It makes sense. People who go to N Korea REALLY want to go and are likely to see it in a positive light no matter what it is like. And those that allow them to come in are doing it for propaganda and will keep them from negative experiences.

North korea have tourists of course is not many like is little bit more than 50.000 every year so is not the safest country but still not the most dangerous and i am not kidding around 30 countries have less visitors than north korea
You can see that some states in Africa and Asia are gray like the North Korea is. That means people don’t travel in those countries so much. For example some central African states are gray because they just don’t have tourists. Or some states on the middle east are also gray because there is a war conflict so no one wanna attend them.

The reasons in America that the metric system wasn’t fully integrated in 1975 was because the law President Ford signed was a voluntary not mandatory one.

@awesomealgodoo the UK as a nation did not exist first of all until 1707 then expanded in 1801. In 1529 both England and Scotland had their own monarchies and parliament's and Ireland its own full parliament. The Union of Crowns did not happen until 1603 when King James VI of Scotland ascended to the English throne to become King James I of England and Great Britain. However, Scotland would still have its own full parliament until 1707 when the Scottish Parliament dissolved itself and joined with the parliament in London. In 1801 the British and Irish parliament's united. So, in 1529 it should be the St George's Cross, which is one part of the Union (British) flag - the other two parts being the St Andrew's Cross, Scotland and the St Patrick's Cross, historical Ireland.
@@johndeuchars897 While the English and Scottish crowns were united in 1603 and their parliaments were united in 1707, I'd argue that it was the civil war of the 1640s that really made Scotland part of the British nation...
Same with Finland, people here really dont like tourists as they behave badly and just trash our nature. Especially in lappland. Then there are those "heroes" who come driving in winter while being from country which gets zero snow. Yeah you probably know what is gonna happen next. Well this is more country specific as some groups are more worse than others. Most welcome tourist groups are Nordic ones here.

Italy only invaded the part that now is Eritrea and it was never recognized. They don't even set a government. Also, invading it's not colonizing. A Colonization takes way more time than a invasion.

There is a limit to the amount of detail possible in a 1080p video, plus the panning away from areas I'm interested in (like the legend) is a tad annoying. Can you post the maps in the description so we can look at them ourselves while we listen to the video?
the illusion of the upside-down map seeming smaller may be because it's a full world map using the Mercator projection. So the huge Russia, Greenland and Canada make everything else seem extremely small from our perspective.
Pangean map was incorrect. Where is Russia? I mean it can't be all of that territories from Germany to Japan and Australia appears only after split of Pangea.
The government of the US did adopt the metric system, civilians refused to switch and the government didn't make them. "The United States has official legislation for metrication; however, conversion was not mandatory and many industries chose not to convert, and unlike other countries, there is no governmental or major social desire to implement further metrication."
That map is quite subjective. First Japan along with China and several other Asian nations signed many "unequal treaties," giving the western powers of the US, the UK, Russia, France, Germany, Portugal and Austria Hungary influence and sometimes control over East Asian territories. After world war two all Japanese islands north of Hokkaido were ceded to the USSR. As I mentioned before the east Asian powers had to cede much of there power to western countries through "unequal" treaties, the western powers divided Asia into zones of influence, Russia's sphere included Manchuria and Korea, whilst Russia did lose there influence in East Asia after the Russo-Japanese war and the two Russian revolutions they would later declare war on the empire of Japan in 1945, they occupied Manchuria and northern Korea before Japan signed an armistice and later a peace treaty, whilst the USSR ceded Manchuria to the PRC post-war they set up a regime in North Korea which was in it's early a satellite state of Russia, something it had in common with its southern neighbour. Whilst Thailand/Siam was never colonised it had to cede its territories in Laos and Cambodia as well as small strips of land on the Malayan and Burmese border, Siam was influenced by France and Brittian as they both had colonial interest in the area, they later decided to have Siam act as a buffer state between there empires.

When the treaty of tordesillas was signed only a few islands in the Caribbean had been discovered. Nobody knew Brasil existed at all, it was not a concession in America. Basically the intention of the Portuguese was ensuring no interference from the Spanish in the route by the south of Africa and India
I'd interpret the unfriendliness to visitors to be directly correlated to countries that have a long history of racism and use of propaganda to make foreigners out to be either lesser or a corrupting influence. So russia, china, korea, saudi arabia etc. Notice what I'm saying? So i suppose, technically, yes. It is "local culture" making them unfriendly.

Loved it! Thank you. I found your pangea-map the most interesting of all. Thanks again.
Ah yes, Ireland. Welcoming Visitors with carbombs. Very Welcoming Indeed.
There is a limit to the amount of detail possible in a 1080p video, plus the panning away from areas I'm interested in (like the legend) is a tad annoying. Can you post the maps in the description so we can look at them ourselves while we listen to the video?

“Canada and Sweden”
Me: *looks at Sweden then Finland*
_seems legit_
NiteX not only that, but he drew a field hockey stick. Field hockey is honestly more similar to soccer than ice hockey.
the illusion of the upside-down map seeming smaller may be because it's a full world map using the Mercator projection. So the huge Russia, Greenland and Canada make everything else seem extremely small from our perspective.
“Canada and Sweden have ice hockey” Finland: am I a joke to you?
Pangean map was incorrect. Where is Russia? I mean it can't be all of that territories from Germany to Japan and Australia appears only after split of Pangea.
Underwater
He didn't show the entire map of Pangea. Russia and other parts of Asia and Europe are more to the north of what he showed us.
5:09 where is the other half of Europe 😂?
Yes indeed, where is Belgium?
More obviously, where are China and Russia ?
Oh..

