That border was intentional, it was made so that Russia and UK don't touch each other. Russia controlled Central Asia while UK controlled India (Pakistan...) and Afghanistan was maintained as a buffer zone.
Of course, France also borders the Netherlands! "Despite being separated by Belgium on the European map, the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the French Republic share a border on the other side of the world, on an island so nice they named it thrice." Sound familiar? :D
Considering you mentioned French overseas territories, I'm surprised you didn't mention the French-Dutch border on the Caribbean island of St. Martin. The southern half is part of the Kingdom of The Netherlands, the northern half is a part of France. So despite being separated by Belgium on the European map they actually share a border in a completely different part of the world.
Video idea: Do countries own oceans? Would the Indian Ocean belong to India or is it just the territorial waters Also would the Antarctic Ocean be owned by all the countries that own parts of Antarctica? Just an idea. I’m a big fan. I’ve been watching since 30k on the main channel. If u think of anything else that would be great. Have a great day.
You missed about how Russia and the United States border each other up in the bearing straight as the lake in the winter freezes which connects Alaska to Russia
The point of the video is SURPRISING borders. Why mention obvious ones ? If I follow you, then this video should have listed canada and mexico having borders to the US...
Valdoy2866™ its all about the lenguage guys, the island is called sint maarten on dutch and saint martin on french then. so i think there is no real name. spanish has another name the island, probrably italian and portuguese too.
Well no shit Sherlock,I bet you Einstein would've taken years thinking about this simple phrase. oh yeah also did you know that Canada borders the United States of America?Amazing,I know right?Who would of thought?
One fact that blows my mind: The country that is the home of Dark and Heavy metal, Finland and the country that is the home of Darkness, North Korea is separated by only one country...
This border is interesting because when Saint-Pierre-and-Miquelon was created, people forgot the Green Island and the little islands around and we still don't know today who owns them.
In fact, Ceuta and Melilla were conquered in the XV century, when Marocco wasn't really an unified state, so it is not quite the same thing as Gibraltar. Furthermore, they are very close to the rest of Spain, but Gibraltar is much further away from UK. I'm not getting political though, just remarking on the differences. I really don't care if Gibraltar is British, as long as UK and Spain get along. :)
Idk if this counts as a border or anything but also the vimmy ridge memorial in France was given to Canada so technically the area 100m around it is Canadian soil. Perhaps you could include that?
The middle part of the United States was owned by the french until the US bought those states from france, so the fact that Cayenne and Cheynne are similar is not a coincidence. It was probably named by the french and changed by the americans
Please let me explain the reason the Kaliningrad exclave/Russian part of old Ostpreußen exists more in-depth: Less important: Slav territories taken over by the teutonic order during the crusades Became Prussia (Preußen) Prussia merged with the house of Brandenburg creating a dominant power in central europe Important: Germany formed under Prussia (1871) --> controls Ostpreußen Germany keeps control over Ostpreußen after WWI but loses control over Danzig, etc During WW2 civilians flee/were displaced from all of Ostpreußen and all the German regions east of the Oder-River --> no (very few) Germans remain so the USSR resettles slavic peoples like the poles into Ostpreußen This then leads to the northern part of Ostpreußen, now the Kaliningrad/Königsberg exclave to be given to the USSR but formally under the control of the russian SR The southern part was given to Poland who controls it up to this day (and rightfully since the biggest ethnicity that resides there is polish, same with the northern part but russian)
Ah yeah, Kaliningrad... A rich and beautiful german city that was destroyed in WW2 and taken by the soviets, who wanted to show that they could do better... And today the region is a poor wasteland full of remaining soviet ruins... Imagine how that region would look like today if it would belong to Poland, Lithuania, or (even better) Germany!
Lol. Why do you assume it would be better if it was german? It's as rural as it was when my ancestors lived there. As rural and decrepit as (surprise) many german villages are. We can't keep the villages alive we can control, I don't believe we would be able to keep this land alive.
Chao Wingching Hongfingshong PingPangPong, It would be better for Lithuania or Poland to get it because, it was land gained from World War 2 and It has hardly any German population or none at all!
A few more to check out for other people who are interested in this: French-Dutch border on Saint-Martin/Sint-Maarten French-Canadian maritime border between Newfoundland and Saint-Pierre and Miquelon Angola and Republic of the Congo (though initially this doesn't seem surprising) UK-Cypriot border (Akrotiri) UK-Northern Cypriot border and therefore Turkish people will probably see this as a UK-Turkish border (Dhekelia)
I had a difficult time working out whether to count the UK overseas territories that don't maintain any real link with the UK, they fit into such a weird special category that I'd feel weird mentioning them
the french connection to their overseas regions is a bit more direct, as they all use the euro and vote on presidential elections. I think it's still not 100% metropolitan France but it's a lot closer than the falklands or cetain military bases are to being "britain".
Kosta M. Just for your information Albania has never stolen land. Albania avoids getting into wars. But many countries have fucked us over including Serbia and Greece. Did you know that Epirus is Albanian? A large portion of Greece used to be Albanian land. Also Kosova is Albanian land with 95% Albanian! And before you insult me for being Muslim which is predictable from a Greek, IM ORTHODOX non religious Albanian
Shadow Fan who would they give it to? The Canarias Island and the Belearic Island were always apart of Spain and always will be. In fact Ceuta and Melilla should be apart of Spain as they were Spanish territories. Not sure where you got that conclusion from?
Amazing. You said Spain refuse to return this citys that actually never was part of Morocco. But not word about the refusing of the UK to return Gibraltar to Spain, an spanish city taken illigally by british, making a misinterpretation of the Utrech Theatry taht clearly sais that the soberanity becames to Spain. But Anglo countries think themselves being in another status of international low.

