Historians usually agree that the massive immigration of barbarians to Roman territory was caused by an enormous drop in temperatures and Hunnic attacks. Therefore, it is safe to say that stirrups and lack of coats caused the fall of Rome.
The Huns did not use the stirrup - neither grave finds nor Roman writings show any. It's not until the Avars came in the late 500's that the stirrup arrived in Europe, after the Western half of the Roman Empire fell.
i agree on both as a matter of fact the map shows germanic people in the wrong place i guess visigoths were located in the balkans Ostrogoths were located East of them Huns invaded the land of the Ostrogoths, they pushed the Visigoths, who pushed into the empire the ruote from scandinavia was way larger than just trough Denmark we are talking about Finland and then southwards
Yeah. Germanicus begged to Tiberius “One more campaign, they are weak, it would the very last attack, germania will be subjugated and tamed” Tiberius: No! I want germans to invade us one day!
Augustus was so smart in so many ways. He did a lot of things right. But he messed up his succession. Tiberius was a weird guy who governed like a weird guy. A pretty bad emperor all around.
scholars generally accept the entire population of the empire never exceeded 75 million. So the Western half probably had 30-40 million. 120 million is 100% impossible.
i'm pretty sure they meant the whole Roman empire. so from Hadrian's wall to North Africa and from Morocco to Irak. and for all those territories 120 million sounds plausible.
@ChristiaanHW the world population at the time was around 180-200 million. China had 60-80 million at this time. So if Rome had 120 million then there would have to be almost nobody outside of Rome and China, which we know can't be true, seeing as India alone also had a very large population. Thus Rome couldn't have 120 million. Most academics say 75 million max.
The Huns likely entered Western Asia shortly before 370, from Central Asia: they first conquered the Goths and the Alans, pushing a number of tribes to seek refuge within the Roman Empire. In the following years, the Huns conquered most of the Germanic and Scythian tribes outside of the borders of the Roman Empire.

