- Without the Roman Empire, the world wouldn't be as we know it. Even it's fall influenced the life of modern-day Europe. In this video, we will explore how European countries formed their borders, who really were the Barbarians and how their confrontation with the Romans helped in the creation of Europe as we know it today.
Information here is highly incorrect. The dates are all mixed up too
clearly, it gives the impression that the cimbri invaded a Roman Empire of 117 AD, under Trajan
not exactly guy most of it is highly reliable
@@amelialavilla6619 Nope. So. much is wrong.

From Font of All Knowledge: barbarian, word derived from the Greek bárbaros, used among the early Greeks to describe all foreigners, including the Romans. The word is probably onomatopoeic in origin, the “bar bar” sound representing the perception by Greeks of languages other than their own. Either ChatGPT or idiot.
@@miyojewoltsnasonth2159 the fact that he said in the video that the Spanish people come from Sweden and when he said Sweden he showed a Island in the Sea, that's why.
@@minetv4001 0:14 The island is Gotland, right?
So the Goths, i.e. the Visigoths?
If so, the Visigoths just _ruled_ over the Spaniards, right? Rather than interbreeding with each other, right? Which is what you need to be an "ancestor," isn't it?
This is far too oversimplified. The Goths the ancestors of the spanish? really so i guess they wiped out the entire native population of Iberia. Simplifying things is fine but this gives the wrong picture of actual history. This example works with every region and people mentioned here.
30000 goths invaded Spain. Simply
3/400.000 godos en una población hispanorromana de 5 millones aprox. Y fundaron la capital de su reino en Toledo.
They where NOT even 5% of the population !
also Spain didnt exist
Según los primeros análisis genéticos realizados en España, a finales de los años 90,el ADN de los españoles no ha sufrido cambios sustanciales en los últimos 4000 años. El Y DNA masculino procede de la estepa, Indoeuropeos R1b. El ADN femenino procede de los "agricultores de Anatolia". Todos los invasores posteriores han sido guerreros masculinos: romanos, godos y moros no han tenido influencia en el ADN mitocondrial, por eso somos una tipologia antigua y estable a pesar de las invasiones
The byzantines were not called Byzantines until much later. They considered themselves the Roman Empire.
yes but they were basically greeks so its unfair and confusing to just call them romans
@@sperdouklikos Unfair and confusing no? lol they were the eastern roman empire what are you on about?
@@nubnubdubdehpolitically they were romans and ethnically they were greek.
They were called Byzantium before the Roman Empire@@nubnubdubdeh
The term is helpful in distinguishing different peoples
Nicely made but some information too rough and some other even wrong. The worst wrong information was that the Goths had not been defeated by the Byzantines, which of course had been the case. When the Lombards came to Italy, they defeated the Byzantines, not the Goths. The Lombards had not at all been "invited" but moved away from the Avars.
Yeah, how he came to that conlusion, any people with good general knowledge on the high middle ages knows about that.
For him the Byzantine just kept giving lands to everybody
It all started when portal from Hyperborea was opened by druids of the night
exactly
And what is Hyperborea and who were the druids of the night ? Don't leave us in the dark !
0:49 The romans called the outsiders barbarians? I don't think so. The term barbarian was WIDELY used by greeks to define anyone NOT speaking the (ancient) greek language a really long time before even the Roman Republic was formed, let alone the Roman Empire...
This.
Corect. Even ancient Greeks called Macedonians barbarians which means foreigners. (non Greeks)
Barbarian...the one who stutter...which means, dont understand what he says...dont speak greek/latin...is a outsider..."the other"...inferior, enemy...
I've read somewhere that the root of "barbarian" is pejorative, to bark, someone who barks. The greek soldiers of the east roman empire used it to describe foreigners, whose language was unintelligible to them.
@@viktvlad Macedonias were Greeks and the rumor that other Greeks called them barbarians comes explicitly from the animosity of Demosthenes of Athens and Philip of Macedon. When Macedonia was about to become the most important Greek state and put all others under them, Demosthenes rallied the populace of Athens against Philip in order not seen them as the promised Panhellenic leader which Philip was presented as. So Demosthenes called Philip a barbaria... This is a political propaganda inside the politics of Gree states. So stop don't repeat modern nonsense used for petty local Balkan propaganda. Alright pal?
I thought Greeks formed word barbarian and Romans adopted it
100% correct. βάρβαρος = βάρ βαρ ος (bar bar + os = masculine noun)
In that, as in a about everything, this is incredibly amateurish.
@@johannesvalterdivizzini1523 Huh?
As a history teacher, I can not accept a lot of the information in this video.
