why are Medieval movies so focused on England and France? The Moors and Spaniards fought each other for hundreds of years there's bond to be some good movie material right there.
Better yet they should probably make a show about "El Cid", Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar. He was a badass knight who fought on both sides and won most of his battles. I'm sure it will very successful and fit nicely with other medieval themed shows like Game of Thrones and Vikings. But seriously look up his biography and you'll know what I mean.
Lee Grant typically the Moors where not actually that brutal towards Christians, however the Spanish were towards the Moors when reclaiming Southern Spain, slaughtering many. That's why France and England are always the focus, it doesn't show "French" crusaders doing bad things, but bad people becoming Crusaders. So in comparison French and English focused movies put crusaders in a bad light, while the slaughter of many Muslims by the Spanish would cast all Spaniards of the time in a bad light.
solwen It happened on both sides, Christians were brutal to Muslims in Spain, but not vise versa. Muslims were brutal to Christians and Jews in the Balkans and Middle East after the Golden Age of Islam. Even before the Muslims were brutal in taking the Christian states in Anatolia and Palestine before the era shown in Kingdom of Heaven. Regardless of religion, every religion has blood on their hands and each is attempting to retaliate for offenses that took place hundreds of years ago.
David Bourland Perhaps my message was unclear. I just said that a modern movie about the Reconquista would be plagued by modern political correctness. Such a movie would feature myths and modern propaganda like the "Al Andalus: paradise of multiculturalism and tolerance" vs "bigoted Christians" like in Kingdom of Heaven where Christians were pictured as bloodthirsty and treacherous while the muslim are all noble and peaceful. History is history and it must not be reshaped to fit the trendy political views. And you can be sure that if a realistic movie about the Reconquista was made, an uproar of activists and professional indignants would occur as the only thing they would see are "Whites killing browns" and "racism"
binario1011100 You are partly correct in saying Islamic civilization developed from cultures they conquered but you also disregarding the thousands of years of Arab civilization which existed in Arabia prior to the rise of Islam. Also no the Dark Ages were named that because most of Western Europe slipped back into barbarism after the conquest of the western Roman Empire by the Goths and other Germanic tribes.
0:16 "Your Eminence, we've captured all of the peninsula, except this one backwater mountain range in the northern coast." "Eh, just ignore it. Can't be more than like 200 people living there. What's the worst that could happen?"
Its ALLAH well , no problem , but no boundaries stays forever , just be good to keep from being divided into smaller communities ( Barcelona and many others )
the greenman you know that refugees are going to US and Europe because their home are destroyed by US and Europe or to have a revenge because of Europeans invasion . Sorry about my English
And over 300 years, they were right haha. It's not casual, those territories are full of mountains and are easily defensible. The romans spent a great deal of effort trying to conquer it. They just thought it didn't worht it.

