See you in the New Year.

When comes the north america timeline? You must work hard for it!

Love your videos!💚

Very nice stuff, Tigerstar. You have truly improved since the last time you covered this war. Quick question: Would you ever be open to the possibility of making mapping videos according to the lore of Kaiserreich (before 1936, obviously)? I just think it would be really cool to see those conflicts play out in your style. Anyways, have a great day, and I'll see you in the New Year.

Bro, that's look a regular Hoi4 player making speedrun to Paris. 😂

Bro it would never happen

​@@davimoneylender4112 Imagine if Germany atack From Belgum and the United Kingdom joins in France Side,LOL

Bro don't worry france got a sick _defensive line_ this time. And plus, They say the Ardennes is impassible 😉

​@@Elpapu_darth777​ What? That would never happen, the only thing crazier than that would be if, I do not know, the reason for this conflict being a Serbian guy who shot an Austro-Hungarian dude? 😂

imagine after that war another war started a few years later, because of borders 😂 😂 😂 @@Daniboy0826

Because Germans were in Justice....With an actual logic , not like France and his unbridled payments that Germany must pay for WW1.

It's easier when you have an empire and can milk the colonies and natives for taxes.

Well, the french had their colonies (since centuries, even in Europe) 🙃 makes it a lot easier to pay fast and regain full sovereignty

The Germans with the Versailles reparations vs France with the indemnity

@@gaborangecloud Doesn’t make in the slightest sense to compare the two.

They didn’t the history of identification tags goes back the the Romans

What does this have to do with Mexico? The mexican intervention ended before the Franco-Prussian conflict

Probably with the French Invasion of Mexico, since well, this main front is after the Civil War (1865)? No, I only know basic stuff about that, since I'm not American

@@ZirconKZX being american would mean you have a higher chance to know even less, as an american who knows less I can confirm this statement.

@@Seft2_ there were still french troops in mexico after their defeat in the intervention. so they stood there and could do nothing as prussia defeated france at home

For those wondering The Second French Intervention on Mexico took place a few years before the Franco-Prussian War. The reason France began to retreat from Mexico was that war. Although I would argue Maximilian Habsburg would have been a better ruler of Mexico than Juarez (Maximilian decriminalized homosexuality and abolished child labour for example)

Yeah France was famously one of the biggest supporter/protectors of Papal independence, so when they suddenly get defeated and their emperor surrounded and deposed, the Papacy lost their greatest protector.

The details, very nice

And both Germany and Italy are not completely united until today.

​@Panzerschokolade9 So much for self determination.

@@nmpolo A lot of places that Italy and Germany have laid claim to in the past, do not really want to "unify" with them, even if they are Italian or German people living there, especially if it means fighting a big bloody war over them. Most of them are fine living in the country they are in. Now with the EU, where they can easily move if they so wished, the fact that most don't and still live there shows they are pretty fine with their lives there.

I couldn’t find much information on all of them and the ones I could find were ones that either never got to the level of seizing a city like Besancon or were crushed in one day so they wouldn’t show up anyway, like in Lyons.

@@EmperorTigerstar 👍

by standard of a single-day occupation by leftist collective, there was also a St Louis Commune in 1877. But recording that on a day-by-day map would look quite boring

@@EmperorTigerstar Can you do me a favor, can you please remove the "(v.2)" part in the video’s title please since it’s the latest version of this war video as of right now please?

@@EmperorTigerstarThanks!

I think it was.

It was my first every-day video but my style was a bit different then. No cities, no name labels, usually thinner borders. Smaller sized maps too.

@@EmperorTigerstar So it was kinda sorta your current style, but not as detailed.

Right? Nobody could have foreseen that it would become most powerful economy in Europe. Even the "Made in Germany" label backfired :( Welp, time to somehow find a way to colonize them. It'll take decades, maybe even half a century but we're gonna try!

When I recall correctly I think the Germans simply went around them in order not to waste time and efforts and simply tried to make them surrender over time by making them exhaust themselves.

