The Spanish Empire, Silver, & Runaway Inflation: Crash Course World History #25
Economy | Information | History | Online | Facts | World | Global | Money
In which John Green explores how Spain went from being a middling European power to one of the most powerful empires on Earth, thanks to their plunder of the New World in the 16th and 17th centuries. Learn how Spain managed to destroy the two biggest pre-Columbian civilizations, mine a mountain made of silver, mishandle their economy, and lose it all by the mid-1700s. Come along for the roller coaster ride with Charles I (he was also Charles V), Philip II, Atahualpa, Moctezuma, Hernán Cortés, and Francisco Pizarro as Spain rises and falls, and takes two empires and China down with them.

Not sure how true this is, but my Irish grandmother once referred to her father (my great grandperson) as "black Irish".
Not because he was of African decent, but because he had dark hair, lacking the fair hair and skin of most Irish.
The legend being that he (and I guess me too) descended from Spanish sailors of the armada who crashed off the shores of Ireland.
Any thoughts? -
It's funny how many large navies of large empires were destroyed by storms en route to some great expected conquest.
And you can't say the Mongols are the exception here either. -
