Could you please make a video about the Spanish-Moroccan war in the Rif north of the Kingdom of Morocco
If you research who's behind this rewriting of history it's all Rothchilds front man George Sorros, this division and lies are all pushed by zionist Jews again.
Hey history Legends. Can you make a video on what would it be like if Africa Unites, has a currency that is backed by it's enormous resources and what it would mean for the rest of the world when that happens 😊

As a Spaniard, I'm waiting for the Arabs to apologize to the Visigoths, after the Visigoths apologize to the Romans, but only after the Romans apologize to the Celt-Iberians, unless of course the Celts don't apologize to whoever they colonized.

“The African kingdoms were so poor at the time”
Mansa Musa of Mali: **Am I a joke to you?**
richness is not just pile of gold. hardly any global market for it back then. I think id be more accurate in terms of technology and food etc. In that case ...
@@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"

I am an American and I can’t tell you how happy it makes me to see other people from Western countries fighting against the rewrite of history. These people teach such a reductive account of historical events. We must stand together to teach the truth of Western history.
So colonialism, genocide of the native americans and making millions of people slaves are not true things?😂 Is Earth flat either ??😂
@@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.
Africa had more slaves than the Americas. In fact..
They still have slaves.

@@italo8995Such crap. There was no Indian genocide. And the slaves were sold by their own. And without us. You wouldn't enjoy the luxuries you have now.
@@italo8995that’s not what he said or meant. You obviously did not watch the video
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...
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
@@dalitsobanda1032 You started the campaign to end slavery?? When? Who? Where is the evidence of this?
@@dalitsobanda1032 can't give yourselves credit either then otherwise you'll be contradicting yourself. Assuming you are speaking fact of course (which I doubt)
@@dalitsobanda1032 who was enslaving you back then it wasn't the British because the British never entered central Africa untill long after slavery was abolished world wide by the British,it was the British who stopped slavery in central Africa.
They stopped it because they moved to steam power. Not having a country? Well time to look up Benin city and other African kingdoms and Empires. I don't see anything good in being pushed back to the back of the room. Thank God we can go back to being us again.
As a Bulgarian, who’s well aware of the 500+ years of ottoman colonization, I appreciate this HONEST video about history. 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. 😅

We destroyed the Ottoman Empire. Yes, you are welcome.
@@nationalistcanuck7800 uhhh no you didn’t. Canada had nothing to do with ottoman or Balkan history. I seriously, have no clue what you’re talking about.
@@Annatomova7 your thinking of the all European are all the same is the reason why Europe is in the Ukraine mess at the moment. when Russia invaded Ukraine, the whole narrative from the European people made it seem as if Russia invaded France, Germany, Bulgaria or Italy. You may not know this but your thinking is problematic because you take offense to matters that doesn't involve you. 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? Just look at Russia right now. At least they are sovereign and don't have to listen to others. The Russians even consider themselves Eurasian.
@@titaniumskunkogkush4365 what the hell are you talking about? I never said I supported foreign wars, at all. I’m literally against foreign intervention.

Gladly entered the war. 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.
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)
As an Irishman, I'm waiting for an apology from basically everyone
Same, but I’m also Korean (and a teeny bit Jewish). If everyone who oppressed/colonized my ancestors pays reparations, I’ll be set for life.
"Woke" used to mean being aware of corporate agendas. Now it seems to mean being part of a corporate agenda.
yes, it has been co-opted, plagiarized and corrupted so the political wings of the culture vulture can use it. For me it is being past waking.
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.
Yes. There's awake - being awake to the lies of the leftist propaganda - then there's WOKE - the leftists ALINSKYSPEAK inversion of the truth.
People want to feel as if they pertain to a higher sense of virtue or morality, regardless of any knowledge.
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.
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.
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
@@user-ex9me7fd6o 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.
@@user-ex9me7fd6o 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.
This is awesome info man, I will definitely be checking out any other historical videos you have and possibly sharing them.
Same thing with Portugal on brazil
Many brazilians today ask to portugal to give back their gold when in fact many of it was being trade ilegal and portugal just taxed 20% of tue gold, where much of it was used to invest in Brazil itself
Maybe that black market they created shows the nowadays situation of brazil politicians and corruption where taxes are almost 50% yet some of the gold that was taxed 20% is still the problem for them...
exactly, common folks in Portugal were doing their own things, the people who migrated to Brazil were the wealthy investors ready to grab pieces of lands and riches not the people staying in Europe, also the fact that they bring this to descendants of the common folks probably having their ancestors being farmers, fishermen etc.. just ridiculous ahha
Fun fact the Dutch didn't partake in the scramble for Africa because they calculated all colonies with the exception of Indonesia operated at huge losses.
Is it true

@@t3333beats it is true profit motive was not the main reason for colonisation. It was mostly about prestige and military reasons.

Dutch did colonise South Africa, and kept slavery longer than the British. They were just less successful at it, not idealism or profit
Isn't the rewriting of history also a form of colonialism? Doesn't that mean that "woke" efforts/ideology is just another form of colonialism?

