The Viking Expansion Compilation | European History | Extra History Complete

📜 Enjoying this updated compilation of our Viking Expansion series? Then why not take a moment to visit our Patreon bit.ly/EHPatreon ✅ Where you can suggest & vote on our next topics!
The medieval Scandinavians left an impact not just on Greenland and Iceland, but on France, England, Russia, Ireland, and even briefly North America. But how did Scandinavian society begin, and what incited its voyage across the seas? Who was Rollo "the Walker" and the Great Heathen Army? How did Thorgest shape the religion and culture of Ireland? From the Rus Vikings to Greenland explorers like Bjarni, Freydis, and Leif Erikson--aka "Leif the Lucky", we'll be following the Vikings and their impact on cultures around the world.
We really enjoyed revisiting this series and getting to implement the viewer feedback that Rob had previously only been able to address in Lies.

Thanks For this Guys! A compilation about these amazing videos?! You guys always know how to surprise! Keep beign amazing. Watching it all right now😊😊😊😊❤❤

[@also_arles]

Never expected you guys to make a full-on compilation for one of your series, but this is one of my faves! Definitely going to do a well-needed rewatch with this! 😄

[@martinkulash4061]

More complete series like this. I often put in a series when cleaning or exercising and it's so much better if they just run together instead of jumping videos after each othe

[@jeffery4085]

This is great you guys should do more of these complete series

[@tomaspadilla209]

More revitalized compilations, please! This is great

[@27Games23]

I absolutely love the updated full series. It’s your decision if you want to do more of it. Seriously, I like the full length videos since I get a full unstopped series of it

@@extrahistory I love your channel, it's taught me a lot about history that I didn't know, and a lot more about different culture's folklore and I just want to say I appreciate what you do.

[@oldwolflogan4224]

Honestly, I love this whole concept, and would adore it if you could do this for your entire backlog. A tad unreasonable, I know, but Extra History is a great way for me to pass the time while I'm washing dishes at my night job, but KZbin Autoplay doesn't always play what I want and individually selecting episodes I want can be a bit of a hassle. An hour long compilation is exactly what I need.

[@zakrom8521]

They have Playlist of most of their videos, bit I agree 💯

[@4362mont]

My complaint about YT for the day is: that, while we here in this home will watch this at least one more time, i can only 'like' it once.

Parceling out content in smaller chunks when it's brand new is really fun. But once a series is out then I think more compilations should be made. I rewatch EH content all the time, videos in this format (once fully released) would be great for me

[@coletrain3162]

The idea that so much violence was precipitated by lactose intolerance definitely feels like history.

Can't believe you guys finally made a Complete series on EH so I don't need to skip the episodes between😍😍😍 Do the rest for us, please!!!!!!😍😍😍😍😍😍

Re-uploading the older videos all together in a large format is a genius move. And it seems to work out great for other channels with multi part content ! Hope to see more.

This channel is just so perfect: the balance of history and comedy with a impeccable narrative. 51:53 really got me rolling on the floor. Please keep up with more videos like this (and I'm opting to watch this instead of studying for my exams next week).

[@lostastronaut5865]

Now, this is truly interesting. I wonder, which series is next? Personal I hope it's the Khosrau series.

[@the_guy_from_the_voults]

the beginning theme was coool as heck

[@beaverbeaver526]

That intro was something else! So used to hearing that gentle tune one way that it shocks me to hear a different one. Dang. Edit; As a longtime fan I’m also pleased with how some of the older segments has been reworked or tweaked ever so slightly. Nice. I’m LOVING this longform format. Hope we get more of these with various epochs. The Vikings hold a special place in my Scandinavian heart, but I can’t wait to see stuff like the Bronze Age civilizations, or perhaps a collection of your WWII and WWI clips.

[@dogood8750]

Love this please do this for each of the series if you can it's easier for me to research and I'd love some extra insight the tidbits that we get in lies in the actual video for more context
