underrated channel
great overview
3:21 this is a major mistake in the video. Cuba and the Philippines were never lost to the British. Spain retained the rule over the two colonies for more than 100 years after the Seven Years War, until America took them away from Spain after the Spanish American War in 1898 (with Cuba gaining independence and the Philippines becoming American colony)
Not to mention the British never had control over Louisiana. It was given to the Spanish in return for the French debt. Louisiana was returned to the French during the time of Napoleon, who in turn sold it to the USA.
The british captured havana and manila during the war and in the aftermath spain ceded florida in return
Good video.
There were really 4 world wars 1) the Spanish war of succession, 2) the 7 years War 3) World War I 4) World War II.
the Brits and the French emerged "the most" ascendant from each of these wars, compared to rivals, with the Americans also in the last 2
Couldn't the Napoleonic Wars also be considered a World War?
@arimoh2840 no real battles in Asia. Only the ottoman campaign and that was the 2nd coalition
@@closetglobe.IRGUN.NW0 So Russia doesn't count as Asia?
@@jackk119was there any real fighting done in the asian part of russia (siberia)? if not, i don't think so.
So there were 6 world wars actually. 2 more world wars. I 1568-1607: 80 Years' War in the Netherlands (1568-1648), French religious wars (1562-1598), war against England (1585-1604). Remember attacks by the Dutch, English (Drake) and French against Spanish Italy, Cuba, Florida, Mexico, Ceuta, the Philippines, Brazil, Africa when Portugal is an ally of Spain.
In the second part, after the Pax Hispanica, there is another great war, or continuation between 1618-1648, throughout the planet. Basically the 30 years' war in Germany, with the continuation of the Dutch War until 1648, the Spanish and French rivalry, and the Spanish and English rivalry. Spain in simultaneous war against France, England, Protestant Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, Portugal (which later became an ally of those powers), the Turkish Empire, Morocco, Berber pirates, Filipino Moors, Chinese and Japanese pirates, sometimes supported through Holland and England. Dutch attacks in Brazil, Spanish Caribbean and Portuguese Indonesia. English attacks on Jamaica, Peru, Philippines. Spanish victories in Brazil, Spanish Caribbean, Italy. While Spain also fights against the Mapuches of Chile and the Apaches of the great plains. Even after 1648, Spain continues fighting against France, and that overlaps with the 9 Years' War, and almost with the War of Succession. In reality it would be almost more than 200 years of consecutive war. Because the rivalry of Spain against France in Italy since 1494 overlaps with the wars in Germany and then the wars against France in France.
Thanks to some important victories in those wars, Spain has 480 million native Spanish speakers (Portugal 250 million). English: 380 millions nativa speakers. Spanish and Portuguese are equal languages in 89% of the words. And 800 million Catholics. France only really had a solid world empire at the end of the 19th century, and the British after the Napoleonic Wars. But they all disintegrate after WW2. The legacy of empires remains.
Arguably the first world war was between Carthage and Rome with the context that both nations believed the Mediterranean Sea and the lands surrounding represented the only civilized and valuable portion of the known world to them at that time.
So it was world war zero... WWZ

suggesting: more maps, and, animating the maps as well.
instead of showing some antique drawings of quebec and montrael, show them on maps and show the color red encrouching upon them
The 7 years war laid the foundation of French involvement in the American revolution and in a twist of fait the undoing of the French monarchy.
This war is the most important single factor in history, because of the fallout being so wide.If France hadn't supported the colonists, they would have had more time to reform to avoid the French Revolution, and LaFayette had intended them to be a constitutional monarchy like Britain, before US war of independence, which not only bankrupted France, but Napoleon bankrupted them further, leaving them in the worst most pathetic position diplomatically in their entire history.This single fact led to the unification of the German states and the Italian states.France had successfully intimidated and meddled in diplomacy and strategic affairs to prevent especially the German states from being anything other than the HRE , because they knew that potentially the German-speaking world had vastly more population and natural resources which as a single entity would threaten the existence of France.
Therefore the USA, Germany and Italy would not exist if France didn't help the colonists and there would be no World War I, orl World War II.
Cuba and the Philippines? I though Spain lost those colonies at the end of the nineteenth century and to The USA, not great Britain

The first global war in history was in the 16th-17th centuries, when the 80 Years' War (1568-1648), the French religious wars (1562-1598), the war against England (1585-1604), the 30 years' war (1618-1648) and the endless war against the Turks in all the oceans. You can divide it into two world wars if you want, between 1568-1607, and 1618-1648.
In the first Spain was at war simultaneously with France, England, Protestant Germany, the Netherlands and the Turkish Empire.
In the second stage, after the Pax Hispanica, Spain was in simultaneous war against France, England, the Netherlands, Protestant Germany, the Turkish Empire, Portugal, Denmark, Sweden, revolts in Italy, Morocco, Berber pirates, Filipino Moors, Chinese pirates and Japanese, Mapuches from Chile and Apaches from the Great Plains. In addition, our "friends" from England and Holland made visits with war fleets to Ceuta, the Caribbean, Puerto Rico, Canarias, Cuba, Mexico, the Philippines, Indonesia, Florida, Spanish Italy, where they received the postmark on their ass. 800 million Catholics thanks to Spain. 200 million in Europe and 100 million in Asia, as an effect of those wars.
We are thankful to the British . Even today 78% of India is Hindu.
