    The Spanish history is epic! I bought an Atlas book of Spanish Explorers and Conquistadors, and is definitely one of the best books I've ever had. It is a huge crime for the world to have forgotten the fascinating stories of men such as Vicente Yáñez Pinzón, Vasco Núñez de Balboa, Juan Sebastián Elcano, Andrés de Urdaneta, etc.
    One has to be aware that Spanish history told by English, French, Dutch and German sources, in many occasions is tainted by Hispano-phobia. This is false propaganda/fake news about the Spanish Crown created by its European rivals of the time. This historic phenomena is thoroughly explained by historian and Harvard professor - Dr. María Elvira Roca Barea in her book - Empire phobia and the Black Legend. Great vid - Really enjoyed it!

    This is so fascinating. No other time in history is as epic as the encounter of the Old World with the New World. And just to top it off, after years of genealogical research, I have found out that my 15x great-grandfather was in one of Narvaez's expeditions... luckily the one to Mexico and not Florida.

    Great video - absolutely loved it! I've been reading a lot about the Spanish conquistadors lately and feel so robbed that I didn't learn more about this time period during my school years. The stories to come out of it are so epic and engrossing, and it's almost unbelievable that they actually happened. For those interested in some book recommendations, I highly recommend "Conquistador" by Buddy Levy (about Cortes, Montezuma, and the Aztecs), "The Last Days of the Incas" by Kim MacQuarrie (about the Pizarro brothers, the Incas, Atahualpa, and Manco Inca), "River of Darkness" by Buddy Levy (about Francisco Orellana, the Amazon, and Gonzalo Pizarro), and "A Land So Strange" by Andrés Reséndez (about Cabeza de Vaca and the Narvaez expedition). All of these stories have really stuck with me.

      Los nativos, como los Txalcaltecas, fueron claves en la conquista de nuevas tierras en América para el Rey de España. No todos los nativos fueron enemigos, muchos se aplicaron por causas políticas, y otros aceptaron el choque de civilizaciones de forma más o menos pacífica. Otros seguían luchando cuando el Imperio cayó.
      Deberías informarte mejor, hay miles de historias que contar acerca de la conquista de América mucho más alla de las simplicidad de la leyenda negra. Sin indígenas, Hernán Cortés nunca habría entrado en Tecnoxlican. No Pizarro en Cuzco.

I wonder what all training they had to go thru to learn all these skills did they learn in the Spanish Navy? They had to do hunting, boat building, navigation, fighting, marching long distances.

Yes, the gold was partially spent to fund universities and infrastructure for the Spaniards in the New World, but a LOT of it was spent on the Spanish Armada, which was wiped out by the British in 1588. The Spanish also used the gold/silver of Mexico and Peru to fund their lavish palaces across Spain and the New World... Also, yes, the Spanish did import African slaves.

Les dejamos nuestra sangre, nuestros nombres, nuestra religión católica, universidades, hospitales gratuitos, catedrales, carreteras. Intercambiamos cultura, alimentos, les llevamos los caballos, la rueda, el hierro, bronce, etc. Y la cultura grecorromana y la árabe que antes tambien nos habian traido a España nuestros antiguos invasores.

      Typical fallacy of the black legend.

      By definition, to discover something it has to preexist.
      It is called a discovery because the Native Americans who lived in America for thousands of years before did not know how or where their continent was, and the rest of the world was unaware of the existence of America. It was the Spanish who discovered, mapped and placed them in the world of their time.

In addition, over the centuries, the populations of the reconquered territories, if they did not want to be Christians, fled to the south, so that in the end the majority were in Al Andalus. Even so, only on average 7% of the population have Arab or North African ancestry. The Muslims did not replace the populations they conquered, they became the ruling class. The same happened throughout North Africa and today the population is more or less the same as before the spread of Islam. That is why they could expand so quickly because their tactic was to convert to religion and then unite to conquer more territories with the warriors of the populations that they had already conquered. The brown skin color predates the Arabs, because the Celtiberians were here, who were a mixture between Celtic and Iberian tribes from North Africa. In addition to the Phoenician, Greek colonies, etc. in different parts of the Iberian Peninsula. The same happened with the Romans, who despite belonging to the empire hardly mixed with the natives. I also have to say that after the expulsion of Jews and Muslims, quite a few went to live in the colonies of America, apart from those who went to the Ottoman Empire and North Africa. In addition, at that time, purity of blood prevailed when it came to obtaining titles or reaching important positions in the Royal Court. Those who descended from those who took refuge in the north, in what was called the Kingdom of Asturias, were considered full-blooded Spaniards. So most of the conquerors came from there, that's why there are so many Basque surnames.
