Or you drive to Seattle and get on a ferry to Alaska (no passport required). The ferries are part of Alaska's highway system, paid for with federal highway funds. They are considered road transport.

Mario Butter It's a long way to drive for some people. I live in Boston, so I would have to fly, and it would be passport free.

I never said it was a short trip. And heck, the ferry ride is three days at least, depending on where you're going in Alaska. I just said it's *possible*. :-)

Mario Butter Alaska is beautiful and I would love to visit one day, but I wouldn't mind driving through Canada because it's just as gorgeous. Been there many many times.

You don't need a passport to enter Canada if you're from the US, though if you have a passport it is recommend you bring it.

re-created

Poland vanished from map for 123 years (1795-1918).

Idiot in the XVIII century Russia, Austria and Prussia to share the remains of the Commonwealth of Poland and for centuries the state has ceased to exist until after World War I it had not received independence. Do not get smart if you do not know anything.

It was reforged

Poland always existed but was under occupation many times. @ Kiril 470 - Really? I didn't know this. WTF I like Ottoman Empire now.

He talks about that in a different video

Russia: "We have this big colony in America." US: "Ok." Russia: "We'll sell it to you for cheap to fund a war because oil isn't important yet." US: "Sounds good." It's one of the easier ones to explain. The weird stuff is small exclaves/enclaves like Llivia and Barle-Nassau/Barle-Hertog :)

I know right

Well, it’s basically because Russia was desperate for money so they sold it to USA

Not biggest

It Was bad wording

CJ?

We all know that the Nazis started WW2.

#1 The modern state of Poland was created, including it's borders which contained land that wasn't Polish #2 Poland did start WW2 when they refused to return the stolen land in their possession This isn't basic knowledge so your ignorance isn't your fault and so I had to explain this.

If poland didn't kill the germans living in poland then ww2 wouldn't happen, and it wouldn't happen if UK and France accepted peace

You're fired! Like Greece?

AND THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVEDDDD

You're fired! He said "was re created"

But it hadn't been an independent entity for 103 years prior to 1918.

Well, it begins from the State of Teutonic Order. Teutonic Knights founded Konigsberg (present day Kaliningrad) in 1255.

It proves that Russia is secretly Prussia

+Damian Adamski Not true. It had been founded by Prussians(the real Baltic people) with a name Tuvangste long before it was conquered by Teutonic Knights.

Teutons. Well my country was in near constant war with them. At least to my memory.

The current Russian exclave Kaliningrad used to be a place where all Lithuanian authors published their books (the first book in lithuanian was published in the current Kaliningrad, ). Majority of people who were living in Koningsberg were mostly Lithuanians, who fled the country due to tax evasion, failure for landownership problems. Therefore, the little country Koninsberg received a name "Lithuania Minor"due to vast numbers of lithuanians migrating to the country.

I will probably cover it in a future video

"The Nazis started WW2 in Europe" is also wrong! It was Germany. There was never a country called "Nazis".

"The three I chose to cover in this video have the theme of being the result of a country needing access to the sea". EXACTLY. So you could've just said THAT and added more countries. IDK why you gave a big history lesson? You made this video more complicated than it had to be. Though Kaliningrad also chose to remain part of Russia, because they have no industry that would sustain a viable economy, so if they were an independent country, they would be the poorest country in Europe and one of the poorest in the world. As for WWII, the war technically wasn't even started in Poland. It was started in Gdansk, which at the time was a city-state called the "Free City of Gdansk", which was separate from the Polish state.

And UAE and Oman also have messed up borders.

the nazi parted started it.

I didn't mean that. I had very poor wording it that section.

Ok, I didn't see a comment. Sry

I hope you didn't mean that...

He kinda did!

Every European country played a part in starting WWII. So he would be right otherwise.

But the Teutonic order had been under prussian rule since 1525? The original prussians may not have been germanic, but for most of their history (at least the most important part) they were germans.

Not entirely true. There was only about 100 thousand Prussian survivors after their land was destroyed and burned by the crusades. Many of them fled to surrounding lands and were assimilated there. The Prussian language died out only in the beginning of 18th century. I would like to remind you that in reality there was no such thing as Germany until late 19th Century.

