I’m mexican and a history nerd, but when it comes to Mexico, there’s just way too much
Same fam in every single province there’s at least one type of war where Spain attempts to take control 😂 but they always failed
This video is hella Wrong when they said texas wanted to leave nah.. they took that shit by force this Uk Commentator off the pookie
@@KenshinAlex7 They didn't provide much detail on that point.
Ostensibly, Texas declared independence from Mexico due to Mexico outlawing slavery, and the rise of Santa Anna and his repeal of the Mexican constitution.
Santa Anna's actions were in response to the USA illegally flooding the Mexican territory of Texas with Anglo immigrants who weren't paying taxes, many of which were bringing slaves with them which was also now illegal under Mexican law. And the Mexican American war was basically the USA looking for any pretext to start a war with the objective of taking as much Mexican territory as possible, which was the plan all along.
@@HermanVonPetri well explained brother they also finessed California, New Mexico and afew other pieces, texas used to be called new Philippines when Mexico was called New Spain
@@HermanVonPetri The American immigrants didn't illegally flood Mexico. Mexico invited them, which was a dumb move. The US may have baited Mexico into war & annexation, but they took the bait at every turn.
A correction, Mexico does not mean "The place of the Mexicas", as the video maintains, it means "The navel of the moon", since the Mexicas believed that the lake of Mexico was a reflection of the image of the rabbit that they saw in our natural satellite, and they believed that the center of the city, Mexico, was indeed the navel.
And the word México comes from the nauatl language.
El Imperio español fue el menos malo de todos los Imperios posibles ,España era la heredera del Imperio Romano e hizo una grandísima obra por 3l mundo, llevando la civilización europea junto al cristianismo y la lengua española. 🇪🇸💞
@@anacasanova7350 No me sorprende que alguien con el nombre tipico europeo diga algo asi. El imperio español es uno de los imperios mas violentos y asquerosos de historia.
One other possible translation is "Land of the war god" i think.
@@anacasanova7350 El Imperio Espagnol causo un genocidio immenso y destruyo quada edificio, templo y pyramide en la ciudad de Mexico-Tenochtitlan. Y luego utilisaron los indigenos de Mexico como esclavos durante varios sieclos. Los espagnoles quemaron todos los libros Aztecas y prohibian a los indigenos de hablar lus lenguages y de practircar sus culturas. El imperio espagnol era terrible y yo tendria verguenza de decir lo que tu acabas de decir
Anthony Bourdain said about Mexico "A
beautiful colonial architecture and a tragic, elegant, violent, absurd, heroic, regrettable and heartbreaking story. Mexico's wine regions compete with Tuscany for beauty. Its archaeological sites, the remains of great empires, unparalleled anywhere. And, as much as we think we know and love it, we've barely scratched the surface of what Mexican food really is. It is NOT melted cheese on a tortilla. It is neither simple nor easy. A true mole sauce, for example, may take DAYS to make, a balance of fresh (always fresh) ingredients, meticulously prepared by hand. It could be, should be, one of the most exciting cuisines on the planet."🇲🇽❤️🇬🇧
The best thing about this is, you are learning about other cultures. Everyone around the world has great history but we forget to care...
They butcher the hell outa the Mexican city names tho especially Zacatecas 😂😂
By 'great', I hope you mean there's a lot. Mexican history is more tragic than great.
@@momentary_ if you think our history is tragic I wonder what u think about the United States and Canada on there means of obtaining land 😂
@@KenshinAlex7 The only really tragic parts of United States history were the killing of the natives and the slavery of the Africans. There are other things like the war for independence, a civil war, ongoing racism and discrimination and a handful of presidential assassinations, but overall, United States history seems peaceful compared to Mexican history that's marred with several genocides, subjugation by others and extreme corruption.
@@momentary_ immense cap if you add the atrocious they’ve done globally
More Mexico videos please
Yes I agree
Yes please, would be great
BC = Before Christ
AD = Anno Domini (Year of our Lord)
BCE = Before Common Era
CE = Common Era
it's Anno Domini, and modern scholars don't use it anymore. BCE and CE are much preferred now.
