In our previous historical animated documentaries we have covered the Cimbrian War, and although the Roman empire was a clear victor, the conflicts between the Romans and the Germanic tribes continued well into the imperial era. During the reign of Augustus, the Romans expanded beyond the Rhine river and that led to one of the most iconic battles in history - the battle of the Teutoburg Forest

Great video as always, but I have a quick question: You estimate the figure to be 30,000 Romans with Varus yet there were only 3 Legions which would normally be approximately 15,000. How were those Legions made up? Also FYI you placed Tiberius in Crete and not Rhodes.
What is the logic(explanation) behind the name Armenius?
The man who dares steal these eagle standards shall loose his head.

Hello Pete.
Quintili Vare, legiones redde!
I can only imagine the horror these legions went through. I'm in the military myself and was stationed in Italy for a few years. A lot of training in the alps and Germany. Been to many of these locations and we would talk about it on guard at night. Looking out at the sea of endless trees. Dark, foggy, damp and cold. Just imagining being a Roman Soldier looking into those woods thinking there are thousands of warriors in there waiting to rip my heart out . And this is their backyard.
You think that was bad you should hear about the Romans who went there 6 years later to find the bodies, let's just say it was well documented
@@ciaranmck4469 you got sources on it ? I'd like to read it

Pretty much!
@ParadoxInteractivePlay prote-old german i belive
Pre-Proto-Germanic and Proto-Germanic had evolved into the West Germanic, East Germanic and North Germanic Dialects by the Common Era. The Cherusci, were West Germanic and Ingvaeonic(Old Saxon/Low German, Old Frisian/Frisian Languages, Old English/English); ultimately forming into one of the contingents of the Saxon People(s), by 300 AD. They are lost to History after that. Cherusci, could come from either/or or both Ancient Germanic roots of *Herut(Hart/Modern English: Deer) and *Heru(Old English: Heoru/Modern English: Sword).
Usually, I hate to waste food for some random trolls, but, oh boy, I had a good laugh! Whatever you'd try to prove: In 9 AD the language the Cherusci spoke was a Germanic one (Pliny actually connected them with the Erminonic group), although it's considered Proto-Germanic, we may already assume slowly diverged dialectal forms (see Ingvaeones, Istvaeones, Erminones) or at least first traces of an early West Germanic. *Segimêriz (Segimerius), *Ingwamêriz (Inguiomerus), *Harjamêriz (Chariomerus) still show the Proto-Germanic ê, three centuries later *Hnôdomâri / *Wadomâri / *Suomâri, *Swâmâri? (Chnodomarius 357, Vadomarius 361, Suomarius 4th century), thus the process of the West Germanic lowering of ê to â might have appeared between the first and fourth century. Old High German is a term introduced in the 19th century, it describes a dialectal continuum which took part in the second sound shift (6th to 8th century) and obviously separated from the Old Low German continuum (Old Saxon, Old Low Frankish), within itself O.H.G never was a singular language, but still people mistake it, comparing it to the late standardized Modern German language (Dachsprache). O.H.G as well as Middle High German and in fact New High German have always been collective terms. The O.H.G period stretched roughly from the 7th/8th to the 11th century. (The 2. sound shift might have started in the 6th century, there's not much evidence though. Butilinius (*Butilîn) an Alamannic duke in the mid 6th century, in other sources the same name appears as Buccelenus (*Buzzilîn), which clearly indicates the second sound shift. It's considerable, that you'll bring up the so called Nordwestblock hypothesis by Hans Kuhn, who implies, that Cherusci as Chatti as well derived from an unknown people that might have lived there at the lower Rhine along the coast in modern day Netherlands and Belgium, probably 1. another nameless Indo-European branch or 2. a small remnant of a pre-Indo-European / Old European people. Connected with the Belgae people, who are seen as those candidates, during Caesar's time, he described the Belgae unspecifically as a confederation of mixed Celtic and Germanic tribes. For some cases, I find it quite interesting, that the Istvaeonic/Iscvaeonic group (which later built the ground for the tribal federation of the Franks) along the Rhine appears somewhat secluded. Whether do we know what the name of the Istvaeones ment (Ist-/Isc-, depending on the reading of the remaining medieval copies of Taciti Germania, in the Carolingian minuscle c and t sometimes had a similar shape, especially in this case c after the long s = ſ , the connecting line is usually drawn from the hook downwards) - nor do we know what exactly separated them from the Erminones and Ingvaeones.
@New Jones ,you act as if you hover above us all. Sorry to state, but your education is meaningless without understanding. Do you know the meaning of the previous statement, , or do you fail to recognize it?
Note: I made a huge mistake at 5:40 showing Tiberius in Crete than Rhodes and also, Actium at the very beginning. . A Thousand apologies for that.

