Fog of war: On
Fun fact.
The city of New Amstetdam was defended by a big wall. But the British attacked from the sea. When they conquered the city and renamed it to New York, they also tore down the wall and reused the stones by building a street.
That street got the name "Wall Street".
Fun fact New York come from York and York is a city in England and the name York is from jordvik and jordvik in English is dirtbay and they got the name jordvik from Vikings

The Spanish were the first! Amazing Brave explorers!..
If I were the sailer of that boat sailing for weeks, I would be so scared I would rather die. Those are BRAVE people.
It would have been such a scary feeling for the natives too. Their near entire population being slaughtered and toyed with, having the species they most rely on for food brought to near extinction so they'd fall in line as well as having their culture, religion and languages brainwashed and literally whipped out of their children who were ripped from their parents at a young age, likely to never see them again. Such an amazing feeling...

Spain's hegemony over the Pacific Ocean was so great that it was called the Spanish Lake.
The Earth was called Britain
@@dylanmurphy9389 hahaha, NO
Yes, but that's because the Narrator 1st concentrates on South America. North America, as you can see, right from the Early 1500, it was the Brits and the French and a few decades later, Dutch. There was a lot going on in the northern continent, whilst Spanish Conquistadors, were Raping and pillaging in South America, But it was less murderous and intense.You just have to take an interest and reseearch. It - it was equally interesting, Britain and the France had colonialists, who became fur trappers, who actually lived amongst the Indian tribes, in the early years, and actually married in to those communities, which was much more cooperative and less divisive than the Spanish experience, which was far more "top-down" domination, and also part of the reason why the Spanish ended up causing so much resentment, which led to the early decline, of their empire.
I rremember that the Name of the French trappers, Living with the Indians were called "The Courious de bois". I remember reading about this and thinking this must have been the best time for everyone concerned, where life was hard, living off a hostile land, Without modern technology, right in the deep wild, but communication was relatively good and animosity limited, except between the British and French colonies, later when the symptoms of the 7 years War started simmering. Remember, the 1st settlers were pretty much left alone by the Crown and the people Were living a relatively free life, even though the risks were far higher, in an unpredictable sense
@@Rowlph8888 You should learn geography and know what North America covers. and you should ask yourself why there are so few indigenous people in Canada and the US. The English did not mix with the natives and marginalized them, while the Spanish mixed with the natives
@@DCDVassili Stop with your propaganda. You should try to learn the Difference between a "US citizen", post 1776 and a working class English settler, before the 7 years War (approx: 1575-1748). t's a matter-of-fact that the English crown, "refused" the settlers requests, who kept asking to be able to push to the west and Violate "Treaties" That had been agreed to, With the natives and were Honoured, by the British Crown. The Brits were there for 200 years, before the Americans independence, but still only maintained colonies on the eastern border. It Wasn't until after the "American Independence", That the Settlers Began (Under the Bullshit manifest destiny lie) began to Push into the West and Started Causing More Atrocities. So it's the opposite of what you are saying.
The original "working class", fur trapping colonialists, from Britain and france, wanted to escape the hegemony, of the crowns of theiir respective kingdoms and many did live, marry and trade, amongst the natives. With Regards to those Spanish exploiting and violating, I wasnt talking about the Spanish "working class", or settlers, I was talking about the Imperial "upper classes(Conquistadsors) that were sent there, who were causing the exploitation.The difference was that In the case of the original settlers forming from Britain and France, the Crowns, in those countries, were not so bothered about the new world, at that stage, as they had domestic issues.A bit later is when the Crown got involved and conflict Between Britain and France, started to be more severe, as a Kind of proxy war.
Also, there were far more losses amongst the indigenous in South than in North America.Even though the Spanish crown and many religious figures, wanted more peaceful indigenous contact, the Conquistadors, ddidn't honour those wishes and destroyed communities,, wherever they went, Stealing gold and taking it to Spain and reacting aggressively when the indigenous misunderstood and reacted ambiguously to attempted religious indoctrination.