Correct
Stilico moved the capitol not from Rome to Ravenna but from Milan to Ravenna as the western court had already moved away from Rome during the establishment of the tetrarchy in 286 and then was moved to Ravenna in 395
So indeed the Augustus of the West ruled from Mediolanum. But in 312 Constantine, after defeating one of the usurpers, briefly made Rome his capital. After that, he moved it to Constantinople.
@@History_Mapped_Out that may have been so, but Mediolanum had returned as the capital of the middle portion once Constantine had died, and the Empire was split amongst his three sons, and it was his son, Constans I that ruled from Milan, and then the whole of the west after Constantine II died.
The Cimbri invaded with the Teutones 6 decades before Caeser annexed Gaul but you have it Gaul showing Roman Red on your incorrect map.
Yep, a cartographic mistake from our side as the video starts with the events of 109 BC whereas the map is showing the Roman Empire at its peak (116 AD). Thank you for spotting it!
History Mapped < Nobody checked for accuracy before publishing ‽
this is very pro-German centric
"the Huns then brutally executed the King of the Goths"

@@attilatasciko4817 welcome to soulless money grabbers humping AI taking over the internet. If you want to learn things, get books that are 100+ years old.
I want to know, how exactly did the countries form? I mean, exactly. There had to be an agreement at some point. What was that like. Did the heads of each state sit down for a lunch meeting and hash out the details? Did they drink wine and sleep with women during this negotiation? Or did the less powerful one just beg for some land to rule over?
The video is maybe not perfect, but its simply interesting to see the wanderings of the nations and the changes so animated.
One thing disturbs me a little bit. At 00:17:33 the video says, the Magyars came and they called their new country "Hungary". Magyars called their country Magyarország and not Hungary. Only later, English speaking people gave Magyarország the name Hungary.
I would be more bothered by the pronunciation of Mag-ee-ar. Why can't educated people learn how to say these names correctly?

Saying the Europeans are the decedents of barbarians got so many barbaric reactions
The Saxons did not come from Normandy to England
It was shown northern from there.
As a Dutch historian I'm amazed how wrong this video is. I must congratulate the person who got so many mistakes in such a short video. 😢
My Swedish ancestors agree with you.
The ancestors of the Spanish did not come from Sweden. People who contributed a tiny bit to the ancestry of the Spanish came from Sweden. There is a vast difference.
It was a Celtic territory at one time and occupied by Islamic people for over 700 years after being invaded....
@@russelneilv1361
Islamic is not a race . those who invaded spain were mostly germanic vandal and caucasoid ancient north Africans. Like the blonde mummies of canary islands and they were invited by the Arian Christians ostrogoths.
THE NORTH OF SPAIN WASN'T OCCUPIED BY THE ISLAMIC PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY, THE BASQUE REGION.
THE SPANISH DIDN'T COME FROM SWEDEN AND WAS NOT OCCUPIED BY THE VIKINGS, EITHER.
NORTHERN SPAIN ARE MAINLY, CELTIC AND NOT VIKING.
Saying that the Visigoths are the ancestors of the Spanish is a bit reductive
Hey, a bit reductive? No, just wrong, wrong. The Visigoths were just one of MANY groups of peoples that entered the Iberian peninsula.
The Visigoths were Romanized barbarians. They were the founders of Castile and their capitol was Toledo. They completely Latinized during the Arab conquest of Iberia. Moreover, Visigoths were quick to convert to Islam as they were followers of Arianism. Al-Andalusi, was the name Arabs gave to Spain, and Andalusia mean Land of the Vandals. It was the Asturians who were never conquered by the Arabs/Berbers, and they were Celts. It was they who led the longest war in history, the Reconquest of Spain, 800 years. You can also add the 300 years of the Conquest of the Americas.
@@padredemishijos12 "Romanized barbarians" is like saying Anglicized Haitians. Different religion (Arians), different dialect, different laws, different way of life. The estimate is likely 2-10% of the total population of Iberia were actually Germanic Visigoths, which is significantly lower than Franks in Gaul, 20-50%, or Anglo-Saxons in England, where the upper estimates are 80% before the Norman invasion.
@@mihair2854R1b (celts?) is dominant in Spain in similar porcentages to England, around the 70%. Rest is German or viking in GB and semitic in Spain, J1, J2 and E1b
And this doesn't even go into the probably even crazier chaos that was going on in central-eastern Europe.
Where are Tracians,Dacians Avars and many more?
The Thracians and Dacians had already been Latinized and Hellenized in the eastern part of the Roman Empire at that time. Following the invasions, it is highly likely that those who were Latinized in the northern part of the empire (Jireček Line) sought refuge in the Carpathian and Balkan highlands due to their pastoral knowledge, later being referred to as Vlachs. Regarding other populations, you are right, it's a bit general, but I imagine going into too much detail would have made the video very long.
