What I find really funny other than the fact that I'm watching the European History playlist in an attempt to get more studying in for my AP test that I will be taking in three days, is that I have that exact clock (11: 27. I used it throughout middle school and early high school to wake me up in the morning (I was kinda cheap it was $8, there is a light to light it up and the hands and dashes are glow in the dark. It's funny the things you pick up on when you really should be paying attention. Like in one video he had Gallifreyan on a chalkboard and I paused the video and went through the alphabet to translate it. Am I a dork, yes but thats okay!

The European history topic is so broad it has to be -selective- and I like the focus on Portugal [and Castilla/Aragon] otherwise we may not hear much about Portugal again! But a few 'global exploration' contexts: Italians important - Marco Polo, Giovanni Caboto ('John Cabot', Amerigo Vespucci, explored different parts of globe. And crucially the fall of Constantinople had cut off Asia from European trade. The British later piggy-backed on Portuguese/Spanish/Italian exploration, maritime technologies and pacification of indigenous civilisations to build their own empire founded on violence and greed (with conversion to Christianity the excuse.

The european conquerors raped indigenous noble women in a ritualistic domination ceremony.
----
(even though they were conquering -in the name of spreading Christianity)
How f. d up is that. My god!
So hypocritical. Not to mention they were welcomed and showered with gifts, all the while they prepared for a few days and sprung a kill-thy-host trick like a reverse -Red Wedding massacre-.

Bad episode, I'm usually a fan but you clearly went anti-Christian here. Christians were anti-slavery, especially toward the native Americans. The humanists were pro-slavery. So instead of criticizing humanism which was behind the rebirth of colonialism and slavery in Europe, you blame Christianity which is the one that ended colonization and slavery.

man this episode is so sad. i can only imagine what the world would be if the aztecs and incas are a large part of this world's population, existing with its own architecture, way of life, and arts. europeans are the true pillagers of the modern world

Not many people talk about the relevance Portugal has in the world today. But without the Portuguese, the world would be very different.

Watching these makes this direct product of colonialism, exploitation and a tremendous lack of understanding, very happy indeed.
