Hello everyone! After Pre-Columbian America (ua-cam.com/video/Yipm-Be3uFQ/v-deo.html) and the European conquest of America (ua-cam.com/video/er4CMhp6hqc/v-deo.html), we now finish the trilogy of American history with the Independences in America. I hope you enjoy it! See you soon for Russian history!
if you got some time can you please do the story of many wars that happen in the cold war like western saha war and others ? also you are the ONLY one who helps me understand these histories i have good knowledge about these because of you friend thanks
Can you make a Video on the European Conquests of the Pacific and Oceania? I live in Australia and I'd love for you to learn about the Conquests of Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands and Country's.
The saddest war in the history of America, Paraguay was industrializing, it was going to be a power surely, it only needed the sea to unleash its full potential
Brazil had four annexed territories, in its edges, that became a state in the 80s/90s… Rondônia, Amapá, Roraima, and Acre. No one talks about it but would be interesting to cover it.
All that room, and it still wasn't enough. can you imagine the vast areas involved and the time it takes to even figure out where your boarder is, where the enemy is and how to get your army into position to meet the enemy. It amazes me that anyone knew what was going on prior to the invention of telegrams and powered transport.
Both of those started soon (less than a generation) after the beginning of this video, though the point is still applicable of course since they were implemented in Europe first.
It's important to notice Pedro of Brasil entered in conflict with the burgeoise, lower mobility and clergy of Portugal, not with his father, the King. Pedro became Emperor of Brazil but remained heir to the Portuguese throne. In fact a few years later, he returned to Portugal, deposed his usurper brother Miguel, having the support of a large part of Portuguese population and army (despite Brazilian independence), and put his eldest daughter, born in Brazil, in the Portuguese throne, while his son became Emperor of Brazil, ruling until 1889, and considered the greatest Brazilian of all time

First the European countries grabbed and plundered the continents of Americas Africa and Australia۔ killed and enslaved countless numbers of people and now are apologizing۔ why don't they give lands of native American back and go back to Europe
As an Australian, it sounds weird because we're taught the seven continent model with North America and South America as separate continents, and that "America" is a shortened version of the United States of America. However, it doesn't phase me too much because I understand that other people refer to things differently and that's perfectly fine. With that being said, it does sound weird having an American (US citizen), someone who probably would've been taught the same thing as I, referring to the Americas as a single "America".
Actually, the Americas are divided into "South", "North" and sometimes "Central" for geopolitical reasons (mainly because the North do not want to mix with the "underdeveloped" and "not white" South). But, it is a unique continent if you consider what a continent is.
@themaskstaysonatalltimes6364 The US recognized the traditional European view of America as a single continent with subcontinents (north and south) until the end of WW2. After becoming the global power, the government felt it needed a more distinctive name, creating the 7 continents model (in the 1950's) to that end. This way the USA (or now simply America) became a country located in the newly created continent of North America. Given the influence of the US in pop culture other countries of the Anglosphere adopted the new conventions. However, in most of the world the traditional continents model remained unaltered since 1507.
@@Pourmeup00 Actually it doesn't. The word "America" means different things in English and Spanish. In English it is taken to mean "The USA", in Spanish, it refers to north and south America. And before you say, "but America is a continent", continents are made up. English speakers consider the two parts to be separate.

Great video. But you completely left out Danish North America. Denmark too had New World colonies. It sold the Danish West Indies to the USA in 1917 (now the US Virgin Islands), but Denmark still possesses/governs the island of Greenland.

The Best? He said that Haiti took the entire island before declaring it's independence. That's wrong... They declared independence and then had an agreement with the Spanish side of the island that wanted independence from Spain, the pro Spain army was defeated and Spain was having a revolution in their homeland so they didn't even tried to get the island back... Haiti tried to keep the whole island for themselves breaking the agreement that was signed and soon after They lost the Eastern part of the island that is modern day Dominican Republic

Um detalhe que falta (a meu ver) que é muito importante para se entender a diferença entre o Brasil e a América Espanhola é a invasão de Napoleao a Portugal A capital do Império Português passou a ser o Brasil.

