This channel is primarily dedicated to making History content. I am a specialist in Classical Greek history, but I cover a broad range of topics. Most of my videos are university-style lectures, but often with more humor and more obscure subject matter. Some of my videos are lectures from university courses that I have taught in the past or that I am teaching in the present.

25:00 how did Livy not know which family was from which town, in spite of the last survivor saying "the first 2 where for my fallen brothers but this third is kill is for glory of Rome"?... Gonna tell me THAT was added in later too?... I think a part just died in saying that...
South Balkan till Adriatic sea was full of life during the Ice age when no one wester country did not exist. The oldest civilisation in a Europe. But westerns removed all from the history.....

Tarraco, Catalan speaking city since V century, ancient spanish language , as modern day spanish is felipist castilian, a genocide for purposes language. If you spoke it, is because you were forced to abandon your own native language
Stopped taking anything she said seriously at the claim that anything could have turned the tide of the civil war. Absolutely not possible. No matter what either side did it was mathematically impossible for the union to lose the civil war. The south lacked quite literally everything on every conceivable level that it needed in order to have even the smallest chance of coming out of the war successfully
As many stated, the map shown in the chapter "Controversies and Problems", is wrong. It must be showing the present or some 20th century situation. In Transylvania there is a 80 % hungarian population and the Albanians shown in Greece aren't Albanians but bilingual Greeks (speaking greek and albanian), called Arvanites in greek and Arnavut in turkish. Many of them were fighters and military leaders during the 1821 revolution. (Exemption: the Tsami population of Hepirus, who collaborated with the Axis & left Greece by the end of Greece's occupation.) There are no Bulgars in Greece too. They left Greece in 1923, came back during the Axis (bulgarian) occupation and left by the end of it. 20:00 +: Slaves that occupied the interior of the greek peninsula went away, after the recapture of these lands by the Byzantines; they didn't become Greeks. Very few of them stayed, mainly these who went far south, stayed isolated on mountainous areas which are called by Anna Comnene "Sklavenees" (Sklavinies) which means Slaveislands. Their population was small and was later absorbed by the surrounding greek population. According to genetic studies, the modern day greek population is identical to the one 4000 years ago & its DNA is 50 % similar to the DNA existing 6000 years ago. Vlachs (at least the ones at the southern Balkans) are not descendants of the Dacians. They are descendants of legionaires, who (when they retired) they were given herds to live and supply the legions. Due to this connection to the Romans, they spoke latin. They aren't Romanian. This is proven by the fact that during the occupation of Greece by the Axis Powers, there was famine. Romania established schools & provided food for the Vlachs of Greece, under the condition they were enlisted as Romanians. Very few were enlisted, they weren't accepted by the other Vlachs, and left to Romania, just after the liberation of Greece.
Also virtual hydlide for the saturn was AMAZING. Probably the first or 2nd rpg I played. I played final fantasy on snes with my brothers when I was 6 or 7 but in my pre teen years before the ps1 virtual hydlide was the first game I played by myself and spent hours upon hours playing. It was an elder scrolls type game and the graphics where different than just about every other rpg out. Didn't have the typical 3d art fantasy style is was more realistic based. Such a great game to me. Well, in my 11 year old mind it was. Haven't played it since then. I need to go to my mother's and dig my saturn out the closet and give it a play.
We loved our Saturn in my household. My father played Myst, that was a fun game. Me and my brothers played nights into dreams. That game was so amazing back then. The graphics and moment was great for the time. The color waves and how the textures popped out at you was exciting and beautiful.
Man I was hoping to find out if Zhuge Liang was in the first twenty or latter thirty two (the group with the greatest officer). But I'll still be here next time!
Hancock is such a scammer. And bitter too... All he does is whine, he has no credibility whatsoever. I was so angry at his Netflix show... Not one evidence whatsoever and he said the stupidest quote I've ever heard: "I'm as much of a sudo scientist as a dolphin is a sudo fish." That should tell you this guy is a moron.
I kind of want to see you guys do something like this for Shiloh, especially since Sean has talked about researching it. Just don't stop making ACW videos.
Hey Mhistory man!..i have an honest to god good question regarding this time period... I couldn't help but notice that the narrative of "the history of the republic's slow transformation into the Empire"... Alot of credible historians blame the "death" of the Republic on alot of people... But none of them from the obstructionist wing from the conservative branch of the Senate.They blame Both Ghacuss bros Marion Pompey Sulla Caesar Anyone pushing Italian Right as demigogs (some did) The best examples (imo) is that when Tiberius Ghraccus was clubbed to death, i heard alot about how Tiberius opeded Pandora's box in so many ways (which he did, ill give them that) but... I dnt see the same level of blame, twords the peope who killed him... Do you agree? Im at least aware that you are aware there was an onbsteuctionnism going on, that was a real problem. Not so much Marious for reforming the army during alife or death struggle against the Germanic tribes, or the Chracci bothersa land reform bills... With thay questions come REAL question im here to ask you sir ...... Was Monarchy the ONLY way to get past the oligarchic obstructionism?
The reason that the oligarchs are rarely or never blamed is that the histories were written by people who were sympathetic to their cause. It is interesting that the losing side in the civil war got to craft the narrative, but that is effectively what happened. Much of this sympathy came from senators in the early Empire, who wished that they could actually make decisions as their ancestors had rather than simply being a part of Augustus' administration. This led them to valorize the Senators of the past and their politics, even though most members of the imperial Senate were not from families that were included during the Republic and they could claim little to no kinship. As for whether monarchy was the only way out, it is possible. The only other solution would have been a strengthening of impersonal institutions, but because the Republic's greatest men were so wildly powerful, that would have needed to happen before Sulla in order to have any chance of being a lasting course correction.
@@ThersitestheHistorian that sir, was what confounded me so much... That even though they lost the war, the Senate still wrote the history. And Even though they wrote the history, people (despite the admitted Holocaust) tend to sympathize with Caesar... Myself included. And I'm sorry you're right, let me rephrase that, idk if a monarchy was the answer, but it sure seemed like Augustus's monarchy was the answer... But now you made another good question pop into my head... Why do so many modern scholars and institutions still "blame" the transformation into the empire, on the reform faction? And thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to answer such layman questions from me. I always did
If you look at the problem on the chessboard at around 13 1/2 minutes you can see that the Muslim guy just put the Christian guy into checkmate. That's presuming that the Muslim guy just made his move which I'm guessing by his raised finger that he did. This has to be the first ever animated chess game summary. Also it is a representative picture so it could not have been done by a Muslim.
What?! Grant himself admitted that Rosecrans had a good plan in place at Chattanooga and that Grant only carried it out. That admission is in his autobiography if I’m not mistaken. Why all the vitriol? An historian’s first responsibility is to at least be honest, don’t you think? Your opinion is your opinion, and unimportant, but I’m astounded by your cavalier misrepresentation of facts here throughout.
Grant lost more battles than he won? That is patently false. I’m not certain that he lost any battles. Cold Harbor? No. He lost a lot more men than he needed to but he didn’t lose the battle. On what terms do you conclude that he lost that battle? Or any other battle he fought? He lost men. Nobody argues that. But he won battles. He beat Lee into submission. And, of course, surrender. Whether you like him or not really has nothing to do with how many battles he won.
