Finally some more hard wrought presentations on less popular histories in our current Anglo-Linguistic tradition. Coming out of the camp of archaeology I have to admit without projects such as these on CZcams, I feel as if it's only myself, my comrades and those who grow up with their heritage in these less popular parts of world history. Thank you for the contribution!!
The language family some of you are referring to, the one that includes all* European languages is Indo-European. *: except for the Finno-Ugric languages: Magyar, Suomi, Estonian, etc. And Basque, an isolate, only distantly related to Berber. Oh, and Georgian, which belongs to the Caucasian family of languages.

Why is history so dull in school but so fun online?
It depends on the teacher. ;-)
@@damuses1452 moron...lol
gman aight he's actually accurate I can attest to that going through school and university myself. Way too many leftist teachers/professors who dismiss the great cultures of western civilization.. You must either be blind and deaf or one of those people (:
That is surely right I wasn't any good in history in school but now when I'm learning more about my own family's history it's becoming more interesting. Which is when I'm finding so many records online and also by taking my own DNA test I've found that I do have a small portions of Eastern European DNA through my French royal family connection with the House of Capet. Since I had found out that my 9th great grandmother Catherine de Baillon was born and raised in a minor French nobility family that has connections with major nobility families through out the rest of Europe and not just in France where 100% of the majority of my European DNA actually comes from. My peasantry European DNA I know for sure is 100% French I know that for sure. So those percentages of the rest of my European DNA must be my royal blood from most notable European nobility through the rest of Europe. Since the only other possible European DNA that I have from the peasantry European DNA that should come from outside of France would most likely be my legendary Viking Scandinavian blood. Since I don't have very many ancestors that were born outside of France other than the French Colony of New France in the New World within the paper trail of my family tree. Also there is only 1% of my DNA that showed that was Native American ancestry. I'm guessing I'm starting to get more interested in the things I have learned from about the history of European history is because I'm actually learning so much about my own European family's history from my own family's roots from my DNA.

Thank you!

BasszusX - If I’ll have to “chill out”, then you may need to “freeze” - I’m so sorry for you (as I am for many Romanians, especially those who peck out of Soros’s hand) who literally “kick out” historians like Jordanes, Strabo, Carlo Troya, Nicolo Zeno, etc, because their works contradict Hungary's efforts to grab back some Romanian land - who cares today about those grave distortions to history ...

speaking of central europe you just cant talk about Hungary without Poland and vice versa ... totally different languages, different people, different ethicities, yet amaizing relation
few days ago we had anniversary of Pal Teleki refusing to help nazis in any shape or form in invasion on Poland, he said it is a matter of honour for Hungarians
We shared monarchs many times as well. We also had a famous general names Joszef Bem, who was Polish, and lead Hungarians soldiers in a fight against the Habsburg monarchy.
And then, Hungary joined the Axis and he shot himself. Fuck off with "muh nadzees", really. The relationship between these two countries is far more ancient and far deeper than that. Even when we were enemies, we managed to maintain an air of mutual respect.
HUNGARY TOOK PART IN NAZI BARBARISM AND INVASION.
Buster Biloxi True. But Hungary refused to attack Poland, they also denied the Nazi’s the means to attack Poland from the south, and did not allow the Nazi’s to use the railroads as a means to supply German troops in Poland. Once Poland was annexed, Hungary let in a ton of Poles fleeing Nazi occupation and persecution. The Hungarian politicians refused to backstab Poland.

