    OH CRAP!!! I JUST REALIZED THE MISTAKE I MADE AT 2:13!! I accidentally named all the Parishes "St John!!" LOL AHhh that's what I get for not reviewing everything carefully! IF you want to know the names of all the parishes they are (In clockwise order) St. Johns, St George, St. Peter, St Philip, St Paul and St Mary.

    As an Antiguan I must say that you did a pretty good job, even with the mispronunciation of many many words including our dialect, then again it's not your first language. However, very good nonetheless. Also to my knowledge, though we are the friendliest and most hospitable people in the Caribbean, St. Kitts and Nevis [Nee-Vis] and us are more like' frenemies'. This came about because as you correctly said we went though most of the colonization together, however an incident occured where the Antiguans told the massas that the Kittians were planning to rebel and they didn't really like us after that [who can blame them]...they have since then called us "Garrat" which means 'talk too much"...just some additional knowledge for you. I must say I thoroughly enjoyed your presentation and I will be showing my students when I return to the classroom. I am looking forward to watching more of your videos.
    You get an A+.

    Antigua and Barbuda is an island sovereign state in the West Indies in the Americas, lying between the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. It consists of two major islands, Antigua and Barbuda (separated by 39 miles), and a number of smaller islands (including Great Bird, Green, Guiana, Long, Maiden, Prickly Pear, York Islands and further south, the island of Redonda). The permanent population numbers about 95,900 (2018 est.), with 97% being resident on Antigua. The capital and largest port and city is St. John's on Antigua, with Codrington being the largest town on Barbuda. Lying near each other (the main Barbuda airport is less than 0.5° of latitude, or 56 kilometres (30 nautical miles), north of the main Antigua airport), Antigua and Barbuda are in the middle of the Leeward Islands, part of the Lesser Antilles, roughly at 17°N of the equator.

    Hey guys... and the peeps at Geography Now.. just a quick side note... I'm from and currently reside in Antigua... and it's amazing what you did in this video, it's enticingly informative... HOWEVER... The correct pronunciation of the name is Antigua (AN-TI-GAH) . It makes us cringe sometimes, but the more you know guys. Keep up the good work.

      MuffHam, It actually was a country, since about 2100 years ago till when the British included their territory into modern day Israel. The proper Palestinian country used to be at least 80% of today's territory and almost all of the central part of what is now Israel.

    • @MuffHam
      @MuffHam 9 лет назад +1

      Mark Said There has not been a country called Palestine since biblical times. When the British took over that land it was part of the Ottoman Empire and not a country. Palestine has been a region not a country, two completely different things.
