      Not completely correct, the guy was Peter the III, and he was a fanboy of Frederick the Great. So when he went to power he didn't withdraw from the war, he actually made russia join on the side of prussia. But this wasn't long-lived, he was let's say made retired by her wife, Catherine the Great which decide to have Russia leave the war.
      Fun fact: Catherine the Great, was german and the daughter of one of Frederick's general. It was common for Tzars in Russia to marry a Princess from the HRE, because they needed quarter of nobility and being from not powerful kingdom they could have no claims to the throne.

    Historically Prussia won not only because Frederick was insanely lucky, but also because the "war leader" was Great Britain, who absolutely won on the colonial front (which was the one that mattered the most). For some reason Eu4 put Prussia as the war leader, allowing great britain to peace out.

    That debt shifting is so wrong. It cost you interest every time you take a loan and pay it back early. You pay the same interest rate as if you just keep the loan for the full time. You took like 50 loans to shift around cost 50 x 5 % interest rate (or what ever the rate is). Just fix all the issues and pay them back when they come to an end if you can. You don't go bankrupt anyway if you fix the issues.

What you have to do is get free company and walk around with 70k deathstack stackwiping all stacks of 30k or less while they try to siege you so you get +2 dice rolls. After a certain number of years as long as you’re not full sieged, france and russia will be willing to peace out even if you barely fought them, and then it’s trivial to beat saxony and austria

    23:15 This is bs. Francis-Stephen I. (called Francesco in the game) was from the Lorraine dynasty.
    Through his marriage with Maria-Therese from Austria they took over the Habsburgs whose male line died out with Charles VI., Marias father. According to the salian law, which was the standart in the HRE, the Habsburgs should ve become the Lorraines from Marias sons Joseph II. and Leopold II. onwards. But they kinda cheated and called themselves "Habsburg-Lorraine". Thats how the dynasty is still named nowadays.
    Btw, Francis-Stephen I. was in fact the emperor. Women werent allowed to be emperor, thats why Maria-Therese made the electors pick her husband.

  • @Aleph3575

    Historically, Prussia only "won" this war because the Russian Tsarina died and her son loved the Prussians so he whitepeaced the war and gave everything they had occupied back to the Prussians even commanding some of the formerly occupying forces to join the Prussians against Austria. This action would eventually lead to his overthrowing and the Russian Throne being given to his wife, Catherine (later known as Catherine the Great). The main "victory" for Prussia in this war was that they managed to hold on to Silesia, which they had taken from Austria during the War of the Austrian Succession (considered one of Frederick the Great's greatest victories) and Maria Theresa's desire to reclaim the territory was the main reason she was so eager to join the war in the first place, having already been planning to attack Prussia for it when hostilities broke out between France and Britain due to colonial disputes. At the time, Silesia was one of the most industrious and resource heavy provinces in all of Europe (and would remain so for the next several hundred years) so its loss was a big blow to the Austrians. Prussia's famous military, however, was devastated during the war and would not recover until the late stages of the Napoleonic Wars after they were humiliated at the Battle of Jena. Perhaps the greatest victory for Prussia was Frederick the Great's ability to manipulate the story so that most people would forget how close he had come to complete defeat and only remember his amazing victories and reforms.
    Related note, this is also why the Duke of Tuscany was the Emperor of the HRE in the game. He was Theresa's husband, and because the Pragmatic Sanction didn't extend to the HRE, Theresa was forced to allow him to be the Emperor rather than take the throne herself during peace negotiations of the War of the Austrian Succession.
    The greater effects of this war would be seen in the colonial theaters as GB was able to make significant gains in North America due to its victory. However, Lord Bute did not approve of the war his predecessor started and decided to pass most of the financial burden from the war onto the colonies using the need for additional garrisons as the reasoning. Hence, this war helped directly lead to the Revolutionary War in 1776, as well as the French Revolution and rise of Napoleon afterwards.

    Francis I was married to Empress Maria Theresa, so Tuscany wasn’t the seat of the HRE emperor it was still Austria, buuuut EU4 doesn’t exactly reflect that well with its game mechanics like Maria Theresa is meant to be the ruler of Austria at this time, but mechanically women can’t lead the HRE so Emperorship is just given to another country ruled by Maria Theresa and her husband to fit the game.

EU4 just doesn’t do history very well given the massive mechanical constraints and the factor of fun. It’s a fun game, but if you’re looking to learn history stay away.

      1. France and Scotland. You guys don't really have much clashing in terms of expansion in Europe and can help each other in wars, especially against your main enemy England.
      2. Ottomans and Tunis. Ottomans are a powerhouse and a great place to learn the game for how forgiving they are in general and Tunis can raid the Mediterranean and can shoot for reforming Andalusia.
      3. Muscovy or Poland and the Byzantine Empire. Form Russia/The Commonwealth and Rome by defeating the Ottomans and most of Europe.
      4. Bengal and Malacca. Dominate trade in India and the Spice Islands to keep the European colonizers at bay. Powerful fleets not optional.
      5. England and Brandenburg. Help each other form your respective empires and dominate the world. Whoever plays Brandenburg would do well to open with either Diplomatic or Espionage Ideas to better help with managing AE in the Holy Roman Empire, assuming you don't work together to dismantle it in the first place.

      Francis Stephen was then granted the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, as the last Medici Grand Duke had died the same day that Stanislaw was granted Lorraine. Under the terms of the Treaty of Vienna, Lorraine would pass to the French crown upon Stanislaw's death.

    about Tuscany being the emperor, the name of the guys is Francis II, which i think is the husband of Marie Therese of Austria, as the HRE laws only accept men, so her husband became the emperor, that is, the previous duke of Lorraine, he gained Tuscany as compensation for losing Lorraine(his ancestral domains), however i dunno why his dynasty is Habsburg and not Lorraine, as the surviving habsburg house is nowadays refered as Habsburg-Lorraine, that is, they are agnatic(patrilinial) descendants of Lorraine and enatic(matrilineal) descendants of Hapsburg, i got a little confused about the name being Francis II as Francis II of Tuscany is the Francis I of HRE, there is another francis II who became emperor, but this one is his grandson, he is Francis II in tuscuny because there was a medici francis before, yeah, the game kinda messes everything when translating real things
