ivan55599 in southern and eastern Norway (Agder and Akershus) we have the same problem, but with a few differences. Agder slowly gets colder, but we still have rain, while looking enviously north towards the mountains with a metre of snow already in November. Then we finally get snow, suddenly everything is covered in a knee-deep layer of icy cocaine powder. Few days later, spring comes and the snow melts away slowly until May. While in Akershus, we get to zero degrees Celsius in October, but because this region of Norway is a desert, we only get ten centimetres of snow in late January. A few days later, the uppermost snow has melted and re-freezed into a layer of hard ice that you can even walk on without making footprints. in March it's all gone again.
I believe Novgorod Republic was never a part of the Golden Horde. Mongols never sieged or even entered that city. Novgorod and a lot of other Northern Russian territories escaped just by agreeing to pay a tribute to the Golden Horde.
Because Kozelsk town defenders in Kaluga state were fucking all Mongol troops 7 weeks , this town was 1 year older than Moscow town , it was defender town for Vladimir town too like Moscow and had Kremlin wall too, Kozelsk had fired, all population with small childrens were been killed by mongols
This is not entirely true. The Novgorod Republic did not run away. At the same time, there were 2 circumstances. The horde's cavalry could not go to Novgorod because of deep swamps and dense forests, and Novgorod voluntarily paid tribute. And as history shows, it was the right move.
@@siratshi455 Is paying tribute to this puppet action? Novgorod had the choice or help of the crusaders or tribute with a golden horde. He chose the horde. The Horde did not touch the Orthodox Church. The crusaders wanted everyone to convert Novgorod to Catholicism. And this was absolutely unacceptable for an Orthodox person.
I find it amazing how the norse, once labeled as “barbarian” people, whose vikings once raided and pillaged anywhere they could reach, managed to create the countries with the highest HDI on the planet.
True. My country is one of least habitable countries on the planet, with almost no viable farmland. Yet here we are, #1 on The Human Development Index.
Well, maybe that's because our image of the vikings is mostly propaganda from the Christian monks they were in conflict with. Their pillaging and raiding was only minor compared to their trade networks and colonies. They had a 900 year long democratic tradition, the oldest we know of in history. They were excellent ship builders and explorers, had craftsmanship and a law of order more reasonable than any other at the time. They had stronger rights for women, a woman could be a soldier if she wanted, she had inheritance rights, she often had leadership roles, she could marry and divorce as she herself wished. And unlike the rest of Europe at the time, they mostly did not practice capital punishment of decapitation of limbs for thieves and criminals. We also have records where the English mock the Norse because the Norse washes once a week. Which was something the English only did once a year. There is often a huge focus on the viking slave trade, but all of Europe had slaves then, the vikings were traders so they traded slaves like any other commodity. If you read the sagas, there is one particular story of king Olav who went in disguise among some pagans, and in that story you'll actually find that the Norse trells slept in the same room as their lords, they ate at the same table, they were included and active in religious rituals. Compared to how slaves were treated in England or elsewhere, the Norse really had developed slightly more egalitarian than their southern neighbours. All in all, compared to the rest of Europa, the Norse were probably the cleanest, most civilized when it comes to human values, most egalitarian bunch of people. Compared to our standards, they were not - but these were different times. They were also taller than any other Europeans because they were better fed. So the fact that the Nordic countries has the highest HDI in the world is _not_ _at_ _all_ surprising, it's a result of thousands of years of cultural development. It's just that you guys still believe in ancient propaganda from English monks.
@@armzngunz Haha don't be a fool. The Sami do not own that land and have only marginal historical claims to certain regions... and it's not like they would be capable of enforcing their possession, even if they did actually control those territories
Its cool to see that most old "nations" still exist now like Ostrogothia turned into Östergötland, Westrogothia turned into Västergötland, Uppsala is still Uppsala, Wermlandia is now Värmland, Helsingia is now Hälsingland, Kinda is now a city in Östergötland, Öland And Gotland Is Still the same and Dal is now Dalarna
@@Whatareyoudoinnhere Vestfold doesn't exist as a county anymore. It was recently merged with other counties to the greater Viken fylke, though the name is probably still in use. In Sweden we usually use the names of the historical provinces rather than the counties, and I think the Norwegians might do that too to some extent. For example: Västra Götaland county consists of the historical Västergötland, Bohuslän and Dalsland. If a Swede asks another Swede: "Where are you from?" and the other Swede says: "I'm from Åmål." and then the first Swede asks: "Where is that?" it's likely that the second Swede would answer: "It's in the northeastern part of Dalsland" rather than "In the northern part of Västra Götaland county".
What does that even mean? A person from Västergötland in the 8th century was culturally closer to a Dane than a person from Västergötland in the 17th century when the culture was controlled by the Lutheran Swedish church/king. In between, culture was ruled by Rome. If you want to preserve cultures, North Korea is a good example, where people are not allowed or can afford to change culture or the Amish who control people through shame so the culture is preserved. If you think we've left religious fundamentalism behind, just look at how people were shamed into taking an injection for a disease that wasn't that dangerous to the vast majority of people, or the worship of Saint Climate Greta. Obey the science.
Kinda is actually a place now as well, along with a lot of the smaller areas from the very early stages of these nations. Kinda is the name of a municipality in Östergötland (or Ostrogothia in Latin). Though it is pronounced "Schinda", with the "sch"-part as in the English word "hush". The same goes for Finnveden for example, it's still a used name for the region it once was and it's where I come from! #lectured

