I mean he is talking about each country's peaks and are talking about their military strength and land expansion at the time or more accurately during their time so that checks out
Nicely done... you've put a lot of work into it. Although I would argue about "was xx military power". For example Poland in 1580 is by some historians (and even on wiki) described as strongest country in the world for 15-25 years. Also loose connection between countries and empires of past (yes, mostly middle east) is as accurate as calling empire of Franks Switzerland's predecessor. Danish empire tenth? Mate they were raiding half of Europe in 6th -11th century. And countries couldn't stop them. I would give them at least 3rd at the time. Also difficult to describe what 1st military in the world means, if it's army size then 90% of civilization history strongest nation would be something in India/China (armies of milions, sometimes above ten, and remember it was long before Europe could muster 10k). So nice material about history of countries but it's quite important to ignore military part most of the time. Just constrictive criticism. Nice job anyway, like from me.
As a world history enthusiast, Qing Empire is indeed in fact the weakest major Chinese empire in relative terms. It was never the most powerful country in the world across any century (at most a 2nd place in the 18th century behind the British Empire), while each of Tang, Han, Ming, Song, and even the far ancient Zhou had all been the strongest global power across at least one century (7th BCE for Zhou; 2nd BCE & 1st BCE for Han; 7th for Tang; 11th & 12th for Song; 15th for Ming). Tang Empire in particular is considered the absolute peak of China by most historians and is arguably the most economically dominant country ever, given that the empire at one point made up 58% of global GDP and holds the record to this day for the country with the largest share of global GDP at any point in human history. Tang was also tremendously dominant militarily (although not as much as the Mongols later) since it’s the first country in history to reach an army size of 1 million personnel, and at its peak circa 660 CE, the territory of Tang proper stretched from the Korean Peninsula in the east, to Uzbekistan’s Fergana Basin in the west, to Vietnam’s Tonkin in the south; and its non-empire-proper territory (protectorate/vassal states) reached as west as Turkmenistan’s Khwarazm + Afghanistan’s Bactria and as north as Russia’s Irkutsk Oblast.
Well the golden age was during the imperial era. Though the soviet union also contributed greatly in science and culture, the cultural achievements in the 19th century shaped Russia the most
Red Russia was strong when, instead of pressing Germany, which lost the Russian Empire on the Eastern Front and having a partite with the Russian Republic due to the internal instability of Russia, left the war, not allowing the country to receive victory cream, giving its possible claims to the territories of Central Powers to dispose of the other countries of the Entente? When did it lose the Soviet-Finnish? When did it put 20 million people in the fight against the Reich, having won the counting of American Lend-Lease? Or when lost to Afghanistan? Or maybe the internal power is to purchase bread from Canada, where there is almost nothing besides ice, unlike the Chernozem of the USSR, when the Russian Empire, in turn, supplied the whole of Europe with grain? Ordinary communist manifantasia. The peak was, of course, the Russian Empire, which was the fastest growing economy of the whole world, and although it lagged behind Western countries, this gap was rapidly reduced, and Russia considered the main contest to many politicians of both the countries of the Central Powers and the Entente.
@@andycook6870, In the days of the Russian Empire, the Finns massively went to work in Petrograd to work with cabs. This even formed several new words in Finnish. Finnish manufacturers gave their oil for Siberian, because it was considered more honorable. At the same time, the finns had their autonomy and were civilized even at that time by the people. It was impossible to imagine an adequate finish that would do something the same in the times of independent Finland and the USSR. The USSR did not improve the situation, the criteria were simply much underestimated what it means to live well and be competent, for example. It was better even in the GDR and Yugoslavia, and from there the goods were valued in the USSR as its weight in gold, not to mention the lag with Western Europe.
Wow the editing on this video is rough, cut off audio, normal tempo to sped up tempo, double voice lines. Usually your videos are edited very well what happened? Were you rushed?