I just cannot fathom docking on a place like Florida without any prior knowledge of the land. That had to be such a unique human experience that may never be replicated. Like imagine living in 1500 Spain and seeing all of the trees and crocodiles and shit. That’s just so insane to me
@@HM-eg9hv my bad I guess. Regardless I would assume they hadn’t seen a crocodile/alligator in person before that
@@HM-eg9hv they have both
Actually the term Alligator comes from the Spanish explorers in Florida. Too lazy to look up the details but it’s pretty cool the theorize theses first contacts with other civilized societies.

Great summary! Precision : European fishermen (Basques, Bretons, Normans, etc.) visited the Saint-Lawrence River through the 16th century, even before Jacques Cartier's claim for New France in 1534 ; this is one century before what is shown in this video. Also, important settlements in the New France area are omitted : Montréal (Ville-Marie, 1642), Détroit (1701), La Nouvelle-Orléans (1718), whereas a lot of settlements are shown in the 13 colonies.
IT'S NOT DISEASE OR VIRUS KILLED INDIAN, EUROPEAN GENOSIDE THE INDIAN !
I like how Columbus’s voyage only occurred because he was wrong about the circumference of the earth. The other monarchs had rejected funding his expedition precisely because their scholars knew perfectly well that the earth was round and roughly how large it was, and knew (correctly) that there was no way that the Indies could be within sailing distance going west.
Everyone at war over gold and land
The Portuguese: damn, sugar cane tastes good
Sugar was actually very rare and thus extremely expensive and although the video focuses more on how the European exploration influenced North America, with the discovery of the maritime route to India, Lisbon became one of the biggest cities in the world and Portugal became the richest country in the world because she dethroned the previous spice route.
Portugal continued to explore and to expand Brazil, but wood and sugar, despite lucrative, weren't gold, as you said. However gold was found in Brazil, eventually, which triggered a lot more interest in this colony.
Dutch: this nutmeg is good
The natives: 🗿🗿🗿
@@luisalmeida1391 Verdade.
@@luisalmeida1391 Portugal fell really behind because of the succession crisis that made it lose independence to Spain. 60 years was a lot of time during the peak of the age of exploration.
After it regained independence, recovered some territories and was still ver powerful but couldnt compete with the other powers anymore, so it just developed the existing colonies.
This shit goes so hard. I’d like to think I would’ve actually enjoyed history and geography if it were formatted like this when I was in school

I always loved history and geography in school but I'm old so Maybe in my day it was more interesting. Although it's not fun knowing history in this day and age. It just leads to fights with anyone under 40 because they tend to not know anything.
It's not too late to enjoy history
@Storm Zaibot so you're saying that after tens of thousands of years of inter tribe war didn't end their civilization but then Europeans landed to " civilized " them and introduce diseases that literally killed hundreds of millions alone , not including the wars fought over someone else's land by European powers wasn't the reason suddenly they all went extinct or became tiny pockets of people still alive? Just a giant coincidence that it never happened before in all of existence for them till European people got involved. Hmmmm ok.
@Storm Zaibot well RUclips decided to delete my response. Some of what younsay is true but much of what you say is wrong. Unfortunately RUclips won't let me converse with you
What a brilliant video! Suddenly it's all clear as day. Great job. Thank you so much.
Nice animation, I wish you had drawn more of the precolonial territories (other than aztecs and Incas). Would give a better idea of the complexity of the geography that was disturbed by the colonisation
Spain really took a gamble with that meridian treaty when you think about it , they didnt knew how the continent shape was yet they decided the divide , they really could have ended up having the short stick
and they did. Gold was in brasil and north america, not so much in west south america, and + africa and unclamed asia....ya, Portugal won 100%
They actually lost a lot with that treaty, but there are motivations that come from the wars in north africa
@@ruicorreia6373 ?? El oro estaba en los territorios españoles, principalmente en el virreinato del Perú, no inventes cr7
@@ruicorreia6373 the gold was mostly in the Mayan, Inca empires and the continental land around the West Indies what today is modern day Colombia /Venezuela
They had an unbelievable luck because the Portuguese already knew that there was land over there as the Tordesillas treaty prove it. The Portuguese main focus was to keep the spice trade...

You have designed this very beautifully and exceptionally. 👌
You know a channel is good when this guy voices it.
This completely ignores the northward Spanish expansion along the west coast of North America beginning in 1542 with Cabrillo's expedition. That is a HUGE hole in the story. Vizcaino came along 70 years later. Most of the place-names in coastal California are from that second expedition.
