Hey can you do a series or video on Mughal-maratha wars?

The Scottish attempt at siezing Panama or the Swedish attempt in Maryland, Ghana and others are bizarre and very interesting topics. It was actually one of the main reasons Scotland joined the union in 1707, being broke from expeditions.

I think a very odd colonial pursuit was the colonies acquired by the knights hospitaller being the smallest nation to ever acquire colonies
In Finland during the 1920s there were some people who wanted to acquire a part of present-day Namibia. The initiative was led by people who had left Finland to work as missionaries in the area, so beyond the usual power projection politics of the day there was kind of a moralistic bend to it. Nothing came out of it, but apparently you can still find namibians who have finnish-sounding first names because of the missionary work.
Martti Rautanen helped to develop Ovambo culture. He helped them achieve things like written language. Apparently he is greatly respected by the Ovambo of Namibia for that.
I would like to know more about the Russians in Djibouti.
Russia in Hawaii

As you mentioned Hans Staden, it's worth noting that other germans and also italians participated in the beginning of the colonization, at the service of Spain and Portugal as mercenaries or qualified people in some areas. Thats also the case much later with the dutch West India Company, which brought, at least in their 24 years in Brazil, people from different origins employed by them, like the german governor Mauritius von Nassau and the polish military engineer colonel Arciszewski (just to name 2 of the most famous in the top ranks).
Some of those people settled and stayed beyond their contract, raising family
What a weird collection of stories.
Kind of like Germany back then I guess, a weird collection of states.
dame this is interesting more people should cover topic like this especially you and history with hilbert (side note here i really like you and his art styles) we should not always learn about the most famous events in history obscure stuff like this is also interesting and should be learned about more really like this to see some one to care about things like this thanks
Everytime i saw your comments, you always give one of the most interesting and insightful comment for the videos, great job.
🇮🇩❤️🇵🇰
Fun fact about the Welser family: they claimed that they are somehow descendent from Belisarius (yes, that one). I guess that is the sort of a silly thing that happens when you are a rich and powerful house in Renaissance Europe but, instead of being old aristocracy, you are some burghers that got ridiculously wealthy and are compensating too hard.
I love how much you cover the Western hemisphere. Most of your videos are on topics I've never come across before. Your channel is much appreciated.
11:25 You really REALLY should do a video on von Humboldt, a very underrated character in history
Suriname is a Dutch-speaking country in South-America as it was a Dutch Colony and off the coast of Venezuela you Aruba, Bonaire & Curacao who are Autonomous States and Special Municipality of the Netherlands The Official language is Dutch but the Native Language is Papiamento/Papiamentu. The Higher on the windward Islands there are Sint Marteen( one half is Dutch the other half of the island is a French territory) , Sint Eustatius and Saba who are also Autonomous States and Special Municipality of the Netherlands The Official language is also Dutch but the native language is English
Yeah, I have family in aruba
There was a greek request on the Versailles treaty that Cyrene in modern day Libya would be handed to Greece.
Plus many african cities, like juba, capital of south sudan were founded by Greeks, but i dont know if this was an organised effort for the establishment of a colony
Aside from the Courlanders, my favourite strange colonization attempt has got to be the Ragusan trading colony near Goa, India
I remember first learning about this in AOE3. Keep up the great work, Jazby. You're really helping to fill a niche topic in history (early modern exploration and colonization) that I don't see many other history CZcamsrs cover in any real detail besides SandRhoman history and Pike and Shot Channel.
Hey there Jabzy, I would love for you to do something on the Darien Scheme! A move that effectively bankrupted the Scottish crown and added to the spiral that would crush the Scott’s.
It would be in topic with this recent video and it includes Scottish Affairs in Panama
Buenísimo saludos desde Venezuela
@Jabzy, I can't knock your hustle with "keeps".
Maracaibo is too hot, they had to go further to the center, where now is the Guaira and there go to Caracas, the climate is cool, and they could have established a colony there, with time they could take control of more territory and reached the south and find treasures, but they didn't do it so bad for them haha.
Lanfan in west Borneo. It was an independent Chinese state allied to the Qing empire. It started off as a kongsi (essentially a cooperative democratic business settlement of Chinese people looking to make their money abroad) that became so big, well organised, wealthy and powerful it became a state. It controlled territory, engaged in diplomacy, and ultimately got caught up fighting the Dutch and invaded. The Qing didn't respond to their calls for help despite years of traditional tribute and even political assurances
