ETHIOPIA WAS NEVER COLONIZED!
Is true they was invaded in the WWII, but Poland and France also was invaded in the WWII and anyone says they was germany colony...
Ethiopia is more of a colonizer.
Gabriel Fagundes but the second world War started in 1939 and Ethiopia was invaded 3 years before so technically they were colonized
Of course you were colonized ....
Alido kadri, in the year 1939 the germany invade Poland, your book say that is the begginer of the WWII because is Eurocentric. But, Japan invade the Manchuria in 1931 and Moussoline invade Ethiopia 1936.
If the world was less eurocentric, they will teach the world war began in 1931 in east and in 1936 the west... But as Euro-supremacy world. You belive the war began in 1939 (cause, just in this year the war arrive in European soil).
UND JUST REMEMBER. Ethiopia was a EMPIRE to 1000 B.C until 1975 A.D
As the king of Portugal fleed when Napoleon invaded, but still a king in the exile.
The king of Ethiopia still a king during the WWII and back to Ethiopia in 1945 as king.
*They never got Thailand*
the amount of time and effort you put into your videos is amazing
you are by far the most underrated youtuber
zero pr0ductions Struggle is real
Yeah, video is good and idea is good, just hire someone to talk instead of you, it's hard to understand you.
It is worth noting that Thailand was not lucky about being branded as a buffer state. Thailand escaped the similar fate of it's neighbor from allying itself with Austria and Russia; instead of using France and Britain against one another, which both country had a secret deal to not fight each other prior to invasion. Also, Thailand cut Cambodia and Malay into two parts; moving all of the workforce into Siam before tricking Britain and France into conquering it and accepting Thailand sovereignty. Britain and France made multiple attempt in bribing state official to rebel and accept their rule. Furthermore, France and Britain even invaded Thailand, in an attempt to provoke retaliation from Thailand, but the result is minimal, and Thailand has a huge store of cash to buyout any war reparations made by the two superpower. Buffer state is simply an "excuse" for a failed colonization of Thailand.
This video is not true the uk and most countries in europe didnt exist Before 1917 most countries didnt exist before this or had different names in areas which where controlled by many kingdoms
America was created by Europe had colonies and rhe Japanese where taken over by europe in the 19th century
That feeling when you are not even worth colonizing
Don't worry, it will happen. There's plenty of colonising fish in the sea. :D
I could see what my government could do about that. Maybe when we leave the EU we'll get ahead of ourselves and go back to reuniting the British empire. Well we would if it wasn't for nukes.
ILikeCats Hahahaha. Do people actually believe Britain could colonise again? Do you people learn history?
What? that we colonised a bunch of shit? Also of course I was being sarcastic just because I'm like "Hey my country is not a literal pile of dog shit" does not mean I'm some sort of meme.
Salad Ass - are you Liberian?
Should have still included Ethiopia, they weren't really colonized when Italy annexed them, it was kind of just an occupation
Japan was effectively economically controlled by the usa after www2.
Liberia became a colony for former American slaves.
Korea was split into North and South, controlled by China and the US respectively.
Thailand was under economic control by the UK.
Vik London yeah but if it wasnt for the usa japan wouldnt become anything major
And in talkig both in the 19th century when the americans first came and their influence after the ww2
goff0103 he did mention china
goff0103 do u listen
Vik London only two w not three
The title of the video is "10 countries that avoided EUROPEAN colonization". The United States is not a European country.
ETHIOPIA is the only african country that was never colonized ..
The Mongolians failed to invade Japan because of a storm that sunk their Invasion fleet. The Japanese called that Storm "Kamikaze"
This seems like the kind of channel that would have hundreds of thousands of subs, but for some reason doesn't.
These videos are really fun to watch, keep it up.
HeyImSwitzerland can you sub to me?
He doesn't put out content that very often. That is why.
His indian accent is too funny...
A lot of people commenting without watching the video first.
