When you create new kinds of Balkans but still miss Portugal 💀
And Spain
This is literally what I'm thinking
Southwestern balkans
Always forgetting the Caribbean
@@coolshirtbra8755 and also latin america aka Taco and football balkans
5:34 Fun fact about that, in French, we actually do call that letter double V not double U. That's a rare W for the French language right there.
I see what you did there. Brilliant.
And y is called the 'Greek E'!
@@crazycoolbanana1631 It is called "I grec" or "greek I"
Same in Norwegian
@@superjekk Ohhh, cool! I was taught Greek e in class. Thank you for telling me the actual saying :D
0:59 as a brazilian... i can confirm that(if you put brazil in the title its 200k). WE ARE NOT BALKAN, I REPEAT, WE ARE NOT BALKAN(just because portugal is balkan it dosent mean that we are)
You 100% balkan now
it is 50.000 not 50,000 there is a difference

@الصامت لوقا São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Santa Catarina and nonexistent Acré: Way ahead of you
Hi Drew, Italian here, happy to contribute with something about my country every now and then (but also totally happy with the amount of space it gets on the channel maybe even less, more interesting realities for me to learn about) still, couple contibutions:
at 2:00 Germany and Italy actually share the concept of celebrating the defeat in WW2, one of the more cherished national holidays is the Liberation day (Festa della Liberazione, quite similar to the 4th of July, even in that it's often referred to just by the date, 25 aprile. The titular liberation is from nazifascism, it's the day the command of north Italy stationed in Milan, ordered the general insurrection against the ocupying nazi fascist forces - actually some days before the arrival of allies troops which were in the gruesome central Italy fight, giving the Italian people some margin to rebuild a collective identity to be proud of, while metabolizing in full the sick path of the past.
the other one is about pizza ahaha just to confirm, in all Italy sweet pizza is legit, like nutella and bananas or coconut (French crepes still better for this imo) or just plain nutella which we are fond of like you would be about peanuts and jam :D
edit: in Rome where I live, a classic and very popular pizza you can find in late summer (typically takeway NewYork style) or just make youself, it's plain pizza, stuffed with ripe figs and italian ham - pizza 'prosciutto e fichi' (re-edit: if you happen to google image it, most images are bad american-trendy round pizzas, the good one is a close up of a stuffed one, it's like in the middle of the second row) it's delicious trust me. And yes, we love our melon and ham 'prosciutto e melone' which is a fantastic appetizer indeed, but not on pizza lol
Pizza memes are always funny to me because its origins in Italy are basically "baked flatbread with whatever you want"
Also something a lot of people don't realize about why Italy and Germany would celebrate "losing" WWII is that the first country both factions of fascist invaded were Italy and Germany, and the "normal people" were just as much victims of those regimes as anyone else
I'd also give Italians part of the W for so many Italian officers surrendering to allied forces that Germany had to take direct oversight and effectively fight on a *third* front.
You are right about the fig pizza but I don't see many people eating it.

8:45 Drew, you covered a meme in this very channel 2 or 3 years ago, in which it was stated that the so-called 'world news' by default meant only USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, S. Korea, Philippines, Sweden, Spain, Poland & Cold-War era NATO countries (except Turkey).
8:49 - Kingdom Come: Deliverance. Daniel Vávra doesn't like fantasy elements mixed into real history games, so this one has neither dragons nor black people in the middle of medieval Bohemia (something that some Americans found very difficult to come to terms with).
Yeah, Italy would be one thing but travelers rarely got far enough into Bohemaia of all places. Even then if they would be included it'd be pretty ugly. The worst thing to do in pre-modern societies is standing out. If you look like you don't belong to the region then unless you got a small army or other huge advantages don't expect to have a good time.
Wow, the ghost of Drew seems to have everything handled. Should we just keep him?
Its an ai as said at the end
Lets just keep this drew
I think South Asia ( except Pakistan) can be renamed to “rice Balkan 3” cause Bangladesh and India consume more rice per capita than Japan I live in west India where we eat rice like 2 times a day lol but if you go to south and east india rice is like the staple food there. Bangladesh ,Nepal and Sri Lanka even consume rice more than china and South Korea ( per capita)
Pakistan eats a lot of rice too, its a staple of the cuisine.
How can you be so sure of that? Just asking lol
@@shanmianhiyueshongdaojukei9732 ...I mean just search up 'pakistani cuisine' and go to images lol. But in all seriousness rice is eaten a lot due to Pakistan's cultural similarities with India. Dishes like Pulao, Biryani, Kichiri, Mandi and more are all extremely popular. Every household I visited in Karachi offered me some form Biryani. hopes this helps :)
@@shanmianhiyueshongdaojukei9732 there are official figures of rice consumption per capita for different countries (lol) so search it up also South asian , especially India and Sri lanka have so many rice dishes .
are u serious? pakistan eats a lot of rice, so much so that two rice dishes, biryani and palao, have the whole nation debating which is better
It would be amazing if you made a Croatia plushy hold a parasol referencing their beaches
3:43 The USA has bad "British" beans. If you went to the UK and got some Heinz beans, they would taste good. People in the USA will just make something bad then call it British. Respect to the people in the USA who don't do that.
No you go slavia m8
5:10 also true when you speak any kind of Slavic language when someone's not familiar with them.
They immediately think it's Russian, even when it's not even close.
RIP Drew Durnil

