He has a cool backstory at least. Star wars has "Savage Opress" as Maul's brother.

Germanic kingdom in Africa makes much more sense than a Greek kingdom in India

Don't forget the Alani, who where basically Iranians, and whose descendants are the Ossetians, how the fuck they ended tagging along with the Vandals into North Africa? It is just one of those quirks of History I love.

well to be fair, the other option was to just let all barbarians steamroll rome. Rome was no longer the great empire it once was in the times of these invasions
@@pandasniper1 yeah you get nowhere with corrupt people in power
Not to mention, this wasn’t exactly a new practice. The rise of the Roman Republic relied heavily on Rome having built agreements with their neighbors and relied on, who were non-Romans at this time, to put up troops in defense of the region.
To be fair, it was standard roman practice for centuries at that point. The roman republic relied on many non roman allies for the defence of Rome. Julius ceasar himself employed Germanic auxiliaries in his legions. So to blame the Roman's on relying on barbarian auxiliaries for protection is a bit unfair when it had worked well for the roman people for well over millennia at that point.
For sure, using barbarian auxiliaries was never the problem. Corruption and the broken promises/betrayal of these auxiliary forces was the issue that came back to stab themselves in the back.

Actually in Tunisia we have an area near the capital named "Ariana" (practically a suburb today). It is believed the name originated from "Arians" as that's where the Vandal population resided (who were Arian Christians).
Also the region of Andalusia in Spain probably derives its name from the Vandals too.
You said what I wanted to say before I say it
Iranic Alans and Germanic Vandals.. .. Iran and Turan ..
Edit: dudes, i know Arianism is related to Christianity, don’t act like this, i thought you could see the big picture.. The whole Christianity is related to Mithraism.. just google Mithra and Jesus.. i wanted to say In Arianism there are elements of Aryan’s culture..

9:30 Stilicho was more Roman than the "Emperor" he served.
It’s amazing how the East in 400 A.D declared Stilicho as a public enemy .
Stilicho seems to have generally been disliked by everyone at the time. Both Roman Christians and pagans seem to have come to an agreement that he was evil because of his vandal ancestry. Many even saw Stilicho as the man ultimately responsible for the sack of Rome.
*Perhaps the most interesting lines in the poem are those where the Roman pagan poet Rutilius assails the memory of "dire Stilicho", as he names him. In Rutilius' view, Stilicho, fearing to suffer all that had caused himself to be feared, removed the defences of the Alps and Apennines that the provident gods had interposed between the barbarians and the Eternal City, and planted the cruel Goths, his skinclad minions, in the very sanctuary of the empire: “He plunged an armed foe in the naked vitals of the land, his craft being freer from risk than that of openly inflicted disaster ... May Nero rest from all the torments of the damned, that they may seize on Stilicho; for Nero smote his own mother, but Stilicho the mother of the world!"*
*It is noteworthy that Rutilius speaks of the crimes of Stilicho in terms far different from those used by Roman Christians like Paulus Orosius and the historians of the later empire. They believed that Stilicho was plotting to make his son emperor, and that he called in the Goths in order to climb higher. Paulus Orosius directly vilifies Stilicho’s vandal ancestry, writing ‘Stilicho, who was sprung from the Vandals, that unwarlike, greedy, treacherous, and crafty race.’ The Christian historians even asserted that Stilicho (a Christian) had designed to restore paganism. But to the Roman pagan poet Rutilius, Stilicho is the most uncompromising foe of paganism. His crowning sin, recorded by the poet alone, was the destruction of the Sibylline books. This crime of Stilicho alone is sufficient, in the eyes of Rutilius, to account for the disasters that afterwards befell the eternal city.*
@@joellaz9836 it must have been just plain distrurt towards foreigners and racism and also a bit of arminius paranoia considering all the power he had
@@muksimulmaad7413
I read that after Stilicho was executed, the treaty he had made with Alaric (which was seen as treacherous for some reason) was revoked and people across Italy saw this as a sign of approval from the government to kill the barbarian foreigners living among them.
*The ministers of Honorius now did the most unwise thing that they possibly could have done. They dismissed the Gothic and other barbarians officers from their commands, and passed a law that no Arian were in future to be allowed to enter the imperial service. The barbarians troops, who were most of them Arians, and had been devoted to Stilicho, were of course thrown into great excitement by the proof of the ill-will of the government, but at first did not venture to rebel, fearing that the Romans might revenge themselves upon their families. However, the mob of Italian cities, having got to know that heretics and foreigners were now out of favour, rose and murdered the innocent wives and children of the barbarian soldiers, and looted their property. The result was that the thirty thousand men, inflamed with the bitterest hatred, at once deserted from the Roman army and joined that of Alaric.*

