A lot of the disputed borders in the world are islands that multiple nations claim ownership of. The problem is there’s no differences on Google Maps as the borders are visually the same.
For the purposes of this video I have assumed that Google is politically neutral. There are a lot of good arguments against that assumption, but that’s a video for another day.
If you want to try this yourself, click on the name of your country in the bottom right when on Google Maps - this’ll let you change your region in settings. Google is blocked throughout most of China and isn’t on the list, however changing the top-level-domain to .cn can sometimes work. Even though Google is blocked in China already, many citizens find a way around it. Google are trying become reinstated, this means they still have to keep China's government onside.
Google Map Maker was discontinued in 2017, but a lot the features have been merged into main Google Maps site.
What do the people in the disputed region see?
Human Interests There was a time when Google Earth showed at least part of the borders going into sea. The border dispute remaining between the Netherlands and Germany is over precisely that. I don't exactly remember but I do recall the line Google drew was yellow, indicating no dispute. Not sure whether it was the Dutch line or the German line I was shown at the time, but I think it was the Dutch line.
By the time Google Earth had removed their borders in the sea, Google Maps decided they'd just give it all to The Netherlands, and then some, including a whole harbour. Google Maps too doesn't show borders in sea anymore
Come to think of it, the one other border dispute in Western Europe is over water. The Bodensee is surrounded by Germany, Switzerland and Austria, and all of them think differently about how the borders should be drawn. Switzerland thinks it knows how, Germany knows it doesn't know but doesn't think Switzerland has done it correctly either and Austria says to hell with borders, let's share it equally, even though it has a tiny coastline in the lake.

If you're standing in the disputed area, and you have access to the internet; what does google show you then?
If you are in Crimea, for example, and using Ukraine's internet provider Google will recognize your Ukrainian IP a show you a Ukrainian version of the map and vice versa.
that is usually the best indicator of who actually controls the land
whoever owns the internet owns the country. hold on, that is actually kinda true!
Well depend on whose country internet u using , its as simple as that🙄
BhargavGV no,, because it depends on your IP not the settings.

Soldiers: Well if you look on this map, see this line? Well we've moved it on the map from here...to here.
Me: Oh...I see. Anything else I need to know?
Soldiers: Well not really. The people you pay tax to will change, but other than that, pretty much just carry on.
Me: Ok. Great. Thanks for letting me know.
Soldiers: No problem at all. Have a nice day.

Borders are uniquely human?
Tigers, dogs, wolves and many more mark their territories, same as borders for them
GYANDEEP SINGH (B15EE014) We are talking about strictly defined borders in a legal sense here. That is a concept uniquely human and relatively modern. The territories of animals shift in a shorty period of time. Relatively fluid borders had always been a norm for humans for thousands of years as central authorities of ancient time could hardly exert effective controls over the population having resided near borderlands. It is not only until the recent two centuries the borders become relatively stable. Yet, it still remains somewhat arbitrary.
@@zliu4208 I will mark my territory (howls and pisses at the same time)
Google map is nice and all but it's 2018 and some time google still tells me to drive through someone's house in order to get to my destination.
That living room was a calculated casualty by Google anyway; no minorities nor women lived there so Google says it's fine
Sitting on Ceilings I always have to cycle across water there.
Jon Irenicus When I visit family in New York google maps tells me to drive through the ocean.
Well maybe theres an uner ground bunker you were supposed to go through but someone acccidentally plopped a house ontop of it. Just drive through adn say: "Sorry, Google Says your house shouldn't be here."

This video is awesome man - thanks, love the humour!
The research, presentation and production value is absolutely astounding. Please don't take this the wrong way, but you're like one of those clickbait fact channels but if they turned around and hit you with an in-depth, well-rounded presentation of ideas about a given subject instead of using a Buzzfeed article as a script. I would wish you luck with TH-cam, but you don't need it.
I saw this video a bunch of times in my recommendations and looked a little bit too click baity, so I avoided it. But I'm glad I finally decided to take a look.
most likely it will be censored in those countries, not to worry
This video wouldn't be allowed in india or china xD A lot of things on their internet is not allowed. But remember, They are not the only countries who do this.

Things CAN be successfully censored on the internet, and it's quite easy to do so. Ive been to quite a few countries and its odd when you try to look up major historical events that happened in the country and NOTHING can be found about it on google in that country. This especially happens in China.
6:07 Nothing is best left for youtube comments
YOU are 'youtube comments'. Do you really think nothing should be left for you?
Lol, as you can tell by this comment section... Every other comment is one is saying the person before them is wrong and an idiot.

