7:48 "The Spanish empire takes a negative view of British domination, Spain then goes to war with France." Yeah well that makes sense
'With' as in alongside
Confused me at first
Yes Britain is dominating so Spain wants to dominate around Britain
That makes no sense, you take a negative view of the enemy of your allie, then declare war on your former ally, awkward
Between Britain Spain and France there all trying to take over and manipulate one another at the end the British won and here comes America
Austria: "Good job Russia, we are almost in Berlin. Let's finish the conquest and eradicate Prussia once and for all!"
Russia: "You know what? I'm a big admirer of Prussia, I think I just take my army and go home."
Austria: "Yo what...?"
Even worse he tried to join forces with the prussians however he was soon overthrowed and his wife took over and went home with the army
Austria: "Come on, we're so close to our destination we can't stop now!"
Russia: "It wasn't about reaching Berlin, it was about the friends we made along the way"
Russia and Austria were rival, as were Austria and France which is why their alliance went so pear shaped, they were only on the same side due to fleeting circumstances, not due to strategic alignment.
In contrast Britain was interested in colonies and trade which Prussia was no competitor in while Prussia protected Hanover and received Britain's support and money as well protection of her western border in exchange.
Tsarina Elizabeth hated Prussia and wanted to destroy it. Even their backward army could overrun Prussia by shear numbers. However she was of poor health. Her son and heir admired Prussia and wanted to align with it. This places any Russian General in a quandary. He would have his orders against Prussia from the Tsarina. However he knew that his future Tsar and ruler would be horrified if he succeeded. Hence after defeating the Prussian army, the General made an excuse to withdraw rather than march on Berlin. He claimed he had a logistics problem. Purely self preservation.
France also had conflicting strategies. There was the public/official policy and strategy in the interest of France. Then there was the King's secret policy and strategy which was in the interests of his own family. These were sometimes in conflict and undermining each other.
Also the British people couldn't have cared less about Hanover. The reason Britain was so deeply involved on the continent, paying mercenaries, was not just colonial rivalry with France. It was that the King of Hanover was made the King of England. So that aspect of British aggression was just the King using Britain's resources for his personal war to protect his personal Kingdom of Hanover.
What was going on in Europe is that a few often related nobility were still playing middle age feudal power games for their own egos but in an era of muskets and cannons. Hence 1.3 million dead for quite petty reasons. Sadly this lesson was not learnt and the same outdated and failed thinking continued through the Napoleonic era, and resulted in World War I.
The only good thing about it, is that all the competition over so many decades resulted in technical, scientific and engineering advancement.
Kalyka 98 and Catherine The Great is from Prussia, continued the alliance and attacked the Commonwealth together

6:04 France plans to invade Britain
Britain: how many times do we need to teach you this lesson, old man.
I mean that applies to England/Britain as well. They have tried to invade France many times, even alongside other major powers and almost always failed. The only successful invasion of France by Britain was at the end of the Napoleonic Wars when all the powers of the coalition did.

probably it was more world war then the two world wars
I think cause it only involved one continent mainly lol
@@lezanji1884 nope its more world war than ww 1 but not for ww 2
@@Black-Sun_Kaiser Ww 1 also focused on europe
The territories within the HRE weren't all ruled by Prince electors. They were ruled by various nobles and monarchs with titles such as count or Duke, all collectively known as "Princes".
Indeed, the only prince electors were the seven electors of the Holy Roman Empire
SUMMON THE ELECTOR COUNTS
Among these princes also were high ranking members of the clergy, since they controlled large territories around the city they were seated in.
@@thewizzard3705 Indeed one of the Electors is the Elector of Cologne, which was a Bishoph
@@rossmabon4472 At the time of the seven years war their number had increased to 9 ! There were 9 electors at that time, or in effect 8 since the emperor in Vienna also had the electorship of the Crown of Bohemia in personal union.
Its just confusing when France and Britain fought each other than become allies than fought than become allies .. Its like having quarrels with your wife

