      "Several overseas territories and dependencies of various member states are also formally part of the EU (for Spain: the Canary Islands, Ceuta and Melilla; for Portugal: the Azores and Madeira; for France: Réunion, French Guiana, Martinique, Guadeloupe, Mayotte and Saint Martin) while in other cases territories associated with member states are not part of the EU (for Denmark: Greenland and the Faroe Islands; for the Netherlands: Aruba, Curaçao, Sint Maarten; for France: French Polynesia, Wallis and Futuna or New Caledonia)."
      Weird, isn't it? For example, Faroe Islands are not a part of the EU, while Réunion is.

      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. When the shorthand was translated into English, NO ONE bothered to actually learn what it was referring to so they assumed it meant the language.

    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.

    "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

    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.

    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.

    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.
