Comanche Warriors vs. Spanish Soldiers : Cuerno Verde's Revenge 

There is a monument on the way to Rye that tells the story

👍🏼

Mora is such a neat little place

My great great grandmother told me her great grand mother was sold to Comanches because her father was a drunk abuser so he made a deal with a band of Comanches

Welp, fk Mora. They shouldn't have been there in the first fkn place.

her family name?????

You’re right, they had the power behind the proclamation to make it so

@@hunnerat-touaregi4439 From your key board !

The Spanish never had any empire proclamation in their legal papers. King Carlos I was emperor but of the Holy Roman Empire, not Spanish anything. "Self proclaimed" you see how SELF PROCLAIMED historians use words to minimize others?

Indeed, and the most stupid, incompetent and hypocrite one. A consequential effect of the rotten roman catholic church. Pweeh!!

@@nomelleganlasnotificaciones that’s incorrect the Spanish had proclaimed the Imperio Hispania the moment the discovered Americas and started printing on their coins

when a nation bases their livelyhood on a rock (gold) they are doomed

@@jimmyhaley727 You either summed up the whole problem in just a few words or you didn’t

​@@henryperez606he didn't because we extracted mostly silver from Perú. Inflation didn't kill the spanish empire, napoleon's occupation and the british taking that chance and fomenting meanwhile independence did.

The Spanish quit against the Apache

100% agree. The Spanish were a product of their times. They had to be hard and fierce bc of the people they were up against.

The name that the Spanirds gave to the bison-buffaloes was "cibolo", since they saw huge herds of bison when they were searching in the southern United States for the fantastic city of Cibola (abundant with gold). Something that astonished them is that they did not see the herders of these cattle (they did not initially understand that they were wild cattle). They were also impressed that the prairie Indians, when they hunted a bison, ate its raw meat and drank its blood.

@@josealbert4596 Goatis would be proud

There is a good book about the Comanches, titled Empire Comanche, written by Pekka Hamalainen. It seems that the superior orders that the Spanish had was to try to make all the Indians Catholic, including the Comanches, and put them at the service of the Spanish empire, so after having skirmishes, they quickly made peace, at the same time that the Spaniards gave gifts to the Comanches "donated by the king of Spain", consisting of low quality rifles, gunpowder, mirrors, bells, low quality knives, colored fabrics, old clothes. So the conflicts began when the Spaniards were expelled : the Mexicans refused to give any kind of gift to the Comanches. The worst thing for the Comanches were two or three smallpox epidemics almost immediately that killed 80% of them. .

The name that the Spaniards gave to the bison was "cibolos" (because they saw them for the first time when they were looking for a non-existent city (similar to Mexico City) that supposedly existed in the southwest of the United States called "Cibola", in which there was "a lot of gold". When they saw the cibolos (bisons) they were surprised that there were no shepherds taking care of them (they thought they were domestic animals) and that the savages were the Indians who hunted them: sometimes they ate their raw meat and usually they drank the blood of the buffalo after hunting it.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Yes nothing was stolen from the Comanche because they were living on stolen land themselves. And they were brutal all men were instantly killed all older kids were instantly killed and babies were instantly killed and the women were sexually assaulted and kept alive including female children. There is no justification for that no matter how mad or angry you are. The women that were recaptured by the Texas rangers the toughest men that ever lived where shells of their former selves. 50% of all rangers died the ones that survive are called the toughest man that Texas has ever known.

Cowards. 😅

they put up a hell of a fight but were too decentralized to be so organized as a large army. it is interesting to think about for sure!

I also, can see a distinct comparison between Comanche; Hun and; Mongol. All remarkable in the face of opponents with similar-ish weaponry. All seemingly unbeatable, when lead by remarkable commanders. And unfortunately, not much good without those remarkable commanders. Buuuttt, the Comanche also had to deal with introduced diseases and an opponent with ever evolving weaponry. The Comanche were undoubtedly masters of war and as such would either be: Victor or (sad as it turned out) Vanquished.

Not sad at all

​@@thechiefwildhorse4651 Do the Comanche pay reparations to the Indians they enslaved?

@@thechiefwildhorse4651 the historic record shows that Indian tribes had not seen the horse until the arrival of the Spanish in the SW and the French and English in the east. Furthermore the genetic record does not support pre Colombian horse, sheep or pigs populations. This is why Comanche raid exploded in size and range when horses arrived in their territory

@@cbbees1468 you think Comanches were never enslaved? That’s a stupid game to play. Humans guilting each other over slavery is like cursing at yourself in the mirror. We all have the blood of slaves and slavers in us at the same time

4 arrows in 3 seconds would be from a very week bow. If you want Power you'll need some time to draw.

