НУЛЕВАЯ МИРОВАЯ: Как Семилетняя война РАЗРУШИЛА старый мир.

   • Поворотные моменты истории: Битвы и событи...   In 1754, in the wild forests of America, a single bullet fired by the troop of young George Washington set off a chain reaction that ignited the first true world war in human history. It wasn't just a war of kings—it was a struggle for global domination, raging across the fields of Europe, the jungles of India, and the snowy plains of Canada. Historians will call it the Seven Years' War, but for contemporaries, it was a true "World War Zero." *IN THIS STORY, YOU WILL LEARN:* *FROM WASHINGTON TO VERSAILLES: A FATAL MISTAKE AND A WORLD TURNED UP.* How an awkward incident involving a future US president and the brilliant intrigue of Austrian Chancellor Kaunitz completely reshaped the alliances of Europe, uniting sworn enemies against one man – the Prussian King Frederick II. *A YEAR OF MIRACLES AND DISASTERS: THE RISES AND FALLS OF FREDERICK THE GREAT.* We will witness the dizzying story of the Prussian king: from the brink of suicide after crushing defeats to legendary victories at Rossbach and Leuthen, and from utter defeat at Kunersdorf to a miraculous rescue that changed the course of the war. *BATTLE OF CONTINENTS: HOW AMERICA AND INDIA WERE CONQUERED.* While Europe bled, the fate of empires was being decided on the other side of the world. Discover how the fall of Quebec decided the future of North America, and how the Battle of Plassey, won by Robert Clive's handful of soldiers, gave Britain the untold treasures of India. *NEW ORDER: WHY VICTORY SPREAD TWO GREAT REVOLUTIONS.* We will examine the legacy of war: the birth of the British Empire, on which the sun never sets, and how that same victory sowed the seeds of the American Revolution, while France's humiliating defeat and colossal debt paved the way for the guillotine and the French Revolution. Join us to discover the history of a global conflict that shaped the modern world, destroyed some empires, and raised others to the pinnacle of power. Bedtime Lectures, Bedtime Stories, Sleep Stories
