Hello sir! I am so so glad that you mentioned my country in this channel. I truly hope that you will make more content like this. 👍
Great
They say Samurai Pirates like that concept doesn't sound like the raddest thing a 13 year old boy could come out with.
the japense pirates were named wokou倭寇, sometimes their leaders are Chinese residential in Japan, for example Wang zhi,
If you're using terms like raddest, i take it you're no longer 13...lol...

You guys should make a Castilian War video. It has Indians, Malaysians, Somalis, Swahilis, Egyptians, Turks, and Arabs against Filipino, Aztecs, Incans, Borneans, and the Spanish. This also happened in 1578.
As there was no India or Malaysia then,partially disagreed & you should do more research before posting.
That war was epic! It's a multi national army that were fighting under the sultan of Brunei , the Spaniards took over the capital city of Brunei because of the betrayal of a rebel prince named sari lana or something , the sultan forces recreated into the jungles and then they regrouped their forces and attacked finally recapturing the capital , the Spanish fleeing and the sultans forces chased them to sabah.
The sultan army was made of malays indian arabs turks Somalis and turks

On behalf of all history teachers on the prowl for killer resources to help engage the kids and get them interested in history, thank you!
Just remember not to get lazy and use videos to often. Practice telling the story yourself. It will still engage the children you just can't suck at doing it.
This and Extra Credits are great for teaching kids and adults. Extra Credits is definitely perfect for kids because of the visuals and enthusiasm of the people who run the show.
Just avoid their videos on US history.

Kinda feels like the lead up to a Nathan Drake story
WE need to know more about the golden age of spanish hegemony in europe, its history is almost like a fantasy.
The Legazpi Expedition of 1565-1571 to the Philippines is quite an interesting subject. They faced fierce resistance of the pre-hispanic Filipinos from present-day Manila, and also the first use of the "Divide et Impera (Divide and Conquer)" strategy, where Spaniards used the ethnic Visayans (Cebuanos, Ilonggos, etc.) for their conquest of Luzon.
This didnt happened. Its been debunked.its a hoax
@@leonard9624 what is the hoax?
Ah yes Philippines, the land of historical crossovers... This is going to be fun.
True something not mention the majority of spanish force was Mexican natives who were used by spaniards to conquer the Philippines.
@@xephir5767
Yet despite their blood running through our veins, those latinos refuse to accept us as hispanics.
@@eelchiong6709 Actually, Filipinos had resisted Hispanization simply by not dying en masse by the Diseases from the Spanish. 😅😅
Filipinos had adopted the Spanish Cultures, yes; however they dont Speak Spanish and very few Filipinos mixed with the Spaniards, due to the fact majority of the Population were only viewed as very cheap labor. Not to mention the ongoing uprisings and resistance from the populations in the Rural areas.
@@arami187
Unlike the Native Americans, the filipinos were just as resistant to Spanish deseases as the Spaniards themselves since they were not isolated like the Americans but in constant contact with foreign traders and were once part of both the Sri Vijayan and Madjapit empires.
Right, Spanish colonists rarely married filipinos, and only with the noble families when they do. But, they certainly had a lot of illegitimate children with the filipinas living and working in their haciendas. Even priests and friars were known to be womanizers.
@@eelchiong6709 it's only limited lol. More likely 4-13% in our genes have western European blood (haplogroup r1b ydna) according to many genetic research lab and our culture merely like 70% Hispanicized
20% in our language were derived from Spanish mixed with Malay, Sanskrit, english and hokkien-chinese. Better do alot of research
I'm surprised that you cover the Battle of Cagayan that was rarely discussed in Philippine history classes even upto college level and frequently overshadowed by the Battle of Vigan.
I'm glad that you made a video about it!
and even I dont know the battle of vigan
To be fair.... This event is not that important to be discussed in general education...
I mean, it may show a glimpse on how pre-colonial and early-colonial Philippines interact with neighboring countries before.
I believe it's just adding filler that's not needed for the general population. Let's be real, history is interesting but it's boring too from time to time...
agreed, we read about Limahong in high school but this is the first time i learned about this battle...
@@visayanmissnanny2.076 it may looks like a filler in the Philippine history but it's very important to revisit it so that we can learn something from it for future scenarios.
Just an example, the Japanese might be defeated by the Spaniards during the Battle of Cagayan but centuries later, Cagayan was one of the 3 major landing areas in Northern Luzon chosen by the Imperial Japanese Military to conduct major amphibious landings that took place right after the Attack on Pearl Harbor during Dec. 1941
And if the bully above north became more aggressive and invades Taiwan forcefully, they will follow the same steps onced used by the Japanese during their Pacific Conquest.
@@paulsteaven Fair point! And good you mentioned the campaigns of 1941 and our recent issues
(Deleted & Edited: Actually scratch that, unless you wish to emphasize nationalism then that's a fair point. If not, the familiarity with the 1941 invasion is pretty much enough)

