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.

@@kman7681 good stuff, interesting finding everything possible about him especially being related so were somehow related..distantly.. hello relative lol
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.
Yeah pretty much drake and the english followed on the foot steps of the first Spanish explorers their expeditions proof the earth was round. Imagine sailing into the unknown with limited knowledge and the technology of the era knowing no one’s gone there before 🙌to the Spanish!
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. How did you leave all this out?
Fun fact: In 1966-7, yachtsman Francis Chichester shattered world speed records by doing a solo circumnavigation in just eight months, with only one stop, in Australia. He became the second English sailor to be knighted Sir Francis, and the ceremony was performed with the same sword that had knighted Francis Drake.

@@somosn4241 Before sailing for Spain, Magellan (Magalhães) had sailed to the far East with Portugal, (there, he acquired a slave which he called Henrique), he then sailed back to Portugal and then went in service of Spain in his most famed voyage, reaching the far East from the opposite side and completing the first circumnavigation along with Henrique. Thus, Magalhães and Henrique were the first two men to circumnavigate the world.
Drake, Magellan, I can’t imagine the extraordinary amount of courage these two had. Of course, not forgetting the others of a similar ilk who chose to brave the seemingly endless oceans.

Its just a lie. He was a cheap pirate, pirates are thieves and liars, you trust ina criminal??? DRAKES NAVIGATION IS A scam, THAS WHY WVERYTHING IS HIDDEN AND NUMBERS AND INFO ARE NOT ACCURATED.. FRAKES CAPTURED AND KIDNAPED A PORTUGUESE CAPTAIN CALLED SOROMENHO, for that he did put himself in the portuguese routes in africa, AND WAS SEROMENHO THAT NAVEGATED AFTEr BEHING CAPTURED.. 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. AND BY THE WAY HE DIDNT MADE ANYTHING new or SPECIAL, to the world drake is just a thieve and a lair, i mean, a cheap pirate.
@@pedrosilvaslva2625 Channeling your King Philip the 2nd there. Who offered a reward of 20,000 ducats (£6 million or $8 million in today's currency approx) for the capture or death of El Draque. Curiously, this persons account might actually have some truth to it, at least in terms of brutality. Before Drakes voyage shown here, he killed 600 Scots and Irishmen at the Rathlin Island massacre. So he was no stranger to committing foul deeds.
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.
The next of these kinds of journeys will be the journey to other planets. Do humans still have the guts and will they had during these times to explore the universe?
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.

