Be NICE and RESPECTFUL in the comments, folks.
I use some political terminology in this video that I'm sure will make people want to fight. But you can't fight in here, this is the war room!
Oh Historia Civilis you lovely fellow
Ofcourse! @Historia Civilis , surprised that you did no go towards interdependence with your description of Liberalism, how much would you say that increased cost of war due to more interconnectedness is part of the status quo? Also surprised you did not include Social Constructivism in your examples and instead went for Marxism, in current discourse, Social Constructivism I would say is a lot more relevant. Great video to see, nice to see you branching out!
Father Civilis has blessed us with another video 😩
La liberté ou la mort. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
He'll see the big board!🤣
You are witnessing history. This is the first Historia Civilis video in 6 years to not feature squares. Hopefully we shall not witness such sacrilege for another 6 years.
SAD! But good content nonetheless
*blaspheme
I saw some bullet points
hehehe you're right
What?? Unsubscribed.
This is an interesting path I didn't see coming.
HOWEVER: There is a lack of squares, and ghost spots
It was interesting as an exposition about the price of train tickets
But the representation of the persons through squares and armies through rectangles rendered the videos entertainig.
"You see, Baldrick. In order to prevent war in Europe two superblocs developed. Us, The French, and The Russians on one side, and The Germans and Austro-Hungary on the other. The idea was to have two vast opposing armies: each acting at the others deterrent. That way there could never be a war."
"But... this is a sort of a war. Isn't it sir?"
"Yes you see. There was a tiny flaw in the plan."
"What was that sir?"
"It was bollocks."
-Blackadder
Excellent excellent EXCELLENT reference
I came down here hoping someone had already made the reference. It's such a succinct way of describing the problem. (And is bloody hilarious)
oh no, history really did repeat itself. we are doing the exact same thing prior to ww1 but this time the arsenal is powerful enough to destroy humanity
That honestly was the saddest last episode of any show. Godspeed Capt. Bladder. May you never be poopoo'ed by Capt. Darling.

@@kseshshtern9968 Exactly
if you don't have 45% of your expenses going to 3 dudes that help you govern, you're doing something wrong
Do yall not spend all of your money on workshops and counting houses?
It's a somewhat backwards way of looking at it, though. In many societies before the early modern period, government spending was military spending plus a little bit of administration. It was only after the napoleonic wars that states had to decide whether to a) maintain massive military budgets, b) reduce government/military spending back down to pre-war levels or c) switch that government spending into non-military matters. Some people advocated for b), but the majority wanted to go for c) and the early forms of welfare and civilian state spending. That decision was repeated after WW1 and after WW2.

We still get the narration. Personally, I really missed that outro, so I'm glad it's back even though we're no longer in classical times.
The 50 years thing makes a lot of sense in a simple way, the people who start each war, almost definitely weren’t alive during the war the 50 years before and therefore don’t realise the catastrophic affects of a war.
That's sort of how fashion works too. Go to a college campus right now and you'll see girls wearing stuff that looks like bell bottoms and jumper pants. Fashion works in 40ish year cycles.
This is described in the Strauss-Howe generational theory, often called the 4th turning theory.
As humans now grow to be 75 years old, and the last threat of great war was the cuban missile crisis will we have another one on our hands in a few years?
@@maxgrozema1093 Well, the theory sees the last great tragedy as WW2. It then defines 4 phases/turnings:
1st phase is dominated by people who lived through the tragedy and will do anything to prevent another. Nikita Khrushchev would fall into this category. These are also the people who are focused on rebuilding.
2nd phase is dominated by people who experienced the aftermath of the tragedy and had the teachings of the people who dominated phase 1. They will continue the policies of those that preceded them as they are aware of the alternative. JFK would fall into this category.
3rd phase is dominated by people who neither experienced the tragedy directly nor the aftermath and had little contact with survivors. They are still aware of the tragedy and will continue on the path towards prosperity and try prevent another one from happening.
4th phase is dominated by people who had only passing education (ie. from history books at school) about the tragedy and do not consider the prevention of it a problem/policy goal, which will sooner or later lead to another world wide tragedy to happen. The last phase is called the 4th turning.
Reminds me of the quote, bad times create strong people , strong people create good times, good times create weak people and weak people create bad times.
“These people are known as sickos.”

