Really? You just need to get on TH-cam and whisper, "Italian History" three times and he'll show up, animation in tow, looking for a piece of the action.
Julius Caesar was not emperor. He appointed himself as dictator for life but he was never an emperor. Augustus was the first emperor and the founder of the empire
His style of governance, accumulation of power, hereditary succession, military command, political reforms is emperor in all but name. Romans didn't even have the concept of an emperor as we later see it until after his death. There were Roman emperors that were less emperors than Caesar because there were times later when there were multiple emperors at the same time. " During Julius Caesar's lifetime, the concept of an emperor as it would be understood later in Roman history did not exist. Rome was still a Republic, and its political structure was based on a complex system of checks and balances involving the Senate, consuls, and various other elected magistrates. The title "imperator" did exist, but it was used as a military honorific given to victorious generals and did not carry the monarchical connotations it later acquired. Julius Caesar's accumulation of power, particularly through his appointment as "dictator perpetuo" (dictator in perpetuity), was an unprecedented move towards autocracy. However, the idea of a single ruler with the title and recognized authority of an emperor was not formalized until after his assassination. The establishment of the Roman Empire, with Augustus (formerly Octavian) as its first emperor, marked the official transition from the Roman Republic to the Roman Empire. Augustus took on the title "princeps" (first citizen) and later "imperator," solidifying the role of emperor as a singular ruler with consolidated power, a structure that would define the subsequent Roman Empire. Thus, while Caesar had immense power akin to an emperor, the formal concept of an emperor emerged after his time."
Love how you completely skip the Hohenstaufen. No Frederick Barbarossa, no Federico II. Basically a whole century’s worth of seismic history just left out. We go from, basically, the early Middle Ages to the Italian wars in about three sentences. Also… directly connecting the Italian Renaissance to the French Revolution is a big, BIG leap.
Good catch! Skipping over the Hohenstaufen era really does miss out on a significant chunk of medieval history, especially with figures like Frederick Barbarossa and Frederick II. Those years had a massive impact on both political and cultural landscapes, and bridging the Italian Renaissance directly to the French Revolution definitely glosses over a lot. Thanks for pointing it out!
There's a channel called Cambrian Chronicles that just talks about Wales. They are very different kinds of videos, but still informative and interesting.
@@GabibboReall you should read about the etymology of the word doge it comes from the latin and is a Venetian word, not from the later italian word duca
Fun fact: the logo of the Italian Republic has the Italian star, that's probably the oldest symbol to represent Italy. It's Hesperus the evening star. Astronomers realized that Hesperus and Phosphorus (the evening star and the morning star) were actually the same star and named it Lucifer. So basically the symbol of Italy Is the Devil. Anyway the astronomers also understand that it wasn't a star at all, but the planet Venus.
Italy did not switch sides in WWI, they had a defensive pact with Austria-Hungary and Germany and they were the aggressors so Italy had no obligation Also Doge is not Italian for duke, it's an unique idiom used by the venicians Still, really good video!
Julius Cesar never was an emperor... He indeed was a dictator which was viewed as fine and useful during crisis and held the title of "imperatore" that would be translated as general or smt more military like The Empire starts with Augustus, after Cesar's death :/

9:30 Caesar was not elected to rule over Gaul but Cisalpine Gaul, which is northern Italy and not of Gaul itself. He waged war against the Gauls illegally and was about to get punished for it, a major reason to cross the Rubicon and start a civil war. Also additionally, Cisalpine Gaul was very close to Rome, allowing Caesar to "rush" the Capitol so easily.

I always thought Roman and Greek gods developed from a common Indo-European source, not that the Rome appropriated from Greece, no? Like Jupiter and Zeus come from Deus Pater or Sky Father, right?
That is correct. The Roman Pantheon was worshipped long before the Romans ever came in contact with the Greeks. It just happened that the Greek Pantheon was very similar in nature. However the Romans believe their gods did not have mortal features therefore there were no effigies of Roman gods. The Romans then adopted Greek gods as their own.
@@IceNinja2007 Oh that's so interesting thank you. It's funny to see how different Indo-European religious features are incorporated in different cultures. Like Dyauspitr's relative lack of prominence in Hinduism and the Vedas compared to Zeus' prominence in Greece.
@@achilles4242 another thing is that even tho they added Greek gods to their pantheon they didn’t lose their own gods that did not have a Greek counterpart. At the same time they continued to add Gods from other religions too. For example they also added Mitra.
A big change was how they depicted their gods. Before contact with Greek culture, the Romans didn’t really depict their gods as humans. After contact with Greece, that’s when they copied the Greek depictions (Jupiter as a buff old bearded man like Zeus, etc).
So when did people living on the Italian peninsula became Italian? And what happened to the Latin speaking Romans living there after the Germanic invasions?
@@marcobelli6856 Athenians spoke Greek, ofcourse the language changes through time but Italians losts all the Romans technological and political achievements so doesnt seem to me like they are the same people
@@baserv3849 I mean, Italy is at the center of the mediterranean, everyone was getting in there. Italians are a mixture of multiple nationality, the Italian is a Romance language (comes from latin) but you can easly see which region of italy is most influenced by other population. Like the sud tirol/northen italy is highly influenced by Germans and austrian, their dialiect is gemanish. The south of italy has a dialect with root in arabic and spanish languages, like the sicilian spoken in Palermo is more like Catalan than Italian. In Puglia there are villages where they speak a greek dialect. We can say that the latin roots of italy are more in the center of italy (where Rome is located). This is history, from the roman empire Italy was already a mixture of cultures and traditions.
Trivia note: The U.S. game show The Amazing Race has been on for 36 Seasons, & they have been to Italy for 9 of them; 1, 4, 9, 12, 20, 24, 25, 29, & 34.
Although Jupiter/Jove adapted many of Zeus' stories, they are, at the very least, etymologically descended from the same proto-indo European "Sky Father" independent of each other.
It’s funny because this really evidences that the Italians have never been good at warfare outhouse of the Roman Empire but the legacy ensured their survival.
So you are telling me Greek mythology and Hindu mythology is same!? And according to google Hindu mythology is the oldest. So when tfuck greek copied the whole story from India? It's so strange the similarity is very specific The Vedic astrology (Indian astrology) and Hindu mythology have fucking similiar things.
It is not the same, but they are both coming from the same Indo-European mythological roots. So there are a lot of similarities in their mythology and languages.
