Not like most people know any Asian history either, even most European history is unknown by 99% of people in the West. The general population at best have a loose understanding of the most most (most) important dates and that's it, they don't really take the time needed to get it. I don't see why sub-saharan African history should be especially emphasized when people know next to NOTHING about Indian, Chinese, or middle-eastern history, despite those areas being (along with Europe) those in which civilisation advanced and thrived. You know what the real reason behind what you're saying is: your will of being generous and inclusive, not really your interest in a balanced history. Hypocritical. In the end people don't care about what's really important, they just care about pleasing their neighbours. Is this really education or just a superficial show for social peace.

I remember reading a book about her when I was 9 and pissed because no one else in the rest of the world had ever heard of her and I finally feel so validated and excited for the woman because she deserves sooo much more recognition. A movie about her staring Lupita would be amazing!!!! BLM!!

Wow rarely ever do you hear about a Queen having a harem of men....love it! It's always Kings/Emperors who we hear about having harems of women and concubines. I read about Queen Nzinga some years ago but the information was scant back then. So glad scholars are researching more about African history. Queen Nzinga was an amazing and strategic Queen. And her military power was amazing, considering the patriarchal attitudes towards women back then. What's also fascinating is she lived to be 80 years old (as well as her sister). Considering the low life expectancy for that time period. Pssss.....I've always felt women make great leaders. It's too bad patriarchy stunted this because it'd be interesting to see how history would've evolved with more women in power like Queen Nzinga. Outside of Africa, Native Americans were also at ease with female leaders! Kudos to Angola for being open minded towards female leaders!

Many African nations and Native American tribes were actually once very polyamorous. White patriarch cahnged their minds. Many of these cultures, the men didn't care about whether a child was biologically theirs, they all took care of each others children. Women were just as free to have many lovers as men were. Many deny this but its true. Men having harams who were monogamous came afterwards.

Thank you, Queen Nzinga, for paving the way for women ❤️ and for being an amazing example!

What a woman! Her story would make an incredible movie❤

There was this book series I read as a kid called "The Royal Diaries" and Queen Nzinga was one of my favorites to read about. She was an incredible woman.

Great video! Looking forward to seeing more African, Asian, and Indigenous figures covered on your channel.

She was nothing short of AMAZING!! Proof that anything you desire and have unwavering FAITH for you can make happen!! Despite what happened to her she knew she was GREAT!!

Gotta love diverse content 😌

Her power and wit is chilling. I'm speachless.

Thank You for doing this wonderful video on Nzinga. She was such a dominate & formidable ruler & is the reason for so much present day privileges. Her life was an uphill battle after her father died, but she faced all obstacles head on & achieved so much for her country & its people. Nzinga was a true blessing while she lived & reigned & is STILL the catalyst for so much today. Again, thank you for this wonderful video.

It's a crime we're not taught about people like her

Queen Nzinga is so amazing! What an absolute legend. I love it, I hope you feature more African queens in the future!

I love this video. What an absolutely badass woman. I’m so used to hearing about European kings and queens and their African counterparts. Please make more videos like this

Hey, is it possible for you to let me put subtitles in portuguese for this video? I really liked it and wanted to share to everyone I know but most of them don't understand english. I want them to see this side of portuguese colonialism. Many think that we were a pacifist empire and didn't oppress anyone from the colonies but we all know that isn't the truth (If you invade a country, you are already perpetrating violence). So I want them to realize we weren't cute and fuzzy. We were also perpetrators of racism. And it's still very much alive today even if it's not as bad as in other countries.

Thank you Lindsey. Thank you for featuring an African Queen. We need this more than ever.

Finally I'm not 7 hours late. Edit:thx for the likes tho I was so happy that I ate charcoal and gasoline and my body exploded confetti

Thank you so much for the video! I'm from Angola and had only heard of queen Nzinga from my mother. She told me that the Portuguese killed her when she met with them for negotiations. They never found her body or anything.

Omg thank you so much for this video❤ it made me cry, tears joy.
