Florida and it is led by florida man

Brazil had a few "independent" not recognized countrys, like the República Riograndense wich fougth the Empire in a civil war for years and proclaimed two other countrys in the process, the República Juliana was one of them.

Can you do Europe next like the German/Italian Independent states before being united in the late 1800s. And The Republic of Venice, And Finally, The Saar territory.

The Welsh state set up in Patagonia would’ve been good!

Forgotonia, while semi non serious was an area in Western Illinois during the 20th century.

Man you are everywhere!

The power of Florida Man conquers all.

There also seems to be confusion about tribes and their associations. The Creeks were a confederation dominated by Muskogee-speaking Upper and Lower Creeks, treated as one by outside powers.

Florida man the funniest superhero

Alaska uses boroughs instead of counties. And before you say its not mainland...it IS on the Mainland continent of North America.

You mean French yellow belly snakes back ground

@@tylerrebik7700 Correct. Mainland but not contiguous.

as a former louisianian i can confirm this

It sucks here.

Thats what i thought

How do he pronounce rios like that? Its weird

I can only speak enough Spanish to get by in Mexico and can't read it hardly at all but even I thought it sounded....off somehow

i found it more french than portuguese, at least the r´s

Israel Benítez Jiménez maybe, but since he is from portugal you can sympathize with his approach. Love him btw, just found his pronunciation funny

'ello 'ello

Oy' you got a loicense to be your own republic?

@@General.Knowledge I just gotta add I was just taking the piss I wasn't tryin to be mean or nothin. For all I know that's how they're really pronounced, but in Georgia (the good one, not the country) we pronounce em differently. Hey at least you got Creek right tho... Really love your vids bro keep up the good work

So wrong and consistent I thought it was a computer at first. Figure out how to pronounce those properly, throw in Scotch Irish, a smattering of high born London merchants, a pinch of German, French and Spanish and you finally understand the "southern" accent.

@Ginger At that time "Upper" and "Lower" was refering to rivers flow. Upper Canada was built around Saint-Lawrence/Great-Lakes bassins upper of the Saint-Lawrence rapids between Grand-Sault and Lachine while Lower-Canada was built around the Saint-Lawrence River downstream of thoses rapids up to the sea.

The names originate from British colonization, there was upper and lower Canada. Lower Canada was down stream, and upper Canada was upstream (Ottawa River).

@@greyjay9492 Looks like I was wrong even with my own country's history.

You didn't need a source. That was obvious. He just failed to realise that.

@@-SUM1- Oh.

That would have been awesome !

Anyone know why the flag is so similar to the Norwegian?

@@OddRagnarDengLerstl It's probably just a coincidence.

thanks

Zakary Loreto Well he is Portuguese so he probably just forgot that it was a Spanish word and pronounced it in a Portuguese way.

"Entre Rios" is also a portuguese name. There's some places in Portugal called that

Or he just has an accent??

There is no 'portuguese' pronunciation of the letter r. Both are okay, some people say it like general knowledge like in lisbon and many others like where i and like in Porto and the north in general roll the R's just like in spanish

Sou de São Paulo e também nunca tinha ouvido falar disso hahah

Idem.

I live in Vila Velha, Espírito Santo and was surprised see that too.

Eu já tinha ouvido essa história, mas não sabia que essa ilha fazia parte do Espírito Santo! Pensei que era um território federal sei lá.

Closer to sea level. What else could it mean? The "north" direction is basically 90 degrees away from being up. It is like saying tomatoes are red is misleading because they are actually blue.

No it doesn't it has to do with the way the rivers run. There was Upper Canada, (Ontario) Where the rivers run north towards the Hudson Bay, and Lower Canada, (Quebec) where the rivers run to the Atlantic Ocean.

@@Sethq1 yeah, the same is true in example ancient Egypt, where lower kingdom was North where the Nile delta is, South being the Upper Egypt

you are wrongly associating low with south and up with north. In these cases people didnt think of a map but instead they considered the altitude of the place. normally the nearer you are to the ocean, the lower you are and in the case of the rivers, they always go from high elevations to lower ones, because of gravity

Pretty sure Upper Canada was “upper class” and Lower Canada was “lower class”. No directions.

He is Portuguese

As a Spanish speaker I pronounce the j in Rio de Janeiro the way he says the r in Rios.