Good video, but I have some complaints for the last two. Poland shown in the video wasn't at its largest extent. And I am not sure if any Austrian would consider Austro-hungary the peak. Creating the dual monarchy was a sign of decline of Austria's power. That might be a stretch too, but maybe Holy Roman Empire was the "peak Austria"? 🤔 (at least when Habsburgs ruled)
As a Brazilian, the period of the first reign was unstable and the second was the "peak" of Brazil, and slavery ended near the end of the monarchy, being the last country to end slavery in the Western world
That declaration in the end is too misunderstood. The western world formally banned slavery, but continued to slave indians and chinese people. If you read Casa Grande Senzala you will see that the slavery in Brazil, although violent, was the least violent in the world, the slave owners were in majority little farmers that worked side by side with their slaves. While having the most slaves traded, Brazil was the country that had best chances of freedom for slaves. So that declaration of the last country to ban slaves is just a formal statement.

Byzantium was offended by the whole world, called itself real Rome, had strict centralization, and appeared as a result of the collapse of someone else's civilization. What Alexander Macedonian did is much more impressive. Suppose, it was Alexander the Great of the Macedonian who brought to Buddhism the images of the Buddha in the form of a man, and the Greek Indian kingdoms will survive there hundreds of years after his death.
It was for several periods of time and in particular places. Obviously when the extremists took over at the end of the 19th century they were very religiously intolerant. Also, while they were religiously intolerant in the Balkans for a lot of the time (20th century was a BIG OOF), they had some periods where they were tolerant. So, really, are we talking about Turanist Ottoman Empire? Abdulhamid's early constitution? Mehmet the Conqueror? Suleman the Magnificent? Sultanate of Women ? So many periods, different attitudes.
Well, for example, the Ottomans were much more toleranin to the Jews than the Arab Islamic states that formed after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire are tolerant. The Jews massively returned to Earth the promised even then, receiving Turkish citizenship.

Before that, Rome was 500 years old. As for the empire, the author wrote everything right. Caesar began the concentration of power in the hands of one person, and by 27, Rome finally became an empire, and the Senate became a decorative organ.
It’s clear that history has been written by the English. The British Empire includes territories without practical domination, with native populations never subdued, such as the center of Australia or almost all of Africa, except for a small central corridor. But in the case of Spain, only territories that, apart from being claimed and legally owned, were heavily colonized are counted, dismissing the Nutca Province populated by Spaniards with almost no English or Russian populations (just because it was disputed), or southern South America, for not having an effective conquest despite multiple treaties that established a condition similar to a protectorate. And, of course, the center of Brazil is discarded despite the multiple Jesuit missions and the establishment of settlements, because of the supposed "lack of truly effective control," even though Spanish control over the Amazon was far greater than British control over 90% of Canada, Australia, or almost all of Africa. Not to mention how Portugal is excluded when, under Philip II, Portugal came under Castilian orbit, not being a “union of equals” as some like to believe, but rather all Portuguese military and foreign policy matters were handled from the Castilian courts (though with autonomy in other matters).
Que esperas de un youtuber que dice que España esclavizó personas (juicios de Valladolid) y en el Imperio Británico ni nombran los esclavos, cuando eran los más esclavistas.
You are both so wrong that I’m not surprised you believe everything is propaganda Do you seriously think that in 1922, when Britain had created railways over a century ago, that they hadn’t actually explored the entirety of claimed land? The absolute irony is that the Spanish and Portuguese claim land that was inhabited by natives and not governed by Spain, literally basing it off of a Treaty with the Pope ignored by other European Powers. Pure eurocentrism It doesn’t surprise me that with such nationalism you’re bitter about Britain being so much larger than “your” (in quotations because you did nothing yourself) empire. You still believe you walked around as saviors spreading Catholicism As for slavery, the Spanish Empire peaked during the slave trade, in which England held exclusive slave trading rights TO SPAIN. So why are you shocked that it’s not mentioned?
The only worthy country that Spain left behind is Argentina. Portugal left Brazil, but would not say that it was a worthy country. The English colonies are the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India, Rhodesia, White South Africa. Think about the difference, and then understand why they know one story well and the other is not.

