18th Century Warfare: Crash Course European History #20
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 มิ.ย. 2024
- European powers had a lot of wars in the 18th century, and they weren't confined to Europe. Conflict raged across the globe, in what might be called a World War...but we don't call it that, because we already have a couple of those coming up in the 20th century. Some call it the Great War for Empire, and some call it a bunch of separate wars, but in any case, all this conflict was important, and you're going to learn all about it right now.

"Florida: the best place to run away from your past mistakes and into new ones" Lol, I'm dying, can we get that on a shirt? I as a Floridian will wear it proudly.
As another Floridian, I heavily agree.
That called being "Florida man"
@@Udontkno7 as a third Floridian, I agree as well, and also now that there's three of us, this is officially a criminal conspiracy.
@@maxjohansen9475 as a now concerned citizen, im calling in the army
Having been a participant in the “Recovery” scene (racquet) several years ago in Florida, this is quite similar to a phrase I used to say when asked about my time in Florida. I believe I used to say something like, “It’s where miscreants go to start over, so they move there but never actually change anything.”
His is much more concisely put, but that’s why he’s a famous author and I’m not 😂
Oh boy, Incas in Extra History, Peru in Geography Now, and now Tupac Amaru II in Crash Course... 'tis a great week to be peruvian in youtube :)
They should make a Crash Course on Peru. A lot to cover there.
@@Jorgejhms Or to be realistic (knowing that most of its public is north american) a Crash Course on Latin America :)
I think that John Green could have talked a little bit more about the causes of the Seven Years War in Europe with the "Diplomatic Revolution" and Friedrich der Grosse invading the Electorate of Saxony. However I did like that he went into some details about that the Spanish were up to because it is rarely talked about what the Spanish were doing in the 18th century. As some other people have already commented It is also satisfying to see John Green cover the Wars of Catherine the Great and Pugachev's Rebellion which rarely ever get mentioned (much less talked about) in other places.
We the Spanish are always up to something. Specially if we can screw over the English or the French... Or ourselves.... We just like to figth.
Thank you for dealing with Russian History alongside with history of another Empires and countries. It's actually really rare when history of Russia considered to be a part of European History. Especially when it's not about just wars and foreign policy, but the internal affairs too. It will be interesting to investigate about Alexander Radishchev and Nikolay Novikov, the FIRST real opposition against Serfdom and Catherine II not from the peasants, but from the nobility. Especially if you will talk about reactions of European monarchs on Great French Revolution.
Most schools in western Europe touch on Russian history, at least from my personal experience.
@@peffiSC2source Glad to hear this. Just as I concerned most westwern media usually reflects on American or European history only. But you can't know anything and so I could do a little mistake in judging some aspects. That's why I interested in projects like this. From which country you are? How Russian history explored in your studies? I'm sincerely interested.
"A rebel worse than Pugachev"
Katherine the II after she read "A road from Petersburg to Moscow"
Hi I'm from the US (specifically California)! Russian history is usually discussed in high school World and European history classes, but sadly only starting in the 1700s. We learn almost nothing about Russia before Catherine the Great.
In my german history classes modern russian history was often taught. The russian revolution, the soviet era and the fall of the soviet union. This may be because its strongly tied to the german history. In eastern germany its still quite common to learn russian as a second language. A friend of mine from Dresden learnt it at school.
Older russian history the likes of Peter the Great, the republic of Novgorod, Kievan Rus or else are not really taught in history classes here.
Jaden Smith? You mean *that* Jaden Smith? The son of Will Smith? Wow. That's kinda random.
Tathrennor came here to ask the same thing. But I don’t mind if it sponsors my favorite channel 🥰
@@alarcon99 100% Agree.
Thank you Jaden for supporting this channel!
At least he's sponsoring something worthwhile unlike some other celebrity people who put themselves behind products or causes that are... less important or impactful. :)
Yep, Jaden was on the "Name our Studio after you" tier on patreon, he's a really big fan of Crash Course
This episode was awesome. Cheerful attitude, interesting not biased information, greater scope and meaningful analysis. I'm Spanish and I learned a couple of things about my own country!!! Thanks
Fun fact: "Peru" in portuguese means Turkey (the bird, not the country), and everytime Brazil wins a soccer match against Peru, the people says: "Peru was roasted in the last game".
I as a German should probably not talk about roasting soccer in Brazil, right?
@@mortuos557 You can talk now, but some people still have PTSD, so be carefull :p
@@gibranhenriquedesouza2843 to be honest, I wish it had happened to another team. Humiliation in front of your own population? That was so cruel...
@@mortuos557 Some people said Brazil deserved it because in the epoch there were corruption scandals ecloding in TV news but no one cared. But when 7x1 happened everybody started to talk about it only to avoid talking about the 7x1.
