Origin and History of the Germans

What are the origins of the German ethnicity and other Germanic peoples such as the Austrians, Swiss, Dutch, Frisians and others? The German identity is a complex one, considering it is based off of thousands of years of complicated interactions between very diverse people groups, leading to the formation and rise of one of Europe's most prominent and formidable ethnic groups.

In today's video we will be discussing the origin and history of the German nation, or rather that of the continental Germanic tribes and peoples that would eventually evolve into the modern country of Germany that we see today. Thanks for watching!
