ive got to say was only Portugal the ones who actually took a huge part about slave trade because they were the pioners and also the last ones to stop the trading and abolish slavery in their colonies

yes that is just the woke mob. You left out far too much of what happened for it to be "just what happened" — when was the last time a European slave ship sailed?

You made it sound like yesterday, but times have changed

The whole stealing Africans is a lie. Africans wanted to get out of Africa and made deals with the Europeans. Africans even kept their own slaves. The word slave comes from the word Slav, coming from Slavic which is now Russia/Ukraine. The Slavs were the most enslaved.

This video makes it seem like no other countries (China, Mongolia, Turkish, the Africans) have never done the same thing. Read your history. Lots of it!

European are the lost tribe of Israel

I really can’t stand the tone of this video. The sense of moral superiority and judgement of people and cultures that lived in a time very different from our own. Why can’t we just focus on the history and not who was the victim and who was the victimizer.

AMERICAN English and British DO NOT mean the same thing, In the 1600s they were English not British settlers because the Kingdom of Britain hadn't yet been formed. STOP with the inter-changing of Engllish and British. They're NOT the same group of people. Urgh so iritating how you guys do that.

Slaves were not "stolen" from Africa, but sold to slavers by other Africans and Omani slave traders based out of Zanzibar and Tanzania. And it was Britain that stopped the slave trade and actively enforced this against other nations, whilst slavery existed before European slave trade and still exist today…

11:08 i see what you did there..

Jesus lad your map of England is way off , ya have the republicans of Ireland after 1921 there ya gobshite

"With abundance comes time"

This video was amazing. What an amazing compliment to Jared Diamond's "Guns, Germs and Steel." I appreciate your emphasis and history on the first global corporations. What an eye-opening video. Thank you!

I feel like I stumbled into a drinking parlor where everyone is slapping each other in the back and calling up for more rounds of beer. For goodness sake, whole nations were decimated. Some extinct, others lost lands and national identity and become strangers in their own lands. All because a group of people, not contented with their inheritance went and dispossessed other people of theirs in the name of resources and capitalism. We will never be able to change the past, but we as humans, all humans regardless of race and ethnicity need to chart a new course. One that will begin to right the wrongs of the past. The rich nations of Europe and North America need to lead in this new dispensation and help build a world where we can appreciate each other's human dignity and the right to this common inheritance called "Earth".

The real reason Europe stole the world: Organized Crime.

"That's not the woke mob, that's just like what happened. Sorry". Except it's not just "what happened". The oversimplification of facts coupled with and outright ignoring of the complicating historical reality is blatant in this video, although not atypical of for a clearly left leaning production. The most fundamental problem with this video, (and so many revisionisms like it) is that it portrays imperialism as a fundamentally "European" phenomenon when it wasn't, it was a global one. Beyond the obvious historical examples of the Abassyds, Mongols, Chinese, and various empires on continental India, not to mentions the Imperial powers of the pre-colonial America's, this video just outright ignores the freaking Ottoman's who were a major military and imperial power of the 17th century (i.e. the time period being discussed in the video, at least if we are including the Dutch), who at that time, had a larger empire than the Dutch, French or British. The choice to ignore the Ottoman empire is especially glaring, because you mention the dutch sailing around the horn of Africa. The reason the European's did this, instead of taking the obviously shorter route through the Mediterranean was the Ottoman navy had obtained dominance of the sea, and blocked off Europe's access to India. The truth is the major European powers were simply joining into a much larger game of Imperial ambition that been going on sense the Assyrian's started it in 21'st century BCE, after remaining relatively dormant (although certainly warring amongst each other, not to mention the crusades) sense the fall of Rome. Christianity was used as a justification for Europeans, just as Islam was for the Ottaman's or Chinese "centrality" in the world was used for the Chinese. And sure, maybe the development of the corporation helped Europeans (especially the dutch) fund their expeditions, but European's also funded conquest the old fashion way (i.e saying pretty please to the king/queen); it clearly wasn't a prerequisite. European dominance of the world between the 17th and 19 centuries can't be explained by "imperialism" and "greed", because those were, and had always been, universal.

Very well researched and presented. Well done 😎 enjoyed it

It's called survival of the fittest, imagine it was the Chinese or the Mongols or the Africans or the Aztecs or the Maoris I'm sure things would have turned out better yeah right, if you think I'm going to feel guilty because the British came out on top of that shit fight that was civilization you are surely mistaken.

The Iberians started it
The Dutch improved it
The British and French just copied it

The Dutch: ''Who cares about Jesus, we just want profit."

That's so very Dutch. 🤣🤣

Atlantic slave trade then, factory farming now.

The dutch company even raided Portuguese brazilian colonies, during the Iberian Union time. They stayed on the shores of Brazil for nearly 30years, until Portuguese and locals were able to defeat them.

Jhonny I and a lot of ppl here are craving a video about Palestine and Isreal youve been the voice of truth for years in a well presented and detailed videos , pls do it 💯🥁

I forgot to say that when the english arrived to the east coast of usa the spanish had already explored the 70% of the usa the south ; the centre and west and taken possesion of large áreas of this country that belonged yo the viceroyalty of nueva España the english "never explore almost amithing" in the usa in fact the máximum that the g.britain had the 30% of its territory becoming independent from g.britain

Dutch might harvest all natural resources but they forget they were sinking

Johnny blaming capitalism without using the word "capitalism".

they (ads) made the video possible? but you made the video

I have to say that video made a lot of sense when you put it into the proper context of history’s events peoples and of course money and power

Nice content bro 🔥

IQ + imagination.

Why do you a act like killing people and taking their land is something that isn't ubiquitous throughout all of history by all peoples who could do it? It makes your video unwatchable.

Enter Cecil Rhodes

And now that same world will take over the EU

Wow Johnny, I applaud your covering of topics in a very engaging way with amazing storytelling and historical facts combined (of course not every historical event was told and it's just not possible to tell everything in one video without making it a high school class). I was waiting for a video or series on this part of the history from you. Thanks. Btw I can see how it got many Europeans (not all but imperialists) offended in comments which I expected as they were taught a different (let's say white-washed) version of history in their textbooks.

Your North Korea Episode made me Sub to your channel

Guns, Germs, and Steel baby

Dont need life insurance if I'm gonna die alone lmao
