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.

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]

@@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.

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.

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.

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 .

@@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

[@s.w.stryker6491]

@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.

[@DenUitvreter]

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

[@pulsarplay5808]

@@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.

@Jesus Bermudez 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; en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_maritime_explorers Portugal financed around 50, whilst Spain for instance, only 10.

[@Omerath9]

@Jesus Bermudez What a ridiculous claim. First of all, the Portuguese maritime explorations began decades before the fall of Constantinople, and I fail to understand how developing the first ever maritime technology in history for inter oceanic navigation, and being the people on Earth who established the highest number of maritime routes not being amazing. How many other nations on Earth had coasts and didn't even establish one maritime route? Seems like you are prettily trying to downplay the Portuguese maritime achievements, which is unsurprising, given your Spanish surname.

[@Omerath9]

@Jesus Bermudez Spain, France and England have bigger Atlantic coasts than Portugal. The age of exploration could have started there, it didn't. Africa and Asia had countless coastal kingdoms, it could have started there, it didn't. Japan could have found the sea route to Europe, they didn't. Congo could have found the sea route to India, they were closer to it than Portugal, as well as any other western African country, they didn't. India could have found the sea route to Europe, they didn't. And I could go on and on. Your argument is nonsensical Portugal began the age of maritime exploration because it was the first country in the world to have the technological capability of doing so. Could have been countless other regions on Earth, in much better geographic positions than Portugal, but it wasn't. What Portugal did was indeed amazing. At a time when the ENTIRE world thought that interoceanic travel was impossible, as well as the Atlantic and Indian Ocean being closed oceans, the Portuguese were the first to prove that wrong. Geographic position meant nothing, considering the amount of countries on Earth that had much better coasts, in much better positions, than Portugal. It had nothing to do with geography, but rather TECHNOLOGY. I suggest you take the time to read up a bit more.

[@BucyKalman]

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.
