the Teutons did take over all of the area it showed in the video, the Livonians became a sort of puppet state soon after, and it split in the early 1400s IIRC

Suibhne The berlin wall was NOT built to protect the people in West Berlin from the communist East Germany, but it was built by the DDR (East Germany) to stop people fleeing from DDR to cross the border to West berlin and fly to West Germany from there.
I still don't understand why Germany was blamed for ww1. WW2 of course, but ww1? Wasn't it Austria who pushed for war and Germany was just an ally of them so they had to join in?
But we didn't start it as everybody always says. I wish German school would teach more than just ww2. We learn a great deal about that, but almost everything else stays a mystery Thanks for the reply
Don't know what school you went to but we discussed WW1 and its causes in length. And yeah, Germany didn't start WW1, it just contributed to its cause as many other powers did.
FruitySurprise All powers of that time wanted the war. But only germany was blamed for that. Even today most people think about the bad germans and the good french , britains etc.
Reason why its Neutral is because during the early 19th Century, a Neutrality pack after the Napoleonic wars was in placed. Switzerland continues to this day in following the pack. There is no reason to invade it in ether world wars because the Civilians of Switzerland (Those who been in the army) Get to keep their guns. Also Countries have little to gain from invading Switzerland due to it being a country based on trade and it being a land locked country. With the Added Bonus that the Swiss Alps covers the Land scrap practically from all sides so Massive amounts of invading Troops practically could freeze to death or get lost on the mountain. Switzerland also Fortified some regions with Anti Aircraft Guns and Cannons so it would make it even more difficult to invade. In the end, Its not worth it because Diverting such resources to attack the small land locked nation could affectedly hurt the enemy's victory in the war.

@Josef Lagleder that is a good point, however the thirty years war wiped out 65% of the German population. 65%! It is true that it didn't change any borders, and kind of counts as a civil that included Sweden and France, but I think it is still worth mentioning.....
@@emelianenko4025 dont forget france surrenderd to Germany in six weeks 😂. Also Germany wasnt a unified country back then. Also also stop using Smileys.
+Guerrero I'm no expert, but as I recall, the assassination forced Germany's hand. Due to their allegiances and the condition of their allegiances, they were forced to act and come to the aid of other countries they happened to be allied with, it's just Germany was the strongest of that alliance and therefore the front runner, so of course they were the most memorable force. It's also important to note the Treaty of Versailles was absolutely fucking bullshit, (if I recall correctly, it even sought to "cap" their economic growth so they can't become too powerful) so it's actually quite understandable why the Germans were so pissed off about it and how it helped set the stage for someone like Hitler to actually be heard. In that sense, while they were definitely the aggressors of WWII, the constraints of the Treaty of Versailles absolutely did not help in preventing further conflict.
I'm just going to write the whole history down as I recall it. the Balkan areas already were at a high-risk state because of the Ottoman Empire, and every European State more-or-less despised the Empire. Especially the Slavic people wanted to detach form the Empire. Serbia wanted a big serbian Empire, but that also included the serbians which lived in Austria-Hungary. 1908 turkish Officers rebelled against the Sultan and Austria-Hungary annexed Bosnia and Herzegovina. Because of that Serbia saw Austria-Hungary as an Enemy and threated Austria-Hungary with war. Russia also felt attacked, because of their interests, but Germany warned Russia not to help Serbia. Now we come to the assassination. The aspiration of Serbia to have a big Empire always annoyed Austria-Hungary and with the assassination of the Prince they had a good reason to settle the score with Serbia. Germany didn't think that Russia would get involved in that matter and they gave Austria-Hungary full discretionary power. Austria-Hungary then sent Serbia an ultimatum: Among other things Austrian-Hungarian officials should get involved with the investigations of the assassination. Serbia didn't want that the officials of Austria-Hungary get involved and because of that Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia. Russia, against the speculations of Germany, helped Serbia. Germany then declared war on Russia and France, being the allies of Russia. At start of the war Germany immediately assaulted the neutral Belgium to defeat France from North. That assault on Belgium was the cause for Great Britain to join the war on the side of France and Russia. I think Germany is called key aggressor because of the immediate assault on Belgium
Was it? There was a brief plan to unite the German states as a new empire by the Frankfurt Paulskirche parliament right after that but Prussia didn't go with it. What united Germany was Prussia greatly expanding and taking the opportunity of a war against a foreign aggressor to bestow a sense of community among most German states.
I saw a man whom he tells coming from Germany and he is very friendly with us.He came to my contry for study Thai language.Just want to say "thank you"that he is interested in our language. Welcome to Thailand. :)
well,.. Germany knew they would be fucked up if a other Nation Strikes first in WW1 so they had to take the first move, because they were already surrounded and needed to get a fast victory at one side. well did not work tho
germany doesn't have a history of 1000 years.. maybe all of the german speaking people "share" a history that long.. up until it merges back together with related languages unless you are referring to nazi propaganda and nationalist ideas
holy roman emperor you mean.. there was no german nation until.. 1815? early 19th century atleast.. the fact that you took the "german" and put it in front of a nation's name doesn't mean that nation has a history of a thousand years.. it means the people living in it might.. that's nationalist bullshit
The reason why poles call Germany “Niemcy” is not because of the lots of smaller regions in Germany. Niemcy comes from word “Niemy” with means Muted/somebody who’s not talking. And the history of it is the fact than German language was really hard to understand and for us it Sounds like two muted people try to talk each other. Even word “Niemcy” you can understand like a group of muted people.
to be honest...your polish....for ma as a german..sounds to me like russian, slowakian, bla bla...what ever...everything is just a whole..SLWA...PRUTSCHTRNOVA...whatever...and you dare to citisize the german language? :-D
@@GTA.Sven.Andreas this comment is a year old so i hope u know better by know, but he can definitely bring this up, German is difficult for many (obviously there are more difficult languages tho)
This is really great for the most part. The one part you could have addressed a bit more was the failed German revolution 1830-1840. That period of our history is often glossed over but it is essentially where all the troubles that eventually let to WW1 and WW2 originally started.
In german "the great migration period" is actually called "Völkerwanderung" which translates to something like "migration of the peoples". So our historians are a little more creative.
“Völkerwanderung“ in German doesn’t only refer to “the great migration period“ described in this video. It can mean migration from any nation to another place.
no..... they had a common goal with germany. there is a diffrence between operation barborosa(german invasion of ussr) and the continuation war (finland vs ussr). both had a commun enemie but finland never did join the axis power
Not really allies, they didnt sign the tripartite pact, they just took advantage of the situation in the USSR, and when the Germans started to lose they declared war in them
I agree, for anyone who doesn't understand the Weimar Republic I can only encourage them to learn about Otto Dix art during that time, he was one of the harshest critics of that era, it's a shame the nazis put him in a gallery for "degenerate art". I can sympathize and understand the Nazis and I don't know what I would've done in their shoes, but many of the things they did to their own people was horrible. And of course there mass murderings were horrible too.

