Thanks for the reaction! But man I need to remake that video at some point to fix some of its mistakes lol.
I hear ya. I look back at stuff I’ve done and think the exact same thing.
You are so cool! You even mentioned the Swedish Deluge, overtaking Poland in 1655-1660 (that was just a blink of blue on the vid, but such an important event for my country's history)! You did an amazing job! Subbing immediately!
@@TheMalcontentPole As a Swedish person I humbly apologize for my country being so damn badass back in the days. And we also did some f-ed up stuff to you guys, sorry...
@@person3538 No worries, it's a history now, to be remembered, sure, but not treated as a way to shame someone. Every country has its share of things done, some of them not very pleasant. Your king, Karl X Gustav saw the opportunity to attack and seize our lands, also thanks to Polish traitors (Radziwill nobles) supporting him and the attack.
@@VloggingThroughHistoryyoure so supportive of smaller channels this is one of the reasons you’re my favorite person on the platform
There's so much happening so quickly, but here I am just appreciating Chris for pronouncing Seleucid properly. The proper pronunciation of Greek names is always my hill to die on for some reason.
I took Koine Greek in college so I try (not always successfully) to get them right.
@@VloggingThroughHistoryyou and I both. In fact, working on my masters and in my 3rd year of Koine Greek
@@HistoryBluff137 I didn't expect many other Grecophiles on a channel that deals mostly with modern history. χαῖρε!
@@TheNeonParadox Ἰδου, και το φιλος θαυμαζε.
Don't take this the wrong way, but I sometimes find it kind of funny when English speakers stress about "correct" Greek pronunciation because it's always going to be an approximation using English phonology, and it seems like vowels don't really matter to them. To me, it doesn't seem too far-fetched to pronounce the C in Seleucid as an S when 1: It's already a Latinisation of the term of 'Seleukides', and English speakers consistently pronounce C's before i and e as S in words of Latin origin ( see Caesar). 2: It's been Anglicised so the Latin ending has been removed from 'Seleucides". 3: The vowels are completely different in the original pronunciation, not to mention the pitch accent and stress which are different, so it seems a bit arbitrary to focus on the C.
I'm not saying that I pronounce Greek words perfectly and better than you. I'm just saying that people from all over the world have pronounced Greek names using their languages' phonologies for centuries and have gotten the point across successfully, so maybe we shouldn't really stress about pronouncing them 'correctly'.
the fun thing with those video is that sometime, you blink and the map just broke and you're like : "hold up ! Is there a cut or what ?" then you realise that, no, it's just empire and all kind of thing changing at incredible speed
12:08 important to note France technically owns the English territory in France. The Angevin Kings are actually vassals of the French King in their territories in France and sovereign in England. The territory "gained" was mostly due to inheritance that originates with the House of Anjou, vassals of France until they became Kings of England. So the king of France had control and did not have control over those territories at the same time.
Then the badass Phillippe II Auguste decided this was not ok. Since he was able to leave early in the crusades he basically steamrolled Angevin domains in France where Richard died trying to stop him.
8:07 There is a UA-cam Channel called Majorianus that did a series of a videos on the late Roman Empire. He has a video explaining how 476 did not really change much in the city of Rome, and that it was the invasion of Italy by the Byzantines seeking to reclaim the area, that destroyed the infrastructure and caused the civic institutions within the city to collapse, which in turn led to the Roman structures falling into ruin.
Hi, Chris, I enjoyed that, it is fascinating to note how quickly things change. Yet another Extra History series to recommend after you've done Frederick the Great, this time its the Forgotten D Day - Operation Avalanche. Part 1 is out and its really good. Congrats on 350K subs, well done.
Hi Chris, love your content! I’ve been following you for a while now and I’ve really enjoyed your progress. Keep it up man! Ohio represent!
In the case of the Angevin empire, I find it always problematic to say that "England ruled" all those parts of France. The King of England ruled those part, but before even being king of England he was already count of Anjou and Duke of Normandy, Britanny and Aquitaine. He ruled those territories as such, and not in the name of England.
It's very different from the situation in the 100 Years War, this time it was conquest. The Angevin empire wasn't the product of conquest.