Yeah, they payed tribute, they were a tributary, not a part of the Mongol Empire. Was the Roman Empire a part of the Hun Empire because they payed tribute to them lol?
Novgorod, like most of the North-Eastern and Northern principalities of Rusia, was not part of The Golden Horde. Paid tribute, were vassals, but not part of the Horde.

A little hiccup but nothing major: Eastern Karelia or Karelia was its own SSR not Russian SFSR but it was incorporated in 56 back into an ASSR into the Russian SFSR
Wait what? 5:03 in year 1917 southern Finland as "Russian SFSR"? Does the map refer to the Finnish civil war which took Part in 1918? And south totally was not Russian SFSR.

yeah we were great under the viking age, owned parts of England, France, the whole Iceland was part of the Norwegian kingdom, the whole greenland (before Denmark stole it from us), and we discovered america first in the viking age (a place they called vinland). but after all these raids, and all the epidemics like svartedauden we became weaker and in the end Sweden and Denmark took great advantage of that and stole most of our land and never gave it gack when we became independent

Hey Ollie Bye !

Archaeological evidence suggests the first skates were made of animal bones in around 3000 BC to aid travel during the frozen winters in Finland. Scientists who made the discovery say it means that ice skating is the oldest form of human-powered transport.
They were Tavastians who lived in what you called Birkaland and Vanaja. Vanaja was an acient tavastian city named by Novgorodians and Birkaland wasn't founded until 1956 (was part of Satakunta until then).
But… from 1940 to 1991 on the territory of the USSR near Finland there were Karelo-Finnish SSR and Karelian ASSR. They are not on the map, but the Estonian SSR is. That's strange.
@@mistah_mio7820 Norway have been a countrey for 1,128 years, it got its newest constatution in 1814 and started the process to become independant, in 1905 they got thei full independant, but there have been cases where norwegians have fought the sweedes in battle for independance too, Like in 1814 where a band of the norwegian army held out in a fort for 4 years in Fredriksten festing, and leading to the death of the Sweedish king "Charles XIV John of Sweden" most likely shot in the battlefield by a Norwegian soldier. so norway have been strong ever since its Creation, just that sometimes sweden and Denamrk were stronger

@@mky3039 Khan title is Turkic, all Mongol elite family was assimilated by Turkic and went on to build Turkic empires like (Golden Horde, Chagatai, Dzhuchi, Timurids).
Why is "Vanaja" mentioned? It is actually part of Tavastia. Tavastia is actually located next to Birkaland not next to Karelia. You should add Kvenland, first time seen on a map in 814 CE. Pohjola might not be actual place, it is more likely geographical region related to Lapland (Pohjola = The North),.
Magnus Guglius Vuglius 4:11 Sweden att it's greatest point. Conclusion of: Sweden, part of Norway, Estonia, Latvia, Northern Germany, Saint Barthelemy, Swedish Gold coast, New Sweden.
Very interesting and detailed map history, although it is assuming quite a lot in the years before say 1000 CE. Actual sources would be great to include if possible.
Yeah, it's a little too far north on the map. It used to be one of the biggest cities back then. I find the Viking museum in Ribe very interesting. So much history
If you marked Russian SFSR and Estonian SSR during existence of Soviet Union, you also must have marked Karelo-Finnish SSR during it's existence in 1940-1956

