Expansion and Consequences: Crash Course European History #5
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 พ.ค. 2019
- European exploration had a lot of side effects. When the Old World and the New World began to interact, people, wealth, food, animals, and disease began to flow in both directions. In the New World, countless millions were killed by smallpox, measles, and other Old World diseases. Old World animals changed life in the New World irrevocably, and the extraction of wealth and resources from the Americas ultimately contributed to the development of the Atlantic Slave Trade. So, it was an exchange with a lot of downside, especially for non-Europeans.

‘we are the products of history but we are also producing history. ‘ A sentence that uncover the essence of why we learn history.
i miss the high energy old crash course videos, but this has its own vibe

You might like to know that John Cabot and Cristopher Columbus real names were Giovanni Caboto and Cristoforo Colombo. Still a lot of italian explorer got translated in this period
Lisa Dixon one could also argue then that he should be called nikolaus kopernikus, given his German parentage and first language
Usually it depends by how a name is easy to pronounce. For very hard names it can be understandable why some sources tried to change them. Still it should remain a higly peculiar name so to avoid horrors like this one:
"Cristóbal Colón was spanish because he had a spanish name" (which is wrong i am using it as an example)
@@stardust86x Yea i know. It was an example of the errors people make after localizing names in their own country. I heard thar error sometimes and i hated it
I was just going to say this! Quite a disappointing joke?
"The English were much kinder rulers"
*Stares in Irish*
*stares in Indian (from India)*
Stares in Scottish
The Scottish were colonisers alongside England... I don't get it.
@@pickledirick8338 the Scottish haven't been an independent nation since the early 1700s. They've been colonized by, and subjected to, English rule for much of their history.
@@jenisedai Scotland has been colonised? Hahahahaha someone doesn't know what the Act of Union of 1707 actually is.
Scotland has been subjected to English rule? You don't have a clue.
You could make an argument for the whole of the UK being under London's rule, but not England's. Trust me, I live in England.
The new episodes are really getting better as they are going along. I think what was missing for me at first was the fact John wasn't talking to Stan. I don't miss "Me from the Past".
I miss him.

Little known fact is that Spain as a kingdom (not to say its population) didn't actually profit that much from the conquest: its ruling dynasty (the Habsburgs) squandered almost all of it in an absurdly outdated, expensive and imperialist foreign policy and armies (mostly warring Protestant countries to defend/recover lands for Catholicism); the gold and silver created massive inflation and a low stimulus towards the development of trade and manufacture, the basis of any prosperous modern economy. It ended up being a curse in disguise.
The curse wasn't in disguise for most people
I think they covered that part of it years ago on World History. We might get more on the subject when we hear about the wars of religion
But Flanders prospered.
Thats what economists call the Dutch disease
@How bout' you chill If only... Ruling a poorer and underdeveloped country didn't fare all that well in the long run for their own ambitions either.
"What people thought was one world turned out to be two." Meanwhile Australia goes to cry in a corner feeling forgotten.
I suspect we will be dragged, kicking and screaming, into this festering mess...
So is Australia the third world
I figured Australia was too busy fighting for survival against virtually everything that lives there to feel forgotten.
It was a joke we all know that and I know it coz I live in Australian

there WERE jack o lantern's in pre-Columbian Europe. They were made from TURNIPS
Yeah, that bugged me too. Also: horses evolved in North America, crossed the Bering Strait into Eurasia, and then went extinct in NA ca. 8000 BC due to climate change and human hunting. When Europeans brought them over, it was not their first time in the Americas!
I made a turnip jack o lantern as a school project when I was little. Turnips sucks. Pumpkins are much easier to work with.
was about to post the same! However, turnip is uch harder to cut, so the end product ends up way more creepy ^^
In Flanders, (sugar) beets were/are used for the same purpose.
@@akhragee wait what
Great approach to La Virgen de Guadalupe!! Como mexicana, me agradó mucho.
As someone from Vietnam, once a colony of France, I also grew up hearing that it was a shame that we were colonized by France and not England, as English colonization is good for the colony's economy and they treated the citizen better. It was passing remarks by my mother, but I nevertheless thought it was true until this very day.
