What if the Muslims Kept Spain?

Wanted to remake this for a long time. The Reconquista fundamentally shifted the world, and I wanted to explore in detail a full alternate world where it never happens. Apologies on taking so long, this script took a while. I also have a second channel now. I talk about pointless stuff, like Battle LA, if you remember that. If you just like hearing me talk about stuff then check it out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHkednE7TPk&t=300s

The British: *land in America* The natives: "Salam, habibi" The British: "wtf"

This feels a lot like trying to predict the entire course of the rest of a Crusader Kings game after playing for 50 years, heh heh

This scenario has been recreated in 2022 in the form of Morocco beating Spain and Portugal in the World Cup

I spent several months living in Granada. It's a truly amazing city with rich history and beautiful architecture, yet somehow most people have never even heard of it. It's a must for Spain IMO.

So the thing about Asturias is "go around the mountains" wasn't a thing. The reason Asturias survived is cause there were no roads into it, and there were no roads because it was such a hard to get to back water that even the romans couldn't be bothered to build them. Though in hindsight it was the correct move, were you in the sultan's court and were urging him to cross over, you would have been dismissed from the court for incompetence, and expedition like that would have easily gone badly, and if it did that would have caused the entire kingdom to fall apart.

Oh goodness, this would definitely make a different America.

"Hey Cody, what if Moors held Spain?" "French Dialects" "Wow, what else?" "The Dutch are deleted" "What about things in Al Andalus, could they get to the new world?" "There can be only one Caliphate... Also yes but I'll discuss that later." "Yes!"

Damn, when you really think about it, this really is one of the most consequential PODs in history, as Cody mentions. So much of the modern world in this timeline would be unrecognizable without the Catholic Iberian monarchies, the protestant reformation, and the European colonization of the Americas. Mind-blowing.

This would be a tragedy for Spanish Inquisition memes.

3:13 Hey! I'm on TV!

I think it's awesome you remade this. I hope your other videos get the same treatment. Not saying they are terrible or anything, but there is nothing wrong for with going over something when you're skills improve

18:56 Sailors: Ocean: You’re going to Brazil

“This all just seems like an elaborate way to make sure the Dutch don’t exist.” Lmao

Cody: "In this alternate timeline, even without the Portuguese, somebody eventually would find the America's, but that is for another time." Me: "Sequel?" Cody: "And yes this is a two part-er." STOP READING MY MIND CODY.

I'm hyped for part two! Bgreat video!

Literally I was just looking for a video like this a week ago, I was researching about Reconquista, so good you just uploaded one! Thanks!

England when they win against France but become french in the process: I’ve won but at what cost

Brave to assume Henry VIII wouldn’t just have a different wife he’d want to divorce

Very excited for part 2 :)