3:25 To this day we remember the british invasions of Buenos Aires in Argentina. I'm pretty sure for the english crown they were just a couple skirmishes in the grand scheme of things but they lit the fire of what later became the independence movement for the united provinces
Decolonization is a word used when the colonists go back to their countries. As an example i would say that Algeria was decolonized from France. About the Americas the colonists didn't go back to where they came from, they just seceded from their european empires.
Are u stupid or what, look up pieds noir. Arab musulman destroy zootharisme iran same thing with arabic musulman algerian who kicked the beberes pieds noirs. Arabic need to go back. Stop making false or misleading statements liar.
16:15 - It is worthy to note that the statement "Catholic church has apologised...." is not a proof that "it is all the fault of the catholics. It is a statement that should show you that the catholic church is the only institution that reflects and apologises even when (as stated in the video itself) it has fought with corruption, abuse and slavery involved in the colonisation from the beginning. So we have a situation where arguably the only institution that apologises for atrocities it has fought against anyway is now deemed as the guilty party because of that apology by all other parties who have NOT apologies and have NOT objected to the abuses anyway... Interesting.... :)
So who should apologize? Concerning The Vatican did advocate and support their subjects (empires) like Portugal, Spain and France to subjugate the native inhabitants in the 1500s and 1600s etc.
The Catholic Church being the only one deemed as guilty is the fault of media outlets who clung to that and ran with the stories that spoke only of the catholic church's crimes; I think the Catholic church meddled more in Canada than the US too so there's that. In the US, the federal goverment and Bureau of Indian Affairs were the ones running the boarding schools and pushing for certain policies like forceful sterilization. It's also funny that the catholic church apologized in 1992 but kept their residential schools in Canada open until 1996. So much for an apology, they clearly just did that to save face, the bastards.
The Netherlands has been quiet in this video, but where involved of conquesting Suriname 🇸🇷 Aruba 🇦🇼 Curaçao 🇨🇼 Bonaire 🇧🇶 Sint Maarten 🇸🇽 Saba and Sint Eustatius 🤓 I do appreciate the quiet name changing as they had been occupied by different neighbouring countries themselves

Well to be fair puerto rico still wants to stay with america. In fact, recently there has been referendums. In one, 52% of them wanted statehood. And in another, 97% would either want statehood or stay as a territory and 3% wanted independence.
@@imperify7671 this first referendum you speak of is the most recent one and that is accurate, but only because PR was given the option to either statehood or independece. It only won and by such a mild marging because puertorricans weren’t given an option to a third, either (stay) colonial or more automous status. This second referendum you mention is a decade old, where statehood purposefully won as the PDP (pro-colony aka Commonwealth) boycotted voting in this referendum as it would be useless in changing the current colonial status of the Island, of which they themselves created and support and are still a big minority, allowing this to continue. Same for the NPP (pro-statehood). Pro-independence has both grown and been taken more seriously by puertorricans since the second referendum you mentioned happened and as the younger generation replaces the old, true autonomy or independebce looks to become the future for this Island. Puerto Rico is tired of being exploited by rich usanians, being maintaned a colony as per such country’s wishes and not being allowed to self-determinate it’s own future before it was invaded and taken from Spain and repressing any form of national pride and ethnic cleansing until the proclamation of the current-standing Commonwealth, which even if to a lesser extent in some aspects, still continues the colony and its purposful dependence on the foreign empire
Venezuelan independence was declarated on 1810 and stablished on 1811, then they agreed to be part of the gran colombia in 1819, but venezuelan and independence indeed was way earlier than the video shows (as it was regained later on 1830 after gran colombia collapse)
OMG. So many things wrong with this video. Where do I begin? 1- Completely ignores Quebec as part of France. 2- The Amazon was not fully explored until the 1900, so should have been the same color as Patagonia. 3- 3:48 France literally occupied Spain, so it should've been colored blue. 4- 4:38 Wars of independence had already started as early as 1810, in Argentina and Mexico. 5- 4:45 O Higgins never crossed the Andes, he was in Chile. San Martin was the one who crossed. 6- 7:34 Uruguay was never part of Brazil. Uruguay remained loyal to Spain and created Banda Oriental. Then Brazil tried to invade it. 7- 8:52 The United Central America was briefly under Mexican rule. 8- 9:40 Completely ignores to mention the US conquest of California. 9- 11:22 Chile never had power to invade the Mapuches. It was Argentina, and Chile fearing loss of Patagonia, they aided the Mapuche. 10- Never mentions the Dutch! Surinam was part of the Netherlands until 1975!