Hard to say really.
Treatment for the natives would probably be no better under any colonial ruler though it's hard for me to really back this up, there's a world of difference between a Spanish colony in Mexico in the 1500s and a colony under British rule in the 1700s.
That said, the Monarchy in the 1900s under Queen Elizabeth was pretty instrumental in granting freedom to previous colonies and the decolonisation period. Which may have prevented a potential war in a country like Vietnam.
Although I think that was embroiled in the capitalism/communism series of proxy wars around the world so it's possible that conflict was inevitible no matter who ruled it.
I haven't studied this subject much so you'd be better off reading some wikipedia really. :/
I'm a massive fan of crash course thanks to John Green and I just googled him to tell my fellow indy native how grateful I am. Turns out this guy wrote "Looking for Alaska" and "The Fault in Our Stars"!!! Very cool credentials but Crash Course is by far my favorite work of his. Thanks for all you do, John. I've learned so much!
CrashCourse is amazing. I’m loving these new European history videos. I am glad that they dialed back on the speed of which John speaks for these videos. It makes comprehension far easier and gives the viewer time to digest the information.
I would love another world history series or US History series at which John slows down a bit and gives more information.
This is my favorite video series on TH-cam right now. Muchos gracias, John Green and CC.
8:00 name translations were common back them. John Cabot (Giovanni Caboto) and Christopher Colombus (Cristoforo Colombo) were their names in Italian. We don't translate names anymore, João Verde.
Thank you for these videos. I decided to bring to my class more history facts to then talk about racism, injustice and inequity and I am finding your videos so helpful!
I like how john speaks in these episodes, it’s calming and easier to process
Thank you thank you thank you thank you John!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS video literally perfectly tied in the rest of your crash course world history videos!!!!!!!! Thank you!! Again.. :P also: never give up on what you’re doing. You are a genuine role model for me, and I’m a serious sceptic of everything, and look to educationally literate fact based information to turn to, for both escapism and education, with great success’s from your teachings. So thank you.
Fun fact : the oldest still existing city in continental USA is St. Augustine in Florida from 1565 but i guess most people dont know this because it is founded by Spaniards and Africans rather by English people like Jamestown.
Africans had nothing to do with that city. It isn't well known because it is the earliest still existing town, not the earliest town.
the USA wasnt Spanish founded so why would we celebrate an enemies colony? we got it in 1823 a state in 1845 so no we dont really care its old and spanish....there isnt a ton to celebrate with the Spanish
we still hate Florida
@@beaudaniel1370"Why should we celebrate an enemies colony?" The Spanish had half of America's land, so I'd say America was partly Spanish founded.
@@francaellerman2276 we didn't fight Spain for independence dumb dumb stop playing mental gymnastics

**gasp** Magic!
No 1.5 to really get that authentic feel
Did the same thing before reading this comment it cheers me up
Evan S thanks
Beautifully done! Wonderful speech at the end about the impacts of history and it's results as we live them today. This is excellent material for filling knowledge gaps for teachers.
This is actually a lengthy episode! Learning so much more than I thought
I just love watching John talk. He's so cute. And what he says is so informative and thought provoking.
@Tathrennor
But it’s extremely bias and one sided
@@arberor4597 Biased toward whom?
@Jesse Newman
Towards European history
Thank you for you continued account of history. Some people like sports, some people like pop culture, but history is my euphoric experience.
I get so excited when I see that a new European history video is up, love your work!!
Your videos are blowing my mind. This information would take years to collect. Thanks a bunch Indiana.
Wooo! New crash course history courses! Been waiting for this for YEARS!
2:55 John is not just referring to all kinds of brazillian wood in general. He is referring to a very specific wood, called "Brazil Wood", which is where the country gets it's name from ! The wood was said to be "red as ember", so the portuguese called it Brasil (meaning "like ember").
Brasa = Ember
Brasil = Like Ember
Me: "Wait, another video without eastern Europe?"
