The histories of the conquistadors, such as Hernan Cortes and Francisco Pizarro, are well known and documented ones. Perhaps less well known are the stories of some of their contemporaries, who may not have gained the same fame and fortune, but nevertheless achieved remarkable feats of exploration and discovery with their ventures into unknown lands. In this four-part mini-series, we will explore their truly remarkable and immense encounters in the New World.
All parts of the conquistador mini series, telling the remarkable journeys of Cabeza de Vaca, Hernando de Soto, Francisco de Orellana and Francisco de Coronado.

The Spanish history is epic! I bought an Atlas book of Spanish Explorers and Conquistadors, and is definitely one of the best books I've ever had. It is a huge crime for the world to have forgotten the fascinating stories of men such as Vicente Yáñez Pinzón, Vasco Núñez de Balboa, Juan Sebastián Elcano, Andrés de Urdaneta, etc.
One has to be aware that Spanish history told by English, French, Dutch and German sources, in many occasions is tainted by Hispano-phobia. This is false propaganda/fake news about the Spanish Crown created by its European rivals of the time. This historic phenomena is thoroughly explained by historian and Harvard professor - Dr. María Elvira Roca Barea in her book - Empire phobia and the Black Legend. Great vid - Really enjoyed it!
What's the name of the book ?
wow you are like the first person to acknlowedge the propaganda by the other european nations many of those countries are responsible for nearly wiping out natives aswell, by the time they arrived spanish/indians had already established their own culture due to having kids, not all native tribes were treated hostile

@@AlienTheWizard I will do nothing more but provide a concise reply worthy to the intellectual level of your previous comment: "YOUR MOTHER STINKS".
This is so fascinating. No other time in history is as epic as the encounter of the Old World with the New World. And just to top it off, after years of genealogical research, I have found out that my 15x great-grandfather was in one of Narvaez's expeditions... luckily the one to Mexico and not Florida.
How did you conduct your research ?
Howd you find out?

I am the direct descendent of a conquistador that was involved with Hernán Cortés and his conquest of Mexico, I used to be ashamed of this but now I have learned to embrace it, people make the conquistadors out to be bloodthirsty savages but people truly don’t know their true intentions
I am a direct decendent of Pedro de Alvarado Govornor of Guatemala.
We cannot presume to know their intentions, but we can judge them based on their actions. Which was mass genocide, rape and destruction of entire nations.

Love it. Thank you for sharing
Great video - absolutely loved it! I've been reading a lot about the Spanish conquistadors lately and feel so robbed that I didn't learn more about this time period during my school years. The stories to come out of it are so epic and engrossing, and it's almost unbelievable that they actually happened. For those interested in some book recommendations, I highly recommend "Conquistador" by Buddy Levy (about Cortes, Montezuma, and the Aztecs), "The Last Days of the Incas" by Kim MacQuarrie (about the Pizarro brothers, the Incas, Atahualpa, and Manco Inca), "River of Darkness" by Buddy Levy (about Francisco Orellana, the Amazon, and Gonzalo Pizarro), and "A Land So Strange" by Andrés Reséndez (about Cabeza de Vaca and the Narvaez expedition). All of these stories have really stuck with me.
Thanks for the book recommendations
Read Conquistadors twice. They shame men of today.
Knight of Spain: Warriors of the Sun by Charles Hudson is an amazing book about Hernando De Soto
@@kushmaster5000 That one's on my wishlist!

My 7th great grandfather was Diego Romo de Vivar. He conquered northern Mexico and central Mexico. By documents and DNA history I can confirm. I’m. Not ashamed nor proud because his accomplishments are not mine. But I will not at all ever be ashamed of him. I’m his blood and will defend till death.

Would you say the same thing if you were related to…say Hitler. Different strokes, same brush of genocide.
@@walkerahlnot even,but whatever 😂
@@walkerahl That's not true. And I think you already know that. Instead of lying and/or being illiterate about Spain's history in America, making a poor approach on the subject, what if you actually read about it, taking a profound interest in primary and secondary sources? But no: this takes time and effort.
Behind our peaceful, humble appearance, there is a very hard and brave worker.
Those dudes were hardcore. Their motto should had been "sink or swim". The real survival odysseys
Definitely they sailed thru hurricanes. Marched thru uncharted land with hostile natives. When the boats were destroyed, they built new ones from the land and used deer carcasses and shirts for sails. The Spanish sailors were definitely hardcore. I wonder what all training they had to go thru to learn all these skills did they learn in the Spanish Navy? They had to do hunting, boat building, navigation, fighting, marching long distances. I only watched the first part but I'm in awe of Cabeza de Vaca's adventures....holy shit.
They raped thousands of children.
I’m related to about 8 conquistadors. Love the history!
Same here and also to some import figures in history. 😊
Colombian on my mother's side and in Colombia we are very proud of their Spanish conquistador roots. The name Colombia is literally an homage to Columbus.
Wow. And not in a good way
That's because they never got to see how those conquistadores enslaved/ murdered/ pillaged their people. Columbus himself was a serial killer who killed so many Taino Indians. Today the world celebrates his accomplishment to America.. A land he NEVER touched.

