    Another fun fact: The word "howitzer" originates from Czech "houfnice" (and not just in english, you have the "Haubitze" in German, "obice" in Italian, "gaubitza" (гаубица) in Russian, etc.).
    Also, the word "houfnice" comes from another Czech word, "houf", which means a "crowd". So, essentially, the gun for firing into crowds!

    • @Motofanable
      @Motofanable 5 лет назад +12

      houf does not sound very czech to me or at least slavic

    • @crazymachinima1
      @crazymachinima1 5 лет назад +81

      True, "houf" itself originates from German, but considering the fact that Bohemia was historically directly influenced by German speaking nations (it was a part of the Holy Roman Empire, and then of the Habsburg monarchy), and possesed a substantial German ethnic minority up until 1945, that is not really surprising.
      The word is rather old and rarely used today, and is primarily used when describing birds (the best English counterpart would be a flock). However, it was commonly used for gathering of people in the Old Czech, and can be used as such today. You will probably sound pretty ancient though.

    • @bvthebalkananarchistmapper5642
      @bvthebalkananarchistmapper5642 5 лет назад +19

      +crazymachinima1 The word "Haubica" used in the Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian and Montenegrin languages (or, rather, language, since, by the mutual intelligibility definition of what counts as a dialect and what a language, these 4 are just dialects of the same language) also originates from that Czech word you mentioned.

    • @Motofanable

    Great video as always, but you forgot to mention one amazing fact about Jan Žižka. He lost one of his eyes in the Battle of Grunwald in 1410. Then in 1421 at the siege of Rabi he lost his other eye. And still he lead armies till his death in 1424. In that time he achived indisputable victories at the big battles at Nebovidy, Habry, Deutschbrod, Hořice and Malešov plus a couple of smaller engagements.
    *Jan Žižka was so badass he led an army for three years while being wholly blind and still managed to decisively win five major battles having much smaller forces in each one of them.*

      @vlanAlf 6 лет назад +131

      Really? Did Genghis or Scipio ever let army of farmers, women and childeren against profesional army, when enemy outnumberd them more than 10:1 and still achieve victory? Did they lead their troops totaly blind against superior enemy, and still manage to lured the enemy into the trap an achieve victory? Zizka did it. He was outnumbered in almout every battle and he still always won, even when he was blind. He lead unskilled peasants without any armor angainst heavily armerd soldiers, who had years of training, and he won. He introduced completly new tactics (which almost made heavy cavalry obsolete 450 year before automatic guns), and he brought firearms onto european battlefields. Thanks to him the world know the word pistol, which has czech origin and comes from "píšťala", which is how hussites call their hand guns. Zizka is the greatest.

    Before being burned at the stake, Jan Hus said that “you may cook this goose, but in 100 years, a swan will arise, and you won’t be able to silence him.” Hus meant goose in that language, so that’s the origin of the term, “me goose is cooked.” The swan whom the Catholics were unable to silence was Martin Luther.

Thanks to this and his military genius, he is one of the very few undefeated generals; ranking along the likes of Alexander of Macedon.

    • @dfiala9890
      @dfiala9890 6 лет назад +134

      ferko perko -- absolutely wrong. The word "Bohemia" does indeed come from the Latin name for the region, but it refers to the Celtic "Boii" people who once lived there. As the Slavic people migrated into the region two Czech-speaking tribes developed on the land formerly occupied by the Boii. One of them took on the name "Bohemian", after the Latin name for the region, the other took on the name "Moravian", I believe after a forest there. Both the Moravians and the Bohemians have always been refered to as "Czech". Czech being the name of the Slavic language that the two tribes share.
      Put another way, Bohemians are Czech, but not all Czechs are Bohemian.
      Edit: I happen to be a Bohemian Czech, ethnically. Not that it should matter

      At the time it was a part of the Lands of the Bohemian Crown (Corona regni Bohemiae), which included Silesia, Moravia and Lusatia, shortening it to just Bohemia should not be considered a mistake.
      Besides, czech language doesn't have separate terms for Czechs and Bohemians , Bohemia is called Čechy, which means the land of the Czechs.

