History of Germany (Documentary)

In this one hour documentary, we will unravel the history of the Germans from their prehistorical arrival on continental Europe in 2000BC up to the unification of the German people under the flag of the German Empire, orchestrated by Otto von Bismarck of Prussia in 1971, followed by the horrrors of the 20th century - the first and second world wars, which resulted in the final unification of Germany as we know it today.

Despite not being a German myself, I couldn't be more proud of Germany. It's so fascinating to see how Germany got the blame for literally everything throughout its history, yet the country bounced back every time and now it's a leading nation many other ones could take as an example. The resilience is beyond admirable. I look forward to the day I will see the German flag proudly being waved in the country. It might as well happen right now, because the Germans deserve this.

According to the narrative traditions collected by Anno, the Bishop of Cologne and some other documents the Bavarians had come from Armenia."..if interested regarding Bavaria...according to linguist Setyan..Language as a fingerprint. Princess Verver was exiled from Armenia due to struggles between the Peasanrt, Nobility and the Armenian church..He was the leader of his clan that settled the land of Bavaria..from His name Princess Verver..also see Vita Altman A German chronical of the 12 century..if interested..From ( Griffith. 1889), ed Muller 2007) The Rigveda’s is an Indian scripture of the encounters with the Aryan migrants from the Armenian highlands to the Indus valley who formed the nucleus of the future culture of India.

damn! Dude... I never knew to think that a mapper like you can so informed, yet know how to be rhetorical in how you present your videos. Xd As you know, mapping is very unrealistic and even though it is not mapping video, this video impressed mee! I watched the entire video. I am so happy to stick with you channel this long, and see you evolve into a content creator that is even better at a different genre than mapping! This might be your best video ever, or I don't know actually but I am start to think that is might be the best video you ever made! I even felt goosebumps when you said, "Germany is and will stay one of the leading power in the world in terms of everything and that is something to proud of". Though I am not german nor even have an ounce of german blood in me, Germany seem went trough a lot phases yet today it is even richer than the United Kingdom in terms GDP after the fact that the treaty of versailles ruined Germany in the 1920s. I feel like the random rise of nationalist parties might forget that Germany is not pandering state but it is a literal SUPERPOWER of it own. Like the Nationalist have more reason to proud of their country now then worry about the fall of their country because Germany is in much better state now than it ever was before. Like Germany is in charge of the EU (or at least holds a lot of power in EU basing this off my background knowledge). In some ways, they are kind of living the dream the 1940s Germany wanted, but in peaceful, not racist, and actually unifying way which is a Germany that is in charge of Europe and it literally happening in modern times. Germany learned from their past and now a powerful force of it own. Asides that, Awesome video. Really informative and I like the EU4 music. I felt nostalgic mapping goosebumps from it as well!

[@Siegbert85]

Too bad you missed Henry I (the Fowler), father of Otto the Great. Most historians would name him the first proper king of medieval Germany. He's the first strong king after a number of weak Carolingian/Frankish kings and founder of the first Saxon dynasty. He brought Lotharingia into the realm and unified the tribes under one rulership so that they were able to fight back against the invading Magyars. He also signed the treaty of Bonn with his West Frankish counterpart Charles the Simple in which they acknowledged each other as kings in their respective realms thus cementing the divide between France and Germany for the future.

@@deutschermichel5807 I can see why some would, but I'm not sure people at the time would regard the both Frankish kingdoms as truly separate. Conrad I wasn't a Carolingian but he was still a Frank. Before the Carolingians the Frankish kingdom was ruled by the Merovingians for centuries, so a change of ruling dynasties wasn't unheard of. It wasn't until the treaty of Bonn that both kings definitively named each other as sovereigns in their respective realms.

I am nitpicking, but there are quite a few factual errors in this video. To name a few: * The person you showed beside Bismarck (at 26:07) was King William III of England and certainly not Wilhelm I of Prussia/Germany. * Hindenburg was Reichspräsident from 1925-1934, not Reichskanzler. * The Nuremberg Laws were put into place in 1935, not 1933. * Erich Honecker was not "chancellor" of the DDR, but General Secretary of the SED and chairman of the National Defence Council. Beside that, you use the word "infamous" way too often and often (in my humble opinion) in a wrong way, e.g. why are Friedrich Nietzsche or Max Weber "infamous" philosophers?? I really appreciate your effort in making this video, but there are tad too many errors in there.

Because of the still existing ethnic tensions, his explanation of the balkans probably angered many Balkan people and his video might be considered "biased" because of his Serbian nationality, the balkans are also a recurring joke on the World wide web (aka internet).

Great presentation and summary of a most complicated set of historical events which took place across Europe. One can't help but wonder why Europe of all nations on the face of the Earth would be the theatre for centuries of rapacity, greed, and obsession with power and conflict. I would surmise that it was the combination of a small geo-political landmass, the attendant need for space and resources of countless rival tribes hungry for power and prestige---and the rapid development of intellectual capacity that allowed for the inventions of the most infernal and devastating weaponry and military discipline. Also, the moral corruption within the Church going back to the Middle Ages rendered Christianity unable to edify and reform human character and behavior. Making the cultivation of moral attributes and respect for human life irrelevant and obstacles to the urge for power and wealth. Aside from those root causes, a wealth of secondary outcomes derived from the absence of a strong sense of Morality too numerous to elaborate here led to further forms of depravity and inhumanity. Sadly, the ghosts of those bestial conflicts and attitudes are slowly arising nowadays in the forms of Right-wing extremism across Europe, Brexit and other political upheavals, and a desire for stifling nationalism and insularity among many Europeans in the face of new social complexities exceeding what the Age of Reason and the German Romance period gave expression to troubling social developments which the status quo Religion was incapable of addressing adequately.
