  • S2017E04 Morris Dancing - A Part of Our History

    • January 10, 2017

    So a few days ago a few members of the public in Birmingham disrupted and shouted down a Morris Dancing Performance, saying it was racist as the members dancing were in blackface. This is following a recent trend, with the Shrewsbury Folk Festival also banning Morris Dancers in the tradition blackface. In this video I will examine the roots of Morris Dancing and its blackface tradition, specifically addressing those who believe it to be racist.

  • S2017E17 How Viking Names Work

    • February 19, 2017

    Viking's on HBO always makes the error of assuming that the names of the "Vikings" worked the same as our names do today, especially concerning their surnames.

  • S2017E20 Who Voted For The Nazis?

    • March 12, 2017

    In 1933 the Nazis became the largest party in the German Parliament, the Reichstag and their leader Adolf Hitler would soon become the dictator of Germany. But all of this, apart from perhaps the last stages of Germany's transition into fascism in the 1930's, was done legally and democratically, so who actually voted for the Nazis?

    I talk a little about a 10th Century Irish Ringfort or Cashel called Caherconnel which I once visited when travelling through County Clare but soon diverge and talk about broader Early Medieval Irish history with the Norsemen, Christianity and domestic affairs in the spotlight. It's a bit all over the place but hopefully something you'll enjoy!

  • S2017E41 Why is the South Obsessed with the Civil War?

In this video I'm going to analyse why the connection to both the Civil War and the Confederate Past is so important to Southerners even though many are calling for the symbols and iconography to be banned on grounds of racism and white supremacy. *In the video I say Fort Sumter is in Virginia, it isn't, it's in South Carolina* Tom Richey's Video on the Confederacy as "Other": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RB1Qw8TdlGE&t=1s Raid the Merch Market: https://teespring.com/en-GB/stores/history-with-hilberts-market Music Used: Alternate History - Holfix Mystery - Holfix Past the Edge - Kevin MacLeod "Past the Edge" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ https://www.youtube.com/user/holfix Some of the sources and articles used: https://discovere.binghamton.edu/news/civilwar-3826.html https://www.civilwar.org/learn/articles/civil-war-casualties https://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/04/25/rape-and-justice-in-the-civil-war/?_r=1 http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/07/02/poverty-increase-map_n_5548577.html What was the Flag of the Confederates? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3eaqiB7wAo&t=2s Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HistorywithHilbert Twitter: https://twitter.com/HistorywHilbert Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/History-with...

If you're interested in some of the topics about the Dutch Republic, The Sea Wars against the French and English and the conflict between the Statists and the Royalist Orangists you should definitely check out the film "Admiraal" about the Dutch hero Michiel De Ruyter which goes into a lot of these issues.

  • S2017E77 Vikings Season 5 - Historical Predictions: Great Heathen Army, Warrior Bishops, Iceland

    • December 3, 2017

    Season 5 of Vikings is upon us - but historically speaking; what can we expect? I'll be analysing what can be seen in the trailer and while I don't know where the producers of the show will take it in Season 5, there may well be spoilers as my historical information about the real-life Ragnar, Bjorn, Harald, Floki etc. might just be accurate. Keep watching if you're interested in what I think will happen with Bjorn in Spain and North Africa, King Alfred the Great in England, Ivar and Ubba and the war for Kattegat and Floki's journey to Iceland.

  • S2017E78 Dutch "Christmas" Tradition - Sinterklaas and Zwarte Piet

    • December 6, 2017

    Last night, throughout much of the Netherlands, children unwrapped presents brought to them by Sinterklaas (Saint Nicholas) and his assistants Zwarte Piet (Black Peter) - but aren't they a whole 20 days early? In this video we're going to take a look at the Dutch tradition of Sinterklaas which is also observed in parts of Belgium, Luxembourg and Northern France. The history behind how the real-life Saint Nicholas went from a Turkish Bishop to the figure of Sinterklaas who is himself the inspiration for "Santa Claus."

  • S2017E79 Why Zwarte Piet is NOT Racist (in my humble opinion)

    • December 5, 2017

    It's that time of year again, pepernoten all around, carrots in clogs, coming together to sing Sinterklaasliedjes and various hitpieces from international newspapers targeting Zwarte Piet as a blackface, racist "colonial hangover" based on a slave. In this video I will defend Zwarte Piet and put forward why I believe he is far from racist and is actually a positive figure for black people in the Netherlands. Of course this is only my opinion and you may disagree - I'd love to hear all about it in the comment section although I do ask that everyone remains civil and respectful of one another.

  • S2017E80 How did the Vikings Discover Iceland?

    • December 9, 2017

    Iceland's connections to Scandinavia are thanks to its settlement by Norsemen, mostly from Norway - but how did they get there in the first place, after all, it's not exactly the corner. In this video I will explore the first Norsemen (and one Swede) who ventured across the North Atlantic and either purposefully or, in most cases, accidentally, came across the land we now call Iceland.

    • December 13, 2017

    The Second World War touched every country in Europe, from the nucleus of the storm in Nazi Germany to the frigid tundras of the Soviet Union to the rural communities nestled in the French mountains. But one country seldom talked about in this time is Spain. Spain was at this time just recovering from the incredibly destructive Spanish Civil War (1936 - 1939) upon which the Fascist Francisco Franco became the de-facto leader. Despite not entering the war on any side, the story of Spain during the Second World War is a fascinating one. Hope you enjoy the video!

  • S2017E84 Irish/Gaelic Monks in Iceland, The Faroe Islands and the Scottish Isles

    • December 15, 2017

    We all know the Norse Vikings discovered Iceland in the middle of the 9th century, but how many of you knew that they were not the first to set foot on earth's 18th largest island? Irish or Scots-Irish monks are likely to have resided on Iceland as hermits seeking to follow in the footsteps of the Desert Fathers. They were the "Papar" referenced by the Icelandic Sagas Íslendingabók and Landnámabók, and though they were chased out by their new neighbours, their legacy can still be found by those who look.

  • S2017E85 Why is Belgium so Divided?

