Yes, you are right, we live in the age of information, and no one can lie anymore! But at the same time, many can spread misinformation as well! You yourself said that Iran used to refer to a much larger area. That is true. But Iran lost those areas in wars. That, however, does not change the fact that the name Iran existed from dawn of Iranian history. Other parts, such as Afghanistan, Tajikstan, Azerbaijan, etc. can also call themselves Iran or part of greater Iran. But the fact stays. Iran existed for thousands of years. There was no name change. Only asking the Westerners not to call it Persia and use Iran instead. You can see ver old books (e.g. Shahname Ferdowsi) using the name Iran. And in more ecent documents (but much older than 88 years) such as treties between Iran and other countries, coins, stamps, etc. that the name Iran has been used. So, if you are after the truth, please check these.
Russia was not a new country borne out of a collapsed Soviet Union-it existed before and throughout the Soviet era. Russia was the largest and strongest member of the SU.
The Soviet Union was not renamed Russia, but split into 15 states. And Yugoslavia did not disintegrate in 1991, it existed for many more years, included Serbia and Montenegro, then was renamed the Union State of Serbia and Montenegro, and only then was divided into a separate Serbia and a separate Montenegro.
Yugoslavia didn't changed to Serbia ..it was dissolved into multiple nations...not only becoming Serbia....It is now the countries of Serbia,Croatia,Montenegro,Macedonia,Bosnia-Herzegovina and Slovenia
@@virgiesipat8630 yes u are right but then Serbia is the biggest country out of Yugoslavia and it’s more well-known so that’s why a lot of ppl say that Yugoslavia changed to Serbia.
И всё-таки, случай с Югославией, так и с СССР не совсем корректны. Эти государства с федеративным устройством были разделены на составляющие части. Если уж на то пошло, то СССР можно было назвать Содружество Независимых Государств (СНГ)...
Tanzania, officially known as The United Republic of Tanzania consists of Tanganyika, which is the part on the African mainland and Zanzibar, an island off the coast. The name Tanzania is a combination of (Tan)ganyika and (Zan)zibar, with the suffix -ia at the end
Zanzibar is NOT "just an island off the coast of Tanganyika". It was an independent island kingdom which later chose to merge with Tanganyika to form the Republic of Tanzania.
It wasn't a nation as such, but a collection of many indigenous nations that hadn't heard of New Holland. The colony of New South Wales came before Australia (founded in 1901?)
New Holland, then New South Wales on the eastern ⅔rds until the British established the Swan River Colony and renamed New Holland, though the Dutch never really claimed the land to begin with
Beautiful presentation, but one suggestion: Could you make a sign on the map of the nation, which you introduce? I don`t know every country and it would be helpful for my orientation...
In 1999 Venezuela changed its name from "Republic of Venezuela" to "Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela" to reflect the historic importance of Simon Bolivar, the country´s Liberator.
Iran NEVER changed its name. Only the west called Iran “Persia” because that’s what the Greeks called Iran. The country of Iran’s name has been IRAN as far back as 5,000 to 8,000 years ago if not longer.
@@maria_belgradskaya Well, Persia is wrong and the Russians need to learn the correct name which is Iran, meaning the land of Aryans or Aryan people. We call Russia with its correct name of Roussiyeh which means the land of Rouss people.
@@sirsirosariya9617 Iran, unlike the Moscow kingdom, did not steal its name from a neighboring country and therefore does not use the Greek translation of its country, and Rus' was within the boundaries of the Kyiv, Chernihiv, Pereyaslav principalities, the modern territory of Ukraine in the 9th - 13th centuries, Rusyn Slavs lived there, who became Ukrainians. Moscow and St. Petersburg did not exist in those days, and the Finno-Ugric mayor and Chud lived in their territories.
Иран не всегда назывплся таковым. Он был в течении нескольких веков назван именами персидских, монголских и тюркских правителей. Напр.: Газнавидским, Ахамединским, Аббасидским, Исмаилидским и др.
Ethiopia is the greek name of the land, not the indigenous one. It's found in homeric and hesiodian epics. Aιθίοψ (ethiops-ethiopian) meant "sun-burned figure man".
Ethiopia is the ancient name of Sudan. The Greeks used to call southern Egypt, the country of Nubia, by that name to distinguish them from Egypt and Sudan. It is mentioned in the holy books and among the Romans as Ethiopia and the country of Kush.
Taiwan is always Taiwan. It came from the name of one of native tribes(Taivoan). The Western name was another name coined by a Portuguese and commonly used for only a short time under the brief colonization of the Dutch and Spain. Then the East and the West used two different names until post-war.