"these germanic tribes shared many similiarities with the vikings as well." Am i missing something? "Vikings" are germanic already. Why did the video talk about vikings as if they werent germanic?
Fun fact: The largest diaspora of Germans today (people of Germanic descent living outside of Germany itself) is in the United States. It is the most prevalent ethnicity in the US, mostly due to the waves of German immigrants in the 19th century who settled in the Great Lakes area (think beer and pretzels) as well as the plains states. My grandparents grew up speaking German at home in rural Kansas, farming and raising livestock. Much of the middle and north of the country is still predominantly German ethnically (as well as Polish and Scandinavian), while English ancestry clusters mostly in the eastern third of the country, and Irish and Italian communities tended to remain predominantly in cities. There have been many other waves of immigrants too, obviously, such as Chinese, Jews, Russians (and Slavs in general), Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, Cubans, Filipinos, Southeast Asians, and on and on. It’s what made the USA such a vibrant nation culturally and economically.
Yeah. I found out last year that I have an American uncle and he came to visit us here in Germany last week. He doesn't speak German but his grandparents did. They emigrated in the 1800's. Back then people left en masse due to famine and the promise of freedom (they still had feudalism in Germany). I also notice just how many Americans today still have German surnames, it's crazy.
@@guleet75The English are also Germanic cousins…combining the other German speaking countries of Austria and Switzerland which has about 2 million descendants in the states gives Germans the majority even with combined British isles
I am only at half the video, love the subject, but get irked by the lack of knowledge and understanding. The Macromanic wars of Marcus Aurelius around the year 200 were not mentioned. Neither was mentioned the migration of the Goths south in the middle of the 3rd century, including invading the Balkan Peninsula, and eventually settling on the northern side of Danube river in what is now Romania and Ukraine. The Visigoths did not come into the Western Empire from Germany! They came through the Danube in what is now Bulgaria, killed a Roman Emperor in the battle of Adrianople in 378, had free reign in the Balkans and took them 32 years before they moved into Italy and sacked Rome. Also the push that started the domino effect were the Huns who attacked the Goths in Ukraine and moved Westward pushing Alans, Vandals, Goths, Franks, Suebi etc across the Danube and Rhine.
The description is extremely vague. Nothing is said about the eastern migration of the Goths, nothing about the kingdom of Oium on the territory of modern Ukraine. The path of migration is shown incorrectly.
What migration???.......the one described by Jordanes??? Those were a bunch of Goths on three ships and that was no migration. The rest of Goths lived right there on Romanian territories and the most powerful of them named GREUTHUNGI have a most Romanian name. GREU means "heavy". GREU-THUNGI means "the heavy ones". The territory was called OIUM, because whoever passed thru had to pay taxes called OIUM. OIUM is derived from the word OI meaning "sheep" in Romanian. The word OIUM meaning "food for Oi (sheep). Even today in Romania one has to pay OIUM 5% to a miller for milling wheat in to flower. Huns and Goths were Romanian ancestors. Germans didn't migrate anywhere. Those were Goths/Gete not Germans. Stop this stupid Mommsen theory. Can't you fools see there is not a German word in those countries you claim Germans conquered??? Conquerors always impose their language. Look at the present situation you idiots. Where Spanish conquered, people speak Spanish. Where Portuguese conquered, people speak Portuguese. Where French conquered, people speak French. Where English people conquered, people speak English. Do you see how dumb you are??? The Goths were Romanian ancestors GAETI/GETE and that is why Italian, Spanish and Portuguese are closer to Romanian than to Latin. Do you fools get it???
Low quality popularisation of history : a bunch of maps displayed in arbitrary order without dates, frequent use of dubious terms like "ferocious" and "savages", use of teleology, etc. If there's a bingo card of how *not* to popularise European history from the 300s-500s, this proboably ticks all the boxes. If anyone wants good history videos on this topic, The Historian's Craft is a much better TH-cam channel.
@@lamastu2156 What are you basing 40 million at its height on? While I don't know where this video got 120 million, Waltger Scheidel puts the Empire at over 100 million, while more conservative estimates (such as Kyle Harpers) put it around 75 million.
@@lindenstromberg6859 The time of Pax Romana the cities had almost 40 million citizens. That I've learned in history scool. Now how many oiving on steppes is anither story. Nobody can say for sure. Roman empire was primary at some cities in Iberian peninsula, the modern Italy without the north Italy, Sicily, the Greek peninsula, the Greek cities in Anatolia and Egypt who formed after Alexander and Roman Carthage. The other parts as northern Iberia, Gallia, Dunabe land, Levant and main Egypt was Secondary Rome. Romans consider the prime citizens the Latin and Greek speakers and secondary the other cultures. Now at 3rd century before the fault of western empire maybe the empire had 120 million citizens. No one can say for sure
You're right. The roman empire at its peak is estimated to have reached between 60 and 100 million people. That's the entirety of the empire. And some of the most populated regions were in the east (Egypt, Greece)
@@padinspi11 the area of modern day spain, portugal, france, italy had a population around 30 million at the time, compared to the modern day area of egypt, levant, anatolia had almost 20 million people
120 million is way too much for the population of the Western Empire. Scholars generally think the entire empire never exceeded 75 million. So the Western half probably had around half of that. The first empire to reach 100 million in population was Tang China.
Ironically the Ostrogothic Kingdom in Italy under the reign of Theodoric the Great was better governed and prosperous than under the last Roman emperors. Despite the weaknesses of King Theodoric’s successors, the Ostrogoth administration maintained Roman civilization in Italy and it could be argued that ancient Roman civilization in its old homeland was destroyed with the devastation wrought by the eastern Roman Empire’s invasion during the Gothic War.
Then the former Western Roman Empire got its revenge during the 4th Crusade, which permanently crippled the Eastern Empire, thus enabling the Ottoman conquest in 1453
Gothic people most have some connection with Sweden. We have both "Göter/Gauter" (Southern Sweden) and "Gotlänning/Guter" (people from the island in the baltic) groups in Sweden. Jordanes the 6th century historian said that the goths come from a island in the north called Scandza....
Yeah, Got, Goth, Gota, Jute, Geat, all same root word for groups with the same ancestry. With Visigoths and Ostrogoths stemming from there, and then settle all of Europe, it's a wonder we came to name them Germanic Peoples. Gothic peoples would have been a much better fit.
Your numbers here feel well off. Most Censuses I’ve seen to the Roman Empire’s around 60 million. Not 120 million. It’s very difficult to gain a reliable estimate of Germania’s population at the same time, but 3 million sounds ridiculously low. Like an ancient historian has just counted warriors and their familles, and not the vast network of tenant farmers, slaves and their families beneath them.
my guy, even medieval england only had 3 million people, and france during that same time had nearly 20 million yet england was so good at fighting, that they managed to face france for 112 years and almost beat them all of germania having 3 million people just before their agriculture collapsed seems not only reasonable, but almost too much
It's interesting to think how the Romans Latinized half of Europe, but when the Germans conquered the Roman Empire they simply melded into the Latinized lands (aside from Britain). On the other hand, when the Slavs conquered the other half of Europe nearly every area they took became Slavicized. The Slavs were never known as a powerful people, yet they still became more dominant.
Yes and almost ignored in this video 🤣 I was checking once, current population of Slavs vs other groups like Latin, Germanic in Europe and Slavs have highest number. Wondering how that happend. Such a loosers but such huge fertility and adaptability success.
The Germanic tribes had a strong warlike culture, they were hierarchical and created many strong kingdoms. While the Slavs (even though they also waged wars) were not that centralized it seems. The strongest and most important early Slavic states were not created by Slavs, but by Bulgars and Rus for example, which melted into the Slavic ethnicity. They probably had a very inclusive culture, as Procopius stated that they lived in a 'democracy'. Also they were probably quite numerous and settled in lands devastated by wars and migrations, which gave them strong positions in those regions. Actually, the Slavs that settled in the Byzantine Empire, were under a heavy threat of hellenization, however they managed to create their own Slavic culture - the Cyrillic alphabet, the Slavic liturgical language, etc. and survive even in those areas.
@@RichardRemerIt is not only the written word, it is the civilization, the Roman is the greatest civilization ever seen in this side of the world, the Germanic tribes were just barbarians, and left nothing to posterity, not even in their own homeland. Europe is what it is because of the Greek-Roman civilization!! And this civilization is now predominant in most of the world (thanks to the colonial expansion of European countries).
Amazing to still hear the Nordic and Germanic people being called "barbarians". Meanwhile you can't even point out the savagery of individual tribes of other peoples.
Great video but it made me chuckle that… “The westernmost migration of the Germanic tribes ended up in Britain” Meanwhile the Suebi at the bottom of the screen chillin’ all the way in Galicia on the other side of Hispania: 👀👀👀
The biggest mistake Rome made was hiring Germanic mercenaries... These mercenaries made the backbone of the Germanic armies that invaded Rome... They also knew everything about Rome and its military. The same mistake was made centuries later by the Persians, who had continuously hired Arab mercenaries. For those who don't know, the Arabs took-over Persia and Islamised them.
The Huns never reached Scandinavia and thus not caused the Jutes and Angles to go to England. But the Danes, originally inhibiting the Danish Isles and Scania at the same time emerged in Jutland. If they just filled up a vacuum or repressed Jutes and Angles is difficult to say, probably a combination, but I think first of all people crossed the North Sea because they could. Shipbuilding and seafaring techologies accellerated in these centuries and would a few centuries later culminate in the Viking age.
The Vikings did build amazing ships. Did you see the Viking ship they rebuilt which raced a modern yacht? The Viking ship lost, but it kept pace well. Amazing ships.
Research found that the Roman era had comparatively warm climate, which made also the Germanic lands in the north inhabitable. Still Tacitus wrote about the "cold and raindripping forests of Germania". Probably it was the worsening climate in the dark ages of th 4th and 5th century due to volcanic eruptions somewhere on the globe. which made Germanic tribes migrate, and the reputation of the rich Roman lands. When the Romans arrived in Germany the city of Rome was a big city of a 100 000 inhabitants. while in Germany only villages existed, not a single town! Only villages. Originally the Germanic tribes were backward and living in a kind of cold rainy jungle which covererd their land with a few fields and villages in between. In military terms and handicraft they caught up, in science the backlog of lasted till into the 12 century and longer, while the Arabs who conquered Palestine and North Africa allowed Greek science to continue to thrive except for philosophy, where they interdicted all philosophy outside of Islam. So when Spain was reconquered, they began to translate Arab copies of Greek scientific books back into European languages. The western Europe conquered by Germanic tribes had fallen back below the level the Romans had already achieved. You see this in mathematics where the Arabs developed Al Gebra, and only from the 16th century on the names become French, German, and English: Bernoulli, Law of Cauchy, Lagrange, Laplace, L'Hopital (French), Gauss, Leibniz, Euler (German), Law of Stokes (British).
They weren't running away from anything Xiongnu-Han wars had ended long before the migration period and Huns already had their own polity near the Altai that is the kingdom of Yueban
The Huns didn't run from anybody or anything. They were migratory Skyts who went from the Black Sea to China and controlled everything. They were White Race and their original name was OUZI. Today in Mandarin OUZOU means "European"......get it??? The Mongols were related to the Huns, and Mongols were White Race as well. Genghis Khan had red beard and blue eyes.
correct , however the word Viking was not only used as "going Viking! it was also used for people although many think it wasn't we have Rune stones in Scandinavia where the locals complains about other Vikings (Vikingr/Vikingar in old Norse) and one Rune stone who reads "he was a great Viking" , anyway the Germanic people spread from Scandinavia
Exactly my thougt. Vikings were part of the northern Germanic culture group. The term "Viking" was used since the looting of the english Lindisfarne monastery in 793 AD. Before it was called "Vendel culture". The term "Germanic" was used until the different tribes were christianizated. That happened in Iceland in the Middle Ages around 1000 AD. The Saxons for example were christianizated by the sword around 800 AD. The first Franconian king who was baptized was Chlodwig in 498 AD. A turning point in european history... Also the number of 120 million inhabitants of the Roman Empire is to much. Should be around 80 million more or less. That is roughly around the third of the complete world population in these times!
@@azazeln CE stands for common era, in other words when we started counting the years in the new calendar the romans introduced, BCE stands for before common era, before the new year count The christians use their own system which is basically the same but have given their own meaning to it, this was decided on with the Council of Nicea in 325 CE when the roman Catholic church tried to unify all christian cults and reform solely under the roman Catholic church
@@Trickaz94 Are you serious? The romans just happened to introduce a new calendar in the exact birth year of Jesus Christ? Stop spreading misinformation. The calendar we use today is the gregorian calendar based on Jesus Christs birth, and the atheists just want to use BCE and CE instead of the actual terminology which is BC and Anno Domini.

