We actually have no signs of any other occupation before the Portuguese but it does seem very unlikely that due to our proximity to the continent that nobody lived here or that it hadn't been discovered before.
@@baldandboldcpv is not easy getting there , trade winds and sea currents , but is a known truth that no one was there , and we get to many places with natives

My origins are in Mozambique and Cabo Verde. I'm dumbfounded the video list had these two as topics. Good job with the facts! Liked and subscribed hoping to see more!
CV has a very unique history ,as their original descendants being derived mostly from 15th century Portuguese mariners and African mothers. it's the first example in history of the fusion with the European and sub Saharan cultures , as it precedes the early mulatto and mixed race cultures in the Western hemisphere by almost a century.
Saudade, is the most popular Cesaria Evora's song but also the word that describes best this country. When you visit there, you can just tell it was not meant for human beings to live! Beaches are pretty tho.
It was not uninhabited when colonized and used as a settlement. The Moors had already been there. Outside of that not being presented here this really accurate. The Spanish spent a lot of time here as well.
There's never been any trace of prior human habitation on the islands. Moorish slave traders might have visited Cabo Verde before the Portuguese sailors, but that's pure speculation and conjecture not based on any actual evidence.
Do you know who the moors were?? DO you even know their original name before they traveled to Europe and were coined moors?@@vaska1999 I'd seen your comment somewhere above and was about to respond to it but from this statement alone, All i can suggest is that you SERIOUSLY do your research. Respectfully.
The Moors were not there and proven. Some mention Moors to justify trying to diminish the history and cultures of others. A meand of superiority at the expense of truth. It's suppressive. Colonizers did the same. Now, Americans do it.
I hate to sound political but it needs to be mentioned that no single african country was "uninhabited' before colonization. Lands were taken, communities were displaced, people were enslaved and respectfully, i think that statement should be retracted.
If you want a real lesson in African history listen to professor Thomas Sowell. There are no human beings historically who are more righteous than other races of humans.
Continental Africa was populated, not the islands out in the Atlantic. Neither the Azores, Cape Verde, Canaries, St. Helena, Reunion had any indigenous populations. They were colonized by Europeans. Africans weren’t capable nor motivated to explore outside coastal waters. That’s why Europeans connected the Western Hemisphere with the rest of the world and became colonial powers all over the world, not Africans nor Asians. The black and later mulatto populations that came later were the result of the slave trade between African tribal chiefs, Arab slavers, and trans-Atlantic slave shippers.
@@jameshepburn4631 that's not true...most or all Islands surrounding Africa were inhabited by Africans. Europeans and Arabs seizedostnof the islands because black population on the Islands were small. Arabs tried to steal Zanziba and Lamars Island from the Swahilis saying it was theirs. They forgot that when they arrived at Islands the black people there were their middle men to hp them trade between Arab world and the main continent. Same happens in Madagascar, Mauritius ect. Blacks were there before anyone
Sorry i been to Cape Verde 5 or 6 times and i never seen sights like this all i saw was dust and sand, like a volcanic desert and i was told it was like that most of the time. Just Sayin
You right, I’m from Cape Verde and I can confirm you that most of its land is volcanic, dry and sandy. At this point, although the history in this video is almost correct, some of the green landscape seen in it, doesn’t correspond to Cape Verde. Just a heads up

You shouldn't believe that every clip in a video is actually from where they want you to believe it is. Or would it be possible for Mozambique and Cape Verde to both have the exact same sandy beach and be described exactly the same? czcams.com/video/ulUAYaboQZA/video.html czcams.com/video/OhQYOG2RDm0/video.html and czcams.com/video/ulUAYaboQZA/video.html czcams.com/video/OhQYOG2RDm0/video.html These video clips can be about anything, so don't take them too seriously. The most important thing for the creator is to get each of his introduction videos as easily as possible by sitting at his desk and collecting clips from some stock of video clips, as long as they look somewhat believable.
Interesting -so many "Cape Verdeans" in the USA always separated themselves from Cape Verde and their African roots- they called themselves Portuguese and were offended if you called them Black- it wasn't until I met a real Portuguese family from Lisbon (Blonde and blue eyed that I learned that the language spoken by them was creole and that they were from Cape Verde not Portugal. About twenty years after that the younger generation started calling themselves Cape Verdean.
Do you know what creole means? a language formed by the integration of two different languages over a period of time and so distinct that it becomes a new language on its own. Also, I cant speak for an individual but even today, most africans with melanated skin as rich as our soils and hair as coily as the shrubs of the savanna still disdain the term black. It was a connotation of the colonialists, and even though some tried to reclaim it, not everyone likes it. For we are not a color, we are a culture, a heritage, a community. That is why we are AFRICAN, not black. (just because some people are okay with it, doesnt mean all of us are.) and if those two are your main justification for the argument, please research further, respectfully.
@@joicekwarteng7497 well most of y'all who is commenting are really old. those old Cape Verdeans you talked to, had Portuguese citizenship. Cape Verde went from colony, to a province, now an independent country. did you even watch the video. modern Cape Verdean we are really proud of our nation, we don't claim anything else beside Cape Verdean.
I am Cape Verdean and Portuguese mix. Both my parents and both sets of my grandparents, most of your information is incorrect. First of all I'm tired of people saying we were uninhabited, thats not true. Italians and Portuguese people dragged African slaves, raped them and had babies this making us Cape Verdeans our name!! We are here and people need to start recognizing us as Cape Verdean, we are mixed with almost everything. Do more research
I'd say do your homework on about 10 islands most popular beech holiday island Sal I rated it as 10 mile sand dune goes from idyllic beech and sea one side of island to a shark nursery (yes a trip to do) with piles of unwanted crap plastic blowing off sea on other side, local small typical African Town. Assuming you've just photoshot from Caribbean was all a bit pointless .
i am cape verdean i cant really tell if somone is cape verdean or not, just based on looks, i look arabic, you are going to find cape verdean that look indian, some look european, and african. it is not easy to tell if someone is cape verdean based on looks.
@@esmaelhbr-Yes true, some may look Arabic, Indian, and European. Like how many do you think, 1 or 2 maybe?? Okay, only kidding. I know it is a lot more then that but let's face the facts. The vast majority of Cape Verdeans, perhaps somewhere around 80%-90% are bi-racial, a blend of black African and white Portuguese, nothing more and nothing less. Why do you want to make it seem as if CV is some sort of racial melting pot, when everyone knows that if you open the lid, and look inside, there are only two ingredients found in the pot.
@@guillermone1 i dont know where you going with that, like fogo island you will find a lot people with french ancestors, italian, jews even indian. when you mix white and blacks you can get variety of skin color. hair type, hair color, eyes color, shape and size. and physical structure. cape verde does look like a melting pot. that's a fact.
