Kaiser Wilhelm, there should be no apostrophe in “Americans”.
LOL
Kaiser I be thinking it better you no insult English proficiency of Americans when you no master it yourself.
Probably done that way on purpose.
Are you in the desert part of sudan or the grassy part of sudan (not south sudan)
"So today in the 21st century, this small town remains Spanish because a treaty 350 years ago considered it a city because it had been a capital city of a county of a principality, which came into existance 900 years ago."
This is one of the reasons I love Europe.
Meanwhile in Africa: some baron decided his colony should be the shadow of his birthmark even though it would cross over 5 rivers and dozens of native tribes plus there's this one really long part so that he has access to a lake that has some fish he thinks are cool
I WonderWhy it took him so long
(sorry)
Snarky Edmonton Cyclist I _wonder why_ you use 'an' rather than 'a' when at this point in time FAQ should be considered as a word.
But you don't pronounce FAQ as "fack", which is how it would sound, you pronounce it "F, A, Q," so it's an "an".
Dave Null The pronounciation of FAQ begins with an 'a' / 'e'.
Thus pronouncing 'a ef-ay-que' would be unusual and not the english one speaks.

Why, are you sorry? That's a good one.

What about Phesant Island in Spain/France, which changes which country it belongs to every 6 months
Isac Calderon Sierra RLL did a video on that
Yeah, Isaac is right.
@mPky1inhich cancels eachother out since it still rotates
Isac Calderón Sierra that’s similar to Strom Thurmond Lake along the Georgia/South Carolina border. Growing up, it was Clarks Hill Lake, as it was then Georgia’s “turn” to name the lake; and, it has been Strom Thurmond Lake for probably 20 years now, as it is now South Carolina’s “turn”.
It's weird when you realize that Alaska is in its entirety, an exclave.
enclave
@@boiledpepsi11 it's not an enclave, an enclave is a piece of land completely surrounded by a country but Alaska has a coast line
@@TylerR0913 which is actually longer than its Canadian border
Josh Paterno well i mean that what happens when you take a piece of land bigger than texas and give it a coastline on three of its sides
an exclave in a exclave, because Canada is an exclave.
You missed all of the interesting Spanish exclaves and focused on the basic ones only! Spain has even one island which belongs to it half a year only.
Pheasant Island, if anyone wondered.
But that's not an exclave
Exclave or not, it's still pretty much useless
And Spain have more exclaves in Morocco
I would argue that your example is the most boring one. Just a piece of useless land that no one can walk on, in the middle of a river, where the twice-yearly border change isn’t even made official by a ceremony anymore.

verb
past tense: exclaimed; past participle: exclaimed
cry out suddenly in surprise, strong emotion, or pain.
"‘Well I never,’ she exclaimed"
Yes, it is.
Fil Buric yeah no, you're still using it incorrectly
Nordir erm, no I'm not, learn some English before telling others they are wrong. I cried out in surprise, which means I exclaimed.
@Fil Buric you're using it correctly in the most literal definition of the word. however, "exclaimed" is most often used as a verb in the idea of "said", as in "He said / He exclaimed" - in fact, I've never seen it used as a first person verb - which is why those other commentators considered you to be using the word incorrectly.
it's about time buddy

