Seven Years' War: Episode 2/2 | Animated History 

How about the British Occupation of Manila 1762-64 as part of the Seven Years War?

Can you pls do austrian war if sucescion?pls

Can you pls do the napoleonic war?

"because he and the french commander both were killed" classic empire total war battle

So do those guns behind your desk work?

Lol damn Brits let the continental fighting each other

Frederick the Great: *ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!?!?!?*

@@pickeljarsforhillary102 I can confidently say, we are not amused.

Polish Hero Witold Pilecki Love it how poles write something bad about Germans everytime. What‘s your Point all the time?

@Polish Hero Witold Pilecki Well the Germans did have empires that existed for quite a long Time and shaped the continent of Europe. You seem to be quite anti german inyour historical "objektive" point of view. The Austrian Empire was amongst the strongest of Europe for a Long Time. The German Empire was the strongest Continental Power for about 40 years. And Frederick the great wasn't a loser, He stood His ground for as long as possible against enemies that outnumbered him.

haha

lol

Italy perfected it though.

Perfection

Romania is like...Am I a Joke to you?

Exactly!

One of the greatest examples of blind chance and personalities of individuals deciding the course of history. It always makes me think about how would a different outcome affect the fate of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth? Alternatively, what if similar last minute "miracle" occurred say in 1791/2 with Catherine the Great suddenly dying?

@@Artur_M. For starters, without a strong Prussian state, Russians would've continued their influence over the Commonwealth, and there would be just no incentive to partition it. Would Austria be interested in such a deal? But then again, many things would've happened in the meantime, so it's basically impossible to predict the outcome. Butterflies would surely be gigantic in PLC's case.

Russia was fighting a war that wasn't it's business just like WW1. If it was just Prussia and Austria, Frederick would have steam rolled over Viena and beyond. Same case in WW1 if the Russians didn't joined to protect the tiny and irrelevant Serbia...

Austria took Bosnia because they wanted more influence over the Balkans... Just like Russia, and everyone knows you can't take Russia down alone. If the Austrohungarians didn't wanted to take Bosnia the Russians gladly would, or maybe worst, the Ottomans

Polish hero Witold something Lol triggered poles are so funny🤣. Jesus calm down you’ve been ranting all over the comment section.

Polish Hero Witold something Bro pls stay quiet we don't need to know your polish Hero.

Poltava wasent the reason but funny nonetheless

No it's Sweden thinking of Poltava: uhhhh you know we're actually just here because we are opportunists... Hehehe bye

I didn't want to make this comment to avoid sounding rude or misunderstanding your comments, but you guys know it's a joke right?

@@Neelmay13 Mate i ecknowledge that its a joke. Pretty clearly.

Daniel Vedberg Sekulic Ok.

Thanks Utte, that means a lot to me, and the team.

Pity about the spelling!

huh. French India would be interesting alt-history.

I think rather then covering the anglo-bengal war(7 year war) I think he should cover anglo-maratha or anglo-mysore wars

@@super_heavy_battleship4205 there would be no indian accents

@@super_heavy_battleship4205 France would have been by far the strongest country on Earth. And we all Indians would have been speaking French and only French.

@@monsieur1936 only french indeed

Beta build with Austria's and Britain's allegiances reversed, and Sweden joining in for a bit of banter

It was a beta build for the Napoleonic wars. Which was the Beta build of WW1.

@@TheBayzent Which was the beta build to World War II.

@@brandonhey7797 Which was the beta build to the Cold War

To bad for fredrick

*ONE MAUS TANK LATER* That should take care of it.

It... was a joke

@Polish Hero Witold Pilecki in all fairness, his father screwed him up properly... he loved music and philosphy, and his father forced him to be a military man.... and had his lover executed in front of him.

Polish Hero Witold Pilecki ehhh... I think we are all the result of our previous experiences, and being forced to watch his father murder his lover would leave permanent wounds. He learned that compassion and love were weaknesses, and the only thing that matters is power and victory. Fredrick II wasn’t a tactical genius... he was a musician and composer forced to live a life which wasn’t authentic to his true self. I still feel sympathy for him... even if he kind of started the 7 years war by contesting Maria Theresa’s right to the Austrian throne... a truly unforced error which created more problems for him than if he had just stuck to his own territory.

I already shaved, but I may decide to try to grow it out again.

