Alright! Got it done before I head out to Finland! Enjoy this next episode! Thanks to all the AUSTRIAN peeps and subscribers that helped me with this video!
UPDATE!!! YES I REALIZE I accidentally said "Hungary" at 5:18 when I said "Yugoslavian states" and Hungary was NOT part of Yugoslavia, I meant to say former "EMPIRE States!" I fixed it up with an annotation, I'm not going to Re-upload the entire video for a 2 second voiceover mistake. ALSO at 8:32 the Czech flag was upside-down. SORRY, I'm kind of in a hurry to get ready for Finland, This is what a video looks like when I kind of rush it.
+Comyu Calm down, there is no reason to be so angry. I'll admit that "independent" wasn't the right choice of words, but Salzburg was its own nation from 1328 to 1803 (during the time mozart was born), but it was also part of the Holy Roman Empire. Salzurg became the Habsburgs property in 1803 and part of the Austrian Empire in 1805. It was then taken over by Bavaria in 1810 and reunited with Austria in 1816. BTW I'm Austrian too.
Armin Reindl Austria was there before though. We even were a little germanic tribe at exactly our lands territory. Just with the name germanian. that doesnt mean we share anything with another country called after our language and old tribes
Es ist blöd amerikanischen leuten zu erklären das Hitler Österreicher war... also erwähne ich lieber Schwarzenegger, KTM oder Mozart. Mancht komplett quer denker verwechseln es dann mit Australien. 😅
I often entertain the thought of what would have happened if Hitler would have been accepted into the university of arts... would we have a famous painter instead? Would WW2 still have happened? Would he still have worn that ridiculous mustache? It is baffling to think how such a "minor" difference changed history.
1ww started because an Austrian man get shot 2ww started because an Austrian Man doesn't get shot How you do it, you do it wrong edit: thx for more then 2k likes
Although Austrians are ethnically German and speak German. Ironic that Austrians.try to distance themselves from Germany because of the whole Nazi thing, but Hitler was from Austria and Austria was very pro-Nazi in those days too.
@@oilersridersbluejays Austrians do not distance so much from Germany because of the whole nazi stuff. For many Austrians Germany is like the weird and nerdy schoolmate nobody wants to hang out with but after school they get along somewhat good. Austrians distance from Germany because there are a lot of cultural differences and they are simply not the same. Love-hate relationship I would say.
Daaaaamn, well pronounced in the beginning. I'm impressed. Even though "90% are Austrian" is only partially true. There is a saying, "every true Viennese man has a grandmother in Brno (which is in Czech Republic)". Vienna was one of the first melting pots in the world and some of their most common last names are of Slavic or Hungarian origin. Also, courtesy is technically important, but for true Viennese people a passive aggressive tone with a hint of condescension is a must.
GreenOnionBrother also, a lot of people in Carinthia are from Slovene descent. Only a few still speak slovene, but yeah their ancestors were slovenian.
Lower Austria is called lower Austria, because in the middle ages austria was divided in "Österreich ob der Enns" and " unter der Enns", which translates to "Austria above the (River) Enns" and "under the (River) Enns". So Upper Austria is called "Upper" because its situated over the River and Lower Austria because its situated lower the Enns.
Oh well, and I thought it had something to do with the fact, that in former times maps were not oriented to the north, but to the east... so upper austria had been placed to the upper side of the (hand drawn) map and lower austria was on the lower side on the map...
I think what it is presumed in the much more concise explanation by Mathias, is that upper and lower was often determined by the flow of the river, since water always flows downwards. In this specific case the River Danube flowing from west to east, the river Enns as a contributory river flowing from south to north, into the Danube forms the natural border of western/higher/ upper Austria from lower part of Austria along the river Danube.
This can be said about pretty much any region that uses lower or upper in the name (in German). Upper refers to higher altitude and lower refers to lower latitude (which then coincides with upstream/downstream of a river, since revers flow from higher elevation to lower elevation thanks to gravity)
@@a-e180 Yes it does, which expresses the common man by holding a hammer in his left hand for workers and a sickle in the right hand for farmers. The broken chains where added as a symbol of the release from the zazi regime. Also my explanation is how it went down historically and how it is teached in university in Vienna today.
„Österreich hat den 1. Weltkrieg verursacht!“ Österreicher: „Österreich hat den 2. Weltkrieg verursacht!“ Österreicher: „Österreich ist quasi Deutschland!“ Österreicher: „So jetzt reichts owa hoit jetzt de goschn!“
wow, as an austrian i am really surprised about the quality of this video. you really got the point in many details. one of the best videos about austria I saw so far.
It is called Upper Austria and Lower Austria because of their position along the Danube River. Lower Austria is further downstream, much in the same way Upper and Lower Egypt worked.
TacoSeniour This is not true, the border between Lower and Upper Austria is the river Enns. So Upper Austria is named because it lies on the „upper side“ - originally called „Österreich ob der Enns“ when it was Habsburg territory which became Oberösterreich („Upper Austria“).
Actually it's the Enns river (originally they were called "Austria above the Enns" and "Austria below the Enns") that gave it its name, and that is also the river that separates them.
I actually met Dominik von Habsburg - Lothringen and his wife. They are great people :) he's currently the head of the department of hunting and forestry affairs. Edit: added the Lothringen, because I forgot that he has the double last name, because another royal ( his wife Von Lothringen) was adding it to his name by marriage.
When Austrians play online games: Random dude: where r u from? Austrians: Austria Random dude: ahhhh kangaroos Austrians: *dudeee not again* Greetings from Austria 😂
+Jan Rauschütz hmm...if I were to go to Austria - the zoo is probably the last place I'd go to.... well, I have been to Austria and didn't go to the zoo, don't think I will either (go to the zoo in Austria I mean)
I have been to Austria once and really impressed by its marvelous snow-capped forests and mountains (it was in winter). Does it sound weird if I say somehow I felt some kind of spiritual connection at the time? I've got fed up with crowded places in China in the past 20 years and I really appreciate places as quite as that.
It's a bit ironic to hear someone say how quiet the Austrian mountains are in winter, when that is the time of year when those mountains are the most crowded due to tourism. Though I guess it helps put things into perspective when what Austrians think of as a busy time is seen as quiet by our guests. :)
As an Austrian I can promise that you dont want to wear „Lederhosen und Dirndl“ 24/7. Especially when you eat a lot of meat and so on and then you sit down on a wood bench. Ps an alle österreicher I hab wieda bock aufn 1. Mai
@@SNEEDVILLE So therefore they took your people as well...Be grateful they didn´t wipe your people out as they took over Panonnia in the 9th century which would be a very likely move in that time So just be grateful that you are existing ..because otherwise you wouldn´t be alive today at all and you weren´t able to comment your strange comment with your strange claim.
South Tyrol was not voluntarily given to Italy, it was forced on Austria by the Allied Powers in 1919, much like how Germany lost West Prussia to Poland, also known as the spoils of war.
They wouldnt give us istria because yugoslavia wanted it and it was on the victors side, austria was part of germany (anchluss) so they had to right in bargains, even tho they claimed that they were forced to join (not everyone was forced)
So called Sudetenland was for hundrets of years part of the Bohemia and now it is part of the Czech Republic. The boder line in this case changed only when Prussia stole Silesia and during WWII when Germany temporarily destroyed Czechoslovakia.

