ivan55599 in southern and eastern Norway (Agder and Akershus) we have the same problem, but with a few differences. Agder slowly gets colder, but we still have rain, while looking enviously north towards the mountains with a metre of snow already in November. Then we finally get snow, suddenly everything is covered in a knee-deep layer of icy cocaine powder. Few days later, spring comes and the snow melts away slowly until May. While in Akershus, we get to zero degrees Celsius in October, but because this region of Norway is a desert, we only get ten centimetres of snow in late January. A few days later, the uppermost snow has melted and re-freezed into a layer of hard ice that you can even walk on without making footprints. in March it's all gone again.
I find it amazing how the norse, once labeled as “barbarian” people, whose vikings once raided and pillaged anywhere they could reach, managed to create the countries with the highest HDI on the planet.
True. My country is one of least habitable countries on the planet, with almost no viable farmland. Yet here we are, #1 on The Human Development Index.
Well, maybe that's because our image of the vikings is mostly propaganda from the Christian monks they were in conflict with. Their pillaging and raiding was only minor compared to their trade networks and colonies. They had a 900 year long democratic tradition, the oldest we know of in history. They were excellent ship builders and explorers, had craftsmanship and a law of order more reasonable than any other at the time. They had stronger rights for women, a woman could be a soldier if she wanted, she had inheritance rights, she often had leadership roles, she could marry and divorce as she herself wished. And unlike the rest of Europe at the time, they mostly did not practice capital punishment of decapitation of limbs for thieves and criminals. We also have records where the English mock the Norse because the Norse washes once a week. Which was something the English only did once a year. There is often a huge focus on the viking slave trade, but all of Europe had slaves then, the vikings were traders so they traded slaves like any other commodity. If you read the sagas, there is one particular story of king Olav who went in disguise among some pagans, and in that story you'll actually find that the Norse trells slept in the same room as their lords, they ate at the same table, they were included and active in religious rituals. Compared to how slaves were treated in England or elsewhere, the Norse really had developed slightly more egalitarian than their southern neighbours. All in all, compared to the rest of Europa, the Norse were probably the cleanest, most civilized when it comes to human values, most egalitarian bunch of people. Compared to our standards, they were not - but these were different times. They were also taller than any other Europeans because they were better fed. So the fact that the Nordic countries has the highest HDI in the world is _not_ _at_ _all_ surprising, it's a result of thousands of years of cultural development. It's just that you guys still believe in ancient propaganda from English monks.
I believe Novgorod Republic was never a part of the Golden Horde. Mongols never sieged or even entered that city. Novgorod and a lot of other Northern Russian territories escaped just by agreeing to pay a tribute to the Golden Horde.
Because Kozelsk town defenders in Kaluga state were fucking all Mongol troops 7 weeks , this town was 1 year older than Moscow town , it was defender town for Vladimir town too like Moscow and had Kremlin wall too, Kozelsk had fired, all population with small childrens were been killed by mongols
This is not entirely true. The Novgorod Republic did not run away. At the same time, there were 2 circumstances. The horde's cavalry could not go to Novgorod because of deep swamps and dense forests, and Novgorod voluntarily paid tribute. And as history shows, it was the right move.
@@siratshi455 Is paying tribute to this puppet action? Novgorod had the choice or help of the crusaders or tribute with a golden horde. He chose the horde. The Horde did not touch the Orthodox Church. The crusaders wanted everyone to convert Novgorod to Catholicism. And this was absolutely unacceptable for an Orthodox person.
@@armzngunz Haha don't be a fool. The Sami do not own that land and have only marginal historical claims to certain regions... and it's not like they would be capable of enforcing their possession, even if they did actually control those territories
