Educational video on the history of the Franks, the Germanic tribe that founded France by expanding into Gaul territory. The Frankish victory against the Gaul tribe of Soissons, a remnant of past Roman rule, was instrumental in establishing a strong base in present day France. The first ruler of France, Clovis I, defeated the Visigoths and moved the capital to Paris. The Frankish Kingdom continued to evolve in the decades and centuries that followed.

In the video, at some points, the capital is incorrectly stated:
Paris (c. 509-771)
Aachen (771-840)

This is an amazing video… I often hear people say diversity isn’t a strength but look how diverse Europe was.. more tribes there than Africa at one point

I cannot fully agree with some statements made. “The birth of Modern Europe”? Europe never was and will never be only the Western part of the continent and people should stop ignoring the full history of our common continent by slicing it somewhere in the middle. The Byzantine empire stopped many times the invasions of Arabs at the same period, returned lands in Italy and North Africa, created the codexes of Justinian, converted half Europe and etc. Bulgaria and Kievian Rus have been established as big countries, not less important than the Kingdom of Franks, and therefore for the establishment of modern Europe. Bulgarians and Byzantines smashed Arabs near Constantinople in 718 - way earlier in a greater and more important battle for the city of world desires! That’s why Arabs moved to Iberian peninsula. And then the Franks had battles with them.

Clovis and Charlemagne rock 🪨 😂

The popular belief around « lazy kings » is a wrong analysis of history.
1. They were qualified as lazy much later when the Carolingians wanted to solidify their dominance.
2. They were thought lazy because we lost most source of their reign (due to conservation issues), but we know that all the Merovingian kings knew how to read and write, a thing that Charlemagne never achieved. Finally they held the Kingdom together without major civil war through smarter land division in very troubled times while the Carolingians disappeared soon after the death of Charlemagne.

Charlemagne was offered the title of Emperor by the Pope; it wasn't his idea, though some of his advisors might have suggested it. The Pope wanted a powerful backer so it was in his interest as much as anything else, especially since the Roman Emperor was the one who appointed / recognised Popes in the first place at that time.
