Yeah I really like how this channel does the map, nice and bright. My only constructive criticism would beat in some of the earlier videos some countries blue was similar to the sea, at least to my eyes but not in this vid.
I only realised that the channel doesn't have loads of subs O.o the content is legit good with a map that's so nice to follow with. Props on the quality and improvement.
As usual the French always starting stuff. They could have just left Italy alone from the beginning, but NOOO they had to march all the way to Naples and insult everyone along the way.
As a historian myself, I have 1 piece of criticism for this video. After 1492, aragon didn't exist as an independent state/kingdom and didn't have the level of autonomy that you implied in this video. They were 100% annexed into spain by this time, but you constantly mentioned aragon as acting separately from spain during the wars, like they were in a personal union rather than annexed directly but this is not true, it was spain who did all that stuff as a sovereign kingdom and NOT aragon. Other than that,it's a great video. Everyone makes mistakes, and i understand that. Also, i know sources are rare. But that's a serious mistake, in my opinion. Especially since sources proving it are widely available.
it is true one would have to look into the life of queen Isabella of Castille who was dead by 1501 and had long ago already brought Aragon under her control via her marriage with Aragon's King Ferdinand and was also by law first monarch so yes Aragon was not independent when the italian wars started.
As a spaniard i dont agree at %100 with you, before the dead of ferdinand, he ruled aragon and as far as i know both of "catholic kings" ruled their kingdoms separetly, of course the follow the same interest, but both castille and aragon were legaly completly different with differents sistems of ruling, the taxes, laws but with some similarities of course, charles manage to centralize more the power becomimg one ruler but the sistems and the both crowns continued separeted and it wasnt until the bourbon when the dissband the aragons crown legal sistem with the "decreto de nueva planta"
Saying Spain instead of Castile says nothing good about you as a historian. Besides, until Decretos de Nueva Planta (1707-1716) Castile and Aragon were different kingdoms (Crowns actually)
@simarrosaurio as someone with a history and poly sci degree and loves history, I would never preface what I think is a factual statement by stating I am a historian
It is generally agreed by historians who wrote about this era that the Castilian and Aragonese rulers were technically acting on their own with the OK of the union. Under this premise, the kingdom of Naples was a Catalan Aragonese domain not officially claimed by Spain until Hapsburg took over
Thanks, and I'd love to get a picture of these political dynastic changes to the map of this period and add to it the economic picture. It seems that southern Italy continued declining in wealth. The wealth and economic activity of northern Italy began to decline, and Burgundy, Netherlands, Baltic Germans, and England began to dominate.
the problem for italians (at the time we were merchants) was the Otthoman empire that blocked italian trade with East. Someone in Italy started thinking about going west to reach India. The new route of world trade It went from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic, in practice we Italians scored an own goal because we could not have ports on the Atlantic and we did not have boats suitable for sailing in the Ocean. So world trade passes to the nations that overlook the Atlantic, that is, all except us Italians (ahahahahah). These nations should thank us because your wealth is due to an Italian discovery!😅
@giovannibin143 hahaha quite true. Venice was cut off, and it's really quite horrifying how exposed and vulnerable la Serinissima was to the Ottoman. Thanks for pointing out the Atlantic route consequences, a little detail in history books.
And if some of you are still wondering why we Europeans are done with religions and wars... Well, these well documented videos will show you why. Just to point out something very important: Since WW2 there has been an 80-Year peace in Western Europe: because of starting off with the Marshall-plan, forming the Benelux, forming the E.E.G. which all lead to forming the EU and yet despite all of this relatively peace...there have been wars is the Eastern European former Warsaw-pact countries on the Balkan in the 90s and now as we speak in Eastern European Ukraine. This part of the world (Western Europe) has never ever been so long without war, and yet war is taking place in Eastern Europe. So when this infantile senior citizen wishes to bring back war in the world by claiming Canada, Greenland and Panama; he proves he never should have been in the position he is in now: being the proud creator of WW3. Again; if this is a "friend", you do not need any enemies.
So while Italy was thinking about the Renaissance with great artists, scientists, scholars, navigators who indicated new trade routes, who set up the modern world, in the rest of Europe they were thinking about waging wars, and conquering Italy with the complicity of the Popes. Who knows why everyone wants to come to Italy and no one to Great Britain or Germany. The French are only Italians but more envious than us....ahahahahah
One of the best Italian Wars videos on YT. These events can be hard to keep track of but you guys did great work!
Damn the map design is amazing ngl
Other channels dont have tgis quality.

this is my new favourite history channel
Same as me.
The only channel that has this type of graphic quality and doesnt bofe me like other historytuber channels.
Yeah I watched all their videos ^o^.
@gemto4378 what about epic history

A well-made video with great content, thank you!

Ancient Rome and all the problems began in the italian peninsula, they had to assume now to be on a permanent Battlefield.

16th century's Battle Royale.
These wars sound interesting, but I hope never to repeat.
HOW DO YOU MAKE YOUR MAPS THEY ARE AMAZING!!!

Medici family was incredibly powerful
France casually kicking everyone's ass
The Papacy was the worst. The League against Venice - unforgivable. How the Farnese carved a state out of nothing into Milanese domains - ditto.
Age of France.
21:25- It is ceresole

16:04 mark. Pope Clement VII.. not VIII. I got you fam

We all know who fought the Borgia.
How the French felt after starting 1241 "Italian Wars": 🗿
You mean the Largest Conflict of the 16th century "in Europe". Japanese invasion of Korea in 1592 involved at least 0.3 million men.
So while Italy was thinking about the Renaissance with great artists, scientists, scholars, navigators who indicated new trade routes, who set up the modern world, in the rest of Europe they were thinking about waging wars, and conquering Italy with the complicity of the Popes. Who knows why everyone wants to come to Italy and no one to Great Britain or Germany. The French are only Italians but more envious than us....ahahahahah
1526 the French called for the Sultan to invade Hungary and create problems for the Hapsburgs in the east ...
I wish we were still broken up into a bunch of tiny city-states/proto-states. The hegemony of larger states on progress is super shitty
"SIGH".... time to play EU4 i guess
This animal seems like a very bad idea
Aren't you glad you weren't Italian in the16th century?

Surprise, surprise; the Pope was the big bad. 😂
