Ah, yes, sea borders! Indeed, far too overlooked. Take a look at the Aegean. This is probably the most dangerous maritime dispute in the world. Turkey has threatened war if Greece extends its territorial waters to 12 nautical miles.
As a Greek, its important to tell you something. Turkish troops recently got a small piece of land in the Greco-Turkish border. It isnt said to the media so a war wont occured. But still, it is frightening to think
UN: if the seas name is south china sea, that doesnt mean that its all yours china China: but, but my "islands" UN: some sand on underwater reef is not an island
Some westerns won't bother about that, just take larger lands like India, Vietnam, Indonesia etc. by force💪 And since you control the whole country, there's no dispute with them and the territory is all yours😂 Well done🤮
China: You can't tell me what to do. Fight me! UN: We'll let the neighboring countries enforce the claim SEA Countries: Uh, no backup? China: Fine, we'll release our ultimate weapon: The CCP Virus! Now the South China Sea is free real estate
These are always so fascinating. As a Slovak person (a country amidst landlocked countries), it always seemed like a common thing for countries to be landlocked and only some countries having the luxury of having a coast. It's so interesting to see how it's the other way around.

I see you are also one of those that are convinced China is "bullying" nearby nations. In fact, this is quite the contrary. China is simply trying to re-establish her sovereignty in the region that they claimed before anybody else (of course this is motivated by the need to secure national security by managing the crucial trade routes in the region). Since 1947, each subsequent Chinese government in power has claimed this region. Due to the legal principle of Terra Nullius, China considered the region as nobody's land and decided to claim the area and still does so to this day. Mind you this is after the Treaty of San Francisco which abolished Japanese rule in the region but did not indicate who was to own it. I could go on and on about this but I think the wikipedia article on the issue really tells you everything you need to know: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Territorial_disputes_in_the_South_China_Sea.

Interesting fact about the French EEZ is that it shows the international diplomatic influence of France. A number of the islands that give it EEZ (Clipperton island somewhat near Mexico and quite a few islands in the Southern Indian Ocean as well as near Madagascar) actually shouldn't : they don't have a permanent population, and normally the Montego Bay convention regulating maritime borders and stuff (which France did sign) says that islands that don't have permanent population give you territorial waters, but not EEZ. So France's EEZ should be smaller than it is, but because of their international influence they managed to get all of that extra EEZ nonetheless.
@@jandron94 yes but my point is that France *did* sign the Montego bay convention (contrary to the US), but nevertheless has extra EEZ that it shouldn't have according to the convention

So far we have not done much with it... but who knows in the futur. In 30 years the population of the oversea territories will probably approximate 8% of the total French population, 50 years ago it was 2%. I think there is a potential if futur French governments have an ambitious and well-fitting plan for those territories and the EEZ. Let's not give them away to the Chinese (illegal or legal fishing) and non-French international corporations appetite (in mining, tourism, fishing industries, etc.).

A nautical mile is originally the lenght of 1 arc minute on a great circle. And as the earth isn't a perfect sphere, that great circle is the equator. Later it was defined by exactly 1852 m. So, twelve miles are exactly 22.224 km, 200 miles are exactly 370.4 km.
International waters has 2 meanings: A: waters that can be claimed by no one. B: waters that are claimed and shared by 2 or more countries but exclude all others. Example: the great lakes, shared by Canada and USA only.
One thing I think you overlooked was how those borders are implemented between neighboring countries. For example, the US-Mexico border in the Gulf of Mexico, or the US and Bahamas.
Some really interesting information on sea borders and territories. However, at 6:27 the area marked as the Andaman Islands should be shown in he same colour as India because all the sea territories around the Andaman Islands are in India's exclusive economic zone as the Andaman Islands are part of India.
Canada's EEZ almost reaches the Titanic all thanks to Newfoundland as the EEZ stops very closely to where the Titanic sank, now the real question arises whether the Newfoundland Seamounts are part of Canada's EEZ or not because if so the Titanic will be encompassed in the EEZ of Canada.
The sea around Island of Trindade, at Atlantic, was coloured as brown, but it is Brazilian territory, therefore should be coloured as green. Aldo id lacking the islets of São Pedro and São Paulo, which added another 200 mile radius spot at Atlantic to Brazil
La zona alrededor de las Islas Malvinas, Georgia del Sur y Sandwich del Sur son reclamadas por Argentina, no deberías haberlas puesto en azul (por Gran Bretaña) sinó como disputada!
No, no son zonas "disputadas". En los hechos esas islas tienen dueño y se llama Gran Bretaña. Dile a un argentino, o a cualquier otro extranjero, que vaya a las Falkland Islans sin ningún permiso, para que veas si están o no "disputadas". Argentina no tiene ningún tipo de control sobre esas islas; ni siquiera un privilegio de tránsito, nada; sencillamente no son dueños. Fíjate en esto: ni siquiera el reclamo (entre comillas) de Argentina sobre Falkland Islands está en sede judicial de ONU (donde realmente se dirimen las cuestiones territoriales y limítrofes entre países) sino que en sede política. La disputa de los argentinos es política; y usada muchas veces con fines electorales.

