💬 *Bonus reading:* A fact that couldn’t make it into the video is that the Isabela colony was the scene of so much horror that some consider it to be haunted. As Samuel Eliot Morison put it in his biography Admiral of the Ocean Sea A Life of Christopher Columbus… “As early as Las Casas’s day the ruins were said to be haunted. Terrible cries were heard by hunters who approached the place, and once in a deserted street a benighted traveler met two caballeros booted and spurred with swords by their sides and cloaked like courtiers of olden time, who on being saluted returned his courtesy with low and sweeping bows; but their heads came off with their hats, and their bodies disappeared. So men avoided the site of Isabela, and today it is a pasture by the sea with only a few stones above the ground to show that once it was the capital city of the Spanish Indies.”
Happy to hear this
I do it now OR ILL START A RIOT
Wow, I went into these two videos totally expecting to see the usual one-sidedness of either side. But to my surprise, this video had not depicted Columbus as either hero, nor villain, which actually makes it all the more believable. I hate one-sided stories, and I'm glad someone is willing to match one side to the other to make a full coin.
@@terrariankitsune3732 it's almost as he presented the facts with in their context of their time and will let you decide.
@@skatingfreak1670 That's what I'm saying. My point is I had to work to find this video. Every other video I've seen depicts as just another bad guy or another great guy. But this one shows many of the perks and flaws of his character.
OK whatever your opinion on Columbus. That bit with the eclipse was downright genius.
Funnily enough that same event served as an inspiration for some old adventure novel/comic called "Tintin" centuries later, when I first heard what Columbus did it sounded very close to what was done in the book. I agree it was a pretty smart move on his part and likely extended their chances at surviving longer.
@@enclavesoldier8893 it’s also mentioned in A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court
No matter his atrocities getting the longitude to within half a degree is down right impressive by todays standards, let alone in his era
Neil Degrasse Tyson explained this to Joe Rogan in his podcast
"My God is greater than your God, and to prove this, he will curse you all"
Columbus was a mad genius 😂
Yeah, it scared the shit out of the natives!
I like how you give Columbus a more nuanced portrayal than most historians or textbooks do.
His actions come across more as incompetence and bias than just wanton greed and malevolence, even if never entirely.
He was a man in the end. A excellent seaman and explorer, but a shit colonist and administrator. But overhaul i think his achievements overshadow his failures.
I was unaware of the existence of the Taino save as a language family. Indeed, I remembered Columbus as having first made landfall on Hispaniola, and knew of the Arawak and Carib tribes, but not the Taino.
Nuance in the discussion of history is unfortunately so rare as to count as nearly mythical. Just a few months ago, I was pointing out on Reddit that, contrary to popular belief, it was a generation of exploitation and bullying by the Entente powers, not merely the Treaty of Versailles itself, which fueled and, to the German mind, justified German revanchism in the 1930’s. For which I was labeled a Nazi booster and banned from Reddit for 31 days.
On the 29th day of my exile, the Israelis did a new mean thing to the Palestinians, and the Interwebs were filled with calls for revenge against the Jews and claims that FMM did nothing wrong. I waited until the end of my exile, then pointed out that what I had said implicitly-that Ordinary Men, given the right upbringing and motivation, could easily support if not outright demand the commission of atrocities-had been hereby proven explicitly. (I added a judicious “Checkmate, atheists!”, dropped the mic, and left).
He came. He saw. He slaughtered. (Both the natives and quite frankly more than half his crew)
Countryball vomiting with blood was not something that I wanted to see today.
It was something you needed to see.
@@SiegfriedVonKrause Yes
No one wanted that
Me too
That hanged ball was also something I didn't expect, nor wanted to see today
Actually a very fair portrayal of the whole affair, I'm continuously impressed by this channel
i imagine ezekiel made this part 2 first just so he could make the governor joke at the end about leaving the czechoslovaks stranded
Yoo ondry
I'm sad for what happened to the tainos because unlike the caribs, they were peaceful and not canibals.
Using solar eclipses to fuck with people, Octavian would approve.
I suppose that this video shows that Columbus was, in all his glory and all his flaws, but a man, like anyone else.