There was a lot missing but I think they wanted to do the highlights. A lot about the 13 colonies, France expansion, and early Spanish expeditions were missing.
Yet the video mentions irrelevant Drake expedition. Big Anglosaxon bias.
The U.S. always tries to sweep under the rug anything that can take away the legitimacy of their imperial expansion, conquest and thus ownership of the lands to the west of their 13 colonies.

I appreciate how you uncover new territory
Spain reached Alaska in 1791, at that moment Spain ruled the whole Pacific coast of America, from cape of Horn in south Chile to Alaska cities like Valdez or Cordova
a few settlements and ports north of mexico means control over the entire pacific coast?
@@KentoKei the same for the british. Did the british directly controlled Canada, Australia and India? Of course not.
The important thing in America is that there are spanish names from the artic circle to the antartic circle, that's why spanish is the most spoken language in America.
The claim couldn't be enforced because you know, icy lands, as you said Spain built stetlements in the area, some explorers were sent to the area by the King Charles III of Spain just to explore the territory.
The thing is that Spain had a way more richer territories than British in Canada or Australia, most people don't know but Australia was discovered by spaniards as well as Canada and most people don't know why Canada is called Canada, spaniards named canada "Acá nada" that means "here nothing"
Why to claim an icy land where a penguin Will fell cold when you have the "Virreinato de Nueva España" which is the actual Mexico, Mexico is nowadays the country that produce the most silver and Peru is the second, How much petrol Venezuela has? How much iron latin america has? How much zinc latin america has?
Copper is used everywhere for electricity and Peru is the second country that produce more copper only behind China.

They never control cap Horn, he even tell it in the video.
@Weasel I’m pretty sure he said America, not just North America. North America has roughly 317 million English speakers and 121 million Spanish speakers, so yes. English is more in North America. But in South America, because he clearly said Arctic to Antarctic, there is 5.4 million English speakers and about 210 million Spanish speakers. The Caribbean, also apart of the Americas, is 64% Spanish, though i cant find a Spanish speaking population number that excludes islands already counted in north and South America. In Central America, there is an additional 32 million Spanish speakers. So that’s looking to be 360 million Spanish speakers to 322 million English speakers (I didn’t count the 400k English creoles speakers in Central America as I was avoiding too many decimals)
Portugal financed an expedition in the Amazon River in 1563 that finished in Quito, in the 1800s a new expetion was done using the diaries information, and they were able to reach Quito again.

Superbly presented - bravo! Greetings from Greece.
6:21 it was not just impresion by firearms and horses. These peoples were actually enemies of the Aztecs and saw their chance to win a war against them in an Alliance with the Spaniards.
correct
Good amplification, but in order to see a chance to win for such a small group of people you must first get really impressed by the things they bring with them, which was the point.
@ from what I know the number of natives fighting against the Aztec was roughly the same as the number of Aztec warriors. The few Spaniards with limited ammo were just a small factor in the conflict, though they might have tipped the scale. The Spaniards had about 1% of the men that their allies had and most of th didn't have firearms, from what I know only a few dozen had them and firearms of the early 16th century weren't that much better than arrows.
Yes civilizations conquered by the aztecs like the toltekas that were usually enslaved and sacrified to keep in order.
@@rfvtgbzhnThe Spanish defeated the natives in the first place.
I love the use of the black, unexplored areas of the map, kinda like it's in strategy games with the fog of War! It's interesting that the fog of war like its known in games is actually a real military theory (Clausewitz, 19th century), yet so many people connect it with games (which got the idea of it from the military theory as well).

Also, when Columbus brought some natives back, the Catholic Queen Isabel ordered him to release them
The Catholics, the Queen and the priests were super worried about the wellbeing of the natives. They held conferences and agreed they were not barbarians but humans with soul and dignity. The conquistadors on the other hand were businessmen of war and they often clashed with the church due to the mistreatment of natives, and generally ignored the laws that protected natives.
In any case, by far the worse enemy of the natives were the viruses they had no defenses against.
This seems like a big bunch if BS to me, especialy taught bythe Spanish educational system. Learn anything about the actual story of my people in south america. Their concept of "evangelization" required the suppresion of people's humanity, slavery, genocide, and rape.
