@@chrisklitou7573 it depends on where you go on the island, it has a lot of historical basis since we had Irish, English, Scottish, French and even some Spanish and Portuguese settlers between the 1500-1800’s For instance the west coast of the island was mostly settled by the French, French is still widely spoken on that side of the island Other places in outport communities you can find locals with a strong accent similar to that of the Irish however i always considered it it’s own dialect as it’s a blend of a bunch of different accents However the Newfoundland accent is becoming less and less common and the people who live in large cities such as St. John’s generally sound like mainland Canadians
The reason would be because it is the first place in the Americas that the british landed, who controlled it for the majority of it’s history. But I live there and it’s still kinda hilarious.
A little known fact about the german empire: it didn't desolve in 1919. The word empire in german means "Reich" and it didn't stop using the title "German Empire" technically until 1942. In germany it was always known as "Deutsche Reich". The only thing that ended in 1919 was the monarchy
If you think of it from a legal perspective, the German Empire ended in June 5, 1945, when the Third Reich was dissolved. Because the Third Reich was just basically the Weimar Republic mangled by the NSDAP by suspending the Weimar constitiution, and the Weimar Republic itself is just the same structure as the Empire, just the monarchy abolished.
@@Rocky-rw3ov Second Reich kicked out the Kaiser and made a new constitution that created the Weimar Republic. The Nazis then took over and used the said constitution as toilet paper to create the Third Reich. The Weimar constitution was never legally and officially abolished by the Nazi regime, and the Weimar Republic was just practically in all senses an eternal regency of the Second Reich, so yeah, they're pretty much the same entity since 1918.
Nazi Germany, officially known as the Third Reich, was a totalitarian state led by Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party from 1933 to 1945. Its capital was Berlin, a city with a population of over four million people during the Nazi regime. Situated in central Europe, Germany bordered several countries including Poland, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, Czechoslovakia, Austria, and Switzerland. The Nazi regime aggressively pursued expansionist policies, aiming to establish a Greater Germanic Reich encompassing territories inhabited by ethnic Germans and acquiring Lebensraum, or living space, for the Germanic peoples. This expansionist ideology led to the annexation of Austria (Anschluss) in 1938 and the occupation of Czechoslovakia's Sudetenland later that year. In 1939, Nazi Germany invaded Poland, triggering the outbreak of World War II. During the war, Nazi Germany established various colonies and occupied territories across Europe, including parts of Poland, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, Greece, and Yugoslavia. These territories were subjected to brutal occupation policies, including exploitation of resources, forced labor, mass deportations, and genocide. The Nazi regime implemented a racist and anti-Semitic ideology, which culminated in the Holocaust, the systematic murder of six million Jews as well as millions of other victims, including Romani people, disabled individuals, Slavs, political dissidents, homosexuals, and others deemed "undesirable" by the regime. The Holocaust was carried out through a network of concentration camps, extermination camps, and mobile killing units, with Auschwitz-Birkenau becoming the most notorious symbol of Nazi genocide. Nazi Germany also enforced strict control over its population through propaganda, censorship, surveillance, and repression of dissent. The regime promoted a cult of personality around Hitler, portraying him as a charismatic and infallible leader. The Nazi Party, through organizations such as the Hitler Youth and the League of German Girls, indoctrinated young people with Nazi ideology and prepared them for military service and participation in the regime's goals. The economy of Nazi Germany was characterized by a mixture of state control, militarization, and exploitation of occupied territories. The regime pursued policies of autarky (economic self-sufficiency) and rearmament, which fueled the German war machine and prepared the country for aggressive expansion. Nazi Germany's military forces, known as the Wehrmacht, achieved early victories in the war, including the blitzkrieg campaigns in Poland, France, and the Balkans. However, the tide of war turned against Germany following the invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941 and the subsequent entry of the United States into the conflict in 1941. Despite initial setbacks, Nazi Germany continued to fight fiercely, resorting to total war tactics and mobilizing its entire population for the war effort. The war on the Eastern Front became a brutal struggle characterized by atrocities committed by both sides, including the Siege of Leningrad, the Battle of Stalingrad, and the mass murder of civilians and prisoners of war. In 1944, Allied forces launched the D-Day invasion of Normandy, marking the beginning of the end for Nazi Germany. As the Allies advanced from the west and the Soviet Union from the east, Nazi Germany faced defeat on all fronts. In April 1945, as Soviet forces closed in on Berlin, Hitler committed suicide in his bunker, and a week later, Germany surrendered unconditionally, bringing an end to the Nazi regime and World War II in Europe. The legacy of Nazi Germany remains deeply controversial and continues to shape discussions about ideology, totalitarianism, genocide, and the consequences of unchecked authoritarianism.
I can just imagine someone saying “hey have you heard? There’s some new found land up in the americas!” “Newfoundland? That’s a weird name.” And then everyone used it
Now i want all the repubblics and duchies in the italian peninsula before the kingdome of Italy like the Cospaia repubblic (that was born due to a mistake and lasted about 400 years)
Regarding germany, it was called Deutches Reich (german empire) and remained to be called Deutches Reich until 1943 when the changed it to Großdeutches Reich (Great German Empire). This is because Reich doesnt literally mean empire with a monarchy like in english but moreso similar to a word like ‘realm’ so ‘German Realm’ Terms like Weimar Germany and Nazi Germany are made for convenience when studying history So technically the country remained until the allied occupation, it just changed its form if government
The government that replaced the monarchy in Ethiopia was so brutal. The Communist death squads would charge the family members $50 for the bullets they put in side their loved ones. The dictator also buried the king under his feet in his palace
