The Unifications of Germany and Italy: Every Day 

ok

Ur welcome buddy

Hi!

with pleasure

Ay

True, but Bismarck also vanguarded the use of "reparations" against France, which would later be used by France to justify the sums owed by Germany at the end of WWII.

Planet Watcher Well, technically we were invited to rule over Alsace in the Thirty years' war by its own population, which is why it hasn't really ever mattered to us to ask ourselves if the land is "historically" ours.

Sadly, it was true. French people were so happy that Napoleon 3 reign and the empire ended that the Franco Prussian war would have been soon forgotten. But the annexion of Alsace / Lorraine mostly against their will at the time ( see the story of the then mayor Emile Kuss ) create a lot of turmoil in France ( see the commune of Paris ) and created the condition of the First World War

Well, the northeastern part of Lorraine, which Germany annexed, was also German-Speaking.

Bismarck also predicted WW1 by the end of his life.

Well, Bismarck gets you +15 Administrative Power monthly, so I think they did.

This is Vic2 territory

So much Infamy penalty.

Louis XVI of France At least they get permanent claims.

Let's get some facts right.Germany wasn't aggressive though, because France declared war on Germany after being provoced by a german newspaper article. Oh and by the way. Elsaß was until the 16th century a normal german region like others, but the French king Louis the 14th decided to pursue a so called reunification policy, regarding the empire of Charles the Great, who controlled territories of Germany, Bohemia, France, Belgium, Netherlands and so on. So basically he intended to occupy Them and indeed he was successful concerning Elsaß.

Harjit Sajjan Frieza Style.

Harjit Sajjan and now germany lost almost half of its territory..

Sad reacts only

Actually France declared war on Germany, not the other way round.

That's what Prussia/Germany wanted. Napoléon was pretty much pushed to declare war, well played from Bismarck.

Milan Pavlovic "again"

Fun fact: when the Italian king was in San Marino, people there told him that they didn't want to be a part of unified italy

With only 10 years apart... Lol that almost looks planned

@@granatapacifica during the revolutions of 1846 or smth, both Italian nationalists and German nationalists tried to unify their respective peoples. But failed because the monarchist powers destroyed their revolutions.

@@draphotube4315 1848*, also it was because no one could agree how they were going to unite italy along with the monarchies not wanting that, and by monarchies I mean austria and it's puppets since it dominated most of italy and tried to also be the dominant power in germany

Oh lord…

@@granatapacificaGaribaldi was a Freemason

Nexxarian: That's a good question. I would say that: 1. Germany and Italy experienced the same things leading up to unification at approximately the same time. The people of both countries had to deal with their land being occupied by Napoleon. They each experienced the revolutions of 1848. They seemed to be on the same time schedule as far as events that would encourage nationalism and social change. 2. I think that Japan's consolidation of power around this time is coincidental. Japan was very isolated from the outside word until Commodore Perry's visit around 1853. The Japanese were smart enough to see that if they did not put aside their differences and copy western practices, that they would meet the same fate as other people of the far east. I think it was coincidental and not linked to Germany or Italy. 3. You did not mention the establishment of Canada as a nation in 1867. From what I understand, that was prompted in part by the American Civil War. From what I read, Canadians worried that the USA might come after them next, and thought that by creating a sovereign nation, that they would be in a stronger diplomatic position if the USA decided to invade them. I could be wrong about this, and I think that it is probably coincidental to Germany and Italy.

@Nexxarian: The importence of the 1860´s on europe historiy is that most of the events that happende here unified the german empire that later on tryed to counquere the world in WW1, and then when beaten in WW1, turned around fooled everyone and almost did it in WW2. Most of the 1860 history made it posible for germany to unify and get the stength they needed to pull off WW1 and WW2. Even if they ended up losing both wars, the horrific things that came out of these wars saids it all. (nukes/internet/big tanks and planes).

The Idea of nationalism emerged, the feeling that everyone with a shared culture and language should unite for the greater good of the community.

