@Fagus Grandifolia By misaccented do you mean the stress what is the wrong place? Cause it should be on "ti" which is how they pronounced it

@@d.l.7416 are you sure about how they pronounced it exactly? Allot can be lost with time, like latin, we don't know how latin exactly sounds because native latin died long ago.

Always for my bae. The one immortal god empress I consider leaving alive so we can make sweet immortal Roman-British babies together.

Yes, this. The tectonic (teutonic? i forgot) plates shift and created islands, so I think island cultures would also have volcanic influences. Notable examples is the volcano goddess of hawaii, and volcano worship festivals

Tectonic, Teutonic is basically a fancy way of saying German

Not GB

@@Damo2690 Britain is not really an "island arc", which are usually created by tectonic plate movement (most often, but not always typified by volcanic activity), it is a piece of land that became separated from the continent when a river valley cut a deep enough channel that when some Canadian glaciers melted, it caused the sea level to rise enough that it filled that river valley to completely cut of Britain from the continent. Britain is basically a peninsula that got cut off from the continent.

@@glenbe4026 Yeah I know what it is, that's why I said GB isn't volcanic lol. I'm just saying the first guy is wrong

Yeah I know, it's very epic & interesting for the Isle of Man as it quite the hotspot for naval powers. Although I will admit, even though it is a separate nation, I wouldn't say as much of a country. Usually to be a country you need other countries to recognise you as such, as far as I've seen, Isle of Man has been considered part of the UK only because Queen Elizabeth rules it.

It's a Crown Dependency - it's about as much as its own country as Guernsey and Jersey are

"We are not part of the UK, we are our own country where the head of state just happens to be Queen Elizabeth" So, in that way, just like Canada, Australia or New Zealand?

The Manx language officially went extinct a few decades ago when the last native speaker died. However, non-native speakers survived and taught the language to younger Manxmen.

Gajah Mada can do anything

oh shit you right

Mexicotamia

A fusion of Aztec and Mesopotamian culture is a really cool Worldbuilding idea though!

Careful, the algorithm is watching.

The thing is at the time the isles were so divided they aren't really island nations.

"Ireland hasn't been an aggressor against any part of Britain" Whilst I agree with your point generally the "Irish" aren't entirely innocent of aggression, the Dalraida were ethnically Irish and certainly displaced Picts and Britons in thier wake. It's interesting to think however that England may not have oppressed the Irish in the way it did if not for the Norman and Angevin precedent, at least in the early middle ages religious and intellectual ties between the Anglo-Saxons and the Irish make them almost seem friendly.

@@EdwardotheAlrightish The Ethnic Britons (Including The Welsh, Cumbrians, Cornish & more) also had to deal with Irish aggression and Irish landgrabs at the same time they were trying to defend themselves against the Anglo-Saxons. It is fair to say that Irish raids on the Britons helped the English to come into being (though they were not the main cause).

Just to point out also, one of the reasons for the Romano-British trying (and failing) to use the Anglo-Saxons as Foederati was due in part to the Pictish raids over Hadrian's wall and also Irish raids (Saint Patrick being taken in one of these self-same raids). Apart from that, I'm in full agreement with you.

Same millennium, you mean? (Millennia is plural). Yeah, I noticed that too. Assyria should not be confused with Mexico. Plus, you really think the Aztecs could grow beards like that?

Joseph Smith would be proud

I thought Aztecs did not build cities but occupied already existing Mayan and someone else i forget the name of's cities.

@@mart8675309 those are not even mayan my dude

@@andreadebortoli6069 yh i know just saying in general i don't think there were "aztec cities".

Actually the Majapahit empire unified alot of Indonesia, Malaysia and some historians say Manila too

​@@bitchcraftwitch351not directly,many is tributaries

Yeah that's my bad, I'm usually editing these late at night so I appreciate the leniency. Gotta say I also love the Aztecs, although I haven't done them justice in researching their history. Thanks for your support!

What's interesting there is the myths that both the Central and South American peoples told about those pyramids.

60km is the distance between a high point and the horizon. So theoretically if a mountain is at the exact center of the island, you can see a surface of roughly 11300km² (4370 sq mi) On Earth, only 67 islands have more surface area.

Guinea is not separated because of that. It is separate because the Dutch controlled one half and the Germans the other. Then the Germans lost a war so it became part of Australia for a while before gaining independence, and the Indonesians annexed the dutch half.

Japan has a ton of mountains

@@foresthaviland3612 Yeah, but they mostly run up the SW-NE axis, so the West is divided from the East, but folks can move North-South fairly easily. The native ethnicities of the northern-most & southern-most islands have managed to hold out the longest (Ainu & Okinawan, respectively), but there's still a lot of cultural and political pressure on them.

I have! It was an inspiration for this channel. Thank you for the support too!

Had to go full wiki to translate that - Google Translate thinks Cornish is Czech LOL

Tonga still exists though, and used to be the most prominent of those empires Btw Nauru literally begged the Germans to take over cuz of devastating civil wars

@@jonathanwilliams1065 civil war brought on by outside influence, diseases and european slave raids that devastated populations leading to workforce declines that lead to resource shortages which lead to wars of desperation etc... I don't get you paint about staying that Tonga still exists though?

