****Correction**** When I called King Leopold I a "piece of shit" I was mistaken. A comment corrected me that It was actually King Leopold II that was a piece of shit. If you want to know why just look up the Congo Free State.
2:20 the white areas weren't uninhabited at all. Quite the opposite. They had well developed religions and cultures and people, same people residing today. But their history was burnt or suppressed by Church.
Also kinda amusing to see how much Central Asians and specially Mongolians have affected the Europeans much before Genghis Khan. The King Balamir and Atilla practically dismantled Roman Empire
@@AKumar528 all they really did was pressure the romans and force the germans westward, they didn't cause the outright fall of the empire. the romans in the east still held on for another thousand years, and western roman emperor iulius valerius maiorianus 457-461 may very well have saved the empire if not for ricimer
in the video 1223 in georgia mongol gengis khan before ogeidei khan
@@AKumar528huh?
The places in white are not unsettled lands, the whole of Europe is settled far before the start date on the video. There just places we don't know enough about to accurately be listing their rulers or they consist just of small tribes
most civilisations were more organised and developed in the modern sense around the Fertile Crescent/Middle East, and later the Romans and Carthage..., meaning less is known about their societies/tribes
Contrary that's proves that regions were populated but pour documentation and records in the western Europe about the populations,civilizations and cultures had evolved especially in central-eastern and the region between adriatic sea and Don river and beyond.
Not all the places in white were settled per se at the start of the video - but there were people living there. Especially in the Eurasian Steppes (modern Russia) were inhabited mostly by nomadic tribes / hordes some of whom did not settle down until way into the medieval age over a thousand years after the start of the video.
Yes. We know Ireland has had people living there for thousands of years before us and they left records written on caves. We just don't know the language and can't read the writing.
@@andreienciu750 actually they weren't poorly sourced or documented. Just that Church burnt or destroyed all evidences of "pagan" history
The landmass of Ireland is just Ireland, often called the island of Ireland to clarify when refering to the island
The island itself is hibernia or Eire
@@Cmcoluch hibernia is the name the Roman's gave it, but yes Eire is the Gaelic name fir the Ireland
But Erie wasn't called throughout all the eras with the same name for example in roman era Erie wasn't called Erie but Hibernica.
@@andreienciu750 Ireland was only called Hibernia by the Romans. The people of Ireland had different names for the island.
Rome during the republic was governed by a lot of different elected officials but the most important were the two Consuls. They only served one year terms and I believe could only stand for the office once. But certain individuals broke these traditions, usually during time of crisis. It was a weird system but stemed from their fear of Kings. That’s why at first you see a bunch off different names. Then a bit later you see some names either for multiple years or pop-up, go and then pop-up again. The most notable names you will see pop-up multiple times are Gaius Marius, Sulla, Marcus Licinius Crassus, Pompey and of course Julius Caesar.
they could stand for office more than once, but there was a 10 year cooldown ^^
To be exactly its Gaius Julius. Caesar is the Title and there were many more People with the Caesar Title.
@@sagittariusa9012 No, his full name was Gaius Julius Caesar. Octavian adopted the name after Julius's death. Later others would use it as a title.
@@mikeye29405 you are right:D
Slowly in iberia because of the Iberian warriors....Caesar it’s no a person it’s a power title, like king. Caesar it’s like an emperor.
to be fully accurate caesar used to be a proper name, Gaius Julius Caesar, and when he died and posthumously adopted Gaius Octavius as his heir, Octavius(Augustus) would rename himself and include Caesar as a title for emperor.
curiously too, later down the line, both Augustus and Caesar were used as titles with Augustus being the higher of the two
France appear when the blue color starts with Clovis, his people was called the « francs » and they mixted with celtics tribes so French are a mix of franks (german tribes) and Celts (Caesar calls them Gauls)
Latinised frankish Gauls
So they technically I guess they have a claim as the successor state of Rome to this day
@@sadiqahmed4143 charlomain was crowded as the holy Roman emperor by the pope. Since he conquered much of the previous western Roman empire. So the Frank's took over in the power vaccum and has claim this way.
The germans gain their claim since after the frankis kingdom proke up the holy Roman empire arose out of East Francia and the pope started aligning with this institution of German states.
Meanwhile in the east the eastern Roman empire was still there( the byzantines) and when they fall the Russians become the leaders of the orthodox faith, and gaining their claim.
Lastly Turkish powers have claim succesion as result of conquest after they took over in the east.
So many claims to the succesion of Rome.
Not german, germanic
@@hpnk-ek8dr Charlemagne wasn't emperor of holy roman empire but he was emperor of frankish or karling empire. The HRE was founded later by Otton the first.
Franks was a germanic tribe who were involve during the collapse of rome era, and was the basis of what became france, germany, ostereich, belgium, switzerland... The split in three part (east / west frankia and lotharingia) can be seen as the division of what became france and what became germany (lotharingia don't last really long). The main cultural difference at the origin is the fact that west frankia was latin and use to belong to roman empire.
Looking at the map, Rome was truly mighty for such a long time !!
But pour power management ,economical repercussions of intermittent wars with surrounding nations and intern unrest provoked by proles ,sports and circus were the cause its fall and overtake by
forigners . Thou creating power vacuum for papacy's rise in power and influence.
