- 📜 History of Otto von Bismarck, Part 1
Otto von Bismarck became the greatest statesman of a generation, but he began as an intransigent and irresponsible youth. He coasted through college, got himself thrown out of an early political appointment, and caused havoc with his divisive opinions during a meeting of parliament.

Being a german myself, and a lover of all history, Otto von Bismarck was always one of the most interesting people to learn about, glad you guys are making an episode about him
Damn... this is good... can't wait for the next part.

This was a long time coming. And now I'm ready

The ironic part is, the education system that almost ruined Bismarck later became the standard around the world for a century or so. Great video, as always. :-)
Oh wow, I don't know you're fan of this show
Kings and Generals just found your channel. Great videos!
Kings and Generals To be fair, the overwhelming majority of people are not bismarck. You can't make an education system just for that one guy that pops up every century or so.
Yeah, I was trying to make that point. :-) Prussian education system is created to make children get used to the army discipline very early. It is not for everyone. It is not good in uncovering the talent.
Kings and Generals I got that feeling from reading the Temeraire series as well, which is remarkably accurate historically wise.
"Involuntarily volunteered for the army."
In the army, we called that volun-told.
Oh, that isn't just used in the army. I've heard it used in US civilian workplaces by people without any military background. Maybe they were worried it wouldn't translate into other languages?
works just as well here in high school too
It’s actually Conscription
That’s what my teachers use when no hand go up, volunteer or be voluntold
In civilian/political terms, we call that conscription.
"But Bismarck had a plan.
Bismarck always had a plan."

"Some damned foolish thing in the Balkans" Did he... predict ww1?
Keith T Maxwell Yes.
Ooohhh yes. He certainly did.
He was only 4 months out. Wilhelm abdicated 19 years and 8 months into that prediction.
It's like predicting that WWIII will come from some damn fool thing in North Korea. It's not exactly a blind prediction.
Yes that was the implication thank you.
"Bismarck always has a plan" feels like it's going to be this series new "Walpole, it was Walpole."

Wir lernen gerade über Otto in der Schule. Irgendwie finde ich dass, das Internet ihn viel besser erklärt als unsere Schule. Bislang haben wir auch noch nicht über das Attentat auf ihn gelernt
Hat-Eating-Cthulu-Goat and as Americans
We know literally nothing
@@robinwillmann6693 Ich hatte Bismarck die gesamte 9. Klasse hindurch und ich wusste bis gerade eben nicht mal, dass es ein Attentat auf ihn gab...
Hat-Eating-Cthulu-Goat well he is a great figure when I heard about him on our course I decided to Research about him extensively and is my muse in my pursuit of a career in the government
Bismarck also gave some advice before abdicating:
1. dont build a fleet which will threaten england
2. Dont form a dependent alliance with Austria
3. Dont break your alliance with Russia
Wilhelm II did all of those things.
😅
Which was a stupid idea.
I'm pretty sure the 3rd one was the stupidest to be honest with ya.
@jaredjosephsongheng372 easily. Germany fighting a 2 front war made things so much harder then they had to be, made even worse seeing as it was Austria who dragged Russia into the war
@@jaredjosephsongheng372 Russia and austria were competitors in the balkans, being allied to the 2 of them would be impossible, and when he tried twice with the league of the three emperors, it failed. and as for France, let's just say that was a clear no. Germany feared Russia, if an alliance had been made between germany and russia, russia could have industrialized and became powerful enough to threaten germany's plan to dominate the continent, which is why Austria was chosen as an ally instead of Russia. And as for Britain, it was not happy with the idea of Germany dominating the continent, so the best Germany could hope for in a war is neutrality until Germany was about to win or did something like invading Belgium
@@rinopro5556 Oh, that's interesting, in a scenario where germany allied russia intead of the austro-hungarians in WW1, maybe russia would not have suffered those heavy losses befalling the collapse of the russian empire.
Then the comunist revolution might not have succeded, givin us a pretty more cursed scenario in WW2
I love how the one phrase to describe him is "Bismarck, being Bismarck, did something so out of place that everyone else took note."

"Did the man really think prussians wouldn't stand up against an invader without being promised a piece of paper!" Best speech ever.
It's not an absurd thing to suggest on the part of the other politician. Lots of monarchs had civilian populations turn against them when an invasion happened and they actively sided with the invaders. Not to mention that the last century was filled with republicanism (anti-monarchism) sweeping across Europe.

