20 Dollars is a lot Drew!
Europe's name, apart from ending in A in other languages, comes from the greek mythical character Europa, so it's just the English language changing things
Actually it would technically be the French language changing it, as it’s spelt the same way, and English gets a lot of its vocabulary from French.
Edit: sorry for being the “AcTuAlLy” guy 😅
@@appletree13 why's that? I didn't know
I wanted to comment the same, europe is only actually in English the name of the continent, just like all other continents Europa is a Latin name or comes from Greek so actually every continent ends on a ‘a’
@@xkolm Normandy.
English is a messed up language due to many, many cultures being part of the British Isles
Anglia, Saxony, Dutch/German (William of Orange), Norman (which is Norse + French), French, Norse, Danish, Latin (Roman Empire), Celtic, Britons etc
@@dejanbeep6293 No, it was fine. Then english puritan scolars were like: "Let's turn this germanic language into Latin by messing with vowels and inventing exceptions, just to say that our language is more intricate than French."
About Eurovision, to compete the countries have to be members of the Eurovision Broadcast Union (EBU). One requirement for being a member of the EBU is being in the European Broadcasting Area (EBA), which doesn't just include most of europe, (except some of most eastern part, meaning Kazakhstan isn't in it, despite being partially in europe), but also the surrounding of the Mediterranum and the caucasus. Associate Members can also join the contest, but only if they have been invited, that's how Australia is in. The US is also a associate member, so if the EBU ever invites them, they could take part.
As a russian i like this "EBU" thing :D
@@TheRifild nobody cares
(2:25) Also it's Europa in most languages, and also the name used in EU as a neutral name for the continent
"There is a Transylvania in Louisiana"
Thousands of Hungarians and Romanians preparing to race across the Atlantic to claim it for themselves.
😂😂😂😂 ....or maybe ... if there are two "Transylvania", they could have one each ?
@@francoise4678 well, Transylvania literally means "region across the forest", so there could be a few ;p
@@cpt.flamer7184 Yes but until now I had heard only about the one in Romania ( or is it Hungary ? 🤣🤣🤣🤣)
NO NOT THE HUNGARIANS!
.ik
I'm so happy that Drew addressed the true form of Latin America with all Spanish/Portuguese/French regions included. Maybe in another video he should check on Germanic America (the opposite where Guyana/Suriname, Anglo-America, Greenland and the Dutch islands are together for they speak germanic languages)
Yea Quebec is a part of Latin America technically.
the US has 65 million people of Hispanic and Latino ancestry, more than anywhere but Mexico or Brazil, and Spanish has been spoken in it since the 1500s. the true form of Latin America is debatable.

@@perfectallycromulent nah the only countries in latam are south america except for the guyanas and surinam, central america, some countries in the caribbean, and Mexico. it does not include the us but it does include puerto rico
@@nadismolina you can say that put that doesn't mean you're right. Plenty of people insist French speakers are included, for example.
The over the top satireness of Drew in these videos is the highlight of my day xd
The Eurovision map is wrong. It left out Kazakhstan, which is also a member state of the EBU, the European Broadcasting Union. And yes, a tiny part of Kazakhstan at the Northeastern banks of the Caspian Sea is actually in Europa. It also left out Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Lebanon, and Jordan, which are invited to Eurovision, but never participated. Lebanon and Tunisia actually were scheduled to participate, but withdrew because Israel was also participating.
As a russian i like this "EBU" thing :D
bro they really left just because israel was also in it lmfaoo
It also didn't include french guiana, which is sort of participating since it's a part of france
@@eesr That's what I wrote.
@@SiqueScarface i know iwas just saying that it was funny lol
In Hungarian, it's called Európa, but Antarktisz, so the map would be different in different languages
Almost the same in German (Europa, Antarktis)
In German, Asia is Asien, so it would be gone. Same with Antarctica as Antarktis. But Europa shines. The Ancient Greeks, from where we got the name Evrope, claim its origin to be Phoenician, where it would be erob, meaning "sinking" (or "the Land of the descending Sun").
@@SiqueScarface Moin, Australien/Ozeanien would also be gone.
In Polish;
Europa
Azja
Ameryka Północna
Ameryka Południowa
Afryka
Australia i Oceania
Antarktyda
"i" (pronounced "ee") and it means "and". Yes in Polish we call the continent "Australia and Oceania".
@@MatthiasDrinksH20 Right. The continents would just be Europa, Amerika and Afrika.
8:50 You could make the argument that the reason Quebec isn't included is because it's not independent(and is a region of a country which speaks a non-latin language as a whole)
French Guyana?