Thank you for bringing light on a very underrated, forgotten piece of North African history, Greetings from Tunisia!
Greetings from Transylvania.
I a m Algerian🇩🇿 and I have criticism for this video:
First: The barbarians or Germans were not the only ones who suffered from Rome, but rather most of the peoples of Northern Europe, and they are not brunettes with black hair, as the video shows, but most of them have red hair and white skin.
Second: Rome at this time had distorted Christianity and become pagan. Its dealings were based on plundering the peoples of Africa.
Third: On the other hand, the Vandals condemned Arianism, that is, true Christianity that worships one God.
Fourth: The attack on Rome by the Vandals, Goths, and other Germans at this time was aimed at spreading the true Arisian religion at that time. In addition to rehabilitating Rome's attacks on them and its looting of them, such as its looting of North Africa and minerals.
Also, the method of plundering (and we do not say sabotage because it is a slander against the Almohad Germans) the aggressor civilizations was the method of all ancient wars, regardless of the race of the people.. It is similar to the reaction of revenge.
Finally: History must be neutral, and should not be embellished to serve the interests of certain parties.
The Vandals also went to North Africa. Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and northern Libya, and they mixed with their inhabitants and became Amazigh
It was written in true Christianity that a prophet at the end of time was named Ahmed (meaning Muhammad), and they waited for him, and after the coming of Islam, a group of them went and pledged allegiance to our Messenger Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him...and they became Muslims.💕
Accept my analysis as a specialist in history, an Algerian Amazigh and a mixed ethnicity with a mixture of Germans, Romans, Berbers, and even Arabs. 💕
As someone who has major roots in Britain, I sometimes wonder where exactly my ancestors played a role in history during times like these. Did they interact with any famous people? Did they partake in any wars? Did they join or oppose the Empire of Rome? So many questions and Kings and Generals helps me only imagine what they might've done. Great video!
my family comes from a small town where an ancient Italian tribe the brutii lived, near Lago, Cosenza, Italy, The Bruttians once defeated and killed Alexander I of Epirus (uncle and brother in law of Alexander the great and uncle of Pyrrhus of Epirus) In the battle of Pandosia 331 BC. I am always curious If my ancestors had any part in the battle.
@@v44n7 that is super cool! I am familiar to that part in history.
Likely they would have been a Briton who threw out the Roman magistrates in 410AD, and then suffered in the Adventus Saxonum
As a fellow Englishman, I too find our heritage fascinating, I love how we are basically a Celtic/Germanic hybrid people. Both the Britons and the Anglo Saxons were really fascinating people, and I honestly can't get enough of any information we get on these people (or any people for that matter, I just love history)
I think Julius Caesar was one
Geiserich is one of the most brilliant military leaders and politicians ever. He managed to bring his people from a troubled situation in spain in a land like paradise. He managed to fight off several roman invasions he anticipated.
Original Roman spelling of his name was Genseric, his name is Slavic. Out od 23 Herulian and Vandalic kings 11 had irrefutably Slavic names and 7 probably Slavic but the meaning remains unresolved. One king has a biblical name and one name is unknown.
Geiseric is the Skull Knight from Berserk.
Vandals are originating from part of western Scandinavia. They were from West Sweden and SE Norway. It has something to do with Väner lake region Väner(n) lake's earliest name is *Vendiz "the turner". Then Vandals earliest name becomes logical, VendilaR, "smaller tribe from Väner realm". Some typical looks, that you also find in N Portugal is like Lena Ranehag, Nathalie Hagman, Rebecka Blomqvist, Fridolina Rolfö, Johanna (Gudrun) icelandic singer etc..They certainly all have roots in the Väner lake kingdom *Vendiz...
Hes gangsta till Belisarius ransaking hes hideout..
Geiserich ruled from 428 until 477. Geiserich died in 477. Belisars Invasion took place in 533. So there is no way too proof who was the better General. @@paolocane7403