Even though its citizens would have called themselves Roman, Byzantium is not really considered as Rome due to major greek influence and differences in culture but also because of the different capital.
Germanic tribes is just the name and does not mean German tribes. There were no German people on the territory of Poland until Polish prince invited the Order of Teutonic Knights in the 12th century. Ostrogoths, Visigoths and Vandals were maybe Germanic tribes but they are not ancestors of Germans.
what it means Germanic ? who gave the name Germania and what was the meaning of this name? Who wrote the history and made maps of the central Europe at that time ? Who was interpreting Germanic tribes which become Germans ? How many countries is called Germany -"Germany/Germania" today?" And explain the difference between German vs Germanic Tribes? If we start talking about it in that way then we can say Italian Empire not Roman Empire.
Low quality video which misspells Britain and calls it the westernmost Germanic migration despite their Spanish conquests, dramatically overestimates the population of the Western Empire, doesn’t get into the actual question in title… not sure if it’s AI slop or human error, but in either case: 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼
Why mentioning some origins in southern Scandinavia but only coloring Denmark in green? It is known that some Germanic tribes probably originated from southern Sweden and possible south east Norway e.g The Heruli.
Because the heart land of the culture is Jutland, the Danish islands and Skåne. If you take a look at Beowulf and the locations of Nordic bronze age cult finds.
Sure, it could be a sort of heart land. Beowulf likely originating from the Geats(Götar) in what is nowadays Sweden. Yes, I know he traveled to the Danish King
5:50 Showing the Ostrogoth going south east from today's Czechia to Illyria is so funny 😄 It's probably to have them come what OP's map shows as Germania, but these people came from the Pontic (today's Ukraine), pushed by even fiercer warriors coming from the East: the Great Migrations from the other half of Eurasia to Europe had begun.

