1757 ⚔️ The Seven Years' War Deadliest Campaign (Full Documentary)

In a letter dating from January 1758, Frederick the Great, King of Prussia, wrote his brother, Prince Henry: “If the coming year should be as cruel as that which has ended, I hope it will be the last one of my life.” This statement sums up the brutality, intensity and length of the 1757 campaign of the Seven Years' War. It was a campaign which was "unusually fertile in battles." It became one of the bloodiest years, of a very bloody war.

I just started reading early modern history and just today went over how crazy 1757 was. How very fun that this then pops up.

[michaelstellajr]

Most excellent work my friend. You seem to have it all going. Your graphics are excellent, your maps are quite detailed and I love the topographical designs. Your topics are well researched, with top notch narration through out. Outstanding.

[dubbyx]

It was during the latter stages of the Seven Years War that my respect for Fredrick the Great was cemented.. I specifically wanted to learn about him because of Napoleon's praise of him.. I am not disappointed.. He was indeed great.

A gentleman fly indeed!

[SU-vynb]

Does anyone else wonder to themselves how many non history nerds confuse Russia and Prussia when they watch these videos or read about it for class?

[WitmanClan]

Yes 🙌 thank you 🙏 and hello from Norfolk 🧜‍♀️
