      Columbus in america did in fact discovered something to the outside world. Vikings went there but did not bring that knowledge or realized of that and such discovery remained lost until columbus. It wasnt until he went there that all in Europe Asia and Africa knew about America.

    Failures:
    1: The purple band is for the "Comuneros" of Castille banner, that was thought to be purple (Today we know it was red), anyways it is still used as a protest flag.
    2: The origins of the flag of aragon was the inspiration of the current flag, so you should search that, being a very nice and epic story.
    3: The eagle of Franco is the eagle of San Juan, taking back the symbols of Elisabeth and Ferdinand (Also the symbols of the bottom).
    4: Gibraltar may be under british rule, but is still claimed by Spain. Also the UN consider Gibraltar as a Non-self-governing territories, so a few years from now It will be back in Spain or become an independent country.

  • @johnnonamegibbon3580
    @johnnonamegibbon3580 8 лет назад +300

    Gibraltar was given to the British by the French. If I remember correctly, they tried to take more land and Spain beat them out of all of it but the land they owed them. I noticed that in history, Spain almost always beats Britain, which is why England doesn't talk about them very much and instead focuses on France. Save for the armada, but they change the story so much, it no longer means anything. And Granada was mostly Christian by the 1300's. It remain as a vassal state. It was kinda fake.

    • @Yougottacryforthis
      @Yougottacryforthis 8 лет назад

      Are you over-nationalist spanish or smth? England beat the shit out of the Spanish Armada and fucked up many Spanish ships with treasures inside during the 80 years war. The Dutch also basically stole everything form the portugese who were in union with spain so I'd call that loss pretty devastating. Also, how was Granada Christian? You mean the civilians? I'd like a link to show that if u can

    • @johnnonamegibbon3580
      @johnnonamegibbon3580 8 лет назад +178

      I'm American. I study European history. Like I said in the original post, people only know about the Spanish Armada, because, well, history was written largely by the English. So what you know is carefully selected. What say you about the Counter Armada? Blaz de Lezo and his destruction of the entire English navy? The fact that Spain owned the Dutch throughout most of their early history? You seem to be unaware of these things by your tone. The Spanish eventually landed in Britain, by the way, after the Armada. Which caused a panic. In fact, they landed in Britain several times. And even owned England for a few years.
      Granada was largely a vassal state by the 1300's. It was already under Christian control well before it was officially killed off. And never even really spoke Arabic. They spoke Latin with some Arab lone words, called "Latina" by the Muslin converts who lived there.

    • @Yougottacryforthis
      @Yougottacryforthis 8 лет назад +2

      John NoNameGibbon Oh boy the arrogance is uncalled for. Believe it or not I'm aware of the failed counter invasion, but in reality the Spanish loss devastated its navy, and its empire was on sharp decline ever since. The English on the other hand are the exact opposite. Their loss of this war led to the complete independence of the United Provinces since they no longer had any chance at sea, naval inferiority if you will. Spain only on held the Netherlands for 50 years, you might be confusing it with Belgium&part of france,luxembourg today, also known as the Spanish Netherlands (yep name is confusing but you can check it up if you want). The spanish didn't own England, not at all. It was before the Armada that Mary was married to the King of Spain but that wasn't even a proper personal union and it certainly didn't lat that long. I'm still looking for official link that say the majority of the popularity was becasue I want to see for myself where you got that from.

    • @johnnonamegibbon3580
      @johnnonamegibbon3580 8 лет назад +81

      Ahura Mazda Well, then prepare for even more "arrogance". After the armada, Spain actually rebuilt its navy with even more advanced technology and kept going at the same rate it had been. Most historians actually agree that's a myth. That's like selectively ending the US Civil War at the Battle of Bull Run. It didn't decline because England was not the number one threat to Spain, they were actually at war with many _much_ more powerful nations that didn't have navies composed of glorified pirates. See? Your information is based in English myths. England never had any chance of a "counter invasion". It was actually a "counter attack". That would be like Canada "counter invading" the US. They weren't on equal footing at the time at all.
      Spain owned the entire Netherlands, until a chunk broke off. The parts that stayed Spanish were given different names. However, Spain owned the entirety from 1516 until around 1630-ish. And before the "personal union" argument, be aware that he, Charles, had been subjugating them with his Spanish military, magnates, and officials. Also, recite the Dutch National Anthem for me, real quick. What does it start with again? Something about a life-long loyalty to _who_ now?
      One important distinction, unlike England, Spain owned several wealthy Western European nations for a very long time. Something no other nation accomplished during the Modern Era. The best England could do was abuse hapless indigenous people in Africa and America. While Spain did that _and_ also to Europeans.
      As for Granada, did you know that after Las Navas de Tolosa, Spain took many cities within Granada, pocketed throughout?Meaning, on top of it already being a vassal state (Christian owned), many of the cities were themselves Christian. Just to give you a better picture, by the late 1200's Tarifa, the southern most city, was already Christian. My source is my own brain, sir. I read. You can look it all up if you have the interest.
      And the personal union with Mary didn't last that long but that doesn't change the fact that Philip of Spain did own England for, like I said, a few years.