Ironically the Spaniards had not realized that they had already conquered the wealthiest of the Natives on the North American continent - the Aztecs and Mayans.
Unbeknownst to everyone the best land and most ripe for settlement was in the North

They say nowadays, "the Spaniards stole our gold" bu the fact is most of the gold was spent there in the americas, infrastructure, hospitals, universities, fortresses etc, once they were all Spaniards, because they had the same rights as the Spaniard in europe, we never had colonies, that's something the British do, that and spread the black legend.
It couldn’t have been more clear and explained to
What you have just described is the definition of a colony... The Spanish enacted a strict caste system among the natives, enslaved Africans, and Spaniards (who were at the very top)... Yes, the gold was partially spent to fund universities and infrastructure for the Spaniards in the New World, but a LOT of it was spent on the Spanish Armada, which was wiped out by the British in 1588. The Spanish also used the gold/silver of Mexico and Peru to fund their lavish palaces across Spain and the New World... Also, yes, the Spanish did import African slaves. (Into Argentina specifically)
Está claro , los españoles somos tan crueles como ingleses, portugueses, franceses, holandeses y chinos...jajaja.😂
@@wmw05
How can a strict caste system exist in a society where everyone freelxy intermarries?
@@wmw05 The castes in spanish America was not a system. A black people could be a noble. In Venezuela it's a lot of examples of black nobles there. Why it wasn't a system? Because in spanish America you was a vertical society. In India, if you born in a caste you will be always in that caste for live.
Hello my name is Artemio Villasenor I had a question regarding a unknown conquistador by the name of Juan de Villasenor that landed in the state of Michigan in around 1525 I beleav he was one of Cortes boat captains.? If you can I would love to know more about this man I Googled him and found out that he's a real conquistador but Lil is known of him I would love you made a video talking about this man and what he was doing with Cortez in his time.. one of the reasons I ask is because this man is my 15th grandfather and I would like to know more about him Juan de Villaseñor Is known to marry one of Montezuma daughter Isabel Montezuma I believe. Look him up you won't regret it. A unknown conquistador that slipped through the cracks..
You mean Michoacán? If that’s the case we are distantly related because he married Catalina de Cervantes saavedra y Andrade
Isabel Montezuma?

@@flinteyesonofsun614 The Spaniards were the 1st explorers to explore America idiot
Just watched the first part. Damn Cabeza de Vaca went on an epic adventure! Seemed like Spain should have kept him in La Florida and nearby regions for his knowledge of the land and the natives. I'm sure there were political reasons they sent him to South America. I bet his book has some real good insight into the indigenous people. Alright back to the rest of the stories!
Look what my Spanish ancestors accomplished. The better men won
what is la florida is what state is that today?
Florida, USA. It gained statehood in 1845 making it the 27th state.

have some shame in face spanhords , a dark page of history
RIP to the real heroes of this story: the natives. They deserved so much better. Real Americans.
Most of us here in N.M. are both indigenous & Spanish. I am & so are about 300,000 people in N.M. We are proud of both!!! 🔥
Los nativos, como los Txalcaltecas, fueron claves en la conquista de nuevas tierras en América para el Rey de España. No todos los nativos fueron enemigos, muchos se aplicaron por causas políticas, y otros aceptaron el choque de civilizaciones de forma más o menos pacífica. Otros seguían luchando cuando el Imperio cayó.
Deberías informarte mejor, hay miles de historias que contar acerca de la conquista de América mucho más alla de las simplicidad de la leyenda negra. Sin indígenas, Hernán Cortés nunca habría entrado en Tecnoxlican. No Pizarro en Cuzco.
What did they achieve? 😂😂
VIVA CRISTO REY !
🇺🇸
I admire the conquistadors. They had no fear walking into South American jungles and facing the savages!
They did have fear, but they didn't let that get in the way of conquering and exploring.
Who were savages ? The Spaniards with their mass genocide, barbaric practices and destruction of native language and culture certainly qualify as savages
Don’t call my ancestors savages they were more civilized then you think
You are correct. The Aztec and Mayan and Incan civilizations were amazingly well organized and yet didn't use wheeled vehicles as the had no horses. It's a shame about their religion; no one can defend a faith that requires cutting out hearts of living people (babies as well) then eating their corpses.@@maestro4086

