They find new planets all the time, some even potentially habitable. Until we have the ability to visually image them, most people will shrug and say "neat". If we set up a gravitational lens telescope on our own sun that let us take actual, high-res pictures of planets in distant solar systems, then people might be more excited.

It's one of the leading arguments that it isn't named after Vespucci at all. Most placenames named after explorers or their expeditions take their last name, not their first. There is a theory that it was named after either a Welsh navigator on John Cabot's expedition, or a Welsh patron of Cabot's expedition. That being Richard ap Meurige (anglicised as Amerike).

the Ottawa museum recognized that the portuguese settlements in terra nova and labrador date back 16 years before the official discovery of the Americas by Christopher Columbus. they would have been discovered by fishermen from the azores in search of cod, much appreciated, but rare in azorean waters. however, it is very difficult to be absolutely sure because the villages were razed during the French occupation and most of the documents related to the Portuguese empire were destroyed during the Lisbon earthquake. we don't even know half of what the lisbon archives could tell us ...

This video misses one important point. There was a deep and long-lasting ideological effect on European thinking. Up until that point, medieval Europe had looked back in time for inspiration in exploring the world's truths. Ancient Rome and Greece were held up as pinnacles of civilization, philosophy, and science. But when the new world was found, as one thought leader of the time was quoted as saying, the Europeans had now discovered something the Ancients never dreamed of. By this line of argument, it is no coincidence that Copernicus developed his heliocentric model in the early 1500s, starting at almost exactly the same time when people finally realized Columbus had discovered a new continent. The discovery of the new world "broadened the horizons" of Europe in more ways than one.

Here's an idea: What happened after the defeat of Napoleon and the Restoration? Did lords just go to the peasants and say we own you again? Did the soldiers just switch sides and went pro-monarchy? Were there any attempts to immediately overthrow the king? Ultimately, how did the people react to the restoration of feudalism after 30 years of fighting it?

@patrickanquetil7937 3 года назад

I think In France people reacted pretty badly and Napoleon even made a comeback showing french people still loved him. The rest of Europe still saw him as an oppressor and thus for germans, Italians and Spanish it was seen as a liberation though it also brought new revolutionary ideas which burssed in 1848 during the spring of the people.

@dustin628 3 года назад

@samrevlej9331 3 года назад

Essentially, Louis XVIII (Louis XVI's brother) restored some noble prerogatives and attempted to compensate nobles and the clergy for lands lost during the Revolution, but he knew he couldn't undo what the Revolution had achieved in terms of equality before the law, nationalizing and selling Church lands (which made up 6% of French lands in 1789), and instituting new local administrations like the préfets in the départements, or even going back to an absolute monarchy. The nobility of the First Empire was maintained, but gradually sidelined, especially after the Hundred Days and Waterloo. Louis XVIII refused to have a constituant assembly draft a Constitution due to previous experience, but accepted granting a Charter which basically acted the same way but came from the king and not an elected assembly. The king wasn't quite "chosen by God" anymore, more by "Providence", but more emphasis was put on the centuries of monarchical tradition. There were two houses of Parliament, the Chamber of Deputies and the Chamber of Peers, but the lower house (the former) was elected by 100,000 men, based on a poll tax (300 francs), which excluded even the business bourgeoisie, only giving power to noble hereditary landowners (which caused the 1830 revolution). The king appointed the prime minister (president of the Council of ministers), who had to command a majority in Parliament. Basically, it was both an attempt at compromise between the legacy of the Revolution and the Empire and the restoration of the old order, while at the same time basing itself off the British model. Charles X, who succeeded his brother Louis XVIII, was an Ultra-Royalist who attempted to bring back the Ancien Régime, even having himself coronated at Rheims, which his brother hadn't done and which most people found utterly ridiculous. That eventually backfired in 1830, when, after losing a snap election to the liberal faction, he dissolved the Chambers, suspended freedom of the press and modified the rules for the legislative elections, which promptly triggered the July Revolution in which he was ousted and Louis-Philippe of Orléans became king of the French in the more liberal and constitutional July Monarchy, which put the emphasis on national sovereignty, the legacy of the Revolution, and widened the voter base.

@johnladuke6475 3 года назад

The "landed in India" myth comes from later language associations and revisionist history. Because the native peoples somehow got called "Indians" along the way (origins of the term are hotly debated), some bright spark decided that Columbus must have confused them for people from India. Except that in 1492 the European world knew the place we call India by the name Hindustan. So if the myth were true, he would have called the natives "Hindustanis" and the racial slurs in cowboy movies would be very different.

The senate in Rome in fact survived the fall of the Western Empire in 476 AD, and existed until at least 603AD, it ceased to exist later in the 600s though. This was revived in the 1100s under the medieval commune of Rome, and the title of Senator was preserved under the papal states as a sort of civilian officer well until the 19th century. In 395AD, a second senate was created (for Constantinople) that existed until the 1400s.
