I’m so sick of revisionist propaganda and I’m honestly, just tired of people telling me I can’t love my country because we’re European, therefore evil. I’m sick of the hypocrisy and the obsession these people have towards Europeans as a whole. Like just live your life and be happy with this culture you got. 😅

But you put yourself in that situation when you start saying we're all European remarks. For example, Someone has a problem with England and now it's you that they have a problem with too?

Anything for his American/NATO overlords. My comment has nothing to do with that. Yeah, we’re all European, but the whole point of that is that we should NOT act and think like Americans. Also, the main point of my comment was the fact that I don’t support woke bs when you have foreign invaders like the ottoman Turks, mongols, Arabs, etc who colonized Europe, yet fragile self hating white Americans and Western Europeans, along with non white Americans, want to blame everything on Europe and white people. We should unite against this anti European mentality that’s honestly just racist. I’m not supporting any wars. The war in Ukraine wouldn’t even be a thing, if it weren’t for fragile Americans and Western Europeans interfering.

As an African/Ethiopian, we never buy into this victim mindset our fellow Africans seems to love, but damn i didnt know the victim agenda goes this deep.
As a Malawian I look at this subjectively You cannot lie, colonisation has had a significant impact on the continent but I also can't say it's the source of all our problems (I can personally attest to that 😅) Yes there are a lot of people playing the victim but you must also recognise and not rule out the actual victims because they still exist and are affected to this day.
Just last year you guys were screaming No More, especially when USA and EU started to sanction your government, there were no group that was victimized like the Ethiopians especially in the middle east, 500000 Ethiopians were locked in Saudi Arabia because of conflict between Ethiopia and Egypt with the Nile dam
@@КрисДосс Ethiopia also has 10x lower GDP than say SA or Botswana and half the literacy. There were upsides to colonisation to go along with the downsides. Literacy leads to legal stability. Legal stability allows for foreign investment as the investor has a better chance of getting return of investment. Colonisers brought this in as a package and despite the fact that the goal was often nothing more than exploitation the residual benefits built up after years and decades passed and the foreign influence invested more and more in the exploitation infrastructure (railways for faster extraction, schools for a more educated workforce). Despite the negative situation, over the long term the benefits outweighed the injustices.
@@КрисДосс Ethiopia was under Italian occupation before and during WW2 for 5-6 years after the 2nd Italo-Ethiopian war in 1936-37 which Italy won. Italy also took British somaliland and Abyssinia and already owned Eritrea and somalia(Libya too, but that's far north). After the 5-6 years of Italian occupation the Ethiopians finally started to make major resistance and won their first victory in struggle to start regaining independence, however fighting continued for a long time with Italian soldiers not giving up. Only some certain parts of Ethiopia were not under complete control of Italy during the 5-6 years of occupation. Italy got this control by resorting to gas and chemical weapons attacks on soldiers after it was banned in the end of WW1, but even that did not work, so Italy used gas and chemical weapons on the civillians, then Italy finally had controll over much or Ethiopia. So yes, Ethiopia was colonized for half decade. Just not multiple decades long like much the rest of Africa. Ignoring the fact Ethiopia was colonized ignores the war crimes and crimes against humanity Italy committed on Ethiopia, just because there was some parts they didn't fully control and it wasn't for half a century they had them colonized does not mean it did not happen. It is time to acknowledge this so Italy can be forced to pay reparations to Ethiopia, maybe Italy can help build infrastructure for electricity and give money so Ethiopia doesn't have to dam up the Nile river so much and hurt Egypt as much as they originally/currently plan to. It is time for Italy to pay reparations to Ethiopia and help them for some sort of reconciliation. It is time for people to stop ignoring the war crimes and crimes against humanity Italy committed during the colonization of Ethiopia.
As a Nigerian, my opinion on colonialism will be more nuanced than that of most westerners. On one hand, it was brutal in some ways but on the other it did play a huge role in bringing much of Africa into the modern age via introduction of modern tech, medicine, western education, and nation building. My country literally wouldn't exist without the British. For all the issues we face, most of us wouldn't ever dream of not having a country of our own. Also, one major good it did was abolish slavery. I cannot be more thankful for the British using their naval power and economic might to suppress the slave trade in Africa. Oh, I know they partook in it for a time, themselves, but it existed here long before whites ever came to Africa. Even my own ancestors of the Edo kingdom were slavers. What makes the British different is that unlike other regional African and Arab powers, they had the cultural & religious framework, wisdom, humanity and courage to actually stop the evil of slavery even at huge cost to their economy.
This was the real talent of Britishers... they changed their policy time to time... they had done everything which was needed to keep their industries alive...if i see the map of Africa the boundaries of countries are drawn with the help of scale and protectors in British and French drawing rooms... they must have given you Nigeria but at the cost of Africa

@@italo8995you're mixing a few different things to make a weak argument. Since you started with Native American it's likely you're focusing on America as "the West" when in reality the west is pretty much everything to the left of Turkey. If you're trying to work this American slanted agenda you're going to run into trouble. A good example: "making millions of people slaves". No. Americans didn't "make" slaves. They bought them from African slavers. There are ledgers, cargo manifests and receipts. No Carolinian plantation owner hopped on a boat to go hunt people in a jungle. And the Natives? You know the Indian territories were often purchased. I think it was the Cherokee that got the biggest payout. They got more than France did for the Louisiana purchase.

Having personally never been enslaved (though I have a Slavic heritage) and having never enslaved anyone, I'm not waiting for any apology and I'm not apologizing to anyone.
I am Swiss. Didn't have slaves since the early middle ages. Never had any colonies. In recent years there have been voices that we should pay reparation for the transatlantic slave trade. The reasoning behind it. We had investments and trade relations with the countries and companies that were associated with slavery. Meaning we owe part of our wealth to the slave trade. On the other hand. You barely hear about anything from the Arab and African nations that hunted down people, enslaved them and sold them off. Having to pay reparation. If at all. It's almost like those "Reparationists" care less about justice but more about the cash. As there is more to get from those Western countries than the Arab and African Nations. In fact. The african nations even demand reparations themself for the slave trade. Even though it was them that sold them off. The only reason they stopped doing the is because the Colonial powers forcdem them with threats of violence.
@@Teufer2 Even Swiss who never ever ruled any slave business in Africa are supposed to be guilty because of trade exchange with colonial powers. This doesn't make any sense. This is all about anti European racism and begging money.
@@lambertlambert7076 There are already so called "colonial Tours" through Zürich. Were you pay a guide to show you the "colonial past" of the city. Basically show you a statue of important figures.

They really try to rub it in here. But again. Just because we traded with colonial powers we are guilty of colonialism as well? You know who traded with them as well? EVERYONE did! Those were Global Empires! They had trade relations from South American Headhunters to Japanese Feudal Lords. Foreign Cotton Imports was crucial for the industralisation of Switzerland AND Japan. You don't hear anyone demand reparation from Japan. And again. Who SOLD the slaves again? Everyone has to pay reparations for the trans atlantic slavery. Except the ones who were the first in the line of supply.
I really liked the map of French colonialism in north America. My family are from the CPN band of Potawatomi American Indians. At the first contact with the French Around 1615 my band had almost been completely exterminated by the Iroquoi American Indian nation. Only about 2000 of us had survived the war with the Iroquoi, mostly women, children, and old people. The French explorers married our widows, became fathers to our orphaned children, and saved our people from the Iroquoi invaders. Today there are more than 16,000 of us. Thank God the French colonized us! If they had not arrived we would have been wiped out by Iroquoi bent on genocide.
Then why aren't you shocked when at 3:34 he talks about the French being less interested in their american's land because of "Hostiles Natives" ? (And it's a true question not a provocative one): France has been the most helpfull and peacefull of the europeans the native americans met. I find it quite sad that HistoryLegends try to defend the French colonial past while spreading the idea that native americans were to be put in the same hostile box than british settlers to them. Your story is anyway heartwarming and beautyfully shows how History isn't manichean. France has oppressed and fought many peoples through its history, but helped or even saved many others in the same time.