yellow (English) - sárga (Hungarian) - сары (Kazakh) - шар (Mongol) - keltainen (last is Finnish).
@@gigikontra7023 It's as if Hungarian developed and borrowed that among Turkic people during their migration from Magna Hungaria to Carpathia while Finnish developed "keltainen" with other Baltic Finnic languages separately. Your point?
@@jokemon9547 why are Hungarians in Europe if they are non-European?
@@jokemon9547 but it seems like the whole language was borrowed?? Look how close Hungarian and Kazakh languages are: (1) contract/agreement - szerződés - Шарт ;. (2) tent - sátor - шатыр ; (3) apple - alma - алма; (4) mother - anya - ана; (5) father - apa - әке; (6) lake - tó - көл; (7) blue - kék - көк; (8) fruit - gyümölcs - жеміс; (9) border - határ - шекара; (10) maiden - szűz - қыз; (11) calf - borjú - бұзау; (12) baby - szivi - сәби; (13) hen - tyúk - тауық; (14) to drink - iszik - ішу; (15) dead - holt - өлі; (16) wind - szél - жел; (17) cradle - bölcső - бесік
@@gigikontra7023 What does "non-European" even mean? Genetically, Hungarians of today cluster together with their neighboring groups. Linguistically, it isn't like most other European languages (Indo-European), but with that logic are Indo-European languages "European", since they developed in the fringes of eastern Europe at the best and expanded from there both west and east. And as for those words, that's not the entire language and those are proven borrowings into Hungarian from Turkic, mostly Old Turkic and possibly Oghur Turkic. Studies on Hungarian vocabulary have shown only 9% of Hungarian words are Turkic while things like German is 11%, Slavic is 20% and Uralic is 21% (Uralic includes the most simple and primal everyday words). Turkic is only larger than Latin/Greek and Romance when it comes to borrowed words.
As I Serb from Bosnia I am admiring this amazing history and culture! It’s amazing that. Croatians are not Hungarians today , since they were always in Hungary 😉 only this past hundred years they are not, Best regards to this wonderful nations!
We Hungarians and the Croats shared the same king. Other than that, Croatians ruled themselves .it was more like a personalunion than an annexation
Many hungarian national hero was also croatian as well, for example the both Miklós Zrínyi or Nikola Zrinska in croatian if I'm correct, as a person who lives in Zala-county he is really important for me. The two kingdoms were independent from each other, only the king was common (personal union), similar to the Polish-Latvian kingdom.

The Hungarians were christian even before they returned to the Carpathian basin. They joined the Roman Catholic Church around 1000 when István I. was crowned. Hungary is recognised as a christian country by our western neighbours since then.

Central Eurasia played a fundamental role in premodern world history in several ways. It was a major avenue for transmission of peoples and goods between China in the east, and the Near East and European the West ideas also flowed along Central Eurasian trade routes: Buddhism was transmitted from India to China, while Islam spread eastward along the Great Silk Road. Technologies, such as paper, gun powder, and printing, were transmitted from China to the West via Central Eurasian intermediaries. Thus, Central Eurasia played a paradoxical role, both as an avenue of peaceful interaction and exchange, and as a breeding ground for armies of nomadic horse archers which posed a constant threat to the kingdoms and peoples of China, India, the Near East, and Europe.
If you want trade from East to West in the Middle Ages, you can always count on raiders and tribals from Central Eurasia.
Excellent overview. Thank you!

Bloody good video as always. A totally unfamiliar area of history for me. Always love learning something new. It’s nice to get away from the Western European side of history and jump to something totally different to anything I’ve studied before.
ure also very welcome to visit our country :) its worth it
Now when you watched this video, watch video about Great Moravia. You will lern, that the land before Hungarien tribes came was Great Moravia, important Slavic state this time, with the Slavic first European language used in churches except Latin. ,This land was not empty. Hungarien tribes occupied and defeted local habitan, who were farmers and settled in this areal long time before.
Hungarian like to change historie
@@dan-iy5rs Before the Hungarian conquest, this area belonged to the Avars! ;)
@@secovidi Where did you find this info ? example : lake Balaton was before lake Blatno - very Slavic name.
Around Hungary are Serbia, Slovenia, Slovakia - Slavic countries. Avars came to this area after Slavics.
@@dan-iy5rs Partly true: It really comes from the word "blato", "boloto" (swamp, mud), which in turn can be traced back to the Greek "βαλτό". It may have come from the Slovenes who lived among the Avars, and remained among the Hungarians who melted the Slovenes there.
There are really Slavs around Hungary. And there are Austrians, Ukrainians, Romanians.
Before the Avars, the owner of the area was constantly changing: Illyrian tribes, Pannonians, Azals, Celts, Dacians. Then the Romans, then the Sarmatians and Huns.
The Avars expelled the Longobards from the Carpathian Basin in 568.
And yes, Slavs, in VI. century, under Avar rule, they were already in the upper Drava Valley ...

