The History of Piracy - Summary on a Map 

Its nice you remembered the password after 2 months and casually returned to talk about pirates

Fun fact: Queen Elizabeth I was not only called "the Faerie Queene, Titania," but also a literal "Pirate Queen" because of her huge, private armada of pirates.

You can't imagine how happy i was when i saw new video from Geo History, you guys literally made my day, thank you.

Pretty thorough video. But you missed some pirates, and there is probably more: 1. The Jewish Pirates because of Spain's expulsion of the Jews. 2. The earlier Malacca Pirates of Indonesia before the Europeans arrived.. 3. The Haida First Nation "pirate tribe" of British Columbia that pillaged other natives from Alaska down to Acapulco in Mexico. 4. Pirates on the California coast during the 1850's looking for gold being shipped. 5. Pirates on the Pacific Spanish colony coast and later on the same coast during independence and after. 6. The Christian Pirates of Malta and Rhodes vs the Muslims.

Fun fact: Olivier Levasseur and the paper that he dropped that spoke of a hidden treasure that can be claimed by whomever finds it would be the inspiration for Gol D. Roger and pretty much the main plot of the anime, One Piece

Pirates then: skilled sailors who steal years worth of wages Pirates now : Haha, free game goes brrr

This was great, though I feel like the famous female Chinese pirate leader, Zheng Yi Sao (also known as Ching Shih) and her husand and his son’s story would have been a good addition to include. From Wikipedia: “As the unofficial commander of the Guangdong Pirate Confederation, her fleet was composed of 400 junks and between 40,000 and 60,000 pirates in 1805. Her ships entered into conflict with several major powers, such as the East India Company, the Portuguese Empire, and Qing China.”

My only disappointment is the failure to mention piracy in Malacca Strait during 10th-11th century conducted by Srivijya through hiring pirates/privateers.

All of pirate history: Coutries: hire pirates to attack enemy fleet. "Years later" Coutries: war is won, you can stop now. Pirates: No Coutries: surprised Pikachu face

13:57 "the buzzard" truly was on verge of starting the great pirate era.

Captain Kidd : “You Either Die A Hero, Or You Live Long Enough To See Yourself Become The Villain”

The world has truly entered a great pirate era!

Easily one of the best channels on RU-vid, great work

I like that you mentioned Irish piracy. We've had a surprisingly long history of the craft, all the way up into the golden age where a number of prominent pirates were of Irish descent.

14:30 was the inspiration behind Gol D. Roger last speech on One Piece

Hearing Geo History say the word “booty” is something none of us knew we needed.

Piracy was the main reason for the creation of " Flota de Indias" / " Fleet of the Indies" between America and Spain for almost 3:centuries it was created by the King of Spain and Emperor " Charles V " in 1.522 and it was great succes since when it was heavily scorted the atacks in the Ocean practically ceased there was also another that conected Mexico with the Phillipines and vice versa

I think it is quite funny that this video came out today. This whole semester I was learning about the history of the pirates and such.

I love how this chanel chose the best and most intersting topics

10:37 The Ganj-i-Sawai was carrying Muslim pilgrims returning from Hajj in Mecca & amongst the captives was reputed to be the grand-daughter of the then Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb. This incident of piracy enraged Aurangzeb so much that he had almost kicked out the British from India & launched a brutal campaign against their garrisons. Had he completely wiped out the British from India, history would have gone in a completely different way. In addition, I would like to say that pirates also operate in Sunderbans (divided between the Indian state of West Bengal & Bangladesh), capturing locals who venture into the forests to collect honey and catch fish & crabs for a living. This area with its criss-cross network of creeks & tidal rivers flowing through the largest mangrove forest in the world which also harbours Bengal tigers & gharials (Indian fish-eating crocodiles) with an international border through it has become a den of piracy, who also happen to operate a side-business of poaching animals.

Please post videos more often. I really find them interesting.

