You can't be serious. They wiped out the Mayans, Aztecs and Inca! The 3 largest and most advanced empires in the Americas.

It was not that European kingdoms did not want to trade with the Ottomans but the Venice republic had gained monopoly on trade between Europe and Anatolia
Even the Venetians and the Genoese would like to have direct access to the spice islands. The Genoese were quite early in the exploration age, because they (re)discovered the Canary Islands in the 14th century (and colonized by Spain in 1409).
If anyone visits Madrid, they can clearly see at the front facade of the royal palace images of ancient indigenous nobility and royalty, including those who were already part of the Spanish dynasty. This is because Spain did not have colonies, but vice-royalties, granting them the same rights and obligations as any part of European Spain.

I was told that Columbus didn’t “underestimate the size of the planet” more so he dramatically overestimated the size of Indonesia and Japan. He knew how far it was to China. He just thought that there were a bunch of really big islands to the east of China.
I think you are referring to Toscanelli, whose map and calculations were used by Columbus. Toscanelli based his work in Ptolemy maps, which are not very accurate when it comes to the Earth's circumference and represented Asia way larger than it actually is. Additional calculations from Columbus himself were even more off (amazingly there are some books with annotations from Columbus that have been preserved). If Toscanelli had used Eratosthenes measures instead of Ptolemy's map, maybe nobody would have tried to cross the Atlantic for another 100 years.
So in short, Colombus was the equivalent of a Silicon Valley Tech bro startup CEO who overestimated everything to raise an extraordinary amount of money.
Eratosthenes did not prove that the Earth was a globe. It was already known by his time. What he proved was the size of the Earth and came pretty close to the actual answer.
Fun fact: Contrary to what many say, the Spanish empire ruled by the Catholic Monarchs was clearly anti-slavery. In fact, it was the first of the European empires to prohibit the slavery of Americans. Also, the majority of the initial army with which the Spanish defeated the Incas and Aztecs were not mostly Spanish, but was a coalition of Spaniards with allied warriors from other native tribes to end the slavery that the Incas and Aztecs exercised against they. And that's not to mention the schools, hospitals, universities and churches that the Spanish built in America... So, God bless Spain and the Spanish legacy!!!! ✝️🇪🇸
Also the slave trade began in a funny way Some spanish priest wanted to save the american natives from becoming slaves (back then slavery was based on conquest), so he proposed to use people from somewhere else. Now, he succeeds there, but then when he wanted to also save the africans he failed 😅 So yeah, you can't save everyone
There is some evidences that christopher worked for the portuguese crown and his goal was to dodge the spanishs from the way to india thats how they find the america but the america was found by the portuguese first many years before
Spain did not colonize; instead, it expanded itself across various parts of the world and integrated those territories as part of Spain, granting them the same rights and obligations. Additionally, Spain adopted local royalty and customs into its own, making them part of the Spanish royalty.
🇪🇦 Spain is Iberian, Celtic and Celtiberian, on the other hand one of her grandmothers was the Greek Empire, her mother was the Roman Empire 🦅and the Visigoths. Spain fought against the Muslims, defended the Iberian Peninsula, Europe and won. In Europe it was one of the largest European Empires, later it discovered and conquered a new world, a new continent, it called it "America". He granted the natives rights as Spanish citizens granted by Queen Isabella of Castile. He also discovered Oceania and gave it names. If we add up all the territory of the Spanish Empire it was: Territories in Europe (Spanish Netherlands, France, Germany, Central and Southern Italy, Portugal...etc), Territories in America (from the coast of Alaska to Patagonia), Territories in Asia and Oceania, Territories in Africa (Spanish Guinea, Ifni, Spanish Sahara, Morocco...). Not in vain one of its slogans was "The Empire where the Sun never sets". The Spanish Empire traded with the Empire of China and used "El Real Español" coins. The Spanish Empire did not have colonies, but VIRREINATIES ✊🏻. The USA owes its independence to the Kingdom of Spain from the English crown. The USA has been very unfair with its Hispanic heritage, it forgets that half of its territory belonged to the Spanish Empire.
In contrast to England, Spain did not kill or displace the natives in the territories it incorporated. Instead, Spain built hospitals, hospices, schools, universities, civil buildings, cathedrals, and more, treating these territories as part of Spain and integrating native ancestors with European Spaniards. This is why there is a mix of native and European heritage in Spain.