Now this is what the relationship of Great Britain and France was like.
They wanted to tear each other's throats out.
But when someone else tries to tear one of their throats out, they suddenly become bffs.
Enderman_of_D00M I mean that makes sense you’re fighting someone ya hate but then someone you both hate comes at ya of course you’d sign a temporary truce to handle that threat first
@Alex Mercer Brits and French still wanna have a go at each other, but the modern era is all about no war so their okay with each other
More like putting aside a petty ancient rivalry to deal with present common enemies...
the enemy of MY SWORN ENEMY WHO I WILL DEFEAT AT ALL COSTS NO MATTER THE MANPOWER AND RESOURCES, I WILL LITERALLY BANKRUPT JUST TO SPITE THEM, is my friend.
Thats how the "the Balance of power" doctrine works
I consider the Seven Year's War (French and Indian Wars for Americans) as the FIRST True World War.
The Napoleonic Wars as the 2nd World War.
The Great War (WW1) as the Third World War.
The 2nd Great War (WW2) as the Fourth World War.
Because it simply makes sense to classify these wars like this because these all wars were fought on 5 to 7 continents not just one or two like the wars before them.
It's not about where they were fought, it's about how many nations were involved.
The Cold War is just World War 2.5
the American War of Independence was a World War of sorts: British, French, Dutch and Spanish navies going at it, Western North America a battle ground and there was a concurrent war against the British in India. Morocco, Prussia and Poland supported the rebellious colonies to some extant and the British employed Hessian mercenaries from Germany.
I would also consider the Napoleonic Wars to be more than one World War.
@Anglo-Celtic Mega Nationalist Well obviously if you think of just the 13 colonies, but there was also India, Florida, the Caribean, JP Jones's raids of coastal England, and a bunch of naval confrontations between the French and English all over the place. I guess that's not enough continents to really make it a world war, but it was still pretty big. (Though not many casualties). It was big enough that Britain felt the need to re-engineer all their warships in order to deal with so many threats.
Was really surprised when I realized how complicated this war was. In my schools growing up this climax of european history was dumbed down to "a war between britain and france".
School history is the dumbest way of seeing and teaching history
Our school never even mentioned this at all
Well, if you are going to have a basic summary, then that would be the most accurate one.. just look around you at the world, and most Conflict is a result of squabbling between those 2 powers, or because them messing around territories individually
The sick beats really capture the mood of the 18th century.
Really sets the vibe 😂😂😂
The War of Spanish Succession was also a world war with battles all over the World, a would be a fine vídeo as well. Great Work!
France didn't really truly decline until after the 7 Years War, sadly Armchair Historians rather shotty (yes, shotty) video on it isn't to be 100% trusted.@Alex Mercer
The Spanish succession was so so close to beeing won by France. That would have changed so much and probably would have fucked France up in the long run (most likely no revolution and corrupt monarchies for quite a bit longer).
And Napoleonic and the The War of The Great
@@nathanc939 that would have mean the union of france and spanish empire in one single state, holy god, the other kingdoms in europe were just terriorized about it coming true

@@DrewPicklesTheDark First of all, he was german, and admired Prussia. He inherited the throne of Russia because of some bizarre succession laws and prefered to speak german over russian if he could. The war was very costly for Russia and he loved Prussia so much that he fucking allied them and switched sides in the war as soon as he went into power. He was a generally unpopular leader who was overthrown by his wife (Cathernine the Great) soon after his reing started
He is not all that bad, however. His reputation has been ruined by his wife, buy some accounts say that he was actually fairly progressive for the time

That there was no point in preventing his reunification with his Father? I know I'm not answering your question as enloghtinly as you'd like but you can consider this some food for thought. "Jesus, are you stupid?", perhaps he'll tell you himself soon.

