    Courland (basically Latvia that was ruled by the small German elite and was subject to the P-L commonwealth) HAD COLONY ON TOBAGO from 1654 to 1659 and intermittently from 1660 to 1689.

    It's interesting to hear someone talk about, what is, commonly known to anyone living in trinidad. Awesome video.

    Liked and subbed at the point you called it "Toe BAY go" instead of "Toe BAG go". It shows you were respectful enough to actually research the pronunciation of the country's name. I applaud your thoroughness.

    "the Arawak population dwindled from contact with the Spanish" is such a weird way to say "the Spanish killed, infected with disease and worked the Arawaks to death". In real History and Anthropology writing these framing differences are very important, and used in propagandistic tellings, usually for apologia by the colonial interests themselves.

      You hit the mark. I found it strange that he talked about it like that. In primary and secondary school, they told us exactly what happened to the Tainos and Kalinagos. I hope he only did that because of youtube monetization, but I highly doubt that. It could probably be for the intentions that you've laid out here...

    Tobagonian Here, we often say Trinbago (Which is a combination of Trinidad & Tobago) and the reason for the Red House in Trinidad being red, from doing a bit of googling was to be in preparation to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria.

      They are the largest demographic in Trinidad, followed closely by those of African descent....Douglas (Mix of Indian & African) Chinese, French, English, Portuguese, Spanish, Syrian/Lebanese are some of the other groups here in smaller numbers.

    • @michaelregis1015
      @michaelregis1015 5 місяців тому +7

      The country has three main groups that make up the majority of the population: Indians; Africans; and Mixed people (typically someone of Afro descent mixed with something else, but other mixes exist in abundance).
