They do speak the same language yeah, although in the Valencian region for instance the use of the language has substantially declined. They just developed different identities as they didn't belong to the same political entity (the Crown of Aragon is just how we refer to all the possessions under the same monarch, but they barely shared common institutions, unlike the Crown of Castile). So you could argue it is the same as an American and British not considering themselves the same even though they speak the same language.

@@newhistoryspain Gracias 🙂

​@@newhistoryspain In the western part of the autonomous community (CA) of Catalunya it's mostly spoken the same dialect as the CA of València. The north-western dialect is like tortosian valencian spoken until near Castelló de la Plana. Nothing changes when you cross the Sènia river but the Spanish province and the CA.

Very simple, they speak similar languages, but are not catalán, same as Nigerians are not British and they speak english.

I recommend you to check other videos in the channel, like the story of an influential Spaniard in the Kingdom of Hawaii 😊

Thank you Robert!

@@newhistoryspain I am very impressed by the story of Berenguela. So much smarter than her grandmother, yet so much less know. Before, we visited in 2021, my daughter and I watch a good RU-vid series that ran from her to the rise of Trastamara. We went many places but I made a point of going to the Cathedrals in Murcia and in Seville where respectively two parts of Alfonso X are interred.

That describes Capitalism to a tee. So, I agree.

@@davidhinkley Capitalism has been around for about 500 years. Facism has really only existed for about 100-150. Capitalism is also an economic system, not a political system.

I think fascists regimes can be sustainable if they are not expansionist/imperialistic. If they attempt to constantly expand their borders, then yeah, that attitude puts the entire world against you.

Yeah social media platforms actively promote right-wing ideology, it is not just that they show up more because they generate more engagement.

actually they are fascists are corporatists which is based of medieval guild systems which then became capitalism or they are capitalists

@@NikasInParis_777 a corporatist is not a Libertarian or a Anarcho Capitalist, the further right on the economic spectrum.

@@RobiFM90 well thats in libertarian economic right you see as but authoritarian right economic principals tends to be corporatist, nationalization, or free marketism and less total freedom as you say

Let's be realistic, is any government any resemblance of what it labels itself? They've all devolved into some form of corruption they are all basically some form of totalitarian tyrannical dictatorships. It's all propaganda and illusion. The sad part is how they've convinced billions they are handicapped of any choice and must accept tyranny. Imagine how the future will look back on these times and those who were too weak willed to sacrifice anything for the fate of the species. We deserve to fail and slip into oblivion as our will is weaker than the will to oppress the species into extinction. Congratulations to social media and governments propaganda campaigns for the belittlement of the mental state of the species and its degeneration. Good job.

@@NikasInParis_777 I disagree, I see many many corporatist in Center, Center Left and even Liberal parties. Fascism to me is a centrist chamaleon movement, they are certainly no neoliberals or Libertarians or Ancaps, most of these want the abolition or reduction of the state (right wing economic extremism) which is something that fascism definitely does not want

Sí, La Historia de España - Memorias Hispánicas en RU-vid o en podcast. Tiene Patreon en patreon.com/lahistoriaespana

@@newhistoryspain gracias por responder, y el contenido es lo mismo en ambos canales? Llevo como dos años viendo tus vídeos en RU-vid y Spotify pero solo en Inglés. No sabia que existía en Español

He cambiado un poco los guiones para simplificarlos, en ese sentido creo que está mejor en inglés. También ahí no uso música de fondo. Los contenidos pueden ser un poco diferentes, hay contenido en español que no tiene sentido hacerlo en inglés porque no atraería a una audiencia anglosajona, y es posible que también ocurra al revés.

@@newhistoryspain soy puertorriqueño! Mi tatarabuelo era de Girona! Me subscribí orita al patreon del canal en inglés pero quizás cambie luego al de Español

Thank you, Shane!

Sadly this is something that should be considered required for all history creators, but it is not common to disclose.