@@andreienciu750 Yeah i know im italian and i can say yes we have fucked ourself up
I mean, it depends on how you view it, but you have the Roman Kingdom since around 750BC, at around 500BC becoming the Roman Republic, which then became the Roman Empire in 27BC until the fall of the western part in 476AD, that alone is already over a thousand years of history, but technicly the eastern part didnt fall and they viewed themselfs still as romans, even tho they had build Constantinople, the "new rome" as their new capital, and that part only fell in 1453AD, so... if viewed like that its over 2000 years... and much of that as a global power
So even after Westromes fall Eastrome stood for a over thousand more yearsa and most of that time as THE or one of the most powerful countries in the world, it even reconquered and held Rome itself for over 2 centuries, even tho the capital stayed Constantinople.
Overall, no matter what, pretty impressive :D
@@FOertel The Eastern Roman Empire wasn't the most powerful at the time and Rome was small for a lot of it's history
@@JJaqn05 If you dont know about the history (which you show with that comment), just dont comment.
Actually France and frenchmen are decedents of gauls,romans, franks ,visigoths, lotarings,burgundians,lombards, herulli ,alemany, breton ,goths,belgeies,
aquitanian ,basq and franconians.
Genetically Celtics ,a fusion of Celtics and Germanic in Alsace (According to a German study made after the annexation of 1870 ,they were 40% Celtics) ,and for Corsica ,Italian in the
Northern Half ,and the Southern Half is Non-Indo-european ,like Sardinia .
Anothing thing ,according to studies about DNA ,in 476 ,only 3% of the Gauls had Roman Blood and 2-3% had Greek Blood ,mainly concentrated around Marseille .
Don´t be so IGORANT, people nowdays name Maurice BECAUSE OF HIM , he was a great and Strong Emperor he fought againts arabs, slavs and lombars at the same time !
Italy was still Italian, just not united. They were city states.
Just like Romania was at the same time.
Andrei Enciu: Interesting! Need to read up on my Romanian history!
That's wrong, a sense of national unuty in Italy didn't exist until very recently
@@nathcascen473 no there is not one Italian culture
@@nathcascen473 you clearly don't know what you are talking about. I'm Italian so how about you stfu
19:40 That's John the Blind. He went out in one of the most badass ways. He was fighting in France alongside the French against the English. The French were losing and in an attempt to save the battle and his son who was already fighting there he asked to be tied to his horse and to his bodyguards and he led his men into the battle, completely blind. He died there lol. The French still lost.
John was King of Bohemia (modern day Czech republic) and was an ally of France.
Queen Elizabeth is the Head of State, Commander in Chief, and the Reigning Monarch. It's by her permission that the Prime Minister is allowed to form a government after each election, the armed forces swear allegiance to her, not the Prime Minister or parliament. She is the only one able to declare war, and is responsible for legitimising laws. She must agree and sign off on every new law before it is enforceable, and she has the power to decline. She issues passports and has the power to pardon criminals which she did in 2001 reducing the sentence for 2 inmates after they saved a workers life, and posthumously to Alan Turing in 2013. She also has the power to dissolve parliament and fire everyone in the House of Commons, this was last done in 1830.
I think you see things way too black or white , the cultures of europe in general were not replaced or wiped out every time , over the centuries a lot of cultures and civilisations mixed with each others , and it's something far too complex to show on a map. When you see a change of color or border on this video , for the common people living in these areas it probably changed almost nothing , cultures , languages , etc evolves over time
Exactly: greek and roman culture survived until 1700.
Hi sorry for my english and thank you for your videos. I'm french and I've learnt that the first King of France was Clovis. So if you look at the map, it is when the blue appear (from the actual germany in 484)
For the language, they where a lot of local languages, latin was used in all Europe and then local laguages were transformed in common latin. Differentsts common latin became french, spanish... More local languages survived a long time but is a long story.
Acrually he was king of the franks the predesesor kingdom of france and germany
@@Nico-lp7zd you are right, I tried to simplifie the explanation.
@@Nico-lp7zd The Frank's are literally France lol...
France is "Land of the Franks"..
It's just that the Franks got so Large and then split into three then west Francia (France) is what we have today....
Clovis is the first King of France
@@nwoudochiobinna3673 no it is more complicated than that, if clovis is the first king of france, he can be the first king of germany too. He's original realm was in the actual belgium and came from the netherland btw...
Adolf was actually considered a very noble sounding name until Hitler rolled around.
In fact, it’s still considered a name with a mixed legacy here in Sweden, since many of our kings had Adolf somewhere in their name, so basically Adolf is still considered to be a royal sounding name so long as there’s a Gustaf somewhere in the name.
In fact Sweden had Gustaf VI Adolf as king between 1950 and 1973, which is decidedly after WW2, and his name doesn’t really remind us of the Nazis (unless someone brings it up) since it has a Gustaf first.
So thinking of the Nazis and their reign of terror whenever you see a king named Adolf is just sort of not historically accurate I guess?
The Swedish royals probably wouldn’t ever name a child ”Adolf” ever again mind you, for obvious reasons, but it doesn’t mean we see the name any different today than we did historically, when it comes to royals born before WW2.
In fact, at 14:45, the empire is divided between the sons of Louis le Pieux : the blue part will create the France and the Grey part will create the Holy Roman Empire. The white part (led by Lothaire) is invaded by his two brothers, Louis le Germanique and Charles le chauve with the traity of Strasbourg.
I found this video strangely hypnotising lol. Maybe I need an early night. Thanks for the content.