Bridging the Portuguese and the Italians
On the journey also!
Long before the Spanish did, the Portuguese ventured into unknown waters and started the age of discoveries.
@@Cobalt1520 Never loosing sight of the coast....it took a Spanish expedition to dare to cross the Atlantic Ocean in its widest part.
@@jonayz8655 long before the America, the Portuguese discovered Madeira Island (1419) and the Azores (1427), both of them obviously not within sight of land, but on the middle of the Atlantic. Portugal had the superior navigators, technics and sailors of that time.
@@Cobalt1520 You can't compare that with crossing a whole Ocean which you don't know how wide it really is. Azores?madeira? that's peanuts. The canary islands are further away from Europe for that matter.
If the Portuguese were so good, why didn't they discover America, or why didn`t they circumnavegate the Earth for the first time?
@@jonayz8655 The canary Island where not discovered by the Spanish, it was already inhabited by people originary from North Africa, the Guanches, And it was discovered by the ROMANS, 2000 years ago. The Portuguese DID circumnavigate the globe MAGELLIAN was PORTUGUESE. Columbus worked for the Portuguese crown and lived in Portugal before he went to work for the Spanish Crown, he learned what he knew with the Portuguese, and there are theories that say he stole Portuguese maps (at the time maps were very valuable, it was in fact the treasure map). BTW, he was not Spanish. Oh, and the Portuguese discovered the maritime route to India which changed for ever the World's power balance, and Brazil of course. The Portuguese were the first Global Empire to exist... A nation of only 1 million people at that time!!! And you say they were not "so good"? They were the best!!
Why not just the Conquerors instead of the Conquistadors ? is the same reason why you named the Spanish guitar , as ''classical guitar'' just those petty ways in which the English take away credit from the Spaniards , the world hasn't forgotten the fascinating history of the Spaniards , the English prefer just to ignore it , it make them feel little , insignificant
The word "Conquistadores" does not exist in spanish, it's a mistake. The correct word is "Conquistadores" which is the plural of "Conquistador" a singular word. Ex: 1 Conquistador. 2 Conquistadores.

Los españoles nos mezclamos con los indios porque los considerábamos personas iguales que nosotros, por eso la mayoría de habitantes del centro y del sur de América tienen sangre indígena, no como en Norteamerica donde los ingleses se dedicaron a extinguirlos. Les dejamos nuestra sangre, nuestros nombres, nuestra religión católica, universidades, hospitales gratuitos, catedrales, carreteras. Intercambiamos cultura, alimentos, les llevamos los caballos, la rueda, el hierro, bronce, etc. Y la cultura grecorromana y la árabe que antes tambien nos habian traido a España nuestros antiguos invasores. El mundo es así y unos invasores somos mejores que otros! Los reyes españoles hicieron leyes que protegian a los indigenas y los consideraban sus subditos, igual que el resto de españoles. Investigad y vereis que tengo toda la razón!! 😊
They still thought they were somewhere in Mexico. They were in Florida after a Storm and they didn’t realize how strong the Florida Straight current was. There wasn’t supposed to be water to the West if in Mexico so they thought they were on a penninsula

