In the top ten least important things in WWII, 8 is the vending machine at pearl habor is restocked the day before the attack. My great grandfather bought a snickers bar for breakfast from that machine while between submarines when the attack started, and until the day he died he never remembered wether he eat it, shoved it in his pocket,threw it away, or what. It seemingly vanished, but he always remember buying it. My family often recalls this story but have never found anything about the snickers bar.
Wow, and my first thought when they made that joke was: "I bet they didn't even have any vending machines at Pearl Harbor at all..." I guess I was wrong.

Regarding Amundsen-Scott and footnotes, Ernest Shackleton is almost a footnote to the heroics and skills of Luis Pardo, the Piloto Pardo, who steered the Yelcho, the ship that rescued Shackleton from his antarctic confinement. Chilean here. At school we are taught that piece of Antarctica is ours, with no mention to the Treaty. Its extension is counted as part to the Chilean territory. 😂
Norway's claim actually does extend all the way to the south pole. On older maps it's only shown not to, because in the original wording of the claim the southern border was not explicitly defined. A few years ago Norway clarified that the claim actually extends all the way down to the pole. That "extension" was not a new claim, as that would have contradicted the Antarctic Treaty, but merely a clarification about the details of the original claim.
In other words if all these other countries can stake a claim, then let's think of a way we can too - oh I know, lets say that we really meant the border to extend all the way to the South Pole...
Jay appeared in Tom's video about the copyright system as well as one of Tom's game shows, and Tom appeared in an Unfinished London video. But a full video like this has yet to happen sadly.

You forgot to mention that he was an ant. Old Ant Anthony, I met him a few times and I have to say he was a nutter. He'd take medication but always refer to them as his Tic Tacs. Ant Anthony Antarctica's Tic Tacs.
I love how they always theorised there was a hidden continent on the bottom of the earth and they were going to call it Australis but they couldn't find one so they assumed they never would and just gave the name to the closest thing to a hidden southern continent, which became Australia... And then not long later by total coincidence they found the hidden southern continent.
Just for context, the full name was "terra australis incognita" (literally "southern unknown land") and "Australis" just means southern. So it wasn't an actual name, like Australia was (Australia more or less means "land of the South" in latin ).
6:13 CORRECTION: The Antarctic Treaty does not have an expiration date. The Environmental Protocol to the Antarctic Treaty (or the Madrid Protocol) can be reviewed after 50 years of its adoption (in 1998), which is probably where you're getting the 2048 date from. However, both the Treaty and the Madrid Protocol are eternal.
It’s not true though. The Antarctic Treaty does not expire. Most likely they are referring to the Madrid Protocol ( or The Protocol on Environmental Protection to the Antarctic Treaty) of 1991 which bans mining and went into effect in 1998 and is up for review after fifty years (2048). Being up for review however means that a majority of members need to actively want to change it rather than it just running out by default.
Which is funny given how the yanks were today lecturing the Chinese that foreign policy shouldn't be about might. Apparently yanks now think that is bad for the world.

The Norwegian claim doesn't actually stop like shown on the maps here; it extends all the way to the pole. The boundaries of the claim were originally left unclear, but in 2015 it was clarified and extended the rest of the way to the centre.
The British renamed the German shepard alsatian or whatever... Which is a part of Germany... But France took it ages ago... Disputed. Anyways there was anti German mania, and Japanese. There were concentration camps for Japanese and Germans in the USA.