You’re talking about lands that were still fully inhabited by natives with no Spanish governance. This is eurocentrism as the size is only based upon the absence of other European powers rather than actual control
5:52 for Turkey Ottoman Empire is just wrong. The Gökturk Khaganate or also known as the First Turkic Khaganate by the Ashina Dynasty was the Turks biggest Empire of all with 6 Million square km. Was also the biggest empire at the time with the most powerful and skillfull horseback riding. During its short lived 51 Years in existence they still managed to conquer the whole eurasian step with the use of the horses.
I'd argue that imperial Germany was peak Germany not only was Imperial Germany closer to winning ww1 then nazi Germany was to winning ww2 also imperial Germany wasn't drowning in debt like nazi Germany and imperial Germany was technically bigger if you count its colonies also imperial Germany was scientifically better (I mean that a lot of inventions etc came from there) of course this is just my opinion
I agree with you. The German Empire under Bismarck was actually quite peak! They managed to secure colonies despite being Centuries behind on the colonialism game.
I can assure you that the description about China is completely wrong. It is full of stereotypes and at the same time, it also attaches wrong content. No one in China likes Qing. The Qing Dynasty was also not the pinnacle of Chinese history. The ancient Chinese also did not wear the hat of the Viet Nam.

No, during the renaissance there were various italic powers, not a single one. And even in their best selling points (artworks and culture) they are at best tied to the Roman era.
@@mr.archivity What you call the best selling points were only side effects of the main peculiarity of Italian Renaissance: the birth of capitalism. City states ruled by merchants and bankers who sponsored big architecture works with an economic goal in mind, creating jobs and making money circulate. That made Italian cities filthy rich and advanced as well as hubs for innovation and people like Leonardo da Vinci, Christopher Columbus, Galileo Galilei were all born in that context. That is way more close to modern times than roman times. it is actually the beginning of the modern times. The reference to roman art was just a stylistic choice because, as the Romans, they started to put man at the centre of the Universe not God and to see beauty in the human body. The Renaissance was absolutely a new thing and not Roman times coming back. Also, Italians as a nation were a thing during the Renaissance. We can call Venetians Italians. During Roman times Italians were just the most privileged Roman province, not a nation, not a people.
@@giorgiosnello4167 I agree with what you wrote, I’m not ignorant. But the renaissance, even by being a new thing, referenced back to the Roman times as it started due to the re-introduction of the Roman classics due to the ERE scholars that fled to Italy. So they are related. At the same time the whole Roman period was a golden age for inventions and innovations, schools of thinking, trade and globalization. Not dismissing the ones that happened during the renaissance obviously. That’s why I said that the decision is difficult between the two. The winning point is simply the military might. And I intended Italy as a single political country. I already know Italia was used from Roman era and that it was the _domina provinciarorum_
Wydaje się, że jeśli chodzi o pochodzenie Kolumba, istnieje kilka teorii.

Technically the Macedonian Empire was owned by Macedonia not Greece but Greece was on the first countries to get captured
whats other people think the peak of china: qing dynasty🐉🐉
real peak of china: han dynasty
And where is the rest?
the shoebill photo on the germany part was so random 💀
i think german empire was peak germany if they were in the same era the german empire will be more powerful especially during bismarcks time
I'd argue that imperial Germany was peak Germany not only was Imperial Germany closer to winning ww1 then nazi Germany was to winning ww2 also imperial Germany wasn't drowning in debt like nazi Germany and imperial Germany was technically bigger if you count its colonies also imperial Germany was scientifically better (I mean that a lot of inventions etc came from there) of course this is just my opinion
I agree with you. The German Empire under Bismarck was actually quite peak!
They managed to secure colonies despite being Centuries behind on the colonialism game.
Not to mention its economy was wayyy faster growing, and not reliant on the pillaging of foreign countries.