The western Europe conquered by Germanic tribes had fallen back below the level the Romans had already achieved. The Goths had already come from Sweden to Romania when the Huns arrived, not yet islamized Turks coming from the Kaspian sea. The huns were horsemen from eastern steps with a very different military equipment based primarily on cavalry and mounted archers with special reflex bows offering a more powerful shot, and this from horseback using the moment when in galllop all 4 hooves are in the air for a more precise shot.. This forced the Goths to escape to south-west or to become "Varangian guards" for the Byzantines. You see this in mathematics where the Arabs developed Al Gebra, and only from the 16th century on the names become French, German, and British: Bernoulli, Law of Cauchy, Lagrange, Laplace, L'Hopital (French), Gauss, Leibniz, Euler (German), Law of Stokes (British).
I have always read that the cause was the Asiatic hordes. As you said, even though the Germans were great at warfare, the Asiatic hordes were beyond the ability of even the Germans to fight.
1. It was mainly because of the climate change, weather became colder and colder, therefore, it was harder and harder to agriculture. 2. Almost at the same time, the Chinese empire in the east also suffered the same situation, including the Huns. 3. The Huns was also forced to move to the south, when they encountered Chinese, some started to move west. It was not because the Huns was stronger to beat the German, it was simply because they had large amount of cavalry, and the German were almost infantry.
Gonna have to bust this video for playing fast and loose with the facts 🤨. You need to do more research or consult a professional Roman historian, perhaps.
This video kind of glosses over the gothic kingdom in modern Ukraine and similar regions. Also the other east-germanic tribes like the vandals that were nearby. Collectively they were the ones who took the brunt of the initial hunnic invasion into europe which is the reason why the migrations started. I've always wanted to know more about that old gothic kingdom, it's not very well sourced though.
As a German i think its highly offensive to call my ancestors barbarians. When Europeans moved into the Americans we didnt call them barbarians either.
Heard about the 'Huns Theory,' in University. The notion of that time was there might have been a "cold spell" in what is now Mongolia or what is now Southern Siberia, for several decades or generations. So people were fleeing the cold?
The region that the Romans called Germania is the region of Central and Northern Europe, which is the north of the Roman country. The tribes living in the Germania region at that time were the Turks, the westernmost Sak (Scythian) tribes, and they had been living in this region for centuries. Many Turkish tribes lived in Germany, who could not unite among themselves. The most important of these were: 1. This name, which is mentioned as Alamanni in Roman sources, has been transformed from the Old Turkish word ala, which means mixed color ALAMAN. 2. This name, which is mentioned as Angli in Roman sources, has been transformed from the Old Turkish word ANGIL, which means all / whole. 3. This name, which is mentioned as Axones or Saxones in Roman sources, has been transformed from the Old Turkish word AKAN, which means flowing, flocking. 4.

