Why is Russia hiring Syrian Mercenaries to Fight in Ukraine? History With Hilbert 2022-03-15 | Following a week of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the Ukrainian government announced the creation of the 'Ukrainian Foreign Legion' and invited volunteers with military experience from around the world to come to Ukraine to fight against the Russians. Last week, the Russian government's press secretary announced that Russia would be employing the services of Syrian mercenaries from Bashar Al-Assad's army to join the fighting in Ukraine.

Fresh from the Wars of Italian Unification, many officers came to the USA to fight for the North, who unsuccessfully wooed Garibaldi to take command several times. These men would raise regiments in places like New York, recruit recent Italian immigrants as well as others to fight for them.

What Did Canada Do in the American Civil War? History With Hilbert 2024-09-28 | During the American Civil War, people of different nations flocked to both sides to see action before war's end. Canada played an important role in the American Civil War, anywhere from 33,000-55,000 Canadians fought for the Union, with several hundreds fighting for the Confederacy. Still ruled by the British, Canada had several fears of Northern Invasion during the war, their militia often being called up for suspected attack. Others in Canada were pro-Confederacy, helping to run Union blockades to supply weapons and money to the South.

Who are the Forgotten Vikings? - Interview with Author Alex Harvey History With Hilbert 2024-09-21 | Order "Forgotten Vikings" today:amberley-books.com/discover-books/forgotten-vikings.htmlThe Viking Age, often dated 793-1066, is often portrayed in familiar ways in the history books. Small raids on island monasteries lead to bigger armies, expansion across the North Atlantic followed by Christianisation and Hastings tying it off with a nice bow. But now, a new book takes a fresh look at this period, avoiding the stereotypes and the much trodden ground, and instead looks at the forgotten Vikings, the overlooked corners of the Viking Age. As Amberley describes it:'Forgotten Vikings provides a chronological overview of the Viking Age (793–1066) and quite a lot of history either side of these arbitrary dates. Arbitrary? This book aims to explore the phenomenon of ‘the Vikings’ from new angles, forged out of recent academic breakthroughs largely unexplored in popular history books; the Viking Age viewed as a longer, discrete period from the sixth to the fifteenth centuries.Focusing on lesser-known aspects of the period, Alex Harvey taps into more obscure regions of the world these people visited, more obscure characters, and more obscure cultural elements. Examples include the evidence for viking activity on the Azores and Madeira, thirteenth-century Baltic raids, and the presence of viking armies in the Netherlands long before they became a threat to England.Offering unfamiliar perspectives, Forgotten Vikings will change the way you see these often misunderstood people, and unearth a forgotten history.'Raid the Merch Market:teespring.com/en-GB/stores/history-with-hilberts-marketGo Fund My Windmills (Patreon):patreon.com/HistorywithHilbertJoin in the Banter on Twitter:twitter.com/HistorywHilbertEnter the Fray on Facebook:facebook.com/HistorywHilbertIndulge in some Instagram..?(the alliteration needs to stop):instagram.com/historywithhilbertSend me an email if you'd be interested in doing a collaboration! historywithhilbert@gmail.com#Viking #History #interestingfacts

What was the Pagan Frisian Religion in the Early Middle Ages? | Archaeological Evidence History With Hilbert 2024-09-07 | The Frisians were a Germanic-speaking people living in the coastal area of the Netherlands and Germany. Before the conversion to Christianity, a long process beginning after the Frankish Conquest of Frisia, the Frisians worshipped a series of gods, likely closely related to the Norse gods known from Icelandic Mythology like Odin, Thor, Frey and others. In this lecture, I talk about what archaeological remains pertain to the paganism or heathenism in Frisia, their cemeteries and burial practices, relations to the Norse and Anglo-Saxon worlds.

What did Germans do in the American Civil War? History With Hilbert 2024-08-24 | The American Civil War split the United States in two, heralding four years of vicious conflict between the Confederate and United States of America from 1861-65. This story has frequently been told in history books, in songs, and on the big screen, but an element of that story less-frequently acknowledged is the huge role played by non-Americans, immigrants and other groups that came and fought in the famous battles of Antietam, Shiloh, and Gettysburg, for both the North and the South. In this video I'll be looking at the story of German soldiers in the American Civil War, immigrants that spoke German and came from areas that would later be united under the Prussian and German Imperial banner. They would go on to fight largely for the North, though some, particularly Prussian adventurers also fought for the South. Germans, after Irish-born soldiers, made up the largest body of "foreign" troops in the Union Army. The American Civil War was also keenly followed by Prussian military strategists, ready for their own wars of conquest against the old powers of Europe in the years to come.Music Used:1812 Overture - TchaikovskyHungarian Rhapsody - Franz LisztWilliam Tell Overture - RossiniSunday Dub - Kevin MacLeodRaid the Merch Market:teespring.com/en-GB/stores/history-with-hilberts-marketGo Fund My Windmills (Patreon):patreon.com/HistorywithHilbertJoin in the Banter on Twitter:twitter.com/HistorywHilbertEnter the Fray on Facebook:facebook.com/HistorywHilbertIndulge in some Instagram..?(the alliteration needs to stop):instagram.com/historywithhilbertSend me an email if you'd be interested in doing a collaboration! historywithhilbert@gmail.com#USA #Germany #history

