Spanish to the aztecs: We don't want you to do that sacrifice thing and we want you to show mercy to your adversaries. Also Spanish: You see those guys *points to ottoman muslims* fuck them up like the old days.
The native allies of the Spanish Conquistadores were the Tlaxacalans, which were the rival Kingdom to the Triple Alliance (aka Aztec Empire) so.. while there may be a couple of actual "aztecs" in there, the majority of those Mexican warriors were Tlaxcalan, not Aztec.. however they did speak the same language, so it's cool to see how Nahuatl made it to the Philippines!
As a Brazilian it’s always cool to learn about pre-colombian civilizations, here in eastern south america there wasn’t any civilizations, just inumerous tribes with inumerous languages, no centralized anything.

Hernan Cortes' half-Nahua son Martin fought for the Hapsburgs in Algiers, which was a part of the Ottoman empire at the time. So this would be another early example of Mesoamerican people fighting Ottomans Turkish forces.
I feel bad for Martin, he was basically a rape baby and almost gets killed because cortes' Jeoffery-like full white son tried to usurp new spain cause he thought cortes' backhanded conquest entitled him to rule. Both sons almost got killed and Martin eventually gets killed kind of pointlessly far away from home. The spanish even treated their half breed kids like shit
Indigenous people in “conquistador” outfits wasn’t that uncommon during the conquest of what today is Mexico. A lot of them were allies of the Spanish, and others were subjugated by force to serve them
Spanish conquistadors also used Aztec armor such as the ichcahuipilli, I think it is called. A vest of cotton capable to stop arrows. It was much more confortable than the iron armor.
Manco Inca wore full spanish armor and learn to ride a horse during the rebellion, his troops had slingers and arquebuses with heavy infantry using maces and rapier swords, using traditional Inca shields and steel plate armor.
Philippines became so diverse at that point. There are Greek families who settled there, years after the fall of Eastern Rome, Japanese Christians who fled persecution and some lesser nobles lived there and settled and founded towns, Mayans and Aztecs dressed as Habsburg German soldier who were recently pagans but retained military prowess serving in Spanish army, Filipino-Hindu warriors with Hindu caste, ranks, and army, Chinese sailor merchants on the waters together with Indonesian and Vietnamese merchants, Arabic scholars and scientists, Italian historians and priests, Spanish architects and engineers, Jews from Spain and France settling in, and so on and so forth. Though Spain has many crimes, the Spanish even treated the Philippines well than any other Colonial power treats their colonies. Spain built university immediately, founded schools, and steadily declined its slavery whilst the European powers increased theirs. Sadly the history featured to PH is only about the abuse and a brief story of 300 years rule not the entire span of the diversity of PH and its modernization that when Americans came, they saw it as if they are in Europe, with many roads, Spanish towns, have native intellectuals studying in Europe, cedulas and population record, police force, and mixed European-Asian people which is very unlikely for a colony compared to other powers of their time.
i agreed i often wondered as i passed by towns & cities still had old decrepit homes that had spnish design you also see on latin america, i even analyze similaties of the tagalog language to neigboring indonesia & malaysia to atleast pieace together the complex roots we had. im a testimony to this myself as i found out that my great grandmother was part of the elite land-owning Rich Castillas (by tradition of spanish blood & much marry other rich locals/nobles in a province, was even besties with Imelda Marcos the wife of the dictator having vast connections i din't know and are high educated family until her daughter my grandma was disgusted & left to my grandpa who was a peasant but is the great grandson of a Chinese Merchant pirates that killed 2 british soldiers due to attempted rape of a local girl in singapore, saving her.. i found out was part of the lietenants of the greatest female pirate of china at the time) such a crazy blood line i had and learned my grandpa still spoke spanish fluently before the curriculum got changed/abolished, while my great grandmother exiled her daughter, my grandma who disobeyed despite losing a life of riches & even lived happy in poverty with my gramps who wished to be a lawyer but di'nt have a money but become a Prison warden who made an effort to try treating the prisoners better than draconian means and grandma used her high education to become a teacher and used to reform the local province for poor kids to grow up from the dumbing down/exploitive system of the rich to be educated/independent themselves than be slaved farmers. i looked through old pathe to 1950s/60s videos and shocked how well off the open city was Manila & Cebu was! even through our country got seen it's fair share of multiple migrations and invasions of 3 powers we tend to adopt/change those same scraps to enrich ourselves and fight back or get a better negotiating table to be our own autonomous Power (compared what other neighboring countries had endured and i learned other intellectuals from the british/french/dutch controlled countries had to go travel to study in the Philippines for the same Open/Lax big trade rules, that even the US in the Depression stopped in fear they can't afford luxuries of the overseas industries) we almost could have gone our stableness not rich but i hope to reach similar levels of progress like Italy atleast (we are still pretty chaotic, deadly, banana republic type but dumb/corrupt politicians) but nowadays we had better i loved seeing going to my elementary school i ssen kids who had chinese, italian, japanese, black & indian descent but seen ourselves what we do, we are developing country after all not reaching the problems of venezuela or the continunous conflict like afghanistan, a nation made up & separated by islands & a big tropical landmass with endless resources yet got destabilized.. i feel connected to what brazil/mexico had that pride of diverse that can rise again better if we try.
When the Americans came they had an inherent need to paint as much Black on the previous colonization, the American mode of Paternalistic Imperialism had to justify why it was in there in the first place, the great irony of this Paternalistic Imperialism is the fact that the Americans,Canadians and the Anglo-Protestant world copied this from Iberian-Catholic Mission schools who were far far better in treatment of natives compared to the Anglo-Protestants

