@@grantcaldwell1582 Like a Starcraft map :) It's a great idea for videos about exploration. Would love to see fog of war used in map videos for battles/wars.
I knew there was going to br that comment, true.
Fog of war: On
Fun fact.
The city of New Amstetdam was defended by a big wall. But the British attacked from the sea. When they conquered the city and renamed it to New York, they also tore down the wall and reused the stones by building a street.
That street got the name "Wall Street".
Fun fact New York come from York and York is a city in England and the name York is from jordvik and jordvik in English is dirtbay and they got the name jordvik from Vikings

@@dylanmurphy9389 hahaha, NO
Yes, but that's because the Narrator 1st concentrates on South America. North America, as you can see, right from the Early 1500, it was the Brits and the French and a few decades later, Dutch. There was a lot going on in the northern continent, whilst Spanish Conquistadors, were Raping and pillaging in South America, But it was less murderous and intense.You just have to take an interest and reseearch. It - it was equally interesting, Britain and the France had colonialists, who became fur trappers, who actually lived amongst the Indian tribes, in the early years, and actually married in to those communities, which was much more cooperative and less divisive than the Spanish experience, which was far more "top-down" domination, and also part of the reason why the Spanish ended up causing so much resentment, which led to the early decline, of their empire.
I rremember that the Name of the French trappers, Living with the Indians were called "The Courious de bois". I remember reading about this and thinking this must have been the best time for everyone concerned, where life was hard, living off a hostile land, Without modern technology, right in the deep wild, but communication was relatively good and animosity limited, except between the British and French colonies, later when the symptoms of the 7 years War started simmering. Remember, the 1st settlers were pretty much left alone by the Crown and the people Were living a relatively free life, even though the risks were far higher, in an unpredictable sense
@@Rowlph8888 You should learn geography and know what North America covers. and you should ask yourself why there are so few indigenous people in Canada and the US. The English did not mix with the natives and marginalized them, while the Spanish mixed with the natives
@@DCDVassili Stop with your propaganda. You should try to learn the Difference between a "US citizen", post 1776 and a working class English settler, before the 7 years War (approx: 1575-1748). t's a matter-of-fact that the English crown, "refused" the settlers requests, who kept asking to be able to push to the west and Violate "Treaties" That had been agreed to, With the natives and were Honoured, by the British Crown. The Brits were there for 200 years, before the Americans independence, but still only maintained colonies on the eastern border. It Wasn't until after the "American Independence", That the Settlers Began (Under the Bullshit manifest destiny lie) began to Push into the West and Started Causing More Atrocities. So it's the opposite of what you are saying.
The original "working class", fur trapping colonialists, from Britain and france, wanted to escape the hegemony, of the crowns of theiir respective kingdoms and many did live, marry and trade, amongst the natives. With Regards to those Spanish exploiting and violating, I wasnt talking about the Spanish "working class", or settlers, I was talking about the Imperial "upper classes(Conquistadsors) that were sent there, who were causing the exploitation.The difference was that In the case of the original settlers forming from Britain and France, the Crowns, in those countries, were not so bothered about the new world, at that stage, as they had domestic issues.A bit later is when the Crown got involved and conflict Between Britain and France, started to be more severe, as a Kind of proxy war.
Also, there were far more losses amongst the indigenous in South than in North America.Even though the Spanish crown and many religious figures, wanted more peaceful indigenous contact, the Conquistadors, ddidn't honour those wishes and destroyed communities,, wherever they went, Stealing gold and taking it to Spain and reacting aggressively when the indigenous misunderstood and reacted ambiguously to attempted religious indoctrination.
Imagine travelling an unknown sea for countless days, only having heard stories and myths to then stumble upon land. What an amazing and also scary feeling that would of been
The Spanish were the first! Amazing Brave explorers!..
If I were the sailer of that boat sailing for weeks, I would be so scared I would rather die. Those are BRAVE people.
It would have been such a scary feeling for the natives too. Their near entire population being slaughtered and toyed with, having the species they most rely on for food brought to near extinction so they'd fall in line as well as having their culture, religion and languages brainwashed and literally whipped out of their children who were ripped from their parents at a young age, likely to never see them again. Such an amazing feeling...
@@magma7155it be like that
Not our fault they were still stuck in the stone age its survival of the fittest out here@@magma7155
Everyone at war over gold and land
The Portuguese: damn, sugar cane tastes good
Sugar was actually very rare and thus extremely expensive and although the video focuses more on how the European exploration influenced North America, with the discovery of the maritime route to India, Lisbon became one of the biggest cities in the world and Portugal became the richest country in the world because she dethroned the previous spice route.
Portugal continued to explore and to expand Brazil, but wood and sugar, despite lucrative, weren't gold, as you said. However gold was found in Brazil, eventually, which triggered a lot more interest in this colony.
Dutch: this nutmeg is good
The natives: 🗿🗿🗿
@@luisalmeida1391 Verdade.
@@luisalmeida1391 Portugal fell really behind because of the succession crisis that made it lose independence to Spain. 60 years was a lot of time during the peak of the age of exploration.
After it regained independence, recovered some territories and was still ver powerful but couldnt compete with the other powers anymore, so it just developed the existing colonies.
I just cannot fathom docking on a place like Florida without any prior knowledge of the land. That had to be such a unique human experience that may never be replicated. Like imagine living in 1500 Spain and seeing all of the trees and crocodiles and shit. That’s just so insane to me
@@HM-eg9hv my bad I guess. Regardless I would assume they hadn’t seen a crocodile/alligator in person before that
@@HM-eg9hv they have both
Actually the term Alligator comes from the Spanish explorers in Florida. Too lazy to look up the details but it’s pretty cool the theorize theses first contacts with other civilized societies.
@@Ziiphyr Yes, they called them el lagarto, the lizard, the French of Louisiana mispronounced it as aligator.
And running into Florida Man.
Great summary! Precision : European fishermen (Basques, Bretons, Normans, etc.) visited the Saint-Lawrence River through the 16th century, even before Jacques Cartier's claim for New France in 1534 ; this is one century before what is shown in this video. Also, important settlements in the New France area are omitted : Montréal (Ville-Marie, 1642), Détroit (1701), La Nouvelle-Orléans (1718), whereas a lot of settlements are shown in the 13 colonies.
IT'S NOT DISEASE OR VIRUS KILLED INDIAN, EUROPEAN GENOSIDE THE INDIAN !
I like how Columbus’s voyage only occurred because he was wrong about the circumference of the earth. The other monarchs had rejected funding his expedition precisely because their scholars knew perfectly well that the earth was round and roughly how large it was, and knew (correctly) that there was no way that the Indies could be within sailing distance going west.
Imagine living in a time where there were unknown lands on earth. Would've been epic

