@@Benito-lr8mz The Viceroy of Portugal was the political chief of the Kingdom of Portugal and the highest representative of the King of Portugal (not the "hispanic" king") during the period of the Iberian Union, when a personal union existed between the monarchies of Portugal (which remained independent, and not part of an "hispanic" monarchy... whatever that means) and Spain. According to what was established in the Cortes of Tomar in 1581, the regency of the Kingdom of Portugal always had to be trusted by the king to a Portuguese, or in alternative to a member of the Royal Family. This was, in a general way, fulfilled, having during two periods the regency been trusted to a governmental council called Government Junta of the Kingdom of Portugal.

@@antonexx i) The duke of Alba was vice roy for only two years in a transition period. The Cortes of Tomar Agreement was held in April 1581 and he left office in 1582, beginning the rule of only Viceroys from the royal family or by portuguese. (just read the agreement, I'm not making sh*t up); ii) Portugal was not defeated, a huge part of "Portugal" supported Filipe's claim. There was a short civil war between other candidates and Filipe, who was supported by most of the nobility (which integrated the army of the Duke of Alba), clergy and high merchant class, as he made it clear to respect portuguese independence - which he then pledge into law in the Cortes of Tomar agreement (again, just read it). So, no. There was no defeat nor "forced into it". Filipe was the most supported candidate by far within Portugal. The only time that (de facto, although not de iuri) Portugal was "forced" into the union, was after 1637, which was the first time any of the "filipe" kings, in this case Filipe III of Portugal (Felipe IV of Spain), raised taxes without summoning the Portuguese Cortes, making it a "de facto" province of Spain. This led to a uprising less then 3 years later, that deposed Filipe III as king of Portugal, in favor of João IV. Not understanding that there were two different crowns and that any Union without Portugal's consent was impossible, were the reasons for the dethroning of Filipe III (Felipe IV of Spain). It's funny how you, so many centuries later, still have difficulties understanding the same thing.

This is very important to understand why Belgium and the Netherlands are two different countries.

Too many errors due to a clear lack of documentation about the time, resorting to topics that historiographically have become obsolete and refuted a long time ago. It is obvious that Charles I of Habsburg was king of Spain since 1516, and was not named emperor of the Holy Roman Empire until 1520 as Charles V. You should know that Luther's Protestant Reformation dates back to 1517, and was adopted by the nobles against the people (1524-1525) in Germany. The same thing happened in the Netherlands, where intolerant Protestants (Calvinists) began the revolt in 1566 by attacking Catholic churches and burning statues of saints. The inquisition had almost no presence in the Netherlands and was withdrawn in 1577. Meanwhile, radical Calvinists had seized power in Ghent on 28 October 1577, turning the city into the Calvinist Republic of Ghent, and the bishops of Bruges and Ypres were captured and imprisoned. The new regime established a Protestant theocracy that vehemently persecuted Catholic clergy. It was also militarily expansionist, seizing control of other cities in the County of Flanders, where similar Calvinist committees were set up. In 1579, Wetteren was plundered. Every town that experienced a revolution would witness iconoclastic acts and violence against Catholic clerics. The Ghent radicals sought to take a leading role in the anti-Spanish rebellion, which they saw as a religious war against the Popish Catholic heresy. The Union of Arras is created. Thus, the Catholic provinces of the south were reconciled with the king to have his protection against the intolerance that the Protestants now showed, which became the Spanish Netherlands (1609-1714). The indigenous Americans were subjects of Spain, therefore they could not be enslaved. As I said, too many errors, a clear lack of research, it is just a compendium of old beliefs long ago discredited.

@@eg310 Slave labor as you call it spread throughout the planet until well into the 19th century, we still find children from the age of 4 working in the English, Welsh and Scottish mines (Frederic Engels, "The situation of the working class in England" , from the year 1845). Work in the mines was very hard all over the planet, miners usually died of silicosis before the age of 35. It is quite true that the American Creoles resisted implementing the laws that went against their economic interests, hence the king sent viceroys and officials from Spain that he trusted. In the wars of independence of the 19th century in Spanish America, the indigenous people generally positioned themselves on the Spanish side, since they knew that without the counterweight of the Spanish laws and officials who defended them, they would be harshly exploited or exterminated by the Creoles, as well happened. The monarchy used the "Residency Trials" to review the actions of crown officials in America. The convictions of Don Pedro de Heredia, founder of Cartagena de Indias and governor of Nueva Andalucía, were famous. In the second residency trial of the four he had, he was convicted, his assets were confiscated and he was in prison for a time along with his brother, or that of Viceroy Solís, who was convicted of fraud and dissipation of the public treasury.

It looks like you just described the "Spanish Black Legend" We used the numbering of the monarch's name according to his highest title, the Holy Roman Emperor, where he was already the 5th to bear this name. Although in Spain, where he actually became king while his mother was still alive, he was Charles I. Yes, the Reformation began even earlier, but the video tells the story of the Habsburgs and their conflicts with Protestants, which began with the Schmalkaldic War and continued until the Thirty Years' War. With the War of Dutch Independence, the list of reasons for this war was also simplified. And yes, the Dutch were not innocent victims in this war, they committed many crimes. However, we should not forget that the Spanish governors, among whom the most famous was the Duke of Alba, also had no less influence on the escalation of the conflict than the Dutch. Therefore, both sides were the instigators of the war. The history of the discovery of America and the emergence of Spanish possessions in America was only briefly mentioned in this video. And if the viewers want to watch a video on this topic, we are ready to make a video on this topic as well

@@History_Mapped_Out First of all, thank you for taking the trouble to read my comment and respond, thank you very much. I know that it is really very difficult, if not impossible, to explain the complexity of historical events in short videos, but I cannot help but express the errors I see or complement the information you offer so that viewers can have a more accurate image of history. My apologies if I am too demanding when rating your work, but I think someone who aspires to make "serious" videos about historical events should do that, stick to the facts. To say that gold was extracted by slave labor from the "natives" is false, the natives worked in the mines, but not as slaves, no subject of the crown could be a slave. Furthermore, they were immediately replaced by, now it's true, slaves brought from Africa. Making all of Flanders independent on the map is completely unacceptable historically. You also excuse yourself by saying that both parties were guilty, when that is not the case, those who rebelled were the nobles against their legitimate king (even today the Dutch put excuses in the lyrics of their national anthem) in addition to the fact that in the video you do not attribute any responsibility to the Dutch, no matter how much you say it now. You talk about the inquisition, which as a literary myth of an "all-powerful and evil organization" is very good, but historiographically it is totally surpassed and disproved. The propaganda and myths invented as you say by the "Black Legend" about the Spanish Empire had their reason for being in the 16th to 19th centuries, and they did their job very well, but the Spanish Empire no longer exists and we are in the 21st century, so it is not so difficult to read any current book about the 80 Years' War or the Spanish inquisition and abandon the false clichés of past times. I hope you continue to improve in the future, nothing would make me happier.

There was no "Kingdom of Spain" during the Habsburgs' reign, there were the Crown of Castile and the Crown of Aragon. The Kingdom of Spain only appears as a political entity in 1833 with the Javier de Burgos' Decree, during Bourbon rule.
