    The Aztec collapse was also internal. Its people that it conquered were unloyal and constantly rebelled, and the Aztec economy was based on taking over more land for more resources since it wasn't self-sufficient. Once it took over new land, it created more unloyal subjects that rebelled even more, and this cycle would eventually destroy the Aztecs even if the Spanish never attacked.

      I don't think most folks realize that's how pretty much every economy worked before free market capitalism. Trade wars were likewise a giant trigger for war because the war for resources was being fought out in trade, too. As much as folks want to destroy capitalism, they have yet to propose any kind of system that profits, which will mean a return to warring for resources.

      The Aztecs didn't have a culture and only consisted of a small warrior class which was in power for a small amount of time in a small area. Mayan civilization existed for thousands of years up until today in some rural areas, and built everything the Aztecs claimed.

    • @rogerhennie8939
      @rogerhennie8939 2 роки тому +6

    • @Jens_Heika
      @Jens_Heika Рік тому +5

      Denmark didn't rule Sweden, they were in a voluntary union with Denmark, but they could leave, and did leave. The same was true of Norway, they could have left the union with Denmark if they wanted to, but they didn't. Unfortunately Denmark-Norway sided with Napoleon during the Napoleonic wars, and Norway was ceded to Sweden afterwards (something Norway did not recognize, so Sweden invaded).
      Although, if you mean that Denmark ruled part of Sweden, then there is evidence of that, but not the whole of Sweden, and certainly not the whole of Modern Sweden.
      As for Estonia, apparently they did, learned something new. Although, it was only for a very short period of time. Denmark also controlled parts of Pomerania, and the northern most parts of Modern Germany.
      England was nearly controlled by Norse, and Danes several times, although, the North Sea Empire was the only time they actually succeeded. Still, they did rule England.
      As somebody else pointed out, the reason Denmark had/has Iceland, Greenland and the Faroe Isles was because they got to keep them when Norway was seceded to Sweden after Napoleon's defeat.

      Norway got it's first proper road in the 1630s. It was discovered silver in Kongsberg, and the Danish king needed to transport the silver from the mine, to Copenhagen. So they could build more castles in Denmark. (Norway has no castles from that periode).That 's how the 'union' worked. And most of the people with power in Norway was danes put there by the king in Copenhagen. In Norway the periode is called the 400 years long night.

With the Dutch controlling the Hudson River area, the Swedes simply went south, to the next major inlet (the Delaware River), sailed up it and founded their colony. Something like 30 years later this colony ended up surrendering to the British, who went on to found New Jersey. Later came Billy Penn and Pennsylvania in 1681. The Swedes didn't leave. Today, Swedesboro is in the vicinity, south Jersey across from Philadelphia. Swedish arrivals didn't stop. It remained a favorite area for inbound Swedes.

У горе-историков по этому поводу разыгралась буйная фантазия, их вовсе не смущало что столицей вилаета, т.е. провинции, был город Булгар. Естественно никто себя болгарами не считал, точно также как жители "Московского княжества" не считали себя некой нацией "московитов", в существование которой верят свидомые украинцы. Татарами ранее назывались все тюркоязычные народы от Кавказа до Алтая. Самоназвание болгар сохранилось у балкарцев и у жителей современной Болгарии.

    Great video. One correction on the Zulu Kingdom's fall. While Isandlwana was the Zulu's most famous victory over the Brits - indeed it is the worst single defeat in Modern British history - they were actually very successful against the English for about a year to 18 months and scored a number of victories against the British due to poor leadership and a failure to understand Zulu tactics.
    Some historians even argue that the Brits were only really able to win by attrition - a strategy they'd employ again during the Anglo-Boer, Anglo-Pedi, and South African (Anglo-Boer II) wars.

    The Aztecs were already declining when the Spaniards arrive. Their whole expansion was in jeopardy because they needed more land to pay their ever growing army

    You definitely need to learn more about Precolumbian Mesoamerica. There is so much incredible history there that is as complex and fascinating as any in Europe. The Aztecs arose from these empires, some as complex and as monumental as Ancient Egypt at the same times as those entities existed. I really enjoyed this video.

    The map shown at 17:05 is really interesting but, even on full screen mode on my desktop, I can't read some of the smaller details. Is there a location online I may better view it? Thank you!

    An interesting observation regarding the map at 10:50.
    There is a city on crimea named cherson which is not todays Kherson (that one is more to the north-west) but Sevastopol.
    I wondered if there is a connection and did quick a research.
    Mondern day Kherson is actual named in reference to the old Cherson during a settlement project by Empress Catherine II.

    In Italy during the unification(1859-1861), six countries disappeared:
    - Papal States
    - Kingdom of Lombardy-Venetian
    - Duchy of Parma
    - Duchy of Modena
    - Granduchy of Tuscany
    - Kingdom of the Two Sicilies
    The Kingdom of Sardinia Turned into the Kingdom of Italy (1861-1946).

    Also, I think that a branch of Trapezuntian Empire was a state referred as Torul principality (in the region of Pontus south of Trebizond) . It was conquered by the Ottomans in 1479- four years after the principality of Theodoro- but unfortunately very little things are known about this state.

    I think you would have trouble making a video of all destroyed kingdoms because there have been soooo many during the history of man. Maybe you should make the videos based on continent.
    In my country of Indonesia alone, there are a tens of kingdoms that no longer exist, including the most pominent ones like Sriwijaya and Majapahit before the the Dutch ruled.
    But anyway, very informative. Keep it up!

    Thanks for your great videos. I've watched a few and there is Just a thing about the sound. You can use a anti pop filter before your microphone to avoid the plosive sounds (the amount of air caused by the P and the B). This will increase the quality of your stuff and make it more pleasant to listen to.

    The Aztec Empire was actually more in line with a Spartan hegemony than that of an actual empire. The conquered tribes were largely hostages to the Aztec and not actually aztec themselves.

    • @SombreroGato
      @SombreroGato Рік тому

      Aztecs were not even ethnic meso-americans, they were southwest Pima/Comanche/hopi ethnic genetic stock Indians who fled south after the collapse of an older empire due to climate change/water shortages. So they were seen as foriegn conquerors by the native tribes mostly Nahuatl speaking.

      Don't call them Indians just because that one guy Columbus did. Indians are from South Asia.
