Im mexican so i know that its imposible to put all history in one video, and even with that you are actually better than most of my history teachers. All i want to say its that i love your videos and keep it up man, i really enjoy your content.
Yes thank you so much for this video I’ve been waiting for it for a long time thank you so so much it is amazing to see my culture being represented here. ❤️❤️🇲🇽🇲🇽🥰🥰🇲🇽🥰🥰🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
In case you're wondering why Mexico is pronounced like 'Meshico', there are two reasons. 1. In Nahuatl, 'x' is pronounced like 'sh'. 2. In Spanish, 'x' was pronounced like 'sh' or 'zh' in the 16th~17th century. This is why they used 'x' to write down Nahuatl's 'sh' sound. As time passed, 'x' became a voiceless velar fricative, which is why 'Mexico' is pronounced something like 'Mehico' by modern Spanish speakers. The change didn't happen in Nahuatl, so it's still pronounced like 'sh' to this day.
@@northstar1727 Oaxaca comes from the nahuatl word Huaxyacac because of the type of tree that was found in the area. So yes it would be pronounced Wash-ya-kak
@@marias7599 after Diaz was overthrown and exiled it was no longer a revolution. It became a Civil war, being that the two victorious factions started fighting for power.
@@SmileyGirl22100 Yes, Aztlan (which could mean white place or crane's place) was the original place (or mitological depending on the sources) where the nomad people came from, somewhere around the north of Aridoamerica. For generations they travelled south to Mesoamerica, where they finally settled where the profecy became true (the eagle eating a snake in a cactus, like the Mexican flag) and they decided to found Mexico-Tenochtitlan, to stop being nomadic and settle as a new civilization, renouncing to the name aztecs and calling themselves Mexicas from that point onwards.
Except that the word isn't in Nahuatl but in Spanish so it shouldn't be pronounced with a sh sound, the name comes from "Mejico" (pronounced Meh-He-Co) which is how the spaniards renamed Mexihco-Tenochtitlan after they founded New Spain.
The Spaniards romanized the Nahuatl language that’s why it’s an X, but there is no writing of the Nahuatl language only in hieroglyphics. But I’m just saying that the original way they said Mexico in the Nahuatl language is Meshico.
@@fireproxy9707 the mexica did have writing and it still exists today. They had dedicated glyphs for dedicated sounds, it just wasn't standardized. It can be compared to modern Japanese in that they have glyphs with meanings and glyphs for sounds like kanji and hiragana. The standardized part just means they could write 1 as 一, いち, イチ, ichi, or how ever they wanted in a sentence as long as they reader could make a guess and eventually make the "write" sound
I have currently traced my ancestors to the early 1700’s and looked up this video to see what Mexico was like then. I had learned that my mothers’s home town contained almost all of my lineage and I have no doubt that I am part of the Indigenous Caxcan people of Nochistlan. When you brought up the chichimecas, it brought a tear to my eye. Thank you for this video.
Great job. I am an American married to a Mexican. Never knew 99% of this and you enlightened me to where the little I knew was a part of it. Mayans, Aztecs, Spain and so much more
@@Pablo1on1 that depends on who the observer is and how closely related to the culture, for instance could you tell the difference between a Han , Zhuang, or Cantonese person on sight or would they all just be Chinese? When comparing two similar groups as an outsider subtle distinctions are easily lost. You could also use musical subculture as an example you might say those guys are metal heads but that fact 1 listens to death metal and the other thrash would be of no distinction to an opera fan.
Are you serious, people are still debating over this. It's not hard to imagine the Spanish arriving and killung people and everyone left because there where stories of this unknown alien with weird weapons. Why would anyone stay to record.
This is how we win wars that official history does not want to recognize or that were agreed between politicians. Because history is an ideological weapon that does not necessarily tell the truth. And that it is about interests.
I'm a history junkie, and I would really like for your to consider covering The Cristeros war. The fact that the it was Mexican Catholics & Irish vs. Mexican Anti-Catholics and the KKK (yes, that group) makes it weirdly interesting.
I was looking for a video to show my daughter about the Ukraine’s history, and I founded it in your channel, but I also found this video about México’s history, and I loved it. Your way of explaining our history is very easy and understanding. Because in real life is very complex. We are a beautiful amalgam of races, colors, flavors, languages and cultures. Our country has been in a turmoil long before the Spanish conquest and still is. Stability seems so far away, an utopia, difficult to achieve. I hope one day, we are able to embrace our past and make peace with it, to star a new era, where our leaders stop fighting to empower themselves, but to empower our country. Mexico is so beautiful, we just hadn’t been able to see our own beauty!
If you’re Mexican , get your AncestryDNA done. It’s definitely worth seeing how mixed we really are. My list was long and so are other Mexicans I know.
Do they give specifics as what Native American groups the DNA belongs to? Like if they tell me you have 5% Native American, I wouldn’t pay them 300 bucks or so to tell me something I already know. If the say 2.5 % Huichol, 2.5% Apache for example, that would be really interesting and revealing
They do tell you what region your ancestors came from in Mexico. My parents are from Zacatecas and it showed that half of my DNA was Native American pertaining to the Chichimec or Chichimeca. Which checks out. Mexico is such an amazing country. I know so much about American history yet not much about Mexican history. To discover the parts where both histories intertwine is intriguing. I want to learn more about Zacatecas. My parents didn’t finish elementary school in their village, so they don’t even know much about their own history either. I’m first generation American but I’m also aware of how important it is to learn about our parents’ nation’s history. Especially when I live in a Southwestern state like southern California. This U.S. state’s history has Mexico’s history as a main character to its origins as well.
There's a RUclipsr that did his and he was from a indigenous village so he had no European ancestry in his DNA. There is also a community on one of the ancestry websites that help Mexicans trace their indigenous origins. Apparently the Catholic church keeps great records because some have been able to see through marriage documents when 2 natives were converted and given Spanish names. Thus seeing what the names of their indigenous ancestors were before and after being converted.
El vídeo está bien pero la historia que cuenta, está manipulada, en la última década diferentes investigadores han tratado de desentrañar la verdad detrás del mito y han encontrado un montón de incoherencias, respecto a los escritos de los evangelizadores, pero bueno si crees que las personas de hace 500 años tenían la objetividad y compromiso de escribir la verdad, estás muy equivocado
I'm a Canadian born in Mexico, grew up there a few years and still go back from time to time... From my experience they are the most passionate people! I love their positivity Arriba Mexico!!
@@jaylenrebollar7776 nice😁 even though my skin isn't brown I consider myself Mexican first 💯 que viva Mexico! Y claro como Mexico no hay dos! Mis raizes siempre estaran en Mexico lindo y querido 🎆🎉
Yeah he's like the only thing Mexicans remember in regards to history lol He was a real life Robinhood! Not perfect but he left an impression and changed the government
I hope people understand that when we say we’re proud to be Mexican, we don’t forget or pretend that That Mexico doesn’t have its problems. We are fully aware and believe me, we wish the day to come when Mexico can be freed of its corruption, wars, etc. And understand that Mexico is more than just that. Its a country full of rich culture.
I wish one day the Mexicans who have Indio blood will go back to worshipping their original Pagan gods like how some Mayans are worshipping the old Gods before the Spanish forced conversion on the "heathens".
I'm 100% indigenous, originally born in southern Mexico... but moved to the USA as a teenager. I consider myself Mexican, but also American. The USA is a great country, but like Mexico it's not perfect either. But TBH there is no perfect country.
I'm Mexican, and I can tell that you don't just got the history right, but the feeling of instability that the nation has suffered for centuries, great video.
As a French, it's always weird to see that we are an important aspect of the Mexican history. Our vision of History isn't even eurocentric, but francocentric! We are just taught about the inside of our own country. Most of us have no idea about our Invasion of Mexico, and even more Invasion of Spain by Napoléon. I hope there is no more problem between us! 🇫🇷❤️🇲🇽
damn, one thing is the french not being taught how the french empire invaded mexico, but not being taught napoleon invaded spain? Even in Mexico we learn that
@@poliorcetix979 wow, let me correct, for our culture? yeah not much, for mexican history is very important. We could've go back to being an european colony, dunno how that's not important.
President Porfiro Diaz of mexico was gifted Napoleons battle sword from The battle of Austerlitz at Les Invalides which is where Diaz lived his remaining years after he was exiled from Mexico
"when did we stop thinking of stability as a luxury? Because I imagine that Mexico never did." Que Dios te bendiga Señor. It's terrifying seeing my fellow countrymen making the mistakes I see made across mesoamerican history. This was a veeeerrry important video. Again, God bless you sir
Not just "Corn" my man Tomato, Chile (spicy and sweet peppers), Vanilla, Chocolate, Squash (winter/summer squash)/Courgettes, Avocado, Beans, Gum Chicle (bubble gum),Rubber, Cotton (Mexican Cotton makes up 90% of the worlds cotton today), Sweet Potato, amaranth, Chia, Peanuts etc. Also Potatos but this was cultivated first and mostly eaten by the Andean people like the Incas also Nicotiana rustica Aztec Tobacco much stronger than Nicotiana tabacum the common tobacco cultivated by Caribbean natives.
Mexico and Peru basically created a culinary revolution in every country in the world all thanks to new foods and spices. There are still many more vegetables and fruits that came from these regions, and animal meat like turkey, for example.
David Earea where else are the gringos gonna get their drugs? when the us had prohibition they came down to get drunk. meanwhile the us has provided 70% (likely higher) of the guns in mexico (where guns are illegal). the cartels may be mexican, but the bullets are american.
@@soundapodaca -Point taken, but even if guns and bullets are available, it still takes someone to buy those same guns and bullets, regardless of where they come from. So, who did the buying?
As a Mexican and French person our history really pulls some strings in my mind. Like I love both my cultures but there is so much terrible stuff that happened its hard to comprehend
Mexico: After such tremendous inestability and cruel civil wars, now it is time for true democracy and fair elections for once and for all. 21:03 *PRI has entered the chat*
