The ENTIRE History of Europe in 14 Minutes

Europe was never really a place. It was an idea, named after a princess from Asia who never set foot on it. For 2,500 years, Rome, Charlemagne and Napoleon tried to unite it with the sword, and every time the map broke apart again. So how did a continent that conquered the world and then nearly destroyed itself finally choose to unite by agreement? This documentary explores the complete history of Europe, from the myth of Europa and the first humans, Lascaux and Ötzi the Iceman, to Athens and Cleisthenes, the Battle of Salamis, the Roman Empire under Augustus and Trajan, the fall of the Western Roman Empire, Charles Martel and Charlemagne, the Vikings, the Great Schism of 1054, the sack of Constantinople, the Black Death, the fall of Constantinople in 1453, Gutenberg's printing press, Columbus, Martin Luther and the Reformation, the Thirty Years' War and the Peace of Westphalia, the French Revolution, Napoleon and Waterloo, the colonial empires and the Atlantic slave trade, the First and Second World Wars, the Holocaust, the Iron Curtain, the Schuman Declaration, the Berlin Wall, the Yugoslav wars, the European Union, the euro and Brexit. Discover where the border of Europe really is, why Europe kept splitting along the same lines, and how the coal and steel of its wars became the start of a union.

Some visual scenes are illustrated with the help of AI to bring the story to life while remaining faithful to the historical record. #Europe #EuropeanHistory #HistoryOfEurope #RomanEmpire #Charlemagne #MiddleAges #BlackDeath #Constantinople #Reformation #Napoleon #FrenchRevolution #WorldWar1 #WorldWar2 #ColdWar #BerlinWall #EuropeanUnion #History #WorldHistory #HistoryDocumentary #Documentary