Este canal está dirigido principalmente a estadounidenses y británicos, no hace falta que un español venga aquí 😂

Spain was imposed catholicism during a 40 year dictatorship and after it people have left most of catholics believes. Though there's still lots of traditions on Spain that come from catholicism😊

Wtf do you mean

Please elaborate on what you mean. Because if I'm understanding you correctly then you're saying if Visogothic Spain was so anti-homosexual and the sources speak so unkindly of homosexuals, then he should speak as unkindly of them. However, I disagree with you there because I don't believe you have to sound like the lawmakers of that time to speak about what they implemented. I should be able to speak about anti-Jew laws in Nazi Germany without sounding like an antisemite because "that's what the sources and lawmakers said". If you are saying that he should sound homophobic because he is a Spaniard and most Spaniards are devout Catholics then I also disagree with you. Projecting your own views onto history is wrong on so many levels. Speaking as a neutral observer is often times best unless you need to clarify that what you are speaking of is truly right or wrong. Referring back to that Nazi Germany example, it would be unjust for an educator not to call the Nazis out for how evil they were. And similarly it would be unjust for the presenter to not talk about how brutal the laws were because they were.

Jesus taught that we can hate the sin, but not the sinner.

@@remomojapelo1840 what?! So you should call out Nazi evil but not homosexual evil? What double standard is this?

Thank you, I will certainly do videos on Spanish Louisiana, California, etc. before we get there in the chronological series (which will take years). Tomorrow I will publish here episode 5 on the Pre-Roman peoples of the Iberian Peninsula

😂 i've way more random stories i could make videos about, but they probably wouldn't get many views

Fácil de decir, difícil de hacer 😂 al menos hay subtítulos

I had no problem understanding...

@@newhistoryspainas an English only speaker. I was able to follow you okay 👍 nice video

Absolute nonsense. Gay marriage has been legal in Spain since 2005.

It would make sense to relay events by supporting basic human rights What's next, we are gonna relay information on slavery "as a purely grey area"? No. It's evil.

It takes a great amount of either ignorance or evil to promote the castration and murder of people for simply existing. Have a blessed day.

No and no. What are you yapping about?

It didn't seem like he was advocating for anything outrageous? If people think he is some kind of activist perhaps they are a bit sensitive on issues of sexuality.

Thank you ☺️

Get over what

@@scot1913 They got a bum deal....get over it !

What is this comment even trying to communicate. It’s just a part of history.

Thank you so much ❤️

modern paganism sure, but history hasn’t been exactly kind to *anyone*

@samuel-fg6wh At the risk of repeating myself, it depends on the kind of Pagansim in question. With Greco-Roman paganism, homosexuality was accepted as folklore. The concept of "Straight" and "Gay" did not exist as we know them in modern culture. You have to divorce yourself of many of the cultural biases you may personally have when trying to understand the ancient past.

We are talking about several Pagan religions of the Roman Empire in the 2nd and 3rd centuries, and again there was a generalized attack on sex for non-reproductive purposes.

@newhistoryspain With respect, other interpretations of the past do exist. History is a lore. It is not a science. Some interpretations of homophobia as we know it in modern times stem directly from Abrahamic religions. Again, Sir, or Ma'am; I do not wish to be rude. But there is a reason we have a difference of opinion here. I'm afraid we will have to agree to disagree

Yeah, the Greo-Roman world didn't glorify male homosexuality. It did demonize female homosexuality and praise male dominance, but only dominance. As male, if you were the "taker" in a homosexual relationship, you would be humiliated and decredulated by society as a man, and that would branch out into all corners of your life, defiling your reputation in politics, etc. Basically it was accept for men to put their sword in any sheath, but for a man to be treated as the sheath was considered effeminate. This is why great male figures in ancient times took male lovers with no fuss. But once rumors started circulating that "they didn't wear the pants in the relationship", then there would be trouble. But iirc, Germanic pagans were even more extreme by downright no accepting any sorts of homosexual behaviour.

Thanks!

You want to end up banned, don't you?

@@newhistoryspain I’m just warning you that all of these Mohammed and Ali and Hasan and Tariq only subscribed so they could hear you praise al Andalus cuz maybe they find slavery good idk. When u make vids about fruity stuff, they won’t support u. You can see how many saying it’s based. Btw I actually agree, it is based, but yea I don’t agree with them in anything else. U should be good Spaniard and care about your people idk why you are strange

The industrial revolution truly took its toll on our climate if it affected even the ancient egyptians.

Yeah, sadly I think in every country there are a lot of bad history takes, mostly because of nationalistic narratives.

Thanks Khalid

Yeah unfortunately it seems like the channel launch has been a disaster. Honestly I thought with the RU-vid algorithm now promoting more small channels I would have gotten some a few hundred views and subs. I hope I don't have to cancel things again, since there wouldn't be more comebacks.