Its cool to see that most old "nations" still exist now like Ostrogothia turned into Östergötland, Westrogothia turned into Västergötland, Uppsala is still Uppsala, Wermlandia is now Värmland, Helsingia is now Hälsingland, Kinda is now a city in Östergötland, Öland And Gotland Is Still the same and Dal is now Dalarna
@@Whatareyoudoinnhere Vestfold doesn't exist as a county anymore. It was recently merged with other counties to the greater Viken fylke, though the name is probably still in use. In Sweden we usually use the names of the historical provinces rather than the counties, and I think the Norwegians might do that too to some extent. For example: Västra Götaland county consists of the historical Västergötland, Bohuslän and Dalsland. If a Swede asks another Swede: "Where are you from?" and the other Swede says: "I'm from Åmål." and then the first Swede asks: "Where is that?" it's likely that the second Swede would answer: "It's in the northeastern part of Dalsland" rather than "In the northern part of Västra Götaland county".
VoidViper Mapping Animation Production they never came all the way up here but since no russian state existed, in theory those areas were under the mongols
I finished playing Medieval 2: Total War some days ago. My Spanish Empire was the only object of the Mongols' wrath as they came towards me through the desert. I had the western Mediterranean, and they had the eastern. I kept destroying their armies in Lybia but the Mongol rape train doesn't stop. In Europe I had just taken Rome to get rid of the Vatican, but that didn't work, and I was all the way in Holland but because of the damn Mongols and several Crusades to absorb, I didn't have enough resources to invade the British Isles, and I kept losing ground in France, eventually losing all of it, so I asked the Timurids who were in the Ukraine if they would freely take Libya, northern Italian regions, Marseilles and the Cantabrian mountains regions. They accepted, and this got the Mongols to fight them, keeping the Mongols from ever attacking me again. Divide and conquer worked there. But the other Europeans didn't attack the Timurids, so I failed to stop the crusaders with the same tactic. I was being invaded by the English in Asturias, and after defeating one invading army, another took its place on and on. The Danes then advanced all the way to Spain but made me their vassal just to betray me a few years later. Those perfidious Danes and dastardly Brits! I called it quits and moved all of my people to America trying to take over the Aztecs but I didn't have enough resources to keep my conquests in Mexico, so I was stuck with Cuba and Brazil. Despite losing, I achieved my mission of keeping the Mongols from conquering me. That alone makes me happy, since on the internet I was attacked by Kazakhs and Mongols who sided against me because I'm a European and a Christian, so I got revenge by keeping the Mongols from conquering me in the game.
ruclips.net/video/m7chLRd28_A/видео.html In the year 1244, Novgorod submits to the Mongol Empire and begins paying tribute/taxes. Novgorod should be colored as a part of the Mongol Empire: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novgorod_Republic#Foreign_relations
Kinda is actually a place now as well, along with a lot of the smaller areas from the very early stages of these nations. Kinda is the name of a municipality in Östergötland (or Ostrogothia in Latin). Though it is pronounced "Schinda", with the "sch"-part as in the English word "hush". The same goes for Finnveden for example, it's still a used name for the region it once was and it's where I come from! #lectured
What does that even mean? A person from Västergötland in the 8th century was culturally closer to a Dane than a person from Västergötland in the 17th century when the culture was controlled by the Lutheran Swedish church/king. In between, culture was ruled by Rome. If you want to preserve cultures, North Korea is a good example, where people are not allowed or can afford to change culture or the Amish who control people through shame so the culture is preserved. If you think we've left religious fundamentalism behind, just look at how people were shamed into taking an injection for a disease that wasn't that dangerous to the vast majority of people, or the worship of Saint Climate Greta. Obey the science.
Novgorod, like most of the North-Eastern and Northern principalities of Rusia, was not part of The Golden Horde. Paid tribute, were vassals, but not part of the Horde.
Great work Ollie! You inspire me a lot, thanks to you I'm into mapping and when I actually start posting videos I plan on doing a History of the Balkans: Every Year (1444-2017) video in a style similar to yours :)