They helped him in Civil War, they bought his materials, and still they couldn't force him to finally join them.

      @@anacasanova7350 Vamos a ver. Reitero, una cosa es la Corona de Castilla, que era un todo, y otra son los reinos. El usuario al que responde mi comentario ha empleado mal los términos, porque ha hablado de reinos, cuando no es cierto que el escudo lo conformen todos los reinos. El reino era un territorio con entidad propia, y por encima de él estaba la Corona. Se puede comparar con la actual Corona Británica, que incluye desde Canadá hasta Australia y Nueva Zelanda pasando por Reino Unido y tantos otros países. Claramente, esta comparación se debe hacer con sus salvedades, pues la Corona de Castilla siempre fue históricamente muy centralista, en contraste a la Corona de Aragón, que fue mas federalista, y que ya que estamos llegó a abarcar el reino de Aragón, reino de Valencia, el condado Catalán, el Reino de Napoles, el reino de Sicilia y el reino de Cerdeña --me dejo territorios, solo enumero unos cuántos para exponer el punto, que una cosa es la Corona y otra el reino--.
      De hecho, con la unión de las coronas Aragonesa y Castellana, y el surgimiento de la Corona Hispánica, el Imperio llega a abarcar los virreinatos de las Américas como el de Nueva España y los territorios en Flandes. Vamos, que confundir la figura de la Corona con la de reino es un despropósito histórico.
      Sobra decir, y nada tiene que ver, pero con esto aparte se demuestra la inconsistencia de las "nacionalidades históricas" de que se habla en nuestra constitución, un palabro arbitrariamente asignado a aquellos antaño reinos cuyas burguesías gestaron movimientos independentistas, porque tan reinos fueron Castilla y Aragón --los reinos, no las coronas--, como lo fueron Murcia, Valencia, Toledo, Jaén, Granada, etcétera, al mismo tiempo que ciertas nacionalidades históricas nunca lo fueron, ni se constituyeron posteriormente en nación política --pues España se constituye como tal en 1812 y ninguna de sus partes peninsulares e insulares lo ha hecho después--.

    In general terms I can agree, but...
    * No one can say Aragon was austracist. This is not true. Austracists and borbonic supporters were in the whole Spain, including Aragon. This is the fact (that you can find with ease).
    * Of course Spain (Castilla, really) discovered America. Others simply arrived there, including japanese people, as DNA studies show, without any knowdlege about where they were.
    * Spain is not a Kingdom of kingdoms, as the UK is. The sources of Spain are the roman empire Hispania province (maybe the most important province) and its sucessor, the Visigothic Hispania, ruled from Toledo. After the Umayyad (Omeya) conquest of Hispania, the Kingdom of Asturias (visigoths, obviously) started the "reconquista" to recover the former Hispania. The idea of Hispania as the whole Iberic territory was in his minds, as today is in ours, including our Portuguese brothers (Lisboa was taken by the asturian king Alfonso VII in 1147). Some day, in the future, Spain and Portugal will be a politic entity, I hope and desire.
    * Last, but not less important. The eagle of San Juan, present in our flag during Franco's regime, is part of the Queen Isabel heraldic shield (as you can find with ease) and was also part of the heraldic shield of the Catholic Kings, Isabel and Fernando, (as you can find with ease). The eagle of San Juan has a religious meaning, and is not related in any sense with the germanic double headed eagles (as you can find with ease).

    Just one small remark. The difference with United Kingdom is that in UK, Scottland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland still exist with a simillar configuration. Castile, Aragon, Navarra and Granada don´t exist anymore as such. I mean, there are no four national identities anymore that gather to form a "United Kingdom of Spain". We have still some remainings of the ancient kingdoms in the form of independentists or nationalists, but most of people in Spain consider themselves just spanish (although sometimes they can love their local regions even more which also happens)

      Ceuta y Melilla no son colonias por muchas razones, razón número uno, Ceuta y Melilla estan al lado de España no a miles de kilómetros, razón número 2 esas dos ciudades no existian antes de que fueran FUNDADAS POR PORTUGAL, un grupo de tribus bereberes se JUNTARON para comerciar con Portugal y se unieron PACIFICAMENTE Y POR SU PROPIA VOLUNTAD A PORTUGAL, luego con la unión dinástica de España y Portugal Ceuta y Melilla pasaron a ser españoles y cuando Portugal se desunió tanto Ceuta como Melilla decidieron ser españolas por propia voluntad y son Ciudades que Portugal reconoce desde siempre como españolas y no reclama, sus gentes tienen cultura española, lengua española, y se sienten españoles, por que lo son. Estan antes de que Marruecos siquiera existiera.
      Así que si no tienes ni p.. idea de lo que hables, es simple, no hables de lo que no sepas. Ya que Ceuta y Melilla JAMÁS han sido colonias NUNCA, nunca han sido tratados de colonias, REFERENDUM? Hay acaso independentistas en Ceuta y Melilla? No tienes ni idea de lo que hablas porque hablas desde el desconocimiento y la completa ignorancia de una historia que no es la tuya.

