@@Daniel-jm7ts dude if it’s important for central Europe of course its important to all Europe...the same with other personalities or happenings in other parts of Europe...whats the thing?
@@Daniel-jm7ts You forgot to mention Italy, the north of which was ruled by Otto and his successors for quite a while. The Emperors of the Hohenstauffen dynasty even were Kings of Sicily, ie Southern italy. Slovenia, Croatia and Bosnia, later all ruled by Habsburgs who happened to be HREmperors. More importantly, in medieval and early modern times, all history is connected to the HRE Emperors, one way or other. Ever heard of the 3rd crusade? Led by Emperor Barbarossa - with King Richard "Lionheart" and the French King BOTH officially submitting under his command. Until he drowned in a stupid river, releasing them from their oaths (which in turn caused Richard some trouble returning, needing ransom money to get out of prison, leading to the whole Robin Hood story) ... That crusade had a big impact on the balkans, given that the main German army marched down the Danube, and the brother of the Hungarian king joined in. As had Ottos later successors when fighting and stopping the Ottomans. Teutonic knights (in general, not just the order as such) were a major force in the Iberian Reconcista and christianized / conquered most of the Baltics. The Fugger became rich as the bankers of the Habsburg Emperors - and then also financed much of the Spanish and Portuguese ventures into the new world when Charles V was both Emperor of the HRE and King of Spain and Portugal. Like Magellans first trip aroung the world. And provided the copper the Portuguese trading empire in Africa and Asia was based on. None of this would have happened without Otto I.

"Western Asia" the most retarded fucking thing I've ever heard lmao. The Urals is the border between European Russian and Eurasian Russia, Its not that hard.

Both the Vikings and the Magyars or Hungarians were to start with two of the most destructive enemies of western Christian civilisation and when they were eventually converted they turned out to be two of its strongest defenders.
The Hungarians are Magyars in language only, their genetic makeup, though, is typically Central-Eastern European, Germano-Celtic and Slavic admixtures. The Magyars, as it has been many times in history, were just a minority, who magyarized (don't know how to spell it) the locals. Like the Turkic people who turkified the local Anatolians, but are just a minority among the Turks nowadays.
@@adamthetired9319 Recent genetic findings show that Modern Hungarian genetics are 40% - 60% Magyar or a variant of markers found in Central Asia Germano-Celtic and slavic Groupes are only 10% - 30% and that varies from different regions. The Magyar predominant genes were R1a and R1b from matched to the Tarim Basin and Mongolia and the Siberian genes were N1c, Q1a, C3, which only made up 20% to 30% in total and some groups of Magyars had J and other middle eastern markers as well. The Magyars were not Asians from the Urals who came and ruled over a dominant Slavic Germanic population, but had a major impact and made up about 1/3 of the total population of Pannonia. The other 2/3ds were multiple groups such as slavs, germans, Seklers (Szekely) but were Predominantly Avar.
larrywave this is true but he was of a different house, Charlemagne being an old frank, Otto being a Saxon. His father Henry was the first king of Germany, he was given the east frankish kingdom by the king as he died, however it became Germany at that point because the saxons were now in control. This also separated forever the legacies of Germany and France/West Francia. So although they were technically related, Otto brought a much more German element to his empire. Remember the Saxons were among the last people converted to Christianity by Charlemagne’s Frankish-Roman Empire, now 150 years later a Saxon himself won a new German-Roman Empire. Quite a development. Otto’s state would continue in numerous configurations for a thousand years
I love your channel. You bring up people and things in history that I've never heard of. I hold no degrees just a commoner who has studied history for about 16 years. A few I have heard of. Obviously like Otto 1 I have heard of etc. Keep up the good work.
Otto the First and Otto von Bismarck (the latter was born near the grave of the former in Magdeburg) were quite similar in the fact that they were imposing people of extraordinary ability, respected and feared but not really loved (except by a few; luckily, their over-the-top harshness was complemented by the presence of people who were either more pleasant, or more PR-savvy), although in private life, both seemed to be devoted towards their women (Both also had mother problems - one of Otto's first acts as emperor was banishing his mother Matilda of Ringelheim who favoured his younger brother Heinrich over him, and Bismarck hated his "cold and unloving" mother as a child. The women they met later - Eadgyth and Adelheid in the case of Otto, and Marie von Thadden and Johanna in the case of Bismarck - seemed to to give them the "anchor" that they needed). Friedrich Barbarossa, for example, probably suffered more defeats/setbacks than Otto, but was a man both respected and loved, and thus is better remembered today (also because his Swabia, as well as Southern Germany in general, is a rich and strong region today, while the Saxon area does not fare as well - although this is improving)
Why is the former saxon region not doing well? Don't confuse saxony with the modern state saxony. The saxon heartland was what today is part of NRW and lower saxony and the northern coastlands. It is only that the saxon family name shifted eastwards to areas formerly slavic
@@nifrain9494 Magdeburg, Quedlinburg and Halberstadt are in Saxony Anhalt. Gandersheim is in Lower Saxony. The commemoration of the Ottonians concentrates there. That was what I was thinking when I wrote that. Certainly, by the standard of many countries, people living there are not starving ("does not fare as well" is not "does not fare well". And one may count Hamburg as "Saxon land" too...

You talk about the Magyar forces like they were destroyed, when in fact they suffered less casualties than Otto, the forces assaulting the baggage train escaped mostly unscathed aswell. They were forced to retreat and were later defeated decisively, but they definitely weren't destroyed at Augsburg.
@@rUckAmIng Most sources have reached a consensus that the magyars suffered most of their casualties while on the way back to Pannonia/Hungary. The only source that implies all the magyars were destroyed is a german monk from Augsburg, "surprisingly". It'd also make sense for the german forces to launch an offensive into Hungary rather than eternally defending if they would've infact utterly annihilated the magyar forces and took no significant casualties, which did not happen.
@@invictus7736 In foreign territory, 20% of the province's military could participate. The western turf was defended by Bulcsu and ther Lehel. The Hungarian army may have been Ausburgnál around 12-16 thousand .
C'mon stop spreading lies. They were absolutely destroyed in the final battle and that's that. Their leaders were killed and the few that survived fled into the area nowadays known as hungary.