Error When the Haitians occupies the Spanish side it was already independent, and it was in 1822, it used to belong to french for like 16 years but it went back to spanish again and then declare its independence in 1821
As a professor of history I actually like these videos, the are, however, very US centered... but, again, they are much better than other sites.. thank you..
They spent as long talking about Paraguay and longer talking about Brazil than they did the US. This was South American centered really. Argentina got a ton of time.
0:53 It's odd that in American narrative of their revolutionary war & independence the involvement of French Empire, Spanish Empire & the Dutch is never seem to be mentioned.
@@smakkacowtherealone I suppose that's one good thing & I wasn't aware of it. I personally never learnt about French involvement till I read a bit about how French lost their colonies in India to the British. Apparently the whole thing was part of the centuries old Anglo-French rivalry in Europe which lead to them fighting in multiple locations globally including North America & India. French lost in India & English/British lost in North America. About American independence, being non American I only learnt what I saw through US media whether cartoons or shows growing up, all basically suggested 13 small colonies beat mighty British Empire.
@@NikhileshSurve That is kind of how it's taught, as the French even are rarely mentioned. I'd never heard of the Spanish & Dutch involvement, though.
Worth pointing out, the Statute of Westminster did not apply only to Canada, but also to Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, The Irish Free State and Newfoundland.
Great video. Not easy to explain such borders movements in that continent. Thanks for your videos, it's the second one i m using for my teaching in écons. Will be great, although takes time, to regularly update the videos by adding to the end, latest.
0:22 those plantations seeds were stolen from Brazil by French and Dutch when they invaded the portuguese colony and the natives together with the portuguese kicked them out.
7:15 Actually, the last territory controlled by the royalists was Chiloé island, taken by the Chileans in 1826. After that, the royalists fought a a guerrilla war until 1832, but by then they were more bandits than true soldiers.
Nicely done! My only criticism is the short shrift you gave to the transfer of Louisiana from Spanish to French control. That seems like a pretty big land swap. I would’ve loved to learn more about that topic.
Notes: Mapuche nation didnt exist in eastern Patagonia. It was a tribe that crossed from the western Patagonia killing and enslaving natives (tehuelches and pehuenches) through the Andes. Also the video is not pointing the fact that Argentina inherited Malvinas islands directly from Spain in 1816, and the garrison was invaded and expelled at gunpoint by the british with USA collaboration in 1833. Note that Monroe Doctrine was signed in 1823, ten years before.
I got to admit this is quite really honest and objective. It's a good job, considering it's an anglo-american perspective of history. We would appreciate even more if native american populations 'ethnics' were named just as the Mapuches in South America. Since not naming people it may intend not willing to remember them. Very sutil but effective way of supression.
Not trying to make a point about colonization but it seems Canada is one of the few if only instance where the colonists never got a sense of independence, and went on to be relatively successful for what the geography of the nation is.
Bolivia actually won the war that was most critical for its existence. This was the war with Peru in 1841. For more that a decade before that, Peru had been intervening in Bolivia.
4:10- 4:16 "Independence movements secretly supported by the British and motivated by revolutionary Masonic lodges" .. I liked that phrase .. precisely the mazonia comes from the British, specifically the English and the Scots and in less Welsh and Irish measure
It's funny when in 11:28 "The local Population are violently crushed" (Mapuches by Chile and Argentina), but in 1:19 "the United States colonists have been extending their possessions westwards to the detriment of the indigenous populations, and in 9:36 When Mexico loses what happened to the local population in California? they were also violently crushed like the Mapuches in South America and the indigenous population in central USA. It's great when you told history but this subtle changes of words reveals the point of view of the author.
@@jayjasperjp I see that I misinterpreted the more recent news about it. I thought replacing Queen Elizabeth implied that they were becoming independent from Britain. Thanks for pointing out the contrary
Since the video was released, Canada and Denmark have agreed to spilt Hans island, giving the two countries a land border. So Denmark can be added to the list of European countries who still have control of areas in the Americas. By the way, I enjoyed your video.
