- The Rise of Great Powers - Episode 1: Rome - Risen from Defeat | History Documentary
Watch 'The Rise of Great Powers - Episode 2' here: • The Rise of Great Powe...
In this first episode - "Roman Citizenship", the secret behind Rome's rise as an ancient hegemon is revealed. Rome did not always end its battles in victory. In fact many began in defeat. The second Punic War, which broke out in 218 BC, was the biggest crisis in Rome's history. This documentary reveals how Rome was able to hold the Roman alliance together even as it stood on the brink of collapse.
The Rise of Great Powers' is an odyssey across time and space, going from ancient Rome to America in the 20th century. It is the fruit of two years of labor which traces the great powers’ rise to glory. The world’s leading academics reveal the 'X factor' that these nations had and others didn’t. This historical quest ultimately addresses the universal question - “What is it that makes a nation, community or organization powerful?”

What about the japanese empire
And the Babylonian world empire? I think it actually was the Babylonian empire that was the head of it all. From there it succeeded the other empires
13:55-14:43 Not gonna lie, that was an interesting depiction of how alliances shifted during Alexander’s Campaign.
This is a very inaccurate documentary. Alexander fought Darius more than once to beat the Persian empire and Alexander sacked and leveled the great city of Tyre to get the Phoenicians to submit. Alexander even had to fight some of his own Greek people at first such as Thebes. So, no Alexander conquering the Persian empire wasn't as simple as two guys fist fighting on a chess board.
@@sterlingsimmons2212 not to mention that the battle of Zama was apparently in 216 B.C.E.
The "reenactment" at 14:00 had me in stitches.
I’m crying this is amazing
Finally a history docu that gives a different point of view on historical conflicts: if you win battles but you can't win hearts, in the end you loose
Hearts ? You had to win stomachs. As long as people have food ,shelter & security ,they generally didn't mind who ruled them.there was no sensof nationalism as we have now. Warlords, kings and what have you came and went. Do you think Attila the hun won the hearts of the former Roman empire ?
Let’s not forget that Hannibal also had to deal with the different languages within his army. That’s not an easy thing to do. To issue orders during a battle and having to do it in ways his troops will understand.
excellent observation.
@@FreeDocumentaryHistory what about a similar chinese documentary?
Battle can be pretty loud sometmes orders are not verbal
Same goes for Romans, Roman army was very multiethnic.
But all of these armies were experienced in this and had well developed system of command and communication.
DO DOME research, they have ingenious ways.. multiple ways to communicate.
Amazing video, the quality of the animation only gets better everytime! 💗🤞✨
thank you for adding these and sharing this
Great introduction to this great historical series!
so glad you liked it!
Very interesting presentation and analysis of situations. Thank you ♥️
Rome is always interesting.
I learned something powerful from this video: A strong social structure which cannot be destroyed by lost battles.
Where a few live well at the cost of others. Sad wars. Too much greed.
Now I understand why Rome is considered the foundation for Western World and Modern Democracy. It not ethnicity or race that drives Rome, It is Rome that drives everything.
Thanks!
Try 193 AD for Septimious. Not BC
I like this!
Hannibal himself said Alexander the Great was the best general to ever live.
He also said u had tiny meat n beat that poor lil thing to death
Love this chanel
Truly amazing doc
What we can do and what not. What is DUE and not. Where can we keep them and for what?
Uniting people with a common goal is the easiest way to gain control. This gets harder if you have different cultures and stuff
Ok...Celts is pronounced "Kelts"... Celtic, pronounced "Seltic" is a Football club in Scotland, that aside, thank you for posting this video, an excellent production...
And a Basketball Team in Boston, USA.
.
Romans true strength ,wasn't only citizenship but also by their ability to buy,borrow and own other cultures
Diversifying your country gives you a great advantage in progression,specifically in tech
This is originally a Korean documentary, which is why these seem so unbiased.
One guy says “Alexander the Great beat Persia by winning 1 battle.” Next the doc indicates it was Two battles. Get your facts straight
This conflict was important to Romes development as a power,but where are these numbers coming from.
So much inaccuracy in this video.