sure, i'm sorry if I offended you about the world wars, but the 20th century was meant to be the german century if you guys did everything alright, but anyway, Germany rocks, 4 world cups, one of the best standards of living, the best engineering, and the best beer....
The only thing people, who write things like "Germany... is now Islamic" under every video where Germany is even briefly mentioned and without any context, achieve, is to annoy the shit out of everyone. Honestly, cut the crap
I don't even think Islamists hate Germans themselves. This has all come about because Germany has supported Israel, and continues to pay reparations to the Jews.
how to fixs germany 1. stop paying isreal. the current generation has no blame. and isreal is not the jewish people 2. stop immigration. for the sake of economie and peoples will. stop importing low cost labour 3. be proud of what you did and learn from you mistakes. don't self hate. 4. get leader who seek a better future for the countrie. not leaders who push there ideals
I agree, Germany isn't islamic. Yet. Give it three decades with the current rate of demographic replacement, and maybe you'll begin to understand why people felt the need to warn others of this evolution back in 2016. Reversing this trend is only going to get harder the more muslims there is.
@God Is Alive viele unterschätzen die deutsche Geschichte und mich regt es so auf wenn Leute wegen unnötiger scheiße auswandern wollen wie wegen Weed rauchen oder so. In Deutschland geht es uns so gut!
It's a nice little vid about the history of Germany. You could obviously include much more than that, but you tried to cover 2000 years of history in a few minutes. But you made one minor mistake: When you showed the raise of nationalism in Germany after the Napoleon, the flags should be black red gold or gold red black. Just look up the pictures of the "Hambacher Fest" or the german revolution 1848.
Though...when i remember correctly it was Gold->Red-> Black back then and then they swaped and so on...in the end it was kind of an mess of flags since there were also flags wich rather look like these from sweden and norway. Im happy he took the Imperial one...it looks nice and its not even that wrong... It would be way worse if he took the imperial flag for nazi germany...wich do quite alot of people for some stupid reason
It had to be a name The people didn't imagined a "Kaiserreich", when they dreamed of a unified Germany in that time, though. This is the reason why I think this part gives a wrong impression of the motives of the people. The Kaiserreich itself stand for colonialism as well, just to give one example. And the actual design of the flags were not that important, it was just the beginning of nationalism in Germany after all.
Jupp James Well look at the time he took to explain more or less 2000 years...could´ve been worse and i don´t think many peopel payed attention to that anyway
carlowilhelm X actually Alsace and Lorraine are two different regions, but Strasbourg is in the area of course. Just wanna make some precisions, Germany didn't take the entire Lorraine region, only a part of it named "Moselle"
as german, i am so SICK of only hearing about nazi germany. yes, it is important to know about it to prevent something like this happening again in the future, but bitch please. i think of my twelve years in school and the eight years of it we had history classes in, six years were dedicated to nazi germany and the two world wars.
At my school only the second semester of class 9 and the first semester in class 12 were dedicated to Nazi Germany. The rest was French Revolution, Industrialization, Napoleon, Bismark, WW1, 20s, Hitler + WW2, East- & West Germany including Cold War + its end. "Wiedervereinigung"
Maddox Cindy In 20something BBY the Umbaran senator was assassinated, and the new senator joined the CIS, they were well armed and pretty much won the Republic in the battle of Umbara, as the Republic took very heavy casualties.
The Berlin wall was made to keep people INSIDE East Germany, not to keep people out of the west side or out of the east side. Everybody and their grandmother wanted to leave the east.
+A. Soldier actually it was to keep East Germans out of West Berlin. West Berlin was completely surrounded by East Germany and they wanted to stop East Germans from going into West Berlin
You realize you literally just said the same thing twice? "The wall was made to keep people IN East Berlin/Germany" "The wall was made to keep people OUT OF West Berlin/Germany" They're one and the same.
I am not very good with history but... In my opinion, Germany has the most history for a nation only been here for 200-2050. England, France, Italy etc had a big history but spanning about 500+ years. Good job Germany, you were just a crippling nation 100 years ago, then was divided and Finally became unified just 30 years ago and now a major global superpower, economically and diplomacy
@Nutella Dip Yes, there was. The HRE consisted of 3 nominal kingdoms: Germany, Italy and Arles each with their own chancellory. The crowned emperors bore the title of "king in Germany" until the very end in 1806. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_of_Germany
What a great job!!! Even as a German it is often difficult for me to remember and keep track of all the complexities of our history, but this summarized it so neatly. :) Love the graphics too! Subscribed and will share.
The German Kaiser was also trying to extend his borders and possibly annex austria at the end of the war. And we haven't even talk about the colonial empire prussia had, and their intentions to conquer English Africans states.
Errico Martina Germany wanting to absorb Austria is nothing new. Austria was always the sick man of the two and was doomed to fall whether the Central Powers won or not. Austria and Bohemia would've became part of the German Empire, and Hungary would retain its lands and would ally with Germany.
Mi Wi Yes because they were really late to that game as in the time of colonization by France, UK or of course Spain and Portugal, Germany wasn’t its own state so yeah that’s why