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] en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_Armada
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.
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.
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”.
An excellent and well made educational inquiry as usual. At first I did not believe I would be interested in this topic but you pleasantly surprised me with your unique way of telling the story. I really enjoyed it, thanks for teaching me this! Have a great day and continue to do great things!
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.
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...
These videos are so interesting and well made! I am a history teacher and use so many of these videos in class, please keep them coming! May I suggest a series on the European colonization of Africa?
Back then, so long as you had enough food and water, even on a small, wooden, rickety ship, you could go anywhere around the world, no need for fuel and electricity, just wind. Still, it took a lot of guts and tons of balls. Sir Francis Drake and crew: CERTIFIED BADASSES!
Amazing that he accomplished this at a time it was still thought there was a great southern continent and a northwest passage. Circled the world without even close to full knowledge of it. Amazing. Great video.
Drake is someone that is mentioned in grade school but i never really learned of his achievements. Id be very interested in learning about more explorers and lesser known figures.
I am a relative of his on my grandmas side. I can honestly say the wanderlust is still strong generations after his travels. I wish I had inherited some of that Spanish gold 🤣
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.
Great video! It is amazing how you fitted a story that spanned the whole globe into one video and managed to keep it simple and interesting! This is the type of content I want to see!
Great work! Love your video, I've only heard francis drake name in my school in Indonesia. He was just mentioned as one of the English that came by to Maluku Island. Never knew he circumnavigate the world before! oh and there's a little error around 9:00 where Maluku island is wrongly written as Malaku island.
He was so close to Australia, New Zealand and Antartica.. it's amazing reading up how a Southern Land had been theorized in so many different methods from people of various faiths, including scientific. Over a 1500 yr period before even being fully announced and mapped by people of the known world at thst point. There's def explorers who if told of their discoveries when found, would be remembered in history forever but chose to keep it to themselves and/or their leaders in hope of keeping it all a secret forever from the other nations
The admiralty rate varied but was generally around 10%. There is some debate about how much Drake made off the voyage. The official total was recorded, but he didn't just sail into London on his return. He spent several days on the Isle of Wight waiting for news as to whether he was welcome. Douty had been the one man of noble birth on the voyage and Drake had executed him. Baron Burley and others had fomenting quite the scurrilous club of hate for him over that. Anyhow, while on the Isle of Wight Drake most likely offloaded some of the treasure so as to avoid the Admiralty and investor percentages. No one knows how much that was.
The amount of physical and mental strength required for such a massive undertaking is just ashtonishing. I think I would go crazy after 12 days at sea without sight of land let alone 68, not to mention their ships were more than likely incredibly low on food at that point.
Simple error correction for those who care... @ 0:14 Queen Elizabeth 1’s reign was 44 years from 1558-1603 not 5 years 1558-1563 as is displayed in this video.
Hello this is most likely the first video I've ever watched on Epic History TV and I was led here by Simple History's video on Magellan's trans navigation and since I love naval exploration and combat I am pleased I found your video's and I look forward for your next video
So, while Spain had a big empires sending fleets full of silver every year and managed to first circumnavigate the world and send a fleet every year in the Pacific, Drake failed miserably with 20000 troops in my then 2000 inhabitants town, A Coruña
Surprised to learn that Albion means Britain. I had always taken it to mean England, and England alone, so feeling that the video had made a mistake I checked..........and I was wrong. It can often be taken (poetically) to mean England, but just as often it can mean Britain (Great Britain). I was so confident of that, I'd have lost money on it - turns out that I'm not as clever as I thought I was. Every day is a school day.
Drake has a drum in Westminster Cathedral. On his deathbed he told his friends to beat the drum if England ever needed him. It was said to beat by itself just before WW2
It's always intrigued me to imagine what would have happened if Drake had discovered San Francisco bay. It's believed he landed just a few miles north and his search parties may well have discovered the bay if they'd simply crossed another low range of hills. The Golden Gate is easy to miss, often covered in fog and the hills of the East Bay make it look like more of the coastal range, but if he had, might New Albion have been a focus of British colonization. When the Spanish finally stumbled upon it, they realized it could become a major naval port and a huge area for agriculture in the Central Valley. How might history have changed?
When Spanish explorer Sabastion Cermeno and his ship the San Augustin were shipwrecked at Drakes Bay in 1595 only 16 years after Drake had been there he built a small boat to take his crew back to Mexico. His small boat hugged the coastline and sailed within 2 miles of the Golden Gate without seeing the entrance to San Francisco Bay.
@@kwd3109 It is very true that the Golden Gate is VERY hard to see from the ocean..The hills in the East Bay make it look like one unbroken chain of coastal hills. If the fog had been pouring into the bay they might have seen the gap, but that would have required exactly the right conditions. As we know, Europeans discovered the bay by heading overland and missing Monterey, which was their destination.
Even though I've read tons about Drake, you've told the story so wonderfully that I'm intrigued to re-read some of the details about the voyage. Thanks for this.

.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.
AND BY THE WAY HE DIDNT MADE ANYTHING new or SPECIAL, to the world drake is just a thieve and a lair, i mean, a cheap pirate.

Curiously, this persons account might actually have some truth to it, at least in terms of brutality.
Before Drakes voyage shown here, he killed 600 Scots and Irishmen at the Rathlin Island massacre. So he was no stranger to committing foul deeds.
pedro silva slva do you have a link to prove this I searched up Soromenho and he doesn’t even come up.
I swear this channel is getting better and better. Wonderful work!!!
Loved the style of this collab! I'd love to see more in the future!
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.
The crew probably all were shanghaied anyways lol
The next of these kinds of journeys will be the journey to other planets. Do humans still have the guts and will they had during these times to explore the universe?
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.
Try to read about Elcano, un 1522, 56 years later made It in One of the most Epic journey in life. He was really a pioneer
1- Vuelta al Mundo: El Cano, Magallanes 1511-1521, España.
2- Vuelta al Mundo: García Jofre de Loaisa 1525-1536, España.
3- Vuelta al Mundo: Francis Drake 1577-1580 (60 años despues de el Cano), Inglaterra.
Exacto,les flipa y publicitan esta vuelta al mundo...siendo la tercera vez que de hizo,y muy poco las españolas.
Es como hablar de la tercera vez que se llegó a la luna y obviar las dos primeras... porqué sera? Aaaaaay los malditos guiris
Portuguese explorers never existed ! interesting, they must be a pigment of spanish imagination!
It is spelled Magalhães in Portuguese, he was Portuguese not Spanish!
Serene Mountain el empezó pero el cano lo terminó vale más terminar que empezar no?
Serene Mountain wrong , Magallanes born in Portugal,yes, but he take the spanish nacionality and the spanish empire pay the cost of the travel, no portugal
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]

