Fun facts about Otto Von Habsburg. He spoke German, Hungarian, Croatian, English, French, Spanish, Latin fluently as his mother taught him to as she believed that one day he would rule over many lands. He lived much of his childhood in Spain. Otto was a staunch opponent of Naziasm, communism, and nationalism and opposed the Anschluss. Because of this he was even sentenced to death by the Nazis for opposing them. He went into exile in the United States and he helped over 15.000 Austrians including thousands of Austrian Jewish people flee Nazi occupied Austria thus likely saving thousands of lives. He lived to the ripe old age of 98 years old dying in 2011 at 98 years old.
@@Komnenos83 Mayhaps because at the time the big nationalists on the block were the Nazis? Honestly, not all nationalism IS bad (though really, if you like democracy, it almost always is because it's a collectivist and monocultural mode of ideology.) I suppose that if your country is being colonized, it's almost vital - though I doubt how well it works out long term. You win, you get peace. People go off in groups. Groups can't agree on what their nation is. In comes more conflict, maybe even civil war. Cultural nationalism isn't QUITE so bad - but that's not really what we are referring to here. The real nasty stuff is state/govt nationalism. However, lets just say there are reasons beyond money and power for why globalism is more the norm now. I mean, the hypernationalist policy of the Japanese govt during WWII was a big part of the moral and ethical justifications for their many atrocities. That was the kind of nationalism Otto was seeing unfold. The nationalism he saw was "Yamato race" or "Jewish question." Just philosophically speaking, when a people's identity merges with that of their nation to a fitting level to be called 'nationalism' I don't see a way for people and nations carrying that nationalist identity to not eventually engage in racial or ethnic discrimination. To have nationalism, you need a fixed idea of what the country and its people are, and you need to hold that ideology to the greatest moral and ethical significance. And when you're Austria, a place with multiple distinct ethnic groups living in it, that's bad. Because eventually there may come a point where people start deciding other groups aren't true Austrians. That's really more what it was - Austria itself was multi-ethnic nation with different states. It was not a nationalist country. The real fear for the Habsburgs when it came to nationalism WITHIN Austria was of factions forming and states rebelling against the government and breaking their empire. Just think about it. Multiple states with different ethnic groups living in them, and all of the sudden they all have their own ideas about what their nation is and should be, what an Austrian is. What could go wrong when different ethnicities living in in directly neighboring states that all share a country start each developing their own idea of what the nation of Austria is and who its for? Never went atrociously ever in history, right?
The influence of bill wurtz is noticeable, and I actually like that. I'm glad someone is developing this kind of story telling style mixing crazy pictures, hilarious script and enjoyable plot. Keep up the good work!
Bill Wurtz with the average war crime enjoyer- I mean Paradox gamer mixed in I cannot appreciate old sound effects that have been burned into my mind over thousands of hours
Fun facts: Franz Grillparzer, a famous Austrian dramatist, wrote a play about the defeat of Ottakar by Rudolph I called Ottakars Glück und Ende (Ottakar's Fortune and End) telling the story of the birth of the House of Habsburg. Which made a sweet gift to the current Hapsburg Emperor Francis II. Also, Austria's productive use of marriage to increase the Hapsburg lands inspired a saying: "Bella gerant alii, tu felix Austria nube." 'Let others wage war: you, happy Austria, marry.'
To be honest, I've fought shy of studying the Habsburgs, as they seemed too complicated (not to mention their 'close relationships' to one another)). But you've laid them out brilliantly and clearly, nice piece of work. Love your style, and look forward to seeing more (college work permitting). Thanks.
The last ruler of Austria Hungary lies in a church on Madeira Island, Portugal. I visited his tomb multiple times. Such a modest end for one of the most influencial dinasties in human history. I felt i was watching history with my own eyes.
yeah cause india is very much influenced by the habsburg and so is china and the great people of uruguay. Take a seat. You're not the center of the world. @@hotman_pt_
Very entertaining with real funny animations! Just one detail, the 1640 crisis in Spain originated because Olivares wanted ALL territories to contribute with men and money to the war. Not only the Spanish territories (Castile, Aragón, etc.), also Portugal, Naples, Sicily, the Duchy of Milan, the Spanish Lowlands, the American territories, etc. This "Union of Arms" would've resulted in a significantly strong army and with sufficient resources, to defy the growing power of Louis XIV of France.
The Austrians actually abolished all royal titles after the first world war so technically speaking the family isn't "of Habsburg" but just "Habsburg" today.
Also, during the Reforma war in Mexico, one of the factions tried to create an empire and invited Maximilian of Habsburg to be the emperor of Mexico. But he lost the war and was executed.
footnote: It was hardly anticipated during the majority of Frederick's reign that his heirs would control the imperial succession for as long as they did. Following Ladislas Posthumus's death in 1457, the Bohemian and Hungarian kingdoms were lost to the Habsburgs for over 70 years; the Swiss borders, which had actually been lost since 1315 (see Switzerland: Expansion and Position of Power), were formally renounced in 1474.
This has got to be one of the most concise and informative history video's I've seen, I'm sure this channel will be very popular very fast ! very good work my friend and take my subscription
What a great video with superb animations - it was very, very entertaining. I, amongst others I presume, would love to see a similar video dedicated to the house of Bourbon - arguably the second foremost dynasty in all of European history.
Hehehe incredible. Today I have read an article about the genetic/hereditary component of Angle Class III Malocclusion and it mentioned about this family. Now a video about them popped up on my screen.🎉
People rarely understand the early HRE but you distuingishing between the King of the Germans without papal bless and Emperor of the Romans by being crowned by the pope is refreshing.
The only channel as of right now I have ever been highly tempted to sub to Patreon for. If I had some more cash I would definitely do the $100/month tier, you are gonna be huge after a couple more vids and the algo picks up on you dude. The mix of history and mix of VG, memes, and bill wurtz-esqe humor and noises will get you far very quickly. Stay dedicated and consistent, and you will be doing insanely well soon! :)
Adding some Lorraine into the line likely did wonders. At least compared to whatever the Habsburgs were doing with their constant uncle/niece and close cousin marriages.
Charles didn't exactly expand the Spanish possessions in the Americas, as more it was more the conquistadors doing it on their own, with Francisco Pizarro leading an expedition by himself to conquer the Incas without any real command from Ferdinand to conquer them. It would have been more accurate to say that Charles also oversaw the expansion of the Spanish colonial possessions in the video.
Viceroyalties* not colonies, the Spanish law (Leyes de Indias, Leyes de Burgos, Las Encomiendas, etc..) from the 16th century from both Isabella La Católica and Carlos I (or V) abolished slavery and discrimination to the natives and encouraged race mixing.
Dude, even if you don't see this. You got to make more videos, I would 100% watch 5-10 minute videos about a million different topics in this format, and many other would to.

Why would he oppose nationalism though

I don't know why but now I really need a "Meet the Habsburgs" sitcom in my life
You don't need to look far. Just look at the people who spam the Gigachad meme. Those wastes of space are the modern Hapsburg.
That would actually be cool. I wonder if you could shop the concept past ORF-2 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ORF_2 😁
