Speaking about Gutenberg's invention: In German we call it "Buchdruck mit beweglichen Lettern" (printing with movable letters) for a reason. Simply because there were cases where you would carve something out of wood for example and use it, but you would need to make everything new for something else. The press he used was I think a wine press btw
Even though the translation is right, but this translation doesnt only is partial showing the invention! It would be more accurate to translate it with "Book printing with removable letters" But yes he used a modified wine press!
@@nachtelfirokese88 I mean it gets the point across and in my experience most Germans (myself included) shorten the invention into only "Buchdruck". Although in school they thought me the full name.

You should mention that Štefan Banič (23 November 1870 - 2 January 1941) was a Slovak inventor who devised a military parachute, the first parachute ever deployed in actual use. He patented his parachute in 1914 and donated the patent to the US army.
Printing press was actually invented first in China, although the one invented in Germany had bigger impacts because it quickly spread to other countries, while China was relatively closed.
there's actually a theory that the printing methods in Korea and China influenced Guternberg's printing press, although there's not much evidence to support it.
The Germans even invented the computer mouse: "Roll ball on table for electronic machine control". But the patent office refused: no technical use and not innovative. The prototype was then put away.
Parachute was invented by Faust Vrancic, bishop from Sibenik. He tested it in 1617, at age of 65, by jumping from St Mark's Campanile in Venice. 166 years before Lenormand: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fausto_Veranzio

I think one of the more interesting things about the parachute is that three months earlier, also in France, the first successful manned hot air balloon flight was made by the Montgolfier brothers. It seems the French were quite into the whole not falling thing.
Among many Spanish inventions, I am going to highlight two, one that proved to be crucial during WW2 and militarywise in general, and another that is as simple and brilliant as it can get: the Submarine and the Lollipop.
Not fully correct. The Spanish made the first combustion powered submarine in 1867. The first working submarine was made earlier by Dutch Cornelis Drebbel in 1615. He was in service of the English king, so it would be debatable whether it would be Dutch or English in the video. There were submarine prototypes and diving bells before that.
@@ComradeAart There are indeed predecessors to that, one of them being Jerónimo de Ayanz. He also invented probably the first tested diving suit, as well as a steam engine. Another significant Spanish invention was the space suit (or its predecessor, depending on who you ask), by Emilio Herrera.
Yes, while the parachute went through a lot of different stages of evolution throughout history, the most modern version of it ( which is the closest to the parachutes used today) was constructed in USA in 1913 by a Slovak worker and inventor Štefan Banič.
Did he work for Henry Irvine? Irvine's company is a world leader in chutes for military use at least today and the man himself did demonstrate his product around the time of WW1 and were used for the balloon recon corps but not authorised for aeroplane pilots initially during that time period.
I'm just glad that you didn't choose the Light bulb, Telephone or Television. They're probably the most contentious examples of where an invention happened.

The airplane is one of those inventions where two places were inventing it at the same time. So if it's who accomplished it first then it was Santos Dummont from Brazil as he completed it a year before the Wright Brothers in the USA did. What the USA was able to do though was quickly iterate on the airplane design along with European nations and to a smaller extent Brazil because of World War 1. A particular invention the US had a large part in was more modern airplane controls so it would be easier to fly the plane itself.
Note: Each country here wasn't in it's modern form. Some people might have been Serbian but have been made in Zambia (example) or had empires like the Napoleonic Empire For Example, with the printing press, it wasn't in Germany but in the Holy Roman Empire, we're not sure yet but it isn't probably traced to Germany.

The modern parachute was made in France, but the first try of parachute that could of worked was made by Da Vinci, but he died before he finished the parachute, but then the final complited parachute was made in Croatia by Faust Vrančić and he actually made a lot of things. So really the first working parachute was made by Faust Vrančić becuase he made a first WORKING parachute with a little help of Leonardo Da Vinci's drawings, so he made his own drawings and so on and so on.... he invented it between end of 16th century and the beginning of 17th century, whilst the one you showed, the "modern" parachute made from France was made in 1783 as you said, and there are SO MANY articles saying about he invented the parachute, but somehow you found the one that says the French made it which aint true.
The french made the first working parachute and as such can be qualified as the inventors of the parachute. Where did you find that Faust's parachute worked?

