On this map, the entire Netherlands are shown to be Protestant. That is incorrect. The two southern provinces Limburg and Northern Brabant are to this day predominantly Catholic. The other southern province of Zeeland is indeed Protestant
Another problem with the video is that it shows the areas controlled by the Germanic kingdoms during the late Roman Empire and Dark Ages as totally Arian (1:58). The Roman populations under the Germanic rule were Nicene. So the areas shown as Arian really should be striped and not totally colored as Arian. Plus, not everyone in Mauritania and Africa were Donatist. These areas should also be striped and not colored solidly Donatist (1:58). Plus there should be some reference to Gnostic Christianity which was very strong in Egypt during the late Roman period and the Dark Ages. The Cathars should also be mentioned. They were very strong in southern France during the early Crusade period (4:30). They also were fairly strong in the Rhineland.

The “Celtic Church “ thing is completely wrong IMO. Ireland and Scotland didn’t have a church called like that , they were Catholics under the authority of the Pope like the rest of Western European nations. Some historians use the term “Celtic Christianity “ because they had some particular traditions and customs not seen in other regions of Europe , but they were still Catholics in communion with the Holy See.
I agree, but I believe what the video is referring to "churches" before the 1000s are a mix of communions, creeds and traditions or rites. Examples of the creed-based categories are Nicene Christianity, Monophysite, Arianism. Armenian Apostolic also had a different creed. Rites include Latin, Greek, Celtic. Later on do we only see the relevance of communions, wherein we see the different rites becoming "stricter" in delineating what constitutes their Church.
Jino DMC that’s a good observation. The “Celts” were not alone however in having some differences with other Latin Christians. In Spain you had the Mozarabic rite , in northern Italy the Ambrosian rite , etc. This is indeed a complex and fascinating subject.
Catholicism appeared as therm after the great schism, so more than 500 years after the foundation of the Celtic church. Its is called thus cause of the people that were part of it, as opposed to the Anglo-Saxon invaders who were initially Pagan.

Karen ‘Tehcir Law’ happened (meaning “Deportation” in Ottoman Turkish). Which allowed muslim Turks and Kurds to deport all Armenians who inhabited Anatolia to the Middle East and surrounding areas, in response to the countless of Armenian revolts started in late 19th century which killed hundreds of thousands of civilians (most of them being muslim Kurds). During the Caucasus campaign alone for example, over 150.000 Turks and other Muslims were massacred by Armenian volunteer units. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tehcir_Law en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caucasus_campaign According to the Ottoman census of 1914 (with help of France), roughly 1.1 million Armenians lived in Anatolia. 99% of them were forcibly deported, many died on the way and others got rounded up and executed by Ottoman officials. Many of them got charged for their crimes but others got away with it by fleeing to other countries. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_the_Ottoman_Empire#/media/File%3AProportions_des_populations_en_Asie_Mineure_statistique_officielle_d1914.png Turkey says that 600.000 Armenians were killed directly (by executions) or indirectly (dying of thirst during deportation) and roughly half a million made it out alive, outside of Ottoman territory. That’s why today, there are alot of Armenians living at the Syrian/Turkish border. Turkey sees these events as an “ethnic cleansing by forced deportation” and not by genocide. But the main reason why Turkey denies it, is because they don’t want to accept the biased view of these events and rather wants all historical facts to be put on table. Each story has 2 sides. Turks and Kurds killed hundreds of thousands of Armenians. That’s true (even Turkey acknowledges it) but Armenians were not angels as they portray themselves and have been responsible for hundreds of thousands of civilian casualties as well. Since 2002, Turkey expressed multiple times that Turkey would acknowledge the mass killings of up to 1.5 million Armenians during World War I as genocide ONLY after a thorough investigation by a joint Turkish-Armenian commission consisting of historians, archaeologists, political scientists and other experts.