Finland not really, they briefly worked together, against Stalin, but they had little to no sympathy for the axis and did not went further, after they reconquered the territories they had lost in the Winter War, plus unlike the totalitarian axis powers they were democraic. Soviet Russia also worked together with Germany against Poland, but that did not make it an axis power.
Lord Fartquad Definitely not. They defended Morocco against the Americans in the operation torch, they sent hundrets of volunteers to fight against the Soviets, they defended Madagascar and theytold their best engineers and scientist to collaborate with the nazis.
Friede Freude Apfelstrudel Yeah, the only time they took an active part in the fighting was when they were attacked; they still never declared war on the allies.

Nairam10 a man who lets his wife get fucked by other men is the literal definition but as of today it has been more commonly used as an insult for people who let bad things happen that are against their best interests for stupid reasons. like flooding your country with rapists and criminals because "muh diversity is strength"
fuckakakaka Everybody trying to fuck my wife is fucking with me also. So if someone would try to rape her - I'd kill him. Rapists deserve no second chance or mercy at all. They gave up there right to be accepted as a human being in the very moment they tried the abuse. Death is the only acceptable way of treatment.
You forgot the franco-prussian war, the event in history that directly lead to the formation of the German Empire and its annexation of Alsace-lorraine
True but that could have happened without the war as well. It was just that Bismarck could use the euphoric atmosphere after a victory against Germans' supposed archenemies to expand the already existing North German Confederation.

Retardeano Technically Eastern (Byzantine) Rome since the Roman Empire devided in two before Western Rome fell in 410 AD. It's quite amazing how the history of the empire after 410 isn't very often discussed.
One could argue that after the Ottoman's conquered The Byzantine Empire, they became the successors of Rome, and since Turkey succeeded the Ottomans, Turkey is the modern day successor of Rome.
I am from Germany and i just want to say: good job :) it is a very high quality and very good presented. But wasn't there 3 fights/wars to unite Germany? 1 against France. 1 against Austria and 1 against Denmark? Sorry if i am wrong.
+unNamed you are correct but warfare is just a bit more complicated. Wars generally never have just one goal or motivation. Most are just terrible and have 99% unintended consequences. #verybiasedopinion
I remember, that Prussia fought Austria, than France to united Germany on this way and at least they fought Denmark for some Territory in Schleswig-Holstein
+Steve obviosuly. 'Socialism' and 'National Socialism' are not the same thing. Just because they have the word socialism in them. They are two vastly different ideologies who use a word to convey a meaning. The word socialism isn't inherently linked to once specific guideline of political meaning.
It was deliberately named something akin to "Liberal Conservative Nija Pirate Robot Party" (ie a bunch of mutually exclusive qualifiers) to attract the ignorant masses. Yo Average Nazi party voter was either uneducated or newly rendered poor due to the great depression, spanish flu etc. (quite like the average Trump voter) - they never had that huge of a majority but the rest of the system was too unstable and too busy with infighting that they couldn't contain the loons. That's why when they drafted the new constitution after the war they made sure it was as close to foolproof as they could get, perhaps going a bit overboard in a way that disadvantaged small parties in order to keep out fringe groups and prevent a super fractured parliament.