FYI... the first europeans to the american continent wasn't Colombus nor Leif Ericsson...it was whoever discovered Iceland, since half of Iceland is part of the American continental plate.
basque fishermen had been suposedly aware of the existence of Iceland since ancient times, althoug this rumors have not been proved. Probably the first ones were the Vikings then.......
if you tell it this way it sounds like the Muslims were also European converts, in reality though it was a negligible and very small percentage, the Muslims were occupying Arab invaders mostly originating in today's Morocco while the native Iberians were Christian Europeans who resisted and won the centuries-long war. In fact today autosomal analysis of the dna of today's moroccan people shows why there are no Muslim Europeans in Africa, in what's today Morocco

Portugal would never have the strenght to make the whole world call it Iberia. The term is used since ancient greeks, as a reference to the River Ebro (called Iberos). Here's what Wikipedia says: The modern phrase "Iberian Peninsula" was coined by the French geographer Jean-Baptiste Bory de Saint-Vincent on his 1823 work "Guide du Voyageur en Espagne". Prior to that date, geographers had used the terms 'Spanish Peninsula' or 'Pyrenaean Peninsula'.
@@pliniojr95 it wasnt, portugal strenght which got people to call it iberia. it was the fact that calling spanish peninsula implied dejure spanish right over portugal, but you got confused in the fact that i said they didnt call it iberia, you thought i said it never got refered to as iberia(which this confusion is my fault) overall the reason it gets called iberia is to stop confusion with spain. but if portugal wasnt a nation (aka if portugese nationalism didnt wasnt a thing) it would be called the spanish peninsula. and iberia would be and antiquited term like gaul, marutenia, hibernia and other roman-greek names, that refer to old groups of peoples
You are the king of Portugal. Your country has been in the forefront of discovering new lands for about 70 years. You are rich on gold, ivory and slaves traded along several already conquered Moroccan cities, the Guineas and the Congo. You have sent an expedition to round the tip of Africa, and eagerly await news to confirm the connection of the Atlantic and the Indian oceans. Then, here comes an italian guy, which studied in your country, with a ludicrous idea and his math all mixed up. He stupidly underestimated the size of the world and wants to go west to reach the east. Everyone of your experienced sailors, of scholared mathematicians, and years of top quality science say that that ideia is ludicrous, so you deny to sponsor it. Here come your neighbours, that don’t know nothing about maps and have never seen boats, and decide to sponsor the guy ‘cause “yolo Deus Vult” and they discover a huge continent, whose importance in the world would make everyone forget your 70 years headstart and blame the discoveries on the ottomans something and Spain “pioneering” whatever… At least the Guiness World Record will still recognise Portugal as the first global empire… and that’s it…
I think you are overestimating Portugal a lot and underestimating Castile a lot, it seems that you are not aware that apart from Portugal, Castile also had a coast and ships. Nobody disputes the achievements of Portugal but there were very good people with a lot of training in Castile too, I remind you that the Salamanca school was one of the most relevant institutions in the world in terms of knowledge.
The Kingdom of Castile and Leon had one of the best Navies of the Atlantic and the Crown of Aragon had one of the best Navies of the Mediterranean. Actually, Castile defeated the English Navy in the Hundred Years War and raided the English coast periodically, and Aragon had a Colonial Empire in the Mediterranean since the 1200s. The rich commercial routes from Iberia were the Mediterranean (mostly Aragonese) and the North Atlantic to England and the Low Countries (mostly Castilian). Furthermore, Castile was successfully conquering the Emirate of Granada, while Portugal was struggling in the conquest of Morocco. Another point: Castile had colonies in the Atlantic since the conquest of the Canary Islands in 1409. In short, you are wrong if you want to portray Portugal as ahead of Castile or Aragon. As a point of fact, Portugal was the third Kingdom of the Peninsula at the time.
@Tusiriakest Tú comentario es incorrecto. El vecino de Portugal dominaba ya por aquellos entonces el mediterráneo y expulsó a los musulmanes de Europa.