Correction Zanzibar did not change to Tanzania rather two nations mainland Tanganyika and Zanzibar & Pemba mergers to for the United Republic of Tanzania.
Careful. You said that Zaire became Congo, but it’s more specifically the Democratic Republic of the Congo, because the Republic of Congo to its north is a separate nation. Often people will call the two countries “Congo-Kinshasa” and “Congo-Brazzaville” after their respective capital cities.
My friend, Iran never changed its name! People of Iran always referred to their conutry as Iran. Western countries referred to Iran as Persia. Reza Shah, just announced to the world that they must drop Persia and use Iran. So, that was not a name chage, it was only reference to Iran by others that was changed.
The Achaemenid Persian Empire did not call their country Iran. The Achaemenids left a document on stone with cuneiform script in ancient Persian during ancient times, and today its translation can be found in various languages. They did not use the word Iran anywhere in their documents. The word Iran was first used for the country during the Parthian and Persian (Sassanian) periods.
Nope, it remained Yugoslavia by name, but it consisted of only two countries, instead of six like before (Slovenia, Croatia, Macedonia (or as it's now called- North Macedonia) and Bosnia and Herzegovina became independent). After that, the name changed to Serbia and Montenegro. And aaaaafter that, the two countries split, and it was Serbia and Montenegro, but like two separate countries.
The Czech Republic is known as Czechia, but I wonder if Czechia is officially recognized at least as an alternate name for that country or if it is its new name.
@@robertkukuczka9469 , the former Czechoslovakia used to be the autonomous republics of Czech Republic and Slovakia together until January 1, 1993 when both republics split and became two sovereign countries. The flag of Czechoslovakia is currently the flag of the Czech Republic. Slovakia has its own flag, very similar to the flag of Slovenia. Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, was the capital of Czechoslovakia. Bratislava is that of Slovakia.
I don't think Russia belongs here. It's not a name change, Russia simply emerged as a sovereign nation out of the collapse of the Soviet Union. During its existance, the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic was a things which became the Russian Federation in 1991. It's not a revertion to a historic name, the name never went away at all.
Beat me to it by four hours. No Russia was always Russia. Before it was the Russian Federation, it was the Russian SSR, as you mentioned, being a part of the USSR.
@@jameslongstreet9259 As part of the USSR, we were called RSFSR (The Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic). Because our ethnic (and so administrative) makeup was and still is more complex than that of the other republics. The shorter unofficial name was the Russian Federation. After the breakup of the USSR, the name Russian Federation became the official one. The name Russia has been used all along since the Middle Ages. Earlier, it was Rus'.
WRONG INFOMATION, name of Iran is an ancient name, for this country , as it was mentioned several times in famous book Shahnameh , the longest epic poem by Ferdowsi
The Achaemenid Persian Empire did not call their country Iran. The Achaemenids left a document on stone with cuneiform script in ancient Persian during ancient times, and today its translation can be found in various languages.

“You are incorrect. The name Iran is older than the writings of Ferdowsi’s Shahnameh and was used for the Persian Empire (Sasanians) before Islam, known as (Iran Shahr). But if we go further back, we find that the term Iran is very old. For example, the name Iran was used in the writings of Avesta, the Zoroastrian religious book, but it was only used in the Zoroastrian religious book and was not referred to a land or country. For instance, the largest empire of all ancient times, the Achaemenid Persians, called their country the land of the sun and still the land of the Persians. The reason for this was that they were Persian, like the Romans who called themselves Roman and not Italian.”
In Cambodian language (Khmer), we’ve still officially called our country “Kampuchea” since ancient times but the western people call Cambodia (in English) or Cambodge (in French)… by themselves. Maybe, they’ve mispronounced it from the native Khmer or tried to change it in order to easily call in their own languages.
We Indonesian say it Kamboja, pretty much similar prounounciation like "Kampuchea". In Indonesia we even had a Kamboja Flower, most likely found at the cemetery.

You failed to look at all of the countries that changed their names with the collapse of the Soviet Union and there were many. It doesn't matter which order they left in. It collapsed when the President of Russia (Boris Yeltsin) and that of Ukraine (Leonid Kuchma) agreed to separate, which left Grobachev without a country to run.
The Soviet Union and Yugoslavia were informally known as Russia and Serbia respectively. It would be more appropriate to say they are successor states of said defunct countries.
