Thanks for the shoutout! In case anyone's interested I am working on a project to portray the evolution of the Dutch coastline and lakes as accurately as possible.
And the map is still a simplification, leaving out many of the subdivisions. For instance, what's just called "Ziegenhain" in this map from the 13th century onward should really include the county of Battenberg, which then splits into the counties of Battenberg and Wittgenstein, only to be consumed by Mainz and Hesse shortly after. Germany is a mess. :-)
Apart from that, I like how Ollie Bye is always showing that France was also a complicated feudal mess, to a lesser extent than Germany but still. A lot of people seem to forget it wasn't a centralized state sometimes.
What achieved the dukes of Burgundy is impressive. Philip the good was the third, but it was Philip the bold that prepared it by making the good unions. Philipp the good had so many titles that he was named the western great duke. It was the first time these lands were united and that hase become Belgium and Netherlands when the Hasburg inheritated it.
It's the same guy, but with a different name for every title. He was the third Count of Flanders with the name Philip, so that's why they called him Philip III in Flanders. In Luxemburg he was called Philip I, because he was their first Duke ever with the name Philip. This is European feudalism.
Small mistake, the Rhine River up until around the year 1000 primarily went through the Leidsche Rijn and the Kromme Rijn, which are nowadays no longer really where it goes through. The place where the NetherRhine splits into the Kromme Rijn and the Lek is the city of Dorestad or Wijk bij Duurstede. The Northern Leidsche Rijn formed the Roman Frontier, which thus included cities like Utrecht, which are no longer on the main stream of the Rhine.
Yes, a lot of those rivers and side streams shifted or regrouped in a different way. I only recently realized, the collapsed the roman settlement "Nijmegen" and the later refounded Carolingian "Nijmegen" are a few kilometers off duo to the shift and regroup of the rivers between the 4th and the 8th century.
I am from Flanders and I didn't know that! I'm guessing most prisoners prefer the (fairly luxurious) Belgian prison system above walking from Flanders through France and Spain with a big bag of f*cking rocks Edit: Luxurious
I was so excited when I saw this! I've been reading a lot of English history lately, and there's been a lot of discussion in the texts about England's relations with the Low Countries. This map is definitely going to help me visualize these places better than I did before!
One small thing: after the independence of the Dutch "United Provinces", it would be appropriate to keep showing the separate provinces, as they were quite autonomous
Οh wow, it was SO complicated, so many small states, duchies, committees and so on, it was all so divided for most of it's history, the preciseness is beyond great!! Congratulations!!
You could do the history of Tyrol, it's actually very interesting: celts, romans, avars, lombards, franks, bishops, counts, austrians, WW1 and split between Austria and Italy, fascism in the south, nazism in the norh, the nazi zone of occupation and resistance, split again in two, terrorism and modern day (the euroregion Tyrol is made up of all the actual Tyrolean territories between Austria and Italy).
What is native and what is not? Dutch is modern frankish, apart from the Frisians who are indeed more closely related to the saxons. Franks have lived quite separated from the saxons since the roman times, so although they're both germans and "not high" (with all the historic bagage), it would be amazing that they would be so close (more close than Saxon and Danish maybe, but not that much).
That's because Francia was much further north in the early middle ages than this misleading video suggests en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francia The first dutch is now considered the Salic Law which was neither Frisian or Saxon.
that's mostly because it was a prince-bishopric, so it technically couldn't be inherited due to dynastic ties, which happened to the rest of the Low Countries under the Burgundians and Habsburgs.
Liège has been shortly annexed by the Burgundians but succeeded to claim back its freedom when Mary of Burgundy succeeded her father. The rest of the time it was more like foreign influence by supporting inner troubles or by the choice of the prince-bischop... And then arrived France 😢😭
As a luxembourger i am absoluetly stunned that you know that namur was luxembourgish for a short time when count henry the blonde conquered it!! Nobody knows thus usually !! Gret great work, also the 3 partitions of luxembourg are absolutely correct. 👍👍👍👍
Yeah sad howmuch land and people we lost. Even brussel the largest dutch city is now 0% dutch speaking. The french are ruthless and will destroy the native culture after their conquest.
After 1713 west Flanders was partially maintained by the dutch before being reincorporated into Austria which couldve been shown on the map. Also in 1789 belgium briefy gained independence which deserves to be shown aswel.
I love maps like these that show the history of a country or a region so well. One thing about European history I like is that it's so well documented.
