It love how the unknown parts of the world were blacked out at the beginning, illustrating how people of that time knew so little about the world around them. Great job!
The thing is that while the blacked out areas were unknown to Europe there was more circumstancial information around. For example it was known that Africa can be circumnavigated (Egyptian and Roman sources made references to it) as the Egyptians have circumnavigated Africa millenia earlier. Furthermore there has been speculation about the existence of major land masses to the south (further south than Africa) and to the west. Arabic sources also had further information about inland Africa and he African west coast. There were Jewish and Christian settlements by in Ethiopia by the 3rd A.D century and Ethiopian kingdoms were speaking Greek and minting coins with Greek script by the 3rd century B.C.
It's the medieval "European" point of view... (at the beginning of the video, the geographic knowledge that Euroasian cultures had) 😅 the rest of humankind (I guess) "knew" their own territories where they lived... I want to mean that the itself concept of "discovering new lands" shows how it's only for the foreign visitors (mainly europeans), not for the peoples who live there... NO OFFENSE OR CRITIC INTENTIONS on me, please 😅👍
Iberia didn't simply look for another way to india for nothing. They did it because the Ottoman Empire banned them from the spice trade. They were cut off from the Silk Road they used for centuries.

Great work except... Columbus indeed figured it out. On his third voyage, he discovered the mouth of the Orinoco River. This river system is the world's third largest by volume, far exceeding anything in Europe. This much fresh water could ONLY be coming from a continent. No mere island could produce it.
@@walugra847 No worries about late replies, quality over timeliness! And yeah, to my very limited knowledge of his writings, he never stated that it was a whole new area of the world... but... he did realize that it was a massive continent ("a mighty continent which was hitherto unknown"). I think he probably thought that there was some completely unknown continent south of China or India the same way that Africa was south of Europe, making the Red Sea a connecting Sea between possibly two large Mediterranean type seas. When he was at Hispaniola and the other islands, he very well may have thought he was in the Spice Islands (vaguely Indonesia/Philippines) but when he was exploring the coast of South America, my GUESS is that he thought it was a completely unheard-of land south of Asia (since maps had LONG since included lands like China, India, and Southeast Asia... at least in terms of concepts. Going all the way back to the Ancient Greeks, there was contact between Europe and India. But no one had ever heard of a massive new continent SOUTH of Asia (because there wasn't one there). So... again, to my limited understanding, that's what Columbus likely died believing he had discovered.
😂😂😂 Brasilians never fought for independence they only became larger Portugal in America While the rest of the continent was involved in bloody battles against the Spanish and gray Britton oh and those gay Canadians too
@@19ars92 Actually...we became independent trough -a small loan of a million dolars- 2mi sterling pounds paid by our emperor Dom Pedro II. Edit: you guys are right LoL I swapped Pedro I with Pedro II, Pedro II was born in Brasil...after his death his body was transported to Portugal with a jar of Brazilian earth together with him, later his body was returned to Brasil. Pardon my ignorance -_-
The Portuguese Crown was scared of Napoleon Bonaparte and fled for their lives with the whole court to Brazil, the whole deal of joining the kingdom with their lands in America was most a coverup
Awesome video. I love your decision to hide the "unknown" world, letting the viewer discover each new piece together with the European explorers/conquerors.
The Americas (just called America) is a landmass between Europe and Asia and it separates the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. We arent talking about the United States, were talking about the continents of North and South America.

