      Simple History, you have hidden my comments about your mistakes under video of Magellan on your channel (I dont see them from other accounts). Therefore I must repeat it here. Your frase "Charles I of Spain" is a big error. More correct is to use Carlos, not Charles. You ever heard that modern Spanish king Juan Carlos I. was called as John-Charles I.? For all educated people from contemporaries to the modern Spaniards great monarch that you mentioned as Charles 1st is the Emperor Carlos 5. Nobody ever called him or calls him Carlos the First. Hernan Cortes addressed him in letters as Carlos 5. The Spain didnt exists in the first half of the 16th century. There were kingdom of Castile and the kingdom of Aragon, which the Emperor Karl V possessed .. and only for kingdom of Castile (not to Spain) he formally was Carlos 1st. But for Aragon (and this is half of Spain) he was Carlos 2nd. Therefore, to say that the Emperor Carlos 5 (as he is actually called) is King Carlos 1-st of Spain is factually wrong. As emperor he was the king of a dozen kingdoms. Including Castile under number 1 and Aragon under number 2. And last moment///SimpleHistory, I'm not fan of your style, your graphics are primitive and unfit to convey features of well-known persons. But your work could be radically much better if at least for kings (Elizabeth 1, Carlos V, Philipp II etc), you can be able to use real portraits or their accurate graphic copies

      My favorite part of Drake's story is when his ancestor Nathan Drake discovers his journal in his coffin with a reporter named Elena Fisher, turns out ol Francis Drake faked his death, and it eventually leads him to the Amazon where sir Francis was chasing El Dorado, that's when he finds a German U-boat in the jungle. He discovers El dorado is actually a giant gold statue and it's been moved by the Spanish to a South Pacific island. From there he follows the clues and learns the treasure is cursed and destroyed the Spanish colony on the island and turned the colonists to zombies. Sir Francis Drake learned this also and tried to stop it from leaving the island by burning his own fleet. Nathan then discovers an old WW2 German submarine base for u-boats, explaining the u-boat in the Amazon rainforest. After learning the Germans wanted to weaponize it but ended up destroying them, a couple mercenaries who have been chasing drake want to do the same. One ends up betraying the other but soon Nathan Drake stops him too and El dorado goes sinking along with the merc into the ocean. Nathan Drake saves his friend Victor Sullivan and Elena Fisher, they manage to keep some gold artifacts from the Spanish and they take a boat and sail off into the sunset.

    I can't even begin to imagine what it would of been like for Drake and his crew. What must of felt like endless days and nights at sea in all kinds of weather, occasional skirmishes with Spanish ships and seeing all those tropical people and places.
    It'd be one hell of an experience to take that journey now (without the piracy...maybe) never mind back then when you didn't really have much idea what you would come across.
    Hats off to all those early explorers. Especially the originals whoever they were, sailing off to places like Australia and remaining isolated for thousands of years.

Drake was such a bad navigator that in the first attemp to get out of harbour in uk, he almost destroyed his ships, so they ahd to come back to uk coast and repair them.
      .AFTER ONE YAER AND HALF , almost two years, navigating for drake portuguese soromeno RUNs AWAYS AND ESCAPED FrOM GOLDEN HIND,. ITS IN HSIOTRY BOOKS IN PORTUGAL, AND PROBABLY IN DRAKES DIARY, BUT BRITS HIDDEN EVERYTHING, WHY? they lie to their people.
      NOW YOU KNOW WHY. HE NEVER CIRCUNAVEGATED THE GLOBE. at that time navigation had to know the winds and currents , portuguese waited months to go to brasil, everything had to be calculated,and had to wait for the certain time. so drake by that time would never had cross the pacific, winds and current would hae pushed him to america coast,back, he would have killed and sunk the ship trying to do that. but the truth is HE WAS OCCUPIED STEALING THE SPANISH privvate ships using the suprise element TO FILL HIS SHIP. HE WAITED ONE YEaRA AND HALF UNTIL SPANISH FORGOT HIM AN STOP LOOKING FOR HIM AN THEN RETURNED.if you make the maths this all match, but if you believe in his lies, nothing will match, HE WAS JUST A PIRATE, HE WASNT ANY EXPLORER OR WAHTEVER,
      DRAKES NAVIGATION IS A SCAM , THAS WHY WVERYTHING IS HIDDEN AND NUMBERS AND INFO ARE NOT ACCURATED, AFTER he REACHED mexico....
      DRAKES HISOTRY IS A FUL LIE..sORRY ABOUT THAT YOU GOVERNMENT HIDDES THE TRUTH TO YOU.

