쉐도잉 연습: The Longest War EVER - 영상으로 영어 말하기 배우기

Some wars are pretty long.

Think of the 30 years war, the 80 years war, or the 100 years war that actually spent 116 years.

But none of those got anywhere close to this massive war that we're going to try to cover within 20 minutes today.

I'll be honest, it's going to be a bit simplified since we basically got 20 minutes divided by 781 years, so one and a half seconds per year,

which also means we're already 30 years behind schedule.

But then again, it's not like eight generations of Christians and Muslims were stabbing each other at all times.

Or were they?

Let's talk about the Reconquista.

Historically Facts, Part 15.

Let's travel back to the year 711 to set the stage.

Europe is still hungover from the fall of Rome that happened two centuries ago.

And the Iberian Peninsula, basically today's Spain and Portugal, is run by the Visigoths.

On paper, the Visigothic Kingdom was wealthy, Christian and centralized.

Though in reality, like with most medieval kingdoms at the time, it was indeed very brittle and constantly undermined by personal vendettas.

North of the Visigothic Kingdom we find the Frankish Kingdom, who were essentially the bigger bro in the Gaul region.

The kingdoms fought each other before and during the last deciding battle, the Franks managed to crush the Visigothic army and even killed their king in battle.

Yikes!

It did all happen a while ago, so the two kingdoms weren't actively fighting each other, but it did mean that they weren't allies in times of need either.

Anyway, to the south of the Visigothic Kingdom, if you look past the water, we find Morocco, or back then, the Umayyad dynasty.

And no, these weren't just another set of Islamic warlords.

They were the world's superpower.

Their empire stretched from the Atlantic Ocean to the mountains of Persia.

The capital of the Umayyad sat in Damascus, but they didn't originally come from there.

The massive caliphate started under Prophet Muhammad, who started the lightning conquest from Saudi Arabia and after many years of Islamic betrayals,

the Umayyads turned the Prophet's mission into this massive imperial machine.

And at the time, the Umayyads eyes were focused on North Africa.

The Arabs had pushed west for decades, overrunning Byzantine fortresses and forcing the local Berber tribes to convert and submit.

Many of those Berbers accepted Islam and joined the new world order, but that doesn't mean they were exactly friends with their Arab overlords.

They were often treated as second-class Muslims by racist governors, which meant they were seen useful,

expendable and conveniently far away from Damascus.

This was especially useful for the current Umayyad governor of North Africa, Musa bin Nusayr, who now had tens of thousands of new recruits,

but it also brought a new issue to the table.

Because the new recruits were promised wealth, divine retribution and all that fancy stuff.

But all they got was laughable battles with rogue mountain tribes.

They yearned for something big and economically worth it.

So the governor looked across the waters of Maghreb and noticed the Visigoth Kingdom.

To give you some context, the Umayyads believed they had the divine duty to expand Islam into every land that wasn't yet under Allah's rule.

That duty has a name, Jihad.

So today, that word is loaded with politics and fear, back then it simply meant holy war to spread the faith,

enforce Allah's justice and bring the non-Muslims under submission.

You know, as a Christian, that sounds horrible.

Let's just make sure these jihadists don't get anywhere close to our...

Oh my god, they're here already!

Before the Christian Visigoths even realized what was happening, sails were already dotting the southern horizon.

In 711, a Berber general named Tarek bin Ziyad crossed the narrow strait with an army of around 7,000 men.

Think of it as a bunch of Berbers, a few costly Arabs, and many black banners of the Umayyads waving around.

The army landed on a steep rocky cliff, which would later be named Tarek's Mountain, though today it is known as Gibraltar.

Tarek's men came fast, quiet, and terrifyingly well supplied to battle, mainly due to a Christian noble who wanted revenge against the disputed King Roderick.

So he gave the invaders plenty of weapons, food and horses. And Taric?

He was going all or nothing into this campaign.

Since the moment his forces landed, he supposedly ordered his own ships to be burned, just to make sure no one got any bright ideas about going home.

He turned towards the army and screamed, Behind you is the sea, before you is the enemy.

You have nothing left but your faith and your swords.

Now historians aren't sure if he actually said that, but considering what happened next, he might as well have.

Because up north, King Roderick had a bigger problem than a quote-unquote minor Berber raid.