    • December 17, 2017

    Belgium's history of linguistic division is as old as the country itself, the northern half being Dutch or Flemish speaking while the southern half is French or Walloon speaking. And we haven't even got into the German speakers living on Belgium's eastern fringes! The two larger language groups each attempt to rule their own independently having essentially segregated governments for Flanders and Wallonia, however the crisis of 2007 - 2011 showed that while the northern Flemings wanted more decentralisation and autonomy, the southern Walloons were dead set against it. Since then a split of Belgium along these lines has seemed inevitable, but this led me to question: how on earth did Belgium become so divided? The story will take us back to the Holy Roman Empire and the Kingdom of France, William of Orange and the Eighty Years War, Napoleon, the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the Belgian Revolution and two World Wars so strap in because this is going to be a good one!

She had to contend with Catholic plots, both homegrown and from abroad, with foreign interventions from Scotland and Mary Queen of Scots, her own cousin, as well as the Spanish and French, the religious extremists of the Jesuits and the Marian Exiles followed by the Puritans on both the Catholic and Protestant side of the ecclesiastical spectrum and finally the issues presented to her following her repeated decisions not to marry and therefore her inability to produce an heir.

  • S2017E87 The History of Peaky Blinders - Communists, IRA, 1920's Gangs, The Italian Mafia and More!

    • December 19, 2017

    The Peaky Blinders is a BBC Historical Drama series semi-based on a gang of the same name active on Birmingham's racecourses and streets in the late 1890's, although the Shelby brothers on our screens inhabit the world of the 1920's Black Country. During their various adventures and exploits they make contact with IRA gunmen, helping their comrades back in Ireland who at this time were fighting the British in the Irish War of Independence from 1919 to 1922, Communists from the newly established USSR who were helped by Socialist factory workers yet opposed by royalist White Russians or Russian Emigrés in exile. Even the domestic politics of the time with a whole host of gangs based on ethnic and class lines is fascinating and features Italian Mafia from London and New York, Jewish "bakers" and armies of roving gypsies. In this video I'm going to be discussing all of that and more! I would highly recommend watching these videos by History West Midlands featuring historian Carl Chinn who specialises and has written a book about Birmingham street gangs in the late 19th and early 20th century.

  • S2017E88 How did the Vikings Discover Greenland?

    • December 21, 2017

    Greenland is the largest island on earth not to be counted as a continent in its own right and like many islands in the North Atlantic it was discovered and colonised by Norsemen. After last week's video about how the Norse discovered Iceland, I thought this was the next logical step in a series about Norse expansion westward, culminating in settlements on the North American mainland a generation after the successful colonisation of Greenland which made it possible. In this video I will talk about the first (known at least) Europeans to see and set foot in Greenland, including the tales of famous Norsemen like Gunnbjörn Ulfsson, Snæbjörn Galti and Eiríkr hinn rauði (Eric the Red).

    It’s Christmastime everyone, as you can tell from the name, it has a lot to do with Christ and Christianity, after all, Jesus was born on the 25th of December, right? Well, not quite. Most of what we do at Christmas time has little or nothing to do with Christianity and is rather rooted in the ancient pagan pasts of both Europe and other places. In this video I’m going to explore the aspects of Christmas that come form the traditions and beliefs of the Northern Europe Germanic or Nordic Pagans as this is what I know the most about and what interests me the most. This isn’t to say there are more explanations for where certain traditions come from or that there were other groups who contributed aspects of our modern Christmas celebrations. Things like Carol Singing, Christmas Trees, Christmas Lights, Yule Logs, Christmas Dinner, Santa Claus, the Elves, New Year’s Resolutions and Kissing under the Mistletoe can all be traced back to the pagan times of our forefathers and to various characters of Norse Myth and Legend like Odin, Freyja, Baldr and Thor.

  • S2017E90 Why were the Dutch at War with the Scilly Isles from 1651 to 1985?

    • December 28, 2017

    The Germans have their 30 Years War, The Dutch have their 80 Years War and the English and French hated each other so much they even duked it out for the Hundred Year War (although it was actually longer!) But did you know the record for longest war has to go to the Isles of Scilly, off the southwestern coast of Cornwall, who were semi-officially "at war" with the Dutch Republic from 1651 until this terrible violence was finally put to an end in 1985 with the signing of a historic peace treaty between the Netherlands and the Islands. In this video I'm going to be taking a look at why the Dutch declared war on a tiny group of islands, how the war went, and why it lasted so long. Hope you all enjoy!

  • S2018E01 King Henry VII: The Battle of Bosworth - Episode 1

    • January 5, 2018

    In 1485, near the town of Bosworth Market in Leicestershire, three armies came together around the landmark of Ambion Hill, to do battle and decide who would be the next to rule England as king. It was the culmination of 30 years of war, started in 1455 at the First Battle of Saint Albans, the first combat of the Wars of the Roses. Many kings would rise and fall, fighting for both the House of Lancaster and the House of York, but by 1485 there was only one Lancastrian claimant left, and his name was Henry Tudor, Earl of Richmond. Crossing the channel from exile in Brittany and later France, with a crew of French and Scottish knights, he landed in Wales and marched northwards, being met by his friend and countryman Rhys ap Thomas and many Welsh supporters on his march to Shrewsbury. In the meantime the royal army had assembled: Richard's lords the Earl of Northumberland and the Earl of Norfolk, as well as the less trustworthy Lords Stanley, William and Thomas. The Battle of Bosworth Field would see betrayal, the fall of the House of Plantagenet and the birth of a new dynasty.

  • S2018E02 The Celtic Invasion of Greece and the Second Battle of Thermopylae

    • January 12, 2018

    The many wars between the Celts and the Romans are well known and have become the stuff of legend with famous people like Vercingetorix, Julius Caesar and Boudicca springing to mind, however the relationship between the Gauls/Celts and another Classical Civilisation of the Mediterranean, the Ancient Greeks is much less well known but is just as interesting. In this video I'm going to explore the most dramatic interaction between the two different cultures: the Celtic Invasion of Greece in 279 BC. Alexander the Great's once mighty Macedonian kingdom would be reduced to ashes, a second battle would be fought at the famous Thermopylae, and the final, fatal encounter would take place in the foothills around the Oracle of Delphi.

