@@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.

Everyone at war over gold and land The Portuguese: damn, sugar cane tastes good

[@luisalmeida1391]

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

@@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.

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.

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.

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.

[@cleess2836]

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...

[@falmin2512]

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.

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.

[@panner11]

That doesn't seem like a story that a lot of historians would take at face value.

[@JC-uv1zy]

​@@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.

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 .

Occasionally we would have skirmishes, but the Taino never were a fighting people. We had no reason to be bloodthirsty. Caribs however lived on the smallest islands in the Antilles. So, they often ran low on resources and were jealous of the Tainos. Back and forth until Columbus showed up....

We don't have many weapons of war and arrows/clubs/shields designed for extensive conflict with the Caribs. The pottery, the village designs and the defenses all point to a peaceful people who only hunted inland and fish by the sea. There were no major sites where battles took place and extensive violence until after Columbus. History is built on archaeological records and physical records, spiritual decorations and the oral traditions of our ancestors. You have a very bigoted view on Native Americans and worse you assume all humanity was as violent and as cruel as your ancestors. Sure, some were, not all. Not every human nation was as violent or as cruel as you imagine. It was about degrees of violence to nonviolent societies depending on the place and the era discussed.
