As a citizen of Africa city, Americans have earned my respect
As an Africa, I respect the Amaricans for knowing about Africa city, it's usually outshined by Asia city.
As a person who lives in the forgotten on the map country, I think you guys outshine us
@@mayortyranno4645forgotten? Non-existent!

@@DopeSauceBenevolence No it doesn't . The media is lying to you. Everyone who claims to live in New zealand is a paid actor
As a French resident its nice that Americans know so much about our continent Paris. Also I'll be visiting Eiffel Tower in London soon! Vive la Britain.
@@patrickchapman3242 no no, that would be next to the great wall of china, by antarctica 👍
but isn't australia very far from paris ?
it's in British Museum.
@@gizel4376 It's just east of Switzeland, so not that far through the Alps.
Hope your parisians will join our great country of Eiffel Tower someday. It is so nice, settled in the middle of Africa, Tokyo. From a fellow italian.
I’m a Brit and my favourite history teacher said to our class in year 7 ‘there’s no point learning history if you don’t know the geography or culture of that place. You’ll not understand the history of it.’ And he was right!
I took a class in the history of Southeast Asia 50 yrs ago in college and the first thing the professor did was give us a map of the area and make us learn where all of the countries were. I am still really good at placing countries in Asia. Africa is still a bit of a challenge though I have been working on it.
@@chronic2023 Sporcle quizzes helped me a lot in that regard. Names of countries, their outlines, their flags, etc.
But was he from the country of the moon?
My AP human geography teacher had use do geography test, but now we don’t do them anymore, but I can tell you the names of a bunch of countries in the African continent, Europe, Asia, etc.
"Name one country in Africa"
"Kenya"
Proceeds to say that Tanzania is Kenya
Yeah, Ikea's totally a country 💀

You’re so true
Ya I live in IKEA it’s pretty nice here I guess…
In the Balkans you have to know Geography so you can claim all your neighbours lands as "historically yours", in the US you have to know Geography to not get humiliated on the internet, WE ARE NOT THE SAME.

Mfers when Americans don’t know where Glouchesterbuttfuckshire, England or the capital of Shitcockburg is.
Most of them are scripted so ....
In England, the curriculum states that by the age of 7 children should know the name of all the continents, and the major oceans, and name and locate the 4 countries of the UK, and their capital cities, as well as the main features of their local area, as well as the beginning of basic geographical skills like map reading.
It's a totally different approach to the importance of geography....
A friend of mine (american) that I met few years back was shocked because I was working in Tunisia at the time and he didn't know where it was located and when I told him in Africa he was fascinated as to how they have access to the internet!!
Yep, I can relate, I am Brazilian and some guy was telling me, (a Brazilian) that Brazil is in Africa and he would not accept it when I told him that he was wrong... so wrong. And when I first came to the US in 1972, many students, (I was in the 10th grade) seemed to think that I had never seen or ridden in a car, (I was born and raised in São Paulo). I decided to have a bit of fun at their expense and regalled them with stories of "living in the jungle" and "hunting for breakfast". And they ate it up. Their ignorance of their Country and the World in which they live came as a shock to me. I couldn't believe that American kids were so dumb about everything, they also thought that since I lived in Brazil, I must've had some "good weed", I had heard of marijuana in Brazil but had never seen it and didn't know anyone who had even seen it, let alone tried it. That was another shock for me, that crap was EVERYWHERE, pot, pills, hashish, it was mind boggling. I Also thought that American High School was a joke, I was placed in the 10th grade but I had covered it all in a Brazilian School 2 years earlier. Ended up graduating 2 years early. Loved American girls though, WOW! damn! did I love American girls, (still do).
One time we were supposed to pick a country to do a project on
And this one girl wanted to do Alaska
We told her it’s the USA but she “didn’t want to do the us because other people were”
*proceeded to do Alaska which is part of the us*
you didn't have to cut me off-
The reality of every nationality and as such NATION in the world, is that by all means a State IS what a country is. Not only do massive, oppressive federations call themselves "nationalities", they call economically insignifacnt states flyover state, and every STATE beyond the capital city essetnially flyover region.
This is not normal, this is the political equivalent of Chinese bodunk cities washing their restaurant plates in dirty river water, and it's COMPLETELY normalized. The drafting of political will and tax resources even is built to serve this function, and that's why democracies work the way they do, simply functioning as accountability sinks so that a democratic voter is never accountable.
For his atrocities that rival dictatorships, when a person with authority makes similar decisions witohut a scapegoat in "the corrupt politicians". Only in democracies are POLITICIANS that black mark on POLITICS, anywhere else like real republicks politics equals diplomacy and NOT the military industrial complex, economy of war. Deomcracy doesn't boil down entirely to voting, but in democracies voting is like food stamps of political power, and it's the ONLY currency that voters trade in that field. It's a ghetto, it's a project housing distirc. THAT is why people have no clue what a country IS, beyond their local governor, a robber baron in a high tower.
@@sboinkthelegday3892 You good bro?
@@sboinkthelegday3892bet you are the girl in the story defending her reasoning
@@sboinkthelegday3892So, every nationality is a country. Ok, so, according to your logic, Rome is a country today. Because Roman is a nationality. Burgundy is a country, because Burgundian. No. A nationality does not mean country. Officially UN recognized countries, are, shocker, countries. Nothing else
The girl saying „there’s no country in Africa“ is actually a time Traveller where the African Union truly united.
Damn, Drew literally made this joke by the time I finished writing lol
Funny fact:Africa will never be United because there are probably of thousands tribes
She lives in time before colonisation

