I disagree, the Spanish are colonizers who only cared about the profit from their colonies, the areas conquered by Rome, the caliphates, and Persia, benefited from being conquered in terms of protection, investment, roads, and infrastructure.
@@orangejuice4734 same for spain to an extent, they brought the spanish civilization (religion, language, customs), mixed with the natives and the native aristocracy, built cities, roads, and the people were considered subjects of the spanish crown.
Even the Chinese used the Spanish currency (pieces of eight) by the time the English founded Harvard, Spain had already founded 10 universities in America and while the English settlers were dying of cold and hunger, Spain had total control of vast Territories to the south and countless cities. Spain went around the world more than 100 years before the English set foot in America. England is the only nation that spent centuries sustaining itself on piracy and pillaging the trade routes of true overseas empires. If in the former Portuguese and Spanish colonies there are so many natives and mestizos, it is not because these empires could not supplant the natives, it is because they integrated them and did not exterminate them like animals.
Actually the British Empire was predatory by nature and a better term to refer to it is British Imperialism. I personally admire your optimism by saying that the British unified the world, in reality what they created was a world wide system of commerce whose objective was not unify their culture with others around the world, nor look for the prosperity of those territories under their control like the Spanish Empire did, despite your purposely distorted British version of Spanish History, why the British would tell the truth about their number one enemy of the time after all. British globalism was an imposed system of unequal trade that only benefited the British while plundering and destroying the colonized nations. The British were racist, they believe they were superior to other cultures because they were clear skin Anglo-Saxon Protestants, it was a British government policy and it cannot be refuted, it’s been their policy for centuries and was imbedded in their people’s behavior because they were educated to think that way during that period. During the rule of the British Imperialism, Hispanic America, India and China went from being prosperous sovereign Empires through fair commerce and trade and protection of their national industry, to become mere de-industrialized British colonies without real representation and sovereignty, and quickly impoverished by the Austerity measures imposed over them through debt and war, does that sound familiar today? Who is ruling today? The British and their Heirs, the United States, never really unified the world, because they were not interested in expand their religion and culture and help other nations to build a global civilization, it was just their globalism in which only them could be prosperous while the rest of the world was cast aside.
The amount of gold and silver that was extracted from the remnants of the Inca and Aztec empire was staggering. But it flowed quickly into the hands of European bankers leaving Spain broke and weak. Kind of reminiscent of the squandering of " black gold" in the last century by many states.

I don't really care why I think the king of cambodia call the england men for protection , they even said that king throw him off to western power ! Unify I don't think so colony is just for money
Difficult take to assess. “One world system” is itself a very loaded concept apart from the eurocentrism. I’m sure specifics like Greenwich mean time or standards of international law are what u mean but I still doubt that in practice the various social and economic relationships prior to British and french ascendency didn’t form a cohesive (arguably even more cohesive considering less overall plunder and loss of history) “world system” .
The spanish empire was a land empire (like the ones that came before: Rome, caliphates, persians) just separated by a big ocean.

Meh. The Spanish barely had centralized control of Spain in the 1500s and 1600s, and with a few exceptions their American Empire was mostly coastal.
@@carmofantasmapiu5575 thank you, all these guys fall into the 'black legend'
@@MoFreedomFoundation I see, british black legend going again, spain at least treated the natives as people, not just outright genoc*de.
A Dutch World System does sound like a lot of fun with their coffee shops and other hedonistic activities
The Indonesians would probably tell you it was a lot less fun than that...
@@MoFreedomFoundation oof yeah definitely

This right in parts and hilariously wrong in others.
Oh, like what Marx said? This is basically it.
Marx got a lot right! It was just the weird religion and teleology he grafted on to his sound observations that were the problem.
Does the falling of British empire make other European colonial powers ending around the world ?
Good point. Yes, that's certainly what happened.

We brought the church and school's. You brought the auction house. Chill amigo
Before the auction house there was a school and church every 1000 miles.
think the idea of a world system goes back to zeno of citium.. maybe even before his time.. he definitely influenced alexander the great
The idea sure, but they didn't even know how much land there was in the world back then.

Yep. Definitions are hard. That's why I wrote a book around this argument. "Avoiding the British Empire"
