Europe Ablaze: The 1848 Revolutions 

Thanks for your work, saying that your videos are incredible would be an euphemism. Thanks for your craftmanship, these are some of the best stuff on youtube. As for the Radetzky March, while I recognize that it is pretty catchy, as an italian I don't think it will stick in my head :P

Absolutely and always

It is so great if u will found unknow photos of historical characters

What will the next video be on?

This was amazing! Amazing 🤩

Vive la France 🇫🇷✊♥️⚜️✝️

Not anymore. The liberals of 1848 would be very upset about people being arrested for speech.

Advantages of already being a liberal constitutional monarchy (I am not English btw).

Ironic how Napolean III is also exiled to England's after being defeated in Franco-Prussian war

@@Golmar_227 it's even more ironic that Napoleon III was a policeman during the time when England recruited alot of policemen

@@madhurawat155 The people fleeing to England were anything but liberal democrats, so England was actually helping enemies of freedom, just saying.

True!!!!

They understood theatrics back in those days

Sicilians and Neopolitans also migrated to America in mass.

@@alexzero3736 very true. They, along with the millions of Germans and famished Irish, helped turn the tide during the civil war. More so then slavery or secession, the presence of millions of new liberal-minded voters in the North tipped the scale decisively in favor of the Union. I've always viewed the revolution of 1848 as being a direct cause of the civil war.

They must go back

@@anythingthoughanythingthou2453 Why would Germany want those traitors back?

Thanks Fin!

Oui! "Enrichissez-vouz"! 🤣Essentially means "work hard and you will succeed"/"pull yourself up by your own bootstraps" or might as well by some miracle or act of God! Of which we know even to this day that such is utter Bourgeoisie/Hierarchy Continuation BS. 🤣 I hope it's not too late to unite once again...

@@leponpon6935 nahh, sounds more like: "Are gas prices too high? Just buy a Tesla!!!!"

@@leponpon6935 It sounds like Macron today. Same A-holes in power for centuries.

So inavding all those countries and planting ideas via unprecedented propaganda through the dominant force of military occupation is just called 'sneezing' now? lol

​​@@user-gq2ln3dg3zts called a metaphor, its subtle i know, even if the message really just means "when France acts, Europe reacts" in a fancier way

"get rich" is much better

"You get a revolution!" "You get a revolution!" "Everyone gets a revolution!" Poland: YAAYYYYY Europe: Oh, except you. Poland: -_-

Bismarck's answer to the King's question of what action to take in Berlin, the Prussian Infantry March, or Prussian Glory tapped out on a piano. Epic, no pun.

Immigration to the US in general before the Civil War just fueled tensions as more and more territories asked to be incorporated as US states. The point of dispute was whether these new states should be either banned from keeping up slavery or should be allowed to vote on it. Next decade you get Bleeding Kansas and then a bunch of butt hurt southerners think they can take on the industrial might of the north.

Not to forget the role some of these German immigrants would play during the American Civil War. I'm pretty sure the student Carl Schurz who is mentioned in the video is the same Carl Schurz who would lead Union troops about one and a half decades later.

Yes, you are right. He served in the civil war but was also a u.s. Senator.

Also Australia. Many Chartists were exiled (‘transported’) from the UK to Australia, profoundly influencing Australian politics and character. By the end of the 19thC the Australian colonies could call themselves ‘the working man’s paradise’.

They must go back

Thanks for sharing that

Hitler's failed beer hall putsch should be celebrated because it delayed him coming to power.

BeWe, Robert Blum was executed in 1848. The Weimarer Republic was proclaimed 70 years later. After the first world war the King William II was kicked out of the country.

Why no both? Celebrate during the day, mourn in the night

@@secretname4190 We actually do celebrate reunification! Just not on that day! Germany as it exists today officially united about a year after the Wall had fallen, on the 3rd of October 1990.

Austria victories against the Ottoman Empire are nothing to be scoffed at.

Eugene of Savoy. Even if he was not Austrian (he was French and Piedmontese) he fought for Austria and was the Creme de la Crème.