@@117Ender The argument that all empires in the past engaged in similar behavior as the British or French Empire is not a valid excuse to avoid criticism. Just because other empires have committed similar acts, it does not mean that these acts were morally justifiable. Moreover, each empire has its own unique history and circumstances, and the actions of one cannot be used to justify the actions of another. The British and French Empire, in particular, was responsible for numerous atrocities and injustices, such as the exploitation and oppression of indigenous peoples, forced colonization, and the imposition of unequal economic and political systems. e.g chattel slavery, the genocide of many peoples like Tasmina, Sétif and Guelma massacre etc. it is important to critically examine the actions of historical empires to learn from past mistakes and prevent similar injustices from occurring in the future.
@@117Ender "as a colony, and was a major producer of sugar/coffee, etc, that ppl invested, tensions got high, war broke out" why did tension break out? Slavery of course in Haiti was particularly brutal and oppressive due to a combination of factors, including the extreme brutality of French plantation owners, the large number of enslaved people in the colony, and the harsh living conditions on the plantations. The French colonial was based on the production of cash crops, particularly sugar, which required large numbers of enslaved laborers to cultivate and harvest. The plantation owners were known for their cruelty and exploitation of the enslaved people, who were forced to work long hours in difficult and dangerous conditions with little food or rest. He fails to mention this but no its probably "woke" history. ""haiti invaded and held contol of DR for decades, and got some of that indentured servitude that literally everyone else was doing? """" That's a tricky one but there needs to be context involved. Haiti's occupation was oppressive, with Haitian soldiers committing atrocities against the Dominican population. But others argue that the Haitian occupation brought about important social and economic reforms,.Ie such as the abolition of slavery and the establishment of a public education system. (this is debated though) Comparing the Haitian occupation to France is stupid as one was clearly worse than the other. France's colonization of Haiti was marked by extreme violence, exploitation, and slavery, whereas the Haitian occupation of the Dominican Republic was not based on the same system of oppression.
As a Dominican, thanks a lot man! You have no idea how tired us Dominicans are of these woke people painting Haiti as a Saint, changing the history and painting it as a good guy that came to free us from “big bad evil whitey” and calling us “racists” for celebrating our independence from them and for telling the history how it happened.
Oh no black people who were subject to terrible conditions for over 200 years decided to kill the light skins and whites that have been above them prior to those attacks. Lmao you guys have zero context in any of these situations none of this paints them as “saints” but it was a consequence of colonial slavery.

I felt like woke is just a simple person's term to explain how they have some little wisdom. Just like simple people use the matrix as an example because it's just too complicated to believe that corporate entities are not people and are based on profits without your best interest. In that context neo dodging magic bullets in a digital world is more believable.
From the period that “woke” appeared on the scene and gained traction in the public consciousness back around 2013/14, it was always the corporatist agenda. Intersectional ideology has been installed from the top down. Videos like this one are dealing with documentaries produced by think tanks and academics that are funded by corporate coffers and oligarch trusts like Open Societies Foundation or Bill And Melinda Gates Foundation. The irony of “woke” is that acolytes are blind to reality. “Woke” appeals to the worst impulses of weak people because it provides them the auspices to abuse, loot and berate people simply based on their ethnicity or skin color. It’s attempting to establish the basis for an authoritarian government that can violate property rights on a whim by making native populations in these target nations guilty of crimes that they must be punished for with punitive damages extracted by the government. It’s constructed on half-truths and massive historical omissions. The context for these narratives is a carefully constructed lie that is blasted and repeated over and over through these corporate sponsored or institutional platforms in order to maintain a pervasive presence in the public consciousness. It relies on ignorance and miseducation in the public. Videos like this one debunking the narratives are left up to random common people who care to reveal the truth. Free people cannot govern themselves without the truth.
There is nothing more pathetic for a country to beg for an apology because if we go back in it's history you will find that they have their share of "horrible things "
@@jerdyimperialthe Swiss at one time were the most competent and ruthless mercenaries in Europe. Before that they defended themselves multiple times in a most brutal and ruthless manner

Fun fact with the british "jalaeousy" American wanted to bring the metric system from France (which just invented it with Napoleon) and English corsairs attaked the ship with the weight used . It isn't really known if is was the primary objective to stop the spread of this french idea (U.K used imperial system at the time). So we can say that the U.K is the reason why U.S.A didn't use the metric system now (and now they mock them to not use it)
The Imperial system is vastly superior to the metric system because it encodes many geometrical relationships within the Solar System. Or in other words the Solar System was built using Imperial Units. A mind boggling fun fact.

@@tayloryoung9803though a bit late to the discussion, he was so rich he built libraries and mosques ALONG the way to his Pilgrimage. He literally inflated local economies in Egypt which took 20 years to recover. He created intricate architecture and improved education that Timbuktu was the biggest and most advanced city in the whole of Africa and Europe. Mansa Musa was so popular that the world atlas at the time (created by Europeans) included a drawing on him that encompassed 1/4 of the known map of Africa. Sadly, the Empire fell to other African tribes, and the Africans pillaging of Timbuktu was so bad that it couldn't recover from this since the African Tribes enslaved many of the African Mali people without giving them time to rebuild. (I would also like to rant, like Europe didn't invent slavery, and African Tribes enslaving African Tribes were more common than Europeans enslaving them, the only thing European countries did is BUY those captured slaves by other African Tribes which was much more greater than having to forcefully do it, that's why it was called a Trade)
@@Ralph-Rainier well im gonna take the time to reply too :) "Timbuktu was the biggest and most advanced city in the whole of Africa and Europe." It is absolutely not true. TImbuktu in 14th century (time of Musa) had anywhere from 50-80k population => it wouldnt even enter top 10 european cities by popluation. Timbiktu was not even build by Musa. How do you even rank most advanced, by most accounts it wouldn't be... "Mansa Musa was so popular that the world atlas at the time (created by Europeans) included a drawing on him that encompassed 1/4 of the known map of Africa" => The map you mention appeared in spain more than 40 years after his death and deosnt mention Mali but Ghana You can see for yourself on the following link that Musa is made as big as other characters and deosnt take up as much space as you pretend : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalan_Atlas#/medi /File:1375_Atlas_Catalan_Abraham_Cresques.jpg "which was much more greater than having to forcefully do it, that's why it was called a Trade" Slave trade is a term coined for many such things, the slave trade in antiquity, arab slave trade in Africa or Ottoman slave trade. Heck Slave itself comes from slavic peaople enslaved by Bizentines What about Musa's Wealth ? According to several contemporary authors, such as Ibn Battuta, Ibn al-Dawadari and al-Umari, Mansa Musa ran out of money during his journey to Mecca and had to borrow from Egyptian merchants at a high rate of interest on his return journey. Al-Umari and Ibn Khaldun state that the moneylenders were either never repaid or only partly repaid. It is difficult to meaningfully compare the wealth of historical figures such as Mansa Musa, due to the difficulty of separating the personal wealth of a monarch from the wealth of the state and the difficulty of comparing wealth in highly different societies Also I'd take a grain of salt because Much of what is known about Musa comes from Arabic sources written after his hajj, especially the writings of Al-Umari and Ibn Khaldun. Even Oral tradition, as performed by the jeliw (sg. jeli), also known as griots, includes relatively little information about Musa compared to some other parts of the history of Mali. Even the date of his death is uncertain. => very few solid sources or written sources at all : This is not the sign of great wealth outside of conjonctural accumuluation of tradable raw materials. Yes he build some mosks and contrivuted to Timbuktu greatness between the 12 and 15th century but its no big wonder it didnt last. According to what one can find on Wikipedia : "Musa's reign is commonly regarded as Mali's golden age, but this perception may be the result of his reign being the best recorded by Arabic sources, rather than him necessarily being the wealthiest and most powerful mansa of Mali"
The man who was so rich that he actually caused inflation in whatever city he visited just because he spent so much freaking gold, what a legend! How many slaves did he own? Like 20000 or so? I bet he is keeping his head down for this conversation😂
As a Nigerian I am always open to learn more. Can't speak for my beloved ancestors, but our politicians do a very good job of making sure colonialism lives on.
Every high schooler spend month learning about the Algerian war in France, we learn about the war crimes, the torture, the Harkis… It’s very weird to say France is hiding the past when all our crimes are teach in high school in great details.
Did France ever punish any Frenchman for the crimes committed in Indochina? So yes they can teach about these war crimes but not to take action is to condone these crimes! After all we are still punishing Germans for crimes committed during World War 2!
You learn about the most sanitised and exposed crimes. A lot of the crimes you learn about were first hidden from the public by your government. Till this day not all the truth is out and you are not taught everything. Its like when a criminal commits a crime and then under heavy questioning admits to only part of the crime, the visible part of the ice berg but never confesses to the part under the water willingly.
As a Lebanese waiting for Turks and Arabs to apologize. As the empires become more recent we just have more written and recorded data.