I know the DNA ancestry can be a bit BS, but do others get highlights in theirs like they might be the lineage of some great person in history? The one my Aunt put in said they her side (which is also mine) said that the lineage of our family directly corelates with Otto the first.
It is a debunked misconception that the Pechenegs forced the Magyars to move. One that became a thing in the communist era. And the Magyar raiders did not sought slaves...taking people as slaves and selling them wasn't even a thing for them. You have to be careful with contemporary or wanna be contemporary western European sources because those contain a lot of untrue bullshit regarding the Magyars. And regarding the battle of Merseburg. It was fought between the forces of Henrik the first and a Hungarian division(!). The battle was lost but the Hungarian division did not lose many lives as they retreated from it in time. This was a small battle that was more of a psychological victory for the Germans as the Hungarian forces were back in 937 leading successful campaigns into Germany and France
According to the 10th-century Persian explorer and geographer Ibn Rustah, the Magyars did actually sell slaves to the Byzantine Empire in exchange for silk, ornaments and other goods.
You are from the less educated working class people (carftsman), known as proletarians, who did not have university degree, neither have a grammar school matriculation exam. With a great chance, you are not real Hungarian, but you are from the weird foreign turkic identity neo-cuman from Kunság Cumania region. You belive in conspiracy theories and pseudo history like turanism, and you visit the kurultáj events in Bugac Kunság.-
quite a few opinions and interpretations in here that have been stated as if they are hard facts. Because the Magyars where a confederation of nomadic tribes they never had what we would call a homeland. Rather they had an area of control that had been moving south and west for centuries. The Magyar campaigns in 954 and 955 where at the invitation of or encouragement from several German princes. It was not nation on nation warfare. Only 3 or 4 of the Magyar tribes took part and Otto did not have the German nation behind him. Otto spent most of his reign fighting his own people. Perhaps the epithet "the suppressor" would be more accurate. Calling the Elbe river the historic border between Slav and German people probably caused a few people to unsubscribe. Projecting the modern idea of borders back to a time like this is misleading. This description of the battle is mostly fiction (BazBattles has a much better video). We don't know the numbers involved. We do know that the Magyars rarely fielded more than 10,000 men and, using the list of German princes, Otto had 7,000-9,000. The idea that the Magyars didn't have time to launch a 2nd volley of arrows is just stupid. The key to Otto's victory was having well disciplined troops. The Magyars relied on being able to fight and retreat at will. In this battle they where forced to fight and couldn't retreat. It might be easier to tell history as a series of events but it could never cover the beautiful, intricate complexity of what really happened. History is more like continuous threads that both mix and diverge.
There are some mistakes in your comment. It is uncertain if the Magyars were invited or not. They had send some "diplomats" before to look at the situation in south germany. The war torn part of the country would have been an easy target for plundering, like the Magyars did prior in other regions of europe. So we don't know for sure, if they came as aid for the south german leaders or for raiding the easy peasy lemon squeezy part of germany. Otto had to put down any opposers and threads to his throne from the inside and outside of his claim, like any king or duke of his time. The Holy Roman Empire didn't just include Germany, but also Burgundy, Bohemia and Italy. And in all of these regions, wars for power were a common thing. For example, he claimed the italian crown by marrying the italian queen. Which was seen as a thread by his son of a prior wife, because she could give birth to a new heir -> so war it is! Calling him a "suppressor" because he had fought his own people is just exaggerating. And the numbers, we know for sure that Otto had 8 legions by a report of Widukind of Corvey, who also wrote down, that one bohemian Legion equals 1,000 men. He also explained that the people of Augsburg prepared for another siege, when thousands of magyars were riding to the city, after the battle took place. When they saw that they just were riding by, they realised that they were fleeing from the battle. So, we know on one hand that the battle was a decisive victory for Otto and on the other, that the amount of magyars fleeing was still great enough to be feared. According to the people of Augsburg, it were like 20,000 fleeing riders. But I think this is way too much. So while this number can't be validated, I don't think that they had like 10,000 men. This amount of men wouldn't be enough, especially after a decisive loss and heavy casualties, that could still be seen as a threat, so it must be more.
@@Rabauke84 Thankyou for your comment. I don't usually read or reply to comments on youtube as most are just trolls but you are actually adding something that is worth thinking about
@@Rabauke84 You're right, I shouldn't have used the word invited, a more accurate word would be encouraged. Magyars took the disunity in German lands as an opportunity for raiding. Epithets are always an exaggeration. Summing up a persons life in 1 word or a statement is never accurate. The epitaph "suppressor" is fitting because he spent most of his reign suppressing 1 rebellion after another. "peace maker" could be a positive epithet that says the same thing. As for numbers; we know the numbers reported in 1st hand accounts where little more than propaganda. We also know that in the middle ages fielding an army of 10k was only possible in ideal conditions. Nomadic people could mobilise more than that in a migratory confederation. The raid that led to this battle only involved the western tribes of the Magyar confederation. With the Magyars advantage in mobility they had no reason to engage an numerically superior enemy, so we know that they had more than Otto's 7 to 9k. Suggesting a Magyar force much more than 10k requires proof that this was an exception to what we know of medieval warfare and Magyars history. A Magyar force of 5k was enough to successfully campaign through northern Italy so the people of Augsburg could be justified in fearing much less than 10k
Knew about Otto the First. Not many people know this but the pagan German rulers were also the ones who converted to Roman Christianity. Shrewed but survivors!
Monarchy is a crap-shoot; you either can have an amazing King like Otto I, or a horrid king. I'd take that system over media-controlled democracy any day.
10:52 Mieszko paid tribute only from unknown and disputed territories (Pomerania? Stodorania? land of Lubusz?) as saxon chronicler Thietmar of Merseburg wrote Mieszko was “loyal to the emperor and paid him a tribute all the way to the river Warta” Some curiosity: Annales Fuldenses named Mieszko as Marchio of Nordmark ! And to be precise: Mieszko paid tribute to Otton I not as a "german king" but as an Emperor, successor of Charlemagne. A significant difference.
Well there is a dispute amongst historians over whether Charlemange the Frank was the founder of the HRE or Otto was the founder. Back in those times, the "Empire" was a patchwork of tribal dynasties that had not yet found any legit claim to the land they occupied. Much of Germany at the time of Otto was simply mud huts surrounding halls walled with earthworks.
@@christianfreedom-seeker2025 People build proper hall houses and farmsteats in German lands since thousands of years. They were not living in mud huts.
Yeah well, it wasn't really disputed. That is the whole point of mizko paying up like the lil bish he was. if he didn't the Ottonians may have attempted to take the land.
@@christianfreedom-seeker2025 LMAO. Neither was the Empire at the time a patchwork of tribal dynasties nor were the houses in Germany at the time mudhuts... smh. Already during ancient Germanic times they had built woodhouses in skeleton design and there had been roman-influenced and roman-controlled cities with roman architecture and stone structues all over the place. There also are Roman descriptions of Germanic fortresses on mountains/hills. In fact I can't even find any information about Germanic mudhuts whatsoever. By the 800s Germany already had huge churches, cathedrals and palaces for kings and coronation purposes and this already since centuries. The huge cathedral of Trier for example was finished in 340. Why do you even type comments when you have no idea about the topic at hands?
I am sorry to say this is *the* worst video I have seen on the Magyars in the 10th C. I am Hungarian and have been studying this period for some 40 years. Let's look at the most egregious errors: 00:12 'Spent centuries moving West.' Wrong. Archaeological research shows they spent one generation moving to Etelköz, then on to the Carpathian Basin. 00:35. "Pecheneg attack" made them move. This whole source (Byzantine Emperor Constantive Porphyrogenitus) is very questionable. There seems to have been some raid, but nothing serious. 00:42 The Magyars "launched devastating raids". What? Just like that? They occupied Hungary in alliance with the Holy Roman Emperor Arnulf of Carinthia. They defeated Berengar of Ivrea in 899, using, note, in alliance with Arnulf! They had 5000 men against Berengar's 15,000. When Arnulf died in 899 and the Hungarian envoys sent to continue the peace were arrested, THAT caused the war. There were border fights with the Bavarians (Austria hadn't been invented yet) and so in 907, the Germans decided to re-occupy Pannonia, Western Hungary. At Pressburg in 907, all the leaders of Bavaria were killed in an open battle which lasted three days. I note you carefully avoid mentioning that. Why? This was followed by punitive military campaigns (not raids!) In 908, the Magyars brought the Thüringians to battle at Eisanach, on August 3, 908, in which the Duke of Thüringia was killed. In 909, they destroyed Fresing but suffered a minor reverse at the hands of Arnulf the Bad, who had re-built part of the Bavarian army. He later allied himself with the Magyars. In 910, Louis the Child raised the entire East Frankish feudal levy in order to invade Hungary. The Magyars destroyed his army at the Lechfeld (same place) on June 12. All the Magyar attacks were done with careful planning and diplomatic preparation. They always attacked whoever was weaker, so they could not repeat Charlemagne's genocidal campaign against the Avars in the early 9th C. Another error: 2:14, the Battle of Merseburg in 933. This was no "decisive defeat" as the above mentioned Magyar victories were. One part of the Magyar army suffered a reverse, and withdrew in good order. The rest of the army was fine. Why did you not mention all of the above to give your viewers a more balanced view? Lechfeld 955 was indeed a big defeat of the Magyars, but it did not prevent further wars or attacks from Hungary, as you claim. In 961, the Pope asked for Magyar protection. As to the "huge Magyar army", the only datum we have on their numbers are mentioned above about the Italian Campaign from Regino, the Abott of Prüm. But I have a question for you and your followers: If Otto's victory was so complete, and you showed yourself he was an ambitious king, why did he not invade Hungary, conquer it and have the glory of converting the Magyars (many of whom had converted to Christianity long before, but not all)? Well, I'm interested in your answer.
1. From the ~5th Century they moved from the Urals to modern day Ukraine in the 9th Century. That's centuries, not a generation. Are you misunderstanding what I stated? 2. Numerous sources mention the Pechenegs forcing the Magyars further west. 3. You are denying the Magyars launched "devastating raids" on Western Europe? That is pretty common knowledge and historical fact.
1. I am relying on the most recent historical and archaeological sources published by the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. They state that new information proves the move was no more than 40-60 years. We do not have any material showing where the Magyars were in the 5th C. I would suggest you keep up with existing research. 2. "Numerous sources" are Constantine, who I mentioned, and one source in the West. That's far from 'numerous.' This has been very problematic and the majority of Hungarian scholars has dropped this as a reason. Constantine claimed that the Pechenegs had killed all the Hungarian women, but the graveyards show a full population, not lacking women at all. So that, among other things, has brought his works into question. Again, you are about 100 years behind the research. 3. I am saying these were not -- emphatically NOT 'raids'. They were military campaigns. Clearly, when the HRE invaded Moravia, or Hungary or anywhere else, that was 'devastating'. But the Magyar Campaigns were not more devastating than the murderous campaigns of say, Charlemagne. I would suggest get yourself updated information and re-do the video, correctly this time. It isn't fair to your viewers to 'teach' them material that has long been rejected by scholars.
I get my information straight out of published books on Medieval and Military history. You seem to only mention Hungarian sources for you information. If you want to talk about biases I think you might fall under the same category.
@@HistoryUncovered When was the Byzantine Emperor a 'Hungarian source'? I read the German literature, the Hungarian material as well as English-language literature.I also follow the Russian/Ukrainian material in translation. There have been a lot of discoveries there. Also, recent genetic discoveries are very interesting (available in English). With a few exceptions, the English-language material is generally very far behind. I am sure you do get your material from published books, that's the trouble. Rather go for scholarly articles. As for looking at Hungarian material, you must realise that the Hungarian academics are afraid of being seen as 'nationalists', so if anything, they minimise the achievements of the Magyars. If they have a bias, it's more against themselves. That IS weird, but that's how it is. But then again, if I was to study the American Civil War, wouldn't I look at American authors?
There are still minor things to put in the right place in early medieval European history... Even Hungarian historians considered these topics with a shrug of the shoulder because of political reasons. No one knows who lived in the Carpathian basin before, no one knows, which route the Hungarians took to arrive there (today's archeological findings in Ukraine and Moldavia are quite promising) and no one knows whose language they speak. Clues there are that they speak the language they have already found there. Btw, the mentioned campaign was just a private enterprise of some military chiefs, Otto did not even think of attacking Hungary after that even for a minute. A decade later Hungarians besieged Byzantium so that could not be that devastating at all. Just the private enterprises for the sack have seemingly stopped.
There are literally 0 clues that the Magyar spoke the language of the people who were in the basin before them, and all the clues, that they spoke the langues their descendants speak today. The earliest Hungarian settlement name appeared in the basin where no 8-9th century archaeological remains were found, that is rich in 10th century Magyar remains, which is strong evidence that they spoke Hungarian. That, and the fact they came from the Ural mountains, where Hungarian language originates.
@@tamaszlav From the mountains... The clues regarding the language are the number of the populations. No one kmows for sure who was the lender and the borrower.
@@militaryorchid7937 Yes, they do. Magyars speak a Uralic language, their closest related language is the Mansi. The Magyars came from the Ural mountains, their closest neighbirs were the Mansi (and some Indo-Iranians from the South, and Turks from the East). Their closest genetic relations are with the Mansis. So according to you, a population, who comes from the Ural mountains close to Uralic people, are closely related to Uralic populations (whom are also their closest linguistical relatives), might not have spoken an Uralic language, they just found it here (somehow), and that language coincidentally is the closest to the language the Mansi, whom the Magyars are closest genetic relatives. Riiiiiiiiiiiight. You alter nationalists are so cute with yourbig ideas in small brains.
The "private venture" of military chiefs included the most important Hungarian leaders. An army of 10,000 horse archers was killed off. The Hungarians never again raided west after 90 years of doing it. Lechfeld very much was an absolute disaster for the Hungarians.
@@rayzas4885 No. They stopped with the undertakes towards the west but they still continued ransoming Byzantine till 970. "The most important Hungarian leaders" part is utterly false. The most important Hungarian leaders never left Hungary for a campaign. The reverse is also true: it was only in 1030 when a western army dared to attack Hungary, only to suffer a catastrophic defeat (again).
@@finnishboo4192 Is that not blaming God for the mistakes people make though? For people to have free will and not just be mindless automatons, they have to have the ability to choose. It wouldn’t mean much if I programmed my computer to tell me it loved me every day and it did so. But, if I had a child who decided to love me after I loved it, then that love has meaning. So too I think it is with people and God. He loves us, shows us that He does, and then teaches us what is good. Why then should we not love Him? Why should God be blamed when people choose to reject goodness? Unless of course you say there should not be freedom of will. In which case, you’re arguing that your own consciousness should not exist.
This is the fourth video i watched in line and the Magyars numbers growing every time from 35.000 to 50.000 while Ottos army decreased from 20.000 to 7.000... Whats next? 85.000 vs 2.000...?
When Arpad came back to the Carpatian Basin (chronicles said: "secundus ingressus" "home coming") So the chronicles did not said any "conquest", so this word used only from Habsurg era. So when Arpad came back with 1 million people (womans, childrens, animals etc) and they very fast settled here. In the cemeteries they found equal male/female corpses. So if many enemy nation would live here that time, the conquest would have not been so fast. Probably Arpad found a lot of Hungarian groups in the Carpatian Basin when he arrived. (From Huns/Avars) And also after this conquest the Hungarians was able to move every part of Europe. Also they talking about “raids”. Actually the other nations always hired the Hungarian army to help them for fight each other. The Hungarian warrior was the best at that time, was really developed: meat powder (so they could eat anytime so they could reach Iberian Peninsula as well), strong horses, saddle, reins, underpants, saber (protect the fingers), light good quality fish scales armor (possible to swimming with horse in armor), good tactics, super fast and high ranged composite bow!