A very important remark that was omitted is that the Conquistadors and the allied enemy tribes defeated the Aztecs only because of the catastrophic smallpox outbreak that the Spaniards carried that completely ravaged the Aztecs which had no immunological defenses against it
When I hear the before the end period of the mayans the people rebel against the powerful and rich protesting and looting before disappearing my first taught was... Corona viruz
My grandfather was one of the few that’s still spoke Mayan in my family. I still wish my mom had learned Mayan when he tried to teach her. He taught me a bit but I wish I learned more
You look too caucasian tho, your indigenous percentage is probably in the (0.3,0.5,0.7) which is hardly hardly even visible to what the true natives looked like, should look into your true origins history, I think the Spaniards created Salsa and had some christian empire, should learn more of that instead.
@@woozyz2769 wow nothing like being ignorant on Christmas Eve. You do know we come in many different colors right. I don’t need a stranger telling me my heritage or culture.
@@Dianis1221_ and the audacity they had calling you “too caucasian” 🙄🙄 I even looked at your profile and said “caucasian WHERE??” 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️ don’t worry Dianela, you’re right, you don’t need a stranger to validate your identity, but if it counts, i just say that I’m proud of you for acknowledging your roots and wanting to reconnect with them
@@woozyz2769 You know that skin tone means nothing right? I know a guy that is a quarter Ethiopian and is white as a sheet of paper. Just because she is “on the lighter side,” doesn’t mean that she doesn’t have ancestry there.
I usually watch cat and music videos videos all day long, however at 2:30 AM I feel that it is absolutely necessary to learn the history of every country in the world.
Saame 😂😂 I’m in bed right now in the middle of the night as well and my thirst for history of different countries and continents doesn’t seem to stop 🤔😆
I'm trying to lesson plan about the Mexican Revolution...but none of the books or articles I was reading made sense to me because I didn't have any background on Mexico's history (except some passing knowledge of Aztec culture). This was SO incredibly helpful. This was exactly the quick, big-picture overview that I needed to better understand what in the world I was reading in the articles about the revolution. Thank you!!!!
Nice. I would like to hear or read their indigenous Native American language. The indigenous Native American Nahuatl language seems a bit overrated. Mayan sounds more interesting!
@Christopher Hernandez take a look at history ¿what color where the mongols? ¿Te romans? ¿The egypcians? ¿What color is the skin of the countless militias currently terrorizing africa and south America? Skin color doesn't mean anything, i hope you understand that
Very proud to have indigenous mexican ancestry, I have always been fascinated by the incredible culture and languages of the people that predate New Spain.
What actually changed though? Being conquered by another people was just called "Tuesday" there, and not being sacrificed afterwards was a slight improvement.
Jean Pabon part of the Aztec religion was Human Sacrifice and cannibalism, and both Aztec and Spanish culture intermixed, I don’t know how thats “suppression” of culture. And most of the Aztecs died of Diseases that were spread unintentionally.
@@elihu7995 and europeans have been eating mummies since the 12th century (at one point they stopped caring if the mummies were real or if the human meat was passed off as mummie meat).... that's also cannibalism. No culture is perfect and without sin. The Aztec people had a highly distinct, evolved, and beautifully diverse culture and most of it *WASN'T* human sacrifice and cannibalism. Secondly, did you know that in the Yucatan peninsula (once Spain had control of the territory, and the Europeans were settlers) the good ol' christian europeans found natives practicing their 'pagan' beliefs and violently tortured and murdered them? THAT'S suppression of culture. Good day.
Colombia has had nine civil wars. Conservatives vs. Liberals. In the last civil war a third player appeared, the communist. This got the conservatives and liberals to patch up some of there differences in order to concentrate on wiping out the communist groups. This is that never ending war which lasted 50 years into the 21 century.
7:25 As well as I know, these ones that were going to be sacrificed where not slaves nor somebody that was forced to it but, as ancient incriptions and bas-reliefs say, the mighty warriors were going to be sacrificed of their own will. As the legends say, ancient gods were received sacrifices from the strong warriors as a requests to do not end exictance of the humanity. Aztecs were beliving that if gods recieve offerings regularly, they can be calm assured that their world will not be destroyed by gods, for some unknown reason.
3:38 considering the classical Mayans are not around today then there calendars had to stop somewhere as there was no one left to continue making them. I am pretty sure today you can get a calendar that goes up to 2050 that predicts the moon cycles and major holidays. However, if the coronavirus wipes out society and that calendar was found it does not mean we predicted the world would end in 2050.
The Mayan calendar is cyclical and repeats every time it ends. Your point is the same as people in the year 3600 looking at our base 365/12 calendars and suggesting the world will end every 100 years.
Wow, increíble video, nunca pensé que harías uno de México tan pronto. Pero aparte de ser un entusiasta de la historia, me encanta la cultura de mi país. Es muy interesante escucharla desde otro punto de vista. Gracias por este video.
Sick and tired of my ancestors not being represented AT ALL in the history of Mexico. The aztecs were not the only powerful group of people at the time. The Purepecha (Tarascans) dominated the western/pacific part of a Mexico at the same time the aztecs were around. Time and again they defeated or had stalemates with the aztecs in war because their superiority in metal work. They eventually built a trade network with them and had forts along the border with the aztecs. Eventually the aztecs begged them for aid against the spanish which they denied them.
I did a bit of reading on this before the pandemic started and it’s really interesting honestly I’m surprised he left the Tarascans out. But if the Spanish where not envolved according to the book I was reading the aztecs were slowly trying to choke hold them, like a gradual chipping away at the tarascans. Though idk if it would have worked. There is so much about mesoamericana history that is just underrepresented sadly.
For real Purépechas and many other indigenous groups always get left out. Our ancestors had access to copper and knew how to forge it, which is why they held there own for a long time
@@emmanuelmorales98 Facts, I have genuine pride not being descended from Aztecs. Not that they weren't a great empire, but knowing that my ancestors were never defeated is awesome.
I'm Mexican, and I can tell that you don't just got the history right, but the feeling of instability that the nation has suffered for centuries, great video.
My favorite part will always be the history before the Spanish arrived. The Mexicas, the Mayans, the Toltecas... So epic! And people can visit several ruins of these civilizations! Everyone should be able to experience it by themselves! 😍
I don't know. Parts of the South are humid. I live in central Oaxaca which is mostly dry and arid, I think you're referring to places like the Sierra Sur (humid/hot) and Sierra Norte (wet/cold).
A most xlnt video. You hit all the major events of Mexican history in a very short amount of time, and I'm sure a lot of folks will want to know more. Bravo!
It sounds funny when you say civil war. Cause we call it mexican revolution due to the end of slavery and more rights and land to the native americans.
Im Mexican and I have studied history for several years. This is a great video to give the world an objective glimpse of the complicated Mexican history. Thank you!
A lot of people don’t realize that it wasn’t weaponry that destroyed the Aztecs but disease. The Aztecs were actually holding their own quite well until disease took them out. Glad you mentioned it
I agree, the level of quality, critical commentary, and pure history are a breath of fresh air. I personally enjoyed the Glorious Revolution season. It gives a context to the modern British monarchy, parliament, and early modern Europe.
It's really complicated... Even Mexicans have divided opinions on this to this day. Some think Juarez was good and Diaz a dictator. Others think Juarez was a betrayer who almost sold us and Diaz saved us. Liberals used foreign interventionism while conservatives kept to themselves. And vice versa.
17:03 Not only that half, the whole southern half of the US has Spanish names, all the way to the Eastern coast. In fact so does Texas. Texas comes from the word "Tejas"
Spanish is european so if you are mexican i dont get your pride in that you should be prideful that USA had náhuatl names not spanish an european latín langauge from spain who conquer you
@@francoisdaureville323 like if Náhuatl was in all of Mexico, no, we should be proud if those states were named by a Mexican, Spanish being a european language it doesn't mean anything
@@elcaballerodelasplagas3583 it means everything and those states were named by spanish people california texas etc.... spanish isnt native to América i dont get americas people pride with languages that arent theirs specially when they were Forced throught colonialism
@@francoisdaureville323 you say it like if all of us were native, you do know that most of us are mestizos right? Spanish blood also runs through our veins, a foreign won't tell me about what should i be proud or not
I'm quite surprised to find a video about Mexico's history where the country is not mocked by foreigners. Your approach towards it is both holistic and respectful.
Well. The you might have a problem since the video in some parts was so rushed. You can check the Mexican elementary and middle school textbooks in conaliteg web page and see that all of this actually is taught in school.
@@Alex53Ace Nah, both Mexico and the US don't know how to teach, that's the problem, I was born and lived in Mexico for 10 Years, pretty much finished elementary school in Mexico, in a private school incorporated to SEP, then moved to Utah and been living here ever since (Starting college in Canada next month). I too, learned more from this video than all my years studying in America and Mexico
15:27 The Trigarante flag colors actually mean this: White. The purity of the catholicism, the only religion allowed in the new nation. Green. Independece from Spain. Red. Union between all races born during the three centruries of Spanish colonialism.
They migrated to the north up to Yucatan and Chiapas due to great climate changes. Great migrations happened all around the globe at that time. For example the Barbarian invasions to the Roman Empire.
I have currently traced my ancestors to the early 1700’s and looked up this video to see what Mexico was like then. I had learned that my mothers’s home town contained almost all of my lineage and I have no doubt that I am part of the Indigenous Caxcan people of Nochistlan.

