Armored conquistadors venture into Asia and battle against the famed samurai of Japan. These engagements include the Portuguese 1565 battle at Fukuda Bay and the Spanish 1582 Cagayan battles, in the Philippines. There are myths and counter-myths commonly spread about the Cagayan battles, which I’ve explained a bit here: docs.google.co...

I do stuff with history/archeology channels on Mesoamerica (Aztec, Maya, etc): There were 100% soldiers from Mesoamerican states participating in Spanish campaigns in the Philippines (and elsewhere in the Americas: Maya soldiers participated in Spanish conquests of the Inca in the Andes, and various groups in Spanish campaigns and founding colonies up in Texas and perhaps as far north as the Canadian border). Actual Mesoamerican stuff more my interest then the Spanish stuff but as a quick example, there are two documents in the same volume, one from pension request from a Spanish veteran in 1624, another a 1630 petition from the Cabildo of Tlaxcala (which was a notable Mesoamerican city-state and kingdom, the city actually being a republic ruled via a senate, and were probably the most important party in the fall of the Aztec's alongside Corte's expedition and the Aztec city of Texcoco) which discusses Tlaxcalteca soldiers recruited for a 1603 campaign in the Philippines, where apparently the Tlaxcalteca men were being mistreated by Spanish officers.
There is WAY more documentation on Mesoamerican troops participating in various Spanish campaigns and colonial efforts in the 16th and 17th centuries (later too, if you wanna consider them "Mesoamerican" rather then just Mexican that far after), but I'd need to dig into sources to provide more, since again, my thing is more Mesoamerican politics, city planning, architecture, water mangement systems, warfare, etc then Spanish campaigns and colonialism.... but hey, if you guys ever do episodes on Mesoamerican conflicts (We have a lot more documentation then you'd think on say wars between different Maya, Zapotec, etc states, or campaigns run by the Aztec Empire) or the Spanish conquest, I'd be down to help, time permitting! , if you wanna messag me on twitte, I'm Majora__Z
you don't need to point out any evidence since he's already a known fact. 99.9% of the troops that fought the aztec were other native americans who alligned themselves with the spanish because they were sick of being taxed and sacrificed by them.
@@ryennfilms6429 Nah, that's actually a misconception, the real reason Cortes (made alliances with so many local states in Mesoamerica is actually because the Aztec (and other kingdoms, empires) were HANDS OFF, not because they were oppressive: Due to the rough geography and a lack of draft animals, large states in Mesoamerica were fairly hands off, without the direct management and administration of subjects, founding of colonies, and instituting of a unified national/cultural identity: Political power was cemented more through fragile tax/tributary and vassal relationships, flaunting your military might, economic success, and ties to other legendary civilizations and kings to get states to align with you and suck up with political marriages, etc. Obviously, Eurasian polities did these too, and there still WAS some examples of more hands on imperialism in Mesoamerica.
But hands off and indirect imperialism and methods of establishing political power which much more the norm and were more fundamental in statecraft in the latter then the former. The Aztec Empire was no exception here, and it's primary goal in expansionism was to gain resource rich states as tax-subjects to extract goods and luxuries without expending direct effort, with those states keeping their rulers, laws, and customs and mostly being left alone, as long as they did pay those economic goods as taxes, didn't block roads, provided military aid on request, and other basic obligations.,etc. The Aztec were not coming in and raiding existing subjects (unless they incited others to stop paying taxes), nor were slaves or sacrifices a common tax/tribute demand: Sacrifices were generally from enemy soldiers captured during wars, and sacrifice itself was also a pan-mesoamerican practice every civilization in the region did, not just the Aztec.
