I really don’t understand how he knows so little about Indigenous American groups given that he can probably name some more obscure little countries. And the fact that he’s in Las Vegas now and he said he did a U.S road trip around there with all of the different reservations that are there he never mentions them. Even in this video when he was talking about Europeans not discovering the Americas but bringing all of them together like the Aztecs and Incas weren’t expanding empires themselves. He also says that unifying them is better than having a bunch of small tribes but he’d probably be against a federalised Europe instead of having all those little countries
the reason the map at the beginning is impressive, is because it's wrong, azerbaijan was named after Atropates a persian nobleman, eswatini was named after their 19th century king Mswati II, the Marshall Islands after the 18th century navy officer John Marshall , Uzbekistan after Oz beg Khan the longest reigning khan of the golden horde, Romania from the legendary Romulus, Italy from the legendary Italus, as well as many other that were not counted.
I'd argue against Romania and Italy (and there's a bunch of other legendary founders that appear to have been made up to explain the names rather than vice versa), but Azerbaijan and the Marshall Islands are correct and good points. There really was a khan called Uzbek but offhand I'm not sure if Uzbekistan was named after him (even indirectly). I don't know enough about Eswatini to have an idea one way or another. Georgia likes to _pretend_ it's named after Saint George but it's actually not.
Azores comes from açor, which is the Portuguese name for a bird that was spotted in big flocks when the island was discovered. So it's pretty funny that you mentioned the geese discovered the island, close but wrong bird
I think its really more fair to say that European interests triggered global connections on a much larger scale, rather than "discovering" all the places typically attributed to them (other than all these random archipelagos which truly were European discovered). Even saying that they brought together all those tribes is just... ehh... definitely misses the mark pretty hard. They had all sorts of governance and confederations and the like. And yes, there was some pretty impressive trade routes along the Indian ocean and Indonesia due to monsoons. But it can definitely be said that global connection, trade, and knowledge really kicked up a few notches after the age of exploration suddenly had people going to the most remote and difficult to access parts of the world on the regular.
But you also have to remember these people were fairly isolated not being aware they were on one of many continents. Their entire world view assumed they were it. They saw land and they saw water, and those on islands new about other islands that were within a short distance, no open ocean travel thousands of miles away.
@@gerardcote8391 I assume you're not taking into account the Austronesians here? Because the Austronesians already had a seafaring network that stretched from Madagascar to arguably the Americas, centuries before the Europeans starting sailing all over the place.
It also has to be said that long before the European powers were even a twinkle in the eye of Rome, the western half of the Old World already had plenty of contact with the eastern half, so much so that there's one town in Northern Europe with Veitnamese ancestry and there are Roman coinage being found in Japan. The biggest impact truly was the linking of the Far East with Europe via the Americas, but even there one might want to consider possible, albeit uncommon, links between South Americans and Austronesians.
The 'discovered by Europeans' map does not include Iceland or the Faroe Islands , which were both clearly discovered by Nordic Vikings around the 10th century. Perhaps anything discovered before the 15th century doesn't count?
It says on the map that it is all European discoveries during the Age of Exploration and after which started a few hundred years after those discoveries.
would be interesting to see how remote your most remote viewers live. like just ask in a video where your viewers live so they can type it in the comments and then make a video where you look up these places
Probably not me, but driving to the nearest "big" town (more than 25.000 inhabitants) is for me a 4+ hour car drive across a mountain with a glacier visible from the road. A town of 15.000 is 1 hour away.
Discovering requires 3 things, 1 something must be currently and generally unknown. 2 you have to find out about it. 3 most importantly you have to tell everyone else about it. For example, there is lithium in large amounts in the Congo. It was there but people didn't know it was there, except the locals who didn't know what those stones were. Therefor finding it and going to mine it is a discovery. Same thing goes with the discovery that lighting was electric discharge. Every one knew there was lighting, and some people would have noticed static electricity when they had wool and linen rubbing into each other creating electric shock, but realizing they were the same thing then telling people is a discovery.
Exactly. Yes, natives lived in discovered places, but they didnt really contribute to humanities collective knowledge. Only when explorers discovered the places and connected them to the world were they discovered.
@@thorthewolf8801 natives contributed to humanities collective knowledge the same way europeans did, by teaching other tribes they came in contact with the knowledge they had

Russia has 49 national parks and 103 nature serves, and the map in the video has just a few of both types. Those are protected nature areas, so do you really need those in the middle of nowhere if civilization isn't threatening them (directly at least)? It makes sense to me to establish them where people live. The map is from 2017, but in 2018 Russia did officially set up 1 national park and 5 nature reserves in Crimea, which actually existed way before the annexation, they just weren't integrated.
"Discover" is such a controversial term because it is obviously from a European perspective, as they were the only ones going out trying to discover places unknown to them at the time. It implies a kind arrogant belief that these places weren't important until they were "discovered" by Europeans. I think that's wrong though, as we still use the word 'discover' in phrases like 'I discover a new band at the weekend', or 'I discovered a great little restaurant'. The personal nature of that discovery is implied, and I think the same can be said of these voyages of discovery.
It's the collective european application of discovery in european society, we speak of our experience! :D I see you have a hard time with european society, but that doesn't mean we must change to accommodate you, you have a plethora of global options, just choose your favorite society and "discover" it! but don't ask them to change it.