​@@maxanderson9293 What does the Ottoman Empire have to do with this?

But I'm still waiting for the stuff about Napoleons early career and his rise to power.

1848 was an awful year. Napoleon did more harm than good and basically destroyed Europe

Bravo! Du très bon travail

@@eksadiss Screw the politics stuff, I want egypt and italy!

@@ImperiumMagistrate enjoy life in your absolute monarchy.

If we had a society that cared about the past then we would talk about it

Don't forget Marx and Engels, who wrote the Communist Manifesto directly in response to the 1848 revolutions.

Maybe your curriculum was different but here in cbse board india, we learnt all about the year of revolutions 1848, italian and German unification etc

@@fromhegel4036 People now a days contribute Marx and Engels to genocide and poorness. They don't care about what ideas and opinions they actually stood for. Sad.

It’s simple actually, it’s because today nationalism is attached to the far right (whereas it was attached to the left in the 19th century). Roughly speaking, people don’t want to say today that nationalism is a « good » thing.

I'm also from Czechia, but when I attented to a high school, we learnt about year 1848 throughouth the Europe, including Italy, France, GB, Germany, Austria etc. But school are different I guess.

@@ErnstBarkmann88 so did we, but since we talked about all of them, we barely got deeper insight into any

Im also Czech but when was the Czech flag the same as Polands?

It was like it, blue strip was added latter and it represented Slovakia. (or at least, that what parents told me)@@henrybarta2951

​@@henrybarta2951Flag of "Bohemia" which is modern Czechia

Italians defeat Austrians you say? In which battle? :P

@@falc6125 battle of Solferino and second Italian war of independence. With the help of France of course, but that doesn't change the point.

Good point!

@@alexo2235 well both wars win with help of other great power. In 1859 with help of France and during 1866 by help of Prussia. During both wars Italians would not be able win anything on thier own. 1866 campaign was even worst for them. As they loose both on sea and land with superior numbers.

@@falc6125 you're totally right

Amen. It's the first time I found this topic exciting. I tried several times, but never could get my head around it long enough to care. Now I feel like there should be an educational game about it. Kind of like "Here I Stand."

Nah its Epic History that should incorporate more aliens and conspiracy themed videos. (jk)

@@Tolstoy111 Not to mention "Kings of Pain" and "The Pickers." They're utterly compelling...

Its actually just one man behind all this!

@@hannibalb8276 he does research, editing and narration?

@@Best-gv1dm narration is done by Charles Nove, a different guy who works with EHTV

No they don't. Unless you went to the shittiest University on earth, or more likely you didn't go to Uni at all and are just parrotting everyone else that makes these claims on YT. This is a great overview but it doesn't even scratch the surface of more in depth history courses on this subject, especially in terms of analysis

Mostly because it's left ignored during school time...

The fact that almost nobody knows the following is equally shameful. History of white slaves: Well over one million whites were enslaved in North Africa between the 16th and 19th centuries, most of them abducted and sold by Muslim pirates. Africans were raiding Europe for slaves for hundreds of years. The school system has totally erased this fact from history. Of course white people were enslaved in other parts of Africa too, and across the world for centuries. Including in North America where white "servants" were shipped to the colonies by the thousands. Slavery in America didn't begin in 1619. White children were being kidnapped and sold into servitude in the colonies before that. And of course slavery existed in the Americas for hundreds of years prior to Europeans ever setting foot there. Indian tribes all practised slavery. Slavery persisted in non-western countries long after it had been abolished in the west. Slavery was an accepted institution in Africa and Asia for millennia, and it seems to have never occurred to any of these societies that there might be something wrong with the practise. And of course the African slave trade was mostly furnished by Africans capturing other Africans and selling them into bondage. The African slave trade was abolished by the west, not by Africa. It was abolished by the west against the objections of the non-western world. Slavery remained legal in parts of Africa well into the 20th century.

That’s by design

Governments, even democratic ones, don't want you to know this

Napoleon is would be against the revolution to be frank

You got that right. Jarosław Dąbrowski, a red veteran of the 1863 Polish uprising was the head of the Communard militias during the Paris Commune.