@UA-cam Account someone clearly doesn't like looking through the materialist lense
@UA-cam Account you’re right ya know
@UA-cam Account My arse is it moral! Jeff Bezos could take a literal golden shower whilst his own employees rely on food banks. It’s depraved. I’m not saying communism is right but at least in theory it would be fair, it’s just never been used as much more than a tool to keep those at the top in power. I think the true answer, as many do, lies in the middle ground. Unfortunately democratic socialism is too close to the ‘red scare’ for many to accept it is objectively the way to provide the best quality of life to your people.
No matter what economic structure you believe is best, it is always going to be imperfect because it involves people, and those things can be notoriously imperfect

@@Ghost12314 No worries, we’re building up to one currently
@@nickrollstuhlfahrerson8659 between who? No one benefits from war now. There is no goal that the global powers cannot currently reach through peaceful means. Political ideology is no longer a source of conflict, basically everyone is using the same capitalist system and it doesn't look like it will change any time soon. Borders are extremely set, and with the exception of Russian and Chinese consolidation of their own borders, absolutely no one else would benefit from territorial expansion which was a key factor in all previous wars. You don't need to invade or conquer land through war to own and profit from it anymore. Economics are the name of the game right now, and the markets would crumble under the strain of a serious global war. As much as LARPERs would love for a WW3, it simply won't happen.
@@wimpykidragon if it were to happen, it would likely be over resources, like water. I would bet that if it would happen, it would because China and India would start slapping each other over rivers in the Himalayas.
@@CC-tl3zs except both India and China already own the sources of both their largest rivers. And those conflicts would also never escalate to global conflicts, which are the entire point of the video. You can't tell me you honestly think the modern European/American/Latino/African would ever be willing to die fighting a war in the Himalayas between China and India. There would be literally no one to "benefit" from such a conflict. Also water scarcity is a problem that is often misunderstood. Fresh water is not going to disappear from the world, regardless of temperature changes. Switzerland will always be a water-rich nation, because it is basically just mountains and rivers. Water poor regions, however, will simply get worse. California, regions around the sahel, and the like will become even drier and desertification will worsen. But the Yangtze will never dry. Australia may burn to the ground, but the Ganges will flow as always because India is by and large a very water-rich subcontinent. Though fun to watch and imagine in things like Mad Max, in real life, resource conflicts are really boring and basically never escalate to war. The biggest conflict I can think of relating to water, for example, is Ethiopia building a dam that basically controls the flow of water to the Nile, which upsets Egypt for obvious reasons. This is at most a regional conflict, and is exactly how such resource conflicts will continue to play out in the future.

"go ahead, fight me, I don't care" is a pretty good summary of the french revolution onto itself.
But the first clear expression of 'Nationalism' came with the French Revolution in 1789. It led to the transfer of sovereignty from the monarchy to the body of citizens.
"go ahead, fight me, I don't care" sounds like the beginning of a great power conflict.

It can be argued that the war of 1870 was extremely close to being a great power war, if the French army had not surrendered and Paris had not risen up in revolt.
This would continue the 50ish year pattern.
Bismark was wise enough to go after Denmark, Austria, and France in separate short wars. And even got France to attack him. Even if the War of 1870 had continued, I don't think it would have expanded nor lasted much longer. Napoleon III was not the commander his uncle had been, so even if he had escaped capture, things would have gone down hill for France quite quickly.
the Crimean War of 1853-56 was most definitely a Great power war
I mean the big 19th century war was the Taiping Rebellion, 30 to 50 million dead, the only war to have a larger death toll is WWII.
@@jonsouth1545 Just because a war involved great powers doesnt mean its a great war, the Crimean war was a centralized conflict that stayed in Crimea
@@rowanmurphy4986 as I previously stated in a other reply the Crimean war did not stay in the Crimea with campaigns also happening on the Caucuses the Danube in the Pacific in the Balkans and in the Baltic with the Royal Naval distruction of Russian coastal forts protecting At St Petersburg being the deciding factor in the war prompting the Tsar to surrender. The Crimean war had a bigger geographic spread than any war outside WW1, WW2 and 7 years war