Hernan Posada If you ever do that it Rio you might actually get murdered. Pronounce the J like a J in English atleast. And R in Rio you don’t roll it’s pronounce like the H in English. The R in janeiro you roll tho. Portuguese is a bit confusing.

Escuchaste la canción de crónica al final del vídeo jajdkahdjajs

RFT Wow no way they don’t actually murder you? What a surprise!!!!!!

Tweak to your tweak if you don't mind. We're lazy down here, it's just the Northshore. But yes, Louisiana doesn't have counties but Parishes.

Another minor tweak to the tweak, Alaska also does not have counties, only two states do not, Alaska has boroughs.

Alaska has boroughs

and there was a battle to depose the spanish government. baton rouge had been built up by the spanish as an administrative counterweight to the giant commercial hub of new orleans but the english language took hold especially after the american revolutionary war and continued decline of privateering in the gulf when lots of English speaking loyalists and privateers settled in the region, like the afforementioned William Augustus Bowles in Florida. The people in West Florida were the most pro american and stormed fort san marcos in Baton Rouge successfully. But similar bloody rebellions in Mobile and Pensacola failed as the local populace despite being largely english speaking favored Spain and Britain over America and New Orleans. In fact the president of the short lived West Florida Republic fiercely campaigned to only join the US if it could be a state separate from New Orleans and the rest of Louisiana, but he failed to do so.

"It would have been the best for us" No mames, que estupideces dices Jajajajajajajaja 🤣🤣🤣

And a very American way of speaking English.

@@mikesaunders4775 Yes, I noticed... just not the usual American pronunciation of Native American names.

También se te olvidó que el filibustero también se quiso apropiarse de Sonora y así anexarlo a los norteamericanos. El men también fue enviado al istmo de Tehuantepec pa los gringos (aunque e oído que es nomas una leyenda) y finalmente se hizo presidente de Honduras y se quiso unirse a los Estados Unidos.

He did the same thing in Nicaragua after he was thrown out of Mexico.

@@thay.s.m.3278 Yeah, that's because you can't even write in English. Since you can't speak anything but Portuguese, everything mispronounced by a native Portuguese speaker sounds fine to you.

@@San_Vito bro are u serious you probably only speak English lmao

Seemed more like a Brazilian accent because of how he pronounced r

@acammtt i know, but he could of said the name of the country in an english pronunciation. even then its not really a problem to me if he said it on a portuguese accent

@@freya5902 thanks for correcting me, english is not my first language i'll make sure to not do that mistake again

I never heard Upper Canada was trying to be a breakaway state, as Lower Canada ( Quebec) has been

@@Tony99949 I meant that at the beginning they were two separate countries that later founded the Confederation

Maybe that explains why there is a London in Ontario

MarioLLL They were not two separate countries, but in fact the original 2 provinces of Canada. After the rebellions in both Upper and Lower Canada they were joint as a single colony and would eventually form the core of the Dominion of Canada by incorporating the Maritime provinces and growing west. This is probably why, to this day, the core of Canada is located between Quebec City and Windsor.

@@matthewhemmings2464 Thanks for clarifying! I guess I already forgot most of this from when I studied for my citizenship exam :p

Hey at least it was mostly for good reasons then! Now days it's not so much good but we had good intentions at the start if you don't count slavery

@Ginger hundreds of millions is way too much the number is much lower

@Barbara Debel There is no Continent called America. There are two continents North America and South America. This isn't political it is geology. To suggest they are the same Continent would be similar to saying Asia and Africa are the same Continent. I am all for the individual nations of North and South America being cooperative, but no way to being a single unified nation or even something like the European Union. Too big, too many differences. As for getting upset about American being a term for a citizen of the United States, get over it. There is no other nation on Earth with America in the name, and there is no way people will colloquially call someone an "United States of American". That term is a mouthful and ugly grammatically. Kind of like you wouldn't call a person from China a "People's Republic of Chinese". If you are referring to someone based on Continent then again American would not suffice as there are two Continents with America in the name so you need the additional clarification.

@@jamess7576 All of this is totally debatable because the exact definition of "continent" is not agreed upon by any community, be it scientific or otherwise: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continent#Definitions_and_application Also, many many geographers argue that Eurasia and Africa are, indeed, a single continent. Also, for Geology, the definition is more complex because it's based on plate tectonics. Geologist DO NOT claim what you say they do.

War in America was a direct reaction to the Napoleonic Wars in Europe.... Go grab a book.

