Too many to count. But that is the charm of history: if it had all been just that, we wouldn't be here contemplating it.
99 percent.
The conquest of France by Clovis ?
some of the maps depicting scandinavia is wrong the borders of norway and denmark expands way into sweden the south of sweden is accurate but the border with norway is way off

Brilliant. So much information explained so clearly and in such a short space of time. The amount of pure thought and editing that goes into these videos is simply awe-inspiring.
Thanks!
@@General.Knowledge thank you for the hard work.
I like how this Atlas are in portuguese, because i'm brazillian. And this is one of my favorites channels in RUclips.
Obrigado!
@@General.Knowledge Vc é brasileiro?
I would love to see a "couple hours long" video from you on this.
I could make some longer videos! It'd be interesting to do one with a map of a continent / country every 100 years and go over the most significant events in each time period
@@General.Knowledge I'd gladly be sucked into one showing yearly changes covering this same date range, watching it in stages. 5 hours? 10 hours? Well, probably not enough people would go for it to be worthwhile, since this one has only 60K views so far. But there is an audience in case one of us inherits a pile of money.
Oh absolutely! I could listen to General Knowledge all day!
I'm very interested in history and this channel is a great educational one.
Thank you!
I love these old maps, it truly shows the progression of Europe throughout the millenia
10:20 little mistake here, it's actually the austrian empire since 1805
-> the compromise with hungary established the austro-hungarian empire in 1867 after prussia and italy won a 2 front war against austria
Indeed.
10:58 - my ancestors were Volga Germans. They escaped persecution by the Russian Czar in the 1860s-1870s and emigrated to the US, settling in the American Midwest.
I emailed the Catholic Bishop of Saratov, Russia in 2011. He is also the Bishop of Munich, Germany.
I asked him whether he knew of any records of the former German colonies in Russia still in existence. Unfortunately he didn't know. I suspected those records were destroyed by Stalin before or during WWII.
We were very thankful to have left Russia long before the Bolsheviks took over.
My ancestors were Volga Germans too hahah but they came to Argentina. Perhaps our great great grand parents knew each other
At 9:10 The map is not entirely right, because at the time Transylvania was an ally of the ottoman empire, but it remained independent.
That would depend on the exact year - it sloshed back and forth a bit.
I'm Brazilian and when I was a kid I bought this exact same Atlas. It's so nostalgic for me haha I used to love studying History and geography with these maps
Love the portuguese history books 😍
Good work! Great video.
I see people are annoyed cause their country wasn't mentioned, which i understand, but honestly... There is way to little room for explaining more. I think he should make a video which is a couple hours long and explain more.
Great video, as usual!
Could you please share the details of that book you're referencing upon. I'm also Portuguese, I'd be thrilled to find and read it :)
Cheers!
I think it was an offer with the Público newspaper some time ago! I don't believe it's available for sale anywhere
@3:06 Germanic and Goth is a bit a strange distinction, as Goths are an East- Germanic tribe. But I can see the misunderstanding is already in the book
As far as I know the term "Germanic" was used by Romans in very vague way. Basically all peoples beyond the limes were "Germanic" for the Romans.
3:19 those could've easily been a string of insults by Captain Haddock hahahah
Great vídeo!
I have taught high school geography for most of the last 40 years. The 1990s and early 2000s made it hard to keep up with the changes in Europe, Africa, and Asia. Textbooks and class map changes prepared me for rapid changes in cellphone technology!😂
The simultanious conquire on the Balkans and Middle East by the Otoman Empire is because the Balkan states used otoman warriors as mercanaries in their quarels (they were in their late feodal state), so they paved the way for their own demice.
Im sure only the byzantine empire used ottoman merceneries againts the bulgarian and serbian empires and in civil wars
@@yoghurtmaster1688 Not realy, in that time period Bulgaria, Serbia and Byzantine empire (what left of it) was devided at smaller states which was formaly under the law of the tzar or emperor or djupan depend on the country (afterall its late feodal era) they fight between each other. So if there are mercenaries for hire why the hell not use them, right.
Very nice that you use the Brabançonne as background music and what I think is the march of the chasseur ardennais
Seeing the map in Portuguese is actually pretty interesting. I know that both the French and Germans kind of claim Charlemagne (or Karl der Grosse), but seeing the Portuguese call him Carlos Magno makes me wonder why we use the French name.
But even then, since we use Carl and Charles equally in English, I don't even know if we should call him Charles the Great or Carl the Great.
