Gesh, what else... oh that’s right, they adamantly considered themselves Hellenic, like only Hellenes would. And they were able to participate in the Olympics, which was strictly for Hellenic men... so they were able to do that... So with all that info, I guess they must be... what? Celts? Sythians? It so hard to tell! Oh, but they were at war with the Athenians, who for geopolitical reasons labeled them non-Hellenic (mainly Demosthenes). No other polis besides Athens said they were Non-Hellenic, but let’s just trust, without any critical thought, that the Athenian politicians at the time were completely impartial and objective. And ignore everything that I mentioned at the beginning, because obviously all Barbarians normally worship Hellenic Gods, speak a Hellenic dialect, have a Hellenic Civilization and claim Hellenic ancestry. And obviously all Barbarians can complete in the strictly restricted Hellenic only Olympic Games... I need you to know that you’re an absolute genius... And I’m not being insincere at all... 🙃🤥
Bulgarian empire mapping What is the Empire of Sealand anyways and why is Bulgaria not a part of that meme? Sealand exists as a micro nation. That’s a fact. Also, Seborga is in a similar situation. Also, do this for all of the other permanently inhabited continents .
In the Iberian Union, Portugal and Castile and Aragon were different kingdoms with the same king. The territorial extension should be noted today for both Portugal and Spain. Because the kings were the same of both.
@@PedroGarcia-yn3im But Spain (Castile) reigned supreme in both cases, Spain was the one who invaded Portugal and Portugal became a province of Spain, the way they showed Iberian Union as Portugal's largest extent is like saying the Third Reich is Czechia's largest extent.
I won't try to explain it again if you think that Macedonia was the Macedonian Empire I am just gonna copy-paste it. Macedonia doesn't have any connections to the Macedonian Empire except the name. They just think they are their ancestors because of the AntiBulgarian campaign that is still holding place until these days.

For some countries you actually need the entire world map because of the colonies. Also the Netherlands for example still today has some Caribbean islands as official part of the Dutch kingdom. Just like how many people forget or don't know that Alaska is a part of the USA for instance.
I’m from Sweden and incredibly interested in history and i have to say that I’m pretty sure Norway was never as big as you drew them on the map and can’t really be called an ”empire”. They had the now swedish provinces of Bohuslän, Jämtland, and Härjedalen which we later conquered from them. It looks like you also gave them parts of Värmland, Dalarna and Västergötland which have always been swedish core provinces. Otherwise, great video :)
hva faen er du po, norway was huge with greenland iceland and parts of america with the nordth of scoltland and svalbard, we had also big parts of sweden and finnalnd and russia
You missed Courland-Livonia. That was Latvia at it’s biggest extent (Estonia and Latvia and the colony of Gambia) The year is around 1492. Still great video!
Oh yeah, Polish - Lithuanian vassal. Sad thing is that Poland never managed to have any colonies, so our only ones were colonies of our vassal Courland - Semigalia: Gambia and Tobago.
@@johnnyjoestar5193 well, if Poland - Lithuania had colonies (and managed to keep them for some time), it would be maybe a much stronger state. Maybe it would avoid partitions and ever fall apart. Maybe it would be among strongest states in the world and Europe - France, UK, Russia and else were much stronger because of having colonies. Who knows how the history would have gone. Today, Poles, Lithuanians, Ruthenians and other PLC nations while travelling abroad would speak their language with people from different part of the world, just like Brits, Dutch, French, Spaniards, etc do. Polish - Lithuanian Commonwealth would maybe be alive today and it would be among the strongest economic powers in the world, not like today (where Poland is still far from Germany and UK). I know, not having colonies means that there is no nation who hates you because your ancestors killed and enslaved his etc. But then, who said it wouldn't be like with UK, with who Canada and Australia have rather good relations? I'm not someone who says colonialism is wonderful thing. It isn't. But if you do it right, it won't be bad either.
Dudes, I know that the video is a living example , that youtube loves to recommend shitty videos. The point of this video was to entertain my viewers, while I finish some bigger projects for them, but it ended up getting 1 million views.
I just wanted to note out that you made a few mistakes in the video, for example Latvia used to be a bit larger. It's Pytalova that's owned by Russia nowadays
Yeah yeah the whole point of the video like this is to show information and actually help people learn something, take the video down and then reupload it and fix your shit
Romania shouldn't be represented as Dacia , you should have searched for the 1918 Romania that included Republic Moldavia and other counties(BTW if WW2 wouldn't happen Romania would still be bigger nowadays)
Be grateful to Mother Russia! The suffering and a million dead during the siege of Leningrad was made possible by YOU. At such acrimonious circumstances many, Hitler included, would fiNNish you off at their point of victory. You must've been shaking in 1944.