That is quite a liberal estimate. The real number is suspected to be around 25%, although I think that the overall percentage is supposed to increase as time goes on. This is down from the 85-90% in 1920, when the state was created as a refuge for middle eastern Christians by France. Also, it’s Catholic. The Maronites are part of the West Syriac Rite of the Eastern Catholic Church.
Christianity was in Armenia way before, when runaway Christians from Rome brought the faith into Armenian Highlands, particularly Apostol Thaddeus, who laid the foundations, why the church is called Apostolic. Long after Gregory the Illuminator, now excepted Saint by the Vatican, founded the doctrine. The site of the first church/ cathedral was God sent according to the tradition, construction was finished, and the cathedral had the first formal mass in 301. The cathedral is the Holly Chair of all Armenians, St Echmiadzin, the Catholicosate and Seminary, the center of faith and culture for over 1723 years, with only minor repairs surviving wars, earthquakes, even Soviet domination.

Great video. Greek Orthodoxy also has a great presence in the Levant alongside Syriac Christianity. As a matter of fact, Greek Orthodox is the majority Church for Christians in the Levant, not the native Syrian Church.

Another term used for its adherents is “Orthodox Melkites”, which referred to the natives as Aramaic-speaking loyalists to the Byzantine King.

Good job with the map, anyways I want to point out Latvia. First of all during the reformation the relligious freedom was declared allready in 1525 a victory for Lutherans, the same year Prussia became a secular country. Plus the center of Lutherism in Livonia was Riga not Tallinn. Second of all and most importantly Courland was a Lutheran stronghold ever since reformation with a Catholic minority living there. Latgale on the other hand, after it was incorporated in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth has been a Catholic stronghold. Still being the worlds northernmost Catholic region. Still there's a considerable Orthodox and even more interestingly Old believers minority. In Vidzeme since it's incorporation into Sweden in 1629, we can't even talk about an Catholic minority, Cathols and everyone else not Orthodox Lutheran were banished from Vidzeme.

Nice video, as always. Well aware it's difficult to take everything into acount, but in the 9th century, Chriastianity should be pushed quite eastward in Central Europe. We have written accounts that there was a church consecrated for Pribina in Nitra (Slovakia). Soon after there are reports of conversions and archeological evidence for churches around Pannonia, Moravia, western Austria and western/central Slovakia. Not to mention st. Cyril and Methodius mission in Great Moravia. Little known fun fact - at least one of the old Great Moravian churches from 9th century still stands in Slovakia, basically without any great change from it's original form. It lies close to the border with Czechia in Kopčany (church of saint Margaret of Antioch).
Great video! I understand it is difficult to include that, but the christianity of Romanians coincides with their ethnogenesis. The Romanians appeared as a Christian people from their beginnings (late antiquity) as proven by the basic church vocabulary inherited from Latin which sometimes is slightly different from Western Romance. Because christianity is an organized religion with a church, bishops, priests it might have had a very important contribution (besides language) to the cohesion of the Proto-Romanians and to the formation of a (proto-)Romanian identity as opposed to the Slavs around who became Christian (much) later. Even if Romanians during the Middle Ages adopted the Orthodox rite through Old Church Slavonic, this language was not at all understood by the people so the Bible and other books were translated into Romanian (16 century). While the Romanian language adopted some specific terms related to the Orthodox rite from Old Church Slavonic and Greek, the basic Latin church vocabulary remained intact.

@George Nathanael They still are a minority compared to the majority of the Bosnian Church before the Ottomans.(although the later kings and high ranking people were catholic due to pressure from the Vatican and also the crusade in 1235 and constant persecution of Bosnian Church members(similar and influenced by bogomils from Bulgaria) as they were considered heretics) So, indeed, most Bosniaks(in Bosnia, Croatia, Serbia and Montenegro; the Kingdom of Bosnia encompassed also Dalmatia and western parts of Serbia and Montenegro along the modern border before the Ottomans came; a good part of Sandžak was, turkish croatia is in Bosnia and is called Bosanska Krajina, although mentioned in some old documents as such) are descendants of those same persecuted Bosnian Church members. In addition, during the Ottoman conquest of the Balkans and Hungary in late 15th to 17th centuries, many Bosniaks moved to those newly conquered lands to be landlords initially by the order of the sultan, because of lack of native converts to Islam and the speed of the conquest to have the land secured. So Bosniaks actually moved outwards in that period, no doubt a lot of Croats and Hungarians have Bosnian roots due to that. Need I say how many Croats are Croatianized Italians, Hungarians, Czechs, etc.(from the Habsburg period and before) or how many Serbs are Serbianized Bulgarians(along the border), Vlachs, Bosniaks(due to persecution in 19th and 20th centuries), whose asimilation was even easier and more likely due to having the same religion and sect or by having the process being forced under threat of death and ethnic cleansing(in case of Bosniaks)?

The Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox Churches ("Monophysite" which for some reason you split among Armenian, Syriac, Coptic, and Abyssinian), and the Church of the East (Assyrian/Nestorian) are all part of Nicene Christianity. The Assyrian Church left in 431 after Ephesus and the Oriental Churches left in 451 after Chalcedon. So the timeline there is a little off. *Also in 451 the Armenian Church didn't actually end communion with the rest of Chalcedonian Christianity since it was preoccupied with the Battle of Avarayr. It rejected the Council of Chalcedon in 506 and then officially broke off relations in 609. **Also showing Mesopotamia as striped is pretty off since Edessa and the former Kingdom of Osroene were Christian strongholds. With Edessa (modern-day Urfa) being 1/3 Christian until World War One...Also Tur Abdin (around Mardin) with a huge Syriac Orthodox population existed as an entity until then with pickets still remaining till this day.

Second, if its the case of distinct national identities, then why are the Eastern Orthodox shown as a monolithic group when they're clearly national churches as well.... it just doesn't make sense to me.
I mean they were originally monophysite but yeah, oriental orthodox I actually don't know, but I assume a lot of it has to do with being under Islamic occupation, they tend to have less of a unified identity and more of a nationalistic sense than the Eastern orthodox countries.
In 1054 AD Europe had the religious "Great Schism", so in the Balkans the border between the Roman Catholic world and Orthodox world was the river Drina. So the map on display here at 4:20 is incorrect. The Roman Catholic border would have been further east. The religious border in the Balkans was also the old internal Roman Empire border between West & East parts of the Roman Empire.

The first Christian kindom after Roman Impire fall was the suevic kindom of Galicia (448-470). In aprox. 470 Galicia convert himself to arianism under visigothic threat, and return to catholicism in 550 being bishop of Braga Martin of Dume. In 585 Galicia was conquired by visigothics but in 589 the visigoths convert them to catholicism under galician influence. Galicia was the second kindom to adopt christianity after Arménia and the first after the Roman Empire fall. The Celtic Christianity existed in north os suevic Galicia (today north of Galicia and Astúrias) brought by the Bretons who escaped from the Saxon invasions lidered by the Bishop Mailoc. That Celtic Christianity lasted from the 6th century to the 8th century.

Bulgaria has its own independent church from the 9th century till this day. We gave the russians their modern understanding of christianity and a little known fact is that in Russia the church prayers are furst read in old Bulgarian and after that in Russian. Another fun fact is that King Boris the first of Bulgaria is a saint in all forms of christianity.
In russia the prayers are read in church-slavonic, which derives from old-church-slavonic, which derives from proto-slavic, from which all the slavic languages derive. Bulgarian has as much to do with church-slavonic as any other slavic language. Also independent church is not the same as different religion
@Alem Ganbold we Greeks have always had a deep faith in divine power and judgment. At the time of the Apostle Paul's visit to Athens there was a statue dedicated to the one and only God in the city square οf Athens. Our ancestors have always believed that there was a unique one but couldn't actually explain it. apostle Paul used this statue as an excuse and started his speech about the one and only God.even our well-known philosopher Socrates, besides accusing him of seducing young people, believed in the existence of one God, and rejected them 12. In hearing these statements, the judges of Elias condemned him to drink the cone. Another Saint of that time was Dionysious of Areopagit was one of the first Athenians to believe in Christ. At an early age, he was in Heliopolis, Egypt (near present-day Cairo) at the time of the Lord's Crucifixion. On that Good Friday at the time of the crucifixion of Christ, though noon, the sun was "darkened, and darkness was darkened until the morning" (Matt. 27:45). Dionysius was shocked by this paradoxical phenomenon and exclaimed: "God suffers or everything is lost" ("God suffers or everything is lost"). He carefully noted the day and time of this supernatural event of the darkening of the Sun. When he returned to Athens, he heard the Apostle Paul's preaching on the High Ice talking about that supernatural darkness at the Crucifixion of the Lord, dispelling any doubts as to the validity of his new faith. He was baptized with his family in the year 52 AD. Dionysius' acceptance of Christ is mentioned in the Acts of the Apostles in chapter 17 and verse 34 "what men were glued to believe, as both Dionysius the Hieropagite and the wife of Damascus".
@Alem Ganbold there's no one answer to your question as to why the Greeks dropped paganism and embraced christianity. One simple answer to the question that is well known among every scholar is that the ancient Greeks believe in not 12 Olympian God's but 13. What many people dont know is the 13th God is never mentioned. When the Athenians were building the temples to all of the Gods they also resurrected the 13th temple dedicated to the "Unknown God" in fear of not insulting a God they may of overlooked. Later on when St. Paul came to Athens he stood in front of the temple and said "men of Athens I have come to you to tell you that I have found and know the name of this unknown God".read Acts 17:22-31 Overall we can see the parallel of Zeus and Hercules story to christianity that may of paved the way for the ancient Greeks to recognize who is the true saviour of mankind. If one was to break down into the philosophical level of Hercules and Jesus one can clearly see as did the ancient Greeks that Hercules over all story is about him redeeming himself which is a selfish act and Jesus Christ is about redeeming mankind which is a selfless Act.

On this map, the entire Netherlands are shown to be Protestant. That is incorrect. The two southern provinces Limburg and Northern Brabant are to this day predominantly Catholic. The other southern province of Zeeland is indeed Protestant
Another problem with the video is that it shows the areas controlled by the Germanic kingdoms during the late Roman Empire and Dark Ages as totally Arian (1:58). The Roman populations under the Germanic rule were Nicene. So the areas shown as Arian really should be striped and not totally colored as Arian.
Plus, not everyone in Mauritania and Africa were Donatist. These areas should also be striped and not colored solidly Donatist (1:58).
Plus there should be some reference to Gnostic Christianity which was very strong in Egypt during the late Roman period and the Dark Ages.
The Cathars should also be mentioned. They were very strong in southern France during the early Crusade period (4:30). They also were fairly strong in the Rhineland.

The “Celtic Church “ thing is completely wrong IMO. Ireland and Scotland didn’t have a church called like that , they were Catholics under the authority of the Pope like the rest of Western European nations. Some historians use the term “Celtic Christianity “ because they had some particular traditions and customs not seen in other regions of Europe , but they were still Catholics in communion with the Holy See.
I agree, but I believe what the video is referring to "churches" before the 1000s are a mix of communions, creeds and traditions or rites.
Examples of the creed-based categories are Nicene Christianity, Monophysite, Arianism. Armenian Apostolic also had a different creed.
Rites include Latin, Greek, Celtic.
Later on do we only see the relevance of communions, wherein we see the different rites becoming "stricter" in delineating what constitutes their Church.
Jino DMC that’s a good observation. The “Celts” were not alone however in having some differences with other Latin Christians. In Spain you had the Mozarabic rite , in northern Italy the Ambrosian rite , etc. This is indeed a complex and fascinating subject.
Catholicism appeared as therm after the great schism, so more than 500 years after the foundation of the Celtic church. Its is called thus cause of the people that were part of it, as opposed to the Anglo-Saxon invaders who were initially Pagan.

‘Tehcir Law’ happened (meaning “Deportation” in Ottoman Turkish).
Which allowed muslim Turks and Kurds to deport all Armenians who inhabited Anatolia to the Middle East and surrounding areas, in response to the countless of Armenian revolts started in late 19th century which killed hundreds of thousands of civilians (most of them being muslim Kurds).
During the Caucasus campaign alone for example, over 150.000 Turks and other Muslims were massacred by Armenian volunteer units.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tehcir_Law
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caucasus_campaign
According to the Ottoman census of 1914 (with help of France), roughly 1.1 million Armenians lived in Anatolia.
99% of them were forcibly deported, many died on the way and others got rounded up and executed by Ottoman officials. Many of them got charged for their crimes but others got away with it by fleeing to other countries.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_the_Ottoman_Empire#/media/File%3AProportions_des_populations_en_Asie_Mineure_statistique_officielle_d1914.png
Turkey says that 600.000 Armenians were killed directly (by executions) or indirectly (dying of thirst during deportation) and roughly half a million made it out alive, outside of Ottoman territory. That’s why today, there are alot of Armenians living at the Syrian/Turkish border.
Turkey sees these events as an “ethnic cleansing by forced deportation” and not by genocide.
But the main reason why Turkey denies it, is because they don’t want to accept the biased view of these events and rather wants all historical facts to be put on table.
Each story has 2 sides. Turks and Kurds killed hundreds of thousands of Armenians. That’s true (even Turkey acknowledges it) but Armenians were not angels as they portray themselves and have been responsible for hundreds of thousands of civilian casualties as well.
Since 2002, Turkey expressed multiple times that Turkey would acknowledge the mass killings of up to 1.5 million Armenians during World War I as genocide ONLY after a thorough investigation by a joint Turkish-Armenian commission consisting of historians, archaeologists, political scientists and other experts. In order to have a least biased/Pro-Armenian view of the events.

The way a huge chunk of the Armenian church just dissapeared at 7:55 is haunting, but even further proof that the Armenian genocide actually happened; at this point we can put as much evidence as there is, but Turkey (and Azerbaijan) will eventually have to stop denying it and come to terms with the Armenians, whether they like it or not.

The rise of the Church Slavonic tradition is a very interesting story that is far too often left out of the Western narrative of Christian history.
It's honestly sad how easily we get past the genocides in Anatolia on the early 20th century. Nowhere through the whole map will you see such violent changes. People should realize that this wasn't something like any other national conflict.
Well that was because the population exchange between turkey and greek according to religion and it was by the request of greek
As you see that Christianity first appeared in the Middeleast but people converted to different religions, primarily Islam. it is the same thing that happened to Anatolia. Many local groups became Muslim. As a person who is from eastern Anotlia and some of my family members were tortured and killed by Cristian Armenian, the lie of genocides does not mean anything to me. During the 19th and 20th centuries, more Muslim local groups were killed than Christians in Anatolia...

Thank you. At about 40% is the percentage of all christians of Lebanon. Half of them are Maronite catholics
That is quite a liberal estimate. The real number is suspected to be around 25%, although I think that the overall percentage is supposed to increase as time goes on. This is down from the 85-90% in 1920, when the state was created as a refuge for middle eastern Christians by France. Also, it’s Catholic. The Maronites are part of the West Syriac Rite of the Eastern Catholic Church.
Armenian Christians forever!
Christianity was in Armenia way before, when runaway Christians from Rome brought the faith into Armenian Highlands, particularly Apostol Thaddeus, who laid the foundations, why the church is called Apostolic. Long after Gregory the Illuminator, now excepted Saint by the Vatican, founded the doctrine. The site of the first church/ cathedral was God sent according to the tradition, construction was finished, and the cathedral had the first formal mass in 301. The cathedral is the Holly Chair of all Armenians, St Echmiadzin, the Catholicosate and Seminary, the center of faith and culture for over 1723 years, with only minor repairs surviving wars, earthquakes, even Soviet domination. Hallelujah!
Incredible work. Thank you!!!

Some mysterious event happened around 1270. that converted southern Croatia from Orthodox to Catholic (according to this clip). Yet, in 925. and 928. councils were held in Split, attended by Croatian King within the context of subordination of the Croatian church to Rome.
Coexistence is indirectly spoken of in history between western and eastern Christians. Eastern Christians still lived in Croatia, Bohemia, Hungary, and even Poland. Who gave Croats glagolitic? Romans? Why did crusaders destroy Croatian churches?
In 925 there was no formal difference between the Orthodox and Catholic church, the split between the two happened in the 11th century.
Balkan is poor made. In video around 1500year orthodox started to live in Bosnia. That's not true in Bosnia like 60% of population was orthodox other was bogumils and Catholic ( Croats in Herz.) .

One slight issue is that although people in the Soviet Union did not give up their Orthodox faith entirely, it was heavily suppressed by the Communists.

Yes partly true but Stalin reintroduced the study of theology and Byzantinology. The study, not the practice but yes you are right.
Soviet authorities never eradicated the church as an institution. They seized a lot of land and some structures from the church, separated it from the state. But Russian Orthodox Church continued to exist even during the times of harshest anti-religious propaganda in the 20s. It was never forbidden to go to church or pray. It was just considered inappropriate for communist party members

Great video. Greek Orthodoxy also has a great presence in the Levant alongside Syriac Christianity. As a matter of fact, Greek Orthodox is the majority Church for Christians in the Levant, not the native Syrian Church. It’s locally called “Rum Orthodox” (i.e; Roman Orthodox), also called “Byzantine Church”… most of its adherents are native converts from Syriac Communities (during the Byzantine period), as well as some descendants from Christian Arab tribes like the Ghassanids. Another term used for its adherents is “Orthodox Melkites”, which referred to the natives as Aramaic-speaking loyalists to the Byzantine King.
Thank you
I thought the majority church in the Levant would be the Maronite Catholics since they make up around 32% of the Lebanese population.
No, the Maronites are only a majority in Lebanon. There are lots of Christians in Syria, Palestine, and Jordan. The majority of Christians are Byzantine/Greek Orthodox, then Roman Catholic, Syriac Orthodox, Assyrian Orthodox, along with some more smaller groups.@@arturmonteiro8541

Good job with the map, anyways I want to point out Latvia. First of all during the reformation the relligious freedom was declared allready in 1525 a victory for Lutherans, the same year Prussia became a secular country. Plus the center of Lutherism in Livonia was Riga not Tallinn. Second of all and most importantly Courland was a Lutheran stronghold ever since reformation with a Catholic minority living there. Latgale on the other hand, after it was incorporated in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth has been a Catholic stronghold. Still being the worlds northernmost Catholic region. Still there's a considerable Orthodox and even more interestingly Old believers minority. In Vidzeme since it's incorporation into Sweden in 1629, we can't even talk about an Catholic minority, Cathols and everyone else not Orthodox Lutheran were banished from Vidzeme.

You are like literally the first mapper who recognised Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church ever on the history of religion video.
Great video! I understand it is difficult to include that, but the christianity of Romanians coincides with their ethnogenesis. The Romanians appeared as a Christian people from their beginnings (late antiquity) as proven by the basic church vocabulary inherited from Latin which sometimes is slightly different from Western Romance. Because christianity is an organized religion with a church, bishops, priests it might have had a very important contribution (besides language) to the cohesion of the Proto-Romanians and to the formation of a (proto-)Romanian identity as opposed to the Slavs around who became Christian (much) later. Even if Romanians during the Middle Ages adopted the Orthodox rite through Old Church Slavonic, this language was not at all understood by the people so the Bible and other books were translated into Romanian (16 century). While the Romanian language adopted some specific terms related to the Orthodox rite from Old Church Slavonic and Greek, the basic Latin church vocabulary remained intact.

You can see clearly the Muslim invasion in Spain from 711. And the posterior reconquista finished in 1492.

Finally someone who knows history,and knows what bosnian church is. I am sick of people telling bosnians that they were chatolic or orthodox before ottomans.
@George Nathanael They still are a minority compared to the majority of the Bosnian Church before the Ottomans.(although the later kings and high ranking people were catholic due to pressure from the Vatican and also the crusade in 1235 and constant persecution of Bosnian Church members(similar and influenced by bogomils from Bulgaria) as they were considered heretics)
So, indeed, most Bosniaks(in Bosnia, Croatia, Serbia and Montenegro; the Kingdom of Bosnia encompassed also Dalmatia and western parts of Serbia and Montenegro along the modern border before the Ottomans came; a good part of Sandžak was, turkish croatia is in Bosnia and is called Bosanska Krajina, although mentioned in some old documents as such) are descendants of those same persecuted Bosnian Church members. In addition, during the Ottoman conquest of the Balkans and Hungary in late 15th to 17th centuries, many Bosniaks moved to those newly conquered lands to be landlords initially by the order of the sultan, because of lack of native converts to Islam and the speed of the conquest to have the land secured. So Bosniaks actually moved outwards in that period, no doubt a lot of Croats and Hungarians have Bosnian roots due to that.
Need I say how many Croats are Croatianized Italians, Hungarians, Czechs, etc.(from the Habsburg period and before) or how many Serbs are Serbianized Bulgarians(along the border), Vlachs, Bosniaks(due to persecution in 19th and 20th centuries), whose asimilation was even easier and more likely due to having the same religion and sect or by having the process being forced under threat of death and ethnic cleansing(in case of Bosniaks)?

Correct in year 301
The Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox Churches ("Monophysite" which for some reason you split among Armenian, Syriac, Coptic, and Abyssinian), and the Church of the East (Assyrian/Nestorian) are all part of Nicene Christianity. The Assyrian Church left in 431 after Ephesus and the Oriental Churches left in 451 after Chalcedon. So the timeline there is a little off.
*Also in 451 the Armenian Church didn't actually end communion with the rest of Chalcedonian Christianity since it was preoccupied with the Battle of Avarayr. It rejected the Council of Chalcedon in 506 and then officially broke off relations in 609.
**Also showing Mesopotamia as striped is pretty off since Edessa and the former Kingdom of Osroene were Christian strongholds. With Edessa (modern-day Urfa) being 1/3 Christian until World War One...Also Tur Abdin (around Mardin) with a huge Syriac Orthodox population existed as an entity until then with pickets still remaining till this day.
The Catholics, The Orthodox, and Monophysite Orthdox, and Assyrian Church of the East, are the OG’s
The monophysite churches are shown different because they quickly developed unique national characters that distinguishes them from say the universalism of the cstholic church. Even monophysite converts to Catholicism are allowed to retain their liturgical traditions within an eastern catholic church.
@@ericthegreat7805 Firstly,, the term Monophysite is no longer used. They're referred to as Oriental Orthodox. So I'd like it if we call them by the name that they prefer, not an outdated pejorative term. Second, if its the case of distinct national identities, then why are the Eastern Orthodox shown as a monolithic group when they're clearly national churches as well.... it just doesn't make sense to me.
I mean they were originally monophysite but yeah, oriental orthodox
I actually don't know, but I assume a lot of it has to do with being under Islamic occupation, they tend to have less of a unified identity and more of a nationalistic sense than the Eastern orthodox countries.
For example Maronites tend to be very exclusive.

In 585 Galicia was conquired by visigothics but in 589 the visigoths convert them to catholicism under galician influence.
Galicia was the second kindom to adopt christianity after Arménia and the first after the Roman Empire fall.
The Celtic Christianity existed in north os suevic Galicia (today north of Galicia and Astúrias) brought by the Bretons who escaped from the Saxon invasions lidered by the Bishop Mailoc. That Celtic Christianity lasted from the 6th century to the 8th century.

I am from Aleppo. Was Aleppo Catholic or Orthodox?
Orthodox.
De ce n-ati știut ca biserica din Antiohia a fost și este ortodoxa? Bisericile primare, apostolice, au fost în: Ierusalim, Antiohia, Roma, Alexandria și Constantinopol. Doar Roma s-a despărțit de restul in anul 1054, iar restul au păstrat credință nemodificata și sunt ortodoxe și în comuniune și astăzi.

The only mistake I noticed is that you call Greek-Catholic Church "Greek-Catholic" always, but at the begin it was called "Uniat Church" (from word "unia" that mean "union", because it was like a union between Catholic and Orthodox Church). Name "Greek-Catholic" is idea of Austrian Emperor in the end of XVIII century.
Означення «греко-католицька» дозволяє відрізняти її від католицьких церков інших традицій - передусім від Латинської церкви, а також від Вірменської католицької церкви та церков александрійського, антіохійського та ассирійського обрядів. Разом із останніми греко-католицькі церкви належать до східних католицьких церков.УГКЦ ж підпорядковується Риму.
I love these videos! But AFAIK, the Basques weren't Christianized so early... In the 700's, when the Muslim Empire occupied Iberia, they called the Basques "wizards" (pagans).
Not only Greece is the hurdle of civilization but also that of Orthodox Christianity and at the same time it gave the chance for other denominations to be evolved. Tremendous contribution to this 🌍. 🇬🇷 🏛✝️💒

Bulgaria has its own independent church from the 9th century till this day. We gave the russians their modern understanding of christianity and a little known fact is that in Russia the church prayers are furst read in old Bulgarian and after that in Russian. Another fun fact is that King Boris the first of Bulgaria is a saint in all forms of christianity.
Then he should has also counted Serbian church from 1345
Yeah, yeah you also created universe and stopped black plague
In russia the prayers are read in church-slavonic, which derives from old-church-slavonic, which derives from proto-slavic, from which all the slavic languages derive. Bulgarian has as much to do with church-slavonic as any other slavic language. Also independent church is not the same as different religion

The first Orthodox Christian was a woman named Lydia from Kavala Greece..... Apostle Paul baptised her🇬🇷♥️
@Alem Ganbold we Greeks have always had a deep faith in divine power and judgment. At the time of the Apostle Paul's visit to Athens there was a statue dedicated to the one and only God in the city square οf Athens. Our ancestors have always believed that there was a unique one but couldn't actually explain it. apostle Paul used this statue as an excuse and started his speech about the one and only God.even our well-known philosopher Socrates, besides accusing him of seducing young people, believed in the existence of one God, and rejected them 12. In hearing these statements, the judges of Elias condemned him to drink the cone.
Another Saint of that time was Dionysious of Areopagit was one of the first Athenians to believe in Christ. At an early age, he was in Heliopolis, Egypt (near present-day Cairo) at the time of the Lord's Crucifixion. On that Good Friday at the time of the crucifixion of Christ, though noon, the sun was "darkened, and darkness was darkened until the morning" (Matt. 27:45). Dionysius was shocked by this paradoxical phenomenon and exclaimed: "God suffers or everything is lost" ("God suffers or everything is lost"). He carefully noted the day and time of this supernatural event of the darkening of the Sun.
When he returned to Athens, he heard the Apostle Paul's preaching on the High Ice talking about that supernatural darkness at the Crucifixion of the Lord, dispelling any doubts as to the validity of his new faith. He was baptized with his family in the year 52 AD. Dionysius' acceptance of Christ is mentioned in the Acts of the Apostles in chapter 17 and verse 34 "what men were glued to believe, as both Dionysius the Hieropagite and the wife of Damascus".
@Alem Ganbold there's no one answer to your question as to why the Greeks dropped paganism and embraced christianity. One simple answer to the question that is well known among every scholar is that the ancient Greeks believe in not 12 Olympian God's but 13. What many people dont know is the 13th God is never mentioned. When the Athenians were building the temples to all of the Gods they also resurrected the 13th temple dedicated to the "Unknown God" in fear of not insulting a God they may of overlooked. Later on when St. Paul came to Athens he stood in front of the temple and said "men of Athens I have come to you to tell you that I have found and know the name of this unknown God".read Acts 17:22-31
Overall we can see the parallel of Zeus and Hercules story to christianity that may of paved the way for the ancient Greeks to recognize who is the true saviour of mankind. If one was to break down into the philosophical level of Hercules and Jesus one can clearly see as did the ancient Greeks that Hercules over all story is about him redeeming himself which is a selfish act and Jesus Christ is about redeeming mankind which is a selfless Act.

Greek Catholic Church in the middle of Eastern Europe. Can someone explain what that whole thing was about?
In the end of the XVI century Polish-Lithuanian authorities (including the King) decided to weaken Russians' claims to Belarusian and Ukrainian lands. Thus, in 1596 the orthodox church on these lands was reassigned to the authority of the Pope. It is called The Union of Brest

Really surprised you included the Bosnian Church in the video, Thumbs Up!
Latvia shown extremely inaccurate. Here is shown, that everything north from river Daugava is Lutheran, while everything south is Catholic.
Biggest joke is that most of east Latvia (Latgalia) is shown as Lutheran, while it is the real Catholic stronghold, with Aglona Basilica being international place for Catholic pilgrimage, even visited by Pope John Paul II.
On another hand, west Latvia (Courland) is shown completely Catholic, while in real life there is probably 0 Catholic churches.
That's true. A lot of mistakes in the Balkans as well.
Not 0 for sure. For example Alsunga is quite catholic and catholic church is in Kuldiga too. I suppose every town in Latvia has lutheran and catholic churches as well as russian orthodox.

It’s honestly terrifying to see costal Anatolia and the Istanbul area loose all of its Christian population in such a short spam. I always thought this was a slow and gradual process, but no. Everything happens so suddenly.
Actually no. In Ottoman times coastal anatolia (Western and northern more specifically) had a significant amount of christian population but they were never the majority. In 1920s populations got exchanged (except the ones in Istanbul) so it’s normal for them to lose their christians. Also the creator of the video is greek so it’s understandable why he kinda exaggerated.
Yea just as quickly as you guys christianized south America.
