The thing about European History is that it tends to leak out of Europe. Europeans haven't been great at staying put in Europe. As human beings do, the people of Europe were very busy traveling around to trade, to spread religion, and in a lot of cases to try and conquer other people. In the 15th and 16th centuries, Europeans developed a bunch of tools and techniques that would allow them to travel around the world, in numbers and force heretofore unseen on the planet. And a lot of the results weren't great for the people who already lived in the places Europeans were "visiting."

@VashdaCrash 5 лет назад

@@robrod7120 Well, Occam's Razor is applied when you're comparing two or more theories about a subject, and this quote refers to broad subjects like history or science. So you use Occam's razor to discard opposing and/or different theories, and then put them toghether to make a picture of something larger and complex-er like the history of europe in the age of exploration. To put it in other words, looking for the truth on the matter makes it more complex the more you investigate. I hope that answers your question.

An entertaining book about different cultural shock encountered by navigators/explorators, detailing several major events I never heard of. - Ecological Imperialism, The biological expansion of Europe 900-1900, Alfred W.

@Hawkster52 5 лет назад

It's nothing anyone who knows humanity or follows history isn't aware of but it's so damn sad that upon meeting new people the thought isn't how both groups of people can mutually benefit but quickly becomes how one side can thoroughly dominate the other side to the benefit of the dominator. Even today in our more "civilized" world, no matter the conflict be it war or trade one side always has to feel like they're "winning" over the other. And it's why we're so fascinated and worried about alien life. If we encounter a more advanced society we can only envision them behaving the same way we would at the discovery of a more primitive peoples.

The Portuguese hoped to form a strategy known as "Mare clausum" which as you all know today did not work out so well for the Portuguese. They wanted to control the South Atlantic as it was the only way to get into the Indian Ocean. Later the English and the French would contest that and create the rule that is now used to regulate the seas, "Mare Liberum".

@hyzhenhok 5 лет назад

They skipped that stuff because they match their videos to US Advanced Placement (AP) curriculum. AP European History is entirely focused on *modern* Europe, which as a historical category starts roughly around 1400. If you're familiar with the divisions in academic history you know modern European history is pretty much always treated as its own deal compared to medieval or antiquity history. And yes, don't worry, what we lose in breadth we gain in depth. As you can tell, this course will have way more detail than the World History series.

Portugal in that period was poor it is a traditional view. Braudel emphasizes that Portugal was not such a poor region in the late 15th century as has been depicted, nor completely was cut- off from the rest of Europe. Her economy was neither primitive no elementary. 1) The Mediterranean type of climate enabled her to produce variety of products like olil, cork, fruit, wax and honey, corn from outside. 2) The external trade helped in the development of navigational activities an promoted shipping interests.

@@leonzoful Just because that position was enforced by royal decree it doesn't mean it wasn't broken or even extensively perpetrated. Are you referring to the laws of Burgos? What is your position in terms of the establishment of the Encomienda in the New World? Do you agree with his position that the Portuguese and the Spaniards contributed in last scale to the decimation of native populations through the spread of diseases?

Guys, I sent a translation of this video in Portuguese so that others could see the video with tranquility, but you never accepted it, not that of the video of Marx, it is very sad to put time and effort to do a translation and not see it as an option for others to watch the video even with the job ready DONE.

I feel like it would be important to mention that Polynesians were the best navigators to ever exist. And their techniques transformed the exploration game forever.

Not a criticism, but these new ones seem entirely low energy in comparison to previous crash course world history. Kind of miss it but this is pretty chill too. 👍

We don't know if the Byzantine Emperor was beheaded or not, Constantine XI likely died a common soldier who was never identified. His last recorded words were, "the city is fallen and I am still alive" after which he led the final action of the Roman Army ever

9:32 There are mistakes here, first off, Cortés didn't land in Mayan lands, he landed in what became Veracruz, Mayan lands were further south. Also Moctezuma ruled over the Aztec empire which was not so vast (maybe around the size of Spain), his territory was contained to what is now central Mexico. You seem to have conflated the Aztecs and the Mayans together. The Mayan areas weren't unified in an empire at this stage and started in modern southern Mexico and stretched into central America (the 'to Honduras' you mention).

@martytu20 5 лет назад

Mick Mickymick considering the Aztecs have no draft animals for logistic support, the Aztec Empire was indeed vast considering the reliance on human labour.

@quetzalcoatl3242 5 лет назад

Yes, Cortés landed first on Maya land, read about it, he first landed on Mexican Caribbean and went further to west, in The mayan realm of Tabascoob (today Tabasco) he defeated such a Casicazgo in the battle of Centla and that’s how conquest started
