FINISH THE SENTENCE

Noah And now, 10 minutes later it is over 500

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyy I get that reference.

Accurate portrayal of Britain 1783, US 1973 and USSR 1989

I like the OverSimplified reference, good one!

US in Vietnam

WE WERE ON A BREAK!!!

Welcome to HAI, enjoy your stay

No this video was "Texas had a legation in the US back when it was still a sovereign country but I'm going to call it an Embassy because no one knows what a legation is"

No, there's also a Skill Share Ad.

Yeah right? I thought Texas still had an embassy in D.C. today for some strange historical reason...

It’s half interesting ain’t it

Noice

Lol

The American government in a nutshell

The us just ripped off the Spanish and British with that

umop apIsdn Why can’t these countries be creative🤦🏽‍♂️ so unoriginal😂

@@KanyeTheGayFish69 Britain just removed them because they were trespassing on British territories. So natives had to go to somewhere that British people wouldn't like, such as Nevada or New Mexico. Natives should have asked Britain for permission :-]]]

@@brazeiar9672 that joke will not age well

@Lenny Mill America itself will not age well.

The slogan could be: "If you're looking for a brick that's fancier than it is strong, the Legation Brick is just right for you!"

Still waiting for the brick video...

i visited there a few months ago and i have to say the view of the capitol is astonishing

55 Days in Austin (iykyk)

Wait is this fr?

@@samgibson7218 Yes, sort of. As a Texican ('cuz I'm a Texi-can, not a Texi-can't!) who lived in the UK for 15 years on active military service and is married to a lovely English rose, I can tell you that I have had many a, well, uh, hmm...mediocre TexMex meal at the Texas Embassy in London. Yes, there was a Texas Embassy in the UK. No, the restaurant that is now the Texas Embassy is not in the actual building that the real one was. But, whatchagonna do? It's as close as you are going to get without putting the brisket on the bbq at 5am yourself. ;-)

What’s the name of it?

@@eliasmaier6988 See comment above yours.

TexMex is Jesus.

Legations are likewise the people of a diplomatic mission, but ranked as second-rate compared to embassies which originally would only be sent between major kingdoms. The rise of the US and France as republic great powers broke down this hierarchy over the next century. The last legation to exist was the Swedish one to South Africa, who had suspended their diplomatic developments to ZA in protest of apartheid until that broke down in 1994.

They made a new wall for you to climb on. Very nice of them I think. Mexicans look like good climbers ;)

Well, the USA military has advanced since those days

@@wigglebot2368 Literally even the Somalian military has advanced since then you plank.

I hope..... Please

I am the other type of Irish man and can confirm the undesirables have behaved for at least a year!

2020.. Still seven months to go, juste wait.

@@manhoosnick Well Ireland (South) is neutral and has been since independence. Ireland has a military but it's mostly just infantry troops, a navy more like the US coastguard with just patrol ships no missiles, and an air force with just some helicopters and transports. Air defence is done by the UK. In practice Ireland only maintains an army so it can contribute to peacekeeping operations overseas with the UN.

Michael Kidd I’m the other type of Irishman again, and I say in the words of the late Rev. Paisley “ I say if they don’t behave themselves in the south, there will be shots across the border” Edit: I’m only sleggin, I suppose from the outside some may see it as a type of proxy war, with the free state providing sanctuary for provos to run across the border after attacks, and loyalist incursions into Monaghan and of course the Glenanne gangs bombings of Monaghan and Dublin, and the supposed involvement of British intelligence with the Mid Ulster UVF(Glenanne gang) also the very real likelihood there was of a potential conflict of the IRA and Carson’s UVF over home rule, but then of course it was all Ireland at that stage before partition.

Texas: Aight

Didn't Texas ask to be annexed?

Well Texas had oil so of course we wanted it!

@Timothy Two well Alaska was bought so 2 states that weren't annexed

The part about Mexico taking the time off. It seems many times Mexico once again took the time to concentrate on Texas that things did not go the way the Texans would have liked. If Texas had not become a US state more then likely Mexico would have taken control once again. In the end, the US more then likely knew Texas would become a state. After all, it was full of US citizens that had settled there for the free land.

