The World According to Americans... Explained by Geography Expert 

As an Africa, I respect the Amaricans for knowing about Africa city, it's usually outshined by Asia city.

As a person who lives in the forgotten on the map country, I think you guys outshine us

@@mayortyranno4645forgotten? Non-existent!

@@patrickchapman3242 no no, that would be next to the great wall of china, by antarctica 👍

but isn't australia very far from paris ?

it's in British Museum.

@@gizel4376 It's just east of Switzeland, so not that far through the Alps.

Hope your parisians will join our great country of Eiffel Tower someday. It is so nice, settled in the middle of Africa, Tokyo. From a fellow italian.

I took a class in the history of Southeast Asia 50 yrs ago in college and the first thing the professor did was give us a map of the area and make us learn where all of the countries were. I am still really good at placing countries in Asia. Africa is still a bit of a challenge though I have been working on it.

​@@chronic2023 Sporcle quizzes helped me a lot in that regard. Names of countries, their outlines, their flags, etc.

But was he from the country of the moon?

My AP human geography teacher had use do geography test, but now we don’t do them anymore, but I can tell you the names of a bunch of countries in the African continent, Europe, Asia, etc.

same

but it is FUNNI 🤣😂

@@DBT1007 Is it tho?

I swear we're not all like this

Yeah

@@godofcheese5528 lies

As an American myself, I can feel his pain.

you didn't have to cut me off-

The reality of every nationality and as such NATION in the world, is that by all means a State IS what a country is. Not only do massive, oppressive federations call themselves "nationalities", they call economically insignifacnt states flyover state, and every STATE beyond the capital city essetnially flyover region. This is not normal, this is the political equivalent of Chinese bodunk cities washing their restaurant plates in dirty river water, and it's COMPLETELY normalized. The drafting of political will and tax resources even is built to serve this function, and that's why democracies work the way they do, simply functioning as accountability sinks so that a democratic voter is never accountable. For his atrocities that rival dictatorships, when a person with authority makes similar decisions witohut a scapegoat in "the corrupt politicians". Only in democracies are POLITICIANS that black mark on POLITICS, anywhere else like real republicks politics equals diplomacy and NOT the military industrial complex, economy of war. Deomcracy doesn't boil down entirely to voting, but in democracies voting is like food stamps of political power, and it's the ONLY currency that voters trade in that field. It's a ghetto, it's a project housing distirc. THAT is why people have no clue what a country IS, beyond their local governor, a robber baron in a high tower.

@@sboinkthelegday3892 You good bro?

@@sboinkthelegday3892bet you are the girl in the story defending her reasoning

@@sboinkthelegday3892So, every nationality is a country. Ok, so, according to your logic, Rome is a country today. Because Roman is a nationality. Burgundy is a country, because Burgundian. No. A nationality does not mean country. Officially UN recognized countries, are, shocker, countries. Nothing else

this is why united states are bad in geograph and not fair you guys are so low level

Well yeah, but i mean they/you were never curious about the new war in there since it started up in early 2022?

This is really sad tbh

Funny fact:Africa will never be United because there are probably of thousands tribes

She lives in time before colonisation

@@jattikuukunen Bruh what lol Africa wasnt united before colonization LOL

Bro they are the same, like both are in europe and they also emmmm they also ummmm emmmm uhhhh yeah...

czechoslovakia? how long ago was this?

@@juanvarughese8096 happened this year actually… think they weren’t updated on their geography🤷🏼‍♂️

@@NorweiganKarl Let me ask you this, are you caught up on your South American geography, or your African geography? You Europeans think you are all so important that we should know everything about your continent that y’all do. The simple truth is Norway and pretty much any part of Europe that isn’t Western or Central Europe just aren’t an important enough place for us to be able to distinguish between y’all without being told where y’all are from. Americans are never thinking about Norwegians so why would they automatically know when they see one? When you see someone from Thailand would you automatically know they’re from Thailand just from a basic conversation? I want to cap everything off by saying just because I say Norway isn’t important to us doesn’t mean I’m trying say that Norway isn’t important at all. Obviously to Norway and it’s neighbors, they are very important, but that’s not gonna be the case for everyone.