It is a shame that by summarizing so many important groups of people are left out. I have missed the Celts. I know they were already established throughout Western Europe before the Roman Empire, but I would have liked to know more about them in this context.

This is not how the Roman empire fell and its funny how suddenly a mysterios large state called "Byzantine" empire appears in your video without any explanation and how it suddenly changed not just name but also its original color...

@@josejunior6199Continuation of the Roman Empire under Hellenic identity completely disconnected from the western Roman Empire.

@@AKRITAS365 They were still romans
Hi, so the 7 Magyar clans who migrated along with turkic kavars into the lands of the Moravians started to call themselves Hungarians? I don’t think that the Magyars would use the English word Hungarian rather than their own name for themselves. History written in English always gets the names wrong every time, languages are just too hard for islanders!
We just have different names for the countries in english of their own etymologies.
Germany - Deutschland
We call it germany because the Romans called the german lands Germania
A lot of examples is just from name butchering and pronunciation preference. The Romans called Iberia Hispania which morphed into Spain in English. Other cultures (probably all) are guilty of this aswell? The French call “England” Angleterre.
Yep.
We call ourselves Magyarország now or Magyar Királyság (Kingdom) before. Also Osztrák-Magyar Monarchia. :)
What influence did the gepids have? They were living in Pannonia, and then subdued by Avars and Langobards.. Avars then subdued by Magyars.. Gepids originally came from Västergötland, like Timoteij...@@gagszi5850
One reason why Hungarians that came to Sweden had it easy to adapt in the 50ies, often looked people from Götaland... I asked my friend M.Toth, where do you come from? I meant, where in Sweden? He said, Hungary! I was totally astonished... PS There is also a finnish element in swedish population...DS
Even the English in this voiceover is pretty bad (esp. for pronunciation, grammar w incorrect verb tenses).
Yes there are serious inaccuracies in this video, as people mention all over the comments, but that makes the topic so much more graspable than real deep history. I'd tell it in this manner to a beginner, for whom the video apparently is. It's better to create a vague idea of how Europe came to be than to not understand the process at all or giving up while trying. Great video.
rome basically became a patchwork of different barbariab kingdoms who in time became institutionalized hence "creating" europe on the frameworks of the romans
The term "barbarian" was not coined by the Romans but from the Greeks who thought of anyone who did not speak Greek as a barbarian cause their language sounded to them as "bar bar bar"
And then the term Barbarian was adopted by Romans to refer to non-Roman and non-Greek people. Anyway, many Greeks were already given Roman citizenship even before Augustus.
Many of these migrations were mainly just the ruling military class-men. The peasants generally remained, especially the females, and outnumbered the warrior classes which were constantly swapping leadership.
I always have a hard time understanding this topic, specially in the iberic peninsula where im from. Because we barely have germanic dna, how did it work? They just happen to fled the huns and other threats there and then settled with the locals? How was the percentage of germanic compared to them? How far in the roots are they in portuguese dna? in a dna test I get 20% france area, 66 iberia and 6 magrhebi (arab invasion or ancient migration?), but dont know if that refers to much older history migrations, celts or this
Hi, Spanish here. You must take into account that after the events described in this video, the Iberian peninsula was first invaded by Arabians and after that, during the Reconquista, many "empty lands" were populated not only by people from northern Spain but also by the Franks. "Franks" was the generic name given to people from today's France, Netherlands and West Germany. They were offered lands and many families, even whole communities, came here during the end of the Middle Ages.
We can observe this recent population movements in some details:
- the straight north-to-south lines that follow the languages in Spain: Galician language is related to Portuguese, Catalonian is related to Valencian (I don't mean to begin a discussion about whether they must be considered the same thing or not);
- modern genetics have proved that "north-to-south" movements, too;
- about the Franks heritage, I've always found funny that in Spain you can randomly find a lot of people that have northern Europe features. I don't mean only blue eyes or blonde hair, but the shape of the eyes or the shape of the face, that kind of details, specially in Extremadura and some parts of Andalucía. Some famous examples of this are Josefa Flores González (you know, Marisol), Soraya Arnelas, Cardaval brothers (you know, Los Morancos), and many more. I've always assumed they have that recent "Frank" heritage.