This name, which is mentioned as Buri in Roman sources, has been transformed from the Old Turkish word BÜR, which means buran, buren, büzen. (Shirring) 7. This name, which is mentioned as Chaedini in Roman sources, has been transformed from the Old Turkish word KADING, which means beech, hard and beech tree. 8. This name, which is mentioned as Cherusci in Roman sources, has been transformed from the Old Turkish word KERİŞÇİ, which means quarrelsome, warrior. 9. This name, which is mentioned as Dani in Roman sources, has been transformed from the Old Turkish word TAN (skin), meaning long, wide and trunk. 10. This name, which is mentioned as Franci in Roman sources, has been transformed from the Old Turkish word BURANG, which means gust / storm. 11. This name, which is mentioned as Frisi in Roman sources, has been transformed from the word BIRİŞ, which means compound in Old Turkish. 12. This name, which is mentioned as Gepidae in Roman sources, has been transformed from the Old Turkish word KEPİT, which means large, bulging, large. 13. This name, which is mentioned as Rugi in Roman sources, has been transformed from the Old Turkish word URUG, which means ancestry, seed. 14. This name, which is mentioned as Suione in Roman sources, has been transformed from the Old Turkish word SUYAN, which means throwing, throwing, flowing. 15.

It's safe to say Turks are responsible for the fall of both Western and Eastern Rome in a thousand years apart. Mehmet II finished what Atilla started.
@@manjushagongale Huns are one of the oldest known ancestors of Turkic people. They split into Western Huns and Eastern Huns in Europe and Asia. Atilla led the western branch.
One anecdote about the vagueness of the term Germania: One of the south-easternmost pre-migration tribal confederation were the Bastarnae & while this map cuts off Germania in Silesia, the Bastarnae lived all the way in current-day Moldova. Post-migration you would still have Germanic tribes in areas like Crimea (the Crimean Goths) for centuries. The use of a green map shade with a strict border is to be regarded as suboptimal as it implies strict cutting-off of an area, though I get it why in mapping people tend to do it.
I hate it when the fall of the Western Roman Empire is described as the end of the Roman Empire. The empire survived for 1000 years longer in the East.
Mixed with the Germans were some Iranian speaking tribes called Alans that for a few years even had a kingdom in hispania. The most obvious trace of them remaining are the Alano (Alaunt, Alao) dogs that the brought to Spain-Portugral and southern France.

"Why do we call the whole world's attention to the fact that we have no past? It isn't enough that the Romans were erecting great buildings when our forefathers were still living in mud huts; now Himmler is starting to dig up these villages of mud huts ... All we prove by that is that we were still throwing stone hatchets and crouching around open fires when Greece and Rome had already reached the highest stage of culture.

the Adriatic Sea was dominated by the Albanians ( illyrians) before Rome became an empire through the lembi and liburna ships..without forgetting that the Macedonians were also vassals of the Illyrians until Philip (Alexander Father) managed to gain independence in the period of King Bardhyl
Steppe tribes usually migrate when they're being displaced from their land by another tribal confederation or when their steppe neighbours are weak and easy to conquer. The Alans on the Ponto-Caspian steppe were weaker than the Huns and were ripe for conquest
They were forced to move go the west by the Ancient Chinese during Han Dynasty that defeated the Huns back in late BC times and made them moved the West centuries later
Doesn't make sense I thought huns r not xiognu lmao. And why would huns move west if Chinese stayed in China for next century and huns were in central Asia. They kept on moving to west all the way to France despite conquering everyone around them

Historians usually agree that the massive immigration of barbarians to Roman territory was caused by an enormous drop in temperatures and Hunnic attacks. Therefore, it is safe to say that stirrups and lack of coats caused the fall of Rome.
How much of a temperature drop?
The Huns did not use the stirrup - neither grave finds nor Roman writings show any. It's not until the Avars came in the late 500's that the stirrup arrived in Europe, after the Western half of the Roman Empire fell.

Hundred and twenty million people sounds a bit to much for the western Roman empire
yea the area of modern day spain, portugal, france, italy had around 30 million
did he say western specifically because he could have meant the entire empire
scholars generally accept the entire population of the empire never exceeded 75 million. So the Western half probably had 30-40 million. 120 million is 100% impossible.
i'm pretty sure they meant the whole Roman empire. so from Hadrian's wall to North Africa and from Morocco to Irak.
and for all those territories 120 million sounds plausible.
@ChristiaanHW the world population at the time was around 180-200 million. China had 60-80 million at this time. So if Rome had 120 million then there would have to be almost nobody outside of Rome and China, which we know can't be true, seeing as India alone also had a very large population. Thus Rome couldn't have 120 million. Most academics say 75 million max.
My favourite part is when the germanic tribes said "it's migratin' time" and proceeded to migrate all over the roman empire
The Huns likely entered Western Asia shortly before 370, from Central Asia: they first conquered the Goths and the Alans, pushing a number of tribes to seek refuge within the Roman Empire. In the following years, the Huns conquered most of the Germanic and Scythian tribes outside of the borders of the Roman Empire.