Yeah, especially by Marriage.
The only conquests were that of 1066 and Anarchy from 1135.
Kings of England of that time were also more french than english. Richard Lionheart spent most of his life in france and spoke some old french dialect. Feodality isn't a system that promote nations, people belong to a land and the land belongs to the person with the corresponding title.
@@tibsky1396 You forgot the conquests of Henry I. When Henry I defeated and captured his elder brother Robert in the battle of Tinchebray (1106), the nature of the relationship between the kingdom of England and the duchy of Normandy reversed. The temporary anomaly of the Duke of Normandy claiming the throne of England (as under William I) ended with William's will splitting the Dukedom of Normandy (inherited by eldest son Robert) and kingdom of England (inherited by second son William Rufus), or when Robert mortgaged his dukedom to William in 1096 (to fund his participation in the First Crusade). So Matilda's claim (inherited by Henry II) is what was invoked in the Angevin conquest of Normandy during the Anarchy in the name of "titles/properties of the king of England", which Henry was fighting on behalf of his mother in the 1140s. Of course there is also the added complexity of "nationalism" fostered by Edward I wasn't there yet so "England ruled those part of France" isn't what contemporaries would think, but "king of England also ruled those parts of France" would (especially after Henry II mortgaged off Aquitaine and locked up his wife).
Atuh-Shei's King Phillips war series is a must see Chris, it's highly informative of an era not taught in American schools.
Great reaction as always! Quiick note regarding the beginning the video. Despite the Brown v Board video not doing as well as other videos, I want to thank you for making the video nonetheless. Of course there are many historians focused on black history, but it is often hard for me as a black man to find people willing take the hit on views in order too spread the knowledge of a very consquential moment in American history. Again, thank you! And I hope to see you do more on civil rights and black history!
Such a nice guy. I’ll absolutely check out Roaming History. Keep being you, dude.
it was a really good insight into the history and honestly many things blew me away Roaming history they had to get my support.
That Roaming History video is well worth it for anyone that skipped it. High quality content.
Hey VTH its worth noting that when we talk about "largest cities" its really hard to measure. How we define a "city" is relatively vague and arbitrary.
So certain cities like St. Petersburg, Moscow and Kyiv are theoretically massive, but how we define it, with or without suburbs, just the city proper etc. is really important. Great video as always even with the added focus on England haha :)
We are certain though that Rome is the largest city for at least 500 hundred years and Constantinople for at least up to 1204.

@@majorianus8055 Cities back then was a lot more defined though, but you are right. For example Rome could be defined by the city walls and surroundings. Today due to urbanisation its a bit more complicated. But you are completely correct was moreso meant for more recent times.
13:30 did you notice The Kalmar Union? Do you have some historical knowledge or opinions about the "united nordic's"? Thank you and this video was awesome, something for every single european viewer!
Nice you are reacting to the every day videos, I love em
I really enjoy these types of videos.
wow crazy, I just saw this video this morning before you uploaded this reaction
I love the history of the world video, done in the same style as this. Same visuals, but a bit more in depth as it goes by year by year
thanks for the vid!
I feel like with a video that is this fast paced and information dense, I'd love to see you play it at like half speed with more frequent pauses. You know, really give it the full VTH treatment. I know you stopped it a few times, and slowed parts of it down a bit, but pretty much every time you tried to give some extra context on something, 8 other interesting things wizzed past that you could've also given a little context on. Basically, I want more Chris in the video. I think this would work better as a 45 minute video, or something like that. Don't know if that would be practical, or if other people would like it more, but that's what I think.
Awesome vid! You were pretty late with announcing the colonization of the new world, LOL, but it moves so quick.
VTH OUT HERE CHANGING LIVES❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Thats amazing
I love how Portugal is just chillin' in the background while shit's going down everywhere else .
This is going to be fun!
Hell yeah!
You know it
oh... i missed this... subscribed NOW! 😉
If you get a chance you should check out Fall of Civilizations.. one episode is about 1 major civilization and they break down how the raised and fell
You should react to the other Roaming History videos!
