The thing about European History is that it tends to leak out of Europe. Europeans haven't been great at staying put in Europe. As human beings do, the people of Europe were very busy traveling around to trade, to spread religion, and in a lot of cases to try and conquer other people. In the 15th and 16th centuries, Europeans developed a bunch of tools and techniques that would allow them to travel around the world, in numbers and force heretofore unseen on the planet. And a lot of the results weren't great for the people who already lived in the places Europeans were "visiting."

@@robrod7120 Well, Occam's Razor is applied when you're comparing two or more theories about a subject, and this quote refers to broad subjects like history or science. So you use Occam's razor to discard opposing and/or different theories, and then put them toghether to make a picture of something larger and complex-er like the history of europe in the age of exploration. To put it in other words, looking for the truth on the matter makes it more complex the more you investigate. I hope that answers your question.

For those interested to go further into this topic, I recommand reading these books : - The Great Divide, History and human nature in the old world and the new, Peter Watson. It's about how the discovery of Columbus changed everyhting from how we think to what makes us human, the billions new things ecountered in the new world, etc. - First encounters, Epic tru stories of cultural collision and conquest, Joeph Cummins. An entertaining book about different cultural shock encountered by navigators/explorators, detailing several major events I never heard of. - Ecological Imperialism, The biological expansion of Europe 900-1900, Alfred W. Cosby. How european explorations and expansionism shaped today's nature, and how european biological advantages helped in their conquest (diseases, food, agriculture, medicine etc)

I used to love CC but im kinda shocked by how unbalanced this was. Like John said "the truth resists simplicity". The truth was the Spanish only enslaved the natives in the very beginning but soon after laws were passed in Spain to treat the natives as subjects of the Crown . The encomienda system only lasted one generation and the "mita" system of "free" labour was copied from the system the incas had in place. Furthermore that is why so many african slaves were imported. I would have been balanced to add that the Europeans didnt go around africa kidnapping people but acquired their slaves by purchasing them from other Africans, usually prisoners of war from from local african wars. In fact many african cultures came to depend on the slave trade. Also, would have been balanced to mention how the Iberians intermarried with locals which led to the rich "mestisaje" culture of latinamerica (something that didnt occur with the other colonial nations that segregated and killed the natives) AND that the Iberians would also build universities, theatres, art schools - and i dont see how those were purely built to _extract_ the wealth of the colonies. For the most part the colonies were treated as extensions of the metropolis, not unlike the canary islands for example. And thats another thing that didnt happen with the other colonial nations. I dont know why here they treated Spain and Portugal as having has the same MO as England and the Low countries. Finally, Spain wasn't a poor kingdom when compared to most other european kingdoms at the time, reconquering the south (which was very wealthy at the time) gave them money, in fact the conquest of Granada gave them enough money to finance Columbus' expedition which by all accounts was supposed to be a failure, the Monarchs even knew this - as any educated person at the time would have known columbus was miscalculating the size of the planet, which he was, but the monarchs had the cash and were like whatever lets finance it and see what happens. (Columbus must be the luckiest person who has ever lived - a cruel, despotic, power hungry, psychotic idiot that now has the fame of being smart and celebrated - you could have mentioned how badly he managed the situation when he "discovered" and settled the dominican republic or how the Portuguese king wouldnt finance him as he knew his calculations were wrong - he thought the world was much smaller than it actually is, he just got lucky that he found land... and he died thinking he reached Japan or India)

On the other hand, while laws like the Leyes Nuevas were passed, the settlers in the New World mostly didn't follow them, they were rarely enforced, sparked rebellions e.g. in Peru, and were essentially watered down enough that their effect was rather limited. The practical enslavement of Indios - was not abolished, and the heir of the encomiendas became the haciendas where the the Indios were not called slaves any more but worked under similar conditions. The most important reason for replacing Indio labour with African slaves, though, was not how well the Indios were treated ;D but that much of the Indio population had been eradicated (often not intentionally) and there was a shortage of labour.

It's nothing anyone who knows humanity or follows history isn't aware of but it's so damn sad that upon meeting new people the thought isn't how both groups of people can mutually benefit but quickly becomes how one side can thoroughly dominate the other side to the benefit of the dominator. Even today in our more "civilized" world, no matter the conflict be it war or trade one side always has to feel like they're "winning" over the other. And it's why we're so fascinated and worried about alien life. If we encounter a more advanced society we can only envision them behaving the same way we would at the discovery of a more primitive peoples.

Well, John has drop hugely on historicity, or credibility. By no means the spanish in America were pious saints, were brutish conquerors. But one of all deeds, slavery was made Ilegal to any native by royal decree of kings Isabela and Ferdinand. There were still force labours, as it also happened in feudal Europe, but maybe harsher. But slavery (of indigenous people) was practically inexistent in Spanish America; I would venture to say it didn't exist, but Im pretty convince there were some minor exceptions and whereabouts. So no, slaves wasn't a deal while colonizinig the america's.

They skipped that stuff because they match their videos to US Advanced Placement (AP) curriculum. AP European History is entirely focused on *modern* Europe, which as a historical category starts roughly around 1400. If you're familiar with the divisions in academic history you know modern European history is pretty much always treated as its own deal compared to medieval or antiquity history. And yes, don't worry, what we lose in breadth we gain in depth. As you can tell, this course will have way more detail than the World History series.

The Portuguese hoped to form a strategy known as "Mare clausum" which as you all know today did not work out so well for the Portuguese. They wanted to control the South Atlantic as it was the only way to get into the Indian Ocean. Later the English and the French would contest that and create the rule that is now used to regulate the seas, "Mare Liberum".

I love this series and learn so much from it. Your emphasis on an objectively accurate description of history is admirable. As such, to say that "Africa was rich in slaves", while perhaps technically true at the time from a European perspective, is glaringly tone-deaf from the more enlightened perspective that we enjoy today.

These descriptions of the Early Spanish and Portuguese exploration deeply leave out so many details - Likely because John is operating from a US history curriculum which demonizes and leaves out important details in Hispanic history. The Black Legend is still very prevalent in American History courses and I wish John took the time to update his curriculum with the fact that it has been discredited in mind

All these videos have been very prejudiced against Southern Europeans. Not to mention it doesn't even mention Eastern Europe aside from the fall of Constantinople. You did not even mention the end of the Reconquista as a factor that instigated further exploration and conquest. It's funny how whenever you mention "Iberians" and Southern European countries it is to say how they are poor and lacking, and what terrible things they did, but when what they accomplish is seen as good you claim it as "European". And it seems you're not even aware of that. You did a great job shifting perspectives and showing what it was like for the natives, but you should also acknowledge that you perspective is not really European, but US-Anglo-Saxon.

Portugal in that period was poor it is a traditional view. Braudel emphasizes that Portugal was not such a poor region in the late 15th century as has been depicted, nor completely was cut- off from the rest of Europe. Her economy was neither primitive no elementary. 1) The Mediterranean type of climate enabled her to produce variety of products like olil, cork, fruit, wax and honey, corn from outside. 2) The external trade helped in the development of navigational activities an promoted shipping interests.

9:32 There are mistakes here, first off, Cortés didn't land in Mayan lands, he landed in what became Veracruz, Mayan lands were further south. Also Moctezuma ruled over the Aztec empire which was not so vast (maybe around the size of Spain), his territory was contained to what is now central Mexico. You seem to have conflated the Aztecs and the Mayans together. The Mayan areas weren't unified in an empire at this stage and started in modern southern Mexico and stretched into central America (the 'to Honduras' you mention).