John: "..colonialism, slave trade and exploitation of natives"
Me: "All yours, westeners"
Eastern Europeans aren't so innocent in this. The governments of USA and Canada needed to populate all the land they stole from the native people, so they invited tonnes of white Europeans from countries like Poland, Ukraine and Belarus to come and settle in those lands instead.
@@cometmoon4485 That's not even remotely the same.
@@dv4497
I never said it was the same, just that Eastern Europeans aren't so innocent in the colonisation and ethnocide of North America.
@@cometmoon4485 We cant fully blame the Europeans for the colonization, they were starving after the Otomans blocked the Asian trade routes, also they gave the native populations Bananas!
@@cometmoon4485 it wasnt that much of an invitation. Eastern europeans and europeans in general began massive migrations before and after the wars. It was mainly because of a low living standard, poverty and after ww2 political refugees escaping the fascists and communists. All my grandparents were refugees escaping the injustice in my country and believe me, they werent "invited" to live in a city across the atlantic
Finally adressing the Black legend for what it is!!! Very rare in an English spoken video. ..
The English could perpetuate that legend because they actually killed the indigenous people instead of just ruling over and "mix" with them. Dead men tell no tales, after all.
System BD well, that's a straight up lie. The English mixed with the native populations as much as any other, even having terms such as "country-born" to describe such things. You should be embarrassed that you made such an ignorant statement.
@@Pizza23333 that is untrue. The English colonists mixed much less than the Spanish did. While the Spanish preferred to rule over the natives, the English were more content in killing them off and ruling over their lands. The Spanish settlers and conquistadors often married into the existing social classes of the Native South and Central American society, evidenced by things such as the complex table of all the different races as a result of the intermixing, and the demographics of current Latin American states. Compare this to English North American colonies and you see that there is a much more homogeneous and predominantly "European" population as a result of little mixing.
@@ignacio1171 what an absurd statement. The British usually instituted a small ruling class of brits who then ruled the much larger population of natives. Out right extermination is a rarity even in colonial times.
Ignacio A Keeping in mind you are the second person who has asserted and failed to back up that the English killed rather than mingled, your attempt to justify this leads you to say things and assume they prove you true, without actually proving they are. Your assertion on the social classes in South and Central America is your big mistake. First, the population of those areas - with the existence of Empires such as the Inca and Aztec - meant the existence of several factors. One a significantly higher population than North America, by some estimates as much as 90% of the total population. You put forward this high number as proof of a greater desire for intermingling, but it isn't. When there is a significantly larger native population to begin with, they will have a much larger visible impact on society simply by presence. It does not, in and of itself, point to a greater desire to intermingle.
The second factor to use to justify is social class, which is another false equivalence. While the English - and later British - colonies had social class it wasn't nearly as rigid as those found in the Spanish colonies. Trying to point to a social structure that neither the English/British nor the Natives of those areas had as proof of greater intermingling is silly. It also ignores the nature of these societies - with the mainly oral-traditions of those Natives compared to the Inca and Aztec that had written records. Most people in the US and Canada are believed to have some trace of native ancestry- but many will simply identify as European because it is often a choice, rather than something enforced by society in which they live. It was also far more advantageous to identify as European in those places due to historical and modern racism, which also impact perceptions.
So that assertion of a preference for killing is simply a "black legend" of its own, and people perpetuating that myth should continue to be ashamed. Twisting factors to suit your argument is not how history is supposed to be studied.
John Green, if I passed my pre-law exam on July, just wanna let you know, you're one of the greatest teachers I have ever had
Another great episode! Hope you guys cover European exploits in South East Asia later on
every time I watch John, I learn something new ! thank u for making them !!!
im pretty sure they used turnips before pumpkins were brought over
"We are the *products* of *history* but of course we are also *producing history* ."

_One the best lines ever said_
That line its at his core Marxist xD
@@vicentefebrelorca8879 ... what?!?
The point about the Spanish really not having the experience necessary to rule such a vast empire was very interesting. It wasn't made any easier by the conquistadors being opportunist social climbers who would gladly fight each other for personal gain. Cortez was technically an outlaw when he conquered Mexico and Pizarro was murdered by his Spanish rivals.