I always loved history and geography in school but I'm old so Maybe in my day it was more interesting. Although it's not fun knowing history in this day and age. It just leads to fights with anyone under 40 because they tend to not know anything.
It's not too late to enjoy history
@Storm Zaibot so you're saying that after tens of thousands of years of inter tribe war didn't end their civilization but then Europeans landed to " civilized " them and introduce diseases that literally killed hundreds of millions alone , not including the wars fought over someone else's land by European powers wasn't the reason suddenly they all went extinct or became tiny pockets of people still alive? Just a giant coincidence that it never happened before in all of existence for them till European people got involved. Hmmmm ok.
@Storm Zaibot well TH-cam decided to delete my response. Some of what younsay is true but much of what you say is wrong. Unfortunately TH-cam won't let me converse with you
Nice animation, I wish you had drawn more of the precolonial territories (other than aztecs and Incas). Would give a better idea of the complexity of the geography that was disturbed by the colonisation
What a brilliant video! Suddenly it's all clear as day. Great job. Thank you so much.
Spain reached Alaska in 1791, at that moment Spain ruled the whole Pacific coast of America, from cape of Horn in south Chile to Alaska cities like Valdez or Cordova
a few settlements and ports north of mexico means control over the entire pacific coast?
@@KentoKei the same for the british. Did the british directly controlled Canada, Australia and India? Of course not.
The important thing in America is that there are spanish names from the artic circle to the antartic circle, that's why spanish is the most spoken language in America.
The claim couldn't be enforced because you know, icy lands, as you said Spain built stetlements in the area, some explorers were sent to the area by the King Charles III of Spain just to explore the territory.
The thing is that Spain had a way more richer territories than British in Canada or Australia, most people don't know but Australia was discovered by spaniards as well as Canada and most people don't know why Canada is called Canada, spaniards named canada "Acá nada" that means "here nothing"
Why to claim an icy land where a penguin Will fell cold when you have the "Virreinato de Nueva España" which is the actual Mexico, Mexico is nowadays the country that produce the most silver and Peru is the second, How much petrol Venezuela has? How much iron latin america has? How much zinc latin america has?
Copper is used everywhere for electricity and Peru is the second country that produce more copper only behind China.