These maps are always so interesting
What's really interesting is when you watch the Empire of Frankia under Charlemagne split into 3 Kingdoms. W Frankia, Lotharangia in the Middle, E Frankia (Germany).
Lotharangia is basically fought over until the end of WW2. Places like Alsace-Lorrain or Belggium... or even Frederick the great fighting over the middle ground between these two states
Ik that the topics are chosen in Patreon but Chris you gotta make reactions about Hannibal Barca, you almost never covered content about him, history march has a GREAT GREAT GREAT serie about him hope you check it
The topics are very rarely chosen in Patreon. I may be putting vote up once every month or so for one video, otherwise I choose everything myself based on recommendations from people like you.
Great video
I love that you mention Spain as its borders do not change too much and many things are easy to miss. When you mention the collapse of the Califate of Córdoba you mention kingdoms (in Spain at least) they are referred to as Taifas, and only when they are taken over by the catholic kingdoms do their names change to classic western terminology (Duchy, Countess, Principalities...). This is an even more minor thing, but when referring to the Spanish municipality of Toledo you pronounce it very strangely. I know that Toledo is a City in Ohio and the way you pronounce it is the correct way, but the Spanish Toledo has the key difference of the 'e'. In Spanish, the 'e' is pronounced differently (If you are curious, you can put Toledo in google translate and hear the different pronunciations) (And you pronounce León in a more french sounding way, but it is a good pronunciation). All of these things are very minor, and I really liked this video.
nobody else i’d rather get my history reaction content from 😎 going back to catch up on vids ive missed
I don't know if this is something you've done or considered doing before, or even if you would have any interest in doing it. But I would LOVE to watch you play the campaigns in Age of Empires 2.
Hey it always good to help the little guy Roaming History also another Channel like this one you should check out Is called the spread of writing every year from Ollie Bye.
Would you ever do a full breakdown of billy joel-we didn’t start the fire explaining everything said in the song
It's interesting how, compared to other major European powers, just how long it took Spain, Italy, and Germany to properly unify.
Also, fun fact; There was a proposal for the Polish-Lithuanian commonwealth to expand their union to include Muscovy and Ruthenia, which would have been a major historical change. That would be a fun what if scenario.
This is just like a soccer match but with a constantly updating map and a history teacher instead xD
Hey VTH, what are some books that you recommend about the American Civil War?
Chris, I had to rewind a bit on the video to check something. the Date where Persia changes to Macedon is incorrect. Aexander fights the Batte of Granicus in 334BC (that's in what is now northern Turkey). He then does a few siege's before he fights the Battle of Issos in 333BC (Thats in the more southern part of Turkey today). Then for the next couple of years he secures the Mediterranean coastline and Egypt before he turns back towards Persia and fights Darius at Gaugamela and then takes Persepolis in 331. At ths point the Persian king is dead, but when dose his kingdom end.
Is it 331 when Alexander takes Persepolis or when he conquers all the Persian lands in about 328BC when he defeats the last of the Achaemenid army in the kingdom of Bactria (The Iranian/Afghanistan Boarder area), when he them moves on to "India" as the Greeks called the area east of the Persian Empire.
It might sound crazy but I love watching these map videos on 0.25 speed. It’s a lot easier to follow what’s happening
Regarding Bohemia - the map is inaccurate around 11th/12th century... Bohemia had a country independend on Holy Roman Empire (today Germany) - of course Germany had a HUGE influence there and tried to overtake Bohemia.. but we weren't part of it, we had our nobles, some Kings (our first King ruled from 1085 till 1092) and from 1212 Bohemia became kingdom (which is visible on the map)
14:43 As a Scot, bit mistaken to paint the whole of the British Isles as England?! Scotland was still an independent state. 1603 King James VI of Scotland inherited the English Crown and also became King James I of England. The crowns were united under one monarch, but the nation states were independent. The Act of Union wasn't for nearly another hundred years when the United Kingdom became the nation state on 1707.
