War of the Spanish Succession (Every Week) 

Who won ?

The Franco-Spanish Army.

Prince of Orange No it was Albania

ULTRAMAN MAPPING FICTION & HISTORY Oh yeah, my bad.

Prince of Orange Are you dutsh ?

Priorities.

A nation that was still the most powerful on Earth, that is why so many people were involved.

I wouldn't say that Spain was the most powerful nation on Earth during this war. By that time, their influence in the rest of Europe and most places other than South/Central America and the Philippines had diminished greatly. Great Britain and the Netherlands were quickly becoming colonial powers, but Spain was mostly stagnating.

Tundra No doubt, it was an Empire in decline, but still enormous whatsoever.

1 O e millón had died in this war not 900000

MrMapperIL I just fucking lost it .

Yeah, kind of a sad part of the Hungarian history.

Like French Revolution

lol

+Simon Ring I'll have another one up in a few hours.

SirNoob Exactly, i'd even say: France and a part of Spain against the rest of Europe.

More like France and pro-Bourbon Spain vs Europe

@@Raisonnance. That is effectively half of your in terms of population, so is the same thing. don't forget, the only nations around now that were around then our Britain, France, Spain, Portugal, Austria and Russia.those areas with hundreds of little states, even when fighting together, when no match for nations with large portions of their entire GDP focused on explicit precise purposes. The German states and the Italian states were basically curb stomped at this point in history by the others

DanRyzESPUK I'm catalan and I know it😢

I wouldn't say France's bitch. But yeah, France definitely won that war.

France lost some terrotories but won some as well, the Ubaye and a piece of Provence I believe.

Catalonia and Valencia = Aragon

"France's bitch" lol. "Nothing good came out of the war for them". Except Spain regained its Italian territories in later wars and its hegemony in Central and South America as well as their trading potential under Bourbon enlightenment. They also built a stronger navy which could finally stand up to the British navy. Later on they got Louisiana too. Every war France was involved in Spain gained from on the side. Napoleon tried to turn Spain into a satellite state and we all know how that ended.

because you a little british colony at that time, there was no "american" back then.

Also, Nevers secondary line succeeded the dead primary line instead the Guastalla's one (nearer to Habsburg House than Nevers) after the French victory in the Thirty Years War.

The nine years war ended with the understanding that Spanish possessions in Europe would be divided between the Bourbon and Habsburg claimants(Naples and Sicily to the Habsburgs), and Spain to the Bourbons. But the Spanish were reluctant to partition their empire, that's why Charles II made Philippe the sole heir to an undivided Spanish empire, cuz Louis convinced him that only France had the ability to hold their vast possessions together. The war was fought to impose the previous treaty and Louis gained nothing from the war that he hadn't already obtained through diplomacy.

Britain was the main beneficiary from the war; they gained Gibraltar and Menorca which gave them a foothold in the Mediterranean. They also got the rights to trade with the Spanish American colonies.

@@kaivalyaepanicker535 *Menorca

@@SR-jr5nh K, thanks

@@kaivalyaepanicker535 l'objectif était d'empêcher qu'un Bourbon s'installe sur le trône d'Espagne, résultat un Bourbon est sur le trône d'Espagne on peut donc en déduire que la France a gagnée même si l'Angleterre fait aussi une belle opération pendant le traité de paix car elle gagne des terres et le fils de l'ancien roi d'Angleterre déchu n'est plus soutenu par Louis XIV.

PrudensTheApprentice How about America,Australia,Asia,Africa ? It was just European war

+PrudensTheApprentice and south america?

For it to be considered a world war, you'd need more than just two continents involved.

Sean Brass Spanish Sucession war was fought in South and North america, Europe, Africa , Oceania and parts of Asia

Iceland Countryball Was it? My mistake, then. I had no clue that so many colonies were involved.

Louis GERNEZ That explains British French relationship

British cared about an alliance of Spain and France would be too dangerous since they were both enemies of Britain. If Spain and France were ruled under the same monarch Britain would be scared shitless so that's why they entered the war. And they got Menorca and Gibraltar from it and I believe Jamaica too. They still occupy Gibraltar.