Ni Portugal, ni Inglaterra, ni Francia, ni Holanda, ni Bélgica podían con él.
Hernán Cortés arrived with 600 men and 16 horses, he conquered an empire of 7 million and 99% of his troops were Indians who had been oppressed by the Aztecs" He was a military genius and not only because he managed to defeat an empire that had 7 million population. Tenochtitlan, which was the capital, had 300,000 inhabitants when London had 60,000. The work of Spain, you have to go there, see the universities, see the cathedrals, see the churches... compare that with what the English did in the 13 colonies. The first great work of the British is Harvard, which dates back to 1600 or so, the first cathedral in the Dominican Republic dates back to 1502. Madrid was a town when we were an empire next to what was viceregal Mexico, the capital of New Spain. Gold that Spain brought from 1521 to 1821, which is independence, was 200 tons, between 2010 and 2020 Mexico extracted 350 tons. The gold stayed there and all you have to do is see what Mexico is. You have to walk through Puebla, through Oaxaca, through Guanajuato... It is a historic task

Also, the majority of the initial army with which the Spanish defeated the Incas and Aztecs were not mostly Spanish, but was a coalition of Spaniards with allied warriors from other native tribes to end the slavery that the Incas and Aztecs exercised against they. And that's not to mention the schools, hospitals, universities and churches that the Spanish built in America... So, God bless Spain and the Spanish legacy!!!! ✝️🇪🇸
Really?
Also the slave trade began in a funny way
Some spanish priest wanted to save the american natives from becoming slaves (back then slavery was based on conquest), so he proposed to use people from somewhere else. Now, he succeeds there, but then when he wanted to also save the africans he failed 😅
So yeah, you can't save everyone
That's complete bullshit
What a rosy picture.

It was a wonderful historical coverage episode about the starting point of Spanish empire creation
Spain did not colonize; instead, it expanded itself across various parts of the world and integrated those territories as part of Spain, granting them the same rights and obligations. Additionally, Spain adopted local royalty and customs into its own, making them part of the Spanish royalty.

VIVA LA HISPANIDAD ❤
🇪🇦 Spain is Iberian, Celtic and Celtiberian, on the other hand one of her grandmothers was the Greek Empire, her mother was the Roman Empire 🦅and the Visigoths. Spain fought against the Muslims, defended the Iberian Peninsula, Europe and won.
In Europe it was one of the largest European Empires, later it discovered and conquered a new world, a new continent, it called it "America".
He granted the natives rights as Spanish citizens granted by Queen Isabella of Castile. He also discovered Oceania and gave it names. If we add up all the territory of the Spanish Empire it was: Territories in Europe (Spanish Netherlands, France, Germany, Central and Southern Italy, Portugal...etc), Territories in America (from the coast of Alaska to Patagonia), Territories in Asia and Oceania, Territories in Africa (Spanish Guinea, Ifni, Spanish Sahara, Morocco...). Not in vain one of its slogans was "The Empire where the Sun never sets". The Spanish Empire traded with the Empire of China and used "El Real Español" coins.
The Spanish Empire did not have colonies, but VIRREINATIES ✊🏻.
The USA owes its independence to the Kingdom of Spain from the English crown. The USA has been very unfair with its Hispanic heritage, it forgets that half of its territory belonged to the Spanish Empire.
Wonderful video. 17 ships, my gosh!
Wonderful! 🎉
In contrast to England, Spain did not kill or displace the natives in the territories it incorporated. Instead, Spain built hospitals, hospices, schools, universities, civil buildings, cathedrals, and more, treating these territories as part of Spain and integrating native ancestors with European Spaniards. This is why there is a mix of native and European heritage in Spain.
Finally, I have been waiting for this video

How different would history be if the natives had just attacked Columbus and his crew that day
They attacked them shortly after and not much changed and the best thing was still that those who had interests there were the Castilians, because if it were others it would have been much worse.
They werent retard, the natives had such problems they instantly tried to ally with the 1st guy that appeared
In the caribean it was cannibalism and in the rest it was the empires who enslaved them