@@TheArmchairHistorian become a wise guy with a long beard

@@TheArmchairHistorian it's very good

that wasnt a beard he just tried to eat a tarantula and failed.

Me a Greek:Beard?Thats not a beard!

Precisely.

It's the prequel

@@chasedavidson2855 The prequel to the prequel.

you should have won your war man...

@@erikkr.r.m7380 Ah, you like Stannis and Napoleon, a man of culture indeed.

@@immanuelsugar6209 stalin? Wtf? When have I eaven mentioned stalin?

Erikk kenneth Deneke I cant even tell if it’s intricate sarcasm or you are actually blind.

@@immanuelsugar6209 you are right mister Lee I was blind my apologies. I suffer from dislexia

Russia pulled a Russia on Austria and France. Look at what happened during WW1! Italy isn't the only one who backs out early.

@@TheArmchairHistorian and both times it happened due to leadership change

@@АлиМагомедов-я8э Italy changed sides because of the new Badoglio government as well... Benito just tried to create a new government under Hitler's pressure but without much success. The always change sides when new governments with different ideals arise. Greece is an example for ww1 as well...Well Venizelos proved to be more influencial than the king we instantly joined the entete.

Yeah, dude. If this was a movie, people would be walking out of the theater... Sometimes history really surpasses fiction

He was of northern german descent. That certainly helped.

Ikr? I loled right there

Thanks a lot Shane, I appreciate the comment.

Did you catch "I Vow to Thee my Country" playing in the background?

The Armchair Historian Yup, nice job on this one

at that time that phrase was pretty much disputed

@@KillerViper16 I thought it was more an encouragement than a statement of reality. "Come on, go out and make yourself the ruler of the waves", not "Britannia rules the waves"

The idea of Britannia rules the waves wasn’t as solidified a concept back then. The 7 years war was when this idea really started taking form.

- War of Spanish succession -7 years war - Napoleonic wars - Biggest empire ever - WW1 - WW2

@@Swift-mr5zi You missed a few.

Almost

But the big one you did lose, America it was actually a lot of other Brits like Washington. So that's a half win.

@@mrhumble2937 Actually we still won the American Revolution. Because it was English vs English.

Yea

Probs hacked the RNG system

HAX!

I think spains dislike for britain goes waay before the 7 years war.

@@usarkarzts4207 I am well aware of that fact. Spain's dislike for the English goes all the way back to the Elizabethian Era. However, you're missing the point. The point is that the Seven Years War had lasting impacts on the world that led to men and events such as Napoleon and the French Revolution, and Simon Bolivar and the Wars of Latin American Independence.

Has it gotten what it deserves lol

@@GojoGunning Not yet. Its trial for crimes against humanity are due this year, and then we shall see

@Britannic hayyomatt What do you mean Austrians didnt have an army ? and They had also some German reinforcments...

@Britannic hayyomatt Austrians where a little stronger than Italy.... in the last battle between them Italians got crushed badly.... and for sure they where stronger than Serbia but still lost at the battle of Morava river... but right after that battle Serbs retreated trough Albania because there was no way for them to repeat that sucess again... and yeah the revolution took Russia out of the war they werent doing very good even before the revolution... but in ww2 Russia showed them whos boss hehe :)

Britannic hayyomatt You are truly right.

@Britannic hayyomatt What are you talking about? Serbia was a part of the Ottoman Empire, but was independent since 1878. Serbia was never a part of the Austrian empire, with the exception of when it was divided with the help of Bulgaria during WW1 occupation, but that wasn't for long as Serbia was liberated and both Austria and Bulgaria capitulated.

​@@rinneganitachi4840 дела у России в ПМВ шли как у всех

East prussia wasnt rich. Compared to silesia it was poor. I would exchange east prussia to keep silesia any day ^^

@@noobster4779 Still.... East Prussia had some big cities and would be yet another port for Russia on the black sea.

@@Sandouras Ine big city, Königsgrad, and an abundance of farmland. The only other "big" city would be Memel, but its more like a town at best. Nothing compared to Silesia and more important Silesias manufacturing "Industry"

@@noobster4779 Jesus Christ i am talking about Fred offering East Prussia to the Russians and them not taking them. Why do you insist on comparing it to Silesia? Yeah, we get it, Silesia was better. But as Russia, even a square inch of land would be better than NOTHING. So compare East Prussia to NOTHING.

