@@chescatfalgui3217 thats not true, dalmatia is just the southern part of croatia and it isnt accurate to describe it as the entirety of croatia
735- The Venerable Bede died in Northumbria. He was one of the earliest historians of post-Roman England so hence the "Father of English History" moniker.

@@charliekahn4205 no he didn't. he invented a 1-letter-1-sound pronunciation for Latin, probably pretty close to the Classical Latin we learn today. Before his reform you just spoke Latin as whatever Romance language you spoke natively. Several hundred years of sound changes made Ecclesiastical Latin what it is today.
6:40 668 - I ended 3 conversations in Korea = The end of the 3 Kingdoms period of Korea. He set up a general shelter leading North = Probably something to do with Goguryeo people fleeing North after the Tang-Silla invasion. 698 - South Korea has begun = A terrible mistranslation for the establishment of Balhae which ironically, was in the North. 27:07 1443 - Koreans get letters biting their lips = The Korean alphabet was invented by King Sejong the Great.
Bromax the Third is clearly HE
He be like: I am inevitable.
King Ginsrich might mean Geiserich, a Vandal tribal king, who conquered the roman province of carthage and there he etablished the Vandal Kingdom?
As a D&D nerd, I can confirm that archaically, a missile can refer to pretty much any offensive projectile, not just what we usually mean by "missile" in a modern context. So you can see how they'd get "Turkey besieging missiles" from something like "Turkish siege cannons." Edit: it was probably "Ottoman," and without looking at the context the translator assumed it was a noun, so it ended up as "Turkey" A stranger translation of what I assume is "cannons" is the later mention of "nuclear missiles."
It's so fun to try to figure out what the original event was - a crazy form of historical Telephone, 😂 Thanks to everyone for your input. Sometimes I figure it out, sometimes I put it together with the discussion, but sometimes there's nothing to do but laugh!
16:44 could be about Minamoto Yorimoto, who became the first Japanese shogun in 1192 (a system that lasted almost 700 years).
You deserve all the success you now have, Mr. Terry. Your videos are always entertaining ^^
13:23 That would be the University of Bologna.
I love how Europa Universalis Music starts playing as the Ottomans gets mentioned first. I mean for real.
15:41 probably was a Mississippian village who traded Cahokia.
my weakest time period would probably be the 14th-15th century
Gotta love StarvHarv
I've heard Heinie as a given name, which is also slang for butt, but given the time period it was probably originally Heinrich before a couple mistranslations. I think "Barry and southern Italy" is supposed to be Bavaria and southern italy.
the umayyads did establish a caliphate in cordoba, around the 10th century, to spite the abbassid caliphate, which did dethrone the last umayyad caliph Marwan II (and also did massacre his family). the first emir of cordoba was Abd al-Rahman "Saqr al Quraysh". the first caliph of cordoba was Abd al-Rahman III and the last caliph was Hisham III, after which the umayyads where overthrown in spain and the taifa period began.
I've actually been to the Corinth canal when I went to Greece for the first time this year during early summer. We were on a road trio for two weeks were we started from Dubrovnik then we drove all the way down to Greece threw Montenegro and Albania and back to Dubrovnik threw North Macedonia, Albania, Montenegro. We were in Greece for a week and we spent most of our time there close to the Corinth canal at one of our relative's summer home, the canal was really deep and impressive, but my dad didn't really enjoy going over the bridges that went over the canal. During our time in Greece we also went to Athens, mount Olympus, Argolida (and the fortress of Palamidi) and Acrocorinth.
24:49 is Venice owning Dalmatia (coastal region of the Balkans) until the Venetian republic ceased to exist in 1797 after the Austria annexed the republic.
12:40 is likely the "Gang nach Canossa". The pope had excommunicated the emporer because the emporer wanted to appoint bishops himself which the pope didn't want. Being excommunicated meant that the emporer could lose his throne so he want to Canossa so the pope would take him back into the church. He allegedly had to wait barefoot in the snow for multiple days before the pope let him in. 14:36 could be the Hoftag/Reichstag at Worms. Though it was held in the year before so it's probably something else.
18:37 John freedoms worst nightmare
1:45 no the maya were very firmly stuck in Yucatán and Guatemala. Some nahua peoples were down there as well as the Miskito and a couple other native civilizations
Yes, all 101 Dalmatians came from Dalmatia and so did my father's parents way back when it was still part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
2:28 I think here is meant to say "Austria" due to how similar it sounds to Australia.
I believe they were talking about the Cluny Abbey in France, which had one of the largest basilicas in the world until St Peters
Butt August is probably Augustine who talks of the falling of Rome in the City of God
congrats on 400k🗣🗣🗣🗣👏👏👏👏
no one's talking about the nation known as The Super, where He established a mosque.
13:00 University of Bologna is usually considered to be the "oldest university" as it was founded as a University in 1088 A.D. (universitas magistrorum et scholarium means "community of teachers and scholars") The ones in Parma and Pavia actually predate Bologna being founded respectively in 962 A.D. and Pavia in 825 A.D. but as "Schola" of Law and these institutions finally changed denomination into Universities respectively "only" in 1412 A.D. and 1361 A.D. In a similar way Oxford was founded as "Schola" in 1096 A.D.(more than a century after Parma and more than 2 centuries after Pavia, and almost a decade after Bologna was already university) and became university in 1231 A.D. as claimed on their own "merchandise". So Also the University of Padua (1222 AD) and University of Naples "Federico II" (1224 AD) predate that and were universities since their start and operated continuously to this day. Modena (1175 AD) and Reggio Emilia(1188 AD) were refounded a few times and merged in one. while the medical school of Salerno was started in 806 AD and operated for more than a millennium being shut down in 1811 AD 16:20 Emperor Henry 6th married Costanza d'Altavilla (or 1st of Sicily) these are the parents of Federick II of Hohenstaufen
15:35 Can't have s██t in Detroit!
21:52 I believe this is referring to the University of Erfurt, but the actual university was founded in 1379, 32 years after the date mentioned, 1347.

