- After Christopher Columbus accidentally stumbled across the West Indies in 1492, Spain was among the first countries to explore and conquer this ‘New World’ that would become known as the Americas.
In this video, we explain how the Spanish Empire explored and conquered the Americas...
There are much better videos about this theme with more factual information. For example, he said the Spanish won because of its advantage in weaponry, which is probably the most widely mistaken part in the history of the Spanish conquest. Small pox was indeed a huge one, but not weaponry. Cortes only had like 100 men at first, 300 later maybe. Against aztecs in the thousands, a musket and a few cannons from your ship are nothing. They won because they allied with the Aztecs' many enemy tribes, bringing thousands of men to the fight. He basically divided and conquered. It could've easily been a disaster for the conquistadors.
It’s a shame this video essentially jumps from Cortez, to the mid 1700’s without much detail. That 200 years is pretty important.
1st and good video
There's quite a few errors in this video. Here's some that I noticed.
First, Columbus realized that he was not in Asia by his third voyage in 1498, he says so in his journal, Vespucci didn't have his first voyage until 1499. And Vespucci did not name the continent after himself, German cartographer Waldseemüller named it America.
Then there's mention of Tenochtitlán, but the nap says Teotihuacán, and the dot on the map is way off from where Tenochtitlán or Teotihuacán would be.
The population decline is mentioned well but current estimates say 90-95% of the natives died in the first century after Columbus's arrival.
Estimates in America are almost always opinions of the author without much basis to support them. Only in the population estimates of America is there a 100% error, because some sources indicate that the natives were 13 million. And another more than 100 million
Good video.
Powers in different countries change throughout course of history but the Spanish army’s were resilient throughout their time in exploration and especially without today’s technology amazing!
Viva Eapana!
it was definitely the time when the Spanish army was as its most powerful state ever, for sure, from the Reconquista and European wars.
in his revolutionary book ANANDA math Bankim Chandra Chatterjee had said Muslims and not the British were our real enimy in the 19th century . Today with a Hindu as PM of Britain I think he was right.
British civilized Bengal first , it was the British missionaries who build first schools colleges universities hospitals roads bridge writting system
British even helped bengali to get rid of Sati system , widow rem marriage acts , child marriage acts
British helped in suppressing Thugee cult who worshiped goddess of death kali and liberated indians from their clutches
Viva la Hispanidad! Abajo la Leyenda negra!
La leyenda negra es la manta que tapa los crímenes de anglosajones y protestantes.
Incorrect incorrect it's Portugal
It's great content and narration. Please upgrade your audio.
The Bermuda triangle
Actually they did that with the help of the holy spirit that is something nonbelievers will never be able to understand
Native Americans in NA didn’t learn how to ride horses from Spaniards😂 they’ve been riding on Europeans since they landed. Granted most of them didn’t survive but they rode against the french spanish british even mexicans after spains conquest
The first City/Town in mainland America is Cumaná in Venezuela, it was settled in 1515, and the first foot of Europeans in American mainlad was in Macuro in August 1498 also in Venezuela...
El primer asentamiento español en América fue el Fuerte Navidad en La Española, hecho con los restos de la Santa María.
@@jorgeo4483 La Española (RD) es una isla, no se si sabes la diferencia entre isla y tierra firme (Mainland)
@@taitos12 El primer asentamiento español fue en La Española, no sé si distingues entre asentamiento y borrachera. Cuba también es una Isla, llegamos en 1492, Australia es una isla, no sé si para ti Australia es tierra firme. Eso de Mainland, "continente" en inglés, no tierra firme, es un concepto sajón. Tierra firme en español es tierra, que yo sepa las islas no flotan, por tanto son tierra firme, especialmente si como esa, La Española, están habitadas.
@@jorgeo4483 comparando el tamaño de Australia considerada como un continente, de 7 millones de kilometros con La Española que le das la vuelta en auto en 1 dia o 2... El que tiene las distinciones un poco atrofiadas en el cerebro no soy yo...
Tit for tat, Nash equilibrium colonialism, and will never hear Spaniards with issues about what was accomplished in The Iberian Peninsula by The Roman Empire. That's because it was really not much of importance until it happened. Intelligent admission. Much higher education will think similarly about contributions from Al Andalus. Somehow that can't be understood the same way about Spaniards in The Americas, because Filipinos are definitely much better about it all. Spain may have a Globalist royal family, and that's why can seem that up to no good, but if not for that and corrupted politicians bureaucrats judicial, are certainly not trying to take over independent countries, that's the Anglo-Saxon thing, sometimes hand in hand with French, and Spain has Bourbon kings. That's how get flipped over into Communism, the illusion of democracy. Why want digital currency and the whole Communist nine yards now in western Europe.