There is no development physically or intellectually without effort & effort means work & this is Hardwork!!! Grate video!!! 👍 👍
Thanks man :)
I guess you forgot Afghanistan, Bhutan and Nepal. That's the only 3 country I knew. I learned there are others too.
Bhutan and Nepal became British protectorates. Afghanistan I think was briefly ruled by the British but don't quote me on that.
@@sarksdhar3693 they were briefly ruled by both the British and Russians, but for the most part they were effectively a protectorate of the British Empire during the colonization period.
@@sarksdhar3693 protectorates arent the same as colonies
i can't believe you have so little subscribers this is some real high quality content. don't ever stop posting. this channel will blow up soon i know it
also love the accent
ok but otherwise its great
Liberia and Korea may have avoided EUROPEAN colonization, but they were colonies of the US and Japan, respectively.
Finally an interesting geography channel from India!!
hey please don't give up you really deserve more
Your pronounications are great, the video production quality is great. Keep it up!
Such a great UA-camr, you deserve to have more subs. I will recommend this channel to all my friends
Thanks a lot!
You're Welcome! Thanks for replying
@@braincandyproductions4023 not really. He missed out Ethiopia.
It's a good video - here are my provisos.
1. Most Europeans have never wanted to own overseas areas.
2. Large parts of Europe never had an empire - instead they were contained in empires, e.g. the Ottoman or Austria-Hungary.
3. At 0:05 you only show the 'Big 5' original colonisers - but you actually mention several others later. Apart from the Big 5 there were Russian, Belgian, German, Italian, Swedish and Danish empires. The Russian one is huge, and has not been freed to this day, but unlike the Western European empires people have accepted it.
4. The USA is also relevant, even tho it's not European and in fact is an ex-colony that threw off imperial rule and opposed colonisation. It nevertheless continued to expand its own territory, and then took over territory that had previously been part of the Russian and Spanish empires. I don't know if there was any territory it ruled which was not previously colonised by a European empire.
5. ...except Liberia. That was effectively an American colony, even tho Americans didn't rule it. Local people ruled it, then it was taken over by the former American slaves. That's still a colony!
6. I doubt distance was a factor in the non-colonisation of Japan and Korea. The Europeans managed the East Indies, the Philippines, Indochina, Australia, New Zealand, Pacific Islands, the western side of the Americas, eventually New Guinea. I think the main problem with China, Korea and Japan is that their cultures and militaries were too advanced, which put Europeans off. Even when the British attempted Tibet at the beginning of the 20th century they were repulsed.
It took parts from México not spain
@@rodrigoe.gordillo2617 Yeah, I put it a bit strangely, I've corrected it now.
Well for America, I'd argue that they were not exactly colonizers.
They did indeed expand territory, but it was through purchasing land and conquest due to war.
The three closest to be considered colonies were Philippines, Cuba and Liberia.
For the Philippines, they won it from the Spanish during the Spanish Civil War and ran it Administrativily until it could be able to become independent they started to full independence process in the 1920s but wasn't finished until WW2.
Though shortly after the Spanish American War there was a Philippine rebellion who wanted to be independent right away which was suppressed.
For Cuba, it was the cause of the Spanish American War. Cuban independents used propaganda to get the support of Americans for their independence cause. And the mysterious sinking of the battleship Maine provided the Just cause. After the war, Cuba effectively became independent but was administered by the Americans for a good couple years before they became fully independent.
And lastly for Liberia, it was organized by Abolitionists in the US, to return black slaves back to Africa, and they bought large swathes of land from the locals which became Liberia. And it was run by former black slaves and became its own country for emancipated slaves who wanted to return to Africa.
@@noticedruid4985 Almost all the points you made support the idea that the USA was a coloniser.
* The European colonisers expanded territory by purchasing land and conquest due to war, among other means. The USA doing it fits right in.
* The USA freed the Philippines from Spanish rule, but did not originally intend to keep hold of it. It then kept its troops there and turned it into a colony of the USA rather than Spain. There was no reason why it could not have been independent right away as with other former European colonies, that just didn't suit American commercial and military interests. And yes a lot of Filipinos fought to free themselves again and were horribly suppressed.