Let’s hope the imposter can continue this channel after the real Drew was oofed
Thank you for making my morning every day for the past year or two we love you Drew
8:49 a good subversion of this is the ranger’s apprentice book series. john flanagan started it out as a fantasy series but gradually replaced everything with 13th century european history
2:55 Can confirm. I was his brother sitting in his room whilst he discovered it.
5:26 The reason why "W" is called double-U, is because the letter used to instead be two U's printed next to each other, but then we decided to combine them to create one character. Then, like all English things, it got simplified down to 2 V's, even though it is still called "double-U," not "double-V".
8:06 this also applies to us Filipinos, just a little bit lessened
I feel like Mongolia is like the Slovenia of Rice Balkans 1

Isaac Newton did sort of invent Calculus, but that's hard to explain to kids when you can just say "lol, apple go bonk."
7:02 I find it funny how each of them has at least one "The War Criminal" type in them.
Drew if you listen to the people telling you to make Balkan plushies then give Romania a bottle of blood or a garlic chain to keep away vampires.
5:30
Funniest thing is, in English, it's Double-U, but looks like two V's
In Fr*nch, it's "Double-V", but when written by hand, it's two U's
In Spanish, from what I've seen, what it is interchangeable from Double-U, Double-V, or sometimes even Double-UV, and looks the same.
*Important to note that in Spanish, there is no real 'W' letter, it's only for loanwords from another language, like Washington, Waffles, or something similar
Why did you censor French?
@SpruceGuy1 Why didn't you?
8:35 no mention of pacific islands, or australia or NZ
Petition for drew to put the khanate of khiva flag in the background day 6
6:32 Drew you missed the joke she was saying Steve Jobs
At least in my language (Finnish) "double-U" is actually "double-V", but it's not used much, at least anymore, except some loanwords.
You can also do the summoning with the Dutch, but that requires you to be Dutch yourself otherwise its much less effective
Kingdom Come Deliverance: non fantasy medieval RPG. The save system is unique but anoying. A solid game regardles.
It’s a shame that the kidnapper killed drew. He can’t enjoy anymore time in that Patagonian village with his Argentinian grandpa

Drew when he realised that Sweden made banana pizza: Delete Sweden
Hungary who made orange pizza with honey and jalapeño: Better run
That sounds pretty good ngl
Petition for Drew to make a series covering Ace Combat and its multiple universes: [Day 143]
The A-143 Buzzard was primarily built for the Altis Armed Forces as a multi role attack jet. Post conflict, seized assets were stripped of all weaponry and sold to the civilians of Altis. Its one of the cheaper jet air planes available to purchase on Altis. Its often used now for quick transport around the island as well as a recon vehicle during rebel activities.
Fun fact about the "W" is that it can be both a "double-u" and a "double-v", because in Latin the two letters were the same and I believe it always made the sound that "W" now makes. So for example "Veni Vidi Vici" would have been pronounced as "Wueeni Wuiidi Wuiiki"
Yes. Romans read the V as "U"
9:36 I have been waiting for so long for someone to make a joke about Pakistan's capital.
Why
why not @@randomguywithbluehair9366
3:15 Well the genius part of the Newton's 1st law was the "in motion" part. More precisely, velocity, including direction and speed, won't change.
But yup, the "at rest" part sound pretty dumb.
And then you realise that nothing is truly at rest, because everything is moving relative to other things in the universe. Newton's first law is even more powerful if you include relativity.
Islamabad often in central Asia and some parts of south Asia Abad is a post fix to a name that means town. You see a similar thing in English with Ford or Bridge exposing the origin of the town
We need more historical medieval RPGs. And we need more fantasy Map Games. xD
1:08 Me as a German:" did you forget about me?!", calls the beerbuddies to infiltrate a new comment section 😂, but no worries, we`re peaceful
4:36 that is Erika and it means peace but since it’s German it’s a Nxzi even if it was not in world war 2

