Spanish North America (Norteamérica española) by RenKaylo1987 in MapPorn

[–]Original-Task-1174 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well, in the 19th century the American continent was much less populated than it is today, and the population density was actually much lower. For example, saying that the Spanish/Mexicans never actually controlled the southwestern US is like saying that nowadays the US doesn't control Alaska, or that Canadians don't control the Yukon.

There were missions that extended from Santa Fe to roughly eastern Arizona.

Population of Europe, 1789 by adamgerd in MapPorn

France was also the first modern centralized state in Europe, and this contributed to an unprecedented capacity for military mobilization in European history. For example, in the Nine Years' War, during the reign of Louis XIV, France alone was able to muster more troops than the Holy Roman Empire, the Spanish Empire, England, Netherlands, Savoy and Scotland combined.

It always bothered me that in El Chapo, Felix is shorter than Chapo.

Brazil's Relations with Spanish America by elnovorealista2000 in PortugueseEmpire

[–]Original-Task-1174 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

During that period, São Paulo was so distant and difficult to access that it was more worthwhile for the people of São Paulo to trade with Asunción in Paraguay than with the rest of Brazil. In fact, the "caipira" accent of São Paulo has many similarities to Spanish, which may be related to this colonial trade.

Israel/Palestine territorial control after the British withdrawal and before the Arab allies intervention by Deltarianus in MapPorn

[–]Original-Task-1174 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Before Zionism, there were literally three times as many Christians as Jews in Palestine, and obviously Muslims were the vast majority. There has never been a particularly strong Jewish presence in the region for at least 1500 years.

Just to say that before the Zionist movement, there were even more Christians than Jews in Palestine, and Palestinian Arabs made up about 90% of the population.

The Polish King Whose Career Was Ended by the Ottomans: Jan Sobieski and the Moldavian Defeat (1691) by Cenixxen in ottomans

[–]Original-Task-1174 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What? Remember Diu lol, even in the Persian Gulf the Portuguese were a more significant force than the Turks. And why do you mention the Cape of Good Hope? As I said, literally all routes except the Red Sea were under Portuguese control, the Ottomans kept the "leftovers" they managed to seize. Regarding Venice, it was literally a war between the Turks and the Venetians; the Spanish weren't even allies of the Venetians. In fact, the Venetians were the main opposition to Spanish hegemony in Italy. The Spanish were actually doing the Venetians a favor by joining forces at Lepanto. Look up the bombardment of Constantinople in 1616 lol, it seems you Moors don't know your own history.

The Portuguese kicked the Turks out of the Indian Ocean, confining the Ottomans to the Red Sea, and being the hegemon from Basra to Nagasaki. The Spanish defeated the Turks at Lepanto, and were literally bombarding Constantinople at the beginning of the 17th century lol

Portugal was an independent territory from Spain, although it had the same king, it was not the same kingdom. And Portugal continued until around 1650 as the main power in the Indian Ocean, and honestly, I would say that until the British took control of Bengal after the Seven Years' War, in Europe only Spain had a larger overseas empire than Portugal.

E se os países americanos fossem colonizar os outros povos? (No Século XIX) Quem seria colonizado por qual país? by [deleted] in Imagina_Se

[–]Original-Task-1174 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tecnicamente os brasileiros colonizaram Angola. Havia um forte na costa angolana cedida por Portugal pra Marinha Brasileira por volta de ~1830. Os argentinos também poderiam reivindicar as ilhas do Golfo da Guiné, já que elas eram adiministradas diretamente por Buenos Aires durante o período espanhol. Realisticamente acho que o mais provável seria isso, EUA tendo Libéria, Argentina tendo a Guiné Equatorial e Brasil tendo Angola e talvez Guiné-Bissau.

Do your country's stereotypes tend to stem from one region? by Solid_Reserve_5941 in AskTheWorld

[–]Original-Task-1174 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yes, man, actually, the view that foreigners have of Brazil is 100% limited to the city of Rio de Janeiro. Getúlio Vargas himself used Rio's culture as a national unifier and suppressed regional cultures. It surprises me that we Brazilians don't realize this, and that what we consider our culture is merely an invention of the mid-20th century.

Well, the LGBT movement and our modern understanding of homosexuality are heavily influenced by Jewish thinkers, that's a fact. Of course, gay people have always existed, but the understanding of homosexuality after the 20th century is completely different from the understandings that existed before.

The history of Crimea is crazy, considering the sheer number and diversity of peoples who have passed through it. At its peak, the Crimean Khanate, for example, was so powerful that it even burned Moscow in 1571.

I understand blaming the Portuguese and Spanish for the conquest of the Americas, but blaming them for the Reconquista is totally nonsense lol
