Poland is very easy to invade.
Germany: We know
Russia: We know
*WW2 flashbacks*
is easy to invade but harder to conquer, I mean the country disappeared from maps for like 123 years and they willed themselves back onto world maps, they were invaded and occupied by germany and russia and still they persist, and since the sense of patriotism in poles is as strong, if not stronger than ever, I doubt anyone would be able to hold the country for long, if the UN or the US won't help, then you can be sure the poles will start crafting weapons in their sewers like in the old days, poland military may be weak yeah but they did hold westerplatte (like it's a peninsula near the ocean) by themselves until their resources ran out and had to give up, as many history books and wikipedia says
Despite initial assessment on both sides that the Polish garrison might hold out for several hours before being reinforced or overwhelmed, the Poles held out for seven days and repelled thirteen assaults that included dive-bomber attacks and naval shelling
Sweden: We know
France: We know
Austria: We know
The Mongols: We know
Meanwhile Józef Piłsudski : Spierdalaj
For 2022, Poland took army really serious, they ranked 24 of 140 out of the countries considered for the annual GFP review. It's stronger neighbours : Germany is rank 16 , Ukraine 22 and Czech Rep 41 and if you take in consideration Kaliningrad, Russian army is rank 2
Ukraine probably got a few ranks up recently.

Afghanistan seems to be one of the easiest countries to invade, given how many times it’s happened throughout history. Conquering it is what’s difficult.
NO you fool Afghanistan is land locked meaning you have to through other nations to get there and have massive Army like USA or Russia or you wont get to the capital Alive!
@Dogdog GO You mean the OpFor.
Except if Philipines,USA,South Korea,Japan would invade the entire middle east and just to take afghanistan after all they all they are great allies and they are very powerful
It was invaded more by circumstance rather than ease, and it was invaded by the largest countries in the world, the US and Russia.
It's called mountains everywhere
So how easy we talking...?
Not too easy and not too hard

"Greenland technically governs itself, though it has close ties to Denmark"
Even though Greenland is autonomous, it is still technically part of the Kingdom of Denmark, more than 'close ties.'
This channel really annoys me. They create these videos with nice animation but without doing any serious research, it's just broscience videos. Greenland is in NATO because it's a part of Denmark, it's just common knowledge.
Yeah Greenland is a part of Denmark, irritating to hear this
@@josephphilips1129why are you watching their videos though
@@darkcharge4206 Actually i do from time to time
The Australian deserts cover over a million square kilometres of the country. Australia is the only continent without glaciers. While Australia is significantly larger than Greenland, Greenland often appears larger on maps because of the distortion caused by proximity to the North Pole.
Also the reason why Australia isn't considered the largest island in the world is because it's a continent, otherwise you could technically say the largest island is Eurasia
yea no idea why they exaggerated greenland so much, could be be because infographics is a joke and extremely innacurate on most subjects but thats what you get from americans
Africa and South America have glaciers?
Also if the ice was gone off of Greenland the entire interior of it would be underwater. Greenland is one large atoll.
@@hipp013 incorrect.
it is considered both the smallest continent and the largest island on the planet.

Sweden, my country, is probably on this list. Sweden is the easiest country ever to invade. Even the weakest country ever can invade Sweden. Since there's nothing to do here in Sweden, the invading force would just leave out of boredom

to take Australia, you need to take and hold the East coast. Attacking from the west, or north west , you would need a massive supply column to supply an army. You also have to take the Emu's into account.
And the rabbits
Yes...especially the Emus...*Gets flashbacks of the Emu War*
Australia has Drop Bears & Cassowaries .
yea you don't want to lose a war to Emus

Without watching I can say that Poland is one of the easiest countries to invade 🤷🏻♂️. The geographical location of this country is tragic. Between hammer and anvil.

