So here are the 30 biggest misconceptions about geography.

The Aleutian Islands in Alaska are prounounced “uh-loo-shun” not “uh-loo-tee-yun.”
speaking of facts most people get wrong... (referring to the video...this comment is correct)
Its literally a ai voice so pronounce mistakes are probably happening
Taiwan is a part of China, but not a part of PRC and never was a part of PRC despite PRC declares its ownership. Republic of China which controls Taiwan iland also declares its ownership over mainland China and it's more legitimate cause RoC owned it before PRC declared its independence and spoiled everything.
ROC (Taiwan) is one of the oldest nations
People’s republic of China is China
Okay so Taiwan, which controls all of the island is not up for debate but western sahara which is basically just a buffer between mauritania and morocco-controlled land
True
"Brazil is the easternmost contury in south amaireca"
no, it's france due to the french guiana
"Country" and "America":Am I a joke to you
Fun fact: Virginia actually extends more west than West Virginia
Taiwan is claimed by PRC🇨🇳 and ROC🇹🇼, but effectively ruled by the ROC🇹🇼.
It is PRC
Fun Fact: Sweden has the most islands in the world with a wooping 236 thousand islands Norway has 230 thousand while Finland has 223 thousand islands this makes no sense to me why those three have so many islands
I also can't understand it.
i was coming here to say this. the video says norway has the most and that sweden only has 221k, but that's not right. sweden has way more islands than norway does.
Damn Ikea makes sense why it's in sweden
It's in 236 thousand pieces

If almost all countries don't recognize Taiwan, that doesn't mean it's not a country.
Agreed as a Taiwanese myself
@@BlueRinggit *Chinese
Hah I made both of them happy!!! Ehem WEST TAIWAN! Good
Yo nice profile picture
Im from Paraguay, and we recognize taiwan.
@@fabriciolopezmoreira1335 TYYY I LUV PARAGUAY SMM
Holy See is not part of Italy, and Italy regonises Holy See as a country.
It is China that claims that Taiwan is not a country on its own so it belongs to them. But Taiwan just used to be a part of China
Taiwan is a nation... Like bruh every nation says it is without saying so because they'll get no trades with the terrible people... Ehem my social credit is -1917251952852843236328318418418
Roc is chinas history but roc isTaiwan history in Ww2 they change china’s flag because it was the same when china claim Taiwan because Qing dynasty control the island of Taiwan but coummusim china is founded in 1949 but Taiwan (as china) didn’t exist in Ww2 Republic of china was Taiwan in Ww2 but part of china
As a German I can tell you that German and Dutch are at least extremly similar. Of course this does not mean it's the same langauge but it's very close. The pronouciation might be quite different however ;)
I can confirm this because i live in Belgium and speek Dutch. I once went to Germany and could understand like 5 words. LOL😅
Fun Fact: Russia is larger then Antarctica
Russia is also bigger than Vatican
everybody knows that
WOAH?! I NEVER KNEW THAT?!?!?!

Start where you want to start
5:37 1 Sweden 2 Norway 3 Canada 4 Finland 5 U.S. 6 Indonesia
Brazil is the longest country.
Russia: Dude, uncool.
East and West are relative, not absolute. Relative to the US overall, the easternmost state is indeed Maine. The international date line is just an arbitrary line.
WRONG!!😑
One of the first-season episodes of Son of a Critch touched on Newfoundland having been a separate British dominion, and the radio station's callsign VOCM (which is a real station) starts with V rather than C because it was licensed prior to 1949.
3:23 it used to be st Petersburg btw
Before Lenin moved it to Moscow because st Petersburg (named Petrograd before WWI, renamed as it sounded too German) was too exposed to Finland after they lost Finland
Indonesia is the largest archipelago. All the larger countries have more islands, but not archipelagos.
About 20 years ago, I was trying to get a birth certificate for my bf, who was horn in Taiwan. China considers it a part of theirs, while Taiwan believes itself to not be and is independent. I spent hrs on the phone trying to track it down (the building had burned down) and was never successful.
as someone who is passionate about geography, i usually absolutely LOVE this channel, but it's really disrespectful and offensive to say taiwan is a part of the people's republic of china. that's not a geography fact, it's an oversimplification of china trying to claim taiwan as theirs when it *is* in fact a country, regardless of if the entire world recognizes it or not. it's very similar to how russia tries to claim former soviet countries as there's, most notably ukraine, except for the fact that those countries have more international recognition. the only reason more countries don't officially recognize taiwan (rather they unofficially recognize them in every other way) is because of the potential ramifications from china. taiwan is *not* part of the people's republic of china, no matter how badly beijing wants to invade and steal it.
I’m sorry man. Never meant to be disrespectful in any way. Hope you can still appreciate the video.
@@earthbasics10 absolutely!! from being a huge fan of your content for a while i could totally tell you never meant anything wrong by it. love your content :D
6:36 do not recognize this
You’re lying about the 16th one
The name of Holy See is devil and the actual name is (Vatican) Vatican City 🇻🇦
He is and isn't. It IS HOLY SEE but is a country.
@@BiggestCrackedBasits also vatican city, so he is lying.
5 geography facts that most people get it wrong
1.The moon and star in singapore's flag means its a muslim country, but thats actually not true! The moon means a young country growing its influence and the 5 stars means five things; Democracy,Peace,Progress,Justice,Equality and there is no dominant religion in singapore
2. Some people think that hungary is in balkans, but actually- hungary is in central europe not in the balkans and balkans consists of 11 countries
3. Capital of USA is not san francisco- It is washington,D.C.
4. Another misconception is that all deserts are hot. While many deserts, such as the Sahara Desert in Africa or the Arabian Desert in the Middle East, are indeed hot, there are also cold deserts where temperatures can drop significantly. Examples include the Gobi Desert in Asia and the Antarctic Desert. Deserts are defined by their arid conditions (low precipitation), not necessarily by temperature.
5. And the last misconception is that switzerland is the only neutral country, while switzerland is the famous for being neutral- it is not the only one. Other countries like austria,moldova, ireland, Liechtenstein, malta and monaco are also neutral
Bro got 10000000+ social credit points for that one
He got the order wrong for most islands. Sweden is first with 270,000 Norway does have a lot though 239,000
Australia is a country,an island too,you from Usa,so then Usa is a continent,no right
1:21 earth basics had it so if you haven’t let’s go
Fun fact:Switzerland is higher in hdi than norway
I don't even know where to begin on this........

