    Imagine how giant new Spain would have been if it had been one country

    Fun Fact: New York City was founded when Dutch Brazilians fled Mauritsstad (now Recife) to New Amsterdam, after the Portuguese detalhe the territory in 1654
  • The world is for everyone. Also portugal and spain: I’ll take the west while you take the east Portugal & Spain: now we’re talking.
  • @DoofyAntiRp
    Spain and Portugal are the most important countries in the creation of the history of the Americas
  • @luisangel444
    there is a mistake in the first scene, 1492, the first spanish colony wasnt in modern cuba, it was santo domingo
  • There are several errors in the Plata Region: Buenos Aires was first founded in 1536 and abandoned in 1541. It was founded again only in 1580 and for the next two centuries it only controlled the lands inmediately adjacent to the coast. Asuncion should show up a lot earlier than it does: It was founded in 1537 and never abandoned. The map incorrectly shows colonization spreading from Buenos Aires north to Asuncion in the late XVI, early XVII century. Also, the "indian border" to the south as shown in the video looks a lot like the one achieved only after the early XIX century campaigns, definitely not accurate for XVI-XVIII century borders
  • Uhh, the map should have started with more territories than Spain. The Inca and Aztec empires at least should have been represented.
  • Video: History of the Americas starts after colonization Inca, Aztec, Toltec, Teotihuacan, Wari,Tiwanaku, Missisipian and Maya Civilizations: Are we a joke to you?

  • @13tuyuti
    Asuncion was founded as a spanish colony in 1537 but you show it as part of Spain since around 1780.

    The REAL proof that say brazilians speak PORTUGUESE
  • @MiguelAlanCS
    ERROR: Tras la guerra del Pacífico (Perú y Bolivia vs. Chile) Tacna pasó a manos chilenas. No se reincorporó al Perú hasta 1929....
  • I learned from this video! I had to look up the Welser family, and it was a very interesting read. Thank you very much!
