• The Celtic and Anglo-Saxon borders of the early Middle Ages (c. 400-800) are conjectural and rely partially on the borders of English counties, which were established later • There appears to be some dispute as to whether Sir Herbert was made Earl of Pembroke in 1521, or 1551 • The title of 'Prince of Wales' was usually held by the king of England's heir after 1284, not by the king himself, though in practice it was simply an extension of his power • Kilbarth/Scolton, Lamphey, and Warren were part of Dewisland, not Camrose/Haverford, as is erroneously shown in the video (we figured this out after the slides had been made). • Research notes and sources for this project: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1shBF-JinRwWTMqOA62sXggvSUv_ZYAf57iBStlScH7o/edit#gid=472119219

Instead, each frontier was shown as part of the corresponding crownland. 3) The areas shown as under the control of the Goryani in Bulgaria (1940s-1950s) were actually areas of operation. Too little is known about them to show their area of control due to the Bulgarian regime's suppression of information about them.

*Notes regarding the urban area and population*
1) The definition of what counts as ‘New York City’ (both its population and area) is highly subjective. This is mainly due to sprawling, low-density suburbs typical of North American cities, as well as the varying official definitions (e.g. the Five Boroughs, the Metropolitan Statistical Area, etc.) I’ve tried to portray the city’s size in a reasonable way, but it’s by no means the only way. Other maps and statistics may vary significantly from what this video shows for this reason.
2) In the post-war era, NYC’s urban area has extended along New Jersey and Long Island beyond what is shown in the map. These are outside the map because showing them would force it to zoom to an impractically large area. These areas are still included in the population statistics where applicable, as explained in note 4.
3) The “rural area” in this video mostly consists of low-density suburbs after about 1970. They do not constitute contiguous built up areas, but rather areas of sporadic building. For this reason, they cannot be shown as urban. These areas are still included in the population statistics where applicable, as explained in note 4.
4) Post-war population figures are based on the New York–Newark–Jersey City Statistical Area. About 20% of this population lives in urban areas outside of the map, mentioned in note 2. A very approximate 5% also live in the low-density suburbs mentioned in note 3. Therefore the urban area shown in this video only contains about 75% of the population included in the 2021 population figure of 18.9m.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music: Bonnie Grace - Walk With Legends Bonnie Grace - First ShooterThe Thirty Years War: Every Day (Pt 1)Ollie Bye2019-10-11 | By the turn of the 17th Century, widespread resentment existed between the majority Protestant population of Bohemia, and its Catholic Habsburg rulers residing in Austria. Tensions boiled over in 1618, when several Catholic ministers from Vienna were thrown from the palace windows in Prague. A symbolic display of defiance, these events quickly descended into a full-blown revolt in Bohemia.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music: Bonnie Grace - Walk With Legends Bonnie Grace - First ShooterThe History of the Caribbean: Every YearOllie Bye2019-09-16 | The history of the Caribbean begins with the migration of several groups from the mainland Americas around 7000 years ago. These groups were almost wiped out shortly after the arrival of Europeans in 1492 transmitted Old World diseases to the region. Several of the Americas' oldest cities were founded in the Caribbean throughout the 16th Century as the Spanish Empire conquered many of the larger islands.
Other European states, notably England, France, and the Netherlands, colonised the Caribbean in the 17th Century. Despite the constant threat of piracy, these small colonies thrived into the 18th Century. By 1800, many of Europe's wealthiest colonies were located in the Caribbean, supplying luxury goods such as sugar back to the Old World.
With the abolition of slavery in the 19th century, plantations became less economically viable, and the region as whole lost importance. The 20th Century was marked by several American interventions in the Caribbean, as well the the independence of most European colonies.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music: Gunnar Johnsén - The Surface 4The History of BurmaOllie Bye2019-03-11 | The history of Burma begins with several city-states inhabited by the Pyu People along the Irrawaddy River from c. 200 BCE. During the 11th Century, they were united under the Kingdom of Pagan, laying the foundations of the Burmese state. Burdended by tax-exempt Buddhist monastaries in the 13th Century, Pagan became easy prey for Mongol armies, who destroyed the kingdom in 1297.
Several weaker states followed over the coming centuries, such as Myinsaing, Pinya and Ava. Burma was again revaged in the early 16th Century by Shan peoples to the north, cultimating in the destruction of Ava in 1527. From the ruins, a new Toungoo Dynasty emerged and began to dominate South East Asia for the next two centuries.
Political turmoil in the 18th Century lead to the rise of the Konbaung Dynasty, which ruled all of Burma until it was conquered by the British Empire through three wars between 1824-85. Occupied by Japan during the Second World War, Burma gained independence in 1948, experimenting with various forms of government since.