    The Wagenburg (or wagon fort) became so ingrained as a Hussite thing in people's minds that in Polish "tabor" became a common name for it.
    And through the ages it's meaning became much wider and nowadays it means anything from a rolling stock to nomadic group of Gypsies.
    So yeah, the legacy of Hussites still lives on in that part of Europe in ways people aren't even aware of.

    • @Wravsaf

      Today, in modern world of Czech republic, tábor means camp/campsite.
      Edit: Oh, and that thing with gypsies. Today they are no longer nomadic (it was like 100 years ago), lots of them live in ghettos and rundown houses. Naturally they live from our taxes and if they have more than 3 kids, the financial benefits are high enough for them to avoid any kind of work plus they have many discnouts from cities they live in. Over all that, most of them still can be seen in better clothes than the normal working man, which pisses the f from everyone here.

      In Czech, the word comes from the name of a mountain in southern Bohemia and means "a camp". The mountain is named after the mountain Tabor in Izrael. After Hus died, huge crowds of pilgrims came on Tábor for devine services and they would camp on the mountain. Later a Hussite town was founded in the place bearing the same name.

      This is actually agreed among historians to be the reason for it. Or to be more precise, the beggining of the long way to our refusal of religion. After hussites won freedom for their religion, czechs were later forcibly and brutally recatholized and since then catholics were either our enemy or oppresors. And after hundreds of years of constant religious conflicts, changes of various dogmas forced upon the population (hussites, catholicism, protestantism, catholitism,...) based on the current ruler affilation, the Czechs came to the conclusion that there is no God. Seriously, that is condensed version of what happened.

      Not really, take a look at other countries that were communist - Poland, Slovakia and others. Catholicism is strong and communism didnt hurt it. That was not the case in Czechia.

      we learn this stuff in school when we are little kids. (5-6 years). Žižka is a fucking hero. The religion? stupid bullshit, they took Jan hus! next reason - after the second defenestration, the witch hunt was really hard in bohemia. like, really really hard, i recommend you find something about it. Boblig did terrible things. Because of this and hussite wars, we HATE religion with passion.
      Fuck Zikmund. Fuck the church. Fuck boblig.

      Not at all. 1) burning of Jan Hus by Catholic immoral whores and Hussite fight against Crusades 2) Forced recatholisation after year 1620 3) Foreign Habsburg rulers were mainly Catholics since 1526 till 1918 4) Era of Communism.

    Wow, as czech i am really surprided how well did you managed this theme. I also learned something (we didnt even learn that it was crudade and about sofia). Btw the day of hus burning is national holiday, czech arent bohemians, bohemia is just part of czech rep. So bohemia didn't turned into czech rep. But its just part of czech rep. and your czech is kinda good. Great video!

    It may be apocryphal, but I was told that the English phrase "your goose is cooked" comes from Jan Hus - 'hus' is the Czech word for geese, and Jan Hus was burnt ("cooked") at the stake.

    • @alexanderchristopher6237
      @alexanderchristopher6237 5 лет назад

      How about the prophecy of Jan Hus, how they will cook a goose, but a swan will rise in a hundred years that cannot be cooked?
      And that swan is Martin Luther in 1517.

    One small correction: Sigismund granted Hus the guarantee of safe passage en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geleitrecht
    He did not and could not grant him immunity from Church sentence.
    "Hus had received a so-called 'Geleitrecht' from King Sigismund, King of the Romans, an accompanying
    document guaranteeing a safe trip to Contance and back. The fact that this had not protected him in the ensuing
    events evoked indignation in the Czech Lands. One of the paradoxes of history is the fact that Hus had received
    the promise of a 'Geleitrecht' from King Sigismund, but had only received it several days later upon arriving in
    Constance. Thus Hus went and arrived at the Council without the protective document and could have been
    captured and imprisoned on the trip having already been from a legal perspective declared a heretic. An essential
    factor regarding the issue of Sigismund's 'Geleitrecht' was the fact that any kind of protective document by a
    secular ruler (such as Sigismund) could not protect the holder from a decision by a Church institution (the
    Council). The 'Geleitrecht' could not protect the heretic from a Church trial. Canon law recognized the principle
    that all forms of commitments to certain heretics need not be acknowledged. Of additional importance is the fact
    that Sigismund at a later point declared his 'Geleitrecht' for Hus invalid.19"
