Muchos anglos se creen el ombligo del mundo. Demuestran ser bastante incultos en lo que a geografía e historia se refiere. España fue el país más poderoso durante 300 años, descubrió y conquistó América e hizo de ese continente ( parte española ) la zona la más rica de la época, hasta las mal llamadas independencias, ya que se trató de una guerras civiles de secesión, por supuesto apoyados por los británicos. España tiene mejores infraestructuras que EEUU, RU y AUSTRALIA y de Europa, mejor transporte público, España es líder en Europa en Fibra óptica ultrarrápida, tiene instalada más que Alemania, RU, Francia e Italia juntas, España es el 7º exportador de armamento del mundo, lo sabe bien Australia por los portaviones y fragatas que le ha comprado. España tiene más seguridad y mejor sistema sanitario que estos países, ya que está en los primeros puestos. España es el país más saludable del mundo en 2019, España es el país con más reservas de la Biosfera del mundo, España es el tercer país con más patrimonio de la humanidad, con 48 lugares, España es el país con más y mejores playas de Europa y con más banderas azules en el mundo, España es el 2º país más montañoso de Europa, sin contar los microestados de Andorra y Luxemburgo, España tiene las empresas constructoras más importantes del mundo ( Canal de Panamá, Metro de Riad, Tren de alta velocidad a la Meca- Arabia Saudí, etc. ), 2º País en recepción de turistas en el mundo, se encuentra entre los países con mejor gastronomía del mundo, y así podría estar hasta mañana. El problema es que los Británicos y otros países pertenecientes al mundo protestante, más Francia, crearon una leyenda negra de España. Ocultando a su pueblo todas sus derrotas ante España a lo largo de la historia. Te dejo una muestra y verás que fuimos el enemigo principal de Gran Bretaña, ya que ansiaban las riquezas en las tierras españolas, por eso mismo se comportaron como piratas. Spanish victories over the English 1 Victorias españolas sobre los ingleses 1 kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYjcp6KNr9Zme68 Spanish victories over the English 2 Victorias españolas sobre los ingleses 2 kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYSbpYNvrNpljZI Te recomiendo que veas esta conferencia y te darás cuenta de los infundios británicos sobre España. MITOS Y VERDADES DE NUESTRA HERENCIA HISPÁNICA - Pablo Victoria kzbin.info/www/bejne/iICwlqSEiJqLga8 También EEUU le debe parte de su independencia a Francia, pero se la debe bastante más a España, que fue la que puso el dinero, las armas y los hombres, ganando Bernardo de Galvez siete batallas consecutivas a los Británicos, cuando poco antes George Washington, había perdido seis batallas consecutivas y lo iban a destituir. Por cierto, el Dolar viene del Real de a 8 español, que era la moneda global de la época. Coge un Dolar y adivina de donde proceden las dos columnas y la S sobre éstas. España tenía la mitad de población que Gran Bretaña y una tercera parte de Francia. En la actualidad tiene 47.000.000 y es la economía número 13 del mundo y subiendo. En sus mejores momento llegó a ser la 8ª. ¿A qué se debe que las Colonias inglesas hayan progresado más que las españolas? Se trata de un mito moderno que parte de la percepción que los contemporáneos tienen del Reino Unido de hoy. Como es una ´´potencia mundial´´, con una gran riqueza económica, entonces se asume que las excolonias británicas son también de mayor progreso. Sin embargo, las excolonias británicas que en el arquetipo mundial tienen un progreso económico estable y gran influencia, son en realidad muy pocas: Los Estados Unidos se asume como excolonia británica, pero eso es muy subjetivo y nada preciso. Las colonias británicas en lo que hoy es el territorio de los Estados Unidos de América, eran trece de norte a sur: Massachusetts, Nuevo Hampshire, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Nueva York, Pennsylvania, Nueva Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, Carolina del Norte, Carolina del Sur y Georgia. Si ves el territorio británico en lo que hoy es el territorio estadounidense, las trece colonias eran un territorio muy reducido. Más grandes eran el llamado territorio indio y el de ESPAÑA. Por lo tanto, la mayor parte de lo que hoy es el territorio estadounidense, era colonia española, por eso mismo tienes nombres hispanos en la mayoría de estados de la unión (California, Florida, Las Vegas, Los Ángeles, Miami y un inmenso etcétera). Hay además otro detalle: ninguna de las trece colonias británicas en lo que hoy son los EEUU, tenía el mismo nivel de desarrollo económico que las mal llamadas ``colonias españolas´´ de la época. Ciudades como México, La Habana, Cartagena de Indias, Lima, Quito, etc, tenían más actividad comercial y desarrollo que cualquiera de las esas trece colonias. Como nota curiosa, Nueva York se incluye, pero en realidad se llamaba Nueva Amsterdam porque era de los neerlandeses. La conquista del viejo oeste no lo hacen los británicos, sino los estadounidenses de esas trece colonias una vez se independizaron de la Corona. Canadá es un país moderno, pero siempre fue un territorio muy vasto y vacío. Su progreso moderno no se debe a que haya sido colonia británica - otro término debatible, porque gran parte de su territorio fue colonia francesa, la cual tiene más influencia en el ethos canadiense que los británicos -, sino a que en tiempos más modernos ha hecho un gran esfuerzo para construir un país progresivo y en paz a partir de la integración de su gran diversidad étnica y sus riquezas naturales. Australia es como Canadá, debido a un gran esfuerzo más bien en los tiempos modernos. Hasta la mitad del siglo XX, Australia era un país pobre e incógnito. Por otro lado, durante la colonia británica, no fue apreciado por los británicos, sino que fue convertido en una de las prisiones más grandes del Planeta. Allí enviaban a los criminales del tiempo, lo que hizo que, además, los australianos de hoy poseen un gran mestizaje. Nueva Zelanda es quizá uno de los países más interesantes en términos de progreso, convivencia y paz. Pero en sus tiempos como colonia británica no era tan apreciado por los británicos como sí apreciaban por ejemplo a sus colonias africanas o asiáticas. Estos cuatro países (Estados Unidos, Canadá, Australia y Nueva Zelanda), cuya pertenencia al mundo británico es bastante discutible, por ejemplo en el caso estadounidense, son los que alimentan el mito de que las excolonias británicas son más ricas que de las otras potencias europeas. Lo más curioso, y como se sugiere arriba, es que las colonias británicas más queridas para ellos no eran lo que hoy son esos cuatro países. Las que los británicos querían a muerte y defendieron hasta el fin, eran las colonias en África y en Asia. Por ejemplo lo que hoy es Nigeria e India. Ahora, si vemos lo que esas excolonias africanas y asiáticas son hoy por hoy, el mito se ve seriamente afectado. Si analizas la historia de la India como colonia británica y la comparas con las trece colonias británicas en EEUU, la diferencia es abismal. India era la niña consentida de los británicos. Invirtieron allí a sus mejores hombres e, incluso, haciendo al subcontinente un esclavo de sus ambiciones, llegaron a intentar britanizar a los hindúes - eso como un ejemplo, pero lo mismo hicieron en Birmania, Suráfrica… Pero aunque hoy la India es considerada una potencia mundial, no es lo que el mito del británico colonialista sugiere. India es hoy por hoy un país controvertido en donde siguen presentes las castas, la miseria y el lujo y la pobreza funcional. Espero que te sirva de algo esta pequeña clase de historia y no te creas todo aquello que te han contado en la escuela, ya que la historia Britanica es un cuento chino, a la vez que han falseado la historia de los demás, en este caso la de España. ( No te parece extraño semejante desconocimiento sobre España ). Un saludo.