@@Intranetusa The thing is you can't blame foreign powers for pouncing on a weak bigger foe or even smaller foe. This has been the modus operandi of every eager to grow nation since the beginning of nation states. Best example look at the French revolutionary wars and early coaltion wars. Literally every power took a swipe at France during their most chaotic point. Similarly look at USSR's fast expansion and annexation of much land during 1939-1940. All Baltic states annexed due to the chaos brought by Germany. China getting attacked was relatively light considering the only initial concessions they wanted were open free ports, they only asked for more when china showed just how weak they are.
@@scarletcrusade77 Just because it was historically common for aggressive stronger nations to prey on weaker nations doesn't mean you can't blame the agressor for destablizing weaker nations. Otherwise, are you saying Poland and France shouldn't blame Hitler's Nazi Germany for invading them, because it was common for strong nations to invade weaker nations? Are you saying we shouldn't blame USSR, China, or the USA for destablizing smaller countries around the world during the Cold War, simply because it is the way it has historically been? Even today, should we not blame China for its 1980s-1990s invasions of Vietnam or China trying to take over 90% of the South China Seas today because their neighbors are weak, or should we not blame the USA for destablizing the Middle East through arbitrary bombings/invasions of weaker countries like Iraq and Libya? Yes, it was historically common for the strong to prey on the weak. But we still have a reason and right to criticize those stronger nations for destablizing influences from their aggressive actions.
They weren't Aztec, and there are no "Aztec words." The language is and was Nahuatl. The Aztecs were one of many Nahua peoples, and went by the name of Mexica. The Mexican natives that fought alongside the Spanish in Southeast Asia are the same ones that fought alongside them in Mexico, the Tlaxcallans.
I don't know what is more shocking. That Ottomans and Tlaxcala had a war between themselves in South East Asia, or that Brunei had a colonial Islamic empire.
I'd love to get a game set in this time period at the SE region. Also sad to see the german mercs in Spanish service who also settled in the island didn't get a mention. But there's already so many people that adding a few more would be confusing.
@Shy Cracker That with the exception that South East Asians focused more on alliances since who would risk a world war when you can sip coconut juice, increase trade and marry a foreign princess? So many mixing was possible because of that chill/peace mindset. Too bad the West and the Chinese just had to complicate things
There is a dark fog in western schools about the "Spanish Golden Century" , due to old rivalries with France, UK, Netherlands, etc. There was a strong influence between New Spain and Phillipines, thousands of náhuatl speakers like Mexicas, Acolhuas, Tlaxcallans, were the majority of the spanish armies that traveled in the Manila-Acapulco Galeon Route from XVI to XlX centuries. And Phillipinos also came to Acapulco Guerrero were they mixed with locals. These Phillipinos descendants fought in the Independentist Army under Gral. Vicente Guerrero in 1810's. Vicente Guerrero became The second President of The Mexican Republic in 1827. Vicente Guerrero was a mestizo from Spanish(white)-Mexican(nativeamerican)-African(black)-Phillipino(Asían). Greetings to our Pino brothers from Mexico.
Little correction for help from Ottoman to Aceh. It was Selim II who sent help, when Aceh ask for help to Ottoman from Suleiman he was on his last war before he dead so Aceh still mention Suleiman in their latter but it was Sultan Selim II who answered it cause Sulaiman dead Also for Ottoman left over in Aceh still can be see by their descendants on village that today call as Kampong/kampung Turkey or in English Turkey Village in Aceh
Correction. The Chinese did not take pride in their queues, the queues were rather signs of submission and humiliation mandated by Manchu conquerors (from 1644AD onwards). What the Chinese actually took pride of, in terms of hairstyle, was a full head of hair tied up into a top knot and then coronated with various crowns as that was an expression of full-on vitality and millions of Chinese gave up their lives to protect this heritage.
@@BernieSanders-bn5dk There are several ways of determining whether one people (in this case the Manchus) is a subgroup of another people/state/nation etc (in this case Chinese/China). Firstly from the perspective of the Chinese at that time. In this perspective, Manchus were definitely not Chinese. But that does not intrinsically mean that the Chinese would or should reject them. As a matter of historical fact, due to the obscene corruption of the Ming regime at its end, the Manchus were actually welcome at first, but once they forced haircutting, almost all Chinese revoked their affinity, masses of which, being mere civilians, fought to death in the light of the mandate, which brings up my second and more substantial way of determining; that is whether one could uphold the high virtue and spirit of the Chinese culture. Many would know that China is natively so-called "the Middle Kingdom", but that is a superficial translation. The "middle" part actually describes a virtue, which to associate with a western parallel, would be Aristotle's Golden Mean. So what substantiates China as China, is whether the mean is upheld and exalted. From the origin of the Chinese civilisation some 4000 years ago, the teaching of "允執其中" (firmly seize the mean) was passed down from sage king to sage king. In the Chinese cosmic view, It is at the mean that creation flourishes, and that is the real meaning of the name of China "中華", which again, can be superficially translated as "Central Flower“. Knowing the substance of China, not even many native dynasties, let alone foreign regimes, could hold up to being real Chinese, and the Manchu dynasty was arguably the least Chinese (as they even destroyed the superficial appearance). China should be an ideal, not an identity, and therefore whether one is Chinese should be more of a question of how much than yes or no. Well, getting back to the other ways of determining. Another would be to see whether the Manchus considered themselves as being Chinese, which they didn't, not until the Republic in 1911. They saw China as an acquisition, and should they lose their reign, they would just retract to Manchuria where they made it proprietary and forbade people from settling in. When the interest of the ruler is incongruent with its people, the administration is sure to be off. That was the reason why China had so much struggle in transitioning itself during the late Manchu rule for a time when the rest of the world was undergoing rapid change. Having denounced the historic Manchus, contemporarily speaking, they are of course Chinese, but once again, not even native Chinese are in substance Chinese, not until they realise the virtue of "mean". But, in the end, regardless of all the convoluted cultural/spiritual accounts, one thing is always true, that is, whatever is forced upon you cannot be yours.
@@lancialonginus You are wrong in regards with the Manchus self-perception. They did consider themselves Chinese and laid the foundation for the concept of 中華民族 (zhonghua minzu), in which the Chinese nation is made up of the different ethnic groups of China, not only the Han. They called their state 中國 (zhongguo) in official documents, and “Chinese people” included all the subjects of the Qing dynasty, including the Han, Manchus, and Mongols. And culturally speaking, yes the Qing were seen as barbarians in the beginning, but over time they went through a greater degree of sinification.
@@augustuscaesar7491 Hi there, I think in order to make more truthful judgments, one needs not only to look at what is being said but also what is being done. Aside from the dichotomy of Chinese against the barbarian, the substance has always been how much the ruler and the people are one, irrespective of race. It is from this benchmark that I view the historic Manchus as not being Chinese. As one of the seminal historians of the modern time Mr Ch'ien/Qian Mu (錢穆錢賓四先生) coined it, the Manchu regime was a tribal regime (部族政權), that was to say, it served the objects of the tribe, not the country. Mr Ch'ien/Qian, in his book "Political Gains and Losses of China through the Ages" (中國歷代政治得失) pointed out that in the political organisation of the Manchu Dynasty, there existed a peculiar office, the office of martial emergency (軍機處), which allowed the emperor to circumvent the established institution and make decisions and form decrees with a small group of people for exclusivity. This showed that even within the court, which was already exclusive, there yet existed hidden agendas. Another statement worth noting from just before the 1900s was "Reformation benefits the Hans, not the Manchus. For the estate that I hold, I would rather give it away to my companions and make sure that the slaves would not be enriched from its profit" (改革者，漢人之利，滿人之害也。我有産業，我寧贈之於朋友，而必不使奴隸分其潤也). Here, the word "companions" refers to western imperial powers, which exposed Manchus' perception of themselves in relation to the state. As with proclaiming their state 中國, it was an act that they had to do. I mean think about it, the thief would be the one crying "catch the thief" the loudest to mitigate people's suspicion. When western imperial powers came into the scene in the middle of the dynasty, the Manchus were overstressing their status as being barbarians and held them in low esteem. Towards this, undiscerning minds would see arrogance, but shrewd observers would see inadequacy and diversion. Fundamentally, it is not a question of ethnicity or identity, it is a question of what is real Sinification. It's not just writing with Chinese script, eating with chopsticks, and saying oneself to be Chinese. There exists a virtue, the virtue of the mean, that is the source of creation, and from it, equality and openness could prevail. It was from this basis that Dr Sun Yat Sen (孫中山先生) quoted "world for all" (天下爲公) from "The Grand Union" (禮運 · 大同) to inspire his fellow countrymen to strive for, or rather restore an ideal native to their civilisation, and that is also why China as a domain is yet to be.
It's tempting to mock the Spanish for thinking they could invade China with 20,000 men but this is late Ming China we're talking about; you could knock it over with a stiff breeze.
Yeah specially if they use diplomacy first like they did with both the Inca and Aztec. I can see them rallying tens of thousands of rebels in a matter of days or simply kidnapping the emperor while engaging in "trade diplomacy".

I only know about the Palenque, Sili, and tsokolate originating from Aztecs/Incas/Mayas, but not Nanay or Tatay... Especially Palenque, since the spanish word for market is Mercado and Pasar in Malay, yet Filipino uses Palenque/palengke, so it must've come from somewhere, then I found out that Palenque is a name of a Mayan City in Mexico so I came to realize that Aztecs, Incans and Mayans were brought to the Philippines by Spain... It's a shame that we don't learn this from our education system.