It definitely does. Imagine the island hopping exploration similar to odyssey or ac black flag. But in a region and time period no other game franchise has I've ever heard of has ever touched. And of course with the combat mechanics of Ghost of Tsushima, it would be amazing.

I really like how it's impossible to believe in gravity and flat earth. BUT it is compl;etely believable in all the water staying on top, and none of the dirt, falling off the bottom into space.
@Super.Chuck none of that really matters, the real conclusive proof that the Earth is not flat is the fact that cats have not knocked everything off of it by now. anyone who has ever owned a cat knows that they would have done so just to be jerks if the Earth was flat.
@@SuperChuckRaney I have seen flat earthers saying that the artic and antartic serve like big walls at the edges of earth, that's why the water doesn't fall, seriously. They are really that stupid
My family has lived in and around that region even before the Spanish colonization of the country. They’ve told tales about the español and natives fighting off pirates from Japan, China and even the Dutch. Along with tsunami waves hitting the coastal towns that originated from Japan.
Even though Ilocanos, Pangasinan, and Ibanag people traded with the pirates before Spanish arrived.
Never knew we had a battle like this in the northern part of Luzon
Yes Cagayan province is part of the Cagayan Valley. The northern part is mountainous there.
Also this is the time of the Spanish Colonization till 333 years later when the Spanish & American war began & the beginning of the Philippine Independence in 1898. Later the Philippine-American war in 1899-1902. After the war the American Colonization of the Philippines.
Hello to everyone watching from the Philippines.
I knew about it but i forgot about it
It's not surprising that few Filipinos knew about this battle since it is rarely tackled in Philippine history classes.
A native from Cagayan here, we appreciate that our history is slowly being recognized internationally
You can even see on the facial characteristics of modern Filipinos, the result of ages old crossover interaction among these cultures. From the East Asian pirate, to the Conquistador, to the native, the entire Filipino bloodline bares witness to their shared interaction. A rare gem of a find, K&G! Awesome work!

It's about time.
I've also read that during their conflicts vs the Wako, the pirates are actually crazy enough to charge a tercio (Spanish pike formation) and grab or wrestle their pikes from their soldiers so the Spaniards had to actually put oil on the shaft near the pikehead for that.
@Marcelo Henrique Soares da Silva They disembarked a lot
Wouldn't been able since the second and fourth row of a Tercio usually had either Crossbows and Arquebusiers depending on the time...so getting close is the stupidest thing you could do...if they were early tercio you also would have rodeleros crouching and cutting their tendons from underneath the pikes.
Putting oil on the end of the pike's shafts was standard setting before a battle, and i think cleaning it was important to march with them, though i am not sure about the later.
this didn't happened... go a read some manga weebo
there were not Tercios at Flipines, nor at America. Only in Europe
The title should be: "Samurai Pirates didn't expect the Spanish Inquisition"

Mindanao was a particularly interesting place to trade. Sources mention Butuan (pronounced bu-TWAN), in modern-day Agusan del Norte, as a spot for gold. There were also spice trades between the Dutch and the sultanates in southwestern Mindanao. That could also be another interesting area to explore.
Mindanao and Mindoro were good sources of riches. However, misfortune also struck the Spaniards there, under Ruy López de Villalobos, under whom was one Andrés de Urdaneta, who was crucial to the Legazpi expedition, and discovered a trade route from the Philippines to Mexico, which started the Manila galleon trade, another interesting topic for a video.
Perhaps, Kings and Generals could also tackle the long battle of attrition between Spain and the Sultanates....
Sultan Kudarat's story is interesting
It's only in Tagalog so i have problems with understanding.
Butuan was one of the leading trading centres of the Philippine Archipelago from the 9th to 12th Centuries. Chinese Song Dynasty sources indicated that 3 envoy missions from Butuan on 1000s-1010s visiting the Song Court to get permission for direct trading with the Chinese instead of passing it to a third party kingdom, which is Champa in this case.
Another mention of Butuan is in Antonio Pigafetta's chronicles of the Magellan-Elcano Expedition is that when they arrived in the island of Limasawa in the Visayan Islands, they met its ruler, Rajah Kolambu/Colambu, who happened to be a brother of Rajah Awi of Butuan. This shows the relations of local chiefs in the archipelago were closely connected as far as Malaya and Indonesia.
There was also a type of boat discovered in Butuan by Filipino archaeologists, which is called Balangay/Balanghay. This same boat was mentioned in Pigafetta's chronicles, and the boat was a primarily used by most pre-Hispanic entities in the Philippines.

