    7:48 "The Spanish empire takes a negative view of British domination, Spain then goes to war with France." Yeah well that makes sense
  • @ffarkasm
    Austria: "Good job Russia, we are almost in Berlin. Let's finish the conquest and eradicate Prussia once and for all!" Russia: "You know what? I'm a big admirer of Prussia, I think I just take my army and go home." Austria: "Yo what...?"

    Can you do one on the Great 26 Year War currently taken place between my wife and I? In particular, the ongoing "Battle of Closet Space". She occupies 92% of the territory......the bloody conflict wages on.
  • @Gia1911Logous
    "Summary of the first world war" Ah, I see you're a man of culture
  • @why.soooserious
    Its just confusing when France and Britain fought each other than become allies than fought than become allies .. Its like having quarrels with your wife
  • The territories within the HRE weren't all ruled by Prince electors. They were ruled by various nobles and monarchs with titles such as count or Duke, all collectively known as "Princes".
  • @bigbadword
    The sick beats really capture the mood of the 18th century.
  • Was really surprised when I realized how complicated this war was. In my schools growing up this climax of european history was dumbed down to "a war between britain and france".
  • Now this is what the relationship of Great Britain and France was like. They wanted to tear each other's throats out. But when someone else tries to tear one of their throats out, they suddenly become bffs.
  • @RealLifeW0rld
    I consider the Seven Year's War (French and Indian Wars for Americans) as the FIRST True World War. The Napoleonic Wars as the 2nd World War. The Great War (WW1) as the Third World War. The 2nd Great War (WW2) as the Fourth World War. Because it simply makes sense to classify these wars like this because these all wars were fought on 5 to 7 continents not just one or two like the wars before them.

    @7:40 I thought that he said Peter the turd instead of Peter the third,which ironically would have been a fitting title for him.
  • @connor971
    Do a video on the hundred year war between England and France
  • @lucaspalmaa
    The War of Spanish Succession was also a world war with battles all over the World, a would be a fine vídeo as well. Great Work!
  • @nathanc939
    Russia and Austria: We defeated the prussians, should we take advandtage of it? - Nope, its not like we want to win this war.

    This was the best explanation of the Seven Years War and French Indian War I have found. The map and simplicity of it all made it very easy to understand. Make more of these.