It's stranger still when there is an explicit announcement that more videos will be made prior to the ghosting of the channel.
About 100 minutes on the Congress of Vienna is pretty legendary
People in the comments are saying this has aged poorly... no it hasn't? The Russo-Ukrainian war is not(yet) a Great Power conflict as long as NATO does not get involved directly. If anything, the Realist and Liberal analysis of the current situation is very enlightening and this video can serve as the starting point for understanding what has gone wrong, what is being done, and what can yet be done for the current crisis.
I agree. The long peace does not preclude war between great powers, they just stop them from spreading and escalating. A la the Crimean war that only lasted 6 months and was extremely limited in scope compared to the Napoleonic wars and the world wars. And Ukraine is neither a great power either. It is a minor player that gets bullied by the major player in its geopolitical sphere just like every other minor country, albeit with a lot less subtlety.
You can tell that a lot of people commenting that this hasn't aged well aren't that old. They probably don't even remember the beginning of the wars in Afghanistan or Iraq, and how it might seem like the world is going to hell in a handbasket then, let alone Vietnam or the Iran-Iraq war, or the dissolution of Yugoslavia.
People are also forgetting the fall of Yugoslavia.
Arguably worse than what’s going on now
@@Pyrus425 I’m not sure when that was, but I think it’s the amount of photos and videos from the people in Ukraine every day that makes this feel so big. We see uncensored evidence of what is going on, and it can be found in minutes, which makes it a lot more emotionally relevant maybe?
@@Eli-pi4eh I think that's a big part of it. Social media is so prevalent now. Also Zelenskyy keeps making broadcasts pleading with other nations for support.
Russia invaded Crimea a few years ago, and Georgia a few years before that. I don't recall people being as shocked or appalled even though the circumstances weren't too different.
I'm impressed you where able to sunmerize the French Revolution with out mentioning Napoleon once...
In this case he actually isn't too important, Napoleon didn't do much to build the peace, he took advantage of chaos and war. He was way too ambitious and full of himself to be content with peace. It's clear considering there were multiple times where peace could have been secured and he choose war 9 times out of 10, even at detriment to himself and beyond the capabilities of the French Army (Russia, Haiti, Spain). Napoleons attempts at peace were always preparations and buying time for another war with any of Frances neighbors (Treaty of Amiens).

@@bezahltersystemtroll5055 octavian's real name was the same one as julius caesar's following his adoption and at the time would be called caesar. It's weird to call him caesar but it's not wrong.
@@lt2660 ah, you're right.
You mean Marx Anthony?