"these germanic tribes shared many similiarities with the vikings as well." Am i missing something? "Vikings" are germanic already. Why did the video talk about vikings as if they werent germanic?
Right. I mean they literally came from the same place. It was the same people.
Fun fact: The largest diaspora of Germans today (people of Germanic descent living outside of Germany itself) is in the United States. It is the most prevalent ethnicity in the US, mostly due to the waves of German immigrants in the 19th century who settled in the Great Lakes area (think beer and pretzels) as well as the plains states. My grandparents grew up speaking German at home in rural Kansas, farming and raising livestock. Much of the middle and north of the country is still predominantly German ethnically (as well as Polish and Scandinavian), while English ancestry clusters mostly in the eastern third of the country, and Irish and Italian communities tended to remain predominantly in cities. There have been many other waves of immigrants too, obviously, such as Chinese, Jews, Russians (and Slavs in general), Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, Cubans, Filipinos, Southeast Asians, and on and on. It’s what made the USA such a vibrant nation culturally and economically.
Yeah. I found out last year that I have an American uncle and he came to visit us here in Germany last week. He doesn't speak German but his grandparents did.
They emigrated in the 1800's.
Back then people left en masse due to famine and the promise of freedom (they still had feudalism in Germany).
I also notice just how many Americans today still have German surnames, it's crazy.
The most prevalent ethnicity in the USA are actually people from the British isles ! That includes people who call themselves Americans !!
@@guleet75The English are also Germanic cousins…combining the other German speaking countries of Austria and Switzerland which has about 2 million descendants in the states gives Germans the majority even with combined British isles

I am only at half the video, love the subject, but get irked by the lack of knowledge and understanding. The Macromanic wars of Marcus Aurelius around the year 200 were not mentioned. Neither was mentioned the migration of the Goths south in the middle of the 3rd century, including invading the Balkan Peninsula, and eventually settling on the northern side of Danube river in what is now Romania and Ukraine. The Visigoths did not come into the Western Empire from Germany! They came through the Danube in what is now Bulgaria, killed a Roman Emperor in the battle of Adrianople in 378, had free reign in the Balkans and took them 32 years before they moved into Italy and sacked Rome. Also the push that started the domino effect were the Huns who attacked the Goths in Ukraine and moved Westward pushing Alans, Vandals, Goths, Franks, Suebi etc across the Danube and Rhine.
agreed. not listening to this channel again. I think some people make videos for money, regardless of if they have the knowledge to do so
Video full of mistakes.
Very amateur video full of inaccurate statements, a bit like a 4th grade oral class report
The description is extremely vague. Nothing is said about the eastern migration of the Goths, nothing about the kingdom of Oium on the territory of modern Ukraine. The path of migration is shown incorrectly.
What migration???.......the one described by Jordanes??? Those were a bunch of Goths on three ships and that was no migration.
The rest of Goths lived right there on Romanian territories and the most powerful of them named GREUTHUNGI have a most Romanian name. GREU means "heavy". GREU-THUNGI means "the heavy ones".
The territory was called OIUM, because whoever passed thru had to pay taxes called OIUM.
OIUM is derived from the word OI meaning "sheep" in Romanian. The word OIUM meaning "food for Oi (sheep).
Even today in Romania one has to pay OIUM 5% to a miller for milling wheat in to flower.
Huns and Goths were Romanian ancestors.
Germans didn't migrate anywhere. Those were Goths/Gete not Germans.

It's interesting to think how the Romans Latinized half of Europe, but when the Germans conquered the Roman Empire they simply melded into the Latinized lands (aside from Britain). On the other hand, when the Slavs conquered the other half of Europe nearly every area they took became Slavicized. The Slavs were never known as a powerful people, yet they still became more dominant.
It is funny how the slavs that took over ended up being orthodox just like the Eastern Romans. What a coincidence.....
Yes and almost ignored in this video 🤣 I was checking once, current population of Slavs vs other groups like Latin, Germanic in Europe and Slavs have highest number.
Wondering how that happend. Such a loosers but such huge fertility and adaptability success.
The Germanic tribes had a strong warlike culture, they were hierarchical and created many strong kingdoms. While the Slavs (even though they also waged wars) were not that centralized it seems. The strongest and most important early Slavic states were not created by Slavs, but by Bulgars and Rus for example, which melted into the Slavic ethnicity. They probably had a very inclusive culture, as Procopius stated that they lived in a 'democracy'. Also they were probably quite numerous and settled in lands devastated by wars and migrations, which gave them strong positions in those regions. Actually, the Slavs that settled in the Byzantine Empire, were under a heavy threat of hellenization, however they managed to create their own Slavic culture - the Cyrillic alphabet, the Slavic liturgical language, etc. and survive even in those areas.