* Same with Cuba except there wasn't the same level of resistance to American rule. It could have been independent immediately but that didn't suit the US' economic and strategic interests.
* With Liberia the colonisers took over territory that already had people living in it, who were then second class citizens compared to the descendants of freed American slaves. That division continues to this day.
I should also mention Puerto Rico, Guam, and various island groups the USA took over running just like European countries.
@@diggao77 By Italy? Yes. Technically could be considered 'neo-colonialism'.
my country broke free of both British Colonialism, and Arab Colonialism.
2:12
Actually, its wasn't the Dutch, it was the Portuguese.
The Dutch indeed had a presence in Japan as well, because when the Portuguese Empire united with the Spain Empire under the Iberian Union, the Dutch siezed the opportunity to take control of the Portuguese trade enterprises.
Korea, colonized by Japan
Liberia, colonized by USA
Colonization doesn't mean it had to be Europeans
@@habitsofsuccess4322 yes agree, but this video was centred specifically around European colonization
Where's Ethiopia? Ethiopia was never colonized they were briefly occupied during WW2 until the British Nigerian Regiment kicked them out. They're the only African country who successfully defeated their would be colonizers at the battle of adwa.
He hasn't done enough research. Now 66 thousand people have the wrong information. Adwa (አድዋ) is my pride. As an Ethiopian...it breaks my heart seeing Italians flag in my countries map. This is total bs!!!
Great video, but Iran was never really colonized nor it was a protectorate. But it's on the debatable list, as the Soviets and British occupied Iran for some time(2-3 years) just saying this because Iran wasn't in the vid
Sam SH Britain dominated Iran and its politics, the southern part of Iran had some kind of British garrison to protect the Anglo-Iranian oil company which the British were quite dependent on for oil.
"Hey, let's invade this completely defenseless piece of land!" - "Nah... "
Looks like you put in a lot work,anyway,nice video
Awesome my dude. Just stumbled upon your channel a few days ago and I'm loving it. Keep it up!
The Mongolians failed to reach to Japan because of an earthquake which happened twice
actually a tornado but fine.
I really like your vids
Thanks :)
They never got Ethiopia
I know it's a reference, but I would like to specify they actually did. Ethiopia was under Italian occupation for some years.
So it was kind of an Italian colony for a brief period.
The rarest pepe you will ever find
I only wanted to clarify in case he didn't know, no need to be rude and childish.
The history of the world, i guess
Leo V na. Nah they were invaded like France so... if you say Ethiopia was colonized France was too also bacilliclly most of Europe by the Nazis and Italians
Delta
Well, Mussolini was officially proclaimed Emperor of Ethiopia and his coronation was formally recognized by the whole League of Nations.
Instead France was never officially a colony of Germany, since the Vichy Republic was formally an independent country (even though it was de facto just a puppet state), and also basically no other country recognized German conquest of France, because, you know, they were still at war with Germany.
_they never got ethiopia_
SciBlast Official / New Videos ethiopia was occupied by italian, and their king cried before europeans who lastly helped them
*+SciBlast Official / New Videos* _How did this happen?_
Italy invaded in 1936
in the second world war Ethiopia, Poland, France was dominated. But that isn't a colonization.
Gabriel Fagundes ww2 started in 1939 not 1936
Brother your accent is just fine
From 1912 to 1950, Tibet was an independant country and escaped european colonization.
Yo you forgot Ethiopia!!!
Oh
Ok fine. You remembered
The Opium Wars is one of the most humorous and sad parts of history.
Ethiopia not colonized by Italy but 4years unstable.
He mentioned Ethiopia in the video
I don't know why you put Italian flag in Ethioians map. Ethiopia was never colonized, we defeated Italy in 1986. Do your homework and change the thumbnail right now. Indeed, for 5 years they were trying to rule but we didn't let that happen. We have our own language, untouched history, unique food. Change that thumbnail, my country flag is 🇪🇹. That is very disrespectful!!!