Im pretty sure this video is about the past to the present time, I know these concepts are a bit alien to time travelers from the Andorran Star Sovereignity (ASS).

A few mistakes: 1: When you showed the UK at its largest extent, you forgot to show their colonies that were visible on the map (Iraq, Jordan, Cyprus, and Malta) 2: Why did you show Czechoslovakia for Slovakia? The capital of Czechoslovakia was Prague, which is hundreds of kilometers away from Slovakia. 3: Wasn’t the Iberian Union created by Spain?
What about the European Colonies that these past empires fully owned? Belgium, Britain, France, Holland, Portugal or Spain (possibly the Kingdom of Italy, but of course no one want's to see that.)? These should not have to particularly be in Europe,.. I would not think. And of course, my point of the argument, i'm pretty sure that these empires were larger than a few of the ones listed in the video.
A "few" inaccuracies ? A "few" ? This video basically starts with an inaccuracy - Austrian Empire wasn't at it's largest in 1801 because: A) it didn't even exist before 1804 B) it owned all the provinces shown in the video and additionally parts of Northern Italy (Lombardy and Venezia regions) in the 1815-1859 period. And the vidoe doesn't get much better later. To several omissions add the silly mixing of very short term war occupations with actual ownership. Short term war occupation that somehow count for Germany during WW2 but not for others ? How is that consistent or logical ? And end it all with the really silly pairing of modern Italy with Roman Empire. This video is ridiculously bad as far as historical education goes. Or silly if you look at it as a joke).
You'reThatMantis The British ended up kicking the Romans out, the Romans then went and conquered elsewhere. The video was European countries at their largest, the Roman Empire was bigger without Britain than it was with Britain. Aka the Roman Empire did not have Britain when it was at its biggest.
Man, I was still tricked. The author supported an incorrect date for Austrian Empire's greatest extent, and the same empire owned Bosnia & Herzegovina, and Northern Italy regions. There is a bit more that Wasyl Wasylson pointed out. The author of this video definitely did not recognize any of these facts. COME ON!?
Anywhere But Here! Lol? That's a huge lie. The Roman Empire abandoned Britannia in the 4th century because it couldn't garrison it AND the border at the same time, not because they resisted in anyway. And in 117 Britannia was as Roman as Rome itself xD
Eastern Block wasn't part of the empire either. Not even all of the Soviet Territories were (Moldova, Western Ukraine). The Empire was bigger because it had a huge chunk of Poland, and all of Finland.
@@sambaseck73 I wasn't sure which northern territories the Empire had so I kinda just mentioned the general area. I know the eastern block expanded even further down so my bad.

I mean not totally accurate but still enjoyable to watch:) A few mistakes I found: -Greek at their largest was the Macedonian empire, not eastern Roman. -The French empire in 1920 (after ww1) was bigger than napoleons empire that you showed. -Latvia and Estonia used to be slightly bigger before they got annexed by the USSR -You counted occcupied German territories as their territorial height but if that’s the case, Finland should be bigger at their height as they briefly captured parts of Russia during ww2 before being pushed back. -The Iberian union was Spanish dominated, not Portuguese -Belgium used to own Luxembourg for some time/personal union so in other words: they used to be bigger than they are today. Denmark at their biggest should technically be the Kalmar union as they were the dominant power in that union Still good video tho :D
@@albanianedits Ancient Macedonia was a Greek people group that is today part of the modern Greek people, Just like how Prussians are German people despite having their own country previously. The modern country of Macedonia only shares the name with the ancient empire, while the people themselves are closer related to Bulgarians, Albanians and Serbs/Slavs. To find some common ground then ancient Macedonia doenst rly have a modern country, but of the countries alive today then Greece is its closest relative
@@albanianedits "Greeks wouldn't hate each other"...Ever heard of Peloponnesian war? Ancient Greeks were never united as a nation, there were several Greek city states who were at each others throats all the time. King Phillip II of Macedon was able to unite the Greeks through subjugation, except Sparta, though he didn't even attempt to
1:54 is false, Finland had more territory after treaty of Tarto in 1920 which includes all the territory in picture and also stripe of land in north-east called "Petsamo"
All this video is BS. At the beginning he switched Austrian flag for Latvian flag. Also a fail for Estonia, we were bigger before WWII (also to do with Tartu treaty). Guess he just wanted easy fame and forgot to do some real research...
If it was map of Europe, but it included land masses in over continets(in the past) England : Thicc France : Thicc. Latvia : Oh look, I own this small Island in Africa I can call myself a coloniser 😉.