A little correction: as far as we know, everyone from the Magyar clans/tribes were able to write and read their own letters, writing system called "Rovás írás", which for the time was unique.
A THOUSAND YEARS!

'The time of Adventures', stories of giant sword-wielding birds, buried warriors adorned with riches - damn but early Hungarian history reads like an epic fantasy novel. I should really do more reading into central-east European history.

never heard of Hungary in ancient history
Great Vid. Altho you could have mentoined the battle of Pozsony which is probably the most important event in that earliest part of hungarian history. When the Eastern Franks tried to invade the newly settled hungarians with a ridiculously huge army in 907 and they met an utter defeat, thanks to the fact that hungarians at the time preffered partisan like warfare and they mastered the art of horse archery and the use of reflex bows. With these highly mobile tactics they were able to cut of the Frankish army from its supplies, so most of the army technicly were almost starved to death and thus forced to retreat, meanwhile hungarians constantly welcomed them with a rain of arrows, so they couldn't even actually managed to engage our troops in close combat before they perished.
It was the first battle in our history which was fought for self defence, and probably the most important one, since without that victory the Kingdom of Hungary would never came to be existence in the first place.
@@HunPride I know for a fact that the Battle of Posonium 907 A.D. is still taught in Westpoint Academy. It is such a unique battle in military history it is still a subject for American military officers.
Pozsony is Bratislava
@@THX-bz8bi the name of the city wasn't bratislava until Czechoslovakia stole it from us, until then it's name was Pozsony (and Pressburg in german), so it would be bullshit to call it "the battle of bratislava" because bratislava wasn't a thing at that time

"Magyars" in Hungarian (Magyarul) sounds much more like "Mud-yars" than Mag-yars. I was taught this by a Hungarian professor who was a veteran of the First World War. Rev. Laszlo Hunyardi.
Also "s" is pronounced "sh" in Hungarian so Almos is said "Al-mosh".

@@Player-st4hn Well, correctly Stephen 1st was The King in Regnum Pannonia, he was not king of Regnum Hungaria. Officially the country took name Kingdom of Hungary (Regnum Hungaria) only about 1060, during rule the king Andrew 1st. During 11-12th century the country was much smaller than in the video. Carpatians mountains were reached only in 12th century. Even Vazul (brother of Stephen 1st), Belo 1st, Geza 1st, Ladislaus 1st (Szent László), Almos had enought strength to issued their own coins in Princedom of Nitra, which were more valuable than issued by regular King.. Even successors of Kings always come from Duke of Nitra (Andrew 1st, Belo1st, Geza 1st, Ladislaus 1st, Almos, Belo2nd).

@@LynxSouth well, almost all alphabets in the world (Greek, Latin, Arabic, Hebrew, Germanic Runic Turkic Runic and also Hungarian Runic) come from the Fenician writing. So, in the same way as the other nations, the Hungarian Runic alphabet come from the Fenician writing. As well as the old Turkic script too.

