"We're gonna build a fleet and Genoa is gonna pay for it!"
~ Donaldo Trumpini
Charles Dickens don’t forget Pisa and Amalfi
Charles Dickens MVGA
As a Trump supporter, That's actually hilarious.
The Byzantines are not sending us their best.
Making Zena pay for something? Good luck, you'll need it!
(In Italy the Genoese are know to be... very parsimonious)
The animation and visuals in this video are simply astounding. I really don’t know how you do it.
I believe this was once the narrator on The History Channel.
@@andresgarza6565 Charles, the narrator, was indeed an announcer for the History Channel back in the day, where I also worked for many years.
@@EpichistoryTv Too bad the History Channel does not make great productions like this anymore but I love your history videos.
@@EpichistoryTv back when History Channel was actually a channel about history. Thanks for making me passionate about history
ayyy
im subbed to u pls respond
One really cool fact about the Venetian Arsenale was that it was such a powerhouse of labor, tech, and innovation that at its peak it could produce a new ship every day.
I'm proud of living near Venice from my birth
The Ikea of the middle ages.
"we want to buy a fleet"
"well, we currently have 20 ships flat-packed away. I suppose if you gave us another few weeks we could raise that to 60."
"One ship a day" is the understatement of the year. At the peak of its strength, the arsenal could produce a 60 ships strong fleet in 30 days. This because the Serenessima had ALWAYS 60 hulls ready to be made into full "galee". Thia meant they they could absorb losses nobody else could. Also - Arsenale personnel had lifetime employment, paid sick leave, paid retirement, and free food during their work days. The other side of the coin - any any attempt to "leave" or divulge the secrets of the Arsenal meant death
@@signorellil do you have any book suggestions on venice history?
@@prestonpc I recomend "Venice a New History" by Thomas F. Madden

You're here as well.
Greek should have paid their debt venice did nothing wrong
I named my religion 'Denouncing Venice'.

Last Doge of Venice:
"Wow, very last"
"So no more"
"Very over"
This was the comment I was looking for.
The last Doge was an idiot and wa elected only because he was enormously rich. The Serenissima needed money for the war against the Otoman Empire.
@@jeanghika7653 sounds familiar. This is the destination of democracies.

This is a topic I always wanted to know more about. Venetians are touched upon in a lot of other works, but never the focus. Awesome.
Just epic.
You guys have the best historic videos on CZcams, loaded with information.
Please don’t stop.
You have to check out Osprey Publishing if you haven't already.
Excellent history of Venice, thank you. Hope to see Part 2!👍
cant wait for part 2
Can I interest you in another 278 napoleon videos in the meantime?
Best lunch break ever to find a new Epic History upload. Thanks guys.
Always delighted to see a new Epic History video, can't get enough!
I visited Venice for the first time two weeks ago and absolutely adored the city, so this video is great timing.
You now have to plan your travel itinerary to precede their videos. It's in the contract.
Here's Part 1 of a history of Venice - a topic proposed and voted for by Patreon supporters, so you know where to go if you want your idea to get made!

