A marriage between Irene and Charlemagne that would in essence ressurect the Roman Empire...that’s honestly such a cool ‘’what if’’ of history !

As a big fan of history and a life long learner I can’t express how much I appreciate these. Mind blowing how much quality historical content there is on KZfaq. Thank you.

Just flipped my chicken fingers in the oven. Got me a drink. Looong week of work and whatnot. Got the doc ready to go. Best way to unwind on a Friday night.

You are some of the few channels that actually go into FULL DEPTH and dont just glance over parts that you find bad, like others. you make long length videos and try to pack everything that happened into one simple and easily understandable video. wonderful! ur my favorite history channel. God Bless you

I watch these documentaries (or rather lectures) with an increasing interest and like many others find them far more instructive than often years of study of history at school. I am Polish and would love to see an episode dedicated to my country.

He was an Emperor, she was an Empress Need I say more ❤️

La France est un pays avec une grande histoire. Merci beaucoup pour ce vidéo!

Love you France . love from your old friend Scotland

And france built 2 overseas colonial empires. The first reached its apex during the reign of Louis 14. The second was built during the reign of Napoleon III. (The second french colonial empire was also the second largest colonial empire after british empire)

I love the fact that France has an Atlantic coast and a Mediterranean coast, very lucky European country. From the Gauls in the time of Julius Caesar to modern France, a long and eventful journey for this modern European nation.

Finally a channel where the narrator speaks clearly and not fast. Thank you. And the content is amazing as well.

Thanks man, I always love that kind of documentaries. Seeing how nations and empires come and go to let room for new nations has always been something fascinating for me.

Finally!!! This is what we've been waiting for😍 good job ! I can't wait until the next video

Thier country and culture, food and wine, pastries and architecture, thier language and romance; and thier women, WTF'S not to love ? I'm in love with France. Since childhood.

Jumped at this! Thank you for making such a wonderfully detailed documentary that didn't just gloss over the "dark ages" and high middle age history. Fantastically done!

I love the detailed sounds you have started using!! 👍👍 Very great video to help with my book on the house ofLusiganan, and Dreux-Montfort! Also take shot every time Fluer- de-Lis appears

Thank you for this gift on Friday! Vive La France 🇫🇷

my name is Jean Francois De'Sablon and I thank you for this portrayal of our history, may God bless you and all your future endeavors!

Wow thank you so much for this dude, been looking for a video like this forever and here it is in my recomended. Liked and subscribed ❤️ you gained a new fan

I'm part French and it's awesome seeing your documentaries about France. I'm also part Dutch so it would be interesting to see a video about the Netherlands one day.

Vive La France! Vive la magnifique langue francaise!

I can’t stress just how good these documentaries are

Another video that im gonna watch 20 times. Cheers Fire of Learning!

Yay another great documentary! You should do the Scandinavian countries next! When people say the French are a nation that surrenders, and loses a lot of wars need to check Frances score card. They have won a lot more than they have lost, and this “French surrendering meme” that’s going around is kind of pointless. You simply can’t judge a nations entire history on one battle in 1940, which most “Americans” do anyway. They’re like any nation and have had its fair share of losses, but it’s not to the extent that people make it out to be. The French have always had a top grade army and military. It’s simply poor and ineffective leadership at certain times that plagued its military from conducting effective campaigns and wars.

Great video. Can't wait for the next part(s). I'm currently in Paris filming a lot about the history of France. Going to release the videos soon

Thank you so much for providing these thoroughly researched, succinct documentaries! I'm challenging myself with historical, cultural, and language learning of 2 European countries per month over the next year, so these are super helpful :)

Thank you so much for the little noise when there’s pop up info. I often to half listen and half watch these as I do other things and it’s a great little idea that helps guarantee I and others like me don’t miss things. 😁

Great video!! Can't wait for number 2! Also, a suggestion for another video topic that I would like to propose is the Affair of Poisons. Great stuff.

Fire of Learning 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 This Channel is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 1 of the Best on KZfaq. I love your Format & how you Edit in all of these Historical Photos instead of wild animations

Duuuude. You should definitely cover ALL European Countries then after that do a separate "History of Europe" video to follow up on all of it !!!! That'd be DOPE bro. & I haven't seen Nobody come close to doing that especially the way you do it. But ESPECIALLY Denmark , Norway , Sweden , Austria & The Netherlands !!!!! I want to see YOU do those Countries. You'd do them properly but if you just look around there's Not Many good Historical Videos on those Countries like there is for Germany , or Britain ETC.

Another great vid in my favorite series! (History of nations).

I come back to this documentary every few months. So much great info in here and well presented. I’m a history nerd but all of your videos are great refreshers for my memory.

The amount of times these videos must take to make must be insane. Thumbs up to every video and subscribes! Great content!

Nice channel, i'm surprised of such precision for such lengh of France's history you reviewed in 1 hour. No useless details just what it takes to get a clear understanding of the history. I even learned a bit more on my own country

Great work. Thanks for the info. Love the little sound bites for wars and stuff

Great video! I like the little fun facts and sound effects that you add throughout the video,

Simply the best. Outstanding, awesome and superb presentation. You flow throughout centuries of History of France with a breathtaking ease. Well done and congratulations. 👍 Merci Beaucoup

I really love French history. Superb video!

I have never heard the time of Charlemagne illuminated in a way that made this much sense. The way you tell this story is much easier to understand than others I've seen. Excellent video throughout... thank you.

Such a complete, precise and detailed video, at this rate, the rest of french History will require two other videos. 😀

History of Spain next! Complete the Western half of the continent.

