Imagine being at sea for 70 days praying you will hit land.

Great work except... Columbus indeed figured it out. On his third voyage, he discovered the mouth of the Orinoco River. This river system is the world's third largest by volume, far exceeding anything in Europe. This much fresh water could ONLY be coming from a continent. No mere island could produce it.

It love how the unknown parts of the world were blacked out at the beginning, illustrating how people of that time knew so little about the world around them. Great job!

Iberia didn't simply look for another way to india for nothing. They did it because the Ottoman Empire banned them from the spice trade. They were cut off from the Silk Road they used for centuries.

The Queen of Castilia (Spain), Isabel la Catolica, declared the new lands and their populations inhabitants of the kingdom. You couldn't take them like slaves. It is writte in her testament for example. Carlos I, other king from Spain write a lot of laws in favor of the new people.

Native people: exist Europeans: "I'm gonna pretend i didn't see that"

This almost feels like a game of Civilization V with the fog of war, really well made video!

Spain: I found new land! Portugal: it's free real estate France: it's free real estate Britain: it's free real estate Netherlands: it's free real estate Russia: I'll conquer my way there

Lands were conquered, not stolen. You can only steal objects, land is not an object.

Awesome video. I love your decision to hide the "unknown" world, letting the viewer discover each new piece together with the European explorers/conquerors.
