To all those people who think Spain and Portugal never really ruled the world, well, Portugal had a line of commercial posts from Japan to Europe and monopolized global trade for 100 years. While Spain remain the biggest Europeas power from 1497 to 1701 with the War of Spanosh Succesion. Spain and Portugal were conquering the world when France couldn't even conquer Bratain (the small one) and English couldn't handle the Scottish.

They knew there was land. It was improbable that there was not. They did not realize it was a whole continent though. Early explorers began to think all the lands between Asia and Europe where archipelagos of islands like in the Caribbean. The idea quickly faded out as they searched for a route directly to Asia, but was prevalent around the time of the agreement.
They thought Brazil was an island in the first explorations. Unlikely they actually knew the continent went that far, but knew there must be some land there.
I read a book that claims Portugal discovered the Americas before Columbus but kept it secret. It is possible a stray Portuguese vessel came upon some land in the Americas before Columbus. However, the author overreaches and argues they explored the west coast of the Americas in the late 15th to early 16th century, which strikes me as very implausible.
The United States has 54 bases in the world. In the 16th-17th centuries, the Spanish were in 64 countries on the five continents (95 with the annexation of the Portuguese Empire for 60 years). The Portuguese had bases in 35 countries. The Portuguese empire was larger than the United States. The Spanish empire was bigger than Russia, and bigger than the United States and Canada combined. SPANISH EMPIRE -King Carlos I of Spain: he becomes Emperor of Germany-Austria, who rules from Spain. -King Philip II of Spain: He becomes King of England, King of Portugal, King of half Italy, King of Belgium, King of Holland, King of Luxembourg, and King of parts of France and Germany. Neither the United States nor the Soviet Union had power or territories in those Western European countries. Neither does the British Empire. They only briefly occupied a few countries, in WW1 and WW2. Eastern Europe (Soviet Union). Spain spent 454 years in Italy, 200 years in Belgium and Luxembourg, 80 years in the Netherlands, 162 years in parts of France and Germany, 60 years in Portugal. Spain discovered America in 1492. In 1521 we began the exploration of the Pacific Ocean, with the discovery of the Philippines, Tahiti, Vanuatu, Guam, the Carolinas, the Marquesas and many other archipelagos. There is a Spanish map of Hawaii from the 16th century, and a Spanish helmet in New Zealand: 16th century. Gabriel de Castilla saw Antarctica in 1603. Orellana explored the Amazon in 1540. Francisco Vázquez de Coronado saw the Grand Canyon of the Colorado and the great plains of the present United States in 1541. Juan de Fuca saw Vancouver (San Miguel) in 1592. Others Spanish explorers reached Borneo, Papua New Guinea, Taiwan, Brunei, Cambodia (Angkorg's first European discovery). All those territories were declared part of the Spanish empire. Spanish diplomats and missionaries discovered Pompeii and Herculaneum, Persepolis and the Sources of the White Nile. The Spanish empire was present in the 35 countries of America. In 1790 65% of the territory of the United States belonged to Spain. From Florida, to Alaska, the entire southern and western coast of the United States and Canada. The Pacific Ocean was known for 300 years as a Spanish lake. At that time the Spanish empire was twice the size of the United States. The Spanish army also occupied places in Montenegro, Morocco, Libya, Equatorial Guinea, Sahara, Algeria, Tunisia, Vietnam, Malta, Andorra, Monaco, the Vatican ... PORTUGUESE EMPIRE (ANNEXED BY SPAIN BETWEEN 1580-1640) The Portuguese had bases and territories in more than 35 countries: Brazil, Barbados, Uruguay, Guyana, Canada, Bahrain, India, Iran, Diego García (USA), Bangladesh, Angola, Mauritania, Benin, Congo, Cape Verde, Guinea Bissau, Sao Tome and Principe, Mozambique, Tanzania, Kenya, Somalia, Senegal, Ethiopia, Equatorial Guinea, Ghana, China, Timor, Indonesia, Maldives, SRLanka, Japan, Oman, Yemen, Singapore, Australia? Spain and Portugal divided the world for 200 years.
@@xavierrealmadrid7420 Era una alianza. No hay que olvidar que España era la mayor defensora del catolicismo en Europa. Las victorias militares e inversiones españolas en el mundo, han dado más de 800 millones de católicos actuales. 200 millones en Europa central (sólo hay que ver el mapa de Europa religioso, y como se corresponde con los lugares donde estuvo el imperio español 200 años: intervención en las guerras religiosas de Francia invadiendo París, intervención en Bélgica y Luxumburgo, intervención en Alemania del sur y Palatinado, intervención contra los turcos fortaleciendo todo el sur de Italia, apoyo a Irlanda...) Nosotros salvamos la religión católica, y la difundimos con nuestra hispanización-romanización: 500 millones de católicos en América (pues salvamos también a Brasil de la invasión holandesa) y 100 millones en Filipinas, 7000 islas.
Both Portugal and Spain were the first GLOBAL powers of the Modern Era! Portugal, for example, was the first Thalassocratic Colonial power of the Modern Era! The apogee of Portugal (whether militarily, economically or politically), in MY historical analysis, took place during the rule of the House of Avis, more precisely during the reigns of John I (1385-1433), Duarte I (1433-1438), Afonso V (1438-1481), John II (1481-1495), Manuel I (1495-1521) and John III (1521-1557). Throughout this period, Portugal had a powerful Thalassocratic Empire that spread across all continents! The Portuguese, for example, were the first European people to arrive in Japan. The year of 1492, in MY historical analysis, was undoubtedly the most important and glorious year of the entire Spanish history due to three main reasons: • 1) 1492 marked the definitive end of the Emirate of Granada as a political organization (which was the last Muslim stronghold in Spain).1492, therefore, represented the final Christian victory of the Spanish Reconquista. • 2) 1492 marked the beginning of the establishment of the Spanish Colonial Empire (PLVS VLTRA). Following the arrival of Columbus in the Americas (1492), under the patronage of the Catholic Kings (Los Reyes Católicos), Spain founded its Colonial Thalassocratic Empire, which was the very first GLOBAL empire of modern history (alongside with Portugal). At its height, more precisely during the reigns of Charles I (1516-1556) and Philip II (1556-1598), the Spanish Empire extended from the Americas to the Philippines, including the Caribbean! • 3) In 1492, the Spanish Pope Alexander VI was elected (Rodrigo Borgia), which increased the Spanish influence in Italy. 1492, therefore, was the Spanish "Annus Mirabilis" (wonderful year). The pioneer of the Great Navigations, however, was the small (but important) Kingdom of Portugal. Portugal, in my historical analysis, became the pioneer of the Great Navigations due to four main reasons: • 1) The rise of the House of Avis (the most glorious Portuguese dynasty). The Portuguese victory at the decisive Battle of Aljubarrota (1385), for example, not only definitively consolidated Portugal as an independent kingdom in Europe (under the leadership of king John I), but it also ushered an era of unprecedented expansions. As I mentioned before, the reigns of John I, Duarte I, Afonso V, John II (the Portuguese king during the Treaty of Tordesilhas), Manuel I and John III, in my historical analysis, represented the golden age of LUSITANIA and its people. Throughout this historical period, the Portuguese, in my own words, became the "Phoenicians" of the Modern Era! • 2) The Fall of Constantinople (1453). The Fall of Constantinople further stimulated the Portuguese expansion (which began in 1415 with the Portuguese conquest of Ceuta). The Ottoman control of the Black Sea and the Venetian monopoly in the Mediterranean, therefore, further boosted the Portuguese search for an alternative route. After the Fall of Constantinople, Lisbon became the destination of cartographers, astronomers and navigators from all over Europe, including Columbus himself! Moreover, after the arrival of Vasco da Gama in India (1498), Portugal became the main supplier of eastern products to Europe. By the end of the 15th century, Portugal had a Thalassocratic Empire that would make the Phoenicians cry with envy. • 3) Portugal's clear geographical advantage. • 4) Portugal became the first European country to constitute a modern Nation-State. After the conclusion of the Portuguese Reconquista in 1249 (when king Afonso III conquered Faro), Portugal turned its attention to its internal development. During the reign of Dinis I (1279-1325), Portugal was already a highly centralized and bureaucratic State.
Very true, I subscribe to everything that Portugal, our brother country, did. And we must not forget that Spain had an imperial hegemony in Europe for more than 150 years. We had a "NATO" in Italy (Battle of Lepanto), which we filled with universities, baroque cities, fortresses and palaces, like the one in Caserta, in Versailles style. ¡And Pompeya and Herculano! The Spanish King Carlos I, also became Emperor of Germany. Philip II became king of England and Ireland. We had the Netherlands, where we were for 200 years, and the best army in the world. Almost all the capitals of Western Europe were invaded several times: Rome, Paris, Amsterdam, Cologne, Brussels, Lisbon ... We won 9 wars against France, and captured the French king. And the Spanish influence in Asia and Oceania, which revolutionized the Asian market. We were in the Philippines, in Taiwan (China), Borneo, Papua and New Guinea, the Pacific archipelagos, Cambodia. The Spanish currency (8 or Spanish dollar real) was the most important for 300 years, mother of the currencies of the United States, China, Japan, Hong-Kong, the Philippines and 30 other countries. Or the Spanish political and civilizing contributions: the first parliament of Europe (León 1118), liberalism (ideas of Francisco Suárez, 16th century), the current calendar (Salamanca school), the first patented steam engines for industrial use ( Ayanz, 16th century), the first international human rights (Laws of Burgos 1512 and New Laws 1542), the golden age of culture (which filled Europe and the world with classics of literature, such as Don Quixote, the best work of fiction of history, Spanish theater, and geniuses of painting such as Velázquez, or of music, such as Tomás Luis de Victoria. We participated in the Renaissance. We made the first naturalistic expeditions, and even ideas about gravity that influenced Galileo and Newton. Not to mention the discovery of three continents: America (the greatest event in history), Oceania and Antarctica. Or the first round the world (Magellan wanted to go to Asia, and Elcano went around the world). The Spanish naval fleet, which destroyed English, French, Turkish, Dutch and German fleets of 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 100 and 200 ships. And above all the hispanization of America: 2000 cities of stone, dozens of universities, fortresses, cathedrals, thousands of nursery schools and hospitals, a mixture of races, a religion of peace and a common language. Spanish military and political victories, and Spanish investment in the world has given 800 million Catholics (200 million in Europe and 100 million in Asia) and the second mother tongue in the world, and the first in the West.
It is worth mentioning that Spain also had great navigators in addition to Colon who achieved great voyages (such as Magellan and Elcano, the latter was also the first man to go around the world) in addition to a very important battle of the 16th century for Spain, the Battle of Alcántara, battle which caused Portugal to be occupied by Spain and because of that they had to accept the claim of Felipe II as king of Spain (I would also mention the battle of Terceira Island, which prevented Crato from giving Brazil to France ), certainly both countries achieved great achievements in the 15th and 16th centuries (and also in the 17th and 18th centuries, although they were not as impressive as the previous ones, since they had already set the bar very high.)
Portugal global? It's missing out most of the Pacific which alone is like a third of the earth's surface. When you miss a third of a pizza, you don't say you got the whole pizza. But the sun never set on the Spanish Empire during the Iberian Union when Portugal was taken by force thanks to Moors doing the taking-out-the-king-and-nobles job.