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.
Phillip IV thank you mate
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.
He wasn't the first... Drake had the maps from Ferdinand Magellan, first to circumnavigate the globe, a portuguese
Nice to see people sharing knowledge even in comments ^_^
Man I love this channel so much, Absolutely Amazing!
This is probably THE most entertaining history channel in RUclips. Keep up the good work
Thank you!
Great work bro keep it up this is my favourite channel on RUclips 😁
In love with every one of your videos, the best history channel in RUclips! Keep it up!
Yesss thank you I was hanging out for a new Epic History vid!
Great videos keep up the good work
Simply amazing! My favourite type of documentary
Literally pure gold
man when i saw the title i thought u were gonna do a summary of drakes world tour or smth like that, thank god i was wrong
Biting Fingers I thought that it was a video explaining the migratory routes of male ducks - thank God I was wrong.
Biting Fingers
Me too

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.
I am addicted to ur videos..history was always my favourite subject..
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”.
An excellent and well made educational inquiry as usual. At first I did not believe I would be interested in this topic but you pleasantly surprised me with your unique way of telling the story. I really enjoyed it, thanks for teaching me this! Have a great day and continue to do great things!
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.
Actually the Spanish helped the americans to independence from England
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...

These videos are so interesting and well made! I am a history teacher and use so many of these videos in class, please keep them coming! May I suggest a series on the European colonization of Africa?
Back then, so long as you had enough food and water, even on a small, wooden, rickety ship, you could go anywhere around the world, no need for fuel and electricity, just wind. Still, it took a lot of guts and tons of balls. Sir Francis Drake and crew: CERTIFIED BADASSES!
Nice, two of my favorite history channels working together
Amazing that he accomplished this at a time it was still thought there was a great southern continent and a northwest passage. Circled the world without even close to full knowledge of it. Amazing. Great video.
Crazy Steve Well technically is a Northwest passage it's you know just frozen over
There are two great southern continent, Australia, and another one, although mostly uninhabited, Antarctica.
I said it on the other vid on simple history and I'll say it again, a great collaboration by my two favorite channels
That was dank mate
Saw Simple History now going to watch yours.
ReconPro i did to.
Epic history tv and Simple history collab!! Wow I'm in heaven
i watch both of these channels. Really Awesome collaboration !
Drake is someone that is mentioned in grade school but i never really learned of his achievements. Id be very interested in learning about more explorers and lesser known figures.
I am a relative of his on my grandmas side. I can honestly say the wanderlust is still strong generations after his travels. I wish I had inherited some of that Spanish gold 🤣
8:30 I got excited for a bit, thought that the ship went down and that all of the gold ended ups somewhere in the ocean
Great video.
You should do the Magellan-El Cano Spanish first world circumnavigation next.
That's the other video in the double-bill! See the description for the link...
Nice.
Thanks for the heads up and you do great work.
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.
EXCELLENT WORK! THANK YOU!!!
Great video! It is amazing how you fitted a story that spanned the whole globe into one video and managed to keep it simple and interesting! This is the type of content I want to see!
Your channel is the best!!!!!
Love this channel. Keep it up.
Great work! Love your video, I've only heard francis drake name in my school in Indonesia. He was just mentioned as one of the English that came by to Maluku Island. Never knew he circumnavigate the world before!
oh and there's a little error around 9:00 where Maluku island is wrongly written as Malaku island.
This was very well done. Keep up the great work.
Amazing to think he'd live long enough to have another career as a rapper.
Awesome narrations man
Wait isn't Nathan Drake from uncharted related to Francis Drake
COLGATE and X Drake from one piece
XD
Draaaaaaaake
i couldn't stop thinking that through the entire video
No his mother only though that she was related to Francis Drake
Nah he just says it
7:50 Setting out to cross the Pacific and not see land for almost two months. That takes balls.
He was so close to Australia, New Zealand and Antartica.. it's amazing reading up how a Southern Land had been theorized in so many different methods from people of various faiths, including scientific. Over a 1500 yr period before even being fully announced and mapped by people of the known world at thst point. There's def explorers who if told of their discoveries when found, would be remembered in history forever but chose to keep it to themselves and/or their leaders in hope of keeping it all a secret forever from the other nations
its felt like years have passed since I saw an epic history video. worth the wait!
Congrats on 200k subs! 👏 👏
In the last 2 weeks i was checking daily in my subscription list for the new video!
This is a really cool type of video.
been waiting for your video
Does anyone know what % would drake have to give to Britain? And would Elizabeth know how much Drake had?
The admiralty rate varied but was generally around 10%. There is some debate about how much Drake made off the voyage. The official total was recorded, but he didn't just sail into London on his return. He spent several days on the Isle of Wight waiting for news as to whether he was welcome. Douty had been the one man of noble birth on the voyage and Drake had executed him. Baron Burley and others had fomenting quite the scurrilous club of hate for him over that. Anyhow, while on the Isle of Wight Drake most likely offloaded some of the treasure so as to avoid the Admiralty and investor percentages. No one knows how much that was.
Outstanding… thank u!
The amount of physical and mental strength required for such a massive undertaking is just ashtonishing. I think I would go crazy after 12 days at sea without sight of land let alone 68, not to mention their ships were more than likely incredibly low on food at that point.
I've subscribed, keep up the great work :)
Delightful..... He would be pleased what you squeezed into the time you had..👍👍👍
So, some of the treasure is still in near Maluku? Wow, interesting
HMMMMM?