when you defeat your enemy you can write the history as you want . you can replace the events you can lie hide the advantages of other people and so the Spanish writers did when they wrote the history of Islamic state in Iberian peninsula. so please please please try to read the other side of this story . I am sure you will be surprised.
@@saeedsaeed7493 year i've seen what happens when muslims write history. In 1917 the turkes killed 1 million armenians just for being christian and Turkey hasn't even had the respect of acknowledge it happend.
there's essencially two reasons as to why the moorish invasion was so quick and easy: 1 - the visigoths didn't allow the roman-iberian populations they were ruling to own weapons and form militias, in hopes to stop any sort of revolt 2 - the visigothic kingdom was in a sort of civil war and a visigothic lord from gibraltar literally asked the moors for help, and they decided to help a little too much
To add to the second point. The new Visigothic king was betrayed and abandoned by his own visigothic nobles during the decisive battle, leading to a westgothic defeat. The arabs then went on to defeat the westgothic nobles one by one, aside from Asturias, which they assaulted, but coudnt defeat.
@@maxxjunior3594 You are right of course, but the Berbers fought for the Arabs and most of their leaders were arab. So I generalized a bit. The roman army was also made up of many celts, germans, greeks and all sorts of people, but we call them Romans nontheless.
@@MMadesen Romans yes because they belonged to the roman empire .. but Umayyad didnt conquer north Africa, they were only a caliphate Muslims pledged to. And Arabs are originated from the Arabian peninsula while Ummayad caliphate's capital was baghdad or Damascus Im not sure which is in persia. Islam was a really a great weapon to control over masses and lands
@@MMadesen shame umayyads didnt conquer France instead of sending 200,000 men to fight byzantium arabs should of conquered france and germany and england
DraxerMaxer 007 Just because a peace treaty wasn’t signed doesn’t mean a war never ended. Especially when the entities fighting were not centralized states but feudal kingdoms and caliphates. The reconquista was a series of wars between Christian and Muslim kingdoms over iberia. Not to mention the governments that were there at the beginning of the reconquista had long since stop existing by its end. Saying it was all a single war is definitely oversimplifying it. Just as saying the Hundred Years’ War was a single war.
DraxerMaxer 007 The attacks did end. There were realigning alliances and internal troubles with both Christian and Muslim kingdoms. Christians and Muslims would ally one another against common enemies and vice versa. Again, you do not need a peace treaty to cease hostilities. It’s like saying the Korean War is still ongoing because they never signed a peace treaty. Your second paragraph is unintelligible so I’m not going to address it. I assume you are a Spaniard? Ok so you edited it so that it’s actually readable. Your comparison for WW1 and WW2 would work if the caliphate that invaded Iberia was the same caliphate that was defeated in 1492. Your second to last sentence though is still hard to understand.
Some people can't understand that if the Reconquista wasn't sucessful Europe would have fall in hands of the Islam, the Ottomans in the East and the Arabs in the West. Respect to the Polish, Venecians and other Christians that helped for this never happen.
@@wertyuiopasd6281 Bro? The French only prevented the expansion of muslims throughout their mainland, the kingdom of Asturias already existed, and it was never conquered by Muslims.
One thing that’s really interesting about this map, is how overtime the Muslims fractured from the Umayyads into lots of taifa kingdoms. Whereas the Hispano-Visigothic Crowns of Asturias, later Leon/Castile, Aragon etc gradually became more united. It’s like they both took opposite directions.
@@HelderGriff muslims still appear to be more and more fracturing whilst the Christians are non existent and the Jews are uniting the other Jew led nations
That's the reason we lost and the lesson that all history stories tell you, united we stand, divided we lose, and the other reason they lost is their poor belief in Allah's help and that instead of focusing on religion, they focused on the love of control and the dunya stuff
The Kingdom of Granada was for 200 years a kingdom that paid tribute to the Kingdom of Castile so that they did not invade them, that is why they lasted so long.
@Toonimation Queen Isabella's will to make Spain great again 🤣.Aragon and Castile union with her marriage to Fernando and new cannon tech that was able to reliable destroy the walls of the many muslim castles and fortified towns protecting mountains passes to Granada also helped.

@Tia Pretty much, the crusades were worse than a failure. The holy land was never permanently reclaimed and the Ottomans would go on to conquer greece and all of the Balkans. The Turks still have constantinople to this day.
@@chainsawninjalcemist Such analysis doesn't do crusaders justice. The crusades were part of the meta-narrative of the Christian faith, a pattern that repeats throughout history. Christendom dies - and is resurrected - in ways similar to Christ. He was rejected and crucified in Jerusalem, and so too were the crusader states disbanded, and the crusaders martyred. However, this rejection actually created a Christendom stronger and larger than ever before. The crusader's blood has paved the way for Christendom to cover all humanity. The world is saved by identifying grace inside events that superficially seem like failures.
@Tia Genoa also answered the call. The main reason why Constantinople fell was because the Chad Genoese commander was withdrawn from the battlefield due to his wounds. Anyway, the Ottomans would've never been allowed to rise by the Byzantines if the Venetians would've not sacked Constantinople in 1204.
Although I am not a Christian, but I do admire their perseverance and determination to free themselves in the reconquista. After almost 8 hundred years, the spaniards and portuguese not only freed themselves, but they also conquered the New world. Because of what they did, today spanish and portuguese are so widely spoken in the world. I really salute them.
El portugués se habla en algunos países de África, Macao y lógicamente en Brasil, pero su importancia a nivel mundial es efímero, sin embargo el español (castellano como lo llamamos en España), es la segunda lengua más importante del mundo

