[thearbiter221]

remeber the maine to hell with spain

[HerrOttoKranz]

Cuba 1898, Iraq 2003. Replace Weyler with Saddam and the Maine with WMD and you got it. Funny how History repeats itself.

[thenigga847]

and the last anglo saxon fucked in spanish is the SPANISH AMERICAN WAR that takes the last possetions under spanish control(CUBA, PORTO RICO,HAWAII AND PANAMA) and this fucked 100% spain resulting in a crisis and later in the spanish civil war, i was thinking anglo saxons fucked all spain including GIBRALTAR...SPANISH PEOPLE MUST HAVE GREAT NIGHTMARES OF ANGLO SAXON TIDE AND BLADE, NOW I UNDERSTAND WHY SPANISH CONSERVATIVE DONT LIKE THE ENGLISH...AHAHHAHAHAHA...BUT ENGLISH IS BETTER THAN SPANISH

[gusanomarielito]

@thenigga847 The feud between Spain and England goes back to just before the Elizabethan ages as England was converting to protestant. Spain always failed terribly against the English/Americans in war and European influence. During Elizabeth, they sent their entire Spanish Armada to England to destroy it, and they failed miserably. The Spanish Civil War was caused by "communists" and not by English. Please educate yourself before saying things.

[xXMoratoXx]

@thenigga847 Como debimos follarnos a tu hereje madre años atrás, en la guerra de la Oreja de Yenkins X-D

-Cerdos Estadounidenses: Desagradecidos, ¿no recordáis la ayuda prestada por España en vuestra independencia?

-Piratas Ingleses: Sois tan pobres que vuestra riqueza se vasa en la explotación y en el trabajo de bucaneros. ¡Viva Blas de Lezo, por cierto!

¡Viva España, God fuck your bastard Queen and your uncle Sam! X-D

(PD: Ahora corre al traductor de Google, macho)

[thenigga847]

@xXMoratoXx Listen, win a battle and win a war is two different things...Blaz de lezo win a important battle in a not important conflict, because the british side not loose lands and colonies and Spain only tried to mantain and defend the cartagenas and south american territories and Blaz de Lezo defended... but the Spanish side loose important conflicts to Anglo Saxons and now english is the dominant language and Gibraltar are now longer yours...hahahaahahah

[sapzap96]

@thenigga847

Hawaii was never Spanish, and Panama was a Colombian territory

[thenigga847]

its time to kick some latin corrupt asses ahhaha!!! its funny because anglo saxons fuck totally the spanish douchebags in many oportunities, first with the mighy english and after with USA...first the anglo saxon victory in the great armada is the point when spanish empire decline, second british victory over the coalition of french and spanish(LATIN BASTARDS) in the napoleonic wars FUCKED TOTALLY SPANISH COLONIAL EMPIRE AND GIVES GIBRALTAR TO BRITAIN(STILL BRITISH) CONTINUE

[mlkidd9]

Thats cool that the then Spain King was 14 years old.

[crazyknight2008]

The main exploded due to an internal fire...not a mine......stupid americans.

[AgApE010]

@crazyknight2008

The irony concerning many of the jealous, anti-American bastards such as yourself is that you commit a logical fallacy by making a generalization about all Americans from one mistake (allegedly) in an American documentary.

Now sit down and shut up and think before speaking in the future.

[lastchip]

The greatest prize of war, the Victors get to interpret history. The end of this segment shows the deadly conditions in the Spanish collective towns. But, at 12:20 the Hero General of the revolution issues orders to burn all farms and kill all civilians, who work for the sugar companies. But, there is no historian in this clip, lamenting over the murdered men and women in the wake of the rebel army or the savagery of the order.

[jayrodbtown78102]

Spain Rules Anglo Haters!! suck big black Balls yal were the worst of treating slaves

[2manynegativewaves]

@2manynegativewaves Ok iam not gonna to fight with sum one of ur like's but ill say this the French made spain their bitch i know ur talking about the Napoleon wars i think if ur smart but he ruled all of western Europe at that time even all of germany , the British were scared to fight him on land if not with the help of Russian and Austrian empires. But Spain had ruled parts of France , parts of Germany, all of the low Countries most of Italy and almost all the new world at a time........

