Roman Catholicism back thn was pretty gross, Kings and Queens were considered heads of the Church and would not allow peasants to read or pray, prayer had to be done through nobility and the word of the nobility was considered the word of God. Durring the Protestant movement a Pastor went up the Queen and said, "Jesus is the head of the Church and not you." Queen: Shame.

Sigma Stuff Hernan Cortes arrived in mexico before pizzaro arrived in peru and he was also carrying diseases that the natives had no immunity to defend against. the plague started when cortez landed NOT when Pizarro landed. Cortez landed in central america in the year 1504 and his conquest to mexico started in the year 1519. pizzaros conquest of peru started in 1526...that is 22 years of plague spreading throughout the americas before pizarros incan conquest even started. another thing to remember is that this disease was ariborne which means it travels vast distances in a short amount of time, all you had to do was be face to face with someone who has it. the video said in the following years 90% of the empire would succumb to smallpox...he didn't say following decades or centuries. thats because It spread so fast that the sapa Inca (which basically mean supreme emperor) and his heir/son had already died due to the disease!! this is what started the civil war in the empire in the first place b4 pizzaro even came...they needed a new king if the leaders are dying en masse i think its safe to assume the disease already wrecked/weakened an empire greatly before pizzaro started his conquest....and even during his so called 'conquest' pizzaro was doing nothing more that supporting the rebels side in order to further weaken the empire.....it was a tragedy of immense proportions...a combination of horrible luck one after the other.

6:37 what he actually said according to Francisco de Xerez "I am a priest of God, I teach the Christians the ways of the lord and I have come to teach you as well. What I teach is God's word and is written in this book. In the name of God and in the name of the Christians I ask you, to be their friend, because that is what God wants and you it will be better for you. So go and speak to the Governor (Francisco Pizarro), who expects you." Atahualpa demanded the book be given to him so that he could look it. He didn't succeed in opening it and so the monk stretched out his arm to be helpful, but Atahualpa hit him on his arm. Eventually as he opened it he didn't seem impressed by the paper or letters he saw and threw it 5 or 6 feet ahead of him. He then told the monk through the translator "I know very well what you Christians are doing, how you treat my caciques and how you have plundered their apartments." The monk answered "The Christians haven't done this, and some Indians that were looting without the knowledge of the Governor (Francisco P.), were send back. Atahualpa answered "Alright, I will not leave from this spot until they have brought me back the rest." He then ordered his men to get ready. The monk went back to Pizarro and told him what had happened. Pizarro then put on his steel plate and charged Atahualpa with his sword and shield. Reaching Atahualpa he took him by his hand and shouted "Santiago", that's when the Spanish started firing. I translated this myself - if you want a better translation read the book by Francisco de Xerez

[@KnightofRome01]

Because at the end of the day it is about power, and the final nail in the coffin to show a conquered people they have lost would be their leaders being knocked down as far as possible. Take religion out of the equation and you could have easily seen the Incan leaders having to prostrate themselves to Pizarro or some such thing. This has tactic of showing superiority has been used all through human history, in various forms. Do not forget in a previous video it was shown how the Inca would offer a group submission, or conquest by force. Regardless of that choice the children of the ruling group would be then educated as Incans and sent back to rule their kingdoms as clients of the Inca. So, long story short, it is all about power and submission to the victors, and has been used in so many different ways.

[@juanlulourido548]

Decius Julius Becuz the religion was only an excuse for the real objective, gold!

