Frederick III - German Emperor who could have Stopped the World Wars
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 січ 2019
- German Empire lost more than 2.5 million during the I World War. The empire was abolished and the country was set on the path to the II World War. However, there was a turning point three decades before, which could have averted this path. This is the tragic, but interesting story of Frederick III and how his death possibly changed the course of World history.

Hey its me. Your favorite subscriber. You still make great content, but as a small bit of advice make videos at your own pace. Dont rush videos out to fill a demand. Keep up your good content. I enjoyed this one.
Also i still hope you are still considering doing the battles of the spanish civil war.
It is not necessarily great that WW1and WW2 did not happen. Because humanity will never see the consequences of world wars first hand and because of that the first world war would be a nuclear war. Plus all most all countries will have nukes because nobody is a Sole Superpower, there won't be League of Nations or even United Nations to regulate those nuclear weapons.
Can you make a video on the Battle of The Red Cliffs
WW1= the battle of queen Victoria's grand children.

Frederick is one of the great 'What Ifs' of history
Yep. Contact Monsieur Z, Whatifist and Althisthub
That wouldn't change much. You've got to understand Britain's role in the situation as a whole. Britain had been pitting the entire continent against each other just so no one can unite Europe, which is Britain's worst nightmare until the US started to become a hemisphere power during the mid-19th century onward (which then became essentially 'don't get the Americans mad at us' and 'hope Congress keeps the USN starved for cash' alongside pitting Europe against each other).
Fredrick... Fredrick would be in the same position as Wilhelm no matter what he did because Britain will do it's damnest to ensure that Germany is subservient to Britain in all respects.
Aaron Neumann What on earth are you talking about...?
In the 1800s the US had a policy of self isolationism and lassiez faire politics.
Britain did not pit the Europeans against each other. In fact they were largely caught up in a European conflict. British interests lied in its overseas empire, not European dominance. In fact, post renaissance the British never tried to garrison or occupy European Nations, despite having multiple opportunities to. In fact, the British largely stayed out of European politics until either German or France attempted dominance - due to this, the British have largely been the main guarantor of European peoples and nations (certainly central and Western) independence and Freedom since Napoleon.
In fat, the only reason any European (minus the irish) can call themselves free today, is because of British actions in WW2
@@TheTrueAdept Britain did that for CENTURIES though. First against the Spanish, then the Dutch, then the French (in the Seven Years War and later against Napoleon) and finally the German Empire. Plus, When nearly all mainland Europe beat itself up, the British got all the more stronger, since their homeland 80% of the time would remain unscathed. They wanted more than no possibility of Europe uniting against them, they wanted no potential rivals AT ALL. The more turmoil, the better for them. Even the Austrians, who fought Napoleon alongside the British, angrily pointed out who the true victor ultimately was. Britain's had some great moments in history (see World War II, etc), but also some VERY controversial or scandalous ones.
@@elemperadordemexico yeah, the reality was that Britain had a very 'we are the only real Empire in Town' mentality geopolitically, and it ensured that it will get into a war against Germany.
The name Frederick means "peaceful ruler", it has never been more appropriate
Only because of..
Frederick the Great
There was the famous Frederick II in Palermo, and the lesser known Frederick III, who didn't like war and consolidated Habsburg power through inheriting.
Wilhelm II was also peaceful.

He was Friedrich III of Germany, being that Prussia was the core of the German Empire.
@@MrShaneVicious just look up the prussian history about Great-elector Friedrich Wilhelm I of bradenburg and king Friedrich wilhelm I of Prussia, even they inherit same land, they didnt share Same number.. so that same goes about being Emperor and King
No, he was crowned as Friedrich III Emperor of Germany continuing the Prussian counting. He actually wanted to name himself Friedrich IV in tradition of the Holy Roman Empire, but this wasn‘t possible due to constitutional concerns at the time.
You are wrong, UtopiaBasti, as Jayperion pointed out above. He used the Prussian regnal name "Friedrich III." as his imperial name as well. He personally wanted to use the name Friedrich IV., but Bismarck was against it. The name "Friedrich I." was not even considered.

The most tragic thing for me is that some doctors diagnosed Frederick with cancer when it was at an early stage. So there was a good chance that he could be healed. But later he was examined by a leading British cancer specialist who told him that everything is fine and that the cancer would heal naturally in a few months. So Frederick decided to trust said doctor, refused any treatment against his throat cancer and later died because of his throat cancer.
So the anglo-subhumans ruined the lives of two of our Kaisers.
But on a serious note, was it even possible at that time to treat, let alone cure, throat cancer effectively?
He's blind Anglophilia killed him.
@@epajarjestys9981 probably not
Incompetence or perfidious Albion striking again?
@@epajarjestys9981 eh? Depends on how good and component the doctor/ doctors of the time were and also to pray to good you did get an infection because of the surgery or the doctor/doctors killing you by accident out right.
Its especially sad that in the end even Bismarck warned Wilhelm II that if he took the conservative militarism to its extreme he could lose the throne and cause great damage to Germany and the rest of Europe. Well we all know what followed...
If Bismarck was ressurrected today and taught about the various things that happened after his death, he's probably going to be EXTREMELY mad at William II for ruining LITERALLY everything. Like, "WILHELM!!!!! HOW THE FUCK COULD YOU HAVE DONE THIS? YOU FUCKED UP EVERYTHING! LITERALLY! YOU FUCKED UP THE NATION, ALL OF EUROPE, AND THE ENTIRETY OF CIVILIZATION ITSELF!!"
Or maybe he could just sigh in total disappointment as well because he knew that this would happen under Wilhelm's egoistic politics and diplomacy.
I absolutely loved this video. One of the best you guys have produced so far, the information and the way it is narrated, it is really deep. You can feel the sadness and the what-if idea that I would think you guys wanted to portray.