It would be nice one video about every tribe, visigoths, ostrogoths, suebis, franks
I'm still trying to discover who from Rome took the friendly Chatti and resettled them in "Batavia Island"(central-east Netherlands) where they were called Batavians after that. And when did this happen? The only thing I can find is the Chatti tribe was on the brink of civil war because some members were too friendly with Rome. So the Romans moved the friendly ones to Batavia.
It must have been a very large group because the Batavians provided thousands of troops for the legions over time, especially cavalry.
@Cool Adam no, they are different germanic tribes
Burgundians, Alanni, Alemanni, Batavians, Chatti, Cherusci, Cimbri, Crimean Goths, Lombards, Marcomanni, Teutons, Treveri... so many interesting Germanic tribes during the different centuries of the Roman Empire
@@michelmorio8026 Alani are Alans, an Iranian tribe. And the suebi/suevi and alemanni are not tribes themselves, but confederations/collections of tribes. (the Semnones were one of the most powerful of the Suebi/suevi, and the alemanni emerged from the suebi who didn't migrate to Iberia.)
But yes, the lot of em are very fascinating
most people only remember the ones that created kingdoms
I believe that a remake of the Justinian wars is something needed . Also a video on Nicephorus Phocas and the Komnenian restorations will be also interesting.
@@tornado4708 Agreed, even the Macedonian and Komnenian dynasty has quite a few vids dedicated to them yet we dont hear much about the Isaurian dynasty. I'm very interested to hear how the Romans coped with losing half their empire including their bread basket that is Egypt, the huge threat of an Arab invasion of Constantinople and the constant devastating raids on Anatolia not long after the failed Arab siege of their capital. This period really does feel like a "dark age" for the Eastern Romans with the estimated revenue for the Byzantine government going from an annual revenue of 5 mill to 11.3 mill during the time of Justinian to only around 1.8 mill in 775 (ouch), I hope KNG will cover this topic in the future.
@@ronb7189 For example the Greek states created after 1204 is a interesting topic like the empire of Nicaea, Empire of Trebizond and Epirus . ( The term Greek states is borrowed from Steven Runciman book “ Byzantine culture” published in 1933 page 173 and 175 )
when it comes to the fall of Rome from a strictly military point of view, Alaric and Attila come to mind, but Genseric and his people were the very architects of the fall of the Eternal City.
And the failed Roman counterattack at Cap Bon in 468 pretty much sealed it.
And the ass ton amount of civil wars they just couldn't stop having in Rome
The Vandals were the ultimate adventurer party. They gave no crap where they went and who payed them to go there, as long as there was fun and loot to be had.

It was a pretty quick campaign. I mean it basically lasted a year. Not a whole lot else to cover.
There is a city in Tunisia, a suburb of Tunis, called Ariana (أريانة). The city's name seems to date back to the period of the Vandal Kingdom as the Vandals themselves were of Arian faith.

You should do a video on the effect/reaction to the sack of Rome in 410AD. There are accounts from people such as St Jerome, among others, that show the utter disbelief that Rome itself could fall. Then you had the accounts of refugees arriving in Africa, pagans blaming christianity and christians blaming paganism. What was the impact of the sack on the empire? on the institutions of the empire? on the populace? on the army? It would be a fascinating video.
I've been wondering the exact same thing...
A video on the development of Arian Christianity and its impact of the Germanic Tribes needs to be developed.
Will it include how Arianus got beaten up by Santa Clause?
@@savioblanc Visigoths were actually converted to Catholicism when King Reccerard converted, and so did his noblemen. This put the Hispano-Roman population at ease and made the relationships with the Visigoths and the Catholic Church a lot more bearable.
The caliphate only invaded because the Visigoths had a terrible elected monarchy that brewed corruption and betrayal within its courts. It’s why King Roderick lost at the battle of Guadetale because half his army betrayed him by either fleeing or fighting with the Muslims.

