@@grantcaldwell1582 Like a Starcraft map :) It's a great idea for videos about exploration. Would love to see fog of war used in map videos for battles/wars.
I knew there was going to br that comment, true.
Fog of war: On
Fun fact.
The city of New Amstetdam was defended by a big wall. But the British attacked from the sea. When they conquered the city and renamed it to New York, they also tore down the wall and reused the stones by building a street.
That street got the name "Wall Street".
Fun fact New York come from York and York is a city in England and the name York is from jordvik and jordvik in English is dirtbay and they got the name jordvik from Vikings

Imagine travelling an unknown sea for countless days, only having heard stories and myths to then stumble upon land. What an amazing and also scary feeling that would of been
The Spanish were the first! Amazing Brave explorers!..
If I were the sailer of that boat sailing for weeks, I would be so scared I would rather die. Those are BRAVE people.
It would have been such a scary feeling for the natives too. Their near entire population being slaughtered and toyed with, having the species they most rely on for food brought to near extinction so they'd fall in line as well as having their culture, religion and languages brainwashed and literally whipped out of their children who were ripped from their parents at a young age, likely to never see them again. Such an amazing feeling...

6:21 it was not just imperssion by firearms and horses. These peoples were actually enemies of the Aztecs and saw their chance to win a war against them in an Alliance with the Spaniards.
correct
Everyone at war over gold and land
The Portuguese: damn, sugar cane tastes good
Sugar was actually very rare and thus extremely expensive and although the video focuses more on how the European exploration influenced North America, with the discovery of the maritime route to India, Lisbon became one of the biggest cities in the world and Portugal became the richest country in the world because she dethroned the previous spice route.
Portugal continued to explore and to expand Brazil, but wood and sugar, despite lucrative, weren't gold, as you said. However gold was found in Brazil, eventually, which triggered a lot more interest in this colony.
Dutch: this nutmeg is good
The natives: 🗿🗿🗿
@@luisalmeida1391 Verdade.
@@luisalmeida1391 Portugal fell really behind because of the succession crisis that made it lose independence to Spain. 60 years was a lot of time during the peak of the age of exploration.
After it regained independence, recovered some territories and was still ver powerful but couldnt compete with the other powers anymore, so it just developed the existing colonies.
I just cannot fathom docking on a place like Florida without any prior knowledge of the land. That had to be such a unique human experience that may never be replicated. Like imagine living in 1500 Spain and seeing all of the trees and crocodiles and shit. That’s just so insane to me
@@HM-eg9hv my bad I guess. Regardless I would assume they hadn’t seen a crocodile/alligator in person before that
@@HM-eg9hv they have both
Actually the term Alligator comes from the Spanish explorers in Florida. Too lazy to look up the details but it’s pretty cool the theorize theses first contacts with other civilized societies.
@@Ziiphyr Yes, they called them el lagarto, the lizard, the French of Louisiana mispronounced it as aligator.
And running into Florida Man.
I love the use of the black, unexplored areas of the map, kinda like it's in strategy games with the fog of War! It's interesting that the fog of war like its known in games is actually a real military theory (Clausewitz, 19th century), yet so many people connect it with games (which got the idea of it from the military theory as well).
Spain's hegemony over the Pacific Ocean was so great that it was called the Spanish Lake.
The Earth was called Britain
@@dylanmurphy9389 hahaha, NO
Yes, but that's because the Narrator 1st concentrates on South America. North America, as you can see, right from the Early 1500, it was the Brits and the French and a few decades later, Dutch. There was a lot going on in the northern continent, whilst Spanish Conquistadors, were Raping and pillaging in South America, But it was less murderous and intense.You just have to take an interest and reseearch. It - it was equally interesting, Britain and the France had colonialists, who became fur trappers, who actually lived amongst the Indian tribes, in the early years, and actually married in to those communities, which was much more cooperative and less divisive than the Spanish experience, which was far more "top-down" domination, and also part of the reason why the Spanish ended up causing so much resentment, which led to the early decline, of their empire.
I rremember that the Name of the French trappers, Living with the Indians were called "The Courious de bois". I remember reading about this and thinking this must have been the best time for everyone concerned, where life was hard, living off a hostile land, Without modern technology, right in the deep wild, but communication was relatively good and animosity limited, except between the British and French colonies, later when the symptoms of the 7 years War started simmering. Remember, the 1st settlers were pretty much left alone by the Crown and the people Were living a relatively free life, even though the risks were far higher, in an unpredictable sense
@@Rowlph8888 You should learn geography and know what North America covers. and you should ask yourself why there are so few indigenous people in Canada and the US. The English did not mix with the natives and marginalized them, while the Spanish mixed with the natives
@@DCDVassili Stop with your propaganda. You should try to learn the Difference between a "US citizen", post 1776 and a working class English settler, before the 7 years War (approx: 1575-1748). t's a matter-of-fact that the English crown, "refused" the settlers requests, who kept asking to be able to push to the west and Violate "Treaties" That had been agreed to, With the natives and were Honoured, by the British Crown. The Brits were there for 200 years, before the Americans independence, but still only maintained colonies on the eastern border. It Wasn't until after the "American Independence", That the Settlers Began (Under the Bullshit manifest destiny lie) began to Push into the West and Started Causing More Atrocities. So it's the opposite of what you are saying.
The original "working class", fur trapping colonialists, from Britain and france, wanted to escape the hegemony, of the crowns of theiir respective kingdoms and many did live, marry and trade, amongst the natives. With Regards to those Spanish exploiting and violating, I wasnt talking about the Spanish "working class", or settlers, I was talking about the Imperial "upper classes(Conquistadsors) that were sent there, who were causing the exploitation.The difference was that In the case of the original settlers forming from Britain and France, the Crowns, in those countries, were not so bothered about the new world, at that stage, as they had domestic issues.A bit later is when the Crown got involved and conflict Between Britain and France, started to be more severe, as a Kind of proxy war.
Also, there were far more losses amongst the indigenous in South than in North America.Even though the Spanish crown and many religious figures, wanted more peaceful indigenous contact, the Conquistadors, ddidn't honour those wishes and destroyed communities,, wherever they went, Stealing gold and taking it to Spain and reacting aggressively when the indigenous misunderstood and reacted ambiguously to attempted religious indoctrination.