The Huns never reached Scandinavia and thus not caused the Jutes and Angles to go to England. But the Danes, originally inhibiting the Danish Isles and Scania at the same time emerged in Jutland. If they just filled up a vacuum or repressed Jutes and Angles is difficult to say, probably a combination, but I think first of all people crossed the North Sea because they could. Shipbuilding and seafaring techologies accellerated in these centuries and would a few centuries later culminate in the Viking age.

Sort of, Vikings were gently Norse Germanic. Tribes that remained in the North while the Germanic invaders were 400 years earlier.

correct , however the word Viking was not only used as "going Viking! it was also used for people although many think it wasn't we have Rune stones in Scandinavia where the locals complains about other Vikings (Vikingr/Vikingar in old Norse) and one Rune stone who reads "he was a great Viking" , anyway the Germanic people spread from Scandinavia
Exactly my thougt. Vikings were part of the northern Germanic culture group. The term "Viking" was used since the looting of the english Lindisfarne monastery in 793 AD. Before it was called "Vendel culture". The term "Germanic" was used until the different tribes were christianizated. That happened in Iceland in the Middle Ages around 1000 AD. The Saxons for example were christianizated by the sword around 800 AD. The first Franconian king who was baptized was Chlodwig in 498 AD. A turning point in european history... Also the number of 120 million inhabitants of the Roman Empire is to much. Should be around 80 million more or less. That is roughly around the third of the complete world population in these times!

The Goths had already come from Sweden to Romania when the Huns arrived, not yet islamized Turks coming from the Kaspian sea. The huns were horsemen from eastern steps with a very different military equipment based primarily on cavalry and mounted archers with special reflex bows offering a more powerful shot, and this from horseback using the moment when in galllop all 4 hooves are in the air for a more precise shot.. This forced the Goths to escape to south-west or to become "Varangian guards" for the Byzantines.

Not Germany but Germania. Slight difference.
What is "a drop in climate"? I think you need to be a little more precise in your use of language.
1. It was mainly because of the climate change, weather became colder and colder, therefore, it was harder and harder to agriculture.
2. Almost at the same time, the Chinese empire in the east also suffered the same situation, including the Huns.
3. The Huns was also forced to move to the south, when they encountered Chinese, some started to move west. It was not because the Huns was stronger to beat the German, it was simply because they had large amount of cavalry, and the German were almost infantry.
I agree on the temperature thing as a root cause of migrations there at about 500AD. A great amount of data pretty well proves a large temp drop.
Gonna have to bust this video for playing fast and loose with the facts 🤨. You need to do more research or consult a professional Roman historian, perhaps.

This video kind of glosses over the gothic kingdom in modern Ukraine and similar regions. Also the other east-germanic tribes like the vandals that were nearby.

I've always wanted to know more about that old gothic kingdom, it's not very well sourced though.

The Amazinhg ("berbers") would like a word with you lol
Germans acting like barbarians until WW2, and you take offense??😅😅😅 Yeahhhh, you're so misunderstood. Pity the poor germans. 🤣🌈🤡
2:13 The Danes must love this map.
PROUD TO BE A BARBARIAN
Me too
Oh Sh*t
Yeah, that is why i wanna be like conan.
A Spanish philosopher, Ortega y Gasset said that the fascination with culture and all things culture is a barbarian trait.
When there is nothing else left to be proud of, I guess….
The Huns came from the western Eurasian steppes around the Aral Sea not Mongolia
Pressure of Oghuric tribes who were led by Hun Kama Tarkhan that's why
Aryans who migrated to Asia Mahabharata and Sri Lanka and Eastern Asia up to Japan
Poorly made video
¿?
Germanic tribes, migrated west from Eastern Europe through Dacia, today Romania, not from what is today Germany!
Heard about the 'Huns Theory,' in University. The notion of that time was there might have been a "cold spell" in what is now Mongolia or what is now Southern Siberia, for several decades or generations. So people were fleeing the cold?
maybe ok for a very simplified summary. but sadly full of errors and missing important information
In year 375 the huns crossed don river and attacked the Ostrogoths and this is how the domino effect started
The region that the Romans called Germania is the region of Central and Northern Europe, which is the north of the Roman country.
The tribes living in the Germania region at that time were the Turks, the westernmost Sak (Scythian) tribes, and they had been living in this region for centuries.
Many Turkish tribes lived in Germany, who could not unite among themselves. The most important of these were:
1. This name, which is mentioned as Alamanni in Roman sources, has been transformed from the Old Turkish word ala, which means mixed color ALAMAN.