Just read about El Requerimiento of 1513 in which it was declared that Spain had the right to do whatever they wanted with the natives. Not only could they do it legally, but morally as well, being endorsed by the catholic church
@@s.w.stryker6491 as long as they were converted to Christianity. Furthermore, the University of Salamanca had a quarrel arguing if they were capable of knowing the concept of Property, for if they did, their lands couldn't be taken. That meant some native tribes converted to Christianity and kept their lands and form of government, giving in return a part of their harvest. Furthermore, mixing was encouraged. It's a way of conquest similar to what the Roman empire did.
Compare it to Locke's idea of property for the conquest, where he said that only those who worked the fields could be considered owners (a theory made ad hoc for the British conquest of north America, for there was a majority of nomad tribes). That meant when the British started expanding and working the fields, they were legally abide to kill and exterminate every native tribe that entered their lands, as they weren't considered owners, but invaders.
As a result you have a few natives alive in the US and Canada and a majority of the population mixed from Mexico to the southernmost part of the Spanish Empire
@Angel_Gomez Any historical record that proves this? Because everywhere I've looked disproves any sort of reasoning like that. Also, even if it's true that some of their rights are protected if they are converted to Christianity, how do you think the locals were compelled to be converted? How were they compelled to be mixed if not forced into "grape"? Read about the story of any of the countries of my people and see how many chose it was so very nice of the spanish to come sack them, so much so that they willingly change their religion to theirs, and ho much they let them keep their lands for it. Look at any distribution of the population even today in any of those countries and you'll see that the great majority of wealth stayed through the centuries in the household of Spanish Last Names, and caucasian looking people. I wonder why, if the natives had so many rights

This was very educational to see how it unfolded.
Man I feel like I spent my whole life learning all the little pieces of that and you just put them all together
1:10 The Portuguese rejects the project because they recognized the Columbus calculations are probably incorrect. Which actually were, Columbus calculated with wrong length of the ancient length unit "stadium" and he suppose Asia is half distance than it actually was.
Plus they were focused on reaching India and well on their way, ahead of everyone else. They actually did it, contrary to many others, and for a few years ruled the Indian Ocean and controlled the Spice Trade becoming the World's Richest Nation for a small period of time (about 60 years). The Iberian Union, though, brought that edge down...
The Portuguese didn't reject Columbus because his calculations were incorrect. They rejected him because he wanted to explore and tell the world what he would find during his voyages, but Portugal already knew that there was a large land (America) between Europe and Asia and they didn't want other countries to know of it. Obviously they didn't know the size of it, but they did know that Columbus would find it and quickly spread word of it to all europe. The fact that Brazil was "officially" discovered by Portugal in the year 1500, means that the portuguese already knew of it's existence way before Columbus found America, and decided to make their claim to Brazil official.
Go back to your bacalhao
Portugal já conhecia as Américas antes de Colombo.
A esposa de Colombo era portuguesa Felipa Moniz Perestrelo, filha de Bartolomeu Perestrelo.
Bartolomeu aprendeu a navegar com o Infante D. Henrique de Portugal que foi o precursor da navegação portuguesa.
O Pai e os Irmãos de Felipa já sabiam da existência de terras além do Atlântico, mas uma segunda rota não seria bom para os portugueses.
Detalhe: Fernão de Magalhães, capitão que descobriu a segunda rota das índias e batizou o oceano pacífico também era português.
@@falmin2512 This is a very extraordinary claim and every extraordinary claim requires extraordinary evidence. Do you have some?
Excellent. Really lays things out plainly.
A simplification, but well presented. One part of the simplification that I can see is that it draws maps based on claims more than settlements. The French claims Western Newfoundland, yes, but they never had more than a few hundred in all of Newfoundland, and even those were in the North and South. Calling this a permanent settlement of the West is thus a stretch.
I really appreciate the role of the Catholic Church mentioned, though. There was a great internal fight in Spain over slavery
Fun fact, we still have a majority of French speakers in Québec, but we also have French minorities in Acadia and the rest of New France’s territory!
This was so amazing. I learned about all of these expeditions in Latin American Studies courses, but to see the real-time progress map was really interesting.

