I know it’s been a long time since it’s happened but once Western Australia wanted to be independent and so they voted to be independent as *Westralia* but the UK said they only wanted one Australia so that’s how there’s one Australia 🇦🇺 instead of 2

@@AhimtarHoN They were colonized by different countries that's the only reason why. Similarly to how Australia is trying to colonize this Bougainville project.

I'm from Papua New Guinea,Bougainvillea is still Part of Papua New Guinea and it's considered and Given the Autonomy due to their Push for Indepedence.
Been following this regions decisions since the announcement of the referendum in EARLY 2019, and still do to this day, thank you so much for making this video!!!!
"Naming the island after himself" Alexander the Great: *Ah I see you're a man of culture as well* Also, Louis Antoine isn't from Bougainville. He was born in Paris, which was also where he died. He gets that from his father, Pierre-Yves de Bougainville. Fun fact, Louis actually managed to escape the Reign of Terror to Normandy where he retired. And when he returned to Paris, Napoleon made him a senator. He was also the explorer responsible for the first recorded settlement on the Falklands, Port Saint Louis. The French name he gave to the islands, Îles Malouines, is where the Spanish name came from
Exactly, that South American archipelago was named îles Malouines (islas Malvinas, in Spanish) after the French port city of Saint-Malo. Actually there is an island named after Bougainville there, although in English it's known as Lively Island, but in Spanish is known as Bougainville Island (isla Bougainville).
This is the first time I'm hearing Australia and Indonesia actually works together to support a foreign government. I always know Bougainville as a flower name, bunga Bugenvil in Indonesia. Also it was where Yamamoto went down.
I love that you will take on the smaller, less well-known and more obscure topics and places to report on and do so respectfully. They are often the most interesting as well.
Bougainville didn't become part of the Territory of Papua and New Guinea because of distance. They were simply a part of German New Guinea, which the Aussies got as a result of WWI. This became the Territory of New Guinea, which was then combined with the Territory of Papua (which has been in Aussie/British hands since 1883) to form the Territory of Papua and New Guinea.
My uncle went there in the 1990s with the Australian army to build a whole bunch of houses and stuff for them. He says we have more bogans here in Brisbane than they do in Bouganville.
Bougainville will gain independence from Papua New Guinea, which in turn gained independence from Australia, which in turn gained independence from the UK
Everyone is missing the point on why independence will not take place until 2027. That will give Papua/New Guinea and Australia time to go into overdrive mining the remaining (if any) copper and gold.
The Panguna Mine has been closed since the start of hostilities between the BRA and the PNG Defence Force/Police Force combined forces were sent there after the blowing up and sabotage of a power pylon. The mine has been largely abandoned and the equipment ground to a halt and rusting. However there is talk of China moving in after their independence to resume mine operations but that will depend on who is in power at the time.
I am glad you also mentioned the similarly spelled tropical plant. If you did not, I would have. BTW, I have a BOUGAINVILLEA growing in my basement during the non-summer seasons here in New England. I also have lemon, lime, orange and tangerine trees in my basement. I used to have a banana plant but it grew too big to take indoors at the end of the summer season/
The mine alone when it was operating was producing 175,000 tonnes of copper and 18 tonnes of gold a year. At today's value, that is US$1.8b of copper + $1.3b of gold. The entire GDP of the Solomon islands is only $2b, though it has a population 2x that of Bougainville.
The great question is what it will be called in each language. It's clearly going to be Bougainville in English, but what about other languages? The spelling is a bit awkward in some languages, so will it be adapted or not?
Locals call it Bogenvil. Locals wouldn't have had a name for the whole country. In places like Australia indigenous people didn't see the whole thing as an entity. They knew the land of their tribal/language group. Same in Bougainville. People on the southern end of the main island probably didn't even know there were other islands to the north.
I use to collect coconut every morning for fuel making. not knowing that my father will one day got himself in trouble. He was wounded in a combat between the PNGDF, lucky we had fuel already that he was send to Honiara for medical treatment. thanks to the war we have learn a lot