The government of the US did adopt the metric system, civilians refused to switch and the government didn't make them.
"The United States has official legislation for metrication; however, conversion was not mandatory and many industries chose not to convert, and unlike other countries, there is no governmental or major social desire to implement further metrication."
Iranian people are extremely friendly,one of the best places i have yet visited.
AFL has to be No.1 in Australia & Cricket as No.2 over there
vivek sharma yeah definitely, I know a lot of people who love afl but dislike cricket
Yep 100%. AFL leads in most popularity categories
can you please call burma Myanmar, its rather insulting to call it burma, its like calling USA the thirteen colonies
Mate you can call it either name.
I think that the African continent is shaped like a horse's head when viewed with the northeast being above and the southwest being below.
That map is quite subjective. First Japan along with China and several other Asian nations signed many "unequal treaties," giving the western powers of the US, the UK, Russia, France, Germany, Portugal and Austria Hungary influence and sometimes control over East Asian territories. After world war two all Japanese islands north of Hokkaido were ceded to the USSR.
As I mentioned before the east Asian powers had to cede much of there power to western countries through "unequal" treaties, the western powers divided Asia into zones of influence, Russia's sphere included Manchuria and Korea, whilst Russia did lose there influence in East Asia after the Russo-Japanese war and the two Russian revolutions they would later declare war on the empire of Japan in 1945, they occupied Manchuria and northern Korea before Japan signed an armistice and later a peace treaty, whilst the USSR ceded Manchuria to the PRC post-war they set up a regime in North Korea which was in it's early a satellite state of Russia, something it had in common with its southern neighbour.
Whilst Thailand/Siam was never colonised it had to cede its territories in Laos and Cambodia as well as small strips of land on the Malayan and Burmese border, Siam was influenced by France and Brittian as they both had colonial interest in the area, they later decided to have Siam act as a buffer state between there empires.
10:35 is Dutch hard to pronounce? Saying Den Haag as The Hage made me very uncomfortable for some reason lol
Suzanne Parandeh
- Don't take it badly but Dutch is damn hard to pronounce. Maybe not so much for people from North Europe, Germany, etc.
But for anyone based on Latin languages it's a reality. ;-)
Cheers
am i the only one triggered by that peninsula in west-central Africa
6:11 sure, we use the liter for some things, but we use fluid ounces, pints, quarts, and gallons for way more
Iranians are some of the most friendliest people towards foreigners.
There was a time where east was the upside of maps.
Matthew Gaddie Pre-Renaissance Christian European maps had Jerusalem, which is east of Europe, at the top because of theological reasons, as the holy site of Jesus’ crucifixion.
#Orientation (Literally, etymolically)
8:33 It says that Pakistan is unsafe. Yet it depends on what that means, for locals its very safe since we know how to live safely if a foreigner starts living like they live in Canada, bad things will happen.
When the treaty of tordesillas was signed only a few islands in the Caribbean had been discovered. Nobody knew Brasil existed at all, it was not a concession in America. Basically the intention of the Portuguese was ensuring no interference from the Spanish in the route by the south of Africa and India
ate least caucasusu has never been colonized by europeans
Gigi Shekiladze caucausus was russian land for some time and georgia if caucasian is european
Burma is Myanmar now pls remember this
No one cares
@@samuelOPM The people of Myanmar probably do
Pretty sure most burmese people only use Myanmar while writing formally but use Burma while speaking.
@@theodorestrandh399 Interesting
in the first one Mexico still keeps the traditions that were originally there
I'd interpret the unfriendliness to visitors to be directly correlated to countries that have a long history of racism and use of propaganda to make foreigners out to be either lesser or a corrupting influence.
So russia, china, korea, saudi arabia etc. Notice what I'm saying?
So i suppose, technically, yes. It is "local culture" making them unfriendly.
Too many mistakes for a channel that is called "general knowledge"... maybe General Ignorance suits better :)
Just kidding, I love this channel, but as a Latvian living in Sweden I noticed this 2 mistakes immediately. Get a grip, you better than this.
10:30 - What about holy Israel? They have most of the embassies in Tel Aviv, but the government in Yerushalayim/Jerusalem
There is no country called Israel there is only palastine
Freedom for palastine 🇵🇸
as ive heard the maps of both " which country drives on which side"
and "which country made drinking animal urine illegal" are surprisingly similar
Haven't watched this yet but I recognised the thumbnail map straight away, because what countries drive on the left is one of my lifelong obsessions.
Make a video on oman
5:55 They easily could! If all 3 countries started to turn over right now I suspect the USA would change by around 2060 and the other two by 2040
Will MakeContentOneDay the us could do it even quicker if they did it by states instead of all in one
Alucard are from the US? That would definitely not work😂
"In India, Pakistan, Australia and Bangladesh, cricket is the most popular."
*Afghanistan waving at the back to be seen*
What about New Zealand??
@@meowmeow890 sorry didnt see
These maps help us see our world from a new perspective. Hope so this channel uploads more such videos on world maps.
