposed a system closer to an 18th century Ancienne Regime enligthened authoritarian monarchy with very minor reforms that were nevertheless barely applied due to the war.
It goes without saying that "the people loved it" is a rather misplaced comentary.
The true, revolutionary, liberal constitution was that of 1812, which was the third modern constitution after the American and the French, and was regarded as revolutionary in Europe.
I imagine you are actually unconsciously referring to the 1812 Constitution yourself, because the Bayonne Statute did not grant universal male suffrage, and the 1812 fits the historical events you are describing (Ferdinand VII, the Three Liberal Years of 1820-23, etc).
So, your statement also misrepresents Spanish political life a little. Don't get me wrong, History civilis is wrong as well but Spanish liberalism did not grow in opposition to Napoleon, though I know why you say that, it grew because the conservative elements were not represented. For example in the cortes of cadiz. Virtually no conservative factions were present. The church was oppressed, the nobles were either out fighting, fled the country or were otherwise captured. When the 1812 constitution was being written, the goal was not to make a revolutionary document, i mean, in the actual document they affirm that the Roman Catholic church would be the national church, not a very revolutionary statement right there. It did, however, end up being much more revolutionary than originally intended, due to the liberal factions also being supported and promoted by the British since the conservative factions were butting heads with the British military presence and distrusted the British. The cortes of cadiz then had liberals over-represented.
Every country had a liberal faction there was not a single country that did not, but the Napoleonic presence did indeed help spark the Spanish liberal movement, not necessarily in support of Napoleon but not in opposition either but because they were really the only faction that could gather that was actually around to make decisions. Were their liberals that opposed Napoleon? Yes, were their liberals that supported Napoleon? Also yes. The majority of liberals saw Napoleon as a despot, tyrant, and hypocrite, but they did appreciate the true liberal politicians and thinkers that Napoleon had working for him. Even those who hated Napoleon found his invasion of Spain as a great way to influence change!...the problem was that the Bayonne Statute was not the same type of document that the italians, or the dutch got it offended both conservatives and liberals alike. The next problem is that Many spanish liberals did support French revolutionary ideas and some even liked Napoleon but his actions and the insult it was to national identity as well as the farce that was the Bayonne statute led to a somewhat united opposition. After the war is where people were conflating Spanish liberals with supporters of bonaparte when they were more supporters of French revolutionary idealism, yet the Spanish conservatives did not see a difference between the two.
WHY ARE THESE SO GOOOOOOOOD!!! We need a weekly dose of these videos
Definitely my favorite non-Caesar series on the channel. So glad you're continuing it!
I'm not sure the US lost as much as Canning thought to Britain signing onto the Monroe doctrine. By doing so, Britain effectively promised not to carry out any colonial expansion into territories it did not already claim, and if it did so, the other great powers were likely to be perturbed by Britain claiming colonies it had excluded them from, meaning the US would likely have their support against Britain. This let the US be extra sure that Britain would not move into the American West, which, so soon after the War of 1812, was probably as much on Americans' minds as anything.
Britain ONLY morphed from Open colonialism into a clandestine version. The "freedom & Liberty" was NO MORE than Veneer, a narrative & a means to fool the Proletariat into conforming.
War of 1812 PROVES IT..
Britain came in to solely destroy the (REAL) original 13th amendment (No esquires or nobility to hold public office) thus; keep the veiled power structures in PLACE and on schedule.
Before War of 1812 the "USA" was on par to make German the nations official language.
Maps with "New Prussia" across the east of Mississippi.
@@jamy8575 That's a myth.
this was true of michigan, but not the whole country
I feel like The US involvement in the Monroe Doctrine is being slightly undervalued. It wasn't an accident that the Monroe Doctrine exclusively blocked future European colonialism in the Americas, whilst at the same time leaving the door open for 1. The US to exert colonial influence over the Americas, and 2. Allowing existing European colonies in the Americas (mostly British at this point). It basically locked the door behind the Americans and British, allowing America to exploit future opportunities and Britain to maintain current operations. So it wasn't exactly a free coup for the British, as they had to allow America to use the Monroe Doctrine in their own favor.
I feel that the effects for us Americans took a while to materialize, though, and that period of time is outside the video’s range.
But yeah “lol those Americans” like I’m any similar to my countrymen of that sort
Agreed, it seems he narrates it in a manner that the British pulled a fast one on the United States. Canning wanted the U.S. to issue a joint declaration with Britain since both nations had similar concerns (and objectives) regarding colonization. President James Monroe, former presidents James Madison and Thomas Jefferson were all receptive to the idea, but SecState John Quincy Adams was against a joint declaration, so Monroe ended up unilaterally issued the Monroe Doctrine.
Of course in reality the U.S. was in no position to uphold the doctrine, thus relying mostly on British naval power for enforcement, but post Civil War would change that.

watched it a few days ago and kept my entertained while i had the flu, thanks
I love this 19th century history bit. This is my favorite time of history to study.
After watching this to the end, I can safely say that this video was in fact not about meteorology.
Well thank you for making my Saturday night plans. Think I’ll rewatch your Congress of Vienna videos and then watch this one. Cheers
Hell yeah, sounds like fun. I'll bring the wine! :D
well worth the wait, this guy dives deeper into history than any youtube channel and engages you just based on whats going on and how the pieces of history interconnect. as a yank, i would love to hear more about the americans expanding role in geopolitics as their presence on the international stage increases.
Tribune Aquilla doesnt approve of this being something different to a Caesar video
Hasn't Caesar been assassinated a few videos back?
Imagine becoming a meme in 2000 years
Canning is the rare type of conservative that I like. The fact that he wasn’t adamantly colonialist, was pro peace, abolitionist and supported liberal regimes above absolutism speaks highly of him
I love this series! Keep it up! Greetings from Argentina 🎉
What did we miss? Too busy enjoying a good ol hotdog. Hotdog is my favorite food
Excellent stuff as always
Part 2, part 2!!! Pleeeeze. Brilliantly composed and explained for a crazy complicated period. I just rediscovered this Chanel from way back and so glad I did.