I hope you enjoy the video and don't forget to subscribe AND click the little bell to get updates on future releases! Napoleon in Spain will be the next video.
From the once Republic of Venice, thank you very much
@Epic History TV
New tee shirt is Epic!
"Glorious in the eyes of men, worthy in the eyes of the Gods"
Kinda reminds me of this channel to be fair!
Keep up the great work guys 👍
Talk about my country Algeria pls
Thank you Epic History TV for this remarkable video
I will recommend it to my friends
Keep up and I'm waiting impatiently your future releases !
Please do a full video on the events surrounding the fall of Venice, and how some of its possessions hold out for a few more months after the Republic's surrender to Napoleon!
High quality as always. One of my favourite channels as you guys always cover interesting topics.
This. This is my favourite channel on youtube. Everything from the narrator to the animation, to the depth of history and the level of immersion you offer! Simply brilliant!
So lucky I've been to Venice multiple times... jus 1 hrs away from my city... my fav place ever.... every time I go there I'm still amazed by the glory the Venetians had brought to their Republic and you can still see it by how amazing the city is... the Basillica di San Marco was hands off the most beautiful Basillica in the world...
Love this video; please do more videos like this! They are so informative and it’s great to see history actually put on a clear chronological scale so people can understand it! Great job epic history!
This is brilliant. Such a good way of teaching, the editing and the presentation was top class.
Your channel is so underrated and deserves a lot more attention for your amazing quality of content
This is one the greatest channels on CZcams, period. I wish I was rich I swear I'd give this channel millions. Your videos are beyond words, im serious. Thank you for transporting me into history watching military history in action.
A great historical video. I love your stuff more than majority of other historical channels. Likes.
Superb graphics and storytelling. I never knew Venice had such an interesting history. But the video on Alexander will always be my favorite!
I love videos that play out visually what is discussed. Especially historical vids.
Thank you for this most amazing early Christmas present.
The greatest explanation of what is Venice. Your work is timeless and superior to anyone else by far.
Awesome stuff as always, really interesting learning more about the medieval Mediterranean
As always: solid storytelling and nice visuals, good job guys!
Love you guys ❤️, so happy to see a new episode and hopeful that there are many more with a shorter waiting time.
Voice, production, graphics, research Very well done. Everything.
Excellent! Keep it going! EPIC HISTORY FOREVER!!!
Always brilliant. U make us live the history, thank u guys, iv never descovered history this way.
U deserve 20 millions subscribers. If just people knew how beautiful is history with you.
The timeline was something i loved so much. It helps memorizing the facts nd synchronizing the story in your head..
There are many documentaries to watch about history, but when I hear Epic History's narrator his voice draws me in to watch these instead of others. For me you got to have something unique to keep an audience interested. Best voice hands down!👍😎🤠
Best history CZcams channel bar none! Keep up the good work!!!
"The first of 117 doges who'd rule Venice for a thousand years."
I can't wait until you get to the Italian wars, its amazing that Venice survived as long as it did despite often being surrounded by much larger foes.
😊
I always look forward to all of your uploads. Thanks for what you do. I sent your channel to my history professor so that he can use videos that aren't from the early 2000s in class.
Wonderful as always, looking forward to part 2!
Just a fantastic video! Brilliant!
Very, very good video. Easy to understand, beautiful visuals, and a lot of info on a subject, which is incredibly underrated and neglected, despite its economical, cultural etc. influence in the history of Europe and the World.
Fantastic work. Looks and sounds excellent. I learned a great deal. Can't wait until the next episode. Keep it up!
All i want for christmas is.......
To have epic history tv to upload
I thought you were going to say "to have Constantinople restored". But your wish is good too.
And on my birthday no less!! Thank you Epic History TV! I LOVE MY PRESENT!!!
Happy birthday!
Another great video! Always worth the wait. Looking forward to the next one!
Byzantine Empire and Venice Republics are interesting civilizations no one really talks about. Ive been to Venetian forts in Greece multiple times.
TO BE CONTINUED!?!?
Cant wait for this!! Hope you still plan to do it. Venice and it's history is my all time fav
Great indeed, thank you very much for your time and dedication
I'm lost for words to say how good this channel is.
DAMN I WASN'T EXPECTING THIS I LOVE IT
This is some big budget level of documentary amazing. Truly fascinating.
I really appreciate your content for history geeks like us all. Thank you!!
Amazing video, thank you! Looking forward to part 2.

@@neutronalchemist3241 never knew about that interestin tidbit that could have angered the venetians to wheel and deal for a sacking like that.
@@neutronalchemist3241 I did not know that. Thanks for sharing. Now it makes sense.

That is one of my favourite topics by far! Thanks a lot for the quality content! I immediately subscribed!
Beautiful and high quality again and again..
Venetian tradition states that when St. Mark was traveling through Europe, he arrived at a lagoon in Venice, where an angel appeared to him and said "Pax tibi Marce, evangelista meus. Hic requiescet corpus tuum."
Acts in the Bible shows the original Christinas never had iconography nor statues, never prayed to Mary, never hoarded wealth, never had pagan Dagon hats, never sought political control of the Holy Land and other things heretic Mary-worshippers have done.
@@scintillam_dei The Bible shows that Protestantism is a false religion. It's also why the early Christian writers preached doctrines contrary to Protestantism.