But the fall of the philippines also led to the fall of indonesia to the dutch. When the portuegese were attacking sumatra and aceh,the filipino fleets of the lucoes were there assisting in the defense. When tondo and manila fell, no more fleets to assist melaka, and aceh and sumatra. The philippines was closed to the world for around 300 years with only contact through the galleons. When the Philippines became independent, it became indonesian independence main supporters. So please dont be like the malaysians who look down on us as if we're alien to nusantara. We are also nusantarans. We spend blood defending the rest of nusantara but melaka never even sent reinforcements to luzon. The bruneian fleet arrived to late as it was busy assisting in melaka.. brunei lost a lot too, including its territories in the philippines.

The Portuguese has destroyed the Malaccan Royal palace and all the archive of the Malaccan Civilisation to the ground.

The relationship between the (pre and post-colonial) Philippines and Brunei is pretty strong, despite the difference in ideology. There is a general recognition of familiar histories and ties. In the last Opening Ceremony of the 2019 SEA Games hosted by the Philippines (the last SeA Games broadcast online and on TV before the start of the pandemic) both President Duterte of the Philippines, and the Sultan of Brunei HRH Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah, were seated together side by side. Also, the largest mosque in the Philippines is in Cotabato city, named after the Sultan of Brunei. There is also a branch of the Bolkiah Dynasty that live in the Philippines. So we understood the seating of HRH the Sultan of Brunei and our president being a reunion or reminder of the debt we owe them, and that our countries would have been one of it wasn't for the Spanish. Around Mexico, there's also a general feeling of brotherhood between both Meixco and the Philippines. There is a depenrespect that "we've suffered the same" under the Spanish, who destroyed a growing thalassocratic civilization in the Philippines, and spelts the end of the Aztec and various Nahua and Maya remnant civilizations in Mexico. The Hispanization that happened to the Philippines was done via Mexico and so you'd find the Spanish similarities are actually those between Mexico and the Philippines. Manila Shawls, "explorer helmets", Cuban shirts, Jusi and Piña fibre, tuba and tequila and mezcal all drunk in Mexico, actually originated from the Philippines (no word of a lie!). Many Filipino foods like tabletas (cacao) and champorado, menudo, tamales, Turon, relleno, caldereta, and any Hispanic elements are all from the same hybridized culture the post Aztec Mexicans had, and that's why 3% of Filipino DNA is Nahua (Aztec). This is why you'd find some Mexican and Filipino music culture and dances that are similar. This was all on top of a deep substratum of Austronesian (Malayo-Polynesian) culture and ethnolingusitic identity (re the strong tribal tattooing culture of the unhispanized areas of the Philippines which mirrors Polynesian tattooing traditions), which was then highly influenced by Hinduism and Islam in the Middle Ages (the dominant culture now of Brunei and the southern Philippines). The Sultanate of Sulu and Maguindanao was requested by the Ottoman Caliph (the religious leader of all Sunni Muslims worldwide akin to a Pope on Catholicism) to end their jihad in Mindanao and Sulu, and to cooperate with the US and British after they won the Spanish American war and assurances were made that the US and UK wouldn't force convert the Bangsamoro people to Christianity as the Spanish tried to do. What happened instead was they were shafted via the North Borneo treaty for Malaysia to "lease" Sabah to the Sultanate of Sulu. The Malay word used was reinterpreted to mean "give" and so the Philippines lost Sabah due to legal jargon. A century before the Spanish arrived, one of the Sultans of Sulu (the East King of Sulu) Paduka Pahala, was buried in Shandong in southern China after visiting the Ming Emperor and passing away on his way back. The Ming Emperor gave him a state burial and his descendants still live there, the Hui Chinese (Muslims Chinese) population of Shandong province. The associations the Philippines has to some really disparate places worldwide runs deep and explains just how unique a mix the country is.
Amazing video XD do you have the sources somewhere? I'm a Mexican history major student and I love early new Spain, and it would help a lot for the thesis. Also, a bit clarification maybe. Spain didn't discriminate indians as plainly as we usually thought, there were different privileges depending of Wich indian you were, so it would be nice to pinpoint who was able to join the army, I would say Tlaxcalans were the ones in Philippines, this because they were a warrior culture and respected as allies by the Spanish. I don't think they would allow descendants of the Aztec many privileges, let alone to fight (half of Mexico's indians wouldn't allow it for obvious reasons). And yes, I know the sources say Mexicans, Wich is a name of the Aztecs but Spanish (for what I've read from priests) called Mexicans to everyone of Mexican language, Wich is náhuatl, and was spoken by tribes from all central México and they weren't necessarily aztecs. The nahuas include the Tlaxcalans, not only allies, but veterans of the conquista, that learned to use pike and sword (check códices of indians with swords, they're pretty cool). So my bet is that they weren't Aztec but Tlaxcalans and neighbors called Mexicans cause they speak mexican language. I would love to see more videos of Spanish Philippines, our lost cousins, and also the Mexican conquest post the fall of Tenochtitlan cause nobody talks about it. And again, indians with swords! Love you channel. It has really opened the view of many eras And sorry I write too much ;-; I like the subject. (Also give me the surcesss)
Due to the prevalence of race mixing, do Mexicans generally view themselves of descendants of both the Spanish and the Aztecs? Also, just like to say I love hearing that you’ve taken an interest in early colonial history. It seems to be an unpopular area of study and interest in anglophone Canada and the US.
@@kingstarscream320 there were more tribes than Aztecs ( real name was Mexicas ), but sadly Mexicans thinks Aztecs represented the 95% of all natives in Mexico. Mexicans are the result.of mixing all ethics in Mexico with Spanish people.
@@zamirroa Indeed. So the average Mexican person doesn’t necessarily focus solely on their European ancestry as is the case with most Americans and Canadians?
@Shy Cracker completely wrong. Spanish picked and chose which tribes to ally with or war with, they also committed genocide and enslaved tribes. See the tainos in hispaniola.
The Spanish weren't ousted by the Americans. The Spanish signed a treaty to sell what became the Philippines to the Americans, but by the time the Americans landed, Manila was practically already surrounded by the Philippine army. The fun part: the Spanish would have been driven to the fortress of Manila and other forts sooner had Japanese aid arrived sooner. However the first arms shipment was redirected to China to support one of the Warlords; by the time the next shipment was en route, the Americans already landed. The Japanese did not want to risk a war with the Americans and recalled the ship. Aguinaldo for his part was supported by feudal lords, many sugar barons, and would much rather compromise with the Americans and gain trade rights (they got their free trade; Ferdinand Marcos was originally a Liberal, until it left the Party because even sugar barons had limits on douchebaggery, except for Marcos and its buddy, Benedicto, under which a great famine happened on N-Words island), while militarily he was basically to Filipinos as something akin to how Mel Gibson described Horatio Gates. Sure those conventional line tactics from Prussia, Napoleon, and the recent Boshin War worked on disparate and spread out Spanish forces, but that's not going to work on American Marines and later Army troops that would keep getting reinforcements and had good central command with communications lines that were not even cut. ---- Tagalog is in a way a lot like English where there are so many loan words. The word for "father" is OG Mexican, the word for mother is like "tah-tay" and "nonna" together (nah-nay; longer A's on both words), gradnparents are Latin (ie nonna to "lola") but the word for older siblings are Hokkien ie "ah-tzi" (ate, ie ah-te) and "que-hya" (kuya, ie kuh-yah). Uncles/Aunts are Spanish, "tio/a," but the term for cousin is of Hokkien origin. "Saya" in Japanese means "(sword/knife) sheath," but in Tagalog it can also mean "(long) skirt," as Tagalog outfits are not one-piece robes. This also predates the 90s movie trope of femme fatales breaking necks with their thighs, and given how many Filipino martial artists were involved in Hollywood films at the time (all the way to John Wick today), I wouldn't be surprised if the psyche of looking thighs and legs as literal lethal weapons (and not just weapons of mass distraction, as in Mindanao island and Sulu, etc) flowed from Luzon and into California. Another power dynamic in language: the idiom "under de saya" (that's three languages in one go) which refers to submissive straight male partners being like little boys hiding under Mommy's skirt. Such dominant women aren't just dominant over their husbands, they're sometimes like their moms and are the closest thing they have to, say, consumer protection. What we laugh at today as "Karen" used to be a heroic figure in the Philippines thanks to inept consumer protection. In any case, Freud can explain why Filipinos use a word for "sheath" to also mean "skirt." You'll notice even weirder stuff if you speak the language. You know how British say "biscuit" and Americans say "cookies?" Some Filipinos tend to say "biscuit" if the rest of the sentence is Tagalog or Spanish, or any of the local languages, but chances are will say "cookie" if the rest of the sentence is English. It doesn't matter if the food in question is European (shortbread, Danish stuff, etc) or American (like Oreo and Chips Ahoy, their local/regional derivatives, or home made), the determinant for what they'll be called is more likely what language the sentence or question is in than what the hell they're referring to.
N word island lmao. Seeing filipinos writing is pretty weird indeed, and a little addition here: in Portuguese, skirt is called "saia", which sounds exactly the same as the Japanese/Tagalog word "saya" you mentioned. So I guess Filipinos took the Portuguese word but decided to write with an Y?
would've been a funny timeline if the Americans kept the Philippines as a state instead of giving it independence and we'd have N-word Occidental and N-word Oriental today
@@l.palacio9076 Possible, save for one thing: I still have to pick up a dictionary for what "scabbard/sheath" is in Filipino. "Saya" is commonly used enough. Alternately, it could have been both. Saya as skirt could have been first, but that thighs and legs = lethal weapons (of mass distraction) possibly helped adopting the word for "sheath" as post-Sekigahara ronin and Catholic converts settled in the islands.
Please don't equate the 'karens' of today with the Filipinas of the past or Filipinas in general. At least the latter know how to fight and lead when necessary like the Batangueñas of Rizal, Gabriela Silang, and GMA despite her flaws and the whole ZTE deal.
I'm Indonesian this video was explained to me why there's a Ottomans cemetery (Mainly they're Arabs and Turkish) in the Province of Aceh and province of West Sumatra In Indonesia
Descendants of the Inca high class had noble titles and rights throughout the Spanish Empire. This all ended after independence when they were sent back to being second class citizens
Thanks for highlighting the Castile War. It's quite messy though. Prior to the Spanish invasion the Sultan sent an army to march against Manila but was cancelled. The Bruneian capital was heavily fortiefied so the Spanish managed to get 2 Bruneian defectors to help out how to breach the fortification. The Spaniards manage to hold about 70+ days before a Bruneian counter attack drove them out. After that both Brunei and Spain had this forgotten crusade for about the last 300 years. There were times both countries sack each other capitals, Brunei being creative set up the pepper defense strategy by having British ships to guard the pepper trade which they set around the capital just to show the Spaniards don't come close. 300 years pass and both countries are weak to face new adversities, Americans against the Spanish then Brunei against the Brits.