I will say this, as somebody who play barbarian invasions and such and doesn't really know a lot of sources to look up on the barbarian kingdoms that were founded aside from the visigoths in Spain.... I am glad you guys have been covering them
The visigoths were the germanic tribe that stayed their longer (also the Suebi which were a bunch of Germans that moved into the Iberian peninsula that founded a kingdom there until it got conquered and absorbed by the Visigoths.
@@CarvedStones See as somebody whose ancestors came from Spain, I try to delve into Spanish history as much as I can but a lot of times I cannot find good sources...But that's only for Is pre Islamic invasions and post Roman conquest. Everything else like Hapsburg Spain and the Reconquista I'm familiar with
@@johnmorales6281 I would say the Roman conquest is covered in good detail given that they were in direct territorial control with Carthage.
As for pre-Islamic invasion, the Visigoths were actually sadly sandwiched between the Roman rule and the Muslim one sadly, not much is talked about them since they actually didn’t really leave a mark of their own that much, however they were basically the portents of the Spanish monarchy and nobility since they actually established an peninsular unity over all of Iberia. They enforced roman institutions among it too given that they were heavily romanized already, their legacy can still be seen in Spain today with some of the visigothic kings as statues in Madrid and elsewhere and also inside the Spanish language as the first documents were written in visigothic script. There’s also a bunch of Spanish first names last names that directly from gothic too.
I'm from the north west of Tunisia, our region is berber, with the descendants of the vandals mixed with berbers, even their features is still present, colored eyes and blond hair, we have families and tribes known from their blond hair.
it's so great to see a video about the origine of the Vandals who settled in our country "tunisia"
Kazekagie TN
The Vandals stopped to migrate as they discovered Africa, the seashore, the abandonned rich roman villae with piscine. They really loved to stay and enjoy roman lifestyle until Belisarius came took Carthago (that had no defensive towers) and begann to massacrate the Vandals (with the help of the Amazighs )who had lost any gusto for war.
As The king of the Vandals( Genserich ) looted Rome with the consensus of the romans, he voided the imperial thesaurus, and with it ,the tresor of the Tempel of Jesuralem, that was looted by Titus to punish the revolt of the Jews, with the golden menorah.The ship that should have transported this considerable amount of gold and precious stones never reached Cartago. If this shiff was not captured by pirates or had sailed to join the black see, it should still lie on the ground of the thyrrenian mediterranean see between Rome and Cartago.

As someone that taught at the University of Idaho, it's cool to see a different view on the Vandals.
At long last, the fall of Western Rome. I greatly appreciate the level of detail you are providing. This is a great historical story.
I'm from Northern Portugal, ancient Roman Province of Gallaecia. In 409 this was the first of Western Roman Empire's provinces to efectively break out from imperial control, thanks to the Suebi, who came to take the now Portuguese city of Braga ( _Bracara Avgvsta_ ) as capital. That battle mentioned here, the Battle of Nervasos Mountains in 419, would be one of Rome's last battles in the Iberian Peninsula.
The Suebi would yet be humbled in 460 by emperor Majorian's _magister_ _millitum_ Nepotianus in the Battles of _Lvcvs_ _Avgvusti_ and _Scallabis_ , returning to federati status; but we all know how things turned South for Majorian that time, so...
Vandals were just a footnote in History around here - as shown in the video. Suebi Kingdom would endure for one more century, before being conquered by the Visigoths, but still being a relatively autonomous region in the grand scheme of things - something that helped centuries after to be the birthplace of the Reconquista and quickly retaken from Muslim control all the way to the Douro river.
Not to mention their gradual creation of the Gallaecian dialect and the Portuguese language.
@@hoonshiming99 wait the Suebi created the Gallican dialect and Portuguese language?