You can thank the JRPG's for turning the medieval area into a fantasy era.
Yeah. I always wonder why they always put fantasy thingies into a historical medieval set of genre.
Is it because they say [ it matches the LORE of the story ]?
Idk about that anymore.
surely a tolkien thing not a jrpg thing?

It's actually Pokemon diamond
I thought it was ruby/sapphire
He only does it in the American version of Gen 4 D/P.
Another day of asking Drew to put up the Guernsey flag
8:50 i think the game kingdome come deliverance is one of the only game that is and will come this close
8:17 id say french and german fit into that aswell, with french you have stuff like: oui oui baguette, surrender monkey and with you got austrian painter stuff and just yelling.
As one of Jerma's knees, I'd argue that all Jerman speaking regions should also be honorary balkan
"This is probably gonna be the only time in history where a country celebrates their own L"
*screams in Catalan* (our national day is also the day we lost as a nation)
6:46 honestly as a midwesterner we sort of are Balkan because there is just random rivalries against each other and we don’t know why
"A body at rest will remain at rest, unless acted on by an external force"

The letter W or Double U comes directly from Latin where U and V were represented by the same character and the expression of the rare W that wasn't in any native Latin word was expressed as VV or 2 V's overlapping slightly.
Over many decades the U, V and W all evolved further into seperate distinct characters. In French they refer to W as Double V.
Petition for Drew to review the w video from Jan Misali?
Drew just made every Norwegian watching him very happy when he said that about Sweden we all 100% agree and give the land to Finland and Norway 50/50
Well we are Curry Balkans but also Rice Balkans
A lot Rice are eaten here than those others 😅
Bro you forgot that leonardo de Vinci thought of the concept of gravity before Isaac newton but kept it a seceret
5:27
W was named W because the way people wrote it, it looked like two U
It look like two V due to the printing press which changed its look and that form of W became vary popular
But we write W as two U
Fun fact : many languages call "W" double V and not double U, like french for example

0:24 Red Alert 2 reference.
4:16 meanwhile South Africa just outright stole erika, still sung by some in Afrikaans.
5:35 This is why it is called a double V in french.
9:13 it’s pretty good though. You can’t deny it.
It’s like Hawaii but more tropical. And don’t forget to mention it has curry.
As an Italian I can say that we should destroy that pizza, is a crime against Italian culture.
At this point I think is just a joke, nobody would eat it
@@saulgoodman9025No offence but it is actually my favourite pizza and about half of those I know what pizza they like also answer that.
It is a bit unusual for non-Nordic people most often though and I understand not everyone likes it. If you need therapy after reading that I can tell you pizza with walnuts, mozzarella Cerano-ham, honey, jalapeños(often paprika because jalapeños is considered to hot) and Gustavskorv(a Swedish sausage made of horses) is relatively common. Almost never exactly that but always that with some variation. It is usually seen as exotic and often has Spanish or Italian names in pizzerias because it is so southern. So not all pizza is so bad by Italian standards I hope.
*Ball...kan*
What a great place lol.

Les go
2:47 oh crap, yeah all that pride garbage would probably be not celebrated anymore seeing the trend is starting to die down
6:45 “The Cold Balkans” is pretty funny, and as someone from MN, I find it to be somewhat true. Just try not to start an argument on whether it’s ‘hotdish’ or ‘casserole’
Concerning Newton, you really have to consider the context here. Much of the physics at the time was influenced by scholastics and, therefore, the philosophy of Aristoteles. And for him, there is something called the natural place for all the elements: things made from fire and air tend to go away from the center of the Universe (for Aristoteles, the middle point of Earth) and things made from water and earth tend to be attracted to it. Therefore, the former go "up" and the latter go "down". So yes, in this world view, an object indeed can act without any force being applied to it by simple virtue of its intrinsic nature. Hence the importance of Newtons first law: there is no such thing as substantial tendencies and objects move only according to the influence of other objects, i.e., when an external force is applied.