@@asag69 french guyana because is part of france a latin speaking language
@@thereynaldosan7695 Quebec, as a subdvision of a federation, mainly speaks French, and there are many monolingual French speakers in Quebec. It deserves to be included in Latin America
a worse offender is when I often find Suriname and Guyana included in Latin America.
English naming leaving Europe out-in Polish every continent ends in an A
German as well!
Well except of Asia oops 😂😂
In English all of the continents end with an A: North America, South America, Australia, Antartica, and Afro-Eurasia. In fact, the continent of Zealandia also ends in an A.
10:10 I like how Lake Balaton is highlighted in the middle of Europe dispite of that it is hillariously small. Greetings from Hungary 🇭🇺🇭🇺🇭🇺
The Netherlands managed to avoid WWI because they had good ties with both Germany and the allies. Queen Wilhelmina was befriended with German emperor Wilhelm, wich helped to avoid invasion, but because of the Dutch ties with Belgium and England, they also couldn’t join the Germans.
2:27 well, in some languages we say Europa instead of Europe. So it could still be included in that map.
In Indonesia we say Eropa
in russia we say Европа
We need to create a world wide referendum to give Kaliningrad to Czechia.
Drew's daily uploads are the only things keeping me going at this point. Thanks Drew for everything.
Ah yes, annexing Kaliningrad is a great joke. My granny's second husband used to make such jokes when I was little. He also had great stories from a place called "Stalingrad", and an old military medal with a funny cross on it. Died of old age ~20 years ago.
You mean Königsberg? the territory that was never annexed by Germany and had always been apart of Germany until 1945?
@@wisemankugelmemicus1701 It hasn’t always been a part of Germany, it was gained by Brandenburg which formed Prussia, the territories were settled by none german populations like poles and northerners
@@wisemankugelmemicus1701 oh Karaliaučiai!
That one person's childhood misunderstanding map is actually very interesting, something like that very much could've happened
When I was a kid, bc of Hetalia (Not in the Fandom just saw it a lot) I found out about Prussia and thought it still existed and was trying to find it on modern maps for years then thought Kaliningrad was Prussia but turned into Russia (I didn't learn about German history then).
You actually were on very good trope, this is exactly were historical Prussia used to be (main part anyway), before merged with Brandenburg.
Petition for Drew to do an entire video about Eurovision
2:18 In other languages the continent is called "Enropa" and thus ends with an "A".
So in German that map would look quite a bit different. Europa - here is the A but Asien - no A, Australien, also no A and finally, Antarktis no A endings here as well.
In French it would be even worse : nothing ends with an A : Europe ( for Europa ), Asie ( for Asia ), Australie ( for Australia ), Antarctique ( for Antarctica ) but also Afrique ( for Africa ) and Amérique ( for America ) and Océanie ( for Oceania ) 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@francoise4678 So just a sheet of white paper? Very easy to draw.
@@crunchyscorpio9186 true ....
In Spanish Everything ends in A.
America, Australia, Oceania, Europa, Africa, Asia, Antártida, Antártica.
Everything. A’s everywhere.
@@DominikaHare and in French nowhere ha ha that is funny ...
9:44 almost spat my trap soda everywhere at this part about them fleeing to Kazakhstan 😂
5:43 you are welcome anytime Drew, speaking for all Morrocans :)
It just randomly came to my mind that not to long ago drew would swear regularly but know it’s more family friendly
i have never been on board with anything as much as i have with giving kaliningrad to czechia
The vampires are coming for the guy who put Romania next to China.
Being from Argentina, I can say for sure we all thought Transylvania was located in Pennsylvania at least up until we were 16 years old.
In my school, they have that map but made a few changes. They actually make Europe stretch out all the way to India and getting all of the Middle East, the others are the exact same map that you showed in the video.
Almost all the countries of europe joined the eurovision but austrialia was a guest
My friend loves ur videos
5:28 cant wait for vatican city to join so we can see the pope breakdance
Romania in Asia be having Vampires with samurai's swords geez. I want to see a film based on that.
I still cant believe that the Czech Republic annexed Kaliningrad from Russia lol
4:10 As a Pennsylvanian, I can confirm that we work very hard to sweep information regarding vampires under the rug
I'm also one and I also can confirm I see them everyday under my bed
In Norway we say “Europa” for europe so that’s technically wrong
The thing with the Eurovision song contest at least used to be that the countries in which said Eurovision channel was legally one of the channel operators could participate, and ever since satellites the maximum planetary broadcast range has been something like 90% of the surface area so the issue with most countries not being eligible to participate are political first, unknown second and logistical third.