There was no glory but yes
@friedrichnietzsche7376 Yes there was. Colombus' life is one worthy of eternal recurrence
10:34 im genuinely shocked they even survived in such a small boat! theyre lucky theyre ship didnt sink or starvation didnt get them.
@GigiGiga yeah the spread of the polynesians was an incredible feat, but putting achievenments like this off as luck isn't fair. It was skill, experience and planning.
@@deviousalemanni4235But these weren’t Polynesian?
What I really appreciate about this series is that Ezekiel _actually_ mentions some of the awful things that the native tribes did to each other and their own.
A lot of _"progressive"_ commentators tend to leave these parts out and portray all natives as a singular group of "Nobel Savages".
An ethical evaluation of this time period was largely a race to the bottom, and the natives had a head start.
this is one of my favorite videos currently
you paint Columbus in a new light where it shows the great things he accomplished but didn't shy away from the bad things he did
amazing
I’m going to need some context on the Catholic schoolgirls part.
The Catholic church prioritized education and social work to gain as many converts as possible.
The Japanese have fetishized school girls (particularly in Catholic style school attire).
Fill in the blanks. It's a 21st century joke.
@@soffren Yeaah. Then just blame the Japanese.
@@redskull8354 if you want a more complicated explanation, you can blame American GIs for introducing Japan to comics and animation, but I was trying to make a point quickly.
History is complicated, and so is low brow humor.
Yeah, me too. I mean, I fully support the idea, but I'm uncertain as to why it was brought up.
11:10 one of the earliest examples of “trolling the natives”
Columbus Was a genius for taking advantage of the solar eclipse
Sounds like Christopher Columbus did the best he could with the knowledge and resources he had.
As a latino colombus to me is a conflicting figure. When reading his own journal, i cannot help but wonder at his account. The way he describes the new world makes it sound like a mythical place. A land and a people so alien to him yet so beautiful that he some times felt as if he were in paradise. He linked the americas to the rest of the world, not only europe but africa and asia too. His journey gave birth to the modern world, and catapulted europe to greatness. I doubt europeans would have dominated the world as they did without the riches of the americas, without its resources and land.
But it was this very journey what triggered one of the greatest tragedies in human history. A whole world was destroyed to create a new one. Entire cultures were wiped off, to the point that in some places historians are not even sure who lived in the land I now live.
To be fair most of those were wiped out accidentally
Trough Disease...
The plagues made the empires fall long before any troops reached their capitals and the lack of writing systems makes information gathering hard. Especially since certain groups that came there didn't have an interest in recording their unique cultures and history but rather to convert them
Humans are dumb
@@commisaryarreck3974 Although yes most natives were killed off through disease, you can't just attribute disease and lack of writing to the sole purpose of their cultural extinction. Native Americans (the ones that survived disease outbreaks from their tribes) were put into forced labor. The Spanish tried to force Natives into forgetting their culture which caused revolts, only to be crushed and forcefully assimilated. There is a multitude of reasons for the extinction of Native American cultures but the old Europeans ethnocentric ideas were the main driving force behind their extinction.
There was this feeling of romanticism about the Americas, in the beginning, that's why there was such a frenzy over it for the common person. The thought of leaving your shitty 15th-century town and traveling to a "new world" to face the unknown and to start a new life was very appealing.
@Matwell "A whole world was destroyed to create a new one. Entire cultures were wiped off, to the point that in some places historians are not even sure who lived in the land I now live."
Consider it in this way: The cultures and peoples that were living in the Americas would have been wiped out even if the Europeans had never found it. The various tribes living in the Americas were constantly warring with one another and wiping each other out. Erasing all traces of the people they conquered.
If the tribes of the Americas had to be conquered by someone then the best people they could have been conquered by were Europeans. In that if they had been conquered by anyone other than the Europeans, the American tribes would have been slaughtered down to the last child and absolutely nothing of them or their culture would remain on Earth today.
The coming of the Europeans resulted in the ending of that constant cycle of bloodshed, and because the Europeans came we do know SOMETHING of the old cultures and tribes. This as opposed to all trace of those tribes and cultures disappearing from the Earth and human memory forever. Hell some of the old cultures and tribes are still there and will likely be preserved forever.
@Lukas Lombardo You: "Everything to the right of Karl Marx is Nazism!"