@Storm Zaibot so you're saying that after tens of thousands of years of inter tribe war didn't end their civilization but then Europeans landed to " civilized " them and introduce diseases that literally killed hundreds of millions alone , not including the wars fought over someone else's land by European powers wasn't the reason suddenly they all went extinct or became tiny pockets of people still alive? Just a giant coincidence that it never happened before in all of existence for them till European people got involved. Hmmmm ok.
@Storm Zaibot well CZcams decided to delete my response. Some of what younsay is true but much of what you say is wrong. Unfortunately CZcams won't let me converse with you
It's amazing how Spain discovered the Philippines first before discovering half of South America
They didn't discover something that's already existing. 🙄
The Philippines was part of the Old World. Even Marco Polo was aware of its existence in the 1200s - 1300s and called them Archipelagus 7448 insularũ.

Great summary! Precision : European fishermen (Basques, Bretons, Normans, etc.) visited the Saint-Lawrence River through the 16th century, even before Jacques Cartier's claim for New France in 1534 ; this is one century before what is shown in this video. Also, important settlements in the New France area are omitted : Montréal (Ville-Marie, 1642), Détroit (1701), La Nouvelle-Orléans (1718), whereas a lot of settlements are shown in the 13 colonies.

I like this one more
I like the old one more
I like Riddle's Voice here
agree
This is so generic meaks this a trash video
This completely ignores the northward Spanish expansion along the west coast of North America beginning in 1542 with Cabrillo's expedition. That is a HUGE hole in the story. Vizcaino came along 70 years later. Most of the place-names in coastal California are from that second expedition.
There was a lot missing but I think they wanted to do the highlights. A lot about the 13 colonies, France expansion, and early Spanish expeditions were missing.
Yet the video mentions irrelevant Drake expedition. Big Anglosaxon bias.
The U.S. always tries to sweep under the rug anything that can take away the legitimacy of their imperial expansion, conquest and thus ownership of the lands to the west of their 13 colonies.