[@juanlulourido548]

Jebemti Majko Well, islam is not peaceful at all: 2.244 Then fight in the cause of Allah, and know that Allah Heareth and knoweth all things." 2.216 "Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you, and that ye love a thing which is bad for you. But Allah knoweth, and ye know not." Not only does this verse establish that violence can be virtuous, but it also contradicts the myth that fighting is intended only in self-defense, since the audience was obviously not under attack at the time. From the Hadith, we know that this verse was narrated at a time that Muhammad was actually trying to motivate his people into raiding merchant caravans for loot 3.56 "As to those who reject faith, I will punish them with terrible agony in this world and in the Hereafter, nor will they have anyone to help." 3.151 believers, for that they joined companions with Allah, for which He had sent no authority". This speaks directly of polytheists, yet it also includes Christians, since they believe in the Trinity (ie. what Muhammad incorrectly believed to be 'joining companions to Allah'). 4.101 "And when you (Muslims) travel in the land, there is no sin on you if you shorten your Salat (prayer) if you fear that the disbelievers may attack you, verily, the disbelievers are ever unto you open enemies." Mere disbelief makes one an "open" enemy of Muslims. Islamic peace means that you must be peaceful with other muslims, but not with other people.

2, mainly.

Excellent graphics, these are getting really good!

Glad to hear that! There will be more :-)

Ooooooops, you skipped these lines of the Spanish Requirement: ...If you do so, you will do well, and that which you are obliged to do to their Highnesses, and we in their name shall receive you in all love and charity, and shall leave you, your wives, and your children, and your lands, free without servitude, that you may do with them and with yourselves freely that which you like and think best, and they shall not compel you to turn Christians, unless you yourselves, when informed of the truth, should wish to be converted to our Holy Catholic Faith, as almost all the inhabitants of the rest of the islands have done. And, besides this, their Highnesses award you many privileges and exemptions and will grant you many benefits. #BlackLegendIntensifies

[@estraextras3717]

@@thearmada6248 basically, tha funny thing about the requerimiento was that it was the only law for the indians made by the church,the rest of the laws were pretty decent for de time, but the requerimiento was absolutly stupid.

[@carlospla6757]

The same.

[@AlejandroGarcia-kd8ew]

@Burak English conquerors were more brutals, not only in America, also in Africa and Asia, as well as dutch, french and portuguese conquerors. It's the same with religion wars, where dutch, french, germans and english had many more fights and killings than the spanish religion conflicts. Every conquest implies violence, but the spanish were not the worst killers at that time...

[@denovemportem]

Because it doesn´t fit with the "leyenda negra" (black legend)....

[@juangarciablanch]

Well, the Requerimiento is what Don Blas de Lezo and his 5 vessels, 2,000 soldiers + 500 Indian archers read to Lord Vernon when he attacked with his 198 ships of which 28 were 70 cannons line vessels, 5,000 sailors and 20,000 troops in Cartagena de Indias back in 1742. Vernon did not paid enough attention and was severely punished loosing half the fleet and half the troops and sailors, being severely defeated like the Inca, in this case had more guns, fire arms and trained military than the Spanish. The coins that he ordered to make showing the pretended surrender of the Spanish had to be melted again, a d an order of H. M. the King of England prevented to record or mention this fiasco. Please check in your preferred source. This defeat may possibly help you to understand how so few Spanish could be victorious agai st so many Indians, you did not performed much better!

Description...

[@vinny9868]

Why did this happen? It's not like this was Spain's grand plan, at least not at first. Isabella, Queen of Castille, reprimanded Columbus' actions. Though it wasn't enough. What was done was done and because of the actions of Cortés and his army, the Spanish court eventually gave in and saw that doing this was making them rich. How it was done, was gone unchecked, turned a blind eye, and their sufferings fell on death ears, but the plan was to bring wealth to Spain and convert the natives to Catholicism, for the sake of saving their souls.

Will never get tired of hearing it. :-)

[@jorgedepaz5750]

this story is not real or complete, pizarro poisoned atahualpa with the wine he brought from europe and offered as a sign of friendship. atahualpa took the wine and fell asleep next to the inka royalty, this is how they captured atahualpa. it is impossible that the men of pizarro were hidden in the main square of a strange city without being seen. Pizarro invented the history of the Bible and that was how he informed the queen, since the conquerors were forbidden to kill without reason, he had to respect the culture of the conquered peoples as well as their population if there was no need for conflict. but pizarro only came to steal, this story is not spread since they only read the version of pizarro found in the Indies letters" cartas de las indias" which is the official report of the moment but the not real thing, since the version of the use of wine to capture Atahualpa is made by Peruvian historians with studies with settlers and versions of the Peruvian side.