@@gibranhenriquedesouza2843 so it was actually good for something? 😂
What a relief 😂
This video is great, very informitive on how war change over millennia yet stay the same. Love your history vids
One could also say that war...war never changes.
Yes! More history lessons from Mr. Green and we get to learn a lot today
I’m so happy you came back with new videos John Green!!!! Keep it up
Feature history made a video about the Mongols and never once said anything about them being the exception.
Hacks.
Blasphemy!!!
I'm old(er) and enjoy these for their perspectives and details. I also love being able to pause and zoom in on the paintings.
Threw me for a loop.
"The Bear and the Dragon. A classic"
Me: Aw hell yeah
"I've never actually read it"
Me: *YOU UNCULTURED SWINE*
"But inside..." pulls out a flask
Me: Aw hell yeah
One of the least bad Novels in the Jack Ryan series. Especially in the late phase of the series.
@@gildor8879 I personally loved The Bear and the Dragon
I always figured Túpac was an African Name given that 2pacs parents were black panthers but it’s super cool they named him after a Peruvian Anti Imperialist revolutionary
Stephen Morris rumor has it that this Tupac is also still alive somewhere recording albums.
It would be awesome, after you finish crash course European history, to start a crash course in Latin America history, because of its diversity and many aspects that make their history unique from other areas of the world. For example Brazil’s independence was “peaceful”
I have seen John talk about the french revolution like 3 times already
I want to see what more he (and the writers) can offer
As long as he keeps the joke about "finding a different room in France."
I LOVE THIS SHOW!! THANK YOU Mr Green and Team
I love (and have always loved) how he teaches.
Mannnn I just love watching these so much thank you guys for making them 😊
This series has pretty much made it interesting to learn briefly about European history from the medieval age to now. Thanks John for making the series interesting. I like to recommend a series about Asian history if possible.
First time in 12 years I don't teach AP European History and NOW you create an AP Euro channel? Sheesh :)
I know this is random but... As a teacher, which is your favorite era of European history, and, military speaking, which is your favorite army/unit? The Spanish Tercios, the French Grand Armé, the Swedish Caroleans, the Polish Winged Husards, the British Red Coats, or the Russians Cosacs.
@@leonzoful I'll admit I don't know much about the different military units you speak of, but I would have to go with Cossacks? Gotta love their dancing :)
As for my favorite era, I'm always a sucker for the Italian Renaissance. But I also enjoy studying the French Revolution, late 18th c. Romanticism, and the 1930's buildup to WWII.
@@jeffthomas8998 I mean who doesn't love Cossacks dancing ;)
Ah the Renaissance, that time when Europe came back to its senses and origins. I'll admit it's also my favourite period in history; so many scientist, so many artist, so many inventors, so many advances in medicine, so many great battles and generals... I could keep going talking about this wonderful period in history
Best episode of the series as of now but pretty sure next one is going to be revolutionary 😋
Great to see that you own a second shirt!
The phrase "seize Silesia" yeeted me back to 2010:
Prussia has come to seize Austria's vital regions.
4:18 Why show a modern political map of Europe when we're talking about the 18th century?
Probably because they want to show where things are geographicly and modern borders help as a reference point. Furthermore, especially Southern Germany was a mess of little states before napoleon sorted them new, so it wouldn't exactly be easy to draw the right map with rheir crash course esthetic. But yeah, I was put of as well.
Thank you for this project!
Thanks for the vid!
Amazing video and amazing job friend 😀😎👍❤
History videos are the best in the channel, thank you for doing them.
Would be interesting to have a video tracing the gold taken from the Americas to Europe.
Anyone else notice that CrashCourse apparently recognises Russia’s annexation of Crimea at 4:15 hmmm
love the j alfred prufrock ref :D
One of my pet peeves remains the reference to Britain's "13 colonies in North America" where, indeed, there were many more than 13. And a quick glance at the actual language of the Stamp Act and the Tea Act will show that they were imposed on the "British colonies or plantations in America" (that language is used repeatedly). That covers a lot more than just the 13 quarrelsome colonies that eventually separated.
Ah yes. Good you included Philippines in the Seven Years War. Often overlooked as a footnote
This mixture with native people started with Portugal, where due to the low population, the king ordered by law that Portuguese man should marry ( a honest catholic marriage) with natives of America, Africa and India.
Oh, and talking about the “real” first world war: the Portuguese-dutch war.
Man, these videos really want me make to play EU4. Unfortunately, I now have to wait for all the mods to be updated after the Manchu update.
Penny Lane just play it unmodded
Read The Bear and the Dragon! One of my favorite TC books. It makes me slightly sad to see a copy mutilated like that :-(
Cool video!
I'm hoping for an episode dedicated to Scandinavia. These are great Mr. Green!