Hungarian words for the points of the compass are directly derived from the position of the sun during the day in the Northern hemisphere:
North = észak (from "éj(szaka)", 'night'), as the Sun never shines from the North
South = dél ('noon'), as the Sun shines from the South at noon
East = kelet ('rise'), as the Sun rises in the East
West = nyugat ('set'), as the Sun sets in the West
The word fiú (boy) is also often noted as an extreme example of the ability of the language to add suffixes to a word, by forming fiaiéi, adding vowel-form suffixes only, where the result is quite a frequently used word:
fiú = (boy)
fia = (his/her son)
fiai = (his/her sons)
fiáé = (his/her son's (singular object))
fiáéi = (his/her son's (plural object))
fiaié = (his/her sons' (singular object))
fiaiéi = (his/her sons' (plural object))
The are some example about the word-bushes the word-brushes has similar base meaning, like the branches of a tree:
ló = (horse)
lovas = (rider)
lovaglás = (riding)
lovagol = (to ride)
lovag = (knight)
lovasíjász = (horse archer)
istálló = (barn)
My dad told me (I am Hungarian and so are my parents) that Hungarian is pretty much the only language where you can form sentences using only "t" and "e". Now writing it is easy, speaking it without tripping is a whole nother level.
Excellent compilation, although some of those are purely coincidental, appearing only in form.
"félelem" (fear) has no root in "fél"(half) but an identical word "fél" (to fear), sadly despite appearances these two have a different root.
"szeretet" (love) has nothing in common with "etet" (feed), it's just a result of a noun created from a verb "szeret" + "et" (to love)
"satan" comes from latin, while "Isten" (God) is a proto-hungarian pagan word for the main god of the pantheon. The original proto-hunarian word for satan is "Ördög"
the same goes for "ember" and "embrió", but there is an actual nice parallel there: the hungarian word for embryo is "magzat", the root being "mag" (seed)
"élet" (life) and "étel" (food) are just two similar words no logic there. Some more happy accidents are "kéz - kés
", "kar - kard
", "vár - vár
", "ég - ág", "víz - visz
"
"lő" (to shoot) comes from "lök" (to push/to throw)
"itt a tó" (the lake is here) and "itató" (animal drinkers) are the base for some puns, but there's no meaning behind it
"fázik" (to be cold) and "toporog" (to stand indecisively) are Onomatopoeia, "fázik" from the shivering sound of "va-va-va" (later v's morphed to f) and "toporog" from the sound of hoofs "top-top"
and to finish
"anyag" (material) and "agyag" (clay) also has no common root "anyag" (material) comes from a similar misunderstanding as you've made above. as hungarians associated the latin "mater" (mother) (anya) with "materia" (material) (anyag) while those two have no connection in latin
There might be some more, but these were the most glaring ones.
The rest is actually a pretty nice compilation of the hungarian word-building scheme, which is why learning it can be so difficult. Making nouns from verbs then later making them into adjectives by adding different bits to the end, with a gazillion different little rules about sound harmony and when to use which one is a daunting task. But the end result when looking back is pretty logical.
Thank you, it's realy interesting! I am taking photo of this. Greetings from Russia!
Szena, seno, szalma slama, kosza kasa Kovács kovac patko podkova
this is mostly pure folk etymology :D
Sátán is a Hebrew loan word. the same consonants with 'Isten' are a pure coincidence. :D :D :D
some of your other examples are dodgy too, like "vár" as castle has persian origins and it's root the Middle Persian 'var' means 'stronghold'.
Nyúl (rabbit) is also just a homophone of the verb 'nyúl' (reaches out for sg./elongates) and this is the root of 'nyúlánk'.
Embryo is from Medieval Latin that borrowed the word from Ancient Greek. So besides the similar sounding 'ember' and 'embrió' have no etymological connection whatsoever.
Just found you and subscribed. Love your stories. Quite beautiful and your love and enthusiasm for history is inspiring. Thank you so very much.
I honestly expect you would have 1 million already. You're a channel that seems like something everyone would sub to. Something for everyone.
Excellent. Thank you. I love the maps and reminders of who people are. Much better than other presentations
Great video! I think we can forgive your pronunciation lol. As a Hungarian, the only name that really hurt my ears was Vajk (it should be pronounced like "Vayk"). Oh and one other thing: you said things with "s" or "sz" letters like it was in Polish, but we "swap" those sounds over (S is like an english "sh", Sz is like an eglish "s")
I'm still confused. Is that Vajk supposed to be "Vie icc" or "Vike"?
@@cletus223 Technically neither but Vike is the closer one. The problem is the "a" sound in Hungarian doesn't really exist in English. It is somewhere between "a" and "o". But if you say "Vike" a Hungarian will likely understand you better than if you say "Vie icc" or "Vajk" in the way he said it in the video.
@@gergoturan4033 So if it's between a and o, is it like Vuhyk or is this sound more similar to Scandinavian å? Våik?
@@greggor07 I think it is just easier to link the wikipedia article of the specific sound. (There is an audio sample on the right)
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_back_rounded_vowel
Keep in mind this is the correct sound but in Hugarian the sound is a little shorter than the one in the sample.
Here is a random audio sample of "Vajk" from a short film I just looked up from reference:
czcams.com/video/ec5HE4kek-w/video.html
this is what he is saying:
"Neve Vajk, törökül hőst, bajnokot jelent..." which means:
"His name is Vajk, in Turkish it means hero, champion..."
Oh, one more thing. We also use the "å" sound but we write it as "o" or "ó", and the "ø" sound which we write as "ö" or "ő". If it is a short sound we use the first variants, if it is a long one we use the second variants.
Thank you for useful linguistic info. You have added to the world constructively.
Great video! Thank you for making this.
Such a great video! I love this channel. My favorite channel by far!
'gy' is pronounced 'dj' in Hungarian. So it's not pronounced magjar but madjar.
Just a sidenote
Same with Budapest, It's pronounced Budapesht. You can easily get the right pronouciation from Google translate.
@@bogmorh868 Not to mention 'Vajk', pronounced 'voik'. Wouldn't you think historians could pronounce it properly?
Not to mention Talksonie, that well-known Italian historian
Man I love your channel. Great work❤️
Man, I loved your video! The style, rythm, voice, etc. Thanks! Great job
You're getting better and better...keep it up! 👍