Spain really took a gamble with that meridian treaty when you think about it , they didnt knew how the continent shape was yet they decided the divide , they really could have ended up having the short stick
and they did. Gold was in brasil and north america, not so much in west south america, and + africa and unclamed asia....ya, Portugal won 100%

They had an unbelievable luck because the Portuguese already knew that there was land over there as the Tordesillas treaty prove it. The Portuguese main focus was to keep the spice trade...
Nice animation, I wish you had drawn more of the precolonial territories (other than aztecs and Incas). Would give a better idea of the complexity of the geography that was disturbed by the colonisation
Nicely done. Concise and simple enough for an introduction to the unversed.
Portugal financed an expedition in the Amazon River in 1563 that finished in Quito, in the 1800s a new expetion was done using the diaries information, and they were able to reach Quito again.
And before in 1541 Orellana go down from Quito and travel all the Amazon.

Spain reached Alaska in 1791, at that moment Spain ruled the whole Pacific coast of America, from cape of Horn in south Chile to Alaska cities like Valdez or Cordova
a few settlements and ports north of mexico means control over the entire pacific coast?
@@KentoKei the same for the british. Did the british directly controlled Canada, Australia and India? Of course not.
The important thing in America is that there are spanish names from the artic circle to the antartic circle, that's why spanish is the most spoken language in America.
The claim couldn't be enforced because you know, icy lands, as you said Spain built stetlements in the area, some explorers were sent to the area by the King Charles III of Spain just to explore the territory.
The thing is that Spain had a way more richer territories than British in Canada or Australia, most people don't know but Australia was discovered by spaniards as well as Canada and most people don't know why Canada is called Canada, spaniards named canada "Acá nada" that means "here nothing"
Why to claim an icy land where a penguin Will fell cold when you have the "Virreinato de Nueva España" which is the actual Mexico, Mexico is nowadays the country that produce the most silver and Peru is the second, How much petrol Venezuela has? How much iron latin america has? How much zinc latin america has?
Copper is used everywhere for electricity and Peru is the second country that produce more copper only behind China.

@Weasel I’m pretty sure he said America, not just North America. North America has roughly 317 million English speakers and 121 million Spanish speakers, so yes. English is more in North America. But in South America, because he clearly said Arctic to Antarctic, there is 5.4 million English speakers and about 210 million Spanish speakers. The Caribbean, also apart of the Americas, is 64% Spanish, though i cant find a Spanish speaking population number that excludes islands already counted in north and South America. In Central America, there is an additional 32 million Spanish speakers. So that’s looking to be 360 million Spanish speakers to 322 million English speakers (I didn’t count the 400k English creoles speakers in Central America as I was avoiding too many decimals)
The first video in entire youtube that recognizes the tries from spain to give laws to free and trate equally the indian and slaves, thank you
Remember when Mexicans were trying to say they were "there" for centuries / millennia before Americans a few years back? Yeah because people in that region in 1271 could speak Spanish and knew what a tortilla is.
You have designed this very beautifully and exceptionally. 👌
Also, when Columbus brought some natives back, the Catholic Queen Isabel ordered him to release them
The Catholics, the Queen and the priests were super worried about the wellbeing of the natives. They held conferences and agreed they were not barbarians but humans with soul and dignity. The conquistadors on the other hand were businessmen of war and they often clashed with the church due to the mistreatment of natives, and generally ignored the laws that protected natives.
In any case, by far the worse enemy of the natives were the viruses they had no defenses against.
This seems like a big bunch if BS to me, especialy taught bythe Spanish educational system. Learn anything about the actual story of my people in south america. Their concept of "evangelization" required the suppresion of people's humanity, slavery, genocide, and rape.
Just read about El Requerimiento of 1513 in which it was declared that Spain had the right to do whatever they wanted with the natives. Not only could they do it legally, but morally as well, being endorsed by the catholic church
At 7:06 there's a mistake. Cortes allied with the adversaries of the Aztecs long before the siege of Tenochtitlan.
true
There a lot of mistakes in the video, Portugal had colonies in Labrador and Newfoundland long before the British or Columbus.
We also had found Brasil before Columbus ever had any thought to sail west
Also America as a name was not an agreed term, not even remotely it, it was disputed for over 200 years
@@alexmag342 Lo que me gusta de estos videos es que siempre aparece una nacionalidad nueva que descubrió América antes que Castilla

There was a portuguese colony in Canada called Terra do Lavrador, latter Labrador. Unfortunately it was not mentioned =\
It was terrenova that means new land in portuguese
Yes, and the expansion of Brazil resulting from the gold and silver rush in the late 17th century is not mentioned here.
The Portuguese found more gold in Brazil in 30 years (1690 - 1720) than the Spanish found in the previous 200 years in America, and it allowed Brazil to become the most profitable colony in the Americas by 1720, and King John V to become the King with more gold in the world. It really should have been mentioned. It gave Portugal a considerable amount of power in South America.