This was absolutely fantastic. I had never much learned anything significant about Napoleon and it was like the perfect next step after binge watching all of this channel's videos on more ancient history. I adore how you explain things in their necessary detail but also talk about the implications and effects of these things. That you take an opinion and stance on what happens helps so much.
I'd like to think that through analysis and explanation like this, we can all use this information to make a better world for everyone living in it!!! Thank you for much for your service, lol.
This glosses over Napoleon a lot. It was much more amazing then any other man in history.
As a classically trained student of International Relations, I have so many bones to pick with this video. But at least you're covering the topic, so kudos. People can do their own follow-up research and come to their own conclusions.
Only so much depth you can squeeze out of a 20 minute video. At least he provides sources in the description for people that want to more in depth research.
@@Calvin_Coolage I'm trying to be nice here. Don't force me to actually bring critiques. It's not just lacking depth, it's misleading at best. And none of the links appear to directly cover the IR theory (which is what I'm whinging about). He has sources for military expenditures, histories of war and peace, etc., but no IR texts. His coverage of IR theory sounds like a haphazard reading of the cliff notes from the main text that I read in school, with all of the gaps filled in with his own assumptions and everything bent to fit into his narrative.
Like I said, it's better than nothing for anyone who is completely new to IR theory, but if anyone thinks it accurately reflects the theories presented, or the field as a whole, they will be sorely mistaken.
I don't know what kind of metaphor would work for you, but imagine a video that covers programming languages, and only mentions HTML, JavaScript, and Python. Oh, and those three programming languages also represent a holistic triangle of possible ways to program--it's not that other languages aren't mentioned, they are implied out of existence. And the video says things like JavaScript is like Java but with better scripting and Python developers only do functional programming. If you knew anything about programming--let alone if it was your passion--you'd be cringing. But besides those egregious errors, at least the other broad strokes are generally in the ballpark...
@@noeticjustice1535 Any of the stuff that wasn't about historical events went over my head anyways. Besides someone else in the comments pointed out how the Crimean War kinda tanks this wholr idea 19th century peace in Europe.
@@noeticjustice1535 Yeah, generally, the so-called "Great Peace" of the 19th century doesn't sound so impressive when you think about the wars that these Great Powers waged to make new colonial empires by working together. Such a peace was bound to shatter when Germany was formed and broke the status quo where uber-macho politicians demanded/expected colonial empires just becuase they were Great Powers. Japan and the US took up this practice too, and their own rise only made the Concert of Europe more obsolete.
But I'm nowhere near as learned in IR, so these are just my opinions.
@@noeticjustice1535 Oh, and for the record, as much as I enjoy this channel, I would much rather you write 3 paragraphs actually expanding on the subject. If you don't want to critique and shit on the channel, cool, but just stating that you know better, but don't want to is just pointless.
I like how you are gradually taking your channel to the next level, going from concrete retellings of events to underlying abstract concepts.
It's part of the history for this setting
Love your videos man. You sparked my interest of classical history many years ago. Keep up the great work.
We’ve missed you! We love this channel!!

Victoria 2 comes to mind
@@road-eo6911 EUIV came to mind for me
@@saahiliyer11 yeah, like he doesn't play crusader kings or Imperator Rome, let's not fool ourselves
He has tweeted about calling out of work to play CK3 when it came out. So yes he is a map gamer

Uh oh
@Historia Civilis No more videos? I miss you! =(
There is something oddly satisfying about how this video is 19:18 long.

Hopefully this is the key to long lasting peace.
with the nuclear option, yes
@@nothernstar2576 Although a weak yes, there were a few close calls.
@@steven_003 close calls were everywhere, but with nuclear everyone on every lecel thinks again because everyone understands that if this Pandora box is open, everyone will die or at least be fricked up badly

What an amazing channel. Truly a bastion of accuracy and diligent research in the arena of UA-cam history content.
Brilliant video. Really enjoyed it, thank you. Can’t wait for the next instalments.
I appreciate that this episode ends at 19:18
Coincidence or planned?
*Haven't watched it yet, just chuckled at the total time*
Says 19:19 for me

Hey @Historia Civilias. Just been listening to your videos for about 4 years now and I love your content. You always have great quality and I can tell it takes a lot of work to make your videos. Keep up the good work
I've gone through your entire channel twice now and I need More. Your style of presentation is perfect. No pressure but I demand you upload faster plz.
Time to relisten to the "Revolutions" podcast episodes about the French Revolution and the Revolutions of 1848!
then after that mine as well listen to the history of rome for the 10th time
I listen to mike for like 6 hours a day at work once for almost two weeks and I’m still not done with the French Revolution
@@njb1126 just wait until you get to the Russian Revolutions!
@@raphaelborges9795 wait I thought Mika ducan hasnt done the russian revolution yet

Last time I was this early to a Historia Civilis video, Caesar hadn't crossed the Rubicon.
This video is very well organized and explained without derailment, which usually plagues a lot of explanations of topics such as these. I hope to see a whole series of videos on this topic specifically.
Donde estás?!! Han pasado 4 meses y me despierto cada mañana esperando ver algún nuevo video tuyo 😭

Hey your videos are allways so wonderful to watch, please keep posting such amazing content.
This is an interesting way of setting up and explaining the paradigm of things, and honestly I feel excited because I've arrived at something similar in my view of the same things, although I probably am not as familiar with as much historic detail. I am stoked for a new exploring this idea further
