A Quick History of Spain

Please vote for the next video: www.strawpoll.me/15628693
Spain is probably one of the most influential countries in human history, being the birthplace of one of the most widely spoken languages and being the country to fund Columbus' mission, that would eventually end up with him (re)discovering the New World. In this video, I talk about Spanish history for about 14 minutes.

Aside from loosing a couple of vowels, what did it change? Muslim occupation in the north was little, only by the rulers (never got to mix with the locals) and for a small period of time. Every Arab DNA trait north of Toledo is acquired around the XV century when they were prosecuted, and through the Turkish ransaks afterwards. Also, most of Muslim south spain were locals that converted... After Alfonso X any language other than ladino was prohibited in the territory. So, aside from the elites, (which introduced A Lot of culture around music, architecture, history, medicine and agriculture) what exactly did they change?

[@lucasv.7658]

Your video is very well done and very good regarding historical facts and I also thank you for your compliments to my country. But I can’t help but feel your version of our history is very British, even if you don’t sound British. -1st you name the Inquisition and Expulsion of the Jews as if it was unique to Spain and very relevant to our history. Half of Europe had inquisitions (many of them with more executions) and most of Europe expelled the Jews, it’s not that relevant to our history, at least not as much as other things you didn’t mention (the battle of Lepanto for example or even the Spanish Ar,ada if you prefer one loved by the British). And it wasn’t unique to Spain, any of that. Only the British are that obsessed with the “Spanish Inquisition”, so much they can’t even help making jokes about it 500 years after. -2nd the Spanish war of succession was by no means a British-Austrian victory, that is a very twisted way to present it as a British victory. The French prince became king of Spain, just the outcome should be proof enough of what kind of victory it was for the other side. Italy for Austria, Gibraltar and Florida for Britain were consolation prices to the losing side that they got thanks to Britain withdrawing after Austria got Germany. Yes, Britain accepted a French prince to be crowned king of Spain because they were fighting for the Austrian prince and he became king of Germany, obviously the British lost interest in putting more money and resources seeing that either way Spain would have a strong ally in Europe, but they didn’t win any war, their enemy, France, got into an alliance with another enemy, Spain after they fought a war to stop it, it’s a defeat from any unbiased position. -3rd Spain didn’t build an empire on African and American slavery. The empire was built on exploration and conquest, power was fuelled by the benefits of that conquest which were trade and exploitation of resources. That claim is a broad exaggeration, it’s as if I said Americans built their economy on Middle Eastern oil taken through war. No, the economy is much more than that, only a rival would make such claim about the US, like the British with Spain. Spain didn’t use Africans in any near amount to any other colonial power and natives had legal protection, they couldn’t be “enslaved”, of course there were other ways to treat them pretty much like slaves, but be careful with making such broad, imprecise statements clearly coming from one background. -4th I am Castilian, my mother is Galician, my father Castilian, my cousins Catalan, one of my great-grandparents was Basque. I understand you don’t know (nor have to know) some of Europe’s regional uniquenesses. Am I multicultural? No, my Galician great-grandfather was completely against decentralisation and my Castilian one was pretty much in favour, the most nationalist person I know is a Catalan friend... and I am proof that ethnic groups you mention are not ethnic groups, I have Castilian, Catalan, Basque and Galician ancestry and probably many more ancestries from other regions that I don’t know, the most common surname in all of Spain is García including Catalonia and the Basque region. There’s NO ethnic group, these movements are political movements that exist all over Europe since the 19th century with the Romantic cultural movement, they have nothing to so with ethnicity and they use language as a tool, not a cause. Catalan was rescued by Pompeu Fabra from oblivion when less than 15% of Catalans spoke it and promoted in schools since then by politicians. Romance languages formed when Latin was lost into dialects spoken by uneducated native speakers that remained in their villages for generations. *They were standardised by the authorities of that time during the middle ages, so Romance languages match medieval kingdoms, not ethnic groups. France and Italy have a dozen of regional languages in their respective territories too, the only difference is their policies were to eliminate them and ours were to let them be promoted. I know many people match language to ethnic group, but here in Latin Europe languages match medieval kingdoms who standardised their Latin dialect.*