They never control cap Horn, he even tell it in the video.
@Weasel I’m pretty sure he said America, not just North America. North America has roughly 317 million English speakers and 121 million Spanish speakers, so yes. English is more in North America. But in South America, because he clearly said Arctic to Antarctic, there is 5.4 million English speakers and about 210 million Spanish speakers. The Caribbean, also apart of the Americas, is 64% Spanish, though i cant find a Spanish speaking population number that excludes islands already counted in north and South America. In Central America, there is an additional 32 million Spanish speakers. So that’s looking to be 360 million Spanish speakers to 322 million English speakers (I didn’t count the 400k English creoles speakers in Central America as I was avoiding too many decimals)
Spain really took a gamble with that meridian treaty when you think about it , they didnt knew how the continent shape was yet they decided the divide , they really could have ended up having the short stick
and they did. Gold was in brasil and north america, not so much in west south america, and + africa and unclamed asia....ya, Portugal won 100%
They actually lost a lot with that treaty, but there are motivations that come from the wars in north africa
@@ruicorreia6373 ?? El oro estaba en los territorios españoles, principalmente en el virreinato del Perú, no inventes cr7
@@ruicorreia6373 the gold was mostly in the Mayan, Inca empires and the continental land around the West Indies what today is modern day Colombia /Venezuela
They had an unbelievable luck because the Portuguese already knew that there was land over there as the Tordesillas treaty prove it. The Portuguese main focus was to keep the spice trade...
A simplification, but well presented. One part of the simplification that I can see is that it draws maps based on claims more than settlements. The French claims Western Newfoundland, yes, but they never had more than a few hundred in all of Newfoundland, and even those were in the North and South. Calling this a permanent settlement of the West is thus a stretch.
I really appreciate the role of the Catholic Church mentioned, though. There was a great internal fight in Spain over slavery

"Then, the Dutch revolt, and all the hipsters move to Amsterdam."
"Damn", said Amsterdam... "We gotta start pillaging some stuff!"
This completely ignores the northward Spanish expansion along the west coast of North America beginning in 1542 with Cabrillo's expedition. That is a HUGE hole in the story. Vizcaino came along 70 years later. Most of the place-names in coastal California are from that second expedition.
There was a lot missing but I think they wanted to do the highlights. A lot about the 13 colonies, France expansion, and early Spanish expeditions were missing.
Yet the video mentions irrelevant Drake expedition. Big Anglosaxon bias.
The U.S. always tries to sweep under the rug anything that can take away the legitimacy of their imperial expansion, conquest and thus ownership of the lands to the west of their 13 colonies.

Very concise! And the maps really help one visualize it.
Lots of context to the single encounter one knows (Columbus, Vasco da Gama..) - very cool, thanks!
I love the use of the black, unexplored areas of the map, kinda like it's in strategy games with the fog of War! It's interesting that the fog of war like its known in games is actually a real military theory (Clausewitz, 19th century), yet so many people connect it with games (which got the idea of it from the military theory as well).

You completely missed the mission of Don Tristan DeLuna which was sent by the then Governor. from Mexico in 1559 to establish a new colony in Ochuse, which is now Pensacola Florida. This was the first settlement in the land to become the USA. Had it not been for a hurricane Pensacola would have been the first city in the United States, 4 years before St Augustine
This is one of the best animations I've ever seen keep up the good work:) !
6:21 it was not just impresion by firearms and horses. These peoples were actually enemies of the Aztecs and saw their chance to win a war against them in an Alliance with the Spaniards.
correct
Good amplification, but in order to see a chance to win for such a small group of people you must first get really impressed by the things they bring with them, which was the point.
@@NicolasNombela from what I know the number of natives fighting against the Aztec was roughly the same as the number of Aztec warriors. The few Spaniards with limited ammo were just a small factor in the conflict, though they might have tipped the scale. The Spaniards had about 1% of the men that their allies had and most of th didn't have firearms, from what I know only a few dozen had them and firearms of the early 16th century weren't that much better than arrows.
Yes civilizations conquered by the aztecs like the toltekas that were usually enslaved and sacrified to keep in order.
@@rfvtgbzhnThe Spanish defeated the natives in the first place.
It's good that finally someone pays attention to the attempts by the Spanish kings to make all people in America equal (as the video says, not everybody liked or followed that, but that was the idea). However, the map does not show all of the Spanish territories in Europe.
I think that the good the did was solidly overshadowed by them being 100% responsible for the African slave trade

