Fratboyz were not invented Yesterday. I can't speak for other European countries, but Germany has a historically established Fraternity culture of drinking unhealthy ammounts of booze and engaging in petty rivalries with other fraternities which can still involve actual small-sword duels with abstract turn-based rules with the objective of wounding the opponent on the head with your blade (but only if the two of you are hard-core about preserving old tradions and practices). These fraternities are dying out as far as I know though, or at least have trouble finding new recruits. I live in Göttingen (dignified old University-town in Germany) and the first thing you tend to find out about the frats is how ridiculously cheap the rent can be in some of those antique Villas...and that you'd be best advised not to take the offer because the idea is you get to live there cheap in return for Sponsoring the place once you graduate and start making money and if you ever have second thoughts and want to leave, they'll treat you kind of the way a mob, street-gang or cult treats former members.

He moved into a former watchtower of the old city wall, where a small Bismarck themed museum is located today. He was also thrown into the University's student prison a couple of times. You can still see the signature that Bismarck cut into the wooden door of his cell.

You mean Bismarck, ND the capital and second most populated city in North Dakota with a population around ~70000 and is the county seat of Burleigh county North Dakota whose current mayor as of 2020 is Steve Bakken?

“Known for firing pistols into ceilings, and releasing foxes 🦊into his friend’s drawing rooms.” Just.... what?!!

I personally met the great-grandson of Otto von Bismark when I was trying to get a job in DC. He ran an environmental non-profit. I had to read up on this man's bio while getting ready for my interview. This man's experience as a Harvard undergrad is almost exactly like Otto von Bismark's--he stopped going to class, he got into lots of fights, he (probably) drank a lot, he continuously dropped out and came back. He graduated after 9 years. But he led a very interesting life, filled with adventure.

And he was. Kind if absurd for that man to say that Prussia wouldn't had stood up to fight napoleon. I mean this country doesn't have an army, the army has a country.

Otto's prediction wasn't wisdom, experience, or anything like that, it was black magic, given to him by the elder gods he dueled when he read the Necronomicon. 3:18

Here it is: The moment we all have been waiting for! 🍻

I like how you framed his political leanings. It's easy to vilify old-school monarchism from a contemporary Democratic standpoint, but not to dismiss the reasons why he held it so deeply and why people were willing to listen. There had to be SOMETHING that people held onto, after all.

Sure, but that doesn't me he wasn't wrong. Just as American traditionalists moan about gay marriage we can understand their fear of regular marriage somehow being indirectly harmed. At almost every juncture of history, tradition has simultaneously been the most appealing motivation and the least reliable justification.

xenoblad I definitely understand the argument you're making, though I don't think that's the best example. Where establishing a Parliament creates a co-governing body that immediately competes with the existing monarchy, gay marriage does not compete with straight marriage. I tend not to give religious objections to gay marriage much credence because the country can both be a majority Christian (which it is) and have majority support for gay marriage (which it sort of has in some age groups). It's like how allowing interracial marriage didn't compete with marriages of people of the same race or undermine the American family, either.

Yes, a parliament competes with a strong monarch - which is exactly the reason for having one. Also, he wasn't just wrong from a contemporary standpoint. A more democratic form of government than Prussia was not exactly a new idea at his time.

In fact, Prussia partitioned one of the more democratic states together with Russia and Austria just a century later. Democracies seem to be very prone to increasing corruption over time

Cicero I get that that's your opinion but it's shaky. In a historical context, marriage was more about inheritance than birthrate. Despite what people think, extra-marital sex has always existed, and marriage has no real impact on either sex or conception. Moreover, the soldier-focused mindset is more of a modern concept. I'd say, and this is my opinion, that homosexuality has been viewed negatively by some societies (definitely not all societies, just ask the ancient Greeks) is that it could be looked as an abberant behavior, like how the Catholics used to be anti-left handedness.

"TO RULE THE WAVES AND LEAD THE KRIEGSMA...." Wait, wrong Bismarck, my bad :(

Can't wait for part II! Bismarck has long been one of my favorite historical figures to learn about, and it's fun to hear about the politics of the time from a budding statesman's perspective, rather than the royal affairs directly.

I just know this is going to be a good series

Otto Von Bismarck is a genius and a slight badass. The fact that be was so perfectly able to predict why and when the Kaiser would abdicate, is quite insane. (Great vid as always Extra Credits!)

This channel is incredibly deep

It seems Otto lived by the standard my grandmother taught me from a young age when dealing with difficult people. She had a saying that I very much live by to this day, "Give them a shovel....." This can be taken in many ways and forms. But it has helped me keep a level head in an ugly argument my whole life. They will either dig themself deeper into their problems or out of.

I always love your Extra History series. I look forward to the next episodes! Thank you so much for making this amazing, educational, content.

I'm so excited for this story! I've been learning an writing about Bismarck very recently, super excited for this series.

The first minute and a half of this video is my favorite on this channel, Otto von Bismarck warning is truly amazing