Cortez didn’t even leave Cuba with permission, his trip’s funding was cut, so he hurried to the harbor and just left before anyone knew what was going on. They couldn’t load food on board so they had to stop frequently, hence how they met La Malinche and Aguilar on the way
And without both of them they would never be able to gain allies and defeat the Aztecs.
@@Edexote yeah, its one of those butterfly effects, human history is just amazing xD
Oh the Spanish... 5:32 Vasco Núñez de Balboa discovers the Pacific Ocean... calling it "Mar Del Sur" all happened here in my country Panamá. The Spanish settlers that took the part of the Pacific Ocean are my ancestors... we even got a Family Tree detailed.
Esto es lo que estaba buscando,buenazo el vídeo y saludos desde Uruguay.
The use of 'fog of war' on the map was perfect. Thanks
This new voice just makes it seem like a really cheesy American documentary. Please bring back the old voice if you can, it gave a much more informative and honest vibe!
I don't want to offend the person but, I do think the same. It is more articulate in the language pronunciation but yeah I'd choose the og one.
@@fathfez7991 Oh yeah, no i totally agree with you. I should have been more kind in my original comment but this kind of narration is just synonymous with these mega corportation owned channels that clickbait and overexaggerate everything. The old voice was more down to earth and definitely made me feel like I was watching something informative, entertaining, and honest. Not just commercialised rubbish like TheRichest for example.
@@pdalmao Yeah, no it's okay. I thought the same. It sounds weird and my brain immediately associates the guy's voice as 'entertainment only, no knowledge to learn here' and very similar those cheesy tips and facts channels indeed.
I can tell this crowd is chock full of intellectual powerhouses who make judgments based on how somebody's voice sounds or imply that Americans are shallow, somehow.
Should I just draw the conclusion some folks here are pretentious, condescending jerks?
yeap i agree with ya
At 7:06 there's a mistake. Cortes allied with the adversaries of the Aztecs long before the siege of Tenochtitlan.
true
There a lot of mistakes in the video, Portugal had colonies in Labrador and Newfoundland long before the British or Columbus.
We also had found Brasil before Columbus ever had any thought to sail west
Also America as a name was not an agreed term, not even remotely it, it was disputed for over 200 years
@@alexmag342 Lo que me gusta de estos videos es que siempre aparece una nacionalidad nueva que descubrió América antes que Castilla
Its fricked up that after they razed tenochtitlan, a truky beautiful city worth preservation, they turned on the natives that were a part of the attack. Disgusting.
"Does your god requires human sacrifices?"
Cortes: no
Native: Jesus here we go.
😂😂😂😂
Live how this video’s ending of like a cliffhanger for the next one about the American Revolution.
Must have been an exciting time to be alive as a explorer, finding all this new untouched land
As an adult, many years out of school, these quick refreshers are invaluable!
What do you mean, they're great
@@ZeroEagle667 not unvaluable, invaluable! 😉
The old voice over guy was what made these videos so unique and watchable. That flair is lost now with this new bloke. Please bring the old guy back?
The old guy left by his own wish so can't come back.
@@Nexandr :(
You completely missed the mission of Don Tristan DeLuna which was sent by the then Governor. from Mexico in 1559 to establish a new colony in Ochuse, which is now Pensacola Florida. This was the first settlement in the land to become the USA. Had it not been for a hurricane Pensacola would have been the first city in the United States, 4 years before St Augustine
Nice video, it looks like it took a lot of effort. One quick thing though - the governor of Cuba, Velázquez, ordered Cortés not to attack the Aztecs, but Cortés ignored this and attacked in an act of mutiny against Velázquez.
I kinda like matt's voice too ...can both Rahul and matt do voiceovers in a single video...
Yes, I also want old one.. Love from Pakistan!
There was a portuguese colony in Canada called Terra do Lavrador, latter Labrador. Unfortunately it was not mentioned =\
It was terrenova that means new land in portuguese
Yes, and the expansion of Brazil resulting from the gold and silver rush in the late 17th century is not mentioned here.
The Portuguese found more gold in Brazil in 30 years (1690 - 1720) than the Spanish found in the previous 200 years in America, and it allowed Brazil to become the most profitable colony in the Americas by 1720, and King John V to become the King with more gold in the world. It really should have been mentioned. It gave Portugal a considerable amount of power in South America.