Because while he was reading the news about the Brutes down south, the court jester stole his precious jewelries.

Luckily, since he is King Roderick, he is both judge, jury and executioner.

But the common people, like the jester who actually didn't do a single thing, isn't that lucky.

That's where our sponsor Morgan & Morgan comes in.

There's a reason you don't cross an ocean without a plan.

Just like there's a reason why Morgan & Morgan is America's largest injury law firm.

They've been fighting for the people for over 35 years.

Think of them as your own personal army.

They have over 1,000 lawyers and 100 offices nationwide.

And they have recovered over 30 billion dollars for their clients.

Best yet, their fee is free unless they win.

If you were ever injured due to someone else's negligence, you can check out Morgan & Morgan at forthepeople.com slash historically

So yeah, half the Visigothic nobles hated him, and the other half wasn't sure if he was truly the rightful king.

But as reports of Muslim landings piled up, King Roderick decided he could no longer ignore it, and employed the classic battle tactic of amassing a giant army,

yeeting him towards the enemy, and hopefully return home victorious to convince everyone you are the rightful king after all.

Meanwhile, in South Africa, the Umayyad governor Musa was chilling, thinking that Tarek was about to employ a small operation for the empire.

In reality, however, which no one expected from the Berber general, he was about to take down an entire kingdom.

The Christian and Muslim armies met near a river in the south of the kingdom.

On one side, we had Roderick and his massive Physigothic army.

Tens of thousands of armored warriors, nobles and additional conscripts all fighting under the cross.

On the other side there was the Umayyad army, which was way smaller, much less armored, and mainly Berbers who were told this is their chance to prove themselves in front of Allah.

And while they're at it, maybe loot a few cities.

It should have been an easy win for the Visigoths.

They outnumbered the invaders, had home advantage, and Roderick was so confident he would win that he arrived in full royal bling bling.

But guess what?

Having an army doesn't automatically mean that the politics are on your side.

Remember, half the nobles were basically rooting for the king to fail.

To the point that apparently some of the nobles' armies switched mid-fight and the others just straight up left.

The result was pure chaos for the Christians and Roderick's line of command broke down.

You can probably guess what happened next.

Taric's small force was outnumbered 3 to 1, yet absolutely crushed the Visigothic army.

King Roderick's body was never found.

Some reports said that he drowned in the river they fought him.

Others claimed he was simply chopped into pieces by the enemy cavalry.

Point is, the king was gone, and with him, so was the Visigothic kingdom that existed for 300 years.

General Tarek, realizing how big this victory was, wasted no time.

His army continued to sweep north.

Within months, they had taken Cordoba, Granada, and even Toledo, the Visigothic capital.

Every town that surrendered was spared and heavily taxed.

The towns who were stubborn on the other hand got spanked for being naughty.

Now imagine the reaction of Governor Musa when he heard what his general managed to do without his supervision.

It was supposed to be a small reconnaissance mission, not a whole conquest.

He quickly assembled his own army and sailed north to join the fun also, partly to make sure Damascus didn't think his subordinate became the new hero of Islam.

100

And by 718, just 7 years after that first landing, nearly the entire Iberian Peninsula was under Muslim control.

101

The place needed a new name of course, so they called it Al-Andalus, which meant the land of the Vendals.

102

Though the Christian locals probably called it something closer to the end of the world.

103

The Umayyads were hyped.

104

Their divine mission to spread Islam had worked.

105

This managed to raise one of the oldest Christian kingdoms in just a couple years.

106

And when you got that kind of momentum going, you don't just stop there.

107

Next up was the Frankish kingdom, those filthy Christian baguette people.

108

In the year 720, Doumaet stared at the Pyrenees, those big stinky mountains that separated the Empire from the Franks.

109

So naturally, they crossed them.

110

Led by legendary commanders with very difficult names, Muslim armies surged north into Septimania aka sovereign France.

111

They swiftly captured Narbonne, raided Bordeaux and began inching closer and closer to the heart of Gaul.

112

While all of that was going on, Al-Andalus was surprisingly thriving.

113

New cities began rising from Roman ruins.

114

The crumbling Visigothic order was replaced by the classic Arabic administration.

115

And most importantly, trade absolutely exploded for the first time in centuries, as the Umayyad province was now connected to the wealth of the wider Islamic world.