Spain and Portugal were having difficulties to make trade with Asia because of the Ottoman Empire and its satellite states, that's why they were exploring new routes in the west
Exactly. Colombus' attempt was to reach India by just going totally westward, unfortunaly it didn't work because he stubbled upon this little thing called America in the way (even though he never knew it and it wasn't really unfortunate in the end) and Portugal tried another route: sailing around Africa, and succeeded in doing so. They then managed to strip the Ottomans of their dominance of the Indian Ocean with the Battle of Diu.
@@JA-yk7wv true, Venice's position middle man was already under threat as the Ottomans snagged up territories but Portugal's all-sea route was the final nail in the coffin.
Spain explored the west, and Portugal followed the trailblazers in the Far West. Portugal played it safe keeping mostly to the coasts having to hold mother earth's hand. :-) The liars will tell you Portugal got to America first but Columbus got to Venezuela before they got to Brazil. They were scrambling to get something before it was all taken by Spain. In the Iberian Union period, it WAS all taken by Spain. Watch the liars get mad:
Spanish Empire: 1503, Native Americans allowed to travel to peninsular Spain only on their own free will. December 1511, the annual Christmas sermon takes place. Among the participants are Antonio de Montesinos and Bartolomé de las Casas, two missionary monks in the Indies, who played an important role in the fight against the abuse of Native Americans by the conquistadores. December 1512, the Leyes de Burgos are signed by Fernando the II of Aragón. They are considered the predecessor to Human Rights. However, these laws were not applied efficiently. 1528, Charles the I of Spain and V of Germany forbids the transportation of Native Americans to Europe, even on their own will, in an effort to curtail their enslavement. Encomiendas are banned from collecting tribute in gold with the reasoning that Natives were selling their children to get it. 1530, outright slavery of Native Americans under any circumstance is banned. However, forced labor under the encomienda continues. 1542, the Leyes Nuevas ban slave raiding in the Americas and abolish the slavery of Natives. 1549, the encomiendas are banned. 1687, fugitive slaves from the British Thirteen Colonies are granted freedom in return for conversion to Catholicism and four years of military service in the Spanish Florida.
@@madrexertheboredtm7728 At least the Americans did not murder the mestizos (Spanish + Filipinos) as the Japanese did during WWII. Specifically during the Massacre of Manila.
Spanish Manila and Philippines was seen in the 19th century as a model of colonial governance that effectively put the interests of the original inhabitants of the islands before those of the colonial power. As John Crawfurd put it in its History of the Indian Archipelago, in all of Asia the "Philippines alone did improve in civilization, wealth, and populousness under the colonial rule" of a foreign power. John Bowring, Governor General of British Hong Kong from 1856 to 1860, wrote after his trip to Manila: "Credit is certainly due to Spain for having bettered the condition of a people who, though comparatively highly civilized, yet being continually distracted by petty wars, had sunk into a disordered and uncultivated state. The inhabitants of these beautiful Islands upon the whole, may well be considered to have lived as comfortably during the last hundred years, protected from all external enemies and governed by mild laws vis-a-vis those from any other tropical country under native or European sway, owing in some measure, to the frequently discussed peculiar (Spanish) circumstances which protect the interests of the natives." In The Inhabitants of the Philippines, Frederick Henry Sawyer wrote: "Until an inept bureaucracy was substituted for the old paternal rule, and the revenue quadrupled by increased taxation, the Filipinos were as happy a community as could be found in any colony. The population greatly multiplied; they lived in competence, if not in affluence; cultivation was extended, and the exports steadily increased. [...] Let us be just; what British, French, or Dutch colony, populated by natives can compare with the Philippines as they were until what 1895?." Asia's oldest and continue modern learning institution was University of Santo Tomas (Dominican, OP), est. 1611. Universidad De San Ignacio (Jesuit, now defunct when Pope suspended Jesuits for brief period of time) est. 1601. University of San Carlos, est. 1595. The Augustinians opened a parochial school in Cebu in 1565. The Franciscans, took to the task of improving literacy in 1577, aside from the teaching of new industrial and agricultural techniques. The Jesuits followed in 1581, as well as the Dominicans in 1587, setting up a school around archipelago. The church and the school cooperated to ensure that Christian villages had schools for students to attend. Schools for boys and for girls were then opened. Colegios were opened for boys, ostensibly the equivalent to present day senior high schools. The Universidad de San Ignacio, founded in Manila by the Jesuits in 1589 was the first colegio. Eventually, it was incorporated into the University of Santo Tomas, College of Medicine and Pharmacology following the suppression of the Jesuits. Girls had two types of schools - the beaterio, a school meant to prepare them for the convent, and another, meant to prepare them for secular womanhood. The Spaniards are the ones who taught the Filipinos to worship the True God (Biblical God). *Jesus was Asian* Christianity made the Filipinos to abandon pagan ways, polygamy, war freak attitude, infanticide and learn temperance, monogamy, resilience and more refined characteristics based from the teachings of Catholic Christianity. Spaniards defeated and ends the warring Hindu, Buddhist, Animist and Islamic chiefdoms in the archipelago and unite it into a single governing entity as Spanish East Indies under Spanish Crown. The Spaniards are the ones who taught the Filipinos to eat sardines, made and eat pandesal bread during breakfast, drink coffee and chocolate, to wear modest dress because ancient Filipinos were almost half naked and to watch stage plays. Spanish regime had brought slavery and rape of the Philippine resources, but in fairness it brought and taught more civilized way of life to the Filipino people. #HistoryofFilipinas Asians by Blood, Spanish in Culture, Catholic by Religion.
Forts were the standard for Portugal, it was also the backbone for colonization in Brazil. Almost all coastal Brazilian city traces its history to the construction of a Portuguese fort.

Portugual continued the obsession that Asia was closest to bordering Africa, reaching India in 1498 and Brazil in 1500.

