@Billy Corgan ugly people going to war
It's important to get things clear. The Castile and Aragon Crowns took part of a Personal Union till 1716. So it did not exist any state called Spain during the Spanish Succession war. It may lead to confusion to name Charles II of Spain since didn't exist any state called Spain. He was King of Castile, Aragon, etc. Therefore this both states were confronted during the Spanish Succession war since they didn't agree what King to crown.
You left quite a lot out here. For a start the French army by the end of the war was in tatters they had lost every battle against the duke of Marlborough and prince Eugene of Savoy and the Grand alliance was on the verge of marching into France. It was all over for France but then as so often happened in European conflicts intrigue played its part. You see Sarah Churchill the Duke of Marlborough's wife had always Queen Anne's favourite until Alice hill came along and supplanted her as her favourite. Anyway to cut a very long story short the the queen fell out with Sarah big with the result being her husband the Duke being relieve of his command. Anyway Lord Harley a parliamentarian saw which way the wind was blowing( especially now that Marlborough was out of the way )and decided to make a deal with the French without telling the allies. So Harley had the Duke of Ormond put in command of the British Forces with orders not to engage the French army. So with British Army not being allowed to engage the french together with the Mercenaries who were being paid by the British the war came to a abrupt end. There is of course a lot detail than i could go into here but its time to cook the dinnerlol
Great video, greetings from Madrid
Where did your buddy go to Basic at?

👑RÍOS FAMILY 👑 it refers to the ROYAL HOUSE OF ASTURIAS where the RÍOS👑 last name most likely originated from 👑
Moral lessons of the story all monarchs of the European states at the time were wanting to have bigger slice of the pie
God knows where this person got its info, but it's far away from the truth. Useless video.
@Field Marshal I look forward to it.
I'm trying to make a more truthful series on this war on my channel, if you're interested. No bias for either side.
Oh boy, the farmer saying "¿Que?" after the speech killed me.
Que?
Well here we go again 2020-21 going to be the worst Recession in history for the UK.
TFW the music on a TRvision video make you want to play Victoria 2.
You forgot to mention the spanish hero Blas de Lezo
Hate to break it to you, but he’s irrelevant here
The qué got me
Make one about the war of Quadruple Alliance, 1717－1720, France, England, Austria an the dutch against Spain. Spain was “defeated”, but suffered 4.350 casualties, the allies suffered 24.000, in the following years the spanish continue fighting in Italy defeating the austriands and recovered half of Italy that has been Spain the 300 years before.
"Que?"
Y'all mfs trippin🤣🤣
Derek about to get so many ladies in his dms
2:47 DIED!
While being remembered for his disabilities(which he was not to blame for), most overlook his contributions especially as a patron of the academic world. It was due to his initiatives that formal higher education was introduced and started to spread in South America. He granted Cedulas and directly supported the foundation of several universities(many of them still in function). One example is the National University of San Marcos in Peru which also happens to be the oldest continuously functioning higher education institution in the Americas.
Ah yes, victoria 2 music
Why would Charles II choose Philip de Anjou as his successor though, considering that France and Spain had been rivals for centuries
Basically there were three factions that hoped to inherit the Spanish Empire, the French, the Austrians and also Joseph Ferdinand the son of the Bavarian Elector Maximilian II. Emanuel and his Austrian wife Maria Antonia whose mother was the daughter of the Spanish king Philip IV. Charles II. wanted that the Bavarian crown prince would inherit the Spanish Empire (which probably would’ve avoided the war of the Spanish succession), but the Bavarian prince died in 1699 at the age of six, thus only the French and Austrian factions remained. The French prince was only his second choice after the Bavarian prince had died.
The funniest thing about this video is that he can talk about the SPANISH succession war, but incredibly he forgets to talk about SPAIN. In Spain the war of succession caused a civil war, between the kingdom of Aragon and that of Castile. The old kingdom of Aragon fought on the Austrian side and Castile on the Bourbon side. In fact, today's Catalan conflict comes from that war. In fact, this war resulted in the loss of part of the possessions of the kingdom of Aragon such as Milan, Naples, Sicily, Sardinia, Menorca, Gibraltar or the Spanish Netherlands. It had direct implications in all the Spanish possessions in America, which at that time were 2/3 of the current USA, all of Central America, most of South America and the Philippine Islands. And of all these relevant facts, the only thing it says about Spain is, ¿QUE?, It's ridiculous. How can you ignore that part of history and understand what the War of Succession meant? That war marked the beginning of the destruction of the Spanish Empire and the birth of the British Empire. The war of the Spanish succession radically changed the balance of powers in Europe….¿Qué? omg
Do I really have to point out that, that is not an armchair?
Blenheim is pronounced 'Blen- um', not 'Blen - Hyme' !