Boring
Nothing like Bismarck the wild man to burst into your house, guns blazing and foxes abound.
something about imagining a man waltzing into a room full of quiet drinkers and fellow farmers then suddenly firing a round straight up through the ceiling, or a man checking his estate before bedtime soon to find out that his study had a gang of foxes rummaging around inside just brings a smile to my face.
It is funny to me. But then again it wasn't my house he shot up. Still... (ha, ha!)
He's the Prussian Yosemite Sam.
Bismark isn't a Texan name
I'd let him
not what I was expecting from a young Bismarck...
something more of an old man with energy and better looks (also please tell me how to do your mostauche)
Young Bismarck is better.
I expected a boat; I thought this was like a reupload xD
Fratboyz were not invented Yesterday.
I can't speak for other European countries, but Germany has a historically established Fraternity culture of drinking unhealthy ammounts of booze and engaging in petty rivalries with other fraternities which can still involve actual small-sword duels with abstract turn-based rules with the objective of wounding the opponent on the head with your blade (but only if the two of you are hard-core about preserving old tradions and practices).
These fraternities are dying out as far as I know though, or at least have trouble finding new recruits. I live in Göttingen (dignified old University-town in Germany) and the first thing you tend to find out about the frats is how ridiculously cheap the rent can be in some of those antique Villas...and that you'd be best advised not to take the offer because the idea is you get to live there cheap in return for Sponsoring the place once you graduate and start making money and if you ever have second thoughts and want to leave, they'll treat you kind of the way a mob, street-gang or cult treats former members.
I find it pretty in line with the rest of his life. Even under Friedrich (Wilhelm II's grandfather) he was throwing expensive pottery around the room in response to King Friedrich suggesting that he should abdicate.
"What we learn from history is that no one learns from history." -Otto von Bismarck
God we need a house of card type show with this man.
A young man filling his time debauchery going on to play the continent of Europe like fiddle and forming the most dominate nation as his reward.
That is a five star show waiting to happen
Agreed. But it’s also a tightrope
Yeah dunno if they would do that cuz the show would be very Prussian supportive. I don’t think a lot of people want that on fear of liking our history. Or maybe they would, but I think producers would be too afraid to do it. It’s pretty sad anyways that there’s nearly no movies or series made about anything before ww2, anything Prussian
It could be called glory and defeat
I would watch it.
Finally you made an episode about Bismarck
Took only 3 bloody years
which one
The ship or The Great?
But it isn't called: "Breakfeast with Otto." :(
Yeah hunting the Bismarck was made a while a go
Oh My Germany! It's finally here!
I need to know how this man managed to make it through law school without once going to class
Aviation lord by doing what most students do. Cram at the last minute with a bunch a books about law.
Alex K and he still manages to get being the 2nd most powerful man in germany.
I think the saying was that 'The king reigns but does not govern.'
Also, law school back then was much different than law school now. I think during the 189_, Johns Hopkins, one of the leading medical school today, was just a charity hospital.

The duelling record begs to differ. If only that damn fellows rapier didnt break!
atleast the british sank the bismarck......not funny
Lol I found out about him because I play Civ 5. The game is supposed to use only the greatest leaders of certain countries. Bismarck for Germany, Elizabeth for England, Augustus Ceaser for Rome, Darius 1 of Persia, Alexander the Great for Greece, then so on and so forth.
Hi, German guy here. Thanks for discussing one of the greats from german history who wasn't a horrifying nazi xD

At any rate, thank you for the slip-up, This series promises to be especially captivating too!
Feels good man
Though si xD was wondering why thia came out half a day faster tgan usual xD
This is actually quite inspiring.
I live in the city where Bismarck first studied - Göttingen. He was banned from the city center for partying too much and harassing people with his dogs, two large Great Danes. He moved into a former watchtower of the old city wall, where a small Bismarck themed museum is located today. He was also thrown into the University's student prison a couple of times. You can still see the signature that Bismarck cut into the wooden door of his cell.
The right man in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world.
So wake up, mister Bismark. Wake up, and, smell the ashes....
Or the Wrong Man in the Right Place
Or the German.
Not all of Germany is Prussia, and it was also Bismarck's autocratic and anti-democratic heritage that led to the first World War.

When you realize becoming one of the most notable figures in history will make all your habits known.

Finally, the correct Bismarck this time
Kind of ironic how the man is known for forewarning against a coming chaos while a ship with a similar name practically sowed it.
fictionfan0 Well it was a different chaos though.
Bismarck may have done horrible things, as he played a role in setting up the Berlin Conference but I still can't stop thinking about the great things he did. Uniting peoples, keeping the European concert going. I can't help but stare back at the quotes he did. Bismarck did try to stop a WW1 but in the end... the next generation were.... not the best at stopping that war. He did a lot and I'm glad someone mentioned him!
6:32 and here it starts, the infamous "Bismarck ALWAYS has a plan"
Bismarck was truly one of the greatest and most brilliant political minds of the whole 19th century in Europe, perhaps even the best one after all... and even though his domestic policy wasn't the best, his foreign policy of saturation and doing everything to avoid war was all the better.
He's one of the very few characters in german history I'm very impressed by (in a good way!) and who I'm actually quite proud of!
That's something i can totally sign, a shame that Wilhelm II destroyed Bismarck's legacy and brought the wrath of the Great War over Europe. If we had had more politicians like Bismarck, I think the 20th century would have been a better time.
I also totally agree. The other great sadness for me is, that the Nazis mistreated the name so very much, that it isnt properly respected in other countries
To be honest his domestic policy wasn't to bad with for example the public insurances surviving till today.

