The Seven New Wonders of the World were determined by a popular vote, and Christ the Redeemer won because of massive Brazilian mobilization in said vote
The US has both rule of land and blood. If you were born in the US, you’re a citizen. If either of your parents were born in the US, but you weren’t, you’re a citizen.
but rule of land is pretty american (continent) thing. It needed a lot in influx, and simplyfied greatly to let anyone born there become a citizen. but also gives some problems! there are europeans, born in usa, that get in trouble for having the usa nationality without ever having known to have it, untill some 10 years ago some usa laws makes them having to pay taxes while they never lives, grew up , studies or worked there ... and it seems to be really complicated to let yourself stop from being an usa citizen on paper..
@@JeroenJA I'm surprised that other countries allow to pay taxes from their territory to US It is obviously against the common rule of taxation that works everywhere except the US
13:45 when the contients split, monkeys were divided between old and new world monkeys. Half ended up on on contient and half on the other. Thats it. Primates existed before Africa and South America basically completely divided. They were at least close enough to each other a small group got across. Primates did also used to be more widespread but due to various climate changes things happen and some primates perished even before we got there.
This seems like an intuitive answer but it's incorrect. Monkeys only diverged around 50 million years ago, the divergence is due to cross-Atlantic migration, possibly accross islands that no longer exist since sea levels were much lower at that time.
Wrong. South America and Africa split about 138M years ago. First Primates (not monkeys, primates) appeared about 65M years ago. They looked more like Tree shrews than Monkeys 65M years ago.
I am a dual citizen of Italy and USA. I was born in the USA. My parents emigrated in the 60s. I did not have to wait more than a month or so before I got my Italian citizenship and passport. But then again, I lived in NYC not Argentina or Brazil.
Yeah i can get a Italian citizenship which would Be my third since i already am a french and norwegian citizen. Since i am already a EU citizen its probably easy for me to get it
According to my 2 minutes of very accurate google research, during the goldrush many of them moved to America and heard rumours that a lot of money could be made in Alaska so they moved there
This map does not mean that montenegran origin is the most common origin for people in Alaska not coming from Alaska, but that the state with the highest percentage of people from Montenegro is Alaska. Just look at how North Dakota appears for Germany, Norway and Iceland.
17:11 the point isn't to get passengers from London to the US, it's to ship goods. Missing from the map is a spur that goes down to china, and another that potentially goes from Sakhalin to Japan and then South Korea.
I’ve lived in the St. Louis metro my whole life and I never knew that there was such a huge Bosnian population downtown. I’m confused how some well-educated British guy who has been to Missouri like once knows this and I don’t, but either way I’m happy to learn! Thank you Toycat!
I think the more interesting conclusion from the second map (European ancestry) is not that they are mostly eastern states (because Illinois Wisconsin Alaska North Dakota Missouri and Iowa) but is that they are all northern states except for New Mexico. I think this is because southern states have higher black and Latino populations so there is less room for the European population percentage to overtake your Iowa’s Vermont’s and so on.
@@PUNishment777 I can’t tell if you’re joking or stupid. If you’re not joking, it’s obvious that the DPRK isn’t a democracy because a Democracy allows someone to choose what they want and those elections in the DPRK only give you one option thus not allowing you to vote for who you want. Democracy (according to Wikipedia): Democracy is a form of government in which the people have the authority to deliberate and decide legislation, or to choose governing officials to do so. You don’t get to decide who is your leader when you only have one option that you are forced to pick.
@@PUNishment777 But they will try to force you to vote by physically dragging you into the area or putting you in a camp if you refuse to do so WITHOUT YOUR CONSENT. And this doesn't even include the fact that you only have 1 option to vote for so YOU DON'T GET TO CHOOSE the person that you want to run the Olympics. By your logic, if someone pulls a gun at you and tells you to hand over your wallet and you do so that isn't theft because you "voluntarily" decided to hand over the money.
As an argentine i can confirm the waiting times to get an appointment at the Italian consulate are just incredibly long. There are just way too many people trying to get an appointment and just a few can get it at a time. I believe there’s even people suing the Italian consulates and stuff like that. Last year my dad’s cousin got through the process so my family and I were doing some research to do the same with my dad (the rest of us already have the Spanish citizenship because of my mom) so my dad’s the only one without European citizenship at the moment. And yep, getting an appointment is basically impossible, you need to be really lucky tbh. There’s some people who directly travel to Italy to do it, we thought about it but tbh it’s not worth it for our particular situation, so we’ll just keep trying in Buenos Aires!
North Dakota, Maine and Minnesota make complete sense. I've lived in all 3 and it's 100% reflected in their culture. ND has tons of Norsk heritage spots and everyone claims to have it in their bloodline. In Maine just go to the beach and you'll know exactly who's French
I'm afraid to correct you in fear of getting whooshed. Oh well. That's not what he meant. He means to ask how they possibly got around the Sahara and ended up living there.