Was there ever a Scottish IRA? | Scotlands Paramilitaries (1969-2014) History With Hilbert 2024-08-03 | Northern Ireland was, and to an extent, still is famous for its paramilitary organisations. Republican paramilitaries like the IRA, and their Unionist or Loyalist counterparts the UDA and the UVF were infamous for their attacks in Northern Ireland and abroad. In Scotland, there was remarkably little violence during the period of the Troubles, and no real groundswell of support emerged for creating their own armed organisations.

Why are there French Loanwords in Frisian? | Project Frisian History With Hilbert 2024-05-18 | The West Frisian language is spoken by some 450,000 mainly in the province of Fryslân in the Netherlands. It is closely related to English, and a common idea is that the main differences between English and Frisian come form the influence of French on the former following the Norman Conquest of 1066. While there is some truth in this, Frisian also has rather a lot of loanwords from French, though many of them are well disguised as Frisian words despite their romance origin.Hi!

What are Language Flags? (And Should They Exist?) History With Hilbert 2024-04-20 | Languages are often portrayed with flags, but often, there seems to be no reason or rime for why one flag is chosen over another. English can be represented with a British flag (correct) or an American flag (incorrect) or some kind of combination of the two. Portuguese is most often portrayed not with the flag of Portugal but that of Brazil. And then when we get to Arabic we have a whole different kettle of fish. Chinese is most often split between Simplified and Traditional Chinese with a variety of flags being used from the People's Republic of China (Mainland) and the Republic of China (Taiwan) as well as the flag of Hong Kong.

How did Amsterdam become the Jerusalem of the West? | History of Jewish Amsterdam (1500-2024) History With Hilbert 2024-03-22 | From the second half of the 16th century, exiled Jews from Iberia, particularly from Portugal, started coming to Amsterdam, an up and coming city that had risen from the marshes in the previous centuries.

In particular how these ideas are presented in the Icelandic sagas of the thirteenth century and beyond, a time when the authors were Christian, though many of the stories were set in a time when pre-Christian or pagan beliefs were followed.

Why Did a Bank BAN the Frisian Language? History With Hilbert 2024-02-21 | The (West) Frisian language is the one of the most closely related languages to English, being spoken by Anglo-Saxons on the continent during the same time that others moved into Britain. Since then, Frisian has continued to be spoken in the North of the Netherlands and Germany. Today, Frisian (Frysk) is the second official language of the Netherlands alongside Dutch. However, this status is not always respected giving centuries of discrimination that has affected the way the language is perceived to this day. Earlier this month it was made public that the ING Bank banned their staff members from speaking Frisian. Instead, they were forced to speak Dutch or English, even when their customers wished to speak Frisian. This has caused an outcry in the province with many Frisians shocked by the bank's policy and have called it discrimination against Frisian-speakers.

Their current topics of research include concepts of gender (and sexuality) in Norse culture, as well as the lives of disabled people in the Viking Age. Mags’ methods prioritise separating Viking Age Norse culture from the Christianised worldviews of previous scholarship to access Norse self-image on their own terms. The archaeology of domestic life in the Viking Age, and cultural variation across Scandinavia also contribute greatly to their interests and research strategies, as does existing sociological theory on gender, sexuality, and class structures in Norse society.See other videos from this year's Student Conference on Pre-Christian Religion here:How Did Norse Pagans See The World? - Tom Kaye:youtube.com/watch?v=7jAE2FBRDXISee videos from the previous Student Conference on Pre-Christian Religion here:The frenzied warbands of Odin - Tom Kaye:youtube.com/watch?v=aRgTaPjrfo8An Introduction to Pre-Christian Frisian Religion - Hilbert Vinkenoog:youtube.com/watch?v=V4c4g7BanSoAn Analysis of the Viking's Paganism - Jonathan Fischler:youtube.com/watch?v=lraU1Vyd_dY&t=739sMusic Used:Impact Allegratto - Kevin MacLeodThe Pyre - Kevin MacLeodRaid the Merch Market:teespring.com/en-GB/stores/history-with-hilberts-marketGo Fund My Windmills (Patreon):patreon.com/HistorywithHilbertJoin in the Banter on Twitter:twitter.com/HistorywHilbertEnter the Fray on Facebook:facebook.com/HistorywHilbertIndulge in some Instagram..?(the alliteration needs to stop):instagram.com/historywithhilbertSend me an email if you'd be interested in doing a collaboration! historywithhilbert@gmail.com#vikings #lgbt #history

