    Btw Sweden and Switzerland are not the same place and the "small country" in the middle of Romania is Romania I believe it is just a map of languages and the other "small country" to the east of Romania is in Moldova which speaks Romanian and Russian I believe. Also i believe F.Y.R Macedonia stands for Former Yugoslav republic of Macedonia (if I am wrong anyone feel free to correct me)>

    The Iron Curtain was a deadly, almost impassable border that divided Western European countries and Eastern European countries in 2 halves (the Berlin Wall was also part of the Iron Curtain). Europe was divided into 2 parts for almost 50 years. This division arose when the Soviet Union (Russia's communist empire, founded in 1917/1922) brought its tanks to Berlin in World War II to defeat Nazi Germany. On the way to Berlin, the Soviet Union annexed + occupied the Eastern European countries and introduced "Soviet Communism" in the countries. In addition, in 1939, shortly before the start of World War II, Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union had agreed in the Hitler-Stalin Pact to divide Eastern Europe between themselves. While 🇪🇪 Estonia, 🇱🇻 Latvia, 🇱🇹 Lithuania and 🇲🇩 Moldova were annexed by the Soviet Union and incorporated as Soviet provinces into the Soviet Empire, Czechoslovakia, 🇵🇱 Poland, 🇧🇬 Bulgaria, 🇷🇴 Romania, 🇭🇺 Hungary and the German Democratic Republic (GDR/East Germany) became communist doll states of the Soviet Union (called Warsaw Pact). 🇺🇦 Ukraine, 🇧🇾 Belarus, 🇬🇪 Georgia, 🇦🇲 Armenia, 🇦🇿 Azerbaijan and the Central Asian countries (🇰🇿 Kazakhstan, 🇰🇬 Kyrgyzstan, 🇹🇯 Tajikistan, 🇺🇿 Uzbekistan, 🇹🇲 Turkmenistan) have already been 1917 - 1920 (approx.) annexed by the Soviet Union. At the end of the 1980s, the Soviet Union fall apart + the communist puppet dictatorships were overthrown in the other Eastern European countries. Furthermore, there were two other communist/socialist states, the also communist 🇦🇱 Albania and Yugoslavia, which were not doll states of the Soviet Union. Yugoslavia was founded as a socialist state by Josip Broz Tito at the end of WW2 after he and his partisans liberated the entire territory of Yugoslavia (Yugoslavia was a kingdom before WW2) from the Nazi occupiers in a guerrilla war. Tito became the leader/dictator of the state and broke ties with the Soviet Union in the 1950s, establishing Titoism, a particular path between capitalism and socialism. Tito was probably one of the most popular dictators in history, who held together the many different ethnic groups within Yugoslavia with his steel strength alone. Tito finally died in 1980 and 10 years later Yugoslavia was engulfed in a series of bloody civil wars in which all ethnic groups fought for independence, eventually breaking Yugoslavia apart. Furthermore, Czechoslovakia split into 🇨🇿 Czech Republic and 🇸🇰 Slovakia. 24 new countries emerged from the collapse of the Eastern Bloc (Soviet Union, Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia): 🇪🇪 Estonia, 🇱🇻 Latvia, 🇱🇹 Lithuania, 🇧🇾(⬜🟥⬜) Belarus, 🇺🇦 Ukraine, 🇲🇩 Moldova, 🇬🇪 Georgia 🇦🇲 Armenia, 🇦🇿 Azerbaijan, 🇰🇿 Kazakhstan, 🇺🇿 Uzbekistan, 🇹🇯 Tajikistan, 🇰🇬 Kyrgyzstan, 🇹🇲 Turkmenistan, 🇸🇮 Slovenia, 🇭🇷 Croatia, 🇧🇦 Bosnia and Herzegovina, 🇷🇸 Serbia, 🇲🇪 Montenegro, 🇲🇰 North Macedonia (Macedonia), 🇽🇰 Kosovo, 🇨🇿 Czech Republic, 🇸🇰 Slovakia and 🇷🇺 Russia. Also, 🇵🇱 Poland, Czechoslovakia (🇨🇿 Czech Republic, 🇸🇰 Slovakia), 🇭🇺 Hungary, 🇧🇬 Bulgaria, 🇷🇴 Romania and 🇦🇱 Albania became democratic states again + West Germany and East Germany were reunited to form 🇩🇪 Germany. Today there are only 2 dictatorships left in Europe, namely 🇧🇾 Belarus (dictator Aleksander Lukashenko) and 🇷🇺 Russia (dictator Vladimir Putin). 🇦🇿 Azerbaijan, 🇰🇿 Kazakhstan, 🇺🇿 Uzbekistan, 🇹🇯 Tajikistan and 🇹🇲 Turkmenistan are also dictatorships, while 🇰🇬 Kyrgyzstan, 🇬🇪 Georgia and 🇦🇲 Armenia are democracies. 🇭🇺 Hungary and 🇷🇸 Serbia are half-democratic/half-autocratic.

