@@UsefulCharts allright so no way yo view them online then?
@@Destroyer120296 Yes. By watching this video.
@@UsefulCharts well thats the closest i guess. Thanks for the content and hard work
I just got my book a few days ago and I’m so very excited to share this with my friends on camping trips and hopefully with my own children some day! It’s been a pleasure looking at the pictures and reading over the subjects. Made me feel like a kid again
Matt is a great teacher, which is a gift. Another excellent overview of a huge timeline and wealth of information.
Bot comments 😂
The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth surely deserves more than a blurb. We were the first country in Europe to have religious freedom and a Parliament that kept the Monarch in check.
Poor Poland. Overlooked. Overrun. Always in an existential crisis in history. At any point in time, does Poland exist or does it not? Who could say? 😅
The Polish-Lithusnisn Commonwealth has ended up fairly badly understood in the West, especially in the Americas. It's largely a result of the Cold War, it seems. The same goes for the Bulgars, Romania, and Hungary. I suspect it's just a result of the fact that Western bloc historians were not conducting much research in Warsaw pact countries for many decades.
Why this hasn't been repaired yet, however, is a mystery.
You were part of that country? You were the country?
@@FedeFGneither British people alive today did the things in the timeline, nor Italians French or Germans. All those people in the timeline are dead. How is this a reason not to include Polish history lol
@@marcobelli6856 I never said they did. But the person I'm answering talked about the past using "we". I don't care of which country is she talking about.
UsefulCharts, awesome video keep up the great content
One of the best history videos I've seen. Very well structured.
Love that you included Florence Nightingale on the chart even if she didn't make it into the video. Quite the influencial figure on science, or more specificially statistics and modern medicine.
I just want to say that I love your work. Extraordinary, dude! Please continue :) (and I have everything [book and posters] from your site up to the beginning of this year) I love them all! Thanks again for the great contribution to the world, that is your work!
A masterpiece, so dense and yet so accessible
I like the way you kept the 100 years at equal intervals (no compression of time). I do prefer the AD vs CE though.
What an absolutely exceptional chart! Congratulations to the designers!
Nice, as a Pole for me it will be nice to include in this poster that WE ARE BACK :D
Who is back?
@@charliedegiulio9951 Poland, because time line ends with partitioning of Poland but it was not the end.
@@DGronki They have another chart about European history. You should check that one.
He also erased Portugal... lol
I LOVE THIS CHANNEL!
What an amazing chart and book.
I'm going to order the book and at least 1 chart, if not more! It's wonderful to have such a knowledgeable person put together a book and charts to bring history alive, and to be able to see events from all over regions and the world for a better handle of what went on and where, worldwide.
I may get my granddaughter a copy as well. It would be great if schools picked up the charts and the book as well. This brings history alive and makes it far more interesting!
Your book sounds like a treasure for history lovers!
Good job with this video! I want to point out that the Slavs did not arrive from Asia, but from Eastern Europe (around modern-day Ukraine and Belarus). Also, The First Bulgarian empire lasted for much longer than you show in the chart. It is founded in 681 by refugees from the former Old Great Bulgaria and was annexed in 1018 by East Rome. There is also the second Bulgarian empire which lasted from 1185 - 1396/1422.
I just ordered my chart I'm so excited, 🎉🎉
I would also add about the almost complete Ottoman, and what would have probably been Islamic expansion into Europe, stopped by the Kingdom of Poland (+ HRE)
Stopped at the Battle of Vienna 12 Sept 1683, its also noted as the largest cavalry charge in history
As well as casually being the turning point of a 300 year struggle between the Ottomans and the Austrian Habsburg
I'd say pretty significant in European history
The book looks amazing though!
More so stopped by the HRE helped by the kingdom of Poland.
@@sebe2255 Why? The polish charge was decisive there.
@@alekm5646 Because Poles didn’t eveb make up a majority of the relief army, most were troops from the Empire. And they weren’t even the first in the charge
UsefulCharts, Your videos are fantastic! I just had to subscribe!
Such great depiction of all important things .. quick in hand data and information ... So thankful to you for creating these
I have been watching your videos for ages now and I am currently in Vancouver for a few months so I am definitely coming for a visit to the store!
One small change I'd make for the Dutch Republic is to begin their existence around 1588, because the reason the Netherlands so quickly dominated the spice trade was because Portugal and Spain were united. This made it so the Dutch weren't only fighting the Spanish, but also the Portuguese, thus giving the Dutch a reason to take over the trading posts and colonies established by the Portuguese.