Early-Medieval Frisian Mythology | 600-1300 AD (Lecture 2023) History With Hilbert 2024-01-27 | The Frisians were a Germanic-speaking people living in the coastal area of the Netherlands and Germany. Before the conversion to Christianity, a long process beginning after the Frankish Conquest of Frisia, the Frisians worshipped a series of gods, likely closely related to the Norse gods known from Icelandic Mythology like Odin, Thor, Frey and others. Unlike the Eddas, there is no large collection of mythology from Frisia. But is there any Frisian Mythology remaining?This video is taken from a section of a talk I gave at the Pre-Christian Student Conference in Oslo in November 2023.

How Did Norse Pagans See The World? | UiO Student Conference November 2023 History With Hilbert 2024-01-12 | Tom Kaye of the University of Oslo presents "towards a pagan ontology" at the Pre-Christian Religions of the North Conference, hosted in Oslo on the 10th of November 2023.Follow the UiO Student Conference on Pre-Christian Beliefs Facebook Page for updates, more clips and videos, and updates for when and where the next student conference will be:facebook.com/profile.php?id=61555338394038Sacred versus Profane. A clear and well entrenched dualism which rests at the heart of the study of past religions, inhabiting both the archaeological and historical approaches. The whole discipline is replete with dualistic modes of thought. Such a model pervades the majority of theory, from concept of “liminal space” to that of the Other-World model set out by stalwarts in the study in pre-Christian religion such as Jens Peter Schjødt, John Lindow and Simon Nygaard. This has certainly achieved much, but the issue arises as to how relevant these dualist modes of thought are to a polytheistic religion that actively defies such dogmatic and easy categorisations. Indeed, many of these theories and models which one encounters within the field arise from a fundamental assumption at the heart of the field, a certain equivocation of religion with culture. That is religion is a subset of culture, a human creation, which exists separate from “nature” in what is typically labelled as the Nature – Culture divide. Or put simply, religion is separate from the material world that is “out there” and shared by all, as a product of a specific subset of humanity and their shared imagination. As such all manner of social constructivist and essentialist models can be applied onto religions of the past as they all fundamentally share an identical material world that exists “out there” and is objectively measurable. However, this divide is fundamentally a production of a modern Cartesian and Christian inspired system of thought which I seek to present as having no grounds to be applied to the pre-Christian past. In this presentation I will question the validity of studying and understanding Norsemen according to our own fundamental assumptions about the world and reality that are present not only the individual scholar but in the wider discipline as through its dualist approaches. That is, I present that a fundamental obstacle to understanding pre-Christian religion is of an ontological nature – the fundamental assumptions and classifications we make about the world. I argue that a solution can be found in the recent Ontological Turn seen in anthropology espoused by key theorists such as Eduardo Viveiros de Castro and Martin Holbraad. Drawing off the non-dualism of Phillipe Descola, these approaches give primacy to their respective objects of study as a news means of theorising key assumptions or categories about the world. That is, one turns their object of study to supply an ontology for them as opposed to the typical assumptions of the scholar and their subject. As such I seek to present a turn towards a pagan ontology formulated off the source base that allows for new understandings and perspectives that differ on a fundamental level. Such would allow us to reconceptualise key elements and components such as sacrifice.This to see different things within the pre-Christian past on its own terms, rather than the seeing things differently of reflexive approaches within the field.See other videos from this year's Student Conference on Pre-Christian Religion here:*COMING SOON*See videos from the previous Student Conference on Pre-Christian Religion here:The frenzied warbands of Odin - Tom Kaye:youtube.com/watch?v=aRgTaPjrfo8An Introduction to Pre-Christian Frisian Religion - Hilbert Vinkenoog:youtube.com/watch?v=V4c4g7BanSoAn Analysis of the Viking's Paganism - Jonathan Fischler:youtube.com/watch?v=lraU1Vyd_dY&t=739sMusic Used:Impact Allegratto - Kevin MacLeodThe Pyre - Kevin MacLeodRaid the Merch Market:teespring.com/en-GB/stores/history-with-hilberts-marketGo Fund My Windmills (Patreon):patreon.com/HistorywithHilbertJoin in the Banter on Twitter:twitter.com/HistorywHilbertEnter the Fray on Facebook:facebook.com/HistorywHilbertIndulge in some Instagram..?(the alliteration needs to stop):instagram.com/historywithhilbertSend me an email if you'd be interested in doing a collaboration! historywithhilbert@gmail.com#asatru #pagan #vikings
