“Do you know how the Normans first came to be? They were Vikings, once…”
I still wish he had won 😢
I think of this part as when history class stopped being fun stories and when you had to start memorising dates 😞
The republican Patriots, inspired by the Savages, allied with the French to get rid of the Stadtholder. They failed at first (because Barry and Hans), but a second time they were successful. Then we became a French satellite republic instead. And then Napoleon came along and we became a satellite kingdom instead to some foreign nepo baby. And when they were all gone Barry and Hans made us a full on absolute monarchy with the son of the last Stadtholder as King.
We nearly bloody had that Frog bastard as well, if it weren’t for some Barrolds getting over-excited and running down the hill too early.
Loving all the 1066 jokes lately. 🤣
Harold had to take a hike through like all of britian in 5 days only to still get fucked in the end…
I always wanted to see a historically authentic show about him or generally about the fate of england set in this time with godwinson, harald and william as main characters that would be dope af.
As for tragic domino effects for my country… there is too many to count lmao. But i would say 1227 when a masovian prince Konrad invited the teutonic order who set in prussia and then became our mortal enemy for like 500 years lol.
If they hadnt settled there they wouldnt have germinsed prussia and then the kingdom of prussia wouldnt have come into being so that means they wouldnt have initiated the partitions of poland so poland could theoretically never have dissapeared from the map. And it also means there is a huge chance without prussia WW1 wouldnt have started. Which also means ww2 wouldnt have started… We can go on forever lol
Rest in Peace dear old Harold. I think it would be fun if the English language was still as Germanic as it used to be
Very pleased to see many fellow r/TheRestIsHistory enjoyers in this sub
A fucking Genoese ( greedy by nature ) sold himself to Spain and stumbled on a new continent, in the process he nerfed his whole birth country’s relevance based on its strategic position in the mediterranean.
Unità d’Italia
The nuclear exit in Germany. We pretty much switched nuclear with solar/wind. Instead of switching coal/gas with solar/wind 🙈🙉🙊
We had starkly rounded 50/50 nuclear and coal/gas, now we have starkly rounded solar/wind and coal/gas
If you believe the history:
“Letting those Germanic pirates settle bits of the coast in exchange for security promises seems like a swell idea with no consequences whatsoever.”

Always a sad story to read. William had perfect timing
What do you mean tragic? The Normans are the only reason you’re not sleeping in swamps, fighting over rock piles and nibbling on bark…
Be neutral for profit, then forced into the Napoleonic wars, so chose French side only to lose Norway as consequence.
Rip my man Harold, the brightest flames burn the shortest.