Both countries competed and fought each other in the colonization era, and they also defeated the garbage ottoman empire in specific naval battles. Such as Battle of Gulf Oman 1554 (decisive Portuguese victory, ottomans lost all their ships, ottoman admiral fleed like a chicken :) and Battle of Cape Corvo 1613 (It was a crushing Spanish victory, a vast amount of ottomans taken prisoner by Spanish) These two kingdoms came out from the Iberian Peninsula, spread all over the world, and became a global empire.
I still believe Portugal already knew about Brazil (or at least suspected about its existence) from its first expedition to India. Why would the Portuguese king demand a change in the Atlantic line? This change meant nothing to the Caribbean islands desired by the Spanish. Maybe history yet has something to reveal us
That's actually kinda true, I mean, they weren't sure, but Portugal assumed that if there was some land there, there must be more, a belief that was enforced by unusual sightings of land by vessels. So, they might have not know of Brazil and south America itself, but they knew there was certainly something there

Spain was in conflict with 5 European powers for 200 years: France, England, Holland, Protestant Germany and the Turkish Empire. During the 80 years of war in Holland, the Spanish empire had another 32 wars in the world (20 in Europe), invading Amsterdam, Brussels, Lisbon, Paris, Rome, Cologne ... The English were only saved because they are an island, and by three storms: the invading Spanish fleets 1588, 1596 and 1597. Spain had 8 million inhabitants. Our European enemies had 60 million. Then we had hundreds of thousands of Spaniards building 700 stone cities in America and the Philippines, before 1600 year, with 10 universities, thousands of kindergartens, forts, hospitals and cathedrals. Another part of the Spanish was discovering and exploring Vancouver, the Amazon, Antarctica, the Colorado Canyon, the sources of the White Nile, Tahiti, the Andes, Kansas, Papua New Guinea, Borneo, Taiwan (China) ... Another great part of the Spanish was in Italy, building universities and palaces. Or in the Spanish fleet, which destroyed English, French, Turkish, German, Dutch and Japanese fleets of 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 100 or 200 ships. With all the Spanish so busy exploring the world, China was impossible. It was impossible for everyone until the 19th century, and only on the coast and little else.
@@Gloriaimperial1 I love how even just your first two sentences are bullshit: as if other powers didn't face coalitions too and were all on the same side. France certainly wasn't in a advantageous position when they had to face all the Habsburg territories (half of western Europe) and England at the same time. The Ottomans didn't too when they had to face holy leagues with a third of Europe against them. Or when Louis XIV had to face half of Europe mostly alone. Spain wasn't more isolated than anybody else. One could even argue the opposite: being ruled by Habsurgs mean they generally had reliable allies, in particular the Archduke of Austria, thus Emperor of the HRE. And I don't know in what alternate universe Spain took Paris.
Being portuguese and having learned of the treaty of Tordesilhas since very early, and having a good grasp of Portuguese previous expansive and exploratory before that event, it was pretty clear, even for a bunch of ten year old kids, that Portugal had just bluffed everyone. That 200 or so leagues westward of the original line proposal can't be a coincidence. Puts a smirk on my face everytime ☺️

Spain was the first to write that down in the west. Portugal goes to Qesm. "We are the first to discover this island among Europeans!" Alexander the Great's ghost: Who awakened me to correct them!!?
Portugal, at the time was involved in a Cold War with Castile, the dominant kingdom that would make up the bulk of what would later become Spain. Portugal probably knew that an American continent existed, because they were closely allied with the Kingdoms around Denmark, whose Viking sailors had travelled as far west as Newfoundland and even formed a settlement at L'Anse aux Meadows. So, the Portuguese probably also believed that the North American continent had nothing of value and had too harsh a climate to be colonized. For these reasons, they denied Columbus’ request for an expedition (they saw it as a waste of time and resources). Another reason was that the Portuguese guarded their maritime maps zealously. It was a crime punishable by death to sell or copy Portuguese maps, which is the reason why so few of them exist today. Columbus had access to Portuguese maps, since he lived in Portugal for 30 years and married a Portuguese woman from the nobility (and presumably had access to her family’s maps. So the Portuguese Crown saw no value, or useful purpose, in funding Columbus’ expedition. But, when Columbus landed in the Dominican, a much more favourable climate and a land that was encroaching on their sovereignty over the Southern Atlantic, they probably figured that they had to become pro-active. They negotiated a Treaty that they felt would maintain their exclusive rights over the African sea route to India and over the new lands in Africa. They probably had not ventured far enough yet into the American continent to have encountered the great and wealthy civilizations of the Incas and Aztecs. So Spain was able to capitalize on this. But there is a lot of speculation and belief, particularly amongst historians in Portugal that the Portuguese knew full well that an American continent existed well before the voyage of Columbus and the treaty of Tordesilhas.
@@SamuelChac0n Yes, you're right, they were largely forgotten. However, the knowledge that was gained from these expeditions was still around. Case in point: the idea that an abandoned viking settlement existed in Lanse-aux-Meadows was championed mainly by Danish researchers, who for decades had insisted that this knowledge has been passed down for centuries through Denmark's historical chronicles.
There’s no evidence that Portugal knew about the Americas beforehand, and no historian supports that claim. What there is evidence for is that they knew about Brazil before the official date of 1500, but to know about America before Columbus there is just no evidence.
@@cassianoneto1553 You're right that there is no evidence to support the claim that the Portuguese knew about North America before Columbus. But, there are historians in Portugal who do speculate that this is true. This is particularly the case because Columbus lived in Portugal for 30 years and was married to a Portuguese noble woman. So, he most assuredly knew the same information that her family knew. The fact that there is no evidence is why I said "probably" in most of my commentary above. So, I know that this is speculation. But, in strictly technical terms, if the Portuguese knew about Brazil, then they knew about America, since Brazil is in America.
@@filhodarosa7512 Columbus’ voyage was in 1492, while the official discovery date for Brazil is 1500, that 8 year gap is where there’s rampant speculation that Portugal had already sent multiple expeditions to America before the official date, specially because of the way the Tordesilhas treaty was drafted.

Iberian nations were the only nations able to explore and conquer the world because the had the science and technologies to do it. Nor France, nor England nor the Netherlands until at least a century and a half later. Portugal way of colonization was more based on trade and factories, like Venetians of Phoenicians.

@@chelomejias676 what an unbelievably stupid comment. so the Portuguese didn't have big balls. ? they were always at a huge numerical disadvantage yet they still had a global empire. but just to give you an idea about the level of respect and fear Spain had for Portugal at that time in history. Spain had to sail across the Pacific to reach the Philippines, because the Portuguese controlled the southern Atlantic and Indian oceans. the Spanish knew how powerful and ruthless the Portuguese empire was, knowing if they were ever captured in Portuguese waters they would be tortured to death.

@@br3menPT Hay una expansión paralela de España y Portugal. España ya hace exploraciones en el Mediterráneo central y Oriental en 1282 (Sicilia) y 1311, llegando a Atenas (imperio de Aragón, que tiene colonias en el Norte de África antes de 1385). También hay exploradores mallorquinas (españolas) en la zona de Canarias en ese siglo, junto a los genoveses y portugueses. Portugal llega a Ceuta en 1415. España tiene Canarias desde 1404. Los dos países están en África al mismo tiempo. España llega a América en 1492. La hipótesis de la llegada de los vikingos, portugueses o balleneros españoles y franceses, antes de 1492, es una incertidumbre, y no significa un imperio global en otro continente. No hay comercio ni colonización en América antes de 1492. Así que España se expande a América antes que Portugal (estamos en 3 continentes: Europa, África y América, antes que los portugueses: Europa y África en 1492). Los portugueses llegan a Asia en 1498. A Brasil en 1500. Es el momento en que Portugal está en 4 continentes. España en 3. España hace la primera vuelta al mundo y la primera llegada a la Ocenía profunda entre 1519-1522. Entonces España es el primer país que está en 5 continentes y hace la primera vuelta global. Descubrimiento de la zona polar Antártica en 1603, Gabriel de Castilla. El rey Carlos I de España (emperador V de Alemania) es el primer rey que puede decir que tiene dominios en todos los continentes, de una forma global, y un imperio en Europa. Luego Felipe II une a los imperios español y portugués. No me gusta decir que España es la pionera de los viajes internacionales.