​@@konradvonschnitzeldorf6506 short bows are much faster and easier to use on horseback

The comanche remind me of special forces. I read in Empire of the Summer Moon, by Gwynn, that they did fire their bows while hanging from the horse neck, and at a quick pace of three. He also went on to write that the warriors collected metal from the Spaniards using it in the place of flint for their tips.

The Spanish crown did control the coastal areas of the northern and Western gulf of Mexico. I live in Northwestern florida in Santa Rosa County in the State of Florida. Many of the older streets of nearby Pensacola Escambia County have Spanish names like Intendencia and Cervantes. Their first settlement here was destroyed by a hurricane and life was hard for them. They also controlled coastal of the southeast and were driven out of some of it in the17th century from Savanna, Georgia by the British officer Oglethorpe. Some think our local southern white bulldogs were brought by spanish settlers to the region. The cracker cattle and horses certainly came with spanish to Florida.

​@@loquat44-40 Interesting...in addition to that not long ago some Scientists found out through DNA that the U.S longhorn cattle comes from Spanish cattle of the Canary islands ( wich is rather strange).

@@sergiofernandez4566 It not so strange and also we believe that the spanish imported dogs from Canary Islands. It was a supply point for spanish ships going to the americas. There is an article in a pdf format that I cannot cut and paste here that explains it. The conquistadores were still in the process of wiping out the indigenous people there that well prepared them to do the same in the Americas.

They were terrified of men like Jeff Turner, who stalked, scalped and killed many of them after a group of Comanchi men invaded his home, killed his wife and children while at home minding their own business just living their lives.

He isn't quite accurate though. Our bows were 45-90 ibs max and circling while riding towards an enemy isn't "Comanche tactics" It's plains tactics. Also the Sioux were called the finest horsemen "on this continent or any other" by Crooke who fought the southern and northern tribes. The Comanche were huge and powerful but don't give them everything and say "only the Comanches could do so and so" it just isn't true

@@Daylon91 Jjust began this episode, but I believe the Sioux were considered the ‘finest light Calvary’ on any continent. Both tribes were bad ass for certain (Lords of the Northern & Southern Plains, the Sioux & Comanche) I’d have to give the nod to the Comanche for savagery, & the Sioux for sophistication. I’m a broken record, but I cannot help feeling that Empire of the Southern Moon is one of the finest books I’ve ever read (probably 5x + !!). Would love a similar work focusing upon the Sioux.

@@Daylon91 t'epi kin he waste le anpetu!

It was an idiotic policy to buy peace through tribute... There was not a "king" or big chief of the Comanche to make treaties so each band of Comanches in practice was independent, also they could have peace with one community and destroy the next one... Juan Bautista de Anza or Jack Hays showed that the right answer was always counter raids or punitive expeditions to destroy Comanche camps, that force them to make peace or deter them to attack

@@Chepicoro True. The Spanish Empire was pretty weak by 1800 and Texas was not a profitable or revenue-producing area so, they had very little military presence there.

The Mongols carried two bows, a 50 pound bow to be used on horseback, the 100 to 150 pound bows carried by the Mongols were used on foot. This was due to 50 pounds is all you can pull while on horseback. I suspect the Commaches did the same, for it reflect bow and arrow technology.

Native tribes didn't pull the bow outward as Europeans do, we push the bow outward from our body so as to maintain balance while horseback. There are also accounts of arrows shooting straight through buffalo and sticking into the ground on the other side.