English is Germanic, so Carl makes sense, but on the other hand, Charles kinda has more Catholic (think of Charles I and II of England, and it seems like Irish-Americans and Italian-Americans are way more likely to use Charles than Carl in my experienxe) undertones than Carl, and that also seems kinda important for Holy Roman purposes.
Maybe we could just call him Carlos Magno too, it sounds pretty cool to me, lol.
At the same time, how did England become "Ingleterra" or "Inglaterra" in Spanish/Portuguese despite having a Germanic name, yet Ireland and Finland both -landa/landia suffixes despite neither being Germanic?
@@seamussc Ireland is Irlanda in spanish and portuguese because the word for the country entered through english. We just added -a at the end (a latin suffix, -ia) and oila, Irlanda.
Finland is the name that the swedes gave to Finland, and the name we used was that with the added suffix. which is odd, because -ia means land...
Inglaterra, however, entered spanish and portuguese from latin, Anglaterra, or land of the Angles. That's why we don't use the land suffix.
Royal names in English generally favored the French version (unless it was the English version) because the French language had a huge influence in England. And also, Charles IS the English equivalent of Karl for royal names (I don't think it's equal to Carl in that regard), even if it comes from French (like William do, too, despite not being used in France now). Not just Charlemagne, but also the Habsburg emperor Charles V of the HRE (/Charles I of Spain, or should I say: Karl V of the HRE/Carlos I of Spain), and other ones. It seems it stopped (in my eyes) around the middle of the 19th century, since for example England chose "Wilhelm II" instead of "Guillaume II" for the German emperor, not even translating to William.
What's interesting to me, is that Europeans often felt the need to "translate" royal names. Some examples in german - french - english - spanish:
Karl - Charles - Charles - Carlos ...
Franz - François - Francis - Francisco ...
Wilhelm - Guillaume (and 1000 other versions, like Williame in Normandy) - William - Guillermo ...
The last one of interesting considering the insane diversity. "Helm" (meant helmet) became "haume" in french (same definition, pronounced "hom") and "ame" for the Normans since they tended to pronounced the letter "a" with the sound "o".
Because Charles the Great just doesn’t do the name justice
Do the two hour video, please, yoúre brilliant!
Our dear Portugal 🇵🇹❤️
o país que nunca muda, nem em território, nem em economia :D
The maps about barbarian migrations seem to have several locations mistakes. For example, Paris was founded "onn" the Seine, same for Tours (a bit proud 'cause I was born and live in it) on the Loire and more towards the east (on the map, Tours is in the place of Angers or Poitiers)
Vive la France 🟦⬜🟥💪🇫🇷👊🐓
I enjoyed this video. Luckily when I was young we had an excellent atlas of historical maps. I'm 63 now and have had a lifetime love of maps
Love the fact that you barely mention hungary despite the fact that it was one of the strongest kingdoms in the 14th century. Also The hungarian kindom stopped the ottoman expansion, so that the rest of europe remained safe, while hungary was destroyed.
And the Mongols
Can you do a video about transcontinental countries?
Great idea!
It became true 😍
@@jacobarmour6325 Yep and I was shocked XD
@@antares9353 xD
At 5:45, the map is wrong. The Bulgarian Empire was already established during 8th century. Even in 717-718, Bulgarian Emperor Tervel, helped Byzantines to defeat the Arabs during the siege of Constantinople. Tervel was known then as 'The savior of Europe' and was granted the title of Ceaser by the Byzantines.
All your documentaries are great, but this one is spectacular thanks to finding that older atlas. Thank you for the great work :D
Thanks!
I was looking at it and found interesting fact: In here the city of Prague is portraited on the river of Elbe (Labe). The river is right but Prague is more south on the river Vltava (tributary of Labe).
Position of Prague here is more like the city of Mělník (confluence of Vltava and Labe)
On maps later in the video is position right
Rome in 300 AD: We finally established our empire and mostly united the continent, there won't be anymore wars for centuries to come!
Europe: Hold my wine
Oh, god. "Western" maps of Eastern europe usually looks like shit xD
Borders of Poland looks strange in 7:20. They should have Mazovia at this time and they show it as part of prussia. 1500 map of lithuanian border is also wrong as at this time they had acess to see already. And it wasnt commonwealth yet. Just Poland and Lithuania. 10:38 map shows Warsaw in the place of Lublin. Also for some reason lublin land and big part of mazovia are ukrainian/belarusian. There is a lot of german dots in east slavic sea but not a single polish dot east from river Bug. Strange.