There were Assyrian christians from Kerala fighting for Portuguese, new catholic converts from West coast of India. Tamil merchants from India and Sri Lanka were also present in SEA. Turkestan riflemen from Central Asia were hired by the sultanates in India, they joined the muslims in SEA.
Tlaxcaltec warriors were allies to the Spanish , it was them who made possible the conquest of Tenochtitlan the Mexica or Aztec capital . Thay had thousands of warriors , so after the wars their leaders were given titles of Nobility with a Familiy Crest , they colonized different parts of todays Mexico . So they kept loyal to the king of Castilla . They are a Nahuatl people , so they speak the same language as the Mexica or Aztecs . They were fierce and loyal , as compared to the Mexica . Most of the Aztecs you mentioned , would have actually been Tlaxcaltec . I love this story , but I feel it necessary to point out the difference . Aztecs and Tlaxcaltec were enemies . So not the same , but speaking the same language . Like a Spartan and an Athenean a milenia ago .
Imagine an Empire total war map from Sumatra to Filipina, covering Indochina, Indonesia, southern China, with half a dozen empires (Siam, Aceh, Cambodia, Annam, Bali, Brunei...) and colonial powers or pirates coming in and out from every corner (Spanish, Portuguese, Ottoman, Japanese,...)
10:50 Sounds legit. According to “ Filipino, English and Taglish” by Thompson RM, et al (2003): The modern-day Filipino (standardized Tagalog) lexicon, which along with English, is one of the two official languages of the Philippines, is comprised of Tagalog and other Philippine languages 52%, Spanish 13%, NAHUATL (Aztec) 10%, Malay 10%, American English 7%, Chinese languages 7%, Sanskrit 1% and Arabic 1%. So, almost as many Aztec words as there are Spanish words, and way more than English, Chinese and Malay, a related Austronesian language. Imagine that.
This is FASCINATING !!! I wonder what ethnicities were present among the Spanish and Portugese pirates who used to plunder the coasts of Bengal in the 16th to 18th Centuries?
Basically if you look at Asia/Africa in the 1500s, it was the Muslim Alliance, Anti-Muslim Alliance, and China. Basically those three factions. (Mongols/Tartars kind of had their own thing going even though they were "Muslim". They spent more time fighting Muslims then non-Muslims). Basically Portugal made inroads in the Indian Ocean by aiding Hindus against the Mughals. The Hindus allied with the Christian Portuguese against Muslim Mughals. Ethopia also allied with Portugal against the Muslims. Spain came in from the West eventually going into the Philippines and bringing over half of Mexico to settle the Philippines. I think a lot of Filipinos maybe descendants of the Aztecs.
Over half of Mexico settling in the Philippines? Where did you get that from? Some did settle there but Filipinos to this day are still mostly Austronesian.
after seeing this, i really hope youd cover the kingdoms and sultanates of SEA during the early modern period in your future videos. there are so many unique sultanates and kingdoms during that era😁
You completely missed that at this time Portugal was under the rule of the king of Spain, being both empires United. Most of the names you gave as "Spanish" were actually Portuguese
@@proger1960 It happened in 1759, I misremembered the date. This was part of the British effort at consolidating its holding in Bengal. The battle of Chinsurah. In 1759 the Dutch garrison of Chinsura, on its march to Chandernagore, attacked a British force under Colonel Forde.[1] The Battle of Chinsurah lasted less than half an hour and ended with the rout of the Dutch attackers. The battle resulted in the end of Mir Jafar's reign.

"You eu4 campaign is so unrealistic, it is nothing like real history."
real history:
Indigenous people in “conquistador” outfits wasn’t that uncommon during the conquest of what today is Mexico. A lot of them were allies of the Spanish, and others were subjugated by force to serve them
Spanish conquistadors also used Aztec armor such as the ichcahuipilli, I think it is called. A vest of cotton capable to stop arrows. It was much more confortable than the iron armor.
@@quetzalcoatl3242 yes, it was more comfortable using it in hotter and/or humid places
Manco Inca wore full spanish armor and learn to ride a horse during the rebellion, his troops had slingers and arquebuses with heavy infantry using maces and rapier swords, using traditional Inca shields and steel plate armor.
Philippines became so diverse at that point. There are Greek families who settled there, years after the fall of Eastern Rome, Japanese Christians who fled persecution and some lesser nobles lived there and settled and founded towns, Mayans and Aztecs dressed as Habsburg German soldier who were recently pagans but retained military prowess serving in Spanish army, Filipino-Hindu warriors with Hindu caste, ranks, and army, Chinese sailor merchants on the waters together with Indonesian and Vietnamese merchants, Arabic scholars and scientists, Italian historians and priests, Spanish architects and engineers, Jews from Spain and France settling in, and so on and so forth.
Though Spain has many crimes, the Spanish even treated the Philippines well than any other Colonial power treats their colonies. Spain built university immediately, founded schools, and steadily declined its slavery whilst the European powers increased theirs. Sadly the history featured to PH is only about the abuse and a brief story of 300 years rule not the entire span of the diversity of PH and its modernization that when Americans came, they saw it as if they are in Europe, with many roads, Spanish towns, have native intellectuals studying in Europe, cedulas and population record, police force, and mixed European-Asian people which is very unlikely for a colony compared to other powers of their time.