1:40 wrong, it was only the queen of Castille who authorized and paid for Columbus' expedition. Aragón had nothing to do, and thus the boats were sailing under Castilla's flag
The first germans, polish, czechs, flemish (belgians), swiss and maybe from other central european countries to set foot on continental mainland of New World was in 1529, so as to work as miners to search El Dorado in actual Venezuela . The leased colony by Emperor Charles V to the Augsburg banker family of Welser was called "Klein Venedig" and its capital Coro was named "Neu Augsburg", Maracaibo "Neu Nüremberg" and Cabimas o "Neu Ulm". Some expeditions inland departed from Coro and El Tocuyo (also given a german name as Tocuyothal) searching for El Dorado. "Klein Venedig" didn't last long though, this was due to both poor results and complaints from miners and locals, thus Emperor Charles V didn't renew the contract to the Welsers (bankers from Augsburg). Some very old and forgotten cemeteries in NW Venezuela may have some surnames still, no idea. This was at a time when the portuguese were still exploring lands which soon later became Brazil and the spanish just arriving to Cuzco and the River Plate. 🇩🇪🇻🇪 🤠👍
That's right the reasons of the Welser expeditions was to find Eldorado for that, they didn't make a culture legacy and now Maracaibo (The principal city than they created ) doesn't have nothing of germ an culture appart of the Tovar colony established in 1842. But in the Second World War with the germans emigration they build and reapairs so much of his old colonies these new villages start to buiding to equaty than in otrers countries like Peru, Brasil, Chile, Uruguay and Argentina that's when they finally make a legacy in that's countries (Culture legacy). sorry for the fails in the coment, my english is not very nice .