I went to Austria just last weekend and Ive dated this guy who invited me to just "stroll around" seems like his strolling takes an hour of walk or more LOL
Don't get me wrong, I love early barbs, but I wish he would remake some of these earlier episodes with all of the new segments they have now. Especially considering that so many of the most interesting countries in the world were in the very first few episodes
Nice video. :) I'm from Czechia and i really love Austria! When i was little, I used to go with my family every year on summer holidays there and i simply loved it! I adore mountains, lakes, forests, haflingers and nice people too! They are kind of funny, but nice to tourists, I think. Oh, and one more thing - my favorite food is Germknödel mit Vanillesauce. This food always made my day, just like Wienerschnitzel. ^^ See ya next summer, Austria!
Agreed, I go to Austria at least two times a year, sometimes just for a weekend, Vienna and Graz are magical, rare places where you can feel so relaxed. And YES I know it's melange :)
You didn't mention Croatia... Croatia and Austria are very good friends and have strong relationships.. Croatia was part of Austro-Hungarian Empire for 500 years. And there are Burgenlandkroaten and Croats in the rest of Austria. Grüße aus Kroatien! Österreich ist das schönste Land der Welt!
Ich komme aus Aserbaidschan. Und ich liebe österreichische Kunst, Musik, Gebäude und natürlich Geschichte. Ich möchte nach Österreich reisen. Einschließlich Wien. Grüße aus Aserbaidschan!🇦🇿❤🇦🇹
You don't have to speak Italian, but it is taught in schools in South Tyrol for your whole academic carreer, so if you don't see that as an opportunity to become bilingual and widen your horizon it is a huge loss for yourself, I would say :)
Per carità non volevo certo offerndervi, mi scuso vivamente, dicevo solo che tanto italiani non lo siete, non che questo sia un male, non sono un leghista del cavolo, sono felice di avere un italia piena di tanti popoli diversi, inclusi voi, ripeto non volevo assolutamente offendervi e mi dispiace per ciò che Mussolini ha fatto, non lo sapevo
to make this clear: -> No one in austria has ever seen the sound of music! -> about titles, in schools austrian pupils have to call their teacher Professor, even If the teacher is just an magister XD -> hitler never felt as austrian because he was one of the people who tought that the republic of austria had no right in beeing there, he even refused to go to the austria millitary like he had to but went to the german millitary withut force. (he also got head of state in germany but was not accepted by the vienna art university) -> In austria there is currently a trend where you wear letherpants and dirndl als everyday clothes ( a little bit altered though) and many older people did that anyways also this video was hella funny to watch as an austrian bc it was right almost ever!!
@@antonia.3009 no there are 100 000s of us who live/partly grew up or have lived abroad. Off course there is no way around seeing the movie since it has been shown on TV at around Xmas at some time in over 100 countries. Aber mit Brunnenfröschen lässt es sich halt schwer über das weite Meer diskutieren:-)
Ok wrong, wrong wrong. I don't know what kind of stupid shot they teach you in school but it is so wrong. Even the art university thing is wrong he got accepted just the letter never arrived. They found the letter a couple of years ago at the old post office. (Can you look up online). And he treaded the Austrian like the German and Austria was as happy about Hitler as Germany the only thing about you guys is you can't say yes we did wrong in the holocaust. You are just like it was just Germany like in every world war. Have some balls and they yes we caused one world war and we supported Hitler but this wasn't us it was another time and don't say it was all German doing. So many European countries supported Hitler mindset otherwise he never could have been this dictator he once became. But every country is just saying Germany Germany Germany. It's easy to have one you can blame right.
@@ludomirsteinbruck9376 okay he self said that germans aren't proud to be germans. So even if in your blood is just a little chez or Belgium. German people say they belong to them because they are afraid to be considered as germans because everybody things we are murderers and racists. So how the hell do you think that they say we feel so German they all say we are Austrian because Austria don't feel guilty. Even Christopher Waltz who is half German half Austrian rather claims to be Austrian. I just wanna say don't always put your guilt just on Germany Austria help as well. It's easy to say just the germans did everything. I mean the hungarians sent their students to the KZ so they can watch how the get gassed but it was all Germany please start to think. Yes Germany started every thing but a lot ofthe other countries followed germany. Even Austria. The world is not that easy just to say he he is guilty and he not. And second point you didn't do it it is just the history of your country.
@Unknown User austrians are germans. They came from the germanic tribe of the bajuwaren. They are cultural germans and speak german. Their history is german.
@@hurensohn1273 austria has a history going back more than a thousand years. They come from similar tribes, but calling austrian culture german is just revisionism. Just like calling US culture "british". Also dont forget that the HRE was ruled from vienna for many years, maybe austrians are germany but german are austrians? 😆
Thank you to all the Austrians I met while I was on Erasmus Exchange in Salzburg, such a beautiful country with even more beautiful and kind people. I wanna live there!
I am from Austria and I have watched this episode so many times cause I really like it. And a big compliment to you: the dialect at the beginning is very good pronounced :)
+Angi Jackson I challenge you to do that with any english accent. For a non native speaker it was very well done (although I could not tell if it should be a Soizburga or a Weana ;) ).
The south tyrol thing was actually kind of different. Austria was a looser of WWI so south tyrol was TAKEN AWAY from Austria because of a secret treaty, the treaty of London. In this treaty the Entente promised Italy South Tyrol when they help them fight Austria, wich they did. They lost lots of other parts, the Sudetenland for example, where also most of the people spoke german.
Italy had a tendency to switch sides in history, both in WW1 and in WW2. (They were part of the axis powers in WW2 and part of the "Dreibund" from 1892 until WW1, but switched sides later) And they got rewarded after WW1 by getting south tyrol. But nowadays, most south tyroleans don't want to go back to Austria because they got good deals from both countries, they can for example also use the health care system of austria in tyrol or if they study in austria, they are counted as austrians (which means higher quotas in comparison to EU-member states).
ita-eng subber Okay Venetia makes sense, but why South Tyrol though? It was without argument completely Austrian and should I remind you how people were mistreated in the first decades after South Tyrol was Italian? They weren’t allowed to learn german at schools and were treated as second class citizens which makes you wonder why Italy wanted South Tyrol in the first place
