2:16 One of the most significant innovations that fueled human connectivity in this era was the invention of the electric telegraph. The impact of the telegraph on global society simply cannot be overstated. For example, the time required exchange of messages between the Britain and India was reduced from six months to a matter of minutes. This made possible central administration of a far-flung territory, both in a governmental, and in a corporate sense. A country like the United States simply could not have functioned as it did, without the telegraph.

@@Deridus This is arguably because the medieval and classical periods featured many distinct great powers that all operated in distinct manners and where change was defined by local means. The Victorian Era can be much more easily defined and grouped because the entire planet was at last truly globalised and interconnected in meaningful ways, via steamships, rail and telegraph thanks to the industrial revolution that originated in the UK (hence Victoria), and where change was mostly influenced, if not by Britain, by Europe. While Victoria was not solely responsible for the change that followed the industrial revolution, it is much easier for historians to use her reign to mark such a colossal paradigm shift in human history

Like most of videos made by K&G team, this is also exquisite one! Cooperation with Paradox is actually a thing that I was expecting sooner. I mean every time I see your videos like Great Northern War, English Civil War, Protestant wars ext - the urge to sit and play EU4 is impossible to overcome. And vice versa - after playing EU4, I have to see what really happened. So please continue with fantastic videos!

Thank you, and thanks to Paradox for the sponsorship of this content and for their game of course!

Less than half an hour, perfect video to hype me up ^^

I really like this format of videos, comparing them with short resume, it was interesting. And praise to Victoria III, glad it’s finally there as well !

What a great documentary!

Railways were critical in WWI. The idea that Russia would have caught up in railway production by 1919 was one of the main reasons Germany attacked Russia when it did. Meanwhile the Austro-Hungarian Empire had enormous troop movement problems caused by the fact that their railway system had several different gages (widths) and the empire couldn't be traversed easily. Their troops moved at the speed of a bicycle.

They were not as inbred as the Spanish Habsburgs but Catholic monarchs in general were a lot more inbred than Protestant ones due to lack of options. By this time in history you essentially have Bourbon, Habsburg, Wittelsbach, Albertine Wettin, Savoy, Braganza, Belgian & Viennese Coburgs. Emperor Franz Joseph married his first cousin, his predecessor Ferdinand I only had 4 great-grandparents meaning he was the result of a marriage between double first cousins which led to him not capable of ruling. So they were still very inbred compared to say Queen Victoria who also married her first cousin true, but her ancestry is quite varied because there were just too many Protestant German princesses that one did not need to inbreed all the time

The rise of Prussia relegated Austria to a lesser power status, but it's not like the French (!) did better against them.