I feel as though a warning should be given before reciting anything from The Lovesong of J. Alfred Prufrock. I am just here to get an overview before I start researching the environment in which Lorenzo Da Ponte grew up in and now I'm having an existential crisis over the women which I know are coming and going, coming and going 🥲
Please do a literary analysis on that piece. It's soooo good.
Great video, thank you very much , note to self(nts) watched all of it 14:50
Your description of Florida at the ten minute mark is basically just the plot of the Mountain Goats' album, huh?
Quick make all of these before the AP test!
Are you going to do another season of crash course literature?
Hey Hank!!! Can you please make a crash course chemistry video on the Born Haber process, for IB HL chemistry
He did a whole video on Fritz Haber and what a bastard he was on SciShow.
😂😂😂 omg im so old, so old i wear my trousers rolled. Me at work daily. Appreciate the laugh!
OMG newly uploaded crash course video today! John Green looks like 7 years older. I see some grey hairs and he sounds so mature too lol.
That subtle and dark humour is working
So many wars everywhere! I'd say the Seven Years War (1756-63) was key in realigning power within Europe and globally, and ultimately leading to the American and French Revolutions. Lots of 'causes' for fighting but maybe the ultimate one was so many people, rulers, religious beliefs and cultures being crammed into a tiny part of the planet, bursting at the seams
The Bear and the Dragon is ttttttttterible. It's where I finally gave up on Clancy.
Waits all week for a ten minute video
You are not old John Green you are just really cool
Dear Mr. Green, Would you please make a video about the 30 years war? And by the way, YOU STILL OWE ME AN ANTHROPOLOGY CRASH COURSE, YOU PEOPLE PROMISE!!
love, Aurora.
You should cover Wollstonecraft. That would be very old school CC.
It was interesting to hear about women's fashions at the beginning. I heard that white wedding dresses didn't become popular until the Victorian Era. White fabric was difficult to clean back then, so if a woman had a white dress, it was only supposed to be worn once in her entire life. And believe it or not, weddings weren't considered "important" enough.
Hey John
Just letting you know that the world map shown is wrong yet again
See you in the next video
which world map?
@@codybrown5071 The one where Jammu and Kashmir is shown as a part of Pakistan
Can there be a crashcourse including the Sullivan Campaign into Upstate New York, right after the American Revolution?
Did you say Jaden Smith? 🤯 That's awesome!👍😁👍❤
0:24 War... War never changes.
John, you should check out Caspian Report on youtube.
I referenced the dress in one of my classes last week and my students looked at me like I had on a dress that was neither of those colors.
Kids these days, man.
8:10 - Just like to point out that the war was already well on-going when the Declaration was ratified in 1776. The war initially started in the Boston area in April 1775 and rapidly escalated from there- the Continentals even launched an invasion of Quebec, which failed before year's end. Although the vid is correct that the British finally started sending over larger numbers of troops- including the infamous (from the American perspective) German mercenaries- after the Declaration, causing the war to dramatically escalate further.
If he doesn't make a reference to Fallout with "war... war never changes" next episode i'm gonna lose it
So many missed opportunities already... I feel ya
I personally always love the intro of these movies 😊
9:51 Isn't "running from your past mistakes into new ones" actually Las Vegas' motto?
03:08 the guy who faked the others out is a smart cookie lol
Spanish Inca war will make an awesome movie
Was anyone else expecting a libertage when John said,"But in America was don't stand for that kind of reason"?
I was disappointed there wasn't one.
ikr, little disappointing but meh
Can you PLEASE do something on Nepal ? PLEASE
@13:03 ...and it wouldn't be the last time a Miranda led the colonists to victory in the battle of Yorktown...
4:07 That elephant can't even with those British dudes
Great series. Are there any plans for making a series about Chinese or Indian history?
Video title says 18th century...description says 19th century?
Well it might not be related to the video, but is it wrong? :D
I am pretty sure the description is the one that is wrong, since in the video John is talking about the 1700s which would be the 18th century.
@@waffle2434 John
@@22015slee lol thank you very much😂😂😂😂😂
@@waffle2434 No, he is talking about the succession wars, seven years war (in America known as "French and Indian wars") and the American Revolution... all 17oos. He may mention the 1800s, but even at the end it's the FRENCH revolution that is announced as coming next... which still is 1789 and following decades.
John’s voice is like a diesel engine in this series. It takes a while to warm up
good
You know, I am studying French History in college, and I bring this up since CC are going to talk about it in their next episode and I must say, I feel bad for King Louis XVI. He's just a dork who simply enjoyed hunting and picnics and what I could understand from the small bits of info I could dig up, and I could be wrong here, but Louis XVI wasn't really meant to be king, his older brother was next in line but he died at a young age and Louis didn't receive the training necessary for him to be a strong ruler. The structure of an Absolutist Monarchy really screwed everyone in France during the 18th Century over. I suggest you guys read "When The King Took Flight" by Timothy Tackett which paints King Louis XVI and his situation pretty well so you can understand where I am coming from. Like I said, I could be wrong about the part where I said that Louis XVI was not meant to be king and if so, can someone who is more knowledgeable on the subject please correct me.
