    Another fun fact: The word "howitzer" originates from Czech "houfnice" (and not just in english, you have the "Haubitze" in German, "obice" in Italian, "gaubitza" (гаубица) in Russian, etc.).
    Also, the word "houfnice" comes from another Czech word, "houf", which means a "crowd". So, essentially, the gun for firing into crowds!

    • @Motofanable
      @Motofanable Před 6 lety +12

      houf does not sound very czech to me or at least slavic

    • @crazymachinima1
      @crazymachinima1 Před 6 lety +81

      True, "houf" itself originates from German, but considering the fact that Bohemia was historically directly influenced by German speaking nations (it was a part of the Holy Roman Empire, and then of the Habsburg monarchy), and possesed a substantial German ethnic minority up until 1945, that is not really surprising.
      The word is rather old and rarely used today, and is primarily used when describing birds (the best English counterpart would be a flock). However, it was commonly used for gathering of people in the Old Czech, and can be used as such today. You will probably sound pretty ancient though.

    • @bvthebalkananarchistmapper5642
      @bvthebalkananarchistmapper5642 Před 5 lety +19

      +crazymachinima1 The word "Haubica" used in the Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian and Montenegrin languages (or, rather, language, since, by the mutual intelligibility definition of what counts as a dialect and what a language, these 4 are just dialects of the same language) also originates from that Czech word you mentioned.

    • @Motofanable

      Really? Did Genghis or Scipio ever let army of farmers, women and childeren against profesional army, when enemy outnumberd them more than 10:1 and still achieve victory? Did they lead their troops totaly blind against superior enemy, and still manage to lured the enemy into the trap an achieve victory? Zizka did it. He was outnumbered in almout every battle and he still always won, even when he was blind. He lead unskilled peasants without any armor angainst heavily armerd soldiers, who had years of training, and he won. He introduced completly new tactics (which almost made heavy cavalry obsolete 450 year before automatic guns), and he brought firearms onto european battlefields. Thanks to him the world know the word pistol, which has czech origin and comes from "píšťala", which is how hussites call their hand guns. Zizka is the greatest.

    Great video as always, but you forgot to mention one amazing fact about Jan Žižka. He lost one of his eyes in the Battle of Grunwald in 1410. Then in 1421 at the siege of Rabi he lost his other eye. And still he lead armies till his death in 1424. In that time he achived indisputable victories at the big battles at Nebovidy, Habry, Deutschbrod, Hořice and Malešov plus a couple of smaller engagements.
    *Jan Žižka was so badass he led an army for three years while being wholly blind and still managed to decisively win five major battles having much smaller forces in each one of them.*

    Before being burned at the stake, Jan Hus said that “you may cook this goose, but in 100 years, a swan will arise, and you won’t be able to silence him.” Hus meant goose in that language, so that’s the origin of the term, “me goose is cooked.” The swan whom the Catholics were unable to silence was Martin Luther.

Thanks to this and his military genius, he is one of the very few undefeated generals; ranking along the likes of Alexander of Macedon.

    Just to clarify, we don't just call Bohemians Czechs. Bohemia is the western part of Czechia and Moravia is the eastern part. Bohemians and Moravians both are and were called Czech, after their common language

    • @dfiala9890
      @dfiala9890 Před 6 lety +134

      ferko perko -- absolutely wrong. The word "Bohemia" does indeed come from the Latin name for the region, but it refers to the Celtic "Boii" people who once lived there. As the Slavic people migrated into the region two Czech-speaking tribes developed on the land formerly occupied by the Boii. One of them took on the name "Bohemian", after the Latin name for the region, the other took on the name "Moravian", I believe after a forest there. Both the Moravians and the Bohemians have always been refered to as "Czech". Czech being the name of the Slavic language that the two tribes share.
      Put another way, Bohemians are Czech, but not all Czechs are Bohemian.
      Edit: I happen to be a Bohemian Czech, ethnically. Not that it should matter

      At the time it was a part of the Lands of the Bohemian Crown (Corona regni Bohemiae), which included Silesia, Moravia and Lusatia, shortening it to just Bohemia should not be considered a mistake.
      Besides, czech language doesn't have separate terms for Czechs and Bohemians , Bohemia is called Čechy, which means the land of the Czechs.

    The Wagenburg (or wagon fort) became so ingrained as a Hussite thing in people's minds that in Polish "tabor" became a common name for it.
    And through the ages it's meaning became much wider and nowadays it means anything from a rolling stock to nomadic group of Gypsies.
    So yeah, the legacy of Hussites still lives on in that part of Europe in ways people aren't even aware of.

      Today, in modern world of Czech republic, tábor means camp/campsite.
      Edit: Oh, and that thing with gypsies. Today they are no longer nomadic (it was like 100 years ago), lots of them live in ghettos and rundown houses. Naturally they live from our taxes and if they have more than 3 kids, the financial benefits are high enough for them to avoid any kind of work plus they have many discnouts from cities they live in. Over all that, most of them still can be seen in better clothes than the normal working man, which pisses the f from everyone here.

      In Czech, the word comes from the name of a mountain in southern Bohemia and means "a camp". The mountain is named after the mountain Tabor in Izrael. After Hus died, huge crowds of pilgrims came on Tábor for devine services and they would camp on the mountain. Later a Hussite town was founded in the place bearing the same name.

    If you understand Czech, there's a great trilogy of films by Vavra on CZcams, Jan Hus, Žižka, and Proti vsem. In Žižka, the battle of Sudoměř is just incredible and you can find that alone also.

    Isn't it kind of weird that the Czech republic is now one of the least religious parts of Europe?

    • @ferkoperko795
      @ferkoperko795 Před 6 lety +91

      This is actually agreed among historians to be the reason for it. Or to be more precise, the beggining of the long way to our refusal of religion. After hussites won freedom for their religion, czechs were later forcibly and brutally recatholized and since then catholics were either our enemy or oppresors. And after hundreds of years of constant religious conflicts, changes of various dogmas forced upon the population (hussites, catholicism, protestantism, catholitism,...) based on the current ruler affilation, the Czechs came to the conclusion that there is no God. Seriously, that is condensed version of what happened.

      Is it because of communism too?

    • @ferkoperko795
      @ferkoperko795 Před 6 lety +42

      Not really, take a look at other countries that were communist - Poland, Slovakia and others. Catholicism is strong and communism didnt hurt it. That was not the case in Czechia.

      we learn this stuff in school when we are little kids. (5-6 years). Žižka is a fucking hero. The religion? stupid bullshit, they took Jan hus! next reason - after the second defenestration, the witch hunt was really hard in bohemia. like, really really hard, i recommend you find something about it. Boblig did terrible things. Because of this and hussite wars, we HATE religion with passion.
      Fuck Zikmund. Fuck the church. Fuck boblig.

    • @komacope
      @komacope Před 6 lety +21

      Not at all. 1) burning of Jan Hus by Catholic immoral whores and Hussite fight against Crusades 2) Forced recatholisation after year 1620 3) Foreign Habsburg rulers were mainly Catholics since 1526 till 1918 4) Era of Communism.