I a m Algerian🇩🇿 and I have criticism for this video:
First: The barbarians or Germans were not the only ones who suffered from Rome, but rather most of the peoples of Northern Europe, and they are not brunettes with black hair, as the video shows, but most of them have red hair and white skin.
Second: Rome at this time had distorted Christianity and become pagan. Its dealings were based on plundering the peoples of Africa.
Third: On the other hand, the Vandals condemned Arianism, that is, true Christianity that worships one God.
Fourth: The attack on Rome by the Vandals, Goths, and other Germans at this time was aimed at spreading the true Arisian religion at that time. In addition to rehabilitating Rome's attacks on them and its looting of them, such as its looting of North Africa and minerals.
Also, the method of plundering (and we do not say sabotage because it is a slander against the Almohad Germans) the aggressor civilizations was the method of all ancient wars, regardless of the race of the people.. It is similar to the reaction of revenge.
Finally: History must be neutral, and should not be embellished to serve the interests of certain parties.
The Vandals also went to North Africa. Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and northern Libya, and they mixed with their inhabitants and became Amazigh
It was written in true Christianity that a prophet at the end of time was named Ahmed (meaning Muhammad), and they waited for him, and after the coming of Islam, a group of them went and pledged allegiance to our Messenger Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him...and they became Muslims.💕
Accept my analysis as a specialist in history, an Algerian Amazigh and a mixed ethnicity with a mixture of Germans, Romans, Berbers, and even Arabs. 💕
One mistake I noticed is showing appearance of the Huns while Dacia looks like is still Roman on the map. Huns appeared century after Dacia was abandoned.
It was abandoned, but was a buffer state of sorts.
Compliments for your comprehensive and clear presentation of this rather complex issue full of intertwined elements and happenings. Once again, Kings and Generals sheds most interesting light on a major historical development for Europe and countries beyond this continent ! 👍
Thanks for the great quality as always. I can't wait the Magyar episode
The speed you guys put out videos is so darn impressive. I am in awe.
Fun fact: Prokopios wrote in his first book that Vandals was least barbaric then other barbars. Yet we know Vandals as synonym for destruction.
Mongols were the king of destruction and killings.
For religious reasons, Rome was pagan and had distorted Christianity, and the Vandals were monotheistic Arians.

