@@paxundpeace9970 Yes it does. Vatican city is the capital of Vatican. it's even the biggest city relative to country side as 100% of Vatican is Vatican city. the capital building is the saint Peter basilisk.
@LEILA NABZ you guys should really put the Nile to good use, Egypt has done that for ages, Ethiopia is doing that now. I'm sure electricity in Uganda isn't 24/7 all year round. A small dam would help improve that. War shouldn't be a concern it's all hot air Egypt can't do anything especially not now that they are already in Syria fighting there they can't risk to add war with Ethiopia and Uganda to that list I am also sure Israel will love an excuse to bomb Egypt, so fear not.
@@Biobele but we have unlimited electricity...we produce way more electricity than we supply and still distribute to Kenya Tanzania and Rwanda. I live in muyenga and power never goes off.. most areas in the city in never ever goes only tht power lines and transformers are always vandalized causing disruption... The pple from Jinja where the source of the nile exists have poorly to the highest number failed to utilize the source of the Nile... there's nothing of substance there.. I'm currently stuck in Sweden and it's mind blowing how these Scandinavians know how significant a water body can be to a community.. Like getting munyonyo resort gardens and spreading it all around the country water bodies..
"Europe has 50 countries if you want to set the comment section on fire. Or 51 if you also want to set the comment section on fire." I'm from Serbia and I approve this message.
I mean if you are trying to prove something based on Serbian propaganda then I suggest you dont. Cause wether serbs like it or not Kosovo is de facto a independent state. We have our own borders, our own military and our own currency. To put it simple "saying that kosovo is part of serbia would very foolish" 🇽🇰🇺🇸
I think you describe the Nile backwards. You describe it flowing N to S. It actually flows S to N. So, rather than "splitting" at Khartoum, it converges there and moves "downstream" ... northwards. This is why there is all of the broohaahaa from the new Ethiopian dam, which can strangle the Nile into Sudan and Egypt.
@@umaryusuf537 well, yeah, now, but India is also big only because it had the same population explosion in the past. In fact, Europe also had an insane population explosion, that is why 19th century saw such a high rate of emigration from Europe - the land and jobs there were simply not enough anymore to feed everyone. The Africa is just still starting its demographic transition, but it will go the same route other place have already made
@Red rose kaoto actually, while population is not the biggest problem in Africa, economic inequality, corruption and TNCs are, but still fast growing population is not a benefit for simple people. It creates a situation when economy cannot grow as fast as population, so every person becomes poorer, and also causes a pressure on environment to increase many-fold. And no, larger population won't stop elites from exploiting the poor or TNCs from stealing resources. It never worked this way. The more people, the more cheap labor, which benefits the corporations.
2:06 The equator passes south of mainland Equatorial Guinea. The part of the country in the southern hemisphere is the island of Annobón, south of São Tomé.
I think you forgot about Cabinda, a small part of Angola that is cut off from the rest of it by the DRC and is Angola’s only border with the Republic of the Congo
You missed one major weird geographic phenomena though @KhAnubis- The Great Rift Valley. The convection of the tectonic plates where the Great Lakes have been formed, Lake Victoria, Lake Malawi, Lake Tanganyika and others, is causing the continent to rip apart. In several years in Geological time, the lakes will merge and a Sea will form that may even have connections to the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean. Basically East Africa is slowly being cleaved away, perhaps even becoming a New Continent. This is very visible when you visit the area. An incredible , weird phenomena of geography, the world should know more about. Great work you do with your videos, From a Geography Nerd.
@@noodengr3three825 I think he meant Scotland and Catalunya? Transnistria is not very well-known/nobody cares about it since Moldova itself is already unimportant (I've visited it and crossed Transnistria myself)
As an Alien from Nibiru I'll to say you did a great job of this video I was expecting you will mention the fact that Lesotho is a country actually part South Africa which was Separated as a crown colony in 1884
“... as long as you don’t count the Suez Canal” I never got why continental boundaries count manmade bodies of water as the same as an ocean. I mean Africa is definitely distinct from Asia culturally, but if the Middle East isn’t its own continent for that reason and the concept of a continent is supposed to be geographic not political or cultural then it should surely be Afro-eurasia? America is a continent in some places, and Eurasia in others but nobody uses a 4 continent model and I don’t really get that.
