2:16 the map only shows tennis courts in Europe. As an Algerian I can say that there are tennis courts here though it's not a super popular sport. Tunisia literally has one of the best women's tennis players atm.
Fun Fact! The Netherlands has the oldest tricolour! And the oldest still in use! Yes, our flag preceded the French one, I wouldn't be surprised if the Patriots helped inspire that flag or something similar.
9:28 Technically, all Dollars, all Pesos, and Yen, Yuan & Won are direct descendants of the Imperial Spanish Dollar (also known as Peso de Ocho). However, even the Spanish Dollar would still only take 3rd place on that list.
No they aren't all direct descendents, that implies that the Spanish dollar was the official currency before. It was named after it but that doesn't make it a direct descendent.
The number of tennis courts in Spain shows very well the population distribution of the country. Most of the inhabitants live along the coast, or in several inland cities, especially Madrid, the capital. But most of the inland is empty.
@@ThorinWolf Scotland has a population of 5.5 million, England has a population of 56 million. Scotland has 70 people per square km, England has 434 people per square km.

Norway is just mountain ranges with most of their population typically in coastal cities, which makes sense as no one wants to walk up a mountain to go to school.

12:12 Hawaii state citizen born and raised 90s baby from the big island. Our state is so outcasted and underrated unlike most others we try our very best to stay strong together because the housing crisis is destroying us. We don't have the energy or resources go fight amongst ourselves when we are barely able to afford a roof in our now fake paradise.
1:34 The reason most tennis courts in Spain are located in the coas is because most of them are located in hotels. Those are the places visited by gemans and brits and they love tennis. Look at Mallorca, top tourist destination for europeans. It's basically a blue dot.
Fun fact, the British Pound was made around the same time the Carolingian Denarius was created. Unfortunately France and Germany were created, so it got dissolved. 😔
Sweden shared the krona currency with Denmark, so a shared place. It was a joint initiative. It was the same literal coins in both countries. The Scandinavian Monetary Union. In 1875 Norway joined. This all lasted until 1914 when they "separated" but kept the kronor name.
2:35 this is just an enlarged China for easier viewing, they don't actually think that China is this big, you can even see bits of Manchuria in the background
0:42 two reasons: 1. The lake is freezing cold year-round, so it isn’t good for storms. 2. We have one giant building that makes the lightning gravitate towards it.
The tennis courts map is basically just a wealth map. Divides between Western and Eastern Europe, Western and Eastern Germany, and tourist and non-tourist areas.
The flag of Russia is red, white, and blue because Peter the Great based it off of the Dutch flag. Slavic nations also use red, white, and blue because they were inspired by Russia, the largest and most powerful slavic nation at the time.
The lightning density map shows the places that see the most thunderstorms every year, with Florida and the gulf coast having the highest incidence due to having the ingredients (heat, moisture, and a lifting mechanism [sea breezes normally]) to produce thunderstorms. Forgonnia in west central Illinois is the only part of the state that doesn't have a major interstate going through it, and thus it was 'forgotten'.

I´m from Buenos Aires and i´ve never heard of the "stained jacket trick". More common is a passerby asking for "What time is it?" and then grabbing your phone away
There's a NHL hockey team, from Tampa Bay, Florida, who is named for precisely for being from a place that's notorious for lightning strikes, the team in question, is the "Tampa Bay Lightning."
you forgot the state of deseret. what brigham young proposed to be a state to the government. it would literally be all of utah, nevada, half of arizona, and half of california. it was crazy
Polish medieval courency actually technically also was złoty, but there were only 2 coins refered to złoty and main trade coins were actually grosze, that are 1/100 of złoty now, when it was splitted as 1/2, 1/4, 1/8 etc of złoty instead. It was changed due to German influence and partiotion to Marks, Polskie Marki were a short lived courency from 1918 up to bringing first version of złoty in 20'.
Those parts of Mexico were offered in sale to the US but we said no thanks, they could have added more Mexican territory to that map. Also the US barely considered adding Cuba as a state, instead they preferred to create a new independent state favorable to the US and its companies.
In Oklahoma it's just the full gamut. Tornados are the mere side dish. As Oklahoma has had more federal disasters declared just because of high winds and general storms than twisters. I have seen plenty of fallen trees and missing roofs from this.
I can accept 5 new states. 55 states has a nice ring to it. Of course like the pre-Civil War states, the 5 states need to be equal share of conservative and liberal states.
I’ve seen the rose scam too, walking through European cities. My wife doesn’t get bothered by it when I say no though because she’s more streetwise than I am and would be more bothered if I overpaid for something like that lol. Just go to a florist for flowers if you want to do it. They’re nicer and much cheaper.
11:50 also I think that dividing up California makes sense. the coast and the delta is more populated than the desert, sierras, Central Valley and redwood country, and also more blue than the red interior (politically)