Sorry for the late response. 1. Ofc other countries also had inquisitions and expulsions, but I still thought I had to mention it. Many Jews especially fled Spain and settled in other regions greatly changing the demographic makeup of regions all over Europe 2. I based the video on my own sources but ofc there's always room for historical debate 3. Definitely true. Did I really say they solely based their empire on those things? I'd be the first to dispute that. European colonisation between 1500 and 1900 was about much more than just slavery and evil. 4. That's a tricky subject with a lot of agendas playing a role. I just referred to these different linguistic (and maybe cultural) groups as ethnic groups because I thought it would make the Catalan/Galician/Basque (etc) viewers more satisfied.

[@ruiworthington1034]

It is inaccurate to use a modern day concept that refers to a country (Spain) and use it in a context in which at the time it was only geographical. The catholic monarchs were not kings of Spain. They were kings of Castile and Aragon, both of which independent kingdoms ruled in personal union. This implies a sense of unity that didn't exist at the time. A Castilian was a foreigner in Aragon and an Aragonese was a foreigner in Castile. This was evidenced when Castile tried to politically unify the territory in a way that would mirror the political setup in France. Aragon was in disagreement to this as it wished to stay in personal union, which triggered the war of Spanish succession. Only after that in 1716 was the kingdom of Spain established.

[@pascualeb]

That's pretty inaccurate. All Spanish kings after 1516 called themselves Kings of Spain. Even if Castile and Aragon were ruled under a personal union that doesn't mean we can't talk about Spain as a country (of course it wasn't a state the way it is today). Spain was a geographical term, but it wasn't only that. Assuming that would be even more inaccurate. Spain, as a politic concept had already existed by the time of the arrival of the Muslim to Spain (Rex Hispaniae) and that idea was somehow preserved (Restauratio) in the Christian kingdoms through the next centuries.

I appreciate taking the time to do the video. But you have many inconsistencies. And the one that bothers me the most is saying that the Spanish conquest was based on slavery. And that's what's always has been said about Spain. But the truth is that the treatment of indigenous and black people in Spanish America was way way better that the treatment done by the British in North America. And one proof of this is that Spanish people mixed with indigenous and black people in the Americas, and they gave them a status in society, and rights. Contrary to what happened in North America, where British killed most of the indigenous inhabitants, and the few left were gathered and confined in small territories with no rights, and with prohibited contact with the whites. And the same was with the black people. So bad, that up until the second half of the twentieth century most of the blacks were still separated from the whites, and had less rights. Up until the 1960's! What a shame!!. On the contrary, blacks in Brazil, Cuba, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, and the hole Latin America, were treated as equals even since the beginning of the nineteenth century. That's why, we can say that the British and American power gained with colonization was based on slavery and genocide, and that was not the case with Spain.

[@rydyly1734]

Also desease killed most of the original inhabitants, which was unintentional because no one knew what a germ was back then.

[@grandadan]

I totally agree with you: In north america they killed almost every single indian and they didn't destroy any city just because there was nothing to destroy, In north america they were not so civilised as in the center or south they were. The prouve is clear: Much more Indians or even countries were most of them ar american natives. Nothing compared to the massive destruction of the native people and system in North America.

[@violetarios7956]

How is being better than other slavers make one a non-slaver? You should go to Latinoamerica before making an opinion.

[@fernandogarcia3957]

@@violetarios7956 Excuse me? Latin America, as the French succeded in naming it, the native inhabitants were not slaves, the Spanish law treated them as subjects, as in Spain we were, hermana. The encomienda system was a communality where the disintegrated peoples and villages (due to the contagious diesases) could stablish themselves after the fall of the Mexican Empire and the Inca one. They were educated as Christians and many of them preferred that to the subjugation by the Aztecs. Those are facts. No me los invento. If you refer to the African people who were kidnapped and made into slaves, it was in the XVIII century, and yes it happened, mostly in the XIX century in Cuba, but for the vast majority of time there was litle to no slavery in the Hispanic territories. Those were more like servants and were trated better, for example no sibling beteween slaves was a slave. No one was born slave under the Spanish Monarchy. ¡Saludos!