England only had colonial ideas during the reign of queen Elizabeth which was around 1600 a 100 years after the treaty was made and the 16th century was the when Spain and Portugal dominated europe.
@@wiseguyfromphil1965 no Portugal very much dominated Europe in their early colonial days. They were rich and had huge influence in movement of trades. You should’ve mentioned France if anything and the HRE was so loosely connected it was Austria and the Habsburg that dominated Europe and the hre but the hre was barely a state to dominate anything. Ottomans as well had no influence in Europe, in the balkans ? Yes and their neighbouring countries ? Sure but did France give a fk if the ottomans wanted them to do something, nope. The ottomans didn’t have much influence in Europe as a whole because any of their attempts for ottoman hegemony would be destroyed by a unified catholic force, best example would be siege of Vienna, religion was too sacred in the olden days. the Iberians had so much influence over the pope and had so much money as well, as well as being allies to each other the Iberian monarchy could basically do whatever the hell they want. Portugal also had a stable alliance with England plus their already formidable navy puts them in a very safe spot to do anything as no one really wants war with Portugal as it would be detrimental
@@TheWorldInsider This video is about the year 1494 during the Tordesillas Treaty to divide the world. England & France was financially devastated by the hundred years war. The Ottomans however just conquered Constantinople 4 decades earlier, so it was pretty much a threat to the Christendom. Portugal was a great sea empire, but no influence in mainland Europe. The year 1494 saw Spain, Ottoman and HRE as the dominant powers.
@@wiseguyfromphil1965 I don’t know if you understand the term ‘influence’ the ottomans had no influence over the Europeans because the ottomans did not give the Europeans any reason to respect them. The ottomans already cut off trade coming from Asia through Anatolia to Europe, so the ottomans had no leverage on the Europeans other than conquest. The Portuguese however controlled a lot of trade and were so wealthy. You need to understand money = power to a huge extend. The hre was so disconnected and the Habsburg was not yet the strong dynasty they will become. The 100 years war did not financially devastate the countries because it was more like multiple small wars than an actual war. The 100 years war was devastating at times especially in the earlier years but towards the end it was barely any massive conflicts it was just France slow recapture of their french speaking lands. England was devastated yes but not by the 100 years war they were devastated by the war of the roses. So France was very much influential due to being a strong kingdom with a lot of agricultural lands, Portugal was influential due to having a strong grasp on trade and also being in good terms with Spain and England which means they did not have a lot of struggle with challenges to their trade. They also owned the port of Ceuta along with Spain’s gilbratar which means any trade going into the Mediterranean had to go past these two ports. Unless traders used upriver boats which usually transport less goods. The best example to let you understand is some small nobles listen to orders and request of rich traders because these nobles have too much to lose financially from angering these traders. Not to mention the power to bribe and the power to hire mercenaries
@@TheWorldInsider The Ottoman conquered Anatolia and Constantinople. This ultimately " influenced" the Portuguese and Spain to find a sea route to Asia, in turn this led to the end of the Medieval Era and evolved to the Modern Era.

The alleged Portuguese or Basque whaling voyages to America, before 1470, are speculation. The world is revolutionized in 1492. The Vikings came before, but they only hunted seals. For example: Spain has a map of Hawaii (16th century), and a Spanish helmet in New Zealand (16th century), but those are the only pieces of evidence, and that did not change the history of the world. Spain begins the expansion before. The empire of Aragon (Spain), conquered Sicily with a fleet in 1282, defeating France. Aragon conquered Athens, with a fleet, in 1311, defeating the Turks (they spent 70 years in Athens). Aragon conquered Yerba, in Tunisia, in 1380 (35 years before Portugal arrived in Ceuta, in 1415), as well as invading southern France. Castile (Spain) defeats the English fleet at La Rochelle, 1372, sinking 48 ships. And defeat the fleet of the German Hanseatic League in the North Sea. Castile invades southern England in 1377, 1380-81, and 1411. Castile conquers the Canary Islands, Africa, in 1404, 11 years before Portugal. Portugal slowly explores the west African coast (close to the coast). Castilla also explores the African coast, making 12 commercial voyages to the Gulf of Guinea at the same time. Although Portugal prevails there, but Castilla also navigated those seas. Spain is the first country that arrived in America, in 1492 (3 continents). We even got to Brazil earlier (Pinzón, 3 months before Cabral). Portugal arrives in India in 1498, and in Brazil in 1500. It is the time when Portugal is on 4 continents. But the world has 5 or 6 continents. The Spanish fleet crossed the entire deep Pacific Ocean for the first time in 1521, reaching the Philippines, and we went around the world in 1522. Spain is on the 5 continents. The Spanish empire invades Portugal in 1580. It is the first time that a king is represented in the 5 continents and in all the seas. In 1603, Spain discovered the Antarctic zone. Spain arrives first in Europe, Africa, America and Oceania. Portugal arrives first in Asia.
On the Portuguese discovery of modern day Brazil, I think they were trying to avoid the strong currents of the ocean west of Africa. They shifted their track west and discovered Brazil (correct me if this is wrong).
Correct. Hence the knoledge of a big land mass was known to the portuguese 30 years before the treaty. But the portuguese king, John II had a very secretive policy regarding maps and early colonies.
There is speculation that the change of route might have been deliberate. The D-Tour was absolutely massive and very unecessary to dodge any sort of current. Also, Cabaral was very experienced to make such a clumsy "accident".
One thing that is often forgotten, is that at the end of the Portuguese domain in Asia, the spices were much cheaper, once they were arriving in Europa at much more quantities. The Portuguese were not making the huge fortune that once made the Portuguese king to have much more gold than all other European kings together. Portugal had just about one millon habitants at that time and it had to chose between exploring Brazil where the new sugar and coffee plantations were the new "spices" and much more profitable. Adding that some decades later, the Lusos found gold in Brazil and when the European kings were counting their gold in grams, the Portugues were counting their gold in tons! Also, many times is just talked about the Dutch victories in Asia, but the Dutch vs Portuguese War had the victory of Portugal in Angola and Brazil! Many times people ask what the Portuguese made with so much gold? Contrary to what other Europeans made, Portugal built and invested in the colonies. That is why about 30 World Architectural Cultural Heritage by UNESCO were built by the Portuguese around the world, which no one else did, well except maybe Spain.
The investment in the colonies paid off for Portugal, as their government was able to take refuge in Brazil in 1808 while the French under Napoleon were threatening the Portuguese homeland.
Another great vid, love early Portuguese and Spanish history. Spanish in particular since it changed the the southwest of North America, and my people the Navajo.
I live in the extreme south of Brazil, where there are a large number of Spanish, German, Italians and indigenous immigrants, so this subject interests me a lot, Brazil's success goes even further, the country had one of the best armies, and certainly had the best navy of the 18th century, in the 17th century, with the napoleonic invasions of europe, for some reason Dom João VI of portugal knew that portugal would be invaded, and with no chance of defense, he decided to take all his crown and the riches of Portugal to Brazil, so there settling down and making Brazil prosper, which was just a colony in the northeast and southeast, after that we had our own independence with Dom Pedro I son of João VI, and the country always prospered at that time. In the 18th century, Brazil was doing well with King Dom Pedro II, who is considered by many to be the greatest king of the 18th century, as he was one of the most brilliant kings of all time, having as his master the patriarch of Brazil called José Bonifácio , but unfortunately in 1889 the corrupt military army, destroyed the Brazilian dream of be a great country, dethroning King Dom Pedro II and placing a republic in Brazil, the family of Orleans and Bragança, which is the Brazilian royal family, they still waiting in 2023 to return to its throne, that they know belong to them, but unfortunately the Brazilian nation was lost in time, they no longer knows its history as it should, and does not understand this, the proof is that there was a vote for the Brazilian population to decide whether if they wanted the royal family back reigning, but unfortunately people didn't want to, and that's why Brazil has been stumbling around for 1 century, losing its prosperity, and having its values stolen. However, to not to leave a sad ending to the text, I must say that i believe that someday in the next 50 years, brazil will rise up and will be one of the richest nations in the world, the country is changing and people are more and more awake to their history, and are starting to understand how strong they are as a nation, which makes me very proud as a Brazilian to be participating in this

The European entry into Asia, commencing with the Portuguese in the 16th century, was driven by two principal factors, namely the aim of colonising Asian countries for purpose of trade and exploitation of natural resources, and converting the inhabitants of these lands to Christianity The Portuguese had as one of its primary aims the propagation of the Christian faith in the newly 'discovered' lands of Asia, including Sri Lanka (called ' Ceilao' by the Portuguese) and the realisation of this aim was accompanied by steps taken to suppress wherever possible all other religions extant in these lands namely Buddhism, Hinduism and Islam.
Fun fact: The Treaty of Tordecillas had repercusions well into the 19th Century as Brazil and the United Provinces of The River Plate (Argentina) finally settled their dispute over the Oriental Strait in 1828 thanks to British intervention. That's how my country Uruguay was created.