Le funny meme That is mostly true. Due to the dictatorship there was a strong attempt to italianize the land that partially succeded. Italy in the first place didn't want the whole Südtirol as it is historically called but longed for the Trentino which is the southern part of Tyrol and was/is inhabited mostly by italians. I guess we got the hole of it as a "consolation" from the allies since at the time Italy was far more interested in the dalmatian coast (with italian minorities) that we didn't get in the end
@@hanszimmer9224 I've lived in several areas in Germany and have heard Brötchen a lot. My own German family as well as my German husband and his family also use "Brötchen". None of them are Hanoveranians.
That's kind of difficult. Yes, in cultural / ethnic Austrians are German, but after the Second World War both Austria and Germany were very anti-nationalistic, so they both never tried to unify and nowadays both, Germans and Austrians alike, rather see themselves as part of a united Europe. The EU has played a major role in German economic success and Austria is also one of the core-beneficials alongside Germany, France, the BeNeLux and the nordic countries. So there really is no need for national feelings towards Germany right now. But whoever wants to see himself as a German, feel free. Germany is open to whoever shares it's values.
+Modestoney I would say that Austrians and Germans are closer than Americans and British, because a) they are ethnically way closer (USA being made up of hundreds of ethnicities) and b) because they are only seperated for about 70 years while the US and the UK have been seperated for over 200 years. But yes, the comparison is still kind of fitting. I would rather use 2 countries like Norway and Island or maybe UK and Scotland ( with the difference that scotland is still part of the UK while Austria is not a part of Germany)
+jmkbartsch Well, Austrians are a mixture of ethnicities as well and Germans are only one of them. In Vienna practically everybody has ancestors from Hungary, Czech Republik, Slovakia,...in Burgenland you have the Croatians and Hungarians in Carinthia you have Slovenians...not only as ethnic minorities but also mixed in with "german" Austrians. So ethnically Austrians are not just german - and besides the language Austria has always had it´s own identity reaching back hundreds of years. Austria and Germany are not just seperated for 70 years - they were seperate before and just joined together for a short period in the 20th century. But yeah, the comparisons to Scotland/UK and Norway/Iceland are quite fitting. Of course there is a shared history and culture - the biggest part being the language - but there is no identification with Germany for 90% of all Austrians, according to a survey some years ago. So in short: Austrians are not Germans, Scots are not Englishman, Icelanders are not Norwegians, etc......
Well in short to quote wikipedia: "The Old High German name parallels the Middle Latin name ("eastern borderland"), alternatively called . The shorter Latinized name is first recorded in the 12th century. It has occasionally led to confusion, because, while it renders the Germanic word for "east" it is reminiscent of the native Latin term for "south", Latin australis meaning southern, and dates back to 2nd century legends of an "unknown southern land" (that is terra australis incognita)" and then turned to be the name giver for Australia. In the 90s some few postcards I sent back home, ended up in Australia, or sometimes, so I told them :-)
it sounds almost the same because austria is not called austria. its österreich in german. there is no connection between austria and its true name. its just a mispronounced version. the name comes from ostreich, which directly translates to eastern kingdom.
Australia comes from the Latin "Terra Australis" meaning "Southern Land." Austria is an anglicization of the German "Österreich" meaning "Eastern Realm" (it's still called this in German today) So it's merely a coincidence that the two country's names are similar.
"Spazieren gehen" literally just means "go for a walk". It's as much a word for "go for a walk" as "go for a walk" is a word for "go for a walk". I fail to see what is noteworthy about this.
Well, it is something we do. Like, you are bored in the evening, so you ask someone lets go for a walk. You want a casual Date with someone, you ask them, to go for a walk, if you are not inviting them over for coffee. Spazieren is also something the youth does. 16 year olds will go for walks just as likely as old people do.
well, if you would have spent decades in this country (no, I didn't grow up there so I know the difference), you start to realize it's a metaphor for Austrian culture, much more than the German "spazieren gehen" and the English "going for a walk". "Gemma spaziern", implies: "we don't talk face to face most of the time (aka confront our differences or even debate anything) and use the surroundings as inspiration for casual remarks (or are they strategic pointers well hidden?). Bottom line is: to get to know each other without admitting it (which having lunch/dinner/coffee etc kinda would).. It all seams casual but everyone is scanning verbal (and often nonverbal) information for subtext. A relaxed tolerance of complete ambivalence (some may want to call it a bit oportunistic:-) is key in Austria. There are no German or English words for "JeinJain" (the spectrum between yes and no). But there is an Austrian one: "Eh". And without understanding it connotations, being socially accepted may prove to be rather difficult.
not offitioaly if you revoke your nationality you are nationalises and are not protected by any national laws he gained German nationnality though a technicality. his berth nationality may be Austrian but by the 1930s he was German
And still he is born in Austria and no law will change that. i believe he himself even said something along the lines, that citizenship is just a piece of paper. In the end it counts where you where born/what nationality are your parents are and so Hitler, born in Austria to Austrian parents, is.... exactly, Austrian. To me and to most everybody except, well Austrians, because they pray their "Hitler changes nationalities" mantra. Guess what, nobody cares, he is still Austrian to us. ;)
and yet he faught for Germany in world war one erning the iron cross i think. and your annalogy about a dog is malformd the dog can not freely chose if its a dof or not a human on the other hand can chose there nationality though live in the country of there choice and requesting netionality and citizenship of that nation.
I heard about the movie "The sound of music" when I was studying abroad in Japan (never had an American looked so dumbfounded at me, an Austrian, for not knowing what the movie is about). And I didn't know that "spazieren gehen" is such an Austrian thing - I think I need to do some "spazieren gehen" to clear my head about recieving such a mindblowing fact xD'
I find in every video I learn new stuff about every country that I didn't know before and I thought I knew almost everything. This channel is by far the best for geography.
I mistakes in my videos too so make sure you read the info section for corrections, for example in this video I accidentally said Hungary was part of the Yugoslavian Empire and I misspelled "Germany" and "Hitler"
I´m not Austrian but I have been living in Austria for some years now and this is both very accurate, and also I learned something more about the country I am living in. Thanks a lot ! =)