@@angelito2144 this makes a lot of sense! Its weird that people would conquer land, and then offer to other to populate xD I understand why, just funny. Basically they just took the opportunity after arabic clearance to make their own Christian kingdoms and most came from central europeu? Makes sense
Another spaniard here. The only true arabian have ever settled in Iberian peninsula was Abdelrraman I, the rest, in VIII th century, north-african berebers, in very few numbers and expeled less than a100 years later by the emirate of Córdoba, and after totally banished by the califate. There were no arabs in Spain. Islamization of Spain was promoted by the visigoth elites which automatically mixed with northafrican generals who took control of the peninsula (all the spanish islamic aristocracy were descendants of Abdelrraman I, who married not a muslim woman, but the grand daughter of the last Visigoth king, Witiza) and converted to Islam in order not to loose their political power and territorial dominance...We must not forget that the Visigoths had only been Roman Catholics for less than a century. Until then they were Arrian Christians, Arrianism being a Christianity that did not admit the Holy Trinity of God, which made it, therefore, very similar to the new Islamic faith. For the Visigoths it was a mere change of name, not a radical change of faith.. We are talking about moments in which Islam had just been born and had not finished being fully formed. The radical differentiation of Islam dates back much later, from the 10th, 11th and 12th centuries with the diverse succession of fundamentalist movements, Shiites, Sunnis, Fatimids, Almohads, Almoravids, etc...
You can see the Germanic influence in Spanish words of Germanic origin such as “hermano” (which btw has the same origin as the word “German”).
@@mikeg2306 not meaning to disrespect, but are you sure about that? a quick search showed me it comes from latin, as most of iberian languages do. It does come from frater germanus (apparently meaning literally full brother or brother of blood), which is similar to germania, but germania was a name given by the romans, not themselves
Whoa, no mentions of Illirians nor Albanians in this video. Someone will be so upset and pissed up 😂😂😂😂
That's because we didn't move around 😉
How did they all get around without cars, trucks and autobahns? Horses or on foot? Amazing!
@@angelito2144 Human beings were already established in Every corner of the Earth except Antarctica tens of thousands of years before horses or carts. On foot or by boat.

Are you re-writing history or what?
Thank god youtube added misinformation reporting. Almost 15 years on youtube and i've only used it twice
The Byzantine is actually Eastern Roman Empire. Byzatine is a Reneissance term. The roman enpire fell in 1453 with the conquest of Constantinople by the Otoman empire. They never called themselfs byzantine, but romans. Towards the end they spoke more greek than latin but still called themselfs roman not byzantine. Only the people from Bizantium(later named Constantinople) called themselfs bizantins, and only while the city was named that.
The Roman Empire did not fall till the 1453
PLEASE REDO THE VIDEO WITH ACCURATE INFO, THE FORMAT IS SO GOOD AND EASY TO UNDERSTAND ❤
There may be inaccuracies in this video, but it shows the chaos of the time very well. Imagine living in this dystopian world.
Meanwhile the Balts: popcorn and chill.
it is not just about the Angels (English) from Danmark, but also the German Saxons that were ruling in Briton
and this is very German centric
"they brutally executed the King of the Goths"
but the Goths didn't brutally execute Sarmatians? Just with hugs and kisses and in the name of love and equality, right?
the dna from Anglo-Saxon is very similar to Danes and Dutch , dna from Northern Germany reads as Dane or Dutch due to the mixing and migration /changing of borders
A bit of research would not harm you! it's INCORRECT!
Only the spaniards of visigoth descent originated from Sweden, native Spaniards are celtiberian and basque heavily influenced by Greek and Roman culture.
Iberians are Italics who colonized the peninsula back in Roman times.
The local Celts were vanquished.
THE NORTHERN SPANIARDS ARE MAINLY, CELTIC, WITH A MIXTURE OF ROMAN. THE CELTIC PEOPLE IN THE NORTH OF SPAIN, DIDN'T JUST DISAPPEARED, FROM THE IBERIAN PENINSULA. THEY STILL EXIST THERE.
NORTHERN IBERIANS ARE NOT JUST ITALIC. THEY ARE MAINLY, CELTIC.
@@RS-ln3ns Well, the celtiberians were there before the greeks and romans, but the basque are even older than that, the basque are the original iberian natives.
@@aserher215 YES, THAT'S RIGHT BUT OTHERS KEEP SAYING THINGS ABOUT SPAIN WHICH ARE INCORRECT, SO I HAVE TO CORRECT THEM. THE BASQUES ALWAYS HAD THEIR OWN CULTURE, AS WELL.
"Magyar people called their country Hungary"
Wrong!
Western nations call it Hungary .
The Magyar call their country ""Magyarország"
Who gives a shit?
The Capital of west Roman Empire After Rome was Milan and After Milan Ravenna .
First seconds "ancestors of spaniards came from sweden". Stopped, commented this, and now i'm leaving.
I agree with what you mean, but the fanny fact is that you have a surname of Visigothic origin. For any person, the ancestor count more than 1000 years ago, is largely more than a million, so it is unlikely for every Spaniard have not "some" Visigoth ancestor. That does not mean retain any DNA of the original swedes, that at the time of Hispania invasion were already very mixed, but it has a grain of truth.