No all Mexican history is about wars, last century there was a long period of stability called “El milagro Mexicano”.
Necesitamos ese milagro ahora mismo porque la corrupción esta fuerte aquí, no tan fuerte, pero que no nos permite progresar
It wasn't a century long
Aahh, yeah! We learned about that last period.
Okay but the fact that it's called a miracle is hilarious lmao
@@user-jp8me2hf4o because it was
Mexico was going up, and it was improving after all the BS previous PRI candidates did
I wish people knew more about how the Spaniards invaded Mexico, because I get a lot of flack for “not looking Mexican” since I look white even though all my family originated from Mexico 🤦♀️
Edit: The point of this comment was that most people (at least in the U.S., even Mexicans themselves (that I’ve met at least), think of the stereotype that Mexicans have tanned skin with dark hair. I most definitely do have Spaniard blood, but that doesn’t take away that I myself am very much Mexican. I’ve literally had people say “But you’re white” or “You’re not a real Mexican” to me. People are just so ignorant about race in this country istg
We're you also born in Mexico
My mother is actually a native Mexican while by dad is more Spanish. Both are Mexican obviously. We live in the us and people always think my dad is american because of how European he looks.
@@handlebucket6285 yea but were you born in Mexico or not
@@UL71M4 What does that have to do with anything?
@@handlebucket6285 its just that some people call then selves mexicanos even though they're not from Mexico
He forgot the whole period where Mexico owned the entire left side of the usa
He talked about it in a different video
Don’t forget Florida
@@KenshinAlex7 Mexico didn't own Florida, the Spanish did.
@@xviper2k The Colony of Spain, New Spain which was Mexico Owned it You idiot 😂 so it was part of the Colony itself too
@@xviper2k did you think it was just it’s Own fucken country part of Spain ?😂 even Central America entirely was part of mexico Till the 1820’s
De mi Rancho a Tu Cocina is a constant youtuber I go to when I am trying to recreate authentic Mexican dishes since I am no longer near the border.
Their older videos is where I would say to go, those definitely have English subtitles.
She is such a sweetheart.
this this this
You should check the daughter's channel as well. It's Pretty good its called La Cocina En El Rancho .
Sorry for bothering you so much with this request Thurston, but I’m glad you finally got around to it 😁 you have a lot of Mexican/Mexican American supporters like myself who’d love for you to react to more Mexican videos🇲🇽
I'm glad he mentioned the Spanish caste system. It explains a lot of the power dynamics in the colonies. My family were peninsulares and criollo in Cuba and left in 1907, after the 1st revolution.
I think you are confused. The people from Europe are still many of the Mexican's ancestors. Most of Mexico are mixed ancestry.
There is a book I read in college called “Song of the Hummingbird” by Graciela limón. In that book she tells the story of an old lady who was an Aztec and she is ready to convert to Christianity at an old old age, but in her confession to father Benito she instead retells the story of the Spanish conquest with information the priest had not been through off before in spin. Amazing book to read I really recommend it
I have mixed feelings about this video. The pre-columbian and pre-revolution treatment was not bad. This video is a HUGE FAILURE in the omission of Lázaro Cardenas del Río and the modernization and reforms in the 20th and 21st centuries. It leaves the viewer off on a bad note that doesn't accurately portray Mexico's current accomplishments and challenges.
Keep doing Mexican videos. I'm loving this thread! 😻🇲🇽
Also I feel they left a lot out due to also limited research as an outside source... But also the educational system spent 7 years teaching the history to us... I feel more specific videos about history parts would help better, Mexico at the end is rich in history.
I luv when someone speaks about Lázaro "El tata" Cárdenas, the best president in Mexican history imo
I agree.
You could react to Ford Quarterman is an American from the state of Georgia who lives and shows everything about my country Mexico, in his videos he speaks in Spanish and again in English but all his videos subtitle them to English at all times.
he has a good channel and his spanish is excellent. :)
Proud mixed race mexican american here and thanks to your video I've subbed to this original video's channel.
genealogy and ancestry as a field of research is infinitely fascinating to me and I love learning about my mesoamerican ancestors. People think of native Americans as being in north america and tend to forget about all the native americans throughout north central and south america. It's a wildly diverse, fascinating and proud history. Keep up the great work! Unification through cultural exchange and education! Proud of you for broadening your global horizons. ^-^
Native Americans were for sure treated the worst. Even more than the African Americans, which we all know was awful.