Australia is the largest island
Australia is a continent

Plenty of other channels to watch without ads.

I enjoy statements that send me down investigative rabbit holes
Zialan a continent of new Zealand
Attu Island in Alaska is the about the same longitude as Christchurch, New Zealand.
Western Sahara for me is a country + TAIWAN , Kosovo, Artsakh,Abkasia, South Ossetia, North cyprus,Baifra Abazonia, Somaliland and transnistria😅
The only ones I no but do not recognize are:
Western Sahara, Taiwan, Kosovo, North Cyprus, Somaliland and Transnistria.
I reconize taiwan and kosovo only
Fun Fact: More sharks die because of people than people because of sharks
Maine IS the most eastern states because if you look at the USA map, no east,west borders, Alaska is west but Maine is the most east.
True is just take an look at a map for a few seconds
Nope
Alaska is more eastern since the north pole
Sidney likes your videos!
How is Berne not a capital?
Fact 26:Mount Everest is highest mountain but the tallest mountain is mauna kea
5:08 Wrong, S is Switzerlands capital
It has a capital but it’s not official
Fun fact: Fact 15 isnt a fact at all
It is a fact because he put up the fact and French Guiana is not independent
Australia is an island that is larger than Greenland but Australia is still not an island because it a continent Greenland will be the largest island
Taiwan was where the Chinese government fled when Mao Tse Tung took control of mainland China & I think Taiwan is Taiwan Democratic Republic of China & a country !!!
There are 9 continents: asia, africa, north and south America, central America & the carribean, Australia, Antarctica, europe, & zealandia.
@7:26 😅 he misspelled oxygen.
Correction sweden has the most islands not norway
Number 1 is completely obvious. How is Africa a country????
In fact, Taiwan IS a country.
And Australia is an island, a part of Oceania continent. You can't get the other countries just alone, without a continent. They have the potential, but it is not a continent. Is an island.
Continental landmass, search it up. Besides that there’s no site saying Australia is not a continent
@@earthbasics10 Look up:
Situada en el hemisferio sur, Australia es la isla más grande del mundo. Australia pertenece al continente Oceanía y a pesar de no tener fronteras terrestres, en el norte limita con el Mar de Arafura y el Mar de Timor, al este con el océano Pacífico y el Mar de Tasmania y al Oeste con el océano Índico.
Taiwan or western Sahara?
@@Ithegooduser Taiwan.
Why
2:57 Alaska It’s not the least populated state
3:52 Most people say norway is the longest cos of it external territories not its mainland
5:03 It literary is a country, just search it up and it says "Country" and not "Sovereign State". Also Holy see and Vatican City are both name for this country.
No the holy see is a throne right?!
@@DragonTheOneDZA well if thats true then this is really stupid. bro baisically said, "its not the UK its the throne of great britain".
Make video on wrong expectations of asia
This man claims that Taiwan is not a country but Western Sahara is?
My uncle lives In maine
Dude Taiwan is its own country. The hell you mean lol
Don’t say h**l
Okay, most of Mauna Kea is underwater. But, how can we know how much of mt. Everest is underwater🧐🧐
0:22 STOP ASKING ABOUT AFRICA AS A COUNTRY!
as a dutch i dont understand why you chose keukenrol en pastasaus as example of our language, next time pls use tieves or kanker
South Africa largest and known city is Cape Town
Capital of China isnt Beijing, its Pequim
No
Sweden has 267, 507 k islands
Saltwater lake is the dead sea
Everyone knows that 6:04
Most of them
No it’s not,Holy See is for devils name 🤬🤬4:58
Devil name
@@Ithegooduser yeah
Sweden has more Islands
1. The Holy See is NOT the official name of Vatican City. The name of Vatican City is Vatican City (or Vatican City State which is the formal name). The Holy See acts as sort of 'the government' of the Catholic Church, as well as the Vatican. It's not the same thing as the Holy See, the same way the Capitol is not the same thing as the United States.
2. Vatican City IS a country. You described it as an 'independent sovereign state' which is LITERALLY THE DEFINITION of a country.
It’s not Vatican City it’s Vatican
@@IthegooduserIn English the official name is Vatican City State.
Short name
@@Ithegooduseryes the official short name, the official long name is Vatican City State.
Holy city is devil name

Hey Geography Nerd, most of these are no about geography! Duh!
How are you driving a motor home all over the world? Hope you keep you windscreen wipers on. These are not amazing geographic facts, it’s just the USA has a terrific education system.
Fun fact, Russia is the longest country in the world not Chile and where are you? When are you going to make stereotypes about Europe?😢😢😢😢😢
Length is vertical not horizontal and I said Brazil is the longest. Part 2 of Asian stereotypes coming this week, and Europe next week.
The longest means from north to south & that's Brazil ! Russia is the widest from east to west though
Yes exactly, thank you!@@robing9364
It's Canada right?!
Ok
No you are wrong
Fun fact:Switzerland is higher in hdi than norway