Because they used the traditional way of Christianity not the western style. The Germans always wanted destroy them because they had afraid that Attila the Hun is back. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Pressburg In the battle of Pressburg (907) was a decisive Hungarian victory against the united western forces (after this the Hungarian border extended near to Salzburg near to today Germany) pages.uoregon.edu/klio/maps/med/a910eu.gif (after this the German army attacked again Hungary only at 1030 and got a same loss) The Hungarian made a wide border system around his territory (some kind of no man land) and used a preemptive war. And also when the Hungarian attacked monasteries around Europe because they want only get back the stolen Scythians/Avar treasures. Maybe the holy crown as well. The historian talk always 2 losing battles (Merseburg 933, Augsburg 955 (was betrayal)) however the Hungarian has this time more than 50+ winning battles. fdocuments.in/document/mystery-of-tatarlaka-klara-friedrich.html The Hungarian language is very old and very logic, I can find a connection with almost every language, because the language is very old. As you said Europe was always inhabited in the past and If you see the maps you can see the Carpatian basin was in the area of the Syctians.

This is so inaccurate in so many level that it is not funny. 50 000 Hungarian army, more like 5 000 strong raiding party. But to make the victory more significant than what it was the Germans had to exaggerate the size of the Hungarian army. The whole Hungarian army was no more the 50 000 strong. Out of that at any given time not more than 10% would go on a campaign. Usually this involve the tribes close to the western borders. Tribes form Transylvania would never go campaigning in Germany, their target were Byzantium and Russ. The rest of the troops were guarding the Hungarian borders. Make sense right? If a 50 000 strong Hungarian army would attack Germany that would not have been called a campaign that would be called an occupation force. Like when the German tried to attack Hungary at Pressburg in 907ad. were 3 German armies - some 60 000 strong - were annihilated in a single day by some 20 0000 Hungarian horseman. Here is the link of the battle: th-cam.com/video/VHUSCs4Nacg/w-d-xo.html

Just missing some little facts that the German-united European, Frank forces wanted to destroy the Hungarians, and Hungarians defeated them in 907 near Pressburg...If Hungarians just wanted to steal, they wouldn't have reached Spain, they'd have attacked just some northern or closer territories.