Accordingly, what was really going on, as much or more then Cortes manipulating local states, was local kings and officials manipulating Cortes to benefit their own political ambitions: In a political system where subjects mostly stayed independent, they had the motivations and the capacity to secede, backstab, and preform coups opportunistically to sway or cause the house of cards they held up that their capitals rested on to collapse, so they could advance politically. Especially by allying or pledging themselves to another group (since again, as a subject they had little to lose) to then work together to take out existing political rivals or capitals, to then be in a position of higher standing in the aftermath. (The Aztec Empire itself was founded this way in the late 1420s) . For example, the city of Cempoala (and it's king Xicomecoatl), the capital of one of 3 major kingdoms of the Totonac civilization, and a recent conquered subject of the Aztec, lied to Cortes about there being an Aztec fort oppressing them at Tzinpantzinco, which was really a rival Totonaca capital city.
They then led the Conquistadors into the territory of Tlaxcala, one of the states in Central Mexico the Aztec hadn't manage to conquer yet, and which the Totonacs were hostile with. When the Tlaxcaltecas and the Conquistadors fought to a standstill and allied with one another (with different Tlaxcalteca officials like Xicotencatl I, Xicotencatl II, disagreeing on what to do, later on Xicotencatl II would end up being executed when a rival Tlaxcalteca politician got Cortes to execute him) en route to Tenochtitlan (as Tlaxcala was an active target of Aztec invasions and DID have resentment towards the Aztec), they stopped in Cholula, where the Tlaxcaltecas fed Cortes rumors of them planning to assassinate the visitors, and it just so happens that the Tlaxcaltecas end up propping up a pro-Tlaxcalteca political faction after they and the Conquistadors sack the city, after Cholula had recently switched from being aligned with Tlaxcala to the Aztec. Finally arriving at Tenochtitlan, Moctezuma II allows them into the city: Flaunting the grandeur of your city and it's opulence was a common method of courting a foreign state into becoming a vassal or an ally (to say nothing of the princesses they gave to high ranking conquistadors, an attempt at political marriages the Conquistadors mistook as offerings of concubines). When Pánfilo de Narváez arrived, who actually was sent by the governor of Cuba to arrest Cortes as he had been out on his expedition illegally, Narvaez actually worked with Aztec officials to get capture Cortes, since by this point they realized Cortes wasn't a licensed diplomat representing a foreign king.
It is only after 1. Cortes panics, Moctezuma II and other Aztec rulers and officials get captured, locked up (Cortes of course claims this happened earlier and he was always in control) and then are killed; 2. the Aztec nobles and elite warriors are killed while unarmed during a religious festival; 3. smallpox broke out, and 4. the Conquistadors and Tlaxcalteca flee back to safety; that then other core-Aztec states inside the valley like Texcoco (the second most powerful Aztec city), Chalco, Xochimilco, Itzpalapan, etc ally with Cortes. Because by then, Tenochtitlan was weak, vulnerable due to it losing it's elite soldiers, its king (always a period in Mesoamerican history where subjects would stop paying taxes and see what they could get away with untill the new ruler re-asserted their military power), and struck by plague. Furthermore, these also made Tenochtitlan unable to project it's power and wield its political authority; and by extension, said core subject states inside the valley didn't benefit as much from the tax influx into the area (which was secured by the threat of retaliation if taxes weren't paid, something currently jeopardized) or their political marriages with Tenochtitlan at the moment, de-valuing their close relationship with it. (Ixtlilxochitl II of Texcoco also had a grudge against the Mexica of Tenochtitlan, as in a recent war of succession after the prior Texcoca king died, the Mexica favored a competing heir as the claimant to the throne, so when the Conquistadors and Tlaxcalteca returned to the valley to siege Tenochtitlan, Ixtlilxochitl II, who had split power with other heirs, sided with Cortes wheras other Texcoca royals sided with Tenochtitlan)