As an American myself, I can feel his pain.
the teacher of the ninth grade history class at my school (in the US) made them make paper maps of the world. some highlighs included a map with only the UK and spain in europe, the UK was in the middle and spain was an island. another one had all of central america perfectly filled out but the only thing in africa was "nile". and the worst one forgot about south america and australia.
"Where's North Korea"
"It's in Africa''

9:15 Are we not gonna talk about the fact that they put kenya in tanzanai for no reason
Had to scroll hundreds of comments before finding someone mentioning this 😂
Oh yes we are gonna talk about it And that Drew did not care
Bro the second I saw this I knew something was off

I once was on holiday in Spain. My grandma and I was eating at an restaurant, and when we went to leave, two Americans on the next table guessed we were from Czechoslovakia. They were so shocked when I told them we are from Norway lol.
Bro they are the same, like both are in europe and they also emmmm they also ummmm emmmm uhhhh yeah...
czechoslovakia? how long ago was this?
@@juanvarughese8096 happened this year actually… think they weren’t updated on their geography🤷🏼♂️
@@NorweiganKarl Let me ask you this, are you caught up on your South American geography, or your African geography? You Europeans think you are all so important that we should know everything about your continent that y’all do. The simple truth is Norway and pretty much any part of Europe that isn’t Western or Central Europe just aren’t an important enough place for us to be able to distinguish between y’all without being told where y’all are from. Americans are never thinking about Norwegians so why would they automatically know when they see one? When you see someone from Thailand would you automatically know they’re from Thailand just from a basic conversation? I want to cap everything off by saying just because I say Norway isn’t important to us doesn’t mean I’m trying say that Norway isn’t important at all. Obviously to Norway and it’s neighbors, they are very important, but that’s not gonna be the case for everyone.
@@williamhardee8863 lemme tell you this. As I commented this just to tell a funny story, I do believe in everything you said. However, I think that the European school system is better, since we are being taught a little bit from every part of the world, not just all about a little place. And I am actually, caught up on some of the things going on in South America and Africa, but I am not caught up on all of it. You prove a valid point, but we over here in Europe are also taught things about the rest of the world.
Always want to see this kind of game where a person point new caledonia when asked to point out where french is.
well in a way that wouldn't be wrong lol
It would be better if the answer is point on french Guyana
French antarctic islands :)
Amazing cat pfp
Antartique*, sorry. . .
I'm 13 years old and I learn geography from RUclips now I can locate almost every country in a world map
As a Quebecer (and therefore a French-Canadian), I laughed out loud, happy to see that our neighbors know so much about the world around them! (On a more serious note, include geography classes in your educational program, a 10-year-old Canadian knows his geography much better than any of the Americans in this video).
Growing up, I had a shower curtain that had the countries of the world on it. I had a Current events class that had map quizzes, I would study while showering 😂. I got perfect scores the whole time, I'm pretty proud of that.
I don’t even know how my siblings and I know some geography and some flags. We’ve pretty much never been taught it in school but somehow all of us can identify more countries and flags correctly than our friends