Despite being within the definition of territorial waters, the USA claims that the Northwest Passage, though Canada Arctic Islands is International Waters. Although not acknowledge as Canadian waters, the USA has agreed to ask for permission before passage. There is also a dispute between Canada and Denmark over Hans Island. It sits between Greenland and Baffin Island within the territorial waters of both Canada and Denmark. It is large enough for a flag pole. The flag gets changed by whomever's navy is last to visit. The Canadian flag is removed and the bottle of Canadian whisky taken by the Danes, the Danish flag hoisted and a bottle of schnapps is left at the base of the flag. The Danish flag is removed by the Canadians, the Canadian flag is hoisted the bottle of schnapps is taken and a bottle of Canadian whisky is left.
The recent discovery of two shipwrecks in the Northwest Passage - the HMS Terror and HMS Erebus; two ships that were lost during Sir John Franklin's ill-fated expedition to find the Northwest Passage - strengthens Canada's claim to the North, because the originally-British EEZ of the area was ceded to Canada.
Human activity will turn more and more towards the exploitation of the seas that the ambitions of states will seek to dominate in order to control their resources, ”said Charles de Gaulle

Hey General :) Amazing video and topic! It's true that Portugal has one of the largest EEZs in the world, but I wonder: which country has the biggest EEZ in the Mediterranean? Considering how many countries have access to the Mediterranean, it's really a close call between Italy, Greece, Turkey, Spain and Libya... Also, Kiribati is a very interesting country, consisting of 4 archipelagos that are spread through 3 time zones. Barbs (Geography Now) had made a very good video on them. Chile has such EEZ because of the Easter Island being so far away from mainland S.America, I never knew that France has the biggest EEZ as I always thought either Denmark, the UK or the US has the largest EEZs in the world. Oceania is one of the most fascinating regions on the planet - it's such a cultural mix and they really care about every inch of island they have being in the middle of nowhere with respect to the continental mass, closest one being Australia - so every island and every inch of the ocean they can conquer is a huge deal to them. Unfortunately, The Black Sea and the Azov Sea are also subject to ongoing tensions and disputes, mostly having to do with Russia's interference and annexation of Crimea which makes the entire Azov Sea disputed between Russia and Ukraine, as well as coastal cities like Odessa and Sevastopol are subject to disputes... We (Bulgaria) and Romania don't have an official agreement to the EEZ that we can use in the Black Sea, but we don't have disputes either. It is estimated that in the future we may reach such an agreement that would help and/or prolong maritime trade.
Turkey had a small EEZ because they dont have many islands and don’t have acces to an ocean but a sea. And they have to share it with many other countries. Also Greece has many islands. And even the small ones get huge EEZ. That’s why Greece dominates the waters west of Turkey. My country India has small Islands called ‘Andaman and Nicobar’ it’s the size of Crete, small. But the surrounding waters add a huge part of our EEZ, despite being a small island more than 2500km of the mainland. So yea, Turkey is unlucky.

A nautical mile is originally the lenght of 1 arc minute on a great circle. And as the earth isn't a perfect sphere, that great circle is the equator. Later it was defined by exactly 1852 m. So, twelve miles are exactly 22.224 km, 200 miles are exactly 370.4 km.

International waters has 2 meanings: A: waters that can be claimed by no one. B: waters that are claimed and shared by 2 or more countries but exclude all others. Example: the great lakes, shared by Canada and USA only.

One thing I think you overlooked was how those borders are implemented between neighboring countries. For example, the US-Mexico border in the Gulf of Mexico, or the US and Bahamas.

Some really interesting information on sea borders and territories. However, at 6:27 the area marked as the Andaman Islands should be shown in he same colour as India because all the sea territories around the Andaman Islands are in India's exclusive economic zone as the Andaman Islands are part of India.

Canada's EEZ almost reaches the Titanic all thanks to Newfoundland as the EEZ stops very closely to where the Titanic sank, now the real question arises whether the Newfoundland Seamounts are part of Canada's EEZ or not because if so the Titanic will be encompassed in the EEZ of Canada.