@@jonathanchen5902 Yup, the good thing is that we finally get on well with Germans as allies. With Russia a bit worse, but at least Poland has some kind of buffer as Belarus and Ukraine...
That's why we (Poland and NATO) should help Ukraine on border with Russia.
@@SzaaBao i agree but whats worst is fears that if russia invades Ukraine then china might use the opportunity to take back taiwan
At #1, Greenland has a lot of minerals which are increasingly accessible thanks to the receding glacier, so that reason alone could potentially make it a target for invasion.
It would be useful for the US to own it, but we aren't imperialist so that's probably out of the question.
@@silverletter4551 its still under your protection due to Nato
@@silverletter4551 that’s the reason (rare earths) why Trump wanted to buy Greenland from Denmark. Of course he did not admit publicly that that’s the reason because for the sake of his base he has to pretend he doesn’t believe in climate change (sort of - he sat somewhat on the fence when asked directly in the debates, so as not to be too unappealing to independent swing voters).
"Just to put that in perspective, Elon Musk has over 5 times the net worth of the entire nation of Tuvalu" at $297 billion versus $50 million.

*putin liked this video*
8:17 "Aruba is technically under the protection of the Netherlands". "Aruba is one of the four countries that form the Kingdom of the Netherlands, along with the Netherlands, Curaçao, and Sint Maarten; the citizens of these countries are all Dutch nationals." (Wikipedia) So it's actually part of the Netherlands, a member state of NATO (and the EU). Wouldn't this put it in the same catagory as Costa Rica?
Not only that, but he completely ignored how many people from the three islands serve in the military.
Sussy infographics leaving out info
Yes it is part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, but it is not a part of the EU and not in protection area of NATO. So the Netherlands has to defend Aruba by herself, which is currently difficult. Only when the political will in the Netherlands changes it will be quit easy to defend, but it will cost a lot of money and the Netherlands has a lot of money. With all that money it should build up her navy again. Not only to protect Aruba, but all parts of the Kingdom.What isn't in the video is that there is a marine presence on the island and Dutch warships are always only a few hours away.
@@smo22355 Unless something has happened recently, the Kingdom of the Netherlands is and has been a member of NATO since 1949 ( along with the rest of the Benelux countries). The Netherlands holds 26 seats in the European Parliament and held the revolving presidency of the Council of the EU 12 times between 1960 and 2016. I guess they didn't get the memo...
@@hamvak I understand your point, but The Netherlands is member of the EU and NATO, but the Kingdom of the Netherlands isn't. I hope it will change in the future, but the political will isn't there yet.
This comes right on time giving that I’ve created a plan to buy myself a modernized T55 tank and use it to create the first Atlantic Empire
Loll
how are you going to drive that tank through the ocean to your island of choice?
@@hsaccount_ that’s the smart part. I let the tank be delivered in Belgium and then I drive into luxemburg, which is hardly a country, and claim all their money. Then I’ll use that money to buy a tandem rotor cargo helicopter and use it to airlift my tank across the ocean, with added fuel tanks and refueling of coarse.
Either that, or a boat
@@yarnickgoovaerts Its seems you have thought of this thoroughly. Tell me what island would it that would only take one tank to invade and conquer.
@@yarnickgoovaerts this is getting interesting
thk for the information, will use it soon.
I disagree about Aruba being on this list. Aruba, together with Bonaire and Curacao belong to the A, B, C Islands of the Netherlands in the Caribbean. The Dutch have a massive military presence as well as marine and AF bases on Curacao. The Netherlands would have no issue getting their military forces to Aruba in no time. Besides, the Netherlands has close and good ties to the US, so i am sure the US would assist quite fast as well.
The Dutch PM would be totally fine with it though if Maduro's Venezuela decides to invade those islands. Those islands are so corrupt the Dutch government had to take over control a few times to restore order. And that only during the 12 years those islands are countries (except for Bonaire).
@@hendrikdependrik1891 that doesn't mean he would let it happen. It is still in the Kingdom of the Netherlands so they will defend it like it like it's their homeland.
@@thommyneter168 because it is their homeland🙃 and i don't think a lot of the population would like for a foreign nation to take our land
woooh netherlands Nr. 1 yay
NL is a NATO member and Aruba is its soil. The US would be obligated to defend Aruba under Article V. American forces would be there, maybe not in about an hour, but soon.
I know what we're gonna do today, Ferb!