As a Norwegian, I never expect an apology from a Dane, from Denmark that colonized Norway via a Union for over 400 years. A Union that cost Norway their own language, culture, religion and independence to Denmark. The same for Sweden, which forced Union with Norway for over 91 years, before we got our independence. Never expect an apology from Swedes about it. It is history, it is the past. No point whining and complaining about it. Just learn from them.
Denmark colonised Norway?? are you mad, Norway was the junior partner in a personal union with Denmark via a shared monarch. And Norway actually prospered in the union with them and Denmark did so too. The Norwegian and Danish economies complemented each other well and both countries were virtually equal in the union and Danish wasn't forced as an official language in Norway unlike what was happening in ACTUAL colonies. And if Denmark was never forced to let Norway go they would've seceded at their own time on their own accord. And putting this *Facade* of "Oh we were mistreated we lost our religion and culture and language" that is so factually incorrect that I cannot even begin to imagine what you were smoking when you wrote this. Norway didn't lose any of those things culture and religion were untouched and so was language, it was only through the continued unification that the norwegian language started to grammatically look more and more danish because of the choice of the Norwegian elite to use and prefer Danish over Norwegian which was NOT forced by Denmark to be used. Your victim mindset is extremely disturbing and exactly what I'd expect from a woke liberal.
@@Rasmus-wr4pz Since the dissolution of the Kalmar Union with Sweden, Denmark and Norway.

Norway's flag became Danish, Norway became a Danish province in a Danish kingdom. There was never a partnership union between Norway and Denmark.
The acquiescence of Norway was indeed by force but in many ways Norway had massive economic growth throughout the span of the union which they wouldn't have achieved without Denmark and Norwegian colonial aspirations especially in greenland were funded by mostly danes, but everything I said previously was not made redundant by your comment because everything I said is still true. Norway was forced into a mostly beneficial union with Denmark which they grew over time to accept. In some way or the other an alternate universe where Norway remained independent they would've remained a fractured de-centralised kingdom for centuries until they were either conquered or until it's population would be big enough to support it's kingdom.
Claiming that Denmark colonised Norway to the same extent as for example african colonies is one of the most insulting things I have ever heard. Just tells me you don't understand a bit about what actually happened before and during the union.
If a country governs another country, by deciding on the country's nationality via changing language, culture, religions, economic exploitation and more power-taking against that country's will. And use that land for their own gain and resource utilization. Yes, then it is colonism.
The way I’ve always seen it, it’s like if I, a Greek, blamed the Turks for all the problems in my life and just moped around and waited for them to feel bad for me and give me money.
Did the Ottoman take over of Greece work like other empires? Is Greece still living with institutions and political and economical and social relationships inherited by the Turks? I don't think so buddy
@@erichernandez1873 Not nice of you to belittle the struggles of one people to another. And its completely irrelevant to my comment. All I was trying to say if once upon a time some other nation ruled over your people combined with an ugly past, I wouldn't go beg them for money now. The only exception would be if they stole some. national treasure, that would be the only exception. But I genuinely think no Greek for example today would feel ok if Turkey for example one day came along and said, look we will give you 1 billion euro, if you promise to forget all about any atrocities of the past, forget the genocide, dont spread it around the world in articles etc etc.. no they would not do it. It would be a national embarrassment and make people feel like our country cant provide for its people. Its like trying to buy your silence. If I were an Algerian today and it was lets say 100 years since independence I would seriously contemplate on my country's progress since that time, especially since it had the freedom to do so.. I would be aiming to make my country better than France, not start building it with French money 50 years later. Most people in the Balkan countries after the turks left all they had was their sheep and goats. They started from nothing.
@@erichernandez1873Mate, yes the Ottomans did take over the Graeco-Roman world. Greece was left destitute and entirely missed out on the 17th C enlightenment. But Greece has rebuilt herself and established a new modern Greek identity and institutions. Unlike European colonial powers, I don't know of any positive legacy the Ottomans left Greece apart from a few pretty mosques.
It's also interesting to see the leaders of countries such as Barbados and Jamaica demand reparations without seeming to notice that they have inherited the whole country. Jamaica is also one of the most beautiful countries I have been to.
Reparations? For what? When do my people receive reparations? We suffered far more. The only reason the Blacks attack my people for slavery would be the fact we learned to rule the waves, built the greatest Empire the world has ever seen and gave PAYBACK in spades by colonising the African lands who enslaved my people. Karma's a bitch.
@alex.profi27 I'm jamaican and colonialism did us dirty , they shafted us to shanty towns , strong-arm us into low wage jobs simply so we couldn't move up the economic ladder or didn't permit us to buy houses in better neighborhoods (reserved for whites, mixed raced and lighter skin Asians). The British hate looking back at their mistakes and how their white fragility screwed over many caribbean nations from achieving their full potential.
My family came to Christ in Chile because of European missionaries. Our lives were forever changed for the better. Any Christian Europeans reading this, many of us appreciate and love your ancestors so much and appreciate the sacrifces they made to help us and stop South Americans from sacrificing people alive to demon dieties! I can't speak for everyone obviously, but our lives would be absolute hell without your knowledge and religion. We hold you in high regard. So much so my mother married a Christian Polish man lol! My great grandfather was a massive drunk, and his life was forever changed by those missionaries. So thank you thank you a million! I couldn't imagine life without Christ, without Christ we are so lost. God bless you ❤
The Church did/does evil things in Canada. And they refused to pay the $32 million they were ordered to pay to indigenous victims of abuse. The abuse didn't stop until 1996. There are thousands of victims still alive today. Christianity wreaked damage on this country. Only now when Christianity has lost it's privilege (it's to be treated equally with all religions), is the country starting to heal. Maybe it worked better in Chile.
Very good point about the Moors invading Spain, an event in history that will be skirted around by certain people I'm sure! Essentially humans have sadly treated each other like shite throughout our dark history, and I'm pretty sure that everybody has had a go at dominating weaker cultures, so.... Can we please just draw a line in the sand and all agree to accept the past and move on learning from it, never repeating the mistakes of those who came before us?! Because currently the world appears to be reverting to darker times and the wisdom we have gained seems irrelevant to those in power in the collective West.
The moors invading/occupying spain, the Ottomans invading/occupying the balkans and Greece, the seljuks invading and colonizing the East Roman Empire, the mongol invasions of eastern europe and russia. The Mughal empire in india and slavery in that region which continued until the late 19th century. The slavery of europeans by the Barbary states(which triggered a US naval expedition in 1823). We have moved on, but the left wants to dismantle the current western system to replace it with socialism. Something they've been trying for quite some time now. Its why they always try to attract young naive and gullible activists and not "white old men", the older people know whats up and dont fall for the lie anymore.
What I find most troubling about anti-colonialism bs is that it is commonly about figuring out how to make envy, and the resentment it creates, a virtue. If it wasn’t envy, then they would be going after Mongolia and it’s culture the most.
By their own logic they should absolutely despise Mongolia. Meanwhile, Mongolians are incredibly proud of their history, as they should be. The Mongolian Empire accomplished some great things, even if it was petty short lived, as empires go
@@hardromeo436 Yeah and 1000 years from now statues to Hitler and monuments to the 3rd Reich will be popping up in Post-Germany. People's memories tend to be short, especially once your nation becomes as irrelevant as Mongolia. At that point even scumbags like Genghis Khan become a symbol.
Britain had the largest Empire in History we came we saw we kicked your arse I say fight harder next time these people are just jealous because we where better than them plus England was conquered by the Normans and Vikings I don't bitch about the French and the Norwegians
Anti colonialists despise France and England more than Mongolia because those countries were in the Middle East and Africa within living memory, whereas Mongolia invaded the Middle East in 1250’s lmao. Who would have thought that people would be more angry about a bad thing that happened in 1940 than a bad thing that happened in 1240? Truly shocking
Roman, Saxon, Vikings English lost their religion , gods, land, freedom. Trick is they learnt all the good bits from being colonised and made them so strong.
Exactly what was demolished. The fundamentals of European colonialism hasn’t changed, their lack of natural resources isn’t going anywhere 😅It’s like the 7,000 machines, wouldn’t have been as profitable if they were set up in Paris 🤣🤣🤣The last 400 years have been real, moving forward it’s going to be interesting 🤔🤔
@@jasonrohrssen3394 But I watched it too and there was a lot of context that was left out. The fundamental point is Europe lacks sufficient natural resources to survive by itself. It needs resources from Africa Asia and Russia to survive. Inflation is always an issue when the vast majority of your resources are overseas.