2:04 There's very curious history. After WWII Joseph Stalin on Yalta Conference wanted to give Kaliningrad to Poland, but he thought it was fine military point, so he claimed it. It was USRR. In 1991, when the USSR broke into lots of countries, this observation point, that earlier wasn't in any SSR, stood in Russia. It's very interesting! Post scriptum _I knew all the borders xD_

We could mention an interesting border that briefly existed between Italy and... Belgium, since the Comacina island (on the lake of Como) had be given to the Belgian King in 1919 but given back to Italy in 1920.

This border is interesting because when Saint-Pierre-and-Miquelon was created, people forgot the Green Island and the little islands around and we still don't know today who owns them.

The times where Canada and Greenland/Denmark argued over Hans Island.
Please let me explain the reason the Kaliningrad exclave/Russian part of old Ostpreußen exists more in-depth:
Less important:
Slav territories taken over by the teutonic order during the crusades
Became Prussia (Preußen)
Prussia merged with the house of Brandenburg creating a dominant power in central europe
Important:
Germany formed under Prussia (1871) --> controls Ostpreußen
Germany keeps control over Ostpreußen after WWI but loses control over Danzig, etc
During WW2 civilians flee/were displaced from all of Ostpreußen and all the German regions east of the Oder-River --> no (very few) Germans remain so the USSR resettles slavic peoples like the poles into Ostpreußen
This then leads to the northern part of Ostpreußen, now the Kaliningrad/Königsberg exclave to be given to the USSR but formally under the control of the russian SR
The southern part was given to Poland who controls it up to this day (and rightfully since the biggest ethnicity that resides there is polish, same with the northern part but russian)
Prussia before the crusades was a baltic tribe not slavic
You forgot that France borders the Netherlands on the island of Sint Martin!
The Netherlands and France border each other through an island in the Caribbean

Chao Wingching Hongfingshong PingPangPong, It would be better for Lithuania or Poland to get it because, it was land gained from World War 2 and It has hardly any German population or none at all!
It should be given to Poland to make up for what they lost in ww2.