[@ThamizhanDaa1]

Yes I totally agree with you.. those Spanish conquistadors only killed and looted through trucks and lies.. atahualpa was poisoned by pizarro

[@todrkdck9805]

One of the best video so far. I referenced this documentary very usefully whilst writing my essay.

[@RafaelGarcia-eu4lp]

Great to see an english video that describes the conquest expeditions to america as what they were, private expeditions. The emperors' armies were at that time involved in dozens of european wars with literally everyone (including the Pope) and with the main enemy, the otoman empire, so they never were really directly participating in the conquest.

[@EdgardoPlasencia]

Spaniards founded in lima the first university in America ( 1551 ) and brought 4000 years of civilization to the new world. That's why Hispanic America has an occidental culture.

[@nishhnishh1088]

4000 years of ‘civilization’. Spain? Lol. Spain was never a great civilization. 4000 years hahahh

[@helloMRdj1]

@@nishhnishh1088 they brought the wheel and iron. Thats a big jump if you ask me ;)

[@ThamizhanDaa1]

Spain is not a civilized country, it was fighting and looting and pillaging its own and got lucky with smallpox to conquer new lands in the new world

[@kijjano]

168 spanish conquerors vs 50.000 natives Nothing more to add

[@yolandagaeta428]

Such a great video! Love the voice too!

[@lalarukhmohsin6207]

The fact that the spanish robed their warehouses and killed their minister and then still expected Atahualpa to accept Christianity is really messed up

[@spammergenerico5679]

Yeah, but they didn't wanted him to accept him because of their beliefs, mote because of a political reason. But on the other hand, Atahualpa was not better than them

[@tarikbosnian9955]

[@tsaoh5572]

What is up with all of the Spanish people in the comments feeling a need to justify any of this? It is a dark page in your country's history, just admit it. Every country has a dark page, there is no need to be ashamed.

[@su_morenito_1948]

TSAOH! Im not ashamed,what I’m ashamed of is people saying the british would’ve done better,after seeing all they did in India how can you say that?

When the friar was reciting the Requiremento to the Incans “We will take your women and children and enslave them in the name of the church...” I was thinking “What would Jesus do? If he walked up and saw this happening”

What would Muhammad say if they were Muslim? Beam with pride.

[@frost3dart]

in the time this was happening in spain they had something called La inquisicion that was a religious radical group of people dedicated to exterminate islam practicants in the peninsula... so it wasnt that unexpected

[@barcamanity]

so after Atahualpa fulfilled his side of the promise, giving all the gold in their nation to the spaniards. They didn't release him they just killed him.

[@AsdrubalBarka]

To begin, was not all the gold of the empire. And second, to be fair, what would you have done? Atahualpa was the inca and the supreme ruler, leave him alive, and in no time he would have take back the gold and the spanish heads with it. Yes, pizarro didnt show honor, but the situation was dire.

As a Spaniard, I cannot help feel bad for the Inca. We could have opened relations with the New World so much better...

[@jcarlosglera3647]

Sure we could, we could have invited them to coffee with milk, some sugar and pastries. Overall, they were so peaceful and not bloody at all. The funny thing is that all their neighbors rebelled against them and preferred the damn Spaniards, right?

[@asuncionmatadiaz2366]

Los españoles eran la primera potencia mundial de esa época, tenian buenos barcos, armas modernas y acababan de terminar la reconquista de España, después de 800 años de dominacion musulmana. Eran muy valientes y muy cristianos. Todas las grandes potencias invaden.