It seems amazing just how hard you tried not to mention Slovenia through this entire video. Slovenia and Austria have a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG history together. I suggest you do a bit of research on it because it's actually quite interesting.
The Eagle Mapper Precisely, I was actually VERY upset that he blatantly refused to even mention Slovenia even though he had it on the map the whole time he was showing the neighboring country's. And yes, I would say that majority of ethnic Austrians have Slavic ancestry who were germanised by Bavarian Germans during the forceful christianisation of at the time fallen Charintian Kingdom and in the following centuries north Carinthia slowly became German speaking(Austrians), and south Charintians became Slovenians.
+Quinlan not true, austrians are germanic descendants and slavics are slavic. Though there were germanic people in the north of slovenia and they were sent to austria and the land was slovenianized (?) xd
Extra Info: When the Austrians gave South Tirol to Italy, the Italian leaders surpressed all the austrian inhabitands and forbid them to speak german (actually Tyrolian) in public places. They also forbid the teaching of german in schools. It got so bad, that a huge amount of people fled to austria, where they could live as an austrian. Then, only 20-30 Years ago, Italy gave austrians in South Tyrol all their rights, that they should have given them from the beginning on. Nowadays, ironically, people from all over Italy come to South Tyrol to see the Austrian culture and listen to their Volksmusik (folk music) That is an important part of the "South Tyrol handing over" but else GREAT VIDEO I really enjoyed it ;)
+blub It was given, but Italy wanted all the people there to speak Italian and be Italian. With no excuses. If Austria wouldn't have given it to Italy, there wouldn't be an Austria today. So Austria was kinda forced to. If you want to know why... ---> en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Saint-Germain-en-Laye_(1919)
The "Upper" and "Lower" thing is easily explained. Upper Austria is further upstream of the Danube River, while Lower Austria is further downstream. Egypt is a comparison that is easier to understand, where Lower Egypt is at the terminus of the Nile (in the north), while Upper Egypt is upstream (down south).
Well really its just because of the names of the territories of the former empire. They used to be called Austria above the Enns (Österreich ob der Enns) and Austria below the Enns (Österreich unter der Enns). Eventually this changed to Upper Austria (Oberösterrich) and Lower Austria (Niederösterreich). Its also worth noting that during the Nazi regime, in an effort to discourage identifying as Austrian (as opposed to German), Austria, Upper Austria and Lower Austria were renamed Ostmark, Upper Danube (Oberdonau) and Lower Danube (Niederdonau) respectively.
If you turn a map upside down, it's still geographically correct. Since there is no up and down in space, North can be down on a globe and south can be up. So just turn your globe upside down, and it all makes sense! :D Or you can just explain it with history...
Johanna Müller What would that matter? If Vojvodina (separate from Hungary) had a majority of Hungarian speakers, it still wouldn't be a part of Hungary. This would mean that Hungary still wasn't a part of Yugoslavia.
@Geography Now Few errors, at 8:30, Austria has ties with Serbia, Bosnia, but these aren't close ties, Only close ties from ex-YU Austria has is Croatia, there are some 250 000 Groats living in Austria, with additional 70 000 Burgerland Croats. Ties with Hungary are at best iffy and they do have close ties to Slovakia and Czech Republic. Slovenia is bit funny issues, Austrians have jokes about Slovenia as it is very small and situated between Croatia and Austria, 1 million Austrians spend their holidays in Croatia every year, and some 50 000 Austrians have homes in Croatia or live in Croatia on semi-permanent basis. Bosnia and Serbia no idea where you got the idea they've got close ties to Austria, perhaps cause there are some 200 000 Serbs in Austria ? Although Austria has closest ties with Germany and Switzerland; Croatia, Czech R and Slovakia after that; Italy, Slovenia, Hungary after that. Also when you do Croatia, Croatia has close ties to Bosnia. Austria, Slovenia, Germany, Italy and Hungary. due to historic reasons naturally; with Slovenia being butt of all jokes due to recent animosities over border and fishing rights, however overall relations are very good and go back to 1400s and 1523 in particular. Revolt against feudal lords, don't want to give you too much, you need to do some of your own research.
This is amazingly accurate, I actually learned something new. And I was born and spent 85% of my lifetime IN Austria. Must have been a shitload of work to research. Great work, dude, even after 6 years pretty spot on.
Despite its history influence, it is one of my favorite countries for vacation, especially Autumn and Winter :D I didnt even know about the almost-exclave, im sure gonna visit that one next! Greetings from The Netherlands.
@Prometheus _ meine Urgroßmutter wurde nach dem Krieg aus Böhmen verjagt. Meine Urgroßmutter war damals Hochschwanger, war ethnisch gesehen Deutsche, sprach aber nur gebrochenes Deutsch. Sie kam mit einem Koffer, ohne Mann (der fiel im Krieg) und mit 2 Kleinkindern und einem Ungeborenen in Wien an - alles andere musste sie zurücklassen. Gott Sei Dank fand sie eine Familie auf der Straße und erlaubte ihr in einer Wohnung zu schlafen, die sie nicht vermieten konnten, weil bis auf 2 Zimmer die Wohnung eingestürzt war (Bombentreffer) Einerseits mussten die Jahre für sie und ihre Kinder absoluter Horror gewesen sein, andererseits, wenn ich mir anschaue wie heruntergewirtschaftet das Dorf von den Kommunisten wurde und wie schrecklich zurückgeblieben die Gegend heute ist, bin ich froh dass die Tschechen, die sie als hochschwangere Witwe aus ihrem Haus und Dorf gejagt haben, heute in einem leblosen Dorf voller Bruchbuden leben müssen.
Austrians are the most clever people in the world. They have somehow convinced the world that Beethoven was Austrian and that Hitler was German.... ;-)
+Iciness TV MOZART ... not Beethoven. its rly not that hard, if you wanna try to be a smart ass do it right. And MOZART was born in Salzburg. At the day of his birth Salzburg wasn't ether Germany or Austria. It was simply Erzbischofstum Salzburg...
My Geography is appalling, and I got a job in Europe next year as a trip manager and THIS CHANNEL IS A GOD SEND! Thank you so much! Can't wait to watch more of your videos!
In Switzerland we have a joke about the austrian flag: When a german wonder what's the best country to go for working he look the flags. one have a plus, the other a minus, so they go to Switzerland
As an Austrian you are so so right about the dialect thing I personally only speak the normal German cz I couldn't care less learning it differently but I understand the others aswell Also yes were obsessed with titles the paper you get at the end of high school But I tbh am not into walks but most are Nice video btw :)
Comparing to murderers from Germany, all Austrian people was a angel. The occupied our land but they was good for us, that's why even now you can see influence from they culture in our regional culture.
Both World Wars started with an Austrian guy being at the wrong time at the wrong place
Hitler begin the second world war
Stone Sheep BigSaltCraft he was austrian.
Ww2 started when Hitler invaded poland

