at the start of the video they said that England's rivals were Portugal and Spain.But at that time Portugal and England had great alliance and I understand that Portugal had started up all the trade business and colonialism but England wasn't unfriendly,and France and Spain were more of a rivals.

[@Xazamas]

They may be covering period when Portugal was ruled by the Spanish king, referred to as "Iberian Union" which was bad time for Portuguese; Netherlands was at war with Spain and used this opportunity to seize many Portuguese colonies in India and Indonesia.

[@sousacordeiro9684]

Portugal lost its independence in 1580, with the defeat of D.António Prior do Crato and the victory of D.Filipe's Castilian forces after the disappearance of King D.Sebastião and the death of Cardinal-King D.Henrique, therefore the Treaty of Alliance of 1373 and the Windsor Treaty or Luso-English friendship treaty of 1386 were inactive until Portugal restored its independence in 1640. The video starts in 1581, so Portugal is just another kingdom of the Spanish Empire in a Personal Union, probably the most important and relevant kingdom at time considering the history of discoveries, conquests, trade, trafficking, exploration, knowledge and etc.

[@Ok-but]

arent they still allies ?

[@awildlisty3541]

I agree the Portuguese were allied to England before the end of the Hundred year war between England and France.

[@sousacordeiro9684]

@@Ok-but Yes, Portugal and the United Kingdom have the longest alliance in history, it is true that it was interrupted from 1580 to 1640 and that there were episodes of shock between both countries, such as the British occupation of Portugal during the Napoleonic invasions and the obligation of Portugal to open the ports of Brazil for a privileged and exclusive trade with the British and later the British ultimatum in Scramble for Africa, that was one of the motivations for the fall of the Portuguese monarchy... but we were always allies and Portugal always followed British policy very carefully and always tried to do the maximums to help and this continues until now

[@lordbonney9779]

Only critiques are towards the start. 1) Portugal and England weren’t rivals, they actively aided each other as they both had the common enemies of France and Spain. 2) British slaves weren’t sold to Spain. We sold them to other African kings and mainly Portugal (when they weren’t taken to the 13 Colonies).

[@hellothere3693]

They were active Allies, and hated fr*nce (a good thing)

[@j.a.s.d.r]

The video starts in 1581, and the Kingdom of Portugal had lost it's independence by 1580 due to the Portuguese War of Succession. So basically, Portugal was just in a union with Spain (Iberian Union, until 1640). Technically, Portugal was a temporary rival of Britain for 60 years.

[@taxfraud5673]

Noticed several inaccuracies in this one, I'm not an expert so I may be wrong but: 1) In 1581 England and Portugal weren't rivals but actually their oldest allies. 2) There's very little evidence of raids carried out by the British into Africa to capture slaves like suggested in the song. In fact the majority of the slaves transported across the Atlantic were purchased from pre-existing African kingdoms 3) Nanny the Maroon most likely didn't exist and was a folk tale 4) The Kingdom of Mysore is described as a 'strong and diverse society' which is ironic because by the time of British invasion it was experiencing waves of civil strife and was in fact ruled by a Muslim elite class over a large Hindu population. 5) Ireland wasn't the first place the English colonised, it was Wales 6) The industrial revolution was attributed to wealth coming into Britain through the Atlantic slave trade which is inaccurate as industrialisation was mostly caused by population growth and urbanisation. And only began to 'revolutionise' society after the slave trade was abolished in 1829

[@benr7867]

This is less the history of the British empire and more a highlight on British atrocities and the victims of it. This video is anachronistic. Although i wont argue that these these things didn't happen, they are expressed in a dominating way to the point where British empire building gets completely overshadowed. This feels more like a political message conveyed trough atrocities that were inspected trough a modern-western lens, than it is history. Yesterday the history channel OverSimplified also released a new video on the punic wars, which also highlights barbaric elements of the Roman empire which still often gets glorified by our modern times, without making their history just singularly about it. People are cruel, but we now live in a time where cruelty is no longer something we are okay with. And i think its important to educate people on the facts without making history solely about them, which in my opinion, this History Bombs video fails to do.

[@samuelwee1898]

I have often enjoyed History Bombs' productions and have directed my students in history class to the concise, informative and entertaining videos. However, this one seems an overdo of self-flagellation. Lately, many historians have sought to expose the ills of empire-building (in any case, the history of 'civilizations' has been much the history of empire) so as to present a more objective narrative overall. In my Singapore, once a British colony, we are quite aware of the empire's inadequacies, failings, faults and ills, but we acknowledge that much of what we have now has been constructed on the platform laid out by the British in colonial times - parliamentary system, judiciary, education, housing, sports, even military and policing practices/traditions. Eight min is of course too brief a fit for everything, but it's just too bad that History Bombs have dwelt almost solely on its ills. Is that really the only 'true story'? If the 'Singapore story' was less traumatic than has been made out to be in this rap, then surely it represents aspects of empire history that could have possibly been squeezed into this presentation.