Are you saying we shouldn't blame USSR, China, or the USA for destablizing smaller countries around the world during the Cold War, simply because it is the way it has historically been?
Even today, should we not blame China for its 1980s-1990s invasions of Vietnam or China trying to take over 90% of the South China Seas today because their neighbors are weak, or should we not blame the USA for destablizing the Middle East through arbitrary bombings/invasions of weaker countries like Iraq and Libya?

And Phillipinos also came to Acapulco Guerrero were they mixed with locals. These Phillipinos descendants fought in the Independentist Army under Gral. Vicente Guerrero in 1810's.

Little correction for help from Ottoman to Aceh. It was Selim II who sent help, when Aceh ask for help to Ottoman from Suleiman he was on his last war before he dead so Aceh still mention Suleiman in their latter but it was Sultan Selim II who answered it cause Sulaiman dead
Also for Ottoman left over in Aceh still can be see by their descendants on village that today call as Kampong/kampung Turkey or in English Turkey Village in Aceh

Correction. The Chinese did not take pride in their queues, the queues were rather signs of submission and humiliation mandated by Manchu conquerors (from 1644AD onwards). What the Chinese actually took pride of, in terms of hairstyle, was a full head of hair tied up into a top knot and then coronated with various crowns as that was an expression of full-on vitality and millions of Chinese gave up their lives to protect this heritage.
Arn't Manchus Chinese and wasn't that their hair style too though?
@@BernieSanders-bn5dk There are several ways of determining whether one people (in this case the Manchus) is a subgroup of another people/state/nation etc (in this case Chinese/China).
Firstly from the perspective of the Chinese at that time. In this perspective, Manchus were definitely not Chinese. But that does not intrinsically mean that the Chinese would or should reject them. As a matter of historical fact, due to the obscene corruption of the Ming regime at its end, the Manchus were actually welcome at first, but once they forced haircutting, almost all Chinese revoked their affinity, masses of which, being mere civilians, fought to death in the light of the mandate, which brings up my second and more substantial way of determining; that is whether one could uphold the high virtue and spirit of the Chinese culture.
Many would know that China is natively so-called "the Middle Kingdom", but that is a superficial translation. The "middle" part actually describes a virtue, which to associate with a western parallel, would be Aristotle's Golden Mean. So what substantiates China as China, is whether the mean is upheld and exalted. From the origin of the Chinese civilisation some 4000 years ago, the teaching of "允執其中" (firmly seize the mean) was passed down from sage king to sage king. In the Chinese cosmic view, It is at the mean that creation flourishes, and that is the real meaning of the name of China "中華", which again, can be superficially translated as "Central Flower“.
Knowing the substance of China, not even many native dynasties, let alone foreign regimes, could hold up to being real Chinese, and the Manchu dynasty was arguably the least Chinese (as they even destroyed the superficial appearance). China should be an ideal, not an identity, and therefore whether one is Chinese should be more of a question of how much than yes or no.
Well, getting back to the other ways of determining. Another would be to see whether the Manchus considered themselves as being Chinese, which they didn't, not until the Republic in 1911. They saw China as an acquisition, and should they lose their reign, they would just retract to Manchuria where they made it proprietary and forbade people from settling in. When the interest of the ruler is incongruent with its people, the administration is sure to be off. That was the reason why China had so much struggle in transitioning itself during the late Manchu rule for a time when the rest of the world was undergoing rapid change.
Having denounced the historic Manchus, contemporarily speaking, they are of course Chinese, but once again, not even native Chinese are in substance Chinese, not until they realise the virtue of "mean". But, in the end, regardless of all the convoluted cultural/spiritual accounts, one thing is always true, that is, whatever is forced upon you cannot be yours.
@@BernieSanders-bn5dk the Manchus were "northern steppe barbarian raiders"
@@lancialonginus You are wrong in regards with the Manchus self-perception. They did consider themselves Chinese and laid the foundation for the concept of 中華民族 (zhonghua minzu), in which the Chinese nation is made up of the different ethnic groups of China, not only the Han. They called their state 中國 (zhongguo) in official documents, and “Chinese people” included all the subjects of the Qing dynasty, including the Han, Manchus, and Mongols. And culturally speaking, yes the Qing were seen as barbarians in the beginning, but over time they went through a greater degree of sinification.
@@augustuscaesar7491 Hi there, I think in order to make more truthful judgments, one needs not only to look at what is being said but also what is being done. Aside from the dichotomy of Chinese against the barbarian, the substance has always been how much the ruler and the people are one, irrespective of race. It is from this benchmark that I view the historic Manchus as not being Chinese.
As one of the seminal historians of the modern time Mr Ch'ien/Qian Mu (錢穆錢賓四先生) coined it, the Manchu regime was a tribal regime (部族政權), that was to say, it served the objects of the tribe, not the country. Mr Ch'ien/Qian, in his book "Political Gains and Losses of China through the Ages" (中國歷代政治得失) pointed out that in the political organisation of the Manchu Dynasty, there existed a peculiar office, the office of martial emergency (軍機處), which allowed the emperor to circumvent the established institution and make decisions and form decrees with a small group of people for exclusivity. This showed that even within the court, which was already exclusive, there yet existed hidden agendas.
Another statement worth noting from just before the 1900s was "Reformation benefits the Hans, not the Manchus. For the estate that I hold, I would rather give it away to my companions and make sure that the slaves would not be enriched from its profit" (改革者，漢人之利，滿人之害也。我有産業，我寧贈之於朋友，而必不使奴隸分其潤也). Here, the word "companions" refers to western imperial powers, which exposed Manchus' perception of themselves in relation to the state.
As with proclaiming their state 中國, it was an act that they had to do. I mean think about it, the thief would be the one crying "catch the thief" the loudest to mitigate people's suspicion. When western imperial powers came into the scene in the middle of the dynasty, the Manchus were overstressing their status as being barbarians and held them in low esteem. Towards this, undiscerning minds would see arrogance, but shrewd observers would see inadequacy and diversion.
Fundamentally, it is not a question of ethnicity or identity, it is a question of what is real Sinification. It's not just writing with Chinese script, eating with chopsticks, and saying oneself to be Chinese. There exists a virtue, the virtue of the mean, that is the source of creation, and from it, equality and openness could prevail. It was from this basis that Dr Sun Yat Sen (孫中山先生) quoted "world for all" (天下爲公) from "The Grand Union" (禮運 · 大同) to inspire his fellow countrymen to strive for, or rather restore an ideal native to their civilisation, and that is also why China as a domain is yet to be.
It's tempting to mock the Spanish for thinking they could invade China with 20,000 men but this is late Ming China we're talking about; you could knock it over with a stiff breeze.