[2manynegativewaves]

@jayrodbtown78102 Hey, Im not "fighting" with anyone jayro :) Lifes too short to "fight" on line,we all have common enemies,you are not mine and I am not yours . But, if Britain was so "scared to fight on land" can you explain the penninsula campaigns and that little thing about beating napoleon at,where was that place,oh yeah WATERLOO ? ;) All I was saying is,arguing about who had a "better history" is pretty stupid especialy between the worlds 2 worst old empires?

[KGBspartan4]

Why do you think the nickname of the USA abroad is "The EMPIRE" or "The IMPERIALIST" ? its no secret the USA is an imperialist nation up until the 1940's when after WWII the soviets managed to put a pause with the cold war.

[suspicious35]

@KGBspartan4 Not abroad, just in socialist and Muslim totalities.

[TheCalamitoso]

USA AS ALWAYS COWARDS

[lechaise]

If the USA thinks it's number one, why do they not rank even in the top five for health care, education, freedom of press... just because fox news tells you you're great doesn't mean it's so. read the facts first.

[suspicious35]

@lechaise First, U.S. universities are on the whole better than their European counter parts.

Second, American healthcare isn’t bad. It’s expensive and that’s largely due to Euro style social programs. Further, British and Canadian socialist health systems simply don’t work.

Third, as of 2010 the median income in America is higher than every European state other than Luxembourg, the smallest EU member state.

[suspicious35]

@lechaise Lastly, European socialism is unsustainable. Greece is collapsing because they had large social programs and no kids to pay for it all. To varying degrees this is true of all Western and Southern European states.

[varro79]

After more than one hundred years, people in Cuba are still crying loud `Viva Cuba Libre`...

[histdorkbastilleday]

If there are any periods in history that I really enjoy studying, it would be the World Wars, Imperialism, modern British history, German history from the 19th Century to the 20th Century, and of course, early modern American history. =]

[Ci13597908]

Does anyone know the year this movie was produced? I need it for citation.

Thanks!!!

[ukusapillage]

americans after all are colonialists, making the whole world poorer

[dumuh]

@ukusapillage

The whole world already does a fine job at making itself poorer.

[ukusapillage]

what bunch crock, americans are worst then all colonial powers, they just do it in different way its called the petro dollar scheme and debt slavery with imf etc

[MrColuber]

I just heard an inaccuracy. Did he say "Civil wars crippled the Spanish Empire?" I always thought it was Napoleon's fault.

[toleiranful]

hijos de puta americanos de mierda 

[MrColuber]

@toleiranful E porque dizes isso? De que maneira os Americanos foram piores que os Espanhois ou os Ingleses ou os Alemães? De que maneira os Espanhóis eram melhores? Deixa-se de tretas.

[aguichris]

@toleiranful todos los malditos estan llenos de mierdo y son unos hijos de puta

[ginko27]

I'm am the so lucky I was born in the USA! I couldn't bear living in any 2nd rate country or one of those starving 3rd rate ones. YUCK! I'm glad I have an EMPIRE to back me and take the world's oil! Why be ashamed to live in modern ROME? We do throw our allies a bone to fight over now and then, so your welcome guys! The rest of the world is just pathetic and has little or nothing to offer we have not already taken or taking at the moment! There is NOTHING the world can do to stop us!

[RytterEspanyol]

@ginko27 and what happend to rome? it fell!

[Kalvin40]

Fuck the United States of America, repulsive land with overwhelming socio-political engineering and affirmative action, its government lies to its people making them think that they are greater than anything that ever existed and exists, when its people are nothing but simple ignorant commoners. They don't even have the best education and yet categorize the rest of the world as subordinate to the USA. I will enjoy your fall America with your stinking multiculturalism. Heil Europe!!!

