Why Monarchies disappeared II: Asia, Africa and Oceania

Asia and Africa were historically ruled by different dynasties, but by now most of them have lost their power. This video answers the question why did the political structure change and why some of the monarchs have kept their position.

    Here in Indonesia there is still a monarchy that holds power. Whereas other other provinces are headed by a governor, the Sultanate of Jogjakarta is it's own province and the Sultan carries out the functions of a governor. There's a story I've heard, that the authoritarian president Soeharto once requested to be buried in the Royal Cemetery in Jogjakarta when he dies. The Sultan refused, reminding Soeharto, even though he is the all powerful President of the Republic of Indonesia, he is no more than a peasant

    1:58 Nepal wasn't left alone by the British because of its remoteness. only the mountain region was/is hard to access - the kingdom was ruled from the hills and the plains. Nepal (the Gorkha empire at that time) was rapidly expanding and came into conflict with the British when the Brits refused to let the region north of the river Ganges come under the domain of the Gorkhalis. War ensued (Anglo-Nepalese war 1814 to 16) but wasn't conclusive in itself but the king of Nepal was forced to sign a treaty in which we lost 1/3 of our territory to the British, which included regions like Darjeeling, Sikkim, Dehradun etc (which were never returned to us even after the Brits left despite having good diplomatic relations, and is under Indian control today). the treaty also allowed the British voluntary enlistment of Nepalese men into their army since they were impressed by the fighting prowess of the Gorkhalis. the gorkha regiment still stands today in both the UK and the Indian army.

    What we tried to say was, that although Mongolia did indeed gain independence form China after the revolution of 1911, the Communist intervention of 1921 was the cause that prevented its reintegration into the Republic of China, unlike other regions of the former Qing Empire. In the years prior to the Communist intervention the Chinese were in the process of reintegrating Mongolia and had deployed troops to the country.

    Malaysian here. We used to have a lot of cooperation. Back then our demand for independence was simply ignored. Our late leaders reckon their demands would have more impact if they actually went to London. No money though. This was long ago when travel isnt cheap. So they asked for donations and the people pooled money. They got to London, and was finally listened to. To be strong we need to be big, but the kings still exist and has their own states under them. So we share. Every few years, the king from another state gets their turn to become the Agong (Emperor). Theres like a queue. And then another story of accountable leaders. After independence lots land are still owned by companies, more specifically British companies. So werent really independent. In 1981 that was corrected. We pooled resources again to buy just enough stocks in one quick move. This was 1980s. Possible to do one swoop so reaction can be avoided and the prices dont go up. Goal was to buy enough to have 51% in Guthrie Ltd. Deal done in a couple of hours. Overnight, Malaysia owns the majority of the shares in the company and now owns the land in its own country. That was a long time ago. The politicians we have today, I wont entrust with a single cent. And our 1 cent is like a third of the US cent

If you want to do business, work with an NGO, build any kind of building or settle and live in, say, rural Malawi, you will need the blessing of the local chief, as well as papers from the government.

    + Hugh There is also the fact that the entente would not allow the newly formed nations to form monarchies after WW1, forcing them to become republics. During the course of the long 19th centuries as European nations gained independence, chiefly in the Balkans but also elsewhere, it was very common for these countries to invite foreign monarchs to become kings, bringing prestige and international connections to their new countries. After gaining independence in 1917, the rulers of Finland wanted to invite a German prince to become their king, but Britain and France did not allow it.

    I think you missed an important facet of European colonialism, especially the French and British. When they 'colonized' a region, they would never ally themselves with the most powerful local faction, but instead choose one that was weaker. This weaker group could never keep power by themselves, so.... they'd need to keep the Brits and the French. This still has repercussions long afterwards: The Rwandan genocide being notable.