I imagine they would only be able to capture and hold only Hong Kong'
@@elemperadordemexico i wonder how they would have rename that city.
@@elemperadordemexico Hong Kong? What, that barren island? Why would they want that? It's empty.
Yeah specially if they use diplomacy first like they did with both the Inca and Aztec. I can see them rallying tens of thousands of rebels in a matter of days or simply kidnapping the emperor while engaging in "trade diplomacy".
@@elemperadordemexico they wouldn't want to hold hong kong because hong Kong didn't even exist at this time it was a small un important fishing village. Maybe they would attempt to capture Guangzhou.
Didn't know Tagalog had Nahuatl loan words. Really interesting.
I know there were also Filipinos who came to the Spanish American colonies by the late 1500s.
I only know about the Palenque, Sili, and tsokolate originating from Aztecs/Incas/Mayas, but not Nanay or Tatay... Especially Palenque, since the spanish word for market is Mercado and Pasar in Malay, yet Filipino uses Palenque/palengke, so it must've come from somewhere, then I found out that Palenque is a name of a Mayan City in Mexico so I came to realize that Aztecs, Incans and Mayans were brought to the Philippines by Spain... It's a shame that we don't learn this from our education system.
@Ted Hubert Pagnanawon Crusio There's a place named "Vigan" in the Philippines that cooks Pipian, which is a Mexican food, if I'm not mistaken.
Brunei back then: *Became one of the key players of this whole ambitious crossover thingy*
Brunei now: *Just a small country in SEA that doesn't even have a million people*
They are kinda Similar to Oman since they used to have big colonial empires that were eventually absorbed by the british.
Wtf Ottomans? First I heard they went to war with Portugal in Eithiopia and India, now this!
Ottomans also served as mercernaries for various Muslim African empires and kingdoms. Ottoman mercernaries served in the Bornu Empire.
Ottoman have support some of local Islamic kingdom in south east Asia but their Golden Child of south east Asia definitely Aceh Sultanate due they are the only one on that area that can be call as Vassal of The Ottoman Empire
There also some tale about small group of Janissaries that sail from Aceh to Ternate Sultanate helped them kick Portuguese out of Moluccas
They also Helped Mataram Sultanate of java create an army using modern fire arms like musket and cannon. South East Asia have their own cannon name chakbang that pretty much out date with arrival of western power. That why they ask for help to create new weapon.
Modern land mark left by the Ottoman in Aceh is their descendants that life in Kampung Turkey (Turkey Village) in Aceh today
@Shy Cracker that actually thanks to Saadi Sultanate that didn't want to bow to Ottoman or to European they basically stop Ottoman expansion to Atlantic.
I wonder if Wattasid actually can stop the Ottoman ?
I’m about half indigenous (purepecha) and i have made a ton of filipino friends. They are really great and friendly people and I really love and appreciate their culture.
As a Mexican and learner of Nahuatl it’s so interesting to see the loanwords in Tagalog, ma nemi tonantlahtol! Long live our mother tongue!
Sometimes I think how incredible is the Hispanic America. A millennial preservation of natives costumes with Spanish collaboration. Unhappinessly this didn't happened in Portuguese America.
@@pedroks5571 Philippines does preserve its languages as the friars learned to speak in local dialects, from Ilocano in Northern Luzon to Hiligaynon in the Visayas, as the southern and the hinterlands up in central Luzon parts are the hardest and the most stubborn to conquer, but the irony is that Zamboanga does speak pidgin spanish called chavacano. during spanish regime here, only the spaniards and the local elite called principalia can communicate in spanish while the lower class called "indios" don't.
@@johnnymechavez429 In Mexico its was the same. Just a minority was able to speak Spanish. The Hispanization of the majority of the population started after the Independence.
Yes. And many of the absorbed words in our various regional languages are indirect loanwords thru spanish. For example:
*tiyanquiztli (Nahuatl) - tianguis (Spanish) = Tiyangge/Tiangge (Filipino) "Flee Market"
*tzictli (Nahuatl) - chicle (Sp) = Chiklet/Tsiklet (Fil) "Chewing gum"
*Xitomatl (Nahhuatl) - Jitomates (Sp) - Kamatis (Fil) "Tomato"
*camohtli (Nahuatl) - camote (Spa) - Kamote (Fil) "sweet potato"
*xicamatl (Nahuatl) - jícama (Spa)- Singkamas (Filipino) " mexican turnip"
*Tocayotia (Nahuatl) - Tocayo (sp) - [Ka]Tokayo "someone you share similar names with"
*Petlacalli - Petaca - Pitaka "coin purse/wallet"
*cacaloxochitl - Cacalosúchil - calachuchi "plumera rubra"
Not only tagalog because we Ilocanos use "tatay" to our fathers and we ilocanos are filipinos too
Amazing! Thank you for making this video!
reminds me of when a Japanese Samurai stabbed a Spanish solider in Acapulco, Mexico as recorded by the grandson of an Aztec nobleman.
This is incredible. As Indonesian I always knew the Nusantara archipelago has always been a hub of international trade since pre-modern times. But I never knew the extent of the internationalism. Apparently there was such a strange moment where so many foreigners fighting here. Must be quite a sight to see.
But the fall of the philippines also led to the fall of indonesia to the dutch. When the portuegese were attacking sumatra and aceh,the filipino fleets of the lucoes were there assisting in the defense. When tondo and manila fell, no more fleets to assist melaka, and aceh and sumatra. The philippines was closed to the world for around 300 years with only contact through the galleons. When the Philippines became independent, it became indonesian independence main supporters. So please dont be like the malaysians who look down on us as if we're alien to nusantara. We are also nusantarans. We spend blood defending the rest of nusantara but melaka never even sent reinforcements to luzon. The bruneian fleet arrived to late as it was busy assisting in melaka.. brunei lost a lot too, including its territories in the philippines. The rajah of manila and tondo and sulu were cousins of the bruneian sultans - they were executed by the spanish after the uprising of the lakans.
@@markvincentbaculna7744 the Malaccan Sultanate has fallen in early 1500 due to betrayal to the Sultan, and this weaken the Sultanate made it vulnerable to the assault of the Portuguese. Thus, most of the royal family of the Malaccan palace fled to Johor, Pahang and Perak and establish their own Sultanates. The Portuguese has destroyed the Malaccan Royal palace and all the archive of the Malaccan Civilisation to the ground. If you go to Melaka there's almost nothing left by the Sultanate and mostly you can find artifacts of the Portuguese. This happened before the arrival of the Spaniards in the philippines and the ducth to the straits of melaka.
@@dofinoah where do youthink magellan got his idea to circumnavigate the globe? Magellan fought in malacca and his slave enrique was from there. Lucoes were also in malacca with some serving as lacsamana or temenggong. Techinically, the Philippines was under brunei, but when malacca fell, the others were similarly weakened.
@@markvincentbaculna7744 Yes, sad to see that most of Indonesians, Malaysians, and Bruneians views us as people who are completely alien from them, when in fact we're no strangers to them, we share a lot of similarities but due to colonization, a lot of those similarities either diverged from each other, or got completely wiped out.

As a Filipino with Spanish, Mexican, Chinese, and Mediterranean ancestry. This crossover war indeed happened in our history.

