@Aditya R 四五天安门事件发生在1976年4月5日，中国北京的天安门广场。该事件发生在南京事件之后的传统哀悼日清明节，是由当年早些时候周恩来总理去世引发的。一些人强烈反对拆除哀悼的陈列品，并开始聚集在广场上以抗议中央政府，然后主要在四人帮的主持下，该四人团伙下令清理广场。 Good luck fucker
I would imagine that any island that pops up in the exclusive economic zone of any country would automatically be theirs. The question would be what would happen if it popped up in international waters?
Scenario A: It somehow was a 5 metre long atoll at any point in the 19th century, then it belongs to the British Scenario B: It has oil/gas reserves. It is American Scenario C: It is neither A or B, it is now Chinese territory and google ceases to exist on an uninhabited island. Also this tiny island will become an archipelago just because.
EEZ isn't the same as territorial waters, so it's not so obvious. If it was outside territorial waters, you could argue the journalist had the rights to it and what Iceland did was stealing
L Haviland perhaps but I would like to say if there is enough land created in an eez to fill the eez then any more land found would then double the size of the eez if found outside the eez
"Somebody just claims that they own it, and if they get enough people and countries to believe them, then they become right." You basically summed up all of human politics in a single sentence.
@@creounity sadly i dont believe in Chinese as their government don't want them to know the truth. The crazy amount of censorship in that country and the lack of freedom have brainwashed so many people

@Rahul Khanna lol when Chinese tried to upload video footages of the HK protest RU-vid bans them. apparently ur democracy country aren't that democracy after all
If you allow for crossing rivers, lakes and artificially created canals, I managed to find 22 countries in a straight line (although some of them just baaaarely). Start at almost the westernmost point in Guinea Bissau and walk 12.766km to Ninh Binh, Vietnam! Guinea Bissau, Senegal, Gambia, Mali, Mauritania, Algeria, Libya, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Myanmar, China, Laos, Vietnam
NATO erupts into chaos due to the fact that an African nation claimed a strategically important island that could be used to conquer Iceland and destroy NATO. Tanzania built a military base there and soon, the news broke. The government of Iceland freaks out and declares war on Tanzania, followed by NATO. The African Union would declare war on Iceland and NATO, to back up Tanzania.
You could also do what Italy did with Graham Island, which has risen and sunk beneath the Mediterranean multiple times since the mid-1800s. Just in case it popped up again, the Italians sent a diving team down to plant a flag on the island underwater so it’s automatically theirs if it re-emerges and manages to stabilize.
Senkaku/Diaoyu Islands: *exists* Japan: We got there first. Here are some historic documents. China: No, we got there first. Here are some historic documents. The other China: We got there first, but it's this we and not that we. That short answer can become reeeaaaallllyy long disputes.
If the guy whom planted the flag had stayed on the island and started building a settlement (and used his own flag instead of a company’s) he would have been given the right to create his own country.
4:22 thank you HAI for the shoutout about the situation in Hong Kong: police brutality and misconduct. All alleged, of course. Censors have a way of unseeing certain things!
Sam, in all honesty: Extremities is such a great Podcast. Been listening since the first episode and enjoyed every single minute of it. Thank you so much for your work!!
You cant just sail to isolated islands owned by countries either... they have protocols for visitors. They can get testy if you just drop anchor and hang out on their unspoiled beaches uninvited.
An island could also be formed by artificial construction (which automatically claims it, unless Antarctica, Bir Tawil or Liberland constructed it, or if it is the Principality of Sealand)
Make sure to watch CGP’s video about who owns the islands between New York and New Jersey. New York made its island bigger and New Jersey gets the extra land haha
What about the fact that many countries have predefined territorial waters? If a new island forms within a country’s territorial waters, i.e Surtsey, which is within that 12 nautical mile limit of Iceland, doesn’t that technically give that country automatic sovereignty?
It's not - that's the world in 1914, and India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Burma were all British colonies, with a few coastal cities under Portuguese control.
shenmueIII suporta o PNR e Chega e Mario Machado Yes I am a Joke channel, but climate change is real, it's no joke. I would like to see how you feel in 10,000 years when you see that a large portion of land is now gone. Some people honestly are too wrapped up creating fake conspiracies and not saving the environment. Wake up.