Hallo from Denmark . Amazing video about the magyars and the history of Hungary. Simply another Master piece from history time .... Now you mention Henry the Fowler . And we know him here in Denmark to . He is the indirect reason . That a United danish viking kingdom came into exsistence . In 933/34 King Henry the Fowler came in war with Denmark . The danes was defeated . And that left the border Wall/fortifications known as the danevirke stood right open . And Henry coud march straight into Jutland with his Army . There he forced Gnupa the King of Jutland to biptized as aChristian . And after thar Henry went home . Shortly after that Gnupa died... And his son Sigtryg took the throne ... But the defeat had left Sigtyg’s dynasty the house of Olaf(named after the semi legendary King Olaf the brash. That is Said to have ruled around the year 900) were unpopular. . And his enemies took avantage of that . In to the scene steps Harthacnut/Cnut the first . According to saga the tales of Regnars sons . Hardacnut was the son of Sigurd snake in eye . And thus Hardacnut was a the Grandson of Regnar Lothbrook(Regnar Lothbrook belongs to the danish sagas. And Regnar was a dane )....But Hardacnut started a rebellion and deposed Sigtyg... And Hardacnut became King of Jutland . And with him the knytlinga dynasty ("House of Cnut's Descendants )/Jelling dynasty took power ... Around 936 Hardacnut died. And his son Gorm(also known as Gorm The old) became King . Gorm ruled Denmark untill his death in 958. And thats when his son Harold Bluetoth became King . And Harold unified Denmark into a single by forcing the rulers on the Island Zealand and Funen to submit to him . And Harold was also the first Christian King of Denmark ..... So Henry the Fowler has a hand in creating a unified danish kingdom . By defeating King Gnupa and thus making the house of Olaf unpopular ... He indirectly paved the Way for another powerfull dynasty to depose the house of Olaf and take power . And they eventuly created Denmark as single King . Now the current danish Queen Margarete the second. She Can actully Trade her family back Gorm the old and Knytlinga dynasty . So one single family has been monarchs of Denmark since 936 . Though its different branches of the family that family that has been sitting on throne through the centuries ....
Crazy story, I though Lothabrok was half Swedish and half Danish and also I've heard that he was not really a real person, rather a legendary figure.
Well the Regnar of sagas is legendary . But Frankish sources mention him (or Regnarius as the latin text calls ) him as leader of group danish vikings that laid siege by Paris in 845. But were bought Off with gold...
madsdahlc I feel like you have to much nationalism when you read about these Vikings.
Have you read the saga about Ormtunga, it's about a Icelandic man who is sent by his father to explore the world. He goes to England, Norway, Denmark and Sweden.
All these people spoke the same tongue, had the same religion and the same culture. Denmark as a country you can argue started in 1848 after the revolution against absolutism. Denmark definitely did not exist in the 850's.
The raid of Paris was of Vikings, who knows if all of those Vikings where born in lands held a Danish Chief.
People who are born in Malmö are Swedish unless you where born in Malmø before 1658 then you where Danish.
How can you know that all the Vikings under the leadership of Ragnar was from Denmark and why does it matter?
your bruv Joey I dont have any nationalism here ...so o dont pull the nationalism card on me . I have been history geek my whole life. So you are playing the Big boys noe . I keep to Well known facts . Yes Denmark did most curtainly exsist in 850’es . Not as unified country . But as s series of kingdoms (its even mentioned in Frankish /german /English sources . Basicly mark is an old Scandinavian word for land . So Denmark basicly means land of the danes) . Now already around 800 a strong central power exsisted in Jutland . As the border Wall the danevirke was before that time . And that demands strong central power... Also a Channel was dug at the Island of Samsø . Another evidence of a strong central power . But also after Regnarius raid on Paris in 845. The Frankish sources says danes . No Way around(its possible that were norwegians and swedes among the vikings raiders). But evidence suggest that the raid on Paris happened on the danish King Horiks orders (Horik was King in Jutland). As he was involved with diplomatic aftermath after raid... The Frankish kingdom had just split into two kingdoms West Frankish (modern day France and East Frankia (modern day Germany ) . And modern historians belive that Horik might taken avantage on that split to cause trouble (As a viking fleet also attacked Hamburg) .... The West franks sent diplomats to Horiks court . Where they damanded the raiders be punished . Biut its not known if that happened . West Frankish sources does however mention that Regnar/Regnarius died shortly after raid on Paris ... Modern historian are guessing its dysentery ... Also Frissland in East frankia was attacked by danish vikings ... The trouble from Horik only stopped , when Horik was beset by internal trouble. He had lost control over his cheiftains . And he was forced to share his kingdom with an unkown Nephew .... Again I refering to Frankish sources here . Around 854 Horik was in civil war against his own brother Guttorm . And that ended in battle where Horik and Guttorm both were killed . His succesor Horik the second did have the strong power of his Predecessor. So the kingdom started breakup/go into decline . He was basicly a weak King ... And many cheiftains started act Independently from the King . Horik disapears around 864 from written sources. And at the same the grat heathen Army appears in north of England. And Jutland entered weak period . Where not much is known . The incident with the german King Henry the Fowler and force baptism of King Gnupa is known . Its mentioned in german sources . Jurland was only unified under strong ruler again when the knlytlinga dynasty deposed the house of Olaf and took power in Jutland around 936. ....
your bruv Joey but yes they spoke the tongue . In viking age Denmark and norway people spoke s language called East Nordic . While in sweden they spoke a language called East Nordic . But after viking rulers began to convert to Christianity (starting with the danish King Harold Bluetoth in 965). Scandinavia was influenced a lot german and latin ... A lot of latin abd german words found their Way into languages spoken in Scandinavia . And that influence caused East and West Nordic to evolve into modern day swedish/danish and norwegean ... So the modern Scandinavian languages are basicly latinized versions of old viking age Scandinavian languages ....
Love the video keep up the good work