@@hezekiahwhiteman1784 First Americans also use the "Mongolia Release," instead of the "Mederterrain Release" when it comes to bows. The "Mederterrain Release" is to use three fingers to pull the string and if you are right handed, the arrow sits on the left side of the bow With the "Mongolia Pul l" you use a "Thumb Release" (a device hooks onto your thumb and you pull the string with that devive) and the arrow, if you are right handed, goes to the right of the bow. I have never read a clear statement that one was better then the other. The Roman Emperor Maurice, around 590 AD, had his troops use either method (He called them Roman and Persian methods, but is unclear if by Persian he meant what we call "Mongolia release"). The Mongolia Release had one advantage, you could put an arrow in the bow, three more arrows between the fingers of your right hand (again assuming the shooter is right handed), the archer could shoot all four arrows very quickly, even quicker then Texas Rangers could shoot they six shoot revolvers the Rangers adopted when fighting the Commaches. The Commaches do not seem to see the bow as obsolete till after the introduction of repeating firearms post US Civil War given this high rate of fire power the "Mongolia release" permitted. On the other hand the "Mederterrain release" provided a longer pull and thus more power for the same length of pull. In Europe, the "Mongolia Release" was tied in with the Composite bow of the Steepes. Given the Composite bow was held together by glue, glue that was NOT immune from the effect of water, was rare in Europe given the higher humidity of Western Europe (and the existence of Yew in Western Europe, a wood that could be used to make 100 to 150 pound bows). The Composite bow of the Steepes also were in the 100 to 150 pound rage but given the lack of Yew and other usable wood, the Composite bow was preferred on the Steepes. As to First Americans, I have never seen any record that they used bows over 50 pounds. In the Eastern US, you had Hickory, another wood good gor bows, but the Eastern US and Canada was heavily wooded and a 50 pound bow was good enough given the heavy tree coverage in Eastern North America. Thus most First Americans did not need a 100 pull bow, a 50 pound pull bow was good enough for them. The only possible exceptions would be the Commaches and Apaches, both well known bow users in areas with few trees. The Sioux, was a woodland tribe till they adopted the horse and thus no need for anything over 50 pounds while a woodland tribe, and as a horse riding tribe on the Great Plains stuck with the 50 pound bow if shooting on horse back. Just an observation that the very strong pull bows of the English Long Bow and the Mongolia Composite bows never seemed to have been used in North America. Even English settlers had dropped them (Mostly due to such bows were tied in with the British Monasteries that had been confiscated by Henry VIII and by 1600 were seen as being tied in with the Catholic elements in what was increasingly Protestant Britain). I.e. it was mostly Purtains who settled in the Colonies of New England and the Frontier, Second and Third sons of British Nobility in the South (with a huge population of thevies shipped to the Southern Colonies to avoid conviction of being criminals) with the Dutch in New York and Germans in Pennsylvania. Sidenote: In the 1600s and 1700s it was viewed as against international law to ship convicted criminals over Seas. To get around this restriction, people accused of crime were given an offer, pay off the accuser with money such an accused criminal would bring in the American Colonies. Thus a lot of "Indentured Servants" had been unconvicted criminals trying to avoid the noose. This policy ended post American War of Independence, when Britain decided it was OK to ship convicted criminals to Australia. Just a comment on Bows and Arrows in North America.

It can reach draw weights over 100lbs, and did. Its called a 'composite', and has been used for thousands of years by cultures everywhere.

@@paulmentzer7658 I'm speaking of my tribe, which is crow, and the way I was told by my grandpa how to shoot these shorter bows, and another factor was that plains Indians commonly covered their bows with hide glue, and sinew or wrapped it in rawhide or a mixture of both, thus increasing draw weight.

After the Spanish Natives retreated after the 100 Comanches appeared, the battled lasted 3days... Cuerno Verde was the last warrior who fought til his death....his headress still remains in the Vatican today!

Not everything is the age of the weapons, also dealing with the population, knowing the terrain, the weather... All Native Americans from north to south were led by the cacique, the chief of the tribe, of the band. The heritage that the Germans leave from their culture to the future are luxury cars and an arrogant and psychopathic empire of 10 years.

We feel the same way about this comment. 😂

No. Only white people in all of known history were slavers and conquerors. Everyone else were peaceful Hippies. Sub-Saharan Africans had magical powers and built cities like Wakanda and built the pyramids, the Muslims were only spreading the religion of peace, the Aztecs and Mayans weren't really doing human sacrifices, they were actually performing the first open heart surgeries that the evil White People misunderstood as religious sacrifices.

Well...the Lakota, Cheyenne and Arapaho tried that and only succeeded in winning a few battles, but eventually lost the war. The Indians problem wasn't simply numbers. It was a lack of logistical support. Since everything they had was handmade or stolen...when they lost a battle their horses, weapons, and food were not easily replaced. That's why the US Army would destroy captured villages. They knew that it would take months or even years to replace the lost goods. On the other hand...European technology allowed mass production of weapons and food to sustain their ability to wage relentless warfare. Which gave the enemy no respite to replace their losses. It was always going to be a simple matter of attrition!

Divide and conquer and sadly its working. All through history..

@@mikearnold7982 The Aztecs were using their neighbors for human sacrifices. I’m not exactly sure I would count that as pitting neighbors against each other. The victim tribes just did not want to have the beating hearts ripped out of there Chest anymore.