It wasn't the printing press that was invented by Gutenberg, it was the use of single movable letters instead of letters/ pictures ingraved in page size copper plates.
Fun fact: the telephone was invented in Italy by Antonio Meucci, a poor inventor that couldn't pay the the license, and so Alexander Graham Bell (with much economic possiblity) registered his invention

Paper money was developed independently by the Templars as letters of credit in the 10th century, Long before Marco Polo's voyage. It is improbable, though not imposswible for the idea to have travelled the silk road at that point in history. And you forgot t credit DVinci with his Tank design.
I think in Italy it was not organised by state but every finnancial instutute had their own "money," so it's not the money system as we have now, it's more like some coupon from some shop with some value to buy products only in their shop.
The thing that made the Gutenberg-Printing-press special among others was, that the type-letters were movable. Before that they had to basically carve or cast every page, after they just had to rearrange the letters.
Actually, the oldest record about printing with movable metal letters dates back to 1234 in Korea. though I guess Gutenberg did make more of an impact.
1:45 The book printing of Gutenberg (Mainz/Germany) is not about the printing press itself, because this has been around in Europe for a long time. Gutenberg invented the changeable letters, which perhaps only the Chinese were using back then. Greetings from Termas de Monfortinho !
because of our chinese characters' complication, we did not really widely use changeable letters( Gutenberg only need to change a few dozens of letters, but it required thousands of changable characters in China)
The story of the printing press is much more interesting than is presented in this video. A guy named Fust loaned Gutenberg over 1600 guilders to build him a printing press with movable metal (lead) type. After printing a bunch of bibles (in Latin), Fust sued Gutenberg and demanded his money back, and then confisquated the workshop and almost-finished bibles. He appointed another guy in charge of the shop, and went to Paris to sell the bibles. He was accused of witchcraft (all letters looked the same) and then died of the plague. According to a story, Fust originally got his idea for printing with movable type from the Netherlands, where a guy (who also died from the plague) was already printing with movable type, but with wood (not lead) and not in Latin. People in China and Korea were using movable type centuries before that, but they used ceramics, and it didn't influence the european invention, which evolved from woodblock printing.
On the subject of Britain and the steam engine, it's worth mentioning Richard Trevithick's invention of the high-pressure steam engine. This engine used a boiler which allowed the engine to operate much higher than atmospheric pressure. Trevithick used this engine for steam locomotives that ran on roads. Most importantly however George Stephenson would revolutionise transport with Trevithick's creation and use it to power steam trains.
There’s even an interesting fact regarding this: Napoleon honored Jenner with a medal during the Napoleonic Wars, had his army vaccinated, and released two prisoners on the request of Jenner, and Napoleon remarked he could not "refuse anything to one of the greatest benefactors of mankind". This was while he was at war with Britain too!
Modern gunpowder without smoke, military organization (divisions, army corps, bataillions, etc), modern tank design with turret (Renault-FT / FT-17), guillotine, french are great to invent military revolutions so good that they are adopted by the entire world, and more generally invent new ways to kill the enemies of the Republic lol

