2:12 That can cause confusion. The Roman Empire didn't fall from all sides until Rome fell. It lost the Western part (and even regained a lot for some time) and the remained a strong empire surviving for almost a millennium.
The Byzantines were technically still part of the Roman empire and they collapsed in 1453 with the fall of Constantinople. The Romans have been around forever.... Pretty impressive actually.
Fun side note, this is the first video I've done in which I did NOT write the script. I have never said "O.G" before. Anyway hope you enjoy this animation made by our favorite Dutchman VINCENT! Check out his other animations at mode-7.com
You forgot elected boarders like the current boarder between Denmark and Germany. The people living in the boarder area were asked if they felt Danish or German. And then the boarder was made following the people's answers.
You're welcome. After a series of wars, and boarder changes, the nations just decided to let the people choose between the two. As a dane thus is just basic history education.
The german state "Saarland" was french territory after ww2 as far as I know and then got added to germany again in 1957 trough a vote, because the majority was german.
Amazing collaboration ! I am following Geography now for some reasonable time now, I never expected the video to be in this innovative way ! Looking for more videos like this in future !
You forgot about post-glacial rebound. Finland gets over 1 square kilometer of land every year because the land is rising. May not sound like much but it adds up overtime.
katten elvis coming from a small country that is Croatia, we get really proud when our coutry is mentioned in something that is not mainly filmed for the sole purpose of talking about our state. So, i belive he watched the video about croatia several times, and showed it to everyone around him
Was happy to see Kaliningrad, my hometown, up until it was shown as a decaying dump. It's not that bad, you are welcome to see for yourself during the World Cup next year :)
But it was much more beautiful before the World War 2 and had no soviet style buildings in the city center. but I agree that factory in animation was exaggeration.
Kosta M. right now since we got funding for the World Cup, some buildings are renovated and actually look very nice. But yeah, it's a shame a lot of beautiful places, especially the King's castle, were bombed to nothing
I'm pretty sure it's called the Netherlands because it's simply the delta region of a couple rivers. Aka it's the lowest region in Northern Europe. Not necessarily because it's below sea level. A lot of Northern Germany is also "Netherlands" in that way, which is actually reflected in names like "Niedersachsen" = "Lower Saxony" and the German spoken in those regions being "Low German".
I live like 2 kilometers from there in canada, and visit it fairly regularly for the nice parks and trails and cheap gas (vs vancouver). Visiting there is a strange experience of feeling far away from the city, yet being very close. It's a unique spot. Still (somehow) very rural though.
It does feel distinctly american though. Lots of weird little trivia about how the only school on the island is K-4, older grade students have to bus to blaine (via canada) for school, and how their services are shared with canada except the providers are referred to by different names (telephone for example) so that it doesn't break the rule requiring american residents to have american services. They do have a volunteer fire dept of their own.
Wow. This was a great and interesting video, Barby. The amount of work you put into these things is always staggering and I've got to give props to your editor. Great job, guys! :D
This was awesome! the animation couple with your explanations was super informative and easy to follow, would love to see more videos like this every so often :)
@@florisk.ios.6416 to me, it isn't rare to see a verified channel with not a lot of likes, once I replied to Just Some Guy Without A Moustache (if I recall correctly) and he had just over 10 likes.
Deadass I immediately stopped what I was doing (reading a fanfic lol) as soon as I got the notification because this channel is my favorite and I watch every single video
You should do more of these "theoretical geography" videos, they are really well made. Even though I already knew everything you explained I found it really interesting and well made!
Bonus: "poldering (to polder)" is a Dutch form of decision making, where absolutely every stakeholder in a situation must be heard, often leading to an unsatisfying solution for everyone. For example splitting a cookie into twenty-five parts, a few crumbs for every kid in the room.
What a fantastic video. The art-style is so terrifically charming. The calm jazz for the background music was a very appropriate choice. And the script was very informative with a little comedy scattered about.
Key word: ideal. While I definitely appreciate the sentiment and support the dream, I believe our species as a whole currently isn't ready for unification. We'll probably get there eventually, but I suspect most--maybe even all--of the people posting here today will be dead long before it happens.