United Kingdom Of Portugal and Algarves: So Brazil, you're no longer part of the Empire. *Brazil has left the chat* United Kingdom of Portugal and Algarves: Fuck go back
Time to clarify things. After the Spanish and there UK. allies on Hispaniola island were defeated by the French, the Spanish ceded the Spanish part of Hispaniola (the central and eastern part) to France in 1795. The Spanish still living there had one year to decide if to stay or leave. By 1801, forces from Haiti who were fighting the French defeated French troops that were stationed at the capital city of Spanish Hispaniola. So you could say Haiti had taken over all of Hispaniola. However, Napoleon sent troops in 1802 and together with some Dominican help they recaptured the Spanish part of Hispaniola. The French then went on to fight in Haiti but they lost. In 1804, Haiti (the western part of the island of Hispaniola) declared independence. In 1805 they once again attacked and reached Spanish Hispaniolas capital city but retreated when they discovered a French naval force nearby. In 1809, Spanish Hispaniola once again was part of Spain. By 1821 they declared independence. There were about to join Gran Colombia when there neighbor invaded. It took the Dominicans 22 years to regain there independence.
It made the Portuguese Royal family to go to Brazil and they ruled the whole portuguese empire from there for many years. It was the first european kingdom outside europe.

@@imperify7671 this first referendum you speak of is the most recent one and that is accurate, but only because PR was given the option to either statehood or independece. It only won and by such a mild marging because puertorricans weren’t given an option to a third, either (stay) colonial or more automous status. This second referendum you mention is a decade old, where statehood purposefully won as the PDP (pro-colony aka Commonwealth) boycotted voting in this referendum as it would be useless in changing the current colonial status of the Island, of which they themselves created and support and are still a big minority, allowing this to continue. Same for the NPP (pro-statehood). Pro-independence has both grown and been taken more seriously by puertorricans since the second referendum you mentioned happened and as the younger generation replaces the old, true autonomy or independebce looks to become the future for this Island. Puerto Rico is tired of being exploited by rich usanians, being maintaned a colony as per such country’s wishes and not being allowed to self-determinate it’s own future before it was invaded and taken from Spain and repressing any form of national pride and ethnic cleansing until the proclamation of the current-standing Commonwealth, which even if to a lesser extent in some aspects, still continues the colony and its purposful dependence on the foreign empire
5:50 You forgot about Panama independence from *Spain* in 1821 and we did it peacefully and without Simon Bolívar's help.
Thanks José de Fabrega
Venezuelan independence was declarated on 1810 and stablished on 1811, then they agreed to be part of the gran colombia in 1819, but venezuelan and independence indeed was way earlier than the video shows (as it was regained later on 1830 after gran colombia collapse)
10:02 "Oh look, Canada is so small"
12:53 HOLY SH-
OMG. So many things wrong with this video. Where do I begin?
1- Completely ignores Quebec as part of France.
2- The Amazon was not fully explored until the 1900, so should have been the same color as Patagonia.
3- 3:48 France literally occupied Spain, so it should've been colored blue.
4- 4:38 Wars of independence had already started as early as 1810, in Argentina and Mexico.
5- 4:45 O Higgins never crossed the Andes, he was in Chile. San Martin was the one who crossed.
6- 7:34 Uruguay was never part of Brazil. Uruguay remained loyal to Spain and created Banda Oriental. Then Brazil tried to invade it.
7- 8:52 The United Central America was briefly under Mexican rule.
8- 9:40 Completely ignores to mention the US conquest of California.
9- 11:22 Chile never had power to invade the Mapuches. It was Argentina, and Chile fearing loss of Patagonia, they aided the Mapuche.
10- Never mentions the Dutch! Surinam was part of the Netherlands until 1975!
Error When the Haitians occupies the Spanish side it was already independent, and it was in 1822, it used to belong to french for like 16 years but it went back to spanish again and then declare its independence in 1821
It yes Dominican republic got independence from France in 1804
As a professor of history I actually like these videos, the are, however, very US centered... but, again, they are much better than other sites.. thank you..
@ Leo Falcon they did also include Bolivar and La Plata Etc so not that US centred. Even though that is pretty basic, it's still something.
