- The Age of Discovery is a journey through the era of European exploration during the Early Modern period, from around 1500 to 1800. It is divided into 5 main parts. The first is the continuation of the spread of Islam in Southeast Asia and Africa. We then take a look at the early expeditions of the Portuguese, including Vasco da Gama in India, further voyages to Malacca and the Spice Islands, and the voyages of the Spanish, under Christopher Columbus. Afterwards, we go over the beginnings of colonization in each region, starting with the Americas and the end of the Aztec and Inca Empires, and the establishment of the Spanish, Portuguese, English, French, and Dutch colonies, as well as the pirates of the Caribbean in the Golden Age of Piracy. We then shift focus to Africa, and how the Songhai, Swahili Coast, Mutapa, and coastal African kingdoms were affected by the arrival of the Portuguese, and what would become the Atlantic Slave Trade. Finally, we turn to Southeast Asia, and the Islamic regions of the Malay peninsula and archipelago, and the mainly Buddhist mainland.
There are many theories about the Age of Discovery that are still up in the air.

• Phase 3: The Early Mod...
Welcome to Early Modern series of the World History Summarized project! The entire project is meant to summarize broad topics in history and balances political history and events, with social/daily life, and culture. If you've watched our History of the World documentary, the project is a perfect next step. The videos are standalone, but presented in a chronological fashion. This series "the Early Modern" takes place after our megadocumentaries "The Ancient World" and "The Medieval World". It will be divided into 5 videos about the Early Modern period (c. 1500 - 1800) all over the world, and will be called Phase 3. Once these 5 videos are completed, we will move onto Phase 4 of the project, but this series will be considered completed, and compiled into ONE MEGA-DOCUMENTARY containing all 5 parts.

Civilization is millions of years older than we now believe. Just look at Gobleki tepi. We're learning more about our past every day, and more about past global catastrophic events
greed ;)
the european powers were so technologically advanced, they dominated every place they discovered. considering europe's millenia of conflict, it is reasonable for the european powers to be exploitative. its all they knew. and they knew if they didn't take it, some other euro cunt would.
the old world, especially the mediterranean, was an absolute crucible of warfare and violence, for 2000+ years, from greece to the age of discovery. they had to rapidly develop powerful technologies and strategies just to survive at all. when these europeans, these monsters of war, made contact with chill indigenous people, or even the warlike ones, the indigenous did not stand a chance. and the euro's knew no other way. people like to shit on colonialism, and they have a point, but i can't help but be deeply impressed by the might of european culture.
Still to this day i'm impressed how a small Kingdom like Portugal did all that. Massive respect.
Didn't you watch?
They used technology developed by other cultures.
@@gfish9636 Are you drunk? They were pioneers in sailing, built the caravels based on their fishing vessels and were the first to cross Africa via sea and win the spice trade from the Ottoman Empire. To be fair, all other European Empires copied them.

Portugal was great!❤🇵🇹
Absolutely brilliant trip into history. With introspection, I wouldn’t be alive today. One of my ancestors was captured by the Dutch, holding him for ransom as he was the son of the sultan of the Moluccas. The Dutch brought him as a prisoner to the Cape in the 1700’s. He never went back to his home and made a life in this new land after being freed from his imprisonment.
And that's how Arabic was the first script the language of Afrikaans was written in. Afrikaans was the language of the settled working class, the VOC-ers wrote in Dutch.

After the first successes and conquests in India, Portugal's main objective at the beginning of the 16th century was the conquest of China. The Portuguese king even dispatched an Ambassador to Beijing with two tasks: to celebrate the first trade agreements between Portugal and China and; spy on the Chinese and assess their defensive capabilities. The mission commanded by Tomé Pires was held in Canton, after leaving for Pequin the Portuguese were arrested on various charges (espionage, cannibalism, etc.) and eventually executed. Only after this Embassy failed did the King of Portugal abandon his dream of conquering China and decided to invest 1/3 of the crown's annual income in the construction of the city of Salvador in Brazil to centralize and intensify the colonial exploitation of his largest colony. Tomé de Sousa was responsible for being the first governor general of Brazil.