@@Randomdudefromtheinternet it is not a popular subject but some high school use the subject as an “elective” and colleges use it as class a lot ppl in Cali use this curriculum
Because Chicano studies is just Mexican American history mainly Californian Mexican American history they’re not really even in tune with Mexico and it’s authentic roots they’re like Taco Bell lol
I don’t like that USA people thinks that 5 de mayo is just “tacos, fiesta yay” but the real thing is that there was a battle with French called “Batalla en Puebla” that at the end, Mexico won.
@@nvtzitzzy3414 Méxicans use regular cowboy hats in farms, fields and special high hot temperature regions. Mexicans in big cities like Mexico City, Guadalajara and Puebla don’t. Even in coast cities most people use regular hats, not big ridiculous hats. It’s really weird in most regions to see someone wearing big hats. That’s just an stereotype.
WOW! As a former educator, current homeschool Mom ( with my last child in 8th!), and a lover of history, WELL DONE! Makes me want to read more about Spain Mexico, and so much more...
@@LuisFlores-tx4ee its sad how some Mexican Americans dont know Spanish. As a Mexican American that speaks spanish, i would never give this language up, i love it.
My great grandfather fought in the cristero war when he was only a young teenager on the side of the cristeros. His city was one of the main battlegrounds throughout the war, they made a movie about it as well.
Yoooooooooooo So cool bruh. For me it always seems appealing when the history of my country is narrated on another language than Spanish. Btw. Fun fact about "Día de Muertos". The Spanish Catholic Church considered a paganic and unholy practice to celebrate the deceased that they tried to convert them and get rid of that practice but to no change because it was so common and so engrained in the state of Michoacan that the Church just gave the Holy Avail and played along with ever since. Kudos from Mexico and stay safe from the COVID-19 WORLD TOUR
Watching these as a teenager, I often wondered at the thought of running my own value-driven channel like this one. After a long fascination with animation, I took up the challenge of finally building my own animated storytelling channel, and around 90h of strenuous work finally produced my first ever video just the other day. That's the impact of these masterpieces for me - they expand your horizons and make you seek value within your own self, so thank you for that! :)
I know you didn’t have too much time to spend on the Revolution, but to give the history of Mexico without mentioning either Emiliano Zapata or Pancho Villa is practically criminal. Still a great video, though.
@@sociedadnortena9514 Zapata was a major player in the 1917 Revolution( A reboot of the 1850 revolution) . It's like removing Washington from Mount Rushemore. Both Washington and Zapata were not lawyers but popular and likeable landowners with a Military background and family going way back.

