Would love to hear about more Central American events. Keep up the good work. When obscure tragedies are exposed and talked out, it keeps the memories of those lost alive
7 years after the massacre of Santa Maria school, an anarchist whose brother was killed during that event, avenged him and all the victims in the massacre. He waited outside the house of Roberto Silva Renard, the general who ordered it, and stabbed him seven times. The injuries led to Roberto's death a few years later.
Brazilian here, I have a few things to add: - The Carandiru Massacre, the most deadly prison massacre in the 20th century - Any 70s dictatorship account - The War of Canudos, when the Brazilian army killed 25000 people because they didn't support the monarchy and we're trying to live independently from the government - Suzano and Realengo School Shootings - Argentinian and Brazilian relations with Nazis and fascists in the 30s and 40s - 2014 lynching spree, also known as the Justiceiros - The Maniac of the Park - Eloá Cristina, a young lady who spent 15 days being held captive by an ex boyfriend the media and police surrounded her apartment, without interfering.
@@antonioalexander1 there's a bunch of fed up s in bostil dude, theres a dude that set fire to children in a pre school in minas gerais, some kid did a school "shooting" with a katana in santa catarina, there's the Daniel Petry case (very graphic, unbelivable that the killer is already out, having served only 7 years and brags about the killing).There's a bunch of prison riots too where they mutilate a bunch of people, there's a left wing group called MST (Movimento dos sem terra) that invade private properties and lands, some kill the animals and the owners (there's a video online of them mutilating live cattle in front of the proprietor) Bolsonaro got stabbed when he was running for the presidency and people cheered, just recently an ex convict got elected for the presidency lol, it's a s show out there.
Just a correction, it was already the Republican government that did the massacre in Canudos. Canudos leadership actually favored the old empire, because of how awful the oligarchs in power during the Old Republican period treated the poor and marginalized. Anyway, f-ed up regardless The Empire did it’s fair share of brutality, like the Triple Alliance War shown in the video proves, but early republican period was wild. On a sidenote, check out the History of Cangaço - The folk bandits of Brazil’s northeast region in the early XX century. They were popular figures like Billy The Kid and Jesse James in the US. The most famous was Lampião. The impact on our popular culture cannot be understated.
To add a little more to the El Requerimiento entry, though the Spanish were supposed to read it to Native Americans, often times they would simply shout it to the coastline from their ships regardless of whether there was anybody else present. Also, when it was read out to Native Americans face to face, it was read out in Latin so, of course, none of them understood a word that was being said to them. It was entirely a form of self-justification for the Spanish to excuse their actions in the Americas.
My parents witnessed the Ixil genocide, They werent Mayans but they kew alot of people that were Ixil mayans. The army was extemely brutal, they took things straight out of the Vietnam war playbook. I wonder who they learned it from...
I believe the US- Bolivia Nazi connections refers to the fact that many Nazis gained high positions in the US backed fascist Bolivian government in the post war years
I feel highly sad to know that tribes of people been wiped out, the most generous and basic people, that are humble in spirit. They don’t teach you about this in schools in Latin america
I'm surprised the Carandiru Massacre wasn't mentioned in the iceberg. It is pretty much the first thing that comes to mind when I think of massacres and atrocities here in Brazil. Good video, by the way. You explained everything very well.
The Palo Mayombe sacrifices might refer to the cult dubbed "Narco Satanicos" which was a drug cartel/cult that operated in Matamoros, México during the 80s and who would do human sacrifices for success and money. Media labeled their rituals as "satanic" but they were actually practitioners of Palo-Mayombe. I live very close to Matamoros so that's local history to me, I've even drove past by Constanzo's (their leader) house a few times.
There's is quite a bittersweet ending on Charrúas, as the end of 1989 dictatorships, there are lotta Uruguayans and Brazilians identified themselves as Charrúas, but they're not purely from the tribe of course.
thank yoi for handling the subject matter gracefully. a lot of our issues tend to be overshadowed and seen as cowardly and not serious so i appreciate you being respectful and taking these events seriously
I believe you should try something a little bit more especific in the next video, like the exelent Mexico, Brazil or Argentina icebergs. By the way, great video, looking foward for the next one :)
Lesss gooo, I'm an indigenous Oaxacan which according to my parents were discriminated against in Mexico for being rural hicks, I'm paraphrasing. From what I know people from our area are closer to Guatemalans than Mexicans from DC or the north, but knowing how prejudiced people can be I don't know if Guatemalans like us and even my parents aren't entirely friendly to them.
Me through most of the video: "Wow there's a lot of bad things here. Thankfully as a Salvadoran there doesn't seem to be anything bad from us!" Literally at the last entry: "God damn it"
