This channel is the embodiment of the teacher who actually makes learning fun
If you don't mind the misinformation
Yeah Aht
@@inotaishu1 where exactly is the misinformation? He delivers nothing but facts and cited his info.
@@GodpraisethePALANTINE Sorry, that comment was too long ago. I don't remember this video anymore.
It's attractive because it's a fast food history. If you wanna learn true history, you must read books, but in modern era people are too lazy and wanna find easy ways to have a glimpse on history and other sciences.
I love how you cover so many topics in such a short amount of time. I never lost my concentration once! Nice!
How much information did you retain after 7 months?
@@timdolinger1352 All
My brain has never learned something this fast.
Yeah, our Fairy Tales are famous for scaring every child...
This is such a good format because you make things so accessible. I like learning about the history of countries I cover for my own TH-cam travel channel, and this helps a great deal. Thanks for posting.
I do the same thing but in a podcast, Mr. History is the GOAT
This is the first Mr. History Video I've ever watched and it helped me with a project about German history
A great video! Even tho you needed to keep it short you got so many things explained well enough. The story of Germany can be seen as quite tragic when thinking about what could habe been if not for some terrible people and sad events
I can't believe this video only has 20,000 views so far. It deserves more.
And a good pronunciation of German words. Unfortunately, this is not a matter of course on TH-cam xD
Who else is happy he actually talked about hitler and nazis unlike most history youtubers cause they are to scare if getting demonitize he even show the nazis flag so for that alone you gained my respect that you are not scared of demonization like most histort youtubers these days cause it is honestly pretty cringe when they do not mention hitler exactly so thank you
I have never seen a historry video about Germany that didn´t do that
@@Jog_l well u seen this one
@@Jog_l me neither. Seems that's the only thing people are interested in
literally everyone does
you must be living on a different planet i assume? because everytime i want to learn anything about german history i only get bombarded by yes germany bad yes only nazi in germany yes nazi germany and bavarian bullshit that has nothing to do with germany
I CAN’T BELİEVE HOW SUCH AN AMAZING CHANNEL CAN BE SOO UNDERRATED ALL THAT EDITING MUST’VE BEEN REALLY HARD TO DO BECAUSE IT WASN’T JUST COLOR IT ACTUALLY MADE LEARNİNG EASIER
YOUR CHANNEL IS UNDERRATED. Hoping you get more subscribers!
Brilliant work, as always!
Amazing! You are well-informed. Great information and historical analysis.
The whole time I am watching the video:
" *Oh, it's coming* "
Thanks for the videos. I really enjoy them. You tell just enough to get the point acrossed, but want to learn more and more about it.
Also the oldest representation of the human body (Venus vom Hohlefels), the oldest piece of art (Löwenmensch) and the oldest reprensentation of the night sky (Himmelsscheibe von Nebra) are from Germany
The Germans are kindly loaning the remarkable Nebra Sky Disc/Himmelsscheibe von Nebra to the British Museum for an exhibition next year
@@131alexa Let's hope they give it back …
@@hape3862 It'll cause an international incident if they don't lol.
It's in The World of Stonehenge exhibition till 17 Jul 2022.
Your channel is wayyyy to underrated 🤷🏼♂️👍🏼
I think im in love with ur channel
"The Germans started searching deeper into their own souls to express them selves and what they found were the seeds of the romantic movement" - Casually dropped the hardest quote about german culture
Thanks a lot for this impressively informative and balanced summary of thousands of years in only 10 minutes. If you watch it in double speed you can learn in 5 minutes tons of things even average Germans do not know.😁
This is the best short video on german history
this video deserves my subscription full stop
Damn dude, this video is amazing.
You're not like there is only good and only bad but you mention both things (for example the part, where you said WW2 wasn't as heroic as in the movies and games)
He only speaks facts. It’s undeniably true that Nazis were pretty bad people. And it’s true that most of them were really evil people. But the Allies were no saints. Bombed cities were thousands of civilians were killed. Raped and murdered children and women. The Second World War was bad on all sides. But the winners write history. And just swept their crimes under the rug and pointed at the Nazis.
And if there will ever be a third war the winners of that one will probably do the same. War is never good. Atrocities are often committed on all sides.
The Mcdonals sign to denote the west was superb
😂 The thing about fairy tales being more violent than horror stories are so true🥲
😂😂
Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪👍
Great video
Very interesting video, well done
Very good!
As a German
I approve this
really great work! Also that you had the Hanseatic League intus and that many fitting details (which show that you had some more knowledge). You even also named correctly (where most fail) 'Karl der Grosse' (his real name) and not (just) 'Charlemagne' (which was not his true name - just a later localized version from the French - wrongly copy-pasted by the English). Only correction: the Proto-Germanic had its origin NOT in Scandinavia but Northern Germany. ALL of this side of the Kurgan (hypothesis) branch like Proto-Germanic (Northern Germany), Proto-Slavic (between Poland-and more Eastern), Proto-Celtic (Austria/Southern Germany) and Proto-Italic (Hungary) had its origin not far away in what one could describe as Central Europe (most likely due to its geographical interface position). The other branch was in Anatolia (Greeks, Etruscan etc.)
I'm curious about the research, where is the info from? So detailed.
He put a link in the description.
This should have more views than it does, you've earned a subscriber!
This video reminded me about why I'm proud to be German
1. causing two world wars and immense suffering of milions of people. 2. giving the world a lot of new technologies (of which many were actually developed during and because of wars) are two the most prominent of German's "achievements"... that's definitelly something worth manifesting proud in youtube comments -_-
The Germans also invented cars, aspirin, coffee filters, decaffeinated coffee, and tape recorders. So there!
@@Citizen0fUtopiaoh shut it. We are also entitled to be proud of our country. Comments like yours are purely toxic.
@@Citizen0fUtopiayou are trashy!
😂 love the commentary.
Damn. That just summed up a whole lot. 🤟
9:46 is picture of Wrocław (Poland) although it used to be called Breßlau
Lot's of pauses needs to be make to follow that speed flow of information 😀
As a German I must ask: how dare you not mentioning our BEER? Well, the video is nice, though.
It is shown in the first 5 seconds of the video
Beer pretzels and sausages
Because beer is Millenia older than Germany. But technological advances and big trade routes do help make beer better.
I wonder, if it was intentional that a picture of Breslau was sneaked @9:46 in the section of "Germany today"?
also the holy roman empire had various free states, free cities and imperial lands which where bascially villages under the direct control of the emperor himself and to confusing things even more it also several non member states represented because they controled territory inside the empire, sweden, denmark and at points france and spain.
Nice
As rich as germany is, you often hear that germanys lower class is growing ever so slightly that more & more people drop out of middle class
Came here after saying how well he pronounced Lithuanian on that video, and am now questions how the heck is can pronounce these so well. Even, me, a North German (I say North German because there’s a difference in North and South pronunciations) was in awe.
We all came here for one reason…
That’s awesome thanks for the laugh
I didn't expect it to be possible to talk about Germany's history in just ten minutes 😬🙈 🇩🇪