I love your videos, but would suggest that you speak a bit more slowly. You offer such an abundance of valuable information but it flows so quickly that it becomes confusing. I then have to rewind or watch the entire video again and again. If you are concerned about the length of your videos, please don’t. They would be more effective if you allowed time for the info to penetrate. THANK YOU

Excellent Video !!! Very Informative.. there is no doubt that Mughal rule in India faced stiff resistance at different periods from the great RAJPUT warriors, fierce AHOMS warriors from Assam & from Punjab the brave SIKHS warriors... Rightly did the great Hindi Poet Bhushana, who forsook the royal favours of the Mughal court to come over to Shivaji to record his glories, he sang :-“काशी की कला जाती, मथुरा की मसजीद बनती, अगर शिवाजी ना होते तो सबकी सुन्नत होती.” meaning : (Had not there been Shivaji, Kashi would have lost its culture,Mathura would have been turned into a mosque and all would have been circumcised.) If not for Shivaji and the Marathas, there would have existed a continuous Islamic belt from Morocco to Indonesia. What addition of 1 billion more adherents to Islam would have done to the world power balance or what would have happened to Indian legacy like yoga, ayurveda, music, art and philosophy, is not difficult to guess…. It is worthwhile examining the 'what if' of Indias history, Aurengzeb, Akbars great great grandson, had embarked on the 'Islamisation' of India. The Marathas, inspired by Shivaji, fought Aurengzeb and saved India from following the fate of Persia. The proof of Maratha victory lies in the fact that Aurengzeb lies buried, not in Lahore /Delhi or Agra , but near Aurangabad in good old Maharashtra... Indian history before Shivaji's advent reads like a chronicle of military disasters. Shivaji changed all that. He used Guerilla Tactics very effectively. Shivaji, as a great warrior & visionary laid a strong and solid foundation that after his death in 1680, there was a series of battles fought between Marathas and Mughals from 1681 to 1707 known as 'War of 27 years' and ended with the death of Aurangzeb in 1707. The Marathas eventually emerged victorious and consolidated their lost territories. This was further expanded by the Peshwas. The Maratha empire reached its peak in summer of 1758 with the conquest of Attock, which is banks of Indus river in Pakistan today. Its eastern frontier was today’s Orissa, being ruled by Raghuji Bhosale of Nagpur. Maratha armies had also reached upto Murshidabad, but then retreated and settled for tribute from Bengal and control of Orissa. To the south, in 1758, territories upto the fort of Gurramkonda in Kadappah district were held. Also, Tanjore (Thanjavur) was under Marathas, but that was a different line. In 1761, the PANIPAT war was lost to the Afghans but Marathas RECOVERED quickly like phoenix bird within 10 years and brought the whole of North Indian again under their control during the 1770's under leadership of Madhavrao Peshwa.. Eventually, the Marathas grew stronger and fought the British in three Anglo-Maratha Wars (1775-82, 1803-05, 1817-18), In the First Anglo-Maratha War (1775-1782) The Marathas emerged Victorious. A Vijay Stambh (Victory Pillar) erected to commemorate Maratha victory over British is located at Vadgaon/Wadgaon Maval, close to the city of Pune. The 2nd and 3rd were subsequently lost and British established themselves. (By the way, just for your G.K, Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj is also considered as the 'Father of the Indian Navy'.)

