    The video is great as usual, but there are some mistakes The picture you showed at this moment 32:16 ,These clothes have nothing to do with the clothes of the Moroccan sahara (or western sahara) and are not similar to what the inhabitants of the Moroccan sahara wear at all This picture belongs to a person who lives in the Middle east , specifically in the Arab Gulf ( Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the Emirates) , and it has nothing to do with the Moroccan desert, because the inhabitants of the Moroccan Sahara do not wear such clothes at all, and they have nothing to do with it. This clothes picture that you showed in the video is called *bisht or mishlah & al-ikal* belongs to the clothes of the people of the Middle East, specifically the Arab Gulf , and you mixed it with the Moroccan sahara clothes called *Malhafa* , which has nothing to do with the clothes of the Middle East and does not resemble it at all _Secondly : In 1884, Spain's interest in this Moroccan Sahara had barely begun, And Spain has not yet occupied that part of the coastal strip of the Moroccan Sahara that you showed on the map , We cannot yet talk about Spain’s colonization of the Moroccan Sahara except in the years between 1916 and 1934 ( It is the period in which the occupation actually began and Spain began occupying the Sahara areas one after the other ) , but before that Spain was only interfering financially and trying to buy some of the Saharan tribes with her money to try to buy their loyalty and give up their allegiance to the Sultan of Morocco The evidence for this is that at the beginning of the 20th century, Morocco was facing and fighting France in the Sahara of Chinguetti (present-day Mauritania) , not the Spaniards , because the Spaniards were not actually present in the sahara, to be fought by Morocco Until the beginning of the twentieth century when Morocco was very weak, even with that, the Chinguetti province is still part of Morocco, and the Moroccan Sultan "Abd al-Aziz" fought France in present-day Mauritania to defend this territory He sent a Moroccan army led by his cousin "Moulay Idriss" and also led by the sultan's deputy over the Sahara region "Sheikh Maa Al-Aynain" and he defeated France in the "Battle of Nimlan in 1906" But France, of course, will win over Morocco later, and Mauritania will be wrested from Moroccan sovereignty, and even occupy Morocco itself in 1912 Whoever wants to know more about this French-Moroccan war taking place in Chinguetti (present-day Mauritania) should read the memoirs of the French general *Henri Gouraud* He was the general who was leading the French army in its war with Morocco over the Moroccan province of Chinguetti This is the name of his diary (It is written in French) : " Mauritanie Adrar, souvenirs d'un Africain... / Général Gouraud" Thus, we ask a question: since Morocco was fighting France in present-day Mauritania, So where is Spain? And how did the Moroccan army pass through the Western Sahara that was supposedly occupied by Spain since 1884 as you showed on the map , and spain didn't stop him? And why did Morocco not go to fight Spain, which is closer to it geographically? because it is located in the Western Sahara, but on the contrary, it went to fight France in the Chinguetti sahara(mauritania), which is a region farther for Morocco than the Western Sahara? The answer is that Spain was not occupying Moroccan western Sahara at that time ( Which you are talking about at the end of the 19th century) and was not even present in that region in order to prevent Morocco from reaching Chinguetti to fight France. _As I said before, the Spaniards will not start their actual and noticeable presence in the moroccan sahara "militarily" until the years between 1916 and 1934 and Spain did not consolidate the complete occupation of the Moroccan Sahara until 1958, when it established the territorial administrative unit called "the Spanish Sahara" ( when Spain formally united Río de Oro and Saguia el-Hamra), due to the repercussions of its war with Morocco, " Ifni War” betwen 1957-1958. and this is was is in order to officially consolidate its colonization of the Moroccan Sahara So next time, please check that your maps are correct

    The only thing I don't agree with is your disagreement with Lenin over the purpose of colonies. Of course various colonies had different purposes and ruled by different powers, but they exist to subsidize capitalist economies. If your goal is to exploit resources, land, and people at a low price, they weren't going to be making money just from selling the materials. The purpose was to exploit cheaply to sell to their home markets cheaply, providing resources for capitalists to further industrialize their natuons.

    @Skip Mickmack you're ignorant and didn't even watch the video. He argues that white colonizers didn't just draw lines on maps and it was a convoluted process that took place for over 100 years. What people mean by "just drawing lines" is how Europeans specifically divided ethnic groups through the political division of a map to weaken their unity and cause infighting. That's different from just conquering another tribe. Just look up what England did to Nigeria. Don't talk like you know shit, because you don't.

    Bear in mind that in 1870 clothing people, naked Congolese or paying customers in the industrial world, was *not* the main use of cotton. From the US Civil War through the end of WWI, the main use of cotton was in gun cotton. The average artillery shell took about 17 pounds of cotton, or about the same as a paid of jeans and a cotton jacket. The industrial countries stored artillery shells by the tens of millions and fired off tens of millions more. Only the invention of artificial fixation of nitrogen by the Germans (dated as 1919 by some, with I do not know how much accuracy) ended this major use of cotton. I know of no histories typing the gun-cotton market to race relations in the US South, and I would love to hear from anyone who has reliable thoughts and information on that aspect of the topic.

