1 00:00:01,330 --> 00:00:08,289 In this video we are going to talk about the international relations in the 18th century 2 00:00:08,289 --> 00:00:14,449 along with the colonial empires. It's going to be really short. So the first thing we are going to 3 00:00:14,449 --> 00:00:21,649 see is in Europe in the 18th century we are going to have a balance of power, un equilibrio de poder. 4 00:00:22,210 --> 00:00:29,890 What does it mean a balance of power? It means that in Europe there is not going to be 5 00:00:29,890 --> 00:00:37,729 a unique superpower ruling the continent it means there is not going to be a superpower 6 00:00:37,729 --> 00:00:44,770 ruling the continent okay so after this war the 30 years war okay 7 00:00:46,049 --> 00:00:53,810 spain is not going to be anymore the superpower ruling europe and what we are going to find is 8 00:00:53,810 --> 00:00:59,969 a balance between the different countries it means there is not going to be one country 9 00:00:59,969 --> 00:01:06,609 that is going to be strong enough to control all the other european countries only we are going to 10 00:01:06,609 --> 00:01:13,409 find so only we are going to find only countries that they are going to be more or less equal 11 00:01:13,409 --> 00:01:19,650 they are going to be powerful equally so that no one can control the other countries 12 00:01:19,650 --> 00:01:28,049 so this is the idea this is the map of Europe in the 17th century what we see is the Hispanic 13 00:01:28,049 --> 00:01:34,950 monarchy okay that means the Iberian Peninsula Spain in the Iberian Peninsula along with Belgium 14 00:01:34,950 --> 00:01:45,569 Milan Naples Sicily and Sardinia okay so this superpower that is the Hispanic monarchy is going 15 00:01:45,569 --> 00:01:53,129 to rule the continent however in the 18th century Spain is going to lose all 16 00:01:53,129 --> 00:01:59,010 these European territories so Spain is going to be only the Iberian Peninsula 17 00:01:59,010 --> 00:02:09,090 this part of the Iberian Peninsula okay when Spain lost in 1700 18 00:02:09,090 --> 00:02:16,889 okay in 1700 when Spain or the Hispanic monarchy lost these European 19 00:02:16,889 --> 00:02:25,530 territories Spain is going to stop being a superpower in Europe as a result what 20 00:02:25,530 --> 00:02:29,370 we are going to have is just one country here another that is going to be France 21 00:02:29,370 --> 00:02:35,789 the other that is going to be Great Britain Portugal these regions in Italy 22 00:02:35,789 --> 00:02:42,150 or in Germany so what we are going to see is a balance of power it means all 23 00:02:42,150 --> 00:02:48,449 the countries are more or less equally powerful so that there is no superpowers 24 00:02:48,449 --> 00:02:57,090 controlling the continent okay so in Europe this balance of power is going to 25 00:02:57,090 --> 00:03:04,229 remain due to two alliances the alliance of France and Spain and the alliance of 26 00:03:04,229 --> 00:03:10,169 Great Britain and Portugal and these two alliances are going to fight each other 27 00:03:10,169 --> 00:03:18,229 it means France and Spain fought against Portugal and Great Britain so that's the 28 00:03:18,229 --> 00:03:24,930 situation the real situation the reality in the 18th century okay so what we are 29 00:03:24,930 --> 00:03:30,750 going to find is a balance of power no superpowers ruling the continent but 30 00:03:30,750 --> 00:03:37,530 some alliances that they are going to fight each other in order to defeat the 31 00:03:37,530 --> 00:03:46,370 other.
