I'm Brazilian and when I was a kid I bought this exact same Atlas. It's so nostalgic for me haha I used to love studying History and geography with these maps
I have taught high school geography for most of the last 40 years. The 1990s and early 2000s made it hard to keep up with the changes in Europe, Africa, and Asia. Textbooks and class map changes prepared me for rapid changes in cellphone technology!😂
10:20 little mistake here, it's actually the austrian empire since 1805 -> the compromise with hungary established the austro-hungarian empire in 1867 after prussia and italy won a 2 front war against austria
I see people are annoyed cause their country wasn't mentioned, which i understand, but honestly... There is way to little room for explaining more. I think he should make a video which is a couple hours long and explain more.
10:58 - my ancestors were Volga Germans. They escaped persecution by the Russian Czar in the 1860s-1870s and emigrated to the US, settling in the American Midwest. I emailed the Catholic Bishop of Saratov, Russia in 2011. He is also the Bishop of Munich, Germany. I asked him whether he knew of any records of the former German colonies in Russia still in existence. Unfortunately he didn't know. I suspected those records were destroyed by Stalin before or during WWII. We were very thankful to have left Russia long before the Bolsheviks took over.
The simultanious conquire on the Balkans and Middle East by the Otoman Empire is because the Balkan states used otoman warriors as mercanaries in their quarels (they were in their late feodal state), so they paved the way for their own demice.
@@yoghurtmaster1688 Not realy, in that time period Bulgaria, Serbia and Byzantine empire (what left of it) was devided at smaller states which was formaly under the law of the tzar or emperor or djupan depend on the country (afterall its late feodal era) they fight between each other. So if there are mercenaries for hire why the hell not use them, right.
Great video, as usual! Could you please share the details of that book you're referencing upon. I'm also Portuguese, I'd be thrilled to find and read it :) Cheers!
@3:06 Germanic and Goth is a bit a strange distinction, as Goths are an East- Germanic tribe. But I can see the misunderstanding is already in the book
I was looking at it and found interesting fact: In here the city of Prague is portraited on the river of Elbe (Labe). The river is right but Prague is more south on the river Vltava (tributary of Labe). Position of Prague here is more like the city of Mělník (confluence of Vltava and Labe) On maps later in the video is position right
Seeing the map in Portuguese is actually pretty interesting. I know that both the French and Germans kind of claim Charlemagne (or Karl der Grosse), but seeing the Portuguese call him Carlos Magno makes me wonder why we use the French name. But even then, since we use Carl and Charles equally in English, I don't even know if we should call him Charles the Great or Carl the Great. English is Germanic, so Carl makes sense, but on the other hand, Charles kinda has more Catholic (think of Charles I and II of England, and it seems like Irish-Americans and Italian-Americans are way more likely to use Charles than Carl in my experienxe) undertones than Carl, and that also seems kinda important for Holy Roman purposes. Maybe we could just call him Carlos Magno too, it sounds pretty cool to me, lol.
At the same time, how did England become "Ingleterra" or "Inglaterra" in Spanish/Portuguese despite having a Germanic name, yet Ireland and Finland both -landa/landia suffixes despite neither being Germanic?
@@seamussc Ireland is Irlanda in spanish and portuguese because the word for the country entered through english. We just added -a at the end (a latin suffix, -ia) and oila, Irlanda. Finland is the name that the swedes gave to Finland, and the name we used was that with the added suffix. which is odd, because -ia means land... Inglaterra, however, entered spanish and portuguese from latin, Anglaterra, or land of the Angles. That's why we don't use the land suffix.
Royal names in English generally favored the French version (unless it was the English version) because the French language had a huge influence in England. And also, Charles IS the English equivalent of Karl for royal names (I don't think it's equal to Carl in that regard), even if it comes from French (like William do, too, despite not being used in France now). Not just Charlemagne, but also the Habsburg emperor Charles V of the HRE (/Charles I of Spain, or should I say: Karl V of the HRE/Carlos I of Spain), and other ones. It seems it stopped (in my eyes) around the middle of the 19th century, since for example England chose "Wilhelm II" instead of "Guillaume II" for the German emperor, not even translating to William. What's interesting to me, is that Europeans often felt the need to "translate" royal names. Some examples in german - french - english - spanish: Karl - Charles - Charles - Carlos ... Franz - François - Francis - Francisco ... Wilhelm - Guillaume (and 1000 other versions, like Williame in Normandy) - William - Guillermo ... The last one of interesting considering the insane diversity. "Helm" (meant helmet) became "haume" in french (same definition, pronounced "hom") and "ame" for the Normans since they tended to pronounced the letter "a" with the sound "o".