I would like to see a polemic one. Who created the airplane? Santos Dummont (Brazil) or Dwight Bros (USA)?
I feel like the majority of inventions have this issue too, a lot of people and places can claim to be the inventors.
The airplane is one of those inventions where two places were inventing it at the same time. So if it's who accomplished it first then it was Santos Dummont from Brazil as he completed it a year before the Wright Brothers in the USA did. What the USA was able to do though was quickly iterate on the airplane design along with European nations and to a smaller extent Brazil because of World War 1. A particular invention the US had a large part in was more modern airplane controls so it would be easier to fly the plane itself.
Clément Ader (France)
the plane is France without any doubt I mean real plane
@@General.Knowledge like Teddy Bear, in US and Germany
Norway's cheese slicer is pretty underrated imo
WALES: First Fuel Cell, The Ball Bearing, Packet Switching, Mail Order, First Wearable Hearing Aid, The Longbow, The Sleeping Bag.
Note: Each country here wasn't in it's modern form.
Some people might have been Serbian but have been made in Zambia (example) or had empires like the Napoleonic Empire
For Example, with the printing press, it wasn't in Germany but in the Holy Roman Empire, we're not sure yet but it isn't probably traced to Germany.
What about the tank? I don’t think the UK was in a different situation. The only notable difference is that it lost Ireland but that didn’t change the state itself like you mean.
lol what else would the HRE be traced to if not germany
Lmao that's some beyond stupid and pointless nitpicking
@@kymon3598 i dont think u understand
if the place was made in a land that'd today be let's say the Netherlands, it'd be dutch, not german. atleast that's how i've learned it
@@sealandball3043 Yes, but we're talking about the HRE here, most of which was culturally german, with the place where Gutenberg created his press (Mainz) being indusputably german.
Brazilian Santos Dumon invented the airplane.
The USA brothers only invented something like a hang gliding.
Wrong
True
true
Wright brothers invented the Angry Birds plane
Wrong, they flew it from the ground up into the air without a cliff or elevated surface, impossible for gliders...it is a fact that the Wright Bros. invented the airplane in the USA...what is debatable is exactly where in the US...most say Kittyhawk, others say Ohio...
For everyone complaining about the Astrolabe.
The Portuguese invented the Nautical Astrolabe (made of metal), the Astrolabe itself already existed in wood, through the middle east and even in Greece.
Adding to Portugal inventions:
- multibanco
- pre-paid phone cards
- microphone sponges
- actual marmalade,not the thing the British refer to as marmalade
- cerebral angiography
- an elevator for wheel-chairs.
Among other things :)
Multibanco não é uma palavra em inglês
Traduz se para ATM
@@ShayNoMore1
O ATM em inglês é a máquina em si.
Que não foi inventada em Portugal e ia induzir em erro. O que foi inventado em Portugal foi o sistema Multibanco.
Ou seja, o software, que permite aceder a qualquer banco do país independente do ATM. Também permite fazer coisas como carregar telemóveis ou pagar contas.
Isso é o multibanco.
O Automated Teller Machine(ATM) já existia.
The modern parachute was made in France, but the first try of parachute that could of worked was made by Da Vinci, but he died before he finished the parachute, but then the final complited parachute was made in Croatia by Faust Vrančić and he actually made a lot of things. So really the first working parachute was made by Faust Vrančić becuase he made a first WORKING parachute with a little help of Leonardo Da Vinci's drawings, so he made his own drawings and so on and so on.... he invented it between end of 16th century and the beginning of 17th century, whilst the one you showed, the "modern" parachute made from France was made in 1783 as you said, and there are SO MANY articles saying about he invented the parachute, but somehow you found the one that says the French made it which aint true.
The french made the first working parachute and as such can be qualified as the inventors of the parachute. Where did you find that Faust's parachute worked?
@@user-pc3nc3hg6w Almost everywhere I looked. Even school taught us this
@@dorianbrlic8632 do you have internet sources? Even Faust's Wikipedia page says he only draw about parachute. There is absolutly no proof that he tested his parachute and that it was working.
@@user-pc3nc3hg6w He has no source because there is no source. All claimed 'sources' of it are refuted. People can't even agree on where that was supposed to be or how he was supposed to jump out of a tower with what was on his drawings.
"The parachute was invented by the French to serve as a means of surrendering while in the sky." -Some History Book Somewhere
Yeah, but it's probably an American text book, so it's dubious at best.
The parachute was invented in croatia

Most of the inventions you mentioned in this video were from europe, I think that it would be very interesting if you mentioned inventions from other places in a future video
For example the plane from Brazil 🇧🇷
Specially from places like the Middle East and India.
You're right! If I make a part two I'll be sure to diversify it more. The Middle-East and Arab world alone have a lot of inventions
@@General.Knowledge it would be even cooler if you dug deeper and looked at a lot of ancient inventions that inspired moderns ones focused on Eastern & Sub-Saharan Africa.

Hello! I think the fountain pen invented by Petrache Poenaru is a great invention(that used a quill as an ink reservoir).
It's not so common anymore. I have one here but it's difficult to get it to work because I use it too seldom.
It wasn't the printing press that was invented by Gutenberg, it was the use of single movable letters instead of letters/ pictures ingraved in page size copper plates.