Japan wasn't worth colonizing because they didn't have anime at that time.
your videos is amazing
Thanks a lot
@@TheRandomQubeofficial አድዋ
to be fair in both of those times some angry weather helped japan against the mongols.
Ethiopia is not colonised just fight and finally won Italy !!!!
It was freed by the British during WW2, Ethiopia won nothing by herself.
Yeah... and the first act by the Italians in the newly-conquered Ethiopia was, sigh... to ban slavery.
But hush, let's not talk about it anymore. We wouldn't want to break the convenient narrative, would we?
p and we never heard this story and we never supported by anyone or are you kidding? You make your own history I guss !!!
p and
Yes that's true, the British helped Ethiopia because they were allies like France and Britain were. And It is common for allies to help one another. Ethiopia's Patriots' struggle was of the biggest contribution. And the very reason Italy could invade Ethiopia was because Ethiopia was banned from buying weapons by the League of Nations, instead it was allowed to be helped by Britain. You can read about it, that's for real. A weapon bought by Ethiopia with millions of dollars was banned in the sea while in transit to Ethiopia.
Colonialization is not like that. Even though Italians have modern weapons, the people of Ethiopia didn't surrender. They chose their death than being colonized. That's why Ethiopia lost more than thausands of its citizens. But if they did surrender and started to be ruled by Italians, that would definitely be colonialization. But that's not the case, it was very difficult for Italians to rule the country. They wasted their money, time and energy and at last they lost.
Dawit Bezabih Did you read books or interview old people to say this ? Are you Ethiopian? Look we never got this idea from anyone or we didn't learn this story. Of course Italy and Great Britain has their own problems but nothing to do with Ethiopian. They might help involved in direct but they don't fight with Italians. Because all European colonisers were not happy because of there's need to colonised one anothers.
North Korea was owned by the Soviet Union for a while and South Korea + Japan were occupied by America again until new governments were made. Liberia was a American colony. Thailand is the only one.
It can be argued that there were colonies inside Europe as well, like for example the balcans, being owned by either the Austrians or the Ottomans(the last being the exception, since they came from Central Asia and ended up "colonizing" a sizable portion of Europe... and also, never being colonized by Europe at the same time, despite being very close to it...) And distance isn't a great excuse for not being colonized, since the Shogun even felt threatened by the Iberian Union in the 1600's, seeing how Catholicism could turn Japan as an Iberian puppet state, and if distance was a reason, why were Australia and New Zealand colonized at all?! Since they were much more farther from Europe than Japan!!
Also, I thought that China, Afghanistan and Ethiopia would be included, and I would definitely discard both Liberia, since in the beginning was almost an U.S colony...
Portugal hade a colony in japan
Portugal had a trading outpost, the technical name of that outpost was "feitoria". Much more existed throughout Africa, and the South East Asia. Remenber the case of Elmina.
_" If you can't stand Indian accent"_
Why on earth would you feel the need to put a disclaimer for racists? And on such an impressive video that you obviously worked hard on. Your voice and accent are perfectly fine. Fukk those conts. Put a proper description deserving of the video.
I was fine with the accent, couldn't actually tell you were Indian, but, please. Back up from the mic next time, the peaking is somewhat annoying.
People talking about afganistan don't forget Afghanistan was a puppet state of the USSR , so it's debatable.
Iran was never colonised either. Then there is Turkey, who was a colonial Empire itself.
Japan: It's colonize or be colonized.
Very informative video!! Thank you so much for this, it really helped me understand this atopic as a whole!
Nice details in there that were never talked about in school here in the West.
One that pretty much avoided colonization that you didn't mention was Afghanistan. Overall though, very good vid keep it up!
Why is Ethiopia not on the list? Someone missed a history class for sure. Because you're video is very incorrect
Liberia was meant to be for the slaves of America that wanted to be free but Liberia still didn't have full control
Ethiopia was never colonized.
