@global.things There are way more corrections you have to make, for example even simple things like the colours of the german flag you got wrong - it's not black red yellow, it's black red gold!!
Actually, the third colour on the German tricolour is "gold". That's due to the Lützow Free Corp, a German regiment (mostly composed of students) which fought against France in the Napoleonic Wars. They wore black uniforms with red trims and gold plated buttons. Their fraternity also arose from a wish to unify the independent German states, poetically expressed in the slogan "From the *blackness* of servitude, through *bloody* battles, to the *golden* light of freedom."
@@jan_noah According to our constitution, The Basic Law ("das Grundgesetz" in German), the official tricolour is "schwarz, rot und gold" (black, red, and gold). The golden part is only depicted as yellow due to economic reasons, plus yellow is gold and white is silver under European norms of heraldry which used to govern how crests and flags were composed. (Not so fun) fact: Among German right wing extremists, "black, red, and mustard" is a dog whistle for the intention to (illegally) restore the German monarchy, so we take the official colours, including *gold* , very seriously in Germany.
@@jan_noah Du hast bedingt recht. Das Grundgesetz ist “de jure”nicht unsere Verfassung/Constitution, jedoch übernimmt sie jegliche Verantwortung und Aufgaben einer Verfassung ist somit “de facto” unsere Verfassung. Der historische Hintergrund ist die Teilung von Ost und West. Im West deutschen Staat trat das Grundgesetz als Übergangs Lösung in Kraft. Denn, eine Verfassung kann nur ein “richtiges” Land haben und das war es ja noch nicht, da Deutschland ja noch geteilt war. Man befürchtete, dass durch das verwenden einen Verfassung man politisch den Anspruch auf den Osten Deutschland verlieren würde (wo btw. Auch die jetzigen polnisch/russische Gebiete dazu zählten). Nach der wieder vereinigen jedoch, obwohl das Grundgesetz dieses selber festgelegt hatte, wurde jedoch sie nicht durch eine Verfassung ersetzt. Grunde gibt es hier viele, zwei davon sind: 1. Kosten und Aufwand - lohnt sich einfach nicht, da es ihm Grunde kein Unterschied macht… 2. Bei einer Verfassung müsste diese durch ein Volksentscheid beschlossen werden, jedoch wollte man die Ostdeutsche Bevölkerung in die Demokratie intergrieren, bevor man diese über eine neue demokratische Verfassung entscheiden lässt. Jedoch ist dies a.) Nicht wirklich passiert b.) Die politische Stabilität über einen solchen Prozess diskutieren zu können war nie da, da wie man selber merkt alle paar Jahre immer wieder neue Krisen bzw. Wichtige Themen anstehen, die solche Verhandlungen stören würden.
Hello, I am 17 years old. Let me explain to you some points. Palestine is an Arab country in origin. In the past, in 1919, there was a war and Palestine became the destination of all Jews. But when they became numerous in number in Palestine, a group of them was found called the Zionists, which is the corrupt and racist group of Jews. They wanted to make Palestine their country and expel all the Arabs from it, calling it “Israel.” These dreams of the Zionists continued until 1948, when a war broke out between the Arab countries and the Zionists. Unfortunately, the Arabs lost the battle, and then Israel became a bitter reality and is the most criminal country. It does not know what is great or what is small. All it cares about is making all of the Arab lands it can for itself. To achieve that goal, it committed humanitarian massacres, expelled millions of families from their homes, and imprisoned children, women, and the elderly, in addition to young people who spent decades in prisons for dozens of years, with the use of the utmost forms. Unlawful torture, neither legal nor humane, was the fate of everyone who said no to the Zionists to perish, and this Palestinian resistance called “Hamas or the Al-Aqsa Flood” is a natural reaction to those brutal acts and the usurpation of their land. However, Israel did not stop the brutal acts and is now imposing a siege. On the Gaza Strip, which contains 2 million people, this siege includes preventing access to water, electricity, internet, or food to the people of Gaza, and preventing the arrival of any humanitarian aid from any country, in addition to the continuous bombing by Israeli aircraft. After everything you do, you play the victim to gain the sympathy of society. The European who does not know the truth of the matter and uses all means to prevent the arrival of this truth, please review your beliefs after what you have read now and you can be sure of what I said.
Ich möchte kein Wasser in den Wein schütten, aber die angebliche Freundschaft gab es nur für einige Jahrzehnte nach dem Krieg, weil Deutschland aus ökonomischen Gründen gezwungen war, sich dem Westen, insbesondere den USA, anzuschließen. Deutsche Diplomaten kommunizieren seit einigen Jahren in erstaunlicher Offenheit, dass diese Freundschaft nie ernst gemeint war. Die französischen Diplomaten, die seit Jahrhunderten freundlich tun aber im Hintergrund schon die eigenen Schläge vorbereiten, sehen das sicher ähnlich (siehe 4 Kriege in den letzten 220 Jahren unter maßgeblicher Beteiligung Frankreichs). Echte Freundschaft gab es hingegen schon immer nur zwischen Deutschland und anderen germanischsprachigen Staaten (Niederlande, Dänemark, Schweden etc.). Vermutlich ist das bei Frankreich so mit anderen romanischsprachigen Ländern wie Spanien oder Italien, falls die Franzosen es sich nicht sogar mit ihren eigenen Verwandten verdorben haben.