This completely refutes the myth that the moors held Spain for 800 years. The push back was immediate and progressed each decade. Grenada was held for 800 years, but not Spain as a whole. Very enlightening.
800 years mate... In that time Spain became the best civilization in Europe with largest library...it was also the center of knowledge in Europe... Algebra, alchemy, algorithm
My ancestors fought on the reconquista, my second surname is Ballesteros (which means crossbowmen), im really proud of that!! Blessings from Argentina.
Argentina necesita una limpieza urgente. Mucho vago, mucho parasito y quilombero, mucho político y jueces chorros y corruptos. Mas que una Reconquista necesitamos otra Campaña al Desierto.
I love how the conflict was so long that both sides fought against themselves several times completely independent from the Reconquista, with various kingdoms appearing, falling and appearing again.
It's great to see asturias rise from a small rebel state to a state which encompassed the whole peninsular. The will and determination of the spainairds are legendary.
I just realized something: British/American education system emphasizes negative aspects of Spanish history (Spanish Inquisition, deadliness of Spanish conquests in the Americas, Spanish Armada). But never anything negative about the Moors/Emirate. Instead it’s presented as a tolerant multi-ethnic civilization that advanced scientific, medical, and architectural learning before being destroyed by the Reconquista. By the way, some people refer to the migration of millions of Hispanics into California, Texas, etc., as the modern reconqista.
Cultures and governments will come and go. I wish I could Timelapse the year 2000-3000 and see what new history is to be made in the next thousand years. Whatever happens humanity always progresses no matter which civilization comes out on top.

Cuka Bakso Spanish brought European civilization with them.

There's something incorrect. Galicia was under their control for a really short period of time and even some areas on the north were never captured. Their influence is not noticeable here
+Ollie Bye (History) it is wrong right in the beginning: The moors invaded Northern Portugal, but they didnt government it, it was not part of any government, as it had a feudal structure that was able to resist. In late 9th century, the county of Portucale was formed in 868 in the Northern banks of the Douro River, all North of that river was already Christian. And you show this region as being part of the Caliphate. The county became more powerful since the 10th century and we can speak of Portugal in this period, as powerful county in Western Iberia to such an extent that Garcia who gained Galicia in the 1065 partition and after fighting the Portuguese count in 1071, called himself King of Portugal and Galicia, not the other way, you know... Northern Portugal was always Gallaecia (Galicia), but Portugal took hold, as it was the early base of a county, small a first, but grow larger and quite fast. People give to much credit to the first king of Portugal. It may make sense for southern Portugal, it does not for Northern Portuguese.
Pedro4490 No, they governed northern Portugal. It was the lands north of it (Galicia) they didn't effectively control. And the county that was created in 868 was just a region of various Christian kingdoms, it wasn't its own state back then.

Well, that's a bold statement and quite incorrect. The fascist insurrection of the army that led to the Spanish Civil war saw two sides, one fighting for fascism and a new absolutist regime with a restoration of monarchy as well and the other fighting to keep the Spanish Republica which saw all kinds of regimes (it was a democratic Republic that had left wing and right winged governments during its existance). The Republican side had many factions too and was mainly militias with some help from some other countries such as the UK and the Soviet Union. Some were Commies, some were Anarchists and some were just fighting against fascism. Some of these factions didn't even like each other (There was not a single time in Spain's history when anarchists were communists friends). It was an uneven battle cause the military also had the assistance from the Italian Fascist army and even the Nazi Luftwaffe. Still it took them 3 years to beat the Republican side.

@Smelly Subhuman Indian Filth goat faker spotted.
there's essencially two reasons as to why the moorish invasion was so quick and easy:
1 - the visigoths didn't allow the roman-iberian populations they were ruling to own weapons and form militias, in hopes to stop any sort of revolt
2 - the visigothic kingdom was in a sort of civil war and a visigothic lord from gibraltar literally asked the moors for help, and they decided to help a little too much
To add to the second point. The new Visigothic king was betrayed and abandoned by his own visigothic nobles during the decisive battle, leading to a westgothic defeat. The arabs then went on to defeat the westgothic nobles one by one, aside from Asturias, which they assaulted, but coudnt defeat.
@@maxxjunior3594 You are right of course, but the Berbers fought for the Arabs and most of their leaders were arab. So I generalized a bit.