Poland Empire and Austria and Bulgary were basically fighting for the Eastern of Europe
The map of Europe in 1225 also got Poland really wrong. Not only did they show Poland as a unified country (I mean ok it could be overlooked if they at least didn't get the other borders wrong) but Silesia wasn't a part of the Holy Roman Empire for over 100 year after the map date and Breslau location is completly missed. The Teutonic Order didn't exist in Prussia yet and Pomerania was a part of Poland. Silesia is the largest mistake though, but I see many maps depict it wrongly, which is really sad...
@@christophermichaelclarence6003 we never had a "Polish empire" but ok
Altamente!
the olive oil conspiracy theory🤣🤣🤣🤣
Beautiful video
0:03 Very clever, I see you took out the controversial Crimea - cropping the map so that it shows everything west of that region.
I think the map you are looking for is at 7:22
I think he means 0:05 as Crimea is not visible at all
Lol you can see the white borders around the map, he didn't crop out Crimea, the map was already cropped
Kindgom of Galicia.
Gallaecia Regnum!
You're a great teacher. Thanks for your videos. Best wishes from a teacher in Cambodia.
It was a lot to take in, but I enjoyed it
We litteraly have similar content
8:39
Brussels is in the wrong place lol
That is not the only reason I do not like historical school maps. Sloppy borders to the maximum and omission of small states.
nice video, i have the exact same book but in flemish
Really detailed work, but i think skipping 1821 was a bit off, there were so many changes from 1821 to 1830 and the Balkan Wars
Have you done anything about the Polish "empire" after the end of the Kievan Rus??? There's some very volatile history there that people may find interesting,
For that matter, why wasn't 20th-century Poland labeled with its name? Nearly all the other countries were.
Poland had a land from Baltic sea to Black sea. That was original land of Slovak Poles
A video about Polish history is on the list!
@@General.Knowledge Thanks! Going to watch it now!
@@General.Knowledge Hello again...
Have you considered doing a fun with flags for the Caribbean countries? While most of the countries are quite young, there are some interesting things to talk about...
I like what you’re trying to do here but I find the pace far too quick.
Great video, thank you very much , note to self(nts) watched all of it 12:11
oooh .. I want this book :|
Great video, thank you. Have you read The TIMES Atlas of European History? It's been around a while now. It is a superb book. I find historical events are easier to understand when using a map. It puts things into a geo-political context. Some your brilliant channel does with flare!
0:03 I see what you did there...
The map "Europe after the treaties of Westphalia" is highly inaccurate, at least for Sweden/Norway/Denmark. Don't know about the rest tho.
Fascinating. Thank you.
Been to every UEFA country apart from 3. Faero Island, Georgia and Armenia.
Great video
hi! where can i find these maps & more? great video!!
Make a vid of the caucases
I like how Portugal has a different name for HRE compared to Brazil. Here its called "Sacro Império Romano-Germânico".
I noticed that it was written “Santo Império” but I’ve never heard it being called that way in Portugal=\ we also learn it at school as “Sacro Império Romano-Germânico”
@@Tusiriakest In one of the maps it put the city of Melilla on the location of Fez so... I wouldn't trust those maps completely.
I learned more about my country’s history, France, on this channel, than at school in 15 years.
Only thing wrong is that Moldovia and Valachia(parts of Romania today) were never conquered by the Ottomans and annexed to their empire...they paid tribute and were vasals but were never conquered
Nice!
Oso where do you get these maps n stuff?
Love the maps being Portuguese a little touch from the homeland is always welcome
Hello what's the best way to get started with trade cos I've been making my personal research for a while now
The History of Asia in Maps.
Who cares
History of Asia is lame. Only China is huge
@@christophermichaelclarence6003 False. Asia was so much more complex than Europe, that you have to cover it by regions. Everything past that is overkill.
@@christophermichaelclarence6003 what? Asia was complex at the time all empires started there.
What software do you use to create your RUclips videos?
You explained it better than my university teachers. Our teachers do not use maps in the lesson while telling history.
Unfortunate that they placed Dorestad to far westward, and they also did not take in account the changing geography of the Netherlands.
Very good video as per usual, but you really need to raise the volume. I can't listen in the car nor public transport with a bit of surrounding noise
Isn't 'Charlos magnos' Karel/Charles the Great in English?