The maps about barbarian migrations seem to have several locations mistakes. For example, Paris was founded "onn" the Seine, same for Tours (a bit proud 'cause I was born and live in it) on the Loire and more towards the east (on the map, Tours is in the place of Angers or Poitiers)
Love the fact that you barely mention hungary despite the fact that it was one of the strongest kingdoms in the 14th century. Also The hungarian kindom stopped the ottoman expansion, so that the rest of europe remained safe, while hungary was destroyed.
At 5:45, the map is wrong. The Bulgarian Empire was already established during 8th century. Even in 717-718, Bulgarian Emperor Tervel, helped Byzantines to defeat the Arabs during the siege of Constantinople. Tervel was known then as 'The savior of Europe' and was granted the title of Ceaser by the Byzantines.
Rome in 300 AD: We finally established our empire and mostly united the continent, there won't be anymore wars for centuries to come! Europe: Hold my wine
Have you done anything about the Polish "empire" after the end of the Kievan Rus??? There's some very volatile history there that people may find interesting,
@@General.Knowledge Hello again... Have you considered doing a fun with flags for the Caribbean countries? While most of the countries are quite young, there are some interesting things to talk about...
Only thing wrong is that Moldovia and Valachia(parts of Romania today) were never conquered by the Ottomans and annexed to their empire...they paid tribute and were vasals but were never conquered
Great video, thank you. Have you read The TIMES Atlas of European History? It's been around a while now. It is a superb book. I find historical events are easier to understand when using a map. It puts things into a geo-political context. Some your brilliant channel does with flare!

@@christophermichaelclarence6003 False. Asia was so much more complex than Europe, that you have to cover it by regions. Everything past that is overkill.
I noticed that it was written “Santo Império” but I’ve never heard it being called that way in Portugal=\ we also learn it at school as “Sacro Império Romano-Germânico”
Oh, god. "Western" maps of Eastern europe usually looks like shit xD Borders of Poland looks strange in 7:20. They should have Mazovia at this time and they show it as part of prussia. 1500 map of lithuanian border is also wrong as at this time they had acess to see already. And it wasnt commonwealth yet. Just Poland and Lithuania. 10:38 map shows Warsaw in the place of Lublin. Also for some reason lublin land and big part of mazovia are ukrainian/belarusian. There is a lot of german dots in east slavic sea but not a single polish dot east from river Bug. Strange.
The map of Europe in 1225 also got Poland really wrong. Not only did they show Poland as a unified country (I mean ok it could be overlooked if they at least didn't get the other borders wrong) but Silesia wasn't a part of the Holy Roman Empire for over 100 year after the map date and Breslau location is completly missed. The Teutonic Order didn't exist in Prussia yet and Pomerania was a part of Poland. Silesia is the largest mistake though, but I see many maps depict it wrongly, which is really sad...
The most interesting part is how north of Danube in Eastern Europe there's no data for anything up to the 1300s when all of a sudden Bucarest appears on the maps. What happened since the Romans left in the 200s for over 1000 years? yes, there were the barbarian invasions but that's about it.
It both displeases and disquiets me to see the Ottomons expelled from Europe on a map. After the battle of Varna, Europe didn't do enough to evict them until the 19th century.
"We can see that the goths mostly focused on the balkan regions, italy and a LITTLE BIT of southern france, and mediterranean spain" - next map visigothic kindom holds almost whole Spain, while ostrogoths are mosty in Italy 🤔 This narration is a little misleading. Also Alans and Swebs had kingdoms in Spain, if I remember correctly.
Yes, the Suevii had a kingdom in what is now Galicia and Northern Portugal. The Alans I'm not completely sure, I don't think they established a full on kingdom, maybe some settlements, as the Suevii were the most powerful till the Visigoths came.
10:05 As a Pole I call BS on this map. Poland was wiped out off the maps since 1795, being dismantled by Russia, Prussia and Austria. The land that we see here called "Polonia" is in fact the Duchy of Warsaw, that in years 1807-1815 was under the rule of the Saxon king. Then 1815 was dismantled again by Russia, Prussia and Austria and after that the Polish Kingdom was made, but under the rule of the Russian tsar. Poland didn't really have independence from 1795 to 1918, that's why the day that the WWI ended (November 11th) is the Polish National Independence Day, cause that day we regain independence under the Threaty of Versailles
@@General.Knowledge Wow. You're in for a treat then, cause Poland has a pretty complicated history and the Partitions of Poland are one of in not the most important historical roots of this country, there's so many other historical events and interesting facts connected to them. I could be one of the best sources for you to make this video, since I can name and depicit most of these things of the top of my head.
Its so disrespectful just to skip the time from 1300s to 1500s. Everyone mentions the Polish-Lithuanian Commenwealth, but forgets that these two powers have been the biggest countries between that time.
Not exactly. They controlled us to some degree. France even put a puppet king in Spain, but we revolted and caused a guerrilla war that we won in the end.