Poland doesn't exist anymore, I didn't know... 😢
Portugal also evaporated into thin air....
what a useful chart! I can't believe that I find this channel so late.

6:53 Slavs and Avars from Asia?! Since when?
You have made many videos on different civilizations and people all over the world and they are all interesting. Could you include the Sami culture in Sapmi, northern Scandinavia and Russia. I think it would complement the Germanic culture and how Scandinavia was populated!
Gotta admit this video really did come when I least expected it. I knew it would be a while with the widening gap between individual releases in this series, and then especially after he remastered the Asia video with Rackam I literally stopped thinking about it after a while.
Have you considered a European distributor? With digital printing as it is it shouldn’t be too difficult to arrange. I’d love to buy some of your charts, but the shipping from the USA is ridiculously expensive. I can’t justify spending more on shipping that charts actually cost.
Damn loved this
There is something weird going on, that makes it looks like Austria hungary survived until WWII
Thanks for the wonderful chart and great explanation. One thing I'd like to say is that at 14:49, Dutch war of Independence was during 1566~1648. So the [Dutch Republic] begins one hundred years earlier than this chart. And the Dutch Golden Age is during mid-1600s and is to be before the War of the Spanish Succession. One of the reason of the decline of the Dutch Golden Age is thought to be the Dutch involvement of the War of the Spanish succession. So after the War of the Spanish Succession, Dutch Republic existed for a while but its influence was greatly diminished.
Can you do a family tree for the Queen's corgis?
Very good.
Slavs however don't belong to group of those migrating from Asia.
It's about the same time (Actually Avars made the push to move Slavs) but their place of origin is on the border of current Belarus and Ukraine.
Far from Asia, yet place often overlooked
You actually have the blue vs orange map - and there where those two population end on the East - Balts (north) ans Slavs (center) lived
If you like this, check out "Chronology of the World" by Isaac Asimov (famous for his science fiction writing).
Awesome video and chart. Just One correction though.
Louis XVI of France was not the grandson of Louis XIV (the sun king). Louis XIV outlived his heir and HIS heir and was followed by his great-grandson Louis XV, who also outlived his heir, to be followed by his grandson Louis XVI (who was killed in the french revolution).
So it's a total of not three but six generations.
Also: thanks for including the little detail of the two separated parts of Germany. It was an "interesting" century for us xD
Great work! Thanks!
Fascinating, thank you. CJ
You’re awesome
Thank you 😊
Is a history of science timeline on usefulcharts? I search but not found what i look for. I am interested in how science appeared as we know it today and who and when contributed to its development. I am also interested in a parallel with the discoveries and researchers from ancient China.
I wish you were shipping to other places besides Canada and the US :(
In any case, i love your videos so much!
Today we had a company hang out, and a group of us were talking about history. At some point, i mentioned your channel, and people subscribed immediately :)
I would love a chart of European cultures from the paleolithic aurignacian culture to the bronze age minoans. If that is to large of a time span you could start in the neolithic with the Yamnaya, EEF and WHG.
mmm... Polish lack of reappearance doesn't make sense. Moreover it's line should be bit more prominent... almost like France's
(I am not Polish, just considering it from point of its prominence in Europe)
2:35 I have never seen a more confusing wipe, lol. You "return" to the future, by moving up the page (on which the direction of time is down) while wiping,
Great!
However, the Slavs didn't arrive from Asia. They formed in the Danube or the Dnieper region that are wholly in Europe.
You’ve neglected to mention the 12th Century Renaissance in Iberia.
I thought it was interesting that you failed to mention Ireland at all when your section title was Britain/Ireland it makes it seem like they existed together until Irish independence mentioned at the bottom. Also, Scotland just appears out of nowhere without mention of previous civilizations like the Picts.
These overviews of history are so compelling! I am mostly interested in the global and European timelines--the ones I find engaging in light of my ethnic heritage and my current intellectual interests. I understand history soooo much better by beginning with a birds-eye summary. And I deeply resent the perforated patchwork, ahistorical hopscotch, mortally censored mess called history we were given from about 5th grade through 12th (ages 10 to 18). We were farcically expected to see some sequential logic in this story, shredded-and-taped-into-brain-glazing incoherence though it was.
Only now, 63 years later, am I stumbling through an organized chronicity with conterminous geography, offering the scaffolding of this thing I now treasure--An understanding of civilization.
I still long to fill in many details--but this no-nonsense outline, even in its brevity, offers a grasp of origins, salient milestones, watersheds of great import and moments of pivotal change. I can tell myself, anyway, which meanings are concordant with which developments, and what future purposes can be wrought of history's grand sweep of endeavors, events, ideas, disasters and achievements. It's a journey that could actually head toward a happy ending, at least if people of good will win the day, and we're not collateral in the ambitions of Putin, Xi Jinpeng, Trump, Assad or Lukashenko.
