The flag you didn’t recognise in the second image is the flag of the Belarusian republic, also known as the opposition flag. It was used in WW1 then was used as the state flag in the 90s when the Soviets collapsed, and it’s now become a resistance symbol against Lukashenko and the modern Belarus government (Who use this flag 🇧🇾)
Eu officially recognised 2020 belarus election as fraudulent in which officially lucashenko won with 80% of total votes. In belarus it's really uncommon to find people protesting as they'd rather fix the problem on the personal level rather than on the national level, but this results caused massive response. People marched on the streets of Minsk and formed solidarity chains, the flag was everywhere you go. It seemed that lucashenko would give up peacefully but he didn't. People were sent to SIZO (basically a mini-prison for suspected criminals), there police would beat up people to plead guilty or if they're lucky enough, release after a week. Fun fact: my mom is now in prison for 3 years for sticking this exact flag onto the door. They way the won the case is: 1. Make it a group case with 3 somewhat unrelated people 2. Use a fake advocate to convince the oldest person from the group that the best way to get less time is to plead guilty and NOT disclose that to "co-criminals" 3. Somehow extrapolate guilty claim of one person to the whole group. 4. (Prepared before) Select a judge that has a clear case of ruling and/or use corruption. And 3 people are now in prison. I would -leave- never leave the motherland!
2:58 It seems like Finland gained some land all of a sudden 😆 7:25 I recognized Helsinki *IMMEDIATELY* from the thumbnail. part of the reason I clicked on this video 🤩
The photo is iconic, yes. But where in the world that was, I bet a lot of people outside the US wouldn't know that. I myself hadn't even heard of Iwojima before this video.
I’m an Aussie and I knew it was Iwo Jima, though I guess we were a fair bit more involved in the pacific theatre than the UK was. That said, while I knew Iwo Jima was part of Japan, and I was pretty sure it was a tiny island somewhere in the pacific, I’ve no idea if I’d have got anywhere close to the actual location…
@@gormster oh yeah for sure i definitely wouldnt have found the precise location of the photo. Im surprised that jack didnt think about the US being heavily involved in the pacific theater, although like you said the UK wasnt nearly as active there as the US
It's fairly excusable that he didn't recognize the picture. It is completely inexcusable that he guessed Dunkirk lol, famously one of the earlier land battles Britain was involved in during the war, before the U.S. even joined. Not to mention that the most famous thing about Dunkirk was that it was a _retreat_ and it wouldn't really make much sense for anyone on the Allied side to be erecting a flag anywhere.
Most brits like he and I wouldn't know it unless we had a specific interest in history, cuz it's not part of the curriculum and I don't know anything about American history ngl
"I just don't see what the Americans would gain by whacking up a big American flag in the middle of Europe but I suppose they are American" another classic jack quote
@@lordlofty9689 I don't think they were saying everyone was it's just drilled into our heads in history classes when talking about WW2 is that the Iwa Jima image is one of the most iconic photos in Us history so probably assumed other countries would have known it
06:30 Obviously early 1980’s Dutch. I think jack took the right turn in this video. He doesn’t suck on geography anymore. And his knowledge of history is quite impressive. I only wish his contemporaries were as aware of recent history. Alhough I love geography, I think history is more important in these ages. Jack doesn’t suck on that.
Surprised Jack didn't actually know what year JFK's assassination was being such a big doctor who fan. It was the day before the show first aired, and nobody watched it because of the assassination.
It was so jarring when Jack didn't immediately recognize the iconic Iwo Jima photo, since as an American I have seen that photo in literally every history textbook I've ever opened. Of course it makes sense that the photo isn't as famous in the UK but damn was that jarring.
The photo is iconic but the place name not. I associate that photo a lot with the lyrics of the US anthem, the whole visual of a bombed warfield but the US flag is still waving in the debris.
Yes, do it again! That was fun. It was so interesting to see those iconic images of the Marines on Iwo Jima and Kennedy in Dallas, but from a young Brit's perspective, if that makes any sense.
Think we need a JackSucksAtHistory. That Iwo Jima picture is iconic. Not knowing JFK was assassinated in Dallas too. It's been in so many movies and TV shows you'd have thought he'd have osmosed that info. Not trying to shit talk Jack though! This channel has proven he's clever when he puts his mind to something! I'd love to see him do the same with history
Fun fact: In the JFK Assassination the Secret Service counted that there were to many windows to check and put men to guard there so they prompt to not check all of the windows at all so it was like... "There's too many windows, ehh fuck it who cares"
Since Google Street View lets you view past versions of it, you should try and find a GeoGuessr clone that uses that, could be interesting. Imagine having to find a place that doesn’t exist anymore.
Jack I have some ver urgent news the Seychelles might be the first country to be submerged underwater because of climate change they have been experiencing lots of floods😭😭😭😭❤❤❤❤ sending lots of love for the Seychelles 🇸🇨
"Svalbard is an area of Finland" congrats Jack
Me as a Norwegian hearing him say that..