@@e.458 Camels with wings? I've always thought it suspicious that they have lumps on there backs... what could they be hiding from us? Water? As if! There must be extra limbs in there.
Nome is listed because it'd be where the rail goes out into the Bering Strait from. Nome isn't important from a population standpoint, but from a strategic standpoint, it's especially the Gibraltar of the Bering Strait. From there (more or less, other positions would be better, it's the high arctic, there aren't many people there, you make do with where they live) you can essentially control the whole Bering Strait with ease. Although, they would likely not build the rail through Nome, or even particularly near it, Nome is by far the largest place near where they would actually build it.
New York definitely checks out for Russia Tons of Russian-Americans in the NYC Metro. I should know, my dad was one of them. Most Russian-Americans are in southern Brooklyn like Brighton Beach
I'm from St. Louis and, yes. There were a lot of Bosnians that came in the 90s during/after the Balkan wars. Subsequently, others from the region have settled there and have quite the mixed community that I have seen confound people familiar with the conflicts.
Poland has pretty specific rules consiodering nationality, it's unlimited rule of blood (if you can prove any of your ancestros had Polish nationality, you have Polish nationality), but we only recognize Polish nationality. Either you have Polish nationality or you not, there is no distinction between non-Poles. There's only rules on interaction with other countries (not nationalities), which include diplomatc missions, but there is no other distinction. Poland for that reason doesn't recognize dual citizenship. We don't require you drop other citizenships, we just don't recognize they exist. So, if you hold Polish citizenship, by all Polish institutions you will always be recognized as 100% Pole. So, if you manage to for some reason become US President, you will be obliged to act in best interests of Polnad above USA. Or you could be pronounced a traitor, which is life in prison in times of peace, death in times of war.
The rule of blood and land thing is interesting from the point of view of a brazilian, because most of us from southeast and south have italian/spanish/german grandparents. Literally about 30% of brazilians are eligible for italian citizenship.
The reason Utah has the highest proportion of people from the UK is because the Mormons have been sending missionaries to Britain since 1837, and the early ones were pretty successful - lots of their converts subsequently migrated to Utah.
Cat: "Why are there no monkeys here? Why are they here and here but not between them?" BECAUSE IT'S FUCKING WASTELAND lol! That's the Sahara desert, NOTHING lives there, nothing grows apart from cacti There's just nothing there at all.
I’m from Minnesota and both of my parents’ families are from two tiny Swedish towns about 30 mins from each other. My mom’s side was going to go to California but someone told them Minnesota looked just like Sweden.
i was born in argentina but i cut off the waiting time because i made my italian passport when i was living in greece, since greece doesn’t have that many greek-italians wanting to convert to italian citizenship. due to corona i went to visit family and eventually had to renew my passport in argentina (was supposed to return in january stayed till april) because my flight kept getting postponed and getting an appointment to renew my passport in that consulate was such a bureaucratic pain in the butt
11:17 "Frankfurt is part of Hesse-Darmstadt" - actually it is not, it's its own independent city-state (in 1850). It was annexed by Prussia in 1863 (as part of its province Hesse-Nassau). That province was only merged with (parts of) Hesse-Darmstadt after World War II, when Prussia was dissolved.
The split of new and old world monkeys was after the new and the old world split. Genetically they're very distinct. New worlds are generally smaller, lighter and can have prehensile tails. Monkeys really went in two different directions from then on. You see this split often with other animals as well. New world and old world tarantulas are very different, with the former being extremely docile but having the ability to shed urticating hairs, and the second being more skittish and more likely to bite defensively.
@@ibx2cat How about this good, square, inclusive, and just idea: "The Irish Republic of Ireland, Scotland, Isle Man, Wales, Northumbria, and Subjugated Bottom England" But for real, very fun videos. If you ever find your way out into Nassau or Suffolk County know you have an allied fella in me.
The reason so many New Mexicans have Spanish ancestry is because New Mexico has been settled by hispanic people for 500 years, and many families there can trace their ancestry all the way back to Spain.
Why is there a giant gap between Morocco and southern West Africa?… Could be the fact that there is a giant sand pit called Sahara where primates aren‘t very comfortable to live, but who am I to tell? Also, I think a lot of primates were brought to the new world by european explorers. That could be the reason for the primate population in South America.
I love how he says this is what I think of the UK and immediately pulls up the map of the entire world. For years I'm pretty sure that's how most people saw the uk. 🤣🤣🤣
(From est btw) So few people live in the mountain time zone that I didn’t even know it existed until I started wondering if there was a time zone that was 2 hours behind me
The Reddit user’s map could have showed it better, Germany did exist in 1851, as a resurrected confederation under weak Habsburg leadership. There was a lot of autonomy but still nominal control by Franz Joseph over Germany minus Prussia until the war in 1866 that gave it all to Prussia.
The Sahara Desert used to be blue and green and full of life...it dried up about 9,000 years ago. That's why they have primates in North Africa (I think)
