The fact that we have soo much historical and archeological information on these tiny states in general is amazing, small states tend to get forgotten, assimilated or lost to time. The only issue is the exact historic formation of advanced states within Scotland and Ireland between the 400s-600s, which is a tricky conclusion to decide upon. I’m a big fan of your channel btw, what upcoming projects do you have planned?
@@SxVaNm345 We have next to no historical information (and only some archaeological evidence) about the petty kingdoms between 410 and c.560, (quite probably because they didn't exist).
Prime minister is not the head of state of the UK, The monarch is the head of state so it should be the monarch first followed by the prime ministers above, not only the prime ministers.

He is officially called Her Majesty's Prime Minister and Labour leader is called Her Majesty's leader of the Opposition in Parliament. That's why Boris is not the head of state, only head of her Majesty's government.
@@DavBlc7 It is. Really, it's hovered around one third for the last 500 years (!) The 'second third' are generally undecided - 'it'd be nice but is there really a chance?' Of course, we've always seen the English state as more of a suggestion than an actual government anywhere west of the Severn. It's like ball-lightning or spontaneous combustion. 'I know someone who saw it, it's real'. 'I don't know - did he have a few drinks in him?' :)
The British Isles population density in 1776 is similar to that of the contiguous United States population density in 2020. Back then in the late 18th century the British Isles have around 13,221,047 people.
@@DavBlc7 Pretty unlikely. i think most people in scotland are educated enough to realise leaving the UK wont give them any more freedom. they will just be even more at the beck and call of london because they wont be able to do anything without them. a huge portion of scottish trade comes through mainland england and you really dont want to be leaving the union because all that will happen is london will start to completely ignore scotland and cover it in Tarriffs untill its economy is dead. scotland just doesn't have the population figures to establish its own trade networks.
Ireland first unified roughly 4th century at the latest but the dates arent certain. Ireland had a strange government system with a High King at the top and beneath him there were 5 provinces with a petty king who controlled the land in their province. Then there was lots of small cheiftens inside these provincs who kept control of there small area of land. And there was no royal family either for the High King, if a small cheiften defeated other small cheiftens in infighting wars ( which often happened ), the chieftan could rise to petty king of the province and then High King if the 4 other petty kings submitted to him. Ireland at this time had the same langage, culture, laws across the country at this stage. Ireland became a very powerful country too around 5th-8th century as the Irish monasteries was the place for people across europe to go to be educated and this is why the Vikings raided the rich monastries so much in the 9th century. Ireland also invaded counties around this time like as you can see in the video western scotland and the Isle of man was Irish territory. Not included in the video was the Irish invasion of wales and cornwall in the 5th century. Ireland also owned Iceland at this time but due to the harsh conditions there it was primarily used for monks to hermit instead of people settling there.
MCFC Fan Yes Ireland had a strange union. It was united but at the same time not united. Hence why Diarmait Mac Murchadha solicited help from the King Henry II of England who refused and then from Earl of Pembroke (Strongbow) who accepted without Henry’s permission.
@@britopia1341 Diarmait didnt do that to unite Ireland, he did it only to regain his throne as king of Leinster. Interesting that king henry II, rejected the request from Diarmait, though. The High-King of Ireland at the time, Ruidarí O'Conchubair, was a very good high-king as well and was undisputed high king of Ireland, like brian boru. He ruled all of connacht and had Lienster, breifne, ossory and meath, strongly part of his High-Kingship. Submissions from thommond and desmond ment he was high-king of all of Ireland except for a portion of ulster but since they did not reject Ruaidarí's Ruaidarí's High-Kingship or put forward their own candidate for high-king this ment Ruaidarí was completly undisputed as high-king bu the time of the english/anglo-norman invasion and he even led an army of 60,000 men to push the english from west-meath back to dublin. He was the last high-king of Ireland and abdicated his position to become a monk.
MCFC Fan You’ve misinterpreted me. I’m not saying he did it to unite Ireland. I’m saying Ireland was already shaky (i.e united but not totally united). Yes King Henry II refused. He had too much on his plate. This opened the door for Strongbow who pretty much went to Ireland behind Henrys back. Once Strongbow plans were kicking in Henry II sanctioned it. But then that meant Henry had to then send his own force. Henry couldn’t afford to let Strongbow gain too much power and influence as it meant there’d be a new kid on the block and a new rival. Thus began the troubles.
Really great video. My only criticism would be the population estimates for medieval England - there's a lot of scholarly dispute (almost all contemporary records for population only record heads of household, and family sizes would have varied widely), but its generally agreed that between 1086 (Domesday Book) and 1279 (the Hundred Rolls - which some might say was a kind of second Domesday Book) the population of England increased from about 1.75 million to somewhere between 4.4 million (most conservative estimate) and 6 million (most liberal). So over the course of the twelfth and 13th centuries the population more than doubled, if not trebled, with the most rapid growth taking place in the 13th century as that was when peak agricultural expansion/ intensification was reached. Recent scholarship has also generally shown that the Black Death was deadlier and more demographically disruptive than a fair number of 20th century scholars thought, killing at least half the population of England and, with the changed economic situation that followed it (higher wages, decline of villeinage that sort of thing) led to people marrying later and having fewer children and so England's demographic recovery was very slow. Though we really do lack concrete figures, its generally agreed that the population of England in 1500 was around 2.1 million, not 3 million as shown in the video, with population growth not really kicking until the 1520s, after which it happened very rapidly - by 1600, the population had almost doubled to around 4.1 million.
Yes under 4 million is untenable for England in 1300-1350. I also have doubts that the Dark age demographic decline continued into the Christian Anglo-Saxon and Viking period. United England in 1000 BCE having less/roughly the same population as divided and largely chiefdom-dominated Celtic England? BTW, shouldn't higher wages mean people marry earlier? Also I imagine the war of the roses also slowed growth.
@@g-rexsaurus794 I agree with most of what you said, except that the War of the Roses had a negligible effect on the population. Four or five large pitched battles (and half-a-dozen smaller ones) spread across a quarter of a century, resulting in well under 100,000 deaths, isn't going to make much difference.
Initially, the Anglo-Saxons were pretty much confined to the east coast. But in the sixth century, Britain was hit by a number of plagues and a climatic downturn, as can be seen in the population decline at around this time. It's possible that the Romano-Britons were hit worse by the plagues because they maintained their trading routes with the Romans, while the Anglo-Saxons mainly traded across the north sea. Either way, the latest genetic testing of ancient graves has suggested that the Anglo-Saxon migrations continued into the seventh century, which would have strengthened their numbers in the east and allowed them to expand westward more easily. The DNA of modern East Anglia is very close to that found in Anglo-Saxon era burials, while that of Wales and northwestern England is closer to that of Iron Age and Roman burials, which demonstrates that the impact of the Anglo-Saxon migrations differed a lot across England--in their core areas in the southeast they constituted a majority, but in more peripheral areas they ruled over the Britons.