Adding to the Paraguay War, we celebrate Children's Day on August 16th bc that day was the Battle of Acosta Ñu, which involved kids as young as 12 dressing up as soldiers, painting moustaches on their faces to look older, using oversized uniforms and going to battle against the brazilian army. It was 20.000 brazilian soldiers vs 4.000 paraguayan ones. After the battle, where 2000 paraguayans lost their lives, Count d'Eu (Brazil's commander) ordered his army to burn the rest of the battlefield, where not even the final survivors could escape, involving innocent bystanders as well, and raising the casualties to 3300. Out of all of the battles, this is the one most Paraguayans keep in mind when talking about the war.
Good enjoyable video bro. I’m surprised there wasn’t any mentions of the oss/cia involvement in the whole region but definitely something I’d suggest following up on
Great video, you did your best talking about this iceberg and as a latino I respect it. Sadly the dude who did the iceberg didn't include an important thing: the Plan Cóndor or just the Latin American dictatorships. Horrible events happened during those days that needs to be added, for example in Argentina because of that we have an event called "The Night of the Pencils (La Noche de los Lápices)" were the militar force kidnapped and tortured six students for months only because alongside other students (these six teenagers were the creators of the idea) started manifestations in the streets so they could have free public transport tickets, only one of them survived and he's still alive in these days. Latin American dictatorships needs to be a principal topic in these kind of videos, not only in United States icebergs (I saw some where they included the Plan Cóndor).
hello! just discovered your channel some days ago with your amazing disturbing book iceberg! you always do such an admirable job in all your videos, i wish the best both for you and your channel! i also would like to tell some other cases from brazil, where i am from. some are more well know then others, all equally upseting: - i have seen some comments about the carandiru massacre but i would like to add the candelária and vigário geral massacres, both from 1993 in rio de janeiro. thankfully the number of victmis is not that big (8 and 21 respectively) but the nature and brutality in these crimes is deeply disturbing. the first being against homeless children, the second against a poor community (favela), the police being behind both of them. the candelária massacre had its 30th anniversary in the 23th of july this year; - the colônia de barbacena hospital was know as a "psychiatrict hospital" in minas gerais but in fact was an institution where mentally or physically disabled, poor or "not desirable" people were thrown at and keept under horrible conditions. today, we call this the "brazilian holocaust"; - there are a lot of cases that fall under the military dictatorship account but there are two very famous for their chilling similarities: the cases of araceli and ana lídia, two little girls who were abused, tortured and killed, both in 1973. those responsible of the abuse and death of these two children (please note that they happened in different states in different months so the men responsible for the crimes were not the same) were powerful men who had connections with the military so these girls never got any justice, the culprits never paid for their crimes. may 18th, the day that araceli died, is now the national day against child abuse and sexual exploitation. a lot of cases from the dictatorship were never solved or had its culprits in jail, which also occurs for a lot of femicide (either from that period or recent cases). best wishes from brazil!
Growing up my dad and aunts told me all about the shit they caused, most notably the public bombings. I'm gonna be talking about em again in an upcoming iceberg
Worthy of note is that there was another terrorist bombing in Argentina, just two years before the AMIA. It targetted the Israeli embassy in Buenos Aires and had a very similar MO, killing 22 people and leaving over 200 injured, allegeadly carried out by Hezbollah (which may explain one of the points in Tier 3).
Due to my father's job I was conceived and was born in latin America. But I came back to middle east when I was one and I've always wondered how my life would've turn out if I stayed in the country I was born. After the explanation of this iceberg (I don't wanna say that the situation in middle east is any better) I would for sure turn out dead.
Quite impressed that Panama was mentioned 3 times here. But then again, we had like 2 dictatorships and almost became part of USA bc of the canal so it figures. If you do a second one of these from Panama the most notable that we have is The Martyrs of January 9 and la invasion that is kind of still fresh in the memory of the country, my mom is 45 and she remembers it happening. I’m 23 and my HS history teacher told us the story of how she had a family member that worked in the government when this happened and how hours before the tanks started to roll into the streets the family member called all of them and told them to leave the city as soon as possible because the military was going to strike.
Remember kids, success is never achieved in South America, Central America or the Caribbean, if you have a no-risk opportunity to leave your country just take it
Please make a similar format video for Post-colonial Africa. Botswana aside every single country spiraled into mass repression, segregation or civil war and hardly anyone knows about any of it.
Wait… Paul Schaffer?? Like the guy who used to be on letterman as the music guy? Obviously it’s a different one but that sucks he shared the same name with such a horrible person 💀
Would love to hear about more Central American events. Keep up the good work. When obscure tragedies are exposed and talked out, it keeps the memories of those lost alive
Yeah that was a big motivation for the video, glad you enjoyed! If I find some more charts and topics I'll make more videos

