Very nice video but I suggest a shorter title to make it explode

@matfhju Год назад

An amazing video👏👏 weary detailed. There was however one story that I wish you culd have included. The Allies bombing of the uboat bunker at Laksevåg. Well the uboat bunker was their target, they ended up jus bombing all of Laksevåg.

Wars ward and more wars. Was humanity ever designed for peaceful cohabitation ?

@GeoPerspective Год назад

I don’t think it’s quite that bleak, there just isn’t that much to talk about in between the wars 😂

History only register the highlights, nobody will want to remember that you and your dad walked to buy bread for 20 years.

@thomaslove6494 Год назад

It's one way to look at things... But remember that right now is the most peaceful time since civilization began... It looks like humanity will continue to become more and more peaceful as time rolls forward... No matter what media headlines try to portray.

Lovely video, but there's some minor inaccuracies. For instance, Denmark-Norway where *not* forced into the Napoleonic war by anything trade related, that was how *Napoleon* was *planning* on forcing us into the war, what happened was a preemptive attack by the UK, the bombing of Copenhagen... After reducing much of the city to rubble the city allowed the brits to sail away with half of the Danish-Norwegian navy. Ships that had intentionally been parked in Copenhagen without sails or even rigging, so no ropes to joist sails or anything like that, essentially over two weeks worth of work required to make the ahips capable of fighting a war, in order to seem less like a threat to the UK...

Along with the Faroe Islands and Greenland, Iceland also was 'given' to Denmark in 1814.

The Black Death year was 1349, not 1394. There is even a Norwegian black metal band with that name.

Excellent video

@ditm02 Год назад

August 2nd of 1965? Is that a typo? I am confused a bit. Did you mean 1765 or 1865?

@volpilh Год назад

A little correction, Bergen was not the first capital of Norway, nor the most prominent. Niðaróss (Trondheim) became the first "formal" capital following the unification (being the seat of the archbishopric), and although there were several other royal residences, and a good deal of capital changes, in which Bergen which was only one out of many. The capital later moved to Oslo, more permanently, before the entire statehood was couped by Denmark during the reformation, after which Norway was governed from Copenhagen. Bergen has however been a critically important part of Norway's trade and economy, being the interface between Norway and the Hanseatic League, and it could easily be argued that it for a *very* long time was the real seat of power and wealth in the realm.

Sorry, but you can't proclaim either of those (Trondheim and Bergen) as capitals, at least in the sense of what a Capital is today. The concept of a modern capital was not present during that age. Instead, as you mentioned, the king ambulated between several cities. Trondheim remained important because of the Nidaros church but was not the first capital either. If one considers the royal residence as proof of capital, one would have to consider Harold Fairhair's royal residence at Avaldsnes (Karmøy), later Alrekstad (Bergen), and later still in Alvheim (Sarpsborg). As you mentioned, Bergen was by far the most influential city, and also the biggest up until 1830 at least, when it was overtaken by Oslo which had been the capital (or the main city for governing during the Danish rule) for centuries already, probably from around the early 14th century. The reason for this could probably be because it was closer to Copenhagen than Bergen was.

@@almost_harmless Yes, this is usually called "palatium", or "palace", and was especially common in the kgd. of the Germans and the early Holy Roman Empire. As for the closest thing to a permanent "centre" of Norway, I do think that Niðaróss is a fair answer, given that this was where seat of the Archbishopric. Is it entirely fair? No, in England, the primary Archbishopric was Canterbury (and not London), in France, Troyes (and not Paris), etc, but given that the royal court of Norway was not at a static location, it does indicate that the Þrǿndalǫg likely was one of the most, if not the most politically relevant areas in medieval Norway, probably owing to population and agricultural output alone. This is also indicated by the political relevance of the Þrǿndalǫg before Christianisation, attested in the íslendingasǫgurnar.

@@volpilh I mean, I wish it was a certainty, but I am pretty sure most historians shake their head at a capital in Norway until Oslo became the seat of (most) power. Before that it was a traveling court. That said, thank you for a good and decent reply. I enjoyed reading it.