when will the Azerbaijan video be up
UPDATE!!!
YES I REALIZE I accidentally said "Hungary" at 5:18 when I said "Yugoslavian states" and Hungary was NOT part of Yugoslavia, I meant to say former "EMPIRE States!"

SORRY, I'm kind of in a hurry to get ready for Finland, This is what a video looks like when I kind of rush it.
I didin't notice the czech flag It doesn't really matter everyone in video's makes mistakes
serbia ?
Hey do Georgia

Theres a historical joke: Austria's greatest achievement is convincing the world that Beethoven was Austrian and Hitler was German
+Technologeek92 Mozart, not Beethoven. We don’t claim Beethoven.
+Horst Wrabetz I'm pretty sure that Salzburg was independent at that time. So technicaly Mozart was neither German nor Austrian.
+Comyu Calm down, there is no reason to be so angry.
I'll admit that "independent" wasn't the right choice of words, but Salzburg was its own nation from 1328 to 1803 (during the time mozart was born), but it was also part of the Holy Roman Empire.
Salzurg became the Habsburgs property in 1803 and part of the Austrian Empire in 1805.
It was then taken over by Bavaria in 1810 and reunited with Austria in 1816.
BTW I'm Austrian too.
Armin Reindl Austria was there before though. We even were a little germanic tribe at exactly our lands territory. Just with the name germanian. that doesnt mean we share anything with another country called after our language and old tribes
+Horst Wrabetz No at this time Salzburg was an indipendant prince-archbishopric.
We did not even let that guy study arts, the Germans elected him chancelor.
Gregor Gatterer hahahah😂😂😂

Although Austrians are ethnically German and speak German. Ironic that Austrians.try to distance themselves from Germany because of the whole Nazi thing, but Hitler was from Austria and Austria was very pro-Nazi in those days too.
@@oilersridersbluejays Austrians do not distance so much from Germany because of the whole nazi stuff. For many Austrians Germany is like the weird and nerdy schoolmate nobody wants to hang out with but after school they get along somewhat good. Austrians distance from Germany because there are a lot of cultural differences and they are simply not the same. Love-hate relationship I would say.
@@nero14ful genau so isses
Daaaaamn, well pronounced in the beginning. I'm impressed.
Even though "90% are Austrian" is only partially true. There is a saying, "every true Viennese man has a grandmother in Brno (which is in Czech Republic)". Vienna was one of the first melting pots in the world and some of their most common last names are of Slavic or Hungarian origin.
Also, courtesy is technically important, but for true Viennese people a passive aggressive tone with a hint of condescension is a must.
***** Yeah, sorry about that^^
GreenOnionBrother 9
It's not passive aggressive, it's just our naturally posh intonation xD
GreenOnionBrother My last name is German Origin (Germany)
GreenOnionBrother also, a lot of people in Carinthia are from Slovene descent. Only a few still speak slovene, but yeah their ancestors were slovenian.
Lower Austria is called lower Austria, because in the middle ages austria was divided in "Österreich ob der Enns" and " unter der Enns", which translates to "Austria above the (River) Enns" and "under the (River) Enns". So Upper Austria is called "Upper" because its situated over the River and Lower Austria because its situated lower the Enns.
Oh well, and I thought it had something to do with the fact, that in former times maps were not oriented to the north, but to the east... so upper austria had been placed to the upper side of the (hand drawn) map and lower austria was on the lower side on the map...
I think what it is presumed in the much more concise explanation by Mathias, is that upper and lower was often determined by the flow of the river, since water always flows downwards. In this specific case the River Danube flowing from west to east, the river Enns as a contributory river flowing from south to north, into the Danube forms the natural border of western/higher/ upper Austria from lower part of Austria along the river Danube.
This can be said about pretty much any region that uses lower or upper in the name (in German). Upper refers to higher altitude and lower refers to lower latitude (which then coincides with upstream/downstream of a river, since revers flow from higher elevation to lower elevation thanks to gravity)