Turks indeed had a decisive role in triggering historical major events like the Migration Period, Crusades, Age of Discovery as well as ending the Middle Ages with the conquest of Constantinople, fall of the Eastern Roman Empire.
12:45 I know it’s a bit picky, but during the bubonic plague the speculation is around a third than half of the population. I know it differs from 20 to 50 million people, even so the most historians assume it’s around 20-25 million people and about the third of the population at that time.
Very cool stuff! recover soon!
Would be nice to see one like this of the continent America (north and south)
What a great visualization of one of the most important areas in human history. You cover so much in such a little space.
Europe is mid + Asia better + Ratio + Cope
@@ericktellez7632 You can't beat the Western influence on the rest of the world and no other area comes close. But yes, other areas of the world have some better things than the West.
@@BillGreenAZ “western influence” it’s only the USA and not Europe. Cope.
@@ericktellez7632 LOL! No problem coping here. I was referring also to Europe before the USA became so influential. I guess I didn't make that clear.
@@ericktellez7632 "Asia" remains a western invention, a European concept, much like "Europe". At least Europe can be considered one single civilisation, while Asia has several different civilisations that have nothing to do with each other (people in the middle east are closer in terms of civilisation and even ethnicity to people from Europe, than they are to people in China). So the comparison is unfair to begin with. Europe can be fairly compared with a cultural area such as the Indian sub-continent, or such as east-Asia, but not the whole Asia which is basically just the Eurasian landmass minus Europe.
So good 🔥
Interesting charts!
good work
Where is Portugal after 1640 to this date? Portuguese came to become the 3rd most spoken European language as a native language. I think this chart made a monumental mistake, even by Anglo Saxon standard. Please CORRECT the chart!
I love how the history of Rome just seems like a small part of european history with everything else going on. And I am going insane making the roman succession tree. My life is consumed by it right now ^^'
So useful!!
Technically Norway was Mostly independent from 1814 Sweden-Norway was Just on foreign policy. something which Norwegian politicians at the time hated the end of the union with Sweden started when Norway tried to start up their own consulates in the 1880s. Military was independent from the Swedish military.
My wife got me the book for Father’s Day. I recommend it for anyone watching these videos.
This is so unrelated but when I play football manager, i manage AS Roma.
My goal is turn this club into a Dynasty. Dominating European football, just like the Roman Empire dominated Europe.
I call it the “Roman Empire” challenge.
My copy is winging its way across the ocean to Wales as you speak!
One quick note: the Roman Empire in the east lasted until 1453 when Constantinople fell to the Turks. The reason I say this is the term Byzantine Empire was unknown to those living in the eastern Roman Empire. Even up the fall of Constantinople they would never have called or considered themselves to Byzantine, they were Roman.
Italy was unified in 1861, not 1871. In 1866 joined Veneto and in 1870 Rome. But the union was in '61.
A small correction: Rurik was either not a Scandinavian, or he did not exist at all, since Rus was mentioned long before the 9th century
The Rurikid dynasty was of Germanic Viking origin :-)
@@papazataklaattiranimam no, this is not. Byzantine emperors already in the 7th Vela indicated that Slavic Rus existed. That is, German Russia never existed
@@albertixthegreat792 Slavic dynasty of Germanic origin
@@papazataklaattiranimam not German origin, it was Slavic origin
@@papazataklaattiranimam I am anti normanist
*1861 for Italy, 1871 for Germany
One big problem, you do not tie up Rus with Vikings/Norse which is the same, Rus came from Roslagen/Roden (little north of Stockholm)
It's not a big problem. These charts are just basic overviews of more major powers. The chart would be too messy if you included every little thing. Alot of nations came and went. While moving around/crossing with others and so on. It would need alot of lines going everywhere. xD
@@MeldinX2 Removing what Rus people are is pretty big, I understand you as well.
I agree, Rus Vikings are as important as the Normans in Normandie.
@@reineh3477 How does connecting their ruling class to a different region matter that much? It is not like the Rus were majority Scandinavian, or that the Normans were majority Norwegian
I'm sorry, what? Louis XVI was not Louis XIV's grandson, they're like 5 generations apart.
Please make more Who Wrote the Bible? videos! For instance, one on the Samaritan Torah (more akin to the Book of Mormon video for that though).