What happened to the anatolian cultures, the mesopotamians, the egyptians and even the persian cultures once Islam arrived? You think people just willingly abandoned all of their rich ancient history in favor of some harem-builder's culture? It was genocide, the same type of genocide that was being done since Homo Sapiens are Homo Sapiens, no people are blameless when it comes to that. Don't try to make your group look good at the expense of mine, I will call you out on your bullshit as will many others.
@@Mohamed-fs1kc lol, if you think like that, then Portugal was the one that discovered Australia, killing was something that in all human history had, how did islam went from the middle East to the Iberian Peninsula? Killing people that's how, how did we bring christianity back to the peninsula? Killing people, that's history, no one enters a place with peace, unless if it is abandonated, and you can't seriously speak abou killing millions of people when Islam killed like 3 or 4 times more in North Africa, once again, history, people back then did it for they're country, like nowadays we would also go for a War for our countries
@@slalteredmusic8506 No he wasn't, that whole theory was based on one line of text from Columbuses memoir, a line mind you that was almost certainly metaphorical.
The Queen of Castilia (Spain), Isabel la Catolica, declared the new lands and their populations inhabitants of the kingdom. You couldn't take them like slaves. It is writte in her testament for example. Carlos I, other king from Spain write a lot of laws in favor of the new people.
True, however a cast system was formed in the colonies which didn't allow natives or people of mixed race (or even full blooded spanish born in America) to hold positions of power or to have the same rights as other Spaniards. That didn't happened in the Roman empire, as we know of powerful greeks, Punics, assyrians and others in Rome holding position of power (even some emperors) and having full rights of roman citizenship. Moreover, the romans were very tolerant of other's religions, while the Spanish were not since the inquisition found its way to the new world, leading to many religiosly motivated deaths. In this sense, comparing the two empires that way is a bit misleading and outright false.
@@jonayz8655 bro It's even an event in Mexico called "castas war" c'mon racism was in maximum expansion in that time, don't try to cover up, you literally needed to present a "pure blood letter" to have access to education
Back then: Some random guy: Hey that empire has a lot of gold. Spanish: *(invades)* Today: Some random guy: Hey that country has a lot of oil. USA: *(invades)*
I feel like colonization was one of the more chaotic parts of history, and I think it was because a lot was happening in a short period of time. Like, if you imagine letting events play out repeatedly in different timelines, you would see huge differences on results. What if Columbus landed in Brazil or North America? What if Europeans didn't even learn about the Americas for a much longer time? I think the craziest thing is the naming. It's so arbitrary yet names feel so important because how connected they are to identity.
Zekholgai It would also be interesting to see any patterns in all those other timelines, if it was purely a coincidence that it was discovered at that moment and it could just as well have been discovered by Romans or Phoenicians millennia earlier.
It was a terrible time and the only reason the Europeans succeeded in stealing everything is due to the sickness they brought, becuase they are nasty people
Austin Gragg No, they had technology on their side and many of the natives hated each other so much more that they joined the europeans. You shouldn't have written "the ONLY reason".
Austin Gragg What do you object to? Do you seriously think that a few hundred conquistadors could conquer the entirety of the Aztec Empire? That's an insult to natives. One could win battles with a few armored knights, but not control and occupy territory.
Don't blame Europeans, same thing happened to natives there. Blame the Germans. Or really, blame a few of the Germanic tribes. But they defeated the Romans before that who were expanding like mad, so, blame the Caesars. No... blame the Etruscans.
Kye Actually they’re from Asia. There’s no such thing as native Americans. Everyone is from the old world. Also they were cannibals and human sacrificers. Everything turned out well.
Soon I plan to upload my gameplay of the original Age of Empires with Assyria VS Babylon VS ROMA VS Hellás VS Egypt VS Phoenicia VS The Hittite Empire. I recreated the ancient world for my map.
Fun fact, it is said that the meridian was set that far away precisely to include part of Brazil, as the land had been supposedly already discovered but kept in secret. Vasco da Gama made the initial voyage in 1498 to India, but on its way diverted very close to the coast of Brazil. That year the treaty of Tordesillas is signed. Pedro Álvares Cabral was the captain who officially discovered Brazil in 1500, while going to India. Unlike Gama, Cabral was not as recognized and rewarded by the king. This makes historians believe that: - Gama had already discovered Brazil, but the discovery was kept secret; - the treaty was signed after this, to ensure it would include some land east of the meridian; I guess we will never know for sure, but I like to believe there was something with those decisions;)
The fact that Brazil speaks Portuguese is not just because of the tordesilias treaty. The portuguese territories that currenctly is Brazil is much bigger than the territories that was supposed to belong to Portugal based on the tordesilias treaty. Portugal expanded their dominion due the exploration of the Bandeirantes, which were a groups of portugueses explorers that was looking for gold, silver and diamonds. Most of the bandeirantes were Jewish escaping from inquisition.
@@PVLameira The bandeirantes weren't portuguese, their major composition were portuguese descendents a.k.a race-mixed, which means that they're Brazilians.

