This has been amazing. I'm kinda disappointed that some smaller scale Thalassocracies, like pre-colonial Brunei, ancient Liburnia or medieval Tonga weren't included, but an amazing video anyways.
They were relatively small or in their time there were much larger thalassocracies than that. I stayed on the most important each period otherwise it would be very complicated
@@CostasMelas You're right but I think the criteria you use to define a thalassocracy are a bit confusing: you left out Japan for example, it's kinda surprising and it's hard for me to figure why (too small fleet? didn't last long enough?) so I would like to hear your explanations to what you counted as a thalassocracy.
@@sylvali1046 I'm sorry, but Japan was an insignificant pirate nation (a bit like the disparate Vikings), the Korean admiral Ri Sun Sin defeated the Japanese in all the 23 naval battles he fought. The Chosun dynasty of Korea is sometimes described as a thalassocracy. exploredprk.com/history/ri-sun-sin/ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wokou - Adûnâi
I was honestly expecting to see the Malabar Coast of India coloured as Roman sphere of influence, at least after the adoption of Judaeo-Christianity. (And also maybe the Chosun dynasty of Korea, they are famous for defeating the Japanese pirates). - Adûnâi
lmao have you ever read history? Romans never landed on Malabar, they were at best way more exaggerated by Euro centric historians. Even today Only 2.3% Indians are Christians and Christianity never gained any popularity here just because it's a fucking cult that no one cares about.
By 200 BC the Indian kingdoms were having regular interchange with Southeast Asia, and by 100 AD the Chola Kingdom was already quite dominant in Sumatra and Burma, a thalassocratic kingdom. How come this is not in your map? The same could apply to Han China, which was already sending maritime emissaries to Japan and Korea by around 100 AD too. It even sent a few explorers west via the Indian Ocean sea routes to explore this mysterious empire of the Romans...
Thank you for the additional information. Han Dynasty generally is not famous about the maritime achievements, it is famous mainly about its continental expansion and supremacy in Central Asia
should've included the Tongan Empire as well, some other island civilisations were impressive too, like the Kingdom of Hawaii, maybe Tahiti, or the Saudeleur Micronesians, they all had some sort of inter island power
Even tho there are nations who sailed the oceans of the world but still for me the greeks are the original thalasocrasy. A nation of islands and coasts
I think it’s just a way to refer to the territories under the crown of Aragon, like Iberia is used to refer to the Spanish and Portuguese territories. I think it makes sense when talking about maritime empires, since Aragon is in fact the only region in the entire kingdom that has no coast, while the maritime power was located in Barcelona and Valencia, which were culturally not Aragonese
@@javiergraciaperez6901 Some people do call it that, apparently: Finland and Poland. I'm guessing the author of the video is from a country that calls Aragon "Aragonia".
If a nation has the ability to sail in the mediterranean sea and the Persian gulf or red sea via suez canal then you will gain a considerable amount of wealth and influences in the world trade and economic affairs thus many nations tried to become the gateway between the east and west
People forget how insanely important the Navy is to the US. Arguably the most important branch. So much so we had to split a section from them to be Marines, and even with an Air Force the Navy still maintains many aircraft and pilots
Samoothiri of Calicut were the real Thalassocracy between 700c to 1500c and had controlled the world Spice Trade. Samoothiri means Lord of the Seas, a great maritime force under Kunjali Marakkar. They belonged to later Chera Chola Pandya dynasty of South India who were the pioneer thalassocracies.
By 1000 AD kingdoms on the east African coast, like Zanzibar, Lamu and Mozambique (the country was named after this kingdom), were already quite dominant, conquering ports and strategic islands in the Comoros and Seychelles, up and down the African coast, and north to the coast of Oman. Where are these thalassocratic kingdoms?
Norway from 800 to 1400; "Hey I'm getting pretty good at this seatrading thing, wonder how much else there is out there" 1500's Iberians; "Imma end this mans whole career!"
@@CostasMelas That's completely untrue. The Horn of Africa and the Red Sea were firmly in the sphere of influence of the Aksumite Empire. They even had their own currency system and coin hoards have been discovered as far away as India. In fact, The Sassanids themselves claimed that to be the case as well. Prophet Mani of the Sassanid Empire said that Aksum was among the 4 greatest Empires in the world, only rivaled by Rome, Persia, and China. You are unapologetically Eurocentric in all of your videos and too delusional to admit it.
Parthian empire missed it was the greatest which had connection with china and ruled world 500 years more than Sassanids i feel bad you missed it,it’s like showing Roman Empire without showing roman republic,sassanids were successors of parthian empire,you also misssed Median empire which achaemenids were their successors and all of them were Iran.
I wonder what was happening in the Indian Ocean, Indonesia and in Melanesia micronesia and Polinesia from 1700 b.c. and before. I've been told that indonesias colonized Madagascar I wonder when that happened, and from the caribbean sea named before the native sea expansionist family of peoples, I wonder if there is some information in ancient maya documents...
Based on the unconcealed ignorance on Sub-Saharan African history in your metallurgy and civilization videos, I don't know why I came here hoping to see Kilwa, Ajuraan, or Aksum. :(
You didn't even fill in the Spanish lake, and by that even limited to the Manila galleon routes and other explorations and areas under Spanish influence which were practically Spanish just as a British desert no Brit set foot on most of the year could be considered British. Inaccurate. Disliked.
But where is the Soviet Union? With aircraft carriers, nuclear submarines and the longest contiguous coastline of any country spanning baltic sea, the arctic all the way to the pacific I think this country was kind of important.
Costas Melas correct your video Roman empire never influenced Yemen and never had control of Arabian sea it was only under persians and arabs romans themselves struggled to reach Yemen and you think they got control of red sea and arabian sea ???? thats false plus you forgot to show that mamluk sultanate had control of many trad sites in India
You forgot to mention the Parthian empire, Turkish Seljuk Empire, Persian dynasties after Arab invasion with vast territories, Safavid and Afsharid Empire the last formidable in Iran.