"forcing" is a bit a strong word. the carpathian basin was where the capital of attila was located, and the hungarian nobility claimed descendance from attila himself. the latest genetic studies support this claim. chances are they wanted to conquer attila's lost empire are high. the pechenegs attacked the hungarian camps when their armies were on a campaign to the west, therefore the camps were left with insufficient guards to resist the full might of the pechenegs. so under the pressure they moved their camps west over the mountains to close the gap between the offensive armies and the rear guard, and events turned out in a way so they rather stood in the basin than to go all the way back to etelköz.
Hungarians have nothing to do with Huns. Not even the ethnonym of Hungary related to Huns. If you try to search real Asiatic mongoloid genetic admixture, search it among Eastern Slavs and Northern Germanic people. Stop your pseudo-historic turanist propaganda from the weird foreign looking neo-Cuman minority region of Kunság.
and look, some more even :D and many more will come, so feel free to write scientific papers disputing these results www.nature.com/articles/s41431-020-0683-z
It is jlaughable, neither of your papers speak about any relationship between modern Hungarian population and Huns. Huns were yellow people, mongoloid in all sources, and they had mongoloid haplogroup Q, which is the rarest haplogroup in modern Hungary.
2597/5000 Hungarians are not related to Finns. We love Finns, there is nothing wrong with that, but we are not blood relatives. Anthropology, culture, and language are also different. There are about 150 words in which similarity can be shown. The Finno-Ugric kinship was taught by the linguists of the Habsburg family to destroy the keeping of the Hungarian nationality. About 250 years ago. There are 1500 words in Turkish which are supposed to be the same. Although we don't understand Turkish either. The Hungarians are descendants of Skyta. The Skyta people are the oldest people in the world with a history of thousands of years. Although this is only lied to for 200-300 years .... Sumerian writings can also be deciphered with the help of the Hungarian language. There are studies that include Egyptian hiresogriphs as well. Why is that? Because Hungarian has preserved most of the native language spoken on earth. We also understand the Hungarian speech spoken up to 1000 years ago by our ancestors. This can be said in English, French, etc. languages? For centuries, the struggle for dominance over the Carpathian Basin was stifled by the struggle between the West and the indigenous Skyta peoples. The Hungarians invaded the Carpathian Basin in 895. In 907, the united army of the West attacked the areas inhabited by the Hungarians, with the aim of exterminating the Hungarians in full. Battle of Pőzsony (Pressburg). th-cam.com/video/xnBFV5MgSS4/w-d-xo.html Yet the Hungarian army won against a huge force. One of the goals of the subsequent Western campaigns was to secure the Hungarian territories against the Western invasion. Usually in alliance with one of the western rulers. As far as I know, the battle of the Lech field was lost because the quarrels with each other secretly reconciled and enslaved the Hungarian army. About 5,000 people laid down their guns. Leaders and soldiers were hanged after laying down their arms. (this was not a custom at the time, especially for leaders) Another Hungarian army was stationed nearby to take bloody revenge for the executions, but this is not very often mentioned by Western historians. Glory to Otto I! :-)) Of course, I do not guarantee this, because historians are lying back together. In any case, after the lost Lech field battle, Hungary was not attacked from the west or for 70 years. Unfortunately, Christianity did not bring any luck to the Hungarian nationality. Our culture has been almost destroyed, our traditions have been almost destroyed, our true history hidden. 1000 years of repression. Hungarians still live in Hungary as second-class citizens. Our real relatives are the Uyghurs, the Japanese, the Koreans, and the countless peoples living on the steppes in the east, who greatly appreciate the Hungarians.

@@vondobrogi8196 modern neo-Kunok nem magyarok a szorosabb etnikai értelemben, hanem csak politikailag magyarok. Tradicionális materiális kultúrájuk pedig a balkáni és kelet-európai népekére emlékeztet, és nemcsak hogy nem hasonló, hanem durván eltérő a tipikusan közép-európai magyar népesség materiális kultúrájától. Csak a magyar nyelv megtanulása velük az egyetlen kapocs kulturális értelemben, ami valljuk be még elég gyenge önmagában tekintve. Nagyon kevés kun élte túl a Nagy Török háborúk korát, szinte teljesen kiirtották őket 1686-1690 közötti korszakban. A neo-kunok többsége az oszmán hódítás korszakában bevándorolt román szerb bosnyák menekült, azaz balkáni migráns, később pedig szlovákok is érkeztek nagy arányban. Nyelvük elmagyarosodott idővel ami a magyar közvetítő nyelv fontosságára utal. A sokfelől érkezett jövevények, balkáni és szlovák migránsok utódai összefogtak, hogy visszaszerezzék a terület számára a hajdani un. "Kun" jogokat, mert a területet az uralkodó eladta a Német lovagrendnek. Tehát az új kamu-kun öntudat kialakulását szó szerint a privilégiumok megszerzése, azaz anyagi jogi és politikai érdekek határozták meg és motiválták. (PL ha a jövevények megszerzik a hajdani kunoknak adott jogokat, akkor nincsenek földesurak, szabad lesz a saját bíró és lelkészválasztás, nincsenek a földesuraknak fizetendő adók robot, se jobbágyság, se földesúri bíráskodás felettük, tehát afféle nemesekhez sokban hasonlatos jogokat szerezhettek) A jövevények célja, a privilégiumok megszerzése megvalósult Mária Terézia Jászkun Redemptio nevű aktusával. Későbbi generációk meg - ahogy az gyakran lenni szokott - már el is hitték hogy ők kunok utódai. Erről röviden itt olvashatsz: Kunok legyünk vagy magyarok?

Great video, too bad it is a blatant lie (depending on mostly false AUT-HUN XIX century sources) Hungarians came to help as mercenaries paid by W EU lords, not just in this occasion, but almost every one of them between 907 and 955. This was the case in 955 too. While en route, german lords, adversaries to one another, came to agreement and ambushed the unpaid mercenaries together (also it was only a minor proportion of Hungarian armies) Otto is also famous for the biggest lie in human history according to Herbert Illig, please read about that too, maths don't lie, papers do.

Though there is some question whether they just recognized them as Caesars to their own Augustus (ie saw them as the junior dynasty). Fun fact , the Ottomans did similarly recognize the Habsburg in the peace treaty ending the" long Turkish war" in the early 1600s ...
They went against mostly heavy cavalry as horse archers, took heavy casualties regardless but decided to retreat in time when realising that their weapons were ineffective against heavy armour. But due to stormy weather they couldn't escape the region and were eventually caught
@@zekun4741 The main reason of this defeat was probably a treason. One of the commanders of the hungarian army was Bulcsú. He was a great general, like Napoleon, but only in middle ages. I think, a strategical genius like he, can not be defeated so easily. Only then, if somebody betrays him. It could be a german allied person. About fighting against heavy cavarly: the heavy armor in Europe, in this period was mail in most cases. The hungarians had lamellar, and scale armor, they had also a form of heavy cavarly. The mail is ineffective against arrows, if those were shooted from a proper warbow. In this timeperiod, the bows and the arrows of the hungarians were feared in whole Europe: ,,Sagittis Hungarorum libera nos, Domine!". Their weapons were ineffective against heavy armor? I do not think so. We had spears, wich can break through the mail armor. We had also bows, and arrows, those were also effective, too. And we had a great weapon wich was used even in the first world war. That was the fokos. If that could not penetrate the heavy armor, I do not no wich weapon could. I say all of this, because I am a hungarian, too. I am magyar, or more preciously sekler. Once we were great warriors, who fought against Europe. But when the time has come, we defended Europe, with our on blood. Sadly, from some reason this is unknown for a big part of the world. (Mondom mindezt úgy, hogy magyar vagyok én is, konkrétan székely. Valaha harcosok voltunk jórészt, akik harcoltak az európai hatalmak ellen. De mikor eljött az idő, védtük Európát, a saját vérünkkel. Csak sajnos ezt valamilyen okból kifolyólag nagyon kevesen tudják.)

He sad, that in Gesta Hungarorum, are evidences for a treason against Bulcsú. I do not know exactly wich is true from tis, and wich is false. But one thing is clear. The hungarian horse army in this period was like none other in Europe. The western regions of Europe, could not fought against they effectivly for a long time. In the X.th century the hungarians fought in 46-47 campaings against Europe. From these, only two was ended with defeat for they. For this I simply can not believe that the european armies could all at once defeat the magyars, when they (hungarians), had much more succes agains the european armies.
They became white. The Turkic peoples are a mixture betwen old Scythians who migrated from Eastern European steppes to Central Asia. There, they mixtured with peoples who were yellow. Yellow race. But, a yellow majority and a white minority. The Turkic peoples are metise! Today, most of Magyars do not recognise that! They lies. Over 90% of Hungarians, today, are Europeans assimilated!

