History Summarized: Atlantic Exploration

So you just conquered Iberia, and you're wondering where to go from here? It's a more common conundrum than you might think. Consider: a big wooden floaty house that goes splish-splash in the atlantic ocean. Anyway, this is a video about Portuguese and Spanish (erm, Castilian) exploration in the Atlantic during the 1400s. Please note my deliberate decision to Nope on out at the turn of the 1500s.

    Technically, you can blame 20th century Italian-Americans for that. They were pissed off with being second class citizens in the US (a few years prior, the largest lynching ever had taken place in the US, where 11 Sicilian boys were hung) and being that Columbus might have been Genovese, hence Italian, their argument was "Hey, if it hadn't been for an Italian, there wouldn't have even been an America" It had nothing to do with the actual Christopher Columbus. This argument was in regards to all those statues and commemorations that took place in 20th century America. As for the earlier Columbus love, well, since he was the first one to find the place, he gets the credit irregardless of how he found it or if he was even meant to find it

    For anyone who doesn't know what Blue is talking about with the Platinum allow me to illuminate: You see some Spanish Chad came back with some silver but thought it was a little strange so he went to get it appraised, and he found out that what he had been given wasn't silver at all. to them it was just Fool's Silver (like how there's Fools Gold) and so they just dumped whatever they got into the ocean without realizing that is was far more rare and far more valuable. And this went on for ~150 years or so

It was a warning to sailors not to sail any further out to sea or they would get lost and die. But in 1492 Spain went even further beyond, discovering the new world. And as such, the coat of arms was changed from non plus ultra to plus ultra, further beyond.

    Hi! I'm portuguese and I liked this video very much. It was really interesting to see how you guys on the other side of the pond view our history. It's interesting because e spend a big part of our school talking about this period. Still there are some things that I didn't knew, like that christian kingdom you talked about. Still there are some things really interesting that you didn't talked about, like the fact that in the 'Tratado de Tordezillas' we kinda knew that Brazil existed (before it was "discovered") so we asked for the line to be moved (just a little bit to the letf). I mean, what's the difference Spain, it's just a few miles of "ocean". There is a great book, "Os Lusíadas" that tells the story of Portugal until just before the spanish annexation. It's a great book because it's an odyssey, made to have the style and feel of de Eneiad, the Eliad and the Odyssey. Even Afrodite, Dionysus and the other gods make an appearance. It's agreat book and real classic that should be summarized.😉

    Some time ago I remember reading an article arguing that Columbus' error in calling the place he hit "The Indies" boiled down to... the maps available in Western Europe at the time grossly overestimating the size of Asia. People could accurately measure distances at the time, but it wasn't always easy and the knowledge didn't always cross continents well. So, if I remember right, he thought that Japan was closer to California, and he actually hoped that there was more Asia-adjacent land before Japan, and thought that he was discovering previously unknown to Europeans islands that were still... well, more Asia than Europe, or as he called them "The Indies." But the issue wasn't that he grossly underestimated the size of the world, but rather that his maps grossly overestimated the size of Asia.