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.
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.

Also, in western European history race and dehumanizing the enemy is done throughout the centuries. It takes a different process in other places in the world.

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 end of colonization in Guinea, 1958. Huge difference. Nobody lived through the Muslim rule of Iberia or the Ottoman Siege of Vienna, but people still alive today lived through French colonization.
the removal from all greeks from out of anatolia is 1920's. But then again its hard to define at one point was is colonization and what not . Comes a moment it just blends . Are muslims in Bosnia Colonial Remnants of Ottomans ? Is turkey, relatd to turkic tribes half the planet away , a colonial remnant ?

@@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 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.

I'm Indonesian and i agree with you that colonialism also exist in many civilization
BUT
The form of colonialism that was done by european and arabs are not the same as colonialism that happened in other part of the world.
Take my country for example.
In the past, kingdoms and sultanates that today become Indonesia are colonizing one and the other. But, this form of colonization are not meant solely for the prosperity of the colonizer. Instead, it's for common prosperity of the entire teritory including the colony
Colonialization that practiced in ancient indonesia are more to a fights between ruller to controll or conquer other ruller or parts of the teritory.
In this type of colonialization, the livelihood of the common people are not disturbed. You can still work as usual, live as usual, and doing all your activity as usual. Only the difference is, your leader, law, country or government official changed
At some case, one kingdom colonized by other kingdom happened without a war. Simply the colonized kingdom decided that they will be part of other country for the sake of protection, without destroying their own government.
The famous majapahit empire practicing this kind of colonialization where smaller kingdom decided that they will declare them self loyal to majapahit and let majapahit take controll of them. In exchange, they will granted protection, wider access to trade and gain economic prosperity from majapahit

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.

@@mysterioanonymous3206 depends on what part of Vietnam you go to far north people like China more since they have some Chinese heritage and also Vietnamese New Year is a thing which is also takes place on Chinese New Year
Because Asians are suck ups to White Europeans, with the exception of North Korea and China.

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.
I live in Cambodia and the few people alive during French rule would prefer France come back.
I have to say, your content is absolutely without peer. I am so thankful I found your channel! This woke, Marxist, revisionist history that has been trending do so many years is untenable.
I can’t wait to dig into the rest of your videos!!!🎉
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.
She could have saved us all a lot of time and got straight to the point of her video...the reparations grift.

As a wealthy American embarrassed by my intelligence and work ethic I apologize to everyone and beg you not to hate me cause I’m beautiful.
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..
@@J_Madison I agree with you. Our schools spend so much time screaming democracy is good that they forgot to clarify *why* it is good. A large number of people aren't even fully aware about their rights, which basically provides the politician a free hand to violate them.
@@Progamermove_2003 The grand irony is Democracy as a form of government is terrible, which is why it hasn't been used in thousands of years now. Tyranny of the masses..
It's now been turned into this buzzword here in the US that means 'Anything I like is good and everything I hate is bad'.
You can do some real messed up stuff and call it 'democractic' and the masses just nod in unison..
Never apologize to neither hypocrites, nor morons
To quote a certain actor from the Phantom Menace. "The ability to speak doesn't make you intelligent."
hi nerdy history student over here! do you mind sharing a bibliography or the literature you're referencing? thanks
I’m worse off for having stumbled across this channel.
At this point, French colonial history deserves more of a series of videos than just a video .
weird thing is: the french were the only one who respected the Native Americans
@@supermaximglitchy1 that depends who's side they was fighting for, many loyal to the crown aswell who was rewarded for their loyalty, the brits wouldn't have sharp shooter or riflemen who dressed in green if not for the natives...
Might be epic, Africa is a fascinating land but the wokes will never allow this
@@supermaximglitchy1 there were so many French men living with Native american women in Canada it actually gave birth to whole new tribe (metis nation)
@@supermaximglitchy1 What about the History-Videos by 'Some More News'?
Ya know, stuff that is actually universally-accepted by Historians?
Him saying “Need..to..colonize!” cracked me up lol.
Ofc it did you’ve never experienced the effects of colonialism. Something this whole video act like doesn’t exist. 😂 Where are the third world countries again? Y’all need to feel shame fuck all that stop white guilt shit when I see these type of videos it only shows me you don’t want to learn and if y’all could y’all would repeat history cause some of you truly believe this history is righteous.
It would be good to add some sources for further reading
With cost of “black gold” at 15-23 dollars per barrel, the USSR economy collapsed, and the sovok itself collapsed, and the "golden" horde ("russia") budget can only be fulfilled only with oil price at $ 42.4 and higher

How much you offering?

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
Nothing because American history is completely stinky lol@@FredrickWilhelm-ph1jb
@@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.
@@queuedjar4578okay but that was they’re land, America belonged to native Americans which whites brought diseases and stole. Y’all will just make any excuses to make your ancestors look beautiful