  • S2018E03 The Biggest Myth in Dances With Wolves

    • January 8, 2018

    Don't get me wrong, I love Dances With Wolves, and it was pretty revolutionary for its portrayal of Native Americans in a more sympathetic light. However one thing always annoys me about the film which is the overly positive portrayal of the Lakota Sioux. Now this isn't necessarily a bad thing because of course John Dunbar is friendly to the Sioux and the film is from his perspective. However this has led to the somewhat misfounded, revisionist view that all the Native Americans had lived on their land for thousands of years and lived in harmony with it, however in the case of the Lakota Sioux this was certainly not the case. The demonetisation of the Pawnee also leaves out the fact that they were native to the plains and were driven out by the invading Lakota Sioux. Anyway, I thought it was a good opportunity to talk about some things.

  • S2018E04 It's Time to Stop Being Pedantic About the Word Viking - A Rant

    • January 14, 2018

    Is it okay to use the term "viking" for non-warriors from Scandinavia during the Dark Ages? In this video I'm going to argue it's totally fine and why suggesting otherwise is, in my opinion, a bit silly and pedantic. This is not an attack on my subscribblers, you guys are finer than a stroopwafel whose inner syrup has melted to the temperature of a freshly baked oliebol, only a venting toward some of these "hipster historians" who thinks my use of the word viking warrants hate comments.

  • S2018E05 Henry VII: The Consolidation of Power - Episode II

    • January 31, 2018

    After defeating the last Plantagenet, Yorkist King Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485, the new king of England Henry Tudor had to secure his grip on the throne or risk being usurped himself. In this video I'll be looking at how Henry VII consolidated his power as king, involving his actions before and after Bosworth in dealing with both the Yorkist prisoners such as John De La Pole, Lord Lovell, the Duke of Norfolk and Edward, Earl of Warwick, as well those Lancastrians and disillusioned Yorkists who had fought beside him like his uncle Jasper Tudor, Giles Daubeney, Rhys ap Thomas and John De Vere, the Earl of Oxford. I'll also explore Henry's marriage to Elizabeth of York and the first moves he made as king. Hope you all enjoy it!

  • S2018E06 The Revolution That Could Have Turned Germany Communist in 1919 - The Spartacist Rising

    • January 13, 2018

    Germany's early 20th century history is dominated by both the autocratic rule under the Kaiser and then the rise of the Nazis and Adolf Hitler in the late 20's and 30's, but what about that other radical ideology that burnt across Europe like a prairie fire in the opening decades of the 20th century? Communism played a large part in Germany's later history, and it may not come as a surprise to you that after the fall of the Kaiser in 1918 they were eager to claim Deutschland as their own, in an attempt to model their nation after the recently revolutionised Russia. In this video I'll be covering the Spartacist Uprising undertaken by Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg in Berlin in the early days of 1919, why they did so, how the government responded, why they failed and finally how this influenced the future of both Germany and the world.

  • S2018E07 The Kapp Putsch of 1920

    • January 26, 2018

    By 1920, Germany had been transformed from an authoritarian monarchist state under the Kaiser to a republic with a democratically elected parliament and president. However, not all Germans were pleased with the new changes, in fact the majority either wished for totally different, Communist-oriented government or for a return to the way things were under the Kaiser. Supporters of the latter could be found aplenty in the Freikorps, roving bands of semi-official war veterans ridding the country of its socialist and communist would-be revolutionaries. However when they were ordered to disband some of their most elite units, they instead marched on Berlin and kicked off what would become known as the Kapp Putsch on March 13th 1920.

  • S2018E09 The Viking History of York

    • March 2, 2018

    The city of York in the north of England was home to a seat of Scandinavian rule built off the back of viking raids and the initial conquest of the Danelaw by the brothers Halfdan with the Wide Embrace, Ivar the Boneless and Ubba the Duke of the Frisians with the Great Heathen Army. From then on until the middle of the 11th century it served as a focal point for Norse activity in Britain, often being connected to the Hiberno-Norse kingdoms in Ireland like Dublin, and being a key city to the likes of Olaf Guthfrithsson, Eric Bloodaxe and Harald Hardrada before being fully absorbed into Norman England for good after the 1080's. It never lost it's Scandinavian heritage however, as can be seen on the city's streetnames, the local dialects and of course the rich treasure trove of archaeological discoveries found at the Coppergate dig which can still be seen in Jorvik Museum today.

    • January 30, 2018

    While in the last episode I talked about Henry VII's Consolidation of Power following his victory in the Battle of Bosworth, the England he inhabited was still chronically divided between the factions of the House of York and the House of Lancaster. While the latter supported Henry's goal of a Tudor England, many supporters of the previous Yorkist kings rose up against him and tried to oust him from power, using a multitude of rebellions and pretenders like Perkin Warbeck and Lambert Simnel to spearhead these attempts. This is just part 1 in which I will cover the Lord Lovell's Rising, also known as the Staffordshire Rising, and Lambert Simnel's Rising of 1487. In part 2 I'll cover the other rebellions in the later part of Henry VII's reign. Hope you enjoy!

    • January 15, 2018

    The history of Communism in Germany i only really associated with the second half of the 20th century when the Eastern Half of the country including the capital, Berlin, became a state of the Eastern Block with a Communist-style government in power. However in 1920, following the failed Communist coup undertaken by the likes of Rosa Luxembourg and Karl Liebknecht of the Spartacus League, the right-wing Kapp Putsch facilitated the circumstances for another uprising. While the rest of Germany went on strike in accordance with the wishes of Friedrich Ebert, the president, people in the Ruhr took up arms and defeated the right-wing Freikorps in their country, leading to the creation of a Communist Republic.

  • S2018E12 The Eighty Years' War

    • March 16, 2018

    The 80 Years' War saw the area of the Low Countries of modern-day Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, and parts of Northeast France and Northern German transformed into the first incarnation of the modern country of the Netherlands. The Dutch provinces of Holland, Utrecht, Zeeland, Friesland, Gelderland, Groningen, Overijssel and Drenthe formed the Dutch Republic after successfully rebelling against the mighty Spanish Empire ruled at the time by King Phillip II. The tale of the 80 Years War is an intricate tale of alliance and betrayal, French and English princes, the Armada, the House of Orange, and the almost century-long deadlock between the Dutch and the Spanish.