Very interresting. I didnt know this. Another reason why I sub so long ago. We long for more History from Jabzy!
And I personally would vote for a 1519 HRE Empore Election Video
I've done one on the 1519 election, towards the beginning of the year
other interesting maybe colonies: Belgium in Texas, Belgium in Cuba, before they settled in Congo.
Danish colony in India is pretty wild to me.
Another forgotten french attempt to make a colony in Brasil was the Equinoctial France in São Luis Island in Maranhão right besides the Amazon Rain Forest.
There was also a Dutch Brazil!
Have you covered the Adelsverein and the multi-national German attempt to establish a colony in Texas yet?
That was one hell of a Keeps ad I have to say
More videos please
@Jabzy can you please make a video about the Iron Guard from Romania and the legionary movement, and Oswald Mosley from England.
I first heard about this years ago in a reprint of Scrooge Mcduck's adventures (the last lord of Edorado). Weird how comics can teach you about these little quirky historical facts.
8:23 this is a portrait of Gonzalo Jiménez de Quesada, not Federmann.
Next video do about the failed colony of Sagallo in Djibouti. Russians wanted a piece of the African action.
That will be mentioned in the scramble for Africa series
Welser were very incompetent in their colonial management. They didn't fullfil the contract, they did much less than was agreed. So they lost the concession by the Emperor Charles. If their management had been good, they would have continued. In fact, they didn't attract many German settlers to Venezuela, leaving it as a target for the English, French, Dutch and Portuguese Navies.They were a complete disaster
More on it yeah
I never had any idea of this!
The Dutch East India Company (VOC) was not in the West, that was the Dutch West Indian Company (WIC).
Hey Jabzy are you still in Turkey with the currency catastrophe? Also please post your sources somewhere.
The Dutch were not always in Curacao ,Bonaire or Aruba. Originally they took Over Tortuga Island ,Araya peninsula and mainland Venezuela in a place called Unare. After so many sea battles and land battles ,the only solution the Spaniards found was to destroy the salt pans on those areas. Large flotillas of Dutch ships exploited them for decades. Even today from satellite pictures you can see a mayor work done during colonial times ,they diverted the course of the Unare river to destroy those salt pans in the main land (huge lagoons were created). Once they moved to the ABC islands ,a Dutch ship coming from their small colony in Tobago escaped a Huge French Invasion made of more than 20 man-o-war. This small dutch ship dropped a bunch of buckets with candles in between the archipielago of Las Aves. The complete French fleet thought it was a Dutch flotilla and in chasing them they lost the whole fleet (even today they keep on finding Brass cannons) .. X-D. I would say somehow Dutch also attempted to colonize Venezuela ,that there stood longer than Klein Venedig
Portuguese colonisation of Canada. Portuguese discovery of Australia.
I think a cool colonization attempt was Germany wanting to take Texas when it had become independent
This German/Venezuelan chapter is so perplexing...
Tuscany nearly colonized French Guiana called the Thornton Expedition
Makes sense since the, at the time royal family of Tuscany, de' Medici reeeaaally liked ananas
This is fantastic. Will have to lookup those families and see what happened to them -2% of all Europe’s wealth, wow
do forgotten attempts by Italian-city states that almost colonize the areas outside Mediterranean Basin (for instance Siberia, Americas, Southeast Asia, or Africa)?
Specially In that region in Zulia, which is located Maracaibo city, (also known by the popular song Luisa Lu Colombo - Maracaibo) The Second Biggest city in Venezuela and the most hotter too and rich are located very big community of White Venezuelans, but the most interesting part isn't the white people, is actually the majoritarian popular population who has Dark skin and Blue, Yellow and Green eyes and, very common also to find Family members very drastically mixed which your mom can be white and your Dad Darker but nobody knows how will be the next son looks like. it's happen in all Venezuela but in Zulia State is very normal. Venezuela has rich interesting culture, unique like Brazil for Portuguese Empire and USA for British Empire. The history never known was that the "City El Dorado" wasn't actually a city, was a country called Venezuela!. Take everything in consideration about what happens now, for the first time in Venezuela's History, the population is forced to migrate for better future thanks of something called "Socialism XXI". It is now Venezuelans are watching the world by their eyes how it works, having big changes in mind and culture of a country which was very closed and conservatives by their popular population. Nice video material!. Information confirmed. Good Job!. Thank You!
Poland after First World War tried to get some colonies. In Brazil, which angered Brazilians, on Madagascar and also allied Liberia.
when Borneo almost being an Austrian colony, 19th century.
Oof!! Learnt a bit about it in History subject when I was in secondary school

