      He only speaks facts. It’s undeniably true that Nazis were pretty bad people. And it’s true that most of them were really evil people. But the Allies were no saints. Bombed cities were thousands of civilians were killed. Raped and murdered children and women. The Second World War was bad on all sides. But the winners write history. And just swept their crimes under the rug and pointed at the Nazis.
      And if there will ever be a third war the winners of that one will probably do the same. War is never good. Atrocities are often committed on all sides.

    really great work! Also that you had the Hanseatic League intus and that many fitting details (which show that you had some more knowledge). You even also named correctly (where most fail) 'Karl der Grosse' (his real name) and not (just) 'Charlemagne' (which was not his true name - just a later localized version from the French - wrongly copy-pasted by the English). Only correction: the Proto-Germanic had its origin NOT in Scandinavia but Northern Germany. ALL of this side of the Kurgan (hypothesis) branch like Proto-Germanic (Northern Germany), Proto-Slavic (between Poland-and more Eastern), Proto-Celtic (Austria/Southern Germany) and Proto-Italic (Hungary) had its origin not far away in what one could describe as Central Europe (most likely due to its geographical interface position). The other branch was in Anatolia (Greeks, Etruscan etc.)

    While I like this series very much, I also noticed some huge mistakes. E.g. just in the Germany clip I noted two of them. Martin Luther wasn't the first successful protestant leader as many people are still thought. 100 year prior to Luther Czech priest and scholar Jan Hus criticized Catholic Church for its corruption. It was the time of three popes claiming the holy office. His and one of his students were burned alive in1415. This sparked Hussite wars were farmers, men, women and children defeated 5 holy crusseids. Most notably under the leadership of old Czech warrior Jan Zizka. Pope had to acknowledge at the end Hussites as legitimate religion. Next mistake is the fact that Hitler annexed Austria and English and French let him to occupy sovereign Bohemia and Moravia hoping to appease the mad idiot. First after that - he and Russians attacked Poland.

    • @valerietaylor9615
      @valerietaylor9615 11 місяців тому

      I have to disagree with your statement about Luther not being the first successful Protestant reformer. While Hus had quite a following, it quickly petered out after his execution. Luther, on the other hand, was backed by most of the German rulers ( who were tired of paying high taxes to Rome.) And the Catholic Church was unable to stem the tide of Protestantism after the invention of the printing press.

      Either by Charlemagne taking on the title "Emperor of the Romans" by the pope in 800 AD (effectively starting the tradition of a German king being crowned emperor); or Otto Ist being crowned emperor in 962 after having defeated the Magyars and taken the kingdom of Italy. The 2nd one would be the clearer starting point although medieval chroniclers would always count Charlemagne as their first emperor.

      It’s far more complex: the flag is not banned, but it can be confiscated by the police in some federal states, if it’s shown during protests in an aggressive way and you also don’t get imprisoned for showing it.
      If the police in Germany would like to punish people that protest against corona rules, they could just enforce the already existing hygiene laws and charge all of them for not wearing masks.

And the name "Odin" is definitely wrong, that is a scandinavian name. The god that is supposed to be Odin in the "south" is Wodan, and for that one we have no evidence prior to the 6th century.
