@@riverlady982 I agree..

It already is.

It definitely is, or more accurately, was. What it's known for now isn't exactly pretty, and they're still trying to figure out how to culturally recover from their dictatorship. Why it's taking so long I can't really talk about without being accused of making ethnic jokes. Then again, it took them like 400 years to figure out that they were literally being erased, so... In all seriousness though? From the time they decided to stick up for themselves and up until their Armada got yeeted they were absolutely not to be screwed with in any capacity, lest you decided to play games with a major power known for having copious amounts of funding. They had a few hundred years of kicking ass, and it pretty much seems to be over. Maybe in the big picture they'll rise again but it won't be by the time any of our grandchildren are signing up for retirement programs.

Some beautiful Jews and Moors architectures still standing, they've done well to bury their bloodlust antisemitism during the time of Isabella and Ferdinand Inquisition, with one of the head Inquisitor being Cardinal Mendoza.

*Conquistadors have entered the chat

Nobody will ever forget the Spanish Inquisition.

I agree - this is a time period that is almost always overlooked

I agree with every word

Yes! & the British history is so OVERRATED!!!

Yeah what about their being unnecessarily harsh towards native Americans!?

@@moonlover2022 Spain treated its subject's in Mexico like its subject's in Cádiz. Something unheard off in any other empire. (For example Britain did not treat equaly its people in Manchester to its people in Egypt)

Her emphasis of giving her own female children an excellent education also became a trend - it showed in the strength of her daughter Katherine of Aragon in the English court, it paved the way for Maria of Austria and Catherine d’ Medici

Well Mary I was Queen Isabella's granddaughter. Mary learned from her formidable Mom Katherine of Aragon who learned from her Mom, Queen Isabella.

Queen Isabel was also the inspiration for the chess piece "Queen". Originally it was a "Vicar" and it can only move one square a time.

Thank you so much Andrea

I’m sorry to say it but there is no interest in our educational systems for the teaching of real historical facts.

Really happy that you liked my video! Can't believe you watched this in one sitting. Isabella was definitely a force to be reckoned with. She was a leader in a category of her own. She united Castile and Aragon, Completed the Reconquista, and set Columbus on his way. Few leaders in history have done so much that each accomplishment can have its own book - She reminds me of the Solvay Conference of 1927 - in that one picture your have 19 Nobel laureates - Plank, Bohr, Einstein, etc - but only one in that picture won the Nobel Prize twice - in fact the only human in history to win the Nobel Prize twice (truly a category of their own) - Madam Curie - another total bad ass.

There was a very good television series "Isabel" produced in Spain several years ago that covers the history of her life fairly well and is very entertaining to watch.

@@Thermopylae2007 is it in only in Spanish ? Think I’ve seen this one

She is legendary and many movies and series have been done about her. I think probably the USA is the only one that has not heard from her in the west.

You’re right the siege of Constantinople in 1453 really came down to the wire

@@hocinelahlah5379he allowed two days of pillage wym ? He only stop it the day after

I mean europeans did help byzantines in several cases and in all those cases, byzantines were cunning and made it so obvious they were using the european crusaders for their own ends, never grateful. So why would they do it again? Byzantine strategy has long been playing enemies and allies againts each other only to betray them all and get everything. They also used turkic pechenegs againts turkic oghuz(ancestors of ottomans) for decades starting in around 1050. Pechenegs later realized it and betrayed them in a critical moment in a battle joining forces with oghuz tribes and this mid battle changing of sides was a big factor for other turks to flood asia minor and settle

They would have lost it eventually as there was much more consistency in Turkish determination to take it than in European determination to keep it.

Probably no one expected a newly settled clan to devastate the eastern roman empire so quickly. I mean empire vs tribe and they lost it. You wouldnt think goliath needed help from his teammates until he was on the ground dying with a slingshot to the head.

It is a shame that every time they play music, for a concert in Spain they play flamenco. I can understand that it is what is best known, but the "Folk-traditional" music that is most in contact with the period recounted is the one that It remains in the northern half of Spain and has nothing to do with flamenco and everything to do with folk music from the rest of the European Atlantic Arc. Of course, forget the Sephardic musical legacy