Postumus was a Gaulish general self-proclaimed emperor of Gaul
And row continues with Galerius, Aureolus,Geta aso. .
Queen Elizabeth is technically still the ruler of the UK, but she doesn’t have any real power. But on paper, yes she is the “ruler”
In theory she does have tremendous power, but has never used it
George Lund thats true, I’m sure if she exercised some of the power she has they might just strip it from her. However I do recall the Queen dismissing Australia’s parliament after a government shutdown. Although this was probably done in her name rather than her doing it herself. Still, it’s a power she possesses
George Lund She used it during the trial of Paul Burrell. Look it up. Other than that she is the head of the army, navy and Air Force as well as pretty much every government institution in the UK. Her power is ridiculous when you actually look at it, but like you say she’s never properly used it.
Let's cut it short her majesty is a figure head or in nerdlang ceremonial head of UK
But still she's the BOSS.
Love how Scotland just weren't having it, Roman's tried it 3 or 4 times and just decided to leave it😂
@@jameslang7722 but the anglo saxons weren't there at the time do mean roman towns.
@@bradian1372 fair point.
@@jameslang7722 they were part of the German migration which came later in the video
That wasn't by conquest purpose, it was for ravaging and killing picts for protecting the borders
The cause of that was the environment and never giveupin Scots ,Picts and northern bit of Caledonians.
It wasn't France, it was the Franks, although kind of proto-france I guess in a way
Franks is france tho.
@T K the point is that indeed clovis created france, in france history clovis is the first king, even the name louis come from clovis
@T K yes but i was just saying that clovis was the founder of the first french kingdom
@T K dont confuse Germanic and German though. Germanic is very vague, unité german
France is "Land of the Franks"...
Just like Ængland...land of Ængles
Btw, great videos man!
Charlemagne's son was Louis the Pious (Le pieux). His sons split the empire in half, and the earliest written record of both French and German is the coronation of his kids. So France can be said to exist at the very moment Louis Let Pieux dies. Germany is more complicated and really doesn't become the nation we know today until very recently. The people of France are descendants of the Gauls and the Germanic Franks (hence the name France)
To your Italy question: Italy for much of its history outside of the Roman Empire was divided by powerful, independent city states and dukes. The north was invaded by the Normans (related to the William the Conqueror of England and ethnically Danish) and was also ruled by German tribes (Lombards). So the North of Italy did become a bit more "Germanic" while the south retained its more Mediterranean feel. Cities like Milan, Florence and Venice became extremely rich and influencial, but Italy did not unite until much later.
It has to be noted that historians call the king of western frankia from the 900s on the "king of France", while in reality at the time it a was still called the same way as in Charlemagne's time: the king of the Franks. The slightly modified term "France" will come later in France (in the 1200s), but historians still do so from the moment the empire is splitted to mark the moment in which it's confirmed all the ruling cast spoke old french (and not some kind of germanic dialect or mix), thus 3 centuries earlier.
A bit like historians call eastern Rome the Byzantine empire in the middle ages, to mark the moment in which Greek became the main language, while those Greeks just called themselves "Romans".
16:39 ethelred did actually genocide the vikings living in england, for more search 1002 st. brice's day massacre. the unready funnily enough is a mistranslation from the old english unred, which roughly means "poorly-counselled". what's funny abt this is that "ethelred" means "wise-counselled", thus the king of england was called "wise-counselled the poor-counselled".
After centuries of Roman Occupation in Brittania from before 60AD, Anglo-Saxons landed in Eastern England. England didn't become a nation until 800 AD or before that. But Britain didn't become a Union until 1701. Rome became a fledgling Republic in 509BC. When Octavian disappeared and was replaced by Augustus (that was the name he took as the first Emperor of Rome). We had many great Saxon Chieftains in England. I'm from a settlement named after a Saxon Chieftain and Warlord - Curra
By the end they are showing the heads of state. That means Monarchs and presidents not prime ministers.
Right that means the author hasn't done the job well enough to satisfy all the viewers (german,swedish, dutch,danish, norwegians,poles, chekhs, slovaks,eries and baltics).
@@andreienciu750 cause it very confusing tho.
Real man cry when they see Rome fall...
Yeah in 1453 ,460 time
The white is settled, it’s mostly Germanic and Celtic tribes living there, so not civilisations, not much written down about it, mostly accounts from civs further south at that point in time.
For example, if you look at the white areas when the Romans start to get really big, you’ll see a lot of names pop up there. That’s because of all the contact and fighting between them, the “barbarians”, and Romans happening. So they existed there, there just isn’t much written about them, and again, it was mostly tribes and not… cohesive (if that’s the right word here) kingdoms and civilisations there.
Commodus was Marcus Aurelias son. He was the first Emperor to fight in the arena. Was then later killed by a top gladiator who he befriended Narcissist. With Spain the prophet Muhammad died in (632AD) the Rashidun Caliphate had Iberia from (711AD - 1492AD) was the longest war in history.
You didn't see "Ghenghis" on the map because that was sort of a title, his original name was Temujin Borjigin.
Italy was basically colonized by the European powers after being disunified through most of the late antiquity and medieval period. Although this could maybe be contested since it started before the idea of colonialism and didn't follow the later model exactly, but it was similar in function.
The Roman ethnicity is basically done but the Italians do have a direct line all the way back, it's just that no matter what, things change over the course of a couple thousand years.
No, he doesn't see him on the map because Temujin died before the Mongols reached eastern Europe.