I see you everywhere
One intresting fact is, that due to the heavy rain the roman schields were soaked and to heavy to fight which deprived them of their first defense line
Good note!
Not to mention strong winds along with rain, which made the roman shields acted like sails.
Indeed. I don't remember if there were archers present there but if they were, the bows would have been useless as well.
Basically; the Roman legions were incredibly effective if they could fight in the open under good conditions. These weren’t good conditions.
@@bkjeong4302 They were strung out and lost the significant advantage of the mass pila barrage, which did a lot to shatter the morale of the enemy. Though I never pictured the Romans as being inherently at a disadvantage out of open combat, after all, they had a LOT of experience in siege battles, which outnumbered open field battles by a wide margin.
Germania, the Roman Vietnam.
@@kikebautista2110 Yup, and in the long run it proved to be as effective as the Great Wall of China. Plus what imigration do you mean? The Gothic, Visigothic and Vandal invasions? :D
@@kikebautista2110 What I meant to say with the Great Wall analogy way, that the Romans built up a devensive line over territory hardly worth fighting for. The Limes may have been deffendable but it locked down many troops that could have been used elsewhere. I didn't mean that it was a bad fortification, I meant that ultimately, it cost way more than what it brought in return. As with any antique empire, it became a necessity for Rome to expand to keep the influx of goods the citizens desired. The further away they got from from the core of their realm, the less effective these conquered territories became (more on that later). Rome might have "had the might to conquere Germania" but that's irrelevant as long as they can't hold it afterwards, which was the case for a long time. Subduing that region would've been madness: the people there were most of the time self-sufficient and didn't necessarrily have the means/experience to join the Roman vassalage by trading of surpluss they didn't produce. Plus pinning them down, even integrating them would've taken immense manpower and funds. This is why the Empire so often colonised its outer rims by settling down tribes it had entered an alliance with. I don't agre with the idea of weighing short-term power against long-term sustainability. So immigratipn is a funny concept in this context. Wether you put apart ethnicities or those with or without citizenship, the kingdom/republic/empire had always been diverse. It is however not surprising, that as a nation grows and incorporates more peoples, it becomes more prone to fracturing along ethnic borders. Although blaming "non-roman" romans for the fall of their empire is sonething I find odd. Infighting had fractured Rome on multiple ocasions and I firmly believe that the only reason we are not looking on them with rhe same eye is vecause theye weren't the last such internal conflicts. There were numerous civil wars and political betrayals during the centuries, yet we only view the fall with such scrutuny, which I believe is unjust.

Fun fact: Due to this battle, Creative Assembly gave German and Holy Roman Empire generals at the start of their respective Rome Total War and Medieval Ii Total War, traits that made them better in ambushes.
See, I had no idea!
Not without reason, this was one of the best ambushes ever
What I like about this channel's battle animations is the visible damage to the unit indicators and the busting glass sound when they are destroyed. That's pretty cool.
Rome 2 total war
@@jamiejamie9549I don’t think he is talking about those animations
Arminius reminds me Scanderbeg (George Kastrioti). Both were taken as hostages and raised by foreign empires. Both escaped and led a rebellion. Both won battles against powerful superpower empires at their peak of might.
Yeah, I can see the similarities.
Arminius didn't escape. He was a Roman Citizen, and a commander of the same army he destroyed.
@@neutronalchemist3241 1. He wasnt commander, he was just advisor of commander 2. Scanderbeg also was a janissary and citizen of Ottoman Empire (muuuch more softer towards conqured nations than roman empire)
@@stevenpaddybwoy Arminius' brother, Flavus, served in the legion like him, he kept on fighting under Tiberius vs his brother, and was even granted a meeting with Arminius first than the battle of Weser. The two had to be separated by the legionaries after Arminius mocked Flavus' Roman decorations he gained during the campaign in Illiricum.
It‘s because it is basically the same story that got copied all over Europe. Literature and not history. It cannot be traced back from where this story originally comes from. Though it might go back to a core story that really happened it is totally unclear whether it goes back to roman times or not and whether it happened at all.
It’s great to visit the actual site north of Münster. There are four museums in total dedicated to the battle. One displayed the entire Roman Entourage in playmobil figures.
Great work, I love watching these

What a masterpiece of a battle. A combination of guerilla, choke point and kill zone ambush tactics, paired with deliberate use of terrain and weather conditions.
It helps when you have a traitor spy who can literally tell the enemy to walk into your death trap.
Except revenge was a bitch.
Hello sir, remember when I suggested and requested if you can make a video about this? I cannot believe that you really did it, I'm so thankful to you for this, God bless and love you channel! Thanks a lot, I cannot put it in words