Thank you for a video about my country and her Nordic sisters! Greetings from Norway
Wait what? 5:03 in year 1917 southern Finland as "Russian SFSR"? Does the map refer to the Finnish civil war which took Part in 1918? And south totally was not Russian SFSR. It was the socialist Finland, also known as the red guards and they were aided by the soviets but certainly not enough to be labelled as "Russian SFSR"
yes, it's true. Idk why too...
I just learned that Denmark became a constant, more or less stable nation something like 1000 years before Finland. And I'm Finnish.
Denmark have always beaten sweden and have owned norway for over 400 years but we became weak after england killed our navy in 1800
3:14 Norway is great
yeah we were great under the viking age, owned parts of England, France, the whole Iceland was part of the Norwegian kingdom, the whole greenland (before Denmark stole it from us), and we discovered america first in the viking age (a place they called vinland). but after all these raids, and all the epidemics like svartedauden we became weaker and in the end Sweden and Denmark took great advantage of that and stole most of our land and never gave it gack when we became independent

wow great bill wurtz reference
It's was awesome, bro. I really love videos about the history.
Very interesting. I didn't know Scandinavia had states far back in 300 CE.
Petty kingdoms, just like much of northern Europe at the time.
They were not kingdoms, they were tribes and tribal confederations.
Ęÿūį Æßñ tribes could have petty kings, they just weren't feudal. More like warlords. But succession was still monarchical.
These kind of maps are often pretty generalizing before proper nations (1500s).
ivan55599 Even the 1500s is really too early to be talking of proper nations; the concept of statehood only started developing after the Peace of Westphalia (1648) and then only really became prominent in the late 18th century.

Hey Ollie Bye ! Is it possible if you can do a video about the History of the whole Eurasian Steppes (which would include, Eastern Europe, Anatolia, the Caucasus, Persia, Central Asia, the Xinjiang Region, Tibet and Mongolia). I really do believe it would be awesome if you cover this whole region because of the impact it has had on Human History due to all the various migration that went from Asia to Europe and the Middle East. =D
You forgot the Karelian SSR
And Republic of Uhtua
Your country is ARABISTAN
One thing I learn from this is that lots of smaller states merge into larger states. How far will it go?
All the way

Archaeological evidence suggests the first skates were made of animal bones in around 3000 BC to aid travel during the frozen winters in Finland. Scientists who made the discovery say it means that ice skating is the oldest form of human-powered transport.
You videos are very entertaining and educational keep up the good work 😍😀
Great video. The only problem is that the mongols never took Novgorod. They mostly controlled southern Russia and Ukraine.
They were Tavastians who lived in what you called Birkaland and Vanaja. Vanaja was an acient tavastian city named by Novgorodians and Birkaland wasn't founded until 1956 (was part of Satakunta until then).
Very good job !!

But… from 1940 to 1991 on the territory of the USSR near Finland there were Karelo-Finnish SSR and Karelian ASSR. They are not on the map, but the Estonian SSR is.
That's strange.

During this period, Karelia was part of the Russian SFSR, while Estonia was part of the USSR.

Jack NeXuS it got its Independence in 1905 lol
@@mistah_mio7820 Norway have been a countrey for 1,128 years, it got its newest constatution in 1814 and started the process to become independant, in 1905 they got thei full independant, but there have been cases where norwegians have fought the sweedes in battle for independance too, Like in 1814 where a band of the norwegian army held out in a fort for 4 years in Fredriksten festing, and leading to the death of the Sweedish king "Charles XIV John of Sweden" most likely shot in the battlefield by a Norwegian soldier. so norway have been strong ever since its Creation, just that sometimes sweden and Denamrk were stronger

these for the most part are very good
Interesting to see out of all the small states which one counquers
Why is "Vanaja" mentioned? It is actually part of Tavastia. Tavastia is actually located next to Birkaland not next to Karelia. You should add Kvenland, first time seen on a map in 814 CE. Pohjola might not be actual place, it is more likely geographical region related to Lapland (Pohjola = The North),.

If you marked Russian SFSR and Estonian SSR during existence of Soviet Union, you also must have marked Karelo-Finnish SSR during it's existence in 1940-1956