It is called Upper Austria and Lower Austria because of their position along the Danube River. Lower Austria is further downstream, much in the same way Upper and Lower Egypt worked.
TacoSeniour This is not true, the border between Lower and Upper Austria is the river Enns. So Upper Austria is named because it lies on the „upper side“ - originally called „Österreich ob der Enns“ when it was Habsburg territory which became Oberösterreich („Upper Austria“).
Actually it's the Enns river (originally they were called "Austria above the Enns" and "Austria below the Enns") that gave it its name, and that is also the river that separates them.
ITS CALLED DDDDDDOOOOOONNNNNNNAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUU bruh
one has mountains, and therefore upper, the other is flat and therefore lower..case closed

I have been to Austria once and really impressed by its marvelous snow-capped forests and mountains (it was in winter).

I've got fed up with crowded places in China in the past 20 years and I really appreciate places as quite as that.
It's a bit ironic to hear someone say how quiet the Austrian mountains are in winter, when that is the time of year when those mountains are the most crowded due to tourism.
Though I guess it helps put things into perspective when what Austrians think of as a busy time is seen as quiet by our guests. :)

to make this clear:
-> No one in austria has ever seen the sound of music!
-> about titles, in schools austrian pupils have to call their teacher Professor, even If the teacher is just an magister XD
-> hitler never felt as austrian because he was one of the people who tought that the republic of austria had no right in beeing there, he even refused to go to the austria millitary like he had to but went to the german millitary withut force.
(he also got head of state in germany but was not accepted by the vienna art university)
-> In austria there is currently a trend where you wear letherpants and dirndl als everyday clothes ( a little bit altered though) and many older people did that anyways
also this video was hella funny to watch as an austrian bc it was right almost ever!!

@@ludomirsteinbruck9376 okay he self said that germans aren't proud to be germans. So even if in your blood is just a little chez or Belgium. German people say they belong to them because they are afraid to be considered as germans because everybody things we are murderers and racists. So how the hell do you think that they say we feel so German they all say we are Austrian because Austria don't feel guilty. Even Christopher Waltz who is half German half Austrian rather claims to be Austrian. I just wanna say don't always put your guilt just on Germany Austria help as well. It's easy to say just the germans did everything. I mean the hungarians sent their students to the KZ so they can watch how the get gassed but it was all Germany please start to think. Yes Germany started every thing but a lot ofthe other countries followed germany. Even Austria. The world is not that easy just to say he he is guilty and he not.

The south tyrol thing was actually kind of different. Austria was a looser of WWI so south tyrol was TAKEN AWAY from Austria because of a secret treaty, the treaty of London. In this treaty the Entente promised Italy South Tyrol when they help them fight Austria, wich they did. They lost lots of other parts, the Sudetenland for example, where also most of the people spoke german.
Italy had a tendency to switch sides in history, both in WW1 and in WW2. (They were part of the axis powers in WW2 and part of the "Dreibund" from 1892 until WW1, but switched sides later) And they got rewarded after WW1 by getting south tyrol. But nowadays, most south tyroleans don't want to go back to Austria because they got good deals from both countries, they can for example also use the health care system of austria in tyrol or if they study in austria, they are counted as austrians (which means higher quotas in comparison to EU-member states).
ita-eng subber Okay Venetia makes sense, but why South Tyrol though? It was without argument completely Austrian and should I remind you how people were mistreated in the first decades after South Tyrol was Italian? They weren’t allowed to learn german at schools and were treated as second class citizens which makes you wonder why Italy wanted South Tyrol in the first place
Le funny meme That is mostly true. Due to the dictatorship there was a strong attempt to italianize the land that partially succeded. Italy in the first place didn't want the whole Südtirol as it is historically called but longed for the Trentino which is the southern part of Tyrol and was/is inhabited mostly by italians. I guess we got the hole of it as a "consolation" from the allies since at the time Italy was far more interested in the dalmatian coast (with italian minorities) that we didn't get in the end
Aber die Tiroler sind immer noch Oestreicher im Herz.

That's kind of difficult. Yes, in cultural / ethnic Austrians are German, but after the Second World War both Austria and Germany were very anti-nationalistic, so they both never tried to unify and nowadays both, Germans and Austrians alike, rather see themselves as part of a united Europe. The EU has played a major role in German economic success and Austria is also one of the core-beneficials alongside Germany, France, the BeNeLux and the nordic countries. So there really is no need for national feelings towards Germany right now. But whoever wants to see himself as a German, feel free. Germany is open to whoever shares it's values.
+Oğulcan Kırmızıaltın