I think Spain. There was definitely more land under Portugal’s side, but that land was mainly inhabited under organized and way more populated states, so it was more difficult to colonize/conquer. They got a good deal when they moved the Tordesillas line westwards, though.
@@ZCBM98 Spain also traded a lot, they had for three hundred years a trade route between the Philippines, America and Europe that moved the economy a lot, in fact even China was so affected by this trade route that when Spain fell into bankruptcy the Chinese economy temporarily collapsed , although in any case Spain, rather than dedicating itself to the extraction of minerals or to trade, was dedicated to using the rich lands they owned in America to obtain raw materials that they later manufactured in the Iberian Peninsula.
I had to update myself on my historical knowledge. I started watching the TV show thinking the dutch, English, and Americans were going to be part of it. But, it takes place a couple hundred years before when the Portuguese and Spanish controlled the oceans.
Portugal was not more military more powerful than Castille but in their dreams, really. And exploring ships are not a military navy, for which the Spanish had not only a better access to hire Genoese galleys, but also had acquire a lot more experienced crews after their experiences in the 100 years war (in which Castille scored a really big naval victory against England, for instance). Even then, Aragon was clearly the naval power of the three by far, and the more experienced in those matters (not so many years before this, an Admiral of the Crown of Aragon claimed that 'not even fish can cross the western mediterranean if they don't bear the bars of the Crown of Aragon'. Still, it's true that relations between the Portuguese and the Spanish monarchs was not bad (specially after the mess decades later of the war of succession of Castille that confronted them, and, by the way, won the 'Spanish' side).
Lol why are you Spanish always soo petty? Its not even just with Portuguese it as bad with brits and French to a lesser extent My image of a Spanish dude at this point is the guy with a fedora going actually Also I don't know about that Castille and Aragon got wrecked at sea during the war of Castillian sucession and king Ferdinand had to run from Prince Jonh at Toro the only major batle during the war in wich Portugal won the battle I don't see how you can be Soo delusional to even think that both kingdoms individually were stronger than Portugal at a point when both together couldn't win militarly

0:15 Wait, this map is wrong. Polish-Lithuanian Commonweath was created in 1569 and by 1569 Moscow Tsardom had already conquered Kazan (1552) and Astrahan (1556) khanates, which means that Moscow Tsardom should have had all the territory down to Caspian Sea at least

Spain and Portugal the first global Empires of human History. The British and French had to wait until the 18th Century to start shouting victory, before that they were like the "crying wojak" meme
The rest of Europe or of the world didnt have the knowledge, the means, neither the sea power to deny the Iberian Treaty! Just Portugal and Spain could sail on those waters, in fact Portugal had to discover how to travel on those waters, where were the winds, the currents, in what directions, in what part of the year was it possible to travel there? Europe was more than 100 years behind in relation to Iberia, it is a pity that historical commentators always talk about how European countries were only tolerant of the Treaty of Tordesillas and never say the truth, which was only one, until the end of the 18th century, Portugal and Spain have always been the richest and most developed regions in Europe!
I read that the Iberian's territories of the all the sea was only to Iberian until 1603 or 1605... more than 100 years of Pacific, Atlantic and Indian Oceans for Spain and Portugal. It was like the Mediterranean for Romans.
Phillipines went to Spain even if it was in the Portuguese side, but Portuguese continued their expansion in inner Brazil thanks to the Iberian Unión until 1640. There was no border

They knew there was land. It was improbable that there was not. They did not realize it was a whole continent though. Early explorers began to think all the lands between Asia and Europe where archipelagos of islands like in the Caribbean. The idea quickly faded out as they searched for a route directly to Asia, but was prevalent around the time of the agreement.

Both Portugal and Spain were the first GLOBAL powers of the Modern Era! Portugal, for example, was the first Thalassocratic Colonial power of the Modern Era!
The apogee of Portugal (whether militarily, economically or politically), in MY historical analysis, took place during the rule of the House of Avis, more precisely during the reigns of John I (1385-1433), Duarte I (1433-1438), Afonso V (1438-1481), John II (1481-1495), Manuel I (1495-1521) and John III (1521-1557). Throughout this period, Portugal had a powerful Thalassocratic Empire that spread across all continents! The Portuguese, for example, were the first European people to arrive in Japan.
The year of 1492, in MY historical analysis, was undoubtedly the most important and glorious year of the entire Spanish history due to three main reasons:
• 1) 1492 marked the definitive end of the Emirate of Granada as a political organization (which was the last Muslim stronghold in Spain).1492, therefore, represented the final Christian victory of the Spanish Reconquista.
• 2) 1492 marked the beginning of the establishment of the Spanish Colonial Empire (PLVS VLTRA). Following the arrival of Columbus in the Americas (1492), under the patronage of the Catholic Kings (Los Reyes Católicos), Spain founded its Colonial Thalassocratic Empire, which was the very first GLOBAL empire of modern history (alongside with Portugal). At its height, more precisely during the reigns of Charles I (1516-1556) and Philip II (1556-1598), the Spanish Empire extended from the Americas to the Philippines, including the Caribbean!
• 3) In 1492, the Spanish Pope Alexander VI was elected (Rodrigo Borgia), which increased the Spanish influence in Italy.
1492, therefore, was the Spanish "Annus Mirabilis" (wonderful year).
The pioneer of the Great Navigations, however, was the small (but important) Kingdom of Portugal. Portugal, in my historical analysis, became the pioneer of the Great Navigations due to four main reasons:
• 1) The rise of the House of Avis (the most glorious Portuguese dynasty). The Portuguese victory at the decisive Battle of Aljubarrota (1385), for example, not only definitively consolidated Portugal as an independent kingdom in Europe (under the leadership of king John I), but it also ushered an era of unprecedented expansions. As I mentioned before, the reigns of John I, Duarte I, Afonso V, John II (the Portuguese king during the Treaty of Tordesilhas), Manuel I and John III, in my historical analysis, represented the golden age of LUSITANIA and its people. Throughout this historical period, the Portuguese, in my own words, became the "Phoenicians" of the Modern Era!
• 2) The Fall of Constantinople (1453). The Fall of Constantinople further stimulated the Portuguese expansion (which began in 1415 with the Portuguese conquest of Ceuta). The Ottoman control of the Black Sea and the Venetian monopoly in the Mediterranean, therefore, further boosted the Portuguese search for an alternative route.
After the Fall of Constantinople, Lisbon became the destination of cartographers, astronomers and navigators from all over Europe, including Columbus himself! Moreover, after the arrival of Vasco da Gama in India (1498), Portugal became the main supplier of eastern products to Europe. By the end of the 15th century, Portugal had a Thalassocratic Empire that would make the Phoenicians cry with envy.
• 3) Portugal's clear geographical advantage.
• 4) Portugal became the first European country to constitute a modern Nation-State. After the conclusion of the Portuguese Reconquista in 1249 (when king Afonso III conquered Faro), Portugal turned its attention to its internal development. During the reign of Dinis I (1279-1325), Portugal was already a highly centralized and bureaucratic State.
Very true, I subscribe to everything that Portugal, our brother country, did. And we must not forget that Spain had an imperial hegemony in Europe for more than 150 years. We had a "NATO" in Italy (Battle of Lepanto), which we filled with universities, baroque cities, fortresses and palaces, like the one in Caserta, in Versailles style. ¡And Pompeya and Herculano! The Spanish King Carlos I, also became Emperor of Germany. Philip II became king of England and Ireland. We had the Netherlands, where we were for 200 years, and the best army in the world. Almost all the capitals of Western Europe were invaded several times: Rome, Paris, Amsterdam, Cologne, Brussels, Lisbon ... We won 9 wars against France, and captured the French king. And the Spanish influence in Asia and Oceania, which revolutionized the Asian market. We were in the Philippines, in Taiwan (China), Borneo, Papua and New Guinea, the Pacific archipelagos, Cambodia. The Spanish currency (8 or Spanish dollar real) was the most important for 300 years, mother of the currencies of the United States, China, Japan, Hong-Kong, the Philippines and 30 other countries.
Or the Spanish political and civilizing contributions: the first parliament of Europe (León 1118), liberalism (ideas of Francisco Suárez, 16th century), the current calendar (Salamanca school), the first patented steam engines for industrial use ( Ayanz, 16th century), the first international human rights (Laws of Burgos 1512 and New Laws 1542), the golden age of culture (which filled Europe and the world with classics of literature, such as Don Quixote, the best work of fiction of history, Spanish theater, and geniuses of painting such as Velázquez, or of music, such as Tomás Luis de Victoria. We participated in the Renaissance. We made the first naturalistic expeditions, and even ideas about gravity that influenced Galileo and Newton. Not to mention the discovery of three continents: America (the greatest event in history), Oceania and Antarctica. Or the first round the world (Magellan wanted to go to Asia, and Elcano went around the world). The Spanish naval fleet, which destroyed English, French, Turkish, Dutch and German fleets of 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 100 and 200 ships.
And above all the hispanization of America: 2000 cities of stone, dozens of universities, fortresses, cathedrals, thousands of nursery schools and hospitals, a mixture of races, a religion of peace and a common language. Spanish military and political victories, and Spanish investment in the world has given 800 million Catholics (200 million in Europe and 100 million in Asia) and the second mother tongue in the world, and the first in the West.
It is worth mentioning that Spain also had great navigators in addition to Colon who achieved great voyages (such as Magellan and Elcano, the latter was also the first man to go around the world) in addition to a very important battle of the 16th century for Spain, the Battle of Alcántara, battle which caused Portugal to be occupied by Spain and because of that they had to accept the claim of Felipe II as king of Spain (I would also mention the battle of Terceira Island, which prevented Crato from giving Brazil to France ), certainly both countries achieved great achievements in the 15th and 16th centuries (and also in the 17th and 18th centuries, although they were not as impressive as the previous ones, since they had already set the bar very high.)
Estanislao, you are absolutely right
Portugal global? It's missing out most of the Pacific which alone is like a third of the earth's surface. When you miss a third of a pizza, you don't say you got the whole pizza.

