Prussia played a central role in the Seven Years' War, a global conflict that lasted from 1756 to 1763. Under the leadership of King Frederick the Great, Prussia emerged as a formidable military power. Despite being significantly outnumbered by its adversaries, Prussia's disciplined army and innovative tactics allowed it to achieve remarkable victories, such as the Battle of Rossbach and the Battle of Leuthen. Prussia's military successes in the war solidified its status as a major European power and demonstrated the effectiveness of its military reforms.

Watching Frederick's advance through the compilation of him during both Silesian Wars and the Seven Years War has been an amazing experience.
By far the best Prussian/Frederick the Great focused 7 years war series on yt. Keep it up.
Your series about Frederick are as great as Epic History TV's about Napoleon
King of Generals too alongside Knowledgia and History March are covering history too
We live in the Golden Age of history youtube
Thank you all the channels for the material you producing and offering to us
yeah Epic History, History March and House of History have become the golden triumvirate for us, history nerds
Don't forget about Flash Point History!!
@@Fepers24I would also add Invicta to that for covering more antiquity :)
+ Real Time History)
Add Warhawk and Historiagraph
I originally put this on to fall asleep to as I go to bed, here i am 3 hours later still awake and sitting up attentively watching the screen. Absolutely incredible documentary. As an American, I only learned about the north American front of the 7yrs war. Here in the states knows and the French and indian war. Absolutely incredible documentary and couldn't be more satisfied.
Same here. As a kid in school, I always thought the name of the war meant that 18th Century Europeans couldn't count, as the American theater of the war lasted for 9 years rather than 7. It was only when I began studying history a bit deeper on my own that I found out that the bigger, bloodier part of the war in Europe didn't start until 2 years after the North American part did.
This documentary is the best and most detailed available anywhere. PERIOD!!
Thank you all for the hard work.
An absolutely awesome series! Thanks for all your hard work!
A great series! thank you for your hard work HOH!
The Compilation we all knew we needed! Thank you so much man!😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
A case of beer and a large pizza and I'm ready to watch it all, again!
3 hours 24 mins of rich history. Love the hard work and passion in your work. I know nothing so that I may humble myself to learn new things.
This was a great video to pass a Greyhound bus ride
Wonderful video. I appreciate all of the research and hard work you put into the production.
It’s about damn time someone made a high quality detailed video about Frederick the greats battles.
Introducing such complitation with such details of those Fredrick wars showing complete understanding political businesses involved wars of those European states at that period ....allot thanks for sharing...
You did a phenomenal job. There's no such documentary on the conquests of Frederik The Great. Keep you the good work and your channel will grow exponentially ;) I'm sure of that
A well made documentary i just binge watched the entire thing and was never bored.
I think at the end of the videos you should make a tactics synopsis stating the tactical lessons we can learn from the battles.
Wow, great video! Thank you for yor work.🎉
really cool series. thanks buddy!
Omg!!!! I’ve been waiting for this for sooo long, I’ve purposely restrained myself from watching part by part to binge it ALL! 😂
GREAT VIDEO! THANK YOU!
Absolutely great video
Amazing work thank you
Just wanted to suggest that you can put your video on Krefeld in your Hanoverian front playlist. Really hope your next Hanoverian front video comes out soon. Your videos are the best of the time. Keep up the work.
Good vid as always
I just noticed that pretty much every occurrence of "thousand" in your videos, when referring to manpower, is enunciated as "thooouuuusand."
I like it.
Thank you for producing this interesting and exciting material! Do you have an academic background?
Amazing series.
Frederick the Great after the war :
_"I've won against all odds, but at what costs"_
Wow, congrats and great job!
Greet series enjoyed it as I enjoy the napoleon series greet job and thanks for bringing this greatness to us my admiration to you brother
Wow. Du travail si riche ! Plus de trois heures de données précieuses ! Renversant !
Really great work
Thanks!
Best Series!
I must have watched this video at least 5 times thank you for providing epic asmr with prussia
Me, seeing all the Prussian casualties: Damn, this can't go on for much longer.
Me, looking at the time stamp and realising that it's only 1759: Damn, this is going to go on for much longer.
Prussians: holy shit I'm at my limit, I'm at my absolute damndest worst possible moment, I am solely held by the skin of my teeth, my colapse is imminent, if someone sneezes at me it's all over
All the bajilion enemy armies at the perfect position reacting to this information: 😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴
It's all so tiresome.
Thank you --wonderful !
Great channel
Amazing
Here to rewatch it 😅
THANK YOU!!!! 😀👏🙏👍
Preußens Gloria erklingt in meinem Herzen
Good God, now this looks like fun!
