I really liked that the unknown territories were in black, it gives a better context.
-
Fun fact. The city of New Amstetdam was defended by a big wall. But the British attacked from the sea. When they conquered the city and renamed it to New York, they also tore down the wall and reused the stones by building a street. That street got the name "Wall Street".
-
Imagine travelling an unknown sea for countless days, only having heard stories and myths to then stumble upon land. What an amazing and also scary feeling that would of been
-
Great summary! Precision : European fishermen (Basques, Bretons, Normans, etc.) visited the Saint-Lawrence River through the 16th century, even before Jacques Cartier's claim for New France in 1534 ; this is one century before what is shown in this video. Also, important settlements in the New France area are omitted : Montréal (Ville-Marie, 1642), Détroit (1701), La Nouvelle-Orléans (1718), whereas a lot of settlements are shown in the 13 colonies.

I just cannot fathom docking on a place like Florida without any prior knowledge of the land. That had to be such a unique human experience that may never be replicated. Like imagine living in 1500 Spain and seeing all of the trees and crocodiles and shit. That’s just so insane to me
-
Imagine living in a time where there were unknown lands on earth. Would've been epic
-
Spain's hegemony over the Pacific Ocean was so great that it was called the Spanish Lake.
-
What a brilliant video! Suddenly it's all clear as day. Great job. Thank you so much.
-
This shit goes so hard. I’d like to think I would’ve actually enjoyed history and geography if it were formatted like this when I was in school
-
Portugal financed an expedition in the Amazon River in 1563 that finished in Quito, in the 1800s a new expetion was done using the diaries information, and they were able to reach Quito again.
-
You have designed this very beautifully and exceptionally. 👌
-
This is one of the best animations I've ever seen keep up the good work:) !
-
Spain reached Alaska in 1791, at that moment Spain ruled the whole Pacific coast of America, from cape of Horn in south Chile to Alaska cities like Valdez or Cordova
-
The original voice over has quite a bit of character. Iconic, even. This version is good and pro style, but more generic.
-
Very concise! And the maps really help one visualize it.
-
Really nice grafic ! I appreciate how you uncover new territory
-
Spain really took a gamble with that meridian treaty when you think about it , they didnt knew how the continent shape was yet they decided the divide , they really could have ended up having the short stick
-
I love the use of the black, unexplored areas of the map, kinda like it's in strategy games with the fog of War! It's interesting that the fog of war like its known in games is actually a real military theory (Clausewitz, 19th century), yet so many people connect it with games (which got the idea of it from the military theory as well).

You know a channel is good when this guy voices it.
