As someone from Québec, independence is no longer really likely here because the federal government essentially allowed Québec to already become pseudo-independent anyway. We were recognized as a ''nation within a united Canada'', we control our immigration (which is why we almost exclusively get immigrants from French-speaking countries now), we have different laws from the rest of Canada and we just generally do whatever we want. The RoC (rest of Canada) tend to complain about this of course but they still don't actually do anything against us. Of course, that could all change very fast but right now, we essentially get to have our cake and eat it too by being part of Canada but still governing ourselves in any way that actually matters.
This is misleading, Quebec has immigration authority over « economic immigrants » which is like 10% of immigration to the province. Sure we are officially recognized as a nation by the Canadian constitution but that did not grant us any more power. Quebec still has yet to sign the constitution

The Rebellion of 1837-38 in the Bas-Canada (Québec) AND Haut-Canada (Ontario) was motivated by republican ideals. It transcended linguistic barriers. The aim was to break free from the british crown, and become an independant republic. Canada being a constitutional monarchy even to this day, the Québec independance movement sees itself as a natural successor to the Rebellion of 37-38 as it supports republican ideals, but the legacy of the Rebellion of 37-38 is larger than that.

Elections are due next year and neither the Flemish conservatives nor the nationalists are talking it up, so it's fair to say I feel like the split is not going to happen any time soon.

Drew, I'm glad you've discovered General Knowledge! I've been liking his videos for a long time too. And, as a lifelong Californian (that would be 74 years and counting), I don't see anything absurd about the idea of an independent California. We have--along with the whole Pacific Coast of the U.S.--deep-rooted historical and cultural differences from the part of the U.S. that's east of the Rockies. To put it in the fewest words possible--so as not to write a book here--we're part of the geographical and cultural zone known as the Pacific Rim--we always were and always will be--while East-of-the-Rockies is not. And as far as economics is concerned, California is already the world's fifth-largest economy, and we do far more subsidizing of the federal government than the federal government does of us. That said, I don't think an independent California, all by itself, is especially likely. It just isn't absurd. It's far more likely that if the U.S. somehow dissolves over its political differences, it's the whole west coast that will be exiting together, along with the interior southwest as far east as New Mexico and Colorado.

No, they were never independent. They were Puppet-Clients instigated, maintained & backed by Russian Bodies of Armed Men. A Vichy or Quisling Regime. Russians were only 38%/39% of Donbass Pop. The Ukrainians & Tatars had no say in the "independence".
im Californian and ive never heard of an independence movement. ive heard and would vote for a north and south California but independence sounds insane.

11:20 It's called 판문전 and honestly, I doubt the two nations would easily unify. There has been many conflict lately and many people has very different belief on each other.
It's a bit odd that Bougainville wasn't included in either video, as predicted by Drew. As far as I am aware, it's the only autonomous region in the world that has 1) held a referendum, 2) the independence vote won, and most importantly 3) the vote has been recognised by the national government whose parliament went on to commit to providing independence (by 2027 in this case). A number of regions have done the first two steps towards democratic independence. The third step, getting the national government to recognise the vote and agree to upholding it, tends to be the difficult part. (Note: Although Bougainville is moving towards independence in a democratic manner, I think the referendum is being accepted by PNG in large part due to the civil war that led to the vote. I could be wrong though, as I'm by no means an expert in PNG history)
It would be interesting if Belgium were partitioned between France and the Netherlands, but that seems unlikely. Or a full integration of the Netherlands and Belgium becoming the Benelux.
Independence is stupid, let's be honest. You can love your culture and region and still do so under another name and country, all these independence movements will end up fizzling out because it'll completely destroy their economy if they ever became independent.
@@_ykb_ Take Scotland for example, their culture is still very much alive. In the modern world, assimilation doesn't happen anytime someone you doesn't like is part of the same country as you. Assimilation in the modern world happens mostly when you move to another country, and need to assimilate to fit in, but even then, many keep their own cultural traditions. Go ahead and tell me exactly how every independence movement in this video is being assimilated, because they're not.
As a Belgian I don't think my people will separate. Yes, many want us to, but honestly our politicians don't know what they are doing and Wallonia wants to stay together with Flanders.
I definitely hope we see independent Ingria and Konigsberg one day! As well as some other independent countries that would form on the territory of nowadays russia
As a Scottish person I can 100% vouch that there is still a massive push for independence. The long and the short of it is we are sick of being pushed around by Westminster (the English government) Yes we have our own government, but their powers are still limited. I feel if a vote were to happen again it would still be close, however I think the people of Scotland would vote to become independent. The English government aren't allowing us to have another referendum which is part of the problem.
I was thinking with all the civil wars that go on that could divide some countries like it did Sudan, maybe countries like Somalia would split back into 2 pieces.
As someone who is roommates with a French person, he pretty much believes that Belgians don’t speak French, nor do the Québécois. They all speak something which was maybe at one point French, but butcher the French language in a way which he finds unreasonable. I know what you’re thinking, and of course he is elitist, he is a Frenchman after all.
We all speak French, its called accents and slang. Like UK and USA. Use your brain. Grammatically, we both learn the same languages, nobody butcher a languages it just evolves in its own way. Stop being ignorant about the dynamic of linguistic your bigot is showing.
Quebec barely has an independence movement anymore, not even really since the 80s, why would they get independence soon. They lost the referendum twice.
The main difference between Germany and Korea reuniting is time. When Germany reunited, it was like first cousins, many of whom had living memory of one another.