Germany is younger than USA.

everything u say is half true 1. ur own polish king granted the land to the teutonic order which is called deutschritter-orden in german meaning order of the german knights so a polish king made all this happen at first. 2. the baltic tribe prussians were neither polish german or russian or whatever they were prussians so its not an excuse to refer to them considering modern age claims for this region 3. the prussians werent exterminated and they were assimilated with the germans owning the land later becoming head of the teuton order and german and prussian ppl mixd up there during the centuries so the inhabitants are neither prussian or german they r both 4.consider some medieval history about polands north all those cities like königsberg or danzig stettin posen were built by germans not polish ppl the architecture tells it all its german architecture 5. germany didnt exist as a national state untill the 19th century yes, but the holy roman empire of german nation existed since the 10th century and the emperor of it was the emperor of germany,later it was the habsburg emperor in austria, and no austria is not an own nation at that time. austria transfers from auster east in latin and means eastern realm of germany or österreich in german eastern-empire in english the holy roman empire was split up into minor territories ruled by kings dukes and so on but they all were ruled by the emperor of the holy roman empire who travelled through the lands and lived in kaiserpfalzen castles spread around the country so germany has existed since th 11th century and the sovereign national state known as german reich which is the predecessor of the holy roman empire was found in the 19th century thats true but thats not the birth of germany this is also the reason the thrid reich was called the third reich 1.reich:holy roman empire of german nation 2.reich:imperial germany the kaiserreich 3.reich:nazi germany according to u the third reich would ve been the second reich so pls dont spread wrong facts as long as u dont know the truth

wieslawl59+ 1200s actually and the Teutonic Knights which included many nationalities were asked by the Pope to Christianise the Old Prussians who were Pagans. Later Germans settled the uninhabited area's and mixed with the Old Prussian who remained infuencial and after centuries assimilated into Germany. Thier name and blood remains part of Modern Germany after what remained of the Old Prussian were Ethnically Cleansed from East Prussia alongside Thier Ethnic German compatriots by the Russians​ from 1945-50

Pan Jasio why you guys just cant say yes XD

FuckMotheringVampire It already was, and look who won.

Lol this is ironic right

If Poland allowed Germany and USSR peacefully share its land, WW2 wouldn't have happened.

It would. As they would wanna share the world right after.

Really bad wording. I regret it a lot. The war is Germany's fault and nothing they did was justified.

I hate that people are commenting about this, yes its true Germany started WW2, but TECHNICALLY germany declared war on poland because poland told the no, therefore TECHNICALLY poland saying no is a reason why germany decalred war.... therefore again, TECHNICALLY poland saying no is indeed a cause for WW2 yall are just nazis when it comes to making sure we all strictly say germany is 100% evil and the war was 100% germanys fault nobody is disputing that, but you have to be correct when stating that germany declared war because poland said no god you are all serious grammar nazis

it is historically correct. Hitler set an ultimatum to Poland pretty much saying "Danzig or war!". And Poland, guaranteed by england/france thought they could win the war and decided to say "no". The polish government was 100% aware of the fact that the outcome of this ultimatum will start the war

Алина Старковa (Alina Starkova) and if Germany hadn't asked for polish territories, WWII would have never happened. Indirectly accusing Poland of starting WWII is ridiculous. What started WWII was Germany's invasion of Poland. They knew Poland was allied with France and Great Britain. They perfectly knew what could happen, and it did. But if you want to acuse, you could also acuse Japan, because they attacked the USA, wich made them enter the war against the AXIS powers, right? When did an allied force invade european territories just because? Never. Its only the AXIS forces aggressions that led to a world war.

...the facts within the statement are true, but the statement itself is false. Poland did not start the war, nazi Germany did. Hitler's order to invade Poland on 1 sept. 1939 did literally start the war. We all agree. The statement "Poland said no, AND started WW II" is if fact not only incorrect, but also unjust, as it shifts the blame from the oppressor, to the oppressed. In the same manner "polish death camps" do, as referring to nazi German camps on occupied polish territory were many poles were murdered. This is not only bad grammar, but unfortunately a straight forward insult to a lot of poles who know their history, or lost family members in these WW II atrocities. It's on a the same lines as telling a rape victim, to their face... that they "were asking for it" ..by wearing a short skirt, or pink shoes... unjust, to say the least. This is the reason these simple mistakes - one might say, cause such a stir. The author acknowledges his mistake, that's good enough for me. :-) ciao, & peace.