@@torsbend1623 A continent is a geographic term and geographically speaking, most of Iceland is in North America. I didn't say that Iceland was never part of Norway or that Icelandic people aren't European, but if we went by that logic than America and Canada are also a part of Europe since majority of the people are of European descent and they were also colonized by Britain, a European country.
ivan55599 Even the 1500s is really too early to be talking of proper nations; the concept of statehood only started developing after the Peace of Westphalia (1648) and then only really became prominent in the late 18th century.
Hey Ollie Bye ! Is it possible if you can do a video about the History of the whole Eurasian Steppes (which would include, Eastern Europe, Anatolia, the Caucasus, Persia, Central Asia, the Xinjiang Region, Tibet and Mongolia). I really do believe it would be awesome if you cover this whole region because of the impact it has had on Human History due to all the various migration that went from Asia to Europe and the Middle East. =D
KETO As a Swede, I would mostly disagree. The intertwining of the French and English monarchies and the creation of the Kievan Rus' could be significant, but I don't see much else of importance.
@@axelandersson6314 The Swedish Viking legacy in addition to the wars with Russia that they had, at least to me as a Central American I like those stories (although they speak of dead jajaja)
Aron Johansson True. You only learn here if you take the College level classes. I compared that to what they were teaching my classmates and I understand now why people voted for Trump. No critical thinking or deep historical teachings.
A little hiccup but nothing major: Eastern Karelia or Karelia was its own SSR not Russian SFSR but it was incorporated in 56 back into an ASSR into the Russian SFSR
yeah we were great under the viking age, owned parts of England, France, the whole Iceland was part of the Norwegian kingdom, the whole greenland (before Denmark stole it from us), and we discovered america first in the viking age (a place they called vinland). but after all these raids, and all the epidemics like svartedauden we became weaker and in the end Sweden and Denmark took great advantage of that and stole most of our land and never gave it gack when we became independent
@@spelking5 yeah well you had to wait for the guns to come because u guys were to physically to weak to even challenge us in the viking age even u guys had a much higher population
They were Tavastians who lived in what you called Birkaland and Vanaja. Vanaja was an acient tavastian city named by Novgorodians and Birkaland wasn't founded until 1956 (was part of Satakunta until then).
@@mistah_mio7820 Norway have been a countrey for 1,128 years, it got its newest constatution in 1814 and started the process to become independant, in 1905 they got thei full independant, but there have been cases where norwegians have fought the sweedes in battle for independance too, Like in 1814 where a band of the norwegian army held out in a fort for 4 years in Fredriksten festing, and leading to the death of the Sweedish king "Charles XIV John of Sweden" most likely shot in the battlefield by a Norwegian soldier. so norway have been strong ever since its Creation, just that sometimes sweden and Denamrk were stronger
@@LadyZeldaia You really have to get your history right. It was Carolus, or Charles XII, who fell at Fredrikshald. Charles XIV died at the castle of Stockholm.
Very interesting and detailed map history, although it is assuming quite a lot in the years before say 1000 CE. Actual sources would be great to include if possible.
Why is "Vanaja" mentioned? It is actually part of Tavastia. Tavastia is actually located next to Birkaland not next to Karelia. You should add Kvenland, first time seen on a map in 814 CE. Pohjola might not be actual place, it is more likely geographical region related to Lapland (Pohjola = The North),.
Wait what? 5:03 in year 1917 southern Finland as "Russian SFSR"? Does the map refer to the Finnish civil war which took Part in 1918? And south totally was not Russian SFSR. It was the socialist Finland, also known as the red guards and they were aided by the soviets but certainly not enough to be labelled as "Russian SFSR"
@@mky3039 welp, the ruler family was Mongol, but the Mongol-Tatar empire was a union (horde) of tribes and official language of communication was Turkic Lang.
@@mky3039 Khan title is Turkic, all Mongol elite family was assimilated by Turkic and went on to build Turkic empires like (Golden Horde, Chagatai, Dzhuchi, Timurids).
Archaeological evidence suggests the first skates were made of animal bones in around 3000 BC to aid travel during the frozen winters in Finland. Scientists who made the discovery say it means that ice skating is the oldest form of human-powered transport.
As has already been mentioned there's alot of very noteable mistakes at the beginning of the video, particularily in Denmark and Norway (these are just the ones I happen to know, there could be more: -For one, Denmark was a unified or atleast semi-unified Kingdom way before Gorm the Old, structures like Danevirke, Jelling, Ribe and Hedeby pretty heavily imply that there was some degree of centralized control in the region. -Vestfold is extremely oversimplfied, for example Danish control over Vestfold in the 9th Century is not shown at all for some reason, despite being backed up by an absolute ton of literary and archeological evidence. This is a super important part to not leave out. -More recent theories generally agree that Harald Fairhair did not unite Norway from Vestfold, like the later Sagas state, but that he infact probably did so from Western Norway instead. I hope you plan to remake this video at some point, because these are just the ones I noticed, and they are GIANT ommissions.
Nice animation, but: 1814-1905 should be the United Kingdoms of Sweden and Norway. Two separate kingdoms in a personal union. Norway had it's own legislature, government, laws, navy etc. In your video it states: Kingdom of Sweden.
But… from 1940 to 1991 on the territory of the USSR near Finland there were Karelo-Finnish SSR and Karelian ASSR. They are not on the map, but the Estonian SSR is. That's strange.
If you marked Russian SFSR and Estonian SSR during existence of Soviet Union, you also must have marked Karelo-Finnish SSR during it's existence in 1940-1956

