This is such a good concept! News is too heavily focused on "What's the most important thing happening today?" when what's often more important to be aware of is "What are the couple hundred things that happened over the course of a year?" There's clearly so much bubbling under the surface, that people should know about.
Yes , keeping abreast of important global events is such a drag . So much better to hear about the unusual mating habits of a species of frog once a year .
This is amazing, I can't imagine the time and effort to put this all together. Here is to a good new year mate, hopefully one with a slightly more diverse (and positive) news cycle.
Economy of European states during the Napoleonic Wars please, I did some research and found a lot of interesting effects of Napoleon's continental system in import/export prices of spices and coffee, and the effect of America's economy during the War of 1812, which was said to have made salt as expensive as gold during the war
@IKtheVS the dude asked for citations, not a passive aggressive response that is basically the same as your first. Maybe provide the sources for your information instead of just constantly attacking this channel, it’s creator, and everyone that disagrees with you in any way
@IKtheVS Do you think corruption is inherent to Africans? Do you understand that perhaps a lot of the shit the continent is going through has been a direct result of imperialism of the West over the past centuries? Do you know what happened when marxist leader Thomas Sankara came to power in Burkina Faso? He vaccinated millions of people, literacy rates increased by vast amounts, and 10 million trees were planted in just four years time whilst he fought for women's rights and a decent standard of living for all. He only accepted a modest military wage himself and demanded that government officials were to only travel second class on airplanes among many other things. He did that by rejecting every cent of foreign aid offered to the country. I am convinced some African countries can do just fine if the west were to leave them alone.
Impressive feat indeed. Quite honestly, I would never have thought it could happen. A reason to be proud, even more taking into consideration how hard the country has had it (the genocide and the geopolitics...)
when ever i see the media in the u.s. talking about some dumb celebrity, i always think to myself, i know there's gotta be something more important going on some where.
Although the video did have a few minor errors, and that's not including mispronunciation of some words, which is understandable. Despite this, clearly a lot of effort was put into this and the video was well made.
@An0nyMusic I don’t think the How to Stop a Wildfire video was made in 2020 either, but their point was that, like the Simpsons, his past episodes “predicted the future”
Chernobyl fire sounds way more interseting. Also the fact that the major news channels didn't cover this is concerning. I think the russians really want to cook up some Putinlinium.
@Ken Deeks i'm sorry to rain on your parade, but they really suck. i use subtitles, and the automatic ones don't have any punctuation, which makes it hard to follow sentences. it's basically impossible when multiple people are speaking too :( on top of that, if it's any accent that isn't English or American then they don't work very well
Another slight correction would be India's GDP per capita fell behind Bangladesh since Bangladesh retained its steady growth while India took a big hit.
This was awesome, I would genuinely love a quarterly or bi-monthly version of this, really shows there's a lot more to world than it seems, and it ain't all bad.
The Colombian mayor, the man who sailed the Atlantic to see his elderly father and the inscribed wedding rings being returned made me cry. Thank you Wendover, this is an incredible video taking a break from the C word.
Wendover specifically said about how they pretty much can’t have a list everyone agrees with. I’m sorry the world won’t recognise Taiwan, but wendover has shown they do in other videos
They don't want to be banned in the PRC do they. PS Taiwan is a country and is the rightful nation of China, but the mainland is being controlled by communists.
THIS is a brilliant idea! You should do this every year, as so many important stories go unnoticed, especially in Western media as they centre the news around the country they're from. I'd love to see this become an annual thing!
Seconded. Wendover is doing what he does best, and he does it better than anyone else could do. This is exactly the content that I love to see that you don't see a whole lot of.
Exactly. Who needs to hear about corruption or a new government when you have Mozart's violin? Big news indeed lol. Wendover clearly brings the most important news to the fron tpage.
I love the fact that Citroën named their car aimed at young people "Ami". It literraly means "Friend", I guess it's a vehicle meant to pickup your friends
Wow, You really must do this each year! We try to keep up with news but our local and National news is so saturated with domestic issues that we seldom have the chance to get these fascinating news items from around the world. Bravo!
It's such an odd thing to confuse too. Even if you didn't know that meth is an amphetamine, you'd definitely know it's a stimulant, not an opioid. Also when have you ever seen an opioid in crystal form? It's just mind boggling to me.
