The picture of the successors of Rome is wrong. The kingdom of Aragón is not the successor of Asturias. The kingdom of Aragón was established from the county of Aragón as a partition of the kingdom of Pamplona (later Navarre), when the king Sancho Garcés III the Great left one kingdom to each of his sons. Pamplona to García, León (through marriage with the Leonese queen) to Fernando and Aragón to Ramiro (a bastard). And the kingdom of Pamplona didn't come from Asturias either, it originated as a part of the Spanish March of the Frankish Empire.
Okay whether or not Czechia or Poland is older is actually really hard to call. They arose practically in sync, with the Piast Dynasty of Poland and the Přemyslid dynasty of Bohemia both allying each other and fighting each other throughout. (before anyone @s me, I know those Dynasties weren't the only rulers of Poland and Bohemia, but it's pretty much the historical consensus that the first unification of those peoples happened under those Dynasties) The Duchy of Bohemia was founded first, in 870. The Duchy of Poland aka the Civitas Schinesghe (considered the first Polish State) was founded later in 960. However Poland became a Kingdom first in 1025, whereas the Kingdom of Bohemia took until 1198 (though the title did temporarily exist a few times before starting in 1085, it was formallized in 1198).
Now if we factor in Great Moravia things are weird. Great Moravia is the first West Slavic State, founded in 833, but it's hard to say who is the modern descendant of Great Moravia, their core Territories included Moravia (which is part of Czechia) and Nitra (Part of Slovakia), though they had conquered and laid claims to land in several other modern countries like Hungary, Austria, Germany, and Poland. So the two modern nations with the Greatest Claim to the legacy of Great Moravia are Czechia and Slovakia, though it did influence several other Slavic States. (The Constitution of Slovakia does claim that Slovakia is a successor state to Great Moravia). So the Modern West Slavic State with the oldest predecessor is probably Slovakia and/or Czechia depending on how you categorize the inheritance of Great Moravia. The Modern East Slavic State with the oldest Predecessor is probably either Belarus, Russia, or Ukraine (ordered alphabetically). As the oldest East Slavic State is Kievan Rus, whose territory included much of all three states, and the governments of each of them lay claim to it. The Modern South Slavic State with the oldest predecessor, and the Oldest Predecessor of any Slavic Nation, is actually probably Slovenia. The oldest evidence we have for any Slavic State is from the 7th century referring to Carantania which was founded primarily by the Alpine Slavs, which are thought to be the descendants of Modern Slovenes.
@@00700A I'm sorry to say, History is more complicated than that. I'm not discussing Culture here. Well not fully. I should describe the way I'm defining a Precursor State. A Historical State is a Precursor of a Modern Nation if it: A:Exists in the same Location (some minor differences are okay) as the Modern Nation. B: Is dominated by people of a Culture that is either the same as the Modern Nation, or a Precursor Culture of the Modern Nation. C: Is ruled by a government of the Modern Nation's Culture or of a Predecessor Culture to the Modern Nation's. So let's go through the possible first Precursor States for Poland, Czechia and Slovakia one at a time. Poland is relatively simple, it came about under the Piast Dynasty, which was Polish. The Duchy of Poland came about in 960, the Poles are typically considered to have Unified under it by Mieszko I, who reigned from 960-992, and it became a Kingdom in 1025 under Mieszko I's Heir Bolesław I the Brave, also known as Bolesław the Great. Slovakia is also kinda simple, Great Moravia was a West Slavic State that encompassed part of Slovakia, and the Culture of Nitra (which was one of the two core Territories in Great Moravia) later evolved into Early Slovak culture. Not to mention the Slovakian Government considers Great Moravia as a Predecessor state. So There's strong grounds to call Great Moravia the Predecessor of Slovakia, in which case the date is 833 or 870 (things get confusing). There's also some debate as to whether the Principality of Nitra was originally independent and then conquered by Great Moravia, or was just a part of Great Moravia from the start. If it was originally independent and we count it as a Slovak predecessor (which in my opinion it should since the culture there evolved into Slovak), the date might be 825. But if we don't count that, then shortly after the fall of Great Moravia the region of Slovakia was ruled by non-Slovaks uninterrupted until after the first World War, when Czechoslovakia was created so we could say 1918. But Czechoslovakia was a joint-culture State, so if you want to exclude it then the Dissolution of Czechoslovakia is the marker at 1993. Next let's do the Czechs. First could be Great Moravia, part of its core Territory is part of Modern-Day Czechia, and its culture (particularly the Moravian section) was a Precursor to Czech Culture in which case it was 833. If we don't count that, then next is the Duchy of Bohemia which arose in 870. During the Duchy of Bohemia the Czechs were Unified fully near the end of the 10th century around 995 (the date when the Přemyslids delivered the final defeat to their major Czech Rivals the Slavník dynasty). And last we could count it becoming the Kingdom of Bohemia. Which could be either 1085 (if we consider when the first king was crowned), or 1198 (when it's status as a Kingdom was formalized). Compiling all the Dates for the start of the first Precursor we get: Slovakia: 825 (Principality of Nitra, existence is disputed), 833, 870 (Great Moravia), 1918 (Czechoslovakia), 1993 (Modern Slovakia) Poland: 960 (Duchy of Poland), 1025 (Kingdom of Poland), or sometime between 960-992 (Mieszko the First's reign) Czechia: 833 (Great Moravia), 870 (Duchy of Bohemia), ~995 (Consolidation of Přemyslid rule over Bohemia), 1085 (First King), or 1198 (Kingdom Status Formalized) You could basically come up with any order you want using this, well Except for Slovakia being the Middle Child, that doesn't work out. But otherwise, there's 5 different orders, here's the orders and some markers that fit them, though in some cases other markers would also get you the same order. And before you ask why I'm counting Great Moravia as just Slovak in two of them, and counting both them and Czechia together as Descendants of Great Moravia in another. It's because Slovakia lists Great Moravia to be a Predecessor state in it's Constitution and Czechia doesn't, so if that matters to you, counting Great Moravia as just Slovak makes sense, but if you don't care what the Constitution says, counting them both together or neither of them is also a technically valid stance to hold. Czechia (Duchy of Bohemia), Poland (Duchy of Poland, Slovakia (Modern Slovakia). Poland (Kingdom of Poland), Czechia (Kingdom of Bohemia), Slovakia (Modern Slovakia). Slovakia (Great Moravia), Czechia (Duchy of Bohemia), Poland (Duchy of Poland). Slovakia (Great Moravia), Poland (Kingdom of Poland), Czechia (Kingdom of Bohemia) Slovakia & Czechia (Great Moravia), Poland (Duchy of Poland)
@@lucyla9947 thanks for the insight, great summarization. Personally I would not count Great Moravia as a starting date of either Czechia or Slovakia. Its like with the Magyars or Bolghars or west/east Frankia, they are all predecessors but dont really have much in common with their modern counterparts and cant be counted to their modern history.

