At the same time, 1920, Sly Bolsheviks were planning to overthrow Lithuania's government. Weapons were being smuggled to Kaunas, soldiers were instigated to rebel. Even the Soviet encyclopedia gives certain facts ; in the Communist style, of course.

Hvala bro

I visited Hrvatska roughly 5 years ago. Beautiful country and people. I wished I was born in such a blessed country! But I also could guess the dark times from the abandoned towns. Amazing to see how Hrvatska is full of blessing now

To si myslí jen velká menšina lidí, z mých zkušeností lidé u nás vnímají Poláky pozitivně, včetně mě.

Thank you for your feedback. I agree about the music choice and will be more thoughtful in the future.

@@DrewsExplorerNotes ein Beitrag des Mittwoches, 15. Mai 2024 ~ 9 000 000 humans of Germany Empire´s population, died due to the following reasons ! ° ~ 7 000 000 the Second World War (died civilians & fallen soldiers)! ° ~ 2 000 000 the expulsion/fleeing, because of the Second World War (civilians)! ° + those humans, who hungered to death (e. g. wasted crop fields, e. g. in Ukraine)! ° + those humans, who died in the concentration camps, and resided in Germany before! Around the years from 1945 to 1949, the map of Europe, changed. Germany became smaller, was occupied, and divided! The former German Eastern Terretories, between Breslau and Memel, where mostly given to PRP; CSR; USSR (Lithuania; Russia)! Poland´s territory made a Western Shift! The boarders of Germany and Poland, of the year 982 and 1990, look very similar to each other! Poland lost land area, to the USSR, too (Belarus, Ukraine)! But in all, the area of Poland, in terms of square kilometers, nearly stayed equal. Victoria, a British Queen, had "a lot of" grand children, e. g. Wilhelm II., George V.; Nikolaus II.

It is not official name, it is an official short name (like czech "Česko"). I don't really like it either, but something shorter was needed (as demonstrated by you forgetting an two entire words assuming you ment to write "I'm from the Czech Republic") )

@@Nekromageofapocalyp no instet of im frome czechia i use, im from czech thats the short version we shoud went for use in english speaking world unofficially as long as i remember this czechia think its new made up word that didnt exist before live in english speaking world over 20 years use English on dayly bases

@@simonkonya190 interesting, never heard anyone... May I ask where did you live where the short version "czech" was being used? Honestly, that rips my ears more than Czechia does.

i live in ireland but travel all over English speakings world and simpy ask your self you are czech or czechien how you intruduse your self before this made up term was made im actuly shock you didnt know this 😮😮

You are gravely mistaken. The country has been called Czechia for more than 500 years, first in Latin, later also in English. It's a Latinized version of the original Czech name "Cžechy". The word "Czech" means český or Čech/Češka or čeština. It has never been the name of the country.

I don't know about that. Most people I know hate the word Czechia because it looks and sounds more like Čechy than Česko. It's like calling the whole country Bohemia. Czech republic is much better.

@@petkamoravcikova Political name never can be better than geographic and overtime name of the country. Czech Republic can not be used in historical siruations and where all other country used its non-political and geografic name. Czech Republic exists for only 30 years and we are not important or exquisite republic by anything. We used to be Kingdom more than 700 years ans in its time much more important state than whenever during period of the republic. People who hate the name Czechia are victims of prejudice and ignorance. Czechia is absolutely appropriate name for our country and it used already by czech sportsmen, e.g. in the hockey Championships. Czech Republic is not better. There are more than 150 republics in the world but CZECHIA is only one

​@@vaclavkozak9566 I am not at all opposed to having a single-word name for our country. I have no idea why you're trying to argue with me on that point. I am specifically opposed to it being Czechia, which looks and sounds like Čechy, which is a single historical region of the Czech Republic. We have 2 quite good alternatives: 1, Use an acronym. If people can say UK and USA, they can say CR. 2, Use the actual Czech word - Česko. It's a single word, referring to the Czech Republic, that does not sound similar to Čechy. As I've personally checked, foreigners have no issue pronouncing this word, and English speakers specifically find it comfortable since it's Chess-coh for them. All of these terms (Česko, Czechia, Czech republic) are quite young. Half the world still thinks we're goddamn Czechoslovakia, if there's a time to change the name to be more appropriate, it's now. Finally, can you explain to me what ignorance I am currently displaying? Who am I prejudiced against by disliking the word Czechia? The foreigners who invented it? The cunts who decided to make it our international name without considering it properly?