@@allium2718 Nationalism existed decades before the 1860s. It started taking form in a recognisable way in the mid-to-late 1800s during the era of constant French aggression and expansion under Napoleon.

@@EndOfSmallSanctuary97 Yes. I meant that the idea of nationalism had actual more noticeable sucess from then on.

Nobody was even thinking they could be an actual defence against an enemy attack. They just happened to be there. The Church state didn't rely on military options to protect itself, but only on diplomatic (mainly French) support, and this turned out to be more effective than 100 000 bayonnets. Well, until French collapsed.

It's still pretty badass to imagine the Swiss guard protecting Rome from the ancient 3rd Century walls in 1870 though. Truly the end of an era in a way.

get it marvel the last part of the roman empire is fall in 1870!

marvelfannumber1 i live in Rome (Roma) and there are still the Walls...

@@GRANFRA99 It's important to know that at the time it was really called the sardinian kingdom, the pope said "the aggressive actions of the sardinian army" when asking help from the conquest of the papal state

@@otto-pi8xu lol "absolute shambles" where

Ah nice... Im not the only one, who can see things in geometric forms

This war was the exact reason why Germany couldn't replicate that invasion though. The French watched and learned how the Germans could exploit the northern border where there were no natural barriers, and were prepared by the next time Germany tried to use that border by building fortifications that prevented any German advance. It's like disease immunity in war strategy.

@@dorthusiast France developed memory t and b cells so Germany had to change their cell wall

@@blakebonaccorso7166 Yes lol I really like the comparison to pathogen immunity

@@dorthusiast In turn, they were blitzkrieged through their northern border and France capitulated within a month. Evolution is an ever changing cycle.

@@CapCody I said one of. I didn't mean it was at the very top.

@Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation🇩🇪 East Francia annexed Rome, doing that then renamed itself the holy Roman empire. Everyone just forgets that the holy Roman empire actually had Italy because most of the Holy Roman empires modern history goes into the years after it lost Italy. also you don't have to be rude.

Germany did not fight Austria for its unification. In fact, in the German War (Prussian-Austrian War), almost all German states (Bavaria, Hanover, Saxony, Württemberg, Baden, Hesse, Frankfurt) fought for Austria. It was about supremacy in Germany, not about unification. Austria itself sought the unification of Germany (Greater Germany with Austria), but Prussia wanted to unify Germany under itself, and this was only possible if Austria, its greatest rival, was expelled from German politics.

​@@CapCodyin the late 80s and early 90s it was the 4th biggest economy after germany and above uk and france

Unfortunately it seemed like they built at least level 7 forts in paris because it lasted a really long time.

Michael Weiske Little did the French know that 69 years later Paris would be raped.

They've been hating each other for ever, pretty much

Yeah, but before that time, it wasn't "Germany" (It was the F*ing Habsbourgs) .... What? .... No, wait! Don't kill me, I love the Habsbourgs!! NOooo... ....

That started with Napoléon. Ironically, the hate against the French gave the disunited Germans a first, modern national identity.

Ironically, France has played a great part in the unification of Germany. Napoleon 1st dissolves the holy empire and created larger nations. And Napoleon 3 by becoming the aggressor who legitimizes the union.

You can even go back further in times with the end of the 30 years war which allowed Prussia to form in the first place by strenghtening Brandenburg.

Interesting that this widespread nationalism across both countries during this time likely helped fascists gain power in both

Corsica sold by Genoa to franceSavoy given by an italian state to france France helped the italians states for their unification, against the Austrians Do you italians, really likes to change sides?

PennyS we never changed sides WW1: Austria betrayed the triple alliance by attacking the entente without consulting Italy and Germany, so Italy had all the reasons to attack Austria WW2: Italy was with the germans, until both the allies and the german conquered it. Northern Italy was administered by the Germans, the rest by the allies. The only side switcher in WW2 is Bulgaria. It sided with the Axis but it switched to the Allies because it feared the soviets lmao

Romania also switched sides.