This is genoicde on a horrific scale.
Illnesses aren' t genocide.
Do you mean the Smallpox blankets by Lord Jeffrey Amherst or the War against the Aborigines of Tasmania? The famines under British misrule in India or Ireland?
@@joselugo4536He means the genocide in Latin America

@@joselugo4536 Any evidence ? Spanibaboon
Sorry, it could be a really good vídeo, but it ISN'T. You mixed truths and lies, but I don't blame you, probably you learned or studied, the Spanish Conquista from the Anglo-Saxon wrong point of view, which is quite nasty with Spain.
All the Empires conquered its neighbours, with good and bad things, like the Holy Roman Empire and others, but ... 🤔🤔🤔 the difference between British Empire and Spanish Empire, is the first was a looter and the second was conciliatory.
Spanish America is mixed race but English America is white, with the extermination of native Americans and a strong black minority coming from the slave trade, done by British, Netherland and Portuguese Empires.
Since the early colonisation (16th, 17th centuries) ,Spain built many cathedrals, universities, hospitals, schools but not in the British colonies, until the very late years abd only in white colonies.
And so on .....
English America is quickly becoming mestizo and they have the highest fertility rate in the country.
@@user-ox1df2wp6t bruh...Native Americans in the North, they live on reservations, and those fertility rates you talk about are African Americans.
for all other, laws of burgos 1512
Heh. Another white legend enthusiast. Everything you point out doesn’t invalidate what the video points-which is the biggest fallacy that Spanish historians fall into.
True. That's why Latin America Is mixed but that's why Spain lost control of it's empire faster. The English are very much white vs black yes. But they too get mixed. And r now and always been systematically corrupted or intervened by mixed indigenous and African peoples.
@@user-ox1df2wp6t By mixed he ment, the Spanish had children with the natives, while that was vey uncommon and unlikely for British do to back then.
poor treatment ?! lol they massacred them.
Is that not poor treatment or smth, is that great treatment?
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 Ausgburg 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 .
Do you know about the Nazi expeditions, tho? They sound interesting to me.
This video contains inappropriate pictures for elementary students.
What a lie, the 95% of the american conquistadores were native americans. Did you study? Cortes with 200 men couldn't get anything from a 1M soldiers army.
Your comment misses the point. It’s not like the natives were recruited beyond simple convenience. Once the conquistadors won, the natives were homogeneized as “Indios”.
Why didn't the anti-Aztec indigenous tribes overthrow them prior to the joining up with Cortes' men? He was the catalyst, there's no doubt about it.
Stfu .....no, 95% of them took native wives!!! Dippin in the chocolate red
@@AdrianCChase
Read the 1452 New Laws of Indies.
@@fedevida1951 I’m aware of them. However, first off, the new laws are from 1542. Secondly, they were paper only laws. Most of the time they weren’t followed, and conquistadors even rebelled and fought successfully to not implement them in Peru. Difference between de de jure and de facto.

I agree we should’ve atleast not hurt each other’s tribes and instead go after the spanish
What’s with his pronunciation? Tf ?
There’s just something special about Europeans.
Yeah they are conquerors who do it for god,money and land
100% False
100% means all of them are false and NOT EVEN A SINGLE ONE ARE TRUE.. Are you really sure with your statement? Do you have any historical proof that you want to share? Or only some of the portion in this video are false, but your poor knowledge of English stated as 100% false? Or your statement was just a hyperbole to express your dissatisfaction? Please lad, explain to us.
dude, get yourself a better microphone
"The Spanish Crown was benevolent toward the Indigenous populations" WHAT
Narrated by the Spanish crown 🤣
@@dianne2446 igual de benevolente que la corona britanica y los estados unidos con los nativos americanos
You must read Bartolomé de las Casas! They were anything but benevolent. Indigenous people were cruelly slaughtered instead.
@@pietermannaerts4958Bartolomé de Las Casas was debunked long time algo. And not, never were 3 million Natives in Hispaniola at 1491.
@@pietermannaerts4958 lollll search "the black legend" and come back.
We are thankful to the British . Even today 78% of India is Hindu.
In India and in Asia there were no European settlement if there was then asians also extinct like native Americans
@@Ex-SikhArsh And now Indians should colonise the world starting with Guyana, Mauritus, Fiji and Surinam.