Greet video whenever you think it’s all done he come in top even with head on charges vs well prepared high ground fully maned and with canons still push through it and got victory lots of lack of affective cooperation between the Asturia and Russia was highly noted here and the unbelievable turn with Russia from a strong scary enemy to an ally’s that was willing to help Prussia is crazy
I watched all of this in one sitting on my tv drinking tooooo much tea so that was nice 👍
What's the name of the song that's often played in the background? For instance at 2h 40 mins?
Dream Cave - Peacekeepers
@@HoH Thank you!
Now this is what makes a war in one. Thank you
One narrator changed his dialect drastically juat out of nowhere😂😂
Yes I hired a professional voice actor 😜
I can see why the Germans of WW2 looked back on this period as an inspiration to keep fighting, as Luck played a huge factor in overcoming the odds, The Germans were holding out hoping to get lucky
Frankly, they defeated the Russian Empire and took much of its lands from the West, and what saved Europe was the 2 million American army.
Niiice work ...and i watch 7 historical channels viewed many more.l will subscribe
You are very very good.thank you
Still blows mind how back then they could supply that many troops on the move with food water and shelter.
I was thinking the exact same thing, but I believe in that day, you weren’t treated as good with Rations as in today’s army but yet still a lot of moving parts , horses & planning to get your supplies to the front.
Zorndorf is an apt name for this battle!
Ok! I think I found part 1 in this video. I was going mad !
1:16:37 never seen Daun in such a hurry, it must have surprised Theresa aswell
Bro Frederick wins Seven Years War, all though he suffered too much, I think that's incredible to be honest. He could just died on Seven Years War if he is not lucky. God really is on his side
Did he suffer so much or did the individual soldiers? He had a different psyche.
@@homerfj1100Er lebte, kämpfte und litt mit seinen Soldaten!
His father was a psychopath.@@grossadmiral1
He was also abused as a child. I’m not done with the video so I don’t know if it’s mentioned but his story is inspirational… “if this man was still alive I would not be here” - Napoleon at Frederick Der Große grave.
I think Napoleon was psychopathic. Churchill too. It's not just a question of "controlling one's emotions" to deal with causing 100s of thousands of deaths, it's the wiring of the brain that creates the mind.
Great narration & even some good voice acting 🎭 especially @ 2:38. Efff them frogs 🇫🇷
love it!!!
Why did they blur the hand of Frederick at frame 3:22;28, second time I have seen this.
where is the next video i want know when will talk seven years war Hanoverian Front
Great!
James Francis (von) Keith was Scottish … what a surprise ! (1696-1758) Generalfeldmarschall of the Royal Prussian Army. An amazing life
1:55:55 didnt know it was possible for the sun to come up at 3am
You know things get serious when Friderick's picture grows up to the whole screen and when French army insted of symbols get numbers
For all Frederick's tactical brilliance, careful preparation, and strict army training, his overconfidence betrayed him and he bit off far more than he could chew. He was ultimately only a fanboy Tsar away from complete ruin! His story is the ultimate example of the saying "it's better to be lucky than good"...
❤ I love the seven years war
Great Video about daring battle tactics in 7 years war . However some observations from outside point of view :
(1)Frederick of Prussia made 1 diplomatic alliance with future Tsar Peter . This saved his Eastern side from Russia & caused Tsar Peter the fool to face palace coup which caused his life .
(2) Frederick started the 7 years war because he thought Empress Maria Theresa would not be able to hold her throne . He hoped to get valuable territory from Austrian Empire .
(3) However Frederick was outmatched by Austrian diplomacy lead by Maria Theresa herself who made treaties with France & Russia before her marriage . Not only she gave valuable gifts to Ottoman Empire but also trade treaty to prove icing on the cake .
(4) Maria Theresa father & his court was impressed by such diplomatic negotiations by his daughter stating " You might just become a successful Empress. If you give birth to a son with half your skills , he might become a Great Emperor ".
(5) Prussia Army used Flintlock muskets veras Austrians , French & Russian army used matchlock muskets. A technological advance allowed Prussian Army a quicker load & repeating shots within shorter time period. However some of Prussian Generals did not use this advantage instead preferring bayonet charge . The primary reason for huge losses in clashes with other armies .
(6) Prussian cavalry used Flintlock muskets however several officers & cavalry units preferred cavalry charge over simply reloading those muskets . Imagine if cavalry had reloaded their muskets & attacked in waves ! The Austrian & Russians would have suffered higher losses & wounded soldiers.
(7) Prussian Army became used to quick March as soldiers & officers took turns riding horses veras Austrians were rather slow & cautious. Daring & Dashing quality can give a slight advantage however other qualities can very well nullify or minimise it .