1. Fabius Cunctator was dictator in Rome in 217BC before the Battle of Cannae in 216BC. 2. Only people born in Rome or the Romans had citizenship in Rome, and the allied Italian nations did not have the same status as the Romans or the Latins. 3. Many Italian nations actually joined Hannibal. And some of them even fought in the battle of Zama in Africa.
Rome became truly multi-national only after the Marsic War 87 BC, after the war against the Italian allies. And even then it was believed that some Italian nations rebelled against Rome.
I don't know who makes these documentaries but they need to study history a little bit more... And definitely stoooop making CZcams videos with wrong information!
What’d they get wrong?
You should have included the Persian Empire as well
That suit though
In order to see the glories of GOD ALMIGHTY..I AM..HIS NAME FOREVER MAY WE OPEN THE HEAVENS WITH WORSHIP TO GOD ALMIGHTY..I AM..HIS NAME FOREVER with mind soul heart
This documentary is interesting, yet it provides some very inaccurate information. In addition, they skip over many things that CZcams channels like HistoryMarche (who are 10,000 times better than this documentary) significantly highlight in Roman/Hannibal's history (check out his Hannibal series). Hence, another big reason why mainstream historical documentaries tend to present some agenda or biased recounting of events.
Kings and Generals is great too
This series is really good but I wish it had a better narrator lol I also do wish it included Persia
Actually a lot of historians say Cannae was the biggest and most bloodiest battle in roman history with more casualties than any battle in history plus they say Cannae had more casulties than all the americans killed in the vietnam war plus i can see why the romans lost because they were more focused on the center and using there superior manpower to overpower and overwhelm hannibal and his army plus thats how the legion was created to steamroll and overwhelm the enemy but hannibal predicted they would used there superior numbers to overwhelm him and used that against them so he devised a plan using a false retreat leading the roman army deeper and deeper into the fray and then when the signal came the romans we're surrounded and incircled on all sides being outflanked outmaneuvered outsmarted plus hannibal had the Numidian Calvary that lured the roman calvary away returned and came in from behind cutting off the retreat and after the battle all that remained was blood death and total annihilation
Uh yea that's literally what this episode is about.
punctuation much ?
We have forgotten what the earth is created from, we have forgotten that it is truly a human so that the earth
This Video has the Wrong Title . This wasn’t about the rise of Rome it’s kinda sorta about Hannibal
Hannibal fell into the trap that others have fallen into which is to believe the same strategy that worked against one enemy (Persia) will work against another (Rome).
I have seen this progarm on EBS(Korean education tv channel) 9 years ago. But, it doesn't exist in EBS youtube channel.
WITH RIGHTEOUSNESS with JUSTICE AND LITTLE BY LITTLE WITH PERFECTION WITH THE GUIDE OF ITS CREATOR WE WILL MAKE HIS PURPOSE AND HIS PLAN BEING THE FORMULA THAT HE IS FULLY PLEASED
You make me laugh so hard over the battle of the chess board! 😆🤣😂
*"Could it of been some kind of sorcery"*
*WHUT!¿!¿?🤯*
One important detail has been omitted: the pleasures of Capua, which softened the Carthaginians.
The documentary has a very interesting message: powerful social structure via citizenship.
Narrator said in 193 BC Septimius Severus became emperor of Rome, it was slip of the tongue, its actually 193 AD, not 193 BC.
31:30 "Persia, the world's first empire..." uh, NO? the Akkadians beat Darius to the trick by some 1800 years. The Egyptians had one even earlier than THAT.
In an IMPERIAL MONARCHY AS A GREAT FAMILY AND OWNER OF THE LAND AND EVERYTHING THERE IS, WE WILL DEFEND IT
If Hannibal thought he couldn’t attack Rome directly, he was foolish to even go to Rome
He wasn’t foolish, he simply miscalculated. He thought he could get enough of the Italian allies to defect from Rome after their catastrophic losses, but enough of them held the line to give Rome the manpower and willpower to win the war.
I realize that
Can't remember exactly where i saw/read/heard this, but i believe in that age the custom was if you beat their armies 3 times you were meant to surrender. Rome was, by 'custom', supposed to open its gates after being defeated at the Battle of the Trebia, Lake Trasimene, and Cannae.