Thank you for your comment! I chose to use 'Euskara' as it's the more common spelling in the Basque language and English, rather than the Spanish spelling 'Euskera'. I really appreciate your engagement :)

I lived there, nobody calls it that...Stick with Euskera

​@@davylloydful It's both ways. I am basque.

@@DrewsExplorerNotes That's exactly it.

Thank you for your insightful comments on the history of Sri Lanka. Discussions like these enrich our understanding and bring valuable depth to the conversation. Your input is greatly appreciated and adds significantly to our exploration of this complex topic.

Tamil emperors from South India ruled few SEA countries and SL, built irrigation, agriculture and complex structures like Angkor Wat, Borobudur, huge Tamil temples etc. in many countries. They conquered, built and left and never settled any Tamil population anywhere, including SL. As often claimed, those invasions didn't add any Tamil population to Eelam Tamils who were the original inhabitants.

brother you said Right words congrats❤

Lot of what you state is true but the Sinhalese are not not of predominantly North Indian origin but are largely descended from the ancient semi/proto or old Tamil speaking tribal Dravidians who migrated to the island during prehistoric times. The Sinhalese largely from the Yaka and the Sri Lankan Tamil largely from the Naga. Immigrants from somewhere is North west India did arrive mostly men but they did not create the Sinhalese or the Sinhalese language, but they came and intermarried into the local Tamil Dravidian tribes or took Pandian Tamil women from south India and got assimilated and their DNA is found both amongst the Sinhalese and Sri Lankan Tamils and not just the Sinhalese only. It was the arrival of Buddhism to the island around 2300 years ago, together with the Pali and Prakrit language, that was closely associated with this new religion and the large scale conversion of the semi or proto Tamil speaking Dravidian Yaka tribes in the south of the island, and their gradual mixing of Pali/Prakrit with their local Tamil dialect that, that created the evolution of the Sinhalese language and identity in the south of the island by 7AD. By around 300BCE the more elite Naga population living along the north east and north western coast, who were trading with world from their ports had adopted proper Tamil as their language and even when Buddhism arrived they did not convert to Buddhism on a large scale like the way the Yaka and their ruling Naga elite did down south but largely remained Saivite and even the ones who converted to Buddhism still retained their ancient Tamil identity and by 10AD even the ancient Tamil Buddhists in these regions had reconverted back to Saivism . The king who converted to Buddhism was a Saivite Tamil Naga, he was called Thevanai Nambiya Theesan in Tamil and Devnaam Piya Tissa in Pali, the meaning is the same in both languages more or less. Theesan was a very common Tamil name during this era, as per Keeladhi excavations. His father was king Mooth Sivan , a pure Tamil name meaning the great or venerated Lord Siva and his older brother was King Maha SIvan, proving they were all Saivite Tamil Naga. Contrary what was previously stated the Kings of Sri Lanka were hardly of North Indian ancestry but belonged to Local Tamil Dravidian Naga origin and later largely from the Pandian Tamil royal family and a few from the Kalinga royal family. The last kings of Kandy were Telugu origin Tamil speaking Naickers from Madurai/Thanjavur regions and they never fostered Telugu but openly fostered Tamil and used Tamil as well as Sinhalese as the court language of the kingdom of Kandy and they used Tamil and most of the present day Kandyan aristocrats and upper castes many now beating the anti-Tamil drum , ironically are largely descended from these South Indian origin Tamil Pandian aristocrats and later after the fall of the Pandians from these Telugu origin Tamil Naickers from Madurai/Thanjavur. These Kandyan aristocrats many of whom themselves were of South Indian Tamil ancestry, ironically did not want a Tamil king to rule them so betrayed his to the British and he and his family were deported to his native Tamil Nadu and not to Telugu lands, after the fall of the kingdom of Kandy by the British and most of these Kandyan aristocrats signed the Kandyan treaty giving the kingdom of Kandy to the British in Tamil. Both the original Sinhalese and Sri Lankan Tamil share the same common ancestry and are the closest to