Amazing TV series. The remake was awful

@@tezzingtonsir28 Well, the original series was not that great either. But the original mini-series(es?) were pretty good.

@@frankswarbrick7562 I was quite young and it made an impact on me. I remember the TV series. Not sure I know the mini series or vice versa. It was very visceral for my tiny little mind. The mice eating and all.

i would watch that

Someone please tag Andrew Rea

LMAO

*_"tHeY DiDn'T HaVe a CoUnTrY" - some american_*

The Mexican government handed out land grants for free to use the settlers as a literal meat sheild from the native Americans in the plains, because the Mexican army was unable to prevent tribes like the Comanche who were experts at horseback warfare, from going and progressing farther down into Mexico were they would torture kill and rape homesteads to expel people. Super interesting stuff that's highly documented that some politicians deemed not necessary to be apart of schools curriculum.

I mean the us ripped off Great Britain with that

​@@KanyeTheGayFish69Which Great Britain in turn ripped off from Spain and Portugal. And Spain and Portugal stole their ideas from the Arabs, the Romans, and the Phoenicians among othersm

It also looks way too similar to the Liberian flag 🇱🇷

@@k-isfor-kristina The Liberian flag was not adopted and did not exist until late 1847.

So just interesting?

@@BeastinlosersHD yes. They should change the channel name to "interesting"

It's called Half As Interesting because it's the normal amount of interesting but it's half as long

Bilingual joke O_O

Why is the USA called EEUU??? It's called the Estados Unidos, not the Estados Estados Unidos Unidos. Edit: I looked it up. The doubling of the Es and Us makes it into a plural. That is possibly the maddest stuff I've ever heard. Unbelievable

Juicy Boi, Spanish abbreviations do work that way. In French the US is just EU. Also in French the EU is UE. Fun with Romance languages!

Actually it was the California goldrush discovered in 49. Nobody cared about oil.

@@OHYS also because Mexico's full name (translated from Spanish to English) is "The United Mexican States", and the initials in Spanish are EUM. Easier to do "EEUU" to distinguish the USA than EUM and EUA I guess.

Mexico: Still has slaves

I mean Mexico didn't really care, it made them money

@Angel Navarro it was more the Mexican government wanted to commit Genicide on all of the Texans

@Angel Navarro that's the next war; we are talking the first war Texas had.

Angel Navarro Why else would they revolt.

Ghostlurker What?

James K. Polk was a great President

@@bumface8350 No he wasn't. Polk was a terrible president who waged war at his pleasure and sacrificed American lives for the sake of manifest destiny.

@@dj13dj_official Just like FDR when he sacrificed American lives at Pearl Harbor. 😁

Why is hai so savage.

While it originally was the naval flag, it became the de facto national flag between 1835 and 1839.

The US Senate was intended to serve that role, but ever since the adoption of the 17th Amendment to the US Constitution (direct election of US senators), it has largely lost that role.

I suppose because the Allies wanted strong state governments and a weak central government. That's what our Founding Fathers originally wanted.

Yeah you're right, the troubles are not something to be made fun of.

@@wigglebot2368 how dare you watch this with an arizona flag

So basically Yexas broke up with Mexico by text, but then at school the next day Mexico showed up and pretended it hadn't read the text. Smh.

Ik this is a year late, but the answer is no. You have to be a naturalized citizen in order to run for president, and the US determines that as someone who was born on US soil. Since it wasn’t US soil at the time of birth, then it wasn’t US soil period. Not an expert btw but I’m pretty sure I’m right

@@BlueEsplosion Was George Washington born on US soil?

@@AaronInCincy that’s different though because the citizens and laws at the time were obviously biased

Goldwater was born in Arizona Territory. McCain was born in the Canal Zone.

Ireland has never went to war with the North. There was sectarian violence but that was within Northern Ireland, not a war between countries.

Funnier fact: some federations have representatives and envoys present in their capital, these representatives are real and able to make binding decisions. For instance, there is a bunch of “plenipotentiary representative offices” in Moscow. For federal republics mostly. Even funnier fact: It does work in both ways, meaning that federal center can have its representatives in the capital cities of its subjects.