In latin sources the name Ungarii started only to be used slowly in the 10th century 4. german armies lost so much manpower that they still beat the Magyars for eternity with almost no trouble.
Lets apply some logyc to thsi inacurate story; If the Germans annihilated the 50 0000 strong Hungarian army then why they did not attacked Hungary to further weaken the Hungarians. This is a tactical maneuver 101. Germans did not know that? I do not think so. The answer is simple. They have won an insignificant battle and would not dear attack the intact army in Hungary itself. For years nobody knew why the Hungarians did not continue on with they campaign against the west, the most probable answer is that the new leadership in Hungary wanted peace and made the deal with the Germans. The deal was as follows: If Germany relinquishes the claim on Pannonia then Hungary will stop attacking German lands. Oh and one more thing, the German victory was sooo "great" that for the next 100 years no German army set foot on Hungarian soil. ...and when they did in 1051AD turned into a nightmare for the Germans at Vertes Hills.
The name for Germany comes from the name of its people, not the other way around. In german "Deutschland" means "land of the germans" or "german land" and the word "deutsch" was first used as "diudisko" by a gothic bishop named Wulfila, in 360 AD. Also the name for a german land/Germany "deutsches Land" was created around this time period. So you can call Otto I. legally german.

Slovenia, Croatia and Bosnia, later all ruled by Habsburgs who happened to be HREmperors.
More importantly, in medieval and early modern times, all history is connected to the HRE Emperors, one way or other.
Ever heard of the 3rd crusade? Led by Emperor Barbarossa - with King Richard "Lionheart" and the French King BOTH officially submitting under his command. Until he drowned in a stupid river, releasing them from their oaths (which in turn caused Richard some trouble returning, needing ransom money to get out of prison, leading to the whole Robin Hood story) ...
That crusade had a big impact on the balkans, given that the main German army marched down the Danube, and the brother of the Hungarian king joined in. As had Ottos later successors when fighting and stopping the Ottomans.
Teutonic knights (in general, not just the order as such) were a major force in the Iberian Reconcista and christianized / conquered most of the Baltics.
The Fugger became rich as the bankers of the Habsburg Emperors - and then also financed much of the Spanish and Portuguese ventures into the new world when Charles V was both Emperor of the HRE and King of Spain and Portugal. Like Magellans first trip aroung the world. And provided the copper the Portuguese trading empire in Africa and Asia was based on.
None of this would have happened without Otto I.

The Hungarians are Magyars in language only, their genetic makeup, though, is typically Central-Eastern European, Germano-Celtic and Slavic admixtures. The Magyars, as it has been many times in history, were just a minority, who magyarized (don't know how to spell it) the locals. Like the Turkic people who turkified the local Anatolians, but are just a minority among the Turks nowadays.
@@adamthetired9319 Recent genetic findings show that Modern Hungarian genetics are 40% - 60% Magyar or a variant of markers found in Central Asia Germano-Celtic and slavic Groupes are only 10% - 30% and that varies from different regions. The Magyar predominant genes were R1a and R1b from matched to the Tarim Basin and Mongolia and the Siberian genes were N1c, Q1a, C3, which only made up 20% to 30% in total and some groups of Magyars had J and other middle eastern markers as well. The Magyars were not Asians from the Urals who came and ruled over a dominant Slavic Germanic population, but had a major impact and made up about 1/3 of the total population of Pannonia. The other 2/3ds were multiple groups such as slavs, germans, Seklers (Szekely) but were Predominantly Avar.

Otto I had relation to charlemane from his fathers mother 🤔
Yeah, I recall that as well.
larrywave this is true but he was of a different house, Charlemagne being an old frank, Otto being a Saxon. His father Henry was the first king of Germany, he was given the east frankish kingdom by the king as he died, however it became Germany at that point because the saxons were now in control. This also separated forever the legacies of Germany and France/West Francia. So although they were technically related, Otto brought a much more German element to his empire. Remember the Saxons were among the last people converted to Christianity by Charlemagne’s Frankish-Roman Empire, now 150 years later a Saxon himself won a new German-Roman Empire. Quite a development. Otto’s state would continue in numerous configurations for a thousand years

Otto the First and Otto von Bismarck (the latter was born near the grave of the former in Magdeburg) were quite similar in the fact that they were imposing people of extraordinary ability, respected and feared but not really loved (except by a few; luckily, their over-the-top harshness was complemented by the presence of people who were either more pleasant, or more PR-savvy), although in private life, both seemed to be devoted towards their women (Both also had mother problems - one of Otto's first acts as emperor was banishing his mother Matilda of Ringelheim who favoured his younger brother Heinrich over him, and Bismarck hated his "cold and unloving" mother as a child. The women they met later - Eadgyth and Adelheid in the case of Otto, and Marie von Thadden and Johanna in the case of Bismarck - seemed to to give them the "anchor" that they needed).
Friedrich Barbarossa, for example, probably suffered more defeats/setbacks than Otto, but was a man both respected and loved, and thus is better remembered today (also because his Swabia, as well as Southern Germany in general, is a rich and strong region today, while the Saxon area does not fare as well - although this is improving)
Why is the former saxon region not doing well? Don't confuse saxony with the modern state saxony. The saxon heartland was what today is part of NRW and lower saxony and the northern coastlands. It is only that the saxon family name shifted eastwards to areas formerly slavic

@@misirosso7536 You are ridiculous less educated craftsman (PROLETARIAN)
It is a debunked misconception that the Pechenegs forced the Magyars to move. One that became a thing in the communist era. And the Magyar raiders did not sought slaves...taking people as slaves and selling them wasn't even a thing for them. You have to be careful with contemporary or wanna be contemporary western European sources because those contain a lot of untrue bullshit regarding the Magyars. And regarding the battle of Merseburg. It was fought between the forces of Henrik the first and a Hungarian division(!). The battle was lost but the Hungarian division did not lose many lives as they retreated from it in time. This was a small battle that was more of a psychological victory for the Germans as the Hungarian forces were back in 937 leading successful campaigns into Germany and France
According to the 10th-century Persian explorer and geographer Ibn Rustah, the Magyars did actually sell slaves to the Byzantine Empire in exchange for silk, ornaments and other goods.
You are from the less educated working class people (carftsman), known as proletarians, who did not have university degree, neither have a grammar school matriculation exam.