Michael Scofield Who cares about sailing

it's useless, i'd rather we give it up... not even that much of a tourist attraction

Ikr, it's so funny how people think that Germans can only genocide but cannot be genocided

Nazi germany started the war primarily because of persecution of ethnic germans in regions that (pre WW1) was german territory, but now belonged to Poland. Prior to attacking Poland they tried several times to resolve the issue diplomatically. Of course the version you're told in school is pretty much "LETS START A WORLD WAR CAUSE WE NEED MORE RANDOM TERRITORY LUL". There are rarely any "good" vs "evil" in history, but the victors sure do write it.

There was no genocide in Kaliningrad. Genocide is purposefully killing a specific group. Destroying their military fort and winning their land isn't deliberate killing.

Then how come East Prussia is filled with russians and no germans

Surgical Autumn Because Kaliningrad was used as a "hold at all costs" (until death) military fort by Nazi Germany. Before & during that a lot of people were evacuated west, then after the battle, some people left on their own, some were deported and some stayed, also in later years a lot of Germans and Poles moved back there. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_K%C3%B6nigsberg Kaliningrad was pretty much nothing at that point, barely even a military position, let alone a place for civilians to live. It's like asking "why was the Eiffel tower toured by Hitler and not the French in 1940"... because what would they be doing at a military stronghold?

True

X century.

Krzysztex it's probably just a bad wording. recreated or freed would have been better for sure

Xtrems Xterms X century is when first historical chronicles mention the name of Poland, polish tribes have been united in some form of monarchy for at least 200 years before that

Krzysztex by spreading something that you think is true, but there are no mentions about it, you just spread sth that isn't true. btw. The begging of polish history is said to be when piasts started ruling the polan tribe. Nobody knows when it was. but surely not VII century, more like the second half of IX century. And there is a reason why officialy it was 966, so use it if you're not explaining your version. especially to other nations.

Russia was never an ally of Germany?

if you look at all of the first comment, he says Poland didn't start WW2 and it was just bad wording

I was trying to make Poland sound like a badass because they told the Nazis no when everyone else just accepted the Nazis pushing them around. In retrospect it does make it very unclear. I didn't mean to say Poland started ww2. Nazi aggression meant ww2 was inevitable.

"Poland told the Nazis "no" and started WW II." I am speechless! This is total bullshit and without any respect to the millions of deads of that war. For good reason such a statement would be considered illegal and punished hard in todays Germany.

Poland started WW2 by invading Czechoslovakia together with Germany

Smutnovsor I'm a Czech and that's a complete lie. Yes, Poland and Germany seized Czechoslovak territory in 1938, but there was no armed conflict.

Peter Due Doesn't change the fact they broke it, even if "they knew it was going to be broken." Besides, if they did, why were they so Ill prepared for the Nazi invasion?

Patrickmen11 well im talking about the ''i did nazi that coming'' thing on the screen

Patrickmen11 and they were ill prepared because they were russia, technically far behind and german were fully prepared for war, whcih the rest of europe wasnt

You don't make sense. If the USSR knew the Germans would break the deal, then why didn't they prepared for that. And the fact that the Soviets repeled the Germans after those Blitzkrieg deathtactics show that the USSR had potential to repel it from the beggining, if they had prepared for that.

Russia being technologically behind is first of all false. The revolution in Russia had industrialized the nation. Russia was not technologically behind, rather it was more keen on creating cheaper and easier to make equipment over the German elaborate and powerful equipment. TheFifa107 makes a good case about it. If Russia knew about it, it would have mobilized way before. There are documents that mention that Stalin was in complete shock, because he didn't want to believe Hitler broke the pact. Russian Officials had indeed warned him before but he didn't believe them.

*Leopold II.

I didn't mean that. It was extremely poorly worded. Before I was saying how germany was annexing neighbours lands and then invading them anyway, and afterwards I talked about the non-aggression pact with the soviets that agreed to split poland. So its pretty clear that Germany was intending to go to war with Poland.

No that is not what I meant. It was poorly worded. Germany was the one had been demanding territory from all sorts of countries and then still invading anyway, so Poland had no choice but to say no. I'm sorry for having that part so poorly worded.

Gdansk was established in 997 and it was part of Kingdom of Poland for the next 800y with a little break for teutonic occupation. Only after the second partition of Poland Prussia took the city away for a little over 100y. So why you call it a German territory?

klakluska Gdańsk for very long time was Free City too. And Van. Germany invaded, because they had to. Germany right before WW2 was bankrut, there was no other choice: War or in next year says "We dont have money".
