The House of Habsburg
Mountain | reviews | videos | photos
Habsburg Castle was built sometime in the 10th Century, and remained a rather unimportant entity for the next 200 years. This changed in the 12th Century when the Habsburgs began to rapidly gain lands in the Alps, making them one of the most powerful families there by 1218. During the rest of the 13th Century, they spread farther still, culminating in the inheritance of Austria and Styria in 1278. This collection of territories would expand farther still during the 14 Century, making the Habsburg one of the most influential families in the whole Holy Roman Empire. After a brief period of division, their influence would expand beyond the Imperial frontier into the Netherlands in 1477, Iberia in 1516, and Hungary-Bohemia in 1526. By now, the Habsburgs were an unparalleled European power, although the realm was split in 1556 into a Spanish and Austrian circle, after which a period of decline ensued. A revival for the Austrian branch began in 1683 when the Ottomans began to fall back away from Hungary during the Great Turkish War, but Spain continued to decline and fell out of Habsburg control entirely in the early 18th Century, with many former possessions passing to the Austrian branch. The borders would continue to shift in the 18th Century, as Austria lost Silesia in 1742 at the hands of Prussia, but gained Galicia and Little Poland during the Polish Partitions. After more brief losses during the Napoleonic Wars, the Habsburgs emerged in a strong position in 1815 with various branches penetrating deep into Italy. The 19th Century was mostly peaceful, with the exception of the loss of their Italian territories and the gain of Bosnia-Herzegovina. During the First World War, their dominions began to unravel, and the state collapsed in 1919, ending all Habsburg territorial sovereignty. --------------------------------------------------- This video is the Fan Suggestion for December 2015, suggested by justin Bridges Previous winners: November 2015: Rise and Fall of the Russian Empire, suggested by GalacticPenguinTV October 2015: The Great Turkish War, suggested by Kaiser Franz Josef I --------------------------------------------------- Music: Antti Martikainen - Treacherous Waters

-
Wonder where they are now.
-
Brazil also was 50% Habsbourg, the empress Leopoldine, wife of Dom Pedro I and her great son, the emperor Dom Pedro II.
-
Emperor of Mexico?
-
If Dalmatia became part of the habsburg rule in 1797, why were Maria Theresia or Maximilian I ( both dead long before 1797) allready adressed as "king" or "queen of dalmatia"? Or did I finally find a mistake on Wikipedia?
-
And the situation of Portugal in 1580-1640 was paralel to that of the Crown of Castile (Castile and Leon, who had also the Foral Basques in Biscay and Guizpucoa), Navarre, and the Confederate Crown of Aragon (each with national auton.) in the same period, with an slight degree in some cases by its later circuntances in 1580, but the same. Spain was a geographic name of the Iberian Peninsula (all) for all in the Peninsula and elsewhere in Europe until 1640-1700s, or 1800, depended of its use by country in Iberia or Europe.

Dear, good job, but you forget the Crowns of Castile, Aragon, Navarre. Real different European states until 1715 (each with own laws, nationality-naturality - even with carta de naturaleza, if necessary as any other country in Europe, own respected language(s) by law, even coin, all within its own borders - each) . - And great European States-Crowns and supra-Kingdoms as others in Europe (If put in the map Counties and Duchies and Principalities in the north and central Europe?)
-
Didn't the main Hapsburg line die out in 1780 after the death of Maria Theresa? I heard that the Lorraine branch took control after that. Is this correct?

1864 : ¡ Hola !

I happened to watch this video because of its name for some reason its location within the bounds of The Germans. But the point I am bringing up is that this video doesn't match within another video you posted: History of the Germans

Watch them according to the year as you have it setup.
So were Those of the Roman House of Habsburg German? -
Please make a video for the house of Clinton.

There is one error on the map from 1804 until 1867 the Habsburgs formed the Austrian Empire - was a unified state (all principalities, kingdoms were united into one nation)
-
I love the soundtrack.
