The Franco-Prussian War was a conflict between the two great powers of Europe who were vying for dominance over the continent.
This war eventually leads to the formation of the German Empire and the end of the Second French Empire.
But how did Prussia aka the North German Confederation actually beat France when France was viewed as one of the strongest continental powers in Europe?
How did the war look like and how did it start?
Well you can find that all out in this great video by the Armchair Historian!
After playing Prussia himself in the latest Hearts of Iron 4 video, Tommy figured out that he doesn't know much about German history.
Being a German himself and not knowing some of the most important history for Germany is a little weird so it's time Tommy learns from one of the best history channels on CZcams, the Armchair Historian.
In this video we will find out how Germany was united and how it became a Great Power after centuries of division, how Prussia crushed France this easily and the end of the last Napoleon.
Thanks again to the Armchair Historian for this great content!

So after that last Prussia video, Tommy realized he knows absolutely nothing about German history in the 19th Century.
I know right, how does a German actually not know anything about the unification of Germany and about this war in general.
Well anyways that's why he's going to be watching Armchair Historian's Video on the Franco-Prussian War!

I love how he is amused by basic German history which is also taught outside of Germany
It isn't taught in Germany for some reason though, because you skip straight to world war 2 which you will be having for 4 years+
German history class prefers focusing on aztecs and romans and ww2 MAYBE if your class is fast you get to the cuba crisis
Makes you think that they don't want you to know the history of germany
@@AclibButLikeTheRealOne what a shame. Germans should be proud of their history. Nazis did terrible stuff but German history is much larger
@@GodlessTurtles Germans should be proud of their entire history. You Turks praise Soviets meanwhile cursing Nazis. I suggest you to do some research yourself instead of eating whatever mainstream media throws at you.
German and Italian unification get a pretty big amount of focus in the US. Bismarck and Realpolitik got more attention then the War of 1812 and other 19th century american events (except for the civil war)
Fun fact: The Prussians had better maps of France than the French themselves
Like the soviets with London I think too . Am I wrong ?

Markoni doing honest work, the animation and art design are the best traits of Armchair's videos, they are great visual stimuli.
always great to hear people like the visuals. the amount of work both the art team and animation team had to put in for a couple of sec in the video is insane, and we had to do everything in just 1 week for art and 1 week for animation. even professional studios im working for now cant compare to this level of dedication in armchair.

fun fact:
The belgian army stood guard at their relative new borders, making sure neither side used belgium to cross over towards the battlefields.
Even at the battle of Sedan, the belgians stood ready to disarm any soldiers crossing the border.
Cool fact

@@aygianalt If Britain doesnt intervene
@@unserkatzenland8884 True. But tbh, the British Army was very small at the time since they invested mostly in the Navy. There is a chance that Belgium still might get overrun, especially by Prussia...
@@aygianalt depends how fast they mobilize, and the Dutch would likely intervene too.
4:35 My family has always kept good track of our family lineage and history. One of our most venerated ancestors was an American Cavalry commander who took part in the American-Mexican War, and fought for the Union during the Civil War. He was highly decorated and survived both conflicts. Since I've always had a much greater interest in history than the rest of my family, I managed to convince everyone to let me have his sabre. It's a family relic at this point.
If i may know whats his name?
come on man tell us we wanna know
thats really cool dude wtf

Yeah yeah you had been that lucky, Napoleon III completely served the military interests of France and the French infantry, he unified Italy by killing his own French soldiers, the majority of French soldiers were in the French colonies elsewhere, Algeria, Indonesia, Mexico during the Mexican expedition... in French metropolis, France so we had some 200,000 soldiers, attributed these with our French soldiers

The Prussians especially had a military advantage against the Danes and Austrians because the Prussians used back loaded rifles while their enemies had to muzzle load them while standing in line
France had the advantage.

Armchair Historian is actually producing a game set in the Victorian Era called Fire and Maneuver. Not an FPS, but still a historical time period which should get more love imo.
Im named after my 2x great grandfather who fought in this war, whom my grandma loved very much. Were Polish and came from the province of Posen, and I it really fascinating learning new stuff about this conflict.
Lets kurwa gooo

In France Napoléon III is very forgotten because of his military defeat, but in fact, all Paris is still as he designed it. We still march on the streets and we still love the buildings he designed. And if France was so industraly strong in 1914, it is thank to him ! We owe him a lot of things, but his defeat totally destroyed his reputation and this is very sad
He was stabbed in the back
Bismarck strongly industrialized Germany in the end of the 19th. He also prevented Germany from colonies, in order to concentrate capital in Germany. As a result, even industrialized, Germany had fewer colonies than Belgium for example. It was only later that Germany launched its colonial conquest, in Europe. We know the rest...
Tommy should play ‘Holdfast: Nations at War’!
The Prussian Victory in Sedan used to be a holiday known as "Sedantag"

