It's fascinating to me that the England vs Spain rivalry lead to this. they took their battle to another continent entirely. England took the north and spain took the south. And you can see from linguistic influence in the continent. the north is English speaking, and the south american countries are Spanish mostly and some Portugese.

In reflecting on this, the first attempted English colonizations fell short in part for the type of men they sent. The first to arrive were adventurers, military men and commercial sailors. These guys didn't have the required survivals skills of being farmers or fishermen. Even with Jamestown, the skill set of those who arrived was poor at best. When your choice of colonists is derived from those that were failing in your home country, lack of opportunity in their native land may not have been the only failing they suffered from.

Many of these were poor rabble that the King wanted off the streets because of complaints about "the homeless"

Philip II - King of Spain and Portugal (With all its possessions in Africa and Asia), King of Naples and Sicily, Duke of Milan, Lord of the Netherlands, King of the Americas and the Philippines.. sent the Spanish Armada to the Port of Dunkirk to embark some companies of Spanish Tercios and have them crossed over the English channel. When these ships passed by the English coast, they came across English ships which refused to engage in battle. Although Spanish ships presented battle, English withdrew time and time again. Spanish ships then successfully arrived in Dunkirk where they also fought off Dutch rebels. When General Don Alexander Farnese Duke of Parma, failed to show up with his Tercios as convened, the Spanish naval fleet had to circumnavigate the British Isles, as they had little gun powder left. Had they known they'd be facing a storm, they would've preferred to fight the English. Although there were various skirmishes in the channel, the primary objective of the Spanish Armada was to arrive at the Port of Dunkirk, which surely was a huge relief for English ships ‘guarding’ the channel. If the primary objective had been a direct invasion, the English navy would've not been able to stop it. "By 12 August, the English expedition was exhausted and, unable to continue, it headed for the coast. To justify his withdrawal, Commander Chief -Lord Admiral Howard obliged his captains to sign a memorandum in which they gave their agreement to call off the pursuit" (Kelsey, Sir Francis Drake, p. 411). Yes, this is an excerpt which confirms the English could no longer maintain their position at sea, thus the English ships did not pursue the Spanish, which in turn shows the English navy did not defeat the Spanish Armada. Spanish Armada was swept away by a storm in 1588. A year after, an even larger massive armada led by Sir Pirate Francis Drake and Sir John Norreys was sent by Elizabeth I to take advantage of the Spanish vulnerability...

_"If it had not been for the newfound tobacco industry in the original colony, it's likely that the English would have never been able to colonize North America permanently."_ I think that's way too big a leap. The French started their permanent Quebec colony only a year after Virginia with no tobacco in sight, depending on the fur trade instead. And that's how the northern English colonies got their start. Very little tobacco was ever grown north of Maryland, and was never needed. The Plymouth colony banned it. Side note: Virginia's tobacco plantations didn't cultivate the tobacco of the local natives. What they grew was tobacco from the Spanish Caribbean, which was stronger and tasted better. Virginia's advantage was there was far more land to reolocate to after tobacco farming ruined the local soil, whereas the islands still needed to be able to raise crops to feed themselves.

Remember it was a private company, the Virginia Company, not the crown that drive colonization. If the company had collapsed with Jamestown then the Plymouth Company would not have been revived later to settle the north and English colonization efforts would likely have dried up. This would have changed the course of history as Spanish, French and Dutch settlements would have likely taken over what became the original United States.

Pensacola was the capital of British West Florida, whose territory went all the way to the Mississippi River and bordered Spanish Louisiana.

The books say that Powatan tribe says it gained power over the land just south of the James river north to the Potomac river. If you look up the actualy tribe that lived on that land north of the James river. It was the Chickahominy . Jusst because one person dies an leaves you land doesnt mean you are of those people.

This was in the late 16th Century when The Netherlands was somewhere in the south of France. It moved north since then, and the Dutch became good at speed skating, but that chapter of history is told in another one of these great videos.