When I was not a geography expert I thought Uganda was in Europe
Well the exchange for Andorra which is in Africa right?

1:53 a lot of these replacements were, like Jeff Gordon who they are replacing, famous drivers in that region. In Australia, it was Mark "Frosty" Winterbottom, an Australian Supercars champion, who did the cameo
2:18 If you pronounce Europe in Swedish for example. It would end with an A. (Omg i did not know of this thing even though i live there)
or in german
That is the case for most of the european languages, for example Italian, Polish, Finnish or Czech
Same thing in arabic
Spanish included
Yes, but in Sweden we say Asien, Oceanien and Antarktis. Just four continents ending wit an A ...
Drew and I simultaneously saying “Thank you” when the map of Latin America came under with Quebec
In 11:35 Drew will Collab with jacksuckatgeography
2:20 so if your continent ends with a, you live in a safe continent.
1:01 +1000 Social credit
xD
I was going to rant about how you don't have to be a part of Europe to be in Eurovision but other people have already explained.
I think most Europeans believe their (pseudo)continent is called Europa. Local spelling differs a bit here and there, but the name ending on A is the most common I believe. Only exceptions I can think of besides the Brits are the French
Europe is a subcontinent of Eurasia, whatever that means.
@@questionmaker5666 Eurasia is one continent, made of two smaller continents, which are divided based on culture and shared history.
@@lorinctoth9402 wrong, a continent is a container of people, there is a wide gap between asia and europe where there are zero people
@@jamesgoldring1052 It’s, in theory, divided by The Ural mountains. It doesn’t have that much to do with the quantity of people.
@@DominikaHare but but but
But people made the map
0:28 Largest Czech TV channel isn't Voyo, ČT (Česká Televize or Czech Telivision) is much larger.
Drew please vlog your trip unless it is too much of a hassle. I am sure many of us would enjoy seeing you explore the beautiful continent if Europe

In polish europe is called "Europa", thus, poland disagrees.
Finland agrees to disagree with our "Eurooppa".

Turkey is Europe
No Turkey Is Asia!
Me:No Turkey Is middle east
In turkish all of them starts with a ends with a: Avrupa, Amerika, Asya, Avustrulya, Afrika, Antarktika.
Europe in Czech is Evropa, and in many other langauges it is Europa (greek and albanian are the only one i can think of), so all continents end with A according to Czech, Albanian, and Greek.
Very similar languages.
1:42 bro if anyone gets the one that that Nigel character is based off of, your a real legend.

I love it how romania always has a cameo in ur videos somehow lmao
That isnt all of latin america because Saint Pierre and Miquelon isnt labeled
2:00 - well it's good we call it here "Europa", so the only ones missing would be the UK, which wanted to go away anyway ...

The four continents. america, australia, antartica and afro-euraisa
TBF, a lot of Australians think of themselves the way Eurovision's map is. Late 20th century a ton of immigration from western and southern Europe.
TBH, I believe that 7 countries are in Eurasia:
Russia
Kazakhstan
Turkïye
Cyprus
Georgia
Armenia
Azerbaijan
About continents, in Slovakia we have 2 distinctions. One is "kontinent" which is continent and its Europe, Asia, America, Antarctica, Africa and Australia/Oceania, and then we have "svetadiel" which literally means "part of the world" and thats Eurasia, North America, South America, Antarctica, Australia and Africa. So it's always 6 and you always know what are we talking about.
That's strange that the Eurasia "svetadiel" includes 2 "kontinent"s while the America "kontinent" includes 2 "svetadiel"s. The definitions seem to be at least as arbitrary as in English (or French by the way).
@@noefillon1749 In Czech we have it too, it was explained to us that svetadiel (světadíl in czech) is based on the tectonic plates, which is why it is Eurasia and the Americas are separate, since Eurasia is one big chunk of Earth but Americas are on two separate plates. Meanwhile continents are historic distinctions made by humans,
@@NonPeerReviewedSass Oh interesting! I was going to say in the US we almost learn the opposite. Continents (and subcontinents) are based on tectonic plates with Europe getting a pass because of Eurocentrism we have in the states. But like you would say the Indian Subcontinent to refer to the tectonic plate but refer to South Asia/East Asia/the Middle East to refer to the regions. Europe is what throws it off. I feel like we should go with the tectonic plates (whatever you want to lable it continents/regions/etc) because when its done by historic distinction different places can have different distinctions (no one but people trying to be super politically correct in the US would say America is a thing referring to North and South America (they might say the Americas)) but the fact that Europe wouldn't be a continent anymore makes that a no go.
