The midwest and Florida actually don't have most people living in a few huge cities, they're mostly living in cities that are below 250k population but above like 50k.
It's actually confirmed that there was a city called troy on the western-northern coast of anatolia and that It was destroyed by greeks from the other side of the aegean sea, but we don't have many details.
yea, we tend to forget, that the civilization we call ''ancient greece'' also had a previous civilazation they considered to be the ''ancient greece'' with some 400 years of dark ages between them not even the written language of the ancient ancient greece survived
@@matheussanthiago9685 Yeah, the greeks from the bronze age used a completely different writing system and had a different culture, because the greek from V century BC onwards came to these lands from near north.
@@infernalstan886 They didn't migrated. It is just a myth. Only the Dorians(Sparta) said they came from north Greece. Writing system, Linear B was based on the Minoan system Linear A ( From Crete). The Greeks from Iron age copied the phoenincian alphabet, it was not a new people since the phoenincians did immigrated to Greece.
I don’t know what Germany, UK or Switzerland did to gain the preferential treatment from Japan, but Mexico was the first country that signed an equal treaty with Japan after the Meji restoration, that is also why the mexican embassy has a place of honor in Japan
I mean there's Clovis the chad and then everyone else is slowly eating each other up as the kingdom is slowly more and more divided due to inheritance. (I know this is a massive generalization). I guess it is kinda similare to GoT in that sense
I've lived in France. People there eat healthy in general, but they also think obesity is gross. They can be pretty harsh on obese people, so most of them are obsessed with their weight (at least in Paris where I've lived). I went to college with a girl who'd have SOUP for lunch everyday. I'm sure she starved to stay skinny, I've never undertood that.
@@ararune3734 Lunch is usually, yk, a heavy meal to keep yourself full til' dinner. Soup isnt the most filling dish, thats why its served with bread, a salad, rice, etc
4:15 Actually the first time a country with a McDonald's invaded another was the US with Panama in 1989. Panama had gotten a few a few years before. So the "Golden Arches Peace Theory" had no claim as it was broken before it was made in 1990
It was also further "broken" when Israel invaded and occupied Lebanon from 1985-2000, Israel had its first McDonald's in 1993 while Lebanon got theirs in 1998, while technically the war started before either got theirs, since both got setup while it was ongoing and before its conclusion, so I think it still counts.
China just holds a lot of US dollars in reserve which people often act like it means China holds a lot of American debt but that's really not how it works. Most of the US debt is owned by the US government itself weirdly enough.
That is so patently untrue and not the reason why that it's actually impressive. Like yes there is more poverty, but do you seriously think that there are more poor people in France compared to say America or any other country ? No, one of the reason is that somewhat healthy food is affordable and people tend to walk more often if only to do their groceries. And we are not the only country that does this but there are a lot of factors to consider and I don't know them all but the one you mentioned while pertinent in some cases is not when talking about France.
@@Decamix300 Because it was an absurd joke: of course it is untrue. Even if a country becomes poorer, it doesn't go on a state of Starvation right away, but Malnutrition first. Usually, healthy food become too expensive (either economy goes down or regulation are low), so people end up eating the unhealthy cheaper product that are full salt, fat and sugar. But cannot improve their alimentation without making huge sacrifice. Basically, when a country become poorer: it get fatter. France getting less fat could be a sign of better economy (or least worst?), or better agricultural practice, or huge regulation, or something else (less afraid to fat shame people as French / Dutch are frank like nobody ask). I don't know much about French practice to really tell. The absurdity it saying the country starves when the ex-starving countries are getting fatter: it doesn't make sense. That's why it was funny.
In the US, the poorer someone is, the more likely they are to be obese. Healthy food is more expensive than junk food, and people who are struggling to make ends meet are very busy and don't always have the time to cook healthy meals.
Troy was definitely real, the ruins are a moderately popular tourist destination in Turkey. Its history was documented by both the Greeks and by the Hittites (the cultural/ethnic group that the Trojans were part of, though they were mostly independent from the Hittite Empire). Troy was destroyed and rebuilt multiple times throughout history (at least 3 times before it was conquered by the Greeks as described in the Iliad, then destroyed again by the Romans about 1200 years later after having been rebuilt by the Greeks, then rebuilt again and destroyed by an earthquake about 500 more years after that).
