- This is my first historical animation, finished in September 2013. It was on a separate channel for 9 years but it's time I put it in my archive! A video describing Columbus' journeys to America and the consequences that forever followed. I will be uploading a newer version of this saga with better animation and edited historical info. Please enjoy!
Anglo Pequot war part 3?! Come on bro!! You’ve left us hanging for way too long. 😢
It ends with the Pequot victorious, the English expelled and no colonialism happened ever. Oh and everyone lived happily ever after! You happy now?
@@jeffreygao3956 no because no one asked YOU lol
@@Dontdoitguy Avoiding spoilers!
i remember first watching this video several years back. Then I found this channel through the Thanksgiving video. I had a feeling whoever animated and narrated both videos were the same person. Looks like I've got my confirmation! hahah
His name must be remembered but also the bad he did.
Not really, considering that several other ethnic groups made it to America before he did. (Vikings, Inuit, west Africans, etc.) On top of that, you can’t even discover a place that already existed. Finally, the Moors gave him the map that he used to get to America anyway…
@@ItsSkwishy the west Africans?
@@ItsSkwishy1) irrelevant 2) they were natives 3) plain false
Columbus is the most important one of these guys, he mafe it back and kicked off firther exploration
@@sageex3931 Absolutely
I could care less if he’s remembered, he didn’t do anything and why do the US celebrate him when he wasn’t American?
Damn, Columbus was arrested? Didn’t know that
Of course he would be!
@@jeffreygao3956 Hernan Cortez did the exact same thing in mexico and didnt get arrested
That’s because unlike Columbus, Cortes is a good commander!
He wasn't this video is entirely false
I was sure it was accurate.
I can't wait for the continuation on anglo-pequot war
Spoilers: It escalated into a Thirty Years War and Sweden and France were the big winners.
If all my history lessons came in cartoon format and explained as juicy gossip like this, I would have learned so much 😂
I think this is a good video. It acknowledges Colombus' good and bad qualities, without exaggerating either of them. I also like the statement at the end that, if he never sailed west, someone else would have. I don't like how so many paint him as uniquely evil - at worst he was just a conquistador like the dozens who led expeditions after him.
One thing I'd change about this video is to mention how the Encomandita system, which became prevalent through the Spanish New World, seems to be based on medieval European serfdom - which at the time of the first voyage had only been abolished in Iberia for twenty years.
Love your videos man
I vaguely remember learning about some of this stuff in school. What a tragedy.
Please keep making videos
This video is excellent. THIS is how you do it: integrating the Heroic and Progressive through Pragmatism and Empiricism! It’s all about interests!
Interesting; Chinese and Mongolians called "White people" - "弗兰克" (fulan'ke); "franks", in Song and Yuan Dynasties.
Because they knw lots of French people.
Holyyyyyy I saw the notification in time!
I remember watching this a while ago, while I was still in middle school. During that time, I also remember making whiteboard animations inspired by this vid. It's nice to see that it is back up again. (Apparently, it seems as if this video was moved from the other channel to this channel for efficiency.)

Pls do part 3 on Pequot war❤❤
Spoiler alert: The Thirty Years War ended in Hapsburg defeat.
@@jeffreygao3956wut
@@swagking655 The Thirty Years War was happening the same time as the Anglo-Pequot War.
Do more parts about the history of colonizing America in the 17th-19th century.
Remember watching this
Nice vid I needed it for class but but I find it weird how you compared the taínos oppression to slavery I don’t think either should be compared
I like your drawings, they are so funny 😂

Not including Trinidad on the map is crazy 😂
Thank you 😊 so much for showing me this video years ago and this is how I found the truth out about Columbus and what he really did! 😮which is a damn shame how he ain’t really discovered nothing 😢😂
Well, he did discover he was not cut out to be a colonial governor.
@@jeffreygao3956 I Mean he was.. Just a little brutal. Hell, even the Spanish picked up on that later on and look at the land that brought them.
“Don’t discover anything” is an uneducated take. At the time he thought he made it all the way to Asia/India. They literally had no idea that 2 continents existed until Columbus bumped into them.
Unlike the Vikings and possibly even China on the northwest side, Columbus established a lasting contact between the two continents & he was the first to do it. That’s why he is famous.
Turns out things that were normal 500 years ago, such as claiming land for the King and seizing gold & slaves aren’t normal anymore.
Never forget it was the Muslims who controlled the land route to Asia that caused Spain to look west and find the Americas waiting there. Thanks Mohammedans!
@@YouT00ber Either way, the Americas were very much occupied and Columbus wouldn't have been half as successful if he faced opponents his technology level or if he was a better governor/general.
@@jeffreygao3956 of course they were occupied. Columbus established a connection between 2 continents and changed world history. It’s actually an amazing story.
You should check out a book “Columbus and the Quest for Jerusalem: How Religion Drove the Voyages that Led to America”.
5 years of scholarly research in that.