The Spanish Armada never was defeted by Drake, most of the Spanish Armada returned to Spain because the storms. Next year, the British Armada with Drake and Norris was absolutely defeted and destroyed by the Spanish Army...
a quick google search indicates around half of the Spanish Armada didn't return. There are different counts of both losses and total ships and yes it's known many ships wrecked rather than being combat losses but "most of the Spanish Armada returned to Spain" doesn't appear to be accurate. Drake's subsequent invasion of Spain was indeed a disaster.
@@skipperson4077 It is known that exactly 28 ships did not returned and the total number for the Gran Armada were 131 ships , so It is not a half neither 1/3 It is less than 1/4. Please take a look at google in the correct place.
@@claramente8087 Could you cite your source? It does appear I need to revise downward my numbers but the historical truth as sometimes happens appears quite complex and there is wide various in numbers of ships comprising the Armada. what wiki says:
The number of ships lost have been debated - a detailed study by Spanish naval historian Fernandez Duro in the mid 1880's claimed that 63 in total were lost.[115] Historian José Luis Casado Soto examined the fate of each ship creating individual dossiers and claimed that 35 ships were lost.[116] In addition it was noted that of the 122 Armada ships that entered the English Channel, 87 returned from their voyage through the Channel and around the British isles.[117] However these figures don't include eight that were unaccounted for.[118] Other historians have done further research; Neil Hanson, Robert Hutchinson, Colin Martin and Geoffrey Parker all researched the Armada ships that had returned coming to the same conclusion. The overall figure of between 44 and 51 ships being lost overall - with more detailed breakdowns in the number of ships that set sail along with their fate.[119][120] That figure being a third of the fleet had been sunk, captured, wrecked or scuttled.[121] American historian Garrett Mattingly noted that only 66 ships returned to Spain, with another returning later in the year.[122] The losses did not include the smaller vulnerable ships like the pataches and zarbas,[123] of which around seventeen were lost.[124] Even though most of the ships had returned, many of them were severely damaged from either the storms, and English gunfire. One hulk the Doncella sank after they had cast anchor in Santander, and the Santa Anna was accidentally burned within a few days of entering San Sebastian.[125] In addition the severely damaged galleons San Marcos and San Francisco were broken up, the guns and the timber being sold off. As many as half of the fleet were unfit for further service and as a result a number were scuttled, broken up or left to rot.[126]
Furthermore, Spanish sources state that no more than 11,000 perished.[127][128][129] Philip's administrators, bureaucrats and secretaries documented, dated and filed everything that went on in all corners of the Spanish empire, and all those records are still kept in the National Archives of Spain and the Escorial. The number of men lost was extracted from the paymaster distribution lists.[130] A detailed analysis of the human cost of the campaign reveals that 25,696 men left Coruña and 13,399 returned.[131]
Even after arrival the men were near death from disease, as the conditions were very cramped, and most of the ships had run out of food and water. More Armada survivors later died in Spain or on hospital ships in Spanish harbours from diseases contracted during the voyage. A large number of prominent Spanish commanders also died, many after having arrived in port. Vice Admiral of the fleet and commander of the Guipuzcoa Squadron, Miguel de Oquendo suffering from battle wounds and a fever, died at Coruña two days after arriving. Another was the Biscayan squadron commander Juan Martínez de Recalde, who also succumbed the same way.[132] The Duke of Medina Sidonia also fell ill on his return and nearly succumbed; he was not blamed by Philip, who allowed him to return home to convalesce. Hutchinson claimed that the number of survivors was just over 50% but these numbers however do not include the Portuguese, the Neapolitans and the galley slaves.[133] while Hanson claimed that fewer than 10,000 men (38%) survived the expedition.[134]

Very well put together and researched! My maternal grandfather's lineage is French and my dad's is African through the triangular trade. My country, St Vincent and the Grenadines in the Eastern Caribbean, went back and forth between French and British rule for many years until finally staying under British rule from the late 1700s until independence in 1979. Neighbouring islands of St Lucia and Dominica still have strong French influences evident in their culture, and of course Martinique and Guadeloupe are still French territories.