Se me olvidaba, fue el Imperio más grande en Extensión con 20-5 millones de km2, como ejemplo el imperio romano tuvo 8 millones de km2. Se componía de la mayor parte de Sudamérica, Centroamérica, México, gran parte de lo que hoy es EEUU y Brasil, así como Portugal, Países bajos ( Holanda y Bélgica ) parte de lo que hoy es Alemania y gran parte de lo que es Italia, además de Filipinas, Guam y otras islas. En tiempo de Felipe II, se decía que en España NO SE PONÍA EL SOL, por lo extensa que era. Gran Bretaña tuvo más extensión, pero le duró muy poco tiempo, sin embargo el imperio español duró siglos. Por eso resulta llamativo que, se desconozca la historia de España, ya que es parte de la historia de nuestra civilización ( del mundo ). Pregúntate el porqué. Por eso mismo, te recomiendo que visiones la conferencia y te llamará la atención muchas cosas, y te preguntarás como es posible que no te lo hayan enseñado o te lo hayan contado de manera muy distinta. Alexander von Humboldt (Prusia, 1769-1859), geógrafo, astrónomo, naturalista y viajero “La Humanidad debe gratitud eterna a la Monarquía española, pues la multitud de expediciones científicas que ha financiado ha hecho posible la extensión de los conocimientos geográficos.” “Por virtud de un prejuicio muy generalizado en Europa hay la creencia de que se han conservado muy pocos indígenas de tinte cobrizo… En la Nueva España, el número de indígenas se eleva a dos millones, contando sólo los que no tienen mezcla de sangre europea… Y lo que es más consolador aún, habrá que repetirlo, lejos de extinguirse, la población india ha aumentado considerablemente durante los últimos cincuenta años, como lo prueban los registros de la capitación y los tributos”. “Los monarcas de España, tomando el título de Reyes de las Indias, han considerado estas provincias lejanas más bien como partes integrantes de su monarquía, y como provincias dependientes de la Corona de Castilla, y no como colonias en el sentido que, desde el siglo XVI, ha significado esta voz para el resto de pueblos de Europa”. “Ninguna ciudad del nuevo continente, sin exceptuar las de Estados Unidos, presenta establecimientos científicos tan grandiosos y sólidos como la capital de la Nueva España”. “¡Esto debe saberse en Europa! Los mineros de la Nueva España son los mejores pagados del mundo, ellos reciben de seis a siete veces más salario por su labor, que un minero alemán.” Sus libros los tienes en internet traducidos, viajó por toda Nueva España, o bien puedes leer a Charles F. Lummis (EEUU, 1854-1928), historiador. “[…] Los españoles no exterminaron a ninguna nación aborigen como exterminaron docenas de ellas nuestros antepasados los […]”. Y en tiempos de los romanos: «Esta Hispania produce los durísimos soldados, ésta los expertísimos capitanes, ésta los fecundísimos oradores, ésta los clarísimos vates, ésta es madre de jueces y príncipes, ésta dio para el Imperio a Trajano, a Adriano, a Teodosio», citó en su obra el retórico galo Pacato, a finales del siglo IV. Una frase que da cuenta de la importancia que alcanzó la provincia de Hispania, que sirvió de lugar de nacimiento a tres de los emperadores más importantes en la historia de Roma y al filosofo Séneca entre otros. Un saludo.