Being part of Castile like this is right.
The name of Spain did not exist at that time. The name of Spain was born in 1876
Also, when Columbus brought some natives back, the Catholic Queen Isabel ordered him to release them
The Catholics, the Queen and the priests were super worried about the wellbeing of the natives. They held conferences and agreed they were not barbarians but humans with soul and dignity. The conquistadors on the other hand were businessmen of war and they often clashed with the church due to the mistreatment of natives, and generally ignored the laws that protected natives.
In any case, by far the worse enemy of the natives were the viruses they had no defenses against.
This seems like a big bunch if BS to me, especialy taught bythe Spanish educational system. Learn anything about the actual story of my people in south america. Their concept of "evangelization" required the suppresion of people's humanity, slavery, genocide, and rape.
Just read about El Requerimiento of 1513 in which it was declared that Spain had the right to do whatever they wanted with the natives. Not only could they do it legally, but morally as well, being endorsed by the catholic church
@@s.w.stryker6491 as long as they were converted to Christianity. Furthermore, the University of Salamanca had a quarrel arguing if they were capable of knowing the concept of Property, for if they did, their lands couldn't be taken. That meant some native tribes converted to Christianity and kept their lands and form of government, giving in return a part of their harvest. Furthermore, mixing was encouraged. It's a way of conquest similar to what the Roman empire did.
Compare it to Locke's idea of property for the conquest, where he said that only those who worked the fields could be considered owners (a theory made ad hoc for the British conquest of north America, for there was a majority of nomad tribes). That meant when the British started expanding and working the fields, they were legally abide to kill and exterminate every native tribe that entered their lands, as they weren't considered owners, but invaders.
As a result you have a few natives alive in the US and Canada and a majority of the population mixed from Mexico to the southernmost part of the Spanish Empire
@Angel_Gomez Any historical record that proves this? Because everywhere I've looked disproves any sort of reasoning like that. Also, even if it's true that some of their rights are protected if they are converted to Christianity, how do you think the locals were compelled to be converted? How were they compelled to be mixed if not forced into "grape"? Read about the story of any of the countries of my people and see how many chose it was so very nice of the spanish to come sack them, so much so that they willingly change their religion to theirs, and ho much they let them keep their lands for it. Look at any distribution of the population even today in any of those countries and you'll see that the great majority of wealth stayed through the centuries in the household of Spanish Last Names, and caucasian looking people. I wonder why, if the natives had so many rights
Admirable account! I like the way that unexplored areas remain black. As the pioneers found new coasts, they did not know what lay inland, of course. This presentation portrays that vividly.
17:09 In 1741, the English attempted to take over the Spanish port of Cartagena de Indias in today's Colombia, which was vital seaport for the commerce during Imperial Spain. Over 25,000 English men commanded by Admiral Edward Vernon were defeated by 3,000 Spanish men (American and European) led by Don Blas de Lezo. Before the final outcome of the war was known, King George II of England had minted coins showing Blas de Lezo on his knees before Lord Vernon. When the King found out his troops had been defeated, he ordered to destroy the coins and forbade nobody talked about the matter again.
By the way, Don Bernardo de Gálvez won back the whole of Lousiana and all of the Florida for Spain in 1783. He defeated the British troops and expelled them entirely from the gulf of Mexico. Simultaneously, he secured a supply route for George Washington's men through the Mississippi river. Frankly, the U.S. owe Imperial Spain their independence and more.
@SUTTYMCFC If you can't find this information is because you're lacking a sound research ability.
Funny that you mention the armada because, guess what? The English made medals to commemorate the failure (Not Defeat) of the Spanish Armada which bore the phrase in Latin: "Flavit Jehovah et Dissipati Sunt". "Yahweh blew and they were scattered". I'm absolutely sure that had the English naval fleet actually defeated the Spanish Armada, a completely different phrase would've been minted on those medals. LOL
@SUTTYMCFC No excuse - With or without diarrhea (Caused by tropical yellow fever), the result was shitty for the English.
1:10 The Portuguese rejects the project because they recognized the Columbus calculations are probably incorrect. Which actually were, Columbus calculated with wrong length of the ancient length unit "stadium" and he suppose Asia is half distance than it actually was.
Plus they were focused on reaching India and well on their way, ahead of everyone else. They actually did it, contrary to many others, and for a few years ruled the Indian Ocean and controlled the Spice Trade becoming the World's Richest Nation for a small period of time (about 60 years). The Iberian Union, though, brought that edge down...
The Portuguese didn't reject Columbus because his calculations were incorrect. They rejected him because he wanted to explore and tell the world what he would find during his voyages, but Portugal already knew that there was a large land (America) between Europe and Asia and they didn't want other countries to know of it. Obviously they didn't know the size of it, but they did know that Columbus would find it and quickly spread word of it to all europe. The fact that Brazil was "officially" discovered by Portugal in the year 1500, means that the portuguese already knew of it's existence way before Columbus found America, and decided to make their claim to Brazil official.
Go back to your bacalhao
Portugal já conhecia as Américas antes de Colombo.
A esposa de Colombo era portuguesa Felipa Moniz Perestrelo, filha de Bartolomeu Perestrelo.
Bartolomeu aprendeu a navegar com o Infante D. Henrique de Portugal que foi o precursor da navegação portuguesa.
O Pai e os Irmãos de Felipa já sabiam da existência de terras além do Atlântico, mas uma segunda rota não seria bom para os portugueses.
Detalhe: Fernão de Magalhães, capitão que descobriu a segunda rota das índias e batizou o oceano pacífico também era português.

At 7:06 there's a mistake. Cortes allied with the adversaries of the Aztecs long before the siege of Tenochtitlan.
true
There a lot of mistakes in the video, Portugal had colonies in Labrador and Newfoundland long before the British or Columbus.

There was a portuguese colony in Canada called Terra do Lavrador, latter Labrador. Unfortunately it was not mentioned =\
It was terrenova that means new land in portuguese
Yes, and the expansion of Brazil resulting from the gold and silver rush in the late 17th century is not mentioned here.
The Portuguese found more gold in Brazil in 30 years (1690 - 1720) than the Spanish found in the previous 200 years in America, and it allowed Brazil to become the most profitable colony in the Americas by 1720, and King John V to become the King with more gold in the world. It really should have been mentioned. It gave Portugal a considerable amount of power in South America.
E tambem a terra Nova dos bacalhaus

