Half hour in before we even hear what I presume is a Caribbean accent talking about the place. It’s like the history of the Caribbean through the eyes of a Risk board game conquerer.
@@monstaro19 Hi! I love the Caribbean.. have visited Dominica several times is super close to my heart!! is there any video material i can see in the internet that you find more close to reality? thanks
@@monstaro19 I'm tired of history being told by the opressors. They said in this video that the only evidence is from Europeans. Please tell me somebody here knows where I can find some of this history being told by actual Caribbeans.
I haven’t heard anything about the Taino Indians... We tainos were all over the Caribbean... The boriquenos is a big factor left out... why idk but there’s a reason for that I do know...
@@Blixky-mn4fn you are absolutely correct; nor is there much, by way of modern history, research, or discussion about the Arawaks. Some say there is no vast distinction among the early tribes.
I just happen to watch your documentary the “History of the Caribbean” and I find it, at least, very much incomplete. I am confuse by your presentation - I would rather call it “History of the English, Dutch and French Caribbean”. It seems that the Spanish, the larger area of this region, is absent by your account - you hardly mention the Dominican Republic and, especially, "Cuba." The rich history, the important music and plastic arts, among other contributions of this island nation, are undoubtedly significant when presenting the history of the Caribbean basin.
Hi orvla3 - We are sorry that you found the History of the Caribbean incomplete. There is so much rich history in the Caribbean, if only we had the money to produce a series. Then we could have covered so very many more details. Thank you for your comments, we appreciate all feedback. From Connie Jennings, producer.
The spainish were rich but to damn weak look how they lost all of south American so easy, British west Indies were the better govern and structure plantations they produced the minority of sugar for export unfortunately or fortunately my island Trinidad and Tobago were easily taken over by Britain that the spainish just pack up and move out without a fright trust I missed out on the chance of speaking spainish lol...
Whom are you addressing this to? Do you think the people who made this documentary are actually the same people who have uploaded it, and that they read what is written in the comments section?
Beautiful thought, if they were not as noble to the strangers across the ocean, it would have helped too. But I am glad they can say because they were noble is why they lost.
1. Many so called Blacks where "stolen" from other lands mainly Africa. 2. Many so called blacks were living in what is called the Americas including the Caribbean and all across the world.. Thats why all the aboriginals and natives are Black so the call us
Why the hell are these people explaining our history?? And adding their spin on it. Since when was the language of Barbados or Jamaica called creole? And explaining about the African drum? I cant continue to watch this...i cant.....
Créole encompasses all aspects of culture, language, cuisine, etc based on mix of continental influences. In reference to linguistics, Germanic and Latin based languages that spread across the Caribbean during the colonial era, are very much supporting the nature of creole due to their unique mix of old and new world crossovers. To put it simply, there exist both French creole where you can find on Martinique, and English creole from Barbados.
I know they are missing alot. And I know our people's suffer in that time. Everyone wanted to take control. And as usual America had to get it to. The past and present is all screwed up. Be safe
The disrespect of claiming the History of the carribean with the picture of Christopher Columbus, is a discredited and disrespectful. (Boriken is a hebrew word ) simmer in that. We Tainos... Have always had close relations with the surrounding islands. We invented canoes, cacike Enrique: if being christians means we will be like you (spaniards) i will rather go to hell. That's how horrible the christian spaniards were that indians would rather die.
The Europeans were Black. Salvador Fernandez Zarco (Christopher Columbus) was not a White man. White People did not exist in History at that time in the 15th Century. The Ladinos were the one who had the knowledge of sugar plantations. America is the old world. Research for yourself, it's been all documented, seek and ye shall find.
I believe it, you fool. Because it’s the white people who won it and did something with it all. It wasn’t until the low IQ natives “gained independent that all of it went to complete shit. Furthermore, why don’t you tell the “real” history then, instead of bitch and virtue signal about it.
@@StopFear YES... The same freaking ppl who live of the island.... FYI. And that bastards Columbus had some truth. Did you real them.. 😒. I thought not.
Mimosa40 ***** You only proved my point. How is anybody supposed to learn this oral history when it is oral? Only by printing and publishing it. Well, tell me what non-European people were doing that before Europeans? You are suggesting that no one who isn’t native has a right to tell the history; and that if they do that it is not accurate. That is nonsense on your part by its own. But additionally you have not pointed to even a single thing that is in the documentary which you believe to be false. The only conclusion is that you are an idiot who is full of shit.
Boy, there a sure a lot of folks who are really angry over events that occurred hundreds of years ago. Yes, of course, the problems of today have their foundations in the past, and past injustices and crimes still oppress many, if not most, people today. This video is a very brief summary of the history of the area, and so does not examine -all- the issues that commenters have raised. But most of the objections are unnecessarily harsh, some are quite personal, attacking the face of the person presenting, who is after all, an actor hired to read a script. If you're upset or offended by this gloss-over of history, feel free to write a script, offer your research and sources, produce a video and fill us all in on what you know. Many of the assertions made here by commenters are obviously inconsistent with established fact or are flat out made up stories to assuage hurt feelings. It's not a cultural insult to say that one group conquered another, that's human history all over the planet. Historical facts are not a personal insult to you or your origins. We're never going to get together as humans if we constantly assault one another verbally over issues that are no longer relevant to today's problems. Want to know the history of the Caribbean? Read a goddam book! Or even two!
Hi Brian. We're sorry you feel that way. The "white" man did not write the script. The man you see as the narrator is an actor. The script he is reading was written by several writers, historians, professors, archaeologists and geologists. You may have also noted several local interviews within the show. Again, we are sorry you feel this documentary is terrible, but we value your opinion.
So you disliked the documentary because you couldn't watch it? You're basically saying that you didn't like what you saw because you couldn't see it; which means you're judging the documentary without even watching it..... Also, if you really wanted to, there a tons of methods for downloading youtube videos. I'm not saying it's right nor am I saying it's wrong, but if you really wanted to you could, you know.
9:28 they concord the arowak yet they were still around.. flash forward and Columbus makes sure there's not 1 left. And thats the diff between ppl when they go to war or "concur" a place..
Believe me as someone from the Caribbean you still know very little after this doc...unfortunately. I had to check the date on this video when I saw how innocuous and ridiculously backward it was! I mean, did he seriously refer to the native people as "Indians", I said to myself. LOL It went down hill from there.
Originally South America was part of the African continent. West Africans fishing in large groups with their families 20 thousands years ago & prior would easily end up in the Americas in just about a week out at sea. This certainly explains why the Olmec heads look the way they do. Africa & South America continues to move away from each other about 2cm per year.
Africans did make it to South America, but it wasn't apart of the African continent. Some scholars believe the Olmecs were a mix of Asian and African people . I tend to believe they were more African only based off facial structure. But, a mix between the two could very well be. Scholars believe Chinese people came from Africa , so this is a strong possibility.
So are we to over stand that the Americans is a new world 🤔💭then how do these Americans have a continental flag & the zodiac constitution then what also about the mongol invasion of Mexico Bogotá and Peru I think the indigenous need to speak there own story stand up Lakono
There are several issues with this glorification of colonialism but I was quit peeved to hear the indigenous people of the Caribbean referred to as Indians, especially when there are these supposed experts on Caribbean history.
It's what we were thought in school. Indians doesn't Exist! Don't ever forget why they were called Indians! It's because the Demons thought they were in India.
Loving this one thanks for sharing very important information giving thanks blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work
Hello guys dont forget that Venezuelan indigenous invaded the Antilles island per island from Trinidad to the Bahamas and is the best kept secret if the Caribbean
After learning the History of the Caribbean at a young age I developed a big disgust for USA, the Netherlands, UK, Portugal, France and most of all Spain. It was once a Hatred, now it's just disgusting.
The Old world = Europe and Africa.. what dude? Asia and the Indian Ocean was the main world market and europeans needed the resources of the new world to become a competitior there, even if the portuguese and the Dutch had warred there way to trade there for many years before the silver and gold started to flow from the mines of Mexico and Peru. So Asia dominated the world trade, and Chinas empire would uphold this until the brittish started warring with steel ships driven by steam in the 1800s - also before and after the OPIUM.
If this is history of the Caribbean, it is very much in complete. For example; The full ugly truth... brutal and disgusting behavior and treatment of the indigenous peoples and the Africans by the EUROPEANS CAUCASIANS, should have been told.
Columbus guide/ navigator, Pedro Alonso Nino-Laddino speaking Moor of AL Andalusia, Spain already knew the route. Taking the Volto do Mar Largo current manyvtimes prior to the Treaty of Grenada in which Isabella petitioned Muhammid X11 to disclose the source of wealth.for this Nasrid dynasty allegiant to the Sultunate of Turkey.Colimbus was simply seeing if what Muhammid X11 was saying was true.
What am most interested in did not come up and that is The name BAHAMA, how did it come up in THE CARIBBEAN ISLANDS? The other Islands are named after people like St. Vincent, St. Lucia Martinique and others, but whos name is BAHAMA and if it is a name of a person , who was He/She? Thanks.
This is all fucked up and now you see y we Puerto Rican’s are always hated becuz we carry our Taino blood 🩸 on our sleeve “ but we respect love and nurture the world bye being Indian Taino blood 🩸
Brian it doesn't or shouldn't matter what pigment level and ethnicity the speaker or writers are, that said WTM your documentary is rather cheesy, superficial and 'white' or should I say quite 'Eurocentric' and a bit amatureurish. A very top down distant view that reminds me of a 1950s textbook.
Yea im frm one of the islands u mentioned seems a little biased n misleading ..i certainly wudnt call it the title u chose soo much info is missing to b considered as such!
We Africans know our history when they try to tell us our history laugh Africans people we make the world Old and new propaganda like this we laugh and learn
The Siboney and Tainos had different origens. The Siboney were Mayans and Tainos were more Arawaks from Venezuela and the Amazon areas, so were the Carib tribes, The Vikings of the islands. This is NOT the History of the Caribbean, This is more the colonization of the Americans
+Lee Randall Thanks for the comment Lee. The "white" man did not write the script. The man you see as the narrator is an actor.