History has mostly been done. Being a Historian today is all about having an angle that is out of fashion with the current prevailing narrative. So, if the 20th century was mostly nationalist, the 21st has so far been anti-nationalist. If "woke" becomes the common narrative then historians can easily switch back to the opposite, particularly since facts are more abundant on the other side of the argument.
It's all about seeing the progress of ideas and societies. I really don't understand why some "historians" hate the idea of their own race being inhumane for a certain period.
Right after Columbus arrived on Hispaniola, the local Taino Tribe asked for protection from the Carib Tribe, who was apparently trying to colonize them.
Yes, they fought and enslaved each other, but the problem is that a high-level Christian civilization came in and treated them as consumables for wealth, not as equal human being. Take Belgium - a country of comfort with chocolate and flowers, but what a horror they did in the Congo - chopped off children's hands if father was not working good enough in harsh rubber production

I enjoy reading about history as well. the way I see it, if you're here today, throughout our lineage we got screwed and did some screwing to one another. nobody is innocent of this. some of these threads talking about reparations and exploitation,smh. ironically probably typing it on a device that was used that was built using slave labor. when are people gonna let go of the dead mans baggage and move forward? as long as we remain petty, probably not for a very long time.
This is brilliant! I love the way you revised the “woke “ history segments, love the sarcasm too. Will definitely be on the watch for more of your work.😂😂
Agreed that slavery/war/land-grabbing was in effect in before Europeans expanded to the new worlds, but what was, and still is, in effect is that a small group of people benefit from from this. In your presentation, you point out that French *taxpayers* paid out 3.2 million(billion today) for colonization. The average Fenchie didn't come close to benefit from these conquests as the investors (the kings/queens/rulers of that era). In short, privatize the gains and socialize the losses.
Thanks for the clarification, Cpt Obvious. And if the 'wokies' get what they want, who still pays? The people who didn't benefit. Hell, they weren't even alive during this period...
No matter how hard some certain people try to divide us against each other on whatever grounds, the central factor will always be power. And the best way to deal with it is to ensure that our system is as democratic as reasonably possible and the citizens should remain vigilant to ensure that the powerful people don't abuse their powers.
@@Progamermove_2003 When did 'Democracy' become such a pointless buzzword? I know why - the complete over use without any understanding of the actual definition of the word..

Dude, I like to pride myself on dubunking the wokies on their Native American history narrative, but you are absolutley wiping up the floor with them. i'm glad people like you are pushing back against this societal disease
@@FredrickWilhelm-ph1jb The easiest one is the noble savage native american myth. American Natives warred, conquered, and colonized each other as much as Europeans did if not more, so they're really no better or worse than anyone which is a given when you're talking about human beings and human nature. Often they didn't even uphold a proper concept of property ownership, so in some cases where European colonizers/Americans, by negotiation and treaty, used currency or goods to purchase a piece of land, those same tribes would take the payment, then just come back later and use/take the land again anyways, if not attack the same property owners that payed them for the land in the first place. Sacred grounds aren't even something completely agreed upon thanks to the differences between tribes, so none of them can agree on what lands need to be protected, what lands are sacred, and which tribe deserves the more sacred ground due to arbitrary and conflicting ruling.
I’m Mexican and African-American, two “colonized” people and I’m so sick of the victim mentality! Both Mexicans and African-Americans have mixed European blood. We wouldn’t be who we are today if it weren’t for our history. We wouldn’t exist.
Here's an idea: all the French go back to France, and all the non native French go back to their countries. Then we'll see who's an economic powerhouse and who still needs help to do the most basic things. Colonialism cost the powers untold billions, and yet most people have no idea...
a big amount of african countries (even today) were left "independent" after the condition that they use the french franc and then the euro, that made their economies dependent on france... not to mention the political control they also had on them
@@hothdog so does the US. So what? They're taking advantage of a situation presented to them because the leadership of the region allows it to happen and the people don't do anything about it. Exactly what China has been doing there for decades, with mixed results at best. The stone cold reality is that the population explosion in Africa is facilitated by food donations from the West, mainly the United States. If those stopped tomorrow, absolute chaos would break out and the continent would devolve into a disastrous situation. That's not the fault of the CIA, or the French, or any outside force. They play roles, but those roles are set by the conditions on the ground and what the people of those countries do on a daily basis. Dozens of countries all over the world have cast off their imperialist masters and vastly improved life for their citizens over time by committing to advancing their societies forward. That requires staggering levels of work, team building and control of corruption and infighting. Those conditions simply do not exist in the vast majority of African countries, and they NEVER HAVE. Be it corruption, tribal conflict, laziness, tendency to drink and waste money instead of investment into the future, or just cultural differences on what's important and what is not have rarely(if ever) allowed such a situation to arrive and thrive. Empire of Dust is a wonderful(if tedious) look into one such situation, and it's definitely worth a watch. It's not just the puppet masters pulling the strings that make things happen. They pull those strings based on how the people they're trying to manipulate will react...

My online history course in college is specifically CRT-focused. I am self-trained and taught to recognize this from miles away, so I know what CRT looks and sounds like. The lesson I'm being taught this week is about Bacon's Rebellion, the Walking Purchase, the slave trade (we're told to "think Pacifically" about this), and the colonization of the Carolinas and New Amsterdam, just to name a few topics. To make this course easier, I am teaching myself the exact opposite of what they want to teach me. Memorize their material only for the tests, then pack it up and forget about it.

To be honest France does still have a strangle hold on west africa to this day with the CFA. I mean the entire reason we invaded Lybia and overthrew Gaddafi was out of French fears that Gaddafi would start a new centralized currency in africa that would overthrow the CFA. The news hysteria around Gaddafi was started by financial institutions in England and France spread by the newspapers and media companies they own. We bombed the Libyan airforce and navy into submission and eliminated thier ability to continue fighting the small rebellion. Now lybia went from one og the richest most literate nations on earth with its own independent currency, oil industry, gold stores, high rates of literacy, clean water, low crime and high income to a failed state. Funny how we come in bomb the shit out of a dictator and it is always replaced by terrorist and gangs. Now they have almost no clean water, low literacy, high crime, low income, higher rates of rape, murder, lower women's education and poverty now. Good thing though that Repsol and Total have control of the oil now.

During the last World Cup, I saw many pundits, usually English, cheer for Morocco against Spain, Portugal and France because of colonialism. Pissed me off because they never once mentioned that Morocco had colonized Iberia and parts of France hundreds of years longer than Morocco was colonized. And at the time, Morocco itself had been colonized by the Arabs. In fact, the Moorish colonization of Iberia from 711 to 1492 lasted a total of 781 years. 1492 is also when Columbus sailed to the Americas. 1492 to 2023 is 531 years, and there are few European colonies left in the Americas today. Also, Morocco is colonizing Western Sahara at this very moment. Not even a blip on the woke colonizer radar.
There a recent trend nowadys where non europeans think they are somehow the victims and start to openly be racist against a GLOBAL MINORITY And then they wonder why there are still a few naziis
Your whataboutism falls flat on its face, because there's a difference between conquest and colonialism, for any conquest to be colonialism there should be a clear intent to exploit and bring back the wealth to the "homeland". Apart from the actual colonialism that morocco did for slave trade in the sahel (which you didn't mention), all of your examples don't fall in this category, if andalusia was a moroccan colony, why did it at some point conquer parts of nothern morocco? Andalusia was more of an independant spanish state (after the umayyad and almuhad empires), or states at the end, the reconquista was a civil war. Would you call modern day mexico a colony of spain? Probably not even though the population was affected to a larger degree by spanish conquest than in al-andalus. Morocco wasn't that badly hurt by colonialism since it preserved all of it's state structures and it didn't last that long (40 years for the whole country), but the spanish and portuguese incursions into coastal port cities was a major factor in famines that weakened the country significantly before becoming a protectorate.

As a country colonized by France, the Vietnamese should have a voice in this situation. The French did do something horrible to our in the past. But at the same time, they brought things that our kings and lords did not. We were a strong country back then, but we were lacked behind by closing gate policies by the Nguyễn empire. The French did colonized us but they brought some kind of civilize into our country. We have cheap modern medicines, modern education... They built cities, roads, infrastructures. 70% of Vietnamese should thanks them because the French gave them their last name - most of Vietnamese back then didn't have a last name.
I don't think the French gave Vietnamese people surnames. The naming structure, the statistical distribution of surnames, and the types of surnames that exist seem to suggest that surnames predate French colonization. While France did give Vietnam technology and infrastructure, trade, treaties, and exchange of ideas would have been a much less brutal avenue towards the same thing. French occupation was terrible. Let's not forget that.
You may keep your colonization experience limited to Vietnam. France do not control your Central Banking now and they did not carry any of your people as slaves. Hope you are not comparing with Africa right?
@@innocentodinkemere4597 European colonization was slightly different in each colony, but make no mistake. French colonialism in Vietnam was quite brutal. The Vietnamese people were impoverished and openly brutalized by occupying forces as our natural resources were extracted. I wrote previously why I don't think French occupation was a necessary evil. The French had many other, less brutal options at their disposal that would have both satisfied their mercantilism and helped modernize Vietnam.