Spain and Portugal were having difficulties to make trade with Asia because of the Ottoman Empire and its satellite states, that's why they were exploring new routes in the west
Exactly. Colombus' attempt was to reach India by just going totally westward, unfortunaly it didn't work because he stubbled upon this little thing called America in the way (even though he never knew it and it wasn't really unfortunate in the end) and Portugal tried another route: sailing around Africa, and succeeded in doing so. They then managed to strip the Ottomans of their dominance of the Indian Ocean with the Battle of Diu.

December 1511, the annual Christmas sermon takes place. Among the participants are Antonio de Montesinos and Bartolomé de las Casas, two missionary monks in the Indies, who played an important role in the fight against the abuse of Native Americans by the conquistadores.
December 1512, the Leyes de Burgos are signed by Fernando the II of Aragón. They are considered the predecessor to Human Rights. However, these laws were not applied efficiently.
1528, Charles the I of Spain and V of Germany forbids the transportation of Native Americans to Europe, even on their own will, in an effort to curtail their enslavement. Encomiendas are banned from collecting tribute in gold with the reasoning that Natives were selling their children to get it.
1530, outright slavery of Native Americans under any circumstance is banned. However, forced labor under the encomienda continues.
1542, the Leyes Nuevas ban slave raiding in the Americas and abolish the slavery of Natives.
1549, the encomiendas are banned.

@@madrexertheboredtm7728 At least the Americans did not murder the mestizos (Spanish + Filipinos) as the Japanese did during WWII. Specifically during the Massacre of Manila.
Portugal founded the first church in africa, Ásia and América
Spanish Manila and Philippines was seen in the 19th century as a model of colonial governance that effectively put the interests of the original inhabitants of the islands before those of the colonial power. As John Crawfurd put it in its History of the Indian Archipelago, in all of Asia the "Philippines alone did improve in civilization, wealth, and populousness under the colonial rule" of a foreign power. John Bowring, Governor General of British Hong Kong from 1856 to 1860, wrote after his trip to Manila:
"Credit is certainly due to Spain for having bettered the condition of a people who, though comparatively highly civilized, yet being continually distracted by petty wars, had sunk into a disordered and uncultivated state.
The inhabitants of these beautiful Islands upon the whole, may well be considered to have lived as comfortably during the last hundred years, protected from all external enemies and governed by mild laws vis-a-vis those from any other tropical country under native or European sway, owing in some measure, to the frequently discussed peculiar (Spanish) circumstances which protect the interests of the natives."
In The Inhabitants of the Philippines, Frederick Henry Sawyer wrote:
"Until an inept bureaucracy was substituted for the old paternal rule, and the revenue quadrupled by increased taxation, the Filipinos were as happy a community as could be found in any colony. The population greatly multiplied; they lived in competence, if not in affluence; cultivation was extended, and the exports steadily increased. [...] Let us be just; what British, French, or Dutch colony, populated by natives can compare with the Philippines as they were until what 1895?."
Asia's oldest and continue modern learning institution was University of Santo Tomas (Dominican, OP), est. 1611. Universidad De San Ignacio (Jesuit, now defunct when Pope suspended Jesuits for brief period of time) est. 1601. University of San Carlos, est. 1595.
The Augustinians opened a parochial school in Cebu in 1565. The Franciscans, took to the task of improving literacy in 1577, aside from the teaching of new industrial and agricultural techniques. The Jesuits followed in 1581, as well as the Dominicans in 1587, setting up a school around archipelago. The church and the school cooperated to ensure that Christian villages had schools for students to attend.
Schools for boys and for girls were then opened. Colegios were opened for boys, ostensibly the equivalent to present day senior high schools. The Universidad de San Ignacio, founded in Manila by the Jesuits in 1589 was the first colegio. Eventually, it was incorporated into the University of Santo Tomas, College of Medicine and Pharmacology following the suppression of the Jesuits. Girls had two types of schools - the beaterio, a school meant to prepare them for the convent, and another, meant to prepare them for secular womanhood.
The Spaniards are the ones who taught the Filipinos to worship the True God (Biblical God).
*Jesus was Asian*
Christianity made the Filipinos to abandon pagan ways, polygamy, war freak attitude, infanticide and learn temperance, monogamy, resilience and more refined characteristics based from the teachings of Catholic Christianity. Spaniards defeated and ends the warring Hindu, Buddhist, Animist and Islamic chiefdoms in the archipelago and unite it into a single governing entity as Spanish East Indies under Spanish Crown.
The Spaniards are the ones who taught the Filipinos to eat sardines, made and eat pandesal bread during breakfast, drink coffee and chocolate, to wear modest dress because ancient Filipinos were almost half naked and to watch stage plays.
Spanish regime had brought slavery and rape of the Philippine resources, but in fairness it brought and taught more civilized way of life to the Filipino people.

That's actually kinda true, I mean, they weren't sure, but Portugal assumed that if there was some land there, there must be more, a belief that was enforced by unusual sightings of land by vessels.

I've recently read a book on Spanish conquest of the Philippines. After Manila had fallen, Spain felt so powerful they were planning on invading other asian countries and then conquer China. They found out very soon it was impossible. They tried to conquer Cambodia militarily and failed, and they tried to conquer Japan by religious means but the japanese beheaded every spanish priest.
They behaded the Japanese converts... The local overlords made a deal with the Hispanics in order to get access to western technology in exchange of converting to cristianity

Spain was in conflict with 5 European powers for 200 years: France, England, Holland, Protestant Germany and the Turkish Empire. During the 80 years of war in Holland, the Spanish empire had another 32 wars in the world (20 in Europe), invading Amsterdam, Brussels, Lisbon, Paris, Rome, Cologne ... The English were only saved because they are an island, and by three storms: the invading Spanish fleets 1588, 1596 and 1597. Spain had 8 million inhabitants. Our European enemies had 60 million. Then we had hundreds of thousands of Spaniards building 700 stone cities in America and the Philippines, before 1600 year, with 10 universities, thousands of kindergartens, forts, hospitals and cathedrals. Another part of the Spanish was discovering and exploring Vancouver, the Amazon, Antarctica, the Colorado Canyon, the sources of the White Nile, Tahiti, the Andes, Kansas, Papua New Guinea, Borneo, Taiwan (China) ... Another great part of the Spanish was in Italy, building universities and palaces. Or in the Spanish fleet, which destroyed English, French, Turkish, German, Dutch and Japanese fleets of 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 100 or 200 ships.
With all the Spanish so busy exploring the world, China was impossible. It was impossible for everyone until the 19th century, and only on the coast and little else.
@@Gloriaimperial1 I love how even just your first two sentences are bullshit: as if other powers didn't face coalitions too and were all on the same side.

The Ottomans didn't too when they had to face holy leagues with a third of Europe against them. Or when Louis XIV had to face half of Europe mostly alone.
Spain wasn't more isolated than anybody else. One could even argue the opposite: being ruled by Habsurgs mean they generally had reliable allies, in particular the Archduke of Austria, thus Emperor of the HRE. And I don't know in what alternate universe Spain took Paris.

