The North Sea explained 

Greetings from another NE lad - Darlo

@@paulbennett772Northumbrian here. Darlo is a really nice place. Have some great memories of the railway museum and eating at the Wetherspoons.

NE Scotland for me. 90% of the time it looks apocalyptic here 😂😊

Where about you from? Just curious as I also sail

Very much relate to this as a norwegian, albeit from the other side hahaha

I'm from the UK, I knew a few things about the North Sea - I was first drawn to it listening to our shipping forecast (BBC Radio 4, it's a weird tradition thing) whenever I'd hear 'dogger'. But this documentary taught me so much. Well done to the creator.

Nobody a American

Yup. Well said

Americans know nothing about the rest of the world that’s why

North sea is one of the worst seas in the world

Which is weird, considering it isn't much more than a bay in the North Sea.

In the German language there ist the word "Südsee" (South Sea) which is used for the tropical pacific. Also the Baltic Sea is called Ostsee (East See) an the Mediterranean is called "Mittelmeer" (Central Sea).

@@rienkhoek4169 it's a local name, don't take this too seriously

Well, in Danish it is called "Vesterhavet"!! Because it is to the West of Danmark!! To the east of Danmark lies "Østersøen". Because it is to the east of Danmark!! Go figure.

@@elspoocho4637 No i just think it is funny how countries can sometimes take over a name from another language and other times, they might mean the opposite.

The Limes.

But Scarborough is on Lake Ontario......one more town/city in Canada named after in the U.K. cheers

This is about the North Sea though doggerbank is but a footnote. Sure the land was there but that's not the sea is it? Plus, it's been reshaped and moulded by ice ages and erosion over countless centuries. It's now something different beyond pail, the North Sea.

it's not that bad. As a brit we know the south west with the open atlantic is way worse. All of the worst storms come from there. 115mph winds last year trashed my house and came from the atlantic hitting our southwest coast. By the time that same storm reached mainland europe and the north sea coast it had lost a lot of energy and was much weaker. Look up the waves in cape cornwall. Likewise scotland's west coast is far worse than it's east coast for winds and large waves. West UK is windier than the east, because the open atlantic is rougher and more dangerous than the north sea. North sea is simply traversed more often so more people encounter storms there.

No, those are too long

Although I agree with most of your sentiment. You sketch Groningen as a haven of judging people by their actions not their appearance and this does match my feelings and how I was raised. Nevertheless a big part of our history does also consist of colonialism and slavery, furthermore both modern and not modern racist wing propaganda captivates and captivated a lot of the Dutch population.

"when the dutch took over the english throne btw" lmao. the jingoistic propaganda of the dutch is insane. You mean when the english parliament decided an english female protestant heir to the throne and her dutch husband should be joint heads of state and planted them on the throne and asserted the supremacy of parliament over the monarchy in england? Do they actually teach history like that in netherlands? No wonder your universities are so far below the British ones in world rankings. No no i get it. I'd feel that inferiority complex as a dutchman too. After your cheap shots at an england divded by civil war after civil uproar were innefective once england became politically stable and dominated the world militarily and remins a cultural powerhouse to this day whilst the dutch fades into obscurity. It makes sense you guys have to BS history to make yourselves feel better.

The English parliament decided that the Dutch Parliament would build an invastion fleet twice the size of the Armada, and get an army of 40.000 together and have London occupied with no English soldiers allowed near it? The same parliament that was sidelined by a catholic absolutist king while no protestant had a legitimate claim to the throne? The Glorious Revolution myth as the birth of your current parliamentary monarchy as an English development coming from within was hanging by the thread of 7 lords inviting him, but even British historians have acknowledged that Willem contacted them and asked to be invited for propaganda reasons. No, for Dutch reasons this is hardly part of Dutch education and the self serving British version has been mainstream for ages. The facts show it was a Dutch Republic's initiative because of enemy France, it was not even about the English throne. The Dutch had been beyond that medieval shit for over at least a century. We see all of these self serving anglocentric chauvinistic falsehoods popping up in history videos here. The British had only global trade left, so the European trade must have had disappeared and wheat, wood, wine, beer, cloth, rye and whatever was now shipped from Asia in a full year of sailing instead of a couple of weeks sailing to the Baltics? Yeah right. The British shifted to global trade because they couldn't compete, not the trade itself.