Drew: I've been a fan of this channel for a bit but I've never seen this video...
It's a bit odd that Bougainville wasn't included in either video, as predicted by Drew.
As far as I am aware, it's the only autonomous region in the world that has 1) held a referendum, 2) the independence vote won, and most importantly 3) the vote has been recognised by the national government whose parliament went on to commit to providing independence (by 2027 in this case).
A number of regions have done the first two steps towards democratic independence. The third step, getting the national government to recognise the vote and agree to upholding it, tends to be the difficult part.
(Note: Although Bougainville is moving towards independence in a democratic manner, I think the referendum is being accepted by PNG in large part due to the civil war that led to the vote. I could be wrong though, as I'm by no means an expert in PNG history)
Its a good day when he uplaods... and he uploads every day 😊 have a good day❤
Germany did want it but it was one of the requirements for the reunification to not further pursue Kaliningrad (Königsberg).
well they could say that they made that deal with the USSR which doesn't exist any more, but they'd be insane to try that!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HE FINALLY ACKNOWLEDGED THE BASQUE COUNTRY
Great video, but when do you react to countryball animations?!
He does
@@samultra2794 he hasn't done it for a few months
thanks to you and my old geography teacher I picked geography as my major in high school
9:17 Kaliningrad may make a run for it because of the war.
If Catalonia goes, we won’t have Barcelona in la Liga
It would be interesting if Belgium were partitioned between France and the Netherlands, but that seems unlikely. Or a full integration of the Netherlands and Belgium becoming the Benelux.
I know that these can look weird but, there’s a lot of Puerto Rican people that want to join Spain
Independence is stupid, let's be honest. You can love your culture and region and still do so under another name and country, all these independence movements will end up fizzling out because it'll completely destroy their economy if they ever became independent.
@@_ykb_ Take Scotland for example, their culture is still very much alive. In the modern world, assimilation doesn't happen anytime someone you doesn't like is part of the same country as you. Assimilation in the modern world happens mostly when you move to another country, and need to assimilate to fit in, but even then, many keep their own cultural traditions.
Go ahead and tell me exactly how every independence movement in this video is being assimilated, because they're not.
DRUWU PAUSE THE VIDEO IF YOU WANNA EDUCATE US AS WELL 😂😂😂😂
As a Belgian I don't think my people will separate. Yes, many want us to, but honestly our politicians don't know what they are doing and Wallonia wants to stay together with Flanders.
I definitely hope we see independent Ingria and Konigsberg one day! As well as some other independent countries that would form on the territory of nowadays russia
General Knowledge the goat
IDK BUT FOR SOME REASON I THOUGHT THE TITLE LOOKED LIKE SOUTH EAST ASIA 💀💀💀
Italy also has the military order of Malta inside of it
11:26 North Korea and South Korea dont apply to the West Germany and East Germany situation because they arent called "East Korea" and "West Korea"
There isn't a day that goes by that I'm not disgusted by the fact that I'm linked to wallonia :)
As a Scottish person I can 100% vouch that there is still a massive push for independence. The long and the short of it is we are sick of being pushed around by Westminster (the English government) Yes we have our own government, but their powers are still limited. I feel if a vote were to happen again it would still be close, however I think the people of Scotland would vote to become independent. The English government aren't allowing us to have another referendum which is part of the problem.
a vote today would definitely not result in independence... by a margin of 5-10%
Saorsa!
@@Mmjk_12And where did you learn that 😂
I think 60-40 in favour of independence
The British government is even more hopeless than the Scottish one so we definitely should leave
South India maybe
I was thinking with all the civil wars that go on that could divide some countries like it did Sudan, maybe countries like Somalia would split back into 2 pieces.
Sicily/Sardinia could be interesting and so does Corsica, those should be there
Every time I go to Barcelona I get caught up in independance and unity rallies haha
If I had a nickel for every french related independence movement, I would have two, which isn't a lot, but it's wierd that there's two of then
Move the cities of st.piderburg and prague please (into another country even)
Kosovo is technically younger as a country as it was finally recognized by the UN in 2016, but declared their independence from Serbia in 2008.
Quebec: becomes independent
*everyone wages war on Canada for their egregious border gore
Petition for drew to make a 2 part Panama ball plush that sticks together with Velcro (day 10)
As someone who is roommates with a French person, he pretty much believes that Belgians don’t speak French, nor do the Québécois. They all speak something which was maybe at one point French, but butcher the French language in a way which he finds unreasonable. I know what you’re thinking, and of course he is elitist, he is a Frenchman after all.
We all speak French, its called accents and slang. Like UK and USA. Use your brain. Grammatically, we both learn the same languages, nobody butcher a languages it just evolves in its own way. Stop being ignorant about the dynamic of linguistic your bigot is showing.
Hahaha anger russia and now everyone just lauggts at them 😂😂😂😂
The US officially recognized Western Sahara as part of Morocco back in 2020.
US is not all the world
Drew should record the Time in Spain { day Doofenshmirtzy 2 }
Quebec barely has an independence movement anymore, not even really since the 80s, why would they get independence soon. They lost the referendum twice.
10:00 Královec should be part of czech republic
imagine if some countries actually united
Day 2 of asking drew to read history jokes
22:06 pour ce mouvement d'indépendance c'est un qui peut etre financer si la Turquie comme a se désenligner de la voie américaine.
I already watched this in his channel
As a Kurd, I approve of this message-🗿

It's so weird seeing one channel I watch react to another channel I watch.
Can you bring back Canada plush I am new and really want it
MAKE PRUSSIA 2 FOR THE MEMES
Drew needs to play Countryballsatwar wo agrees!?
👇
Siberian nations’ independence when?
Do you mean East- Russia, or North- China?
They have way too few people to defend all of that land in the modern world, sadly.