As an American, I have to say you were generous in giving us the highest marks on the questions. All three countries need to go back to basic geography class! LOL. Regarding your comment that both Spain and Mexico speak the same language... I have traveled extensively in both Mexico and Spain. While the official language of both countries is "Spanish", Mexican Spanish is so different from the Spanish spoken in Spain. But then again what Spanish is spoken in Spain? LOL. In Madrid they speak Castiliano, which most people consider to be the "pure" Spanish. But travel to Barcelona and they speak Catalan/Valenciano, and travel to San Sebastian or Bilbao and you hear mostly Basque spoken. There's also Galiciano and a few other regional "Co-official" languages or dialects. But the good news is that most Spaniards speak enough Castiliano even if it is not their first language. Good video! Gracias! (and I pronounced that 'GRA the us' by the way) LOL

Mexican Spanish and Spanish Spanish are as different but mainly in pronunciation and some slang words but not different enough to impede intelligibility. It may be hard if you're not a native speaker and have learned a certain variety of the language. I'm a native Spaniard and have never had the slightest trouble communicating with Mexicans, Argentineans, Chileans, Cubans, Colombians, etc. I learned UK English and sometimes it takes a bit of effort to adapt my ears to other varieties of English, not so much anymore due to exposure to American films and TV series for instance. As far as languages in Spain, there are 3 main languages apart from Spanish ( Catalan/Valencian, Galician and Basque) but virtually every speaker of those languages is fluent or bilingual in Spanish. I'm Andalusian and my variety of Spanish and the variety spoken in the Canary Islands are said to be the base of Latin American Spanish