Thank you so much for covering older states that predate the Aztec Empire. Oft they are left behind. There is much more than Aztecs and Mayas in the History of Mexico as you showed it.
There's a lot to like about "Sweeny" vids. One of my favorite little details is how he always keeps the advancing date in the top corner so you can check what year everything is happening while he's explaining it.
Goddamnit I didn't notice that, and a few moments I felt in the need of getting precise years for better reference. But now I know, for the coming videos.
Now that mexico is going through such hard times with the type of government in power it's nice to see these kinds of videos that remind me not to hate my country, but to celebrate the beauty of it and hope for better times.
I love your animations! Btw... my mother's side of the family still speak Zapotec. They are from Oaxaca. I'm happy to know the language hasn't been lost.
I worked with some gentlemen from Oaxaca. Its interesting to finally hear what its called they just told me it was a dialect of espanol. It sounded like a mash of chinese and spanish to me, I have learned both throughout my years but I couldn't even begin to comprehend what they were saying haha, nor could the Mexicans I worked with.
Everytime the Mayan calender is mentioned on the internet, the Aztec calender is shown 98% of the time, including in this video. They were two different tribes who lived during two different times. They each had their own calender that were different from one another.
You know he did his homework when he is teaching the same things we mexicans are taught in school. BTW, I'm from Yucatan and fun fact: we take pride in the fact that even though we were divided, we resisted the Spanish longer than most others. My history teacher called us "The Vietnam of the new world"
The animated history of Romania would be fun. I was born in America and have been raised here, but my mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and so on were born and raised there, and I've tried to be very in touch with that side of my heritage. It's actually extremely interesting, and I think that could not only make you see the other sides of eastern-Europe but be the differing factor between you and other historians/animators. It would be really fun to see that! Hope you see this. Have a good day :)