"English" is a language, not a nation or a race. The language spread on the east coast because it faces our new Germanic and Norse trading partners. It is a pidgin invented to facilitate trade, news and travel in the Baltic region. The earliest work in English is set in Sweden. The main eastern centre for centuries was Edinburgh. As it spreads (much later) it acquires Roman-British phonetics (because the British people who adopted it carried on pronouncing letters the way they were used to) and it turns into "Middle English". For centuries, anyone who could speak english WAS english, because that is all it meant. The "anglo saxon invasion" is a myth. "England" is a myth.
@@D.A.99740 Some people desperately want to believe in "race" where all that really exists is perpetual division and unification. Languages are invented by those who need to communicate with strangers, therefore they are evidence of our cultural diversity not uniformity. This is surely self-evident.
Small note, but some may argue that Owain Glyndŵr reclaimed a significant amount of Wales c. 1400, which would perhaps merit a different dynastic colour and attribution in the key?
Some minor errors: Macbeth was a member of the House of Moray, not the House of Dunkeld. Carrick was part of Galloway during parts of Dunkeld period. Queen Anne was a member of House of Stuart. Both rulers should be shown during times of co-rule, so both Mary II and William III should be shown between 1689 and 1694.
And so much chaos, Anglo-Saxons who replaced most of the original Celtic populations, Vikings who were much more brutal, and finally Normans. I can imagine the constant warfare in a rainy medieval Realm.
Prins van Oranje the Anglo saxons ,vikings and Norman were actually the same people, all from the Germanic tribes, but arrived to England in different times.
@@markhenley3097 How the fuck were the vikings MORE brutal then the Anglo-Saxons? The DEFINING CHARACTERISTIC of the Anglo-Saxons is their massacres and genocide of the local celtic population to completely replace them! Even the vikings werent this cruel! A Celtic person in Anglo-Saxon kingdoms was equivalent to a Jew in Nazi Germany!
What a wonderful learning tool. One could read for days on days to collate and understand the information so nicely illustrated in this great video. I wish such things were available when I was in school back in the 50's.
Britain has such a rich story, last kingdoms resisting with all their efforts, unity against a common enemy, heroes and villains.... I admire it so much.
Its a fascinating history , many do not understand or appreciate how Parliament , the right to vote, which was gradually expanded to whole population and individual liberies such as common law improved overtime to promote equality and innovation that benefitted the world
Could you do Oceania like you did the Caribbean? You don't have any Oceania videos and the Caribbean one was honestly one of your best imo it was so detailed with every tiny island and everything. I would love an Oceania one in the style of the Caribbean video and it wouldn't even be that hard probably the easiest continent to map since nothing really happened up until the late 1800s.
I mean, the Vikings had shattered Anglo-Saxon rule in Mercia, and there were no recognized kings there at that point. Alfred just married off his daughter to the most powerful person he could find in the region to stabilize things.
That's what I was thinking. I was wondering where that representation was. And also, I don't think it's fair to just label it all as "United Kingdom" because we are separate countries and that should be represented imo.
@@andrewmccloud8581 When talking about the history of the British Isles, it's important to make a distinction. We have different histories that yes, sometimes overlap, but if you want to do a timelapse video like this justice, you need to make distinctions between the different countries in order to give every country's history the attention it deserves. Forgetting Owain is just one example of how lumping us together in this video isn't helpful.