14:37 the franks were a group of germans originating in the lowlands and the upper rhine, the salian franks who came to rule modern day france being from modern day belgium. the franks were made up mostly of the german tribes responsible for the ambush at teutoburg in 9 ad, such as the cherusci, and began raiding into the province of gallia during the crisis of the third century. the franks under clovis (old french for louis) were able to subdue the roman syagrius of soissons, and were eventually able to dominate gaul, or what came to be known as frankia, which over time became france (frankia-francia-france)
23:10
Augustus II was of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.
Writing as we know it comes from Mesopotamia (Middle-east), and "the first historian" a Greek by the name Herodotus lived around 480 BC to 420 BC. The ancient history is thus completely biased to the region of the Mediterranean.
The small tribes living in the white areas are thus not represented in History, or are only showcased from the Mediterranean perspective, such as every "Non-greek/non-roman" being labelled a Barbarian ("non-citizen" in Ancient Greek).
For example, the tribes living in what is now the eastern most parts of European Russia are the ones who moved to inhabit the northern part of Finland and parts of northern Norway and Sweden, and also migrated into the area of what is now Hungary. This is why Finnish and Hungarian are so different from the rest of the languages in Europe but are on the same language branch.
As for King George getting his ass handed to him by the Americans, bear in mind that the French, Spanish and Dutch navies and (parts of their) armies ganged up on him, to go with fighting a (partially) guerrilla war halfway across the globe for a territory that wasn’t particularly lucrative in the grander scheme of things. Much of the fighting for the Crown was done by hired German mercenaries, and George Washington et al. wouldn’t have had any military leadership qualities to speak of if not for the likes of Lafayette.
There’s a reason Lafayette, Pulaski and de Gálvez are amongst only eight honourary citizens of the USA.
In case you were wondering what happened to northern europe and the isles in 260.
Marcus Cassianius Latinius Postumus[3] was a Roman commander of Batavian origin who ruled as Emperor in the West. The Roman army in Gaul threw off its allegiance to Gallienus around the year 260,[note 1] and Postumus assumed the title and powers of Emperor in the provinces of Gaul, Germania, Britannia and Hispania, thereby founding what scholars have dubbed the Gallic Empire. He ruled for the better part of ten years[note 2] before he was murdered by his own troops.
Finally, after the fall of the Western Roman Empire, with the migration of the Germanic peoples and others into the Empire's former lands, then came the Germanic Franks, which originated from around modern day holland and were kinda like mercenaries to the Romans before the fall....they were the ones that brought the seed that ultimately became the Kingdom of France ( which was named the Kingdom of the Franks after them), and their first Christian king (very important link to the rest of Western Civilization's culture was Clovis from the Merovingian Dinasty (his dad was a Frankish warlord from after the fall of the Roman Empire named Merrovech)
the dad of clovis was childeric, merrovech was his grand pa
Franks were a very wired tribe union couse' they had took over provinces of lower and upper Germania(nowadays Franche-Commté,Borgonge,Alsace-Lorraine, northeastern Dauphine and
southeastern Picardie),Belgica(nowadays Vlaanders in Belgium,Limburg,southern Gelderland,Zeeland and Utrecht provinces of Netherlands)and subsequently all of France beginning with french Flandré ,rest of Picardie ,Normandyand even Bretagne which than became rapidly Dukedoms with some kingdom like prerogatives.
@@andreienciu750 , you are right! The Franks had an amazing journey and were one of the luckiest tribes from the Völkerwanderung!
No place in the world could remain the same as in ancient times... Even if the Roman Empire didn't fall, they would still be almost entirely different today compared to how they were in ancient times, unless their technology stagnated entirely, no one eveer invented anything or had any original thoughts since the moment of their alternative fall, AND no other culture did anything to interact with them at any point whatsoever. Under those impossible condition then yes, they would probably remain the same.
At around 700AD there weren't any Turkic people in "Turkey" yet. They'd only just begun to arrive in the northeast of the islamic sphere of influence to be hired as mercenaries, they'll be taking over in about 250 years time.
Louis Phillippe was basically trying to be what William of Orange was for Britain in that you have a balance of tradition with constitutional Monarchy but accepting the revolution and such forth. The problem is he became way to stubborn and authoritarian in his old age and when revolution swept across Europe he was tossed out. Worth pointing out that while Napoleon III sympathized with the Confederacy, Louis Phillippes grandson and titular heir served in the union army as a staff officer so it makes for interesting contrast. I have become far more sympathetic to the Orleanist as this dynastic branch was called compared to the Bonaparte's like Napoleon III and it is worth pointing out that Frances first two Republics ended in authoritarian rule by Napoleon and Napoleon III respectively.
The latin spoken by the masses in the Roman empire was called Vulgar Latin (vulgar basically meaning common).
Basically Vulgar Latin was just a bunch of local dialects, usually being different from the Latin spoken in Rome proper due to influences of the previous languages spoken in the conquered areas (for France it was the Gaulic language).
Essentially, over time these local dialects became so different from each other that they were best classified as different languages.
The reason why the Romance languages aren’t still considered a single language like in Arabic where the dialects are in a simular situation, is because there’s no longer any central unifing dialect brought on by either religion (like with standard Arabic for reading the Quran), or a unified state ruling over the majority of the area (like with the German dialects).
