Ok to post opinion on MyHeritage here? Okey? Okey. I actually purchased 4 kits so far and even though the results were mostly the expected boring "yes, you are a hungarian, deal with it" there were still some fun things to discover. For instance my grandmother is 12% irish/welsh/scottish. And 12 percent is pretty much a great grandparent. That is rather strange, because it would mean there was somewhere a pretty much 100% gaelic ancestor and the funny twist is that if the gene passes down though sons I should have around 3% of it. I don't. All the fun being said, one should always do their own research on the test at least a bit, for instance what it offers compared to other options, and I'm pretty sure none of it would stand in any court. Also take it into consideration that the base package is actually enough to sate most people's curiosity, the company does otherwise employ every trick in the book to prompt you to spend more money. For instance the package is literally always on sale, so don't be fooled by the "only 3 days left" kind of deal. I suggest to treat this potential purchase as "recreational activity"

Funfact: My great-grandpa had a shoemaker shop in Bucharest. It was quite big, so he had many apprentices under his command. One of them was called non other than: Nicolae Ceaușescu. My family has a picture of him with his prentices, and we always point out the young Ceaușescu. My grandpa was probably around 6'4" and in the picture he is just towering over him, it's quite a funny sight. He had that big ol' Székely moustache, and he is in the family's legendary to this day. He died in 1964, just one year before Ceaușescu came into power. Once, when my grandma asked him how good of a workforce was Ceaușescu, and he famously answered: "He is just alright, altough not great for many things." 💀💀💀 (Love Romania 🇷🇴, from Hungary 🇭🇺)

As far as I know the peace with Domitian was actually pretty good for the dacians, they were nominally vassals but actually RECEIVED tribute, in exchange for being a close ally, protecting the borders, keeping the peace etc. More importantly, the dacians also received engineers, architects etc which helped them build their fortifications, artillery etc. It wasn't the dacians that were paying, it was the romans, and that's why they were super pissed off about this shameful peace (but Domitian had to do it as he had rebelllions as well as german incurrsions to deal with).

I have never seen anyone accusing Poles of being Latins so it never made sense to my why use of Church Slavonic and Cyrillic script would make Romanians Slavs. Their adoption was because the Latin was used by Roman-Catholics, and the other major liturgical language and script, Greek, was used by Byzantines whom the Vlacho-Bulgarians rebelled against. You should have also mention John of Hunedoara, whose family was Wallachian, and gave Hungary its favorite king. You're welcome.👍 And the problem with Romania in WW1 was that upon joining and declaring war on the Central Powers, the British and French were supposed to launch massive coordinated offense against the Germans and Ottomans we wouldn't be overrun. But the Franco-British offense failed to materialize. So despite initial success in Transylvania and Austrian newspapers decrying this was the end for them, Romania was overrun. Also the Russians became increasingly communist and were more preoccupied with looting whatever they could get their hands on than doing anything helpful. I remember seeing an old wartime newspaper snippet talking about how one Russian soldier had fallen into a wine casket and drowned while his unit were looting a winery. And the Royal coup against Antonescu happened because Churchill promised Michael Romania would be under the western Allies protection against the Soviet offensive. Churchill however forgot to inform Stalin of this, like how he forgot to inform King Michael that he promised Stalin he'd leave Romania under his sphere of influence at Yalta in exchange for Greece. One last thing I have to mention is that the open resistance against Ceausescu did not start with Lazlo Tokes. In the mid 80s as the quality of life was declining the factory workers syndicates began openly striking as a form of protest in Cluj and Iasi. The last and largest one was the Brasov Revolt in 1987, which ended being quashed by the army and Security and its leaders were tortured in prison. Tokes' preaching was the straw that broke the camel's back.

The bit about Church Slavonic is likely a joke about how some people claim that Romanian is a Slavic language (and it's true that the language has plenty of Slavic characteristics). It's not that using Slavonic and Cyrillic script makes Romanians Slavs, but that some people use it as an argument towards Romanian=Slavic. It's not like Polish had major Latin influences. Romania on the other hand, did have plenty of Slavic influence.

5:30 János forgot to mention that the settlers left with the army and that romania only became romanised in the 12th century. The territory ceased to support life and thus culture couldn't have survived. 8:20 incorrect, transylvania had no romanian population at the time of the hungarian migration. 8:31 Incorrect again, it wasn't Géza, but Andrew II. The longer the video goes on the more accurate it becomes. I attribute this to Ceacescu propaganda which is still taught in some romanian schools.

The thracians were actually quite good in battle. They used the falx which made the romans reinforce their helmets when they came back the second time.

Great video! I'd like to add that Romania's history is much more complex and it's spirit is based on mysticism. One quintessential Romanian balad that represents this spirit is "Miorita". In this tale a shepherd learns from his prophetic sheep that other two shepherds plan to kill him and take his herd. He accepts his fate with stoicism and tells to his sheep in a descriptive way how he wants to be burried, if this is to happen. This is just a simple and short summary. The balad is longer and marvellous, capturing the spiritual and sometimes (not always...we defended our country many times from invaders) fatalistic view of life of the romanians.