@@xotbirdox Except the overlap here is that we are currently one nation and have been for three hundred years. The Glyndwr's Rising is a separate matter, it was a rebellion; not a constituent state of a nation being represented. Colouring in the map differently doesn't qualify as doing justice to different people or cultures. "Forgetting Owain is just one example of how lumping us together in this video isn't helpful". The rebellion took place three hundred years prior to the Acts of the Union, so I'm not sure if we were really 'lumped together' at this time. You say it is not helpful, but I imagine a considerable amount of confusion would be caused if the Principality of Wales was a different colour to England, who held the area at the time. That is not how these videos are made. The reason the United Kingdom is in this video and not the constituent states is because we share a royal family, a government, laws, and piles of legislation corroborating the inception of the United Kingdom. Everyone watching this knows from the video that these countries came together to form the UK, we don't need to separate them, it'd be more confusing.
@@andrewmccloud8581 We're not one country. We're 4, 5 if you count Cornwall but they unfortunately are not officially recognised in the way that everyone else is. There's a reason it's called the *United* Kingdom because it's meant to be a union of countries, not one country. Wales isn't a principality, it's a country. England had illegally annexed us at the time of Owain and Owain and his followers' uprising should have been portrayed because it was Wales attempting to gain independence. It's important to a history video. We haven't been unbreakably the UK for hundreds of years like you might think, there has been plenty of back and forth, rebellions, close calls, etc. Wales hasn't been a principality since the 1500s but nowhere is that represented either. Wales had no say in the Acts of Union of Scotland and England either because England had illegal control of us without our consent. As for today, we have different governments, different laws, etc. We are a union of 4-5 countries, not one country called the UK. For example, England stupidly lifted all COVID restrictions today but a mask and social distancing are still required in Wales. Wales' vaccine drive is miles ahead of the rest of the UK bc our NHS is an entirely different organisation to the NHSes of England, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. We are all different, we are all countries in our own right, and that should be represented. As I'm sure you've guessed, I'm a supporter of Welsh independence but despite the bias, my point still stands. England is not Wales, Wales is not England, and the same goes for Scotland and NI too. We all differ and, especially when showing the history of these isles, that should be made clear, and EVERY uprising, riot, and/or bid for independence should be shown bc otherwise, I don't see it as accurate tbh.
The English bring turmoil wherever they go. They split Ireland and they split (Israel/Palestine).Not to mention, the millions they murdered and raped all over the world. May God bring peace and balance to the whole world.
Great video. Amazing how long Gwenavia stood strong and was only ever assimilated and not conquered. Is also equally amazing how quickly power has changed hands in the las 200 years
I love your videos! I was confused when I saw the island of Lundy under the flag of the Republic of Salé, but after researching I now know why that happened lol
What I find fascinating is that in 554CE looking at the southwest of England, compare those borders the that of the Modern Day Cornwall, Devon, Somerset and Dorset. It’s unbelievably similar almost 1500 years later!
Beetlejuice at the moment I'm neither in favour of against. I just want honesty from the SNP and Tories regarding it, after that I would make my mind up. If there was a referendum tomorrow I probably would vote yes.
It looks like a small island just below wales was invaded by them and then occupied for a year... weird. wonder if people from that isle have any Arab blood leftover from Morroccan settlers.... there needs to be more research done on this.
Very interesting and informative. But you're missing a couple of things in my opinion. From a Welsh point of view it skips the Glyndwr rebellion/war during the period 1400 to 1415, during which period (roughly 1402 to 1407) Wales was defacto independent. Also seeing as this is a territorial history I think it would be great to show a recognition of devolution from 1999 with maybe a different shade of colour for Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland and showing the First Ministers of each over the last 24 years as it does for the UK and Irish Prime Ministers. Just a suggestion. Keep up the good work!
Watch the documentary 536 - The Worst Year in History. The first outbreak of the bubonic plague, known also as the Plague of Justinian, hit the British Isles via Wales and Cornwall as they were still trading with the Roman/Byzantine Empire. It's considered a factor in how the Anglo-Saxons were able to defeat the Celts.