Honestly, if history had went down a different path, Latin might still be considered a single language with a lot of dialects. The same goes for the Scandinavian languages, and the some of the south Slavic languages, especially the latter one, since some people (mostly by outsiders) actually consider them a single language to this day.
French is a mix over Roman (Latin), Frank (germanic) and gaulois (gallois).
Not just romans, the language have change all the way of history, a french of 1300 will never be the same of today's french or a french of 1500.
I'm not an expert but you can have more informations on the World Wide Web. :)
(Oh and France have colonized England & Canada & Louisiane, unify Italy, fight and win for the USA Independance, destroy the HRE, subjugate spain, liberate poland, take moscow etc....)
(Talk to memes) : A contry who surrender after all? Can England, Russia or USA do the same?
if you want to know more about Julius Caeser i'd recomend historia civilis he does caser's life year by year. or you check out the unbiases histroy of rome, which covers all of roman history in a super memey funny way
The muslims rule over the iberian peninsula for like 700 years, but not entirely, the christian kindoms like Castilla, León, Aragon (nowadays Spain) and Portugal fought for their land in the "reconquista" during centuries until they completley expelled the muslims in 1492
True but still arabs had upper hand, though they had some good and bad influence on Spanish nation ,culture,sort of way of thinking, runing affairs, way of solving issues especially political,sort of lifestyle and language.
@@andreienciu750 where the arabs now? North Africa is different from middle east 🤔🤣🤣
Julius Caesar was elected as Consul in I think it was 59 BC. He then marched on Rome in 49 BC and became dictator holding the office for five years before being assassinated in 44 BC. This was unusual as Rome usually elected two consuls every year to share power and they could've return to power for ten years, dictators were only appointed in times of crisis.
In Italy we may have a little more ties to ancient romans but not as much as you would think. After the Romans Italy was unified only in in 1891 (I'm leaving out the periods of the HR Empire and napoleon because in those times Italy wasn't both united and independent at the same time). Because we have been splitter for such a long time there are still today cultural differences between some parts of Italy. language for example:there are a lot of regional languages and countless dialects.
It's funny that you say Aethelread the Unready could've committed some kind of genocide. Look up the St. Brice's Day Massacre.
It's St Bartholomew's Night Massacre .
@@andreienciu750 It definitely isn't, why would you correct me without even checking?
The land mass in Ireland is called Hibernia or Eire in Irish language
all really good names 🙏
..So basically to sum up, the french today are mostly of Celtic origin (like the Welsh, Scots and Irish) with a varying degree of Roman/Latin mixture, and many descendants from the old aristocracy have Frankish (Germanic) origin although very mixed...and they all speak the language they developed from the Roman Latin which is French
When you were talking about the king of Bohemia John, it was of ourse not just a "John" he was John of Luxembourg/Johann von Luxemburg, also called John the blind (because of on the end of his life he was almost blind).
Actually you missed the moment when france appeared , the first king was clovis
Disputed. You can't really talk about France until the Treaty of Verdun in 843, which split up the Carolingian Empire into West, Middle and East Francia. West Francia would go on to become France, but even then, the kings continued to be called "King of the Franks" until Philip II Augustus (r. 1180-1223), who was the first to call himself "King of France" from 1190 onwards.
@@samrevlej9331 well in french history Clovis is the first king
@@samrevlej9331
Clovis is indeed the first King of France, France literally is"Land of the Franks"..
The Frankish Kingdom (Old France) split into three..
The land and Dynasties and people of France are traced back to Clovis,
Simply changing the name of the title from King of the Franks to King of France dosent make you it's first King...
That's why Æthelstan is the first King of England,not Cnut... That's also why Mswati II isn't the first King of Eswatini simply beacuse he changed his Countrys name...to the local language.
That's also why Rurik and not Ivan the terrible is considered the first ruler of Russia
But before Clovis nothern France was Siegbert's and then became Clovises after his marriage to Siegberts elder daughter.
@@nwoudochiobinna3673 But ivan the Terrible was one well known descendants of Rurick.
I so want that T shirt. (Oh and great video :p )
About the people and country of France: prior to Julius Caesar's conquest, the land was inhabited the Celts whicj the Romans and others called Gauls and they were very similar Celtic people from Britain and other places (curious fact: the word Gal or Gael or any variation of it has always something to do with Celtic peoples all over Europe and beyond, example: the Gaelic language of Ireland and Scotland, the region of Galicia in Northern Spain, and the Galatians from the Bible...all celts)...
Mohammad wasn't actually shunned for his whole life, he only had to leave the town he was in and then he started gaining a following. And with that following, he lead the Caliphate.
The person who drew this map decided to use the head of state, and not the head of government, when choosing who’s name is written in the modern day.
In some countries like the US and France, the head of state and head of government are the same person by law, but in most of Europe and basically all modern European monarchies (except the vatican probably), they are seperate positions.
Basically, in most European monarchies the head of state is the monarch, while the head of government is the Prime minister.
The monarch has a very real constitutional role, but said constitutions usually limit the amount of political influence the monarch has to an extreme extent.
In Sweden (unlike the UK), we removed even most of the theoretical powers that the monarch has but doesn’t use in the 70’s, so if we wanted to become a republic today, we’d essentially just need to make some slight changes in title changes and in how one gets said title (along with some other minor constitutional changes), and we’d be on par with most other European republics.
Actually, now that I look at it, only monarchies show the head of state, since Angela Merkel in Germany is the head of goverment (not head of government), yet her name is still on the map.