Good video
3:05 IUU wouldn't have EVER guessed Gaul was Modern Day France! I watched a Civ VI vid and saw what looked like a Celtic/Irish leader. His name was Amiborix and until this video, didn't know that but seeing his name now, I get why. Thanks UC for this discovery
Gaul wasn't technically France but they are the oldest living ancestors definetly. :)
@@tonyhawk94 Oh? So I was right?
The gauls were celtic people. It probably remains the main ancestry of white french people, but later the roman and germanic (Frank) ancestry is also significant. So French people from the middle ages until the early 20th century were a mix between mainly Gaulish, Roman (southern half) and Germanic (northern half) influences.
This book and the mini charts look amazing! Just put it in my Amazon cart!
id really like to see you do a video on the Pitcairn islands and how they decent from the mutineers of the bounty
There's also the European history poster chart, which also covers European history.
I have a question relating to lines of successions. What if a King has twins. They would be both the oldest descendant of the monarch. Who would legally inherit the throne if the king dies and didn't have the time to appoint a successor? Thanks.
Finno- Ugric tribes according to Herodotus were indigenous people in land of modern Moscowy 500 BCE- 1240 AD --> After Mongol-Tatar horde invasion it was "Ulus of Jochi" 1242-1502 AD --> Tsardom of Moscowy 1547-1721 AD --> Russian empire 1721-1917 AD --> USSR 1922-1991 AD --> russian federation 1991
Correct me if I’m wrong but he said Louis the 16th was the grandson of Louis the 14th which isn’t true. Louis the 15th was the great grandson of Louis the 14th and the grandfather of the 16th
I have been meaning to buy your limited edition British Royal family tree, but I've been hesitating because I wondered if it might be updated with King Charles III?
If not, I intend to get it anyway, but I didn't want to miss my chance to have an up-to-date one.
14:08: It's probably a mistake to omit Austria's _Anschluss_ (q.v. @Wikipedia), which while undone upon the defeat of Nazi Germany, wasn't all that fleeting but of significant political consequence - and of course Hitler was actually Austrian (first).
Kievan Rus and Kingdom of Ruthenia just slipped into first prince of Moscow und eventually Russia. impressive
Wasn't the Rus formed primarily by Norsemen?
Switzerland and Liechtenstein simply did not give a shit in all of these.
In the guitar world there's two different shape cutaways, mostly identifiable on the les Paul. The florentine and the Venetian. Do you know any stories about the stringed instrument rivalry that went on between these states at this time?
Why did the line of Portugal ended after the Iberian union? The way its done makes it seem like Portugal no longer exists.
I understand that space is important, but other smaller countries are still there.
I thought a group of Norse people were the settlers/founders of the Kiev Rus kingdom.
Portugal as one of the oldest countries does not make it to the end.
I wish you delivered to Australia :(
Thanks for another great video. Does your book being shipped worldwide or just to Europe or North America?
Bro, did you just show Portugal getting absorbed by Spain and not becoming Independent ? 😭😭😭😭
Portuguese history deserves at the very minimum a little line there.
Portugal does not exist, it is fake news.
And he liked the comment “RIP Portugal”....Fucking hell!
UsefulCharts, You're fantastic! Let's be friends and have fun!
12:19: "Norweigan" is a typo. The correct spelling is Norwegian.
Hi, this chart is a great job.
Just a little correction : Louis XVI, who was the king during the French Revolution was not the Grand-son of Louis XIV but his great-great-great-grand son : Louis XV was the great-grand son of Louis XIV, and Louis XVI was the grand-son of Louis XV... Anyway Louis XVI was the direct descendant of Louis XIV....
Love your videos :). What software do you use to make family trees? I would like to make my own but there are so many of them and couldn’t find one that fits me. Thank you.
He already made a video on that:
ruclips.net/video/YBul-0jhSGE/видео.html
The tool is LibreOffice Draw.
You said the French Revolution occurred during the reign of Louis XIV's grandson. Well, no. Although Louis XVI was the second king who came after Louis XIV, he was the grandson of Louis XV, who in turn was the great-grandson of Louis XIV. So this means that Louis XVI was the great-great-great-grandson of Louis XIV. I'm pretty sure you already knew that, you probably just got carried away.
Right! Good point.
25$ chart costing 51$ for shipping...🥺
Children of only rich can afford to pay 76$ for 1 chart.😩

Whats your Source for the first Habsbuger King ?I am living in a City that was esthabilished 1296 as a free Reichsstadt (Self-Governance Rights) by Rudolf the first from Habsburg, if you have book you could recommend id love it. thanks for this Video great Work
Ignoring Eastern Europe is a fatal flaw if you covet a holistic understanding of history.