Very good video, but after the "treaty of versailles" the "Reichsmark" started to inflate, which was stopped in 1923 by the "Rentenmark" and in the "Weimarer Republic" (Germany) the golden twenties began. After that in 1923 because of the "Black Friday" a world economic crisis started. Then because of the money the US and other countries lend to germans they wanted it back as fast as possible. Thats why machines were sold and employees were fired. In connection with the savings policy by Brüning the people started to elect extremist parties like the NSDAP of Adolf Hitler because they were poor and mad. After the death of "von Hindenburg" (president) and Hitler as an chancellor he started the "Machtergreifung" and germany were made into a dictatorship. To sum up I just wanted to say the "treaty of versailles" wasn't the reason of the political change in 1933. (Sorry for the bad english it's not my mother tongue).
Pointing out a mistake - The Romanian Principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia are indicated as part of Austria (Austro-Hungarian Empire) in the period around 1804-1866, and this is incorect - until 1877-1878, the suzeran empire of those states was the Otoman Empire (and, sometimes, the Rusian Empire apeared as "Protective Power"), and after that, they become independent (Romania) - only parts of the present day Romania (such as Transilvania, and part of Bucovina) had been controled at that time by the dual monarchy of Austria and Hungary
That's a pretty narrow view on history heavily influenced by today's existence of national states. The HRE was never a state with a central government or such. Austria had a much closer history with its today's eastern neighbors starting in 1526. In that year the habsburgs became kings of Bohemia (present day Czech repbulic) and kings of Hungary (present day Hungary, Slovakia, Croatia, parts of Romania, Serbia and Ukraine) also 1526's Archduchy of Austria included most parts of today's Slovenia and South Tyrol.This association lasted till 1918 and over the centuries became a centralized and bureaucratically ruled state with Vienna being its center. It's interesting but although the Habsburgs were also Emperors of the Holy Roman Empire from 1438 till its end 1806 they never had such a direct rule over the territories inside the HRE, because it was split into hundreds of smaller autonomous duchies and counties and its history is best described by constant opposition from north german protestant dukes against the Habsburg emperors. Today the culture and mentality of Austrians is much closer to their Eastern neighbors. This association of Austria with Germany that so prevails in many peoples' perception is more a result of 19th century German nationalism that rose in the territories of today's Germany (but not in Austria) that claimed all territories of the former HRE for themselves.
+ᚲᛖᚲᛁᛚ ᚺᛟᛚᛇᛏᛖᛁᚾThe modern state came just into being in the end of the 18th century, it is very much connected with the emergence of enlightened absolutist rulers like in Austria Maria Theresia or Joseph II; everything before that can not be considered a state. The HRE was never united in any sense close to modern national states and also not "German" in a modern sense. It is by contrast in today's research often stylized as a transnational conglomeration of autonomous territories ruled by dukes or counts not because of their "nationality", culture or "ethnicity" but due to them being nobles. This idea of a "German Empire" in the past and "German people" consisting of a closed group due to their language or culture is an idea that was invented during the 19th century romantic period by poets due to the lack of an actual German state especially when compared to revolutionary France. The German identity was formed out of the opposition towards Napoleon, France and nobles from the territories of the former HRE who collaborated with Napoleon and thereby often changed their language of communication from German to French, but at the same time it also emerged out of admiration for the existence of a territorial France that seemed like an reflection of what these romantic intellectuals wished for Germany to be. In Austria this didn't happen in the beginning of the 19th century, because the german speakers had "their" Austrian Empire, which was of course not a national state but german speakers were privileged in it. For them the therm "German" meant something completely different, it was not an ethnically or culturally understood identity but rather, in the sense of pre-19th century times, German was the identification with a universal-imperial idea. The majority of people of the german speaking part of Austria only came in touch with a national understood german identity when in the first modern census in Austria-Hungary at the end of the 19th century people were asked to identify their nationality. The Austrian national identity was then born in the same fashion as the German one: with the loss of an empire that they felt more and more connected with (like Germans did at the end of the HRE) and "the flirt" and collaboration with a foreign power that seemed to reflect all the actual or alleged glory of the "Austrian's" former empire and at the same time the opposition towards the new rulers who felt more and more like intruders(like the Germans did with the French). It is of no surprise that the resistance movement towards the Nazi regime in Austria called itself O5 (=Ö=Österreich=Austria) and was a movement that included members of all political orientations united by the idea of an Austrian identity. What i want to say: it's true that the modern Austrian identity started coming into existence after World War I, like the German identity was born in the wake of the Napoleonic wars. It was then the 1871 founded German state that can be credited with spreading this identity to its inhabitants through its bureaucracy, its school system and its national mythology and techniques of state representation. In the same sense the Austria state has been doing it after 1945. The Austrians just entered the "national age" so late because of the existence of a state in which they were privileged till 1918: there was simply no need to before 1918. National movements always arise from political opposition towards the ruling environment. Also when it comes to culture, i dont know if you are Austrian or not, but if you are then i would suggest spending some time in the countries of former Habsburg territory. It so surprising how similar in mentality people from there are for example when it comes to work is; also their languages are often including austrian dialect words and their historical narrative often revolves around habsburgs: Cities like Prague, Bratislava, Budapest, Zagreb and also Lviv have districts or as a whole make you feel like you are in vienna, from architecture to a viennese style coffee culture to monuments from Austrian times and a still high regard towards the Habsburg times among the people of those countries. Whereas in Berlin for example there is no connection like this between German and Austrian culture.
you could also say the German identity seems older or "original" because its architects were romantic poets whose stories religiously exaggerated the meaning of Germany and heightened its existence as some kind of historic necessity that needs to be worshiped whereas the architects of the Austrian identity were politicians who rather had the political reality in mind but lacking the romantic mythology
This is so simplified, although you got the corner stones quite rightish. Example: Bavarians were not a Germanic tribe known to the romans, there is a notion opf celtic tribes settling in the area of southern germany and austria known as the Boiern, first written acknowledgement as Bajowarjōz in the 6th century or so...those tribes were nothing like homogenous populations, but remnants of celtic tribes, roman population, eastern european and as most as northenrn african invasions
+Max Aggropop it's meant to be a summary but I have considered it. From now on most country episodes will be over 4 mins. This was mostly an experiment ://
summary is good, but even when you choose the cornerstones...what are they? if you take the wrong ones(and what are those?) your video can feed extremist positions