Well, maybe that's because our image of the vikings is mostly propaganda from the Christian monks they were in conflict with.
Their pillaging and raiding was only minor compared to their trade networks and colonies. They had a 900 year long democratic tradition, the oldest we know of in history. They were excellent ship builders and explorers, had craftsmanship and a law of order more reasonable than any other at the time. They had stronger rights for women, a woman could be a soldier if she wanted, she had inheritance rights, she often had leadership roles, she could marry and divorce as she herself wished. And unlike the rest of Europe at the time, they mostly did not practice capital punishment of decapitation of limbs for thieves and criminals.

Don't know which meme, but if you play civilization normal size Earth map, whole scandinavia fits in one city.
Europe is my local supercluster
Norway have oil

History of Northerm Europe but not including Iceland.
*Iceland🇮🇸:Am I a joke to you?*
nor did they have great britain and ireland
Shitty joke
Iceland is part of North America.
@@razahassan8755 u stupid? It is european. It was literally a colony of norway for a very long time
@@torsbend1623 A continent is a geographic term and geographically speaking, most of Iceland is in North America. I didn't say that Iceland was never part of Norway or that Icelandic people aren't European, but if we went by that logic than America and Canada are also a part of Europe since majority of the people are of European descent and they were also colonized by Britain, a European country.
I like the music in this one. Calm, yet steady.
Very interesting. I didn't know Scandinavia had states far back in 300 CE.
Petty kingdoms, just like much of northern Europe at the time.
They were not kingdoms, they were tribes and tribal confederations.
Ęÿūį Æßñ tribes could have petty kings, they just weren't feudal. More like warlords. But succession was still monarchical.
These kind of maps are often pretty generalizing before proper nations (1500s).
ivan55599 Even the 1500s is really too early to be talking of proper nations; the concept of statehood only started developing after the Peace of Westphalia (1648) and then only really became prominent in the late 18th century.

Because Sweden has shat itself
Denmark is better than sweden.
Rus trolls are real.
a very wise donkey, i also bet most of those commenting if not 90% have not even been to Sweden xD
Thank you for a video about my country and her Nordic sisters! Greetings from Norway

Hey Ollie Bye ! Is it possible if you can do a video about the History of the whole Eurasian Steppes (which would include, Eastern Europe, Anatolia, the Caucasus, Persia, Central Asia, the Xinjiang Region, Tibet and Mongolia). I really do believe it would be awesome if you cover this whole region because of the impact it has had on Human History due to all the various migration that went from Asia to Europe and the Middle East. =D
I am not from norse, sweden or denmark, but your history and legacy is massive
KETO As a Swede, I would mostly disagree. The intertwining of the French and English monarchies and the creation of the Kievan Rus' could be significant, but I don't see much else of importance.
@@axelandersson6314
The Swedish Viking legacy in addition to the wars with Russia that they had, at least to me as a Central American I like those stories (although they speak of dead jajaja)
I just learned that Denmark became a constant, more or less stable nation something like 1000 years before Finland. And I'm Finnish.
Denmark have always beaten sweden and have owned norway for over 400 years but we became weak after england killed our navy in 1800
You forgot the Karelian SSR