[@pijudo7]

The explorers who open the New World operated from a master plan [the same plan that is in operation today] and [they] were agents of rediscovery rather than discoverers. Very little is "known"[, folks,] about the origin, lives, characters, and policies of these intrepid adventurers. Although they lived in a century amply provided with historians and biographers, these saw fit either to remain silent or to invent plausible accounts without substance. Does it not seem remarkable that no one is certain whether Christopher Columbus was actually an English prince, a Greek nobleman, or a Genoses sea captain? Was he granted arms without any examination into his ancestry[, something that was unheard of in that day]? Why is it so difficult to ascertain the real name of the man known as Amerigo Vespucci? Who was John Cabot, whose life and exploits are but fragments rather than the sober records of a distinguished citizen? If these men were what they seemed to be, there could have been no advantage gained by such elaborate concealment. If there [was] a mystery, that which was hidden must have been regarded as valuable.

[@pijudo7]

Plato described the vast continent of Atlantis, which sank beneath the oceans as the result of a seismic cataclysm. [Now, ]there are several possible interpretations of Plato's account. The lost Atlantis could represent a submerged body of knowledge drowned in a sea of forgetfulness. This would explain and justify Bacon's restoration of the fable, which was nothing more than bringing into the light matters long hidden. According to the Critias, the oceans became so agitated and laden with mud and slime that navigation to the west ceased. Sailors feared to go beyond the Pillars of Hercules toward those Hesperic Isles sacred to the Mysteries. Even had Christian nations dared to violate the edicts of the Secret Schools, such audacity would have been held in check by the power of Islam, seated in the Holy House at Cairo, and the edicts of Lhasa, backed by the armed strength of the Mongol Empire. The East agreed to preserve the boundaries of Europe, if the European states would bind themselves in a solemn alliance to refrain from exploiting the resources of the Western Hemisphere.

[@pijudo7]

[William Cooper: Now why would they insist upon that agreement, when no one knew anything about the Western Hemisphere? At least, to the public, [aye]?] Fear of a terrible retribution from beyond the walls of Gog and Magog prevented the Popes from violating their agreement. And without the leadership of the Church, the great families dared not engage in private projects. When the appointed hour came, the Secret Societies selected their own agents to initiate the program of exploration. [William Cooper: And thus began America's secret assignment with destiny.] "Was Columbus then working," asks Grace A. Fendler, "either as an individual or as a chosen representative of Secret Societies, to bring into expression the old Utopian ideals and to directionalize them across the Seas? Certainly this would go far to explain the charges of 'traitor'; the seizure of all his books and papers; the destruction of all portraiture and likenesses even to the usual mortuary 'busts and arms'; and the complete disappearance of many of his literary works, including the Journal of the First Voyage and the Book of the Second Voyage. All this[, ladies and gentlemen,] would then have been mere inquisitional routine, with the rewriting of his biography more or less both of political necessity and[, of course,] a Holy Duty." [William Cooper: See the book for more on this: New Truths About Columbus.]

[@pijudo7]

Campanella, in his Civitas Solis, causes a Genoese sea captain to be the guest of the Grand Master of the Knights Hospitalers. When Columbus, on the occasion of his first landfall, raised the standard of Castile, he also planted a banner of his own, consisting of a green cross on a white field. Was this a device of the Knights [Templars]? [William Cooper: You bet your booties it was.] The formal education of the man who called himself Christopher Columbus has been the subject of much speculation. The navigator wrote, in 1501, that during his many voyages to all parts of the world he had met learned men of various races and sects and had "endeavored to see all books of cosmography, history, and philosophy and of other sciences." [Now,] if the admiral had seriously endeavored to examine early works on navigation, he undoubtedly had noted the references, brief but significant, by Homer, Solon, Aristotle, Pliny, and other ancient authors to "distant lands beyond the great oceans." Plutarch's voyagers must have explored vast areas, and Verplanck Colvin summarizes the old accounts thus: "In the days of Homer, or rather before his time, navigators traveled thousands of miles out into the Atlantic, and back across it...they were guided in their voyages by the stars."

I would say this is a decent summarization for beginners in history. Of course there are a lot of gaps, oversimplifications, a lacking in some topics such as sociology or political science, and an absent of any comparative analysis. If you want to learn more; read a book, take a class, visit a museum, watch a documentary. If you want to see a display of deplorable opinions and historical ignorance, scroll through the comment section.