@@caroline7648 You think France willingly gave up their colonies? You can't possibly be serious Haha.

Because weaponising weakness is a useful tool for profitable and political gain. These same anti-colonial crybabies would love to attain power if given the opportunity.
According to a number of media reports here in Russia, by the way, I'll talk about this in detail on my channel in the next update, the country's Ministry of Defense is creating special groups to deal with Western tanks supplied in Ukraine, that is, we can probably say with certainty that it's only a matter of time now and Western tanks will also be in the hands of Russian design bureaus and, subsequently, Russian military museums.
Piketty made the calculation. At the peak of the colonial period, in the 1910s, GDP of French was generated at 85-90% from France itself, and 10-15% from colonies. But the French upper class made around 40% of their income from colonies, where they could monopolize the benefits of the plantations, industry and trade much more easily, depriving the natives of 50% of their production to sell it abroad. So no, colonies were not essential to France's growth and progress. But yes, colonies were a significant part of the wealth of the upper class.
Overall, slavery has never been a very effective means of production in the first place so any colony that utilized it was in for short term gains and in for a lot of long term turbulence and sunk costs.

Kind regards from your Italian subscriber. *just one little weird idea, speaking of woke and "multiculturalism": would be the west so adamant in supporting Ukraine, after seeing the videos showing how the african students were treated during evacuation, or how the lgbt are "accepted" by locals? Or maybe, using their totalitarian woke logic, if someone doesn't support minorities and "the message", they deserve to be eradicated...?
0:09 The reason he said “Probably wealthier” is probably because it coasts a lot to run a colony and France had a lot of failed colonies. At least that’s what I think what he meant.
As some other have pointed out, if you taking into account the cost of the armies, the infrastructure, the medicine, etc. and the limited income from taxes, to the nation operating a colony the colony is operating at a loss. Sure, it's making a few people very wealthy, and those people are passing some of that to the people than enable them (for example, directly to the King's coffer) but for the nation as a whole the colony is often a losing proposition. This is why relatively small countries did not colonize despite having the troops and technological advancements to do so - they didn't have the tax base to support the cost, and those that did try ended up being worse off.
@@garrick3727 You cannot have it both ways. If one cannot state the economic gains another cannot state the loses. And how sick is it that you didn't gain anything at all, yet want to have dominion over foreign soil? Some pretty crappy leadership.
It's not really a matter of failed colony, by sub-saharan African colonies were rarely profitable in general (apart from particular cases, for example South Africa, which had a large euro population anyway). Natural ressources could help, but well.

"White people are colonizers and cannot be colonized!" Irish,Poles,Czechs,Slovaks,Romanians,Bulgarians,Greeks,Serbs,Croats,Bosnians,Montenegrins,North Macedonians,Albanians,Ukrainians,Belarusians,Estonians,Latvians,Lithuanians,Fins,Norwegians,Hungarians:About that
Not only white people, but also the Western Europeans themselves (at least the ones living West of the Rhine) got colonized by the Romans, who themselves would later on get destroyed by the Germanics, Arabs and Turks among others. But nonetheless, while these people present their arguments in a wrong way, it's clear that colonialism, wars and all are bad and cause suffering for everyone. And it's particularly important to understand European colonialism because European powers came to rule most of the world, and for better or worse, we're still living in the aftermath of European colonialism.
France too. Germany took Alsace and Lorraine in 1871 and France only got it back in 1919 or there's even the Roman Empire who colonised the whole of Gaule.

Yes there are a lot of people playing the victim but you must also recognise and not rule out the actual victims because they still exist and are affected to this day.
Ethiopia was never colonized...
Just last year you guys were screaming No More, especially when USA and EU started to sanction your government, there were no group that was victimized like the Ethiopians especially in the middle east, 500000 Ethiopians were locked in Saudi Arabia because of conflict between Ethiopia and Egypt with the Nile dam
@@КрисДосс Ethiopia also has 10x lower GDP than say SA or Botswana and half the literacy. There were upsides to colonisation to go along with the downsides. Literacy leads to legal stability. Legal stability allows for foreign investment as the investor has a better chance of getting return of investment. Colonisers brought this in as a package and despite the fact that the goal was often nothing more than exploitation the residual benefits built up after years and decades passed and the foreign influence invested more and more in the exploitation infrastructure (railways for faster extraction, schools for a more educated workforce). Despite the negative situation, over the long term the benefits outweighed the injustices.
@@КрисДосс Ethiopia was under Italian occupation before and during WW2 for 5-6 years after the 2nd Italo-Ethiopian war in 1936-37 which Italy won. Italy also took British somaliland and Abyssinia and already owned Eritrea and somalia(Libya too, but that's far north). After the 5-6 years of Italian occupation the Ethiopians finally started to make major resistance and won their first victory in struggle to start regaining independence, however fighting continued for a long time with Italian soldiers not giving up. Only some certain parts of Ethiopia were not under complete control of Italy during the 5-6 years of occupation. Italy got this control by resorting to gas and chemical weapons attacks on soldiers after it was banned in the end of WW1, but even that did not work, so Italy used gas and chemical weapons on the civillians, then Italy finally had controll over much or Ethiopia.
So yes, Ethiopia was colonized for half decade. Just not multiple decades long like much the rest of Africa.
Ignoring the fact Ethiopia was colonized ignores the war crimes and crimes against humanity Italy committed on Ethiopia, just because there was some parts they didn't fully control and it wasn't for half a century they had them colonized does not mean it did not happen.
It is time to acknowledge this so Italy can be forced to pay reparations to Ethiopia, maybe Italy can help build infrastructure for electricity and give money so Ethiopia doesn't have to dam up the Nile river so much and hurt Egypt as much as they originally/currently plan to.
It is time for Italy to pay reparations to Ethiopia and help them for some sort of reconciliation. It is time for people to stop ignoring the war crimes and crimes against humanity Italy committed during the colonization of Ethiopia.
As a Nigerian, my opinion on colonialism will be more nuanced than that of most westerners. On one hand, it was brutal in some ways but on the other it did play a huge role in bringing much of Africa into the modern age via introduction of modern tech, medicine, western education, and nation building. My country literally wouldn't exist without the British. For all the issues we face, most of us wouldn't ever dream of not having a country of our own.
Also, one major good it did was abolish slavery. I cannot be more thankful for the British using their naval power and economic might to suppress the slave trade in Africa. Oh, I know they partook in it for a time, themselves, but it existed here long before whites ever came to Africa. Even my own ancestors of the Edo kingdom were slavers. What makes the British different is that unlike other regional African and Arab powers, they had the cultural & religious framework, wisdom, humanity and courage to actually stop the evil of slavery even at huge cost to their economy.
This was the real talent of Britishers... they changed their policy time to time... they had done everything which was needed to keep their industries alive...if i see the map of Africa the boundaries of countries are drawn with the help of scale and protectors in British and French drawing rooms... they must have given you Nigeria but at the cost of Africa

Wow common sense ! Cheers !
I am Swiss. Didn't have slaves since the early middle ages. Never had any colonies.
In recent years there have been voices that we should pay reparation for the transatlantic slave trade.
The reasoning behind it. We had investments and trade relations with the countries and companies that were associated with slavery. Meaning we owe part of our wealth to the slave trade.
On the other hand. You barely hear about anything from the Arab and African nations that hunted down people, enslaved them and sold them off. Having to pay reparation. If at all.
It's almost like those "Reparationists" care less about justice but more about the cash. As there is more to get from those Western countries than the Arab and African Nations. In fact. The african nations even demand reparations themself for the slave trade. Even though it was them that sold them off.
The only reason they stopped doing the is because the Colonial powers forcdem them with threats of violence.
@@Teufer2 Even Swiss who never ever ruled any slave business in Africa are supposed to be guilty because of trade exchange with colonial powers. This doesn't make any sense. This is all about anti European racism and begging money.