Good luck Derick
You forgot to mention that not only Hungary rose up in Austria but also catalan speaking territories in the mainland rebelled clearly against the french dinasty... Actually determing the fate of these people for centuries to come... To put it clearly, not all population in Spain was precisely happy about the Borbons taking over
my dude didnt even mention the siege of Barcelona :'I
Nor did he mention Almansa, Malplauqet, Denain, Brihuega, Villaviciosa, etc.
2:20 dont mind this comment I'm just mind setting book marks.
4:20
Anglo-centric
If you really think about it, the Austrian Empire got stronger while at the same time this could really be a trigger for it's deaths. With the events of 1867, the movement for Hungarian nationalism in the empire was really part of the growing nationalism for other groups in Austria. Also it makes you wonder how much of slightly weaker Austrian Empire could of effected the Napoleonic Wars.
Spain needed to watch the AE ;(
Que?!
QUE?
France was bullied
How did that work? England and Portugal allies but at war?
Habsburgs are literally the Targaryens of our world
France in 1714: defeated France in 1799: I’m back, bitches!!
G e k o l o n i s e e r d
The occupation of Madrid was made by the portuguese leas by Marquis das Minas, not by English contingents
In this video it is only Commented that the Allies Occupied València, Barcelona and Mallorca. Which is not true, València, Catalonia, Aragon and the Balearic Islands. They allied with the Allies in 1705. And it was Spain who in 1707 Occupied València and Va allargar. Barcelona in 1714 (after a siege of a year and a half) and Mallorca in 1715.
Good luck Derek
Message of the day. Don't marry your cousin if you don't want to ruin your country's hexemony on the European continent
Ah England going to war with an alliance to ensure a balance of power in europe... And takes literaly 99% of the new teritories.
@Dod o ahh I see, sorry
@Dod o In the sense that we were taking less risk? Of course! The war was at our border
@Dod o They didn't, the most troops were paid by the Dutch
so savoy were the ones who began the age-old tradition
Imagine how things would've gone if France won. The franco-spanish empire would've been HUGE
@3.21 Hungarian flag on the ship but no shores for Hungary :( we have an admiral though, and the Danube
I appreciate that you made it as simple as possible, but you also mentioned 20 names that I had never heard of before XD
Britain is too much imperialist. They require too much too feed for their land demands.
Portugal was in the Grand alliance. Portugal has never been at war with the UK.
Que?
Frankenstein was the scientist not the monster/creature
Fascinating video. I had wondered what was going on in Europe around this time. Now I'm a little better informed. Nice job guy.
No mention of france🤬
Stop say france lossed this war France win and LouisXIV grand son can be king of spain
@Aaron Godinez yes but france always figth coalition it's why france was and is the most powerfull of european cuntry
France didn't win or lose this war necessarily, the war ended in a compromise. Yes, Philip of Anjou became monarch of Spain, but they had to cede all of Spain's territories outside of Iberia to Austrian Habsburgs.
Philip recognised as King of Spain, renounces his place in the French succession; Spain cedes Spanish Netherlands, Naples*, Milan and Sardinia to Austria; Sicily to Savoy; Gibraltar and Menorca to Britain; France gains the Principality of Orange and the Ubaye Valley Creation of Dutch Barrier; Britain gains commercial rights in Spanish Empire *Would win back in the War of The Polish Succession.
I’m dutch and I never heard about this in History class. Very interesting video thanks
Our army back then was the 2nd most numerous in Europe. Only France had a bigger army
It's pronounced "NEW-f'n-LAND, not "New Finland". Lol.
One of the most important wars caused by marrying relatives.
Despite all the wars brought on by succession disputes when a monarch dies, there is no video discussing this severe problem with autocratic rule. The Ottomans killed their siblings when one of the sons took control. European history is littered with wars of succession, often disguised as civil wars. Roman Imperial history is one dynastic struggle & assassination after another. This needs to be discussed, and then current autocratic and semi-autocratic regimes should be analyzed. What will happen in Russia when Putin dies? How will Xi be succeeded?? Will Saudi succession be smooth? etc. The major gift of democracies is the end of dynastic succession wars. Look at how smoothly administration changed when FDR and JFK died. I don't think most people understand this. It is an important issue, that needs study and explanation.
This 'Que??' destroyed me xD
The stuarts send their regards
Why did I just find this...lol(I'm a longtime subscriber btw)
A funny line from the Charles II wiki page: " Charles suffered ill-health throughout his life and has been described as "short, lame, epileptic, senile and completely bald before 35, always on the verge of death but repeatedly baffling Christendom by continuing to live"
Who ever wrote that is a hero
02:47 "[espera...] qué?" ([wait...] whaaaaat?)
Can you make a video about the War of the Austrian Succession as well, please? 🇦🇹⚔️
1:16 Quack
Meanwhile in Northeastern Europe
Sweden is absolutely demolishing Denmark, Russia and Poland. Seriously, Charles XII was really a great king...
*¿QUÉ ME ESTAS CONTANDO?*
he he he he
I’m telling you the Victoria 2 music just makes it
