Скачать или смотреть How Close Did the World Come to Intervening in the American Civil War?

During the American Civil War, the United States was more vulnerable than at any other moment in its history. While Americans fought each other, foreign empires watched closely—calculating, preparing, and in some cases, moving into position.

Britain nearly went to war with the Union after the Trent Affair. France invaded Mexico while Washington was distracted. Russian warships appeared in American harbors in a move that shocked the world. Across Europe, military observers judged whether the United States was weak enough to intervene.

This video explores how close the world truly came to intervening in the American Civil War—and why, at the final moment, every major power chose to step back.

Told through real historical decisions, near-miss crises, and human moments that nearly changed history, this is the story of a war that almost became something far larger.
