I just got my book a few days ago and I’m so very excited to share this with my friends on camping trips and hopefully with my own children some day! It’s been a pleasure looking at the pictures and reading over the subjects. Made me feel like a kid again

Matt is a great teacher, which is a gift. Another excellent overview of a huge timeline and wealth of information.

I just want to say that I love your work. Extraordinary, dude! Please continue :) (and I have everything [book and posters] from your site up to the beginning of this year) I love them all! Thanks again for the great contribution to the world, that is your work!

UsefulCharts, Your videos are fantastic! I just had to subscribe!

One of the best history videos I've seen. Very well structured.

The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth surely deserves more than a blurb. We were the first country in Europe to have religious freedom and a Parliament that kept the Monarch in check.

Such great depiction of all important things .. quick in hand data and information ... So thankful to you for creating these

Love that you included Florence Nightingale on the chart even if she didn't make it into the video. Quite the influencial figure on science, or more specificially statistics and modern medicine.

A masterpiece, so dense and yet so accessible

I have been watching your videos for ages now and I am currently in Vancouver for a few months so I am definitely coming for a visit to the store!

Great work! Thanks!

Your book sounds like a treasure for history lovers!

Good job with this video! I want to point out that the Slavs did not arrive from Asia, but from Eastern Europe (around modern-day Ukraine and Belarus). Also, The First Bulgarian empire lasted for much longer than you show in the chart. It is founded in 681 by refugees from the former Old Great Bulgaria and was annexed in 1018 by East Rome. There is also the second Bulgarian empire which lasted from 1185 - 1396/1422.

Nice, as a Pole for me it will be nice to include in this poster that WE ARE BACK :D

What an absolutely exceptional chart! Congratulations to the designers!

what a useful chart! I can't believe that I find this channel so late.

You have made many videos on different civilizations and people all over the world and they are all interesting. Could you include the Sami culture in Sapmi, northern Scandinavia and Russia. I think it would complement the Germanic culture and how Scandinavia was populated!

Have you considered a European distributor? With digital printing as it is it shouldn’t be too difficult to arrange. I’d love to buy some of your charts, but the shipping from the USA is ridiculously expensive. I can’t justify spending more on shipping that charts actually cost.

Gotta admit this video really did come when I least expected it. I knew it would be a while with the widening gap between individual releases in this series, and then especially after he remastered the Asia video with Rackam I literally stopped thinking about it after a while.

Fascinating, thank you. CJ

You’re awesome Thank you 😊

Can you do a family tree for the Queen's corgis?

What an amazing chart and book.

good work

I wish you were shipping to other places besides Canada and the US :( In any case, i love your videos so much! Today we had a company hang out, and a group of us were talking about history. At some point, i mentioned your channel, and people subscribed immediately :)

I just ordered my chart I'm so excited, 🎉🎉

6:53 Slavs and Avars from Asia?! Since when?

So useful!!

So good 🔥

Interesting charts!

Damn loved this

Poland doesn't exist anymore, I didn't know... 😢

I like the way you kept the 100 years at equal intervals (no compression of time). I do prefer the AD vs CE though.

One small change I'd make for the Dutch Republic is to begin their existence around 1588, because the reason the Netherlands so quickly dominated the spice trade was because Portugal and Spain were united. This made it so the Dutch weren't only fighting the Spanish, but also the Portuguese, thus giving the Dutch a reason to take over the trading posts and colonies established by the Portuguese.

Thanks for another great video. Does your book being shipped worldwide or just to Europe or North America?

There is something weird going on, that makes it looks like Austria hungary survived until WWII

What a great visualization of one of the most important areas in human history. You cover so much in such a little space.

I would also add about the almost complete Ottoman, and what would have probably been Islamic expansion into Europe, stopped by the Kingdom of Poland (+ HRE) Stopped at the Battle of Vienna 12 Sept 1683, its also noted as the largest cavalry charge in history As well as casually being the turning point of a 300 year struggle between the Ottomans and the Austrian Habsburg I'd say pretty significant in European history The book looks amazing though!

6:55 Avars, Bulgars and also Khazars were direct offshoots of the Huns so were the other Oghur Turkic tribes of the Pontic Steppe ; Akatziri, Onogur, Utigur, Kutrigur, Saragur, Sabir,...