@@dylanfield7098I know many of those countries because of playing fifa too much.
I memorized the player's country names
But did the shower curtain include New Zealand?
@@Gohkar/ShowerCurtainsWithoutNewZealand 😢😢
@@the-bz3zt Yes video games are actually a good way to learn some things. When i was younger i played a lot of minecraft and back then it was only available in english. So I automatically learned a lot of vocabulary
Lol here in India we have a single chapter (at least 20-40 pages) dedicated to a single continent in class 5( age 9)we had maps which were hard. Questions were like this: Point out the concentration of red soil in the continent of Africa 😂 lol those were some days
Yes those were the days, as if the Indian history, which has a gazillion empires and periods, and Indian geography aren't enough, I had to learn the geography of France and Nigeria lol.
Reletable for an Italian although we did it later, we had ( around the age of 12-14) to point out the capitals the lakes and rivers of the various continents and then describing the various geographic differences and the which sectors would have been more advantaged and disadvantaged in such territory ( for example in the Jungle Exotic fruits may be grown more easily while anything regarding the Tertiary sector won’t just have the infrastructure to be supported) while a plain area near a river will be more useful for Industries such as ( we also had to make examples) the Solvay.
@@Boretheory this seems like our syllabus lol, although we had all this thing in just one chapter in class 8. Yeah I know, tragic..
@@Harshiahaha😂
@@Harshiahaha To be fair, I had to learn a bit of Indian geography (topography and density of population, that kind of stuff). Thanks to god and a limited amount of time, I didn't had to study Indian history.
While watching this I had a several mental breakdowns.
As a Turkish person I confirm I’m from Zimbabwe
(source: trust me bro)
5:11 Ngl I wouldn’t mind our culture is already pretty Americanized
To be fair about not knowing where Ukraine is, a lot of my geography knowledge is based on staring at the maps in classrooms. When I graduated in 2013 it still wasn't uncommon to see pre-1991 maps that they never bothered to replace.
this is why united states are bad in geograph and not fair you guys are so low level
Well yeah, but i mean they/you were never curious about the new war in there since it started up in early 2022?
This is really sad tbh
I’ll never forget the first day of senior year of high school in aquatic science. The teacher gave us a world map to name all the oceans. I kid y’all not literally one other person and I in the class were able to name them correctly. Some people couldn’t even name more than three. I was baffled🤣
Never heard of an aquatic science class in high school
@@Lybrelit was more of an elective. I needed to get more elective credits for graduation.
I don’t know any oceans except the atlantic, pacific and indian ocean if its even called that, yeah oceans arent my speciality
@@Tied112only missing the Arctic Ocean and the Southern Ocean!
Well there are only three undisputed ones. The Arctic ocean isn't always considered one, I think the Southern/Antarctic ocean is generally recognized as one but a compelling case can be made against it, and the Caspian may or may not count as Ocean depending on who you ask.
As an American who is extremely good at history and geography this almost physically hurt me too watch
Also side note, recently a few people at my school said that learning geography and history was useless right to my face and I felt like I was gonna implode right then and there-