The history of Juan Pablo de Carrión is incredibly impressive, to begin with, he had exactly 69 years at the time of the events. His one is a story of continuous failure. Born in Valladolid in 1513, he had emigrated to New Spain (Mexico) in search of fortune and had taken part in previous expeditions to the Philippines which ended in absolute disaster, the last one making him return to Spain with only two friends left. He settled down in Toledo as treasurer of the Archbishop, and married in 1559 to a woman called María De Salcedo y Sotomayor.
(Continues in replies)
Strangely, when the Archbishop died he left his family and returned to America, risking his very comfortable life for an uncertain future. There he served as a boat engineer and disgracefully for him started a marital life with another woman: a local who went for the name of Leonor Suárez de Figueroa. He also attempted to join Legazpi's and Urdaneta's expedition to the Philippines, but his bad relationship with the latter threw away his attempt. This was the very successful expedition which established the desired "tornaviaje", a safe route for merchants to cross the Pacific in both directions.
Meanwhile the Spanish Inquisition had opened a case out of Carrión's second marriage in 1566 with Leonor, which resulted very merciful for him because he managed to avoid being condemned to row in galleys as well as public humiliation, but had his assets seized and was forced to return with his first wife. As he was jailed again in 1574, he applied for a destination in the Philippines, perhaps to put another ocean between the Inquisition and him. But being finally in Legazpi's expedition, he discovered things weren't going as swiftly as previously, because the pirates had settled in Luzon and were very well equipped in the European stile thanks to Portuguese merchants.
Apparently, when he was sent to confront the pirates it was a bit sketchy, because it was well known they were massively outnumbered, and he had no relevant military history or experience despite being a "Fleet General". But he departed with a half Spanish, half Tlaxcala (allied native Americans) crew. The only thing that I would say they missed is that Tai-Fusa's pirates were armed with hooks to catch the European spears, but being Carrion of old hand, he had previously ordered to smear the pikes in oil so this couldn't happen.
In any case pretty good video, but I missed some epic animations for such an epic story.
@@Jayako12 I do not understand how the US is going to go 1 century before it still existed
If you are interested in more Spanish epic battles in the area you should definetively read about the "Siege of Baler (1898-1899)" 50 Spanish soldiers held a church against the filipinos for almost a year surrounded and outnumbered 20 to 1 in the middle of the US-Spanish War. They even continued fighting for 6 months after the war ended. The survivors were famous in Spain and known as "Los últimos de Filipinas (The last ones of the Phillipines)"
I wish to warch a K&G video about that hahaha
Theres a movie about that on Netflix
That's my hometown lol
Thats nothing, look up the Dagohoy Rebellion
@@gavriloprincip9634 It was shown as well in an episode of El Ministerio Del Tiempo if I'm correct. I watched it when it was still with Netflix.
Back in baler there's also an event called the Philippines spanish friendship day which was signed by commonwealth president and fellow townsmen Manuel Quezon and the church that you mentioned, the church of baler is one of the most popular tourist spot in my hometown, sadly can't return there now cuz of pandemic
Politics aside, the Spanish Conquistadors were really badasses.
then the americans came and kick their asses😄
@@bombot8672 the us didnt even exist when the conquistadors were around, in fact half of the us was part of Spain at the time
@@bombot8672 I mean, Spain help Americans in their Independence war
Edit: Then we can say that America “betrayed” Spain in the Cuban Independence war, but that was in the late 18s
Most of the forces were actually composed of Kapampangans (a Filipino tribe) and Native American slave mercenaries. Only a few were European Spanish
@@bmona7550 you are right, the spanish have the audacity to take the credit of the kapampangans, same people ( and the majority ) they used to fight against the dutch-spanish war in manila and other rebellions back at the early colonialization.
Longtime Filipino subscriber here, thank you so much K and G for covering this battle!
Amen indeed.
Conquistador: sir, I don't think the pirate are from Japan only...
Captain: we are the Spanish in 1582 and Conquistadors.... Half of the Wokou could be polar bears and I would still call them Japanese.
in fact, some wokou's leaders are Chinese residential in Japan, for example Wang Zhi,
Yup. Just like the way they collectively called the various islamic and native tribes of Mindanao as "Moros" after their own Andalusian Moors during yhe reconquista of southern Iberia.
@@orig1990vintoy
Yeah, Iberian powers pretty much called everyone who wasn't a Christian a "Moor".
😂😂😂.
Remember these are the same Spanish that continued to call native Americans "Indians" even though they knew they weren't from India...they literally met people from India...they just didn't care
Would love K&G to do more naval battles of the Early Modern Period. This was an excellent part of history!
The Philippines in the 16th century was just Deadliest Warrior irl. Hope you guys also check out the Battle of Manila in 1574 which was another Conquistadors vs Wako battle, probably the biggest one. The Chinese warlord Limahong led 4,000 Wako in an attempt to take Manila for himself, but was defeated by a garrison of 300 Spanish and 300 Filipino soldiers. After his defeat, he was chased around the country by the Spanish for a year before he gave up and left to pirate elsewhere.
Kings and Generals: the priest's accounts seem widely exaggerated...
Filipino historians trying to make sense of Spanish priests' diaries and ledgers: ...yes.
the fun tings is that Spaniards absolutely believe a group of 60 tercios who weren't present in this area defeated a 1000 Japanese samurai from the satsuma province! LOL
@@carlosgarzon8900 The fun thing is that you wont find a single historical font in spanish tht call them, either "tercios", or japanese samurai. In spanish histography, this is not even called "the battle of cagayan". It is called "the combats of cagayan"...You sound like the typical south american with a huge inferiorty complex. Sorry for you, keep trying.
A million thanks to covering these lesser know topics! This channel is a gold mine of history!