I've noticed the case of Caesar. Most of the time people say "see-zer," but apparently it was actually more like "kay-zer" or "kigh-sar" or something like that? Which gets us to Kaiser. Bah; C is a worthless letter. The only good use is sticking an H on it so you can have CHAIR, MARCH, CHURCH, CHA-CHA, etc. We shouldn't use it for anything else.

Caesar's pronounciation is not decided on, even by Latin philologists. So, people tend to rponounce it the way its easiest for their own tongue. For me, its Tzezar.

That's not always true. Rather nations focus on land or sea can vary on many things. The Danish focused on sea even though they had plenty of land as did the Spanish. Hawaii by contrast focused largely on land since it is so isolated. Japan became a navel power only during the 19th century and for most of it's history it was a land power and fairly isolated.

@@MrMarinus18 Yeah, I think Britain & Japan were too big to just automatically expect them to focus on the sea. There was a lot of land for farming. So Farming also played a large part in these nations (in fact I would say more than fishing). Also, the British started to focus on the Sea after the loss of the Angevin possessions in France. Basically after the 100 years war, England started to focus more on it's navy over it's army. I think losing their last French possessions made them lose any ideas for territorial expansion in Europe.

Economically there is also an important distinction between off-shore islands and oceanic islands. Off-shore islands often need to produce most of their own goods while oceanic islands can survive entirely from trade. An example of an oceanic island kingdom is Hawaii which thrived in the 18th centuary as a stopover for ships sailing between China and the European colonies of East-Asia and the western United States. In fact their flag was made to signal neutrality towards their 2 most important ones. The British coming from the west and the American's coming from the East. (They still use the flag of a US design with a union jack replacing the stars to this day) @@glenbe4026 Indeed. They are large enough to have multiple kingdoms on them. In some ways there is no real distinction between an island and a continent and some of them like Australia are really in the middle of being an island or a continent. What makes it an island is rather or not 1 nation can unite them all. Also you shouldn't overestimate Fish. A civilization can't survive on fish, they need farms as well. Most nations who fish don't eat most of their fish but trade it for grain. The British imported huge amounts grain from France and Germany and later from Russia and the United States. The reason the English didn't invade France after the 100 years war was because France had become far too strong. France is much bigger, richer and has 4 times the population of England. The only reason victory had been possible was because it was so divided. The English king had more land in France than the French king so therefore they felt they had a more legitimate claim to the throne. After France became united any hope of conquest was abandoned. They could have taken land in Germany but that is quite away from Britain the the North Sea is very rough so those would have been hard to hold on to. Still they perhaps would have done that if there wasn't a much more lucrative opportunity presenting itself in the new world. The previous rich cities in northern Germany were declining and the Spanish were bringing unbelievable riches from the America's. So why fight bloody wars for poor naval cities that you can't hold on to when there is land for the taking with only feeble natives in a land with seemingly infinite riches?

Russia not really. They could beat Russia at sea and before the Trans-siberian railroad east Russia was very isolated from the west. When Japan tried to fight Russia in 1939 after the East was more connected they failed miserably. They also only could take on China because it was in the middle of a civil war.

This went somewhere I totally wasn't expecting it to go. You okay bud?

Indeed. Island nations lie and die by location. They can either be incredibly prosperous or poor and isolated. Strategic islands like Hawaii and Guam thrive because of their location. Guam is the richest area in all of micronesia. Kirbati has a GDP only half that of Guam despite it's population being over 3 times bigger. Nations don't need to be islands to have influence without conquest. Korea is connected to China yet also wasn't conquered by them. There is an element of human to also take into account. Cyprus was conquered because it was right next to large imperialist empires. Ryukyu was next to a large empire but it wasn't ultra imperialist. Malta was further away and because Italy was so fragmented there were no nations near it that could take it.

Actually the Philippines was prosperous mainly in certain regions like Tondo. If you did some research Parts of the Philippines were tributary states to China and were often trade and have good diplomatic relationships with South East Asia. Philippines had developed iron cannons, fast ships that caught the eye of the Spaniards and had tons of written history till it got burned by colonizers. I hate it when people do not look into what the Philippines was before. It was a strategic location for trade and was a middle ground for sailers to rest.

Thank you! But no, I'm on break right now, and I've just been working my ass off. It'll slow down for the next for of them at least.

Completly understandable. I'm going to look forward to the next ones.

Then just copy Sardinia, what you're outlining is way less complex.

Eidolon Specus I... do not care. A name is a name.

the strait of gilbratar is prety small, but because of it Spain is cultural and geneticaly closer to Norway than Morroco

Basically what he said, 15 km seems like a solid distance if you want to make two totally distinct places, but this can vary based on if the surrounding people are seafaring or there are extensive trade networks through the area.

It's not so much the 15 km strait that I'm wondering about as much as it is the 1 km strait.

1 km isn't gonna do too much. It'll create a separation certainly but the people would cross it likely frequently. Even some rivers can get up to more than 10 km wide.

@@Stoneworks this is called Amazonas river lol

Watch Lindybeige videos for a lot of the historical context of Britain as i think he is very accurate and knowledgeable, I also think it is important to note that the region of England is the area that was most often conquered, the Scottish and welsh across rivers and mountains were very defendable comparatively and i dont think it is fair to say that England had a bad relationship with Scotland and wales but that England was so less defendable that the occupiers of England could never take them, The whole concept of Britain is that it is not just England, without Scotland or wales Britain would not be what it is. I think that Everyone on these isles has a shared soul that should never be taken apart. History has shown us that we are stronger as one.