MUHAMMAD (PBUH) IN BUDDHIST SCRIPTURES by Dr. Zakir Naik 1. Buddha prophesised the advent of a Maitreya: A) Almost all Buddhist books contain this prophecy. It is in Chakkavatti Sinhnad Suttanta D. III, 76: "There will arise in the world a Buddha named Maitreya (the benevolent one) a holy one, a supreme one, an enlightened one, endowed with wisdom in conduct, auspicious, knowing the universe: "What he has realized by his own supernatural knowledge he will publish to this universe. He will preach his religion, glorious in its origin, glorious at its climax, glorious at the goal, in the spirit and the letter. He will proclaim a religious life, wholly perfect and thoroughly pure; even as I now preach my religion and a like life do proclaim. He will keep up the society of monks numbering many thousands, even as now I keep up a society of monks numbering many hundreds". B) According to Sacred Books of the East volume 35 pg. 225: "It is said that I am not an only Buddha upon whom the leadership and order is dependent. After me another Buddha maitreya of such and such virtues will come. I am now the leader of hundreds, he will be the leader of thousands." C) According to the Gospel of Buddha by Carus pg. 217 and 218 (From Ceylon sources): "Ananda said to the Blessed One, "Who shall teach us when thou art gone?" And the Blessed one replied, 'I am not the first Buddha who came upon the earth nor shall I be the last. In due time another Buddha will arise in the world, a holy one, a supremely enlightened one, endowed with wisdom in conduct, auspicious, knowing the universe, an incomparable leader of men, a master of angels and mortals. He will reveal to you the same eternal truths, which I have taught you. He will preach his religion, glorious in its origin, glorious at the climax and glorious at the goal. He will proclaim a religious life, wholly perfect and pure such as I now proclaim. His disciples will number many thousands while mine number many hundreds.' Ananda said, 'How shall we know him?' The Blessed one replied, 'He will be known as Maitreya'." (i) The Sanskrit word "Maitreya" or its equivalent in Pali "Metteyya" means loving, compassionate, merciful and benevolent. It also means kindness and friendliness, sympathy, etc. One Arabic word which is equivalent to all these words is "Rahmat". In Surah Al-Anbiya: "We sent thee not, but as a mercy for all creatures." [Al-Qur'an 21:107] Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was called the merciful, which is "Maitri". (ii) The words Mercy and Merciful are mentioned in the Holy Qur'ân no less than 409 times. (iii) Every chapter of the Glorious Qur'ân, except Chapter 9, i.e. Surah Taubah begins with the beautiful formula, 'Bismillah Hir-Rahman Nir-Rahim', which means 'In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful'. (iv) The Word Muhammad is also spelt as 'Mahamet' or 'Mahomet' and in various other ways in different languages. The word 'Maho' or 'Maha' in Pali and Sanskrit mean Great and Illustrious and 'Metta' means mercy. Therefore 'Mahomet' means 'Great Mercy'. 2. Buddha's doctrine was Esoteric and Exoteric: According to Sacred Books of the East, volume 11, pg. 36 Maha-Parinibbana Sutta chapter 2 verse 32: "I have preached the truth without making any distinction between exoteric and esoteric doctrine, for in respect of truths, Ananda, the Tathagata has no such thing as the closed fist of a teacher, who keeps something back". Muhammad (pbuh) on the commandment of Almighty God delivered the message and doctrine without making any distinction between esoteric and exoteric. The Qur'ân was recited in public in the days of the Prophet and is being done so till date. The Prophet had strictly forbidden the Muslims from hiding the doctrine 3. Devoted Servitors of the Buddhas: According to Sacred Books of the East volume 11 pg. 97 Maha-Parinibbana Sutta Chapter 5 verse 36: "Then the Blessed one addressed the brethren, and said, "Whosoever, brethren have been Arahat-Buddhas through the long ages of the past, they were servitors just as devoted to those Blessed ones as Ananda has been to me. And whosoever brethren shall be the Arahat-Buddhas of the future, there shall be servitors as devoted to those Blessed ones as Ananda has been to me"." The Servitor of Buddha was Ananda. Muhammad (pbuh) also had a servitor by the name Anas (r.a.) who was the son of Malik. Anas (r.a...) was presented to the Prophet by his parents. Anas (r.a...) relates: "My mother said to him, 'Oh Messenger of God, here is your little servant'." Further Anas relates, "I served him from the time I was 8 years old and the Prophet called me his son and his little beloved". Anas (r.a...) stayed by the Prophet in peace and in war, in safety as well as in danger till the end of his life. i) Anas (r.a.), even though he was only 11 years old stayed beside the Prophet during the battle of Uhud where the Prophet's life was in great danger. ii) Even during the battle of Hunain when the Prophet was surrounded by the enemies who were archers, Anas (r.a...) who was only 16 years old stood by the Prophet. Anas (R) can surely be compared with Ananda who stood by Gautam Buddha when the mad elephant approached him. 4. Six Criteria for Identifying Buddha: According to the Gospel of Buddha by Carus pg. 214: "The Blessed one said, "There are two occasions on which a Tathagata's appearance becomes clear and exceedingly bright. In the night Ananda, in which a Tathagata attains to the supreme and perfect insight, and in the night in which he passes finally away in that ultra passing which leaves nothing whatever of his earthly existence to remain.' " According to Gautam Buddha, following are the six criteria for identifying a Buddha. i) A Buddha attains supreme and perfect insight at night-time. ii) On the occasion of his complete enlightenment he looks exceedingly bright iii) A Buddha dies a natural death. iv) He dies at night-time. v) He looks exceedingly bright before his death. vi) After his death a Buddha ceases to exist on earth. i) Muhammad (pbuh) attained supreme insight and Prophethood at night-time. According to Surah Dukhan: "By the books that makes thing clear ? We sent it down during a blessed night." [Al-Qur'ân 44:2-3] According to Surah Al-Qadar: "We have indeed revealed this (message) in the night of power." [Al-Qur'ân 97:1] ii) Muhammad (pbuh) instantly felt his understanding illumined with celestial light. iii) Muhammad (pbuh) died a natural death. iv) According to Ayesha (r.a.), Muhammad (pbuh) expired at night-time. When he was dying there was no oil in the lamp and his wife Ayesha (r.a.) had to borrow oil for the lamp. v) According to Anas (r.a.), Muhammad (pbuh) looked exceedingly bright in the night of his death. vi) After the burial of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) he was never seen again in his bodily form on this earth. 5. Buddhas are only Preachers: According to Dhammapada, Sacred Books of East volume 10 pg., 67: "The Jathagatas (Buddhas) are only Preachers." The Qur'ân says in Surah Ghashiya: "Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs." [Al-Qur'ân 88:21-22] 6. Identification of Maitreya by Buddha: According to Dhammapada, Mattaya Sutta, 151: "The promised one will be: i) Compassionate for the whole creation ii) A messenger of peace, a peace-maker iii) The most successful in the world. The Maitreya as a Preacher of morals will be: i) Truthful ii) Self-respecting iii) Gentle and noble iv) Not proud v) As a king to creatures vi) An example to others in deeds and in words".