Yup
@@rabselyoehnam1291 Why didn’t Hannibal spend years gathering intelligence on the Roman alliance (social structure) before making war on them? It seems to me that he forgot one of the most important principles of war which is to ‘know your enemy’. You have to know everything about your enemy before you wage war with them.
Why didn’t Hannibal time his march to the Alps so that his army would cross them when there would be a lot less snow on them? How is losing half of your army, and most of your elephants a great success? Why didn’t Hannibal and his army acquire more winter clothing (furs) before crossing the Alps?
Ah ... the good old simple days
Septimius Severus lived in 193 AD not BC. Amd he was not the son of Hannibal he was his descendant.
There are a lot of inaccuracies in this document unfortunately. Crassus definitely was not the top commander as he just paid his way up and he screw up a lot of things for Rome. Then USA is definitely NOT the most multiracial country in the world, this place belongs to Brazil.
That could change in the future as the demographics of the U.S. get more and more diverse over time.
Homogeniality is the one trait that led to the rise of the empires of the Greeks, Romans, Mongols, and British. But as these empires expanded, they absorbed the different ethnic groups and cultures into their own that eventually weakened their grip of power over them. The Macedonians were diluted; the Romans had barbarians as slaves in Rome; and many of the Mongols became Muslims in Central Asia. Over time, these empires collapsed.
a very important lesson. The future of the empire will not be from just citizens in your core but from its edges. And citizenship should be taken very seriously. a major flaw in current American politics. Citizens are more important then non citizens. Do this and you will win the crowd.
Scipio Africanus survived Cannae and won at Zama vs Hannibal.
Yes but he learn from who ???.That is who's credit ? Alas !!!.
💯
Because the have harsh discipline. All of them Romans, Mongols and Britons had harsh discipline. According to modern standard it was brutal.
Also it was the Summerian empire that came 1st
Hello there.
ROME ROME I AM ROME CAESAR EMPEROR OF ROME AND REBUILT ROME WITHIN MY HEART SOUL MIND. WITH ADORATION TO GOD ALMIGHTY..I AM..HIS NAME FOREVER SO THAT ROME MAY BE GLORIFIED
Hannibal great strategist of antiquity? But ALEXANDER?!
Severus was emperor from 193 AD, NOT BC !
Granted citizenship as a Roman citizen...but you didn't talk about first class, second and third class citizenship.. that's exactly what you have in some countries in Europe and in North America 🤔🙄😎
I love when narrators make silly statements like "it was not possible to cross the Alps with a large army". Sad part is many people are likely to believe that nonsense.
I always thought Augustus was the 1st emperor of Rome in like Caesar Augustus (born Gaius Octavius; 23 September 63 BC - 19 August AD 14), also known as Octavian, was the first Roman emperor--- at 48 min in this video they say the 3rd emperor in 200 bc was,,,,,Really
Peace
I’d like a documentary done on the Chinese Han Dynasty. Never see any cool documentaries on it.
Who is this Chinese presenter? I'm a big fan.
193 bc, a roman emperor? How? when Rome had been a republic for 500 years and only changed to an empire with Augustus rein? hmmmmm
14:00 why don’t more Western documentaries show this kind of thing?
13:55 And then they forgot they’re making a documentary
Didn't Dido's curse Aneaus' decendants to never be at peace with Carthage? Dido was a phenecian princess and founder of Carthage. Aneaus was a trojan prince who hooked up with Dido and had kids with her, but he was restless and took the kids to Italy (as well as the other trojan refugees). Aneaus was Romulus' and Remus' 8 x Great Grand Father (or something like that). Dido ended her curse with 'hell hath no fury than a woman scored!
Min 17,18 incorrect...the First Battle was in 218 ac near the Ticino river...far norther than the Trebbia
There was no Roman Empire in 193 BC - it was still the Roman Republic and didn’t become the Roman Empire until Augustus in the late first century BC. Voice over man got that wrong.
Among other things... First time I have ever hear him called "King Alexander" too! 😃
Being a soldier was a most brutal life.
Putin has failed on all these points
Unfortunately, he is not going anywhere and will negotiate a peace at some point.
