We can see that they were dominating the Mediterranean even during the 1300 with the Italian states and the kingdom of Aragon. They even send an small force of 6000 Spanish almogavares to fight against the Ottoman Turks in Anatolia under the command of Roger de flor. They absolutely bamboolezed the Ottoman Turks in every battle while being outnembered by the Turks. But sadly they got betrayed by the byzantines. The Iberians would continue on in humiliating the Ottoman Turks in many other areas. Completely dominating the Turks in the Indian ocean and the Mediterranean including the Atlantic. Indeed the Ottoman Turks were so scared of the fierce of the Iberian warriors that they had nightmares for centuries about them coming to their lands and taking their daughters such as in la jornada de Túnez 1535 and the battle of Lepanto 1571.

Spain couldn't even challenge Ottomans without a "Holy League" it took them another occasion at Lepanto to partially reverse the annihilations of Preveza and Djerba, prior to that Spain was getting humiliated by Barbarossa alone despite the support of various European nations like Portugal, Genoa & Venice, now when even an allied Spain didn't genuinely dominate the Ottomans in naval wars how could they do it one on one in full scale wars ?

Yeah. There are old (medieval) *churches* in Iberia with images and statuettes depicting various "positions" of sexual intercourse for the peasantry to learn from. Back then they were dead serious with the repopulation effort. I remember the time I'm discussing with my friend about current demographic crisis in East Asia (Japan & South Korea) and the world in general. He said that demographic decline is irreversible and Japan will lose like half of its current population by 2100. I said to him, while that might be true, the general trend itself is NOT actually irreversible. There are instances, including in medieval Spain, which a society was able to reinvigorate their population growth thru concerted effort (not to mention we have the technology to actually breed humans with "science" now). Something similar has been recorded elsewhere, including in China (the growth during Song Dynasty), India, and the Middle East. IIRC there is passage in the Bible about how the tribes of Israel repopulate Canaan (modern Israel, Palestine, and Trans-Jordan region).

Portugal does not have these problems because they do not directly border Morocco and migrants prefer to move to richer countries in Europe or stay in Spain.

The centuries-long occupation was aimed at perpetrating genocide and ethnic replacement against the Iberian natives by the occupying Arab colonizers.

it is worth mentioning that the shadow cast by British colonialism has often overshadowed the contributions of both Spain and Portugal. The British Empire's historical narrative has been dominant, emphasizing their own achievements while downplaying the accomplishments of other nations. This biased rewriting of history has unfortunately diminished the recognition that Portugal and Spain rightfully deserve. A great example would be the bias in Hollywood movies, particularly those about pirates and corsairs, often omits the significant contributions and roles played by Spain and Portugal during s.XVI-XVIII. Instead, the focus tends to be on English and French figures, perpetuating the notion that they were the primary players in maritime history.

@@ttuny1412 This is not true the, they did not force convert due to it being forbidden under Islamic law. The taxes were a lot less then whatever you are giving to your government today. Also it was only working able men, not women children or the elderly who got taxed.

Actually that's not entirely correct. Speaking about the period between 10th to 12th centuries the Muslims were actually the majority in the peninsula (numerically speaking). For example the cities of Sevilla, Granada and Cordoba, which were almost entirely muslim cities, they were among the biggest cities in all europe. Sevilla was for instance the biggest city in the continent.

It is politically incorrect to talk about Christians and Muslims since we are talking about colonizing occupiers and the anti-colonizing anti-imperialist resistance of Iberian natives, so it is politically correct to talk about occupiers and natives, occupation and resistance, colonization and liberation.

Spanish Christians were far from unified. The victory of Asturias was a bee sting the Ummayad behemoth. And many of the Christians that layer emerged, Leon, Castile, Navarre, Aragon, Portugal spent many centuries trying to outmanuever each other land disputes, saying, assassination, incitement of revellion, and somes even outright war. It wasn't till later they unified under a crusader banner. That didn’t stop them from appeasing or vassalixong Muslim lords and enlisting their soldiers among Christian tanks.

You're God damn right!!

The county of barcelona was more powerful than the kingdom of aragon ruled by petronila a 13 year old. Berenguer married her to effectively take control of Aragon and get the jure recognition,however in reality the catalan counties had been defacto independant for quite a while (they even had their own separate laws that were kept functioning in the principality of catalonia as a successor to what was a group of counties until the 17th century, in an equal relationship to the kingdom of aragon and the kingdom of valencia as part of the crown of aragon). This is a nomenclature issue more than real power or geopolitical relevance. The principality of monaco is independent without being a kingdom in the same way the catalan counties including the barcelona one were. An entity doesnt necessarily need to be a kingdom for a piece of land to be considered its own state. Catalonia itself might be incorrect at that time (although however in the crown of aragon the catalan counties were known as the principality or catalonia) but in a map it is easier to write that than specify all the different small counties that definition would need to include. Spanish nationalists always try to disregard catalan history all based in a pedophile relationship between Ramon Berenguer and Petronila of aragon, a 13 year old, a good, strong historic claim!

@@octavicolom4562 Yeah. So as i said, the ´´Kingdom of Catalonia´´ didnt exist as the video says. However, i agree with you, Barcelona being the center of power of the Crown is the reason why catalan became the court language of Aragon and the only one to expand, and not aragonese.

@@mateenundre1415ol Christianity went from being cornered to conquering an entire continent out of nowhere. It’s almost like God meant Christianity and the Spanish people to spread after the crusade of Granada. If He’s picking favorites, it’s not Turkey because the Balkans went on to spit out their language and culture.

​@@c.b.3883​ sounding quite bitter for a nation that did exactly the same things as those "toothless pirates" 😂😂 You aren't a victim because your country lost a war after mass genocide in the name of colonialism 😂

@@c.b.3883 "How can you love Spain when you stole our land of America." girl america stole its land from the indigenous ppls, whats the point ur trying to make lmao

@@c.b.3883 you discovered the Americas and enslayved it’s people and rayped them out of existence. Are we suppose to feel sorry for you, savages? You came off much better than you deserved.

​@@c.b.3883 Calm down, Spanish didn't explore all of America and it's not like you didn't get enough of it😂

this isnt the best history channel though. I recommend Kings and Generals and Jabzy. Its my impression that they do much better research and have a much broader and more nuanced historical understanding.