Love this course so far! Xx.
Thank you very much for all these amazing videos.
What i have learnt from crash course is much more beneficial and confidential than what i learned from University. Because for me its all about enjoying study and feel pleased.
Hi John! Thank you for your perspective and hard work! ^.^
Thank you very much for the final thought at the end.
Thank you for the new video Mr. Green!
I would enjoy talking to John about his policy beliefs, something about studying past injustices and inequality really opens a person's eyes to flaws in how our society works today.
I'm so happy you're back
Wow.. Closing message super on-point for today's times. Amazing.
Thank you, Mr Green.
“I’ve always found it very funny that the two most famous Italian sailors in history are named John Cabot and Christopher Columbus.”
Only in the English-speaking world. In Spain and Latin America, for example, everyone knows “Christopher Columbus” as Cristobal Colon.

I had never heard of the "Black Legend" before, but it sounds quite similar to what I've often heard about the French colonization of North America. They say the reason why many tribes sided with France during the French and Indian War was because they treated them better than the other Europeans in the rest of the Americas, mainly trading with them and marrying into their tribes.
Yes, that is a standard belief taught in Canadian schools. It does seem to have 'some' truth to it but reality is probably "they weren't as terrible" as the English. The French would still do things like get native drunk/addicted to alcohol to secure lop-sided trade deals, and pitch tribes against tribes when it suited them. And the few larger colonies the French set up in Quebec did usually end up warring with the local natives at times. But most of the French presence were the voyageurs who were small scale traders so usually worked with the natives rather than in conflict with them.
The Black Legend is a very complex topic and a very effective political tool, every empire has its own, and the Spanish is longer than John has explained
1. Started by Italians, when Aragon ruled the south of Italy, who said that Spaniards were bad christians becuse they had bad blood (mixed with the jews and the arabs), that was very offensive back then.
2. Something later used by Germans and Dutsch during the protestant reformation (Marthin Luther was a big antisemite, which included the Spaniards) which deemed the Spaniards as barabaric, blood and gold thristy, as opposed to the good noble protestants.
3. The black legend was later used by France after its revolution, to say that Spain was dark and medieval country were sciency and culture was inexistent and to justify its invasion and occupation (simlar things where said about Russians for the same reason), as opposed to the ilustrated France. Also spain was doomed as intolerant because it had spell the jews and the moors after 1492, and all the scientist and wise had left Spain, because of its intolerant catholic view.
4. This was also used then, and a rewrite of the histroy of the Conquest was made to justify the Independence of the Spanish territories there.
5. Finally in the US, hiponofobia and straight made up black legends were made during late XIXth century to justify the Spanish-American war over Cuba and to justify also US expansion
It's kinda complicated. But my understanding is the Spanish black legend lasted the longest because they were the biggest power in Europe for a long time, or certainly after their colonisation of the Americas brought a lot of wealth.
There are black legends for most countries depending on who was at war with who.
@@agilemind6241 I learned that idea growing up in southern Indiana too. There was a heavy French presence in this area.
@@albertolopezrolo6899 You're absolutely right. "Fake news" is not something new at all and it all has to do with envy.
It would have been interesting if you had also talked about the colonies of France and Holland, not just Spanish and English ones.
Well those don't relate as much to the USA.
@@sittingonceilings6805 Well New France once extended all the way to nowadays Louisiana, and Mannathan started as a Dutch colony, so it does kinda relate. In any case, it's not like only people from the USA watch Crash Course.
@@jp15151 give it time, i'm sure they will focus on other things too. That said, it will be centered around the Americas no doubt.
jp15151 Netherlands not Holland. Holland is a district in The Netherlands. Plus historians would see Dutch rather than Netherlands nor Holland
@@sittingonceilings6805 isnt this series about Europe?
l love the longer episodes. keep em coming stan (and john)
15:23 I think one interesting thing is that still, child mortality globally is 49% caused by starvation and malnutrition. We produce food for more than 3 billion more people than there are and yet hundreds of millions die from starvation and malnutrition.