The most important scholars of Renaissance humanism consider Prince Henry the Navigator to be the most important man in European history.
As attested by a letter written by the Italian sage Poggio Bracciolini to the Infante, in 1448-1449. The literate Italian compares his achievements to those of Alexander the Great, or those of Julius Caesar, praising them even more for being conquests of places unknown to all Humanity. Poggio Bracciolini (1380 - Florence, 1459), was one of the most important humanists of the Italian Renaissance.
Without a doubt, no one else in history has managed to make their actions change the world as much as Prince Henry. He transformed the old world of small villages frozen in time, into a world where the entire planet is part, where all cultures become part of human knowledge.
Especially poor old Europe, full of famine, will benefit most from this. Until then, rich Arab and Asian merchants said that Europe was so poor that the only valuable merchandise were white European slaves.
The world becomes truly global. However, in the 19th century the war for European national pride will make other countries that were looking for the scepter of glory in European history, try to destroy the importance of Henry the Navigator to assume the throne of global history themselves and the only way to achieve this was by accusing him of having "invented" slavery, which is totally false and scandalously shameful on the part of all those who wrote books full of lies just to try to impose slavery on him.
It is so criminally false that there is not a single true document linking it to slavery.
Only after the death of Henry the navigator in 1460 did slavery become necessary for the Americas, which had not yet been discovered at the time of Henry's death.
Therefore, the only way to denigrate him was to say that he took the slaves to the sugar plantations in Madeira. But at the time of his death, Madeira produced little more than cereals. It was the Flemish, Jewish and Genoese who introduced sugar to Madeira. They had already exploited sugar and slaves for over 100 years in the Mediterranean and especially in Sicily.
The Portuguese did not know about sugar and even less about the slavery of Africans.
In 1441, the first black people arrived in Portugal, who were brought by Antão Gonçalves, in the Rio do Ouro region. The captives and not slaves, as the racists like to call them, were treated very well, but Andahu, the native chief, constantly asked to be allowed to return to his land. Infante D. Henrique acceded to his wish, and Antão Gonçalves, when he went back to the Coast of Africa, took the black leader with him.
The relationship with the king of Congo was so good that the Congolese elites began to adopt noble titles, that is, they wanted to be called counts and even dukes.
In the following centuries, the Dutch and companies of German-Jewish capital arrived, and from then until the Belgian king's hands were cut off, the situation of the Portuguese was completely reversed.
Unfortunately, anti-Catholic and anti-Lusophone propaganda spends millions of dollars every year, just to "sow" false stories, designed to praise profit maximization, perpetuating human exploitation and destruction of the planet, through financing books, written intentionally to blame others for their own atrocities.
However, there is a big difference between what Europeans read and what they see when they get to know Portugal and the Portuguese.
The difference between mere dogmatic theory and knowledge through experience was precisely what the Discoveries introduced and that was what made humanity evolve like never before. Therefore, if we go back to blindly believing in mere propagandistic theory, we will be going back 500 years.
What everyone can really see is that the world has completely changed from before to after Henry the Navigator!
😊❤
I always find it amusing that when explaining the slave trade in Africa, it is greatly glossed over that the majority of slaves came from African territory warfare and chieftains selling subects to traders. It is very popular to declare that the United States was the only nation to engage in the slave trade. Slavery is a profession as old as homo erectus.
That doesn't make it okay to buy slaves. You're complicit.
@@jasonhaven7170 That doesn't make it okay to sell others into slavery. You're complicit
I hear ya. From today’s history, you would think that the Americans ruled the world slave trade and captured the slaves all by themselves.
The truth is, slavery had been around ever since man could talk, and South America dwarfed us when it came to slave numbers.
And it was non Caucasians that went into interior Africa to capture slaves that they SOLD to Westerners.
But people just love to blame whitey.

