Colonialism: Crash Course Geography #39

The map at 2:52 kind of undermines the point seeing as most of the territory indicated to be held by the Mongolian empire did in fact not turn into Russia. It's a bit of a confusing example to me. Really really good episode apart from that.

would be interesting to see your take on the USA and Puerto Rico

10:30 "Culinary Colonization" You mean... Culinization? =)

A well-handled presentation about a dicey subject. Wouldn’t have expected otherwise :-)

This is a really nice summarization of the colonial history of Taiwan (which is (sadly) probably all that there is). As a Taiwanese people, I can see you try to not step into the current "dispute" between China and us; nevertheless, this is still a great starting point to understand why Taiwan is where it is now. Fun facts: 1. The indigenous people listed in the end credit are the current recognized 16 tribes, plus a general term "Pingpu" for those people that originally lived in the lowland regions ("pingpu" means "flat plain"), and been mostly assimilated into the Chinese immigrants. Because of this, their original culture are quite hard to recover, and only Kavalan successfully received recognition; all other listed 15 tribes lived in mountains or islands, which don't get much assimilation. 2. This one may be known by many people: Taiwanese indigenous people is said to be the origin of Austronesian people that currently lived in Pacific islands.

Omgggg yayy!! Thank you guys for always providing very informative information. So glad I subcribes you guys have really been helping me alot in other courses. Even tho I am not doing geography I am always open to learn new stuff❤

I don't understand how Thailand's "culinary colonization" is any different from other cultures projecting soft power via cuisine.

You have heavily earned my respect, especially after you highlighted how Europeans weren't the only people who colonized other peoples and had imperial ambitions on regions of the world. Which I heavily love how you highlighted other Imperial Empires that weren't European.

Thank you for the clear discours on a sensitive subject.

Very informative.

amazing video as always, thank you!!!

Solid breakdown!

You could call it culinary colonization, or you could just call it "culinization."

Thank you so much.

Great