E tambem a terra Nova dos bacalhaus
Probably its forgotten in some countrys
This video is made by an englishman, the bias its obvious. You can see him struggling to bend facts at some points.
Great video and well researched, sub!
The first germans, polish, czechs, flemish (belgians), swiss and maybe from other central european countries to set foot on continental mainland of New World was in 1529, so as to work as miners to search El Dorado in actual Venezuela . The leased colony by Emperor Charles V to the Augsburg banker family of Welser was called "Klein Venedig" and its capital Coro was named "Neu Augsburg", Maracaibo "Neu Nüremberg" and Cabimas o "Neu Ulm". Some expeditions inland departed from Coro and El Tocuyo (also given a german name as Tocuyothal) searching for El Dorado. "Klein Venedig" didn't last long though, this was due to both poor results and complaints from miners and locals, thus Emperor Charles V didn't renew the contract to the Welsers (bankers from Augsburg). Some very old and forgotten cemeteries in NW Venezuela may have some surnames still, no idea. This was at a time when the portuguese were still exploring lands which soon later became Brazil and the spanish just arriving to Cuzco and the River Plate. 🇩🇪🇻🇪 🤠👍
That's right the reasons of the Welser expeditions was to find Eldorado for that, they didn't make a culture legacy and now Maracaibo (The principal city than they created ) doesn't have nothing of germ an culture appart of the Tovar colony established in 1842. But in the Second World War with the germans emigration they build and reapairs so much of his old colonies these new villages start to buiding to equaty than in otrers countries like Peru, Brasil, Chile, Uruguay and Argentina that's when they finally make a legacy in that's countries (Culture legacy). sorry for the fails in the coment, my english is not very nice .
Wow I didn’t know that part of little Venice and Venezuela, that part is amazing!
the most iconic and visited place left from that time is called colonia tovar, i used to visit it when i was a kid living in venezuela. it is like a small little german mountain town, ripe with strawberries and such.
Leave Matt alone, he’s doing his best. Sure, the other voice is what we all got to know, but why not give Matt a chance
But its not fun with the new voice
@Tom Hughes
Has nothing to do with liking or not liking Matt....it's like going back to an old haunt and the friend you came to see is no longer around.
@@user-wn1un7ih6b
LOL....Nice! 😉
@SebiscuitTheGreat OOOF Yes but the reason people watch it and don’t read it in a book is that that is more fun
@SebiscuitTheGreat OOOF
Wow, this is the second comment I've had to ask the question...did you actually read my post. Here it is in case you need a better look:
'Has nothing to do with liking or not liking Matt....it's like going back to an old haunt and the friend you came to see is no longer around.'
So tell me.....how is that selfish....or did the definition of selfish get completely watered down like the terms, racist, sexist, harassments, Nazi, and oppressive. ¬_¬
This was excellent. Thank you!
Muito bom vídeo. Quando era novo mas aulas de história sempre imaginava o que mais estaria acontecendo no mundo ao mesmo tempo.
20 anos depois esse vídeo me respondeu.
Obrigado RUclips.
Just a reminder that the British didn't exist before 1707, so when you are talking about the British before then, you really mean the English. - A Scot
He said English I thought
England and Scotland had been under a personal union since 1603. Act of union was just a formality
@@sdsd2e2321 They were still separate countries, like Canada and Australia. Same Monarch but different countries.
This is a verry good remark
and remember the Louisiana territory was owned by spain.............. (it wasnt but oh well)
I LOVE that the unknown world is shaded black. It helps give us their perspective. Excellent video! 👌🏽
Also very instructive and very clear thank you very much !
LoL dude Columbus didn't die in America like you said, he was jailed by the Spanish kings for making slaves from the indigenous people and for brutality towards them (which was forbidden by law in the kingdom), and years later he retired and died in Spain.
I just got to know this channel and it's already one of my favorites ... I love maps and learning about history and other subjects in the way that this channel teaches is spectacular ... Too bad I'm not fluent in English, because I'm sure that my experience would be much better (have advanced english, but in general I understand everything because of the context)
Please continue with the videos 😁👍
I too
This is a really great visualization gives a lot of context into what must have been going through the minds of the people back then what they must have thought without knowing about what was actually out there
Imagine that you're a native American in 1500 and one day some weird people who look like no person you've ever seen before come to your front door and ask where the gold is.