The software narrator is actually not bad for software. Not as good as a human like Bettany Hughes or David Attenborough, but acceptable.
Screw your quotation marks.
Thanks.
Not bad overall for a more popular history effort at centuries of history in just 50mn.
I don't know if that it is really possible to ever give a "fair" account given the limitations but this video does make a pretty good attempt.
So here is my 50mn critic/opinion/rant about your video. Note that i am not one to be very cautious with my words (take it as you see fit). I hope that even you don't agree with any of the following, at least you appreciate the effort 😉
History should give a more factual view of the world and leave the morals to the readers. Which is of course never easy since we all have our own morals views. And the "age of exploration" (the usual label) is so extreme in so many ways. But being factual is still the gold standard to make the distinction between history and political/morals editorial views.
In this video there are still some weird rhetoric and labelling here and there coming from older/newer low knowledge and distorted morals. They are our old (and newer trends) intellectual and cultural baggage that is so hard to left behind. That means that there are still many places where one can point the finger. It is these small details that take away from the credibility of the author and from the whole video.
But there were also places where you managed to avoid those ignorant rhetoric. Like for example when you described the Tordesillas treaty as a pact o non-aggression and influence between the 2 powers instead of showing it as the usual dumb "dividing the whole world between the 2 countries" or whatever other thing.
Or you didn't bring the dumbest of all the arguments "why they say that they discovered things if they already existed"?
Or why is the history of the age of exploration told and taught to me (a "westerner" in a western school) so much centered on the point of view of the "westerners"?
When one hears such a 3 years olds questions coming from supposedly adults, the cringe level can only go trough the roof.
Sometimes one does descend into weird though like "Are these people really so protected in their life that they really think that the world is made of bunnies and flowers"? Or were they never forced by reality to think by themselves about such basic everyday things?
And overall thankfully it does seem that you tried to avoid most of these non-arguments.
It is the attention to these details that give credibility to the author and the whole narrative.
I must say that i have been left with a much more positive view of the whole video than a negative one.
One good aspect is how you managed to put so much history about the non-european countries and how they were affected by all of this european movement. So much of that history is left behind (and was destroyed) in the typical historical accounts.
And for the most part, it seem that you didn't explicitly try to portray them as some dumb utopic and enlightened people oppressed by the evil europeans. Though one must note that there were many cases where the descriptions, left as they were themselves, could (and will surely be) be interpreted that way by mindless uncaring people.
You managed to bring plenty of the slavery facts in there.
It could have been much better but such a subject is probably the hardest to talk about without going on some weird tangents.
For example you showed the barbarity and cruelty of the whole thing without trying to put some evil hat on the europeans vs the poor oppressed nations. You mentioned also the complicity of those nations. But you mentioned the long term harsh influence that these complicity had on the whole place and people.
One counter balance to this discourse that you probably should have tried to add is the barbarity of the slave trade in the whole place before the european arrived. You did add that the slave trade already existed and such, but showing the horror film (that cannot be denied. respect to the uncountable victims) of the european part without showing the other horror film that happened without them (that cannot be denied. respect to the uncountable victims) is really too biased.
i am not even mentioning more pedantic things like the fact that most historical presentation on youtube uses more modern labels (or even foreign ones) for things that would probably never be recognized by the people of the time.
But i must say to these people. Come on. To who is this video directed at? To the people of that time or to a 21 century audience. Are you going to have to use ecclesiastic Latin you want to make a video about the bible in the middle ages or whatever?
At most you could push for the popularization of the original labels. That is one thing that i think as a great idea. Bring the native names, ideas and culture to balance the more "modernly distorted ones". And what if the native labels and views end up naturally be the new modern view? So be it. That shows that they deserve there place.
There is a catch in my latest argument. I am making the same weird assumption that the whole world follows the same values, language and cultural heritage. That is the "real modern idea" brought by the internet. The illusion that we are all neighbours in a small village.
Who knows? Maybe some day that will turn into something with real basis? Though i believe that for it to be realized, we certainly will need for a very different mentality from the old idea of what is an isolated villager. A mix between a small community and a global one... is such a thing possible? Probably another utopia but who knows?
Yeah. it is really not an easy thing to show the history of centuries in just over 50mn. I think any attempt (by anyone) will be always be full of weaknesses. But as long as it is done in sincerity and open mind, i think it is a work deserving of respect.
Is there any channel(s) under your radar that is providing factual history?
Maarten Tromp ( 23 April 1598 - 31 July 1653), was a Dutch army general, and admiral in the Dutch navy, during much of the Eighty Years' War and throughout the First Anglo-Dutch War.
Son of a ship's captain, Tromp spent much of his childhood at sea, during which time he was captured twice, by pirates and enslaved by Barbary Corsairs.
Between 1617 and 1625 Barbaric pirates raided & enslaved 206 Dutch ships!
Just to show, how immense the Barbaric slave trade was.
Giving the impression, that by that time(early 1600s), they already, must have raided half Africa, for slaves..
Europeans were also targeted because they tended to pay ransoms to get the slaves back.
Amazing

What happened with all the native people in the Caribbean islands of the British, Duchs, French...there are no one today indigenous people there, neither in Maryland, Connecticut....etc. Why do you explain about the contact of spanish people with natives but nothing about contact of british with natives? Why?
Most died of disease. Which could not have been prevented.
@@Tolstoy111 as usual in historic times epidemic diseases used to kill 50%-30% of the people but what happened with the other 50%-70%? Can you explain to all of us....or may be that policy of ..."the best Indian is the dead Indian" was the cause? Don't you?.
@@claramente8087 The “Indians” were often in perpetual war with each other - genocidally so. But millions died before even seeing Europeans - diseases traveled faster than people.
@@claramente8087 some died by various means, some will have moved voluntarily (or have been moved, think Indian reservations), the rest will have interbred with white Europeans.
I've a second cousin by marriage who is 8th Native American, who is white, in Ontario. She'll be one of many.
@@sharonsloan Interbred was ilegal and prosecuted all along anglosaxon world until mid 20th Century, and the politics for the natives was..." the best native is the death native " in America.... So actually this is the explanation and the consecuences which today there are just 1,5% natives in Anglo America while there are 80% natives in Spanish América.