Mohamed 111 Sorry to say but Muslims did not discover the new world before the Spanish did and anyways if they did the natives would’ve died from the diseases they brought
Wrong, it's very inaccurate, actually full of prejudies and fake ennunciations. Pizarro "heard" of the incas, that sounds like a fairy tale to me, not actual history.
@@whitelightning2100 Actually, some say the Portuguese secretly discovered Brazil earlier than the accepted year, but kept it from their competitors in Europe. The dividing line from the Treaty of Tordesillas was moved further west twice on the insistence of the Portuguese before they would agree to it. So they may have actually been the scammers.
Until the Portuguese were scammed by the best con artists ever known in history, their ally, the British, that even obtained for them the exclusive rights to the perpetual monopoly on the slave trade granted by a Papal bull from Pope Nicholas V in 1454 to Portugal.
@@anmoses21 no, the moving of the line was to compensate the spanish claim on ceuta and melilla, the portuguese discovered brasil later but they were aware of people living at the other side of the ocean because the ocean sometimes would drag bodies to their coast in the azores
You literally summarized like 400 years of history that made me saying "that's basically it" to my self of what a school couldn't do in many months. Just wow
You should mention that one of the main driving forces for the western expansion is the fact that the Ottoman Empire was in near-complete control of Eastern Med, Middle-East and the trade routes (land and sea) in collaboration with its allies like Egypt. It is an important parameter not to be left out. That was also the reason for the south-of-Africa route to India.
I love how the author felt the need to express how cruel the Spanish were at subjugating, converting, allying and intermixing with the natives, but not a word was spared about the GENOCIDE of every single indian by the righteous British.
Zahin Shahazad Laws of Burgos, 1512. The scope of implementation of the Laws of Burgos began with the island of Hispaniola, to later extend to the islands of Puerto Rico and Jamaica. Later they would be applied on the mainland (current Venezuela) at the initiative of Fray Pedro de Córdoba. Although the ordinances authorized and legalized the practice of the distribution of Indians entrusted to the Spanish colonizers at the rate of a minimum of 40 and a maximum of 150 individuals, they strove to establish a thorough regulation of the regime of work, wages, food, housing, hygiene and care of the Indians with a protective, highly protective and humanitarian sense. The laws strictly prohibited encomenderos from applying any punishment to the Indians, which was reserved for the visitors established in each town and in charge of the meticulous compliance with the laws. Pregnant women over four months old were exempt from work. This set of protective laws that the crown of Spain dictated towards the natives was an important advance and also a precedent for labor law that was consolidated only globally in the 20th century.
@Jack well, there was ferocious warriors in South America too. Just learn about the Mapuches in Chile, who led a war against Spain that lasted about 300 years. And still are a big group fighting the Chilean government.
This video looks like a video game, where unknown territories are blacked out and can only be accessed if someone goes there. Thus it not only states that no one knew about the Americas, but the vast majority of Africa was also unknown to the world. Truly a great work with the animation in the video
"vast majority of Africa was also unknown to the world" don't agree with that. They were unknown for Europeans(also to far east asia), but not to whole world.
Really great map! However, you forgot to include California into the highlighted area for New Spain, the Spaniards officially settled "Alta California" in 1776, with the installment of the the Mission of San Diego de Alcala, with the colony extending all the way up to the San Francisco Bay area. Also, the Arizona region laid claim to Spain around the 1770s as well, with Juan Bautista De Anza officially laying claim Arizona to the Viceroy of New Spain.
@@ИванПетров-с5ю4к That's completely irrelevant, Europeans raped, killed and stole from each other as well, regardless of whether they where "God's children" or not. Same thing with any ethnic or religious groups. The difference that Barbatus is pointing out is that Spaniards had little to no issue in interbreeding with Native Americans while U.S. Americans, British and French settlers frowned upon such action. This is reflected in the demographics of each nation. Latin America being mostly made up of Mestizos and Castizos while Canada and the U.S.A. are mostly made up of Whites. You seem to know little of the topic so I wouldn't go around asking other people how dumb they are if you are completely ignorant of it.
Because it’s not very accurate at all. Conquistadors have incorrect conquest lines, the Louisiana purchase was not spanish- the US bought it from Napoleon- the Brazilian interior isn’t shown at the right time, he goes into specific detail on some things (like colombus’s route) while completely refusing to mention things which were just as important. This would not be suitable for presentation in anything above a fourth grade classroom, It’s poor quality information on a high quality background.
I feel so bad for you guys that are native. All your land and beautiful culture/history was just ripped apart. The thing that makes me the most angry is that not many people know the history.
Land of freedom, that is talking about if orange, centro América to south America all tribes as Europeans did wars. There were such perfect land where people live in peace. That only exist in fantasy. Thank you Spain for conquering these lands. We have a same languages, cities roads bridges, hospitals, universities, factories, churches, dictionaries about quechua and nahuatl before french and English did the ones about their own languages, taught natives in their own languages considered natives the same as Spanish because they were part of the empire. Spain was the biggest empire non colonial. That because we.donr compared it to the British. Viva la hispanidad. Thank you Cristóbal Colón
A widespread knowledge is that Columbus died without knowing he reached a new continent. But: In Columbus Journal of the Third Voyage (1498) it is written: "I have come to believe that this is a mighty continent which was hitherto unknown. I am greatly supported in this view by reason of this great river, and by this sea which is fresh."
Shhhhh we're supposed to villify COlumbus and shun his day and forget that his crew left behind was murdered kind of like the Lost Colony of Roanoke. And please please please don't bring up the bog bodies in Florida: peopleofonefire.com/the-mysterious-dna-of-the-windover-pond-bodies.html
Your use of black is brilliant . i am sending this link to all my students in Japan . BUT 2 minor technicalities 4:36 you say Magellan was seeking a rout around the world. In fact he only wanted to find a western rout to Asia -- fulfilling Columbus's objective. He intended to reverse trace his voyage back to spain. it was only after they discovered the futility of their dangerous way though the straits and the expanse of the pacific that his crew decided ( after the filipinos killed him) on the safer easier way of continuing westward to get home 8:25 i would put western TX border at independence-time at the Nueces River. and wait til the Mex.Am. war treaty ot 1848 to use the Rio Seco -- i mean Rio Grande -- 8:32 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_annexation THANKYOU .
The information density is in my opinion perfectly distributed over your videos so that they aren't loosing the good pacing, but also aren't missing out on too important informations. In addition to that you are able to not just convey informations, but also convey enough context so that the viewer really gains some knowledge, which then is a good foundation for the viewer to do his own further research.
Good video. Cristobal Colón died in 1506, when they only had a basic settlement in La Española, however people complain about him as a mass genocide even before Spanish conquistadores have contact with Aztec Empire. It was regardless of what people say, one of the most important dates in history. All changed after that. And by the way, if there are people imagining that those Empires and tribes in America were living peacefully just wake up and think about how the spanish conquistadores could get over empires of thousands with just some hundreds. If I should think like these stupid politically correct people I should start complaining about phoenicians, greeks, romans, visigoths, muslims....
@@Tacuara7 There was *never* a genocide. Many tribes despised the Mexicas and joined forces with the Spaniards. In exchange, they became citizens of the Spanish Crown, with full civilian rights. The Brits, on the other hand...
Hey, that's not fair! The colonization WAS terrible and the european powers SHOULD be ashamed... ... I mean, if they had followed the roman example they would have never been seen as the bad guys... you know... as there would not be any indians left in the continent anymore :^] I'm not really sure if that would be the case, but it made up for a good reply... please don't stab me...
Portugal and Spain "Literally" decided anything... It was the pope. Who passed months inside caravels to discover the places, and died trying? Who paid for the travels? the others just took advantage of portuguese and spanish efforts. But nice try!
At the Berlin conference 400 years later Portugal tried to mention this agreement to Britain Germany and France when they were deciding how to split up africa and they basically got laughed at for saying the whole continent belongs to them
Diseases wiped out more of the native population than warfare. Iberians were merely opportunistic mercenaries who attacked populations dying and suffering from pandemics that were not in a physical condition to engage in war.
@@manuelcalderon2748 that is right ,I mean it was a different time and we weren’t saints but no one was!Countries didn’t look at half’s to reach ends and it was a very different time but every colonizar wasn’t nice we killed Indians but you tortured and killed them by the million in North America and took their land we didn’t dizimate them