Regnal names are generally given in the respective variants when referring them in a certain language. In German it's "Karl" while in English and French it's Charles, in Spanish Carlos, Italian Carlo etc. Even today this tradition continues. Queen Elizabeth II is in German "Elisabeth". Her son Prince Charles as king would be "Karl" as well in German unless he would take another name like his grandfather did.

I guess Switzerland will be the most boring:
WW1: nothing
WW2: nothing
After WW2: nothing
and being neutral about everything :D
Reason why its Neutral is because during the early 19th Century, a Neutrality pack after the Napoleonic wars was in placed. Switzerland continues to this day in following the pack. There is no reason to invade it in ether world wars because the Civilians of Switzerland (Those who been in the army) Get to keep their guns. Also Countries have little to gain from invading Switzerland due to it being a country based on trade and it being a land locked country. With the Added Bonus that the Swiss Alps covers the Land scrap practically from all sides so Massive amounts of invading Troops practically could freeze to death or get lost on the mountain. Switzerland also Fortified some regions with Anti Aircraft Guns and Cannons so it would make it even more difficult to invade. In the end, Its not worth it because Diverting such resources to attack the small land locked nation could affectedly hurt the enemy's victory in the war.

Germany was "key aggressor" in ww1? Someone must've read English(/American) history books as a kid...
+1
american here, what really happened then?
+Guerrero I'm no expert, but as I recall, the assassination forced Germany's hand. Due to their allegiances and the condition of their allegiances, they were forced to act and come to the aid of other countries they happened to be allied with, it's just Germany was the strongest of that alliance and therefore the front runner, so of course they were the most memorable force.
It's also important to note the Treaty of Versailles was absolutely fucking bullshit, (if I recall correctly, it even sought to "cap" their economic growth so they can't become too powerful) so it's actually quite understandable why the Germans were so pissed off about it and how it helped set the stage for someone like Hitler to actually be heard. In that sense, while they were definitely the aggressors of WWII, the constraints of the Treaty of Versailles absolutely did not help in preventing further conflict.
I'm just going to write the whole history down as I recall it.
the Balkan areas already were at a high-risk state because of the Ottoman Empire, and every European State more-or-less despised the Empire. Especially the Slavic people wanted to detach form the Empire. Serbia wanted a big serbian Empire, but that also included the serbians which lived in Austria-Hungary. 1908 turkish Officers rebelled against the Sultan and Austria-Hungary annexed Bosnia and Herzegovina. Because of that Serbia saw Austria-Hungary as an Enemy and threated Austria-Hungary with war. Russia also felt attacked, because of their interests, but Germany warned Russia not to help Serbia. Now we come to the assassination. The aspiration of Serbia to have a big Empire always annoyed Austria-Hungary and with the assassination of the Prince they had a good reason to settle the score with Serbia. Germany didn't think that Russia would get involved in that matter and they gave Austria-Hungary full discretionary power. Austria-Hungary then sent Serbia an ultimatum: Among other things Austrian-Hungarian officials should get involved with the investigations of the assassination. Serbia didn't want that the officials of Austria-Hungary get involved and because of that Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia. Russia, against the speculations of Germany, helped Serbia. Germany then declared war on Russia and France, being the allies of Russia. At start of the war Germany immediately assaulted the neutral Belgium to defeat France from North. That assault on Belgium was the cause for Great Britain to join the war on the side of France and Russia. I think Germany is called key aggressor because of the immediate assault on Belgium
Good work, I agree on that.

The failed revolution...
MacX1985 Yeah but it was really important for the uniting later.
Was it? There was a brief plan to unite the German states as a new empire by the Frankfurt Paulskirche parliament right after that but Prussia didn't go with it. What united Germany was Prussia greatly expanding and taking the opportunity of a war against a foreign aggressor to bestow a sense of community among most German states.
MacX1985 Yeah , from this failure, the people learned, that you couldn't unite germany wihtout the executive power.

The reason why poles call Germany “Niemcy” is not because of the lots of smaller regions in Germany.
Niemcy comes from word “Niemy” with means Muted/somebody who’s not talking. And the history of it is the fact than German language was really hard to understand and for us it Sounds like two muted people try to talk each other. Even word “Niemcy” you can understand like a group of muted people.

