The Middle Ages are often thought to have been dark and backward times. Was it really like that?
Many interesting, events happened during these times. Empires like Byzantium have risen and fallen, kingdoms like France or England fought deadly wars and plagues like Black Death devastated the landscape several times.
Video is a satire. It shows how past conflicts may have looked like in a humorous way - countryballs animation

The fact that on the black death scene he included that Poland was not affected a lot is so funny but also cool
Every time i was playing Crusaders Kings 2 as Poland Black Death didn't affect me a lot. I am happy creator of this game aplied this
Poland got so lucky with that XD
It was because our infrastructure was so bad. Roads were one of the worst in Europe and Poland hadn't got a lot of big cities where black death developed. Also Poland hadn't got a lot of merchants so noone could bring it.
@@Dreaming_Cat404 no. It was because of polands king who didnt let anyone inside and made them wait for a couple of days in front of the gate if they were ill they were not let in if not they were allowed to go inside
I have once again realised how appealing this style of country balls is. I just feel happy when I see it.
countryballs look so soft i just wanna hold them gently in my arms and squeeze
Yeah, same.
pretty cool
Yeah it genuinely pleases me. It sort of reminds me of a cartoon i would of seen when i was 5. Plus the animations are soooo smooth
It matches the PolandBall comic style.
The videos are getting better and better each time, this one being as glorious as the medieval stories themselves! Greaté job!
Greate job

That would be pretty easy, just kill phocas before he kills emperor maurice.
Phocas was a mistake for humanity yet he wasn't insane
Much better.

Fun fact: Hungary actually had limited deaths of the black death and it mainly only affected a sixth of the population of Timișoara.
I really didn't notice how smooth this animation is.
0:58 That is widely disputed that Polish population wasn't majorly decreased during the black death. It is based on 1960's research that didn't find any clear medieval documents about the plague in Poland. Of course, only because that specific research did not find documents, does not mean Poland wasn't badly hurt. For the same reason, it was initially thought that Bohemia wasn't hurt from the Black Death, until they find documents that confirmed that. More recent researches with more sophisticated methods, indicate that Poland wasn't as badly hurt as other European nations.
Good job! Keep up the great work
i've been waiting for ages... it was worth it
Long awaited video great job!
I love how Native Americans showed Spanish colonizers how to harvest wheat and catch fish, and in return Spanish colonizers stole they're Wealth and introduced them to smallpox killing most of them 💀... Great Video i've been waiting for it since first trailer on DC.
There was no wheat in America and also the Europeans already knew how to harvest and cultivate since Neolithic. But still thanks for donating to this channel. 💀
@@aleografics311 ok but they taught them their ways, and i wasn't sure what exactly they taught them to harvest so i used wheat.
Thanks for donating! Also yes, the video took some time to make, I really hope more people can enjoy it's quality.
BREAKING NEWS: In a turn of events, Tortoise has finally uploaded!
Honey, wake up polish tortoise posted
I love the Musics of Farya Faraji used in this video countryballs. It's just beautiful
you know its a good day when polish tortoise posts
Tx for your art, Tortoise ❤ (just a precision : coat of arms of House Capet is, indeed, blue with fleur-de-lis, but the flag of the realm was white with (more) fleur-de-lis). I can add than Merovingians and Carolingians kings use also blue and gold flowers, but kings or houses coats are not the same thing as national colors. We could compare that with England : national flag is red st.george cross on white, House coat would be, for Lancaster, the red rose)
Khalid ibn walid: check me out Check me out Persia and the Byzantine:
Lol

Nice video. Your style is very nice and i have already draw a lot of coutryballs on paper with your style and i think that i succeeded and that if i did it in a different style i would not have succeeded. i hope you don't mind me drawing coutryballs in your style. I hope you will continue to make these videos because i really enjoy them.