Oy vey!
@@Phantom-xp2co example more
The french tried to colonise most of brazil in the XVI and XVII century's, the frança antartica was just the most famous case, usually they would build a fort and use it as a trading post, allying with natives rival to the natives allied to the portuguese in the region
One of this forts for instance, taken by the Portuguese after the battle of Guaxenduba is the city of São Luis, one of the greatest cities of the country with more than one million inhabitants
The english and the dutch also had lots of colonies in brazil, with other state capital, the city of macapa, being founded by the english on the amazon river
The dutch invasion of Brazil is one of the most fantastical parts of our history and its my personal favorite
But what I think is the most strange colonization attempt ever was one that never got out of paper
In the late 1500s, the Moroccan kingdom was at his zenith, they had trashed their greatest rival at a great battle and destroying the remains of the sahel empires of songhai e mali
So two of the greatest rulers of all time, Al mansur and Elizabeth I made an alliance to fight the Spanish
One of the plans was for the English to send a great fleet to Morocco where they would send a giant expedition to the Americas, with the immediate objective of cutting the Spanish from the silver mines, but with the plan of taking colonies and dividing the colonies of the Iberian union
But the plan was discarded in favor of an attack on Portugal
the Geographical location as well as the political situation of the HRE were far from ideal for becoming a colonial empire.
Yup. They had to travel through Dutch, English, French, Spanish and Portuguese waters just to get out of Europe. Germany will always have this problem too.
There are still a few dietsch speakers down there. Grüße aus Gradac Austrija brate moj
Persian had some ambitions Zanzibar
I think some people in there still celebrate some sort of Nowruz
Welser are the descent of the Byzantine General Flavius Belisarius. Quite a Prestigious heritage
I have a puzzle to try to solve from my genetic report. I have 2.3% native S. American in there, but its so spread out. There's Peru, Columbia, Puerto Rico, and less than 1% Mexican. Also some from two areas in India.
My ancestors, 97.3% Euro, had itchy feet. 😂
Itchy something.
@@westrim You beat me to it 😂😂. However she's made an incorrect assumption based probably on being a westerner. Ruthanne, you're assuming that each subset is from a different area. What probably happened given the percentages - one of your ancestors copped off with a native a few generations back. Probably a female incidentally, although you'd need more tests to be sure. You are probably 3-7% neanderthal too - be happy it's why Europeans are more resistant to cv19..
The India bit is probably something similar but either further back or a less direct relation.
2:50 you're welcome
If in this timeline the dutch carribean and dutch guyana united with german venezuela that would be funny to see a big germanic nation in mostly hispanic and anglo americas
On strange colonial stuff the german africa holdings where profs, merchants and other orpotunist startet the scramble for africa because the german Gouverment didn't want to have colonies at that point.
Latvia is the only Baltic nation that did established at least one colony in Americas (modern-day Trinidad and Tobago)
or
Poland also one of the two Slavic states (other being Russia) that successfully set up settlement on Americas via Latvia only short lived.
He mentioned Kurland. Latvia didn't exist then.
Can't wait for an hoi4 submod for this.
Ah yes, the Imperial expedition to Lustria.

I already knew about this but da%#. It’s a shame this colony failed because if it hadn’t, German language and culture could have been so much more widespread like their other European counterparts.
1 of the many minor colonial powers in history.
Poland had attempted to colonize Madagascar several times and there was one Polish Explorer who was proclaimed "King of Madagascar".
Also the Belgian Attempt at Colonizing India, South Africa, Wisconsin, Cyprus, Argentinia, Texas, and Portugual the Country.
It wasn't exactly German, because there was no country of Germany at the time. Most of what is now Germany was part of the Holy Roman Empire as was Austria. The Austro Hungarian emperor Charles v was also the King of Spain and Archduke of Austria. His grandson Ferdinand II married Phillipine Welder.
There was no Austria-Hungary before the 19th century, just the Archduchy of Austria and the Kingdom of Hungary
Also there were Germans as this ethnicity preceeds a nation state. The same goes for Italians, Greeks in the Ottoman Empire without Greece, Slovakians when there was no Slovakia, Kurdish people today etc.
@@sualtam9509 correct, europeans knew their own nationality, even in the middle ages.
Hence why the full name of the HRE became "Holy Roman Empire of the GERMAN Nation" in 1512
That Explains Inflations / Economic Crises both in Venezuela and Weimar Republic!Germany
3:10 your Polish flag is upside down and Indonesian. Poland is full of white people, white on top. ;-)
Still is.
You forgot to mention Neizches sister - right wing nutteress - and all the inbreeding in the German South America colonies. We're talking Appalachian-grade plus here and they're still at it.
Germany with the oil and gold from Venezuela would today be the best economy in the world. 🇩🇪🛢🇻🇪
Strange colonial pursuits: canada in the Caribbean. Mostly Jamaica and Turks and Caicos if my understanding is correct.