In german "the great migration period" is actually called "Völkerwanderung" which translates to something like "migration of the peoples". So our historians are a little more creative.
“Völkerwanderung“ in German doesn’t only refer to “the great migration period“ described in this video. It can mean migration from any nation to another place.

that was the darkest stage in German History.
I agree, for anyone who doesn't understand the Weimar Republic I can only encourage them to learn about Otto Dix art during that time, he was one of the harshest critics of that era, it's a shame the nazis put him in a gallery for "degenerate art". I can sympathize and understand the Nazis and I don't know what I would've done in their shoes, but many of the things they did to their own people was horrible.

I don't even think Islamists hate Germans themselves. This has all come about because Germany has supported Israel, and continues to pay reparations to the Jews.
how to fixs germany
1. stop paying isreal. the current generation has no blame. and isreal is not the jewish people
2. stop immigration. for the sake of economie and peoples will. stop importing low cost labour
3. be proud of what you did and learn from you mistakes. don't self hate.
4. get leader who seek a better future for the countrie. not leaders who push there ideals
I agree, Germany isn't islamic. Yet. Give it three decades with the current rate of demographic replacement, and maybe you'll begin to understand why people felt the need to warn others of this evolution back in 2016. Reversing this trend is only going to get harder the more muslims there is.

It's a nice little vid about the history of Germany. You could obviously include much more than that, but you tried to cover 2000 years of history in a few minutes. But you made one minor mistake: When you showed the raise of nationalism in Germany after the Napoleon, the flags should be black red gold or gold red black. Just look up the pictures of the "Hambacher Fest" or the german revolution 1848.
+Jupp James yeah I noticed the mistake soon after uploading. I used the German Empire flag but it should have been the other one. My bad
Though...when i remember correctly it was Gold->Red-> Black back then and then they swaped and so on...in the end it was kind of an mess of flags since there were also flags wich rather look like these from sweden and norway.
Im happy he took the Imperial one...it looks nice and its not even that wrong...
It would be way worse if he took the imperial flag for nazi germany...wich do quite alot of people for some stupid reason
It had to be a name The people didn't imagined a "Kaiserreich", when they dreamed of a unified Germany in that time, though. This is the reason why I think this part gives a wrong impression of the motives of the people. The Kaiserreich itself stand for colonialism as well, just to give one example. And the actual design of the flags were not that important, it was just the beginning of nationalism in Germany after all.
Jupp James
Well look at the time he took to explain more or less 2000 years...could´ve been worse and i don´t think many peopel payed attention to that anyway

In my opinion, Germany has the most history for a nation only been here for 200-2050. England, France, Italy etc had a big history but spanning about 500+ years. Good job Germany, you were just a crippling nation 100 years ago, then was divided and Finally became unified just 30 years ago and now a major global superpower, economically and diplomacy

The German Kaiser was also trying to extend his borders and possibly annex austria at the end of the war.
And we haven't even talk about the colonial empire prussia had, and their intentions to conquer English Africans states.
Errico Martina Germany wanting to absorb Austria is nothing new. Austria was always the sick man of the two and was doomed to fall whether the Central Powers won or not. Austria and Bohemia would've became part of the German Empire, and Hungary would retain its lands and would ally with Germany.

Retardeano Technically Eastern (Byzantine) Rome since the Roman Empire devided in two before Western Rome fell in 410 AD. It's quite amazing how the history of the empire after 410 isn't very often discussed.
Ethan Shreve Thats what I ment. And still there is no real successor of the western empire.
One could argue that after the Ottoman's conquered The Byzantine Empire, they became the successors of Rome, and since Turkey succeeded the Ottomans, Turkey is the modern day successor of Rome.
***** Thats pure bullshit.
I am from Germany and i just want to say: good job :) it is a very high quality and very good presented. But wasn't there 3 fights/wars to unite Germany? 1 against France. 1 against Austria and 1 against Denmark? Sorry if i am wrong.
+unNamed you are correct but warfare is just a bit more complicated. Wars generally never have just one goal or motivation. Most are just terrible and have 99% unintended consequences. #verybiasedopinion
I remember, that Prussia fought Austria, than France to united Germany on this way and at least they fought Denmark for some Territory in Schleswig-Holstein
Holy roman empire was like a federation of German and Italian states,duchies, counties,and electorate states
By the end, yes. At the beginning is functioned as a feudal monarchy

Ironically, Hitler's national socialist party wasn't very socialist
+Steve obviosuly. 'Socialism' and 'National Socialism' are not the same thing. Just because they have the word socialism in them. They are two vastly different ideologies who use a word to convey a meaning. The word socialism isn't inherently linked to once specific guideline of political meaning.
That's cause it was a Nationalist Socialist part, not a Socialist Party. The word on its own means something different.
But it was very good at marketing. They are both nationalist and socialist. Brilliant!
It was deliberately named something akin to "Liberal Conservative Nija Pirate Robot Party" (ie a bunch of mutually exclusive qualifiers) to attract the ignorant masses. Yo Average Nazi party voter was either uneducated or newly rendered poor due to the great depression, spanish flu etc. (quite like the average Trump voter) - they never had that huge of a majority but the rest of the system was too unstable and too busy with infighting that they couldn't contain the loons.
That's why when they drafted the new constitution after the war they made sure it was as close to foolproof as they could get, perhaps going a bit overboard in a way that disadvantaged small parties in order to keep out fringe groups and prevent a super fractured parliament.
Please explain how the Nazi party “wasn’t very socialist “.
Great video. Only thing missing would be the 30 years war 1618-48 i guess.
Had this vide on my watch later list for ages, you earned a subscriber mate!
Man, 4 minutes is way too short. It should be at least 6-7 minutes especially for a country as big as Germany. Good job though anyways, liked and subscribed.