@@williamhardee8863 lemme tell you this. As I commented this just to tell a funny story, I do believe in everything you said. However, I think that the European school system is better, since we are being taught a little bit from every part of the world, not just all about a little place. And I am actually, caught up on some of the things going on in South America and Africa, but I am not caught up on all of it. You prove a valid point, but we over here in Europe are also taught things about the rest of the world.

Yep, I can relate, I am Brazilian and some guy was telling me, (a Brazilian) that Brazil is in Africa and he would not accept it when I told him that he was wrong... so wrong. And when I first came to the US in 1972, many students, (I was in the 10th grade) seemed to think that I had never seen or ridden in a car, (I was born and raised in São Paulo). I decided to have a bit of fun at their expense and regalled them with stories of "living in the jungle" and "hunting for breakfast". And they ate it up. Their ignorance of their Country and the World in which they live came as a shock to me. I couldn't believe that American kids were so dumb about everything, they also thought that since I lived in Brazil, I must've had some "good weed", I had heard of marijuana in Brazil but had never seen it and didn't know anyone who had even seen it, let alone tried it. That was another shock for me, that crap was EVERYWHERE, pot, pills, hashish, it was mind boggling. I Also thought that American High School was a joke, I was placed in the 10th grade but I had covered it all in a Brazilian School 2 years earlier. Ended up graduating 2 years early. Loved American girls though, WOW! damn! did I love American girls, (still do).

Had to scroll hundreds of comments before finding someone mentioning this 😂

Oh yes we are gonna talk about it And that Drew did not care

Bro the second I saw this I knew something was off

well in a way that wouldn't be wrong lol

It would be better if the answer is point on french Guyana

French antarctic islands :)

Amazing cat pfp

Antartique*, sorry. . .

Yes those were the days, as if the Indian history, which has a gazillion empires and periods, and Indian geography aren't enough, I had to learn the geography of France and Nigeria lol.

Reletable for an Italian although we did it later, we had ( around the age of 12-14) to point out the capitals the lakes and rivers of the various continents and then describing the various geographic differences and the which sectors would have been more advantaged and disadvantaged in such territory ( for example in the Jungle Exotic fruits may be grown more easily while anything regarding the Tertiary sector won’t just have the infrastructure to be supported) while a plain area near a river will be more useful for Industries such as ( we also had to make examples) the Solvay.

@@Boretheory this seems like our syllabus lol, although we had all this thing in just one chapter in class 8. Yeah I know, tragic..

​@@Harshiahaha😂

@@Harshiahaha To be fair, I had to learn a bit of Indian geography (topography and density of population, that kind of stuff). Thanks to god and a limited amount of time, I didn't had to study Indian history.

I don’t even know how my siblings and I know some geography and some flags. We’ve pretty much never been taught it in school but somehow all of us can identify more countries and flags correctly than our friends

​@@dylanfield7098I know many of those countries because of playing fifa too much. I memorized the player's country names

But did the shower curtain include New Zealand?

⁠@@Gohkar/ShowerCurtainsWithoutNewZealand 😢😢

@@the-bz3zt Yes video games are actually a good way to learn some things. When i was younger i played a lot of minecraft and back then it was only available in english. So I automatically learned a lot of vocabulary

Never heard of an aquatic science class in high school

@@Lybrelit was more of an elective. I needed to get more elective credits for graduation.

I don’t know any oceans except the atlantic, pacific and indian ocean if its even called that, yeah oceans arent my speciality

@@Tied112only missing the Arctic Ocean and the Southern Ocean!

Well there are only three undisputed ones. The Arctic ocean isn't always considered one, I think the Southern/Antarctic ocean is generally recognized as one but a compelling case can be made against it, and the Caspian may or may not count as Ocean depending on who you ask.

To answer your question, being braindead helps a lot😅

@@desertclawsYou can edit comments 😊

oh no how dare someone learn about the world around them and its past - them probably

Man still the worst thing about this every one of those idots and your vote will be seen equal

and then they join the military and bomb switzerland instead of germany lmao or ukraine instead of russia would be more fitting in this time

u cant just get a 100% on any geoguesser u aint rainbolt

They are the divided states americans

That pfp clearly shows what happened

Well that girl that said there's no countries in africa was clearly confusing it with australia, that's the only explanation i've got. ^^

That's what I was thinking 😂

These kind of ignorant people are everywhere

Same

I'm 99% sure every one of these 'Muricans *dumb!* ' videos or what have you are entirely scripted. No one from this country could fail to identify the United States on a map, not unless that person is blind. I doubt anyone from this country would fail to identify Canada, Mexico, France or the UK, average people might not readily know all of the rest.