Also the main audience for this video in English would probably be, from the US.
Probably because the US is the only important country
They spent as long talking about Paraguay and longer talking about Brazil than they did the US. This was South American centered really. Argentina got a ton of time.
@@user-qv7rw7dq1d Nope)
This is such an amazingly enriching and insightful channel. Thank you so much 🙏🙏
0:53 It's odd that in American narrative of their revolutionary war & independence the involvement of French Empire, Spanish Empire & the Dutch is never seem to be mentioned.
I think the French are at least
@@smakkacowtherealone I suppose that's one good thing & I wasn't aware of it. I personally never learnt about French involvement till I read a bit about how French lost their colonies in India to the British. Apparently the whole thing was part of the centuries old Anglo-French rivalry in Europe which lead to them fighting in multiple locations globally including North America & India. French lost in India & English/British lost in North America. About American independence, being non American I only learnt what I saw through US media whether cartoons or shows growing up, all basically suggested 13 small colonies beat mighty British Empire.
@@NikhileshSurve That is kind of how it's taught, as the French even are rarely mentioned. I'd never heard of the Spanish & Dutch involvement, though.
"We did it completely by ourselves" narrative despite they barely being related to those ppl anymore lol
Well even you left out the native Americans, they helped as well
I’ve been watching these map videos for the past 3 hours straight
Imagine if the ex-Spanish colonies got their shit together after independence, they would be world superstars. Hilarious.
As a Hispanicamerican thats one of my greatest dreams
The spanish empire was mutilated
Excellent Production
Worth pointing out, the Statute of Westminster did not apply only to Canada, but also to Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, The Irish Free State and Newfoundland.
10:05 There were 4 provinces٫ not 3
Ontario
Quebec
Nova Scotia
New Brunswick
canadians are so nice they are the only ones who asked for independence without fighting
6:51 "The south secedes" I have heard that before
Yea lol thinking the same thing
Same
Same
Incredible video series
Great video. Not easy to explain such borders movements in that continent. Thanks for your videos, it's the second one i m using for my teaching in écons.
Will be great, although takes time, to regularly update the videos by adding to the end, latest.
Very well made. An eye opener. Learning a lot. Subscribed.
i would recommend not learning from youtube videos. this video is filled with bs
0:22 those plantations seeds were stolen from Brazil by French and Dutch when they invaded the portuguese colony and the natives together with the portuguese kicked them out.
7:15 Actually, the last territory controlled by the royalists was Chiloé island, taken by the Chileans in 1826. After that, the royalists fought a a guerrilla war until 1832, but by then they were more bandits than true soldiers.
Great video!
15:10 they actually succeeded in taking the islands but lost them later on when the english took them back
Because the british had to travel thousands of miles while the argentines just had to travel 3 miles
Can't wait to see you make one for Asia
Excellent visual storytelling
Finally i found a channel that know that America is a unique continent.
Fun fact:
Canada has never lost a war, and Switzerland has
Um . . .
Nah.. Too easy.
Can’t lose if you don’t fight
It did tho in the Russian civil war.
Brazil never lost a war either
Nicely done! My only criticism is the short shrift you gave to the transfer of Louisiana from Spanish to French control. That seems like a pretty big land swap. I would’ve loved to learn more about that topic.
8:47 wrong Texas borders it was way smaller

Grenada: Ima Pretend I Didn't See That
Interesting how they used the term crushed/invaded instead of colonized when the Mapuches were wiped out by Argentina and Chile.
Great video.
0:01 hey guys, mystery recapped here, today I will be showing you….
Lol the music
Crazy to think my existence is the result of this
MISTAKE...O'higgins never crossed the Andes with San Martin. He waited for him on the Chilean side of the cordillera.
Notes: Mapuche nation didnt exist in eastern Patagonia. It was a tribe that crossed from the western Patagonia killing and enslaving natives (tehuelches and pehuenches) through the Andes. Also the video is not pointing the fact that Argentina inherited Malvinas islands directly from Spain in 1816, and the garrison was invaded and expelled at gunpoint by the british with USA collaboration in 1833. Note that Monroe Doctrine was signed in 1823, ten years before.