Im so happy you're going back to my favorite time in history. possible Majorian video soon.
The vandals besieged my city hippo regius (Annaba), during the siege, saint Augustine of hippo died. The berbers helped take over the city because of religious difference. Berbers were donatists and arian Christians at the time.
Berbers mostly fled. It was total domination of Germanics vs Romans. Augustine was a trinitarian torturers. Vandals took their capital mostly from bejaia to collo. They named it Gaisland under Gaiseric.
Btw Berbers do not exist as a monolithic group. Even the word Berbers was used by the Greeks first from barabaros. They never evolved into a nation nor had a written language. They called themselves by tribe. Herodotus explain well, the garamentes chawi of today were different from the meshwesh racially and customs.
@graiant Numidian Kingdom mate, And you might want to check who the priest arius Was, saint Augustine, and his mother Monica, who was a saint.
I think the donatists had declined or been reconciled to the church by the time the Vandals took over North Africa.
I ❤ St. Augustine of Hippo. A great early Christian writer and thinker.
It was a perfect storm against the Romans, vandals in Africa and the Huns from Asia. I believe the Romans would have pushed out the vandals with a United front but Atilla made that impossible. Good stuff Kings
The Romans were too busy destroying themselves. That's the death knell of the Roman Empire in a nutshell. If the generals or relatives of emperors weren't so focused on gaining the throne by murder or rebellion the western empire probably would've lasted much longer.
The documentary about Majorian comes closer and closer.
May Ricimer be condemned by the annals of history.
I am tunisian , and there is still in some remote mountains here people with blond hair and blue eyes, who are the remains of the last vandals who escaped to the mountains.
Not all white Amazigh are desandants of the Vandals.
Bullshit, the same in Morocco and every single one of them carry E-m183 and are autosomally wise 0% European.
this channel is so addictive
They not only made their way in rome but also in the vocabulary of many romance languages.
K&G will always have videos on the most interesting , thrilling and enigmatic chapters of history
Recently came across this channel and it’s a just so good. Thanks for creating such amazing productions, people. I can only wonder how you make your maps, I’d love to know.
That's a good question! would love to know too!
For those who didn't catch it at 14:25 the Bishop was referring to St. John's book the Apocalypse when he wrote about the four horsemen. Saying that this period in history was the fulfillment of those passages in scripture.
Vandals are originating from part of western Scandinavia. They were from West Sweden and SE Norway. It has something to do with Väner lake region Väner(n) lake's earliest name. That is *Vendiz "the turner". Then Vandals earliest name becomes logical, VendilaR, "smaller tribe from Väner realm". Some typical looks, that you also find in N Portugal is like Lena Ranehag, Nathalie Hagman, Rebecka Blomqvist, Fridolina Rolfö, Johanna (Gudrun) icelandic singer etc..They certainly all have roots in the Väner lake kingdom *Vendiz...
No, I would say 'turn' ,and this was also the opinion of a sovietic filologist... It has to do with their origin in western Scandinavia and the cultunion around *Vendiz/Väner lake with traditions going back to the bronze-age. And it´s not a coincidence that this is the area that Snorri Sturlason visits 1219-21 before publishing the Edda 1223.. Snorri must have heard about it´s old mythological traditions..@@BrunnCromagnid
Those videos the last days are amazing. Extremely beautifully designed and of course scientifically accurate.
Just out of interest -when the German armies under Irwin Rommell went into Tunisia and Algeria during World War Two,German propaganda stressed the fact that these areas had been occupied by their Germanic cousins thousands of years before.
Fantastic video. Love the new series, zooming in on specific peoples.
Rome's worst enemies weren't the numerous barbarian hordes, but Romans themselves.
Today in my native in danish "Vandal" means both the name of the Vandals or a person who ruthlessly destroys or damages things
same in English
Same in French : « un vandale, vandaliser, vandalisme »
You don't have a "Gothised" or "Hunnised" as descriptive of destructive behaviour despite the Goths and Huns being larger,more powerful and durable than the Vandals but you do have the word "Vandalism" and " Vandalised " to describe destructive behaviour. The Vandals must have been really good at what they did for their reputation to last so long.
Det er ret sandsynligt at proto-vandalerne til dels kom fra Vendsyssel efter som der er ligheder i den materielle kultur og en affolkning af Vendsyssel er sammenfaldende med at vandalerne dukker op i polen. Efterfølgende ser der også ud til at have været en periode med tæt samhandel mellem vendsyssel og vandalerne... Det er vigtigt for mig, fordi jeg dermed kan argumentere for at det var vendelboerne der smadrede rom :)
Det är näst intill universellt, det heter så på nästan alla språk.
Excellent detail. Well told. Got to be a good movie in it.
Cheers for covering the Barbarian tribes of Late Antiquity.Interesting and not as talked about.
I'd love to see a topic covering how these tribes transformed into the settled Fuedal kingdoms.
"Long ago, the Germanic tribes lived in harmony (kinda.) But then everything changed when the Hunic nation attacked."
@Robert Robski ...You seem to be confused about a few things. "Germanic" simply refers to any ethnic group originating from Northern Europe that spoke a Germanic language. Of which the Vandal tribe was indeed one of. It has nothing to do whatsoever with who was ruling.
@Robert Robski *points to the Alani, Hasdingi, and Goths raiding through Roman territory* History would argue otherwise.
@Robert Robski HAHAHAHHAHAH german got mad now for sur