Whenever i see notification of your video, i left everything and starts to watch your vids, thanks alot man❤

Love your channel can't wait for the next video

A lot of real life situations have been reimagined into the One Piece anime. Pretty cool

Please make more videos more frequently! I really love your videos

I love your videos and this was a really good concept for a video

For anyone wondering: Assasin's Creed IV roughly begins at 12:28

You guys made my day! thanks

*@**4:19**:* If anyone is interested, the Algerian-French co-production *"La Dernière Reine" (2023)* depicts Barbarossa's siege of Algiers ... and through him, the Ottoman usurping of Algeria's last local polity for over three-and-a-half centuries to come. *Adila Bendimerad* plays the eponymous *"last queen" Zaphira* , while *Dali Benssalah* is *"Barbarossa".*

Wow dude. Amazing vid as always. Keep it up

Another lesser-known fact about the history of piracy is the role that piracy played in the development of international law. The 1856 Declaration of Paris, which established rules for the conduct of naval warfare, was partly inspired by the desire to combat piracy and protect legitimate trade.

Excellent video.

I'm from the really small city of Kalmar and everytime a RU-vid historian mentions the Kalmar Union it makes me warm and fuzzy on the inside. :)

I couldn't watch this video right now because I'm not home yet. But I couldn't wait to watch every new video that Geo History posted. You're truly my favorite educational channel.

I love this channel!

It's amazing how Portugal isn't almost mentioned when it was a major player

Also Your channel is one of my favourite ❤

Do what you want, ‘cause a pirate is free! YOU ARE A PIRATE!!!!

Amazing that so many places on earth were included in the video

Nice video it explains a lot of good information for a book i'd read, but you forgot to mention why the rum is gone.

Great video! Denmark-Norway fought a war against pirats from Algiria, known as the Danish-Algirian war, from 1769-1772.

15:29 I appreciate that you acknowledged that Egypt was not controlled by the Ottomans in 1799 but then recaptured due to napoleon

गहन शोध , स्पष्ट अवलोकन , प्रज्ञावान विश्लेषण , सुन्दर चित्रांकन और नाट्यांकन कुल मिलाकर बहुत सुन्दर प्रस्तुति।

Good history, like the time line.

Geo History, your videos taught me the best way to study history. I subscribed both your channel and the Japanese channel (ジオヒストリー), which I also participated the channel membership. I really appreciate it if you produce videos about languages and characters, education, terrorism, destruction and conservation of nature. (I actually felt incongruous about the Aral Sea in your video) From Japan with love.

Great work!!!! Please a video on Thirty Years' War (1618-1648)

You're a lot informative than before. I love it

With the rising prices of the streaming platforms, more and more people become a pirate! :P

I'm pretty sure GOda sensei advised this channel for this video

I'm so so happy to learn more about the Ottomans as I wrote a five page essay and a presentation about Turkey!

Piracy in the Persian Gulf got a brief mention, but should have been acknowledged as being one of the old sources of piracy for human civilization. Similarly, I think East Asian piracy should have gotten an earlier mention than the Wokou. Also could have mentioned that elimination of piracy in the Indian ocean was the main stated goal in at least one of Umayyad conquests in India.

Geo History: *releases a new video* Me: ARE YA READY KIDS?

The information is really easy to understand! I love it!

Hey Geo, greetings. About the video of the history of slavery, recently in the red sea there was found an object which was dated by archeologists about that time and it was like the chariot wheels of the chariots of that period. Which gives us a minor, but still evidence that the exodus might have actually happened.

Great book "The Lost Village" where that incident in Baltimore happened in west Cork

Byzantines also had a lot of trouble with Arabian pirates, mainly after the fall of the Umayyad Caliphate which left a lot of places in North Africa and some islands unruly

how do you make your maps/invasions?

During the period between Caesar and Pompey piracy in the Mediterranean it was pretty high raids of pirates after the fall the Greek Kingdoms of Alexander empire a lot of unstability Syria all the way down to Egypt think of it as the midwest at the time.