Wonderful Video
I got to admit this is quite really honest and objective. It's a good job, considering it's an anglo-american perspective of history. We would appreciate even more if native american populations 'ethnics' were named just as the Mapuches in South America. Since not naming people it may intend not willing to remember them. Very sutil but effective way of supression.
They are irrelevant in independence movements.

Easiest way to ignore the confederacy 9:52
Not trying to make a point about colonization but it seems Canada is one of the few if only instance where the colonists never got a sense of independence, and went on to be relatively successful for what the geography of the nation is.
Hello people from Vlogging Through History's channel!!
Fun fact Bolivia has never won a war lmao
Wdym I checked on Wikipedia and saw that Bolivia has won WW2 and other wars.
Bolivia actually won the war that was most critical for its existence. This was the war with Peru in 1841. For more that a decade before that, Peru had been intervening in Bolivia.
@@maribelmenese4845wdym you think Bolivia solely fought in ww2 against the world and won lmao
@@laughs150 No. What I meant when I said that is Bolivia probably fought a war in ww2 and won. You smart ahh person.
@@maribelmenese4845 words matter
most excellent. encore!
So Texans fought for independence not from imperial Spain, but from democratic Mexico in order to keep owning slaves. Noice!!!
I am Brazilian and I never had a better class about america and our history than this!

4:10- 4:16 "Independence movements secretly supported by the British and motivated by revolutionary Masonic lodges" .. I liked that phrase .. precisely the mazonia comes from the British, specifically the English and the Scots and in less Welsh and Irish measure
Geo history make the earth shaped like a sphere at almost the end of the video
It's funny when in 11:28 "The local Population are violently crushed" (Mapuches by Chile and Argentina), but in 1:19 "the United States colonists have been extending their possessions westwards to the detriment of the indigenous populations, and in 9:36 When Mexico loses what happened to the local population in California? they were also violently crushed like the Mapuches in South America and the indigenous population in central USA. It's great when you told history but this subtle changes of words reveals the point of view of the author.
Damn, this video came out just a few months before Barbados independence
Barbados has been independent since 1966
@@jayjasperjp I see that I misinterpreted the more recent news about it. I thought replacing Queen Elizabeth implied that they were becoming independent from Britain. Thanks for pointing out the contrary
Since the video was released, Canada and Denmark have agreed to spilt Hans island, giving the two countries a land border. So Denmark can be added to the list of European countries who still have control of areas in the Americas. By the way, I enjoyed your video.
United Kingdom Of Portugal and Algarves: So Brazil, you're no longer part of the Empire.
*Brazil has left the chat*
United Kingdom of Portugal and Algarves: Fuck go back
That music hits hard
Great video very educational.. can you do decolonisation of Africa next :)
Forgot about Cuba. In 1959 it attempts to beak off from US rule. US in response imposes an embargo until today.
Time to clarify things. After the Spanish and there UK. allies on Hispaniola island were defeated by the French, the Spanish ceded the Spanish part of Hispaniola (the central and eastern part) to France in 1795. The Spanish still living there had one year to decide if to stay or leave. By 1801, forces from Haiti who were fighting the French defeated French troops that were stationed at the capital city of Spanish Hispaniola. So you could say Haiti had taken over all of Hispaniola. However, Napoleon sent troops in 1802 and together with some Dominican help they recaptured the Spanish part of Hispaniola. The French then went on to fight in Haiti but they lost. In 1804, Haiti (the western part of the island of Hispaniola) declared independence. In 1805 they once again attacked and reached Spanish Hispaniolas capital city but retreated when they discovered a French naval force nearby. In 1809, Spanish Hispaniola once again was part of Spain. By 1821 they declared independence. There were about to join Gran Colombia when there neighbor invaded. It took the Dominicans 22 years to regain there independence.
Dominican republic got independence from France in 1804
Can you guys do a video on the Middle Ages & Europe? Also the 1500s/Renaissance to today of Europe?
fasciniating how the Mapuche resisted any foreign invasion for so long.
Great work👍 I've watched videos about the Napoleonic Wars and none of them mentions what was happening in Europe's colonies.
It made the Portuguese Royal family to go to Brazil and they ruled the whole portuguese empire from there for many years. It was the first european kingdom outside europe.