The Romans called Ireland Hibernia (Land Of Winter) it split into provinces Munster, Leinster, Southern O' Neil, Connacht, Northen O' Neil and Ulaid. Before that there were all Celtic Tribes and chieftains from (1934BC - 1198AD) then the British first came over in (1169AD) The earliest settlers were called the Beaker Culture.
Julius Caesar - look up a channel called History civilis he releases ever few months but he talks all about Caesar, Pompey, Crassus, Marc Anthony, Cicero and is required viewing for understanding how the Roman Republic degraded to the Roman Empire. He just released a video on Octavian during the period btw them killing Caesars assassin's to just before the war with Marc Anthony.
He also has a series on the English Civil War.
And there you have, Switzerland changing every year
The white area is mostly land where we dont have historical records on who was king or emperor or whatevr
11:24 The landmass is also just called Ireland
19:34 JOHN THE MASTURBATOR OMG xDDD
He was not a "placeholder", he was actually John I, King of Bohemia, Poland and Count of Luxembourg. His nickname was John the Blind (which is kinda funny :D), John the Diplomat or John the Foreigner. He was a really famous Czech king (Czech although he was Luxembourgian, that's why "the Foreigner" btw), first Czech king of the House of Luxembourg. He was the father of Charles IV, the later King of Bohemia and Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire and one of the most famous European rulers. He died with valour in the Battle of Crécy, fighting alongside the French, while being completely blind (and that's why "the Blind" lol, but it's actually a title of honour).
23:13 "italy seems to be not a thing anymore, except for this area..."
Just that this Augustus was a Saxon. August der Starke.
The 9th century, and the end of Charlemagne's Carolingian Empire is considered a crucial moment in the history of Europe.
Charlemagne, king of the Franks, emperor of the West, had three grandsons. When Louis the Pious (son of Charlemagne) died, in 840, the Western empire was divided between his three sons.
Charles 2 (who inherited western Francie), Lothaire (who inherited median Francie), and Louis 2 (who inherited eastern Francie).
Western Francie will become France, eastern Francie will become the Germanic world (German and central empires, Prussia, Austria-Hungary).
And from this fracture will arise all future conflicts between the French and the German, which will fight for centuries to conquer the Lothaire's median part.
Even more than 1000 years later, French and Germans were still fighting for this land.
There is a region in the north-east of France, close to the border with Germany, called Lorraine in French (Lothringen in German). His name comes directly from King Lothaire. Verdun, known for its battle, is located in Lorraine.
There is a song, very famous in France still today, which dates from 1871, which is called "Vous n'aurez pas l'Alsace et la Lorraine" (You won’t get Alsace and Lorraine). Or famous expression like "Alsace and Lorraine, let’s never talk about it, let’s always think about it."
The French conquered Alsace and Lorraine, then the Germans (or Austrians) annexed them. Then took over by France, then annexed again by german. Then returned to France after WW1, then annexed again by Hitler, then returned to France...
The rivalry between French and German does not date from 1940, nor from 1914... it began 1200 years ago.
Finally, it is quite crazy to see that an event can have such consequences even more than a thousand years later. Maybe if Charlemagne had two grandsons, not three, then there might have been millions less deaths...
Dang !
After that, 1000 years of Western European history can be summarized as a permanent struggle between the three powers : Germany, France and England.
With England always supporting the weakest against the strongest, because its interest is to divide to prevent a single great power conquering the whole continent and then risk becoming a threat to its own existence.
Then when France was the dominant power (Francois 1, Louis 14 or Napoleon), England was allied with Germany, and when Germany was dominant (WW1 and WW2) England was allied with France.
Also for France, it has always been important to maintain good relationship with another Eastern european power, Russia, to do what is called "alliance de revers" (counter alliance), to counter the power of the central empires of Europe.
And this game of automatic alliances triggered WW1: 1914... Archduke Ferdinand of Austria is assassinated in Serbia, Austria declares war against Serbia... Russia (Serbia’s ally) declares war against Austria... Germany (Austria’s ally) declares war against Russia and France (allied to Russia)... England (allied to France) declares war against Germany... and all this will end in bloodshed.
(sorry for my english ;)
French were there before the roman empire took over. They were franks tribes living in all of french territory even when roman empire took control of france. So when the roman empire fell french were already there. And the first king of France is Clovis in 480. From this moment until now, the blue is the French kingdom. 10:48
those in 1241 are not the mongolians, those are the Cuman-Kipchak confederation, 2 huge nomadic tribes that founded a confederation before they were assimilated to the Hungarians and the Mongols
England was united before william the conqueror invaded. Just not for very long before he invaded
The French come from det Germanic tribe called the Frank's. After romes fall this tribe gained more power in the area, since there was a power vacuum. And with charlagmains big frankish empire he got the title of holy roman empire given to him by the Pope. For much of European history the legacy of rome was important so everyone claimed to be the next rome.
So no not just Roman's that changed their name but a tribe growing in power, reestablish the area, working with the pope under charlomain to gain influence.
Not a historian so might get some wrong, but that is the main points.
Fun thing you can notice is that after the frankish empire breaks into three the west slowly become france over time and the east becomes the German states and later germany over time.
All of the blank white space at the start was occupied and settled by people. If you were to look at a cultural map, you'd see most of that space filled with various tribes, most of whom were Celtic and Germanic peoples that lacked written records. We just don't have enough reliable information to determine who ruled where at what time.