@@waynemarvin5661 nobody was saying it actually happened?? sure its on the "least important things that happened" list in this video but that list also has obviously comedic things which dont have anything to do with the war
CORRECTION: An Argentine presence (with the raising of a flag an all) was already on Antarctica on 1904, it was something they "discovered in the middle of the XX century". Argentina (and Chile way later, IN 1947 ) being so in tune with European movements took also heed on the exploratory interests of those distant European nations.
If the lows only reached -40°, then they could have just said "lows of -40°" and left the units out and nobody could complain since they're all the same at that point.
People in USA: What the hell is Celsius? Also people in USA: What the hell is Centigrade? Also people in USA: What the hell is Fahrenheit? Ain't it all just 'degrees'? Our general population isn't the most science minded people, henceforth the ignorance about Corona Virus and many other things.
@David Shi Would you go to Antartica to give birth to your children so you have something to hold as a territorial claim? I bet you would not. Neither would any sane person living in Argentina or Chile. If there have been people born there, it was because their parents were there conducting research projects and they miscalculated the birth date or their plans to go back to the continent suffered some sort of unpredicted delay. If the babies were given Argentinean or Chilean nationality, that was because they were born in Argentinean or Chilean research bases, and the same rule as being born at sea applies where babies have the nationality of the vessel's country flag.
I really missed MapMen when it was gone. It's probably my favorite funducational show. If possible, please release more episodes or make a whole TV-Show out of this!
Base Orcadas from Argentina has been permanently populated since 1904, being one of six Argentine permanent bases in Argentina's claim to Antarctica, and the first permanently inhabited base in Antarctica. So it's not they "remembered" in mid XX century, jfyi.
I've just looked this up. The Wiki agrees with what you've written, but everything on that after 1904 is dubious. It's clearly linked to Argentine's South Georgia and Falkland's claim, that made the war that gave the UK decades of incompetent Tory Government: so unless you can prove otherwise I will not believe any claim that there's been an Argentinian living in Antartica since 1904.
Like how the British learn about Scott instead of Amundsen, in Ireland, the focus is instead put on Ernest Shackleton who was from County Kildare and Tom Crean who was from County Kerry.
I used to teach in England, and we taught the kids about Shackleton rather than Scott - I'm not even sure why. I think there was just a really nice illustrated book written about Shackleton 😂
This is exactly what I wanted to do with my life in the 6th grade. Write skits about things in a beautifully silly way. I dearly hope you'll keep up all the good work. You two are such a balm. Even your ads are brilliant!
DID YOU KNOW? Dastardly Norwegians Roald Amundsen and his evil henchmen secretly planted Norwegian flags at the site of the South Pole 33 days before Scott's team arrived, just to try and make them feel disheartened. But it didn't work, of course. Scott was so plucky and so British, that he reached the South Pole anyway. Wow! What a guy!

In Russian "Queen Maud Land" looks and sounds the same as "Fashion Queen Land" and I grew up thinking it was named after some supermodel or a winner of a beauty pageant.
Here in Chile "our" Antarctic territory is talked about literally everyday in the weather reports, lol, and we're taught about it in school like is actually part of our country, when it's not. Oh and last year there was a stupid COVID19 outbreak in Villa Las Estrellas that made the rounds in international news 🙄
En Argentina, a pesar de que nuestro territorio antártico sea un territorio integro de la provincia de Tierra del Fuego, Antártida e Islas del Atlántico Sur, por lo general dicen solamente Tierra del Fuego
Official maps also show the Antarctic claim as Chilean Territory. We will only know if it is actually "ours" when the treaty ends, if Chile cannot project power into the continent then it was never ours.

Thanks for actually going to Antarctica to show us what kind of land it is. Your professionalism has really touched my heart. In all honesty the video was very informative and fun to watch overall. Thanks for the amazing video and hope to see more.
Ok this has to be said, aside from te brilliantly executed comedy / educatianal video, the last bit, the sponsor bit, was so funny I could not skip it or change the video to whach someting else. I wanted to watch it. You guys nailed how to make publicity in youtube.
note: I dont actually speak English, so sorry for the many mistakes I'm sure I made
Lol that was funny 😂
Well you might not speak English but apparently you can write it just fine
well you can write or type english but you can't just speak it
@@demrandom other than "te" (which is supposed to be "the")
Not sure if "educatianal" was intended, but sounds comedic
The Norwegian claim doesn't actually stop like shown on the maps here; it extends all the way to the pole. The boundaries of the claim were originally left unclear, but in 2015 it was clarified and extended the rest of the way to the centre.

The British renamed the German shepard alsatian or whatever... Which is a part of Germany... But France took it ages ago... Disputed.

There were concentration camps for Japanese and Germans in the USA.

It's not true that hamburgers are now 'liberty steaks'. Please stop making things up just to bash the US and make them sound stupid. The comment sections on UA-cam videos are mostly children, and many of them will believe whatever they see.