That said, I 100% agree with you that the Cree and Blackfoot cannot be characterized as "small tribes" Blackfoot territory historically covered a landmass the size of Germany, while Cree spanned from the Upper Peace basin in BC to northern Quebec (or Labrador, if we include the Innu) and everywhere in between.

Rottnest Island in Australia hadn't been settled for at least 5000 years when Europeans arrived. There was a land Bridge that flooded. The indigenous had a name for it, but only as a thing on the horizon.
I thought I knew every country and territory and island and even most of the states or regions of countries. What the heck is Franz Josef Land?? Lol I've never heard of that place. Svalbard Island sure, Severny Island, that long skinny one north of Russia, ok, but Franz Josef Land?
The islands above Russia listed as "Many Islands" which says it was discovered by "Russia" is incorrect. The DeLong islands north of Russia were discovered by the USA during the Jeannette Expedition. So it should be dash colored as USA and Russia.
Actually we have somewhat recently discovered evidence of at least some vikings making it to the Azores. Because *OF COURSE* the vikings made it there...
That Mercator map makes you to think Russia is the place with the most remote areas, but in fact, The Amazon is bigger than what that map shows and it’s more mysterious than Siberia.
I live in a very isolated city lol it's apparently the most isolated city in the world or sometimes the 2nd or 3rd on two lists anyway for me to drive to another city it takes a day or just under 2700 km
Pretty crazy how we’re taught about the age of exploration and the new world so much in western countries. It’s really a complete anglicization of history
The American way of saying France always reminds me of "female friends". Cause Friends without the D is just France (American pronunciation). Also the British "France" sounds more fancy and thus fitting for the so called snobby French people.
Portuguese discovered Australia in 1522, they were sailing all around Oceania all the way to Hawai, and remember it was a portuguese sailor that made the 1st circumnavigation.
I remember the first time I was told that Columbus didn’t discover America first, I was like yeah you’re stupid. Then I later I learned that I was the stupid one
BTW the Inuit and the Eskaleut people in general (Inuit, Yupik, Aleut) are very interesting, they still exist both in North America and in Siberia to this day
Who discovered Europe if not Europeans? This map seems sus. For some reason I don't believe that Europeans discovered only islands. Lets for example take like a middle of a dessert or really dense jungles. I don't believe that everywhere except islands there were humans already. Nor that they had documented all of it. If human is on a piece of land it does not mean that he has knowledge about all of it and he knows how big it is. You wouldn't say that some random tribe in a jungle really discovered all of amazon forest. They might discovered a small portion of it. But there is no collective knowledge about whole continent so in fact they did not discovered it. If European went to China they could communicate with local people and I'm pretty sure that he could get a description of land over there. And in that sense this land was discovered by Chinese people. But if European went to Australia I doubt that they could get a description of the whole continent. There surely was a part of the continent that wasn't part of a local knowledge and maybe refereed as "great unknown".
I would say the tribes in south america have discovered the Amazon, and nothing else. All they know is a world of jungle and they can probably navigate pretty far.
Because the Europeans went everywhere, but none of the other nation went thought the world discovering much of anything unless you go far back in a antiquity . So that's why the Europeans discovered most all known lands. The spanish count as Europeans dont they?
Well people went from china to rome in ancient times, Madagascar had contact with the middle east , people used to sail from the redsea to the indian ocean (to trade with china, india,..) so u cant really say that, its very ignorant,non european people did indeed discover alot u just dont read enough.
@@AMR_k400 but they didnt go to or interact with Europeans, or the arctic , or north America. People DID go all over. Africans may have gone to south America, Chinese or pacificers might have gone to south America and the arctic. But not Europe. It does look like Europeans , including Scandinavia and central er Europe, went the most places and stayed the longest and traded the most. The ones who rule the seas seem to rule the world. Even back to ancient times it was the ones with ocean access and good ships that made the most 'discoveries' . The thing with Europe is that it's got good rivers that all travel to sea or ocean, and they have long sea access . Africa has rivers, but few go to the sea, plus they are treacherous and very hard to maneuver and are surrounded by jungle on many places. South America has plenty of sea access and rivers that go to the sea, but they never built ships and went exploring very far it seems . Maybe its because Europe was smaller and they wanted to spread out more than in Africa and south America. The asians sf pred through the Pacific and Pacific south America, but thats it. Thete area us do bast they never ventured beyond Tibet or Mongolia except for genghis Khan , and he just rode through for plunder and tribute. Its interesting that Europeans went so far and stayed, or at least did heavy trading with everybody on the planet. I think it's the ships and water access because the ones that have the ships are the ones that get around everywhere, trade with everybody and if course take whatever resources they can
Still impressive that there was some land that was unknown to humans before GPS
Its neat that the last little bits of land in the ocean were discovered in my lifetime.
Wat??
All unknown land to humans was before gps
I think he meant satellite imaging. GPS tells you where you are. It doesn't tell you what exists where you aren't.

