Prussia's Seven Years' War, 1758-1762 (All Parts)

The British historically only fought with bows and today only fight at sea because they're TERRIFIED of having to fight anyone directly (like men); no wonder the modern-day British default war strategy (applied in both world wars) consists of hiding their tiny island while keeping an oversized navy to prevent anyone from landing there (thus avoid having to face the enemy) and the most important part which is to BEG the United States (Britain's historic boyfriend, current owner and sugar daddy) to please come fight for them and save them. That's why they've made so much of the battle of Trafalgar when, in real-life, it had a little practical immediate effect and Napoleon barely sighed when receiving the news; but the British keep celebrating that victory because fighting on sea is all they can do, whenever they fight at land they get their sorry asses kicked even against "inferior" enemies such as Elphinstone's army in Afghanistan, Isandlwana, the American revolutionary war, Dunkirk, by the Jews at Palestine, the Dutch at Medway (after which the British lost their fleet which meant their island was open to invasion after which they panicked and surrendered ending the war in whatever terms they could get no matter how unfavorable rather than fighting like men), Buenos Aires (twice) and Singapore, among many many others; and the only victories at sea they've scored have been by surprise attacks (such as the battle of the River Plate), ambushes (just like they did at the battle of Jutland or Cape Matapan) or by using overwhelming numbers (like they did with the Bismark: in the first encounter 2 German ships, including the Bismarck, fought against 3 British ships which included the most powerful British ship, the HMS Prince of Wales, known as "the pride of the Royal Navy" and the Bismarck alone defeated the 3 British ships and easily destroyed the HMS Prince of Wales, after which the British fled and only came back in overwhelming numbers, sending 12 ships against the Bismarck). That's why in Corunna they used their favorite tactic: be defeated and escape by sea (the same one used in Dunkirk); by the way, Wellington's only tactic consisted of hiding behind a hill and attacking only when the enemy lowered his guard while having an ally do most of the fighting; also explaining why during all of the wars between Britain and France the British only strategy consisted of conquering small irrelevant colonies with overwhelming forces which were their only direct victories. Also, they have no problem whatsoever betraying their allies to further its interests such as when they bombarded Copenhagen even though Denmark wasn't at war with Britain (they did this to destroy the Danish fleet so Napoleon couldn't use it to invade Britain if he conquered Denmark), or when the French surrendered in World War II after the British sent only a symbolic force (which achieved nothing and was defeated) and the British demanded the French hand over all of their ships to them (they were terrified that Hitler could use them to invade Britain) and when the French refused the British immediately forgot about their so-called "allies" and attacked the French fleet by surprise at Mers-el Kebir; and there's also the fact that the French surrendered because Churchill (supposed "tough guy") wrote them off and refused to send reinforcements, instead choosing to keep his forces in Britain in a sad attempt to deter an invasion and to improve his bargaining position during peace talks after the Germans won which he thought would happen. Or when they betrayed the Portuguese (supposedly their oldest allies with whom they'd maintained an alliance treaty since 1386 although the Portuguese have never really seen any benefits while the British have) by sending them an ultimatum in 1890 demanding them to evacuate some of their African colonies and once they did they quickly moved to occupy these areas just so they could have a continuous land connection between South Africa and Egypt or during the Seven Years War: the British always seek a powerful ally with a powerful land army (as the British are too cowardly to fight like men) to protect them and fight for them and the United States didn't exist yet so they tricked Prussia into joining them and paid the Prussians to fight on the continent in their place but as soon as the British attained their goals in the other theaters of the war they immediately forgot about their Prussian "allies" and suddenly stopped the cash flow to Prussia and abandoned them just at the height of the war, leaving the Prussians to their own devices to fight alone against France, Austria and Russia, almost resulting in the destruction of Prussia, something every country in Europe took note of and is also why during the Circassian genocide when Russian captured the British ship Vixen (then delivering aid) the British loudly threatened war but backed down when they couldn't find any ally to do the actually fighting for them. During the Napoleonic Wars, the British were at their worst, paying others to fight for them, causing the Emperor of Austria to say "The English are flesh traffickers, they pay others to fight in their place", while Napoleon said the British were "a people of cowardly marine merchants".

Strange that the Austrian emperess is called Maria Theresa in English. In Germany and Austria, we call her Maria Theresia, with an aditional „i“.

Having your script read by a German speaker is a touching gesture, and your family may very well appreciate it.
For an English-speaking audience, however, I suggest you use somebody who speaks English.

I wanna point a fact a heard of, about the Mongols of Ghengis Khan: the army was composed of many groups and sub-groups, the tiniest being a 10 man unit, a tumen. And the rules were : if one of them surrenders/flees/is captured, all 9 others were put to death.
So, it obviously makes you wanna stand stall and fill the gaps, if one guy falls down. You can't do anything else, the threat is serious.
Well, Russians, I know aren't "mongols" so to speak, but it's a country that has lived with this specific "way" for a long time, and it's kind of traditional to them.
I mean, the Russian soldiers, wether in this or that century, all have this trait.
They can be slaughtered, and still not flee or surrender.

Where is leuthen, and rossbach???

I dont know why he remove and that is a true that Croat soldiers catch a Friedrich the Great his tent,flag and chessboard

Your animated maps have rendered traditional military historiography extinct. Speaking of extinction, can I write you a check? Possibly you could collaborate with Antony Beevor. He could read the narrative, which would greatly help your audience, and you could work on a WWII series similar to your excellent Seven Years War!

Disgusting how men were forced to fight

Me finding out I have ancestors from Prussia 😮

Weird start, no background, seems to start part way through

Joer que coñxo

7 years or how ever long it takes to save the homeland.

why did the Austrians first have 90,000 men under Daun and then only 40,000 or 55,000 with Lazy at Torgau? where is the rest?

The narrator talks like his parents are in the other room and hes not supposed to be making youtube videos

I'd say cut down on the face time, show more maps

Just curious, what are the sources? I tried finding them, but I don’t see them. Great doc btw

You know things get serious when Friderick's picture grows up to the whole screen and when French army insted of symbols get numbers

普鲁士非常像中国2300年前秦国！都同边境上发展，同时发展军功激励士兵，同样的军国主义。Prussia is very much like the Qin State of China 2300 years ago! Both developed with the border, while developing military merit to motivate soldiers, the same militarism.

Wow. Du travail si riche ! Plus de trois heures de données précieuses ! Renversant !

Having watched Barry Lyndon made me very interested on this war

These AI generated images are really messing with me 😂

Nobody likes the inflationary use of AI pictures........
Everything looks cheap...

I just noticed that pretty much every occurrence of "thousand" in your videos, when referring to manpower, is enunciated as "thooouuuusand."
I like it.

Not to highjack your great work, but on a slightly related topic. The channel K&G has purged most of their videos on Prussia. A channel devoted to "Kings and Generals" has almost no content on Prussia. Really weird, like conspiracy levels weird.