Why don't you mention the battles of 907 Pressburg and 908 Eisenach both astounding Hungarian victories that for decades secured Hungary from German invasion. 933/955 was only the reversal when Germans achieved some success in containing the Hungarians. All you western historians remember is the Hungarian defeats. Yet inexplicably here we are still after 1000+ years. No nation that only has defeats survives a thousand years. If our history is filled with defeats that means others wrote it with ill intent.
The word "invasion" seems a little bit strange in that context: "reconquest" and "defence" would be better terms.
Feeling persecuted? Please explain Apponyi's decision to close down Slovak -language schools.
@@busterbiloxi3833 Slovak is one of the youngest ethnonym in Europe, the "Slovak" term was born only in the 15th century, in the early modern period. Without own ethnonym, we can't even speak about identity or ethnicity. Slovaks were early modern period mixture of immigrants: Czech Hussites from the N-west, Polish immigrants from the north, Local Hungarians, nomadic Vlach settlers in Eastern Slovakia, Rusyn people in the east, and some German settlers. This modern mixture had a clear impact on various Slovak "dialects". In the reality this were not dialects but rather different languages. This mixature is mirrored in their many old languages Until the birth of the unified "Central Slovak" language in the 19th century, some of the Slovak dialects were closer to Czech language, others were closer to Polish language another dialects were closer to the Rusyn language. So Slovaks did not have even a common mutually intelligible language (which is a corner point of a real nation or an ethnic group) until the Slovak linguistic reforms of the 19th century. You can read about it here: www.101languages.net/slovak/dialects.html?fbclid=IwAR19gTNaoArw_vhLG3A5bJoXDZ2UWYC7BgHvInt6S66q2NQxnKIJOuaRrzo The common unified mutually intelligible Slovak language was spread by the Czechoslovak school system during the interwar period and the communist era, which remained the central policy and goal of the Czechoslovak governments.
Oh, shut up. Your Hungarian grievances are boring. Hungarians have no right to rule other peoples. Trianon gave you what you deserved - a small country, which, as it turns out, is xenophobic and authoritarian. Stop complaining and if you don't like your current situation, do something about it!
@@busterbiloxi3833 the last hundred years have shown it clearly that you can't do anything with the land you have stolen. No civilizational value was added, you can't develop the cities, can't raise architecturally valuable buildings, can't protect nature ... there was no value added, just taken away. These cities went from being the pioneers in Europe (first city with electric lights etc.) to Balkan slum favelas under your rule. You are right tough in one aspect, there is no point in one nation ruling over another hoping to teach it values and raise it up, it does not work that way at all. Also, we don't need to do absolutely anything - you are doing plenty enough to yourselves to squander all that you gained.
As a hungarian thanks for this video, you did a great job again. But it was funny to hear as you pronounced our strange names :D especially Bulcsú. But no problem, you're not native hungarian. This dinasty gave several saints. Not only King István, but prince Imre (the son of István), king László (Ladislaus), princess Piroska (daughter of Ladislaus, with the name of Irene - later byzantian empress), princess Margit (Margaret), princess Erzsébet (Elizabeth, later the wife of duke Hermann of Thuringia), princess Kinga (Kunigunda, later queen of Poland) were canonized. This Aethelred line is real new for me. There was a scottish queen - also a with the name of Margaret - with a daughter-line descendancy (and also a saint), probably she was a descendent of István's sister or daughter. So her son king David I. was Árpád-dinasty descendant too, and also a saint. Thanks again.
it IS a pretty hard language both to understand and pronounce😅
visiting in December, so thought Id learn a bit of greetings and other useful phrases, but I just gave up🙄
Thank you. This was highly informative and and true. The pronunciation could have used some more work but I don't blame you, Hungarian is hard for English speakers because we have radically different sounds. For example the name Taksony is not said like Tak Sony, it is pronounced as "Tak-shoñ"
French Orthography: Taqschiogne
Pronounce as described Taksony (T-a-k-s-o-ny) pronouncing all letters.
Of course, it is full of factual errors and sometimes quite amazing stupidities.
I learn so much from joska soos he was Hungarian also but lived in Belgium he was a sjaman who learnt from an old horse handler in Hungary when he was young, then worked in the mines here in Belgium later, he wrote a book on his experience as a sjaman, very interesting, Joska soos