Note, the European states that did the whole Atlantic slave trade purchased all (or hereabouts) of the slaves from local African states, as they sort of forgot how to enslave people and either the Portuguese or the Dutch actually sent people to research how their trade partners (the local kingdoms) were getting all the slaves they were selling to them, since Europeans usually lasted less than a week on the continent let’s just say it was a bit of a challenge

[@Halcon_Sierreno]

That's one aspect of the slave trade that often gets overlooked. People forget that Africans themselves contributed a lot to the enslavement of their people.

[@SomasAcademy]

This is not fully accurate of all the European powers involved in the Slave Trade; the English had completely abolished slavery centuries before their involvement, so they had indeed completely forgotten how to enslave people (and in fact the first enslaved Africans they purchased were given Indenture contracts and released after a set term, as that was the closest model they had to slavery in the early 17th century). The Portuguese, meanwhile, were simply not very good at slave raiding; they had a continual practice of slavery (including purchasing slaves both from Italian and Islamic merchants), and attempted to engage in slave raiding themselves, with it being common practice for Mediterranean merchants (whose ships were typically well armed to slave off pirates) to besiege cities and capture their citizens as slaves if they were found to lack defenses, but it was very risky as the cities were often better defended than they realized. As they began to navigate along the Western coast of Africa, they also attempted slave raids, thinking the weaker bows of the locals were no threat, but the common use of poisoned arrows made local archers harder to fight than they expected. It wasn't that they'd forgotten how to enslave people, they just kept losing when they tried to do so militarily (though they were able to enslave their own Jewish populations more easily, which helped to build the early slave plantation system, and also had some success in capturing Canary Islanders). These early failures did prompt them to start respectfully engaging with African leaders in order to buy slaves from them instead of kidnapping (though they would also return to slave raiding later, famously capturing enough people from their ally the Kingdom of Kongo that the King of Kongo wrote to the King of Portugal asking him to reign in his people). The Spanish, meanwhile, had a great deal of success enslaving people in the Canary Islands and Caribbean, though they ultimately stopped doing so because of a combination of legal restrictions on who they were allowed to enslave and the high death rate among the groups they targeted; still, the early enslavement of Canary Islanders was an important early step in building up the Spanish plantation system. I'm not sure about the Dutch, as I haven't read about the development of their slavery specifically.

[@achilles9448]

​@@SomasAcademy... I agree but also that Africa was involved the slave trade even before the Europeans got there... Also you had the Ottoman empire that took out lower blacks at Africa than any other group and enslaved 20,000 million white people and it was considered the most brutal slave trade.... So history tell us that pretty much everybody was involved in the slave trade and when the Europeans did go to Africa.. Kings of tribes and countries sold their own sons and daughters for exchange for golden weapons to attack other tribes and countries... And here's a fun fact but not really a fun fact.... Slavery is abolished around the world but you still have 700,000 slaves in Africa today and here in the western continent... The central countries have the most sex trafficking slaves around the world... I get nobody says anything about it why it's because they're not white....

I wonder how they’re gonna talk about the Napoleonic wars. A defining moment in British history which led to the start of the pax Britannica…… aaaaaaand nothing. Also you can’t just put the blame solely on the United Kingdom for the partition of India. The partition was solely due because the Hindus and Muslims couldn’t get along and when discussing a united India neither side could agree on anything. Even Gandhi saw that it was next to impossible to satisfy all parties involved. They chose to partition India. Could the British have done more? Probably, but in the end it was up to the two groups to decide. Also, if you’re gonna talk about the slave trade then you should also talk about how Britain took an active role in stopping the slave trade in the 19th and 20th century’s. A nice mention of the African squadron would’ve been nice. As for the First Nations yes we had our ups and downs, but so does every other nation. When they first met there were problems on both sides. English slavers would kidnap First Nations people well at the same time the first nations would kidnap English settlers. However both sides managed to put away their differences and come to terms with each other and even form alliances. In the seven years war, the revolutionary war and the war of 1812 the first nations were valued allies of the British. In fact one of the big reasons for the American revolutionary war was because the British band the expansion westward into First Nation territory in order to keep the peace between Britain and the first nations. Also in 1812 if it wasn’t for Tecumseh and his people British North America would’ve fallen into American hands. Unfortunately the first nations did suffer from diseases spread by Europeans but so too did Europeans suffer from diseases from the New World. Medicine and medical knowledge at the time were less than stellar.
