The Seven Years War: Crash Course World History #26

Video Overview & Insights

In which John teaches you about the Seven Years' War, which may have lasted nine years. Or as many as 23. It was a very confusing war. The Seven Years War was a global war, fought on five continents, which is kind of a lot. John focuses on the war as it happened in the Americas, Asia, and Africa. the "great" European powers were the primary combatants, but they fought just about everywhere. Of course, this being a history course, the outcomes of this war still resonate in our lives today. The Seven Years' war determined the direction of the British Empire and led pretty directly to the subject of Episode 28, the American Revolution.

Did he just casually make a "Dances with Wolves" reference?

It's a little funny that you say how easily defined wars are and then we get into how it's a debate between lasting 7 years or 23 years lol

That little quip at the start about you guys knowing the history of the flags made me realize how annoying viewers are lol

I've wanted to watch this series in its entirety since it first came out. Took me 10 years, but I finally got around to it and it's amazing to watch a few of the same videos 10 years apart. A better grasp of the scale and complexity of history has made me realize how impressive it is that you managed to make this entertaining, relatively short, and still give a coherent outline of world history.

Should of had a written language

Here because of middle school nostalgia

No Written language?? Pictographs, winter counts, and wampum, ring a bell. Most tribes had oral storytelling. Just because there’s no written language in white mans standards doesn’t mean they’re ignorant.

Exaggerations of enemy brutality to drum up support for a war ā€œIntelligence gathered by this and other governments leaves no doubt that the Iraq regime continues to possess and conceal some of the most lethal weapons ever devised. This regime has already used weapons of mass destruction against Iraq's neighbors and against Iraq's people.
The regime has a history of reckless aggression in the Middle East. It has a deep hatred of America and our friends. And it has aided, trained and harbored terrorists, including operatives of al Qaeda.ā€- George Bush 265,000-295,000 deaths 0 weapons of mass destruction found

The East India Company was responsible for the Opium Wars starting in the mid 1800's and this is also an area not covered which would be highly valuable considering the ramifications of the drug on humanity ever since. Big topic that's lost in the shadows.

When one thinks of "The Seven Years War"/"French & Indian War" (in colonial America) it really is the first, "World War 1, when you look at the vast geographic areas of the world (India) were the the fighting was done between Great Britain & France plus the "Ironies" soon to follow shortly in the American Revolution a decade later.

@garysara969

The American revolution was a war I wish never happened. it was The British against the British, that eventually became "Americans" and all over money.

So you completely ignored the European theatre and the rise of Prussia (which would become Germany.)


That's a straight up dislike there.
Listen ... Eurocentrism exists because for the last 300 years the world was shaped by Europe (not just Western Europe, Europe.)
So yes, it makes sense that recent history is eurocentric, because it so happened that European controlled more than half the world and had heavy influence on the rest.