    The English Armada, also known as the Counter Armada or the Drake-Norris Expedition, was a fleet of warships sent to Spain by Queen Elizabeth I of England in 1589, during the undeclared Anglo-Spanish War (1585-1604) and the Eighty Years' War. It was led by Sir Francis Drake as admiral and Sir John Norreys as general, and failed to drive home the advantage England had won upon the destruction of the Spanish Armada in the previous year. The Spanish victory marked a revival of Philip II's naval power through the next decade.[2]

    Francis Drake's voyages are amongst those pieces of history that I had _some_ knowledge of but never really bothered to genuinely look into. I didn't really know he circumnavigated the globe or whether he even made it back to England alive so it was kind of like watching a recap of an HBO TV show I wasn't familiar with. And thus when you said he decided to make it back home via the freaking _Pacific,_ I was like "oh you gotta be kidding me".
    Seriously, it will never cease to amaze me how much balls it had to take for anybody to actually sign up for this kind of voyaging into the unknown. If somebody told me they would try to do what those two Spanish dudes managed a few dozen years before because the winds were favorable to them, with the perspective of a prolonged and torturing death from thirst and exposure in case things don't turn out as great, I'd be like "Man, fuck this shit, I'm staying here, gonna get myself a nice Indian lady and be all spiritual and stuff, but you guys go ahead, don't let me stop you. Howgh!". Alternatively, I guess it would also make sense to try and make it to the Spanish Mexico and then catch a ship back to Europe-although it'd probably be a tad problematic to smuggle out all of that gold without the Spanish taking possession of it in the process.

      He sailed over others maps, rioting already settled cities and taking men to continue the trip, before him two other expeditions circunavigated the world. So he was not even the second. Drake was just a well paid pirate, going where nobody expected him and take undefended positions, that's why he could not do that twice. But propaganda is a nice thing alright, so that's the reason very few know his many defeats and failures.

    How did drake / sailors know what country / continent they were next to? It blows my mind he travelled the planet and ended back in England.

      Parsons Magellan had also done it and was the first to do so. I imagine Drake was just following his route as it is mentioned he found the same place. Also I believe Magellan had a writer with him on the journey. so his writings would be known by the time drake done the journey. Which shows as Drake pretty much followed the same route across the Pacific. Crossing the Indian ocean would of been easier to navigate as their would be wildly available routes as Portugal regularly went through that route, to get to the spice islands. So it really only the Pacific Ocean that was mostly unknown at the time despite being sailed by Magellan many years before.

      Once he reached the Philippines, it was easy, over the pacific he probably just kept heading west.

    Sir Francis Drake became quite infamous among the Spanish for his raids against their ships and empire, so much so that they nicknamed him “El Draco”. Another fun fact: Drake nearly became a victim of the Spanish Inquisition while he and his crew were prisoners of the Spanish on the eastern coast of Mexico. They were put on trial for their Protestant faith, as the Catholic Spaniards did not take kindly to what they saw as “heresy”.

    Can you do a video about how the Polynesians spread? What boats they used, how they gathered/stored food and water, timeline of when they found islands and all the rest of it.
    It's not something I've really heard much about and I think it's really interesting how they covered such distances and how the different groups evolved.

    Now that we are on the topic of making it difficult for the Spanish in America, maybe you guys should look at a Dutch voyage there. The Battle in the Bay of Matanzas, for example, was fought there, near Cuba, and with that enormous loot it was possible for the United Provinces to force out Spain from the Netherlands.

    • @kuaser

      Actually the Spanish helped the americans to independence from England

    • @Gloriaimperial1
      @Gloriaimperial1 2 года назад +5

      If it were for lack of gold... The Spanish fleet of the Indies made 600 trips between America and Spain, and another 600 back. The English captured 2 fleets without a declaration of war, in port. The Dutch captured 2 fleets. Success of the Spanish fleet of 99.75%. Spain reinvested 70% of its wealth in America (80% in the 18th century) to create a Western society there. The Dutch never had that investment. Everything was for Amsterdam. But Mexico and Peru produce more gold and silver in any year of the 21st century than the Spanish empire in 100 years. I don't think a cargo of captured treasure ships would make much of a difference.
      Spain stayed in the other 10 provinces of the Netherlands (Belgium, Luxembourg, Northern France or Union of Arras and some German towns, which are Catholic) until 1715. The Dutch were never able to conquer those territories. I think no one won or lost. During the 80-year war, Spain waged another 32 wars in the world, 20 in Europe, against France, England, Protestant Germany, the Turkish empire... Only that could reduce Spanish power. But we conquered Paris in 1590, we invaded Germany, we threatened England with three invasion fleets, we annexed the Portuguese empire, we defeated the Turks at Lepanto, and we had NATO in Italy for centuries. That saved the Catholic religion in Europe. Capture of a fleet with a cargo of treasure? I dont know...

      But Magellan never complete circumnavigation the Earth when he died by Lapu Lapu fighters in The Philippines. Sebastian Elcano expedition done it but he's a year lately to successfully circumnavigation the Earth when Henrique De Malacca or Henry The Black from Malacca firstly ever human completely circumnavigation the Earth after he survived from Datu Lapu Lapu fighting then he seek refugee from a Siamese trading ship to reach Malacca City harbour and finally he back his hometown.
