Brits and Spanish did have more points in common when we start looking deeper in history... Sadly, when you decided to cut ties with Rome the relations really went south maybe too much and even out of proportion at times... Hope we can get along better and reconcile some historical issues. As for England/Britain place in european culture we tend to think that, just as her iconic climate conditions, it is kind of a mysterious land of seclusion and mist... also doing her own thing.

The Spanish Empire was not a colonial empire such as the English, French or Dutch, but on the contrary, it was the last empire of the ancient type, closer to what Rome or Greece were. 300-400 years of domain based on miscegenation, alphabetization and conversion of different peoples; construction of universities, cathedrals and cities worldwide; a huge cultural and artistic explotion; deliberation of new phylisophic, teologic and juridic debates in human history (like f.e., if all humans were equal); discoverments that changed the conception of the world; opening of new shipping routes; creation of an undefeated infantry for 2 centuries; expansion of the Hispanic culture throughout the Atlantic and Pacific ocean (called "the spanish lake" at that time) as Rome did throughout the Mediterranean... All of this, in a world as big as the one we know today, but using a technology from 5 centuries ago. From there onward, european empires had a colonial model based on mercantilism, slavery, and large-scale production, creating factories or plantations in overseas possessions, instead of a civilizing reproduction of their society. The former were a global market, the latter a global kingdom. European empires shouldnt be generalized by the fact of having overseas territories, because not all of them were the same.

[@Notimportant253]

While you couch it in cozy language and are whitewashing the hell out of this, you have a point; Spanish colonialism different from Portuguese, English or French colonialism in some ways. That being said Japan tried to do the exact same thing to the various peoples of the far east during its imperial age, and we had to invent the most destructive weapon ever manufactured to stop them. Regardless of how gently or zealously you r*pe a nation, or regardless of the tools employed to supplant their culture, your still r*ping it.

You want history of Brazil? Well here it is. Brazil became big because there was no GPS to see where you were, in either Portuguese jungle or Spanish jungle. For Portugal history, why reinvent the wheel again, just watch Spain History and voilá. 😎

To me is the greatest empire ever. The Roman Empire was to Europe what Spanish was/is to the World. Tell me one world empire that built entire cities with its hospitals, cathedrals, university,castles, palaces,etc...? Even In Manila, Philippines you can feel being part of a Spanish peninsula city in his old town....

[@nezhadzhong]

Muslims created and invented University, Hospitals etc...

[@Souliban]

@@nezhadzhong yes sure...only one subject: Coran...🤣

[@nezhadzhong]

@@Souliban Boy, The university was founded in Fez in Marocco, Hospitals were founded in other Muslim countries, Muslims also invented surgery, Al-razi was also the best medical man, known till this day we use many of his idea's. Don't cry because your roman empire only created nothing lol, Palaces were already founded, Cathedrals is something Christian, castles were also founded. Roman Empire did nothing

[@Souliban]

@@nezhadzhong that bullshit is what they are telling you at school? Egipcyans were doing surgery thousand years before. Marroco didn't exist yet when Spain built the first University in America....🤷🏻‍♂️

(Super excited and happy there's a whole playlist and more lol) love the way this guy narrates and how the content is properly researched and laid out, usually videos like these would have biased truth and history toward the current rulers and what not but this channel really collects its info from various sources and explains thoroughly. thank ya'll and cheers!

To add a couple of notes : - Before the Iberians, between the 12th century and the 5th century BC, on the south coast of the Iberian Peninsula, at the mouth of the Guadalquivir river existed a Civilization called Tartessos, who where influenced by the Phoenicians and later by the Greek who were stablished in the Eastern Coast of the peninsula. - When the romans first arrived to Spain, apart from the Vacones in the northern part, there were 3 more tribes in the basque territories, in today's Cantabria there where the Cantabri, in today's Asturias there where the Astures who formed the kingdom of Asturias after some centuries, and in today's Galicia. After de Cantabrian wars (29-19 BC), all the tribes of the North, except the vascones, disappeared. - In today's Portugal, there where the Lusitanians, where influenced by the celts like the tribes of the north, and fought against the carthaginians (208-201 BC) and the romans (193 - 139 BC) - When the arabics invaded Spain, the northern part of Spain, except Galicia remained uninvaded
