El proffesor Probably because the origin of "Latino" doesn't come from "Latin" but from a shortened way of saying "Latinoamericano", named after the region, not the language Latin. Did Iberians properly name the region? Not necessarily but it comes from the region name, not the language. And a lot of the European groups that colonized weren't just Spanish and Portuguese. There is a lot of French and Italian history in the areas too, the Spanish and Portuguese were just the dominant Latin groups. Latino doesn't refer to Latinness it refers to Latin Americans.

>video is titled "unknown COUNTRIES" >most of the video is about territories and dependencies that aren't actually countries. I know that the Americas are pretty well known, but if you were gonna include colonies and other types of dependencies, you should've name your video accordingly, and also you had the opportunity to talk about much lesser known territories instead. And yes, I know this video is several months old, so I'm sure you'll never see or care about this comment, but I wanted to point out the flaws anyway.
You got Curacao but not Aruba which is another of the constituent countries of the kingdom of the Netherlands. I'm not sure if Bonaire ( the 3rd of the ABC islands) is also a constituent country of neth like Aruba and Curacao but might be worth a check.
OK, about Grenada... Wikipedia does mention the relation with the city of Granada in Spain for the origin of the Island's name, but I've heard and read another angle about a fruit that grows a lot In that island called in Spanish granada and in English pomegranate that would have given the name to the Island... (Inquiring minds wanna know)
"French Guiana is the most prosperous territory in South America" Anybody who I've ever met from French Guiana or who has visited French Guiana know that it is highly underdeveloped and very neglected by France Yes the GDP is shown as high online but that's only because their GDP is counted as part of the rest of France But in terms of roads, infrastructure, transport, agriculture and basic standard of living, France has neglected its overseas departments and in my opinion basically just exploits French Guiana to have their space station
I keep telling everyone this! To say it is more developed than Argentina or Chile it is an insult. I have seen pictures the place looks like Haiti not even as developed as its neighbors.
Montserrat has a really interesting history if you happen to do a second one of these that focuses on the Americas. The entire population had to move from one side of the island to the other side because of its pesky volcano. I was lucky enough to visit its capital Plymouth before it was destroyed.

After slavery was abolished in america, europeans re-invented slavery under a new label -- they called it 'indentured labour' ; this is how so many indians arrived in these countries , half way. across the globe.
In 2004, the U.S. men’s soccer team played a World Cup qualifying match against Grenada in Columbus, Ohio. I went to the game, and as I was headed there, it suddenly occurred to me that I ought to have looked up Grenada’s flag in order to pick out any Grenadan fans. I needn’t have worried. There were a couple thousand of them at the game, and they were all wearing the team uniform. In fact, as I walked from the parking lot to the stadium, I was followed by a double column of Grenadans marching along and singing Grenadan songs. I’ve been to a number of internernational games, and the Grenadan fans were my favorite. They were very friendly and good-natured, especially given that they lost 3-0. Maybe some day I will get to visit Grenada.
Operation Urgent Fury - A two part American invasion of Grenada. The first and most difficult part was finding the island, this took 6 and a half years. The second part, the actual war was only 100 hours (4 days)
You mentioned Curacao, and its status as a constituent country of the kingdom of the Netherlands, but you left out the other 2 of the ABC islands (Aruba and Bonaire). All have the same status. I'm aware of them for multiple reasons, but having a friend from a MMO I play living in Aruba helps. Oddly, I think Curacao is the best known of the ABCs.
You missed two things about Surinam: it wasn't colonized by the Dutch, it was traded with the English for New Amsterdam (now New York). Also the territory was in fact called Dutch Guyana, the name Surinam is very young.
Fraser McFadyen researching this further, I stand corrected: I was under the impression that Dutch Guyana was the formal name and Suriname the informal one. It was in fact the other way around.
Great video as always, btw Curacao flag reminds me of the flag of Nauru. Also, was expecting St. Vincent and the Grenadines/Antigua and Barbuda (and Aruba, just because you mentionned Curacao)
@Edmond Green. After slavery was abolished in american states, europeans re-invented slavery under a new label -- they called it 'indentured labour'.Thus shiploads of people from colonial india who were living a miserable life there happened to land in these countries, to work in sugarcane plantations. Today they own these plantations.
@@tvoommen4688 indentured labour was around for much longer then that. it was a polite way of calling someone a slave without saying slave. white people fell for it as well and became slaves as well. to me the pratice is still being used to this day because you're only ever giving enough for your labor to make it to next week. thus the term "slave wages". give them just enough to feel free but they really aren't.
Hi, if you're going to make a part 2 please consider to mention places like Turks & Caicos, St. Pierre & Miquelon, Saba, St. Eustach, St. Martin, St. Barthelomy, Anguilla, Virgin Islands, etc.
Another fact Jamaica was originally owned by the Spanish later the British, also the British colonized the Caribbean coast of Central America and San Andreas (Colombia) some called the Moskito Coast where English is widely spoken, US Virgin Islands first belonged to Denmark, and Poland had some claims on Haiti but didn't colonize it and few Polish descendants can be found in Haiti today.
Ghyana? Saint Lushiya? Cowerland? Dachee? Well, I know, "Don't make fun of someone because he mispronounces words, this means he's learnt them by reading!", but well... If you want to be educational - check your stuff. In terms of informations themselves - it's correct I must say.

Hi General Knowledge! I enjoy the style of your videos, thank you for the work you do! In terms of corrections, 1700s = 18th century (not the 17th; but you probably knew that!), and for checking pronunciations, forvo.com is a great and free website :) Cheers!
General Knowledge, I arrived back here from a side trip to Wikipedia, where I confirmed my long-held pronunciation of #2--guy-AH-nah (Guyana). Your pronunciation, ghee-AH-nah, is the way Guiana is pronounced, which is the way British, Dutch (now Suriname) versions were pronounced, and how the present-day French version is still pronounced. In other words, the pronunciations are different. Suriname's capital, Paramaribo, has the accent on the 3rd. syllable, not #4, per Wikipedia, i.e., par-ah-MAR-ih-boh. 2 syllables in St. Lucia--LOO-shuh, rather than loo-SHE-uh, and its territory is 617 sq. km., rather than 617,000. Trinidad's sister island is toe-BAY-go, rather than toe-BAH-go (Tobago). greh-NAH-dah is in Spain; the island nation is greh-NAY-dah.
Well since I live in the Western Hemisphere I had BETTER know these countries lol. What I DIDNT know about Guyana this year was that they have a large Indian population. And I didn’t figure that out until Priyanka won Canada’s Drag Race lol. Her parents are from there. 😊
I love educational videos and yours are great.However and this might sound petty or pedantic but you really need to work on pronunciation. Not everything is phonetic. I hope you take this as constructive criticism rather than a slight, as that is how it is intended. I don't doubt you want your videos to be accurate in every detail. Lastly Britain and England are not the same. Check out videos by CGP Grey or Knowing Better to name just two. Failing that ask a Welsh, Scottish or Irish person. :-) Keep up the good work though I learned plenty and will keep coming back for more.