    The columns of the 'Plus Ultra' are not representing Gibraltar. Although Spain claims the territory, those columns older than even Carlos I (V of Germany), much before there was any controversy on Gibraltar. They represent the extension that the Spanish Empire once had (it means something like "further and beyond").
    Actually it's not even close to meaning anything about Gibraltar. The symbolism behind the columns comes from roman times, when they considered the Galician territory of Finisterre to be the end of the Earth (It's the most occidental point of the European Continent), and represented it with columns in their mithology, which if you were to pass further you'd enter other realms (the so called Macaronesia or places where the gods went to rest: Canary Islands, Azores Islands....).
    Moving such symbolism to Gibraltar was not of spanish doing. It never intended to mean that region, as it wasn't that much of a deal back then.

    Hi there, awesome video! Learned a lot about Spain in just a few minutes. You explain it very well, much like Cody from AlternateHistoryHub and GeographyHub would. Something is bugging me though, and being someone who knows at least a few things about audio I will try to give you some advice. While I'm sure you already did a ton of audio editing to achieve the solid voiceover some parts can be improved on.
    There's a solid hum in the audio from about 52 seconds in. I downloaded the video as an audio file to analyse the spectrum and found you have either very terrible resonance in your microphone, or just a really unlucky issue with the background music. To fix this (and as an overall tip to decrease nasalness) I would advise lowering everything from 80 Hertz and below by about -24db and slowly ramp that up to -0 by the time it reaches 250 Hertz. Since I could not quite locate the hum I made a quick guess on harmonics and placed a De-Hummer on three harmonics of 60 Hertz - which did the trick quite nicely.
    Since this is an educational video, I would also suggest cutting most of the bass from the music to make more room for the voiceover. Generally a hard cut at 55 Hertz will clear most of the rumbling basses that can be distracting the viewer (or listener) from the actual content.
    As a final thought, the background music gets too much foreground time on some parts of the video. I would suggest dynamically lowering the volume of parts where the music would originally go in crescendo to avoid a bullfight with the voiceover (pun intended).
    All in all, a great video! Some audio "issues" can be improved on, but hey I'm here to help!
    If you want to take a listen to the edited audio, here's a link to cross-reference it: www65.zippyshare.com/v/zVw8KyGh/file.html

    Overall it's a great video. It's educative and it has a high quality, but there's still some room for improvement:
    -XVIII century Spanish Navy flag comes from the Aragonese Crown colors
    -Since you used the flags of fascist Italy and Germany (which was a good point) to represent they aided Spanish fascist, you should have added the flag of fascist Portugal as well. Modern day Germans, Italians AND Portuguese alike may find disgusting to do it otherwise.
    -You should have added that the Spanish Monarchy was restored due to the will of Franco and the fascist government. Not doing so makes the previous Spanish King like a democrat, when he swore over the 'principles of the [fascist] Movement'. If he accepted taking a part in the Transition, was to aid the economic ruling class to join the European Union and make more profitable business, not because he believed in democracy.

      Portugal never had a "fascist flag", we still used the current one.
      You might be thinking about the symbol of the Estado Novo (New State), the Fascist/Salazarist party in command.

    Yeah, umm, Joanna of Castile wasn't really mad, it was a conspiration. The court members said she was to in an attempt to avoid another female monarch ruling in Castile. Back then the society was really mysogine so no one wanted Joanna as queen. Also the Catholic Kings had a legitime son called John (The Prince of Asturias) however he had a bad health and he died young, in 1497. So the issue of the Hispanic Crown was left around there and the Austrians took the chance.

      Juana de Trastámara, reina de Castilla, estaba como una cabra, herencia de sus ancestros Lancaster. Su hijo y heredero fue Carlos I (o V, si hablamos de Alemania). No es que los Habsburg pasaran por allí y se aprovecharan, es que el marido de Juana y padre de Carlos era Felipe de Habsburg. Y en cuanto a los Borbones tampoco es ninguna casualidad: Carlos II, a falta de hijos, eligió; en su testamento como sucesor al pariente más próximo, al nieto de su hermana María Teresa, Felipe, casada con Luis XIV de Francia.