What do you mean we havent? Making English the first global language, bringing half the world into the modern era, starting the Industrial Revolution and inventing most things in the world. At least our expansion didnt kill 40 million people around the world and cause the global population to shrink for the first time in history( the mongols). We didnt have a Timurlane. We didnt have a Hitler.
Alternate history: The Roman governor of Britannia declares independence from the rest of the empire and forms the independent Kingdom of Britons and marry a Celtic Briton woman forming a dynasty that'll rule the Kingdom for centuries and Roman Latin mixes with Celtic Briton making a brand new language that'll be spoken by the USA when Briton forms the British Empire.
Khedive Abbas Hilmi II of Egypt you have to consider things like culture when accounting for things of this nature, history isn't just "Britain was always meant to conquer India" it was a whole series of events and circumstances leading up to that point

The British Isles population density in 1776 is similar to that of the contiguous United States population density in 2020. Back then in the late 18th century the British Isles have around 13,221,047 people.
There was a drop in the English population around the time that the Vikings appeared, and again a drop in population because of the bubonic plague.

@@DavBlc7 Pretty unlikely.
i think most people in scotland are educated enough to realise leaving the UK wont give them any more freedom. they will just be even more at the beck and call of london because they wont be able to do anything without them.
a huge portion of scottish trade comes through mainland england and you really dont want to be leaving the union because all that will happen is london will start to completely ignore scotland and cover it in Tarriffs untill its economy is dead. scotland just doesn't have the population figures to establish its own trade networks.