True

I second this

maybe the partitioning of the ottoman empire ?

Technically the Soviet Union, arguably, in 1923, when Germany and Austria lost WW1. Turkey won a war of independence in 2023 too against the Ottomans and the Greeks and a bunch of others. France in 1945 won as part of the Allied powers, having the Third Republic destroyed in the process. France in the 100 Years War. France won a bunch of wars against several coalitions in the 1790s.

England/the uk during the war of Spanish succession. We started the war as the kingdom of England under king William III of the house of orange (married to the house of stuart) and ended the war as the uk of great britain under king George the first of the house of hannover.

@@robertjarman3703You making absolutely zero sense.

@@robertjarman3703 This has to be a troll right?

Started here, ended when they got kicked out of indochina (Algeria maybe)

Because they were all in an alliance against France and at war with them.

@@EmperorTigerstar, I'm still a bit surprised that the Southern German states joined the North German Confederation at all. Or that it was briefly renamed to the German Confederation. That's kind of funny.

ㅤㅤㅤ

Not much different as Germany taking Alsace-Lorraine was more of an excuse for the saltiness. The true saltiness came from having lost at all, and the majority German parts of Alsace and parts of Lorraine not being under the control of the french state anymore was a reminder of that.

@@Ultima-Signa And the majority French parts of Lorraine, such as Metz? The Alsatian-speaking regions themselves sent protest delegations to the Reichstag for decades after, it's clear that the annexation was a major factor. Bismarck said so himself.

France would had more territory during WW1.

Not really correct, as the French indemnities started a financial bubble in Germany, caused a financial crisis and almost crashed the whole German economy 💀

@@Ultima-Signa if that is true, my school textbook was wrong.

​@@Ultima-Signatruly suffering from success

​@@Krasipolyou Look Up the 1873 Depression

Shouldn't have built the Arc after Austerlitz if they didn't want an army to walk through it

No, it was by far not more than what Germany was forced to pay. Not even close. And keep in mind that France did have her colonies and there has been a long history of France invading German lands before. Also the French marched through Berlin after the end of ww1 AND during Napoleon’s times(the Germans then returned that favor again both times and 3 times total). I also don’t recall millions of French civilians starving to death due to a blockade(even still after the Versailles treaty was signed), or having to give up all colonies, having ALL foreign assets frozen and confiscated, having to give up several majority and historically French territories, having to give up most of their mines and industrial output while at the same time. Ring forced to pay reparations, having to give up control over their own military force, having to face invasions of their industrial heartland when payment didn’t occur right at time(joint French and Belgian invasion of the Rhineland in the 1920s with massacres and rapes happening), or having give up her entire naval and commercial fleet. But all of this and even more happened to Germany right after the end of ww1 as a result of Versailles Treaty. Not to mention that the right of self-determination for German speaking people had been violated continuously post-ww1. All important factors for why the Treaty of Versailles is so controversial and disliked, so many things that you‘ve simply glossed over. What you have said there is a modern myth that is based on old propaganda.

No Germany had to pay a lot more, the numbers aren’t even close

​​@@Ultima-SignaSome things were unnaceptable, however German invasion of France led to 300.000 French civilians deaths, turned most of North-East France to a no man's land and by the way greatly weakened French industrial capacity. The treaty was poorly made, but strong sanctions had to be taken, in the end Germany kept most of its territories and population and its great industrial capacity, guess what happened later. We can also mention Germans slaughters during the invasion of Belgium, far away from being a poor victim

@@Ultima-Signa The irony of you talking about propaganda while repeating 1930s German propaganda about the soft slap on the wrist that was Versailles. WWI was a bourgeois imperialist conflict but Germany started the war. Everything you are listing was their damn fault. Imagine if the terms had actually been harsh and the Nazis prevented from power, as after 1945. That would have been a downright utopian world to live in compared to what happened.

Attacker is red.

