      Japan has always been Japan, because the same emperor family has been around for about 2000 years. SO Tokunaga is not acceptable in the first place, should be Japan according to China dynasties shown in this video.
      Additionally, London should not be england in the old days. It should be the names of dynasties.

    • @paulwilliammurphy1327
      @paulwilliammurphy1327 11 місяців тому +8

      The permits are called hukou in Chinese . They tie the person to the area they are registered. If you carry a resident permit for that area you can access local facilities like education for your children and health care . In the bigger more wealthy cities like Beijing and Shanghai they also give you the right to purchase property and a buy car . People who move to a city that they do not carry a permit for are at a distinct disadvantage. Poor people from the countryside will often just work in big cities but they will not bring their children as they will not be allowed to attend school in a city the do not carry a resident permit. It essentially controls the movement of people and gives advantage to people who have lived in an area for generations. Of course if you are wealthy or have attractive skill set with high education you can obtain resident permit for areas which you move to but for average Chinese it is very difficult to gain a residency permit for a economically rich area .

Existem muitas especulações do motivo da mudança de capital, uma delas é de se urbanizar essa região do Brasil, onde hoje e Brasília, uma desculpa claramente esfarrapada, rsrsrsrs... poeque essas áreas seriam popularizadas de acordo com o crescimento do Brasil, como aconteceu nos Estados Unidos e outros países, argumento comum esse, porém tão fraco quanto, e para piorar a situação dos brasileiros, na qual reflete até os dias atuais sobre os brasileiros, como toda a lambanças que JK fez, como ter abandonado as entregas de cargas por trens, em vez de moderniza-las, fez mudar essas entregas pelo Brasil, por caminhões, que possuem uma capacidade de carga visivelmente inferior ao dos três, além de se gastar mais, devido ao combustíveis, deixando os alimentos e tudo para os brasileiros, bem menos em conta, isso é... bem mais caro, e não acaba aí, Brasília foi construida numa área completamente inapropriada para construções urbanas, por isso não é incomum, pessoas terem sangues saindo de suas narinas, principalmente em determinadas épocas do ano, por isso, um clima que já era seco com vegetação, se tornou ainda pior com a urbanização nessa área completamente inapropriada para urbanização, a pergunta que faço é... qual moral o Brasil tem para falar em pró do meio ambiente para outros países, se sua capital é o maior simbolo de desmatamento ambiental? É sinônimo mundial de desmatamento ambiental ilegal que o dinheiro no bolso dos políticos fez se transformar em desmatamento ambiental "legal". Em Paris você sente a França, em Londres você sente a Inglaterra e também o Reino Unido, em Moscou, a Rússia, Tóquio, você sente o Japão, e outros países com capitais que possuem a alma do povo através da cultura e História, como Itália, Estados Unidos da América, na qual Washington possui isso, e assim como Recife, Salvador, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro e qualquer outra capital brasileira de norte a sul tem mais Brasil do que Brasília, porém entre cultura por misturas de brasileiros de diversas regiões do Brasil ( única coisa que Brasília tem), mistura entre povos de migrantes de outros países que migraram para o Brasil, natureza com azul do mar e verde das matas e montanhas, mpstrando ao mundo a natureza brasileira, fica visível que o Rio de Janeiro é a cidade com maior ligação com todo Brasil , é se colocarmos um duelo de qual cidade tem mais Brasil na alma, (cultura, História, natureza...) Rio de Janeiro vs Brasília, o Rio de Janeiro ganha de lavada de Brasília, a pergunta é... porque Brasília continua sendo capital do Brasil? Depois os brasileiros reclamam que alguns estrangeiros dizem que a capital do Brasil é Buono Aires, não temos que reclamar de nada, a culpa é nossa, nós é que aceitamos isso, acreditando em diversos papos furados que se escuta do porque da causa de se mudar a capital do Brasil, se o Brasil tivesse feito o que fez a Coreia do Sul, estaríamos muito melhores hoje, não com apenas 2 grandes cidades, S Paulo e Rio de Janeiro, teríamos muitas cidades grandes, como acontesse nos Estados Unidos, Nova York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston, Philadelfia, Atlanta etc... mas temos apenas 2, e no caso do Rio de Janeiro, devido a mudança de capital federal para Brasília, com tal abandono, se criou a primeira facção criminosa do Brasil, o Comando Vermelho, que serviu de mal exemplo para criminosos espalhados pelo Brasil, fundarem outras facções criminosas, que é o caso do PCC em São Paulo, a semelhança da fundação dessa facção criminosa com a do CV, não é mera coincidência. Está vendo como foi "bom" a fundação de Brasília? Rio de Janeiro, Recife, Salvador, Porto Alegre etc... cidades que possuem muito mais Brasil do que Brasília, Rio de Janeiro é uma cidade de artistas de diversos meios, tem muito mais Brasil, até o compositor do hino nacional brasileiro é carioca, escrevi para você o que crianças brasileiras não costumam aprender nas escolas sobre o enorme prejuízo por causa da mudança de capital para o Brasil, essa verdade, escondem das crianças nas escolas por todo Brasil, é óbvio, serão os próximos adultos, provavelmente também não se fala abertamente isso no próprio Rio de Janeiro, o Rio de Janeiro como Paris, Londres, Moscou, Tóquio, tem muito mais a alma da população de seu país,do que Brasília, qualquer brasileiro de bom senso nota que a mudança de capital federal do Rio de Janeiro para Brasília, foi um dos... se não o maior... dos erros que já se teve no Brasil em toda sua História, causando sequelas por toda parte, não apenas na cidade e estado do Rio, como você disse, mas em todo Brasil, incluindo na imagem do Brasil no exterior, já que o Rio é é sempre foi, a imagem do Brasil para o mundo, por isso JK jamais deve ser tratado como um herói brasileiro ao lado de por exemplo, Alberto Santos Dumont.