@@DenUitvreter He literally faced no opposition when he arrived. Your fantasy goes out of the window acting like this was an invasion and not an invitation. He would have had no place had it been for his wife who was the legitimate heir. The fact that he was a male, and was only made joint ruler just adds to that. I don't know why you're hung up about the british not being able to compete with the dutch. We beat you in half of the anglo dutch wars, inculding the most important one: the final. After that you were left in ruins. We decided which colonies we would allow you to have, and we took those of yours we wanted for ourselves, with nothing the dutch could do about the matter. If it's a competition, the brits clearly won. And the dutch being past the medieval? We had a sovereign parliament, and an overthrow of the monarchy before you. You were catching up with us, not the other way around.

@@lokischeissmessiah5749 He didn't face any opposition because the legitimate absolutist king got a nosebleed and fled to France before the big battle. His wife was not the legitimate heir either, otherwise the Dutch would have waited it out. One of the reasons he hardly met any resistance was the size of his fleet and army and his effective propaganda campaign, asking a few lords with no power to invite him while already preparing the invasion was a part of that. How do you imagine that invition: "Come over, we are going to has to remain a surprise but bring a fleet twice the size of the Armada, 40.000 soldiers, a printing press and John Locke over." ? This is a video about trade, you start about the wars the English started against the Dutch Republic and against free trade. Because they couldn't compete in trade and had these medieval reflexes against the Dutch Republic that put the 'modern' in 'the early modern period'. The only reason the English matched the Dutch navy mostly was the trend towards heavier gunships the Dutch couldn't go along with because of their shallow home waters. The Dutch were never interested in being the most aggressive conquerers and imperialists, we even let you claim our succesfull invasion as your own revolution without being able to name one revolutionary act by an Englishman involved. That's also somethign typically British, because you don't know anything about other countries history you assume you were the first. But the Dutch had parliaments for ages and when the king took power back to enforce religious persecution they claimed inalienable rights including the freedom of religion, and declared the king, Philip II of Spain to have left the throne by becoming a tyrant. This was in 1581, well before any other and surely the Britihs got any such ideas. So the Dutch had parliaments (with commoners mostly, not nobility), balance of power, freedom of religion, freedom of thought, speech and print, full fledged capitalism with effectively a central bank in the early 1600's, and after a Dutchman arrived with an army and sat on the throne the British suddenly all had this too? What a coincidence, suddenly they came of with the Bank of England and free trade. They had their ally against France instead of the treachorous English going behind our back to attack together with France and catholic Germany like in 1672. It wasn't a coincidence that the radically modernized Britain 5 times the size of the Dutch Republic would take over afterwards, allthough it took Napoleon's invasion for Britain to take over from the Dutch Republic as the world's biggest trader. Capitalists as they were the Dutch didn't care the British doing most of the geopolitical fights now and understanding how to make money too, because the filthy rich Dutch simply got ROI through London now too. The fact that you take pride in Britain not honouring the agreement and taking the colonies is also telling. All the Dutch wanted since the 1560's, freedom and free trade basically, they got and secured it through exporting it. By making more money than anybody else and being copied, by printing more than half of Europe's books, by being a place where people like Descartes, Spinoza and John Locke could write their ideas in freedom and kickstart the enlightenment, by invading Britain, by having their DOI copied by the American rebels, by giving those rebels their guns and ammo, by shaping NYC with it's melting pot and the American dream. How did the Dutch lose? As some British tourist tot the Netherlands famously said: "If this is decline, I'll have some of that!"

@@DenUitvreter you are whining about the british feasting on dutch decline due to their political instability when the dutch did exactly this in the 1600s to the english? King james fled because his army abandoned him. We were a protestant nation. No serious historian agrees with your assertion that the dutch had the manpower to take the british throne themselves. As for wealth, it comes in circles. There were times before the dutch height when england was wealthier than the dutch, especially due to wool export, and the times after when the english were. Yes, ofcours the dutchman claims british success was down to his man william.on the throne. Ignore the fact that the industrial revolution, the greatest technological leap mankind has taken in all of human history occurred solely and was inmovated solely by the british. You guys took a century to catch up and copy our discoveries. That is why we are a more inpressive nation than you. That is why we are culturally relevant and you are not at all. And do not act like the dutch were nobler and kinder to their colonies than the british. You were literally even more savage. The brutality of the dutch east india company makes the britiah one blush.

