Funny to see all those places around Oudenaarde I often come for work. What a battle that took place there more than 300 years ago.
Imagine if these dudes didnt have to carry their giant whigs around the battlefield
An engaging video on the politics and strategies of the early 18th century Europe. I continue to be amazed at some of the self-defeating decisions made on both sides, with family names taking precedence over battlefield experience. This is how nations and armies learned, I guess.
you guys have far overtaken kings and generals! 🙂
Thank you!!
Amazing video and great sponsorship. The quality of the channel speaks for itself, I need not attest to something so obvious. As for the game, it's an amazing game, good replayability and screw leading the Nord, lead the ships of the empire for supreme naval maxing.
Vive la Marlborough!
Some times it’s hard to watch these videos to hear about incompetence from the French.
The real question is: how did they manage to keep a straight face with those stupid wigs on?
Great video as always!
Wow, this video has to be one of HM's best geopolitical videos, with a huge cast of famous military commanders. The Spanish War of Succession, in a nutshell, showed the military prowess, the critical blunders, and the tenacity of its leaders.
Hey! Would you consider covering the Battle of Qatwan in 1141 and the rise of Western Liao, a Chinese state in Central Asia? Their first Emperor, Yelu Dashi (thought to be the individual behind the legend of Prester John). It signaled the end of the Great Seljuk Empire.
As a Belgian it is impressive to see the history that shaped our little country, there are still 2 language areas here. So thanks @Historymarche
Most complicated war in history.
Marlborough's smoking that Jean-Claude pack
another great video
Excellent show.
Please correct the southern border of East Prussia/the Duchy of Prussia—it looks terrible.
Awesome as always!
But when will you finish the Second Punic War??
Could we please see some of Pring Eugene's battles next?
