For context about the Einstein presidential offer: The office of President of Israel is a largely ceremonial one. It's a bit like the role of monarch in constitutional monarchies.
5:05 "They held these islands north of Scotland for a little bit" Those are the Faroe Islands and they still are an autonomous territory within the Danish Realm, just like Greenland.
9:35 context: Czechoslovakia removed all it's German population unless they worked for the resistance. They removed them by taking their property and forcing them away from their homes to either Germany or Austria. It'd be considered a crime against humanity nowdays (and was even back then), but it was justified by the U.N that it's "controlled population exchange".
This move was also supported and recognized even before the end of the war by both USA, UK and USSR, and they widely assited during the expulsion. It was considered as a form of reparation for the occupation, and the law that legalized this action is still active to this day.
The real bummer about the Zimmermann telegram wasn't even that he wrote it, it was that when the US suspected it was a British ploy to trick the US into the war, Zimmermann proudly admitted that he did in fact write it. German diplomacy after the Iron Chancellor was, to say it diplomatically, "lacking".
The USA and USSR supported many anti colonial movements together such as the Suez Crisis. I'm going to guess China opposed Nigeria because of the Sino Soviet Split, and France wanted to get more influence in West Africa as its empire was collapsing so they supported Biafra. Edit: this was also around the time oil was discovered in Nigeria.
@@ericthegreat7805 You’re right about all that; except the US and the Soviets supported the government for strategic and economic reasons. The government was the most likely to win and work with them afterwards lol Britain supported the government for obvious reasons and France supported Biafra for obvious reasons. Israel openly supported the government but secretly sold weapons to Biafra, just in case. They just wanted to gain more influence in African nations and pull them away from Arab nations; they didn’t care who won lol And China supported Biafra because the Soviet Union supported the government and they recently went through a rough break up lol
4:05 It actually comes from his fathers nickname “Dracul” and then he changed it to “Dracula” and started to use it as his surname. So yes Dracula (the vampire one) comes from him.

3:15 Drew just reading all them nations and casually ignoring Czechoslovakia 😔 Also (9:24) Czechoslovakia just yeeted all Germans living there for centuries back into Germany. Usually prior to the expulsion, a people's court happened where local Germans were humiliated, beaten and then banished to Germany.
Same thing happened in Croatia, many VolksDeutsch as they were called were expelled from YU after ww2. Their properties were given as presents to high ranking politicians or Partisan fighters. Heck even jewelry and precious metals were said to be left.

On the shores of Puerto Rico, then an independent neutral country, actually. That way, the British could further sell the deception by sending a coded diplomatic telegram (with a code they knew the Germans had broken) to Puerto Rico asking them to return the papers and not to look at them. And the Germans ended up paying a lot of money to Puerto Rico to get those fake plans.
From Wikipedia- When Czechoslovakia was reconstituted after the Second World War, the Sudeten Germans were expelled and the region today is inhabited almost exclusively by Czech speakers.
Czechs who went to settle Sudetenland after the war were mostly the ones who lost everything during the war or were previously expelled by the Germans and had nothing to return to, because the state was giving that land basically for free.
Wait, Drew didn't know about the 3 million Germans displaced in the Czech Republic? Didn't he know about the 7.5 million former Pommern, schlesien and Prussia?
A lot of the islands in the Atlantic were actually orginally colonized by Norway, which entered a union with Denmark. Svalbard, the archipelago north of Norway wasn't owned by Norway until 1925.

Yes, I knew that Dracula (kind of) means son of dragon. Dracul or dracu meant the dragon in medieval Romanian (but not anymore, I guess?) and drac (and maybe dracu/dracul too?) means devil in modern Romanian. So since his father was known as Vlad II Dracul, he literally was the son of Dracul. I mean I don't know anything about medieval or modern Romanian, but what I have understood, Vlad Dracula could be called as Vlad of Dracul. In same way, Drew of Durnil could be then called as Drew Durnila (or Durnilea), though I can be completely wrong, more wrong I've ever been about anything. Dear Romanians, if I said something wrong or offensive, please don't impale me.

I have to disagree with the countries after WW2 meme, Spain had aligned themselves with the axis even if they didn't join and the allies were more than willing to sanction Spain. I'ts a miracle Franco wasn't overthrown, in my opinion. The meme would be more accurate in WW1, where Spain made plenty of business selling food and medicine to both sides. 3:22
That was mostly due to the improvements of the relationships with the US, after WW2 they were looking up for allies against communism, also, the killings of Spaniards in Manila by the Japanese help Franco's regime to distance themselves from the axis But yes, we were much more better in WW1
You're right, the post war period was a tough one, and the Marshall plan didn't include Spain either (there is even a movie that "joked" about it, ¡Bienvenido, Mister Marshall!)
One of early Russian rulers married Byzantine porfirogennet (born during rule, literally - born in purple) princess. When Byzantine Empire get oofed by Ottomans, and porfirogennet children had higher legitimacy - they declared they are heir to Byzantine title, thus Third Rome.