You know who traded with them as well?
EVERYONE did! Those were Global Empires!
They had trade relations from South American Headhunters to Japanese Feudal Lords.
Foreign Cotton Imports was crucial for the industralisation of Switzerland AND Japan.
You don't hear anyone demand reparation from Japan.
And again. Who SOLD the slaves again? Everyone has to pay reparations for the trans atlantic slavery.
Except the ones who were the first in the line of supply.
I really liked the map of French colonialism in north America. My family are from the CPN band of Potawatomi American Indians. At the first contact with the French Around 1615 my band had almost been completely exterminated by the Iroquoi American Indian nation. Only about 2000 of us had survived the war with the Iroquoi, mostly women, children, and old people. The French explorers married our widows, became fathers to our orphaned children, and saved our people from the Iroquoi invaders. Today there are more than 16,000 of us. Thank God the French colonized us! If they had not arrived we would have been wiped out by Iroquoi bent on genocide.
Wow... just... wow. That's really something, the world ain't black and white (in more than one way).
Then why aren't you shocked when at 3:34 he talks about the French being less interested in their american's land because of "Hostiles Natives" ? (And it's a true question not a provocative one): France has been the most helpfull and peacefull of the europeans the native americans met. I find it quite sad that HistoryLegends try to defend the French colonial past while spreading the idea that native americans were to be put in the same hostile box than british settlers to them.

@@117Ender The argument that all empires in the past engaged in similar behavior as the British or French Empire is not a valid excuse to avoid criticism. Just because other empires have committed similar acts, it does not mean that these acts were morally justifiable.
Moreover, each empire has its own unique history and circumstances, and the actions of one cannot be used to justify the actions of another. The British and French Empire, in particular, was responsible for numerous atrocities and injustices, such as the exploitation and oppression of indigenous peoples, forced colonization, and the imposition of unequal economic and political systems. e.g chattel slavery, the genocide of many peoples like Tasmina, Sétif and Guelma massacre etc.
it is important to critically examine the actions of historical empires to learn from past mistakes and prevent similar injustices from occurring in the future.
@@117Ender
"as a colony, and was a major producer of sugar/coffee, etc, that ppl invested, tensions got high, war broke out"
why did tension break out? Slavery of course in Haiti was particularly brutal and oppressive due to a combination of factors, including the extreme brutality of French plantation owners, the large number of enslaved people in the colony, and the harsh living conditions on the plantations.
The French colonial was based on the production of cash crops, particularly sugar, which required large numbers of enslaved laborers to cultivate and harvest. The plantation owners were known for their cruelty and exploitation of the enslaved people, who were forced to work long hours in difficult and dangerous conditions with little food or rest.
He fails to mention this but no its probably "woke" history.
""haiti invaded and held contol of DR for decades, and got some of that indentured servitude that literally everyone else was doing? """"
That's a tricky one but there needs to be context involved.
Haiti's occupation was oppressive, with Haitian soldiers committing atrocities against the Dominican population. But others argue that the Haitian occupation brought about important social and economic reforms,.Ie such as the abolition of slavery and the establishment of a public education system. (this is debated though)
Comparing the Haitian occupation to France is stupid as one was clearly worse than the other. France's colonization of Haiti was marked by extreme violence, exploitation, and slavery, whereas the Haitian occupation of the Dominican Republic was not based on the same system of oppression.

The irony of “woke” is that acolytes are blind to reality. “Woke” appeals to the worst impulses of weak people because it provides them the auspices to abuse, loot and berate people simply based on their ethnicity or skin color. It’s attempting to establish the basis for an authoritarian government that can violate property rights on a whim by making native populations in these target nations guilty of crimes that they must be punished for with punitive damages extracted by the government. It’s constructed on half-truths and massive historical omissions. The context for these narratives is a carefully constructed lie that is blasted and repeated over and over through these corporate sponsored or institutional platforms in order to maintain a pervasive presence in the public consciousness. It relies on ignorance and miseducation in the public. Videos like this one debunking the narratives are left up to random common people who care to reveal the truth. Free people cannot govern themselves without the truth.

Fun fact with the british "jalaeousy"
American wanted to bring the metric system from France (which just invented it with Napoleon) and English corsairs attaked the ship with the weight used . It isn't really known if is was the primary objective to stop the spread of this french idea (U.K used imperial system at the time). So we can say that the U.K is the reason why U.S.A didn't use the metric system now (and now they mock them to not use it)
The Imperial system is vastly superior to the metric system because it encodes many geometrical relationships within the Solar System. Or in other words the Solar System was built using Imperial Units. A mind boggling fun fact.

“The African kingdoms were so poor at the time”
Mansa Musa of Mali: **Am I a joke to you?**

@@tayloryoung9803though a bit late to the discussion, he was so rich he built libraries and mosques ALONG the way to his Pilgrimage. He literally inflated local economies in Egypt which took 20 years to recover. He created intricate architecture and improved education that Timbuktu was the biggest and most advanced city in the whole of Africa and Europe. Mansa Musa was so popular that the world atlas at the time (created by Europeans) included a drawing on him that encompassed 1/4 of the known map of Africa. Sadly, the Empire fell to other African tribes, and the Africans pillaging of Timbuktu was so bad that it couldn't recover from this since the African Tribes enslaved many of the African Mali people without giving them time to rebuild. (I would also like to rant, like Europe didn't invent slavery, and African Tribes enslaving African Tribes were more common than Europeans enslaving them, the only thing European countries did is BUY those captured slaves by other African Tribes which was much more greater than having to forcefully do it, that's why it was called a Trade)
@@Ralph-Rainier well im gonna take the time to reply too :)
"Timbuktu was the biggest and most advanced city in the whole of Africa and Europe." It is absolutely not true. TImbuktu in 14th century (time of Musa) had anywhere from 50-80k population => it wouldnt even enter top 10 european cities by popluation. Timbiktu was not even build by Musa. How do you even rank most advanced, by most accounts it wouldn't be...
"Mansa Musa was so popular that the world atlas at the time (created by Europeans) included a drawing on him that encompassed 1/4 of the known map of Africa"
=> The map you mention appeared in spain more than 40 years after his death and deosnt mention Mali but Ghana
You can see for yourself on the following link that Musa is made as big as other characters and deosnt take up as much space as you pretend :
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalan_Atlas#/medi /File:1375_Atlas_Catalan_Abraham_Cresques.jpg
"which was much more greater than having to forcefully do it, that's why it was called a Trade"
Slave trade is a term coined for many such things, the slave trade in antiquity, arab slave trade in Africa or Ottoman slave trade. Heck Slave itself comes from slavic peaople enslaved by Bizentines
What about Musa's Wealth ?
According to several contemporary authors, such as Ibn Battuta, Ibn al-Dawadari and al-Umari, Mansa Musa ran out of money during his journey to Mecca and had to borrow from Egyptian merchants at a high rate of interest on his return journey. Al-Umari and Ibn Khaldun state that the moneylenders were either never repaid or only partly repaid.
It is difficult to meaningfully compare the wealth of historical figures such as Mansa Musa, due to the difficulty of separating the personal wealth of a monarch from the wealth of the state and the difficulty of comparing wealth in highly different societies
Also I'd take a grain of salt because Much of what is known about Musa comes from Arabic sources written after his hajj, especially the writings of Al-Umari and Ibn Khaldun. Even Oral tradition, as performed by the jeliw (sg. jeli), also known as griots, includes relatively little information about Musa compared to some other parts of the history of Mali. Even the date of his death is uncertain.
=> very few solid sources or written sources at all : This is not the sign of great wealth outside of conjonctural accumuluation of tradable raw materials. Yes he build some mosks and contrivuted to Timbuktu greatness between the 12 and 15th century but its no big wonder it didnt last.
According to what one can find on Wikipedia : "Musa's reign is commonly regarded as Mali's golden age, but this perception may be the result of his reign being the best recorded by Arabic sources, rather than him necessarily being the wealthiest and most powerful mansa of Mali"
The man who was so rich that he actually caused inflation in whatever city he visited just because he spent so much freaking gold, what a legend!
How many slaves did he own? Like 20000 or so? I bet he is keeping his head down for this conversation😂