I honestly would have allied with the Spaniards to defeat the Aztecs if I had been alive back then
I also really like the hispanic construction of viceroyalties
Actually as a Mexican I'm pro Spanish empire
Thank you so much for sharing this interesting insight! Greetings from México!
a lot of Mexicans and Latin Americans moved to the Philippines via the Manila-Acapulco galleon trade particularly on major port cities in Batangas and Pampamga.
There's a town called Mexico (Masicu) in Pampamga, formerly Nuevo Mexico. The Pinar del Rio province in Cuba was previously known as Nueva Filipinas. There's a significant Filipino genepool of inhabitants of Mexico's Guerrero province.

@Bryan Villafuerte Thank you!
For real history, and not mainstream superficial Disney versions of reality, see my series "Islam was invented by Jews" and "The British Empire Was NOT The Biggest."
Idiots count deserts but say oceans dont' count, which is hypocrisy and stupidity.
Wow, this is really high-quality, and even backed up with sources in the description. How have I never heard of this channel before? I’m definitely checking out more of their work.
love the effort you put into pronouncing spanish names properly, just a small details but i really like it
I do speak Spanish, so I hope they sound OK!
I literally started following you on Instagram. Can’t wait for next one. Love what you do man 👍🏽
The art, the narration, the soundtrack and the excellent writing. This has become my favorite history channel. The art alone stands head and shoulders above most others
Perhaps this is the busiest week i've had in the last 2 years - but nothing will stop me from watching History Dose ON TIME! Come hell or high water...
Great content! The 1582 Cagayan Battles are an event not known to many here within the Philippines, which is also perhaps one of few instances (including the attack in 1565 at Fukuda Bay, Japan) when Conquistadores and the Japanese Samurai fought each other, like two different worlds meeting with differences in weaponry, tactics, and ships.
It's also good that the diversity of the Wokou Raiders were emphasised in the video, since some think it's mostly a Japanese force, but it was multi-ethnic, composed of Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and some native Filipinos. The Chinese were known for piracy in this region, attacking the Spanish colonial center of Manila in 1574 that led to the death of veteran conquistador Martin de Goiti.
Superb art too. It illustrated many of the narrations in the video, and I appreciate that it's true to the environment and setting of the historical account, which gave life to the story.
Yep i've never met anyone in the PH who knows about this.
@@PaulJohn01
Yeah, it was never taught in schools at all, and perhaps, like some of us, learned it on our own. The first century of Spanish colonisation in the country was marked by a constant state of vulnerability (constant attacks by raiders and other colonial powers) which was not emphasised much in history classes.
@@DanielLee_2304 It's OK hard to keep on everything in the past, even I as a Brit didn't know we captured Manila from the Spanish and held it for 2 years.
Only found that out recently.
But yeah the lack of Historical sites/markers/monuments/battlefields in the PH is a bit disappointing.
Was in Cebu about 3 years ago , been there several times and on that visit the Lapu-Lapu statute was in poor condition and he's literally the most famous Historical figure i can think of.
@@PaulJohn01
Yes, I have noticed that too. There's a lack of markers for some historical events, and some markers are also usually obscured by things or people within sidewalks, you wouldn't know if you check carefully. The historical organization should really maintain these markers, like the one in Cebu you mentioned.
@@DanielLee_2304 In the UK there are many local/regional/national organizations responsible for maintaining and promoting various aspects of the UK's history.
Not sure what organizations exist in the PH though.
Yep hard to find things when they covered by signs/dirt/graffitti in urban areas ☹☹
History Dose gives a fresh new way of often unknown history through striking storytelling and beautiful art. Yet another intense and interesting story. Keep it up! 🙏
I genuinely get excited when I see a notification for this channel and my goodness the art and audio immersion never fails🙌🙌🙌Thank you
the quality of the illustrations is absolutely insane! it feels like reading some sort of game of thrones type of graphic novel but cooler and it's actual history

I have never been so immersed from a video. I only wish it was longer.
The art and audio quality is just superb, you deserve more recognition
As someone who studies Portuguese history in college, I have never heard or referred to our explorers as "conquistadores", but both are very similar so it is easy to understand this. I have heard the term "Aventureiros" more often which describes the military wing of seafaring gentry that fought in the terço-like formation that was adapted from the original Spanish formation, although this terminology was adopted in a later stage of the discoveries, but it was pretty much already established by the time Portugal had arrived to China.
Well ofc they called themselves adventurers and explorers, but were in fact thieves & conquerors. :D
@@SilverforceX Thieves as in trading precious resources that the natives had little to no use of in exchange for materials and tools that were, to us, cheap and disposable but to them were vital for grazing and working the land, most of the slaves that were acquired came from native warlords who sold them to portuguese traders (we were just taking advantage of an institution that was present and had already existed for hundreds of years since antiquity). As for conquerors, excluding the Feitoria system, mostly towards Africa and Brazil, albeit Brazil was in a later stage, it was a military scale operation, yes we were conquerors much like how any other european kingdom would've delighted themselves in taking that land for themselves.
@@SilverforceX And the pirates called themselves the liberators of your purses!
I got videos on how overrated Portugal is.
@@scintillam_dei Overrated? I thought it was the other way around most of the time.

At Fukuda, it was not only two European ships but also the navy of Omura Sumitada, which prevented the Matsura fleet to board and completely over run the Portuguese. The Matsura fleet was mainly composed by Sakai merchants turned into piracy, as stated by Frois himself.
The Japanese side of the story is never told, despite memorandum and letters of the events being present. If it was not for the men of Omura and the Fukuda ships stopping the Matsura ships, the Portuguese would have been killed due to the negligence of João Pereira, who did not listened to the Jesuits warning and allowed the Matsura to storm his ship.
The reference material which is (criminally) omitted by Hesselink for unknown reason is a paper written by Masaki Anno (安野異幸), "On the opening of the port city of Nagasaki
-From a point of view of Ebune's people living on the small boat, going ashore" (長 崎 開 港 史
一家船 の陸上が りの視点か ら). The reference includes the primary source in which Omura Sumitada praised the Fukuda's samurai for blocking the landing of Matsura's navy.
If you are studying Japanese history please make an effort to use at least Japanese sources once.
One of my favorite historical events with the Spanish venturing thru Southeast Asia. Interesting enough, this is one that in my eyes is not well known, but overall its incredible.
In addition, i learned from my mothers side of the family that Juan Pablo de Carrion is one of my ancestors.
That’s awesome
These recounts with the amazing art, transport you to 17th century Japan. Absolutely astounding 💎
I love the narration and art, it makes the video come together so well
Great channel! The immersive story telling and history makes it seem fantastical! Keep it up💪💪
Superbe quality as always, great narration, and I think particularly the paintings were outstanding. Amazing work.