Its interesting to see that the Irish High Kingship lasted nearly 700 years.
Charles Ball It lasted a lot longer then that. QE2 is the high king (queen) of Ireland. Of course that’s not recognised by the RoI though.
Ireland first unified roughly 4th century at the latest but the dates arent certain.
Ireland had a strange government system with a High King at the top and beneath him there were 5 provinces with a petty king who controlled the land in their province. Then there was lots of small cheiftens inside these provincs who kept control of there small area of land. And there was no royal family either for the High King, if a small cheiften defeated other small cheiftens in infighting wars ( which often happened ), the chieftan could rise to petty king of the province and then High King if the 4 other petty kings submitted to him.
Ireland at this time had the same langage, culture, laws across the country at this stage.
Ireland became a very powerful country too around 5th-8th century as the Irish monasteries was the place for people across europe to go to be educated and this is why the Vikings raided the rich monastries so much in the 9th century.
Ireland also invaded counties around this time like as you can see in the video western scotland and the Isle of man was Irish territory.
Not included in the video was the Irish invasion of wales and cornwall in the 5th century. Ireland also owned Iceland at this time but due to the harsh conditions there it was primarily used for monks to hermit instead of people settling there.
MCFC Fan Yes Ireland had a strange union. It was united but at the same time not united. Hence why Diarmait Mac Murchadha solicited help from the King Henry II of England who refused and then from Earl of Pembroke (Strongbow) who accepted without Henry’s permission.
@@britopia1341 Diarmait didnt do that to unite Ireland, he did it only to regain his throne as king of Leinster.
Interesting that king henry II, rejected the request from Diarmait, though.
The High-King of Ireland at the time, Ruidarí O'Conchubair, was a very good high-king as well and was undisputed high king of Ireland, like brian boru.
He ruled all of connacht and had Lienster, breifne, ossory and meath, strongly part of his High-Kingship.
Submissions from thommond and desmond ment he was high-king of all of Ireland except for a portion of ulster but since they did not reject Ruaidarí's Ruaidarí's High-Kingship or put forward their own candidate for high-king this ment Ruaidarí was completly undisputed as high-king bu the time of the english/anglo-norman invasion and he even led an army of 60,000 men to push the english from west-meath back to dublin.
He was the last high-king of Ireland and abdicated his position to become a monk.
MCFC Fan You’ve misinterpreted me. I’m not saying he did it to unite Ireland. I’m saying Ireland was already shaky (i.e united but not totally united). Yes King Henry II refused. He had too much on his plate. This opened the door for Strongbow who pretty much went to Ireland behind Henrys back. Once Strongbow plans were kicking in Henry II sanctioned it. But then that meant Henry had to then send his own force. Henry couldn’t afford to let Strongbow gain too much power and influence as it meant there’d be a new kid on the block and a new rival. Thus began the troubles.
Really great video. My only criticism would be the population estimates for medieval England - there's a lot of scholarly dispute (almost all contemporary records for population only record heads of household, and family sizes would have varied widely), but its generally agreed that between 1086 (Domesday Book) and 1279 (the Hundred Rolls - which some might say was a kind of second Domesday Book) the population of England increased from about 1.75 million to somewhere between 4.4 million (most conservative estimate) and 6 million (most liberal). So over the course of the twelfth and 13th centuries the population more than doubled, if not trebled, with the most rapid growth taking place in the 13th century as that was when peak agricultural expansion/ intensification was reached. Recent scholarship has also generally shown that the Black Death was deadlier and more demographically disruptive than a fair number of 20th century scholars thought, killing at least half the population of England and, with the changed economic situation that followed it (higher wages, decline of villeinage that sort of thing) led to people marrying later and having fewer children and so England's demographic recovery was very slow. Though we really do lack concrete figures, its generally agreed that the population of England in 1500 was around 2.1 million, not 3 million as shown in the video, with population growth not really kicking until the 1520s, after which it happened very rapidly - by 1600, the population had almost doubled to around 4.1 million.
Yes under 4 million is untenable for England in 1300-1350. I also have doubts that the Dark age demographic decline continued into the Christian Anglo-Saxon and Viking period. United England in 1000 BCE having less/roughly the same population as divided and largely chiefdom-dominated Celtic England?
BTW, shouldn't higher wages mean people marry earlier? Also I imagine the war of the roses also slowed growth.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demography_of_England
@@g-rexsaurus794 I agree with most of what you said, except that the War of the Roses had a negligible effect on the population. Four or five large pitched battles (and half-a-dozen smaller ones) spread across a quarter of a century, resulting in well under 100,000 deaths, isn't going to make much difference.
I wonder what figures were used for this video. I believe Russell estimated 3.7 million pre black death.
what I didn't understand was why the population of England was falling during the Anglo-Saxon migration/invasion?
Initially, the Anglo-Saxons were pretty much confined to the east coast. But in the sixth century, Britain was hit by a number of plagues and a climatic downturn, as can be seen in the population decline at around this time. It's possible that the Romano-Britons were hit worse by the plagues because they maintained their trading routes with the Romans, while the Anglo-Saxons mainly traded across the north sea. Either way, the latest genetic testing of ancient graves has suggested that the Anglo-Saxon migrations continued into the seventh century, which would have strengthened their numbers in the east and allowed them to expand westward more easily. The DNA of modern East Anglia is very close to that found in Anglo-Saxon era burials, while that of Wales and northwestern England is closer to that of Iron Age and Roman burials, which demonstrates that the impact of the Anglo-Saxon migrations differed a lot across England--in their core areas in the southeast they constituted a majority, but in more peripheral areas they ruled over the Britons.

"English" is a language, not a nation or a race. The language spread on the east coast because it faces our new Germanic and Norse trading partners. It is a pidgin invented to facilitate trade, news and travel in the Baltic region. The earliest work in English is set in Sweden. The main eastern centre for centuries was Edinburgh. As it spreads (much later) it acquires Roman-British phonetics (because the British people who adopted it carried on pronouncing letters the way they were used to) and it turns into "Middle English". For centuries, anyone who could speak english WAS english, because that is all it meant. The "anglo saxon invasion" is a myth. "England" is a myth.
@@kubhlaikhan2015 That theory was insane to begin with and has been utterly discredited by ancient DNA research published a couple of months ago.
@@D.A.99740 Some people desperately want to believe in "race" where all that really exists is perpetual division and unification. Languages are invented by those who need to communicate with strangers, therefore they are evidence of our cultural diversity not uniformity. This is surely self-evident.