All of the battles will get covered, it is just a matter of time
@@dominiksucic2206 i totaly agree.
I hate to quibble Kisaji, but it does look like you did put it down in words!
@@siechamontillado I'm talking about my feelings when I said that
In a book called "Decisive battles" by Geoffrey Regan, he concludes his narrative of the battle with what impact it had on the future development of the area. This victory meant a symbol for the germanic tribes, that Rome is not invincible. Their attempt to move the borders permanently failed and Germania was never colonized as Gaul had been. If it had been thus colonized - would the germanic tribes later become pacified? And never start their raids and invasions of the empire and Rome itself which were one of the causes of the collapse of the Western Roman Empire? Would actually Rome fall? If you think about it - if this battle ended in a different way, the course of the history would be so different, that reason cannot fully accept the possible consequences.
In your theory you forget the huns, which was the main cause the germanic tribes started to move southward at once. They feared the huns more than the romans.
Huns,Vandals and Visigoths actually came from further East. Also the Franks were German people who settled in Gaul and that's where France gets it's name from.
The Romans could’ve conquered Germania if they wanted, but the cost would be too high….unlike Gaul which was very flat and open, Germania was dense swampy forests with some flat plains for agriculture which is not ideal for Roman style of combat….Germania also didn’t offer the resources that Gaul did….plus Germanic tribes were far less untied and “civilized” than the gaulic people so Rome couldn’t use politics and alliances to assimilate the tribes nearly as well
Yes, If Rome had totally defeated Germania - perhaps Hitler would not have happened; but then Rome was already top-heavy and overstretched and would have collapsed eventually, as it did later. -
@@HartmutJagerArt what?
This is why you always need to quick save before moving your armies in unknown territory
Fun Fact: Meanwhile Augustus inner bodyguard, was completely composed of...german mercenaries.
Incredible video. sometimes i find real history hard to believe, this makes game of thrones look like childs play. i cant help but to imagine myself to be in that legion as they are ambushed, lost, fighting through mud hundreds of miles from home.
Very interesting piece of history to know. Many years ago, I've visited the huge monument dedicated to Arminius by Detmold, Germany. One can climb to it and see the forest around the area.
Hope you liked my hometown ;)

I haven't even watched it yet because I am at work. But it's getting a thumbs up anyway. Something to look forward to while I eat my supper.
Arminius, or Hermann, is still celebrated as a folk hero. There is/was a society of German settlers in the USA called Sons of Hermann. Here in Dallas, TX there is a Sons of Hermann hall, a popular dance/cultural venue.

Great video! My late uncle's aunt's land near Damme in northwestern Germany is actually on the site of Teutoberg Forest.
Thank you! Yes, the forest is still there, which is great news to us all. :-)
@@KingsandGenerals You're welcome! Yes, and it has a great museum too! :)
It is not true, that this forest has "still" the name "Teutoburger Wald". The roman chronidt Tacitus called the battlefield "Silva Teutoburgiensis". In the year 1616, the historian Philipp Clüver just took the name from Tacitus and gave it to the foredt where he believed that the battlefield was. It was the "Osning" which he called "Teutoburger Wald then eventhough archeologists have proved the battlefield is "Kalkriese", which is not far from that forest but not in the forest itself.
Love the effort that goes into making the videos!
When I had finished the video, I exited fullscreen mode in order to like it, only to find that I already had... I love the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest. And I love your videos.
Thank you :-)
great episode bro your youtube channel is way better than the history channel keep up the good work bro thanks
Thank you very much! We will!
“Died suspiciously” in the reign of Augustus almost always actually means “Assassinated by Livia”
And even in death, Livia would kill people for she would teach Agrippina the Younger her tricks before her death. Or at least that is what Dovahhatty would tell us.
Awesome. Please do a follow up soon; that cliffhanger is agonizing! BTW, the new helmet/crown icon is neat; a king and a general.
Thank you to VTH for recommending this channel amazing content unbelievable that you can find it on KZhead thank you
Anyone who is interested, Netflix just released a series about this battle called “The Barbarians”. Mostly accurate and some of it fictional, Awesome story and would highly recommend.
Pretty good show I’m on the Last episode
@@walter9899 I finished yesterday, enjoy it mate!
@chetnoMAN It doesn’t have any agenda against Rome nor does it say bad things about them, it mostly focuses on the Germans
@chetnoMAN How can you watch that beautiful and tragic scene at the end of Varus' life and think that this is biased against Rome? He was made out to be a betrayed victim more than a cruel bad guy.
@chetnoMAN I actually did myself... rest easy General Publius Quinctilius Varus. Mors vincit omnia 😥.
I went to the museum where it was supposed to have happened. It was very interesting and I would recommend it to anyone that’s driving through the area. It’s the Varrusschlcht Museum in Kalkriese, Germany

Thank you for watching!
Battle of Teutoburg Forest !! I love it ! FINALLY
So many mistakes from Varus over these few days. Must have been frightening for the soldiers once they realised what was happening.
Not if you could speak German
The only mistake that Varus should be credited for is his failure to ensure the area had been properly scouted. Certainly commands were given. But think; how do you, the commander, know that your subordinates failed to be thorough? Answer: Once the ambush is already underway. This channel's account of the events is heavily lopsided and clearly stems from Tacitus (who wrote on the subject up to 150 years later) and was moralistic history. It was heavily embellished and contorted in order to fit his narrative, as was the rest of his work.
Yeah.. it's much more frightening for the new recruits and this battle is their first(and only battle)

-Lucius Aegius: ...Seems like we got promoted +Caeonious: Not the way I wanted it to be
I’m watching this video after binge-watching the Netflix show Barbaren (Barbarians) Season 1. I noticed several differences in how Netflix portrayed the battle versus how it unfolded historically. Although I thoroughly enjoyed the miniseries and look forward to the upcoming season 3, I really wish the battle scenes were more historically accurate and reflected how the battle actually unfolded.

Almost done. :-)