In case you're wondering why Mexico is pronounced like 'Meshico', there are two reasons.
1. In Nahuatl, 'x' is pronounced like 'sh'.
2. In Spanish, 'x' was pronounced like 'sh' or 'zh' in the 16th~17th century. This is why they used 'x' to write down Nahuatl's 'sh' sound. As time passed, 'x' became a voiceless velar fricative, which is why 'Mexico' is pronounced something like 'Mehico' by modern Spanish speakers. The change didn't happen in Nahuatl, so it's still pronounced like 'sh' to this day.
Thank you ❤
Pretty much the same for Oaxaca too right?
@@northstar1727 Oaxaca comes from the nahuatl word Huaxyacac because of the type of tree that was found in the area. So yes it would be pronounced Wash-ya-kak
@@northstar1727 yes the X is and always will be pronounced as SHH.
As a Mexican we're are taught that the X is spelled as a J. Oaxaca is Oajaca, Mexico as Mejico and Texas as Tejas. So I don't know how right you are.

I’m so happy you made the clarification that Mexicas never call themselves “Aztecs”.
Do you know where the term "Aztecs" orginated from then?
@@SmileyGirl22100 Yes, Aztlan (which could mean white place or crane's place) was the original place (or mitological depending on the sources) where the nomad people came from, somewhere around the north of Aridoamerica. For generations they travelled south to Mesoamerica, where they finally settled where the profecy became true (the eagle eating a snake in a cactus, like the Mexican flag) and they decided to found Mexico-Tenochtitlan, to stop being nomadic and settle as a new civilization, renouncing to the name aztecs and calling themselves Mexicas from that point onwards.

