The History of Mexico in 16 Minutes

The History of Mexico in 16 Minutes
The history of Mexico, similar to its upper neighbor of the United States, includes a significant period of colonization followed by a war for independence. After the Spaniards toppled the Aztec Empire in the 16th century, their influence spread throughout the region until the Napoleonic occupation of Spain complicated matters in the 1800s. A rebellion was inevitable as the Mexican people grew tired of their overbearing colonizers and finally reached their limit.

    5:37 nah men you lost me for good... you just cant just say stuff like "this person bravely murder that other person" especially when talking about genocide, massacre of innocents and slavery. For being called Knowwedgia, it seems there is a LOT of stuff you dont seem to know. History youtube channels should be better, you cant give yourself the luxury of not knowing this, as these days these channels are replacing tv documentaries and books PS: l have to say, the way you butchered the Spanish,Aztecs and Mexican names its disgusting... next time use google translate and hear the pronunciations, is not that hard you know?

    I can't even begin to tell the inaccuracies this video tells, it is so wrong, Moctezuma never tought Cortez was a God, in fact he told them to leave but Cortez pushed forward, Mexico was never colonized, it was in fact part of the Spanish empire, it wasn't a colony, the war for independance was in fact a war against the french imposed ruler and it was a war supporting the restoration of the original spanish monarchy, in the end the much weakened spanish spanish empire had so little power over new spain that it ended up becoming independent thanks to people that saw the opportunity to create a new mexican epire, wich ended up in the country of Mexico.

I mean tbf most of their videos are less than 20 minutes but still makes it seems insignificant. Also 4:56 debatable I mean the Aztecs fought for slaves, they would capture their enemies alive and were built to travel on foot. The Conquistadors did have horses and superior weaponry, doesn't mean that they fought the same as Aztecs, they fought to kill and one fought for capture

    Some things are subjectively vague and misleading here. But I guess it's fine as an introduction for Americans. However a fundamental difference between the English and the Spanish In Terms of colonization that everyone should know: is that originally the Spanish Queen Isabella the Catholic ordered from start to Columbus that any native found in the new territory was to be treated as a subject of the crown and not a slave, thus the heavy Jesuit work with the natives, this had a long lasting effect, because the focus at the beginning was of integration. Not of extermination. This is why the largest part of the current Mexican population in Mexico is still brown. We were considered from the beginning, the Jesuit and other Catholic orders went in fact to such lengths and endeavours to learn and preserve the history and language of the Mesoamerican people, founding the very first University in the entire American continent that had in its first subjects the study of native languages. In contrast to the English and then American politics with the natives, mostly of extermination and then as tools in war.

    To be honest, I do feel a bit bad about Spain, they were once on top of the world, but with a little royal inbreeding and some bad Napoleonic luck they began their downfall and bad luck against the English. In fact most of the bad reputation of Spain was originally spread by the English in colonial times, and then by the Americans in the times of their Spanish-American war. Spain just lost it all and are forced to live today with a similar shame akin of the german people regarding their past ww2 History . And I say this as a brown Mexican.

    Spain is the mercenary and agent of the Anglos. They have ambitions when they become big. Otherwise, why would Spain resist the Muslim empire? It is not the aid of the Nordic countries. Spain is the Turks of Asia. They started as mercenaries and slowly gradually It began to become independent and expand, but the Turks succeeded, and Spain failed somewhat. After all, the mercenaries were not completely powerful. They were always in a state of instability, and it was very difficult to succeed.

    Not saying America doesn't have its sins. Our history is rife with genocide, slavery, and greed. But ... The Spanish brought Smallpox. Spaniards can point the finger at English and Americans all they want and say how bad we were. The Spanish either intentionally or unintentionally killed more Natives than English and Americans combined. Jamestown was able to settle on plowed land because the Natives had already been wiped out by Spanish Smallpox, which was proven by Anthropologists despite lots of rebuke and criticism from Hispanic peers. Then there's Cortes, Coronado, Pizarro, and Columbus. All four caused mass destruction and death of Native American civilizations. Columbus also kick started the American slave trade. Spanish priests with the mission system aggroed a lot of Natives by telling them they had to learn Spanish, had to become Catholic, and had to learn how to farm. Natives never wanted that. As a result, the Comanche and Apache especially turned hostile against the Spanish. That hostility was taught to their children and shown to the Mexicans. The Grandkids and Great-Grandkids then showed that same hostility to Texans. The priests recognizing this could have made different choices, but didn't. Their arrogance allowed for unnecessary hostility. And yes, white Anglos were no better. But it didn't have to be that way.

We never looked back ever since 34 years ago.

    The Reason why France invaded Mexico was because Russia sent their Navy to San Francisco and New York when England and France were just about to enter the war on the side of the Confederates since London created the Confederates. France was already in Mexico making a spear head movement to resupply the Confederates and to open up a Pacific Theatre and to create a port in California. England already amassed 11,000 troops and growing stationed at their Northern Confederacies border now called Canada ready to open a Northern Theatre to divert Union troops away from their Southern Confederacy then to attack The Unions naval blockade. The Union would have been completely destroyed and annexed by those two great powers leaving the Confederates to exist as either a puppet state of London or to be fully brought back into the fold of the British Empire. London was already courting (threatening/bribing) other countries to get involved like Spain while Russia was in talks with Prussia to ally with incase London was to intervene. Seeing all of this Tsar Alexander II wrote a letter to Queen Victoria saying “If you enter in this war it will be a casus belli for all out war with the Russian Empire”. The stage was set for the 1st World War and Russia stopped it. There is also a memorial in San Francisco for the hundreds of Russian sailors who came off their Asiatic fleet ships that died while helping the city put out a fire that threatened to lay waste to it during the War.