All of this makes one think that Hannibal may have been a great battlefield commander but he was not a great strategist because he not only underestimated his enemy but did not gather the correct information as to his enemy’s true strength. Instead, he’s relied on information that wasn’t pertinent to his situation. This also means he was one of the poorest grand strategists of all time. I know, controversial but the facts seem to support this.
He won all the battles but had no siege craft so he was just a band of brigands in the countryside defeated as soon as Rome attacked his home.
He seemed to have copied Alexander the Great though. His strategies, formations, plans, etc.
Gotta admit though,,,,crossing the Alps,,,gutsy move
@@mr.dales3rd-4thmath61 definitely a gutsy move. If his losses weren’t so high it may have payed off.
Sorry but i disagree dude. Hannibal knew exactly what he was going up against, and before he made the journey into the Alps he sent word back home saying dont expect my return. He knew full well what was going to eventually happen, but he went anyway because he wanted revenge for what the romans had done to his own family and to his country. He had a very deep seeded hate for them since he was a little kid.
For you to suggest what you did, after Hannibal hits them where they least expect it multiple times, gaining entry into italy via where they least expect it, combined with the battlefield maneuvers they came up with, for you to say that is just ridiculous man.
I feel you have such an opinion because in the end he didn't succeed on taking down the empire, but that wasnt his goal dude, he knew he couldn't do that, but he did know he could cause absolutely chaos everywhere he went before the inevitable took place.
Him recognizing and accepting such factors, performing how he did in the meantime, well,
that shows brilliance to me.
@@jamesmaddison4546 I have to disagree with you partly. Hannibal expected a few big wins and Rome would collapse. His goal was to cause the collapse of Rome as a power and a nation. He didn’t realize how resilient Rome was and that it always went to bat for its allies (at least, at that time it did). Carthage ended up being saddled with states that didn’t want to fight because they felt Carthage in general and Hannibal in particular didn’t care about them as allies. Rome seemed to have a grand strategy, Hannibal did not or, if he did, it was flawed. For all of his victories, Hannibal did not win the war nor did he even gain any strategic value from those victories, it appears.
That is why I feel Hannibal is overrated.
And may there be glories of constructive building victories in HUMANITY with heavenly knowledge carrying a LAW MANDATES AND MAY THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH BE AS BEFORE THE HEAVENS WERE OPENED
One Fact for considering rome the greatest empire is the fact that at one time only rome has total control of the Mediterranean sea when they subjugated all nations surrounding it which is almost impossible no other empire has done this not greece not the muslims caliphs nor the Carthaginians themselves.
Please. It’s Rome. Not roam which is a verb. I don’t mean to sound petty but you’ve got autocorrect no?
@@FreeDocumentaryHistory oh sorry i did not notice that yes i have autocorrect thanks for noticing.
Under Charles V (I of Spain) Spain ruled on an empire over which the sun never set.
0:40 Yeah neither the Roman nor the Mongol Empire were nations.
Hannibal was a great tactician and logistician, but he was probably a relatively poor strategist, although the Roman naval supremacy made things difficult for him.
I didn't think Rome had navel supremacy until they captured one of their kit set ships and learned how to make them. Romans were a land based fighting power but they learned how to build the Carthaginian ships and added a huge flat platform that dropped down and anchored itself to the Carthaginian ships, creating a good fighting platform similar to as if on land. That was my understanding.
Carthage was sacked about 70 years after Cannae
I just checked and Rome WAS the leading sea power since end of first Punic war. Sorry!
Spain and the Spanish Armada should have learned from the Romans before attacking and invading the coasts of England. Afterwards, England rose to a great power precisely because of the defeat of the Spanish Armada 🤔😎🙄
Is there a bust statute of Hannibal...?