Are there any movies from WWII you recommend? I've seen Downfall finally, very good.
you know a historian is good when they can make a whole 19 minute analysis video of just a map
You should watch historymarches video about Battle of Catalaunian plains 451 (All parts). Its about massive war between Western roman empire against the huns and is massive for the causes of why western roman empier fell. I really wish you would make a reaction video about it.
you should check out Khey Pard or Danzig HD mapper they make these type of videos
Uhm friendly reminder that Germanic peoples were in fact conquered. People often remember Theutoburg but what they forget is that it was followed by a carpet occupation of Germany by Roman general Germanicus, who then decided to leave the territory and not annex it because it was not interesting as it was poor of resources. But yes, Romans reached all the way to the Elbe river (including a small raid across it, before deciding it was not worth continuing).
19:02 Paris, cordoba and Grenada were also largest cities.
Interesting to see that Spanish cities during some parts of the middle ages were largest cities: cordoba granada
Just a little correction on the Irish kingdoms, in 1014 Ireland defeated the Viking army in the battle of Clontarf and this reestablished the Irish kingdoms to Brian Bru Ard Ri but he was later killed by a viking called Wolf the quarrelsome and most of the Bru family died in the battle but Irish kingdoms ruled Ireland from 1014 until the flight of the earls in 1601. When the O'Neil clann was defeated by Queen Elizabeth the 1st. Love history.
Isn’t it Brian boru?
And I always wanted them to make a movie covering the only high king of Ireland
3:06 I would like to mention that the Thracians (and Dacians) were not Greek people, they were an Indo-European people that no longer exist today, but they left their impact in modern Bulgaria and Romania (and Moldova).
Very cool.
The more I hear Chris talk about Roman history , the more I want him to react to dovahatty’s unbiased history of Rome
I know it's something that is hard to portray in a simplified format like this but, while king Philip II of Spain did inherit the Portuguese throne in 1580, neither he nor his son or grandson ever united the two crowns so, while functionally under Spanish rule, Portugal never stopped being its own kingdom.
So, kings Philip II, Philip III and Philip IV of Spain were simultaneously and respectively kings Philip I, Philip II and Philip III of Portugal.
Hi Chris.
Great video as always. Thank you for your great content and for getting me interested in history. I think it's amazing that you have this lovely community where everyone are kind to eachother, and it's great to be a part of that.
I would also highly recommend that you check out TIKhistory's videos "The REAL Reason why Hitler HAD to start WW2" and The MAIN Reason Why Germany Lost WW2 - OIL". They are realatively long but I would love to hear your thoughts and commentary on what he's saying. Again thank you for your awesome content. Keep it up and have a nice day.
Hey Chris, you should react to "One Interesting Fact About All 49 Vice Presidents" by the UA-cam channel Derek Adam Thomas. It's kind of a follow up video to "One Weird Fact About All 45 Presidents", which you reacted to a couple of years ago, and was also made by the same channel.
You keep suggesting that video, but I don't even see it on his channel. There's one about interesting facts on VPs and there's one about Weird facts for Presidents, but not VPs.
@@VloggingThroughHistory I didn't remember the exact title of the video. Whatever one says something about facts about the vice presidents. I didn't know you saw my other comments, but know that I know you did, I will stop spamming this in every video you upload.
Portugal spends 40% of the video with the same borders basically
I got one issue here. By 850.. Sweden was definitly not an state. In fact.. The area shown on this map at this time was a part of a few smaller kingdoms that towards the end of 900s was unified and then split up again untill the end of the 1100s. Neither was Norway a state at this time.
I mean, it does say Swedish "states" and only Sweden later on.
I don’t think the video was implying it was a state.
@@jokemon9547 Which in fact are an issue in itself. It's like Francia would be labelled as France.
When we talk about Europe's Evolution it changes dramatically from B.C. to A.D. Rome is the main hub for Christian and Orthodox Rise after Roman Empire Split in 363 A.D. When the Turks basically starts the early stages of Ottoman Empire. The 3 faiths of Religious Wars. They also did not talk about The Black Death wiping Europe's Population by a huge sum post Middle Ages. Then The Rise of Colonies in Americas Asia and Africa. Europe played a lot of key events in history.
No comment on the Kalmar Union, Finland being Swedish territory for 400 years, even Norway being in union under Swedish rule for 100 years 😊
I love these videos, I like to use them when I study the Bible. The middle east is a great one and then the history of the world.