I have a question for you, that is what does it mean colonization? Ethiopia is never colonized becouse Italian come to ethipia and weighting for 5 year in this 5 Italian never rule Ethiopian people every body was in the jungle to fighting Italian. Italian was at a time no connection with other countries in diplomacy because always they are in big chaleng with gallant ethipian. so Ethiopia is never colonized you can refer from UN.
What song is that in the background?
7:44 Trying to transclude a MediaWiki template MediaWiki-style in a video isn't the proper way to credit a file in the public domain. When you type _{{PD-Japan-film}}_ in Wikipedia or any other MW wiki, it shows correct attribution. But in a UA-cam video, it doesn't, because they don't use MediaWiki.
You have to type "Released under the public domain"... or not. A file in the public domain is a file with zero copyright whatsoever. No attribution required.
you are adorable, informative and hilarious all at the same time strangely
But Thailand was colonised, by the French. The French waged some wars with Thailand for dominance in Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam.
This not accurate Turkey, Bhutan, Nepal and Iran were escaped the European colonization as well!
Ethiopia also
Turkey is probably considered a european power because of its capitol being Constantinople, Iran was part of Russia's and Britain's spheres, and Nepal and Bhutan were part of the British Sphere.
Ahmed Salah Ali Ethiopa was occupied for a while by Facist Italy during ww2
Nacho 3; Poland and France also was occupied during the ww2 and anyones says they was germany colonie...
+Dragees Gaming
Yep, Turkey was ruled by the Ottoman Empire for centuries after it invaded the last vestiges of the Roman Empire, and was very much an equal in Europe for much of its existence. In the late 19th-early 20th century, its declining power earnt it the label "the sick man of Europe."
Most African British colony's were wealthier when they were under colonial rule.
Portugal is the first country to explore the whole entire world!
Portugal did not explore the entire world
Thailand was never colonized I agree, but I think between 1900 - 1914, there are some military occupation in the north and east of thailand
Nothing about afghanistan and ethiopia? Korea escaped european colonization because they were 'colonized' by japan. And ottoman colony in balkans are included in 'colonized by europeans'?
Suci Retnowati Afghanistan was actually invaded by the British in like 18 something but not for long
Suci Retnowati You didnt watch the whole thing as he mentioned Ethiopia, and Afghanistan was briefly invaded by the British once.
Britain:
*y o u h a v e b e e n c o l o n i z e*
Japan was a colonial power itself
Liberia was UK and USA colony at one point
Thailand and Korea were Japanese which was a colonial power
Technically Thailand isn't a Japanese colony, however the Japanese did bully Thailand to ally with each other.
Well, both Iran and Saudi Arabia were never actually colonized.
Nice video but "debatable"? Seariously?
I have to say this as a proud Ethiopian!
I don't know! I think I got internet with a double "t" at the end.
www.speedtest.net/my-result/6649427347
Very interresting, you summarized it perfectely. Keep it up.
What about Ethiopia? Or are you counting the time when Italy invaded them?
Did you watch the video?
Uh i tought portugal found nagasaki soo i dont know if it was closed country
Turkey was also not colonized .I mean they sort of tried to colonize it but i guess thats not your criteria because of Ethiopia .
They are considered a European power, their capital was Costantinople for a loooong time. Also after WW2 it was colonized for like a year by (in order of colony land-mass) Italy,France and Britain.
Flavio Mongiovi Turkey doesnt see itself as a european country. Its more complicated than that. Turkey was rather occupied than colonized after WW1 (not WW2) because it lasted for only about 5 years. The country gained independence under Mustafa Kemal Ataturk in 1923.
Revlo Soul be kind you fucking moron
Make video not just Which countries escaped Colonisation not European Colonisation because this list will definitely not include Korea !!!!
