This is a good video. It's a pity that you didn't continue making this crash course. I like viewing our history through the eyes of foreigners. Good luck!
I got a new job and moved to London. Life just got real busy real fast and, before I knew it, a year had passed and I hadn't made a video. It's a shame, and I think about making new videos a lot, but I just never have the time these days. Glad you liked this one though :)
I know elder men and women that still speak of this event. The effect it has had on many generations thereafter is unbelievable. IT is a time and a place that will not go unforgotten.
My grandpa was born in ‘51 and would have been about 17. They were shooting students from a helicopter with a machine gun my grandpa had to hide behind a bus and was nearly killed. But he’s here, he’s 72.
I'm glad you liked it. I've not made a video in months (been mad busy) but comments like that are what inspire me to get back to work on another one :)
Hey buddy, if you're interested , there's another one massacre after Oct/2/1968, in June 10, 1971 a second massive protest later Tlatelolco ended into a students killings better known as El Halconazo in which the government sent shocking groups formed by formerly young gang thieves with ages between 20-25 years old, same age of students to make to believe population it was a students shocks these thieves were trained with CIA cooperation with military tactics and they were known as Halcones and were sent to fight against students in the México-Tacuba avenue, near Polytechnic National Institute (Casco de Santo Tomás) with police officers complicity. Halcones gunned civilians and students with M1 rifles and they hit with macanas and bamboo sticks. Official documents says there were about 120 murders and many people dissapeared and they were never seen again later they were sentenced into Campo militar #1. Later of those episodes in Modern Mexico came Festival de Rock y Ruedas de Avándaro a Woodstock-like rock and roll event celebrated at september 11-12, 1971 as an indirect result of this social movements.
My grandfather talks about it. He moved to CDMX in the 60’s and he says he remembers hearing gunfire from Chapultepec that day. Police came to his house and raided it to look for students. If they found a student who “looked like they attended the protest” they were kidnapped. They wore white gloves on one hand.
Omg I love how the change has made this more public and finally we can see it on the media, just like the Tiananmen massacre, finally knowledge has become public to everyone
These videos have great information for my students! However, the swearing restricts what age range I can show them to. If you can make it a little cleaner in future videos, we teachers would be able to show them more.
Thanks very much. There's a couple more to go before I finish this serious, but you always binge watch my other series on Bristol history or Bulgarian history :)
Heard a story of 1st hand accounts from former students and even police officers that were there that day.... and let me tell you that the army and police were trying to fight off the massacre.
My mom was only born in '65 but the story told to her was that it was so many people that died that the square and streets around it were flooded with blood of the protestors. I'm guessing the truth is somewhere closer to that but maybe it has been a bit dramatized over the years.
@@rulofsteiner6342no it’s not you igno, every Latin American country have their own culture. Latin America is more racially diverse than the u.s. Mexico itself is the 2nd most racially diverse country in North America with Canada being 1st and u.s 3rd. Hollywood and mainstream media have really turn u.s citizens so ignorant.
I often ask myself that same question. I have a full-time job, so UA-cam has taken a backseat. I think about making another video all the time, but they just take so dang long to research, script, shoot and edit...

Thanks for commenting. I can't imagine what it must have been like to be alive when this happened. I love Mexico and I wish all the best for it.

When is part 8 coming out? It would be really awesome to see you go in to depth about mexican politics in our current time.
Excellent video man! thanks for the diffusion of our history, specifically for the 68.

@Sebastian Guevara The CIA.
I appreciate your time and work for this massacre it feels good that someone else care, thanks
Really good video! Very interesting to know more about the background of that terrible event

Very informative video, you explain things very well

According to my father and mother my grandpa was apart of the protest
Thanks for share Mexico's history
Niiiice, just started watching these and you've posted a new one. Thank you!
Thanks very much. There's a couple more to go before I finish this serious, but you always binge watch my other series on Bristol history or Bulgarian history :)
Great videos, hope #8 comes soon, elections are on July and its promising to be a very interesting one
Amzing video thankyou for the time u spent making it i truly enjoyed watching it
Great video! You should contact Crash Course and work with them! They are very broad in history.
I was definitely inspired by Crash Course, and making videos for Hank and John Green would be the dream. If I'm very lucky, maybe one day I will :)
Great video new subscriber 👍

Here after watching the movie Roma
Well I wouldn’t say it’s capitalism, I would say it’s the NAFTA trade deal that created more poverty.

was 9 yrs old living in Mexico City
And how was that?
My father was employed in Mexico
Makes a video of Mexico puts Peruvian music in the end, wtf . Peru and Mexico 2 diferent countries.
My bad. That was just a band I saw playing in Guadalajara. I just thought they sounded pretty dope was all.
The Ambling Bristolian what’s the name of song and band?
Latín América it's the same thing

43 Ayotzinapa students still "missing". Mexican government, My government kidnnaped them.
I lived through that
I was a baby then, I never heard of this.
where's #8 dawg

I was in Mexico City just a few days ago!
It's a wonderful city! Probably one of my favourite place in Mexico :)
Another reason the 2nd amendment in the US is great.
Another fun you might not know is after this massacre happened they heavily restricted their second amendment which isfked up
The 1968 massacre were mostly Japanese students. Mexico had a great relationship with Japan
You do know after the massacre they rewrote their second amendment that was the same as ours before the incident
Listen to this guy pronounce Zocalo LOL
His STORY…..western opinion all over the world. SPANISH, ENGLISH, EUROPEAN ,DUTCH, WICKED WICKED
Estoy de acuerdo.
