Dammit, you beat me to it.

Columboi

Lol

Probably because he says 1942. The Second World War just got a whole lot more confusing.

Also the mistake shows up in the captions, so written proof.

Yup, well known second world war fact. The Vikings discovered Japan around the same time leading to their attack on Pearl Harbour in retaliation for the raping and pillaging.

You heard right 😅

Haha and at 3:19 he said which coincidentally twice. I guess he has to rush videos with the new schedule

Sadly yes. Franco wasn't defeated like Hitler or Mussolini. He peacefully passed away of old age after rulling spain for 40 years. His only daughter had many children but because she was a woman, her children lost the surname. That is except his son Francisco Franco (named after the grandpa) who has four children

I’m from argentina and I have a friend with that surname lol

@@ivan_eira99 Yea there's many Francos around of course. But not descendants of our very best dictator hah

Oh alright. Then we can scratch this idea.

@@maxpuente6291 Sadly? The man saved Spain from both communism and war, he is a hero.

Yeah, America was already in WW2 when nobody knew it existed. 🤣

I have to hand it to Chris getting past all those U-boats, but it probably helped that Franco and Hitler were buddies.

@b phillip I guess my family discovered America. They got here in 1904.

Lief Erickson was way cooler

Coincidence? I think not.

I coincidentally saw Jovian burning down the library of Antioch.

Edititing mistake

>A people can only be genocided once by just one cause -someone who clearly has not brushed up on their history of Judaism

It's kinda absurd the fact that a hundred people commited genocide, the same with the conquistadors, the smallpox was the real factor.

@King Victor this guy is worse so that guy is a saint is a rock solid argument.

@King Victor tbh is strange that the black legend still live, mate 500 years are passed move on Right now it's used as propaganda by south America so they can blame someone but themself

@King Victor yeah i agree, even MAYBE he's don't become president of mexico lol because maybe he has some european dna

Either that or rhey would have invaded Europe. Spain had a young population and strong warrior culture, so someone was getting invaded regardless.

Oops, I thought it said any Colombians left.

Scrumptious bee if you didnt say that, it would sound like a joke lol

Yeah this video has some wrong words, repeating phrases, and some factual errors (which is fair enough, there’s a lot of misinformation about Columbus)

But his name was Christobal Colon

@@johndavidcollins6163 It was very common to translate personal names. There need to be more consideration for two other Italian navigators of the last decade of the 15th century( 1497 & 1499) and later, Giovanni Caboto and Amerigo Vespucci .

@@johndavidcollins6163 Christovam Colombo, not Cristobal Cólon, the Spaniards always had a problem to spell foreigners names , anstate to say Buch , they say Bu . Anstead to say the letter V They say always B.

Lol! Good one!

Should it not be descendants and not names explained? Speaker need elocution therapy.

He never married nor had any children... Nikola that is.

pigeons...

Fun Fact: Columbus cut off the hand of a Spanish Man who raped a 13 year old Native Girl that’s why he was fired as Governor and sent to Spanish Prison

David Hayes he didn’t harass anyone stop making shit up and actually read his memoir

There's a channel Knowing Better that has a video named "In defense of Columbus." Perhaps you might be interested.

David Hayes Yea because we know so about what happened on an island in the middle of no where 600 years ago come on the fact of the matter is we know very little about Columbus this means people can twist he’s life story to fit what ever narrative they want

It depends if you include his Step Children as Washington’s

No, the leftists killed them all.

@@sunglassshinpan1352 what

@MrDJTraviTrav listen man, I'm not looking for an answer for me, I'm making a video suggestion for Name Explain, it doesn't matter if I already know the answer or not, Name Explain can make another interesting video out of my suggestion.

He died a virgin, so no.

On a related note to that, I ordered some goods of the Linkin Park fan club like back '06 and the é in my name was replaced by ©√

Yes, because if you remember at the time he would’ve had to dodge the strategically placed German U-boats.

Haha

During World War II

The guy is elocution challenged

That time stamp doesn’t exist...

@@declaniii6324 Fixed it

The city of Colombo is also the national capital of Sri Lanka, an island country that lies directly South of India.

@@liam-man7265 the portuguese put that name to the city wenn it were a Portuguese colony, and the name of the island was Ceilão, Ceilam, now Sri Lanka.

Vitor Silveira Seems accurate. ✅

And survived the u-boat armada.

@@amehak1922 lmao

And survived the German Nazis.

No

Nobody really "carries his name" since surnames were not inherited in his time, he was only named Erikson because his father's name was Erik (Eric the Red), and his children would be named (first name) Leifson

And Colón is a pretty common surname too

I wish I could be as cool as you being from Flavor Town

The last documented descendent of Abe Lincoln died childless in 1985. However, actor George Clooney is a decent of Abe Lincoln’s mother’s family.

mfv89 And Filipa Perestrelo was one do the most powerfull woman in the world. Only a worthy portuguese could marry her.

@@rodrigojardim6752 because she calls also Moniz an important aristocratic family in Portugal.

Spanish and Italian people can understand each other.

Spanish and Portuguese would have to be learned by anyone working in that period in Spain, as well as French. Sailors also learned Italian given the power of Genoa and Venice at the time. In general people in Iberia spoke Spanish, Portuguese, plus regional languages like Catalan, Basque etc Colombus would pick up Spanish rather easily, given its closeness to Italian and his own upbringing in a port town

The romance languages were closer to each other than what they're today

Italian was no more than a literary language in the 15th Century, and nobody really used it in everyday life until much later (as a long process following Italian unification in the second part of 19th Century, apart it being very close to the language spoken in Tuscany and in Rome). So, if Columbus was born in Genoa, he was a citizen of the Republic of Genoa and speaking the local language. Genoa’s economy was based on commerce and freight transport, so it must have been very common for local merchants and sailors to interact with people from and in the Iberian peninsula, as well as all the Mediterranean region. In what is presently classified as the Genoan or Ligurian dialect there are many influences of Portuguese, Catalan and Spanish. By the way, the fact that the wealth of Genoa and Venice was based on controlling the commercial routes with the Far East through their dependences in the Eastern Mediterranean basin, could be one reason for their reluctance in financing the opening of alternatives routes.

I was certainly always told that the year was 1492... There must be quite a lot of people who consider the 20th century as an ancient time.

@@liam-man7265 yes

My last name is colon! I’m from the US and my father is Mexican 🤔

Genova was a republic

@@chrisresnikoff1741 コロン (coron) in katakana; Colon in romaji (Roman letters) on the box. I should know; I lived there for 20 yrs!

Well yeah but in American English it’s spelled without a “u” and it’s one word.