Otto von Bismarck wait who are you
I personally met the great-grandson of Otto von Bismark when I was trying to get a job in DC. He ran an environmental non-profit. I had to read up on this man's bio while getting ready for my interview. This man's experience as a Harvard undergrad is almost exactly like Otto von Bismark's--he stopped going to class, he got into lots of fights, he (probably) drank a lot, he continuously dropped out and came back. He graduated after 9 years. But he led a very interesting life, filled with adventure.
8:45 “why are you booing me, I’m right!”
And he was. Kind if absurd for that man to say that Prussia wouldn't had stood up to fight napoleon. I mean this country doesn't have an army, the army has a country.
“Known for firing pistols into ceilings, and releasing foxes 🦊into his friend’s drawing rooms.” Just.... what?!!
I just know this is going to be a good series
4:40 Do we have an Extra History Artwork Hall of Fame yet?
Every frame our artists draw belongs in a Hall of Fame, amirite?
Yeah basically.
Extra Credits I would happily buy a poster featuring all of the characters from extra history on it.

Yes, but even in a Magnum Opus, some pages are better than others.
Bismarck predicted WW1 really easily.
1878, predicts the Balkans will cause a major war.
1898, predicts that 20 years after he dies, Wilhelm II will lose his throne. Bismarck died the same year.
1918, 20 years later, a war in the Balkans means Wilhelm II loses his throne.
What if he was from the future and traveled back in time?
8:53 Switzerland on every World war

Also: "Cramming"! Don't forget "Cramming"!
It seems to be a pattern with a lot of the high and famous in history.
Sander Heutink, Of course, simply because they captivate the imaginary of the public. It's much easier to have a compelling narrative about quirky men like here Otto von Bismarck than, for instance, about dry and uninteresting people like Catherine II of Russia's lover whom she described as "The most boring man in all of Russia".
Eh, I'm 17 and never had cannabis in a country where it's one of the most important agricultural exports of one particular province, nor have I ever gotten drunk like Bismark, or at all for that matter.
I have watched this series 5 times now
That was such a subtle yet powerful jab at 5:25 😂
oh this is going to be interesting. :D
Otto Von Bismarck is a genius and a slight badass. The fact that be was so perfectly able to predict why and when the Kaiser would abdicate, is quite insane. (Great vid as always Extra Credits!)
PRIDE OF A NATION! A BEAST MADE OF STEEL!
Oh wait, sorry. Wrong Bismark.

Bismark is one of my favorite historical figures of all time. I am so pumped for a series on him! Thanks guys!
Otto's prediction wasn't wisdom, experience, or anything like that, it was black magic, given to him by the elder gods he dueled when he read the Necronomicon.

I like how you framed his political leanings. It's easy to vilify old-school monarchism from a contemporary Democratic standpoint, but not to dismiss the reasons why he held it so deeply and why people were willing to listen. There had to be SOMETHING that people held onto, after all.
Sure, but that doesn't me he wasn't wrong. Just as American traditionalists moan about gay marriage we can understand their fear of regular marriage somehow being indirectly harmed.
At almost every juncture of history, tradition has simultaneously been the most appealing motivation and the least reliable justification.
xenoblad I definitely understand the argument you're making, though I don't think that's the best example. Where establishing a Parliament creates a co-governing body that immediately competes with the existing monarchy, gay marriage does not compete with straight marriage. I tend not to give religious objections to gay marriage much credence because the country can both be a majority Christian (which it is) and have majority support for gay marriage (which it sort of has in some age groups). It's like how allowing interracial marriage didn't compete with marriages of people of the same race or undermine the American family, either.
Yes, a parliament competes with a strong monarch - which is exactly the reason for having one. Also, he wasn't just wrong from a contemporary standpoint. A more democratic form of government than Prussia was not exactly a new idea at his time.
In fact, Prussia partitioned one of the more democratic states together with Russia and Austria just a century later. Democracies seem to be very prone to increasing corruption over time
Cicero I get that that's your opinion but it's shaky. In a historical context, marriage was more about inheritance than birthrate. Despite what people think, extra-marital sex has always existed, and marriage has no real impact on either sex or conception. Moreover, the soldier-focused mindset is more of a modern concept. I'd say, and this is my opinion, that homosexuality has been viewed negatively by some societies (definitely not all societies, just ask the ancient Greeks) is that it could be looked as an abberant behavior, like how the Catholics used to be anti-left handedness.
I'm taking modern Germany in college so this is a great way to review.
Sam Lucas look out for the prime minister and overall hatred of free speach
Sam Lucas "Modern" "Germany"
Slim Tony 19th century is considered modern by most standards

I tried to make a funny joke a while ago. Instead of saying Otto von Bismark I said Otto von South Dakota, because I thought the capital of South Dakota was called Bismark. My mom looked it up afterwards. It's actually Pierre. North Dakota's capital is Bismark. I am stupid.
The first minute and a half of this video is my favorite on this channel, Otto von Bismarck warning is truly amazing
Out of curiosity, I looked up pietism after hearing about it here, not having heard the term before and wondering as to what it specifically entailed.
After two hours of browsing I ended up with the feeling that pietism has a lot to answer for.