I enjoyed this in many ways but please remember the Aztec religion was one which practiced human sacrifice and ritual cannibalism. So there's a limit to the idea that the Spanish were practicing some sort of cultural genocide. What Cortez did to them was justice. Would you want to live in a world where such things were still in existence?
And that gives you the right to massacre all Native Americans?
Frankly, yes. Better than millions enslaved and killed which is what the Spanish did.
@@jasonhaven7170In the Spanish Empire, indigenous slavery did not exist; it was prohibited by the laws of "burgos" and the protection of Indian women, in addition to the missionaries who defended the indigenous people in the early years.

You have some good content-but fall into the modern “Western historian’s” habit of dwelling on the “history” of slavery, the “bad treatment” of indigenous peoples (by Westerners, of course), and spend inordinate amounts of time on “accomplishments” of history’s “have nots” (accomplishments which had little historical impact/scope outside of their limited region)
Unfortunately (thanks to such content), today’s youth tend to have far more familiarity with the “infamy” of Spanish Conquestidor contact with Inca/Aztec tribes-while being unaware that the vast majority of local tribes regarded both as the Al-Quedas of their day (committing genocide of their people through constant warfare, and the gruesome, mass human sacrifices of the captured)….
The Aztecs, were indeed Hated by pretty much every other tribe around them.. Because the Aztecs would raid the other Tribes for Slaves and Sacrifices.
The Spanish have a term for this phenomenon - the black legend. Anti Hispanic/Catholic propaganda from the 16th and 17th century that is still being repeated even today.

The conquistadors literally destroyed the city. It's the truth.
As a Portuguese person, I will tell you something that will surprise you, Christopher Columbus was Portuguese, and he discovered the Guanahani Islands, not through Portuguese boats, but with Spanish boats, why? : Because the world was divided in half by the Treaty of Trodesillas ( one part for SPAIN another to PORTUGAL) where one part belonged to the Spanish and the other to Portuguese, and the islands of Guanahani were part of the Spanish quadrant, saying that the Portuguese discovered America was the same as saying that Portugal would break the treaty of Tordesillas and that would imply WAR, so the two kingdoms agreed to say that the Christopher Columbus he was Italian
@@shemraschke Yes, the Treaty was signed in 1494 and Cristovão discovered America in 1492, but the Treaty began to be negotiated a few years earlier, where the Spanish quadrant was already defined to the East and the Portuguese quadrant to the West, the dividing line. I don't believe that something so important was discussed and signed in 1494. In my opinion, this discussion must have started a few years earlier!!!!!
@@shemraschke I thought I was talking to someone who knows the history of politics, boy, other countries? you must be referring to Portugal, which was indeed the world power in navigation, where its navigators discovered the sea route to India, the true objective of the Spanish crown, but where King John II of Portugal hired Columbus, a Portuguese spy to send Columbus and the crown of Spain far away from the Indies, and even so there was a rectification in the treaty because we already knew that there was Brazil in the quadrant of Spain... when you talk about other countries you should refer to Portugal!!!!!
Colombus was born in Genua.....
And he lived in Portugal for a while. He met his wife there i believe.
@@jelletiegelaar9904 Spain already has Columbo's DNA, but does not want to reveal it because he is Portuguese
Spain keeps Columbo's remains as a guarantee that the truth will never be revealed
Columbo was Portuguese and gave the name to Cuba and other islands, with the same names as the Portuguese lands around the city of Cuba - Alentejo Portugal where he was born
Columbo was a Portuguese spy in the service of the Portuguese Crown who had the role of keeping the Spanish crown away from the sea routes to India and deceived the Spanish crown by indicating that he had discovered the Indies while in Cuba
Then came the Treaty of Tordesillas to remove the Spanish crown from the Indies once and for all.
I wouldn't be so proud to claim him. Yes, he might have been a good navigator and sailor but probably a terrible human being.
I can't understand how the natives could agree on becoming Christians and why they continue being catolics after all that had been done to them by the catolics. In my view it is an appalling case of Stockholm syndrom. They have been living in trauma since.

