Mongolia just went from being landlocked to an island.
Sea borne Throat Singing Mongol pirates!
Even though, almost all of its coastline would be cliffs of at least several hundred metres tall, so technically it would still be like a landlocked country
@@gordonchao3074but thats still technically not land locked
I said "like a landlocked country"
Mongolia's dreams came true💀
Imagine Italy was one of the countries gone. San Marino would be a tiny island and the Vatican City would be basically a ship.
@@brianarbenz1329 South Africa would also be interesting. Botswana and Zimbabwe get coastlines, Lesotho Island becomes a thing, and Swaziland also almost becomes an island.
@brianarbenz1329 the Vatican would basically be a floating fortress since it's borders follow a fort
you mean like monaco is just a floating port in this scenario since france is gone?
@@depotheose7890 Yea it is lol. Didn't think about that!
I like how all of North America is just gone now
And hundreds of millions are wondering, how long can we tread water?
Me too
Central America is a region of North America
I don't exist in that world
the arabs have oil now
The african continent is actually pretty good for the other countries because 10 countries in Africa got the access to the seas. Rest is pretty bad tho
Not to mention that the Sahara would be non-existent. 😊

@@user-ry2om8wu5f You blind or something?
You should've taken into account the fact that the sea level would fall a bit because there's no land to occupy that space anymore.
would sudden drop of land mass affect climate? would earth becomes colder and gets into another lil boosted ice age or would it do the opposite or just nothing happens
And some countries would have a mountain that just ends, i think it makes the most sense if we think that the lands gets replaced with water so the sea level doesnt drop by 200 meters if not more
Nah, thats where the Dutch come in. New land to reclaim from the ocean.

Sorry to Kiwis occasionally being geographically snubbed on the edge of the Pacific, but having lived there several years (and becoming a proud citizen) it's still a bit of a "secret" knowing just how gorgeous it is. Even the Kiwis themselves often don't seem to know how lucky they are to be somewhat "unknown". When Armageddon comes it will be the last paradise.

@@HowDoYouTurnThisOn_ And he's right.
@@Kosmo2Neither right or wrong, there's multiple models of continents depending on where you're from

What I find a bit strange, that you say "kilometers squared", instead.of "squarekilometers".
Maybe unusual but there are quite some places where yoy day kilometers squared, or just anything "squared" whenever is has a ²
In some countries they are using kilometers squared
²km?????
@@geoguy7466 that is how we pronounce it in Germany.
@@geoguy7466 Quadratkilometer in German. A square with a side length of 1 km. That's why we say squarekilometer.
What If all of mainland North and South America along with mainland Eurasia disappeared
Just a thought, but what if you swapped populations around. Say, northern hemisphere swapped with southern hemisphere. Or Europe with the Americas. Asia with China. Lots of possibilities. And with the swap you should take into consideration the ability of each destination's geography into consideration when supporting that population. For example, moving China's population to New Zealand will probably have people standing shoulder to shoulder.
Asia with China?😅
There are now around 1.4 billion people in Asia, 4.5 billion or around 321% of the continent lies in china
Why yall talk abt china when it has lower population than india?
@@tranquilizerDvN Because its larger than India like its almost 3x bigger than India in size and It only has like 30 million ish less people than India so still really big in population
@@MeUltraNoobsDeath 30 million is actually huge number..
Also isnt it about population and not about the size,like if u are talking abt size then mongolia has low density if u are abt it
@@tranquilizerDvN 30 million is a huge number yes but like Size also matters so like in this case hes saying what if Asia swapped with China, India swapping with Asia is not suitable due to the fact that India is 3x smaller than China
What would climate be like now? Less deserts, shorter rivers, probably more rain. Would global shipping make sense? Ocean currents would be different.
In this new world in my opinion top countries by general statements (so gdp, military power, influence etc...) would be (this is not a perfect ranking):
1st Japan
2nd Germany
3rd United Kingdom
4th Italy
5th South Korea
6th Spain
7th Turkey
8th Indonesia
9th Pakistan
10th Saudi Arabia
Correct me if i'm wrong

@@GojiMasterZSorry, I guess I didn't make it look enough like a joke. See the joke is yhag Antartica I'd a continent and he was to remove the three largest nations from each. Now when you head to Antartica you'll find no claims backed by the UN. Of course there were claims there before the UN which could in theory be used as a concept for it but in my joke I was referring to the fact no country can claim Antartica under international law.

Honestly that map ay the beginning was lowkey fire apart from miasing Canada.
Kinda surprising how he just mostly skimmed over Sudan being gone because if that would happen, this would mean the Nile would now empty into the new sea in Sudan. That would probably have catastrophic consequences for Egypt.