Also the British "France" sounds more fancy and thus fitting for the so called snobby French people.
Why would it show Estonia being discovered by the Russian Empire. They were there long before that discovered by the Finno-Hungarians

Anyone talking about how Australia was discovered by the Dutch way before the British
Portuguese discovered Australia in 1522, they were sailing all around Oceania all the way to Hawai, and remember it was a portuguese sailor that made the 1st circumnavigation.
RIP Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan in the thumbnail
yea
0:33 Occupation is not colonisation! Italian is an equally beautiful language but they don’t deserve undue credit/blame.
Thats it. Im moving to Frans Josef-land. The most based country.
Unless you have hair 💀🤣
No, actually prehistoric fish discovered all land because they evolved to go on land first
What about bacteria? Should we ban the word discovery so that people don't cry to death?
I remember the first time I was told that Columbus didn’t discover America first, I was like yeah you’re stupid. Then I later I learned that I was the stupid one
Europeans discovered these places…..everyone else living there where have you been Mr European?? 😆

Greenland has Indigenous People! The Inuit have been there thousands of years
Y tho
The Icelandic vikings actually arrived before the Inuit
BTW the Inuit and the Eskaleut people in general (Inuit, Yupik, Aleut) are very interesting, they still exist both in North America and in Siberia to this day
@@gamermapper Unlikely.
@@AholeAtheist that's actually true. The Inuit (and Yupik and Aleut, all Eskaleut people) are a people that arrived in America relatively recently.
the US is a european country now?
Could we all agree that the person who decided to not label The Netherlands in Orange should be punched?

Oh yeah, drawing arbitrary borders never led to any strife or chaos. Do you even hear yourself?
Who discovered Europe if not Europeans?
This map seems sus. For some reason I don't believe that Europeans discovered only islands. Lets for example take like a middle of a dessert or really dense jungles. I don't believe that everywhere except islands there were humans already. Nor that they had documented all of it.
If human is on a piece of land it does not mean that he has knowledge about all of it and he knows how big it is. You wouldn't say that some random tribe in a jungle really discovered all of amazon forest. They might discovered a small portion of it. But there is no collective knowledge about whole continent so in fact they did not discovered it.
If European went to China they could communicate with local people and I'm pretty sure that he could get a description of land over there. And in that sense this land was discovered by Chinese people. But if European went to Australia I doubt that they could get a description of the whole continent. There surely was a part of the continent that wasn't part of a local knowledge and maybe refereed as "great unknown".
I would say the tribes in south america have discovered the Amazon, and nothing else. All they know is a world of jungle and they can probably navigate pretty far.
Sorry I just gotta say it...

hello
europe
Because the Europeans went everywhere, but none of the other nation went thought the world discovering much of anything unless you go far back in a antiquity . So that's why the Europeans discovered most all known lands. The spanish count as Europeans dont they?
Spain is in Europe. Why WOULDN'T they be considered European? There's absolutely no reason they wouldn't be.
@@gamermapper just saying......its europeans who discovered all the world. Everyone else made some discoveries, but they didn't go everywhere
Well people went from china to rome in ancient times, Madagascar had contact with the middle east , people used to sail from the redsea to the indian ocean (to trade with china, india,..) so u cant really say that, its very ignorant,non european people did indeed discover alot u just dont read enough.
@@AMR_k400 but they didnt go to or interact with Europeans, or the arctic , or north America. People DID go all over. Africans may have gone to south America, Chinese or pacificers might have gone to south America and the arctic. But not Europe. It does look like Europeans , including Scandinavia and central er Europe, went the most places and stayed the longest and traded the most. The ones who rule the seas seem to rule the world. Even back to ancient times it was the ones with ocean access and good ships that made the most 'discoveries' . The thing with Europe is that it's got good rivers that all travel to sea or ocean, and they have long sea access . Africa has rivers, but few go to the sea, plus they are treacherous and very hard to maneuver and are surrounded by jungle on many places. South America has plenty of sea access and rivers that go to the sea, but they never built ships and went exploring very far it seems . Maybe its because Europe was smaller and they wanted to spread out more than in Africa and south America. The asians sf pred through the Pacific and Pacific south America, but thats it. Thete area us do bast they never ventured beyond Tibet or Mongolia except for genghis Khan , and he just rode through for plunder and tribute. Its interesting that Europeans went so far and stayed, or at least did heavy trading with everybody on the planet. I think it's the ships and water access because the ones that have the ships are the ones that get around everywhere, trade with everybody and if course take whatever resources they can