[gusanomarielito]

@Kalvin40 If USA is so repulsive then why does everybody want to come live here? We don't think so, we KNOW we are greater, as a society, than any other previously known. The best education is found in American universities. We will not fall for a very long time to come and it will not be because of radical religions terrorists or by imbecile odious communists like you. God Bless America, land that I love, home of the free. Europe? Please don't make me laugh. Oh, on more thing, F U C K Y O U!

[Kalvin40]

@gusanomarielito The United States is the plate in which the leftovers of other countries fall, the worst people of other countries are the ones who go live there. I'm not a communist, better dead than red. A society that destroys the good values it used to hold, full of affirmative action, homicidal modern culture of European American Society, the best education? really who says that? US News?? have you ever seen the world from a non American perspective?

[Kalvin40]

@gusanomarielito You Americans see the world through biased lenses, you are taught only what incle Sam wants you to know, how do I know? I studies 5 years in your school and I left because I could not endure any more to see so much social contamination, it made me sick. You are a country full of ignorance, political correctness and social engineering, you call the rest of the world third world, you think you are the greatest shit ever.

[Kalvin40]

@gusanomarielito Europe holds more values and codes of honor and refinement than your trailer park " Get a Brain Morans, Go USA" Americans, you used to be a GREAT GREAT country back in the 1950s but now for me you are no more than a piece of shit except for the state of Vermon and a few others. But the great majority of your people think they know and are when they don't and are not the great shit the media tells them they are.

[Kalvin40]

@gusanomarielito If Germany, Denmark, England or Sweden were your size you would be embarrassed and would develop inferiority complexes, do you know of the great and much superior wonders and technology and societies that other countries have?? have you ever been to better places? I have, I have seen, and that;s why I come here and tell you that your country hides the better things of others nations and paints itself like the lord and master of the world to ignorant yankees like you.

[hatchbx]

@gusanomarielito He's about the furthest thing from a communist; he's a degenerate neo-Nazi

[rangergxi]

@gusanomarielito Americans are brillant with machinary, technology and economics but their sociaty is very broken.

Mostly due to your huge fundamentalist christian population that do not care for the freedoms america was built on.

[gusanomarielito]

@rangergxi It's fine for me just the way it is. I do not desire any other society anywhere else. I love America with all it's imperfections together with it's unique virtues.

[rangergxi]

@gusanomarielito I really wish more Americans would want to improve their nation even more.

[gusanomarielito]

@rangergxi Well me too my friend. The problem is that we get the best of the best and the worst of the worst; and like the say "ignorance abounds".

[lechaise]

@gusanomarielito How do you figure? Freedom of Press: 20th, Education (by maths, science and english) 10th...the only reason your universities dominate the top ten is because you're so elitist and it serves the rich and even the uk with 5 times less people have 3 universities in the top ten, so if they were of the same population they'd have 15 there and you'd be squeezed out completely. You're kidding yourself. WIth your national debt included you're not even rich, just a falling roman empire.

[gusanomarielito]

@lechaise The US domination is not going to last forever just like "nothing" lasts forever. I don't know how soon that will be; but through history the US will still be remembered millenia from now for being the best nation that ever was. Another thing, it's not just us that are going through a tough time; the rest of the world is upside down. But the US is "still" the best place to be for someone of virtue despite all the imperfections; and most people around world still want to come live here.

[tachikoma747]

@lechaise true this country is failing, but where does that place the rest of the world, specifically Western Europe? The European Union is facing a massive economic crisis and a massive cultural issue with the mass migration of Muslims. The Middle Easy will soon have to contend with a nuclear Iran, and China's economy is inexorably linked with that of the US.

[iceheart920]

@Kalvin40 Says the Nazi Mexican...