Well its a happy ending at least

As a fellow latin American, I can definitely attest this is one of the icebergs
for sure
It’s nice seeing Latin American events getting some recognition. Great vid my guy
Glad you enjoyed
Brazilian here, I have a few things to add:

- The War of Canudos, when the Brazilian army killed 25000 people because they didn't support the monarchy and we're trying to live independently from the government

- 2014 lynching spree, also known as the Justiceiros
- The Maniac of the Park
- Eloá Cristina, a young lady who spent 15 days being held captive by an ex boyfriend the media and police surrounded her apartment, without interfering.
Thank you, Ill look into these!

Im planning quite a few more historical events ones to release throughout the year. Ill look into it!
I really fw this channel, it seems like you actually research your shit which is a whole lot more than most other iceberg channels
Thank you for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed!
Craziest stories I've ever heard are usually from there. Good vid
HOW DOES SUCH AN EFFORT VIDEO HAVE SO LESS VIEWS
I hope you enjoyed!!
This is the most interesting and unique iceberg I've hear in a while

I haven't seen many icebergs abt this in english, tysm for sharing the hidden parts of our history, greetings from mexico
Fun fact: Tribilin is the name that the Walt Disney's character "Goofy" had in South America
Me through most of the video:
"Wow there's a lot of bad things here. Thankfully as a Salvadoran there doesn't seem to be anything bad from us!"

I recently found your channel and your videos are so good! You definitely deserve more subs!
Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

I could make a whole hour long iceberg on that topic alone
@@antonioalexander1 hell yes I’m here for it 🙏🏽🙌
El Mozote was another masacre that happened in El Salvador similar to La Matanza

I'm surprised that operation condor and the archives of terror weren't included, they're like, the most well known disturbing latin american events
Excellent video my dude, cheers from Brazil!
Glad you enjoyed!
hello! just discovered your channel some days ago with your amazing disturbing book iceberg! you always do such an admirable job in all your videos, i wish the best both for you and your channel!

Thank you for bringing up Sendero Luminoso, the pain they brought to Peru always seem to be forgotten or looked over by the west unfortunately
Growing up my dad and aunts told me all about the shit they caused, most notably the public bombings. I'm gonna be talking about em again in an upcoming iceberg

As a Latin American I'm kind of scared about this iceberg...
Especially because my country hasn't done exactly well...
Banana Republic :(
I could tell you put a lot of effort to pronounce all of the spanish and portuguese words correctly! that’s really cool
Due to my father's job I was conceived and was born in latin America. But I came back to middle east when I was one and I've always wondered how my life would've turn out if I stayed in the country I was born. After the explanation of this iceberg (I don't wanna say that the situation in middle east is any better) I would for sure turn out dead.
I need a pt 2
Itll be a long process but research is slowly coming along!
Very informative!
Thank you!
Great and interesting video! I have nothing bad or critical for you my man. Or in Germany we say: Sauber! Best wishes for you!
Ja Dankeschön das freut mich!
Good video my man
I do hope you cover an iceberg on some other place in the world
Me too, World History is one of my many passions
AMAZING VIDEO
You should make a part 2 there is so much on Latin America
Quite impressed that Panama was mentioned 3 times here. But then again, we had like 2 dictatorships and almost became part of USA bc of the canal so it figures.

If i get around to more history icebergs ill be sure to remember
bro ty for talking about like stuff like this
its interesting to learn about like the zodiac killer or mothman but MY PPL FINALLY WIN
crazy thing is that School of the Americas lives on to this day, just renamed to WHINSEC in 2001
As a salvadoran, this video needs more recognition
for me the most disturbing case here is "The mozote massacre"
Half of my family is from Latin America and they've never talked about these events. Honestly I can understand why...
As a Venezuelan, there definitely should’ve been more Venezuelan entries. If you know, you know.
An alternate title could be “How the US F*cked Up Latin America”…
Forgot that the U.S. made the savages sacrifice humans before the U.S. even existed.
@@caesar2185 You know they did that stuff in Europe too, you know? Common in pagan religions.
11:58 that's just voodoo it's also the main religion of Haiti, in Jamaica is called obeah
Remember kids, success is never achieved in South America, Central America or the Caribbean, if you have a no-risk opportunity to leave your country just take it
At the end of ww2 a lot of Nazis fled to south America to avoid prosecution so say Hitler did too
It's kinda depressing hearing about all the Ecuador stuff, we still are in shambles but are trying to make it forwards
would definetly like to see swedish events or history as a iceberg unfortunatly there dont seem to be many icebergs about sweden.
Please make a similar format video for Post-colonial Africa. Botswana aside every single country spiraled into mass repression, segregation or civil war and hardly anyone knows about any of it.
As someone who is going to Mexico soon, I don't think I should've watched this...
Really interesting video.
Thank you
Been recently learning more Latin American history
I knew a Latin Iceberg was going to be off the hook,them other countries don't play
What Spider-Man game is that and is it available for Xbox One?
Spider Man Miles Morales and yes it is
I'm venezuelan, so i will propose "El caracazo" and the massacre of Puente Llaguno. Also the tragedy of Vargas can be included here.
When I get around to a part 2, I'll look into it! Thank you for the suggestions and shedding light on under talked about issues
6:06 Sendero Luminoso... MRTA was much more than that
Funnily enough, there is an episode of criminal minds about a follower of palo mayombe that killed people.
9:30 hezbollah did not try to assassinate Bolsonaro. I'm not sure where you got that from.
Interesting video but background gameplay could be better quality (bitrate) and is also a bit distracting
Thank you I will work on it!
So so much violence in Latin America
Goddamn the world is terrifying
i think the jonestown massacre should be there
how is there not a SINGLE mention of pinochet on this shit?
Wait… Paul Schaffer?? Like the guy who used to be on letterman as the music guy? Obviously it’s a different one but that sucks he shared the same name with such a horrible person 💀