[@AzoRevan]

Personally, I think that balad is bullshit, because it quitesentially encapsulates nothing of the spirit of the nation. It's not fatalistic and stoic, the spirit is savvy, sneaky, oportunistic and calculating. From the time of the dacians, proto-romanians and then later, romanians always seeked ways to upend the staggering odds against them and find victory and sucess at the oportune moment. It kinda is a disservice that history tries to paint romanians as stoic and brave, when they are enduring, murderously determined and ruthless when oportune. All the great romanian historic moments were like this. Oh sure, stoic and brave are 'nice' qualities to have in a people, this is why everybody wants to be stoic and brave, and not enduring and ruthless. Not me though. Basarab at Posada, Vlad Țepeş and his night attack and impaling reputation, Stephen the Great at Vaslui, Michael the Brave at Calugareni and later the lightning campaign throughout the romanian states are all stuff that someone thought: "hey, you know what, waiting to die because the neighbours are plotting is stupid. Let's make THEM die instead." Doubly electing Cuza, picking the winning side in WWI, scraping out of a impossible situation in WWIII and casting off the shackles of tyrrany in '89, all this is way cooler and pride-inducing than some asinine idea of stoicism and acceptance of fate.

The part about Dacia has some inaccuracies. 1. The Dacians were Thracians, yes. The Getae were a tribe among many. The Dacians split from the Thracians sometime around the early 1st millenium BC. Prior to that there was another split, the Illyrians and the Thracians. In other words Dacians were related, distantly, to modern Albanians. 2. Burebista did unify the Dacian tribes and held expansionist policies however after he died his kingdom dissolved instantly. Decebalus kingdom was hardly an empire. 3. Dacia never paid tribute to Domitian. Domitian paid tribute to Dacia in the form of goods and skilled engineers in exchange for Dacia maintaining the peace on the Danube and protecting Rome from invasions 4. Trajan invaded Dacia in order to rectify the humiliating treaty signed by Domitian and because Rome desperately needed gold not because Decebalus raided the south of the Danube.

@@Medvelelet No, there is no indication that the Roman settlers left with the Roman army.

"transylvania had no romanian population at the time of the hungarian migration" There is no evidence to support that statement, which is rooted in Hungarian revisionism.

Nice video, but you are wrong with the Fanariots. The Romanian Principalities were always ruled by Orthodox Christian rulers, these were the terms of the capitulations. In fact, if a ruler became Muslim, he could never again be a contender for the throne (a couple of them did this to have their lives spared and then they left to live somewhere else in the empire). So when the Otomans brought the Greeks from Fanar to rule, it was to replace local rulers with a domestic powerbase with outsiders, less inclined to rebel. The principalities were never governed by a pasha, an Ottoman governor. In fact, Muslims were not allowed to own land and to build mosques there.

Buna ziua! romanian here I want to tell you first of all I love your videos, second of all The battle at Posada was between the Hungarian king Carol Robert of Anjou and Basarab I. The battle took place because the Hungarian king wanted to take control of a strategic point in Wallachia called the Severin Banat. Basarab I refuses to cede the territory and thus the Battle of Posada begins. I think the confusion with the bulgarians is because Hungarians are also called "Maghiarii" in Romania, which sounds a bit similar to "Bulgarii" or Bulgarians in english

[@dariadragu6995]

Also Stefan cel Mare did not receive the title of Champion of Christ { actually the title from romanian it translates to "the best athlete of Christ", because athlete used to mean warrior, in romania we also have this word "atlet = athlete = warrior" in the Battle of Vaslui. Another voievod called Iancu de Hunedoara or Iancu of Hunedoara receives this title after he participated in the Siege of Belgrade. The Pope of Rome named him this way because without the help of Iancu's army Belgrad would have fallen intothe otoman's control threatening the power of Christianity in Europe

18:50 This is the biggest mistake so far. In the Russo-Ottoman war of 1877, the Turks were not "pushed back to Constantinopol" (Instanbul) and then Romania declared independence. In reality, the Russians were stopped cold by the Turkish fortifications around Plevna, in Bulgaria. They asked Romania to join the war (even if it was in name a Turkish vassal) and Romania accepted and declared independence. Romania's brand new and inexperienced army then joined the war and was so instrumental in breaking the Turks, despite heavy losses, that their military commander, Osman Pasha, insisted of surrendering to them, not to the Russians. So Romania didn't gained independence for free but paid it in blood.

[@CipiRipi-in7df]

Actually they were pushed back to Constantinopol. Plevna capitulated in January 1878, and Russian Army resumed its march toward Constantinopol. Stopped only when reached San Stefano, then a suburb of Constantinopol, when Ottoman sued for an armistice.