@@junidaydreamer it wasn't exactly latvia, livonia was a country in a latvian and estonian territory, yet the country didn't have latvians but other nationalities. latvian wasn't a thing until in 18th century when the latvians started to form in russian empire with their ways to later announce latvia as a country in 1918. So yeah.
Alexander The Great was not greek! 🤦♂️ He is an ancient macedonian, who had good relationships with thracians, dacians and more. We have a lot in common with thracian people, but whatever you have heard is not the whole truth! Bulgarians may be even more ancient than I think, because history is written by the winners. The thruth is spoken from grandfather to grandson. Only then you 100% know the truth. However even before 680 Bulgarian tribes existed.
Just pointing a few mistakes: 1. Finland owned Petsamo in 1920s 2. Estonia and Latvia lost some tiny pieces of land to Soviet revolutionaries back in the day, so they were bigger before 2018 3. Russian Empire without Moldova? Not even a vassal? Dude... 4. Yeah sure, Portugal is the Iberian union, but Spain is just the Spanish Empire, of course 5. If year at it's largest means just territory land mass, then France would have neen bigger in 1939, when they owned a big chunk of Africa.But if by "bigger" we mean the land that really matters, then Austria was bigger in 1914 6. -Feudal Hungary used to own Naples (half of Italy basically)- (not exactly, my bad) 7. Since you also count unions, Denmark was much bigger when the Kalmar Union was still around. Like, you know, all of Scandinavia. 8. When showing Germany, Denmark isn't shown as occupied territory, and Slovakia isn't shown as a puppet Also, Crimea isn't shown as occupied during ww2 9. As for Moldova , their biggest size was when they proclaimed the "United Provinces of Wallachia and Moldavia, something close to the Crimean War, I can't remember the year 10. At it's biggest extent, Russia owned the eastern part of Trebizond, If I'm not mistaken 11. Belgium was bigger before 2018, when they had their -rubber extraction concentration camp- Kongo colony 12. Bits of desert in Syria and Iraq are not shown as Ottoman clay The list keeps growing from the comments
There is also a mistake in the Ottoman Empire. It used to own all of syria and iraq. Then there are alos mistakes in the european side. The Ottomans used to own all of crotia, all of hungary, and parts of astria.
@@dgsf9444 Yes, I'm historian. (Didn't expect this, yeah?) And I can tell you why Ukraine has no connection to Rus'. Because do you know what city was the first capital of Rus'? Novgorod! Rurik came to Novgorod, not Kiev and became the first ruler of Rus'. Kiev even wasn't the part of Rus' at that time. And Only after Ruriks death and Oleg had become the ruler of Rus' he took Kiev under control and called Kiev the new capital of Rus'. So, as you can see, Ukraine has no connection to Rus' and actually was largest at 2013

2:58 Truly Italy, during the Roman Empire, came to occupy a slightly larger territory at its highest level of expansion: add to the map all Great Britain except Hibernia (Ireland) and Caledonia (Scotland), and to the east it expanded across the Ponto Eusino (Black Sea) coast, completely occupying the Crimea, and then even Georgia, until it touches the shores of the Caspian Sea. Veramente l'Italia, durante l'Impero Romano, arrivò ad occupare un territorio leggermente più ampio al suo massimo livello d'espansione: aggiungete alla mappa tutta la Gran Bretagna esclusa l'Hibernia (Irlanda) e la Caledonia (Scozia), e ad est si espandeva su tutta la costa del Ponto Eusino (Mar Nero), occupando completamente la Crimea, e poi anche la Georgia, fino a toccare le coste del Mar Caspio.
Despite these details the date is right, in fact the Empire reached its maximum expansion in 117 AD, thanks to the conquests of the Emperor Trajan. Nonostante questi particolari la data è giusta, infatti l'Impero raggiunse la sua massima espansione nel 117 d.C., grazie alle conquiste dell'Imperatore Traiano.
Questi comunque sono gli attuali paesi su cui era distribuito il territorio:  Abcasia  Albania  Algeria  Andorra  Arabia Saudita  Armenia  Austria  Azerbaigian  Belgio  Bosnia ed Erzegovina  Bulgaria  Cipro  Cipro del Nord  Città del Vaticano  Croazia  Egitto  Francia  Georgia  Germania  Giordania  Grecia  Iran  Iraq  Israele  Italia  Kosovo  Kuwait  Libano  Libia  Liechtenstein  Lussemburgo  Macedonia  Malta  Marocco  Moldavia  Monaco  Montenegro  Paesi Bassi  Ossezia del Sud  Palestina  Portogallo  Regno Unito  Romania  Russia  San Marino  Serbia  Siria  Slovenia  Spagna  Sudan  Svizzera  Tunisia  Turchia  Ucraina  Ungheria