StripedHatLady
The film dances with wolves is long but it shows a lot about what native Americans went through during the time America was being conquered, you should watch it.
He definitely should watch it, I agree
Not really? The film is based on the early 1800s, America was already conquered by the Europeans, since the mid 1500s actually.
@@ericktellez7632 yeah, but that land remained almost inhabitated by spaniards, by 1970 los Cabos had only 1 doctor, the same with Cancun...Monterrey Nuevo León (not California) near Texas had its first doctor by late XIX century, all those red skin nayive american indians learned spanish because they used to trade pacefully with spaniards. Most of the 1910 revolution was fought (la bola) by mexican (mostly pure, not mestizo) indians who spoke little spanish but were (syncretic) catholic "la indiada"
@@korssar
Bullshit, most troops were mestizo and you know it.
This is an old comment but I disagree. The colonization tactics and execution by Americans (English colonists) vs Spanish and later Mexicans on Northern natives was different.
Mexico is fantastic. I've been to Mexico City and Cancun and I can't wait to go back and explore more of Mexico. But I'm from El Salvador and it's such an underrated country. I wish he would at least watch the Geography Now video on El Salvador. It's a tiny country with a lot of history, culture, great food and great people. And not many know much about it either, which is sad.
You need to get out of the big cities to see the real side of Mexico
@@KenshinAlex7 dude stfu over here hating on a comment section like a bum
@@Reyes-Latinos 😂😂 get angry that’s what I like to see
@@KenshinAlex7 L
@@Reyes-Latinos shut up gay boy
Yeah, it's estimated that, because of disease and warfare, the highest death toll is 90,000,000 - 112,500,000 for North American natives.
Most of the deaths were from the East coast of the United states
@@KenshinAlex7 makes me so sad especially since so many towns and cities bear Native American names and history that we barely learn about in school until maybe university.
@@48mavemiss2 too many missing tribes to count I have Mayan or Aztec blood or both just don’t quite know the language 😂
@@KenshinAlex7 in my family’s home county they say there are still natives that live in the mountains but personally I believe they are all mixed now with those who escaped to the mountains from slavery (African slave trade). We have ruins built by them that are still in use today actually but no clue if they are still around.
@@48mavemiss2 oh yeah they have to have mixed the best example of this happened in florida
I'm glad you reacted to this one, it was a good one
Other point to mention is that if you will talk about Hernan Cortes you need to mention La Malinche.
React to the channel called TRUE MEXICO. Is great and managed by a British guy living in Mexico actually
I always learn from your uploads, thank you.
Man, the entire history of South America is a gold mine of knowledge. And much like the history of Mexico, the history of South America doesn't exactly make the Spanish look very good. The second Columbus set foot in Venezuela, it was all over for many cultures, sadly.
Most of the Spanish Mixed in with the native population, im an example of this, the Spanish may have burned the native books but the Europeans that settled on the east coast completely killed off the ones living in the east coast
@@KenshinAlex7 don't even try, hispanic american friend, the black legend is very big right now, the spanish empire was the least bad of the colonial empires, that's why you can find a lot of mestizos compared to the US for example, where everyone is white european or african black, and the natives are in reserves in the middle of the desert
You are learning so much. This is ONE of the few redeeming qualities of CZcams.
Yay you finally reacted to another videos of Mexico, please react to more! The culture, gastronomy, etc
Even today, Native Americans and their lands are treated as an afterthought (if thought of at all.)
Maybe in the u.s cuz in Mexico were a mix of both European and natives so we technically still got our land
Natives still have there land because almost everyone in Mexico has native in them lmao you could see it in their faces
@@randomgamerdude98 and don’t forget the Mayan reservations in the Yucatán lol
@@KenshinAlex7 indigenous people in Mexico are still neglected and treated like shit
@@nmatky9327 since the 90’s they’ve had more rights but u can say that about any minority in any country like black people get treated bad In the u.s
I was excited on this one as this history is part of my history since I am from New Mexico.