116

Back to the Franks though, because they were getting nervous.

117

And by nervous, I mean extremely anxious.

118

They just started rebuilding their own little patchwork kingdom after centuries of chaos.

119

The man who kept it all together, and basically the ruler, was Charles Martel.

120

Who wasn't even the king or anything, he was simply the CEO of the army.

121

When he heard that the Muslims were pillaging their way up from Bordeaux, Charles decided they endured enough bullying.

122

So in 732, it was time for Christians vs Muslims part 2.

123

The two armies met between the cities of Tours and Potien, and what followed became one of the most mythologized battles in European history.

124

The Muslim army was large, fast and had cavalry that could tear through anything short of a miracle.

125

The Franks, on the other hand, were an infantry-heavy army.

126

I'm talking disciplined, armored and extremely determined soldiers who were far from eager to become yet another Umea-Tex province.

127

Charles positioned his troops on a wooded hill, formed a dense shield wall and just waited.

128

Not for a couple hours, but an entire week.

129

During all that time, both armies just stood there, menacingly.

130

When the Muslims finally grew bored and decided to attack, they slammed into the wall of shields.

131

Wave after wave ramped against the Frankish defense line.

132

And somehow, in that chaos, the Umayyad commander was killed.

133

That single moment flipped the entire battle.

134

The Muslim army panicked having lost their commander and retreated under the cover of the night back to Al-Andalus.

135

This moment, according to Christian Chronicles, was the moment Europe was saved and Charles Martel, nicknamed Charles the Hammer, became a hero.

136

The Muslims called it a tactical retreat, the Christians called it a divine victory, and everyone agreed that invading France wasn't worth the effort.

137

Let someone else have that fun later.

138

By the mid 700s a line was drawn.

139

To the south Al-Andalus, which was rich, thriving and Muslim.

140

And to the north the patchwork of Christian realms.

141

Battered but alive.

142

Interestingly though, in between those two superpowers, a spark of resistance began to form.

143

Even though the Iberia was now under Muslim control, a few Christian households managed to survive the storm in the northern mountains.

144

And in those misty valleys, a legend began to take shape.

145

The Visigothic Christians aren't defeated.

146

They are merely waiting.

147

Waiting for the Reconquista.

148

The Muslim governors of Al-Andalus were busy carving up their new prize, so they didn't pay much attention to the scruffy mountain folk up north.

149

Because let's face it, what could a few hundred starving shepherds possibly do against the Caliph's empire, right?

150

Well, surprise!

151

In the rough mountains of Asturias, a Visigothic noble, or depending on who you ask, a local warlord named Belayo had refused to surrender.

152

He'd seen his kingdom fall, his fellow nobles defect, the churches burn and decided

153

that he was not about to pay tax to the guys who just invaded.

154

He gathered a few hundred followers, think ex-soldiers, stubborn farmers, monks and anyone else who could swing a sword and ventured deep into the valleys.

155

That little pocket of resistance became the seat of something entirely new, the Kingdom of Asturias.

156

Now, to be clear, Kingdom is generous, it was more like a handful of huts, a church and a very optimistic cave,

157

but it was independent and that made it dangerous for the Umayyads.

158

So two years after the invasion of France, the Umayyads decided to snuff it out.

159

They sent a small task force north, expecting an easy win.

160

You know, just another tax collection day.

161

The Umayyads marched into Cova Donga, a narrow mountain pass surrounded by steep cliffs.

162

And just out of sight, Peleo and his men were waiting.

163

Patiently.

164

When the Muslims walked in deep enough, the Christian resistance rained rocks, arrows and every curse word in early medieval Spanish on them.

165

The terrain turned it from a fight into a one-sided massacre.

166

The Muslim force fled and Peleo, the man nobody took serious, had just pulled off the first Christian victory in Muslim Spain.

167

Now, let's not over-hype it of course.

168

Maybe a few hundred soldiers died on each side, and this small skirmish didn't change anything on the map, but it did reinforce the legend about the Christians in the mountains.

169

The victory became a Christian household tale, and perhaps proof that Allah's empire wasn't invincible after all.

170

The Battle of Covadonga is according to many the official start of the Reconquista.

171

Peleo was crowned the first king of Asturias.