Superbly presented - bravo! Greetings from Greece.
The use of 'fog of war' on the map was perfect. Thanks
I LOVE that the unknown world is shaded black. It helps give us their perspective. Excellent video! 👌🏽
1:10 The Portuguese rejects the project because they recognized the Columbus calculations are probably incorrect. Which actually were, Columbus calculated with wrong length of the ancient length unit "stadium" and he suppose Asia is half distance than it actually was.
Plus they were focused on reaching India and well on their way, ahead of everyone else. They actually did it, contrary to many others, and for a few years ruled the Indian Ocean and controlled the Spice Trade becoming the World's Richest Nation for a small period of time (about 60 years). The Iberian Union, though, brought that edge down...
The Portuguese didn't reject Columbus because his calculations were incorrect. They rejected him because he wanted to explore and tell the world what he would find during his voyages, but Portugal already knew that there was a large land (America) between Europe and Asia and they didn't want other countries to know of it. Obviously they didn't know the size of it, but they did know that Columbus would find it and quickly spread word of it to all europe. The fact that Brazil was "officially" discovered by Portugal in the year 1500, means that the portuguese already knew of it's existence way before Columbus found America, and decided to make their claim to Brazil official.
Go back to your bacalhao
Portugal já conhecia as Américas antes de Colombo.
A esposa de Colombo era portuguesa Felipa Moniz Perestrelo, filha de Bartolomeu Perestrelo.
Bartolomeu aprendeu a navegar com o Infante D. Henrique de Portugal que foi o precursor da navegação portuguesa.
O Pai e os Irmãos de Felipa já sabiam da existência de terras além do Atlântico, mas uma segunda rota não seria bom para os portugueses.
Detalhe: Fernão de Magalhães, capitão que descobriu a segunda rota das índias e batizou o oceano pacífico também era português.