I know right? I'm from NM too.
New Mexico is in America though
@@sentrosity9176 Yes but we were part of Mexico before
really enjoyed this! More like this please. 👍
I loved this. As a Mexican-American I love seeing others reactions to this rich culture we have here. I too also love learning about the many cultures of the world. Crazy times we live in but much love ❤️ keep up the good vids peace ✌🏽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
Ur American not Mexican stop turning ur back on the nation that grants u freedom , u wanna be Mexican the head south homie
@@bigdaddyc4471 F off
What a coincidence! Today I randomly found out im going to Mexico for the first time ever in August!
Hope you have a wonderful experience!
which part? if you make it to the Yucatán, I highly recommend Valladolid. It is an amazing colonial town, good food, very inexpensive, friendly people and very near to chichen itza. plus cenote zaci is two blocks from the plaza mayor, the main square of the city.
Tasting history:Aztec Tamales.
A great video about an old version of a modern mexican food.
I reccomend tasting history in general.
Max is the best.
Thanks for the tip, gonna check it out. 😀
Gotta make em with venison and lizard meat for added accuracy XD
I wish they would have gone more into the Cristeros wars. Even if those times in Mexico were a little too much like most of the world right now.
I just remember photos, how they hung people from the telephone poles
@@julieb3996 what?!
@@julieb3996 and how they raped and burned nuns and priests alive and desecrated bodies in church cemeteries. :(
My great grandfather was a priest during those times and was declared a criminal and executed. Crazy stuff.
yeah the cristeros were honestly horrible and almost fascist even
I love all your Mexico video reactions
There's a lot that this video missed about the territories that the USA took later, the mexican goverment let the US put some inmigrants in Texas in order to populate the area, that was a mistake because they later on turned to be the mayority and wanted to be independent partially because slavery was not legal anymore in Mexico, but Texas wanted to have slaves, a lot of naugthy stuff going on as well with all the others terrotories of the north
this is totally true
Great reaction man!
Kraut has been working on a phenomenal series of videos about the historical trends of the US and Mexico, it's fairly long so I don't know if you'd want to react to it but I'd definitely suggest watching them in your own time if not.
At one time California was it's own country. That's why it's called "The Republic of California" there's a lot of videos about Californias history
Loved this video
If you haven’t seen Coco you really should. It is a really good movie and is based on Dia De Los Muertos.
one of my favorite Disney movie, on top with Wall_E
@@ephraimboateng5239 Got teary eyed at the end.
Not quite, theres not such a written continous record of how to conduct thst kind of ritual from it origins, juat oral tradition, so its basically a catholic hollyday with some splash of indigenous tradition. That movie is just a commercial interpretation losely based on Pedro Infante image.
Representing my culture ❤ you got a new subscriber
I am not Mexican but their history is so incredible! The most underrated in my opinion. Mexico City is above Tonochtitlan. This is unbelievable!
The theory goes spaniards filled the lake to avoid aztec rituals only Xochimilco remains to this day because in the 1930s they covered thr last ooen air river just dowtown.
Very interesting. Cool video
This was great. I enjoyed watching how you acknowledged the rich and sort of tragic history that Mexico has gone through. It is a difficult topic to touch on because while the invasion of the Spaniards caused massive devastation across the native inhabitants it also brought about modernization and cultural change away from what were considered "barbaric" practices. When you start traveling, I highly recommend you visit Mexico at least once. The culture and food are unique and the people are very welcoming for the most part.
Thats most of colonial history. Death happens, but modernization occurs.
Between 1502 and 1866, of the 11.2 million Africans taken, only 388,000 arrived in North America, while the rest went to Brazil, the European colonies in the Caribbean, and Spanish territories in Central and South America, in that order.
Yes Bro!!!! I'm Mexican American and grew up on both countries! Glad you uploaded and are venturing out to other countries sweet!