@@Iosinyhrh Haha great response to someone who couldn't get past the fourth word before making one of many mistakes. There should be a browser extension to auto-hide comments with "by the fact".

Or spell 'where'.

U mean u had a civilwar? No switching sides considering the Italo-Indian kindom surrendered

@@Boretheory but one month after the surrender, it did join the war against its former ally, so it did kind-of switch sides. Also, they had switched sides during WW1, so there's that. :-)

Only idiots don't switch their opinion when circumstances change. And you Indians aren't stupid. 😊

@@irrelevant_noob nono They didn’t as in WWII the new government was formed by CCP and Partisans which fought by allies side from the start, the fascist regime continued to fight with the German with the republic of Salo In WWI even less as Italy left the alliance because Austria infringed point 4 and 7 in which it couldn’t start a war in the balcans. They tried to convince Italy but it preferred to leave the alliance. It joined the war but a year later

Same, like SO many people have me legitimately concerned

@@TheDJdesingerI’m not sure,but the videos might be faked

@@Belgianmapping1567quite a lot of them are

Literally no one will know these questions. Even if you ask an average person from any country they may not know it. It depends whether they're really interested in it or not

Because we don’t care lmao 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅🦅

*slides away in American of Dutch descent*

Please don’t… America.

X2

YES PLS MAKE THIS

No don’t care I have better things to worry about

To be fair if you can tell where your country are and maybe some of your neighbors it's good enough. Like I won't know which Africa or ME country is which either.

Also I forgot to mention this was a joke

As an Italian, I can confirm 93000 pakistani soldiers surrendered to us in 1971

​@@afkass4965as a Pakistani, I can confirm the Italian pilot drank tea in our country. He said tea is fantastic

no it's just less democratic

Hey I’m an American and I can point out any country on a map

That is already a thing, go check it out. It's even funnier.

Better ask to name the states within the USA because we only know a few. Usually the USA is shown as a big monolithic block on our European maps.

yep acording to people from berlin pablo escobar is mexican and india is in africa i guess some of our people here in europe got infected with the illness called s.t.u.p.i.d wich came from america

@@gambri1980 it is a country after all wich is why its not being shown with its states borders because its a world map if you look at a national map of the usa you will see them

You do make a good point.

It is. Different countries and districts have different curriculums. As far as I know, Teachers decide how to teach their students and if they pass there regional test then they can move up grades.

I'm too curious to know how was this Geopolitics class you had in High School. Do you mind telling me what did they teach you more concretly in that class?

We didn’t have much education in the form of „which countries are where?“ but more about Passat winds, minerals, economical and ecological considerations. We were supposed to learn the locations on our own and turned out fine.

Some anecdata: I went to extremely well-regarded and well-funded public schools in Chicagoland. We had very limited geography in 7th grade Social Studies and that's it. That was 1986-87, for me. We covered US states and capitals. Same with European countries and their capitals. For the rest of the world, we had a single quiz that required labeling 10 or 12 countries/capitals. That was about it. In high school, all I had was AP US and European History classes. At a highfalutin university, I took a bunch of history classes for fun, but they didn't even offer geography classes, not that I would have taken one. However, I picked up a lot of geography on my own via learning about history. That, plus watching Olympics and being generally curious, was sufficient for me to be able to list about 175 countries when I tried during my late-30s. That was impetus to get me to fill in the gaps, which were mostly not knowing which islands were sovereign nations vs territories. Now I can list all countries and maybe 90% of the capitals without any problem....a little more problem if it involves spelling the capitals of Brunei, South Ossetia, etc.. My point is almost all of that was self-motivated away from schools. Someone could have easily gone through the same schools I did without know much of anything about geography beyond where some white people live and are from. Some USians do have more robust, formal geography instruction in school, but it varies greatly.

Diff countries and regions or even sometimes states do have diff curriculum but they all usually do include common basic knowledge. Not sure if they bunked class or teachers forgot to teach them.