In defence of 300 and Bravehearth. Both films starts (especially 300 which tries to grind this point home) that they are stories told by unreliable narrator and they are basically propaganda pieces for the "good guys". While Bravehearth, even as a Scottish propaganda, has a lot of historical inaccuracies that would not be told by people from that era, but 300 is almost perfect, because it is written exactly in a way how Ancient Greeks would told stories about their victory over the Persians.
*Real* poor people don't have money 💰 for fast food restaurants and either cook themselves, or get preprepared/mostly preprepared meals from grocery stores or food banks.
😂😂😂 Nah bro when i clicked to see the time on my laptop, his face went under a video and on the top of the thumbnail it said "he thinks he's him" lol😂😂😂
Debt is funny because it's literally just a status symbol. Like the US is in deeper than deep yet still so highly valued. It is a pale imitation of what debt genuinely is, or ig was
There WAS a city called Troy. However it was a period when "archaeology" viewed dynamite as acceptable tool when it was found so, yeah... some brit(if I recall right) had "talibanned" the remains of Troy😅
Bro what the hell are you talking "we are not sure if there was place called troy" we have quite many proofs of it existing and being burned down like in the story we even have ruins in turkey
Ireland is a tax haven wish is why Ireland has such a high GDP, Germany loses 20 % of their taxes from companies on this practice and I don’t know why they are allowing tax havens to get away with it, it’s not like countries like that even have a real military 🤷♂️ just make them seem the light of behaving not so nasty that someone gets tired of your behavior
Most of that debt is from countries being trapped by China's 'Belt and Road' initiative. This is why the people in Sri Lanka revolted and literally stormed the palace. (No, seriously, there was plenty of mention made about video of people just swimming in the decorative pools.)
8:20 Funny, my German home state of NRW would place 2nd on this map with 13 cities of 250k people or more. Then again, it's smack dab in the centre of the most densely populated region in Europe, so that makes sense.
Fun fact: China actually owes the US $1.4 trillion (adjusted for inflation and interest) in debt from WWII due to all the lend lease items they never paid for, largely thanks to their civil war erupting again after WWII and the political chaos that ensued after that. So while the US owes $859.4 billion in debt if we make a claim on the debt they owe us, then we could effectively put them in 2 very awkward positions. Since technically those lend lease items were given to the Republic of China whom was the internationally recognized government at the time, but now only governs Taiwan. Except China (the PRC) does not recognize the government of Taiwan and labels it either as a breakaway province and or a rebelling province, but the PRC still claims jurisdiction over it (the One China Policy) despite the Republic of China (Taiwan) being a fully functional nation in every sense of the term. So we could demand that $1.2 trillion be paid in which case the PRC has 2 options, either pay the debt thus effectively wiping out our debt to them and getting some bonus cash in the process, or be forced to openly state that the debt is held solely by the Republic of China and thus forced to openly recognize Taiwan as a independent state and thus completely negating the One China Policy and eliminating their casus belli for conflict with Taiwan in the process. It would put China in a very awkward catch 22 and this would be the time to press that claim when they are heavily weakened from all their internal problems and foreign capital making its mass exodus from the country and weakening it further, something which we could use to further stave off a cross strait kinetic event from occurring, by applying even more pressure they cannot recover from in a reasonable amount of time.
Why does he never look at anything from NC. Find Me a single one that is primarily NC in ONE comic that isn’t the mason jar one, and I will be genuinely surprised
Pakistan is super in debt for an obvious reason, China loves their debt trapping. They're going to "help" Pakistan GREATLY even providing the labor and then eventually if a war ever happens they need help with they'll pretty much force them to help China by forgiving their debts.
i don't know how much gdp per capita really says about a country. like yeah low gdp means lower technologies to buy but like people in inda can still buy a house and food no problem simply going by just how many people survive there despite the gdp per capita being 2.5k which is less than halve what the ukrain has
