I was going to start in Montevideo, then rent a car and see where the road took me, which is how I usually travel. But coronavirus put a stop to that.

      @@RareEarthSeries I missed that one, but what made me giggle a bit (I do have a warped sense of humour) is that like so many other mass emigrants from Europe, this has Celtic connections.
      Being Welsh I know more about Patagonia than Uruguay, though still not enough, but I do know that the Helveti (Helvetii? I can never remember which) were also Celts. My sister lives in Germany, on the flat but just before the Alps. It takes about 2 hours on the train to get to Zurich, so I've been to Switzerland a few times. When I'm there, it never feels like there is anything Celtic about the place, but I have only been to the German-speaking part, so maybe it's different in the French part (although I believe that where sis lives was once Celtic land. We got about a lot a couple of millennia ago :D. Anywhere that starts Gal- or Gaul- in Europe & Turkey is definitely Celtic).
      It would be interesting to know if any part of Switzerland feels Celtic to its inhabitants. Definitely wouldn't be anywhere without alcohol or music ;)

      @@y_fam_goeglyd The Celtic character of most of Western and Central Europe was already diminished by centuries of Roman control of those regions which had been inhabited by Celtic-speaking peoples, and with the influx and ascendance to political hegemony of Germanic-speakers such as the Franks, Goths, and Alemanni in most of the regions historically associated with Continental Celtic populations, many of the traces of those peoples that remained were further elided to the point that, for all intents and purposes, the dominant cultural identities of people living in those regions were, if not tied to a Germanic ruling class, then certainly a syncretic regional identity (i.e. Frankish versus French).
      In any case, it's been nearly 1,600 years since those areas of Continental Europe came under the control of the medieval predecessors to the modern states of the region, and in the intervening millenium-and-a-half, completely new, post-Classical identities have developed-in short, whatever traces of Celtic language and culture that remain there are minimal at best, generally speaking. However, by then many of those regions had widely-recognized names due to associations with past inhabitants, and many-especially Latin-place names were retained, often in modified form, hence Germany (Germania), France (Francia), Helvetia, Scotia/Caledonia (Scotland), etc.
      The most notable exception would be the Bretons of Brittany, who have retained some small measure of uniquely Breton cultural and linguistic identity, though they have largely been incorporated into the larger French cultural and linguistic hegemonic sphere due to more than a millennium of French rule, and the effects of standardization policies undertaken since the French Revolution (which have cognates in those major Western European countries whose national language was standardized early in the Modern Period, such as English). There is a movement to revive the Breton language, much as with other Celtic languages, etc.
      Breton is a P-Celtic language like Welsh, so they're more closely related than Welsh is to the Q-Celtic Goidelic languages of Scotland and Ireland, and like the Welsh, the Bretons are the remnants of populations which once were more widely distributed on the island of Britain and in Continental Europe. Of course, by now the Welsh have a lot more in common, generally speaking, with Scottish and Irish folks, due to being subject to English, rather than French, rule.
      Anyway, as an American with a Welsh surname and predominantly Scots-Irish ancestry, I hope the essay I just wrote in a UA-cam comments section was interesting and informative. ^^;

    One of the things I like the most about this channel is how it will often focus on stories that would hardly be on the spotlight otherwise; untold stories others gloss over.
    I doubt most Uruguayans would think of the Swiss in Nueva Helvecia as a topic to be featured in a series about the country. It doesn't appear to be so note-worthy Yet, this video did put the topic on the spotlight but not so much as a local story about a town in Uruguay but as a much more general reflection on several universal topics, from poverty to immigration to the construction of one's own identity in relationship to one's heritage.

Look at the rest of the world most people are extremly poor, there's starvation, lack of sanitation, lack of water, medicines, etc. Take a look at India, Indonesia, Bangladesh, etc. Even in the 1rst world. California is overpopulated, there's a water crisis and a housing crisis, many homeless people and overpriced houses. That's why California needs high taxes in order to sustain the high standard of living but most people don't know this.

But to more important points, I was very glad you gave Malthusianism the good thrashing it deserves. This is far more important than most people know, because the Western elite have been in love with Malthusian and social Darwinian self-rationalizing delusions for a century and a half, up to and including the present. The current "de facto world government", as the leading business journal of the Western world, the Financial Times calls the World Economic forum at Davos, is comprised mainly of billionaire corporate oligarchs, who by in large are Malthusians, social Darwinists, and eugenicists, and they are quite literally neo-fascists, as we are clearly seeing now. See Vandana Shiva, Rocco Galati, Peter Phillips, James Corbett and John Perkins, and my own writing, for more details.

    I have to say the images are on point. They are chosen perfectly. I'm from Switzerland and every clip of the first half of the video looked pure Swiss and I felt at home. And although I have no clue about Uruguay the images looked as if they were picked just as carefully.
    By the way I didn't know the specifics but I knew about the starving Swiss back then and that the poor people left Switzerland in droves.
    How did you do your research? This video seems to be done by a person living in Switzerland and loving his home country.

      @@caroa.3523 I know that the first half was from Switzerland. But you can take pictures from a place and it looks like any other place on this earth and you can take pictures of a place and you immediately know from where they are.
      Technically it's not entirely true, here in the comments I've read that some of the pictures are from Lichtenstein. But culturally and geographically they are pretty close to Switzerland.