Fact! The tetonic plates moved apart through natural disasters such as moonsoons, floods and Psunamis this was called pangea, the Caribbean is South America and is part of North do not let the devil oppressors fool u, there was migration and trade in ancient times, actually the Americas was once part of the land of Kush( Kumeri Khandam) now known as Africa there was a continental shift the whole, they talk about the lost Atlantis! There is list civilization buried under the ocean Atlantic ocean was formerly which was formerly called the Aetiopic ocean because these diverse tribes migrated out of the continent and also did lots of trading and building ancient civilizations, as u can see the ancient pyramid like monuments has proven it, the ancient stones bear witnessed
Sorry programme should be taken with a pinch of salt. Slavery is only referred to as been practiced by "the Caribs", so there was not unknown to the islands sorry but Africans were taken(abducted from Africa). The Tajhania peoples are not Caribs but came from south America not north America via the land bridge.
Teddy Roosevelt's Rough Riders were saved by black Buffalo soldiers who did most of the initial fighting in Cuba for the Rough Riders and saved them from catastrophe at San Juan Hill. Roosevelt initially expressed his gratitude on record to many sources, but then later, when running for office published The Charge on San Juan Hill, which characterized the whole event like it was a minstrel show, making himself look heroic and African-Americans inept. The whole thing is another dark spot on how African-American accomplishments are often downplayed in white history books. I did research on this subject going through university library peer-reviewed sources and publications so I know what I am talking about. The omission of pictures of companies of black US soldiers is regretful, further feeding the misconceptions and perceptions or our collective history as a people.
You don’t know what you’re talking about please stop trying to describe Where we are from or who we are and you don’t know anything about what you talking about don’t do this anymore let us describe our own history we know it better this is all a bunch of crap
Half hour in before we even hear what I presume is a Caribbean accent talking about the place. It’s like the history of the Caribbean through the eyes of a Risk board game conquerer.

