Changing the Map of Europe Back to 1815

[@sgp2010]

Europe in 1815: we won't have a major war in at least 100 years! Europe in 1914: we got so close...

[@scipioafricanus5871]

Does Crimean War 1853-6 not count? At least it involved Russia, France, Turkey, Great Britain, Sardinia-Piedmont so quite a few of the Great Powers.

[@rbfilms4752]

Yeah it's really not true that there weren't any major conflicts in Europe for 100 years. The Crimean War and Franco-Prussian War were pretty damn defining, as were the oh so many different revolutions that happened in the 1820s, then again in 1848, then yet again in the 1860s/1870s. The reality is that there wasn't a "continent-spanning" war with a multi-million+ death toll like the Napoleonic Wars for 100 years. And in the history of Europe nothing like those wars had ever really happened to begin with. So the phrase is almost a non-sequitur, because the reality is that Napoleon fundamentally changed how wars would be fought.

[@sgp2010]

No, not many many people died and the war ALMOST never left the Crimean Peninsula. RB Films brought up the Franco-Prussian war, but is only involved France, Prussia, and some other German states. Still not many people dies like in the French Revolution, the Napoleonic Wars, or the World Wars.

[@rbfilms4752]

Not as many people died (although it was still in the hundreds of thousands for both conflicts, which is no small number.) However, the political ramifications of the wars were still very huge in their times. It's a shame that they've been forgotten by the mainstream of history because they absolutely were important.

Thats because there's no physical borders, its borders are entirely political. Nearly all of eastern europe is like this: just flat grass planes

[@PsychShrew]

Imagine showing a modern map to someone back then! I'd love to know all the questions they'd ask. Obviously one of the main things is german reunification, but if they ask why Germany is so much smaller than the German Confederation, then you'd have to explain 2 World Wars. And Italian Reunification would be a big point too, I suppose. I don't know if the Ottomans were called the "sick man of Europe" back then, but if not you'd have to explain why they lost their whole empire. I think they'd be extremely shocked about Russia. Sure, maybe they'd understand an independent Poland and Finland, but there are so many more countries in eastern Europe now. One of the questions would probably be asking why Ireland exists without northern Ireland. I suppose Austria would also be shocking. I don't know if their empire was as unstable as Austria-Hungary, but if not then you'd have to explain a lot. Sometimes I wish historians had a time machine to go back and show this map to someone back then and find out all the questions they'd have to ask.

[@sciblastofficial9833]

Dude what happened to Norway? They split up How did Russia get smaller? Well it was engulfed in a future ideology, then America which just got the White House burnt down, will become a great power, and it will fight against Russia, causing Russia to lose its territory. Wait why is Germany smaller? Well they reunited but then there were 2 giant wars, Germany lost them both How did the Ottomans get smaller? Wait why are they named Turkey now? It was because of the 1st giant war, which also caused Russia to be engulfed in the ideology.

[@nugzarmikeladze]

existence of Belgium would be hardest to explain.

[@FrancescoDondi]

I don't think Austria-Hungary was considered unstable back then; nationalism only really started about 50 years later.

You mean the non-binding Helsinki accords, which were not a treaty and thus means that Kosovo can be independent.

[@stojankovacic1524]

Timothy Wingates YOU DON'T SAY!!!! Yes, they wanted independence but it couldn't happen because Yugoslavia was the deciding one there, but they did it anyway because 'Murica

[@stojankovacic1524]

Timothy Wingates Yugoslavia was 80 years old and it was created because Croats and Slovenians wanted to join Serbia because they didn't have a government after WW1. People now miss Yugoslavia and it broke apart because parties like the Croatian Neo-nazi party aka HDZ and Serbian Neo-nazi party aka SRS. Nationalism and USA destroyed Yugoslavia, not that people really wanted it. Now we have a pretty much joke saying 'Now we know that many things they tought us about socialism were a lie but that everything they tought us about capitalism was true' I was saying that it couldn't have happened because of the already mentioned accords of Helsinki. Also who told you 'Serbia'? Tito was a Croat and Yugoslav motive was 'Bratstvo i jedinstvo!' which means 'Brotherhood and unity!'

