  1. of course, right after columbus from a spanish ship sailed west and found america, he called the natives as indians, now when magellan with another spanish ship sailed further west and found the philippines, they also called the natives as indians

  2.  @NanoLT  luckily for the philippines and the rest of southeast asia, old world diseases were not new to them than it was for the natives of the americas

  3.  @sharilshahed6106  gunpowder weapons werent new to the philippines, during that time, ships already used small swivel gun type cannons called lantakas to blast enemies. that's why the native word for gun in filipino and other philippine languages is "baril" which was influenced from indonesia who got it from india. tho handheld guns were a new novel rare thing for them, not their ship's cannons tho. but european ships fully loaded with so many cannons were certainly formidable

  5.  @conejitorosada2326  no, the spaniards called natives as "indios" which is spanish for indian. they called the aeta groups as "negritos" meaning little blacks in spanish.

  9.  @BlueflameKing1  it wasnt california to east asia. it was acapulco in mexico to manila in the philippines which is in southeast asia. sailing ships relied on ocean currents which typically went around like it were a circle, which means their route always circled around where hawaii was at. see the map: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4c/Andres_Urdaneta_Tornaviaje.jpg/800px-Andres_Urdaneta_Tornaviaje.jpg they only mentioned california because the return route of the urdaneta tornaviaje was like they said in the video, went from manila in the philippines, going north nearby to japan, over around the arsobispo islands (modern-day bonin islands today owned by japan where iwojima is at), then going around due south near the alaskan aleutian islands, to eventually pass by california in the US, then head further south to acapulco, mexico. of course, if u went from acapulco in mexico towards the philippines, you'd just go around past and skip hawaii, then make your stop point at guam in the marianas islands which the video neglected to mention that magellan actually did find and called the natives as "ladrones"(thieves) for the same reason they mentioned in the video, then they'd get to the philippines. if u see the ocean currents map link i showed u, the current path that lines up close to hawaii is the path from california in the US, that is if ships sailed from california, which is why later, british and americans were to find and deal with hawaii...