Fun fact: the telephone was invented in Italy by Antonio Meucci, a poor inventor that couldn't pay the the license, and so Alexander Graham Bell (with much economic possiblity) registered his invention
Pretty sure multiple people are recognised to have a part in inventing the telephone.
Inventions are not based on patent. They are based on how they were invented first.
Sometimes it's so hard to tell who invented first, ESPECIALLY when development happens simultaneously.

In 1596 the Dutch invented Continental Drift. No other invention can claim to have changed the world more than that.

TIL that the Astrolabe was invented in Portugal. The Astrolabe is much, much older!!
Paper money was developed independently by the Templars as letters of credit in the 10th century, Long before Marco Polo's voyage. It is improbable, though not imposswible for the idea to have travelled the silk road at that point in history. And you forgot t credit DVinci with his Tank design.
I think in Italy it was not organised by state but every finnancial instutute had their own "money," so it's not the money system as we have now, it's more like some coupon from some shop with some value to buy products only in their shop.
The thing that made the Gutenberg-Printing-press special among others was, that the type-letters were movable. Before that they had to basically carve or cast every page, after they just had to rearrange the letters.
Actually, the oldest record about printing with movable metal letters dates back to 1234 in Korea. though I guess Gutenberg did make more of an impact.
You have to talk about planes and Brazil
Writing and the water wheel are really crucial inventions as well
You seem to like the Belgian National Anthem ;) (At the end of the video)

1:45 The book printing of Gutenberg (Mainz/Germany) is not about the printing press itself, because this has been around in Europe for a long time. Gutenberg invented the changeable letters, which perhaps only the Chinese were using back then. Greetings from Termas de Monfortinho !
because of our chinese characters' complication, we did not really widely use changeable letters( Gutenberg only need to change a few dozens of letters, but it required thousands of changable characters in China)

The Koreans were also using it as early as 1234.
The parachute was invented before the plane. Never would have thought that.
Parachute was first Made in Croatia
The story of the printing press is much more interesting than is presented in this video. A guy named Fust loaned Gutenberg over 1600 guilders to build him a printing press with movable metal (lead) type. After printing a bunch of bibles (in Latin), Fust sued Gutenberg and demanded his money back, and then confisquated the workshop and almost-finished bibles. He appointed another guy in charge of the shop, and went to Paris to sell the bibles. He was accused of witchcraft (all letters looked the same) and then died of the plague. According to a story, Fust originally got his idea for printing with movable type from the Netherlands, where a guy (who also died from the plague) was already printing with movable type, but with wood (not lead) and not in Latin.
People in China and Korea were using movable type centuries before that, but they used ceramics, and it didn't influence the european invention, which evolved from woodblock printing.
Awesome video.
On the subject of Britain and the steam engine, it's worth mentioning Richard Trevithick's invention of the high-pressure steam engine. This engine used a boiler which allowed the engine to operate much higher than atmospheric pressure. Trevithick used this engine for steam locomotives that ran on roads. Most importantly however George Stephenson would revolutionise transport with Trevithick's creation and use it to power steam trains.
10:09 Love the fact you used the Brabançonne (Belgian national anthem) 🇧🇪

I think you should have started with vaccine invention for France or first internet (Minitel)
??? Vaccines are British, Edward Jenner
There’s even an interesting fact regarding this: Napoleon honored Jenner with a medal during the Napoleonic Wars, had his army vaccinated, and released two prisoners on the request of Jenner, and Napoleon remarked he could not "refuse anything to one of the greatest benefactors of mankind". This was while he was at war with Britain too!
Metal Astrolabes (not just wooden ones) also existed in the Arab world much before they were developed by the Portuguese.
I doesn't have seen the video yet but i know that the airplane gona be problematic
An Australian invented wifi, which often goes overlooked.

Funny to hear the Belgian anthem on the background at the end.
«Para» like «meta» are firstly greek words, not specificially italian. French as u know is a latin language wich has Greek roots

This words come directly from latin to french, and not from italian to french.
