When you mentioned about Castlereigh ending his own life I had to pause and read more into that. I knew nothing about him beyond what I'd learned in your excellent Congress of Vienna videos, and was surprised to learn that despite being one of the key figures behind the century of relative peace between 1815 and 1914, he was a deeply unpopular figure in his own lifetime. I think the best part was reading the epitaph that Lord Byron wrote for him, it's brutal. Posterity will ne'er survey A nobler grave than this: Here lie the bones of Castlereagh: Stop, traveller, and piss.

Castlereagh was suffering from extremely poor mental health in the last few years of his life and possibly developed psychotic depression, not helped by the death of his father and the constant media harassment. He began losing his ability to speak coherently in Parliament, developed paranoid delusions about his servants, and told his friends he was being blackmailed for performing homosexual acts. The Duke of Wellington basically had to drag him into a room and tell him bluntly that he was too mentally unwell to continue in his job and sent him back to his wife in the country, where he took his life shortly afterwards.

We don't expect better, so we aren't surprised when powerful people abuse their power and don't demand better - "Who cares if we get rid of this guy? The next guy will be just as corrupt anyway." People have become more and more cynical about politics over the last 20 years, which is understandable but the problem is if we don't expect better we won't _get_ better.

Frankenstein was written during this time. The volcano Mt. Tambora in Indonesia erupted in April 1815. It was the biggest eruption we've known in recorded history. It caused tremendous climate changes across the world which resulted in a lot of lost lives and other catastrophes. It enveloped much of the world in dark clouded skies. Hence 1816 was known as "the year without a summer". This was the same year when Mary Shelley, her husband Percy Bysshe Shelley, and others went to visit their mutual friend Lord Byron in Geneva, Switzerland in the summer of 1816. Since the skies were perpetually overcast, and the friends were mostly indoors in any case, Lord Byron challenged everyone to write the scariest story. Hence Frankenstein was born (along with other works including arguably the first vampire story, a precursor and an inspiration for Dracula). Edit: Several people brought up the good point that there are older vampire stories. So, in all good will, perhaps I can amend "arguably the first vampire story" instead to say something else like "arguably the first popular modern vampire story in English literature". Hopefully that's a little bit better at least, even if still imperfect.

17:49 - I think there is a significant misrepresentation of Spanish political life. Spanish liberalism grew IN OPPOSITION to Napoleon, and the actual liberal constitution that king Ferdinand betrayed was not the Napoleonic Bayonne Statute for 1808 (which is not considered a constitution by historians and was barely applied), but rather the 1812 Constitution, approved in Cadiz while the city was under siege by the Napoleonic army, so not quite the liberal saviours they are made to sound like. As a matter of fact, that idea that Spain was backwards and Napoleon came to paternalistically take it out of the Dark Ages was precisely Napoleon´s own supremacist and misinformed notion, which he had his propaganda machine attempt to spread in Spain, when in reality Spanish liberalism pre-dates the Napoleonic invasion. Not uncoincidentally, the Spanish word "liberal" became internationally widespread to define the movement, and the whigh liberal faction came to name itself so after Spanish liberal influence. That the Napolenic Bayonne Statute of 1808 imposed a system closer to an 18th century Ancienne Regime enligthened authoritarian monarchy with very minor reforms that were nevertheless barely applied due to the war. It goes without saying that "the people loved it" is a rather misplaced comentary. The true, revolutionary, liberal constitution was that of 1812, which was the third modern constitution after the American and the French, and was regarded as revolutionary in Europe. I imagine you are actually unconsciously referring to the 1812 Constitution yourself, because the Bayonne Statute did not grant universal male suffrage, and the 1812 fits the historical events you are describing (Ferdinand VII, the Three Liberal Years of 1820-23, etc).

These things are especially close to us now as volcanic activity is near constant near the capital in the last couple of years and the town of Grindavík had to be evacuated in its entirety this year.

He was fairly conservative about Parliamentary reform IIRC which at least up until the 1832 Reform Act was one of the main dividing lines between the Whigs and the Tories. Not sure where he stood on other domestic issues like the Corn Laws and Catholic Emancipation off the top of my head.

I feel like The US involvement in the Monroe Doctrine is being slightly undervalued. It wasn't an accident that the Monroe Doctrine exclusively blocked future European colonialism in the Americas, whilst at the same time leaving the door open for 1. The US to exert colonial influence over the Americas, and 2. Allowing existing European colonies in the Americas (mostly British at this point). It basically locked the door behind the Americans and British, allowing America to exploit future opportunities and Britain to maintain current operations. So it wasn't exactly a free coup for the British, as they had to allow America to use the Monroe Doctrine in their own favor.

@leonardwei3914 2 ай бұрын

Agreed, it seems he narrates it in a manner that the British pulled a fast one on the United States. Canning wanted the U.S. to issue a joint declaration with Britain since both nations had similar concerns (and objectives) regarding colonization. President James Monroe, former presidents James Madison and Thomas Jefferson were all receptive to the idea, but SecState John Quincy Adams was against a joint declaration, so Monroe ended up unilaterally issued the Monroe Doctrine. Of course in reality the U.S. was in no position to uphold the doctrine, thus relying mostly on British naval power for enforcement, but post Civil War would change that.

All my previous studies had made little effort to show interaction on a broad scale, so we learned of Garibaldi, for example, but without much context. This is priceless as a series, and I hope i can watch all of it. Of course, i subscribed.