    @@NathanTAK Nitrogen easily forms triple bonds which can be a pretty energetic experience. The problem is fixing that nitrogen in a way that allows the molecule to easily break and free up the nitrogen to form those triple bonds. Gun cotton was an early way to fix nitrogen but it wasn't very stable. When other methods of nitrogen fixation were developed to get an even greater explosive payload while being more stable gun cotton fell out of favor.

    I really appreciate the context here about all of the things going on in Africa at the time (the entire point of the series). When I learned about the "Scramble for Africa" in school, it was taught as though it was a gigantic race to get as big a claim as possible at the Berlin conference, and like the native African kingdoms were irrelevant.

    Most of European colonization from Rome onwards required native's permission, since most of the weight of the wars will be carried out by natives against natives...it's logical when you think about it, moving troops to the other side of the World is expensive, keeping them there is even more expensive, so it's always better to send some commanders and a bunch of units to help an ally, and then slowly take over while you increase the metropolis' influence on your previous allies. Sending a bunch of troops to take a continent over is something that only happens in videogames.

    School history lessons suck, and they're politically biased. Saw this in N Ireland (Catholic and Protestant schools teaching very different versions of their history), but this miseducation has devestating consequences. I'm actually very glad about the recent 'Woman King' film because it has brought to oublic attention how people distort history for political purposes, and I'm aure many people decided to research what really happened.

    I really appreciate your mention of Leopold framing his aims as a humanitarian mission and fundraising on those grounds. Also the idea that it's the initial claiming of vast swathes of land in Africa that initiated the race between otherwise reluctant empires. Obviously you can't go into full detail on everything but this is the most detailed overview of this topic I've ever seen on a general history channel. If there's anything I would have liked you to mention in this series it's the Kingdom of Butua/the Rozvi Empire. Kudos.

    Just because you mentioned the portuguese colonization of Guiné-Bissau at 32:42, I have to note that the Casamance region of modern Senegal was portuguese since the 17th century, when they founded Ziguinchor, biggest city and region capital. The region was ceded to France during the Berlin conference in exchange to their support for the pink map project, but the portuguese legacy is big (so I have read) and the post independence nations had a dispute over this region which also had it's separatist guerrilla. I think the dispute is settled now

    Great video. Will just say it is unfortunate that so many people (not the video maker) feel the need to justify history instead of being able to understand the events as historical fact, studying its development and reasons for development, without injecting ideological justifications which are just a reaction and reflection of those material developments. Modern ideas about history are not history. Using science not ideology is the way to uncover the truth. We can reflect and learn from it but our ideas about the past are not the past... Until they are ;)

    I was initially excited to find another history focused youtuber who takes on the often neglected African history but, upon watching two of your videos that deal with what an uncolonized Africa would look like, my excitement my excitement has died. You've used, in my view, highly untrustworthy sources and suspect theories. A majority ( but not totality ) of my problem with the sources and theories you use in your explanations lie with the fact that they were written and developed by people who were extremely biased against Africans. Better sources to look for should have been from Africanist historians post the colonial era.

    @@tobilobaokorodudu9594 Yeah, the initial comment gave me pause due to the wording. It reads as an attempt to "both sides" the scramble for Africa. Whilst the reasons were many and different, what connected them all was a disregard for the wishes of the African people. As Europe was experiencing nationalist awakenings, spurring on minor ethnicities to forge their own nations and carve their own path in the world, Africa was experiencing the opposite. This is unfortunately the risk of channels like Jabzy. When you focus on the facts, without emphasizing the moral wrongs, xenophobes (racists, in the case of this video) slip into the crowd thinking you're sympathetic. But I wouldn't want Jabzy's style to change, it's just an unfortunate thing to keep your eyes out for and recognise when someone is using dogwhistles in these comments.

    Cecil Rhodes, and others who were for colonization of Africa, were not just the odd individuals, as suggested in the video. This is proven by how hard imperialists fought to stay in Africa, and maintain their presence even now. Cecil Rhodes, 1895: „I was in the East End of London yesterday andattended a meeting of the unemployed. I listened to the wild speeches, which were just a cry for ‘bread! bread!’ and on my way home I pondered over the scene and I became more than ever convinced of the importance of imperialism…. My cherished idea is a solution for the social problem, i.e., in order to save the 40,000,000 inhabitants of the United Kingdom from a bloody civil war, we colonial statesmen must acquire new lands to settle the surplus population, to provide new markets for the goods produced in the factories and mines. The Empire, as I have always said, is a bread and butter question. If you want to avoid civil war, you must become imperialists.“

And yes, when compared to the technology and state building systems of Europe, most, if not all African tribes, scattered kingdoms, etc.. could not compare. And due to the increased industrial capacity of Western Europe in particular, it made the ability to move around far easier. Advances in medicine allowed for Europeans and Arabs to be better equipped when moving into the tropical interior, since Malaria was a particularly nasty thorn for most would be African explorers to deal with.