  • S2018E13 Why did France and Belgium Invade Germany in 1923 - The Occupation of the Ruhr

    • January 14, 2018

    During the First World War from 1914 - 1918 the Allied powers of France, Belgium and Great Britain (to name a few) tried in vain to break the stalemate on the Western Front and push into Germany to strike a crippling blow against their enemies. Something that is a lot less well known is that in 1923 the Belgians and French, 5 years after the end of the First World War, did in fact invade Germany, specifically the heavily-industrialised Ruhr region in the western Rhineland. This was a huge dilemma for the fledgling Weimar Republic and its President Ebert, as the German Army had been limited to 100,000 men after the Treaty of Versailles, and Germany's economy was in no way ready for war. They did fight the invaders however, but with terrifying unforeseen consequences.

  • S2018E14 The History of South Africa (3000BC - 1879AD) - with Armchair Historian!

    • March 29, 2018

    Pastoral African herdsmen, roving bands of Dutch-speaking farmers and tribes of iklwa-wielding Zulus are just some of the things that make early South Africa history a fascinating area of our past. In this video, which is indeed a collaboration with the awesome channel over at Armchair Historian, I'll be taking a closer look at this early history of South Africa and the prelude to the Anglo-Zulu War which kicked off in 1879.Who were the various African peoples living there in the forms of the Khoikoi and the San, and where did the later Bantu arrivals of the Zulus, Xhosa and Sotho to name a few, come from. Why were there lighter-skinned Europeans in the form of the Dutch VOC Company and later the British, interfering in this already complex politically situation at the tip of the African continent? Find out all this and more in my video and don't forget to check out Armchair Historian's video on the Anglo-Zulu War itself, link and cards provided!

  • S2018E15 The Old North: British Celtic Kingdoms in the North of England (Hen Ogledd)

    • January 2, 2018

    Before the Romans arrived and conquered Britain in the 1st century AD, and after they were sent packing in the 5th century AD, the Britons lived in the lands we now divide into England, Scotland and Wales. Most of the time in our modern view of history we consign these "Celtic" peoples to Scotland, Wales and Cornwall after the Anglo-Saxon Invasion, ignoring the existence of independent British kingdoms that continued to hold out against the invaders for hundreds of years. While those in the south were soon swamped by the newly arrived Angles, Saxons, Jutes and Frisians, a swathe of land from the Dee to the Clyde was known as the Hen Ogledd, the Old North, and remained a bastion of British resistance right up until the Norse arrived in the 8th century. The legacy of these northern Britons of the Gododdin, Strathclyde, Rheged, Cumbria and Elmet can still be seen all around us in the north, from the dialects, place names and archaeology to the culture itself.

  • S2018E16 How Germany's Borders Changed from the Second Reich to Today

    • March 28, 2018

    In many of my Weimar videos I've been using the modern map of Germany because of the lack in accurate maps from the period. Thanks to the awesome thegoatman, one of my loyal subscribblers, I now have period accurate maps for the Weimar Republic which I'll use in the next videos I make. In this one, I thought I'd quickly talk about how Germany's borders have changed over the last century, from Bismarck's unification of Germany under the Prussians in 1871, through the First World War and the aftermath of Versailles and then again after the Second World War resulting in the Partition of Germany into West and East before Germany was once again reunified in 1990.

  • S2018E18 Does the Kensington Runestone prove that the Vikings Settled in Minnesota?

    • January 3, 2018

    In 1898, near Kensington, Minnesota, a discovery was made that could have changed American History forever. A large runestone pertained to tell of a group of Scandinavian explorers from Norway and Sweden who had come under attack from the local natives in the year 1362. If true this would be possible evidence for continued Norse habitation in North America and yet more European contact with the New World before Christopher Columbus. Yet there are severe doubts about the authenticity of the stone as there are several problems in a number of fields concerning it.

  • S2018E19 The History of the English Flag

    • April 9, 2018

    Most people know that the Union Flag (sometimes incorrectly called the Union Jack by normies) is made up of the various flags of the United Kingdom combining things like the Scottish Saltire and the English Saint George's Cross. But what is the history behind these symbols and why were they adopted by these nations, and what is more, why these flags, and what about the competitors who if history had been different might have come to symbolise these nations. In today's episode, I'm going to explore the history and symbolism behind England's flag, the Saint George's Cross, as well as the other banners that were once seen as being representative of the English people.

  • S2018E26 The Welsh Flag: History and Meaning of The Red Dragon Flag

    • January 1, 2018

    You may think it's a bit odd that I'm making a video in the Union Flag Series about the Welsh flag, given that it's the only part of the United Kingdom not represented on the country's flag.

    • January 30, 2018

    So I've made quite a few videos on the Weimar Republic so far without having gone into how the system functioned (which is in itself a controversial statement.) I've decided therefore to dedicate a video to how the government of the Weimar Republic worked, looking at the roles of the president, the chancellor and institutions inside the country called the Reichstag and the Reichsrat as well as the voting system and some random additions that I threw in there.

    In this instalment I look at the flag of Northern Ireland, even if it is unofficial, and still causes controversy inside the country today. Despite its seeming loyalist connotations, the flag has a history that is at the same time as Gaelic as it is British and like Northern Ireland is a result of the mixture of both. Covering as diverse topics as the Ui Neill's mysterious Red Hand of Ulster, the Tyrone Rebellion and Nine Years War of 1594 - 1603, the Anglo-Scottish Plantation of Ulster, The 1916 Easter Rising and the Troubles in Northern Ireland in the 1970's.

  • S2018E45 A Response to Lindybeige - "How Highlanders Fought"

    • August 25, 2018

    Fellow history Youtuber Lindybeige recently uploaded a video called "Broadsword and targe - how Highlanders fought" in which he demonstrates the fighting techniques of the Scottish Highlanders using the targe and basket-hilted broadsword. This was a great representation of how Highlanders fought against similarly armed opponents however in this video I'd like to look at how they went about fighting the very differently equipped soldiers of the British Government as they did during the Jacobite Risings from 1689 to 1745.