@@nicomedes9555 you say "a grain of truth" sure I might agree, but it's not presented that way in the video. It is implicitly understood that when we say "your ancestors are from X" that means >50%. Saying you have X ancestry when in reality it is less than 1% of DNA is just completely disingenuous. A few surnames does not make an ethnicity.
It’s crazy that we, in our little slice of time, also believe our great civilizations will last for a thousand years. So many things change and will change
This video is accurate! I'm Brazilian from Minas Gerais and my DNA showed a mutation of the CCR5 gene that is only common among Swedes (Suebi tribe). My Brazilian boyfriend also have the same mutation, we are descendent of the Suebi who make the modern Portuguese people you see today.
Jezzusss!! Is there any single accurate data in this video??
Amazing video however there are slight mistakes
For example the Magyars did not name their state Hungary but Magyarország
Basically everyone around them calls them Magyars except for the Germans which call them variations of Hungary and Hungarians which stuck around
I as a Croat call Hungarians as Mađari (or Magyars if you like), also every ex Yugoslav country calls Hungary as Mađarska :) btw I love my neighbors :)
Ottoman, Turkish, Turkey, Türkiye, Turcia
Germany, Deutschland, Germania, Nemti
Romania, Roumania, România, Románia
Italia, Italy
Grecia, Greece, Hellas, Hellenic Republic
Every country can use their name as they wish, but they cannot force a change of English or any other language of the name of the country, based on their fancy language.
Will be funny to see and force a name change across all languages to Németország instead of Deutschland (german language) or Germany (english) 🙂
In Polish:
Germany = Niemcy (simple translation, those who can't speak 😂 )
Hungary = Węgry (no idea why).
Italy = Włochy (no idea why)
Other countries names are similar to engilosh version. Example:
France = Francja
England = Anglia
Danemark = Dania
Portugal = Portugalia
Holland = Holandia
Etc
Excellent video, the visuals are great! Thank you
Absolutely a perfect introduction to this important but mostly unknown period possibly due to its complexity. Great intro
No. Not perfect.
@@SeventhSaucer perfect introduction. that's the context
Nice depiction but many historical errors. Roman Empire didn't fall officially in 476 AD. Western Roman Empire only fell. Roman empire finally fell in 1453. Also the Byzantines or better call them Eastern Romans had a tough time but eventually defeated the Ostrogoths and didn't invite the Lombards to defeat the Ostrogoths.
Yes, and in fact what modern scholar now refer to as the Byzantine Empire was still called Roman Empire by the inhabitants of that era. I mean, the people living in the so called Byzantine Empire considered themselves and called themselves Roman.
The Angles came from modern day Germany as did the Saxons. The Jutes came from modern day Denmark
Angles came from Schleswig Holstein (nowadays southwest Denmark and Northwest Germany)
The words "angles, Saxons and Jutes" mean nothing. These words described confederations of tribes who themselves were a conglomerate of different group of people from diverse origin. Nobody knows where these people came from and their different journeys. It is just a recent written myth.
@@antoinemozart243 Genetic tests and historical linguistics tell a different story.
@@karlkarlos3545 Genetic tests are scam. They have been tested several times on monozygotic twins and have a different result. 😅😅 Language is just culture. When a different ethnic group meddled with another powerful one they immediately adopted the culture ( language, religion). These people were quite isolated and only encountered others by war, immi or emigration. Read historians.
@@antoinemozart243You are being reductive. While it is obviously unknown who led what group of settlers and invaders, it is not unknown what the general trend was and where those people came from
They were Germanic people from what is now Northern Germany and Western Denmark (though it wouldn’t have been either back then)
I dont quite understand how army movements correlate with settlement of areas. For example, the video states that after defeat in Galia those armies took sanctuary in Spain and turned into Alani, Suebi and other tribes. Were the armies marching with all their women and children?
Yes, they really did. In these tribes the armies were followed by long columns of wagons with food, women, children, craftsmen, and even merchants. A similar picture with the armies of different countries could be seen in history until the 17th century, until the rulers directly began to forbid keeping women and children in the army.
In most cases, yes. These weren't just armies, but entire tribes with their families and all their livestock and belongings. At this time in history many Germanic tribes were on the run from famine, rival tribes or steppe nomads which caused displacement of entire peoples. They needed to lay claim to a new homeland or die trying.
Yeah they were, In fact in Spain most women, children and common men settled in "Tierra de Campos" (Look it up in English wiki) or _Gothic Plains_ as it was known before, a fertile land in north-central spain (Castile-Leon) while the Visigothic Elites and Aristocracy settled mostly in cities.
There was another model from earlier times, when hordes of young men would set off to conquer and pillage, taking the spoils with them although not necessarily occuping the area. But some of them also stayed around to establish a seat of power, eliminating most of the men and marrying the daughters of local leaders to establish loyalties. I believe both the celtic and germanic branches of the steppe nomade had such migration behaviors.