“By 1617, only 351 of the initial 17,000 colonists remained alive” 6:42 17 thousand? That number seems very high to me.

They missed out the Dutch and also the fact that timber was the original economic export. England had been denuded of trees by the end of the C16 and they needed firewood. Also amazing how many Americans do not know that tobacco was the foundation of America, and its only wealth generator, for about 100 years

Normally great videos but a HUGE jump from fledging Jamestown to suddenly having 13 Colonies. As an Australian I think we know much more about our Colonial history. Most American history seems to go - Mayflower then War of Independence.

That's what you learn when you don't get schooled within the country about which you're being taught. It might be that you're too focused on that extensive, criminal heritage of yours. It's a 12 1/2-minute video; what were you expecting, the history-book version? You can see how long the video is before viewing; so, if you want more detail, it's easy enough to avoid videos like this - that is, if you don't have the intelligence of the average convict.

by 1617 only 351 of the original 17000 colonists remained alive... I think a zero might have been added on there hahaha.

This isn't a video on how the English colonised America, this is a video about the early attempts at colonising by the English on the eastern coast of North America. It immediately skips from the founding of Jamestown to the Thirteen Colonies, with no mention of Canada or the Caribbean. "America" is the name of the entire landmass, and they couldn't have colonised the United States as that didn't exist at the time. Interesting for what it covers, but it misses out a lot.

I have visited Williamsburg, Yorktown, and Jamestown but for some reason did not remember how tobacco was the big export that initially made the colonies flourish and expand. My Dad did a genealogy back to a John Loveless who came from England in the 1700s who had settled in the southwestern part of Virginia (near Kentucky territory). My Dad's family lived in the same part of northeastern Ohio for generations that made the making of his family tree even possible, but it was his finding of a manuscript written by John Loveless and his son Samuel years later applying for war benefits for family members of the Revolution and the War of 1812 that makes his story sound like something out of the days of Daniel Boone if you take it as truth.

I think kidnapped is a little harsh . Disney gets it wrong and the Pop history gets it wrong. Relationships with the natives were still decent . The English still relied heavily on the Natives for survival , Pocahontas was taken to England as a hostage but in the traditional Roman since of the word . She was well treated but was unhappy ( I would too , having to leave warm and sunny Eastern Virginia for the dirty and foggy England ) . In the beginning the English settlers treated the Natives as equals but equally in a medieval since of the word . They were brutal in warfare but so were the natives.

The Spanish Armada did not turn back it passed right through the Channel harried by Drake and his fleet and made port in the Spanish Netherlands to pick up an army to invade England. But fire ships in the night scattered the Spanish fleet and prevailing winds forced them to sail north and round the tip of Scotland to get home. Hence the vast number of wrecks left behind on the West Coast of Scotland and Ireland. Pretty poor research to state in your video that they were forced back with a picture of a ship sailing Westwards down the Channel...

I can't even believe that just 600 years ago, Europeans did not know about the existence of a whole continent across the ocean. In these 600 years, a new nation called the Americans was born. Of course, many peoples participated in the ethnogenesis of Americans, but still the basis of the American nation is the British, Irish, Scots, Dutch, Germans, French, Swedes, Norwegians, Danes, Africans, Native Americans. A little later, Italians, Poles, Jews, Russians, Chinese, Japanese and many other peoples arrived in the United States. This whole mix of peoples eventually gives birth to talented people. All these talented people make America great.

There’s no alternative for tanks for people who prefer to stay in the realm of feasibility. The only counter to the god forsaken rocket bikes are other rocket bikes. There’s been no real successor to the jets we use today. Meta jets are just the same as they’ve always been. No F-35/22 plane to succeed them, so that regular pilots can still hold their own against the Mk2s. I don’t even feel guilty about disabling lockon through menus anymore, since there’s just no way to avoid the Mk2s. They will always get you eventually; no matter how many flares, loops, or speed manipulating you do.