    Rastafarianism originated as a belief set on the Caribbean island of Jamaica in the 1930's as a result of Black Empowerment and Supremacist movements, incorporating Pan Africanism and Ethiopianism as promoted by Marcus Garvey and turning it into a colourful religion, reinterpreting the Bible and giving a key position to Haile Selassie, then Ethiopia's emperor. Popularised by Reggae Artists like Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer, Rastafari messages were imported across the world although the key details of Jamaica's only indigenous religion are still obscure and little known to most of us.

    With the killing of US Missionary John Allen Chau on the 25th November 2018, a small island in the Indian Ocean called North Sentinel Island became a household name - and his Neolithic, violently isolationist, tribal Sentinelese killers the subject of amazement and mystery. Having lived on their island for around 60,000, they are the modern population group we know the least about, every attempt to land on North Sentinel Island ending in an attack mounted by armed tribesmen on the beach. In this video I'll look at the history of the island and look at how modern events unfolding there can be of anthropological use when looking at the past. 1991 Successful Friendly Landing on North Sentinel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExdEHU02Zk0 Other Interesting Footage of Uncontacted Tribes in Papua New Guinea: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5aV_850nzv4 Raid the Merch Market: https://teespring.com/en-GB/stores/history-with-hilberts-market Go Fund My Windmills (Patreon:) https://www.patreon.com/HistorywithHilbert Join In The Banter On Twitter: https://twitter.com/HistorywHilbert Enter the Fray on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HistorywHilbert/ Music Used: Expeditionary - Kevin MacLeod Firesong - Kevin MacLeod Night of the Owl - Kevin MacLeod Loopster - Kevin MacLeod Eastern Thought - Kevin MacLeod Lost Frontier - Kevin MacLeod Feral Dub - Kevin MacLeod "Feral Dub” - Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License Send me an email if you'd be interested in doing a collaboration! historywithhilbert@gmail.com #NorthSentinelIsland #USMissionaryKilled #UncontactedTribe

    • December 10, 2018

    The Viking Age was born in Denmark, with many of the raids in England, Northern France and Spain originating in the warbands of Danish petty kings. However when we talk about "Denmark" during this time, it's worth noting that we don't mean the same thing as that which we mean today. Instead, Denmark was considerably larger than the boundaries of the modern country, including Schleswig to the south, and a stretch of coastline across the Øresund including the modern Swedish regions of Skåne, Halland and further north the Norwegian regions around the Vik known as Viken.

Following this I'll also delve into the reign of his son King Æthelwulf (839-858) and his response to the Viking incursions as well as what information can be gleaned about the nature of the West-Saxon Kingdom and its relationship with Mercia during the time.

    After the Norman Conquest of 1066 and the installation of William, Duke of Normandy's dynasty as the new kings of England, for the first time in the history of the united kingdom its rulers no longer spoke English. Instead they spoke Norman French, a Romance language that left its mark on Modern English in the form of new vocabulary like pork, beef, castle, captain, forest. But in the new Netflix film "The King", Henry V is shown to be speaking English; and without a French accent. Is this accurate? In this video I take a look at when the kings of England stopped speaking French and started speaking English.

In 911 AD Charles the Simple, King of West Francia, granted the County of Rouen to a Viking warleader called Rollo (Hrólfr in Old Norse), starting a process that would lead to the formation of the Duchy of Normandy. While Rollo's followers were originally Old Norse-speaking, sea-faring, pagan, Viking Age Scandinavians bent on plunder, within several generations they were unrecognisable, having become French-speaking, Christian feudal overlords.

Today I'm going to look at the early days of the religion, when in a very short period of time the Islamic Empire conquered large swathes of the Middle East, Africa, and the Iberian Peninsula. What many people don't know is that three cataclysmic volcanic eruptions, leading to the so called Late Antique Little Ice Age, and the subsequent boost in size of camel herds may have greatly aided those early Muslim conquerors.

  • S2020E07 Viking French? | What was the Norman Language?

    • January 31, 2020

    In 911 AD a Viking chief named Rollo (Old Norse Hrólfr) was given as a fief the territory of Normandy in the North of France, the then Western Frankish Kingdom. 155 years later his descendant William would become a king in England starting the Norman Era and leaving a legacy that would shape British and world history. But in terms of those first Scandinavians that came to Northern France in the 10th Century, what language did they speak and how did this influence the development of Modern English that is spoken throughout the world today? While they were originally Old Norse speakers, soon the new "Normans" switched to the local vernacular of Old French, this new blend becoming known as "Old Norman" which retained some interesting features and loaned many words from Old Norse and decisively influenced the English language as we know it.

  • S2020E13 How Did the Zulus Go From Tribe to Empire? | Rise of the Zulus (1790-1828)

    • March 26, 2020

    Perhaps the most famous of Africa's tribes, the Zulus rose to prominence under their King Shaka at the start of the 19th Century on the Eastern seaboard of what's now South Africa. In the years following Shaka's death his successors would have encounters with the Boer Voortrekkers and more famously, with the British culminating in the Anglo-Zulu War (1879) where they managed to decisively defeat them at the Battle of Isandlwana before themselves suffering defeat at the now infamous Battle of Rorke's Drift. But in this video I'm not going to be talking about the much more well known story of the British Invasion of Zululand in the later 19th Century and the demise of the Zulu Empire, but rather about its origin and how it came about. In the 18th Century the Zulu as a people had only just become a separate entity, and certainly were not one of the major players on the scene before the time of Shaka. A series of factors played a role in their rise to power around the turn of the 19th Century, most notably the actions of Shaka himself as well as a shift in the way in which warfare was carried about by the tribes of the region and their interactions with European trading networks.

    Perhaps the most gifted general to come out of Scotland in the 17th century, David Leslie is unfortunately a little known Scottish hero who fought for his religion, country, and even at times, his King. David Leslie led the charge for the side of parliament, the famous Covenanters, to many victories against the Royalists in both Scotland and south of the border in England thus taking part in both the Scottish and English Civil War or War of the Three Kingdoms as it's sometimes termed. Before this he served in the Swedish Army of the 17th Century and saw action against the Russians in Polish service during the Smolensk War.