Russia did not change its name, during the Soviet Union, the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic was part of the USSR along with other 14 republics, such as the Ukrainian SSR, Byelorussian SSR, Lithuanian SSR, Latvian SSR, Estonian SSR, Moldavian SSR, Georgian SSR, Azerbaijan SSR , Kazakh SSR, Kirghiz SSR, Uzbek SSR, Turkmen SSR, Tajik SSR. Likewise, the Republic of Serbia was part of Yugoslavia
Actually was a colony. In Italy was created the Ministry of Colonies, which administered all the italian oversees colonies and Ethiopia was part of it. And it was part of the Italian Eastern Africa. The point is that the italian rule over Ethiopia was never solid and there were large portions of this country that continued to fight the italian colonisation until the defeat of the Italians during the Second World War.
Europe only was calling it Persia. The empires there were calling themselves by the name of the ruling dynasties. Kajar, Afshar, Sefevi, Kara goyunlu, Ag goyunlu, Salchuk...
I think several countries you mentioned were not actual countries before an old name, they were formerly colonies and then became independent countries. Another thing, the Soviet Union is not the same as Russia, if the Soviet Union had changed its name to Russia, today the Russian Federation would fully maintain the federal subjects of the extinct Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Another thing, it's not Turkiye, it's Türkiye. 👀
The Turkish people got so tired of English speakers making jokes about their country’s name and turkeys, that they changed its name. Also, you forgot India changing its name to Bharat.
True, but it was never called Persia. Only by the Greeks and later the Western World was it ever known as ‘Persia’ but to the Persian people it was always Iran.

Stop from 7:12 onwards. Russia wasn't the Soviet Union, but a PART of the Soviet Union. It still existed as the Russian Soviet Federal Socialist Republic during the Soviet Union's Existence. Likewise, Serbia wasn't Yugoslavia. Serbia was a PART of Yugoslavia. It existed as the Socialist Republic of Serbia, one of 6 constituent republics within Yugoslavia. Yugoslavia was reduced from six constituent republics to merely Serbia and Montenegro before changing names to The Union of Serbia and Montenegro and finally separating into Serbia and Montenegro. You could've said that the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (*carefully using this specific name and not "Yugoslavia") had changed names to Serbia & Montenegro. Difficult one, but better than claiming Yugoslavia changed names to Serbia.
You got it wrong with Tanzania. It was called Tanganyika during colonial rule. After independence of Tanganyika in 1961. The country was still called Tanganyika until 1964 when the island of zanzibar and the mainland country Tanganyika decided to unite in one country which officially changed the name to Tanzania.
You forgot Philippines 🇵🇭, during Spanish rule, its name was Islas Filipinas but when it came under US rule, the Americans renamed the archipelago to Philippines.
“Siam” is the exonym used by Burmese and Mon-Khmer-speaking, originally referring to Tai-speaking groups living in Chaophraya valley (Central Thailand), Shan people in Salwin valley and Ahom people (Asam) in Brahmaputra valley. The name is found in Old Burmese (hsyam) and Angkorian Khmer (syam) inscriptions and Middle Chinese records (暹 *syem). The word “thai” originally means “(free) people” from Proto-Tai *k.daj, the same root with Tai, Tay, Dai, Hlai, Sui, as opposite to “kha” (Proto-Tai *k.ra) which means slave. The word “thai” in modern Lao means “people” in general but Lao people call their nation “Lao” which means “noble man” since Lanxang kingdom, from Proto-Tai *k.raw, the same root as Rau (Zhuang), Gelao, Mulao, etc. It’s also found in Old Chinese records as 獠 *k.raw which Chinese used to call the southern barbarians (Old Yue people) living in modern-day Guangxi, Guangdong, Yunnan and northern Vietnam. The name “Thai” was used as autonym by Siamese people since Ayutthaya period while western merchants called “Siam” and Chinese called 暹羅 (Old Mandarin *siemluo) which is a merger of 2 ancient states: 暹 (Siem) or “Suvarnabhumi kingdom” in the west bank of Chaophrya river (Mon- and Tai-speaking) and 羅 (Luo) or “Lavo kingdom” in the east bank of Chaophraya river (Khmer-speaking). 暹羅 was also borrowed by Ryukyuans as “shinra” when Ryukyu kingdom conducted trading with Ayutthaya. In present day, Tai-speaking groups in Myanmar’s Shan State, India’s Assam State, China’s Yunnan province and northern Vietnam still call themselves “Tai” like Thai people in Thailand, spelled as “Dǎi” (傣) in Mandarin Chinese and “Thái” or “Tày” in Vietnamese. Modern Chinese call Thailand 泰国 (tàiguó) that is brought to Korean as 태국 (taeguk).
“In fact, the West uses an ancient word where the great land of the Achaemenid Persians unified the entire region for the first time and became the largest empire of all antiquity. The name of this region in ancient stone inscriptions is (Parsa). That’s why in Iran they don’t call their language Iranian, they call it Persian. This itself is a document that shows why the official language of the country in Iran is called Persian and the poetry books in Iran did not say anything in Iranian, but they named their language Persian. You can read the poems of Rumi to increase your knowledge.”