I am glad we all came here to CELEBRATE CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS, the greatest man of all time. Without CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS, there would be no COLUMBIAN EXCHANGE, and the GREAT NATION OF AMERICA would never have been built. CIVILIZATION WOULD HAVE EXISTED IN DARKNESS FOREVER WITHOUT COLUMBUS, SO WE CREATED A DAY TO CELEBRATE HIS TRIUMPH IN SPITE OF THE RUTHLESS INDIGENOUS PEOPLES!
I dunno how you came to that conclusion. If I nuked the truth, what you just said wouldn’t even have radiation burns.
Nope, I say cancel Columbus!
@@jeffreygao3956 Is that a GERMAN FLAG???? Doesn't GERMANY have its OWN problems before you attempt to comment on another nation's history? LOL
@@dglass2008 Nope, it’s mine. Also, Germany’s more than made up for their past and Neo-Nazis are persecuted there thanks to it being very ANTI-Nazism and having a higher rank on the Democracy Index than the US does.
Checkmate…Pragerites?
Ok boomer
At least Christopher Columbus was given a trial for his mistreatment of the natives. Pity someone else more kind than he was didn’t make the journeys.
I'm betting if he did somehow get to Japan, some samurai would utterly curbstomp his men and BOOM! No more Columbus!
Great video!
Absolutely nothing was worse then slavery
I was there
Finally
I miss you Pani nice to hear your voice
Im so full mmmm

I feel tragic about how brutal of colonial age as a Korean, but also can see how bravely north-mid-south Americans fought back to oppressors.
Good show, IMPATIENTLY waiting for the sequel of the Indian wars.

A more accurate term would be. Columbus found out about America. Or realize. There was and is another continent on the earth.
Columbus did not have blond hair and he did not have blue eyes. Historical descriptions of Columbus describe him as having dark brown hair and brown eyes, and that is just the beginning of the lies in this video.
He has blue eyes in every painting of him
So Columbus was even more brutal than I'd imagined. It's a shame, but then again, history has it's gruesome moments. Despite this, I still don't think he deserves all the hate he's receiving today. It is as you said towards the end of the video, if he did not explored those islands, my home country would not exist (Trinidad and Tobago).
He'd still lose to James Wolfe in a battle!
Every thing would of been discovered. Sooner or later.
Completely a fictional video
No, this actually happened.
Oh really? Write a thesis then. Ppl deserve to know the truth, no? Don’t be selfish & keep things to yourself
Anglo-Pequot War, Part 3
Spoilers: The Qing Dynasty encroached more and more of Ming controlled territory.
He was a hero he discovered the new world and allowed for Spain and Europe to prosper colonizing new lands for our people.
Spain is a shadow now, and we latinamericans put the final nail o it's coffin. Remember that while you worship kings, we live in freedom as we lived before you came.
Columbus and hero do not go together.
@@jeffreygao3956 Yes he was end of story!!
@@jamesmadisonwilliams4210 No, he was not. PragerU is wrong about Columbus and always will be. Columbus discovered nothing; He just invaded a bunch of islands and slaughtered the natives when they didn’t bring back enough gold. Pick on someone your technology level Crazy Columbus!
Uh, no. Columbus’ main legacy was exploitation and violent conquest and not even against those of similar technology levels! Pick on someone your own technology level Cruel Columbus!
Whatever you think of him -- and frankly, due to rampant bias one way or the other my mind is not made up on the man -- it is hard to think of many men who have had a more beneficial effect on the world in the long run. Imagining some horrible regimes -- say, the USSR or the Nazis -- without the USA to oppose is chilling, to say nothing of the "poor, nasty, brutish, and short" ways of life that would have continued victimizing those who lived under them indefinitely.
Butterfly effect says the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany are unlikely to exist without the existence of the United States.
Right. Some other ones would have. Perhaps evil of the same scale or even greater. I think my point stands lol@@jeffreygao3956
Colimbus actually hated slavery and when he was told by the spanish King to enslave the natives or be replaced heade sure to treat the with great respect and not abuse them
Don't make me laugh!
Oh ok lol
Spreading the Christian religion was so central to Columbus' thoughts that I wonder why it is left out. But I have noticed this often in reading history: While God was never far from the thoughts of many in the past, He could hardly be further from those of historians in the present. And many of the latter care more about moral preening than in describing those in the past in terms they or those who knew them might have agreed with.
Thumbs down for me.
Micheal Knowles is wrong and Columbus' critics are right.
It was mentioned.
