when the first dress popped up (0: 36) i was like -? i thought this was 18th century not 1800s- bc it looked very late 1820s-1830s to me, but my expertise is limited to being a les mis fan and watching waaaaay too many meme mom karolina zebrowska videos. the -gold- dress (1: 05) does look 18th century (middle of the century maybe) with the panniers, very squared off neckline, and inverted triangle-shaped stays, so that seems right?
-so another watcher that knows 18th century women's fashion: - was it a thing and i just dont know about it bc i prefer post-regency fashion? or am i right and they just put up a dress from the 19th century?

The French-Indian War is mostly a US appellation; just about everyone else rolls it into the Seven Years War, since Britain was fighting in several other parts of the world, against a variety of countries, including France and Spain, at the same time. Also, Adam Smith, in the Wealth of Nations, wrote that the colonies lack of political representation was only part of the problem. The other part that was leading to the crisis was that Britain insisted on a trade monopoly with the colonies and prohibited the manufacture of certain products, which was stifling the colonies' economic growth and the profit of their industry.

8: 10 - Just like to point out that the war was already well on-going when the Declaration was ratified in 1776. The war initially started in the Boston area in April 1775 and rapidly escalated from there- the Continentals even launched an invasion of Quebec, which failed before year's end. Although the vid is correct that the British finally started sending over larger numbers of troops- including the infamous (from the American perspective) German mercenaries- after the Declaration, causing the war to dramatically escalate further.

By the way--the American War of Independence (it was not a Revolution) was fought with long serving professionals and NOT the militia--who were mostly useless. This use of a mercenary army instead of a citizen army (like in France) is why America did not have a revolution and ended up with the same rich people that had been in charge before the war in charge after it and most of the -Revolutionary- yearning of the average Americans disappointed.
The stuff in this video? Interesting but not important.

So many wars everywhere! I'd say the Seven Years War (1756-63) was key in realigning power within Europe and globally, and ultimately leading to the American and French Revolutions. Lots of 'causes' for fighting but maybe the ultimate one was so many people, rulers, religious beliefs and cultures being crammed into a tiny part of the planet, bursting at the seams

Ah, yes. The British Invasion of Manila. The only time we were -grateful- for the Spanish being so powerful military-wise. XD
(Although, tbf to the Brits, they did succeed, just that eventually the Spanish won back Manila- eventually)

Can we get a Crash Course on East Asain history or African history? I feel like most Americans don't know anything about the history of these places.
