“Tulips” or “Tulpen” in dutch. Became our “national flower” in like the 16th century, because ww traded lots of them in the city of Amsterdam. The VOC was a very large distributer of Tulips. They were by far the most sold “item”. When the “tulpenbubbel” collapsed, the Dutch economy suffered big time, we did not recover from that… That is why we are know as “the land of Tulips”.
Fun fact, the dutch send 20000 tulips to canada every year as a thank you for ww2 ( canada was assigned to liberate most of belgium and the netherlands from the germans) and the dutch royal family took refuge in canada, while here the princess was giving birth, the hospital was declared dutch soil to provide the new born to hold dutch nationality exclusively. We also flew the flag during her birth to honour them. After the liberation, we now host the annual tulip festival
I went to the Canadian memorial in Belgium, as it happens. I think the area/museum is technically Canadian territory or something bizarre like that. Am I right or did I dream that?
@@WelshASMR82Maps yes! France also has a similar one with vimy ridge where the entire memorial grounds is canadian soil. Pretty cool, as for vimy in france it makes it to where canada now has an "official" land border with 3 countries, one being the usa, the others denmark ane france
I'll try! I have lots of Bangladeshi friends, Swansea has a huge Bangladeshi community. Most of my friends in school have parents from there 😊 also you have such nice cuisine
Besides Harlem there are more words based on Dutch in the New York! Yankees comes from the traditional Dutch names Jan and Kees. British used that mockingly, to talk about the Dutch that used to live in New York. Brooklyn = Breukelen, a dutch city. Wallstreet used to be Walstraat. Even dollar comes from the old dutch currency, Daalder!
Well tbh the guy who tried to communicate in old english with the Frisian farmer got as far as to tell the farmer that he that there is a brown cow he wants to milk. But thats everything He understood. Because in (old) english u wanna buy something while frisian uses a verb closer to the german/(maybe also in dutch?) kaufen. Also the first time he asked whether he understands him, the farmer replied with ferstean ik net or in german versteh ich nicht. Still the 3 frisian languages are the closest to english but its still hypothatically because languagedevelopement is way to complex to understand its relations. Welsh f.e. is considered to be closer to breton than to scottish galic and irish.
@@WelshASMR82Maps Thank you for the info, I am from Spain and as a Spaniard I hate England so I heavily support Wales and Scotland so it is alway great to know more things about welsh and scottish history
The Iroquois nation no longer goes by Iroquois as it was the name given to them by the French. They have changed it to Haudenosaunee which is their name in their language
Would highly recommend the channel Ancient Americas if you’re interested in finding out more about the history of indigenous peoples in the Americas. Takes a pretty academic and archeological approach to the subjects and gets super deep with it
Greetings from Germany. You don't have to be ashamed that you cannot unverstanden the baverian dialect many people don't understand it. And hallo is Grüß Gott it means great god.
18:43 Hey! if you want to learn more about the continuation War and Finland's loss of territory to Soviet Union, there is a movie called the unknown soldier (Tuntematon sotilas) I think you would love it. The film is also quite topical or at least a good reminder of what has happened to Finland and Finns, thanks to our dear neighbor from the east.
@@WelshASMR82Maps I as a Finn think that Finland won the winter war and continuation war despite the losses Finland did not lose it's independence and managed to cause around 5 times more casulties to the soviets then the finns suffered themselfs. The soviets could have overrun Finland eventually but the soviets deemed it way too costly and simply not worth it. The soviets technically won both of the wars but in both of them they failed to conquer Finland in its entirety and the soviets considered the winter war an embarassment just like 1 soviet said after the war (we have gained just about enough land to bury our dead) Finns consider the wars during ww2 a moralic victory Finland was not lost Finns were not replaced by russians and a free future for Finland was secured. I would recommend you to check to documentary called (the Nordic war) it tells the fight for Finland's independence during ww2 you can find it on youtube. Of course Finland suffered the fate of having to give land and pay war reperations but a free Finland was never lost and we managed to fully recover from the losses in the 1950,s when the mine clearing and paying the war reperations were finally over and now we have created 1 of the best countries in the world to live. I love my country it has every right to live long live Finland 🇫🇮
