      Roman empire fell due to wrong economic policy, corruption and greedy struggle for power among the wealthy caste. In it´s final few years, it was much too late to rescue the empire by some simple advises which could be easily fulfilled in short time. So my advise would have been: Run!

      @HarryMonn 4 дні тому +10

      @ChristiaanHW the world population at the time was around 180-200 million. China had 60-80 million at this time. So if Rome had 120 million then there would have to be almost nobody outside of Rome and China, which we know can't be true, seeing as India alone also had a very large population. Thus Rome couldn't have 120 million. Most academics say 75 million max.

      The Huns likely entered Western Asia shortly before 370, from Central Asia: they first conquered the Goths and the Alans, pushing a number of tribes to seek refuge within the Roman Empire. In the following years, the Huns conquered most of the Germanic and Scythian tribes outside of the borders of the Roman Empire.

It’s very difficult to gain a reliable estimate of Germania’s population at the same time, but 3 million sounds ridiculously low. Like an ancient historian has just counted warriors and their familles, and not the vast network of tenant farmers, slaves and their families beneath them.

    Ironically the Ostrogothic Kingdom in Italy under the reign of Theodoric the Great was better governed and prosperous than under the last Roman emperors.
    Despite the weaknesses of King Theodoric’s successors, the Ostrogoth administration maintained Roman civilization in Italy and it could be argued that ancient Roman civilization in its old homeland was destroyed with the devastation wrought by the eastern Roman Empire’s invasion during the Gothic War.

      It depends on how you define Germany. Some define it as a nation state, others as a cultural region or as a historical one. And even that differs among countries.
      The Germans themselves think of it differently than some others. They identify with the land far more than with the state, unlike the French for example. It is complex

      @@TMTFT Sure.
      In the end Germany is a nation of nations and each component, each nation so to speak, such as Friesland, Bavaria, etc. is a solid amount older than Germany itself. But Germany is quite old as well.
      Thus, I do believe that Germany is the oldest or one of the country of Germanic heritage. Compared to the Scandinavian nations and the low countries as well as England, Germany did exist in a more modern way before the others did, which is why that assessment in his comment is a bit wrong. There was no unified nation state, but there was a Kaiser, there was a common Religion, as well as common laws and language, albeit with many regional differences.
      In 955 at the latest, the Germans also had a common identity against the East, namely the Magyars and the Slavs, who had been invading in the centuries prior.
      To me that seems earlier than what Scandinavia or the British Isles had. One should not underestimate the age of Germany. The history of Germany is simply quite different compared to other European nations.

      Other European languages don't have this problem, using different names for the current Germans (allemands, tedescos, etc) while they use the Roman name just for the old peoples (germain, germano, etc).

    It's interesting to think how the Romans Latinized half of Europe, but when the Germans conquered the Roman Empire they simply melded into the Latinized lands (aside from Britain). On the other hand, when the Slavs conquered the other half of Europe nearly every area they took became Slavicized. The Slavs were never known as a powerful people, yet they still became more dominant.

    One anecdote about the vagueness of the term Germania: One of the south-easternmost pre-migration tribal confederation were the Bastarnae & while this map cuts off Germania in Silesia, the Bastarnae lived all the way in current-day Moldova. Post-migration you would still have Germanic tribes in areas like Crimea (the Crimean Goths) for centuries. The use of a green map shade with a strict border is to be regarded as suboptimal as it implies strict cutting-off of an area, though I get it why in mapping people tend to do it.

    I wonder why the author neglected to include the Suebi in the number of tribes from Germania who moved south, and west, from their original homeland during the migratory period referred to in this video. They are mentioned in the maps illustrating the narrative, but not a word about them is ever uttered here. The Suebi founded the first Christian kingdom in the Iberian Peninsula, the Kingdom of Galicia, with its capital in Bracara (today Braga, in the north of Portugal) which was already at the time one of the most important ecclesiastic centres in Iberia, with bishoprics dating back to the first century AD.
    Despite that, this is a truly excellent if brief video about the movement of some of the peoples who helped define to a great degree what we are, as Europeans.

    Gaul had a maximum of 12 million, Iberia some 8 million, Italy 10 million and the Maghreb some 8 million. Britain no more than 2 million.
    Which makes a maximum of 40 million in the Western Empire.
    Germany was as big as Gaul, but probably less cultivated, so maybe 5 or 6 million, unlike the 12 million of Gaul.
    Out of the 6 million Germans, maybe a maximum of a half migrated, which makes 3 millions. With some good military organization it's possible to seize power even by being less than 10% of the population.
    In Gaul probably at least 1 million Germans migrated, and in Northern Gaul, maybe 1/4 to 1/3 of the population was from the newcomers.
    In Britain, with a small population like 2 million, if 1 million Germans migrated, it's half the population in the Western part of the British isles. Largely enough to change the language and the culture of those areas, and assimilate the conquered Britons.

It was always my understanding that it was the Huns who pushed the Germanic tribes, and when those tribes began moving west during the chaos of the Huns and the Roman Empire crumbling the Slavs filled the vacuum and settled the emptied lands. But that doesn't explain everything, because the Slavs also conquered some lands in the Balkans and further east. And I also don't know why we never heard about the Slavs during the time of the Huns. Many questions.

    2. Almost at the same time, the Chinese empire in the east also suffered the same situation, including the Huns.
    3. The Huns was also forced to move to the south, when they encountered Chinese, some started to move west. It was not because the Huns was stronger to beat the German, it was simply because they had large amount of cavalry, and the German were almost infantry.