Hello, fantastic content as always. Just a small constructive correction regarding the title: "Conquistador" is singular, it's plural in Spanish is "conquistadores" with the extra e. In case you want to include it in the title.
Keep up the good work!
Correcto.
Consquistador is its own word in English language, that's why the plural of the word is Consquistadors.
1:40 that's absolutely wrong. Magellan's mission was to get to the Molucas islands. It was after his death when Elcano decided to circumnavigate the world to return to Spain. This is a huge mistake.

I’m from Cagayan, Philippines myself and I never knew this part of our history. It was never thought. We only heard of a naval battle at the mouth of the Cagayan River and that was it. This could also be a reason why we physically and closely looked like Chinese or Japanese than out Malay brothers because we have ancestors from these groups. Cagayan is often historically dismissed as we assumed that most of the Philippine History happened in the capital Manila, and our history only began when the Spanish came. This is a helpful insight and I hope this channel will make more lesser known historical videos.
The artwork, with the ink-painting style, is amazing.
Hoping you could cover the Battle of La Naval de Manila.
The Dutch against the Spanish in a series of naval battles.
I second that. It’s one of the few battles that remain in Filipino consciousness (at least in Manila) due to the commemoration of Our Lady of La Naval every year. (Background: It was promised to the Virgin that if the Spaniards won the battle against the numerically superior Dutch, they would honor her every year).
Yeah this is the thing you need to do. There was an incursion into the harbor to try and take Cavite and Manilla in 1600 and I think again in 1630.
The Most Holy Theotokos had saved Manila from the Calvinists.
What about the second Battle of Manila against Li Ma Hon?
Indeed. The numerical and superior Dutch were absolutely fucked over by just some old merchant ships converted into a warship
I really love the variety and your uploads, they're amazing. I just wish you'd finish or carry on series that have been going on for months if not years.