Also, you keep referring to the Romans as an Empire when it didn't become so until 27BC. Most of the conquest happened during the days of the republic.
French people are descended mainly from the Celtic Gauls, with some minor Roman, Germanic and Iberian roots as well.
Umm no I'm pretty sure they are descended from the Franks a Germanic Tribe
as the last Ice Age retreated, tribes moved north repopulating Europe. Stonehenge in UK is 3000BC, but video shows that area as white. It's same in all the white areas, but they are Prehistoric (didn't or couldn't document their own history)
France gets its names from the Franks a Germanic tribe that invaded Gaul (modern France) as the Roman Empire declined. Initially ruled by the Merovingian dynasty, they lost power to the Carolingians among whom we get Charlemagne, who conquered most of Western Europe and was crowned Emperor. Around 846 Charlemagnes realm was divided among his grand children and the ruler of West Francia (pro frankia) could be considered the beginnings of France though a lot of people date that at 987 when the Capetian dynasty took power. The Valois and Bourbons are male line descendepnts of Hughes Capet. East Francia would become the infamous Holy Roman Empire.
The name France as a country really settled only after the Revolution of 1789.
Because of Cesar pretty much everyone talked latin in west europe, french, italian, portugese, romanian, etc.
But since the north was more gaelic, and France being in the middle, the current language kinda became a mixed of gaelic, latin and slavic. Notice that the north don't speak as same as the south in France. While the south tend more roman, the north tend more german.
Slavic in France ? You meant Germanic maybe ? :')
Idk ancestry wise but culturally wise Italy definetely stayed the same after the fall of western roman empire. Only difference is that it became a series of microstates/regions belonging to other countries and remained that way for a long time up until XIX century when Italy was united for the first time in like 1400 years
France began with Clovis 10:50
...then the Merovingians died out and were replaced by the Carolingians (like Charles the Great aka Charlemagne), and then they also died out and were replaced by the Capetians, whose last king was Louis XVI, the one beheaded in the Revolutions....
Hapsburgs real rule start with one of the Ottos.
In fact the dynasty started later in 1075 and in 1238 became the main final of the HRGE ("Holly"
Roman-German Empire,holly is a cover up for other very unholy deeds of papacy in order to gain fame,secular riches and power, bit of recognition, fear from all european rulers of those times).
Strange map. I think of the Scandinavian bronze age 4-5 thousand years ago.
I think one of the main reasons that Rome could get so big without falling apart from rebellion from the people they conquered, is because they grew at a relatively slow pace. That way they had more time to stabilize the regions they conquered before moving on.
If they conquered all the territory in like 20 or 30 years, they would've either had a very hard time crushing rebellions/resistance or those rebellions/resistance would've destroyed th empire.
If you look at all the other empires that were there around the same time, they were highly unstable. Rome was remarkably stable for an empire at that time.
true, a great example is Alexander The Great's empire he conquered it really fast, but his empire wasn't stable enough and was only held together by his charisma and brilliance as soon as he died, it collapsed
his father Phillip was more pragmatic and i feel if his father didn't die early then the growth of Macedonia would have been like Rome, steady and gradual, Alexander was too ambitious and hasty, he was an amazing general, tactician and strategist but he failed as a king ( cause he didn't stabilize his nation and implement laws or do reform or anything necessary to stabilize and properly control the area)
Macedonia might have lasted longer and history would have been different.
The actual name was Vittorio Emanuele II, first King of Italy, in 1861. Answering two questions, first yeah roman Consuls were elected by Senate, there were two of them every year, got a turnover. So they were usually re-elected even even for many mandates. That will change after the Empire was set in place by Octavianus. Was an historical feature inheritated from the far ancient Roman Monarchy, Consuls were commander in chief of the roman legions, the army. And was the higher rank during the roman Republic. The second answer is about actual italians as me. Depend on with population you are looking at, there are different characteristics who are connected to ancient romans but, most of all, the inner sense of self. After the roman period many populations set over and move even to Italy, from barbaric, so called, invasion on. The actual italians are the mash up of all these populations. So we actually do not have a real "race" as the northern populations got. But when they set in there they had to facing the imponent and huge culture of the romans so even if genetically we are a mess up, there in the islands (as Sardinia, ie,) you may find more features linked to ancient romans (in sicilian dialect and also in sardinian the verb in a sentence is at the end of the phrases, likewise the latin) the modern Italy got several spirits in it shacked up by centuries, but all of them root their sense of self in regard to ancient romanity and ancient culture mostly. Under the skin of modern italians there are a sense of antiquity, give you an exemple: during the roman age the rich people use to have fancy lunches and dinners, many several dishes during a meal, guess all over, the modern italian cousine is quite similar, becouse even the "barbars" who gain power got the "standard" of the lifestyle of the romans. All the italian fashion suffer the same strange influence. So we aren't culturaly romans (we didn't speak latin) but the modern Italy still maintain, undercover, many ancient cultural feature and hidden characteristics taken from them, and we got the mind still on romanity in a subcounscious collective mood, becouse it the root of our culture. Two undred meters from my very place got the roman doors, it's hard don't think about them all the times. But we know that from us to them we had 1500 years of everything else, from Reinassence to the Republic of Venice. :-)

25:00 No no, Leopold I was ok. It's Leopold II who was a piece of shit
Well it is talking about Heads of State so Queen Elizabeth would count as ruler by the rules of this video.
