_"If it had not been for the newfound tobacco industry in the original colony, it's likely that the English would have never been able to colonize North America permanently."_ I think that's way too big a leap. The French started their permanent Quebec colony only a year after Virginia with no tobacco in sight, depending on the fur trade instead. And that's how the northern English colonies got their start. Very little tobacco was ever grown north of Maryland, and was never needed. The Plymouth colony banned it. Side note: Virginia's tobacco plantations didn't cultivate the tobacco of the local natives. What they grew was tobacco from the Spanish Caribbean, which was stronger and tasted better. Virginia's advantage was there was far more land to reolocate to after tobacco farming ruined the local soil, whereas the islands still needed to be able to raise crops to feed themselves.

In reflecting on this, the first attempted English colonizations fell short in part for the type of men they sent. The first to arrive were adventurers, military men and commercial sailors. These guys didn't have the required survivals skills of being farmers or fishermen. Even with Jamestown, the skill set of those who arrived was poor at best. When your choice of colonists is derived from those that were failing in your home country, lack of opportunity in their native land may not have been the only failing they suffered from.

Were uneducated in the ways, language or customs of the existing inhabitants. They lacked accepted leadership, and few of the settlers displayed any leadership in their own conduct. Given the situation they were in, if it was dropped on either you or I, I doubt either of us would survive either. And your analysis of why the colony failed? Bad Karma? Do share.

@@cdjhyoung well maybe I was harsh in my judgment and when you elaborated in your reply it made more sense but the implication that they were failures in their country of origin and therefore destined to fail as colonists I feel was also harsh and not true. They were skilled in lots of ways, managed to build a village, a fort, and even built artillery placements for cannons to protect themselves. When their leader left to get more colonists to assist them further they fell ill to various illnesses which they weren't prepared for and many of them died. It wasn't because they were failures that they died or the colony almost came to an early end but the inevitable consequence of encountering new viruses and the shortage in their starting numbers.

Philip II - King of Spain and Portugal (With all its possessions in Africa and Asia), King of Naples and Sicily, Duke of Milan, Lord of the Netherlands, King of the Americas and the Philippines.. sent the Spanish Armada to the Port of Dunkirk to embark some companies of Spanish Tercios and have them crossed over the English channel. When these ships passed by the English coast, they came across English ships which refused to engage in battle. Although Spanish ships presented battle, English withdrew time and time again. Spanish ships then successfully arrived in Dunkirk where they also fought off Dutch rebels. When General Don Alexander Farnese Duke of Parma, failed to show up with his Tercios as convened, the Spanish naval fleet had to circumnavigate the British Isles, as they had little gun powder left. Had they known they'd be facing a storm, they would've preferred to fight the English. Although there were various skirmishes in the channel, the primary objective of the Spanish Armada was to arrive at the Port of Dunkirk, which surely was a huge relief for English ships ‘guarding’ the channel. If the primary objective had been a direct invasion, the English navy would've not been able to stop it. "By 12 August, the English expedition was exhausted and, unable to continue, it headed for the coast. To justify his withdrawal, Commander Chief -Lord Admiral Howard obliged his captains to sign a memorandum in which they gave their agreement to call off the pursuit" (Kelsey, Sir Francis Drake, p. 411). Yes, this is an excerpt which confirms the English could no longer maintain their position at sea, thus the English ships did not pursue the Spanish, which in turn shows the English navy did not defeat the Spanish Armada. Spanish Armada was swept away by a storm in 1588. A year after, an even larger massive armada led by Sir Pirate Francis Drake and Sir John Norreys was sent by Elizabeth I to take advantage of the Spanish vulnerability...

The Spanish Armada did not turn back it passed right through the Channel harried by Drake and his fleet and made port in the Spanish Netherlands to pick up an army to invade England. But fire ships in the night scattered the Spanish fleet and prevailing winds forced them to sail north and round the tip of Scotland to get home. Hence the vast number of wrecks left behind on the West Coast of Scotland and Ireland. Pretty poor research to state in your video that they were forced back with a picture of a ship sailing Westwards down the Channel...

I can't even believe that just 600 years ago, Europeans did not know about the existence of a whole continent across the ocean. In these 600 years, a new nation called the Americans was born. Of course, many peoples participated in the ethnogenesis of Americans, but still the basis of the American nation is the British, Irish, Scots, Dutch, Germans, French, Swedes, Norwegians, Danes, Africans, Native Americans. A little later, Italians, Poles, Jews, Russians, Chinese, Japanese and many other peoples arrived in the United States. This whole mix of peoples eventually gives birth to talented people.

