No country near India covers as much coastal area as India does, other countries like Sri Lanka,Indonesia,Maldives etc which are completely covered with ocean are smaller than India, hence we got Indian Ocean

It's obvious that the land is Israel. Palestinians have no claim to the land.

Mr. Liam Feasting on people while theyre weak only results in more bloodshed later on. and the cycle just keeps going on, funnily enough the only ones that did relate and gave empathy to the jews back then were the arabs while the western civilization always caused mass genocide (Surprise surprise, germans were never the first, nor will they be the last)

Verry Ganteng the Jews are the proven indigenous people of the land of Israel. If you want to get into the discussion we could. But no, it wasn’t a plan to destablize the Middle East. If the Arabs accepted the first extremely generous plan then we’d already of had peace

@Verry Ganteng I don't speak on behalf of all Israelis but I believe all of the West Bank is for Israel. Its historic Judea and Samaria which belonged to us and has many artifacts for us. The annexation was meant to annex all the parts where nobody lived in. It wouldn't have happened if the Palestinians accepted the 6 state/peace offers from Israel that would give them an established state in the West Bank and Gaza but they want all or nothing. It's clear these people are at fault from there clear stubborness and ignorance.

I believe the whole Arabian gulf thing started around the 60's as Arab nationalism took off.

yall claim its the Persian Gulf just how you claimed Emirate of Arabistan and killed its leader. Since 1500s the Arabian Gulf been surrounded by arabs it make no f*cking sense to name it the Persian Gulf. Also you gonna say that in history maps it says the Persian. We don't define ourselves based on what the greeks or the romans call us or call our land. We been living in this region for thousands of years no one can come and name our region for us like the Spanish did to the Philippines.

Also the Arabian gulf is more important to us than to Iran which has no cities on its coast. Unlike Kuwait, Bahrian, Qatar, Saudi Arabian, UAE and Oman.All these Arabian states have a dense population on the coast of the Arabian Gulf. Before the discovery oil since the mid 1800s these countries economy relayed on fishing and pearling in the gulf.

@@7164227 You don't know anything about Iran or Persia, when Persia was an empire you were living as nomads in the dessert! Iran has many cities across the Persian Gulf, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr are just two examples and we have many islands.

I am neither Arab or Persian, but we learned it has two names and more Arab gulf is more widely used.

@@I_AM_HYDRAA | They don't. The decisions are made by the countries on the ground. One decides to occupy an extra km², OpenStreet updates the map accurately. That is what de-facto means. A fact. It doesn't matter what claims are made. They can say whatever they want, but facts are facts. You can't change them with words. Actions only.

@@sowhat249 so how does that work for some of these examples

@@I_AM_HYDRAA | Umm, lets see. Numerous examples but here are several of the more popular ones. Ukraine doesn't recognize Russian sovereignty over Crimea. And most of the other countries agree with Ukraine. That means that for most countries, Google Maps, will display a map in which Crimea is a part of Ukraine. But that is not true. Crimea is de facto part of Russia, and Open Street Maps shows a map depicting the real situation. Google maps will also display a different map for Japan, which shows the Southern Kuril Islands as part of Japan, whereas open street map only displays true to the situation map, a map where these islands are a part of Russia. Google maps displays a map of Israel different for different countries. For israel it will display a map where the entirety of Palestine (except Gaza), and the Golan Heights are a part of Israel. For Palestine and most arab countries it will display a map where none of the territory is under occupation. For Syria it will display Golan Heights as part of Syria. Open street maps displays the Golan Heights as part of Israel, and most of Palestine with dotten lines to show how much is occupied and how much is not, as in real life. In the case of Kashmir, for India Google displays a map where the entirety of Kashmir is in India, for Pakistan it displays a map where entirety of Kashmir (except Chinese occupied parts) are a part of Pakistan. Open street maps displays a map according to the line of control, with Kashmir divided between India, Pakistan and China. For Serbia, Google displays a map on which Kosovo is a part of Serbia. Open streets map depicts kosovo as separate, which it de facto is. For Cyprus, google displays an undivided map. Open street maps displays a map showing both Cyprus and the Turkish republic of cyprus, and also the british occupied Cyprus that acts as a buffer between the two. See... Google will just twist the map to fit a narrative, while Open Street Maps will show a map which depicts reality on the ground.

@@mortezaakbari4606 dude I didn't name the Gulf and I don't really care about the name. I'd like to call it Persian Gulf myself if I was able to, but again, my opinion simply does not matter.

@@ererper5434 are you serious right now? The name "Gulf of Basra" existed for hundreds of years, as I said, when Ottomans ruled the area. How's that related to migrations? And the Arabic world calls it the Arabic Gulf. Still not related. What you're saying is so unneccesary and ridiculous. (Despite the fact that it's mainly called Basra in the Ottoman times, some old documents use the term 'Haliç-i Fars' which means Persian Gulf in Ottoman Turkish, which has more Persian influence than Arabic.)

Persian Gulf. All historical sources have referred to it as such. On almost all maps printed before 1960, and in most modern international treaties, documents and maps, this body of water is known by the name "Persian Gulf". It was referred to as the Persian Gulf by all Arab historians, geographers and political leaders such as the Saudi king Abdulaziz ibn Saud and the Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser. Sir Charles Belgrave (British adviser to the ruler of Bahrain) was the first known person to use and advocate the name 'Arabian gulf', first in the journal Soat al-Bahrain (Voice of Bahrain) in 1955.

your comment is underrated !

The term ‘Yellow Sea’ is commonly used in Korea as a proper name for the ‘West Sea’, as it refers to the muddy soil on the beach heads of the water mass. The ‘South Sea’ is also called as the ‘East China Sea’ and the ‘Korean Strait’ are used in Korea just as the international society recognizes. However, the dispute between ‘Sea of Japan’ and ‘East Sea’ is more of a geopolitical one since there are islands that are located in the body of water which ate disputed between the two countries such as Dokdo(KR)/Liancourt Rocks(Non-Disputed)/Takeshima(JP). Even though these islands are sovereign Korean territory both now and through history, the Japanese government claims its rule over the islands through many flawed reasons and one of them is the name of the body of water they are associated in. Just looking at this video and having biased opinions about the countries surrounding it is not a good way to approach the problem you first learned about.

Alex H Korea’s “East Sea”, “West Sea”, “South Sea”, “Korean Strait” names are all new creations that have no international support even if Korea tries to ram it through international bodies. “Korean Strait” is “Tsushima Strait” which is name after the island of Tsushima and where Battle of Tsushima happened more than 100 years ago. This wave of renaming and Wikipedia editing is laughable. I am surprised Korea haven’t renamed itself “Middle Kingdom” and rename China “West Kingdom”

Peizxcv It makes me baffled how you are ignorant of East Asian history and culture. The terms introduced in the videos are just the terms ‘West Sea’ and ‘South Sea’ are used in every day life, not in official geographic documents that are published in academic use. If you want to say something of the terms with the four cardinal directions of the compass, why not question other cultures from Korean that call the surrounding natural features after it such as Estonia who calls the Baltics as the ‘West Sea’ or Vietnam who calls the South China Sea as the ‘East Sea’. These are not the only cases. You can find several examples if you just look it up. You have totally lost my point, maybe you could read what I’ve said instead of watching anime the whole time. And if you do not know what the Korea Strait is, you could just google it and see what Wikipedia has to say about it. Reply if you have further comments :D