It happened to my ancestors, the Taino. They proceeded to rape the women and kill most of the men. Eventually creating the Mestizo populations of the Caribbean.
Imagine living in 2022 and thinking that civilizations were in peace before the arrival of Europeans in the 1500's. The only thing different was that this people came from another continent by sea and were more developed. You realize tribes were killing each other and looting their wealth and lands? How do you think those kingdoms exist? Singing kumbaya and asking people to join?
@@nunopereira526 Not all tribes were warlike and not all of them sought to conquer the others. For example my ancestors the Tainos were a peaceful tribe and the Caribs were the ones who were more violent in the lesser Antilles always raiding the coasts pre-Columbian times. My ancestors would simply flee into the mountains wait till the Caribs stole what they wanted and then came back down. Occasionally we would have skirmishes, but the Taino never were a fighting people. We had no reason to be bloodthirsty. Caribs however lived on the smallest islands in the Antilles. So, they often ran low on resources and were jealous of the Tainos. Back and forth until Columbus showed up....
The biggest myth that was ever told is this - All tribes were peaceful/All tribes were violent. No, neither is true. Some tribes were mostly nonviolent and preferred peaceful methods of negotiation and others were warlike. Like humans on every continent, we are found. Some are more violent than others. That doesn't mean that all the nations of the Americas deserved genocide or to be painted into racist stereotype of the noble savage/the vile Indian.
@@jalicea1650 you need to work on your insecurities. It's not a matter of deserving or not to be conquered or be peaceful, in the ancient times there was no communication or information like you are offered today. It was simply kill, get killed or matching forces that would have peace untill having the upper hand. As long as you want to romance your loving ancestors, human kind was vicious, just like monkeys or lions. In the 1500's the only peace was among the ones that feared eachother and were affraid of suffer too much loses that they would expose to other kingdoms, tribes or whatever.
The biggest myth is people in the 21th century judging the life of the past with the eyes of the present, having no sense of how it was to find different people with different language who looked different and so on.
I'll give you an example, in old Ceylon or today's Sri Lanka there were 7 different kingdoms fighting eachother when the Portuguese arrived there...talk about peace and singing kumbaya buddy.
@@nunopereira526 way to show your nihilistic racism to justify your worldviews. My ancestors are well documented in our universities in PR. We have never been warlike people and we have proof going back thousands of years since the archeological records validate the oral history of my people. No proof of warlike society developing in the way we see in the Caribs or mainland Indians like the Aztec or the Comanche. You may ask for proof. We don't have many weapons of war and arrows/clubs/shields designed for extensive conflict with the Caribs. The pottery, the village designs and the defenses all point to a peaceful people who only hunted inland and fish by the sea. There were no major sites where battles took place and extensive violence until after Columbus. History is built on archaeological records and physical records, spiritual decorations and the oral traditions of our ancestors.
You have a very bigoted view on Native Americans and worse you assume all humanity was as violent and as cruel as your ancestors. Sure, some were, not all. Not every human nation was as violent or as cruel as you imagine. It was about degrees of violence to nonviolent societies depending on the place and the era discussed. For the most part humans are generally peaceful if they don't need resources, have nice warm environments and not a lot of internal/external pressures to drive the need for violence.

Dude this is so great. I’ve always loved history but seeing it in this format just makes everything so much better. Keep up the good work dude, this is really awesome stuff.
IT'S NOT DISEASE OR VIRUS KILLED INDIAN, EUROPEAN GENOSIDE THE INDIAN !
These names that he provides is a great way for viewers to make connections with the continent countries
EXCELLENT SUMMARY. Well done!
Thank you. Very good explained😊
This visualization is great and logically contextualizes the changing world in such a different but likely correct way!! Awesome!!
The man who bought Manhattan was Pierre Minuit (Pieter Minnewit), he was a calvinist of walloon origins, a lot of the first settlers in Manhattan were walloons. (The colony itself was of course Dutch.)