    The Russian fleet also threatened to Shell Australian ports along with other British Pacific Colonies if Britain aided the Confederates. A confederate war ship spent a lot of time in Australian waters and was supported by the Australian public, some even signing on as crew members. This Confederate war ship laid waist to the US Pacific whaling fleet and is reported to have fired the last shot in the war Russia also helped Thailand (Kingdom of Siam) maintain its sovereignty from being completely Partitioned/Annexed from the British and French around the same time. The very word Thai (ไทย) means 'free man' in the Thai language which is partially to thank to the Russians as they might have ended up being a colony or part of another country/colony if not for their intervention.

    @@howiehall4622 Also for a little more Context: The British (City of London) are the ones who created our divide in the first place to put brother against brother. After the war Lincoln wanted to rebuild the South and had plans to do so. He and half his Cabinet were assassinated by London. Many of the others that survived had multiple assassination attempts on them especially William Seward who had around a dozen or so, a few almost killing him. Most of the Confederate Operations for the Civil War and post war plans and assassinations were made in London and then sent to Montreal a hub for spies and intel in the Americas for the British Empire then passed through to Confederate President Jefferson Davis to follow the orders. Many of the South's own leaders were selling out the South to British interest even General Lee. Unfortunately London had many of their Tentacles and Webs on both sides. Lincoln stated that the Department Of State is completely controlled by British Interest that he had to constantly fight against. It was in the 1870s that a Paradigm Shift happened were the British took control within the Reunited States through subversion (which was easier to do now as their agents were brought back into the Union and many of their opponents assassinated) and have had it all the way up to this day. Some presidents fought against it like Garfield, McKinley, Harding, Roosevelt, and Kennedy and all were killed.

    President Santa Anas big ego is what triggered to lose mexican territory in the first place as well as the massacres towards the americans in Texas. Santa Ana was also a pedophile who would marry a 16 year old rich girl while he was in his 50's in order to get more money for himself for power. To this day, mexicans hate Santa Ana way more than Polk. Santa Ana betrayed Spain as well as Mexico. No wonder he died in poverty in Cuba in exile while the mexicans burned down Santa Anas museum that had his amputated arm skeleton on display in Mexico City.

    Este video tiene demasiados errores... Uno de ellos recae en el Cura Morelos, pues este jamas se "alio" con el en ese entonces Comandante Realista Agustin de Iturbide. De hecho, creo que nunca interactuaron de frente, mas haya de las veces que lucharon entre si. (Una de ellas desenboco en que Iturbide hiciera que el ejercito de Morelos se disparada entre si, cuando Morelos intento tomar Valladolid, el cual se transformo en lo que ahora se conoce como Morelia, y que Morelos como Itrubide nacieron ahi) Iturbide de unio a la causa independentista hasta ya su finalizacion (Pues fue este quien hizo que el recien Virrey firamda los tratados de Cordoba) El plan de iguala en el video se dice que fue planeado por Vicente y Agustin, cuando esto es erroneo. Agustin ya tenia el "plan de iguala" cuando decidio unirse a Vicente, pues este estaba siendo escrito cuando la "Guera" Rodrigues tento a Iturbide a formar a formar una nueva nacion, asi que la participación de Vicente en el plan fue solo en la practica. Tambien se pasan detalles del territorio del "primer" imperio, pues falta la zona que compone actualmente los paises de Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua y Puerto Rico. El como realmente fue que Agustin deserto la corona de Mexico tras verse obligado a tomarla, pues el congreso constituynte del momento conspiraba contra el y la influencia de extranjeros como lo es Robert Poinsett y la masoneria hicieron que personas como el mencionado Antonio Lopez De Santa Anna se "revelaran" Aunque con Santa Anna tambien fue en parte del labado de cabeza que le dieron los masones, tambien se puede intuir que fue una desicion personal por rencor, pues Agustin ya como emperador si mal no recuerdo, nego que el General Santa Anna se involucrada con su Hermana Mayor. No se sabe muy bien el por que el interes repentino de Santa Anna por la "Princesa de iturbide", pero se piensa que fue para obtener un estatus de nobleza y asi obtener cierto poder e influencia politica. Tambien en el video erra en lo de la igualdad de poblacion en el imperio, pues este en el plan de iguala y lo que se podria considerar la primera constitucion de Mexico, en uno de sus apartados dice "Establecer la union de todas las clases sociales", donde se imponia la igualdad social sin importar su origen etnico, seas español, seas americano, seas africano y asi. Mismo por el cual Vicente Guerrero decidio unirse a Itrubide, pues se buscaba la igualdad en la poblacion, y asi formaron el ejercito trigarante.

    Yes, a very rich history full of culture. Before Mexico, that region was called The Viceroyalty of New Spain, before that it was just a mix of different tribes into one Empire. Before the empire it was filled with same and maybe more tribes. olmeca people are the very first people to be known living in meso American. Most of the stone tablets and realistically any trace of Times before the olmeca have been buried by the dense jungle. However for the Aztec Empire history, most of the information that was recorded was destroyed by Spain. Hell even the Pyramids that the Aztecs discovered and built were torn apart and remade into Catholic churches. There's a video that explains which pyramids were dismantled brick by brick and used to rebuild a Church