Its "conquistadores", with an "e" before the "s".
the reason is they are Spaniard , accordingly to the English they do not deserved the title of CONQUERORS In English ,that is why they refer to them as Conquistadors
@@JamesSmith-ui2hv Yes, but that's not how it is writen, its "Conquistadores" with an "e" in the end before the "s". Plural in Spanish is done adding "es", not just an "s" like in English. "conquistadors" is a anglicized version of the plural of "Conquistador", and it is wrong because there is already an original version AND there is also an English version (Conquerors), so there is no need to invent another word.
@@Cobalt1520 Not really, it have nothing to do with grammar
@@JamesSmith-ui2hv Ok, whatever. I don't think it is anything related to politics, I believe its just ignorance. Its like if a Spanish person called "the Tudors" as "Los Tudores".... ridiculous, isn't it? Seems like something out of the Monty Python, or rather "Los Monty-Pythones".
Brave men assuredly but many of their motives we're far from Christian.
Mucho más cristianos quenlos que llevaron a ingleses o franceses a esas tierras.
La historia es testigo de ella, por mucho que tantos sigáis vertiendo mentiras y basura. Por cierto, es la única conquista de la historia donde se les exige a los conquistadores buenos motivos para ella, motivos cristianos. Es simplemente gracioso que no veáis lo ridícula que resulta la forma que tenéis de ver y juzgar toda la histiria referente al Imperio Español..
Informative video, but staring at a barely animated map for most of it is not exactly engaging…
So i interesting. I’m latin American and the highest percentage in my ancestry dna is Spain.
I'm the direct decedent of Hernand Cortez, Gomez Alvarado older brother of Pedro Alvarado. Captian Antionio De Nava, Captian Fransico Lopez Muñiz, Juan Lopez De Jemena de Cuadra, Captain Juan De Burgos, Cristobal De Valderramo Espeses, Captain Antonio de Sotelo Hidalgo, and Lorenzo D'Avila. Just to name a few. Conquistador and Knights of Santiago run through my vains and my DNA.
That is pretty impressive amigo, just to have Cortez or Alvarado as an ancestor is "blue blood" in Mexico,
and Latin America, having Knights of Santiago and Captains as well. Better keep that a secret, it's dangerous
to "big-note" like that, as there is EASTMAL (fj parasites etc.) who pay literally Million$ to "ELIMINATE HISTORY"
Funny thing is the conquistadores were not the Spanish but the Portuguese really.
My lineage goes back to conquistador Maldonado
Common thread was that the Spaniards were bad hunters and had poor people skills.
Yeh the Moors showed them the way.
No but they did have moorish/ Arab blood that's why most spainards are tan with dark hair like me.
@@jonathanrecinos5894 No, we hardly mixed with the Arabs and after the reconquest those who remained and had not converted to Catholicism were expelled. In addition, over the centuries, the populations of the reconquered territories, if they did not want to be Christians, fled to the south, so that in the end the majority were in Al Andalus. Even so, only on average 7% of the population have Arab or North African ancestry. The Muslims did not replace the populations they conquered, they became the ruling class. The same happened throughout North Africa and today the population is more or less the same as before the spread of Islam. That is why they could expand so quickly because their tactic was to convert to religion and then unite to conquer more territories with the warriors of the populations that they had already conquered. The brown skin color predates the Arabs, because the Celtiberians were here, who were a mixture between Celtic and Iberian tribes from North Africa. In addition to the Phoenician, Greek colonies, etc. in different parts of the Iberian Peninsula. The same happened with the Romans, who despite belonging to the empire hardly mixed with the natives. I also have to say that after the expulsion of Jews and Muslims, quite a few went to live in the colonies of America, apart from those who went to the Ottoman Empire and North Africa. In addition, at that time, purity of blood prevailed when it came to obtaining titles or reaching important positions in the Royal Court. Those who descended from those who took refuge in the north, in what was called the Kingdom of Asturias, were considered full-blooded Spaniards. So most of the conquerors came from there, that's why there are so many Basque surnames.
It is truly incredible to see the beauty that the Spanish conquistadors left behind in Latin American countries.

Good content, but you need to work on your pronunciation of Spanish names, because I’m listening to this and I can’t even tell who you’re talking about. Like, I just learned all this history and I can’t really even parece out the names of the guys you were talking about. Just some constructive criticism. Your content is good, you could just work on speaking in a more clear and audible voice and give better pronunciation to more difficult to pronounce names. Keep up the good work.
The conquistadors kill people like flies. 😂
did people fly at the time? how advanced
No. Diseases did.

Why did the USA do better?
Porque hace más de 200 años que se independizaron de España. Entonces se endeudaron, comprando armas para luchar por su independencia , con Francia, Inglaterra, Holanda y EEUU. Así siguen todavía. España no tiene la culpa!
Porque la América hispana se endeudó hace unos 200 años comprando armas a los ingleses, franceses, holandeses y a los estadounidenses para independizarse de España. Todavía arrastran esas deudas y sus deudores no quieren permitir que se recuperen. Además México perdió California y Texas, perdiendo también el oro y el petróleo que poseía. España no tiene la culpa de nada de eso!! 😌
