Question of the Day: What is Estonia famously known for? (A.) Having the most castles per square kilometer in Europe. (B.) Being the birthplace of Skype. (C.) Hosting the world's largest medieval festival. (D.) Being the land of 1,000 lakes.
Estonia’s low population density, often perceived as ‘emptiness’, is actually one of its greatest strengths! The ‘emptiness’ offers space for innovation, serenity, and a unique lifestyle that embraces sustainability. Estonia’s digital advancements and community-driven ethos demonstrate how a small population can have a massive impact 👌🏼. Perhaps this sparsity is less about emptiness and more about the richness of space and the possibilities it creates. Truly inspiring!
3:28 "In estonia every breath is a reminder of what the world once was and what it can still be, here the air doesnt just sustain you it rejuvenates you wrapping you in a sense of peace that feels impossible to find anywhere else" This just makes me want to visit the country even more.🤍
Estonia's picturesque landscapes and rich history are undeniably captivating, we must not overlook the shadows cast by its past. The Soviet occupation left scars that still linger in the collective memory of its people. Can we truly celebrate the beauty of Tallinn without acknowledging the pain of those who suffered under foreign rule? The cobblestones may tell tales of resilience, but they also bear witness to a history of oppression.
Scars indicate the true beauty of struggle in the face of adversity. They can be used as a reminder soliciting reminiscence of the rich history enshrined in a battle for independence and future prosperity! Yes the Soviets did a lot, however, today Estonia has its sovereignty.
@@robertomeneghetti6215 Free Estonia had arguably the most tolerant views towards jews in all of Europe. Jews enjoyed cultural autonomy and there was no systematic discrimination by the government nor the people. The state even took measures against growing anti-semitism within Baltic-German communities in the early 30s. Everything jews had built under free Estonia was dismantled within a year when Russia forced itself back in. To be fair, they repressed everybody, not just jews.
Kihnu Island's matriarchal society is a fascinating aspect of Estonia's culture, yet it raises questions about gender roles in a modern context. While we celebrate the women who preserve traditions, we must also ask: how do these traditions adapt in a world striving for gender equality? Are we romanticizing a past that may not align with contemporary values? As we explore Estonia's rich cultural tapestry, let's engage in a dialogue about how these traditions can evolve, ensuring that they empower rather than confine. The future of culture lies in its ability to adapt and grow.
I concur with you, truly Estonia brings out the essence of SDG 5 which is Gender equality, and I believe it shows the nexus as to how each individual has their own unique strengths. This can be well implemented without taking us back to the dark ages.
Yes in 1940 Estonia was annexed by the Soviet Union to form the Estonian Soviet Socialist Republic (ESSR), and then in 1991 it gained its independence to become what is known today as Estonia.
You forget telling about my industrial Ida-Virumaa where is everything monumental, where is tons of artificial mountains, deserts and canyons. And you forget telling about strong american influence to Estonia
@5XTRAVEL Yeah. Estonia and USA is friends since 1970's. USA helped to us get independence in the 1991 from the Soviet Union. And today Estonia looks like as another state of USA
Absolutely true but also as NATO Allies, the United States and Estonia work together to strengthen Transatlantic security, support counterterrorism operations, and fortify cyber defenses.but I find that odd, because I know Estonia was annexed by the Soviet Union in 1940 during World War 2, so maybe the US wanted to help them during the Cold War?
Tartu, often regarded as Estonia's cultural heart, beautifully blends its rich academic heritage with a vibrant arts scene. The city's youthful energy, fuelled by its historic university, fosters innovation and creativity, making it a dynamic hub where tradition meets modernity. Exploring Tartu seems like it will be so fun! Especially that upside down building.
And its melania trump birth country!!Donald Trump should make Estonia greater!! He can send there the migrants he doesn't want!since,u say it's half empty

To answer your question: (b.) being the birthplace of Skype?
Emptiest Balkan country!
Balkan? Maybe "Baltic"...
@@robertomeneghetti6215 which greatly dimishes the credibility of this video.
@xwiirastusx it is credible, give it a watch
This is lazy, AI-generated slop. Estonia a Balkan country??
It’s Baltic, thank you for the correction, the thumbnail has been corrected.
And its melania trump birth country!!Donald Trump should make Estonia greater!!
He can send there the migrants he doesn't want!since,u say it's half empty
Hahahaha 😂 nice one! How did you know she’s from Estonia? I thought she was Russian
But will that people accept them?
Good inquiry
A lot if Estonians of Russian ethnicity
