Video spoilers history, starting with the blitzkrieg on Poland

Tianmu continued to tell the story.

[In the 18th century, Liverpool's slave ships transported a total of about 150 million African slaves.]

[This port city, jokingly called a fishing village, rose to become the treasury of the British Empire. ]

[The triangular trade brought huge wealth to Britain and promoted the development of a series of related industries in Britain.]

【It has greatly changed the national landscape of the United Kingdom. 】

[In the 18th century, Liverpool handled 40% of the slave trade in Europe, and its tax contribution accounted for one-third of the British treasury.]

[Many of Bristol's mansions and town halls were built with funds from slave traders.]

【Manchester's cotton mills relied on cotton imported from America.】

[Birmingham arms dealer makes a fortune selling guns to Africa.]

[As Marx said: "Without slavery, there would be no cotton; without cotton, there would be no modern industry."]

[Lloyd’s Insurance Company provided insurance services for slave ships, and the predecessor of Barclays Bank specialized in plantation loans.]

[The financial system is based on this.]

[However, the triangular trade brought heavy disasters to Africa:]

[About 1200 million black people were trafficked. If the number of deaths during capture and transportation is included, Africa has lost nearly 1 million people.]

[In the Congo River Basin, Gold Coast and other places, many once prosperous kingdoms have become ruins. ]

[Tribal chiefs killed each other in exchange for weapons, and traditional handicrafts gradually died out due to the impact of cheap European goods.]

【Africa has been trapped in centuries of turmoil and poverty.】

[In America, the plantation economy experienced abnormal prosperity due to the slave trade:]

[Barbados in the Caribbean has become the brightest jewel in the British crown because of its sugarcane industry. ]

[50% of the North American colonies' exports depended on tobacco and cotton grown by slaves.]

[It can be said that the entire prosperity of the United Kingdom is built on external plunder and human trafficking. ]

【However, slave owners used the theory of the inferiority of black people to justify their atrocities. 】

[The code legalizes punishments such as flogging, branding, and amputation.]

[Scenes of mothers being separated from their babies are common.]

[This large-scale slave trade continued until the early 19th century.]

【More and more people are beginning to realize the evil nature of triangular trade. 】

【Under the influence of the Enlightenment, humanitarian thought emerged. 】

[Some conscientious British people stood up and called for the abolition of the slave trade.]

【Some members of parliament exposed the tragic conditions on slave ships.】

【Slave traders write books to express remorse.】

[A large-scale petition campaign was also launched among the public. ]

【At the same time, due to economic transformation. 】

【After the Industrial Revolution, capitalist powers such as Britain needed a free market rather than relying on a plantation economy.】

【Colonial reformers advocated replacing slavery with legal trade.】

[At the same time, in order to combat the colonial power of France and Spain, Britain appeared as an abolitionist defender.]

[Trying to take the moral high ground.]

[So in 1807, Britain passed the Slave Trade Abolition Act.]

[Although this cannot immediately change the tragedy that has already occurred, it is an important turning point after all.]

[In 1833, the Slavery Abolition Act abolished slavery throughout the empire.]

[But the irony is that the government paid 2000 million pounds of "compensation" to slave owners, while the black people who had suffered endless suffering did not receive a penny of compensation.]

……

End of video about triangular trade.

Barrages of comments also flew out.

"The evil triangular trade, the primitive accumulation of capital!"

"To be honest, the slave trade was a serious business at that time."

"The white capitalists are beasts, and the black chiefs who sell out their compatriots are the same kind of people."

"The people who are most happy to sell piglets are often the people who sell them themselves."

"Those black chiefs are actually the culprits of the black trade."

"For example, the most famous Daho beauty warrior."

Where did the beautiful warrior come from?

"You lost your life, but the chief gained two glass balls!"

"Our middle school teacher whitewashed the triangular trade..."

"It doesn't matter if they are black slaves or white slaves, as long as they are slaves, I will not support them!"

"So if you fall behind, you will be beaten. Our enemies started out as pirates. Remember this."

"Look, the ones who sold black people were the chiefs and kings. It's all Africa's fault. Why blame the colonizers?"

"White people not only provide weapons, but also provoke various wars among the locals and buy a large number of slaves. Don't wash it."

"To be honest, the British are professional in laying mines and encouraging local people to fight among themselves."

"Our country is still suffering from the mines laid by the British until now."

……

Outside the sky.

Sui Dynasty.

Yang Guang himself was very disdainful of the slave trade.

I feel like I can't make much money.

That is, it makes businessmen rich, but it has little value at the national level.

But later we saw that Britain not only made money directly from triangular trade.

The entire country was also able to form a money-making mechanism around the slave trade.

I couldn't help but take it seriously. "This Englishman is quite resourceful. If I can use this way of making money, I won't have to worry about not achieving great things."

"People are just tools. As long as they can gain power and wealth, why not?"

"As for the source of the slaves? Easy to tell."

"After I destroy Goryeo, I will directly arrange for multiple countries to form there and let them fight among themselves."

"Then just sell the Korean slaves!"

tomorrow.

As the Ming Dynasty's top navigator, Zheng He was naturally no stranger to the cross-sea slave trade.

But even Zheng He, who was well-informed, had visited the White Slave Market.

No one would have expected that the so-called world's most powerful country in later generations would directly expand and strengthen the slave trade and turn it into an industrial chain.

It has become an economic pillar.

"I sailed to the Western Ocean to establish friendly exchanges with other countries, to give silk books, to spread benevolence, and to share the blessing of peace."

"But these barbarians are actually trafficking tens of millions of people on such a large scale?"

"Wherever our Ming fleet goes, we treat others with courtesy and conduct fair trade. How can we tolerate such evil things?"

"Next time you go out to sea, if you encounter a slave ship, just bomb it!"