11:30 The name of the land mass/island itself is Ireland. Ireland is a geographical rather than political name. the island of Ireland contains two countries. Northern Ireland the the Republic of Ireland
25:00 you confused leopold the first with the leopold the second
Romans didn’t disappear magically when the roman empire fell, italic populations were still italic populations even under different rulers, kingdoms, influences, ages technologies etc etc.
There’s no trace of a mass emigration to somewhere else in europe nor of a mass exitinction so
The rulers in the bottom right hand corner that expanded wasn't the Seljuks. They come much later. That was the Rashidun Caliphate followed by the Ummayad Caliphate then the Abbasid Caliphate. The Muhammad wasn't the prophet. The prophet was much before then. The prophet ruled all of the Middle East and founded the Rashidun Caliphate which expanded into the others.
23:38 Modern Italians are romance people, so they culturally descent from Romans (not genetically, at least not all, because Latin people, Roman cultural group only occupaid a small piece of Italy, the north, for example, was Etruscan). Also Italy existed by the time, but there was not unified.
Central Italians would technically be the genetic descendants of the Romans.
officially we are a monarchy so yes, she is the "ruler", we are "subjects" though tecknically as we are a democracy and a constitutional monarchy so no, it's our prime minister.
Didnt switch from Rome to France tho, the Byzantine Empire (Which it never called itself) was Rome after all :P
What have you got against Leopold I of Belgium ?
I think (correct me if I'm wrong Devon) that he's actually referring to Leopold II. He was the ruler of the what became the Belgian Congo, and was responsible for turning the country into a slave state, and innumerable atrocities and deaths. As a mark of how insidious his rule was, especially ironic during the time of the colonial era, there were protests against the treatment of the Congolese people, and calls for Leopold to be tried in some form of international court for his crimes. Of course, that didn't happen, but he was forced to gift the Congo to the Belgian State. Prior to this the Congo had effectively been his personal property and not a colony per se. Although Belgian colonial rule was still as unjust, it was never the less not as atrocious and brutal as before.
@@wolfslair31 Im well aware of Leopold II and what he did to the Congo but Devon clearly says Leopold I
The large white spaces weren’t unsettled, it’s more like there were too many different small tribes to count.
Names in white areas are probably major tribal leaders of areas not considered proper kingdoms, and thus it might be pointless to map the exact areas out.
bad youtube historians use the (french localized) names instead the real names (which were germanic - just like France itself is from the Germanic Franks tribe (a cluster tribe). The name was also not Charlemagne (just wrong for that time) but Karl/Carl der Grosse (the Great) or latinized Carolus/Magnos. He educated his children just like the father with a mix of the old Frankish way and latin/greek. His capital was Aachen/(today Germany), where also his crypta is. His advisers and friends, most of the chronologist were (like Einhart) was also from Germanic tribes. One has to understand that after the fall of West Rome, Germanic tribes spread over most Europe to North Africa and founded many kingdoms. In the region with former romanized celtic populations the start to mix with the natives (also language wise), in other areas it stayed rather Germanic. England (from the Germanic Angeln tribe) or Anglo-Saxons, Wessex, Essex etc. are all from this spread. This spread of that many Germanic tribes over Europe (which also lead to the fall from in- and outside of the Roman Empire), was not mainly due to the Huns (also wrong history - most Huns were Germanic/Slavic Auxilary troups anyway - like later also the Mongols used) but due to the birthrate difference between the Germanic tribes (also a bit later Slavic) got since the contact with the Roman Civilization (while the Roman Empire even with Migration from those areas had over the time more and more lower birthrates).
23:08 It was Poland and later The Polish Lithuanian commonwealth
After the conquest and several centuries of assimilation into the Roman Empire, the people adopted the latin/roman culture and society and the parent of the "French" romance language was born...as to the people, I havent seen any evidence that the Romans did a wholescale holocaust of the Gallic people so I assume much of their genetic heritage still remains today...
read Caesar wars in France, enslaved and killed barely 10-20M ppl
On the question of Italians and Rome; it's a point of historical contention. There's certainly a difference between north and south italians if you look at their DNA, and also a bunch of stereotypes and so on.
North Italians are thought to have at least some ties to the Germanic migration, so South Italians might be more close to Romans. (Incidentally the stereotype is about the southerners being rubbish, lazy, the usual stuff leveled at an underclass).
The Green guys that popped in around 600 were the Arabs

The fact that he ignored the Iberian Peninsula hurt me.... Both Portugal and Spain have so much history. From the Celtics (and others), to Romans, Moors, fights between each other, Napoleon invasion and both were in dictatorships (many times ignored cause people only focus on Hitler and Stalin). Also, I'm pretty sure he didn't even notice Portugal was one of the first countries to have fixed borders 🙃
I totally agree, celtics, phenicians, greeks, cartagineses, Roman, visigothics, Al Andalus, Holy german Roman Empire. (Charles V), the Spanish Empire and the Americas, thevSpanish Revolution from France, the instauration of a Republic, the Civil War, Francos dictatorship and his relations with his allies Hitler and Mussolini. It's not the first time I'm afraid. Every kind of similar videos, Iberian Península is not cover.
Hi the John is John the blind he was blind but he was in that time best knight in Europe
17:15 HRE Poland and Rus just won't conquer Baltic
14:55 caliph muhammed, prophet muhammed pbuh died in 632 ad
