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.

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.

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.

@thorstenfinke2751 4 года назад

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

@Oxtocoatl13 4 года назад

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.

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.

Amaru II was sentenced to be executed. He was forced to bear witness to the execution of his wife Micaela Bastidas, his eldest son Hipólito, his uncle Francisco Tupa Amaro, his brother-in-law Antonio Bastidas, and some of his captains before his own death. The following is an extract from the official judicial death issued by the Spanish authorities which condemns Túpac Amaru II to torture and death. It was ordered in sentence that Túpac Amaru II be condemned to have his tongue cut out, after watching the executions of his family, and to have his hands and feet tied ...to four horses who will then be driven at once toward the four corners of the plaza, pulling the arms and legs from his body. The torso will then be taken to the hill overlooking the city... where it will be burned in a bonfire... Tupac Amaru's head will be sent to Tinta to be displayed for three days in the place of public execution and then placed upon a pike at the principal entrance to the city. One of his arms will be sent to Tungasuca, where he was the cacique, and the other arm to the capital province of Carabaya, to be similarly displayed in those locations. His legs will be sent to Livitica and Santa Rosas in the provinces of Chumbivilcas and Lampa, respectively. - Sarah C. Chambers, Latin American Independence: An Anthology of Sources After the failed dismemberment by the four horses, his body was quartered, and he was then beheaded on the main plaza in Cuzco, in the same place his apparent great-great-great-grandfather Túpac Amaru I had been beheaded.

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 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.
