A book Thats rather interesting and pertinente is Aztec by Gary Jennings... First look for reviews in YT about it, I think you'll love it. I as a Mexican happily living in CDMX can't recommend it Enough. Great lectures by this great professor; I've never thouth about the period way before the Mexica Build up my City (tenochtitlan, now CDMX), always interesting to hear a differenta and a rather constructive perspective.

Dr. Casagranda I'm in love with your lectures. My brain is cooked bc I don't have an attention span anymore and I usually can't even watch a 10 minute video without getting bored but I can watch 4 straight hours of your lectures. Incredibly interesting and entertaining even though you barely use any images. I have learned so much about the world. My favorite thing is that you give so much context before starting every lecture, which is incredibly helpful. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge for free ❤

I encountered Dr. Casagrande's lectures and was profoundly impressed by their depth and insight. His expertise and nuanced analysis represent an exceptional standard within unbiased academic discourse. Drawing from my studies in history, particularly concerning figures such as Columbus and Cortez, I benefited significantly from the perspectives imparted by Dr. Casagrande's lectures. My maternal lineage, intertwined with native heritage, further enriched my understanding of the complex legacies of colonization. The devastating impact wrought by conquistadors like Cortez, Pizarro, de Almagro, and Valdivia upon the indigenous populations and cultures of the Americas remains a topic of incomprehensible magnitude. It behooves us, therefore, to confront and comprehend these historical realities with courage and humility, recognizing their implications for our collective past and the imperative of responsible stewardship for the benefit of future generations.

It seems you have not learned anything from Roy's lessons. You can easily find some terrible things that Egyptian, Arabs and Muslims did in the past (even nowadays). I don't understand why people are being proud of things that they did not choose like ethnicity etc. It is just pure tribal instinct.

@@mstzn1 you are right. I didn't mean to come off as tribal. I understand what you are saying. White europeans always try to portray us as barbaric and backwards, when the facts that Roy teaches us tell us that we were always much more civilized. We are not perfect either but in comparison, we as a people are relatively civil. Your ancestors are the ottoman empire, which had some bad times, but across most of the time it existed, it was a place of tolerance and civility.

@@maamounelsharkawy3924 When Egyptians say that they are Arabs, Muslims or speak Arabic and are 'proud' of that, that is so contradictory, farsical and funny because they take the 'Arab' identity who colonized them.

I am from the Dominican Republic and when hearing about Columbus finding gold on his first expedition, it makes sense that that part of the island has a city called Puerto Plata.

Dr. Casagranda you are mistaken! The island was named Quisqueya by the Taino Arawak Indians. Columbus named it Hispanyola upon arrival. The island then became Haiti after the war for independence against France. The island is now home to two distinct nation states by the names of Haiti and Dominican Republic whose capital happens to be Santo Domingo. I hope I explained everything thoroughly and without condescension in my tone. I greatly appreciate your lectures, constantly learning something new about history from you. Keep up the good work. I look forward to seeing a lecture live someday. Best wishes
@user-po4rf2ug7z20 күн бұрын
Before Columbus arrived, the Taino people inhabited the island. They called it Ayiti, which means high ground or mountainous land, or Quisqueya, meaning mother of the Earth. The Spanish called it Santo Domingo, as did the French (Ste. Domingue) when they colonized the part of the island known today as Haiti.

Totally unexpected that was how it was going to end. Wasn’t expecting that until then.p The big question is WHY? Why did las casas think the native Americans were superior to the Africans? Does it just purely boil down to skin color. Man the Spanish Christians are cray. First the inquisition, then this. Curious if they ever considered enslaving Africans prior to this.