As a Norwegian, I never expect an apology from a Dane, from Denmark that colonized Norway via a Union for over 400 years. A Union that cost Norway their own language, culture, religion and independence to Denmark.
The same for Sweden, which forced Union with Norway for over 91 years, before we got our independence. Never expect an apology from Swedes about it. It is history, it is the past.
No point whining and complaining about it. Just learn from them.
Denmark colonised Norway?? are you mad, Norway was the junior partner in a personal union with Denmark via a shared monarch. And Norway actually prospered in the union with them and Denmark did so too. The Norwegian and Danish economies complemented each other well and both countries were virtually equal in the union and Danish wasn't forced as an official language in Norway unlike what was happening in ACTUAL colonies. And if Denmark was never forced to let Norway go they would've seceded at their own time on their own accord. And putting this *Facade* of "Oh we were mistreated we lost our religion and culture and language" that is so factually incorrect that I cannot even begin to imagine what you were smoking when you wrote this. Norway didn't lose any of those things culture and religion were untouched and so was language, it was only through the continued unification that the norwegian language started to grammatically look more and more danish because of the choice of the Norwegian elite to use and prefer Danish over Norwegian which was NOT forced by Denmark to be used. Your victim mindset is extremely disturbing and exactly what I'd expect from a woke liberal.
@@Rasmus-wr4pz
Since the dissolution of the Kalmar Union with Sweden, Denmark and Norway.
When Sweden left the Union, Denmark took control of the Kingdom of Norway, dissolving the Norwegian self-government.
By bringing all power and control straight to Copenhagen, and Copenhagen became Norway's capital.
All the islands that belonged to Norway before, i.e. Iceland, Greenland, the Faroe Islands which were Norwegian before went straight to Denmark. Norway's flag became Danish, Norway became a Danish province in a Danish kingdom.
There was never a partnership union between Norway and Denmark.
The acquiescence of Norway was indeed by force but in many ways Norway had massive economic growth throughout the span of the union which they wouldn't have achieved without Denmark and Norwegian colonial aspirations especially in greenland were funded by mostly danes, but everything I said previously was not made redundant by your comment because everything I said is still true. Norway was forced into a mostly beneficial union with Denmark which they grew over time to accept. In some way or the other an alternate universe where Norway remained independent they would've remained a fractured de-centralised kingdom for centuries until they were either conquered or until it's population would be big enough to support it's kingdom.
Claiming that Denmark colonised Norway to the same extent as for example african colonies is one of the most insulting things I have ever heard. Just tells me you don't understand a bit about what actually happened before and during the union.
If a country governs another country, by deciding on the country's nationality via changing language, culture, religions, economic exploitation and more power-taking against that country's will. And use that land for their own gain and resource utilization.
Yes, then it is colonism.

The only exception would be if they stole some. national treasure, that would be the only exception. But I genuinely think no Greek for example today would feel ok if Turkey for example one day came along and said, look we will give you 1 billion euro, if you promise to forget all about any atrocities of the past, forget the genocide, dont spread it around the world in articles etc etc.. no they would not do it. It would be a national embarrassment and make people feel like our country cant provide for its people. Its like trying to buy your silence.

I would be aiming to make my country better than France, not start building it with French money 50 years later.

History has mostly been done. Being a Historian today is all about having an angle that is out of fashion with the current prevailing narrative. So, if the 20th century was mostly nationalist, the 21st has so far been anti-nationalist. If "woke" becomes the common narrative then historians can easily switch back to the opposite, particularly since facts are more abundant on the other side of the argument.

a big amount of african countries (even today) were left "independent" after the condition that they use the french franc and then the euro, that made their economies dependent on france... not to mention the political control they also had on them
@@hothdog so does the US. So what? They're taking advantage of a situation presented to them because the leadership of the region allows it to happen and the people don't do anything about it. Exactly what China has been doing there for decades, with mixed results at best. The stone cold reality is that the population explosion in Africa is facilitated by food donations from the West, mainly the United States. If those stopped tomorrow, absolute chaos would break out and the continent would devolve into a disastrous situation. That's not the fault of the CIA, or the French, or any outside force. They play roles, but those roles are set by the conditions on the ground and what the people of those countries do on a daily basis. Dozens of countries all over the world have cast off their imperialist masters and vastly improved life for their citizens over time by committing to advancing their societies forward. That requires staggering levels of work, team building and control of corruption and infighting. Those conditions simply do not exist in the vast majority of African countries, and they NEVER HAVE. Be it corruption, tribal conflict, laziness, tendency to drink and waste money instead of investment into the future, or just cultural differences on what's important and what is not have rarely(if ever) allowed such a situation to arrive and thrive. Empire of Dust is a wonderful(if tedious) look into one such situation, and it's definitely worth a watch. It's not just the puppet masters pulling the strings that make things happen. They pull those strings based on how the people they're trying to manipulate will react...
@@randylahey8207 the last thing that you'll catch me saying is that France is the only one that's doing this, however that doesn't make doing it okay or normal in anyway
(Normal as in acceptable)
I said it to mean that it is still unfair of a comparison since they didn't get their proper independence and are still being exploited(even if France fully left the effect of their presence will still exist in the form of a dictatorship taking place, huge amounts of property early on etc...)

My online history course in college is specifically CRT-focused. I am self-trained and taught to recognize this from miles away, so I know what CRT looks and sounds like. The lesson I'm being taught this week is about Bacon's Rebellion, the Walking Purchase, the slave trade (we're told to "think Pacifically" about this), and the colonization of the Carolinas and New Amsterdam, just to name a few topics.
To make this course easier, I am teaching myself the exact opposite of what they want to teach me. Memorize their material only for the tests, then pack it up and forget about it.
_we're told to think_
Astonishing. You pay us and we'll assign you what to think.
So are you saying those things didn’t happen? I’m failing to follow what exactly you’re getting at. You can accept that in the US slavery was an institution without thinking that somehow it makes u a bad person now. It happened. Don’t be so fragile.
@@JoeBauers8 😂. CRT is the definition of "fragile".
@@JoeBauers8let's break this down in a way you can hopefully understand. Yes, events occurred - but they did not occur the way CRT says they did. Additionally, the results/consequences of these events are inaccurately portrayed by CRT. CRT is historically illiterate.

To be honest France does still have a strangle hold on west africa to this day with the CFA. I mean the entire reason we invaded Lybia and overthrew Gaddafi was out of French fears that Gaddafi would start a new centralized currency in africa that would overthrow the CFA.
The news hysteria around Gaddafi was started by financial institutions in England and France spread by the newspapers and media companies they own. We bombed the Libyan airforce and navy into submission and eliminated thier ability to continue fighting the small rebellion. Now lybia went from one og the richest most literate nations on earth with its own independent currency, oil industry, gold stores, high rates of literacy, clean water, low crime and high income to a failed state. Funny how we come in bomb the shit out of a dictator and it is always replaced by terrorist and gangs. Now they have almost no clean water, low literacy, high crime, low income, higher rates of rape, murder, lower women's education and poverty now. Good thing though that Repsol and Total have control of the oil now.
@@secretly_obamas_boyfriend What do you think of people like BNuts and the 65 who liked his comment because of the "truth" being explained in this history. I guess people see the truth when they hear something they are comfortable with.
@@MrMelomalo you answered your own question with very wise words.
@@secretly_obamas_boyfriendthose are miths. Ghadafi was conected to the darfur crisis (not the present one but the past one). He was conected to a bunch of terrorist orgs such as ira and company cause he was their weapons dealer.
When pan-arabism stoped being a good weapons buyer he turned to pan-africanism.
U can see zimbabwe picking up the idea - it created a gold coin which is the easiest way to take money out of africa which was the true objective.
Cause all other forms of currency can be tracked and bitcoin wasn't popular (ghadafi wasn't tech futuristic just smart).
The reason ghadafi keeps appearing as a somewhat cool leader is cause he was socialist (baath party) so he takes a forgiveness from left political actors.
U can be a war criminal and a horrible dictator, but u get a pass if ur socialist.
The rest is miths spread to keep politics in africa in lign with socialist ideology and loyal to its socialist political class.
@@puraLusa These are not myths about Ghadafi , You have war criminals in the west who can label other world leaders as war criminals, but would never subject to the same international court treatments for the mass murders they have committed.. Do you want names? These things have nothing to do with socialism. Control and power are the only requirement to go kill without impunity anyone who does not want to play the same games as the "superpowers".. Soo happy so see a real decolonization happening, without puppet dictators put in place by who you know so who you know can still perpetuate the stereotypes, and keep on stealing legally the resources of the countries while maintaining the populations poor.