It will never make sense to me for the Ottoman empire to be the successor of Rome. It's origins and culture just don't align with Rome whatsoever. Plus the Ottoman's came form Central Asia.
Ottoman empire came somewhere from Turkey peninsula, not central Asia. But outside of Byzantine territory and are the ones who destroyed Eastern Roman Empire after hundreds of years of assaults on them, which is why no one likes them or recognize them to be successors of Roman Empire.

The national government got a tip that he was holding some weapons but when raiding his house they found a whole museum. The Panzer they found was recovered and fully restored but the man had paperwork showing it has effectively been disarmed. The mayor of the town even told news officals during the winters he would use the tank and it's dozer attachment to shovel snow for the town. Everyone in the town knew of him and the town officals were surprised that the national government just found out about him. When trying to remove the tank from the man's basement they ended up damaging one of the treds. I believe it was only until recently that his trial was settled, he had to pay 500 euros and forced to sell all of his stuff to collectors or museums. Supposedly the tank was sold to a meusum somewhere in the U.S. but last time I checked they had a Panzer there but the tank had yet to be moved from Germany.

Having the most Catholics shouldn't be seen as a claim to the legacy of the Roman Empire. The Catholic Church is only one half of that legacy of the "Roman church." And if people really wanted to be technical about it, Catholicism essentially came into being splitting off from the "Roman church" because of the waning influence of Constantinople, long forgotten the days when the Byzantine emperor had to approve the selection of the pope in Rome. And though nobody would really take it seriously, I think it's fair to say that I am part "Roman." My grandparents were Ottoman Greeks, who have called themselves "Roman" since the collapse of the ERE. Sure there is the split identity with being Greek as well, but that thread of heritage traced back to the empire without any break.

9:10 you forgot Tsardom of Russia claim of eastern roman successor both politcally and religiously as center of orthodox, and by that logic Soviet Council Republic is the successor of SPQR. So Roman Empire was a communist empire, and always has been. not to mention both are reds.
11:46 just thought of this, (while I don’t believe in it it a possibility) during the Roman Empire time a group of Roman soldiers did move to China so there is a small (not big but small) possibility China could be a successor to the Roman Empire, plus hey they also got a red and yellow flag.
11:57 In theory, Mexico could claim to be a succesor, considering the country was ruled by the spanish Habsburgs, and later by a France supported Austrian Habsburg emperor. Unfortunately Juarez and friends were too afraid of success, and decided to perma ban any kind of royal titles in Mexico.

