Such as the troubles and why it happened.. Along with the leaders of the rising.. The reason for them.. and how they ended, and what there affects were.. As this is a video on the history of our nation ya no

Dude dude dude... The celts were not the first to settle in Ireland... They were hunter gatherers in the mesolithic and netholithic time periods
celts west to east not east to west ,no? www.arch.ox.ac.uk/BC1.html
Hey uh there was people here before the celts, how do ya think New Grange got there?
There were people in Ireland before the Celts arrived. They were the neolithic people who built all the tombs.
"Celts" aren't really a thing. Its just a term for all pre-Saxon people's of the British Isles.
Scuba Steve actually it's a term for a linguistic group that made up the majority of Western Europe before Rome did it's expansion thing probably originating in Northern Spain.
+Allie Doak. You realize a linguistic group is a language group right? Today Celtic Nations are defined by whether or not they speak a Gaelic or Brythonic tongue. Even though the Gaels and Britons aren't related.
Scuba Steve yes that is what I was saying... although all Europeans are relatively closely related genetically with the Irish being the most genetically distinct group. The fact these groups shared a common family of languages is what distinguishes them from other Europeans.
Allie Doak Actually...The Welsh and Basque are!!!
Irish History can be summed up in one sentence:

It’s the British and irish isles we’re not part of the uk
+TH-cam what? That’s not what British Isles means
TH-cam, no one said that The Irish state was a part of the UK. The term British Isles is a geographic term, not a political one.
@PATRIOT HAM mAy gOd SaVe tHe QuEeN
British isles?? The important thing is we have the irish sea and england has...well a channel. So where are these so called isles? maybe apart from isle of man but that's about it.
Ireland was settled before the arrival of the people called ‘Celtic’ today. There are monuments still standing that predate the Celts by approximately 4500 years.

Siocháin leat, mo chara :)
I lived in southern Ireland for 3 months, does that count?
Matt kid I'm American, but I'm descended from Irish.
I never noticed how similar Irish and Korean history is, both for a majority of their history being in the sphere or direct influence of foreign nations, but continuously fighting back and retaining its independent heritage and culture until full sovereignty.
Being raised in an Irish heavy community now I get why I was so drawn to their pubs lol
I am Korean adopted by an Irish father. I know how you feel.
That's very interesting
I am black. I have nothing to contribute to this comment. I’m just glad to be here.
Independent heritage… hm by adopting a religion created in Rome… 😂 good one
as an indian i agree with this sentiment as indians in colonial india fought tooth and nail to be independent
I love Ireland, proudest bunch of people ever MAD RESPECT
I will be amazed if you are not American
And you like that? Lol

I LOVE THE SONG IN THE MOVIE!!

I'm not Polish but according to these comments you should do Poland next.
It's strange that so many Polish people want this video, they must have a history test coming. I'm not Polish either, that's why I'd like to learn what it's like. I don't want a Bulgaria video, I went to school already.
George Mirchev Poland has been in the intro since the start of this channel. that's why we want it so much ;)
Ooooh, I see. Would be funny if he put "Poland video maybe coming soon, probably" in the intro.

Poland would be interesting. Everybody in Europe has some knowledge of history of France, Germany, Italy, UK and Spain. Less known countries are more interesting for me
I am an Irishman and a man who is constant student of Irish history and Irish lore... I suggest you do a study of the Banshee... According to what I have read and researched, there was a tribe of blond haired tall blue eyed people on the Island of Ireland before the Celts visited ( they are attributed as the people ' the sidhe', who build the Newgrange passage tomb in county Meath which is estimated to have been built in approximately 3200 bC; believed to be a sun worshiping civilization; it is believed that the Celts came to Ireland between 500 bC and 1000 bC ).. The Celts called them the Feara (sp)describing a people with light coloured hair... The word Feara (sp) went down in myth when the Celts slaughtered the indigenous people and in some cases copulated with their women.. According to my research, the Celts buried the blond haired people in mass graves.. Feara became pronounced as Fairy, and there is a belief that the so called fairy forts in Ireland are mass graves.. to this day there is a superstition that it is unlucky to enter a fairy fort or remove anything from the fort.. Farmers in Ireland who have these forts on their land will plough all the land around the fort but will not dig beneath the earth in the ring... The Feara became known as the Sidhe in Celtic mythology and the saying went that when a man of Celtic origin who was related to the people who slaughtered the Sidhe, that the woman from the fairy fort would be heard screaming in an unworldly fashion celebrating the oncoming death of the man who heard her screams... Her cry is meant to be heard by Irish people who have the prefix 'O' 'Mac' and 'Ni' before their surnames... Bean (Ban) is the irish word for woman, and Shee is the word used to describe people who were of the Sidhe people... thus the myth of the Banshee...
The sidhe is who george rr martin (author of game of thrones) based the white walkers on fyi 👍
Could you give any insight on Irish weaponry? I’m looking to make an axe or short sword modeled after a traditional Irish design. I haven’t found any accurate designs, most that I find are gallowglass weapons as opposed to traditional Irish. From what I gather the gallowglass were mercenaries from elsewhere and not indigenous
John O'Connor please can I ask you a question???
Wow. I researched banshees just recently and did not find that information! That's incredibly interesting. My family is an "O'" family, so it was especially intriguing to me. Thank you for the info!
John O'Connor The question is where did the sidhe come from?
I love every irish person ive interacted with. They are humble and compassionate. Biiiig respect to all my Irish brothers and sisters. You make the world a better place X
The Irish actually didnt gain Independence in the 1916 rising, that revolt just fueled the revolt of Micheal Collins guerilla warfare for Independence from 1919-1921. Where the British and Irish signed a peace Treaty leading to Sinn Féin splitting intopro treaty and anti treaty causing the civil war. We have the most misunderstood history.
Yeah irish history is misleading
Please make a video to address the Irish history. I don't have the access like you might.
The first inhabitants were before the Celts. Newgrange was built before the Pyramids!
you re fight there
I think you and I can agree 12,000 B.C.E at the very least is how long the island has been settled. Google bears in Ireland. The found a bears skull that shows evidence of being carved.
*right*
a little more factual research is needed before making videos like this.
yeah he forgot the fir bolg etc
The Celts were not the first people to settle in Ireland. Stone Age people had been living there since around 10,500-7,000 B.C.
Sean Mc Gloin. Nice name dude
And still living there eh