" War should never be prolonged over a period , both sides ultimately suffer with inflation, currency destabilization, devasted countryside,wounded, missing & dead soldiers ! " . This is a repeating lesson that History teaches us ---Kedar S Barve .
Does anyone know a good documentary I can go to to catch up on how these different countries ccontinued to evolved after Charlemagne died and better understand their differences? This seems like a very good war documentary but I feel very lost not understanding any of the motives of how it got to this point and why they're fighting each other.
There is a good documentary series from ZDF (German Public Broadcaster) called "Die Deutschen" (the Germans) from 2008 in which they sum up the history from the Ottonen (the Saxon house that got elected Kings of the Germans and eventually holy Roman emperors after the Frankish Karolinger dynasty died out) to today.
There was an English dub published but no idea where to find it
2:48:23 how can Daun stay and bid his time when his empire is on verge of bankruptcy??
2:43:46 my god... that was the biggest stroke of luck in human history
Hell yeah
fuck yeah, thanks for sharing bossman
So good. I love 18th century warfare!
Not to highjack your great work, but on a slightly related topic. The channel K&G has purged most of their videos on Prussia. A channel devoted to "Kings and Generals" has almost no content on Prussia. Really weird, like conspiracy levels weird.
You’re definitely gonna have to hire a narrator. Your narration is very subpar quality, including pronunciation.
This channel absolutely rocks 👌
Hell yea!!
W video
I don't like the AI art, though I appreciate the effort.
Yeah, it became really noticeable - distracting even - later on. I vastly prefer the historical portraits, even if there's a more limited selection to choose from and they're not consistent with one another stylistically. And of course most AI art generators steal from real artists by sampling without regard to copyrights or permissions, which is just scummy.
@@TheZombifiedGuyi like the AI art more, mostly because of how retarded some portraits look. I mean, look at Daun, you'll think that the victor of kolin would look something like napoleon's crossing of the alps, but he just looks like he's one step from shitting himself
DAYUM
Your talking about my 7th or 8th or 9th great grandfather Frederick the great I am kiaser whillhiem the 2 3rd great grandson
If you're looking for topic ideas, I see that someone has done a series on the War of the Spanish Succession, but their narrative and graphics are not as good as yours, or those of Kings & Generals; maybe you could do a better job?
Alternatively, what about a series on the rollback of the Ottoman Empire in Europe, starting with the late 17th-Century? This would be a good way to present the campaigns of Eugene of Savoy, and the stark differences good and bad commanders could have on Austrian military performance.
Lastly, though not in terms of interest, what about a series on the French Army on the Western Front in WWI? Aside from the First Marne and Verdun battles, there's little in English about the premier-sized Allied army of the Western Front, even though they basically WERE the Allies on the WF for the first half of the war. I see nothing in English online about the Race to the Sea, Dixmude and the 'grignotage' attacks of Joffre of late 1914-late 1915.
Ottoman vs Habsburg Russian war 1735-1739 era Ottomans both beat them 100.000 Russian Death and 30.000 Habsburgs..
The role of the SYW in German history is key to understanding events of next 2 centuries. No wonder blood and iron became such a key philosophy. Excellent video puts these battles in context showing the true depths of the struggles of Prussia.
Really enjoyed this documentary and its vista of the Seven years War from Frederick's perspective. It showed that he had his lows as well as his highs, and how close Prussia came to being obliterated on more than one occasion. I am left pondering how much better would the world have been if he had failed, and Europe had not been plagued by the wars before and after German Unification and a couple of World Wars that would not have happened otherwise??

@@andreavoigtlander1087 how so?
This is such an incredible feat of research, writing, filming, editing (both video and audio, The music choices were very hype, the maps were also very immersive) and uploading. Only the craziest sons of bitches can do this, and you have earned my respect.
most of these battles appear to be a unnecessary loss of life just for winning a strategic position

Comments for the comment gods
Much appreciated!
普鲁士非常像中国2300年前秦国！都同边境上发展，同时发展军功激励士兵，同样的军国主义。Prussia is very much like the Qin State of China 2300 years ago! Both developed with the border, while developing military merit to motivate soldiers, the same militarism.
all this guy did was lose, yet he is Fredrick the great? I don't get it.
It was the Peter 111 of Russia who actually saved Fredrick and Prussia
Why does it start in 1758?
1757 is an earlier compilation in the description
@@HoH thank you!!
thank you for your work! From Russia with love.
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh ijust fuckin love thissss#
*_wait ... the seven years war only lasted five years?!?_*