Panzerjäger Nashorn A series of wars does not make it one war. So no, they did not fight the longest war in history.
DraxerMaxer 007 Just because a peace treaty wasn’t signed doesn’t mean a war never ended. Especially when the entities fighting were not centralized states but feudal kingdoms and caliphates. The reconquista was a series of wars between Christian and Muslim kingdoms over iberia. Not to mention the governments that were there at the beginning of the reconquista had long since stop existing by its end.
Saying it was all a single war is definitely oversimplifying it. Just as saying the Hundred Years’ War was a single war.
DraxerMaxer 007 The attacks did end. There were realigning alliances and internal troubles with both Christian and Muslim kingdoms. Christians and Muslims would ally one another against common enemies and vice versa. Again, you do not need a peace treaty to cease hostilities. It’s like saying the Korean War is still ongoing because they never signed a peace treaty. Your second paragraph is unintelligible so I’m not going to address it. I assume you are a Spaniard?
Ok so you edited it so that it’s actually readable. Your comparison for WW1 and WW2 would work if the caliphate that invaded Iberia was the same caliphate that was defeated in 1492. Your second to last sentence though is still hard to understand.
Imagine being a Soldier in the early 8th century hoping that the war in Iberia would end soon.

The Virgin crusades vs THE CHAD RECONQUISTA
@Tia Pretty much, the crusades were worse than a failure. The holy land was never permanently reclaimed and the Ottomans would go on to conquer greece and all of the Balkans. The Turks still have constantinople to this day.
@@chainsawninjalcemist Such analysis doesn't do crusaders justice. The crusades were part of the meta-narrative of the Christian faith, a pattern that repeats throughout history. Christendom dies - and is resurrected - in ways similar to Christ. He was rejected and crucified in Jerusalem, and so too were the crusader states disbanded, and the crusaders martyred. However, this rejection actually created a Christendom stronger and larger than ever before. The crusader's blood has paved the way for Christendom to cover all humanity.
The world is saved by identifying grace inside events that superficially seem like failures.
@Gabriel Petkov and sack constantinople
@Tia Genoa also answered the call. The main reason why Constantinople fell was because the Chad Genoese commander was withdrawn from the battlefield due to his wounds.

"Stelios D for real, why you just say spain? you don't like portugal? you think we are not a country?"
Better question why do you Portuguese always get so hurt? No one can compliment Spain without that one guy from Portugal complaining what about me? Maybe because a lot of people realise that Portugal and Spain are the same shit. Portugal was founded by a Galician who broke away from the Kingdom of Galicia, claimed some land and declared him King of Portugal. It was literal sibling infighting and rivalry that founded Portugal. The only difference between Portugal and the other Kingdoms of Iberia is at the end of the Reconquista, the other kingdoms united after 700 years of fighting along side each other, generation after generation, to form the Nation of Spain, except for Portugal.
No one hates Portugal. I'm Spanish from Galicia. I love Spain and Portugal. It's you Portuguese that seem to hate Spain.

Well, that's a bold statement and quite incorrect. The fascist insurrection of the army that led to the Spanish Civil war saw two sides, one fighting for fascism and a new absolutist regime with a restoration of monarchy as well and the other fighting to keep the Spanish Republica which saw all kinds of regimes (it was a democratic Republic that had left wing and right winged governments during its existance). The Republican side had many factions too and was mainly militias with some help from some other countries such as the UK and the Soviet Union. Some were Commies, some were Anarchists and some were just fighting against fascism. Some of these factions didn't even like each other (There was not a single time in Spain's history when anarchists were communists friends). It was an uneven battle cause the military also had the assistance from the Italian Fascist army and even the Nazi Luftwaffe. Still it took them 3 years to beat the Republican side. It was not a battle against communism but against democracy.