Yess, finally, Armchair Historian and TommyKay
4:48 that's super interesting to think about. Funny thing, my great great great grandpa probably fought yours as my ancestors (on my mom's side) immigrated from France to the US, where i live now.
crazy right
Why does this makes me sad that I will never be able to see how Königsberg would look like if it was still German?
@Renan_PS The soviet governments specialty was essentially destroying cultures and annexing regions.
Now that I think of it, maybe that's just Russia's specialty in general...
@Erwin Rommel Uhm, because of the name, I hope this is roleplay
@Renan_PS Allies: ,,Let's not punish Germany too badly, it might lead to nationalism rizing again."
Stalin: ,,I apprechiate your input, butplease, fuck off!"
And ironic that nationalism is actually the strongest in former soviet Germany, although there were a lot of political mistakes which lead to this.
@Erwin Rommel 😂😂😂 it wasn't the soviets neither is the Russians who have the pos modern art in their cities.
@@leon1x1 it is not ironic. While in the comunist bloc they said the rise of fascism in Germany and ww2 was the fauld of capitalism, in the west capitalist countries they just said the fault was all because of German patriotism, militarism and the German people themselves. In East Germany, the people were much more patriotic germans than in west Germany, already before the unification.
How does he not know this, this is basic history.
Because people don't know everything you know about, this is history and history is not told the same way to everyone, sometimes school doesn't cover everything (even important periods), I don't know how old you're but school programs change every 3 years or so (or at least that's what happens in France), if you don't read or learn history outside of school you don't usually know about a lot of history subject.
Because school curriculum isn't the same everywhere. In Ireland for example, only history from the 20th century is covered in detail and the rest is briefly glossed over.
Tommy needs to react to something about frederick the great
I love these videos Tommy
17:16 My dad is a photographer that uses this method to photograph. Its almost 200 years old and there are currently only a 100 people doing this in the world and here in Croatia 2 people do it. Then the exposure was 5 seconds long and if someone moved in the 5 seconds the image would be blurry. My dad won a lot of awards at competitions at numerous galeries but he never got any money from that. He enjoy's it very much but its sad for me to look at him knowing that he will soon stop doing that. If he cant get money from the photography he cant afford to repair the machines and buy all the chemicals. It's sad that not a lot of people are intrested in that. If someone reading this is intrested my dad's name is Robert Gojević, google his name and you can see more about him.
The ultimate form of humility, is losing an offensive war.
There is a war memorial in my town called: Die Schlacht von Sedan. About 200 men from my town died there.
Napoleon III: (breathes)
Bismarck: *I am 400 parallel universes ahead of you*
TommyKay: *Finally watches Franco-Prusso war video by Armchair historian*
Me: "Long have I waited..."
I have an ancestor from the early 1800's who moved from Moscow to Stockholm just after Russia annexed Finland. He tried to become a part of the king's Life Guard, he was denied. (I wonder why🤔)
cool story nonetheless

ik ik im late to this vid but when coming back to watch tommy k it takes time timmmmme
YES
really like you reaction to history videos
What this doesn’t point out was that the chas-poite rifle had a tendency to jam after about 50 shots. This meant that the needle rifle was a superior rifle due to the fact that it wouldn’t jam 50 shots into a battle
*Sees a dude with messed up teeth
“Oh the British were helping them?”
This vid legit helped my EAONB because it made me LARP with artillery which actually kicked ass
Tommy should try out Crusader Blade it lets you play ck3 battle to ck3!
21:39 wow nice detail, the french war minister actually escaped the seige of paris via hot air balloon!
fuck this shit, I'm out.mp3
thanks to you, i have been playing HOI4, can you give me any tips on how to be gud as france and germany?
Tommy should try playing holdfast if he wants a 19th century fps
Tommy can you react to the video "Why You've Never Heard of the Great Depression of 1920" by Thomas E. Woods, Jr. Please.
After Prussian history, Austrian economics!
@@awordabout...3061 It's nice to see that there are people who still know about Austrian Economics.
Hey tommy during the death charge Bismarck son was in that cavalry charge don't worry he survived.
With his ancestors rant I knew and had a good relationship with my great great grandmother
The armchair historian is amazing creating and I’m glad he’s getting all this recognition
Hey Tommy the Armchair Historian is making a game called Fire and Maneuver
Tommy should check out the new mod for CK3, which allows you to fight BATTLES IN BANNERLORD 2.
it is bannerlord 1

