Description: The Austro-Prussian War - Explained in 11 Minutes Europe has always been home to conflicts and power struggles across the map. For a continent so big and intertwined, and with frequently shifting borders all throughout history, it’s no surprise that war would often become inevitable. In the case of Central Europe, as the second half of the 19th century came around, the clash for dominance and consolidated power over the region would be between the mighty Austrian Empire and the rising state of Prussia… The Kingdom of Prussia, at this time, was part of the German Confederation and was becoming the most powerful and influential of the incorporated states next to the Austrian Empire. Its leaders were the Hohenzollern family and in particular, King Wilhelm I alongside Prime Minister Otto von Bismarck. ♦Consider to Support the Channel of Patreon and gain cool stuff: patreon.com/Knowledgia ♦Please consider to SUBSCRIBE : goo.gl/YJNqek ♦Music by Epidemic Sound ♦Sources : The Kaiser and His Times (Norton Library (Paperback)) by Michael Balfour : amzn.to/3dj14LO The Austro-Prussian War: Austria's War with Prussia and Italy in 1866 by Cambridge University Press : amzn.to/3djbH17 The Road to Königgrätz: Helmuth von Moltke and the Austro-Prussian War 1866 by Helion and Company : amzn.to/3xX08Vh britannica.com/event/Seven-Weeks-War schoolhistory.co.uk/notes/the-austro-prussian-war #History #Documentary #Prussia