Louis GERNEZ well they cared about their trade with spain thad the americas.

The enemy of British was Spain, not France. During century XVII England and France were allied against Spain

they also cared about portugal(ally) so thats another reason for entering the conflict

+GamesLegitament Yes, who won the war is an interesting subject. The objective of the war for both sides was to install their candidate for the Spanish crown. Considering the French achieved this, you could argue the French won. However, the allies, gained the southern Netherlands, Milan, Naples, the Hudson bay, Newfoundland, Acadia and Sardinia, so, materially speaking, the allies won.

+Ollie Bye (History) What's happened in Austria in 1705-1708?

Marco Tonesi It was a Hungarian revolt.

Ollie Bye thanks,I didn't know that PS greate video ;)

+Ollie Bye (History) It was in 1703-1711

in Fact, the Spanish army wasn't ready for the war, and all fleets and armies were on all of the globe protecting their colonies, at the start of the war a big part of military stay with Charles, also, the French forces were concentrating on europe, while the spanish Army fought more on colonies

Imperator Andreas yeah but the British did rout them several times impressively. Your comeback was good

You should see Nine Years War. France is even more badass there

The french got destroyed by the Duchy of Savoy tho

LMAO France was the world superpower with a complete military and ecnomic powerhouse along with a massive ass army.

+manzilla48 Well, you pretty well explained it by yourself. This was the golden age of France. Having the control of Spain would make them even more stronger & dangerous. The French King Louis XIV had an agressive/ expansionist behavior. So none wanted to see a big blob monster even more powerfull in western Europe. And so: War happened.

+manzilla48 What is more, even if Philip V was not meant to be King of France (grandson of Louis XIV, and an elder brother), there was no promise that Crowns of France and Spain would not join one day. In fact, at the Treaty of Utrecht, Philip V, Duke of Anjou, promised not to take the French Crown. And in these years 1712-1714, the French Bourbon Dynasty had a lot of death: Louix XIV's son, 2 grandsons (the 2 brothers of Philip V), and 2 grandgrandsons (nephews of Philip V). Only 2 years-old future Louis XV survived (Louis XIV died in 1715). If Louis XV had died like all his family, Philip V couldn't reunite the Crowns because of the Treaty.

The population too... In 1709, there was a horrible winter. Combined with a lack of food due to the english blockade and the casualties in the war, more than 2.000.000. french died in this year (for comparison, 600.000. French died during WWII).

When the king of Spain died with no issue he named Philip, a grand nephew of his, his heir. But Philip was French and the Austrians, who had been ruling Spain for 200 years did not like this and another candidate, also a grandson of the Spanish king's sister came forward. And alliance of France and Spain would be too dangerous for the other countries in Europe so England and other countries decided to fight supporting the Austrian candidate. At the end Philip got the crown of Spain, but not without heavy losses (Spain lost all of its European possessions plus Menorca and Gibraltar) and he or his descendants would never be able to claim the French throne.

It was increasingly becoming a satellite of France though, the golden age already ended in mid-17th century. Still a great power though.

Not anymore, Spain was a super power in the 16th century and first half of the 17th one

@senior jack Muslims conquer 3/4 of Spain. Spain retakes its own country giving Muslims the option to live if they convert to Christianity (one of the few countries to do so). And now Muslims are oppressed. Ur logic its great

:(

@@nosirve9458 ???? So you are saying that muslims didn't oppress, enslave iberians, nor consider them Second-class persons? Neither did the berber pirates?

Also its not 3/4 it was the entire peninsula, even some parts in southeast France

@@almoneriano8789 no the muslims allowed the Christians and jews to practice their faith without forceful conversion but on the other hand pain forcefully converted their conquered lands and exiled the moors

Especially in Germany

If the British had the more powerful Navy of the world, the French had the more powerful and important ground force of the world because France was the more populous country of the west (and one of the most populous of the world) so the Kingdom and the Republic after the Revolution was very rich (more people so more taxpayers than another country) and with the tax, the army was modern and huge (example, the Napoleonic wars).