***** Thanks! Just some topic suggestions: Thirty Years War, difference between Salian/Ripuarian Franks, Saxon Wars, Ostsiedlung (eastward migration), and there was also a lot of German involvement in the Baltic crusades. I will try to share your work!
BAVARIA !!
pretty sad that everyone only focuses on WW1 and WW2 germany. medieval germany was much more fascinating.
For real
Deutschland ist halt einfach geil

Lost two world wars, lost hessians in the revolution, country was divided for a long time, and yet still, they manage to be the most wealthiest economy in Europe.-respect
Very good video, but after the "treaty of versailles" the "Reichsmark" started to inflate, which was stopped in 1923 by the "Rentenmark" and in the "Weimarer Republic" (Germany) the golden twenties began. After that in 1923 because of the "Black Friday" a world economic crisis started. Then because of the money the US and other countries lend to germans they wanted it back as fast as possible. Thats why machines were sold and employees were fired. In connection with the savings policy by Brüning the people started to elect extremist parties like the NSDAP of Adolf Hitler because they were poor and mad. After the death of "von Hindenburg" (president) and Hitler as an chancellor he started the "Machtergreifung" and germany were made into a dictatorship.
To sum up I just wanted to say the "treaty of versailles" wasn't the reason of the political change in 1933.
(Sorry for the bad english it's not my mother tongue).
Tobias Müller Oh Fuck.. don't start with this shit.. I have to write a test about this topic next monday and I don't know anything about it :(
The world economic crisis was actually in 1929. You're pretty much right about everything else.
Sorry I wrote it accidentally wrong and it was on 5th october 1929 thanks for correcting this mistake. :D
Tobias Müller Yeah. I assumed that was the case.
Now I wanna play Medieval 2 again.

i feel with you
2:42 Excuse me, why is Alzatien and Lotaringen not a part of Germany there?
Pointing out a mistake - The Romanian Principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia are indicated as part of Austria (Austro-Hungarian Empire) in the period around 1804-1866, and this is incorect - until 1877-1878, the suzeran empire of those states was the Otoman Empire (and, sometimes, the Rusian Empire apeared as "Protective Power"), and after that, they become independent (Romania) - only parts of the present day Romania (such as Transilvania, and part of Bucovina) had been controled at that time by the dual monarchy of Austria and Hungary
Danke dafür iBlali
Can you do the same one with Austria pls
That's a pretty narrow view on history heavily influenced by today's existence of national states. The HRE was never a state with a central government or such. Austria had a much closer history with its today's eastern neighbors starting in 1526. In that year the habsburgs became kings of Bohemia (present day Czech repbulic) and kings of Hungary (present day Hungary, Slovakia, Croatia, parts of Romania, Serbia and Ukraine) also 1526's Archduchy of Austria included most parts of today's Slovenia and South Tyrol.This association lasted till 1918 and over the centuries became a centralized and bureaucratically ruled state with Vienna being its center. It's interesting but although the Habsburgs were also Emperors of the Holy Roman Empire from 1438 till its end 1806 they never had such a direct rule over the territories inside the HRE, because it was split into hundreds of smaller autonomous duchies and counties and its history is best described by constant opposition from north german protestant dukes against the Habsburg emperors. Today the culture and mentality of Austrians is much closer to their Eastern neighbors. This association of Austria with Germany that so prevails in many peoples' perception is more a result of 19th century German nationalism that rose in the territories of today's Germany (but not in Austria) that claimed all territories of the former HRE for themselves.
so it would be pretty interesting if they made a video about the history of Austria without the usual national german sentiments
+ᚲᛖᚲᛁᛚ ᚺᛟᛚᛇᛏᛖᛁᚾThe modern state came just into being in the end of the 18th century, it is very much connected with the emergence of enlightened absolutist rulers like in Austria Maria Theresia or Joseph II; everything before that can not be considered a state. The HRE was never united in any sense close to modern national states and also not "German" in a modern sense. It is by contrast in today's research often stylized as a transnational conglomeration of autonomous territories ruled by dukes or counts not because of their "nationality", culture or "ethnicity" but due to them being nobles.
This idea of a "German Empire" in the past and "German people" consisting of a closed group due to their language or culture is an idea that was invented during the 19th century romantic period by poets due to the lack of an actual German state especially when compared to revolutionary France. The German identity was formed out of the opposition towards Napoleon, France and nobles from the territories of the former HRE who collaborated with Napoleon and thereby often changed their language of communication from German to French, but at the same time it also emerged out of admiration for the existence of a territorial France that seemed like an reflection of what these romantic intellectuals wished for Germany to be.
In Austria this didn't happen in the beginning of the 19th century, because the german speakers had "their" Austrian Empire, which was of course not a national state but german speakers were privileged in it. For them the therm "German" meant something completely different, it was not an ethnically or culturally understood identity but rather, in the sense of pre-19th century times, German was the identification with a universal-imperial idea. The majority of people of the german speaking part of Austria only came in touch with a national understood german identity when in the first modern census in Austria-Hungary at the end of the 19th century people were asked to identify their nationality.
The Austrian national identity was then born in the same fashion as the German one: with the loss of an empire that they felt more and more connected with (like Germans did at the end of the HRE) and "the flirt" and collaboration with a foreign power that seemed to reflect all the actual or alleged glory of the "Austrian's" former empire and at the same time the opposition towards the new rulers who felt more and more like intruders(like the Germans did with the French). It is of no surprise that the resistance movement towards the Nazi regime in Austria called itself O5 (=Ö=Österreich=Austria) and was a movement that included members of all political orientations united by the idea of an Austrian identity.
What i want to say: it's true that the modern Austrian identity started coming into existence after World War I, like the German identity was born in the wake of the Napoleonic wars. It was then the 1871 founded German state that can be credited with spreading this identity to its inhabitants through its bureaucracy, its school system and its national mythology and techniques of state representation. In the same sense the Austria state has been doing it after 1945. The Austrians just entered the "national age" so late because of the existence of a state in which they were privileged till 1918: there was simply no need to before 1918. National movements always arise from political opposition towards the ruling environment.
Also when it comes to culture, i dont know if you are Austrian or not, but if you are then i would suggest spending some time in the countries of former Habsburg territory. It so surprising how similar in mentality people from there are for example when it comes to work is; also their languages are often including austrian dialect words and their historical narrative often revolves around habsburgs: Cities like Prague, Bratislava, Budapest, Zagreb and also Lviv have districts or as a whole make you feel like you are in vienna, from architecture to a viennese style coffee culture to monuments from Austrian times and a still high regard towards the Habsburg times among the people of those countries. Whereas in Berlin for example there is no connection like this between German and Austrian culture.
you could also say the German identity seems older or "original" because its architects were romantic poets whose stories religiously exaggerated the meaning of Germany and heightened its existence as some kind of historic necessity that needs to be worshiped whereas the architects of the Austrian identity were politicians who rather had the political reality in mind but lacking the romantic mythology
Bist du Österreicher?
This is so simplified, although you got the corner stones quite rightish. Example: Bavarians were not a Germanic tribe known to the romans, there is a notion opf celtic tribes settling in the area of southern germany and austria known as the Boiern, first written acknowledgement as Bajowarjōz in the 6th century or so...those tribes were nothing like homogenous populations, but remnants of celtic tribes, roman population, eastern european and as most as northenrn african invasions
+Max Aggropop soz
No need to apologize, just overthink your business modell of explaining complictaed structures in 4 minutes. if you do that, get the facts right
+Max Aggropop it's meant to be a summary but I have considered it. From now on most country episodes will be over 4 mins. This was mostly an experiment ://
summary is good, but even when you choose the cornerstones...what are they? if you take the wrong ones(and what are those?) your video can feed extremist positions
so: a little extra time and research only makes it better
Nice vídeo 🙌🙌
In Germany we have cool words like "Oberfeldmarschall"