I like it how you pronounced Mexico as Meshico. Whenever you see Nahuatl language and see an X it’s pronounced with an Sh sound.
Except that the word isn't in Nahuatl but in Spanish so it shouldn't be pronounced with a sh sound, the name comes from "Mejico" (pronounced Meh-He-Co) which is how the spaniards renamed Mexihco-Tenochtitlan after they founded New Spain.
The Spaniards romanized the Nahuatl language that’s why it’s an X, but there is no writing of the Nahuatl language only in hieroglyphics. But I’m just saying that the original way they said Mexico in the Nahuatl language is Meshico.
yeah, but not just as an Sh, also as our J (pronounced as H in english), as an S, also Ch (like sh but less smooth), and also as a regular X (or cs)
not true the X has many ways to be pronounciated
@@fireproxy9707 the mexica did have writing and it still exists today. They had dedicated glyphs for dedicated sounds, it just wasn't standardized. It can be compared to modern Japanese in that they have glyphs with meanings and glyphs for sounds like kanji and hiragana. The standardized part just means they could write 1 as 一, いち, イチ, ichi, or how ever they wanted in a sentence as long as they reader could make a guess and eventually make the "write" sound
I have currently traced my ancestors to the early 1700’s and looked up this video to see what Mexico was like then. I had learned that my mothers’s home town contained almost all of my lineage and I have no doubt that I am part of the Indigenous Caxcan people of Nochistlan.

I was looking for a video to show my daughter about the Ukraine’s history, and I founded it in your channel, but I also found this video about México’s history, and I loved it. Your way of explaining our history is very easy and understanding. Because in real life is very complex. We are a beautiful amalgam of races, colors, flavors, languages and cultures. Our country has been in a turmoil long before the Spanish conquest and still is. Stability seems so far away, an utopia, difficult to achieve. I hope one day, we are able to embrace our past and make peace with it, to star a new era, where our leaders stop fighting to empower themselves, but to empower our country. Mexico is so beautiful, we just hadn’t been able to see our own beauty!
If you’re Mexican , get your AncestryDNA done. It’s definitely worth seeing how mixed we really are. My list was long and so are other Mexicans I know.
Do they give specifics as what Native American groups the DNA belongs to? Like if they tell me you have 5% Native American, I wouldn’t pay them 300 bucks or so to tell me something I already know. If the say 2.5 % Huichol, 2.5% Apache for example, that would be really interesting and revealing
They do tell you what region your ancestors came from in Mexico. My parents are from Zacatecas and it showed that half of my DNA was Native American pertaining to the Chichimec or Chichimeca. Which checks out. Mexico is such an amazing country. I know so much about American history yet not much about Mexican history. To discover the parts where both histories intertwine is intriguing. I want to learn more about Zacatecas. My parents didn’t finish elementary school in their village, so they don’t even know much about their own history either. I’m first generation American but I’m also aware of how important it is to learn about our parents’ nation’s history. Especially when I live in a Southwestern state like southern California. This U.S. state’s history has Mexico’s history as a main character to its origins as well.
@@RavenDots115 omg that is so cool, i am about 79% olmec and the rest is Spaniard and african
There's a RUclipsr that did his and he was from a indigenous village so he had no European ancestry in his DNA. There is also a community on one of the ancestry websites that help Mexicans trace their indigenous origins. Apparently the Catholic church keeps great records because some have been able to see through marriage documents when 2 natives were converted and given Spanish names.

As well as I know, these ones that were going to be sacrificed where not slaves nor somebody that was forced to it but, as ancient incriptions and bas-reliefs say, the mighty warriors were going to be sacrificed of their own will. As the legends say, ancient gods were received sacrifices from the strong warriors as a requests to do not end exictance of the humanity. Aztecs were beliving that if gods recieve offerings regularly, they can be calm assured that their world will not be destroyed by gods, for some unknown reason.
3:38 considering the classical Mayans are not around today then there calendars had to stop somewhere as there was no one left to continue making them. I am pretty sure today you can get a calendar that goes up to 2050 that predicts the moon cycles and major holidays. However, if the coronavirus wipes out society and that calendar was found it does not mean we predicted the world would end in 2050.

Sick and tired of my ancestors not being represented AT ALL in the history of Mexico. The aztecs were not the only powerful group of people at the time. The Purepecha (Tarascans) dominated the western/pacific part of a Mexico at the same time the aztecs were around. Time and again they defeated or had stalemates with the aztecs in war because their superiority in metal work. They eventually built a trade network with them and had forts along the border with the aztecs. Eventually the aztecs begged them for aid against the spanish which they denied them.
Exactly! What about Olmecas, Izapa, Teotihuacan, Zapotecas, Mixtec, Huastec, Purepecha, Totonacs and the Toltec! So many
I did a bit of reading on this before the pandemic started and it’s really interesting honestly I’m surprised he left the Tarascans out. But if the Spanish where not envolved according to the book I was reading the aztecs were slowly trying to choke hold them, like a gradual chipping away at the tarascans. Though idk if it would have worked. There is so much about mesoamericana history that is just underrepresented sadly.
And now you have los jalisco nueva generacion, loz zetas, sinaloa cartel, la familia michoacana, Juarez cartel, beltran leyva cartel
For real Purépechas and many other indigenous groups always get left out. Our ancestors had access to copper and knew how to forge it, which is why they held there own for a long time