wow! Kudos! information dense! Well presented!
Small note, but some may argue that Owain Glyndŵr reclaimed a significant amount of Wales c. 1400, which would perhaps merit a different dynastic colour and attribution in the key?
He included the Glyndŵr Rising in his first version of this video, I don't know why there's no evidence of it here
Really awesome video! I can't get the music out of my head though

Some minor errors:
Macbeth was a member of the House of Moray, not the House of Dunkeld.
Carrick was part of Galloway during parts of Dunkeld period.
Queen Anne was a member of House of Stuart.
Both rulers should be shown during times of co-rule, so both Mary II and William III should be shown between 1689 and 1694.

And so much chaos, Anglo-Saxons who replaced most of the original Celtic populations, Vikings who were much more brutal, and finally Normans. I can imagine the constant warfare in a rainy medieval Realm.

You forgot Owain Glyndwr's rebellion 1399 - 1415
That's what I was thinking. I was wondering where that representation was. And also, I don't think it's fair to just label it all as "United Kingdom" because we are separate countries and that should be represented imo.
@@xotbirdox it is fair. that's what we are called on the world stage
@@andrewmccloud8581 When talking about the history of the British Isles, it's important to make a distinction. We have different histories that yes, sometimes overlap, but if you want to do a timelapse video like this justice, you need to make distinctions between the different countries in order to give every country's history the attention it deserves. Forgetting Owain is just one example of how lumping us together in this video isn't helpful.
@@xotbirdox Except the overlap here is that we are currently one nation and have been for three hundred years. The Glyndwr's Rising is a separate matter, it was a rebellion; not a constituent state of a nation being represented. Colouring in the map differently doesn't qualify as doing justice to different people or cultures.
"Forgetting Owain is just one example of how lumping us together in this video isn't helpful". The rebellion took place three hundred years prior to the Acts of the Union, so I'm not sure if we were really 'lumped together' at this time. You say it is not helpful, but I imagine a considerable amount of confusion would be caused if the Principality of Wales was a different colour to England, who held the area at the time. That is not how these videos are made. The reason the United Kingdom is in this video and not the constituent states is because we share a royal family, a government, laws, and piles of legislation corroborating the inception of the United Kingdom. Everyone watching this knows from the video that these countries came together to form the UK, we don't need to separate them, it'd be more confusing.
@@andrewmccloud8581 We're not one country. We're 4, 5 if you count Cornwall but they unfortunately
are not officially recognised in the way that everyone else is. There's a reason it's called the *United* Kingdom because it's meant to be a union of countries, not one country. Wales isn't a principality, it's a country. England had illegally annexed us at the time of Owain and Owain and his followers' uprising should have been portrayed because it was Wales attempting to gain independence. It's important to a history video. We haven't been unbreakably the UK for hundreds of years like you might think, there has been plenty of back and forth, rebellions, close calls, etc. Wales hasn't been a principality since the 1500s but nowhere is that represented either. Wales had no say in the Acts of Union of Scotland and England either because England had illegal control of us without our consent. As for today, we have different governments, different laws, etc. We are a union of 4-5 countries, not one country called the UK. For example, England stupidly lifted all COVID restrictions today but a mask and social distancing are still required in Wales. Wales' vaccine drive is miles ahead of the rest of the UK bc our NHS is an entirely different organisation to the NHSes of England, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. We are all different, we are all countries in our own right, and that should be represented. As I'm sure you've guessed, I'm a supporter of Welsh independence but despite the bias, my point still stands. England is not Wales, Wales is not England, and the same goes for Scotland and NI too. We all differ and, especially when showing the history of these isles, that should be made clear, and EVERY uprising, riot, and/or bid for independence should be shown bc otherwise, I don't see it as accurate tbh.
My god this deserves so much more views. I think the music fits very well with the video

Very interesting and informative. But you're missing a couple of things in my opinion. From a Welsh point of view it skips the Glyndwr rebellion/war during the period 1400 to 1415, during which period (roughly 1402 to 1407) Wales was defacto independent. Also seeing as this is a territorial history I think it would be great to show a recognition of devolution from 1999 with maybe a different shade of colour for Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland and showing the First Ministers of each over the last 24 years as it does for the UK and Irish Prime Ministers. Just a suggestion. Keep up the good work!