LeBronx 41 Können leider nur noch wenige behaupten, die in Deutschland wohnen... Deutschland wurde von den ganzen Flüchtlingen eingenommen...
League x3 Du laberst den größten Mist, den ich je gehört habe. Mir geht es genauso gut wie in 2014 zum Beispiel, oder willst du mir etwa sagen, dass du von Flüchtlingen vergewaltigt wirst?
ayylmao sorry, aber wenn du dich etwas mit der deutschen Politik auseinander setzten würdest, wüsstest du, dass das stimmt. Sonst wäre allein die AfD niemals so weit gekommen.
Aber ich fange keine Diskussion mit jemanden an, der keine Ahnung von etwas hat!:-) Schönen Tag noch!:-)
achja mal so als Tipp, hör dir mal die Meinungen von anderen Länder zu Deutschland an !!;-)
League x3 Isso!! Solche Leute, wie *ayyImao*, sollten einfach, wenn es um die Flüchtlinge geht, die Klappe halten!
Wenn er schon Selbstständig arbeiten gehen würde, würde er die Sache mit den Flüchtlingen mitbekommen! Aber Nein! Hauptsache schön bei Mutti die Brotkrümmel aufessen.
ayylmao Wenn DU keine Ahnung hast, dann lass es einfach.

Do the history of Canada, although it's might be boring.
No Comment - I don’t think itd be boring, it’s quite complex... between indigenous tribes, colonization from mostly France and Britain, events like the expulsions of the Arcadians, later conflicts with the new United States, ... and current political alliances and internal / external struggles.
No Comment A lot of wars happened in Canada because of countries fighting for land in the New World
The interwar great depression period have the most interesting part of history for Canada
ey its not charles its KARL the great (der Große)
Justin Fromm in English they say Charles for some reason
+4ingP WE WUZZ GERMINZ CRACKUSS ?!!

Regnal names are generally given in the respective variants when referring them in a certain language. In German it's "Karl" while in English and French it's Charles, in Spanish Carlos, Italian Carlo etc.
Even today this tradition continues. Queen Elizabeth II is in German "Elisabeth". Her son Prince Charles as king would be "Karl" as well in German unless he would take another name like his grandfather did.