@@danielmccain3428 What a bizarre notion!
Blackadder!
Britain needed a war to destroy the German navy and prevent them from becoming a full fledged imperial power. France needed the war against Germany due to how disastrous the Franco-Prussian war had been and the death and humiliation even the capital had to endure during the war.
Russia needed a war somewhere with slavs to show the Empire would protect them and distract public opinion from internal issues.
The turk needed european allies and a war with Russia to show power and prevent getting kicked across the Aegean.
Germany needed a war with Russia to prevent it from modernizing and increasing development accross the empire as that would cement their hold on Eastern Europe and allow it to build industries across the empire.
Austria needed to show it’s patchwork nation that an attack against the royal house had repercussions but took too long to attack due to fearing a war with Russia
Non-Agglutinative Krenak In essence, it was simply too much trouble not to have a war.
I must say, as much as I love history, the focus all to often (though usually justifiable) is on wars and those responsible for starting and waging them. Leaders like Billy III here who are more focused on actually helping the citizens of their country and of others, are too often forgotten and not memorialized doe "great deeds". Glad to see leaders that are decent human getting their due.

Thank You. Please make more of these historically important yet Forgotten Stories. Hopefully, Future Leaders will learn from these and many other Great Tragedies that have handicapped Civilizational progress.
I believe that world war 1 was inevitable regardless of Frederick or not since there were too many powerful empires in Europe who competed for their own interest
Doesn't explain the world war (which really was more of a great European war than a world war all things considered which is why I like the great war as a name far more) part of it. A war between France and Germany alone would have resolved the situation. Russia could have battled the Ottomans and Italy could have fought with Austria. More local wars - as it had been for centuries. In the end, it turned out as it did but a more peaceful monarch in Germany could have changed a lot in the German tolerance for Austrian incompetence.
@@Arcaryon : _"but a more peaceful monarch in Germany could have changed a lot in the German tolerance for Austrian incompetence."_

No. The enemies of that strong and unbelievably successful and prosperous German Reich (of William II.) sought to destroy her. The reasons of the British elite can be summed up in the following conversation from the year *1907* between *Lord Balfour* and the US diplomat Henry White.
[Arthur Balfour was a British top politician and chief diplomat (1902-1905 Prime Minister, 1915-1916 First Lord of the Admiralty, 1916-1919 British Foreign Minister)]
*BALFOUR* : _“We are probably fools not to find a reason for declaring war on Germany before she builds too many ships and takes away our trade.”_
*WHITE* : _“You are a very high-minded man in private life. How can you possibly contemplate anything so politically immoral as provoking a war against a harmless nation which has as good a right to a navy as you have? If you wish to compete with German trade, work harder.”_
*BALFOUR* : _“That would mean lowering our standard of living. Perhaps it would be simpler for us to have a war.”_
*WHITE* : _“I’m shocked that you of all men should enunciate such principles.”_
*BALFOUR* : _“Is it a question of right or wrong? Maybe it is just a question of keeping our supremacy.”_

Amazing video! Great artwork, always such high quality! One of my favourite history Channel. Keep up the amazing work!
If not for a miss-diagnosis of Frederick's throat cancer in England, at a time when it could have been treated, William II would have never been Kaiser, and that means that there would have been no challenge to the naval dominance of England and no reason for England to desire war with Germany! Also, Frederick would have had the sense and intelligence to pay attention to Bismarck, and not dump him as his younger brother did! Furthermore, Frederick would have continued the policy of keeping Russia and Germany on friendly terms thus eliminating the possibility of a 'two front war' that would eventually come to pass. Amazing how the elimination of one man can have such a huge influence on history!
William II was Friedrich III son, not his brother. William would have become Kaiser eventually.
Several nonsense here. (1) England did no go to war with Germany because Germany was a treat to their naval dominance, but because Germany was threatening the British commercial supremacy, futhermore the German naval buildup was done in anticipation to the War of Gencide that he British were planning. (2) Only braindead idiots would have maintained Bismark the Fraticide in power, specially Friedrich, that no just was a fraticide but also a retard of strategist in geopolitics in trying to mantain 2 times a impossible alliance of the three emperators.
I used to think Wilhelm II lacking Bismarck's genius, didn't follow the policy of friendship with Russia....However, it's not true; His grandfather,Wilhelm I said to him on his death bed to make friendship with Russia a matter of importance; When Wilhelm II assended the throne he honoured the promise by going to Russia on a friendship mission as his first royal visit. He also was in constant comunication with the Russian Tsar in the lead up to ww1 Both trying to stop the war.
Like many others have already said, one of the best videos!

