I like to think of the seven years war as World War Zero

Can we all just step back and appreciate that Frederick the Great not only stood his ground against four of the five major powers of Europe at the time, all but alone. Not only that, he faced for the five major powers of Europe and came out the other side with more territory after the fact...

After saying that imagine if Fredrick had been born a few decades later. Image if Napoleon's Prussian enemy was Fredrick himself. That would've been the equivalent of Patton vs Rommell, or Sun Tzu vs Hannibal. I'm unsure who would've won, but that battle would never be forgotten.

Such great production value, especially for such a small channel, a channel which doesn't deserve to be so small.

For what it is worth, Choiseul when negotiating the Treaty of Paris in 1761 was very surprised by the will of the Brits to eliminate the French from the Americas. He said :
"I'm surprised that your grand Pitt (British PM) gives so much importance to Canada aquisition, a territory too scarcely populated to bear any threats to you and which, in our (French) hands, could be used to keep your colonies in a dependance from which they won't hesitate to get ride off the day Canada will be given to Britain".

Well, no more than 15 years later, he was proved right.

I admire how you add the correct flags to all states, and how the guns which some states are given are reflective of what weapons they used; for example the Mughals were given a musket that was of an Eastern design and a miquelet, similar to the kind they used. I just love the little details; as I am quite picky about history and historical accuracy.

This channel's content is exceptional, and I hope to see it grow to rival the largest historical channels on YouTube some day!

P.S. The Victoria II music is a nice touch.

That's the war I grew to know the most about. Back in 2007 I actually joined a group that researches this war, and publishes articles on it online over at Kronoskaf.


You are right: there are a LOT of things to learn about the war: you skipped on the fighting in the Caribbean, the Philippenes, Africa (yes that happened), even how the Cherokee for a while FOUGHT the British. With that in mind, you did an excellent job of summarizing the highlights of the war. :D

Here's to one day seeing a high budget tv series which covers the entire story of The 7 Years War.

Thanks so much for this video. It's really entertaining and teaches really well at the same time.
We don't even talk about the seven years war in school so this video was a life saver for a history nerd like me.