Brazil is the true continuation from de Roman Empire, simply due to the fact that we have the biggest Latin speaking and descendent population in the world.
the German Empire is not a successor to the HRE, they never claimed that, they are the successor of Prussia. Also the Ottomans are not a successor to the Sultanate of Rum, they were just in the same geographical area. The Rum Sultanate does not mean the city or Empire of Rome, but that they ruled over a roman speaking population, so they had no actual connection to the Roman Empire as a Successor.

@@00700A I'm sorry to say, History is more complicated than that.
I'm not discussing Culture here. Well not fully. I should describe the way I'm defining a Precursor State.
A Historical State is a Precursor of a Modern Nation if it:
A:Exists in the same Location (some minor differences are okay) as the Modern Nation.
B: Is dominated by people of a Culture that is either the same as the Modern Nation, or a Precursor Culture of the Modern Nation.
C: Is ruled by a government of the Modern Nation's Culture or of a Predecessor Culture to the Modern Nation's.
So let's go through the possible first Precursor States for Poland, Czechia and Slovakia one at a time.
Poland is relatively simple, it came about under the Piast Dynasty, which was Polish. The Duchy of Poland came about in 960, the Poles are typically considered to have Unified under it by Mieszko I, who reigned from 960-992, and it became a Kingdom in 1025 under Mieszko I's Heir Bolesław I the Brave, also known as Bolesław the Great.

Not to mention the Slovakian Government considers Great Moravia as a Predecessor state.

But if we don't count that, then shortly after the fall of Great Moravia the region of Slovakia was ruled by non-Slovaks uninterrupted until after the first World War, when Czechoslovakia was created so we could say 1918. But Czechoslovakia was a joint-culture State, so if you want to exclude it then the Dissolution of Czechoslovakia is the marker at 1993.
Next let's do the Czechs. First could be Great Moravia, part of its core Territory is part of Modern-Day Czechia, and its culture (particularly the Moravian section) was a Precursor to Czech Culture in which case it was 833. If we don't count that, then next is the Duchy of Bohemia which arose in 870. During the Duchy of Bohemia the Czechs were Unified fully near the end of the 10th century around 995 (the date when the Přemyslids delivered the final defeat to their major Czech Rivals the Slavník dynasty). And last we could count it becoming the Kingdom of Bohemia. Which could be either 1085 (if we consider when the first king was crowned), or 1198 (when it's status as a Kingdom was formalized).
Compiling all the Dates for the start of the first Precursor we get:
Slovakia: 825 (Principality of Nitra, existence is disputed), 833, 870 (Great Moravia), 1918 (Czechoslovakia), 1993 (Modern Slovakia)
Poland: 960 (Duchy of Poland), 1025 (Kingdom of Poland), or sometime between 960-992 (Mieszko the First's reign)
Czechia: 833 (Great Moravia), 870 (Duchy of Bohemia), ~995 (Consolidation of Přemyslid rule over Bohemia), 1085 (First King), or 1198 (Kingdom Status Formalized)

My mother has started asking me to identify flags because of how much I've gotten into them warching you. Thanks to you, I get to feel extremely satisfied when I'm right.
I watched the story about the old german guy on youtube , the old mayor knew he had that tank , cause he plowed snow with it during a big snow storm , he was a ww2 fan
I’d sketch a valid path from Byzantium to Bulgaria, Kievan Rus and then the Duchy of Moscow
9:10 you forgot Tsardom of Russia claim of eastern roman successor both politcally and religiously as center of orthodox, and by that logic Soviet Council Republic is the successor of SPQR. So Roman Empire was a communist empire, and always has been.
not to mention both are reds.
Our government(usa) is literally inspired by the romans. Both had a senate.

Fun fact: germany made a Tornado cannon, it saw action but the single time it fired, it missed the targets
2:27 moral of the story: never ask German and Austrian men what do they have in their basements.
For me Personally my succesor to rome would have to be Australia Which is where im from also yes Australia is a candidate
11:46 just thought of this, (while I don’t believe in it it a possibility) during the Roman Empire time a group of Roman soldiers did move to China so there is a small (not big but small) possibility China could be a successor to the Roman Empire, plus hey they also got a red and yellow flag.

The Germans were reaching for the stars while the Americans were bringing down the stars
Or, lets say from framce when they controlled britain in middle ages the roman empire jumped to UK and to UK colonies. So USA is roman empire
France never controlled britain

11:57 In theory, Mexico could claim to be a succesor, considering the country was ruled by the spanish Habsburgs, and later by a France supported Austrian Habsburg emperor. Unfortunately Juarez and friends were too afraid of success, and decided to perma ban any kind of royal titles in Mexico.

the German Empire is not a successor to the HRE, they never claimed that, they are the successor of Prussia. Also the Ottomans are not a successor to the Sultanate of Rum, they were just in the same geographical area. The Rum Sultanate does not mean the city or Empire of Rome, but that they ruled over a roman speaking population, so they had no actual connection to the Roman Empire as a Successor.
