The History of Europe: Every Year - Historian Reaction 

I hear ya. I look back at stuff I’ve done and think the exact same thing.

You are so cool! You even mentioned the Swedish Deluge, overtaking Poland in 1655-1660 (that was just a blink of blue on the vid, but such an important event for my country's history)! You did an amazing job! Subbing immediately!

@@TheMalcontentPole As a Swedish person I humbly apologize for my country being so damn badass back in the days. And we also did some f-ed up stuff to you guys, sorry...

​@@person3538 No worries, it's a history now, to be remembered, sure, but not treated as a way to shame someone. Every country has its share of things done, some of them not very pleasant. Your king, Karl X Gustav saw the opportunity to attack and seize our lands, also thanks to Polish traitors (Radziwill nobles) supporting him and the attack.

@@VloggingThroughHistoryyoure so supportive of smaller channels this is one of the reasons you’re my favorite person on the platform

I took Koine Greek in college so I try (not always successfully) to get them right.

​@@VloggingThroughHistoryyou and I both. In fact, working on my masters and in my 3rd year of Koine Greek

@@HistoryBluff137 I didn't expect many other Grecophiles on a channel that deals mostly with modern history. χαῖρε!

@@TheNeonParadox Ἰδου, και το φιλος θαυμαζε.

Don't take this the wrong way, but I sometimes find it kind of funny when English speakers stress about "correct" Greek pronunciation because it's always going to be an approximation using English phonology, and it seems like vowels don't really matter to them. To me, it doesn't seem too far-fetched to pronounce the C in Seleucid as an S when 1: It's already a Latinisation of the term of 'Seleukides', and English speakers consistently pronounce C's before i and e as S in words of Latin origin ( see Caesar). 2: It's been Anglicised so the Latin ending has been removed from 'Seleucides". 3: The vowels are completely different in the original pronunciation, not to mention the pitch accent and stress which are different, so it seems a bit arbitrary to focus on the C. I'm not saying that I pronounce Greek words perfectly and better than you. I'm just saying that people from all over the world have pronounced Greek names using their languages' phonologies for centuries and have gotten the point across successfully, so maybe we shouldn't really stress about pronouncing them 'correctly'.

Hell yeah!

You know it

Yeah, especially by Marriage. The only conquests were that of 1066 and Anarchy from 1135.

Kings of England of that time were also more french than english. Richard Lionheart spent most of his life in france and spoke some old french dialect. Feodality isn't a system that promote nations, people belong to a land and the land belongs to the person with the corresponding title.

@@tibsky1396 You forgot the conquests of Henry I. When Henry I defeated and captured his elder brother Robert in the battle of Tinchebray (1106), the nature of the relationship between the kingdom of England and the duchy of Normandy reversed. The temporary anomaly of the Duke of Normandy claiming the throne of England (as under William I) ended with William's will splitting the Dukedom of Normandy (inherited by eldest son Robert) and kingdom of England (inherited by second son William Rufus), or when Robert mortgaged his dukedom to William in 1096 (to fund his participation in the First Crusade). So Matilda's claim (inherited by Henry II) is what was invoked in the Angevin conquest of Normandy during the Anarchy in the name of "titles/properties of the king of England", which Henry was fighting on behalf of his mother in the 1140s. Of course there is also the added complexity of "nationalism" fostered by Edward I wasn't there yet so "England ruled those part of France" isn't what contemporaries would think, but "king of England also ruled those parts of France" would (especially after Henry II mortgaged off Aquitaine and locked up his wife).

We are certain though that Rome is the largest city for at least 500 hundred years and Constantinople for at least up to 1204.

@@majorianus8055 Cities back then was a lot more defined though, but you are right. For example Rome could be defined by the city walls and surroundings. Today due to urbanisation its a bit more complicated. But you are completely correct was moreso meant for more recent times.

Yh I agree, I think that would be a wonderful reaction

The topics are very rarely chosen in Patreon. I may be putting vote up once every month or so for one video, otherwise I choose everything myself based on recommendations from people like you.

Isn’t it Brian boru? And I always wanted them to make a movie covering the only high king of Ireland

Except I mentioned Portugal several times

I mean, it does say Swedish "states" and only Sweden later on.

I don’t think the video was implying it was a state.

@@jokemon9547 Which in fact are an issue in itself. It's like Francia would be labelled as France.

You keep suggesting that video, but I don't even see it on his channel. There's one about interesting facts on VPs and there's one about Weird facts for Presidents, but not VPs.

@@VloggingThroughHistory I didn't remember the exact title of the video. Whatever one says something about facts about the vice presidents. I didn't know you saw my other comments, but know that I know you did, I will stop spamming this in every video you upload.

It’s a gradient across Eurasia. No real reason to try and categorize everything perfectly

OTTOMAN LAND İSTANBUL BİG POWERFULL CİTY.

Istanbul is a European city. It is just that Turkey is treated as "Middle Eastern country" that is probably confusing you. You just have to apply the same thinking about the Canary Islands (or Melilla or Ceuta) -- Spain is a European country, but these places are geographically classified as African.

700 YEAR İSTANBUL.

@@genghiskhanmn You don't even know your history bro xD

@@Equilibrium21 OTTOMAN 600 YEAR İSTANBUL

I mean, not really, if you are going to be pedantic like that then it would be Konstantiyye as well. Even Istanbul has been uswd for more than a century as it also derives from Greek

Yes