I was hoping I could hire some Magyar horsemen to protect my network. 😉😉😉
I am really enjoying your videos! Thank you so much!
Nice segue to your sponsor.
Great video !👍
Wow just saw this, cant wait to watch, fascinating subject. The first video of yours that I watched was about the slavic king I think Yaroslav or someone from the still pagan slavic era. Hungary is fascinating. I'd love to see some of your research on the Great Migration Period. Thanks so much.
Yaroslav was a Christian king, the Son of the first Christian king of the Rus St. Vladimir. The pagan kings were Rurik, Oleg, Igor and Syvatoslav.
I would love for you to do a history of Poland - looking at the comments, there are quite a few other Poles here as well :)
The day you add subs in every language, you'll make BBC and Nat Geo broke. Outstanding video!

The people are called Avars by modern history are in fact the remaining Huns after the fall of Attila’s empire.
When the Magyars arrived there was no fighting between them as they were basically the same nation.
Just to clarify
Huns were mostly Turkic.
@@anotherhistoryenthusiast5874 Turks mostly hunnic :P
In fact Avars are not Huns. They are just another nomadic tribe, like Magyars, Kumans, Mongols. There were no Avars in Panonia, when came Magyars. Avars were defeated and disapeared by Samo.
Mayby battle at Mohac was lost due to relationship between Magyars and Turks (IMAO).