@@abigailisaacoff5951Those territories were Spanish until the War of Cuba in 1898 which Spain lost and it's seen as the last nail in coffin of the Spanish Empire
That was amazing, I love your channel, I'm actually from Mexico, and sometimes, I wish we hadn't gotten independence from Spain, just like, forced them to give us equal rights, like, there's always been a TON of violence in Mexico, even before the Spanish arrived, we would kill each other all the time, after they left, we're still killing each other daily plus we have one of the most corrupted government in the world, and also the biggest drug and crime lords, all Mexican, can't really blame anyone else.
Makoto, what you say just shows how little about history and economics you know. Had New Spain never fought for independence, everyone here would still be 'slaves' of the Spanish Empire, their corruption and greed was boundless, more so than the current Mexican government.
So if Mexico haven't gotten independence they've been in the EU. Cause they are part of the European country. Like these Britain and French islands across the world. So US have border with EU in this scenario.

I believe originally Chile intended to claim the rest of the Patagonia, but it was at war with Peru and Bolivia in what is known as the War of the Pacific, which Chile ended up winning land from Bolivia's coast (Antofagasta) and Peru (Arica y Parinacota and Tarapaca), and thus why most of the Atacama Desert is in Chile today, and why a lot of Peruvians and Bolivians hold resentment for Chile (Bolivians cry for their sea, since they are now a landlocked country, which originally Paraguay was the only landlocked country in South America. Aside from the land loss, Peruvians hate it when Chileans claim the pisco and the ceviche are from Chile). In the meantime, Argentina seized the opportunity to take the unclaimed territories in the Patagonia, as Chile was occupied with a war in the north. The race of conquest for the Patagonia was thus in Argentina's upper hand, which is why it was able to take the majority of the Patagonia (which is east of the Andes), while Chile only claimed the Pacific side (west of the Andes), which is at least luscious and green as the east side of the Patagonia experiences a rain shadow effect becoming a cold desert. Argentina was also at a geographical advantage, as Chileans would have to cross the Andes in order to claim the greater east side of the Patagonia, while Argentina would only have to cross the flat grasslands of the Pampas to encounter Patagonian landscape.
@@lissandrafreljord7913 as a Chilean, I have been taught that the Patagonia was passed down to rgentina during the Pacific War. Basically, Argentina threatened Chile into opening a new front if they don't give the Patagonia, to which Chile had to say yes. Truth is I'm not sure about this because although every map and source tells this, it may be the narrative of the state towards the conflict.

