When Columbus crossed the Atlantic in 1492, the Islamic world was at the height of its power. The Ottoman Empire was one of the strongest states on Earth, and Muslim empires stretched from Morocco to India, controlling the richest trade routes of the age. Yet in the centuries that followed, not a single Muslim colony was founded in the Americas, while Spain, Portugal, England, and France carved up two continents. Why did the great Muslim powers never cross the Atlantic? The answer runs through the naval geography of the Mediterranean, the wars that locked the Ottomans out of the ocean, and one forgotten plan of another Muslim power. In this animated history documentary, we explore why Islam never reached the Americas, and how close one empire came to trying. ♦Please consider to SUBSCRIBE: https://goo.gl/YJNqek ♦Our general knowledge channel:    / @masteringknowledge   ♦Music by Epidemic Sound Big Thank you to: potatohistory-us, johnathondwigans, MohitAgrawal-d9n, Николай Димитров, Tobias Tron, Mahmoud Shahin, Justin Bourke, Augustus Caesar, Chaim laser Joshua Kerr, Slayer, John McKeon ,Michael Morale,Rory,Smithy3371, The Angry Celt, Paula Collins-Cook, Jonathon Dwigans #History #Documentary