The ancestors of the English weren't Danish or far from exclusively. All parts of the now UK were already populated and established for 1000s of years, then came the Romans and then they left, then the Angles, Saxons, and a handful of Jutes, THEN came the Danes and Norweigans with a centuries later follow up of francized Northmen. Now we just get endless boatloads of Africans and Asians like the rest of Europe.
interesting how the modern migrants could simply walk across (under) the english channel these days...
the Angles and Jutes also came from Denmark, dna show Anglo-Saxon dna is very similar to modern day Danes and Dutch , and indistinguishable from Danish Vikings , same people diff. tribes, as the Danish historian Saxo wrote 1160-1200 AC "the Danes, Angles, Jutes and Teutons are brothers" that said I agree there are much more to the British than dna from those Germanic tribes
"Yamabushido" a so called Englishman larping as a Japanese? Lmfao.
Who were the Vandals? Were they responsible for the word, "vandalism?"
Yes, the vandals were specially known for their cruelty and power of destruction, that's how they gave name to the act of randomly destroying something. As a fun fact, this old power of destruction and the search of more room were core concepts of the n4z¡s. Basically they wanted to "reboot" the history of Europe to the time in which barbarians (e. g. the vandals) were not constrained by modern laws and religions and they could take anything by the force and exterminate whoever they didn't like. There were even attempts to reactivate the cult of the Germanic gods. This "reboot", as everybody knows, ended up with some 50 million deaths just in Europe. Crazy but true.
yes
Yes and the word thug comes from the Indian (continental) thugee both refer to lawless robbers
3:00 that wasn't the first time Germanics were settled in Roman lands. Caesar's conquests in Gaul ~60-50BC showed us this. There were many, many Germanic tribes living west of the Rhine, and there were many many more tribes who moved from east to west of the Rhine to join the newly emerging Empire (from the ashes of the Republic) post Gallic Wars and assimilate into the much more powerful and orderly Roman culture long before the Marcomannia.
While there are some inaccuracies, its a good reminder that the idea that some particular people or another "stole" land from another, is nothing but splitting hairs over some particular era in history. Taking land has been the norm of history.
The graphics are very cool, and I like the concept, but... that's not quite what I was taught and learned from books.
Germanic and German should not be used interchangeable, it's two different things. And the migration and locations of the different tribes... there are more tribes and some things therefore rather amiss, shortcuts turning it inaccurate. And there are some rather important details, that might be able to change the viewpoint and the narrative:
Like Theoderic the Great being raised at the emperial court and an eastern-roman officer SENT by the emperor to get rid of Oduacer. Theoderic the Great might not have been aware he would be considered a barbarian, afterwards. He certainly primarily thought, as a magister militum he was a Roman officer, that perchance also was a member of the Amal-Clan, and could use his relationship to their royal line to lead the Goths as a sort of 'private army' into battle - to the purpose of his emperial fostering sister's husband.
AND you left out the major role christianity played in it. Along the limes the 'western roman state' was still run by bishops as a sort of theocracy. These bishops presiding over a staff of religious state administrators, that often were organized in religious monkish (and therefore non-self-procreating) orders, and always ready to mission their barbaric 'foreigh mercenaries' were still answerable to their pontifex-maximus (after all a former religious imperial office) in Rome.
The video is obviously great and well-edited, and it shows how European nations formed, but why not clarify Byzantium was just the Roman Empire and why suggest the whole Roman Empire fell in 476?
Byzantium was not the Roman Empire. It was rather a succesor Roman state that spoke greek.
a successor state is a different state, the eastern roman empire was the same state with the same linage of emperors that lost the western parts of its empire@@Alejojojo6
In 476, the army and administration still spoke Latin. Every neighbouring state saw it as such and referred to it as the Roman Empire. When the Ostrogoths conquered Italy, they declared themselves Roman vassals as a result. The name Byzantium was never used by anyone until after it fell one thousand years later, and it only makes sense anyway after the Muslim conquest when the Roman Empire was confined to Greece and Anatolia only. @Alejojojo6
The Byzantine Empire originated from the Greek city Byzantium .
It was based on the Hellenic culture, language,and Greek Orthodox religion.
Rome was an enemy of Byzantium the reason why they never came to.the rescue of Constantinople.
In 1453 during the siege by the Ottoman savages.
@@Basil-HDIf it was the same state they would've spoken the same Latino language. But they didn't because the were originally ionians Hellenic people who spoke Greek and not the Latino language of the west.
It's incorrect not the Romans but the Greeks call all population non Greek or which not have Greek language culture or heritage as Barbarian
Spain didn't exist when the Visigoths went to the Iberian Peninsula, it was a region of The Roman empire called Hispania. Only many centuries later in 1490 with the unification of most catholic kingdoms in the Iberian Peninsula is when Spain started, using a name inspired by what the Romans called their province Hispania. With this being said, there's a common misconception I want to clear up.