1:33 reminds me of putin
😮😊
the america empire please
Absorbing the conquered is a strong argument. Without this one can have numbers now at the present, and their children will secure the future of the state. I believe the USA didn't do that and still has a fragmented society. Russia at the other hand, seems to be very successful at this, since Russia nowadays is a very multinational state and its members considered as Russians. One may think they started as Kievan Rus as a small state around today's Kiev and 1000 after is still a big mighty nation. Yes, I believe that absorbing people is the key for a long-lasted Empire
As a territory built by GOD ALMIGHTY.. I AM.. HIS NAME FOREVER. I try to speak verbally not plural. For children young adults elderly in general also animals and plants
He is trying to compare Rome with the USA, some valid points, he skimps on facts, such as why Scipio won at Zama. The Numidians fought with Scipio at Zama after he struck a deal with them to keep their autonomy from Rome.
Anyone know why Hannibal didn't march on Rome after Cannae? Running low on resources? I thought Carthage mainland didn't want to give Hannibal support. Hannibal was born in Spain and wasn't really acknowledged as a 'pedigree' Carthaginian, they viewed him as a bit of a crazy up start and shyed from giving him their full support.
No
How could you say Athens was a predecessor empire to Rome. Compared to Rome and Carthage, Athens was barely a pin prick.
This is GORGEOUS and HOPEFUL! We need to make govt BACK OFF! Thank You for sharing this 💝💯♾️
Ave Roma!
August 2 ,216 BC lol there was not August nor July in those days
I'm not sure this commentary is edited by historians since some of the statements are entirely incorrect. Persia fell to Alexander in one battle? Then they go on and contradict this statement the very next sentence!
i dont understand why the presenter doesnt speak english..... but the channel is english...
I watched this whole thing. Kind of a strange one. Not saying it was bad. But different. Clearly western history interpreted from an asian view. Its odd that the dialog is in english but some of the graphics have asian letters. Im guessing chinese? One thing that stuck out to me was when the guy mentions early roman myth of the roman men stealing and raping the Phoenician women and pointed out the modern tradition of married men carrying their wife over the door step as a western tradition. That felt weird. This felt like a documentary aimed at asian governments and or people who to this day still rather value humongous societies over largely mixed race ones. I feel like there are some major messages happening in the background of this documentary.
You guessed wrong. The narrator is Japanese. Also, the content is blatantly false/ignorant in claiming that the lost of 100,000 men in the battle was the most in history. Well, in European history, maybe. If this was Chinese narration, they would have corrected that ignorant historian, that, there were many such battles in Chinese history resulting in losses of more than that. One battle for example between the kingdom of Qin and Zhao (known as the Battle of Changping) resulted in the massacre of 450,000 Zhao army.
This history is wha the Bible cals, the trumpets in th Book of Revelation.
Roman citizenship was not as simple as these kinds of documentaries portray it to be. Citizenship in Ancient Rome involved many aspects that historians just kinda throw in the wash with the rest of the laundry and expect people to understand or not give a damn how it worked. Undoubtedly, citizenship was Rome's greatest asset and greatest strength, but maintaining that strength was a delicate and complicated procedure. It would have been easy for Rome to fall apart at the seams, so it was obvious that they were doing something right. From 753 B.C. to 476 A.D., the Roman Empire lasted over a thousand years, and almost 2,000 years if you remember to include Constantinople. No other civilization in history has that legacy, and no other empire has influenced the entire world as Rome has.
As a FAMILY OF THE CAESARS AND SON OF ALMIGHTY GOD..I AM..HIS NAME FOREVER WE WILL DEFEND OUR TERRITORY WHICH IS THE EARTH WITH HONOR.RESPECT.LOYALTY.

750,000 vs. 26,000, nearly half of Hannibal Barca's army, of 50,000, he walked over the "impassable alps" in the middle of winter, sacrificing almost HALF of his forces, before the first battle, made him a brillant strategist how? Final Roman wins in Carthage, carbon copied his own first assault- slaughter-pinscher-buffalloing Victory movement.Alas, Rome would not fall like Greece's stagnant states.
The English translation leaves much to be desired, and the inaccuracies result in a flawed history. "It only took two battles to fall Persia..."? What?
Alexander fought the Persians at Pinarus, Issus and Gaugamela. Once led by Memmon, twice by Darius himself. That's three by my count, and I'm no Sherlock Holmes. I had to stop watching. Come on guys, my 9 year old would correct you on this. He used to watch Alexander the Great documentaries non stop.