As an adult, many years out of school, these quick refreshers are invaluable!
What do you mean, they're great
@@TomLikesfn684 not unvaluable, invaluable! 😉
Excellent. Really lays things out plainly.
This is awesome, wish there were pdf versions available for me to use in my 7th grade class. Any chance I could get one??
I can send you one if you contact me on geo_history@outlook.com
@@GeoHistory 😮
I enjoyed this and its really well done. I already knew a large amount of this history but when it's put all together like this it's so much easier to understand how/when it was all going on around the same time.
IT'S NOT DISEASE OR VIRUS KILLED INDIAN, EUROPEAN GENOSIDE THE INDIAN !
Awesome video! Love the use of blacked-out areas to show what was known to Europeans at the time.
This is so friggin good.
The first germans, polish, czechs, flemish (belgians), swiss and maybe from other central european countries to set foot on continental mainland of New World was in 1529, so as to work as miners to search El Dorado in actual Venezuela . The leased colony by Emperor Charles V to the Augsburg banker family of Welser was called "Klein Venedig" and its capital Coro was named "Neu Augsburg", Maracaibo "Neu Nüremberg" and Cabimas o "Neu Ulm". Some expeditions inland departed from Coro and El Tocuyo (also given a german name as Tocuyothal) searching for El Dorado. "Klein Venedig" didn't last long though, this was due to both poor results and complaints from miners and locals, thus Emperor Charles V didn't renew the contract to the Welsers (bankers from Augsburg). Some very old and forgotten cemeteries in NW Venezuela may have some surnames still, no idea. This was at a time when the portuguese were still exploring lands which soon later became Brazil and the spanish just arriving to Cuzco and the River Plate. 🇩🇪🇻🇪 🤠👍
That's right the reasons of the Welser expeditions was to find Eldorado for that, they didn't make a culture legacy and now Maracaibo (The principal city than they created ) doesn't have nothing of germ an culture appart of the Tovar colony established in 1842. But in the Second World War with the germans emigration they build and reapairs so much of his old colonies these new villages start to buiding to equaty than in otrers countries like Peru, Brasil, Chile, Uruguay and Argentina that's when they finally make a legacy in that's countries (Culture legacy). sorry for the fails in the coment, my english is not very nice .
This visualization is great and logically contextualizes the changing world in such a different but likely correct way!! Awesome!!
Masterpiece of information that clarifies not only the context in time and area of the known world, but also the context to understand the way of thinking of the actual powers of the World and their explanations.
Muito bom vídeo. Quando era novo mas aulas de história sempre imaginava o que mais estaria acontecendo no mundo ao mesmo tempo.
20 anos depois esse vídeo me respondeu.
Obrigado CZcams.
Thank you. Very good explained😊
Really like your videos!! I would like to make a recommendation for some videos I think many viewers would be interested in. Please do a more ancient historical era. Rome would definitely be a good one, perhaps Greece or other ancient civilizations, their history and how they expanded.
12:50 you can see the current french flag in Newfoundland
This is like watching the prequel to a story, but the story is real life.
It was so exciting when much of the world was completely unknown. Imagine setting out to explore the unknown and having no idea what you might find...
They found ppl minding their business & living peacefully and then rudely took over their land and colonised them.
@@sashhhaa4874 "peacefully" 🤣
@@AD-cc7bj Didn’t know the adverb “peacefully” was such a funny word… but humour is subjective i guess
point is they werent peaceful did u heard Inca and Aztec empire exist? an empire means lots of wars@@sashhhaa4874
Thank you for adding more content to the video rather than reupload.
I would love to see a version on Oceania!
13:22 Sweden was like
“Hi”
“Bye”
Esto es lo que estaba buscando,buenazo el vídeo y saludos desde Uruguay.
Damn, ima miss Rahul, but Matt is just as good!
What a great summary. It really helped me connect dots. Loved it
The first European explorer to navigate the Amazon River was Francisco de Orellana. Orellana's exploration occurred during the years 1541-1542.
So an honest question, when the boats are sailing and revealing Space, is that really how far you can see of the planet? I’m trying to reference this with the Chesapeake bay, it is pretty wide but much smaller on a map like this.
They can't see that far tbh
The old voice over guy was what made these videos so unique and watchable. That flair is lost now with this new bloke. Please bring the old guy back?
The old guy left by his own wish so can't come back.
@@Nexandr :(
Dude this is so great. I’ve always loved history but seeing it in this format just makes everything so much better. Keep up the good work dude, this is really awesome stuff.
IT'S NOT DISEASE OR VIRUS KILLED INDIAN, EUROPEAN GENOSIDE THE INDIAN !
Very good video my man ❤
Also very instructive and very clear thank you very much !
Awesome and easy-to-get and well narrated information! Thanks for spreading the knowledge! Blessings!
Good job. I like the view of the areas known and unknown. The color code of the countries involved. Straight to the point narration. Well done, A++
The colours are based on the EU 4 which possibly defined countries' colours as the dominant or signature ones on their flags
@@nguyenhuytuquan
Hoy, thank you. I like how this video is showing the known areas vs the unknown. Incredible history lesson. Thank you again mate.
The fog of war element in this video is something I had never seen before and explains really interestingly what Europeans knew about the newly found continent. The history, specially about the Aztec conquest is too oversimplified and not really consistent, but still a very good video!
Amazingly explained history.
This is the best video I've seen on this subject. Great job!
Imagine how scary it was setting off and landing in unknown lands not knowing what you’ll find when you get there
Imagine how scary the natives will be when they se a los of randoms guys with rifles.
@@sebastianlomascolo5169 they wouldn’t know what a rifle was
@@bobsmith3291 I'm sorry if I was aggressive, I was a little off that night.
@@bobsmith3291 Let's just say "small iron bows that go kapew".
@@sebastianlomascolo5169 Superior technology doesn't equal fear. Many of the great native American civilizations could've crushes colonization attempts had things gone slightly different. Remember, the only reason Europeans dominates was because of luck and dominoes falling intonplace
AMAZING WORK! Would you mind if I use screenshots of this video for educational purpuses? Credits would be for sure given :)