Cant wait to mabey meet you!
Not real
The reason Australia is in Eurovision is because they’ve had some of the highest viewing figures for aaaages! Then in 2015 (60th edition of the contest) they were invited and has been invited back ever since.
It is tricky joining the contest though. The country needs to be an active member of the EBU, which is a more tough process
When I was a child, I thought when it snowed, it snowed everywhere at the same time.
Australia has been invited to participate in Eurovision, but if it wins, it will not be able to organize the event except in partnership with a European broadcaster.
Italy partecipated to the ESC from 1956 to 1981 from 1983 to 1985 from 1987 to 1997 and from 2011 to now.
One of my biggest pet peeves is when people say “oh Australia’s a country and a continent”
Why because this is true?
@@JimmiAlli Oceania is the continent. Australia is just one country in the continent itself. I say this as an Australian btw - this is how we were taught in schools.
@LBell I learnt that Australia is the country/continent, and Oceania is the whole Australia and Pacific islands, and I'm from Australia too
Pennsylvania really is the Transylvania of America. We've got Centralia, which is basically a portal to hell. We've got PA Dutch hex signs on all the buildings to keep the evil spirits away. We've got that magical fortune-telling groundhog. And half the buildings are haunted.
That small distance between Australia and New Zealand that you attempted to shrug off is nearly 4200 kms. You can do the conversion
Yasss new Video! This is the only purpose in my life 😂
0:15 yes, there is drew, bosnia uses euro but not much bc noone ever comes back and those that do return back to germany afer a few days
Drew’s vids are the best
There is s Transylvania University In Lexington Kentucky. I love Drew’s look at various maps. They always fascinated me.
9:34 the Romanians are having a seizure listening to that rn.
2:25 in my country europe its called europa and asia is called asien so it really depends on the language also
‘Looks like France has been split in half.’ Vichy France is back😳
in norwingan it is called europa
at 10:51 i can say as someone who lives in new hampshire, the further we are from massachusetts the better, so yeah this works
Forget Morocco. I wanna see Drew go to the Balkans, but Greece specifically because it’s the most western-friendly.
and maybe one of your country ball plushies you could make USSR
Also notice the strategic placement of Newest Hampshire to occlude Gary IN from their state. What remains of IN should cede it to Chicago.
I think Kaliningrad should be split between Poland, Czechia and Germany for obvious reasons.
I'm out of the loop on this one. care to elaborate on the meme?
I also take this kind of personally because the house my grandfather grew up in, that my great grandfather built is still standing there, Russians living in it. They never paid, just took it from us.
I don't care what country owns the land, but I want justice for my family personally.
@@DubmanicGetFlazed I think Kaliningrad was built by a Czech king a long time ago according to someone else and because Russia tried to annex parts of Ukraine, the Czechian Kaliningrad meme became popular in NATO countries and the reason for Poland and Germany is because East Prussia was populated by Poles about 1000 years ago and it was populated by Germans after that for several hundred years.
So I looked up the ancient history. I am surprised that this meme is based on history because it did not sound at all right to me that it is polish or Czechian. The city Konigsberg was NAMED after a BOHEMIAN king, Ottokar II however it was founded by the Tutonic Knights. Germans. There was a Naitive Old prussian people living there before the teutonic knights.
There were never any Poles living there before that. Although before the teutonic knights the poles tried to invade several times but could not beat the naitive prussians. The only time it was under polish control was from 1466-1525 when it was a polish fiefdom but still mostly germans living there. In 1525 the teutonic knights reformed to Lutheranism and the state became incorperated along with brandenburg as prussia. However, it was still technically under polish control because the polish king married into the house of brandenburg.
In 1656 Prussia briefly fell into the hands of sweden. before returning to poland. And in 1567 after 200 years it fell firmly back into German hands again under Fredrick William.
That is... until WWII when the Russians chased us from our homes.
For those that want to know, Eurovision is based on the EBU membership, not on being part of Europe 😂
6:08 as someone from illinois thank you for making illinois interesting for once
0:25 from January 1st 2023 Croatia will also use euro
Amazing keep it up
Europa? But yeah that "strange definition" of continents is interesting - because we DO talk about North America and Central America, and Middle East deserves to exist as much as Europe (but give it a better name?) and I think I'd say "Australasia" for PNG + NZ
I have some info on why Australia is in Eurovision. They participated one year as a joke and now it’s become a serious thing