Here are some my suggestion for the final part!:
- Dahagram: Even tough Bangladesh and India resolved their super complex borders, there is STILL one exclave! And it's Dahagram! So close! But I havemy solution for that. Step one, you make a thick road borders, not too thick through Baura for Kuchlibari. Step two, connect the another Kuchlibari to Dahagram by a small thick road borders. Step three, extend Dahagram's border to Paschim Chhatnai so that they are connected.
- Büsingen am Hochrhein: The exclave of Germany, located near the mainland of Germany in south, surrounded by Switzerland. And it is also near to the Lake Constance!
- Jungholz: A part of Austria that is JUST ALMOST an exclave and that is JUST ALMOST surrounded by Germany! At the narrowest, it is only 4.6 meters or 15.18 feet, which is the narrowest border!
- Dubrovnik: An exclave of Croatia separated by Bosnia and Herzegovina at the south of Croatia. It also has ALMOST another exclave at the east of the exclave!
- Međurečje, Čajniče Municipality, and Zubanj: Međurečje is an exclave of Bosnia and Herzegovina and near it to the left is a thin road border which lead to a tiny part of Čajniče Municipality and Zubanj (Also the road is a part of Zubanj). This borders Serbia from Bosnia and Herzegovina.
- Gibraltar: A part of United Kingdom that is located at the very south of Spain.
*Honorable mentions:*
- Artvashen, Kərki, Sofulu, and Yuxarı Əskipara: These are the exclaves of Armenia and Azerbaijan. Artveshen is an exclave of Armenia, surrouned by Azerbaijan, while Kərki, Sofulu, and Yuxarı Əskipara are the exclaves of Azerbaijan, surrounded by Armenia.
- The treaties of Israel, Jordan, and Syria: Yeah, there is a lot of them in the southwestern part of Asia next to Africa!
- The borders of Moldova: Yes, they are pretty bizarre and janky looking! Especially the southern ones!
Gibraltar is not part of the United Kingdom, it is an overseas territory, in other words, a dependency of the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom only consists of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The crown dependencies (Isle of Man, Guernsey, and Jersey) and the overseas territories (Gibraltar, Akrotiri and Dhekelia, Bermuda, Turks and Caicos Islands, Cayman Islands, Virgin Islands, Anguilla, Montserrat, Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha, Falkland Islands, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands, British Antarctic Territory, British Indian Ocean Territory, and Pitcairn, Henderson, Ducie and Oeno Islands) are not technically part of the United Kingdom.
Apart from that, there are major problems with some overseas territories, especially with Gibraltar. The United Kingdom claims that Spain ceded Gibraltar by signing the 1713 Treaty of Utrecht, however, that is not what the treaty stipulates. Article 10 is more than clear that only the settlement of Gibraltar (the castle) is ceded and it explicitly says that the territory is not ceded, meaning that Gibraltar is illegally occupied by the United Kingdom, it is not a legal overseas territory, it is legally part of Spain. The Falkland Islands and the South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands are also illegal situation, both usurped from Argentina, as the vast majority of the international community and of the academic community conclude. The British Indian Ocean Territory is part of Mauritius as determined by the International Court of Justice and Cyprus claims back Akrotiri and Dhekelia.
Fun fact.
Lake San Martín in Argentina, changes its name to Lake O'Higgins whe it crosses the border with Chile
It's the only example I've heard about a lake that changes its name depending on wich country is it ( And doesn't depend on the language)
El Lago Buenos Aires pasa a ser Lago General Carrera acá donde yo vivo
U3ithpejpr
@BMAN488877 it's called Phesant Island, and it does not change it's name, only the country who owns it.
La verdad para Chile habría sido perfectamente aceptable también llamarlo San Martín. Sería un buen nombre para un lago chileno-argentino. El otro lago no, no aceptaríamos un lago llamado "Buenos Aires" en Chile, lógicamente. Supongo que la diferencia es porque alguna vez ambos países reclamaron la totalidad de ambos lagos y les deben haber puesto su propio nombre: según el doble criterio de las más altas cumbres que dividen las aguas, esos lagos deben haber sido problemáticos, porque los dos están al este de los Andes pero desaguan en el Pacífico.
No tiene sentido, San Martín no solamente liberó chile sino que cruzó los mismísimos Andes.
Ohiggins solamente luchó por chile en el territorio al oeste de la cordillera
It's Ceuta not Sueta.
Time stamp?
Some areas of the Chilean Argentine border are not yet defined, since it has been impossible to predict whether the waters would flow into one or the other ocean. The division by peaks is no longer supported by either side (Aconcagua, for example, which is the second highest mountain in the world, is entirely in Argentine territory).The united kingdom was the third opinion in several moments of history, in cases in which the criterion of the division of waters was not sufficient, for that reason, mainly to the south, the limits are more arbitrary, with many straight lines of peak to peak and an island split in half (which allowed both countries to have coasts in both oceans)
PS: do not let anyone tell you that Argentina "stole" Patagonia or vice versa. Neither country had real control over Patagonia at the moment of independence, both claimed the total of this region and was "unoccupied" (there were aboriginal nations) until not much more than 100 years ago, when both nations began their expansionism. It is almost a miracle that they have never been at war.
@Ema Strnad un tratado mientras chile estaba en la guerra del pacífico 👍
"Second Highest Mountain in the world"
Klev Aconcagua is massive, but is far from the 2nd tallest mountain the world. It’s actually close to being the 200th tallest.
@@GuadalupePicasso Really? I was taught as a kid that it was the second tallest.

Can you explain the Alaska panhandle next time?
UK just didn't care when it was establishing border between Russia and Canada.
And in the end USA was the biggest winner.
+Kosta M. That's not entirely true. The main reason the Alaska panhandle exists has nothing to do with the US or Canada, but rather with the geographical extent of Russian America and the combined posts of the Hudson's Bay Company and Northwest Company. While generally, the territory of the latter two was to the south and east of Russian America, there were ports established by the Russians in what is now the Alaska panhandle that were in fact south of trading posts established further inland by the two British fur trading companies. Because cutting either territory off along a longitudonal or latitudonal line would have either deprived Alaska of valuable southern ports or the Northwest Territories of valuable furrying territory, the border between Canada and the US exclave of Alaska was drawn the way it is, largely to follow the earlier ill-defined but similar border between Russian America and the fur companies of Britain.

One thing I'm surprised you didn't mention about the Chile-Argentina border is the undefined area in the Southern Patagonia Ice Field. I know it was being worked on last I checked, but even if it's become historical, it's an interesting point on those borders.
Living in Bangladesh my teachers never thought me how complex our border was and so I was surprised to see part 1. Also now I know the truth about how our area increased because when it happened people spread the rumor that the Bangladesh government bought those areas. What a shame! Thank you for letting me know all these things.

The 2 Ls in Meli*ll*a have a Y sound, therefore his pronunciation is right. "Meliya"

I remember driving from Spain to France in that exact same area. I noticed I left France, as I wanted, but then ended up in Spain again while still driving north which left me confused. So I went back and took a route around the town. Keep in mind, I had no map or GPS.
very interesting. especially the part about Chile and Argentina
That's the third longest border between two countries in the world, so they had a lot of issues.

So Alaska is the world's largest enclave separated from USA by Canada
theboyuan0jcfan good point
Actually, it would be an exclave. It doesn't qualify as an enclave because of its coast line.
William Astle exactly an exclave is a country that is completely surrounded by another one
Holly Thomas Actually, no. An *exclave* is just a part of a country that is separated from its main body. An *enclave* is a country or part of a country that is completely surrounded by another country. An exclave can also be an enclave but it doesn't have to be. Thus Alaska is an exclave but it is not an enclave because it has coast which means it cannot be completely surrounded.

Wondering if you might want to talk about Andorra, which is its own oddity. Also, while not an International border, I’d like to refer you to an oddity inside of the United States known as “The Wedge”, which was under the nominal control of three different states at one point, owing to the unusual Northern border of the state of Delaware. There are also exclaves of Delaware in the state of New Jersey, owing to that same odd circular border and the movement of fill land along the Delaware River.
For reference :