Per my "been" app I have visited 19% of the African countries. Egypt is amazing but so far Morocco has been my favorite. Learned a lot from your video thanks
The two closest capital cities are actually Rome and the Vatican, I believe only 3 sets of countries have capital cities within 100km of each other, though, with the Congos being the only ones outside of Europe. Fun fact: Equatorial Guinea and Denmark are the only countries on earth with more than 50% of their land area on a mainland, but the capital on an island. Another fun fact: South America has both the highest (Angel Falls) and widest (Iguassu Falls) waterfalls on earth. Africa has the 2nd highest (Tugela Falls) and 2nd widest (Victoria Falls).
@@xp8969 Yes, It is. the Vatican is actually a country and a city both. And since the Vatican city is a city - No cities inside it can be found. So the Vatican City is its own capital..
Maybe you can make a video talking about "Technical island" just like you said that technically 1/3 of U.S is anisland through canals and rivers, how about giving some more examples?
Hey :) I like your videos! Would it be possible for you to put your little extra text notes in the videos in a range, where it's not hidden by the RU-vid subtitles (I'm German I often need the English subs for the videos) :)
Europe has fifty countries with many of such countries inhabited by as low as about 30,000 (Lichtenstein) or just 8,000,000 (Austria or Switzerland); while Nigeria alone has about 200,000,000 people
Even stranger is that Africa is not the only continent in all 4 hemispheres. Asia is also in all 4 hemispheres, first Northern hemisphere which is obvious eastern hemisphere also, southern hemisphere in the island of java in Indonesia, but in cape dezhnev Russia aka the easternmost point in the world is actually in the western hemisphere which is 2 continents.
Did you know Nepal would be the 5th largest country if it was in Europe by Area and 4th largest by population? Which blew my mind because I thought Nepal was about the same size as Switzerland.
I know Africa is big. I flew the length of it from Durbin S Africa to Dubai then Dubai to Dakar which is the width of Africa plus Saudi Arabia. It was a very long travel day
Azores has 3 of its 9 islands in Africa too. Malta and a portion of Sicily are also part of Africa geologically. According to the United Nations geoscheme, Africa has 54 countries, Asia has 48 countries, Europe has 44 countries, North America has 23 countries, Oceania has 16 countries, and South America has 12 countries. If we include de facto states and double count the transcontinental countries, then Africa has 63 countries, Asia has 57 countries, Europe has 52 countries, North America has 32 countries, Oceania has 25 countries, and South America has 15 countries. Fun fact: I ranked these continents by number of countries, but they also followed the alphabetical order. 😁
That is how the impact of other countries political and economic struggles can impact a whole continent. The practical evidence of the impact of British, French, Portuguese and Belgium colonial legacies. Great video.
Nice video but would be a bit better if * we could see where the cities and country borders actually are * the description of the Nile wasn't confusing about the flow direction
U got the nile inverted .. it starts from the south and splits in the delta north of egypt .. the white and blue niles form the nile and it flows ffrom the south not drain there
I guess it isn't necessarily considered geography, but, I had kinda thought that you'd include the three different national capitals of South Africa. That I know of, they're the only nation in the world with three separate capitals, separated by each of the three branches of government. It's weird. One capital city is the capital of South Africa's Judicial branch of government, another is the capital of the Executive branch of their government and the other is the capital of their Legislative branch of the government. Why? Who the hell knows, but it really seems inefficient and illogical.
One could argue that the Vatican City doesn't have a capital city since it is a city state. There is a paragraph about it on this wiki page: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_city