Great video, but a couple of nitpicks: at 7:06 , don't you mean Austro-Hungarians?
This is Germany 🇩🇪

"not bad for a country who's fairy tails are more violent than most horror films."
I'm german and didn't know that out fairy tails we're that brutal lol
That's because you haven't read the originals... the current versions are dialed down considerably.
@@Siegbert85 interesting...
"A Super Quick History of Germany"...... how Super quick? 10 minutes
History channels made videos about like that in like 10 to 30 minutes
While I like this series very much, I also noticed some huge mistakes. E.g. just in the Germany clip I noted two of them. Martin Luther wasn't the first successful protestant leader as many people are still thought. 100 year prior to Luther Czech priest and scholar Jan Hus criticized Catholic Church for its corruption. It was the time of three popes claiming the holy office. His and one of his students were burned alive in1415. This sparked Hussite wars were farmers, men, women and children defeated 5 holy crusseids. Most notably under the leadership of old Czech warrior Jan Zizka. Pope had to acknowledge at the end Hussites as legitimate religion. Next mistake is the fact that Hitler annexed Austria and English and French let him to occupy sovereign Bohemia and Moravia hoping to appease the mad idiot. First after that - he and Russians attacked Poland.
I have to disagree with your statement about Luther not being the first successful Protestant reformer. While Hus had quite a following, it quickly petered out after his execution. Luther, on the other hand, was backed by most of the German rulers ( who were tired of paying high taxes to Rome.) And the Catholic Church was unable to stem the tide of Protestantism after the invention of the printing press.