Spain (a kingdom founded in around 1490) is not the same as Hispania (Province of the Roman Empire) in between both many different kingdoms and civilizations existed.
So much stuff is wrong.
Yep Everything is oversimplified the border, the time, and the most important no a.c but b.c
@@igoradamjankowski7705 saying the spaniards come from sweden was legit hilarious
@@BlizzyBlake1185 No it wasnt hilarious... Its true. Ever heard the surnames Fernandez, Gonzalez, Rodrigo, Ramirez etc? Well... the ending -ez is a Goth Germanic ending meaning "Son of", and it was because the Visigoth ruled all of Iberia (Hispania) for 2 centuries, and after the Arab conquest, the Reconquista even existed as a will to "recreate" that kingdom. Also Pelagus was a Visigothic King that created the Kingdom of Asturias, the ancestor of modern Spain (And portugal in a way).
Also Spain had 5 million people, and Visigoths were 200 000 that's about 5% of the population. It means that today about 10 million spaniards out of 45 million have a distant Gothic ancestor. I myself look Norwegian (Im always mistaken as such) and I am Spaniard 100%. Guess what? My family origins date to a town where Visigoths heavily settled. Even the local Hermit was built by them.
@BlizzyBlake1185 so, you mean that visigoths didn't migrate from Scandinavia?
@Alejojojo6 they would be diluted into the hispano romano population. They maybe have the name but in no meaningful way do they maintain their "swedish heritage"
yeah, you started pretty badly. Most of the ancestors of brits, spaniards etc already lived there, the invaders were a small % of the populations they conquered.
It's a good thing I had put down my drink before I started the video, otherwise I would have sprayed water all over the dog in my lap when they said that the swedes were the ancestors of the Spanish .
fabulous illustration ! make another for the rise and fall of byzantine empire too!
I like how this is referred to as the "migration period" but when Europeans moved to the New World, it's referred to as "stealing native land".
Lol so true. Also the exact same thing happened. Slavery, massive wars. Either way it was wrong.
You failed to mention the Edgar Allan Poe Goths
Do you have anything on Great Croatia (Velikaya Horvatiya) and later White Croatia!?!!!
haven't planned a video like this yet, but I'll look into it
@@History_Mapped_Out Check out book •VELIKAYA HORVATIYA• (Great Croatia) by Aleksander Mayorov
for reference.

I echo what other comments have said, but I like the design, model and flow. Just change the music!
Most excellent presentation. Thanks much.
Great video. I wish you didnt use the term "Byzantine". Its the Eastern Roman Empire.
thanks for your comment
Avars completely left out.
Are you sure about that?
The people of Illyria and so on whom were displaced and forced to speak different slavic languages the migrations displaced a lot of people and their languages and sadly it invited turks to exist outside of central asia
Goths were not Slavs and in fact didn't really enter Europe until around 900 AD or am I wrong on this?
It is called the "Βαρβαρικές Εισβολές" Barbaric invasions.
Barbaric.....is quite right, seems as though Barbarianism is written in there 'DNA'!
This whole video just goes to show how little the maker actually understands history. You just cant make this kind of statements. Macromannis for example arent GERMANS but Germanic. For example - Goths are also Germannic but he wouldn't call them Germans since they came from Gotland, which is nowadays Sweden. German, like many other nationalities, is an natio-ethnic consept. I understand that the video maker wants to use consepts and terms that are easy to understand and common for people who dont maybe know history but streamliness like this is super dangerous .
Unfortunately, our team of historians lacks a linguist to spot the difference, so we indeed could make a mistake there 🤷♂
@@History_Mapped_Out man, donnt worry, good job. you packed crapton of chaos of few hundred years into 13 minutes. we can make do without explanation of deep antropology and shift of cultures and ethnicities within this. Good job. I'd check this video out every time i want to remind myself more or less the order of things
Swedish, German, etc are all modern concept. He says all the time "Germanic tribes" but there is a link between modern Goths Island inhabitants and Spaniards, since people from the island settled and reproduce to the modern day in Spain and those left in the island reproduce until today and are Swedish.
Thumbnail looks like your average game of Kaisereich
If one rally wants to answer the question "how Europe was born" needs to start with Lepenski Vir and Vinca/Starcevo cultures, 7000-8000y old, mostly on the territory of today's Serbia.