@@joeyjankins I stand corrected - I didn't realize "narcotic" had an actual technical definition, I just assumed it was the standard government "drugs are bad, mmkay" term.
@@michaelgruar5141 in Germany we have the word "Narkose" which means anaesthesia. "Narkotika" is German for narcotics meaning drugs that knock you out.
Was gonna point out same thing. Normally on-point content from Wendover, but methamhphetamine is not an opioid and belongs to an entirely different class of drug.
Hello! I’d like to clarify about the ABS-CBN shutdown in the Philippines. The media network was forced off the air by the National Telecommunications Council last May 2020 amidst the COVID-19 Pandemic (despite them promising not too), with Duterte’s Congress voting to not renew the ABS-CBN Franchise. ABS-CBN not only hires 11,000 employees throughout the Philippines but is relied on by millions of Filipinos nationwide for timely news, information, entertainment, AND even relief operations. There have been reports of residents unable to evacuate in time for typhoons ever since the shutdown. The shutdown of the network comes as Press Freedom is being attacked on all corners due to their critical coverage of Duterte’s drug war and ever growing tyrannical rule. Traditional, online, and progressive news outlets like Inquirer, Rappler, and Altermidya also face attacks from the government.
@@juannieto2559 they also didn't talk about Brexit in the UK. I think they were deliberately trying to pick lesser known stories, not just the next most important after the pandemic.
@Shotmanz Aloha. Ya know, I gather people for a good cause: I wanna provide people with Links leading to bad or toxic people. Mobber, Racists, Sexists, Bullies, more. I got the Links and i need help with reporting them. TH-cam is in a bad state and i think you heard of that. Many complain about it, its strike-system and its CEO: Susan. But... I mean... complaining about the State of the world is nice and dandy, but... how about acting? Doing something? So i made a Wiki where i store Links for all to use. You can at least pre-emptive 'block user' regarding the Racists and all those, but you can also do one thing more and report them, so YT becomes a better place. I know this was random and also overly summarized, but think about it and consider. You can make a difference. Means: I gathered and confirmed many Links. And made a Wiki to provide the Public with them. Wanna help, too?
@@VeronicaRodriguez-hz1ib Dude. Is Your Browser glithcing out or is this seriously the best comment you could come up with? I mean, if you dont wanna talk, then dont talk - but be an Adult about it.
Excellent video! I've been a viewer for a long time, but only decided to comment because: 14:41 Methamphetamine is NOT an opioid. Fentanyl is, however. 16:50 I heard of this story, and I find it very inspiring! 19:13 Happy to see this back in its home. Hobby Lobby indeed had a history of questionable acquisitions for their museum, including forgeries and potentially stolen artefacts.
Sam: gonna list countries in order of most to least populous Me, a Finnish-Swiss person who’s curious to know what news stories he chose for Finland and Switzerland:
I get that you were only going for the UN list. But the fact that you skipped Taiwan, one of the only countries in the world where the pandemic is actually a non-issue, is kind of sad
@@Spartan-sz7km I’d watch that. A video all about mask policy, contact tracing, and of course flight regulations (what’s a Wendover video without talking about airplanes?) and how it basically allowed Taiwan to virtually sidestep COVID
I literlly hoped that he will cover the news that a small austrian town named Fucking was renamed to Fugging Few days later somebody sprayed the Sign so there was again Fucking
@@leo-2b2t51 the mercator projection makes my country smaller than it really is lmao, still the 4th most populous in the world and its roughly the size of the USA.
14:41 ”opioids like methamphetamine and fentanyl”, methamphetamine is not a opioid. 🙂 Great video anyway! You have to appreciate the effort to research all of this! 😃😃
Just checking to see if anyone else caught that. Nope, methamphetamine isn't even a narcotic. Methadone is an opioid, I know sometimes when people hear that 'meth' part it can be confusing to people who aren't as familiar. I've experienced that confusion from others myself, being a methadone patient. You know what? I missed the giant banners that said "METHAMPHETAMINE" AND "STIMULANT" in different languages.