Can you cover the Fall of Malacca empire to Portuguese in 1511, I there's no one does the narration and art like your channel, truly amazing and enjoyful!
Thats a minor incident in history. Nothing worth making a video for

Absolutely awesome video as always! The quality only keeps getting better here 🔥❤️
The Philippines sure has an interesting history and culture. It's geographical location and a melting pot of human interaction, migration, and colonization shaped it to have a very distinct culture.
From Chinese pirates, Malayan sultanates,native American warriors, Spanish conquistadors, exiled Japanese feudal warlord, to defecting African Americans during the US colonization. Seems like people from the world's continent has stories to tell that shaped the archipelago's identity today.
This results to a cultural peculiarity where some Filipinos are racially ambiguous with an English first name and Spanish surname and speaks Nahuatl and Chinese loan words.
Indeed
Filipinos are not racially ambiguous. Most of them are pure 100% Southeast Asians. Only a very small minority of Philipinos are descendents of Spanish noblemen that settled in the island (Mestizos)
That last line where the Spanish governor called the Chinese and Japanese people valiant gave me chills...
Could you make a video on the Hussite Wars? It is a short and not so well known period and I feel like it would fit perfectly with this channel's style of videos.
ANOTHER SAMURAI VIDEO!!!!!! IVE BEEN WAITING AGES
What is funny is that right under your video there is one by History Dose called "The Samurai vs Conquistador Battles"
how you narrate this bring a tear in my eye, its probably how oral history is passed down back then.
I just wrote a paper on this 2 months ago so cool to see it visualized. Specifically globalizations influence on East Asian islands from the 1500s
I absolutely love your channel. The narration and artwork. Well done.
Well, this is surprising. Samurais vs. Conquistadores. I will preprare my popcorn for this 😎🍿
Update: What an amazing video! Seriously, with you I learn new things on History. Thank you!
Who needs caffeine when I can start my day with a jolt from this video? Very nice. I've never thought of Samurai as being pirates before!
Absolutely fascinating. This shows the level of colonial competition between European powers at this time too.
It's hard to believe Spain was such a heavy hitter hundreds of years ago.. Now it's just a speck on the global stage...
Times change... I'm Portuguese and once upon a time we were freaking overpowered, probably even more than Spain? (I'm not sure) even knowing we never had huge army's.
But im proud of my country anyways, but it's sad that Portuguese people forget about what happened in the middle ages and don't give they're country enough credit, i truly believe my country is very underated, European history wouldn't be the same without Portugal.
So contrary to popular opinions and beliefs this would actually be the most realistic or historically accurate scenario since both sides existed at the same time and had actual interactions with each other
some of those who fought against Spanish forces in the Philippines might have been fallen samurai yes but mostly are foot soldiers or ashigaru who were both pikemen and musket riflemen who were lighter armor and their iconic hats. There's a statue of a famous Chinese pirate whose crew mispronouncing a native word for a clam my local area's name came to be that way. Limahong's ambitious to even try to take over Philippines with his pirate fleet (lol but why though? they didn't start as privateers as some did in the Americas before going into piracy, they really did do pirate stuff harassing their local areas though they were essentially pushed out, in the seas of South East Asia it was China who had the biggest and best fleet of their time or even their sailing tech, so fighting against at least remnant tech would've been a great experience).
En 1592 Toyotomi Hideyoshi (el unificador de Japón) envió al gobernador Gómez Pérez Das Mariñas un emisario pidiendo tributo y pleitesía a lo que el gobernador Español respondió diciendo lo siguiente: «Ve y dile a Taicosama (Toyotomi Hideyoshi) que los Españoles están acostumbrados a recibir tributos y no a pagarlos. Que tú señor haga primero la prueba del valor Español y sí le venciese en guerra, trátele entonces como se le trata a los vencidos». Toyotomi no tomó represalia alguna.

