    The Aztec collapse was also internal. Its people that it conquered were unloyal and constantly rebelled, and the Aztec economy was based on taking over more land for more resources since it wasn't self-sufficient. Once it took over new land, it created more unloyal subjects that rebelled even more, and this cycle would eventually destroy the Aztecs even if the Spanish never attacked.

    • @blanktrigger8863

      I don't think most folks realize that's how pretty much every economy worked before free market capitalism. Trade wars were likewise a giant trigger for war because the war for resources was being fought out in trade, too. As much as folks want to destroy capitalism, they have yet to propose any kind of system that profits, which will mean a return to warring for resources.

      The Aztecs didn't have a culture and only consisted of a small warrior class which was in power for a small amount of time in a small area. Mayan civilization existed for thousands of years up until today in some rural areas, and built everything the Aztecs claimed.

    • @rogerhennie8939

    • @Jo-Heike
      @Jo-Heike ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Denmark didn't rule Sweden, they were in a voluntary union with Denmark, but they could leave, and did leave. The same was true of Norway, they could have left the union with Denmark if they wanted to, but they didn't. Unfortunately Denmark-Norway sided with Napoleon during the Napoleonic wars, and Norway was ceded to Sweden afterwards (something Norway did not recognize, so Sweden invaded).
      Although, if you mean that Denmark ruled part of Sweden, then there is evidence of that, but not the whole of Sweden, and certainly not the whole of Modern Sweden.
      As for Estonia, apparently they did, learned something new. Although, it was only for a very short period of time. Denmark also controlled parts of Pomerania, and the northern most parts of Modern Germany.
      England was nearly controlled by Norse, and Danes several times, although, the North Sea Empire was the only time they actually succeeded. Still, they did rule England.
      As somebody else pointed out, the reason Denmark had/has Iceland, Greenland and the Faroe Isles was because they got to keep them when Norway was seceded to Sweden after Napoleon's defeat.

      Norway got it's first proper road in the 1630s. It was discovered silver in Kongsberg, and the Danish king needed to transport the silver from the mine, to Copenhagen. So they could build more castles in Denmark. (Norway has no castles from that periode).That 's how the 'union' worked. And most of the people with power in Norway was danes put there by the king in Copenhagen. In Norway the periode is called the 400 years long night.

      В мусульманских источниках, например, в списке покоренных Тамерланом земель территория называется "вилайет Болгар". У горе-историков по этому поводу разыгралась буйная фантазия, их вовсе не смущало что столицей вилаета, т.е. провинции, был город Булгар. Естественно никто себя болгарами не считал, точно также как жители "Московского княжества" не считали себя некой нацией "московитов", в существование которой верят свидомые украинцы. Татарами ранее назывались все тюркоязычные народы от Кавказа до Алтая. Самоназвание болгар сохранилось у балкарцев и у жителей современной Болгарии.

With the Dutch controlling the Hudson River area, the Swedes simply went south, to the next major inlet (the Delaware River), sailed up it and founded their colony. Something like 30 years later this colony ended up surrendering to the British, who went on to found New Jersey. Later came Billy Penn and Pennsylvania in 1681. The Swedes didn't leave. Today, Swedesboro is in the vicinity, south Jersey across from Philadelphia. Swedish arrivals didn't stop. It remained a favorite area for inbound Swedes.

    Great video. One correction on the Zulu Kingdom's fall. While Isandlwana was the Zulu's most famous victory over the Brits - indeed it is the worst single defeat in Modern British history - they were actually very successful against the English for about a year to 18 months and scored a number of victories against the British due to poor leadership and a failure to understand Zulu tactics.
    Some historians even argue that the Brits were only really able to win by attrition - a strategy they'd employ again during the Anglo-Boer, Anglo-Pedi, and South African (Anglo-Boer II) wars.

    After Swyen Forkebeard died, the English decided they wanted they’re ole king back so they made Aethelred king again. Canute was busy claiming the throne of Denmark, so when he was finally ready to attack England, he rose a mighty army. Then Aethelred promptly died so Canute peacefully invaded and took England back.

    The Sikh Empire was not a nation. It was an Empire. It had Punjabis, Kashmiris and among others. The nation state concept didn't exist in India until the British. Different regions would be constantly conquering each other. For example, the Kannadigas frequently ruled over the Telugus, Tamils, Malyalis and Marathis. One time, the Tamils ruled over the Kannadigas, Telugus, Malyalis, Odias and Bengalis.

      Volga Tatars are literally Volga Bulgars
      Population genetic analysis indicated that Conquerors had closest connection to the Onogur-Bulgar ancestors of Volga Tatars.
      www.nature.com/articles/s41598-019-53105-5
      Thus supporting the view that Tatars may be descendents of ancient Bulgars.
      pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22520580/
      Most Tatars trace their descent to Volga Bulgars, a medieval Turkic people who have inhabited the Middle Volga and lower Kama region.
      online.ucpress.edu/search-results?page=1&q=Bulgars
      The forefathers of Kazan Tatars were Bulgars - a Turkic group that settled in the Middle Ages to Volga region.

      Aztecs were not even ethnic meso-americans, they were southwest Pima/Comanche/hopi ethnic genetic stock Indians who fled south after the collapse of an older empire due to climate change/water shortages. So they were seen as foriegn conquerors by the native tribes mostly Nahuatl speaking.

      Gary Pulliam Prussia defeated the Germany even tho they were all technical Germanic people. They took the Germany name to ease tensions scand moved the capital from Konigberg modern day kalingrad and moved it to Berlin to assimilate with the German people. But it was Prussia who dominated politics for example the Kaiser was Prussian military was Prussian led every function was dominated by the prussians they were Germany in name only to this day. At conclusion of World War Two reason Syria and Israel are in such conflict it’s not an Arab and Jewish thing but two separate Prussian factions settling on each side. Ironically they are same people but with different strain of ideologies of thought. The strange relationship is real has with Syria estranged like brothers fighting a civil war.each side has supporters but this is mere a contusion of Prussian / German wars of the 1800s nothing more nothing less simply a people relocated and continuation of the battle.