And that’s incorrect as France usually has been the attacker/aggressor throughout history, thus France should be red more often than not.

Isn't it kinda significant? I guess in Germany, the German Empire as a whole is kinda glanced over too (For lack of time and to be fair also modern significance), but the end of the second French Empire seems pretty important, even ignoring the other implications like the German Empire as a new major power, preset for WWI, Paris Commune etc.

It‘s also ironic that this whole story was kicked off/started by French arrogance (1870) and then it all ended with German arrogance (1945). But your comment really doesn’t make much sense. Why start at 1870? Could also go further back in time and look into what started the war of 1870/71 in the first place and then there’s no end to that for some while.

Versailles wasn't the main factor in the rise of the Nazis, that has more to do with the Great Depression, bourgeois anticommunism, and seeds planted by German militarism in the prior decades, as well as most importantly the nature of European colonial violence, which inevitably turned inwards.

@@CharlotteSWeb-oh7ou true, but when I wrote that I meant it as it was one of the factors which led to the Nazis taking power.

Yep and French people to this day claim "1871 was worse then Versailles treaty" LOL like what are the people smoking ?

Message de la France Non

@@barnabe1922 then you will have to be defeated again.😉

"Treated with honour" Mass executions of non-combatants and soldiers who already surrendered, towns and villages were burned for no reason, stealing food and housing, thousands were beaten and raped, attacking civilians with artillery and almost completely destroyed industry. Alsace has been a part of France since 1680 which is longer then Gdansk was German for

@@vihanuyyuru6 Your fake stories you can tell to other people. Our borders will be the same as those in 1914. Any attempt to resist will lead to another episode of french surrender and marching through Paris.

В ином случае во Франции могли бы зародиться ещё большие реваншистские силы, да и не забывай что почти вся северная Франция была оккупированной до тех пор пока Франция не выплатит репарации. Тот же Бисмарк настаивал на том что бы не трогать даже Эльзас, что бы не пробудить французскую нацию на реванш как это в своё время сделал Наполеон, что собственно и привело к итогам Франко Прусской. Думаю напоминать к чему привёл уже французский реванш не стоит, а теперь представь если бы немцы отжали ещё больше территорий (в которых кстати процент немцев был бы ещё меньше) вплоть до условного Седана, ты представляешь себе условия Версаля в этой временной шкале?

Stupid for the French, pretty smart for the Germans.

Lol

Italy had in fact considered joining in an anti-Prussian coalition of France, Austria-Hungary and itself earlier in the year.

@@KaiserFranzJosefINever heard of it. Also wouldn’t make much sense as Prussia and Italy were very close at the time, as Prussia had helped Italy a lot during its unification and independence war + Italy despised Austria-Hungary. Not to forget that Italy seized the Papacy of which France was a protector + Italy couldn’t even have done much to stall Prussian efforts anyways. Sounds like a myth.

@@KaiserFranzJosefIAlso there wasn’t even any ´anti-Prussian coalition‘… where do you have that from?

@@Ultima-Signa You never hearing of it ain't my problem buddy. Prussia and Italy were never close, Prussia hadn't lifted a finger to aid Italian unification while only agreeing to an alliance with Italy against Austria to gain French promises of neutrality. Otherwise, the Italian Government was deeply Francophilic. There is ample evidence that discussions for the creation of an anti-Prussian coalition was underway in 1868 before falling apart primarily over Hungarian veto and the Roman Question. At no point did Italy consider siding against France. From the Last Days of Papal Rome: "The alliance, proposed two years before 1870, between France, Italy, and Austria, was never concluded because Napoleon III [...] would never consent to the occupation of Rome by Italy. [...] He wished Austria to avenge Sadowa, either by taking part in a military action, or by preventing South Germany from making common cause with Prussia. [...] If he could insure, through Austrian aid, the neutrality of the South German States in a war against Prussia, he considered himself sure of defeating the Prussian army, and thus would remain arbiter of the European situation. But when the war suddenly broke out, before anything was concluded, the first unexpected French defeats overthrew all previsions, and raised difficulties for Austria and Italy which prevented them from making common cause with France. Wörth and Sedan followed each other too closely. The Roman question was the stone tied to Napoleon's feet - that dragged him into the abyss. He never forgot, even in August 1870, a month before Sedan, that he was a sovereign of a Catholic country, that he had been made Emperor, and was supported by the votes of the conservatives and the influence of the clergy; and that it was his supreme duty not to abandon the Pontiff. [...] For twenty years Napoleon III had been the true sovereign of Rome, where he had many friends and relations [...] Without him the temporal power would never have been reconstituted, nor, being reconstituted, would have endured.[22]"