That is also incorrect because Brasil is also in South America. Latin is more correct than Hispanic/Spanish
Mesoamerica then Latin America
but the Portuguese started colonizing Brazil around the same time Spain was colonizing Mexico & Central America, yet the Portuguese aren't Hispanic, but they are Latin. so technically, Latin America is not the incorrect term
Portugal had its glory days. Now, they need to focus on the future instead of the past.
Portuguese focus too much on the past.
Portugal was too much focused on India. After 30 years, when French tried to invade Brazil, they decided to colonize the country.
Sorry....! Vast horisontal surface of earth caused of huge ball (globe). Think ..if earth huge cube..
Flat.= vast H surface
can i get a hello
Yes
Slavs is the name of à migratory population and they were not slaves … big difference and mistake … I remember doing this confusion when I was 12 yo
It's not Mesoamerica. It's Middle America or Central America. We don't use Anglo terms invented in the 20th century to describe our lands.
Its Mesoamerica then Latin America its about time periods not Anglicism take that chip off your shoulder amigo
Middle America is not the same thing as Central America AT ALL.
I think Americans and people in general need to quit referring to Native Americans as "Indians" as we all know they were mistaken for the people of the country India. Obviously Columbus wasnt the the brightest person.
Indians call themselvs that little miss smug.
'promosm' 😱
......vast, large horisontal surface = flat....
I’d prefer a human narrator… or at least more humany AI lol
Furthermore: nothing to explain about the horrible French rule in Haiti??? Oh, no: the Spaniards were greedy and ruthless, but the French and the English they just grow plants to produce sugar ... 🤔🙄🙄🙄
Gimme a break, by the time of Columbus smart people knew the earth was not flat. Hahahaha. Everyone knew that, and the appropriate diameter of the earth. For thousands of years before Columbus
Who is everyone and when where did he/she live. There are still people to this day that a flat earth is their reality. Science is in constant flux and the latest thinking is the world that we see and understand is a very small piece of what is actually there. For sure we have to go on what we know, but it may not be wise to take it for reality
I thought the Greeks knew the diameter of earth.
@@dallasgreen378 Yes, pretty much everyone knew these things. The garbage we were told in grammar school is just that, garbage.
@@barryobrien1890 Everyone knew that the earth was round , like the moon and the Sun and planets. It's a very simple calculation to determine the earths diameter. People were a lot smarter than you may believe.
@@kennypool according to our teachers in K-12, you would think the world was primitive before Columbus.
Dr. Roy casagranda here on TH-cam has great lectures on the conquering/rape of the Americas by the Spain.
America wasn't raped by the Spanish. There are over 100 million Native Americans in America. There are over 350 million Mestizos people of mixed European and American blood. That's the Spanish legacy. What the English legacy of rape and genocide? Yeah in the US and Canada there are just 3 million Native Americans out of close to 400 million people. Big difference. You need to learn history. Spain before there was even the first English dictionary had already published full dictionaries in THREE American languages. The English exterminated the American natives and the US who followed outlawed the survivors to speak their American languages. Learn history before you talk.
I've posted a video abt how mughals entered indian subcontinent"""
The Carthagenians were in South America in the year 0. The Romans were committing genacide so the Carthaginians escaped to Cha Cha Poya in Peru. Their descendants today have Red and Blonde hair. Their DNA is the same as Carthage.
The natives who received Columbus presended him with gold spears. The gold was from North Africa.
That's not true. DNA has shown it's Iberian blood. The Spanish were blonde, red haired with blue or light eyes.
Let me guess a we wuz kangs guy
@@rafaslb501 Cartgaginians are punic not African
@@JcoleMc yes they are but their culture was also influênced by their enviroment soo there was elements of african culture in the carthagian
But they werent black nor did they get to peru like the crazy guy up

The age of fake discovery! 😂😂😂😂
*age of colonialism
Colonialism was the norm since forever.
What makes you think that?@@Tolstoy111
@@mrwater5772 conquest has always been the norm. Is that controversial?
There's conquest, and then there's genocide, imperialism, slavery and continental replacements. @@Tolstoy111
@@jasonhaven7170 which conquest would you say was not “imperialism”? Slavery was practiced everywhere including by the people who were conquered. Disease transmitted unintentionally is not genocide.