Ha faltado un detalle... Y es que aunque los españoles impusieron su dominio a la fuerza (como hacían todos los pueblos hace 500 años, incluidos los propios nativos americanos) a los nativos se les concedieron algunos derechos (no los que debieron ser, pero algunos), se produjo un alto mestizaje entre españoles y nativos, mezclándose culrura, gastronomía, costumbres y un largo etcétera...

You forget the reason why European nations had to find new trade routes at that time: The capture of Constantinople by the Ottoman Empire in 1453. That city was an important crossroads between Europe and Asia,it's capture effectively cut off the eastern land route for trade to Asia,so European powers needed to find another way to get to Asia.
I don't know how to thank you man, I have a presentation in class and all I could find is a summary of atleast 20 minutes, u just gave me the best details in less than 10 minutes
The darkness of unknown places, the enlightenment of explored territories, wow. This video strongly reminds me of Age of Empires, AoE 2 to be specific.
Why didn't you mention that the Dutch switched of colonies. The Dutch received Suriname and England New Amsterdam, but gave the name New York to the new city.
Fun Fact: Archimedes gave an upper bound for the circumference of the Earth of 3,000,000 stadia (483,000 km or 300,000 mi) using the Hellenic stadion which scholars generally take to be 185 meters or 1⁄9 of a geographical mile.
Eratosthenes (276-194 BC), a Hellenistic astronomer from what is now Cyrene, Libya working in Alexandria, Egypt, estimated Earth's circumference around 240 BC, computing a value of 252,000 stades.
Plato (427-347 BC) travelled to southern Italy to study Pythagorean mathematics. When he returned to Athens and established his school, Plato also taught his students that Earth was a sphere, though he offered no justifications.
Aristotle (384-322 BC) was Plato's prize student and "the mind of the school". Aristotle observed "There are stars seen in Egypt and Cyprus which are not seen in the northerly regions." Since this could only happen on a curved surface, he too believed Earth was a sphere "Of no great size, for otherwise the effect of so slight a change of place would not be quickly apparent."
Basically, you're wrong. There were many British already living in present-day Canada, who were later joined there by 'loyalists' from the 13 colonies. To suggest that Canada is populated mainly with descendants from people who left what is now America is simply inaccurate and misleading.
@@95bochamp You're saying exactly what i am saying, only in a more precise way. (Except maybe you mean "US", America is the name of the continent, there's no country called America)
No, I'm not saying what your first post said, which is that Canada was originally populated by some French along with British loyalists who only arrived in the wake of the American Revolution. That assertion, however general, is simply not true. Present-day Canada was actually inhabited by many British soldiers and settlers prior to the American Revolution, along with many French.There is no continent named 'America'. This term has been adopted by some misguided Euros as a means to describe two continents which comprise an entire hemisphere. And, while there is no country formally named 'America', use that term to (almost) anyone anywhere in the world and that person will assume you're referring to the USA. Further, no one, and I mean absolutely no one, who is not a U.S. citizen ever refers to themselves as 'American'. Ever. It's equivalent to referring to someone from New Zealand as an "Aussie" or referring to someone from Ireland as "British". Doing so is a good way to start a fight because referring to a non-American as American is not seen as flattering.
My country was the first one to ever be discovered on the new world.😀 Edit:The first to be colonized by the Europeans. Aka Hispaniola or Dominican Republic
I really liked that the unknown territories were in black, it gives a better context.

Yeah
Allthough they were incorrect
A very good idea.

Represents the people living there.
The thing is that while the blacked out areas were unknown to Europe there was more circumstancial information around. For example it was known that Africa can be circumnavigated (Egyptian and Roman sources made references to it) as the Egyptians have circumnavigated Africa millenia earlier.
Furthermore there has been speculation about the existence of major land masses to the south (further south than Africa) and to the west.
Arabic sources also had further information about inland Africa and he African west coast.
There were Jewish and Christian settlements by in Ethiopia by the 3rd A.D century and Ethiopian kingdoms were speaking Greek and minting coins with Greek script by the 3rd century B.C.

Columbus indeed figured it out. On his third voyage, he discovered the mouth of the Orinoco River. This river system is the world's third largest by volume, far exceeding anything in Europe.
This much fresh water could ONLY be coming from a continent. No mere island could produce it.
Didn't he just assume it was Asia though?
He thought he was in India....
@@walugra847 No worries about late replies, quality over timeliness!
And yeah, to my very limited knowledge of his writings, he never stated that it was a whole new area of the world... but... he did realize that it was a massive continent ("a mighty continent which was hitherto unknown"). I think he probably thought that there was some completely unknown continent south of China or India the same way that Africa was south of Europe, making the Red Sea a connecting Sea between possibly two large Mediterranean type seas.
When he was at Hispaniola and the other islands, he very well may have thought he was in the Spice Islands (vaguely Indonesia/Philippines) but when he was exploring the coast of South America, my GUESS is that he thought it was a completely unheard-of land south of Asia (since maps had LONG since included lands like China, India, and Southeast Asia... at least in terms of concepts. Going all the way back to the Ancient Greeks, there was contact between Europe and India. But no one had ever heard of a massive new continent SOUTH of Asia (because there wasn't one there).