How holy roman empire was formed
Either by Charlemagne taking on the title "Emperor of the Romans" by the pope in 800 AD (effectively starting the tradition of a German king being crowned emperor); or Otto Ist being crowned emperor in 962 after having defeated the Magyars and taken the kingdom of Italy. The 2nd one would be the clearer starting point although medieval chroniclers would always count Charlemagne as their first emperor.
@@Siegbert85 thx bro

very fitting time for an upload about germany, considering the protests in berlin...
No he just does countries in alphabetical order
@@a.h.tvideomapping4293 i know that. nothing i said goes against that fact
And gummy bears
what did they play? rock music hahahaha
Don’t worry, the Germans would probe to be good at that (mechanical) too 😂
So when jesus was 9 y/o the germans beat the crap out of the romans, good to know
if he existed at all
ah good old herman the german beat the romans.
Big missinformation, celts are germanics they are the same but the only difference we can say that was there is language but the culture and living and ethnicity was the same
Speaking different languages is what made them different people.
Germany 🇩🇪
Thank you for talking the truth about the allies invasion

Apparently, the flag of the german empire got banned in germany
Only in some of our Bundesländern (they're like states in the us) because people that Protest against corona rules used it so they just said the people who use this are all nazis (they aren't) and banned it so they can arrest the people against the Corona rules
@@theranredguardist1949 that's so fucked up
Don‘t just believe everything a random person writes on the internet.
It’s far more complex: the flag is not banned, but it can be confiscated by the police in some federal states, if it’s shown during protests in an aggressive way and you also don’t get imprisoned for showing it.
If the police in Germany would like to punish people that protest against corona rules, they could just enforce the already existing hygiene laws and charge all of them for not wearing masks.
Not bad for fairy tales to tell children😂
That's the porpose of those kind of videos, offering a fast food history to lazy people who don't read books.
"Made the mistake of invading russia" okay then were do you think hitler should of gotten oil then to fill the massive deficit
Expensive nuts
🇩🇪❤
I can’t wait to se your history about israel
Walter von der Vogelweide was an Austrian
What makes you think that? According to his Wikipedia article the place of birth is unknown but probably Würzburg.
Anyway, there's no way you can distinguish between "German" and "Austrian" in the high middle ages.
@@Siegbert85 The Region that was most likely the Vogelweide is in Austria...
@@Jog_l "was most likely" but where is ur proof

This video is so full of errors and just completely incorrect statements that it's just depressing how truth has become a dead outdated concept nowdays
Don't listen to that video. Arminius didn't lead any germans, germans didn't exist as an ethnicity back then and there is no evidence as to what their gods were called. And the name "Odin" is definitely wrong, that is a scandinavian name. The god that is supposed to be Odin in the "south" is Wodan, and for that one we have no evidence prior to the 6th century. Why do you english speakers constantly get this wrong?
It's pretty much the same name but with dialectal variations that led to different spellings.
And by "Germans" in antiquity they mean Germanic people. It's a common short term in English.
@@Siegbert85 Well, it is wrong.
@@inotaishu1 Says who? It's the name the Romans used. "Germani". I'd say it's more correct to use the term for Germanic people of antiquity than modern "Deutsche".
@@Siegbert85 And what exactly has that to do with what I said?
@@inotaishu1 I assumed your "it's wrong" was about Germanic people being called "Germans". What else did you mean?