  • S2020E15 How Did the Zulus Revolutionise South African Warfare?

    • March 28, 2020

    At the Battle of Isandlwana in 1879, an army of Zulu warriors armed with cowhide shields and short stabbing spears succeeded in defeating and killing an army of 1,800 British regulars and their allies, armed with the latest European fire arms and artillery. The tactics they employed, the "Horns of the Buffalo" or Impondo Zankomo in isiZulu, owe their existence to the military genius of the man who forged the Zulu Empire in the heat of the African sun: Shaka. His military innovations and reforms included the invention of a new, shorter spear called the Assegai, or more commonly known by its isiZulu nickname: the iKlwa, and that of much larger, thicker shields capable of shielding his warriors when closing on an enemy from range. These inventions suited his tactical style of combat, surrounding an enemy and cutting them down at close quarters instead of the much lighter style that had predominated in African combat before. Off the battlefield he used psychological warfare and guerrilla tactics to great effect too.

In terms of how long people have inhabited the Americas however, horses are a very recent addition to their cultures, only being introduced by the Spanish expeditions into North America in the 17th Century. With the Great Pueblo Revolt of 1680 whole herds escaped onto the Great Plains and the secret weapon of the Spaniards had been exposed to the Native tribes that lived in its vicinity. Even before this the Apache, Geronimo's ancestors, had been raiding the Pueblo settlements under Spanish protection and had acquired horses for themselves, becoming the first mounted tribe in America's history. Soon more would follow. Most famous of these were the Comanche, Quannah Parker's ancestors, who by all accounts were the most skilled riders as documented by the accounts of the artist George Catlin. By the 18th Century horses had been traded and raided right the way into the northern reaches of the Great Plains in what's now Canada among the Blackfeet Nations who referred to them as "big dogs" and later "elk dogs" as they'd never before encountered such creatures until their Shoshone enemies used them in battle against them.

Edward was the eldest son of Alfred the Great and his wife Ealhswith, and was responsible for the conquest of large parts of the so-called "Danelaw" of Danish controlled East Anglia, Essex and Eastern Mercia during his lifetime. His portrayal in season 4 is of a young man who is both shown as being indecisive whilst then flipping to the other extreme of being rash and reckless towards the end. Furthermore, he is shown as disrespecting and seeking to harm both his mother Ealhswith and Æthelflæd. The historical record of Edward the Elder directly contradicts many of the things shown in the Last Kingdom with regards to his personality and his campaigns against the Danelaw and will be what I look at in this video.

  • S2020E24 What Happened to the Old (Medieval) English Flag?

    • May 16, 2020

    While ultimately less well know than the "Union Flag", more commonly referred to as simple the British Flag, St George's red cross on a white field is the national flag of England and the English. But for much of the Middle Ages, it wasn't the only one used by the kingdom of England, and St George had to contend with the like of St Edmund and St Edward for prime position as "the" flag of England.

    "The Troubles" is the name given to the sectarian conflict between largely Catholic Republicans and mostly Protestant Unionists that split Northern Ireland from the late 1960s until the Good Friday Agreement of 1998. One figure that often appears on the flags carried by the aptly-named "Orange Order" and who is lionised on Unionist murals is King "Billy" - William of Orange, the Dutch Stadthouder who became King William of England, Ireland and Scotland in 1688. But why is this 17th Century Dutch King still revered and hated in equal measure by many in Northern Ireland in the 19th and still today in the 20th Century?

  • S2021E02 How Dictators Killed the Democracy | History of Uganda 1962-2021

    • January 29, 2021

    The small East African country of Uganda recently elected Yoweri Museveni as its president for the sixth time, continuing his run as head of state that began with his violent takeover of power in 1986. Despite his win there are allegations of widespread voter fraud and clear indications that underhand methods were used in order to give him the advantage over his main political rival Bobi Wine, who was placed under house arrest by the army on the day of the election. In this video I dive into the long and complicated political history of Uganda from its independence in 1962 and through the various infamous dictators like Idi Amin and Milton Obote to better understand the foundations of Ugandan democracy and how Yoweri Museveni was able to rise to power.

As we will discover in this video, Myanmar's post-colonial history has been one of prolonged military juntas and general dictatorships, this latest seizure of power just the latest in a long line of coups, uprisings and political maneuvers.

Check out our personal recommendation and MagellanTV’s exclusive playlists: https://www.magellantv.com/explore/history One of the more interesting historical phenomena to be revived in the early 2000s is certainly the resurgence of piracy off the coast of Somalia. For over a decade spiking in 2010, pirates from Somalia terrorised the shipping lanes of the Indian Ocean, boarding cargo ships, personal yachts and fishing trawlers, bringing the vessels back to the coast and holding their occupants hostage before demanding a payment of ransom. But how is this possible in the modern world? In this video we'll explore the twentieth century history of Somalia, the military dictatorship, civil wars and breakdown of society making piracy a viable profession for thousands of young men.# Raid the Merch Market: https://teespring.com/en-GB/stores/history-with-hilberts-market Go Fund My Windmills (Patreon): https://www.patreon.com/HistorywithHilbert Join in the Banter on Twitter: https://twitter.com/HistorywHilbert Enter the Fray on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HistorywHilbert/ Indulge in some Instagram..?(the alliteration needs to stop): https://www.instagram.com/historywithhilbert/ Music Used: Energizing - Keivn MacLeodc Finding the Balance - Kevin MacLeod Envisioning - Kevin MacLeod Tafi Maradi - Kevin MacLeod Digya - Kevin MacLeod Expeditionary - Kevin MacLeod Asian Drums - Kevin MacLeod Devestation & Revenge - Kevin MacLeod Sunday Dub - Kevin MacLeod Infados - Kevin MacLeod Send me an email if you'd be interested in doing a collaboration! historywithhilbert@gmail.com #SomaliPirates #Africa #Pirates

    Catalonia/Catalunya/Cataluña is an autonomous community in the northeast of Spain that in recent years had an increasingly visible movement asking for full independence, culminating in an election in 2017 that the Spanish government deemed unconstitutional and illegal. In February 2021, the Catalan rapper Pablo Hastél was arrested for lyrics and tweets insulting the Spanish royal family and praising groups such as ETA (Euskadi Ta Askatasuna) and GRAPO (Grupos de Resistencia Antifascista Primero de Octubre), Basque and Marxist armed groups. This has sparked more protests across Spain but especially in Catalonia. In this video I take a look at the history of Catalonia and the roots of its independence movement. Was it ever an independent kingdom? How long have Catalans wanted independence? And why is Spain so unwilling to let go of its northeastern community?