this made me loose all hope in humanity, this made me cry
When I was in grade school in the United States, in the 1960's and 70's, we did learn Geography as a discrete subject. Every year from 4th to 8th grade we covered about 1 continent each. We learned the names of countries and their capitals, the major mountain ranges, rivers, lakes, and other geographical features, the climates that could be found there, major agricultural products, and of course we learned to read maps. I don't know why or when we stopped doing that. Of course countries have changed drastically since then.
Is it because a poorly educated electorate either doesn't vote, or have the skills to consider who they vote for?
Bro I'm a US American and they taught us basic geography at my elementary and middle schools...idk what happened for these guys.
They are the divided states americans
That pfp clearly shows what happened
Well that girl that said there's no countries in africa was clearly confusing it with australia, that's the only explanation i've got. ^^
Correct but all of this wasn't covered in school
Drew's point on geography was very true. Just knowing where countries are can tell you alot about how they relate to one another

1:11 As an Indian, I can confirm that we invented the pizza, pasta and spaghetti. Julius Ceaser was definitely born in Pataliputra (present day Patna) in 369BC and yes we switched sides during WW2.
U mean u had a civilwar? No switching sides considering the Italo-Indian kindom surrendered
@@Boretheory but one month after the surrender, it did join the war against its former ally, so it did kind-of switch sides. Also, they had switched sides during WW1, so there's that. :-)
Only idiots don't switch their opinion when circumstances change.
And you Indians aren't stupid. 😊
@@irrelevant_noob nono
They didn’t as in WWII the new government was formed by CCP and Partisans which fought by allies side from the start, the fascist regime continued to fight with the German with the republic of Salo
In WWI even less as Italy left the alliance because Austria infringed point 4 and 7 in which it couldn’t start a war in the balcans. They tried to convince Italy but it preferred to leave the alliance. It joined the war but a year later
3:07 The funny thing is that Novaya Zemlya, much like Japan was also Nuked. Except it was the Tsar bomba.
That's what I was thinking 😂
Guys, i have a theory.
I'm not taught geography by a teacher, I teach geography to a teacher
COUNTRY OF STARS is wild!
Don't know how today's geography lessons in Sweden are, but I went to middle school in the 1960s, we had "blind maps". I loved it.
Blind map = only boundaries are drawn. On some also cities, lakes and rivers, but no names. It was educational!
Too bad kids in the US don't get the chance to learn it.
these sort of videos (the one you're reacting to) have a very very high chance of just cutting off all the right answers, because making people look dumb is generaly more entertaining.
I would be very interested in seeing one, that is completely unedited so we can get a real idea of what people do or do not know.
I am in 9th grade and i feel ashamed by how little other Americans know about geography

I'm 99% sure every one of these 'Muricans *dumb!* ' videos or what have you are entirely scripted. No one from this country could fail to identify the United States on a map, not unless that person is blind. I doubt anyone from this country would fail to identify Canada, Mexico, France or the UK, average people might not readily know all of the rest.
@Iosinyhrh Haha great response to someone who couldn't get past the fourth word before making one of many mistakes. There should be a browser extension to auto-hide comments with "by the fact".
Or spell 'where'.
@@Lybrel ESL bro? In this context, "Person + 'Made X' + 'by the fact that' + '...'" is a perfectly acceptable construction; it's just about the most uncontroversial thing I've seen someone take issue with. If you're going to insult someone, at least know the subject of contention well enough to do so. English isn't as rigid as you think: you can get away with a lot of things uneducated people will mistakenly call "incorrect".
As Indian seeing my country map this long making me scared 😅❤️
This Geopraphy things we studying since 1st grade to 10th grade
and I was like: are you ok my human people out there
1:57
As someone who is currently in the American public school system, they now teach us about geography (we start learning about it in fifth grade) so yes, they’re some making progress 😄
They were teaching geography 30 years. It's just that not everyone paid attention.
I never understood the excuse “I wasn’t taught geography in school so why should I know”
You hear names of countries in the media and out and about in conversations. How do you not have the curiosity to see where that is? At the very least the continent or that Africa is not a country. You don’t even need to actively learn that to know that …
To answer your question, being braindead helps a lot😅
5:52 Can't help but notice he spelled Czechoslovakia wrong
I’m in constant pain until schools teach more geography maps.
As an American highschooler, I can name plenty of countries and locate a few. I'm better at naming them

What if we ask the British to name countries around the world, and then we compare their map to the Americans’ map?

