▶ In this video I talk about the only country in the world that has no territory: the Sovereign Military Order of Malta, previously known as the Knights Hospitaller. The Order was first established when Italian merchants set up a hospital in, at the time, Muslim-ruled Jerusalem. With the conquest of the Holy City by Europeans - through the First Crusade - the Hospitallers gained an increased role in acting as Knights for the protection of the city, thus adding a military element to their previous one. When Jerusalem fell, they withdrew into Cyprus, but found no way of truly establishing themselves there, therefore beginning to plan a conquest of the famous island of Rhodes. They succeeded in doing so, and it was at this moment that they saw their official establishment as a country 'per se', with the constant support of the Papacy since its establishment. Eventually Rhodes fell to an Ottoman invasion, and the Knights were forced to seek exile in Sicily, at the time ruled by the Spanish Crown. When this happened, the Pope happened to be a member of the Order itself, and so he negotiated with the Spanish king the acquisition of the nearby island of Malta for the Order, who would exist as a Spanish tributary state, altough mostly symbolically. As the Order established itself in Malta, the Ottomans rushed to attack them again, but they were successful in their defense this time and achieved a historical and magnificent victory that begun a golden age in their rule, culminating with an attempt to establish their own colonial empire in the Caribbean, by acquiring some islands off of France. Eventually they began losing influence throughout Europe - first due to the Protestant Reformation, which caused them to lose their properties and respective income in Britain. And then through the French Revolution that caused the same in France. Soon after, Napoleon - another product of the Revolution - invaded Malta on the way to his Egyptian Campaign. And the Knights were forced to surrender and seek exhile in Saint Petersburg. The order disbanded throughout most of Europe, concentrating in Russia - who took the biggest role in financing it and won great influence within it (even seeing Tsar Paul I become Grand-Master). For whatever reason, Sweden offered their island of Gotland to the Knights in exchange for them renouncing their claim on Malta (perhaps to help France), but the Order refused. Eventually they were forced to give up this claim anyway, and so they found themselves without any territory of their own; eventually returning to Italy where Papal protection was renewed, and moving into their old Roman Embassy which now comprises the full extent of their land, effectively being a country with no territory.

Some of these stories are getting it backwards, for example with the Caribbean Islands "the order" did not get them because of its influence in France. They got them because de Poincy was, besides a hospitaller, still also a French nobleman who also worked for France. He worked in the French navy, his older brother was in the service of the king's younger brother, and other members of their family were part of the colonial administration of Canada. De Poincy was sent to the Caribbean in the service of France, it's only that once he arrived he decided he wanted to start acting like he didn't have any obligations to the king and when a replacement was sent he rebelled. It was only years after his appointment that the order got involved and de Poincy had to convince them to pay for the colonies so that he could continue to rule. The order then also tried to replace him as governor but he rebelled again. The order never had any real interest in the Caribbean which is why they sold it back the second he died.

What a fascinating history, I've read quite a few about the SMOM and its curious, peculiar and specific situation, and still find difficult to truly understand how this entity exists and works, thanks btw to the video that really helps to understand some of the details. As I understand, correct me if I'm wrong, or further explanations are very welcome on this topic, the SMOM would be some sort of warring party at the very beginning of its foundation, and what in another place and situation would become the ruling elite of a country, they had the ability to maintain an integrity and remain after different wars, though loosing their possessions (which in other contexts would lead to the disappearance or disbanding of such aforementioned elites), they survived becoming some sort of semi-nomadic small and compact society... 🤔

You can't blame the Maltese for not liking that a bunch of European aristocratics lorded it over them in a feudal manner for 250 years; the Napoleonic code was better. Old Bony looted the Order's accumulated treasures to fund his campaigns. In 1998, the independent Maltese government handed over the upper part of Fort St. Angelo in Birgu, a citadel at the entrance of the Grand Harbour which was the order's HQ during the Great Seige. So they have a toe-hold there today.

Much like the Holy See, they're considered a "sovereign subject of international law". They aren't, strictly speaking, a country, but they possess sovereignty. In strict Westphalian terms they're sovereign because they're recognized as sovereign, but ultimately they predate the Treaty of Westphalia by 400 years or so.

Technically the requirement isn't land but recognition from other countries. You can hold land without being a country and you can be a country without holding land. What matters is how many countries that recognize your existence.

Please don't take this as a criticism. It's just a tiny matter of English pronunciation for two words. Hospitalier is one of those English words that has survived as a mongrel mix of Freench and English from medieval times. Like the word 'hotelier', hospitalier is pronounced 'hospital-ee-err' with the French inflection on the end. It's a specific pronunciation for all the various orders of knights hospitalier in England (not that there are many of them. The other word is 'beatitude'. Just to confuse foreigners, it's pronounced 'bee-attitude'. Again, this isn't a criticism. Your English is better than at least 85 per cent of the inhabitants of the UK and your accent is only slight, but utterly dreamy to English ears. Apart from that nit-picking, this was fascinating - it was a subject I'd never considered before. Thank you so much for making this video. I'm ending the week knowing a lot more than I did yesterday. Thank you again so much.

@@kellymcbright5456 The Grand Master of the Hospitaliers has traditionally been elected. That's how they were able to elect an Orthodox Tzar which the Pope didn't like. Now certainly the grand master of the hospitaliers isn't always elected and sometimes appointed by the Pope. The restoration of the office of grand order was done by appointment and since then some have been appointed and some have been elected. So in summary, the Pope sometimes appoints the leader and the leader is sometimes elected so I guess it is more control than the King of England has over Canada but still not exactly the leader completely under the control of the Pope.