@@gabor-zsoltbenedek9420based
quite a few opinions and interpretations in here that have been stated as if they are hard facts.
Because the Magyars where a confederation of nomadic tribes they never had what we would call a homeland. Rather they had an area of control that had been moving south and west for centuries.
The Magyar campaigns in 954 and 955 where at the invitation of or encouragement from several German princes. It was not nation on nation warfare. Only 3 or 4 of the Magyar tribes took part and Otto did not have the German nation behind him.
Otto spent most of his reign fighting his own people. Perhaps the epithet "the suppressor" would be more accurate.
Calling the Elbe river the historic border between Slav and German people probably caused a few people to unsubscribe. Projecting the modern idea of borders back to a time like this is misleading.
This description of the battle is mostly fiction (BazBattles has a much better video). We don't know the numbers involved. We do know that the Magyars rarely fielded more than 10,000 men and, using the list of German princes, Otto had 7,000-9,000. The idea that the Magyars didn't have time to launch a 2nd volley of arrows is just stupid.
The key to Otto's victory was having well disciplined troops. The Magyars relied on being able to fight and retreat at will. In this battle they where forced to fight and couldn't retreat.
It might be easier to tell history as a series of events but it could never cover the beautiful, intricate complexity of what really happened.
History is more like continuous threads that both mix and diverge.
Thank you
@@gordonkerry9320 Correction. The Magyars were a monarchy, not a tribal confederation. Read Byzantine Emperor Leo VI Tactica. He states it openly.
There are some mistakes in your comment.
It is uncertain if the Magyars were invited or not. They had send some "diplomats" before to look at the situation in south germany. The war torn part of the country would have been an easy target for plundering, like the Magyars did prior in other regions of europe. So we don't know for sure, if they came as aid for the south german leaders or for raiding the easy peasy lemon squeezy part of germany.
Otto had to put down any opposers and threads to his throne from the inside and outside of his claim, like any king or duke of his time. The Holy Roman Empire didn't just include Germany, but also Burgundy, Bohemia and Italy. And in all of these regions, wars for power were a common thing. For example, he claimed the italian crown by marrying the italian queen. Which was seen as a thread by his son of a prior wife, because she could give birth to a new heir -> so war it is! Calling him a "suppressor" because he had fought his own people is just exaggerating.
And the numbers, we know for sure that Otto had 8 legions by a report of Widukind of Corvey,
who also wrote down, that one bohemian Legion equals 1,000 men. He also explained that the people of Augsburg prepared for another siege, when thousands of magyars were riding to the city, after the battle took place. When they saw that they just were riding by, they realised that they were fleeing from the battle. So, we know on one hand that the battle was a decisive victory for Otto and on the other, that the amount of magyars fleeing was still great enough to be feared. According to the people of Augsburg, it were like 20,000 fleeing riders. But I think this is way too much. So while this number can't be validated, I don't think that they had like 10,000 men. This amount of men wouldn't be enough, especially after a decisive loss and heavy casualties, that could still be seen as a threat, so it must be more.
@@Rabauke84 Thankyou for your comment. I don't usually read or reply to comments on youtube as most are just trolls but you are actually adding something that is worth thinking about
@@Rabauke84 You're right, I shouldn't have used the word invited, a more accurate word would be encouraged. Magyars took the disunity in German lands as an opportunity for raiding.
Epithets are always an exaggeration. Summing up a persons life in 1 word or a statement is never accurate. The epitaph "suppressor" is fitting because he spent most of his reign suppressing 1 rebellion after another. "peace maker" could be a positive epithet that says the same thing.
As for numbers; we know the numbers reported in 1st hand accounts where little more than propaganda. We also know that in the middle ages fielding an army of 10k was only possible in ideal conditions. Nomadic people could mobilise more than that in a migratory confederation. The raid that led to this battle only involved the western tribes of the Magyar confederation.
With the Magyars advantage in mobility they had no reason to engage an numerically superior enemy, so we know that they had more than Otto's 7 to 9k. Suggesting a Magyar force much more than 10k requires proof that this was an exception to what we know of medieval warfare and Magyars history. A Magyar force of 5k was enough to successfully campaign through northern Italy so the people of Augsburg could be justified in fearing much less than 10k
Thanks for filling in the historical timeline re the Magyars ...

Some curiosity: Annales Fuldenses named Mieszko as Marchio of Nordmark !
And to be precise: Mieszko paid tribute to Otton I not as a "german king" but as an Emperor, successor of Charlemagne.
A significant difference.
Well there is a dispute amongst historians over whether Charlemange the Frank was the founder of the HRE or Otto was the founder. Back in those times, the "Empire" was a patchwork of tribal dynasties that had not yet found any legit claim to the land they occupied. Much of Germany at the time of Otto was simply mud huts surrounding halls walled with earthworks.
@@christianfreedom-seeker2025 People build proper hall houses and farmsteats in German lands since thousands of years. They were not living in mud huts.

@@christianfreedom-seeker2025 LMAO. Neither was the Empire at the time a patchwork of tribal dynasties nor were the houses in Germany at the time mudhuts... smh. Already during ancient Germanic times they had built woodhouses in skeleton design and there had been roman-influenced and roman-controlled cities with roman architecture and stone structues all over the place. There also are Roman descriptions of Germanic fortresses on mountains/hills. In fact I can't even find any information about Germanic mudhuts whatsoever. By the 800s Germany already had huge churches, cathedrals and palaces for kings and coronation purposes and this already since centuries. The huge cathedral of Trier for example was finished in 340.

I am sorry to say this is *the* worst video I have seen on the Magyars in the 10th C. I am Hungarian and have been studying this period for some 40 years. Let's look at the most egregious errors: 00:12 'Spent centuries moving West.' Wrong. Archaeological research shows they spent one generation moving to Etelköz, then on to the Carpathian Basin. 00:35. "Pecheneg attack" made them move. This whole source (Byzantine Emperor Constantive Porphyrogenitus) is very questionable. There seems to have been some raid, but nothing serious. 00:42 The Magyars "launched devastating raids". What? Just like that? They occupied Hungary in alliance with the Holy Roman Emperor Arnulf of Carinthia. They defeated Berengar of Ivrea in 899, using, note, in alliance with Arnulf! They had 5000 men against Berengar's 15,000. When Arnulf died in 899 and the Hungarian envoys sent to continue the peace were arrested, THAT caused the war. There were border fights with the Bavarians (Austria hadn't been invented yet) and so in 907, the Germans decided to re-occupy Pannonia, Western Hungary. At Pressburg in 907, all the leaders of Bavaria were killed in an open battle which lasted three days. I note you carefully avoid mentioning that. Why? This was followed by punitive military campaigns (not raids!) In 908, the Magyars brought the Thüringians to battle at Eisanach, on August 3, 908, in which the Duke of Thüringia was killed. In 909, they destroyed Fresing but suffered a minor reverse at the hands of Arnulf the Bad, who had re-built part of the Bavarian army. He later allied himself with the Magyars. In 910, Louis the Child raised the entire East Frankish feudal levy in order to invade Hungary. The Magyars destroyed his army at the Lechfeld (same place) on June 12. All the Magyar attacks were done with careful planning and diplomatic preparation. They always attacked whoever was weaker, so they could not repeat Charlemagne's genocidal campaign against the Avars in the early 9th C. Another error: 2:14, the Battle of Merseburg in 933. This was no "decisive defeat" as the above mentioned Magyar victories were. One part of the Magyar army suffered a reverse, and withdrew in good order. The rest of the army was fine. Why did you not mention all of the above to give your viewers a more balanced view? Lechfeld 955 was indeed a big defeat of the Magyars, but it did not prevent further wars or attacks from Hungary, as you claim. In 961, the Pope asked for Magyar protection. As to the "huge Magyar army", the only datum we have on their numbers are mentioned above about the Italian Campaign from Regino, the Abott of Prüm. But I have a question for you and your followers: If Otto's victory was so complete, and you showed yourself he was an ambitious king, why did he not invade Hungary, conquer it and have the glory of converting the Magyars (many of whom had converted to Christianity long before, but not all)? Well, I'm interested in your answer.
1. From the ~5th Century they moved from the Urals to modern day Ukraine in the 9th Century. That's centuries, not a generation. Are you misunderstanding what I stated?
2. Numerous sources mention the Pechenegs forcing the Magyars further west.
3. You are denying the Magyars launched "devastating raids" on Western Europe? That is pretty common knowledge and historical fact.
1. I am relying on the most recent historical and archaeological sources published by the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. They state that new information proves the move was no more than 40-60 years. We do not have any material showing where the Magyars were in the 5th C. I would suggest you keep up with existing research. 2. "Numerous sources" are Constantine, who I mentioned, and one source in the West. That's far from 'numerous.' This has been very problematic and the majority of Hungarian scholars has dropped this as a reason. Constantine claimed that the Pechenegs had killed all the Hungarian women, but the graveyards show a full population, not lacking women at all. So that, among other things, has brought his works into question. Again, you are about 100 years behind the research. 3. I am saying these were not -- emphatically NOT 'raids'. They were military campaigns. Clearly, when the HRE invaded Moravia, or Hungary or anywhere else, that was 'devastating'. But the Magyar Campaigns were not more devastating than the murderous campaigns of say, Charlemagne. I would suggest get yourself updated information and re-do the video, correctly this time. It isn't fair to your viewers to 'teach' them material that has long been rejected by scholars.
I get my information straight out of published books on Medieval and Military history. You seem to only mention Hungarian sources for you information. If you want to talk about biases I think you might fall under the same category.
@@HistoryUncovered When was the Byzantine Emperor a 'Hungarian source'? I read the German literature, the Hungarian material as well as English-language literature.I also follow the Russian/Ukrainian material in translation. There have been a lot of discoveries there. Also, recent genetic discoveries are very interesting (available in English). With a few exceptions, the English-language material is generally very far behind. I am sure you do get your material from published books, that's the trouble. Rather go for scholarly articles. As for looking at Hungarian material, you must realise that the Hungarian academics are afraid of being seen as 'nationalists', so if anything, they minimise the achievements of the Magyars. If they have a bias, it's more against themselves. That IS weird, but that's how it is. But then again, if I was to study the American Civil War, wouldn't I look at American authors?
Only hungarian sources are reliable about hungarian history and origin. Not your fake theories.
There are still minor things to put in the right place in early medieval European history... Even Hungarian historians considered these topics with a shrug of the shoulder because of political reasons. No one knows who lived in the Carpathian basin before, no one knows, which route the Hungarians took to arrive there (today's archeological findings in Ukraine and Moldavia are quite promising) and no one knows whose language they speak. Clues there are that they speak the language they have already found there. Btw, the mentioned campaign was just a private enterprise of some military chiefs, Otto did not even think of attacking Hungary after that even for a minute. A decade later Hungarians besieged Byzantium so that could not be that devastating at all. Just the private enterprises for the sack have seemingly stopped.
There are literally 0 clues that the Magyar spoke the language of the people who were in the basin before them, and all the clues, that they spoke the langues their descendants speak today. The earliest Hungarian settlement name appeared in the basin where no 8-9th century archaeological remains were found, that is rich in 10th century Magyar remains, which is strong evidence that they spoke Hungarian. That, and the fact they came from the Ural mountains, where Hungarian language originates.
@@tamaszlav From the mountains... The clues regarding the language are the number of the populations. No one kmows for sure who was the lender and the borrower.
@@militaryorchid7937 Yes, they do. Magyars speak a Uralic language, their closest related language is the Mansi. The Magyars came from the Ural mountains, their closest neighbirs were the Mansi (and some Indo-Iranians from the South, and Turks from the East). Their closest genetic relations are with the Mansis. So according to you, a population, who comes from the Ural mountains close to Uralic people, are closely related to Uralic populations (whom are also their closest linguistical relatives), might not have spoken an Uralic language, they just found it here (somehow), and that language coincidentally is the closest to the language the Mansi, whom the Magyars are closest genetic relatives. Riiiiiiiiiiiight. You alter nationalists are so cute with yourbig ideas in small brains.
The "private venture" of military chiefs included the most important Hungarian leaders. An army of 10,000 horse archers was killed off. The Hungarians never again raided west after 90 years of doing it. Lechfeld very much was an absolute disaster for the Hungarians.
@@rayzas4885 No. They stopped with the undertakes towards the west but they still continued ransoming Byzantine till 970. "The most important Hungarian leaders" part is utterly false. The most important Hungarian leaders never left Hungary for a campaign. The reverse is also true: it was only in 1030 when a western army dared to attack Hungary, only to suffer a catastrophic defeat (again).