    @thatamericangirl - the map was one of languages and as you might know the EU countries are somewhat mixed in languages - the spot in Romania is a minority group called "secui" who speak Hungarian - on the map the color of them is the same as for Hu. The other one next to Romania might show the "gagauzi" which are also a minority group, but inside Moldova. They speak their own language that is a turkic language. There are even more examples of people speaking a language, but yet not being represented by a state or country ex: the Roma people.

    I think the block in the us is because one broadcaster bought the rights to show esc in the us so don’t think it’s the EBU’s fault.
    I like having different languages and cultures in esc, but knowing many go after which songs they understand, so English using countries get an unfair advantage.
    The Norwegian participant last year (TIX) usually sing in Norwegian, and I think you’d like a lot of his songs, but he chose English so everyone would see the meaning.
    Conchita Wurst (Rise Like a Phoenix) was Austrian not Sweden.
    FYR Macedonia = former Yugoslavian republic of Macedonia later changed to north Macedonia. I had an assignment about them in primary school. 😅
    The system change in 2016 was not as big as it might seem. You had both juries and public votes before too, but up until that point you combined them so each country had only one set of points not two. The most known records with the old system was probably most 12 points (or most countries first place) Euphoria by Loreen from Sweden 🇸🇪 and most points Fairytale by Alexander Rybak from Norway 🇳🇴 though we also hold the record for most last places. 😅

    I understand you like when countries are singing in their native language, but we would like to win. And singing in swedish (I’m from Sweden) most likely won’t allow you to do that. In the olden days they had rules for language usage and the countries that sang in english and french won way more than the others.

    • @erykbaradziej3639
      @erykbaradziej3639 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      The problem is that English is nowadays a "lingua franca" i. e. an international language and in some way it is melodic (it can be well interwoven with tones thus making a nice sound). On the other hand English became a snobbish thing so many artists from non-English speaking countries use it to achieve fame. Unfortunately it's just the case of Sweden as their singers use only English to compose and sing songs as if Swedish weren't exist. As a Pole I'm proud that in my country there're plenty of Polish songs in the Polish language and they're quite good. It's a pity that they are almost not known outside Poland. Not only Sweden but most countries don't have songs in their languages. So Poland is an exception.

    If the native languages are used, then there is less chance of winning because most popular music is sung in English. Songs with both often do very well.
    I'd like to think that if its a good song, it could win, but there have been winners that have been awful!
    The political voting is irritating, they try to sort it, but it will always happen to a point.
    Getting nil points was hilarious!
    We mostly, take it less seriously than a lot of other countries and will be hosting next year on Ukraine's behalf.
    Ukraine's win was a political one, but no one cared and it was a good song and we wanted to show our support
    I know what you mean about the simplicity of the earlier contests, I think the staging can override the songs sometimes, these days
    That was fun!

And the countries with similar languages gave her points each other!