@@KaiserFranzJosefI Do you also have an unbiased source that couldn’t be brushed off as late-stage propaganda in order to irritate enemies? I mean in your quite it even says that Napoleon III actually would have been the true ruler of Papal Rome. I wonder why Italy attacked him then when Italy actually wanted to align with him against Prussia. Btw: the ´deeply francophile Italy‘ invaded France in 39 and annexed French territory… who do you think did Italy from a geopolitical point of view disliked more mad wished to see weakened: Prussia or Austria? There can have been discussions for everything - that’s politics. Especially when you do have 2 very strong neighbors that you fear because they used to invade your country quite a lot. Doesn’t mean high-profile gentlemen were the ones leading such discussions or that there would have been any real possibility. Could have just been Italian bargaining and politicking yet again and the way events played out that’s also very likely what it has been. And that’s also something that Italy is famous for.

Your point being..?

Germany formed in 1871, and not a day before. "Germany" before referred to the area the Romans called Germania, and not a land united under a monarch who stood for all the speakers of various dialects of Germanic throughout the Empire. The history of France begins with the Franks, because they're the inheritors of their rule, and because the latter had assimilated into the Gaul-like populace not a generation into ruling over them.

@@user-ru9dn6sx7g Every single thing stated in your comment is completely wrong. Shame on you and your non-knowledge and arrogance… lol

had to research about this just to confirm you weren't inhaling too much copium.

@@guard6069 The Russian fleet also threatened to Shell Australian ports along with other British Pacific Colonies if Britain aided the Confederates. A confederate war ship spent a lot of time in Australian waters and was supported by the Australian public, some even signing on as crew members. This Confederate war ship laid waist to the US Pacific whaling fleet and is reported to have fired the last shot in the war. The name of the ship was called the CSS Shenandoah. Russia also helped Thailand (Kingdom of Siam) maintain its sovereignty from being completely Partitioned/Annexed from the British and French around the same time. The very word Thai (ไทย) means 'free man' in the Thai language which is partially to thank to the Russians as they might have ended up being a colony or part of another country/colony if not for their intervention.

Jeez, who told you that load of nonsense? It's just one whopper after another.

@@CharlotteSWeb-oh7ou For a little more Context: The British (City of London) are the ones who created our divide in the first place to put brother against brother. After the war Lincoln wanted to rebuild the South and had plans to do so. He and half his Cabinet were assassinated by London. Many of the others that survived had multiple assassination attempts on them especially William Seward who had around a dozen or so, a few almost killing him. Most of the Confederate Operations for the Civil War and post war plans and assassinations were made in London and then sent to Montreal a hub for spies and intel in the Americas for the British Empire then passed through to Confederate President Jefferson Davis to follow the orders. Many of the South's own leaders were selling out the South to British interest even General Lee. Unfortunately London had many of their Tentacles and Webs on both sides. Lincoln stated that the Department Of State is completely controlled by British Interest that he had to constantly fight against. It was in the 1870s that a Paradigm Shift happened were the British took control within the Reunited States through subversion (which was easier to do now as their agents were brought back into the Union and many of their opponents assassinated) and have had it all the way up to this day. Some presidents fought against it like Garfield, McKinley, Harding, Roosevelt, and Kennedy and all were killed.