Thanks for all the hard work making these videos. Love your voice and narration.
What a FASCINATING interpretation of the Crossing of the Rhine! I thought I knew much about it (having rewritten and expanded the Wikipedia page about it), but I'm overwhelmed by the level of details you have managed to put into this. I didn't know there was a Vandal incursion into Raetia in 401. Also, unlike virtually all scholars I've read, you place the Vandal-Frankish war (mentioned in the Frigeridus fragment) after the 406/7 Rhine crossing, even arguing the Franks partook in the latter. Scholars generally put this war in 405 or 406 (depending on whether we go along with Kulikowski's chronology, or believe Prosper) on the eastern bank of the Rhine before they crossed. I'm curious how you got to that interpretation, it could explain a lot of questions while raising others.
Also, the fact that Constantius III' rebellion against Honorius was going on in Gaul as late as 409, but that the invading Alans and Germanic tribes mostly stayed in the north during this time, may indeed mean that most of the destruction mentioned by Jerome is therefore misattributed to 'savage [Germanic] tribes' instead of primarily infighting Romans loyal to Honorius or Constantine III. This interpretation is mind-blowing.
Finally, I've never seen such a detailed reconstruction of the years 409-411 in the Iberian peninsula before. There must be an amazing host of surviving sources that I've never heard of before, let alone studied. Most scholars seem to throw their hands into the sky in desperation saying that we don't know what happened in these years because we've got no written texts. Where did you get this from, Matt Hollis? I'm amazed.
Great! Great! Great!
As always this was, an amazing video, my congrats.
I'm looking forward to see a video of yours about the Suebi Kingdom of Gallaecia.
Their crossing of the frozen Rhine and long journey to Iberia evading the Huns is very interesting, as well as the controversial clerical accounts of their arrival.
Goths:*Approaches*
Vandals :And I would roll 500 miles
And I would roll 500 more
Visgoths:*crosses the Pyrenees*
Vandals: That it im aint going no more
Vandals build strong castle in modern day Tripoli during their invasion into North Africa, it's still exists until today and it's called the Red Castell or in Turkish Red Saraya
The Roman:
I came, I saw, I Conquered
The German:
I came, I saw, I Settled Down
Not German Polish 😁😁😁
@@pittnyc1 no the Goths are certainly German
@@zlatni_orao Vandalic was a germanic language... just look at the named Geiserik, King of Spears or Spear king in proto-germanic, Gunderic = Battle king
@@pittnyc1 Ever heard of the great migration? Just because the Goths used to live approximately near the territories of Modern day Poland doesn’t mean their Polish. The great migration drastically changed the population demographics as the Germanic tribes starts to migrate west while the Slavic tribes from the east settled the lands left by them.
@@zlatni_orao Oh most certainly not one tribe, but most Goths are considered "Germanic" or a huge number are for the most part
Very interesting, this is going to be a good series.
I'm a simple Barabarian. I see Vandals, I click.
I was in wait for a long time for Vandal history. Thank you
Episodio sumamente interesante! 👍🏼
PD: Long live Randal the Vandal! (D1 & D2 fans will know 😎).
Love the direction lately
Courageous people those Vandals.
Thanks for the video!

The History of the Vandals is interesting because as the video said they came from Western Europe to the North African coasts! Wow!
Can you tell us about the great war at Sal-river between Goguryeo in Korea and the Sui Dynasty in China, the biggest war in ancient history? It’s a battle that defeated 1.13 million soldiers.
Ty very much I'll search this on internet.
@@alexiachimciuc3199 It's very nice of you
Many people may not know about the ancient history of Korea. It's pretty much more fun than you think.
Goguryeo's ironclad soldiers, Baekje's infantryman, and lastly, Silla's hwarang, who played an active part like bts, are representative attractive parts. This channel seems to be the only part of Korean history that deals with the Imjin War. The Battle of Hansando in this Joseon episode, the Battle of Goguryeo mentioned in the previous comment, and the Battle of Gwiju during the Goryeo Dynasty are the three great wars of Korean history. Looking back, it's all water-related attack strategies.
There are many interesting parts of Korean history, so I ask for your interest.
@@우주-k6y WOW Korea back then was BIG! All the way to Manchuria!
@@alexiachimciuc3199 First of all, thank you for your interest. Goguryeo was quite strong in Northeast Asia at the time. Therefore, China has an ambition to incorporate the Korean Peninsula in the distant future, and is blatantly insisting on China's regional history as a Northeast project based in Manchuria. However, the Three Kingdoms period following the Gojoseon period is a clear history of Korea. The etymology of the name Korea was transformed into a foreign language pronunciation of Goryeo in the process of inheriting Goguryeo. The important part is that the name Goryeo inherited Goguryeo. As such, the history of Korea is clear, but I wanted to protect the historical facts from the blatant Chinese intentions.