When he noted throat soreness and change in voice, his physicians strongly suspected CA and recommended laryngectomy though a tumor couldn't be seen. His wife wrote to her mother and asked for advice. Victoria sent her own incompetent "specialist" to see him. That man said it was just innocent inflammation. The German physicians disagreed and a 2 biopsies were done. Both were inconclusive and the sample sizes were small.
Laryngectomy was again advised and declined. The physicians resigned and were replaced. The new physicians gave the same recommendation but it was far too late. I think they did a tracheostomy near the end just for comfort. His son, William, had a brutal childhood with painful operations, braces, balance issues, etc.
The Great Wars had millions of deaths and left great empires in the dust. However, without the wars many things which we have today simply would have never been invented.

4:39 the picture is Helmuth von Moltke the Younger!
I was about to say. And the pictures of William I were actually his older brother and predecessor Frederick William IV.
How I wish to go back in time, manage to meet Frederick as a kid, and just tell him like: "kid, don't smoke... you're gonna save the world one day", and I go off, humming the Deutschlandlied as he looks at me bewildered
Then you and I and about everyone alive in the West would not be here. Just saying.
Very well done, I like this format also.
Tragic. Thank you. This was all new to me.
Great Video. Just a nitpick. Towards the end of the video you play the melody of the "Deutschlandlied" which is the german national anthem today. However it wasn't the anthem at this time in history. Funnily enough this melody (with different text) used to be the Anthem of the Austrian Empire (Kaiserhymne) in this time period, and Germanys Anthem was "Heil dir im Siegerkranz" played to the melody of the english national Anthem. So as weird as this is "God save the queen" would have been technically more appropriate ;)
It's not like he claimed it was the anthem. Heil dir in Siegerskranz was the repurposed Prussian anthem seen as alien in many parts of the empire while the Deutschlandlied was a far more popular German nationalist song.
I love the new art style 👏👏👏👏
Hope you continue with this and have a break from the intense battles and wars

The paintings of Wilhelm I are actually Friedrich Wilhelm IV...
Frederick William IV is another very underrated monarch. He was rather close to his nephew and is said to have been a major influence on Frederick III when he was young.
@@thunderbird1921 Agreed, he's been left behind in memory by the 3 Imperial Hohenzollerns. Shame too, he seems like a great man of his era.
@@curt8652 He was for the most part, from everything I've read. As a matter of fact, without Frederick William IV reforming the Prussian government in 1848, there probably wouldn't BE a Hohenzollern empire. By beginning the transition to constitutional monarchy, he saved the dynasty for another 70 years. He even reportedly said to Wilhelm his brother, "The era of absolute monarchy is over. If our family's rule is to continue, we must accept that and change". The public went from nearly dethroning him to offering him the crown of a unified Germany (which he declined but Wilhelm would eventually accept in 1871).
Good work :)

Amazing video and I think he was a great man who could of done greater things for Germany had he lived longer. It is hard to say if one man could of prevented war but it isn't impossible so it is possible that he could of.

@@yourmajesty1361
Nader Shah was great. They call him the Napoleon of the East for a reason.
However, comparing him to arguably the greatest general to live is Nationalistic/Ethnic bias since his career was spent fighting the dying nations in the Middle East and the Mughal Empire whereas Napoleon fought the greatest empires of his era (named aptly after him) at their primes. Together.
@@RexGalilae So the Ottomans, Russians, British, Mughals, Afghans were all dying nations in the 18th century? Nâder's Army fought a 3x larger Army when he faced the Mughals. the only reason Nader Shah isn't seen as great as Napoleon or even greater is because he dosn't get any attention from western media. Nâder wasn't simply a conqueror but an enlightener & nation builder who had to face sectarian division conflicts in his country, many rebellions, and a lot of devastation, hunger and illiteracy that existed in his country. And then came the threat of being invaded by the neighbors. It wasn't like all Situations were in Nâder's favor. Nâder's own country was literary a dying nation when he grow up. Centuries of Safavid mis management and stupid policies had made the country a ruin and it's people superstitious sheeps. The safavid dynasty was like the qing dynasty in china.
Well done!
Awesome artwork on this one!

It is still nice to be a true liberal, but it seems like anyone who has even the mildest political influence will be alienated from the Right and harassed from the Left

@@alldamnnamesaretaken well, 20th century european liberalism was about those things, especially after world war II. Before that however, european liberalism was about constitutionalism and personal freedoms like free press, freedom from racial or religious persecution, and the abolishment of privileges for nobility and religious leaders and churches (up to being outright anti-religious) , rule of law and so on. it was way less driven my economic policies than later (because the workers movement was not yet a big threat or adversary in politics).