    The video omits an essencial instituition to understand the Oriental, south asia, near east and the polinesian monarchies: the paramountship or overlordship. The Emperor of China was the paramount monarch of all Far East Asia, except Japan. The Confusian Budist Monarchies of Indo China, Incluing Burma, Sian, Tonking & Annan, Lais and Cambodja were tributary states of The Emperor of China, as well the Living Buddha States of Tibet and Mongolia, so was Korea. Technically all States of the World were tributary to China in the vision of the Chinese of course. In Indian Subcontinent the Paramountship was of the Moghul Emperor, a hibrid institutional paramountcy because the Great Moghul was the conqueror that came from Mongolia of the Great Khan ascendency but was islanmised in Persia and stabilished The Mogul Empire in north India amd soread the Islam to the Insulindia and Malayisia, as its overlordship on the islamic lords of that regions, except the Nizan of Hyderabad wich oficially was vassal of the Sultan of Turkey,who was Caliph all Islan to the sunni. The Parsmountship of Turkey was impose by the over the Qediva of the Egipt, that was technically a viceroi, as well the Emir of Argel, Tripolitania and Cirenaica or Lybia, and all Emirs of the Levant, Mesopotamia, Arabia and South Arabia, as well the Gulf States & South East Arabia, the Sheriffs of Mecca and Medina as well Lebanon and Palestine were under protection of the Sultan, who imposed vassal states in christian countries of the Balcanic Peninsula. The Islamic Persia Overlordship was on the shiia islamic lordships and khanates to the Caucasus till Afeganistan and the Indus Valley, under the Ismaeli Shia of the today's Pakistan, and over the Moghul Empire, of couse do not accepted by this. The Paramountship in Indian Subcontinent was taken by the british crown, as India becameThe British Empire of India, an idea who was imposed ovee all Hindi Buddist Princely States and the Himalian Kingdons of Nepal, Nuthan and Sikkin, The instituition of the british protection and client states extent to the Persian Gulf to begin a conquest of the Caliph vassals in the 19th century, but it was the essence of the british paramountcy in India, and reproduced in the British Oceania and Australasia, with protection and paramountsip over the chieftanship and kings, and by the Dutch iivee Indonesia's little sultanates, as the British has done in Malayisia and North Borneo. The same modus operanti were used by the Spanish over the chiefs of the Philipines and Spanish New Guenea, after sold to the German, but Spanish experience came from the Conquista of the Asthec and Incaican Empires in America. In Subsaarian Africa, the model came from the Otoman Supremacy in the east and the stabilishment of european protectorates of the tribes and tribal kingdoms since the 17th century. The idea of the Paramountship explains the eastern monarchies, its evolution and destruction.

    Great video, though I have to say the section on India is somewhat inaccurate. By independence about 60% of the land area and the vast majority of the population was directly administered by the British Raj. With the bulk of India already being inherited by the civilian government, there was really no way for the Princes to seize power even if they could all come to an agreement, and there was nothing really forcing the Federal Government to have to integrate their Monarchies and Powers into the new government. The Princely States and India were effectively separate entities right after independence, but due to the efforts of Sadar Patel and V.P. Menon, most of the rulers were convinced to peacefully fully integrate into India in exchange for some concessions, and only Sikkim was able to stay largely independent. At first most rulers did retain a sort of monarchical governor status of India, similar how it was detailed in the video, but only after a few years this system was abolished as the Indian states were reorganized, completely ending rule by the Princes. Additionally, 1971 all other special privileges such as their pensions were also abolished. Today the royal families do technically retain their titles as long as it does not grant them any special powers or privileges, and most do remain pretty wealthy and have a good deal of community prestige due to their history. However, at least officially and often politically they are no more powerful than a regular citizen, and thus the Monarchies aren't "really there" in any legal capacity anymore. There is an exception to this, those being the 5 Dangs. Due to some legal complications with the British the Indian Government continues to recognize their right to rule over some land, and even continues to give them their pensions. However, they effectively rule a few tiny villages each in a remote part of Gujarat, and thus are pretty irrelevant in Federal Politics, and even in Gujarati politics outside of their small district. I hope I didn't sound too critical, as this was a really good video, but the section on India I feel left out a lot of key info.

    Wound't say they are a Constitutional monarchy, as the Monarchy appoints the Prime ministers which can be anyone that is a Protestant and can call as many elections for Parliament as they desire at any time. officially after the The Glorious Revolution the UK became a Absolute Monarchy as the Hanoverian Government had garrison the UK with German Troops from the German confederation loyal only to them Also what Powers the Royal Family has and the PM and parliament is very unclear after 1913., especially since the Royals have they own military forces and deep ties to the Royal military.