Ireland currency wasn't the pound, it was the punt
So that sack of Spuds I was given is not really currency ?
@@ruskiryan2398 The spuds still count as legal tender.
Punt means pound

Sad that Ireland are still divided to this day. Who knows, perhaps they will unite one day.
Scotland love our Irish and Welsh neighbours 👍🏻.
Unite..............why...................so we can be fucked over by the Irish Government with higher tax rates.............no
Peter Fitzgerald Just saying it's sad, I'd hate for Scotland to be divided like that. It's a tricky situation.
We like you back!!! :)

alba recoil most of us are descent's of the Scottish during the plantation that's why were British
Ireland didn't get the Euro in 1999. It was 2002 when the change happened
I think he meant that in 1999 they ALLOWED the Euro to become the currency in 2002. After all, you can't just replace a currency overnight.
Krombopulos Michael According to law we had the euro but had tandem use of pounds until the euros were minted. We actually did change to euro in 1999, as everything showed the exchange rate of euro, but we still operated in pounds. The actual circulation of euro was in 2002. I remember the ads well. "A euro is .787564 pounds"
Krombopulos Michael do u play rocket league?
1st January 1999
@@Toonrick12 No. Euro was Ireland’s currency from 1999. Transition period from then had all euro zone currency exchange rates fixed and pegged to the Euro from 1999 and cash was introduced in 2002 and old currencies phased out. They didn’t “ALLOW” it as you say.
A very brief history of Ireland
Not a bad summary, glossed over the war of independence though 😂
Ya wtf was that about?
Not shocked
damn thats some great quality videos you make, man
I love this channel. Me being a history geek and loving youtube this is the perfect channel for me. Please make more animated history's, I love them

You may of known this but the snakes weren’t actually snakes the “Snakes” are the pagens

@Frank Begbie shut up
Hey guess what I slept where a giant 150 foot one lived and slept epic well that Irish history
uses the term British Isles within the first 20 seconds TRIGGERED*
It's the geographic name given by the British even though it's root is based on the ancient brythonic celts which only inhabited moderen day england and wales and not ireland which was inhabited by goidelic speaking celts.
TH-camDebateChampion2017 it's overly polictital though and disputed by the Republic
It's like the "English Channel" and "La Marche" with the British and French using different names
Personally I like the term Irish and proud of it isles. What do you think?
Exactly, the term the British Isles isn't exactly a geographical name it was more of a political one. The British decided to use the name hundreds of years ago in an effort to claim some sort of ownership over Ireland and it's islands.

@@dathuil5567 why would God give it to a nation who worship false Catholic idol's???? Makes no sense! Clearly better off in unionist protestant hands.
Been spending the past two hours binge-watching your videos, and wow man! You have taught me so much today about these countries' history, great format and great style! Bravo, well done! Looking forward to more of your videos, and hope to be a patron of yours very soon!
If looking into Irish folklore, the banshee and Irish mythology is fascinating but also I recommend looking into Loftus Hall, a very interesting and haunting legend in Wexford.

The sacrifice of commander John O'Rilley and his brave soldiers will never be forgotten Erin go Bragh! viva el Batallón de San Patricio!
lol sure we fought against you to but we had battalions on every side in every war before we were independant
The weather is bad but you should look at all the historic landmarks
Nokard The Irish dont give 2 fucks for crappy Mexico
Christen Himself we do they gave us tequila
Soreofhing Actually the reason they deserted is because a lot of Irish immigrants were treated worse than blacks when they arrived. Virtually all of the US was protestant and so Catholics were denied some rights.
Irish people heard about Mexico, they thought it would be a better place as it was also Catholic and was more welcoming of immigrants.
Interesting history! And it's only 10mins long! I'm gonna study further the wars that you mentioned in this video because I love learning about war. Thanks!
Very VERY brief summary of our History, but did cover the major points fairly well. Impressed!