I like That he is using the belgian national anthem by The Russian Empire😂😂
I didn't think anyone would notice😂
8:40
Syria, no joke with a QR-Code?
The peak form of Brittan would be under my command.
Wasn't the Second French Colonial Empire the peak form of France?
Isnt umayyad caliphate is saudi arabia and not syria?
yes but the syrians and Iraqis are stealing saudi arabia history
well no
the rashadian caliphate was saudi arabia
Oh ok 👍
Polish empire mentioned!!!!!1!1!11!!111 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪
I can assure you that the description about China is completely wrong. It is full of stereotypes and at the same time, it also attaches wrong content. No one in China likes Qing. The Qing Dynasty was also not the pinnacle of Chinese history. The ancient Chinese also did not wear the hat of the Viet Nam. It can be seen that the author is not responsible for the content of the video
Yeah this channel and the guy who run it seem quite unqualified for historical matters tbh....
9:01 the umayyads had more land in algeria morocco and libya than shown on the map
might be the biggest missinput with that picture at 15:23
On part 2 please morrocans empires and tunisia's ancient carthage
I know you have Russia as the 2nd strongest but as of late, they’re the 2nd strongest country in Ukraine
Second Portuguese Empire had a land cover of 5.5 Million km2 ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_empires )
Take a shot every time they say "Strongest Military Power in the World"
As a German I would like to say that Nazi Germany definitely was not the peak of our country
FR, 1st military power lmao. Did he forget about the US?USSR?Even the UK could be placed above, since it was streched thin between the pacific, the mediterranean, and the north Sea, while fighting in north africa and holding on to all its colonies.
@@erwanduclos4210 Nah bro the US became a hard military power after they joined. USSR sucked hard dick and their key for survival was the mass amount of expandable manpower during ww2 (See the war against Finland). It's hard to compare Germany vs. UK tho because their armies never fought each other with their full potential.
9:40 didn't mention that with fall of timurid empire, safavid empire rised bringing Persia back again
I thought Iranians hated safavids because they are a Muslim empire
@@thedstorm8922 no... bro its just modern theocracy republic, making some people atheist (people hate present iran) , but like during Mongol invasions Persians resisted to get any religion except islam
@@Parsmeme
What? Iranians renounced Islam during the mongol invasion?
@@thedstorm8922 no, i think there is a misunderstanding here, in that time mogols tried to bring buddhism or local religions, but Persians had a strong believe on islam...
@@Parsmeme oh ok thanks for explaining it
Common point; they were all the most powerful military in the world
What about the fourth French colonial empire???
11:03 there is nothing we could do…
Where is Sweden?
Umayyad & Abbasid empires were both from the Arabian peninsula exactly from the city of Mecca.
Having the capital moved later on from the city of madinah to Syria then Iraq doesn’t change the fact that the ruling families and parties were from Mecca (Saudi Arabia now)
Educate yourself on the difference between race and ethnicity.
Also geography to relativity.
They are all arabs what are you talking about?
Damn. You named Denmark but not Sweden.
Being "#1 military" on the BC ages is something
But being the #1 during ww1 or ww2 is something wicked
The 18th century is the 1700’s. The voiceover keeps getting his century’s off by 100 years…
Mds, por que gringos nunca acertam o mapa ou a bandeira do Império do Brasil???
6:28 well in acient india buddism and hinduism were not separate religion it was same ashoka also described about hinduism(santan dharma) greatness and untouchability is sociatical thing which present day india has became very less and he made great influence in world by spreading lord budda teachings across world and made sure india's soft power still intact even today in many countrys
6:45 chandragupta cooling glass😂😂
The STRONGEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD
6:25 I love Mustafa kemal memes. Because Its like a ph test paper if you use it in the country. That's how complicated the topic is 😂
Is it the yap dollar speaking?!
i think you did the wrong flag for the peak of the german
The peak of Italy is the Renaissance to be honest
No, during the renaissance there were various italic powers, not a single one. And even in their best selling points (artworks and culture) they are at best tied to the Roman era.