Bro he didn't know the legendary photo of American winning in iwo jima
I thought that was the lithuanian flag a while back

PLS CAN YOU DO MORE OF THIS
Wow i suprised that you actually know that very cool
The long and awaited history video! History is my favourite subject in school and it’s amazing to see Jack doing a history related video!
History isn't one of my favorites but I still love that Jack is doing it now!
History is fun but history in school always sucked
This is the closest we could get for a history video from jack
@VJR MALFOY lol
3:00 ouch...
Wassup aviator!
Jack: “What’s the Soviet Union doing these days” At least he knows what it is
🤣
He was asking like “why is the Soviet Union here these days”
5:37 Even as a European this part made me upset. IT WAS DALLAS NOVEMBER 1963
Lol worse for me I’m American 😂😂😂
Me, an American living near Dallas
6:17 its so funny to see Jack reading Dutch and thinks its Berlin
2:58 It seems like Finland gained some land all of a sudden 😆
7:25 I recognized Helsinki *IMMEDIATELY* from the thumbnail. part of the reason I clicked on this video 🤩
Hyvä miten Jack lausu ton Aleksanterinkadun ja Keskuskadun😂
Älexäntherinkhätyy ja Keskhyskhätyy
Ya Svalbard and Jan Mayen are in Norway 😂 🇳🇴
As an Estonian, me too😄
I saw the Koff ad and instantly knew it was Helsinki 😂
"Svalbard is like an area of Finland" Nope, it isn't 😂
as an norwigian i am rellay mad at jack
@@Duckyboy You are all Vikings, chill.
@@demo2823 we cannot be chili anout this
Edit:it autocorrected chill
As an finnish, I was like "hold up, wtf jack"😂
@@demo2823 Finns weren't vikings..
I'm actually very surprised that Jack didn't recognize the Iwo Jima US flag picture. I know he isn't American but that's such an iconic photo
The photo is iconic, yes. But where in the world that was, I bet a lot of people outside the US wouldn't know that. I myself hadn't even heard of Iwojima before this video.
@@flowerdolphin5648 really, im from Croatia and know that, also Dallas, wtf everyone should hear about it

12:44 I am surprised Jack didn't get Iwo Jima, it is such an iconic photo as well as major event in the Pacific Campaign
Most brits like he and I wouldn't know it unless we had a specific interest in history, cuz it's not part of the curriculum and I don't know anything about American history ngl
We don't get taught about the pacific war in Europe. I have seen the picture, but also had no clue where or what it was
"I just don't see what the Americans would gain by whacking up a big American flag in the middle of Europe but I suppose they are American" another classic jack quote
As an American I approve of this message
I can almost excuse the JFK location mishap but watching him mess up the famous Iwo Jima image really got me in the gut lol
To be fair, though, I don't think I would have recognized it either since in my country the pacific theater gets mostly ignored in school.
i just knew it because the movie of eastwood, at the end i guess the photo is not so iconic outside US
I’m British and have never heard of this either. Cut jack some slack
not everyone is into american history
@@lordlofty9689 I don't think they were saying everyone was it's just drilled into our heads in history classes when talking about WW2 is that the Iwa Jima image is one of the most iconic photos in Us history so probably assumed other countries would have known it
14:50 as a Dutch person, I immediatly thought the guy yawning and the one to his right were dutch😂
06:30
Obviously early 1980’s Dutch.
I think jack took the right turn in this video.
He doesn’t suck on geography anymore. And his knowledge of history is quite impressive. I only wish his contemporaries were as aware of recent history.
Alhough I love geography, I think history is more important in these ages. Jack doesn’t suck on that.
you shouldn't dwell on the past
@@anguslazy that was 10 words
"what're the soviets doing these days" i don't know, Jack, what do YOU think they're doing?
I burst out laughing at "[...] but I suppose they are American, to be fair." (3:10-3:19) 🤣
he is not american hes british.
5:45 "Where is the lighthouse?" - Jack, trying to find the White House
11:19 "So it wasn't actually on the coast, but it was on the coast" - Jack, 2023
Surprised Jack didn't actually know what year JFK's assassination was being such a big doctor who fan.
It was the day before the show first aired, and nobody watched it because of the assassination.
Jack I can not overstate how good of a video this is
It was so jarring when Jack didn't immediately recognize the iconic Iwo Jima photo, since as an American I have seen that photo in literally every history textbook I've ever opened. Of course it makes sense that the photo isn't as famous in the UK but damn was that jarring.