Hey History Dose, I just watched your episode on Henry Avery, and I was wondering if you could please make more videos about famous pirates and their history.
Holy crap. This is a WILD video. I love your channel. Always learn something new.
The video was awesome,but I want to note that the conquistadors do not rely exclusive on fire arms , because that was very hard to reload.
The european swordsmans and spikemans have their own style of fighting ,and a catana made in that era will probably brake at repeated contact with the european cross sword 🗡️
With the Toledo steel of Spain
Could you talk about the defense of Cartagena de Indias (it is one of the biggest defeats of the English empire)
Such a rich period of history, would love to see more media be if games or tv shows made about the Philippines at this particular time
Samurai vs Conquistador is like local police gang vs professional invasion force... Even in a melee battle, Samurai lack of equipments, tactic and training against one of the most infamous conquering armies in the history.
The people who appear in this battle are not samurai.
They are mercenaries called foot soldiers.
They are usually farmers.
Not a regular army, but pirates like the Vikings.
@Sanary Seggnate
Infamous? Stop believing the damn black legend. Anywhere they went, Spain let natives join them and gave them properties. You don't use logic, right?
@@javiersamuel8172 that doesn't make them any Less infamous. Hundreds of years later and people still know and talk about them,that Definitely means they're infamous.
As for their efficiency, even after Joining forces with local populations (which only means they were more intelligent and effective) they were almost always outnumbered and still almost always succeeded.
Although i wouldn't underestimate the Samurai as much. After all they had been fighting and successfully defeated the Mongols multiple times. Another of the most infamous invading forces of all time
"I watched tom cruise's last samurai hence i know everything about japanese samurai".

best video yet imagine this movie!!!
Missed the to mention the mesoamerican mercenaries that made up a large amount of the force of the Spanish in the Philippines , Tlaxcalan warriors allied to the Spanish against the dominant Aztec later asked to join the Spanish in the South Pacific
It's an interesting factor of history. People's often assume that the meso americans who allied with spaniards to defeat the large civilizations (notably the Tlaxcalan against the Aztecs) were then betrayed by the spaniards, but it wasn't true.
In fact they became the powerbase of spanish power for decades, because they were reliable allies and willing subjects to the Spanish crown. One could call them collaborators but that would imply that the Tlaxcalan had any relations to the Aztecs other than hatred for what horrors Tenochtitlan did to them for years.
The spaniards treated their enemies like trash, but they did reward those who sided with them during the conquests of south america, at least for a time.
Ok...... I'm sharing this channel to all my friends on social media, I just love the quality.

Beautiful work as always
By the end of next year your channel will have 3 mil. subs. Mark my words.
Why haven’t we gotten a movie about this
Samurai in the steaming foggy jungles, quite the badass aesthetic.
also it would be nice if you could tell about the Spanish and the island of Formosa (aka Taiwan), its such a good story
Im spanish, well known of spanish history, but never ever realised the spanish-japanese crossover did, in fact, exist.
Now you know 🎉
My gawd, I love the immersive art work! Epic!!!
I'm so glad I found this channel.
Do the siege and conquer of Malacca by Afonso de Albuquerque. All of his history is fascinating btw
YES
It is very unlikely that he will, as the history and recognition of Portugal's importance both militarily and politically is not often known to Americans (apart from Brazilians). They tend to look more at the history of Spain because of the link it has with their history. Even knowing that portugal was as important or even more important for the european domain of the world, with the development of cartography, nautical instruments, the caravel, the nau, the galleon, the positioning of cannons on the sides of ships etc.
@@JXJX-gg6qk yes but these are history nerds, they should know what's up
@@JXJX-gg6qk No, most of those means you said were Spanish
@@javiersamuel8172 what?
Portuguese explorers kicked ass, mega chads, always outnumbered in the other side of the world, they had to be bold and brave all the time!
Mexica also fought alongside the Spaniards. Vastly outnumbered, they defeated the pirates which included not only Japanese but warriors from across the region. It was a clash of 3 worlds.
Dont you mean tlaxcaltecas?
@@tomassmith1519 Both, and ever some other groups

The most important part of the spanish tercios in Cagayan Battles was composes by Tlaxaltecas, so the mayority was not really european spanish but mexican natives even if the captain Juan Pablo de Carrion was from the peninsula.
Nativos o no eran soldados españoles entrenados a la española, no iban en taparrabos, iban como soldados de la corona
I felt this one was rushed. The art is amazing as always, but I wish the video was longer.
This artwork is amazing 💯