When Arpad came back to the Carpatian Basin (chronicles said: "secundus ingressus" "home coming") So the chronicles did not said any "conquest", so this word used only from Habsurg era. So when Arpad came back with 1 million people (womans, childrens, animals etc) and they very fast settled here. In the cemeteries they found equal male/female corpses. So if many enemy nation would live here that time, the conquest would have not been so fast. Probably Arpad found a lot of Hungarian groups in the Carpatian Basin when he arrived. (From Huns/Avars) And also after this conquest the Hungarians was able to move every part of Europe.
Also they talking about “raids”. Actually the other nations always hired the Hungarian army to help them for fight each other. The Hungarian warrior was the best at that time, was really developed: meat powder (so they could eat anytime so they could reach Iberian Peninsula as well), strong horses, saddle, reins, underpants, saber (protect the fingers), light good quality fish scales armor (possible to swimming with horse in armor), good tactics, super fast and high ranged composite bow!

The Hungarian made a wide border system around his territory (some kind of no man land) and used a preemptive war. And also when the Hungarian attacked monasteries around Europe because they want only get back the stolen Scythians/Avar treasures. Maybe the holy crown as well. The historian talk always 2 losing battles (Merseburg 933, Augsburg 955 (was betrayal)) however the Hungarian has this time more than 50+ winning battles.

50 000 Hungarian army, more like 5 000 strong raiding party.
But to make the victory more significant than what it was the Germans had to exaggerate the size of the Hungarian army.
The whole Hungarian army was no more the 50 000 strong. Out of that at any given time not more than 10% would go on a campaign.
Usually this involve the tribes close to the western borders. Tribes form Transylvania would never go campaigning in Germany, their target were Byzantium and Russ.
The rest of the troops were guarding the Hungarian borders. Make sense right?
If a 50 000 strong Hungarian army would attack Germany that would not have been called a campaign that would be called an occupation force.
Like when the German tried to attack Hungary at Pressburg in 907ad. were 3 German armies - some 60 000 strong - were annihilated in a single day by some 20 0000 Hungarian horseman.

Bullshit. You are a brainless hungarian peasant.
"forcing" is a bit a strong word. the carpathian basin was where the capital of attila was located, and the hungarian nobility claimed descendance from attila himself. the latest genetic studies support this claim. chances are they wanted to conquer attila's lost empire are high. the pechenegs attacked the hungarian camps when their armies were on a campaign to the west, therefore the camps were left with insufficient guards to resist the full might of the pechenegs. so under the pressure they moved their camps west over the mountains to close the gap between the offensive armies and the rear guard, and events turned out in a way so they rather stood in the basin than to go all the way back to etelköz.
Hungarians have nothing to do with Huns. Not even the ethnonym of Hungary related to Huns.

Hungarians are not related to Finns. We love Finns, there is nothing wrong with that, but we are not blood relatives.
Anthropology, culture, and language are also different.
There are about 150 words in which similarity can be shown.
The Finno-Ugric kinship was taught by the linguists of the Habsburg family to destroy the keeping of the Hungarian nationality.
About 250 years ago.
There are 1500 words in Turkish which are supposed to be the same.
Although we don't understand Turkish either.
The Hungarians are descendants of Skyta. The Skyta people are the oldest people in the world with a history of thousands of years. Although this is only lied to for 200-300 years ....
Sumerian writings can also be deciphered with the help of the Hungarian language.
There are studies that include Egyptian hiresogriphs as well.
Why is that?
Because Hungarian has preserved most of the native language spoken on earth. We also understand the Hungarian speech spoken up to 1000 years ago by our ancestors.
This can be said in English, French, etc. languages?
For centuries, the struggle for dominance over the Carpathian Basin was stifled by the struggle between the West and the indigenous Skyta peoples.
The Hungarians invaded the Carpathian Basin in 895. In 907, the united army of the West attacked the areas inhabited by the Hungarians, with the aim of exterminating the Hungarians in full. Battle of Pőzsony (Pressburg).

Yet the Hungarian army won against a huge force.
One of the goals of the subsequent Western campaigns was to secure the Hungarian territories against the Western invasion. Usually in alliance with one of the western rulers.
As far as I know, the battle of the Lech field was lost because the quarrels with each other secretly reconciled and enslaved the Hungarian army.
About 5,000 people laid down their guns. Leaders and soldiers were hanged after laying down their arms. (this was not a custom at the time, especially for leaders)
Another Hungarian army was stationed nearby to take bloody revenge for the executions, but this is not very often mentioned by Western historians. Glory to Otto I! :-))
Of course, I do not guarantee this, because historians are lying back together. In any case, after the lost Lech field battle, Hungary was not attacked from the west or for 70 years.
Unfortunately, Christianity did not bring any luck to the Hungarian nationality. Our culture has been almost destroyed, our traditions have been almost destroyed, our true history hidden.
1000 years of repression.
Hungarians still live in Hungary as second-class citizens.
Our real relatives are the Uyghurs, the Japanese, the Koreans, and the countless peoples living on the steppes in the east, who greatly appreciate the Hungarians.