I really wish you people would stop doing this. Mainly because I fear all Totalitarian ideologies, including Nazism. And if idiots like you keep calling everything you disagree with "Nazism" then it's going to have a Boy Who Cried Wolf effect. So when actual Nazis show up, no one is going to do anything about them because you've applied the term so broadly and to so many things, everyone will be desensitized to it and now consider it a problem. Stop being intellectually lazy.
Thanks for making justice to Columbus and the expeditions, those weren't nice to modern standards, after all even in Europe you could get saw in half (the long half at that) for speaking about common rights. It was brutal but not outright unholy as most people see it.
Let me guess, this was meant to release some time earlier but paradox history games are just too fun
Hey Ezekiel! Awesome video as always. About chicha, is not really our national drink. We're more of a beer country. Chicha is only drank on the Andian Region, but most Venezuelan had not tasted never in their lives. The hunger though, sad and true.
no thanks needed for that hoi4 reference guys ^ ^

3:11 is even a EU4 reference
"Columbus was mean!" -Man who has accomplished nothing and who will die forgotten by history
Stupid argument
I mean he did cause suffering to a lot of people.

7:16 Among other things, you forgot Heavy Piercing :P
(Gotta be honest tho didnt expect a hoi4 reference xD)
But great content as usual ^^
god ufkcing dammit, i really forgor to put it in, a realisation after 3 months
Ahhh can't wait to *discover* how this mad lad survives the real escapades!
Good Job man, great video, you are one of the few youtubers who make high quality content on this site.
Here we are !
is sad that this video got so little views, it is amazing
ahh the good old Solar eclipse trick, never gets old.
Good job giving emotion to balls chief
Finally a fair portrayal of the man
Your content is top tier.
You used these thumbnails to attract people who irrationally hate Columbus in order to tell them what actually happened from an unbiased point of view? Cunning!
The Chezks are still dead. Maybe we should find them.

This gives me EU4 vibes with the music
3:09 Vicky 2 reference!
Seems more like EU4 but it could also be Vicky 2
@@Johnyboi-fv7hl why not both ?
@@mangonel OH GOD WHAT HAVE YOU CREATED
Columbus was the ultimate mad lad
Aaahhhhh the eu4 soundtrack
A good overall protrayl but let me say this. Columbus was not a product of his time. His crimes against the natives were overall looked at by the church as heinous and overly genocidal and he was critiqued heavily which was another reason why the spanish royalty as well as other spanish governors weren't exactly the best allies to him
What a well put together video
Bravo! Great video man!
These videos are great
more new word stories man there fun and I've never known any of this stuff
8:17 Wait did that really happen? I don't mean to be nitpicky, but could you provide a source for that? Just so I don't get nuked for not citing my sources when I inevitably bring this up in the future
@@DS-hf9zb I'm gonna have to get me a copy then lol
Still waiting on it myself
This is pretty nice and I love your style!
Awesome video and very educational/entertaining. Great job.
Also could you do a video on the conquistadors. Cortez in particular.that should be interesting.
Is nobody gonna talk about the fact that the thumbnails of part one and two for this both line up perfectly into one image?
no i don't believe in looking at things and thinking about them
Great video! We need more
3:11 Lmfao the EU4 refrence
WOW ! what a HERO!

Fun Fact. A descendant of Columbus would eventually become viceroy of New Spain, fulfilling his ancestor's dream... only to die in less than a year of rule.
I was born too early to explore the star's born too late to explore the world.
13:48
Are there any philosophy videos due soon?
Seems like after that nervous breakdown Columbus changed quite a bit
Czech legion when?
Not a view I have seen before.
Kind of largely glosses over many key details that actually puts Columbus in a redeeming light.
Those terrible policies towards the natives for quotas and the like came after he lost the job as Governor, as he had executed Spaniards who formed a child sex ring, without any counsel by the Crown. Most of the headache came from those people executed being part of the Nobility.
This placed him in jail for some time and back to Spain, before being pardoned and sent to explore again.
Other things like the details of the Encomienda system and Columbus pushing the idea of natives as slaves are also interesting interpretations but quite contrary to other sources I've seen.
He certainly allowed brutal conditions being pushed by his men, rebels, and lack of command skills althroughout his governorship and various commands though. I just think its important to separate Columbus actions, the Crowns actions, and his mens actions.