I feel like Thailand was colonized by the British for some reason. Where did it get the name "Siam"? (Maybe I'm just crazy/stupid)
Siamese Empire, yep, "Empire"
Thailand never been colonized (except Burma and maybe Japan)
@@normalbrawlstarsdarryl7494 Actually it is "vassalized" in case of Burma and "Coerced into alliance" in case of Japan.
Portuguese man were the first to arrive in Japan, Portugal even haf a colony there
Japan had unequal treaties imposed upon them just like china after they were opened (by cannons, soundss like influencing to me XD)
What about Nepal and Bhutan? They were never conquered by the Europeans.
So... Japan was the only east country 100% free for its entire history?
The title of the video is "10 countries that avoided European colonization". Japan was never colonized by a European country.
DeepDeepSpace Japan wasn't colonized or influenced by any country in a significant way
These videos are great! But you must change the voice and the music like please...
rude
whats with turkey ? turkey always had a independent policy. just because they lost territory in the balkans and in the middle east doesn't mean "turkey" was colonized. when it comes to every other nation in the middle east I get it. For example Egypt, palastine, jordan, Iraq, saudi arabia were british colonies and lebanon and syria french. But Iran and turkey were never colonized if so then i guess russia was also colonized because the french came and went for a few seconds. The ottomans themselves were an empire just like russia and in WW1 they could save their heartland trough the independence war (which is very unique) unlike germany in ww2. Half of europe was an ottoman colony though for a long time
Subutay Han watch the whole video for gods sake.
Ya know if you talk about colonies you make my life very easy
How could you forget Afghanistan. we never colonised and we were the first country which defeated Britain three times.
yea indeed. its just that the term ''colonialism'' is very vage. see most historians begin seeing colonialism after the 15th century ... where indeed the europeans never conquered Turkey or afghanistan (aldo some do consider afghanistan at that point a combination of puppet tribes to either Russia or the UK). But if you look pre-15th century both modern day afghanistan and Turkey where conquered by Europeans at one point (wich some see as pre-15th century colonization). So it depends how you look at it.
What about Afghanistan wasn't it a buffer zone between Russia and British India?
How was Liberia not valuable ?It's called the grain coast for a reason.
most European powers at that time werent looking for food, they wanted wealth/minerals/rubber,....
The Indian accent is fucking hilarious.
Actually, your accent is really beautiful.
What about Ethiopia
Subscribed.
nepal was never colonized and ruled by other countries and only country in the world never be ruled please make a video about nepal
That's why you never give European a good ship and good navigators.
Implying the good ships and navigators didn't come from Europe.
Korea was kind of influenced by the Russian Empire before 1905.
Ethiopia was occupied not colonies, all the Italians did was build a road there that got destroyed.
Yemen (north) wasn't colonized well by the ottoman Turks , but not Europeans
What song is in the background?
basically if all the worlds colonial empires reverted to their peaks, europe would own *"everything"*
Japan was indirectly portuguese on mid 17th century
JPM Stalin-Mapping kind of..... but not really
History 1.0.1 , Liberia was the only African nation in the world that established and colonized by African-Americans Settlers from the United States by July 26, 1847 the new nation gained its independence from the American Colonization Society which helped and aided the African-Americans , Afro-Caribbean and other people of color who went to west Africa to establish and govern themselves and start a own country in 1824 ( Liberia ) by July 26, 1847 this new nation became the Republic Of Liberia and Liberia became the first and oldest modern black republic in Africa and the only African nation that was established and colonized by Free African-American from the United States , that is why today the Liberian flag , food, music, government, laws and Liberians people are decent from the African-American and Afro-Caribbean settlers from the United States and the Caribbean islands
Good job!
Thailand struck a deal with the U.K. Which will help the uk
+Streak Spider Thais were more wary of the French because they remembered the Seige of Bangkok in 1688. The Chakri Court was skilled at diplomacy and international subterfuge. This is evidenced by arrangements such as the Burney Treaty and Siamese-American Treaty of Amity and Commerce.
The part of the French empire the was to the east of Thailand was Vietnam,Cambodia, and Laos. Not just Vietnam and Cambodia