Argacyan We as a species united produce the calories such that nobody has to ever starve or be malnurished. But our economic and political systems make it so that is not true.
If you mean that the systematic paradigms of capitalism and corporate neoimperialism, facilitated by global eradication of any threads to the syphoning of goods and wealth away from where they're needed, make it so the fact of overproduction and undersupply remains until total collapse such that the bare life, liberty and pursuit of happiness of everyone is weighted less than endless profit for the few then yes. Absolutely. Our political systems and economics make it so that market failure endures.
Thank you so much for this incredible knowledge! Blessings!
Castile a very poor kingdom?!
By what standars Mr Green ?
If we compare it with the Ming China yes, if we compare Castile with the other European kingdoms no. It was arguabily one of the strongest and most prosperous kingdoms since the 13th century; and if we add Aragon and it's mediterranean posesions to the mix we have the European superpower that was the new Kingdom of Spain, only challenged by France and the Ottoman Empire.
You know Anglo-Saxons being Anglo-Saxons, always attributing Spain status as superpower only to the wealth from America
Depends on how you measure wealth. Castille had a lot of money at the beginning of the age of exploration but this wealth was largely as a result of gains from the reconquista. In terms of Castilles actual production and trade it was poor for its size. Isabella II largely funded Columbus with money siezed from expelling the jews from Castille after taking Granada.
@@404Dannyboy yes, but Spanish, both Castilian and Aragones, weren't that many. Spain was huge, yes, but it didn't have a big enough population
@Amon Ra it's not only that, but in all Anglo-Saxon records, be English, Australian, or American it is always discrediting Spain
@@leonzoful That is part of why it was more poor than larger kingdoms. Less people = less farmers and craftsmen and traders = less money.
For anyone out there wanting to learn more on Barolome De Las Casas, I recommend reading the valladolid controversy.

Actually in italian their names were known as "Giovanni Caboto" and "Cristoforo Colombo". For the English language it was easier to just translate and pronounce their names to *John Cabot* and *Christopher Columbus.*
8:05 What about my boy Amerigo Vespucci. He literally has TWO continents named after him.
incorrect. since places that are named after people traditionally use their last names, vespucci couldn't have had the americas named after him, it was most likely another explorer, richard ameryk
Love these they are saving my life

Thank you for the video !
Thanks Crash Course for presenting a more nuanced history than what was taught to me in school - I appreciate that you actually point out Game of Thrones style - there were huge consequences for us in Latin Americas, Asia and Africas. I am Indian and most of my family died due to starvation imposed by the British.

No the positives the British bought outweighs the negative
Best channel
Thank you so much that it is free
To answer the question that you made in the start of the video (0:43) well here in Peru the spanish conquest made changes that still resonate today.That spanish conquest has made that geographically Lima become a crowed city and generate the diference between the two big regions, the coast and peruvian highlands, are two separete worlds. Great video.
What was it prior?
@@godofthisshitWell the Inca Empire, one of the greatest empire in South America
Giovanni Caboto landed on the island of Newfoundland where St. John's is today, but the Norse had found it first on the Northern Peninsula and called it Vinland! Not to mention the native Beothuk peoples that were brutally murdered thereafter... rough stuff
Woooot John is back!!!
I am enjoying this series, as I have for pretty much all of your other Crash Course content and I even contribute on Patreon. That said, I am a little surprised that the French colonies in North America were not mentioned. Right as you spoke about the founding of Jamestown, I thought that Quebec would be mentioned in the next sentence, but it wasn't. France's omission from this episode really implies that their contribution to the North American history was negligible and that France's colonies were irrelevant to the course of European history, neither of which is the case. I know it it hard to tell a story as complex as this in less than 17 mins, but I think at least mentioning the other important players would have made it more well rounded. Still loving your videos and I look forward to the next one.
There's a lot of politics missing from the European nations at the time as well.
It's easy to see though, it's rushing over a few hundred years of history so a lot is going to get missed out.
