The Dutch were who most trafficked slaves in Angola, together with the germans companies of slaves and sugar. Dutch and Belgians cutted the hands of millions of Congolese people. The Portuguese made alliances with the king of Congo and the first Africans were brought to study in Portugal university, wich was a request of the king of Congo.
There is a long history of racism against Africans in Asia, which I feel oddly similar (though also different some ways) to Latin American case. Anti-African unrests in China were common in 1980s and 1990s; India, Japan and South Korea segregated Africans and isolated them. Not to mention Thailand, Vietnam, Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and Pakistan also have their entertainment industries working to discriminate Africans. Even as far as Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar and even Central Asian nations like Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan still operate a kafala system to bring Africans as slave workers.
One quibble on the section about the Civil War draft riots. The $300 that could be paid to avoid service was not so much a fine as it was a fee (specifically, a commutation fee).
Here, Vietnam is still tasting the everlasting impact of France's colonisation. Back in 1945, the majority of Vietnamese nationalists were happy to cooperate with the British fighting communists; the French after just a year drove every nationalist to the hand of Viet Minh and empowered local communist groups - and France invited their own creation and ally since 1776, the US, to complete the destruction. There is a joke that the Communist Party of Vietnam thanked France every year, because France helped them to cling to power.
Tsar Peter I of Russia, who later founded the Tsarist Empire, was an admirer of France and French art of colonialism. When he proclaimed the Russian Empire in 1721, dude sent students overseas to France. Look at the former Russian and Soviet colonies in Europe and Asia and you could see the French connection.
The British, for all of their evil doings (such as the Irish famine and Bengal famine), let the locals to operate as long as it did them business. Remember that Britain did not even bother trying to conquer China despite being victorious in two Opium Wars, but instead offered to keep the Qing monarch on the throne to protect Britain from the threats posed by France and Russia, is an example. The French were far more vile in their nature. They went to colonise the core system to make sure people would obey France. Ironically, British colonies in Africa, some can be exceptionally poor (like Sudan, South Sudan and Sierra Leone) but some can be considered (strangely) wealthier (Kenya, Ghana, Nigeria and Egypt); but the general French colonies in Africa are predominantly poor except... Morocco.
My dear, same same. GA’a was a visionary. Na wetin dem fight dem meet for front. Ase otan. LOL. And I am laughing when my ancestor was probably one of the Alaafin dealt with by Ga’a. LOL.
The information on this video is full of lies, misinformation and guess work. The story as usual is blaming the white man for the problems Aboriginals have. The truth is that Aborigines are white man-dependent because Aborigines are LAZY, there are so many tribes around the continent of Africa and they do not have the same problems Australian Aborigines have, why does anybody think this is so? If it is true that Aboriginals originated in Africa, what happened? why are they so different to Tribal groups in Africa? many of the African countries also had the white man arriving to their doorsteps why is it that Africans are not making the same claims? Aborigines in Australia have an easy life, the white man works hard to give about a third of the income to governments obsessed with giving Aborigines more. The problem is that by doing so Governments are ensuring that Aboriginl dependency continues and Aborigines being lazy are happy to continue a life of dependency They were given already 50% of the land in Australia, why isn't that enough? because they want to continue sucking the white man dry
You omitted that Argentinians before the arrival of African slaves- enslaved other white Argentinians. Point- slavery is old as sin- and is still practiced today and I don’t see blacks who love Justice - fighting this injustice in Africa- where Muslims own slaves and Asia where child slavery provides the West cheap prices. The omission of truth makes partial truths an agenda and lies.
Those were the days when those royal positions commanded respect and dignity. Unlike now when money and politics have polluted everything and those positions have lost their dignity and respect.
Absolutely disgraceful episode in the history of Britain, unfortunately not the only one either. Current generations shouldn't be made to feel any guilt, what was done was done and can't be undone but the indigenous people of Australia should be fully supported in reclaiming their birthright
Digging through the archives and bringing out the history of the past is what I know historyville for. The present new generations will know what happened in the country before they are born. Thanks for bringing out the video and news about the past government.
What is very interesting about this topic is the people that claim these to he lies fail to see a very important point. Rather they invented it or not the original invention was still crap and it took someone else to have the intelligence to create the better version that ened up being successful. Both the inventor and the people that advanced that invention deserve acknowledgment. Because without the people that advanced these inventions it wouldn't have been as successful. And i don't want to hear "someone would have eventually figured it out". False there is nothing logical about that statement because there's still plenty of failed inventions today that haven't progressed.
Now do what the blacks did to each other in Africa in Benin in the 1800’s. Then do the farm murders in SA. Then do the Barbary Slave trade where Africans enslaved millions of white Europeans. Then do the Tutsi massacres. You know, just for balance.
How about the 145,000 whites including 35,000 white women that blacks have killed since 1970? That figure doesn’t include the violent assaults and sexual assaults that didn’t end in death.