Good video! The way you structured it, however, took the emphasis off of the mine. The mine was basically the reason for the conflict. Some groups gained from the mine, some groups lost (esp their fishing ground). THE question for the new Bougainville is - do we re-open the mine? And if they do, how do they ensure the money doesn't just disappear out of the country, like in PNG and Timor?
The way Norway approached the development of their offshore oil industry would provide a beneficial model for copper mine development that would benefit the local population.
I used to have hope for that but Carrie Lam and them have cowered to mainland China and all the major democratic movement members and financial backers have been locked up. What a complete turnaround from day 3-4 years ago. Makes me sad because financially they have the money to be independent and the backing of international community to help support their decision
Ahh Bougainville, a place I heard about almost daily during Marine Corps boot camp. It was one of 5 key battles of WW2. BOUGANVILLE, IWO JIMA, GUADALCANAL, OKINAWA, TARAWA!!!!
A sidenote - you surely meant 1768 NOT 1868 (seeing the style and clothing of the picture of de Bougainville, and I recalled he was a 18th century explorer) - I checked upon the facts quickly -> the existence of the island was already known in the 17th century (dutch sailors), more precisely described by english and french explorers in the 1760's, eventually credited and named after d. B ... it was awarded to Germany in 1886, according to the agreement between GB and Germany ... etc.
I always feel deeply disappointed in bigger nations governments when small regions vote to become independent, it typically means the bigger governments have failed, they haven’t cared for the land and its peoples, they probably stripped it of resources if any were found, and it’s probably an overall positive for it to be free, but if government like Australia’s had really cared about its northern islands and treated them better (something they nearly do to any of their land tbh), regions wouldn’t be needing to split up so often
Independence is usually for cultual/ethnical/geographical reasons, not only for economical ones. And island nations are so remote that it's almost impossible for them to be assimilated in other cultural identities. Usually those aren't rich countries, and people there spend the whole life in the same island/archipelago (with maybe some rare vacations for the upper middle class). People in different island have a completely different culture, and speak different languages.
Yes, maybe they will find freedom. But we all know that from 1989 to 1991, 15 new countries appeared in the world, instead of one USSR. In some newly formed countries autonomies have appeared, which will probably also gain freedom. There are already unrecognized states. There are many such territories that may want freedom. Author, can you make a video on this topic? Think it will be interesting.
There are already too many independent Territories it seems the more humanity is striving for unity the more local nationalism is increasing for me it's contradictory and it shows how much mankind is a weird species
Doubt it, another country could form at any time, heck if South Africa continues to blow apart we could see 3 new countries possibly just from the aftermath.
Another question is if Queen Elizabeth about to gain a new title for the first time in decades? She is still the Queen of Papua New Guinea as it remained in the Commonwealth, just like she’s still Queen of Canada and such, so when Bougainville becomes independent will they name her “Queen of Bougainville” as a Constitutional Monarch or not? It be the first time in decades the British Crown actually gained a title so it be interesting to see
There are already more than 200 countries in the world if you count in that way 195 is the number of UN members and non-member observers, not the number of actual countries
But Bougainville native inhabitance are primarily non-Austronesian, rather ethnically related to Papuans and Autralian Aboriginals. Austronesians only intermixed with them during earlier migration period.
They apparently have some autonomy already, but most State offices likely exist with funding from the central Papua New Guinea government. Hopefully they can make it work on their own

Hi Gen. Knowledge, keep up the awesome work, just for the record, the bougainvillea is native to Colombia as well, I am Colombian and live here in Col, there's even one at my grandma's house, it's possible it may be found in all of South America, anyway, just wanted to make that clear no hate or nothing like that, nobody's perfect, you have great videos, again, keep it up, peace.
Before Bouganville made it to Bougainville he was in North America trying to defend New France from the British. That wasn't too successful. So he went south.
1:04 It's either "what it will look like" or "how it will look", not "how it will look like". 2:18 That should be 1768, not 1868. Louis Antoine de Bougainville's dates are 1729-1811. I mean, look at what he's wearing. That's not very 19th century.