This video is made by an englishman, the bias its obvious. You can see him struggling to bend facts at some points.
When Cortes was expulsed and drived away from Tenochtitlan, he and his 500 men were chased by the aztecs. Heading northeast, they allied with 1000 tlaxcalan warriors, but then they were catches up by the huge aztec army. Althoug it is not clear, it is estimated this army was around 10000 men. By using tercio defensive tactics, eficent and unknown by their enemies, the spanish and their tlaxcala allies resistes as they could, but they were too much outnunmered. Then, Cortes took the horses and with 50 men charged to the aztec general, the son (or nephew) of Moctezuma, who unwisely already was celebrating victory. This charge was so succesfull, that passed through aztec lines with easy (aztecs werent used to resist chavalry charges and their spears werent made to fight horses, obviously) and got to the general guards. Killing their leader and watching the tremendous charge, aztec army started reatriting caoticly. And that is how the first battle of the conquest of Mexica occured and was won by spaniards.

hmm the spanish claimed many things, you can't believe anything they wrote. they always downplayed the role of their alies, which were in fact their main forces... besides they never talked about the many times they lost. For example...it took the spanish 100 years to conquer the Incas and the Incas had already defeated a Portuguese expedition before the Spanish got in contact with them. And the Spanish were lucky because the Incas were in the last stages of a civil war when the Spanish arrived.
That doesn't seem like a story that a lot of historians would take at face value.
@@victorfergn It was actually the Black Legend, a defamation campaign carried by the English and Dutch, which downplayed the role of Spain's allies in order to make Spain look atrocious in the eyes of other countries and fortunes, so they could attract investments and pay for expeditions and wars. In Spain, we are taught in basic history about the relationships between the explorers and conquistadores with the natives. Therefore, we are well aware Spain conquered America taking advantage of American internal conflicts, convenient alliances, disease and climate disasters. Not doing it that way would have result in a disaster. This knowledge can be achieved by common sense and a basic understanding of history. Spanish history is far from being as edulcorated as the English, which is proven to be highly dramatized and full of fallacies by academics and scholars from all over the world, even prestigious English historians such as Hugh Thomas or J. H. Elliott.
It's important to engage with diverse viewpoints and interpretations, including those from scholars of different nationalities, to gain a broader understanding of historical events and their implications.

I'm just glad we managed to keep away colonization for such a long time. The Americans tried to force us open like they did with Japan, but we didn't give in. They tried to make their way to Pyongyang and we managed to destroy their ship and eliminate its crew. This became known as the General Sherman incident. But when Japan tried to do it, they played tricks and did it well. The Kingdom of Joseon signed a treaty with Japan in 1876. This eventually led to Korea becoming a part of the Japanese sphere after the First Sino-Japanese War as the protectorate of the Korean Empire, and then outright annexed
Excellent. Really lays things out plainly.

No, not amazing. The Russians when they began they were also very small. The same goes for all empires. Given that Portugal was the most western European point, it made sense to search west or round Africa to get to China and overcome the terrestrial blockade of the Ottomans.

@@ottovestergaardjack362 Yes there is evidence the Vikings got to North America. However, for some reason or other such journeys led nowhere. Why?
@@jesusbermudez6775 Yes, amazing, because Portugal had a population of 1 million people, whilst Spain had 7 million, England had 10 million, France 14 million and the Dutch 2 million, and still, Portugal managed to finance most of the maritime expeditions done at the time;