Interesting to see how he surprised at facts that everyone learns in history class
@Kyle Pomare I don’t know whom do you mean by 'us', all Europeans? I'm Hungarian and I learned quite a lot in class about the Americas. At least everything mentioned in the video was taught here. Of course many forget it as they're not interested, but it IS in the curriculum.
Mexican history is a convoluted series of events that each lead to unstable governments. Even today the people of Mexico would much rather have someone else in charge. I think most of the people there would agree, there is a lot of mistrust of government. And it is a common thought that it is all corrupt. There were some Spanish priests that took pity on what the Aztecs had done & saved some of their work. But it isn't much.
11:52 kind of. First there was Tenochtitlan, the native Aztec city mentioned earlier. The Spanish just expanded it and gave it a new name (Mexico City).
During one of his exiles, Santa Ana lived on Staten Island, and is indirectly responsible for the introduction of chewing gum. Blame him next time you step on a wad of it.
Your comments are gold. Thanks for understanding our side of the story in history. Lots of virtual abrazos from Mexico.
being mexican i heared many people say that our anthem Is very violento (It literally says "war war may their patriot banners be soaked by waves of blood) but i hope after this people understand where wey come form
You should watch the movie Apocalypto its really good. My favorite from my childhood
Its a fictionalized version of sacrifice within the Mayan kingdom and a man trying to escape capture and save his family. Look up some clips on CZcams especially the scene where the men have blue paint
One of my favorite movies, must react to it!
React to more Mexico videos I love sharing my culture and other people learning and acknowledging it!!! 😁👍
Great reaction. Big Broad Subject. Most people know so little of this history.
As you were saying, even this isn't going into depth an any one thing - there is so much more detail.
Also, much of the Southwestern US is part of Mexican since it once was part of Mexico.
One tiny detail that I have always found interesting is that The French Foreign Legion's most "sacred" day is the 30th of April -
the anniversary of the Battle of Cameron(e), a battle that they lost - in Mexico, in 1863.
The ceremony includes the display of the wooden hand of Captain Danjou - who died at Cameron(e).
Muchas gracias por darte el tiempo de ver el vídeo es muy bello, denle like al original también.
Thank you for the appreciation 🖤🇲🇽
I had no idea...there are definitely lessons to be learned from their history.
Love the videos about Mexico and anything relating to it. You should react to videos by True Mexico who's n English guy that lives in Mexico and talks a lot about the foods, people, culture and all that stuff
Saludos desde por acá 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🌶🌶🌶
Under Mexico City lies Tenochtitlan, literally 3 ft below the Main Square plaza there is a pyramid shrine and sacrificial site currently being excavated. They just found a building made out of skulls of man woman and children of the sacrified people. These guys were crazy
And there’s still a LOT the video didn’t talk about, i love our history but is too much😂 imagine our history exams hahaha i already graduated college and I’m still learning about new things🤍
Mexico episodes are awesome! Do the one by epimetheus on the history of ancient Mexico.
My understanding of the whole 2012 thing was that the Mayan Calendar only extended to 2012... so does the world end when the Calendar runs out... or how many thousand years into the future is it reasonable to create a calendar for?
"...only extended to 2012..." Not quite, that date is just the end of a cycle (called baktun), the next day another cycle started.
Is like saying that the current calendar ends on Dec 31st, well no, is just this cycle (2021) that ends.
The way the long count calendar worked was that every 20 days, there was one, let's call it, "week". Every 10 "weeks" was one "month". Every 20 "months" was one "year". It kept going like that, 20-10-20-10-20-10 and so on. It could technically go on forever. Now let's imagine the calendar being written similar to a YY/MM/DD format, in that the largest timescale goes first, smallest goes last. The 2012 date corresponded to I believe the long count calendar date of 13/00/00/00/00. People thought this was the end of the world but the calendar would just go to 13/00/00/00/01 the next day.
@@PacificEmperor So, basically the Mayan "Y2K"? :-)
@@theblackbear211 yep
Mexico just has such an interesting history and good food.
Great idea to branch out a bit! Great food and amazing culture. The US southwest was greatly influenced by them. Love your reactions
All the US southwest was México. Not just influence.