Adrian Jackson no spain was the first one

Louis wasn't seeking the crown of Spain, that would have been too good, and the war started because a Spanish/French alliance under the same monarch would have become a threat too powerful. He only wanted his nephew on the throne to basically have virtual command of Spain and extend the influence of the Bourbon house in Europe.That way Spain and France would still be too separate kingdoms but under the same family so he could concentrate in fighting against Austria and England.

Yup, France Was The Superpower Of Europe Until The Seven Years War

mr ms paint until the battle of Waterloo*

Nah. Rather the 30 years war.

That's the price of a free society, e.g. Anglo-Saxon common law (1041) > Magna Carta (1215) >Parliamentary constituency-based ddemocracy > English Civil War >English Bill of Rights (1689).Worked out very well for them after that didn't it, and worked out really well for the rest of the worlds political, economic and legal systems and emancipation and enfranchisement of common citizens in the long run

@@Rowlph8888 internal strife could have weakened england too.

@@saikatbhattacharya8282 Well, it can't be a coincidence that after the in the Bill of Rights,and the emancipation of so many more groups of citizens, than anywhere else in the world history before that. This led to merchants being the catalyst in the inception and growth of 3 of the 1st 4 global centralised banks, with the other being in 1 of the Italian states (1600-1730), Ushering in the inception of fractional reserve banking, deployed into investment for future returns(The kind of calculated risk-taking Wealthy merchants and middle-class entrepreneurs started making for growth, that autocratic rulers on the continent did not have to take (Having total control, In their countries )) and therefore European countries lost ground quickly following this). This helped develop a network of canals with investments, unseen anywhere else, started inventing tons of advanced stuff in different industries in the following century, e.g. 1700+(E.g. spinning Jenny in textiles, arable/pastoral farming, Turnpike and tarmac, for roads, et cetera) . This is all before they invented the steam engine, trains et cetera, so I would say that those political structures providing more decentralisation of power amongst all the citizens in different parts of the country, was the catalyst to making England simply gradually exponentially stronger over time. After1689, not even virtual bankruptcy after losing the war of independence weakened them, whereas USA being helped by France, Spain and the Netherlands, severely weakened, all 3 of those European countries, Leading to catastrophe in France and the French Revolution

@@Rowlph8888 But it is not the only contribution. Spain and Portugal made the first globalization of the world, which took Europe out of the feudal era: migratory revolution, food revolution, banking revolution, Asian market revolution and city revolution. Spain made the first parliament in Europe (with representation of the entire society) in León 1118, as recognized by the ONU. The first influential liberal ideas were born in Spain, Francisco Suárez, School of Salamanca (liberal: Spanish word), also the first international human rights (Laws of Burgos 1512 and New Laws 1542) with a congress of experts from the Vatican and Spanish universities. First natural and scientific expeditions on all continents (16th-19th centuries), Spain discovered 3 continents (America, Pacific Ocean and Antarctica), and demonstrated the roundness of the earth with the first circumnavigation of the world. Spain made international law, and created the greatest world and heritage legacy: 40 universities, 2,300 stone cities, 900 great hospitals, 400 cathedrals, 300 fortresses, thousands of nursery schools in América, Europe, Asia, Africa. We also made the current calendar (16th century, which the British adopt in 1752) and participated in the Renaissance with our NATO in Italy of 457 years (we filled Italy with universities, baroque cities and palaces), which was possible because Spain stopped the Turkish empire in Lepanto and in Italy. The Spanish golden age produced the best literary work in history, "Don Quixote." Also the best baroque painter: Velázquez. Spanish theater influenced Europe from the 16th century to German Romanticism. Luis Vives made modern psychology, and Domingo de Soto made the first ideas about gravity, which influenced Galileo and then Newton. We made the counter-reformation, the first patented steam engines for industrial use (Ayanz, 16th century), and we added 800 million Catholics (100 million in Asia and 500 million in America: Western culture. We also saved 40 indigenous languages, and created the galleon. The first university women and university professors in Europe were Spanish in the 16th century. We also created a mestizo world, very similar to today's, in America, where 48% of Hispanic America has a mixture of Spanish and indigenous American blood. The Spanish currency It was the most important currency in the world for 300 years, mother of the currency of the USA, China and Japan, and 30 other countries. I mean that we all contribute many things. I have talked about the Renaissance, where Spain participated, but it is fundamentally Italian, and France promoted the illustration or a lifestyle in the 17th-18th century. The baroque and German science and philosophy were also born. British: industrial revolution and others lot things, too.