@@mr.archivity What you call the best selling points were only side effects of the main peculiarity of Italian Renaissance: the birth of capitalism. City states ruled by merchants and bankers who sponsored big architecture works with an economic goal in mind, creating jobs and making money circulate. That made Italian cities filthy rich and advanced as well as hubs for innovation and people like Leonardo da Vinci, Christopher Columbus, Galileo Galilei were all born in that context. That is way more close to modern times than roman times. it is actually the beginning of the modern times. The reference to roman art was just a stylistic choice because, as the Romans, they started to put man at the centre of the Universe not God and to see beauty in the human body. The Renaissance was absolutely a new thing and not Roman times coming back.
Also, Italians as a nation were a thing during the Renaissance. We can call Venetians Italians. During Roman times Italians were just the most privileged Roman province, not a nation, not a people.
@@giorgiosnello4167 I agree with what you wrote, I’m not ignorant. But the renaissance, even by being a new thing, referenced back to the Roman times as it started due to the re-introduction of the Roman classics due to the ERE scholars that fled to Italy. So they are related.
At the same time the whole Roman period was a golden age for inventions and innovations, schools of thinking, trade and globalization.
Not dismissing the ones that happened during the renaissance obviously.
That’s why I said that the decision is difficult between the two. The winning point is simply the military might.
And I intended Italy as a single political country. I already know Italia was used from Roman era and that it was the _domina provinciarorum_
why is this just territorial peak and not the country’s actual peak
Phillip the 3rd conker the Greece ;not alexander.
Its conquer
And was the strongest military power in the wooorld!
Damn Wheres Ethiopia? Kingdom of Axums? Ethiopian Empire? and its current state
Saying thr Qing dinasty was the number 1 military power is a stretch to say the least
Am I the only one or do other ballsdex player see he used some of the spawn arts of some history country
am i the only one who hears a lil bit of yapdollar in is voice?
Infact italy is not Rome. Italy took over the land the roman Empire held
I love how memes r relatable
…….. which had an area of over 7.4 million square kilometers
Persia 🇮🇷🦁🤝🏻
8:57 it was actually established after imam al hasan abdicated to stop the war with the ummayads ( although his reign lasted for 6 months )

Wydaje się, że jeśli chodzi o pochodzenie Kolumba, istnieje kilka teorii. Myślę, że ogólnie przyjmuje się, że Kolumb był Włochem, ale są też historycy, którzy twierdzą, że pochodził z Kastylii, Korsyki, a nawet Portugalii. Istnieje nawet teoria, że Kolumb był synem polskiego króla, który udał się na samowygnanie.
Nah the japanese dinosaur experience double extinction
I think that the Soviet Union was an absolute peak of Russia
For Greece, it's the Greek city states and colonies, not the Macedonian Empire
I wouldn't agree, the Greek city states where separated and had unstable border due to continuous conflicts between them.
@@ΑνίκητοςΓιαννούδης indeed
The Russian empire was never the strongest. The strongest was Britiain, Russia was 2nd
Russia was strongest. British needed French and Ottoman help to fight in Crimea
when you create polish-lithuanian commonwealth Why is there no Lithuania you can't put the flags of two countries
you can put the flags of two countries austria and hungary WHY? :(
The peak form of france>the peak form of spain
U forgot Umayyads in spain
Portugal was the strongest empire in the beginning of the 16th century
Não era o mais forte.
No entanto, Portugal tinha a marinha mais forte da época e era o país mais rico do mundo.
@@FanboydoCharmender Derrotaram os Otomanos, os Espanhóis, Marroquinos, etc. muitas vezes em menor número, pode ser sim considerado o mais forte.

Mauryan Empire never got the Tamil Kings though
They never captured their vassal/friendly states. So Tamil was left independent ,or if you read history you're sure what happened in kalinga. Ashoka never cared about conquest and his successors were weaker.
9:54 wtf did sonic do?????
Cool