The French-Indian War is mostly a US appellation; just about everyone else rolls it into the Seven Years War, since Britain was fighting in several other parts of the world, against a variety of countries, including France and Spain, at the same time. Also, Adam Smith, in the Wealth of Nations, wrote that the colonies lack of political representation was only part of the problem. The other part that was leading to the crisis was that Britain insisted on a trade monopoly with the colonies and prohibited the manufacture of certain products, which was stifling the colonies' economic growth and the profit of their industry.
Is the Balkan War a part of European History?
😂😂😂
Which one? There were so many.
Arjun Sinha yes
Heads up @CrashCourse -- at about 7:32 the audio and the closed captioning have a pretty significant difference -- sounds like you may have cut a word in audio and forgotten it when using the script for captioning.
Is this re-upload of John Green from the past? Or the current John Green? I haven't seen his crash course for many years.
FLORIDA MAN: Makes CrashCourse documentary
10:32 Please don't forget "Túpac Amaru I" (1545 - 1572) the original!
I remember that meme. But I was born in the late 80s, so I'm still able to make longterm memories.
They had warfare but they didn’t have a vast empire like the Mongols. They’re the exception
As a Floridian, I approve that dig at Florida.
It's worth noting that the US Constitution was not present at the founding. It later replaced Articles of Confederation as those United States were styled as a nation after leagues more akin to those found in the Holy Roman Empire and later executive powers would liken to the doomed Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth than to the Monarchies or Parliaments of Western Europe. Further, rather than enshrine slavery these documents forming and reforming a federated republic punted the question of slavery to the states themselves - many of whom instituted abolition.
They probably brought up the constitution since it's the more influential document. France passed like 10 different constitutions during the revolution, all of which were to an extent modeled after the American one. In the rest of the Americas and later elsewhere in Europe too, it's the Constitution that would shape legislation, not the articles.
The US Constitution helped to protect slavery.
@CrashCourse Episode #21 is not in the playlist ATM..
I see who ever wrote the scrips has recently listen to/read Empire by Niall Ferguson
off late, John is reminding me of Q, and I'm not okay with that... and i'm not okay with that.
If Jaden is a Crash Course fan, I'm a Jaden fan. I guess imma hit up spotify now
i was disappointed i didnt hear any mention about the mongols
Well, in fairness to RGIII, GW DID mess up the invasion of Louisbourg quite badly. Had General Wolfe not died at the Plains of Abraham, the United States would likely have been granted dominion as part of Canada by Queen Victoria under the British North America Act, and now have access to universal health care.
Louisbourg also taught the British to incorporate Indigenous ("Native" is so not PC) populations as the French were doing (Ou est les coureurs des bois et Métis?!?) which led to success during the War of 1812.
AS for the We(s)t coast (Best Coast) of North America, the Russians were engaged with their own excursions in Alaska.
The US basically lives in Canadians’ heads rent-free 24/7, but Americans never think about Canada.
4:50 Tom Clancy's Smuggling Simulator
Not a word on the War of Succession, that's how the century started. I guess it was more important to focus on the colonies.
8:20 You support the British? Here, drink all the tea you so love!
STAN CAN I GET A LIBRATAGE
when the first dress popped up (0:36) i was like "??? i thought this was 18th century not 1800s" bc it looked very late 1820s-1830s to me, but my expertise is limited to being a les mis fan and watching waaaaay too many meme mom karolina zebrowska videos. the "gold" dress (1:05) does look 18th century (middle of the century maybe??) with the panniers, very squared off neckline, and inverted triangle-shaped stays, so that seems right??
*so another watcher that knows 18th century women's fashion:* was it a thing and i just dont know about it bc i prefer post-regency fashion? or am i right and they just put up a dress from the 19th century?
charicaturing American independence as "not representative" and "enshrining slavery" kind of teaches the opposite of what the rule by laws and equality of voting and representation actually meant to the people of 1770s, who grew up being told "whatever social class you were born in, that's what you deserve and can't change it. if you aren't happy about being a slave you clearly aren't working hard enough, and if you are working, you don't deserve to be called a "gentleman" "
I guess I won’t be going to school until quite a while later...
John, have you ever been to Europe?
10:31 never knew that the ancestors of tupac came from inca descent and they were also anime fans that wached narturo, tupac amaru sounds like uciha clan move btw just saying
Yes, quechua and japanese sometimes do sound eerily similar no joke
8:18 this 😂
