Why is DITHMARSCHEN a PEASANTS REPUBLIC in EU4? 

there are more!?

@@quil180 Friesland and East Frisia, I believe were made to be peasant republics as well in 1.30.

3? Which would that be? There were way more in the Free Frisian Lands

@@GroundThing No Friesland and East Frisia weren't united entities at that time, east frisia only united in 1460 and that under feudalism, although there were many peasants' republics in the areas known as the "Free Frisan Lands"

Another thing is that after the battle he just went home to be a father. One of his kids was born while he was away.

That's the spirit of republicanism😌 Death to all kings!

wholesome

long live the revolution

@@theleninator5739 Yes!

Also east frisia

@@pixel-hy4jx thats more or less what he said. Well ment he ment to say east frisia.

@@Newbmann No, both Friesland and East Frisia are peasant republics.

@@Der.Preusse oh okay then.

Dithmarschen is one of the only nations I can actually play as in Europe and not immediately fail at due to those missions and ideas.

Dithmarschen is actually pretty easy, compored to nearly any other nation in Germany imho

@@JJmusic1915 Really? Explain your process, I've not gotten a good game going yet and I'm curious to hear any suggestions you have

@@someguy6651 My stable opening: force declare war on a Ireland nation without allies. Take most of the lands on the Ireland. Then go back to Germany finish your first mission. Then see if u can get Poland as your ally. Beat Denmark (ask for money and release one of their PU country) or wait it out for 5 years. Then go back to Scotland. Denmark war could be really hard if u are not out-numbering them 1 to 2 (allies can be quit stupid, try to let them siege Denmark first instead of Sweden, otherwise they might peace out) Rest, integrate subjects, eventually take England, Denmark, Sweden and Norway. Then peasants war, religious wars. Finally, disband HRE/or sneak in to Russia. Colonize NA if u want to. (I war England with Portugal as ally. Got to Iberia that way)

Well thats really not why the PLC that owned alot of eastern europe was catholic and durring that time Ruthenia was actually majority catholic before the russians conquered the area and later russification was the nail in the coffin.

It wasn’t catholic, but unificatory. Like orthodox, but believing the pope.

@@Newbmann it was in communion with the Pope under Poland-Lithuania, they were Orthodox in all but name which is why it "converted" back so quickly after the Russian conquest. The ones that didn't convert are called Greek Catholics.

@@napoleoniii8372 catholicism was the actual majority for a short while there mainly due to the mongols conquering and pillaging the region. After the lithuanian conquest before even the PLC it was majority catholic since well the orthodox population got "depopulated" to a extreme degree. It wasnt really "devoted catholicsm" under PLC rule it became more catholic before slowly became more orthodox again even before the Russian conquest.

@@Newbmann not at all, they was not catholic. In cities there was uniatic people - something between catholicism and orthodoxy. While in country peasants were mainly ortodox

Hey, glad you enjoyed it! I'll hopefully be pumping more of these out soon so stay tuned

The almighty Jan Hus and his defenestrations.

Was about to say exactly the same

lol I immediately hit the space bar to pause. So much trauma.

yes

Well, you're clearly a cabbage. Cabbages aren't known for playing a lot of EU4.

Hi there, this is the wiki link: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John,_King_of_Denmark. He attacks Dithmarschen, not too sure how Margaret comes into the picture. Any ideas?

@@TheSocialStreamers I was wrong abut the thing with Margaret. But after a quick search I found out the king you referred to (Hans) ^^ Love your videos. Keep up the good content

Oh yes, I meant to say one of rather than only. Thanks for pointing that out, regardless I think Dithmarschen is much more famous for being a notorious peasants republic.

Mao would be scared they would give him the same fate as "Rudolf The 2nd".

Based!

@@Newbmann Mao was a peasant lol

@@yamameeven967 he born as a kulok but he sure as hell didnt stay one. He would be terrified once he got into power. Theres a reason he knew so little about stuff like farming his policies caused the largest famine in chinese history he did 0 farm work.

It didn't last long in the real world and eventually got conquered by Denmark