Syria's stretched security forces failed to crack down on the unrest, allowing it to morph into a full civil war in the first months of 2012.
Damascus quickly became a hotbed of insurgent activity, for both moderate rebels and Islamist groups.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music: Gavin Luke - Critical Thinking 3The History of WessexOllie Bye2018-11-30 | Around 495 CE, a Saxon chieftain named Cerdic arrived in Britain, and by 519 CE had established the Kingdom of the West Saxons (Wessex). During the 6th Century, his successors continued to expand against local Celtic kingdoms.
By the 7th Century, the now Christian kingdom was competing with another Anglo-Saxon Kingdom, Mercia, for supremacy. This continued during the 8th Century, as the kingdom fell under Mercian lordship several times.
Weakened by Dane raids in the 9th Century, Mercia lost supremacy to Wessex. The kingdom lead the defense of Britain as the last independent Anglo-Saxon Kingdom, under King Alfred the Great. From 902 CE, Alfred's son, Edward the Elder, would reconquer all Dane territory in Britain except York, which finally fell in 927 CE to Edward's son, Æthelstan, who became king of the English the same year.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music: Andreas Ericson - Medieval Myths 16The History of VietnamOllie Bye2018-10-28 | Vietnam is one of Southeast Asia's oldest civilisations. From 300 BCE, various dynasties ruled over the north, which was often subject to Chinese rule, whilst several Champa states existed in the south.
The final long period of Chinese rule was shaken off in the 10th Century, allowing the northern dynasties to expand south into the Champa domain. The country's unity broke down in 1527 when the Mac Dynasty overthrew the Le Dynasty. The Nguyen and Trinh lords resisted the Mac takeover, and gradually destroyed the Mac Dynasty, leaving them in control.
A brief period of unity followed when a peasant revolt began in the 1770s, although the Nguyen lords were able to eventually put it down and rule a united Vietnam. This ended in 1885, when a protectorate was established by France over the entire country.
After independence in the 1950s, two new states emerged - North Vietnam and South Vietnam. The two fought a war involving many world powers, with the Socialist North eventually conquering the South.

By 1554, the dynasty had toppled the Fes-based Wattasid Dynasty, reunited the country and warded off the Portuguese and Spanish. In 1591, it famously conquered the Songhay capital of Gao, giving it an empire stretching across the Sahara.
In 1603, a succession war began that quickly brought it to ruin. It never recovered, and fell to the Alaouite Dynasty later in the century.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music: Magnus Ringblom - Arabian Nights 7The History of GeorgiaOllie Bye2018-09-24 | During Antiquity, the area of Georgia was split amongst small kingdoms. These kingdoms united to form the Kingdom of Georgia in 1008. The new kingdom quickly began to flourish, and started expanding against its neighbours
By the end of the 12th Century, it had reached a golden age. However, it was devastated by Mongol and Timurid invasions during the following two centuries, and never fully recovered. The weakened kingdom collapsed in the 1460s, and spent much of the rest of its history in this shattered state.
The area was conquered by Imperial Russia during the first half of the 19th Century, and thereafter became a Soviet Republic in 1921. The country finally regained independence in 1991.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music: Andreas Ericson - Medieval Myths 3The English Civil War: Every DayOllie Bye2018-09-02 | The English Civil War was a conflict between supporters of Charles I, the Royalists, and supporters of the English Parliament, the Parliamentarians.
Tensions had existed between the two institutions throughout Charles' reign, chiefly over political and religious differences. By 1640, Parliament had been suspended and recalled by Charles a number of times.
The conflict quickly escalted in January, 1642, when Charles left London for the safer North. During the course of that year, English cities quietly built up loyalties to either Charles or the Parliament.
On 22nd August, the King finally raised his standard at Nottingham, declaring war on Parliament.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music: Johan Hynynen - Battle Johan Hynynen - At The Front Johan Hynynen - At The GatesThe Vedic Period of IndiaOllie Bye2018-08-18 | Around 1500 BCE, an Indo-European people, the Arya, reached the western reaches of India and began migrating into the region.
They mixed with local peoples to form a 'Vedic Culture'. This culture would gradually spread across northern India over the next millenium in the form of tribes, which would later develop into more complex kingdoms and republics.
It was in this period that basic tribal beliefs and practices flourished into the Hindu Religion, with the composition of sacred texts, such as the Vedas, Puranas, Mahabharata, and Ramayana.
The period came to an end following a centuries-long conquest by the Kingdom of Magadha, which united most of the major states by 330 BCE.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music: Merlean - Adventures in India Merlean - Adventures in India 2 Merlean - Adventures in India 3The History of EthiopiaOllie Bye2018-08-02 | What is now Ethiopia emerged from obscurity in the 10th Century BCE, in the form of the Kingdom of D'mt. This was followed by Aksum around 100 CE, which went on to forge an empire stretching from Nubia to Arabia.
Following the collapse of Aksum, Ethiopia was split into many small states, chief among them the Zagwe Dynasty. This dynasty flourished until 1270, when it was overthrown by the Solomonic Dynasty, which went on to unite almost all of Ethiopia in the 14th Century under king Amda Seyon I. From the 15th century onwards it declined under constant pressure from various Somali sultanates to the east, before fracturing into several lordships in the 18th Century.
Finally in 1852, Tewodros II began to reunite the country. Ethiopia began expanding outwards thereafter, giving it the necessary strength to ward of the Italian Empire in 1896. The 20th Century was comparatively worse; following Italian occupation in 1936-41, the country faced famine, uprisings and revolution in the coming decades. Ethiopia has somewhat recovered since, having liberalised its economy and government in the 1990s. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Support me on Patreon: patreon.com/user?u=4740833 Follow me on DeviantArt: http://olliebye.deviantart.com

It was initially said to have been ruled by 'Kings who lived in tents' until c. 2000 BCE, followed by 'Kings who were ancestors' and 'Kings whoose eponyms are destroyed' until 1906 BCE. Thereafter it entered the Old Assyrian Period until 1806 BCE, when the region was finally united under Shamshi-Adad, founding an empire to last for over 1000 years.
