Italy has one of the richest history in the world. From the teramare people, Etruscan kingdom, Roman Empire, Papal State, Renaissance and more. I don't think there is another region that has influenced the western world so much and for so long as the Italian peninsula. The history and culture is just immense.

I agree with the amazing scope of the peninsula's effect on western culture- it's very hard to keep that in mind, since the last couple hundred years Italy'a influence is pretty much gone outside of luxury brands.

After years of waiting it's finally here. thank you very much fire of learning! Edit: Although Italy is a young nation, the Italian peninsula and it's people has been at the center of European history for thousands of years.
I find it interesting how the first and final ruler of Rome had the name Romulus. Likewise with eastern Rome being founded by Constantine and having its final emperor also called Constantine.

@fireoflearning when do you think you’ll have part 2? This was amazing!
Hey man! When could we expect the second part of the Italy documentary? I'm reading a book about Cola di Rienzo and his try to restore the former glory of Rome, and would love to have some historical background about it, as well as to find out more about the small Italian kingdoms, Venice, Genoa and others. Cheers, great documentary, loved it!
History of Brazil, Japan or India please. These videos are works of art! Genuinely the best history videos you’ll find anywhere
I've commented this before, but I'm going to do it again: If any of my history teachers/professors had been half as good as you in presenting material, I would have learned a whole lot more!

I love your documentaries so much, my personal favorite history channel. Glad its back!
This dude does better history content than the History Channel
I’ve been waiting for your next addition to the your “history of” series. I almost thought you were done with the long 1 hour format videos. This honestly made my day 😌
Italy is my favourite country I’ve been lucky enough to visit, you just feel like you’re walking through history wherever you are and the people are amazing
Impatiently waiting for the second part!!! Thank you so much for these videos. I am revising history and find your videos a better alternative to textbooks. These videos are very helpful in case you don't know from what period to start the revision. Bravo!
I love this video series. You do such an amazing job! Thank you
Your documentaries on Nations & Peoples as well as Space & Sciences are my favorite of your content. I hope you will make them more frequently. Mexico, Mayans, Portugal, Poland, Russia, Greece, Egypt, Mali, India, China, Japan, Korea, Thailand, Cambodia, Myanmar, Peru etc. You can do so much as I’m sure you know. I’m just exited that your doing these Nations & Peoples docs again.

@@pyropulseIXXI Lol what? The Germanic tribes didn't count anything evem for the history of country like Germany. The only relevant Germanic tribe were the Franks and they started to be relevant knly when they got romanized in every aspect. What the Franks did was collecting the ledacy of the Romans and this brought Europe to the dark age. Then, after many years, Europe went over Renaissance, the age of discovery, the scientific revolution, etc. All those three phases started with Italy at the center of the European history. The Renaissance is an Italian thing, the age of discovery was promoted by Marco Polo experience, and Italian cartographers and started when two Italians discovered the new world. The scientific revolution was a consequence of the Humanism, birth in Italy, and was boosted by Galileo Galilei, again an Italian. Who brought the Arab numbers in Europe was again an Italian, Fibonacci. The greatest artists, scientists, explorers, cartographers, writers, where all Italians. Who do you think invented the modern music? The Italians with Opera, Piano Forte, and Violin. All the western world history is based on the history of Italy

Man, why did it take me so long to realise you didn't make a documentary on Italy yet? Great video so far though but tbf I'm just starting it so yeah. Also would be really nice if you could do more documentaries on smaller more underrated states and peoples. Be it Bulgaria, Romania etc. Would be really nice to spread more of the unknown countries' stories out there.
BASED! Glad to see you crank these out. Love them .

man, I bet it feels great to be an Italian. Rich history
I’ve been waiting patiently for the next nation video, at long last it’s finally here
I beg you to make a video on the history of the Catholic Church. It’d be fantastic
I was afraid you gave up on this series. Please continue, I love it!
fun fact we in the UK have a type of cookie called Garibaldi biscuits named for the famed Italian general which are two crackers stuffed raisins these biscuits are very tasty.
It's been 2 years since you made a history of a nation but it was worth the wait.
This entire series is great.

This was very helpful, thanks!
Very interesting and entertaining. The mention of my Dad's hometown (Gaeta) as one of the towns which somewhat defied the German emporors explains the culture there a bit. To this day, they kind of do their own thing in Gaeta.
This is awesome! So glad to see the return of Nations and Peoples!
I missed this series!
For the first time I've stopped to think about just how abridged this form of history is. It glosses over so much, but at the same time this video is only an hour
Very captivating video, I would love to see the history of Poland here one day
Finally!!! I found your video when I watched your byzantine history video, and I was wishing for you to make a video about another Mediterranean country/region
Back with a classic!!
so nice to see another one of these videos, thought you might have abadoned these.

I'm so happy to see another history of nation and peoples documentary 😭
One of the countries I recommend doing the history of is Hungary. A lot of interesting things concerning the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the invasion of the Ottoman empire.