@@Sandouras I think governing the territory would be a problem. It is not EU4 where you can just spend some magic mana.

ERB Reference?

@@nikitakuznetsov8446 Yes!

@@shileetan625 I see.

Brandenburg gate mistake has been acknowledged. Based on the research we've conducted, we can say she most likely did.

It was a brawl in a tavern, but she pardoned them so she probably had a hand in the whole thing

@@hackalley3224 Actually, he was slain when under house arrest at Ropsha Palace. Alexei Orlov, brother of Gregory Orlov lover and core agitator in the coup that removed Peter from power is more than likely the culprit. Paul I held the Orlovs responsible for his father's murder, forcing Alexei in his old age to carry Peter's coffin in 1796, Alexei then hurriedly fled Russia until Paul's own assassination - in similar fashion - in 1801. Gregory Orlov claimed he was being terrified and harassed by a ghastly apparition of Peter shortly before his death, too. (similar things also happened to the assassins of Paul I). Peter's personal physician, an Englishmen, spent his life fearing Catherine was sending men to kill him. Furthermore, despite being the Emperor, Peter was buried unceremoniously in a little church, with a high scarf under the chin to disguise the finger marks of strangulation, although, admittedly that is flimsy evidence as the fashion was to cover the neck with high scarves. It was announced that the deposed emperor had died suddenly of gout and colic. Which is more than a little suspicious. It is generally accepted that the Orlovs killed Peter, some believing it was spar of the moment during a scuffle, others that they did so to prove loyalty to their new sovereign/lover, and that Catherine took no part in it but also took no action, proclaiming her conscious clear, treating her widowhood as a convenience. She would then spend her reign trying to erase all memory of him, to such an extent that the younger courtesans had not heard of Peter III at all, when Paul I ordered his father be reburied with the proper honours, in the same coffin as the Empress Catherine. Furthermore, the biographical details of Peter III are undeniably polemic, casting him as an inhuman cartoon: "Could only speak a little French", "teased the priests and interrupted the funeral procession of his detested aunt, Empress Elisabeth....", "Forced all the pretty ladies at court to spend a night with his favourite officer, whilst he stood guard at the door holding a sword all night..." "Was hideous to look at." "Obsessed with playing his violin, badly, whilst walking fast through the palaces....", "...staggered drunk most days....", "ran in a panic, in all directions, then coward below deck, teeth chattering with sweat upon his brow, when informed of the coup....showed no courage, et cetera." The character assassination is so thorough as to be contradictory to external knowledge of the man and lurid to the point of gallows humour.

Matthew Laurence thanks for the info, so the Orlovs killed him

The Armchair Historian She pardoned his assassin, it was most likely on her orders he was killed

Thanks beastgamer.

glory to the beard, glory to the armchair union

I believe he counts the Americas as one continent

India isn't a continent

She was, but so was he. He was born in Kiel as Karl Peter Ulrich von Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorf but happened to be a grandson of Tsar Peter the Great from his mother's side. In fact, Catherine did a much better job at "becoming Russian" (learning the language and culture and acting as if they were her own) than he ever did.

Deol Mapping we are not going to talk about that

Nah, they were to outdated the would have lost more than winning, loosing their crimean khanate protectorate sooner than in our timeline, they still remembered the result of the great turkish war 100 years ago almost exactly

When we say "France and its Indian allies" that is who we are referring to. Sorry we didn't make that clear.

WW1 should have been like that. countless soldiers with high discipline and a strong fleet against everybody

Napoléon/ France vs All europe = France/Napoléon win

@@Slcmax waterloo?

@@moritzk3004 The English are as always hidden on their islands, protected by the English Channel. Apart from paying the European powers, they haven't done much! As for Waterloo, not only was half of Wellington's troops not even British, but Wellington was also defeated at Waterloo. It was the Prussians who saved his ass.

@@Slcmax but you said that napoleon/france win against all of europe, but they where defeated at waterloo by european powers

"nope" -an Iraqi-

@me hee Quebec is French Canada and is referred to as such. I know what he meant but Quebec is still specifically called French Canada.

@me hee That has nothing to do with what I said.

@me hee Are you illiterate and just copy and pasting random sentences? What could that possibly have to do with anything I said? I cant imagine you're that stupid.

Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks Bram!

Is that what you call a beard? I was going to say he needs to remember to shave everyday or he will have unsightly stubble