    Afghanistan has seen a seemingly endless cycle of conflict since the Soviet-Afghan War (1979-1989), with the First Afghan Civil War (1989-1992), followed by the victory of the Taliban in the Second Afghan Civil War (1992-1996), the subsequent Northern Rebellion and then the US Invasion of 2001 to strike back at training camps before the new insurgency of 2003 started the protracted phase of fighting still marring the nation to this day. In February 2020 however, the United States and their opponents came closer to achieving a peace agreement than any that have been seen before, promising the withdrawal of US troops in 14 months. Now that the deadline of May is fast approaching, the question remains as to whether Biden will follow the plan as his predecessor set out, that being against almost all the advice given to him by military advisors on the ground.

    For a limited time, grab the 1-year NordPass Premium plan with 50% off at https://nordpass.com/historyhilbert or use code historyhilbert! Thanks to NordPass for sponsoring this video. Old Norse was the language spoken by Scandinavian Vikings on their raiding, trading and colonising missions to Britain and the islands around it. The North Germanic languages, those that developed from Old Norse, are those today found in Scandinavia, Norwegian, Danish, Swedish, and Elfdalian, as well as the Insular North Germanic languages found on the Atlantic islands in the form of Icelandic and Faroese. Until around 1850 however, there was another Norse language spoken on the Scottish islands of Orkney and Shetland: the Norn language. Unfortunately the islanders switched to speaking Scots from the 18th century onwards, however there is now an effort underway to restore the earlier Norn language of the islands with a language revival attempt like that of Manx and Cornish, with the end goal the creation and proliferation of ‘Nynorn’ – new Norn.

    Spanish is not the only language in Spain, in fact there are many other official and recognised languages and a multitude of dialects. Spanish or Castilian, Catalan (Català), Galician (Galego), Basque (Euskara), Asturleonese, more commonly Asturian (Asturianu) and Leonese (Llionés), Occitan, of the Gascon variant and specificually Aranese (Aranés) and Aragonese (Aragonés). *NOTE* In the video I show as the flag for Galicia a flag called the 'Estreleira' which is not actually the official flag of the autonomous community but rather a flag associated with Galician separatism. This was not an intentional endorsement but rather an honest mistake on my part so please forgive the addition!

Not as many people know that the Dutch East India Company (VOC or Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie) also controlled territory in parts of India and Sri Lanka. This included trading posts, forts, towns and factories in Surat, the Malabar Coast, Coromandel, and Bengal in places like Cochin, Surat, Pulicat, Nagapatam, and Pipely. In this video I talk about the forgotten history of Dutch India, how the first trading centres were either established or captured from the Portuguese, what attracted the Dutch there in the first place, and why India eventually became a British domain.

In this video I explore the entire history of Haiti leading up to that point, from the Native American Taíno peoples to the coming of the Spanish and establishment of the colony of Santo Domingo with Christopher Columbus, through the French settlement of Sainte-Domingue and the importation of thousands of African slaves leading to the creation of the Voodoo/Vodou belief system and the eventual Haitian Revolution in which these slaves revolted under the leadership of Toussaint Louverture and later Jean-Jacques Dessalines to oust the French with the aide of their native and Polish allies. I will explore the turbulent early years of the indepedent Empire, Kingdom, and Republic of Haiti as they struggled against the Dominican Republic and internal problems and the payment of millions of Francs in debt to France, finally also the occupation of the United States in 1915 and the subsequent string of dictators, most famously Francois Duvalier or 'Papa Doc' and his son Jean-Jacques Duvalier 'Baby Doc' and the run of unstable elections and internal fighting between their successors, Jean-Bertrand Aristide, René Préval and finally Jovenel Moïse. 0:00 - Intro 2:08 - Taíno (Native) History of Hispaniola. 2:51 - Arrival of the Spanish. 3:39 - Arrival of the French. 4:46 - ;) 5:08 - Slavery in Haiti. 7:29 - Origin of the Mulatto/Gens De Couleur. 8:06 - Revolution. 11:20 - Polish Haitians? 12:30 - Independence. 15:30 - Debt

Afghanistan, after 20 years of war, over a hundred thousand dead and more than a trillion dollars spent by the US and Nato, has this week fallen to the Taliban. This came after the armed group agreed a 'peace deal' with the US in Doha in 2020, their offensive beginning in earnest on the 1st of May 2021. By August, the Taliban were at the gates all the country's provincial capitals and controlled around 70% of its total districts. One by one, Zaranj, Kandahar, Lashkargah, Kunduz, Herat, Mazar-i-Sharif and Jalalabad fell, often with little or no real resistance from the Afghan National Army until only Kabul remained. On the 15th of August, Taliban fighters entered the suburbs and soon overran the capital, on the same day declaring the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan as the former President Ashraf Ghani fled the country and the green-red-black tricolour was torn down from the presidential palace. In this video I address why the Afghan National Armed Forces were so inneffective at stopping the Taliban advance, despite billions of dollars and around 2 decades of training and support from the United States and their allies. I will further look at the role, or lack thereof, of the various warlords such as Ismail Khan, Abdul Rashid Dostum, and Atta Muhammad Noor who were famed for their dogged resistance in the face of the Taliban in the 1990s. Finally, I will look at the strategies employed by the Taliban to grind down their opponents and facilitate the mass surrender of the Afghan National Army as well as how they managed to cripple the government in Kabul.