Between 1940 and 1956 there was a Karelo-Finnish ssr
Wow Norway and Sweden are old! They don't teach this in America!
Lovelife090994 thats cause norways was conqured by Denmark then Nazis
Aron Johansson True. You only learn here if you take the College level classes. I compared that to what they were teaching my classmates and I understand now why people voted for Trump. No critical thinking or deep historical teachings.
Ravenclaw Seer Ha and you call that old.
+Aron stop spreading lies. Damn troll
Ravenclaw Seer
They teach EVERYTHING--- if you GET OFF YOUR ASS and take the class.
A little hiccup but nothing major: Eastern Karelia or Karelia was its own SSR not Russian SFSR but it was incorporated in 56 back into an ASSR into the Russian SFSR
Coś ty typie najświętszego zrobił z tą mapą i Skandynawią
It's was awesome, bro. I really love videos about the history.
Cool video! Would be interesting to add wars on the map as well, may explain some territorial changes.
You videos are very entertaining and educational keep up the good work 😍😀
3:14 Norway is great
yeah we were great under the viking age, owned parts of England, France, the whole Iceland was part of the Norwegian kingdom, the whole greenland (before Denmark stole it from us), and we discovered america first in the viking age (a place they called vinland). but after all these raids, and all the epidemics like svartedauden we became weaker and in the end Sweden and Denmark took great advantage of that and stole most of our land and never gave it gack when we became independent

Great video. The only problem is that the mongols never took Novgorod. They mostly controlled southern Russia and Ukraine.
Nice Work mate.
4:22 Tsardom of Russia: I'm here in Scandinavia to...
Sweden: Nope.
One thing I learn from this is that lots of smaller states merge into larger states. How far will it go?
All the way
They were Tavastians who lived in what you called Birkaland and Vanaja. Vanaja was an acient tavastian city named by Novgorodians and Birkaland wasn't founded until 1956 (was part of Satakunta until then).
2025:
Norway, Swedistan, Finland
yeah probably you are right
Norway immigrant population: 14%
Sweden immigrant population: 14.3%
Only 3.5% of Swedens population is Muslim.
Soon it will all sadly be swedenistan, norwaystan, denmarkistan, and finlanstan. ;(
Most of them are European immigrants. Only 4% of the population in Norway is muslim.
3:18 This is the ideal Scandinavia. You may not like it, but this is what peak perfomance looks like
That has to go to 4:20, right around 1705.. for obvious reasons ;)
I love these. So interesting
Thank you
0:21 Where you going?
Emily Luxton Sucks LMAO

I was so confused when I saw Scotland appear on the names list for a second
I still am...
Shetland Islands is why Scotland’s there
@@j.bproductions5424 ah thank you, oh wow yeah you're right! I guess the way the map was positioned/presented threw me off. That's cool.
Nice to see How long Norway has been its own country.
Jack NeXuS it got its Independence in 1905 lol
@@mistah_mio7820 Norway have been a countrey for 1,128 years, it got its newest constatution in 1814 and started the process to become independant, in 1905 they got thei full independant, but there have been cases where norwegians have fought the sweedes in battle for independance too, Like in 1814 where a band of the norwegian army held out in a fort for 4 years in Fredriksten festing, and leading to the death of the Sweedish king "Charles XIV John of Sweden" most likely shot in the battlefield by a Norwegian soldier. so norway have been strong ever since its Creation, just that sometimes sweden and Denamrk were stronger
@@mistah_mio7820 No, 1814
@@LadyZeldaia You really have to get your history right. It was Carolus, or Charles XII, who fell at Fredrikshald. Charles XIV died at the castle of Stockholm.
The question is if Norway was part of Denmark or in an union with Denmark for so may years
Hey man. i really like the videos you guys make. I love history and i love maps so its a wet dream for me.
Very interesting and detailed map history, although it is assuming quite a lot in the years before say 1000 CE. Actual sources would be great to include if possible.
7th century denmark: stop jelling! your being too loud.
Why is "Vanaja" mentioned? It is actually part of Tavastia. Tavastia is actually located next to Birkaland not next to Karelia. You should add Kvenland, first time seen on a map in 814 CE. Pohjola might not be actual place, it is more likely geographical region related to Lapland (Pohjola = The North),.
Wait what? 5:03 in year 1917 southern Finland as "Russian SFSR"? Does the map refer to the Finnish civil war which took Part in 1918? And south totally was not Russian SFSR. It was the socialist Finland, also known as the red guards and they were aided by the soviets but certainly not enough to be labelled as "Russian SFSR"
yes, it's true. Idk why too...
Interesting to see out of all the small states which one counquers
these for the most part are very good
2:48 that moment when Mongols says hi :)
not only Mongols but all turkic
@@user-yq3ol5jn5d Mongols aren't Turkics.
@@mky3039 welp, the ruler family was Mongol, but the Mongol-Tatar empire was a union (horde) of tribes and official language of communication was Turkic Lang.