@@evientually I second that! Methadone patient here and ironically enough, I have even heard other patients at my clinic referring to their methadone as “meth” but the few I know are from the city where methamphetamine didn’t really become popular yet. Anyway, getting 2 similar sounding drugs confused doesn’t affect my opinion of Wendover Productions at all. I absolutely LOVE this channel!
@@wickedguitar99 they do the same thing though they (meth) get to the brain faster than any drugs leading to addiction. Funnily enough, people do get addicted to amphetamine and even sugar. Anything can be dangerous without intake moderation. Addition of a methyl group makes it more efficent neurotransmitter
Belarus: **has the biggest political unrest since the country's creation** Sam: they wanna build a canal Amazing video and I enjoyed every minute of it, but some of these new stories choices got me cracking up 🤣
@@zlajac78 It's the original Myanmar flag adopted during it's independence. The white shape in the canton is not the KMT flag like Taiwan's but a different symbol instead.
I love this concept, and your videos are generally perfect so I have to! 14:42 Methamphetamine isn't an opioid. It's an amphetamine. 19:27 Provenance, not providence 22:18 Even the latinization wasn't exactly an "influence", as the Bolsheviks initially thought romanizing was the way to go forward (in the context of Uzbekistan and other Muslim communities, it was hoped to make them more Soviet, less Arab). It was finally mandated by the USSR after Ataturk latinized Turkish, but Stalin then had everything switched to Cyrillic anyway. lol. I noticed a few more but I was cooking saffron rice and hot wings.
@@Irresponsibilityy I've got a tried and true system of par-cooking, then freezing, then the final super-high temp cook so they're always crispy outside and moist inside. so I'm pretty sure they were good. But I think the funniest part, is that I'm par-cooking some wings right now. No saffron though :-)
I think the most newsworthy thing in the Philippines is the fact that a 13 year old girl hacked the House of Representatives Twitter account and posted that it was six hours until her birthday. The speaker then had to address cyber security concerns. Ill link an article below: interaksyon.philstar.com/trends-spotlights/2020/10/13/178597/a-birthday-girls-countdown-uploaded-on-house-twitter-account-as-speakership-row-continues/
"an old man died after doing hard work with a 4lb hammer" OK, I'm gonna say this, he wasn't frail at all and worked hard even though he was the oldest man alive
This remind me how they finally set foot to my country, a beautiful archipelago and then spaniards came and then the fire nations came. Setting a final 350 years of slavery from the dutchand most mean slavery from Japan for 3.5 years just because of our exotic spices..
Hey Wendover, here's a funny mistake you made in this vid: the English subtitles abruptly disappear from 26:52 to 27:49 (Cameroon to North Korea), but all the subtitles from before suddenly flash on screen one after the other towards the end of the North Korea segment (around 28:20)
WOW, Wendover! The amount of research and video editing to do Parts 1 & 2 - 2 hours! I estimate approx. 4 weeks of work. Incredible. What a job! I was in Saqqara when the archeologists were there. There was a BBC crew filming a team from Oxford University in one of the tombs when I was allowed to gain entrance (at a small price). Thank YOU!
well, they probably don't extradite over that, so if wasn't going to be any other kind of hotel. But I am excited to read what he thinks about the Thai jail.
@@0011-b9j Almost every country in the world recognized Taiwan until PR China started using their economy to threaten and pressure other countries into not recognizing Taiwan. The CCP is an authortarian virus.
This is one of my favorite videos you've done, because there's so much news out there that no one is covering. Thank you! I wish you did this quarterly (ideally a handful once a week, but yeah...).

Hello! I’d like to clarify about the ABS-CBN shutdown in the Philippines. The media network was forced off the air by the National Telecommunications Council last May 2020 amidst the COVID-19 Pandemic (despite them promising not too), with Duterte’s Congress voting to not renew the ABS-CBN Franchise.
ABS-CBN not only hires 11,000 employees throughout the Philippines but is relied on by millions of Filipinos nationwide for timely news, information, entertainment, AND even relief operations. There have been reports of residents unable to evacuate in time for typhoons ever since the shutdown.
The shutdown of the network comes as Press Freedom is being attacked on all corners due to their critical coverage of Duterte’s drug war and ever growing tyrannical rule. Traditional, online, and progressive news outlets like Inquirer, Rappler, and Altermidya also face attacks from the government.
Can you do this every year, this is amazing 🙂