Urban legend said its after 1870 Sedan war that French people doesn't said "70" but *70*(as 60+10)
My great great grandfather was a polish conscript that fought and helped create Germany so that's pretty cool
That's cool
@@CatnamedMittens yes it's really cool
Tommy saying “I’m a big fan of the TV show handmaids tale” is some severe whiplash with what I expected from him!
Fun fact: the original handmaids tale book was written after the Author went to Cold War Berlin In the 80s. I have no clue how the Capitalist VS Communist split made her think of Feminism VS religion in America but I guess it works if you try hard enough.
Berlin? I'm pretty sure it was based around iran which had recently turned to sharia law and this inspired her as Iran pre revolution was very progressive ...
7:45 there is a mod for a game called mount and blade warband and it gos from 1860-1916 and nobody my age likes muskets and stuff but I think I am the only one who dose
I see that the last Prussia video awoke something in Tommy
If only learning about Prussian history could awake something in all Germans.
One line of my family specifically a German one has people dating to the 1530s and on other one could have served or been reserve troop during a few German wars or unification.
How Prussia Destroyed France
1. Step Open HoI4
2. Step Open Console
3. "Annex FRA"
4. Problem? [ *Insert Troll Face* ]
yeah modern games focus on ww2 till now except for battlefield which they did a ww1 game and its kinda dissapointing because if more large game industries did older wars it would be somewhat fun to play at least to me
Griaß di Tommy du Saupreiß!
I work in Historical Research for the IFZ in München with focus on Contemporary German History so seeing what you know about and what not is always interesting.
That said, i'm not surprised because our History Classes leave a lot to be desired for regarding German History that doesn't start with WWI and ends with the Wiedervereinigung.
So it's rather normal to not know about German History before 1914 as a German.
Prost & Cheers from the Berchtesgadener Land here in the beautiful Bavarian Alps
More comments from Markoni pls, this made my day
Warband big game about that era
4:43 I had Prussian ancestors who lived in Bremen since the Napoleonic wars alive at that time. They moved to West Prussia itself to find work and get away from the war. joke's on them they moved back to Bremen shortly after WW1 broke out, they avoided both wars.
The precursor of the treaty of versailles.
the graphics are great because its probably coming from the same guys making his game Fire & Maneuver. Sadly the game doesnt look very interesting to me, but i hope it does very well.
It's actually a different set of guys. Before they started making the game they announced they were hiring new artists for the videos. I know this because I tried to apply lol but didnt because school got in the way
@@ksamuel9 the art style is very similar
@@RandomAutist that's because they require you to emulate the artstyle for the videos. It was in the rules
@@ksamuel9 ah i see, pretty clever foxes dem armchair historians...
well, there was actaully a recording between mannerheim and hilter, it was an accident as a microphone was left on, but it showed how even by 1943 hilter knew the war was over and the soviets will crush them.
What was the mod called you were playing?

When George was told he was losing America he probably wasn’t listening and was riding his invisible kangaroo
Is it me or is the armchair vid fast in this video
Nah Tommy they're alreayd using bolt action rifles at this time so its not that bad as fps games
Heck, even though it wasn’t bolt-action, the Martini Henry rifle was represented in Battlefield 1. It entered into the British Army as their military service rifle in 1871.
Other fun-facts about the rifle include records of Afghan tribesmen using their Martini Henry’s against the Soviets, and reports from the United States Marines recovering some from Taliban weapons caches around 2010-2011.
The FR, or for Grenadier regiments FWR; stood for Friedrich Wilhelm Rex

Why is the video sped up slightly?
I would like this kind of FPS games cause like it’s more realistic I think. I play battlefield 1 a lot which is the closest imma get lol
I love German history especially between 1840-1922 it’s just so Interesting and action packed

Soviet "human wave tactics" are a myth, at least in the way most people think about them. The germans fighting alongside the eastern front perceived Soviet offensives as "human wave" attacks because one of the aspects of Deep Battle doctrine was to amass mass amounts of ground and air units in one area of the front in order to achieve a strategic breakthrough and disrupt the enemy's operational reserves.
@@kgkomrin I'm trying to highlight the ridiculous types of myths your common wehraboo is prone to thinking as well as dispel the myth of a sophisticated and professional prussian military tradition many Kaiserboos and Wehraboos tend to believe.

I would love to see an FPS based in some time like WWI
The FR refers to Fredericas Rex (King Frederick of Prussia)
About an FPS, ARMA 3 has a mod about the Franco-Prussian War

25:15 why u cut this part ?
Is it just me, or is the video much faster than it should be? I have speed at 1 and it sounds way too fast
Tommy where is stream ?
Iirc the meaning behind FR on the Prussian helmet's was "Fredericus Rex" aka Frederick II
edit : oh nevermind you already found it out x)
Holdfast is a game around this time
Is it me, or was the video Tommy was watching accelerated ?
Video seems faster than usual