Ireland will always remain strong and free. The north is still Ireland and we're all one. If they want to believe a country across the water have a care for them then let them live in fantasy and call themselves what they want. At the end of the day they're living in Ireland and are Irish.
@@rraacchhellll more are actually related to the Scottish and also many in the South are related to English and dont even know- especially around Dublin
@A D Oh the irony.
Anonymous Northern Ireland is on the island of Ireland you dumbass
The Game Zone lad it’s simple geography that there is a place called Northern Ireland on the map
Whether the North cares to admit it or not, they are still our brothers and we will always care for them, even when we fight them
Fantastic as always
There's a thing about Northern Ireland that unites both Great Britain and the Irish Republic, they both forget what people want in the North
First thing they want is a functional government. Which they're not getting and haven't had for too feckin' long.
The recipe for peat soup comes in second place.
@Libya just like you and intelligence
Also, who agrees that we have the most amazing country and nationals in the world? I couldn't think of any other nationality I would rather be, or even one that comes in close second. Love our country ♥️♥️♥️
Born and living in the north. I never really gave a damn about the divisions and the north and south. But the older I grow and the more I understand. I feel a growing hostility towards England. Many of Irelands major disasters and and losses of life can be tracked back to them. And I feel myself becoming much more republican. And yes. Reunification is inevitable
Shovelfighter22 as much as I’d love to see IRELAND, the north is too divided. There’d be another troubles if we reunify due to the unionist Protestants.
@@ciarangrimes7912 Yes well unionists said they'd kick up a fuss if home rule were introduced. It was a bluff. Give them status in a federal United Ireland and they'd be fine
Dead right shovelfighter
Tyler Quandt Now they are very weak and would lose a civil war if they rebelled like 1798 was crushed quick and easy.
I think it's kinda silly about the resentment towards the British, especially considering the modern British are not the same people as the English during the Irish Famine.

Nobody talks about Welsh history or Celtic history in general but this was refreshing to see. Although I'm welsh I am proud to be of Celtic decent.

no yea I meant Italy, more interesting
I mean you guys have been asking for Poland since his first video and he hasn't made it so that shows something
I mean hopefully he'll eventually do every country I'd just like to see Italy
Italy and Italians don't really exist. Italy is a 19th century invention, comprised of many different ethnicities who are less related to one another than other European nations are to each other...all with different histories, cuisines and languages going back thousands of years before Rome: evolutionistx.files.wordpress.com/2016/01/genetic_map_of_europe.png "S. Italian" in Green = Southern Italy where 90% of "Italian-Americans" originate. Tuscan in Yellow = Central Italy, Northern Italian in Purple and Sardinia in dark Purple.

Your video is so good it's been recommended by my history teacher in university in France
Very well researched and simply presented. For a bit of extra education, the residents of Northern Ireland who are descended mainly from protestant-British settlers have begun to refer to themselves in recent years as “Northern Irish”. The non-British NI residents like myself who remain loyal to the prospect of a United Ireland free of British occupation or rule still refer to ourselves as Irish so it isn’t the Irish fight ourselves so much as Irish vs Descendants of British occupants. That’s not to say that all Protestants living here feel loyal to the Union, especially younger generations.
I have lived in Northern Ireland my whole life, my mother is English and my father is from Waterford in the south. I honestly don't mind either way what happens to the border as long as it's not shut & i can understand both points of view, but it seems to me it would cause as much grief as it would stop to re-unify, maybe i'm just being pessimistic but believe me when i say you have to live here to appreciate what i'm saying, love to all though!

What Clan do you hail from? I'm a Duffy, descended from Dubthach the High King.
And would you prove that you're a descendant?
My girlfriend's adoptive father is an O'Malley direct descendant of Grace O'Malley noble woman, pirate queen and rebel of the 16th century.
Joshua Fogg the ui Imair.
@@leoreodcinn9153 Dubthach was from the time that is considered quasi-mythical, as in he was indeed a historical figure, but has mythical attributes tied to him. He had three children, two sons and a daughter. If I am remembering correctly, the surnames of O'Duffy and its variations came from the eldest son, Duffy and its variations from the second, and all other variations from the daughter - all from the root of O'Dubhthaigh, where the name "Dubthach" comes from. It means "dark, black or swarthy", which most likely described Dubthach's hair, though some references point to his eyes, metaphorically meaning that he was shrewd and cunning.
Anyway, Connacht was the family seat since the time of the High Kings, and at least for my branch of the family, we ended up in Donegal, where Saint Dubhthach/Duffy is the patron saint. We became renowned for our connection to the parish. Interestingly enough, there's also a historical pub in Glasgow named Duffy's that was started by one of us.
And in the early 1900s, the side of the family from my mother's Grandfather moved to America, with maybe a couple other members coming earlier - that's a bit harder to pinpoint. And here I am.
So, in short, I am directly descended from the Donegal sept of the Duffys, who are in turn through a long history directly descended from the second son of High King Dubthach.
Mac Aonghusa we were part of the Dál nAraidi dynasty.