@@slalteredmusic8506 No he wasn't, that whole theory was based on one line of text from Columbuses memoir, a line mind you that was almost certainly metaphorical.
The Queen of Castilia (Spain), Isabel la Catolica, declared the new lands and their populations inhabitants of the kingdom. You couldn't take them like slaves. It is writte in her testament for example. Carlos I, other king from Spain write a lot of laws in favor of the new people.
True, however a cast system was formed in the colonies which didn't allow natives or people of mixed race (or even full blooded spanish born in America) to hold positions of power or to have the same rights as other Spaniards. That didn't happened in the Roman empire, as we know of powerful greeks, Punics, assyrians and others in Rome holding position of power (even some emperors) and having full rights of roman citizenship. Moreover, the romans were very tolerant of other's religions, while the Spanish were not since the inquisition found its way to the new world, leading to many religiosly motivated deaths. In this sense, comparing the two empires that way is a bit misleading and outright false.

I feel like colonization was one of the more chaotic parts of history, and I think it was because a lot was happening in a short period of time. Like, if you imagine letting events play out repeatedly in different timelines, you would see huge differences on results. What if Columbus landed in Brazil or North America? What if Europeans didn't even learn about the Americas for a much longer time?
I think the craziest thing is the naming. It's so arbitrary yet names feel so important because how connected they are to identity.
Zekholgai It would also be interesting to see any patterns in all those other timelines, if it was purely a coincidence that it was discovered at that moment and it could just as well have been discovered by Romans or Phoenicians millennia earlier.
It was a terrible time and the only reason the Europeans succeeded in stealing everything is due to the sickness they brought, becuase they are nasty people

Wow so that's why Brazil speaks Portuguese, never knew that it was because of the meridian line.
Fun fact, it is said that the meridian was set that far away precisely to include part of Brazil, as the land had been supposedly already discovered but kept in secret. Vasco da Gama made the initial voyage in 1498 to India, but on its way diverted very close to the coast of Brazil. That year the treaty of Tordesillas is signed. Pedro Álvares Cabral was the captain who officially discovered Brazil in 1500, while going to India. Unlike Gama, Cabral was not as recognized and rewarded by the king. This makes historians believe that:
- Gama had already discovered Brazil, but the discovery was kept secret;
- the treaty was signed after this, to ensure it would include some land east of the meridian;
I guess we will never know for sure, but I like to believe there was something with those decisions;)
@@SusaVile bartolomeu problably had discovered brasil while find a route trough africa
The fact that Brazil speaks Portuguese is not just because of the tordesilias treaty. The portuguese territories that currenctly is Brazil is much bigger than the territories that was supposed to belong to Portugal based on the tordesilias treaty.
Portugal expanded their dominion due the exploration of the Bandeirantes, which were a groups of portugueses explorers that was looking for gold, silver and diamonds. Most of the bandeirantes were Jewish escaping from inquisition.
@@PVLameira The bandeirantes weren't portuguese, their major composition were portuguese descendents a.k.a race-mixed, which means that they're Brazilians.

It is an important parameter not to be left out. That was also the reason for the south-of-Africa route to India.

Laws of Burgos, 1512.
The scope of implementation of the Laws of Burgos began with the island of Hispaniola, to later extend to the islands of Puerto Rico and Jamaica. Later they would be applied on the mainland (current Venezuela) at the initiative of Fray Pedro de Córdoba.
Although the ordinances authorized and legalized the practice of the distribution of Indians entrusted to the Spanish colonizers at the rate of a minimum of 40 and a maximum of 150 individuals, they strove to establish a thorough regulation of the regime of work, wages, food, housing, hygiene and care of the Indians with a protective, highly protective and humanitarian sense.
The laws strictly prohibited encomenderos from applying any punishment to the Indians, which was reserved for the visitors established in each town and in charge of the meticulous compliance with the laws. Pregnant women over four months old were exempt from work.
This set of protective laws that the crown of Spain dictated towards the natives was an important advance and also a precedent for labor law that was consolidated only globally in the 20th century.