Again the American nonsense about the purchase of Manhatten. It was bought for 60 guilders in goods, not specified but things like axes and copper kettles were in demand by the natives. It's probably almost like a half year's wages for a skilled craftsman, which were very well paid in the Dutch Republic and shipping it over an ocean wasn't free either, so not such a bad deal for the natives.
There's more BS in the video. Of course the Dutch protestants didn't flee Europe in fear of catholicism. The Dutch Republic of the Seven United Provinces had religous tolerance, and was led by protestants. It was at war with Spain because it had declared independence from Spain in 1581 because they wanted religious tolerance.
So the Dutch Republic didn't take advantage of the Iberian Union, they got a bigger enemy to fight. They took to war to the oceans because Spain was using it's colonial profits and the Portugese to finance the 80-years war against the Dutch Republic.
Poorly researched video
@@DenUitvreter The supposed religious tolerance was but a poor excuse and the main argument of the Flemish rebels for independence from the Habsburg empire. In fact, the Protestant Reformation was never born as a demonstration against the abuses of the Catholic Church for its illicit enrichment, but was born as a political argument to break with Rome, which was the one who gave divine legitimacy to the emperors and kings. That was the foundation of the Protestant break and the commission that Luther received to initiate that break by Flemish nobles and some German princes. Denying the legitimacy of the emperor, breaking with the Habsburg house, becoming independent from the empire and incidentally ... appropriating all the assets of the Church (the other main argument).
The religious question? Of course, against everything the Dutch and British have said for centuries, Philip II was a religious guy, but he didn't give a shit about Dutch or English Protestantism. He had in fact proposed to the very Protestant Elizabeth I of England without seeming to care too much that the rite was also performed by a Protestant bishop. What did bother him was the Flemish rebellion that he considered a true betrayal against the legitimate monarch, and also the help that this one obtained from the English.
The religious changes were due exclusively to a mixture of political and economic interests. Exactly the same as in England. The religious question as a theological fact, perhaps the illiterate citizen cared about something (I don't think so), but the political leader did not. That's for sure. Everything was political intricacies to get more shares of power, more property and more money.
Centuries of propaganda have tarnished a good part of what many people today still consider to be history. Little by little we will clean it.
I think its pretty cool that they set the map to unexplored instead of all visible. The game is much more interesting this way and it really set the tone for everything since.
IT'S NOT DISEASE OR VIRUS KILLED INDIAN, EUROPEAN GENOSIDE THE INDIAN !
I liked the content but some of these facts are backwards, two are below:
1. Vasco de gama went to India around Africa before Columbus set sail
2. The treaty of tordesailles aka the line of demarcation was made after Portugal and Spain started claiming land in S. America
12:50 you can see the current french flag in Newfoundland
I enjoyed this and its really well done. I already knew a large amount of this history but when it's put all together like this it's so much easier to understand how/when it was all going on around the same time.
IT'S NOT DISEASE OR VIRUS KILLED INDIAN, EUROPEAN GENOSIDE THE INDIAN !
new subscriber here... Awesome content, thank you!
This is so friggin good.
Awesome video! Love the use of blacked-out areas to show what was known to Europeans at the time.
amazing how a country as small as Portugal managed to be one of the pioneers in the discovery of new lands beyond europe, proud to have the sanhue of this brave people of the Atlantic.
No, not amazing. The Russians when they began they were also very small. The same goes for all empires. Given that Portugal was the most western European point, it made sense to search west or round Africa to get to China and overcome the terrestrial blockade of the Ottomans.
ENGLAND runs, mate 🇬🇧
The vikings discovered it first
@@ottovestergaardjack362 Yes there is evidence the Vikings got to North America. However, for some reason or other such journeys led nowhere. Why?
@@jesusbermudez6775 Yes, amazing, because Portugal had a population of 1 million people, whilst Spain had 7 million, England had 10 million, France 14 million and the Dutch 2 million, and still, Portugal managed to finance most of the maritime expeditions done at the time;
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_maritime_explorers
Portugal financed around 50, whilst Spain for instance, only 10.
Damn I never realised how much better Sir Francis Drake was than all those other explorers
Very good video my man ❤
Masterpiece of information that clarifies not only the context in time and area of the known world, but also the context to understand the way of thinking of the actual powers of the World and their explanations.
What a great summary. It really helped me connect dots. Loved it
Amazingly explained history.