It's that victim mentality that's going around.
mexicans didn't use african slaves. If any country is mocked it's their northern neighbor.
I learned more in this video than my years of school in both MEX and USA. Ccool video , so Grateful i Found this channel
Well. The you might have a problem since the video in some parts was so rushed. You can check the Mexican elementary and middle school textbooks in conaliteg web page and see that all of this actually is taught in school.
@@Alex53Ace Nah, both Mexico and the US don't know how to teach, that's the problem, I was born and lived in Mexico for 10 Years, pretty much finished elementary school in Mexico, in a private school incorporated to SEP, then moved to Utah and been living here ever since (Starting college in Canada next month). I too, learned more from this video than all my years studying in America and Mexico
I seriously wondered how you were going to do the complete history of all of Mexico in under 30 minutes! But I am fully pleased with the result!
Great episode - Mexico has such a rich and interesting history
15:27 The Trigarante flag colors actually mean this:
White. The purity of the catholicism, the only religion allowed in the new nation.
Green. Independece from Spain.
Red. Union between all races born during the three centruries of Spanish colonialism.
no
Well this depends on your sources too, but I guess those were the meanings at some point.
Indeed.
Yes, I remember being taught that at school
true
I am Guatemalan and even for Guatemalans, is hard to find evidence as to what happened to the great Mayan civilization.
as i know in 1600 maybe the end of 1600 the mayas comfronted the religious neospanish and much much murdered but some survived

I worked with a man who spoke Mayan once when I was much younger. I wish I stayed in touch. I have much to ask him
They migrated to the north up to Yucatan and Chiapas due to great climate changes. Great migrations happened all around the globe at that time. For example the Barbarian invasions to the Roman Empire.
The MAYANS left and went to Mars.
I have currently traced my ancestors to the early 1700’s and looked up this video to see what Mexico was like then. I had learned that my mothers’s home town contained almost all of my lineage and I have no doubt that I am part of the Indigenous Caxcan people of Nochistlan. When you brought up the chichimecas, it brought a tear to my eye.
Thank you for this video.
This is the most beautiful video briefly describing Mexico's history
My maiden name is Villegas too!😊
This is how history should be taught in schools. This was fantastic
why do I feel like I learned more in this video than in an entire semester of Chicano Studies..
Chicano what??
“Chicano studies” the f..?
Is that even a thing? Never heard of that term
@@Randomdudefromtheinternet it is not a popular subject but some high school use the subject as an “elective” and colleges use it as class a lot ppl in Cali use this curriculum
Because Chicano studies is just Mexican American history mainly Californian Mexican American history they’re not really even in tune with Mexico and it’s authentic roots they’re like Taco Bell lol
I don’t like that USA people thinks that 5 de mayo is just “tacos, fiesta yay” but the real thing is that there was a battle with French called “Batalla en Puebla” that at the end, Mexico won.
White people celebrate it more than Mexicans and they don't even know what they are celebrating
I love ❤️ Mexico 🇲🇽 from the Philippines 🇵🇭
Love from Assyrians to Mexicans ❤️
We love you guys❤
Sending lots of love and hugs from Mexico
Thank you
Back to you Assyrians!!
My Niece is half Assyrian and half Mexican!! And my sister has my nephew on the way! Another Mexican/Assyrian! So excited
As a Mexican, I take my sombrero off to your amazing research! Great content, nice and objective summary.
Keep feeding US stereotypes.
@@SociedadLectoraAmericana My family in Mexico wears sombreros very often . It is not a US stereotype, its culture.🤨
@@nvtzitzzy3414 Méxicans use regular cowboy hats in farms, fields and special high hot temperature regions. Mexicans in big cities like Mexico City, Guadalajara and Puebla don’t. Even in coast cities most people use regular hats, not big ridiculous hats. It’s really weird in most regions to see someone wearing big hats. That’s just an stereotype.
@@SociedadLectoraAmericana you obviously dont live around or ever interact with hispanics
WOW! As a former educator, current homeschool Mom ( with my last child in 8th!), and a lover of history, WELL DONE! Makes me want to read more about Spain Mexico, and so much more...
I’m Mexican American so I’m glad I got a history lesson about Mexico 🇲🇽
Kinda because they were a lot of errors that he made about our history
@@senpaiuwu5816 like how the purepechas were one of the few to beat the Aztecs specifically
Please don’t forget about your roots
I love mexicans and Mexico
Love from Germany ❤
@@LuisFlores-tx4ee its sad how some Mexican Americans dont know Spanish. As a Mexican American that speaks spanish, i would never give this language up, i love it.
My great grandfather fought in the cristero war when he was only a young teenager on the side of the cristeros. His city was one of the main battlegrounds throughout the war, they made a movie about it as well.
My great-grandparents took my baby grandma to the US to get baptized, because of the Guerra Cristera.
Yoooooooooooo
So cool bruh. For me it always seems appealing when the history of my country is narrated on another language than Spanish.
Btw. Fun fact about "Día de Muertos". The Spanish Catholic Church considered a paganic and unholy practice to celebrate the deceased that they tried to convert them and get rid of that practice but to no change because it was so common and so engrained in the state of Michoacan that the Church just gave the Holy Avail and played along with ever since.
Kudos from Mexico and stay safe from the COVID-19 WORLD TOUR
We en casi todo México mesoamericano lo festejaba
iirc It was similar in Cuba with Santeria. But for us it was just worshiping African gods mixed with catholic saints. Gotta love syncretism.