      Europe was politically, economically and militarily dominant in the middle 1700s (probably dating back to the 1600s); but geographically europe is tiny and cannot support a massive population.
      The interesting fact is it was the spanish discovery of the new world which would leepfrog europe from international backwater to world power player. And it wasn't for reasons you might be thinking. at about the same time europe was discovering the new world, China was changing it's tax laws, forbidding "bartering goods" as a means of taxation, requiring all taxes to be paid in currency. the problem was china didnt have enough silver to mint enough coins to allow it's massive population to actually pay it's taxes, so it started a world wide purchase of silver, which drove silver prices up to near or even exceeding the price of gold.
      This was tremendous good fortune for spain, because the new world was filled with silver. silver out of it's butt. This made silver more valuable then gold in the spanish eyes. this allowed spain to jumpstart their economy out of the post black death malaise, and incidentally it also dragged most of europe out of it as well, as spain, flushed with gold through their trading with china, then spent their gold like drunken sailors in europe.
      this in turn allowed europe to massively industrialize as it now had the assets necessary to do so. and the rest was history.

    • @bheer98
      @bheer98 11 місяців тому

      I think some of the "vaporizing" is the way the chart represented the change in official dynasty/empire many of the cities experienced. They would quickly drop out of nowhere and then pop back up as a different dynasty. Also, the scaling change throughout the video with all of the other cities rising quickly contributed to that effect. But there were a couple of instances where cities did drop off the map because there was a noticeable decrease in total population--I think those cities would make for a fascinating historical case study.

      Not a bad thing. Being packed in like Sardines is overrated. Internet connectivity is taking over from having to be in the centre of things nowadays.

      Up until the 20th century, a city was an urban area. Proper cities limits nowadays are more about arbitrary administrative limits and are therefore a worthless measure. Proper city limits don't mean a thing, the urban area is the sensible metric.