[matatan69]

@Kalvin40 ,Europe only brought misery,deceases,wars,slaughter­.suffering and slavery to all parts of the world, specially England and Spain. The United States changed all of that defeating these parasite nations and bringing a new era to the world. The united States brought justice,freedom,technology. look at your European misserable people trying to imitate America, your rappers look like refugees, your movie artist look gay-sh, We have nascar while Spain best sunday go outs is bull fighting.

[Kalvin40]

@matatan69 Trying to imitate? LOL of course there are some idiots who want to mimic and are influenced by your American stinking modern pop culture. European culture by far exceeds the commoner American modern culture. I hope you saw my main video un my channel.

[MrColuber]

@Kalvin40 You don't seem to know much about European culture, which doesn't exceed American culture, in all honesty, and is filled with God know how much trash. And what European culture are you talking about? French? Italian? Russian? Moldavian? Do people love to generalize in a stupid manner when they want to insult?

[PoetsLight]

On January 16, 1899, Sumner addressed an overflow crowd brimming with patriotic pride. With studied irony, Sumner titled his talk "The Conquest of the United States by Spain."

Sumner threw down the gauntlet:

"We have beaten Spain in a military conflict, but we are submitting to be conquered by her on the field of ideas and policies. Expansionism and imperialism are nothing but the old philosophies of national prosperity which have brought Spain to where she is now."

PROPHETIC

Is that Edward James Olmos?? I want his voice..

Me Gusta...

[mediacanarias]

Es incorrecto decir que el documental "El Mundo Sin Los Estados Unidos" sea suyo. ¿En que parte del proceso de la producción usted participó?

[gusanomarielito]

@mediacanarias Quise decir que lo subi yo. Observalo y despues mandame tus opiniones.

[tereseus]

its policies i mean are sooo evil...

[gusanomarielito]

@tereseus So that you can understand why the US is the police of the world, look at my documentary El Mundo Sin Los Estados Unidos (The World Without Us). See the whole thing. It's in English with Spanish subtitles. Get back to me when you are done with your opinions.

[tereseus]

fuck..America is sooo evil.

[leafkiller300]

@tereseus Lolz Great Britain and Japan did it. Your point is?

[98bigbutt]

I like how US Imperialism hides themselves by saying they're a Democratic state and spreading it by going to war, building corporations and establishing Military Bases around the world especially in 3rd world nations.

[gusanomarielito]

@98bigbutt So that you can understand why the US is the police of the world, look at my documentary El Mundo Sin Los Estados Unidos (The World Without Us). See the whole thing. It's in English with Spanish subtitles. Get back to me when you are done with your opinions.

[98bigbutt]

@gusanomarielito,I'll look into that thanks a lot man.

[MrColuber]

@98bigbutt What's wrong with imperialism? Imperialism is good!

[98bigbutt]

@MrColuber,So you're saying that Imperialism is good when a strong nation moves in to a weaker nation to exploit them with their natural resources.

[MrColuber]

@98bigbutt You bet!! Tell me, would such movies as Cleopatra, The Tunic, and Quo Vadis have been made without imperialism? Think of the colorful pageantry! Think of the swords and the sandals! All of these bombastic stories that could only be made thanks to imperialism.

[gusanomarielito]

@98bigbutt Imperialism brought roads, architecture, philosophy, art, science, politics, economies, societies, the alphabet and more; to all of Europe (the center of civilazation). Hence, Imperial Rome. The same can be said about today for such things as: the airplane, the telephone, the Internet, the light bulb, satellite technology. Hence, The United States "Intellectual" Imperialism. Human Resources are stronger than Natural Resources.

[98bigbutt]

@gusanomarielito,Yeah in which they had to learn from the native peoples and used it against them.

[heysexy18]

The sad part is that even though the U.S.S Maine was actually sunk by it's own poor design. The U.S would have still wanted to go to war with Spain regardless especially with the media at the time.

[heysexy18]

@heysexy18 I meant to say especially with the media forcing war down every American throats during this time period.

[HistProf9]

@heysexy18 And from what source material would that hypothesis have come? There is nothing that is certain (except, as they say, death and taxes).