@@pommes0078 This is bullshit. I live at the french border and no one here has something against France. We have better thing to worry about then some stupid historical rivalries.
Nice video bro, As a French, I see that you're doing a great job, like you (I guess), I love Geopolitical science and countries comparison. Keep it up !
issue is that even the teacher didn't named the town correctly XD ( and no, i don't refer to the accent, but to the fact that he sais "Paris" while pronoucing the S, which is a mistake )
Here's the background behind why Bremen is so small and has two sections: When the Holy Roman Empire was dissolved in 1806, what had been since 1646 (after earlier privileges of autonomy of 1186) the Free Imperial City of Bremen was not mediatized. Rather being incorporated into the enlarged territory of one of the surrounding monarchies, it was recognized (along with Hamburg) as a sovereign Free Hanseatic City. In 1811, in an effort to enforce Napoleon's Berlin Decree embargoing Britain, the First French Empire had annexed the city-state, but at the Congress of Vienna of 1815, Johann Smidt lobbied successfully to have the city's independence restored as one of the 39 sovereign states within the then new German Confederation. In 1827, Bremen bought land at the mouth of the Weser from the Kingdom of Hanover, in order to build a new seaport, Bremerhaven. This ensured that Bremen remained Germany's main port of embarkation for emigrants to the Americas, and that it developed as an entrepôt for Germany's late developing colonial trade. After the Germans surrendered in WWII, Bremen became a US-controlled enclave surrounded by the British occupation zone. The reason the Americans wanted Bremen and Bremerhaven is because they needed a support point with a harbor, to allow the unhindered support of US forces in the American occupation zone in southern Germany.
The third stripe on the german flag is not yellow, its golden. Its just allowed to print it yellow because printing stuff golden is kind of a struggle. But in its supposed to be a golden stripe.
I’m German and few months ago I visited France. This country is truly awesome for so many reasons ! I hope find a work in the city near the sea like Nice, Marseille ou Montpellier for moving definitely on this country. (Also this country had one of the best health insurance made by a country in the whole world)
Well, don't listen to them, they try to scare you, French people are known to complain a lot about their own country haha If you like it, try it, it will be worth the travel. French are absolutely not mean in general and it's always great to live around there, only those who didn't travel around the world don't know about the luck they have to live in France or in Europe in general Also, never had any problem with French emergencies and they always took good care of my foreign wife or myself, but it is true that you have to be patient for "less urgent stuff"
@@familyandfriends3519 I know about Vichy but nothing about Vincy, also my ancestors were in the résistance, so stop making assumptions about people on the internet
@@Hero-Gandalf Allow me to correct you. The Blue Colbat was established by Valérie Giscard d'Estaing by 1975 til 2022 that match with EU flag 🇲🇫🇪🇺 But President Marcron wanted to change it whatever the reason to it's original shade from the French Revolution 1792. Dark Blue, White and Bloody Red
It's not realy fair comparing French and German cities' population within the city limits as France and Germany have a very different way of defining city limits (they are in general way smaller in France. One should compare metropolitan areas. Then one thing you can notice is that France is really centralized. Our second city, Lyon, has about 2.3 million residents (I have a doubt on this figure as I've always seen something like 1.5 M). Our first, Paris, about 11 million. 1/6 French person live in Paris. In Germany it's 4.7 M for Berlin, then 1.8 M for Hamburg.
@@derhobbit5277 It's not really about that, he just meant that the administrative limits are small, but it has nothing to do with the actual size of the urban area. The urban area is what people generally associate with the actual size of a city, and in France there's a particular disconnection between the size of the administrative limits and the urban areas. That's just a cultural habit I guess. It doesn't mean the city is smaller or bigger, it just means what the mayor controls is smaller.
@@Luca-hb5xs This depends on the definition used (urban vs metropolitan area). One (involving the continuously built up area) is more restrictive than the other (involving the portion of the population working in one central built up area if I'm not mistaken). Using one definition the Rhine-Ruhr area is one element, using another it's several cities. I've never been there nor did I do deep research about this particular area.