Tigray is a region in the very north of Ethiopia along the border with its former rival Eritrea. It's been in the news recently as since the 4th November 2020 the Ethiopian Army along with the Eritrean Army have been fighting a campaign against the Tigrayan People's Liberation Front (TPLF) for control over the region. The TPLF were the de-facto power in the entire country until the election of Abiy Ahmed in 2018 greatly upset the balance of power in Ethiopia and drew the country to the brink of civil war.

  • S2021E33 Who are ISIS-K? (Islamic State in Afghanistan) | 5 Minute History Episode 8

    • September 1, 2021

    The most famous Islamist group to emerge from Afghanistan are the Taliban who recently swept to power following a 2 decades long war against the NATO-backed government. However, it isn't the only such group, and as has recently come to light in the attacks at Kabul Airport, IS-K, Islamic St*te - Khorasan Province is still a force to be reckoned with inside the country. In this video find out about this little-known group, their origins, modus operandi and relationship with the Taliban. *Note: At 5:02 when describing the US service people killed I say 'servicemen' however two of the casualties were women so wanted to rectify that here.* Raid the Merch Market: https://teespring.com/en-GB/stores/history-with-hilberts-market Go Fund My Windmills (Patreon): https://www.patreon.com/HistorywithHilbert Join in the Banter on Twitter: https://twitter.com/HistorywHilbert Enter the Fray on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HistorywHilbert/ Indulge in some Instagram..?(the alliteration needs to stop): https://www.instagram.com/historywithhilbert/ Sources: https://www.militarytimes.com/flashpoints/2019/10/04/isis-in-afghanistan-is-still-able-to-field-thousands-of-fighters-despite-hellacious-fight-to-destroy-it/ https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/25/us/politics/isis-terrorism-afghanistan-taliban.html https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/afghanistan/2015-06-11/expanding-caliphate https://www.rferl.org/a/qishloq-ovozi-islamic-movement-uzbekistan-fractured/27395160.html https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/world-58279900 https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2021/08/27/ambitious-new-isis-k-leader-becomes-talibans-wanted-enemy-kabul/ https://www.reuters.com/article/us-afghanistan-taliban-islamic-state-idUSKBN1KA231 https://news.yahoo.com/islamic-state-gaining-ground-afghanistan-un-235952988.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly9lbi53aWtpcGVkaWEub3JnLw&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAKxUXaimHLOkpPKU-gre4SKTSS6GJ4A09j07OKEjYLOdlnZEYREEg4hYKePT5XOabMPOuvVkbeCP

  • S2021E34 What's Happening in the Panjshir Valley? | Anti-Taliban Rebels In Afghanistan 2021

    • September 3, 2021

    The Panjshir Resistance, also known as Second Resistance, Resistance 2, Northern Alliance or National Resistance Force (NRF), is a movement based in Afghanistan's Panjshir Valley and several environs in the surrounding provinces which continue to hold out against the Taliban who swept to power throughout the country in their May 2021 offensive culminating in the Fall of Kabul on 15 August 2021. The Panjshir Resistance are led by Ahmad Massoud, son of the warlord Ahmad Shah Massoud who defended the Panjshir Valley against both Soviet and Taliban aggression in the 1980s and 1990s, and by Amrullah Saleh, the former Vice President and self-proclaimed President of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan. Throughout August the several thousand strong Panjshir Resistance have battled against the Taliban and kept them out of the previously unconquered Panjshir Valley, even expanding their control to several adjacent districts, but how long will their good fortune last, who could support them externally, and what are their longterm aims?

    We've all heard of the Taliban, but another semi-autonomous group to come out of Afghanistan and neighbouring Pakistan is the Haqqani Network, a secretive branch of the Taliban with close ties to Al-Qaeda and who now look to be one of the most powerful groups within its overarching umbrella.

  • S2021E36 Why Are China and the Taliban Becoming Closer?

    Download the free Ground News app at https://ground.news/hilbert to compare more than 50,000 news sources. By threading multiple perspectives from thousands of publications through a neutral platform, Ground News frees people from algorithmic restraints, illuminates blindspots and makes media bias explicit. Following the fall of Kabul and with it the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, the Taliban have been consolidating their power over the country and reaching out to potential friendly nations. One of these is China, the superpower sharing a narrow border with Afghanistan along the Wakhan Corridor and having shared some relations with the Taliban government of the 1990s. Much of the Chinese interest in forging ties with the new rulers of Afghanistan come down to their suppression of Uyghur separatist movements and ensuring the Taliban don't host groups such as ETIM who could then launch attacks into China. In return they would pump money and know-how into Afghanistan, particularly by exploiting the rich mineral resources found in abundance under its mountainous terrain and which for decades have been unreachable due to the presence of the guerrilla Taliban.

Many of these live on today, including the Murrawarri, several members of whom in 2013 came together and declared the independence of the Murrawarri Republic situated on the border of the Australian states of New South Wales and Queensland. Their argument for doing so is that when the British arrived they never defeated the Murrawarri in a war, nor did the Murrawari ever sign any treaty giving ownership over their land to the British or the subsequent Australian government and that therefore the Murrawarri Republic was a state which was 'continually independent' and no officially part of the Australian state at all.

  • S2021E38 How Did Galicia Become Roman? | History of Lugo/Lucus 137 BC - 300 AD

    • September 17, 2021

    As I explained in my previous videos on Iron Age Iberia, the Roman Conquest of Hispania took two centuries to complete, one of the last regions to be conquered being that in the very northwest of the peninsula, the modern province of Galicia and its neighbours. In this video I'll look at the Roman conquest of Galicia, the foundation of its most important city, Lucus Augusti, before exploring the pre-Roman, Celtic etymology and history of Lugo relating to the Celtic God Lugus/Lugos and some related deities in the Roman Pantheon and the Norse Pantheon.

  • SPECIAL 0x22 History with Hilbert on History of Vikings Podcast!

    • April 16, 2018

    So I'm finally on a podcast, and what better one to start with than the History of Vikings Podcast run by Noah Tetzner! In our 45 minute-long discussion we will be tackling the complex issues of why the Viking Age started, the impact of the Vikings in the East in terms of Constantinople and how they were viewed by Muslims of the time as well as the role of the woman and the idea of the shieldmaiden before ending with some of the more commonly used battle tactics of the period both on land and on sea.