So, while Spain had a big empires sending fleets full of silver every year and managed to first circumnavigate the world and send a fleet every year in the Pacific, Drake failed miserably with 20000 troops in my then 2000 inhabitants town, A Coruña
Your video are awesome! it very education, i love your channel!
Surprised to learn that Albion means Britain.
I had always taken it to mean England, and England alone, so feeling that the video had made a mistake I checked..........and I was wrong.
It can often be taken (poetically) to mean England, but just as often it can mean Britain (Great Britain).
I was so confident of that, I'd have lost money on it - turns out that I'm not as clever as I thought I was.
Every day is a school day.
Thank you so much for this video because I had a explorer report and this helped me a lot.
Drake has a drum in Westminster Cathedral. On his deathbed he told his friends to beat the drum if England ever needed him. It was said to beat by itself just before WW2
@Slim Pickens go back to your food videos.
We should beat it again
History is so fascinating, what's not to love? This was great!
This channel and drake s voyage are amazing
Fascinating story.
This is channel has the greatest history documentaries, and is definitely way better than any fantasized "American" versions.
great video thanks
It's always intrigued me to imagine what would have happened if Drake had discovered San Francisco bay. It's believed he landed just a few miles north and his search parties may well have discovered the bay if they'd simply crossed another low range of hills. The Golden Gate is easy to miss, often covered in fog and the hills of the East Bay make it look like more of the coastal range, but if he had, might New Albion have been a focus of British colonization. When the Spanish finally stumbled upon it, they realized it could become a major naval port and a huge area for agriculture in the Central Valley. How might history have changed?
When Spanish explorer Sabastion Cermeno and his ship the San Augustin were shipwrecked at Drakes Bay in 1595 only 16 years after Drake had been there he built a small boat to take his crew back to Mexico. His small boat hugged the coastline and sailed within 2 miles of the Golden Gate without seeing the entrance to San Francisco Bay.
@@kwd3109 It is very true that the Golden Gate is VERY hard to see from the ocean..The hills in the East Bay make it look like one unbroken chain of coastal hills. If the fog had been pouring into the bay they might have seen the gap, but that would have required exactly the right conditions. As we know, Europeans discovered the bay by heading overland and missing Monterey, which was their destination.
We're learning bout this in school and this is helping a lot thank you