Portugal, at the time was involved in a Cold War with Castile, the dominant kingdom that would make up the bulk of what would later become Spain. Portugal probably knew that an American continent existed, because they were closely allied with the Kingdoms around Denmark, whose Viking sailors had travelled as far west as Newfoundland and even formed a settlement at L'Anse aux Meadows. So, the Portuguese probably also believed that the North American continent had nothing of value and had too harsh a climate to be colonized. For these reasons, they denied Columbus’ request for an expedition (they saw it as a waste of time and resources). Another reason was that the Portuguese guarded their maritime maps zealously. It was a crime punishable by death to sell or copy Portuguese maps, which is the reason why so few of them exist today. Columbus had access to Portuguese maps, since he lived in Portugal for 30 years and married a Portuguese woman from the nobility (and presumably had access to her family’s maps. So the Portuguese Crown saw no value, or useful purpose, in funding Columbus’ expedition. But, when Columbus landed in the Dominican, a much more favourable climate and a land that was encroaching on their sovereignty over the Southern Atlantic, they probably figured that they had to become pro-active. They negotiated a Treaty that they felt would maintain their exclusive rights over the African sea route to India and over the new lands in Africa. They probably had not ventured far enough yet into the American continent to have encountered the great and wealthy civilizations of the Incas and Aztecs. So Spain was able to capitalize on this. But there is a lot of speculation and belief, particularly amongst historians in Portugal that the Portuguese knew full well that an American continent existed well before the voyage of Columbus and the treaty of Tordesilhas.
as far as i know the viking expeditions were largely forgotten by this point
@@SamuelChac0n Yes, you're right, they were largely forgotten. However, the knowledge that was gained from these expeditions was still around. Case in point: the idea that an abandoned viking settlement existed in Lanse-aux-Meadows was championed mainly by Danish researchers, who for decades had insisted that this knowledge has been passed down for centuries through Denmark's historical chronicles.
There’s no evidence that Portugal knew about the Americas beforehand, and no historian supports that claim. What there is evidence for is that they knew about Brazil before the official date of 1500, but to know about America before Columbus there is just no evidence.
@@cassianoneto1553 You're right that there is no evidence to support the claim that the Portuguese knew about North America before Columbus. But, there are historians in Portugal who do speculate that this is true. This is particularly the case because Columbus lived in Portugal for 30 years and was married to a Portuguese noble woman. So, he most assuredly knew the same information that her family knew. The fact that there is no evidence is why I said "probably" in most of my commentary above. So, I know that this is speculation. But, in strictly technical terms, if the Portuguese knew about Brazil, then they knew about America, since Brazil is in America.
@@filhodarosa7512 Columbus’ voyage was in 1492, while the official discovery date for Brazil is 1500, that 8 year gap is where there’s rampant speculation that Portugal had already sent multiple expeditions to America before the official date, specially because of the way the Tordesilhas treaty was drafted.

Iberian nations were the only nations able to explore and conquer the world because the had the science and technologies to do it. Nor France, nor England nor the Netherlands until at least a century and a half later. Portugal way of colonization was more based on trade and factories, like Venetians of Phoenicians. Spain's model of colonization was like Rome.

@@chelomejias676 what an unbelievably stupid comment. so the Portuguese didn't have big balls. ? they were always at a huge numerical disadvantage yet they still had a global empire. but just to give you an idea about the level of respect and fear Spain had for Portugal at that time in history. Spain had to sail across the Pacific to reach the Philippines, because the Portuguese controlled the southern Atlantic and Indian oceans. the Spanish knew how powerful and ruthless the Portuguese empire was, knowing if they were ever captured in Portuguese waters they would be tortured to death.

@@br3menPT Hay una expansión paralela de España y Portugal. España ya hace exploraciones en el Mediterráneo central y Oriental en 1282 (Sicilia) y 1311, llegando a Atenas (imperio de Aragón, que tiene colonias en el Norte de África antes de 1385). También hay exploradores mallorquinas (españolas) en la zona de Canarias en ese siglo, junto a los genoveses y portugueses. Portugal llega a Ceuta en 1415. España tiene Canarias desde 1404. Los dos países están en África al mismo tiempo. España llega a América en 1492. La hipótesis de la llegada de los vikingos, portugueses o balleneros españoles y franceses, antes de 1492, es una incertidumbre, y no significa un imperio global en otro continente. No hay comercio ni colonización en América antes de 1492. Así que España se expande a América antes que Portugal (estamos en 3 continentes: Europa, África y América, antes que los portugueses: Europa y África en 1492). Los portugueses llegan a Asia en 1498. A Brasil en 1500. Es el momento en que Portugal está en 4 continentes. España en 3. España hace la primera vuelta al mundo y la primera llegada a la Ocenía profunda entre 1519-1522. Entonces España es el primer país que está en 5 continentes y hace la primera vuelta global. Descubrimiento de la zona polar Antártica en 1603, Gabriel de Castilla. El rey Carlos I de España (emperador V de Alemania) es el primer rey que puede decir que tiene dominios en todos los continentes, de una forma global, y un imperio en Europa. Luego Felipe II une a los imperios español y portugués. No me gusta decir que España es la pionera de los viajes internacionales. Es una expansión paralela de las dos potencias ibéricas: España y Portugal.

???? the female mind makes no sense sometimes.
England only had colonial ideas during the reign of queen Elizabeth which was around 1600 a 100 years after the treaty was made and the 16th century was the when Spain and Portugal dominated europe.
Portugal was a colonial power YES. Did they dominate Europe? NO. It was the Spanish, Ottoman and HRE who dominated Europe at this time.
@@wiseguyfromphil1965 no Portugal very much dominated Europe in their early colonial days. They were rich and had huge influence in movement of trades. You should’ve mentioned France if anything and the HRE was so loosely connected it was Austria and the Habsburg that dominated Europe and the hre but the hre was barely a state to dominate anything. Ottomans as well had no influence in Europe, in the balkans ? Yes and their neighbouring countries ? Sure but did France give a fk if the ottomans wanted them to do something, nope. The ottomans didn’t have much influence in Europe as a whole because any of their attempts for ottoman hegemony would be destroyed by a unified catholic force, best example would be siege of Vienna, religion was too sacred in the olden days. the Iberians had so much influence over the pope and had so much money as well, as well as being allies to each other the Iberian monarchy could basically do whatever the hell they want. Portugal also had a stable alliance with England plus their already formidable navy puts them in a very safe spot to do anything as no one really wants war with Portugal as it would be detrimental
@@TheWorldInsider This video is about the year 1494 during the Tordesillas Treaty to divide the world. England & France was financially devastated by the hundred years war. The Ottomans however just conquered Constantinople 4 decades earlier, so it was pretty much a threat to the Christendom.
Portugal was a great sea empire, but no influence in mainland Europe. The year 1494 saw Spain, Ottoman and HRE as the dominant powers.
@@wiseguyfromphil1965 I don’t know if you understand the term ‘influence’ the ottomans had no influence over the Europeans because the ottomans did not give the Europeans any reason to respect them. The ottomans already cut off trade coming from Asia through Anatolia to Europe, so the ottomans had no leverage on the Europeans other than conquest. The Portuguese however controlled a lot of trade and were so wealthy. You need to understand money = power to a huge extend. The hre was so disconnected and the Habsburg was not yet the strong dynasty they will become. The 100 years war did not financially devastate the countries because it was more like multiple small wars than an actual war. The 100 years war was devastating at times especially in the earlier years but towards the end it was barely any massive conflicts it was just France slow recapture of their french speaking lands. England was devastated yes but not by the 100 years war they were devastated by the war of the roses. So France was very much influential due to being a strong kingdom with a lot of agricultural lands, Portugal was influential due to having a strong grasp on trade and also being in good terms with Spain and England which means they did not have a lot of struggle with challenges to their trade. They also owned the port of Ceuta along with Spain’s gilbratar which means any trade going into the Mediterranean had to go past these two ports. Unless traders used upriver boats which usually transport less goods.
The best example to let you understand is some small nobles listen to orders and request of rich traders because these nobles have too much to lose financially from angering these traders. Not to mention the power to bribe and the power to hire mercenaries
@@TheWorldInsider The Ottoman conquered Anatolia and Constantinople. This ultimately " influenced" the Portuguese and Spain to find a sea route to Asia, in turn this led to the end of the Medieval Era and evolved to the Modern Era. You should learn general history by studying what led to the age of discovery.