Your backkkk

How come is it not mentioned that Cervantes, the author of Don Quixote, was captured by Barbary pirates?

And here I thought this video was about illegal software distribution. I was pleasantly surprised. 😄

Man I am literally writing my MA thesis in piracy right now due in June, it feels creepy how this released just now haha

Overall a good video. I would however personally have preferred if some of the time currently spent on specific famous pirates instead had gone into the origins and nature of piracy in different regions, which currently is glossed over. There could for an example have been explained the causes behind the tradition of raiding among vikings and other peoples around the Baltic, which, along with the religious beliefs of the vikings, explaining more the nature of the Viking pillaging and trade, which could lead into better explaining why and how the tradition ended. Most notably is the exclusion of anything about river piracy. I only have limited knowledge of it, but I for example believe that there should have been widespread river piracy in china for at least part of history.

dude you should do an episode about the mongol empire’s rise and fall and everything in between I’d love it.

As someone who finished Assassins creeds : Black flag 8 times by now(that much i love the game) i love seeing history of pirates

2:40 I didn't know this.😊 3:45 Hmmm, Ottoman pirates. 4:20 Europeans privateers

Can you please do a Video on either the History of Australia or the Troubles of Northern Ireland or the pls?

Popular media regarding piracy in Asia is so few. Though it is so interesting l. As it involves so many nations.

Bravo 🎉

Hi bro make a video about the Altai language family please

At 17:40 when it says "The British kingdom could now rely on its' much more powerful steamships," what exactly made them so much more powerful than frigates and galleons, and in what way?

Pirates used to be a lot more common worldwide. A good rule of thumb to go by is if there’s unprotected trade routes there’s most likely pirates too. Honestly this could’ve been a 4hr video if you went into detail about ALL the pirates. But you just glanced them. It’s a pretty mid video. Basically just information read off from a Wikipedia article.

Nice

missed opportunity to play some sea shanties in the background

I love the consistently contextualised, put-in-perspective, concise and well researched presentation but I must express disappointment at the fact that there is not a single mention of Edward Kenway, his meeting with Captain Woodes Rogers or even his conspicuous assassination of Governor Torres...

Can you do a remaster of the indian video, it would really make my day, and btw. Lovely video

Damn Caesar. Imagine you bailed out and said “why am I so cheap!?”

Crazy to think that there are still pirates today

You missed a lot of pirates,for example the frisians and anglosaxons were practically like vikings raiding islands.

What’s application do you work it ?

Great history lesson of Europeans naval prowess

12:00, is Bahamas mention, the Republic of Pirates

love your videos! This one was really Eurocentric. Would have loved to hear more about Medieval Asia. Really so much history of this kind of thing there

great video, suscribed

You forgot about the "watergeuzen", basically a pirate army that was one of the reasons of the 80 years war and also one of the reasons the Dutch won their independence.

Is it possible to do dubbing ? In order to save yourself time to publish videos + so that we can hear the videos dubbed at the time of the video From Iraq

14:29 Bruh thats the one piece IRL.😂

Were not Zaporozhian Cossacks the same pirates? Sahaidachny for example or Ivan Sirko?

Please do history of the Wild West/Cowboys and maybe also history of the Mafia

Caesar🗿 the fact he redeemed himself and took a revenge is hilarious:)

Please can you do the story of Byzantium Empire

La Buse: the real life Gol D. Roger. Now who’s Luffy?

6:35 "and all of which, China is desperately short... Of."

I'm disappointed he didn't talk about pirate hub and torrent

i remember reading about the so called barbary pirates in algerian history they are called jihadists and i kinda agree with that like bro they were practicing their naval domination thing

THE DAY I [Been Waited For ]

The only pirates I know be like “arrgh, ye matey, walk the plank… why’s all the rum gone?”

This guy literally has the most beautiful voice on RU-vid

Can you do a ”History of Human/Animal Religious Sacrifice” video?

14:27 ONE PIECE