Things like the panama canal or the Darian scheme could take up an episode by themselves.
awesome last 2 sentences...
8:05 You mean Giovanni Caboto and Cristoforo Colombo! (=
I'm Italian :P
We also have brown Jesus in Escipulas in Guatemala. Supposedly the Spanish had a white Jesus in the beginning and then one day when the priest of the church came back he found it to be brown and declared it a miracle.
Sometimes you have to take what miracles you can get.
@@Madhattersinjeans hahahaha
Before John gets too many people hyped on de las Casas: he didn't want to abolish forced labor all together, he just wanted to replace the natives with African Slaves, who he thought were totally okay to use in this manner.
He's still a significant historical figure that I've never heard of, but yes, throwing that in would be helpful perspective.
Yea! Thanks for the shout out to Our Lady of Guadalupe! My absolute favorite image of Mary as well as Marian apparition.
You said that it was weird that the two Italian was explorers had funny sounding english names. Thats because their original names was Christoforo Colombo and Giovanni Caboto and was anglicised by english speakers
In Canada, Giovanni Caboto is also frenchised (?) as "Jean Cabot" (with a silent "t") just to make everything even more confusing.
Jack-o'-lanterns were historically carved from turnips in Ireland so the lack of pumpkins is not the reason for lack of jack. However the practice started in the 19th century. Originally the term jack-o'-lantern referred to the light flickering phenomenon over peat bogs also known as will-o'-the-wisp
It would be AMAZING if you would do a music history series!
Ahhh should have uploaded it yesterday
Wrote my history exam on colonialism and its consequences on friday
I think this is a great episode, but you did forget to say the VERY IMPORTANT 2ND PART OF LAS CASAS' STORY. He turned people away from using local slave labour, and attempted to instead tell people to use the trans-atlantic slave trade, to use black slaves instead. He was a progenitor of human rights, but he was also vile and heinous, and forgetting that part is cruel to the blacks he demanded be used in slave roles.
John, this is not a book. You're not supposed to make me cry at the end
finally! content that doesnt make me lose brain cells!!!
As Latin American is very hard to remember this stories, but I appreciate the respectful manner He tells them. And as said in the previous video: history is about shifting perspectives.
John Cabot was the second European to discover Newfoundland after the Vikings. Helps to be the most Eastern point in North America.
no, search for João Vaz Corte-Real, he went to america in 1472 in a lot of secrecy
Beautiful piece, even for your standards. Respect.
Very interesting!
I can't wait for Crash Course's "History of History"
The name Christopher Columbus is the Anglicisation of the Latin Christophorus Columbus. His name in Ligurian is Cristoffa Corombo, in Italian Cristoforo Colombo, in Spanish Cristóbal Colón, and in Portuguese, Cristóvão Colombo. (Wiki)
Did the influx of silver and gold cause high inflation in Europe?
Oh yes, it did
To a degree that Spain, even after shipping a large chunk of the American silver off to China, defaulted 9 times between 15576 and 1666
omg spoilers
Inflation ended up being the decline of the Spanish Empire, not to mention they were over extended and couldn't administrate their colonies very well.
It did, in fact, the inflation forced them to look for other kind of goods to sell and began the Botanic Expeditions.
Cool video!
To just imagine how many of those treasure ships rest on the ocean floor and are still waiting to be rediscovered. That gold will pretty much look the same as the day it left the Lima mints.
Wasn't Bartolomé De Las Casas a supporter of the use of african slaves in the American continent? Sure he changed his mind after but maybe it should be told to show the full picture
I always got the sense from his writing (although racism of the translators may play a role here) that he had an idealized view of the "nobility" of Native Americans and an extremely negative view of the same when it came to Africans. He did suggest kidnapping and "importing" African slaves so that Native American laborers could be freed from what was essentially serfdom.
He saw his mistake and wanted to do something about it.
No, I've read part of his work, he wasn't against slavery per se (at least in the beggining) but he thought Indian slavery was against the faith/unjust, and he (in his on words so take with a grain of salt) was in favour of it because he thought it would free up the indians
