The Century that Devastated Mexico

[@akagamicosplay]

As a mexican I can confirm, none of this is ever taught in basic education, if you want to actually learn in depth about the conquista and the hell people went through during it, you have to turn to foreign studies and heavily underfunded local sources. I'm actually hearing about cocoliztli for the first time today, most people are taught only (and on a very superficial level) about the smallpox outbreak

[@akagamicosplay]

@Niko Ratković I am, yes. And once again, all of that I investigated on my own while in college. Totally unrelated to my major, just out of curiosity.

[@20PINKluvr]

Because people know more about smallpox than the lesser known or no cause cocolitzli plague

[@JaviXT]

Why is that? Maybe I don't get it but I can't understand why Mexico would not go into detail about colonizers

[@kaisarion6668]

Even if it’s Mexico, it still suffers from “Whiteness”. This is why this isn’t taught even in Mexico, and indigenous people are heavily discriminated. Mexico, like the US was built on White Supremacy. Some of those systems, wether cultural still exist to this day.

[@victoriaeads6126]

Thank you! It's never easy to determine whether, as a white American, I simply didn't know any of this due to gaps in our education concerning other countries. I'm always interested in becoming more educated, especially in cases like this. We need to be armed with knowledge so that these things NEVER repeat. Hopefully.

[@patf1288]

One of Simon's best videos ever how someone can make like 12 videos a day and maintain quality is beyond me this guy must have a serious team working for him. Good stuff.

[@ChristmasLore]

He just reads. His teams do all the rest. No every channel publishes daily. Videos are recorded in sessions, weeks or months in advance. He's doing just fine.

[@Itried20takennames]

Well….his videos include many, many factual mistakes. Not differing opinions, stuff that is just wrong. For example, that the FDA approved ephedra in the US (it never did, Google it….as an herbal supplement, it didn’t need approval before marketing, and then the FDA spent 4 years trying to get it off the US markets due to cardiac concerns, despite the owner being a huge political donor). Worse, he seems to have no concern or care for the damage his mistakes do.

Simon is an excellent orator with an excellent ability to hire the right writers appropriate for a channels format. The information conveyed is never in-depth but also not too shallow, such that it allows the viewer to soak up just enough high-level information allowing them to dig deeper if interested.

Two extraodinary facts: 1) The pandemics spread well beyond Mezo-America, causing a massive depopulation of both North and South America. This is why, for example, the earliest British and French colonists who arrived in the early 1600s were faced with a greatly depopulated continent. It is estimated that the Amerindian population of the Americas may have fallen by up to 90% from its peak iround 1500 to its low point around 1900, with most of that decline caused by pandemics in the 1500s, and a second wave of death by warfare and pandemic caused by wars with European settlers in the 1800s as they rapidly spread from their small areas of initial settlement in the 1600s. 2) Today the majority of Mexicans are Mestizo, and genetic testing shows that the Mestizo are mainly descended from a small number of Spanish males who arrived in the 1500s and native women. It's estimated that most Mestizo are descended from only a few thousand Spaniards.

[@jonathancooper4914]

The pandemics and genocides in the americas were so big that the earth experienced a period of cooling.

[@krystelhardesty9960]

There was Spanish immigration to Mexico in later times to. My grandmothers family moved to Mexico from Spain in the early 1930's

[@chuckhoyle1211]

This is what is not taught in school today. When the pilgrims arrived in North America, it was mostly already depopulated due to rampant plagues brought much earlier (~100 years earlier) and got really really lucky that Squanto happened to be around. Early colonists in North America did not need to conquer and displace natives. There weren't any around. Humanity got lucky that there were no plagues that went the other direction back to Europe.

[@us89na]

The book "1491" is a good discussion of what societies were in the Americas before the Europeans came and the effects of the diseases brought by them. Also, there was one notable plague brought back to Europe from the Americas: syphilis. There may be other diseases brought back, but that's the most impactful by far.

[@minervacuervo4662]

Dear Simon: today September 15 is the celebration of our Independence. Thank you for the video, is like a present! 🇲🇽 1. I love your pronunciation of Tenochtitlán and Panuco. It’s kind of cute. 2. Thank you for mentioning than the Aztecs also practiced slavery. It is not only a disease of the white people 3. The Spanish famously refused to eat the local meat for religious reasons. Until they were able to raise their own cattle in New Spain, they relied almost exclusively on fish and vegetables. Perhaps the indigenous population caught cocoliztli from game, whatever it was it was certainly less present in the Spanish diets. 4. The Spanish had to import African slaves due to the lack of indigenous population and their weaknesses. The south of Mexico in particular has plenty of African descendants like myself. So, the collapse of the indigenous population brought about an increase of the slave traffic in Europe. The Spanish tried to create a caste system to separate the African from the rest, but they failed at it, because the Spanish themselves started procreating with the Africans. 5. This is why many present day Mexicans have a genetic profile of the three “sources”, European, indigenous and African, and why we never had a segregation history like the USA did, because all our families are MIXED. Even the ones of European descent

[@Gearparadummies]

Minerva, enslavement of Mexicans was banned by law in 1510 by Isabel la Católica. That's why African slaves had to be imported, because the Decree left them out of its scope and specifically included a mandate to marry the local populace. Ah, slaves don't rise through a stamental(not caste) system. Indigenous people did. Los "indios" fueron nombrados súbditos de la Corona. Los esclavos no tienen esa consideración. Here's a excerpt of Isabel La Católica's will. “e non consientan e den lugar que los indios vezinos e moradores en las dichas Indias e tierra firme, ganadas e por ganar, reciban agravio alguno en sus personas e bienes; mas mando que sea bien e justamente tratados. E si algún agravio han rescebido, lo remedien e provean, por manera que no se exceda en cosa alguna de lo que por las Letras Apostólicas de la dicha concessión nos es inyungido e mandado.” Un saludo.

So, I studied Occupational Health and Safety Science at Uni. I have to say, most of the symptoms do kind of mimic metal poisoning, like from mercury, arsenic, lead, flourine, etc (or a mix there-of), all of which were released in significant amounts into groundwater of mexico during the extensive silver mining of the 1500s. And the cocoliztli outbreaks were localised in specific areas and valleys, during heavy drought or fheavy flooding. In both cases, groundwater would be heavily relied upon for drinking water, where rivers and lakes would otherwise have been the watersources. Were floodwater drunk, it would also likely be further contaminated. In any case, richer spaniards, even if they remained in the area, would largely rely on shipped-in stored water, filtered water, alcohols, etc. Thye would not likley be working in the mines, would not likely be living as near to the mines, and would likely be eating very different food, avoiding bioaccumulation that native mexicans may have been exposed to. Just saying. Skin lesions, fever, thirst, jaundice and cysts, bloody and frequent vomiting and diarrhoea/dysentery, breathing difficulties, muscle twitching, headaches, bloody eyes, nose and ears, kidney, liver and spleen failure, chest and abodminal pains, dementia, etc. Doctors not getting the disease despite exposure. Sudden outbreak of the disease, but highly localised to areas. Abrupt change of outbreak frequency aligning with the beginining of a rain season. Acute onset of disease, with minimal prior symptoms. Frequent relapse. Again, just saying.
