    The queen Blackthorn refers to is Elizabeth I. This is at the end of her reign.

  • @user-zx9jq4pv1w
    @user-zx9jq4pv1w 3 місяці тому +79

    The Letters of Marque came from the Dutch so Blackthorn's ship is acting as a mercenary warship for the Dutch who are in the middle of their own rebellion to throw off Spanish rule over their country. The English had 12 years before fought off the Spanish Armada which was going to depose Elizabeth I. So there is a lot of Protestant vs Catholic politics going on in this scene.
    The flux is dysentery. A serious problem not understood in Blackthorn's time but they were aware aware of the correlation between public common water use like communal baths or water in crowded areas being connected to disease so people might avoid things like baths altogether. Especially if they lived in cities or tight communal spaces like a ship or army camp.

    In Japan, ppl believed that the Emperor was a descendant of Amaterasu, a goddess of the sun, and he had this divine element in him. The Emperor was, in theory, the most important person in Japan but in real life, he held no power. But he could have done one thing, that no other could do: he could grant the title of the Shogun (that held all the power). Taking into consideration that receiving this title from the Emperor is like being anointed by the gods, being a descendant of the old bloodline of the Shoguns is a big deal. Especially since no other Toranaga rival has such a position. The bloodline is in this situation really important factor.

    They speak English because its easier for the audience, if this was an 100% correct the show would be fully subtitled, since only Portuguese, Japanese and Dutch were spoken. John is the only english in the show, so unless he was inner speaking, he wouldn't use english. Also the treaty refered in the episode was real, and it was called Treaty of Tordesillas, signed in Spain, on 7 June 1494, and dividing the world between Portugal and Spain. During this period Portugal, controled most of the African and Asian ports, and they were a global empire... soon to be replaced by the English and the Dutch.

    Maria is probably Mariko's Christian name. Spanish Catholic colonisers gave us Christian names when they took over our country, the Philippines. I imagine thats what the Portuguese are also doing; replacing Japanese names with Christian names.
    Protestants believe that the Catholic church is the original Christian religion but has been corrupted over time. Also, the head of the Catholic church is the Pope, whereas the heads of the English protestant church is the King/Queen and the Archbishop of Canterbury.

    The reason Japan only traded with the Netherlands in Europe during the Edo period was because Japan had promised the Netherlands not to establish suzerainty over Christian missionaries.

    This isn't show spoiler since it wasn't covered on the show but basically Goroda (who was based on Nobunaga) was the first to subjugate Japan and become the head honcho. Except he got assassinated by one of his own general. Suddenly there was a power vacuum and civil war. The 2 biggest successful generals out of it was Nakamura and Toranaga who were both master tacticians. Nakamura then offered Toranaga a deal to join him to take over the rest of Japan instead of fighting (this was the small tidbit about their meeting and talking about shitting in the same pot, since they shared so many war campaigns as allies under Goroda).
    So after the war Nakamura became the Taiko and not Shogun because he was born a peasant. Now that he's dead, Toranaga was still feared because he's rich, got a huge army, is a military genius and though the 5 reagents were suppose to maintain the peace, they all felt threatened by him because he actually had the bloodline to become shogun. It didn't help that Toranaga kept increasing his fief through marrying off sons and daughters and getting other noble houses to swear under him. So that's basically why, they wanted to kill him while they could before he grew too big for them to defeat even in a 4v1.

      This is why it is so damn stupid and historically ignorant that, in our modern time, people refer only to Caucasian European folks as colonizers, when the truth is that EVERY goddam country and race in the entire world has been colnonizers at some point in history, until very recently.

      It had to do with access to clean water.
      After the fall of the Roman Empire, Europeans tended to bath less because their access to clean water was limited. The majority of the bath houses and clean water sources were destroyed when the Roman Empire fell. So, most Europeans were left with water sources that were unclean.
      Unclean water sources are also the reason why alcohol was commonly consumed over water, due to the fermentation process of alcohol making it safer to consume than water. Which is why during this time period children regularly drank alcohol, because drinking water could cause dysentery and other illnesses.

      Because progressive liberal Americans believe the British Empire were the main evil colonizer of the world, they recast the Europeans from being Portuguese, Spanish, and Dutch to being all British. Makes total sense, since historically there was only one person from the British Empire in Japan during that time period depicted in Blue Eye Samurai.
