The history of Sweden in the 12th-14th centuries is an era of bloody dynastic wars, tribal rivalries, crusades, and the formation of Swedish national identity. In this video, you will learn how the Swedish lands transformed from the divided territories of the Svear and Geats into a centralized monarchy that laid the foundation for modern Sweden.
Who were the Sverkers and the Erics? Why did Swedish kings earn nicknames like “the Empty-Headed” or “the Lisping”? How did the struggle between brothers give birth to the Riksdag? And why did the Folkungs become a symbol of Swedish statehood? We trace the paths of kings Inge, Eric the Saint, Sverker, Birger Jarl, and Magnus Ladulås – from their rises to their downfalls, through rebellions, alliances, betrayals, and reforms.
You will discover the first Swedish crusades to Finland, attempts to recapture fortresses from the Novgorodians, the struggle for Scania, and the founding of Stockholm. This video offers a detailed overview of medieval Sweden – a vivid story of power, faith, and ambition that shaped one of Europe’s enduring kingdoms

Day 36 of asking for a video about the Toungoo Empire — the largest empire in Southeast Asian history.
Please consider making a video about Bayinnaung, the greatest conqueror of Southeast Asia. He masterminded the Battle of Naungyo (10,000 vs 80,000) — one of history’s most impressive tactical victories. Unlike most conquerors, Bayinnaung expanded his empire through mercy, diplomacy, and unity, rather than mass killing or cruelty.
Please also cover the Sino-Burmese Wars, when the Konbaung Kingdom of Burma repelled four consecutive invasions by the Qing Empire of China. These wars were incredibly important — the Qing dynasty had already expanded China’s borders massively, annexing regions like Tibet. Burma’s victories prevented Southeast Asia from being absorbed into the Chinese empire, preserving the region’s independence and shaping its future.
I truly believe your channel would benefit from this topic. The Toungoo and Konbaung eras are full of brilliant military strategy, political innovation, and cultural significance that deserve far more attention.