Awesome video and chart. Just One correction though. Louis XVI of France was not the grandson of Louis XIV (the sun king). Louis XIV outlived his heir and HIS heir and was followed by his great-grandson Louis XV, who also outlived his heir, to be followed by his grandson Louis XVI (who was killed in the french revolution). So it's a total of not three but six generations. Also: thanks for including the little detail of the two separated parts of Germany. It was an "interesting" century for us xD

I thought it was interesting that you failed to mention Ireland at all when your section title was Britain/Ireland it makes it seem like they existed together until Irish independence mentioned at the bottom. Also, Scotland just appears out of nowhere without mention of previous civilizations like the Picts.

Thanks for the wonderful chart and great explanation. One thing I'd like to say is that at 14:49, Dutch war of Independence was during 1566~1648. So the [Dutch Republic] begins one hundred years earlier than this chart. And the Dutch Golden Age is during mid-1600s and is to be before the War of the Spanish Succession. One of the reason of the decline of the Dutch Golden Age is thought to be the Dutch involvement of the War of the Spanish succession. So after the War of the Spanish Succession, Dutch Republic existed for a while but its influence was greatly diminished.

If you like this, check out "Chronology of the World" by Isaac Asimov (famous for his science fiction writing).

You’ve neglected to mention the 12th Century Renaissance in Iberia.

id really like to see you do a video on the Pitcairn islands and how they decent from the mutineers of the bounty

Love your videos :). What software do you use to make family trees? I would like to make my own but there are so many of them and couldn’t find one that fits me. Thank you.

These overviews of history are so compelling! I am mostly interested in the global and European timelines--the ones I find engaging in light of my ethnic heritage and my current intellectual interests. I understand history soooo much better by beginning with a birds-eye summary. And I deeply resent the perforated patchwork, ahistorical hopscotch, mortally censored mess called history we were given from about 5th grade through 12th (ages 10 to 18). We were farcically expected to see some sequential logic in this story, shredded-and-taped-into-brain-glazing incoherence though it was. Only now, 63 years later, am I stumbling through an organized chronicity with conterminous geography, offering the scaffolding of this thing I now treasure--An understanding of civilization. I still long to fill in many details--but this no-nonsense outline, even in its brevity, offers a grasp of origins, salient milestones, watersheds of great import and moments of pivotal change. I can tell myself, anyway, which meanings are concordant with which developments, and what future purposes can be wrought of history's grand sweep of endeavors, events, ideas, disasters and achievements. It's a journey that could actually head toward a happy ending, at least if people of good will win the day, and we're not collateral in the ambitions of Putin, Xi Jinpeng, Trump, Assad or Lukashenko.

Good video

Very cool stuff! recover soon!

I have been meaning to buy your limited edition British Royal family tree, but I've been hesitating because I wondered if it might be updated with King Charles III? If not, I intend to get it anyway, but I didn't want to miss my chance to have an up-to-date one.

Would be nice to see one like this of the continent America (north and south)

Is a history of science timeline on usefulcharts? I search but not found what i look for. I am interested in how science appeared as we know it today and who and when contributed to its development. I am also interested in a parallel with the discoveries and researchers from ancient China.

Please make more Who Wrote the Bible? videos! For instance, one on the Samaritan Torah (more akin to the Book of Mormon video for that though).

Very good. Slavs however don't belong to group of those migrating from Asia. It's about the same time (Actually Avars made the push to move Slavs) but their place of origin is on the border of current Belarus and Ukraine. Far from Asia, yet place often overlooked You actually have the blue vs orange map - and there where those two population end on the East - Balts (north) ans Slavs (center) lived

12:45 I know it’s a bit picky, but during the bubonic plague the speculation is around a third than half of the population. I know it differs from 20 to 50 million people, even so the most historians assume it’s around 20-25 million people and about the third of the population at that time.

There's also the European history poster chart, which also covers European history.

I would love a chart of European cultures from the paleolithic aurignacian culture to the bronze age minoans. If that is to large of a time span you could start in the neolithic with the Yamnaya, EEF and WHG.

mmm... Polish lack of reappearance doesn't make sense. Moreover it's line should be bit more prominent... almost like France's (I am not Polish, just considering it from point of its prominence in Europe)

In the guitar world there's two different shape cutaways, mostly identifiable on the les Paul. The florentine and the Venetian. Do you know any stories about the stringed instrument rivalry that went on between these states at this time?

Great! However, the Slavs didn't arrive from Asia. They formed in the Danube or the Dnieper region that are wholly in Europe.

