I thought there would be more comments here
When I returned to the US, to the Great Lakes region, after some years overseas, I had to open a bank account. Without any other valid form of identification, like a driver's license, I presented my passport to the banker. The reply was "what's this?" She had never seen a passport before.
Passports are the worst thing happened in human traveling.
Compared to most other industrialized countries relatively few Americans have passports
In contrast, practically every European Adult has one, despite the fact that most European countries can be entered by europeans without border checks. Schengen Area rules!
@@khoichau8316 it's mostly because travel outside the US is very expensive and since the US is such a large country there's little incentive to leave unless you really want to/have to.
@@khoichau8316 Not super surprising when you think about it. The US is huge and as such a large percentage of our population never leave the country...they don't need to. In contrast, in other parts of the world where countries are much smaller, particularly Europe, people are constantly crossing international borders. In those places, passports are as ubiquitous as drivers licenses in the US (conversely drivers licenses are much rarer in say Europe because public transport is so good that you don't need to drive).

I know .. the irony in his voice that passports, now being created with full info and support of the powers, did not do the whole job. Hilarious. And yes, follow up video, as you say, is a must.
The Australian Aboriginals had a pretty interesting passport and diplomacy dating back 10s of thousands of years. Two nations would each get a new born and perform ceremonies to link the two together, effectively making them brothers in law. When grown up, these two would act as diplomats between nations and were expected to learn each other's languages and cultures etc to be good at their job.
They also had passports which were pieces of wood with carvings on them to allow strangers to travel through their nation without being seen as hostile.
Wow, pretty ahead of its time!
Wow.
Fascinating , thank you for that !
@Area69employee and their passports were disease, muskets and alcohol.
@@hestikakala3027 They also built all the cities, all forms of money, all the infrastructure. I mean sure, if you want the white European descendants who were born on the same land as the indigenous and all the Asian, African and American settlers to leave the continent, sure, we'll do that, and we'll take all the stuff we put here too so you can go back to the dark ages. I'm not happy at what the English did to the Indigenous population, but without them, you wouldn't have a country, or democracy, or any form of economy or resources that were dug out of the ground so, pick your poison
Once again History Matters asks a question that I've never thought of before in my life, but now that I've heard it I can't stop thinking about it.
Surprisingly I was wondering about this before. How far back in time would you have to go to be able to legally cross borders without a passport
Arabs had them in the 9th century lol
*Sees Zuid-Nederland for Belgium*
"A man of culture and intellect, I see."
Ja, toch?!
Might be worth mentioning that a lot of ordinary people still travelled without a pass from their ruler. Mainly pilgrims, which is also why they often banded together into larger groups for protection. I'd love to see a video on ancient tourism, which was essentially pilgrimage.
I beg to differ.
Tourism is travel with the purpose of seeing places.
Pilgrimage is travel to a place of worship, that you get to know places is a side effect.
While it looks the same, the mindset of the traveller is completely different, as is their behaviour.
@@marcondespauloTemples were also effectively used as banks though, as a depository, similar to monasteries acting as hostels for travelers. The question is one of mindset of the people at the time if it is "Go to Cairo and pay respects to the local gods as just good sense while we are there." and "I will undertake this holy journey to honor Osiris." Pilgrim had very different meanings by era, and well see Geoffrey Chaucer and The Canterbury Tales for how attitudes could 'realistically' differ among pilgrims from different occupations and standings.
@@Nasrudith well only that Cairo didn’t exist back then
@@marcondespaulo Dude, read the Cantenbury tales. It WAS tourism.
@@marcondespaulo In the olden times religion was omnipresent but less formal than today, pilmagre was just turism, and going to church was just going to chat with friends.