No it is not. I never in my life heard of Iwo Jima and we had lot of history in school. It just was European history because US is not interesting.
I burst out laughing when Jack said Emilien instead of Emmeline
Melon.
Would love to see more history on the geography channel😊
I love Ur vids they are always
The best
"What's the Soviet Union doing these days?" Oh idk Jack, maybe not existing?
"Svalbard is a part of Finland" *feeling Norwegian rage inside*
6:17 as someone from flanders, its so funny if english people try to talk dutch🤣
Jack saying Svalbard is Finnish when it’s actually Norwegian made me cry
5:44 “where is the lighthouse” 😂
Yes, do it again! That was fun.
It was so interesting to see those iconic images of the Marines on Iwo Jima and Kennedy in Dallas, but from a young Brit's perspective, if that makes any sense.
This, my friends, is the birth of JackSucksAtHistory.
If this isn’t a reason for there to be a JackSucksAtHistory I don’t know what is.
3:01 an area of Finland
AH YES FINLAND
As you like Doctor Who Jack, you should know the first ever episode of Doctor Who came out the day after the JFK assassination.
"high mega byte image" right...
Ur so amazing at this:)
feels sad how my biggest accomplishment today was catching a JackSucks video within the first 10 minutes but at the same time im happy
Love the videos, man. Keep it up!!!
Jack: probably not too far away from the White house
Also Jack: where is the lighthouse
Liked this vid a lot thanks Jack for another banger
That Antarctica photo is the scariest thing I've ever seen
Ah old jack not remembering every single flag…
*What do you mean this was uploaded 13 hours ago*
Amazing video definitely want to see this again
love the vids jack congrats 3 mil jsal
2:20 they were the old flag of Belarus and the Kingdom of Lithuania Flag I believe.
"SVALBARD is like the area of Finland" -Jack
"I know that svalbard is an area of finland"
Norway: Why, why.. WHY? ITS MINE NOT FINLANDS
Think we need a JackSucksAtHistory. That Iwo Jima picture is iconic. Not knowing JFK was assassinated in Dallas too.

8:28 ”katouw” 💀
13:40 Jack forgor that there is Pacific theater on WWII
He's just randomly aimin' it 😂
It was great , please make more
The Iwo Jima one hurt me, I’m crying
This is kinda like JackSucksAtHistory, it’s great! Please make a Part 2!
3:00 ah yes, my favorite place of finland 🇳🇴!
when are you going to upload a jake massey welsh vid. otherwise love you videos and keep up the great work
"I know that Svalbard is a part of Finland" I'm gonna cry 😭
3:05 Svalbard is Norwegian 😂
I like how there were so many hints in the Belarus one, but Jack still didn't get it
3:00 SVALBARD IS NORWEGIAN!!!
F'in brits dont respect norweagans
7:20 8,000 out of 1,000 lol
Fun fact: In the JFK Assassination the Secret Service counted that there were to many windows to check and put men to guard there so they prompt to not check all of the windows at all so it was like...
"There's too many windows, ehh fuck it who cares"
5:58 i remember it was in dallas because his secretary told him not to go but he went anyway
2:46
Jack: I'm gonna assume we're in the Arctic.
Me: I'm gonna assume we're in the Backrooms.
12:30 as an American I’m freaking out
You should definitely make a JackSucksAtHistory channel
DO MORE OF THIS PLEASE
6:55 Me as a Dutch who can read the Dutch text: *screaming through my screen to jack*
Jack I love your vids😊❤❤❤
Aleksanterinkatu and Helsinki spotted!!! Homecity spotted!!!
6:17 when you were trying to say what the board was saying got me wheezing I am from the netherlands and it was about cheese and wine
this is a fun mode, please make more
Great vid 👍
jack you inspired me to be good at geography, today i named all flags of the world
name them then
Jack always makes the best content 🙏
As a norwegian, my brain is dying and is about to explode
loved this so more of this defo
Pls do more of timegusser it was a very interesting video
I would recommend trying to recognise what different languages look like. I'm pretty good at it and it really helps with these kinds of things.
3:01 as a norwegian i am quite offended
Wow❤ it's great to see you doing history keep it up
Love the vid Jack!
“It wasn’t on the coast but it was on the coast” Jack Massey welsh 2023
Jack just unironically said “Where is the Lighthouse?” While in Washington D.C
Ngl the tram in the thumbnail caught me
This was actually really fun, please make an other one sometime!
"what is the soviet union doing these days?"
That poor horse is PISSED. (understandably)
Since Google Street View lets you view past versions of it, you should try and find a GeoGuessr clone that uses that, could be interesting. Imagine having to find a place that doesn’t exist anymore.
Taking history and geography for gcse, so this video is a godsend from jack
Good luck!
Hi jack great vid😊
PLS DO MORE OF THIS❤❤❤
Yay history! Rly enjoy it :D
very nice concept!
Jack I have some ver urgent news the Seychelles might be the first country to be submerged underwater because of climate change they have been experiencing lots of floods😭😭😭😭❤❤❤❤ sending lots of love for the Seychelles 🇸🇨
Great video!
“Svalbard is an area of Finland” it is a island of Norway.
I would love to see more