@@Sa-tp6wj You are wrong: In ancient Avestan, the name of Iran is in the form of airyānąm, and in Middle Persian (Pahlavi) it is in the form of eran or Īrān. In ancient Persian, it is also in the form of airya In addition, in the field of poetry, the most important Persian book of which is the Shahnameh Iran has been used many times This word has been used by other poets
@@Sir-doigoreo Are you kidding me right now? Avesta is a Zoroastrian religious book. What does such a word in Avesta have to do with the name of a country? The name of the country is chosen by the rulers who seize power. The Persian ruler Achaemenid did not use the word Iran in any of the ancient Persian writings, but used the word (Aria), which was not for the name of the country. The Achaemenids called their race Aryan and Persian, and they named their land according to the existing documents (huriveh) and (parsa). Something that was spilled in the world (persia) was named. Therefore, the Achaemenids did not call their country Iran. The Sassanid Persians were the ones who named their country (Iran Shahr). The documents are available.
@@Sir-doigoreo “In ancient times, a great empire was formed by the Persian people, who named their empire Achaemenid and called all their territory the Persian territory. In the meantime, according to their beliefs, they also named their land the land of the sun, which in ancient Persian language they used the term ‘huriveh’, which today in Persian language the term ‘hur’ is used for ‘sun’ (khur/khur sheid). The Persians, wherever they conquered, named themselves Persian. All the inscriptions have been decrypted and read, so avoid lying.”
@@Sa-tp6wjYou are talking about ancient Iran, about which there is very little information. First, Iran is mentioned in Achaemenid inscriptions: nap harriyanam Second, Avesta is the most important source of information from this era because it shows the thinking of the general public, the Iranian prophet Zoroaster always mentioned the word Iran. Thirdly, Greek sources mostly referred to this dynasty as the Persian Empire because of the Achaemenid dynasty, which had Persian ancestry, while Cyrus also had a Median ancestry.
The name Türkiye actually did not change. The name of the country is actually Türkiye in Turkish language, so the international name of the country has become the same as in Turkish language. Since Turkey actually has a different meaning and is considered an insult by the people of this country, the name of the country has changed to Turkey in all languages of the world, as in Turkish.
If it were and official change everybody would have changed but the same with India and Bharat everyone stills using the original one. So, no changes at all.
@@eralor2007 No, it is changing slowly. Now they started saying it correctly on international television. In addition, Türkiye writes "Made in Türkiye" on all food and technological products it produces.
Similarly to Turkey -> Türkiye the country of Ivory Coast (different translation in different languages) was renamed. The president decreed in 1985 that the country may only be referred to by its French name Côte d’Ivoire.

@@guenthersteiner9252 Maybe not name changes as in getting a new name, like Burma changing to Myanmar, Ceylon changing to Sri Lanka, Dahomey changing to Benin, Zaire becoming the Democratic Republic of Congo, or Upper Volta becoming Burkina Faso, but they are changes as in how we refer to them. Like instead of saying Ivory Coast, we now say Cote d'Ivoire, instead of saying Cape Verde, we now say Cabo Verde, instead of saying Swaziland, we say Eswatini, and the most recent one, instead of saying Turkey, we say Turkiye.

We Greeks like geography very much, and the second best hobby we have is giving names to foreiners. Like Persia, Ethiopia, Indonesia, etc. When some foreigners approached our Land with not very good intentions (remember Marathon, Thermopylae, Salamis), we asked them: -What is the name of your Language ? And they replied: -Pharshi. So, we named them Persians. Who did we supposed to know that their Language and their Ethnicity had different names ? In all the world, French speak French, Rusians speak Russian, Espanioles speak Espaniol, Arabs speak Arabic, and Hebrews speak Hebrow. But Iranians speak Pharshi ! Our sincere apologies dear Persxxxxx ...Iranians, not our fault. Next time you come to invade Greece, be more accurate: -We speak a language called Pharshi but we call ourselves Ayranians, so don't make the same mistake for the next 4.524 years crazy Greeks.
Yugoslavia -> Serbia is not correct, also that was not a name change, but a disintegration of the country. New name from 1992. was the Federal republic of Yugoslavia. You missed the name change from 1929. when the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenians changed name to the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. Also, in the case of the USSR we had disintegration, not a name change.
Iran didn't change it's name. Iranians had always called their country "Iran" after the Cyrus the Great who was founding father of the country. Just 1935 the Iranian government asked the United nations to call the country by its original name. That's all.