European Union: *laughs in Schengen Area*
Individual countries of the union still have passports and you need them if you want to travel to a non-EU country.
*UK has left the chat*
@@firefox3249 UK was never in Schengen Area.
@@PasserMontanus Aye, but EU citizens didn't need a passport to enter. You could do so with your ID.
@John Alejandro Is it really necessary to make the same dumb joke thrice under one video?
Fun fact: Felice Orsini's name roughly translate to Happy Little Bears
In a previous video, you mentioned Ancient Borders were porous and represented a gradual frontier with people traveling between them quite often. In General, do you know if travel permits were required by all people (say, in Rome) or only those on specific business; and if so, how effective they would have been?
This is especially important because I learned recently that in the old days you didn't get boat tickets to an actual destination. My best friend's mom, when she went to Britain from America to study in the early 50s, remembers she had a ticket that just said Europe. And once you had that ticket you just got off at your destination.
I had this question about 10 years ago..and this video answered it perfectly and humorously!!
I live in the US, near the Canadian border. Nearly my whole life I just needed to show ID & my birth certificate to cross. Regulations tightened up and I also needed a passport to travel to England while in college, but even then the guards at the Canadian border never cared. No stamps, no thorough checks, just a quick glance and a "Have a nice time." When I came home from England and passed through Customs at JFK Airport, they said "Welcome Home."
Well thats what traveling in the European union feels like for me
I did enjoy watching, and thank you for providing these videos!
Great to have many videos from you, keep up the great work !
This actually was something I wondered about quite a bit. Thanks for the answer!
Fun fact, there’s a library that’s right on the border between Vermont and Quebec. Before 9/11 you were able to easily visit Derby Line VT and Stanstead without a passport but now you need one
Lots of weird borders like that between Canada and the USA. A lack of satellite GPS when the borders were established.
Not just there, before 9/11 Canadians and Americans could cross the border anywhere with just a birth certificate, I used to go to the US quite often in the 80s and was never even asked to show ID at all.
They also except enhanced driver's licences enhanced Lerner permits and enhanced state IDs.
@@kenlompart9905I grew up in El Paso, in the US but right on the Mexican border. You didn't have to show anything at all in the 80s and 90s, though crossing into Mexico the Mexican authorities would charge 50 cents.
I've been binging all your videos recently, still in the middle of it and you threw another one in.

0:03 I love that Arstotzkan passport, Papers Please is an amazing game
This is fantastically information-dense. I love this format as it lets me look up so many new questions I never had before. Also, this makes me want to replay Papers Please. GLORY TO ARSTOTZKA!
As to the linguistics of the word passport:
In Dutch it’s “Paspoort”. Poort indicates the city gate origins, rather than the seaport origins.
Considering it comes from the Old French "passe-porte" and a porte is the city gates, this etymology is more probable.
Love these vids...they're so realistic they make you feel like you were THERE
This man is answering question I didn't know I had.
*AND I LOVE IT*

Man do I love this channel.
All the history questions I only thought to ask after (ok, LONG after) I got out of school. Best.Channel.Ever.
A short historyof the best passport-free zone would be rad. I'm talking about Schengen specificaly, but the other ones would also be fine, I guess.
As recently as the early-mid 2000s you did not need a passport for most north american travel. After 9/11 they changed that and now you need either a full out passport or a "passport card" which could also be an enhanced drivers license.
However, to travel by plane between US and Canada you need a full passport and not a passport card. The passport card only allows travel by land and water.
So glad to learn something new on RUclips in only 3 minutes, after a long time!
Genuenly loved that Papers please refrence in the start.
Spain in the 16th century had a place called the Casa de Contratación (Contract House) where the only way you could legally travel from Spain to the West Indies was through that place. They did it to avoid that the empire behave like a mirror of the mother country and only allowed certain people to travel. This rule was loosen in the 18th century with the Bourbon Reformations to allow a massive population growth in the empire and increase profits through taxation and trade

I only knew the definition of the word passport when I was little was from a name of one of Jules Verne’s character’s “Passepartout”. Even it’s wrong, all it was is a play on words like Passport and the french word Partout, which means “everywhere”. In a way, it is, but in reality, it isn’t. Regardless, thank you Verne for writing “Around the World in 80 days”
A passe-partout is a key that open all doors (master key).
Fantastic, great work 👍

"Safe conduct" is not the same thing as permission to travel, at least in England. "Safe conduct" was granted to foreigners, mostly dignitaries or those on government business, and granted them safe passage--meaning they could not be molested or harmed while on official business.
Yes. Also thought he got this wrong.
There was a specific term for the ‘passport’ of its day. In Latin, iirc, and widely used throughout Europe.

It's amazing that something as small and common place like a passport has such a colorful history.
Small and commonplace? How about the history of the safety match?
Actually, passports are now really quite complex: security printed, with numerous safeguards against tampering and duplication, and they have all sorts of functionality.
And just because something is small doesn’t make it easy: think of your watch or even the battery within your watch.

JEZUS CHRIST I WAS JUST ASKING THIS QUESTION A COUPLE DAYS BACK
An 87-year-old American World War II Army veteran decided to take his family to France as a last hoorah. Everyone was excited to go, so they took their vacations, booked their flights and off they went across the big pond.
After exiting the plane, the vet approached customs and was asked by the agent for his passport.
He fumbled a bit to look for it in his bag but couldn’t find it. His family came to his aid, but the French agent was incredibly impatient and rude.
“Sir, have you ever been to France?” he asked.
The veteran respectfully answered that he had.
“Well, you should know then that you should have your passport handy when entering France,” he said rather harshly.
Without missing a beat the vet fired back, “To be honest, the last time I was in France was on D-Day in 1944 and there wasn’t a Frenchmen in sight to show my papers to.”
I've seen this story online before. No idea if it's true in the exact details, but I suspect that something similar has occurred more than once.