13:27 Some inaccuracies in your maps - FYI: Coastal Nicaragua never officially became an English territory, and Belize aka British Honduras, was not formally recognized as a British territorial possession until July 8th, 1893, when Mexico along with the UK established territorial limits. It is well known that during the times of Imperial Spain, despite constant English piracy presence in that area of what today is Belize, the Spanish Crown, through its Viceroy in the New Spain (Mexico), built the Fort of San Felipe de Bacalar, which deterred English pirates settlements. The Fort is a phenomenal architectural military prowess built in 1725, and still can be visited.
The coast that is now Belize became de facto British by the mid 18th C. Britain formally appointed governorship in 1786. It was formally declared a colony in 1862. Spain and Mexico disputed much of this, but not all. The Mariscal-Spencer Treaty in 1897 ended all territorial disputes between UK and Mexico over the area.
@@chriswatson79651786 is definitely not mid 18th C.
Even "BRITANNICA" - An English biased source, clearly states:
"British buccaneers (pirates) and logwood cutters (more pirates) settled on the inhospitable coast in the mid-17th century. Spain regarded the British as interlopers (pirates) in their territory. By treaties signed in 1763 and 1783, Spain granted British subjects (pirates) the privilege (a bone) of exploiting logwood and, after 1786, the more valuable mahogany (another bone), though only within specified and poorly surveyed territories. Indeed, SPAIN RETAINED SOVEREIGNTY over the area, which Britain called a settlement (piracy in action), as distinct from a formal colony".
Then it goes on: "Belize became the British colony of British Honduras in 1862-which was ruled by a governor who was subordinate to the governor of Jamaica-and a crown colony in 1871, when the Legislative Assembly was abolished'.
Long story short, by the time your "Royal Piracy of Britain" finally put her act together and formally established a shitty colonial government on the coast of what today is Belize, all Hispanic America had become independent from Imperial Spain (circa 1810), whatever happened next in the 1800s, is as phony as your previous comment on "de facto" British settlement in the mid 18th C.
"Source" : www.britannica.com/place/Belize/Early-history
@@durandal1909 No 1786 is not mid 18thC. British settlers had been logging there since 1710, and largely left alone to their own devices by the Spanish. What you have posted is identical to what I posted.
@@chriswatson7965 No, it isn't identical. For that matter, Spanish Basque fishermen were already fishing in the St. Lawrence river before Jacques Cartier "discovered" it in 1534 in present-day Quebec, Canada; but I don't say it "became de facto Spanish by the mid 16th C.
@@durandal1909 So what's the difference? With regards your example of Basque fishermen.
a) it's perfectly reasonable if you wish to describe the st lawrence river as de facto spanish, as it is reasonable not to. There is no one right answer. I have responded to you claiming that the video was wrong. It's not, it's one reasonable presentation out of many
b) what you describe as de facto or not doesn't come into it. The video hasn't been set up for your world view
c) de facto "ownership" of a piece of land usually requires i) actually being on the land, not in the water ii) using the land for a commercial purpose iii) having a set of rules that governs the use of that land. The st lawrence river example doesn't have any of those examples, the honduras example does. In honduras settlers used English law, not Spanish law.
d) Spain didn't really even exist in 1534. It was essentially still a personal union of crowns. Spain is usually considered to have started to exist at the start of the union for the sake of convenience (there being no other suitable start point). 15th C Basque fishermen would not have considered themselves to be Spanish, or under Spanish law
e) the St Lawrence river was considered to be Spanish by Spain after the Treaty of Tordesillas in 1494.
Just one point I didn't see in map.
Spain is also between 16's-17's centuries Países Bajos (Netherlands, Belgium, Louxembourg-after that Provinces United) and other territories in center of Europe.
Some territories remain aswell in North and South America as California or Alaska.
Part of England is well done, I think.
Anyway, it's a nice job seeing maps wit black uknown parts.

