BRITISH PATHÉ'S STORY
Before television, people came to movie theatres to watch the news. British Pathé was at the forefront of cinematic journalism, blending information with entertainment to popular effect. Over the course of a century, it documented everything from major armed conflicts and seismic political crises to the curious hobbies and eccentric lives of ordinary people. If it happened, British Pathé filmed it.
Now considered to be the finest newsreel archive in the world, British Pathé is a treasure trove of 85,000 films unrivalled in their historical and cultural significance.
British Pathé also represents the Reuters historical collection, which includes more than 136,000 items from the news agencies Gaumont Graphic (1910-1932), Empire News Bulletin (1926-1930), British Paramount (1931-1957), and Gaumont British (1934-1959), as well as Visnews content from 1957 to the end of 1984. All footage can be viewed on the British Pathé website. www.britishpathe.com/

@@ruwiki I agree that the name changes shouldn't be on the list, but not all of the elements are wrong. Yugoslavia - a federation of states which all separated and went their own way, including Serbia. Serbia was not just a rebranded Yugoslavia Soviet Union - same as above. in fact, ironically they existed, for a short period of time, only in Kazakhstan. Russia declared independence prior to the formal dissolution of the Union, so for a time both Russia and the Soviet Union existed at the same time Tibet - was annexed by another country, so it no longer exists as a nation United Arab Republic - split up into two states which held none of the governmental structures of the past regime, therefore it no longer exists East Germany - voluntarily joined West Germany, thereby stopping to exist as a nation. Did you write this just to act smart? Because if you did you failed miserably.

Democratic Kampuchea. Though it occupied the same area as modern day Cambodia, the Khmer Rouge regime that ruled between 1975 and 1979 made it a historical oddity for Southeast Asia: A comprehensively totalitarian and genocidal state that sought to reverse sociocultural evolution and revert the nation to an agrarian ideal by targeting not only undesirable social classes but the population as a whole. This was to be achieved through mass campaigns of killings and forced labour, effectively turning the country into a network of gulags.

The country named 'Ceylon' ( by the three colonial powers i.e. Portuguese, Dutch and the British), has not ceased to exist or lost its sovereignty. It has only changed its name to 'Sri Lanka' ( like 'Siam' to 'Thailand') which means in the Sinhala language ' Respendent Isle', on May 22, 1972, when the country declared itself a Republic and shed its dominion status in the British Commonwealth. The original name of ' Ceylon' prior to the arrival of the Portuguese in 1505 was ' Sinhale' that had lasted for more than two thousand years. The early travellers to Ceylon such as the Chinese Buddhist monk Fa Hien ( 410 A.D.) in his 'Record of Buddhistic Kingdoms: Being an Account of His Travels in India and Ceylon' refer to Ceylon / Sri Lanka as the ' Sinhaladipa' ( Island of the Sinhala people). Fa-Hien's writings and those of another Chinese Buddhist monk Xuan Zang (also known as Heung Tsang )as well as other ancient Chinese records referred to Sri Lanka as the land of Sinhalas. The different Chinese names Shizi guo, Sit Tio, Si Tiao, She Tiao, Seng-Kia-lo denoted the same meaning - Simhala, Sinhaladipa or Kingdom of the Lions. see www.sundaytimes.lk/031123/plus/3.htm archives.dailynews.lk/2010/05/22/fea04.asp Senaka Weeraratna Colombo, Sri Lanka

I'm not sure I agree with some of these. Siam is Thailand. Simply a name change to better reflect the people. The Soviet Union was Russia with a name change for about 70 years. Yes parts of it broke away but IMO it was still Russia.

"Bangkok" is also the name given by Westerners. Bangkok is actually just a small district in Krung Thep (pronounced "Groong Tape"). I know you're a Westerner who has probably never been to Thailand, but the pronunciation was pretty bad. Sorry. I know you're just giving history, but I wish people would look into correct pronunciation before making a video.

Another fun fact- "Thailand" or Pra Tate Thai in Thai, means land of the free. Thai = Free -when translated.

GrigorijRasputin That is how it is said in Thai. If you're picky and want phonetic spelling it's this- gʊŋteɪp Unfortunately, I'm not sure how to add a tonal marker, as Thai is a tonal language, over the phonetic spelling, but it's Mid + Falling

what's the name of the classical piece that starts at 4:21 ?

@beth12svist 7 жыл бұрын

Vltava by Bedřich Smetana. Might also be known by the German name of the river it's named after and represents - the river in Prague - Moldau. It's from a cycle called "Má vlast" - "My country", probably the best known part of it, and generally one of the best known pieces of Czech classical music, definitely among Czechs.

Okay, I'm confused about what this video said about Siam. Does it no longer exist? Or did it just change it's name? I think there is a big difference between the two. Additionally, a change in boarders, or a change in governments (even types of governments) does not mean that a country no longer exists.