Imagine what could have happened to the Philippines if it was never returned to Spain by Great Britain.
Yu Gin Taer oof I’ve been thinking about that I think they would later become a British a Dominion and fight in ww2 and WW1
@@yugintaer2420 theynn be would have revolted lol
@This is a name. not really. Actually people south of Manila severely opposed any attempts of invasion by Britain, so for Britain to actually invade the Philippines successfully, they would have had to elongate the war more time, which although would have allowed them to seize control of Philippines, would have given Spain time to attack the Thirteen Colonies, and Maybe help France retake New France. Plus, the Portuguese would have probably been defeated by then by France and Spain, and had Britain sent more of their vessels to attack the Philippines, France would have been able to invade mainland Britain through the south.
@@yugintaer2420 imagine if britain gave back gibraltar to spain
French: *Have a stronger army than Britain*
Britain: Can’t use it until you cross the seas *has Royal Navy ships around the corner*
@Master Yoda can you make some sense?
The quality of the armies were close, but France had a much larger army simply because it is on the continent and had to maintain a large army to compete with other land powers such as Austria, Prussia and Russia. Britain however was at liberty to put a much larger amount of its military spending into the Royal Navy due to the fact of it being an Island nation which needs an extremely strong navy to survive. This meant though that france couldnt afford as large a Navy and therefore Britain had superiority at sea.
@Master Yoda its clear yes that you have no clue of what are you talking about
either way, britains army probably would have surpassed the french if they didn't spend the vast majority of their budget on ships
@@MemeMaster-gz7nk Absolutly not because Britain did not have the same population of France.
Fantastic work! Thanks for your effort, accuracy, and upload. This war should be studied and documented much more, as it a key to understanding the rest of the 18th century and hence, the foundations of modern history.