Remember that glorious war between Persia and Venezuela?
It happened!
In 1943 there was a German soldier of the Wehrmacht who's parents migrated from Germany to Venezuela where he was born before they remigrated back to Germany where he joined the military to serve in WW2.
On the other side there were Tajik soldiers fighting for the Soviets Union, as Tajikistan was part of the Soviet Union at that time and Tajiks as an Iranian speaking nation are basically Persians so we have a forgotten war between the Persian empire and the modern state of Venezuela, right??
This is probably some of the most interesting topics I’ve seen
The relationship between the (pre and post-colonial) Philippines and Brunei is pretty strong, despite the difference in ideology. There is a general recognition of familiar histories and ties. In the last Opening Ceremony of the 2019 SEA Games hosted by the Philippines (the last SeA Games broadcast online and on TV before the start of the pandemic) both President Duterte of the Philippines, and the Sultan of Brunei HRH Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah, were seated together side by side. Also, the largest mosque in the Philippines is in Cotabato city, named after the Sultan of Brunei. There is also a branch of the Bolkiah Dynasty that live in the Philippines. So we understood the seating of HRH the Sultan of Brunei and our president being a reunion or reminder of the debt we owe them, and that our countries would have been one of it wasn't for the Spanish.
Around Mexico, there's also a general feeling of brotherhood between both Meixco and the Philippines. There is a depenrespect that "we've suffered the same" under the Spanish, who destroyed a growing thalassocratic civilization in the Philippines, and spelts the end of the Aztec and various Nahua and Maya remnant civilizations in Mexico. The Hispanization that happened to the Philippines was done via Mexico and so you'd find the Spanish similarities are actually those between Mexico and the Philippines. Manila Shawls, "explorer helmets", Cuban shirts, Jusi and Piña fibre, tuba and tequila and mezcal all drunk in Mexico, actually originated from the Philippines (no word of a lie!). Many Filipino foods like tabletas (cacao) and champorado, menudo, tamales, Turon, relleno, caldereta, and any Hispanic elements are all from the same hybridized culture the post Aztec Mexicans had, and that's why 3% of Filipino DNA is Nahua (Aztec). This is why you'd find some Mexican and Filipino music culture and dances that are similar. This was all on top of a deep substratum of Austronesian (Malayo-Polynesian) culture and ethnolingusitic identity (re the strong tribal tattooing culture of the unhispanized areas of the Philippines which mirrors Polynesian tattooing traditions), which was then highly influenced by Hinduism and Islam in the Middle Ages (the dominant culture now of Brunei and the southern Philippines).
The Sultanate of Sulu and Maguindanao was requested by the Ottoman Caliph (the religious leader of all Sunni Muslims worldwide akin to a Pope on Catholicism) to end their jihad in Mindanao and Sulu, and to cooperate with the US and British after they won the Spanish American war and assurances were made that the US and UK wouldn't force convert the Bangsamoro people to Christianity as the Spanish tried to do. What happened instead was they were shafted via the North Borneo treaty for Malaysia to "lease" Sabah to the Sultanate of Sulu. The Malay word used was reinterpreted to mean "give" and so the Philippines lost Sabah due to legal jargon.
A century before the Spanish arrived, one of the Sultans of Sulu (the East King of Sulu) Paduka Pahala, was buried in Shandong in southern China after visiting the Ming Emperor and passing away on his way back. The Ming Emperor gave him a state burial and his descendants still live there, the Hui Chinese (Muslims Chinese) population of Shandong province. The associations the Philippines has to some really disparate places worldwide runs deep and explains just how unique a mix the country is.
It’s actually a misnomer that Filipino dna has any Aztec blood at all….
@@Oybpveynone of all there asian!
Amazing video XD do you have the sources somewhere? I'm a Mexican history major student and I love early new Spain, and it would help a lot for the thesis.
Also, a bit clarification maybe. Spain didn't discriminate indians as plainly as we usually thought, there were different privileges depending of Wich indian you were, so it would be nice to pinpoint who was able to join the army, I would say Tlaxcalans were the ones in Philippines, this because they were a warrior culture and respected as allies by the Spanish.
I don't think they would allow descendants of the Aztec many privileges, let alone to fight (half of Mexico's indians wouldn't allow it for obvious reasons).
And yes, I know the sources say Mexicans, Wich is a name of the Aztecs but Spanish (for what I've read from priests) called Mexicans to everyone of Mexican language, Wich is náhuatl, and was spoken by tribes from all central México and they weren't necessarily aztecs. The nahuas include the Tlaxcalans, not only allies, but veterans of the conquista, that learned to use pike and sword (check códices of indians with swords, they're pretty cool).
So my bet is that they weren't Aztec but Tlaxcalans and neighbors called Mexicans cause they speak mexican language.
I would love to see more videos of Spanish Philippines, our lost cousins, and also the Mexican conquest post the fall of Tenochtitlan cause nobody talks about it. And again, indians with swords!
Love you channel. It has really opened the view of many eras
And sorry I write too much ;-; I like the subject. (Also give me the surcesss)
Due to the prevalence of race mixing, do Mexicans generally view themselves of descendants of both the Spanish and the Aztecs?
Also, just like to say I love hearing that you’ve taken an interest in early colonial history. It seems to be an unpopular area of study and interest in anglophone Canada and the US.
@@kingstarscream320 there were more tribes than Aztecs ( real name was Mexicas ), but sadly Mexicans thinks Aztecs represented the 95% of all natives in Mexico.
Mexicans are the result.of mixing all ethics in Mexico with Spanish people.
@@zamirroa Indeed. So the average Mexican person doesn’t necessarily focus solely on their European ancestry as is the case with most Americans and Canadians?
@Shy Cracker completely wrong. Spanish picked and chose which tribes to ally with or war with, they also committed genocide and enslaved tribes. See the tainos in hispaniola.
There's a story here about how the Spanish kept getting steamrolled by a bunch of mountain headhunters
I will never again make fun of Age of Empires 2 for all the weird matchups that typically happen.
As a Bruneian, thanks for covering about our history, its very underrated and forgotten. Also I didn't know Ottomans joined in our ranks in our army
The Spanish weren't ousted by the Americans.
The Spanish signed a treaty to sell what became the Philippines to the Americans, but by the time the Americans landed, Manila was practically already surrounded by the Philippine army.
The fun part: the Spanish would have been driven to the fortress of Manila and other forts sooner had Japanese aid arrived sooner. However the first arms shipment was redirected to China to support one of the Warlords; by the time the next shipment was en route, the Americans already landed. The Japanese did not want to risk a war with the Americans and recalled the ship. Aguinaldo for his part was supported by feudal lords, many sugar barons, and would much rather compromise with the Americans and gain trade rights (they got their free trade; Ferdinand Marcos was originally a Liberal, until it left the Party because even sugar barons had limits on douchebaggery, except for Marcos and its buddy, Benedicto, under which a great famine happened on N-Words island), while militarily he was basically to Filipinos as something akin to how Mel Gibson described Horatio Gates. Sure those conventional line tactics from Prussia, Napoleon, and the recent Boshin War worked on disparate and spread out Spanish forces, but that's not going to work on American Marines and later Army troops that would keep getting reinforcements and had good central command with communications lines that were not even cut.

Tagalog is in a way a lot like English where there are so many loan words. The word for "father" is OG Mexican, the word for mother is like "tah-tay" and "nonna" together (nah-nay; longer A's on both words), gradnparents are Latin (ie nonna to "lola") but the word for older siblings are Hokkien ie "ah-tzi" (ate, ie ah-te) and "que-hya" (kuya, ie kuh-yah). Uncles/Aunts are Spanish, "tio/a," but the term for cousin is of Hokkien origin.
"Saya" in Japanese means "(sword/knife) sheath," but in Tagalog it can also mean "(long) skirt," as Tagalog outfits are not one-piece robes. This also predates the 90s movie trope of femme fatales breaking necks with their thighs, and given how many Filipino martial artists were involved in Hollywood films at the time (all the way to John Wick today), I wouldn't be surprised if the psyche of looking thighs and legs as literal lethal weapons (and not just weapons of mass distraction, as in Mindanao island and Sulu, etc) flowed from Luzon and into California. Another power dynamic in language: the idiom "under de saya" (that's three languages in one go) which refers to submissive straight male partners being like little boys hiding under Mommy's skirt. Such dominant women aren't just dominant over their husbands, they're sometimes like their moms and are the closest thing they have to, say, consumer protection. What we laugh at today as "Karen" used to be a heroic figure in the Philippines thanks to inept consumer protection. In any case, Freud can explain why Filipinos use a word for "sheath" to also mean "skirt."
You'll notice even weirder stuff if you speak the language. You know how British say "biscuit" and Americans say "cookies?" Some Filipinos tend to say "biscuit" if the rest of the sentence is Tagalog or Spanish, or any of the local languages, but chances are will say "cookie" if the rest of the sentence is English. It doesn't matter if the food in question is European (shortbread, Danish stuff, etc) or American (like Oreo and Chips Ahoy, their local/regional derivatives, or home made), the determinant for what they'll be called is more likely what language the sentence or question is in than what the hell they're referring to.
N word island lmao. Seeing filipinos writing is pretty weird indeed, and a little addition here: in Portuguese, skirt is called "saia", which sounds exactly the same as the Japanese/Tagalog word "saya" you mentioned. So I guess Filipinos took the Portuguese word but decided to write with an Y?
would've been a funny timeline if the Americans kept the Philippines as a state instead of giving it independence and we'd have N-word Occidental and N-word Oriental today
@@l.palacio9076 Possible, save for one thing: I still have to pick up a dictionary for what "scabbard/sheath" is in Filipino. "Saya" is commonly used enough.
Alternately, it could have been both. Saya as skirt could have been first, but that thighs and legs = lethal weapons (of mass distraction) possibly helped adopting the word for "sheath" as post-Sekigahara ronin and Catholic converts settled in the islands.