I don't know much about the North Sea around Suffolk, but where I've seen it from Germany, Denmark, Norway, and Scotland, it's always been reflecting the sky, from quite turquoise over deep blue, to grey. I've never experienced it looking brown. Perhaps it's to do with the silt like you suggest?

Brexit sewage?

Where I live in Bridlington it’s very dirty brown colour and then a 5 minute drive up the coast to flamborough where it’s chalky it’s almost a clear colour

The wind doesn't blow constantly. The UK and others already exploit quite a bit of the North Sea for offshore wind - some of the largest installations in the world and this doesn't avoid wind power potential dropping to insignificant levels more frequently than you would think.

@@user-bs3fh7xn2s Ah yes, more insane propaganda by the nuclear fanboys. Did you all sleep at school when weather formation was taught to you? The worst drop in wind power production was in 1994, when wind power production was reduced to 25% of capacity for a period of six hours - not by lack of wind, but because the wind parks were hit by a storm that necessitated a partial shut down. If such a storm would happen today it would reduce the produced wind power to the "insignificant level" of 60 average-capacity nuclear reactors.

a) it might have been a port for most of the timeline this history video talks about. b) most of the goods that are shipped to England ports at the actual coastline end up in the London area anyway

@@Blackadder75 so, are you assuming that very little of the goods imported by sea (ports like Felixstowe for instance, which is massive) wind up in Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Sheffield, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Bristol, Plymouth, Nottingham, Leicester, Cardiff,Salford,Derby, Hull, Liverpool,etc etc etc?

@@Olleetheowl i was talking about ports in the southeast, half of the cities you name would be supplied from the Irish sea or bristol channel. not the north sea

@@Blackadder75 but nobody else was… so, each time I mention something, you qualify it.? Felixstowe (Britain’s largest import terminal) is firmly on the North Sea. And arguably in the South East (Not that it was ever a criteria, even in the Video).

@@Olleetheowl /facepalm have a nice day in Felixstowe or where ever you live

Well, not everything thankfully! I mean countries could be smaller than they are. I’m British and I like living on an island so personally I’m glad it’s there

If doggerland was there the world would be a very different place today. Almost certainly

Like Romanians

5:03 I'm assuming the Dogger Bank on the map is the remnants of it?

@@buckodonnghaile4309yeah so doggerbank was just the highest land of doggerland, I guess

Hoist the colours high

we also officially closed them down by law recently

He just put the green shading on Ireland instead of Scotland.

The overlay depicts the territory of the UK from the year 1800 and is taken from a historical map repository. It does not try to depict the current borders. That section of the video talks about the time when the British Empire was at its zenith

Ooo, he told you bro

But it is a part of the British Isles. British Isles is a geographical term and not a political description😊❤😊.

@@FactSpark The problem with the map you sourced from is that if it is based around the year 1800 as you claim it is, it portrays Scotland as an independent entity whilst having the whole of Ireland and England (and Wales though formerly annexed under the Kingdom of England at the time) together as a single entity which is wrong. Scotland and England were first and currently are unified into the United Kingdom of Great Britain back in 1707 (Uniting of the Kingdom of Scotland and the Kingdom of England into Great Britain, named after the island of Great Britain where both are located) whereas Ireland wasn't formally incorporated into the United Kingdom until 1801 (though the governments signed the Treaty of Union in 1800 tweaking the name into the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland). If the map was based in the year 1800 then Scotland and England would both be dark green due to being part of the recently formed United Kingdom of Great Britain whereas the island of Ireland would either be either beige or dark green depending on whether it was before or after the signing and ratifying of the treaty. The current map implies that Scotland was fully independant and Ireland and England were together as a single entity which wasn't the case. It was England and Scotland who unified. A great video nonetheless. I enjoyed watching it.

For how long?

well it will eventually run out no matter what

At the current production rate, the reserves are empty in 12,5 years. That's not far away. The reserves has been roughly cut in half since 2000, from 3,85 Trillion CM to less than 2.1 TcM in 2022.

it's only at an all time high because of Putin and his warmongery. Everybody turned to the norwegians, please please sell us everything you got and more. I think they would have done a much slower production rate without this war, to save more for the future

Brexit?