@@vondobrogi8196 modern neo-Kunok nem magyarok a szorosabb etnikai értelemben, hanem csak politikailag magyarok. Tradicionális materiális kultúrájuk pedig a balkáni és kelet-európai népekére emlékeztet, és nemcsak hogy nem hasonló, hanem durván eltérő a tipikusan közép-európai magyar népesség materiális kultúrájától. Csak a magyar nyelv megtanulása velük az egyetlen kapocs kulturális értelemben, ami valljuk be még elég gyenge önmagában tekintve. Nagyon kevés kun élte túl a Nagy Török háborúk korát, szinte teljesen kiirtották őket 1686-1690 közötti korszakban. A neo-kunok többsége az oszmán hódítás korszakában bevándorolt román szerb bosnyák menekült, azaz balkáni migráns, később pedig szlovákok is érkeztek nagy arányban. Nyelvük elmagyarosodott idővel ami a magyar közvetítő nyelv fontosságára utal.
A sokfelől érkezett jövevények, balkáni és szlovák migránsok utódai összefogtak, hogy visszaszerezzék a terület számára a hajdani un. "Kun" jogokat, mert a területet az uralkodó eladta a Német lovagrendnek. Tehát az új kamu-kun öntudat kialakulását szó szerint a privilégiumok megszerzése, azaz anyagi jogi és politikai érdekek határozták meg és motiválták. (PL ha a jövevények megszerzik a hajdani kunoknak adott jogokat, akkor nincsenek földesurak, szabad lesz a saját bíró és lelkészválasztás, nincsenek a földesuraknak fizetendő adók robot, se jobbágyság, se földesúri bíráskodás felettük, tehát afféle nemesekhez sokban hasonlatos jogokat szerezhettek) A jövevények célja, a privilégiumok megszerzése megvalósult Mária Terézia Jászkun Redemptio nevű aktusával. Későbbi generációk meg - ahogy az gyakran lenni szokott - már el is hitték hogy ők kunok utódai. Erről röviden itt olvashatsz: Kunok legyünk vagy magyarok?

Kevésbé ismert (nem reklámozott) tény, hogy 1918-ban a kunsági értelmiség széles körben összefogott hogy elszakadhasson Magyarországtól. Tervükhöz a Pest Megyei Budapesten őrzött fegyverraktárakban felhalmozott nagy mennyiségű fegyvert kívánták megszerezni, a szerbek elleni lehetséges "védekezés" hamis jelszavára hivatkozva. Ez sikertelen kísérlet maradt, mivel a kormány ügynökei révén már pontos értesülések tudtában megtiltotta fegyverek szállítását és kiadását kunsági területeken, ezért a kunsági elit komolyabb lépésekre már képtelen volt jutni. A magyarok vágóhídra hajtották fiainkat az ő nagy háborújukban, hangzott el a kunsági elit gyakori érvelése… Fegyverek hiányában pedig nem lehetett rábeszélni az ott élőket a felkelésre és a harcra. Érdemes elgondolkodni azon , mi lett volna ha Budapestről befutnak a Kunságba a fegyverrel megrakott szerelvények, és szétosztják a fegyvereket a felheccelt neo-kun tömegeknek....

Great video, too bad it is a blatant lie (depending on mostly false AUT-HUN XIX century sources)
Hungarians came to help as mercenaries paid by W EU lords, not just in this occasion, but almost every one of them between 907 and 955.
This was the case in 955 too. While en route, german lords, adversaries to one another, came to agreement and ambushed the unpaid mercenaries together (also it was only a minor proportion of Hungarian armies)
Otto is also famous for the biggest lie in human history according to Herbert Illig, please read about that too, maths don't lie, papers do.

But Otto I arranged that marriage of his son Otto II with the Bycantine court, who then formally accepted the Ottonians as Emperors of the West. Though there is some question whether they just recognized them as Caesars to their own Augustus (ie saw them as the junior dynasty).
Fun fact , the Ottomans did similarly recognize the Habsburg in the peace treaty ending the" long Turkish war" in the early 1600s ...

Ps. Why tf did my Magyars play the battle so bad?!
They went against mostly heavy cavalry as horse archers, took heavy casualties regardless but decided to retreat in time when realising that their weapons were ineffective against heavy armour. But due to stormy weather they couldn't escape the region and were eventually caught
@@zekun4741 The main reason of this defeat was probably a treason. One of the commanders of the hungarian army was Bulcsú. He was a great general, like Napoleon, but only in middle ages. I think, a strategical genius like he, can not be defeated so easily. Only then, if somebody betrays him. It could be a german allied person.
About fighting against heavy cavarly: the heavy armor in Europe, in this period was mail in most cases. The hungarians had lamellar, and scale armor, they had also a form of heavy cavarly. The mail is ineffective against arrows, if those were shooted from a proper warbow. In this timeperiod, the bows and the arrows of the hungarians were feared in whole Europe: ,,Sagittis Hungarorum libera nos, Domine!".
Their weapons were ineffective against heavy armor? I do not think so. We had spears, wich can break through the mail armor. We had also bows, and arrows, those were also effective, too. And we had a great weapon wich was used even in the first world war. That was the fokos. If that could not penetrate the heavy armor, I do not no wich weapon could.
I say all of this, because I am a hungarian, too. I am magyar, or more preciously sekler. Once we were great warriors, who fought against Europe. But when the time has come, we defended Europe, with our on blood. Sadly, from some reason this is unknown for a big part of the world. (Mondom mindezt úgy, hogy magyar vagyok én is, konkrétan székely. Valaha harcosok voltunk jórészt, akik harcoltak az európai hatalmak ellen. De mikor eljött az idő, védtük Európát, a saját vérünkkel. Csak sajnos ezt valamilyen okból kifolyólag nagyon kevesen tudják.)

About the treason: I know this from works of Lajos Szántai. He sad, that in Gesta Hungarorum, are evidences for a treason against Bulcsú.
I do not know exactly wich is true from tis, and wich is false. But one thing is clear. The hungarian horse army in this period was like none other in Europe. The western regions of Europe, could not fought against they effectivly for a long time.
In the X.th century the hungarians fought in 46-47 campaings against Europe. From these, only two was ended with defeat for they.
For this I simply can not believe that the european armies could all at once defeat the magyars, when they (hungarians), had much more succes agains the european armies.
@@zekun4741 There were not real armours against arrows until the plate armor of the 14-15th century.

Lol apparently you know nothing about toppic you wish to press. You try hard yet you are very ignorant ;-). We had gathering of nobles since mid 13th century you fool ;-). Nobility has made it on Přemysl Otakar II. who led 2 crusades on his own, aspired on imperial crown and for quite time ruled over Austria and part of Hungary. Besides the gathering of nobles was present as election of each duke and later king sinc early dark ages, where laws were passed. Golden Bulla of Sicily 1212 confirmed by HRE states our independence, just as Friedrich I. Barbarossa acknowledged it much earlier despire his later efforts. Same happened in 1348 with Golden Bulla of Emperor Charles IV. who in his Vita Caroli, identified him self as Czech by blood from his Přemyslid mother and primarily Czech king ;-). Germies hated him for that. And we made sure that "Compactata" we forced upon pope and Catholic church assured our religious and traditional rights. Habsburks accepted it and later didnt hold on to it. We rebelled then. We were free and always will be. You can Ask Lothar III. who got his Ass kicked in North Bohemia by Sobieslav I ;-P. Your resources are poor at best as the Czech king was first amnog Kurfirzsten and independent sovereign.

4. german armies lost so much manpower that they still beat the Magyars for eternity with almost no trouble.
Damn I’m Hungarian lol I took L
Lets apply some logyc to thsi inacurate story;
If the Germans annihilated the 50 0000 strong Hungarian army then why they did not attacked Hungary to further weaken the Hungarians. This is a tactical maneuver 101.
Germans did not know that? I do not think so.
The answer is simple. They have won an insignificant battle and would not dear attack the intact army in Hungary itself.
For years nobody knew why the Hungarians did not continue on with they campaign against the west, the most probable answer is that the new leadership in Hungary wanted peace and made the deal with the Germans. The deal was as follows: If Germany relinquishes the claim on Pannonia then Hungary will stop attacking German lands.
Oh and one more thing, the German victory was sooo "great" that for the next 100 years no German army set foot on Hungarian soil.
...and when they did in 1051AD turned into a nightmare for the Germans at Vertes Hills.
Magyars were offended greek people
How can he be german while Germany didnt even exist ???
The name for Germany comes from the name of its people, not the other way around.
In german "Deutschland" means "land of the germans" or "german land" and the word "deutsch" was first used as "diudisko" by a gothic bishop named Wulfila, in 360 AD. Also the name for a german land/Germany "deutsches Land" was created around this time period.
So you can call Otto I. legally german.