172

His people started rebuilding, fortifying, praying and breeding.

173

Mostly the last one, because within a few generations, the tiny cave kingdom of Asturias would become the base of something much bigger.

174

The Muslims didn't exactly lose sleep over losing to some mountain hermits, but even if they did, they had a way bigger problem at hand.

175

Because right now, their own empire was literally imploding.

176

Back in Damascus, the Umayyad Caliphate, that giant empire stretching from Spain to India, had made a lot of enemies.

177

Between corrupt governors, angry non-Arab Muslims and every family feud possible, things finally boiled over in 750 when a rival clan,

178

the Abbasids, overtrew the Umayyad in a spectacular bloodbath.

179

The new Abbasid rulers moved the capital east to Baghdad, effectively abandoning the far-off province of Al-Andalus.

180

But one Umayyad prince, Abd al-Rahman, managed to escape the Abbasid massacre.

181

After many months of hiding and running for his life, he crossed the Mediterranean, landed in Spain and thought, well everyone here is already Umayyad anyway, revive the empire.

182

So in 756, Abd al-Rahman declared himself Emir of Cordoba and by doing so created an independent Muslim state,

183

no longer loyal to Baghdad, now loyal to just himself.

184

We made two videos on the guy

185

and his story by the way is frankly incredible and worth a watch later after this video.

186

This little act of defiance turned Al-Andalus from a distant colony to a self-sufficient power.

187

And under the new emirate of Cordoba, Al-Andalus became one of the most advanced societies in Europe.

188

They built libraries that dwarfed anything north of the Pyrenees,

189

introduced irrigation, citrus, algebra and architecture that made medieval Europeans look like fools.

190

Even some Christian scholar started heading south to study Arabic philosophy and probably eat something else that wasn't salted pork for once.

191

Meanwhile up north, the kingdom of Astorias was slowly crawling out of its cave face.

192

Pelayo was dead, but his successors pushed west into Galicia and east into Lyon.

193

Those were tiny steps, more like land reclamation than conquest, but they mattered.

194

Every hill, every valley retaken became part of the holy propaganda, proof that God was still on their side.

195

By the late 1800s, a kind of cold war had settled over the peninsula.

196

The little mountain refuge of Asturias had evolved into the Kingdom of Lyon, now ruling most of the northwest.

197

From there, new offshoots began to form.

198

Castile in the center, Navarre in the Pyrenees, Aragon farther east.

199

Each had its own kings, its own squabbles and one shared goal.

200

Push south.

201

Back down in Al-Andalus, the Muslims in the meantime had their own glow up moment.

202

After Abd al-Rahman III, who came to power in 912, Cordoba became a literal beacon of wealth and learning.

203

He stabilized the borders, crushed the rebellions, expanded trade with North Africa and in 929 went a step further,

204

proclaiming himself no longer Emir, but Caliph of Cordoba, essentially equalizing the country to the opposite Caliph in Baghdad.

205

A legendary win for the Muslim world.

206

But naturally, even golden ages come with cracks.

207

The Caliphate's prosperity depended on unity.

208

Arab elites, Berber soldiers, local converts and Jewish administrators all working together.

209

And if there is one thing the Iberian Peninsula hates more than peace, it's cooperation.

210

When Abd al-Rahman III and his brilliant son Al-Hakam II died, the Muslim system started to wobble.

211

And shortly after, in the year 1009, Cordoba descended into a Muslim civil war.

212

A brutal power struggle that tore the Caliphate apart.

213

But as a result, not even 20 years later, Al-Andalus had shattered into dozens of taifas.

214

Independent Muslim city-states that were constantly undermining each other.

215

In short, the South was burning itself down.

216

Meanwhile, the Christians in the North smelled the opportunity.

217

Their enemy had just split into 20 different pieces.

218

And in a scenario like that, even a cave kingdom can start dreaming big.

219

It was finally time for the Uno reverse.

220

Lyon, Navarre, Castile and Aragon began pushing south, taking fortresses one by one.

221

If you are a Christian, you are probably super hyped right now, but it wasn't an epic steamroll battle.

222

It was more like a centuries long slow grind, like a really long chess match of raids, sieges, marriages and betrayals.

223

Now don't get me wrong, because the Christian forces wanted it to take long, because their biggest ally at the moment was time itself.

