There were numerous errors in this video including that the Azores was never a penal colony or a place misfits ran to(complete bull shit). In addition the number of Sephardic Jews that settled in the islands was tiny. I have no idea why he even mentions Germans as settlers. There was a documented Flemish settlement but it was also pretty small. The Vikings settlement is currently in dispute the thesis supporting this was poorly done and has been heavily criticized for over a year and taken apart piece by piece.

Fun fact: during the early stages of Portugal's occupation of the Azores, Portugal asked other kingdoms for some population to help populate those islands, the majority of them were from Northern France and some from the Netherlands and what is now Germany. That's why the Portuguese dialect from the Azores is so unlike any other dialect of portuguese. Sometimes it even feels like a separate language. That's why some dialects from the Azores sound like weird version of French. The dialect from Madeira is also a bit like this

Fun fact, the Azores were colonized by such a large group of german and specially dutch settlers that even today, the azores accent of portuguese is so weird and different to the "mainland" one that when we have news from the Azores and someone is speaking, subtitles are included. Madeira's accent is a bit similar to the Azores one, but to a lesser degree; if you know portuguese, you can look up interviews of Cristiano Ronaldo's mother talking and see for yourself (he himself lost his Madeira's accent since moving to Lisbon to play for Sporting). There's also a legend that the polish king Władysław III didn't die in the famous battle of Varna and instead lived the rest of his days secluded in Madeira where he was known as Henrique Alemão ("Henry the German") where he wed and had 2 sons (some accounts even atest that one of his sons was Christopher Columbus, but thats too much of a stretch hahah). According to the legend, a delegation of polish monks traveled there and certified he was in fact the polish king.

It makes sense that the Norse found the Azores first. The wind patterns in the Atlantic mean that it’s hard to sail directly to the Azores from Southern Europe. However the Azores lie directly along the return route from the Americas

During the 2nd world war we leased an air base to the allies in Azores in order to keep them happy. We also traded with Germany to keep them happy and stay neutral. Despite Salazar being a dictator in this instance he deserves some praise.

If they count "early in the colonization" as the first 100 years or so, there would be time for new crops to be imported to the Azores.

The sweet potato Portugal introduced in the Azores came from India, you know, the real India, not the India that the hapless Columbus discovered
Interesting facts: 80 years ago some islands didn't grow grains, only corn so the only bread available was corn bread which gave a disease of yellowing the skin when eaten too much. Even this bread was only possible when the wind blew so people could take their corn to be grounded on the windmills. Too many days without wind and hunger was a threat. Wheat bread was a luxury only eaten when people were ill. In the 50s thousands of azorean emigrated the US. Today some descendants are coming back with their Harleys disturbing the peace of an otherwise quite place. Another disturbance is a summer monthly rave party on the capital of Pico which which can be heard all over the small city until 6am. Young people come from other islands to attend it.

Ah, the Flemish Islands! Where oxcart and windmills are still seen. Concerning the "relheiras" (rails i suppose), wouldn't be surprised for easier (ox?)cart transportation. But why (going seemingly nowwhere particular)? This we have all seen with the lineways (lijnbanen) for rope production. They need a track to span the cords, sometimes hundreds of meters. By twisting the different strains, the cord get tighter. Typical machinery to do so, is a moving cart (lopende bok). Azoren were very important hub for further sea-faring, especially tools and equipment were there produced/repaired. Wouldn't be surprised that early advanced rope production was one of the typical activities there.

I am Azorean. Your video is full of misconceptions. First of all Portugal could not have colonized the Azores because there were no people there. What Portugal did - the Portuguese crown- was to claim the islands to Portugal's kingdom, that's different. But the biggest error is to claim that the Azores were a place with beautiful forests and abundant water. What? They are like that now, in the XV century they were not like they are now, I am from São Miguel, the island was in constant and violent volcanic activity, and a lot of the sailors and first settlers were very afraid to live there. Get your facts right.
@humbertoventura13442 жыл бұрын
that's a bunch of nonsense. The first records we have of the Azores Islands are from XIV-century charts. This is because sailors from the Mediterranean saw the islands at a distance but were too afraid to land. Portuguese decided to occupy the islands because the Madeira archipelago at that time was very productive to the kingdom, so they assume the same would happen to the Azores, which was not the case then. This has nothing to do with North Africa which was taken (Ceuta) in 1415. Azorean wheat, nevertheless, was shipped to feed Portuguese forces in Northern Africa. Vikings getting close to the Azores in those longboats with no navigation instruments? That's just impossible.

And as always no mention of the the Azores previously being called the Flemish Islands due to being settled by Flemish people, albeit under the Portuguese flag. "People from Flanders settled in the Azores beginning in 1450. By 1490, there were 2,000 Flemings living in the islands of Terceira, Pico, Faial, Sao Jorge, and Flores and because there was such a large Flemish settlement, the Azores became known as the Flemish Islands or the Isles of Flanders."

Came to this video to learn some history of where my family is from. I was on the continent last week and kept seeing my last names on signs in the northern parts of Portugal around Aveiro, Porto, and Braga. Turns out Terceira was actually populated by Northern Portuguese people and Sephardic Jews. Third island to be discovered and thats where the name comes from Terca which means Third in Portuguese. Great video but some of the pronunciation and spelling of the island names were off. Madeira is prounounced (Ma-day-rah). "-eir" in Madeira is actually found in a lot of Portuguese words and names.

As a fellow Portuguese, let me just say that I think you need to chill out a bit with the criticism of how English speakers pronounce Portuguese words. I'm pretty sure everyone, including us Portuguese, mispronounce things when it comes to words that are not of our native tongue. The narrator's pronunciation of "Madeira" could probably be better, but it makes sense for him to say it the way he does as a non-Portuguese speaker. That being said, I do find his pronunciation slightly amusing.

After watching this video, I'm immediately think of this scenario about sometime before Granada will be conquered, some members of the House of Nasr escaped along with some Muslim and Jewish refugees and established an independent state that is used as base of operation for privateering against Castile, Aragon and Portugal. Will this scenario worked? After all, this island has been known among the Europeans at least around the 14th century. So I see no reason why the peoples from the Emirate of Granada will not heard of this.

Yes. Colonize has nothing to do if there's a native population or not. In the future it might be useful to refer to a dictionary for such inqueries col·o·nize /ˈkäləˌnīz/ verb verb: colonize; 3rd person present: colonizes; past tense: colonized; past participle: colonized; gerund or present participle: colonizing; verb: colonise; 3rd person present: colonises; past tense: colonised; past participle: colonised; gerund or present participle: colonising - (of a country or its citizens) send a group of settlers to (a place) and establish political control over it. - appropriate (a place or domain) for one's own use - come to settle among and establish political control over (the indigenous people of an area). So yes colonize can suggest ruling over an indigenous population but thats not colonization means (taking over an indigenous population), colonization is when a group of people from one country go to a new land to establish that as a piece of land of their home country. Rather than form their own government and country, they form a COLONY of their motherland. This is why the acores and madeira were considered colonies until gaining some government autonomy in 1974. And they were considered colonies by the PORTUGUESE GOVERNMENT, if you don't like it cry to them.