*Venice proceeds to aid in the sacking of Constantinople. It also sells lucrative and geographical maps of Europe to the Mongol Hordes*
_"I'm a simple man, if I see ducats, I take them."_
*-The Doge of Venice*
@Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin The Venetians are actually the ones who kickstarted the greedy, money-loving Jewish stereotype. Usury was strictly forbidden in Catholicism, so they worked around it by letting the Jews function as bankers for quite a while.
@@MarfSantangelo Its worse than that. look at the dna origin of venetians in Paphylygonia, then look at the DNA origins of Yiddish speaking Ashkenazim.
sounds jewey..
@@MarfSantangelo Venetians are the Ferengi in Star Trek. lol

Your work is a true joy to watch, Thank you.
Great to know this one. The Venetians are quite underrated. (And this channel.)
I showed this to a puddle....
*Now it's a canal*
I can't portage that over to the other side of my mental reservoir.
Please update quickly. I loved it!!
Yes yes yes. Please can you try to upload at least once a month, always checking for new videos from you guys. Love your videos
-Was it worth the wait?
-Every.Bloody.Second
❤
Part 2?
Fantastic video, waiting for part two
great video! i really learned so much from this corner of history i had no idea about.
You’re voice is incredible, you should sound like a historian David Attenborough. You should do ALL the commentary to your videos
I can't believe this "little" republic lasted so long, it's amazing!
Great btw
Brilliant as usual. Thank you so much.
Incredible stuff, I don't know why I hadn't seen this before but would love a part 2!
very nice documentary. I look forward for the next part. - Additionally I would like to say that in my area Venetian precence was very intense during Morosini expedition in Morea (Peloponnese). If you need any help in your research I can help you. Also we must say not only the Ottoman - Venetian wars but the Venetian wars against pirates. There are many documnets describing these conflicts.
"Epic History TV is a registered, mediocre player." lmao haha
I too on occasion soak up torpedo's to aid my team to victory.
But check out the amazing torpedo dodge around 0:33, then me iceing that German destroyer... Possibly my finest moment and all caught on camera. I walked into a wall of torpedoes about 2 mins later...
@@EpichistoryTv Oh yes, the classic chicken maneuver to get the enemy torpedo to adjust its course to prevent a collision.. must say old chap way to use the old noggin.
@@EpichistoryTv when you take torpedoes but live to the end XD
Not the only one...
The quality of this channel is amazing
A great video as always. Please keep making history interesting
"to be continued"
me, 2 years later:...WELL?!
Still waiting on the next installment…☠️
Wow, great as usual 👍 Looking forward to part 2.
Great work again
Knowledge being spread, priceless
When is part 2 coming?
La Serenissima sempre nei nostri cuori ❤️
This video was awesome, and the voice was so soothing. Kudos!
Great work! waiting for next chapter!
Where is part 2!?
We're working on it - keep an eye out for updates!
When the second part?
The first thing any obsessive youtube history watcher notices has got to be the highly accurate and dynamic historical mapping. Even had Norman Italy. Very impressed by the level of detail here.
Man, I love your videos. Your're doing an amazing job. Keep it up
You guys have any more napoleonic war videos, those are the best!
Napoleon in Spain will be the next video
I think it's not just me who looks forward to the next part. We love your work, please do not drop this topic.
Thank you. I hope to complete the second part at a later stage.
Yes it’s outstanding. Epic has the best combination of animation & narrative.
commentary is good, animation is good, background is good, basically everything is awesome, no flaws.
where is our to be continued 😢😢😢
Where’s part 2 bruh
I enjoyed this lots! It helps to add to my learning!Keep it up! Love the illustrations that helped!!❤️🌹🎀👍
