Revenge of the Basques

Just who in the world are the Basques and how did they manage to get their collective revenge on Spain after hundreds of years? Today we will be discussing the genesis and evolution of the Basque nation, how they came to be under the rule of various European powers, how they came to attain a recognizable status worldwide and how they fell into infamy in recent times.
Let me know your thoughts on the Basque peoples and their involvement in various events in world history, including those in Latin America. Thanks for watching!

    Álvaro de Bazán en realidad hay que distinguir el genotipo del fenotipo. Una persona puede tener sangre indígena y verse completamente europeo. Te digo porque con mi hermano hicimos una de estas pruebas de ADN y resulta que siendo que el es muy rubio y de tez pálida, tiene mas genes indígenas que yo, que tengo el pelo castaño y que me bronceo fácilmente. En mi caso tu no podrías saber si es que tengo sangre indígena al verme. Pero me identifico como latino y mestizo (a pesar de que tengo cerca de 90% de genes europeos) El punto es que en Chile (y gran parte de Latinoamerica) la gente mira con desprecio todo lo indígena y por lo tanto quieren siempre ser blancos y evitar ser asociados con los indígenas. En parte es herencia del sistema de castas español que quedó impreso en lo profundo de la cultura latinoamericana. Algo muy curioso que me he dado cuenta al respecto, es que en latinoamerica la gente tiende a ver a los mestizos de su país como mas europeos que los de los demás. Quizás es porque los mestizos de los otros país tienen facciones poco familiares que les llaman mas la atención, por lo que pueden identificar más rápidamente los rasgos indígenas. En todo caso en España también tienen mucha variedad de colores. Estudié en Alemania y mi mejor amigo era un asturiano de Gijón, que era mucho mas moreno que yo, siendo que él es 100% europeo. En fin, la apariencia es solo una manifestación de una parte de la herencia genética. Y si, el Chileno promedio si se ve mestizo aun que le duela aceptarlo.

An interesting fact: Boise, Idaho has the largest Basque population in the USA. I would love to hear you speak more on that. Another interesting fact: The city of Durango, Mexico, was founded by Basque explorer Francisco de Ibarra and he was the governor of Nueva Vizcaya (now part of the modern day Mexican states of Durango and Chihuahua). Nueva Vizcaya was named for one of Spain's Basque provinces.

    The Basque country (it's called that way in Spanish and in French) was originally much larger: Gascony (essentially the south-west of France) comes from Vascony - Vasque and Basque is actually the same thing. The separation of Gascony from the rest of the Basque country occured centuries ago, but point is, it covered an area much larger than depicted here originally. The Gascony was assimilated and the Gascon language took over the Basque language (people didn't speak French there until relatively recently).

It is well known that in Roman times, what is now known as the Gascony/Aquitaine region was home to the Aquitainian tribe, which according to the Roman historians it was unrelated to the celts, and had more relation with the Iberian tribes in the south in costumes and traditions. Here's some info about Gascony and how it's name evolved from the Ducate of Vascony, Wascony and eventually Gascoigne/Gascuña or Gascony: es.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gascu%C3%B1a And more info on pre-Roman Aquitanian language and it's relation to Basque language: es.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idioma_aquitano Both Castilian/Spanish and Gascon languages basically evolved from the roman dialects spoken by Basques on both sides of the Pyrenees

    You missed a fascinating twist, which helps to understand how the Basques managed to keep their culture, and why autonomy is the mahjor goal, not necessarily independence. In the Castilian-dominated Spanish kingdom the Basques were seen as the most loyal allies of the king. They were allowed to govern themselves after their own fashion. The Spanish kings swore under the tree of Guernica to respect their liberties. This changed in the 19th century, because the Basques stayed loyal to the losing side in the war of succession. For dictator Franco the traditional Basque liberties were a threat to his central control. The Basque fight is also a fight to get back the traditional autonomy they had during previous centuries.

    Fascinating people and history ... the language remains very much an enigma, Thanks for the video.

    Surprised how you pointed out the similarities of the Irish and the Basque... but didn’t point out that the Basque were the original settlers of Ireland before the Celts!
