[ever1217]

why white people call themselves americans ? to be pure american you have to be brown thas it

[harry911tk]

@ever1217 If they The label of "American" is about nationality not ethnicity

[nautilusswimmingless]

Correction to some comments. There were no horses in the Americas. Horses were brought to the Americas from Europe. This made the conquest even easier.

[arnaldodacomando]

@nautilusswimmingless correction there where horses in the Americas they all died off.

[mexicaglo]

MEXICA is pronounced Meh-she-ka. Not like if you were sayin mexico.

[HistoryLover1550]

Love this show! Thanks for uploading this.

[ScopedOUT2]

The entire "Engineering an Empire" series would be so much more interesting if the host just did it while wearing his Robocop suit.

[franksters08]

Im so great full for coming from a rich culture with a lot of history

[jamrock1ful]

WOW!!

[whitesox889]

If the native americans had horses and oxen, the world would be so different today. They would have been so much more advanced that the europeans would have never defeated them.

[jayers2]

@whitesox889 Not necessarily. Smallpox would have still helped decimate large numbers of the native population even if they were more advanced.

[Salien1999]

@whitesox889 Plus, they had no metal, and no armor. The Europeans would just kill the horses then kill the person that was on the horse.

[vietorkorean]

@whitesox889

wrong, they would've still lost. Keep in mind that Europeans brought with them a lot of diseases that the Natives have no immunity too. This killed off almost 90% of their population, it took several generations for them to developed immunity to European diseases. Without diseases on their side the Europeans would've never won even with their horses and guns. Read "Guns, Germs & Steel", u will understand.

[weth1524]

how the fuck did they do this??

[redhawkdown2]

i think what more ironic is that the Europeans' dirtiness turns out to be one of their most potent weapon. Their arrival in America also cause an outbreak of plague that destroy the Aztec's population.

[habsabard]

@redhawkdown2 well, that was the smallpox, which was because the aztecs had never been exposed to it. it happened all over the Americas, from the aboriginals of Canada to the Incas of Peru

[MEXICANJOKER45]

this is ironic

the europeans called us dirty

[HoundofOdin]

I know dude. In Europe, the Vikings were considered clean because they washed their hair once a week. The Aztec bathing twice daily was probably one reason they didn't have many diseases.

[patfealy]

The Aztecs washed twice a day because they developed psychosis from all those sacrifice. The cried out like Lady Mac Beth as they ashed their hands, "Out spots out"

[tdubblz]

yes they did it to all of us. and they have the nerve to get mad at all the mexicans in america who occupy and live on the land that the euros and white settlers stole and conned out of their ancestors long ago.

[vietorkorean]

@tdubblz

Amen brother! i'm not even brown, but i'm all for the reconquest of the US by Mexicans, one state at a time! FUCK THE GRINGOS!

[PakistaniisPower]

@MEXICANJOKER45 They are just jealous of the fact it was the natives who were the 1st powerful ppl.

[gato123452]

@MEXICANJOKER45 your not Aztec. your a mixed so don't call your self Aztec cause your not. your a mixed of Spanish and other Nationality.

[gato123452]

@MEXICANJOKER45 and your probably stupid, probably you think that the Spanish never conquered the Aztec Civilization.

[hoottasshell]
