Queen Nzinga - The Double Queen - #2 (Patreon)

Content

Queen Nzinga is a woman who, despite being one of the best- documented rulers in early modern Africa, still presents a puzzle. Her record, from ambitious noble, to guerrilla fighter, to consummate diplomat and religious reformer is still haunted by myths conjured up by her enemies--and a few constructed by Nzinga herself.  

Catch our Lies episode next week for behind-the-scenes on our research for the Siege of Vienna and Queen Nzinga series!

Queen Nzinga - The Double Queen - Extra History - #2

Nzinga was briefly, temporarily supplanted by Ngola Hari who had been installed by the Portuguese, but she was determined to let nothing get in the way of keeping West Africa safe from colonial powers. To achieve this end, she would go on to form--and break, as she pleased--alliances with the Dutch, the Imbangala, and even the Catholic Church!

On Brazil's role in Portugal's West African campaign - didn't the Netherlands occupy (much of) Brazil around this time?

Alternate History Idea: What if the African Great Lakes never Dried up and the Sahara Remained Green, allowing Easier communication and Trade between European and African Civilizations?

Let me preface by saying this: I do not say this to disrespect your researcher, nor your general team. I enjoy the work and attention that you bring to under-represented locations. That said, the script has what i think is a careless error in it. 0:54: 'Queen Nzinga had become the first West African ruler to truly challenge the portuguese expansion'. No... she wasn't. Firstly, even calling Queen Nzinga a 'West African ruler' is a bit... iffy. Granted, this depends on how you define 'West Africa', but most definitions of the term only apply the term to the 'peninsula' that juts out at the northern half of the continent; Put another way, it 'west africa' typically not apply to the regions inwhich the kingdoms of Kongo, Ndongo, and Matamba are seated, which are typically referred to as 'Central Africa'. But, whatever, my bigger issue is with claiming that she was the first ruler of her region to resist portuguese expansion. She was not. The Kongo kingdom had made war with the portuguese to limit expansion before Nzinga did. I admit that I am overreacting to a relatively small issue; but for me it is important to make sure that these kingdoms are properly represented, since they are so often glossed over. Anyway, those are all the complaints i have. Good stuff as usual!