Hey I was just wondering if you want to react to how other presidents reacted to Abraham Lincoln death by Resyndicated it's a good video. To learn their feelings to Lincoln to hear their views. This be presidents who were alive when Lincoln was assassinated. Hope you have a wonderful day. This all the history content I love them.
Cordoba, Athens, Granada, Paris all spent a little bit of time as the biggest city.
Great video, but I don’t agree with the analysis around 15:12, where Sweden ”starts going to war with everyone and gets knocked down a peg”. By 1694 the states around the Baltic had fought each other back and forth for the entire 17th century (and well before that), the great northern war was just another conflict in that pattern of events. So no, noone ”started going to war with everyone” by that point.
Also, Sweden was attacked by it’s neighbors in the GNW. That’s not saying they were geopolitic angels themselves, they definantly built their empire with opportunistic aggression (Torstensson’s war for example) but the GNW was started by other states.
The Angevins were technically French who didn't have any allegience to the Capetian House, which corresponds to "France".
Hey VTH, love your videos. Please can you react to the series on CONQUEST OF INDIA by Extra History. As an Indian it is pretty much our modern history.
Bro didn't shout out belisarius, sad noises
10:16 I have to call for a bit of attention to this moment, @Vlogging Through History . That's Kievan Rus'. Whatever modern (and not-so-modern) russians like to say, I can't agree that rf is a heir to Rus' . Ukraine is. I lack knowledge of English to properly stand this point, but I did see enough evidence to convince me.
This is gonna be good!
I always have a hard time thinking of Istanbul as a "european city". In school they always talked about that region as the beginning of Asia and usually referred to it as "the middle east" and i guess its just stuck with me.
It’s a gradient across Eurasia. No real reason to try and categorize everything perfectly
OTTOMAN LAND İSTANBUL BİG POWERFULL CİTY.
Istanbul is a European city. It is just that Turkey is treated as "Middle Eastern country" that is probably confusing you. You just have to apply the same thinking about the Canary Islands (or Melilla or Ceuta) -- Spain is a European country, but these places are geographically classified as African.
The early parts this vid remind of a funny scene from a 1968 movie called Scalp Hunters. Ossie Davis is an escaped slave whose talking to Burt Lancaster about slavery. Ossie says something to the extent of, "We're slaves now but you were slaves first. Caesar went up to England brought all you whites back to the Coliseum and fed you to the lions."
NICE... oh i love history!
Greetings from Germany 😂💪
Man, Arminius really kicked the Roman's out of Germania.

Yes
Hi chris, epic history made a series on Justinian wars of reconquest. I believe everyone would love to see your reaction to these videos. As it’s a part of history which we believe you don’t really focus that much on.
Yh I agree, I think that would be a wonderful reaction
Can you react on history matters why does France have five republics ?
It would be funny if he had every single HRE state, and yes I know this would be stupid and painful but I’d enjoy it.

Just kinda forgets France and Granada were the biggest cities before it went back to Constantinople
Read the historian Timothy Snyder about the History of Ukraine, where there are lectures about Kyivan Rus.
The power that VTH has over the history community lol
You need to watch The History of the World: Every Year.
There was a whole history on the island of Ireland l, that was ignored with 10s of millions of lives that were glossed over
I wonder why the Black history content didn’t do as well as the other content 🤔 love your videos nonetheless I loved the BHM content keep doing an amazing job 🔥
It was Constantinople for 17 centuries.
It has been Istanbul for less than one.
Always keep that in mind.

now react to history of the world every year ;)
Update, they are now over 2300!
Love everything you do! Hope you are having a great day!
Wow, you can really tell that we don't know much about the history of most of Europe before 270, aside from the lands conquered by the Romans. The map is blank on all of Celtic, Germanic, Slavic, etc. parts of the continent because we just know that these peoples were living there, but very little details about borders and kings and such. What little knowledge we have, again, comes from the Romans.
you forgot the time that Paris became the largest city in Europe
👍
10:20 actually the kievan rus is actually Ukraine