During the last World Cup, I saw many pundits, usually English, cheer for Morocco against Spain, Portugal and France because of colonialism.
Pissed me off because they never once mentioned that Morocco had colonized Iberia and parts of France hundreds of years longer than Morocco was colonized. And at the time, Morocco itself had been colonized by the Arabs.
In fact, the Moorish colonization of Iberia from 711 to 1492 lasted a total of 781 years. 1492 is also when Columbus sailed to the Americas. 1492 to 2023 is 531 years, and there are few European colonies left in the Americas today. Also, Morocco is colonizing Western Sahara at this very moment. Not even a blip on the woke colonizer radar.
There a recent trend nowadys where non europeans think they are somehow the victims and start to openly be racist against a GLOBAL MINORITY
And then they wonder why there are still a few naziis
Nah they were cheering for morocco to restore glorious al-andalus
And if you go there what about colonize about of moracc to this day is see no one talk 😂😂😂😂
Your whataboutism falls flat on its face, because there's a difference between conquest and colonialism, for any conquest to be colonialism there should be a clear intent to exploit and bring back the wealth to the "homeland".
Apart from the actual colonialism that morocco did for slave trade in the sahel (which you didn't mention), all of your examples don't fall in this category, if andalusia was a moroccan colony, why did it at some point conquer parts of nothern morocco?
Andalusia was more of an independant spanish state (after the umayyad and almuhad empires), or states at the end, the reconquista was a civil war.
Would you call modern day mexico a colony of spain? Probably not even though the population was affected to a larger degree by spanish conquest than in al-andalus.
Morocco wasn't that badly hurt by colonialism since it preserved all of it's state structures and it didn't last that long (40 years for the whole country), but the spanish and portuguese incursions into coastal port cities was a major factor in famines that weakened the country significantly before becoming a protectorate.

It is interesting that all this handwringing over Western colonialism is taking place in a period of rapid Western decline. Nietzsche would have something to say about this.
These cultural marxists could not have done this alone. Someone helped them every step of the way. From disguising who they were, to helping infiltrate the targeted institutions, to promoting their ideas and just generally helping them while on the run. And their helpers had to have access to large financial resources. Who could have helped them? what was the connection? Why did they do it? How did they benefit? The answers to these questions will lead to perhaps the biggest rabbit hole of all.
Thats easy there called Zionist
Yes. In the United States and in Europe, basically the entirety of the West.. the corporate establishment and the current administration (Marxist democrats) along with their “helpful idiots “ activists… have done this.. for several decades.. it is now however quite the movement to subvert and bring about centralized control and power.. to the establishment… ESG, DEI, crt, CEI, and all other related wokery .. a multi pronged attack on American people and European people… all of the west. Our youngest generations seem to buy in on this nonsense, and even some GenXers some boomers as well.. complacency and lots of propaganda and twisted narratives have brought us here, nearly constant psy ops for the last two or three years in particular.. it’s so obvious with the heavy handed actions of this administration, the rhetoric used is shocking actually.. I don’t understand how anyone don’t see it at this point, complete ignorance I suppose.. however it’s one of those things where once you see it.. you cannot unsee it.. all of it is so blatant and just willful… treason… outright treason.

As a country colonized by France, the Vietnamese should have a voice in this situation. The French did do something horrible to our in the past. But at the same time, they brought things that our kings and lords did not. We were a strong country back then, but we were lacked behind by closing gate policies by the Nguyễn empire. The French did colonized us but they brought some kind of civilize into our country. We have cheap modern medicines, modern education... They built cities, roads, infrastructures. 70% of Vietnamese should thanks them because the French gave them their last name - most of Vietnamese back then didn't have a last name.
I don't think the French gave Vietnamese people surnames. The naming structure, the statistical distribution of surnames, and the types of surnames that exist seem to suggest that surnames predate French colonization.
While France did give Vietnam technology and infrastructure, trade, treaties, and exchange of ideas would have been a much less brutal avenue towards the same thing. French occupation was terrible. Let's not forget that.
You may keep your colonization experience limited to Vietnam. France do not control your Central Banking now and they did not carry any of your people as slaves. Hope you are not comparing with Africa right?
@@innocentodinkemere4597 European colonization was slightly different in each colony, but make no mistake. French colonialism in Vietnam was quite brutal. The Vietnamese people were impoverished and openly brutalized by occupying forces as our natural resources were extracted. I wrote previously why I don't think French occupation was a necessary evil. The French had many other, less brutal options at their disposal that would have both satisfied their mercantilism and helped modernize Vietnam.
@@godowskygodowsky1155 I have read about the Vietnam war started starting from the war against France, Kudos to your people Just know, despite the brutality, the Vietnamese were not carried off as slaves for a continues period of 400 years. Further your resources are not contributing to France till today. The French are not about to invade Vietnam as we write are they?
While recognizing whatever they did to you, I feel it is unfair to bring it up in the evil they are still doing to their former African colonies. France survives today because of their former African colonies and they know it. Their former President even said so Nicholas S.
@@innocentodinkemere4597 Yes, I agree. Colonialism was different in each place it occurred, and it affected the colonized peoples in different ways. I differ from the original poster on this matter.

If colonies were not economically advantageous for France then they wouldn't try so hard to keep them. This whole video reeks of a biased eurocentric history.
@@fayguled900a few things
•”Eurocentrism” is always an accusation thrown around by leftists to somehow discredit historical study and yet I don’t know why. It is natural that Europeans would research their own history. It isn’t their fault that others are incapable of doing this
•Economic motivation isn’t the only motivation for maintaining colonies. Instead of, as leftists always do, making up a fantasy in your head about whether the colonies were economically advantageous or not, you should look into this topic
@@fayguled900 idk they willingly gave up the damn colonies which isn't something any empire had ever done in the history of humanity (as far as im aware)
@@caroline7648 You think France willingly gave up their colonies? You can't possibly be serious Haha. They were forced into it because of nationalism rising in the colonies, the impact of WW2 weakened France substantially and they couldn't afford to re-establish their control in all their respective colonies and finally because of international pressure and the new established UN with their goal of self determination for every nation made sure to end colonization.
Poorer;France wouldn’t be as prosperous
Every society when strong enough expands. How did people get so ignorant and/or devious?

According to a number of media reports here in Russia, by the way, I'll talk about this in detail on my channel in the next update, the country's Ministry of Defense is creating special groups to deal with Western tanks supplied in Ukraine, that is, we can probably say with certainty that it's only a matter of time now and Western tanks will also be in the hands of Russian design bureaus and, subsequently, Russian military museums.
👍👌

@@LevanGudadze keep coping comrade. even if you did get hands on them, youd never be able to recreate them. how are those t14s doing for example
So what they're saying is that they weren't training to fight western tanks before this??
Piketty made the calculation. At the peak of the colonial period, in the 1910s, GDP of French was generated at 85-90% from France itself, and 10-15% from colonies. But the French upper class made around 40% of their income from colonies, where they could monopolize the benefits of the plantations, industry and trade much more easily, depriving the natives of 50% of their production to sell it abroad.
So no, colonies were not essential to France's growth and progress. But yes, colonies were a significant part of the wealth of the upper class.
Overall, slavery has never been a very effective means of production in the first place so any colony that utilized it was in for short term gains and in for a lot of long term turbulence and sunk costs.

0:09 The reason he said “Probably wealthier” is probably because it coasts a lot to run a colony and France had a lot of failed colonies. At least that’s what I think what he meant.
As some other have pointed out, if you taking into account the cost of the armies, the infrastructure, the medicine, etc. and the limited income from taxes, to the nation operating a colony the colony is operating at a loss. Sure, it's making a few people very wealthy, and those people are passing some of that to the people than enable them (for example, directly to the King's coffer) but for the nation as a whole the colony is often a losing proposition. This is why relatively small countries did not colonize despite having the troops and technological advancements to do so - they didn't have the tax base to support the cost, and those that did try ended up being worse off.
@@garrick3727 You cannot have it both ways. If one cannot state the economic gains another cannot state the loses. And how sick is it that you didn't gain anything at all, yet want to have dominion over foreign soil? Some pretty crappy leadership.
It's not really a matter of failed colony, by sub-saharan African colonies were rarely profitable in general (apart from particular cases, for example South Africa, which had a large euro population anyway). Natural ressources could help, but well.
You also have a lot of parasites that can claim citizenship, they ultimately become criminals, or like the UK, civil servants.

Exactly! No civilization can colonize others without the "help" of the natives. India is also a good example for this.

Not only white people, but also the Western Europeans themselves (at least the ones living West of the Rhine) got colonized by the Romans, who themselves would later on get destroyed by the Germanics, Arabs and Turks among others.
But nonetheless, while these people present their arguments in a wrong way, it's clear that colonialism, wars and all are bad and cause suffering for everyone. And it's particularly important to understand European colonialism because European powers came to rule most of the world, and for better or worse, we're still living in the aftermath of European colonialism.