This actually sets a new perspective towards classical music for me - they are essentially Austrian/Holy Roman Empire music ; ) Wonder what the map of “Italy” is like when Barocco music peaks
"Great Britain" included the Kingdom of Ireland at this time - as the king of England was also the King of Ireland
Saint Just no the Kingdom of Ireland was a separate state under a personal union (two countries that have the same head of state without merging) Ireland would become a part of the UK in 1801
Also Ireland is not a kingdom. Wales is a principality. Scotland and England are kingdoms, which have the same monarch since the Scottish king inherited the English crown in 1603. His mother was Elizabeth's aunt, I think.
@@chrisdaniels3929 No its not a Kingdom now but the Kingdom of Ireland existed from 1542 when Henry VIII proclaimed himself King of Ireland until 1801 when Ireland became part of the UK.
During this period, the Elector of Hanover was King of Great Britain and Duke of Brunswick-Luneburg: he did not become King of Hanover until 1814, after the end of the Holy Roman Empire and the recovery of Hanover from the Napoleonic province of Westphalia.
The Kings of England and later Great Britain also pretended to be Kings of France.
Rulers subject to the Holy Roman Emperor could not be kings of territories within it (except for Bohemia), but they could be kings of countries outside the HRE: such as Britain, Spain, Sweden, Poland and Prussia.
Patriotic English historians tend to play down the influence of foreign powers on their country: Denmark, France, the Papacy, Scotland, Holland, the HRE and now the USA.
Well if your a country ball mapper just let ireland be British as we don't do anything in it
This was great man! Thanks for making it
Thanks for all of the info. New to me. I'll probably have to watch that in slow motion at least 10 times to get a grasp.
The British victory in this war was resulted from several factors:
the French monarchy heiress of Rome (in institutions) despised work. The French aristocrat attached little importance to :
- the emerging industry (despite Colbert);
- the colonial conquests that left to noble adventurers (Montcalm in Canada or Dupleix in India). Gradually in the 18th, the French aristocracy was declining (spend money on the pageantry, ruinous wars...)
The British elites, less influenced by Rome (anglo-saxons and Norman influences) were closer places of production. They managed their lands directly. This encouraged industrial development. The separation between the aristocracy and a mercantile bourgeoisie was less marked. The same is true in Holland and Germany. These are countries that have suffered less from the historical influence of Rome (Rome was ruled by the Slave Patricians).
France will finally embark on this path with the Revolution and the emergence of a new mercantile class. We know the rest... Otherwise, France would have a "Spanish destiny". The Spanish aristocracy was enriched only by the gold of South America. They didn't initiate an agrarian reform hallowing the industrial develoment.
The British victory in this war had 6 essential factors
1) England was a stormy island in 1588, 1596 and 1597. That is why the three Spanish invasion fleets with more than 130 ships could not occupy London in 4 weeks, destroying all the possibility of creating a British empire
2) United Kingdom was an island in 1756-63. This is why France and Spain couldn't invade the UK in 4 weeks
3) The United Kingdom was an island in 1776-1783. That is why Spain could only make a naval blockade of England, capturing two British fleets of 24 and 55 ships. The objective was to invade England, but the French allies considered that amphibious invasions, although the United Kingdom was weakened by the war of the 13 colonies, were very complicated.
4) The United Kingdom was an island in 1805. That is why Napoleon's million soldiers who invaded Russia, Germany, Spain, Austria and Italy had to wait for a complicated connection with Villenenueve's fleet, which ended in the Battle of Trafalgar.
5) The United Kingdom was an island in 1870. That is why the Prussian army that destroyed the French army in a month could not finish the job in the same offensive, reaching London and destroying the British empire.
6) The United Kingdom was an island in 1940. That is why the Germans wandered through Paris and Amsterdam, and could not continue to London, capturing the entire British royal family.
@@Gloriaimperial1 you serious? Being an island doesn’t guarantee protection and I don’t know why you are crediting everything to that.
The Royal Navy was the main factor, that’s it.
The natural protection of the water means nothing without the main force to protect it, France has many favourable natural borders but this does not mean that all their victories are simply down to the natural terrain.
I feel like you are trying to discredit the British military achievements and I’m not sure why, perhaps it’s jealousy which is really odd.
@@maxdavis7722 Germany is a very effective country. The Germans are the largest national mass of people in Western Europe, with nearly 100 million highly far-sighted and willful inhabitants. They have always been the largest nationality in Europe. They are tenacious, calculating and efficient, many times, and also aggressive. But not even the efficient Germans have been able to prevent Berlin from being occupied several times by Napoleon and Russia, or Germany by Spain, destroying Germany and dividing it. France has had the same problems: various invasions of Paris (Spanish Empire, Germany, Prussia, Russia). The Netherlands has been invaded numerous times. If you look at Asia the same thing happens. China, India, Vietnam, Korea... All invaded. Curiously, there are two large countries, in Europe and Asia, that have never been invaded in the modern era, by the largest empires (Spanish, French, German or Mongolian), which had a ratio of troops of 5 against 1, or 7 against 1 Troops that could not be used. There are two islands: the United Kingdom and Japan. I believe that the Spanish invasion of Paris was carried out in three months, in 1590. The German invasion of Paris was carried out in 1 month in 1870, and 1 month in 1944. Blitzkrieg. To attempt to invade England in 1588, 1596, 1597, and 1718, Spain had to leave most of its infantry, artillery, and horses on the ground. We had to make a fleet for a year (4 times), wait for favorable winds. Hope that some British ships did not harass the fleet. And when everything was ready for the invasion in 1597 (with the British fleet outwitted) another storm appears (four storms). Sure, when we invaded Germany in 1588, it rained every day and there were storms, but the army didn't scatter within 30 km for weeks and had to go home, with broken sails and some sunken ships. They got into their tents, and the next day they arrived in Colonia and invaded it.
On this island factor, the British were able to have an army of 40,000 infantrymen in the 18th century, when Spain and France had 200,000 and 400,000, dividing the budget. The British almost only had to invest in the fleet. If you also have the help of storms ... What makes you think that Churchill would have smoked a cigar, and made the bravado of him, if the Germans had a corridor of 1 km wide to reach England with the divisions panzer? All that material that almost reached Moscow, and three million soldiers, were rendered useless. If you have a border with Germany you are dead in 4 weeks. That the British could have done poorly, but with that advantage they were very effective? Yes. That England/UK, even if it had been invaded from land twice by a stronger empire, would also have developed a large army that would have entered Paris and Berlin or Madrid, at some point in history. Also. It's not normal for your economy and society to be intact for 500 years, while mainland Europe has all kinds of violent upheavals. It is normal if you are an island. Spain also had a lottery day, when it discovered America. That gave us gold and silver to dominate some countries in Europe for centuries. But we still had a land border for Napoleon.