The amount of people in these comments making jokes or defending Colonialism is gross. The slaughter, exploitation and enslavement of indigenous people in the Americas by European colonial powers is not something to laugh about. Doesn’t matter if it’s the Spanish, English, French, Portuguese etc…
A que matanzas te refieres? Sabes como trataban los aztecas a los tlaxcaltecas, totonacas y demás vecinos? Sus dioses exigían miles de sacrificios anuales, su dieta, cortita de proteínas, se veía enriquecia con carne humana.
Los españoles les cambian esos dioses por uno que predica misericordia y perdón
Les llevan las vacas, ovejas, cerdos, caballos, mulas y gallinas, para que tengan proteínas y animales de carga
Les enseñan la rueda, los metales y el arado. De esta manera un hombre solo con una mula y un arado puede sembrar una hectárea por día, en vez de necesitar 40 días como antes
Hacen gramáticas de las lenguas indígenas de tal manera que el nauatl tiene gramática antes que el inglés, alemán o el francés.
Se construyen más de 30 universidades de manera que no sólo los misioneros van a ellas a aprender las lenguas indígenas, sino que los propios indios pueden acceder a ellas
En fin, si, un asco de historia
I never understood why the fall of Constantinople was so important for spice trade. Didn' the ottoman empire already control it? (at least concerning Europe).
It seems that they were already pretty wealthy to start off being able to send 17 large ships with men and supplies.

It was destroyed by natives.

In fact today autosomal analysis of the dna of today's moroccan people shows why there are no Muslim Europeans in Africa, in what's today Morocco

Spanish peninsula. they didnt call it Iberia till Portuegese nationalism, in post industrial Europe.
Portugal would never have the strenght to make the whole world call it Iberia. The term is used since ancient greeks, as a reference to the River Ebro (called Iberos). Here's what Wikipedia says:
The modern phrase "Iberian Peninsula" was coined by the French geographer Jean-Baptiste Bory de Saint-Vincent on his 1823 work "Guide du Voyageur en Espagne". Prior to that date, geographers had used the terms 'Spanish Peninsula' or 'Pyrenaean Peninsula'.
@@pliniojr95 it wasnt, portugal strenght which got people to call it iberia. it was the fact that calling spanish peninsula implied dejure spanish right over portugal, but you got confused in the fact that i said they didnt call it iberia, you thought i said it never got refered to as iberia(which this confusion is my fault) overall the reason it gets called iberia is to stop confusion with spain. but if portugal wasnt a nation (aka if portugese nationalism didnt wasnt a thing) it would be called the spanish peninsula. and iberia would be and antiquited term like gaul, marutenia, hibernia and other roman-greek names, that refer to old groups of peoples

You are the king of Portugal.
Your country has been in the forefront of discovering new lands for about 70 years. You are rich on gold, ivory and slaves traded along several already conquered Moroccan cities, the Guineas and the Congo. You have sent an expedition to round the tip of Africa, and eagerly await news to confirm the connection of the Atlantic and the Indian oceans.
Then, here comes an italian guy, which studied in your country, with a ludicrous idea and his math all mixed up. He stupidly underestimated the size of the world and wants to go west to reach the east. Everyone of your experienced sailors, of scholared mathematicians, and years of top quality science say that that ideia is ludicrous, so you deny to sponsor it.
Here come your neighbours, that don’t know nothing about maps and have never seen boats, and decide to sponsor the guy ‘cause “yolo Deus Vult” and they discover a huge continent, whose importance in the world would make everyone forget your 70 years headstart and blame the discoveries on the ottomans something and Spain “pioneering” whatever…
At least the Guiness World Record will still recognise Portugal as the first global empire… and that’s it…
I think you are overestimating Portugal a lot and underestimating Castile a lot, it seems that you are not aware that apart from Portugal, Castile also had a coast and ships. Nobody disputes the achievements of Portugal but there were very good people with a lot of training in Castile too, I remind you that the Salamanca school was one of the most relevant institutions in the world in terms of knowledge.
The Kingdom of Castile and Leon had one of the best Navies of the Atlantic and the Crown of Aragon had one of the best Navies of the Mediterranean. Actually, Castile defeated the English Navy in the Hundred Years War and raided the English coast periodically, and Aragon had a Colonial Empire in the Mediterranean since the 1200s. The rich commercial routes from Iberia were the Mediterranean (mostly Aragonese) and the North Atlantic to England and the Low Countries (mostly Castilian). Furthermore, Castile was successfully conquering the Emirate of Granada, while Portugal was struggling in the conquest of Morocco. Another point: Castile had colonies in the Atlantic since the conquest of the Canary Islands in 1409. In short, you are wrong if you want to portray Portugal as ahead of Castile or Aragon. As a point of fact, Portugal was the third Kingdom of the Peninsula at the time.