It's dangerous watching a Map Men video and taking a sip of your drink because at any moment you might just spit it out all over your PC.
Thanks for the warning, I'll keep that in mind.
CORRECTION: An Argentine presence (with the raising of a flag an all) was already on Antarctica on 1904, it was something they "discovered in the middle of the XX century". Argentina (and Chile way later, IN 1947 ) being so in tune with European movements took also heed on the exploratory interests of those distant European nations.
You guys almost had me with the 60 Celsius/Centigrade thing. I immediately thought, "But wait, -40 is the same for both Celsius and Fahrenheit."
yeah.... but.... Yer correct! (i think theyd been sniffin TOO much 'map glue' in this episode!) hehehe
They did get me, but I rewatched the moment to be sure first.
I love how you just straight up ignored the Fahrenheit scale
If the lows only reached -40°, then they could have just said "lows of -40°" and left the units out and nobody could complain since they're all the same at that point.
Does that scale still exist? How many countries in the world use it?
People in USA: What the hell is Celsius?
Also people in USA: What the hell is Centigrade?
Also people in USA: What the hell is Fahrenheit?
Ain't it all just 'degrees'?
Our general population isn't the most science minded people, henceforth the ignorance about Corona Virus and many other things.
The Fahrenheit scale is a stupid scale (with all due respect to the scientist).
@@pulkitmohta8964 there's no valid reason to keep using it, only 2 or 3 countries enforce it
Fun fact! In order to legitimize their land claims, at least 11 people have been born in the Argentina and Chile territories of Antartica.
Good luck with that Argentina and Chile.
@@kellydalstok8900 so far it goes better than certain islands in the south Atlantic
If that's not determination I don't know what is
@David Shi Would you go to Antartica to give birth to your children so you have something to hold as a territorial claim? I bet you would not. Neither would any sane person living in Argentina or Chile. If there have been people born there, it was because their parents were there conducting research projects and they miscalculated the birth date or their plans to go back to the continent suffered some sort of unpredicted delay. If the babies were given Argentinean or Chilean nationality, that was because they were born in Argentinean or Chilean research bases, and the same rule as being born at sea applies where babies have the nationality of the vessel's country flag.

Base Orcadas from Argentina has been permanently populated since 1904, being one of six Argentine permanent bases in Argentina's claim to Antarctica, and the first permanently inhabited base in Antarctica. So it's not they "remembered" in mid XX century, jfyi.
I've just looked this up. The Wiki agrees with what you've written, but everything on that after 1904 is dubious. It's clearly linked to Argentine's South Georgia and Falkland's claim, that made the war that gave the UK decades of incompetent Tory Government: so unless you can prove otherwise I will not believe any claim that there's been an Argentinian living in Antartica since 1904.

Like how the British learn about Scott instead of Amundsen, in Ireland, the focus is instead put on Ernest Shackleton who was from County Kildare and Tom Crean who was from County Kerry.
All countries are guilty of a bit of blind nationalism now and then 😂
We do like a good catastrophe. Exhibit A would be the Charge of the Light Brigade
I used to teach in England, and we taught the kids about Shackleton rather than Scott - I'm not even sure why. I think there was just a really nice illustrated book written about Shackleton 😂
I'm from South London and we were taught quite a lot about Shackleton and got to see his boat that was in a school near our one
I'm norwegian. Guess who's the guy we learn about?
I just want to say, i really appreciate all the visual gags in this. The details are quite funny.
This is exactly what I wanted to do with my life in the 6th grade. Write skits about things in a beautifully silly way. I dearly hope you'll keep up all the good work. You two are such a balm. Even your ads are brilliant!

Dastardly Norwegians Roald Amundsen and his evil henchmen secretly planted Norwegian flags at the site of the South Pole 33 days before Scott's team arrived, just to try and make them feel disheartened. But it didn't work, of course. Scott was so plucky and so British, that he reached the South Pole anyway. Wow! What a guy!

Here in Chile "our" Antarctic territory is talked about literally everyday in the weather reports, lol, and we're taught about it in school like is actually part of our country, when it's not. Oh and last year there was a stupid COVID19 outbreak in Villa Las Estrellas that made the rounds in international news 🙄
En Argentina, a pesar de que nuestro territorio antártico sea un territorio integro de la provincia de Tierra del Fuego, Antártida e Islas del Atlántico Sur, por lo general dicen solamente Tierra del Fuego
I love the idea of a meteorologist going, "It's raining in Santiago, and, going further south, the temperature in Antarctica is rather chilly."
Official maps also show the Antarctic claim as Chilean Territory.
We will only know if it is actually "ours" when the treaty ends, if Chile cannot project power into the continent then it was never ours.