The great civilizations and pyramids were constructed centuries before the the indians came by Africans. Do research to find the accurate facts.
Had Amerindians been more united and not have been infected by diseases then they could have won

Beautiful thought, if they were not as noble to the strangers across the ocean, it would have helped too. But I am glad they can say because they were noble is why they lost.

If this is history of the Caribbean, it is very much in complete. For example;

is reading was written by several writers, historians, professors,
archaeologists and geologists. You may have also noted several local
interviews within the show. Again, thanks for your response we value your opinion.
Mayans and arawaks😂😂😂😂 you lot love a Disney fable😂😂😂
LET US NOT FORGET ABOUT SLAVERY.
Caribbean people are so much smarter then Americans.
But must be trained before....
By far my brother 🇯🇲🇦🇬🇧🇸🇱🇨🇻🇨🇧🇧✊
id love visit all!
Mexico is in North America not the Caribbean
Mexico is in Central America!! It is probably lumped with the Caribbean for the same reason that North Africa is called "Middle East"!!
North American continent runs from the arctic circle to panama and includes the Caribbean islands.
Fact! The tetonic plates moved apart through natural disasters such as moonsoons, floods and Psunamis this was called pangea, the Caribbean is South America and is part of North do not let the devil oppressors fool u, there was migration and trade in ancient times, actually the Americas was once part of the land of Kush( Kumeri Khandam) now known as Africa there was a continental shift the whole, they talk about the lost Atlantis! There is list civilization buried under the ocean Atlantic ocean was formerly which was formerly called the Aetiopic ocean because these diverse tribes migrated out of the continent and also did lots of trading and building ancient civilizations, as u can see the ancient pyramid like monuments has proven it, the ancient stones bear witnessed
Mexico is part of North America and so is the Caribbean ... the Yucatán part of Mexico is also Caribbean. But it’s not a Caribbean island..
Preach it mon
my name is jeff!!
Yo how outdated is this propaganda shit. They left out so much about what really happened
Sorry programme should be taken with a pinch of salt. Slavery is only referred to as been practiced by "the Caribs", so there was not unknown to the islands sorry but Africans were taken(abducted from Africa). The Tajhania peoples are not Caribs but came from south America not north America via the land bridge.
You guys always leave Turks and Caicos Islands out.
Turks?
What Indians, these were black people.
Teddy Roosevelt's Rough Riders were saved by black Buffalo soldiers who did most of the initial fighting in Cuba for the Rough Riders and saved them from catastrophe at San Juan Hill. Roosevelt initially expressed his gratitude on record to many sources, but then later, when running for office published The Charge on San Juan Hill, which characterized the whole event like it was a minstrel show, making himself look heroic and African-Americans inept. The whole thing is another dark spot on how African-American accomplishments are often downplayed in white history books. I did research on this subject going through university library peer-reviewed sources and publications so I know what I am talking about. The omission of pictures of companies of black US soldiers is regretful, further feeding the misconceptions and perceptions or our collective history as a people.
BUT Y IS THE RUM GONE!!!!!!