+jmkbartsch
Austrians are as german as Americans are english
+Modestoney I would say that Austrians and Germans are closer than Americans and British, because a) they are ethnically way closer (USA being made up of hundreds of ethnicities) and b) because they are only seperated for about 70 years while the US and the UK have been seperated for over 200 years. But yes, the comparison is still kind of fitting. I would rather use 2 countries like Norway and Island or maybe UK and Scotland ( with the difference that scotland is still part of the UK while Austria is not a part of Germany)
+jmkbartsch
Well, Austrians are a mixture of ethnicities as well and Germans are only one of them.
In Vienna practically everybody has ancestors from Hungary, Czech Republik, Slovakia,...in Burgenland you have the Croatians and Hungarians in Carinthia you have Slovenians...not only as ethnic minorities but also mixed in with "german" Austrians.
So ethnically Austrians are not just german - and besides the language Austria has always had it´s own identity reaching back hundreds of years.
Austria and Germany are not just seperated for 70 years - they were seperate before and just joined together for a short period in the 20th century.
But yeah, the comparisons to Scotland/UK and Norway/Iceland are quite fitting.
Of course there is a shared history and culture - the biggest part being the language - but there is no identification with Germany for 90% of all Austrians, according to a survey some years ago.
So in short: Austrians are not Germans, Scots are not Englishman, Icelanders are not Norwegians, etc......
As an Australian i have always wondered why we have similar names.
Well in short to quote wikipedia: "The Old High German name parallels the Middle Latin name ("eastern borderland"), alternatively called . The shorter Latinized name is first recorded in the 12th century. It has occasionally led to confusion, because, while it renders the Germanic word for "east" it is reminiscent of the native Latin term for "south", Latin australis meaning southern, and dates back to 2nd century legends of an "unknown southern land" (that is terra australis incognita)" and then turned to be the name giver for Australia. In the 90s some few postcards I sent back home, ended up in Australia, or sometimes, so I told them :-)
it sounds almost the same because austria is not called austria. its österreich in german. there is no connection between austria and its true name. its just a mispronounced version.
the name comes from ostreich, which directly translates to eastern kingdom.
Australia comes from the Latin "Terra Australis" meaning "Southern Land."
Austria is an anglicization of the German "Österreich" meaning "Eastern Realm" (it's still called this in German today)
So it's merely a coincidence that the two country's names are similar.
Coz kangaroos enjoy dancing to walzes and polkas ( cheap joke, hahaha )
Its NOT am anglicization, the name Austria is far too old for that. Actually it´s a latinized version of the german Österreich. @@lifeofabronovich7792

"Spazieren gehen" literally just means "go for a walk". It's as much a word for "go for a walk" as "go for a walk" is a word for "go for a walk". I fail to see what is noteworthy about this.
It's not even particularly Austrian, we say that up north, too.
Still, he can't get everything right.
Well, it is something we do.
Like, you are bored in the evening, so you ask someone lets go for a walk.
You want a casual Date with someone, you ask them, to go for a walk, if you are not inviting them over for coffee.
Spazieren is also something the youth does. 16 year olds will go for walks just as likely as old people do.
well, if you would have spent decades in this country (no, I didn't grow up there so I know the difference), you start to realize it's a metaphor for Austrian culture, much more than the German "spazieren gehen" and the English "going for a walk". "Gemma spaziern", implies: "we don't talk face to face most of the time (aka confront our differences or even debate anything) and use the surroundings as inspiration for casual remarks (or are they strategic pointers well hidden?). Bottom line is: to get to know each other without admitting it (which having lunch/dinner/coffee etc kinda would).. It all seams casual but everyone is scanning verbal (and often nonverbal) information for subtext. A relaxed tolerance of complete ambivalence (some may want to call it a bit oportunistic:-) is key in Austria. There are no German or English words for "JeinJain" (the spectrum between yes and no). But there is an Austrian one: "Eh". And without understanding it connotations, being socially accepted may prove to be rather difficult.
Hitler may have been born in Austria but he revoked his Austrian nationality after serving in the German army in World War one.
He was only like 5 days in war
And if a Dog revokes his status as dog, it's still a Dog and Hitler is still Austrian even if you don't like it.
not offitioaly if you revoke your nationality you are nationalises and are not protected by any national laws he gained German nationnality though a technicality. his berth nationality may be Austrian but by the 1930s he was German
And still he is born in Austria and no law will change that. i believe he himself even said something along the lines, that citizenship is just a piece of paper. In the end it counts where you where born/what nationality are your parents are and so Hitler, born in Austria to Austrian parents, is.... exactly, Austrian. To me and to most everybody except, well Austrians, because they pray their "Hitler changes nationalities" mantra. Guess what, nobody cares, he is still Austrian to us. ;)
and yet he faught for Germany in world war one erning the iron cross i think. and your annalogy about a dog is malformd the dog can not freely chose if its a dof or not a human on the other hand can chose there nationality though live in the country of there choice and requesting netionality and citizenship of that nation.
8:36 they got the Czech Republic flag wrong. 🇨🇿 Turned upside down. 😂

I heard about the movie "The sound of music" when I was studying abroad in Japan (never had an American looked so dumbfounded at me, an Austrian, for not knowing what the movie is about). And I didn't know that "spazieren gehen" is such an Austrian thing - I think I need to do some "spazieren gehen" to clear my head about recieving such a mindblowing fact xD'
I find in every video I learn new stuff about every country that I didn't know before and I thought I knew almost everything. This channel is by far the best for geography.
I mistakes in my videos too so make sure you read the info section for corrections, for example in this video I accidentally said Hungary was part of the Yugoslavian Empire and I misspelled "Germany" and "Hitler"
still very good work..i'm a fan