It is often overshadowed by the Battle of Vigan which was against the Spanish Conquistadors plus their native allies vs. the Kingdom of Vigan.
@@ravensthatflywiththenightm7319 Yep the national hero & the Katipunan - The secret Philippine Revolutionary society - Who wanted to overthrow Spanish rule & colonization. Believing of self governed & freeing the country.
@@donpula6349 Right on.
1:58 error. Everyone (except the uneducated) in Magellan’s time knew the world was round. What Magellan accomplished was that circumnavigating the globe was possible and record the coordinates of latitude and longitude relevant to the Treaty of Tordesillas (1494) which divided Portuguese and Spanish overseas territories.
Actually Juan Sebastián el Cano was the first to circumnavigate the globe since Magallanes (The spanish nationaliced admiral) died in the midle of the tryp.
@@rodrigolaguna4476 it’s Magalhaes. He was Portuguese.
@@rodrigolaguna4476 Technically the first person to circumnavigate the globe was a slave that Magellan owned. He had been taken from the area near the Philippines to Portugal and had then served with Magellan on his journey.
@Mbern45 Making up as you go along.
@@latinEU It's a well documented fact and we know Magellan had his slave with him when he sailed. All we don't know is his name since it was never written down. You can look it up in a history book.
You should also see the Nossa Senhora da Graça Incident.
A Portuguese Carrack,the famed "Black Ship" had a 4 day battle against thousands of Samurai and ended in a die hard last stand.
this is very informative
Thank you for covering this Kings and Generals! Great video once again! 🤗
This is why the Philippines is distinct from its Asian neighbors... Geographically Asian, but culturally Hispanic... On one hand, we eat rice and value family. On the other hand, we value Christianity, eat flan and speak a little bit of Spanish...
The Philippines is basically a carribbean nation swept into asia.
Leche flan 👍
Filipinos feel like Hispanics when interacting with them. In my experience they’re the one Asian group hispanic feel very comfortable around
Wdym? Latin society highly values the family institution.
Culturally "Hispanic"... we don't even speak Spanish.
-2:29 Fort Santiago. The oldest fort located in the capital Manila, later became part of the Intramuros (Within the Wall), now became a symbol of national heritage site in the country.
Except it literally stands on the site of pre-colonial Maynila.
@@dayangmarikit6860 ... You were faster than me on the trigger by 7 minutes. Let me add that, Don Pula probably needs introduction to Rajah Soliman.
@@bamboo7714 - I highly suggest for you to read the article of Ethan Hawkley (Transforming Manila: China, Islam and Spain in a Global Port City).
The Dayang Marikit of Quora comes here to talk history. Great job.
@@circleancopan7748 - Hi.
I have been waiting for this for s o long. I have read about this battle and kept it in my mind. This pleases me.
Conquistadors fighting samurai pirates! You have my attention Kings
And also native Americans, the Tlaxcala Indians made out half of the Spanish crew.
there weren't, there are not Samurai pirates...
@@jejfjaroszynski3496 Of course, the Tlaxcala were at first allies of the Kingdom of Castile and later part of the same kingdom and highly appreciated by the crown.
@@carlosgarzon8900 If there were ... that's a fact. What cannot be known is the quantity.
I love how he tries to discredit everything against the Spanish, if they were English he would surely praise them and not try to deny any legend
Lmao, you can clearly watch the other videos on English History and see no bias in there.
If you think that warning people that the accounts are second hand sources or that the writers may have been exaggerating things is “discredit”, that’s on you.
I think it's a good video. The whole 40 soldiers vs 1500 samurai is a myth that even wikipedia had it wrong. I'm also spanish and I love my history, but we don't have need for legends.
Thank you for this, I'll share this in my Philippine History classes. ;)
Don't forget the majority of the spanish force is made up of native filipinos. Europeans specificaly spanish tends to ignore the huge contribution of the native filipinos
THANK YOU FOR THIS
I was literally looking for videos about this for the first time yesterday! You have impeccable (albeit somewhat creepy) timing! Thank you!
First Philippine History cover. Thank you Kings and Generals.
Thank you for Covering this wonderful Story. I am Filipino and I never know this. This never taught in our school. I hope you can make videos about the Philippines 😊❤🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Don't exist land without a spanish tomb brother. #HispanicPride
Spain also hired christian samurais who were banushed from japan as mercenaries. They defended manila when china tried to conquer philippines.
Agreed. Im a Spaniard and was always curious about it
@@trentalpha7749 yeah, They help defend our country from Chinese Navy led by General Lemahong (according to our books he was a pirate)
how about ninoy being a hero.
You guys suprise me everyday. Your team deserves the kind of applause like buttons cannot provide. Absolutely brilliant. KINGS AND GENERALS NEEDS TO BE PLAYED IN HISTORY CLASSES!
