Glorious content as always Apostolic, I love listening to the dulcet tones of your exposition while I'm at work.

[@misterkefir]

Ashes of ashes. Maybe not even. Only faint memories of the ashes are what is left. We live in the darkest of times. Cheers & God Bless, brothers. Stay frosty out there.

I expected a standard exposition of Habsburg history. Instead I got a passionate plea for Christian aristocratic rule and clear explanation why it proved untenable. Serious research and quite deep look into the shifting spiritual structure of Europe in the nineteenth century. Even if I disagree I say bravo.

Quality content, as always. Hoping to see a Livestream again soon 😊

Pure class as always, AM.

Seems like the anti-revolutionary coalition idea didn't work in part because the revolutions of the 19th Century were not themselves coherent across nations, they were democratic and nationalistic but they didn't represent the kind of threat that could unify powers that had longstanding antagonisms. The 20th century would furnish a coherent revolutionary movement that could actually rally such an alliance, but by then the old empires were gone.

Can we haz Habsburgers?

Is the Anatomy of Austria Hungary series still among your plans? Love these short videos, thank you AM.

[@johnnotrealname8168]

Bruh! Short.

Not the shortest video I've ever seen.

Thanks!

That last sentence was a damning conclusion. Poor Austria.

[@Rasenganplanet]

Do you believe Austria should have tried expanding when Germany and Italy when it had opportunities, against Metternich’s recommendation during the first half of the 19th century?

[@jackwalters5506]

They should have had a focused foreign policy at least. They should have realized that they weren't powerful enough to be dominant in Germany, Italy, and the Balkans and focused more heavily on one of those. Of those three, Germany had the best prospects as most of the minor German states were pro-Austrian and united with Austria against the common enemies in Prussia and France

[@gangwu4541]

Yes, I also think they should have focused in controlling Germany as they rooted in German culture. That could have changed everything!

[@SgtFoster]

This was great as always, thank you. My only complaint is that I could not hear it very well.

[@davrelltien7416]

Is there a list of the paintings that are in the opening slides how? And where does the music come from?

[@johnnotrealname8168]

Wait Wait Wait Wait! What is happening? Why do I see my favourite things?

[@davycrockett1112]

Your volume seems lower or maybe softer than used to be

[@richtea615]

Great stuff.

[@Vingul]

First + comments help the channel so don't CRY because you're JEALOUS of me being FIRST, please.

[@w3ss3x]

I'll do what I like

[@ik3a141]

I dont anybody actually cares if ur first? what are u a child fighting over who was first?

[@ComputingTheSoul]

It sounds remarkably familiar that the Holy League fell apart due to religious pluralism. Looking in from the outside, I have no idea why the DR doesn't essentially anathematize everybody who is not Catholic from it's ranks. I mean what is BAP actually giving you?

[@ApostolicMajesty]

BAP and I have never interacted

[@ComputingTheSoul]

I'm not speaking of you specifically, but of the DR in general.

[@heinoschaapman1584]

And Orthodox?

[@heinoschaapman1584]

Are you named after the Apostolic Monarchs of Hungary?

[@rogueraven1333]

Art in the video would be nice maps are great

[@2msvalkyrie529]

Or was it : The End of the Beginning. ?

[@cosminstanescu8534]

One correction, it was not the seat of Saint Peter in Rome that guaranteed unity in the first 1000 years of Christianity but the ecumenical councils and this same principle has been kept in the Church (Orthodox Catholic Church).

The Habsburgs were on their way out from their beginning

​@@JoseZamorano-c8h I'm guessing he was being sarcastic, a play on your absurd statement. But everything is doomed to go under eventually, maybe that's what you meant.
