- The #Caprivi strip which extends from the north eastern tip of #Namibia is one of the most peculiar and striking geography features of any border in the world. The story behind this border goes into the scramble for #Africa during which the German and British Empire forged a treaty, giving Namibia its unique shape. Today, the Caprivi Strip is a reminder to this turbulent time of world history. Check out my other videos if you want to learn more about Geography and History topics.

Plus Mandela handed over the exclave of Walvis Bay in 1994 that was always a possession of the Cape Colony, making the Prince Edward and Islands the only off shore possessions of South Africa.
So your wish is that my country should have remained a colony? And what's the Cape colony? does it still exist? is this a joke? I bet you are not an African that's why. Nothing was handed to us boy, we fought a bush war which forced your apartheid SANDF to flee back to where they came from, by 1990 we were independent. It was never theirs ever to hand over to us. Mandela was in jail when we got independence. Hendrik Witbooi, Samuel Maherero, Mandume Ndemufayo etc this is Namibia's true pioneers.
Wonderful video. As a Namibian, it is always great to see foreign productions on our beautiful country. A slight correction though. At 4:48 you state that the strip is "inhospitable" and show a very arid landscape. Though a large part of Namibia is arid with little flora, the Caprivi Strip is one of, if not the most lush section of the country. Comparable to many equatorial states
Thank you for the kind words, and thanks for the correction! During my research I found the the Germans considered it "inhospitable" and stopped my research there, I should have double checked that :)
Just wanted to say that I came across your channel recently and I must say, I am very impressed with you content and the quality of it. Also, your voice and accent, has almost an ASMR feeling to it. Very calming and I am also learning new things. Subbed to the channel now, keep the fantastic content coming.
Thanks for the kind words, I'll do my best 😀
Tremendous video!
Very helpful
good video. 😁🎥
Nice!
Please @Factspark could you do an in-depth video of the moon? Yes, I know there are a few, but they still leave me with insatiable questions, like: is the moon really a part of the earth, or, is there 'ownership' of the moon's land area with regard to nations on earth- is there a council of sorts?
What is the best geographical point on the moon, to create a 'grow garden", within the moon's oribit around the earth, in relation to the sun; by that I mean for photo-receptors in plants to produce sustenance for human consuption.
There has been conversations of mining the moon surface for He³; is it on going or what are the Earthly disputes?
Tell us if the moon has, like the earth, 'swapped polarity' in its history, albeit with much less gravitation force.
Thank you nevertheless, I hope you have a lovely weekend.
Interesting, but you should let us know your sources of the info and stock footage 👍
There is no desert in the Caprivi like your video suggests. It is savanna and wetlands. This degrades the value of this history video to very little more than false news.
Well made. Thank you. The island however is called Helgoland
Thanks, in German, yes it is called Helgoland. In English however it's Heligoland
@@FactSpark oh. Ok. I didn't know!
Damn! Those British snakes...
this is inaccurate on a lot of levels.
Thicc German accent. Do not mention ze war!
This is misinformation, these men shaped colonial South West Africa's borders yes, but not todays Namibia. Namibia is the current name given to the country after colonialism and has nothing to do with colonialists. Saying they shaped Namibia is a lie. Todays Namibia is developing and that has nothing to do with your forefathers buddy. Get your facts right.
You spelt bastaards wrong
Sir, you forgot to mention that the real Jerusalem of the Bible is in Namibia. What a massive coverup by the colonizers and the Jesuits missionaries.
How do you guys come up with this conclusions? How do you just conclude that the real Jerusalem of the Bible is in Namibia, what are your sources of information?
I’m Namibian btw
All facts
@@willemnangolo5386I'm also Namibian. This guy is telling the truth, it's a global coverup. Jerusalem, Paris, Shanghai and London are all in Namibia. Washington DC and and New York used to also he in Namibia, but we gave those to the Americans out of our great generosity