Better ask to name the states within the USA because we only know a few. Usually the USA is shown as a big monolithic block on our European maps.

It’s not just the USA for bad geography classes.I live in Canada and took a geography course, the first 2 lessons were on where things are and the rest were on “ how to harass fast food employees to make less waste” or sweat shops. I learn more from this channel then the 4 month I was in that class makes you think eh
haha you said eh
It’s a fun word to say eh
Yeah, in Canada you basically do colouring sheets (I think that’s what they’re called) until high school and you’ll learn about provinces and territories. That’s basically all of Canadian geography class.
I took geography test about the world in 2nd grade. Idk what school drew was going to
Isn't Canada a state of America though?
I definitely think we need to seriously teach people geography starting at a more elementary level.
5:05 there is this dude that had a program on dutch television, where the premise was that he wanted the Netherlands to become the 51 state of america so that in retrospect, he was born in amurica and could run for president, this was around the Obama era 😂 he toured amurica with a big bus with Van Rossum for president! With his head and amurican flag on it and all 😂 🇺🇸🇺🇸 he said, the more i went down south the more people liked the idea and didnt mind a foreign president because their president already came from Nigeria 💀
At 12 I knew all countries in Europe and their capitals, so this is funny as hell to me
BRO. I GOT TWO STAGE 4 TUMORS IN MY BRAIN AFTER THIS.
I wonder if Geography is taught differently at different places and times,
Like I learned about basic geography in elementary and middle school,
And had a whole 2 classes dedicated to Geography and Geopolitics in High School, and I was in a pretty bum school honestly, it wasn't that well funded but we still had like a Geography, Health, Economics, Federal/State Law and Statistics class in High School so I just don't know people don't know some basic stuff.
It is. Different countries and districts have different curriculums. As far as I know, Teachers decide how to teach their students and if they pass there regional test then they can move up grades.
I'm too curious to know how was this Geopolitics class you had in High School. Do you mind telling me what did they teach you more concretly in that class?
We didn’t have much education in the form of „which countries are where?“ but more about Passat winds, minerals, economical and ecological considerations. We were supposed to learn the locations on our own and turned out fine.
Some anecdata:
I went to extremely well-regarded and well-funded public schools in Chicagoland. We had very limited geography in 7th grade Social Studies and that's it. That was 1986-87, for me. We covered US states and capitals. Same with European countries and their capitals. For the rest of the world, we had a single quiz that required labeling 10 or 12 countries/capitals. That was about it.
In high school, all I had was AP US and European History classes. At a highfalutin university, I took a bunch of history classes for fun, but they didn't even offer geography classes, not that I would have taken one.
However, I picked up a lot of geography on my own via learning about history. That, plus watching Olympics and being generally curious, was sufficient for me to be able to list about 175 countries when I tried during my late-30s. That was impetus to get me to fill in the gaps, which were mostly not knowing which islands were sovereign nations vs territories. Now I can list all countries and maybe 90% of the capitals without any problem....a little more problem if it involves spelling the capitals of Brunei, South Ossetia, etc..
My point is almost all of that was self-motivated away from schools. Someone could have easily gone through the same schools I did without know much of anything about geography beyond where some white people live and are from.
Some USians do have more robust, formal geography instruction in school, but it varies greatly.
Diff countries and regions or even sometimes states do have diff curriculum but they all usually do include common basic knowledge. Not sure if they bunked class or teachers forgot to teach them.

DAY 210: Petition for Drew to put the flag of Wisconsin in the background
What makes me always sad is not that people are bad at geography (many even feel bad about it). What is terrible is that people usually are proud, they are bad at math.
I love how artiox made this part 10:58 so cinematic
In Britain we have frequent geographic tests and lessons so most of my fellow Brits know almost all of them I got 97% right pretty good for myself if I do say so 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇺🇸
