Battle on the Ice: Downfall of the Livonian Order (Part II)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 лип 2024
- The Battle on the Ice, also known as Battle on Lake Peipus, was a heavy defeat for the Livonian Brothers of the Sword. This victory of the Republic of Novgorod ended the ambitions of the Livonians in the East and they headed south. Conflicts with the newly established Polish-Lithuanian state rose and Denmark and later Muscovy and Russia also playing a role, you had a dynamic situation. The (kind of) fusion with the Teutonic Order changed things. The Battle of Grunwald from 1410 was a heavy blow for the crusaders ambitions and the expanding Tsardom of Russia was ready for giving the Livonian Order the final blow.

The best thing bout the Order’s invasion of Novgorod was the absolute MASTERPIECE movie we got out of it.
Awesome! The Novogrod Republic would also be a great "ghost country" to cover, wouldn't it?
Yes, it really would
Hey Artur, good to hear from one of the channel’s OG subscribers! 🙌 And without a doubt, Novgorod would make for a great episode. Personally, I find it really interesting how so much of the Republic’s territory was between Lake Onega and the Urals - basically along the Arctic Ocean’s coast; although, I know the major economic hubs with the Hanseatic League were back west.
This channel is soooooo underrated. These videos are 100k+ view quality
Thank you 🙌; we’re slowly crawling our way up there, but yeah...looking forward to that day!
Great Video!
Thank you; really glad you liked it Chancellor of History!
In 11 minutes you manage to convey more information, statistics and great graphics than I could ever hope to grasp from dozens of books!
Thank you so much Tina; we’ll actually be changing up the map style a bit in our next regular, which also takes place in South Asia - a part of the world we haven’t covered so far.
Very interesting , informative and entertaining. Great graphics
Thank you so much; we’ll be kind of changing up our map style in upcoming videos...just FYI. 😉
Nice video
Thanks man; we’re off to South Asia 🌏 in our next regular video!
@@GhostCountries awesome
Cool! It is also important to note that the danish support had been reduced to half due to conflicts of interest between the danish king and the nobility at the time.
For a moment I thought you were talking about the Danish Civil Wars, but I was off by a couple hundred years there. 😅 Honestly, there’s a lot I’d like to explore in regards to Scandinavian history - the Kalmar Union has been on my list for a while now!
Great video!
Thanks! Your pfp reminds me, we definitely have plans to cover some ghost countries from the Roman period.
very glad i found this channel! loving it!
We’re really glad you found the channel as well...and we’ve got plenty more planned!
Interesting video👌🏼
Thanks man; I think you’ll find our next regular video pretty interesting too! It’s the first one we had our community pick way back when and we’re kind of changing our map style. 🗺
That footage is looking rather fire!
Thanks man!
Good video👍
Thanks Jiayi! 🙌
The opening black and white movie scenes are from Sergei Eisenstein's Alexander Nevsky, correct? I was recently doing a deep dive on some classic film history and I instantly recognized some of those scenes.
Yep, that's it - you've got a good eye!
Both parts of the videos contain quite a bit of inaccuracies... For example, if the uprising of 1343-45 took place on the island of Saaremaa/Ösel, which at the time belonged to the german bishop, then how would that concern the danes and why would the king of Denmark sell their Northern-Estonian lands a year later? The main events of that uprising took place elsewhere and were indeed incredibly significant. This is just an example, but the maps and info about these events are easily available, which makes these mistakes quite annoying...
Interesting history, but shame that the Livonians, the Livs themselves after whom the order gets their name from are almost extinct today.
Thanks and yeah, it's kind of crazy how there's only 250-300 Livonians (Livs) today and, from what I found, approximately just 30 people who known Livonian as a second language. I began looking into their history / decline while actually traveling in Latvia a few years back, but haven't had much time to explore the issue since then.
while saaremaa is nowadays called saaremaa, it did used to be called just ösel
I’m glad someone commented on the name, because we actually went back and forth a bit with this! 😅 Basically, what you said here is what we eventually found out too.

we have been fighting the barbaric orient for the centuries , we Litwins know the drill ... "Let us begin with this evident fact: Muscovy does not belong at all to Europe, but to Asia. It follows that judging Muscovy and the Muscovites by our European standards is a mistake to be avoided."-gonzague de reynold, 19501 In methodological terms, one should de-Europeanise any analysis of Muscovy policy.- thomas gomart, 20062 "

Было бы странно если в комментариях под этим видео не было бы шизофреника с "его собственным" виденьем истории.
1940 - Finland signed peace treaty and ceded all claimed lands to the USSR.
1945 - Manchurian offense operation, that lead to fall of Japanese Empire, due to seizure of their resource-material base in Manchuria and Korea.
1969 - Chinese troops haven't seized Damansky island.
1989 - the same way in 2021 America was "defeated"
2004 - won second Chechen war
2022 - battle is still ongoing, so you cannot say what side will win.
It was funny to hear schizophrenic thoughts about USSR didn't won WW2.