These maps are not very accurate when it comes to the boarders of Switzerland. Still a great video you made!
Just love how for some reason the maps are in portugese
He's portuguese
Here before this video becomes famous
8:22 vc's chamam o Holy Roman Empire de Império Santo? Interessante. Usamos o termo "Sacro Império Romano". 🇧🇷
1990: German Reunification
1991: Dissolution of the USSR
1992: Break-up of Yugoslavia
1993: Dissolution of Czechoslovakia
2006: Independence of Montenegro
2008: Independence of Kosovo
The most interesting part is how north of Danube in Eastern Europe there's no data for anything up to the 1300s when all of a sudden Bucarest appears on the maps. What happened since the Romans left in the 200s for over 1000 years? yes, there were the barbarian invasions but that's about it.
Well done! You completely missed out the British Empire.
he did say breif explanation he also forgot finland who cares
We need Emperor Tigerstar to review these now =D
Ih carai, o dono desse canal é BR ou tem ligações com o Brasil pra ter conseguido esse livro
He's Portuguese. There's always a hint or easter egg to Portugal in almost every video.
Do this for asia
no mentioned of greece and russia vs ottoman, or the germans vs the russians to release the baltic countries or even finland
yeah he said it was a brief overview. you got warned yet still soiled you pants
Maybe its something too much to ask but if u ever can do a video for Kosovo and albania about the changes through the centuries
من يكون هذا الجنرال كينولدج أو نولدج؟ هو زعيم في اوروبا؟.
"We can see that the goths mostly focused on the balkan regions, italy and a LITTLE BIT of southern france, and mediterranean spain" - next map visigothic kindom holds almost whole Spain, while ostrogoths are mosty in Italy 🤔 This narration is a little misleading. Also Alans and Swebs had kingdoms in Spain, if I remember correctly.
Yes, the Suevii had a kingdom in what is now Galicia and Northern Portugal. The Alans I'm not completely sure, I don't think they established a full on kingdom, maybe some settlements, as the Suevii were the most powerful till the Visigoths came.
I would like to know what countries existed in Europe and who ruled them from 1600 to 1820. Anybody help me?????
That’s why Spanish people is Roman-Latin? Is Germanic-tribal? Maybe Arab-caliphate???
Haha The Belgian anthem playing in the background no wonder i heard it of all people
Is that the Belgian national anthem in the background?

"Americans" are all people who live in the American continent, not just in the United States
Strange question. But are you Portuguese?
10:05 As a Pole I call BS on this map. Poland was wiped out off the maps since 1795, being dismantled by Russia, Prussia and Austria. The land that we see here called "Polonia" is in fact the Duchy of Warsaw, that in years 1807-1815 was under the rule of the Saxon king. Then 1815 was dismantled again by Russia, Prussia and Austria and after that the Polish Kingdom was made, but under the rule of the Russian tsar. Poland didn't really have independence from 1795 to 1918, that's why the day that the WWI ended (November 11th) is the Polish National Independence Day, cause that day we regain independence under the Threaty of Versailles
I really want to make a video focused on the various partitions of Poland throughout history
@@General.Knowledge Wow. You're in for a treat then, cause Poland has a pretty complicated history and the Partitions of Poland are one of in not the most important historical roots of this country, there's so many other historical events and interesting facts connected to them. I could be one of the best sources for you to make this video, since I can name and depicit most of these things of the top of my head.
When Poland disaperead in 1772-1795 in was biggest geopolitical change in the WORLD in 5 hunderts times.
Russia came to european theather...
Its so disrespectful just to skip the time from 1300s to 1500s. Everyone mentions the Polish-Lithuanian Commenwealth, but forgets that these two powers have been the biggest countries between that time.
That map of Europe you used to represent it today is outdated because it's shows that Crimea is part of urnakine when since 2013 or 2014 it's a disboit area between Russia and unkraine And czechia it label as the Czech republic which was the name of the country after independent until 2016
Showing this maps to ultranationalists from Balkan will just make them confused cuz they belive alternative history
DO YOU KNOW WHO LIVE ON BALKAN IN 6000BC?

Too much info in too short time.
You spoke faster than you usually do.
Just slow down the video
Spain resist the french they could never control all of Spain.
Not exactly. They controlled us to some degree. France even put a puppet king in Spain, but we revolted and caused a guerrilla war that we won in the end.
Correção: os mapas não estão em português e sim em Brasileiro Europeu