Really nice video, we have to respect to your hardwork!
Borders are not a "uniquely human concept" Other primates, ants, cats, dogs, etc all have territorial borders that are fiercely defended.
well look at your house it has walls and your front door is a border from the outside
Humans having a concept of borders was never contested. Re-read my comment.
just because i made a comment doesnt mean im contesting yours im just adding my own take
The human frontier does not work in the same way as the animal border. Because if an animal came out of its territory, whatever the period, it will not declare war to recover it.
For us it lasts whatever the circumstances while for them it is temporary, their territory is linked to their own position in nature.
th3dead well they won't declare war per se but they would fight. in the animal kingdom animals fight for territory, they also defend territory.
What an incredible thing. I never knew Minnesota was disputed between Canada and the US until I visited Japan a few weeks ago.
primaltare how
WTF
Yathei Tsang - Ikr? I was shocked too
It is?
lol everyone believed you
Apparently the Netherlands (my home country) and Germany have a small border dispute over the exact border in the Dollart bay. There are no fights over it, but it seems weird that two good allies still haven't officially come to a solution. Then again there are more important situations going on in the world I guess...
Yes Germany does not do things the old way...

I'm from Costa Rica, and can tell you from personal experience that the whole situation was just plain stupid. Nicaragua thinking that they own a piece of land just because a website says so is unexplainable.
I agree with you 100%, but that isn't what he was saying in the video. Basically, he explained that Google is a huge resource used across the world, and as a result, the majority of people not familiar with the region would likely accept the Nicaraguan claim just because that's what it looks like on google maps. That doesn't actually make the land a part of Nicaragua at all, but it does make people around the world that don't know about what Nicaragua did think it does.

I've seen something similar to this video before.

A really new point of view for me. Very intresting tnks for the video
A great presentation of the information with a well considered analysis - I never thought about maps being different depending on who's drawing them. I assumed they were more static and internationally defined, but this has given me a lot to think about.
Thanks.
This is a great video. I went ahead and subbed. Kudos

In Italian's Google maps Crimea is Russia but Italy don't recognize Crimea as Russian territory
Giuseppe Galiano But if you travel to Crimea you will pass Russian border control and you need Russian visa there. Even though Russia annexed Crimea using brainwashing techniques and military intervention.
Aquila Romana There was a Russian majority in a majority of republics at the point of USSR collapse. Still not all of them joined Russia. I am Russian and I have no intention of moving to Russia. Ethnicity does not connect you to a cleptocracy automatically. Belarus has Russian speaking up to 70% and it isn’t joining Russia. Being Russian does not necessarily mean living in Russia.

I’ve seen many different versions of maps of China. Some maps include literally more territories than the official political map used in China.
Nehco Oahnait in some maps it gives china all the land of other countries because of this
most of the western countries don’t care about there borders
are you looking at a taiwan map? because taiwan claims way more territories than china
Here in Finland we have some Swedish-speaking regions around west coast: Google has desided to translate every road there to swedish(!), like it could be Sweden territory? Not good to travel there as Finn, because suddenly my Google Maps turns itself to Swedish Google Maps, I cannot change it and Google won't respond to contacts. Just feels like Google is enforcing the "swedification" of those regions?
As a Swede I find that weird
I thought you speak almost the same
Google has bullied the Swedish Goverment over a Word once.

I just checked catalonia as "disputed territory" LMAO
If Spain doesn't want it to be disputed, it should treat Catalonia better. That might actually solve it.
I mean by all means, Spain can probably send its troops around freely there, and may be able to collect its taxes. Mostly. Civil disobedience though, that's a lot harder to stop. Well unless they start executing a lot of people... which doesn't tend to turn out well.
Pretty sure the Spanish know that, too. Anyone who's taught how big their country used to be, also inevitably wonders why it's so small now.
+sorsocksfake actually, the smart people dont wonder why its so small now. they learn the parts the government is to ashamed to show and figure out all the factors that made their country fall. then look for the same factors in their country now and do their best to eradicate them to the best of their ability to make sure it doesnt happen at all

The one where you dropped the man and it went strait to google hq was sooooo cool
Super interesting - now I wonder what Google's process for determining these boundaries is!!
Thanks. 1.They ask the countries themselves. 2.They ask international bodies (UN, etc) 3.They use what they call the "Primary Local Usage Rule" which is basically how locals practically use the land.
What happens if you stand in Arunachal Pradesh and check google maps? Great video
Lasse Lindenhoff Heide arunachal pradesh is part of india go and ask people of arunachal pradesh.
Most of the people living in arunachal Pradesh use Indian IP, so they will be seeing what other Indians see. Not a surprise tbh considering that people from their can easily travel to other Indian states but not China lol
Lasse Lindenhoff Heide China has no actual control over Arunachal Pradesh, so everyone there will see it as part of India.
If you use Indian internet,Google recognizes the map and shows it as India. Same for China.
India of course, it belongs to India. China has no say over that region. Also, China can fuck off.
My husband's grandparents put up a novelty driveway sign featuring their last name. It's a long driveway that goes past a few homes, so no surprise that once Google mapped the area, Turner Lane became an official road name.
I live in Assam, India, which borders Arunachal Pradesh. Both Assam and Arunachal Pradesh are Indian states in Northeast India. My father worked for the Arunachal Pradesh Government and i was born in Itanagar which is the capital city of Arunachal Pradesh. I was brought up in Arunachal Pradesh and then we came back to our Ancestral home in Assam.
Arunachal Pradesh is a part of India and run and administered by solely by India. So it shouldn't be considered disputed.