Thanks for highlighting the Castile War. It's quite messy though. Prior to the Spanish invasion the Sultan sent an army to march against Manila but was cancelled. The Bruneian capital was heavily fortiefied so the Spanish managed to get 2 Bruneian defectors to help out how to breach the fortification.
The Spaniards manage to hold about 70+ days before a Bruneian counter attack drove them out. After that both Brunei and Spain had this forgotten crusade for about the last 300 years. There were times both countries sack each other capitals, Brunei being creative set up the pepper defense strategy by having British ships to guard the pepper trade which they set around the capital just to show the Spaniards don't come close.
300 years pass and both countries are weak to face new adversities, Americans against the Spanish then Brunei against the Brits.

Thank you for this video!
Great video as always
There were Assyrian christians from Kerala fighting for Portuguese, new catholic converts from West coast of India. Tamil merchants from India and Sri Lanka were also present in SEA.
Turkestan riflemen from Central Asia were hired by the sultanates in India, they joined the muslims in SEA.
Cant wait to see you cover the ming fighting dutch on Taiwan with Ethiopian soilders
Wow I guess it’s like they say history is stranger than fiction
Truly.
As a Filipino, I almost had Identity crisis when people from different culture from all over the world tried to influencd us.
@@cjmartinez8318 Majority of us are Malay so it's not that hard but sometimes it's Chinese.
Tlaxcaltec warriors were allies to the Spanish , it was them who made possible the conquest of Tenochtitlan the Mexica or Aztec capital . Thay had thousands of warriors , so after the wars their leaders were given titles of Nobility with a Familiy Crest , they colonized different parts of todays Mexico . So they kept loyal to the king of Castilla . They are a Nahuatl people , so they speak the same language as the Mexica or Aztecs . They were fierce and loyal , as compared to the Mexica . Most of the Aztecs you mentioned , would have actually been Tlaxcaltec . I love this story , but I feel it necessary to point out the difference . Aztecs and Tlaxcaltec were enemies . So not the same , but speaking the same language . Like a Spartan and an Athenean a milenia ago .
Imagine an Empire total war map from Sumatra to Filipina, covering Indochina, Indonesia, southern China, with half a dozen empires (Siam, Aceh, Cambodia, Annam, Bali, Brunei...) and colonial powers or pirates coming in and out from every corner (Spanish, Portuguese, Ottoman, Japanese,...)
So, my Age of Empires 2 battles are historically accurate?
@Shy Cracker Damn, gotta love fiction
It's like an Age of Empires 2 match in real life
Great video, very interesting.
Nativr Filipino here, I knew about palengke, but I didn’t hear about Tatay being an Aztec loanword. Very surprising and very informative!
Ama is local Tagalog word.
Why so many Empires wants to conquer our island?
@Tomoee The Philippines isn't technically full of gold, but a way to find the Spices which is equivalent to Gold at that time.
They should make a total war game based in Southeast Asia
This is amazing. I was never taught this!!
You got to love the Spanish Empire, they just wanted the whole world and never objected to alliances with ANYONE if needed.
10:50 Sounds legit. According to “ Filipino, English and Taglish” by Thompson RM, et al (2003): The modern-day Filipino (standardized Tagalog) lexicon, which along with English, is one of the two official languages of the Philippines, is comprised of Tagalog and other Philippine languages 52%, Spanish 13%, NAHUATL (Aztec) 10%, Malay 10%, American English 7%, Chinese languages 7%, Sanskrit 1% and Arabic 1%.
So, almost as many Aztec words as there are Spanish words, and way more than English, Chinese and Malay, a related Austronesian language. Imagine that.
Stable video 👍
Thank you for the history info I didn’t know this
This sounds like a history fan fic
A video on the classic Mayan-Korean skirmish for the Lone Star State would be appreciated
This is FASCINATING !!!
I wonder what ethnicities were present among the Spanish and Portugese pirates who used to plunder the coasts of Bengal in the 16th to 18th Centuries?
A brilliant video 📹
Title sounds so historically outrageous, I had to view 🤣
This sounds like a skirmish match out of Age of Empire 3.
The world is really small after all.
Nice one for secretly adding the Spoliarium by Juan Luna at the background there, you know your stuff good sir.
Depicting Koxinga in Qing uniforms is wrong. He was a Ming loyalist and would not have worn manchu clothes
I love using Aztecs in Age of Empires. Great video.
Basically if you look at Asia/Africa in the 1500s, it was the Muslim Alliance, Anti-Muslim Alliance, and China. Basically those three factions. (Mongols/Tartars kind of had their own thing going even though they were "Muslim". They spent more time fighting Muslims then non-Muslims). Basically Portugal made inroads in the Indian Ocean by aiding Hindus against the Mughals. The Hindus allied with the Christian Portuguese against Muslim Mughals. Ethopia also allied with Portugal against the Muslims. Spain came in from the West eventually going into the Philippines and bringing over half of Mexico to settle the Philippines. I think a lot of Filipinos maybe descendants of the Aztecs.
Most Filipino's descend from Austronesians, and Malay's.. then a huge number from the Spanish, and Chinese, and lil bit from Japanese, and American..
Over half of Mexico settling in the Philippines? Where did you get that from? Some did settle there but Filipinos to this day are still mostly Austronesian.
True
Nope philipina are majority Austronesian and minority native aeta
I was shocked when you said my country. I knew about this war, but having Ottomans and Aztecs involved in the war is new to me.
after seeing this, i really hope youd cover the kingdoms and sultanates of SEA during the early modern period in your future videos. there are so many unique sultanates and kingdoms during that era😁
You completely missed that at this time Portugal was under the rule of the king of Spain, being both empires United. Most of the names you gave as "Spanish" were actually Portuguese
Not in 1578
Next lets talk about the Malays in the service of the Dutch East India Company fighting in Bengal against the British in 1756
Huh that’s interesting , I’m Bangladeshi-American and I never knew that lol
@@proger1960 It happened in 1759, I misremembered the date. This was part of the British effort at consolidating its holding in Bengal. The battle of Chinsurah. In 1759 the Dutch garrison of Chinsura, on its march to Chandernagore, attacked a British force under Colonel Forde.[1] The Battle of Chinsurah lasted less than half an hour and ended with the rout of the Dutch attackers. The battle resulted in the end of Mir Jafar's reign.
@Shy Cracker Its called the Battle of Chinsurah in 1759 . Part of the 7 years war. A truly weird and global conflict.
@@sharadowasdr Fuck Mir Jafar, all my homies hate Mir Jafar. Also ,my country got colonised at the end of the 7 years war😔
Thanks for info