@@kyle18934 which one
@@peivlo7801 the one this comment thread is talking about
I love you're videos They're so helpful to contextualize things! One small correction though: you said that Fredrick defeated the French though outnumbered because he was "a fine strategist". Technically it was because he was good tactician (though he was also a good strategist). "Tactics" refers to your pre-battle plans and your changes of plans in-battle. Your overall plan over the course of an entire campaign is "strategy" (your plan for the entire war is "grand strategy"). So in this case, Fredrick's strategy was to defeat the French, then counter-march back to defeat the Austrians. He used tactics to defeat the French though outnumbered and then he used tactics again to defeat the Austrians.
Also what about South America? Or the two years of Anglo-French warfare in North America prior to the Seven Years (which continued over the course of the Seven Years, as you said) Overall, though, it's still a good overview. The Seven Year's War is pretty complicated for the uninitiated and this is helpful. Good job

Super well done video!

Next do the Napoleonic Wars. Love the video btw.
your voice so sweet isn’t boring 💪🙏👏
This was excellent!! Thank you.
Damn I really love how the music fits really well
I like this channel. Great minds exist here.
7:55
Did you just cover the Fantastic War (Where an army of 8000 Portuguese and 7000 Britons successfully defeated an invasion of 20 000 Spaniards and 15 000 French, inflicting a whoping 30 000 casualties in the Franco-Spanish army while losing fewer than 1000 men, by using cleaver Scorched Earth tactics, raids and ambushes and completely cutting off the Franco-Spanish army from their supply lines, causing it to collapse under its own weight) in 5 seconds?
Also, did you just completely overlook the Brazilian and Uruguayan theatres?
Great video nicely done.
It's like the history/mapping community here on TH-cam actually get together and decide on what topic or war they're doing next. I swear I just watched The Armchair Historian's newest video on the Seven Years War a few days ago.
This was basically when Germany was a kid and France and Britain were more worried about each other than their future nemisis
2:25 do we have the same definition of surrounding? Because it really looks like the situation is inverted.
Down in OHIO
That's such an amazing explanation
lol
Excellent video brother
The first world war
World war 1: am i a joke to you
8:07 Damn, he pronounced Manila correctly
I just love the beats it SOO GOOD!
Most underrated channel on the Tube
splendid video! though its not called "the first world war", its in fact called "world war zero"
3:27 " *Deep throats the prince...* "
You have a great channel. Hope to see more videos soon
My Uncle fought in this war and he spoke of horrors nobody can even fathom of... It took forever to load your musket and you many perished from wood splinters!
0:27 Nitpicky correction: The HRE is ruled over by imperial princes. Not all of them were prince electors (there were only 7-10 of those).
We Europeans love a war dont we? 🇬🇧😜
Stop dragging us into wars
Lol we do like starting our own wars though 🇺🇸
@Daniel Marranghelli well, I mean...I did. There is an island on the east coast where its named after my grandfathers last name, and he can trace his roots back to a farm on the island.
Really cool video :D
Your pronunciation of French cities is pretty good, thanks and congrats
I think it's not considered WW1 since even though it takes place over multiple continents, it's still European powers fighting. WW1 was the first intercontinental war where alliances that spanned the world formed (Such as the Ottomans joining Germany, or Japanese joining the UK).
Sun King’s War, which is dated earlier than Seven Years War, also fought on several continents
2:30 Only in Ohio 💀💀💀
This is really helpful
Love your videoos!!
Fought a Seven Years' War, I ain't scared of a Tsar

"Take a seat"
France and Britain are like those 2 Hero and Anti-Hero in Anime. They fought each other alot until one day a common enemy show up and they are forced to work together to beat the shit out of it
Excellent!