No the Hapsburg is a english spelling but its the wrong one

Yes this is true. Every war has effects and thus removing it would change history so much that it is impossible to predict such an alterative history. If the War of Austrian Succession did not happen, the Seven Years War would not happen, and therefor France would not suffer massive land losses. The American Colonists revolted because of the Seven Years War, and so they would not revolt, and France would not waste money funding them. France therefor would not have a Revolution, meaning that Napoleon would never come to power. This means no Napoleon: Total War, as well as XIX Century Diplomacy, meaning no WW1, or WW2 and Cold War.

exactly

@איתמר ליפא Spain didn't accept any role of "puppet", as it was seen in the War of the Quadruple Alliance (1718-1720). And Bourbon dynasty don't "rule Spain under the old monarchy". Since 1834 the Crown didn't reign under the form of the Ancient Regime anymore.

they were later on in the seven years war as a puppet to make france out of economic collapse. and when it was overthrown they got an opportunity to go to Austria and Luxembourg or even and then Francisco franco got them his legit heirs to prevent communism and republicans to take over

@איתמר ליפא Spain sought its own interest in the Seven Years' War. That is, trying to prevent Britain from gaining too much power. Furthermore, Spain was suffering attacks by British privateers, and it was Britain who declared war against Spain in 1762. Regarding Bourbon dynasty during 19th and 20th centuries, events could have been different. Things weren't predestined to happen that way. Anyway, the most important thing, as I said before, is the establishment of a *parliamentary system* since 1834.

NSaurio eres tú?

Los borbones fueron grandes reyes también. Durante todo el siglo XVIII, España vive una era de prosperidad, al dejar atrás las guerras de los siglos XVI-XVII, que salvaron la religión católica en Europa. En el siglo XVIII España multiplica el territorio imperial por 2 (reconquista de Italia en 1734, derrotando a Austria, adquisición de Luisiana, grandes llanuras, costa occidental de Canadá, parte de Alaska, Florida, Uruguay, Guinea Ecuatorial, llegada a Tahití...). Algunas de las grandes victorias contra los británicos se hacen en tiempos de los borbones, que reforman la flota y las fortalezas españolas en todo el mundo: Más de 400 barcos británicos capturados en las guerras de 1727 y 1739-48, en especial durante la batalla de Cartagena de Indias en 1741 (50 barcos británicos hundidos en esa campaña), bloqueo español de Inglaterra, 1779-82, con la captura de dos flotas británicas de 24 y 55 barcos (entre ellas 39 fragatas de guerra) lo que hunde la bolsa de Londres. Por eso España da la indendencia a USA y el dólar español. También, como sabes, con las victorias en Luisiana, Florida, Centro América, Bahamas y Menorca. Victorias contra los británicos en Puerto Rico 1797, y las 3 victorias contra Nelson ese año, capturándolo a él en Tenerife. También tuvimos algunas derrotas, como Gibraltar (una base inexpugnable, como Cartagena de Indias), Cabo Passaro 1718 (que fue un ataque a traición sin declaración de guerra previa británica), Cabo San Vicente, Trinidad y Tobago y Trafalgar 1805, donde perdimos 11 barcos. Pero ganamos en Argentina y Uruguay en 1806-07, capturando a los casacas rojas y generales británicos. España mantuvo a raya a los británicos. El problema fueron los agentes revolucionarios y el imperio hegemónico de Napoleón. Él terminó destruido, con París ocupada, pero eso convulsionó mucho Europa y América, con muchas revoluciones en Francia, Alemania, Italia (sólo se salvaron las islas, que podían detener a los agentes revolucionarios). Pero España ya tenía hecho su legado mundial. Español, como idioma materno ahora, segunda lengua después del chino: 480 millones de hablantes maternos. 800 millones de católicos gracias a España. 200 millones en Europa y 100 millones en Asia.