[@PeterPan54167]

I think kidnapped is a little harsh . Disney gets it wrong and the Pop history gets it wrong. Relationships with the natives were still decent . The English still relied heavily on the Natives for survival , Pocahontas was taken to England as a hostage but in the traditional Roman since of the word . She was well treated but was unhappy ( I would too , having to leave warm and sunny Eastern Virginia for the dirty and foggy England ) .

It’s also just overall design. if we’re going to have multiple tanks, I think the Leopard prob shouldnt be the strongest, but it most certainly shouldn’t be made obsolete by some polish paper tank. There’s no alternative for tanks for people who prefer to stay in the realm of feasibility. The only counter to the god forsaken rocket bikes are other rocket bikes. There’s been no real successor to the jets we use today. Meta jets are just the same as they’ve always been. No F-35/22 plane to succeed them, so that regular pilots can still hold their own against the Mk2s. I don’t even feel guilty about disabling lockon through menus anymore, since there’s just no way to avoid the Mk2s. They will always get you eventually; no matter how many flares, loops, or speed manipulating you do.

I still don’t understand the history of the English coming here and the Spanish. I know the Spanish came way before but did they get along with the English people? Was America mostly a Spanish speaking country before the English came ?

[@soapbrick9482]

Spanish started colonizing the natives and Britain also wanted a part of it

[@Rowlph8888]

Spain started colonising in the mid-1500's, only 50 years before, as they only managed to rid Castile and Aragon of the moors in 1492, so before that they were dominated by the Arabs and couldn't do any colonising… as this guy said the 1st English colony was 1587.Literally only 50 years between the 2 nations colonising.The difference was that the Spanish already colonised South America, quickly over those last 50 years, were mainly concentrated on that, as there was a lot of gold there, whereas the English didn't even to try that, they headed straight for the Easternboard of what is now the US

Crazy to think that one of my ancestors was one of the first to settle at Jamestown in the 1640s

[@evilchaperone]

Very cool. Mine landed in Virginia in 1740. Farmed tobacco.

My mother's paternal ancestor arrived at Jamestown in 1614 at the age of 19. He paid for his own passage over and bought 150 kegs of tobacco to send back on the ship to pay for the passage of his wife and supplies he wanted. He was to receive 50 acres of land for himself and another 50 acres for his wife once she arrived but might of been screwed out of those since both were under the age of 21. There's no record of his activities at Jamestown and is eventually recorded in 1620 when attending a meeting of Friends at a tiny Quaker settlement near the Elbemarle Estuary with his pregnant wife and three young children. They might of stayed at Jamestown until he became an adult in order to get his 100 acres only to be given the worst land nobody would care to own. The colony was established in an area that the natives considered to be worthless for farming so didn't mind selling it to the English for some trade goods. The natives exchanged more crummy land for trade goods but wouldn't sell any of the better land that they used for farming. That made the colonists mad so they started taking their better land without paying the natives any compensation for it. That led to the two fighting a series of battles as the colony expanded. The colony administrators most likely rewarded the colonists that fought with some of the better land, kept the rest for themselves and doled out the rest to the newcomers. The inability to receive better land led to many new arrivals and indentured servants leaving the settlement to live with the natives in small communities of their own. The natives didn't mind them since they were a source for trade goods and services, like clearing out trees from areas that the natives wanted to farm.

Technically, The Spanish Armada weren't defeated by the English Navy in direct combat. The harrassment played a part, but, most skirmishes ended in stalemate, the English couldn't sink a Spanish Ship and the Spanish couldn't board. It was only at the Gravellines where the fire ships, which was a last gasp attempt to disrupt the Armada made the fleet panick and cut their Anchors and completely disorganised them. That coupled with the Army in Netherlands not arriving in time or at all, made the Armada turn back via the North and Irish Sea, which decimated the Navy. In short, defeated by luck and incompetence, rather than the English.

There was not one but three failed Spanish Armadas sent against England

[@sutty8526]

A Strom destroyed the ships and Spain never Really recovered. As Queen Elizabeth the first said. God heard my prayers. Spain was the strongest at that time. After the fail of the Amarda, Britain took top place amd stayed there for some time

[@buenflaco2164]

@@sutty8526 Lie, Great Britain ranked first after the battle of trafalgar (1805), before that they were not stronger than Spain or France.

A little social, geographical and political correction. England conquered NORTH America and some center America places. They never conquered the whole continent.