Lol

Thanos - Brawl Stars honestly, I think Lithuania is great. Despite all the wars you managed to exist for more than 700 years I think. That’s way more than my country which is barely 180 years old. I don’t get why you’re so much under the radar because the country is also beautiful. I haven’t visited myself yet but I’m planning to go next year. So sad though that so many Lithuanians are leaving the country :( Do you still live there? If so, how is life there?

Benjamin Sidoti He is completely butchering them

he butchered it just like they did my people

Yeah Chickasaw is ended with SAW not sow like he said, among other mess ups. But it's a base language thing. In the US we are MUCH more likely to hear these names

@RFT There is no continent called America. There is one called North America and another called South America though. America by itself refers to the US and this is widley known all over the world. I know it pisses off people in South America but they have no one to blame but themselves for not choosing a country name that has America in it. Yes in a way we're all Americans because of continent names but when it comes to countries there is one America.

famous song

The independence thoughts of that region still continue, there have been several times that it has become a trend to talk about it in the country because they show their dissatisfaction with the country and currently want to stop depending on the centralist government of Mexico and be more autonomous. I belong to and support the independence movement in our region since we are not equal to them. That feeling of independence has been inherited from generation to generation is remarkable for the way in which they express themselves from the rest of the country.

Some people in PR. did proclaim the first republic of PR. in 1868 after taking over one town located in the center part of PR. After that victory they went on to a neighboring town. But that town had a Spanish garrison. They were overpowered by the Spanish and the revolt crushed. And you left out the part about when the second republic of PR. in 1950 was proclaimed. That 1950 incident involved some revolts in some towns/cities in PR. They did manage to take over one town in the center of PR. where they proclaimed the second republic of PR. But the US national guards air force and artillery put an end to that.

The flag of West Florida is has a darker light blue then the Somali flag

Puerto Rico was never independent. They tried that in 1868 but the spanish troops crushed the attempt.

@@quisqueyanguy120 Correct. If you read my post...I did not write Independent at all. In 1897, Spain gave Autonomy to Puerto Rico...called Carta Autonómica. But by the time it could be put into action...US had already invaded Puerto Rico and established a Military government and new colony.

If it helps, I wish it were completely independent...

Sounds like he put the emphasis is the wrong place rather than mispronouncing it lol

He definitely mispronounced all of those Souteastern Native American names.

Europe knows how to pronounce Cherokee, proof - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f9uDaZucvdW5Zmw.html

Adam Davis he got Creek right.

He mispronounces everything that's not in English or Portuguese, save a few exceptions.

It can also refer to latitude... Baja California (Lower California) was the southern part of California when it belonged to Spain and Mexico... Alta California (Upper California) was the northern part, which is now the US state of California.

NT L Okay, but the idea is that we’re looking at this topographically. After all, “North” pointing up on a map is arbitrary.

The names originate from British colonization, there was upper and lower Canada. Lower Canada was down stream, and upper Canada was upstream (Ottawa River).

Zaid Exactly. And Upper was to the south (now Ontario), and Lower was to the north (now Quebec, obviously).

@@lewatoaofair2522 uh... no, they're East and West of each other. Upper Canada did become Ontario, Lower Canada did become Quebec, and Quebec does have some more northern land than Ontario has, but Upper and Lower Canada were based on a river in the south of the country, I believe the Saint-Laurant (I feel I misspelled that), and they didn't include those more northern areas. It was because Upper Canada was upstream, in the West, and Lower Canada was downstream, in the East. As confusing as it sounds (there's plenty of better names they could have gone with), it had nothing to do with North and South, and even now Quebec and Ontario are East and West of each other, not North and South

That makes sense, I thought there must have been more to it. Lots of countries in the Caribbean were declaring independence from Britain around that time, and Britain didn't oppose it. So I was wondering why they tried to stop it in this one case.

Cascadia is a futuristic ideal and has never reached the point of claiming independence, yet.

@RFT that's the joke

I am just saying Somalia has the same flag. It is an utter coincidence.

Second that.

Maine is referred to as "down east", specifically because of wind direction and sailing. Admittedly it's not a formal name, just a nickname.

@@bearcubdaycare I spoke of the Lower Canada name: the motivation is likely the flow of St. Lawrence river, like Lower Egypt was in the Egyptian history. Down is used quite differently in English than low(er). Like walking down the road can mean, up the hill.