When you win more wars than every other nation but everyone jokes about you surrendering in ww2 *Sad baguette noises*

Just discovered this chanel and I simply loved it! I love history in general and it's a pleasure to find this kind of content. Loved the documentary and must watch the other videos of this chanel!

Ow my golly. Yeeeees! Been waiting for this since the English history. Thanks thanks. :)

Merci! I loved your Germany history docu and already watched it several times. I've been hoping for one on France. Maybe one on Spain in the future? 🤞 Thank you! Please keep doing your thing 😀

This is a fine work, with a lot of good details. :-) Easy to enjoy. (-:

Thanks for the hard work. Appreciate the info. 😃

Thank you for this. I have been searching for documentaries on the earliest traceable history and the earliest kings of Europe and I found them here. I became interested in France when I watched Samuel Theis as Louis XIV. ❤

Thanks, my dude. I really look forward for ur content.

A well explained introduction to French history that could tickle the interest of few curious. Great accent too ! Thank you for the detailed lesson.

Dude, The art pieces used throughout the video are gorgeous! have to pause for a minute to soak it all in lol

Amazing vid, keep the good work 👍🏻

I am Indian. We have the history of France and Europe in our history book so I came to watch this video.

Great video as always, man. Very excited for the upcoming History of Russia!

Great video as always, dude.

This channel is fantastic. Thank you

Yay you're finally doing France!!

I can’t believe that we’re able to watch documentaries like this for free

Thank you, very informative. The narrator is entertaining too!

Fantastic historical narrative; thank you!

So good, best doc about France on KZfaq. Thank you so much Fire of Learning.

love all your videos you guys are doing such a great work! are you planning on doing Italy? It'd be great, no one ever does it in depth and it's so full of amazing characters and conflict.

Thank you for making these

Congratulations for this wonderful documentary. Merci.

when the history of france is so rich they never got past the 1400s

A history of Castile/Spain would be much appreciated.

Another superb history channel.

Literally watched this entire video lol absolutely love Frankish history!!! Keep the videos a comin’!

Hahah “Meaning Charles the Straightforward; not moron!” Love how you mumbled that same thing when I tell my friends about him. Also there’s Louis V or Louis “Do-Nothing,” because he was on for such a long time, not meaning lazy. Also because he didn’t produce heir! Haven’t watched all the yet but congrats on another stellar documentary, this will be a good aid for some historical fiction novel that has to do with France! Merci Beaucoup pour la vidéo!

"Impossible" in French is the same word.

Great vid!

Thanks for this video. Greetings from France 🇫🇷

rome and persia fought for so long in the middle east that in the long run were unable to stop the caliphate and were Both destroyed

Never pressed the play button so fast!

This channel is amazing. Thank you

I think this is my 5th, possibly 6th time watching this video..... THANK YOU for making such awesome videos!!!! 😊👍

Thank you so much I have been waiting for this!!! You are the GREATEST documentor I have come across please don't ever stop doing this!!! Let me know if you agree??

I've been watching your videos for a while now and I'm glad you're now covering my country's history extensively. Though I've been wondering, how long approximately does it take you to put together such a well-crafted video?

Good work, mate 💪🏾

Very informative video! Thank you!

I would love to see a similar History of Poland. But I loved this as well! A great documentary!

Your videos are detailed and do the complex political history of Europe justice instead of just making sweeping generalisations, especially regarding the early medieval period.

Truly excellent! Thank you!!!

brilliantly concise, well done.

I can't wait for the History Of Russia, and China.

So many memories from your Docs on England!! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

🙏 thank you 🙏 please do many many more!

More Fire of Learning, hell yeah

I wouldn’t give Louis the Pious such a minor role in history. Yes, he was not a warrior at heart, but he was determined to keep the state intact with its force. Before being Emperor, he had already seized Barcelona from the Umayyads as a commander. As Emperor, he would reform the army and the navy, plus consolidating the vast empire instead of renewed campaign, which was a necessity by this point. The birth of a new son, Charles (later known as “the Bald”), created tension between Louis’ sons. Before, they were mostly content with their inheritance, but this new brother was seen as a breaking of the status quo (a concern for the titles they would receive), which lead to their rebellion. Initially, Louis had the upper hand as a commander and as the emperor himself. Most of the population supported him, and the infighting between his sons never really allowed them to agree on the outcomes of war. Eventually, they were successful, forcing Louis to abdicate. However, again, infighting ensued and he was able to regain his throne through treachery between his sons (Louis the German would switch sides and honor his father, allowing him to regain the throne again). He dealt major defeats to his disobedient sons in the end, but due to his pious nature (especially towards his family, though not to rebellious common nobleman, as he was quite cruel in nature for such things), he spared his sons on all occasions. Due to this, and the fact that they were definitely not in a militarily advantageous state as before, submitted to their father and obeyed all commands afterwards, never to rebel again. Louis the Pious, though known for the many crisis that occurred during his reign, stabilized the internal structure of the country, kept his rivals at bay, and led the country to notable victories for the time. Also, he was, just as his father Charlemagne, recognized as Emperor, as he had requested to be crowned after he gained the throne.

That Napoleon quote was just awesome.

Nice one, thank you !

I seriously can not wait for part two.

Literacy in Charlemagne’s Court benefitted from the presence of Alcuin of York.

*Philip IV sees the Templars* Also Philip IV: "It's free real estate"

I love your videos. Could you make sometime video about ,,modern history"? From france revolution till today :D. The biggest events etc. It could be fun.

I will watch this twice. Thanks!

I love this video but I’ll admit it is a bit misleading because it only goes up to 1300 when yet it has Napoleon on the thumbnail

Asterix, Obelix, Panoramix etc. ….Is there anything else about France's history ?

Brilliant! Can't beat a history documentary. Nerd and proud haha

i love your content!