They didn’t kill all the navtives like the British people, that’s the reason of why Latin people is mixed with European, native and black ancestry.
@@manuelcalderon2748 that is right ,I mean it was a different time and we weren’t saints but no one was!Countries didn’t look at half’s to reach ends and it was a very different time but every colonizar wasn’t nice we killed Indians but you tortured and killed them by the million in North America and took their land we didn’t dizimate them
@loltism Well at least there's no systematic genocide conducted by the spaniards unlike what the US did in the 19th century. If you consider diseases as murder, then china should have so many sanctions right now.
Everything west of the Tordesillas line was Spanish territory including present day United States
What tortilla line
Not accurate. Cuba was parte of Spain until 1898
So was Puerto Rico
So was the Filipinas
then they were both usa
and then phil. was not
@@abigailisaacoff5951Those territories were Spanish until the War of Cuba in 1898 which Spain lost and it's seen as the last nail in coffin of the Spanish Empire
This was the most perfect explanation in a few minutes of the New World exploration I have ever seen in my life. BRAVO!!!
That was amazing, I love your channel, I'm actually from Mexico, and sometimes, I wish we hadn't gotten independence from Spain, just like, forced them to give us equal rights, like, there's always been a TON of violence in Mexico, even before the Spanish arrived, we would kill each other all the time, after they left, we're still killing each other daily plus we have one of the most corrupted government in the world, and also the biggest drug and crime lords, all Mexican, can't really blame anyone else.
But Freedom is Freedom Right? You can Undo this Problem on your own will without outside opinion since you have an Identity and a Culture of your own.
Makoto, what you say just shows how little about history and economics you know. Had New Spain never fought for independence, everyone here would still be 'slaves' of the Spanish Empire, their corruption and greed was boundless, more so than the current Mexican government.
So if Mexico haven't gotten independence they've been in the EU. Cause they are part of the European country. Like these Britain and French islands across the world.
So US have border with EU in this scenario.
@日本人 Is Canada poor right now?
@@makotomikami Canada is not an European territory, it's an independent country.
Like I said before, all your responses reveal your ignorance about history of both Mexico and Spain.

Chile:Argentina back down I get all of it
Argentina : No lol
I believe originally Chile intended to claim the rest of the Patagonia, but it was at war with Peru and Bolivia in what is known as the War of the Pacific, which Chile ended up winning land from Bolivia's coast (Antofagasta) and Peru (Arica y Parinacota and Tarapaca), and thus why most of the Atacama Desert is in Chile today, and why a lot of Peruvians and Bolivians hold resentment for Chile (Bolivians cry for their sea, since they are now a landlocked country, which originally Paraguay was the only landlocked country in South America. Aside from the land loss, Peruvians hate it when Chileans claim the pisco and the ceviche are from Chile). In the meantime, Argentina seized the opportunity to take the unclaimed territories in the Patagonia, as Chile was occupied with a war in the north. The race of conquest for the Patagonia was thus in Argentina's upper hand, which is why it was able to take the majority of the Patagonia (which is east of the Andes), while Chile only claimed the Pacific side (west of the Andes), which is at least luscious and green as the east side of the Patagonia experiences a rain shadow effect becoming a cold desert. Argentina was also at a geographical advantage, as Chileans would have to cross the Andes in order to claim the greater east side of the Patagonia, while Argentina would only have to cross the flat grasslands of the Pampas to encounter Patagonian landscape.
Well thank to the north of chile we have atacama desert a place we can develop renewable enery from the sun and also the cober and other mineral mines
@@lissandrafreljord7913 as a Chilean, I have been taught that the Patagonia was passed down to rgentina during the Pacific War. Basically, Argentina threatened Chile into opening a new front if they don't give the Patagonia, to which Chile had to say yes.
Truth is I'm not sure about this because although every map and source tells this, it may be the narrative of the state towards the conflict.
@@benjaminpinto3027 como argentino, esos territorios eran inexplorados por ambos países por lo cual ninguno de los dos podía ejercer ningún tipo de reclamo bien estructurado, argentina vio la oportunidad y la tomó, punto final.

Ha faltado un detalle... Y es que aunque los españoles impusieron su dominio a la fuerza (como hacían todos los pueblos hace 500 años, incluidos los propios nativos americanos) a los nativos se les concedieron algunos derechos (no los que debieron ser, pero algunos), se produjo un alto mestizaje entre españoles y nativos, mezclándose culrura, gastronomía, costumbres y un largo etcétera... En cambio los ingleses simplemente llegaron y arrasaron: "esto es mío y punto"... Sólo hay que saber la verdadera historia del "día de acción de gracias" para saber lo buenos que fueron los ingleses XD
No se les concedieron algunos derechos, eran ciudadanos españoles como cualquier ante la ley, otra cosa es que los españoles de europa poderosos abusaran de ellos, pero los derechos los tenian concedidos, pero no se podian hacer respetar a 2000km de distancia
@Hello World! Segun tu los españoles deberian haber exterminado a todo el mundo y enviar españoles y europeos en masa a las americas esa es la clave para el exito, el genocidio y el racismo extremo

creo que te equivocas amigo, España esta en 13 puesto en pib osea es una potencia economica, decir que es lo peor de Europa occidental es un grave error, ademas no todos los paises que pertenecieron a españa fueron un desastre, por ejemplo:Argentina fue potencia economica antes de Peron.