That call you used for the eagle...is the call of a red-tailed hawk. Hollywood always uses that for the bald eagle because they don't actually sound that menacing. Officially the French Fifth Republic doesn't have a national emblem according to its current constitution besides the tricolor flag (the coat of arms used on French passports is the diplomatic emblem of France and is unofficial), so the rooster isn't its official national animal but it's still important to the French people. Here's why: The Gallic Rooster decorated French flags during the Revolution. It represents the French people because of the play on words of the Latin gallus meaning Gaul and gallus meaning rooster. The rooster has been used as an ornament on church bell towers in France since the early Middle Ages, but at that time it was probably used to symbolize vigilance as roosters are known to crow at the expectation of the sunrise. The Gallic Rooster has been used for centuries by folk artists as a decorative motif on ceramics or carved and veneered wooden furniture. The rooster played an important role as the revolutionary symbol, but it would become an official symbol under the July Monarchy and the Second Republic when it was seen on the pole of regiments’ flags. In 1830, the Gallic Rooster replaced the fleur-de-lis as the national emblem, and it was again discarded by Napoleon III.
Amazing video ! Just to clarify : Squeezie is the most followed youtuber (who makes viedos on youtube his first job) but Dj Snake with 24.2 M and David Guetta with around 26 M are the frenchs with the most subscribers on youtube. (Pardon my english, I am french)
It always bothers me to see all those French people complaining about foreigners pronunciation of French names. Their pronunciation of foreign names is not better and they know it.
The German flag’s third stripe might look yellow, but believe me, it is actually golden. Just do not question that. The last ones who insisted on calling it yellow left unpleasant memories. Great video though!
Glad to know I'm worth five of your German viewers, quality over quantity huhuhuhu But really speaking, that was a great video, informative and all. Loved your rendition of the Eiffel Tower, 10/10 would visit again.
@@ben.f1547en vrai les régions en France c'est pas fait.pour être comparé comme ça. La France elle même a une division administrative très particulière et certains territoires n'ont même pas de région comme la corse.
París cayó en 48 días ante los alemanes. Berlín cayó en 8 días ante los franceses. Te recuerdo que los propios alemanes elogiaron la valentía y el corage francés en la SGM. Ah, se me olvidaba. Francia es la nación con el mayor número de victorias a nivel histórico.
German people are 4 times more represented than French on your RU-vid channel. Now I understand why your last poll gave Germany as a winner ahead with 80% vs France with 20% 😅
Modern Germany's establishment is a very debatable topic, many people say Germany began with the German Empire, Many say it started with the Weimar Republic, German Confederation, the Holy Roman Empire of German Nation, etc.
France is a countryside nation at heart, and as a result, we have about 34.000 localities (cities and villages), far more than any other western nation (just googled it: germany 11.000, UK 10.000, Italy 8.000, Spain 8.000, USA 20.000). Which also means that we have a load of villages with hilarious names.
that's just because of bad administration. In France there are plenty of villages that are nearlly empty. In Spain this small towns have been anexed to make burocracy and servicies more easy.
@@arnaul_de_lapras5853 Indeed, they have tried but faileed to reduce the number of village. But still, the point stands, plenty of names, plenty of fun
There is too many villages (communes) in France, what's the point of having a mayor for 100 people and then 5 kilometres later again another mayor for 100 people. Also, the countryside is dying, all the young people are going to Paris, Lille, Lyon, Montpellier, Toulouse, Bordeaux, Strasbourg... The countryside will be empty in a few generations.
@@jazz96765I mean we try to create "interco" or intercommunalité but there not much benefit to it those village don't need other village to work. But we still manage to create a lot of EPCI and syndicate but many were in cities.
I'm very proud of our grandmothers and grandfathers and so gratefull to them. They turned this heriditary emnity with so many wars into a real french german friendship. I wish that other countries in the world could follow this example.
7:01 that is so cap, whenever I am in France I struggle so hard to find anyone being able to speak english at all. Meanwhile in Germany almost everybody can speak it alright and many speak it well.
Many of the English speakers are not fluent, but they can converse to some extent! English is taught in schools so many people know at least enough to communicate with basic phrases.
There's a complex about our accent in France, and a cultural habit of making fun of those (including amongst us french people) that speak a language badly, without real mastery and with a weird accent. The result is that, average french people that can understand you, are often a bit afraid of trying to actually speak/reply. They assume they can't and shouldn't try.
People speaking Germanic languages struggle less with English than people speaking Latin languages. So yeah, there are definitely more English speakers in Germany than in France. This being said, German speakers are also certainly the less fluent in English among Germanic languages speakers (comparing to Scandinavia, the Netherlands or Flemish Belgium). Very certainly that comes from the fact there are about 100 million German speakers in Europe and as such a stronger cultural industry in that language than in less spoken ones. Spain also has the same problem as Spanish is a global language and as such there are less incentives to learn English in order to have access to global contents.
Modern Germany was founded at 1/11871, the current republic was established in 1949. The Kingdom of Germany was established in 919 with Henry I, the first King of Germany and with his son Otto I, founder of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation (HRE)