Einstien And Enfield *Badam tss*
There’s the door
Why did you show it in that angle?
Because how else was he supposed to fit the whole of Scandinavia on a widescreen format?
SUM1 He didn't have to? Look at Vologda Mapping's video
Not sure why I would want to show it in that way if I have this option instead. This angle fills up the screen a lot better.
Ollie Bye I pointed it out because that angle looks unfamiliar, but the detail is still there anyway
So he could leave out Estonia
great illustration!
Archaeological evidence suggests the first skates were made of animal bones in around 3000 BC to aid travel during the frozen winters in Finland. Scientists who made the discovery say it means that ice skating is the oldest form of human-powered transport.
As has already been mentioned there's alot of very noteable mistakes at the beginning of the video, particularily in Denmark and Norway (these are just the ones I happen to know, there could be more:
-For one, Denmark was a unified or atleast semi-unified Kingdom way before Gorm the Old, structures like Danevirke, Jelling, Ribe and Hedeby pretty heavily imply that there was some degree of centralized control in the region.
-Vestfold is extremely oversimplfied, for example Danish control over Vestfold in the 9th Century is not shown at all for some reason, despite being backed up by an absolute ton of literary and archeological evidence. This is a super important part to not leave out.
-More recent theories generally agree that Harald Fairhair did not unite Norway from Vestfold, like the later Sagas state, but that he infact probably did so from Western Norway instead.
I hope you plan to remake this video at some point, because these are just the ones I noticed, and they are GIANT ommissions.
Yes, and he probably never united that much of what we today consider "Norway". Probably, he mostly ruled Southwestern-Norway
When I think of Northern Europe The Vikings come to mind
That was cool, thank you! I head from my teacher ones how Jemtia had been conquered back and forth between Sweden and Norway. What are your sources?
Every thing moves, nothing stays the same.
1:02 ah yes, my favourite country, land.
Nice animation, but: 1814-1905 should be the United Kingdoms of Sweden and Norway. Two separate kingdoms in a personal union. Norway had it's own legislature, government, laws, navy etc. In your video it states: Kingdom of Sweden.
Finnish and sami people just chilling in the beginning
Yea. And when vikings try to came in finland with bad purposes. We kick them to ass 😉
4:26 look at you sweden you are huge
But denmark was stronger 🙃
nd bigger
And
Cool that Gjesvær was just there chillin in the corner for it’s first 100 years
Very good job !!
3:27 peek-a-boo!
Yea denmark was sooo strong ahahahah
Denmark did so much, but ended with so little..
Fate of many countries. At least we still exist.
Denmark ended up with Denmark and Greenland. Norway was never Denmark.
But… from 1940 to 1991 on the territory of the USSR near Finland there were Karelo-Finnish SSR and Karelian ASSR. They are not on the map, but the Estonian SSR is.
That's strange.
Зачем я это делаю it existed from 1940 to 1955
During this period, Karelia was part of the Russian SFSR, while Estonia was part of the USSR.
If you marked Russian SFSR and Estonian SSR during existence of Soviet Union, you also must have marked Karelo-Finnish SSR during it's existence in 1940-1956
30 sec intro for a 5 min vid? well done!

Maybe you should do Southern Europe and Eastern Europe now, since you made Northern and Western Europe.
Frederico Ramos that seems like a nice course of action, maybe do eastvthen south so to make it clockwise
Both already been done
I've got an idea: can you make history of the Carpathians? (the geopolitical situation around them)
great effort!