My great grandfather and his brothers were cristeros in a small town in Durango called canatlan, and according with the urban legend, the skinned and hanged a couple of volunteers teachers because according to their beliefs “only the church should know stuff” or something messed up like that.
They did skinned and hanged them in front of the church though.
Ford Quarterman has some great videos he lives in Mexico and he uploads in English with subtitles
this guy really made the cristeros seem like people that just wanted religious freedom as if they weren't fascists that persecuted anyone that wasnt catholic
As a Mexican myself I can tell you, my friend, that you are right, we've been through so much messed up things, and still are. Specially what comes from religion and politics, both sides suck and have hindered our development since the spanish invasion. But something we can celebrate is the fact that family values and traditions, even if they are all globalized, are still unique, our food is majestic and the fact that whenever we fall, we prevail, if history and what I see everyday have taught me, is that resilience is our must powerful suit. Thank you for this video, I'm glad that you learned something about us.
45 days asking for a reaction to “The cost of Concordia” by internet historian
That video is a banger
I feel like this animation is very very simplistic.
Mexico is considered the land of history and culture
Invicta’s videos about “growing up Aztec” and the city of Tenochtitlán are great. Check them out!
Apparently my family was gifted a set of fine china once belonging to Emperor Maximilian I (Second Mexican Empire) by his wife Carlota of Mexico (Empress Charlotte) as a wedding present. We even have proof in the form a letter. It's all very Antiques Roadshow.
There has been 2 empires in America (continent):
1)Aztec/Mexica located in South Mexico.
2) Inca located in Peru.
Sadly Peru mostly international is unknown.
Lav Luka, BC means "before Christ." They are now using CN which translates the same but is the Lain abbreviation for "Ante Christum Natum." Meaning "Before Christ.. AD is Latin for "Anno Domini" translated out of Latin meaning "The Year Of Our Lord."
yes
Not many know about "cell 27" and it is a very good story as a legend.
If you're interested in the history of Mexico, you should absolutely check out the history of the US-Mexican border by Kraut. It's a very comprehensive history of why Mexico looks the way it does now.
Mexico's history is one of the most longest because all of the prehispanic cultures developing on our huge territory and becuase it's a huge country different important things happened in different places, so it is comolete and rich it's not just wars is how we as people developed because of this wars and problems and thats why we love so much our country we are proud of being a mix and having roots from the most powerful cultures in the world like aztecs and mayans all of them being so brave and honorable
The animated video skipped 90% of the 20th century, which is without doubt the most interesting part of our history.
please come to Mexico
Great vid bro always a good one, my family fought in the Cristero War in Jalisco, crazy stuff 💪
Lav Luka please react to more videos about cultures from places like the Americas & Africa. I think it's important for Westerners to learn these things, cuz it's easy for us to overlook
Im mexican, and I can say that theres a lot of things we ignore or even didnt know so well about oyr history, a lot of people is thinking about some presidents as héroes and some others as villians, but a thing we ignore is that not everything is black or white, theres a lot of good things that "villians" did as some other bad things "héroes" did
Over 13.000 years of history . Mexico National Anthem is a war call for every Mexican to defend the nation from any foreign force with honor.
check out the history of england or the rest of oversomplifieds videos.
As a Mexican American, please keep on reacting to more videos about Mexico ❤
You arent mexican
Cool
I find it crazy that since for most of human history hundreds of thousands of year back until very recently like maybe 200 years ago, the main focus of life was just to find a way to survive day by day. Everything was a constant struggle for survival. We got it pretty good now I guess. Spain had is all! They just couldn't hold on to it.
We all have our history. We all have the capacity to make change for the good of humankind.
mexico magico, it's a surreal place
The bringing of history oval writing is probly why modern day historian don’t know what happened
22:55 Porfirio Diaz he just brought progress to México...útil he had expelled by Francisco i madero.....a man Who was manipulated by USA.
Te amo Mexico.
Day I'm not sure of suggesting to watch some of Nick Johnson's videos, especially about "Unboxing" U.S. states.
I'm gonna ask every video please react to the battle of 73rd easting.
Mexico means, belly bottom of the moon in Nahuatl (the Aztec lenguaje)