6. This name, which is mentioned as Buri in Roman sources, has been transformed from the Old Turkish word BÜR, which means buran, buren, büzen. (Shirring)
7. This name, which is mentioned as Chaedini in Roman sources, has been transformed from the Old Turkish word KADING, which means beech, hard and beech tree.
8. This name, which is mentioned as Cherusci in Roman sources, has been transformed from the Old Turkish word KERİŞÇİ, which means quarrelsome, warrior.
9. This name, which is mentioned as Dani in Roman sources, has been transformed from the Old Turkish word TAN (skin), meaning long, wide and trunk.
10. This name, which is mentioned as Franci in Roman sources, has been transformed from the Old Turkish word BURANG, which means gust / storm.
11. This name, which is mentioned as Frisi in Roman sources, has been transformed from the word BIRİŞ, which means compound in Old Turkish.
12. This name, which is mentioned as Gepidae in Roman sources, has been transformed from the Old Turkish word KEPİT, which means large, bulging, large.
13. This name, which is mentioned as Rugi in Roman sources, has been transformed from the Old Turkish word URUG, which means ancestry, seed.
14. This name, which is mentioned as Suione in Roman sources, has been transformed from the Old Turkish word SUYAN, which means throwing, throwing, flowing.

The only one who defeated the huns: aetius
some saw the big city down south, and thought, why not be warm.
How did these genetic tribes become posh like European royals
White excellence
With time everything is possible
May be the real barbarischen sind roman empire.....
Remember kids. All of this was Quintilius Varus' fault...
It's safe to say Turks are responsible for the fall of both Western and Eastern Rome in a thousand years apart. Mehmet II finished what Atilla started.
How Western Roman Empire?
@@manjushagongale Huns are one of the oldest known ancestors of Turkic people. They split into Western Huns and Eastern Huns in Europe and Asia. Atilla led the western branch.
One anecdote about the vagueness of the term Germania: One of the south-easternmost pre-migration tribal confederation were the Bastarnae & while this map cuts off Germania in Silesia, the Bastarnae lived all the way in current-day Moldova. Post-migration you would still have Germanic tribes in areas like Crimea (the Crimean Goths) for centuries. The use of a green map shade with a strict border is to be regarded as suboptimal as it implies strict cutting-off of an area, though I get it why in mapping people tend to do it.
I hate it when the fall of the Western Roman Empire is described as the end of the Roman Empire. The empire survived for 1000 years longer in the East.
The Eastern Roman Empire was a spiritual successor to the West. While there was a shared history, it was significantly more Greekified than Latinized.
@@Rildar Yeah but it was still the roman empire
I hope the Germans are not offended that we called them Barbarians. They should be proud of their origins:)
third
Stop calling it the "common era"
I drew issue with that, too. The obvious counter to people saying that is "What does the year 0 CE mean?"
Stop crying
@@Onlinerando nobody asked you for your opinion pablo
Mixed with the Germans were some Iranian speaking tribes called Alans that for a few years even had a kingdom in hispania. The most obvious trace of them remaining are the Alano (Alaunt, Alao) dogs that the brought to Spain-Portugral and southern France.
Absolutely fascinating! Thanks for making this video
funny how that's pretty much matching today's holiday choices of se Germans

The Huns were a people, not a race.
Im pretty sure rome at its absolute peak was 75 million people comparable to the Chinese dynasty at that time.
"Why do we call the whole world's attention to the fact that we have no past? It isn't enough that the Romans were erecting great buildings when our forefathers were still living in mud huts; now Himmler is starting to dig up these villages of mud huts ... All we prove by that is that we were still throwing stone hatchets and crouching around open fires when Greece and Rome had already reached the highest stage of culture. We really should do our best to keep quiet about this past. Instead Himmler is making a great fuss about it all. The present-day Romans must be having a laugh at these revelations" (Speer, 141).

Ah yes gotta have propaganda not that it is used ever after the Nazis were defeated eh
the Adriatic Sea was dominated by the Albanians ( illyrians) before Rome became an empire through the lembi and liburna ships..without forgetting that the Macedonians were also vassals of the Illyrians until Philip (Alexander Father) managed to gain independence in the period of King Bardhyl

History repeats itself as we speak, and our leaders know it
They use these events from 1500 years ago to justify ethnically cleansing Europe with hordes of 60 IQs
120 million, with 50 % (!!!) slaves, that's 60 million slaves in the Empire. Seems a lot to me...
What forced huns to migrate west? The sheer will of conquest or they were forced out from their home territory?
Blame the ancient Chinese for the Huns travelling west.
Steppe tribes usually migrate when they're being displaced from their land by another tribal confederation or when their steppe neighbours are weak and easy to conquer. The Alans on the Ponto-Caspian steppe were weaker than the Huns and were ripe for conquest
They were forced to move go the west by the Ancient Chinese during Han Dynasty that defeated the Huns back in late BC times and made them moved the West centuries later
Doesn't make sense I thought huns r not xiognu lmao. And why would huns move west if Chinese stayed in China for next century and huns were in central Asia. They kept on moving to west all the way to France despite conquering everyone around them
Anno Domini , God sees and hears all 😘