I love Austria 🇦🇹! I moved from the US 🇺🇸 when I was 10.
Diamond Laser nice
good decision :)
Love from the country with a really similar name, Australia.
Austria is an amazing place 🇦🇺♥️🇦🇹
just in english tho, in german austria native language is called österreich
Thanks to that similarity austrian souvenir shops make a ton of money with australian style signs with „no kangoroos here“ on them
At 8:15 you wrote "Hilter" instead of "Hitler" xD btw great video!
It seems amazing just how hard you tried not to mention Slovenia through this entire video. Slovenia and Austria have a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG history together. I suggest you do a bit of research on it because it's actually quite interesting.
The Eagle Mapper Yeah, Austrians are essentially just germanized Slavs. :D
Quinlan and took part of Styria and Carinthia
The Eagle Mapper Precisely, I was actually VERY upset that he blatantly refused to even mention Slovenia even though he had it on the map the whole time he was showing the neighboring country's. And yes, I would say that majority of ethnic Austrians have Slavic ancestry who were germanised by Bavarian Germans during the forceful christianisation of at the time fallen Charintian Kingdom and in the following centuries north Carinthia slowly became German speaking(Austrians), and south Charintians became Slovenians.
+Quinlan not true, austrians are germanic descendants and slavics are slavic.
Though there were germanic people in the north of slovenia and they were sent to austria and the land was slovenianized (?) xd
@@matt3ominer Nope
Extra Info:
When the Austrians gave South Tirol to Italy, the Italian leaders surpressed all the austrian inhabitands and forbid them to speak german (actually Tyrolian) in public places. They also forbid the teaching of german in schools. It got so bad, that a huge amount of people fled to austria, where they could live as an austrian. Then, only 20-30 Years ago, Italy gave austrians in South Tyrol all their rights, that they should have given them from the beginning on.
Nowadays, ironically, people from all over Italy come to South Tyrol to see the Austrian culture and listen to their Volksmusik (folk music)
That is an important part of the "South Tyrol handing over" but else GREAT VIDEO
I really enjoyed it ;)
KanaldeckelMagZuege South Tyrol was taken, not given. There's a sublime difference, isn't it?
+blub It was given, but Italy wanted all the people there to speak Italian and be Italian. With no excuses. If Austria wouldn't have given it to Italy, there wouldn't be an Austria today. So Austria was kinda forced to. If you want to know why... ---> en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Saint-Germain-en-Laye_(1919)
+KanaldeckelMagZuege Most people from Italy go there to Skii :P
well done!
btw: the residents of South-Tyrol would not call themselves Austrians, more likely Tyrolians (Tiroler).
br
an Austrian native!
Right, as north Tyrolean guy, if I am asked where I come from I 1st say "Tyrol which is a part from Austria" rather than saying "from Austria" 😂👍
@@MN-ch7pc komplett richtig, mia tiroler miasn zammhalten, wies unser lieber Günther Platter uns immer predigt hahahah
The "Upper" and "Lower" thing is easily explained. Upper Austria is further upstream of the Danube River, while Lower Austria is further downstream. Egypt is a comparison that is easier to understand, where Lower Egypt is at the terminus of the Nile (in the north), while Upper Egypt is upstream (down south).
Well really its just because of the names of the territories of the former empire. They used to be called Austria above the Enns (Österreich ob der Enns) and Austria below the Enns (Österreich unter der Enns). Eventually this changed to Upper Austria (Oberösterrich) and Lower Austria (Niederösterreich). Its also worth noting that during the Nazi regime, in an effort to discourage identifying as Austrian (as opposed to German), Austria, Upper Austria and Lower Austria were renamed Ostmark, Upper Danube (Oberdonau) and Lower Danube (Niederdonau) respectively.
If you turn a map upside down, it's still geographically correct. Since there is no up and down in space, North can be down on a globe and south can be up. So just turn your globe upside down, and it all makes sense! :D
Or you can just explain it with history...
Tamilsomg
Hungary was not part of Yugoslavia
Johanna Müller What would that matter?
If Vojvodina (separate from Hungary) had a majority of Hungarian speakers, it still wouldn't be a part of Hungary. This would mean that Hungary still wasn't a part of Yugoslavia.
David Egedi Hungary isn't a part of Yugoslavia read description
@Geography Now
Few errors, at 8:30, Austria has ties with Serbia, Bosnia, but these aren't close ties, Only close ties from ex-YU Austria has is Croatia, there are some 250 000 Groats living in Austria, with additional 70 000 Burgerland Croats. Ties with Hungary are at best iffy and they do have close ties to Slovakia and Czech Republic. Slovenia is bit funny issues, Austrians have jokes about Slovenia as it is very small and situated between Croatia and Austria, 1 million Austrians spend their holidays in Croatia every year, and some 50 000 Austrians have homes in Croatia or live in Croatia on semi-permanent basis.
Bosnia and Serbia no idea where you got the idea they've got close ties to Austria, perhaps cause there are some 200 000 Serbs in Austria ? Although Austria has closest ties with Germany and Switzerland; Croatia, Czech R and Slovakia after that; Italy, Slovenia, Hungary after that.
Also when you do Croatia, Croatia has close ties to Bosnia. Austria, Slovenia, Germany, Italy and Hungary. due to historic reasons naturally; with Slovenia being butt of all jokes due to recent animosities over border and fishing rights, however overall relations are very good and go back to 1400s and 1523 in particular. Revolt against feudal lords, don't want to give you too much, you need to do some of your own research.

This is amazingly accurate, I actually learned something new. And I was born and spent 85% of my lifetime IN Austria. Must have been a shitload of work to research. Great work, dude, even after 6 years pretty spot on.

@Prometheus _ meine Urgroßmutter wurde nach dem Krieg aus Böhmen verjagt.
Meine Urgroßmutter war damals Hochschwanger, war ethnisch gesehen Deutsche, sprach aber nur gebrochenes Deutsch. Sie kam mit einem Koffer, ohne Mann (der fiel im Krieg) und mit 2 Kleinkindern und einem Ungeborenen in Wien an - alles andere musste sie zurücklassen.
Gott Sei Dank fand sie eine Familie auf der Straße und erlaubte ihr in einer Wohnung zu schlafen, die sie nicht vermieten konnten, weil bis auf 2 Zimmer die Wohnung eingestürzt war (Bombentreffer)
Einerseits mussten die Jahre für sie und ihre Kinder absoluter Horror gewesen sein, andererseits, wenn ich mir anschaue wie heruntergewirtschaftet das Dorf von den Kommunisten wurde und wie schrecklich zurückgeblieben die Gegend heute ist, bin ich froh dass die Tschechen, die sie als hochschwangere Witwe aus ihrem Haus und Dorf gejagt haben, heute in einem leblosen Dorf voller Bruchbuden leben müssen.