In Russia we count 4 oceans. Antarctic ocean - something new. Even on your pictures borders of main 4 oceans shown up to Antarctica.
La zona alrededor de las Islas Malvinas, Georgia del Sur y Sandwich del Sur son reclamadas por Argentina, no deberías haberlas puesto en azul (por Gran Bretaña) sinó como disputada!
exacto, razón de más para darle por primera vez un dislike a un video del canal.
Rubbish
No, no son zonas "disputadas". En los hechos esas islas tienen dueño y se llama Gran Bretaña. Dile a un argentino, o a cualquier otro extranjero, que vaya a las Falkland Islans sin ningún permiso, para que veas si están o no "disputadas". Argentina no tiene ningún tipo de control sobre esas islas; ni siquiera un privilegio de tránsito, nada; sencillamente no son dueños.
Fíjate en esto: ni siquiera el reclamo (entre comillas) de Argentina sobre Falkland Islands está en sede judicial de ONU (donde realmente se dirimen las cuestiones territoriales y limítrofes entre países) sino que en sede política. La disputa de los argentinos es política; y usada muchas veces con fines electorales.
4:07 Finally it happend.
Switzerland isn't a landlocked country anymore.
A lot of invalid claims slicing up Antarctica. Meanwhile, the USA (which makes no such claims) has a station on the actual south pole.
Most of those "invalid" claims have lots of bases

Despite being within the definition of territorial waters, the USA claims that the Northwest Passage, though Canada Arctic Islands is International Waters. Although not acknowledge as Canadian waters, the USA has agreed to ask for permission before passage.
There is also a dispute between Canada and Denmark over Hans Island. It sits between Greenland and Baffin Island within the territorial waters of both Canada and Denmark. It is large enough for a flag pole. The flag gets changed by whomever's navy is last to visit.
The Canadian flag is removed and the bottle of Canadian whisky taken by the Danes, the Danish flag hoisted and a bottle of schnapps is left at the base of the flag.

The recent discovery of two shipwrecks in the Northwest Passage - the HMS Terror and HMS Erebus; two ships that were lost during Sir John Franklin's ill-fated expedition to find the Northwest Passage - strengthens Canada's claim to the North, because the originally-British EEZ of the area was ceded to Canada.

That's funny
Switzerland probably has islands in the oceania.
But Monaco have maritime boundaries.
It’s arctic. “Artic” means like art I guess
Artic is right too, its just a variant of the word arctic, a obsolete one at that but stilla valid spelling of the word
Your missed an important dispute between Colombia and Nicaragua, no only for the exclusive economic zone, but for the access to the mainland territory
Small islands they are the biggest beneficiary of this outcome. As humans we only think about land but we never think about the water lol thanks for sharing this with us.
Hey General :)
Amazing video and topic!
It's true that Portugal has one of the largest EEZs in the world, but I wonder: which country has the biggest EEZ in the Mediterranean? Considering how many countries have access to the Mediterranean, it's really a close call between Italy, Greece, Turkey, Spain and Libya...
Also, Kiribati is a very interesting country, consisting of 4 archipelagos that are spread through 3 time zones. Barbs (Geography Now) had made a very good video on them.
Chile has such EEZ because of the Easter Island being so far away from mainland S.America, I never knew that France has the biggest EEZ as I always thought either Denmark, the UK or the US has the largest EEZs in the world. Oceania is one of the most fascinating regions on the planet - it's such a cultural mix and they really care about every inch of island they have being in the middle of nowhere with respect to the continental mass, closest one being Australia - so every island and every inch of the ocean they can conquer is a huge deal to them.
Unfortunately, The Black Sea and the Azov Sea are also subject to ongoing tensions and disputes, mostly having to do with Russia's interference and annexation of Crimea which makes the entire Azov Sea disputed between Russia and Ukraine, as well as coastal cities like Odessa and Sevastopol are subject to disputes...
We (Bulgaria) and Romania don't have an official agreement to the EEZ that we can use in the Black Sea, but we don't have disputes either. It is estimated that in the future we may reach such an agreement that would help and/or prolong maritime trade.
Greece has twice the EEZ of Turkey...and most of turkey's eez is in the black sea
I think Italy has the largest
Turkey had a small EEZ because they dont have many islands and don’t have acces to an ocean but a sea. And they have to share it with many other countries. Also Greece has many islands. And even the small ones get huge EEZ. That’s why Greece dominates the waters west of Turkey. My country India has small Islands called ‘Andaman and Nicobar’ it’s the size of Crete, small. But the surrounding waters add a huge part of our EEZ, despite being a small island more than 2500km of the mainland. So yea, Turkey is unlucky.