Whats your Source for the first Habsbuger King ?I am living in a City that was esthabilished 1296 as a free Reichsstadt (Self-Governance Rights) by Rudolf the first from Habsburg, if you have book you could recommend id love it. thanks for this Video great Work

I love how the history of Rome just seems like a small part of european history with everything else going on. And I am going insane making the roman succession tree. My life is consumed by it right now ^^'

My copy is winging its way across the ocean to Wales as you speak!

I have a question relating to lines of successions. What if a King has twins. They would be both the oldest descendant of the monarch. Who would legally inherit the throne if the king dies and didn't have the time to appoint a successor? Thanks.

This book and the mini charts look amazing! Just put it in my Amazon cart!

Where is Portugal after 1640 to this date? Portuguese came to become the 3rd most spoken European language as a native language. I think this chart made a monumental mistake, even by Anglo Saxon standard. Please CORRECT the chart!

3:05 IUU wouldn't have EVER guessed Gaul was Modern Day France! I watched a Civ VI vid and saw what looked like a Celtic/Irish leader. His name was Amiborix and until this video, didn't know that but seeing his name now, I get why. Thanks UC for this discovery

My wife got me the book for Father’s Day. I recommend it for anyone watching these videos.

One big problem, you do not tie up Rus with Vikings/Norse which is the same, Rus came from Roslagen/Roden (little north of Stockholm)

A small correction: Rurik was either not a Scandinavian, or he did not exist at all, since Rus was mentioned long before the 9th century

Technically Norway was Mostly independent from 1814 Sweden-Norway was Just on foreign policy. something which Norwegian politicians at the time hated the end of the union with Sweden started when Norway tried to start up their own consulates in the 1880s. Military was independent from the Swedish military.

I wish you delivered to Australia :(

Can you do a chart of the Romanian monarchy ?

Italy was unified in 1861, not 1871. In 1866 joined Veneto and in 1870 Rome. But the union was in '61.

One quick note: the Roman Empire in the east lasted until 1453 when Constantinople fell to the Turks. The reason I say this is the term Byzantine Empire was unknown to those living in the eastern Roman Empire. Even up the fall of Constantinople they would never have called or considered themselves to Byzantine, they were Roman.

This map is not available as a poster or?

Turks indeed had a decisive role in triggering historical major events like the Migration Period, Crusades, Age of Discovery as well as ending the Middle Ages with the conquest of Constantinople, fall of the Eastern Roman Empire.

Hello can you make a trace Philippines royalty?. balangay era like rajah sultan datu?

*1861 for Italy, 1871 for Germany

did Sophocles (playright) get corrected to playwright?

Any idea when the book will be back in stock?

Will you be doing slight alterations to the British monarchs family tree now Charles is king?

Wasn't the Rus formed primarily by Norsemen?

I thought a group of Norse people were the settlers/founders of the Kiev Rus kingdom.

Why did the line of Portugal ended after the Iberian union? The way its done makes it seem like Portugal no longer exists. I understand that space is important, but other smaller countries are still there.

Switzerland and Liechtenstein simply did not give a shit in all of these.

14:08: It's probably a mistake to omit Austria's _Anschluss_ (q.v. @Wikipedia), which while undone upon the defeat of Nazi Germany, wasn't all that fleeting but of significant political consequence - and of course Hitler was actually Austrian (first).

This is so unrelated but when I play football manager, i manage AS Roma. My goal is turn this club into a Dynasty. Dominating European football, just like the Roman Empire dominated Europe. I call it the “Roman Empire” challenge.

These are not avilable anymore?

This is so interesting

Please make the korean samsung’s group family tree

12:19: "Norweigan" is a typo. The correct spelling is Norwegian.

Kievan Rus and Kingdom of Ruthenia just slipped into first prince of Moscow und eventually Russia. impressive

please do burmese monarch chart

How would the Etruscan civilization fit on the chart?

Finno- Ugric tribes according to Herodotus were indigenous people in land of modern Moscowy 500 BCE- 1240 AD --> After Mongol-Tatar horde invasion it was "Ulus of Jochi" 1242-1502 AD --> Tsardom of Moscowy 1547-1721 AD --> Russian empire 1721-1917 AD --> USSR 1922-1991 AD --> russian federation 1991

Portugal doesn't re-emerge from the union with Spain?

Ok of my teachers has two of your charts In her classroom