Byzantines didnt just suddenly appear. Thats the eastern half of the romN empire, survived after a fashion for almost 1000 years
it's just a name, dummy
Greeks said "PAS MI ELLIN VARVAROS" not the Romans "historian" boy
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Excellent channel

Keep at it
It is a misnomer to call “Germans” the ancient peoples of the land the Romans called “Germania”, a name invented by Julius Caesar for political reasons at home. As was the case in those times, each tribe had a strong identity of its own and had no notion of being “germanic”. On the other hand, they did share dialects that were very close to each other (proto-germanic) as well as a common religion. The term “German” can only really be used after around 1870, when Otto von Bismarck united many of the German-speaking states into Prussia, which would later be assimilated to “Germany”. In antiquity, “germanic tribes” or “germanic nations” would be a better name for these fiercely independent peoples. - The same can be said of the Slavic tribes they before they formed the various Slavic nations we know today.
This was made and narrated by A.I. I'd set my watch and warrant on it.
The internet was mostly regurgitated trash already, now it's regurgitated trash that people can't even be bothered to make. Get a library of 100+ year old books if you can afford it and want to learn actually.
Magyars named their land "Hungary" : )))))
😜
It's amazing how many tribes were here and there
Muito bom! É uma pena que esse canal tenha poucas visualizações, os vídeos são muito bons, a edição, narração assuntos é quase perfeito. 👍
Becareful it is mostly innacurate and misleading, especially after the fall of the Western Roman Empire
East Roman Empire not "Byzantium"(a name invented by Westerners)!!!
it's not an invention, the capital literally had this name.
Byzantium is most probably a word of Thracian origin, a people indigenous to the region.
Hun Enpire broke into Avar Khanate and what would later be called Old Great Bulgaria. Bulgarians are not Turkic, but the first slavic people to form a kingdom, invented Cyrillic and gave the culture to all Eastern Europe, also perhaps the first Christians in Europe (alongside the Romans). The Bulgarian Tsar (Emperor) Simeon is the first ruler in the world the Romans bestowed the title to, coming from Caesar, then to be spread to all Eastern Europe with the language and culture. Old church slavonic is old bulgarian, as the bulgarian church is the first slavic church, and also the patron saints of other nations came to study in Veliko Turnovo to spread the alphabet and religion to their kingdoms. Given these, and that that Bulgaria is the oldest country in Europe, it is not small details to be overlooked, amidst the other generalisations in this video. You’re welcome :)
The word Bulgaria as such is clearly of Turkic origin, one of the most straightforward etymologies there is. Nobody but nationalist Bulgarians disputes the fact that they are the product of assimilated Turkic tribes.
It's kinda crazy how most of western Europe side of italy (and scotland and ireland) are all Germanic kingdoms of some sort, and it extended into North Africa
Incorrect information
The topic addressed is much too complex to clarify the events, but as a start it is quite good.
This is a very simple but clear perspective on a period of history. This would be good for a middle school history lesson.
No, this would not be a good video for a middle school history lesson as there are a lot of significant errors with it.
For example at the beginning when it's showing the Cimbri invading just before 100 BCE, it's showing the Roman borders from more than 200 years later at it's height in 117 CE. Rome had yet to conquer Gaul when the Cimbri invaded.
This nice work ........ Shows us how Center & Eastern Europe people have had a huge impact on Western Europe.............. Major threat to Roma many many times
The "Byzantines" DID defeat the Ostrogoths.
9:30 you say the jutes and angles “swam” to England???
they did, what you think they used boats?
Except the fact that Serbs (and most other "Yugoslavs") are only about 30% Slavic. The most dominant haplogroup present among them is L2A, meaning they are mostly Proto-Europeans dating back to Vinča and Starčevo cultures.
Don't read fake news. 80% of serbs are related to Iranians mostly mix of roma, sinti. only 9% of sorbs are yellowish from poland. native Europeans must be very white. serbian is similar to Sanskrit
Slavic people are part of the Proto Europeans, so I'm not sure what your point is.
Ancestors of Serbs are Croats, only when Serbs took ortodoxy instead of catolicism that Serbs gain some identity. Othervise just an offshoot of Croatian branch.
@@user-uw2gn5dp2i nope. They are originally from Eastern Germany. They're related to the Sorbs, a Slavic people who still exist.
@@user-kb5py3hm2e Slavs are Proto-Indo-Europeans, it’s not the same thing

I agree. I found this channel, lost it, furiously tried to find it, finally did. I'm glad I did
Now I understand more about European history
This is totally wrong.
Very interesting, it’s high level but it is not wrong. Just notice that the Catalaunic fields are in northeast France (Champagne) and the Burgundians were coming from the island of Bornholm. So most of the northern barbarians were Scandinavians.
fun fact, the Romans "byzantines" incorrectly assign the assumption that Croats were ethnically Slavic Speaking Goths.
It is correct though
@@angelina6543 I've checked a few Croatian genetic articles. They're mostly illyrian and Slavic. Germanic dna Is I guess 15% from the Heruli.