each other. They around 70-75% South Asian and 25-30% Western Eurasian, with the Steppe R1A male DNA found amongst both people, due to this one-off migration of large number of males from somewhere Northwest India and not Bengal as previously thought. The common era of local Naga or South Indian origin Dravidian Tamil or Prakrit speaking Hindu or Buddhist kings/ local chieftains ruling both people ceased around the early 13Th century and then anyone who wanted to be Hindu or Tamil migrated to the Tamil North and east and the ones who wanted to be Sinhalese or Buddhist moved South and the island started to have Sinhalese and Tamil kingdoms and chiefdoms. The Tamil Jaffna kingdom in the north and the eastern Tamil Vannimai chiefdoms under the king of Jaffna in the east until Portuguese defeated the kingdom of Jaffna and the Sinhalese Kingdom of Kotte and Kandy down south. All ruled by South Indian origin Tamil dynasties. The Portuguese captured the kingdom of Jaffna that consisted of the current northern province and the present Trincomalee district north of the Makaveli river, and the coastal Sinhalese kingdom of Kotte. Only the kingdom of Kandy remained and the southern eastern Vannimai Tamil chiefdoms who then sought the protection of the Tamil/Sinhalese kings of Kandy and came under his loose control but the Portuguese later captured these areas too. Due to the treachery of the Kandyan chieftains the Tamil Naicker king of Kandy was defeated in 1815 and he and his family were deported to Tamil Nadu and the British had the entire island. In 1833 the British for their administrative and economic convenience and benefit united the Sinhalese and Tamil parts of the island, that had always remained separate throughout history into one colony and named it Ceylon and they handed the entire island including the hapless Tamil population to the Sinhalese majority and left. They had no right to have done this . They should have divided the island as they had found it or created a federal form of government with protection for the island's Tamils, they never did this. The Sinhalese who never had a peep into the Tamil areas from the past two millennium, now had control of the whole island, and gradually started to set about destroying the island's ancient Tamil Saivite history and past and dismantling it with the power of the government, their majority, resources. They started to concoct and create fake history to justify this, and gullible foreigners believed their lies, as it suited them too politically and economically. Around 30-50% of the present-day Sinhalese, both low and high born are purely or predominantly descended from post 15Th century, south Indian Immigrants mostly from the then Tamil country (Kerala and Tamil Nadu) and some from Telugu areas, mainly southern Andhra. Some came to rule but the vast overwhelming majority were imported by the Portuguese and Dutch colonials to do menial service work or to work as indentured/slave labour in the huge southern spice estates. They were settled along the southern and western coastal areas and over the centuries converted to the Sinhalese Buddhist or Catholic identity. The present day Sinhalese Karawa, Salagam, Durawa and many other castes are descended from these post 15th century immigrants from south India and many of them are now the biggest anti Tamils and the biggest supporters of the Sinhalese Aryan myth. On the other side of the coin most of the Sinhalese upper castes and aristocracy both low country and Kandyan are also descended from South Indian immigrants. Again, largely Tamil but some Telugu. They migrated with each invasion or came as part of the royal retinue when a South Indian princess married the local king and were given lands titles and wealth and stayed behind. 90% of all Sinhalese leaders after the so-called independence belong to this group and again forgotten their own very recent South Indian Tamil immigrant ancestry and are now beating the anti-Tamil drum against the indigenous Tamils from the north and east , who have lived on the island for the past 2500 years or more.

​@@SivaSankaran-om2eywhat is this bullshits, you cant change the histry of Sri Lanka the way you want 👎😡

Thank you for your kind words and for sharing your connection to Jaffna and Kandy. It's great to hear that our documentary resonated with you. If you have any insights or stories about these areas, we'd love to hear them. We'll be covering the Central Province, including the historic city of Kandy, in an upcoming video :)