America is not divided, so it would be left without Canada, the United States and Brazil, as a curious fact Brazil is the largest contiguous country in America surpassing the United States and Canada
Africa, Asia, and Europe are connected through Russia and the Middle east
Oh my Goodness. Please do your research before commenting misinformation.
Canada and USA are both 9 million km squared and Brazil is 8 million km squared. It said that in the video
@@LennonLove1515 Not in contiguous territory
Saying NA and SA are the same continent is like saying Africa and Asia are the same continent because of Egypt, or that Oceania and Asia are the same continent because of Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. Where are you from? 😂
I think that if Greenland isnt taken away from North America, then Denmark should be taken from europe
weird to think about! keep up the work!

Karen
This man did what Thanos couldnt and wiped out not only half of the human population but also wiped out about half of all land mass
now make a map where you fit the countries you removed from this map together to form a new continent on a fictional world.
I feel like Greenland and Denmark should have been removed instead of France if you're going to argue Greenland shouldn't have been removed as a North American country
*This video is absolutely fascinating! I never imagined how drastically our world map would change by removing the three largest countries from each continent. Truly mind-blowing!*
My predictions:
- Turkey controls the shortest path from European and North African ports to Asia that doesn't freeze in winter, making them a giant of international trade. Suez canal is still better, however, if you want to reach Indonesia or Southeast Asia.
- Kazakhstan in this reality would likely become a hub for piracy, much like Somalia is in our world, but not due to chaos, rather since with their population density they probably couldn't effectively guard their entire coastline.
- Without Russia, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth wouldn't fall :) (Unless it's conquered by Sweden). It'd also be a strong naval power, since forests in eastern Europe have trees with good wood for shipbuilding (Historically, British imported a ton of wood from prussia for that purpose, back when prussia was a vassal of PLC)
- Germany might become the dominant European superpower after it unifies, but without Napoleon unification of Germany might take a little longer. Until then, Habsburgs would probably enjoy a much more stable domination over Europe without french to worry about (Might even conquer all of Italy and put a Habsburg on Polish throne)
- With North America and India both gone, Great Brittain is gonna take a very different approach to colonisation. I think they'd intensify efforts in east asia, Japan is probably gonna be conquered by the British in this reality.
- Genghis Khan is probably not happening in this reality, not with the record on naval invasions Mongolian empire had on their conquests.
- Without manchu attacking them from the north and China influencing their politics, Korea will probably prosper more than in reality. Unlikely to stop Europeans from conquering them.
That's more or less all I could come up with
R.I.P my country 🇧🇷
6:36 i 'died'
Your North America made no sense.
If you're saying Greenland is just a dependency of Denmark then you should have just removed all of Denmark from the map.
This video is wrong, North, Central and South America are only subdivisions of America, but they arent their own continents, Why would a geography channel spread wrong information like this?
@@HowDoYouTurnThisOn_ It's not wrong information.
It's not "wrong information", it's culture. Different people from around the globe learn the Continents differently.
You seem to have discovered the existence of different continental models, congratulations!!
Next please could you do the same but with the 5 biggest countys
Gentlemen, we have just achieved world peace
Good thing most of the population was carried away with the chosen countries since a vast swath of farmable land was also eliminated. Actually, I'm not entirely sure the remaining four billion people have enough cropland to feed themselves.
Here’s an idea: show what the world map would look like (complete with national borders) as the sea levels increase in increments. Keep in mind that places that are below the new sea level but are surrounded by higher land would remain dry. End this when Mt. Everest disappears.
Then go the other way. Show what parts of the ocean would become dry land first as the oceans disappeared. Assume that any new land belongs to whatever country it’s closest to. End this when even Challenger Deep becomes dry land.

"now lets go in south america to my opinion its the craziest one"
Meanwhile north america is only greenland
The hurricanes in this revised planet are going to be fierce😮
Bolivia now has two coasts 🥹
Czechia is still being landlocked... a true curse
Ignoring greenland just because denmark owns it is really weird. Then where does greenland fit in? Maybe you should have taken denmark away from europe?
Interestingly Egypt would be quite hurt by this since the Nile now pours into the sea before reaching it.

@@SCOTLAND_ISGREAT French Guiana:

But in K of D are three countries and one of them is Greenland 🇬🇱 so it’s a country in a larger country/kingdom.
Was expecting you to start talking about how global weather and ocean currents might be affected. The geopolitical consequences would also be interesting. Almost certainly a whole bunch of new wars would break out.
one thing is for sure. Europe would be freezing right now. no more warm waters current flow from North america. it would be like mongolia. Mongolia would become chalk full of cold boreal forests like russia. Japan and korea might become colder or warmer due to North america gone.
I love how Ukraine in the thumbnail is deleted but not the much larger Saudi Arabia

North, Central and South America are regions, not continents. The continent is America and it is one. Removing the three largest countries from the American continent means removing Canada, the USA and Brazil.

korea becoming an island might be the most devastating part

This is how it looks just removing the land mass, but how does it look with the new sea levels as removing this much land would absolutely cause the sea levels to drop.