The man who bought Manhattan was Pierre Minuit (Pieter Minnewit), he was a calvinist of walloon origins, a lot of the first settlers in Manhattan were walloons. (The colony itself was of course Dutch.)
Again the American nonsense about the purchase of Manhatten. It was bought for 60 guilders in goods, not specified but things like axes and copper kettles were in demand by the natives. It's probably almost like a half year's wages for a skilled craftsman, which were very well paid in the Dutch Republic and shipping it over an ocean wasn't free either, so not such a bad deal for the natives.
There's more BS in the video. Of course the Dutch protestants didn't flee Europe in fear of catholicism. The Dutch Republic of the Seven United Provinces had religous tolerance, and was led by protestants. It was at war with Spain because it had declared independence from Spain in 1581 because they wanted religious tolerance.
So the Dutch Republic didn't take advantage of the Iberian Union, they got a bigger enemy to fight. They took to war to the oceans because Spain was using it's colonial profits and the Portugese to finance the 80-years war against the Dutch Republic.
Poorly researched video
@@DenUitvreter The supposed religious tolerance was but a poor excuse and the main argument of the Flemish rebels for independence from the Habsburg empire. In fact, the Protestant Reformation was never born as a demonstration against the abuses of the Catholic Church for its illicit enrichment, but was born as a political argument to break with Rome, which was the one who gave divine legitimacy to the emperors and kings. That was the foundation of the Protestant break and the commission that Luther received to initiate that break by Flemish nobles and some German princes. Denying the legitimacy of the emperor, breaking with the Habsburg house, becoming independent from the empire and incidentally ... appropriating all the assets of the Church (the other main argument).
The religious question? Of course, against everything the Dutch and British have said for centuries, Philip II was a religious guy, but he didn't give a shit about Dutch or English Protestantism. He had in fact proposed to the very Protestant Elizabeth I of England without seeming to care too much that the rite was also performed by a Protestant bishop. What did bother him was the Flemish rebellion that he considered a true betrayal against the legitimate monarch, and also the help that this one obtained from the English.
The religious changes were due exclusively to a mixture of political and economic interests. Exactly the same as in England. The religious question as a theological fact, perhaps the illiterate citizen cared about something (I don't think so), but the political leader did not. That's for sure. Everything was political intricacies to get more shares of power, more property and more money.
Centuries of propaganda have tarnished a good part of what many people today still consider to be history. Little by little we will clean it.
Spanish colonization gets a bad reputation, but the truth is that, until the early 18th century at least, the Spanish American colonies were far richer and more prosperous than the North American English colonies for example . It would be interesting if viewers here could comment on that.
To me, the worst colonizers in America were actually the French. Haiti is probably the poorest country in the Americas today and the French settlement colonies in North America (Acadia, Canada and Louisiana) were mostly underpopulated and underdeveloped. I think the Portuguese were not much better either, but colonial Brazil at least had some periods of economic boom with sugar production in the 17th century (temporarily under Dutch control) and mining in the 18th century. Brazil was, however, also underdeveloped compared to Spanish America and only took off when the Portuguese court moved to Rio de Janeiro.
Really? Think again and ask any Inca or Astec descendents what they think about the Spanish! Development? Yeah! All that gold and silver from the indigenous lands....
In America the French didn't colonized the same way English or Spanish did, they were there to trade most of the time and didn't settled near as much nor expelled or killed the native.
LoL dude Columbus didn't die in America like you said, he was jailed by the Spanish kings for making slaves from the indigenous people and for brutality towards them (which was forbidden by law in the kingdom), and years later he retired and died in Spain.
EXCELLENT SUMMARY. Well done!

Not the first or the last conquest in history, even down to a tribal level every people on this planet at some point conquested another with very limited exceptions. Even among US native American tribes who regularly fought over territory like every other group of people in history. Its one of those things that in history was either good or bad depending on which side of the march you were on and if that group was an ally or not. In this case we are still relatively close to the period in which the conquest happened. And, have as a general direction as a nation Stopped warring with neighboring entities to gain territory as we at least try to take a more moral path.
It would also be interesting to note that globally the nations of the world have changed several times since the first settlers arrived in the Americas. Look at what was once Persia, then you can go to Napoleon, and even the British who gallivanted the 7 seas like pirates claiming everything that wasn't tied down or strong enough to defend its self. The best of all has to be the back and forth between Japan, China, and Korea with some nearly unbelievable events that wouldn't be out of place in a fantasy novel or action movie. Fleets downed multiple times by sudden storms. Armies, figures of resistance, mob rule, and even a time when every small state in Japan its self was in conflict with at least one other.
Its hard to see how we are like any other animal but when you look at the history of man you see that its been as any other natural struggle which is always morally ambiguous and necessary for the persistent growth of the species.
It gets so personal, so tribal to so many. But that was a beautiful, sober overview of world struggles. We are all, after all, people. Vicious and merciful. Powerful and meek. We are all just people.
Yeah but the descendants of those people aren't in power like the Spanish, British, Americans, French, etc. All those families of native american conquerers and their institutions are dead and forgotten, on the other hand the descendants of the European conquerors are still millionaires and their institutions are still in power. Literally the families of many of the kings and queens that conquered the world are still the heads of those states.... name me one native american family who conquered any piece of land and keeps being the head of state of a country. THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE, so the pathetic excuse of 'conquering is the nature of the human being' makes no damned sense in the real world.

In the beginning you are missing a large chunk of what is now Canada. A whole Viking village was discovered in the 1960's in L'Anse Aux Meadows Newfoundland matching the Viking Sagas. The sites had been dated as being from the 990's - 1020 C.E. Artifacts have been discovered in Tanfield Valley Baffin Island which also match the Sagas. Therefore your map is not accurate. We've known for 60 years the Norse visited Newfoundland, Baffin Island and according to their description: most likely Nova Scotia.