That Castilian Ceceo pronunciation of the letter Z in Lopez de Legazpi, nice attention to detail
It is not "ceceo", it is the correct way to pronounce the "Z" in. Castilian, if you pronounce the Z as an S you are the one who "sesea".
So in short: we know the battle happened but are not certain how exactly
We know that the Spanish defeated the japanese.
@@pepepretal5175 The Spanish defeated a group of southeast asian pirates, some of witch where japanese.
No wonder really, bad luck to go against the tercios of all things.
And he's right, we have not the slightest idea how it happened. That the Tercios would win against pirates is a given.
@@apgmk1970 no tercios, and probably only 3 japanese in a group of at bets 200 chinese and filipinos...
@@carlosgarzon8900 what's your source for the Spaniards not being soldiers from the tercios?
I'm from Cagayan and I heard about this battle but not as detailed as this. Thanks!
Awesome presentation!
Damn never expected this.
No one expects the Spanish Inquisition
Love your compilations
@@Jayako12 Thanks man!
This video reminds when OffyD ( the narrator of this video) played a battle like this ( samurais vs conquistadors) at the end of his NLP series " Barbarian Masters".
I am here purely because Metatron made a rant video about this one and i want to see what the latest "European Army vs Japanese Army" drama is all about. Nice video btw.
Now this is epic history 101..! Who would've tought that someone will cover these kinds of interactions.. and the best part is that i dont have to search for it.. it popped up on my notification feeds..! Ty!
Great content !
Greetings from Philippines 😍
And now, to wait for Sabaton to do their magic....
I hope they will..
Sabaton handling Filipino and Austrian histories when
It was the Swiss Guards... If you mentioned 60 men, I think the Battle of Tirad Pass would be acceptable..
@@comradekenobi6908 Not fake but exaggerated.
@@comradekenobi6908 You are clearly high on copium.
I never thought I'd hear anything ever made on this battle, much less from Kings and Generals!
I remember first hearing about it in a discussion about whether pike squares were ever used against the Japanese in any way. At the time the only source I could find from this was an obscure website detailing the local history of Cagayan as a region, and then only as a footnote.
THIS IS AMAZING THANK YOU KINGS AND GENERALS!!!
Great video!
There is an Spanish comic about this. I heard it had some success.
Name pls
Espadas del Fin del Mundo
I like hearing about the Philippines. My wife is from the island next to Cebu.
Finally, a video on my country! We need more of this.
Thank you for the video
I'm from the Philippines but now I found out, thank you very much for the knowledge.
You have to admire the Spanish 16th century bureaucracy, that resulted in the letters being filed and retained.
Thank you, this is great
Awesome content. Amazing
"It is unclear what the rest of the Spanish fleet was doing at the time"
Siesta
most probably
The only pirate story I've known is the battle of Don Galo in Luzon he fought Japanese Pirates in the end Galo successfully defended his barangay. Spaniard awarded him tittle Don.
I'm starting to see that Philippine history might be more colorful that what we know.
Wow, cool! I always love crossover episodes!
woohh good job Kings and Generals !! i have red this in my Philippine History Book numerous times. This is the reason why I love your channel very detailed and nicely animated. Didn't expect you could cover this topic. By the way i'm a Filipino and I have watched numerous videos of Kings and Generals.
I never thought my country would be included in a kings and generals video
Its sad that most philipinos dont know this epic encounter
@@g.o.paciong3015 Blame how our history teachers treat history in their classes - as solely rote memorization instead of what historiography ought to be - the rote memorization of events along with the understanding of how these historical events impact us.
@@AnimeArchaeologist Sadly the majority of Filipinos aren't intrested in reading history.
@@uncommon_name9337 Indeed, and it's all down to how history is taught in schools.
Puro walang alam nababasa sa comment section nagmumukhang mga mangmang nakakahiya
Please do the voyage of Ferdinand Magellan and the Battle of Mactan soon, K&G! Great work!
EDIT: Sir Devin, the stress on Luzon is on the second syllable.
*Magalhães not Magallanes or Magellan
@@luistroops3341 Ferdinand Magellan in English, Fernando Magallanes in Spanish. But yes, it should be Fernao Magalhaes (sp?) because he is Portuguese.
Fun fact:
Rajah Humabon tried to use Magellan to kill Lapu-Lapu. When Magellan was offed by the latter, Rajah Humabon made peace with him.
The Battle of Mactan isn't even that big. I prefer the Moro rebellion in Mindanao during the Spanish occupation or the Battle of Yultong.
@@saywhatnow2173 Blame the nationalists who tend to blow the Battle of Mactan way out of proportion.
Thank you , K&G .
didnt know this. awesome content as always keep it up.
Filipinos in the comments: whomstved summoned the ancient one?!
I make a sugestión for you: the story of the Chinese pirate Limahon and the battle of Manila (1574).
thank you for this Keep.it Up
great presentation guys, well done
