The Long 19th Century (Revolutions, Unifications, and War) - A Complete History Overview

The Long 19th Century is a jam-packed journey through the 1800s in Europe, stretching from the mid-1700s to 1914. We pick up where we left off after the Napoleonic Wars. It serves as the first episode in our Late Modern megadocumentary, and should be the first piece in our look at history across the world from 1800 - 1945.

Consider becoming a member for early access and to keep the project going:

The first chapter deals with Revolutions. It goes up until 1848, and includes the Industrial Revolution, the Serbian Revolution, Greek War of Independence, Revolutions of the 1820s, of the 1830s (France and Belgium), and revolutions of 1848 in France, Austria, and the German and Italian States.

The second chapter deals with Unifications. We focus on the unification wars of Italy and Germany, but also touch on the other major states, and the Crimean War. We also take a look at the advances in science and the arts with the romantic and realist movements.

The final chapter deals with Stability. We delve into the Second Industrial Revolution, new alliances, new breakthroughs in science, new art movements with impressionism and the transition to modernist art, and as we reach the turn of the century, a new type of society called mass society, and instability in the Balkans.

The Late Modern Series:

Welcome to Late Modern series of the World History Summarized project! The entire project is meant to summarize broad topics in history and balances political history and events, with social/daily life, and culture. If you've watched our History of the World documentary, the project is a perfect next step. The videos are standalone, but presented in a chronological fashion. This series "the Late Modern" takes place after our megadocumentaries "The Ancient World", "The Medieval World", and the "Early Modern". It will be divided into 6 or 7 videos about the Late Modern period (c. 1800 - 1945) all over the world, and will be called Phase 4. Once these videos are completed, we will move onto Phase 5, the FINAL PHASE of the project, but this series will be considered completed, and compiled into ONE MEGA-DOCUMENTARY containing all 6 or 7 parts.

Ahh.. The chaos of 19th century history to drift asleep to toning.

[annerice]

Why so many criticisms, someone spent time and a good deal of effort to put this together. The odd bit of bad grammar, hell who cares. The narrator, far better than some. To all those negatives out there. Could you do something like this?

[giannishatzimanolis]

This channel is so great that I successfully passed my university's course of history only by watching this video. I have to thank and congratulate you from the bottom of my heart. Keep up the great work

[LegoEddy]

This was so good! Just the right speed and excellent transitions between the interweaved topics. The 19th century, and thus the base of much of modern Europe, now makes much more sense to me. This must have been a big effort to make, thanks so much!

What is wild about this is I learned about all these 18th century tech innovations by playing Empire Total War. I knew about the industrial revolution in general and some innovations but some of these specifics like the flying shuttle and spinning Jenny, I saw in the game.

[seanmacquarrie]

This deserves more views and likes. Very interesting video

[sarimento]

Wonderfully done! A bit too rapid paced for me. Outstanding visuals throughout, deserved longer dwell time! Thanks!

[_sarahmarielle]

Sir I see how much work you put into this channel, it’s quite amazing, quite impressive. As a history nerd, Thank you, literally binging everything🥰

[bhe]

History is best when it is put into context. This video does this so well.

[ignasspam]

what is the name of your background video music? In minutes 26:00

[stefanie]

The title made me think of an instructor I had in college who always said the 20th century didn’t start until 1912 😂 thanks for the memory, and the great video!

[RafaelTruthseeker]

Awesome video. Congratulations, many thanks and my wishes of a continued good job 👍

1:10 Sri Lanka was not under the British until 1815. Before then, it was Portuguese and Dutch, and even then they never controlled the whole islsnd, only the coasts.

[petesmodelcarcustoms]

Really good documentary, gripping throughout with a dramatic finish. I've subbed👍😃

[mihaiserbu]

Excelent resume of the 19th century! Amazing scheme and very clarifying

[seanmcdonald]

This is my kind of history: social, military, art, invention, demographics, economics . . . .a bit of everything but more importantly how each played a part in the events discussed.
Remember to ALWAYS remain sceptical but not cynical: go read about this century from multiple sources and perspectives . . . . . 😊

Map at 1.11 shows modern borders for a map titled "British Empire mid 1700s". It wrongly shows Sierra Leone, the Gold Coast, Coastal Nigeria, Guyana, Ceylon as British, while it does not indicate Bengal as being British (under E.I.C. rule).

[blockmasterscott]

I love the age of empires in the 19th century. Like it or hate it, it was impressive. Especially with the British Empire encompassing a quarter of the world's population and land surface. And the British Empire exists today in the form of the British Commonwealth. It really shines on their accomplishment as an Empire that the Commonwealth is alive and healthy while membership is VOLUNTARY.

[EpicGeopolitics]

Amazing video man. Really enjoying it. Please let me know what you call the image you use at 36:28. I'd love to know. Thanks again dude. Have subscribed and anticipate watching all your other videos!

[mileskinman]

Could have gone into more detail on the failings of the British Crown during the famine but a generally stellar documentary.