Watching these as a teenager, I often wondered at the thought of running my own value-driven channel like this one. After a long fascination with animation, I took up the challenge of finally building my own animated storytelling channel, and around 90h of strenuous work finally produced my first ever video just the other day. That's the impact of these masterpieces for me - they expand your horizons and make you seek value within your own self, so thank you for that! :)
I know you didn’t have too much time to spend on the Revolution, but to give the history of Mexico without mentioning either Emiliano Zapata or Pancho Villa is practically criminal. Still a great video, though.
They arnt that important when you really look at all the actors. only the current regime has made them overly significant
@@sociedadnortena9514 Zapata was a major player in the 1917 Revolution( A reboot of the 1850 revolution) . It's like removing Washington from Mount Rushemore. Both Washington and Zapata were not lawyers but popular and likeable landowners with a Military background and family going way back.
More imporantly Zapata had the majority population behind him(Nahautl, Zapotec) . Remember that Zapata spoke Nahautl so that made him super valuable and relatable to Maderos cause amongst the majority population. Read some of Zapata's letters, dude knew his shi*
'Message to be passed around
To the towns that are located in the area
that fought under General Arenas.
Now, that the dwellers of this earth,
of those towns, finish shaking out
that black, evil life of the Carrancismo
my heart is very happy
and with the dignity
in the name of those who fight in the ranks,
and to you all I send
a happy greeting
and with all of my heart
I invite those towns,
those who are there, to join the fight
for a righteous mandate
to not vainly issue statements,
to not allow to be done away with
your good way of life.
We salute those fighters
who turn towards this joyous labour
and confront the greed
in this great war,
which can never end, nor will ever end
until the end of the black tyrant
of that glutton, who mocks
and always cheat people
and whose name is Venustiano Carranza,
who takes the glory out of war
and who shames our motherland, Mexico
completely dishonouring it.
Keep in mind, he wrote the above in NAHAUTL.

Thank you so much for covering older states that predate the Aztec Empire. Oft they are left behind. There is much more than Aztecs and Mayas in the History of Mexico as you showed it.
I feel like I'm so early Hernan Cortez hasn't even shown up yet.
@Gazbanger ...No it's a history joke...
@Gazbanger tis a joke right?
Then you're up for a funny surprise!

*I’m so happy you made the clarification that Mexicas never call themselves “Aztecs”.*
Actually the Tarascans were a really powerful empire who defeated the Aztecs every single time they tried to conquer their territory.
I am descendant of the Tarascos from Michoacan mixed with Spanish blood of course

Oml I’m so done I have seen you Kim jong un everywhere on like all my videos lmao you are always in the comments
In 2017 our corrupt president Peña Nieto, under orders of Trump, expelled the North Korean ambassador from the country.
There's a lot to like about "Sweeny" vids. One of my favorite little details is how he always keeps the advancing date in the top corner so you can check what year everything is happening while he's explaining it.
Goddamnit I didn't notice that, and a few moments I felt in the need of getting precise years for better reference. But now I know, for the coming videos.

I’m not Mexican but I really admire the culture and history
Now that mexico is going through such hard times with the type of government in power it's nice to see these kinds of videos that remind me not to hate my country, but to celebrate the beauty of it and hope for better times.
Que viva el PRI y la dinastía Atlacomulco.

Por que dices eso cuando el gobierno nunca servia
AMLO is a good president thats actually stabilizing mexico
Then you did not understand anything... you are an imbecile.
Literally the first time I've ever considered getting curiosity stream from an in video ad
I love your animations!
Btw... my mother's side of the family still speak Zapotec. They are from Oaxaca. I'm happy to know the language hasn't been lost.
I worked with some gentlemen from Oaxaca. Its interesting to finally hear what its called they just told me it was a dialect of espanol. It sounded like a mash of chinese and spanish to me, I have learned both throughout my years but I couldn't even begin to comprehend what they were saying haha, nor could the Mexicans I worked with.
@@jmas225 it’s one of the 60+ indigenous dialects that exist in Mexico😁
Everytime the Mayan calender is mentioned on the internet, the Aztec calender is shown 98% of the time, including in this video. They were two different tribes who lived during two different times. They each had their own calender that were different from one another.
What if the Mayans and Oltecs were literally like: "aight imma head out"?
Like a trailer park dad going to get a pack of cigarettes....they gone
U just blew my mind (good joke)

You know he did his homework when he is teaching the same things we mexicans are taught in school.
BTW, I'm from Yucatan and fun fact: we take pride in the fact that even though we were divided, we resisted the Spanish longer than most others. My history teacher called us "The Vietnam of the new world"
The animated history of Romania would be fun. I was born in America and have been raised here, but my mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and so on were born and raised there, and I've tried to be very in touch with that side of my heritage. It's actually extremely interesting, and I think that could not only make you see the other sides of eastern-Europe but be the differing factor between you and other historians/animators. It would be really fun to see that! Hope you see this. Have a good day :)
Good idea!I love my country's history and it's really interesting!
Romania would make an interesting video! Maybe Serbia too lol
This is great, thanks for doing it.
Would love to see other Latin American countries