@Artur M. I am still working on my Bem video (I know, I haven't been the fastest, but oh well), it would be a great tie-in for this, but I'm not sure when it will be done, stay tuned tho. :) The script, maps and some assets are done at least.

@@milanseres9113 That's great news! (Everyone, go check out Milán's channel, especially the video about Bem, and the one about Emperor Julian 'the Apostate'.)

What was the Greater Poland uprising all about? I mean, what did they achieve before they were defeated by the Prussians?

@@rennor3498 Well, in short, it was about fighting for independence (admittedly, not a realistic goal), or at least for greater autonomy of their region - with increased liberties; national and civic alike, which didn't seem that far-fetched, given the revolution raging all around. At the very least, the insurgents wanted all of the rights Poles were supposed to have, according to the Congres of Viena, fully respected. But in the end, it had the opposite effect; the Grand Duchy of Posen/Poznań (German: Großherzogtum Posen; Polish: Wielkie Księstwo Poznańskie) lost all of its autonomy and became a regular Prussian province. Later, harsh policies of Germanisation followed. BTW in 1846 there already was a failed attempt at starting an uprising in Greater Poland, also led by Mierosławski, which sometimes is counted as one of the Greater Poland uprisings, making it 4 in total. The ones in 1807 and 1918 were actually successful, so that's a 50% rate, far better than uprisings in other partitions. 😉 Fun fact: two American Civil War colonels (eventually brigadier generals) of the Union army: Włodzimierz Krzyżanowski and Józef Kargé were Polish veterans of the uprisings in Greater Poland in the 1840s (Krzyżanowski took part in that flopped one in '46, although some sources mistakenly claim he fought in '48).

Great idea !

He kinda already did

@@Randomdude112 his napoleon series only slightly touched the topic

@@simonhagstenn heads will roll

@@Randomdude112 He definitely has not

Another book I could 100% recommend about the revolutions is the “revolutions of 1848 a social history” by Priscilla Robertson

@@scsports7281 Thanks for your recommendation! I shall go check it out soon.

Thanks for the recommendation; I just bought the book!

Stupid comparison

it is the voice

I still want to see them do world war 2 though.

can you just imagine the amount of people and ideas there would be if Napoleon and the failed revolutions of the 1800s didn't happen! so many young men and families died out during this time of wars. and then include ww1-2

Yeah right. Likely living in hell where one is living like a peasant with little to no rights. And no wars? Nah, there will be wars which likely be even worse than what happened IRL.

@@jugaloking69dope58 The 30 years war killed more people and it wasn't caused by revolutions or Liberal ideals, just aristocratic monarchies fighting eachother, there would be massive wars regardless

agreed

@Muhammad (PressTVsupporter) If Islam was good the Middle East would NOT be sinking in shit. No religion should have any importance in shaping Politics, not even neoliberalism (which is a kind of fanaticism of men who have a lot of money and want to concentrate more money by enslaving free people as if they were Islamic mullahs and ayatollahs).

This is also what I suspect. But things will degrade much more until there will be a new revolution. I feel freedoms being eroded. Even small managers, with little power, got used to abusing this power and behave like absolutist monarchs ruling over serfs. Law is weak. People are scared and complacent. Things will get a lot worse until they get better 😢

@@gigikontra7023 The cases and conflicts that I have seen and closely followed confirm what you said. The rotten state of Law and Justice in Europe is becoming alarming.

@@fabiodeoliveiraribeiro1602 I feel the social system is becoming ossified. Power is being concentrated in fewer and fewer hands through obscure channels. Press is all about "could this happen" instead of "it happened". People discuss bs subjects instead of real concerns (Putin's reactionary forces, anyone!?). Universities are not anymore promoting enlightenment. They hand out nobiliary degrees. I could go on and on.

@@fabiodeoliveiraribeiro1602 things get done by double standard: Germany reunified After 1989, but Romania was not allowed to reunify with Republic of Moldova etc.