@@arnold3768 There is shared history. But not like, what mostly the Dutch try to claim, that both countries have been part of the same national entity for hundreds of years. There are actually Dutch people who try to claim the medieval past of Flanders (then being part of the French crown) as their own...
small mistake, the county of flanders was independent from france from 1302-134 following a military victory against the french (battle of the golden spurs)
Dè hedde gij goe gezééd, zèkske. Veel mensen weten van niks. Toen ik een Brabantse leeuwenvlag in mijn kot had, vroeg een meid uit Herentals of het "een Vlaamse vlag" was. Noord-Brabanders weten ook niet veel beter. Zou ze eens moeten vragen of Antwerpen "Vlaams" of "Brabants" is. Ik verwacht dat ze sneller het eerste zullen zeggen en het tweede zullen verwerpen.
It was very cool to see Brugge being decimated by the golden inlet drying up in the early 1300’s, from tht point on the kost developed piece of land in europe and the biggest port was doomed
I had never done a map video so i was trying to do basically this exact video but never finished it. I'm glad it does exist know and done by a competent mapper
now i was talking with my friend named ollie and i saw that Ollie bye channel uploaded a new video. The first words that came out of my mouth were: Ollie, bye...
Great map as usual! However, i would like to note (although i'd doubt anyone would be misinformed by this tiny mistake) that despite the country still bearing the formal name _Deutsches Reich_ until 1945, the country name used in the labels from 1919 - 1945 should be something else, maybe the _German Reich_ instead of the _German Empire_. Using the labels "Empire" post-1919 might be erroneous or confusing for some people. Still, the video is great as usual and i can't imagine the amount of work that had to be done to complete all of this.
Also to add a bit, the left white area near France between Oldenburg's exclave and the Palatinate was actually already annexed by Prussia in 1834 (The Principality of Lichtenberg). Still, of course there's loads of small principalities here and mistakes here and there are beyond normal.
Hey Ollie! Haven’t checked in in a while so just want to say this new (I think) animation format is great! I remember when you only had 50k! Keep up great work!
Very nice, you included the part of the coastline changes of Flanders, many forget that this coast is artificial. One mistake is that in 1789, the southern Netherlands rebelled against Austrian rule and proclaimed themselves as the "United States of Belgium" and were self ruling for 1 year. It was a failed project however due to infighting and the Prussians switching sides as part of a peace deal with the Austrians and were reconquered by the Habsburg army.
awsome video... especially with the portraits and everything .... perhaps slowing down for the last 100 years would have been nice, so much happened there. And much of the beautiful details you added are hardly seen. Anyway great job :)
I like how you distinguished between head of state and head of government. I think it's better to show the head of government since they have the actual control
The romans controlled 100% of the Netherlands and around 80% of Germany from 12 BCE till 9 AD. Then Arminius happened. AAAA VARUS GIVE ME BACK MY LEGIONS!
Yeah but it was quite a loose control. Gallia was conquered one century before by Caesar, who murdered millions of people there, probably one of the first genozids in history. If that would also have happen in Germany, they would probably stay for longer, but germany at that time was also too cold and uninteresting too. Just Forests, pure wilderness and so on.
After that Romans had still a big influence above the Rhine. An more important even in the time of Clovis around 500AD Drenthe & Overijsel belonged to Francia already en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francia for a better map
No. The limes was the northern boundary of the Roman empire. It ran roughly from Hadrian's wall via Utrecht, Xanten further south - east along the river Rhine. Mind you the (future ) Netherlands north of the limes did not have much to offer at the time. Some lovely marshes, with muddy fields in between. Some Roman traders settled north of the limes, trading with the Frisii. That was all.
You forgot to show the dutch collonies (New York, Suriname, Curaçao, Aruba, Pernambuco, Ghana Coastline, South Africa, Mauritius, Some indian cities, Sri Lanka, ndonesia and a city in Japan)
so the creator of the modern netherlands is the house of nassau, with the capital in a town of 4500 inhabitants. And even better, nassau escinded from the Laurenburg house, with its capital in a 300 inhabitants village. European middle-age history is the best, every place is relevant.
Wonderful map! That must have been a lot of work! Saw a few mistakes. The border of the Roman Empire follow the old rhine river. That mesns the border was more north. Zeeuws-Vlaanderen in Zeeland got seperated from Vlaanderen during the revolt against Spain. Before that it was paet of Vlaanderen.