Hi You guys give me so much useful information thank you for your amazing videos
**reads title**
“Hey fern I think I know what we’re doing today”
Thankyou for this information
thanks for this tutorial I really needed it
You seem to have missed the fact that The Netherlands have Marines already in Aruba. And a naval base on one of their islands close by.
Still is a small force. A well organized paramilitary organization could take it
Love the channel keep up the interesting content
Love the information. Time to plan and execute
Finally a tutorial i can use!
BTW I still do enjoy your videos but... the following must be said:
I mean hold on... Previously you listed nato for Poland, but equally Aruba is protected by Nato as part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands which is also an EU member. Notable forces in the area would be permanent forces stationed on the island, ~800 soldiers on nearby dutch islands, French Guiana of the French, 2100 soldiers, and a bunch of UK protectorates. Even the initial invasion would be an uphill fight considering the forces of the Netherlands and later UK, France. And "in the long run" the United States, if they wouldn't immediately scramble some jets to support allies.
Due to that little mistake in research, I also noted that you said tuvalu has a gdp of 50 mil, (correct) and Elon musk ~297 billion (correct) but that's not 5x more that's literally 5000x more. Might want to double check your video's next time you upload them. Quite a few mistakes in this run...
finally someone points this out
Also note that is a comparison of gdp with net worth
Thank you. Very helpful
I love your channel keep up the great stuff
Yea Haiti is easy to invade you just gotta get passed the ~14 million people who refused to be subjugated given its history of defeating France and Spain with less

Actually the Dutch navy has a permanent base on Aruba. So it's not just 650 police officers, there are also soldiers present all the time

Good afternoon everyone! Let’s enjoy our days because you never know if it’s your last!
I'd have to disagree on Greenland, as Denmark is a nato country an invasion of Greenland would in fact trigger article 5 and the instant support of , nearby USA & Canada.. also the usaf &us Army mantain a skeleton force at Thule even now.
Definitely agree, and I'll tack on a nit pick. If you don't control finances, or more importantly foreign and defense policy you're a state, not a country. Invading Greenland is thus synonymous with invading Alaska. Easy to do but when the rest of the parent country gets involved... not so much
I'm form Greenland and we have hunter some of them knows how to shoot and hunter since they were 12
@@garion742 what if USA decides since Denmark refused to sell them Greenland so they will invade Greenland instead because there is oil? Denmark is obviously too weak to stop USA, Canada would probably scrap the obligations of NATO and stay neutral. No one knows what rest of Europe would do but it’ll probably end up in USA getting all of Greenland and the dissolving of nato

@@swesleyc7 yeah but its crazy becouse finland was under militarized back then and we won becouse the red army had equpment for summer tho it was winter
Putin taking notes
Food for thought:
As the neighbour island Curacao and Bonaire are also part of the Netherlands. That can see eachothers island during clear weather. They would be the first responders to help fight when an invading force enters there international waters. Eventhough our combined military force is quite small and could be defeated. Its more than a small police force that is mention in the video. We do have some costal defences, miltia and air force. So this force has to be atleast 100-150k strong to occupy all three island simultaneously. Why that large of a force? Because the population are not one to sit quietly so regular patrols and public disarment will be required.
Historically speaking the population as long as they aren’t mistreated won’t mind a regime change
This will be useful in the future
Meanwhile leaders of countries that are more likely to send troops to invade another country watching this: Noted.
I was watching one of your prison videos until this video came up in my noti
The first question to ask when choosing a nation to invade is: WHY??? Do a cost / benefit analysis... does the benefit warrant the cost? Then compare this CBA to other countries and make a Top 10 list. While creating the CBA, it will be necessary to consider the consequences of invasion. It would probably be reasonably inexpensive to invade a friendly country, and the raw benefit may be quite considerable... but the fact this country will no longer be friendly has its own cost and will likely reduce the benefit.