Nice reaction again I saw the vid and after watching this came visiting here.
There was a leader Genseric I think, might be where it’s from
There may actually be some basis for the Thai Empire reference at 960 AD . . . The northern kingdom of Lavo suffered civil war at around this time (a disputed claim to the crown). This allowed the Khmer king Suryarman II to invade, and install his own son as the king of Lavo (these days known as Lopburi). The timing may not be exact, but it's pretty close.

Mr. Terry, the capital of the Aztec Empire was Tenochtitlan. Teotihuacan is other city, so old that for the time of the Aztecs, the city had been abandoned long time ago.
I saw the canal whilst on a tour on Ancient Greek sites
11:10 As far as Viking colonization goes, it’s debatable as it would require that Scandinavia have a much larger population with a lot more interest in territorial and economic expansion that far away. Most raiders and traders would have been more interested in traveling to known locations in Europe, so we would have to change their entire mindset. Also, it’s not certain how they would handle the more Southern climates if they expanded North to South. Though the other interesting bit to think about, is what effects this could have on Europe as a whole (depending on when the Vikings switch to venturing through North America and if they actually bother telling the rest of Europe about their explorations this time).
I had no idea there was a canal through the isthmus of Corinth of any size. Neat.
12:47 this is actually pretty close to what really happened. it really was this weird irl
I have an unrelated question that I haven't been able to get an answer to. So in the Revolutionary War, France allied with the U.S. and then we received the Statue of Liberty from them. I heard somewhere that it was a gift to us for helping THEM in the war, but how could that be the case if the colonies were the ones that gained independence from Britain?
HE is a citizen of Lithuania, Bulgaria, the Ottoman Empire by way of Spain, and apparently is also Sri Lankan

21:55 it's most likely about the the Ruprecht Karl University of Heidelberg, the oldest university in Germany, founded around this time in 1386.

Wow, looking over the actual wikipedia timeline article alongside this video shows how badly the thing has been massacred. Original: 618-907 Tang Dynasty in China. Mauled Translation: 618 The threat.
That whole “weak period” was basically just Eleanor of Aquatane wasn’t it? And something about the Charlemagne empire collapsing over really stupid inheritance laws. Which eventually culminated into World War One due to how the collapse had divided up the empire. It’s fascinating to trace, actually, because the same lineages were starting feuds with each other over seven hundred years.
HE, is back!😊
Wasn’t there a Caliphate in Cordoba?
So my first thought about 'what would be different if Vikings colonized the Americas?' had to do with a vague recollection that the Vikings/Nords were viewed as un-Christian by other European peoples because of how fastidious they were about bathing and maintaining their hair and beards. After that, I thought about it some more and realized - wasn't the issue with colonization and disease among the natives connected to Europeans having developed immunity through exposure since they had domesticated animals and American natives didn't? Edit: No, I'm not forgetting about the violence and murder committed by colonials. I'm just addressing the disease aspect since I'm not well-versed in Viking/Nord tradition insofar as how they treated people outside their cultural 'circle'.

11:00 If you were to compare the invasions of the Skandinavian Vikings onto the British Isles with a hypothetical colonisation of the American continent through Vikings, combined with the origins of Normandy ... There would be much more cultural blending instead of segregation and eradication.

Well, ironically enough, Justinian did more damage to the italian lands during his campains than the defending Vandals did. So even if he retook the italian lands, he would have ruled over a self inflicted pile of rubble. I'd personally say that western rome has not really fallen by this point, they where just under new Vandalic ownership with standart and lifestyle of living being pretty much the same for the common roman citizen under the Vandals than before they usurped the titel; the real fall came when Justinian tried to conquer that place, ravaging italy in the process.
StarvHarv posted a video about Wikipedia translations.
Yep, you heard it here first, folks, the Byzantine Empire fell because of a joint.
Interesting comment regarding the people that actually repelled the mongols!
Did you teach at SDA? My history teach was just as amazing as you
The Vikings weren't big on the concept of exclusive land rights, so at the very least there probably would have been less of a drive to push the indigenous peoples out.
since pommeranians come from pommerania i assume dalmatians come from dalmatia. just a guess though
Dalmatian dog breed originated in Croatia