Great video! Thanks. One-point that was overlooked, Amerigo Vespucci discovered mainland America in 1497. Christopher Columbus discovered the Caribbean, then later traveled to mainland after hearing about Vespucci's discoveries. This is why the Spanish crown named the Americas after Vespucci.

@@enoch8835 not really. At the time Portugal was interested in trade with india. Portugal didnt had the manpower to be a colonial empire, so they wanted to be a economical empire. Lets not forget that at the time the strategy worked and portugal was damn powerfull thanks to that. Portugal was also the first global empire and started thr age of discovery.
@@enoch8835 portugal got the extremely important silk trade and the whole of africa
If you speak Spanish to Africans some will understand & they'll respond back to you in Portugese.
Not really. Actually, we wouldn't have Brazil if we agreed with Spain. We told them to move the line east, and Spain, thinking it would give them most of Asia, agreed. We got Brazil cause we were lucky
i like how when they got to the "new world" they found it full of cities and people and said its older than the Old World : D also the Maya fought off subjugation longer than the aztec and Inca
They Maya resisted until the late 1600s and even after that they were still fighting the Mexican government till the early 1900s
Wow! It's a pretty awesome presentation though a bit hurried. But, I loved the graphics showing only the discovered lands and the rest in the dark. It's a great depiction of what sailors of those days faced - unknown darkness ahead of them. They plowed into the darkness to shed light on new places that most of the world did not know about. Thank you.

Spain was bigger than you say united with portugal 140years and has all california
Portugal and Spain had the same three Kings in a span of 60 years, but they weren't united in a kingdom, they were still two different entities
Nuno They had the Iberian union.
@@ASTUALPHA Yes but the empires remained separated, when Philip iv tried to really unite the two kingdoms the portuguese proclaimed a new king
We had California, Arizona, Nevada, Texas, Mississippi, Florida...

@Mike Myers joke's on you I'm Chinese
@Mike Myers yea boiiii, Malaysian colonies
You forget the reason why European nations had to find new trade routes at that time:
The capture of Constantinople by the Ottoman Empire in 1453.
That city was an important crossroads between Europe and Asia,it's capture effectively cut off the eastern land route for trade to Asia,so European powers needed to find another way to get to Asia.
They made an updated version of this vid that includes that
Europe to America: Wololo

Fun Fact: Archimedes gave an upper bound for the circumference of the Earth of 3,000,000 stadia (483,000 km or 300,000 mi) using the Hellenic stadion which scholars generally take to be 185 meters or 1⁄9 of a geographical mile.
Eratosthenes (276-194 BC), a Hellenistic astronomer from what is now Cyrene, Libya working in Alexandria, Egypt, estimated Earth's circumference around 240 BC, computing a value of 252,000 stades.
Ancient Greek units of measurement
Plato (427-347 BC) travelled to southern Italy to study Pythagorean mathematics. When he returned to Athens and established his school, Plato also taught his students that Earth was a sphere, though he offered no justifications.
Aristotle (384-322 BC) was Plato's prize student and "the mind of the school". Aristotle observed "There are stars seen in Egypt and Cyprus which are not seen in the northerly regions." Since this could only happen on a curved surface, he too believed Earth was a sphere "Of no great size, for otherwise the effect of so slight a change of place would not be quickly apparent."

Basically Canada are the Brits who resisted to the advance of the 13 rebel colonies, with a lot of French who already happened to live there
Basically, you're wrong. There were many British already living in present-day Canada, who were later joined there by 'loyalists' from the 13 colonies. To suggest that Canada is populated mainly with descendants from people who left what is now America is simply inaccurate and misleading.
@@95bochamp You're saying exactly what i am saying, only in a more precise way.
(Except maybe you mean "US", America is the name of the continent, there's no country called America)
No, I'm not saying what your first post said, which is that Canada was originally populated by some French along with British loyalists who only arrived in the wake of the American Revolution. That assertion, however general, is simply not true. Present-day Canada was actually inhabited by many British soldiers and settlers prior to the American Revolution, along with many French.There is no continent named 'America'. This term has been adopted by some misguided Euros as a means to describe two continents which comprise an entire hemisphere. And, while there is no country formally named 'America', use that term to (almost) anyone anywhere in the world and that person will assume you're referring to the USA. Further, no one, and I mean absolutely no one, who is not a U.S. citizen ever refers to themselves as 'American'. Ever. It's equivalent to referring to someone from New Zealand as an "Aussie" or referring to someone from Ireland as "British". Doing so is a good way to start a fight because referring to a non-American as American is not seen as flattering.