224

Remember, the Taifas didn't just fight the northern kingdoms, they were also fighting each other.

225

Every Muslim prince wanted to taste the glory of being the next caliph.

226

Every city wanted to outshine Cordoba's ghost.

227

And when things got too hot between the Muslims, some of them did the most counterproductive thing possible.

228

They paid the Christian kings for protection.

229

Yes, really.

230

Muslim rulers in Spain were funding the armies that were literally praying for their downfall.

231

By the 1080's the tide was turning hard.

232

The Christian kingdoms were stronger, richer and far more organized.

233

Castile emerged as the dominant force under King Alfonso VI, who in 1085 pulled off major flags.

234

He captured Toledo, the old Visigothic capital.

235

That one hit different.

236

It was the first great city retaken for Christendom and it sent a message as clear as a church bell.

237

Quistin wasn't a legend anymore, it was happening.

238

Down south the Taifas panicked, so they called for help and from across the strait came new players,

239

the Almoravids, a hardline muslim dynasty from North Africa, cloaked in black veils, mounted on camels and preaching strict islamic law.

240

They crossed the strait of Gibraltar like the Umayyads had 3 centuries before, except this time to save Al-Andalus, not conquer it.

241

At first, they did well.

242

In 1086, the Almoravids crushed Alfonso VI at the Battle of Sagraias, halting the Christian advance for an entire generation.

243

But, and I know I'm starting to sound like a broken record here, power corrupts fast in the Arberia.

244

Within decades, the Almoravids softened, splintered and lost their zeal.

245

And soon enough, they themselves needed saving.

246

So another stricter movement replaced them, the Almohads.

247

The Almohads made the Almoravids look like hippies.

248

They rebuilt the Southern Empire, enforced puritanical Islam and even pushed north again.

249

In 1195, they handed the Christians a major defeat yet again.

250

For a moment, it looked like history might repeat itself, that the cross would crumble before the crescent again.

251

But then came 1212.

252

United for once under a rare moment of Christian cooperation.

253

Castile, Aragon, Navarre, even Crusaders from France met up and faced the Almohad army at Las Navas de Tolosa,

254

deep in the Andalusian hills.

255

The battle was brutal, chaotic and decisive, often credited by scholars as the battle of the two faiths.

256

Whoever would win was going to rule over the Iberian Peninsula.

257

Naturally, in a decisive war, whether we like it or not, one has to win.

258

And the winners were the Christians.

259

The Christians broke through the Almohad camp and shattered their army.

260

That was the moment Al-Andalus truly began to fell apart for good.

261

Over the next century, the Christians ruled south, swallowing cities like Cordoba in 1236, Valencia in 1238 and Seville in 1248.

262

By the mid 1200s, Muslim Spain was gone.

263

Almost.

264

Only one last kingdom held out.

265

Granada.

266

Granada, tucked beneath the Sierra Nevada mountains, was the last jewel of Alandelus.

267

Small, wealthy and clever enough to survive by diplomacy.

268

Its rulers, the Nazarets, paid tribute to Castile,

269

married their daughters into Christian courts and essentially made sure the Reconquista didn't finish for a whopping 200 extra years.

270

200 years of walking on political tightropes, but every rope raised eventually.

271

By the late 1400s, the Christian kingdoms had united under Ferdinand of Aragon and Isabella of Castile, aka the famous Catholic Monarchs.

272

Their marriage merged Spain into one super state.

273

The Kingdom of Granada became their honeymoon prize.

274

In 1482, the Catholic Monarchs launched a 10-year campaign to finish what Pelleo had started 7 centuries earlier.

275

Fortress by fortress, valley by valley, they closed the noose around the city.

276

Finally, on January 2nd, 1492, under the shadow of the Alhambra Palace, the last Muslim ruler handed over their keys to the city to Verdinand and Isabella.

277

After 781 years, the Reconquista was finally over.

278

The crescent lowered, the cross raced, Spain was whole, or at least that's what they told themselves.

279

In reality, it was the end of one era and the violent birth of another.

280

Because that same year, in 1492, a certain Italian sailor named Christopher Columbus sailed west under their flag,

281

carrying the same fire of conquest that had burned across Siberia for 8 centuries, ready to plant it in America.

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