[@stojankovacic1524]

They did want it but now we deeply regret it... I'm from Bosnia and I can tell you, we are not progressing, we are degressing. Unemployment is among the highest in Europe, 27% which is about a quarter of the population, average salary is 400 euros, education is useless if you aren't moving away because the intelectual elite is the middle class while war profiters who exploited the times of war to rob their own country which they now rule are the high class... we are doomed. Now in Croatia they asked the people I think 3 years back and 88% of the people older than 45 (25+ years of living in Yugoslavia) wanted Yugoslavia back and the older they were (more expirience in Yugoslavia) the percentage was bigger. There was no testing in Serbia as far as I know but I would expect even more pro-Yugoslav results because the Croats were the ones that rebeled!

Adem Turan you’re Turkish as you mentioned earlier so you should know your history well also i don’t think it’s morally possible to compare between the British and the ottomans because an invasion is still inhuman no matter who does it because innocent people are involved and history and legacy is being destroyed, however the ottoman invasion lasted longer therefore it’s harmful effects are more scarring than the others . The middle east has been dealing with conflict, war and destruction and stealing of our economical resources for uncountable amount of years and god know if it’ll ever have a peaceful era . Lastly i don’t think refugees leave there home land by choice they’re forced to after losing everything so no one appreciates calling them dumb, also you can’t deny that your Turkish government had a hand in the Syrian conflict .

5:44 Wasn't the Dutch province of Limburg (a strip of land pressed against the German border) also part of the German Confederation at this point? -edit- Nope. "With the Treaty of London, what is now the Belgian Province of Luxembourg was handed over to Belgium and removed from the German Confederation. To appease Prussia [...], the Dutch province of Limburg (but not the cities of Maastricht and Venlo because without them Limburg's population equalled that of the Province of Luxembourg, 150,000 [1]), was joined to the German Confederation between September 5, 1839 and August 23, 1866 as Duchy of Limburg."

You said that they joined an 1839, but this video is changing it to 1815

thank you very much for making this video! I have a class of "congrès de vienne " and I literally understood nothing as there are drastic changes of the maps from 19century to today.

It’s not really an ”inbred flow” though ( Mostly😂).

[@michietn5391]

Wow. Superb essay. I'm going to watch it again. However, it would be better if the map had been panned slightly farther south (not much information at the top), and stretched a bit to the east, even at the expense of altering the aspect ratio (squeezing), if necessary.

[@samuelkatz1124]

I own an atlas from 1856, where all the tiny German and Italian states are all listed. Imagine having to remember all of them for an exam 150 years ago...

[@joe18750]

with no telephone, radio, TV, cinema, or internet for distractions it may have been much simpler than you think.

[@HenrikML]

Thank you so god damn much man! No one ever seems to recognise the fact that Norway and Sweden were in a personal union and not just the same country. We fought abloody war in 1814 to achieve a union with Seden and not straight up anexation. Thank you for being a good mother****** and actually researching stuff before you tell people about us!

I enjoyed that, very interesting when you see it pictorially .

Fun fact: After Napoleon was exiled the first time, he came back and was surrounded by a French Regiment. He then shouted "I am your Emperor! Who would shoot their Emperor?" The soldiers then joined forces with Napoleon and he rose to power again for 100 days (I think?)

[@11Survivor]

Well that's what I learnt at school, at least. Although the shouting part might have been embellished.

[@1000eau]

You should make map, before 1795

[@steffensegoviahelbo5065]

I think you should at very least had mentioned that While Sweden on paper was together with Norway in a loose "Personal Union" that Norway was declared an independent state by the Norwegians under the Norwegian King which incidentally was elected as the Danish crown prince. They created a constitution that introduced a sort of self governance even after the Swedish forced Norway to switch the king to the Swedish king it was a hollow victory because in effect Norway had already moved all the power of the state from the king to the parliament. Essentially Sweden had no say in how Norway was ruled and taxed even after they forced them selves on the crown, which by the way changed back to the another branch of the family in 1905 when Sweden finally gave up trying to rule the unruly Norwegians.

[@think9747]

No end of reconquista is 1492

[@JonnyJayKhan]

It's crazy to think that for most of European history Austria was a far bigger power than Prussia aka Germany, also crazy along similar lines is that Kiev was founded long before Moscow or St Petersberg

[@platenoise256]

damn, i think my ancestors lived in spain instead of mexico while this was going on

[@markhenley3097]

Yup. Although Mexico City was just called Mexico, so there was a chance they could live in both.

[@henryb.2941]

in 1815 Mexico was part of New Spain. They became independent of Spain in 1821 ;-)

[@faustogiorno2300]