I love this kind of history. Thank you for making 👍
The Vandals took the handles.
Fun fact: many Vandals are believed to be of Celtic stock (potentially Noric or Gaulish) as they were first described with a Celtic name. This was most likely due to the Vandals being part of a Celtic tribal confederacy who soon took over as leaders of the tribe, assimilating the Celts into their culture.
I want to see more video's on the so called Barbarians
I am certain that the Barghawata emirate in western Morocco were descendants of the Vandals. This emirate lasted for four centuries beginning in 741. The characteristics that distinguish their bodies and morals are very similar to the Vandal peoples.
Shout out to the OG Vandals! Respect, from a new age Vandal!
Please tell me you’re gonna do the Visigoths, Ostrogoths, and the Franks at least. The Suebi, Burgundians and other Germanic tribes are interesting too and the Mauro-Kingdom in North Africa.
The Visigoths were probably the ones that left a more lasting impact on the Iberian peninsula since their gothic names from their gothic language is still used (although Spanish-ified), they basically are the pioneers of Spanish culture/aristocracy, and initiated the reconquista.
They are grossly overlooked nowadays.
Such a curiosity could not be called Germany: "the request of Gerhard Lawen, who dealt with the genesis of tribal relations in Germany in the 9th century in the East-Franconian state, the margraves of the eastern part bordering the Slavs had the title dux, the same title according to Gerhard of Augsburg in 983-993 The hagiography of Saint Ulrich (Miracula Sancti Oudalrici) had Mieszko I (dux Vandalorum). It was a military title in contrast to the western part of the monarchy where the title was associated with landed estates. In the 10th century the ethnic border between the Slavs and the Germans was the Elbe and Solawa, while the political political of the East German marches reached far east reaching the lines of the lower Oder. In 965 the Lusatian march is ruled by margrave Hodo, known for his battles with the dux Vandalorum (Mieszko I) ".
Although Vandalism brings about negative connotations, their overall course in history was admirable
Roman culture wasn't even about being a "Roman" in terms of a citizen of the city, but it was a euphemism for being a global cultured citizen..It's amazing..even the Ottoman Empire had sultans who fancied themselves "Inheritors of Rome" as well as Russian Emperors who fancied themselves "Restorers of Rome"....Amazing...It's always fascinating when a small population of people like Rome or England can manage to control billions of people. It's like the key to their success is not only strategic political maneuvering, but also selling the idea of you can be one of us too. Very odd and interesting. You could be considered Roman, but actually be Arabic or Greek. "Rome" was just the buzzword or trendy word that represented way more than originating from the city of Rome or being under the Roman Empire's sway. It was like the McDonalds/Wal-Mart/Whole Foods franchise of cultural identity back then..Name-brand like a pair of Jordan sneakers.
Btw, "Tisza" is pronounced as "Tisa". The hungarian S is pronounced as SH, the SZ is pronounced as S. Strange all right, but there you have it...
we have very few resources on the vandals. Thank you for this video
The Vandals are mixed in with the Berbers🤔 The North Africans have German dna in them👍
Zindne zidan
Yes you are right 👍
One of the greatest problems of the Roman Empire was that Rome never developed a lasting system for elevating someone to Emperor that was considered valid and legitimate by the other contenders. Hence there were continual civil wars as the powerful fought it out. This is a large part of the reason that the Roman army was too weak and/or distracted to bring sufficient power against invaders. This occurs several times in this narrative.
