    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.

      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.

    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.

Instead the British supported it in its infancy, backing America’s promise while the US reaped all the political benefits which simply couldn’t be given to a colonial power such as Britain.

    18:11 That constitution wasn't impose by Napoleon, but rather by a liberal assembly in Cadiz with the objective of restoring the Spanish king under a more liberal regime. After the defeat of Napoleon, Ferdinand VII returned to Spain but rejected the constitution just as the video says.

      And when he fakingly accepted it, it was because there was a mutiny, of the army that was supposed to go recover Argentina.
      Also, that mutiny succeeding and Ferdinand saying that he would accept all those liberal things is what led to the de actual independence of Mexico and central America, as up until then the rebels there had been kept under control but the elites were very conservative and joined them.

      I didn't know much about 19th century spanish history, always found it confusing. But I was disappointed to hear that Ferdinand VII was so absolutist, I had no idea. It's a shame since he was Spain's future hope for a better future when the Spanish fought so hard against the French in his name and instead after the war is over Ferdinand seems to end up the exact path as Carlos III and wants to destroy himself. Also a big shame for Spanish people and their pride getting such bad kings two times in a row.

In the eyes of the people it would have been +5 years of war and destruction only to change the name of the ruler but accepting all the principles it had brought, looking at traditicional anthems and songs of the time show the general rejection of liberalism, not just in Spain, also in Italy for example. Moreover, after Ferdinand death a civil war started in Spain called 1º Carlist War between the daughter of Ferdinand which ally with the liberals, and the other side constituited of lower aristocracy(the high aristocracy sided with the liberals on the mayority...) and the peasants . The war was won by the liberals because Britain sided with them.

    You know the eruption of Laki was a major factor of the French revolution too, and I sometimes see people talk about it, but almost never from the Icelandic perspective, where the "Hardship of Fogs" killed 1 out of every 5 Icelanders and 75% of livestock through noxious gas and ash that blocked out the sun and poisoned livestock, along with accounts of people being trapped by lava flows and farmland lost under vast new lava fields. 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.

You're right the gases released devastated Iceland and harmed agriculture on the continent.