@@lorenzomanzoni1478 not totally correct, the reason why Italy attacked was the secret agreement between Italy and UK. Basically they promised Italy the tryol and many colonies in turkey and Africa, but when war ended they didn't respected all the path. In fact italians remember that as the "Mutilated Victory"... That's wasn't victory at all.

@@lorenzomanzoni1478 You don't get to attack someone, because they declared war on someone else.

Challenge accepted.

He had the help from a lot of bourbon revolutionaries but. Really. Would you shoot 1000 cute guys with a red coat?

@@granatapacifica if it is to defend the conquisted land, yes

The invasion of Sicily and other regions with 1.000 men is vastly exaggerated and overhyped. The Bourbon army back then was comprised of no less than 20.000 men, if I recall correctly. After 150 years, historians are finally finding out the invasion became possible thanks to secret deals with local lords as well as the "proto-mafia".

In fact he had a lot of resources. He received 3 million of French franks by the English masons.

@@cavestoryfan10 the English supported the Neapolitans...

and God, was that a mistake

The Prussian never wanted to humiliate the Austrians like they did with France. That's why shortly after the war they became friends

pokefan56785 pokemonx and y It was part of Bismarcks plan to offer austria a very mildly peace deal so they could potentially get them back as allie later on.

Poland in 1939 fighting the Germans Poland in 2018 fighting the Germans

I wouldn't call 50 years a short period of time, that's like 3 generations of people right there.

Prussia got its revenge during this war. Because the prussian hate for France came from Npoleon's campaign of 1806, when the french army basically crushed the whole prussian army in two weeks. Then the French were seeking for their revenge they finally got in 1914-1918. And then the germans were seeking for a revenge they got in 1940... Hopefully, those two countries have a strong relationship now, or we would already have 1 or 2 wars opposing France and Germany since 1945 ^^

agreed

and they both lost their little pointy areas lol (savoy, nizza - east prussia, silesia)

@@FalkyRocket2222 exactly. Some sort of geopolitical curse. In order to form their respective countries they had to lose their "starting/identity point".

​@@ilFrancotti that was only necessary for Sardinia-Piedmont though

@@ellidominusser1138 Initially yes, but in the long run both countries were affected. And to follow on the "geopolitical curse story" we can observe that the longer a country had kept its "starting/identify point" the more territorially unstable and painful the process had been.

@@ilFrancotti those processes only occured with Germany and Italy. No other country unified like that, and it didn't have anything to do with starting/identify point, for Prussia/Germany to lose their eastern provinces was a natural thing to do since they wouldn't just take something not adjacent, and for Sardinia-Piedmont to lose Savoie and Nice was cause of the claims that France had there from medieval times. It's just a coincidence that happened with both Italy and Germany imo

@Brett Miller the British won, at the cost of their economy, power and empire

@@cykablyatman1000 And even after two world wars, multiple revolutions, and multiple occupations, modern day Germany is still more powerful than France or Britain

@@Sceptonic Depends on what you mean by powerful. Germany nowadays couldn't stand a war against France or Britain, it's no more a powerful country in military like it used to be.

@@mr_bridou6507 They are economically and politically stronger, not militarily though.

@@Sceptonic They are politically very weak and their people are dying out. Same in other european countries really so who cares. But yes the Germans are very strong and have been so since the Romans took over Gaul and Britannia.

Prussia existed until the 1930's I believe. Wasn't it a member state of Germany or something like that ?

ya, but its dominance over Germany and its tradition was lost.

Actually, while Prussia lost most of its de-facto power in 1934 being split into Gaue like Pomerania, Silesia etc. it officially still existed. All ministries were merged however, Hitler became Prussian governor and Göring Prussian Prime Minister. It was finally dissoluted by the Allies in 1947.

Well it was pretty much gone after 1945 when Germany's modern day borders were established. The vast majority of what was originally the territories of Prussia i.e. those actually called "Prussia" was given to Poland, West Prussia was already Polish after WWI. When the Allies officially destroyed it, there wasn't really anything left to destroy other than what Brandenburg?

Prussian mapper well Prussia was really just an extended Brandenburg and Brandenburg still exists.
