    The Aztec collapse was also internal. Its people that it conquered were unloyal and constantly rebelled, and the Aztec economy was based on taking over more land for more resources since it wasn't self-sufficient. Once it took over new land, it created more unloyal subjects that rebelled even more, and this cycle would eventually destroy the Aztecs even if the Spanish never attacked.

      I don't think most folks realize that's how pretty much every economy worked before free market capitalism. Trade wars were likewise a giant trigger for war because the war for resources was being fought out in trade, too. As much as folks want to destroy capitalism, they have yet to propose any kind of system that profits, which will mean a return to warring for resources.

      Denmark didn't rule Sweden, they were in a voluntary union with Denmark, but they could leave, and did leave. The same was true of Norway, they could have left the union with Denmark if they wanted to, but they didn't. Unfortunately Denmark-Norway sided with Napoleon during the Napoleonic wars, and Norway was ceded to Sweden afterwards (something Norway did not recognize, so Sweden invaded).
      Although, if you mean that Denmark ruled part of Sweden, then there is evidence of that, but not the whole of Sweden, and certainly not the whole of Modern Sweden.
      As for Estonia, apparently they did, learned something new. Although, it was only for a very short period of time. Denmark also controlled parts of Pomerania, and the northern most parts of Modern Germany.
      England was nearly controlled by Norse, and Danes several times, although, the North Sea Empire was the only time they actually succeeded. Still, they did rule England.
      As somebody else pointed out, the reason Denmark had/has Iceland, Greenland and the Faroe Isles was because they got to keep them when Norway was seceded to Sweden after Napoleon's defeat.

      Norway got it's first proper road in the 1630s. It was discovered silver in Kongsberg, and the Danish king needed to transport the silver from the mine, to Copenhagen. So they could build more castles in Denmark. (Norway has no castles from that periode).That 's how the 'union' worked. And most of the people with power in Norway was danes put there by the king in Copenhagen. In Norway the periode is called the 400 years long night.

With the Dutch controlling the Hudson River area, the Swedes simply went south, to the next major inlet (the Delaware River), sailed up it and founded their colony. Something like 30 years later this colony ended up surrendering to the British, who went on to found New Jersey. Later came Billy Penn and Pennsylvania in 1681. The Swedes didn't leave. Today, Swedesboro is in the vicinity, south Jersey across from Philadelphia. Swedish arrivals didn't stop. It remained a favorite area for inbound Swedes.

Again, I am no expert, but the chain mail you see in the illustration looks to me as being a much later combat uniform (and probably English, too.)

    Great video. One correction on the Zulu Kingdom's fall. While Isandlwana was the Zulu's most famous victory over the Brits - indeed it is the worst single defeat in Modern British history - they were actually very successful against the English for about a year to 18 months and scored a number of victories against the British due to poor leadership and a failure to understand Zulu tactics.
    Some historians even argue that the Brits were only really able to win by attrition - a strategy they'd employ again during the Anglo-Boer, Anglo-Pedi, and South African (Anglo-Boer II) wars.

    I would replace Aztecs with Mayans, no one knows what happened with Mayans.
    There are also some misconceptions. Aztecs were not destroyed "by gunpower" or neither a civilization, but an Empire. Spanish did multiple missions around Mexico, and later they joined with 400 men to other small mexican civilizations who revolted against Aztecs.

    - Papal States
    - Kingdom of Lombardy-Venetian
    - Duchy of Parma
    - Duchy of Modena
    - Granduchy of Tuscany
    - Kingdom of the Two Sicilies
    The Kingdom of Sardinia Turned into the Kingdom of Italy (1861-1946).

    After Swyen Forkebeard died, the English decided they wanted they’re ole king back so they made Aethelred king again. Canute was busy claiming the throne of Denmark, so when he was finally ready to attack England, he rose a mighty army. Then Aethelred promptly died so Canute peacefully invaded and took England back.

    An interesting observation regarding the map at 10:50.
    There is a city on crimea named cherson which is not todays Kherson (that one is more to the north-west) but Sevastopol.
    I wondered if there is a connection and did quick a research.
    Mondern day Kherson is actual named in reference to the old Cherson during a settlement project by Empress Catherine II.

    You definitely need to learn more about Precolumbian Mesoamerica. There is so much incredible history there that is as complex and fascinating as any in Europe. The Aztecs arose from these empires, some as complex and as monumental as Ancient Egypt at the same times as those entities existed. I really enjoyed this video.

    Also, I think that a branch of Trapezuntian Empire was a state referred as Torul principality (in the region of Pontus south of Trebizond) . It was conquered by the Ottomans in 1479- four years after the principality of Theodoro- but unfortunately very little things are known about this state.

    The Sikh Empire was not a nation. It was an Empire. It had Punjabis, Kashmiris and among others. The nation state concept didn't exist in India until the British. Different regions would be constantly conquering each other. For example, the Kannadigas frequently ruled over the Telugus, Tamils, Malyalis and Marathis. One time, the Tamils ruled over the Kannadigas, Telugus, Malyalis, Odias and Bengalis.

    The Aztec Empire was actually more in line with a Spartan hegemony than that of an actual empire. The conquered tribes were largely hostages to the Aztec and not actually aztec themselves.

      Aztecs were not even ethnic meso-americans, they were southwest Pima/Comanche/hopi ethnic genetic stock Indians who fled south after the collapse of an older empire due to climate change/water shortages. So they were seen as foriegn conquerors by the native tribes mostly Nahuatl speaking.

      Volga Tatars are literally Volga Bulgars
      Population genetic analysis indicated that Conquerors had closest connection to the Onogur-Bulgar ancestors of Volga Tatars.
      www.nature.com/articles/s41598-019-53105-5
      Thus supporting the view that Tatars may be descendents of ancient Bulgars.
      pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22520580/
      Most Tatars trace their descent to Volga Bulgars, a medieval Turkic people who have inhabited the Middle Volga and lower Kama region.
      online.ucpress.edu/search-results?page=1&q=Bulgars
      The forefathers of Kazan Tatars were Bulgars - a Turkic group that settled in the Middle Ages to Volga region.