A esposa de Colombo era portuguesa e os irmãos e pai dela já sabiam da existência das Américas. Ele viviam na ilha da Madeira. Os Portugueses eram os únicos que sabiam onde estavam indo naquela época, não por acaso o primeiro a contornar os limites das Américas e África eram portugueses.( Fernão de Magalhães, Bartolomeu Dias e Vasco da Gama).
Filipa Moniz Perestrelo, filha de Bartolomeu Perestrelo primeiro capitão do donatário, da ilha do Porto Santo.
Duarte Pacheco Pereira também conduzia em sigilo pois Portugal, caso não fosse descoberto, poderia colonizar o novo mundo sozinho.
Já agora como é que um filho de um tecelão vem dar a costa portuguesa como pirata e casa com alguém da nobreza Portuguesa e tem acesso ao ensino na escola naval Portuguesa?
The alleged Portuguese or Basque whaling voyages to America, before 1470, are speculation. The world is revolutionized in 1492. The Vikings came before, but they only hunted seals. For example: Spain has a map of Hawaii (16th century), and a Spanish helmet in New Zealand (16th century), but those are the only pieces of evidence, and that did not change the history of the world.
Spain begins the expansion before.
The empire of Aragon (Spain), conquered Sicily with a fleet in 1282, defeating France. Aragon conquered Athens, with a fleet, in 1311, defeating the Turks (they spent 70 years in Athens). Aragon conquered Yerba, in Tunisia, in 1380 (35 years before Portugal arrived in Ceuta, in 1415), as well as invading southern France. Castile (Spain) defeats the English fleet at La Rochelle, 1372, sinking 48 ships. And defeat the fleet of the German Hanseatic League in the North Sea. Castile invades southern England in 1377, 1380-81, and 1411. Castile conquers the Canary Islands, Africa, in 1404, 11 years before Portugal. Portugal slowly explores the west African coast (close to the coast). Castilla also explores the African coast, making 12 commercial voyages to the Gulf of Guinea at the same time. Although Portugal prevails there, but Castilla also navigated those seas. Spain is the first country that arrived in America, in 1492 (3 continents). We even got to Brazil earlier (Pinzón, 3 months before Cabral). Portugal arrives in India in 1498, and in Brazil in 1500. It is the time when Portugal is on 4 continents. But the world has 5 or 6 continents. The Spanish fleet crossed the entire deep Pacific Ocean for the first time in 1521, reaching the Philippines, and we went around the world in 1522. Spain is on the 5 continents. The Spanish empire invades Portugal in 1580. It is the first time that a king is represented in the 5 continents and in all the seas. In 1603, Spain discovered the Antarctic zone.
Spain arrives first in Europe, Africa, America and Oceania. Portugal arrives first in Asia.
Portugueses and spanishs, brothers in arms!
Phuck hue
I have learned so much from this channel.
This was a joy to watch!
Yeah
On the Portuguese discovery of modern day Brazil, I think they were trying to avoid the strong currents of the ocean west of Africa. They shifted their track west and discovered Brazil (correct me if this is wrong).
Correct. Hence the knoledge of a big land mass was known to the portuguese 30 years before the treaty.
But the portuguese king, John II had a very secretive policy regarding maps and early colonies.
There is speculation that the change of route might have been deliberate.
The D-Tour was absolutely massive and very unecessary to dodge any sort of current. Also, Cabaral was very experienced to make such a clumsy "accident".
New World: Oh hello ther...
Portugal and Spain: Taken!
One thing that is often forgotten, is that at the end of the Portuguese domain in Asia, the spices were much cheaper, once they were arriving in Europa at much more quantities. The Portuguese were not making the huge fortune that once made the Portuguese king to have much more gold than all other European kings together. Portugal had just about one millon habitants at that time and it had to chose between exploring Brazil where the new sugar and coffee plantations were the new "spices" and much more profitable. Adding that some decades later, the Lusos found gold in Brazil and when the European kings were counting their gold in grams, the Portugues were counting their gold in tons! Also, many times is just talked about the Dutch victories in Asia, but the Dutch vs Portuguese War had the victory of Portugal in Angola and Brazil! Many times people ask what the Portuguese made with so much gold? Contrary to what other Europeans made, Portugal built and invested in the colonies. That is why about 30 World Architectural Cultural Heritage by UNESCO were built by the Portuguese around the world, which no one else did, well except maybe Spain.
The investment in the colonies paid off for Portugal, as their government was able to take refuge in Brazil in 1808 while the French under Napoleon were threatening the Portuguese homeland.
@@DamonNomad82 right! At the same time this event perhaps led to the independence of Brazil having happened prematurely.
They gave much of the gold to the English. That's what they did.

I live in the extreme south of Brazil, where there are a large number of Spanish, German, Italians and indigenous immigrants, so this subject interests me a lot, Brazil's success goes even further, the country had one of the best armies, and certainly had the best navy of the 18th century, in the 17th century, with the napoleonic invasions of europe, for some reason Dom João VI of portugal knew that portugal would be invaded, and with no chance of defense, he decided to take all his crown and the riches of Portugal to Brazil, so there settling down and making Brazil prosper, which was just a colony in the northeast and southeast, after that we had our own independence with Dom Pedro I son of João VI, and the country always prospered at that time. In the 18th century, Brazil was doing well with King Dom Pedro II, who is considered by many to be the greatest king of the 18th century, as he was one of the most brilliant kings of all time, having as his master the patriarch of Brazil called José Bonifácio , but unfortunately in 1889 the corrupt military army, destroyed the Brazilian dream of be a great country, dethroning King Dom Pedro II and placing a republic in Brazil, the family of Orleans and Bragança, which is the Brazilian royal family, they still waiting in 2023 to return to its throne, that they know belong to them, but unfortunately the Brazilian nation was lost in time, they no longer knows its history as it should, and does not understand this, the proof is that there was a vote for the Brazilian population to decide whether if they wanted the royal family back reigning, but unfortunately people didn't want to, and that's why Brazil has been stumbling around for 1 century, losing its prosperity, and having its values stolen. However, to not to leave a sad ending to the text, I must say that i believe that someday in the next 50 years, brazil will rise up and will be one of the richest nations in the world, the country is changing and people are more and more awake to their history, and are starting to understand how strong they are as a nation, which makes me very proud as a Brazilian to be participating in this

The European entry into Asia, commencing with the Portuguese in the 16th century, was driven by two principal factors, namely the aim of colonising Asian countries for purpose of trade and exploitation of natural resources, and converting the inhabitants of these lands to Christianity The Portuguese had as one of its primary aims the propagation of the Christian faith in the newly 'discovered' lands of Asia, including Sri Lanka (called ' Ceilao' by the Portuguese) and the realisation of this aim was accompanied by steps taken to suppress wherever possible all other religions extant in these lands namely Buddhism, Hinduism and Islam.

I think Spain. There was definitely more land under Portugal’s side, but that land was mainly inhabited under organized and way more populated states, so it was more difficult to colonize/conquer. They got a good deal when they moved the Tordesillas line westwards, though.
Of course it was Portugal
Definitely Spain! They took all of the Aztec and Inca gold. They brought so much gold back in the Spanish mainland that it even created inflation
@@ZCBM98 Spain also traded a lot, they had for three hundred years a trade route between the Philippines, America and Europe that moved the economy a lot, in fact even China was so affected by this trade route that when Spain fell into bankruptcy the Chinese economy temporarily collapsed , although in any case Spain, rather than dedicating itself to the extraction of minerals or to trade, was dedicated to using the rich lands they owned in America to obtain raw materials that they later manufactured in the Iberian Peninsula.
Portugal was given rights to Africa, India, and China.

Spain: Yeah, sure, why not

Portugal was not more military more powerful than Castille but in their dreams, really. And exploring ships are not a military navy, for which the Spanish had not only a better access to hire Genoese galleys, but also had acquire a lot more experienced crews after their experiences in the 100 years war (in which Castille scored a really big naval victory against England, for instance). Even then, Aragon was clearly the naval power of the three by far, and the more experienced in those matters (not so many years before this, an Admiral of the Crown of Aragon claimed that 'not even fish can cross the western mediterranean if they don't bear the bars of the Crown of Aragon'. Still, it's true that relations between the Portuguese and the Spanish monarchs was not bad (specially after the mess decades later of the war of succession of Castille that confronted them, and, by the way, won the 'Spanish' side).
Lol why are you Spanish always soo petty? Its not even just with Portuguese it as bad with brits and French to a lesser extent
My image of a Spanish dude at this point is the guy with a fedora going actually

The rest of Europe or of the world didnt have the knowledge, the means, neither the sea power to deny the Iberian Treaty! Just Portugal and Spain could sail on those waters, in fact Portugal had to discover how to travel on those waters, where were the winds, the currents, in what directions, in what part of the year was it possible to travel there? Europe was more than 100 years behind in relation to Iberia, it is a pity that historical commentators always talk about how European countries were only tolerant of the Treaty of Tordesillas and never say the truth, which was only one, until the end of the 18th century, Portugal and Spain have always been the richest and most developed regions in Europe!
I read that the Iberian's territories of the all the sea was only to Iberian until 1603 or 1605... more than 100 years of Pacific, Atlantic and Indian Oceans for Spain and Portugal. It was like the Mediterranean for Romans.
Phillipines went to Spain even if it was in the Portuguese side, but Portuguese continued their expansion in inner Brazil thanks to the Iberian Unión until 1640. There was no border