As a Spaniard, what surprises me the most about Americans is their enormous ignorance about Spain when it is a fundamental part of their culture. Until 1821 3/4 of the current United States were part of the Viceroyalty of New Spain, ergo it was SPAIN. Many of the names of the states or of their geography are Spanish, the cowboys have their origin in Spain, many state flags use symbols of ancient Spain, the first colony founded in the United States was Spanish, even the American dollar was adopted of the Spanish dollar and Spain was decisive, even more than France, in achieving their independence against the English. How is it possible that they have completely erased all the very important Spanish legacy of their culture? . I forgive Australians for their ignorance about Spain because they live in the antipodes, although many of the Spanish and Portuguese voyages of exploration of the 16th century passed through Australia. In fact, the Portuguese were the first Europeans to set foot in Australia, but incredibly all that part of history has been literally erased from popular Anglo-Saxon historiography. I don't know if that ignorance is amazing or insulting. How can you ask if Spain is in Europe, when you cannot understand the history of Europe without one of the main powers, in its time the greatest and most powerful of all of them and one of the oldest countries is absolutely amaze me. From the geographical part it just makes me laugh, I am from the north of Spain which is in the same latitude (43ºN) of Toronto (Canada), how the hell can anyone believe that here we have a desert climate if we are in the latitude of Canada and Northern United States ?. Is Canada a tropical country?

Throughout his life it is really very difficult to find Britons who have not visited Spain at least once ... and many do so year after year for decades.

Pero la fecha oficial en la que España se creó (el siglo XV con la unión de Castilla y Aragón) tenemos que ya existían: Francia, Portugal, Inglaterra, Italia, Dinamarca, Noruega (así de memoria, quizás haya más).

Dear Elyce, I have a few questions for Australians who ask you questions about Spain, Europe, etc. Here they are: is Australia in Europe? Is Australia between Ireland, England, and Scotland? Do they speak Japanese in Australia? Is Australia a province of New Zealand? Is Australia populated only by native aborigines? Is Australia landlocked in Asia? Best regards,

From a Spaniard. I don't know if I should laugh or burst into tears. Yeah, I get we had a dictatorship (like many other developed countries) form 1939-1975. The country was self-isolated and did not develop as the same speed as the rest of Europe until the 60s, when the catching up began. That was 60 years ago. Now Spain is a top ranked Full Democracy and a Developed country by any index. Check the Democracy index compiled by The Economist About language: do they speak Japanese in Japan? Do they speak Chinese in China? Do they speak English in England? C'mon humans, the name of a language comes from were it began to be spoken. About being a country: I'm just gonna go for crying... I enjoyed much more the honorable mentions. Yes, we have lots of rabbits, mainly subspecies called "European hare". You can find them in any supermarket near the chicken in one piece. Roasted is best (google "conejo al ajillo)". My grandfather used to hunt them with his Greyhound. It's a traditional Spanish cuisine dish.

"Spain" stems from "Hispania" the Roman name for all the peninsula, and this stems from "Ispanya", or something similar, name given by the Phoenicians, which supposedly meant "Land of Rabbits". Anyhow, it's just a theory, the most credible one, but not definitely proven. The truth is that "Oryctolagus Cuniculus" have existed in Spain for thousands of years, whereas in Australia was introduced pretty recently. Cheers

Hahaha I think that the British think southern europe lives in eternal summer - but as an Australian I think people would be more surprised by how hot the summer actually is somewhere like Seville because we can't imagine anywhere in Europe being as hot as it is in Australia

Estima Elyce, supongo ahora entiendes porque desde España detestamos ese nivel de cultura tan bajo que se tiene en esos países. Ok, no es necesario que sepan mucho sobre España pero hay preguntas que son totalmente absurdas. España es gran parte de la historia de la humanidad, y no conocer nada de esa historia dice poco u malo del nivel educativo de esos paises

De acuerdo. Me da mucho verguenza. Creo q. Necesitan más clases de historía en esos países...mucho más 🙏🏼
